It’s NSW Carers Week! Carer Assist hosted a morning tea at the Lolly Shack last Wednesday in honour of Mental Health Month. The morning tea was followed by an education session at the Carer Assist office above the Taffa Building in Sharp Street, Cooma. The session was called ‘Caring for Self’ and it highlighted the importance of carers looking after themselves as well as others. Carers advocate Cherie Adams facilitated the session and said that there needs to be more awareness and open communication regarding support for carers. “Carers are often faced with a

very difficult journey and some of the things they can go through are quite horrific,� she says, “Anxiety and depression are a real problem in carers and there needs to be more awareness and support out there for them. If they do not take care of themselves, they cannot take care of others.� If you or someone you know is a carer and in need of support, please contact Carers Assist in Cooma on 6452 4075.

CUC now independent thanks Carer’s award for Kevin to Snowy Hydro

Richard Clarke, Adrian Bell, Dean Lynch, Zoe Dawson, Carolyn Ewart, Paul Broad, Duncan Taylor. The Cooma Universities Centre (CUC) has been in operation for two years and with over 135 students attending the facility over that time, it has been an overwhelming success. Now, as an incorporated, not-forprofit organisation and run by a community board Snowy Hydro has officially handed over the facility and shifts to the key founding sponsor of this fantastic educational initiative. “Without the support we received from Snowy Hydro and the Cooma Monaro Shire Council, CUC would never have happened,” says Duncan Taylor, Chairman of the CUC Board, “Their support has been a tremendous gift to the

community.” Snowy Hydro CEO Paul Broad says that the CUC is part of a global movement in terms of the way education is delivered through advancing technology. “Two years ago, Snowy Hydro and the Cooma Monaro Shire Council joined forces to create the Cooma Universities Centre to provide university education opportunities for local students,” said CEO, Paul Broad. “To work in partnership with the CMSC, and with such a great team led by Zoe and Duncan, the CUC has become the exemplar of off-campus tertiary education and one that Snowy Hydro is proud to be a part of.”

Affordable, accessible higher education facilities are incredibly important to rural and regional communities and as the CUC has been such an overwhelming success, the model is now being extended into other regional NSW areas under the banner of Country Universities Centres. “The whole idea behind CUC is ‘distance with assistance’,” says Manager Zoe Dawson, “Being able to bring in local tutors and focus on areas of study that directly relate to our environment and demand in our area means that CUC can benefit not just the students and access to education, but the whole

Funding cuts effecting local preschools Cooma Lambie Street Preschool is one of the many NSW preschools who rely heavily on Government funding, community support and fundraising to continue to operate. An Australian Government study (conducted by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare) released a literature review about the impact of early education and care on learning and development. The research found that early education is beneficial and that two years is better than one. The review states that “the optimum period in the preschool environment (aged three) would be part time, spread across two years, rather than full time in a single year” and also found that “Early educational intervention has been shown to have a

substantial short-term and long-term effect on cognition, social and emotional development, school progress, antisocial behaviour and even crime.” Despite the Australian Governments OWN research, governments in Australia, and particularly in NSW, are refusing to adequately fund preschool education, in particular for three-year-old children. This is leaving valuable community preschools across the state struggling to stay viable. This Saturday, October 17, Cooma Lambie Street preschool will be having their biannual fete. Come along between 10am and 3pm and join in the fun. There will be many community stalls as well as artworks and goodies made by the children. Please drop in and

support your local preschool. The preschool is also currently taking enrolments for the 2016 school year.

community.” Still managed through the CUC in Cooma, expressions of interest for Country Universities Centres to host education degrees in Goulburn and Boorowa/ Young are now being advertised. “It is fantastic to know that other regional areas of NSW will now benefit from what was a great idea and one that Snowy Hydro is proud to be the founding sponsor.”

Local man Kevin Dunne was recenty recognised in the NSW Carers awards. Mr Dunne, who cares for his wife Maree, was presented with his Highly Commended certificate at a ceremony in Sydney. Kevin is pictured here with his children Michelle, Suzy and Matt, NSW Ageing and Disability Services Minister John Ajaka and Verity Jackson, our Dementia Advisor based in Cooma, who nominated Kevin.

Last Sunday was a special day for St Paul’s Anglican Church, Cooma, when it celebrated its 150th birthday. The ceremonies included the confirmation service for four young people, Jimmy Harding, Annika and Madeline Rooney and Pierre Wall. As well, there was an official portrait taken of the congregation by Schoos Studio, the launch of a new book “Around and About St Paul’s Cooma” and the dedication of the rejuvenated commemorative garden. Overseeing the celebrations was Bishop Matt Brain and many present and former clergy associated with the church were in attendance. The book was compiled by a church committee led by Phyllis Mclean, with Janet Stalvies a dedicated researcher on the project. The garden was built by Mike Litchfield of Wondalee, Countegany in granite sourced from his property. Jimmy Harding had the honour of starting the water flowing through the centrepiece. Many others also assisted with the preparation of the garden over the last few months. The day’s celebrations were celebrated with a traditional St Paul’s morning tea in the parish hall.

Dancers off to Hollywood Students from the Monaro Dance Centre shone in the Kids Artistic Revue Dance Competition held at Hawker College last weekend. Bombala’s Brady Jones received the overall Highest Mark Solo for the 13 years age group in the Rising Star category. He performed a contemporary routine called ‘Permanent’ choreographed by Monaro Dance Centre Principal, Kayla Bogatek. The three judges were greatly impressed by Brady’s performance, and invited him to attend workshops in Hollywood and at Disneyland in LA next year. Brady and duo partner Tayla Robinson of Cooma performed a contemporary piece called ‘Take Me To Church’ which also took out the top prize. As part of the weekend, Brady

attended a dance convention led by the judges, and was lucky enough to be awarded a scholarship towards dance classes next year in Las Vegas. “I am extremely proud of how far Brady has come with his dancing,� Ms Bogatek said. “I hope he continues to develop his passion for dance and to eventually take it further in the future.� The Cooma Dance Company also performed very strongly in the Kids Artistic Revue Dance Competition and more on this will be included The Monaro Post next week.

The Opening of the Exhibition, Seeing Country: ART FROM THE INSIDE, at the Bundian Way Art Gallery Delegate was a great success. More than 50 people attended and at least five artworks were sold. More sales seem imminent. All works were much appreciated as beinswg of a high standard, and often with exciting subject matter. Member for Monaro, John Barilaro, opening the exhibition, was eloquent in his praise of the gallery and the high quality of the art, noting especially the productive enterprise between

Corrective Services and the Bundian Way. The Acknowledgement of Country was made by John Blay on behalf of the Bundian Way project. He described how the trail will be opening by stages, and said, ‘I’m pleased with progress of the new walking track around Twofold Bay. It should be open within six months. We are planning for developments in Delegate soon.’ The show is hosted in the Bundian Way Aboriginal Art Gallery by the Delegate Progress association.

New short film to be set in the Snowy Mountains Cold Hearts is a short film written by Sydney-based girls Danielle Baynes and Yolanda Ramke. The story is set in Colonial Australia and centres on two sisters who are on a perilous journey to transport a coffin across the Snowy Mountains to a final resting place. Upon arriving at their final destination, they are confronted with a deadly surprise. Both fans of Western films, Danielle and Yolanda wanted to challenge the norm of this genre by placing two women at the forefront of their story. “We are really dedicated to creating a film with women at the helm,” says director Danielle Baynes. The girls started writing the piece one year ago, and have recently been scouting locations in the Snowy Mountains for shooting the film. ADVERTISEMENT

“We are looking at doing some filming at Charlotte’s Pass and Guthega,” says Danielle, “We chose the Snowy Mountains because it is so beautiful, and also because we wanted to get a feeling of isolation in the location.” Danielle and Yolanda are both also starring in the film as the lead actors. Actor Marcus Graham, who is known for his role in the popular TV series Home and Away, is also a cast member for the production. Filming is set to start at the end of the month, and the girls say that they have already received a lovely response from the local Snowy Mountains community. Filmmaking is an expensive exercise, and the Cold Hearts team are looking for as much financial support that they can get. “We have had an amazing response so far,” says Danielle, “So many people have jumped on board with the vision which has been very heartening for us.” For more information, and to help contribute to Cold Hearts, visit www.pozible.com/project/199907 or check out the Facebook page.

Duck down to the markets The Cooma Rotary markets will be on again next Sunday. As usual there will be a wide variety of stalls, providing an opportunity to pick up a bargain or perhaps an early Christmas present. The annual duck race will be run from the Massie Street causeway at 12.30pm. With $890 worth of

prizes this is a fun way to support Rotary’s local projects. Tickets are $5 each and are available from Leading Edge Electronics, The Fabric Salon, Cooma Visitors Centre and the markets on Sunday.

Rotary achievements presented

Pictured, last year’s inaugural duck race was a great success for Cooma Rotary.

Rotary District Governor Monica Garrett paid Cooma a visit last Wednesday. Ms Garrett was welcomed at a civic reception at Council chambers last Wednesday by Mayor Dean Lynch among other representatives of the community including councillors, Lions Club committee members, the CWA and of course Cooma Rotary. As part of her role as District Governor, Ms Garrett is required to visit all 47 of the district clubs prior to the District Conference coming up in two weeks time. “The aim of the visits is to spread the word of Rotary,” she said, “It is also to recognise and promote the importance of volunteers in our communities across the district.” President of the Cooma Rotary Club Neil Brown took the civic reception as an opportunity to present donations to both the Cooma Hospital Auxiliary and the Monaro Early Intervention Service. Having raised $2000 from the recent Rotary

Spring Ball, cheques of $1000 were presented to each organisation, which were very grateful for the generosity. Also at the civic reception were 15-yearold St Patrick’s students Lachlan Marks and Kadee Laird. Lachlan and Kadee have recently come back from the Rotary Youth Program of ENrichment (RYPEN). The program was a threeday camp at Mogo, NSW. The pair said that they got so much out of the experience, which focused on team building, leadership and problem solving skills. They also said that they would never have participated in the program if it hadn’t been for the Cooma Rotary Club.

Anytime Fitness members help Connor A brave little sevenyear-old boy, Connor Kimbell, has recently been assisted by members of Anytime Fitness Gym in Cooma. Connor suffers from VACTERL Association, a complicated medical condition which severely affects many different parts of his little body. It is a very rare condition and unlike other conditions or diseases, there is no group or association which assists sufferers financially. VACTERL Association affects only about one in 40,000 people. Amongst many problems, Connor has floppy airways,

no epiglottis, a failed kidney, shortened limbs on his right side and comprised lungs due to multiple aspirations. There is no known cure for his condition and his life expectancy is unknown. But despite all these problems, Connor is a happy little boy who is now in Year One at Cooma Public school. While Connor’s parents Alison and Tim try to keep his life as normal as possible, there are very abnormal aspects to his day-today existence which are very expensive. Connor is fed via a portal in his abdomen and the cost of the food

used is considerable. His family has had donation tins around town for some time, but due to theft, the tins remain at only Anytime Fitness and PD

Murphys. To help Connor along, the gym determined that during September, there would be no joining fee, but a cash donation would go

towards Connor’s appeal. The result was a donation of $360, which Connor accepted last Thursday.

Bombala’s ‘black tie and bling’ CD launch ‘Black Tie and Bling’ was the theme, and that’s exactly what was to be seen in the Bombala High School canteen on Saturday night! Here a glamorous crowd gathered for the launch of the Bombala Rotary and Community Choir’s latest CD, ‘Joy to the World’, which is of course a beautiful collection of Christmas songs. The CD was three years in the making, all on a voluntary basis, so the launch itself was a wonderful night of celebration. Among the special guests was the past Rotary District Governor, as well Mayor Bob Stewart, who spoke in glowing praise of the choir and its achievements. He also gave special mention to choirmaster, Claus Zimmer and his wife, Pat, who he considers to be assets to the Bombala district since they settled in the area. Of course “Joy to the World� was played throughout the evening, with the CD earning high praise from listeners, and sales getting off to a very positive start. The CD can be purchased through Bombala Rotary by contacting Lesley Smith on 6458 3896, and is just $25, with all proceeds going to the important work of Rotary.

We would all agree that the youth of our community are our future. They will be the ones making the decisions and developing our wonderful region into the mid to later part of this century. Our youth adopt technology and change and foresee future opportunities with enthusiasm and vigour which only comes by those venturing into adult life. Recently I was able to meet a snap shot of our youth community when I visited our Snowy Youth Council. These young people had recently represented our Shire at the 2015 NSW Youth Council conference hosted by Eurobodalla Shire Council. Seven of the Snowy Youth Council members and our Youth Development Officer attended the 3 day conference along with over 160 youth council delegates from all over the state.

Our youth council realised that in our region what is most lacking for youth is a public place / space where they can go and spend time together after school or on weekends. With the lack of a public library, and a neighbour centre with limited funding only being open to 4 pm, two days a week, there is no free indoor place where they can go and feel safe and be out of the elements. I understand that there is a large need for all members of our community to feel valued and provided for. Maybe such a place could be for other age groups too? I was very pleased to know that our youth do not want a space of their own, but instead a place where they can feel welcomed and comfortable and interact with all ages in their community. I explained to these eager young people that all projects take time however, they begin with a conversation. At the end of our meeting they presented me with a very cool hat with their logo on it. I asked for them to attend a future council meeting to present their ideas to our elected representatives. In the mean time, I look forward to meeting with them again and listening to the needs and hopes of our Snowy River Shire youth. Keep up the good work Snowy Youth Council team!

BHS farewells Dawn The Bombala High School has farewelled Dawn Douch after 38 years of committed service to the school. Dawn has undertaken many roles over the years, particularly in both the Science and Food Te c h n o l o g y areas, where she has p r o v i d e d support to staff and students of the high school. The staff gathered at a morning tea last term to acknowledge this fantastic achievement and to wish Dawn all the best in her retirement. She was presented with a Certificate of Service and Retirement Medal by the Director of Public Schools NSW, Matthew Brown, while the school’s

staff also presented her with a farewell gift. “It is hard to sum up in a few words 38 years of commitment and support for the school, its staff and students,” BHS Relieving Principal, Glen Warren said.

We would like to thank Dawn for all that she has done for the school and to wish her all the best in her future endeavours, which I am sure will involve many a well-earned day on the golf course.

Kelsie wins cash for research

Former Bombala High School student, Kelsie Long, has achieved a notable result in the recent Three Minute Thesis competition held at the Australian National University (ANU). The 3MT competition gives PhD students just three minutes to summarise their three year research projects. They may use just one PowerPoint slide. Kelsie entered her faculty competition in the Research School of Earth Sciences at ANU, winning this section, including $1,000 to go towards her research. This win enabled Kelsie to progress through to the ANU grand final, held on September 16.

The 12 finalists were from six colleges and spoke to the large crowd, as well as an online audience, about a range of topics from self-esteem to marshmallows and Lake Mungo. “In my PhD I’m using the ear stones of fish excavated from shoreline sand dunes to reconstruct past lake levels and climate at Lake Mungo, one of the earliest sites of human occupation in Australia,” explains Kelsie. Kelsie was thrilled to be announced as the runner up for 2015 and won a further $2,500 towards her research.

Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy goes International Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy’s Eliza Graham is pursuing a dream. Her aim is to become a physiotherapist with the Australian Winter Olympics team. And she is now one step closer, having just been appointed Physiotherapist in Residence for the Australian Mogul Skiing Academy whilst the team is training and competing during the next northern hemisphere winter. Eliza was chosen above the large number of physiotherapists in the OWI (Olympic Winter Institute) group, a huge achievement and reflective of her skill and commitment toward physiotherapy for elite skiers. “My appointment is actually a giant leap for Australian Mogul skiing,” Eliza told the Monaro Post. “This is the first time the Australian team will have a full time physiotherapist travelling with the team, and I’m thrilled to have been offered that position.” “Australian Mogul’s skiers are of world-class standard, as Olympic Gold and Silver Medallist Dale Begg-Smith and World Championships Bronze Medallist Britteny Cox have recently demonstrated.” “Not that my time away will be much of a holiday.” “Mogul skiing puts enormous and unnatural stress on the skier’s body because the ankles, then the knees, then the thighs are continually acting like the shock absorbers in a car, and so there is a consistent ongoing demand for help from physiotherapists to keep each competitor in peak condition.” “And I’ll be looking after quite a few of them. There are 20 members on the team, 16 from the Australian Mogul Skiing Academy and four from the NSW institute of Sport Australian

Development Mogul Team, plus four Olympics Mogul Team athletes will be training with us,” Eliza said. Eliza works for Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy in Cooma and Jindabyne, so is accustomed to providing advice and treatment to those participating in snow sports. “But I have the added advantage of being a reasonably good Mogul’s skier myself and have been a Mogul’s coach for many years, so I can instantly relate to the challenges and problems that these elite Australian athletes encounter on a day-to-day basis,” Eliza said. Eliza will be overseas from December until late February 2016. Much of the time she will be based in Winter Park, Colorado but will travel with team members when they compete elsewhere in the United States and Canada. When asked what her employer’s reaction was to her appointment, Eliza revealed “they are actually very supportive. Sapphire Coast and Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy is deliberately structured to encourage individual physiotherapists to pursue their specific interests and areas of particular expertise, and they know I am particularly interested in snow sports-related physiotherapy. So they were not at all surprised that I accepted this position when it was offered to me!” “And I’ll be constantly learning while I am away, so I’ll return to Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy with additional skills that will ultimately benefit our clients and all the other physiotherapists working in the practice.”

Eliza Graham of Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy, soon to spend the Northern winters in Colorado working with elite Australian Mogul’s skiers.

Meeting the authors of Romancing the Snowy – Rachael Treasure Treasure by name and literary treasure by nature. Rachael Treasure published her first novel ‘Jillaroo’ in 2002, her other best sellers include novels entitled ‘The Stockman’, ‘The Rouseabout’, ‘The Cattleman’s Daughter’ and ‘50 Bales of Hay’. Rachael draws from her own life experiences to inspire her writing. Having worked as a jillaroo, rural journalist, ABC radio broadcaster, professional woolclasser, part-time vet nurse, family farm manager, drover and stock camp

cook, her rich rural background makes for relatable country story writing. Rachael is also the mother of two beautiful children, and is passionate about regenerative agriculture. Her participation in the upcoming Romancing the Snowy event, which is set to kick off on Friday 30 October is definitely something to get excited about. As part of the annual Snowy Mountains Readers Writers Festival, Romancing the Snowy is aimed at bringing together and engaging fans of romance fiction, the event will run for three days across various venues in Jindabyne. With writing workshops, special guest author discussion panels, awards and dinners, the event will be a spectacular celebration of romance fiction.

Bombala Council is participating in the NSW Weed Conference being held in Cooma this week and Mayor Bob Stewart is chairing a session at this conference. Weeds pose a huge problem right across the State and while Bombala has a good track record with weed control, land owners need to be proactive on their properties. Orange Hawkweed is a potential new threat. This weed is one of the most troublesome invasive weeds in New Zealand’s alpine grasslands and elsewhere and has been found in the Kosciuszko and Alpine National Parks. Thankfully we have not seen Hawkweed yet and Love Grass, Fire Weed and Serrated Tussock remain the most troublesome noxious weeds in the Bombala area. The Conference will also provide an opportunity for members of the Southern Tablelands and South Coast Noxious Plants Committee to network around the upcoming changes to the structure of the Department of Primary Industry funding arrangements.

How did you get into writing in the first place? I was born a writer and it’s in the blood. My grandmother was a farmer and a writer who had works performed on BBC radio and published in The Bulletin Magazine in the 1950’s. My great uncles were from the land but also artists and botanical scientists too so I’ve combined my love of agriculture and art all my career. I began my working career as a jillaroo and journalist and have combined rural life and writing ever since. What do you enjoy most about writing? I love telling stories that move and inspire people to grow within themselves. I love that my writing gets non readers reading and my stories help foster positive change within agriculture. Many of my themes are about bringing feminism to farming, regenerative agricultural principals based on pioneers like Gulgong farmer Colin Seis and land management expert Allan Savoury. I like

Tim Draxl Arts fund Applications are still open for the next workshop presented by the Tim Draxl Performing Arts Fund, this time focussing on musical theatre. Singer, actor, producer Shaun Rennie will be at Jindabyne Central School, on Saturday October, 24 from 9.30 till 3.30 to instruct and improve the skills of keen young performers. Shaun trained at the National Institute of Dramatic Art, and for the last 10 years, has produced and directed ‘Light The Night’, an annual benefit concert raising money for Leukaemia research. His acting credits include Munkustrup in ‘Cats’, Bert in ‘Mary Poppins’, Fyedka in ‘Fiddler on the Roof’, Pepper in ‘Mamma Mia’ and Sir Lionel in ‘Camelot’.

to try to use my art to make issues like soil health sexy to the city reader who wouldn’t normally think about soils. Then there’s the whole creative element - where you get to paint an entire world of your own with words. What advice do you have for aspiring writers? Don’t copy others. Live your life and study life to the full so you have something fresh to write about that comes from the very core of your being. Also know that it’s hard work every day and even when you are seven novels into your career like me, it doesn’t get any easier. You don’t just need to learn the craft of writing, you also need to learn about the publishing industry and the media. A longterm writing career can’t be sustained on your ego or willpower - you have to tap into a larger unseen creative force that keeps you going as a writer - so build on your selfawareness and what makes you and the Universe tick. And above all… play! Have fun!

Any road pavement, driveways and paths affected by the reconstruction work will be repaired/replaced as part of the project works. Please contact any member of Councils on-site work crew should you experience any problems caused by this work during its progress. 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 1802.

• Always keep trees, shrubs and creepers trimmed well away from the fence. • Always leave your filter covered so small children cannot get into it and keep chemicals out of view and reach. • Always supervise children around the pool at all times. A fence is no substitute for responsible supervision. • Teach your children to swim from an early age. • Undertake resuscitation (CPR) training for emergency situations. If you have any problems or are unsure if you have registered please contact Council’s Environmental Services on 6455 1901.

St Pauls Church, Cooma, was celebrating in fine style last Sunday as the congregation marked the 150th anniversary. One of the activities was the blessing of the new garden and the official ‘turning on’ of the water feature. Former leader of Cooma’s C of E flock, Paul Cohen, was also present and reminded the congregation of his wicked sense of humour. Unfortunately, his suggestion that Bishop Brain could start the water flowing by tapping it with his staff was not acted on - but it certainly provided a lot of chuckles. Good to see so many people attending the NSW Weeds Conference this week. The conference industry is something this region could definitely develop and would provide a great economic boost. The weed detector dogs demonstration at the showground tomorrow should be very interesting - see you there.

Veterans’ Health Week Editor, Australia’s veterans, war widows, currently serving personnel and their families will come together in cities and towns across the country over the next nine days to participate in the annual Veterans’ Health Week (VHW), 10–18 October 2015. This year, the focus of VHW is on mental wellbeing—a priority for the Australian Government—and includes activities ranging from early morning surfing and yoga classes to golf days, health expos and health information sessions. To coincide with the beginning of VHW and World Mental Health Day, today I am releasing the Government’s Social Health Strategy 2015–2023 for the Veteran and Exservice Community and Mental and Social Health Action Plan. These documents outline support for ex-service personnel and their families who may be experiencing mental health issues, and what the Government is doing to improve their circumstances. Key initiatives include: non-liability health care arrangements under which the Department of Veterans’ Affairs can pay for treatment for a range of mental health conditions—such as posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, alcohol and substance use disorders—whatever the cause. That is, the condition does not have to be service-related online resources

and smartphone apps, designed to be used in conjunction with clinical support, to help current and former serving Australian Defence Force personnel to build their resilience, combat suicidal thoughts and manage their alcohol consumption (available from www.at-ease.dva.gov. au) the Men’s Health Peer Education Programme, which trains volunteers to provide health information to their veteran peers, to encourage better lifestyle choices. This year’s VHW—my first as Minister for Veterans’ Affairs—is set to be the largest in the event’s history, with about 220 activities around Australia and an anticipated attendance of 17,000 members of the veteran and defence communities. When reporting on veteran-related issues, I encourage you to include contact details for the Veterans and Veterans Families Counselling Service (VVCS), which provides free and confidential specialist counselling and support services for ex-service personnel and their families 24/7 on tel 1800 011 046. Please visit http://www.dva.gov.au/ health-and-wellbeing/health-events/ veterans-health-week-2015 for more information about events in your region. Stuart Robert Minister for Veterans Affairs

Cooma Steel 54 years strong

Elle Mackintosh

This year marks 20 years of Robert Wolf running Cooma Steel Metaland. Rob took on the business from his father who started it up in 1961. Rob’s dad, Harry, moved to Cooma from Germany when he was 24 years old to work as a boilermaker on the Snowy Scheme. It took a year for Harry to save up enough money to bring his wife and first daughter, Rob’s eldest sister, to come and live with him here in Cooma where Rob’s second elder sister and he were born. Rob has fond childhood memories of his mother’s delicious German cooking and of speaking fluent German with his parents and their other German friends, who were also in Cooma for the opportunity to work on the Snowy Scheme. Rob even went with his mother for a sixmonth trip to Germany when he was aged 11. It was only four years later that his mother suddenly passed away at age 49. This was a difficult time for Rob, who was living alone with his mother at the time due to his parents having separated and his two sisters having moved to Sydney. Moving in with his dad, Rob finished school and became a mechanic. “Ever since I was a little boy, I have loved cars,� says Rob who is currently the

president of the Cooma Monaro Historic Automobile Club, of which he was been a member for 10 years. However when Harry decided that he could no longer keep up with running the business and thought he should probably sell, Rob stepped in. “I just didn’t want to see it go, so I took it on with dad, who stayed here with me for a few years before leaving,� said Rob. These days, the team of 17 staff help Rob supply steel for the local area as well as doing steel fabrication for private and commercial buildings, ski lodges, sheds and tray bodies. Rob says that the satisfaction of seeing a job completed is what has kept him in the business for all these years, as well as the great people he gets to work with. One of those people is Tanya, Rob’s wife of 31 years. Rob and Tanya met at Monaro High School and were married in 1984. Three years later they had their son Dean who is now a builder in Canberra, and in 1991 they had their daughter Sarah who is currently working at Birdsnest in Cooma and studying nursing by distance through Charles Sturt University. Rob says that he is lucky to have always had work here in Cooma and has never considered leaving his beloved home town.

JCS film shortlisted

Council launches new website

Several Jindabyne Central School Primary students have had success in a German film competition and have been shortlisted with their film “Freizeit weltweit� (Yr. 3-6) for the Goethe-Institut School Film Festival 2015 to be shown along with other films from N.S.W. on Thursday, 22 October at 12:00–2:45 pm at the Chauvel Cinema, Cnr Oxford St & Oatley Rd (Paddington Townhall), Paddington NSW 2021.

In 2014 Snowy River, Bombala and Cooma Councils began working on a joint template for a website which residents across all shires could easily navigate. Since then, we considered what features would improve engagement with our community and sourced a provider that could deliver a cost effective product that would achieve this. During September this year, training was arranged with staff from each of the councils attending. We’ve re-designed the Snowy River Shire Council website to make it simpler and easier to access the services customers need. We’ve also rewritten much of the content based on guidelines to ensure information is clear and easy to understand. We are pleased to be launching our new website on Monday 19 October 2015. Some

of the new features you will see include: • Reactive web design for mobile devices. One website anywhere, any time. • Subscribe for notifications to jobs, news and media and calendar events. • How Do I – quick links to information on councils common requests. • Forms - Easy to use online request forms and applications. • Accessibility – Web accessibility refers to the inclusive practice of removing barriers that prevent interaction with, or access

to websites, by people with disabilities. “This joint project has been a great opportunity to work with our neighbouring Councils. Using the same software provider has meant that not only will we have a more user friendly website but Snowy River has also been able to reduce website costs by $10,000 per year� said General Manager Joseph Vescio. “I would also like to acknowledge my staff who drove this process and made it become a reality� added Mr Vescio.

MFSR March re-enactment

SIR WILLIAM HUDSON

MEMORIAL CENTRE AGED CARE FACILITY

WE HAVE A BUS! Woo Hoo!! At long last Sir William Hudson Memorial Centre is the owner of a beautiful bus. For many years now we have relied on the generosity and the availability of the Monaro High School bus to be able to take our residents on outings. Having our own bus will open up so many more opportunities as we will no longer be as restricted to the days or the times that we can go on outings. Our residents have been keenly fund raising and hoping that one day the chance to own their own bus would become a reality, and at long last that day has arrived. We are so grateful to the High School for allowing us the use of their bus, and to Ken Bowerman for volunteering to be our driver on our outings. How long until the bus is given a knick name? Signage has been organized and soon everyone will know when our residents are out and about!

The reenactment of the Men from Snowy River March will begin from Delegate on November 1. Listed below are some of the local men who joined the march 100 years ago – ALEXANDER Nicholas born Nimmitabel enlisted Cooma A R C H E R H a l l o r a n born Tarcutta enlisted Cooma BONABA Victor born Dubbo, enlisted Cooma CRISP Percy born Dalgety, enlisted Goulburn CULLEN Patrick born Ireland, enlisted Cooma ECCELSTON Napoleon born Dalgety, enlisted Goulburn FINK Glyn born England, enlisted Cooma FLANAGAN Herbert, born Berridale, enlisted Cooma FOSTER Clarence born Rutherglen, enlisted Cooma FREEBODY Lionel born Adaminaby enlisted Cooma GLENNON Maurice born Cooma, enlisted Cooma GOODMAN Albert born Adaminaby, enlisted Cooma GUNNING Frank born Cooma, enlisted Cooma HEYLAND Thomas born Cooma, enlisted Bungendore HEYWOOD born Adaminaby

Remember to buy your SWHMC Melbourne Cup raffle tickets, they are available at the office of the Home and from outside Woolworths on Thursdays and Saturdays leading up to the race. The raffle is a great chance to help with our fundraising and you may even end up with your name drawn for the winning horse in the Cup. The bus is not the only new addition to SWHMC that is making the residents life’s more enjoyable. At a recent residents meeting the idea of having some house pets was raised and we now have a beautiful fish tank in the dining room and two lovely budgies. “Bluey” and “Aussie” are now chirping and singing each day enjoying their new home in the main lounge room entertaining all of their new friends. The birds are so cheerful and enjoy their lovely sunny outlook, while they brighten up the day of the residents and staff. Hopefully we will have more birds soon for our larger cages. Did you know if you have a resident in SWHMC that you can bring in your pets for a visit as long as they are controlled and house trained. Over the years we have had some very interesting pets visiting including puppies, kittens and even piglets! Our residents love to see animals and enjoy it when they can interact with them.

SWHMC is saying goodbye to three of our staff, Dale Whitfield, Flo McGarry and Aggie Smith are retiring after well over 50 years of combined service to the Centre. We wish them all the best, we know that their smiling faces will be missed by all. SWHMC welcomed four new residents in September and sadly said goodbye to Richard Southwell, Kevin Povey, Carolynn Williams, Barbara Harden, Claude Nolan and Ruth Allen.

Judy Innes’ bedroom has been named Australia’s Ugliest Bedroom following a nationwide search by online homewares retailer TheHome.com.au and Better Homes and Gardens, and will receive a $13,000 makeover. “I’ve wanted to redo our bedroom ever since we bought the house, but it is such a big job so I just haven’t known where to start. Needless to say, we are so excited to have won a makeover of our ugly bedroom!� Judy said. According to TheHome.com.au’s interior stylist Emma Blomfield, who will be heading up the makeover, the room was crowned a winner because it was in dire need of a revamp. “The wallpaper is quite the eyesore, and paired with the outdated lighting fixtures and bedroom furniture this bedroom is crying out for a makeover,� she said. “Having that said, underneath the flower power overload, we believe this room has lots of potential to transform into a beautiful sanctuary.�

Over hundreds of entries from all over Australia where received, and according to Alexandra Mills, CEO of TheHome.com.au, it was shocking to see so many neglected bedrooms. “Your bedroom is meant to be a sanctuary where you can relax and unwind after a long day, so it is definitely a room you should give some attention. And it doesn’t have to be expensive – a new duvet cover and some plush pillows go a long way,â€? she said. The makeover, which is valued up to $13,000, includes furniture and dĂŠcor from TheHome.com. au, new blinds and carpet courtesy of Australia’s biggest flooring retailer Carpet Court, walls painted by British Paints and services from online marketplace Airtasker. Last year, TheHome.com.au launched a national search to find Australia’s Ugliest Living Room. The Jouni family in Guildford, NSW, won the title and makeover, and their ugly living room was transformed from drab to fab.

Relocating? Buy now – or sell first? It’s the classic conundrum facing home owners trading up to their next property - should you buy now or sell your current home first? Industry super fund owned bank ME has made the decision (slightly) easier by setting out the key pros and cons:

• If your home sells for less than its listed price you may face a funding shortfall. • No one knows what lies around the corner and changes in interest rates or other economic circumstances could impact your ability to pay off your new home.

locked firmly in the bank you know exactly how much you can spend on the new place. • Stashing your sale proceeds in a high interest savings account lets you earn additional income while searching for your next home.

Buy first The good points • If you see a place that you know is just right for you or which has truly unique features, you can grab it now knowing you won’t miss out to other buyers. • In a rising property market buying today means beating higher property prices further down the track.

The danger zone • It may take longer than expected to sell your home. That could mean having to take out bridging finance on the new place while still paying off your current home loan, and that could be a real financial squeeze.

The downsides • If property values are rising you could end up paying more for your new home.

The downsides • You could feel rushed to sell your current home – even accepting a price below your expectations.

Sell first The good points • There’s no immediate pressure to sell, so you can hold out until you receive an offer you’re happy with. • With sale proceeds from your home

The danger zone • It’s rare that your home will sell in just the right timeframe to move straight into your new home. Unless you can juggle settlement times, you could find yourself officially ‘homeless’ for a period, and even if you’re able to couch surf at a mate’s place for a while, you could face two sets of furniture removal and storage fees.

Home loan demand records further uplift Proving the property market remains alive and well, new data has found home loan demand hit a six year high in August. According to the August Housing Finance Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 55,677 home loans were approved over the course of the month – up 2.9% on the previous month. Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said home loan demand has not been this strong since September 2009. “The last time more than 55,600 home loans were written in one month was back in 2009, when the boosted first home owner grant was in full swing,” Mr Flavell said. “To see a similar level of home loan

demand in today’s market, when there is not only no boosted first home buyer incentives in place, but lenders are effectively trying to reduce their level of investment lending activity, is surprising and just goes to prove the strength of the housing market.” In addition to seeing a spike in the number of home loans written over the course of the month, the total value of all dwelling commitments was also up. Over the month of August, the total value of all dwelling commitments written exceeded $34 billion – up 3.5% on the previous month. “Data from CoreLogic found property prices across the combined capital cities climbed 0.3% over the month of August.

As such, it is no real surprise to see the total value of all dwelling commitments on the rise,” Mr Flavell said. “Since the beginning of the year, the average home loan size for all owner occupied housing commitments has surged 7%, hitting $371,200. “Moving forward, it is fair to assume the average home loan size will continue to grow so long as property prices continue to climb.” Mr Flavell said he also expects home loan demand to remain strong over the coming months, as many lenders are currently offering some significant incentives to owner occupiers in a bid to win their business.

Our partnership is not just about engaging young farmers, but also the wider youth community in rural NSW.” The charity ball is supported by local businesses which have donated overseas holidays, paintings and local produce to be auctioned on the night.

The stud offered 42 lots, with lot three selling to $5000 to Lionel and Stephen Platts of Dungaree Pastoral Company, Ando. The buyers said they chose the ram because it had good skin, the wool density was good, it had a good even frame – an ideal ram to breed with their flock. Lots four and five both sold for $3750 to Corella Pastoral Company. The sale grossed $47,650 to average $1443.94

Councils want Regional and Rural Minister The Local Government NSW Annual Conference has called NSW Premier Mike Baird to appoint a Minister for Rural and Regional NSW. The decision follows a vote by the State’s 152 councils at the sector’s annual conference, held this year at Sydney’s Rosehill Racecourse. “Essentially it’s about ensuring rural and regional NSW are given the same consideration and have the same voice at the Cabinet table as Sydneysiders,� LGNSW President Keith Rhoades said. “In April 2015 Premier Baird scrapped the role of Minister for Western NSW, then held by Kevin Humphries, as well as other regional Minister roles. “Yet at the same time he retained a Minister for Western Sydney, which happens to be the Premier himself. “Why do the people of Western Sydney deserve better representation in Cabinet than those people who live in the rest of the State? “With no disrespect to the individuals concerned, Parliamentary Secretaries are a pale substitute indeed.� Clr Rhoades said it was also important to recognise the challenges and issues faced by people who lived in all the regions of

NSW. “Our regional and rural areas have a wealth of issues which are directly impacting on the lives of families and voters, and we believe there should be someone at that Cabinet table specifically charged with representing them,� he said. “There may be a Minister for Regional Development, but that role has a completely different focus. “When the Premier’s new Cabinet was sworn in back in April, Premier Baird told the media he had based his decisions on performance and merit. “He said that the people of NSW would expect nothing less, and he was right. “The people of rural and regional NSW also expect nothing less – nothing less than this Government’s best efforts to understand the challenges and issues they face, and represent their best interests. “We believe that the Government will be able to do this more effectively if there is someone formally charged with the responsibility. “That’s why the sector has carried this motion calling for the appointment of a Minister for Rural and Regional NSW.�

Long-term confidence Australian producers with cattle to sell should have confidence in the market over the long term, according to Meat & Livestock Australia’s (MLA) latest cattle industry projections quarterly update. This is due to anticipated tight Australian beef supplies, combined with the weaker Australian dollar (A$) and strong export demand. MLA Manager of Market Information Ben Thomas said the annual cattle slaughter by year’s end was estimated to reach another unprecedented high. “This will be the third consecutive year of cattle slaughter exceeding eight million head, something that’s

never been seen before. As a result, beef production is estimated to reach 2.46 million tonnes cwt – which will be the second highest volume ever,� Mr Thomas said. “The female slaughter rate so far this year is 28 per cent above the five year average, which will ultimately lead to fewer calves and lower beef production. Yet over the next five years Australia will still continue to produce more than two million tonnes of beef and veal annually.� Mr Thomas said another important factor for the industry was the expectation of a continuing weaker A$, bolstering the demand for Australian beef.

Know your soils – free workshops South East Local Land Services is inviting landholders to attend two free soil assessment workshops to be held at Bredbo on Saturday, 24 October and Bungendore on Sunday, 25 October 2015. Land Services Officer, Alice McGrath said the events are being held as part of the National Soils Skills Competition. “The workshops will provide participants with practical, hands-on skills to evaluate their paddocks using on-farm assessment techniques,� Ms McGrath said.

“Attendees will also be provided with kits to measure key soil attributes. “These skills will assist landholders to make informed farm management decisions to help them achieve positive outcomes for soil health and to improve farm profitability. “Up-skilling and equipping groups of farmers with the tools to understand, evaluate and monitor their land themselves is one approach to building the resilience of farming communities to adapt to more sustainable practices.� In late November South East Local

Land Services will be holding a walk ‘n talk tour at Rossi to explore the many land management considerations for new small farm owners. There will be discussions about pasture identification, fire management, managing biodiversity and property planning. To register or for further information about the soil assessment workshops and the walk n’ talk tour, please contact Alice McGrath, South East Local Land Services Queanbeyan on (02) 6229 7713 or email Alice.

Schute Bell wool report Whilst the broad based market indicator shows the overall market in negative territory again this week it wasn’t all gloomy. A solid jump in exchange rates actually

left the market unchanged in US dollars. Crossbreds and Cardings that have performed above expectations for some time now came under pressure. On the flip side the limited supply of stylish superfine types helped push these prices slightly higher for the week. With next week a designated Superfine sale in Sydney this is a positive sign for these speciality types. 37,747 bales were offered nationally for the week with 12% of the offering passed in. Major buyers included Chinatex, Fox and Lillie & Techwool with the top four buyers dominating proceedings. Expected quantities on offer

over the coming month have risen slightly to be more in line with last season’s corresponding period but remain 4-5% lower on an overall season to date basis. Forward market activity remains almost nonexistent with buyers and sellers 100 cents apart. The Eastern Market Indicator finished the week below 1200 cents for the first time since early May and needs to find a new support level. This Week’s Sales 46,032 bales are expected to be on offer nationally with 10,973 in Sydney. Schute Bell, Wool Auctions, Goddard and Monaro Wool are selling on Wednesday the 14th of October.

A second season of spring aerial baiting will be conducted in the coming weeks as part of coordinated efforts to reduce the impact of wild dogs on livestock and livestock producers in Gippsland and North East Victoria. Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) Wild Dog Engagement Officer, Barry Davies said: “Aerial baiting provides an additional element to wild dog management, complementing onground measures such as baiting, trapping and exclusion fencing.� “It’s one tool in the toolbox of techniques to reduce the impact of wild dogs on livestock enterprises and complements the current wild dog program with its suite of control measures,� Mr Davies said. “A recent wild dog management field day near Ensay demonstrated how well the control program is progressing, with land owners, service providers and DELWP staff coming together to find solutions,

improve management and reduce the negative impacts of wild dogs.� “We were all pleased with the feedback from this field day and will continue to work with everyone involved and affected to protect our producers, their livestock and their local communities.� The aerial baiting program will take place from mid-October on public land at six sites: the Angora/ Cobungra, Bindi and Wonangatta/ Punchen Budweid areas in East Gippsland, and Burrowa, Bullhead and Wabba areas in the North East. The six sites were chosen because of their inaccessibility and remoteness, proximity to private land where wild dog impacts have been reported, and the absence of Spottailed Quolls. 4000 fresh-meat baits will be laid along 400km of baiting transects.

Careful biosecurity planning matters - avian flu proves it By Emma Rooke, Livestock Biosecurity Network If Australian livestock producers ever needed reminding of the importance of biosecurity, they should look no further than the devastation that has been wreaked upon the American poultry industry by avian influenza. The current outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI)

started in December 2014, with some 221 cases continuing to be detected through until July 2015. Almost 50 million birds were affected across 11 states, costing United States taxpayers more than $950 million so far, with devastating effects on commercial poultry

businesses and communities. In Iowa alone, the US’s biggest egg-producing state, the flock was reduced by 44 per cent as a 75pc mortality rate took its toll on the 34 million birds affected. The equivalent of avian influenza to the Australian livestock industry would be an outbreak of foot and mouth disease, which studies have been forecast would cost the nation more than $46 billion. In a large outbreak beef prices would drop by 80pc, only returning to 85pc of preoutbreak prices after 10 years. Even a small outbreak would cause a price drop of around 15pc and take 3-4 years to recover. And an emergency animal disease outbreak in Australia would affect the whole livestock industry – service

providers, contractors and support sector, not just producers. The Australian livestock industry can learn a lot from other industries. A number of clear lessons have come out of the US HPAI experience, with the US Department of Agriculture placing improved onfarm biosecurity at the top of their list for preventing or limiting future outbreaks. Evidence of farm-to-farm spread of HPAI in the Midwest has underscored the need for US producers to implement their own, site-specific biosecurity plans. For producers in Australia that means limiting movement of people, vehicles, equipment and animals (including feral animals) onto properties and by working on a ‘clean in, clean out’ basis so that nothing enters or leaves your property dirty. It also means working with your

neighbours on biosecurity, as what happens on your farm impacts your neighbours and vice versa. Improper disposal of dead birds was also singled out as an issue in the US outbreak – for advice on appropriate carcass disposal for livestock read the recent column by LBN’s Dr Sarah-Jane Wilson at www.lbn.org.au. Finally, the Iowa poultry industry identified the key lesson for other industries as the need for each farm to review and practice their emergency disease response plan regularly to ensure it is up to date with changing operating conditions. With good on-farm biosecurity, including active monitoring, surveillance and accurate record keeping, we can rapidly detect and report incidents as they arise to limit their spread and impacts. Have you practiced your plan lately?

LLS – Have your say on future Local Land Services wants to hear from the public about its future direction. Twelve draft strategic plans have been released for public consultation and all members of the community are invited

to provide comment by Sunday, 22 November 2015. Local Land Services works with land managers and the community to improve primary production within healthy landscapes. Local Land Services Executive Manager, Tim Ferraro, said the draft State Strategic Plan sets the vision and goals for Local the organisation and outlines the strategies to achieve these goals. “We are keen to hear from any member of the community, whether they are land managers or not, about the activities we propose to undertake at the property, community, landscape and industry scales,” Mr Ferraro said. “This is a ten year plan and we want to know whether our goals and strategies

are meeting the expectations of our customers, who are the people of NSW.” Guided by the State Strategic Plan, each of the eleven Local Land Services regions has developed a five year local strategic plan. They nest under the state strategy with all twelve plans aligned to achieve the organisation’s mission of resilient communities in productive, healthy landscapes. Each region has identified local priorities and determined how the goals and strategies of the State Strategic Plan are best achieved. The local strategic plans define the specific actions and priorities to deliver these strategies. They are tailored to meet the issues, risks and opportunities that characterise the communities, industries

and landscapes of that region. South East Local Land Services will align its work with its mission of being a customerfocused business. South East Local Land Services Chair, David Mitchell said the local strategy is an essential building block for the organisation. “It will assist us in providing services and products that meet the needs of our customers, investors and stakeholders,” Mr Mitchell said. For more information, to obtain copies of the strategic plans and to provide comments please visit www.lls. nsw.gov.au/southeast. Alternatively, copies of the plans are available at South East Local Land Services offices. Feedback can be provided online or in writing.

Sky Muster promises break in data drought The National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) has welcomed the recent launch of Sky Muster – the first dedicated NBN satellite which will service rural Australia from next year. NFF CEO Simon Talbot said this is a critical step in resolving the data drought affecting rural internet users. “People have been appalled by the Interim Satellite Solution offered by the NBN, which has left families unable to send e-mails, access online learning or manage their finances online,” Mr Talbot said.

“With the launch of the new dedicated satellite, we expect to see many farmers able to fully participate in the digital economy for the first time. “Digitally enabling Australian farms is a critical step towards our vision for a $100 billion agriculture industry by 2030. “Using the latest technology, including cloud-based decision support tools to analyse volumes of data, farmers have the chance to profoundly improve their yields and productivity. “Improved connectivity could also pave the way for new traceability technology,

supporting a stronger ‘Brand Australia’ in export markets. “Fast and reliable broadband is the key to unlocking these dormant productivity gains, which is why today’s launch is such an important milestone.” Excitement in the farming community will, however, be mixed with trepidation, as potential users wait to fully understand the services which the new satellite will deliver. “We understand that based on capacity constraints, we will see rural satellite users being subject to lower download limits than those in metropolitan areas. Farmers

will be keen to ensure that caps are reasonable, and don’t place a handbrake on business or education usage,” Mr Talbot said. “We also await a clear plan from NBN Co as to how services will be upgraded as further capacity is needed. Analysis by the NFF indicates that planned capacity could be exhausted as quickly as 2020 if demand continues to increase. “Rural Australians deserve a plan which clarifies how the network outside the major cities will be augmented over time to meet their needs.”

1,500 stairs straight up, for more than $160,000 On Sunday October 4 Malcolm Lavender represented Bombala 230 Fire and Rescue Station with more than 160 FRNSW other firefighters and climbed a staggering 1,504 stairs in the Sydney Tower Eye in full turnout gear with SCBA to raise much needed funds for research into Motor Neurone Disease. “A big thank you to our Bombala Fire Station who supported and contributed to what is now the most successful single fundraising event or activity within FRNSW. After 98 storeys it was amazing to cross the finish line with the Sydney skyline all around and thankfully drop the SCBA gear and my turnout jacket.� said, Fire Fighter Malcolm Lavender Working in partnership with Macquarie University, the Firefighters Climb for Motor Neurone Diesease has now raised more than $160,000. Although the total is still climbing, it has already smashed the target of $100,000 and is now the most

successful single fundraising event or activity within FRNSW. Event organiser, Qualified Firefighter Matthew Pridham, said his inspiration came from his close friend, Adam Regal. “Motor Neurone Disease is an unpredictable and wretched disease. While 10 per cent of patients have it due to inheriting a faulty gene, 90 per cent of patients have sporadic Motor Neurone Disease, with no known cause. “We are thrilled with the donation from FRNSW firefighters to our research centre. It is only with research that we will understand what the elements that cause this disease are and how it progresses, which will ultimately lead to therapies that slow and stop it.� said Professor Dominic Rowe, head of Macquarie University Hospital’s Motor Neurone Disease clinic, the largest of its kind in Australia.

Bush Basics held a gala opening day last Saturday, celebrating the move to the new premises. Pictured at top, Jodi and Belinda with the balloons. Left, Marg Quodling and Betty Longhurst visited Bush Basics for a few bargains.

Community gets behind fund rasing for Relay for Life Hours of music and laughter were enjoyed at the Bombala Golf Club on Saturday afternoon as the community supported another fantastic Relay for Life fundraiser. Team Bibbenluke presented a Country Music Afternoon and Karaoke Night to remember, with a crowd nearing 150 gathering to enjoy the great live music. Artists including Ernie Constance, Katrina Skellern, Gus and Sherri Olding, Michael Cootes and Gary Carson Jones performed, among a huge number of other local and visiting musicians. Special mention was made of the younger singers who took to the stage and wowed the crowd.

Adding to the fun of the day were some highly popular hot rod rides around town, as well as a jumping castle, a series of raffles and lucky door prizes and of course a wonderful spread of food. And best of all everyone had the chance to jump on stage and take part in the karaoke, with participants young and old alike happily getting behind the microphone right up until closing. The event was hailed a huge success, with everyone from the guests of Currawarna Aged Hostel through to the littlies and of course the performers sharing a cheerful afternoon in the name of a good cause. Thanks goes to all of those who supported the event, both businesses and individuals, with an impressive $1,858 being raised by Team Bibbenluke for Bombala’s Relay for Life. In other Relay for Life news, readers are reminded that a very special Carers and Survivors Walk will be enjoyed as part of the November 28 Relay for Life in Bombala. This is an honorary lap of the oval which will follow the opening ceremony, with those who take part as a carer or survivor being treated to this special recognition as well as sharing in a complimentary morning tea. The opening ceremony will begin at 9am, with the Carers and Survivors Walk to take place at 10am, and all who are affected by cancer in this way are invited to take part. You can find out more about this lap of honour by contacting Billie on 0427 585 340 or simply turn up and be a part of this wonderful event in Bombala on November 28.

John Paske Carpet Court in Polo Flat John Paske Carpet Court has moved from their spot in Sharp Street up to the end of Utah Crescent in Polo Flat, which was previously their storage space. John originally opened the business back in 1979 in the old Hain and Co building, before moving across the road in 1982. With his son Jamie and sister Fay by his side, there is over 75 years of experience in all floor coverings at John Paske Carpet Court. John has been laying carpets ever since he left school and still enjoys it today.

“I really like seeing the end result,” says John, “You get a real satisfaction when you see how much a space can be improved with a fresh floor.” “I also enjoy getting out and around. We cover about a 100km radius around Cooma, from places like Bemboka to Canberra and up to Khancoban.” Already gearing up for their busy pre-Christmas period, John and his team have a great range available. If you need new floors, just pop on up to Polo Flat. Follow the signs from Holland Road. For more information, give them a call on 6452 3266.

Beppi wins bocce singles It was a split group of young and old that participated in the Mens Singles at the Cooma Bocce club on Sunday. The saying “you’re never too old” was so true on the day with our eldest member and most experienced making a point that you’ll need more than you to beat him on the day Beppi Tonini just never stops and at a ripe age still has it- “a burning passion to win”. In the preliminary rounds he defeated Peter Della Costa, Luigi Serafin from Canberra, Michael Shenker and drew with David Pevere who he edged out on points. Ado Forner from Canberra also had a great day. In the final, Beppi edged ahead slowly up to the fifh end where he was 5-1 up against David Pevere. David managed a small come back in the sixth end only to be shot out

They’re off and racing in Bombala It’s time to plan your outfit, study the form guide and dust off the binoculars, because the Bombala Races are upon us! Yes, this coming Saturday, October 17 the buses will be travelling to and from both the Bombala RSL Club and the Delegate Hotel, with the local Jockey Club expecting a big crowd at the Bombala Racecourse. A thrilling race program is planned, with a great field of horses and jockeys being finalised, and of course eager bookmakers lining up to help us all have a flutter. For true race enthusiasts

the tote van will also be running hot, and there will of course be screenings of the Caulfield Cup and other major meetings to keep punters in the game. Naturally the action at the country race meet will be hard to beat, however, with racegoers keenly viewing the contenders in the saddling paddock before rushing to the fence to cheer them home. The Bombala Races are of course one of the district’s major social events of the year, and already

there is great talk circulating around the Fashions on the Field.

Junior cricket Monaro Under 14s had their first game for the season, travelling to Canberra to take on Radford. Monaro lost the toss and were sent in to bat. Radford were rewarded with a wicket with the first ball right on target. Not a great start but Russ Haylock (33) and Darnel Bartlett (6) in his first match, got the score moving with quick singles and good running between the wickets. Each partnership then added 10 or more runs and when Will Cahill (30 no) scored 5 boundaries in his innings, Monaro had recovered well at 5 – 72, then 6 - 112. Bailey Harriden in his first match was not out on 11 with the final score 7 – 119 from 20 overs. Jake Quodling (3-4) took the first wicket for Monaro in the second

over, then caught and bowled the other opener soon after. Jakob Asanovski (1-19) struck with his first ball, with Radford now 3 – 11, finding runs hard to get against keen fielders. Their next batsmen responded with successive fours but was bowled by Bailey Harriden (2-6) in his first over. The bowling and fielding performance was great for an early game. Radford batsmen were hard to remove and were only dismissed in the final over but their total of 46 was well short of the target set. Monaro play Daramalan in their next game. Junior cricket will be in full swing in the next few weeks with T20 blast, Friday afternoon cricket and representative games for Under 12s, 14s and 16s.

Girder Fork rally this weekend The 2015 Girder Fork Rally, the first of Cooma’s festival of spring motoring events will be taking place over the weekend of 16 – 18 October. The rally is exclusive to pre-1950 girder fork motor cycles and their riders, and the organisers are expecting around 60 of these classic - fantastic old machines to roll into Cooma next Friday. Two very old bikes have been entered. Ian Richardson from The Oaks, NSW will be riding his 103 year old 3.5 horse power (hp) Triumph, and Kevin Boardman will be riding his 101 year old 3 ½ hp Douglas. Crowd favourites will include three fabulous 1940s Vincent HRD Rapides, which were the superbikes of the post-World War 2 years. These 1000 cc bikes not only look and sound great, they were capable of 100 mph driven straight of the shop and have a fantastic V-twin engine designed by Australian engineer Phil Irving. Irving went on to design the Repco-Brabham V8 Formula 1 engine, which powered Jack Brabham to his 1966 Formula 1 Drivers Championship. The prime attraction for the entrants is riding the scenic sealed roads of the Cooma-Monaro region. The event is also renowned for its social aspect including an excellent morning tea, lunch (at Bombala this year) and dinner at the Car Club Clubhouse on Saturday night; all providing great opportunities for historic bike enthusiasts to get together to discuss their machines and the day’s adventures. BEST PLACES TO SEE THE BIKES AND RIDERS There will be a short “tune-up” run on Friday afternoon the 16 October. The bikes and riders will depart the Cooma Car Club Clubhouse at 2 PM. The long run of the weekend to Bombala and return is on Saturday 17 October. The best places and times to see the riders and bikes will be at the Car Club Clubhouse from 8.00 to 9:00 am when the bikes will depart; in Dalgety behind The Hall from

10:00 to 11:00 am; and in Bombala at The Showground between 1 and 2:30 PM. On Sunday, the riders and bikes will take on a shorter run, departing the Car Club Clubhouse at 9:15 am - travelling to Countegeny via Numeralla and returning to the Clubhouse.

Lifecycle Regional ride in town tomorrow Our communities are set to welcome a dedicated band of cyclists into the region, with the Lifecycle Regional Ride hitting the area between October 15 and 24. And you can get involved! The regional cycling tour is part of the annual Lifecycle community event held in Canberra to raise awareness and funds for the Leukaemia Foundation. The ride will visit Southern NSW communities to raise awareness of Leukaemia Foundation services for patients with leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and related blood disorders in the region. Participating riders will depart Canberra tomorrow, October 15, and travel through Yass, Gunning, Crookwell, Goulburn, Braidwood, Moruya, Batemans Bay, Bega, Pambula, Bombala, Delegate, Cooma and Queanbeyan over 10 days. On the local front the group will be in Cathcart on Wednesday, October 21 from around 3pm, and are hoping to encourage other cyclists to join them for the ride into Bombala.

Organisers hope for a big band of cyclists to ride into town on the Wednesday, with a welcome barbecue to be shared at the Community Centre. Those taking part in the Lifecycle tour will stay overnight in Bombala before riding on to Delegate on October 22, enjoying morning tea at the School of Arts. In a very exciting addition to the tour, the cyclists will actually be able to ride a section of the ancient Bundian Way the first cyclists to ever do so! From here it is on to lunch at Delegate’s Bill Jeffery’s Park where the local primary school students will themselves ride around the park to help raise funds for the cause. And as if all this wasn’t enough support from the community, the riders will then return to Bombala, where they will enjoy an evening of drinks and finger food kindly hosted by the Heritage from 5.30pm. This will be yet another fundraiser for the Leukaemia Foundation, with the people of Cathcart, Bombala and Delegate having ample opportunity to get behind the

Lifecycle. And it doesn’t stop there! The Lifecycle Regional Ride will journey into Cooma at 3pm on Friday, October 23 and will be attending a fundraising barbeque held by Snowy Hydro Limited at Centennial Park. “Cooma and the south-west region is one of the Snowy Hydro SouthCare’s busier service areas with over 11 percent of our 509 missions being tasked there over the past financial year. I am looking forward to riding through the region and hearing people’s stories who have been affected by our service,” said Chris Kimball, Snowy Hydro SouthCare CEO and lymphoma survivor. Local cyclists are encouraged to join the regional riders as they depart the town and can ride part or all of the way to the next town. If you are interested, please go to www.lifecycle.org.au to register or contact Tony on 0414 882 309.

Shelley and Amaranda win state title Shelley Kleven and her beautiful pony Amaranda Moet spent the second week of the school holidays at the 2015 Australian Interschool Equestrian Championships as part of the NSW team. Shelley was lucky enough to qualify onto the NSW team to compete in two disciplines the Primary 45cm Combined Training and the Primary Working Show Hunter. Each state nominates four riders for each discipline in both Primary and Secondary divisions, so the level of competition is very high. Disciplines included are combined training, showjumping, eventing, dressage and show horse. The combined training consists of a dressage test and a showjumping round. Shelley and Moet produced a terrific dressage test for a score of 70.63% this put her into first place and

a clear showjumping round kept her there to become the Primary 45cm Combined Training Champion. Shelley was also a member of the NSW Combined Training Team (the states best scores across all the combined training heights) which claimed the overall Reserve Champions. The Working Show Hunter consists of a Led, Rider Class and Jumping Ridden sections. Overall Shelley placed 7th in this event on a count back, scores were so close 5th 6th and 7th were all on the same points and had to be separated by count back to the riding class. Shelley and Moet actually placed first in the Ridden Jumping Section of this event. Shelley and Moet were incredibly proud to walk away from these championships with two first place ribbons.

Swim season starts tonight Cooma Swimming Club will commence its 2015- 2016 season tonight at 6pm when it holds its first time trial. Three strokes are swum each week and swimmers are graded according to their ability. All swimmers must be accompanied by an adult and are asked to have their names in to the race secretary by 5.45pm on the day. The time trial nights see swimmers competing against their own times and they are awarded points for improvement in each swim.

At the end of the season the overall point score winner receives the Cooma Ex-Services Club Shield and trophies are awarded to the most improved in several age groupings. Swimmers took to the water last Wednesday for some fun swims and if that was an indication of things to come then the season is looking good. New swimmers may have a come and try night so if you are not sure how your child will go come along and give it a try.

Mixed basketball comp The Cooma Basketball association is holding mixed basketball during this school term. The seniors are starting this week whilst the juniors will commence next week. Mixed basketball has two men and three women on the court at any one time and is increasing in popularity especially with the juniors. The junior basketballers are also preparing for the representative trip to Merimbula in November with six teams taking part on the day. With the increase in junior numbers the Association is looking at travelling to other towns next year and having

other towns visit Cooma so that all age groups get to play and all keen players get to take part as in most groups we would be able to field more than one team. With the support of the business community the Association has been able to purchase 10 sets of basketball tops and shorts in the club colours of orange and black and these will be ready by our trip to the coast. Thank you to our sponsors as the last time we bought rep tops was some 12 years ago and they have really reached their use by date.

Fillies contest Premier’s Challenge

The regular football season might be over for most, but for a hardworking group of Monaro girls, training started again four weeks ago as they headed towards the Premier’s Leaguetag Challenge in Newcastle. The girls were up against the best Leaguetag teams in the state, most of whom had won their respective grand finals. With this year’s Group 16 premiers, the Bega Chicks, unavailable to attend, it was left to the Cooma Fillies and Bombala HighHeelers to take up the challenge. The team consisted of Cooma Fillies Anna Steel, Georgie Clarke, Abby Schofield, Kate Schofield, Meg Bracher, Kristy Nicholls and Erin Donnelly; and Bombala High-Heelers Maree Coates, Monique Ingram, Tash Stewart, Jane Peadon, Chloe Hodak and Keiarna Rodwell. Playing in Cooma colours and under the watchful eye of Coach Craig Schofield and Team Manager Susan Morgan, the ‘Fillies’ travelled to Newcastle for a day of tough footy in hot conditions. The Fillies first game was against the Eugowra Golden Eagles from Central West NSW and the Fillies ran out victors, 18-4. It was the defensive efforts of the Monaro side that stood out in this game, with Eugowra struggling to break through the solid line of the team. First points were drawn from a lovely intercepted ball from Maree Coates who put Abby Schofield through, before a characteristic barnstorming run from Georgie Clarke extended the lead and a great inside ball from Abby Schofield to Tash Stewart in support gained the third try of the game just before half time. The efforts of Anna Steel, Meg Bracher and Chloe Hodak in the middle of the park propelled the girls forward and despite a second half resurgence from Eugowra, the Fillies held on for the win. In the second match of the day, the Fillies took on the Moree Boars, coming off their premiership win in Group 19. It was a tougher contest than their first match, and the team were under the pump from the get go. The Fillies earned first points through a try to Georgie Clarke, but from the restart, Moree got the ball back and quickly returned fire, catching the Monaro girls on the back foot and scoring their own under the posts. A huge rally from Kristy Nicholls, Monique Ingram, Erin Donnelly and Keiarna Rodwell kept the Fillies in the game, but when they found themselves cemented on their own try line, it was the individual

effort of Tash Stewart who got them out of trouble, as she picked up a grubber in goal and ran the length of the field to score. Moree pushed the Fillies to their limits and fullback Kate Schofield was a standout player in the game, putting her body on the line to make tags and stop kicks under pressure from the Moree speedsters. The Fillies topped off their efforts with a beautiful try to Jane Peadon out wide and ended the game in front, 14-6. The win against Moree set up a do-or-die final pool game against the Kootingal Roosters who also had wins against Eugowra and Moree earlier in the day. With only the top team from each pool progressing to the semi-finals, it was an essential win for both teams if they wished to progress. This game came down to the fitness and energy levels of both sides. An early line break to the Kootingal girls had the Fillies chasing hard, and unable to keep up, a try was scored from a questionably forward pass. Shortly after, a penalty goal extended Kootingal’s lead and though the Fillies pushed hard and tested the Roosters’ defence, particularly through the mammoth kicks of Maree Coates and Meg Bracher, but Kootingal were just too good. One last try against the Fillies rounded out the day and the final score read 12-0. The Fillies can hold their heads high, as they matched the efforts of some of the best teams in NSW. The Kiama Knights went on to beat the Kincumber Colts in the grand final, 14-0. On final rankings, the Cooma Fillies side finished the day in fifth place out of 14 teams, which reflects the outstanding quality of football that the Group 16 sides have demonstrated this year. The girls send their thanks to Group 16 and the Cooma Stallions Committees for their financial assistance in sending the girls away, also to bus driver/waterboy Terry Schofield, trainer Tony Clarke and Fortitude Physiotherapy’s Fi Harrison for making the journey with the team. The event was played in the best of spirits and was a fantastic sign of the progress of the women’s competition over the last few years, and hopefully an indication things to come in 2016.

Potter honoured Hammer throwers place third in state at Adaminaby Adaminaby Bowling Club was the place to be last Saturday for the Green Naming Day to recognise the many years of service Ed Potter has given to the Club and District as Bowler, Administrator, worker and all round good bloke. Approximately 50 bowlers attended from Nimmitabel, Jindabyne, Cooma and Adaminaby Bowling Clubs as well as Men’s Zone President, Chris Gales, District President, John van Dongen, Ladies District President Lyn McMahon and Snowy River Shire Mayor, John Cahill, who performed the unveiling ceremony when the Southern Green was named “The Ed Potter Green”. All present enjoyed two games of bowls, a fine lunch prepared by the ladies and the hospitality of the Adaminaby Bowling Club. Altogether a fitting day for a stalwart of bowls in the area. A Monaro District Fundraising Day will be held at Cooma Club on Sunday October 25 with both men and women very welcome. Dress is mufti and the cost will be $15 each and will cover cost of bowls and barbecue lunch. The format for the day will be decided when numbers are known but initially nomination in teams of fours will be appreciated and lodged by Wednesday October 21. Questions to Neil McGregor on 0487 447 088 or Mark Buckley 0447 070 949. Draw at 10am bowls start at 10.30am. Last Wednesday it was with great pleasure that we welcomed Bill McDonald back to Wednesday bowls and hope to see him regularly. Sergio Roncelli and Ev Hamilton teamed up with Bill against Allan Crowe, Mario Frezza and Colin Roberson and soon made their presence felt when they had a 15/3 lead over Allan, Mario and Colin. The final score to Sergio, Ev and Bill 28/8. Despite being on eight shots for five ends, Bob Douglass, Renate Winckel and Geoff Venables were 8/8 with Skip Hamilton, Mary Phillips and Denis Steinfort on 11. Bob, Renate and Geoff completely dominated the remaining ends in winning 27/12. Max Povey, Roulie Steinfort and Kevin Jackson were a little slow to get going against Mary Boller, Mick Mayhew and Leonie Snell but when they did they made every post a winner in setting up a 17/5 lead on end 11 and went on to win 28/20. Peter Harris was an impartial lead for Max Butler and Terry Croker and for Mike Mannile and Paul Cannell which resulted in the closest game for the day. Paul’s team were early leaders and all though challenged on several occasions ran out winners 19/14. Only nine social bowlers on Saturday with so many players absent in Adaminaby and Bombala. Sergio Roncelli and Ken Rees were kept busy by Max Butler and Denis Steinfort and were 12/12 on 15. Scores were fairly evenly match from then to the end with Sergio and Ken gaining a narrow 20/17 victory. Keith Goodwin played Swinging Lead for Wayne Flynn and John Vincent and for Colin Whiting and Roulie Steinfort. The latter team made a great start with five shots on the first end. Scores were 13/12 in Roulie’s and Colin’s favour on end 13. They had the best of play to the end, running out winners 26/15. The weather on Sunday was anything to encourage bowlers and only eight turned up for two games of pairs. Steve Lapham and Daphne Buckley had a narrow 10/8 lead over Ken Rees and Renate Winckel on end 13 but finished strongly to win 15/12. Mario Frezza and Richard Nichols were 12/12 with Bob Douglass and Geoff Venables on 13 but were unable to sustain the pressure with Bob and Geoff winning 28/17. The first round of the Monaro Clubs Challenge for 2015 will be played at Cooma on October 31 with Cooma playing Adaminaby. The Cooma team is; Pairs, P Marsicano and W. Lodge. Triples, J Barnes, T George and M Buckley. Fours, M Frezza, C Roberson G D’Amico and G Venables.

Cooma hammer throwers have won medals at NSW All-Schools Athletics. Both Ella Davis and Jordan Davis placed third in their respective hammer competitions. Jordan was first up and had some trouble with the hammer cage gate (we don’t have one on our training cage), with one of his trials getting entangled in the netting of the gate. He managed to improve his personal best, recording 28.63m. This throw by Jordan broke his Athletics ACT Record by over three metres (which he can claim). Jordan also competed in the 13 years discus competition on the same day against a field of more than 20 competitors, all vying to be the state top discus thrower in the 13 years age group. Jordan was unable to make any progress after starting well on his

first throw. The next two attempts he wasn’t able to improve and finished up in 17th place. Ella had to wait and watch the boys throw before she could start her competition and she didn’t have the best of days at hammer, but managed third place with 22.33 m. Ella, like Jordan, had difficulties with the cage gate and only getting one good throw in. Ella’s best throw this season was on par with her winning throw. Cooma Athletics, Inc are pleased with progress of all our hammer thrower and over the next few weeks they have four competitions in Canberra at the AIS track and Canberra’s new track at Woden. They anticipate some excellent results before most of them have to progress into the next age group come January 16.

on the Monaro

While most Year 12 students had the upcoming HSC on their minds last weekend, Bombala’s Bailey Jones was busy winning gold at the NSW All Schools Track and Field Championships. The 18-year-old travelled to Homebush on Friday to compete in two events Saturday morning, claiming first place in the Triple Jump and third in the Long Jump. Bailey was competing among a field of 1,400 students from state, Catholic and independent schools, with both results being impressive athletic achievements in the State Championships. Naturally Bailey, his family and the Bombala High School community are thrilled with his success, particularly considering he only ‘fell into’ the Triple Jump at an athletics carnival in Cooma earlier this year.

For those unfamiliar with the event, the Triple Jump is sometimes referred to as the Hop, Step and Jump and is similar to Long Jump, with Bailey recording an incredible 12.75 metres to take the win. He has no formal training but the event seemed to come naturally to Bailey, who is an avid sportsman, playing basketball, rugby league and touch football locally. The All-Schools Championships are considered a starting point for many of NSW’s best athletes, and considering Bailey is also currently sitting his HSC exams, he is certainly shaping a promising future. State Champion: Bombala’s Bailey Jones won the Triple Jump in the NSW All Schools Track and Field Championships on Saturday.
