Phil Dewhurst, Harvest Supervisor with the Bombala Forestry Corporation, has recently graduated with a Master of Forestry degree from the ANU. Phil began his Masters in 2009 through the national Forestry Masters Program, studying part time while he continued working in the industry.

Phil has been interested in the environment ever since a high school

field trip years ago which focused on native forest management, and was eager to learn more as he progressed through the field.

Furthering his education with a Masters while working full time has of course been a challenge, however, and Phil now looks forward to enjoying a little more spare time before considering further academic pursuits.

Man hit by bus, assaults

Rally organisers await a reponse Organisers of last week’s “Kill the Cull” rally in Sydney, to protest plans to cull 90 percent of the Snowy brumbies from Kosciuszko National Park, are awaiting a response from the Minister for the Environment, Mark Speakman.

After the rally, organisers including president of the Snowy Mountains Bush Users Group Peter Cochran and Leisa Caldwell, representing the Snowy Mountains Horse Riders Association, met with the Minister and presented him with a letter outlining their concerns about the draft wild horse plan of management.

Mr Cochran said this week he was allowing the minister time to respond, but was prepared to take further action to save the brumbies if there was no response or if that response did nothing to help save the horses.

The letter presented to the minister states: “Dear Minister, On behalf of the members and supporters of the Snowy Brumby Coalition of brumby advocate groups which include the Snowy Mountains Bush Users Group and Snowy Mountains Horse Riders Association: “We request a stay of executing and clemency for the nationally recognised icons of the Snowy Mountains – Our Brumbies.

“1.

We reject the 2016 Wild Horse Draft Plan of Management’s key objectives which proposes the 90 percent

elimination of brumbies in the Snowy Mountains. We reject the number of 400 to 800 brumbies to be retained as suggested in the draft plan which is merely picking a number out of thin air. There is no science or data to substantiate this to be a viable and sustainable heritage population.

“2.

The brumby has been identified as having national significance to our culture and therefore is very important to Australia’s heritage. The brumby is a national icon. We reject the assessment process of the NPWS consultation and order a motion of no confidence by the community in which merely internal and biased National Park bureaucrats have total control and decision making powers.

“3.

We remind the government of their MOU agreement with the Coalition of horse riders: we enclose a copy of the MOU agreement that this government duly signed and which states: “The NSW Liberal/National Coalition will (10) ‘ensure that through appropriate Government Departments and ministries

using a stolen season pass on Sunday August 7. Snowboarding in a ski school only zone, he was asked to leave by staff. He verbally abused a lift attendant and has been charged with offensive conduct while in custody and with the fraudulent using of a lift pass.

Two men have been arrested following a brawl in the Old Town Centre in Jindabyne in the early hours of Sunday August 7. A fight broke out between two groups of men at 2.20am.

One man was thrown into a parked car, kicked in the face and punched eight or nine times. He suffered head injuries including swelling, soreness and abrasions as a result of the attack.

Security guards managed to restrain two of the men who were heavily involved in the attack, a 29-year-old and a 24-year-old. One has been charged with assault, the other with assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

The Monaro Area Local Command now has the facilities to conduct random roadside drug testing on a regular basis. Having only obtained the saliva testing facilities about one week ago, there have already been at least eight people caught driving with drugs in their system, including cannabis, ecstasy and methamphetamines.

Police would like to warn the public that driving while under the influence of drugs will result in a charge and the suspension of their driver’s licence, just as drink driving does.

A 73-year-old man was airlifted to Canberra after being struck by a school bus on the Alpine Way on Friday August 5. The Paddington man was travelling to Jindabyne when he stopped at the Kosciuszko National Park entrance to make a transaction.

Following that transaction, the man was walking across the westbound lane on the Alpine Way when he was hit by a school bus. Suffering a fractured femur and a serious head injury, he was taken to Canberra hospital by an ambulance service helicopter. Police are still investigating the circumstances of the incident.

A single vehicle rollover occurred on the Monaro Highway at Nimmitabel at 12.30am on Saturday August 6.

NSW Fire and Rescue extinguished a house fire in Lambie Street, Cooma at 9pm on Friday August 5. Residents of the property heard noises coming from their ceiling. Going outside to investigate, they found that the roof of their house was on fire. There were no injuries and the house has suffered smoke and water damage.

New record label launched Every road trip needs some good tunes.

When you’re picking up your snow gear from Rhythm, grab a copy of the brand new Rhythm Records compilation CD. Five great tracks from very talented local artists, the CD is the first release of new local recording label, Rhythm Records.

Founder Gunther Gorman says he wanted to give local musicians an opportunity.

“There are so many great artists in the area and it is very difficult to create an album on your own,” he says, “I wanted to provide them with a garden to grow in, so that they can share their potential with a wider audience.”

Gunther approached Mick and Karen Klima at Rhythm Snowsports with the idea and they jumped on board without hesitating.

“Rhythm has been born out of a long history of mixing together a love of the mountains with the love of music,” they said, “Rhythm Snowsports called itself Rhythm for one reason only; music is an ever-present, driving force in our lives.”

With the focus of the label being quality music, the CD brings together tracks from local artists Jack Biilmann, Cielle Montgomery, Roger McCulloch and The Barstars.

Jack grew up at Pambula Beach and is now based out of Canberra, but has spent a lot of time in the Snowy Mountains.

Appearing on Triple J’s Unearthed, Jack is a talented songwriter, guitarist

and vocalist.

His piece Keya’s Song (Please Don’t Go) is the first track on the Rhythm Records CD. To catch Jack live, head to The Eiger in Perisher Valley on August 25 and 26.

Cielle Montgomery is an ex-paramedic who comes from a music loving family in Dry Plains near Cooma.

Cielle’s song on the CD is Long Gone and has an alternative country style by this beautiful singer and skilled guitarist.

Roger McCulloch is from Cooma and has been playing guitar since he was 14 years old.

He is the front man of The Barstars, a local band of Cooma guys that love to play music in the style of the 60s, 70s and 80s. Roger has his own track, Bought My Ticket, on the CD as well as

What’s on at the

a tune by The Barstars called Boogie Woogie.

Gunther himself is also part of The Barstars as a guitarist and also has a track of his own on the CD, appropriately called Infectious Rhythm.

Having been involved in the music industry for many years, Gunther has worked with big names in the biz including Daddy Cool, Sherbet and Frankie J Holden.

Grab yourself a copy in the Rhythm Snowsports store, or on their website.

For any local musicians who would like to join the Rhythm Records family, contact Gunther via email on gunthergorman@gmail.com.

Unpopular TrainLink ‘trial’ extended to five years A “trial” change to the TrainLink bus timetable that so angered residents in the Bombala district two years ago has just been extended - and no one is any happier about it!

The change to the TrainLink service has now been extended to five years, with buses to continue to travel from Bombala to Canberra via Jindabyne.

Passengers boarding at Bombala are required to depart at 6.50am and it takes almost two and a half hours just to get to Cooma, and more than four hours to get to Canberra.

The buses travel from Bombala to Bibbenluke, Dalgety and then Jindabyne before heading to Berridale and then Cooma. They then continue on to Kingston Station in Canberra.

Passengers who use the service are given such a short time in Canberra before the return trip, that most are forced to stay overnight in order to attend appointments or conduct business, catching the next bus home again.

The majority of would-bepassengers are seniors, but many from the Bombala district say that they simply cannot utilise the service given the early departure time, the lengthy trip and the potential need to stay overnight in Canberra.

The situation is even worse for those who live in the Delegate area, who first face an early morning trip in often frosty conditions to get to Bombala before the 6.50am departure time.

So what are disappointed Bombala district passengers doing about it? They’re trying once again to have their voices heard, and are urging others to speak up as well.

Those who are dissatisfied with the TrainLink timetable are urged to lodge a complaint through NSW TrainLink on 131 500, or even to consider contacting Minister for Transport, Andrew Constance.

The NSW Government is currently

conducting an inquiry into access to transport for seniors and disadvantaged people in rural and regional NSW, with the Delegate Progress Association (DPA) and two locals of the Delegate area having made submissions.

In its submission the DPA points out that the bus service is also the only viable public transport option for people who need to travel to Sydney as it connects with the Sydney train.

“The Jindabyne people have a direct service to Canberra but Bombala and Delegate residents are forced to endure a long and at times risky bus trip from Bombala to Jindabyne, especially in winter when there could be snowy and icy conditions,” the submission reads.

“If a traveller is going to Canberra or Cooma for a medical appointment a long tedious bus trip is not going to enhance their medical condition.

“Residents travelling from Delegate have to depend upon the goodwill of neighbours or family to take them into Bombala at 6am and to collect them from the bus at 4pm. This becomes particularly onerous in winter.

“It is time for the urban centred policy makers to start to consider the reality of small isolated communities. Older people cannot drive long distances, they do not like to rely on the goodwill of others, they should not have to leave their lifelong homes […] and they do not like feeling that they are some kind of burden on the city centred administration.

“Accessible, affordable public transport is a keystone of livability and yet it is denied the country residents. Australia prides itself on the rural tradition, what a shame that the reality of country living especially for the ageing, proves this a disgraceful lie.”

Submissions to the inquiry have closed, with 78 submissions in total being made.

Community service for wool thefts Delegate man William McCurley has been convicted of 90 counts of stealing and disposing of merino wool.

Appearing in Bombala Court on Tuesday August 2, the 72-year-old was sentenced to 250 hours of community service and ordered to pay $50,000 in compensation and court costs.

Living and working at a property

called ‘Tombong’, which is owned

by Sydney man Denis Cupit, Mr McCurley pocketed $35,000 from wool sales between 2007 and 2015.

Taking the Tombong wool to various woolsheds, including Jemalong and Gordon Litchfield Wool in Cooma, Mr McCurley used a different name at each place to avoid being caught.

Its headquarters have traditionally been at 220-226 Sharp Street Cooma, although the closure of the Cooma office was advised in May, with the loss of 12 local jobs.

I encourage as many people as possible to participate as this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to ride alongside a champion of the sport and to get active while having fun. This event will attract thousands of people to the Snowy Mountains on December 3 2016, and will keep the Monaro’s place on the map for summer destinations – it will also fit nicely with our summer campaign due to be launched shortly.

It’s great to see so much rain across the monaro over the past few weeks.

Cooma’s CWA has presented two cheques to two very deserving community organisations.

The Cooma Gymnastics Club received $500 for the upgrade of their electricals in their office. They were very grateful for the donation, considering they did not even have anything for the office when they first started out.

Another $500 was donated to The Hub Youth

About 150 kids went through The Hub’s program last school holidays, so the money will go a long way to providing an even better program this time.

Be prepared for winter power bill shocks!

Monaro residents may be bracing for bill shock with the new iSelect research revealing that 86 per cent of NSW households are concerned about their upcoming winter energy bill.

The study, commissioned to assess the attitudes and behaviours of NSW households towards energy affordability this winter[1], also found that over 1.5 million households (or 59 per cent of NSW homes) believe their energy bills have

increased over the past year.

In the wake of rising energy costs, 23 per cent of NSW households have cut back on other areas to afford their energy bills over the past 12 months.

While households are most commonly cutting back on dining out and entertainment costs, it’s concerning that over 450,000 NSW homes (17 per cent) have cut back on groceries in order to pay their energy bills.

Energy bills are

traditionally their highest in winter, with energy-hungry appliances like heaters and electric blankets working longer and harder to keep households warm during the colder months.

Laura Crowden, iSelect spokesperson, said it was worrying that energy costs may be forcing Monaro families to brave the cold and cut back on essentials like food and heating costs during winter.

“73 per cent of NSW

households told us that energy costs affect how long or often they operate their home’s heating,” Laura said.

“During winter around forty per cent of your energy can be used up simply by heating the home and running heaters around the clock may result in higher than expected energy bills that stretch Monaro household budgets to their limits,” said Laura.

a hardship plan in the last year and a third of mortgage holders have had to cut back on their winter energy use to meet their home loan repayments.

Laura said the survey showed that while winter energy costs are a concern for most people, just 37 per cent have taken the time to compare or switch providers.

“Just over a third of NSW homes have taken the time to shop around or change providers in the last year, which means many households could be paying more than they need to for energy, particularly if they are still on a standard retail plan.”

I n c r e a s e d competition in NSW means retailers are offering generous introductory offers or rebates to entice new customers such as credit towards their account.

Laura said Monaro residents concerned about energy costs this winter should take the time to speak to an energy expert.

“They can help you understand your current plan, talk you through the variety of options available and help you decide if an alternative plan or provider could offer you better value.”

But Laura cautioned Monaro home owners against simply focusing on price

only and encouraged them to find a plan that suits their lifestyle and individual energy needs, as well as their budget.

“Many energy retailers also offer flexible payment options, with discounts for paying on time or online, or the ability to pay in instalments to avoid the bill shock that comes from an unexpectedly large quarterly bill.” iSelect’s top 5 tips for finding best energy deal 1.

Save money with the right plan – reducing your consumption won’t necessarily reduce your bill significantly. The best way to save money is to make sure you are on the best value plan to begin with 2.

Flexible payment options – pay your bills weekly, fortnightly or monthly, or sign up for bill smoothing which will divide your annual usage into even monthly instalments, avoiding bill shock 3. Be wary of pay on time discounts – paying on time could save you up 30 per cent but if you often pay your bills late, you could end up paying a lot more than you expected 4. Look out for special offers – increased competition means some retailers are offering generous introductory offers or rebates to entice new customers such as credit towards your account 5.

Shop around – use increased energy competition to your advantage by comparing current offers. Call an energy comparison service like iSelect and make sure you have a copy of your latest bill handy

Drug arrest About 3pm on Wednesday August 3, Police attended a residential address in Sentinal Place, Jindabyne.

At that location Police sighted a shipping container that they believed was being used to grow cannabis.

Police spoke to a 37 year old male who occupied the address who allowed them access to the container.

Inside the container Police observed a number of compartments that were being used to grow and dry cannabis.

Police seized a total of 26 cannabis plants

and a large quantity of cannabis leaf. The cannabis comprised of dried leaf, drying plants and cannabis that appeared to have been discarded.

The combined weight of the cannabis leaf was in excess of five (5) kilograms.

The 37-year-old male was arrested and has been charged with three counts of possessing a prohibited drug (cannabis leaf), cultivating a prohibited plant and supplying a prohibited drug.

The male has been bailed conditionally to appear before the Cooma Local Court on September 8.

Bonang Community Planning meeting A Mountain Rivers Community Workshop was held in the Bonang Hall on July 24, providing the opportunity for local area residents to discuss goals for the community as a precursor to the Shire Council review of the existing Community Plan.

The group was asked to nominate community achievements from the past few years that have had a positive impact, with everything from wood-getting working bees to the improvement of local community buildings, and health service delivery all being cited.

It was recognised at the meeting that all of the achievements noted - and there were many - were the result of people in the district coming together and jointly pushing issues.

The group then discussed change, and the differences between change that is chosen and that which is forced on the community.

The concept of the “Wave of Change” was used to identify what and where change was happening, and ideas which could help manage the change.

Amongst the changes being discussed were a dropping population, the area developing as a organic food hub, growing ecotourism, and the need to utilise surrounding centres to advantage.

The meeting also discussed what should be included in a “community vision” which all community members would be able to relate to and which could guide community development and planning.

Again ecotourism and educational tourism became a focus, while a holistic approach to developing a thriving and sustainable community was deemed vital.

The terms “different school of life” and “keeping the forgotten skills going” were among those that surfaced.

The last session of the workshop focussed on bringing the ideas of the day together into actions that could be implemented to build the community and work towards the vision.

The ideas were many and varied, with everything from district maps, to tourist signage, mountain bike trails, a Men’s Shed and a tourism marketing campaign all being suggested.

There were also ideas for further local events, such as children’s days and local bazaars, and thoughts on more targeted tourism for universities and professors.

A further workshop is now planned for November 4, looking at refining the vision and identifying a new name for the area as a replacement for the “Mountain Rivers” title.

Beloka Water cracks Chinese export market Local beverage producer Beloka Water is the latest company to crack the export market into China where the insatiable demand for high quality food and beverages is driving economic growth in NSW. The deal is expected to generate $25 million in the first three years, with local job opportunities opening up for the region.

Beloka Water is a pristine, mineral rich water bottled at the source, outside of Dalgety. CEO and founder Joe Commisso was planting an olive grove when he discovered the large under water aquifer under the ground at Beloka. After further investigation, he realised the high quality of the water and put retirement on hold.

Stocked in many restaurants and cafes across Australia, this the first time Beloka Water is hitting international shores and Mr Commisso and his team could not be more excited.

Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events and Minister for Sport Stuart Ayres said Beloka Water is a prime example of the ‘clean, green and safe’ export product so highly sought after in Asia and a great example of the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement working.

“Beloka Water is a top shelf, 100 per cent Australian made product with a solid domestic reputation set to take off in one of the fastest growing markets in the world,” Mr Ayres said, “With demand for food and beverage products from within NSW set to boom internationally

WE’RE ON YOUR WAY HOME COOMA AND JINDABYNE DROP INTO BWS

and increase by up to 70 percent by 2055, it’s businesses like Beloka the NSW Government is assisting to get onto the international stage.”

Australia’s $544 million bottled water industry is dominated by industry giants and European imported waters however Beloka Water is on its way to targeting 15 percent of the bottled water market.

Mr Commisso credits work by the NSW Trade Commissioner Cher Jones for assisting the export process through market insights, facilitated visits to Dongguan and Guangzhou, and introductions to Chinese importers. “Our success finally came after displaying at the Guangzhou ‘international water tasting competition’ where we gained the attention of suppliers, something we’ve been attempting for three years,” Mr Commisso said.

“Beloka Water is 100 percent Australian - everything from the caps, labels, and boxes are sourced from within Australia, and it is bottled using recycled glass, meaning the water is also developed in a sustainable manner. We think it will be a huge hit amongst China’s rising middle class.

“With such a pure spring coming from Kosciuszko National Park we believe the health benefits of minerals of magnesium, calcium, sodium and potassium which are beneficial to the human muscular, skeletal and nervous systems will be a massive selling point.”

“We believe our water is a great product and we want to share it with everyone, locally and overseas.”

Beloka products have arrived in Shanghai and will start being put on shelves soon and will soon be in Guangzhou.

Economic potential of Southern New South Wales - Member for Eden-Monaro, Mike Kelly Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Bega Valley Economic Summit along with a number of local and regional businesses, business groups, government departments and community organisations. Everyone came away with an increased understanding of the economic potential of our region and a commitment to work together and make it happen.

I would like to thank the Mayor of the Bega Valley Shire Council as well as the General Manager Leanne Barnes and Economic Development Coordinatorr, Shane O’Leary for organising the summit.

There is no greater factor in stimulating innovation and creating opportunities than bringing people together to share and refine ideas.

During this summit we talked about the action we are going to take to grow a diverse and resilient local economy that will provide jobs and create sustainable economic success into the future. These lessons are significant for our entire region.

Southern NSW has enormous potential for economic growth based on the renewable energy industry; over $1 billion dollars of

investment came in to this region for renewable energy projects under the previous Labor Governments policy settings. That investment is down by 88% since the Abbott/ Turnbull Government came to power - that is simply not good enough for our country or this region.

We have every available renewable energy source here in our region, wind, solar, hydro, wave and what’s more we are close to the grid making us an ideal region to attract investment.

There are a lot of spin off aspects from that investment that we should be looking to exploit in research and development, vocational training, and the associated support industries that would benefit from increased economic activity locally.

Key pieces of infrastructure that are coming online in our region also offer huge potential. These include the new Canberra Airport, that’s attracting international flights, upgrades to the Merimbula Airport and the ongoing development of the wharf at the Port of Eden.

There are however, a number of infrastructure constraints still holding us back in our region.

CLASS CORNER

Cooma Public has an open day to celebrate Education Week

SIR WILLIAM HUDSON

MEMORIAL CENTRE AGED CARE FACILITY

The Monaro region is well known for its diversity of characters and personalities that make up is population. Our aged care facility is no different and in the coming columns we will be introducing to you some of our very own residents, staff and volunteers.

If you have entered the Centre in the last few weeks you will have noticed the posters that are around with the face of one of our new registered nurses.

Liberty Thomas, or Libby as she is fondly called, has recently created "The Liberty Foundation" for the victims of domestic violence.

Libby is hoping to establish an organisation that involves a holistic approach to supporting victims, including legal services and psychological support. Libby is a semi-finalist in "Women of the Future". The peoples choice winner will receive $10,000 towards their project, you can vote for Libby at: www.aww.com.au/wotf

Lorraine and Tom Geach with their grandson Ari. Parents, family and friends were able to sit in the classroom with students last week to mark the annual Education Week.

Education Week is held across all public schools and is designed to celebrate the success of the school and the importance of education.

Principal Wendy Attwood said that this year the theme for Cooma Public School was shared stories,

better learning and stronger communities. The school invited the community into their classrooms last Thursday to bring everyone closer together and share in learning literacy activities for the day.

The students thoroughly enjoyed sharing their day with their loved ones and were excited to show them their classrooms and the learning they do there.

Don't forget to save the date! The Royal Military Band will be performing at the Multi Function Centre on September 11th, tickets will available soon at the Visitors Centre, Cooma Ex Services Club and SWHMC. Everyone loves the sound of a BIG Band!

Natasha has worked at SWHMC for over 5 years now, starting her time with the Centre in the kitchen. Over the years she has moved into the role of Assistant in Nursing and is now about to commence her Nursing Degree at University of Canberra. Tash has a natural talent and a caring empathy for others that was obvious to the Board of Directors and Debbie Payne, the Director of Nursing. The Board's belief in Tash's ability has prompted their decision to assist her in reaching her dream of becoming a Nurse.

Al Starr with her daughter Lily and best friend Aishling Thorton.

SWHMC has been fortunate to have Natalie working with us on Mondays. Natalie is a work experience student from Monaro High School who has been assisting Jessica, our Diversional Therapist.

Our residents love Mondays when Natalie is a part of the team, with her caring nature and her happy smiling face. We hope that she is enjoying her time with us as much as we love having her at our care facility.

During July Sir William Hudson Memorial Centre welcomed three new residents and sadly said farewell to Eric Sutton, and Paula Jorgensen who has been a resident at SWHMC since 2001.

Monaro business Women invited to network Local business women can now sign up to the Women’s Online Network (WON), an Australia first online platform created by female entrepreneurs and industry leaders in partnership with the NSW Government, to champion and support women through their business journey.

The Member for Monaro and Minister for Regional Development, Skills and Small Business, John Barilaro is encouraging local business women to join WON to share in the resources, knowledge and experience of the new collaborative community.

“WON is a great resource for existing and aspiring female entrepreneurs, offering a one-stop-shop to business networking groups, resources, training and funding avenues,” Mr Barilaro said.

“We are encouraging local business women to make the most of this information which is available to female entrepreneurs at any stage in their business careers, with a focus on learning, sharing ideas and helping other like-minded women to reach their business goals.”

Mr Barilaro said the website is focused

on increasing the participation of women in entrepreneurship and providing legitimate and rewarding career pathway regardless of location.

“WON provides support at all stages of the business life-cycle, ensuring anyone who wants to start-up or grow their business can use this resource,” Mr Barilaro said.

“The NSW Government is dedicated to delivering new opportunities and making NSW the easiest state to start and grow a business.”

Minister for Women Pru Goward said this digital community for women will help encourage and empower more female entrepreneurs to start a business in NSW. “We have a growing representation of women in entrepreneurialism, but there is more work to be done,” Ms Goward said.

WON is an outcome from the Women in Entrepreneurship (WiE) initiative, which has been created to discuss small business barriers and assist female entrepreneurs with access to information and resources.

POST & RAIL

Wednesday August 10, 2016

the

postman calls

The Postman had decided a week ago that the Olympics were old-hat and he couldn’t be bothered tuning in to watch.

Then he ‘sort-of’ had a passing interest in the opening ceremony, which didn’t do much to excite him.

A couple of women’s basketball matches were interesting, as was watching the Campbell sisters in the pool.

Luckily, the sickening fractured leg suffered by a French gymnast wasn’t observed and disappointingly, The Postman has not yet been able to watch any of the horse events – most disappointing.

But the overwhelming impression left after a few hours on Olympics-watch is this: how could anyone change to provide the uniforms for the women’s beach volleyball?

Seriously, a packet of bandaids and some dental floss seems to be all those cossies are made from. Can’t be comfortable, surely?

But, The Postman now has a new fave - the women’s rugby 7s. Great match yesterday morning - next time maybe some COOMA content, eh, Tayla?

Praise to all at Currawarna Editor, All praise to the staff at Bombala’s Currawarna. I arrived on Wednesday to discover that the residents were to enjoy a Winter Wonderland Ball.

Everyone dressed for the occasion - beautiful gowns and furs for the ladies, and suits, ties and top hats for the gentlemen.

Great attention was given to grooming, with a make-up session for the ladies and aftershave for the men.

It was so wonderful to see the smiles, the toes tapping and the voices singing along to the tunes.

The food was delicious and the decorations delightful.

So a huge thank you from my family - and I’m certain all the other families - to the dedicated management.

Wendy Neville Candelo

You know, there’s no such thing as having just a “quick look” at Facebook and no doubt all of you who have a Facebook page know exactly what I’m talking about. Yet even though I know this, I still think to myself that I can just have a “quick look” when it’s either late at night or I have to go out somewhere in a short while or to fill in time while dinner cooks or whatever and it’s always a mistake.

Thing is, by the time you’ve gone through all your notifications and responded or whatever, or scrolled through what’s shown up while you weren’t on, commented, Liked or Shared, a lot of time has flown by.

I know that’s what happens with me anyway even if I am watching the clock with every intention of logging out as soon as the clock hits whatever time I have set as my logout-and-turn-off-computer deadline!

And I do it every time.

Just five more minutes can turn into an hour or more despite all my best intentions and I sort of have a better understanding now of my kids when they were going through their various social media obsessions where they just couldn’t keep away from my computer or their phones because what if the best stuff was the stuff they hadn’t looked at yet? I so get that now! I can’t miss out on scrolling through all the best stuff! Like the old pics of self and cousins with those terrible haircuts (fringes like, way too short!) and frilly cotton summer dresses…

Seriously, what were our parents

thinking? And the boys with their short back and sides, all decked out in elastic-waisted shorts and buttoned shirts. And did our parents really look like that once upon a time? Geez, Mum really was a size 8 for years after having us but I think back then size 8 was called XSSW (Extra Small Small Woman).

How can I turn off my computer and go when cousins have had such a field day with their scanners and it’s all there in glorious black and white! Or faded colour, depending on the camera at the time. I wouldn’t want them to think I didn’t appreciate their efforts so naturally I have to comment on these images. It’s what you do, you know, and…oh my god! Is that Mum and Aunty Heather in folded up jeans and their shirts tied up around their flat middles sporting Elvis haircuts? Yep. It is. Standing on the border of NSW and Queensland and other than them and the signpost there’s not a thing to be seen for miles. See, if I had turned off when I was supposed to, I would have missed that!

There, you see? This is why there is no such thing as a “quick look” at a Facebook page. There’s too much to laugh about and/or comment on and that’s before you even get to the latest postings from the pages you have Liked. I know there’s always something pretty good from Rustic Cabin Life, Hand Built Houses and Woodworking Tips.

But I was strong while doing this column. Rarely moved from Word till I was done.

Oh, I am good!

Are Australia’s banks being greedy?

Less than half an hour after the Reserve Bank of Australia cut the official cash rate to the new low of 1.5%, some of the nation’s lenders announced their interest rate movements.

Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said he was “disappointed” to see some lenders choose shareholder profits over customer outcomes.

“The RBA’s decision to cut the cash rate in August didn’t come as a surprise,” he said.

“Against a backdrop of historically low inflation, softening employment and an Australian dollar stubbornly determined to stay above $0.75 USD, it was only a matter of time before we saw the RBA cut the cash rate.

“That said, at a time when the economy could do with the lift that a cut to the cash rate would provide, it was deeply disappointing to hear some of the nation’s largest and most profitable lending institutions

announce that only 10 or 13 of the 25 basis point reduction would be passed on to their mortgage customers.

“It would be very easy to let this partial rate cut pass under a veil of rhetoric around the cost of wholesale funds, and requirements to hold increased amounts of capital against mortgages.

“The reality is however, if all lending institutions chose an equally profit focused approach and held back this proportion of the 25 basis point cut, then this equates to something like $2 billion dollars taken out of the pockets of Australian mortgage holders and placed onto the bottom line of institutions that are already generating tens of billions of dollars in profits every year.

“It is also disappointing to see that whilst some lenders are quick in announcing these partial rate reductions, it takes them a little longer to implement these cuts at

all - it can sometimes be weeks and/or months.

“There is no reason why a lending institution cannot pass on rate reductions to their customers as soon as they are announced.

By choosing to delay their approved rate cuts, these lenders are further adding to their swelling bottom lines at the expense of their customers.

“Interestingly, while lenders take weeks to pass on any rate cuts to their home loan customers, I wonder how long it takes for the same institutions to reduce the amount of interest they will pay on savings and transaction accounts.

“There is still a high degree of market volatility. Unemployment has edged slightly higher over the last month, consumer confidence is down, and housing affordability remains a critical issue for many.

“Knowing this, I would like to see more of our lenders act in the interests of their customers.”

If where you live is important Well positioned with an aspect that ensures plenty of natural light and provides warm winter sunshine and cooling breezes in the summer months.

With a renovated kitchen offering a balance of function, convenience and comfort plus a huge covered rear deck that overlooks the back yard giving you a sense of peace relaxation and also allows children to run around and enjoy. There are three comfortable bedrooms, two with BIW’s, dining space and good size lounge room.

Natural gas for heating and a RC unit will provide comfort all year round.

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

ARE YOU SELF-EMPLOYED, OR A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER WANTING TO BUY A HOUSE OR COMMERCIAL PREMISES? FINDING IT HARD TO GET FINANCE? I often hear from people that they are struggling getting finance through their Bank as they are self-employed.

Or they want to buy their business premises, but the rates are so much higher. Come and talk to me.

I have years of experience in reading business financials and tax returns, and know how to present them to the Lender in an application. I also know which Lender’s policies will give you more chance of an approval, as they do have different assessment policies.

There are also some Lenders out there who are offering business loans on low residential rates, using either residential or commercial security. One Lender at the moment, has a variable rate of under 4.50% for business loans, with either residential or commercial security. To find out more, or to see if it would suit your needs, contact me for an obligation free appointment.

I also have built up some connections and referral partners, so that if I am unable to assist directly, I can refer you to someone who may be able to. If you are looking for equipment finance or leasing, I can arrange for someone to contact you to discuss options.

Being self-employed also means you need to look after other areas of your financial situation, to ensure you are on the right track. Damian Toms is a senior financial planner, who can offer advice on areas such as personal insurance, super, wealth creation, and retirement planning. I confidently refer my clients to him, and receive very positive feedback. I can arrange for him to call you or make an appointment to meet.

So, whatever your current situation is, I am more than happy to have a chat and see if I can improve your situation.

Please call me for an appointment, on mobile: 0431 351 873

According to Bayer HealthCare’s Animal Health Technical Services Veterinarian, Domenic Dell’Osa, this is welcome news that will not only make growers’ lives easier, but also deliver economic savings, as well as animal welfare benefits. “For the first time they will be able to prevent flystrike as well as achieving the knock-down

Wool growers will now have a new, powerful line of defence against flystrike thanks to a decision by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA), to approve the animal health product AvengeÂŽ Pour-On Lousicide for blowfly control in short wool.

The product, which has been tested in an extensive study program in various regions throughout Australia, demonstrated that when applied as directed within

flystrike, costs the industry $280 million, according to Australian Wool Innovation. “With this in mind, growers should be considering an effective flystrike management plan now so they are prepared for when the main flystrike period begins,� said Domenic.

Flystrike is a significant issue and one that growers are keen to see a solution for, none moreso than Alistair Yencken of ‘Braemar’, Manilla on the north-west slopes and plains of NSW. “News that Avenge is now effective in preventing flystrike as well, for up to 10 weeks, is great news. I have 12,500 head of sheep and remaining on the front foot in relation to flystrike and other diseases is paramount to ensuring I receive maximum yields.

The fact that one product effectively treats both lice and flystrike – for up to 10 weeks – is of great reassurance,� said Alistair.

Application is simple, as the dose rate for lice and blowfly protection is the same. Sheep can be treated off shears or within seven days of shearing. Existing withholding periods for the product remain the same for wool and meat production.

The extended listing for usage of Avenge follows confirmation by Bayer that June 2016 marked the highest month in usage to date for its pain-relief product Tri-Solfen,

indicating that growers are showing more attention to animal welfare than ever before. “This is really reassuring to us.

It not only tells us that there is an ongoing need from growers for products that address the everyday challenges such as pain management and disease prevention but that our products are working. Demand is increasing and we’re proud that we’re able to extend the usage and benefits of existing products such as Avenge at no extra cost to them,� said Domenic.

Enjoying the fruits of some hard labour...

Snowy Mountains Produce at Numeralla is looking at another successful tilt at the Sydney Royal Fine Foods competition in 2017, following the 2016 harvest of their Frantoio variety olives.

This year the Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil placed second in the competition. Next year producer George Aoun, intends to win.

The indications are good.

This year’s harvest netted 1100 litres of oil, despite nearly six tonne not being picked because it was impacted by frost.

The 2015 crop yielded 270 litres.

The tests George and his son Nick have carried out on the oil are more than encouraging – according to Nick, the 2016 ‘vintage’ is far superior to the

2015 and even more likely to take out the top prize.

The flavour of the two vintages is certainly distinctively different and both have a definite ‘wow’ factor.

The freshness and flavour of the oil has to be experienced to be properly appreciated.

Snowy Mountains Produce olives were picked during May,

crushed, bottled and labelled onsite at Numeralla.

Nick is keen for the operation to remain ‘boutique’, which is easily manageable by the family without it growing too big and too busy.

With the olives sorted for this harvest, the family is now looking forward to the next busy time – when the cherries are due for harvest in a few month’s time.

Pictured with the good oil – Jonas, Alicia, Ruby and Phoenix.

The olives are picked both by hand and with a mechanical harvester.

The olives are crushed to extract the oil, which is then stored until bottling can be completed.

Adaminaby RFS lends a helping hand The Adaminaby Rural Fire Service (RFS) rallied together to help out Adaminaby local Dean Lucas and his family. Dean was recently involved in a skiing accident, breaking his leg. Currently in Canberra Hospital, Dean has been experiencing some complications post surgery.

So with Dean out of action, captain of the Adaminaby RFS brigade Adrian Butters got together about 20 of his blokes and other members of the community to collect and deliver much needed firewood to the family. They ended up getting 10 loads of wood together and stacked it all into the family shed.

Adrian said he was very proud of the team and of the community for so willingly giving up their time to help out over the weekend.

“I spoke with Dean and most of his family on the phone on Sunday and they were all quite emotional about the donation,” said Adrian.

The Adaminaby RFS crew with 10 loads of firewood collected and donated to a neighbour doing it tough last week.

Environment Grant for Catchment Work by Mulloon Institute “The Mulloon Institute has received $100K from the Environment Trust of NSW to assist its Mulloon Community Landscape Rehydration Project (MCLRP)”, Chairman Gary Nairn has announced.

“We were pleased to receive a visit from local State MP, John Barilaro, to announce the grant and to inspect the work being done in the Mulloon Creek catchment.

“This grant from the NSW Government’s Restoration and Rehabilitation fund will go directly towards the

MCLRP as restoration and rehabilitation are part of its major goals,” Gary Nairn explained.

“The MCLRP covers the total Mulloon catchment, 23,000ha in total and about 40kms of creeks including Mulloon Creek, Reedy Creek and Sandhills Creek.

It has been selected by the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (UNSDSN) as one of only five projects in the world to demonstrate how its implementation can contribute to achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals with

respect to agriculture.

“The design of the MCLRP is based on the work of Peter Andrews who guided the design of the in-stream interventions on the pilot project conducted over 3kms of Mulloon Creek over the past nine years,” Mr Nairn added.

“Peter’s signature work was on his former property, Tarwyn Park, so The Mulloon Institute would like to see its current owner, Korean power company Kepco, allow ongoing access so that the unique landscape restoration can be documented in

detail and for it to be used for practical studies as part of training people in how to regenerate and rehydrate degraded landscapes.

“The NSW

Government could assist in achieving this goal as part of its negotiations with Kepco with regards any future developments on Tarwyn Park.

“The MCLRP will

see a total catchment approach to landscape rehydration which will pave the way to addressing many other degraded landscapes but the value of the work

at Tarwyn Park must be recognised as a unique insight into achieving future improved landscape functionality,” Mr Nairn concluded.

Southern Phone wins national customercommitment award Southern Phone Company Ltd has won the the 2016 ACOMM Award for “Commitment To Customer Service”.

Now in their 10th year, the awards are run by Communications Alliance, a national communications industry body whose prime mission is to protect consumer interests by fostering strong business ethics and behaviour through industry selfgovernance, as well as promote Australia’s communications industry growth.

The body’s industry forum also contributes to policy development.

David Joss, Southern Phone’s new Managing Director, who took over from Mark Warren on 1 July, says, “Winning this award just reinforces everything that Southern Phone is about: people.

“The formal description about the award says that Southern Phone ‘executed an integrated approach to lifting customer-satisfaction levels for mobile customers by fostering a workplace culture of resolution not escalation; extending hours of operating in customer service and technical support areas to 24 hours, seven days a week; and developing a team who understand requirements in rural and regional Australia’.

“We pride ourselves on having local customer service, based on the NSW South Coast, where we employ over 135 people.

Out service model is centred on having

a regional team with a servicing regional customer, clearly this is something our customers value too.”

Mr Joss says Southern Phone has grown to become the secondlargest home phone provider in regional Australia, which it achieved by maintaining a strong focus on customer service.

He says the ACOMM Award comes on top of Southern Phone receiving the Roy Morgan National Award for the Best Home Phone Provider in Australia for the third year in a row earlier this year, and the Best Mobile Phone Provider five months in a row.

“You can only win awards such as this by being dedicated to the customer. I am so proud of every single employee in Southern Phone who has been part of implementing this integrated approach to lifting customer-satisfaction levels for our mobile customers.”

The awards were announced at the ACOMM Annual Awards Dinner in Sydney in late July.

On the evening, Communications Alliance CEO John Stanton said, “The ACOMM Awards represent the pinnacle of achievement for the Australian communications industry and I congratulate all the winners and finalists. Excellence in innovation is a pervasive trait in the achievements of the 2016 ACOMM winners.”

Competition drawn August 3, 2016. Proudly brought to you by The Monaro Post & Supa Productions Inc.

Be a safety star in Essential Energy poster competition Students are urged to get creative and design an electrical safetyinspired poster for a chance to win a $1,000 donation for their school’s P&C Association as part of an Essential Energy competition for Electricity Safety Week 2016.

Regional manager Southern, Steven Ilitch, said the ‘Be a Safety Star’ school poster competition was open to all regional and rural NSW primary schools registered for the popular state-wide electrical safety awareness program.

“As part of the interactive education program that we run across regional and rural NSW, we are encouraging students to use their imagination and creativity to come up with an original design for promoting an important electrical safety message,” Mr Ilitch said.

“Use artwork, illustrations, words, graphics or poems to share your safety story and help keep everyone safe around electricity in the home, at school and in the wider community.”

Electricity Safety Week is held from 5-9 September 2016 and is presented by Essential Energy, Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy, in partnership with the NSW Department of Education and Communities, to educate students about electrical hazards and how to avoid them.

“As we rely on electricity for nearly all aspects of modern life for food, washing, hygiene and entertainment, it’s of paramount importance that we teach children how to stay safe around it,” Mr Ilitch said.

The poster competition is open to all primary schools within Essential Energy’s network footprint and will run from 8 August until 16 September 2016. Schools can submit their electrical safety posters online, by email or post.

When the World Game came to Cooma When the world game came to Cooma and The Monaro.

The time was when East Cooma Barracks extended down to the East Cooma railway crossing.

When new houses and new streets were being made along the pot-holey and dusty main road to Canberra (Yareen Road) and along Wangie Street on the eastern side of Cooma.

When new houses and streets were being made up the hill and over the hill past Charlie Robinson’s tennis court to the north side of Cooma town.

The time was when English was just one of the many languages in the new parts of Cooma and the camps and new townships appearing in the mountains.

Young men and women and young families came from all around. From cities and towns in Australia and from Europe, before it started to rebuild itself after the war.

When garlic was looked down on in polite society, when sour cream was something that you chucked out and the coffee in the Blue Bird was made from a ‘coffee essence’ bottle.

This was the time when newcomers brought the round ball football, or as Les Murray called it, The world Game, to The Monaro. This was 1952.

This was the time when the older gentlemen of today’s Cooma community were young and strong and agile, when they were full of hope, full of plans, full of future.

They were immortal.

So was born the first soccer competition in our Cooma area, the participating teams being: The Norwegians from Munyang and Guthega, The Tigers with the Admunsen twin brothers and Eddie Dimchik.

The boys from Eaglehawk The ‘Hydro’ fellows were office types and mainly of English origin.

The Dutch, of course, were Holandia, with big Klaas Yeltema, outstanding in more ways than one.

“Roma”, I will give you three guesses to figure out where these blokes come from.

The ‘Wasps’, I think were a mixture, but I think Scotland predominated The Canaries, a team from Berridale/Jindabyne.

Kurt Hopfe and ‘The Black Jacks’ were from Germany with ring ins – Marian Musial from Poland, Frank Zemlicka from Czechoslovakia and a very young Ivars Freimans from Latvia.

The competition started in 1952 and was running in 1953. The outstanding team was the Norwegians who went through the rounds unbeaten and were expected to finish unbeaten, with the Admunsen twins being outstanding in their lineup.

The Black Jacks were performing almost as well with their only loss being against the Men from the Land of the Midnight Sun. The grand final of this first competition was played in Berridale in front of a

very large crowd on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

The game was fiercely contested and was played in a great sporting spirit.

At half time the score was nil nil, in no small measure due to some great goal keeping by the Black Jacks’ keeper, Lou Donald.

The game stayed scoreless right up to the very end when, following a beautiful cross from the right, the ball was put into the Tigers net by a first time kick from that

cross.

So, on that day the champions of the Snowy and Monaro United Nations were the Black Jacks.

On the day when soccer football, the World Game, had arrived, when soccer football came to the Monaro, now already more than 50 years on. Where are all these young men of that beautiful time when The Snowy was so young?

Where are they now?

Bombala was in the mix ,too!

This is a photo that Bombala man, Pat Riley will always cherish - even if there was a certain game he played with this team that he may prefer to forget!

Mr Riley has kindly shared this image of the Cooma United soccer team of 1963, pointing out that there are nine different nationalities represented in the group thanks to the Snowy Mountains Scheme.

The players shown, including Mr Riley on the far right, were a mixed bunch of Germans, Yugoslavians, Croatians, Dutch, Norwegian, Italian, Irish, English and Indonesian people.

Mr Riley brought in an accompanying article

which detailed a game between this Cooma United side and Concordia, where Cooma United presented the opposing team with “two gift goals wrapped up in tinsel and ribbon”.

While the first was a straight forward goal that was let through by the goalkeeper, the second featured an interesting performance from our very own Mr Riley, who sadly kicked the ball into his own goal.

The old Cooma Express article concludes - “it was a glum Cooma United who trooped off at full time after their brush with unkind fate - and fullback Riley was the glummest of all”.

Bombala hosts Sapphire Cup Challenge Bombala Netball hosted the second of three Sapphire Cup challenges on July 24, seeing Bombala, Merimbula and Bega play in a round robin against each other in three age groups.

Bombala’s 9/10 and 11/12 teams played extremely well, with a never say die attitude and displayed great sportsmanship, seeing each of them win one of their two games.

While our Opens team was

unfortunately defeated in both games, they also never gave up and played hard till the end with smiles on their faces.

By all accounts it was a great day. The canteen supplied a fantastic array of food and drinks which saw nobody go hungry.

Thanks to everyone that donated cakes, slices etc, worked in the canteen, cooked the barbecue, coached, umpired or supported our girls; it was

fantastic to see such a great turnout.

This will be the last time our courts will be used before their upgrade. We will be running a Mixed Twilight Comp during Term 4 this year starting in October.

Everyone from aged 5 to 100, both boys and girls, are welcome to play. This will be a great opportunity to use our new courts so keep an eye out for when we start calling for names.

Teams from Bombala, Bega and Merimbula played in the Sapphire Cup in Bombala on July 24.

Oscar head-hunted to play college football in USA Cooma soccer player Oscar Thomas has been scouted to play for a college in Garden City, Kansas.

The team is top of the table in the Kansas State League Premier League competition, making it a good opportunity for the young athlete.

Oscar has grown up playing soccer in Cooma for St Pats and Cooma Public School before he started playing for the Tigers in year 7.

He was awarded Junior Club Person of the Year for Cooma FC in 2012 and has played Premier League in the U/18 division.

He has also coached a number of junior school teams over the years with his Coaching Grass Roots Accreditation, including Cooma North Under 6’s, Under 9’s and

Under 7’s.

Oscar was selected to trial for a scouting agency in June 2015 and was one of just 60 athletes selected for interview out of 400 before being connected with the college team.

and administration.

“I’m excited. I’m signed for play for two years. They organised for me to come over, I just had to say yes,” he said.

Oscar will be leaving for America

After finishing high school last year, Oscar is also excited about the opportunity to play soccer study abroad, where he will be undertaking a degree in business

this Saturday and will return to Australia for Christmas before heading back to play out his two year contract.

End of a great season from the junior Heelers Louise Wright Coaches Round-up for 2016 Well that’s the 2016 season done and dusted and what amazing season the Blue Heeler Under 7s have had!! What a great way to finish with a mini carnival in Tathra which saw this little team of boys play three hard games.

Each little player stepped up and showed what they have to offer each and every time. It’s a real shame that the season is over because the boys are really getting it together and playing like a real little team. I would like to thank Joey, Cody, Caleb, Connor, Blake, Torin, Mitchell, Ashton and Henry for showing up each week and playing with such guts and giving it their all! I hope you all come back next year where we can only get better and stronger! Well done.

Rollie Skellern Coaches Round-up It was a huge day for the Under 8s on Saturday at the Tathra Carnival. With three games ahead of them and the last round of the season, the under 8s left nothing in their fuel tanks. Throughout the day there wasn’t one player on the field that didn’t participate and make an impact.

Zara Brotherton and Keira Chamberlain controlled the play, the ball area as well as taking the ball up throughout the whole three games. Jake brown and Freddie Merritt gained valuable metres all day with their brute strength. Ruby Smith and Gracie Brownlie also showed their class with some great hit ups and some awesome solo trys. Tanner Hurley who has had an outstanding first year of footy showed off her fancy foot work and try saving defence and managed to bag a hat trick try for the day. Josh Tellis defended all day while Max Power showed his never say die runs scoring a great individual try. Ari Sten once again showed us why he is the “wrecking ball”” with bone crunching tackles all day and rewarded with a couple of really good trys. This week’s milo man of the match goes to a quiet young fella who saved his best game for last. The young man made some great hit ups all day and showed some fast pace and was very unlucky not to bag a try only falling short inches off the try line. Well done Liam Strickland. Big thank you to Ben Brotherton for your help on game days and a big thank you to all parents who travelled each weekend to bring their kids to the games so I had a job to do. Bring on 2017.

Drew Manning Coaches Round-up As always the Under 9s Blue Heelers stepped up on Saturday and gave a truly spectacular performance for the last game of the year. It is just unbelievable how this little team has managed to improve each week and just get better and better. It’s just not possible in this group of players to pick outstanding players each week as everyone continues to push to get better. At the Tathra Mini Carnival on the weekend when matched against the top side Narooma they really showed the raw talent they have and stayed strong throughout the game. Narooma have some very big, fast and well drilled players but it was great to see that the Blue Heelers make their tackles and made sure that Narooma didn’t walk all over them. A great way to finish the season. It is with this in mind that I take this opportunity to thank all the parents and friends of the Under 9s for making the effort each week to get to training and to the games.

Also a special thanks to Des Peisley for his huge effort and assistance with this mighty group of Under 9s this year.

Emma Sullivan Coaches Round-up Our ever improving Bombala Pink heelers competed in their last game for 2016 against Eden. The girls were coming off a bye and consequently took a long time to work themselves into the game. Their timings were a little out which meant their attack was stilted at times and many tags were missed.

Eden have a very experienced

team and took advantage of everything that came their way.

The score line blew out in the end, but it certainly wasn’t a reflection of the effort the Bombala girls put in. This team has improved out of sight this year, always willing to listen to feedback to improve their game. Their enthusiasm, commitment and sportsmanship is impressive and means they will continue to trouble many of the other teams in 2017.

It has been an absolute pleasure to be their coach for the year. Well done girls, we are all so proud of your efforts.

Damien Smith Coaches Round-up The Under 12s were warmed up ready for a hard game to finish the season but it just didn’t work out this week. The

Eden under 12s have a really strong forward pack and some boys that are at least a head high taller than most of the Blue Heelers. The Heelers didn’t let this put them off they put up a hard fight with the end score being 30 to 20 with Eden taking the win although it definitely was not an easy win for them.

The under 12s held on till the end. There were some really solid runs and the team seemed to be working well together to make some hard tackles. Both Jacks, Jack Ventry and Jack Sullivan, score trys and played really solid games. This is also a team that seems to be building momentum at the wrong end of the season they needed this strength at the start of the year. Well done team hope to see you next year.

Sam Sten Coaches Round-up I’d like to start by saying how proud I am of each and every boy who played in the U14’s this year. At the commencement of the season we were greeted with 17 super keen and eager young guys ready to give it a crack many of them never having played competition football before.

They listened and followed instructions, were supportive of one another and were a very “coachable” team and an all-round awesome group of boys.

They have grown in confidence, skills and in their knowledge of the game structure. A force to be reckoned with in 2017!!!

Now to this weeks game. Firstly, congratulations to the boys for a good win against Tathra last week. Points for that game were: 3: Bryson Phillips-Jones 2: Rowan Keavey 1: Blake Baldwin.

This week the boys played the Eden Tigers in Eden. The Tigers were first to put points on the board, shortly followed

by Blake Baldwin with a powerful backline run. More tries were scored by Reagan Hurley and a lovely try to Russel Jamieson after the backs spread the ball wide. Baidon Sten converted two from four attemps.

The boys narrowly lost 22-20.

Points this week went to: 3: Blake Baldwin for his great defence and huge runs. 2: Reagan Hurley for his outstanding defence and great infield direction and leadership 1: Bryson Phillips Jones for his phenomenal line breaks and defence.

Thanks to all the boys for a wonderful season. Special thanks to Keiran for volunteering to help coach. Couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks to all the strappers, trainers, water boys for your help. Also, to all the parents who help with the washing of jumpers and drink bottles.

Thanks for a great season. Looking forward to seeing what these guys can achieve next year!

Presentations will be held at the Bombala RSL Club on September 17.

Red Devils U14s tireless effort Cooma U16 suffers first

After a long lay off the Red devil’s under 14’s took to the field against Marist.

The boy’ had a few late withdrawals, but were keen to play. The game started quite physically with both teams running hard and putting on some hits in defence. Marist was first to score, catching Cooma out on the edge of the ruck, this stirred up the boys and they retaliated with a great run-away try to Eddy Clarke.

The desire and effort from Cooma was very evident with Will Cahill just missing out on a few intercepts. With the bulk of possession Marist led at halftime 19-5.

The second half started like the first - plenty of hard rugby being played by both teams.

The improvement in technique from the Cooma boys was very encouraging even without three of their main forwards.

Col Kingston was in everything

charging onto the ball and tackling his heart out. Cody Gould played a solid game on the wing, and James McGufficke was a willing runner with the ball.

It was a tireless effort from the boys and just a few late tries by Marist saw the score finish at 38-5.

I saw today a side that with a bit more game time can become very good Rugby team. Points 3 Eddy Clarke, 2 Colin Kingston and 1 Will Cahill.

defeat of the season Cooma Red Devils U16 took to the field on Saturday to take on Marist.

Marist started strongly and put Cooma on the back foot early in the match. It wasn’t long before Marist put some points on the board.

Cooma tried to rally but unfortunately it was all Marist in the first half 15-0.

Cooma came out firing but again Marist dominated the play and put a quick couple of tries on the board.

Cooma rallied when James Cahill dove over the line.

The conversion was unsuccessful.

Again Marist hit back and put some points on the board.

In the dying minutes of the match Bill Zammit scored for Cooma.

James Cahill was successful with the conversion. Final score Marist 39 Cooma 12.

3 points Jack Reid, 2 points Lachie Inskip, 1 point Wylie Vernon.

Pig dog award Bill Zammit.

This week the boys play at home so come on down and support them.

Adaminaby secure place in State Triples Championships In July players from Adaminaby and Cooma travelled to Merimbula to contest the mixed pairs, ladies open pairs, senior pairs and triples in the Regional Play-Offs.

On Sunday July 17, husband and wife team of Nicole Barnes and John Barnes (Adaminaby/Cooma) played in the mixed pairs. The games consisted of two sets play of five ends each set. In their first game they went down to a strong

Narooma team. The afternoon game was a much closer game against Tura Beach going down three shots. Great game.

Monday July 18, Aylene Madden and Lynette McMahon (Adaminaby) were up against Merimbula-Imlay in the open women’s pairs. This was a very close match throughout with the score equal on the last end. An extra end was required to determine the winner, this resulted

in some excellent bowls from both teams with Merimbula-Imlay picking up four shots to win the game.

Merimbula-Imlay was successful in the final against Tuross Heads.

Dawn Russell and Olga Jebbink (Cooma) contested the senior pairs final on the Monday afternoon against Tura Beach. The game was tightly contested with the lead changing several times throughout the game. Tura Beach had a six

shot lead with only one end left to play, Cooma only able to pick up two shots. Tura Beach go through to the State Championships.

Tuesday July 19, Glenda Daal, Aylene Madden and Lynette McMahon (Adaminaby) played in the ladies triples. Their first game was against Eden, which Adaminaby won comfortably and progressed to the finals.

In the final Adaminaby played

Tuross Head with some great bowls played by both teams. Adaminaby were totally focused throughout the game, resulting in an excellent win and a berth in the Ladies Triples State Championship, which will be held in October. Congratulations to Glenda, Aylene and Lynette.

Good luck to Adaminaby and Cooma who will be at the Shoalhaven on August 15 to 18 to play in the State Pennants Playoffs.

New bowling body created Big Saturday at Cooma Numbers for Wednesday bowls were boosted by a group of ladies from Adaminaby, joining with a similar group of Cooma ladies to sneak in a bit off practice prior to teams from each Club going to Pennant Playoffs, Adaminaby in Grade One at Nowra and Cooma in Grade Four at Culburra this month. We wish them all every success.

Adaminaby commence their matches on 15th v Harbord in morning and Taren Point in the afternoon then against Lake Cathie and Charlestown on 16th.

A second draw for further matches will follow.

Cooma commence their campaign with a morning match against Asquith and afternoon against The Rules (Wagga) on 16th followed by a morning match against Lake Conjola. A second draw for further matches will follow.

On the local scene Maureen D’Amico, Mary Obermaier, Leonie Snell and Margherita Zasso were caught on five for five ends by Glenda Daal, Sue Piper, Tracie Sanders and Lyn McMahon but recovered to salvage a 21/17 win.

Judy Locker and Mary Murphy teamed up with Adaminaby’s Nicola McMahon and Luba Waters to play Dawn Russell, Evelyn Hamilton, Olga Jebbink and Cheryl Meillon. At 11/11 it was up for grabs, with Luba’s team doing the grabbing 20/14.

Rae Blyton was also a welcome visitor from Nimmitabel who teamed up with Geoff Venables against Mary Phillips and Mike Mannile.

Rae and Geoff dominated the early ends then faltered, before going on to win 27/20. Mary Boller, Mick Mayhew and Hazel Walker ran into a red hot trio in Max Butler, Peter Harris and Renate Winckel.

Mary, Mick and Hazel were only allowed to win five ends and it developed in to a battle to reach double figures. They just failed to make it.

Saturday’s social bowls produced some mixed results with two teams failing to make double figures. Such is the unpredictability of the game.

Wayne Flynn, Evelyn Hamilton and Geoff Venables were ruthless in their demolition of Darren

Collins, Renate Winckel and Brian Seears, who just failed to make double figures.

Ron Wainwright returned to the green as swinging lead for Mary Murphy and John Vincent and for Mick Mayhew and Mario Frezza. Ron, Mick and Mario spent some time on four, then on six and eventually reached nine, whilst the opposition reached 20.

Maureen D’Amico, Tony Gray and Graham Vale had a handy 11/7 lead after 11 ends against Mary Phillips, Olga Jebbink and Mike Mannile. This latter team fared much better in the run home and trailed by just two shots with one end to play but dropped three shots for Maureen, Tony and Graham to win 22/17.

A bit of confusion on the part of your correspondent for the match Dawn Russell, Ken Rees and Bob Douglass v Max Butler, Mary Obermaier and Bob Lahy. The back of the card shows Bob Douglass on 20 shots, Bob Lahy, 17.

The front it’s reversed 17 to Douglass and 20 to Lahy. However all enjoyed the game.

At the special meeting at Adaminaby on Saturday the wheels were put in motion to form a new body to organise and control competition bowls in the area following the withdrawal from affiliation with NSW Bowling Association of two Clubs and a further one later.

The name of the new body will be, Snowy Mountains Bowling Association. The Committee to be as follows; President, Vice President, Secretary/ Treasurer, and two members from each Club.

These to be elected and/or nominated at the next meeting which is set down for 4/9/2016 at Adaminaby.

Registration Forms for membership (which is essential for players wishing to play in competitions) are available at clubs and should be completed and returned before September 4. The cost for the first year is free.

A report on the meeting is on the notice board for the information of Cooma members.

Lady Tigers win again!

It was another winning game on Sunday for the Cooma Lady Tigers who took on ANU at Nijong Oval.

The posession was 50/50 in the first half with some good defence from Candice Geach, Stacey Kelly, Tina Baker and Kerry Baines managing to keep the ANU team scoreless.

After plenty of back and forth ball Libby Goggin was first to tick up points, 25 minutes into the game.

1-0. Alicia Rampal was keeping up the pressure on the ANU keeper with a trio of shots at goal but all just shy of the net.

Alicia’s had work paved the way for another shot at goal by Libby Goggin who put Cooma up for a 2 point lead right before half time.

2-0.

After a big talk in the sheds Cooma came out ready to play hard.

It was only 10 minutes

into the game when Libby Goggin scored a hattrick and put Cooma 3-0 in front.

Although it didn’t seem like it would be enough points to secure a win against a very hungry ANU team.

The offside rule set Cooma back on a few occasions giving ANU plenty of action in their half but keeper Sam DeRuijter was her usual cool self and without hesitation kept ANU at bay.

A corner kick was Cooma’s next opportunity to score when a perfectly placed ball from Miruna Moruz found the head of Emily Perkin to seal the deal for Cooma at 4-0.

Next week Cooma Lady Tigers take on Bridabella at Nijong Oval at 10am.

Bridabella are now second place on the ladder and look to be the Lady Tigers toughest competition.

One game to minor premiership Cooma made the big road trip to play the Goulburn Stags who are sitting bottom of the table with only one win to their name.

A win away from home was Cooma’s only option as the minor premiership looms large.

Cooma dominated the game from the start and were in control on a very tough pitch.

A slight change in defence with Lance Redmond stepping in for skiing champion Serdan Bircan at the back was very strong and led the team’s dominance from the back.

Goulburn were very defensive and it took Cooma a little longer than usual to break the defence down but when it came it was Cam Mackintosh who bagged another goal for the season taking his total to 20 goals and leading the competition.

Cooma went into the break with the one goal advantage and hadn’t found their feet yet. The challenge was set for an early second half goal and it was accepted by Captain Iain Eliott to put Cooma in a comfortable position.

Goulburn weren’t putting up much of a fight by this stage and Zac Schoon took full advantage to slot home Cooma’s third and final. Full time - Goulburn 0 - 3 Cooma FC. Cooma are on top of the table and play their last game before finals this Saturday at 1pm. With a win they will clinch the minor premiership. A big crowd to cheer on the boys would be much appreciated. The boys have put in a massive season so far and would love you to come and see them become minor premiers at our home ground.

Bombala in major semi against Bega

On Sunday August 7, both the Bombala High Heelers and Bombala Blue Heelers Reserve Grade Team made the journey down to Moruya for the major semi-final where they would both play Bega teams.

The High Heelers From the kick off the High Heelers seemed on the back foot, forced to defend back to back sets as the relentless attack from the Bega chicks was dominating

field possession.

Outstanding tagging from Georgie Clarke, Lucy Sellers and Patrice Clear helped to keep the Bega girls from crossing early and up the middle Emma Sullivan was extremely safe in defence making incredible tags to shut down the Bega attack.

Keiarna Rodwell was instrumental with her kicking game aiming to kick early to try to get the girls out of their own half.

However it was the Bega chicks turned the ball back inside, catching the Heelers out on their feet leading to a try in close to the sticks.

A desperate dive from captain Patrice Clear, saw her hit the ground hard earning herself an elbow injury forcing her from the field. The girls had to lift hard if they were going to do this without their fearless captain. From the kick off again it would seem the Chicks had the momentum in their favour and whilst the High Heelers began to see more ball it was again the Chicks who scored again out wider this time. With the score a 10-0 at half time, the Heelers found themselves in unfamiliar territory but the focus and dedication to not lay down was evident in half time chats and the return of their captain to the field proved a great moral boost.

From the kick off in the second half the Heelers game had taken a swift turn around. The Heelers starting to play confident footy, showing urgency in defence to get up fast and shut the attacking Bega players down early. Consequently the Heelers dominated field possession and with a backline play set up by Abbey Kimber eventually spreading the ball wide to the winger Kayley Keavey, the Heelers nabbed their first points.

With the conversion attempt waved away the Heelers trailed 10-4.

A controversial charge down attempt by the Bega team saw Keiarna Rodwell hit the deck hard causing a shoulder dislocation and a trip to the hospital.

This saw the Bega player sent to the bin for 10. Capitalising on Bega playing one down, the girls spread the ball wide and Tash Stewart eventually strolled over for the Heelers second try, evening up the tries to two each. However with another very honest attempt from out wide

the conversion again waved away and the score remained 8-10 in Bega’s favour which would be the eventual scoreline.

The High Heelers dug deep but ran out of time to gain further points and now look to next week’s elimination final round against the Narooma Ladies League tag team to play for a spot in the Grand Final.

Players Player went to Patrice Clear, 3 points was shared between Tash Stewart, Lucy Sellers and Abbey Kimber, 2 points went to Georgie Clarke and 1 point went to Keiarna Rodwell.

Reserve Grade Bombala Reserve grade had the task of taking on the top of the ladder Bega Roosters who were sporting a very tough line up. Within the first 10 minutes it was Bega who found the try line first. However the injection of Clay Clear saw him hit back for the Heelers, evening the scores up to 6-6.

The rest of the half proved a tough contest between the teams with outstanding defence from Alex Rosten in at fullback also with extremely safe hands in retrieving the ball from kicks. Raymond Kading was solid in defence as was James Coates.

Ben Mooney and Mick Sullivan both looked dangerous with the ball in their hands, unlucky not to break away from defenders on numerous occasions.

Chris Halligan was instrumental with his solid hit ups gaining great metres for his team as was Joel Cherry.

Kitt Bryce made a solid contribution from the wing with solid defence and fantastic support play in attack. With the scores all locked up at half time 6-6, Bombala was on track to cause an upset win.

The first 10 minutes of the second half started off similarly to the first half, tough defence from both teams. Clay Clear

was unlucky not to score his second as he was held up over the line.

Clay Stewart continued to be instrumental in the organisation of the team and his classy ball skills were evident as he sent a precision cut out ball out wide hitting Craig Bottom on the chest, Craig gained good metres however the Bega players eventually shut it down.

Bega then capitalised on momentum and broke open the Bombala defensive line numerous times, running in four quick tries before full time, taking the final score to 28-6.

Players player went to Alex Rosten, 3 points went to Clay Clear, 2 points went to Chris Halligan and 1 point went to James Coates.

The Bombala Reserve Grade team will now also play in the elimination final next weekend where they will again take on the Moruya Sharks Reserve Grade team whom they beat only the weekend before.

The Bombala & District Rugby League Football Club would like to thank all of the Bombala supporters who travelled that long distance just to support and cheer on their home sides.

Stallions to take on Bega in final U18s end frustrating year The Cooma Stallions have edged their way through to the next round of the Group 16 semifinals after a tough, grinding 14-12 victory over Merimbula-Pambula.

The Stallions started well opening the scoring at around the five-minute mark but drifted away from their game plan and started to play catch up footy for the remainder of the half.

“We played like we were two points down with a minute to go and opened up in the middle and gave away an easy try,” Stallions captain coach Todd Williams said.

The Stallions were down 12-8 at the break and half time could not have come at a better time for Williams to motivate his troops.

“I told them to relax and get back to what we’ve been doing at training and emphasised defence and tightening up.

The try in the first half came through the middle which was disappointing considering the effort at training.”

The Stallions came out firing in the second half with their most consistent defensive effort of the year.

However, there were some lapses in attack, playing one out footy and trying to look for the try instead of setting up for other options.

“The boys didn’t want to let each other down. Our first up contact was a lot better this week which really puts their 12 points in perspective.

The Stallions kept MerimbulaPambula scoreless for the second half after posting the only try for the stanza managed to sneak home with a two-point lead.

The victory means the Stallions will travel to Narooma to play

Bega this weekend who are coming off a massive 50-4 drubbing at the hands of Moruya.

Bega and Cooma are one win apiece but Williams said his team has developed a long way since last taking on the roosters.

“Bega are coming off a solid loss and will be looking to bounce back. This week we have to focus on turning up and having a positive mindset from the get go and stick to our game plan for the whole 80 minutes.

“We’ve worked a fair bit on a few thigns since Bega and smartened our game up.

Hopefully that helps.”

Williams added that all the first grade boys are thinking of young Stumpy in the U/18s, who broke his femur over the weekend saying he hopes he is on the mend.

The boys travelled to Eden on Saturday 6th August to play Moruya in the Semi Finals.

With only 13 players available for the semi it was a gutsy effort by the boys to keep Moruya scoreless for the first 15 minutes.

The boys continued to keep trying throughout the first half however having no subs Moruya were able to take full advantage by throwing the ball around which resulted in points for them.

In the second half unfortunately the game came to an early halt due to a serious injury to one of our players.

The Under 18’s wish our injured

player a speedy recovery. The game was called off and our boys went down 30 to nil.

I would like to commend the Under 18’s on putting in a strong effort throughout the year.

It was frustrating for the boys having long periods of no games and struggling to have a full complement of players each week. To the Under 18’s credit they kept at it and pushed forward giving their best. I would like to wish the boys all the best with their footy in the future.
