Feds cut more funding for community services The Snowy River Welfare Committee has received a blow to their ongoing operations, with the Department of Social Services (DSS) informing them of the cessation of their federal funding. The committee, which has been in operation for thirty years, provides one-off assistance on a case-by-case basis for locals and visitors facing financial struggle. Committee Chairperson, Bruce Hodges OAM, explained that the committee has one month of federal funding remaining. “They’ve (DSS) given us an allocation for next month but told us that the minister has closed down the funding,” he said. The decision by the DSS means that the

committee will have to rely on liaising with community organisations, such as the Op Shop and St Vincent de Paul’s, in an attempt to meet the shortfall. Mr Hodges said that the loss of federal funding would have a noticeable impact of the committee’s ability to assist families and individuals facing financial difficulty in the Snowy Mountains area. “That’s going to impact a lot of people. We always find people in need that need the help,” he said. He expressed disappointment with the decision, arguing out that the committee represents a highly efficient operation. “The committee have been running this

now for 30 years and haven’t charged any administration costs at all.” In the past, the committee has provided assistance to seasonal workers who have been unable to find employment in the area. “We started off with young ones that were coming down here looking for work. They’d have no accommodation and food. Some of them we have had to assist with getting back to Sydney for family support, others we’ve helped with electricity bills or bonds,” he said. “We don’t have to give names and addresses, people can remain anonymous.” Other cases have involved assisting local school children with the costs associated with their education, as well as alleviating the pressure imposed by medical costs. “There was a lot of

embarrassment with one of the children from one of the schools couldn’t afford to go on a school trip,” Mr Hodges explained. Asked how the committee was reacting to the decision, Mr Hodges likened the situation to other community organisations facing a similar scenario. “It’s a bit the same as some of the staff at the neighbourhood centre. They’re shedding a few tears, feel like they’ve had the mat pulled out from under them. I haven’t started shedding tears yet,” he said. The Monaro Post contacted the Member for Eden-Monaro, Peter Hendy, for comment on the decision to withdraw federal funding from the Snowy River Welfare Committee. No comment was forthcoming at the time of print.

Fire services kept busy On Wednesday last week at 7.30pm the NSW Fire and Rescue team and the Jindabyne Hazmat together secured a 22ft cabin cruiser that had sunk at Eucumbene Cove. The boat was secured before fuel could spill into the lake. At 10.30pm on Friday night a car fire at Platypus Lodge forced Police and the NSWF&R to attend the scene in order to successfully extinguish the blaze. On Saturday night the NSWF&R attended the Cooma Ex-Services Club after heavy rain set off alarms in the roof. Cooma Fire Brigade was called to

a house fire in Soho Street at 5am on Wednesday morning. The house was well alight when they arrived. They located four people outside the house and were able to locate a fifth person, plus some animals. The fire in the roof was burning fiercely and firefighters were forced to continue to fight the fire from outside. It took about an hour to bring the fire under control, but extensive damage was caused to the roof, which collapsed. The cause of the fire is believed to be accidental.

Bittersweet vibe at Jindabyne centre opening There was a bittersweet vibe to the opening of the newly refurbished Snowy Mountains Neighbourhood Centre on Wednesday, with fears that the centre is facing imminent closure following the cessation of federal funding. The refurbishments, which included the installation of an automated door, a new open-plan layout and updated computer technology, were made possible by a state government Community Building Partnership grant worth $40,220. The centre hosts community groups such as the Jindabyne French Language Group and the Snowy River Youth Council, but is most busy in winter when it offers free Wi-Fi and welfare services to seasonal workers. Longtime Neighbourhood Centre Committee Member Neen Pendergast was in attendance for the opening of the refurbished centre, and said she was impressed with the work that had taken place “Well it’s all open, there’s much more room. It’s more workable, there’s a little room there for privacy if people want to have a bit of privacy and the whole place has opened up. It’s all very good,” she said. However, Mrs Pendergast, who is a former Snowy River Shire Councillor, expressed her dismay at the loss of the funding, which means the centre will be without a supervisor – a role essential for the continuation of existing services. “We run on the smell of an oily rag anyway, because we had one supervisor and everything else was done by volunteers, and we’ll still do that but we can’t run without one,” she said. Annual funding worth $20,000 from the Department of Social Services was not renewed this year, following an unsuccessful grant application, in what would appear to be a familiar theme arising from federal government budget cuts and program restructuring. Other community initiatives, such as the Snowy Mountains welfare Committee have also had their funding removed (see separate story). Fellow committee member Gunther Propst said that he was “very angry” at the number of cuts being made to local programs. “The new centre looks great, they did a marvelous job, but within the next five weeks we will have no funding. I don’t know what to do. Federal and state cuts effect the community very much…We have projects, really good projects, they should keep it going, they should keep it funded,” Mr Propst said. It is not clear where an alternative source of funding may come from, with Ms Pendergast dismissing community fundraising as an insufficient measure and state and local government funding seemingly out of the question. Snowy River Shire Council has called on the State and Federal Governments to ensure that the centre does not close before the commencement of winter, however Mayor John Cahill does not believe that Council has the funds available to contribute. “Well, it runs out, the $20,000 that we received from the DSS runs out in two months time we’ve made representations as well as many members of the community to our local federal member and from the point of view of the shire, at this stage, we’ve had no reply. So we just assume that it won’t be funded and that it will close,” Snowy River Shire Council Mayor John Cahill explained. “We’ll endeavour to find funding wherever we can. At this point in time there’s no obvious place to seek further funding so we’ve made representations to

the State Government but I think they feel that since the Federal Government has withdrawn they’re not willing to pick it up, maybe John will have something to say about that today,” Mayor Cahill said, speaking before Mr Barilaro’s arrival. The Member for Monaro did not outline any clear solutions to the funding problem in his address to the crowd of Neighbourhood Centre supporters and members of local government, but did commit to pursuing the matter further with his federal counterparts. “I know that this is an important service for the region,” he said. “(I am) getting a clearer picture of what’s happened there and how the funding, how the neighbourhood centre’s missed out on funding, it’s part of the federal government approach to maybe looking at larger providers of services in regional and rural centres. I think they’ve missed the boat here, this service is of importance to the Snowy Mountains region… “My job is to work firstly to see if we can convince the feds that it was a wrong move, I’ll work with the federal member to go and fight for additional funding but I’m also going to go and look at where the state can play a role, that’ll be my job.” In a sign of the increasing friction between the State and Federal governments Mr Barilaro said that he ‘can’t make promises’ regarding a state government solution as a similar solution would need to be applied state-wide to compensate for federal cuts to similar community programs. The Monaro Post contacted the office of Member for Eden-Monaro, Peter Hendy, for comment on the future of the Snowy Mountains Neighbourhood Centre but no reply was forthcoming at the time of going to print.

Mature Mob goes from truffles to tractors From tractors to truffles, coupled with working dogs, tasty treats and a “gourmet” lunch, Mature Mobbers had a great day exploring the Bunyan and Bredbo Region on Thursday February 5. First stop was Homeleigh in Bunyan where Andy Robinson greeted the Mob and introduced the world renowned collection of the many (134 to be precise!) and varied tractors of all sorts and sizes. Owner Bill Shanley was in Queensland – buying more tractors! But that did not deter folk from investigating, reminiscing and learning. The local CWA ladies provided a “gourmet” lunch at the Bredbo Community Hall and this was well appreciated by all! After-lunch guest speaker Will Goggin, long-time Bredbo resident, presented a most interesting talk on his working dogs, the breeds and training processes. Outside folk were introduced to a few of his 16 dogs and six-week old pups. This proved a real treat – cuddling the pups and watching Will work his dogs! Finale was a visit to Macenmist Truffiere. Barbara

and Richard Hill welcomed the Mob and after a most informative and interesting presentation on truffle growing and introducing their Border Collies and Fahren (a Lagotto Romagnolo) the truffle dog who actively seeks the black truffle aroma, folk enjoyed truffle icecream, truffle cheese cake and biscotti, as well as sangria - all made on the property. A short walk in the oak and hazelnut plantation and it was time to board the coach to return to Cooma! The next Mature Mob outing on Thursday April 2 - Boco Rock Wind Farm & Experience/Explore Delegate Contact Heather (6454 4305) for bookings. Mature Mob is an Initiative of the Anglican Parish of Cooma.

Member for Monaro John Barilaro is encouraging local Aboriginal artists and arts organisations to apply for NSW Government funding to support local arts projects. Mr Barilaro said the Aboriginal Regional Arts Fund encourages Aboriginal people to creatively explore and express their cultural identities through artistic practice. “This program will encourage the community to engage and promote regional Aboriginal artistic talent,” Mr Barilaro said. “Aboriginal artists and organisations with projects starting after July 1 are eligible to apply. “Any funding assistance for our talented local artists is welcome and will no doubt make a real difference to those who live and work in our community. “The NSW Aboriginal Regional Arts Fund offers up to $3,000 for professional artists and up to $15,000 for organisations. Applications close March 9.” Deputy Premier and Minister for the Arts Troy Grant said government funding for Aboriginal arts projects

makes a real difference to artists and arts organisations living and working in regional NSW communities. “Last year more than $117,000 of NSW Government funding supported 12 Aboriginal arts projects across the State - from circus skills workshops for young people in Albury and researching Aboriginal carved trees in the Western Plains Cultural Centre collection, to basket weaving workshops on the Central Coast,” Mr Grant said. The Aboriginal Regional Arts Fund supports projects that: · Enable Aboriginal communities in regional NSW to explore and express their cultural identities; · Engage and promote regional Aboriginal artists, arts and culture in NSW; · Encourage people to engage with Aboriginal arts and cultures; · Build the capacity and sustainability of Aboriginal arts organisations in regional NSW; and · Increase professional and skills development opportunities for Aboriginal artists living in regional NSW.

Get onboard 10th Lake Nigerian engineers visit Cooma Jindabyne Flowing Festival The Lake Jindabyne Flowing Festival will celebrate its 10th Anniversary with the biggest event yet with more paddlers, more entertainment, more market stalls and more fun for the whole family. The Flowing Festival is now one of the biggest events on the summer high country calendar, and continues to grow each year attracting teams from community, corporate, school and is a major drawcard for sports teams from through NSW and ACT. Dragon Boat teams come together to paddle over a sprint 200 metre course on Lake Jindabyne, and the Flowing Festival takes over Banjo Paterson Park for the weekend, with market stalls, carnival rides, food and drink stalls. Perisher are again major sponsors, and they also compete as corporate crews, with Snowy Hydro also returning as sponsors for the schools junior division and High Country Fitness lifting the challenge with the onland challenges for community and corporate teams between dragon boat heats. This year the Jindabyne Bowling and Sports Club is sponsoring the Twilight concert Saturday night. The sponsorship is a major part of the event, and the Lake Jindabyne Snow Dragons put a high value on the help from local organisations, who have been with the Festival for the past seven years. Many of the community teams come from places such as Gidgillys, Lakewood and Thredbo. There is a fancy dress competition for all the community crews, and past winners have paddlers dressed as animals, jungle tribes, Stigs and BraBoyz.

There are cash prizes for the fancy dress, and handsome trophies and medals for winners on the water. This year the Festival really encouraged regional teams to take on the challenge with team Bredbo competing for the first time. Community teams have their own training times on Saturday, when they can learn from expert paddlers, coaches and sweeps. On Sunday the crew of 20 climb into the dragon boats, with sweeps and drummers provided by the organisers. School teams competition is a regular event - the Snowy Hydro Junior Challenge Trophy is a hotly-contested series of races on Sunday, and teachers and parents get to compete as well. Snowy Hydro kindly sponsors student entry, this years event will see both junior and senior teams from Monaro High, St Patricks, Jindabyne Central and Snowy Mountains Grammar school compete on Lake Jindabyne. The Mountain Challenge brings together the snow resorts of Perisher, Thredbo and Charlotte Pass with Charlottes pass defending their trophy. The Sports Teams categories attract crews from Canberra, the South and western NSW Clubs, Illawarra, Albury and the local Snow Dragons are training hard to be up there on the podium. Entries close today for the Community Teams to paddle in the 10th Lake Jindabyne Dragon Boat Challenge, to be held February 14-15. Checkout our website www.flowingfestival.com.au more information.

Radar speed sign moves to Jindabyne In December 2014, Snowy River Shire Council took delivery of a radar speed sign that displays the speed that a vehicle is travelling for the purpose of promoting road safety in the Snowy River Shire LGA from the NSW Roads and Maritime Service (RMS). The sign has been located in Berridale for the past two months and will now be moved to locations around Jindabyne. As the sign is portable it can be moved to create driver awareness at locations where speed may be high on local and main roads, at 40km/h school zones and at roadwork sites. It also acts as a “traffic calming device� as it tends to slow down speeding vehicles. The sign will be moved to other locations throughout the

Shire on a regular basis and the data collected will assist in determining where the sign can be located most effectively. Further details of the radar speed sign are:1. The speed sign will not be used for speed enforcement or for the issuing of speeding fines. 2. If the detected speed is at or below the speed limit, a comment such as “Thank You� may be provided, if above the speed limit a comment such as “Slow Down� may be provided. When the detected speed is high, the display flashes. This is a joint road safety initiative of Snowy River Shire Council and NSW Roads and Maritime Services (RMS).

Council’s Green Team Initiative Council’s Green Team has made another financial contribution to ensure Council continues to achieve energy savings and become environmentally sustainable. The Green Team’s solar panel installation project has commenced with the installation of panels on four Council properties in Berridale and Jindabyne. The project was recommended by the Green Team in August 2014 to Council who approved it and the sites chosen for their high energy use. The panels will be installed at the Jindabyne Pool, Berridale Depot, Council’s Berridale Office and the Sewerage Treatment Plant in Berridale. Part of the cost of the 15-30kW solar panels will come from Green Team funds, accumulated from energy savings achieved in previous years and the new installations are expected to make further substantial savings to Council's electricity bills.

Fine authentic flavours at Cooma Thai Fine dining on authentic cuisine is a delight at Cooma Thai, at the Cooma Motor Lodge. Choefa Messerer is an experienced chef, who brings that experience and her authentic recipes to the restaurant. Choefa has previously run restaurants in Bangkok, but now, a resident of Cooma, she has brought her unique flavours to Cooma Thai. Utilising the pleasant surrounds of the Cooma Motor Lodge restaurant, Cooma Thai offers an enjoyable dining experience seven nights per week and also has a takeaway service available. Her restaurant offers more than 40 different meals, from the traditional soups, Tom Yum and Tom Kha, to a variety of different curries with a variety of meats to choose from. With 10 starters to choose from, including the mixed entrée, diners, can tantalise their tastebuds. Choefa’s curries range from the mild Chuu Chee to the very hot Jungle Curry. A favourite, Massaman Curry, has Choefa’s personal touch added. But the selection has more than curries, with barbecue beef, chicken or pork also a delicious possibility. Thai beef and Fisherman Salads are available, as is a dish for the beer lover, the Moo Nam-Tok, sliced barbecue pork mixed with spicy dressing and herbs. Choefe also offers a good range of rice and noodle dishes, including Pad Thai and Pad CU. Prices at Cooma Thai range from $9 for an entrée to $16.90 to $24.90 for a main course. While Cooma Thai specialises in Thai food, the restaurant also has an Australian menu. Children’s and banquet menus are available as well. Cooma Thai and Cooma Motor Lodge have a special competition operating at present, which includes a meal voucher and a bottle of wine. For details on how to enter, see page 17. Pictured, Choefa Messerer preparing a stir fry in the Cooma Thai kitchens. Claudia serves tables with a smile at Cooma Thai.

This project will add to the four sites that have had solar panels installed in the past. The other sites are Jindabyne Oval Amenities Block, Leesville Depot, Berridale Depot and Jindabyne Landfill. Plans are also underway for solar panels to be installed at the Snowy River Hostel in the future. Grant Funding Success We thank our Member for Monaro, John Barilaro MP for attending the public announcement of the successful grant funding application for the Snowy River Holiday Park in Dalgety on Wednesday, 4 February. Under the latest round of the NSW Government’s Public Reserves Management Fund Program, the holiday park will receive $181,657 in grant funding to upgrade the amenities block and disabled toilets as well as a revamp of the park’s workshop. This is a great outcome for the Dalgety Community and we are very pleased of the success of this application. This funding will significantly enhance the holiday park and will be enjoyed by the many tourists visiting the area.

Asbestos work Funding boost for Dalgety Holiday Park on shared trail at Jindabyne Works to remediate A s b e s t o s contamination at Copper Tom Point are underway. The proposed works will provide safe access for trail users riding from Jindabyne to the Dam Wall and linking the Mill Creek Trail to Tyrolean Village. Due to wet weather, Council is experiencing delays to road works on site and therefore may not be able to re-open the shared trail by the end of February as indented. Council will keep the community informed on the progress of remediation works and the expected/ revised date of completion.

Public safety is a priority for Council and it is advised to avoid the area until remediation works are complete. Trail users can access Mill Creek from the car park on the East Jindabyne side of the dam wall or from the Tyrolean Village track trail head sign.

Member for Monaro John Barilaro with members of the Dalgety community at Snowy River Holiday Park last week. An upgrade to facilities at Dalgety’s Snowy River Holiday Park will go a long way towards meeting the needs of families visiting the area, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro has announced. Under the latest round of the NSW Government’s Public Reserves Management Fund Program, the popular caravan park will receive an $181,657 grant for a revamp. The NSW Government has committed more than $350,675 to support the development, maintenance and improvement of public reserves across the Monaro. “Public reserves are wonderful assets that are highly valued by local communities

and are vital to the success of local sports, social clubs, business and tourism,” Mr Barilaro said. “Showgrounds, caravan parks and local parks and reserves are the social and economic focal point of many of our local communities, and this funding will allow community trust managers to carry out improvements that will bring greater social and economic benefits to their local community. “Funding for the Snowy River Holiday Park at Dalgety will be used to upgrade the amenities block and disabled toilets as well as revamp of the park’s workshop.” Mr Barilaro said under the latest round of the Public Reserves Management Fund Program, the NSW Government has

allocated over $12 million in funding for upgrades to caravan parks, local parks and reserves, state parks and showground across the State. “By supporting these vital projects the NSW Government is supporting and promoting economies in the Monaro, as well as the role our wonderful local volunteers play in the ongoing management of the Crown reserve system,” said Mr Barilaro. “The PRMF is just one example of the NSW Government’s commitment to the cultural, sporting, environmental, economic and recreational life of communities across NSW.”

Pharmacies in Bombala and Jindabyne as well as South Coast townships are delivering free blood pressure checks and health assessments as part of the ‘Pharmacy Health Check: Know your numbers’ program to help identify people who may be at risk of stroke, heart disease and type-2 diabetes. Eden Pharmacist Maria Danell said the start of the new year was a great time for South Coast residents and visitors to take control of their health and learn how they can reduce their risk of stroke. “We know the indulgence and heightened stress of the Christmas holidays can have a real impact on people’s health, and can sometimes cause a dangerous spike in blood pressure,� Ms Danell said. “Many Australians do not know that blood pressure is a key indicator to their stroke risk, along with other factors such as age, gender, lifestyle and a family history of stroke. “Last year, it is estimated local residents suffered more than 380

strokes. This year it is vital we reduce that number by helping people become more aware of their stroke risk and what they can do to lower it. “If you know your numbers, you may be able to make small, simple changes to your lifestyle to reduce the likelihood of stroke,� she said. National Stroke Foundation New South Wales Executive Officer Greg Cantwell echoed Ms Danell’s comments saying everyone should know their blood pressure. “Shockingly, there are almost 29,000 people in the electorate of EdenMonaro living with high blood pressure, many of whom would be unaware of their high risk of stroke,’’ Mr Cantwell said. “Know your numbers health checks only take five minutes, they are simple, non-invasive and they could save your life.� The ‘Pharmacy Health Check: Know your numbers’ program is delivered by the National Stroke Foundation in partnership with the Pharmacy Guild of Australia New South Wales Branch.

Next month, music fans will be able to witness the critically acclaimed sisters Brooke, Samantha and Mollie when they take to the stage as part of the 2015 Snowy Mountains Country Music Festival in Thredbo. “We can’t believe it’s been seven years since we played at Thredbo. “It is such a beautiful location not only for a music festival but to visit at any time of the year,� said Mollie. “We’re excited to be sharing the stage with an incredible line-up of artists in Thredbo this March,� she continued. As Thredbo’s action-packed summer schedule continues to draw outdoor enthusiasts, adrenalin junkies and music lovers to the mountains, the region remains a thriving hub of activity year round. In 2015, The Snowy Mountains Country Music Festival will provide yet another unique opportunity for local and interstate festival-goers to visit the

As a carer when you spend most of your time looking after other people it's easy to forget to look after yourself too. But it's really important – because unless you're fit, healthy and relaxed it’s harder to continue doing everything for others. Looking after yourself will help you keep going – even when times are tough. It's worth asking yourself a few questions on a regular basis as a way of checking how you're feeling about your caring role. These questions might include: t "N * HFUUJOH FOPVHI SFTU t "N * FBUJOH SFHVMBSMZ t %P * HFU FOPVHI CSFBLT GSPN NZ DBSJOH SFTQPOTJCJMJUJFT t "N * HFUUJOH FOPVHI UJNF UP FYFSDJTF SFHVMBSMZ t "N * TUJMM BCMF UP DBUDI VQ XJUI GSJFOET t %P * OFFE TPNFPOF UP UBML UP It is very important and easy to take a break from your caring responsibilities for a few hours or even a few days. Constantly caring without taking a break can be bad for your health. You should try to continue with activities you enjoy on a regular basis. Even though the many demands of caring may make it difficult to manage, it's important that you follow your own interests outside your caring role. It may be helpful to make a habit of creating special time just for yourself. %POhU GFFM HVJMUZ BCPVU UIJT BOE QMBOOJOH BIFBE DBO NBLF UIJT NPSF BDIJFWable. For example, you may wish to do your chores when you have more energy and save a part of the day for yourself where you can stop rushing. Snowy River Community Services respite program is designed to provide respite options and support networks to carers to ensure they are maintaining their health and well being. This week’s article provides a brief overview on services that are available to carers to provide these breaks and support. Snowy River Community Services’ in-home respite support allows carers to rest and re-energise with peace of mind, on a regular or as needed basis. Respite can also include tasks like shopping, food preparation and cleaning – if this is what gives you ‌the carer‌ a true break! Who is a carer? Carers come in a shapes and forms. They may be spouses caring for their ill or frail partner, parents both young and old looking after their child with a disability, sons or daughters, siblings, friends, nieces or nephews or maybe you are a neighbour watching out for your elderly neighbour.

Securing Monaro’s farming future – new NSW drought strategy released The Member for Monaro John Barilaro has revealed details of an extensive suite of innovative drought preparedness measures for primary producers in the Monaro. Mr Barilaro said the new five-year NSW Drought Strategy includes more than $300 million in assistance measures, which will help farmers to be better prepared for and manage future droughts. “This is fantastic news for our local farmers who are all too familiar with the hardships of drought,” Mr Barilaro said. “Our farmers are the lifeblood of our communities – we know that a dollar in a farmer’s pocket is a dollar that will flow through to the small businesses that underpin our regional towns. “Without a strong and viable farming sector, the social fabric of our rural and regional communities gets unpicked. This strategy will help secure that future. “While much of the region is currently enjoying a great season, we all know how quickly drought can return. “This strategy will enable our farmers to be better prepared for future droughts – to help them to upskill, get their books in order and to install fodder sheds, pipelines, troughs and the fencing they need to manage these events. “It will also ensure, during the next drought, our rural and regional communities have the support services they need available – and funding, to help with the transport of livestock at risk

of animal welfare and also the movement of donated fodder. “It will also give our farmers access to the best-available weather information. “I know how terrible drought can bethat’s why I have made consistent and strong representations on behalf of my farming constituents for a package like this to be introduced. “A vote for NSW Labor on March 28 puts this drought funding at risk. “Labor’s only alternative policy is to blindly call for the reintroduction of oldstyle transport and fodder subsidies, with no regard for the cost. “This is despite the fact they have been shown to be an ineffective form of drought assistance, leading to perverse outcomes, and the fact that only one in four eligible farmers in drought-declared areas access them during the millennium drought.” The NSW Drought Package delivers a range of new measures under three key areas: Supporting farmers to prepare for and manage drought: • $250 million over five years to continue the popular Farm Innovation Fund. • $45 million over five years for vocation training and farm business planning. • $2.5 million to work with the Bureau of Meteorology to develop an enhanced network of weather stations across the State.

• $5 million over five years to provide transport assistance for animal welfare and donated fodder within NSW. • Ongoing investment in research and development programs through the Department of Primary Industries – building on breakthroughs in drought resistant crops and water efficiency. Committing to a transparent and accountable system of drought assistance: · NSW drought assistance measures will be reviewed by the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal. · Develop a structured framework of triggers and guiding principles to coordinate whole-of-government drought response measures, which will be developed in consultation with industry and published to ensure transparency. Helping our primary producers and regional communities build resilience: · $5 million over five years has been allocated to reinstate the Rural Support Worker Program on an as-needed basis, and continue the permanent Rural Resilience Program. The NSW Government will also work with the Commonwealth Government and farming communities to encourage the development of a commercial multiperil insurance sector for our cropping sector.

WATER & SEWER MAINS REHABILITATION PROJECT - JINDABYNE

Council’s Greenteam Council’s Green Team is pleased to announce that work has commenced on the installation of solar panels on four Council properties in Berridale and Jindabyne. Subject to weather, installation of panels will begin this week at Jindabyne Pool and the depot, Council offices and the sewerage treatment plant in Berridale. Part of the cost of the 15-30kW solar will come from Green Team funds, accumulated from energy savings achieved in previous years. The solar installations are expected to make further significant savings to Council’s electricity bills. More information and photos will be provided as works progress.

Council wishes to inform all customers in Jindabyne that the water and sewer mains rehabilitation project is underway. This project forms part of the annual mains replacement program which has been drawn up for the asset renewal program. This year, Council has programmed to replace water mains in Snowy River Avenue and sewer mains in Clyde Street, Snowy River Avenue, Kalkite Street, Kurrajong Street, Bent Street, Bogong Street and Jindabyne Holiday Park. The priority for replacement is based on the frequency of water mains breaks and sewer chokes resulting in service interruptions over the last couple of years. Residents will be informed well in advance of the planned interruptions to the water supply and sewer systems in their area throughout the project. Council will endeavour to minimise the interruption and also ensure residents are advised on the progress and completion of the project. Snowy River Shire Council apologises for any inconvenience that may arise during the project period. For maps showing proposed water and sewer mains replacement areas and material stock pile areas during construction please see our website: http://www.snowyriver.nsw.gov.au.

Jindabyne CWA farewells Christiana Last Thursday evening, Christiana Kern was left in no doubt just how much she will be missed by her fellow members of the Jindabyne CWA. Throughout the delightful farewell dinner at the Hayloft Restaurant in the Equestrian Centre, there was laughter aplenty as Christiana and her CWA friends shared stories and memories about her time in Jindabyne. After her recent retirement, Christiana decided that she would move to Victoria in order to be closer to her family. Much and all though she was looking forward to the next chapter in her life, it was with very mixed feelings that she told her fellow CWA members that she was leaving the district. At the farewell dinner held in her honour at the Hayloft Restaurant, Christiana was left in no doubt as to the esteem with which she is held by the members of the Jindabyne CWA and just

how much she will be missed. On behalf of the branch, Dale Whitfield gave Christiana a beautiful hand dyed scarf created by fellow member, Rasa Mauragis and thanked Christiana for everything she had contributed to the branch. In her speech in reply, Christiana reminisced about arriving in Jindabyne some eleven or so years ago. One of the first things she did was to look for a community organisation to join where she could meet people outside her work environment. At that stage the local Lion’s Club was a male only affair so she joined the Jindabyne CWA. It wasn’t long before she found herself an integral part of the group.

JCS welcomes new students to high school Jindabyne Central School’s (JCS) newest high school students have some big shoes to fill. As 43 new Year Seven students began their first day of high school on Wednesday, JCS was celebrating the news that 100 per cent of last year’s Year 12 cohort had been offered university placements. Every one of the 17 JCS students who applied for the university admission ranking (ATAR) along with their Higher School Certificate in 2014 received entry into university. Universities where last year’s JCS students were offered placements include the Australian National University (ANU), Macquarie University in Sydney, Wollongong University, Charles Sturt University and Canberra University. Deputy Principal Steve Cooper said it was a very pleasing result. “It’s an inspiration for this year’s Year 12 students to aim high and hopefully achieve similar results,” he said. JCS teachers have been impressed with the new Year Seven cohort, saying they had shown maturity and a positive attitude towards learning. “They have settled in very well but it hasn’t been a surprise because their primary school teachers told us they were ready for high school,” Year

Advisor Sasha Heath said. The 43 Year Seven students have come from JCS primary school, Berridale Public School and one from Victoria. A total of 19 Year Seven and Eight students have begun an innovative new class offered at JCS for the first time. The class is for students who have a passion for learning and is called the Self-Select Class. The pace and methods of teaching in the SelfSelect Class enables students to be exposed to a broader educational experience where they are challenged to meet and maintain above average expectations. Students had to apply for entry into the class and demonstrate that they were self-motivated and enthusiastic, able to work independently and cooperatively and willing to engage in extended classwork and homework.

HERITAGE INFORMATION SESSION A PowerPoint presentation designed for all members of the community, particularly those who own properties listed in the Heritage Schedule of the Cooma-Monaro Local Environmental Plan 2013 will be given by Council’s Heritage Advisor on Wednesday, 25 March 2015. One of the objectives of Council’s adopted Heritage Strategy 2014-17 is for Council, owners and the community to actively create vibrant, attractive and welcoming main streets in Cooma and the villages. To achieve this objective, in 2016 Council will be exploring the possibility of developing a main street program for Nimmitabel, as a pilot, for future consideration in 2017. Using the listed items within the village of Nimmitabel as examples, this presentation will include the definition of ‘heritage’, what is meant by the term ‘significance’,

explain what ‘listing’ means for an owner, and provide information on how the people of Nimmitabel may like to contribute to Council’s database of the heritage of Nimmitabel. It will also highlight what a main street program for Nimmitabel may involve.

McMahons Earthmoving from Adaminaby has been contracted by Council to replace timber rails with steel rails in 4 rows of cattle yard pens. These new rails will provide a safer work place when managing the stock for sale. A number of man gates will also be installed to aid the safety of personnel when loading/unloading stock. It will

also reduce ongoing maintenance costs with the old timber rails, most of which have been in place since the yards were first built. Other work which will be undertaken in the cattle yards include adjustments to the concrete drain though the bull pens which will eliminate the use of steel grating. All these works will be completed by the end of February.

Repairing cars was always Tony’s ambition Tony Potter has wanted to be a mechanic since he was in high school, and still enjoys the trade to this day. “If you don’t enjoy what you’re doing, you need to change something,� he said, surrounded by cars on the forecourt of his mechanic’s workshop, Tony’s Car Repairs.

Growing up in Sydney, his parents having moved the family from Guernsey in the Channel Islands as 10-pound-poms when he was a young boy, he worked there as a mechanic until moving to Cooma 23 years ago. “I always wanted to do something with my hands,� he said.

Cars have changed since he began his trade, their increasing reliance on electronics presenting a challenge to mechanics the world over. Tony explained that diagnosing electronic fault codes was not as easy as the owner’s manual may lead a driver to believe, with one fault code sometimes being indicative of several potential issues. “Often you’ll plug it in to the diagnostics machine and it will come up with a whole list of what that light could mean,� he said. t #6%(&5 "$$0..0%"5*0/ from $50 a room Getting to the source t 3&45"63"/5 open 7 days a week of the problem can be t 8&%/&4%": Members Draw, Euchre 7pm a painstaking process t 5)*345: 5)634%": - $4 Beers and Wine 5pm to 6.30pm of parts replacement, t '3*%": - Members Draw t 46/%": 30"45 $7.50 half serve or $15 full serve something that can prove t 46/%": 3"''-&4 +"$,105 +0,&3 GSPN QN difficult for new car owners to understand, according to Tony.

One would imagine that with a business that old, you would have all the tools you would ever need, but Tony still orders in new equipment on a regular basis, as he explained while pointing out a new toolbox he had recently taken delivery of. The garage used to be home to what was then one of many service stations in Cooma. That side of the business closed down several years ago. “It just wasn’t profitable,� Tony explained. On fuel, Tony reserves a particular dislike for the pricing of premium fuel products. “You had super and standard, then we went to unleaded fuel. There was still super for a period of time. There was only three cents difference between them, when they went to premium,

which is still basically super and standard, it jumped to 10 to 12 cents a litre difference, which it shouldn’t because it’s still the same refining,� he said. Any tips for keeping a car in good condition? For a mechanic, the answer is perhaps unsurprising. “Service regularly, every six months. What people don’t understand is that things like oils break down over time, so even if your car’s left standing for six months, it’ll still need an oil change.� Pictured below, Tony Potter checks out the Salvation Army truck during another busy day at the workshop.

the

postman calls

First the Cooma Races, then Cooma Rodeo affected by heavy rain. Is someone trying to tell us we shouldn’t have outdoor entertainment or something? Will Cooma Show complete the trifecta? Not that The Postman minded the storm – it was a bit like a tropical afternoon. Even the mozzies attended. But it says a lot for the Monaro’s unpredictable weather. On Sunday morning, the extent of the hail storm could be seen in drifts alongside the road. On Monday morning, there was still hail in small drifts, despite a warm sunny, Sunday. If only the ice in The Postman’s Pimms would last as long! Now that the Libs have voted not to spill, can the metropolitan media please concentrate on something that IS newsworthy. Every time a politician looks sidewise, the city shock jocks and ambulance chasers put two and to together and come up with a three and a half. The Postman believes most of our recent political gaffs have been made by the metropolitan media, not the pollies themselves. Enough, already!

In favour of amalgamation Editor, I read with interest the debate concerning Shire amalgamation. For those in favour, the central points are increases in efficiencies and cost savings , and for those in opposition, the decrease in services. If the efficiencies can be achieved and the levels of services maintained then I don’t think there would be a great debate. I am firmly in favour of amalgamation but not for the reasons above. I am a resident of the Snowy River Shire, yet I live 4 km from the Sharp St/ Bombala St roundabout, on the Bobundra ( Maffra Road). My property boundary is approximately 150 metres from the Cooma town (Monaro Shire Boundary). My reasons for supporting amalgamation come down to the rules of subdivision established in the Snowy River Shire LEP, where the minimum size of a block on which you can build a house is 400ha (1000acres). This is vastly different in Cooma Monaro Shire. Approximately 30% of the Cooma Town boundary is bordered by Snowy River Shire. The boundary around Cooma runs from the Bobundra Road, behind Pine Range, across Cooma Back Creek up behind Zalka Heights, across to the Snowy Mountains Highway near Cooma Steel and then along the highway out to the Four Mile. We see Cooma expanding along Mittagang Road, along the Monaro Highway North, along the road to the Golf Course, but nothing to the south of Cooma, because it is all in Snowy River Shire.

Your local Award-winning newspaper

Allowing Cooma another direction in which to expand would be beneficial for the town. An amalgamated Monaro Shire would possibly overcome the anomalies caused by the current boundary arrangements between the Shires. I have always supported boundary adjustment for the two shires around Cooma but lobbying of Federal, State and Local governments has amounted to little. Some changes were made along the Myalla Creek but nothing closer to Cooma. An amalgamated Monaro Shire would have to look at common rules of development and subdivision and allow Snowy River Shire residents close to Cooma, the same options as Cooma Monaro Shire residents. The services that residents of the Snowy River Shire who reside close to Cooma are very limited. No recycle/ garbage collections that other areas in the SRS have. Y et the vast majority of these resident’s incomes would be spent in Cooma , supporting local Cooma businesses. Residents of SRS close to Cooma would benefit from amalgamation. Cooma would benefit from amalgamation. I would encourage residents of both shires to support amalgamation with the view of improved efficiencies/ savings and to encourage the new Monaro Shire to provide the services that this wonderful region deserves.

Enviromentors visit Cooma-Monaro Shire Council schools

Students at Cooma North Public School will be treated to a special visit on 11 February by the state’s leading environmental education program for children, EnviroMentorsŽ, in a visit funded by CoomaMonaro Shire Council. The visit will involve a series of ‘Compost Critters’ workshops, giving children the chance to get up close and personal with some creepy crawlies and learn about the unique compost ecosystem they inhabit. Interactive and hands-on, EnviroMentorsŽ is an initiative of Keep NSW Beautiful to communicate simple but effective messages to primary school-aged children across the state. Every year they reach 40,000 students with the opportunity to discover their environmental impact and pick up lessons that can be brought back to families. Hailey, who will deliver the workshop, said she is often impressed with the level of sustainability awareness students bring to the table. “It’s fantastic to see children getting excited about how they can make a positive impact�, she said. With a hands-on approach to education, the EnviroMentorsŽ are a welcome sight in the Cooma-Monaro Shire Council area and have been delivering their councilsupported workshops for 6 years. Cooma North Public School is one of 7 schools in the shire visited in this round, in a year which marks their 21st anniversary operating as the state’s most extensive incursion-based environmental education service. Cooma Monaro Shire Councils Resource and Waste Operations Manager Jeff Tate said, “The workshops are a great integration with Council’s new food and garden waste

diversion from landfill initiative. “We are encouraging people within the Cooma-Monaro region to work together to waste less and recycle more, and the EnviroMentors are a wonderful opportunity for our young students to get involved early and start forming environmentally friendly habits that will last a lifetime.�

The enviromentors will work with seven schools in the region, including Michelago, Bredbo, Nimmitabel, Cooma Public, Cooma North, St Pat’s and the Snowy Mountains Christian School. After eight years of kerbside recycling collection, CMSC can now boast the outstanding success the new three-bin system has achieved since it began operation in January 2015. Though the new system actually captures more waste than the old, dividing the waste into the food and garden categories has

allowed the collection of this otherwise unused and unwanted bi-product to be now transformed into a resource for our township. The food and garden waste collected is now utilised to create a fantastic compost source for the Cooma community. A total of 54.8 tonnes was collected in January alone. Last year CMSC collected a total of 135.89 tonnes of waste for the month of January, after the introduction of the three bin system this January, the tonnage was reduced to 107.31 tonnes, proving a 28.58 tonne decrease in waste being dumped in landfill. Comparatively, the outstanding success of the system is also highlighted through the increase in recyclables collected, which in turn increases the resources these recyclables are aiding in creating. For the month of January, dry recycling increased from 51.78 tonnes in 2014 to 66.29 tonnes in 2015, indicating a 14.51 tonne increase in recyclables collected. These results are above and beyond what was predicted for the introduction of the three bin system and being the first month of the program, we can only assume that as residents become more aware of the benefits of the system, they will continue to improve. With yellow bin collections increasing and red bin collections decreasing, the Cooma community are helping to reduce the amount of rubbish dumped in our landfill and are helping to create the valuable resources collecting recyclables provides.

Kaiseki is a traditional Japanese meal typically five to seven courses in length, each course presented with an exquisite attention to detail. Each course is approximate to an entrĂŠe size, ensuring that the delicate flavours of each different recipe are appreciated. As part of the kaiseki dinner, Maido will offer dishes representing a broad spectrum of regional Japan; including sashimi, sushi,

and tempura dishes. The origin of the different courses will be explained as they are delivered, and they will be served with the unique taste of sake or Japanese beer, selected to suit the attributes of each dish. These beverages have been researched and selected based on their ability to complement the meal. There will be sake varieties served chilled, at room temperature and heated. Bookings are essential for this unique insight into Japanese culture, in order to ensure that fresh ingredients are on hand. Johno, who established Maido alongside his wife Hitomi, said that the pair is excited to offer the Cooma

community this new opportunity to explore Japanese culture. “We’re very pleased with the community support we’ve had so far and we now look forward to offering them the kaiseki experience, which should offer great entertainment for Thursday evenings,� he said. Due to the time needed to ensure the correct preparation of a meal as delicate as the Kaiseki, a minimum of 10 people is required for each Thursday evening.

Neat, cosy 4 bedroom home Heather Anoleck Dip FMBM

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

RATE DROP? There is current sentiment that interest rates are likely to drop at the next meeting of the Reserve Bank, and possibly further in the future. What does that mean for you? Is now the time to fix your home loan, or do you wait for hopefully lower rates to come? There is no easy answer, as everyone’s circumstance is different. I am happy to explain the implications of fixing rates, and give clients a comparison. I don’t have a crystal ball to be able to tell people what the future holds with interest rates, but can help them by knowing what things they need to consider. It can also be a good time to get into the investment property market. Interest rates are low. Banks have some great special offers on. If you have other financial needs, more suited to a financial adviser, I can arrange an appointment with an experienced financial adviser, Damian Toms, who can provide specialist advice. For a free appointment to discuss your existing home loan, or future loan needs, please call me on my mobile 0431 351 873.

Landmark Bombala annual circuit sale offers 11,430 head

Buyers braved in the inclement conditions to bid on Dungaree Pastoral sheep at the Allawah yards. On Wednesday January 28 Landmark Bombala held their annual store sheep circuit sale. There were 11430 head yarded of which 98 percent clearance was achieved. T here was an abundance of buyers from across NSW including Goulburn, Cooma, Wagga, Tumut, Cowra, Braidwood and Boorowa. Buyers also travelled from the southern state from Sale, Bairnsdale and as far as Ararat. Along with outof-towners the local support was also strong and consistent throughout the day across all classes of sheep. There is no doubt that the season has aided in the presentation of some of the best sheep we have had to offer. Along with the feed on the ground, local breeders were able to exhibit the potentials of their genetic selection processes and concerted management here on the southern tablelands. All vendors should be commended on the presentation of the quality lines of stock that they had for offer. The day started strong out at Pipe Clay Springs and continued the same trend for the day. The 1st X Ewe lambs were strongly sought after and topped account of Dungaree Pastoral at $172.00 and averaged $139 for the day. 1 ½ year old 1st cross ewes were limited in supply with the pens on the day

being sold to $200 account of AC & RJ Feilan and $180 account of Letompe Partnership. Merino wethers lambs were also under strong competition bringing a top of $91 to a stand out pen presented by Michael and Annie Platts of Khalassa. Merino wether lambs averaged $82 for the day. The Merino ewes across the different age groups were strongly sought after with tops for the day as follows; 1 ½ YO $141 account of TR,PJ and RT Peadon, 2 ½ YO $86 account EM & AM Kater, 3 ½ YO $142 EH & AM Kater, 4 ½ YO $143 account of Dungaree Pastoral, 5 ½ YO $130 account of MA & MA Platts and 6 ½ YO $106 account of MA & MA Platts. The average for the Merino ewes was $120 on the day. Merino wethers also held their own averaging $76 for the day. Landmark Bombala would like to thank all the vendors for their continued support and look forward to the next local feature sale which will be the Landmark Annual Calf Sale to be held on Wednesday April 15. This year the competition at this sale is tipped to be strong. We have been noted as one of the only places in state receiving rainfall right throughout summer allowing our weaner calves to be grown out and finished.

Bredwell Fedwell to boost Cooma region’s reproduction rates Combining top genetics with superior ewe feed management can boost reproduction rates and Bredwell Fedwell will show producers how. Producers have an opportunity to attend a Bred Well Fed Well workshop at ‘Hazeldean Wool Shed’, Cooma from 9am to 3:30pm on Wednesday February 25. Complimentary breakfast is available at the Hazeldean homestead from 7.30am. The workshops, supported by Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA), are an opportunity for producers to gain knowledge and skills in genetics and nutrition to help meet their enterprise objectives. Workshop facilitator, Sally Martin said the hands-on, one-day workshops will give producers practical tools to optimise reproduction and profitability in their ewe flocks. “The day is squarely aimed at improving the profitability of ewe flocks because they are the engine room of the industry,â€? said Mrs Martin. “For example, important elements of the practical one day workshop will be setting breeding goals for ewe flocks and how using tools like Breeding Values can help producers meet their goals. “We are excited about the opportunities that combining good breeding with good feeding will bring to the sheep industry,â€? she said. The workshops focus on the following: • improved understanding of how to use reliable breeding tools to improve enterprise

profitability; • how to develop a breeding objective for your sheep enterprise; • better management of ewe nutrition for reproductive performance and flock profitability; and • skills in assessing ewe condition and developing simple energy budgets for the ewe flock. Practical sessions include condition scoring, feed budgeting, ram rankings and ram selection. Follow-up courses in these areas will be offered for those wishing to further develop skills in breeding and nutritional management.

Nimmitabel stud cattle

This year the cattle section was yet again a great success with a record number of stud entries, the stud cattle shed was full to capacity. Although the true Nimmitabel weather conditions did not let us down, we still had a great day with plenty of bystanders watching some of the best stud stock the area has to offer. Our judge this year was Warren Salway from Cobargo who did a brilliant job in both cattle sections and also as over judge for the Judging Competition. The standards of the exhibits presented to the judge were of a very high quality and Royal Show standards. Many spectators voiced how impressed they were at the variety of breeds that we had exhibited at the show ranging for Herefords, Angus, Charolais, Santa Gertrudis, Speckle Park and Limousin.

They can be - and should be - treated…but not just with a painkiller that gives only temporary relief and hides the real problem! The cause is most likely to be rotator cuff tendinopathy, which is damage or inflammation of the four tendons that keep your arm in your shoulder socket, or bursitis, which is a painful inflammation of a lubricating sac (the bursa) that allows your rotator cuff tendons to glide freely whenever you move your arm. The repetitive arm movements involved when swimming, surfing or gardening can result in rotator cuff tendinopathy and bursitis. And they can be brought on following the resumption of activity after a period of inactivity – as swimmers can discover after having been out of the water over winter. When picked up early, tendinopathy and bursitis can be easily addressed. Delaying diagnosis and treatment can aggravate the condition, will prolong the pain, and may even result in corrective surgery ultimately being required. A visit to your physiotherapist will ensure you receive treatment before the symptoms

get worse. And you’ll be back to your normal routine – and be able to really enjoy your summer activities! - that much quicker. Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy is particularly well-equipped to help. Our friendly physiotherapists will pinpoint the cause of those shoulder niggles, help fix the problem, and suggest ways to avoid future injury. They can provide physical therapy such as massage and dry needling, suggest activity modification so that things that may have caused the condition are avoided, prescribe stretches that will improve flexibility and your range of movement, and provide strengthening exercises that will also help to relieve pain and restore movement. Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy are conveniently located at the new Snowy River GP Super Clinic, 5 Thredbo Terrace Jindabyne and in the Bombala Street Surgery, 62 Bombala Street Cooma. To make an appointment at Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy, phone 6457 2627. No doctor’s referral is necessary and immediate private health rebates apply.

EEK SO

taking it to a 5th game which he won after some long rallies and excellent squash 9-4. A very good game for the spectators who gave the players a round of applause. For the same teams Aaron Pottage played Leanne Corby. Leanne’s wily shots were not quite enough to handle the hardhitting Aaron and she went down 3-2 eventually. Newcomer Nathan Thompson (Maintreet) took on Leanne Kent (Snowy Hydro) and while he played well the ever-improving Leanne demolished him in 3. Is there any truth in the rumour Leanne is getting hints from her partner Corey?)Was good to see Bailey Rogers (Mark Kenmir & Co) join the comp with his dad Aron. He played Reagan Darrant – another junior – and while he played well for his first comp match Reagan came out on top. Dad Aron (Mainstreet) meanwhile had a real battle on his hands when he played Ian Corby (Snowy Hydro) in a match that went to 5 games with Ian winning 3-2. Matthew Kent (Truck Stop) came out with guns blazing to take the 1st game from another newcomer Andrew Crane (Monaro Discount Tyres) winning 9-5. However his ammunition started running out and he lost the next three 9-7, 9-5 and 9-4 in a very good match. Truck Stop v Monaro Discount Tyres - Elosie Blanchard v Alex Childs 9-7,94,0-9,10-9.

LAST W

A Grade - Tuesday 2 Feb. Mark Kenmir & Co came out on top last Tuesday against Massey Ferguson in the Cooma Squash Club’s A Grade summer competition, round 1. Corey Bedingfield won against Phil Ingram 3-0, his impressive array of shots resulting in his 9-5, 9-5, 9-0 win. Both players moved around the court well and the match was enjoyable to watch.James Hain couldn’t quite hold on against Ricky Salvestro, losing in 4 games 9-5, 8-9, 7-9, 9-10. Salvestro didn’t rush his shots, significantly aiding his performance and consequential win. Mark Kenmir welcomed 2015 with a win against Luke Abraham in 4 games: 9-7, 9-7, 7-9, 9-4. Both men, preferring a faster style of play, kept the ball hot with hard and fast strokes. Kenmir’s experience gave him the edge.It was mother versus son for the A4s, but unfortunately Susan Walters couldn’t break her son Alexander’s strong forehand and faster playing style. She went down 4-9, 6-9, 6-9; although spectators did enjoy the family competition. Cooma Trophy & Gifts v Hillross - Andrew Nowland v Simon White 9-1,4-9,9-6,9-0. Braided Skinner v Lachlan King - 5-9,2-9,9-7,9-6,4-9. Jan Wassink v Craig Bottom 3-9,39,5-9. Larry Maat v Darren Davis 5-9,3-9,3-9.

The Sergo family was well represented with Kathy, Jesse and Sam all playing – great to see. There were some good matches played – one of them being Darcy Clayton (Massey Ferguson) and Steve Johnson (Cooma Trophy and Gifts). Darcy took out the 1st quite convincingly 9-3 with Steve finding his legs after not having played for a couple of comps. But he rallied and took the next 9-5. Darcy won the 3rd 9-6 then went down 9-3

Dalgety won the toss and elected to bat on a hard rotary wicket with the openers looking to set a solid foundation. Runs were hard to come by and at drinks Dalgety were 2/65 off 25 overs after some extremely tight bowling from Mike Introna who finished with incredible figures of 1/8 off nine overs. After drinks, Dalgety looked to up the run rate with Eddie Hogan hitting 27 and Freddy Freebody chiming in with a quick-fire 28 not

Iain Elliot was the pick of the Dalgety batsmen scoring a measured 67 and Alex Moon, who in career best form with the ball, took 5/38 to go with his five wickets from last weekend. Coffeys chase was never going to be easy, and at 5/38 after 17 overs, Coffeys had a mountain to climb. Aaron Rogers was Dalgety’s best in the early parts, finishing with figures of 3/15 off his 9. Chris Fitzgerald and Will Nicholls went about restoring Coffeys innings with both batsmen hitting season high scores of 46

It was left to Steve Summerville to carry Coffeys home and with every run, they edged closer.

Alex Moon took five wickets in the close match on Saturday, where Dalgety beat Coffeys by six runs.

Windy one day, no wind the next

Sixteen boats turned up on the afternoon of Wednesday 4th February to contest heat nine of Lake Jindabyne Sailing Club’s 2014/15 Twilight series. The sailors watched the almost non-existent breeze on the lake while they rigged their boats. After much deliberation it was decided to risk a race start at around 6:10 pm. Steve Ashe, Gote Vikstrom and Mark Kirshner volunteered to man the start boat. They started the fleet on a port rounding course into a building South Easterly breeze. Tim Symons and Barney Davis on their Hobie cats made tricky start on port tack and crossed the rest of the fleet on their way to the first mark. Tim led the fleet at the Quarry mark then headed out to the far off Mountain mark on a long reach. Three of the other big cats, Ian Foster, Barry Dennis and Barney & Tom Davis slowly caught up to him on the building breeze and snuck past at the mark. Tim then set off in pursuit. He passed Barney on the next Windward work and Barry at the next rounding of the Quarry mark. The wind quickly picked up to over 15 knots and all the boats zoomed around the course. Martin Bannister and Alistair Cross with his daughter Lexi on board had their usual battle of the fourteen foot cats with each one leading the other at various times. Eventually the cold wind and water drove Alistair and Lexi back to the beach. Terry Lee sailed his 470 dinghy with new crew Ethan. Ethan also succumbed to the cold. He swapped places with Gote and warmed up on the start boat. Terry and Gote sailed on for a while before returning to the beach Victoria Incani and Ross Lawley also retired from the race. Meanwhile the Lasers battled each other and allowed Phil Daly and Nick Kishner to slip ahead of the mono-hull fleet with some exciting spinnaker rides in the strong breeze. Ian led the cats to the finish of the full length five lap course though Tim caught up

to him on the second last leg. Ian kept first place in the cats’ race on handicap corrected times. He was followed by Barry, Tim, Barney and Martin B who doggedly completed the whole course despite being a long way behind the bigger cats. Rob Matthews, Steve Osborne and Sam Bishop all sailing full rig Lasers finished the race behind Phil and Nick. Martin Van Weel led the Laser Radials followed by Kerry McGaw and Ross Tattersall. Phil notched up another win for the Flying Fifteen on corrected times. Martin came second, followed by Ross T, Sam, Kerry, Rob and Steve. The exciting, windy, full length race showed that you never know what conditions you may get on Lake Jindabyne. Lake Jindabyne showed that it is always in control of the sailors when a cold windy Wednesday race was followed by a hot, windless race on Saturday 7th February. Twelve boats rigged up to compete in race nine of the Lake Jindabyne Sailing Club’s 2014/15 Point score series. A two lap triangle and sausage port rounding course was set and the sailors given 10 minutes to reach the start line. The boats struggled to reach the line in time in the extremely light, nearly non-existent breeze. Hobie 17 sailor Tim Symons and Terry Lee and son Lucas on their 470 Dinghy, Avatar, were last to leave the beach and had to chase the rest of the fleet heading to the Quarry mark for the first time.

Barry Dennis on his Hobie 17 with the new square-top sail shared the lead with Laser sailors Steve Osborne and Gote Vikstrom as the very light conditions assisted the lighter lasers against the much heavier cat. All the sailors searched for that elusive zephyr of Breeze as they battled around the course. Tim and Terry slowly moved from the back of the fleet to the middle and chased the leaders. The fleet battled the conditions and each other on a tricky windward work from the Peninsular mark to the Bay mark while Barry increased his lead. Tim caught up to Ian Foster who slipped away on the Bay to Quarry sausage leg. Barry sailed into a hole in the breeze when rounding the Bay mark for the last time. This allowed the fleet to catch up. Ian Foster found another patch of nobreeze while Tim found a lifting breeze which allowed him to pass Ian and Barney and Tom Davis on their Hobie 16. After a long tricky race, Barry and Steve reached the beach together followed by Gote. Then came Terry, Tim, Ross Tattersall, Barney, Ross Lawley, Kerry McGaw and Ian. Martin Bannister on his Hobie 14 and Victoria Incani on a club Laser battled at the back of the fleet and finished in that order a bit after the rest of the fleet. Daniel Blanch joined the sailors on a club Laser, but didn’t complete the race. Gote won the race on yardstick corrected times followed by Steve, Ross T, Ross L, Kerry, Terry and Lucas, Tim, Barry, Victoria, Barney and Tom, Ian and Martin.

Bucking good time at the annual Cooma Rodeo

The annual Cooma Rodeo went off without a hitch over the weekend, regardless of minor rain delays on Saturday night. With lots of very brave competitors taking on the bulls and an action packed program that boasted Barrel Racing for all ages, team roping, steer undercoating, steer riding, breakaway events, steer wrestling and even poddy riding, there was entertainment for young and old all day. A large crowd was present at the Cooma Showground and the announcers were heard to say that the bulls ‘really liked being in the arena’ throughout the day as clocking a competitive time proved to be difficult for most bull riders.

Dane sets his sights high Dane Freimanis is well on his way to competing in the Australian Scooter Association National Championships, having secured a podium finish in the second round of the NSW qualifiers over the weekend. Dane placed third in the under 16 category of the competition, held at Korrupt Indoor Skate Park in Sydney, with a total score of 164. Scores are allocated based on the variety of tricks performed within a timed run, degree of difficulty and the execution of the tricks. Dane, along with approximately 60 other riders from NSW, are competing to qualify for the NSW State Titles, then onto the National Titles later in the year. “We have three-minute runs, we get to do whatever tricks we want, they just have a timer, there are three judges and they judge us on what sort of tricks we do, the difficulty and execution. What really counts is the variety of ramps you use, so if you use the whole park you’re definitely going to get a good mark,” Dane explained. The 15-year-old Monaro High student has been riding scooters for the past four years, and has been competing for two years. His weekend performance is the latest in a string of achievements in the fast-growing sport - last year he placed fifth in the Under 16 division of the National Championships held in Melbourne and placed third in the open division of the Scooter Hut Pro Series. Dane has been posting videos of his scooter riding online for years, and he secured sponsorship from one of the highest profile businesses in the sport, Scooter Hut, after staff there saw one of these films. “They saw me, I wasn’t really a competitor back then, I was just riding for fun, but I think they saw one of my videos. I went into their shop and they saw me and they asked if I wanted to be on the team,” he said. Dane explained that his riding

skills were largely self-taught, having developed an interest in scooter riding when it enjoyed a local resurgence a few years ago. “I used to ride BMX, just a little BMX, I couldn’t do any tricks but then everyone started riding scooters so I just started riding scooters, but then after that people started riding BMX again but I just stuck with scooters because I was good at it. So that’s what got me into it,” he explained. It may not be the most popular local sport, but scooter riders are enjoying a growing profile in metropolitan areas. “It’s actually getting really big at the moment. Skate parks in Sydney, especially on the beach, used to be full of skate boarders but now there are so many more scooter riders.” The opportunities for professional riders are also expanding, with a large number of national and international competitions attracting public interest and prize money. Dane cited Ryan Williams, a 20-year-old from the Sunshine Coast, as an example of how far riders can go. “There’s Ryan Williams, he’s like a millionaire out of scooter riding, he’s in the Nitro Circus, he can do really big tricks. He’s gone far,” he said. The next NSW qualification round will be held at The Slam Factory on the Central Coast on Saturday March 7 where Dane hopes to continue his good form.

Mt Biking in the Snowies With Mt Biking becoming one of the world’s number one outdoor activities that everyone can do all sizes great and small from beginners to experts there is endless fun, adrenalin and adventure to be had by all. Living here in the Snowy Mountains provides us with so many outstanding mt bike opportunities most know about Thredbo and Jindabyne’s trail network but only a few know of all the great trails Cooma has to offer particularly at Mt Gladstone. Due to the local demand and the fact almost one in three tourist vehicles driving through town have bikes, CoomaMonaro Shire Council is fully behind further developing the Mt Gladstone trail network to create a world class Mt Bike Park. This will give the locals to the Snowy Mountains another place to ride and importantly for the town’s econom,y a reason for tourists to stop and stay in Cooma. A few passionate Mt Bike riders have formed the Snowy Mountains MTB Club to work alongside the council to help design, build and maintain the trails. The first club meeting was last week and the club would like to invite all locals to the next meeting tonight, Wednesday February 11 at 6.30 at the Alpine Hotel for your chance to hear

what’s happening, give your input and become a foundation member if you wish. Places like Whistler a ski resort in Canada are busier in summer now than winter due to Mt Biking and the Snowies has the same oppurtunity.

Mountain biker Tegan Molloy is a great example of the skills and bravery mountain bikers can develop with practice and dedication.

Member for Monaro helping local sports clubs Right: Member for Monaro John Barilaro and Cooma Tigers Soccer Club members at Nijong Oval.

Left: Member for Monaro John Barilaro and Cr Rogan Corbett from Cooma-Monaro Shire Council Deputy Mayor at Rotary Oval.

Cricket and football facilities in Cooma are set for an upgrade, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro announced last week. Mr Barilaro presented a $20,739 grant to Cooma-Monaro Shire Council, courtesy of the NSW Government’s Public Reserves Management Fund Program, for a revamp of the cricket practice nets at Rotary Oval. Mr Barilaro said the NSW Government has committed more than $350,675 to support the development, maintenance and improvement of public reserves across the Monaro. “Under the latest round of the Public Reserves Management Fund Program, the NSW Government has allocated over $12 million in funding for upgrades to caravan

parks, local parks and reserves, state parks and showground across the State,’ Mr Barilaro said. “Public reserves are wonderful assets that are highly valued by local communities and are vital to the success of local sports, social clubs, business and tourism,” Mr Barilaro said. “Showgrounds, caravan parks and local parks and reserves are the social and economic focal point of many of our local communities, and this funding will allow community trust managers to carry out improvements that will bring greater social and economic benefits to their local community.” Cooma Football Club will receive a $6,325 grant through the NSW Government’s Community Building Partnership

grant scheme to construct a safety fence at Nijong Oval. “Cooma Football Club is a vibrant and active sports club; I commend the work they do in the community to promote health and fitness. “This grant will help to enhance facilities to ensure that they are up to scratch to continue the fantastic work the club does within Cooma. “By supporting these vital sports facility upgrade projects, the NSW Government is supporting and promoting economies in the Monaro, as well as the role our wonderful local volunteers play within the community.”

T20 victory for Under 14’s Jack makes first grade trial match The Monaro Mainstreet Under 14 cricket team enjoyed a home victory on the weekend, beating the team from Canberra Grammar in a 20 over match. The wicket and surrounds were rather wet after the downpour in Cooma the night before. Monaro lost the toss and were asked to bowl. Not a bad toss to lose, as the team batting first did have to cope with the slower field. Grammar lost two early wickets, in the first and second overs. Nick Coote took a great low reflex catch in the slips from the bowling of Archie Allen. James Cahill then found the edge of the bat with Lochie Jones taking the catch behind the stumps. Grammar steadied but found it very hard to score runs. They didn’t lose another wicket until the tenth over, but had only 15 runs by then. In an effort to score more runs, they started to take risky singles and suffered four run outs through poor running and good fielding from the Monaro side. Only eight wickets fell in the innings, but

the score after 20 overs was just 42 runs. Monaro faced a surprising spin bowling attack initially, including their own Russ Haylock playing for the Grammar side who were a player short. Openers Will Cahill (6) and Nick Coote (20 no) started briskly and batted much more aggressively than the other side. Runs were not easy to get, with tight bowling from the spinners and then the quick bowlers. James Hayden hit a couple of fours then lost his wicket when scores were level in the 13th over. Monaro passed the target later in the over, with Declan Gregory hitting the winning run. Grammar stayed on to allow Monaro to bat out their 20 overs and continued to bowl well. In the end, Monaro scored 80 runs for the loss of seven wickets. Monaro hope to progress to the final of the T20 competition and then resume two-day games next weekend. With only one loss for the season so far, the team stands a good chance of being in the finals for both competitions.

Another of Cooma’s talented young footballers has impressed NRL powers that be. Jack Williams trialled in a first grade match against Melbourne Storm for the Canberra Raiders on the weekend. The Raiders won the match 32-20, with another of Cooma’s talents, Sam Williams, scoring a try. Jack, 18, has been a member of the Raiders 20s for the last two years. He is formerly a Cooma Colt, playing up to the under 16s. Jack said he was surprised when Raiders

coach Ricky Stuart asked him to play up. He said he thought he performed “not too bad” in the 15 to 20 minutes he had on the ground. He said he would use the experience of playing against bigger, fitter and more experienced men in future 20s game. He is hopeful he might also pick up some matches in reserves grade this season, with the view to eventually making the first grade team like Sam Williams.

Short course ch’ships Cooma competes at Ulladulla Cooma Golf report by Garry Atkinson

With the Short Course Championships coming up next Saturday players are getting those last minute rounds in to fine tune their golf.

During the week (Saturday) the February monthly medal was played with Dave Robinson winning A grade with a 70 nett. from Brian Searl with a 71 nett. In B grade Steve Russell had the round of the day with a 67 nett. to win with Gary Batten a few behind with a 71 nett. C grade was taken out by Reinhold Block with a fine 69 nett. from Martin Gelling with 71 nett. (on a countback). Ball winners went out to Richard Hanna with a 74 nett. Nearest the pin on the 9th went to Tim Bedingfield with Dave Douglass taking out the 17th. Longest drive in A grade went to Jim Caldwell, B grade to Gaye Wilson and C grade to Martin Gelling. Sunday saw both our A reserve pennant and B handicap teams in Canberra doing battle with ACT teams. The A reserve team went down to Queanbeyan 4 matches to 2 with both Sam and Phil Patricks gaining solid wins. The B handicap results were not at hand at the time of printing. In our local competition: A single medley stableford was played with Wayne Flynn really taking

on the field to blitz the competition with a fine 39 points from Mark Rainsford with 32 points. Ball winners went down to Gary Batten with 27 points. Nearest the pin on the ninth went to Jeff Burgess and on the 17th Jenny Rainsford hit a great shot. On Wednesday February 4, 33 players competed in three grades for the top prizes with A grade being won by that brilliant putter Bob Ashcroft with 36 points. B grade was taken out by regular winner Warren Bray with 37 points (just edged Jeff Burgess out on a countback) and C grade was taken out by another smooth swinging golfer – Tony Monday with 38 points (round of the day). Ball winners went down to 33 points with Damien Kenneally just squeezing in. Nearest the pin on the ninth was won by Denis Minehan. Rumour has it Denis has a new driver and is hitting the ball 20 metres further. Half the club want to borrow it and try it out! Norm Marshall hit a wonderful shot to take out nearest the pin on the 17th. Next Saturday sees the Snowy Mountains Short Course Championships with Sunday and Wednesday both individual medley stablefords with visitors most welcome. Junior golf is on this Sunday at 2pm. Members are asked to lend a hand if they can. See you on the greens.
