RELIVING HISTORY Delegate township came alive last Sunday morning as the centenary re-enactment of the Men From Snowy River March stepped off down the main street. Marchers were joined by members of the Bemboka Light Horse Brigade, the Federation Guard and descendants of the original “Men” from Snowy River who joined the recruitment march in 1916. Marchers will spend the rest of the week visiting local towns before concluding their march in Sydney on Remembrance Day. See story and more photos on pages 20 and 21.

Diggers remembered on street signs To commemorate the centenary of the Anzacs, Cooma-Monaro Shire Council have installed memorial signs on the streets that our research has shown were named for local service personnel who gave their lives in the First and Second World Wars. The initiative is the result of a concern local resident, Ross Johnson, had about a lack of local knowledge about the street names. Ross bought a house in Bligh Street in 1958 and as a small boy, he lived alongside Alec Church, who was killed in World war two. Ross knew Church Road was renamed in Alec’s honour and he also knew many of the streets in the newer, southern parts of Cooma had been named after WW11 diggers who did not return from war. But he realised that not many other Cooma residents were aware of that fact. He initially approached the RSL, but eventually contacted deputy mayor Rogan Corbett to ask for Cooma-Monaro Shire Council’s assistance. Some clever sleuthing by engineering administrative assistant Fay Govett, with assistance from the Australian War Memorial and war records, resulted in a list of names of diggers who died in both world wars, whose names have been immortalised as local street names. The new signs include the name, serial number and war in which the person died. In Alexander Church’s case, research has found three sisters still living, one of

whom is now 97. Pte Church is listed on the Roll of Honour at the Australian War memorial, the Cooma Cenotaph and also on a memorial in Thailand. Ross said that, after 60 years, the diggers are being properly recognised and their history will live on. Cr Corbett said he thought the exercise was a wonderful to respect the diggers who paid the ultimate price for Australia’s freedom. “It’s a way of saying thanks for the sacrifice these people made”, Cr Corbett said. A map of the street names will also be used as the basis for an historic walk around Cooma.

NEXT Wednesday, November 11 is of course Remembrance Day, and once again the Bombala community is being encouraged to gather at the local cenotaph at 11am to honour those who have served Australia in war and conflicts. This is a special time for us all to remember not only those who made the ultimate sacrifice and laid down their lives for their country, but also the many who returned home, and those who continue to fight today. This year we have all been focused on the wonderful Men from Snowy River March Re-enactment taking place through the region, and this has ignited even more interest in our local war history as November 11 approaches. A traditional Remembrance Day ceremony will be observed at

11am next Wednesday morning in Bombala, with the RSL Sub-Branch leading proceedings, while Fr Mick MacAndrew performs the duties of padre. Hannah Feilen and Paddy Brownlie of the Bombala Public School will deliver The Ode, while new Bombala High School Vice President, Tamika Hampshire will make the Remembrance Day Address. Another very important feature of the ceremony will be the Wreath Laying, with all encouraged to prepare their floral tributes to be laid at the cenotaph during the service. Everyone is encouraged to be a part of the important and reflective morning, with the crowd urged to gather at the Bombala Cenotaph prior to 11am on Wednesday, November 11.

Ringing in changes at Nimity About 500 people turned out in Nimmitabel on Saturday morning to welcome “The Bell” to town. The 1.8 tonne bell was bought by the community for $60,000 and shipped from Massachusetts, USA. More than 100 local families contributed to the cost of the bell. The acquisition of the bell was a joint project of the Nimmitabel Lions Club and the Nimmitabel Advancement Group and continues the theme of transforming Nimmitabel from a timber town to a tourist town. The bell was unveiled by Cooma-Monaro deputy mayor Rogan Corbett and he and the Member for Monaro, John Barilaro, had the honour of ringing it, officially, for the first time. Students from Nimmitabel Public School, who performed a

song they had written about the bell for the occasion, then also had the honour of pulling on the bell rope. The town was buzzing all afternoon, with a wide variety of activities for all to enjoy. Many

former residents returned to town for the occasion and enjoyed catching up old friends and relations. People came from as far away as Darwin for the occasion. The final location of the bell has

yet to be confirmed, but it will have a prominent position in town to act as a tourist ‘stopper’. Plans are now afoot to have an annual Bell Festival in town. Pictured with the Nimity Bell on Saturday are, from left, Deputy

Mayor Rogan Corbett, Lions Club President John Harrington, Member for Monaro John Barilaro, Isabel Harrington, Marg Weston, Senator Bronnie Taylor and Howard Charles. Left: Nimmity school students heave on the bell rope.

Councils discuss future as review labelled unreliable High Plains Forum met last Thursday and held ‘fruitful discussions’ on the future of local government services in our communities. The three councils will now take these discussions back to their respective councils so each council can further develop their positions on the fit for the future process. All three Mayors expressed concerns at the lack of funding being offered to cover all merger costs and to ensure the long term financial sustainability of a proposed merger. Other concerns were that the HPF councils have partnered with the state government in an honest manner during this reform process. It has been disappointing that the State Government appears to have used the process as part of a broader agenda to force mergers.

The mayors said “Notwithstanding this it is our intention to continue to argue for better funding models moving forward to ensure our community is not worse off”. Bombala Shire Council has also been speaking with Bega Valley Shire Council to explore options in that direction. A report released by the parliamentary committee inquiring into local government in NSW last week has found the IPART recommendations in the Fit For the Future program were unreliable. The report makes 17 recommendations and nine findings. The Chair of the committee, the Hon Paul Green MLC, said ‘We found that many of the Fit for the Future measures are unreliable and we therefore called on the NSW Government to withdraw its statements that 71

per cent of Sydney councils and 56 per cent of regional councils are ‘unfit’ for the future. We also recommended that the Government commit to a policy of no forced amalgamations other than in exceptional circumstances.’ Mr Green continued, ‘This committee has listened to councils and other stakeholders around the state and

we were concerned that what began as a consultative approach to reform, driven by both the State Government and the sector itself, has descended into a rushed and flawed process, which has focused too much on council amalgamations.’ ‘Reforming local government is nothing new, but it is vital that we get the right reforms at

the right time and in the right order, if we want to get this sector back on track. We’ve seen how committed councils are to their communities and we know that they are keen to keep improving. The Government needs to build a bridge and get back to working with the sector, so that councils across this state can keep on building the bridges we need,

maintaining the roads we use and providing all of the other services that our councils deliver.’ ‘I call on the NSW Government to take heed of our report and reconsider its plans for the future of local government before any steps are taken

in relation to council amalgamations,’ Mr Green said. The committee’s report, along with other information about the inquiry, is available on the committee’s website: www.parliament.nsw. gov.au/localgovernment

said.. “We received expressions of interest from a diverse range of clinical experts including general practitioners, primary health care nurses, allied health professionals, Aboriginal health workers and pharmacists from across the region, and have appointed a skills-based mix to our Clinical Council for Southern NSW.”

Dr Sue Storrier, a distinguished and long-standing General Practitioner based in Goulburn will take on the role as the inaugural Chair and will also be a director on the COORDINARE Board. She will be supported by our six GP Cluster Leaders who have recently been announced and include: Dr Neil Starmer, GP, Eurobodalla; Dr Lisa Cutfield, GP,

and integrated care pathways. “Clinical and consumer involvement is fundamental to our approach and the establishment of our two Clinical Councils creates a strong foundation for the improvement work ahead,” Ms Kitcher said. The first meeting of the Clinical Council for Southern NSW will take place in December.

Emergency training exercise at hospital Fires, floods and severe storms were all par for the course at the Bombala MPS last Friday. Local emergency services representatives joined hospital staff at the MPS to take part in a tabletop training exercise focused on operating health services during times of disaster. The exercise was run by Local Health District Disaster Manager, Michael Sandford, with hospital staff from both

Bombala and Delegate taking part. They were joined by local representatives of NSW Fire & Rescue, the Rural Fire Service and NSW Ambulance. The exercise was designed to give health service staff the opportunity to adequately respond to an escalating emergency situation utilising the Delegate and Bombala MPS Disaster Response Plan.

Community champions awards Some of the Monaro’s finest volunteers have been recognised for their contribution to the community at a special ceremony held in Queanbeyan and Cooma, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro said on Monday. The 45 recipients from Queanbeyan, Cooma, Bungendore, Bombala, Braidwood, Captains Flat, Berridale and Jindabyne were honoured with Monaro Service Awards for their outstanding contribution or the community in areas such as the arts, environment, education, health, sport, heritage and pastoral care. Two NSW Carers Awards and three 2015 Rural Women Hidden Treasure Awards were also presented. “There are more than two million volunteers across the state, they

are the lifeblood of our community and it’s important they are recognised publically,� said Mr Barilaro. “These selfless individuals quietly make a difference in our community; they go above and beyond the definition of their role often with little recognition in their effort to make the community they live in a better place. “The Monaro Service Award is a small way of thanking volunteers for what they do. Today’s entire award recipients are dedicated to their calling and make a difference to the local community; I congratulate and thank them for their efforts.� “Some award winners include the Queanbeyan Players for their work bringing plays and musical theatre to the

community for half a century; Bungendore’s Elizabeth Dalman OAM for exceptional service to the Performing Arts through dance (Elizabeth founded the Australian Dance Theatre ADT in 1965); Eileen Hampshire from Bombala for charity work in particular establishing Bombala’s Relay for Life and Cooma’s Michael Green for service and achievement in agriculture.

Fire brigade kept busy Last Wednesday morning a three-bay shed full of machinery at 480 Rose Valley Road was completely destroyed in a fire. Rural Fire Services, Fire and Rescue along with Cooma and Bredbo crews attended the property at 6am on Wednesday. There were no injuries reported, and investigations as to the cause of the fire are still underway. A compressor in the cellar, according to police, started a small fire at the Royal Hotel last Tuesday. After receiving reports of smoke coming from the premises on the corner of Sharp Street and Lambie Street, police

and the Cooma Fire Brigade attended the scene at about 11am. No one was injured in the fire, however two employees were taken to Cooma Hospital due to smoke inhalation. On Wednesday 21 October, some excavation work resulted in a ruptured gas line on Sharp Street in Cooma. 12 people were evacuated from a nearby motel at about 2.30pm. Police attended the scene, blocking off Sharp Street, while Fire and Rescue shut down the gas line.

Anglican Historical Society at St Paul’s About 35 members of the Anglican Historical Society of the diocese of Canberra and Goulburn visited St Paul’s Anglican Church on Sunday. The visit was part of their tour of the area, which included Bredbo, Nimmitabel, Berridale, Christ Church, Cooma and Adaminaby. One of the members included Father Bill Pryce, who is currently based in Cootamundra and has a significant connection with Cooma, his great grandfather. Father Edward G Pryce was the Anglican priest back in 1845

at Christ Church on Myalla Road. Pleased to be back to visit the old St Paul’s church, Father Bill reflected on being christened also ordained there back in 1957. St Paul’s celebrated it’s 150th birthday last month, and the Anglican Historical Society enjoyed hearing about it’s history from the tour organiser and researcher, Janet Stalvies, before heading out to Adaminaby on Sunday. Tour officers of the Society, Cynthia Groundwater and Jill Hodgson commented on how hearing about the past community can guide us in positive decisions for the benefit of the future. They also agreed that reflection on the past helps create connections and relationships between people now.

New DNA security at the Ex-Services Club The Cooma Ex-Services staff are in safe hands with their brand new DNA security system in place as of this week.

The High Plains Forum met on 28 October to commence further discussions on merging based on IPART’s assessment of our Councils. The general outcome of the meeting is that Snowy River and Cooma Councils will move forward and continue to focus on the merging options provided by the State Government. Following our meeting, Bombala determined that they will not support a three council merger with Snowy River and Cooma as they feel they would be worse off and will explore the options of merging with Bega Valley Shire Council. We are continuing to work on the final submission to IPART and will be meeting again with Cooma Council this week to continue negotiations.

Although we are talking about mergers, it is still business as usual. Services will continue as normal until such time that a merger takes place. We do not know timelines yet however, we do hope that these details will be provided by the State Government shortly after our final submission due date on 18 November. I would like to congratulate Adaminaby Jockey Club who has been formally recognised and awarded the Community Race Club of the Year at the 2015 NSW Country and Provincial Racing Awards. This was announced on 2 October and the winners of the various categories were acknowledged for making a significant contribution to country and provincial racing. Each year Council supports the Adaminaby Jockey Club by sponsoring a race as Council recognises its historical significance to community and is an event that is a great day for families across the Shire and beyond. This year’s race day will be held on Saturday, 21 November.

The Cooma ExServices Club has just installed a new and innovative criminal security system involving DNA technology. A company called DNA Security Solutions based in Adelaide creates the system and have installed it at the Club this week. Should the premises be broken into, a trigger will set off a spray of sterile water containing a fluorescent dye and a synthetic single strand DNA. This solution is sprayed onto the offender as a fine mist and is invisible to the naked eye, however when it is exposed to a black light, it is easily detectible. The solution stays on the offender for two months, and the DNA is unique to the Cooma Ex-Services building. This provides police with irrefutable forensic

evidence linking the criminal to the breakin, and with a 100% conviction rate, DNA Security Solutions are proud of the system. “What we want is for it to never actually be used,” says Jeffre Murray of DNA Security Solutions who came to install the system and conduct staff training. “This system works as a very good deterrent for criminal activity because it so effective.” “The fact that Kade Morrell, the secretary manager here in Cooma, is willing to install this system shows that he really cares about the safety of his staff and patrons.”

Hidden treasures uncovered in rural NSW Congratulations to Adaminaby resident Judy York who appears on the 2015 Hidden Treasures Honour Roll for her service to the community. Judy came to Adaminaby in 2006 and settled in so well that she does not want to leave. Further, to her surprise, she discovered she is a descendant of Henry and Charles York, original inhabitants of Adaminaby. Judy is particularly generous with her time and in spirit. She has inherited her parents’ ethical philosophy that people have a duty to re-invest in their community. Although a quiet worker, Judy has her finger on the pulse of community life and is always ready to offer assistance in times of need. Judy has a special place in her heart for service personnel, their families, and the disadvantaged. Judy has been a member of the CWA for eight years and President for four years, is a member of the organising committee for the highly successful Adaminaby Easter Fair and has an aptitude for writing grant applications.

Judy believes in learning something new every day, to this end obtained a BA with a major in Rural Economics, and is currently completing a second Arts Degree majoring in Journalism. Judy also has a Cert 1V in Book Keeping, Marketing, Disability and Training Assessment, and Advanced Diplomas in Aged Care and Community Work and, assisted in writing the Cert 111 course for Assistant in Nursing. Her eclectic mix of qualifications, practical based occupations and experiences have been valuable assets in responding to needs within her community. Nominations for the 2016 Hidden Treasures Honour Roll will open 9 May and close July 29, 2016. The 2016 Roll will be launched at the annual Rural Women’s Gathering being held at Broken Hill from October 28-30. To nominate a treasure in your community email rural.women@dpi.nsw.gov.au visit: www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/rwn or call 02 6391 3620. It is a simple and easy way to show you value women volunteers in your community.

Dealing with aged care With an increasing population of older Australians, there is no time like right now to plan for life as an older person. There are many services available to our seniors but many people are unaware of just what is available or how they can access them. Aged care services have traditionally been handled locally, but as of July 1 2015, they have been centralised through the Federal Government’s ‘Myagedcare’ website. This is now the first port of call for all questions concerning aged care assistance. These include Commonwealth Home and Community Care programs; planned respite under the National Respite for Carers program; day therapy centres and assistance with Care and Housing for the Aged. For all new clients, myagedcare is the way to register for all services under the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP). Many locals are already registered and have been using one of the locally managed service in CoomaMonaro, Snowy River or Bombala Shires. In Cooma, that service operates out of the Werri Nina Centre at 227 Sharp Street. Werri Nina is home to Meals on Wheels, Home Living Support and Contact. The staff are experienced and are

more than happy to assist people with their enquiries. While myagedcare is the first point of call, some senior citizens don’t have access to a computer and the 1300 number available for assistance might not be everyone’s preferred choice for contact. The staff at Werri Nina are happy to assist in those cases. Sometimes, there is just no substitute for faceto-face contact. Many people can suddenly find themselves needing access to aged care information. We don’t always expect a loved one to suddenly need to be in need of respite or permanent residential care. When it happens, that experience is daunting. Knowing where to go for the right information and discovering what services are available is very important. Today’s society is seeing many more elderly people being able to stay in their own homes by utilising services such as meals on wheels, home living support and home nursing. People are generally happier being at home, but that isn’t always possible without support. When the time comes for that person to move into residential care, there is a plethora of documentation to deal with. A friendly face and sage advice can be invaluable in those circumstances.

Club donates equipment to social cafĂŠ Moves to establish a social cafĂŠ in Cooma were assisted last Thursday by the donation of kitchen equipment by Cooma Ex-Services Club. The momentum to establish a social cafĂŠ started in August with a community meeting which was addressed by Ross Williams from the Reaching Out Foundation who detailed his experience with setting up places in Bega, Narooma and Merimbula and explained what it would take to get a place for Cooma including volunteers, food donations from supermarkets, restaurants and farmers, and a suitable venue. Ross explained that this model is different from a soup kitchen and referred to it as “dining with dignityâ€?. The venue identified as most

appropriate was The Hub Youth Centre but it needs renovation to bring the kitchen up to a current commercial standard. Funding fior that is being sourced. The place needs a name, so the committee intends to run a little competition (probably with the schools) to decide on a name and design a logo. A majority of people at the August meeting indicated an interest in supporting / assisting / volunteering in some way and they will be placed on a register of supporters.

Pictured Ross Williams accepts a donation of equipment from club secretary-manager Kade Morrell and chef Alex Harvey.

Cooma students graduate from UC BOMBALA COUNCIL GENERAL MANAGER: Ms Ngaire McCrindle Congratulations to the Delegate Progress Association on the organisation of the re enactment of the March of the Snowy River Men. A large crowd gathered at Delegate last Sunday to farewell the marchers and the official welcome at Bombala yesterday gave those attending an opportunity to reflect on events 100 years ago and the sacrifices made by local people. Congratulations also go to the Eden Local Aboriginal Land Council on the work that is being undertaken on the walk way around Two Fold Bay. The track work has almost been finalised, one of the viewing platforms has been installed and work will be commencing shortly on the interpretative signage. It is planned that this first stage of the Bundian Way will officially be opened Easter 2016. The Bundian Way project has already brought benefits to our area and we look forward to continuing our association with this inspirational project. Councillors are continuing to liaise with Cooma Monaro Shire, Snowy River Shire and Bega Valley Shire on the outcomes of the Fit for the Future process.

www.monaropost.com.au

Gaining hands-on experience at local schools in Canberra was among the highlights of Cooma’s Alexandra Avis studies at the University of Canberra. The 25-year-old graduated with a Bachelor of Education degree on Friday 2 October at a ceremony at Parliament House. Spending four years commuting from Cooma to Canberra meant the days were long for the former Monaro High student. “I always tried to fit all my tutorials in one or two days, but add a round trip from uni to Cooma and that’s about three hours of driving on top,” Ms Avis said. “I wouldn’t trade it in though; I’m so excited to begin teaching with my degree under my belt.” Ms Avis undertook four practical work placements at schools in the Canberra suburbs of Gordon, MacGregor and Kaleen during her course. “I can’t wait to get a full-time teaching placement, but I’d also consider adding to my degree as well. I would really like to specialise in PE (physical education) and science,” she said. Ms Avis was joined at the graduation by her mum, who travelled from Cooma, and her Canberra-based partner. Together they planned on marking the achievement with a celebratory toast once the ceremony concluded. Cooma local Acton Mortlock said he was “proud” to be graduating from the University of Canberra with a Bachelor of Sport Coaching and Exercise Science. The former Jamison High School student said he enjoyed the friends he made throughout his degree and now is interested in doing his Masters in Physiotherapy. Mr Mortlock was joined by his dad and girlfriend at the Parliament House ceremony to celebrate his graduation. More than 1,280 students received their degrees, with around 760 of them attending one of four ceremonies, including many graduates from rural and regional areas. The University also presented an honorary doctorate to prominent Australian Muslim community leader and respected general practitioner Dr Jamal Rifi. “Graduations are a celebration of our

students’ years of hard work and dedication. Each graduating student should be proud of the effort and commitment which they have applied to their learning,” University of Canberra Vice-Chancellor Professor Stephen Parker said. “I wish them all a long and successful career in their chosen field and hope that they think back on their time at the University as a period of great personal growth. We are very proud to count regional and rural graduates among our more than 72,000-strong alumni,” Professor Parker added. “Our graduations coincided with the publication of the Times Higher Education

(THE) magazine’s World University Ranking for 2015-16. For the first time the University of Canberra has entered this ranking, in the band 501-600 out of the 800 institutions ranked.” This achievement follows the University’s recent climb of more than 100 places in the 2015-16 Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings announced in September. “These results place us in the top four per cent of institutions world-wide,” Professor Parker said. “We continue to move closer to our goal of being listed within the top 100 universities under the age of 50 by 2018, based on a variant of the THE World University Rankings.” “It’s been an exciting year with the University of Canberra Amendment Bill 2015 passed by the ACT Assembly as well as the approval of a Territory Plan variation. These new pieces of legislation will allow the University to diversify and grow, generate jobs

and boost the local economy.” The University has more than $1 billion worth of campus development at a preliminary agreement stage. This includes residential housing, aged care, a technology park and private health facilities that would cluster around the new University of Canberra Public Hospital with construction due to commence early next year. The state-of-the-art facility will feature a research centre for University of Canberra academics and students, unit-style mental health accommodation including shared kitchen and dining facilities, sensory areas for dementia patients, a gym and a hydrotherapy pool. In March, the University opened a new research institute, bringing together its expertise in biomedicine, biotechnology, clinical sciences, public health, urban planning and architecture, and health services research. The University of Canberra Health Research Institute will see researchers and academics from across the University come together to tackle issues like healthy living, chronic disease prevention, primary care and sub-acute health care. The University of Canberra, in collaboration with The Australian National University (ANU), will also receive $17 million through the Australian Government’s Health and Hospitals Fund Regional Priority round to build new clinical training facilities and student accommodation in rural southeast NSW. The project will establish medium-scale training facilities on existing hospital sites, as well as student accommodation in the regional towns of Bega, Cooma and Moruya. These facilities will provide clinical training opportunities for medical, nursing, midwifery and allied health students, which will support the rural and regional health workforce capacity in this area of NSW. All these developments place a strong emphasis on ‘work-integrated learning’, which gives our students valuable experience in the workplace before they graduate. In addition to internships off campus, the University also has its own working health clinics where students can give supervised treatment to real patients.

The Upper House committee inquiring into the need for registered nurses in NSW nursing homes has tabled its report. The inquiry was established principally to investigate the requirement for registered nurses to be on duty in nursing homes at all times, as expressed in section 104(1)(a) of the New South Wales Public Health Act 2010. The committee was tasked with examining this issue in the context of amendments to Commonwealth aged care legislation that have consequently impacted on the operability of this state provision. The Chair of General Purpose Standing Committee No. 3, Ms Jan Barham MLC, stated: ‘Older Australians living in nursing homes are among the most vulnerable members of our society, needing and deserving of the highest quality of care.’ Ms Barham said: ‘The committee acknowledges that the Commonwealth has jurisdictional responsibility for aged care, but ultimately we were not convinced that the regulatory framework at that level adequately ensures that a high standard of care is delivered to residents through its standards. We therefore support the current legislative requirement for registered nurses to be on duty at all times in NSW nursing homes.’ ‘In recognition of the changing needs of older Australians entering into residential care, the committee has determined that it is both important and appropriate that the definition of ‘nursing home’ under the Public Health Act be based directly on residents’ assessed needs. This link between funding and registered nursing coverage allows for the provision of person-centred support’, said Ms Barham.

‘The committee acknowledges that the nature of high care needs is broad and that there are different types of high care needs. The inquiry heard concerns from aged care providers about the financial impact in meeting the requirement, and with the limited availability of registered nurses, particularly on homes in rural, regional and remote areas. To this end, the committee has presented the opportunity for aged care providers to apply for exemptions from the state legislative requirement for consideration on a case-by-case basis. Such exemptions should only be granted where the facility can demonstrate that it can still provide a high level of quality care.’ Other recommendations include a comprehensive system of enforcement of the state provision, improvements to the wider aged care regulatory framework, better support for and regulation of the aged care workforce and recognition of the wage disparity that exists between government and nongovernment providers for registered nurses. The recommendations also address the need for government support for improving the training and availability of registered nurses in rural and regional areas. Ms Barham said, ‘This inquiry and the suite of measures that have been recommended should provide a positive basis for greater improvement and more innovation in the delivery of quality aged care services in NSW. A list of the committee’s recommendations is attached. The report is available on the committee’s website – www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/gpsc3

Musical Theatre Workshop a great success

NEWS

Wednesday November 4, 2015

On Saturday October 24 at Jindabyne Central School, the hall rang out with the delightful sounds from a Musical Theatre Workshop led by well known director/ singer/ actor/ dancer, Shaun Rennie .

Hermit Crabs Land Hermit Crabs make wonderful pets they are friendly, intelligent, odour free and very clean. They have evolved to live on land and use an empty shell as a portable home, as well as protection. Remember, it is a land animal and must not be kept in water. t )PVTJOH Use an aquarium with a glass top, as this creates a humid environment which is essential for crab’s well being. A 35cm aquarium will house 3 Hermit Crabs comfortably. The floor of the aquarium should be kept dry and can be covered in either pet litter, untreated wood shavings or clean dry gravel. If you use gravel, it can be cleaned with hot salty water - never use soaps or detergents. Rinse well and leave in the sun to dry. Hermit Crabs love to climb and exercise so a piece of driftwood or mangrove root is ideal. t )FBUJOH Land Hermit Crabs are tropical so they must be kept between 26C and 32C and the temperature should never be allowed to fall below 20C. As hot air rises, the most effective way of heating the aquarium is with a Heatwave Heat Mat that sticks onto the base of the aquarium. These mats emit an even heat over the base which stimulates activity. A desk lamp with a low wattage bulb may also be used. It is important that you place a thermometer in the tank to monitor the temperature. t )VNJEJUZ Humidity is the amount of water vapour in the air we breathe. Hermit crabs require high humidity to keep their gills moist adn allow them to breath properly. When humidity is low, the air is drier and they become inactive and some become dehydrated or even suffocate if the air is too dry.To ensure you have enough humidity in their enclosure, make sure there is plenty of water in their drinking bowl t 8BUFS Land Hermit Crabs need two bowls of water that should be changed daily. The first must contain freshwater for drinking, the second saltwater for bathing. This can be mixed using Hermit Crab Salt at a rate of 1 teaspoon per 100ml, make sure you use heavy bowls as Land Hermit Crabs will easily tip over light containers.

Diet Like all animals, Land Hermit Crabs have special dietary needs. Their staple diet should be specially formulated Hermit Crab pellets which contains all the vitamins and minerals they need. As a treat they can also be offered corn flakes, shredded coconut, apple and other varieties of fruit. Ensure they are given fresh food daily.

Shells One of the fascinating things about Land Hermit Crabs is that they live in other creatures discarded shells. As they grow they will leave their old shell and find another larger one to move into. To assist the crabs with this, a few spare shells should be kept in the aquarium for such occasions. As the crabs can be fussy about which shell should be their new home; make sure that the shells are only slightly larger then the one that they are currently living in. We currently have in stock hermit Crab Starter kits with all you need for your new friends, and the crabs will be in store soon aswell.

Pictured, Shaun and Tim surrounded by the keen workshop participants.

Once again, young performers of the Snowy Mountains have been lucky enough to experience a fantastic workshop, hosted by the Tim Draxl Performing Arts Fund. On Saturday October 24 at Jindabyne Central School, the hall rang out with the delightful sounds from a Musical Theatre Workshop led by well known director/ singer/ actor/ dancer, Shaun Rennie. Shaun, who is at present directing ‘Rent’ at the Hayes Theatre in Sydney, began the day with a warm up of great dance movements which, as well as being fun managed to brush away any ‘ stage nerves’ the seventeen young performers may have had about singing solo later in the day. He then introduced tips on contact, voice and confidence, all an integral part of acting, which he described as ‘a passionate pursuit of objectives.’

Shaun taught the students a basic sign language which they used to accompany the song, ‘525, 600 minutes’ from ‘Rent’. The same sign language illustrating ‘connection’ was used for a performance of ‘Will I?’ also from ‘Rent’, which the 17 performers presented beautifully at the day’s conclusion in the form of a moving ‘round’ of sign language. Each student, aged between 12 and 18 presented their own song from a chosen Musical which was appraised by Shaun in a helpful and constructive manner. Those lucky enough to be present were entertained by a variety of songs from musicals such as, ‘Wicked’, ‘Matilda’, ‘Annie’, ‘Oliver’, ‘West Side Story, ‘Willy Wonka’, ‘The Little Mermaid’, ‘Chicago’ and ‘Grease’. Each performance was noticeably lifted on the second attempt

after Shaun’s experienced and gentle guidance. The success of the workshop was evident in feedback from parents and teenagers. ‘That was the best day of my life!’ said one participant. The Tim Draxl Performing Arts Fund committee would like to thank Shaun for his time and fantastic energy, Tim Draxl, whom we all love to see back in his home town of Jindabyne, Ms Sheena Perry, for her time and her constant commitment to the performing arts, Anne Foster in the canteen for her delicious lunch and all local schools across the Monaro for encouraging their students to take up the opportunities presented. Thank you also to the Cooma Visitor Centre and the Snowy Region Visitor Centre, Jindabyne for their continued support of the Tim Draxl Fund.

Music: Count Us In at CNPS On Thursday, Cooma North Public School took part in the ‘Music: Count Us In’ event which had students all across Australia joining in to sing the same song at the same time. All of the Cooma North students participated in singing the song they learnt specially for the event. It was called ‘Gold’ and was written by four students selected from around the country with help from famous musicians John Foreman, Marcia Hines and Tom Diesel. The performance coincided with Cooma North Public’s A wonderful musical performance by the students of Cooma North Public School on Thursday. Grandparents Day.

the

postman calls

This has been a big year for the Monaro in terms of historic happenings. This week we commemorate the 100th anniversary of The Men from Snowy River march as marchers pass through our towns. Last weekend wrapped up the 150th celebrations of Hazeldean Merino Stud and St Paul’s Church also had more celebrations for its sesquicentenary. All these goings-on may be the reason the poor old Postman is feeling a bit jaded. Either that or there is so much happening all at the one time that it is difficult to keep up sometimes. This weekend is a prime example – where does one start if one wants to squeeze everything in on Saturday? Motor Fest, busking, Snowy Ride, school fete, Bocce Cooma Cup weekend, Raglan exhibition - it’s all on this Saturday. Good luck getting around to everything.. And if you backed the winner of this year’s Melbourne Cup - well done. It was a difficult field this year.

Betty says thanks and goodbye Editor, This week Monaro Freight will be delivering free of charge, 109 rugs to Wrap with Love headquarters in Sydney.

Firstly, I would like to thank Mark Revelant for supplying the transport free, also South East Printing and Boyce Chartered Accountants for photo-copying the Wrap with Love at no charge and Cooma Power Equipment for supplying the boxes twice a year. Let’s not forget the Cooma Library (Pam the librarian and the staff do a great job looking after the completed rugs and bags of squares left there. All this has been a terrific help to me and I have appreciated it very much. Now down to the people who year in and year out either knit, crochet, patchwork or sew squares together. They are the ones who really care about the homeless in Australia and overseas. Without them there would be no Cooma Wrap with Love and to them I am truly grateful.

1916 march re-enactment

The choir ready to give voice in Bombala yesterday.

Sam Tonks With the Light Horse Brigade leading the way, the great Men from Snowy River March Re-enactment commenced on Sunday, and could not have looked more impressive as it stepped off in Delegate. The small village was decked out in patriotic decorations for the day, with many locals and visitors dressing in period costume to add to the atmosphere of the highly anticipated event. Drummers and pipers followed the Light Horse down the main street, with the famed Men from Snowy River themselves starting off their proud march to the sound of applause. Indicating the significance of the event, they were accompanied by the Federation Guard, who were in turn followed by the marching descendants of the original Snowy River Men. With other members of the community, including the RSL Sub-Branch, school children and even the local pony club bringing up the rear, the proud procession made its way to the Delegate School of Arts. Here Flight Lieutenant Michael Brady welcomed the crowd and led the ceremony, which included a Welcome to Country, a blessing from Rev Judy Holdsworth, an address from MP Peter Hendy and a poem recited by local student, Lachlan Sellers. A highlight of the ceremony was the performance of the Snowy Mob Choir and accompanying school children, with the choir charming the audience in their period costume and old time marching songs. Again illustrating the importance of the reenactment, a very special guest speaker addressed the crowd, with retired Air Marshall, David Evans, the former senior commander of the Royal Australian Air Force welcomed to the stage.

Mr Evans warmly congratulated all involved in the endeavour and reflected on why the original Snowy River Men Janice Lewis and her mother, Joan Joanes of Will Horton as piper with drummer boys Noah Cole and volunteered for service. Delegate dressed up on Sunday for the march. Toby Jones. He felt that this was partly because the Delegate community of 1916 were all about helping each other, and said that he felt that had not changed to this day. Mr Evans made a lengthy and interesting address touching on the Aussie soldiers of WWI, at one point quoting Paul Keating in saying that “we have gained a legend� as he referred to the original Men from Snowy River.

Last week the 29 students of Dalgety Public School gave a wonderful performance of their stage show, It’s a Jungle Out There. The musical had Leo the Lion go on a search with his friends, a zebra and a leopard, for the key to happiness. After asking the cheetahs, monkeys and hyenas, Leo and his helpers find that it is the elephants that have the key to happiness, as they hey take the time to stop and smell mell the roses. Also last week, ek, the children enjoyed ed a visit from some me very special guests. s. It was their annual ual Grandparents Day. Many proud grandparents, parents,

family members and family friends came along to spend some time at school with the students.

very sociable, and attentive to all the guides. Total strangers stopped in the street or on public transport to comment on our students’ good manners and sensible behaviour.” The group visited the zoo, Old Melbourne Gaol, the MCG, Sovereign Hill, Seeing Eye Dogs, the aquarium and the Victorian Gallery.

Make a difference – Snowy Mountains CDAT looking for local help Do you care about drug and alcohol problems in our community? If you do and want to help make a difference, the Snowy Mountains Community Drug Action Team wants to hear from you. Community Drug Action Teams (CDATs) are groups of people who are working together in towns and cities across NSW to prevent harm from drugs and alcohol. They are an initiative of the Australian Drug Foundation. Here in the Snowies, a small team of dedicated parents, social service providers and interested parties meet regularly to discuss issues and most importantly to formulate actions. Snowy Mountains CDAT Chairperson Lynne Edwards said, “There are a range of opportunities available to get involved and help prevent alcohol and drug harm and to generally promote good health to our young people.� “Whether you want to become a CDAT member or just have a small amount of time to assist with a one-off event or have some advice, we’d love to hear from you,� said Lynne. “We’re looking for locals

to contribute their skills or to help other CDAT members with things like running local education evenings throughout the year. If you think you might be able to help out, please contact us.� Community Drug Action Teams are run and led by the community, for the community. The local CDAT team meet at the Snowy Mountains Neighbourhood Centre fortnightly, Tuesdays at 2pm, and are supported by Snowy River Shire Council, the Australian Drug Foundation and local police. To express your interest in getting involved in your local CDAT please contact Lynne via email lynne8@tpg. com.au or call the Snowy Mountains Neighbourhood Centre on 02 6457 1044. The NSW Government’s Community Engagement and Action Program (CEAP) is administered by the Australian Drug Foundation. The program oversees the coordination and operation of Community Drug Action Teams (CDATs). For more information about CDATs and drug and alcohol prevention go to www.adf.org. au

Snowy River alert DPI Water has issued a ‘rising river alert’ for the Snowy River between Jindabyne Dam and Dalgety for today. The river will rise due to the fifth and last high-flow event in a series of five planned environmental releases from Jindabyne Dam to the Snowy River during winter and spring 2015. All five high-flow events in the Snowy River during this period have been named by the five regional aboriginal communities - BidwellMaap, Wongalu, Southern MoneroYuin-Bolga, ManerooNgarigo and Wiradjuri - who recognise the link between these high flows and the health of the Snowy River. The fifth high-flow event for 2015 has been officially named ‘Bundrea Nooruun Bundbararn’, which means Waterhole

Big Lizard, in recognition of the Southern MoneroYuin-Bolga traditional people who have an enduring and strong connection to the Snowy River. The Southern MoneroYuin-Bolga traditional people live in the lower Snowy River and high flow events are linked to their traditional belief system. ‘Bundrea Nooruun Bundbararn’ was a central part of the Southern Monero-YuinBolga peoples’ customs, language and values that are all interwoven with the waters. The high flow releases are the key to future protection of traditional sites and places of significance and will sustain these cultural resources. The highest flow rate will occur at Jindabyne Dam from 8am to 4pm and will be equivalent to

2,973 megalitres per day for the eight hour period. For the remainder of today the flow rate will be equivalent to 1,869 megalitres per day. The flow rate will drop back to 1,007 megalitres per day tomorrow. The environmental changes from this release are expected to be greatest between the dam wall to the junction with the Delegate River. However, the pulse will be noticeable down to the estuary in Victoria. It is expected to see the river water level at Dalgety rise from 0.98m to 1.32m, a rise of 0.34m.

Paintings and Ceramics – new Raglan exhibition The Bowls and the Beautiful, an exhibition of paintings and ceramics by two well known Cooma artists, Brigitte Mackay and Petra Murphy, opens at the Raglan Gallery Saturday 7 November. This is Petra and Brigitte’s fourth combined exhibition at the Raglan. Their previous combined show, Pigment and Clay in 2012, featuring ceramics and paintings, and was a popular sellout. Their latest exhibition explores the artists’ love of nature and the environment and showcases Brigitte’s iconic still life paintings in oils, acrylic and water colour as well as pastels, drawings and printmaking. F l o w e r s , landscapes and scenes of historic

Lambie Street, form part of Brigitte’s work. “I enjoy exploring various topics using a variety of media in my art making� said Brigitte. For this exhibition Petra created large bowl forms using coarse stoneware clay, some carved and textured, for use as garden or patio sculpture. “I have also made a series of wheel formed bowls with carved and painted surface treatment�, said Petra. Come and meet the artists at the opening on November 7 at 3pm. The exhibition concludes 28 November. Opening times for the Raglan Gallery in Lambie Street Cooma are Wednesday to Sunday 9.30 to 4.30.

Artists Petra Murphy and Brigitte Mackay.

The students of St Joseph’s Bombala last week celebrated the central place that reading has in their lives, both in and out of school, by dressing up as their favourite book character in the school’s annual Book Parade. There was a full range of characters from the classics of Alice in Wonderland through to Harry Potter and friends; it’s also amazing after all these years that we are still trying to find out where Wally is! That literary luminary, the mysterious Book Wizard, also put in an appearance as he tried to enthuse the passing parade about

Cooma Golf Club needs you With ever increasing costs and dropping membership from over 350 players in the 90’s to less than 170 members today, Cooma Golf Club is finding it increasingly difficult to make ends meet. The course is one of the many attractions the Cooma area has

to offer visitors and the community with local residents seeing the course as a positive for the town. Cooma Golf Club is one of the oldest and proudest golf clubs in Australia. Founded in 1903, it has serviced the Cooma-Monaro and Snowy Mountains communities with a renowned facility that provides social cohesion, leisure, sport and significant fund raising for local charities and projects such as the Monaro Early Intervention Service (over

$42,000). On Sunday 15th of November a Special Golf Day is being organised by Col Langdon (who runs Sportspower) with the aim of raising money for essential maintenance and clubhouse repairs. There are some outstanding prizes and sports memorabilia on offer for the auction once the three person ambrose has concluded. In the past, the golf club has also been the breeding ground for a number of talented juniors who have gone on to carve out very successful professional golf careers. The Club continues to run junior golf clinics for both boys and girls however does find it difficult to compete with paid junior development officers some sports enjoy. A fire in 1990 completely destroyed the weatherboard clubhouse and members set about re-building the current clubhouse that was opened in 1991 and at that time the level of support by golfers, council, local community groups and residents was unsurpassed. The entire town came together to help with the clubhouse reconstruction. The same level of support is now needed again to keep

the club viable into the future. The Club remains committed to the delivery of an outstanding course, however, like many social sporting clubs has been less able to put aside money for repairs and improvements of any significance. Long gone are the stuffy old days of ridiculous rules over everything from hats to shoes. Now the atmosphere is relaxed and very much about getting together with a few friends for a social hit and some exercise out in the fresh air. The club offers great value membership by any comparison with Canberra clubs double or triple the cost of joining. For $260 an introductory membership for one year is a bargain, or corporate sponsorship for a business from $1700.00 offers owners and employees membership with families and juniors thrown into the membership mix. Cooma golf club has had its share of difficulties with fires etc. but for over 100 years the club has provided Cooma with another sports option and social venue. We can’t afford to lose the facility - Cooma without a golf club is not an option.

RUNNING.. Hell no or hell yes!?!? Do you RUN? Do you want to RUN? Do you get aches and pains when you RUN? The team at Fortitude Physiotherapy CAN HELP YOU! Fortitude Physiotherapy physiotherapist Lara Hansford attended a Running Workshop in Sydney over the weekend. The course looked at screening runners, assessing the injured runner and modification of running technique for prevention of injuries. “Running is a product of integrated movements of several joints and body segments and runningrelated injuries estimated to range between 50% and 79% of reported musculoskeletal injuries” Whether you are new to running, a seasoned runner or an athlete this assessment is for you.

Fortitude Physiotherapy now offer one hour running assessments by qualified physiotherapists. Clients will be given immediate feedback, recommendations and skills to practice to improve their running style. Appointments for a running assessment can be made by calling 6452 7782 or by email to lhansford@coreplus.com. au


A FUNDRAISING EVENT FOR

making a DIFFERENCE for CHILDREN with CANCER Snowy Ride celebrates 15 years of raising funds for childhood cancer research 5

It’s time to get revved up for the 15th annual Honda Snowy Ride on Saturday 7 November, 2015. Registrations are still open for the ride, which is hosted by the Steven Walter Children’s Cancer Foundation, and can be made online at www.snowyride.org.au. One of the unique things about the Snowy Ride is not just that it has been coming to the Snowy region and supporting the local community for the past 15 years, but also that you don’t even have to take part in the ride to be a winner. Every person who enters and pays the $60 registration fee goes straight into

crowd. Plenty of riders are expected to either base themselves in and around Cooma or pass through visiting the Snowy Ride checkpoint which is located in Centennial Park on Sharp Street. And what is the Snowy Ride all about? Whilst the riding is front and centre, the driving force behind the ride is to raise funds for research into a cure for childhood cancer. The Snowy Ride was born after Steven Walter sadly lost his battle with childhood cancer aged just 19 in 2000. Before he died he asked his family and friends to do what they could to raise money for

the draw for two amazing Honda motorcycles which have been generously provided by long term sponsor Honda MPE Australia. Another highlight will be all the action taking place in Cooma, which is again a focal point of the event. Cooma has been one of the busiest checkpoints over the course of the last 15 years that the Snowy Ride has been taking place. This year will be no different with a big weekend planned in Cooma to make the most of the expected

research into a cure so that one day no other kid had to go through what he went through. Aiming to make his dream a reality, Steve’s family and friends came up with the idea for a charity motorcycle ride in the Snowy Mountains region. Steve had a love of motorcycles and the Snowy Ride is everything he’d love in a weekend. Friends, family, motorcycles and having fun. Continued on page 30...

Continued from page 29... Fifteen years later, and the ride is still going strong, with an average of more than 2000 riders entering each year. Part of that success is the way in which the Snowy Mountains community has embraced the cause and showed its support. “We work closely with NSW Police, NSW Roads & Maritime Services, National Parks & Wildlife Service, local councils and some wonderful community-minded local businesses in the Snowy Region region who all contribute to making the ride as safe and enjoyable as possible for everyone involved,” said Sue Walter, Director of Steven Walter Children’s Cancer Foundation, and Steve’s mum. “It was Steve’s passion for riding motorcycles that drove us to create the Snowy Ride and we’re thrilled that so many motorcyclists from across Australia have and continue to support our mission to find a cure for childhood cancer. “Fifteen years on from Steve’s passing and the Snowy Ride

COOMA

is still attracting riders from all walks of life to contribute to our vital cause. I think Steve would be so proud of what is being achieved in his memory,” Sue said. Since 2001, the Steven Walter Children’s Cancer Foundation (SWCCF) has donated more than $6 million towards childhood cancer research, with the majority of that directly raised through the Snowy Ride. “We are grateful to the thousands of riders and pillions who have taken part over the past fifteen years and thank them and our wonderful sponsors for their continued support. We also thank all of the local towns like Cooma who welcome us with open arms and help contribute to making our event a success each year,” she said. “This year we’re thrilled that our platinum sponsor, Honda MPE Australia, has provided not one, but two, amazing bikes as prizes. First prize in the Snowy Ride is a Honda VFR800F valued at $16,000 and a second prize of a Honda CB500X

WELCOME

valued at $9,000 – both including on road costs,” said Sue. Local businesses that have been long term supporters of the ride include Snowy Hydro, the National Parks & Wildlife Service and South East Printing. One of the most significant contributions from local sponsors is the Snowy Hydro Family Program which sees families with a child going through cancer treatment given a weekend away at the Snowy Ride. Over the past 15 years more than 60 families have been part of this program which has given them much needed time away as a family from the tough routine of hospitals and treatment. This year eight families will be taking part in the family program with 20 children travelling to the Snowy Region together for a fantastic weekend. Continued on page 31...

making a DIFFERENCE for CHILDREN with CANCER Continued from page 30... As for the Snowy Ride itself, plenty is planned to help celebrate fifteen years of raising funds for research into a cure for childhood cancer. The Brewster Brothers, who have loyally supported the Snowy Ride for 6 of its 15 years are back and will be performing on Saturday night in Thredbo. There will also be a rider skills test, Big Al’s BBQ on Friday 6 November and all the fun and colour of the mass ride, where participants are being encouraged to dress up. As well as Cooma and Thredbo, Snowy Ride checkpoints include Adaminaby, Dalgety, Berridale, Jindabyne, Bombala and Charlotte Pass. Checkpoints are only open on Saturday 7 November and open from 8am until 3pm, with the exception of Cooma which will close at 2pm. Over the years local communities have embraced the Snowy

Ride as a great way to fundraise with plenty of local schools and groups providing BBQs at checkpoints. The reason that this ride and Steven Walter Children’s Cancer Foundation’s mission of 100 percent survival for all children diagnosed with cancer is so important is that each week three Australian children lose their lives to cancer. This year alone 950 children aged between 0 to 18 years old will be diagnosed with cancer. So while in the last 50 years, survival rates have improved dramatically, and in some cases are up around 80 per cent, there is still plenty more work to do. So if you see a motorcyclist with a Snowy Ride sticker on their bike on 7 November, give them a wave and thumbs up for supporting such an important cause. Continued on page 32...

Snowy Hydro proudly supports Snowy Ride 2015 We are pleased to support Snowy Ride and the Steven Walter Foundation through the Snowy Hydro Family Program providing a well deserved break for children and their families who are affected by cancer.

November. Statistics on Childhood Cancer • Despite the steps forward that have been made in cancer research, in Australia today over 800 children are newly diagnosed with cancer each year. • F o r every 10 children diagnosed with cancer, three do not survive. • Here in Australia, that translates to three children losing their lives to cancer every week. Of those children who survive, many will have chronic health problems as a direct result of their treatments. • While childhood cancer represents only 1% of all cancers in Australia, the successful cure of a child

with cancer represents a massive gain to the community in terms of number of years of life saved. On the flip side, every child who dies of cancer, represents a massive loss in the number of years lost. • Most cancer treatments used today are general cytotoxics, which have been in use for more than 40 years, and cause high toxicity to normal tissues. Although necessary to treat their cancers, these drugs cause significant health care costs for children receiving chemotherapy, and, represents 20-25% of the work for each of the nine children’s hospitals in Australia. • One third of child cancer survivors will have a major health problem in young adulthood as a result of their successful therapy.

Mixed quality yarding at Cooma sale

Pest animal review Landholders and the broader community are being encouraged to provide feedback on an Issues Paper exploring opportunities for reform of pest animal management across NSW. The Issues Paper for the State-wide review of pest animal management is the first step of a review of pest animal management in NSW being carried out by the Natural Resources Commission (NRC) at the request of the Premier. The review was one of the preelection commitments made to the NSW Farmers Association in 2013. NRC Commissioner John Keniry said, “We believe it is important to take a fresh look at what is and is not working when it comes to managing pest animals. Nothing has been ruled in or out, and if we are truly going to

Wednesday November 4, 2015

tackle the pest animal problem, then we need the NSW community’s help on how to get there.� Currently pest animals are estimated to cost the Australian economy $1 billion annually. They have significant social and emotional impacts on farmers and rural communities, and 40 percent of NSW listed threatened species are affected by pest animals. A series of meetings is about to get underway around the state to explore different on-ground issues of pest animal management. The NRC will tour North Coast, Riverina, Central West-Western, South East and Northern Tablelands regions to listen to stakeholder ideas and concerns and explore suggestions and opportunities for improved management approaches.

There was a very mixed quality yarding of sheep and lambs at Cooma last Tuesday. A few pens of fresh new lambs sold well with the top pen making $120. Last season lambs also sold to $10 with most making $85 to $110. Wether numbers were limited and sold to $100 with ewes selling to $86.

‘Wormaggedon’ cometh with widespread drench resistance is it leading to ‘wormaggeddon’, resistance was on 44% of farms. administer a simple quarantine By Patrick Kluver, Livestock in excess of $260M per year. Drench resistance is a major where drenches become Sheep producers need to stop drench consisting of four different Biosecurity Network The recent discovery of reduced efficacy of the new drenches Zolvix and Startect on different farms in the New England has been a wake up call for the industry. This news, and a recently published study of drench resistance in sheep worms in The Australian Veterinary Journal, should remind us to use sensible integrated parasite management for worm control, with high levels of resistance to all older drench and their combinations raising the prospect of widespread but hidden production losses. The impact of roundworms is the single highest animal health cost to the sheep industry, costing

contributor, causing production losses including reductions in body weight gain, reproductive rates and wool growth, and increased risk of flystrike. As co-author of the paper, which was published in The Australian Veterinary Journal, I was surprised by the high levels of drench resistance identified. Resistance was found to be widespread resistance among the common sheep nematodes to all broad spectrum drenches, even potent macrocyclic lactones like moxidectin and abamectin. The industry has been using these drenches to control worms in sheep for the past 30 years without a break, and resistance is the inevitable outcome. The risk

ineffective. • In New South Wales it was found that 56% of farms have resistance to moxidectin and 80% resistance to abamectin, and even abamectin based triple drenches were resistant on around 40% of farms. • In Victoria 40% of farms have resistance to moxidectin and 67% of farms have resistance to abamectin. All farms have resistance to the old BZ Lev combinations. • In South Australia around 50% of farms had resistance to moxidectin and abamectin was resistant on 75% of farms. • In Western Australia abamectin resistance was on 55% of farms and moxidectin

relying on older classes of drench and integrate new drench classes into their programs, along with biannual faecal egg count reduction tests, effective quarantine drenching of newly purchased livestock, within-season rotation of drenches and using older active ingredients in combination where possible. The key to good worm control is monitoring resistance when you give drench and through faecal egg count reduction trials every two years. Once you know what is working, use effective drenches only when you have to – based on monitoring worm egg counts. Good biosecurity practices are invaluable.

Farmers welcome innovative and practical telecommunications review NSW Farmers has welcomed the release of the Regional Telecommunications Review 2015 which makes innovative and practical recommendations that could benefit farmers and rural communities. NSW Farmers telecommunications spokesman and Girilambone farmer Anthony Gibson said: “Access to quality, affordable telecommunications is a top priority for farmers across NSW.� Many NSW Farmers members have experienced extreme frustrations due to ‘shaping’ or limiting of their internet access on the current satellite service. Mr Gibson said the review’s recommendation to extend the NBN’s fixed wireless network will be essential if farmers are to overcome issues associated with limits to speed or data allowance on a satellite service. The review also recommended significant changes to the current Universal Service Obligation, arguing that it should be extended

A comprehensive review is underway into the system protecting Australia’s honey and pollination industries, to ensure it continues to employ the latest technology and place its resources in the most strategic way. The National Bee Pest Surveillance Program (NBPSP) is a world-leading initiative designed to ensure early detection of a range of exotic pests and diseases, such as Varroa mite, that could devastate both managed and feral hives. NBPSP facilitator Sam Malfroy, from Plant Health Australia, says regular, effective surveillance is vital. “We need to have as many eyes, as often as possible, in the right places to provide reassurance that no new threats have arrived in the country, and to let us respond as quickly as possible if one is found,� Mr Malfroy said.

to cover ‘voice and data’ and that a permanent fund should be established to cover ‘necessary loss-making’ regional telecommunications infrastructure. Mr Gibson said: “The growing dependence of rural Australians on reliable, fast internet for communication and business makes a strong case modernising the Universal Service Obligation. “We commend the review chair Deena Shiff and the committee for their excellent and comprehensive review. “Our members await the government’s response and in the meantime will continue to pursue improved telecommunications across regional NSW,� Mr Gibson concluded. The review, which is conducted every three years, had a mandate to examine the adequacy of telecommunication services in regional, rural and remote parts of Australia. It recognised the failures of the current interim satellite service and the inherent limits of any future satellite solution.

“For eradication to work, we need to identify a new pest or disease close to where it has entered the country, before it has had a chance to spread into a large number of bee colonies. “This review will look at different scenarios around an incursion, and investigate for each of them how long it would take us to detect a pest via various surveillance methods, how far it is likely to get from a port, and our chances of containing an outbreak. “The final report will provide a cost:benefit analysis that outlines ideal methods, locations and frequency of surveillance, as well as the costs of not detecting something like Varroa early enough, so we can continue to adjust our procedures.� The NBPSP is a partnership between industry and government, with funding from the honey bee industry, pollination-reliant plant industries and the Federal Government, with in-kind support from State and Territory governments. The Federal Department of Agriculture called for a review of its effectiveness ahead of a new funding agreement, after the 2014 Senate inquiry into the Future of the beekeeping and pollination service industries in Australia recommended the government ‘confirm, and consider enlarging, its commitment’ to the NBPSP.

Windy first race of sailing season Under 14 cricket win Fourteen sailors braved windy condition s on Lake Jindabyne on Saturday October 31. Cooper de Pagter and Tom rigged their Hobie 16 and sailed around, but chose not to race. Eight boats raced in heat one of Lake Jindabyne Sailing Club’s 2015/16 Pointscore series. Steve Ashe and Martin Bannister sent the boats off from the beach. All zoomed off towards the Club mark except Tim Symons whose Hobie 17 got stuck “in irons� causing him to give the others a head start followed by a chase. The S/W breeze increased in strength and swung back to the N/W, creating more waves and causing all the sailors, rusty after a long Winter to battle the wind and waves. Everyone had to steer through the steep waves on the tricky work from the Quarry mark to the Peninsular mark for the first time. Randy Wieman and Errol Hanlon led Barney and Thomas Davis for Hobie 16 supremacy while Ian Foster on his Hobie 17 kept chasing. Alistair, Lexie and Lucie Cox followed on their Hydra 16. Nick Kennedy bashed through the waves on his Finn while leading laser sailors Steve Osborne and Ross Tattersall. Tim bought up the rear, The cats all surged to the front of the fleet, Tim finally passing the smaller monohulls and kept chasing the other cats. After a two triangle lap course, the fleet headed back to finish on the beach. Ian arrived first with Randy and Errol 6 seconds behind. Barney and Thomas finished next followed by Tim who passed Alistair and the girls

at the last mark. Nick led the mono-hulls home followed by Steve and Ross a bit further behind after recovering from several capsizes. The yardstick corrected times mixed up the results giving Nick the win from Steve, Randy, Ian, Barney and Thomas, Tim, Alistair and Ross. All the sailors enjoyed the challenge and getting back onto the lake on their boats. The next race at Lake Jindabyne Sailing Club will be the first Twilight race on Wednesday November 4. Lake Jindabyne Sailing Club runs races on Wednesday evenings with the cats starting at 5:55pm and Saturday afternoons starting at 3pm. So, get that boat out of the shed and come down to the lake to join in the fun.

Monaro U14s travelled to Goulburn for a match on the turf wicket at Seiffert oval. With overnight rain, there was a bit of a delay to the start, to allow a bit more time for the wicket to dry out. Goulburn won the toss and sent Monaro in. The turf wicket was difficult to play on and Monaro were in trouble early and were 3 – 15 after 8 overs. This brought captain Archie Allen to the crease with Matt Rebus and this pair set about building some sort of an innings for Monaro. They steadied the ship and worked their way through two changes of bowlers to put on 42 runs before Rebus (16) was given out lbw. Archie built on his total with help from Noah and then Will Saddler at the crease and when he was dismissed for a great captains knock of 58, the score had reached 118. Good late hitting from Darnel Bartlett (10) saw Monaro

reach a very defendable 128 runs in the 40th over. Our bowling started perfectly with Jake Quodling (2-11) taking a wicket with his first ball. Remy Oldrey (3-11) also picked up early wickets and Goulburn were 3 -5 after 3 overs, then 5 – 19 at the end of the openers 10 over stint. Some resistance followed with slow and careful batting from the Gouburn players, until Will Cahill (17) broke the next partnership. From there, Monaro shared the remaining wickets with one each to Archie Allen (1-10), Jakob Asanovski (1-10) and Russ Haylock (1-2). Goulburn’s innings finished all out 49. This week coming, Monaro Under 14s and 16s travel to play the Highlands teams in Bowral. There will be cricket in Cooma the following weekend and we would love a bit of local support for these games.

Denis’ marathon run to raise funds for MS research

Denis Reid was accompanied by children from Cathcart and Bombala on a stormy 10km section of his run. The 67 year old raised funds and awareness for MS by running from Merimbula to Jindabyne over the weekend.

Denis and his grandson, Hunter crossed the Snowy River in Dalgety with an Aussie flag and the war medals of Denis’s uncles. Hilstones, lightning and a change of plans were all thrown at Denis Reid as he took on a mammoth run for MS over the weekend, but he triumphed over them all! Denis set out to run to from Merimbula to Jindabyne over the 48 hours, raising money and awareness for MS, a debilitating disease which his wife has now been struggling with for years. The 67 year old Denis started out strong in Merimbula on Saturday morning, being joined by a jogger from Melbourne who was visiting the area and thought he’d show some support. They made great time to the base of Mt Darragh, but the long, steep mountain road certainly put Denis to the test as he forged on alone with his crew. “Over the past 12 months I’ve run over 3000kms in preparation, as well as doing hill and weight work, but the mountain was still very hard going,” Denis said. “By the time I got even near the top, I really was a spent force.” Throw in a big storm that saw the tired Denis running in heavy rain, hail and lightning, and his dedication to the run was certainly challenged. Luckily for Denis, a group of children from Bombala and Cathcart were there to greet him, and as they joined him on the road to run the10kms into Cathcart, they gave him the friendly push he needed to keep going. “They really were tremendous, and I just couldn’t give up with them by my side! I was able to dig that little bit deeper and run along with them,” Denis said. “The youngest little fellow was just two years old, and at one stage there were ten kids there on the road running with me. It was wonderful to have a chat with them as we ran along, and I’m so grateful both to the

even during it on the road, with Denis being kids and to their parents for really making the straight into the lake to cool down! Although Denis was somewhat concerned grateful for the wonderful support that has effort.” The kids too were soaked in the storm, but about cutting the Bibbenluke section of come from all corners. There’s still time, with those who would skipped along happily the whole while, and his run out, we can all agree that it was an will no doubt remember their part in Denis’s outstanding effort over a very difficult route, like to donate being urged to visit www.give. and he has the admiration of the region for everydayhero.com, and searching for Denis MS run for some years to come! Reid’s ‘Sea to Snow’ page. While Denis had planned to run from taking it on for such a worthwhile cause. Donations came in both before the run and Cathcart into Bibbenluke and onwards into the night, a phone call from Dalgety soon changed his plans, with the community 2015 NSW COMMUNITY RACE CLUB OF THE YEAR there having prepared a big fundraising evening. Denis moved straight onto Dalgety, cutting short part of the run, but being welcomed by well wishers at the Buckley’s Crossing Hotel who hosted a barbecue to help raise funds for MS, which was of course the aim of the entire exercise. SNOWY MOUNTAINS NSW The following morning, in order to recognise the Men from Snowy River March, Denis crossed the Snowy River wearing his uncles’ war medals and waving the Australian flag, making a very emotional crossing with his grandson, Hunter. Another moving moment was his visit to the Beloka Cemetery, where Denis laid flowers on the graves of his parents, grandparents and other family members as he continued on Gates open at 10am.

Lynn rides to conquer Monaro District Cricket results cancer Lynn McCarthy has managed to raise $3,102 in the recent Ride to Conquer Cancer charity event. The 200km ride was done over October 10 and 11, with 905 riders taking part in the journey from Homebush Bay to Windsor and back again. In total, $3.6 million was raised for the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, which is a cancer centre at the Royal Prince Albert hospital in Sydney. Lynn says she did the ride for the people in her life that have lost their lives to cancer and for those she knows who are still fighting cancer, as well as their families.

“The ride was probably the hardest thing I have ever done in my life,” says Lynn, who although is a keen rider, and did many hours of training in the lead up to the event, found the distance to be a challenge. “I am glad I did it, and happy to be able to help make a difference for people fighting cancer and work towards a cure.”

Berridale v Cats Cats won the toss and elected to bat. Cats lost an early wicket but Monaro’s premier batsman Chris Khoury (61) knuckled down against some quality line and length bowling. At 2/52 at drinks the Cats were in a sound position with plenty of wickets in hand for a late over assault. Chris Khoury and Kaeliff Khoury (17) put on 65 for the third wicket. Andrew Bartell (1/23) got the well deserved breakthrough with a very smartly held catch from Matthew

Robinson. Harry Sidhu (42) joined Monaro’s premier batsman and provided an instant lift to the run rate. Andrew O’Keeffe (2/35) removed Chris Khoury and a middle order collapse followed and the Cats slumped to 6/107 off 34 overs. Remy Oldrey (6) and Issa (8) provided good support for Sidhu as the runs flowed in the last 9 overs. James Cahill (3/32) had the task of bowling the final over the first ball he bowled Issa, next ball a catch at mid on to Jack Parkyn and the third ball Jack Parkyn took a one handed screamer to give James Cahill a hatrick!! Cats all out in the 45th over for 165. Berridale got off to steady start getting to 19 before Sidhu (1/20) removed Alex Bruce (8), Andy Bartell (23) and Matthew Bruce (23) looked in control before Damien Azzo Asanovski (3/14) bowled Andy Bartell right on drinks. Benjamin Hearn (23) joined Matty Bruce and the pair were looking comfortable until a run out saw Berridale start to waiver with Ben Hearn stepping on his stumps off the bowling L Saunders (2/17) a short time later, Berridale at 4/84 and sporting a long tail battled on with James Cahill (20) and Will Cahill (12*) putting a fright into the Cats in the final overs. Berridale finished all out in the 44th over for 147. PVJ vs Coffeys Peak View Jerangle took on Coffeys at Rotary Oval and after winning the toss Coffeys elected to bowl under cloudy skies. PVJ got away to a solid start being 1/34 after 10 overs.

With the fall of the first wicket Kevin Fraser 25 was joined by Matthew Moxon 21 who pushed along the scoring. With two quick wickets that saw Moxon and Ewart depart, this saw a strong middle order partnership between Craig Bottom 27 and Isaac William 32 put the pressure back on Coffeys and some late hitting from Mark Askell 30 meant that PVJ posted a competitive 8/194 off their 45 overs. Major contributors with the ball for Coffeys were Mark Williams 2/22 and Nathan Thompson 2/39. In reply Coffeys got away to a shaky start being 2/0 after four overs some good hitting from Scott Dial 39 saw Coffeys start to put pressure back on the PVJ bowlers. The introduction of Matthew Moxon into the bowling attack saw him apply the breaks to the quick scoring. With Moxon taking 4/22 he put the pressure back on the Coffeys batsmen, a late order partnership between Marcus Caldwell 32 and Paul Lloyd 24 gave PVJ a late scare but in the end Coffeys were bowled out for 132 giving PVJ a 62 run win. Other major wicket takers for PVJ were James Ewart 4/24 andNathan Boate 2/13. PVJ 8/194 Coffeys 10/132 Dalgety v Jindabyne Jindabyne have made it three straight wins to start the 2015/16 cricket season after defeating last year’s runnersup Dalgety under a heavy sky at Dalgety Showgrounds. Dalgety made a bright start with Les Taylor (23) playing some good shots

while Iain Elliott played his best knock of the season to top score with 78 not out. Some quick runs from Aron Rogers (27) and Jake Hedger (23) saw the Dalgety boys post a challenging 5/193 with wickets shared between the Jindabyne bowlers. 193 wasn’t quite enough as new boy Callan Andrews opened up with a patient 28 before Chad Stevens (48) and Tyler Greening (76*) put on 107 for the fourth wicket to see Jindabyne sneak home with three overs to spare. Under 14s The Monaro U14s played Goulburn at Seiffert Oval. Goulburn sent us in and we were in trouble early losing three quick wickets. Great innings from captain Archie Allen (58) and Matty Rebus (16) got us back on track. When Matty was dismissed Noah Saddler (4) and Archie began to lift the run rate. Some good late hitting from Darnel Bartlett (10) got us up to 128. Our bowling started perfectly with Jake Quodling (2-11) taking a wicket with his first ball. Remy Oldrey (311) also picked up early wickets as the Goulburn innings collapsed to 5-14 after 8 overs. The next pair managed to put on 13 but they were broken by Will Cahill (1-7). The next wickets came steadily to Archie Allen (1-10), Jakob Asanovski (110) and Russ Haylock picking up the last three wickets. Goulburn’s innings finished all out 49. A great win today boys. Thanks again to Azzo. Next week we play Highlands in Bowral.

highest gun club in Australia

Cooma Field and Game has gone out on a limb and laid claim to being the Highest Gun Club in Australia. They are confident enough with the claim that they have erected a new sign at the front entrance. Kindly donated by

JOIN US FOR A ROUND OF GOLF AT THE COOMA GOLF CLUB

Cooma Signs, the sign leaves no doubt that the club thinks it’s got the altitude over the rest of the gun clubs in the country. Eddie Tierney owner of Cooma Signs and longtime club member thinks the claim is pretty safe. “At 1250m we are pretty high” said Ed. “There are some small clubs in Victoria that might be in the hunt but 1250m is a fair way up there” Cooma Field and Game started in 1980 on a different site at Rock Flat between Cooma and Nimmitabel. Originally called the “White Rock Gun Club” because of the colour of the rock in the local quarry. They

soon out grew the smaller location and moved to the current location at Middlingbank in 1992. The club now boasts 90 members and is on the up and up. The Easter Classic this year will be in its 33rd year and sees 150 shooters from around the country compete over four days. Events include a state selection shoot, the NSW 20guage state championship and the NSW side x side state championship. 2016 will also see the inaugural running of the NSW state tri gun championship. This event will see the combined score over three days of the three types of shotguns used, 20gauge, side x side and over under. It is hoped this event will

become a national event in the near future. It’s not all about the experienced shooter though. With sporting clays being the fastest growing shooting discipline in the country Cooma is keen to encourage new shooters as well. The club has held very successful “Have a go” and “Bring a mate” days in the past. November will see the 10th year of “Bring a mate Day” on Sunday the 15th. You don’t need to know anyone from the club just show up and we will find you a friend to look after you for the day. Call Andrew on 0413 013 0r Adam 0410507279 or visit www.coomafieldandgame. org.

Bombala Public School’s Dakota Miles recently travelled to Sydney to compete in the PSSA State Athletics Carnival in the Senior Girl’s Discus. This was the culmination of almost a year’s dedicated training and hard competition at the local and then through district and regional levels. To have reached this high level of competition is a credit to Dakota and her family, particularly her mother who has spent many hours training and advising her, and she should be extremely proud of her efforts and achievements. Congratulations go to Dakota from all at Bombala Public School.
