Airport soars with government Flood aftermath funding boost

Member for Monaro John Barilaro, Snowy Monaro Regional Council Administrator Dean Lynch and General Manager Joe Vescio at the Snowy Mountains Airport for the announcement.

Snowy Mountains Regional Airport is among 10 projects to receive vital infrastructure upgrades under the Regional Tourism Infrastructure Fund, thanks to the support of the NSW Government.

Minister for Regional Development, Skills and Small Business and Member for the Monaro John Barilaro announced almost $500,000 has been secured to improve lighting at the Snowy Mountains Regional Airport facilities.

“This funding will go towards upgrading the runway lighting which is vital to the continued operation of the airport for operation,” Mr Barilaro said.

“I am pleased to see NSW Government investments being made across the regions and I will continue to work with local communities in the

Monaro electorate to secure new opportunities for economic growth and job creation.”

The Snowy Mountains Airport project is amongst a number of regional airports that will receive upgrades as part of the second round of funding under the Regional Tourism Infrastructure Fund.

“In December last year we announced $35 million in funding for 17 regional airport infrastructure projects, including Tamworth airport,” Mr Barilaro said.

“The NSW Government is committed to investing in infrastructure which will create jobs, drive economic growth and deliver the services that will unleash the economic potential of regional NSW.” To find out more visit: www.industry.nsw.gov.au/rtif

Due to heavy rainfall throughout the region over the first week of June, the Snowy Monaro Regional Council has been assessing infrastructure damage and beginning repairs.

The entire region experienced road closures during the heaviest falls, although traffic has resumed in the vast majority of locations.

The council confirms that unsealed local rural roads, particularly in the Bombala district, have sustained substantial damage.

Council prioritised school bus routes and access issues over the days immediately following the flooding.

Initial work in the Bombala

district has also included the removal of built up logs and debris at the Coolumbooka Weir and Coolumbooka bridge.

Logs have also been removed from the Cambalong Creek Bridge, although there is still considerable work to be done on washed out rural roads in the Bombala district.

On a lesser note, parks and gardens in Bombala have been impacted as the flooding caused tree, footbridge and carpark damage, while softfall and bins were washed away.

Work will be ongoing throughout the Snowy Monaro region.

Top: One of two damaged footbridges on the Bombala River.

Right: Unsealed rural roads have been the worst affected by heavy rain in the Bombala district, with this being just a minor example of ruts along the BibbenlukeCathcart Road.

Arrests and small fires Charged with a mid range PCA, a 49-year-old driver has had their licence suspended after being caught drink driving at the intersection of Mittagang Road and Alkoomi Place on Friday.

He will appear in Cooma Court on 23 June.

A 53-year-old Cooma man has been charged with stealing meat from Woolworths on May 7. He was arrested and charged last week and is due in Goulburn Court on June 21.

Rural Fire Services attended a house in Berridale on Sunday evening after residents placed a plastic kettle on a wood fire box. There were no injuries or damage, however the house was

filled with smoke.

A small car fire on the Monaro Highway resulted in a vehicle having to be towed from near the Ingalara Creek on Monday. The fire was believed to have started due to an issue with the brakes. No one was injured and only minor damage occurred.

RFS also extinguished a small African lovegrass fire on Towrang Vale Road on Monday afternoon. No significant damage was caused.

NSW Fire and Rescue received a call on Tuesday morning reporting smoke over the Cooma Showgrounds. Upon investigation, the reported smoke was identified as fog.

Snow Safe 2016 induction

NSW police officers from around the state met at the Jindabyne Sport and Recreation Centre last Friday for the 2016 Snow Safe Induction.

Ten additional police officers have been stationed to the alpine area and Superintendent Rod Smith from the Monaro Local Area Command said he expects the additional staff to be very effective.

This winter police will be targeting

alcohol related crime and anti-social behavior around the region.

Superintendent Smith urges people to know their limits while socialising and to take advantage of the other, nonalcohol, related activities that the area provides.

Police will also be focusing on reducing road trauma during this busy period and drivers are urged to show caution when travelling to and from

the snow. Police are also telling people to carry a personal locator beacon (PLB) when travelling back country so that they can be easily located if they become lost, before suffering hypothermia. “I hope it’s going to be a good winter for everyone and people enjoy the alpine area safely,� Superintendent Smith said.

Snowy high-flow event suspended DPI Water has announced it would suspend the Snowy River high-flow environmental water release planned for Thursday June 16 due to the recent catchment flooding.

Acting Director Surface Water Management, Brian Graham, said the decision to suspend the first of five highflow events planned over winter and spring was made based on the implications of the heavy rainfall experienced across the catchment earlier in the week as a result of an East Coast low pressure system. “While the current flooding is subsiding, it was decided that the planned release for 16 June, although having a peak of less than 2,200 megalitres per day compared with natural flows recently of over 14,000 megalitres per day at Dalgety, could potentially impact unnecessarily on downstream landholders given natural tributary inflows are continuing,� Mr Graham said. “The peak flow rate that was proposed for 16 June will not be rescheduled; therefore the next planned highflow event will take place on Wednesday 17 August, subject to weather conditions at the time. “Although the first high-flow event has been suspended, the

same planned total annual volume will still be released to the Snowy River during the 2016-17 water year.�

The remaining planned high-flow releases are: • Wednesday 17 August – equivalent peak flow 2,236 ML/d for 8 hours • Wednesday 7 September – equivalent peak flow 2,536 ML/d for 8 hours • Tuesday 20 September – equivalent peak flow 3,079 ML/d for 8 hours • Wednesday 5 October – equivalent peak flow 8,109 ML/d for 8 hours “These high-flow water releases are designed to better mimic the natural flow characteristics that are seen in Snowy Mountain rivers, with the aim of improving the long-term health of the iconic Snowy River. “Downstream landholders are being encouraged to make appropriate plans ahead of the planned water releases, including moving pumps and infrastructure to higher ground. “DPI Water will work with the NSW State Emergency Service and Bureau of Meteorology to provide information to the community regarding the management of these release should weather conditions warrant,â€? said Mr Graham.

On air - 2MNO’s new home Local community radio station, 2MNO, is now broadcasting from their brand new studio in Cooma North.

Over the last few months, volunteers from the 2MNO committee have been working tirelessly to get the new studio up and running from what used to be the Cooma North post office building.

Previously in Commissioner Street, the new home for 2MNO boasts a broadcast studio and a production studio.

Their main transmitter is now based at their new location.

2MNO president Phil Daley says there has been some reports from listeners that the reception has weakened or can no longer be picked up. He said in most cases this has been resolved simply by moving the radio to a different area of the house, or by adjusting the external antenna on their radios.

The Nimmitabel studio is still open and operational and Mr Daley says they are looking for more presenters for Nimmitabel especially. “I would like to thank Chris Nolty and Dieter Kurella who put in many hours to get the new studio ready,� said Mr Daley, “I would also like to thank John

Gill, our former president. The new studio was his vision and he encouraged us to make it happen.� “We are very glad to be in the new studio and we hope that it will be a valuable asset for the whole community.�

2MNO’s ‘Good Morning Monaro’ program is on every weekday from 9am to 10am.

This program provides an opportunity for community groups to make announcements about upcoming events and other news. Mr Daley says that in light of South East ABC removing funeral announcements from their programming, 2MNO is currently speaking with local funeral directors to include it in their morning broadcast.

BABYPOST

Michael and Leah Redden are excited to announce that Georgia Maisie Redden was born on Thursday June 2, at 10.16am.

In terms of music, 2MNO mainly offers easy listening, country and jazz music, but Mr Daley says there is a little bit of something for everyone.

Mr Daley has been with 2MNO since 1999 and says he enjoys presenting his program on Thursday afternoons because it gives him a chance to sit and listen to the music he likes. “But I also enjoy it because I am sharing my interest in that music with others,� he says.

Mr Daley is also in charge of scheduling the ads and does a lot of production work.

Any local groups or businesses that are interested in supporting 2MNO or anyone who would like to present can contact the studio on 6452 5210.

Georgia weighed 9lb 1oz (4.11kg) and was 53cm long.

Big brother Charlie is super proud.

Grandparents are Shirley Redden, and Philip and Judy Jamieson.

Fitting reward for supporting charity On Tuesday 14 June 2016 I met with our Local Representation Committees to discuss former committees from the old local government areas. The aim of the orientation session was to have everyone meet each other and to clarify the important role they each will fulfil in shaping the 'voice' local communities will have within a larger council in the future . The first stage of this was the appointment of LRC members to the existing local committees. This will ensure that necessary community advisory committees are still in place so that members of the public still have input into decisions that affects their facilities, annual events and funding opportunities. I’m eager to utilise our representatives and proud to announce their appointment.

A large amount of rain fell during the storm that occurred last weekend and into early last week. I would like to remind everyone to take extra care during extreme weather and to make sure you are driving responsibly through flood water areas. It is also important to be aware of falling trees and branches so I urge community members to be wary. I appreciate all residents across the region taking safety into consideration as no major incidents were reported. The infrastructure and surrounding areas that were affected during the storm will be assessed over the next week once the water recedes. Staff will be able to determine the level of damage and arrange to repair any damaged crossings, roads, causeways etc.

The Lake Wallace Dam project is nearing completion and Council is very pleased to be able to finally provide an adequate water supply to the residents of Nimmitabel after years of planning and consultation. After years of drought and water restrictions, the Dam will provide an efficient supply of water to the community. During the last heavy rainfall the Lake Wallace Dam filled exceptionally quickly and some water actually had to be released to meet the design requirements.

On Monday 6 June 2016 Joe Vescio, the Hon. John Barilaro and myself travelled out to the Snowy Mountains Airport to give almost $500,000 that will go towards improving lighting at the facility.

This funding was received under the Regional Tourism Infrastructure Fund from the NSW Government.

Mr Fluffy forums Baking apprentices connect at TAFE Residents the Snowy Monaroi Region are strongly encouraged to attend community forums about loosefill asbestos and the NSW Government’s Voluntary Purchase and Demolition Program.

The forums will be held in Cooma and Bombala today and tomorrow.

With the registration deadline for free sample testing fast approaching, NSW Fair Trading Commissioner Rod Stowe said homeowners should participate in the Program while assistance was being offered.

“I urge those with homes built before 1980 to register and sign up for the Program because they may be eligible for assistance if affected,” Mr Stowe said.

“Homeowners only have until August 1 this year to register – that’s less than three months away – and we don’t want anyone left behind.”

Twenty-eight local government areas (LGAs) have been

identified as being affected by loose-fill asbestos, many of them in the state’s south.

The NSW Government is proposing new laws to protect future homeowners from unknowingly purchasing a property that contains loose-fill asbestos.

Under these laws, when selling a property, homeowners must confirm in the contract of sale if the property: • contains loose-fill asbestos; or • is free of loose-fill asbestos.

If homeowners do not comply with these laws they risk significant financial loss and potential legal action.

The forums will be held at Bombala tonight, from 7pm tpo 8pm at Bombala RSL Club and tmorrow night, at the Cooma Ex-Services club, from 7 to 8pm.

Lake Wallace Dam Water Release

The exceptional rain fall experienced at the Lake Wallace Dam catchment is resulting in a high ‘rate of fill’ that has the potential to exceed the initial ‘rate of fill’ design limits; and there are concerns that the dam may be filling too quickly.

“Who would have thought, after years of drought and water limitation in the Nimmitabel area, that we would be faced with a challenge such as having the Lake Wallace Dam filling too quickly”, explained Snowy Monaro Regional Council Administrator, Mr Dean Lynch.

To ensure that the rate of fill is consistent with design requirements, the project Contractor has been directed to manage the water level within the dam during this initial fill period, as close as possible to a predetermined level by means of releasing water through the outlet valve last Tuesday.

This action was essential for the immediate operation and long term maintenance of the structure and to minimise any environmental impact.

The release was undertaken overnight as a short term measure that ceased at 6am on

Wednesday morning.

“Our operational staff have been monitoring the situation closely, the water was released through the downstream control valve. With the water entering the Piging Creek, ensuring that the dam will continue to fill at a controlled rate to safeguard the structural integrity of the dam. The long term sustainability of the structure and the environment for future generations to have access to a reliable water supply is of the upmost importance”, Mr Lynch went on to explain.

The contractor will continue to closely monitor the dam water levels to maximise the benefits of this rain event.

Bombala Westpac branch offering $500 community grant The Westpac Bank is preparing to mark a huge milestone, but it’s one of Bombala’s charities or community groups that will be celebrating thanks to a generous giveaway.

Westpac, the oldest bank and company in Australia, will turn an impressive 200 years old on April 8, 2017.

To celebrate, the Bombala branch is giving $500 away to a local charity or not-for-profit community group.

Any local charity or group can put in a submission, giving the details of the group and explaining how they will spend the money to benefit the community.

Submissions can be emailed to Bank Manager, Trudie Joseph at tjoseph@westpac.

Snow visitors can access speedy NBN™ this winter

Thousands of visitors to areas surrounding Jindabyne will be able to connect to the NBN network for the first time this winter, using speedy fixed wireless technology.

The NBN offers fast and reliable download speeds, giving the local hotels, businesses and residents at the foothills of Kosciuszko National Park, the opportunity to access all the online services they need, especially when away from home for the weekend.

More than 840 homes and businesses surrounding Jindabyne, including Jindabyne East and North, are the first local premises eligible to connect to the NBN network in the area.

Telstra Country Wide Area General Manager for ACT and Southern NSW, Chris Taylor, said the launch of Telstra services on the NBN network around Jindabyne would put a range of new services and applications within reach of residents, businesses and tourists.

“Tourism is the backbone of the Jindabyne community. Having access to fast broadband can help locals better source information, materials and supplies for their growing businesses,” he said.

“It also allows them the opportunity to video chat and adds another dimension to their potential interactions with customers or suppliers.

In the case of local hotels, restaurants and cafes, it also means they can pass those benefits on to their customers.

“We strongly encourage the residents and local business in parts of Jindabyne to look into the benefits that the NBN can provide.”

The launch of NBN comes as broadband use in Australia has reached unprecedented levels.

Last year the volume of traffic carried over Telstra’s fixed network increased by more than 30 per cent*. The streaming video revolution is accelerating demand for fast, reliable connectivity, with more than half of Telstra’s fixed broadband traffic now video related.

“We’re seeing phenomenal interest in streaming video services as a way to enjoy TV shows and movies independent of broadcast schedules.

The speed and reliability of the NBN will allow our customers to enjoy this content with fewer slowdowns and on multiple devices throughout the home. And to help them get a taste of this world we’re including a bonus 6-month Presto subscription on new NBN packages,” Mr Taylor said. Telstra is also providing a range of sophisticated, NBN network optimised technology for home and the office to ensure customers enjoy high speed connectivity inside their home or business.

com.au or applicants can call Trudie on 6458 5822 to discuss the details.

Submissions must be received by 5pm on Thursday, June 30, and the Bombala team will together select a winner on Friday, July 8.

Pictured: Emma Halligan and Trudie Joseph of Westpac Bombala are ready to giveaway $500 to a local charity or not-for-profit community group to help celebrate Westpac turning 200 next year.

CAN’T MAKE IT ON ELECTION DAY?

If you know you can’t vote on Saturday 2 July, you can vote early.

It’s amazing how powerful a piece of paper can be on election day.

If you are an Australian citizen aged 18 years or over, you are required by law to vote. So, if you’re unable to make it to a polling place on election day, you can vote early at an early voting centre or apply for a postal vote.

You can vote early if you are at work on Saturday 2 July, or will be outside the electorate where you are enrolled. There are other reasons you can vote early – visit www.aec.gov.au/early to find out more.

Your vote will help shape Australia.

A picture book set in our back yard

The Snow Wombat is a picture book by Susannah Chambers, set in the beautiful Australian alpine region.

A new childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book has hit the shelves, and it looks a lot like home.

The Snow Wombat by Susannah Chambers is an Australian story set in the Snowy Mountains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All Australian childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books are either set in the outback with deserts or in the bush,â&#x20AC;? says Allen and Unwin Publishers representative Deb Stevens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are none that are set in our snow, except for some beautiful brumby stories, but nothing for a younger age group.

So I went to Allen and Unwin with this idea and Susannah came up with this beautiful story, The Snow Wombat.â&#x20AC;?

Giving a reading at the Fox Tales bookshop in Vale Street on Wednesday, Deb Stevens said the children

really enjoyed the sweet story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The illustrations by Mark Jackson are also really beautiful,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was surprised to find out that Mark had never been to the snow, because he has captured it so perfectly in his artworks. He said that his local Bayside library helped by providing photographs for him to work with.â&#x20AC;?

Local author Rowena Evans did another reading at the Cooma library later that day, with some very special guests.

Two baby wombats came along for the children to see, thanks to LAOKO (Looking After Our Kosciuszko Orphans).

Both lost their mothers in vehicle accidents and have been taken in by the rescue organisation.

Ally Johns heads back home A big morning tea with a winter twist Ally Johns has been Cooma Rotary Club’s Youth Exchange Student during the last year.

The much loved young girl will leave soon for her American home.

Her parents came to visit recently for her presentation to the club meeting. Ally spoke of her new experiences, the safari through the eastern states of Australia and learning new words and phrases as well as understanding our accent.

She was especially grateful to her host families for their hospitality.

Ally comes from Connecticut and has stayed with several host families and attended Monaro High School.

She will be sorely missed by all the members of the Cooma Rotary Club and the Cooma community.

Another exchange student will be coming to Cooma next year, this time from Norway.

Anne Hambly, Lurline Thorp and Maureen Barron enjoying some soup at the library last week.

A warm bowl of homemade soup was just the ticket last Tuesday, especially one for a good cause.

The Cooma Library hosted the Biggest Morning Soup, inviting the community to come along for a bowl and to raise some money for the Cancer Council.

The well-known charity event, Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea for the Cancer Council is popular

across the country for 26 May, but can be held anytime during May or June.

Money raised by these morning teas goes towards research, prevention and support service programmes.

Snowy Mountains Grammar School partners with Jindabyne Trail Stewardship The SMGS Mountain Biking School of Excellence Program has been designed to give students a foundation in downhill, free-ride and cross-country mountain biking.

The program aims to increase riding skills, improve techniques and to give students the opportunity to develop a pathway to national level industry certification in trail design and construction.

The school has partnered with the Jindabyne Trail Stewardship for this purpose and it allows students to gain practical experience through maintaining local infrastructure. Specifically, this relates to applying trail design and construction techniques within the local environment.

Students have spent four weeks discussing the theory behind effective and long-term impacts of trails on the local environment and have now started

applying these specific skills to two local trails in the Mill Creek area.

Students are now able to instantly recognise trail deterioration and are able to apply skills to improve and fix sections of these trails. As a result, these trails are made safer for the general public who utilise them.

In terms of these trail improvements, students first removed unwanted debris from the trail and then began the task of widening a very narrow single track.

Students were able to improve the drainage from the trail to minimise water damage to the trail and surrounding areas. This involved adding grade reversals, fixed berms for added safety, as well as building new rollers and jumps to create interesting new features.

Snowy Mountains Grammar School would like to acknowledge the work of the students

How the locals like it

involved and extend a special thank you to the President of the Jindabyne Trail Stewardship, Craig Stonestreet. Without his

excellent professional guidance, this wonderful opportunity would not have been possible.

Chris takes on Hip Pocket Hip Pocket Workwear and Safety has a new owner.

Chris Hanna has always wanted to own his own business. With parents and grandparents who have been business owners in Cooma, Chris says it has been his dream to do the same. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My family have been great for support and advice when it comes to running my own business,â&#x20AC;? says Chris.

Working at McDonalds Restaurant since he was 14, Chris quickly moved up the ranks and became the manager for eight years. In between he also worked at the Commonwealth and Westpac banks as a Customer Service Specialist and Business Banker.

With a good understanding of the business world, the importance of quality customer service and efficient staff management, Chris has the recipe for success. He is keeping on all the existing staff members of the store, who are already impressed with Chrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy and enthusiasm.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vesna, Pam and Karen have all been here for a few years, so they definitely know their stuff,â&#x20AC;? says Chris, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have already been a great support to me.â&#x20AC;?

Chris plans on keeping all existing supplies and adding a few more ranges. In particular he wants to expand the range of schoolwear available in the store.

Chris sees Hip Pocket as a good investment in what he calls â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a great little townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Workwear and safety gear is a need, not a want,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most customers come in knowing exactly what they are after.â&#x20AC;?

Hip Pocket is a franchise business with 51 stores across Australia. Being a franchise gives Chris great buying power for ordering stock in bulk.

Hip Pocket also provides an embroidering service that is done on site for any design.

Call in to Hip Pocket for all your workwear and safety gear needs on Vale Street, Cooma.

COOMA WATER TREATMENT PLANT WINDOW REPLACEMENT

INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS Burra Road Burra Creek Bridge 15 Tonne Load Limit Effective from Wednesday 27 April 2016, a 15 tonne load limit will be in place on the Burra Creek Bridge on the Burra Road, Burra.

Council has received advice from a structural engineer, that the 15 tonne limit must remain until defects in the deck are addressed. Planning for upgrading of the deck is underway.

Vehicles over 15 tonne will be required to detour via the Monaro Highway.

Council acknowledges the inconvenience this may cause and apologises to residents and the travelling public. We will keep you informed as further information becomes available.

If you require further information, please contact Mr Arthur Wilkinson, Works Manager, on (02) 6455 1830.

Over many years of the harsh Cooma weather conditions, the wooden window frames have deteriorated in such a way that they have become unsafe. The new aluminium window frames will outlast the life of the Water Treatment Plant and are expected to be maintenance free.

Thank you to contractors Monaro Glass for their professional workmanship.

Pictured above are Monaro Glass and sub-contractor staff in front of the newly installed aluminium framed windows.

the

postman calls

Yes, it is definitely winter. There might not be heaps of white stuff on top of the hills at present, but there has been enough of the other white stuff on the ground at The Postman’s house.

Frosty the Snowman would feel right at home!

The Monaro Post is moving house!

As of next week, the newspaper will no longer occupy the front of the SMEC fluid mechanics laboratory.

It’s been a great location, plenty of parking, plenty of wildlife and plenty of memories. It is important for the community that this iconic Snowy relic be conserved - great place for a museum and/or visitors centre.

Instead, the team will be working from one of Cooma’s most attractive buildings, the art deco building at 59 Vale Street.

If you’re in the vicinity, pop in and say g’day! Sponge cakes and pineapple cheese cakes will always be welcome.

(Hint: Gwennie and Lola!)

No excuse now for NOT getting to the gym, since it is only about 50m away.

(Especially necessary if the aforesaid foodstuffs turn up!)

Numeralla mobile phone black spot resolution Editor, Numeralla and District Activities Incorporated (NDAI) have strong concerns that under the Round 1 Mobile Black Spot Program, it appears a mobile phone tower is to be constructed within Numeralla Village.

Funding for Numeralla’s black spot elimination was announced in April 2015, with construction now apparently scheduled in 2017. As far as NDAI can ascertain, Telstra and the Mobile Phone Black Spot Committee (MBSC) have not properly evaluated alternate sites, if at all, and to date have not engaged the local community in any discussion.

With a Federal election in train, why can’t we get a commitment from our Eden Monaro candidates, Telstra or the MBSC to properly investigate what appears to be a cost effective equitable investment of OUR tax dollars at a site known as the Hangman, 6.5 km north of the Village?

A Village site in the base of the valley will serve just the immediate Village environs, no doubt ‘ticking’ the black spot box and serving a political agenda. However, there appears to be two logical alternate sites that can achieve greater coverage with subjectively far greater value for their associated expenditure: • A new tower at the Hangman.

This site would serve large parts of the District, up to a 40 km radius, serving up to 10 times the number of residents that a Village tower would serve • Co-locate with no additional tower construction costs on the existing NBN tower 2.3 km from the Village, serving perhaps 50 additional residents, compared to a Village tower The proposed location in the Numeralla Village does not meet the needs of the larger community, ignoring large swathes of potential users, residents, itinerant campers, tourists and workers alike. A tower at the Hangman would appear to effectively address large parts of other identified District black spots such as Jerangle, Peak View, Badja, Countegany, Tuross, Carlaminda, and Rose Valley. In addition, it would reach the Monaro Highway to the west to parts of Murrumbucca and beyond.

Further, the Hangman site would dramatically improve emergency communication capability across the District. The District for the most

part has no Bega based ABC AM reception, our designated emergency broadcaster.

During times of emergency, effective communication is an ongoing challenge. Response and management of the relatively recent Yarrabin Bush Fire in the District suffered due to poor communication.

Incidents requiring detouring Monaro Highway traffic result in significant numbers of vehicles using Peak View Road north of Numeralla and the Cooma Numeralla Road, often at night in poor conditions.

Peak View Road is a largely unsealed, winding and narrow road about 40 km long with a heavy wildlife presence and no current mobile phone coverage, nor would it be covered by a Village or NBN phone tower.

Then there are the incidents that occur in the bush and paddock that speedy communication can assist alleviating. Not to mention the NSW Ambulance’ use of mobile phones for transmission of ECG data that improves the survivability of patients with heart condition by enabling preliminary treatment enroute.

It should be noted that phone communication is not one way, effective, equitable communication infrastructure benefits the entire community, not just those living in remote areas, communication is two way and benefits those at both ends of the dialogue.

The Hangman site will no doubt cost more to implement than either the Village or NBN site due to provision of electrical power, site tenure and access. NDAI believes the additional expenditure up front is justified due to the dramatically increased coverage that the site offers, and offers straight away. When will the rest of the District black spots be addressed if this opportunity is missed now?

NDAI believes that siting the tower at the Hangman will result in significantly greater mobile phone coverage and a net cost benefit. NDAI therefore requests that the Hangman site be fully evaluated as a site for the mobile phone tower, and if it’s found not viable, explain why not.

Why are our politicians seemingly so uninterested in this issue that is so important to their community?

A Day Made Better by Mrs Sullivan Semester One 2016 finished

The Bombala High School’s Emma Sullivan has been nominated in the ‘A Day Made Better’ program, with the popular PD/H/PE teacher being in the running to win some great prizes for her school from OfficeMax. A Day Made Better is a national program that rewards and recognises exceptional primary and secondary school teachers who go that extra mile for their students.

“We understand that exceptional teachers do more than just teach. They go above and beyond. They work hard to inspire. To motivate. And to create environments where students are empowered to learn. It’s for this reason that A Day Made Better

by OfficeMax was created,” a spokesperson said.

Parents, students, fellow staff members and the community in general are invited to nominate exceptional teachers to give them the recognition they deserve through the program - and this year Mrs Sullivan was quickly pushed forward!

The much loved teacher was humble in accepting the nomination, and Mrs Sullivan’s page will now be displayed on www.adaymadebetter.com.au up until June 17, with anyone being able to log on and add their support to her nomination.

After the nomination period closes this Friday, all nominations will be reviewed by the judging panel who will work to select the most deserving teachers as the ten 2016 winners.

Once the winners have been

selected, the Principals of the relevant schools will be notified, surprise celebrations will be run for each winner, and they will be rewarded for their inspirational

work with a prize pack for their school valued at $5,000 and an Apple iPad for their classroom.

Already Emma has wracked up a high number of supportive comments for her nomination, coming from students, parents and even former students who want to recognise her dedication.

“Emma is a teacher who genuinely cares for her students,” one parent writes.

“Her strength, support and words of wisdom make her a teacher that my girls respect and look up to. She can clearly define

the line of teacher/friend/coach and this gets her fantastic results in the classroom, on the sporting field and in life in general.”

A former student commented, “Emma Sullivan is definitely a teacher who goes above and beyond for all of her students. She is a fantastic teacher who taught me in more ways than one until I would understand and would always be so patient, enthusiastic and encouraging. She not only puts an exceptional amount of effort into her teaching, but also into ensuring all her students are in a happy environment and maintain an optimal wellbeing.

Emma Sullivan is one of the reasons why I enjoy education and chose to pursue further education at a university level because she made me believe that I was capable of that.

Emma most definitely deserves to be acknowledged for her dedication to her students and enthusiasm towards her career.”

There are numerous other positive comments, and if you’d like to add your own to support Mrs Sullivan and her chance to be recognised in the ‘A Day Made Better’ program, please visit www. adaymadebetter.com.au and search Bombala High School by this Friday, June 17.

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

The only way to appreciate this nice Adaminaby home is to see it yourself Looks can be deceiving and this home certainly proves that. It is like the Tardis because what you see outside masks the interior.

This home has had renovations throughout with polished timber floorboards, new bathroom and fresh paint.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cash rate cut leads to greater variable demand Following the Reserve Bank of Australia’s decision to cut the cash rate in May, demand for variable rate mortgages has improved.

According to Mortgage Choice’s latest national home loan approval data, variable rate home loans accounted for 76.11% of all loans written in May – up 0.52% from 75.59% the month prior.

“After the Reserve Bank’s decision to cut the cash rate at its May Board meeting, three of the four majors passed on the full rate cut – trimming their variable rates by 25 basis points,” Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said.

“With that in mind, it was hardly surprising to see a lift in demand for variable rate products this month. Borrowers are clearly looking to take advantage of the historically low rate environment.

“And, with many economists predicting at least one more rate cut this calendar year, I wouldn’t be surprised to see demand for variable rate products remaining strong for the foreseeable future.”

Across the country, demand for variable rate products was highest in Victoria, with this type of product accounting for 86.65% of all loans

written in May. Western Australia and South Australia weren’t too far behind, with variable rate products accounting for 78.62% and 77.85% respectively.

Variable rate demand was lowest in New South Wales, with this type of product accounting for 71.47% of all loans written.

Of the different variable rates on offer, ongoing discount products continued to prove the most popular with borrowers, with this type of product making up 46.01% of all loans written throughout the month of May. “Regardless of whether Australians decide on a variable rate, fixed rate or split rate mortgage, they can be guaranteed of securing themselves a very competitive interest rate,” Mr Flavell said.

“With the cash rate hitting 1.75% in May, the interest rates offered by Australia’s lenders have never been lower. These low interest rates are making the cost of borrowing more affordable than ever before – which is great news for home buyers, refinancers and investors.”

There was movement at the station for word had passed around That the wild mountain brumby will be shot from the ground Despite many who protest they should stay There are moves afoot to blow them all away “They must go” the State government has decreed Even though they are a true heritage breed For years these sure footed mountain dwellers Have long been the delight of many travellers For to catch sight and take a photo Has been a treasured Snowy holiday memento Alas, now after living free for over 150 years Their time will end through a veil of tears In times gone by the mountains were the summer home For thousands of cattle and many thousands of sheep to roam Since the late 60’s they too have been gone As their permission to graze was withdrawn Now the grass that was then short and sweet Is left to lie and pile up at our feet Soon the only ones left to lessen the fuel load Will also be made to hit the road No logic will be used to justify the decision Just those who think that they have a vision Will give no credit for all the good Just feed the public lies and falsehood The stock mans huts will shortly be all that is left And as they stand defiant though a little bereft What happened around them became part of history Why it has to be obliterated is surely a mystery The only mates they still have from the past Are to die at their feet from the guns blast The ‘environmentalists’ through selfishness and ignorance Have treated all our knowledge and pleas with indifference Doggedly these city folk have taken all that was ours Just so that when they come to smell the flowers They don’t get dung on their tyre or shoe And God forbid if something restricts their view!

The Cooma RSPCA Branch is pleased to announce that due to the community’s help, their rescue dog Maggie, has had essential dental surgery and is now set to join her forever home.

The branch held a special fundraiser for Maggie and the community response was outstanding.

The branch would like to thank “the wonderful people of the Monaro who helped us reach our target for Maggie’s dental treatment.

“Everyone who bought sausage sandwiches and cakes, people who contributed money,

They have taken our access through wilderness declarations We are restricted when we go there for vacations They have taken our stock routes and our snow leases A part of history each stroke of the pen decreases Now they want our horses too Just because they don’t like poo!

There are two sides to every argument I’ll agree But to do nothing their future will be bleak I foresee We need to see through the untruths we are told And payback these creatures that went to war, tenfold As they did for us in the past, for them we must fight Together, we can save them from this plight

Winter fire safety advice

SIR WILLIAM HUDSON

MEMORIAL CENTRE AGED CARE FACILITY

Have you noticed that in one of our dining rooms our residents were being served their meals on blue plates, with red placemats and white table cloths, while in the other dining room the plates were white, and there were no table cloths?

Our director of Nursing, Debbie Payne, has recently returned from presenting a paper in Melbourne that explains exactly why this has happened. Our residents have all been a part of a study to see if the colour of the plates affected the amount of food eaten. Before each meal the plated food was weighed before service and again after the residents had finished their meals.

The three different colours made it easier for the varieties of foods on each plate to be seen and more easily recognised, which resulted in more food being enjoyed from the blue plates than were eaten from the control groups using the white plates. Both dining rooms are now enjoying the combination of the tablecloths, coloured placemats and plates. Studies such as this are an important tool in ensuring that every possible opportunity is explored in giving all residents in care the best opportunities, our wonderful staff and DON are to be complimented on undertaking the extra work involved to be in the study.

Representatives from the Australian Electoral Commission will be at SWHMC on 28th June between 2 and 4pm for residents to vote for the upcoming Federal election.

Our much loved cook Greg can be seen most afternoons battling out a fierce game of table tennis with Michael in the recreation room.

The games are always taken very seriously as both these guys are super competitive.

If you would like to have a game at any time I am sure Michael would give you a run for your money.

SWHMC’s next residents meeting is will be held on Thursday 23rd June in the Lounge, if you have a friend or a family member that is a resident please feel free to attend and become more involved in home. We are always encouraging members of our community to become commitee members of SWHMC. There are no jobs involved, BUT you do then have the ability to be able to vote at the AGM and have a say in who is voted onto the Board of Directors.

Application forms are available at reception.

Winter risks fuel fire safety message Winter is a timely reminder for fire safety as the risk of house fire increases as we use dangerous equipment to keep warm during the cold months.

Heaters, electric blankets and candles are more often used in winter, and the safe use of this equipment is vital to prevent them from starting fires.

We’re also home more often in winter too, rather than going out and enjoying the outdoors.

Therefore it is not surprising that most fatalities in house fires unfortunately occur in winter.

To make matters worse, today we are living and sleeping in homes that are full of petrol.

May and September.

“A lot of people seem to adopt the ‘it won’t happen to me’ attitude. The fact is it can. We urge you not to be complacent this winter – assess risks and take the precautions needed to prevent a fire.”

Captain Reeks says with people staying indoors more during winter, there are many more people cooking in the kitchens. Around 50 percent of residential fires are started in the kitchen, so it is important to ‘keep looking when cooking’.

Smoke alarms more essential than ever Smoke alarms are still the easiest and cheapest way to give you early warning of the presence of a fire in your home. Not just essential, they’re a legal requirement in Australian residential buildings due to legislation.

However only working smoke alarms can warn you of a fire. If you forgot to replace your smoke alarm battery at the end of daylight saving recently (or April Fools’ Day in Queensland and Western Australia), this is another reminder.

Also give your smoke alarms a clean with a vacuum cleaner, wipe its case, press the test button to make sure it works, and spray around the alarm with a surface spray to prevent spiders and insects from interfering.

If you only have one smoke alarm, you certainly need more.

Basic recommendations are that smoke alarms be installed in common areas including lounge rooms and connecting areas of sleeping zones like hallways. At least one per floor of your home is a bare minimum.

But if you sleep with your door closed, you may not hear the alarm, and if the fire is in your bedroom the smoke may not even reach it.

These real risks mean you should have protection from smoke alarms in every bedroom, and ideally all interconnected so when one alarm detects smoke, they all activate together to make sure you are notified at the other end of the house or behind closed doors.

Most importantly, however, ensure all your smoke alarms are the photoelectric type.

House fires typically smoulder before bursting into flames, and it is whilst this smouldering occurs that photoelectric smoke alarms detect this smoke first.

Ionisation type alarms react to flaming fires which happens after they have smouldered before bursting into flames. They are also very susceptible to false alarms caused by cooking, which often leads to their batteries being taken out to silence them and not put back in again.

When this happens, that deactivated smoke alarm is just useless plastic on your ceiling and can’t help save your life when it needs to.

Practicing an escape plan with your family in the event of the smoke alarm going off and in the event of a fire is also a good way to ensure you are prepared for this winter. NSW Fire and Rescue recommends identifying at least two exits out of every room. Practicing the plan is a key way to protect your family in the event of a fire.

Petrochemicals add fuel to the fire Modern furnishings are made from petrochemicals, like polyurethane foam, plastics and synthetic materials. In a fire, your furnishings now ignite more easily, burn more quickly, and fuel the fire to grow and spread rapidly.

Flashover is when a fire burns and takes hold of a room. Everything is on fire, the room is full of toxic smoke, and the time to escape is nearly spent.

Forty years ago when furnishings were made from natural materials, fires could smoulder or burn at a small scale for a good 15-20 minutes before flashover occurred, giving you plenty of time to hear the smoke alarm and evacuate.

Today, flashover in a bedroom can take place in just two to three minutes, fuelled by petrochemicals.

Cooma’s Fire and Rescue Station Commander Captain Chris Reeks says it is important to be vigilant and to use common sense.

“Over the years we’ve had a few cases of people leaving their electric blankets on during the day.

This has led to the bedding catching alight and causing significant damage to homes,” he says, “It’s important to check that your electric blanket is not faulty either.”

“It’s not only furnishings that are made from synthetic materials, but our clothes too,” says Captain Reeks, “If you are drying your clothes near a heater, make sure to have them at least one metre away. Young kids in synthetic pyjamas sitting near heaters must also be watched carefully.”

Fire safety has never been so important in our homes. Add winter fire risks and we really need to pay attention to the warnings.

Another tip Captain Reeks has is to make sure your heater and flu is clean.

“This really should be done prior to winter,” he says, “Soot and ash build up in a flu can ignite and the fire can spread into the ceiling where it can be hard to notice until it’s too late.”

Cleaning the lint filters in clothes dryers after every use is also recommended to prevent a house fire.

“If you have an open fire or a slow combustion heater in your home, make sure to have the door closed and a fire guard in place.”

Mr Reeks says it is also important not to overload powerpoints, causing them to short out and start an electrical fire.

Mr Reeks says that according to NSW Fire and Rescue, 60 percent of home fires occur between nsw.gov.au or www.family-first.com.au

Nuffield scholar says sheep meat and wool industry could be even brighter through research The sheep meat and wool industry is Victoria’s third largest agricultural industry by value, but 2014 Nuffield Scholar Tim Gubbins believes the future of this important industry could be even brighter with a greater focus on reproductive potential.

The Darlington farm manager is responsible for a sheep flock consisting of 10,000 composite ewes.

The operation also includes a winter grazed area of approximately 2,100 hectares, as well as an annual cropping program of around 600 hectares.

Lamb losses within operations he has overseen prompted him to look into how he could capture maximum reproductive potential in the stages of lamb conception through to weaning.

“Last year we conceived 10,000 embryos, and if we go really well we will potentially only lose 2,500 to 3,000 of them, which will cost our business between $50,000 and $80,000,” Mr Gubbins said.

“This reveals an incredible amount of wastage not only in our business but nationally, where up to 15 million lambs die each year, costing the industry around $56 million.”

Tim Gubbins’ Nuffield Scholarship, supported by Australian Wool Innovation Limited, allowed him to study the reproductive potential of sheep, with a focus on Merinos, from

conception through to weaning.

His recently released report details his learnings from the two-year scholarship, which included travel to New Zealand, the UK, Ireland and Uruguay.

Mr Gubbins said that during his travels, he found lamb losses are a concern for farmers worldwide, not only from a production point of view, but also as a major animal welfare issue.

“I found there were a number of global consistencies such as traditional markets, influential breed societies and abortion-causing diseases,” he said.

“Even our systems are not so dissimilar, with indoor winter lambing systems in the UK aiming to preserve paddock feed versus our summer/autumn containment systems designed to preserve paddock feed for winter lambing.

“In New Zealand, I found that there is a large degree of importance placed on matching mob size to paddock size at lambing, which has a large bearing on lamb survival outcomes.

“Additionally, I learned about reproductive efficiency in the UK, where ewes are able to wean close to their body weight in lamb.”

Mr Gubbins said that the top 10 per cent of New Zealand dairy farmers utilise 90 per cent of their grass, representing the importance of pasture utilisation to

livestock production.

“Pasture utilisation, along with other considerations such as achieving target birthweights, setting breeding values, pregnancy scanning and ensuring ewes are fit and not fat, are methods of maximising profitability within sheep production operations,” he said.

“When managed well, sheep can play a very important role within a mixed enterprise through their ability to mitigate the potential downside risk of any single enterprise such as cropping.”

Mr Gubbins has used his global discoveries to make some positive changes at home on the farm, including condition scoring at weaning and pregnancy testing, pasture measurement and purchasing rams with ASBVs (Australian Sheep Breeding Values) to track genetics.

“Whilst currently I am working with composites, I believe the Merino can be the most profitable sheep in Australia in any system, and thanks to my Nuffield Scholarship I aim to drive this belief into reality.”

Nuffield Australia provides opportunities to Australian primary producers and managers to travel the globe investigating a research topic important to them and Australian agriculture.

Scholars are provided with a $30,000 bursary to embark on a 16-week program consisting of both

NFF releases mid-campaign â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Scorecardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;: All have room to improve The National Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation (NFF) has today released its anticipated â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mid-Campaign Election Scorecardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to reveal clear room for further agricultural announcements and policy improvements in the weeks before Australia votes on 2 July.

Reported using a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;star systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the Scorecard is judged by overlaying the agricultural commitments announced within the campaign thus far against the five â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Policy Priority Areasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of the NFF. This incarnation of the card is an interim report designed to indicate to each of the parties, mid-way through the campaign, how their policies line up with what Australian agriculture needs to thrive.

These include: â&#x20AC;˘ Building a Stronger Workforce; â&#x20AC;˘ Supercharging Farm Business; â&#x20AC;˘ Leading the Global Marketplace; â&#x20AC;˘ Investing in Innovation and Technology; and â&#x20AC;˘ Balancing Farming and the Environment.

Each of these policy areas is underpinned by specific asks which each party was invited to formally respond to so as to further assist in arriving at the overall ratings.

NFF President Brent Finlay said while there had been some promising

commitments made over the course of the last four weeks, farmers across the country were looking to the Coalition, Labor and The Greens to back up rhetoric with policy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this stage in the campaign we have seen some good policies relating to strengthening our position in the global marketplace but there remains plenty of work to be done,â&#x20AC;? Mr Finlay said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is particularly in the areas of building a stronger agricultural workforce, balancing food and fibre production with the environment and making sure that rural and regional Australians are adequately connected through the internet and mobile coverage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are aware there are further agricultural announcements to come but this first Scorecard allows us to give an indication of how parties are progressing so far and where improvement is needed before Australia goes to the polls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will continue to reiterate to all candidates that agriculture is poised to be Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next $100 billion industry but for the sector to perform to the best of its ability, to drive jobs and growth and to deliver to the national economy, we need the right policies in place.â&#x20AC;?

Fencing part of EOFY review

With June 30 looming, many farmers will be reviewing their machinery, equipment and maintenance requirements for the next 12 months, in light of their tax position.

This is always a good time to consider the timing of purchases, as there can be benefits in buying before the end of the financial year if it means lowering your tax burden and being able to make immediate claims on depreciable items.

Waratah National Sales Manager Ross Lourie says thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new consideration this year, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fencing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Replacing and even maintaining fences doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always make it onto the priority list for farmers, despite the benefits a strong and durable fence can make to productivity and profitability,â&#x20AC;? Mr Lourie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, accelerated depreciation measures introduced by the Coalition in May last year may change the equation for some. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Primary producers who purchase fencing products in the current

financial year can claim taxable deductions on the full cost of these assets immediately, instead of being tracked over their effective life (currently up to 30 years).â&#x20AC;?

The initiative was brought in by the federal government to assist primary producers with cash flow and drought preparedness, and also to encourage investment in productivity enhancing assets.

Mr Lourie said the new tax breaks will help with cash flow and could bring forward fencing plans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This time of year farmers also have the chance to take advantage of Waratahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cashback deal when purchasing certain products, maximising their return.â&#x20AC;?

To be eligible for cashback people must purchase Waratahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s posts and/ or wire between May 16 and June 30.

NSW farmers sheep meat committee on live exports

By Ian Cargill, Chair NSW Farmers Sheep Meat committee The NSW Farmers’ Association has today rejected suggestions from the Meat Workers’ Union to close down Australia’s highly valuable live export sector.

The Union had called for Minister for Agriculture Barnaby Joyce to allocate a quota for local beef supply, which would irreparably damage competition in the domestic beef trade and harm relationships with Australia’s key trading partners.

This is suspect behaviour and it reeks of political opportunism in the context of an election that has previously been targeted at the New England electorate. We call on each candidate in the New England electorate to explain where they stand on this union-led campaign.

The approach of the Union would damage the viability and long-term sustainability of Australia’s livestock industries that rely on valuable export markets to secure income and support regional and remote populations facing challenging conditions.

Ending the live trade would drive down farmgate returns and cripple rural communities.

Domestic reserve policies just don’t make economic sense. They represent an unnecessary market intervention on an already highly-regulated sector without delivering any benefit, as there is no shortage of domestic supply to consumers. We don’t have the infrastructure capacity to process extra stock for the domestic market, and we

don’t have the demand for that extra meat.

Minister Joyce has done an excellent job in opening new international markets for our important live export sector, delivering critical income back to our hard-working livestock industries. We know that the live trade boosts regional economies, improves land values, contributes over $1 billion to Australia’s economy and employs more than 13,000 rural and remote Australians.

Australia is the world’s largest exporter of livestock and our live export industry is in a unique position to meet the preferences of our trading partners. The industry has invested heavily in breeding animals to cater to the specific needs of export markets, and a number of these markets are not in a position

Farmland values growing NSW farmland value records more than 10 per cent growth in 2015 New South Wales farmland has continued to record growth in value, with the median price increasing by 10.2 per cent in 2015, according to Rural Bank’s inaugural Australian Farmland Values report.

Released today, the new report features a comprehensive analysis of Australian farmland property values and key national, state and regional trends.

The report tracks the median price of NSW agricultural land over the past 20 years and shows that the median price of the state’s farmland has increased on average by 6.1 per cent per annum since 1995.

The median price increase has been recorded alongside a rise in the average number of farmland transactions per year in the past three years, reaching more than 3,800 transactions in 2015. In that year alone, 1.8 million hectares of farmland was traded at a total value of approximately $2.92 billion.

The new report has been produced by Rural Bank’s specialist market insights division Ag Answers and is based on real farm sales since 1995.

The report analysis draws on more than 220,000 transactions across Australia, accounting for 264 million hectares of land with a combined value of $124 billion.

Rural Bank Regional Manager Agribusiness for New South Wales, John Ellwood, said the report’s findings confirm how the value of the state’s farmland is actually tracking.

“This report provides farmers with insights into one of their key assets and how well that asset is holding its value in the context of the market as a whole,” Mr Ellwood said.

“The strength in the value of this key asset over the long term provides good reason for farmers in New South Wales to be optimistic about the future value of their land, especially when measured against national trends.”

“Of all the states, the median farmland price in New South Wales has demonstrated the

most consistent growth over the past 20 years,” Mr Ellwood said.

Mr Ellwood said that it was difficult to pinpoint any one reason for the continued growth in farmland values across the state but the analysis showed resilience in farmland value despite the inevitable cycles of agriculture across regions and industries.

“Land values are influenced by the level of multi-industry opportunity, which adds competition to the market place, therefore aiding positive growth in the median price,” Mr Ellwood said.

“Climate and commodity prices are also factors in determining whether a property is placed on the market and how much it sells for. Land values in New South Wales were resilient even during the challenging seasons experienced in the mid2000s and they appear to be continuing to go from strength to strength.”

to buy processed meat from Australia. The live trade secures a supply of protein for growing populations that don’t have the resources to produce enough livestock to meet their own dietary needs.

The Union has demonstrated that it doesn’t support Australians who provide valuable protein to communities struggling with food security.

NSW Farmers believes that it is important for domestic processing and live export to continue to complement each other.

At the end of the day, our livestock producers should be able to decide where to send their stock to maximise the returns to their own businesses.

Cooma cattle sale Cooma Associated Agents yarded 185 Scales and 350 Stores at last week’s sale.

Scale cattle consisted mainly of cows and a few yearling steers and heifers.

Cows sold to $2.35p/kg for heavy weights with lighter cows selling to $2.20p/kg with several processors chasing the leaner grades.

Feedlot steers sold to $3.28p/ kg with an order from Hay keen for numbers. There was very few trade cattle yarded.

The store yarding was made up

of weaner cattle with a few lots of PTIC cows that sold to $1280.

Weaner cattle sold very well with local, South Coast and Queanbeyan buyers all keen for numbers after the recent rain.

Steer weaners topped at $945 with penned lots of younger weaners making $800 to $900.

The heifer weaners were made of lighter and younger pens that sold to $755.

The next cattle sale is on Thursday July 7.

New phone app to help bee keepers monitor hives A smart phone application to help beekeepers identify pests in their hives is part of a suite of digital tools being developed to improve the biosecurity capability of the industry.

The project will also see a review and re-design of the BeeAware website, an online biosecurity training course, and an annual survey of beekeepers conducted to help provide statistics on the industry’s value and understanding of bee health.

It’s being led by Plant Health Australia (PHA) under the Honey Bee and Pollination R&D Program, which is a partnership between the Rural Industries Research and Development

Corporation (RIRDC), Horticulture Beekeeper and spokesman for Innovation Australia Limited (Hort the Program, Ben Hooper says Innovation) and the Australian the project will continue to build Government. on recent initiatives to ensure the industry moves toward best practice. “The development of the BeeAware website ( w w w. b e e a w a r e . o r g . a u ) has provided a central point for beekeepers to access information about biosecurity, and both endemic and exotic pests and diseases that affect the industry,” Mr Hooper said.

“The new funding will help to improve the content and functionality of BeeAware, including new pages for the Biosecurity Code of Practice and the National Bee Biosecurity Program.

“Mandatory and regular training is part of the Code for commercial beekeepers, and the project will also see

the development of a new free, online biosecurity course which it’s hoped hobby beekeepers will also undertake.”

Mr Hooper said the development of a BeeAware Pest ID App will provide another important tool.

“It will include a decision tree which newer beekeepers and those not familiar with some of the pests that can affect their hives will be able to work through to determine exactly what they’re dealing with.

“This will lead to a page providing information on ways of managing that pest – which more experienced beekeepers will be able to skip straight to if they want.

“Contact details will also be provided for Bee Biosecurity Officers employed in each state to support beekeepers, along with

a reminder to report discoveries to the Exotic Plant Pest Hotline (1800 084 881).

“The app will be particularly important to help beekeepers identify pests that are not already in Australia, such as the Varroa mite which has devastated most other honey-producing countries around the world.”

Survey asks Young Farmers about Applications open to top their agricultural business goals ag innovation summit Young Farmers have a unique opportunity to have their say on achieving their agricultural business goals by completing a survey before June 30, which will be used to develop a business information hub as part of the Young Farmer Business Project initiative.

The Young Farmer Business Project is a joint initiative between the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI), NSW Young Farmers Council and NSW Farmers Association, which aims to increase the number of young people in agriculture across NSW. As part of the initiative, an information hub is being developed to provide business support resources using digital platforms that meet the needs of our younger generation of farmers.

DPIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Young Farmer Project Officer, James Leigo, urged

farmers aged between 18 to 35 years to complete the survey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The survey now available online is an opportunity for young farmers to tell us what barriers they are experiencing and the support they need to make a career in agriculture,â&#x20AC;? Mr Leigo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Young people are telling me they want a profitable and happy life in agriculture, and that they are willing to consider new models and opportunities to achieve this success.â&#x20AC;?

Options are currently being investigated by the Working Group to help young people access the knowledge and information they need through the channels they use, in a format that they can understand.

The Working Group Chair, Tim Carroll, said too many decisions can be made without asking people first.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want young people to tell us what they want and what their barriers are, which is why this survey is so important,â&#x20AC;? Mr Carroll said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By hearing from young people with agricultural aspirations, we will be able to better deliver what young people need. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that young people get behind this project to help make it a success.â&#x20AC;?

The survey is available to young farmers in NSW aged 18-35 years who have until Thursday 30 June 2016 to complete it.

Need for certainty on tax The NFF has reaffirmed its call for certainty on the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;backpacker taxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; following confusion surrounding its start date based on misinformation published on the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) website.

The ABC reported that, as late as Thursday, the ATO site said the controversial tax would come into effect from 1 July, despite the Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six-month delay of the tax, pending a review of the measure.

Since then, the ATO has sought to clarify this error, stating on its website that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the continuation of this measure and, if it does proceed, how it will be implemented, will be a matter for the incoming government to decide. â&#x20AC;? The website also advises: â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the 2015-16 Federal Budget, the government announced that it will change the tax residency rules for most people who are temporarily in Australia for a working holiday. These people will be treated as non-residents for tax purposes, regardless of how long they are here. They will not be able to access the tax-free threshold and will be taxed at the second marginal rate (currently 32.5%) from their first dollar of income up to $80,000.â&#x20AC;?

National Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation President, Brent Finlay, said the ATOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mistake was a timely

reminder of the havoc being created by the ongoing uncertainty embroiling the tax. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farmers are doing everything they can to attract enough workers while coming to terms with a Government response to the outrage generated by this tax which still leaves them without any clarity as to how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find the workforce they need into the future,â&#x20AC;? Mr Finlay said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that the Government agency responsible for administering the tax doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on is cause for concern. The announcement of the six-month delay was made more than three weeks ago and yet the ATO call centre was advising that changes would apply from 1 July. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Depending on what happens on election night, farmers will face either a wide ranging review in a very short time frame, or some kind of unspecified sit down with politicians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever comes of this, the only certainty we do have is that it will be too little, too late for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harvest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We reiterate our call to all parties to demonstrate that you are listening to rural Australia and that the backpacker tax will be scrapped if you are elected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This uncertainty cannot continue.â&#x20AC;?

Bombala primary students sure can talk the talk

The ten primary student competitors and their school principals with the Bombala Rotary Club.

Students from across the Bombala districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary schools participated in the Primary Principalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Public Speaking evening last Thursday, with an audience of over 50 family, friends, teachers and supporters in attendance.

As has become expected, all ten competitors presented excellent speeches on topics ranging from personal life histories, refugees and shoeing horses, through to the question of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is it Black or White?â&#x20AC;?.

The adjudicators had an extremely difficult task choosing a winner, and the combined Principals of the schools an equal challenge selecting the recipient of the Encouragement Award.

In the end, the overall winner was Zara Badewitz of the Bombala Public

School who spoke on the topic of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Popâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, while the Encouragement Award was presented to Jayda Ford, also from Bombala Public, who spoke on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Idioms and Sayingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

The Rotary Club of Bombala once again supported and sponsored the evening, with special thanks being extended to Michael Dyer, Dick Cross and Grantley Ingram as the three brave and capable adjudicators.

Thanks also to MC for the evening, Rob Letts, and to the Bombala High School P&C for an excellent supper.

Congratulations to all speakers on their outstanding performances and their ability to engage and entertain the audience.

Cooma Public gets hands on for Reconciliation Week To acknowledge National Sorry Day and in celebration of Reconciliation Week, students of Cooma Public School spent some time discussing and learning about the importance of Indigenous culture.

Bringing together years 1, 5, 6 and the special needs class, Cooma Public teachers spread a message of acceptance and understanding. Following some recent professional learning attended by some of the teachers, a Reconciliation Action Plan has been developed to promote across the entire

school during not only Reconciliation Week, but the whole year.

Students read a book by Kerri Hashmi and Felicity Marshall called You and Me Murrawee. The story draws parallels and differences between the lives of past Indigenous children and children of today.

Another part of the celebration was decorating some timber hands with symbols the students identify with Indigenous culture. These hands have been placed underneath the Aboriginal flag at the front of the school.

ADVERTORIAL

Wednesday June 15, 2016

SMGS inspires and engages local students with new programs Snowy Mountains Grammar School understands that the key to academic performance is the engagement and inspiration of students.

That is why, this year, the school has introduced its Academies of Excellence program.

The program runs in addition to the standard curriculum and offers students the opportunity to choose from a wide selection of elective choices.

They can stay with one area of study for the year or choose different subjects each term.

Principal Andrew Bell says “Research demonstrates that students across the globe are disengaging from learning and school. At SMGS, we are heading in the opposite direction and engaging students in areas where they love to learn”.

Students are currently engaged in a wide variety of programs, covering subjects as diverse as early childhood studies, digital media, engineering and innovation and design. There are a large number of arts focussed programs and specific academies for mountain-biking, aviation, equestrian and elite snow-sports performance.

Senior student Abby Mifsud is participating in the early childhood studies.

She says “I love the Academies program!

It gives me the opportunity to extend my

learning in an area of specific interest to me. I am going to study early childhood teaching at University and the program has allowed me to explore this interest before making that commitment. The program is delivered by a qualified early childhood teacher and she has really inspired me.

This is my favourite part of the week.

Director of Curriculum and Academic

Development, Dr Michael Barton says: “In giving students a wide range of choices and interesting projects to participate in, we have found that academic engagement increases enormously.

This increased engagement overflows into every classroom and not just the Academies. We continually strive to find ways to inspire and encourage our students and are delighted

with their update of and engagement in this program.

Another exciting new initiative in 2016 is the Elite Snow-sports Academy (ESA) which provides curriculum based academic support for students involved in intensive snow sports training and competition both in Australia and overseas.

Tim Bland, ESA Coordinator and Head of Sports at SMGS said “A large number of senior students engage in high intensity snow-sports training every winter. Until now, their academic progress has been impaired due to the amount of time missed from the classroom. This program is specifically designed to address that issue by combining a full training schedule with a revised classroom schedule and additional tuition, ensuring participants can maintain their academic standing while pursuing their snow-sport’s dreams. Our program is unique in that students can still participate in their specific subject lessons with specialist teachers while training on snow”.

Other elements of the ESA program include transport to and from the snow, fitness training and mentoring sessions with professional snow-sports athletes.

“Needless to say”, Tim notes, “the program has proved very popular with our current parents and with visitors to the region”.

The Monaro Community Merit Scholarship – 100% Scholarship to SMGS Snowy Mountains Grammar School (SMGS) is offering a 100% merit scholarship for a local Monaro student.

Applicants will be currently attending school in, or will live in, the Monaro, and be able to attend SMGS as a day student from the beginning of Term 3, 2016.

The selection criteria are: − Be studying in Years 7-11 − Demonstrated excellence in an area of merit (such as sports or musical performance) − Consistent academic performance The successful applicant will receive a 100% full time tuition scholarship to SMGS for the life of their enrolment.

Applications are now open and close on Friday 17th June, 2016.

For full criteria, conditions and further information on how to make an application, please visit our website at www.smgs.nsw.edu.au or contact: Joan Herringer, Registrar: joan.herringer@smgs.nsw.edu.au

Snowy Mountains Grammar School Equestrian Team excels at Expo Six secondary students from Snowy Mountains Grammar School have recently returned from the North-West Equestrian Expo Competition that is held annually at Coonabarabran. The competition is the largest interschools’ equestrian competition in NSW and this year was attended by over 550 students from schools in NSW, Victoria and Queensland.

Held over five days, the weather this year provided some huge challenges, with over 250ml of rain recorded, resulting in the cancellation of one day of competition and making conditions treacherous for riders and their horses. Safety was optimal and it was pleasing to see all riders adjusting their performances to the conditions, resulting in safe and exciting competition in all events.

The Snowy Mountains Grammar School team of Stefania Nitto, Choeli Cooper, Abby Mifsud, Lara Fairfield-Smith, Daniel Ternes-Dixon and Jessica Dickson were all very competitive, each achieving personal bests and winning or placing in some of their events. Stefania was selected to perform with six other riders in the Freestyle Dressage (dressage to

music), a demonstration event for this year, whilst the Year 7 competitors each performed exceptionally well in their first year at the event.

The riders had been training for months leading up to this competition under the watchful eyes of coaches Sarah Dreverman and Gidge FairfieldSmith. The school equestrian squad meets twice weekly for instruction in riding, jumping, dressage and stockhorse disciplines, and extra specialist sessions are held in preparation for major events. The team travelled with their coach and spent allocated hours doing schoolwork as well as caring for their horses. Trips such as this provide wonderful opportunities for the students to work together as a team and to bond with each other and with their horses. This year it was great to have two ex-students also travel with the team to assist the younger riders and pass on valuable experience from times past.

The 2015/16 Equestrian season at Snowy Mountains Grammar will conclude with the annual Presentation Dinner, to be held on Thursday 23rd June.

Starting the snow season with a shopping spree The annual Snow Sports Sale did not disappoint on the weekend, with up to 1,800 people searching through the goods for a bargain. About 12 to 14 shops were selling their sale items and the other almost 200 sellers had new and used items up for grabs.

Organiser Ursula Berchtold has been

running the sale for 25 years.

“I really wanted to give parents the opportunity to turnover their old gear,” she said, “The kids grow out of their stuff so quickly, and this sale offers new stuff for them at a reasonable price.”

The sale began at 9am each day, with people lining up from 7am on the Saturday

morning. When they finally opened the doors, the line had built up to stretch all the way round from the side door of the Jindabyne Memorial Hall to Serge’s Café.

A gold coin donation is required for entry to the sale, which along with 20% of the profits, will go to Action Sports Training at the Jindabyne Sport and Recreation

Centre. The money goes towards new gear, maintenance and payment of coaches, as well as the hiring of the Memorial Hall and advertising for the sale.

The highly anticipated Snow Sports Sale had heaps of clothing, boots, skis and boards up for grabs.

It was a ‘Long Ride’ JUDY JAMIESON On Thursday April 7, a group from Cooma set out on the ‘2016 Long Ride’ to Margaret River WA, in aid of Prostate Cancer.

The Cooma group, which was part of a larger bunch from Canberra, consisted of Phil and Judy Jamieson; Kaye and Col Stopp; Chris Johnson and Mauro Cesarin.

Phil, Col, Chris and Ces rode their motor bikes, while Judy and Kaye followed along behind in Judy’s little Hyundai i30.

Riders came from all over Australia and joined in at various points along the way.

We met the Canberra guys and gals in Gundagai; mainly so the boys could enjoy some good hills before heading towards the long straights of the Hay plains and the Nullarbor!

A large contingent of the riders are members of the Australian Defence Force; either permanent or reserve members, so our first official function was a barbecue lunch at RAAF Base Wagga, where we were joined by Chief of Defence, Mark Binskin, along with Chief of Air Force and various other Defence dignitaries.

Our first night was in Hay/Balranald; with following night stop overs at Broken Hill; Port Augusta; Ceduna; Border Village; Balladonia; Albany and Esperance before the mass group ride into Margaret River where our own Suzie Johnson had flown in to join us. Celebrations followed the mass ride with a ‘bush dance’ – where jeans, boots and check shirts were the dress of the day, so we felt very much at home.

Some of us enjoyed the traditional square dances to the music of “MuckyDuck” bush band who were terrific.

With the formalities of the Long Ride over, we said our good byes to the other riders, some of whom we had formed friendships with along the way, and will no doubt keep in touch. Phil caught up with a few of the guys that he had met on the 2008 (Perth) and 2010 (Darwin) rides, and Chris renewed friendships he had made on the Darwin ride. Kaye and Col met up with friends they had made on the 2014 Uluru ride.

We enjoyed a three day break in Margaret River where we explored the region checking out the beach that had just hosted the surf championships. We also had a fantastic day out on a wine tour with Bush Tucker Tours; sampling some of the regions wares.

Whilst in Margaret River we met up with Judy’s sister Denise, an old Cooma girl, who was on her travels to the west and back. We also had the pleasure of meeting up with some other ex Cooma folk, Jo and Craig Moxon, who just happened to be visiting with Jo’s sisters from Perth.

From Margaret River we made our way up the coast to Fremantle, for a couple of nights. Here we checked out the Little Creatures Brewery (of course we sampled their wares too!); Cappuccino Strip and the various museums. Kaye and Col were game enough to dip their toes in the Indian Ocean, and Col was excited to see the sun set in the west. Chris also met up with his aunty who now lives in Fremantle.

Back on the road we headed towards Kalgoorlie, stopping the night at Coolgardie on the way. In Kalgoorlie we checked out the Super Pit – that pretty amazing ‘hole in the ground’.

First stop over on the Nullarbor was at Fraser Range Station, which is a working station.

Unfortunately we did not get to see any stock, other than a flock of emus.

From here we headed to Eucla for a night where we checked out the ruins of the old Telegraph Station. Then it was on to Streaky Bay, on the coast east of Ceduna.

We had heard that it was a beautiful place, but it does have to be seen to be believed. We enjoyed two beautiful days here checking out the

sights and resting up.

We attended the Dawn Service on Anzac Day at Streaky Bay – the service on the water’s edge was a very thought provoking setting for reflecting on the boats making for the shore on that first Anzac morning.

Our next stop over was in Port Augusta and some new tyres for Col’s bike as he had been nursing a repaired stone puncture since Fraser Range.

Then it was on to Mildura for a night before heading back across the Hay Plain to Narrandera for our last night on the road.

Again the boys were keen to head for the hills from Adelong back through Kiandra and home to Cooma, arriving mid afternoon on Friday 29th April – 22 days and 8468 kilometres later. We had a fantastic time; and may even do it again!

The ride raised $380,000; with around 460 bikes and

riders / pillions and various support vehicles participating – all in an effort to raise awareness of/ and funds for research into finding a cure for Prostate Cancer. Since the ride began in 2008, over $1,000,000 has been raised – a great effort! One guy came along on his wife’s 150cc scooter, travelling at no more than 100 klms per hour; and dressed in a suit and tie!

He changed his tie each day, but his shirt and suit was well use your imagination.

Needless to say he drew a lot of attention. After a day’s rest, he turned around and headed home again; on the scooter!

Pictured top: enjoying the sights at Head of Bight.

societies, has been stocking trout dams and rivers in NSW for many years.

“During the 2015/16 season, around 2.9 million trout were stocked in NSW waterways, consisting of approximately 2 million Rainbow Trout, 630,000 Brown Trout, 150,000 Atlantic Salmon and 110,000 Brook Trout.”

NSW DPI Director of Fisheries Compliance, Patrick Tully, said it is an offence to fish in trout streams during the closed season and fisheries officers will also be patrolling waterways across the State to ensure that fishers are adhering to the closure.

“Fishers heading to one of the trout dams this winter are reminded that they are still required to have a current NSW recreational fishing licence receipt on them at all times while fishing,” Mr Tully said.

“A combined bag limit of five and a size limit of 25cm applies for trout or salmon in all trout dams except Thompsons Creek Dam and Black Lake where the bag limit is two.”

Detailed information on the fishing rules can be found at or in the 2016-17 NSW Freshwater Fishing Guide which is available in hard copy from DPI Fisheries offices and most bait and tackle stores.

Winter trout closures begin Anglers looking to catch a trout are reminded that the June long weekend is their last opportunity in designated streams and rivers across NSW, before the fishing season closes in these waters over winter.

NSW Department of Primary Industries’ (DPI) Inland Senior Fisheries Manager, Cameron Westaway, said the annual closure will start on Tuesday 14 June and re-open in time for the October long weekend on Saturday 1 October 2016.

“This closure allows brown, rainbow and brook trout to breed uninterrupted during their annual spawning run, while also allowing trout fishers to fish during both the June and October long weekends,” Mr Westaway said.

Anglers can continue fishing for trout during the annual closure, without breaking the rules, at any of the trout dams across the State that have been stocked as part of the NSW DPI fish stocking program.

“Popular winter fishing spots include Lakes Jindabyne and Eucumbene, Oberon Dam near Bathurst, Tantangara and Talbingo Dams near Tumut and Lake Wallace and Thompson’s Creek Dam near Lithgow.

Old boys return for the Stallions Heritage Day Match

Old rugby league rivals Cooma and Bombala will meet each other at Cooma Showground on July 2 in a heritage day match.

Both teams will don jumpers of yesteryear – in the Stallions case, the orange and white numbers of the 1970s.

In part, the day will celebrate the Stallions’ first ever premiership – that of the 1975 reserve grade team coached by Herman Bryuns.

The club has invited Herman back for the day to present jumpers to the present-

day players. There is an open invitation to all former Cooma (and Bombala) players to attend the afternoon and relive football memories.

The matches start with the ladies Austag at 1.30pm, followed by the reserves at 2.30.

The first grade match will begin at 4pm.

The usual refreshments and hospitality will be available throughout the afternoon.

Pictured, the 1975 Cooma United ‘Herman Heroes’ reserve grade premiers and the 1975 juniors wearing the jumpers.

The Bill Elder Shield underway The first round of the Bill Elder Shield got off to a wintery start last Wednesday with just 18 players, with big wins being the order of the day.

Allan Crowe, Sergio Roncelli and Paul Cannell scored five shots on the first end against Mike Mannile, Russell Fox and Hazel Walker and quickly raced to a 15/3 lead. Shots were shared from then on with Allan, Sergio and Paul winning 22/10. Olga Jebbink, Max Butler and Leonie Snell were pressed all the way for 11 ends by Bob Lahy, Mick Mayhew and Renate Winckel to lead 10/8. From that point on it was Olga, Max and Leonie who dominated in winning seven of the last nine ends to win 20/11.

Peter Harris, Colin Roberson and Geoff Venables outplayed Ron Gammon, Mary Phillips and Ron Wainwright in allowing them to only win three one shot ends and lead 12/3 on 11. The trend continued for the next nine ends with Peter, Colin and Geoff winning 25/10. Points gained will carry forward each month with the three highest point scorers after the November round having their names on the Shield.

In the Preliminary match in Minor Singles Ignazio Mondello and Steve Seears had a close battle for 10 ends with Steve holding an 8/6 lead. Eight of the next nine ends went to Steve for 14 shots to two and a 22/8 lead. Over the remaining ends Steve gained the necessary nine shots to win 31/12. He will now play Tony Gray next Saturday.

All the entrants in this event as previously published will also play on Saturday.

In social bowls Mary Phillips, Max Butler and Olga Jebbink went to an 8/2 lead over Sergio Roncelli, Renate Winckel and Cheryl Meillon.

Sergio, Renate and Cheryl then found the range and took the lead 10/9 on end 11 and went on to win 20/17. Helped by seven shots on end nine, Ken Rees, Mike Mannile and John Paine held a 23/12 lead on end 14 over Mario Frezza, Ron Wainwright and Geoff Venables but did not score again with Mario, Ron and Geoff earning 13 shots over the remaining six ends to win 25/23.

Twelve men made up two rinks of triples whilst the four ladies had a game of “Man Free” pairs and enjoyed it so much they continued on after the card ran out of space. Maureen D’Amico and Cheryl Meillon had a lot of practice writing ‘5’ as they were on that score for six ends against Renate Winckel and Olga Jebbink, who reached 18 at the same point. The final score a fairly reasonable 26/17 win to Renate and Olga. Jack Sajina, Mike Manniile and John Schoon just could not get going against Mark Buckley, Steve Lapham and Richard Nichols to trail 3/20 on 11. They were faring a little

better over the concluding ends but six shots to their opposition on 18 allowed Mark, Steve and Richard to win 35/14. Bob Lahy, Steve Seears and Geoff Venables won the first eight ends against Sandi Litchfield, Mario Frezza and Guilio D’Amico to lead 14/0. Gulio’s team outscored their opponents in the run home but went down 11/20.

Members of the Mens Bowling Club are asked to keep looking at the notice board as there will be some information about a meeting to discuss the, perhaps, controversial membership of the Royal NSW Bowling Association. It is most important that ALL Members, (whether Pennant or Social ) attend any meeting called to make a decision on this issue.

Please keep watching the board and the Monaro Post for further information.

The Annual General Meeting of the Cooma Mens Bowling Club is coming up on Sunday 31st July.

More information later.

Delegate PC Instruction Day Cooma Tigers U12s meet Canberra FC in Canberra

The handshake.

Last Saturday saw the Cooma Tigers take on the Canberra Football Club in Canberra.

The day was much more conducive to playing football however the team was slow in getting going and as a result found themselves on the defensive. While our players were defending well, especially Jessica, eventually Canberra broke through.

Despite the occasional attacking foray the Tigers struggled and having to push uphill, finished the first half down 3 – 0.

It was hoped that the second half playing downhill would mean that the team would make a comeback.

Delegate Pony Club held a special instruction day at the grounds last Sunday in preparation for a pony club assessment day in Cooma this weekend.

Finn and Koby tried their best with a number of forward moves with none creating success.

The Ryans also worked hard and most of the team were under pressure from continued pressure from the Canberra side.

Despite the efforts of Reuben, Jessica and Benson breaking down attacks time and again, the opposition were just too strong on the day with the Tigers going down 5 -0. The team is to be congratulated on their consistent effort to never give up and the high level of sportsmanship displayed by all members of the team.

Pictured above, riders take note of their instructor’s words.

Right: Chief instructor Sarah Woodhouse was on hand.

Riglet snowboarding in town A Sydney team from Burton Snowboarding was at Rhythm Snowsports over the long weekend, helping kids learn how to snowboard.

With their riglet boards, the team are able to pull the kids along using a retractable cord at the front of the board.

Aimed at kids aged three to six, this gives them a feel for the sport and helps them get their balance.

There were also some special boards without bindings that 18-month-old children could try out.

Many children had a go at the station set up outside Rhythm,

Above: Ryan.

Below: Koby.

Addy, seven, was keen to get on and have a go. with jumps and boxes to go over, making the course a little more dynamic and lots of fun. The aim of the exercise is to show the

kids and their parents that you don’t have to start out on skis to transition to snowboarding.

Cooma helps Ugandan kids Indie and Jack at the Nationals Ken and Pauline Lister are currently volunteering at the Bushfire Childrens Home near Jinja in Uganda, Africa.

There are 300 primary and 70 secondary students at the Bushfire School.

Many students board at the school because they do not have parents or their parents cannot care for them. Bushfire is led by Sam and Eva Kitalta.

Pauline has been visiting and helping at Bushfire each year for more than twelve years, primarily to teach.

This the first year Ken has visited since recently retired.

Over the years, the Cooma Community has been very generous in providing support directly to Bushfire.

Individual people, families, businesses, Clubs and the Cooma Baptist Church have been very generous in sponsoring children and projects as well as gifts.

This year, the Listers brought over soccer shirts from the Cooma Tigers Soccer Club, retired laptop computers from Snowy Hydro as well as financial gifts and letters from Cooma families.

This assistance from Cooma, as well as gifts from others, is gratefully appreciated since Bushfire receives no government assistance. Hence sincere thanks from the people at Bushfire to The Cooma Community for their kind and generous support.

Indie Dyball and Jack Kleven from Cooma Judo represented their club at the Australian National Championships in Geelong over the weekend.

Indie came away with a silver medal, missing out on the gold by just one point in the final, in a match up that could have gone either way.

After a busy weekend, Indie is happy to be home amongst her friends and is stoked at her performance.

She has big ambitions for the future with her sights set on one day competing in the sport at the highest level, the Olympic Games.

“Indie wants to go to the Olympics, that’s all that’s on her mind,” her mother Liza said.

Jack was unfortunate to miss out on the medal rounds but still competed very well against the best athletes in the country.

Just to make the National Championships is an accomplishment in itself and both athletes have been rewarded for their efforts.

Cooma Judo Coordinator John Kleven is impressed with how the athletes performed representing the Cooma club.

“It’s a big achievement for our little club.

Just to see the kids jumping up on the mat to have a fight is pretty brave and shows a lot of character,” he said.

Indie and Jack have both been competing for about two and a half years and have accomplished a lot in that time, both recently being awarded scholarships with the South East Regional Academy of Sport (SERAS).

Both athletes competed in the NSW State Titles, where Indie won a silver medal, and were selected to take part in the State Squad Camp in March.

Both Indie and Jack agree that Judo is “the best thing ever” because of the discipline and respect learnt, and the physical encounters that take place.

Judo has taken the young athletes all over the country and they both enjoy travelling to compete.

“I like the travelling. You get to go to heaps of different places,” Jack said.

Competition has seen them travel to Sydney, Melbourne, Cairns, Wollongong, Canberra and Geelong, where the Australian Championships took place.

Both athletes are very dedicated to the sport adhering to a strict training routine five days a week which includes cross fit, running and sparring.

“Both of them are very committed. They’re doing outside training and a lot of kids don’t do that. It’s a sign of wanting to win,” said Cooma Judo instructor Gary Cornish.

They have a great attitude and they’re very dedicated to the sport.”

Indie and Jack have both won a lot of competitions since starting the sport. They are both passionate about the sport, saying it is worth the training, and they are looking forward to more competitions in the future.

Formula F3 driver and Cooma local Christopher Anthony has put himself on the honour board at Winton Motor Raceway after breaking a 16-year-old lap record.

Anthony finished in second place to overall winner Tim Macrow after an issue with the clutch caused him to stall.

He fell back to fifth and worked his way back to second, describing his driving as angry and passionate.

“I got what’s called tunnel vision. I had one goal, to catch Tim,” he said.

In his first time racing at Winton, Anthony achieved the lap record of 1.14.3 twice, knocking two tenths off the previous record which was set by a bigger Formula Holden car with more downforce, more mechanical grip and more horse

power. Anthony had already raced through the qualifying round and three races, meaning the tyres were worn, making the achievement of the lap record even more spectacular.

Team leader Errol Gilmour is impressed with Anthony’s efforts and praised the skills of the 20 year old driver.

“The highlight of the weekend was breaking the lap record.

It’s a real testimony to Chris’s skill,” he said.

“He’s a very talented young driver. We have always been a family team and Chris has become a fourth son. We have a great working relationship.

Chris wants to make a career out of driving and Gilmour racing are helping Chris realise his dream.”

Gilmour racing has a second driver, a 15-year-old who

shows great promise, and Gilmour said the younger driver is privileged to have Anthony beside him.

The car was exhibited outside Cooma Betta Home Living yesterday and this is the first time an F3 car has been to Cooma, with Team Gilmour agreeing to stop over to showcase the car on their way back to Brisbane.

Anthony said he is appreciative of his sponsors, particularly team owner Mark Ward, and to all of the feedback he has received through Facebook and the media.

“I’m grateful to Team Gilmour for giving me a good car and to my sponsors for helping me and giving me money. Without them I couldn’t do it,” he said.
