Marvelling at the ingenuity of the Scheme, Mr Roberts was impressed by the amount of power the Scheme is able to generate and so quickly. “And it’s clean!” he said, “Having a variety of sources for power, such as hydro, solar, wind and coal ensures

Correction and an apology The Monaro Post would like to correct a page 5 article published in the Wednesday February 3, edition titled ‘Jindabyne man gaoled for assault’. It was reported that Jindabyne resident Ian Michael Hall was incarcerated for an assault conviction.

This information was incorrect, as Mr Hall received a 13 month Intensive Correction Order (ICO) of community service rather than imprisonment as a result of the conviction. The Monaro Post apologises for any inconvenience caused by this error.

Cooma Auxiliary keeping our community healthy Continuing their good work, the Cooma Hospital Auxiliary has donated eight new blood pressure kits for the community nurses. This is already the third donation of equipment that the Auxiliary has made this year. Nurse Manager Julie Spring thanked the committee members at a demonstration of the equipment last Thursday. “Our last blood pressure machines were 10 to 15 years old, so it was about time we got some new ones,” she said, “These particular machines are top quality and worth about $184.80 each.” Fiona Cooper, Cooma’s McGrath Breast Cancer Nurse, also expressed her appreciation for the donation to the Auxiliary. “The great thing about these new machines is that they are very lightweight

There are about 50 in total that assist

in running the kiosk, selling gifts and snacks for patients and their families in the hospital. Each of the volunteers was presented with a certificate of appreciation for their dedication and hard work. The kiosk is one way that the Auxiliary raises funds in order to donate much needed equipment to the Cooma hospital. Another is through raffle tickets and they are currently selling their Mother’s Day tickets. First prize is three nights

Tickets are only $2 each and you will find members of the Auxiliary selling them at various locations around town until the draw on May 5.

Why Leave Town Initiative and Cooma man on sexual assault charges Customer Service Training A Cooma man has appeared in Queanbeyan local court to face charges related to alleged historical sexual assaults. In December 2014 last year, officers attached to Monaro Local Area Command received reports of a number of alleged sexual and indecent assaults that occurred in Cooma between 1992 and 1996. Detectives launched an investigation, and following ongoing inquiries, 67-year-old David Ford, a former hairdresser, was arrested in Cooma last Friday February 26. He was taken to Cooma Police Station where he was charged with

Experience of a lifetime at sea Truck rollover, assaults Brad Constance spoke at the meeting of the Rotary Club of Cooma on 24 February about his 2015 trip on ‘Young Endeavour’. The two month voyage from Amsterdam to Rio gave the 24 young people selected for the trip excellent opportunities for training and development, the principal objective of the ship. They had to work hard raising and heaving in masts and climbing up onto the yards. The ship called at the ports of

Brest, Canary Islands and Cape Verde where a cocktail party was held with local dignitaries including the Australian ambassador or a representative.

Tours at each port were arranged for the young people. Brad is pictured on board the Young Endeavour.

COMPLETING THE

LOOK

On Friday February 26, police and NSW Fire and Rescue were called in relation to another log truck roll over on Bucky Springs Road in Bombala. The crash occurred at about 7am where a fully loaded log truck was travelling towards the township of Bombala. The driver of the truck heard a loud noise from the rear trailer and lost control. The truck and trailers rolled causing the truck to slide on its side for approximately 150 metres. NSW Police and NSW Fire and Rescue from Bombala responded to the crash and located the scene just past the Bombala Tip. A male driver was injured suffering with a minor laceration to his head. No other person or vehicle was involved. The driver was treated by NSW Paramedics and conveyed to the Bombala Hospital for further treatment. There were some minor fuel leaks which were controlled and logs covered the roadway causing obstruction. The road was closed for a period of six hours while awaiting a heavy tow from Bega. The road was cleared about 1:30pm

Neighbourhood Centre extends its Open Doors Following the threat of closure last year, the Snowy Mountains Neighbourhood Centre has turned a major corner and will be opening its doors an extra day each week. “In June last year the centre was set to lose its funding but, following a gap analysis carried out by the Government, it was decided to reestablish the funding provided by the Department of Social Services”, said Helen Blackmore-Lee, the Centre Coordinator. “With increased visibility made possible by the refurbishment in early 2015, recent promotions and expansion of services at the Snowy Mountains Neighbourhood Centre, it has increased visitors through the door by 46% in just one year”, commented Mrs Blackmore-Lee. The Snowy Mountains Neighbourhood Centre is a community-based organisation that aims to ‘fill the gaps’ experienced by residents and visitors to the region. The centre runs education programs and workshops, offers outreach services and support for people challenged by lack of personal or public transport, provides meeting space to groups and visiting support services, affordable office services and free wifi, a small library selection,

membership and online resources provided by Monaro Regional Library and Welcome Kits for new residents to the communities of the region. The Centre is constantly evaluating the needs of the neighbourhood and finding ways to deliver programs and services to benefit the communities of the area. The Centre is able to do this with the generous help of the many volunteers who pool their skills to make it a welcoming, caring and resourceful space for all who walk through the door. The Coordinator said, “We are now opening an extra day per week mainly due to the kindness and availability of the wonderful volunteers who work here. Although the space is utilised on most days of the week by groups and outreach services, we feel it is very important to make the Centre accessible to as many members of our communities as possible”. The Snowy Mountains Neighbourhood Centre will now be open every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 10am to 4pm. To keep up to date with progress at the Centre pop in or check out the Facebook page.

and the cause of the crash is being investigated.

The incident occurred in Wellington Street Bombala where two males were assaulted during a domestic violence related home invasion. One male sustained serious injuries to his head after being kicked several times by the offenders. The other victim was punched in the face causing minor bleeding.

Immunisation better Australia has recorded improvements in the percentages of children fully immunised in some local areas in 2014–15, but there are a number of areas where rates remain potentially too low to prevent the spread of diseases. The National Health Performance Authority has released a new report and accompanying data on child immunisation rates for 2013– 15 by local area, resulting in four years of local-level child immunisation data. Statistics show that the rates of children not being immunised are dropping with 29,717 children aged 1 year not fully immunised in 2013–14, compared to 26,671 in 2014–15. This is a positive move towards the national aspirational target for 95% of all children to be fully immunised, to ensure communities are protected against potentially dangerous illnesses such as measles and whooping cough. Immunisation helps protect individuals and the community generally against vaccinepreventable diseases such as measles, polio, tetanus and whooping cough (pertussis). To be considered fully immunised, children need to have completed the immunisations appropriate for their age as set out in the National Immunisation Program Schedule by the time they turn 1, 2 and 5 years of age. The results of the report indicate that 100% of one year

olds in Cooma were up to date with their vaccinations, however quarterly figures updated last December indicate this has dropped to 90%. The December figures also show that 100% of four year olds in Cooma were up to date with their immunisations. The Director of Public Health for the Murrumbidgee and Southern NSW Local Health Districts, Tracey Oakman, said these figures are a credit to local doctors and families and stressed it is important that people stay vigilant with their child’s vaccinations. “Obviousy people in the area are vaccinating their children which is fantastic. “It’s a credit to doctors and a credit to children’s families. “It shows parents are committed to getting their children vaccinated which is fantastic,” Ms Oakman said. Ms Oakman said that every new baby born is a new cohort of people that need to be kept up to date with vaccinations so it is important that people do not become complacent with the current figures, particularly due to the prevalence of whooping cough around at the moment. “Parents need to be vigilant and vaccinate them [children] on time to have the best protection we can,” she said. If a child is very sick they may not be able to be vaccinated but a cough or a cold is no reason to delay a vaccination.

Back to Cooma celebrations

Plans for the Back to Cooma Reunion at Easter are developing quickly, with more than 50 floats registered for the street parade on Easter Saturday. The parade co-ordinator, Chris Reeks, is looking for extra marshalls to assist on the day. These people will be required to be on the street to help keep spectators back from the floats as they travel along Sharp Street. It is expected the parade will take about an hour to travel from Baron Street to the top of Sharp Street. Anyone interested in assisting on the day is asked to contact the Back to Cooma Committee through the Cooma Visitors Centre. Booking for the two main events, the Night Club on Friday night and the gala dinner on Sunday night are growing quickly.

Bookings can be made online at backtocooma. com.au, or at Cooma Visitors centre. Activities in Centennial Park on Friday afternoon are also increasing and will include the launch of the new coffee table book, “Monaro in Pictures”. This high-quality publication will be available for sale over the weekend. However, anyone registering to attend the reunion, through backtocoom.com, will receive a free copy of the book in their registration pack. They will also receive a free copy of the 64-page commemorative book “Back to Cooma”. This book will also be available for sale over Easter.

as Cyclone Tracey, the Newcastle Earthquake and Cyclone Larry, as well as regional floods and fires, Lions have always been among the first on the ground. “From donating clothes, food and shelter to assisting with clean ups and rebuilding, Lions are always there to lend a helping hand. “Lions Australia have a proud history and therefore it is fitting to mark our international organisation’s centenary of service by doing what has made us great, helping others.” The Community 100 program is open for submissions from February 25 until June 30, 2016 and entrants are encouraged to apply online via (http:// www.homelife.com.au/lifestyle/thingswe-love/community100 ) The Lions Club of Cooma will then select three finalists, from which Lions Australia will nominate a winning project by mid-August 2016.

Regional Hall of Fame to be launched at ‘Back to Cooma’ event An initiative to celebrate the achievements and successes of the region will be launched at the ‘Back to Cooma’ Gala Celebrations Dinner to be held on Sunday March 27 at Cooma Showground’s Multifunction Centre. The ‘Back to Cooma’ Committee plans to create an annual awards program called Snowy Mountains-Monaro Hall of Fame. A number of individuals and entities would be inducted in an inaugural ceremony with plans for an annual event. Mayor of Cooma-Monaro Shire Council, Dean Lynch, says these awards are to highlight the successes and achievements of inductees, their role in bringing fame to the region and are a reflection of the community’s pride in their endeavours.

“There are many great success stories to come out of the Monaro and Snowy Mountains region. It is our objective to honour these achievements on an annual basis, starting at this year’s special ‘Back to Cooma’ event,” the Mayor said. “We have identified scores of potential inductees. However, at the ‘Back to Cooma’ Gala Dinner we will be announcing an inaugural seven inductees to the Snowy MountainsMonaro Hall of Fame,” said Councillor Lynch. Chair of the ‘Back to Cooma’ Committee and Deputy Mayor, Rogan Corbett says the Hall of Fame Awards will be an exciting part of Easter Sunday’s Gala Dinner. “Tickets are selling fast for the ‘Back to Cooma’ Gala Celebrations Dinner and I

urge people to get in early because we are limited on numbers. Announcement of the initial inductees to the inaugural Hall of Fame will be something not to be missed,” he said. The ‘Back to Cooma’ Celebrations will run over the Easter weekend from Friday 25 to Monday 28 March 2016. Highlights of the program include a Welcome Dinner and Concert with Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen in Centennial Park, Town Fun Run, Street Parade with over 50 floats, ‘Back to Cooma’ Dance, Night Rodeo and Breakfast, as well as the Gala Celebrations Dinner and Hall of Fame Awards.

East Jindabyne residents up in arms over development Residents of East Jindabyne are concerned about the threat of over-development in the small village. A current Development Application (DA) that has been submitted to the Snowy River Shire Council has requested a 20 lot subdivision at 62-68 Jerrara Drive. A second DA has requested the construction of a two storey house at 61-69 Jerrara Drive. Both applications to Council were received from the same developer, Australian Land Co Pty Ltd. Kristine Ciok is joined by many other residents of East Jindabyne in her concern of the effect these developments will have on the community. She believes should the DAs be approved, they will negatively impact surrounding homes and properties, the community, environment, infrastructure, roads and traffic, and the SRSC Local Environment Plan 2013. Upon further inspection, Ms Ciok found that the 2007 Development Plan (DP) subdivision for the 61-69 Jerrara Drive property has lapsed. The DP stipulated that should no substantial work have commenced within the five year period of approval from 31 May 2007, the DP would become invalid. Ms Ciok has made a submission to Council with her concerns of how these developments will impact East Jindabyne and is calling for a public meeting. “Tourists do not want to see a mass of roof tops as they enter the gateway of Jindabyne,” she says, “The view from the East Jindabyne

Petrol Station is one that tourists stop and take photos of, for tourists are mesmerised by the lake and perceived untouched surrounds. “The tourist attraction is the lake, the rural setting of open space and the ambience of it all. Rooftops as being proposed by the 20 lot subdivision will impact the view and I believe the tourist industry. “Urban sprawl should not occur as has happened in Sydney. Better planning of density is required within Jindabyne itself.” In her submission, Ms Ciok has requested that Council hold off their decision regarding these DAs until the amalgamation process is finalised. Annette Douch is another resident of East Jindabyne who is concerned about the developments. “I think unfortunately the developer is very focused on money and not on the community,” she says, “I am finding it quite scary how little power you can have when it comes to what happens in your community.” “There are already plenty of vacant blocks in East Jindabyne, I do not see a reason why we should roll out another 20 new ones. “And although the LEP allows for that density of residences, I don’t think it will be what people want.” Ms Douch has also made a submission to Council and says that it makes sense to wait for the amalgamation to go through before any decisions are made about big developments such as these.

had been amazing, especailly as they played in front of an audience of more than 30,000 people each evening, in the shadow of full-sized replica of Edinburgh castle. They played as part of the Australian Federal Police Pipes and Drums.

Country music is back in the Snowys! The Snowy Mountains Country Music Festival is back for 2016 with an amazing lineup of talent. The main stage concert on Saturday March 5 at Friday Flat features performances by headline acts Kip Moore and Kelsea Ballerini, as well as Daryl Braithwaite, Morgan Evans, Amber Lawrence, Adam Eckersley Band, Deep Creek Road, The Weeping Willows and Little Georgia. Kip Moore is currently riding high with his brand new album “Wild Ones that recently debuted at number two on the US Country Albums Chart and number four on the Billboard Top 200. Huffington Post hailed it as “one heck of an album… set to produce hit after hit after hit while The Guardian described it as “an impressively singular release from Music Row..unlike anything else in country music at the moment. Well-known for his blistering live shows Moore is currently touring the US where the list of advance sell-outs is stacking up including dates in Boston, Toronto and a two night run in Chicago. Kelsea Ballerini’s “Love Me Like You Mean It” debuted at number one on the Billboard Country Charts, making her the first female country artist to score a number one hit with her debut single since Carrie Underwood

in 2006, and only the eleventh in history to achieve the feat. Touted by many as “the new Taylor Swift her follow up single, ‘Dibs’ quickly became the #1 most added song on US Country radio upon its release. Recently announced as finalist for Favourite Female Country Artist at the American Music Awards and Female Vocalist and New Talent of The Year for The 49th Annual CMA Awards Ballerini is currently headlining CMT’s inaugural Next Women of Country Tour throughout the USA. Daryl Braithwaite is one of the quintessential voices of Australian music whose glittering 40 year career has provided us with a slew of memorable hit singles and timeless gems. A consummate performer, Braithwaite continues to sell out shows around the country thanks to songs such as “One Summer”, “As The Days Go By” and “The Horses” plus charting topping hits from his days fronting Sherbet, such as “Summer Love” and “Howzat” that have become bonafide Aussie classics.

Pictured, music legend Daryl Braithwaite will appear at this weekend’s Country Music Festival at Thredbo.

School based traineeships Rowena farewells Cooma Contact after 17 years

Celina with her support network going into her nursing traineeship at Sir William Hudson. Pictured, Varelle Carlson, Glenn Tatton, Celina Burt, Jackie Fenton, Donna Burt and Bruce Munro. Sixteen year old Monaro High School Student, Celina Burt, last week started her career in nursing as she was officially signed up for a School Based Traineeship in Aged Care with Sir William Hudson Memorial Centre. “I love working here,” Miss Burt said as she sat with resident Jill Stimson. “I am so happy to be working in this industry and beginning my training for nursing while I am still at school”. Having already been working at the Centre since December, Celina is ahead in terms of her practical hours required under the school-based apprenticeship. Celina will do her theory for the traineeship at Cooma TAFE whilst still completing her Higher School Certificate at Monaro High. This year sees a record number of School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SBATs) undertaken at Monaro High School. Careers Advisor, Mr Brad McElroy explained that the increase is part of Monaro High School’s support of all pathways into the workplace or further learning. “We have implemented a number of programs to make the pattern of study for Year 11 and 12 relevant for each student. For those looking to enter the workforce or gain a trade, workplace learning can start while they are still at school,” he said. Students doing a SBAT as part of their senior study usually spend one day a week in paid work, one day at TAFE and three days at school. The SBATs currently being completed at Monaro High School include Automotive, Rural Operations, Aged Care, Construction, Audio-Visual Technician, Commercial

Cookery and Warehouse Operations. Principal of the Monaro High School, Mr Adrian Bell, explained that the school has lead the way in adapting their senior programs to cater for the change in the school leaving age from 15 to 17 years. “Data shows that students have better outcomes if they complete their High School Certificate. Monaro High School has implemented changes that make the senior years relevant for each student. Offering courses such as Work Studies and encouraging SBATs means students will stay at school and complete their HSC because it is meaningful for them.” In 2014 Monaro High School initiated the Transition to Work (T2W) program that builds workplace learning into the curriculum. Two years on and this program is having a direct impact on the number of SBATs studied at the school, rising from just three in 2013 to ten this year. “From as early as Year 9, selected students can be offered a place in the T2W class. Each student’s Personalised Learning Plan (PLP) incorporates the career goals of the student and teachers help match these to relevant employers,” Mr Bell explained. Other businesses that have partnered with the school include Reece Plumbing, Mack’s Auto, Cooma Catering and The Lott as well as several family run businesses, including farmers. If any employer is interested in finding out more about School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships they can contact Monaro High School’s SBAT coordinator, Jackie Fenton on 6452 4611.

After 17 years, Rowena Evans is leaving the Cooma Community Contact Centre. Starting out as an arts tutor when the Centre was just a community college, Rowena worked her way up to a Program Assistant at the Centre, now based in the Werri Nina building in Sharp Street. Centre Coordinator Sue Gorringe-Lupton says that Rowena will be missed terribly by everyone at the Centre. “She is a lovely person,” says Sue, “She is so multitalented. She’s a fantastic musician, a wonderful artist and she is a bit quirky, which I think you have to be in this sort of business.” Sue also said that Rowena has been the main push behind all of the art exhibitions the Contact Centre has been a part of, including the one that recently showed at the Raglan Gallery on Lambie Street. Rowena ran a well-received art and craft session on Wednesday afternoons at

the Centre. Having studied a Bachelor of Arts at university straight out of school, Rowena has always had a passion for painting and art in general. “We would do some planned projects such as paper lanterns, sewing and knitting, making puppets and sculptures, but they also had the freedom to create whatever they wanted,” she says. Rowena would also run a music afternoon at the Centre. She plays the piano, the French horn and the recorder. Having thoroughly enjoyed her time at the Community Contact Centre, Rowena says she is sad to go but feels it is time for a change. “I really loved meeting so many different people, and such a variety of people,” she says, “I liked all the different things we did and it was a great way to connect people with their community.” Although she has already left the Centre, Rowena is not slowing down. Just having a book called Drums and Power Lines published, she is planning on pursuing her writing. “I have always loved reading, and it’s only for

How the locals like it

the past 12 years I have been writing seriously,” says Rowena, “I really love it because there is so much learning and practise that goes into it. You might write something you think is wonderful and 10 years later realise it is rubbish. Or sometimes even 10 minutes is all it takes.” Drums and Power Lines is the result of about seven years of work for Rowena, and is set in a town very much like Cooma. It is Rowena’s second published novel. Seal Skin Coast was published 18 months ago and is an illustrated fantasy story about a boy who can transform into a seal. “I love stories, which is another reason why I enjoyed working at the Centre all those years. Everyone you meet has an interesting story behind them.” Rowena is continuing to send her other manuscripts to publishers and is also keeping herself busy with her art, currently turning her focus to prints.

Rowena Evans’ passion for art will be missed at the Community Contact Centre.

The success of SMGS is underpinned by our fantastic school community.

The annual SMGS Cross-Country carnival was held on the 19th of February 2016 at our new location, The Station Resort. It was a fantastic warm day with many students challenging themselves to achieve personal goals. It was great to see the enthusiasm shown by the students as they cheered for their houses and their peers. All students are to be congratulated on their efforts and a special mention to Mowamba House for taking out the Cross-Country House Championship. On the day, the K-2 kids ran 800m,

On February the 11th the community was invited to a Public Inquiry in relation to the proposed merger of the Bombala Council. The inquiry was set up to acquire information regarding the position of the Bombala Community on the pending amalgamation. The Bombala Chamber was represented by President Paul Perkins. Paul expressed the views and concerns of the Chamber these included lack of information on what the proposed amalgamation will mean for the Bombala region and suggested that the community have the opportunity to vote. The Chamber believes we should have adequate information to make an informed decision on whether the community merges with Cooma/Snowy Council or the Bega Valley Shire Council. The Bombala Chamber has had a break through with our RV friendly project. This will be a great tourism opportunity for our community. Bombala will now be listed as a RV friendly town which will attract a lot more people to stay in the area. Bombala Chamber worked side by side with the Bombala

Council to achieve this outcome. We would like to make a special mention to our committee member Elsie Wertenbach who was at the forefront of the project. There are number of FREE BUSINESS WORKSHOPS that have been organised by the Australian Retail association and the Bombala Council. The first workshop is “A guide to retail marketing and customer Loyalty�. This will be held at the Bombala Community Centre on Monday March 7th 5.30 – 8.30pm.

Conquer Kosi to show care for rare cancer Rare Cancers Australia (RCA) is expecting more than 150 people to join the organisation in its 2016 Mount Kosciuszko Challenge, including many from Government, business and industry as well as rare cancer patients, their family and friends. This year’s event is the fourth climb, which sees Rare Cancers Australia supporters climb the mountain’s 2,228 metres to raise money to assist Australians with rare and less common cancers. The money raised will help fund research projects focussed on improving treatment options and better outcomes for the tens of thousands of Australians diagnosed each year. “We’re really delighted by the support that we’re receiving so far this year,� said Rare Cancers Australia CEO Richard Vines. “It’s great to see how far the walk itself has come since we started RCA; from Kate and I walking all the way, on our own, from Canberra to the top of Kosciuszko in 2013 to hundreds next month. When we first did the walk three years ago, we did it because we wanted to

demonstrate the challenge that rare cancer patients face and although we’ve made some progress on Merritts Nature Track, we haven’t made as much progress for improving the lives of rare cancer patients, yet.� Kate Vines, Founder and Head of Patient Care, herself a rare cancer survivor, said the climb to the top of the mountain is a challenging one for many people. “The mountain is the perfect metaphor for a person’s struggle with cancer. The road can seem never ending and difficult. But reaching the top is a moment of great personal achievement. It represents staying hopeful for the future and enjoying life’s special moments. “The summit also represents our goal which is to disrupt cancer and seek new ways of improving the lives of people with rare and less common cancers. “There is still a long way to go, but we remain determined, “ said Mrs Vines. So far, this year’s event has raised over $20,000 with hopes to raise another $80,000.

As in previous years one part of the mountain bike section utilises the Mill Creek Trail from Tyrolean Village to the Jindabyne Dam wall and accordingly, the trail will be closed between 8am and 9.45am to those not participating in the event.

This project was supported by the Environmental trust as part of the NSW EPA’s Waste Less, Recycle more initiative, funded from the waste levy.

Marshalls will be stationed at the end of the trail between these times to ensure the safety of the public and participants. At the conclusion of leg at 9.45am the trail will be open to the public. Further information including event details can be found on the Sri Chinmoy website au.srichinmoyraces.org.

NOTIFICATION TO RESIDENTS LIVING IN BERRIDALE Several sewer manholes located in the Berridale have been identified for raising to minimise stormwater ingress into the Sewerage System. Excessive ingress of stormwater into the sewerage system results in unnecessary treatment costs for the Treatment Plant. Residents affected will be formally notified by Council.

Enquiries should be made directly to Council’s Sewer Supervisor on PH 0408 484 853

Stepping back to Victorian times with high tea in Bombala It is elegant, decadent and has been a popular social activity since Victorian times, and what better venue for the Bombala and District Ladies High Tea than the historic Burnima Homestead, with host Steve Rickett dressed in traditional top hat and tails. On Saturday afternoon 48 ladies from the Bombala district gathered for afternoon tea in the garden at the majestic Victorian homestead. The ladies were dressed to impress

in a beautiful array of day dresses, hats and fascinators, and they relaxed in the sun filled afternoon enjoying each other’s company and an amazing spread of refreshments. High tea included a selection of sandwiches, scones, tea cakes and cheese platters, followed by punch, tea, coffee and a glass of wine. A special thank you to Steve Rickett, his parents and Pia Jackson, without their assistance and support this event would not have been possible.

Ron Dowd returns for his curtain call Elle Mackintosh The prodigal son has returned to the Cooma Little Theatre for the play that will celebrate the stage’s 60th anniversary. Looking a little different to when he was last here, Ron Dowd has taken up his old directors chair in the newly refurbished Cooma Little Theatre. The play is Return to the Forbidden Planet and what Ron says is often described as Shakespeare’s forgotten rock n roll masterpiece. It is a musical, based on Shakespeare’s The Tempest in Shakespearean dialogue. Born in Cooma, Ron attended Monaro High School and first became involved in the Cooma Little Theatre in 1978 when he joined the cast of Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible. “I was studying The Crucible at school and thought what better way to learn about it than to be in it,� he says, “So I did it and I enjoyed it and went on from there.�

Ron first lent his hand to directing a down town pub revue, which was put on every two years. His first was called ‘A Little Bit of Cock and Bull’. “It was a series of sketches about six people that come in from a property to watch a down town pub show,� he says, “They always did extremely well, although we had to deal with a new publican almost every time and they were always a bit sceptical to begin with. However once they saw the profit made from the night, they would quickly be asking when the next one would be.� Ron’s last production to be held in the Cooma Little Theatre was ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ in 1999. He now lives and works in Canberra. During his 21 years at the Little Theatre, Ron says he learned a great deal. “Working in a smaller theatre and with a smaller team means that you get to learn about all aspects of putting on a show,� he says, “From backstage to

technical and to acting, you get to experience all of it. Whereas in Canberra I am finding that actors only act, they do not have an understanding of how everything else works.� “The other thing I have realised is how lucky this community is to have its own theatre. With the bigger theatres in Canberra you really only have access to them a week prior to opening. We are rehearsing in any other little halls we can find and building the sets in our garages, hoping we’ve got the measurements for the stage right. You also don’t get to meet with the band until about two weeks before opening. Having the Little Theatre here means you can rehearse on the stage whenever you like. It is much more relaxed.� Ron says the best play he worked on at the Cooma Little Theatre was the comedic play ‘Gasping’ by Ben Elton. “It is a really really, funny

play,� says Ron, “But it also has a really interesting environmental message, which would probably be quite relevant now.� “At the time I just had the perfect cast for it. Quite often when a play is done you say to yourself, ‘Thank God that’s over’, but this one made me see how

people can do a play for a year in places like the West End. It was so much fun I wanted it to keep going.� Very happy to be back, Ron says he is also looking forward to going along to some of the Back to Cooma celebrations on the Easter weekend.

Travel Tips- Las Vegas!

Las Vegas! Everything is big there, the lights, the shows, the hotels and the casinos. It sucks you in and you lose all sense of time. Everything is available 24hours a day in this oasis in the desert. It is beautiful and wonderful, tacky and seedy, luxurious and over the top. It is full of stereo types, the one place where I saw the clichĂŠ American tourist, shorts, sandals, big camera and a bum bag! Here are some tips and places to visit, including a list of free things to do! /RRN DW PLG UDQJH KRWHOV- You can stay in Vegas for almost nothing in the budget hotels, but keep an eye out for the nicer mid range hotels on the strip (if that is the experience you are after) They are much cheaper then a nice hotel here in Australia and you can end up with something stunning. I stayed at Planet Hollywood in a double double room (there were 3 of us) that was Dirty Dancing themed, had a strip view and a huge, beautiful bathroom. We paid about $150 a night between us. That was less then the local backpackers! Another option is Harrahs, the rooms are basic but large and the price is easily accessible. %XGJHW WKH JDPEOLQJ- American

money seems like play money sometimes and all the notes look the same! Set a gambling limit for each day, even if you don’t usually gamble, and don’t go over it. Almost every hotel, restaurant, attraction, show or bar is accessed through the casino floor. You will be tempted and you will have a flutter. Don’t spend more then you can afford in the hopes to win money. Only play what you are willing to lose! &DUU\ ,' DW DOO WLPHV- You will be carded at every establishment. The general rule for most hotels is to card anyone who looks under 40 as they have very strict laws and regulations. My latest trip I was in my late 20’s and still got carded at almost every bar and gaming table. You will be asked to leave the gaming floor or bar if you cannot produce Id. 6HH D VKRZ- the shows are amazing! See a magic act ( I recommend Penn & Teller at the Rio) or a Cirque Du Soleil (there are 6+ different ones to see in Vegas) or some showgirls. Look for deals, however keep to reputable websites as there are scams out there. Or better yet, ask your travel agent. Otherwise your concierge at the hotel can usually get you a very good price. Don’t forget to tip your concierge! 'RQ¡W PLVV )UHPRQW 6WUHHW- This is away from the strip, and it’s the Vegas that you would remember from films such as National Lampoons Vacation. Neon lights, Dime machines, $1.99 Prawn cocktails and celebrity impersonators. It has been updated with a ‘roof’ over the

street made of Led screens that play everything from light shows to advertisements. There is loud music, bright lights and a zipline right down the middle! Remember that the impersonators expect payment for the privilege of a photo. &KHFN RXW WKH IUHH WKLQJV - Bellagio fountain, the thunderstorm that happens in the mall every hour, the volcano at the Mirage, and the light show in Fremont street. There is often free live music and little shows and things to watch, anything to draw you into that bar or casino and keep you there. 5LGH WKH +LJK 5ROOHU- This is the tallest observation wheel in the world and gives a wonderful view of the whole of Vegas. The ride takes about 30 minutes, see if you can time it with the show at the Bellagio fountain! 9LVLW WKH 1HRQ 0XVHXP- This is where all of the neon lights from days gone by, from casinos, bars and stores, get a second lease on life. They are viewed by tour only, each tour takes about 1 hour and costs $18USD/Adult. Book a couple days in advance, as they do sell out. The tour is brilliant and gives good insight on the history of Vegas, from the first gambling halls, to the rat pack era to the modern day. *R WR D WKHPHG EDU RU UHVWDXUDQWVegas is full of 50’s diners, western and honky tonk bars (try Gilley’s at Treasure Island, they have western saddles as bar stools) or for family fun, try the Rainforest CafÊ at the Mirage. +DYH IXQ - embrace the bright lights and tackiness of Vegas and live the high life on a budget!

POST & RAIL

Wednesday March 2, 2016

the

postman calls

The Postman often receives interesting emails from overseas, asking for assistance in relocating vast amounts of money from some nefarious scam. It was interesting then, to see comedian Adam Hills reading out an email asking for assistance to rescue the first Nigerian astronaut in space, who had been stranded on Solyut 6 for 14 years. The gist was, the scammers needed US$3m to pay the Soviets to pick him up and bring him back home. There was no indication of how many people may have fallen for this scam, but apparently in only 12 months, Nigerian scams had raised $12.7 million for the scammers. Seriously – how can anyone really believe these yarns and part with their hardearned cash? How can anyone be so gullible – or are they just greedy? This weekend gives us a double-header when it comes to our local ag shows, with Delegate and then Dalgety Shows on Saturday and Sunday. From information received, it seems both shows are going to be little rippers see you all there for some good oldfashioned country fun!

Riposte Lisa Ashurst Driving on the roads can give you the odd jolt even at the best of times. Like things appearing in front of you when you least expect it, other drivers doing dangerously stupid things that also endangers you or a big heavy vehicle riding your rear bumper because you are doing the speed limit but the big guy on your tail wants you to go faster anyway. Or he’s going to put pedal to the metal and go right over the top of you. All of these things are almost certain to set your heart racing but I think a set of flashing blue and red lights coming up fast in your rear vision mirror has a pretty good chance of stopping your heart altogether! All sorts of thing go through your mind when that happens and I can attest to this, having experienced the flashing lights thingy on the highway early last week. I had moved into the overtaking lane to pass a caravan when the flashies came bearing down on me. It was when I’d passed the other guy and moved back into left lane that I realised the Highway Patrol actually wanted me to pull over and that prompted the mental checklist. Had I hit something, maiming or killing it? No, the driver towing the caravan was still there and looked just fine. Did I indicate when I pulled into the overtaking lane? Yes. Was I speeding? Well admittedly I sped past the caravaner doing 80 but it was a 100 zone so that couldn’t be

it. Had I gestured as I passed him? No. So what the hey??! My car is not out of registration and my licence is current and untarnished. Maybe I had done the middle digit thingy after all… Oh surely not! But if I had, does that constitute road rage or something? Is that a ticket-earning offence? What the dickens had I done??? Well, none of the above as it turned out. I wasn’t even in trouble! The Highway Patrol Officer had merely pulled me over to conduct a random drug and alcohol test. That’s right, but this must be the New Random because I’m used to being signalled into a temporary roadside RBT setup, not being pulled over by a lone highway guy doing the flashies at me! But as I had not been drinking nor been high as a kite on any illicit substances during the previous 24 hours I had nothing to worry about. So it was all cool and he bade me “Have a nice day!” and to “Drive safely” as he waved me off. Well, it wasn’t off to the best of starts after an experience like that and won’t be for any others that get chased down like that for the randomest of random alcohol and drug testing either! And what made him want to target me anyway…? Maybe it was the rainbow-hued (with little white heart, flower and peace sign dotting the “i”s) Hippie Sticks sticker on my rear bumper that got his attention. Yeah…that could have been it…

Hogs for Homeless

á , 1 ' ( 3 ( 1 ' ( 1 7 á / 2 & $ / á 5 ( / ( 9$ 1 7 á

On Friday, 19th February, a number of very loud and very beautiful Harley-Davidsons rolled into town, ridden by NRL legends such as Brad Fittler, Josh Perry, Ian Schubert, ‘Blocker’ Roach and Steve Menzies, supporting the Hogs 4 Homeless campaign. In 2012, rugby league legend and NSW Blues warrior Brad ‘Freddy’ Fittler said that as a father it made him feel sick that there were nearly 47,000 homeless young people under the age of 25 in Australia. This prompted Freddy to contact Father Chris Riley and his Youth off the Streets team with the idea of creating a fundraising event to help a worthwhile cause. Freddy

enlisted the help of some of his mate’s fellow rugby league legends Ian Schubert and Nathan Hindmarsh to ride their Harley Davidson motorcycles throughout NSW to raise awareness and funds for the homeless youth of Australia. With the support of Harley Davidson and the NSWRL they showed their true blue spirit and created Hogs 4 Homeless. This is their fourth tour of NSW and their first visit to the Bombala area. It was great to have this group of footballers in town supporting a very worthwhile cause. It was also great to have the entire Bombala School Community

(Bombala High School, Bombala Public and St Joey’s) in the multi-purpose hall to hear their message and to get some details on these wonderful footballers’ careers.

On Wednesday the 17th of February eight students from Bombala High School travelled to Narooma for the Zone Swimming Competition. The superstar squad consisted of Larissa Ponsford and Dakota Miles from Year 7, Lane Stevenson, Dale Sheehan and Simon Till from Year 8, Zac McGowan and Dylan Elton from Year 10 and Alex Rosten from Year 12. Dakota Miles was the first Bombala student to swim on the day in the 100 metres backstroke and did a fantastic job to make it that far. Dale Sheehan also tried his luck in the 100 metres backstroke and was good enough to make it through to the next level of competition with a third place finish. The next event was the ever popular 50 metre freestyle and all representatives from Bombala High School participated in this event. For most of our team it was their first race of the day and every competitor swam very well and in some cases were leading until the dreaded 33 metre mark where some of our swimmers were searching for the wall. The young guns of Larissa Ponsford, Dakota Miles, Lane Stevenson, Simon Till and Dale Sheehan tried very hard all day and finished with some heat wins and places and some very respectable times. The older brigade of Dylan Elton, Zac McGowan and Alex Rosten didn’t have as many races but raced

extremely well and provided good support to the rookies. Simon Till was a fan favourite and was cheered home by the boisterous crowd in the last event for Bombala High School. A big thank you to all the students who participated in the day, Mrs Sullivan for organising the event, Scott Challman for coaching the students, Peter Braden for driving the bus, and our cheer squad of Dawn Worley and Tina Usher.

Ray Coles Retrospective Become a mentor, help the young A special exhibition and sale of original paintings, limited edition prints, drawings and works on paper by the Late Raymond Coles will commence on Saturday March 5 at the Raglan Gallery in Cooma. The works were in Coles’ private collection and held until now by his widow. The exhibition will be the last opportunity to purchase work by this artist whose work is represented in state gallery collections in NSW, Tasmania and Western Australia, as well as many private collections. During the 1950s and 1960s, his work was exhibited at the Macquarie Gallery, the leading contemporary art gallery in Sydney. Raymond Coles studied at the National Art School (East Sydney) from 1947 until 1952 alongside other acclaimed contemporary artists, including Tony Tuckson, John Coburn, Stan de Teliga, Guy Warren and John Molvig. Coles chose to study art after he returned from war service. After graduating, he took up a position with the Arts Council, travelling to regional areas lecturing high school students and adults. In the 1970s he taught at Cooma TAFE and also gave private tuition to artists who retain fond memories of the knowledge and skills he shared so willingly. Although focused on his own development as an artist, Coles cited Ian Fairweather as influential on his approach to drawing. Paul Beadle, later commissioned

to create the American War memorial sculpture in Canberra, was one of his drawing teachers. Coles also acknowledged the influence of one of his art teachers, Godfrey Miller, who had studied architecture before the war. “His (Miller’s) was a precisely organised art form with adjusted chromatic schemes. The geometry and sense of design reflected his architectural background.” The highly disciplined skills of drawing are evident in much of Coles’ work. “A lot of my paintings are actually drawings,” he said. He often drew inspiration from music and literature, especially the writings of James Joyce and Samuel Beckett. He saw the process of making art as “an exercise of your capacity to view, absorb and assess – much the same process as literature”. Although not preoccupied with landscape Coles drew on observations of Blue Lake and Hedley Tarn, on the bush and plant life of the Snowy Mountains where he had settled in the 1960s. In later years he found a change of focus, working in his new studio in his Snowy Mountains home. He became preoccupied with paint, almost to the exclusion of subject matter. The latest works became ‘more a lyricism of paint’. The exhibition will be opened at 3pm by renowned photographer and head of the ANU art department, Dr Denise Ferris.

Would you like to be a Mentor and make a difference in your community? The Youth Frontiers Mentoring Program is an initiative of the NSW State Government for young people to be involved with their community. The Southern Region Business Enterprise Centre is delivering this program across the Monaro electorate; students are linked with a screened and trained adult mentor who helps them to build life skills and self-confidence while working collaboratively on a community project. Executive Officer of the Southern Region BEC, Graham Baxter, said, “The program recognises the contribution that young people make to their local communities and provides them with the knowledge and skills to link them with further training and employment opportunities, or to improve their educational outcomes”. “Last year the Youth Frontiers program was very successful in Cooma. A number of young people participated in the program with the valuable guidance and support of local community members as their mentors.” We would like to congratulate the following students and mentors: Kurt Wassink, from Snowy Mountains Christian School, with his mentor Tony

A special mention goes to Kurt Wassink, who was recognised for his community project at the Youth Frontiers State awards, winning the State award in the General category. The Southern Region Business Enterprise Centre is currently seeking community based mentors to support the young people who will be involved in the program this year. Mentors will be trained and provided with ongoing support. Particular focus will be on the mentor working with the young person around the development, implementation and completion of their civic project. A training session for new mentors will be held in Cooma on Monday March 14, 6pm at Roses Lebanese Restaurant.

Delegate Show 2016 S AT U R D AY 5 t h m a r c h

High expectations... What a brilliant season we have had - and therefore what a brilliant Delegate Show we will have! The 108th Delegate Show is coming up this Saturday, offering the community a feast of exhibitions and attractions that will encompass our favourite traditions and some fresh new ideas. There are hundreds of categories for competitors, and so much entertainment that showgoers of all ages will be at the ground until well into the night. Here’s a little taste of what we can look forward to... With the Delegate community having been all about big events lately, great anticipation has built for the 108th Annual Delegate Show this Saturday! Once again all of the cheerful entertainment of the Delegate Show will be on offer, with a bounty of local produce, livestock and artwork being on display amongst various other attractions. The Show will commence with a wonderful breakfast being shared between the early starters, with both the ring events and the ever-popular dog trials getting the day’s official program underway. Of course the horse events will be a highlight of the Delegate Show once again this year, and riders throughout the entire region are excited to get into the local ring. But the big addition in the horses this year, will in fact be a mini one, with a Mini Six Bar adding interest to the already jam packed line up of events. While everyone is encouraged to support the horse events and dog trials, however, there’ll be lots more to see around the ground, with showgoers encouraged to cast their eyes over the many sheep and cattle being exhibited.

Once again we are set to see plenty of special breeds being judged and fleeces evaluated, while there’s lots of novelty activities to enjoy whether you’re competing or looking on. Of course the children are always delighted to browse around the animals, but don’t forget that attractions such as the jumping castle and the Barnyard Nursery will also be parent savers. And with Crocodile Encounters on hand, we’ll all be lining up to see our scaly friends hit the Show! Due to popular demand after previous year’s success, the children will also have the chance to decorate a sheep, while every youngster can look forward to a brand new puppet show presented to the Delegate crowd for the first time by puppeteer, Chris Gaskin. As he delights the crowd with his characters, there’ll also be the Billy Boiling Competition and Basketball Shoot-Out to get stuck into, and everyone loves to have their shot in the Guess the Weight of the Bull contest that will return this year.

Delegate Show 2016 Great fun time at night time Just because afternoon has come on show day it certainly doesn’t mean that all of the fun of the 108th Delegate Show is going to end, with the event known for its cheerful social evening. Anyone who has hung around for the tail end of previous shows will certainly remember just how great the evening was, with bar facilities, a barbecue and some novelty events being par for the course. The fun kicks off at around 4.30pm, with the kids getting stuck into some high spirited games that not only keep them anything goes in these late arvo novelty yourself a steak sandwich, fill your entertained, but also the crowd. events! stubby holder and kick on into nightfall!

The Delegate P&A Society is very excited to be offering showgoers a brand new attraction to this year’s line up, with word having already spread that Crocodile Encounters will be adding some bite to the Show! Crocodile Encounters is considered “the reptile show with a difference�, providing a fun, safe, yet education experience of the highest quality. Presenter, Mark Richmond, is a recognised expert on Australian reptiles, having been a senior keeper at some of the best reptile organisations in the country. “Snake and reptile shows have been a regular feature on the Agricultural Show circuit ever since their inception in the late 1800s,� Mark explains. “Crocodile Encounters brings the travelling reptile show into the 21st Century with a fun, entertaining, hands on experience suitable for young and old alike.� The Delegate Show crowd is promised

What’s on display in the pavilion? Rain! We’ve had actual rain this season, so hopes are heigh for some pretty exciting exhibits in the Vegetable and Flower sections of the Pavilion in particular. And with 2016 being the very first year that the Pavilion boasts a $100 prize for the Most Successful Exhibitor, that’s great news indeed! Anyone can find a category in which to exhibit an item, and everyone from amateurs to professionals are encouraged to have a go and showcase some of their special talents. Artistic endeavours A TRUE brow-raising feature within the pavilion, the Art section has once again seen the Delegate school children busily creating masterpieces for the junior category, both in the classroom and at home. Alongside their adorable efforts, showgoers will also find everything from oil, acrylic and watercolour paintings, and let’s not forget those computer generated images. A huge range of prizes are on offer to encourage budding artists to make their debut, so why not enter your sculpture, drawing or collage for everyone to admire.

Heaps of Handicrafts EASILY one of the most diverse areas in the pavilion, the Handicraft section displays everything from wood, metal and leather works to the youngsters’ favourite - Lego! In fact there are categories for any medium at all, including screen printing, kite making and homemade puppets, and this year a little extra prize money has been offered for categories such as felting. Other newish favourites like glass painting, scrapbooking and mosaics will also be back on deck for the littlies as well as the adults, so start creating now and make sure you come and enjoy the display as well. Mouthwatering items NOTHING gets the taste buds watering quite like the Foods section, and with everything from homemade cakes, biscuits and scones to meringues and pikelets being on display, why woul wo uldn dn’tt we we drool? dr l? wouldn’t Th his iiss a hi high ghly ly c on nte testted d category This highly contested

that brings out the true chefs of the area, and with the whole section having been revamped last year, everyone can don an apron and have a go. While all of the traditional favourites will be on show there are also prizes for unusual or new items, and there is a particular focus on all of those cooks

out there under 18, particularly since the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program has gotten underway at the school. Remember, it really pays to read your show schedule carefully to pick up a few rules you may not be aware of, as well as some presentation tips.

Delegate Show 2016 What’s on display in the pavilion? Continued from previous page

The stickiest entries ALMOST as colourful and textured as the floral display in the pavilion is the Condiments section, with everything from traditional jams, chutneys and pickles glistening from within their jars. Be it relish, jelly or your favourite sauce, everyone is encouraged to enter their own speciality, including those juniors who have never before shown off their preserving talents. Impressive produce WHEN it comes to the Fruit section, as well as the Vegetable and Dairy Products section you can always find a curious crowd, and once again we can expect to see a beautiful bounty of everything from giant pumpkins to rosey apples and creamy butter in the pavilion. Here eager growers show off their tomatoes, and proudly put their herbs on display, while everyone is encouraged to be brave and present a plate of their homegrown eggs to the judges. There is some stiff competition to contend with and some great prizes on offer, but don’t forget, the biggest glory of all is to exhibit the largest or most unusual vegetable, so get out there and start harvesting!

Floral fiesta WHAT would any small country show be without a glorious display of flowers crowning the pavilion? Easily as competitive as the Foods section and even the Vegetables, the Flower section is a feast for all of the senses. Here the giant dahlias amaze us, the roses delight us and the colourful annuals make us smile, with almost every plant you can think of set to be represented, including pot plants and drought tolerant succulents. Whether you plan to bring a single stem or a stunning arrangement of blooms, this is one section that can’t be missed by any age group or skill level, and floral art lovers will be delighted with this year’s exhibits. Show time is sew time WHEN show-goers make their way to the Needlework section they will certainly find that it’s time to get out the glasses and admire some beautiful finer details. This is a class that just continues to grow over the years, with embroidery, crochet, knitting and sewing displays really wowing the crowds, and surprising many with their difficulty. Everything from handmade garments to wonderful tapestries, rich patchworks

Phabulous photography NO other category in the pavilion has undergone such huge improvements over the last couple of years, with generous sponsors giving extra sparkle to the everpopular Photography section. Again great prizes will be given for the Most Successful Exhibitors throughout the photography sections of both the Delegate and Bombala Shows, with some tough competition sure to be seen. Three separate age groups will be eligible to enter, so the Under 12s, 12 to 17yrs, and the 18yrs and overs need to start snapping off shots right now! There are categories for everything from seascapes to animal shots and computer enhanced images, so your imagination is the limit, and a brand new addition this year will even see selfies getting a run!

Horses and sheep and cattle and dogs... THE big, traditional favourites of the Delegate Show are of course the ring events and the exhibits - with the horses, the dog trials and livestock making the event a good old fashioned country show. Horses and hounds There’ll be lots of action for spectators to enjoy both within the horse events and the sheepdog tri-als, with many showgoers spending hours watching the hot competition unfold between local and visiting entrants. In particular, the six-bar jumps in the horse events are always popular, and a new mini six bar is sure to create even more interest.

Delegate Show 2016 Plenty of food and drink for all... THERE’S nothing quite like admiring the livestock or watching the Grand Parade with a hot dog in hand, a cooling drink in the other, and perhaps a sweet treat later on. Owf course you will find all of these and much more at the 108th Delegate Show. Getting off to an early start, the kiosk opens from 8.30am for those involved in events and exhibits, then going on to provide light refreshments such as soft drinks, egg and bacon rolls, sandwiches and chips throughout the day for showgoers who want to keep on the move. For those looking for something a little more classic at the show, why not pop into the dining room and enjoy a traditional morning or afternoon tea? Here you will find a luxurious spread of homemade treats to choose from, with the

quieter setting of the dining room being perfect for sharing a cuppa and a chat as you take a break from all of the action of the show. The room is sure to become more of a bustling centre as lunch time approaches, however, with many showgoers eager to enjoy a wonderful luncheon spread that has always been a feature of the day. Amongst a delicious selection of cold meats, showgoers will also be able to find fresh salads that have been prepared especially for the show, with many rushing to the dessert table to enjoy a sumptuous sweet to cap the luncheon off. With the kiosk happy to fill any gaps between afternoon tea and dinner, we then turn to everyone’s favourite, with 6.30pm seeing the

And what could go better with a sausage sandwich and the live music of the evening, than a cold beer? Yep!

Delegate Show 2016 Program WE all enjoy strolling around the various livestock displays and watching the events unfold throughout the day, but it’s wise to have a bit of an idea on when certain activities are taking place so you don’t miss out!

Feeling a bit sheepish at Delegate Show Our local agricultural shows are based very strongly on solid tradition, but there’s nothing to say that new attractions can’t become a part of the “folklore� of the show. And a prime example in Delegate just so happens to be the sheep decorating and racing novelty events. Yes, these two activities have become traditions of their own at the Delegate Show, and they are not only loved by the young who are actively involved, but also the accessories, and then have a go at young at heart who are watching on! racing their sheep against the other Here the kids get to ‘glam-up’ their brightly presented steeds. charges with plenty of colour and This has proven a huge laugh over

the last five years, and there’s great anticipation for more fun in the sheep pens and on the “race track� this Saturday.

Giving sponsors a big thank you Before you plunge into this Saturday’s fun, the Delegate P&A Society would like to take this opportunity to offer a few thank yous. While there are simply too many local sponsors of the Delegate Show to list them individually here, the P&A Society would like to extend its most sincere appreciation to all of those business houses, organisations,

families and individuals who give support. Without the sponsorship of these countless groups, the Delegate Show would simply not be able to offer the community the same wonderful day of attractions. And of course thanks also goes to those who prepare entries for the day – without them there would be no Show full-stop!

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

Located minutes away from Cooma’s cbd is this neat three bedroom home, that is located high on a hill with sweeping views over Cooma’s Rotary oval and back towards the CBD Features include;

Autumn is here! Here we are now into the next season, which means the year is slowly passing us by once more. Summer is officially over, and winter looms closer. So far this year, interest rates have remained stable, and while some Lenders increased their variable rates at the end of last year, there are some very low fixed rates available. There has been some reduction of fixed rates, and now could be the time to consider locking your loan in to take advantage. Fixed loans won’t suit everyone’s circumstance, but I can help you determine if it is the best course for you. Whether you want to review an existing loan, or looking at taking out a new loan, it can pay to look at the different options, and compare. I have access to the current rates & offers with many Lenders. With flexible appointment times, and with access to many different Lenders, I can take the hard work & stress out of the process for you. With a range of referral partners in place, I am also happy to be your first contact for other financial areas – i.e. business finance, or financial planning. Whatever your financial needs, I can point you in the right direction.

Sales growth slows to a more measured rate ¡ The January Commonwealth Bank Business Sales Indicator saw 0.3 per cent trend growth in economy-wide spending ¡ Spending is up 7.1 per cent on a year ago ¡ Retail sector slows but there was solid growth in the business and government sectors

On Monday, 22 February 2016: Economy-wide spending slowed in January after solid growth in 2015 according to the latest Commonwealth Bank Business Sales Indicator (BSI). Spending grew in trend terms by 0.3 per cent in January, after lifting by 0.4 per cent in December and 0.5 per cent in November. While this result remains in line with the decade average, monthly spending growth was well above average over most of 2015, particularly during the March-June period. Annual growth of spending also eased from 7.3 per cent to 7.1 per cent in January. However this result remains well above the decade-average of 4.8 per cent growth and has remained at healthy levels for the past ten months. The more volatile seasonally adjusted measure of the BSI rose by 0.6 per cent in January, after a 0.9 per cent gain in December, while annual seasonally adjusted growth lifted from 7.4 per cent to 7.6 per cent. Craig James, Chief Economist, CommSec, said that while growth may have slowed, businesses should not be too alarmed. “While spending growth has eased, it follows solid gains in 2015 and the result still remains in line with the decade average. “Although businesses would have liked to see a more positive start to the year, particularly in the retail sector, consumer confidence remains high and interest rates remain at record lows. Additional data shows that business lending in 2015 was not far off the record highs set during the mining boom,

showing that businesses remain optimistic,� Mr James said. Industry analysis The retail sector saw a slowdown in spending growth, growing by just 0.1 per cent - the slowest growth in 28 months. The 0.2 per cent fall in sales at clothing stores was the biggest in 17 months. Of the sectors experiencing gains, notable was Government Services, up 3.1 per cent, the fifth consecutive month of growth. Business Services rose by 1.5 per cent in January, the 11th straight gain. At the other end of the scale, six of the 19 industry sectors fell in trend terms in January, including Airlines, Professional Services Membership Organisations, Clothing, Transportation, Contracted Services and Amusement & Entertainment. State-by-state analysis Sales rose in all but one of the states and territories in January, with the Northern Territory posting the strongest growth (up 1.5 per cent), followed by NSW (up 1.1 per cent), ACT (1.0 per cent), Victoria (up 0.9 per cent), Tasmania (up by 0.7 per cent), Western Australia (up 0.6 per cent) and Queensland (up 0.5 per cent). South Australia was the only state or territory to experience a small decline in sales, down 0.05 per cent. Every state and territory posted sales above a year ago. Strongest growth was in Tasmania (up 12.7 per cent) followed by ACT (up 11.1 per cent), Western Australia (up 10.3 per cent), Victoria (up 7.8 per cent), Queensland (up 7.6 per cent), NSW and South Australia (both up 6.7 per cent) and the Northern Territory (up 4.9 per cent). The BSI is a key measure of economy-wide spending, tracking the value of credit and debit card transactions processed through Commonwealth Bank point-of-sale terminals.

DalgetyShow 2016

S U N D AY 6 t h m a r c h Our Barry to open the show Local Order of Australia recipient Barry Aitchison has agreed to open the 72nd Dalgety Show as the town celebrates their newly refurbished bridge. The Dalgety Show Society is thrilled to have local OAM recipient Barry Aitchison officially open this year’s Dalgety Show on Sunday March 6, 2016. Barry received the prestigious award at this year’s Australia Day ceremonies for his commitment and service to the Monaro community over many years, mainly within the Rural Fire Service.

Along with Barry, the Dalgety Show Society would also like to recognise and honour Peter Ward who also received an OAM for his contribution to Cross Country with many years of service dedicated to a host of cross country ski clubs within the community. Unfortunately Peter will be unable to join us on show day. The Dalgety Show Society congratulates these two outstanding citizens and hopes the community will join in celebrating their achievements at the upcoming show on Sunday 6th March.

NSW will be chosen to participate in

On Sunday March 6 Dalgety will be celebrating the 72nd year of its Annual Dalgety Show. This year’s theme is “Bridges� as many would know the restoration of the 132 year old Dalgety Bridge is now complete and looks a treat. It is our privilege to have well known identity Barry Aitchison to open our show at 1pm. Barry now can add to his claim to fame being bestowed in this year’s Australia Day awards an Order of Australia OAM for services to the Rural Fire Brigade and his involvement in so many other community issues in the Monaro region. We had hoped he could have shared the podium with Peter Ward the other Snowy River Shire resident who this year was also awarded and OAM for his dedication to the sport of cross country skiing. Peter unfortunately had a previous overseas event scheduled so will not be able to join us. Both Barry and Peter are very worthy of this great honour working tirelessly and passionately in their areas making enormous contributions which have finally been recognised at the highest level. Hearty congratulations to both of them. We will be asking Barry to present a number of life memberships on well deserving members of the Dalgety Show Society. But you will have to join us on the day to find out who these special people are who have gone that extra mile for our show. The rains in the earlier in the season have helped many of the exhibits in the fruit, veg and flower sections. But we will have to see whether this hot spell might have taken its toll on some. But be sure there will be plenty to see in the pavilion. But of course with such a bumper season for stock there will be a great display from the Monaro breeders, whether it be beef, wool or sheep. The pavilion opens at 9am, but the horses and yard dogs will be well underway by that stage. As you make your way down to the sheep and the cattle don’t forget the chooks and the woodchop at 11am on the banks of the Snowy River. The novelty section this year is “Bunyips and other creatures that live under Dalgety Bridge� so we hope everyone’s imagination has run wild and can’t wait to see what appears. Hope it is not too scary. We are sure that this year will bring out such great talent as we have seen in previous year from throughout our community, both by individuals and the local schools alike. The Monaro’s best exhibition of quilts can be found across from the Showground in the Dalgety Memorial Hall along with all of the other beautiful handicraft entries of knitting, sewing and it goes on and on. Such amazing work it is well worth a look. We always try and keep things kid focused and kid friendly, with the Patting Paddock which is always a real hit, and Pete the Pirate was such a

success we’ve brought him back again. This year at 2pm we are trialling a Stockman’s Challenge it involves most skills such as side passing, jumping, whip cracking, reversing and much more. It was a hit for the Nimmitabel Show for both riders and spectators who just loved it. The plan is to have 15 spots for open entries and 10 Juniors email Joanne Miners on miners@skymesh.com.au or visit dalgetyshow.com.au for more information and entry forms. The Memorial Arthur Costello Tug O War event at 2.30pm with“total prize� money is over $600 for each event. These events will be run after the official opening at 1pm. So don’t be shy, show us your muscles and get your team together right now to have some fun and get some “cash to splash� care of the Dalgety Show. Of course the vintage cars, tractors and engines will be there for those of you that want to reminisce and go back to the good old days. The BBQ, bar and Kiosk will be open all day and remember there are great raffle prizes but you’ve got to be in it to win it so buy a ticket and don’t forget to fill in your free entry coupon which will give you the opportunity to win one of the excellent lucky gate prizes. On behalf of the committee I would like to extend to you a big Dalgety welcome and hope you have an enjoyable and memorable Dalgety Show on the banks of the Snowy River. We know we could do with some rain but keep your fingers crossed for a fine one on Sunday 6th March. Thanks to all the helpers who have done a great job making our showground something to show off. But a big thanks go to Wayne Crimmins and the Community Projects Team who have done so much of the work around the showground especially our new show ring fence with another vote of thanks going to GZ engineering who made and assisted Damien Doyle in its design and construction. We also have new loading ramps due the bridge work. With Alistair and Robert Rob from Proway working hammer and tong to make sure it was in place and yes they did. There is also additional thanks to Snowy River Shire who assisted in obtaining the grant for the new show ring and have made vast improvement in the kiosk and other areas around the show ground. Remember, you will never know, if you don’t go to the Dalgety Show and get a chance to share the love of a great show. New members always welcome. Trish Gerny President Dalgety Show Society Inc

The perfect spot - Australia’s original choice of capital city Over 100 years ago, in 1904, it was gazetted in Federal Parliament that the town of Dalgety would become the site for the Capital City of Australia. Dalgety was a popular choice at the time due to it being exactly halfway between Sydney and Melbourne and a suitable distance inland to avoid attack from the sea!! The senators came and “bathed in the riverâ€? and a decision was made in favour of the town. Extracts from a Sydney newspaper of the time say “Our representative, who has photographed every one of the sites, and who has been over practically every corner of the Commonwealth, is one of the enthusiasts with regard to Dalgety.â€? “Federal Parliament passed the “Seat of Governmentâ€? Act in 1904 declaring that the Capital should be within 17 miles of Dalgety. The N.S.W. Government, which alone had the constitutional authority to surrender lands for a National Capital, objected to the proposal on two grounds. Firstly it had not been consulted and secondly the Federal Parliament was seeking a site nine times larger than the minimum of 100 square miles specified in the Australian Constitution Act. On the 16th September 1908 (following lobbying from Sydney businesses who believed that Twofold Bay would become the port for the Capital and not Sydney) the Federal Parliament dropped its preference for Dalgety and voted for a site at Yass/ Canberra.â€?. For four years it was imagined that Dalgety would one day be a large cosmopolitan city - but that wasn’t to be. Today, Dalgety has changed little since that time over 100 years ago. Dalgety is a small town near the Snowy Mountains, 50 kms south of Cooma and 35 kms from Jindabyne. Although less than two hours drive from Canberra, Dalgety is still very much your typical Australian country town. There is a great pub, a twoteacher school, a quaint garage, a small cafĂŠ/ shop, a shady caravan park, a picturesque showground (the last two on the banks of the famous Snowy

River) and an enthusiastic country community. As in many small communities the local show is one of the highlights of the year. The Dalgety Show, held on the first Sunday in March, is no different. For over 60 years it has operated as the only agricultural show in the Snowy River Shire, a shire with a mixed interest of agriculture and tourism, and draws on people from a large geographical area. The first show in 1945 was officially held to raise money to build a Memorial Hall to honour soldiers fighting in the war. This show, described by one involved as “a pretty rough turnout� was followed by several shows that didn’t make any money and where no records were kept. However, the fact that the show has been successfully held every year since then is a tribute to the ingenuity and determination of the small community. There are the usual horses, cattle, sheep, poultry and wool sections and sections with flowers, vegetables, cakes, condiments, knitting, arts and crafts, home brew and many more. But Dalgety Show offers so much more. There are the yard dog trials, with a large line up of energetic and talented dogs; a comprehensive horse show with some fantastic show jumping and three hack rings; music and magic for the children and many displays by local businesses. Sporting teams from far and wide enter a team of eight into the Tug-of-War competition with worthy cash prizes on offer and a championship trophy. In the Memorial Hall (built with money raised from earlier Dalgety Shows) there is a large display of local art and a comprehensive display of quilts, both by some of Australia’s best-known quilters as well as local entries. Country shows, with the sounds and smells, the sideshows and sections, are a part of Australian history. And so is the town of Dalgety. Why not come and experience it!!!

DalgetyShow 2016

Celebrating the iconic Dalgety bridge at this year’s show There is much to celebrate this year with the recent completion of the improvement works to the Dalgety Bridge. Originally built in 1889, the bridge is a landmark feature of the town and a fine example of the engineering skills of JA McDonald. It is the only iron lattice bridge in the south-eastern part of the state and was integral in the pioneering of the district. The $4.5 million refurbishment of the bridge has ensured the bridge will continue to provide safe passage over the iconic Snowy River for many years to come. In keeping with the “Celebrating Our Bridge� theme, this year’s novelty event, “Bunyips and Other Creatures That Live Under Country Bridges�, is sure to light the imagination of many. The judges are excited to see what creatures appear on the day! Along with the novelty event, show goers will enjoy the extensive variety of pavilion exhibits that are a must view at any county show. These include condiments, art, photography, fruit and vegetables, baking, flowers and quilts just to name a few. Don’t miss the usual agricultural displays including cattle, poultry, wool, and sheep. There will be plenty of action to be seen throughout the day including the wood chop competition, sheep dog trials, horse events, Arthur Costello Tug-of-War and the all new Snowy River Tyrepower Stockman’s Challenge. The vintage cars are back again in 2016 for those car lovers out there, as well as heaps of interesting retail stalls and plenty of fun things to keep the kids busy. Pirate Pete and his pirate gang are back again this year providing special shows and general entertainment throughout the day. There’s plenty of show rides for the kids too and a petting pen with plenty of cute fluffy friends waiting for a cuddle. As usual, there are some exciting lucky gate prizes up for grabs including Monster Sports, Perisher Blue and Kids Hive vouchers. The Dalgety Show Society will also be running a raffle on show day giving participating show goers the chance to win a St George jumper. You’ll be able to grab a drink and a bite to eat from the BBQ, bar and kiosk, or sample the goods

on offer from the variety of food stalls available on show day. With so many exhibits, food and retail stores, events, and competitions, the 72nd Dalgety Show is sure to be a fantastic day out for the whole family. What’s new at the Dalgety Show this year? Making a debut in 2016 is the introduction of sporting events to the horse section of the Dalgety Show. Sporting events are a fun, addictive and often fast-paced event that are exciting to watch. The sporting events will allow both everyday and competitive riders from not only the local Dalgety and Snowy Mountains region, but also the entire South East NSW region to participate in the show. Entries are being accepted online at dalgetyshow.com.au. Finally, because Dalgety Show is always looking to bring something new to the show, this year it is the Snowy River Tyrepower Stockman’s Challenge, an event designed for the horse and rider to show their skills and control through a course set up in a time trial format. It involves most skills such as side passing, jumping, whip cracking, reversing and much more. Entries are now open and are limited to 15 open and 10 junior so get in quick if you’re interested! Email Joanne Miners on miners@ skymesh.com.au or visit dalgetyshow.com.au for more information and entry forms. The Dalgety Show Society hopes these new events will be supported and enjoyed by spectators and participants alike! Don’t forget to check your entry close off dates Please note the cut off date for exhibit entries as some categories require early close and drop of dates. In particular, entries in the junior section will close at 4pm on Friday 26th February and will be judged the following morning. The fine arts, 3D arts and crafts section, as well as the photography and condiments sections will also close to entrants on Friday 26th February with items required to be delivered to the pavilion between 10am and 12pm on Saturday 5th March. Judging for these sections will be in the afternoon and all results announced at the show.

Sailors complete a full five lap race Story by Tim Symons, photos by John Byrne Several members of Lake Jindabyne Sailing Club travelled to compete in regattas during February. Five Laser sailors competed in the Australian Laser Master Championships from 12th to 15th at Port Stephens. Four Laser sailors and a catamaran team competed at Twofold Bay Yacht Club’s annual regatta at Eden on 30th and 21st February. Barney and Thomas Davis sailed their Hobie 16 to a wellearned second place in the four race regatta. Jason Abbott placed third on yardstick corrected times in the off the beach monohull division. The Lake Jindabyne sailors rigged their boats on the evening of Wednesday 24th February in anticipation of a windy race. Barry Dennis manned the rescue boat and John Byrne manned the start boat. John started the five catamarans first into a 10 to 12 knot Westerly breeze. Most of the fleet

started on starboard tack near the start boat, while Barney and Thomas Davis started at the other end of the line on port tack. They cleverly crossed the other cats, reached the Bay mark first and the led the others towards the Mountain mark. Tim Symons followed, but was passed by Martin Bannister and Alistair Cross on the long windward leg. Tim and Randy Wieman rounded the mark together and set off after the others. The wind picked up to around 20 knots assisting Tim as he passed Alistair and Martin on the next two legs. The eleven mono-hulls started after the cats and also enjoyed plenty of fast rides around the course in the strong breeze. Several sailors had to recover from capsizes in the sudden gusts. The gusty breeze took its toll on the cats too as Martin B capsized, Alistair returned to the beach to avoid losing his mast and Andy and Jake Kennedy returned to the beach to repair a broken tiller. Tim kept chasing Barney, but couldn’t catch him, while Randy kept chasing Tim. Barney led the cats to the finish line after completing

a full five lap course. Tim, Randy and Martin B followed. Andy and Jake didn’t finish the course as the breeze started to die while they were on their last triangle lap. Tim took the handicap win followed by Barney, Randy and Martin. After completing the full five lap course, Phil Daley led the mono-hull fleet to the finish line followed by Sam Bishop, Jason Abbott, Martin Van Weel, Terry Lee, Kerry McGaw, Rob Matthews, Gote Vikstrom and Steve Osborne. Ross Lawley and Tom didn’t Terry Lee and Lucas Blackmore-Lee on their 470. complete the course. Martin VW took the handicap win from Jason, Phil, Windrush cat around the course. Kerry, Gote, Sam, Steve Rob and Terry. Lake Jindabyne Sailing Club will host the Lake Jindabyne got its revenge on the Snowy Mountains Regatta on Friday 4th to afternoon of Saturday 27th February when Sunday 6th March. Thirty to forty boats from eleven boats attempted to complete a race in Canberra Yacht Club and other clubs are next to no breeze. Martin Van Weel managed expected to make the trip to compete against to lead the fleet around the painfully slow the local Lake Jindabyne sailors. All are single triangle lap course and took a well- welcome to come down to the lake shore to deserved Yardstick win. Soon to be new enjoy the spectacle. members Bob and Kevin sailed the club’s

New era for local Gippsland planned burns land services Newly-appointed Chair of the Local Land Services Board of Chairs, Tim de Mestre has this week outlined his commitment to take the organisation to the next level by providing a high standard of quality, customer-focused services to ratepayers, investors, regions and communities. “As Chair, it is my role to steer Local Land Services with greater purpose to ensure the organisation thrives and has the structures in place to deliver the best, customer-focused services for ratepayers and investors,” Mr de Mestre said. “Local Land Services is a good model to deliver agricultural production advice, biosecurity, natural resource management and emergency management services and I have been enthused by meeting some of the dedicated staff doing so many great things across the state. “I am determined to capitalise on what we are doing right and remove the

barriers that are preventing us from doing things better to ensure Local Land Services continues to evolve as an agricultural service provider. “Over the coming weeks and months I will travel around NSW to meet with key industry groups, businesses and communities. Our customers are the best source of information about how the organisation is going and I look forward to their input. “I know the issues affecting land managers in the south of the state are different to those in the north and that’s why it is so important to ensure our regional Local Land Services are best placed to deliver those services.” Mr de Mestre brings his extensive knowledge of the agriculture sector; having previously held senior positions in corporate agribusinesses Paraway Pastoral, Twynam Agriculture and Clyde Agriculture, as well as operating his family farming enterprise.

The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) has started its planned burning program to reduce forest fuels, regenerate timber harvesting coupes and revitalise native plants and animal habitats. DELWP Regional Manager Fire and Land, Richard Teychenne said “Planned burning is a vital part of the work that DELWP Forest Fire Management and our partners, CFA, Parks Victoria, VicForests and Melbourne Water undertake throughout the year to reduce the amount of bushfire fuels in our forests and parks. “We understand it is concerning for people to see smoke soon after an active bushfire period and while areas of Victoria are still experiencing warm weather. “However, it is vital that we take every opportunity to complete these burns whenever conditions are suitable and it is safe to do so.” “We are working closely with local communities, utilising the latest science and information to more effectively target our

actions to reduce bushfire risk.” “We will be starting the program in the north-west of the region with some high elevation regeneration burns on behalf of VicForests to clean up after timber harvesting and create seedbeds for germination.” “We will be continuing with fuel reduction, regeneration and ecological burns in public parks and forests across Gippsland to reduce bushfire risk to our communities, property and the environment, and to promote and protect plants and animals that rely on fire for survival and growth.” Gippsland communities may see and smell smoke, and some roads and parks may have to be closed for

public safety while burns are being undertaken. For your health and safety, find out when planned burns are happening near you. Go to www.vic. gov.au/plannedburn, download the FireReady app or call the Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667. Callers who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a speech/ communication impairment can contact VBIL via the National Relay Service on 1800 555 677.

Animal breeding penalties review Minister for Primary Industries Niall Blair has announced the NSW Government will review all penalties and prosecutions relating to animal breeding practices to stamp out rogue operators in the pet industry. “The mistreatment of animals in the pet industry is just not on and I want to stamp out these rogue operators – but it is important that we don’t punish the breeders who are doing the right thing, “Mr Blair said. “As an immediate measure, we are providing significant funding for a targeted compliance peration for animal welfare standards in the pet breeding industry and deliver on our commitment to phase in the Companion Animal Register by July this year to better identify breeders and their practices. To support better animal breeding practices in NSW – the NSW Government will: • Implement a new one-step online identification and registration requirement under the Companion Animals Register, which will also identify breeders and breeding operations. • Provide $200,000 for a targeted compliance

and education operation in relation to animal welfare standards in the pet breeding industry. • Enforce that breeder identification details or a microchip number be displayed when advertising dogs and cats for sale in NSW. Selling a un-microchipped dog or kitten has a maximum fine of $880. • Conduct a review into adequacy of the penalties and prosecutions as well as the funding for enforcement agencies – RSPCA and the Animal Welfare League. • Investigate legislative and regulatory amendments to implement the remaining supported recommendations of the 2011 Companion Animals Taskforce. The announcement follows on from recommendations made by the Companion Animals Breeding Practices Joint Select Committee’s investigation in to animal breeding practices. These changes build on the NSW Government’s strict animal welfare legislation, already in place through the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.

Minimum standards for Ag commissioner resets industry telecoms a ‘no brainer’ relationship with ACCC NSW Farmers today welcomed the government’s admission that consumer protections for phone and internet users were ‘outdated’ and no longer fit for purpose. The association believes that changes are needed for consumer protections to cover both voice and data (internet) services, instead of just a standard telephone service. The government’s admission came as it responded to the 2015 Regional Telecommunications Review. It’s response has announced further work to review the Universal Service Obligation and the overall framework for consumer safeguards. Nyngan farmer and NSW Farmers telecommunications spokesman Anthony Gibson said: “The internet has become an essential tool for all farm businesses. It is a no brainer that minimum standards be set for providing internet and telephone services.� “While it is pleasing that the government has acknowledged the problems and launched further reviews, in the end these must result in real improvements. “Improved coverage under the

NBN is essential, but in markets with limited competition, we cannot assume that the physical roll out of the NBN alone will fix every problem.� “The problems are known. The demand for better services is there. The economic potential of agriculture is enormous. It is time the telecommunications services and protections for people in the bush matched this,� he said. The problems with the current standards are demonstrated in towns such as Mullaley, which has experienced nine months of interrupted mobile, internet and landline service. This has caused enormous disruption to local businesses, education, provision of health care and access to emergency services. NSW Farmers was able to highlight cases such as Mullaley at a forum run yesterday at Federal Parliament House by the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network (ACCAN). NSW Farmers will continue to work with ACCAN and the National Farmers Federation to follow up the government’s response to the review.

NSW Farmers Association today welcomed the announcement of Mick Keogh as the inaugural Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s Agriculture Commissioner. President of the association Derek Schoen said Mick was well known and highly regarded by the agricultural community. “He brings a depth of understanding about the complexity and sensitivity of our agricultural supply chains and he will be a valuable source of practical knowledge for the competition regulator,� he said. “Farmers recognise that the difficulties the sector has faced with the ACCC have always been a two sided problem. “Today’s announcement is an important first step in ensuring effective engagement between the sector and the commission on current issues of concern to farmers.

“For the first time ever, farmers will have a voice at the decision making table when the commission makes important decisions about both competition and consumer protection issues,� Mr Schoen said. NSW Farmers eagerly anticipates the finalisation of the ACCC Agricultural Consultative Committee and has every confidence that the commission will include the NSW Farmers’ nominee on the committee. “We know that the success of the Agriculture Commissioner will depend on the industry’s capacity to link into the work plan of the ACCC Agricultural Unit and to work collaboratively on high priority supply chain issues. “This is an important day for agriculture and NSW Farmers is committed to ensuring that it can make the most of the ACCC’s focus on the sector,� Mr Schoen concluded.

Schute Bell wool report The market took its lead from last week with falls registered over both selling days. The designated superfine sale in Sydney did offer some support to the more stylish types but it was the only pocket of resistance for the week. Merino Fleece types came under the most pressure whilst skirtings and cardings registered little change during the week. The national offering didn’t quite make the expected 50,000 bales but volume wise it was still the largest offering of recent times. 41,177 bales were sold nationally for the week with the passed in rate jumping to 12.3%. Major buyers included Chinatex, Tianyu and PJ Morris. National offering statistics are showing a 6.7% fall in the number of first hand bales offered for the season to date which is broadly in line with the expected seasonal decline across the country. Even with this week’s decline in prices a quick comparison to last year shows the market in a much healthier position with most of

the Merino types 17% higher than the corresponding period last season. Expected upcoming weekly offerings appear to be settling back to the low 40,000 mark. This week’s sales 42,631 bales are expected to be on offer nationally with 10,600 in Sydney. Schute Bell, Wool Auctions, Goddard and Monaro Wool are selling on Thursday the 3rd of March.

Charity bowls day

Cooma Field and Game shoot

This Roosters jersey signed by Ron Coote will be auctioned off during Bombala’s Men of League Charity Bowls Day this Saturday, with all invited to come and have a laugh on the greens while raising funds for a good cause. Ever had a go at social bowls? Well you should! And if you decide to have a go at it in Bombala on Saturday, you’ll even be helping raise funds for the Men of League Foundation! The Bombala district branch of the Men of League is hosting its second Charity Bowls Day this weekend and all are invited to come and have a bowl on Saturday, March 5. The inaugural event last year was a big success, and the day is all about getting out and having fun on the greens to raise money for a very good cause. Participants will pay just $20 to take part, with this covering a great barbecue lunch and the green fees for the day, and of course there’ll be plenty of laughs to be had as the afternoon is enjoyed. There’ll be a Roosters jersey signed by Ronny Coote to auction off at the event, and plenty of prizes given away to add to the fun of the day. Ensuring everyone can get into the spirit of the event, there will also

be a courtesy bus running from the RSL Club at fifteen minute intervals from 11.30am to 12.30pm, and it will be running again from 5pm to get the bowlers home again. The Men of League is all about providing assistance and support to past and present players, coaches, referees, officials and administrators from all levels of the game and the broader rugby league community. And when we say broad, we mean it. Everyone from the canteen ladies to the groundskeepers and supporters are included, and when you think about it, that’s a very large chunk of our community! So show your support for the Men of League Foundation and come and have some fun on the Bombala bowling greens this Saturday, March 5 at their Charity Bowls Day. Meanwhile the Bombala Men of League crew are also running a Footy Tipping Comp at the Globe Hotel in Bombala, and if you pick the Joker you get double points. It’s just $2 a week, so sign up today before it all kicks off!

Cooma ladies golf news The weather was fantastic for golf last Wednesday. The ladies were torn: the 18 -hole or the nine medley stableford. What a decision! In the nine-hole event Misook Barnes was the winner with a pleasing 20 points on a countback. Balls were won by Dorothy Bilbow and Julie Upton both on 20 points. Rulie Steinfort had Nearest The Pin on the fourth second shot. In the 18hole event Helen Crawford had 37 points. She was delighted with her long game but is the first to admit that her putting needs to improve. We are all sure it will as it has been many years since Helen played. Lyn Last also had a great game to end up on 36 points. In Saturday’s ninie-hole medley Gaye Wilson was the winner with 18 points. Ball winners were Lorraine McGregor, 17 points, and Denise Ashcroft, 14 points. The first round of the Ladies Club Championships was played on Sunday. Many excellent scores were recorded but the round of the day

goes to Dorothy Bilbow who had 69 net. Her fairway play was really good and her putting was excellent. Those putts were dropping from all corners of the greens. Great to watch! Helen Crawford was the runner-up with 72 net. Balls were won by Lyn Last, 73 net, Misook Barnes, 73 net, and Gaye Wilson, 78 net. Lyn and Dorothy each won a ball in the putting competition with 29 putts each. In the championships Gaye holds a one shot lead. At this stage the competition is wide open…good luck to all! Both Misook and Yvonne Barnes represented Cooma in the Federal Open last week. Although the heat and the course were testing, they both had an enjoyable day. Good luck to those playing in the Tathra Open this week. Coming up: Wed, 2nd March: 9/18 hole medley; Sat (Elsie Egan Trophy Rd 1) & Sun: Club Championships continue…18 hole stroke each day See you on the course!

Pictured above, a really good turn-out for ladies day.

Cooma field and Game had an excellent day on Sunday with 60 shooters turning out for “Ladies Day”. The weather was well suited to shooting although some of the crew started to wilt a little in the afternoon heat. The set up crews had worked tirelessly the day before to set up two ranges which provided a variety of targets from rabbits to high flying ducks. Phil Craig started the day exceptionally well with a clean 25 on B range which debatably was the harder of the two ranges. This was not however enough to take out high gun in the handicap score event with new shooter and recently acquired club member Dominic Mooney winning out over all. Other results. High Gun Dominic Mooney 117 AA. 1st. Darren Redman 99 2nd. Mark Corbett 88 A. 1st Phillip Craig 111. 2nd Richard Sears 106. 3rd Terrence Thistleton 97 B 1st. Peter Reeve 112. 2nd.

Marg Warriner Thanks to the very generous support of Buckley’s Rural Services for sponsoring the day.

The next shoot will be the Cooma Easter Classic. This event is in its 33rd year and has grown in its stature on the Australian shooting calendar to be now ranked as a premier event. The weekend will see well over 100 shooters contest varying disciplines over the four days.

Bombala junior rugby league sign-up day Right: Signing up for League Tag for the first time were Taylor Ventry, Jemma Boreham, Bree Brownlie, Felicity Boreham and Abbey Boreham.

Left: Reagan Hurley, Coby Robinson, Jack Merritt, Blake Baldwin and Lane Stevenson ready for the 2016 footy season.

The Bombala and District Blue Heelers have dived into a new season - literally! The Junior Rugby League Football Club’s sign up day was held at the Bombala Swimming Pool on Saturday, with a big crowd coming along to get things rolling for 2016. The club was thrilled to sign up around 70 players on the day, and will now be looking to field teams in the

Under 7s, 8s, 9s, 12s and14s. For the very first time the Blue Heelers will also be playing girls league tag, which has generated great interest from the community. During the sign up every enjoyed a free sausage sizzle, and those who registered picked up their team socks and shorts, ready to hit the field when the season kicks off.

Cricket count-down has begun Finals aspirations are still on the line in the final round of the Coffey’s MDCA competition. Berridale took on Dalgety at Berridale and batted first after winning the toss. A couple of early wickets saw Dalgety at 2/32 after nine overs with Jack Parkyn (1/27) and Matthew Bruce (2/47) doing the damage. A massive 225 run partnership between Iain Elliot (122) and Gary Thompson (85) frustrated the Berridale attack with multiple catches just falling out of reach of fielders. Chief and Iain played with skill and aggression to lead Dalgety to a healthy total of 3/262. A quick fire start from Berridale was quickly extinguished with Berridale slumping to 3/39 with Grant Rose (2/57) grabbing two wickets. Andrew Bartell was looking the goods again before holing out off the bowling of Scott Wilshire (3/41). Andrew O’Keefe (54*) batted superbly but the tail could not hold on with him. Simon Freebody (2/8) and Aron Rogers (3/42) cleaned up the tail to see Berridale all out for 193. Jindabyne V Coffeys Ladder leaders Jindabyne took on their perennial nemesis Coffeys under sunny skies at Rotary Oval in the penultimate round in the Monaro A grade. Coffeys needed a win to keep their slim finals hope alive and with Jindabyne missing last weeks heros Lucas Rixon and Dale Cook an upset was always on the cards. Jindy won the toss and got away to a steady start making their way to 1/66 at drinks, with an inept Coffey’s fielding performance giving openers Simon Partell (34) and Callan Andrews (27) plenty of lives. The Coffey’s boys tightened up after drinks running through the

middle order of the Jindabyne side with Mark Williams (3/36) and Nathan Thompson (2/22) the best of the bowlers. Late striking from Jared Cummins (27) and support from Matt Nicholson (15) and Nick Hind (14) gave the Coffeys boys a chase of an even 150. The strong Coffeys batting line up made short work of the Jindy total with Luke High making a scratchy but quick 34 before Sam Williams (71*) and Nathan Thompson (31*) ran down the Jindy total two wickets down in only the 23rd over to keep their finals hopes alive and hoping the Tigers can knock off Aussie hotel next weekend. Aussie vs PVJ PVJ won the toss and elected to bowl. Aussie batted out the 45 overs and ended 7/177. Chris Khoury and Harry Sidhu both scoring 41. Best of the bowlers was Jack Johnson with 2/17 from 6. Fast start from PVJ with Matthew Moxon blasting 24 from about 12 balls but were eventually bowled out for 94 in the 33rd over. Best of the bowlers were Damien Azzo 3/18 from 6 and Harry Sidhu 2/3 from 6. Aussie hotel win keeps them in 4th spot but a big final round is ahead next weekend with so many teams still in contention. Table With just one round to go the table is: Jindabyne 76 Dalgety 72 PVJ 66 Cats 63 Coffey’s 60 Berridale 42 Next week PVJ play Berridale at Nijong, Dalgety play Coffey’s at Dalgety, Jindabyne play The Aussie at Berridale.

Of course there is still time for those interested in playing to sign up, and there is hope that enough players will come forward to make an Under 16s team possible as well. If you’d like to find out more or register your child to play with the Bombala and District Blue Heelers, please contact Julie-anne on 0418 521 241.

Stallions on track With the rugby league season just around the corner the Cooma Stallions have been working hard at preseason to prepare for a strong year in Group 16. Stallions captain coach Todd Williams is happy with where the boys are at the moment and has been promoting fitness and structure at training leading in to an upcoming nines tournament on March 19. “We’re concentrating on building combinations and building structure before the nines,” he said. Although training has been looking solid, Williams mentioned that there has been some difficulties in getting the whole training squad together with people busy with other commitments. He also mentioned that The Stallions are eager to recruit any encouraged people interested in playing to approach the club by coming to training on Tuesday and Thursday at 6pm. “Any new blokes who want to have a run but don’t know what to do should come to training,” he said. Williams is also encouraging all other players to make training and emphasised

the depth of his current roster. “There’s a fair bit of competition across the board. Getting to training will go a long way to securing a spot in first grade. Like I said, there’s a lot of competition across the board,” he said. March 12 will see the highly anticipated Group 16 Indigenous vs All Stars representative round, where players will compete for selection in the final Group 16 side. The Indigenous vs All Stars fixture has grown to be an important event on the Group 16 calendar as it recognises the enormous involvement of Aboriginal People within the rugby league community. The match will feature two Cooma Stallions players, Corey Thomas who will be playing for the Indigenous team and new recruit Astin Nunan who will be playing for the All Stars. Thomas is coming off a sensational 2015 and Nunan will be an exciting addition to the team with Williams saying he is slotting in very well at the Stallions. “Astin fit straight in to the team, he’s looking really good,” he said.

Cooma ladies golf Lachlan and Bill’s CRL training The weather was fantastic for golf last Wednesday. The ladies were torn: the 18 -hole or the nine medley stableford. What a decision! In the nine-hole event Misook Barnes was the winner with a pleasing 20 points on a countback. Balls were won by Dorothy Bilbow and Julie Upton both on 20 points. Rulie Steinfort had Nearest The Pin on the fourth second shot. In the 18-hole event Helen Crawford had 37 points. She was delighted with her long game but is the first to admit that her putting needs to improve. We are all sure it will as it has been many years since Helen played. Lyn Last also had a great game to end up on 36 points. In Saturday’s nine-hole medley Gaye Wilson was the winner with 18 points. Ball winners were Lorraine McGregor, 17 points, and Denise Ashcroft, 14 points. The first round of the Ladies Club Championships was played on Sunday. Many excellent scores were recorded but the round of the

day goes to Dorothy Bilbow who had 69 net. Her fairway play was really good and her putting was excellent. Those putts were dropping from all corners of the greens. Great to watch! Helen Crawford was the runner-up with 72 net. Balls were won by Lyn Last, 73 net, Misook Barnes, 73 net, and Gaye Wilson, 78 net. Lyn and Dorothy each won a ball in the putting competition with 29 putts each. In the championships Gaye holds a one shot lead. At this stage the competition is wide open…good luck to all! Both Misook and Yvonne Barnes represented Cooma in the Federal Open last week. Although the heat and the course were testing, they both had an enjoyable day. Good luck to those playing in the Tathra Open this week. Coming up: Wed, 2nd March: 9/18 hole medley; Sat (Elsie Egan Trophy Rd 1) and Sun: Club Championships continue…18 hole stroke each day. See you on the course!

Gary Taylor takes out the Major Singles title at Cooma bowls Last Wednesday four matches in Major Singles as well as two rinks of the usual Wednesday social bowls was played in very hot conditions. Judy Locker, Ron Wainwright and Leonie Snell were evenly matched with Max Butler, Elaine Taylor and Bob Lahy after nine ends when the latter scored four shots. Not to be outdone, Leonie’s team scored four on the next end but Max, Elaine and Bob came home the stronger to win 21/18. Mike Mannile, Ron Gammon and Garry Taylor had a real battle with Mike Mannile, Alby Marshall and Renate Winckel but can’t give much detail as the card does not show which shots belonged to who, however the final score was 21/21. A couple of initials at the head of the score column would help. No such problems with the four matches in Major Singles. Mick Mayhew matched it with Wayne Lodge for 11 ends but fours to Wayne on each of 12 and 13 and followed that up with seven winning ends Wayne was the winner 31/15. Mark Buckley made his intentions clear with four shots on the first end against Mario Frezza but had to sit back and watch as Mario forged ahead to lead 13/9 on end 13 when Mark scored 11 shots over five ends to take the lead and although Mario drew close on several occasions Mark ran out the winner 31/25. Peter Harris made Tony Gray work for all his shots for the first 12 ends. From there to the end Tony was in control and won 31/20. Ross Russell would have been feeling confident when he held a 9/2 lead over Wayne Flynn, but not so good when Wayne hit the front on end 20, lost it on 23, regained it on 28 and eventually lost to Ross 30/31 after 33 ends. Mario Frezza and Daphne Buckley got to the front against Mary Phillips and Denis Steinfort on end twenty and hung on to win 20/21. Renate Winckel and Tom Reed trailed Roulie Steinfort and Brian Seears all the way with Roulie and Brian winning 19/16. Six more matches in Major Singles were played on Saturday with the following results. John Barnes made a good start against Peter Caldwell but was unable to maintain the pressure with Peter advancing from a 10/12 deficit to go on and win 31/18 on end 33. John Vincent was in the box seat against Sergio Roncelli when leading 19/10. Four shots to Sergio on 17 gave him a respite but John went on to win 31/25. Steve Seears was in control for the majority of his match with Jack Sajina and set up a commanding 26/7 lead on end 21. Jack outscored Steve over the remaining ends but the start was too much with Steve winning 31/15. Don Jarvis was a quick starter against John Schoon to lead 10/4. A series of one shot ends to John brought him level at 14/14 on 21 before going on to win 31/20. Max Butler scored four on each of the first two ends against Robbie Roberson and went on to lead 15/7 on 13. Robbie then made his move in winning 12 of the next 13 ends and eventually the match 31/25. Garry Taylor had too many guns for Ken Rees in allowing him only six one shot ends in his 31/6/victory. In District Pennants Cooma Two 2/59 defeated Adaminaby 1/55 and Cooma One 2/73 defeated Jindabyne 1/67. Monaro Shield. Cooma One 2 rinks 4 points Nimmitabel 1rink 2 points.

Seubert’s round Jindabyne Bushpigs win Kiama sevens of the day Cooma Golf Club Last Wednesday’s Stableford saw Dieter Seubert blitz the field to win C Grade with a fine round of 41 points, the best score of the day. A grade was won by Kim Howard with 36 points (on a count back) whilst Phil Amey won B Grade with 38 points, further trimming his handicap. Balls were won by Heikki Evans, Bob Ashcroft, John Alexander, Helen Crawford, Jeff Burgess, Marty Gelling and Lyn Last, whilst Mark Rainsford won both nearest the pins. Saturday saw the running of the 4BBB Championship with the team of Tony Perry and Dave Douglass combining very well for 49 points to win easily from Wayne Flynn and Ken McGrath on 44 followed by Bill Dyball and Tim Bedingfeld, Roy Hankinson and Lindsay Blewitt and Kim Howard and George Bowden, all on 43 points. Long drives went to Steve Young (A Grade, Charlie Beaumont (B Grade) and Lindsay Blewitt (C grade), whilst Brian Searl won nearest the pin on nine and Doug Parker was closest on 17. Sunday’s competition was a Stableford played off the front markers, making the course slightly easier on paper but no one really shot the lights out. Wayne Flynn won the day with 39 points followed by Robert O’Farrell on 37. Balls went to Frank McKnight, Phil Amey, Jeff Burgess and Heikki Evans. The highlight of the day was and eagle to Brian Searl who holed his second shot on the 15th for a five pointer. Nearest the Pin on nine was won by Steve Young and Denis Minehan knocked it to within a metre on 17 (and missed the putt!). Next week’s competitions will be a Stableford on Wednesday the Monthly Medal (stroke) on Saturday and a Stableford on Sunday, as well as the B Grade Pennants.

The Jindabyne Rugby 7’s side have won the Kiama 7’s Country Cup for the second side on Saturday beating hosts Kiama 1512 in the final. Making the trip down for one of Australias premier 7’s competitions the side was composed of current and former players as well as three players from the Bushpigs rivals Bungendore. It was a case of four seasons in one day in Kiama with heavy rain starting the day before the sun came out to make it an extremely hot, humid and uncomfortable day for rugby. The Jindabyne side responded well however with a first up win over Molong 19 – 5. This game allowed some combinations to come together with strong showings from Dylan Galvin and John Steele providing plenty of space and flowing rugby. The second game, despite the score of 24 -7, was a tougher contest for the side with Singleton Bulls putting up a physical encounter for the Jindabyne side. Andy Gossling, Steve Romppanen and Liam Pepper sought to counter this with some great defence which allowed Jindabyne to turn over the ball and allow its backs to create space and scoring opportunities. Unfortunately Craig Dixon fractured his foot during the encounter and was ruled out by trainer Daniel Josifovski meaning Jindabyne had to

handle the rest of the day one man short. The third and final pool game was make or break for Jindabyne with a win over Kiama B ensuring their place in the Country Cup final. The side seemed to respond with a blistering 39 – 0 victory. Strong forward play from Dave Akkersdyk and Jake Roarty provided go forward and turn overs which allowed Captain Matthew Robert Caldwell to put on a small clinic of his own in the format that was made for him, scoring three tries. The final saw Jindabyne up against hosts and strong favourites Kiama who had won through from the corresponding pool. The Kiama side were the defending champions and had a strong Fijian presence in their side making them very suited to the 7’s format. The Jindabyne side came out firing however and spent the

first few minutes attacking the Kiama line. Unfortunately some poor options led to turnovers and Kiama made them pay marching up field and breaking the line for an easy try. The Jindabyne side seemed caught off guard and again poor 7’s rugby led to another turnover and quickly another try just before half time to go into the break 12 – 0 down. To compound the situation Caldwell came off with a wrist injury spurring a string of changes from Coach Michael Needham and Manager Kelvin Armstrong. The Kiama side however seemed to be tiring and Jindabyne saw an opportunity despite the adversity. They could not have started the half better with Akkersdyk contesting the kick off and regaining possession for the side to spread it wide and Galvin showing unbelievable speed for a runaway try in the

corner. This seemed to give Jindabyne massive confidence and the ensuing restart was again contested with tenacious pressure. This eventually led to Jared Gilkison forcing a turnover which was quickly pounced on by opportunist Rob Morris who streaked away to score. The Jindabyne side were still down by two and time was running out. Kiama seemed to settle and put some phases together, however the defence stood strong and forced the mistake. From the scrum Jindabyne went wide and one of the day’s best performers, Steven Prail, sold the dummy to slice through the line and touchdown to give Jindabyne the lead and silence the vocal home crowd. The side showed great poise to control the remainder of the game and went out winners 15 – 12.

Local junior rugby league players took part in the Rovers Training Camp over the weekend to help develop their skills and allow players from different age groups the opportunity to get to know each other. “It went really good. We were down on numbers a bit but it was good. Most of them learnt a fair bit. We keep them up to date with skills and drills,” said coach Gobby Shingles. The camp was attended by former Cooma Colts U/16 premiership winner and Canberra Raider, Sam Williams, who put the boys through their paces and shared information and knowledge on new innovations coming out of the NRL.
