Something else to love about Cooma - Community The Monaro Committee for Cancer Research’s (mcCr) Strictly Musical came together in spectacular form for all three performances last Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at the Cooma Multi-Function Centre. Six unique acts staring a total of 37 local ‘celebrity’ dancers took to the stage to perform Thriller, Grease, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, The Jersey Boys, Mamma Mia and Chicago. The clever choreography, costumes, lighting, music and absolute commitment to learning the dance steps was rewarded as the crowd cheered on the local stars. Hosts Tim Sparkle (aka Nigel Griffiths) and Jim Walker-Broose together with judges Rosie O’Sullivan, Lisa Brookes and Kayla Bogatek kept the crowd entertained. ‘Our community is incredible, it never ceases to amaze me’, said mcCr President Sandy Schofield, ‘these dancers, our committee and this community came together to raise an incredible $175,800 before the performance events through fundraising activities, the car raffle and donations in boxes all over the region. We expect this figure to increase to more than $200,000 once the figures are finalised.

This money will go to help cancer patients and their families across our three shires – Bombala, Snowy River and Cooma Monaro as part of our Financial Assistance Scheme. ‘Cancer can strike anyone at anytime, it has no boundaries and our community is united in support for our local people with cancer and in the fight against it. Everyone from across the region comes together for this event and this cause and that is what makes this incredibly special’, Sandy said. ‘Over the past 12 weeks these dancers have taken us all on a whirlwind journey all over the world - from the wrong side of the tracks in New Jersey to Rydell High, out back Australia, to the Greek Islands, the Museum of Michael Jackson and the stage in Chicago… they have laughed, danced and celebrated and along the way

they have bought so much joy to the lives of so many people. We can’t thank the dancers and choreographers enough for their absolute commitment.’ Cooma resident Mark Maes won the Hyundai i20, generously donated by High Country Automotive, although his wife didn’t believe it until he picked it up on Monday morning! The mcCr worked tirelessly in the background to take the vision to reality and bring the whole event together. The team together with the

Cooma Lions Club transformed the venue with banners of colour from the ceiling and walls of silver. Special thanks to the Cooma Car Club team for organising and running the bar and to everyone who joined the committee to help delivery 1400 meals and endless drinks over the three events. Thank you to the talented backstage crew for their work in the sound, lighting, costumes and sets – another perfect performance. Since its inception in 1996 mcCr has been instrumental in

developing an Oncology Unit in Cooma, providing essential equipment for this facility, training for nurses, support for local families under FAS and significant contributions to cancer research projects. Pictured, Michael Meas won the Hyundai 120 donated by High Country Automotive.

Councils to consult communities

Kids at Jindabyne Central School (JCS) are making the most of the first day of winter, spending the morning tobogganing, playing in the snow and throwing snowballs. Some students had to make the journey to school on skidoos and over-snow transport and many living on outlaying properties were a little late to class due to the heavy snow falls.

The three Local Government areas across the region are embarking on a consultation process with their communities to discuss possible mergers. The Snowy River Shire Council (SRSC) called a public forum meeting at the Berridale hall last Saturday to discuss the Fit For the Future (FFTF) scheme put forward by the NSW Government. About 30 people turned up to the community consultation, which was moderated by local government manager, Martin Bass. The meeting was an opportunity for community members to ask questions and provide feedback to the SRSC in regards to their preference to stand alone rather than merge with Cooma and Bombala councils. The general consensus among the community members present was to agree with SRSC’s preferred position. General Manager Joe Vescio encouraged the community to provide as much feedback to council as possible. He said that unfortunately, the timeframes they have been given are extremely tight. “Although there have been many delays in the process, the due date for our application has remained the same,” he said “Unfortunately, we are being forced to have rushed conversations with the community to make semi-informed decisions.”

Coroner’s inquest into missing Canadian bushwalker

From last Tuesday to Thursday, a coroner’s inquest was held at Cooma court into the disappearance of Prabhdeen Srawn. Srawn went missing in the Kosciuszko National Park on May 14, 2013. It is believed that the 25-year-old left the Charlotte Pass Village to climb Mt Kosciuszko and got caught in some bad weather. Although setting out in mild conditions on the day of his disappearance, the court heard that Srawn would have been later caught in high winds and snowfall of 30cm. These conditions would have reduced visibility to only a few metres and walking tracks could easily have been lost. The court also heard that Srawn was believed to have been wearing only jeans, t-shirt and possibly two light jackets, which would have been insufficient in the blizzard conditions. Travelling alone and not having told anyone of his plans, authorities were alerted to his disappearance only because police found his abandoned rental vehicle. This was five days after Srawn had set out for his bushwalk. Following an examination of his laptop, police found searches in his browser history of walking tracks at the Main Range, Mt Kosciuszko and Mt Townsend. Going off mobile phone data with the help of a Vodafone representative, Srawn was believed to have been somewhere around

the Western side of Mt Townsend on the day he disappeared. However the search, ending on May 31, 2013, found no trace of the young man. Srawn’s family were not present at the inquest last week, however counsel read a submission sent from them indicating that they still held hopes of finding their missing son. Calling for further searches of areas that were considered inaccessible at the time of the original search, the family submitted, “Miracles do happen”. However considering all the evidence, the recommendation from the counsel assisting was that Srawn be declared legally deceased as a result of misadventure. In their final submissions, counsel stated that there was nothing contradictory in the evidence before the court, and that the search for Srawn was carried out in accordance with protocol. Counsel stressed that the main message that should be taken from Srawn’s unfortunate disappearance is the importance of telling someone your intended route and estimated time of return when bushwalking. Educating park users about being prepared with equipment, the dynamic weather conditions and the lack of visibility in snow conditions were also mentioned as a means to avoiding future tragedies such as this one. The final decision of the coroner has been reserved and adjourned to the coroner’s court in Glebe to occur within the month.

One of the main concerns of the community members present was the possibility of rate increases in order to meet the FFTF benchmarks. Mr Vescio indicated that this was certainly a possibility, although SRSC is also looking at alternative ways to address infrastructure backlog. These include identifying SRSC land that could be released as well as shared services with the other councils. Further community consultations took place in Adaminaby and Jindabyne this week, with the final one on tonight at Dalgety hall from 6.30pm. There will also be a telephone survey conducted to gain more feedback from residents of the Snowy River Shire over the coming weeks. Cooma-Monaro Shire Council also met in a closed meeting last week, deciding to place their business reports regarding the FFTF merger proposal on the Council website for the community to consider. Community consultations took place at Michelago on Monday night and Bredbo on Tuesday night, with another being held at Nimmitabel hall at 6pm this evening, and the final at 6pm on Thursday at Cooma library. The councils’ final application to the NSW government is due on June 30.

Lake Jindabyne trail re-opened Snowy River Shire Council and Snowy Hydro are pleased to announce that the Lake Jindabyne Shared Trail linking Jindabyne to Tyrolean Village is now open and available to ride or walk. Works to remediate asbestos contamination at Copper Tom Point are complete. All works have been completed under a detailed Asbestos Management Plan in accordance with the relevant public health guidelines. A Clearance Certificate for the site has been issued by an accredited asbestos assessor. Volunteers from the Jindabyne Trail Stewardship have re-built the shared trail outside of the previously contaminated area. The shared trail will now go up to the top of the water pump station access road then link into the pines area near the bridge, at the Jindabyne Dam wall. Council and Snowy Hydro would like to thank the community for their patience. “The project has been a challenge and has involved an integrated

team of stakeholders, contractors and multiple departments within Council and Snowy Hydro to resolve the issue. I would like to thank the Jindabyne Trail Stewardship team for their hard work in rebuilding some areas of the trail.” said Joe Vescio General Manager Snowy River Shire Council. Through these challenges, both Council and Snowy Hydro have worked in partnership to implement a solution that would ensure the safety of community members and visiting users for the long term. Read more about Snowy River Shire Council’s latest news at http://www.snowyriver.nsw.gov.au The Lake Jindabyne Shared Trail is a project that aims to see shared trails connect the outer villages and also link with other trail networks in our region.

Trip of a lifetime for Jindabyne teenager General Manager, JOE VESCIO

Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea Fund Raiser Staff held “The Big Berridale Bake Off� for the Cancer Council’s Australia's Biggest Morning Tea Fund Raiser on Wednesday of last week. An impressive $200 was raised towards cancer research. It was decided that it would be a "progressive" morning tea commencing 9.30am to 11am to ensure that staff with working commitments had the opportunity to attend the morning tea and to be part of such a worthy cause. There were many slices, biscuits and cakes to choose from however when the votes were counted there were two clear winners in the “Bake Off�. They were the Maltese Slice and the Baked Cheesecake. I thank all staff for your generous donations that have now been sent to the Cancer Council. I would also like to thank those that helped organise the morning tea and everyone who contributed that made it such a success. Fit for the Future Community Forums I thank everyone who has attended the community forums held in Berridale, Adaminaby and Jindabyne this week. The forums were designed to provide you with information regarding our progress to date and to be available to answer your questions. Your contributions, questions and feedback has been registered and will contribute immensely towards Council’s final submission. The last forum is being held tonight at the Dalgety CWA Hall, Rutherford Street Dalgety between 6.30pm-8.30pm.

There’s something about Jindabyne Central School (JCS) student Caroline Greene that makes her stand out from the crowd. From a field of more than 3,000 applicants, Caroline - who prefers to go by her nickname Caz – made such a strong impression she was selected as one of only three Australian Navy Cadets (ANC) candidates to go on the trip of a lifetime. The 16-year-old will head to the United Kingdom in July to represent Australia on a two-week ANC exchange program. Her journey started last year when she heard about the exchange program, read the selection criteria and realised she was eligible to apply. Caz, who has reached the rank of Leading Seaman ANC, then sat down and began to write her application. She told organisers what an impact an overseas trip would have on her young life, all of which she has spent in a small, inland country town, and how much she would appreciate an opportunity to travel independently and meet new people. “I wrote about what an experience it would be to travel to another country by yourself with people you have never met,� Caz said. “I talked about myself and told them how much I would appreciate the journey.� Caz submitted her application with her father’s blessing. Three months later, her dad Nick received a phone call out of the blue telling him her daughter had been successful. “Dad told me to check my emails and there was the email saying I had been accepted,� Caz said.

“I couldn’t believe it, I didn’t think I was going to get it.� Petty Officer ANC Dianne Wilson from the training ship Orion, based in Jindabyne, said it was an honour for Caz to have won such a competitive selection. “Caz’s outgoing personality, as well as her positive involvement in cadets, were key factors in her successful selection,� Ms Wilson said. Two other ANC leading seaman, both from Perth, will join Caz on the exchange program along with navy cadets from the United States, Canada, Singapore, New Zealand, South Korea and other nations. The cadets will spend a week in London and surrounds sightseeing and enjoying being tourists. They are required to wear their uniforms and will spend some of their time visiting war and military museums. They then head to the UK’s Sea Cadet Sailing Academy located at Weymouth, Dorset where they will get a taste of life in the navy. Caz said she has been overwhelmed by the support of her school and fellow cadets, who are selling chocolates to help her raise funds for the trip. JCS will hold a secondary disco later this term to help fund Caz’s trip and she has also begun contacting local organisations and businesses asking for some financial help. Donations to help fund Caz’s exchange program can be made at the JCS office.

Pictured: Caroline Greene was selected among 3,000 applicants to win a navy cadet exchange to the United Kingdom.

Alice Sturgeon celebrates her 100th birthday

Alice Sturgeon celebrated her 100th birthday at Yallambee Hostel last Thursday, surrounded by family and friends. Born in Victoria, Alice lived in Berridale for many years before becoming a resident at Yallambee. Apart from a very special birthday cake, Alice received messages from HRH Queen Elizabeth, the Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove, the Prime Minister Tony Abbott and the NSW Premier Mike Baird. Mrs Sturgeon is pictured above with her niece June Hill of Wagga and at right, reading the Queen’s message helped by her grand daughter’s husband, Trevor Leisk.

Cooma local court report Daniel Brewis appeared in Cooma court on a charge of dishonestly obtaining property by deception last Tuesday. Back in August 2014, the 24 year old had presented a cheque in a Goulburn camping store for various goods to the value of $1655. With no funds in his account, he was charged with dishonestly obtaining the camping gear and was handed a 9-month good behaviour bond at Cooma court last Tuesday. Both Nathan Whiting and Ian Dalton were in Cooma court last Tuesday on charges of possession of cannabis and possession of equipment to administer cannabis. Both had been caught with the items in their vehicles at a RBT in Nimmitabel on April 10. The 29-year-old Dalton was sentenced to a 14 month

good behaviour bond and Whiting is to pay a fine of $770. Rowan Sutton appeared before Cooma court last Tuesday on charges of failure to disclose identity and for resisting police in the execution of their duty. 24-year-old Sutton was apprehended along with a friend at 11.30pm on March 21 at the Cooma sale yards. After police saw a vehicle travelling at speed through town, they pursued it, losing it for a few minutes before spotting it again on Saleyard Road. When police attended the scene, the boys were standing outside of the vehicle, which was running. Both appeared to be intoxicated. When asked by police for ID, Sutton refused and resisted arrest. Sutton received a 15 month good behaviour bond for the charges in court last Tuesday.

FINAL COMMUNITY FORUM TO DISCUSS THE OPTIONS FOR SRSC WILL SNOWY RIVER SHIRE COUNCIL BE FIT FOR THE FUTURE? Council values the communities input and wishes to present the findings of the two business cases that have been received regarding our ability to stand alone or whether we should merge with Cooma Monaro and Bombala Councils. These reports can be technical so have been hosting moderated panel sessions in each town. The three main outcomes for the panel sessions is to provide information to the community, listen to feedback and importantly be available to answer questions. We value community input and we have been presenting the findings at a session. The final session is at: Dalgety CWA Hall, Rutherford Street Dalgety Wednesday 3 June - 6.30pm-8.30pm To attend please RSVP to: records@snowyriver.nsw.gov.au Subject: FFTF Forum RSVP and let us know which session and how many people will be attending. We would like an indication of numbers so we can adequately prepare the venue and any catering requirements. Both business cases are now available on council’s website and at Council’s Berridale and Jindabyne offices. We encourage all members of the public to review them and attend our public forums for discussion.

CURRENTLY ON PUBLIC EXHIBITION Snowy River Shire Council has the following two new draft Policies on public exhibition: 1. Rural Water Supply Policy will define the division of responsibility between Council (the water supply authority) and the customer, and the conditions under which rural water supply can be provided. This policy applies to existing and future connections within the rural area that are connected to Councils water supply. 2. Backflow Prevention and Cross Connection policy outlines the responsibilities of Council and the community in relation to the installation and maintenance of Backflow Prevention Devices. This Policy has been developed to prevent the backflow of potentially contaminated water into Council’s mains, ultimately protecting the health of the community and the environment. Documents on public exhibition can be viewed at Council Offices in Berridale and Jindabyne and on Council’s website: http://www.snowyriver.nsw.gov.au/Council/Business_and_Projects/Public_Exhibition Members of the Public are encouraged to comment on the draft policies which will be on public exhibition until 19 June 2015.

Cooma TAFE took part in Australia’s biggest morning tea event for the Cancer Council last Tuesday. 70 people squeezed into the TAFE’s Snowy Restaurant for some delicious scones, cupcakes and cheese platters in support of the Cancer Council. MCCR’s Vice President Carolyn Ewart spoke a few words about the fantastic community support that we have in Cooma. She explained that the MCCR is not connected with the Cancer Council, but they share a common purpose; to support families going through cancer treatment, and to try and find a cure for the disease that effects so many across Australia.

“Cooma is very lucky to have the MCCR. The volunteers involved are extremely dedicated and it is thanks to them that we have our own oncology unit here in Cooma. Being able to get treatment here rather than having to travel makes life a little easier for the patients and their families,� she said, “For communities that do not have their own wonderful initiatives like MCCR, there is the Cancer Council, and I would like to thank you all for coming today and for your generous donations. Without the people of the community, organisations like MCCR and the Cancer Council would be buggered.�

COOMA-MONARO SHIRE COUNCIL WEEKLY NEWS AND COMMUNITY INFORMATION

3rd June, 2015

building a better community

COUNCIL communiqué FIT FOR THE FUTURE -WHAT DOES IT MEAN? The State Government over the past three years has been consulting with the Local Government sector on the future needs of Councils in NSW. With more than 60% of Councils who are, or could be, facing major to serious financial concerns in the medium to long terms in meeting future societal needs , this situation was considered by the Local Government Industry and the State Government as serious and requiring immediate attention. The Government responded by setting up an Independent Local Government Review Panel (the Panel) in 2012 to come up with possible solutions. After extensive community and Local Government sector consultation, their report, referred to as “Revitalising Local Government” , concluded amongst other matters, that if NSW Councils are able to meet the changing and diverse demands of their respective communities into the future, then they need to consider “ scale and capacity” to govern effectively . Inclusively, they need to be financially sustainable to deliver quality services and provide and maintain infrastructure and economic growth in the long term. The Independent Panel provided their report to the Government in mid-2014 and the Government announced the “Fit for the Future Initiative” package thereafter. The recommended option that Cooma-Monaro Council voluntarily merge with Bombala and potentially with Snowy River Shire Council was endorsed by the State Government with monetary and consultative enticements ; specifying that the option of the merger business case should be addressed to establish the “scale and capacity” issues in the first instance. To meet future societal requirements, each Council has been asked: • to review its situation by primarily addressing whether it does have appropriate economic scale and capacity to govern effectively across community , industry and State Government ; • whether the merging proposal with adjoining Councils could achieve desired outcomes as recommended by The Panel; • If not, what other performance strategies/governance structures could apply to prove consistent and sustainable “performance improvement” delivery of cost effective and efficient services and infrastructure maintenance and development. • after consultation with its community , prepare a Fit for

the Future submission by 30 June 2015; and • Make the transition to a new structure plan by September 2016; or implement an improvement plan to show it can meet future challenges within the recommended sustainability measures. Cooma-Monaro Shire Council in partnership with Bombala Council and Snowy River Shire Council formed a High Plains Forum to address the potential of a merger business case and other possible improvement options. Discussions included a variety of government proposals involving “stand-alone”, “a rural council” set up, joint administration and alliances involving a possible strong Joint Organisation governance model. After extensive deliberations, it was unanimously resolved that the KPMG consultants be commissioned to undertake an independent review of the merger option and the potential of resource sharing between Councils that could support other improvement options. Independent studies into “stand-alone” arrangements were also undertaken by your Council which confirmed that a “stand-alone” position could be achieved under certain assumptions. Given the government’s request to have a submission on a preferred option delivered by 30 June 2015, the CoomaMonaro Shire Council took the view that a strategic focus with the community was necessary in meeting the Fit for the Future program. This required obtaining information on success strategies and options to enable Council to recommend a preferred, community endorsed, approach that can generate increased resources and efficiency gains into infrastructure, services, and other benefits to future community needs. To achieve this objective, appropriate conversation with the community at large was immediately necessary. In the interim, the KPMG reports were finalised on 25 May 2015 and submitted for consideration by respective Councils and the High Plains Forum. Given the high level analytical assessment undertaken by all three Councils, the KPMG results of the study confirm that merger is not a financially preferred option as it shows limited benefits for the three councils of Bombala, Snowy River Shire and Cooma- Monaro Shire Council. The details of the KPMG report and its findings are available on Council’s Web Site at www.cooma.nsw.gov.au. With regards to the Shared Services Analysis by KPMG, they advise that there are wide ranging mechanisms to deliver shared services to support regional collaboration

and joint delivery of services. Obviously these are dependent on agreed governance structures, community requirements and delivery protocols. Whereas resource sharing arrangements may offer the greatest flexibility and potential benefits, there are some cautionary issues raised in the report that need to be addressed with other options under consideration. These indicate that we may need to progress this resource sharing option in a more effective “due diligence” manner; and in line with current Council’s strategic plans and four year service delivery programs. The details of the KPMG findings, with examples of costs and benefits analysed can also be found on the Council’s Web page. Given the urgent response submission date of 30 June 2015 to be met, an invitation has been extended to the community to discuss the future direction of Council. Appropriate communications through the media and hand delivered flyers have taken place highlighting the sessions as follows: • Michelago Hall-1st June at 6.00pm • Bredbo Hall-2nd June at 6.00pm • Nimmitabel Hall-3rd June at 6.00pm • Cooma library-4th June at 6.00pm The NSW State Government is progressing with all Council reform initiatives which will dramatically change how your Council will operate in delivering services in the future. Issues of lower service quality arrangements in some areas and higher rates, if the strategic issues do not materialise quickly, are major concerns for this Council. The message to all residents is straightforward and urgent. Please try to attend one of the above sessions as your input is vital to the future of your Council’s operations. In the event that you cannot attend, please download the KPMG consultative reports and send Council your comments via phone (6455 1777) or by e-mail to: yoursay@ cooma.nsw.gov.au or find us on Facebook-”Cooma-Monaro Shire” or submit your written submission to the front counter. Your suggestions and/or commentary are needed before 12 June 2015 to enable Council to incorporate your views in its submission to the State government by 30 June 2015. THE FUTURE IS IN YOUR HANDS.

Bombala Council - Fit for the Future? Yes. As residents are aware, Council has been working with both the Cooma Monaro and Snowy River Shires for some time on the State Government’s Fit for the Future initiative. This has been a long and involved process. To date we have: t 6OEFSUBLFO B DPNNVOJUZ DPOTVMUBUJPO BOE B $PNNVOJUZ 4VSWFZ XIJDI DMFBSMZ identified that our community wishes to remain as a stand-alone council. t 3FWJFXFE PVS MPOH UFSN GJOBODJBM QMBO BOE PUIFS *OUFHSBUFE 1MBOOJOH BOE 3FQPSUing documentation which has shown us that as a stand-alone rural council we will meet 5 of the seven benchmarks and shown us that we are improving against the remaining two. t 0WFS UIF MBTU NPOUIT $PVODJM IBT CFFO XPSLJOH JO DMPTF QBSUOFSTIJQ XJUI CPUI the Cooma Monaro and Snowy River Shire Councils to investigate a merged business case. The final document from KPMG includes the following: “Significantly, the financial analysis indicates a merged council would not meet all the Fit for the Future financial benchmarks –three of the seven benchmarks would be met in full, with one additional benchmark partially met. In particular, a merged council is likely to materially underperform against benchmarks relating to asset renewal and infrastructure backlog, and the expected net financial benefit of the merger is unlikely to be of sufficient quantum that would enable a merged council to invest heavily in these areas.” (Page 2 Merger Business Case KPMG) t 5IF .BZPST %FQVUZ .BZPST BOE (FOFSBM .BOBHFST PG #PNCBMB $PPNB .POBSP and Snowy River met as the executive of the High Plains Forum on 20 May 2015

and resolved: 1. Having considered the KPMG merger business case report all three Councils have agreed to not pursue the merger option due to the limited benefits identified in the report. All three Council’s will look at improved services options including Shared Services as per the KPMG shared services analysis report. 2. The HPF explores appointing an Exec Officer to deliver demonstrated savings under an appropriate Governance structure and each Council make appropriate provisions to fund this position. 3. That a Joint Submission from the three Councils be made to the Minister presenting the innovative method of addressing FFTF.

POST & RAIL

Wednesday June 3, 2015

the

postman calls

So Much to Love in Cooma - as one reader has pointed out to The Postman - that certainly includes the incredible effort of everyone involved in “Strictly Musical”. What an incredible effort by all and what an amazing result - all done by volunteers for the good of our community. So, Mother Nature has retained her sense of humour this year. Not only did we have a rather cool summer, but the good lady has marked the change of season with an impressive tribute to winter. Monday morning’s snowfall certainly was timely, if a tad messy by lunchtime. With the ski season kicking off this weekend, here is the first (of many) suggestions from the old Postman - drive to the conditions! With only a slight amount of snow on Mondaysw, there were issues on local roads. So, slow down, don’t slam on the brakes on the ice but use your gears. Alternatively, leave the car at home. And see below, a local artist’s welcome to winter!

Riposte Lisa Ashurst Most women, I’d say, would be familiar with the male tendency to display impatience with pacing. Generally speaking, men aren’t as patient as women and can become just plain agitated when others are not as ready to get going when they are and when the “others” are the women in their lives, you get The Pacing Thing. All right, fine, I am prepared to acknowledge that Man can be out of bed and ready to run out the door in a surprisingly minimum amount of time and I’m okay with that. What I’m not quite so okay with is the male assumption that Woman should also be ready to roll in the same mini timeframe. She can’t okay! It’s just not going to happen! Hence the pacing thing and with the typical male it kicks in big time. Initially Man will express his exasperation by standing around with the car keys in his hand. When that fails to get Woman’s attention he’ll get The Look. Should Woman still miss the message to step it up a notch he’ll exhale abruptly with a huff and when that fails to get her sprinting from the bathroom mirror to the wardrobe to the car he will shove his hands into his pockets and/or loudly jangle the keys and start fast-pacing back and forth between wherever Woman is and the front door. In man-speak this means “For god’s sake! Will you hurry up!” But for Woman this is nothing short of a red flag and should the guy be silly enough to actually speak it out loud…

Your local Award-winning newspaper well he’ll probably only make that mistake once. The thing is, women hate pacing men. It throws their whole getting ready thing completely out of whack and turns it into a drama that doesn’t have to happen. Then it takes them longer than usual to go through the motions of what to wear, which shoes, which bag, makeup or no make-up and hair tied back or loose? Pacing and key jangling jars the decision process and makes the whole exercise stretch out to a much longer time frame than should be necessary. Why don’t men get this? But then there are guys like The Bloke. They park themselves on the couch or somewhere, keep the agitation under wraps and are masters at hiding The Look beneath a show of casual indifference. But Women being the intuitive beings they are, can see straight through that and they know that behind the facade of studied calm is a man pacing furiously in his mind and should he reach the point where he casually asks “So…are you almost ready to leave?” what it really means is that he’s getting awfully close to the limit of his endurance. Woman is expected to reply “Sure! Let’s go!” or words to that effect. Admittedly, these guys are not as frustrating as the aggressive pacers but the message, silent as it is, is still the same…”Geez woman! Can you hurry it up?!” Well yes, of course we could! Just stop rushing us!

Heather Anoleck Dip FMBM

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

INTEREST RATES DROP AGAIN!

Good news for home buyers, with the Reserve Bank cutting the official interest rate at the May meeting, by .25%. With interest rates at a record low, now is a great time to look at buying your first home. If you don’t think you would be eligible, I can help you with a FREE assessment of your situation, and advise you of your options. If you aren’t ready yet to buy, I can help you understand what you would need to make it happen. There are different options, with the use of family guarantees, or mortgage insurance, and I can help you understand what these entail. For investors, you could be getting a better return on an investment property, rather than cash based investments. To help you look at your investment strategies, I can introduce you to Damian Toms, a senior financial planner. With many years experience, he can give you advice based on your specific circumstances. I can also help with a FREE review of your existing loan. Whether you want to see if there is a better option for you, or look at what you could do with your equity, I am happy to spend the time with you. Whatever your finance needs, please give me a call on mobile 0431 351 873 to arrange an appointment.

Drought impact survey Hereford Juggernaut sells for current conditions, and actually reaches those that need it. Inaccessible concessional loans with short repayment periods and high interest rates benefit no one. Instead producers need access to competitive loans with long term repayment periods and immediate assistance to help pay for fixed costs while they remain without income. Ms Simson said NSW Farmers wanted to make sure that governments were doing everything they could to help those who were helping themselves. “That is why we are asking government to lift the off farm income test for the Farm Household Allowance so that those in a desperate situation are not unduly penalised. “By lifting the test, producers or their partners could pursue part-time employment and ‘to get out there and have a go’ just like the Treasurer has suggested. Unfortunately, the current application process is ‘horrific’ and ‘ridiculous’ according to our survey respondents,� she said. Ms Simson concluded: “We have never supported handouts to irresponsible farm managers. But no one can prepare for a drought that lasts this long. It is about appropriate and timely relief to producers and communities experiencing what is a creeping, silent, and devastating natural disaster.�

NSW Farmers have announced the key findings of a recent drought survey, which has captured the impacts of the current drought conditions in the Bourke, Brewarrina and Walgett areas of North West NSW. The NSW Farmers’ survey provides an insight into conditions which have been eating away at the financial, mental, and physical fabric of producers and their supporting communities for four years. Typically reserved producers described it as a ‘long living hell’ and ‘soul sapping’. The length and severity of the conditions have meant that even the most resilient prepared producers and communities have been brought to a point of collapse. More than 75 percent of respondents in the Walgett area indicated that their business incomes have been reduced by between 75-100%, with most of these respondents indicating in further comments that they had suffered a total elimination of income. NSW Farmers President Fiona Simson said: “More than 75percent of respondents had substantially or totally destocked their properties. More than 90 percent of respondents in the area who usually plant crops had been unable to do so.� Ms Simson said NSW Farmers had clearly communicated to government that more work needs to be done to ensure that any drought assistance on offer is appropriate

Kaludah sold 17 bulls to gross $95,500 while Gunyah sold seven to gross $34,500. Injemira Beef Genetics, Wagga Wagga, NSW, claimed the highest average so far for 2015 at $8217, along with the highest on-property top price of $32,000. The top price bull, Injemira Anzac J188, sold to Days Whiteface, Bordertown, SA, and Talbalba Herefords, Millmerran, Qld.

winning bid of $32,000 for a Yavenvale Flash F313 son, Yavenvale Jeronimo J072. The March 2013 drop bull is ranked in the top one per cent of the breed for 600 day weight and all indexes. YavenVale also offered the largest number of bulls at an on-property sale at 104 head while the 50th Herefords Australia National Show and Sale at Wodonga was the largest multivendor sale with 144 offered. In Western Australia, the breed recorded the fourth highest sale average of $5243 for the 2015 selling season. The Hereford and Poll Hereford sales in WA claimed the top clearance rate of all breeds at 95 per cent, well ahead of Angus on 88 per cent. The whiteface breed also walked away with the third highest top price of $10,250 achieved at the Narrogin Invitation sale. Flagship sale, the Wodonga National Show and Sale, reaffirmed the Hereford breed’s strength by posting the highest average since 2008 and the highest gross since 2012. A total of 32 bulls sold from the 144 offered for a 91 per cent clearance, gross of $1,001,500 and average of $7587 – a rise of $776 on last year’s average. On analysis, 31 bulls sold for $10,000 plus, underpinned by solid commercial support in the $3000-$10,000 bracket.

Farmers tax depreciations Australian farmers can now claim a tax deduction on all capital expenditure on water facilities, fodder storage assets and fencing incurred since the 2015 Budget was handed down at 7:30pm on 12 May. Farmers can fully deduct the cost of water facilities and fencing in the year they are purchased and deduct the cost of fodder storage assets over three years. Australian small businesses got a boost on Budget night being able to immediately claim accelerated depreciation on business assets costing up to $20,000. Farms with turnover of less than $2 million qualify as a small business and are therefore also eligible to immediately write-off all asset purchases up to $20,000. Following broad consultation, stakeholders told us they wanted to get on with building fences, dams and fodder storage as soon as possible. Our decision to bring forward the start date of accelerated depreciation for all farmers, regardless of the size of their farm, allows them to prepare for drought and invest in the productivity of their farms immediately. The measure builds on our more than $333 million in targeted support for farmers and

communities impacted by drought announced by the Prime Minister on 9, May in Longreach, Queensland, taking the Government’s total commitments to farmers in this year’s budget to more than $400 million. Supporting farmers in the hard times and boosting the competitiveness of the agriculture sector is not just good for the economy, it is also the right thing to do. Bringing forward these changes to begin from 1 July 2016 to 12 May 2015 is estimated to cost $72 million over the forward estimates. Further measures to support farmers who are preparing themselves for the damaging effects of drought will be announced in the forthcoming Agricultural Competitiveness White Paper.

NSW Weeds Conference is coming to town This year, October will see approximately 250 weeds professionals converge on Cooma for the 18th NSW Weeds Conference. Over the week 12-15th October Conference attendees will be able to discuss all things weedy, including the latest improvements in weed control, technological advances, projects and trials that are being undertaken throughout the State, and legislative changes that may affect the way noxious weeds are controlled into the future. The Conference also gives attendees the chance to network with people in similar industries to take home better ways to manage weeds in their area. Field tours are planned to demonstrate not only the challenges that we face when it comes to weed control in our region, but also to display the Shire’s assets that we are trying to protect. Cooma-Monaro Shire Council appreciates that this Conference is an excellent opportunity to showcase our region to people from across the State and beyond, and to encourage a return visit to the Monaro with family and friends. To build on this opportunity the Conference Coordinating Committee has incorporated a Trade Day into the

Conference program. The Monaro Agricultural Trade Exhibition or MATE will be open to the general public and attendees alike, providing the chance to access representatives from major industries in the weed control and agricultural fields and their products. All local businesses of every kind are welcome to attend and exhibit what the Monaro has to offer in the way of business and tourism.

to suit all budgets. The Conference Organising Committee is encouraging local businesses to jump on board and help support the Conference. By sponsoring this event you will not only be supporting local business and people, but those across the State who endeavour to find better ways to ensure our agricultural and environmental assets are protected from the ever encroaching impact of noxious weeds. You may not think that your business is connected to ‘weeds’, but whether you are a horse-riding instructor, café operator, livestock stud, freight company or major tourism enterprise, this opportunity to highlight your name to approximately 250 visitors and potential customers is not to be missed. You never know to whom or to where your message may reach. Further information about the 18th NSW

The Conference dinner on Wednesday 14 October, which is being held at the Cooma Multi-function Centre, will offer attendees a chance to socialise and enjoy a night’s entertainment with music by local band ‘The Hip Replacements’. The guest speaker for the evening is Australian cricket legend and chairman of the McGrath Foundation, Glenn McGrath. Sponsorship and advertising opportunities are available

Weeds Conference is available: • on the website at http://www.weedscooma.com.au/ or go on Facebook; • by calling Council’s Weed Management Services on (02) 6455 1941; • by emailing the Conference Organising Committee at weedsconference@visitcooma.com.au • or by emailing MATE at mate@visitcooma.com.au.

We have reviewed and reformatted these documents. The Community Strategic Plan is the long term plan for the Council area developed following extensive community consultation. . The Delivery Program sets the Councils strategies to meet the community‘s aspirations over the four year period from 2013 to 2017 and Council is required to report on this prior to the election in 2016.. The Operational Plan 2015/16 provides Councils plans for work to be undertaken in the coming year in accordance with the other plans. Council will adopt these plans following careful consideration of the public submissions received. We are drawing to the close of the Fit for the Future process. Our final public meeting will be held on Wednesday June 10 at the Bombala RSL auditorium at 7.30pm. Council will discuss the KPMG reports and also the draft Rural Council submission. The submission will be finalised following this public meeting and forwarded to the Office of Local Government by 30 June. Council’s preferred position is to stand alone and Council sees little benefits in a merger between Bombala, Cooma Monaro and Snowy River Shires for our residents and ratepayers. This view was reinforced by the findings of the KPMG Merge Business Case report. Our draft stand-alone rural council submission shows that Council meets five of the seven benchmarks and is not far from achieving the remaining two. Council recognises that continual improvement in delivery of services is the cornerstone for all councils. In light of this, we will be pursuing the options of shared services between Bombala, Cooma Monaro and Snowy River Shires, as well as with Bega Valley Shire and others, which we anticipate will provide benefits to our community.

Dane seventh in Australian finals Making it all the way to the Finals, our local boy Dane Freimanis competed in the Australian Scooter Association (ASA) Australasian Scooter Championships in Sydney over the weekend. Dane did extremely well, placing 7th out of the 27 competitors in the under 16 division. The competition was tough with riders coming from Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and NSW. Each rider did two 45-second runs and their best score counted to the overall result. Dane played his first run pretty safe and then really went for it in his second go, getting him a score of 236. Dane has been competing for five years now and has been sponsored by Scooter Hut for the past three years.

Cooma district junior rugby league match reports Full On Constructions and Rhythm Snow Sports Under 6’s Twas another frosty start for the Colts Under 6 team, with a thick layer covering the show grounds until after kick-off. The place to be was the bench with new hand warmers and thick jackets to keep the interchange warm. The Under sixers are always developing and continue to impress with some clever attack and defence similar to what you see on TV. A brilliant offload on a run from Harper Woolf saw Nate Stokes cross the line for a try, with tries also to Tyler Lee, and William Bryan. The crowd also witnessed some impressive footwork from Aiden Dixon and Jana Rosenbaum-Robinson. The Colts did well defending against some tough attack from West Belconnen. Brilliant tackles from Jesse Hurford, Thomas Challis, Oliver Paul, and Junior Morgan, limited the opposition to only seven tries. The under six Cooma Colts were defeated seven tries to six. South East Embroidery Under 7’s The Colts started the match well with good defence from Lachlan Burchall, Lachlan Bryan, Kyte Lee, Riley McKenzie and Ari Geach who were able to hold the Roos to only one try in the first third of the game. The Roos defence were also up to the task despite some good runs from Mitchell Fletcher, Jackson Cook and Cooper Lee. But the Colts were able to smash through the line with a good solid run from Lachlan Bryan to equal the score. The Roo’s hit back after the break after finding some big holes in the Colts defensive line. The Colts worked hard to try and get back in the match with good runs from Rhylee Rosenbaum-Robinson, Bailey Benn and Jackson Lee, but despite Othon Morgan crossing the try line for his standard hat trick, the Colts went down to the Roo’s 32 to 20. The try scorers were Othon Morgan 3 and Lachlan Bryan. The medal winner was Kyte Lee and the McDonalds award went to Lachlan Bryan. Snowy River Painting Under 8’s – Black The Under 8’s Colts were at home this week for what would be their toughest game yet against the West Belconnen Gold team. Fielding a full team the young Colts took to the field ready to go and go they did crossing the line for two quick tries before the Warriors hit back. The match was set to be a real battle with both teams running the ball hard and tackling well. Dary Rudd and Jack Dunn were both strong in attack making some good yards up the middle and solid in defence. Charlie Perea and Lachlan Sky were both safe at the back saving tries and making great length of the field runs. Dempsey Woolf and Wyatt Hurford worked well together in defence taking on the bigger members of the Warriors side. Charlie Payne, Natasha Kelly and Ayden Palmer all worked hard to round out what was a great team effort. The young Colts were unlucky not come away with the win but should hold their heads high for a great team performance. Player of the day went to Darcy Rudd and the Managers award went to Jack Dunn. Monaro Constructions Under 8’s - White Well it was another cool breezy start to ROUND 6 in Cooma with the under 8’S white taking on the South Tuggeranong Blues. The Colts came back into championship winning form this week for a 46 to 14 win over the Blues. It wasn’t long after the whistle blew that man of the match and hard tackling Archie Blyton [1] put the the first points on the board. Quickly followed by Tyrell Bartlett [2] and Bailey Taylor [1] which got us off to a fine start! The second third saw the Blues fight back with two ties which were quickly answered by the Colts with Jett Kelly [1] running one in. The second also saw hard hitting Ashton Dibley come off the bench who combined with Khian Flanagan and Connor Nelson for some brutal defence to keep the blues in their own half. The third saw all the work that Coach Creedence Bartlett has put in to these boys with the Colts going from strength to strength in defence and also in attack with Jayden Hart [1] and Maccas Award winner Hunter Caldwell [3] keeping the heat on and crossing for some big hard running ties to polish a fine win over the Blues! The Monaro Panel Beaters U9’s The U9’s took on the Tuggeranong Buffalos. The boys started the game well with good talk in defence and put the pressure on the Buffalos early in attack. Carrying confidence from last week Charlie Fleming and Cameron Filtness led in defence and both boys scored tries from some powerful running. Thomas Rudd and Brendan Rees also put in big efforts in defence getting their tackle counts up this week showing real improvement in both their defence and attack. Clayton Clarke and Joshua Williams ran hard throughout the game proving to be a handful for the Buffalos defensive line, with Josh scoring an excellent try from dummy half. The second half saw the Colts lack of talk in defence add more pressure to themselves, but they rallied again with some big hits from John Challis and Ty Brazulaitis getting them back on

track and with excellent attacking runs from Rhys Cleverley the game was in the Colts favour again. Jacob Smith and Lachlan Buffet both showed great heart putting their bodies on the line in defence and showing real go forward in attack. Zane Usher-Rodhal did well in defence and had a good strong run with a great offload. Lucas Umback showed real confidence in defence this week. With the boys starting to come together as a team and training well their hard work paid off with another win. Final score 28-22 to the Colts. Try scorers were Rhys Cleverley 2, Cameron Filtness 2, Joshua Williams 1, Charlie Fleming 1. Goal Kickers Rhys Cleverley 1, Ty Brazulaitis 1. Player of the week went to Rhys Cleverley, Hit Man Award to Cameron Filtness and the Maccas Award to Clayton Clarke.

Adam produced great metres to get the team out of trouble. Jonah showed great speed to score after some long passes from the halves, and kicked a goal from out wide. Jayden “the brick” Donald Smith and Lachlan McGufficke put in solid efforts. Alex ”pit bull” Aitkenhead and Travis Kelly both produced some exciting runs. Hudson “the spider” Laird looked like he had spiders on him at times. No one was willing to tackle him as he stepped and weaved through the defence. Darcy showed great determination with his straight runs and worked hard at spreading the defensive line out. Colby McDonald and Lachlan Brill made some dashing runs out wide and through the middle. Final score 36/0 to the Colts. Medal went to James. 1 point to Adam, 2 points to Hudson and 3 points to Tynan. Canteen award went to Jesse.

Sportspower U10’s The U10’s defeated the Goulburn Maroons 28 points to 10. The win came as result of a much improved defensive line with Louis Mould and Azack Morgan both working hard to stop the big Goulburn forwards. Smart passing saw Justin McDonald, Louis Mould and Toby Inskip go in for points and a good kicking day from Tristian Challis, Charlie Paul, and Maison Turner adding the bonus conversions to the score board. Tough all-round performance by Jacory Hart, Mitchell Burke, Cooper Inskip and a try saving tackle by Jordan Williams kept the Maroons out for the entire first half and during the second half saw Jack Kleven, Jack McPherson and Flynn Palmer making it difficult for the opposition to catch up. Next weekend is a general bye so this will give the team a rest before a couple of lengthy roads trips in upcoming rounds.

Franks Butchery Under 13’s The Franks Butchery Under 13 Colts played at home against the West Belconnen Warriors. Cooma started well with some great defence which caused the opposition to drop the ball and Cooma capitalised with Kiah Joyce picking the ball up running through defence and scored Jake Quodling converted the try. Cooma went back on the attack with great runs from Jason Kelly, Noah Saddler, James Dyball and Lach McGufficke. Other players who had great games were little Deacon Ingram who was doing a great job in defence, Also Daniel Watts, Colby Mcdonald, Hudson Laird, Lachlan Brill, James McGufficke all had great games in attack and defence. Cooma went on the attack through some quick and accurate passing from Tyler Rees who he put Noah Saddler through a hole and scored. Towards the end of the first half Cooma seemed to drop off and let the Warriors back into the game with a couple of quick tries. The second half started well with Cooma straight on the attack with a scrum about 30 meters out and halfback Nic Zusak took the defence on himself with his blistering speed and scored. The opposition started to take the advantage with their larger boys really starting to take its toll and Cooma were getting tired. Cooma never gave up with Noah Saddler running in another try. All Cooma players really lifted today, all had great games with Cooma very unlucky in the end not to come away with a win. Final score West Belconnen 40 Cooma 26. Player’s player went to Jason Kelly 1 point Kiah Joyce, 2 points Nic Zusak, 3 points Noah Saddler

Highland Ground Spreading Under 11’s U/11 Colts took on Belconnen Sharks at home and got out of the blocks very quickly to take a 12-0 lead. It was another great team performance in both defence and attack. Talon Kelly got us on the board with a long run, scoring one of his two tries. Shawn Ingham improves greatly each week, earning himself his first ever try, showing his great speed and footwork, and also kicked a goal. James Bannon and Jack O’Donnell ran their side of the field well yet again, organising their runners, Jack crossing over for a try and kicking a goal, James unlucky to be denied, but made a great try saving tackle in the corner. Jake Maddrell and Aron Umback also get better each week, running strongly with the ball and defending with good vigour. Kayla Fleming again very strong in defence and attack, setting up outside players with good offloads. Ryan Monday came on in the second half and stuck solid the game plan, defending well. Cody Clarke started at dummy half, passing nicely off the ground and had one of his best defensive games. Sam Williams and River Wilkinson held tight on the right side, making good metres out wide and not letting the opposition through on their side. Jack Newson also kept things very tight on the left, ball running and defence excellent as always, and kicked a goal. Tirone Morgan and Barrett Bannon came on in the second, Barrett very good out of dummy half with the ball, and Tirone running on to ball as requested, pumping those legs gaining every inch he could. All round great team performance. 3pts Kayla. 2pts James. 1pt Cody. Player of the Week Aron. Medal went to James. Canteen award went to Shawn. Mainstreet Under 12 The U/12 Colts hosted the Queanbeyan Whites in a great team performance. Jesse “the eel” Eljuga and Clinton Filtness were awesome together in their cover defence. They combined strongly to get the ball out wide and set up tries. James “the bull” Dyball and Tynan McKenzie were impressive with their hit ups, the bull knocking the defenders over like ten pins and scoring four tries. Tynan produced two tries with some great footwork and straight running. Adam Constance and Jonah Perea made some great front on tackles out wide.

Service One Alliance Bank Under 15’s The Under 15s played Goulburn on Sunday taking out another win 38 points to 0 points. The game started very quick for these boys with Lachlan Inskip getting the ball and racing through to then give a little chip over the players and then pick up the ball and score under the post, converting his own try. Bill Zammit was next to race over and score. The boys continued to defend in perfect style with Jack Reid, Thomas Robertson and Josh Hampson tackling every set. Bill Zammit again found the try line after dashing away from all the players with Lachlan Inskip converting. Liam Rankin scored next after receiving a great off load from Bill Zammit, Lachlan Inskip converting. James Hill, James Cahill and Remy Oldrey were great in defence and attack. Declan Gregory took a good run from dummy half to bounce over the try line, Lachlan Inskip converting. Sean Dixon, Jak Adams and Will Saddler were outstanding on all levels today. Noah Mylan again put every effort in, improving each week. Bill Zammit raced away again to score, Lachlan Inskip converting. Matthew Chelin finished the game by diving over the try line, leaving the score 38 points to 0 points. Great game by all boys, medal went to Bill Zammit, 2 points Lachlan Inskip 1 point Jack Reid. Thank you to Pete Mylan, and Tammy Byrne. Dodd’s Hotel Under 16’s The Under 16’s played Valley Dragons in a very evenly matched game going right down to the final siren, unfortunately the boys went down 20 to 16. The Dragons pushed our line for quite some time before crossing over to put the first points on the board which showed our boys strength in defence in keeping them out for this period. The boys found themselves in a position to fight back making the half time score 4 points to 8 in Dragon’s favour. In the second half the boys played a stronger game through direction of Matthew Robinson who got the boys back on track to lead 10 to 8. The Dragons took advantage of a couple of easy mistakes and hit back putting them back in the lead 14 point to 10. With seven minutes to go Cooma scored and with the conversion successful lead 16 to 14. Unfortunately the Dragons scored on the bell and with the conversion won the game 20 to 16. Try scorers were Patrick Connolly, James Cahill, and Will Shingles, conversions were one each to James Cahill and Will Shingles. The player’s medal went to Matthew Robinson and the award went to Timothy Gregory.

Red Devils lose two to Yass Magpies The Red Devils played Yass at Rotary oval on Saturday afternoon and came away with two disappointing losses. Reserve grade took to the field with a young inexperienced side but were ready to take on a very experienced Yass side. Cooma started well with the talk high and the early defence was strong which made for a strong opening 15 minutes. Cooma’s ball control was not as strong with a lot of dropped ball allowing for Yass to control field position. Yass was then able to post points and three tries came on the back of this. Cooma was able to get a try back when Jakob Stewart charged down a kick caught the ball then sprinted 80m to score under the posts. Brad Evans converted and Cooma went into half time down but not out. Cooma came out in the second half and lifted its intensity. With the forwards making metres with strong runs from Chris Robertson, Andrew Stewart while Brad Evans and Damo Roach were controlling the back line well, with ball in hand it was not long before Cooma was able to post its second try when Fergus McCosker found himself unmarked on the end of a back

line play and scored. Brad again converted but Yass lifted again and were able to score a couple more tries. Kalhem Jones was then able to find his way over the try line twice with Evans converting one of the two tries. The only problem every time Cooma posted points Yass replied with tries of their own. Yass eventually ran out winners 52-26. Points in second grade 1 point Kalhem Jones, 2 Chris Robertson, 3 Damo Roach and Players player Andrew Stewart. First grade First grade took to the field on Saturday looking to get their season back on track. From the opening whistle they controlled much of the opening exchanges with the forwards finding good metres around the edges of the rucks and the backs finding room to run and showing that with early ball they were able to get on the outside of their opposing number in many of the plays. Yass was the first side to post points and take a 5 nil lead mid way through the first half but Cooma replied and on the back of strong runs from Matt Jamieson, Josh Fraser and James Strange found themselves attacking the

Yass line. From close range Adam Schofield barged over, this was converted by Ryan Morgan and Cooma had the lead 7-5. Cooma extended its lead 10 minutes later when the back line linked up and Ben Scott was able to get a pass to Matthew Cusbert who scored out wide. Morgan was unable to convert into the strong wind and Cooma went to half time at 12 all after Yass scored a late converted try. The second half was a real solid battle with both sides working hard to find field position. Good defence from Jake Mcilvenny, Sam Hand and Eddie Thomas stopped many attacking raids from Yass. Cooma took the lead with 10 minutes to go when Eddie Thomas found support from Pat Egan who crashed over after attacking down a short blindside, Morgan again converted for a 19-12 lead but with under five minutes to go Yass rallied and scored two late tries to seal the game and beat Cooma 24-19. Points in First grade 1 point was shared between Jake Mcilvenny and Ben Scott, 2 points Eddie Thomas, 3 Points Josh Fraser and Players Player Ryan Morgan.

Jindabyne wins local derby in junior rugby With a few key players missing and a reshuffled forward pack, the Cooma Red Devils took to the field keen to improve on last week’s performance. The game started well for Cooma with some strong phases and good go forward. Cooma’s scrums were very strong with possession of the ball key to the chances of this young side. A turnover and quick thinking from Jindabyne set up the first try. Unfortunately this lifted Jindabyne and there big man found room out wide, scoring a few more tries. From the kickoff Harry kicked deep and the Cooma forwards responded well ,busy work from Cody Gould in the ruck and strong running from Josh Sharkey laid the platform for Zac Van Der Plaat to score. Halftime score Jindabyne 33 Cooma 5. The second half started like the first with strong ruck work from Angus Schofield and Luke Fitzgerald keeping the pressure on,J indabyne kicked themselves out of

trouble, resulting in a opportunistic try with the bounce of the ball going their way. Cooma’s backline had some good touches with Will Lehrmann and Russ Haylock making some probing runs. Cooma was not valuing possession and turnovers were allowing Jindabyne far too much possession and they capitalised with more points. A late rally from Cooma saw them move themselves forward down the touchline with Jacob Hedger running hard, this lifted the crowd and the boys should take heart from that strong passage. Final score Jindabyne 60 Cooma 5. Points Zac Van Der Plaat 3 Josh Sharkey 2 Cody Gould 1

to field 10 players, and a big thanks to Uni North for sparing a couple of players to make a game of it. Not much went the Devils way as one of their major strengths of late has been their scrum but with the lack off numbers the scrums were non contested. With key players out, the boys found it difficult to combine as usual and play as a solid unit, despite this all the boys played hard and never stopped trying all game. 1 point each went to Steven Harrison and Lachlan Inskip, 2 points to James Cahill, 3 points to Jackson Stewart who was the standout with two tries and tireless defence.

The Cooma Rural Red Devils Under 14s had a tough encounter on the weekend taking on the Tuggeranong Vikings. As both teams were not willing to give away any territory. Colby Evans was on the end of some good

passing through the backs. This enabled him to cross over for the first try. Vikings however hit back and crossed for a try. Cooma saw an opportunity to move the ball wide for Daniel Stove to cross over for Cooma’s second try. With halftime approaching and the score locked at 10-all, Cooma was awarded a penalty 22m out. Bailey Rogers stepped up to take the shot and slotted it over the black dot, giving Cooma a 13-10 lead going into the break. With some encouraging words at halftime and a reminder to stay patient and to stock to what we wanted to achieve as a team, the game was our to win in the second half. This saw a lot more play in the forwards, with Tuggeranong seemingly throwing the ball to their massive number eight on numerous occasion, who wouldn’t look out of place playing senior rugby. Our boys were courageous in trying to slow him down with some good tackles on him but he

eventually was able to cross for a try carrying about four players with him. Cooma again hit back with Bailey Rogers seeing an opportunity down the blind side, passing to Harry Litchfield to dive over for his first try. Cooma was gaining momentum having more possession in the second half. Bailey finished off a strong game with a side-stepping try for Cooma to come away with the win 25-17. It was pleasing performance by the Under 14s – this was emulated also by the referee who praised the match and the way the Cooma boys conducted themselves on the field with fair play and sportsmanship. Points this week went to the top three tacklers who topped the count -Daniel Stove 3 points, Jimmy Hayden 2pts, Bailey Rogers 1pt. Also a big thank you to Harry Litchfield who stepped up to play a full game from the under 13s and the parents and supporters. Game off next week but we will be training.

SMGS Athletics Carnival

Despite the dreaded forecast of rain, Snowy Mountains Grammar School were very relieved to be able to hold all the events in their Athletics Carnival last Wednesday before the inevitable drops started to fall. Although the weather was still trying, with a cold wind, it was a great day, with a large number of records falling. The only downside was that the weather wasn’t good enough for the K-2 students to come along and participate, and they were missed. A special event will be held for them this week to make up for it. The premier event at the carnival was the hot 100m dash and Head of Sport, Mrs Kelli Wilson, congratulated all who participated for their Houses, whether they won or not. “Running 100m is not everyone’s forte but having a go is just as important�, said Mrs Wilson. The six fastest girls were: Anastasia

Bradshaw, Kate Hobbs, Emma-Kate Nicholson, Lara Fairfield-Smith, Sophie Pidcock and Elliane Hall, with the overall winner being Kate Hobbs. The six fastest boys were: Chris Findlay, Alex Dickson, James Findlay, Harrison Clancy, Joshua Kuner and Oscar Litchfield, with the overall winner being Harrison Clancy. Those students who broke school records, some long-standing, were: Rhianna Blyth (Shot Put), Kieran Field (100m), James Findlay (100m), Elliane Hall (100m), Aidan Machin (100m), Cassandra Nicholls (Discus & Shot Put), Aidan Pierlot (Long Jump), Aaron Pottage (Discus), Charlotte Wilson (100m, 200m & Long Jump), Rebekah Batson (High Jump), Alex Dickson (Shot Put), Kate Hobbs (400m), Anton Fischer (Discus), Oscar Litchfield (100m) and Sophie Pidcock (100m).

SMGS Individual Age Champions for 2015: 8 Years Cassandra Nicholls 9 Years Ashling Condon, Christian Green and Harrison Dutch 10 Years Charlotte Wilson, Luke 11 Years Olivia Weston, Patrick Pendergast 12 Years Miranda Green, Kalob Blyth 13 Years Laura Hobbs, Jack Fairfield-Smith 14 Years Elliane Hall, James Findlay 15 Years Sophie Pidcock, Aidan Machin 16 Years Indiana Hansen, Josh Kuner 17 Years Kate Hobbs, Alex Dickson 18 Years Bellamie Hansen, Harrison Clancy

Mrs Wilson congratulated all the athletes and Cascades House on their welldeserved win as Champion House by a large margin. She also thanked the staff for a wonderful and efficient carnival, the many parents who helped, and all the students who jumped in between their events to rake, measure or help out. “Without this assistance, the carnival would not have been the success it was�, she said.

McMahon and Ruzic take district mixed doubles final In Wednesday bowls, Max Povey, Peter Harris and Renate Winckel won seven of the first 10 ends against Mary Boller, Keith Goodwin and Ron Wainwright with the scores 8/8 and level again 12/12 on 14 at which point Mary, Keith and Ron went on to win 20/12. Sergio Roncelli, Mike Mannile and Neil McGregor won the first five ends to lead Allan Crowe, Mary Phillips and Ron Gammon 8/0, only to see Allan, Mary and Ron put shots on the board and take the lead 12/9 on 14 and go on to win 19/12. Judy Locker and Mario Frezza reproduced the form that put them into the semi-final of the District Mixed Pairs when they came up against Max Butler and Mick Mayhew.

Judy and Mario quickly went to a 12/1 lead. Although kept on 12 for four ends they came home strongly to win 27/16. Wednesday bowlers are reminded that play in the Bill Elder Shield will commence on June 10 and continue on the second Wednesday each month up to and including November. Saturday social bowls attracted 19 players in pleasant conditions which deteriorated as the day progressed. Judy Locker and Mario Frezza paired up for a further practice run in preparation for their semi-final in District Mixed Pairs on Sunday but came up against an inform Max Butler and Margherita Zasso who showed no mercy in allowing Judy and Mario to core on only six ends,

with Max and Margherita winning 39/10. Keith Goodwin played swinging lead for Sergio Roncelli and Olga Jebbink and for Renate Winckel and Neil McGregor. Keith, Renate and Neil won nine of the first 11 ends to lead 19/5 and 22/8 on 14 and held off a late burst by Keith, Sergio and Olga to win 23/18. Mary Phillips and Ron Wainwright had a tight battle with Leonie Snell and Peter Marsicano for thirteen ends to hold a narrow 11/10 lead. Mary and Ron then took control of the game and went on to win 24/15. Maureen D’Amico, Jack Sajina and Richard Nichols made a great start against Dawn Russell, Giulio D’Amico and Geoff Venables to lead 10/0 and later 19/9. Dawn, Giuliio and Geoff

rallied to have the score at 19/19 on end 19. Five shots over the last two ends gave Richard’s team victory 24/19. The District Mixed Pairs was finalised on Sunday at Adaminaby with a Cooma team against an Adaminaby team in each Semi-final. Lestelle and Wayne Lodge came up against John Ruzic and Lyn McMahon and it was a battle for the first 12 ends with both pairs leading at some stage and scores 11/11 on end 12. At that point John and Lyn edged ahead 15/14 and went on to gain a spot in the final 19/15. Judy Locker and Mario Frezza made a dream start against Ayleen Madden and Harry Jackson when they held a 17/4 lead on end nine. Thirteen shots to Ayleen and

Mixed doubles winners John Ruzic and Lyn McMahon with Mark Buckley, Harry Jackson and Ayleen Madden. Harry over the next five ends brought the scores to 17/17. Eight shots to six in favour of Ayleen and Harry over the concluding stages put them into the final 25/23. The afternoon final was a very one sided affair with John Ruzic and Lyn McMahon in command from the start and were unstoppable

in allowing Ayleen and Harry to score on just four ends to run out convincing winners 22/5 with the last two ends not played. Congratulations John and Lyn, Champions for this season. Cooma players are reminded that there are still vacancies for Minor Pairs and Minor Singles.

These are great events for the lesser lights, as players who in the last five years have won a Club or District Singles are not eligible for Minor Singles and winners of Major or District Pairs are not eligible for Minor Pairs. Get busy and put your name on the entry sheet and organise a partner for the pairs.

Stallions let game slip away In a game of two halves the Stallions showed when at their best can match it with the best. Unfortunately they can also let a team skip away from them when their minds are not on the job. The long trip to Moruya started well for the boys and after 20 minutes were in charge leading 12 nil. Their defence was strong with three and four players in the tackle and everyone was supporting each other when it came to attack. Even though Moruya had the

influence of their Australian rep playing this did not seem to faze the boys and after another Gareth Knowles scoot from dummy half we went into the break 18-12 up. The second half started well and Blaine Thomas made a long break down the left hand side from an offload from Corey but unfortunately could not link up with his support and a certain try went begging. We spilt the ball after this and that was the beginning of the end for the

Stallions. The next 20 minutes belonged to the Sharks as they continually broke our line and chip kicks and flick passes were finding their target and before long the score had blown out to 34 – 18. The momentum was certainly in the Shark’s favour and although the Stallions kept trying the Sharks came away with a victory 42 – 18 The second half was a 30 nil walkover and the Coach has identified some issues and as there is a bye coming up this

weekend will have a couple of weeks to get it right. It’s come down to the stage where we will have to win every game to give ourselves the best chance in the semis. Best for Cooma on the day went to Leroy, Gareth and Joel. A few dates to remember for the Stallions and their supporters. Friday June 5 Cooma Fight Night. There are still a couple of tables available and these can be booked through Craig Schofield

on 0414 865 922. Saturday June 13 Home game against Eden with Cooma’s very own Australian rep Brett White making an appearance for the Stallions. Saturday July 4 the Stallions will be holding a fundraiser at the Ex-service Club, Guest Speakers will be Peter Tunks, Paul Sironen and Sid Barnes. Lots of auction Items and fun to be had.

Fillies score sound win over Moruya The Cooma Fillies faced off against the Moruya Sharkettes in Moruya on Sunday, with the ever-improving team a real threat to an understrength Fillies side who were short on numbers this week. Fielding just the 11 players on the field and with none on the bench, the Fillies had a test of their fitness ahead of them and did not disappoint, running away 26-8 victors. The Fillies had a slow start to the game, and Moruya quickly got on the front foot, gaining repeat sets on the Fillies line in the opening few minutes. Abby Schofield was defending well when a wayward Moruya pass found itself in her hands, 10m off the Fillies line. Abby showed great pace as she raced the length of the field to score under the posts. The Fillies kept up the aggression and made great metres through Raen Brademanne and Anna Steel, while Tammy Povey’s tagging nullified Moruya’s attack. The Fillies didn’t take long to strike again. A fifth tackle kick by Abby Schofield sat up in goal and the

determination of Georgie Clarke to navigate a wall of Moruya defence and get to the ball saw the Fillies increase their lead to 10-0. Ashleigh Steinke and Yasmin Williams kept the ball rolling, and the Fillies had a commanding control of the game. At fullback, Kate Schofield effortlessly tidied up a Moruya line break while the Fillies energy levels started to wane. With Moruya stepping up their attack, the Cooma girls turned to defence to keep them in control and despite repeat sets at the Fillies end of the field, the girls got out of it unscathed. Abby and Kate Schofield combined dangerously on the right flank which saw Abby break the line again before finding Georgie Clarke in support who could not be caught by the defence and increased the lead. With time running down in the first half, the Fillies put in one last surge and a perfectly placed bomb from Kate Schofield found twin sister Abby and with some great handling, she increased the lead to 22-0. In the second half the Fillies were fighting against the opposition and their

own energy levels to stay in control during this half. Moruya began the half well and some early errors from the Fillies had them in a commanding position. Amazing defence from Ailish Pope and Katey Patricks kept Moruya out. A line break from Moruya was cleaned up well by Kate Schofield again, but the Fillies didn’t reset quickly enough and Moruya managed to score their first points of the game. Not to be outdone, the Fillies restarted the play and a good short side play through Ashleigh Steinke and Anna Steel put Abby Schofield in the clear again and the Fillies were out to a 26-4 lead. The Sharkettes continued to attack hard against a resilient Fillies line as the Fillies looked to hold their lead. Kirrily Carberry found herself at fullback and safely took a potentially dangerous kick from Moruya, returning the ball powerfully and making great ground for the Fillies. Despite their efforts, Moruya managed to score again with 10 minutes remaining in the second half and it was the last points that would be scored in the game.

The Fillies were relentless and never looked like giving up on this game, with youngsters Ashleigh Steinke, Yasmin Williams, and Katey Patricks really stepping up their game, however it was the levelheadedness of the Schofield sisters that got the Fillies the win. Best and Fairest points this week were awarded to Raen Braedmanne, 1 point, who never tired and was dangerous in attack; Tammy Povey, 2 points, whose defence was outstanding; and Kirrily Carberry, 3 points, who was an all rounder, providing great structure in attack and defending hard. Players’ player was awarded to the amazing Abby Schofield who got a hattrick of tries and outshined this feat with her leadership. The Fillies have the long weekend off before facing Eden at home in a fortnight in what will shape up as a big day for the Cooma Stallions club. Cooma Fillies 26 (A. Schofield, 3, G. Clarke, 2 tries; K. Schofield 3/5 goals) def. Moruya Sharkettes 8 (Doherty, Campert tries).

Close game for Cooma’s reserve grade Cooma reserves travelled to take on the undefeated Moruya Sharks on Sunday putting in a great display of courage with only two on the bench as some players did not turn up as they said they would. Cooma started strong as they went on the attack back peddling Moruya down the field and ending up scoring through Captain and coach Scott Lloyd. Moruya hit back shortly after. I thought the wall that was used by Parramatta back in the 80s was banned as the Moruya half ran behind

more players than sterling did then passing off to his winger to score. Cooma went on the attack again with a great try to Locky Schofield who was playing both half and 5/8. Moruya supporters all went up thinking Locky had lost the ball over the line but the only thing he lost over the line was all the red wine from the night before. Moruya went on the attack receiving a penalty right on Cooma’s line but instead of going for the try they opted for the penalty goal. Cooma went into the break 12 points to 8

in front. The second half started similar to the first half with Cooma on the attack but some silly penalties and mistakes creeping through exhaustion with only one on the bench at this stage. And the sin binning of Schofield for swearing at himself Moruya took advantage and ran in two quick tries. Cooma never gave up and fought back with some great runs by Jesse Jackson, Jim Salvestro and Dave Summerville. Cooma nearly pulled off a draw with a penalty right on full time with Jim Salvestro

High Heelers too strong for Eden On Saturday May 30 the Bombala and District Rugby League club hosted the Eden Tigers and Tigerettes for round nine of the Group 16 Rugby League competition. Despite the chilly wind, the sun was out and with the junior football taking place earlier it made for a great full day of footy for Bombala. With a number of starting players unable to take the field for the Blue Heelers it was always going to be a tough task for the relatively new side. The High Heelers were keen to continue to show the form they know they are capable of before meeting the top of the table teams during the back half of the competition. High Heelers The girls started off strong with a well placed ball from Monique Ingram hitting a steaming Tash Stewart (sponsored by C & G Hood) as she ran the hole, finding space to speed away and put the first 4 points on the board early for the Heelers. From here though the Heelers seemed to again put undue pressure on themselves with unforced errors and back to back sets in defence. The injection of captain Maree Coates gave the girls additional go-forward and helped strengthen their line in defence however the Eden side was certainly not afraid to get physical and on two quick occasions they muscled their way through the Bombala line and the Heelers found themselves behind on the scoreboard. Just prior to half time it was the hard line running of Chloe Hodak (sponsored by Lou Lous) who was able to break through the Eden line unlucky not to score herself, however the very next play saw some classy ball handling and a precision inside ball from Emma Sullivan (sponsored by DF&D Stewart) to a steaming Maree Coates was never going to fail, Maree (sponsored by Dommo’s Shearing) bagged her first of the day, however with an unsuccessful conversion attempt the girls went in at half time behind on the scoreboard 12-10. With the girls running back out at half time determined to muscle up against the physical Eden line-up they were focused on not letting the Tigrettes dictate the rest of the game. And focused they were. From the kickoff a brilliant display of individual skill and technique shown again by the Heelers captain Maree Coates saw her break the line, weaving and twisting through a mount of defenders, only to meet the Eden full back where she chipped the ball deep in behind the defender to run through and re-gather the ball to score her second of the day only seconds into the second half. This seemed to be the game changer the girls needed. Only minutes later the High Heelers were in again through Tash Stewart, again linking up with Monique Ingram (sponsored by Fortitude Physiotherapy), Tash sped away to bag her second of the day as well. Momentum seemed to be shifting the Heelers way, strength out wide was evident through the solid tagging and hard line running of Kayla Jamieson (sponsored by D&L High Country Earthworks) and Kaylee Keavey (sponsored by Palarang Organic Meats). Keiarna Rodwell played another solid game injecting herself into the game at vital times and becoming a pivotal role in the Heelers kicking game. The Eden side did not lay down though and it took strong efforts in defence particularly from Abbey Ingram, Sue Morgan, Sam Ingram and Trina Brownlie up the middle

to stop them from scoring. It wasn’t long before another break away from Maree Coates saw her off load to a speedy Jane Peadon (sponsored by Bibbenluke Stockhorse Stud) who was over to add more points for the Heelers. Lucy Sellars (sponsored by Bendoc Parkpoll Hereford Stud) showed impressive footwork to dart through the defensive line to bag her own four pointer also. The injection of Rebecca Richardson (sponsored by Hands on Bitz & Pizzas) and Janine Jamieson (sponsored by Jamieson Bros Sawmill) gave additional strength out wide as their fresh legs were added to the field. The High Heelers, breaking away on the score board, conceded only one more try in the game right before full time taking the score to 30-14 in the home team’s favour. Three points was awarded to the classy Jane Peadon whose defence was imperative to the win and whose speed and foot work left defenders out on their feet. Two points went to the ever reliable captain

Maree Coates showing her diversity to play anywhere on the park but still dominate, one point went to Lucy Sellars whose strength and footwork up the middle was vital for the Heelers go-forward. Players player awarded from the players went the Chloe Hodak, for her solid defensive game and hard running line breaks. Blue Heelers Whilst the Heelers starting squad seemed to be missing a few big names the boys were all set to step up against the Eden squad, the injection of veteran Clay Stewart as 17th man brought much awaited excitement and anticipation from the Heeler boys, knowing his experience and skill would be an invaluable asset to the team. The Heelers started off slowly letting Eden dominate the first half, by the 32nd minute the home team were already down by 28 points. However, captain Joe Bobbin (sponsored by G.Moore Concreting) always leading by example stepped up in the 34th minute with a barnstorming run breaking the line to put first points on board for the Heelers. With Paul Perkins conversion successful, the score at half time was 32-6 with the home side looking at a big task in front of them if they were to

bag a win. As seems tradition for the Bombala teams, the boys stepped up in the second half playing much more structured footy with more solid defensive efforts. The control from the halves combination was working well with Andrew and Chris Anderson making their mark on the game, with a set play out to the right hand side finding Joe Bobbin with a quick offload to winger Digby Walcott (sponsored by Merimbula Bay Oysters) who had the overlap, the boys were in again in the 52nd minute. The in-play kicking skill and solid defence injected from Clay Stewart (sponsored by DF&D Stewart) off the bench had obvious

the Eden line and take the ball up when needed. Strong hit-ups from Joel Cherry, Paul Gimbert, Slade Newton and Korie Elton also helped the boys get out of their own half. Unfortunate lapses in defence late in the second half let Eden run in a further three quick tries blowing the eventual final score out to 54-14, in no way reflecting the solid second half effort from the home team. Three points for the Blue Heelers went to Digby Walcott stepping up as winger to bag a hat trick of tries, two points went to Murray Jackson for another solid game across the park and one point went to Andrew Anderson (sponsored by Platypus Crash Repairs) whose ability to direct the boys across the

impact on the game. It was Digby again who took a perfectly placed high ball from Clay Stewart to bag his second try for the game. Paul Perkins (sponsored by MCH Welding) continued to gain vital metres for the boys with solid runs from dummy half and defending solidly all game. Murray Jackson (sponsored by Tiger Bobbin Rustic Creations) out the back in fullback was safe under the high ball and ran the ball back with pace and brute strength again gaining much needed metres for the boys. Charlie Lomas (sponsored by Lowanna Properties) before sustaining a nasty cut to the forehead, played an outstanding defensive game out wide, so too did the likes of Luke Jamieson, Daniel Douch and Toby Morgan. Matthew Stone and Andrew Platts worked well to defend

paddock is an absolute asset to the team. Players Player awarded from the players went to Clay Stewart, for brining much needed skill, experience, direction and motivation to the team. The Bombala teams welcome the long weekend as a bye round to rest up injuries and give the chance to get all players back on the field fit and raring to go the next weekend to take on the Bega Roosters and Chicks at Bega for Round 10. The Bombala District Rugby League Football Club again would like to thank their sponsors; Bombala RSL Club, Peter Caldwell Building & Contracting Pty Ltd, Ron Milliner Earthmoving, RAW Strength Bombala, Dongwah, Bob Stewart, Our Local IGA, Pat Lomas and Imperial Hotel Bombala.

SMGS rugby league star to play at schoolboys’ championships There are exciting times ahead for local rugby league player, Aaron Pidcock. Aaron has just been selected in the NSW Combined Independent Schools Under 18’s team to play at the Australian Schoolboys Rugby League Championships. Aaron was selected into the 40-man squad after attending a trial in Sydney earlier this month. Then, after a recent gruelling two-day camp, he was successful in being selected onto the twenty man team. Aaron is in Year 12 at Snowy Mountains Grammar School and is also the Sports Captain. This is the first time in the school’s history

that a student has been selected for NSW CIS Rugby League. Aaron began playing rugby league in 2007 with the Cooma Colts, and played for them until 2013. In 2014 he played under 18’s and first grade for the Cooma Stallions and he now plays for the Queanbeyan Kangaroos. The Australian Schoolboys Rugby League Championships are held from July 5 to 10 and the SMGS community wishes Aaron the best of luck as he reaches this significant milestone in his sporting career.

The Cooma Chamber of Commerce is excited to be launching the “Love to Shop” campaign this Saturday June 6 from 9am to 4pm. This is part of the innovative new marketing campaign “So Much to Love” President of the Cooma Chamber of Commerce, Kathy Kelly, said, “We have had an amazing response to this campaign. There will be at least 25 retailers in Cooma launching the Love to Shop campaign with most of these businesses providing specials on the day. The retailers will be easily visible with “So Much to Love” balloons, shop decals and staff wearing “So Much To Love” t-shirts. All involved retailers will have flyers explaining what shops are participating on the day and their specials. “We expect Cooma will be alive this Saturday with this campaign deliberately launched at the start of the long weekend. Our aim is to attract locals, and get visitors to stop in town and spend their money here. “This launch compliments the “So Much to Love” banners and excitingly, the newly produced “So Much to Love” radio commercials and print ads will also be

launched this weekend to encourage visitors to Live, Work, Play, Invest in Cooma”. Chamber members will be identifiable with “So Much to Love” decals on their shop windows. Still to come in this campaign is the free public Wi-Fi which will be launched in June and available to all retailers in the CBD, however only Chamber members will be able to advertise on the launch page. It will be a faster speed based on the 5G network speeds and will include details of all Chamber members. “This campaign is really gaining momentum. To be involved you need to be a Chamber member so if you are not a member, now is the time to get on board. Together we can make a difference” Ms Kelly said. The Cooma “So Much to Love” campaign looks to drive economic development through four key elements: Live, Work, Play, Invest.

Cooma’s Mayor on the So Much to Love campaign “The population will be growing , especially with people of working age, due to the vibrancy and diversity inherent in our great lifestyle which is appealing to residents and visitors alike�... This was the vision statement from the Cooma Economic Task force two years ago and is why we are now embarking on the new “ So Much to Love� campaign, but recently I have been asked -�Who are you marketing to?� ... “What are you marketing?� and ....�How are you going to do this ?� ...so I think there is a need to clarify these points. Who are we marketing to ? We are blessed to already have over 1 million visitors coming through our Shire each year with these visitors coming mainly from the Sydney and Canberra regions. This is the potential market we are aiming to attract. We want them to stop for longer as they pass through our shire and eventually consider moving to live here. You might ask “why would people leave their city and move to a regional town?�. An interesting fact is that after you take out natural increase and international migration, in the 2013/14 year both Sydney and Canberra had more people leave their cities than moved there, with Sydney having 14,900 people leave and Canberra approximately 1000 people leave. These people are migrating out of the city for all sorts of reasons but high on the list of reasons are mortgage stress and lifestyle. On top of this, the NSW population is predicted to grow by over 2million people in the next 15 years so if we can attract just 0.1 percent of this growth to our shire, we would achieve

a 28 percent population growth (2000 residents) in the Cooma Monaro Shire . “What are we marketing?� When the research was done leading up to the “So Much to Love “ campaign, local residents where asked “what was the one thing they liked about Cooma and the region?�. The answers covered all the aspects of living, working, investing

and playing in the Cooma region but most finished off the answer by saying ...� I don’t know, there is just so much to love about Cooma�. This is where the ‘So Much To Love’ campaign came from with the four major components being Live, Work, Invest and Play. I have already stated that the key reasons people are leaving the cities are often lifestyle and mortgage stress, so the marketing will involve informing people that a house in Cooma will on average, be a quarter of the cost of a house in Sydney. In addition to that, you could enjoy a well located,

vibrant regional town that can offer a better lifestyle . How are we doing this? Being a regional town we do not have the funds for a massive advertising campaign so we are using some innovative techniques to get plenty of “bang for our buck� that will get maximum exposure to the 1 million travellers heading into our region . The techniques we will use will include specific targeted print / radio ads as people are heading to the snow on a Friday night and again leaving on the Sunday , free Wi Fi in the CBD that will advertise local businesses and attractions, billboards between Canberra and Cooma and our new LoveCooma.com website that will feature locals telling their story about why they live in our region. Couple all this with the great work already done with making the town entrance and CBD more attractive and I hope you can see how this is going to play out . It has taken over four years to get to where we are now and although there is still more to do, I am excited that residents, local businesses and the Cooma Chamber of Commerce are launching this plan next Saturday. If we all focus on the positive aspects of why we live in the great Cooma Monaro Shire and continue tell this story to others, I am sure that we will achieve the Taskforce vision of a strong, vibrant and growing community. Dean Lynch Mayor Cooma Monaro Shire
