Yamaga - Cooma exchange 2016 Cooma has welcomed the latest group of Japanese students to town for the bi-annual Yamaga visit.

A civic reception was held in the Snowy Monaro Regional Council (SMRC) chambers in Cooma on Monday with 20 students and eight support staff from Yamaga the guests of honour.

The students arrived on Saturday, commencing a weeklong stay in Australia. They spent the weekend getting to know their host families, before visiting the Australian War Memorial and Questacon on Sunday.

Mr Atsuo Kimura, who is accompanying the students, said the group was excited to strengthen the sister city relationship between Yamaga and Cooma. “All of us are so delighted to be here in Cooma. We’re very moved by the beautiful scenery.

We’ll tell everyone about your warm hospitality,� Mr Kimura said.

On Tuesday, Year 12 agriculture students from Monaro High School (MHS) showcased sheep mustering and sheep work to the 14 and 15-year-old Yamaga students.

It’s the first time in the bi-lateral exchange program Yamaga students have spent two days at MHS. Their week-stay concludes with a visit to Potaroo Wildlife

Park and the Eden Whale Museum. A farewell dinner with the students and their host families is set down for Wednesday night.

Fourteen local families are playing host to the Yamaga contingent. The McDonald family has welcomed Yuki Honda to their farm, showing her many aspects of rural life. “We’ve been showing her all the animals, it’s been very hands on,� Emma McDonald, who went on last year’s Cooma Lions Club exchange to Yamaga, said. “Yuki has really liked seeing the animals, especially our dogs and cows.�

Ms McDonald said the exchange program is a valuable initiative. “I really loved it in Yamaga and Japan. The culture is very different and I liked learning about the differences in their culture to Australia’s,� she said.

Snowy Monaro Regional Council Administrator, Dean Lynch, commented on the strong relations between the two towns during his address at the civic reception. “Relations between the two homes towns is very strong.

I loved your town when I was there six-years-ago,�

Administrator Lynch said. “Enjoy your stay, and tell your family about the great time you had in Cooma.�

The Yamaga students, their accompanying adults, and Cooma representatives came together for the civic reception.

Yamaga students joined Snowy Monaro Regional Council Administrator, Dean Lynch, at the civic reception on Monday.

Member of Monaro

JOHN BARILARO MP

Kath Freihaut from Monaro Regional Libraries joined Louise Nicholson, Cooma Salvation Army Captain, for the launch of the Salvos Christmas Appeal at Cooma Library on Friday.

The Salvation Army is calling on Snowy Monaro residents to dig deep in the lead up to Christmas, in a bid to provide hope for those struggling this festive season.

The Cooma branch of the Salvation Army launched their Christmas Appeal at Cooma Library last week with locals encouraged to donate non-perishable goods, new and quality gifts, and children’s toys to those in need.

Cooma Salvation Army Officer, Captain Louise Nicholson, said through the community’s support each year, the Christmas Appeal continues to deliver much needed relief for desperate families. “Last year through the generous support of our local community we were able to assist

about 65 families and individuals in need,�

Captain Nicholson said. “That’s abpout 120 children who have a happy Christmas thans to the generosity of the local community. We also assist about 20 families in Bombala.�

Captain Nicholson joined Monaro Regional Libraries (MRL) staff on Friday for the appeal’s launch. MRL has thrown their support behind the appeal with half of the non-perishable goods donated through their Food for Fines program donated to the Salvos.

The other half is handed over to St Vincent de Paul for their Christmas hampers.

The Food for Fines initiative runs until the end of November, where library users can wipe away their fines in exchange for non-

perishable foods.

Locals wishing to donate directly to the Salvo’s Christmas Appeal are being asked to deliver their items to the family store at 221 Sharp Street, Cooma. “People wanting to donate are best advised to drop their items off to our family store from 9am-5pm, Monday till Friday,� she said.

Captain Nicholson said despite such overwhelming generosity, each year The Salvation Army struggles to collect enough gifts for children aged 12 years of age and upwards. “Gift cards are great because teens love going shopping but those that we help often don’t get the chance due to their parents’

limited income.� “Gifts for newborns and babies under the age of 12 months are also very welcome.�

If you’re searching for the perfect present this Christmas, Captain Nicholson said the best gift to give is one of hope to less fortunate. “The joy, hope, and relief in the faces of those assisted is a real reminder of what Christmas is all about,�

Captain Nicholson said. ‘With your support we’ll be able to help even more people this year. “Christmas is the busiest time of the year for The Salvation Army.

We’re so grateful to the local community organisations and businesses who generously support

our Christmas Cheer operation. “Our supporters include Boyce Accountants, Fitness First, Snowy Mountains Grammar School and Gidjillys Preschool.�

Snowy Ride raises $250,000 plus Thousands of motorbikes roared through the Snowy Mountains over the weekend as part of the 2016 Snowy Ride.

Hundreds of bikes stopped at the Cooma checkpoint on Friday before they joined the 2207 riders for traditional final leg of the ride from Bullocks Flat to Thredbo.

Raising money for the Steven Walter Children’s Cancer Foundation, the Snowy Ride has become one of the most anticipated events on motorcycling calendar.

Since the first Snowy Ride in 2001, more than six million dollars has been raised to help find a cure for childhood cancer. This year’s instalment raised in excess of $250,000, with the final count still continuing.

Riding in his eighth Snowy Ride, Shane from Sydney said he looks forward to returning to the charity ride each year. “This supports a great cause and I love coming back each year,� Shane

said. “With the amount of riders stopping in towns throughout the region it helps these communities too.�

Paul Kearns stopped at the Cooma checkpoint in Centennial Park on Friday, his 15th straight year supporting the Snowy Ride. “I’ve only missed the first ride. I love the company and atmosphere. It’s a great gathering and it all helps raising money for a fantastic cause,�

Paul said.

Thredbo was a hive of activity on Saturday as all the riders converged on the village.

A cheque of $100,000 was handed over from Snowy Hydro’s CEO, Paul Broad, to the Steven Walter Children’s Cancer Foundation.

Last weekend the Australian National Busking Championships were held in Cooma with about 180 buskers exhibiting their talents and competing for the title. The Snowy Ride 2016 was also held and was a huge success as always and brought so many people to the area - with around 3,000 riders participating in the Ride. The MEA Spring Showjumping Competition was also on at the Cooma Showgrounds so it was an action packed weekend with something for everyone.

In other exciting news, the exchange students from Cooma’s sister city, Yamaga in Japan, are visiting Cooma this week. Council held a civic reception to welcome our visitors on Monday night and we were lucky enough to have a song and dance performed for us by the students. It was great to meet with the students and learn a bit about their culture and their aspirations for the future.

The Cooma-Monaro Railway (CMR) has been successful in their application for a funding grant to continue the station building, District Locomotive Engineer’s (DLE) office upgrade and heritage restoration.

After all the hard work put into the Cooma-yard precinct, a Transport Heritage NSW grant of $210,000 has been secured.

It will go a long way to furthering their dreams of utilising and keeping alive this wonderful Monaro icon.

“We’re pleased to be working with the CMR who are one of our significant custodians to preserve this important rail heritage precinct,” Andrew Moritz, CEO for Transport Heritage NSW, said.

“The funds we’ve facilitated

from the state government for this project will see significant reconstruction works undertaken to the main station and the DLE office.

“Transport Heritage NSW works with a number of community groups actively managing rail heritage sites and assets across NSW.” As well as contracting work to repair the buildings to a fit

and usable state, the grant allows CMR to begin planning for a future on-site transport heritage museum and crew rooms.

If you would like to be a part of the ongoing efforts within their organisation, contact manager@cmrailway.org.au or feel free to drop into the station between 9am and 5pm Monday to Wednesday.

Craft group donate to Auxiliary Cooma Craft Group recently made a generous donation of $1,500 to the Hospital Auxiliary. President of the Auxiliary Lorraine McGregor expressed her sincere thanks to the group, who raised money through the sales of their craft items made throughout the year.

The money is intended to go towards a CTG monitor, which has been requested by the maternity unit at Cooma Hospital.

The craft group is made up of about 20 ladies who meet every Tuesday at the Cooma Public School old hall.

DO YOU NEED TO REPORT AN ISSUE TO COUNCIL? If so, there are several ways you can do this to achieve the best outcome: 1. Ring 1300 345 345 and select the appropriate branch. Ask to speak to a customer service officer regarding your issue. A Customer Request will then be raised on Council’s electronic system and can be directed to the appropriate officer for action.

2. Go to Council’s website www.snowymonaro.nsw.gov.au and click on the Report an Issue button. You can then fill out a request online or send an email to council. Your request will then be lodged electronically and directed to the appropriate officer for action.

3. Email Council at council@snowymonaro.nsw.gov.au Your email will be received at the records section of Council where a customer request will be lodged and directed to the appropriate officer for action.

The above steps will ensure your request is lodged and is traceable at all times. Also your request is directed to the correct officer for attention.

It would be best if you do not leave messages on staff members’ phones, or email the officer direct as these methods can sometimes go astray and there is then no record of communication between yourself and council.

Cooma Toyota has welcomed the latest line of LandCruisers into its car yard with three new vehicles on display.

Touted as the workhorses of the LandCruiser range, the new Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series packs a serious punch as it sits in the Sharp Street dealership.

On offer are the Landcruisers 70 Series Workmate Single and Double Cab CabChassis.

Jason Kilpatrick, General Sales Manager, at High Country Automotive (of which Cooma Toyota is part of), said the new land cruisers have a fresh look and are ready to hit the streets.

“The all new land cruisers have been released and they’re currently in stock.

They’re ready to rock and roll.”

The single cab chassis comes with new and improved safety features, recently being awarded a maximum five star Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) five-star rating.

Changes made to the Toyota Landcruiser 70 single cab chassis to enable the increased safety rating include structural improvements to the chassis and occupant cabin, the addition of

head-protecting side curtain airbags, driver knee airbag, seat belt pre-tensioners and changes to the bonnet and seat designs.

Advanced seatbelt reminders are fitted to both front seats.

In addition to the safety upgrades, the new 70 Series range will be fitted with new injectors for better lowdown engine response, and the manual transmission has been revised to improve fuel economy, and lower noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels.

According to the Japanese car maker, Australian engineers subjected the updated Landcruiser 70 Series to over 100,000 kilometres of testing in some of the country’s harshest conditions, with around 70 per cent of this testing conducted off-road – from corrugated dirt roads to rugged cattle properties with severe washouts.

The workhorses of the LandCruiser range come with muscle and a purposeful look but don’t think for a moment those rugged good looks are just for appearances.

The Toyota Landcruiser 70 Series gets an upgrade to Euro 5 emissions compliance for its 4.5-litre V8 turbo-diesel engine.

Meet High Country Automotive’s Service Department They are the workers behind the scene.

Tucked away in the workshop of High Country Automotive is the diligent, and hardworking crew that comprises their service department.

With a healthy blend of experience and enthusiasm, the tightknit team is ready to service your much loved vehicle.

Jim Darley, Fixed Operations Manager, said the dealership has an emphasis on assisting prospective technicians into the industry.

“We like to get the young ones coming through. It’s a great environment for them to work in and we help them with further training,” Mr Darley said.

Mr Darley is more qualified than most to give his appraisals of

the service department crew, racking up more than three decades experience in the motor industry.

Returning to Cooma after living and working in Queensland, Mr Darley has been back at High Country for 18 months, his second stint with the company.

He looks after the general running of the department and ensuring customers are looked after when dealing with High Country Automotive.

Within the service department there are seven technicians. Three of the crew are qualified technicians with one crew member a qualified accessory fitter.

There are three apprentices: a second year Subaru apprentice, a first year Toyota apprentice, and a fourth

Rotaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quacking good effort It was a quacking effort by the Rotary Club of Cooma in their latest fundraising efforts for the Snowy Hyrdo SouthCare aero-medical helicopter.

Rotarians presented a cheque to SouthCare volunteers last week, handing over more than $3000 to the medical service.

The money was raised through the annual Rotary Duck Race with $3381 being accepted by SouthCare volunteers Tony and Barbara Airs.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the second year running Rotary has donated proceeds from the muchloved Duck Race to

SouthCare. Rotary clubs across the 9710 district have been challenged to hold these popular races in a bid to increase funds for SouthCare.

Cooma members were on hand for the cheque presentation at the Snowy Hydro Discovery Centre last week, with Rotarian and Duck Race organiser Elaine Schofield, thanking the community for their efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Duck Race is well supported by lots of people. We had stores at Woolworths, Aldi, and the Rotary Markets to help sell ducks for the race,â&#x20AC;? Ms Schofield said.

Cemetery maintenance work Snowy Regional Council is seeking expressions of interest for maintenance and grave digging at Council cemeteries including Gegedzerick Cemetery, Old Adaminaby Cemetery, Adaminaby Cemetery, Jindabyne Cemetery, Round Plain Cemetery, Moonbah Cemetery and Boloco Cemetery.

The successful applicant must be able to provide their own equipment, such as a ride on mower, whipper snipper, gardening equipment and appropriate machinery for digging of burial plots.

Isetta was runner-up Local car enthusiast Tony Nassar has taken out second the runner up prize in the BMW 100 year category at the Motorclassica motor show in Melbourne.

Tony took his BMW Isetta, which he has affectionately nicknamed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Bubbleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to Melbourne with his son and fellow car enthusiast, Jozeph.

The car came second in a division with over 30 entries and Tony said that while he was pleased to see the ribbon on the windscreen he was stoked to just be involved.

He said the car caught the eye of celebrities such as the son of legendary race car driver Steve McQueen and the original Karate Kid, Chad McQueen.

Another highlight for the local businessman was the inclusion of his

prize car on The Today Show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Today Show was better than any trophy or acknowledgement,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone was talking about it (the Isetta). The first thing people did when the gates open was come up to it and say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;that was the car on The Today Show.â&#x20AC;?

Tony secured a signed poster from Chad McQueen which he generously donated to the Cooma Car Club at their grand opening over the weekend.

Tony, who has been called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the everywhere manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has a lot in store for the community in coming months including his involvement with the busking festival, the highly anticipated return of the billy karts and some other events which will get the town talking.

where the contest for land turned nasty! Two of these are in the region of Bibbenluke and involved battles for land between Henry Edwards and John Murphy.

The third site is the eastern bank of the McLaughlin River at the Allen Caldwell Bridge on the Snowy River Way, where Caroline Whalan (Whalen) was one of the first selectors to take up land on the Bibbenluke Estate.

The last site to be visited will be at Ando, now owned by John Rumph, but in the 1860s it was the place where Jigger Bulgary and his family selected land to make their home.

The launch itself will be held on November 12 at the Bibbenluke Hall from 10.30am, with morning tea provided.

As for the excursion, a hand-out with the itinerary will be provided at the launch, and people are invited to follow in their cars.

“Many have looked at the Robertson Land Acts and whether or not they were a success in other regions; this was my go at looking at that question from a Bibbenluke point of view,” says author, Dr Barbara Dawson.

Barbara speaks of her new book, ‘The Bibbenluke Estate and The Robertson Land Acts, 1861– 1884: ‘One of the finest properties in New South Wales (if not the best)’, which will be launched in Bibbenluke on November 12.

The book focuses on the huge Bibbenluke Estate of the 1860s and 1870s, and the battle over land that transpired after John Robertson introduced his land reform legislation into the NSW parliament in 1861.

“It is a story of struggle and success. All the participants struggled for the land they wanted - or wanted to keep.

But who succeeded?” Barbara asks.

She has followed the gains and the losses, the intrigues and the disappointments of the people of the Bombala area who strove to own their own plots of land in the nineteenth century.

“And of course personalities also come into histories,” she says.

Bombala Public School’s Year 6 Melbourne excursion The Bombala Primary School sent their Year 6 children, along with Delegate, Goongerah & St. Joseph’s Primary to the annual Melbourne excursion two weeks ago. The happy band of 33 children and five adults departed on Monday October 24, bound for Urban Camp, Royal Park, Melbourne.

It was a busy time, tiring, educational and filled with fun and good times. The children were responsible, considerate, courteous, very sociable, and attentive to all the guides. Total strangers stopped in the street or on public transport to

comment on the students’ good manners and sensible behaviour.

They visited the zoo, Old Melbourne Gaol, the MCG, Sovereign Hill, museum, aquarium, Victorian Gallery, had a river cruise, jumped at Bounce, swam at the Aquatic Centre and went ten-pin bowling – what a week.

The children were accompanied by Mrs Fiona Crawford, Mrs Anne Roberts, Mr Scott Challman Mrs Marsha Sten and Di Walder. All returning on Friday October 28 – tired and happy to be home.

Epic Jindabyne trail stewardship $46m technology boost for Monaro students

The Jindabyne Trail Stewardship has partnered with Perisher and the Snowy Monaro Regional Council to organise a maintenance day to care for the trails around town.

They approached Perisher for help and the project was considered to be a good candidate for the Epic Promise Day initiative, which is designed to support youth and environmental initiatives in the local areas that Vale Resorts operates in.

Council representative Alannah Dickerson said the partnership between council and the Stewardship has allowed for increased progress on the development of the trails.

“Council have to know facilities will be maintained. Without the community looking after it our progress on the shared trails would be much slower,” she said.

Over 100 volunteers have contributed to the upkeep of trails but the Epic Promise Day has been the biggest project to date.

135 workers from Perisher took part in the project with 10 representatives from the Stewardship and Council acting as team leaders to provide their expertise.

Perisher staff collectively worked 570 hours on two trail building and maintenance projects in Jindabyne and Mill

Creek, near Tyrolean Village, to further build out the network of bike and walking trails.

The team worked to build new and maintain existing shared trails, remove and recycle 13 tonne of concrete to build a staircase at the soccer oval off Park Street, and remove a significant amount of general and green waste from the area.

They improved visibility of the paths and improved drainages for water control to avoid erosion.

Perisher was also responsible for providing tools and heavy machinery which saved countless hours of volunteer work.

“Epic promise is Vale Resorts’ way of giving back to the community where it operates.

“It’s fortunate to get to gether with permeament staff working on a prject to give back to the community. It’s a great way to give back.

“From Perisher’s perspective, we fill privileged to operate in the community and it’s good to give back to the community in some way,” Perisher’s chief operating officer Peter Brulisauer said.

The Stewardship is a volunteer, not for profit organisation and has been working since September 2014 to maintain the trails that are purpose built for bushwalking and bike

riding.

The trails are exceptionally well utilised, particularly in the summer months where council reports numbers well in to the thousands.

As a result, regular maintenance is a necessity and the Stewardship meets often to provide upkeep to the trails.

Local stakeholders are currently becoming more involved with sponsorship for the trails in a bid to promote tourism to the region.

“We collaborate on issues to make the product better and build summer tourism,” Ms Dickerson said.

Trails are also sign posted with numbered bollards spaced out periodically.

These allow the community to easily identify an area with an issue and report it to council or the Stewardship.

Emergency services are also aware of the numbers so if a person encounters a problem they will be easy to find.

Janelle Herlihy from the Stewardship said the project was an excellent example of what a community can achieve.

“This shows the power of volunteers and what they can achieve. What an amazing partnership

We’re 100% locally owned.

with Council and Perisher for the benefit of the community, especially in this day and age of limited resources,” she said.

The Stewardship meets regularly during the warmer months to maintain trails and welcome new volunteers.

People can get involved by accessing the Jindabyne Trail Stewardship website or Facebook page.

The Member for Monaro John Barilaro has welcomed a $46 million NSW Liberals & Nationals Government program to boost student learning through better technology in regional and remote public schools.

“Fourteen schools in the Monaro electorate will share in the Connecting Country Schools program which will upgrade schools’ Wi-Fi access and internet capacity,” Mr Barilaro said.

“Digital technology is vital to student learning in a modern education system. This upgrade will allow for wireless speeds four times faster than currently available.

“High-quality internet capacity is increasingly important for effective learning in today’s classrooms, where digital resources are a vital component of education.

“To ensure schools make best use of their upgraded wireless and internet capability, they will be required to make an application and consult with their school community to identify how they intend to use the technology to improve teaching and learning.”

Schools classified as rural and regional are eligible for the upgrade include:

• • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Adaminaby Public School Berridale Public School Bombala High School Bombala Public School Braidwood Central School Bredbo Public School Cooma North Public School Cooma Public School Dalgety Public School Delegate Public School Jerangle Public School Jindabyne Central School Monaro High School Nimmitabel Public School

The Connecting Country Schools program will invest up to $46 million to boost wireless access and internet capacity in up to 13,000 learning spaces in around 900 regional schools.

Connecting Country Schools builds on the achievements made since 2013 under the NSW Government’s $80 million Rural and Remote Education Blueprint.

The Blueprint used the benefits of technology to establish Aurora College, Australia’s first virtual selective high school giving country students access to specialist subjects and opportunities not available at their local school.

Held at the Cooma Ex-Services Club last Wednesday evening, the annual dinner brings together members of the local Rotary Club, Lions Club, Leo Club and the Cooma Day and Evening VIEW Clubs. More than 100 guests came along to the dinner, in celebration of the great community spirit that is the basis of all the combined services.

This year’s guest speaker was Mrs Susan Walter AM, founder of the Steven Walter Children’s Cancer Foundation. Her mother Mrs Joy Lander also accompanied her to the dinner.

Mrs Walter was in town for their annual charity event, The Snowy Ride, which saw thousands of motorcycles travel through the region over the weekend. The charity ride has raised more than $6 million for research into

Proceeds of the Combined Services dinner went towards the Steven Walter Children’s Cancer Foundation and the Rotary Interact Club, who work with young adults in the community.

Snowy Monaro Regional Council Administrator Dean Lynch also spoke at the dinner. Mr Lynch said he has often been approached with concerns as to how the local community groups will operate within the now amalgamated council area. Mr Lynch suggested an annual conference to be held with all the associations of the region coming together.

The meal was followed with the traditional announcements from each club, a fines session and the draw of the raffle.

The next CWA general meeting will be at the Cooma Car Club, Bolaro Street Cooma on November 14 at 1pm. OR come a little earlier at 12pm, bring some lunch and enjoy friendship before the meeting. All welcome.

The celebration service for the life of Angel John Gallard (Gura-dyarralang) on Saturday November 5, marked the passing of a legend.

Held at Jindabyne’s St Andrew’s Anglican Church, the church overflowed when near on 100 people gathered to pay their respects and to hear the tributes paid to him by his brother, the Rev Dr Alan Gallard Russell, who conducted the service and by Angel John’s children Miriam, Evan, Brian, stepson Ashley and grandson Aaron.

The child of a second marriage, Angel John was born on March 5, 1934 at Castle Hill, Sydney. He was only aged eight years old when his mother died. With four small boys under the age of eight, his youngest brother Alan was adopted but became reunited with his siblings later in his childhood. It was during this period that Angel John became aware of his indigenous heritage as one of the “sovereign people ” John was a keen bicycle rider and rode to Westmead Technical College during his apprenticeship as a fitter and turner with the Commonwealth Aircraft Company. From there he joined the NSW police force and moved to the Blue Mountains with his first wife.

A life long friend of Paddy Pallin, John acquired a love of the bush and became a volunteer ranger at Blue Mountains State Park Trust.

In 1967 he joined the staff of the National Parks & Wildlife Service and transferred to Kosciuszko Park in 1972 where he identified many aboriginal sites and artefacts. An interest in prospecting for gold, led him to gain a Diploma in Geology with the British Institute of Engineering.

As a keen cross-country skier he obtained his instructors qualifications and taught local police, SES members and rangers of Kosciuszko National Park not just how to ski but how to survive winter in the Snowy Mountains. The bushfires of early 1973 tested his skills in fire fighting.

After moving back to the Blue Mountains, John took an early

An avid reader maintaining a

huge library, retirement provided an opportunity for John to indulge his many interests including cross country skiing, fishing, painting and making jewellery.

John Gallard’s passion for his indigenous ancestry culminated at the age of 81, with his initiation and being made an aboriginal lore man.

His totems were the eagle and the red bellied black snake. It was fitting with Lake Jindabyne as the backdrop that a smoking ceremony be held following the Christian thanksgiving service for his life.

Described as a man full of love, Miriam delivering the eulogy, said her father was “an incurable romantic”, after two marriages and finally finding his partner Nancy whom he called his “Brolga”. They shared a love of the mountains, bushwalking and cross country skiing with an avid interest in the environment and native wildlife.

Surviving “9” lives, Angel John died after a long last battle with multiple myeloma.

A private cremation was held at Norwood Park Crematorium on Monday, November 7 followed by a memorial service at Haberfield in Sydney next Saturday. The Monaro Post wishes to express its deepest condolences to Nancy GantThompson and John’s extended family.

SPRING RAIN = LONG, FAST GROWNING GRASS AND WEEDS

Is your property a potential fire hazard?

Every year Council receives a large number of calls in relation to properties which are considered hazardous due to long and overgrown vegetation.

After the spring rains, warm dry weather will cause grass and weeds to dry and cause a fire hazard.

Residents and owners are requested to maintain blocks and properties so that vegetation is kept at an acceptable level.

WARM WEATHER = TIME TO CHECK YOUR SWIMMING POOL BARRIERS

With the onset of warmer weather it’s a good time to check pool safety; • Always keep your fence, gates, doors and window locks secure and in good condition. Regularly check them.

• Always keep your gate and door latches and self-closing mechanisms in good working order.

• Always close your gates and doors when not in actual use.

• Never prop gates open.

• Never leave climbable objects near the fence.

• Always keep trees, shrubs and creepers trimmed well away from the fence.

• Always leave your filter covered so small children cannot get into it and keep chemicals out of view and reach.

• Always supervise children around the pool at all times. A fence is no substitute for responsible supervision.

• Teach your children to swim from an early age.

• Undertake resuscitation (CPR) training for emergency situations.

All private pools/spa pools need to be registered with the NSW Governments new pool registration site – www.swimmingpoolregister.nsw.gov.au

Vale: Frank Castellan Frank Castellan was born in Castelfranco, Veneto, Italy on July 9, 1937.

Frank came to Cooma in 1957 where both his brothers, Peter and Sergio were already working.

Both Peter and Sergio predeceased Frank.

Frank met his wife to be, Margaret, in Cooma while she was working for the SMHEA and he was working on the Snowy Mountain Scheme for Thiess Bros.

Frank was the foreman of the Thiess crusher plant and worked in Australia and all over Asia for Thiess Bros until his retirement approximately 10 years ago.

Frank and Margaret were married in Khancoban in 1966 and celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary recently on the Gold Coast where they have lived for several years after moving from Sydney when Frank retired.

Frank played soccer for the Thiess Bros team and had his leg badly broken in the early 60s in a match against the Cooma team.

Shortly after Frank’s broken leg had healed he had a serious car accident on the way to the Murrumbidgee Pumping Station, where the young people used to meet for a swim on a hot day and he was incapacitated for a long time.

Frank and Margaret moved to Cronulla in Sydney where Frank continued to work for Thiess Bros and where he became an avid Sharks supporter and never missed a game from ‘the hill’. Frank was lucky enough to watch the Sharks win their first grand final this year from his Gold Coast home as sadly he was too sick to attend the game.

Frank passed away peacefully on Wednesday October 26 and is survived by his wife of 50 years, Margaret, their three children Shane, Francesca and Tara, the children’s partners and his grandchildren.

Frank will be sadly missed by his family, his rugby league mates and many Snowy mates.

Operation Christmas Child Berridale and the Snowy Mountains Anglican Community have for several years participated in the creation of Christmas Boxes, for under privileged children around the world.

The shoe box is covered with colourful paper, then filled with love; contained in something for school, (pens, pencils, note paper), for personal health, (soap, wash cloth, tooth brush, comb, hair ties), clothing, (an item or two; shorts, shirt, undies, shoes, thongs, dresses), something to love, (a soft toy), something to play with, (marbles, yoyo, skipping rope, balls), something special. (a carry bag, sunglasses, hair ribbons). Our giving has been increasing every year, 2015 allowed us to deliver to the collection centre in Canberra

180 plus boxes, all generously filled and collated by willing volunteers.

Deepa Obed is our regional manager, she was born in Indian, (and is currently a naturalised Australian, and very proud of that.) Deepa first learned of this charity through her children’s school. Her children were encouraged to partake by giving and building up the gifts to be given to under privileged children around the world.

Deepa then went to Fiji and had taken part in the distribution of boxes to children there. Her witnessing of these boxes being opened had a massive impact on her.

The love that transcended to these under-privileged children was the beginning of great things.

A boy took his box home to share with his very ill grandfather, a witch-doctor, the child convinced his family to go some distance to a priest and to ask for prayer and healing.

The priest came and the witchdoctor was made well instantly.

Just three years ago, the boy’s grandfather gave the land for his grandson to build the very first Christian church in his area, a great result after opening a shoe box of love, the key to many splendid things. Today all religions seem willing to assist the poor in their country.

Cambodia was another experience for Deepa; (she learned through a friend) understanding the ramifications of a gift given with love to a child. Within Cambodia, there were, and still are many places filled with landmines, one area

BRING BACK THAT NEW CAR FEELING!

which had 300 landmines cleared, had many children who had nothing. Samaritans Purse was able to give a box of love from the Christmas Child Appeal, to numerous children in this area.

This gift proved to be the key to open the door of trust for Samaritans Purse, they were then able to come and help build, schools (750 students today.) They built new water systems, birthing centres and continue to assist in any way they can, allowing so many to be educated, and to better their lives.

Each box costs $9 to send.

Organiser are trying to raise the necessary funds, to ensure these boxes get to the children most in need.

C A L L Postman S Well, that was one big weekend just past, wasn’t it?

As if 3000 motorcyclists weren’t enough entertainment, Cooma also had 161 buskers and more than 100 horse riders to add to the mix.

This year’s Snowy Ride saw many, many repeat riders in town - after 16 years the event has become well established on the bikers’ calendar. And they all ride for such a brilliant cause.

Cooma Showground was a hive of activity too, with horses and ponies of all shapes and sizes popping over the jumps It was great to see the pipes and drums involved in the busking championships, although it was a brave piper who donned a kilt on Saturday, given the windy weather.

The wind was so strong on one occasion at the Cenotaph that the onlookers were able to see first-hand what is worn under the kilt – in this case a pair of sensible undies!

This might be unheard of in the Scottish Highlands, but it was very practical in Cooma, given the occasion (and the wind gusts)!

As the old song goes: “Let the wind blow high, the wind blow low, ‘round the streets in my kilt I’ll go and all the lassies say “hello, Donald where’s your trousers”!

Full marks to the organisers and helpers involved with these huge events.

Just when you thought things were slowing down, this weekend promises to be full of ‘stuff’ to do too – including the machinery expo at Bombala, the MCCR garden party, a big weekend at Cooma Bocce Club, two car rallies, golf, bowls, art exhibitions…the list goes on!

And for those interested in stats, there are now only 47 days until Christmas!

The ATO has seen a huge decrease in the number of reported phone scams in the last month.

Assistant Commissioner Graham Whyte said reports of scams have dropped significantly during October.

‘In early October the scam line was receiving over 750 reports a day. In recent weeks numbers have dropped to as low as 30.’

‘This decrease comes in the wake of multiple call centres in India being raided on suspicion of conducting tax scam calls. These call centres were targeting taxpayers in a range of countries, including Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom.’

Mr Whyte said regardless of the reduction, taxpayers should remain vigilant, as recent trends have indicated an increase in fraudulent emails.

‘We know most people are pretty good at catching fraudsters in the act. This is clear from the amount of scams reported to us compared to the number of people handing over money and personal information.

‘But some scam emails can look very convincing. Some even have privacy warnings and other text to make them look more real,’ Mr Whyte said.

‘Fraudulent ATO emails often announce you have an unexpected tax refund available or a debt to be paid. They may contain malware

and request personal identifying information from you.

‘If you click on links or open attachments in these emails, it may install software that gives scammers access to your computer and potentially your personal information,’ Mr Whyte said.

‘The ATO uses a range of complex tools and systems to keep taxpayers’ information safe, but it’s important to note the vital role you play in curbing identity crime by protecting your personal information and knowing a scam when you see one.’

‘We will never send you an unsolicited email requesting you to fill in an attachment with your personal identifying information such as your TFN. Scammers do this in an effort to steal your identity and use it to commit other crimes such as tax refund fraud,’ Mr Whyte said.

If in doubt you should: • go directly to the myGov homepage, sign in to check your inbox for messages • contact your registered tax agent • phone the ATO on 1800 008 540.

For more information, go to ato. gov.au/scams.

To report a scam email, forward the entire email to ReportEmailFraud@ ato.gov.au.

Reader says thank you A big thank you must go the Toby Vue journalist at the Yass Tribune who picked up the Letter to the Editor in September 2016, we live in hope on the Monaro and decided he wanted to write an article for Town and County, which they circulate, weekly over 15 Regional South newspapers.

The Monaro Post does not receive the Town and Country insert because the Monaro Post is an Independent Newspaper and not part of Fairfax Ltd. But Toby assures me our situation will go further than just the 15 regional South Newspapers. Canberra, Queanbeyan, Sydney and Melbourne I hope for those that come into our SMRC areas summer and winter to enjoy our Monaro, but do not appreciate the hazardous conditions that can occur here, especially when emergency broadcasting are needed to be heard.

Toby’s Town and County article is on the following web site if you wish to read it. He has done a very good job for us. http://www.townandcountrymagazine. com.au/story/4257209/residents-call-forupgrades-to-abc-am-radio-stations-in-edenmonaro/?cs=1289 Again thank you all and keep your fingers crossed.

The Earth’s atmosphere is mostly made up of which molecule?

RIPOSTE Lisa Ashurst Isn’t it wonderful to have tech-savvy kids? They can save you a fortune, not to mention hours on the phone, on hold, trying to get answers to what turns out to be a very simple thing with an equally simple solution.

Fortunately, with my kids, tech-savvy is second nature which is why I call them if I have any issues with things like mobile phone, functions on the TV remote, computer or printer.

Like, I was amazed at how simple it was to switch off automatic updates!

Apple was busy chewing up my Internet credit until the kids sorted that one for me!

Stands to reason then that I would call Daughter when my nice multifunction printer, bought new with my computer less than a year ago, was all of a sudden missing the ball when I clicked on the print command.

It was making all the right noises and everything, so computer and printer were obviously talking, but nothing was printing and while I don’t need to print too often, I still need to sometimes so yes, it was a problem that needed sorting, and despite going through all the paperwork and quadruple checking every possible thing that could be wrong I was no closer to a printed page than I was to the Moon!

Enter Daughter and Son-in-law and in about three minutes, Son-in-law had found the problem and sorted it! No kidding!

It was the “paper calibration” thingy.

Being a nice fancy printer, it has a little screen that shows all kinds of options that relate to what you want to do (scan,

print text, copy, print photos etc, etc) and somehow the paper calibration had been changed from A4 to a paper size with which my printer doesn’t operate and like I said, it took Son-in-law three minutes max to find it and sort it. Problem solved.

Just like that! Unbelievable!

And this is what I mean about having tech-savvy offspring?

They are invaluable when it comes to these things and they can safely be relied upon (at least I think they can…) not to plaster how ridiculously non-techie I can sometimes be all over Facebook and/or some other social media page.

They are also a very cheap consult as all they cost is a cuppa or two with some home-baked treats.

For this latest job it was nice warm scones, fresh from the oven, with jam and cream. Fortifying fare for a threeminute job on a printer issue.

Thing is, I have no idea how I didn’t spot the issue myself! Despite how it looks, I’m not completely in the dark with technology!

Admittedly, there are things my phone can do that I am not up on yet but that’s only because I have had no reason, to date, to use those functions so why would I need to know what they are?

Ditto the TV remote.

So long as I can navigate the most commonly used functions I’m happy as the day is long.

Admittedly, the time may come when I may possibly want to expand my knowledge with these gadgets but this is nothing for me to get all apprehensive about.

Editor, Thank you to the following that have been supportive in working to have our ABC 1602 AM 50 watts (1 light bulb) Cooma radio transmitter replaced, with a 21st century new 4,000watts – 5,000 watts transmitter that we can hear past 5 km from Cooma in our homes and 25 km in our car.

New program to push road safety to regional apprentices Apprentices studying at Cooma and Queanbeyan TAFE NSW campuses will now be taught lifesaving road safety skills as part of a new program designed to save young lives on NSW roads, the Member for Monaro and Minister for Skills John Barilaro said.

Towards Zero: TAFE Road Safety Partnership is a collaborative initiative between Transport for NSW, Roads and Maritime Services and TAFE NSW and will see students at TAFE NSW campuses throughout regional NSW learn vital road safety lessons from early next year.

“Young drivers continue to be over-represented in serious crashes in NSW, especially in regional areas.

In the last five years (2011-2015), 193 young drivers were killed on

NSW roads, with 85 per cent of the fatalities occurring in country areas,” Mr Barilaro said.

“This program has been specifically developed for young drivers, to give students an overview of some of the main issues affecting road safety on regional roads.

“The workshop will cover five key issues including speed, driver fatigue, animals on rural roads, driver distraction – particularly the use of mobile phones, an alcohol and drugs.

“Hundreds of TAFE Western apprentices at Dubbo and Orange have already benefited from the pilot program – it is great to see the program being extended to our local area.”

During its November Board meeting, the Reserve Bank of Australia announced it would leave the cash rate on hold at 1.5%.

Today’s decision marks the third consecutive month that the Reserve Bank has left the cash rate untouched.

Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said a spate of positive economic data ultimately prompted the Reserve Bank’s decision.

“There has been a lot of strong economic data coming out of the domestic market in recent weeks. Consumer sentiment is on the rise, business confidence remains robust, property prices continue to climb slightly higher, and the latest inflation result was better than expected,” he said.

“According to data from the Westpac Melbourne Institute of Consumer Sentiment, confidence rose 1.1% throughout October – meaning optimists once again outnumbered pessimists.

“In addition to that, the latest data from National Australia Bank showed business confidence remains reasonably upbeat despite the recent moderation in business conditions. At the same time, property prices rose 0.5% across the combined capital cities.

“And finally, inflation rebounded over the September quarter, rising 0.7%. Pleasingly, this result was higher than the 0.5% economists had been expecting.

“Knowing all of this, it is little wonder why the Reserve Bank chose to leave the cash rate on hold once again.”

Moving forward, Mr Flavell said he wouldn’t be surprised to see the cash rate remain on hold at

1.5% for some time yet.

“If the domestic economic data remains strong, there would be no immediate reason for the Reserve Bank to change their current stance on monetary policy,” he said.

But while the Board is likely to leave the official cash rate on hold for some time yet, Mr Flavell said future rate cuts cannot be ruled out.

“You never know what the future will bring. If we do see a downturn in the domestic economy, I think

we could expect the Reserve Bank to cut the cash rate again.

“Regardless of what happens with interest rates over the short to medium term, the fact remains that home loan rates are currently sitting at record lows.

“So, if you have been thinking about buying, now could be the perfect time to do so.

“I would encourage anyone thinking of buying or reviewing their mortgage to speak to a professional mortgage broker to ensure they receive the right home loan for their needs.”

An architectural icon set to break records Borrowers continue to shun fixed rate home loans Fixed rate demand continues to wane, with the vast majority of borrowers opting for variable rate home loans.

According to the latest national home loan approval data from Mortgage Choice, fixed rate home loans accounted for 17.40% of all loans written in October. While this was slightly higher than the 16.72% recorded the month prior, it is significantly lower than the 12 month average of 20.83%.

Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said the data would suggest that fixed rate home loans have fallen out of favour with borrowers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the Reserve Bank of Australia clearly indicating that rate hikes are a long way off, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not surprised to see more people opting for variable rate mortgages,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Borrowers are savvy, they understand that interest rates are more likely to fall than rise over the short to medium term. As such, they feel comfortable opting for a variable

over a fixed rate mortgage.

Across the country, fixed rate demand was lowest in Victoria, with this type of product accounting for just 5.88% of all loans written throughout the month of October. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we look at the historical data we can see that the level of fixed rate demand in Victoria is the lowest it has ever been,â&#x20AC;? Mr Flavell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Meanwhile, Queensland is currently enjoying quite strong fixed rate demand by historical standards.

As per the data, fixed rate mortgages accounted for 23.80% of all loans written within the state last month â&#x20AC;&#x201C; slightly higher than the 19.89% recorded the month prior.â&#x20AC;?

Demand for fixed rate products was also strong in New South Wales, with this type of home loan accounting for 19.62% of all loans written.

Of all of the loan products on offer across the country, ongoing discount products proved the most popular with borrowers, with this type of home loan accounting for 45.66% of all loans written.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of Coomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most iconic houses. Boasting a design well beyond its years, this home on Montague Street is a real design and architectural statement.

Fachin House was built in the 1960s by Elido and Gloria Fachin. The couple became wellknown throughout the region for their community service, and for their building and business achievements. Elido, a brilliant man, designed and built the impressive home.

Following the passing of Gloria earlier this year, the immaculate home will soon be on the market through Steve Allen Property. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected to settle as Coomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest selling property and on inspection itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to see why.

Properties of this magnitude donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come along too often.

Steve says the new owner of the house will inherit an architectural masterpiece. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good design stand the test of time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immaculate, the quality of the workmanship is outstanding,â&#x20AC;? Steve said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big house but everything in it is appropriate and in proportion.â&#x20AC;?

A walk through the house provides a sense of wonder, and amazement.

Each room has been designed specifically for its use. The living area is the perfect

place for the family to sit back and relax.

One of the most notable features of the house is its architraves. Elidoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well thought out approach to designing the house is evident from the spacious rooms, to the furniture and even in the architraves.

Nothing in the house is without purpose. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The house is modernist. Elido thought through every detail. He also hand crafted all the furniture,â&#x20AC;?

Steve said.

The kitchen is as practical as it is large. The benches and cupboards were built to last, looking as if they were only put in yesterday. The house stretches beyond the formal living areas to the bedrooms. The master bedroom with ensuite, contains a walk in wardrobe possible to get lost in.

Adjacent to the house is a

studio, purpose-built for Elidoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sketches and many projects.

Steve believes it could easily be converted into another living space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The studio is equivalent to a four bedroom house. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty of space to work with.â&#x20AC;?

Heading outside, a private courtyard is tucked away at the side of the house. Allowing for sunlight throughout the day, the outdoor hideaway is surrounded by a garden bed.

The sprawling gardens create a tranquil, bush setting. With ample places to nestle away amidst the bush retreat, Fachin House offers views across the tree tops.

For 50 years the grandeur and prestige of Fachin House has made it the envy of home owners across the Monaro. When the property is settled, Cooma is set to have a new benchmark in housing prices.

Health to “Swell” across region Colour Me Grubby South East Arts, which covers the wide region serviced by the Snowy Monaro, Bega Valley and Eurobodalla Shires, has announced its new “Swell” initiative to link art with health across the south east.

The strategy was revealed to a group of potential project partners and supporters in Bega on October 24.

South East Arts now plans to hold the first Arts and Health Regional Seminar in Cooma in early 2017, with details to be shared as soon as possible.

Until then, the following gives a background on the initiative What is Arts and Health?

Arts and Health is the practice of using the arts to improve health and wellbeing, as well as enhancing health care experiences for patients and their support networks.

The arts can play a significant role in promoting the health and wellbeing of patients, staff, clients and visitors to health services and within the broader community.

South East Arts has developed a regional strategy to guide work in this important new area. The vision is to build stronger, healthier and happier communities, supported by strong networks, resources and opportunities for

participation and learning.

“There’s a real link between the artistic and cultural environment and peoples’ health,” says Jenny Symons, Chair of the Southern NSW Local Health District.

Arts and Health Regional Strategy South East Arts’ region covers the three Local Government Areas of Bega Valley, Eurobodalla and Snowy Monaro located within the Southern NSW Local Health District.

In response to the 2016 release of the NSW Government’s Health and The Arts Framework, South East Arts has developed a regional strategy to: • Support the development of arts and health approaches and initiatives in health care settings across the region; • Facilitate connections and alliances between the arts and cultural community and health services; • Build the capacity of arts and health practitioners to make meaningful contributions to both artistic practice and health and wellbeing goals.

South East Arts will work with the Health Service Managers of the region on a range of policy and operational supports in the areas of: • Governance — support and participate in the regional

governance framework for arts and health; • Promotion and Advocacy — raise the profile of arts and health across the region; • Resources and information exchange — build the knowledge, resource and social capital of the arts and health community across the region; • Training and capacity building — develop the practice and partnership capacity of the creative sector and health professional working in the field of arts and health; • Partnerships and funding — build the funding base and resource development opportunities for arts and health approaches in the region.

South East Arts has identified regional projects that will align with a range of state and locally determined health priorities, focus on the social determinants of health and target specific priority populations. These are: • The cultural integrity, health and wellbeing of Aboriginal communities; • Mental health, wellbeing and resilience amongst young people; • Creative ageing for older people.

Children’s obstacle course On Sunday November 13 between 11am and 2pm Cooma North Preschool will be running their inaugural “Colour Me Grubby” obstacle course for children aged between 3 and 6 years old. It is based on the very popular courses such as “The Colour Run” and “Miss Muddy” which encourage physical movement in a fun and engaging way.

This event is the brainchild of the Cooma North Preschool staff through their involvement with the NSW Department of Health Program “Munch and Move” which supports regular physical activity and the importance of the development of fundamental movement skills for young children.

This event is open to all children in

the community aged between 3 and 6 years old. Groups of children will participate in the course in staggered time slots between 11am and 2pm.

Registration is $20 for early bird pre registration and $25 for those children that register on the day at the event.

Registration includes the Colour Me Grubby event, a t-shirt, sausage sizzle, wrist band and certificate of participation. Please contact Cooma North Preschool on 64521198 or email coomanthpreschool@bigpond. com for a registration form to be sent to you.

We would love to see as many children as possible join us for a day of fun, mud, water, colour, challenges and obstacles.

Reflections by the MacLaughlin – an exhibition The Reflections by the MacLaughlin exhibiton opens at the Lord Raglan Gallery in Cooma at 3pm. on November 12.

It showcases the creativity of the members and friends of the Holy Transfiguration Russian Orthodox Monastery by the MacLaughlin.

The works have been created by over 12 artists who use clay, wood or paint as a medium to express their love of the Earth.

Thirty five years ago a skete, or monastic community, was established by the MacLaughlin River, near Bombala. This became The Holy Transfiguration Monastery, a community of men who have come together to share a love of God and His natural world.

Originally, the skete, and later Monastery, were under the guidance of Arkimandrite Alexis and, when he retired, Hieromonk Sergius, known as Father Sergei, became the Abbot.

As the foundation of the community was the love of God and the love of the natural world, it is pleasing that these characteristics are evident in the lives of the fathers and brothers who share this unique way of living and it is a priceless treasure that this is also the way the members react with the

wider community. This community is a sharing one. There is love. There is caring. There is warmth. There is passion.

The community is a creative one.

Within the community there are potters, painters, iconographers, woodworkers, gardeners, farmers, apiarists and candle makers. This exhibition focuses on woodfired ceramics. The Monastery has two woodfire kilns, a boerry box and an anagama kiln. Father Sergei has a passion to encourage other potters and artists in their journey to produce the works of which they are capable and to accommodate the individual creativity in this wider community.

There are also painted works of art by Arkimandrite Alexis and Min. Father Alexis is a world renowned iconographer, having worked internationally on behalf of Russian Orthodox communities. There will be examples of the wood working skills of Father Makarkis. This exhibition has works that will speak to anyone with a passion for humanity and our world.

The Monaro community are invited to attend the opening on Saturday November 12, or the exhibition at any time that the Raglan Gallery is open, between November 12 and 27.

Increased snake, spider activity prompts advice

Pampered!

Pictured, members of the Bombala and District’s Carer’s Support Group after their recent pampering morning.

The month of October is very important for Carers as Carers Week is celebrated.

The Bombala & District Carer’s Support Group were treated to a pamper day.

The morning started with coffee at Linga Longa then a stroll up to Hair On Main where Nicky and Kim treated the ladies to a shampoo, massage and trim.

E v e r y o n e thoroughly enjoyed the morning and felt so relaxed and pampered.

The group would like to thank Hair On Main for taking the time and effort to pamper them.

Lunch is always on the agenda and the group were treated this at the Bombala RSL. The group would like to thank Carer’s NSW for the grant they received to enable this morning to take place.

The next get together is November 9 so if you’re a Carer in the local community and would like to join us please phone the Bombala Community Services on 6458 4620.

The Bombala & District Carer’s Support Group is supported by financial assistance from the Australian & NSW Governments.

The recent, warmer weather has coincided with increased snake and spider activity, prompting safety and first aid advice from NSW Ambulance paramedics.

In October, paramedics attended 28 calls for snake bites alone across NSW; an increase on September’s total of 14, and higher than the 19 recorded for the same October period last year.

NSW Ambulance Inspector John Brotherhood said snakes in particular are on the move, looking for food and a mate after their winter hibernation.

Inspector Brotherhood said in the 12 months to August 31 this year, paramedics a t t e n d e d 727 incidents involving snakes and spiders, a reduction on last year’s total of 813 incidents.

The 2015-16 total includes 45 patients with suspected funnel web bites (compared with 65 for 201415), 215 (248) with suspected snake bites and a balance of 466 with spider bites in general. (Please note these were suspected cases reported to the Triple Zero (000) call taker.)

In regional breakdowns, the Hunter attracted the most number of calls with 100 (87), followed by Western Sydney with 96 (137), and South West Sydney 74 (82).

(Regional breakdowns below).

Recent cases include: • 50-year-old male bitten on the leg by a snake in the Cunnawarra National Park at Ebor on Saturday; • 44-year-old female bitten by a suspected funnel web spider on the

forearm at Heathcote on October 27; • 85-year-old female bitten on the finger by a brown snake at Bland on October 25; • Seven-year-old boy bitten on the calf by a tiger snake at Bungendore on October 16; • 72-year-old male bitten by a brown snake on the leg at Cartwright on October 10; • 14-year-old male bitten on the foot by a brown snake at Greta on October 9; and • 32-year-old female bitten on the calf by a snake at Tarcutta on October 8.

Inspector Brotherhood, who is based in Sydney’s South West, said paramedics

are urging caution. “Around the home, remove piled up debris from the yard and keep lawns mowed to reduce the potential for unexpected visitors,” Inspector Brotherhood said.

“Check items of clothing that have been left outside before wearing them.

Paramedics attend many cases where people have put on boots and gloves and been bitten by spiders and even snakes which were hidden inside. Also, if you lift something such as a rock or log, lift it with it facing away from you.”

Inspector Brotherhood advised that in the event of a snake or spider bite, people

should call Triple Zero (000) and ask for an ambulance. He added first aid for snake and spider bites varied depending on the species and included: For snakes and funnel web spiders: • if the bite is on a limb, apply a pressure immobilisation bandage. The bandage should not cut off the circulation; • if the bite is not on a limb, apply direct, firm pressure to the bite site with your hands. Keep the patient still and discourage them from walking around; and • never cut or excise the wound. Do not attempt to suck out the venom and don’t apply a tourniquet.

For spiders (eg redbacks, white-tails, trapdoors): • apply an ice pack or cold compress to relieve the pain; and • if severe symptoms develop, seek medical aid; and • in the case of small children involved in a suspected redback spider bite, medical aid should be sought, irrespective of whether symptoms manifest.

To have a snake safely removed from a property call your local wildlife care organisation, a licensed pest control operator or your local NPWS Office. Alternatively, if you need assistance or advice on snakes and other reptiles, contact WIRES on 1300 094 737.

WIRES advises snakes are generally placid creatures and if left alone will invariably disappear of their own accord.

People are advised to never approach a snake as many people are bitten either trying to catch or get rid of a snake.

Inspector Brotherhood said NSW Ambulance paramedics attend many cases where it did not always transpire that patients had been bitten by a poisonous snake or spider, however it is better to call Triple Zero (000) for assistance to be on the safe side.

Snowy Ride 2016 roars through the region

Luke Shaw, Peter Grant, Paul Kearns, and Neil Bryant (standing) enjoy being back at Snowy Ride.

Sam Sleiman from Campbelltown, NSW, stand with his bike in the Snowy Ride.

Regular riders, Robyn Waters and Gary Roworth.

For 16 proud years Snowy Hydro have been involved with the Snowy Ride and assisting the Steven Walter Children’s Cancer Foundation (SWCCF) in pursuing its core mission: 100 percent survival for children with cancer.

Last weekend the Snowy Mountains once again played host to more than 2200 motorcyclists who made the annual pilgrimage to the Snowy Ride event. While the mountains come alive with the roar of motorcycles of all shapes and sizes, it is easy to forget that they are not only here for the amazing scenery - but to raise much needed funds for children’s cancer research.

The Snowy Ride celebrates the life of Steven Walter, a passionate young motorcycle rider who lost his fight against cancer in 2000. In his final days Steven wrote a powerful letter to his family and friends asking them to raise money for childhood cancer research “so that one day no other kid would have to go through what I’ve been through”. Since then, a devoted group of volunteers led by Steven’s mother, Sue Walter, established the SWCCF and from its inception, estimate that almost $40 million has either been given or leveraged towards

children’s cancer research.

More than 40,000 riders have participated over the 16 years of the Snowy Ride, however most importantly, the Snowy Ride has has helped the SWCFF directly raise in excess of $7 million for children’s cancer research provided psycho-social benefits derived from the family and communitybased program sponsored by Snowy Hydro.

The Snowy Hydro Family Program brings families with a child who is suffering from cancer to the Snowy Mountains for the Snowy Ride weekend.

This gives families who are facing the real challenges of an ill child the opportunity to have a break and experience the best hospitality the Snowy Mountains has to offer. They get a well-earned break from hospitals and all the challenges they impose on a family.

This is our 16th year involved with this fantastic community event and children’s cancer fundraising initiative and we sponsor the Snowy Ride and SWCCF to the value of $100,000. This year 44 parents, siblings and the kids currently fighting the disease participated in the Snowy Hydro Family Program, including two local Cooma families.

Thousands of motorcyclists made there way through the region over the weekend for the annual Snowy Ride. Pictured, stopping off in Cooma and Bombala, the riders came from far and wide to take part in the charity ride.

They were welcomed warmly by the community.

GRASSROOTS

Wednesday November 9, 2016

The secret weapon for ACCC cattle market study highlights need for transparency fighting lovegrass African Lovegrass has become a great concern for farmers across the Monaro, but Australian Soil Management may have found the answer to controlling it.

A three-year trial using compost as a means of controlling the prolific weed has returned successful results.

Australian Soil Management will be hosting a Monaro Field Day on November 30 to present the outcomes of the study. Presenters will include Dr Greg Bender and Norman Marshall from Australian Soil Management and David Hardwick of Soil Land Food.

Discussing the importance of organic matter in soil, the Monaro Filed Day will outline the benefits of using compost for pasture health.

The trials based at Macfield and Billilingra, have involved treating pastures with up to five tonnes of compost per hectare. The compost, donated by the Snowy Monaro Regional Council, helps to put organic matter back into the soil.

This improves the soils ability to hold water, allowing more native grasses to flourish and compete against African Lovegrass. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Compost has come a long way over the past few years,â&#x20AC;? says Mr

Marshall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a real science and an art to it. There must be the correct ratio of nitrogen, oxygen and water.

Temperature is also really important factor as it kills off pathogens as well as grass seeds.â&#x20AC;?

The latest way of using compost is to distribute it in the soil, rather than on top. A demonstration of how this is done will be held on the Monaro Field Day. The purpose of the day is for people to learn about the methods used in the trial and the benefits of them. It will also provide an opportunity to ask questions. Representatives of the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) will be coming along, as well as people from the Federal Government Department of Environment.

The Monaro Field Day is a free event. RSVPs are required by Friday November 18 to Norman Marshall on 0414 287 326 or Greg Bender on 0410 480 165 or greg.bender@ australiansoil.com.au.

Participants will meet at the Cooma Ex-Services Club for a 9am start.

Transportation will be organised to the trial sites with morning tea and lunch included. The day will finish at 2pm.

NSW Farmers welcomes the release of the interim report of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) Cattle and Beef Market Study.

The interim report highlights the need for independence and transparency in the grading system, as well as better access to consistent market information in order to increase the profitability of cattle operations.

NSW Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; President, Derek Schoen said that the key concerns of beef producers are reflected in the findings and that the industry welcomed the report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve engaged with the ACCC on the problems with saleyard integrity, the impacts of market consolidation, and the need for increased independence and transparency in grading,â&#x20AC;? Mr Schoen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This report recognises those concerns as legitimate issues and we thank the Commission for its analysis.â&#x20AC;?

The interim report recommends the introduction of a mandatory Buyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Register at saleyards to disclose details of commission buyers and the parties for whom those buyers

are acting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Disclosure of commission buyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; representation was a key recommendation of NSW Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; submission and we are pleased to see that it has been picked up in this interim report.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Schoen said that the interim report also recognises producersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concerns about objective carcass measurement and the availability of market information. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cattle producers need accurate information to be able to fulfill market demand. We see price deductions passed back to the farmer, but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always have the information to fully understand why carcasses are discounted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our submission, NSW Farmers discussed transparency and accountability of carcass grading, which is currently subjective and often inaccurate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Objective carcass measurement and better oversight of carcass grading will improve the integrity of the processing sector. Importantly too, it could create greater production efficiencies by giving producers market signals on how best to meet demand. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m

pleased to see this reflected in the interim report. This remains a key issue for producers and processors to drive together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ACCC also recognises that the current market reporting system isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working, and it recommends processors and buyers make price grids publicly available. This is an encouraging step forward for transparency in the cattle industry.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Schoen said that market consolidation would remain an issue for the industry, and that future mergers would need to be assessed in detail to understand the full impacts on the supply chain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this report, the ACCC has said it will scrutinise future proposed mergers, including regional processing capacity and the provision of service kill contracts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is more work to be done to rebuild fairness and transparency in the beef industry, and NSW Farmers is encouraged by the positive steps being taken to address market imbalances and ensure our cattle farmers are productive and profitable,â&#x20AC;? Mr Schoen concluded.

Trade expert appointed to key US market role

Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) has appointed experienced trade and market counsel Rob Williams as its next International Business Manager for North America.

MLA Managing Director Richard Norton said Mr Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience in a suite of senior trade and market access roles made him the right man for the job at a critical time in the life of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest export market.

Mr Williams will take over the role from David Pietsch following a comprehensive handover and the conclusion of his four-year term in MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Washington DC office in December.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;After a careful assessment of our industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs in the US market right now and a rigorous skills-based selection process, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m confident that Rob Williams has the insight and the ability for this important role,â&#x20AC;? Mr Norton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr Williams will play a key part with MLA in addressing a range of issues in the US market including the continued enhancement of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position, the future of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, Brazilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entry to the market and the development of a new Farm Bill in 2018.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Williams comes to the role with impeccable credentials, having served as Agriculture Counsellor in Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beijing and Washington DC embassies and then as Č&#x2C6; Â&#x192;Â&#x2013; Â&#x192;Â&#x2013;Â&#x2013;Â&#x17D;Â&#x2021; Č&#x201A; Thursday weekly 9am Trade Director of Technical 10, 17 & 24 November, 1 December Market Access at the Australian Č&#x2C6; Â&#x2013;Â&#x2018;Â&#x201D;Â&#x2021; Â&#x192;Â&#x2013;Â&#x2013;Â&#x17D;Â&#x2021; Č&#x201A; 2nd & 4th Friday 10am Meat Processor 11 & 25 November, 9 December & 13 January C o r p o r a t i o n (AMPC).

Mr Williams is a qualified veterinarian and first worked in private practice before joining the federal Department of Agriculture and serving in management roles in biosecurity, export facilitation, animal health and emergency disease preparedness.

Mr Norton said MLA had planned an extensive handover for the role and outgoing International Business Manager David Pietsch would also assist MLA with a number of key events in early 2017. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be further opportunity to thank David Pietsch when he returns to Australia, but I want to take this opportunity to put on record MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appreciation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and that of our industry â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for his excellent service,â&#x20AC;? Mr Norton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are high profile jobs at the coal face of our industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important markets and people like David who serve in them carry the weight of that responsibility. I thank David and his family for their contribution to the success of Australian red meat in North America.â&#x20AC;?

MLA maintains a network of international offices in Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major established and developing markets which monitor in-market consumer and business trends and work with industry to market and promote Australian red meat and livestock. International Business Manager roles are term limited, publicly advertised and skills-based appointments.

Morefieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last annual ram sale

Why lamb is a good source of Omega 3 New research drawing on data from the sheep industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Information Nucleus Flock program shows lamb could be marketed to consumers as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;good sourceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of beneficial Omega 3 fatty acids, iron and zinc.

The research conducted by Prof. Neil Mann, of RMIT University, in conjunction with the Cooperative Research Centre for Sheep Industry Innovation (Sheep CRC), analysed INF data relating to the nutritional aspects of lamb.

He found that in most instances Australian lamb met the requirements to be classified as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;low in saturated fatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and a source of iron, zinc and Omega 3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given the positive nutritional aspects of lean lamb in terms of iron, zinc, Omega 3 fats and low saturated fat levels, along with its potential to deliver

useful levels of Vitamin B12 and other vitamins and minerals, there is great scope for promoting the health aspects of lean lamb regardless of the diet the animals have been fed,â&#x20AC;? Prof. Mann said.

The research revealed that beneficial saturated fats and Omega 3 fatty acids were more evident in lambs fed green foliage, but these levels declined as the amount of grain or dry feed in their diet increased. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, the variation in Omega 3 content in lean lamb is minimal in absolute terms between the longest and shortest grain and/or dry feeding situations in this study, and when lamb is consumed at moderate levels it may make a small but important contribution to our intake of Omega 3 fats, with positive effects on human health,â&#x20AC;? Prof. Mann said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Continuing research would be beneficial to observe if iron and zinc levels in lamb varied depending on in feeding regimes, breeding, climatic conditions and slaughter age/weight.â&#x20AC;?

The research consolidates earlier international studies which showed that the lean portion of lamb meat has no negative effect on human markers for cardiovascular disease.

However, Prof.

Mann said human consumption trials were required to quantify the impact of lamb in the diet on a range of human health measures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knowing that lamb can be an important source of key minerals and Omega 3 in the human diet, maintenance of optimal concentrations in the lamb meat may play a critical role in the health of many individuals,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Operating for 40 years, the poll dorset stud Morefield will hold its last annual ram sale on November 18.

A family founded and run stud, Terry and Leanne Moreing dissolved the partnership with Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Gary, eight years ago. Now, intending on cutting back their work load, the stud will be handed over to Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nephew Iain Ford and his wife Kristy and run under their stud name, Anneleigh.

Over the last 40 years, Terry says that the focus has been on structurally correct sheep. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like to achieve a middle of the road ram, with a nice carcass shape, clean points and a bit of meat.â&#x20AC;?

Originally a prime lamb

the best for last, with 17 rams in their final sale sons of an Armdale Park sire. Sons of the same sire recently sold to a top of $14,000.

Run on their 2,700 acre property Mooresprings near Bibbenluke, Terry and Leanne also breed Hereford cattle. Often travelling to Wodonga Show and Sale, they have never had to bring a bull back home. Once the poll dorset stud is handed over to Anneleigh, Terry and Leanne hope to focus more on the cattle in the future and hold on-property open days for the private sale of their fine bulls.

The sale will see 125 poll dorset rams in the Mooresprings yards on November 18. All are welcome.

SELX Market report Numbers increased this week with a total yarding of 16,758, which comprised of 7,029 sucker lambs. Usual buyers were in attendance, with the exception of one domestic processor, although not all buyers operated to full competition. A lack of weight in new season lambs resulted in varied competition for some processors. Higher prices towards the end of last week could be a reason for the larger contingent of store lambs between the 38kg – 45kg mark.

Heavy new season lambs topped at $148, to average $113 - $7 cheaper than the previous week. A lack of quality store lambs was evident, with local agents and re-stockers unable to fill required orders.

Once again the mutton market was the shining light.

Wethers remained firm. Merino ewes averaged $8 more than the previous week, so to with crossbred ewes averaging $12 more. The increase in mutton prices can be attributed to the added competition from re-stockers seeking sheep to utilise the spring feed, as the store lamb market increases in price.

Buyers appreciated the quality yarding and paid an extra 3c than the previous week for steers 350-500kg to average 341c. Heifers in the same weight category were basically unchanged to average 311c, against last weeks 309c. With a real lack of lightweight cattle, there were only 4 pens of actual store steers, which sold to a top of 424c for 295kg weaners to return $1,250.

Agents continue to increase the quality of the cattle yarded as we move deeper into the spring and the good feed takes hold. All buyers were again present with the exception of one store buyer, which did not affect prices of the heavier weight yarding of cattle.

Agents continue to increase the quality of the cattle yarded as we move deeper into the spring and the good feed takes hold. All buyers were again present with the exception of one store buyer, which did not affect prices of the heavier weight yarding of cattle.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Itt s okay.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; k Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re addicted too.

Bombala netballer plays with Silver Sonix The Australian mixed netball team the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sonixâ&#x20AC;? went into the World Invitational Tournament as rank outsiders to win the Title.

The team with seven Queenslanders, one Victorian and three New South Welshman including Bombalaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Jordan Bedingfield, were playing in New Zealandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back yard and the Kiwiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s along with the Samoanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s were the favourites to take out the title.

Both the Kiwiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and the Samoans had current and former Silverferns players and in the round stages of the tournament they demolished their opposition. The Sonix lost to Samoa by 11 goals and two days later the Kiwiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beat the Aussies by an impressive 15 goals.

The Aussieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with Jordan in the starting line up had big victories over Nuie then beat Tonga by 100 which placed them in third on percentages.

Their semi final opponent was to be the giant Samoan side including Silverfern goal shooter Catherine Latu who was directly opposed to Jordan. Giving away a size and height advantage in defence the Sonix worked extremely well to shut down the Samoan mid court and restrict the good service the Goal attack and shooter previously had in the round stages.

At the final break Australians led by two which seemed to be a very uncomfortable advantage.

But as Aussies only know how they grew in confidence and

Wednesday November 9, 2016

the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts were rewarded at both ends of the court repelling wave after wave of attack and sweeping the ball into their opponents goal circle for Sonix â&#x20AC;&#x153;GSâ&#x20AC;?

Mike Soloman to convert. The Final score 70-65 to the Sonix taking them to the Final.

The final was against the very physical New Zealand team, who had bashed up the Sonix earlier in the week. With only eight fully fit players plus the Sonix bean pole defender who was only able to get through half a game with an ankle injury the Australians needed all the luck and form to knock off the New Zealanders on their home patch.

The Kiwis were the first to gain an advantage when Sonix centre left the court after an ugly off the ball incident leaving him with a knee injury. At the defence end of the court New Zealand were unstoppable once they got the ball to the post. At half time the lead for the Kiwis was out to 5. As the third quarter belonged to the Aussies, centre Shannon Taylor returned and Jordan Bedingfield injected into the game as the Aussies

only changes, it seemed to spark the visitors and as their supporters in the stands found some voice as the Sonix levelled and held all the momentum going into the last quarter.

There is no happy ending to the story however with scores level Bedingfield came out of a collision with a what looked like an ankle injury and had to be replaced, New Zealand skipped away and held on to take out the Championship by 5.

The team were disappointed with the loss but Australian, NSW and St George coach reminded that Silver is a very respectable result and step better than previous trips across the ditch.

Jordanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own performance was exceptional, playing tough when she had too by not giving an inch up against her intimidating Silverfern opponent. Jordan said â&#x20AC;&#x153;what an honour to wear the green and gold and to come away with a silver medal. Again I wish to thank the Southern Monaro Cattledogs and the people of my home town of Bombala for all the supportâ&#x20AC;?. Aussie Aussie Aussieâ&#x20AC;Ś

Southern Cross Anniversary Car Rally

Gold

Cooma and Monaro residents will have the opportunity to see and meet the drivers of thirty historical rally cars competing in the 50th (Gold) Anniversary Southern Cross Rally on Friday morning November 11.

The drivers will be stopping for breakfast at the Cooma Car Clubhouse from 7:30am to 9am. At 9am the competitors will depart, travelling north along Shannons Flat Road and Jones Plain Road for a timed special stage, then on to Canberra.

The star driver in the event is five times Australian rally Champion Ross Dunkerton who is driving a Datsun 1600 navigated by his wife Lisa. Other wellknown historic rally stars are Ian Swan driving a very quick Volvo 242, former NSW Rally Champion Mike Batten in a Datsun 1600, and 2011 Alpine Rally winner Darryn Snooks.

The Rally Director is Bob Watson who is a former Australian and Victorian champion car rally driver, international rally winner,

author of several motor sport books, and inaugural inductee into both the Australian and Victorian Rally Halls of Fame. Bob also co-drove a Holden Monaro to third place in the 1968 HardieFerodo 500 (forerunner of the Bathurst 1000).

The Southern Cross Rally, which was run from 1966 to 1980, was Australia’s first truly international rally.

The Gold Anniversary Rally is being organised by the Historic Rally Association to celebrate the first running of this iconic event.

The Rally is a Touring Road Event, which will include a variety of timed competitive events each day, and is intended for both past participants and those who missed the opportunity to compete when the event was run.

There is a wide range of cars entered, mostly 1960s and 1970s.

Rally favourites including six Datsun 1600/P510 models and a 240Z, Peugeot 404s, 504s and a 505, three Volvos, Mitsubishis and some more modern cars including a Renault Clio Sport.

Surf To Summit Car Rally November 12-13 There has been a huge entry of 101 cars in this very popular biannual Snowy Mountains Touring Classic over the weekend.

The Rally will be conducted over some great sealed roads of the Monaro, Far South Coast and the Snowy Mountains. On Saturday, the drivers and their passengers will enjoy some breathtaking countryside between Cooma and Pambula, and enjoy the hospitality of Cooma at Saturday night’s presentation dinner. On Sunday, the cars will head to the Snowy Mountains via Berridale, Dalgety and Jindabyne.

The rally is open to Classic 30 years plus or replica cars. The rally has drawn drivers and cars from all over the state including 23 AC Cobras and Cobra Replicas, and a wide range of other cars including a 1928 Austin Seven driven by Virginia Mackie, a 1953 Bristol 403 driven by Bob and Jenny Dunk, and a much more modern 1986 Ford Sierra RS Cosworth entered by Mick Hayden.

$50,000 grant to Jindabyne Cycling Club The Jindabyne Cycling Club has received a $50,000 grant from the NSW State Government to build a trail from Curiosity Rocks to Hatchery Bay. A further $43,000 in grant money is going towards the construction of a bridge over Wollondibby Creek with the end goal being the construction of an Epic Trail that is recognised by the International Mountain Bike Association.

The definition of an Epic Track involves a 30km single trail through a spectacular area and there is currently only one in Australia.

The National Parks is in the process of building a track from the top of Thredbo chairlift and it is the hope of the Jindabyne Cycling Club that eventually riders will be able to go from the top of the chair all the way in to Jindabyne and the whole way around the lake.

The cycling club is enthusiastic about developing trails in the region as there is a large local interest in the sport and people believe it is the future of summer tourism in the region.

“Within the last five years it has exploded Currently around 10 percent of Jindabyne’s wthanks to commitment such as the Trail permanent population is involved with the Stewardship and the Jindabyne Girl Riders,” club and participation is increasing with the Steve Gilmore from the Jindabyne Cycling Club development of trails in the region. said.

Member for Monaro John Barilaro and Snowy Regional Council administrator Dean Lynch with members of the Jindabyne Cycling Club.

2016 Cooma Monaro Carp Bill Elder Shield concludes today Comp - Who can catch the biggest carp this year?

The challenge is on again to see who can catch the biggest carp during the month-long Cooma Monaro Carp competition, running from the November 19 to the December 17 this year.

As many of our local fishers know, carp are an increasing pest in our rivers and the Cooma Monaro Carp Comp aims to help take carp out of our river systems before they breed this summer as well as pin-point carp hot spots by recording fishing sessions in an angler diary. In last year’s comp, the largest carp caught was a 74cm long carp fished from the Cooma Creek (pictured).

The comp is hosted by the Alpine Hotel Anglers, Bredbo and Numeralla Fishing Clubs and supported by the Upper Murrumbidgee Demonstration Reach, the Capital Region Fishing Alliance and the NSW Recreational Fishing Trust. Entrants do not need to belong to a fishing club to take part.

This comp does not replace the annual Carp-outs already being held by the individual clubs and so this means more fishing time to be had by all, but aims to get everyone out to target carp over a wide area during November and December. Fishing is allowed in the upper

Murrumbidgee River and its tributaries south of the ACT including the Numeralla and Bredbo Rivers.

Entrants must be registered before starting to fish.

Registrations are accepted at any time until the end of the competition. Prizes will be awarded for the largest fish caught as well as for mystery length categories. Fish are entered by placing them on a brag mat, taking a photograph and submitting it via phone or email for judging. Fishing sessions are validated by recording them in the fishing diary.

Entry forms and comp details can be found at upperbidgeereach.org.au/ cmcarpcomp. Completed entries can be dropped in at the Alpine Hotel in Cooma or Snowy Mountains Gourmet Foods in Bredbo. Contact Kathleen on 0407 085 943 for further information.

Some very convincing wins in Wednesday’s social bowls with 14 shots the biggest margin.

Ken Rees, Mary Phillips and Ron Wainwright won the first four ends for a 7/0 lead. Ten ends later they were still on seven and their opponents, Allan Crowe, Mick Mayhew and Leonie Snell had taken the lead 20/7.

Allan, Mick and Leonie eventually won 26/15.

Peter Harris played swinging lead for Renate Winckel and Geoff Venables and for Judy Locker and Denis Steinfort.

Nine shots over the first four ends for Geoff’s team put them in a winning positions and they did not waste it , going on to win 29/15.

Max Butler, Mike Mannile and Bob Lahy scored three on the first end against Max Povey, Mario Frezza and Paul Cannell and sat on that score for a further four ends. End 11 saw Bob’s team trailing 11/12 but came home full of running to win 26/16. Today, Wednesday 9 is the final round of Bill Elder Shield and a list of how every one scored and who played over the previous five months will be on display at the Club prior to this final round.

For social bowls on Saturday it was welcome to former members Chris Wallace, Helen and Colin Peuker and their friend Leanne Phillips.

Helen Peuker, Darren Collins and Daphne Buckley came up against Roulie Steinfort, Maureen D’Amico and Richard Nichols. This was a fairly even game until Daphne’s team dropped five shots on end 12 to trail 5/13 and were unable to recover with Roulie, Maureen and Richard going on to win 22/9.

Mario Frezza, Colin Peuker and Geoff Venables were just in front of Ken Rees, Bob Douglass and Chris Wallace on end 12 then ran away with the game over the next nine ends to win 21/12.

Leanne Phillips, Renate Winckel and Mark Buckley were leading Max Butler, Mary Obermaier and Mike Mannile 18/9 on end 13.

Eleven shots to five in favour of Max, Mary and Mike over the remaining eight ends almost got them home but went down 20/23.

The Triples semi-final, Ross Russell, Mel

Storta and Wayne Lodge v P.Marsicano, Brian Seears (subbing for Tony Gray) and Paul Cannell started out as a fairly even game with Paul’s team holding a slender 6/3 lead.

They were kept on six for six ends whilst their opponents doubled that score to lead 12/6. Three shots on 11 brought Peter, Brian and Paul back in to contention but then spent seven ends on nine with Ross, Mel and Wayne moving to 20 and went on to book a spot in the final 24/14, to play Steve Lapham, Wayne Flynn and John Schoon.

In the Final on Sunday, both teams started well with Steve, Wayne and John having a slender 7/6 lead on end nine .

On end 10 Ross, Mel and Wayne scored six shots to put them ahead, but only for one end as John”s team replied with four shots on 12 to again lead 13/12. Scores were locked up 16/16 on 16 and it was at that point in the game when Ross, Mel and Wayne started to draw away only to have their opponents respond and at 24/22 in favour of Wayne’s team on 23 the title was up for grabs. Five shots over the final two ends gave Ross, Mel and Wayne the title for this year.

A good crowd of onlookers were certainly well entertained.

Just one rink of social bowls. Sandi Litchfield, Darren Collins and Ron Wainwright trailed Gus Mallamace, Brian Searle and Ignazio Mondello 7/9 on end 12, but kept their opponents scoreless for the remainder of the game to win 24/9.

The entry sheets are on the notice board for club major pairs and club singles. Bowlers entering either or both of these events should be prepared to play in December and January as Pennants commence on January 29 and it is planned to have these events finalised before that date.

Club Challenge will commence on Saturday November 26 with Cooma v Jindabyne and Adaminaby v Nimmitabel both at Adaminaby.

Sunday November 27 - Adaminaby v Jindabyne and Cooma v Nimmitabel both at Cooma. Cards called 1.15 play to start at 1.30pm.

Our young ones rewrite the record book PC rally

Four records broken in the field events by our up and coming stars.

1. U/6, one of our new girls Chantelle Douglass added 5.90m to the Sling Ball Record, slinging it out to 23.40m. The old record was 17.50m held by Tahila Zusak.

2. The Sling Ball received another heavy workout in the U/7 boys competition when Eli Riley tossed it well over 31m taking the record off Jack Ferguson from last season at 26.84m. Eli holds the record at 31.13m.

3. U/9 age group moved from the Sling Ball to the club throwing this season. In the girls, Emily Revelant stepped up and hurled it out 24cm past Maya Ferguson 15/16 record, recording a throw of 13.80m.

4. Cameron Taylor added 5cm to Max Boole’s old record on his first outing at this event posting 23.83m.

Well done to you all.

Improvers Phoebe Hoctor (U8) and Reuben Hooper (U/13) with three improvements performance headed the list of 29 athletes who had bettered their old performances this season.

Phoebe blasted her previous 50m time out of the water with a rattling run in 10.57 sec, nearly a full second improvement on her first outing this season. Phoebe’s

other two Improvements were in the Long Jump and Discus.

Reuben clocked 14.05s in his effort to run a sub 14 second run.

While in the throws department Reuben pushed his Shot Put out to 6.44 mts and his Discus beyond 20m for the first time this season by heaving it 20.15m.

The Top Ten Shoot Out on the track went down to fractions of a percentage point.

• In top position was U/12 boy Jordan Williams in the 100m Sprint by going under the 15s on our track in 14.99s.

• Hot on his heals was Ruby Mould running in the girls U/14 400m in 1:09.41s. This was Ruby’s first hit out run this season.

Ruby is likely to go close or break the 1 minute mark on a Tartan Track later this season.

• Another U/14 girl sprinting star Taylah Maurier was within 1.3% of Jordan Williams’s top place this week.

Taylah’s time of 14.53s was her fastest on grass this season.

All of these Athletes had achieved 88% of their event record.

Another young lass who was less than a 1% point behind these other athletes was U/10 Abbie Hamilton who in her debut run over 400m in 1:24.76s. Very Impressive.

Field Top Ten The four record breakers • Chantelle Douglass (U/6), Eli Riley (U/7), Emily Revelant (U9) and Cameron Taylor (U/9) • Joshua Southam keeps leaping towards the U/10 High Jump Record of 1.33m and this

week his effort has rewarded him by coming within 10cm of that target by clearing 1.23m.

• Stephen Davis is determined to catch the U/11 discus record this season and his training throws have been within a metre of it. This week Stephen suffered onslaught of a fickle wind conditions against him and he could only manage 23.01m.

• U/9 Accacia Hare has a liking for the club throwing event, this week Accacia came in 7th position in the Field Events with a toss of 11.77m.

• U/9 Charlie Ward also likes the club throwing and let fly over 20m in recording 20.59m.

PLEASE COME ALONG.

Junior players selected for Raiders teams Three junior rugby league players from the Cooma Rugby Leauge Football Club have successfully made it in to the 40 man squad for the Canberra Raiders junior teams.

Carson Barrett has been selected in the Under 18s SG Ball squad and Keegan Caldwell and James Hayden in the Under 16s Harold Matts squad.

The boys took part in the Rookie Camp last week and are training Monday, Wednesday and Saturday in the lead up to the competition which starts in early February.

The Delegate Pony Club’s November Rally was attended by 22 riders with Ange Kane, Rowena Butterworth and Neville Summerell instructing.

Neville went through the history of the club, showing some of the original trophies from Delegate’s gymkhanas.

The first presented trophies of the club dated back to 1964.

Ange instructed the riders to walk and trot a 20m circle, worked with their riding positions and conducted an obstacle course in hand to teach correct leading. She also taught the riders different techniques on how to position their horse when confronted with obstacles and, so they could practise at time, showed them how to make easy obstacles at home.

Five of the youngest riders started their day with a mounted game called the Housewives Scurry run

by Rowena. The game had them collecting fruit and vegetable items in a particular order. After morning tea, the group moved on to some pole work, jumping positions, crest release, looking where they are going and steering around obstacles.

After lunch was jumping. The mini E and D grade riders worked on riding a line through a series of jumps in preparation for the upcoming gymkhana. They also worked on desensitising horses and ponies by schooling over the yellow plank and walk jumps.

Older riders focussed on transitions, pace and riding position in the morning. In the afternoon they did jumping.

The next training day will be held on November 26 and upcoming gymkhana will be on November 27.

Pictured: Keegan, Carson and James who have been selected in the Raiders squad.

Bushpigs postpone black tie fundraiser Business House Bowls The Jindabyne Bushpigs Rugby Union Club will be hosting a black tie ball for the serious injury fund.

The event which was scheduled for November 12, has been postponed until February 11 due to a scheduling conflict with the hall.

The primary recipient of the fund will be club captain Steve ‘Rompa’ Romppanen who was seriously injured at Crookwell on Saturday July 30, during a pick and drive phase.

His neck was immediately braced, thanks to one of the Crookwell players being a trainied paramedic, and care for his spine was exemplary from the word go.

Rompa was transported by ambulance to Goulburn Hospital where he was assessed before being airlifted to Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney.

The first assessment was that Rompa had dislocated his neck at C4/C5 and had several neck factures.

He had surgery on the Sunday afternoon and the report from doctors, his family, and Rompa himself, was that it all went well.

Part of his hip bone was cut and

grafted in his neck and the damage was not as bad as first suspected.

It was thought that a further operation would be needed but as yet, this has not been required.

Rompa’s recovery and rehabilitation has been progressing well, but, as a result of the significance of his injuries, he is unable to work and there are significant ongoing costs associated with his care.

As a result, the Jindabyne Rugby Union Club has established the Serious Injury Fund to assist Injured players, with Rompa being the first primary recipient. While the ARU does provide some assistance, it is minimal and significant financial hardship continues to face seriously Injured players.

The Inaugural Serious Injury Fund Black Tie Ball will be held on February 11, 2017, and the Jindabyne Rugby Union Club cordially invites you, your family, friends, business partners & associates to join them for a wonderful evening, raising funds for this cause, close to our hearts and community, in particular support of our Club Captain, Steve “Rompa” Romppanen.

The Black Tie Ball will feature a three course meal/ canapés & finger food, a guest speaker, a band & a silent auction of various sporting memorabilia & prizes.

The Jindabyne Rugby Union Club has had a highly successful year, both on and off the field; with all teams making the Semi Finals and their wonderful First Track’s Under 10s Piglets winning their Grand Final.

The club also ran a highly successful charity day for The Black Dog Institute and a huge fundraising campaign for Shane & Alex Wakeford’s Kidney Appeal.

Once again, the Jindabyne Rugby Union Club is asking for your support.

Please join them at the Inaugural Serious Injury Fund Black Tie Ball on February 11, 2017 to help raise funds in support of Club Captain, Steve “Rompa” Romppanen and the JRUC Serious Injury Fund. If you are able to donate any prizes or memorabilia to be included in the Silent Auction, please contact Mick Swinney on 0400 421 085 or mick.swinney63@gmail.com

Special thanks must go to all those who

support the club, especially the sponsors and club members and not without mentioning the committee who keep everything ticking.

2017 will reeve up in February with a practice day, giving everyone the

Windy conditions for the start of the sailing season Lake Jindabyne Sailing Club started the 2016/17 Sailing season with heat one of the Twilight series on the evening of Wednesday November 2. Nine mono-hulls and three catamarans rigged up in a gusty South Westerly breeze. Ross Lawley joined John Byrne on the start boat.

They sent the small catamaran fleet off first on a Starboard rounding clockwise direction course. Barney and Thomas Davis led to the first mark then headed off to the far off mountain mark. Tim Symons and Randy Wieman and Errol Hanlon chased them on the two reaching legs. Randy caught up to Tim and they rounded the Quarry mark together. After taking different courses on the Windward leg, Tim caught and passed both of the Hobie 16s by the Bay Mark.

The lead then changed several times between Tim and Barney until they rounded the Quarry mark for the last time. Tim took advantage of a lucky wind shift & passed Barney to be first across the finish line of the shortened course. The yardstick corrected times gave Barney and Thomas their first win of the season, followed by Tim and Randy and Errol.

There was lots of close racing among the monohulls with many pace changes. Nick Kennedy slipped to the front of the fleet on his Finn and steadily drew away around the

shortened course. The wind dropped during the race making the sailors sail tactically well to keep their positions. Tom sailed a club laser and withdrew from the race early. Nick led the fleet to the finish line followed by Sam Bishop,

times from Sam, John, Martin, Gote, Jason, Kerry and Terry.

A strong Westerly breeze varying from 20 to 40 Kms per hour greeted the sailors who rigged six boats on the chilly Saturday

John Baird and Jason Abbott. Martin Van Weel finished next after an unlucky capsize just before the finish line. He was followed by Terry Lee, Gote Vikstrom and Kerry McGaw. Nick won the race on yardstick corrected

afternoon of 2nd November. John Byrne started the fleet on a three lap windward / leeward course for heat one of the Pointscore series. Nick Kennedy led the mixed fleet around the first mark then onto the first

square run. Sam Bishop suffered a broken mast just after the start and was towed back to the beach by John on the start boat. Tim Symons on his Hobie 17 cat sailed through the fleet to sneak past Nick by the Quarry mark. But clever sailing by Nick saw him pass Tim in the windy conditions on the next leg.

All the sailors enjoyed fast rides around the course while battling with the gusts. Adam Robinson and Rod Baillie sailed Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newly purchased Hobie 16 for the first time and enjoyed plenty of thrilling fast rides. After several capsizes in the chilly water, Kerry McGaw returned to the beach early. Nick led the fleet across the finish line followed by Tim. Despite several capsizes, Martin Van Weel finished next on his Laser after new members Adam and Rod capsized their Hobie 16 just before the finish line. Nick took the yardstick win followed by Martin, Tim and Adam and Rod. The strong winds on Saturday caused the postponement of the planned day four of the KFN Cup for radio controlled yachts, again.

The final races of this series are planned for Saturday November 12 after the regular Point-score race. Sailing is in full swing again at Lake Jindabyne Sailing Club, so get that boat out of the shed and join in the fun at 5:55pm Wednesday evenings and 3pm Saturday afternoons.

Coffey’s topple ladder leaders Coffey’s Hotel Cricket Club made it three wins in a row after toppling ladder leaders, the Jindabyne Tigers.

In a close encounter at Rotary Oval, Coffey’s chased down Jindabyne’s total of 167 with only a few overs and wickets to spare.

Coffey’s returning captain Nick Moon led his side to victory with a well compiled 41.

Coming in to bat with plenty of work to be done, Moon set about knocking the runs off.

Astute hitting saw the total whittled away before some tight bowling from Jindabyne saw Coffey’s pass the total with two overs remaining.

A 55-run partnership between Moon and Jack Johnson (16) took the game away from Jindabyne. Moon was dismissed with only a few runs remaining, as Steve Summerville (12 not out) and Astin Nunan saw the homeside to victory.

The chase got off to a flying start through a blistering 47 from opener Zach Smith. Smith took to the bowlers, hitting a number of boundaries as he punished any delivery on his legs.

Pick of the bowlers for Jindabyne was captain Simon Partell (2/23) and the Monaro’s leading spinner, Lucas Rixon, who bowled five straight maidens.

Jindabyne’s spinning duo of Rixon and

Daniel O’Brien brought Jindabyne back into the contest with O’Brien snaring the wickets of Smith and Johnson.

Batting first, Jindabyne’s innings was repeatedly halted by wickets as Coffey’s opening bowlers produced a fantastic spell.

Nunan finished with 3/37 while Summerville captured 3/14 off eight overs. The duo had Jindabyne in early trouble at 2/7 before opening bat, Tim Gregson, smacked 36 runs in quick fashion.

Junior player Jake Quodling bowled a spell beyond his years, finishing his six overs with only 19 runs coming against him.

Tight bowling from Coffey’s forced the Jindabyne lower order to chase quick runs.

Middle order contributions from Pete Callan, and Chad Stevens helped Jindabyne to 167, a total that proved under par on the batting friendly Rotary Oval., Peak View hammer Dalgety Peak View Jerangle (PVJ) took on Dalgety at Dalgety on Saturday and came away with a strong win.

PVJ won the toss and elected to bat first but got away to a poor start losing Edward Thomas in the first over.

This bought Justin Locker to the crease who joined Lachlan Fraser and the two set about taking to the Dalgety bowling for the next 24 overs in a partnership that was worth

169 runs.

The introduction of Adam Walters 1/69 off nine got the break through removing Locker for 70.

Dave Bartle 2/53 off 9 then picked up Fraser for 88. Josh Fraser 21 and Harrison Cottle 19 kept the scoring going before the Keighley brothers Tim 14 and Nick 20 all fell to the bowling of Luke Treadwell 9 overs 5/64.

Nathan Boate 18* and Luke Bracher 12* saw PVJ finish their 45 overs 9/320. Dalgety got off to a strong start with Iain Elliott 16 and Les Taylor 50 scoring quickly before a good catch saw Elliott depart.

Adam Walters 45 kept the scoring going before the introduction of Josh Fraser into the bowling attack slowed the run rate as well as taking 3/23 off six overs.

Nathan Boate then picked up 3/19 off six taking the game away from Dalgety. Brasher and T. Keighley got the remaining wickets to bowl Dalgety out in 36 overs for 206. Final scores PVJ 9/320 beat Dalgety 10/206 Aussie on a roll On a sunny but very cold and windy day at Berridale Oval, the Aussie won the toss and chose to bat first.

Getting off to a flying start with Brad Tonks (108) the runs were flowing, but a very sharp opening spell from Jack Parkyn (3/27) pulled it back with 3 quick wickets.

Remy Oldrey (42) came to the crease with Tonks and steadied the ship taking the Aussie to 3/92 at drinks.

Some quick fire runs from Oldrey after drinks lifted the run rate further until he was caught trying to loft a drive.

The next two wickets fell quickly again which brought Kaeliff Khoury (40*) to the crease and along with Tonks kept the momentum going through the final 10 overs.

Aussie Hotel finished 7/261 from their 45 overs The Berridale innings started off flying with James Cahill (28) playing some beautiful drives before he held out to long on off the bowling of Oldrey (5/33).

However, the run rate didn’t slow with the Berridale middle order really taking it to the Aussie seamers. While taking regular wickets, Berridale still went to drinks at 5/127 and with the oval playing very fast they were in for a real shot at chasing the runs.

The run rate was slowed after drinks with the two spinners bowling in tandem and it was left to Andrew O’Keeffe (26) to try and get Berridale home. Starting to run out of partners the tail was wrapped up fairly quickly and Berridale were bowled out for 190 in the 40th over.
