Election 2016 - what the candidates have to say Labor candiate - Mike Kelly

The 2016 election presents a clear choice between Labor’s plan to invest in better healthcare, hospitals, schools and teachers, and the Coalition’s insistence on tax cuts for the wealthiest Australians.

With the election campaign now officially underway, the Labor

candidate for Eden-Monaro, Mike Kelly, said Labor was ready for Government, with a positive, coherent policy platform.

“Labor will protect and promote Medicare.

Universal healthcare is in Labor’s DNA, we see it as an investment in people. By contrast, the Coalition plan is for patients to be stung with surprise fees for pap

smears, pregnancy tests, x-rays, blood tests and MRIs, thanks to their $650 million cut to the health budget.

“Labor will invest in schools and teachers, to give every kid the opportunity to make the best future for themselves. Unlike the Coalition, we are fully committed to the Gonski funding reforms. We will make sure higher education is

affordable, stamp out the Coalition’s $100,000 degrees, clean up rorts in vocational education and put TAFE back at the centre of the system.

“Labor will insist on a fair tax system, going after multinational tax avoidance. Labor is committed to improving the lives of all Australians, unlike the Coalition, whose income tax cuts will do nothing for three quarters of the nation.

“Only Labor has a serious plan to address climate change and deal effectively with the marriage equality issue without wasting $160m, causes on which Malcolm Turnbull has abandoned in order to lead the Liberal Party. People thought Malcolm Turnbull could change the Liberal Party, but the reality is that the Liberal Party has changed him.”

Liberal member - Peter Hendy Incumbent member for EdenMonaro, Dr Hendy said this year’s election would be fought on policy and who had the strongest economic plan for jobs and growth in Eden-Monaro.

Dr Hendy said he was proud of his track record in securing jobs and growth for Eden-Monaro, including; · over $11 million for local roads across Cooma-Monaro, Snowy River, and Bombala regions, · delivering fixed line NBN to Jindabyne, Berridale, Cooma, and Bombala with works to commence by the end of 2017,

More donations from auxiliary Save Snowy brumby coalition formed

The Cooma Hospital Auxiliary has donated an isolation trolley to aid in infection control.

The trolley allows for safe and dust free storage of clean gowns, caps, gloves etc provide peace of mind for staff, visitors and clients.

The Hospital Auxiliary works tirelessly to provide much needed resources and has donated more than $200,000 worth of equipment over the past decade.

Some of the major items include an ECG

machine, a bladder scanner, a paediatric trolley, a transfer trolley, lift chairs, a duel tourniquet digital table, a fridge, 16 electric beds, a birthing bed, two scanning tilt chairs, 29 bedside cabinets, a fluid warming cabinet, an orthopaedic drill, trauma trolleys, high back chairs an Olympus camera head and light and a stand up lifter.

Pictured are Auxliary members Marilynne Weston, Lorraine McGregor, Bob Weston and Cooma Hospital representative Kirsty Dixon.

Power outages and car accidents Emergency services attended a single vehicle crash on The Monaro Highway towards Nimmitabel. The event turned out to be minor and the driver was transported to Cooma Hospital as a precaution.

Ambulance On May 3 paramedics responded to a single vehicle accident on Jerangle road. Shortly after midnight paramedics treated a female patient believed to be in her 20s.

She was suffering from an arm injury and lacerations to the head. She was transported by the Southcare Helicopter to Canberra Hospital for further treatment.

Shortly before 9am on Sunday May 8 paramedics responded to a collision between a vehicle and a tree on Kosciuszko road in East Jindabyne.

Paramedics treated one female patient who appeared to suffer a back injury. She was transported to Cooma Hospital.

A power outage occurred in Cooma on Friday night causing a blackout for several hours.

Essential Energy restored power to 443 customers in Cooma, including parts of the CBD, affected by an unplanned power outage on Friday, May 6.

Network protection equipment operated to isolate the affected area after detecting a fault on the high voltage electricity network around 11pm.

Local field crews responded immediately and after patrolling and fault finding on the network, identified damage to a transformer in Sharp Street.

After ensuring the safety of the site, the local electricity network was re-configured to redirect supply and power was progressively restored to all customers by 3.30am Saturday, 7 May. Local field staff completed necessary repairs to the transformer on Saturday.

Customers are reminded to call Essential Energy on 13 20 80 for information or updates about unscheduled power outages.

The Snowy Mountains Brumby currently under threat of extermination by the NSW Liberal Government may have been saved by the formation of a campaign coalition of local advocates at a meeting in Tumut on Monday.

President of the Snowy Mountains Bush Users Group Peter Cochran reports that a strategy to mountain a campaign and respond to the recently released Draft Wild Horse Management Plan will initially write to NSW Minister Mark Speakman seeking an extension of time to prepare a response to the document.

Mr Cochran said, “The NSW Government quite deliberately and sneakily delayed the release of the report to the eve of the Federal election in the hope that the issue would be buried in the hype of a double disillusion.

This is a dishonest and deceptive move which denies the Snowy Brumby and advocates a legitimate

chance to save the war horse descendants from extinction. We are asking for a four month extension of time which equates with the time frame the NSW Government delayed releasing the report.�

Mr Cochran continued, “It is incomprehensible, that on the eve of our Nation commemorating the centenary of the Battle of Beersheba in 1917, descendants of the mighty Australian Light Horse could be slaughtered for purely political purposes. “The Australian population need to be made aware of the dishonest tactics used by the Government and their advisers to discredit the Snowy Brumby. “Left leaning members of the Liberal Party in conjunction with the NSW NPWS and a faculty of the Australian National University have mounted a decade long campaign to eradicate the Snowy Brumby. We plan to expose their dishonesty�, Mr Cochran said.

Local students graduate from University of Canberra

Beth Morgan.

O

LY N O NE

Cooma and Jindabyne residents were among 2,200 students to graduate from the University of Canberra last month.

Photos are available here http://bit. ly/20A4ifn and their stories are below.

Cooma’s Beth Morgan was very excited to pick up her Bachelor of Education at the University of Canberra’s graduation ceremony at Parliament House on Wednesday, 6 April.

Taking a day off from teaching her Year 2 class Tuggeranong Primary school in Canberra, she celebrated her achievement with her family.

The 24-year-old’s most eye-opening experience of her studies was when she flew to China on prac last year, gaining firsthand insight of teaching practices in Shanghai.

When you are the only graduate accepting a Bachelor of Marketing Management and Bachelor of Media Arts and Production double degree from the University of Canberra you can probably expect to bring in a crowd.

That’s what happened for Jindabyne’s Lewis Streete at his graduation ceremony at Parliament House on Tuesday, 5 April.

“It’s a relief to have my degree in my hand, I’m proud of the achievement, but it is also a bit of a weight off really,” he said.

The former Jindabyne Central School student initially started out his tertiary studies with the intent to just get one degree, but hoping to capitalise on job prospects and security he added a second.

23-year-old Cooma resident Denise Lewis did not wait long to follow up her Bachelor’s Degree, after picking up her Graduate Diploma in Nutritional Science at the University of Canberra’s graduation ceremony at Parliament House on Wednesday, 6 April.

The former Monaro High School student said her latest achievement is all part of the bigger picture. “It was the stepping-stone to getting into Masters in Dietetics which is what I really wanted to do, so it was a big deal to be able to get this diploma and get the marks to get into masters,” she said.

After completing her undergrad in New South Wales, she said she was impressed with the University of Canberra. “I met some pretty cool chicks and some really good friends and the lecturers at UC are amazing they do everything to try and help you to get to where you want to be,” she said.

Cooma’s Rebecca Thompson was excited and proud to graduate from the University of Canberra with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Forensic Studies at Parliament House on Wednesday, 6 April.

The Monaro High School graduate said she always wanted to study science, a passion which was further fuelled by watching crime shows such as NCIS and CSI. She hopes her degree takes her on “a really interesting career path, and not sitting in front of a desk all day”.

The 22-year-old is still keeping busy juggling three jobs in Cooma while applying for graduate program positions in Canberra.

For Andrew Anthony, it was his love of a

life simulator video games that kick-started his passion for design.

“It started playing The Sims 3 and just from there I’ve always had a passion for creativity and design,” he said. “It seemed to be the perfect combination of both logic and discipline and creative flare so I really drawn to it.”

Graduating with a major in interior architecture, the former Monaro High School student travelled to Parliament House on Thursday, 7 April, to collect his Bachelor of Design at the University of Canberra’s graduation ceremony.

The 22-year-old said the opportunity to study abroad was the highlight of his studies. “I went to England’s University of Hertfordshire as part of a year abroad and that was the most amazing thing,” he said. “When I came back in my final semester I was part of the student team assisting the study aboard unit and it was just so good, it really added something unique to my degree.”

The University of Canberra hosted its graduation ceremonies in the Great Hall at Parliament House last month (5-7 April).

Graduates from rural and regional areas were among those collecting their degrees at eight ceremonies.

The graduations were the last with Professor Stephen Parker as the University’s Vice-Chancellor, with Professor Parker stepping down from the role on 1 July, after more than nine years in the position.

He estimates he has seen more than 25,000 students graduate from the University during his tenure.

“I always look forward to graduation because it is a time that acknowledges and celebrates years of hard work and dedication,” Professor Parker said.

“Our graduates are now ready for careers in industries including education, nursing, science, law and many more. I congratulate them on their achievements and wish them all the best for long and successful careers in their chosen field.”

In addition to celebrating graduations, the University also has reason to cheer as it continues its rise in world rankings after being named among the best young universities in the world in the prestigious 2016 Times Higher Education (THE) 150 Under 50 ranking.

The result, announced last week, caps off a stellar run for the University whose improved performance across the board has seen it rise in both the 2015-2016 THE and Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings over the past 12 months.

The University’s bold campus development plan continues to break ground with construction of the University of Canberra Public Hospital underway. The University’s growing health precinct will also include a 150-bed aged care facility and child care centre, and a cancer care centre. The plan also includes residential development, an innovation precinct, sporting facilities, a hotel and a Great Hall.

The University’s continued commitment

Andrew Anthony.

Rebecca Thompson. to gender equality in the workplace has also been recognised by being named an Employer of Choice for Gender Equality for the ninth year in a row in its different forms.

The University is one of 90 organisations in the country to receive the prestigious citation and one of only two in the ACT.

The frosty mornings are back, and while the sparkling white starts have been expected, the very sunny days following have exceeded all hopes.

In fact, a local weather recorder has informed us that last Saturday, May 7 Bombala experienced its hottest May day in an incredible 49 years, reaching a balmy 25 degrees! That is the highest May temperature since May 11 of 1967 when the mercury soared to 26.7 degrees.

We’re also informed that January 2016 was our wettest in well over 20 years, while February was our driest, which is the opposite way around to usual.

As unpredictable as ever, we now wait and see what the Bombala weather has in store as winter approaches.

As we approach the busier winter months I would like to remind everyone that Council will continue to enforce parking restrictions and drivers are urged to obey the restrictions as sign-posted. We make no apology for enforcement during our peak seasons as this is a response to repeated concerns from shopkeepers, residents and patrons for the smooth flow of parking for access to all retail areas in Jindabyne.

Scores on Doors Cooma Monaro Shire Council has recently rolled out its Score on Doors initiative, giving businesses the opportunity to promote their good hygiene and food safety record.

Businesses who received 3-5 stars have been given a certificate for them to display on their door, showing how they have ranked.

Businesses that achieved the highest score have been awarded five stars, but businesses with three stars have not done badly,

there are just some minor details that need addressing.

Council’s Manager for Public Health and Environment Gina McConkey said businesses that got three or four stars are still satisfactory, there are just some minor details they need to work on to achieve a perfect score.

Ms McConkey also said it is impressive to see how some businesses have improved their rankings since the initiative was first proposed 12 months ago.

MONARO POST

CMS Council leading the way Australian Soil Management (ASM) has signed an agreement with the Cooma Monaro Shire Council for 760 tonnes of Cooma’s Coompost which will be used in farming trials over the next 12 months.

ASM has been selected by the NSW Environmental Protection Authority to evaluate the economic benefits of compost to agriculture in Southern NSW. Large scale compost trials have been set up with the almond and wine industries in Griffiith; grazing, wheat and cancia farms in Boorowa and Bungendore as well as African Lovegrass control trials on the Monaro. These trials will measure increases in farm productivity and profitability from increased soil fertility.

The Monaro based trials have been carried out at sites at Macfield and Billingara and have been returning positive results.

The concept is that by improving the fertility of the soil, native plants will be able to outcompete noxious weeds, particularly African Lovegrass, without the need for expensive chemicals.

Compost adds all of the 22 minerals and nutrients needed to balance the soil chemistry, and most importantly adds organic matter which, in scientific circles, is one of the measures for assessing soil fertility.

Norman Marshall, Director of ASM, believes

that these trials will prove what many farmers are finding out.

The correct use of compost will translate in to a 25 percent or more increase in farm productivity and profitability.

Composting is the start of new new farming techniques where the focus shifts back to improving the soil quality and fertility rather than concentrating on plant improvement and management.

ASM will be holding field days at all of the farm trial sites in spring this year, which will be open to the public where Dr Greg Bender, CEO ASM, will explain the set-up of the trials and the results to date.

The compost for the trials has been provided by the Cooma Monaro Shire Council’s Coompost program, a result of the three bins initiative.

The organic processing was introduced with funding assistance through the NSW EPA’s Waste Less Recycle More initiative, and has received State-Wide recognition with Council receiving three Environmental Awards for organics processing last year “Council is very pleased to be partnering with Australian Soil with these projects, as the benefits to agriculture and the environment look very promising,� said Director for Environmental Services Peter Smith.

BOMBALA COUNCIL GENERAL MANAGER: Ms Ngaire McCrindle The draft Operational Plan for 2016/17; modified Delivery Program 2013/2017 (the four year Council term plan outlining what activities Council will undertake to meet the objectives of the Community Strategic Plan 2013/2026), along with the updated Resourcing Strategy (including Workforce Plan, Asset Management Strategy and Long Term Financial Plan 2015/2026) and are being presented tonight to an Extra Ordinary Meeting of Council. Following the meeting the documents will be placed on public exhibition. Final adoption of these documents by Council is required by 30 June, 2016.

This year the Delivery Program 2013/2017 is in its fourth year and has had very minor modification. The Resourcing Strategy has only been amended in the Long Term Financial Plan to update our financial estimates and roll it to 2026. The Asset Management Strategy and Workforce Plan have not been updated.

In the light of current circumstances and the fact that Council is in a merger proposal period, revenue raising has been restricted by the NSW Government. As residents will be aware, Council was planning on a special rate variation for the three year period commencing 2016/17 staged at 9% and then two years of 8.5% but this has not been permitted. The impact of this restriction by the State Government is reflected in the Long Term Financial Plan and is causing an aggregated loss of approximately $6 million from now to 2026.

Council has also made provision in the 2016/17 financial year to borrow funds for the Sewerage Fund to enable the needed upgrade of the Timor Street pump station.

Responsible parking rules will be enforced in Snowy River Shire As we approach the busier winter months Snowy River Shire Council reminds residents and visitors that Council will continue to enforce parking restrictions and drivers are urged to obey the restrictions as sign-posted.

Council has the responsibility to carry out a number of regulatory functions on behalf of the State Government.

In 2002 the responsibility for parking regulation was transferred to Councils from the NSW Police by the NSW State Government. Parking enforcement is designed to contribute to public safety

though minimisation of dangerous activities, manage traffic flow and provide equitable access to available parking spaces.

“Council make no apology for enforcement during our peak seasons as this is a response to repeated concerns from shopkeepers, residents and patrons for the smooth flow of parking for access to all retail areas”, reaffirms General Manager, Joseph Vescio.

While parking enforcement is stepped up over the busy tourist seasons, Council patrols, and if necessary issues fines, all year round. Recently Council has been

addressing the issue of individuals parking on nature strips, which is not permitted and drivers are reminded to always park on the road to allow pedestrian traffic clear safe access.

“The message to drivers is very clear, obey parking restrictions or you will be fined”.

Creating a path to real jobs for young people - Hendy The Turnbull Government’s national economic plan for jobs and growth in a stronger, new and more diversified economy will create a new path to youth employment, helping young people through Australia’s economic transition.

The Government will invest $840.3 million over four years in a Youth Employment Package to assist up to 120,000 vulnerable young people take advantage of job opportunities as the economy diversifies and transitions to broader-based growth.

Liberal Member for Eden-Monaro Dr Peter Hendy said the new Youth Employment Package builds on initiatives introduced by the Government last year to help support youth employment. “In the last 18 months, 50,000 more young Australians have found jobs, but there is more work to be done,� Dr Hendy said. “The new measures will further boost young people’s job prospects by helping them to be better prepared for the workplace and encouraging more businesses to open the door to them.�

At the core of the package is the Youth Jobs PaTH (Prepare-Trial-Hire), a $751.7 million initiative to help maximise the chances of job seekers under 25 getting a job. The programme will involve three flexible stages. • Employability skills training will begin on 1 April 2017 to help prepare young job seekers for the workplace. The training will help young people better understand what employers expect of them and give them the skills, attitudes and behaviours required to be successful in a job. • From 1 April 2017, up to 30,000 young job seekers each year will be eligible to undertake an internship placement of 4 to 12 weeks. The internships will be voluntary and provide incentives of $1,000 upfront to a business to host an intern and a $200 fortnightly payment to job seekers on top of their income support. • From 1 January 2017 a Youth Bonus wage subsidy of between $6,500 and $10,000 will be available to businesses who take on an eligible young job seeker.

As part of this measure, existing wage subsidies (including those for youth, parents, indigenous and mature-age workers, and the long-term unemployed) will be streamlined, making them easier for employers to access. “These three initiatives - pre-employment training, real work experience and wage subsidies - have been proven to help young

New nbn satellite broadband services launch for Bombala

Residents living in regional and rural areas in Eden-Monaro can begin to connect to affordable, high-speed broadband with the launch of services on nbn’s Sky Muster satellite network.

Member for Eden-Monaro Dr Peter Hendy welcomed the official launch of nbn’s commercial Sky Muster broadband service.

“This is great news for people in Bombala that will be able to access high speed internet.” Dr Hendy said.

The new high-speed broadband service is

a practical example of the Turnbull Coalition Government’s plan to successfully transition Australia’s economy and to create more jobs.

Offering download speeds of up to 25 Megabits per second (Mbps) and upload speeds of up to 5 Mbps, the Sky Muster service will provide a faster online experience for internet users living in regional and remote areas.

“The Government has invested $2 billion in two advanced Ka-band satellites and a network of ground stations that make up the

Sky Muster service,” Dr Hendy said.

“The remoteness of our continent and its islands is no longer a barrier to broadband connectivity thanks to nbn’s Sky Muster.”

Each service requires a professional installation of a new receiver dish and indoor modem.

“Many homes and businesses in Bombala are still dependent on very basic internet access which makes even online banking or emailing difficult. Sky Muster will change all that for many thousands of Australians,” Dr Hendy said.

Equal priority will be given to new customers and current nbn Interim Satellite Service users migrating to Sky Muster. Around 5,000 users per month will be connected in the early months of the rollout before scaling up to 10,000 installations per month later this year.

More than 600 installers have been fully trained and are forecast to reach on average one to two premises per day due to safety considerations and extended traveling times involved in each installation.

An estimated 14,177 homes and businesses in Eden-Monaro will be eligible to connect to the service as they are outside of nbn’s fixed line and fixed wireless coverage areas.

A variety of different broadband plans are available from providers and pricing compares favourably with current international and local commercial satellite and mobile internet plans.

The launch of nbn’s commercial satellite services is delivering the Government’s commitment to bring high-speed broadband to rural and regional Australia.

For more information on eligibility and retailers visit: www.nbnco.com.au or freecall nbn on 1800 687 626.

Same councils, same consultants - different reports From Alan Jones to the Sydney Morning Herald, everyone has been talking about the Bombala Council.

To be more exact, two reports that were generated to explore the proposed amalgamation between the Council and its neighbours have been brought into question by an independent local government consultant, and it has created quite a stir. With his concerns having been discussed on 2GB radio and outlined in the SMH newspaper late last month, Martin Bass has pointed out some “disturbing insights into the ‘variability’ of the economic modelling� involved in the proposed council amalgamation.

Writing for the GovernmentNews website on April 20, Mr Bass explains that KPMG was contracted to prepare 45 amalgamation proposals for NSW, including the economic modelling required. “Reading through the proposals, two characteristics stand out,� Mr Bass writes. “The first is KPMG’s modelling that indicates the consistently positive economic impacts that will flow to NSW communities as a result of the amalgamations. The second is the absence of any account of the assumptions or detailed data

Mr Bass points out that these are some of the outcomes of two economic modelling exercises performed by one consultant [KPMG] focusing on the same amalgamation scenario. “Yet reading these statements, it’s hard to believe that the two reports came from one single source.

The apparent contradictions are alarming,� he writes. “What makes this more concerning is that whilst the full KPMG report prepared for the councils is freely available, that prepared for the State Government, along with any supporting analysis and assumptions, has not been publicly released despite numerous requests from councils, communities, the State Opposition and others.�

Jindabyne CWA turns poppies into revenue for local RSL

RSL receiving cheque from CWA.

What to do with some 900 poppies? That was the question. The answer was:– put a phone call into the Snowy River sub branch of the RSL and ask if they would be interested in accepting a donation of a few poppies if the Jindabyne CWA turned them into badges and sold them on behalf of the RSL. It was an offer which could not be refused!!

So some of the poppies were used to create an ANZAC Day wreath for the CWA, some were bought by a local businesswoman to be used in her window display and the remainder had badge pins sewn onto the backs. Almost 800 badges were made!

The Jindabyne CWA then set up a stall in the lead up to ANZAC Day and began selling the handmade

In recent times Snowy River Shire Council has received and investigated complaints of dogs attacking or intimidating people, livestock and other dogs. Under the Companion Animals Act 1998, an attack includes rushing at, chasing any person or animal, attacking, biting and harassment, whether or not any actual injury is caused. For example if a dog chases school children down the street or rushes at someone it is still considered an attack. “All attacks are taken very seriously

by Council. The consequences of owning a dog involved in an attack are very broad and may involve orders to surrender the dog, have the dog destroyed or declared dangerous. Significant fines can be imposed as well as the possibility of

Almost 500 were bought by locals and visitors alike.

The executive team of the Snowy River RSL were almost speechless when they learned of the final sales figures from their CWA badges. And it was with great delight that CWA President Dale Whitfield and some of her team presented RSL treasurer Denise Helliwell, President Ruffy Graham, Jim Crocker and Stephen Youll OAM with a cheque for $1028.20.

Department fines Boco Rock Cooma local takes Dream Fund Windfarm for disturbing major prize Aboriginal heritage sites Department of Planning and Environment compliance officers have issued two fines and a warning letter after finding conditions of approval were breached and Aboriginal heritage sites were disturbed at the Boco Rock Windfarm near Nimmitabel.

Boco Rock Wind Farm Pty Ltd and Downer EDI Engineering Power Pty Limited were both issued $3000 fines by the Department after construction works disturbed three Aboriginal sites considered to be of moderate local scientific significance.

An investigation by Department compliance officers found approval conditions relating to the management of Aboriginal heritage had not been met.

A warning letter has also been issued to NGH Environmental Pty Ltd for providing incorrect location information about heritage sites in the management plans provided to both companies.

A spokesperson from the Department highlighted the importance of protecting aboriginal heritage sites in accordance with conditions and added all parties

cooperated in the compliance investigation.

“The Department’s compliance officers and the Office of Environment and Heritage will work with Boco Rock Windfarm to make sure any artefacts recovered from the disturbed sites are salvaged,” a spokesperson said.

“The Department also understands an independent archaeological expert has been engaged by the windfarm to carryout the salvage work.

“Our compliance officers conduct spot checks without warning, regular inspections and audits as well as work with companies to ensure they are sticking to the rules.

“The Department actively conducts compliance audits and also offers education and training.

“The Department can issue the highest on-the-spot fines in the country for breaches of conditions.

“The community is also encouraged to contact the Department with any concerns.

Complaints will be investigated by our compliance team.”

Taylor Wiggins, Mikalea Smith, Abby Freimanis and Heather Parsons learn how to extract DNA from Strawberries.

By Lucky Tran Last Friday, the STEM roadshow from Wollongong University visited Cooma to educate and encourage Monaro High School students about the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). This program forms part of an Enrichment Program at the high school. Travelling to a variety of schools around Australia, the university students that make up the STEM team demonstrated how everything taught in these subjects is applicable to life and is important for future employment prospects.

During the visit the students did a wide variety of activities that used each element of STEM. The science and engineering aspect saw students build rockets with a 1.25 litre coke

bottle and a few cardboard sheets.

They then used pressure to squirt water, further than it would usually go, to propel the rocket. Students also extracted DNA from strawberries.

A simulated race car, a drone used for photography, and a 3D printer demonstrated to students elements of the latest technology. In engineering, students and made different support beams using paddle pop sticks and a hot glue gun to see which type of beam could hold up the most weight.

Overall, all the students had a wonderful time learning new things and the importance of these fields to our society. “It was very educational and it will be interesting to see how the future of technology will turn out,� said Year 9 student Zara Childs.

INTERNATIONAL COMPOSTING

AWARENESS WEEK NSW marks Compost Week with a pat on the back for residents

NSW households can pat themselves on the back this International Compost Awareness Week, for their efforts to keep food and garden waste out of landfills and turned into valuable compost.

The NSW Environment Protection Authority’s (EPA) Chair and CEO, Barry Buffier, said over the past three years, NSW has invested more than $53 million in over 130 organics projects under its Waste Less, Recycle More initiative, including: t 5IF JOUSPEVDUJPO PG OFX PS JNQSPWFE LFSCTJEF DPMMFDUJPOT TFSWJDFT GPPE and/or garden waste for more than 450,000 NSW households, collecting an estimated extra 100,000 tonnes a year t NJMMJPO GPS OFX JOGSBTUSVDUVSF UP QSPDFTT BO FTUJNBUFE NPSF tonnes of food and garden waste into compost in NSW each year t OFX QSPKFDUT UPUBMMJOH NJMMJPO UP FYQBOE DPNNFSDJBM NBSLFUT GPS compost to increase demand for the recycled product. “Food and garden waste is by far the largest component of most household red lid bins going to landfill, collecting it to turn into compost is critical to us NFFUJOH UIF /48 (PWFSONFOU UBSHFU UP EJWFSU PG BMM XBTUF GSPN MBOEGJMM CZ

Mr Buffier said recycling organics waste from the kerbside into compost has multiple environmental benefits, including reducing emissions and leachate in landfill and improving water retention, nutrients and structure when the compost is returned to the soil.

When plastic is mixed with organics (food and garden waste) it contaminates the composting process, the plastic will not break down resulting in this resource all having to be landfilled. PLEASE REMEMBER TO ONLY PLACE ORGANIC MATERIAL (FOOD & GARDEN WASTE) INTO THE LIME GREEN LIDDED BIN this way Council can continue to produce a grade A Australian Standard Compost.

the

postman calls

The Federal Election is upon us; standby for weeks of relentless campaigning - at least we are three days in!

As voting time draws near in our neck of the woods we’ll all be focusing on forced council mergers and the culling of Kosi’s brumbies. Dire times indeed.

In Bombala they’re still not taking amalgamation lying down, with a public meeting being held next Tuesday to discuss the ongoing Fit for the Future saga and how rural councils can support each other in their efforts to stand alone.

Whether it’s the slaughter of wild horses or forced mergers, let’s hope the pollies have time to listen to what the community really wants while they ram their campaign messages down our throats!

Meanwhile, how about the weather last week? We’ve been expecting the frosty starts, but the sunny days that followed exceeded all hope.

In fact, last Saturday was the hottest May day that the Bombala district has experienced in 49 years, hitting a balmy 25 degrees.

Shame about the wind…and could the Monaro please have more rain?

A message from Mr Fairfax Dear Gail, With my best wishes, Sue Litchfield dropped in a copy of The Monaro Post yesterday as she visited briefly out here in the wilderness.

I thought I should send you a little note of congratulations on a wonderful community newspaper, starting as you did from scratch against an established publication that I think employed you for a while.

It is very sad for me to see the decline of so many papers formerly within the Rural Press portfolio, but The Monaro Post deserves every success.

John Fairfax Editor’s note: Part-owners of The Monaro Post, Tracy Frazer and Gail Eastaway both worked for Rural Press, Tracy as a sales representative for more than 10 years and Gail as journalist and later editor, from 2000 to 2006, having previously been editor of the Cooma-Monaro Express from 19851989 after completing her cadetship there in 1976.

Riposte Lisa Ashurst Well there’s another Mother’s Day been and gone and I hope that all you Mums out there had a lovely day, but here’s something I just have to ask, how many of you received an exciting 24 pack of beer? No, it’s okay, you read that correctly and the only reason I asked at all is because the ad on the telly for one of those bottle shop places was advertising their Mother’s Day specials and one of them was a really good price (apparently) on those bulk cartons of beer with the voiceover guy spouting “Mum will love that!”

Right. Mums the world over go into squeals of excitement upon receiving a carton of beer. Well no they don’t, not exactly. Mums like things like flowers, chocolates (the good ones), a book, a CD or a DVD. They also like things like perfume, body lotion or other personal indulgences. A pretty candle or scented oil/wax burner will also go down well as will lunch or dinner out at a nice restaurant, but for the life of me I have never heard a single woman say “Oh, I so hope I get a 24 pack of beer for Mother’s Day”. Not even if she likes the odd beer now and again!

Beer just isn’t a woman style present.

Nevertheless, this particular bottle shop chain was aiming all their specials at Mother’s Day, rattling off one discounted product

ADVERTISING & SUBSCRIPTIONS after another with all being passed off as ideal presents for the Mum in your life. Well unless she’s an alcoholic it’s highly unlikely she was hoping and wishing and praying for a bulk pack of beer.

Okay, she might have liked that bottle of Baileys but I think that may have been about it, assuming she wanted a bottle of something alcoholic in nature in the first place.

But that’s ads for you. Be it Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Valentine’s Day or whatever, there will be ads galore offering all manner of discounted products, some of which are in keeping with the nature of the day in particular and others that just don’t appear to be related at all.

Like a large carton of beer for Mum on Mother’s Day. It’s just not something she would be pining for, if you know what I mean.

I don’t mind the odd beer, however my Mother’s Day present was a very large, homemade chocolate mud cake with chocolate fudge icing, cream between the layers and topped all over with Malteasers! A chocolate lover’s dream if ever I saw one and all the nicer because the kids had made it especially for me. Looked amazing, and just goes to show there are alternatives to large cartons of beer.

On the other hand, perhaps they hadn’t seen the ad.

RE-ALARM YOUR HOME AGAINST FIRE Fire and Rescue NSW recommends that every house be fitted with the latest photoelectric smoke alarm.

It has been ten years since NSW mandatory smoke alarm legislation was passed. That means across NSW millions of smoke alarms are reaching their “best before date” and are due to be replaced.

As part of Fire and Rescue NSW’s “Re-alarm your home against fire” awareness campaign, throughout the month of May, NSW Fire and Rescue is asking all NSW residents to replace their smoke alarms.

The campaign is also wants us all to check up with ten friends or family members to ensure they update their smoke alarms also.

Fire and Rescue NSW suggest it’s also a good time to revisit or create your home escape plan, which with a working smoke alarm greatly increases your chances of getting out safely. A home escape template is found here http://www.fire.nsw.gov.au/realarm/escape.php

CLASS CORNER

Wednesday May 11, 2016

The University of Wollongong STEM CPS school speak off Roadshow comes to Snowy Mountains Grammar School for Innovation Week Snowy Mountains Grammar School started its first day back for Term 2 with a visit from Dr Bob Wheway from the University of Wollongong. The honorary professor travelled to Jindabyne with eight of his brightest students from the Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences to conduct a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Roadshow full of interactive activities with the SMGS students.

Activities on the day included 3D printing, flying drones, the extraction of the genome from strawberries, an introduction to flight using a bottle rocket launcher, water flow experiments, the making and testing of beams, exploring half-life, and driver training on an open-wheeler racer simulator.

Students commented that all the activities were equally exciting and engaging.

The UoW Roadshow’s goal is to travel the

state promoting STEMrelated subjects and careers to students from rural schools.

During his speech and question time, Dr Wheway emphasised to students the importance of undertaking studies in STEM-related subjects, owing to the everincreasing demand and opportunity in future careers that require Science, Technology and Mathematics knowledge and qualifications. It is for this reason that the Head of the School of Innovation and Design at SMGS, Mr Perry O’Connor, is entering the school in the University of Wollongong STEM competition this year.

This competition will promote excellence in STEM at SMGS and encourage students to undertake future STEMrelated careers.

Dr Bob Wheway and his students commented on the enthusiasm and aptitude that SMGS’ students demonstrated throughout the day.

Winners of the CPS School speak-off.

On Wednesday May 4, Cooma Public School’s community was entertained, informed and persuaded. 16 students made the final of the School Speak Off. We heard about Manners, Oceans, Monkeys and Time. Congratulations to all students who spoke with confidence. The results are as follows: Winner Stage 3 - Bella Cay Runner Up Stage 3 - Claudia

Bridgewater Winner Encouragement section Stage 2 - Eva Burke Runner Up Encouragement section Stage 2 - Leanne Adams Honourable mentions were give to Felix Allenspach, Ellie-Rose Morris and Penny Cay.

International education Communities across New South Wales are well placed to benefit from the growing opportunities in international education as the Turnbull Coalition Government releases Australia’s first national strategy for this vital sector.

Member for Eden-Monaro Dr Peter Hendy said the launch of the National Strategy for International Education 2025 will help Australia transition to a modern services and knowledgebased economy, with benefits extending to communities throughout the country.

International education was worth over $19 billion to the Australian economy in 2015 and created over 130,000 jobs nationally.

“On top of education expenditure, international students travel to communities and regions such as ours and use local retail, hospitality and tourism services – contributing even to our local economy and jobs,” Dr Hendy said.

“Part of the National Strategy is to make sure regional Australia continues

The NDIS benefits the whole Community The National Disability Insurance Scheme will start up across Southern NSW in approximately 50 days! A report from Dr Brendan Long, Senior Research fellow at Charles Sturt University states that the NDIS will create an “employment boom”.

The NDIS provides great opportunities for people with disability and their carers and also for the broader community. The goal of the NDIS is to provide people with disability more choice and control in their lives. This means people with disability will have more opportunity to be involved in community life, through employment or social connections. This will generate more demand in accommodation, hospitality, transport and other service industries. At the same time the demand for Disability Support Workers will grow.

It is estimated that the Disability Support workforce will double with the full roll out of the NDIS 2016 – 2018.

The Disability Trust is providing NDIS services in the ACT and will commence providing NDIS supports across South Eastern NSW on July 1. We are already finding the wonderful increase in life and employment options for people using our service has meant we are constantly recruiting for more workers.

If you are a person who may be eligible for the NDIS, a carer, interested community member and/or if you think you might be interested in a career in supporting people to live good lives please contact Virginia Fitzclarence at The Disability Trust, WorkAbility on (02) 6492 3222.

For more information about the NDIS see the NDIS website www.ndis.gov.au/about-us/contact-us/nsw, My Choice Matters www.mychoicematters.org.au/ and the Every Australian Counts Campaign www.everyaustraliancounts.com.au/

to benefit from the economic, cultural and social benefits of international education.

“Last year, 46,903 people in New South Wales were employed in jobs supporting this sector – helping to bolster economic growth across our region.

“The Government believes our National Strategy will help increase these numbers as we strive to make Australia the key choice for international students.”

Minister for Tourism and International Education Senator Richard Colbeck said it was important for Australia to continue to grow its share of the international education market.

Together with the National Strategy, the Government also released the Australian International Education 2025 market development roadmap and the Australia Global Alumni Engagement Strategy to ensure a coordinated, sector-wide approach to international education”.

COOMA’S TREES Many of the street trees within Cooma form a significant part of its heritage and connection to the Snowy Mountains Scheme.

Cooma is fortunate to have a climate that allows the seasons to be showcased through its trees and streetscapes.

The changing seasons mean that the characteristics of many of the trees not only provide a spectacular visual display of blossoms or autumn leaves but may also be cause for pedestrians to be a little more cautious.

Autumn leaves may cover the footpaths hiding any defects that are present and may also become slippery on damp or frosty days.

On frosty winter mornings ice may form on footpaths particularly in areas that are shaded by buildings or trees for long periods of time.

Fruit from some street trees may cause footpaths to become slippery or the cones from overhanging

SPECIAL PRESCHOOL STORY TIME branches of pine trees may drop from considerable heights at various times of the year.

Pedestrians are advised to take care when walking on footpaths covered with leaves, particularly on damp or frosty days and to be aware of overhanging tree branches.

Wednesday 25 May at 11am

Bombala High School news

In memory of Joanne Joseph.

Science and technology workshop.

The school community was saddened by the recent passing of revered local Joanne Joseph.

She and her family have been great supporters of BHS with all four of her children attending here. The school community commemorated Joanne’s passing with a non-uniform day held on Friday the 6th of May. Students were asked to wear something purple or white, which represents Joanne’s favourite colour or Mesothelioma a w a r e n e s s respectively.

Thank you to all Students and staff who made a donation or contributed a gold coin donation towards our sausage sizzle, all money raised will be donated to a Mesothelioma organisation of the Joseph family’s choice.

On Thursday, April 28, the STEM Road show (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) from the

University of Wollongong visited the Bombala High School and ran hands on workshops for Years 7-12. For the first time they modified their activities to include primary students from our local public schools, Bombala Public and Delegate School.

A group of Year K-2 students from Bombala Public School had a ball driving the racing car

simulator, the rockets made by a Delegate Public School were magnificent and the 3-D printer and drone demonstrations were very popular with the older students. Some weren’t aware that a drone could be used to herd sheep.

Students were able to gain an insight into the advanced technology that is on offer.

Noxious Weeds As an active member of the Local Land Services Regional Weeds Committee, Council is calling on all landholders, including all levels of government, to give management of noxious weeds the highest possible priority.

The new regional approach to managing weeds provides us with an opportunity to combat the spread of noxious weeds which impact on the productive of all rural enterprises and the broader environment. However to achieve this all landholders and importantly all levels of government must work together.

In light of the above, Council will be promoting at the regional level the adoption of a zero tolerance policy position on noxious weeds on all Council land and we are hoping that this position will be supported by all members of the Regional Committee.

‘Walking Free’ is Cielle’s first album Cooma musician Cielle Montgomery has just released her very first album. ‘Walking Free’ is a six track record of fresh songs with stunning vocals and enchanting lyrics.

Cielle grew up on a property in the beautiful Dry Plains area near Cooma with a family who has always loved music. She has fond memories of listening to Neil Young, John Williamson, Emmylou Harris and John Denver.

After working as a paramedic for about 11 years, mainly along the NSW south coast, Cielle says her music became a passion that she wanted to pursue more.

So with a change of interest, Cielle is now back in Cooma to revisit her roots and draw inspiration from the beautiful Snowy Mountain region.

A true country girl at heart Cielle now draws her inspiration from artists such as John Moreland, Bonnie Raitt, Alison Krauss, The Wailin’ Jennys, Bernard Fanning, Shane Nicholson, Norah Jones and Brandi Carlile among many others.

The mesmerising acoustic sound of ‘Walking Free’ is the result of Cielle’s careful selection of talented musicians who helped put her debut album together, including Glen Hannah (who also produced the album), double bassist Jonathan Zwartz and emerging Dobro player James Church. Recorded live

at the renowned Music Cellar Studios with engineer Jeff McCormack at the helm, followed by only minimal finishing touches from fiddle player Sue Carson and backing vocals from Felicity Urquhart.

With an alternative country twist, Cielle is not only a talented singer and guitarist, she is also a fantastic performer, adding charm to every event.

“I really enjoy good quality live music,” she says, “Performing allows me to tell my own story through music and it also gives me the opportunity to travel to all sorts of amazing places.”

C u r r e n t l y touring all over the country, from Sydney to the south coast and of course her own backyard, Cooma.

Cielle even had the opportunity to perform at the Tamworth Country Music Festival and the Hats Off to Country Festivals last year.

Cielle has a fantastic gig coming up in her hometown to officially launch her new album.

Taking place at the fantastic Catcher and Co Distillery at Pine Valley Estate on the Snowy Mountains Highway just south of Cooma, tickets are available

at www.ciellemontgomery. com.au. Supper and a drink are included in the ticket price and Cielle will also be doing some fundraising for LAOKO, the Snowy Mountains wildlife rescue service.

Contemporary design, wonderfully distinctive

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

INTEREST RATES DROP! The recent drop in interest rates by the Reserve Bank is the first movement by them in a year.

There has not been a rate rise since late 2010, and there are predictions for perhaps another drop later this year.

This is good news for those with an existing mortgage, or those contemplating buying a property.

Most of the Banks have passed on the full rate cut, and while most of the standard variable rates will still be around the 5.40% mark, I have the opinion that nobody should be paying the standard variable rate with any bank.

Depending on your loan amount, most banks offer an interest discount when you take out their loan package, (an annual fee is usually applicable). For those with a smaller loan amount, it is usually more beneficial to look at a ‘basic’ loan, which has lower interest rates & fees, but doesn’t include extra features on the loan. I can help you decide which is the best option for you.

Unfortunately, if you are relying on cash investment returns to live on, it is a different story. It may be time to consider using your cash or equity, to buy an investment property, as rental returns may be a better option for you.

Whether you are looking for a new loan, or wanting to review your existing one, I am happy to provide an obligation free assessment of your situation.

For investment advice, I can also arrange a meeting with Damian Toms, Financial planner.

To arrange an appointment, please contact me on mobile: 0431 351 873

Wednesday May 11, 2016

Time for carp to disappear European carp in NSW are in the Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sights, with $15 million committed in the 2016 Budget for a historic plan to rid our waterways of one of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most damaging pests within 30 years.

Federal Member for Eden-Monaro Dr Peter Hendy said the National Carp Control Plan outlines the intended release of a carp-specific herpes virus, to help manage common carp in Eden-Monaro and across Australia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, based on cutting-edge biological controls and backed by the best available science,â&#x20AC;?

Dr Hendy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carp have progressively decimated native fish populations across the country and reduced water quality since it became established in Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waterways in the 1960s, including here in Eden-Monaro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen carp muddy our river systems, uproot vegetation, cause erosion, contribute to algal blooms, and drive many species of native fish to the brink of extinction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The economic impact of common carp has been estimated at up to $500 million a year, and they make up 80 to 90 per cent of fish biomass in the Murray-Darling Basin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our current methods of controlling carp,

such as trapping and commercial fishing, are expensive and just havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This plan will be based on the potential release of a biological control agent that only affects carp, (Cyprinid herpesvirus 3) by the end of 2018, and will identify other complementary methods needed to meet our aim of eradicating the species within three decades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As much as people may want the virus released immediately, we need to ensure it is safe, along with developing strategies around the clean-up program and use of harvested carp biomassâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with carp biomass in our waterways estimated at between 500,000 tonnes and 2 million tonnes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The plan will focus on maximum impact on carp populations, and minimum disruption to industries, communities and the environment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The CSIRO and the NSW Department of Primary Industries and the Invasive Animals CRC have undertaken years of work to get us to this point, and it is looking very promising. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know people in Eden-Monaro will be deeply interested in the detail, which is why there will be stakeholder consultation throughout the process so our community and people who use our waterways have a chance to provide input.â&#x20AC;?

The impact of hydatid disease in Australian beef cattle A survey of more than 780,000 cattle slaughtered in NSW between 2013 and 2015 revealed that 5.5 per cent were infected with hydatid disease.

Hydatid disease results from accidental ingestion of eggs of the tiny â&#x20AC;&#x153;hydatidâ&#x20AC;? tapeworm that infects domestic and wild canids.

According to Dr David Jenkins, who will discuss the impact of the disease at the Australian Veterinary Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Annual Conference, these figures represent a financial loss to the abattoir of more than $450,000 from disposal of offal not fit for human consumption. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other annual losses included $1,200,000 due to reduced body weight of animals infected with hydatids â&#x20AC;&#x201C;an unrealised loss for farmers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These results suggest

that there are important financial impacts in cattle production due to hydatid disease. A vaccine developed for sheep against the disease has been trialled with cattle but it will be sometime before this vaccine could become commercially available,â&#x20AC;? Dr Jenkins said.

Hydatid disease leads to fluid-filled cysts in the lungs and liver, and less commonly in the spleen and heart. The major source of infection in cattle is from worm eggs shed by wild dogs and foxes, not domestic dogs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Infection in rural domestic dogs is now uncommon as a result of the development of highly effective wormers for dogs and dry dog food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The disease was introduced into Australia during European settlement with infected sheep and dogs. Little was known about the disease back then and it became a public health issue causing the deaths and debilitation of many colonists.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wide transmission of the disease between wild dogs and marsupials along the entire eastern side of Australia, particularly in high rainfall areas.

Transmission to sheep via wildlife occurs on farms located next to national parks or state forests containing wild dogs that enter the farms and defecate on the pasture.

The infection situation is widespread in cattle grazed in rougher bushblocks where wild dogs are also present. This grazing practice exposes cattle to eggs which are ingested accidentally while grazing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through identification of these high risk areas there may be a better chance of controlling the spread of hydatid disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the vaccine becomes a commercial reality, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real possibility of eliminating hydatid disease in these high-risk areas, leading to increased profitability for cattle production.â&#x20AC;?

The Australian Veterinary Association Annual Conference will be held 22-27 May at the Adelaide Convention Centre.

GRASSROOTS

Wednesday May 11, 2016

The 2016 Winter Crop Variety Sowing Guide is now available from the Cooma and Bombala offices of South East Local Land Services. The guide, produced by NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI), is a free publication and very useful for farmers who are growing or considering the growing of crops. It is designed to help select the most suitable variety as well as providing updated technical information from the latest research, extension and industry programs in relation to winter crop production across NSW. This annual publication contains valuable up-todate information to assist in crop variety selection and their preferred sowing times; determining the growth stages of cereal crops to aid timely management decisions; how to manage grazing cereals including critical nutritional comments relating to livestock productivity and health; identification of insects in grain options for their control; the use of cereal, canola and pulse seed dressings; the use of cereal foliar fungicides registered in 2016 on winter cereals; and the use of canola and pulse foliar fungicides registered in 2016.

The guide contains

agronomic, storage, harvest and marketing information on all the major winter crops; wheat, oats, barley, triticale, cereal rye, canola, chickpea, faba bean, field pea and lupin. Each year results for the NSW component of the National Variety Trials are collated and presented in the guide to help farmers make more informed variety choice decisions based on dry matter and grain yield performance.

There is also very useful information included on disease tolerance or susceptibility of all winter crop varieties. As part of this, photographs are presented to help producers understand the meaning of the Stripe Rust ratings used to classify Stripe Rust tolerance in winter cereals.

Beef Information Field Day at Gunyah Local Land Services (LLS) hosted a Beef Information Day at Gunyah near Cooma last week, with guest speaker Jeff House.

Local cattle farmers attended the day, which involved discussions of herd management for maximising fertility, producing and marketing beef, conducting live animal assessment, and bull and heifer selection.

Mr House is the principal of Jeff House Livestock. Having worked for the NSW DPI as a Beef Livestock Extension Officer for 16 years, he left to begin his own consulting business in 2014.

Mr House’s experience and expertise was well received by the Monaro farmers.

“Most of what I wanted to get across here today was the importance of tight joinings and calvings,” said Mr House, “A six week joining period for heifers and a nine week joining period for cows is ideal. What we want is a easy-care herd that calve down unassisted.”

“What I really wanted to get across is that you have to keep selecting for fertility. Be consistent in your decision making and never compromise on fertility.”

“Most of the people that came today already had a good handle on these practises, so it was more fine tuning for them. But then we also had some people who are pretty new to cattle, so it was a good mix.”

Getting some hands on tips, Mr House took the party to Rob Hain’s yards to look at a selection of his Hereford heifers.

Mr House told the farmers that it is best to assess for fat first, stressing that if an animal looks big and impressive, it can sometimes mean their fat score is too high.

“Ideally you want to be working with a fat score of two to four,” he said. “If the fat score gets too high, you can have fat start to develop around the internal organs and this will make the animals lazy in calving.”

Visually, Mr House said things to look at are fat in the brisket, softening on the flank and around the tail head. However he said that to get a more accurate assessment, you need to feel the animal’s short ribs, rib cage and around the hip and pin bones for softness.

If cattle do have a higher fat score, Mr House suggested putting them in a steeper paddock to get them fitter.

“You want a higher level of muscle,” said Mr House, “The better the muscle, the higher retail you will get and the better you will do at market. It is also sometimes best to just let the bull decide who are the better heifers, as they will choose the ones who are in best condition to calve.”

After looking at the heifers, Mr House moved on to bulls, where he said structure is crucial “You have to get the structure right,” he said, “Even if the muscle is really good, if the structure isn’t there, it’s no good. You have to be really on the ball, and one of the most important things is the back legs.”

“When it comes to servicing a cow, all the weight of the bull will be on its back legs,” he said, “Therefore, what you need to look for is the angle in the back legs to allow for cushioning when they land off the cow, but not too excessive so that they may fall backwards when servicing the cow.”

“When the bull is walking, you want the back foot to land where the front foot left from.

When standing, you want the feet planted firmly on the ground and squarely under the animal. Having the feet turned in can result in them being bowlegged, which is worse than if they are slightly turned out.”

Mr House’s tip for identifying if a Top: Consultant Jeff House of Forbes gives tips on bull has straight legs is if the animal how to pick the best bull at Gunyah last Wednesday. has blocky hooves, caused by Middle: Jeff House and Gunyah Hereford Stud dragging of the front of the hoof.

“Choosing a bull is very Principal Rob Hain at the LLS Beef Information Day. important,” said Mr House, “In Below: The crowd of Monaro farmers taking a the end, over a period of about look at some Hereford heifers to assess for 6 years, you will get about eight fat and muscle in the animals. calves from a female, but you’ll get about 300 from a bull.”

Farmers welcome LLS being restructured changes to advisory changes to local jobs committee NSW Farmers has welcomed NSW Primary Industries Minister Niall Blairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement of changes to the NSW Regional Assistance Advisory Committee (RAAC).

NSW Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; President, Derek Schoen has described the changes as an important step to ensuring the NSW Government receives direct advice on existing and likely drought conditions as it makes decisions on assistance measures under the NSW Drought Framework. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We only have to look at the plight of our farmers in the north west of the state, who are entering their fourth year of drought, to know it is the number one production risk for farmers in NSW,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Mr Schoen. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The changes will see the number of farmers represented on the Committee increase, with two appointed farmer representatives joining the chair of NSW Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rural Affairs Committee, Sonia Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe, on RAAC. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The announcement recognises the assessment of seasonal conditions, such as drought, and the options available to support resilient farming business and communities through adverse seasonal conditions should be informed by those directly impacted. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;These appointments will complement the direct advocacy NSW Farmers continues to make on behalf of our farming membership directly to the Minister and the NSW Government on drought policy.

NSW Farmers has signaled a need for the new arrangements to both improve the advice provided to the Government and provide a whole of government focus to the implementation of drought assistance initiatives through its engagement with the Drought Interagency Working Group. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Maximising agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution to the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy and providing the stability to our important regional communities that will enable them to flourish across the variable seasons we face requires a whole of government approach. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It is an imperative that the new arrangements enable RAAC to be a conduit within Government to implement measures that enhance drought preparedness, to ensure resilient businesses and communities during drought and provide pathways to recovery as seasons return to normal.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mr Schoen also thanked outgoing Chair of RAAC, Mr David Palmer for his leadership of RAAC since its inception. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;RAAC commenced at a difficult time for drought policy across Australia and in NSW with the dismantling of the former Exceptional Circumstances policy. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;His knowledge of agriculture and his influence across industry and government have been important to guiding RAAC through this time,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mr Schoen concluded.

Action on Senate inquiries welcomed NSW Farmers has welcomed this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s release of the Interim report into the effect of market consolidation on the red meat processing sector and the government response to the same Committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Inquiry into Research & Development levies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both these inquiries have been geared toward enlivening the competitiveness and accountability of our sector,â&#x20AC;? said NSW Farmers President Derek Schoen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As farmers, we expect properly functioning markets and where we pay levies; we expect to be consulted on how they are spent.

Both of these inquires have created a focus on transparency and accountability in agriculture and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing for growers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We recognise that the investigation into market consolidation is going to take some time. We welcome the deliberative approach to the issue and we look forward to further examination of the supply chain through the ACCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cattle and Beef Market Study. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Action on price disclosure and concerted practices are welcome directions. They could enliven

competitive tension in agricultural trade and allow us to enjoy the hotly contested markets that the production of our premium produce deserves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Committee should be congratulated on this interim report.â&#x20AC;?

The Government response to the Primary Industries Levies inquiry is another welcome development for farmers with commitments to additional measures of transparency and accountability. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These inquiries have clearly provided a footing for much needed reform in our sector,â&#x20AC;? Mr Schoen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Research and Development Corporations are doing fantastic work for agriculture. Some of the current R&D is world-class and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect that those RDCs would welcome the ability to directly connect with their levy payers to promote that good work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If farmers are to reap the benefits of the coming soft commodity boom then we must be committed to reform based on transparency and accountability, and a functional market that rewards farmers for growing the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best.â&#x20AC;?

A restructure of the South East Local Land Services (LLS) will be beginning at the end of the month.

Phase one will involve change of the local manager roles.

With no net loss of jobs, General Manager Derek Larsen says that 50 per cent of the existing team would have to apply for their redefined roles as part of the structure.

This is phase two of the process, expected to take place in September.

The Bombala office is set to close, with only a service depot similar to the existing depot in Boorowa to remain open, manned by operational staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The announcement was made on Friday April 29 that LLS are changing our management plan to an integrated service delivery model,â&#x20AC;? says South East General Manager Derek Larsen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The model adopted in 2014 was expected to be an efficient and operational model however it has not eventuated that way, lacking accountability and having poor line of sight.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new system will involved a local manager working with a local team to implement a local plan into the community, supported by regional expertise.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The focus is to improve all elements of our business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The change of roles will help to improve the quality of our services.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Larsen said that some employees

might well lose their jobs, depending on the recruitment process.

He encouraged employees to make the best of the process and of the redefined roles.

Some of the roles that will be changing as a result of this restructure, and therefore require reapplication, include customer service, which will be raised to a Grade 4 position rather than a Grade 3, and biosecurity roles, which will also be raised to a higher grade.

The Cooma offices in Soho Street at Dawson Street will be combined into one office, with all staff under the one roof.

New Australian book celebrates our iconic working dogs Dunrobin Castle is a stately home located a mile north of Golspie in Sutherland on the east coast of the Scottish Highlands. With fairytale spires and turrets, which rise above the North Sea like an illustration from a storybook. This beautiful castle has been the inspiration to many fanciful stories, including the early history of the Kelpie breed. For more than 100 years stories of early Rutherford Collies,

Dunrobin Castle Golspie North Scotland. which supposedly originated from Dunrobin Castle and later, credited as being the sole progenitors to the early Kelpie type.

Did these Rutherford Collies really come from Dunrobin Castle?

What influence, if any, did the Rutherford Collies really have on the Kelpie breed?

Answers to these and many other questions relating to the early Kelpie type are comprehensively covered in ORIGINS OF THE AUSTRALIAN KELPIE. written by Bill Robertson.

Testimonials: Tony Parsons is the foremost authority on Australian Kelpie I have just had the pleasure of reading Bill Robertsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recently published book â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Origins of the Australian Kelpieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which sets out to expose the myths and fabrications from the past. This beautifully produced and exhaustively researched publication is, in so far as the early history of the Kelpie is concerned, by far the most complete work on the subject that I have read in my 70 odd years association with the Kelpie.

Robertson follows the trail from the very earliest â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Kelpiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to the efforts of John Quinn and King and McLeod to produce outstanding dogs for the huge flocks of sheep which helped to make Australia into a nation. Of particular interest is the detailed information about the individuals and families which contributed- sometimes in a major and sometimes in a minor way- to the Kelpieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s propagation.

While there are still questions to be answered about the Kelpieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s makeup, this book certainly fills up most of the blanks as the result of meticulous research and on-the-spot recording of people and places relevant to the formation of the Kelpie from Scottish collies. Nor does Robertson shrink from dealing with the question of Australian dingo in some strains of Kelpie.

This is a remarkable book and made more so because Robertson has been very ill over a long period with grave doubts about whether he would survive to complete the

work. Admiration for the Kelpie and what it has meant to a burgeoning wool industry kept him toiling away until the bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eventual completion.

This is a splendid book and one that should survive the ages...................

Tony Parsons, OAM, FAGI. Author and historian, Mr Robin Lovell stated: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Never before has an examination of the Kelpie breed undergone such ruthless scrutinyâ&#x20AC;?

During the past 150 years, the early Kelpie history was virtually unknown. It was left to past authors to let their imaginations flow, and create those stories which best suited Kelpie breeders during that early period. Their imaginations and speculations had no boundaries. Tales of Kelpies originating in Italy, Africa and various parts of the continent, then, back to the United Kingdom where they supposedly pulled Kelp from the ocean. Finally, they found favour in a royal castle in the far north of Scotland. As will be shown, all those fabrications had little relationship to what really happened. For the first time, the fables from the past have once and for all been put to rest. For better or worse, the gaps in the Kelpie history have been replaced with facts which exposed an unexpected, totally new and indisputable history. From the north of Scotland to the outback of Australia and everywhere in between, wherever contributions to the evolution of the Kelpie breed occurred, Bill and Kerry Robertson followed the Kelpie ancestral trail gathering information from personal diaries, eye witness accounts, newspapers and government records. This comprehensive research yielded new and startling information from the people who lived during the relevant period.

Other collie types that worked in early Australia were also closely examined. It was their inability to meet all the requirements of Australian stock-people that led to the birth of the Kelpie breed. Of course, no story of collies that worked in early Australia could be told without the inclusion of the Dingo or the Australian wool industry. After all, the Wool industry was the reason for their very existence.

International: 61353681376 Aust: 0353681376 Dingo Involvement:With the passing of the wolf, the shepherdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life changed, as did the need for ferocious guard dogs. Without fear from savage attack, sheep now had the freedom to graze out of sight where heavy vegetation and undulating ground concealed their presence from the shepherd. Gathering these free roaming sheep from their extended boundaries presented a new challenge. It was way beyond the shepherdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to gather fleet footed sheep in the hills and rugged environment.

Small crofter farmers provided the solution. They used the so called â&#x20AC;&#x153;nativeâ&#x20AC;? collie (North Country collies) to retrieve sheep from their new boundless territory. These native collies had the speed and sagacity to gather sheep from the high precipitous mountainous regions of the highlands. Many years later, in the new colony of Australia, pastoralists faced the same issues as early shepherds did in the United Kingdom.

The only difference, this time the predator was a distant cousin to the wolf (Cannis Lupus Dingo), or the dreaded Australian Dingo.

Prior to white settlement, Dingoes were the primary predators and for thousands of years, they roamed the continent without a worry in the world. These carnivores hunted in packs and killed for food and pleasure. Then, to the delight of the dingoes, millions of sheep and cattle were introduced with the dingoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolute approval. Virtually overnight their menu changed to a smorgasbord of lamb, mutton and beef. Supply of these delicious delicacies was assured and they feasted and gorged themselves until content. Like all good things in life it had to end, which it did abruptly. Dingoes were classified as vermin to be shot on sight! The same extermination technique used to rid wolves and protect sheep in the United Kingdom were adopted by shepherds in Australia. These blood thirsty carnivores had no place amongst the valuable and prized merino flocks.

The penalty for crossbreeding, or not reporting the presence of a dingo in some States was up to twenty pounds.

In the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Forbes Timesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the Pastures and Stock Protection board â&#x20AC;&#x153;generously offered a reward of ÂŁ1 for every native dog scalp brought to them.

For years, debate has continued to rage about the purity of the Kelpie breed, heated debates denied the dingo infusion. It was against the law to breed or keep crossbred dingoes and heavy fines were imposed, so naturally if someone did have a part- bred, it was vehemently denied. Today, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to understand the resistance or failure of some to accept that dingoes were involved in the genetic makeup of the Kelpie breed. Recent DNA tests absolutely confirmed that dingo genes are present in the Kelpie DNA, and yet, some people still persist and continue the myth relating to the purity of the Kelpie strain which will be shown to be pure fantasy.

Today, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to comprehend the continued concealment of dingo genetics. Their contribution to the Kelpie breed should not be measured in terms of improved working ability because that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen. In fact, at times it had a negative impact. It was the second, maybe the third generation which had the desired effect. That is, the collieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sagacity and technical working qualities were retained and their timid weakness replaced by tenacious spirit. When the genetic blend was right, it produced the obvious difference between a collie and a Kelpie.

Schute Bell wool report

Wool prices continued on from last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s positive gains with the aid of favourable exchange rates. A greater than 5% fall in the Aussie dollar against the US over the past 2 weeks has led to the same magnitude jump in the Eastern Market Indicator. The market has remained practically unchanged in US dollars over this period but is 51 cents dearer here. At the time of writing this report the Aussie dollar had continued to slip and has fallen below 74 cents which should mean if things continue to follow the same pattern that we can look forward to another positive week coming up. 34,125 bales were sold nationally for the week with a low passed in rate of 5% considering there was almost double the average amount of re-offered wool in the national catalogues. Major buyers included Chinatex, Techwool & Lempriere.

AWTA test data released on Tuesday still shows the national clip shrinking with a 1.7% drop in April bringing the season to date fall in production to 5.2% which is broadly in line with the AWEX auction offering statistics.

National auctions offerings are heading towards a seasonal low point during May and June.

This Weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sales 35,742 bales are expected to be on offer nationally with 9,558 in Sydney. Schute Bell, Wool Auctions, Goddard & Monaro Wool are selling on Wednesday the 11th of April.

In preparation for Bombala Bike Show

Bombala Bike Show Committee President, Darren Cotterill and Andrew Barber of Canberra Motorcycle Centre in the Indian section of the store. As part of this year’s Bike Show an Indian Scout Sixty will be raffled off, with limited tickets available to give buyers a 1 in 500 chance of winning.

Wednesday May 11, 2016

The Bombala Bike Show Committee is pleased to be welcoming a good number of volunteers to its monthly meetings.

“We are progressing really well and this year’s show looks set to be a great one,” said Committee President, Darren Cotterill.

At this stage it looks as though three different local bands will perform, along with some individual local talent including Renee Ingram and Ben Fuiono.

The Committee is also working on securing a stunt riding team to come and do some demonstrations, and already there are quite a few trade stalls booked in, including Dalmeny Ice Creams A Plenty, Get Plugged, Ragino Coffee and Sea 2 You Seafood. Beyond this the group is trying to secure the Harley Custom Shop trailer.

Meanwhile plans are underway for a Motorbike Gymkhana which will feature around five or six events, including a slow race and a push a keg race among other ideas.

The Show’n’Shine event will have a $5 entry fee per bike, but each bike can enter into as many categories as the owner would like.

And in what will be crowd-pleasing news, the

Burnout Competition and Tattoo Competition will both be taking place at the 2016 Bike Show.

“We also welcomed a new treasurer to the committee at our last meeting,” said Darren, “thanks to Nicole Franklin-Hentscher for stepping into the role.

“We have a great raffle this year, giving entrants a one in 500 chance of winning a new black Indian Scout Sixty from Canberra Motorcycle Centre.

Tickets are $100 each and are available online at the website, but only 500 tickets will be sold in total.

“We are working hard on trying to get the word out as far and wide as we can so that we can bring as many people as possible to our beautiful town for this event.”

You can find all the details at www. officialbombalabikeshow.com or follow on Facebook at www.facebook/thebombalabikeshow.

“We welcome all suggestions on how we can make this the best show for the attendees and for local businesses so if you have any suggestions or comments please let us know,” Darren said.

Snowy Mountains Interschools Equestrian Competition

Snowy Mountains Grammar School hosted the 16th annual Interschools Equestrian Competition last week at the Station in Jindabyne.

This event is growing each year and is now one of the biggest equestrian schools’ events held across NSW. This year 220 riders from 61 schools competed over the four-day competition, which included a OneDay Event, Combined Training, Dressage, a 6-Bar Jumping Competition, Showjumping, Sporting, an Interschools Challenge, a Stockmans Challenge and Team Penning.

Judges for each of the sections came from Sydney, the far south coast and Canberra to cast their professional eyes over the competitors as they competed in each of the events.

This year the school was lucky enough to have some generous sponsorship from Horseland Fyshwick, Mitre 10 Jindabyne, Cocina Mexican Bar and Bistro, Resort Trailers, Horsezone, Snowy River Horseback Adventures, BCB Crane Hire, and Snowy Mountains Performance Horses, enabling beautiful horse rugs to be presented to the section winners for each event.

Despite some very bad weather which forced the final day of competition to be cancelled this year, the other three days were magnificent and riders and their families enjoyed the best of the Monaro as they rode very competitively amid strong competition.

The schools competition was won by Jindabyne Central School, from Snowy Mountains Grammar and St Patrick’s Parish School in Cooma. Individual overall pointscore winners in each age group were Hunter Dibden, Narooma PS, from Ruby Jane Ling, Jerrabomberra; Sienna Smee, St Peter’s and Paul’s Kiama, from Jane Casey, Covenant Christian School; Brooke Caroline Ellis, St Joseph’s O’Connor, from Abby Douch, St Patrick’s Cooma; Shelley Kleven, St Patrick’s Cooma, from Ella Dennis, Jindabyne Central; Tahlia Cowan, Galston Girls, from Lisa Haylock, St Patrick’s Cooma; Caitlin Reid, Narooma HS, from Grace Aksila, Mackillop College ACT; Imogen Thew, Arndell College, from Georgia Fort, Canberra Girls Grammar; Esther Black, Bega HS, from Geneva Guy, Jindabyne Central; Jane Fitzgerald, Yanco Ag, Molly Britten, Bega HS, from Georgie Batten, Arndell College.

After morning tea, the drivers will head on to the Snowy River Way, drive to the Monaro Hwy and turn right to Bombala for Lunch and Judging. In the afternoon the cars will return to Cooma via the Monaro Hwy, the Snowy River Way and Maffra Road. On Sunday, the cars will once again start from the Clubhouse and drive to Countegany via Numeralla and then return to Clubhouse.

Stallions feel the Heelers bite!

The Cooma Stallions took on Bombala in their most physical game of the season with the score neck and neck for the majority of the game.

After training well on Thursday, The Stallions failed to show up against Bombala, slipping away from their set plays and coming away with a low completion rate.

Coach Todd Williams said he was disappointed with the way his team played but gave credit to the way Bombala played.

“Not taking anything away from Bombala. They played their best game of the season,” he said.

Poor completion rates by both teams saw the score locked at 12 all at half time with ball control and illdiscipline being Cooma’s focus going in to the second half.

The second half was better for The Stallions with a return to structure and keeping the ball in hand.

Bombala shot out to a 24-12 lead but Cooma pegged it back in the last 10 minutes to bring the score line to two points.

Williams crashed over the line at full time and thought he had secured the win for his team but a forward pass was called seeing the Stallions miss out on the win 24-22.

Jimmy Boller was a standout player for The Stallions and has been in outstanding form this season.

Richie Bensley got three points, Kyle High got two points and players player and Astin Nunan got one point.

Next weekend The Stallions take on Bega at the Cooma Showground.

The Cooma Fillies will be kicking off at 10.30am followed by the U/18, reserve grade and first grade Stallions. The community is encouraged to get down and witness what guarantees to be an excellent day of entertainment.

Tough battle for under 18s

An early start for the Under 18’s Stallions travelling to Bermagui to take on Eden.

The boys won the toss and elected to kick off. The boys were quick to get on the board with a good run from dummy half by Matthew Robinson.

The conversion was unsuccessful. A powerful run by Liam Rankin took the score to 8 nil, another blistering run by Liam for his second took the score to 12 nil.

Next try was to Eden taking the

score to 12 – 6.

Eden found the try line again taking the score to 12 – 10. Carson Barrett broke the line to make some valuable metres.

Matthew Robinson scored his second try, conversion successful to Rhayne Simpson. Sloppy play from Cooma saw Eden score again taking the score into half time 18 – 20.

Cooma come out strong with Carson Barrett scoring at the end of the first set of six.

Jake Hedger converted to take the score to 24 – 20. Strong runs from the boys saw most of the play being in Eden’s half.

Eden hit back with a quick try locking up the scores. Some sloppy defence and silly penalties saw Eden score again with the full time score being 32 – 24 in Eden’s favour.

Players player went to Dan Swain.

Come and Try roller skiing with Snowy Mountains nordic group The newly formed local cross country ski group, Snowy Mountains Nordic (a subsidiary of NSWXC), is holding a Come and Try Roller Skiing day on Saturday at the Jindabyne Central School.

This free event is best suited to anyone aged 8 to 18 and all equipment is provided. Participants will be coached in the basics of roller skiing technique which can then be transferred to the Perisher Cross Country trails once the snow falls.

Session times are 11am, noon and 1pm and each session will run for 1 hour.

A similar day was held several years ago, with many of the participants going on to form the Jindy Juniors cross country skiing group which is still thriving.

The sessions are led by local cross country skiers, Tim Greville (former National XC Ski Coach) and Anthony Evans (three-time Winter Olympian), who are keen to see more local kids take up the sport. The Jindy Juniors meet every Monday afternoon for roller skiing or other dryland training, and on Saturdays in winter for on snow sessions on the Perisher

cross country trails. The emphasis is on having fun rather than serious racing, although some of the group have gone on to make the NSW state junior squad.

All interested juniors are invited to attend the roller skiing day on the 14th. Tracksuit pants and long sleeved shirts are recommended. Bike helmets are essential.

Due to equipment limitations, this activity is best suited to people aged eight and up, but Snowy Mountains Nordic will be conducting on-snow sessions for all ages during the coming winter.

To RSVP or for more information, email info@smnordic.org. au (or just turn up).

Snowy Mountains Nordic is a subsidiary of NSWXC. We are a locally based cross country ski group that welcomes Snowy Mountains’ residents of all ages, skill levels and abilities. Our aim is to encourage a fun and social environment for both families and individuals, including a development program for local juniors wishing to improve their cross country skiing.

Bushpigs have a great rugby weekend The Jindbyne Bushpigs had a hugely successful weekend of rugby this weekend, living up to their name of being “A Social Club with a Rugby Problem” once again.

Friday night saw the 20 year reunion of the 1996 Grand Final winning team, hosted by our major sponsor the Lake Jindabyne Hotel. It was a great pleasure to welcome the ’96 Premiers back and to have them join in the rest of the club festivities for the weekend.

Saturday morning saw three of the four Junior teams, the mighty Piglets, head on out on what will be the first of many Saturday morning commutes in 2016.

The club is proudly fielding four Piglets JRUC Junior teams this year, Under 10s, Under 11s, Under 12s who all opened their season with victories, while the Under 14s had the bye.

Happily, the Senior’s team settled the score with Batemans Bay, with their third victory on the trot, winning 36-26 in another entertaining game. For full match reports, see below.

During the Little Miss Piglet’s game and on into the Seniors, JJ Connor’s Oval and the Bushpigs were proud to host to the Snowy Mountains Motorcycle Club Charity Ride for Bella. Finally, a big thanks to the LAOKO Rescues Volunteers who manned the Canteen at the grounds for us, and did a wonderful job.

Bushpigs win the Battle of the Bacon It was the battle of the bacon as the Jindabyne Bushpigs took on the Boars from Batemans Bay, and the Bushpigs brought it home with a 36-26 home victory.

Early on it looked like the Bushpigs might run away with the match, piling on two early tries. However the Boars enjoyed the majority of possession as Jindabyne conceded plenty of penalties, to keep in touch with a couple of tries of their own.

For the Bushpigs, winger Tim Burgess (Snowy Mountains Physio) crossed first, fullback Lucas Rixon (Rhythm Sports) bagged another and Simon Rudd (Snow FM) scored an excellent solo effort, scooping up the ball from a restart to immediately strike back after Jindabyne had conceded a five-pointer. Jindabyne had its nose in front at the break, leading 19-14.

The second half again started with a flurry, with Jindabyne extending its

lead through an early try to Kris Jones (Woolworths) in his first start on the wing.

However Batemans Bay refused to give up and Jindabyne continued to concede penalties and possession. The Boars remained within reach til a late Bushpigs try sealed the victory. Halfback Connor Duncombe (The Brumby Bar and Bistro) scored in his final match for the Bushpigs, and will be sorely missed both on and off the field as he departs to Queensland.

Centre Rob Morris (Karteve Constructions) rounded out the scoring, with a try and three conversions to his name.

The Bushpigs were too good for the visitors, especially out wide as was reflected in tries to each of the back three.

They earned their third win on the trot in the six tries to four triumph.

Coach Matt Caldwell said it would be back to the drawing board for the Bushpigs, seeking to improve their discipline as they prepare for a tough away match against Bungendore in two weeks time.

Coach’s points went to fullback Lucas Rixon (Rhythm Sports) (3 points), hooker Luke Tiene-Costello (High Country Firewood) (2 points), and prop Steven Romppanen (Snowy Mountains Crash Repairs) (1 point), while halfback Connor Duncombe (The Brumby Bar and Bistro) was awarded Player’s Player.

JUNIORS U/11s huge win in first game of 2016 The Under 11 Piglets played their first game of the season against Uni/Norths in Canberra on Saturday.

They only had 10 players available but they were all excited to play.

Under 11s after their first win Some solid defence resulted in Patrick running away for the last try of the match. Patrick also kicked five conversions and Cal Golby kicked one. All players had great games with Charlie Deacon getting Players Player in his first game. Coaches points went to Mac Livissianos, Charlie Deacon and Jock Harding.

Under 12’s win 14-0

By Andrew Threw In the second half we had still kept the home side scoreless, there were a few mistakes and some dangerous high tackles

one of which on Angus who had to go off in pain, but bravely returned a short time later. Nearing the end off of the back of a good backline move, Fletcher Thew raced away with some blinding pace to score a length of the field try and was converted by Oscar Sassal. The Vikings played well but not well enough to beat the mighty Bush Pigs who won 14-0.

Coaches Award went to Oscar Sassal.

Brock Freeburn was awarded with man of the match.

Little Miss Piglets impress at home Undaunted, the Under 14s girls joined our five Under 16s players, to make a mixed team of 12, playing nine a side full contact, for four 10 minute quarters. Led from the front by Captain Kirra Burke, the Little Miss Piglets got away to a quick start, scoring on the first play of the game, and leading for the majority of Jess Sergo dominating throughout.

In a display of sportsmanship typical of the Jindabyne Piglets, the far more experienced Kirra passed the ball off to junior Kayla Thaw, allowing her to score under the posts in her second game of Rugby, sending the home team into the break up 4 tries to 3.

Congratulations to Amy Thrum, who was a tackling machine and impressed with her skills and determination; Kayla Thaw for her fantastic support play; Baili Pendergast, Annissa Porter, Olivia Giorgiutti & Amity Hamilton for their strong and confident running breaks; and Alexis LeeWicks on her debut. Special thanks again to Kirra, Rhianna, Ella, Jess and Caz for their superb leadership and generosity to their much younger and less experienced team mates, and a shout out to injured played Kayla Croker who was there cheering on the girls, and will be back out there in time for the next fixture.

Red Devils gallant in defeat against Uni-Norths The Red Devils travelled to Canberra on Saturday to take on Uni-Norths who had moved to third place on the ladder after a one point win over Young and Cooma’s loss to Hall in the previous round.

This was a must win game for Cooma and the match started well when Ryan Morgan kicked a penalty goal to put the Red Devils in front 3-0. A try to Pat Egan mid way through the first half pushed Cooma’s lead to 8-0. However Uni-Norths was able to get back to within a point with a converted try soon after. In what was a great game of rugby, the play flowed from end to end but it was Uni-Norths who were able to gain the advantage with another converted try to lead 14-8 at half time.

Darcy Larritt was able to cross the line for Cooma in the early stages of the second half but Ryan Morgan missed the conversion and Cooma now trailed 14-13.

Uni-Norths responded with an unconverted try to lead 19-13. As the pressure mounted some ill-discipline crept into both teams resulting in yellow cards to Darcy Larritt and Uni-Norths’ second rower.

A penalty goal stretched Uni-Norths’ lead to 22-13 before James Thompson scored his first try in the top grade. The conversion attempt from the sideline was unsuccessful and Uni-Norths held the lead 22-18.

Darcy Larritt was then unlucky to infringe in the ruck after the referee warned both teams and was given a second yellow card which became a red card leaving Cooma with only 14 men as the Red Devils pressed for the win. Uni-Norths’ captain and half back soon followed Darcy to the sideline after receiving a yellow card and Cooma now threw everything at their opponents. Unfortunately Uni-Norths were able to score late in the game to secure a deserved 27-18 win. The loss now keeps Cooma outside the top four with a game against the in-form Goulburn at home next Saturday.

Josh Fraser unexpectedly returned from a knee injury and was Cooma’s best on ground and a worthy recipient of 3 points.

In a very entertaining and willing game of rugby, Luke van der Plaat playing his first game in the top grade, received 2 points

for an outstanding game. Jake McIlvenny played to his usual high standard and received 1 point. Another strong game from Phil Johnson was rewarded with Players’ Player honours.

SECOND GRADE It was a game of two halves in the Second Grade match with Uni-Norths blowing Cooma off the park in the first half to lead 33-7 at the break. The only bright spot for Cooma was the drive and determination of prop Andrew Rolfe whose hard work was rewarded with a try which Brad Evans converted. Missed tackles, lack of ball and disorganised defence made the Red Devils look pretty ordinary.

Coach Steve Rolfe and captain Adam Schubert implored the boys to lift their game in the second half and to fight to the end. If the Red Devils were a race horse there would have been a stewards’ inquiry because the second half performance was the complete opposite of the first half. With all the possession and field position the Red Devils looked like they might do the

impossible and run down Uni-Norths. A try in the corner to stand in hooker Ismail Hudson brought the score to 33-12. Next to score was Eddie “Finlay” Thomas. The conversion was unsuccessful and Cooma trailed 33-17. Cooma’s tight five were now dominating their opponents giving the loose forwards and backs plenty of opportunities. When Brad Evan “Nicked” over for a try which he converted the Red Devils dared to dream. Adam Schubert literally gave blood for his team and was replaced after his head was split open in a ruck. Unfortunately Cooma ran out of time and the final score was 33-24. Andrew Rolfe was awarded 3 points for a terrific game of rugby.

Once again Will Moore the 16 year old fullback received points (2) for his courageous performance. Ismail Hudson received 1 point and was Players’ Player after stepping into the hooking role for the first time in years to ensure that Cooma could contest the scrums. Like the First, the Seconds have a tough match next week against the arch enemy Goulburn.

Cooma Lady Tigers The Cooma Lady Tigers took to the field against Majura on Sunday for the Pull Your Socks Up round sporting bright pink socks in support of the McGrath Foundation.

In less than ideal conditions Cooma started strongly with some early shots on goal from Miruna Moruz and Libby Goggin.

Majura meant business and were playing a very physical game. This did not seem to concern centre backs Candice Geach and Stacey Kelly who did well to shut down any chances they had.

As the rain looked to settle in, the ball become harder to control but great teamwork from midfielders Tina Baker and Camilla McDonald kept the play under control.

Majura were playing a strong game and half time couldn’t come soon enough for both teams with the scores locked up at nil all.

The second half started much like the first, with Cooma applying a lot of pressure up front fast.

Majura had a chance in attack which quickly turned into a counter attack for Cooma.

Some great one on one defending by Kerry Baines, whose confidence continues to grow each week, put a great ball through for Miruna on the wing.

She sprinted up the sideline and put a screaming cross into the 18 yard box which found the boot of Emily Perkin who made no mistake in placing it right of the keeper.

Momentum seemed to build and Cooma were able to capitalise again when Emily Perkin crossed the ball into Hymne Truter who smashed it straight past the keeper to put Cooma in front by 2.

This only made Majura hungrier for the win.

Cooma were repeatedly tested but Sarah Merefield Alicia Rampal and Tamara Lloyd kept them at bay with some strong tackles through the midfield.

Unfortunately, a ball through

to a Majura striker, who was in a questionable position, was able to sprint away from Cooma’s defence line and make it 2-1.

This really spurred Majura on who

kept applying the pressure looking to equal the scores but Cooma true to form kept them from scoring any more goals and were able to walk away with the win.

Cooma are currently coming equal first coming into round 6 where they will take on Brindabella in Mawson this weekend.

Cooma Red Devils versus Tigers premier league St Edmunds under 14s On a perfect Autumn morning a new look Under 14 Red Devil outfit took on St Eddies at Rotary Oval.

The game started with both side’s looking for dominance at the ruck.

Cooma struggled with a much larger and enthusiastic Eddies forward pack.

This resulted in Eddies skipping to a 19-0 lead early, but a more determined effort from the boys and valuable possession, saw Will Cahill score a smart try out wide. This lifted the boys’ confidence and they were unlucky not to add to the score with strong probing runs from Zac Van Der Plaat and James McGufficke. Halftime score Eddies 26 Cooma 5.

The second half saw Eddies lift their effort which resulted in some quick tries.

Cooma needed to get some self belief, which arrived in a try to Jake Quodling after some hard running and ball movement out wide.

The final score was Eddies 53 Cooma 10. The boys performed really well at times and with a few runs under their belt will be a force to be reckoned with.

Points were Will Cahill 3, Jake Quodling 2, James McGufficke and Eddie Clark sharing 1 point. Next week the games against Burgmann at Canberra.

All players are having fun as a team and this is reflected in all of their efforts on the field.

It is really good to see so much parent support at the game each week. This support is definitely making a difference in the players.

As is every week it was hard to pick the Milo Man of the Match with so many good performances. This week Tom Marsden came out on top, his defence shone out yet again. Alex Peisley played well with the added responsibility of dummy half.

I could name every player in the team as they all made a contribution to the game this week in a very positive way.

Under 12s (Coach Damien Smith) It was a much improved U12s this week.

Strong games from Beau and Colby helped our forwards, with strong runs from Steph, Max and Will. Jack Stevenson had an outstanding first game.

Girls League Tag (Coach, Emma Sullivan) Girls League Tag are working well as a team and putting into the game what we have done at practice.

Patches of great attack, defended well also, most tries against us were individuals just too fast.

Jenna Boreham aged really well all game and earned player of the game award.

Girls will be working on their fitness over the next weeks.

Under 14s (Coach, Sam and Keiren) Victory! The U14s have tasted victory at home to the Eden Tigers in front of a great crowd.

The boys were all heart, working together exceptionally well in both defence and attack and growing in confidence by the minute. The talk on the field was fantastic and great support and sportsmanship was displayed. Every team member should be proud of their effort in the weekend’s game.

The outstanding players this week were: Lane Stevenson received the 3 points. This boy has grown in confidence and has shown massive improvement each week. After changing

his position from wing to second row, Lane demonstrated his ability to excel in both running the ball and tackling. Awesome job, Lane keep up the hard work.

Two points and Players Player were awarded to Bryson Phillips-Jones for an exceptional game. He played his heart out, defended well and scored a hat trick. Great job, Bryson.

One point went to Blake Baldwin. With every touch of the ball this boy made extensive metres and proved very tough for the opposition to tackle.

He also scored a fantastic try. Well done, Blake.

The other point scorers were Reagen Hurley with a great try and Baidon Sten converting 1/5 attempts.

Unfortunately a few players sustained nasty injures. Wishing you guys a speedy recovery and hope to see you all next week in Bega to continue our winning form. Great job team!

Cats enjoy dominant win over Hogs at Cooma The CCFC Southern Cats took on the Googong Hogs at Snowy Oval on the weekend and came away with a dominant win.

Having seen what the Cats are capable of in a trial match earlier this year, Googong were prepared, bringing a strong side to Cooma.

The Cats currently have a playing roster of 39 and used this game as an opportunity to sideline

a number of key players including captain Taylor Lee. Coach Ross Henningsen said this highlights the current depth of his playing squad and commended the players on their efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the past we had around 10 top players and 10 good players. Now we have 20 top players and the rest are very good players,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The game at Snowy

Oval was a very physical encounter with Googong throwing everything at the Cats who rose to the challenge averaging four goals a quarter.

The Cats lifted every time they were challenged and eventually defeated the visitors emotionally and physically and managed to pile on 40 points in the final quarter.

The full time score finished in a blow out

to The Cats 17-9-121, Googong 7-7-49.

Tony Fleming and Sam Hunter are currently named as the two top players from the playing group and have been nominated to represent the Southern Cats in the ACT representative team.

Nick Thomas and Kyle Herbert from Cooma have also been stand out players with Nick being nominated for the rep team.

The Cats had four players represent the club last year so selectors are well aware of the depth and ability within the club.

Cooma Golf Club news

Mixed pairs matches continue What can be said about matches where the winning margin is 20 shots?

There were two such matches last Wednesday so will not embarrass the losers or give the winners a false sense of their ability by naming names.

In other matches one was close until the last few ends and the other close all the way to the final end. Keith Goodwin played swinging lead for Mick Mayhew and Leonie Snell and for Ron Wainwright and Mary Obermaier.

The lead changed a couple of times with Leonieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team holding a slender 14/12 lead on 17 and then going on to win 22/12. Sergio Roncelli, Mary Boller and Kevin Jackson had a great battle with Ken Rees, Mary Phillips and Denis Steinfort with the lead changing four times and finally settling at 14/14 on end 16. Four shots to three in favour of Denisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team over the last four ends gave them a very narrow victory 18/17.

On Saturday one semi-final and one deferred match in mixed pairs were completed in bright summery weather. In the deferred match, Mary Murphy and Daniel Clough were right on target in winning the first seven ends to lead 10/0 against Dawn and Ross Russell and were never headed on their way to a 28/9 win.

The semi final, Cheryl Meillon and Brian Seears against Mario Frezza and Renate Winckel saw both teams make a shaky start to be 8/8 on end eight.

Cheryl and Brian kept their opposition on eight shots for four ends and went to the front 13/8. Mario and Renate started on a comeback to be 16/16 on 18. Four shots to Mario and Renate on the next end put them in front with two ends to play over which Cheryl and Brian scored five shots to grab a narrow 21/20 win and a place in the final where they will play the winners of the match Murphy/ Clough v Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Amico/Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Amico.

Max Butler and Geoff Venables were 8/8 with Mary Phillips and Denis Steinfort at the half way point.

Mary and Denis were trailing Max and Geoff

when they scored five shots on end 20 which was enough to get them home 18/16.

Ken Rees, Bob Lahy and Paul Cannell were kept on three shots for six ends by Peter Harris, Bob Douglass and Leonie Snell who then went out to lead 15/8 at the half way mark.

Five shots to Ken Bob and Paul on 17 helped but not enough with Peter, Bob and Leonie winning 25/16. In a high scoring Pairs game Sergio Roncelli and Olga Jebbink had a real battle to stay with Mick Mayhew and Ron Wainwright through to end 16 where they trailed 20/23. Mick and Ron went on from that point to win 36/29.

The forecast change in the weather for Sunday proved correct and the proposed Mothers Day Bowls was a washout, however it is still possible to hope that all Mothers everywhere had a happy day.

The Cooma Two Pennant team will travel to Tuross Head next weekend for the Zone Playoff in Number Six Pennant.

First up will be Merimbula followed by Tomakin and South Coast. The team is; Mick Mayhew, Richard Nichols, Steve Seears and Klm Weston.

Mario Frezza, Guilio Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Amico, Ignazio Mondello and Terry Croker.

Ron Wainwright, John Vincent, Tony Gray and Paul Cannell. Reserve is Jack Sajina and everything will run smoothly under the Management of Sherry Seears.

We wish them every success.

Jindabyne will contest the Number Five Pennant and will be playing at Bega but opponents are not known.

Unfortunately, Adaminaby are unable to field a team to contest Number Seven Pennants.

Last Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Medley Stableford attracted 24 starters and Gordon Weston was the winner with a healthy 40 points, followed by Charlie Beaumont with 38 and Tom Perea with 37.

Balls were won by Phil Amey, Frank McKnight, Heikki Evans, Nathan McGrath, Mark Kelley and Denis Minehan.

Nearest the pins on 9 went to Mark Kelly and Phil Amey was closest on 17.

Saturday saw 51 players contesting the Monthly Medal and the Veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Championship.

Col Langdon won A Grade with the round of the day of 68 nett, with Kim Howard runner up with 69 nett. The B Grade winner was Steve Wheatley with 69 nett from Tim Bedingfeld on 71 nett on a count back. Harry Mould won C Grade with 70 nett from Keith Russell with 71 nett.

Balls were won by Mark Rainsford, Cliff Richards, Ben Langdon, Bob Ashcroft, Gary Batten, Frank McKnight and Dave Douglass.

Ben Langdon unleashed a monster drive to claim the A Grade long drive, whilst Mike Introna won B Grade and Steve Edgenton won C Grade.

Nearest the pin on 9 went to Steve Russell while Sean Smith was nearest the pin on 17.

A paltry 11 players turned out for

Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stableford in conditions that were really not too bad and the scores were quite high. Maybe if people looked out the window instead on relying on Weather Zone â&#x20AC;Ś..

Ben Rolfe blitzed the field with an outstanding 44 points. Balls were won

by Steve Russell (39), Robert Smith (39), Wayne Flynn (38), Denis Minehan (36) and Norm Marshall (34).

No one managed to land on the ninth green in one and Tony Monday won the easiest nearest the pin of his career by being the only one to hit the putting surface although Norm Marshall was unlucky with a shot closer to the pin but about 25 mm off the green.

There will be the normal Stableford on next Wednesday while Saturday will feature the MEIS Charity Day with another big field expected. This will be a 3 person Ambrose shotgun start at 9.30.

If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already signed up get in quick because this will be a great day and spots are filling fast.

Sunday features the fifth round of the Thredbo Super Stableford, a year long event with a great first prize for the eventual winner.

You have to play a minimum number of rounds to qualify for the final so roll up on Sunday.

Cooma District Junior Rugby League - Colts Round Two Full On Constructions and Rhythm Snow Sports Under 6’s The Rhythm Snow sports and Full On Constructions Under sixers continued their good form today with another win against the Gungahlin Bulls Black team 24 - 12. Despite the cool, wet conditions the kids played very well with good control of the ball. Two tries each to Toby McKenzie, Hunter Hart, and Ethan Brazulaitis. Phillip Jefferies and William Bryan were brilliant in defence holding the opposition up at the last opportunity. Nicholas Burchall, Junior Morgan, Harrison Tatton, and Benjamin Fox all put in a valued effort with each opportunity running the ball and were always there to assist in defence. Great job again this week sixers. Keep it up.

South East Embroidery Under 7’s Round 2 saw the Cooma colts up against the Queanbeyan Blues at Cooma showground. This was the Colts first home game of the season and unfortunately the rain couldn’t hold off any longer. Kurik Nelson made some good yards with the ball for the Colts and it is good to see that Riley Williams is getting stronger with every game. Nate Stokes ran hard as always and scored the colts first try and made some try saving tackles. Mitchell Fletcher showed his strength and made some great tackles. Tyler Lee put his foot down and scored the 2nd try for the colts. Jesse Hurford continued with his strong runs to make some great breaks. Aiden Dixon had one of his best games and tackled well all game. Harper Woolf showed great speed and scored his first try for the season. Jermaine Bartlett put in 100 percent and shut down some strong runs from the blues and was rewarded with a try as a result of his strong running. Keeley-May made some good metres and defended well. The Colts were up against a very strong team who played very well, the final score was 40-16 to the Queanbeyan Blues. Tries went to Nate Stokes (1), Tyler Lee (1), Harper Woolf (1) and Jermaine Bartlett (1).

This week the medal went to Aiden Dixon and the award went to Keeley-May Usher-Radal.

Snowy River Painting Under 8’s – White The Cooma Colts played their first home game of the season against the Valley Dragons in front of a large crowd of mums on Mother’s day. The weather didn’t turn up for these brave mums, but the under 8 Colts sure did. On a very wet and miserable day, the Colts displayed how far they have come with a defensive line that was unbreakable. It is hard to name just a couple of players for their outstanding defence as each and every Colt was outstanding. In saying that, these players were nothing less than awesome and were mums little show pony Colts 1) Othon Morgan, 2) Cooper Lee, 3) Bailey Benn, 4) Lachlan Burchall, 5) Jackson Cook, 6) Riley McKenzie, 7) Lachlan Bryan and 8) Kyte Lee. Not only were these Colts great in defence, but also in attack with great team work displayed from all players supporting each other and off-loading to one and other, which created a lot of broken play in an otherwise relatively strong Dragons defensive line. This allowed for the following Colts to cross for four pointers, Kyte Lee (2), Lachlan Bryan, Riley McKenzie and big Jack Cook. Three of these tries were successfully converted by Othon Morgan, Lachlan Bryan and Cooper Lee. The Colts were way too strong for the Dragons winning 26 points to nil. Player of the week went to Jackson Cook and the Maccas award went to Bailey Benn.

Monaro Constructions Under 8’s – Black Round two saw the Cooma Colts Black Play at home in Cooma. For the second game of the season the boys played a strong game and held their own against very strong Valley Dragons team. The Dragons scored first with our Colts hitting back to even the score at four all at the end of the first break.

The Dragons ran in two more tries and converted one. The Colts didn’t stop trying and hit back with their second try of the match. The end of the game saw the Dragons staying

on fourteen with the Colts on eight. The Colts Black team thanks Kyte Lee and Rhylee Robinson from Colts White team, with Kyte scoring one of our tries and Rhylee steadying the team with some strong tackling. For the Black team Rhylee Robinson produced try saving tackles and his efforts earned him the player’s medal for this week. James Burke produced a very strong run busting through the Dragons defence in the centre of the park to run away and score the other of the Colts tries. Blaze Podger was unlucky not to get his first try of the season with a great length of the field run down the side line only to see him stopped just before the try line.

Deuchar Waldren, tackled well and with his side stepping runs he made metres when he had the ball in attack. Manson Sandeberg proved very elusive with the ball again, but it was his efforts in defence that stood out this week. Colby Douch ran strongly with the ball hitting the Dragons defence at speed and made metres when he took the line on.

Well done to the boys on their second outing and a big thank you to the Cooma Colts Under Eights Black team sponsors Monaro Constructions.

Monaro Panel Beaters Under 9’s Unfortunately the Under 9’s Monaro Panel Beaters didn’t come up with a win this weekend but they should all give themselves a pat on the back because we are showing positive signs of improvement all round. With the wet and slippery conditions 2 tries were missed and our kicking game unfortunately let us down but with plenty of practice at training we will improve without a doubt. Lachlan Sky had a great game showing his swiftness, keeping the West Belconnen Under 9’s on the back foot and going over for 2 tries. Tyrell Bartlett and Hunter Caldwell were both elusive, out running the opposition and sliding over the white line for a try each. Our defence was very impressive this week with Connor Nelson, Dempsey Woolf, Wyatt Hurford, Khian Flanagan & Archie Blyton taking the West Belconnen Under 9’s on with all their brunt force. Not only that but there were some great runs and hit ups by Charlie Payne, Rylee Holland, Jett Kelly, Jack Dunn, Jayden Hart & Natasha Kelly who all made some great field position and plenty of metres to keep us in the game.

Looking forward to seeing what the Under 9’s Monaro Panel Beaters can do next week!!

Sportspower Cooma Colts Under 10’s The Sportspower U10’s had a big task in front of them this week taking on the Gungahlin Bulls. The Boys were looking to even up the score from last year after going down to the bulls by two points. It was a great team effort again this week with all boys giving 100%, Cameron Filtness had a blinder of a game running strongly and tackling well as well as having an excellent kicking game resulting in repeat sets for the team and a try. Clayton Clark kept the defensive line talking all game making some strong tackles and having some good runs, as did Jacob Smith who was very close to scoring only to be pulled up just short of the line. Tyler Walden and Zane Usher Rodahl both played well in the forwards this week running strongly and tackling well as did Lucas Umback having a couple of strong runs in the game. Mitchell Reid had a top debut game making some excellent tackles and causing the defence some real headaches when he ran the ball, followed close behind by Hugh Waldren running strongly and getting more involved in defence. Thomas Rudd and Lee Morgan scored two tries each both showing excellent speed and skill to cross the line as well as defending strongly throughout the whole game. Judah Fai Filiga played well again running strongly and making some good tackles as well as Jack Roberson always running straight and hard throughout the game earning himself the player of the week.

Charlie Fleming worked hard again this week with some big solid hits as well as causing the bulls some problems in defence. Rhys Cleverly scored two tries one coming from an

intercept after some great pressure moving up in defence, overall it was a great game to watch with everyone putting in a great effort in both attack and defence resulting in the colts taking the win with a final score 32-20. Awards this week, Player of the week Jack Roberson, Hitman was Mitchell Reid.

Try scorers Lee Morgan 2, Thomas Rudd 2, Rhys Cleverly 2. Conversions by Mitchell Reid, Clayton Clark, Cameron Filtness and Judah Fai Filiga.

Highland Ground Spreading under 11’s The Highland Ground Spreading Under 11s played a hard fought game in the drizzle on Sunday. They were up against West Belconnen Blue. Cooma started well with bustling runs from Tom Blomfield and Cooper Inskip. Cooper scored early to give the Colts a six point lead. Shortly after, West Belconnen hit back with two quick tries of their own. The Colts regained their composure and started to click into gear.

Azack Morgan got the ball and had a strong run to bust over the try line. At half time the Colts trailed 16- 10. Talon Kelly and Thomas King, the super subs, came on after the break and directed around the ruck. Talon scooted from dummyhalf and caught the defence napping to score a good try.

Toby Inskip had some strong runs, making ground every time and was rewarded with a try. Cooma defended well with Louie Mould leading the way. Mason Turner was strong at the back and ran well in attack. Jordan Williams backed up Cooper to receive a pass that lead him to the try line as well. The final score was 28-22 in favour of the Colts. A good come back by the Colts who were never going to lay down.

Best and fairest points were Toby Inskip (3), Tom Blomfield (2), Talon Kelly (1). Medal Azack Morgan. Choc awards to Toby Inskip and Tom Blomfield. Canteen award to Cooper Inskip.

Mainstreet Under 12’s The Main Street Clothing Under 12’s took on a much, much bigger team from Goulburn in the rain at Cooma on Sunday.

The team really came together and played an excellent first half with everyone working together in defence. Adam made an excellent try saving cover tackle but came off second best and had to leave the field. Shawn then slotted into fullback like a natural. Our three new players to the game, Conor, Cooper and Jacob had strong starts to their rugby league careers. James and Lachlan made a fantastic pairing as first receivers and scored a try each, with Jack kicking a goal to convert the try. Doron and Barrett paired up well in wet conditions as dummy half. Our machine like forward pack of Jack, Kayla, Tirone, Cody, Aron and Sam did us all proud as they tackled hard all game and made big runs up the middle.

Final score was 36-10 to Goulburn. Player of the week went to Jacob, 3 points to Kayla, 2 points to James and 1 point to Lachlan.

Franks Butchery Under 13’s The first home game for the Franks Butchery under 13s produced a very good all round performance from the Colts against the Tuggeranong Buffaloes. Strong early running from James Dyball, Ty McKenzie and Remi Brademanne was well supported by solid defence across the field. Lachlan McGufficke and Brock Halls direct the play well with some clever dummy half work from Colby McDonald keeping the Buffaloes defence guessing. Jesse Eljuga was everywhere in both attack and defence with some great low tackling. The fulltime score was Cooma Colts 36 to Tuggeranong Buffaloes 14. Try scorers for the game were James Dyball 2, Jake Galvin, Lachlan McGufficke, Remi Brademanne, Hudson Laird and Colby McDonald 1 each, with Remi Bradmanne kicking 4 goals. Thanks to Jack Newson from the under 12s who helped out. The Colts under 13s have started the season with two very good wins and with continued enthusiasm, hard work and concentration have the potential to improve event further.

Bombala league - three from three at home On Saturday the Bombala showground saw a day full of football, starting off with juniors in the morning following through to first grade played under lights.

Throughout the day the Bombala District RLFC did a fantastic job in taking the opportunity to pay respect to the late Joanne Joseph, a very well respected and loved community member of Bombala; black arm bands were worn by all Bombala players and a minuteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silence observed prior to the first grade game. Many of the crowd participated by wearing Joanneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite colour purple and the club was able to raise $500 by providing a cake stand and taking gold coin donations for the Mesothelioma Foundation.

The Bombala District RLFC would like to extend their thanks for the crowds participation and generosity.

Ladies League Tag The Bombala High Heelers took the field against the Cooma Fillies determined not to disappoint the home crowd.

From the kick off the Heelers had the momentum on their side getting back to back sets attacking the Fillies line. To the Fillies credit they were able to hold the Heelers out and some uncharacteristic unforced errors kept the heelers from scoring. However the girls finally found the completion set they were looking for and a classy set move between Patrice Clear, Keiarna Rodwell and Lucy Sellars saw Lucy score in close to the black dot. This would be the first of various tries scored by the dominating High Heelers outfit. Annie McGrath showed brilliant kicking skills in her conversion attempts.

Kayley Keavey was impressive not only showing dedication in defence to chase down tags but was able to streak away on various occasions to gain valuable metres for the Heelers.

Chloe Murphy was strong in defence and injected hard line running into the team to help the girls lift when required and Captain Patrice Clear was instrumental in directing her troops and leading by example on many occasions. The final score ended an impressive 46-6 in the High Heelers favour, three points went to Kayley Keavey (sponsored by Dommos Shearing), two points went to Patrice Clear (sponsored by Clear Cut Electrical and Rural Services) and one point went to Chloe Murphy (sponsored by Final Touches), Players Players awarded from her peers went to captain Patrice Clear.

Reserve Grade With numbers for reserve grade flourishing the strong Reggies side took the field against the Cooma boys with great anticipation. The injection of local talent Clay Clear and former Bombala boy Chris Halligan, as well as Mick Sullivan back from injury, meant that this Bombala team would be at full strength with a great mix of experience, skill and young talent. Alex Rosten showed his skill as an all-rounder, reliable and hard working in defence and quick on his feet in attack.

Richard Stewart continued his consistent football proving to be a great asset to this Bombala Reserve grade team. Clay Clear provided the strike power required out wider in the field proving he still has a lot to offer to his home football club. The combination of Mick Sullivan and Clay Stewart was pretty to watch with Sullivan scoring some classy tries. Chris Halligan made some bustling runs, able to break away from the Cooma defence only to be denied a try just shy of the line, Korie Elton showed similar skills running hard and taking a swag of players to eventually get him down. The Bombala team had an impressive win, holding the Cooma side to nil with the final score as 30-0. Three points went to Alex Rostyn, two points to Chris Halligan and one point to Clay Clear, players player awarded from his peers went to Richard Stewart.

First Grade The Blue Heelers first grade team took the field under the lights as the cooler air started to settle in against the Cooma Stallions. This game would be one of high anticipation as the two highland teams, containing various friendships and a strong competitive nature, would take the field to determine where they are sitting in comparison to each other. The contest would not be easy for either team, a nail biter to the end but the home side would eventually prevail in a hard fought contest finishing up 24-22. From the kickoff the Heelers looked on fire. The classy footwork of Andrew Anderson would see him score first points only minutes in, with Tuwame Turaganivalu showing impressive conversion skills all game, taking the score to 6-0. By the 12th minute Bombala had its own fair share of defensive sets as unforced errors crept their way into the Heelers game. An impressive chip chase and regather from Tuwame would be unlucky not to add points to the Bombala score board. But it would be off a defensive error that followed next by the Heelers that the Cooma team would capitalise, evening up the score 6-6. Not to be deflated or outdone Bombala came back firing and the fancy footwork of Tyler Jones would set up for the dominating charge of Murray Jackson who would score for the heelers just wide of the posts. The next 20 minutes of football would too and fro between the teams with unforced errors again plaguing both teams and yet solid defensive efforts keeping them honest. With one minute left on the clock before half time an intercept would be taken from the lightening Cooma number 7, who could not be run down, the score would be all tied up at half time 12-12.

The Bombala District RLFC would like to thank their major sponsor the Bombala RSL Club for hosting presentations and putting on fantastic entertainment following the games on Saturday night. Next weekend the three Bombala grades will be on the road again to take on The Narooma Devils and She-devils at Narooma on Sunday the 15th of May. As evident on Saturday, the support and cheer from the Bombala crowd was instrumental and therefore the club encourages everyone to get down to Narooma to help cheer on their local footy teams.

Pictured below, Keiarna Rodwell, Alex Rostin and Clay Stewart.

The discipline and intensity from the Bombala boys from the kick-off after half time was admirable. Defending hard and completing sets, it would only take 3 minutes for Tyler Jones to duck and weave through the defence and put Bombala back in front, with successful conversion Bombala led 1812. Saimoni Buinimasi showed he is hard to handle with solid defence and barging runs gaining fantastic metres for the Heelers. Andrew Anderson was able to get away some great kicks giving the Heelers great field possession. Malcolm Stone worked tirelessly in defence and was able to bust away from tackles in attack, offloading to a steaming Mitch Lynch who scored under the black dot for the Heelers. By the 52nd minute it was 24-12 and it would seem the Bombala team would have the momentum. However the Cooma side was not ready to back down, their ability to carve through the Bombala defence later in the game had everyone on their feet. The crowd was noticeably vocal and the passion of country footy was ever evident at the Bombala showground.

Back to back sets in defence by Bombala would prove tough, Charlie Lomas and Saimoni would be instrumental here, however in the 71st minute Cooma would slip through and take the score 24-16. Another onslaught of attack from the Cooma side kept Bombala on the back foot and impeccable defence from Bailey Jones would see him hold up a Cooma player over the line to deny them further points. However with Cooma on fire and running with great purpose they were able to penetrate the Bombala line again taking the score to 22-24 with only 6 minutes to go. The Heelers looked fatigued and it took every last effort and strength to keep the Cooma side from scoring again. The crowd was on their feet and trying their best to give the home team the energy needed to wrap up the game. It was Cooma who went very close to scoring just seconds from the bell but were denied due to a forward pass. The Heelers were able to play out the clock and take the victory at 22-24. Three points went to half back Andrew Anderson, 2 points went to Saimoni Buinimasi and one point went to Bailey Jones. Players Player and Player of the day

Cooma Fillies maintain improvement The Cooma Fillies lost game six of the season, 46 to 6 to the undefeated Bombala High-Heelers.

The score-line does not reflect the wonderful effort the Fillies displayed, but in the end the Bombala Ladies were just too good. The young Fillies continue to show improvement in all areas, their defensive line showed good improvement. The fillies

also managed to score a very good try through some good ball running by Olivia Barron. This makes the Fillies only the second side to score against the HigherHeelers this season.

In the Players Player voting for the Fillies, try scorer Olivia Barron was awarded the 3 points, the goal kicker Tanika Williams received 2 points and the ever consistent

Erin Donnelly received 1 point.

Next Sunday the young Fillies face another tough match against competition heavy weights the Bega Chicks. The young Fillies are looking forward to being competitive in this match that will again certainly test their resolve. The ladies continue to train extremely hard and this effort and commitment will show with

improved results as the season progresses.

The ladies would like to thank all those who travelled to Bombala to support them on the weekend and are looking forward to a good crowd for their return home this Sunday. The Fillies are scheduled to kick off at 10.30am, followed by all three grades of Stallions.

Pictured: Ash Steinke and Olivia Barron.

Bombala reserves win local derby 30 to nil The Cooma Stallions Resreves fielded a depleted line up with more than 10 players unavailable through injury or work commitments.

Coming up against a very strong Bombala side it proved too hard a task.

The opening half was very evenly contested with Bombala holding a slender 4 nil advantage with only eight minutes

to halftime. In what was to be the major turning point three quick tries in succession saw them down 20 - nil at the break, with the score line not being a true indicator of the game.

The second half again saw Bombala cross for several more tries as injuries and fatigue worked against an undermanned Stallions outfit.

It seems strange to say that a final score line of 30 odd points to nil was not any indication of the closeness of this match, the players continued to give it all with no replacements and lots of players staying out on the field busted.

A strong display of guts and pride was evident and if a couple of disallowed tries had have gone The Stallions way perhaps it

may have been a much closer result.

Players players award was shared by Jesse Pieklar and Jason Milliken with great games from Ricky Milliken and Johno Daley.
