LEATHER No man made material can compare with the natural beauty of genuine leather.

While initially more expensive than fabric upholstery, leather is recognized to be a better investment nvestment over time. Leather has an average lifespan four times longer than that of fabric. Today’s active ctive lifestyles require a furniture cover that can meet the demands of daily use and look great for years to come. As a natural material, leather has the ability to breathe, be it cool in the summer, and nd warm in the winter.

Michelle Stewart (Manthey) could never have imagined that a chance conversation when she was looking for a career change would lead to being the team leader of an award winning customer service team.

The Birdsnest team has just picked up the Best Customer Service Award at the prestigious 2015 Online Retail Industry Awards – and the ‘birds’ couldn’t be happier.

“This was a brand new category this year and we were so delighted to be finalists”, says Michelle. “We were up against some huge names and it was a wonderful surprise to come away with the award – we honestly didn’t expect it to unfold that way on the night!”

Michelle grew up in Cooma and after school went into childcare, something she was always passionate about. She worked and studied in this field and loved it and it was back in 2010 when she decided to look at other options.

“Of course I knew of Birdsnest, and loved shopping there, but to be honest I didn’t necessarily have an understanding of how big the online

component of the business was – it was early days and I don’t think many people knew much about that side of it.”

“The growth of the business at that point was very strong and they were seriously short of people so I pretty much started straight away and pretty quickly I was managing our small customer service team of 10. Since then we’ve continued to grow and my team today has 35 people across customer service, returns, warehouse and our picking and packing team,” said Michelle.

“I have learnt a lot along the way and l am part of the management team which has given me a huge insight into the business. It’s exciting to be part of a vibrant business and I think the things that I love the most are the people I work with – they are so genuinely enthusiastic and dedicated; the amazing feedback we receive from customers – it is very personal interaction; and the great career opportunities that Birdsnest has given Team Leader Michelle Stewart (Manthey) proudly me and so many other local people holds the 2015 Best Customer Service ORIA Award right here in Cooma.”

Birdsnest continues to soar It seems the sky is the limit for the powerhouse Birdsnest team, who have recently won an ORIA – Online Retail Industry Award. Coming home with the 2015 Best Online Customer Service Award a few weeks ago, the birds could not be prouder of the national achievement.

Customer service is one of the biggest areas of focus for Birdsnest and is probably the main reason for the great success of the business so far.

Michelle Stewart (Manthey) is the customer service team leader and she said the whole Birdsnest family feel very honoured to be recognised.

“It’s the personalised service that we really pride ourselves on,” says Michelle, “We want to make sure that every customer has an amazing experience,

whether that be online or in the store.”

The customer service team are able to track the purchases of each customer and keep an eye on their wishlists. This allows the birds to find out what style each customer prefers, help with what items will suit them best and even keep the customer up to date with sales and low stock numbers on items that they have shown an interest in.

The returns policy is also something that really sets Birdsnest apart from other online experiences. They have a 365 day returns policy on any item, even if it was sale. You can also opt to have your return refunded, exchanged or credited.

If there are any issues with the online ordering process, the Birdsnest girls make sure they go above and beyond to turn it

into a positive experience for the customer.

Michelle says the whole culture of the Birdsnest workplace makes it a great place to be everyday, and all the birds can’t help but spill that positivity into their tasks.

“It’s like a big family. We all support one another and we have lots of fun,” says Michelle, “It’s really social as well. We have monthly bake-offs to celebrate birthdays and lots of other fun things going on all the time.”

“I’ve been here just over five years, and been team leader for about 4 years and I just love coming to work because of the team here and because of our wonderful and friendly customers.”

Birdsnest had previously won the ORIA for Best Customer Experience in 2013.

Jindabyne students take centre New ads aim to boost stage at the Sydney Opera House accommodation industry Jindabyne Central School (JCS) students have starred in a world premiere at the Sydney Opera House showcasing the talents of almost 1,000 musicians from NSW public schools.

A total of 14 JCS violinists, ranging in age from seven to 11 years, took centre stage at the Festival of Instrumental Music on Wednesday night to play four compositions as part of a NSW combined public schools ensemble.

Another nine JCS students were part of a 700-strong recorder ensemble which performed three pieces throughout the Mimosa Concert on Thursday night.

The first violin performance was a lively jig titled Gypsy Airs composed by Pablo Sarasate, followed by Voyager One: A Discovery by Adrian Mansukhani – a piece of music which led the imagination into outer space. The next composition was influenced by the JCS students on the steps of the Sydney Opera House ahead of sounds of Asia and titled their night-time performance.

Cooma-Monaro Shire Council has released a new component in its successful “So Much to Love” economic development campaign with a series of newspaper advertisements aimed at boosting the local accommodation industry.

The objective of the new advertisements is to position Cooma as a well located, value-formoney accommodation alternative for winter visitors to the snowfields.

With more than 40 restaurants and cafés and the largest retail offering in the Snowy Mountains, Cooma is the most integrated destination for tourists in the region.

Mayor Dean Lynch says Cooma offers the region’s visitors great variety and great value.

“We’re the gateway to the Snowy Mountains and only about an hour or so from Perisher, Thredbo or Selwyn Snowfields with

a wide range of accommodation, restaurants, retail outlets, supermarkets, pubs, clubs and attractions. Cooma is packed with value, especially for families with an eye on their household budgets,” Councillor Lynch said.

The new “Stay in Cooma and Save” ads are designed to complement the “So Much to Love” radio, digital and outdoor campaign launched recently.

“The Snowy Mountains region welcomes about 1.1 million tourists a year and the majority drive through Cooma without thinking about the benefits of stopping and staying here. If we could fill the Shire’s accommodation, it would be worth well over $10 million a year to the local economy.”

Police, RFS report Emergency landing at Polo Flat Malicious damage was caused to a light pole on the corner of Maybe Street and Forbes Street in Bombala in the early hours of last Tuesday morning. An unknown vehicle collided with the pole causing police to block the road while it was repaired.

There was also a small motor vehicle accident on Oliver Street in Berridale on Wednesday night. The car ran into a small brick fence on the side of the road, with no one being injured.

Three individuals have been issued infringement notices for offensive conduct in the area over the last week for urinating in public. A 19-year-old man was caught in Sharp Street, Cooma in the early hours of Saturday morning, while a 29-yearold male was caught Friday night in Jindabyne and an 18-year-old was also caught in Jindabyne last Wednesday evening.

Random breath testing early Thursday morning in Jindabyne caught a 20-year-old female with a reading of 0.063, and a 20-year-old male provisional driver from Tasmania blew a reading of 0.012.

Grass fires Rural Fire Services extinguished two grass fires on Sunday after some burn offs got out of control.

One was at Dalgety and the other an African Love grass burn near Dromore.

Both burnt a size of approximately 20 hectares before being controlled by the RFS. The RFS would like to remind people to take care when burning on their properties.

Always notify neighbours and fire control of a planned burn, ensure your containment lines are in place and that weather conditions are appropriate. If you need any advice, call fire control on (02) 6455 0455.

Boyce team raises $25,000 in City2Surf Boyce City to Surf participants once again travelled to Sydney to partake in the 14km course and recorded a number of ‘personal best’ times.

Apart from the challenge of competing, the real aim for Boyce is to raise funds for the Burns Support Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation that provides assistance and support to burns survivors and their families.

All of the work of the Foundation is carried out by volunteers without any government support. This is the fourth year that Boyce has elected to support the Burns Support Foundation and we are pleased to announce that the total raised this year is just over $25,000. That takes our total fundraising for the Burns Support Foundation to over $110,000.

Of course we have a special motivation to raise as much money as we can to help the Burns Support Foundation continue their fantastic work. Julie Schofield, a director of the firm and the Boyce City2Surf team captain, suffered a burns injury as a child.

Julie, with the help of the Burns Support Foundation, was able to cope with the many years of hospital visits and surgeries to emerge with a positive attitude to life and a rewarding career. It is to help the foundation to carry on their great work that so inspired all the Boyce team

The 2015 Boyce City2Surf team. in this year’s fundraising effort.

Julie was overwhelmed with the efforts of the Boyce team, all the supporters and

everyone who donated to the cause.

“It means so much to my family and to me to know that other kids will now be able to receive the assistance and support from the Burns Support Foundation that I received as a child,” she said.

Barry Lowe, Treasurer of the Burns Support Foundation, was at the post-race celebrations and was overwhelmed

by the sterling effort from the entire Boyce team.

“We are absolutely thrilled and so very grateful for the huge amount you have raised for the Burns Support Foundation not only this year but over the last four years you have supported us,” Barry said.

“It is truly unbelievable and more than we could ever have imagined.”

This money raised will ensure the Burns Support Foundation camps continue for the next few years.

These camps are a great way for burn survivors and their families to get together with other survivors who have shared similar

experiences and have fun in an inclusive and supporting environment.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated and to all the Boyce runners, walkers and support crew.

We’ll be back again next year – the fund-raising aspect of this event is central to the firm’s philosophy of contributing to our local communities and as a bonus, it helps us focus on our fitness.

Monaro High Links to Learning class General Manager, JOE VESCIO

At Council’s meeting on Tuesday, a report was listed regarding that the Resource Bank Project and that the project has now come to an end.

The final project is being completed this week at the Jindabyne Central School (JCS). Visual art students have been working with professional street artists to create a mural on the side of a one of the demountable classrooms.

The overall list of projects for the Snowy Resource Bank was drawn directly from Council’s Youth Empowerment Strategy and was developed after extensive consultation with young people across the Shire. The project targeted 16-25 year olds and its goal was to reach 35 young people.

This initiative exceeded its original goals and met its stated objectives. For example, the program conducted over sixteen major youth events/workshops and delivered more than 729 youth engagement opportunities.

The whole community has benefitted from this initiative as it has increased collaboration between young people, local businesses, community organisations, Council and local schools. It also encouraged a dialogue between Councillors and the Snowy Youth Council, which is a project that will now continue to be developed.

I congratulate Council staff and the Snowy Youth Council immensely for making the project such a success.

If you are interested in viewing the full report and the projects total achievements, I encourage you to visit the Council meeting section on our website and choose the business paper from Tuesday’s meeting. Photos of the mural at the Jindabyne Central School will be published in next weeks Shire Wire.

Five inducted into CMSC sports gallery Five people were inducted into the Cooma-Monaro Shire Council’s sports gallery on Monday night.

The inductees included the late Owen Russell, who had a strong interest in snooker and billiards.

On one occasion, when champion Eddie Charlton was in Cooma, he and Owen played an exhibition match, with Owen winning one frame off the world champion.

His award on Monday night was accepted by his widow Beaty.

Also inducted were Olympic skier Ben Sim and Commonwealth Games swimmer, Josh Alford.

Josh’s award was accepted by his parents Lorraine and Bob. Bredbo’s mountain bike champions Thomas and Andrew Crimmins were also inducted.

Thomas was present to accept

New nurse manager for Delegate MPS Elizabeth Walker, the new Nurse Manager at Delegate MPS, started her new position on July 6.

Elizabeth is a registered nurse with degrees in education, community health and has a wealth of experience in nursing having worked in the past in hospitals, the NSW Department of Health, and The College of Nursing (NSW). She has also worked in nurse education in hospitals, universities and TAFE, and for a time worked on nursing publications. Her experience includes working in both the public and private sectors.

Elizabeth comes most recently from the Riverland in South Australia where she was the manager of a 58 bed aged care facility co-located with an acute hospital.

When asked about her reasons for coming to Delegate, Elizabeth responded “after living through days of more than 45 degrees in the shade for weeks each summer it was time for a tree change – I needed some cold in my life”. Now after several weeks in the cold, Elizabeth is finally learning how to keep warm.

Elizabeth is passionate about nursing and aged care in particular and is enthusiastic about her new

role. “I’ve enjoyed meeting the residents and staff at Delegate MPS and I’m enjoying meeting families and other locals.

This is a beautiful part of the world and I’m looking forward to exploring it and the nearby areas”.

WHY DOES MY DOG EAT GRASS?

Dogs, unlike their catty counterparts, are not carnivores (meat eaters). But they're not like your garden-variety omnivores (plant eaters), either. For tens of thousands of years, these opportunistic scavengers have devoured anything and everything, as long as it fulfilled their basic dietary requirements.

The modern dog, partly because of evolution and domestication, is no longer like its ancestors, which frequently ate their prey entirely, including the stomach contents of plant-eating animals. Instead, dogs today seek out plants as an alternative food source. Most commonly the plant is grass -- since that is what is closest at hand -- but wild canines are known to eat fruits, berries, and other vegetable matter, too.

Clearly, dogs can find their nutrients in a wide range of plant foods, but that doesn't explain why Fido usually throws up after eating grass.

WHEN THE TUMMY'S GRUMBLIN'

A dog will seek out a natural remedy for a gassy or upset stomach, and grass, it seems, may do the trick. When ingested, the grass blade tickles the throat and stomach lining; this sensation, in turn, may cause the dog to vomit, especially if the grass is gulped down rather than chewed.

Although dogs don't typically graze on large amounts of grass like a cow, they may nibble on grass, chew on it for a while, and not throw up (an unwell dog will tend to gulp the grass down in big bites and then throw up). This may be because they find the texture of the grass palatable, or just because they need to add a little roughage to their diet.

NUTRITIONAL NECESSITY

Whatever the reason may be, most experts see no danger in letting your dog eat grass. In fact, grass contains essential nutrients that a dog might crave, especially if they're on a commercial diet. If you notice that your dog has been munching away on grass or houseplants, then you may want to introduce natural herbs or cooked vegetables into their diet. Dogs aren't finicky like cats, but they're not too fond of raw veggies either. They're kind of like big furry kids that way.

So, when you think about it, grass munching isn’t that bad at all. However, watch out for a sudden increase in grass eating; it could be a sign of a more serious underlying illness that your dog is trying to self treat, and that requires immediate veterinary assistance.

Looking to the future Last Tuesday, Monaro High School held a special transition day to introduce the students to how the Higher School Certificate (HSC) works and what options they have in terms of chasing down careers.

The students enjoyed a rotation of workshops and presentations throughout the day exploring options for their future studies.

Carolyn Ewart of Cooma TAFE spoke to the year 10s about the courses available for the students as part of their HSC years.

Another session on the day was dedicated to explaining exactly what the HSC is, the requirements it involves and some advice on which subjects to choose.

There were also some outreach officers from the University of Canberra (UC) at the school for a ‘Busting the Myths’ session about going to university. Students were given the opportunity to ask questions of a current UC student about the day-to-day university experience. Ben Johnston, UC Outreach Officer, said that the main aim of the session was to discuss the best paths for the students in achieving their goals. “It’s mainly about breaking down barriers,� says Mr Johnston, “Often kids think that they can’t go to

university because of the cost, particularly when you need to relocate from a smaller town like Cooma. However there are plenty of scholarships available and other options to assist you in getting to university.�

Mr Johnston also said that many year 10 students do not yet know what career they want to pursue, and that is ok. “This day is a good opportunity for them to start thinking about it,� he says, “We can start to work out what path they can take to start working towards a career, and what they can do if things change along the way.�

Students were also given the opportunity to ask some former students of Monaro High some questions about leaving school and going on to chase their career choices. The speakers that came along have only been out of school for a few years, allowing a fresh perspective on leaving school, and one that the year 10 students could easily relate to.

In between these presentations, the students were able to enjoy morning tea and lunch provided by Julie Brown in the Monaro High tuckshop. They also got to head down to the oval and play some ball games in their groups to break up the day.

Council adopts new food hygiene program across shire Cooma-Monaro Shire Council voted on Monday night to adopt the “Scores on Doors� program for its food premises to promote compliance with hygiene and food safety standards.

The Program will be at no cost to businesses, but is intended to promote consumer trust and further the reputation and economy of food businesses in the Shire.

At the same time, consumer expectations are rising, in particular that: • food premises have the highest levels of compliance with hygiene and food safety standards • consumers are able to have access to official information so they can make their own decision about where they eat, and • Council activities such as food

for hygiene and food safety.

The Program is focused on retail food service businesses that process and sell food that is ready to eat, intended for immediate consumption, and potentially hazardous if not handled correctly.

These businesses include: • Restaurants • Pub Bistros • Hotels

Council was told the role that food businesses play in the local community is becoming more important, as people’s lives get busier and they source their food from outside their home.

Food businesses also form part of the local economy creating economic activity, employment, bringing people into the area and retaining those who live and work in it by providing reliable meal options. Council and the community benefit from the local food industry and rely on food premises and the part they play in the diverse local economy.

inspections are not only done, but are seen to be done.

Council’s Environmental Health Officers already undertake food inspections to ensure compliance with hygiene and food safety requirements.

Where necessary, they undertake compliance action. Food premises issued with on-the-spot Penalty Notices may appear on the NSW Food Authority’s high profile Name and Shame Register. ‘Scores on Doors’ is the state-wide NSW program to display onsite the results of food premises inspections

• Coffee Shops • Bakeries • Clubs, and Takeaway outlets ‘ Scores on Doors’ is not intended for: • Supermarkets • Delicatessens or greengrocers • Low-risk food premises or businesses that sell pre-packaged food such as service stations and convenience stores • Temporary markets, mobile food vans • Businesses that hold a NSW Food Authority licence and are separately audited such

Consider becoming a tradie The Member for Monaro and Minister for Regional Development, Skills and Small Business John Barilaro, is calling on the next generation to consider an apprentice or traineeship as a long-term career option.

Mr Barilaro said the NSW Government is delivering the certainty and business confidence that has produced over 250,000 jobs since 2011 and slashed red tape by over $815 million. “What industry employers need now are more

skilled workers placed in jobs to meet their high levels of business confidence,� Mr Barilaro said. “Today’s students are not just the tradespeople of tomorrow – they are our future entrepreneurs and our future business leaders. “Electricians, carpenters and business services are the trades and traineeships the next generation should be thinking about as a career or business venture, as these are the jobs that industry needs to place skilled workers in.�

as butchers.

The voluntary Program was first piloted in 2010 and was then expanded to trial in 2011-2012.

Following feedback from Councils and food industry stakeholders a few elements of the Program have been enhanced to reduce perceived barriers to participation in the program (for example, the meaning of the ratings have been made clearer and businesses are no longer asked to sign a legal agreement to participate).

Importantly, the rating certificate that is displayed carries an explanation of what it represents, a warning about relying solely on the rating and a disclaimer from liability for Council for any acts by the food business or about the condition of the premises.

To date, the Program has been taken up by some 32 councils throughout NSW and the NSW Food Authority is now working with councils to provide marketing support to significantly increase that number. Given the number of food businesses in our Council area, the ‘Scores on Doors’ Program would greatly assist promotion of the area as a food destination and complement the ‘So Much to Love’ campaign.

How would this work: • Following Council’s existing routine inspections, eligible food premises would receive a hygiene and food safety rating based on

points allocated under the ‘Scores on Doors’ guidelines, akin to a demerit system; the standard Food Premises Assessment Report that council inspectors use promotes consistency in points allocation. • NSW Food Authority provides the certificates free of charge to councils for each of the three ratings: Good, Very Good or Excellent; businesses assessed with critical breaches are not awarded any grade or certificate. • Certificates can be issued onthe-spot at the time of the inspection, or sent out shortly afterwards. • The rating certificate would be displayed on the front window or near the entrance to the premises. • There shall be no extra work for Council staff as a result of participating in the program. • This is a voluntary program and it is the food businesses choice whether they wish to participate. • Other councils within the South East participating in the Program are Bega, Cootamundra, Goulburn, Tumut, and Palerang Council due to commence within the next 12 months. Visitors to these areas and Cooma-Monaro Shire can expect consistency with the inspections and the ratings of food premises. • Anticipated Program commencement for Cooma-Monaro Shire Council is March/April 2016, with the support from the NSW Food Authority.

the

postman calls

A media release arrived in the office this week, from the NSW police, asking drivers to stop being ‘reckless’ on our roads.

It’s a timely warning because on Saturday afternoon, The Postman witnessed no less than five idiots on the road who should have their licence suspended permanently.

First, there was the driver who overtook a loaded van over double white lines between Cooma’s caravan park and the turn-off to Cooma Steel.

Then there was the one who had to pass six cars, one at a time, over unbroken white lines alongside Coolamatong Golf Course. The oncoming traffic must have had a few heart-stopping moments.

And let’s not forget the dill who tailgated car after car down the highway from Flynn’s into Cooma.

Perhaps it is time for all vehicles to be fitted with dash cams, with an automatic link to the highway patrol - one flick of a switch and the offender is on camera showing the highway patrol where he (or she) can be found and nabbed!

It can’t be that hard for drivers to drive to the rules, surely?

How to waste money Editor, Ihave lost count of the number of times that the “elbow” section of Chapman St (just past the Elizabeth St junction) has been repaired. The word repaired is used but perhaps should be replaced by bandaged.

I recently paid the rates that council applied to the 2015-2016 financial year. With the rate notice I also received a document showing outgoings in the preceding year. This showed a sum of over 3 million dollars for local roads. Not small change to be sure, but if the quality / standard of road-work remains at its present level that cost will only increase year by year.

Throwing some blue metal into a hole and spraying some tar over the mess does not rectify the problem.

Why not do it right for once, rebuild

the road base then seal with a hot mix. Sure it will cost more, but in the long run this will reduce the need for constant patching. And save the community some money.

On another matter, Sharp St which is covered by RMS was recently sprayed with blue metal and some tar. Council was awarded a few cents by the RMS to sweep off the excess. Much of the excess is still lies in the centre of the road and a large amount lies on the shoulders to reward unwary tourists.

Surely given the effort that council has made to improve the appearance of Cooma, it would not hurt to do the job right and eliminate the excess blue metal that still waits to damage windscreens and duco.

Riposte

that this particular label’s bucket bag has acquired a “cult-like following” worldwide and that their waiting lists were massive. Really? Well then, ten points from me to the designer’s marketing team who have pulled off quite a feat here in managing to convince the fashion set that such a plain looking item is now the hottest must-have thing for the discerning label-slave. Well done, guys!

I feel I can say this because this particularly ordinary-looking bucket bag comes with a price tag of $1145, hence my astonishment. Unless it’s a misprint, but I don’t think it is.

Sure, boutique stores are full of pricey clothes and accessories and sometimes I can see why they cost so much because they are beautiful and the materials and workmanship definitely support their place on the expensive rack but try as I might, I just can’t see where the price justification is here with this particular bag. Even if the label is a major player on the fashion scene, this number looks so, well, ordinary. Admittedly, the bag in the picture is red, not a fave colour of mine and I wondered for a moment or two if this could be colouring my opinion but no, I don’t think so because even if this bag was available in the finest shade of “Lisa Blue” on the planet, I would still be raising my brows over the asking price and I still wouldn’t want to have one. Besides, I can think of a whole lot of other things I’d much rather spend $1145 on and I’d love every minute of that spree! But whatever, like I said, to each their own.

But...bucket bag...?

Lisa Ashurst I’m looking at a picture of a bucket bag. Personally not my style in bags but for those of you who are not familiar with this style, the name speaks pretty much for itself; round or oval base and shaped like, well, a bucket with straps that act as drawstrings to close it at the top. I remember having a beach bag like this when I was a child and I didn’t really like the style then either.

Maybe it’s the name. Okay, so it really does look a lot like a bucket but surely there’s a better moniker.

“Bucket” just doesn’t do it for me but I think it’s more the fact that the bag itself holds no real appeal for me whatsoever. But to each their own, I guess...

Anyway, this particular bucket bag is the product of a fashion label in New York (never heard of them to be honest), looks like it’s probably made of leather, comes in colours and for some reason the bags have managed to become the “hottest accessory of the year” according to the blurb accompanying the picture.

Fans of the bag apparently got all hot and bothered over the prospect of owning one, thus placing themselves onto waiting lists for when it arrived in Australia and the stores that carry them sold out within minutes of the bags appearing on the shelves. One store’s buyer went so far as to say

This Saturday at 1pm John Blay, Chair of the Bundian Way Advisory Committee, will be launching his book, ”On Track searching out the Bundian Way” at the Delegate School of Arts.

This is a wonderful opportunity for those with an interest in the Bundian Way and Aboriginal history and culture to hear first-hand of the experiences John has had on this ancient walking track.

It is inspiring and very humbling to consider that a track right here in the southern Monaro was being used for trade and cultural activities prior to the famous Silk Roads and the pyramids. It is something to be proud of and something that Aboriginal and non-Indigenous people can employ to foster ongoing recognition and understanding of Aboriginal history and culture.

The Bundian Way plays a key role in our efforts to development tourism and enhance social development within the Council area. Bombala Council was a founding member of the Bundian Way Advisory Committee. We have worked with the Eden Local Aboriginal Land Council and the Delegate Progress Association to establish the successful Bundian Way Gallery at Delegate and have assisted with the roll out of the project across both the Bega Valley Shire and Bombala Council areas.

It is a very exciting project to be part of and offers enormous opportunities to the community. John’s book will give new insights into the history of the Bundian Way and will no doubt provide interesting reading.

A family owned business - Cooma Furnishing Co

ROTARY CLUB OF COOMA

Cooma Furnishing Co is one of the longest running retail businesses in Cooma. Owned and run by Nick Giuliani with his three children Marco, Anita and Tania by his side, it is the welcoming and friendly expert service that has made it stand the test of time.

It was in 1955 that Nick’s father Dominic came to Australia.

With a lack of work opportunities and Europe on a downward slide financially, Dominic wanted to improve the life of his family. So he left them behind in Abruzzo, Italy in search of work on the famous Snowy Mountains Hydro Electric Scheme. Finding some little work in cabinet making, French polishing and antique restoration, Nick, his mother and his two sisters followed Dominic out to Australia in 1958.

Nick celebrated his 16th birthday on the boat trip over.

So with furniture in his blood, Nick joined the team at Cooma Furnishing Co in 1964, which was primarily furniture and electricals at the time. Before starting there, Nick completed a four-year electrical apprenticeship and then spent two years working with his father in cabinet making.

Cooma Furnishing Co was already an established business in the community, opened by Merv Blattman in 1953. Due to his electrical apprenticeship, Nick had some expertise in washing machine and so that was repair, a role in the his main ma beginning. Nick later beginn went on to start his wen own business, o B&G Home Decorators, which dealt mainly with floor coverings, only to return to Cooma Furnishing Co three Fu years later.

It was wa in 1974 that

Nick took over the business from Merv, who had decided to focus solely on his expanding real estate business.

In 1989 and in 2000, Nick was able to extend the building to add a large bedding section to the store, as well as branch into floor coverings.

Currently, Cooma Furnishing Co is part of the Furniture House Group, Beds R Us and Independent Floors, which gives them the buying power to offer competitive prices to their local customers.

The family atmosphere seems to rub off on Nick’s employees who have all been working in the store for many years. Peter Quodling retired as floor covering manager four years ago after working for Nick for 30 years. Nick says that Peter was invaluable in establishing the business with him all those years ago. Ken McGrath, who has been at Cooma Furnishing Co for 26 years, has now taken on Peter’s role and according to the whole Cooma Furnishing team, is doing an excellent job.

Kylie has been working in the office of Cooma Furnishing for 15 years, and over the last five years has been joined

by Nick’s two daughters Anita and Tania. Nick’s son Marco has worked at Cooma Furnishing for 23 years, since he left school in 1991.

Nick says that over the years he has noticed a change in furniture fashion. From traditional to modern, he says he is noticing that the Scandinavian style that was popular in the 60s is now coming into fashion again as a retro look. There have also been many new fabrics and materials used for furniture and floor coverings introduced to the market in Nick’s time, most of which make life easier. However Nick

says that the one thing that hasn’t changed is the relationship with his customers. “We work very hard on taking a personal approach,� says Nick, “We are very lucky to have such loyal customers and in some cases we have third generations of families coming in to the shop.

That’s what is so special about running a business in a country town.�

Being right on the Cooma creek, flooding has been an issue for Nick and his team.

With a line of dated photographs pinned up in the office, you can see that there have been a number of occasions that have forced them to evacuate the stock to save it from being damaged by the rising waters.

But it’s these sorts of challenges that bring Nick and his team closer together as the years go by. The collective experience of Nick and his team makes Cooma Furnishing Co the place to go for the best service and advice when it comes to buying furniture locally.

It is clear that all the staff at Cooma Furnishing Co admire Nick and the way he approaches the running of the business everyday.

Impressed with his ability to remember not only the face of every customer, but also the furniture they bought years ago, they feel proud to work with such a dedicated and kind-hearted man.

Enjoying being surrounded by his family every day and being close to his grandchildren, Nick says he cannot believe how time has flown. “It feels like yesterday that I was just starting at Cooma Furnishing,� he says, “You must try to make every day count, because time flies by so quickly.�

WATER SERVICE REPLACEMENT

NIMMITABEL SHOWGROUND

Pictured is Council Water Crew staff replacing an aged water service to a property in Cooma.

The existing galvanised iron water pipe had failed in several locations due to corrosion and was difficult to maintain as a result.

The replacement copper service is expected to have a life cycle of at least 50 years and will provide improved supply quality to the property it serves.

The installation of 2 water tanks at the Nimmitabel Showground is underway. Council was successful in obtaining funding to install and connect one tank to collect water runoff from the roof of the pavilion earlier this year. However the Boco Rock wind farm had two surplus tanks that they donated for this project. This meant that we were able to relocate two tanks of the same capacity as the one which was in the original application. The cost of relocating both these tanks was significantly less than the purchase price of a new tank.

The water will be used in the pavilion amenities and will be available for use of stock water during events such as campdrafting thereby reducing the consumption of the Nimmitabel town water supply at the Showground.

Please be advised that weather permitting, water main construction work has been programmed to commence in Orana Avenue between Babin Place and Doondoo Place. The watermain in Buddang Street will also be replaced as part of this project.

This essential work will commence from Monday 20 July 2015 and is expected to be completed within eight (8) weeks on 13 September 2015. Works will be carried out between 7:00am and 4:30pm Monday to Friday and will involve full closure of the roadway at certain times.

Road detour signage will be in place when road closures are required.

Please note: Public transport will be available along Koonee and Baroona Avenues in lieu of the Orana Avenue

route for the duration of this project.

Residents are advised that any road pavement, driveways and paths affected by the reconstruction work will be repaired/replaced as part of the project works.

Should any unforeseen problems arise relating to this work during its progress, please do not hesitate to speak with any member of Council’s on-site work crew who will be able to assist.

Council apologises for any inconvenience this work may cause and asks residents and motorists to be mindful of construction crews and machinery that will be working on and around this project.

Any enquiries can be directed to Councils Engineering Services on 6455 1801.

RESIDUAL WASTE BIN AUDIT Cooma Monaro Shire Council’s Resource and Waste Services would like to advise residents that Council will be conducting bin audits, in the Cooma township kerbside collection area during the month of August. These audits are a requirement of the Environment Protection Authority and form part of the Waste Less Recycle More Initiative funded by the Local Government Organics Collection Grant that Council has secured for the Food and Garden Waste Collection Service.

The audits will involve collecting two hundred and twenty samples (220 x 120litre bins) over a two week period.

These samples are collected at random and the data is used for statistical purposes only. Council is required to do a representative survey of the waste going to landfill prior & post, to the introduction of the Food and Garden waste bin service rollout. Householders should continue to manage their waste as they normally would and to not change their behaviour during the audit.

Council will use a “random number Generator” in the field, so that the first house number is selected randomly and without record, with each second or fifth household sampled from this starting point. At no time will the waste sample collected be connected to an address.

The audit is based on NSW Department of Environment and Heritage guidelines for conducting a household kerbside residual waste audit. Council will follow strict protocols on privacy and confidentiality to ensure individual household information is safeguarded during the audit. Cooma Monaro Shire Council is bound by the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998. To this context the audit will be conducted.

If households would prefer to be excluded from the audit or would like further information, please contact Jeff Tate on 64551922.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE BURDENS ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT The Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) is calling for public submissions for its review into reporting and compliance burdens that the NSW Government imposes on local government. Businesses and community groups are asked to make a submission as it is important that communities’ views are heard loud and clear.

Students from Timber Creek NT, visit the cold country A group of 15 students from Timber Creek Public school in the Northern Territory experienced some Monaro weather last week.

The students were on a biennial exchange with Cooma North Public School.

Their seven-day tour also included Canberra, Sydney and the snowfields.

The tour also included a visit from a baby wombat.

The students flew back to Darwin on Friday afternoon and then bussed back to Timber Creek the next day.

Plans are being developed to enable Cooma North students to visit the NT in exchange.

Students mingled in the playground for recess.

CNPS snowsports program popular with students

The Cooma North Public School Snowsports Programs (Stage 1 and Stage 2/3) were held over three days on Friday 17, Monday 20 and Friday 24 July.

Approximately 80 students took part in the programs which were held at Thredbo.

Luckily the snow had finally fallen so the students enjoyed good snow conditions in good weather.

Pictured, the students make the most of the good weather on their school snowsports days.

Snowlinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Russian adventure Travelling to Sydney we can get excited that our trip to The Baltic States and Russia is finally here.

An airport transfer on Sunday morning and the waiting begins.

The queue for immigration was to the entrance doors but never mind you just snake your way back and forth, smile nicely and eventually that bit is behind us.

A safe trip to Singapore and a welcome from Anne and Dave at our hotel, The York. For the new visitors to Singapore they explore The Flyer and Botanical Gardens with its magnificent orchids display. 24,000 taxis service Singapore with a medium family car costing $100,000.

The city seemed quiet but then we realise it is school holidays and low season for the tourists with the high humidity.

Our next flight is at midnight from Singapore and imagine our horror when we are told the delay is due to three passengers deciding

they did not want to join the flight to Frankfurt which necessitated the unloading of their luggage. And of course because we were late leaving Singapore we were late in to Frankfurt and missed our connection to Berlin.

After a lot of walking we eventually get new boarding passes for our connection on to Berlin and here we now are to commence our adventure.

The countryside is beautiful and green as we fly over and The Ritz Carlton is opulent and grand with its central location, a great bonus, many are now out exploring.

Our guide Tim has informed us there are 20 on the first part of our tour, we are meeting tonight for a get-together.

The first day of our tour rolls around as we are picked up by coach and driven to Potsdam east of Berlin. Here we go to

Cecilienhof where Stalin, Churchill and Truman met from 17 July to 2 August 1945 to decide how to punish Nazi Germany. Tim points out the picture of a house that a friend of his owns.

It is hard to believe that Potsdam residents during the time of the Berlin Wall would not have realised the river was on their doorsteps owing to the Wall running along the River.

The

and Havel River which divided the East from the West, and Potsdam from Berlin, so much so that each is responsible for half the bridge, therefore two different shades of green. Along the highway

It was taken over by the Germans during the war and they finally had the ownership returned in 1993. Even though both cities have millions in population a green belt is not far away.

complete length of the Berlin Wall was 155 kms. A small section is on display just near our hotel.

On our way to Potsdam we drive over the Glienicke Bridge

(A115), in the middle, is a set of grand stand seats which were there so spectators could watch Mercedes test drive their vehicles or other vehicle races as this area used to be a race track. When

traffic became heavier it became more difficult to reroute â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;normalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; traffic and the last race was held in 1999.

A walk near the Brandenburg Gate is obligatory while in Berlin.

This gate was built on the site of the road from Berlin to the town of Brandenburg an der Havel.

Parliament House is visited and passports have to be shown. We make our way up to the glass dome and walk to its top where 360 degree views of Berlin are admired.

Afterwards we enjoy afternoon tea at a restaurant on top of Parliament House. From here we return to our hotel, what should be a 15 minute drive turns into 1 1/4 hour drive owing to influx of visitors for the FIFA World Cup and demonstrations from local Egyptians while their Prime Minister is visiting.

Throughout the city are pipelines above the ground, first thought was a water pipeline.

The ground is so sandy and waterlogged that whenever a new construction site is started they have to install a pumping system to transfer the water from the site to the nearby canal system. Yellow, pink, purple, take your pick of the colour (each company has a different colour) the pipes go for kilometres.

Thursday rolls around and some are off to view sections of the Berlin Wall via local underground trains while others view the sights from the River Spree. A free afternoon so more exploring, Art Galleries, Hitlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bunker and place of demise, Check Point Charlie, Jewish Museum, Memorial to handicapped children murdered.

Continued next week.

Your Town More Roads to Recovery funding for Bombala Shire Council Bombala Shire Council has recently received advice from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development, Warren Truss, that amongst other announcements, the Australian Government has budgeted to provide additional Roads to Recovery (R2R) funding in 2015/16 and in 2016/17.

Bombala Council has been advised that Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s R2R funding is now: Original Life of Programme Funding $1,903,076 New Funding from Fuel Excise Change $1,001,016 New Life of Programme Funding $2,904,092

New 15-16 Allocation Up To $906,128 New 16-17 Allocation Up To $1,046,426 17-18 Allocation Up To $317,179 18-19 Allocation Up To $317,179 This funding is effectively providing an extra $300,000 in the current financial year and an extra $700,000 next financial year.

Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected R2R funding is listed in the Operational Plan and Delivery Program in the Capital projects schedule.

This additional funding will need to be considered in relation to Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategic asset management and a report on

potential projects will be presented to Council in the near future as to suggestions for these projects to maximise our community benefit.

While this funding is most welcome there will need to be consideration of how Council organises works schedules, contracts and projects to achieve the maximum benefit. A further report will be provided on priorities and projects once due consideration has been made on where best to spend this money.

Strong business conditions give RBA hope The Reserve Bank of Australia has decided to leave the official cash rate on hold for the third consecutive month as new data shows business confidence is on the rise.

At todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board meeting, the RBA decided to leave the cash rate untouched at the historically low setting of 2%.

While a few economists had predicted the Reserve Bank of Australia would cut the cash rate this month after inflation came in below the Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two to three per cent target band range, strong business confidence ultimately encouraged the RBA to leave the cash rate alone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Data from National Australia Bank shows business conditions and confidence have benefited from the tax measures targeted at micro businesses in the Federal Budget, with conditions and confidence both rising by 2 points respectively,â&#x20AC;?

Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it is not just small to medium sized enterprises that are enjoying a renewed sense of optimism, with the data showing positive momentum is broadening across all sectors and businesses. Confidence is now positive for all industries outside of the mining sector, which is something the Reserve Bank would be acutely aware of.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Flavell said the Reserve Bank would also be

acutely aware of what is happening in the property market and would want to avoid increasing housing demand further by lowering rates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;New research conducted by Core Logic shows property prices climbed 2.8% over the month of July, meaning values have now soared by 11.1% over the past 12 months,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Melbourne and Sydney continue to be largely responsible for the overall growth in dwelling values, with the capital cities recording property price growth of 4.9% and 3.3% respectively over the course of July. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no denying that demand for property in both Sydney and Melbourne is hot. In fact, so hot is the demand, especially from investors, that the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority has put a cap on investment lending growth, which has forced many of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lenders to make some sweeping changes to their pricing and policy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With so many lenders actively trying to curb their level of investment lending growth, the Reserve Bank would be careful not to incite further property investment demand by lowering rates.â&#x20AC;?

While Mr Flavell said todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board decision â&#x20AC;&#x153;made senseâ&#x20AC;?, further rate cuts could not be ruled out in the future.

Wednesday August 12, 2015

Phil Popeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local connection to Pluto pic A little over one year after Maree and I moved to Delegate, I was privileged to be part of a very special event in human exploration.

It was the launch of a new spacecraft, New Horizons Pluto Charon, or NHPC as it became known to all involved with that mission. That was the 19th of January, 2006.

Since that time my work place, Canberra Deep Space Communications Complex, has regularly been providing communications to and from the spacecraft and also ranging and position data to aid with navigation.

Now, 9 years on, at 9:49pm, Tuesday the 14th of July 2015, I had the honour to be the Team Leader of the small operations group that provided the communications to and from the spacecraft for its closest approach to Pluto.

The spacecraft passed within 12,472km from the surface of the planet.

The spacecraft was just less than 5,000 billion km from home and travelling at a speed of 49,596 km per hour, its faint calls to Earth took over 4 hours to reach us. In order to receive these faint whispers from space we cryogenically cool our receiving equipment to minus 2560 degrees Celsius to reduce thermal noise from the electronics.

We also use large precision antennas 34 and 70 metres in diameter with parabolic dish surfaces that are accurate to

within one centimetre across its 3,850 square metre area (70 metre dish).

This year is the 85th anniversary of the discovery of Pluto by Clyde Tombaugh and we have finally had our first close up view of the planet.

At Pluto the sun is about 1,000 times dimmer than on earth. Twice a day around dawn and dusk the ambient light on Earth is the same as the midday light on Pluto. Scientists call this time Pluto Time.

As I write this, New Horizons has just transitioned from Encounter back into Cruise mode to begin its long journey to the 1st target Kuiper Belt Object. It should arrive there around 2019 and hopefully we will see some interesting science on the origins of our Solar System coming from the objects in that region of space.

NSW Farmers powers RASF recognises Rural Scholarship winners in Sydney up new service Last week the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW (RAS) Foundation recognised its 2015 Rural Scholarship recipients at a presentation ceremony at Sydney Showground.

The event followed two regional NSW ceremonies hosted last month in Armidale and Wagga Wagga, where guests celebrated the achievements of the successful Rural Scholars; tertiary students who demonstrate a passion and commitment for careers that will ensure the future success of rural and regional NSW. This latest round of grants saw the RAS Foundation surpass a monumental milestone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; reaching two million dollars in giving to regional communities and individuals since its inception in 2007, through 325 grants and scholarships.

RAS Foundation Executive Officer, Kate Ross, said this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rural Scholars are an example of the type of remarkable stories the RAS Foundation is proud to support, and that the ceremonies were a great opportunity for donors to meet the students they are assisting face-toface. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The students come from a variety of backgrounds and each are passionate about why education, as well as giving back to the local community, is so important to them,â&#x20AC;? Ms Ross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We look forward to supporting these rural-minded students as they work towards achieving their goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The RAS Foundation, our scholarship donors and sponsors are also thrilled to celebrate $2

million in giving. By offering funding, support and encouragement, we can help guarantee that our rural communities are strong and vibrant now and into the future,â&#x20AC;? Ms Ross Said.

Rural Scholarships are awarded to students who are committed to building a career in regional Australia, and offer $5,000 for full-time study and $2,500 for part-time study.

Applications are now open for the 2016 Rural Scholarships. Interested applicants are encouraged to visit www.rasnsw.com.au/ Scholarships-Grants to find out more about the scholarship and to complete the online application form.

Applications close Wednesday September, 30 2015 and the recipients will be notified in early 2016.

The Research and Development arm of NSW Farmers has launched a Farm Energy information service to help food and fibre producers transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy technology.

The new service stems from the Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successful Farm Energy Program and the expertise of Energy Innovation Manager Gerry Flores.

Mr Flores said many farmers are already spearheading a move towards renewable energy technology as part of a need to reduce costs and lift farm gate returns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, there is plenty more to come in the new renewable energy sector that farmers will need to keep abreast of,â&#x20AC;? Mr Flores said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is the winding down of the generous Solar Bonus scheme in December next year, meaning farmers who have installed solar

PV systems under this scheme will need to review these assets to ensure a continued return on investmentâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;And there is somewhat of a revolution happening in battery storage that is driving big changes in the energy industry.â&#x20AC;?

The new service also aligns with Young Farmers driven shift in NSW Farmers policy to back the transition from fossil fuels towards more renewable energy sources in rural, regional and remote areas.

Mr Flores said the new service can provide farmers with independent and tailored information on the best ways to take advantage of rapid advances in renewable technology.

The service is available to all producers but is offered at a discount to NSW Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; members. Visit the NSW Farmers Web page for pricing information.

The weed detector dogs The Weeds Conference in Cooma in October will feature a new weeds weapon - detector dogs. â&#x20AC;˘ Weed managers are employing the highly-effective noses of some very cute spaniels to help protect he environment and agriculture from the threat of orange hawkweed. â&#x20AC;˘ Hawkweeds could cause serious damage if allowed to spread - losses to the grazing industry alone from orange hawkweed could be over $48 million/year â&#x20AC;˘ In NSW, hawkweed is only known from Kosciuszko National Park, where a team of over 200 volunteers are assisting Parks staff to eradicate the weed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to find, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the dogs can help.

NSW meat production up Strong autumn rainfall across NSW stimulated good pasture growth and increased sheep meat production across the state, according to the inaugural 2015 National Sheep and Wool Update.

According to the report, demand for lamb and mutton from New South Wales increased in major export markets in 2014, with the trend continuing in 2015. Lamb exports increased by 43 per cent from 2013, with greater demand recorded from both USA and China. Wool exports also regained momentum in early 2015 despite a decline in wool production across the state.

The report, launched by Rural Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specialist insights team Ag Answers, provides producers and industry with a state-by-state analysis of the sheep and wool sectors.

Rural Bank and Rural Finance General Manager of Sales and

Business Development, Andrew Smith said that while conditions vary across the country, particularly in drought-affected areas, the picture for the New South Wales sheep industry was the strongest it had been for many years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheep prices, particularly heavy export lambs, continue to rise for New South Wales producers.

Farmers who were well stocked leading into Christmas have seen their business well-positioned for the remainder of 2015,â&#x20AC;? Mr Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While challenges remain, sheep producers can deservedly be optimistic about the future of the industry.â&#x20AC;?

Nationally, high commodity prices and a lower Australian dollar, combined with a buoyant wool market and renewed international demand for Australian lamb, has produced an extremely positive outlook for the Australian sheep industry,

according to the report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Advantageous market conditions combined with a national flock of less than 70 million has reinvigorated the sheep and wool industry, leading to above-average prices and increased international demand for its products,â&#x20AC;? Mr Smith said.

The 2015 National Sheep and Wool Update provides farmers with vital countrywide statistics and analysis of key trends in global and domestic markets.

In addition to the national data, the report includes statebased statistics on recent and predicted rainfall, sheep meat production and flock size, wool production, domestic demand and export performance, as well as lamb, mutton and wool price analysis.

New pest controls for wild dog management

www.monaropost.com.au

NSW Farmers has welcomed the NSW Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to make Canid Pest Ejectors (CPEs) available to farmers as a tool for managing wild dogs.

Environment Minister Mark Speakman has approved a pesticide control order which will allow trained landholders to use CPEs which complement existing baiting controls.

CPEs are a target specific pest control tool which ejects the contents of a 1080 capsule into the mouth of a wild dog or fox. Landholders will be required to complete training in the proper use and handling of the 1080 ejectors.

NSW Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wild dog spokesman, Mark Horan, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Enabling the use of CPEs will

allow farmers to take a proactive approach to pest control rather than waiting for serious damage to livestock to occur before being able to act.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The advantage of CPEs is that they are target specific, easily located on a map, reduce the amount of meat baits in the environment and cannot be moved by non-target animals.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whilst this is not the complete answer to farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wild dog problems, CPEs will substantially make a difference to on-farm pest control.â&#x20AC;?

NSW Farmers also welcomes the free feeding of pigs that has been amended in the Pest Control Order. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pig densities in some western parts of the state

greatly outweigh the numbers of wild dogs. These high densities have previously created problems by ingesting baits laid for wild dogs, but with the baits having no effect on the pigs.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;These two pest control orders will complement each other by allowing a targeted option for wild dogs and a higher strength free feeding option for pig control.â&#x20AC;?

NSW Farmers has been working closely with the Local Land Services, National Parks, Environmental Protection Authority, and NSW DPI to progress the uptake of 1080 ejector training and the support for these management options.

Fire inquiry findings NSW Farmers has urged the government to adopt all 29 recommendations from the NSW Upper House inquiry into the January 2013 fires at Wambelong, near Coonabarabran.

The call by farmers comes ahead of the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anticipated response on 20 August to the inquiryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations.

Rod Young, a sheep and grain farmer from Coonabarabran, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fire was devastating for the local community. It has traumatised those in its path, taking an enormous financial and mental toll.â&#x20AC;?

The fire burned over a period of 41 days, scorching more than 56,000 hectares of land, destroying 53 homes and more than 1100 livestock.

Key recommendations of the Upper House inquiry included: â&#x20AC;˘ more frequent and structured hazard reduction burns on public land â&#x20AC;˘ an enhanced network of fire trails in national parks â&#x20AC;˘ greater respect for the volunteer fire-fighters in the Rural Fire Service, and greater use of local knowledge in fire fighting efforts â&#x20AC;˘ standardised communications equipment across different government agencies fighting fires The inquiry also recommended the relocation of the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) headquarters to a regional location.

NSW Farmers passed a motion expressing full support for the inquiryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations at its recent annual conference in Sydney. In addition to supporting the inquiryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations, a motion specifically calling for the NSW RFS headquarters to be moved to the Central West of NSW was also passed. Mr Young said it is important that these recommendations be implemented as soon as possible to prevent the next mega-fire.

Weeds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Future: Innovation and Adaptation October this year will see approximately 200 people involved in the noxious weeds control industry converge on Cooma for the 18th NSW Weeds Conference.

Between October 12 to 15, Conference attendees will discuss all things weeds; including the latest improvements in weed control, technological advances, projects and trials that are being undertaken throughout the State, and legislative changes that may affect the way noxious weeds are controlled in the future.

The Conference will also give attendees a chance to network with people in similar industries so as to take home better ways of managing weeds in their area. Field tours are planned to demonstrate not only the challenges that we face when it comes to weeds in the Monaro region, but also display the assets we are trying to protect.

Cooma-Monaro Shire Council is happy to introduce five keynote speakers to the Conference, all of whom have a wealth of experience in their chosen field and topic of discussion.

The subject matter of each speaker, whilst being quite varied, will be in-keeping with the Conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary theme â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weeds- The Future: Innovation and Adaptationâ&#x20AC;?. In an ever-changing world of technology and research as well as tightening budgets, finding the most cost-efficient ways of effectively controlling noxious weeds is imperative to ensure sustainability.

Meeting these changes and challenges with a positive and proactive approach by all involved in weed control is the best way to ensure that weed control is not an impossible burden to be passed on to the next generation. This will involve everyone, from those people getting their hands dirty controlling weeds on their properties right through to those that create the legislation.

The Conference is an ideal opportunity for all to become involved and discuss their concerns for their related industry, including current issues such as the formation of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Local Land Servicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and possible Council mergers. In conjunction with the 18th NSW Weeds Conference, Cooma-Monaro Shire Council will be holding the Monaro Agricultural Trade Exhibition

(MATE Trade Day). This Exhibition will be open to general public as well as the Conference attendees and aims to provide access to the latest equipment and products associated with noxious weed control and agriculture.

The Exhibition will provide operators with the opportunity to promote their businesses, meet and talk to potential customers, and illustrate their specific area of expertise. There will be an area set aside for the demonstration of many of the products and equipment, allowing people to gauge the relevance of such to their individual needs.

The Monaro Region has a lot to offer locals and visitors alike, and local tourism operators are also encouraged to participate at the Exhibition as it is an opportunity to promote not only the Monaro Region but also their business to potential travellers who in the future may see Cooma as a destination for their next vacation following information on hand at this event.

Keynote Speakers James Litchfield OBE Grazier - Hazeldean Cooma NSW Invasive weed species are not a problem for agriculture alone.

James Litchfield has worked in the Merino sheep and cattle industry since early adulthood and is a well-respected member of the rural community renowned for his ongoing support of research into modernising livestock production and environmental care.

He received an OBE in 1972 for services to the wool industry.

Fourth generation, James Litchfield developed the Hazeldean Angus Stud founded by his father and expanded the size and influence of both the Merino and Angus studs.

He has been recognised as a pioneer in the application of proven scientific research and for his contribution to Australian livestock production with a number of awards.

These include the Beef Improvement Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Howard Yelland Award for services to the beef industry in 1988, the Eliza Furlonge Medal for services to sheep breeding and science, the NSW Department of Agriculture and Fisheries Shield for support and co-

operation, election as Fellow of the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics in 1995 and the Helen Newton Turner Medal for contribution to genetic improvement in the Merino industry 1997.

state. I also aim to compare life stylers to farmers on selected weed management issues. What ideals about future landscapes are embodied in weed management decisions? How are decisions about weeds made?

Nicholas Gill Australian Centre for Cultural Environmental Research University of Wollongong Living with weeds, learning about weeds: Weed management, values, and attitudes among lifestyleoriented rural landholders. Weeds are a something of a hot topic in social science.

In part this arises from debates, largely within ecological sciences, about how we are to live on a planet dominated by human activity and where the environmental â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;baselinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that have for so long underpinned environmental thinking and policy can, arguably, no longer be taken for granted.

Such debates pit concepts such as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;novel ecosystemsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and acceptance of irreversible environmental change against long standing ideas of environmental â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;purityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and a strong impulse to roll back change and restore ecosystems to a favoured past

Peter Doherty and Peter Brenton, Atlas of Living Australia The Atlas of Living Australia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; tools to assist weed managers in data capture, management, discovery, visualisation and

analysis The Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) is a collaborative, national project that aggregates biodiversity data from multiple sources and makes it available and usable online.

Check out their webiste at http:// www.ala.org.au/ It provides advanced on-line tools to assist in biodiversity data capture, management, discovery, visualisation and analysis. The ALA is building tools for communities to create and edit additional information about species â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which could include details for weeds, such as their identification, mapping and management.

ALA can support citizen science or other community efforts in surveying, mapping and analysis of weeds and other species, and can empower the community to look for and report what they find to experts and agencies responsible for emergency response. The ALA can allow more powerful analyses of potential species distribution, and impacts on biodiversity.

The ALA does not have to host data, which can stay in the ownership of the relevant public or state agency, but allows public access to upload and pool multiple data sources in real time and provides open source powerful analytical tools to analyse the data for drivers and patterns using all the nationally available environmental data layers. The ALA has already become a basis for increasing the effectiveness of weed mapping, data access and analysis and effective weed management.

Data, tools and processes are also now available to empower local stakeholder groups to make effective evidence-based decisions around weed management.

Local physios to help Cooma tradies The Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) has declared that this August will again be Tradies National Health Month, educating Australian tradies to keep a check on their health and well being.

Local physiotherapy clinic Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy will be supporting the month long awareness campaign with an event on Wednesday August 26. This event will see Physiotherapist Edward Moore educate local tradies how to care for their body with a FREE talk to be held at Anytime Fitness Cooma.

The FREE talk will show tradies exercises for injury prevention, particularly for back and knee strength, stretches for injury prevention and stiff joints and tight muscles, and the right way to lift, bend and move around the work place and at home.

Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy has teamed up with Anytime Fitness to host the event at their Cooma gym at 108 Commissioner Street Cooma. Everyone is invited to attend the free eventincluding tradies and non-tradies, gym members and nonmembers.

The overall Tradies Health Month campaign focuses on health (physical and mental), safety on site and the positive effects that physiotherapy can have on those that work in a labour intensive industry.

“We are so excited to support this outstanding campaign.

Local tradies make up a significant percentage of our business and it always concerns us the stress they put on their bodies. It is important that we send them a timely reminder to look after their health and well-being!” says Renee Pirozzi owner of Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy.

Growing from strength to strength since the initial campaign in 2013, the Australian Physiotherapy Association CEO Cris Massis is proud that the program will continue to spread the important message of health, well being and safety within the trade industry.

“Tradies are at the core of Australia’s foundation, without them our country wouldn’t tick. From apprentices to seasoned tradies, it is important that they all look after themselves 24/7. Health and wellbeing should be a tradies most important and valued tool.

We had over 260,000 tradies on board last year so we hope this number grows further in 2015.”

“We are so proud that the Australian Physiotherapy Association is able to support tradies. Physiotherapists are always using their skills to care for tradies so we wanted to continue this support beyond the consulting room,” said APA CEO Cris Massis.

Every day ten tradies are badly injured at work, with nearly all roofers, plumbers and labourers experiencing back pain, muscle stress and strain from their trade. Mental health is also a significant issue with around 18% of injured workers having to seek mental health services after being off work for more than six months.

The Australian Physiotherapy Association have kindly donated lucky door prizes for those that attend the Cooma event held by Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy.

Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy’s Tradies National Health Month event is on 26th August 2015 at 6pm at Anytime Fitness Cooma – 108 Commissioner Street, Cooma. To register for the FREE event please email Reneep@snowyphysio.com.au or call 6452 4203.

Cooma Colts count down to end of season Full On Constructions and Rhythm Snow Sports Under 6’s The under six Cooma Colts had a great game this Sunday. We were defeated by Tuggeranong South at their home grounds 26 to 16. The young Colts had a very strong defence and really worked well as a team to take down the opposition. Nate Stokes, Jesse Hurford and Aiden Dixon were always in the thick of it. The kids are also really starting to put their feet down with some strong runs from Ikhani Smith and William Bryan whilst Tyler Lee and Harper Woolf threw a few good passes adding another element to their young game. It is amazing to see how far they have come this season and with our last game next week at home it’s sure to be impressive.

South East Embroidery Under 7’s The Colts travelled to Woden on Sunday to take on the Rams who have been undefeated this season. The Colts were very strong in their defence with every player doing their part. The Colts met their match though with the same display in defence from the Rams with some good solid runs from Jackson Cook, Mitchell Fletcher, Cooper Lee, Lachlan Burchall, Bailey Benn and Ari Geach. After some constant testing of the Rams line, Riley McKenzie was able to bust through with some blistering speed and was able to cross for the first four pointer of the game.

The Colts held the Rams scoreless with solid defence from Othon Morgan, Kyte Lee, Jackson Lee and Lachlan Bryan, but a constant turnover of the ball in the last half of the game allowed the Rams to put on 3 quick tries in the last 5 minutes to steal the game from the Colts 12 to 4. It was one of the best games the Colts have played this year, but just could not hold on in the end. The McDonalds award went to Jackson Lee and the medal winner this week was Bailey Benn.

Snowy River Painting Under 8’s – Black The under 8’s Colts Black took on the South Tuggeranong Red team in Canberra. Coming up against the well-drilled Knights team the young Colts knew they had a challenge ahead of them.

Lachlan Sky took on the challenge making some solid runs and bone rattling tackles. Dempsey Woolf worked well in defence taking on the bigger and harder members of the Knights team. Jack Dunn, Ayden Palmer and Charlie Payne made some strong runs up the middle. Wyatt Hurford weaved in and out of the Knights defensive line making it hard for them to tackle him, whilst gaining some much needed metres. Charlie Perea did his job as the last line of defence, stopping the Knights from crossing the line on more than one occasion. Natasha Kelly showed us how tough she is after being hit hard, but shook it off and took on the defensive line with some great runs. Player of the day went to Lachlan Sky and the Managers Award went to Wyatt Hurford. The young Colts were unlucky to cross the line but should hold their heads up high. Final score 26-0.

Monaro Constructions Under 8’s – White It was a great day in Queanbeyan for the Under 8’s White to take on the Kangaroos.

We got off to a good start with Tyrell Bartlett scoring his first of three tries in the first set of six. Maccas award went to Bailey Taylor who played hard in attack and made some good metres each time with the ball. Jett Kelly was a stand out with his foot work that saw him over the line for two tries.

Conner Nelson was happy to face off with a few of the bigger Roos in some big hit ups. Man of the match this week went to Khian Flanagan for a great game in defence and he was nicely assisted by Archie Blyton and Jayden Hart. Ashton Dibley also made some big tackles and converted one of the

two great tries by Hunter Caldwell. The Colts were in good form to take the win over the Roos 36 - 16.

Monaro Panel Beaters Under 9s The U9’s Colts played the Bungendore Tigers at Bungendore this weekend and after the long haul up there the boys started the game with little enthusiasm, from the onset the boys struggled and with numerous bad calls going against them they found it hard to get into the first half. The second half saw the boys switch on and led by Rhys Cleverly who scored two tries for the game, the Colts started putting real pressure on the Tigers. Charlie Fleming tried hard to break the Tigers line all game and tackled hard again,.

Cameron Filtness was punishing in defence pulling off some excellent hits earning himself the hitman award this week.

Brendan Rees played another strong game talking in defence and tackling strongly also picking himself up the man of the match medal. Jacob Smith chose his opportunities from dummy half and was unlucky not to cross the line as did Josh Williams who ran strongly and was stopped just

short of the line also. Lucas Umback defended well again and tried hard. Lee Morgan had an excellent game running strongly and making some great breaks only to be stopped short of the line and punched above his weight in defence.

Zane Usher-Rodahl tried throughout the game and had some excellent runs and also defended well. Clayton Clark was a real team player and showed great leadership the whole game talking in defence and motivating the boys throughout the game crossing the line twice, playing by far his best game of the year great job Clayton. Unfortunately the Colts ran out of time and the final score for the game was 18-26 to the Tigers. Try scorers Clayton Clark 2, Rhys Cleverly 2.

Conversions Charlie Fleming. Player of the match Brendan Rees, Maccas Award Rhys Cleverly, Hitman Award Cam Filtness Highland Ground Spreading Under 11’s The U11 Colts travelled to Nicholls to take on the competition leaders Gungahlin Bulls, we had a great warm up and all players were ready to play. The first half was a very tough and tight affair, both teams trading good running metres and great defence. We made the Bulls work very hard to earn their 18-6 half time lead. With many great performances all round, we were led around the park by Jack O’Donnell, Kristian Zusak and Lachie Hemphill, and all ran the ball with a lot of purpose and extra vigour giving us good field position all game. Lachie grabbing himself a spectacular intercept and unlucky not to streak away. Kayla

Fleming produced one of the best games you’ll ever see, defence a standout and took their defence head on all game.

James Bannon took on the defence a little wider than usual and paid dividends making valuable metres with each run and scoring a try. Ryan Monday was thrust into the game early after a minor injury to Talon Kelly and showed plenty of enthusiasm as always. On the fringes Aron Umback and Jack Newson impressed again with excellent defence and strong running, using every ounce of energy and strength to make very good metres. Cody Clarke and River Wilkinson chased everything down all game, putting their bodies on the line in defence and charging strongly with the ball. Shawn Ingham as always played a very good game out wide, keeping the team numbered up in defence. Barrett Bannon came on in the 2nd half and produced some heavy hits to make his presence felt. Despite going down 36-6 to the competition leaders the team put in a great effort and gave them a run for their money.

Mainstreet Under 12’s The U12 Colts travelled to Bungendore to take on the Tigers this weekend. Down to a 10 man side the U12 Colts put up a very brave fight. Alex “The Pitbull” Aitkenhead and Adam “The Bee” Constance tackled brilliantly. Alex pushed through the defence to score, while Adam buzzed his way through and around the defence. Travis Kelly and Colby McDonald delivered the ball well out wide. Travis’ passing game was superb and looked amazing, while Colby showed great spark to score. Jayden “The Wall” Donald Smith charged at the line and never stopped chasing if the opposition made a break. Jonah Perea kept the pressure on the 5th tackle kickers. He was up in their face and got the sets rolling out of dummy half. Hudson Laird and Clinton Filtness fed off each other. Clinton getting short passes off to Hudson who showed great speed to score from his own half. Clinton took on the line, poking his head through the defence on a number of occasions. Darcy Clarke and Tynan McKenzie ran hard and tackled even harder. Both produced long runs and big hits. Lachlan McGufficke showed lots of passion, driving hard into tackles and showing great touch to offload. Medal went to Alex, 3 points Clinton, 2 points Colby, 2 points Jayden. Final score Cooma 22 Bungendore 12.

Well done boys.

Cooma Colts count down to Cooma retains end of season Cottontails Cup Cooma Golf report by Garry Atkinson

Continued from page 36...

Franks Butchery Under 13’s The under 13 Colts travelled to North Canberra and played the Gungahlin Bulls. Cooma went into to the match with only 10 players but with high spirits Cooma started on the upper foot with Nic Zusak finding the side line from the kick-off, then shortly to come Noah Saddler scored in the corner. A few mistakes whilst in attack gave the ball to the bulls and they bounced back and scored. Cooma really showed real depth in their side with Jake Galvin, Jake Quodling, Josh Sharkey, Kiah Joyce and Jason Kelly all making good metres.

When the bulls were in attack Cooma’s defence was fantastic with every player doing a great job.

The second halve started with Cooma throwing the ball out wide and James McGufficke run 60 metres and was unlucky not to score. Cooma started to get tired in defence with bulls running up hard, but never gave up with Tyler Rees, Nic Zusak, Noah Saddler and Will Cahill leading the charge with some brutal defence on boys a lot bigger than them. Cooma Scored two more times with Jake Quodling finding a hole in the defence and sprinting away to score. The last try for Cooma was a created by the Cooma’s halfback Nic Zusak stepping the defence and kicking for his winger in Kiah Joyce who caught the ball and scored in the corner.

Cooma showed the crowd they have a lot of skill and don’t know the meaning to giving up, several parents from the opposition applauded and commented how committed Cooma were.

I am super proud of all the boys for being so under strengthen and never giving up for each other. Coaches’ award this week went to Jake Galvin who had a great game all round. 1 point- Nic Zusak 2 points Noah Saddler 3 points Tyler Rees Gungahlin Bulls 24 beat Cooma 12.

Service One Alliance Bank Under 15’s The under 15’s travelled to Goulburn on Sunday to play Goulburn Stockmen, and become minor Premiers for the fourth time in six years. With an early morning start on the mini bus and a couple of car loads these boys were full of cheek and energy before hitting Goulburn. The boys came out ready to play and Liam Rankin was first to find the try line after taking on the opposition darting over to score, with Lachlan Inskip converting.

Goulburn hit back scoring 2 quick tries but Liam Rankin again took off down the side line and after clashing heads, bounced over the try line, leaving the score 10 all at half time. Coming into the second half after a great pass from Lachlan Inskip, Will Saddler raced over the try line and scored. Goulburn again scored 2 tries but Big Bad Bill Zammit pushed his way over to score and Lachlan Inskip converted.

With the score 20 to 22 Goulburn was in the lead so the boys pulled their socks up and with 2 minutes to go and some fantastic passes Liam Rankin scored his hat trick and Lachlan Inskip converted, leaving the score 26 points to 22 points.

These boys are a great bunch of kids and should be very proud of themselves for where they have got themselves this year, with a few new players and a few players that have played for quite a long time these boys know how to pull themselves together on the field but also off the field, the jokes and laughs between these kids is great to see.

Big Thank you to Tammy Byrne for driving the bus and doing first aid, Big thank you to Marlene Bottom for also doing first aid and Brian Chelin for running the line. Points this week went to Lachlan Inskip 3, Liam Rankin 2, Bill Zammit 1.

Friendly inter club rivalry Red Devils U14s 62-0 win is the order of the day Cooma CRT under 14s played Canberra Grammar on Saturday at Rotary Oval. Cooma started the game strongly with some great running rugby moving the ball around nicely.

Cooma was able to dominate most aspects of the match with improved defence around the ruck contest. Cooma was able to capitalise on their opportunities and by showing great enthusiasm around the park as all players showed a willingness to get their hands on the ball.

This Cooma under 14s team has shown great potential as a playing unit as well as several players demonstrating vast improvements each game and it is having a great impact on the team’s weekly performances.

Cooma convincing winners 62 nil. Multiple scorers for Cooma, with Keegan Caldwell and Remy Oldrey, scoring a double for the day.

Also across the line were, Colby Evans, James Hayden, Darnel Bartlett, Daniel Stove, Bailey

Rogers and Daruis cook.

Bailey converted four goals and Jake and James kicked one each.

With one competition game left this week against Radford at home, Cooma will be looking for little improvements as they continue their march to the finals and strive to be the team to beat in the competition.

Points for Cooma, Darnel Bartlett 3pt, Keegan Caldwell, 2pt, Bailey Rogers, 1pt and Daniel Stove 1pt.

Field and Game team with their prizes.

This annual event is contested each year in Falls Creek and attracts teams from a number of schools in Victoria and NSW. The competition is a team event and requires team members to be multidisciplined on the snow, as it contains events in Cross Country, Alpine and Snowboard.

Each team consists of a maximum of 16 secondary students, and collectively they must field 12 members in each of the competitions. The point score is a total of all competitions so it is vital that the group function as a unit, maximizing finishing places of all their team members.

This year the SMGS team of Kate Hobbs, Harry Marshall, Meagan Bartlett, Sam Weston, Tolina

Davis, Josh Kuner, Sophie Nicholl, Declan Burke, Indiana Hansen, Aidan Machin, Antonia Murphy, Jack Machin, Isabelle Beaton, Bentley WalkerBroose, Rebecca Matthes, and Charles Beaton, had a resounding victory, taking out the overall trophy and winning both girls and boys overall point scores. This year, for the first time SMGS won the Cross Country section as well as being dominant in the Alpine GS and Skiercross competitions.

The competition is organized by Heath Matheson from Mt Beauty Secondary College and he is ably assisted by the Falls Creek Management Resort and Lift Company who both support this competition each year.

Fortitude Physio backing Tradies’ Week The Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) has declared that this August will again be Tradies National Health Month, educating Australian tradies to keep a check on their health and well being.

Chosen to be the face of the national campaign this year is actor and comedian, Shane Jacobson.

Jacobson has been a regular patient to his own physiotherapist for the past 20 years and will front the crusade to improve tradies health.

The overall campaign focuses on health (physical and mental), safety on site and the positive effects that physiotherapy can have on those that work in a labour intensive industry.

“We understand that for most tradies the focus is on trying to get the job done rather than their health, we would like to create awareness around the importance of maintaining a tradies health and lifestyle.”

The Australian Physiotherapy Association CEO Cris Massis is proud of this campaign and says “Tradies are at the core of Australia’s foundation, without them our country wouldn’t tick. From apprentices to seasoned tradies, it is important that they all look after themselves 24/7. Health and wellbeing should be a tradies most important and valued tool. We had over 260,000 tradies on board last year so we hope this number grows further in 2015.”

The APA report “every day ten tradies are badly injured at work, with nearly all roofers, plumbers and labourers experiencing back pain, muscle stress and strain from their trade. Mental health is also a significant issue with around 18% of injured workers having to seek mental health services after being off work for more than six months.”

Cooma Bowling Club needs to find a new president Only 15 social bowlers braved the unpleasant weather on Wednesday with the green running very well.

Mike Mannile and Jack Sajina were travelling smoothly at 13/7 against Mario Frezza and Graham Vale on 12 but dropped four shots on 13 to “Kick Start” Graham and Mario who went on to win 23/21.

Max Butler played Swinging Lead for Renate Winckel and Geoff Venables and for Mary Phillips and Terry Croker.

Max, Mary and Terry were quick off the mark and never let up in winning 24/15. Mary Boller, Judy Locker and Bob Douglass were on five shots for five ends against Max Povey, Allan Crowe and Ron Wainwright to trail 5/10.

Four shots on 14 and five on 15 gave them a small lead, 18/16 on 19. Five shots on 20 to Max, Allan and Ron gave them the game 21/18.

In a Minor Singles match Peter Harris made a dream start against Don Jarvis when he scored eight shots over the first three ends to lead Don 8/0.

This eight shot lead was extended to 12 by end 16.

Although Don’s game improved from that point on Peter was able to counter most of Don’s moves and went on to win 31/15 to move into the Semi-final.

John Vincent and Ron Wainwright played their SemiFinal of the Minor Singles on Saturday with John gaining an early 12/2 lead on end six. Ron started to get a few shots on the board and by end 23 the scores were locked up 21/21 and 25/25 on 29. Five one shot ends to John put him in the box seat to finish up with a three shot end to gain a place in the Final 31/28 after 37 ends.

Eighteen social bowlers

enjoyed glorious sunshine and a slightly faster than usual green for three rinks of triples.

Dawn Russell, Mary Murphy and Graham Vale found conditions to their liking in their match with Sergio Roncelli, Keith Goodwin and Giulio D’Amico when they set up a 13/1 lead after just six ends.

Although Giulio’s team outscored their opponents over the concluding ends they went down 13/22.

Ken Rees, Maureen D’Amico and Peter Marsicano played winning bowls for the first 12 ends when they were in front 13/8 against Max Butler, Mary Phillips and Cheryl Meillon. Max, Mary and Cheryl then set about retrieving the position and were rewarded for their effort with an 18 to 17 victory.

Sometimes people issue a challenge and arrange a couple of teams as was the case in the final Social game last Saturday. Bob Douglass, Renate Winckel and Jack Sajina were the challengers against Mike Mannile, Daphne Buckley and Geoff Venables and were soon in trouble on the score card when they trailed 5/12 after 10 ends. Mike, Daphne and Geoff then showed no mercy to the Challengers and went on to win with shots too numerous to mention against so few as to be embarrassing. It is understood there are no plans for a rematch.

The Minor Singles moved a little closer to completion with the match between Mick Mayhew and Colin Roberson on Sunday.

Colin made a good start, keeping Mick on three for four ends whilst he advanced to an 11/3 lead. Mick set about the task of retrieving the situation but Colin was able to counter most

of Mick’s moves and increased his lead to 22/11 on end 22 and go on to win 31/13 and move into the Semi-final where he will meet Peter Harris on a date to be arranged.

Ken Rees, Steve Seears and Mark Buckley found themselves down 3/12 after eight ends against Cheryl Meillon, Don Jarvis and Jack Sajina and 9/18 after f15. Ken, Steve and Mark won five of the remaining ends but lost 15/19. Renate Winckel, Peter Marsicano and Brian Seears were anchored on four shots for eight ends by Olga Jebbink, Kim Weston and Geoff Venables to trail by 15 shots on 13. They won five of the remaining eight ends but could not make up the difference to give victory to Olga, Kim and Geoff 23/15. Keith Goodwin, Mario Frezza and Giulio D’Amico were leading Daphne Buckley, Ron Wainwright and Paul Cannell 10/3 on 10 and promptly dropped five shots on 11.

Although Keith, Mario and Giulio held the lead for a further three ends their opposition stormed home in winning 17 shots in five ends to win 27/15.

The Annual General Meeting of the Mens Club last Sunday was attended by a small group of members but, unfortunately had to be abandoned due to no nomination for, or offers to accept, position of President.

President Colin indicated that for personal reasons he was not prepared to accept reelection and consequently a further meeting will be held at the Club on Sunday August 23, commencing at 11am.

If a President is not elected at that meeting then the Club will not be able to continue to function. Please give it some serious thought.

Valiant Fillies beaten in extra time A valiant second half effort was not enough for the Cooma Fillies, as they were defeated by the Narooma She-devils 18-16 in the Preliminary Final on Sunday, ending the Fillies season for 2015.

The Fillies began the first half slowly and Narooma notched up three quick tries to lead 16-0 and the game seemed on a downhill slide for the Cooma girls, but nobody told them that their season looked over, perfectly executing a resurgence.

Georgie Clarke and Tammy Povey defended hard, while Kate Schofield at fullback was outstanding as the last line of defence.

Line breaks from Meg Bracher, Abby Schofield, Anna Steel and Alana Nichols kept the Fillies moving forward and with just a minute to go in the first half, Abby Schofield slid through Narooma’s defence for the Fillies first try with the half time score reading 16-6 and the Fillies back in the game.

In the second half and with the wind at their backs, the Fillies were in control. Raen Brademanne, Erin Donnelly, Katey Patricks and Yasmin Williams controlled the flanks, while Ashleigh Steinke and Louise Barron made back-toback tags with Elise Dyball and Kailey Tonini in support.

Both teams fought hard but the Fillies got ahead.

Georgie Clarke and Kristy Nicholls powered through the line, while Meg Bracher’s kicking game gained valuable ground for the Cooma side.

The Fillies improved their position through a try to Kate Schofield who slid through with gusto, though the d away, and victory conversion was waved was in sight.

Red Devils season over The Cooma Red Devils travelled to Goulburn to contest the first round of elimination finals on Saturday, and came away with a disappointing 20-7 loss at the hands a very committed and well drilled RMC side.

From the opening whistle Cooma had the majority of the ball and with this early possession came good field position.

Strong runs from Phil Johnson, Tom Ladhams and Ryan Morgan got Cooma in great attacking range but RMC’s defence held strong and Cooma could not find a way to post

any early points.

Cooma came very close to scoring when James Nichols got an off load away to Josh Fraser who was deemed to be held up over the line.

With no points to show for all the hard work Cooma lost its intensity and RMC were able to pounce onto a couple of Cooma mistakes and take the play to the other end of the field where they were able to score three first half tries.

Half time saw Cooma talk about intensity at the break down and letting the ball sing in

the backline. After half time Cooma lifted its intensity but RMC were very good at spoiling the Red Devils ball at the break down, which meant that with the turn overs RMC could apply great pressure to the Cooma defence but strong tackling from Adam Schubert, Leighton Bates and Matt Jamison stopped many of these attacking raids.

Cooma came close to scoring mid way through the second half when Chris De Rooy was held up over the try line.

Late in the half RMC kicked a penalty goal

Local U13s rugby derby

Cooma’s U13 Red Devils took to John Connor Oval primed for a good contest last Saturday, in what can only be described as a tale of two halves.

The early exchanges showed promise as Cooma were keen to get to the breakdown and also showed some solid defence, with good tackling by Will Cahill and Aramis Fitzgerald.

A few errors and a try to Jindabyne in broken play seemed to encourage the big men from Jindabyne and the flood gates opened.

Halftime score Jindabyne 41 Cooma 0.

Whatever was said at halftime by Coach Anthony had a dramatic effect as a totally committed

to extend its lead to 20-0. Cooma scored a late consolation try right on full time when try scoring machine Pat Egan brushed through the defence and scored under the posts.

This made the final score 20-7 and meant that Cooma was now out of the finals and left to ponder what could of been.

The players would just like to thank all those people who supported and helped out over the season, and we hope to see you all back next year for another year of Cooma Red Devils Rugby.

MHS U/15 basketballers

Cooma side came out and really took the game to Jindabyne.

Strong runs by Zac, Will and Angus took Jindabyne by surprise and Will Cahill went over for Cooma’s first try.

The gamed turned into an armwrestle and Cooma matched Jindabyne with their intensity, resulting in a great try to Josh Sharkey. Jindabyne scored late in the game.

Final score Jindabyne 58 Cooma 12. Points Aramis Fitzgerald 3, Zac Van Der Plaat 2, Will Lehrmann 1.

Pictured, the Under 13s match.

Congratulations to Monaro High School U/15 Basketballers who travelled to Bega last Friday to contest the Eurobodalla Zone Shield.

After a great day of basketball both teams made it to the Grandfinal.

The Girls went down to Bateman’s Bay by 1 point in extra time and the Boys team also lost to Bateman’s Bay in another high intensity close fought match.

Both teams represented Monaro High school with outstanding

sportsmanship and school spirit.

MVPs for the day were Abby Freimanis and Pierre Wall and best defenders were Taneka Williams and Jimmy Harding.

A big thankyou to Brian Geach, Chloe Geach and Jacob Wenban for assisting with coaching and refereeing and for supporting the team throughout the day.

Cooma Stallions 2015 season is over The Stallions season came to a shuddering halt at the hands of a rejuvenated and enthusiastic Bega Roosters on Sunday.

A warm day greeted the teams and virtually from the kick off Bega showed ook the their hand. Their enthusiasm took Stallions by surprise and they certainly ter what learnt from their previous encounter sm is on can happen when the enthusiasm the other foot.

Although as the game progressed ogressed the Stallions fought valiantly to get back into the match and momentum did turn in their favour a couple of times,, simple

errors halted this and Bega made the Stallions pay the price and each time hit back with tries.

In what has been a successful year for the club as a whole, it was a disappointing end to the year. The guys really had the remaining teams on notice with their form over the last month

but semis are high pressure games and Bega handled the pressure much better than the Stallions in this game.

All the guys tried hard and did not leave anything in the tank. There were a couple carrying injuries into the game but at this time of year that is the norm. Final score Bega 52 def Cooma 24.

The guys are now celebrating the end of the season and this will culminate in the presentation night at the Ex-Services Club on Saturday August 29. Everyone is welcome to attend.

The Stallions would like to thank their major sponsor for the year the Cooma Ex-Services Club. Thanks also to all our jumper sponsors and our gold sponsor, Cooma Hotel.

Without these generous spons sponsors it would be impossible to field four teams in the Group 16 competition.

Work is already underway to secure competitio and coaches for the 2016 competition hopefully an announcement will be made at the end of season function.

Bushpigs win a home grand final The Jindabyne Bushpigs have won a home grand final after defeating Milton last Saturday at John Connors Oval.

The Bushpigs finished the season as minor premiers, despite losing their last game to the Bungendore Mudchooks.

Last Saturday, the Bushpigs met a determined but undermanned opponent which made early scoring a challenge.

However, Liam Pepper opened the Bushpigs account with a try under the posts.
