Illegal activities in the lower Snowy River The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is calling on the community to report all illegal activity following a spate of illegal dumping and vandalism in the Lower Snowy River area of Kosciuszko National Park Snowy River Area Manager, Pam O’Brien, said Pinch River Camping Area has been destroyed by people damaging and burning barriers and illegally dumping household waste. “Staff cleaning up the area have also come across evidence of the illegal use of firearms, finding deer and horses that have been shot,” said Ms O’Brien. “Carrying a firearm in a National Park

without a specific licence is illegal under the National Parks and Wildlife Act and poses serious danger. “In this case the indiscriminate use of a firearm near a camping area has not only harmed animals but also presents a danger to park users. “Cleaning up after vandalism and illegally dumped rubbish places an unnecessary drain on park staff resources and can also attract fines. “The Lower Snowy River area is a great place to camp year round but particularly in the cooler months when it’s always a bit warmer along the river. “Illegal shooters and those vandalising

the park disrupt the remote and tranquil nature of these areas and it’s the last thing visitors to Kosciuszko want to see or hear. “The safety of park visitors is paramount to NPWS, and illegal activities compromising people’s safety will not be tolerated,” said Ms O’Brien. Visitors are asked to report all illegal activities and anti-social behaviour seen in the park to the Jindabyne NPWS office or local police. Details of vehicles or descriptions of people involved in these activities can be made confidentially and all reports will be investigated.

Getting a taste for TAFE On Monday the year 10 students from Snowy Mountains Grammar School (SMGS) and St Patrick’s School got to get a taste of what Cooma TAFE has to offer. Getting a complete tour of the campus, the students were able to experience some demonstrations and information about available courses such as automotive, welding, agriculture and hospitality. “The aim of the day is to investigate ideas for both post-school career pathways as well as options for TAFE delivered Vocational Education and Training (TVET) courses for during years 11 and 12,” says TVET Coordinator Carolyn Ewart. SMGS Principal Andrew Bell said that the exercise

is very valuable to the year 10 students who are just starting to think about their futures. “I have heard from a few students today that they were not thinking of TAFE as a possible pathway, but following the tour were now considering it,” he said. Steve Summerville, St Patrick’s year 10 career advisor, said that the day was a great opportunity for the students to see what different pathways TAFE has to offer. “TAFE is very good because you can come here at any point in your life, and you can take on courses to further your career, or simply for interest,” says Mr Summerville, “I also think it is important to show the students what facilities we have available here at the Cooma TAFE as a local resource.”

Community Forum on Cooma’s development On Monday 17 August a community forum was held as a follow up from the Future of Cooma meeting held back in April. Concerned residents called the previous meeting after a conversation was started on social media about the apparent lack of economic development in Cooma. The meeting held at the Ex-Services Club was hosted by the Chamber of Commerce with a panel of six local figure heads including Mayor Dean Lynch, Chamber President Kathy Kelly, solicitor Mark Herbert, Cooma Hospital Health Services Manager Antje Badger, Councillor Craig Mitchell and Principal of High Country Automotive Group David Crawford. About 20 local residents and business owners attended the meeting to discuss issues currently facing Cooma in terms of economic growth. The Council’s ‘So Much to Love’ campaign currently underway was recognised as being well received in the town by businesses and residents alike. A need for more communication was identified regarding the mobile Business Enterprise Centre (BEC) offered in the area, which would provide some support for businesses looking to start up in Cooma. Another issue that was raised was how to keep young people in the area. The Cooma Universities Centre was discussed as a success story for the region with 53 students currently enrolled and strong indications of growth in the years to come. David

Crawford said that at HCAG he has taken on three new apprentices for next year and identified that as an affordable and effective way for businesses to grow and invest in their future. Suggestions for events such as a farmers market, café crawl, street performances and musical festivals were also discussed at the meeting. Mayor Dean Lynch expressed the view that these sorts of events are great, but that what is required is strong support from the community and heavy marketing to bring people into the town. Another aspect that was identified was the need for action surrounding the issue of communication infrastructure. Lobbying the Federal government was identified as the best course of action for bringing this issue to the forefront, and Mayor Dean Lynch said to look out for the free town WiFi that was launched last week. On the back of this meeting, the Chamber of Commerce intends to put together a report of all issues raised and what possible courses of action can be taken.

Pictured: The panel at the Cooma Community Forum held Monday 17 August took some innovative suggestions from the community for enhancing Cooma’s future.

Police stop ‘ice’ hitting the slopes Police have arrested two men following a drug operation in the Monaro Local Area Command on Thursday. In June 2015, officers from Monaro Local Area Command commenced an investigation into the illegal supply of drugs in the alpine area. Two men aged 24 and 25 were arrested in a carpark at Bullocks Flat about 2pm on Thursday 27 August 2015, by officers from Monaro, and assisted by the Tactical Operations Unit and Drug Detection Support Group. Police will allege the men were responsible for the supply of prohibited drugs over a period of time including a large commercial quantity of MDMA (ecstasy), a commercial quantity of cocaine, and quantity of ‘Ice’. Both men are at Cooma Police Station where they are assisting with inquiries. Superintendent Rod

Smith, Commander of Monaro Local Area Command, said police have focused on drug supply in the alpine area of the Snowy Mountains and has involved a number of operations, and covert operations. “Yesterday saw the arrest of two men who police will allege in court supplied a large quantity of drugs, being ecstasy, MDMA, cocaine and Ice, and we are pleased to say the drugs are off the street,” Supt Smith said. “The State Crime Command has assisted us down here in Jindabyne on previous operations resulting in the arrest and charging of a 40-year-old man with supplying a commercial quantity of MDMA.” “We have also run various operations with NSW Police Drug Dogs, and ongoing good police work has resulted in over 70 people being detected with drugs. We know there are drugs

Alpine Quarry clarification The Monaro Post would like to issue a clarification of information in reference to an article published on page six of the August 19 2015 edition entitled ‘Alpine Quarry to continue operation’. In a meeting on Tuesday August 11, the Snowy River Shire Council Delivery and Operations Committee (DOC) approved the continuation of the Alpine Quarry, 17km west of Jindabyne, for a further 10 years as of December 1 2015. The article read “The

DOC decided in a four against three vote to allow the Alpine Quarry to continue operating for 10 years or until such time as the approved material has been extracted.” The Monaro Post would like to clarify that the quarry is not to operate beyond the approved 10 years. As per the conditions of the DOC approval, should the extraction be achieved prior to the December 1 2025, operation of the quarry will cease.

being used in this area and we are taking this very seriously,” Supt Smith said. “We have also had success running similar operations in Wagga Wagga and the Shoalhaven areas in recent months with all operations proving very successful. “This should be a reminder to everyone that this is a combined effort between police and the community. People who see something suspicious, or suspect illegal drug activity may be happening in their area, they should contact their local police. Communities don’t need to put up with this activity, let your local officers know. This can also be done anonymously or by calling Triple Zero (000)” he said. Police are urging anyone with information in relation to these incidents to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333

000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page: https://nsw. crimestoppers.com.au/ Information you provide will be treated in the strictest of confidence. We remind people they should not report crime information via our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Pyjama Story time Last Thursday was the annual pyjama story time at the Cooma Library. All children were welcome to come along in their pyjamas to listen to the library staff read some fun children’s books. The kids were even lucky enough to have a reading by local Adaminaby man Rolf Svensen of one of his stories that is to be published in his new book over the next few weeks. His book is a collection of entertaining bedtime stories for children. About 20 children and their

families came along to the night, which also included some fun craft activities and a bedtime snack. Manager of the Cooma Library Pam Viess said that it was great to see all the kids enjoying themselves. “It gives the younger ones an opportunity to celebrate book week out of school,� she says. Pictured: All the children enjoyed getting into their PJs to come along to the Library last Thursday.

Jindabyne intersection upgrade scheduled Snowy River Shire Council will be undertaking reconstruction and upgrade work on the Snowy River Way and Barry Way intersection in Jindabyne. These works will improve safety to the travelling public utilising this intersection. The works will accomplish: • Improved line of sight • Increased lane width • The creation of refuge lanes for traffic turning into the Barry Way • Improved street lighting • Improved safe access for heavy vehicles • Improved storm water drainage • Culvert replacement • The removal of invasive willows from the Cobbin Creek catchment Due to the extensive nature of the works some minor delays will be experienced by road users. Traffic lights will be installed and will be operating for the duration of the project. The installation of the culvert will require a temporary bypass road to be built and 24 hour traffic control will also be in place during this time. A staged scheduling approach has been adopted. The work is planned as follows: Stage One Commencing on October 19, following will be carried out: 1. Removal of invasive Willow Trees

2. Installation of bypass track for culvert replacement 3. Culvert replacement and reconstruction 4. Shoulder construction along Snowy River Way to Station Resort turning circle 5. Barry Way shoulder construction It is expected that the shoulder works will not impact on the seal. The culvert works will be completed to a stage where two-way traffic will be able to operate safely. These works are expected to be completed before 20 December 2015. Stage Two Commencing on January 11 2016, the following works will be carried out: 1. 200mm overlay 2. Seal and line marking 3. Line marking 4. Street Lighting Installation These works are expected to be completed by February 30, 2016. Council requests that local residence plan for minor delays at the traffic lights during the upgrade works.

Multi-car crash closes road A multiple vehicle crash on Sunday afternoon closed the Kosciuszko Road for about an hour. At about 3.30pm, a vehicle crossed to the wrong side of the road, colliding with three other vehicles about 200m south of the Thredbo River bridge. One passenger was trapped in one of the vehicles for a short while. As a result of the accident five people were taken to Cooma Hospital with minor injuries. All vehicles required towing from the scene. Traffic at the time was heavy. Police inquiries are continuing, but fatigue is believed to have been a contributing factor.

Snowy River Shire Council has commenced a “condition campaign” to discuss its rural and urban roads and they want to hear from the community. Currently, Snowy River Shire is required to value the level of service for our roads as being a condition 2 standard, otherwise known as ‘good’. This rating means that not only is it financially impossible to fulfil current renewal obligations, it is equally unaffordable to maintain the remaining sealed and unsealed network on an annual basis. Council knows that over the next 10 years it will cost $75M to bring all roads

Cooma Rural Fire Service advises the Bush Fire danger Period will commence on October 1. The RFS has attended a car fire at Bredbo after the vehicle collided with a kangaroo, the three vehicle accident on Kosciuzko Road on Sunday and assisted the Bombala Fire and Rescue at a structure fire in Bombala on Monday night.

to a good standard (condition 2) and $61M to bring all roads to an acceptable standard (condition 3). With community support council said it can stretch every dollar further and get more roads up to the acceptable standard. Over the next two months council will be conducting an online survey and holding a community meeting. If you have an opinion about our roads and the standards in which they are either maintained or renewed, then make sure you sign up to the distribution list to keep up to date.

Most of you will have now heard of Council’s Road Condition Campaign that is currently being undertaken. To be Fit for the Future, Council in consultation with the community needs to do more work on our infrastructure backlog and particularly our roads. In doing so, we will need to allocate more money and understand what level of road condition the community is willing to accept. The campaign aims to identify and discuss the conditions of our rural and urban roads with the Community so that we can stretch every dollar further and get more roads up to a suitable standard. If you have an opinion about our roads and the standards in which they are either maintained or renewed please complete our online survey. It is very important that we get as many people as possible completing the survey as it will provide Council with essential feedback necessary to inform work schedules going forward.

Two special exhibitions to open at the Raglan Gallery this week Two exhibition openings and two fascinating artists - both new to the Raglan - on one big weekend! At 5.30pm on Friday, Colour and Texture, a collection of abstract mixed media works by Natalie Power, opens. On Saturday at 3pm Wenona Matthews launches her exhibition of mixed media drawings Seeing Spirit. Natalie Power’s works are a celebration, often in more than one dimension, of colour, texture, movement and freedom of expression. She developed her textile mixed media art alongside her painting while living near Chapel St, Melbourne in 2005, mashing up curtains, lace, sticks, ripped vintage fabrics, and paper, sometimes sacrificing art and canvasses to create something new. Her work has featured in the set design of the mini-series Tangle and an advertisement for the RACV. Ms Power has exhibited in solo and group shows over 20 years including Lismore (NSW 1997), Subiaco (WA 19992001), Lavender Bay and St Leonards (NSW 2002, 2005), and several in Prahran

(Vic. 2005-2011), where Eurotrash in Chapel St also commissioned and sold her clothing designs.

While painting in her spare time, Ms Power majored in jazz singing for her Diploma of Contemporary Music at the Lismore Conservatorium of the Arts, improvising with other musicians. Wenona Matthews is an artist and independent healer who has spent the last four years travelling between Australia and

Peru, studying the Mestizo Curanderismo and Vegetalismo traditions of the Upper Amazon. In her recent works Ms Matthews has been investigating pictorial narratives of symbol and mythology gained through dreams and ecstatic spiritual states. She also uses art as a therapeutic tool for exploring ‘the Self’ and consciousness alongside her knowledge of traditional plant medicines, healing techniques and esoteric traditions from around the world. While this is her first solo exhibition of consolidated works, Wenona Matthews has had Installations at the ACT Dragon Dreaming and Peats Ridge Festivals( ACT 2009, NSW 2010), and Sculpture in the Vineyards (Hunter Valley, NSW 2011). Her qualifications include a Bachelor of Fine Arts from The National Art School, Sydney, and a Master of Art and Curatorship from The University of Sydney. Join these exciting artists at their exhibition openings. Showing for a limited time only – ends September 19.

Pictured: An example of the impressive work by Wenona Matthews.

Winter is over and spring has sprung. With warmer temperatures on their way, Rydges Horizons Snowy Mountains Resort has the perfect way to celebrate the change in seasons. Come along to Day by the Lake – a great community event where you can sit back, relax and catch up with friends and family after a busy winter. Saturday September 19 is the day to cruise on down to the sunny lawns by the lake for the event. With food stalls, refreshing drinks, wine tasting and great local live music all day you don’t want to miss it. There will also be a chance to take a scenic helicopter ride from 1.30pm. Rydges general manager James

Harris says that there is no better way to experience the beautiful snowy mountains. “Having scenic chopper rides available will be a great offering on the day and I know that I will certainly be getting up there and taking my F&B Manager Megan along with me as she has never been in a chopper before and I don’t think she likes the idea of it either,” he says. Opening the day will be some great performances by the Jindabyne Central School band and the senior girls of Miss Jenny’s Dance School. So come on down and support the kids who will also be doing a bit of fundraising. There will plenty for them to enjoy afterwards with a jumping castle being run by the Snowy Mountains Care

Southern Phone community grant scheme open Following the great success of last year’s inaugural program, Council is very pleased to announce the second year of the Southern Phone Grant Scheme. Ideas for community-based projects in the Snowy River Shire Local Government Area can become a reality due to Southern Phone’s passion for regional development and Council being a foundation shareholder in the company. “The pilot program highlighted the ability that these grant funds have to create a positive difference within our community for various groups and projects” affirmed Mayor Cahill. “The objective is to support a number of communitybased projects that provide a physical asset for, or service to, the local community within the Snowy River LGA, with a

total grant pool of $25, 000 available for our area” said Mayor Cahill. Snowy River Shire’s community is in the first round of grants with the submission period closing at 5pm, Friday 11 September 2015. A major change to the scheme is that the application process is now online through a program called Smarty Grants which enables applicants to manage the process in a much simpler way. Community organisations can access the online application via: www.southernphone.com.au/grants. Prospective applicants will also find FAQ’s, a Smarty Grants user guide and other useful information on this page. Southern Phone Company indicates that the preferred

beneficiaries will be legally constituted, not-for-profit, non-political and non-advocacy community groups or organisations. Section 355 Committees are able to participate however they are requested to contact Snowy River Shire Council’s Grants Officer for further details. Council encourages interested groups to review the guidelines and preview the application form in order to take advantage of this valuable opportunity and create projects that enrich our community. For inquiries about the guidelines, deadlines, or questions in the form, please contact Sefton & Associates on 02 6766 5222 during business hours. Successful grants will be announced in mid October 2015.

Local service attends State’s most innovative outreach children’s services conference Monaro Mobile Preschool Inc. (MMPS) is joining with other mobile children’s services across the state for the annual ‘Mobile Meet’ conference at Penrith commencing today. Mobile Meet is the only conference dedicated to the innovative mobile children’s services sector that deliver ‘mobile’ early learning services to thousands of children in NSW. Having recently lost their NSW government funding, the Mobile Children’s Services Association of NSW Inc. are concerned that this may be the last conference they are able to hold. Teaching Director of the Monaro Mobile Preschool Debbie Greenwood is also a committee member of the Association and says that the funding losses are a huge drawback. “If we lose the Association, then we lose our voice,” she said, “This conference is really important for connecting with other rural and remote services to see what strategies and practises they are using that we might also benefit from. Losing it would be a real disadvantage.” Monaro Mobile Preschool has been running for 28 years working across the Monaro and currently in the communities of Michelago, Jindabyne and Berridale. “Our service is unique in that it ‘reaches out’ to the community, providing early childhood education” said Debbie Greenwood Teaching Director. Operating four days a week, the Monaro Mobile Preschool is licensed to have 20 children at each venue, which they currently have in both Berridale and Jindabyne with extensive waiting lists. Michelago only has about six children and being more remote, tends to fluctuate in numbers from year to year. “Monaro Mobile Preschool is staffed with the most

dedicated and passionate educators and Mobile Meet is a good opportunity for us to access tailored professional development and networking with other mobile children’s services,” she said. Monaro Mobile Preschool will be closed while staff prepare for and attend the one of a kind conference. “Mobile children’s services work particularly with families in isolating circumstances that make it hard to access child care centres. The beauty of mobile children’s services is that educators travel with the children’s resources and deliver programs in community facilities like parks, halls and empty school classrooms” said Rebecca O’Sullivan, Executive Officer of the Mobile Children’s Services Association of NSW Inc. (MCSA). “Without mobile children’s services reaching out to communities, many children in NSW would begin school without having experienced any early learning services and would miss out on the vital benefits of early childhood education all together” Rebecca O’Sullivan said. “The team and I are looking forward to bringing new ideas back home for the service and our children” Ms Greenwood said.

Sir William Hudson staff with the family members of residents who have passed away over the last 12 months at a memorial service held on Friday.

More than just a meal The Member for Monaro John Barilaro has applauded the commitment of more than 75,000 Meals on Wheels volunteers across Australia as part of National Meals on Wheels Day (celebrated on Wednesday 26th August 2015). Mr Barilaro said the Meals on Wheels service has assisted Australians for more than 60 years. Over the past year volunteers have prepared and delivered 14 million meals to 60,000 people in need Australia-wide.

“Meals on Wheels is a name synonymous with good will and charity; it’s an organisation familiar to most Australians and without their swag of dedicated and hardworking volunteers, thousands would go without,� said Mr Barilaro.� “Meals on Wheels is more than just a meal; the service makes it possible for older Australians and people with disability to stay in their homes by delivering nutritious meals, social interaction and

regular visits. “This is a valuable program which highlights our strong community spirit and the significant contribution of volunteers not just in NSW, but around Australia. “I want to personally take this opportunity to thank the hardworking staff and volunteers in Queanbeyan and Cooma and throughout other parts of the Monaro that deliver these valuable

School competition to honour Australia’s Vietnam veterans Member for Eden-Monaro, Dr Peter Hendy, today encouraged the region’s secondary schools to participate in the Australian Government’s Honouring Australian Vietnam Veterans schools’ competition. The competition encourages students in Year 9 and 10 to explore the service of Australia’s Vietnam veterans, and to reflect on the importance of remembering their involvement in the conflict. “More than 60,000 Australian servicemen and women were deployed to Vietnam between 1962 and 1975, and over 500 were killed. While many returned home with physical and emotional scars, all came home with a personal story to tell,� Dr Hendy said. “The Honouring Australian Vietnam Veterans schools’ competition offers students an opportunity to research some of these stories and better understand their service. Students can submit responses in a variety of ways, including multimedia, artworks, musical compositions or essays.� The competition is open from Tuesday, 18 August

The many styles of Sandy Schofield BOMBALA COUNCIL GENERAL MANAGER: Ms Ngaire McCrindle

At the recent Council meeting Councillors discussed the proposal to enhance the Bombala Swimming Pool Complex. Enhancements will include additional space for a gym and rooms for allied services to operate from. Council believes that this proposal will be of great benefit to the local community and will assist with efforts to improve the long term health and well-being of our community. Council is currently preparing documentation for this proposal which will be advertised in the near future. At the meeting Council also discussed a request by the RFS to identify the Creewah Rural Fire Shed as a Neighbour Safer Place. Council agreed to this proposition which will see the Fire Shed upgraded which will make it fit for the purpose. A Report which showed the preliminary design plans for a low level weir and road crossing in the vicinity of the bottom footbridge over the Bombala River was confirmed at the meeting. Staff will be shortly seeking expressions of interest from planning consultants to pursue the approvals. Council wishes to advise the community that the Government Access Point will be moving from the VIC to Council Chambers from September 2. This will help to streamline the provision of government services like birth, death and marriage certificates, various building licences and fishing licences. Please note that Transport NSW TrainLink (CountryLink) ticketing remains at the VIC.

“I always wanted to be a hairdresser. When I was little I used to cut my dolls hair and then cry when it didn’t grow back. Mum used to get really cranky with me about it.” At 21 years old, Sandy Schofield owned her very own hairdressing salon. “My dad always told me that if I wanted to do it, then I should do it for myself.” Leaving school at the end of year 10 in 1982, Sandy began her apprenticeship at Nevairs Salon with Nav Castelleran. “Nav was my hairdressing idol,” said Sandy, “She was really trendy, always wearing high heels, and she brought hair fashion to Cooma. Things like blow waves – I mean, it was the 80s.” When Sandy finished her apprenticeship in 1986, she bought Julie’s Clip Joint. “I was lucky because Julie’s already had great staff and a good customer base.” It was the following year, 1987, that Sandy met Craig. Married three years later, Sandy and Craig had two boys, Lachlan t 4)01 -0$"- and Jake. t #6: -0$"- “Running my own business really gave t 4611035 -0$"- me the freedom to be able to make time for the kids stuff,” said Sandy, “I was able www. .com.au to go along to all the sports carnivals and the footy games on weekends, and I was able to help out with the school P&F too.” After 10 years at the salon, Sandy felt like it was time to reinvent the place. So she picked up shop and moved to Jaggez 8560 turbo 4wd ml422 down the road where she set up beauty treatments as well as hairdressing. Jaggez was her home for 15 more years, LMD: 6497 51 Maybe Street, Bombala NSW 2632 with all the Phone: 6458 3522t Fax: 6458 3773 t villageford@bigpond.com original staff she

had started with back in the beginning. In 2005, Sandy lost her beloved father. As so often is the case when losing a loved one, Sandy took a step back to evaluate what was really important and decided she needed a change. “I never stopped loving hairdressing, but I feel that it is very important to be always growing and reinventing yourself.” So Sandy went to work at the Canberra Institute of Technology to teach hairdressing to international and special needs students. There was one class of Indigenous students that started out with 16 students, however by the end of the term, there were only six left. Sandy was told that this was a remarkable result as the numbers typically fall much lower than six. After working at CIT, Sandy started at Cooma TAFE taking the TAFE delivered Vocational Education and Training (TVET) classes for students doing the HSC. It was not until this year that Sandy gave up that role to focus more on her position as a stylist at Birdsnest. “It was strange to suddenly be working for someone else rather than being the boss,” said Sandy, “You’re goal posts sort of change.” But Sandy loves her role at Birdsnest and she said he has learnt so much. “The main thing I love about the job is the way I get to make people feel happy and good about themselves.” It is this making people feel better that also attracted Sandy to not only hairdressing, but to becoming involved in the mcCr (Monaro Committee for Cancer Research). “Besides my children, I consider mcCr my biggest achievement,” said Sandy, “The first time cancer touched my life was when Craig lost his mother very early on in our relationship. It was so hard to watch them all suffer, and all I wanted to do was help and make a difference.” “Usually fundraising events like Dancing with the Stars and Strictly Musical come about because of sad circumstances, and the events end up being very sad themselves, but I wanted these events to be different – I wanted to make everyone happy.” The idea for Dancing with the Stars came

to Sandy as soon as she saw the program on television. Her idea was knocked back at first, and she was told that she would never sell two nights of shows. However, when the tickets went on sale, the Monaro community rallied and both nights sold out. This led to the decision to put on a matinee, which then sold out in 20 minutes. Again feeling the importance of reinvention, Sandy and her partner in crime, Carolyn Ewart came up with the concept of Strictly Musical, which was a huge success raising a massive $218,000. Sandy and Carolyn have been a dynamic duo for many years. Locals may remember seeing them dressed as Kath and Kim and as fairies at other fundraisers or school events in the past. “You do really need an offsider when you’re performing, and Carolyn and I are that for one another,” said Sandy, “She never said no to my ideas, and we really are more like sisters.” Sandy said she often wonders what might have happened had she left Cooma, however with her family and friends around her, she wouldn’t have it any other way. “My mum is really what keeps me grounded here,” said Sandy, “She is an amazing woman. Coming from Italy to Cooma back in 1952, she has always been an incredibly resilient and hard working person.” Sandy even recalls a story her mother told her about when she was walking to school with her friend. Her friend would eat an orange and then give Sandy’s mother the peel to eat, because she was so hungry. “Mum is great with the kids and she is just always there for us,” she said. “But it is also the community that has kept me here. I am a very strong community person. That is one of the things I missed most about leaving the salon, I didn’t get to see my Jaggez family every single day.” Through community support, reinvention and a desire to make others happy, Sandy Schofield has made a real difference to the Cooma-Monaro community. A mover and shaker, an inspiration and a true asset to us all.

Jindabyne Central School students with the Snowy Seniors. Jindabyne’s senior citizens have received expert tuition on how to use computers, software, apps, tablets and websites from those who know best – Jindabyne’s teenagers. Jindabyne Central School (JCS) has teamed up with Snowy River Shire Council to link seniors and high school students, with the teenagers taking on the role of tutors and trouble shooters as they walk their new friends step by step through any difficulties they may encounter. About 10 JCS students from Year 10 have spent one afternoon a week during the past eight weeks helping 35 “Snowy Seniors� from Jindabyne, Berridale, Adaminaby and Cooma through their 10-week information technology course. “I love it, it’s been a lot of fun,� said 15-year-old Elliot Pearson. “It’s cool to be helping out people.� Elliot said the thing he has enjoyed most has been spending time explaining the processes to seniors at a pace that suits each person. “We all learn at our own pace and this program lets us help them one on one,� he said. “We can get them through at a pace they are comfortable with.� It’s been a steep learning curve for Joy Kahler from Jindabyne. Sadly, Mrs Kahler lost her husband earlier this year and she is now learning the ropes of paying bills online on her iPad.

“I bring my iPad along and I’m learning to pay my accounts on it,� she said. “The one-on-one help from the students, I have found that extremely good. At this age, it’s been a lot to learn.� Kate Bralower, an exchange student at JCS from the United States, said she had mostly helped her seniors use iTunes, Facebook and Pinterest. “I think it’s great,� she said. “We don’t have these opportunities in America so it’s been a great thing for me to do. It’s really nice to be able to give something back to people in this country.� IT specialist Cameron Bramley said having the students available to help individuals with specific issues meant he could continue teaching the group at a faster pace. “The students have been able to help each person through the steps so having them here has been invaluable,� he said. JCS Principal Debbie-Lee Hughes said the Snowy Seniors program highlighted the willingness of her students to be engaged with community in a positive and thoughtful manner. “There were many opportunities which provided the JCS students with so much; a feeling of value and worthy contribution to our community, pride, respect and responsibility,� she said.

Cooma Men’s Probus Club August 2015 The Probus Club this month was treated to a fascinating talk on the Australian constitution by one of our own, Jock McKenzie, and he began by describing the Constitution as a set of rules for Government, which also defined Federal and State responsibilities. Jock has completed the subject of Constitutional Law in the Law Course from Sydney University, and also completed a major three year study in Government in an Economics Degree from the same University. In our modern society where many controversial governmental decisions are being discussed, his talk provided a useful background for members to formulate their own individual opinions on issues facing our elected members. The Federal system that we have in Australia is a system where government is divided between a central or national government and smaller autonomous units such as provinces or states. The Commonwealth of Australia came into being on 1st January 1901 by Royal Proclamation after many, many conventions and individual efforts e.g. Sir Henry Parkes, and the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Australia came into being on 1st January 1901 by the Commonwealth Constitution Act of 1900 (UK). At first Australian Governments could not pass laws that conflicted with those of the United Kingdom. This was modified

by the Statute of Westminster (1931) and legal appeals to the Privy Council (UK) were transferred to High Court of Australia in the 1970s, with independence being gained in 1986. Under the Constitution the Federal Government has power over Defence, Trade and Currency, the states share certain powers, such as marriage, and have full power over health and education; except that state laws must not conflict with federal laws. The Constitution can only be changed by a referendum approved by both a majority of states and a majority of voters, and the present record is that only 8 out of 44 referenda have been passed. As in most states with this system, there is a separation of powers, the three sectors being independent of each other: The Legislative (Parliament makes the laws), the Executive (which administers the laws, dealt with in Australia by some leading members and public servants), and the Judiciary (which sees that the laws are correctly interpreted, including the High Court). Uniform taxation and the introduction of the GST means that federal income is paid to the states according to a set formula, mostly to use as they see fit, with tied and specific grants being allocated to specific works. The Federal Government, for instance, does not run a school or hospital but is dictates policy through tied grants, and each side can hold the other

responsible for faults. Jock then explained how voting with the preferential system Australia uses, particularly in smaller electorates with smaller numbers of voters can lead to strange results, but that compulsory voting, almost unique to Australia, was intended to make voters feel their vote was important. He touched on the inequality between male and female members of parliament, and lamented the good old days when anyone could be elected, from the people, instead of the more common situation today, where parliamentarians tend to be chosen from the educated elite, and become members with little electorial experience. Jock offered some suggestions to improve the system: 4 year terms, to allow a government the time to make changes, a minimum first count of votes for senate membership, and the states should receive untied grants to spend as they like. He concluded by quoting Winston Churchill: ““it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…” Thank you Jock – the length of question time should tell you something about how your talk was received; and to repeat what we always do, the way to be on the receiving end of these talks to join the club. Contact either Bob Weston (6452 7008) or Derek Watson (6457 1321) for further information.

the same calibre of nominees this year,” Mr Whelan said. Nominating for the scholarship is easy: • A nominee can be any male or female from a regional area of NSW keen to make a career in tourism and hospitality and is in need of assistance. • A nominee can already be working in the industry – at a hotel for example – or be someone looking to enter the hospitality industry. • A nominee can nominate themselves, or be nominated by an employer or someone else who thinks they would be a worthy recipient. • A nominee can be anyone due to complete their HSC at the end of 2015 or older. • Nominees can be under 18 at the time of application and choose to postpone study. • The winning applicant must be 18 at the commencement of study.

POST & RAIL

Wednesday September 2, 2015

the

postman calls

Welcome to spring, with trees starting to bloom, daffies nodding their lovely heads and the weather starting to warm up – a bit! Welcome also to lighter mornings, which allow we morning people to get stuff done before we traipse off to work. It won’t be long before we have daylight savings thrust upon us again, so, until we insist on a referendum to determine how long DS should be imposed, let’s enjoy being able to see in the early hours.

The Postman would like to remind motorists that there are usually other motorists on the road. Some of the impatient drivers who head through our town of weekends leave The Postman speechless. If ever there was a good place for a speed camera, it is at the Four Mile. It’s amazing how some motorists think 80kph is actually 100 or 120kph.

Turning into or out of the Adaminaby Road can be life-threatening, especially after lunch on Sundays!

Riposte Lisa Ashurst Daughter and Son-in-Law have been visiting today. Talk about the country shows and field days that Daughter could remember from her childhood brought the conversation around to my memories of Luna Park in Sydney where my cousins, sister and I spent many a fun-filled day or evening. Seriously, this was the place to go. Fairground-style junk food, fairy floss, laughter and more rides than you could poke a stick at. One of my favourite parts was Coney Island; a multi level structure at the end of the Park where we would spend ages going on all the things in there, like hurling at breakneck speed on a hessian bag down the giant wooden slippery dips, the spinning disk thing in the floor that would send us shooting off and sliding across the floor as it sped up, trying to stay on our feet as we travelled through the rotating barrel things that turned in opposite directions to each other and just a whole lot of great, great stuff. It was better than the Easter Show in my opinion and you got a whole lot more fun for your money too. Luna Park was where we discovered the Cha Cha, one of the best chuckyou-around rides we knew of at the time and the Octopus that carried us spinningly out over the water was every bit as squeal-worthy as it looked. Us girls (one cousin, my sister and I) also liked the Tumble Bug and the lot

of us were big fans of the Dodgem Cars. The thing about Luna Park was that you could revisit all the rides you liked the best and as the Park was enclosed, no one got lost (or not for long anyway) and it was more fun than you could possibly imagine. Just magical. But I wonder what it’s like now. I know Luna Park is still there and on the one hand I would love to go back again just to check it out and see if any of the same rides are still there. Mainly though, I’d like to know if Coney Island is still down the end of the Park along with all its original fun pieces. In the back of my mind I suspect that maybe not, as some of the things in there could be gone now thanks to the “Nanny State” fusspots. You know...”too dangerous” or something. Well, for the record, the six of us survived just fine, along with the scores of other kids who squealed their way through the place so who knows, maybe it’s all still there. On the other hand though, maybe I should just leave well enough alone and remember it as it was, just in case a quick flit into the past deposits me in some place I no longer recognise because the Luna Park of my childhood is no longer there, having been upgraded to within an inch of its life and with nothing of the old original left to tweak the nostalgia cells. And that would be really sad. I loved that place.

Raglan education sessions The Imants Tillers Wing of the Raglan Gallery rang with excited voices last Thursday when groups from Cooma North Primary School visited the NAIDOC exhibition. Armed with drawing exercises and questionnaires to complete, each group spent over an hour looking at and discussing the art and artefacts. For even the youngest children there was much delight in discovering landscape features and animals and discussing the meanings to be found in the art. An exercise to draw the ‘King’ breastplate which accompanied the Wiradjuri panels, prompted

discussions about the reasons for artefacts like it being created in the colonial era. Pastor Ossie Cruse - instantly recognisable from the portrait of him on display – created a special ‘brush with fame’ moment when he brought friends to the exhibition. There will be another NAIDOC exhibition in 2016. Between now and December the Raglan has a wide range of art and artists programmed for exhibition. Student groups of all ages are welcomed to all exhibitions throughout each year.

Cooma North’s Artrageous raises $3,000

Tyla Marshall and her detailed pencil drawing of an eye.

The Stage 3 Artrageous waiters handed out some yummy treats and drinks on the night.

Cooma North Public School held their annual Artrageous show last Wednesday evening, with 150 parents and supporters turning up for the fundraiser. Many commented that they had never seen the hall looking so good, with each student in the school contributing at least three pieces of artwork to the exhibition. Parents and attendees were able to participate in a silent auction for the

artworks, with the money raised going to supporting the arts program at the school. Will Dixon donated his time to the event, auctioning off three artworks donated by past and present staff members of the school. Collectively, these pieces sold for $975. The theme of the night, and for Book Week which was also held last week, was ‘Light up the World’.

The Mathematical Association of NSW (MANSW) visited Monaro High School last week to provide HSC students with a study session in the lead up to the exams. With lecturers travelling down from Sydney, this was the first time the students had access to this sort of resource at Monaro High School itself. Going over the entire HSC course for students of Extension Mathematics, Mathematics 2 and General Mathematics, the intensive study sessions were held over two days. The aim of the sessions

was to improve the students understanding of the course content and therefore lead to better results in the final mathematics examinations to be held in Term Four. The MANSW lecturers are experienced mathematics educators with extensive HSC experience. Having tried to organise the MANSW to come down to Cooma for several years, the sessions were a great success and well received by the students. The alternative would have been to travel to Sydney for the lectures, at huge expense to the school in terms of travel and accommodation.

Principal Belinda Jamieson said that the purpose of the Artrageous exhibition was to celebrate art, to raise much needed money for the school’s art resources and to strengthen the relationship between home and school. With works in all types of mediums, Mrs Jamieson also said that by exploring different techniques, the students were able to get a better understanding of themes and how to express their ideas.

Changing streetscape at JCS If you take a stroll along Park Road, Jindabyne you’ll notice some colourful changes to the streetscape. No longer will you look past the state-government issued demountable buildings dotted around Jindabyne Central School (JCS). Instead, your eye will be drawn to them. Gone is the landlord-beige paint. The buildings are now adorned in colourful street art. JCS Visual Art students have been working with professional street artists Geoff Filmer and Dan Maginnity (Byrd) to deliver a street artstyle mural at the school. The result is a colourful collaboration of graffiti art relaying a message about respect, responsibility and achieving your personal best. The theme of the art work is linked to JCS’s Positive Learning for Behaviour scheme. Images like the British “Bobby” hat and Mufusa from the Lion King movie portray respect while a painting of a camera is a reminder to be socially responsible. Year Nine and

10 students worked with the professional artists during Term Two to enhance their “Art on Walls” project, using face-to-face teaching to develop the design, work on stencilling techniques and deliver the final artwork. Year 10 student Ilja Kuhn said she learned a lot doing the project, especially how to turn graffiti into art. “I’m really proud that our art work is out there for everyone to see and it will remain part of the Jindabyne landscape,” Ilja said. JCS art teacher Jessica Whitley-Wright said she saw a huge improvement in her students’ skills. “It was great to see the student’s confidence improve as they mastered stencilling techniques and working on colour schemes to realise a finished product,” she said. “It is just fantastic. Working with professional artists to help guide this process was fun and informative.” The street art project was made possible through a Youth Opportunities grant secured by Snowy River Shire

Council. The project aimed to engage young people, develop art-related skills, increase connections between youth, the school, community and business, create a piece of public art that will add value and beauty to an empty space and reinforce that young people

make a valuable contribution to their school and our community. Pictured: Jindabyne Central School students working on the graffiti art project.

JCS awarded a silver grading at national choir eisteddfod Jindabyne Central School’s (JCS) junior choir has been awarded a silver grading at the Australian National Eisteddfod for Choirs in Canberra. In just its third year performing at the choral competition, JCS was handed a silver grading for the 10 years and under division, with Canberra Grammar School taking out first place honours, a gold grading and $200. A total of 59 JCS students from Years One and Two performed at the

Australian National University’s Llewellyn Hall on Friday, in what is one of the most highly regarded choral competitions in Australia. JCS students, who ranged in age from six to eight years, sang two contrasting own-choice pieces – Imagine a World by David Waggoner and If We’re Kind to Each Other by M.Corney. They have spent much of the year working on the songs. The choirs were judged by adjudicator Elizabeth

Scott, the musical director of the Sydney Philharmonia Youth Choir and associate conductor of the Sydney Chamber Choir. “It was great to see so many people enjoying singing,” Ms Scott said when presenting her awards. JCS Choir Coordinator Rosheen Nikora said it was a great chance for students from the country to experience performing on large stage under lights. “It’s wonderful for our children to have the opportunity to perform on stage before a large audience,” she said. “It’s

also a great chance for the children to see other choirs performing.” The JCS choir was accompanied by pianist Phil Horneman. Most students travelled by bus to Canberra on Friday, leaving Jindabyne before 7am to make it in time for their performance.

Monaro High Mufti Day

Year 12 Mufti Day at Monaro High School last Thursday. In the annual tradition, the Monaro High School year 12 students hosted their fundraising day last Thursday. In an effort to raise money for two charities, the year 12 students put on a mufti day where all students of the school were able to leave their uniforms at home. The year 12 class also put on a sausage sizzle for recess and lunch along with a cake stall, selling delicious treats that the students had made themselves. The year 12s got into the spirit and

dressed up in various costumes for the occasion. Throughout the year there have been other fundraising efforts put on by the year 12 students including sausage sizzles at the swimming and athletics carnival as well as selling flowers on Valentine’s Day. All money raised by the 73 year 12 students will be going to the Snowy Hydro South Care Helicopter service and a cancer related charity yet to be decided.

Key customer contacts for George says thank you, Cooma power outages Essential Energy is assisting customers who require electricity for medical life support equipment to be better prepared for unexpected power outages and have key emergency contacts on hand. As part of its commitment to customer service, Essential Energy has sent a brochure to its 16,700 registered life support customers with important information about their service and a fridge magnet to record key contact details that may be of use during a power outage. Acting regional manager South Eastern, Tony Ryan, said while Essential Energy aimed to provide a safe and reliable electricity supply to customers, unplanned power outages could still occur as a result of storms or other events. “We recommend that all our life support customers have a clear back-up plan in place

for how to operate critical medical equipment during a power outage,â€? Tony said. “Always ensure the backup battery of your medical equipment is fully charged and you have access to a phone that does not require a power supply. “Keep important contact information handy including the names, addresses and telephone numbers of your doctor, the nearest hospital, a neighbour or someone nearby who is willing to assist you.â€? Essential Energy advises life support customers to ensure their records are up to date with both their electricity distributor and retailer. Under the National Electricity Retail Rules, life support equipment is defined as any of the following: • an oxygen concentrator • an intermittent peritoneal dialysis machine • a kidney dialysis machine • a continuous positive

airway pressure respirator • crigler najjar syndrome phototherapy equipment • a ventilator for life support • any other equipment that a registered medical practitioner certifies is required for a person residing at the customer’s premises for life support “Occasionally, Essential Energy may need to contact a life support customer directly – such as during a prolonged power outage – so it’s important for us to maintain accurate phone records,â€? Tony said. “To update your records, including whether the life support equipment is no longer required, please contact us on 13 23 91.â€? Under the National Energy Customer Framework, Essential Energy provides life support customers with at least four business days’ written notice of a planned power outage.

Hard-working volunteer, George Bowden, competed in the recent City2Surf marathon, representing the Salvation Army. Here is what George reports from the event and the support he received from our local residents: Thank you for putting my appeal to the people of Cooma and district – their response was remarkable. I cannot thank them enough on behalf of the Salvation Army. Nor can the people that will benefit from the meals, clothing and even accommodation that this sort of money will provide. However, these generous people will know in their hearts that it will be a) put to god use and b) appreciated by the recipients. My responsibility to the donors and to the Salvation Army was to see that I participated in the City2Surf and to collect and bank any money that I received for the Army. This I did – the $1000 that you the people donated is now in the possession of the Salvation Army. Those people that donated on line will have received their receipts by email, the donations that were made to me I have the receipts and will distribute them as soon as possible. To those who might be interested, I did participate in the ‘run’ on August 9. I am still aching however I enjoyed it immensely. Might do it again.

My times? First 6km 60 min, last 6km, 58 min. ‘The Hill’ 24 min – all up 142 minutes. Once again, a big thank you to all the people that supported me. Cooma was the highest fundraiser for the Salvation Army. Congratulations. George Bowden Cooma

Berridale’s walk for William

YO U R TO W N

BERRIDALE & DALGETY

It’s hard to believe but September 12th 2015 will mark 12 months since fouryear-old William Tyrell went missing from the NSW mid north coast. To assist the Where’s William campaign that is being run by Bravehearts, local communities are being encouraged to hold a walk to keep William’s face and the fact that he is still missing in the minds of all Australians. Berridale local Annie O’Keeffe, is the coordinator of a walk that will commence at the Berridale Post Office on Saturday September 12 from 11am. Annie who also has a son named William decided early

on to get involved with the Where’s William campaign and organising a walk in Berridale was an easy decision to make. Fundraising efforts have commenced for the walk and anyone wanting to donate can do so via the Bravehearts official fundraising page or simply turn up on the day and donate. “We are encouraging as many local residents as are able to come along for the walk dressed in red and blue, the colours of Williams’s favourite super hero, Spiderman� Annie said “Or if you have a Spiderman suit or apparel, please wear it!�

Snowy River Interstate Landcare dinner celebration

An enthusiastic crowd gathered for the 2015 Snowy River Interstate Landcare Committee dinner at Bombala. Snowy River ILC is an independent network of Landcare Groups that covers the rural SE NSW and far East Gippsland of Victoria. As the only network to operate in both States, the Committee works hard to represent the interests of rural communities. Headlining the event were renowned guest speakers Dr Carole Hungerford, and Norm Smith. Dr Hungerford is a riveting speaker in the area of food quality, land health and preventing disorders from better nutrition. Her candid story of her own health journey gave some background for guests. Dr Hungerford’s underlying

message is to take an active interest in what you consume and to work closely with your own Doctor to gaining more information about your own health. Dr Hungerford also reminded farmers that they have a big responsibility to understand how soils influence food nutrition, and to continue adopting quality practices. Norm Smith, who was NSW Farmer of the Year in 2011, gave a detailed presentation. At Glenwood Merinos, his family has adopted rotational grazing. Paddocks are grazed for short periods of 3-5 days, then rested for up to 120 days. This has allowed him to use less chemicals, less

fertiliser and have less parasites in the flock. Norm reported that keeping detailed records and having less

Carole Hungerford.

input costs has allowed his farm profitability to increase. This in turn allows his family to invest in land improvements. Chairman Robert Belcher said …“It was great to see local people gather for a celebration of food and farming. Regrettably the localised flooding stopped a few disappointed people from attending. We exist to help our whole community and I am pleased that we were able to offer such a great occasion to our supporters, including musical entertainment by Jay Podger.” Mr Belcher also said that …“Commitment to sustainable land management, including to address threatening

weeds, is best achieved when local communities and landholders work together. Our network was established 26 years ago and we have always focused on local engagement and providing useful information to support our Member’s activities”. Mr Belcher indicated that rural Australia faces many challenges ironically at a time when agriculture and rural communities can provide many benefits to society. He stated …“Governments that recognise the value of rural communities will in fact benefit from greater productivity, wealth creation, and will also ease the pressures that now affect our cities. This helps the community to reinvest in agricultural improvements and to enhance the natural environment. It is this balance that our community network promotes”.

Game on! The psychology of auction sales BCBOLLER & COMPANY Patrick Nolan Head of Home Loans for industry super fund-owned bank ME shares tips to master the mind games to enjoy success at auction sales. “Auctions are highly emotive, pressure-cooker environments – and with good reason. The stakes are high with plenty of money on the line. Bidders may already have cash invested in the deal through pre-purchase inspections and legal fees; and there can be a real sense of completion between bidders, who all want to be ‘the winner’ of the auction contest. “Buckling under pressure could see you bidding beyond your budget. So the trick is to understand the psychology of auctions and develop your own strategy to maintain a cool head. Draw a line in the sand “The golden rule at auction sales is not to bid beyond your purchase budget – it’s something you could regret for some time. Having a conditional loan approval in place is a great way to know exactly how high you can afford to bid, and that makes conditional approval a vital tool in guiding your bidding decisions in the pressure cooker environment of an auction. Talk to your Bank Manager to organise conditional loan approval before you attend the auction. Do your research “It can be difficult to know exactly what a property will sell for at auction so don’t assume the selling agent’s estimate is bang on. Check out what similar properties have sold for in the area to get a

reasonable idea of fair market value. That way you won’t be shocked or disappointed when bidding goes beyond the figure quoted to you. “Good research can also help you employ the shock tactic of making a strong bid early on – like, say, offering $300,000 when the bidding is at $275,000. This strategy can help you eliminate a large number of bidders at any early stage.

Location, location, location: According to the Investor Survey, 59% of investors believe purchasing in the right suburb and street is a key factor when choosing a property. Indeed, buying a property that is ideally located is imperative as it can help ensure you always have tenants and achieve strong capital growth.

Forget FOMO “Be aware of the FOMO factor – the ‘fear of missing out’. Sure, the property may seem perfect for you, but if you miss out on this one, it’s a sure bet that another home will come onto the market that sees you fall in love all over again. This is especially worth bearing in mind as bidding climbs higher and all eyes in the crowd may be on you. Don’t be afraid to back down. Be assertive “Your body language is important at auction. Use a firm clear voice when you make bids – and bear in mind, you can dictate the size of your bid. If the auctioneer says he will take bids in increments of $1,000, calling a bid for $5,000 can show you are a serious buyer. Alternatively, bid in small increments to slow bidding down.

Consider professional help “If you have concerns about bidding beyond your budget, or if you’re just not confident about buying at auction, consider using a buyer’s agent to bid on your behalf.�

The keys to property investment A majority of Australian investors are motivated to buy property for financial reasons, new data has revealed. According to Mortgage Choice’s 2015 Investor Survey, 76% of investors said they bought their investment property to ‘set themselves up financially for the future’. Speaking about the results, Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said with vacancy rates low and property prices on the rise, property investment can be a very lucrative investment strategy provided it is done well. “So long as Australians buy the right investment property, property investment can be a great way for someone to future proof their wealth,� he said. “Of course, finding the right investment property can seem like a daunting task – especially for first time buyers. To make the process easier, it is important to know what key factors all investment properties should have.� To help Australians hunting in the market, Mortgage Choice has revealed the ‘keys’ to successful property investment:

Ph: 6452 4155

Revisit finances: Most people realise that establishing a finance strategy is an important first step to buying property. However, some buyers fail to revisit that strategy during the house hunting process – which can take upwards of six months. While you may have been pre-approved for finance earlier in the year, recent changes to investment lending policy and pricing may affect your ability to finalise your finances come settlement. Remember to keep your finance strategy front of mind and double-check any financial advice you’ve received before placing an offer on a property.

Affordable Quality

2 Denison Street, Cooma

In demand: Buying an investment property that is close to things like public transport, restaurants, cafes and educational institutions is always a good idea as it will help ensure you earn top dollar and keep the property occupied. Tenants love to be close to the action, so it is important to make sure your investment property is as well. Know your numbers: Do your research on population growth, average rental income and vacancy rates, in the areas that interest you. The more you know your numbers, the easier you will it will be to buy a property that meets your needs. Repairs and renovations: Keep your eyes peeled for any maintenance or renovations a property requires. From the first inspection it is important to weigh up quick and easy fixes, which will boost your rental income or capital growth, over those that will be more costly and timely.

Call to researchers to save honey bees 46TH ANNUAL ON PROPERTY SALE

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 4, 2015

Lot 8 Gunyah Atom J158 s. Sevenbardot Mclarty E260

Honey bees are essential for the pollination of about one third of the food we eat including fruit, vegetables, oils, seeds and nuts - yet their health and ability to pollinate our crops is under serious threat. To help tackle this worldwide problem, CSIRO is leading the Global Initiative for Honey bee Health - an international collaboration of researchers, beekeepers, farmers, industry, and technology companies aimed at better understanding what is harming bees and finding solutions to help secure crop pollination. Integral to the research effort are microsensors that are manually fitted to bees (pictured) which work like a vehicle e-tag system, with strategically placed receivers identifying individual bees and recording their movements in and around bee hives. “The tiny technology allows researchers to analyse the effects of stress factors including disease, pesticides, air pollution, water contamination, diet and extreme weather on the movements of bees and their ability to pollinate,” Professor Paulo de Souza, CSIRO Science Leader, said. “We’re also investigating what key

factors, or combination of factors, lead to bee deaths on mass.” “The sensors, working in partnership with Intel technology, operate in a similar way to an aeroplane’s black box flight recorder in that they provide us with vital information about what stress factors impact bee health.” As bees are normally predictable creatures, changes in their behaviour indicate stress factors or a change in their environment. By modelling bee movement researchers can help identify the causes of stress in order to protect the important pollinating work honey bees do and identify any disease or other biosecurity risks. CSIRO Pollination Researcher, Dr Saul Cunningham, said Australia has been very lucky, so far, to be the only country that doesn’t have the devastating Varroa mite, which has wiped out bee colonies overseas at an alarming rate. “This puts Australia in a good position to act as a control group for research on this major issue that could one day become our problem too,” Dr Cunningham said.

Applications open for environmental restoration and rehabilitation grants Community organisations and councils in the Monaro are encouraged to apply for a share in the NSW Government’s $5.3 million Restoration and Rehabilitation Grants Program. The Member for Monaro John Barilaro said the funding will help run projects designed to protect and repair local environments. “This grants program aims to restore degraded environmental resources, including rare and endangered ecosystems, protect important ecosystems and habitats of rare and endangered flora and fauna, as well as preventing or minimising future environmental damage,” said Mr Barilaro.

However, Australia’s horticulture and agricultural industries are particularly vulnerable to declines in honey bee populations as they rely on un-managed feral honey bees for much of their crop pollination. “Our managed bee pollination services would be hard-pressed to meet the extra demand required to replace the key role un-managed honey bees play so, the outcome would likely be a drop in crop production and a rise in prices of popular food staples like fruit and veggies,” Dr Cunningham said. The international initiative is being mounted to assist in uniting the efforts of those working in the critical area of protecting bee health. “The time is now for a tightly-focused, well-coordinated national and international effort, using the same shared technology and research protocols, to help solve the problems facing honey bees worldwide before it is too late,” Professor de Souza said.

“The fund includes $2 million available to community and not for profit organisations across the state; $2 million for government entities and a further $1.3 million is available for owners and managers of NSW State Heritage Register listed properties.” Applications for grants of $5,000 to $100,000 close on Friday, 18 September 2015. Grants are available for projects where work is carried out over a period of up to three years. For details visit: environment.nsw.gov.au/grants/restoration.htm

Electronic tags could spell chaos for cross border sheep trade NSW Farmers President Derek Schoen has warned Victorians not to spend money on a system which could spell chaos for cross border sheep trade. The association said that the Victorian Government appeared to make an ‘announcement-by-stealth’ last week that would force sheep farmers to electronically tag their animals. Victorian farmers are not supportive of mandatory electronic tagging nor are their NSW and South Australian neighbours. Mr Schoen said that a go-it-alone Victorian system could spell chaos for

Victoria, as it had in Europe when it was implemented there. “Cross-border trade would be affected and Victoria may well find it experiences market shortages,” he said. On Wednesday last week, the Victorian Auditor-General tabled a report in parliament that outlined that the state had experienced a significant decline in livestock surveillance activities of 39 per cent between 2011-12 and 2014-15, in line with the cuts to core front-line staff. Mr Schoen said that while Victoria did have serious gaps in its system, a

mandatory electronic radio-frequency identification (eRFID) program was not the answer. “The Victorian Government should be addressing the real issues such as fully implementing the existing system and ensuring that farmers understand how to fill in their National Vendor Declarations (NVDs),” he said. “Our position is clear. We don’t think there is anything wrong with the current system. Compliance in NSW is well above 90 percent which is robust for biosecurity.” NVD accuracy improved to around 98 percent in some saleyards in NSW during compliance activity conducted in 2013. Mr Schoen said: “If the Victorians are looking for a new system, they need only look across the border.” “An electronic tag does not guarantee a more robust biosecurity system – as every IT geek will tell you: if you don’t put the correct information in, you are not likely to get the correct information out. Garbage in, garbage out,” he concluded.

Unique Hogget Ram Competition to draw in the crowds at Wellington A FIELD DAY featuring Merino lamb cooking demonstrations and a unique Hogget Ram Competition will highlight the commercially in-demand characteristics of the advanced Soft Rolling Skin (SRSŽ) Merino next month. Hosted by the SRS Group at the Wellington Showgrounds, Wellington, New South Wales on Thursday the 10th of September, the second annual event is set to attract commercial and stud Merino and crossbred operators from across the country. “We ran the first field day last year with 18 SRSŽ studs from Queensland, Victoria, NSW and South Australia participating. It was a great day that received a lot of very positive feedback and saw some 400 visitors through the gates,� said Norm. The SRSŽ Hogget Ram Competition is oneof-a-kind event in Australia, with rams judged on breeding values (ASBV’s), wool quality, predicted processing performance with regard to density and fibre length and the visual appraisal of feet structure, pigment, shape and hocks. “The competition originally came about as an opportunity to display to the public, examples of Merino sheep that have been bred (genetically redesigned) by SRSŽ Merino stud breeders from across Australia into a completely new animal. “Additionally, the competing rams are all run along commercial lines – there is no shedding of sheep and 100 percent of breeders use ASBVs, making it a unique and highly useful competition for the broader industry,� explained Chief SRSŽ Scientist and Competition Judge Dr Jim Watts.

“The Merinos produced under this type of breeding and management is a plain bodied and environmentally fit sheep, paddock reared, with visually high and measurably high levels of wool fibre density and length on completely plain bodied animals (no skin wrinkle) that is naturally resistant to fleece rot and fly strike, does not need to be mulesed, is easy to shear, can be shorn twice yearly at combing lengths (80 to 100 mm),

weans 120 to 130 % of lambs with high lamb survival, and has exceptional carcase traits (validated by leading ASBVs for early body growth, eye muscle depth and fat cover).� “In simple terms,� he said, “it is identifying and recognising sheep with the key profit drivers for making more money with

Kaludah Herefords Breed for Quality

less inputs – and wool quality is a very important part of this equation.� Last year’s winner was Poll Merino ram 130579, owned by Trevor Ryan, Richmond Merinos, Quandialla, which scored a perfect 50/50 in the fleece section of the competition. “The ram showed very high quality fleece over soft, supple, thin skin. This high quality, wrinkle free skin allowed for a free growing wool that was white all over, very long stapled and very well aligned,� said Trevor. The winning Poll Merino ram was judged in the wool quality category on fibre elasticity, softness, smoothness and whiteness – an appraisal unique to the competition. According to Dr Watts, the ram’s fibre density and fibre length were very high by industry standards at 88 follicles per square millimetre, and 0.65 millimetres per day respectively. “Its primary fibre diameter is remarkable at 11.7 microns, and its secondary fibre diameter very fine at 16.8 microns. This was a fleece grown in seven months, highlighting the real results being achieved by breeders,� he commented. Trevor noted that all of his SRSŽ Merinos (stud and commercial) ran under commercial conditions and a combination of ASBVs and visual appraisal has been used to drive flock development. “It’s the only way to go, no matter what you’re chasing,� says Trevor, “we have found that putting pressure on positive ASBVs for fleece weight whilst maintaining micron – and visually assessing for wool quality, style, colour and handle – has led us to breeding sheep that have excellent fleece traits without compromise to carcass traits,� he explained. Another highlight of the Field Day will be the Merino Lamb cooking demonstrations, run in two sessions over the course of the day by well-known Mudgee Chef Rebecca Sutton and Wellington butcher Rodney Dowton. The cooking demonstrations will offer spectators a “unique look at Merino sheepmeat; it’s depth of flavour, comparison to crossbred meat and cooking approaches using secondary and tertiary – as well as prime – cuts in recipes from yesteryear with a modern twist,� said Rebecca. “When I work with Merino meat versus crossbred meat, I liken the difference in flavour to a vintage red wine compared with a new release; each has their purpose and value, but the Merino certainly lends itself to a wide range of cooking styles.� Guests taking in the cooking demonstrations will first view the carcase being prepared by butcher Rodney Dowton – “a very special sight to behold�and then follow (and taste!) the culinary journey through the preparation of modern and classic dishes such as bone broth and slow cooked Merino neck chops, over the course of the two sessions. “We will be challenging the audience’s preconceptions about some of the lesser utilised cuts, and allowing them to fully experience the Merino’s unique flavours, textures and nutrition benefits,� she explained. Visitors to the Field Day will also have the opportunity to view trade exhibits, including animal handling equipment, yarding and infrastructure manufacturers, technology and animal management software, Merino clothing and textiles, and animal health companies.

Legacy week in Cooma For each serving Australian who risks everything – a family does the same. Australians will have the chance to show their support for these very special families by buying a badge during Legacy Week, August 30 to September 5, 2015. Keep an eye out on Sharp Street in front of Centennial Plaza this week, and at the old Sports Power store location on Friday morning at 9.30am to support Legacy. As one of Australia’s most iconic charities, Legacy grew out of the ashes of the Great War and still supports around 90,000 families of Defence personnel who have given their lives or their health for their country. Legacy Australian Chairman, Mr David Gray, said the families of the dedicated men and women who serve their country deserve the recognition of their sacrifice and the support of all

Australians. He said a promise to look after the “missus and the kids” made by diggers in WW1 to their mates who had fallen continues at the heart of what Legacy does today. He also acknowledged the support of the Chief of the Australian Defence Force, Air Marshal Mark Binskin and that of the Australian Defence Force for this year’s appeal. “For each serving Australian who risks everything, a family does the same, and when Legacy is needed it is ready to provide support,” he said. “Legacy cares for widows and dependants ranging in age between 3 weeks and 109, with all sharing the heartache of losing a loved one – either physically or mentally – which can last a lifetime. “When you see a badge seller in the street during Legacy Week please help us help the families in need and buy a badge.”

Season over for Lady Tigers

Just missing out on getting into the semi finals, the Division 2 Lady Tigers have wrapped up the season for 2015. With new coach Mark Burke on their side, the girls feel they did the best they could throughout the season. Having lost a few players at the end of last season, there were some new faces on the Tigers team this time around, giving the team a fresh take on their game. However, one of their biggest challenges was the lack of a full time goalkeeper throughout the season. Mid fielder Annika Jones said that this was one of the factors that let them down during their games. “Not having a full time goalie did let us down a bit in terms

Cats couldn’t contain Cootamundra

The Cooma Cats were up against it in their preliminary final against Cootamundra Blues at Cootamundra last Saturday. After a long drive to Coota, the Cats faced a very skilled and confident team on its own turf. But, a determined Cats team played competitively and proudly, but were unable to contain what is probably the most skilled team in the league. The final score - Coota 18 10 118 to Cooma 7 3 45- does not reflect the effort

or commitment of the Cooma side. Coota now meets Goulburn in the grand final.

Cricket NSW Blues Players at Macca’s Cooma

NSW Blues players Sean Abbott and Harry Conway, are inviting Cooma cricketers to don their cricket whites, grab their bat and head to McDonald’s Cooma to take part in a carpark cricket game on Thursday 3rd September from 6:30pm. The two players will be making an appearance at McDonald’s Cooma as part of their participation in the Toyota Country Blitz; an initiative to help promote the sport in regional areas and encourage boys and girls of all ages to sign up and play for their local club this summer. As the Major Community Partner of Cricket NSW 2014 – 2015 season, McDonald’s restaurants across the state will team up with their respective

local cricket clubs to encourage active participation in the sport. “I’m excited to be joining forces with local cricket heroes Sean Abbott and Harry Conway to help increase participation in one of the great Australian sports here in Cooma. I encourage local cricket fans, young and old, to come and meet some of NSW’s most talented cricketers and take part in the fun cricket activities we have planned,” said McDonald’s Cooma Licensee Nicole Carmichael. As part of the partnership with Cricket NSW, McDonald’s will continue to support recipients of the Cricket NSW Facility Grants program, which over $5.8 million worth of facility upgrades delivered for

grassroots cricket across the state during the 2014/15 season. Local McDonald’s restaurants will partner with their local cricket clubs to host sign-up days and events to encourage active participation in the sport. McDonald’s junior cricketer of the week will be awarded during the upcoming cricket season across both metropolitan and regional NSW; recognising and rewarding promising young cricketers. Cricket NSW General Manager of Commercial Operations and Communications, Brett Richardson, sees the partnership as a great fit between the two organisations. “We’re delighted to again team up with

McDonald’s to help promote cricket in regional areas across NSW. The Country Blitz allows Cricket NSW to engage with our grassroots players and fans throughout the state, all while promoting active and healthy lifestyles, and encouraging more people to play Australia’s favourite sport,” said Brett. “As well as the Blitz, Cricket NSW will again be rewarding some of the best young cricketers in the state by continuing the McDonald’s Junior Cricketer of the week, a program which acknowledges some truly remarkable performances by young players from all over NSW.” For more information or to find your local cricket club, visit www.cricketnsw.com.au.

Grants available for local sport and recreation projects Grants of up to $1 million are now available to help upgrade local sport and recreation facilities through the ClubGRANTS Category 3 program, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro said today. “Sport and recreation is part of our State’s social fabric and the

NSW Government is investing in facilities for the community to enjoy for generations to come,” Mr Barilaro said. “I encourage our local clubs and councils to get their applications together to have the best chance of receiving a funding injection.

“Particular emphasis will be placed on projects that benefit disadvantaged and regional and remote communities in this program round. “Through this grants scheme the NSW Government recently provided $110,000 in funding to support the development of universal play facilities at the Lake Jindabyne Foreshore Recreation Area.” “On top of funding for sport and recreation infrastructure, $2 million for emergency relief facilities and $2.5 million for cultural infrastructure annually for the next four years is available

through separate rounds opening in the coming months.” Deputy Premier Troy Grant said the funding program will provide a much needed boost to sport and recreation facilities in local communities right across the State. “The NSW Government knows local sports grounds and facilities are just as important as our major stadiums and are vital to a healthy community,” Mr Grant said. Expressions of interest for sport and recreation grants are now open until October 2015. Applications will be assessed by the independent ClubGRANTS Fund committee made up of

representatives from Sport NSW, Clubs NSW, Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing, Arts NSW, Office of Regional Development and sporting associations. Approved applicants will be invited to lodge formal applications by 16 December 2015 and successful projects will be announced early next year.

Colts U15s win through to grand final Minor premiers under 15’s Service One Alliance Banking travelled to Canberra on Sunday to take on West Belconnen in the Major Semi final. The boys all arrived in strong form with lots of determination to win. Taking the field the boys knew they would have to use all their strength, skill and determination to win against the oposing team. West Belconnen were quick to come out and score the first try, but Bill Zammit was first to find the try line after barging through the opposition and bounding over the line, Lachlan Inskip converting. Great defence in Joel Saville, Sean Dixon and James Hill helped keep the West Belconnen from making many metres. West Belconnen found the try line again before half time leaving the score 12 points to 6 points in their favour. A big pep talk from coach Richard Inskip saw the boys come out in the second half with a more determined attitude, even though West Belconnen were to score the next try, Noah Mylan, Matthew Chelin, Liam Rankin and Jack Reid, tackled brilliantly as well as the runs from Will Saddler, Declan Gregory and Remy Oldrey. With the play right on the try line Jak

Adams was able to dive between players to score, Lachlan Inskip converting. Bryce and Koby Watts had an outstanding game today with some great tackles and defence all round. With the score 18 all 12 the boys took the tap and on the last tackle Liam Rankin put the ball up across field and James Cahill took the ball in mid air and scored, with Lachlan Inskip converting. With less than five minutes to go, the boys received a penalty right in front, going against the coaches order of “take the 2”, Bill Zammit got the ball and barged over to score the try. With West Belconnen kicking off short and retrieving the ball and racing towards the try line Lachlan Jones intersepted and was trackled right on the bell leaving the final score 24 points to 18 points, and taking the Cooma Colts through to the grand final.

The game was a great team effort with no one giving up and making it so hard to pick player of the match, all boys received it. Thank you to Marlene Bottom, Pete Mylan, Tammy Bryne and Anita Reid. The under 15’s would like to thank their

sponsor Service One Alliance Banking for their sponsorship this year, they have worn your jersey with pride. Also a big thank you to their hoodie sponsors, Flanagan’s Transport and Monbeef.

U12 Colts outmanned by Roos The Mainstreet Cooma Colts U12 played the Queanbeyan Roos in a battle royal for a place in the Grand Final. The much bigger Roos powered through the Colts who really tried their hearts out. Tynan McKenzie and Lachie Brill fought hard in attack making tough metres and tackling relentlessly. Darcy Clark and Lachie McGufficke produced many options in attack. Darcy having his best game of the year making great charges at the Roos defence. Lachlan tried everything to create a gap in the line. Clinton Filtness and Colby McDonald came alive in the second half with some weaving runs and determined defence. Hudson Laird and Travis Kelly were strong out wide with some determined runs, while also trying to control the Roos attackers. Jesse Eljuga and Jonah Perea moved up in defence well to try and cut down the length of the oppositions devastating runs. Jesse tried hard, getting strong passes away. Jonah produced a good kick to get the ball back off the restart of the second half.

Alex Aitkenhead and Jayden Donald Smith gave it their all. Alex producing great passes out of dummy half and Jayden doing the hard runs out of their own half. Adam Constance and Lachie Hemphill ran bravely to take on the bigger bodied boys. Adam made some strong runs out wide and Lachlan showed some fancy footwork to evade the opposition. In the end the Roos were too big and strong on the day. Best of luck next week boys! Medal went to Darcy Clark 3 points Tynan McKenzie, 2 points Lachie Brill, 1 point Lachie McGufficke.

Red Devils U16s too good for Vikings

Sports power under 16 Red Devils were victorious in Saturday’s grand final defeating Tuggeranong Vikings 19-5. The Devils went into the game as underdogs as Vikings hadn’t lost a game all season and had beaten the Devils twice. But coach Peter Ingram knew his team was good enough and was very confident the Devils could win with all his players fit and available. It was evident right from the kick-off that the Devils were here to play, their driving defence and effort at the breakdown had Vikings back-pedalling and something they weren’t used to, with by far the largest forward pack in the competition usually able to dominate. At the five minute mark the Devils were attacking Vikings line when Will Moore barged over for the opening try, the conversion was unsuccessful and the Devils lead 5-0. For the next 15 minutes the game was played inside the Devils half, Vikings seemed to have all the possession and launched raid after raid on the Devils try line only to be held up

or driven back. The Devils try line defence was outstanding and the Vikings threw everything at them when their big forwards couldn’t break the line. They spun the ball wide only to have the Devil’s backs cut them down. This frustrated Vikings and is probably where the Devils won the game. With only a minute to go in the first half the Devils had made their way back to Vikings end of the field and from a tap spun the ball wide, Jackson Stewart through a dummy stepped through the Vikings defence and placed the ball under the posts. James Cahill converted and the Devils led 12-0 at halftime The second half saw the Devils pinned in their own half again with Vikings desperate to score but same as the first the Devils defence was again rock solid and relentless. The Vikings tried everything they could but couldn’t find a way over the Devils try line.

The Devils were really on top of the Vikings now at the breakdown, with their stinging defence and pushing them off the ball in the scrums. When the Devils had the ball they looked dangerous and likely to score. Their backline was really starting to test the Vikings defence and went close a couple of times before Lachy Jones scored in the corner and conversion by James Cahill gave Devils a 19-0 lead. Vikings scored off a penalty tap just before the full time siren sounded, but they had been completely outplayed by a very committed Devils team. The whole Devils team played superbly well and it was testament to how they committed and combined as one unit to keep a much bigger Vikings side scoreless till the last minute of the game. Congratulations to Jake Hedger who had a great game and was rewarded with the man of the match and to all the players and coaching staff on a great end to a fantastic season.

Red Devils U14s joint premiers The CRT Cooma under 14s had a courageous victory on Saturday against Canberra Vikings. Vikings were playing good rugby as Cooma had next to no ball in the first half, as Vikings scored out wide and converted. Cooma hit back with Keegan Caldwell who has been a try scoring machine this season scoring his 18th try from 13 games to dive over the line. The game was a stop start affair with the referee blowing plenty of penalties. Vikings again found space and crashed over the try line. Cooma went into the half time break down 14 to 5. With a stern reminder at halftime to stay positive and to believe in themselves, Cooma were starting to gain more possession in the second half with better ball retention from the lineout and more drive in the scrum. Cooma were getting lots of encouragement from the strong contingent of Cooma supporters trying to get the boys home. Cooma were doing plenty of tackling with Daniel Stove and Jimmy Hayden leading the way in defence. Vikings again managed to find a way through to take the score to 19-5 with six minutes to play. Bailey Rogers made a break down the side line with the fullback to beat, offloaded to Colby Evans who showed great support play to crash over in the corner. This being a crucial kick Bailey was able to convert from the sideline hitting the post and bouncing through. Score now Vikings 19Cooma 12. Cooma were lifting and you could feel the momentum shift in the match as Cooma

were finishing the stronger. With time just about up Cooma put a few phases together well inside Vikings half with the crowd spurring them on. Remey Oldrey went on a inspired run, beating a couple of Vikings players and dragging a defender with him as he wrapped himself around the goal posts. The referee paused for a moment to see

premiers. This was a massive effort from the Cooma boys who lost prop Nick Cootes during the week with injury, and started the match with three under 13s players Will Cahill, Aramas Fitzgerald and Zac van der Platt, coming off the bench. Coach Aron Rogers said this was an exceptional performance from the team

if he was ok , as he emerged the ball was planted at the base of the posts referee awarding the try to the delight of Cooma supporters. Bailey converted in front. Final score 19 all as there is no extra time in this age group. Cooma and Vikings were awarded joint

and was very proud of his players on how they never gave up and kept on believing in their ability as a team, and said it was a true testament to this side’s character. A great result and a rewarding effort for a fantastic season.. Photos on this page by Tony Sergo.

LOOK WHAT’S HAPPENING

AT THE CLUB! Cooma Golf report by Garry Atkinson The week of golf just gone has seen some difficult scoring on a very slow golf course but with the greens holding well and running true golfers still enjoyed the challenge of the game. With the rain all but washing out Wednesdays competition any run the fairways had to offer has disappeared. On Saturday the club saw the Centenary Cup held with ex-member Daryl Hagger winning the event (A grade as well) with a 71 nett. Runner up was Brian Searl with 72 nett. B grade was won by Richard Hanna with a 74 nett from Tony Perry with a 75 nett. and in C grade Heikki Evans was our winner with 74 nett. Runner up was Doug Parker with a 75 nett. Our ladies Centenary Cup winner was Marilynne Weston with an 80 nett with Division one being taken out by Gaye Wilson with 86 nett. Ball winners went to 77 nett. Just gives you some idea of the course difficulty. Longest drives were taken out by smooth swinging powerhouse Dave Goggin – A grade. Roy Hankinson again won B grade and Greg Abraham - C grade. Gaye Wilson took out the ladies’ long drive. Nearest the pin on the ninth was won by Tony Clibborn only 10cm away from a hole in one and Steven Wheatley hit a nice shot on the 11th. Sunday saw round 10 of the Super Stableford played and with this being the final round, results for the final will be on the noticeboard ASAP. On the day Lorraine McGregor came up a winner with a fine 34 points from Col Langdon with 32 points in what can only be described as (once again) a very long course. Ball winners went down to Jeff Burgess with 30 points. Last Wednesday August 26, a single stableford saw Geoff Bohringer hit form with a solid 31 points to win the event (on a countback) from Simon Allen also with 31 points. Ball winners went down to 29 points. Next Wednesday’s competition is an individual medley stableford for members and guests. Saturday sees the September monthly medal stroke event and Sunday has scheduled an individual stableford medley. See you on the course.

STATE CHAMPION

Cooma’s James ‘Boo’ Ewart has become a state shooting champion over the weekend. James flew to Perth last Wednesday to shoot in the Australian Cup number four. After a close tussle with rival (and friend) Tom Turner, James placed second in the

event last Friday. He and Tom flew back to Sydney on Friday night and drove to Newcastle on Saturday to contest the state titles. With only about an hour’s sleep each, the rivals once again had a close competition

with James winning the championship with 26/30, from Tom’s 23/30. James has now qualified for the Oceania Championships in November. From there he hopes to have made the cut for Olympic qualifications.
