Snow closed roads While the predicted winter ‘super storm’ didn’t eventuate last weekend, the ski resorts did receive a good dump of snow and the southern Monaro also saw enough snow fall to close both the Snowy Mountains and Monaro Highways. Pictured is the highway south of Nimmitabel early on Sunday afternoon and again on Monday morning. Local police are urging motorists to drive carefully and be mindful of the conditions. Snow is expected to fall to low atltiudes until the weekend.

LEATHER No man made material can compare with the natural beauty of genuine leather. nvestment While initially more expensive than fabric upholstery, leather is recognized to be a better investment over time. Leather has an average lifespan four times longer than that of fabric. Today’s active ctive lifestyles require a furniture cover that can meet the demands of daily use and look great for years to come. As a natural material, leather has the ability to breathe, be it cool in the summer, and nd warm in the winter.

Exciting new student facilities for hospital Senior Lecturer Rural Clinical School, Cooma campus, Dr Robert Wiles, is very excited that new medical student training facilities are to be provided in Cooma.

Last week it was announced Cooma hospital would be one of three hospitals in the South east region to share in

for a while. ‘We’re thrilled it’s going to happen, although it is a cutdown version of the original proposal. ‘Bega gets most of the money because it’s a new hospital under construction, but Cooma and Moruya will also benefit. ‘We had expected about $5million, but will

health students, which would see several different disciplines, eg physiotherapy, being studied as well as medicine.

The funding, originally awarded through the Australian Government’s Health and Hospitals Fund Regional Priority round, will support integrated and collaborative professional training opportunities for a range of health students.

The project will establish mediumscale training facilities on existing hospital sites, as well as student accommodation These facilities will provide clinical training opportunities for medical, nursing, midwifery and allied health students, which will support the rural and regional health workforce capacity in this area of NSW. The project also includes funding to construct and purchase accommodation for students and visiting clinical staff.

Dean of the University of Canberra’s Faculty of Health, Professor Diane Gibson, welcomed

the announcement, saying it would further training opportunities for students by providing valuable hands-on experience in rural and regional settings. “We are committed to serving the southern NSW region and this project allows us to build on this commitment. One in five students at the University of Canberra comes from rural and regional NSW – UC is very much a university of and for the region.�

Professor Gibson added that “the project will also support regional workforce development in the longer term as university-trained students who undergo a rural clinical placement are more likely to seek work in rural and regional areas after graduating.�

Professor Amanda Barnard, head of the ANU Medical School’s Rural Clinical School, said ANU is excited to be collaborating with the University of Canberra in this initiative. “The project will enhance the successful Rural Clinical School program at ANU, which

Big plans for busking festival Initiator and organiser of Cooma’s annual busking festival, Allan Spencer, has secured the trademark and right to the title.

The Australian National Busking Championships ™ is now safely the property of Cooma.

Mr Spencer said the busking festival, held in Cooma in November, has attracted a lot of interest, with festival organisers from interstate keen to see how it operates.

With the name now trademarked, the Cooma festival can safely grown into a truly national competition.

This year, the festival will be held as it has been for the last few years.

But from next year, it can grow and attract regional or state finalists to Cooma to the national championships.

This means festival organisers anywhere in Australian can hold their competitions and their winners can then compete at the national titles in Cooma.

As well as busking, Mr Spencer is looking to include other attractions to the festival.

These could include street art, puppetry, or similar attractions.

has provided medical student training in southeast NSW for 10 years, with a number of graduates returning to work as rural GPs and specialists.�

Assistant Minister for Health Fiona Nash said she was proud to see this sort of investment in rural doctor training. “Having health professionals train in rural areas greatly increases the likelihood of them practicing in rural areas once they’re qualified,� Minister Nash said. “As a rural NSW resident myself, I’m extremely pleased with this investment in southeast NSW.�

4 New state-of-theart helmets for Monaro firefighters

NEWS

Wednesday July 15, 2015

Monaro firefighters will receive new cuttingedge firefighting helmets with in-built radio technology and lighting to provide greater protection and clearer communications at emergencies, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro said today.

Mr Barilaro said the new “jet-style” helmets, to be used in structural fires, would provide firefighters with greater protection from heat and falling debris.

“In addition to the integrated communications system, the helmet includes other innovative features such as lighting and adjustable eye protection,” said Mr Barilaro.

“The in-built radio communications

equipment means that it will be easier for officers to hear each other at emergency scenes and to communicate about complex firefighting and rescue operations.”

Minister for Emergency Services David Elliott said NSW’s 6,800 firefighters deserve the best equipment when they are protecting people and property which is why the Liberals & Nationals Government invested $7 million in these new helmets.

Firefighters will be trained in the use of the new helmets.

Compliance checks for Snowy Mountains licensed venues The Office of Liquor, Gaming & Racing (OLGR) will conduct inspections of licensed venues across the Snowy Mountains region throughout the winter ski season to ensure they are complying with their licence conditions and the State’s liquor and gaming laws.

OLGR Director of Compliance and Enforcement Anthony Keon said licensed venue audits as well as overt and covert compliance checks will be conducted throughout the Snowy River Shire, with a focus on Jindabyne, Perisher and Thredbo.

“Between June and September each year there is an increased risk of alcohol-related harm in the Snowy River local government area coinciding with the peak ski season and the large seasonal influx of visitors and activity that it attracts,” Mr Keon said.

“OLGR will be conducting a targeted compliance operation during this period to

ensure that we have well-run licensed venues that can enhance the appeal of popular tourism destinations like the Snowy and be welcoming for all.”

Mr Keon said OLGR’s audits will focus on venue compliance with liquor and gaming legislation, with a particular emphasis on: • Patron behaviour and intoxication levels • Undesirable liquor promotions and activities • Compliance with licence conditions • Responsible service of alcohol (RSA) and responsible conduct of gambling (RCG) accreditation • Prevention of alcohol sales to minors. “Snowy Mountains licensed venues should expect to be inspected during this period and it is important that they regularly review their business practices and procedures to ensure they are compliant with legislative requirements,” Mr Keon said.

This time, the auxiliary has paid about $12,000 for a special lifter which will allow a single carer, or nurse to assist patients to stand, transfer and walk.

The lifter will be a boon to nursing staff and will improve care for patients as well.

The Sara Plus is an ergonomic standing and raising aid that mobilises patients during everyday activities such as transfers and toileting.

SMGS senior drama students show off their work Two months ago the Year 11 Drama students began to work on their production of “Pepperoni Apocalypse�. Devising characters and completing backstage roles, the students brought it all together last Wednesday night, when the students’ Term 2 assessment was brought to life on stage.

Convinced the apocalypse is upon them, four young American men lock themselves in an underground bunker, bracing themselves for the inevitable. Having discussed all of the ways mankind could possibly end, just as the end is nigh, there is a knock at the door. Nick Nanninga then stepped in, having only joined the Drama class a couple of weeks before the performance, adding a laughable twist to the plot as ‘The Pizza Guy’! As the confusion ensued, the characters turned against each other, only to face the wrath of the cops! In the biggest plot twist ever, Fritz (Will Doeberl) made an exciting revelation as his character turned out to be an undercover cop - taking down military fanatics Michael (Harry Stephenson), Jonah (Rory Maclean) and their leader, Terry (Aidan Pierlot). Short but sweet, this play was enjoyed by all in the audience.

After a brief intermission, the Year 12s presented their group and individual presentations that they have been preparing for their HSC practical examination next term. With witty dialogue

and larger than life characters, Georgia Alexander, Bellamie Hansen, Angie Kiekens, Seren Onur and Lucy Wiles explored the world of Disney’s princesses – on a reality TV show! Some Stage 5 Drama students then presented a rehearsed reading of Lucy Wiles’ HSC script, ‘Simply Living’: what would happen if the gods wiped out materialism? Following this, Seren, Bellamie and Georgia performed their monologues, covering the lives of those who crave attention, need to escape and can’t ask for help. Their roles were amusing, over-the-top and powerfully moving.

Drama teacher, Mrs Cath Batson, congratulated all the students involved, and thanked the staff members who helped with the set-up and staging on the night. She added “A special thank you to all the parents who continue to support their children during these trying, yet creative times in their senior years.�

Audit Committee

Recently, we held discussions with Yass Valley and Palerang Councils and we have now established a shared service arrangement for internal audits, with the future intention that the service will be taken over by the Canberra Region Joint Organisation of Councils (CBRJO).

This new arrangement between the three Councils has resulted in significant cost savings to SRSC and is a positive step in moving forward and becoming Fit for the Future.

Audit Committees do not displace or change the management accountability arrangements within Council but enhance the existing governance framework, risk management practices, and control environment by providing independent assurance and advise on key elements of Council’s operations.

If you have knowledge or experience in Risk Management, IT, Accounting, Financial Reporting or Internal Auditing please review the Expression of Interest Information located on Council’s website at: http://www.snowyriver.nsw.gov.au/Council/News_Media/ Public_Notices/Audit_Committee_Expression_of_Interest _Information Expressions of Interest close on 24 July 2015 and the first inaugural Audit Committee meeting is scheduled to be held in September 2015.

Fit For The Future (FFTF) Council’s FFTF submission to the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) is now available on IPART’s website and the Community has the opportunity to comment.

This is the last chance for the Community to be involved and the deadline to comment is 31 July 2015. I encourage everyone to review Council’s submission and be involved in our future. Please visit IPART’s website at http://www.ipart.nsw.gov.au and follow the links.

Tight squeeze for old Snowy machinery through Cooma

There was a lot of manoeuvring through the streets of Cooma last Tuesday when an old Snowy scrapper was transported to Berridale. The low loader carrying the scrapper only just made the turn from Creek Street onto Sharp Street before crossing the Cooma Back Creek. The scrapper will become part of an old machinery collection at Berridale.

Firies urge caution in the kitchen Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) firefighters are reminding residents to be careful when it comes to electrical fire safety and home heating in the lead-up to this weekend’s forecast cold snap.

Firefighters were called to more than 1100 home fires last winter, nearly one quarter (22 percent) of which were due to leaving household items such as electrical and heating appliances and cooking, unattended. “It’s cold and people are cooking more, using heaters to warm up the house, electric blankets to warm up their beds and putting clothes in the dryer: FRNSW Assistant Director Community Safety and Research, Chief Superintendent Chris Lewis said. “Keep looking when cooking and never leave a heater, dryer or electric blanket, or any other electrical device unattended. Always turn them off when leaving the home or going to bed. Also remember to check the electrical cords for fraying and other damage before use.: Firefighters are also reiterating warnings that outdoor heating and cooking appliances must not be brought indoors. This includes appliance that use ‘heat beads’ or LPG as a fuel source. “This type of equipment is not suitable for indoor use and can lead to a build-up of carbon monoxide which can be fatal� Chief Superintendent Lewis said. “We are seeing people use home-made heaters, such as terra cotta pots bolted together and place on top of butane gas cookers, indoors. These types of make-shift heating devices not only out you at great risk of carbon monoxide poisoning but also

starting a fire in your home�.

NSW Fair Trading Commissioner Rod Stowe urged householders to only use approved heaters that meet Australian standards and to check whether their heater was on the national product recall list at recalls.gov.au “Fair Trading inspects thousands of electrical and gas products each year to ensure only approved products are being sold� he said. “We need the assistance of the general public to be vigilant and to notify Fair Trading of any unsafe, unapproved or non-compliant products they may see.

FRNSW recommends the following to greatly reduce the risk of fire on your home; Keep looking when cooking; Clean out the clothes dryer filter after every load’ Keep clothing and other flammable materials at least one meter from heaters; Do not overload power points and power boards; Always turn off heating and electrical appliances when leaving the home or going to bed Regularly inspect power boards and electrical leads for signs of damage and degradation, and for dust; Ensure you have a working smoke alarm and a practised home escape plan; If a fire does occur, get out, stay out and call Triple Zero For further information about winter fire safety, visit www.fire.nsw.gov.au or contact your local fire station.

Retro Rockets land in Cooma - new industry for Polo Flat A new, shiny trend is sweeping through the country, with the introduction of Rocket Caravans by Cooma Motor Engineers.

These shiny vans with their retro look and mirror finish, are a people magnet, according to their importer, Mike Cattermole.

One shining example is the food van parked at Rhythm, Cooma during winter.

Decidedly retro in design, the vans are a popular food servery and as a display or promotional vehicle.

At present CME has two vans on site which are the first ones to be assembled in Cooma. The components are imported from the UK – one is a Rocket 23 which is going to

the Harbord Diggers Club in Sydney as the centrepiece of their new surfthemed, 1960s restaurant.

This Rocket has plenty of local input, with the chassis being built by Rodney Brown of Rodney’s Welding Repairs and Fabrications at Polo Flat.

The other, Rocket Mini, will be going to Canberra to be used as a servery by Burra Berkshires, a piggery at Burra, who supply top quality pork meals.

As well as the commercial range, Rocket have a full touring range all hand and custom built by English craftsmen.

Enquiries about the Rockets should be directed to Mike Cattermole on 0427 521 811 or to James on 0404 863 676.

The Rocket 23 and Mini Rocket now at Cooma Motor Engineers at Polo Flat.

ATO warns over claiming is easier to detect than ever This year the ATO will be focusing on unusually high work-related expense claims across all industries and occupations, a much wider approach than in previous years.

Assistant Commissioner Adam Kendrick said that the ATO’s ability to identify and investigate claims that differ from the ‘norm’ is improving each year at a rapid rate due to enhancements in technology and the use of data.

“These enhancements mean that every return is scrutinised and it is becoming a lot easier to identify claims that are significantly higher than those claimed by people with similar occupations and employment income,” Mr Kendrick said.

In addition to focusing on workrelated expense claims that are significantly higher than expected,

the ATO will also be paying particular attention to claims: • that have already been reimbursed by employers, and • for private expenses such as travel from home to work.

Help to get it right It’s important for people claiming to carefully review deductions before lodging their tax return to avoid a delay in getting a return.

Assistant Commissioner Adam Kendrick said there were three key points for people to remember when claiming work-related expenses: • you must have spent the money yourself, • it must be related to your job, and • you must have a record to prove it.

When claiming work-related travel, it’s important to remember you cannot claim for a normal trip between home and work, unless: • you use your car to carry bulky tools or equipment which you use for work and can’t leave on the work premises; • your home is a base for employment or • you have shifting places of employment (you regularly work at more than one place each day).

The ATO website has a series of videos to help with getting deduction claims right.

For more information, visit ato.gov.au/deductions or call 13 28 61.

Case studies In a recent case, a railway guard claimed work-related

car expenses for travel between his home and workplace. He indicated that this expense related to the carriage of bulky tools – including a flag, safety vest, handheld radio, torch, instructions and timetables. During our investigations the employer advised that the equipment was able to be securely stored on their premises. The taxpayer’s car expense claims were disallowed because the transportation of the equipment between home and work was his personal choice.

In another case a taxpayer lived in Western Australia and moved to take up a job in Victoria. He claimed expenses of over $18,000, which included motor vehicle costs to travel to another state to purchase a caravan. He also claimed the costs associated with buying the caravan and driving to Victoria to take up the job. When prompted by the ATO, the taxpayer amended his work-related expense claims to just over $1,300, which excluded all the travel costs associated with moving to his new work location.

Sharp Street bridge work continues Work to improve Cooma Creek Bridge will continue until August after wet weather has delayed work on site, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro said last week.

The NSW Government allocated $800,000 for work to strengthen the bridge located on Sharp Street to cater for future traffic demands.

“The bridge crosses Cooma Creek along Sharp Street leading to the Snowy Mountains Highway and is an important link for the local community and road users heading to the snowfields,” Mr Barilaro said.

“Work due to be completed at the end of June was delayed after the wet and cold weather slowed

the progress of concrete work on site.

“The project is now on track to be completed by the end of August, weather permitting.”

Work will continue to be carried out on weekdays between 7am and 5pm until the end of August.

Mr Barilaro said the essential maintenance aims to improve the condition of the structure as more road user’s access roads to the snowfields.

“It is also important the weight limit is maintained to cater for heavy vehicles travelling to and from the Snowy Mountains Highway,” Mr Barilaro.

“There is minor impact to traffic with most work taking place under the bridge”.

Teacher development day

The Monaro Education Group held a Term 3 school development day at Monaro High School on Monday.

“Every Student, Every School” is an initiative providing better learning and support for students with a disability, learning difficulties or behaviour support needs in public schools.

Pictured, director Melanie Meers delivers her keynote address.

Meeting to discuss band shell A Public Meeting has been called for Thursday July 16 at 6.30pm at the Ex-Services Club to discuss the upgrading of the Band Shell in Centennial Park into an up-to-the-moment Outdoor Theatre.

The Cooma Rotary Club and the Cooma and Monaro Progress Association have combined to produce a document upon which discussion at the meeting will be based. We thank the Shire Staff for their commentary on this document.

The document outlines a concept of 8 parts, each part being connected but which allows each part to be completed separately as funds permit.

Each will need a detailed design and costing, and it is suggested be a final form so that it fulfills the way grant monies are applied for.

It is emphasised that the concept presented is only a first suggestion and we are convinced that there are people out in the wider community who will have some really great ideas, which will turn the band shell into something which we will not only be proud of, but of great use.

The ideas gathered at the meeting will be used to rewrite and improve the present concept.

Anybody who want to join the planning Committee will be very welcome.

COWs introduced to local hospitals

EEN Vicki Lynch completing a theatre checklist in Cooma Batemans Bay, Moruya and Cooma District Hospitals have moved a step closer to a paperless system for patients and staff.

All three hospitals have recently introduced an electronic system for patient medical records.

The Electronic Medical Record (eMR), the system provides for computerised records of patients’ medical information to replace the former method of written records.

The Chief Information Officer of Southern NSW Local Health District, Andrew Elliott, said there were many advantages to the new digital records including allowing hospitals to track patient data over time, identify patients who are due for preventative visits and screenings, as well as improving the monitoring of patients. The eMR systems are available via a computer on wheels (affectionately called COWs), via a stationary docked tablet, or mobile tablet within a ward or bedside.

Mr Elliott said the functionality of eMR included: • Nursing staff electronically entering patient observations, allergies, alerts, comprehensive clinical assessments, progress notes and automated nursing activities and tasks • Medical staff completing all documentation, diagnosis and discharge summaries electronically • Visiting Allied Health staff electronically recording their documentation and receiving

consultations electronically In April, Batemans Bay and Moruya Hospitals both increased the eMR footprint in their sites. Originally the Emergency Departments and Operating Theatres were the only departments where staff could document clinical information electronically. Now the hospitals’ acute and sub-acute wards and intensive care units have the same functionality.

Cooma District Hospital implemented the new eMR system in June to its ED, operating theatre and general ward.

This enables treating nurses, doctors and allied health staff to access, create, and read clinical documentation in patient files, either when they are on site or remotely from other hospitals in the LHD. “Staff at all three hospitals have adapted to this major change in a positive manner and have come to appreciate the benefits,” said Andrew Elliott.

“Health staff no longer have to walk patient medical records from one area of a hospital to another, and the system also helps to significantly reduce potential misreading of hand written medical notes and records.”

The eMR program will be rolled out at Goulburn Base Hospital and the town’s Bourke Street Health Service, and Kenmore and Chisholm Ross Centres in coming months.

Kevin Dunne – The joy in giving - Elle Mackintosh

“Every night I kneel by Maree’s bed and I tell her how much I love her and what a wonderful wife and mother she has been.

She’ll often give me this look, or even the other night she put BOMBALA COUNCIL her arm around me, and it is really a sacred moment.”

Graduating in 1966, Kevin received his posting to become a mathematics teacher at Monaro High School. Upon finding that Monaro High was located in Cooma, Kevin appealed to have his posting changed.

“At the time my mother was not well, and I didn’t want to leave her or Maree. I had an interview to put my case forward ^^^ JVT H\ for the appeal, so I explained my situation,” Kevin recalls, “They called me up and said ‘You don’t have to go to Cooma’ which I was pleased about, but then they said ‘You have to go to Broken Hill’ to which I replied, ‘No thanks, I’ll go to Cooma.’” With Broken Hill being even further away, Kevin chose to make the move to Monaro High School, where he stayed for 15 years. It was in 1981 that Kevin was appointed Assistant Principal at St Patrick’s School. Four years later he became the Principal, a position he held at St Patrick’s for 16 years.

During his early days at Monaro High School, Maree was still living up in Sydney and the couple would visit one another whenever they New/used - Power Equipment incl Lawn mowers - Greenfield ride-on could.

of them and out came a middle-aged woman who began to strip her clothes off. Terribly embarrassed, Kevin and his friend assured the girls that they had no idea that that was going to happen, but Kevin has his suspicions that they never quite believed them.

Once married, Maree moved down to Cooma and the two made a life together, having five wonderful children. Their first daughter, Jodie, was born in 1969. She had cerebral palsy and was never able to walk.

She was also deaf. This was a very challenging time for Maree and Kevin.

“Maree was fantastic,” says Kevin, “She spent a lot of time with Jodie getting care in Canberra and we went to a specialist centre in Sydney every three months.”

In 2010, at the age of 40, Jodie was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer after finding a lump in her throat. The operation to remove the cancer took place in April, but sadly Jodie did not recover well and she tragically passed away in November that year. This was an extremely difficult time for Kevin and his other children, Michelle, Christina, Matthew and Suzanne.

Jodie had a tremendous effect on all their lives and Suzanne and Christina have both followed careers that involve teaching young people with disabilities. Matthew is a sommelier at Matt Moran’s Aria restaurant in Sydney and Michelle, like Suzanne and Christina, has followed in Kevin’s footsteps and teaches Japanese in Port Macquarie.

Next year will mark Kevin’s 50th year of working as a teacher. “I think the reason I love being a teacher is because I love people and I love to hear their stories, and I am always very interested in what happens to my students after they have left school,” he says, “I also enjoy being around young people as it helps to keep me young. It is so important to have a job that energises you.”

Kevin is still teaching mathematics part-time at St Patrick’s School.

“I am very lucky to be in a position to be able to continue teaching, and that is mainly due to the wonderful facilities that are available to Maree here in Cooma,” says Kevin.

Maree spends five days a week at the Cooma Challenge Monaro Community Access/Day Program run by Ruth Dakin.

In the mornings, Kevin is assisted by the Monaro home nursing service, for getting Maree ready for the day. Apart from a few hours of relief for church and to see friends, Kevin spends his entire weekend with Maree.

Maree’s early onset dementia was diagnosed in 2007. When Kevin asked her what she would like to do, she said that she wanted to travel to South Africa. Her grandmother had been from Capetown and she wanted to see where she had come from. Hesitant at first, Kevin agreed and they went together in 2008. “It was a wonderful experience and we even found the house where Maree’s grandmother had lived.” It is these precious moments that Kevin makes sure to reflect on every single day. “I take about 10 minutes each day to think about how lucky how I am,” he says, “It helps me to accept what is happening in my life, make the best of it and be grateful for what I have.”

“As I get older I have realised the importance of family and maintaining your links with them. I have also found that continuing to develop friendships is crucial,” says Kevin, “And I think that you need to have a belief in something, whether that be God or something else, it doesn’t matter what. But you need to believe in something and hold on to it.”

“However my representations to Minister Morrison subsequently secured the funding under a gap analysis into the grants scheme commissioned by the Minister earlier this year.

“I thank the Minister for his strong support. This is good news for Eden-Monaro, particularly for our community in Jindabyne and surrounding areas.

“I acknowledge the work of Helen Blackmore-Lee and the Centre Management Committee, the Snowy River Shire Council, and Jindabyne Chamber of Commerce in demonstrating the community need.

“I am proud to have assisted in providing certainty for the Snowy Mountains Neighbourhood Centre and look forward to them continuing to provide their services in the local community,” Mr Hendy said.

the

postman calls

Well, that might not have been a super storm last weekend, but it sure cooled the place down a tad.

The resorts received some very welcome snow, farmers received some welcome rain and all we need now is for the wind to stop howling around as we get close to lambing.

With more snow predicted for this week and weekend, our ski season may well extend into spring again this year.

That could be the perfect storm - good snow and fine weather in September.

Lovely!

The dreary weather on Sunday allowed The Postman a chance to flick on the telly again - in case there was another absolute howler of an old movie.

The British production “Where no Vultures Fly” was indeed an oldie made in 1951 - but it dealt with issues still being faced in South Africa today, mainly poaching and the wanton killing of animals.

The movie didn’t seem to have a solution to this, either.

Wonder what’s on next week?

Must be just about time for another St Trinians offering...

Good news for Cooma Editor, The announcement last week of the building next year of Health Training facilities at the Cooma District Hospital is great news both for Cooma and for the Monaro.

The Rural Doctor Scheme has been operating at the Hospital now for about ten years, and the community can be very grateful for the work of Dr Rob Wiles in the way this training has prospered.

This announcement also brings nurse training to Cooma.

Cooma is fast becoming an education centred town, with

excellent High Schools, a well appointed TAFE, and the Cooma University Centre and now with this announcement.

There are now a number of advantages for students to come to Cooma for further education.

Amongst these are low rents, no traffic problems, a wide choice of courses to complete, and “So Much to Love” in the town and district.

Dugald Mitchell OAM Chair Cooma and Monaro Progress Association.

Riposte Lisa Ashurst It’s coming up to that time of year again when women’s magazines and the lifestyle sections of the newspapers are going to start doing spreads on fashion trends for the coming spring and summer and these will inevitably lead to those “bikini body” articles, as in, is your bod up to scratch for the beach flaunt, followed by a photo spread of svelte models showcasing what will be on offer in swimwear for the coming summer. Not what you really want to see if you’ve been huddled up with the comfort food since the colder weather hit.

Thing is, we are now half way through July which means we are only around six weeks or so from September and if you have been finding solace with all those calorie-laden feel-good foods then such articles are probably the very last thing you want to see and the photo spread will probably send you into a tail spin. On the other hand though, it may prompt you to pop the munchies back in the cupboard and forgo your comfy chair and that nice warm fire and get moving. I guess it depends on whether you want to do the bikini thingy. If your swimwear amounts to boardies and a T-shirt then you’ll probably flick past the page and toss another handful of chocolate-coated something into your mouth and not give the svelties in the swimwear a second thought. Not that hard to do when

it’s overcast and the temp outside reads in low single digits.

But if you’re a tail-spinner such features can give you a nasty shock, especially when they appear without warning.

The next thing you know you’ll be standing in front of the mirror staring in shock at the result of all those sweet treats that have kept you sane through the winter and wondering if you can repair the damage in time for spring, especially if one of those bikinis or stylish one pieces caught your eye. It’s enough to send you running back to the couch with goodies...and a nice mug of hot chocolate to soothe your shellshocked senses.

Well like I said, it’s only mid July with August still to come so, depending how addicted you are to indulging in comfort foods, you could leave it for the time being and focus on shifting any winter weight gain come September. I mean, you can always fall back on a good-looking pair of boardies and T-shirt for the beach/local pool if you haven’t quite reached your goal by the time the warm weather really hits, right?. Just be aware that others who got moving a lot earlier will be parading their bikini bodies and there is a law against drowning them or shoving them alive into a sandy grave. When you look at it that way it’s enough to get you off the couch in July after all!

Well...almost...

Home loan demand hits 21 month low 10 July 2015: Home loan demand took a tumble in May, new data has revealed.

According to the May Housing Finance Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 50,366 home loans were approved over the course of the month – down from 53,643 the month prior.

Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said this is the smallest number of home loan approvals recorded since August 2013.

“Over the month of May, we saw a 6.1% drop in the number of dwelling commitments for all owner occupied housing, as well as an 8.3% drop in the number of home loans approved for the construction of dwellings,” he said.

“And it wasn’t just the number of home loans approvals that fell over the month of May, the value of all dwelling approvals also took a fall.”

Just over $31 billion worth of home loans were approved over the month of May, down 4.4% on the month prior.

The value of owner occupied dwelling commitments dropped 5.3% to just over $18 billion, while the value of investment loans tumbled 3.2% to $13 billion.

Speaking about the data, Mr Flavell said he wasn’t surprised to see a dip in home loan activity in May

given that a lot of lenders made changes to their lending policy that month.

“Over the month of May, we saw a number of lenders make some significant adjustments to their lending policy in a bid to curb their level of investment growth,” he said.

“Of course, while some of the changes made applied purely to investment lending, others went right across the board and impacted both owner occupiers and investors.

“Because of this, I am not surprised to see a drop off in the level of home loan demand in May. Moving forward, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this weaker level of demand continue, especially when you consider that the next few months of data will be from winter - which is a notoriously quiet time for the property market.”

Furthermore, Mr Flavell said global uncertainty – including the growing problems in Greece and China - may encourage potential buyers to take a seat on the sidelines.

“Economic uncertainty abroad may dampen the spirits of Australian property buyers, not to mention potential international investors,” he said.

“That said, while demand may weaken further over the coming months, it is important to note that by historical standards demand is still incredibly high and the value of home loans written each month is still very strong.”

Wednesday July 15, 2015

Boyce City2Surf challenge is on again Leading professional services firm, Boyce Chartered Accountants will once again field a team in the annual City2Surf challenge to raise money for the Burns Support Foundation.

Since 2008, the regional-based accounting firm has raised more than $140,000 for charity through its involvement in City2Surf - a 14km fun run from Sydney CBD to the iconic Bondi Beach.

The Boyce Cooma team will be hosting two fundraising events this year and we urge our local community to get involved.

Our first fundraiser will take place on Thursday 16 July at 7pm with a screening of Magic Mike XXL at the Cooma Twin Cinema.

Tickets are $25 (available at Boyce reception and at the cinema on the night) which includes our private screening, drinks and nibbles. So why not organise a group of your girlfriends to come along for what is sure to be an entertaining night.

Our second fundraising event is a monster garage sale being held in the Boyce

undercover carpark on Saturday 25 July.

There will be a BBQ and cake stall along with furniture, household items, clothing, luggage,

to the Burns Support Foundation, a not-forprofit organisation that provides assistance and support to burns survivors and their

gym equipment, baby items, cookbooks, ski gear and much much more.

All monies raised by Boyce will be directed

families. All of the work they do is carried out by volunteers and without any government support.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a special motivation to raise as much money as we can to help the Burns Support Foundation continue their fantastic work,â&#x20AC;? said Stacey Hinton, Boyceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marketing coordinator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Julie Schofield, a director at Boyce and Sun-Herald City2Surf team captain, suffered a burns injury as a child.â&#x20AC;?

Julie knows well that once a burns survivor, you are a burns survivor for life. But with the help of the Burns Support Foundation as a child, she has been able to cope with the many years of hospital visits and surgeries to emerge with a positive attitude to life and a rewarding career.

Julie credits her positive outlook to the mentoring and support offered by the Burns Support Foundation through their annual camps for burns survivors and their families.

Your Town Dusty dispute closed road to loggers Seven years of arguing with bureaucracy became too much for Tantawangalo man Phil Miller last Friday.

He has been trying to get a short piece of bitumen laid in front of his house to stop dust created by logging trucks impacting on his lifestyle.

He thought he had won the battle when State Forests said the trucks would use the Tine Mine track, rather than Tantawangalo Mountain Road, which runs close to his property.

But the trucks kept coming.

Two and a half years ago, he thought he would have assistance from Bombala Shire Council in getting some bitumen laid, but that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happened either.

Phil just wants to stop the dust problem. It

gets into his water tank, it gets into his home and it dirties the washing on the clothesline.

Last Friday, Phil parked his tractor across the road, stopping the trucks and creating a furor and resulting in a visit from police and the Forestry Manager for South East Fibre Exports, operators of the Eden chipmill.

Phil agreed to move the tractor on the understanding the trucks would use the Tin Mine Road.

But due to what Phil says is a lack of maintenance, that road canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t used.

He is not ruling out blocking the road again, if he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the dust problem fixed.

A spokesperson for State Forests told The Monaro Post â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tantawangalo Mountain Road is a council-owned road that Forestry Corporation uses over short periods every

3 years or so. Forestry Corporation is not a major user of this road and has not used it for haulage from local hardwood forests since May 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forestry Corporation is conscious of managing dust in dry weather and has previously reached an arrangement with local residents to use Tin Mine Road as an alternative route during dry weather. However, Tin Mine Road is unsafe to use during wet weather so trucks are currently using Tantawangalo Mountain Road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While trucks do not create dust in wet weather, we have set a speed limit of 15 kilometres an hour on our trucks along the section of Tantawangalo Mountain Road in front of Mr Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house to minimise disturbance.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as it is safe to use again, Forestry Corporation will redirect trucks to Tin Mine Road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forestry Corporationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s haulage contractor discussed this operation with council staff in 2014 prior to this operation and no objections were raised. Forestry Corporation is continuing to speak with Bombala Shire Council and Mr Miller to try and reach a solution that satisfies all partieâ&#x20AC;?.

Bombala mayor Bob Stewart sympathises with Mr Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dust problem. He said he would take the matter to council and they would work towards getting funding to get the job done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been happening for a while and we will do something to solve the issueâ&#x20AC;? he said.

But he added â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not going to happen tomorrowâ&#x20AC;?.

Hazeldean happy with sale

The buoyant cattle market of recent months continued apace last week with an outstanding sale of Hazeldean Angus heifers on Auctions plus.

The line of 384 unclassed 9 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 11 month old heifers sold to a phenomenal top of $1205 per head and averaged an incredible $1028.

The heifers were sold through Monaro Livestock and Property with all but the final lot purchased

by Brendan Abbey of Yass for a Western Australian client.

Gary Evans of Monaro Livestock & Property, Cooma, described the offering as a unique, once in a lifetime opportunity to obtain a line of commercial heifers of this quality

from one of the leading Angus herds in the country.

The heifers were in very forward store to fat condition on the back of a very good Monaro summer.

Vendor Jim Litchfield of Hazeldean said he was very pleased with the result and that the interest â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were delighted with the result although it is a little sad seeing these young heifers go but our mature cow numbers are high and although we are enjoying an exceptional season on the Monaro we felt it prudent to lighten off a littleâ&#x20AC;?.

Pictured, some of the Hazeldean 9-10 month old heifers that made $1205 per head on auctionsplus last Friday.

DPI water established Minister for Primary Industries, Lands and Water, Niall Blair, has announced the formation of DPI Water â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in line with a new direction for managing water in NSW. Mr Blair said DPI Water will replace the former NSW Office of Water, and will continue to remain within the Department of Primary Industries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is more than just a name change â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about a renewed focus on how water is managed, and DPI Water will lead this fresh approach,â&#x20AC;? Mr Blair said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over recent months the operational functions of the former Office of

Water have been closely examined to determine changes to ensure the future of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water management. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Throughout the process the NSW Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top priority has been to deliver quality water services to communities across NSW and we have looked at new opportunities for the future of water management in this state.â&#x20AC;?

DPI Water will focus on water planning and policy in urban and rural areas, and ensuring our Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interests are progressed at the national level.

Better news for about wild dogs

Attendees at the Shannons Flat Bredbo Michelago wild dog meeting.

Thomas Ross It was better news for landholders at the meeting of the Shannons Flat Bredbo Michelago Wild Dog working group. At the working group meeting held on the 3rd July at the Shannons Flat Hall, Tim Shepherd, Wild Dog Project Manager for the South East Local Lands Service announced the reintroduction of the seasonal trapper to the area. This trapping support was withdrawn with the commencement of LLS in January 2014 leaving landholders extremely concerned given the reports of increasing dog activity and stock losses.

For the five years prior to 2014 stock losses due to wild dog attacks in the Shannons Flat area had been eliminated, says landholder Peter Luton. He states that support from a seasonal trapper along with the regular work of the full time trapper in the area is key to eliminating stock losses.

The Shannons Flat Bredbo Michelago Wild Dog working group is a co-operative plan between landholders, Act Parks and Conservation and South East Local Land Services. Key to the success of the plan is integrated control work by all parties, with a nil tenure approach. The plan has been running for many years and it was in 2008/9 when stock losses in the Shannons

Flat area were in the hundreds that the seasonal trapper was introduced by the then South East LHPA. Many wild dogs were trapped and stock losses in the following years were reduced to zero.

The current Shannons Flat Bredbo Michelago Wild Dog Plan is due to expire at the end of this year. A new draft plan for 2015-2020 was tabled at the meeting and was well supported by the landholder group with the formalisation of the seasonal trapper in the plan. However, the status of the plan into the future is uncertain, with LLS announcing plans to no longer employ trappers as of 2017. No alternative arrangements have been announced as yet leaving landholders across the South East very concerned, with the potential to revert back to the years of high stock losses.

In response to landholder concerns and to ensure that successful wild dog management continues Local Land Services is seeking landholder input regarding future wild dog management arrangements at a series of workshops to be held later this month. The Cooma workshop will be held on Tuesday 21st July at 9.45am at the Alpine Hotel. Those wishing to attend are requested to RSVP to the SE LLS on 1300 795 299. All concerned landholders are encouraged to attend.

Hendy on Ag White Paper Member for Eden-Monaro, Dr Peter Hendy, has welcomed the release of the Commonwealth Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Agricultural Competitiveness White Paper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the first time, Australia has a long-term plan to make agriculture strongerâ&#x20AC;?, said Dr Hendy.

Dr Hendy said the Agricultural Competitiveness White Paper is a vital part of our plan to build a strong, prosperous economy and a safe, secure Australia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A strong agriculture sector contributes to a strong economyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and that means more jobs, more exports, higher incomes and better services to our community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re determined to make the sector even more competitive and to deliver practical actions that will keep our farmers and farming families profitable and resilient. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For example, the White Paper process highlighted that farmers need help to reduce the impacts of pest animals and weeds on agricultural production, and this is certainly true on the Monaro and through the high country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be investing $50 million over four years to better manage established pest animals and weeds, including wild dogs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This measure will help develop and promote better technologies and tools â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including chemical and biological controls â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to tackle priority species,â&#x20AC;?

Dr Hendy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are also lowering tax, cutting red and green tape, building infrastructure, encouraging trade, and supporting business to innovate and create jobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have already abolished the Carbon Tax and the Growing Jobs and Small Business package announced in the Budget will benefit 97 per cent of farmersâ&#x20AC;?, said Dr Hendy.

The White Paper and the 2015 Budget deliver a better tax system for farm businesses by enabling: â&#x20AC;˘ banks to allow farmers to use FMDs as a business loan offset, reducing interest costs estimated at up to $150 million a year, from 1 July 2016; â&#x20AC;˘ farmers to opt back into income tax averaging after 10 years, from 1 July 2016; â&#x20AC;˘ farmers to double their Farm Management Deposits (FMDs) to $800,000, from 1 July 2016; â&#x20AC;˘ immediate tax deduction for fencing and the cost of new water infrastructure; and â&#x20AC;˘ accelerated three-year depreciation of capital expenditure on fodder assets.

The Government will also invest $11.4 million to boost ACCC engagement with the agricultural sector including a new Commissioner expert in agriculture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A more farm-savvy and proactive ACCC will encourage fair-trading and strengthen competition in agricultural supply chainsâ&#x20AC;?, said Dr Hendy.

The White Paper builds on the Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investments to build 21st century water, transport and communications infrastructure, including a new National Water Infrastructure Fund.

Australia will always stand by farmers in drought. Including initiatives announced in the 2015 Budget, the White Paper provides long-term support for famers when they need it most: â&#x20AC;˘ up to $250 million in Drought Concessional Loans each year for 11 years; â&#x20AC;˘ $22.8 million to increase Farm Household Allowance case management for farmers; â&#x20AC;˘ increased financial counselling services and improved access to community mental health; â&#x20AC;˘ access for farmers to their Farm Management Deposits when needed, without losing tax concessions; â&#x20AC;˘ $35 million for local infrastructure projects to help communities suffering due to drought; â&#x20AC;˘ $25.8 million over four years to manage pest animals and weeds in drought-affected areas; and Dr Hendy said the Government is opening new export markets and will protect Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highly prized biosecurity status, which underpins our valuable exports. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Government has successfully delivered the trifecta of free trade agreements with Japan, the Republic of Korea and China â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this will deliver new opportunities for our farmersâ&#x20AC;?, said Dr Hendy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am delighted that the White Paper includes $200 million to improve biosecurity which will help ensure Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premium products remain top quality and $30.8 million to break down technical barriers to trade and appointing five new overseas Agriculture Counsellorsâ&#x20AC;?, said Dr Hendy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Together we are building a stronger, more productive, more profitable and more sustainable Australian agriculture sector.â&#x20AC;?

Food bowl turned into coal NSW Farmers have criticised the Federal Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision which gives the giant 268 million tonne Shenhua Watermark Coal Project on the Liverpool Plains of NSW federal approval to proceed. The association claimed it was outrageous that on the same day the government launched the Agricultural White Paper and talked up the importance of the industry to the national economy, the Environment Minister was approving a mine that will disturb an area of over 4000 football fields in size, in the middle of some of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best farming country.

Association president Fiona Simson said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Prime Minister said at the white paper launch that government would never allow an extractive industry project to go ahead where it would threaten the long term viability of our agricultural sectorâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This notion is completely at odds with an open-cut coal mine being built in some of our best food producing land that sits over the top of some of our most important agricultural water resources. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our members and the local community are more than disappointed - they are devastated over the lack of political will to protect this area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Liverpool Plains produces about 40 percent more than the national average of food per hectare and is the highest contributor to agriculture value in NSW. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are angry that after having engaged constructively and fully in a project approvals process, that the project will proceed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our farmers and community are sick of having to live with a flawed government planning process which has failed to implement the required measures to adequately protect agricultural land from inappropriate projects here and in other areas of the state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;NSW Farmers has worked

constructively with the process and taken every opportunity to highlight the complete policy failure that has brought us all to this point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It illustrates the failure of government policy to provide protection for our best agricultural land.

If an open-cut coal mine project can happen on the Liverpool Plains - it can happen anywhere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farmer and community opposition to this project is not going to go away.

We will be supporting our members and those in the community to ensure that this mine does not proceed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is plainly obvious that the state government needs to get serious about the real and robust protection of our best food producing areas. We are tired of the platitudes, we want to see action,â&#x20AC;? she concluded.

NFF comment The National Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation (NFF) joins with the community of the Liverpool Plains and NSW Farmers in raising serious concerns about the Federal Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to approve the Shenhua coal mine.

A large open cut mine which has the potential to compromise food and fibre production should not be allowed in close proximity to some of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best agricultural land.

The NFF believes the decision by both the NSW and Federal governments demonstrates an unwillingness to properly balance the needs of mining industries with those of farmers and food production.

The NFF urges the Federal Government, in collaboration with the NSW Government, to redouble their efforts and leave no stone unturned in the protection of agricultural land and water assets.

The decision by the Federal Government should prompt a rethink and public debate about how farm land is protected in this country.

Combining top genetics with superior ewe feed management can boost reproduction rates and Bredwell Fedwell will show producers how.

Producers have an opportunity to attend a Bred Well Fed Well workshop at â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hazeldean Wool Shedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, Cooma from 9am to 3:30pm on Friday July 24.

The workshops, supported by Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA), are an opportunity for producers to gain knowledge and skills in genetics and nutrition to help meet their enterprise objectives.as Workshop facilitator, Sally Martin said the handson, one-day workshops will give producers practical tools to optimise reproduction and profitability in their ewe flocks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The day is squarely aimed at improving the profitability of ewe flocks because they are the engine room of the industry,â&#x20AC;? said Mrs Martin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For example, important elements of the practical one day workshop will be setting breeding goals for ewe flocks and how using tools like Breeding Values can help producers meet their goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are excited about the opportunities that combining good breeding with good feeding will

bring to the sheep industry,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The workshops focus on the following: â&#x20AC;˘ improved understanding of how to use reliable breeding tools to improve enterprise profitability; â&#x20AC;˘ how to develop a breeding objective for your sheep enterprise; â&#x20AC;˘ better management of ewe nutrition for reproductive performance and flock profitability; and â&#x20AC;˘ skills in assessing ewe condition and developing simple energy budgets for the ewe flock.

Practical sessions include condition scoring, feed budgeting, ram rankings and ram selection. Followup courses in these areas will be offered for those wishing to further develop skills in breeding and nutritional management.

There is a participation fee of $75 (inc. GST) per person to attend.

For more information and to RSVP by Monday 20th July, contact Kelly Matthews 02 6453 5555 (admin@hazeldean.com.au) or visit the MLA website www.mla.com.au

Ag youth to have their say Given the huge popularity of the inaugural Australian Youth Ag Council in Canberra later this month, the Future Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Network (FFN) has added a handful of additional seats for industry attendees.

This unique two day forum, hosted by FFN, will tackle the three big issues identified in the networkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest survey of its community of 18,000 people aged 18-35 working across Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agriculture sector.

FFN Executive Officer Michael Burgess says what was interesting about the survey findings was how the views of the younger generation differed to those coming through mainstream media from older generations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe this warrants a platform for young people working across the sector to have their say, and for their voice to be heard by government leaders and policy makers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The aim of the forum is to prepare some clear policy priorities for agriculture, which will be presented to the Federal Government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The forum will focus on priority areas identified in the survey, including access to capital and finance, drought policy and policy on education, skills, training and labour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Interestingly, these are also some of the areas where there seems to be a different viewpoint across the generations.

The Youth Ag Council will be an open forum, taking input from young people involved in all aspects of agriculture across the country. The forum will involve live polling and facilitated

discussions with industry experts.

Speakers come from industry, politics and representative groups, and include: â&#x20AC;˘ Senator Richard Colbeck, Parliamentary Secretary for Agriculture (invited) â&#x20AC;˘ Joel Fitzgibbon MP, Shadow Minister for Agriculture â&#x20AC;˘ Lisa Chesters MP, Federal Member for Bendigo â&#x20AC;˘ David Krause, Chief Financial Officer of Kalfresh Vegetables â&#x20AC;˘ Tony Maher, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of National Farmers Federation It will also include workshops on advocacy, media and communications, a host of engaging speakers and plenty of networking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The outcomes of the event will inform the Youth Ag Council Position Report, which will be taken directly to relevant parts of the Federal Government and form the basis of policy change conversations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;FFN will report back to its community on the outcomes of the event and progress of policy discussions.

All member positions have been filled, with the only a few spaces now available open for industry attendees. Organisations looking to support the event receive registration for a team member aged 18 to 35 years and additional benefits.

Date: July 30 and 31 Location: Realm Hotel, 18 National Circuit, Canberra Registrations: Places are strictly limited!

Bombala rugby league match reports On Saturday July 11, the Bombala and District football club hosted their Heritage football round against The Cooma Stallions Club in round 13 of the group 16 Rugby League competition.

The local highland darby drew a great crowd despite the predicted chilly afternoon.

Ladies League Tag With the friendly rivalry between many past team mates this game was much anticipated as the Bombala High Heelers were determined to level the score from their loss to the Fillies up in Cooma earlier on in the season. The game proved to be a nail biter with the High Heelers eventual winners in a close 2-0 score-line. The High Heelers were on the back foot from the kick off with a spilt ball handing over possession early to the fillies only 20m out from their line. Defence was an area the High Heelers had been focusing on throughout the weeks leading up to this game. Aware that it would likely be a low scoring game it would be sound defence likely to win them the game. Lucy Sellers, Jane Peadon, Tash Stewart and Maree Coates were instrumental in shutting the attacking efforts of the Fillies down. Amy Stone played an integral role in the middle of the field, working hard all game to drive the ball out of the Heelers half along with solid tagging efforts.

The combination of the Schofield twins for the Fillies was lethal constantly breaking the Heelers line and looking dangerous with the ball in their hands. The kicking game of Meg Bracher kept the Heelers fullback and wingers honest all game and to Kayley Keevey and Keiarna Rodwell’s credit they continued to safely collect the ball and bring it back for the Heelers. The direction of Emma Sullivan on the right hand side of the paddock gave great structure and was unlucky not see points put on the board.

The combination of Monique Ingram and Tash Stewart again looked promising with a number of line breaks and opportunities to score points out on the left hand side, only to be denied in the last moments of the play.

With a nil-all score-line at half time the High Heelers were determined to forget about the negatives of their first half which did include a number of unforced errors early in the tackle count, and remained positive about their ability to win the game.

A slightly longer half time break for the girls saw the presentation of the heritage

round jerseys for the Bombala first grade team. Being presented from former Bombala and Delegate players, it was a historic event for the club, one that all the first graders felt honoured to be a part of.

The High Heelers took the field after half time with sheer determination on their faces, not deterred by the rising wind and sleeting rain. They were able to complete more sets in this half and whilst not error free, was a marked improvement on their errors in the first half. Field possession was more in the Heelers favour playing most of the second half in fillies territory.

Whilst the High Heelers came close on numerous occasions, it was a credit to the defensive efforts of the fillies as the heelers were unable to penetrate their line to score points. However it was just 4 minutes out from full time that a penalty was awarded to the Heelers that saw them able to elect to go for the 2 points almost in front of the sticks. Maree Coates struck the ball with ease to slot the 2 pointer and finally put points on the board. Determined to hold strong and solid in defence for the last 3 minutes of the game the Heelers were able to nab the win in what was a highly entertaining game of football.

Players player awarded from the players went to Maree Coates (sponsored by Dommo’s Shearing) whose impact on the game was immeasurable, 3 points went to Emma Sullivan (sponsored by DF & D Stewart) for her direction across the field, 2 points went to the dynamic Jane Peadon (sponsored by Bibbenluke Stockhorse Stud) and 1 point was awarded to Maree Coates for as mentioned above.

The first grade game as seems tradition, started off well for the home team.

Whilst the Stallions were able to put early points on the board, Joe Bobbin (sponsored by G.Moore Concreting) was a standout for the home team, his ability to run hard and split the defensive line was on display again. It was Joe’s line break and impressive run down the field that saw him off load to a storming Andrew

Anderson who was able to score under the black dot for the home side. Despite the early lapses in defence the line was held strong particularly from the efforts of Clay Stewart, Chris Anderson and Brett Hodak.

Going into the sheds trailing 28-6 at half time, The Heelers were not out of contention yet, however injuries kept taking their toll on the new side. Aware they were missing some big names to injury in Malcolm Stone, Paul Perkins, Matthew Stone and Digby Walcott, the team knew they had to lift if they were to take out the win. Daniel Douch played with great vigour until copping a shot to the head also forcing him to the sideline. Joel Cherry made an impact coming from the sideline bringing great enthusiasm in defence, Andrew Anderson and Jackson Standen continued to work tirelessly in defence and attack however it was all the Cooma Stallions in the second half. Out on their feet the boys conceded another 32 points in the second half, blowing the scoreline out 606.

Players player and 3 points were shared between brother combination Chris Anderson (sponsored by Foodworks) and Andrew Anderson, 2 points went to work

horse Jackson Standen (sponsored by J&A Murdoch) and 1 point to the ever reliable Brett Hodak (sponsored by Final Touches).

The Bombala & District Football club look forward to hosting the last of the round games next weekend against Merimbula/ Pambula Bulldogs in the first grade and the Merimbula/Pambula Hotdoggies and the Bibbenluke/Cobargo Pink Panthers in the double header for our ladies on Saturday 18th July at the Bombala showground.

The Football club would like to thanks its sponsors; Bombala RSL Club, Caldwell Building & Contracting Pty Ltd, Ron Milliner Earthmoving, RAW Strength Bombala, Dongwah, Bob Stewart, Our Local IGA, Pat Lomas and Imperial Hotel Bombala.

TSM secures world-class cycling event Honouring our A new world-class road cycling event which will attract thousands of people to the Snowy Mountains has been secured for December 2016.

Exclusive to NSW, the L’Etape Australia

by Le Tour de France is the renowned race for amateurs under the banner of the world’s most prestigious cycling event.

L’Etape Australia will take place in and around Jindabyne and the Kosciuszko National Park and is expected to attract up to 7,000 cyclists.

Tourism Snowy Mountains Executive Officer, Neil Thew said, “This event will be huge for the Snowy Mountains region attracting thousands of cycling enthusiasts that will see how amazing our part of the world really is. It will also showcase the Snowy Mountains to a global audience, highlighting us as the adventure playground of Australia.’’

Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events and Minister for Sport Stuart Ayres said the event has been secured through Destination NSW, for the next three years.

“Cycling tourism is an expanding market delivering important economic, social and environmental benefits to our tourism industry. A high-profile event such as L’Etape Australia is anticipated to deliver in excess of $4 million in visitor expenditure across the three years,” Mr Ayres said.

“Not only do events like L’Etape Australia provide valuable support to local communities within Regional NSW, but it helps the NSW Government achieve its goal of doubling overnight visitor expenditure to the State by 2020.”

L’Etape Australia will run over three

days and include a course endorsed by the Le Tour de France Race Director, Christian Prudhomme. The event will encompass different levels including a highly challenging mountainous route, a course for seasoned riders and a shorter ride for those wanting to absorb the atmosphere of a weekend immersed in Le Tour de France. L’Etape Australia will be co-managed by Lateral Events and SBS and promoted by SBS. “SBS is the home of cycling in Australia

Member for Monaro John Barilaro said competitors would be able to enjoy the area’s endless mountainous terrain making it the perfect spot for this Australian-first event.

“During the warmer months, the Snowy Mountains transform into a cyclist’s dream and we are excited to welcome competitors and spectators to the region next year and showcase all that the region has to offer,” Mr Barilaro said.

Lyn McMahon wins Div 2 Lady Tiger profiles regional singles - again!

Adaminaby’s A.Madden willing Lyn’s bowl into head for another shot.

Below: Lyn McMahon rRgional Singles winner - again.

Monday June 29 was the start of Regional Playoffs of the Fours and Singles at Narooma Bowling Club.

First up on Monday the Adaminaby girls played the final of the Open fours against Merimbula owing to Tuross Heads withdrawing.

Adaminaby’s team, consisting of Lyn McMahon (skip), Aylene Madden, Carol McMahon and sub Nicole Barnes got off to a unusually slow start.

After settling in, the girls were keeping the game within striking distance and although finding themselves down by six on the last end were counting their little nest of eggs in the head to draw and force another end.

Unfortunately a desperation bowl by the Merimbula skip into the head cracked the head and Adaminaby girls went down 15-17.

Well done girls a disappointment after a great effort.

In the Senior Four’s Jindabyne had the bye in the morning while Merimbula and Malua Bay played the semi final, Malua Bay coming out winners .

In the afternoon Lyn McMahon (Adaminaby) played P Reynolds (Tura Beach).

After a warm up in the morning‘s game Lyn came out on fire leading 16-1 but Pam started to find her line and started to close in on the score and for a while Lyn just couldn’t hold the head to finish off the game, and the score was diminishing to

21-19.

Luckily the shots finally came Lyn winning 25-19 with the final the next morning.

In the final of the Senior Four’s between Jindabyne’s Del Turner (skip) Mandy Coomber, Jenny Smith, Coral Hume and Malua Bay, Jindabyne were a bit slow getting the feel of the green, but were making ground.

Del’s expertise skipping was rattling the coastal girls and they just couldn’t rake in the final ends to go down 17-22.

Congratulations girls on a great game you did us proud.

Tuesday morning was the Final of the singles between Lyn McMahon (Adaminaby) and Kay Thurlow (Tuross Heads).

Once again Lyn got off to a great start leading 14-1 within six ends and it looked like the game was destined to finish in no time.

Great determination and concentration by Kay saw Lyn’s lead getting smaller.

Once again Lyn’s game was faltering towards the finish, but this time Lyn was able to keep her focus to bring home the bacon for the mountains 25-18 and will now join the Cooma girls and Malua Bay at Tuncurry in October for the State playoffs.

Congratulations Lyn on a great winning season, here’s hoping you can put the icing on the cake then.

Perisher’s award winning terrain parks will be bigger and better than ever in 2015 Boasting seven terrain parks and Australia’s biggest halfpipe, Perisher has cemented itself as the number one Park riding destination in the Southern Hemisphere.

Terrain Park Manager, Charles Beckinsale, who is internationally renowned for his innovative park designs and riding success, will continue to manage Perisher parks this season.

“We are looking at the strongest start we have had in recent years with the cold temps allowing the snowmakers to blow lots of snow on the Front Valley Park, couple that with the jibs looking fresh after their summer maintenance. Things are looking good”, says Charles.

The park crew have been busy in the workshop building new features to add to the rail fleet, which is already the largest in the southern hemisphere; the new features will make their way into the seven parks throughout the season.

The PlayStation Slopestyle Park will be the venue for the biggest park events in the country. With the ever changing features, the park will host the Subaru Junior National Freeride Championships, where 6 to 18 year olds will compete in ski and snowboard Slopestyle, Halfpipe and Cross disciplines, with one person to be crowned the Junior National Champion.

Stepping up to the next level, The PlayStation Slopestyle Championships will bring together national level Junior and Senior Slopestyle competitors, throwing down their best moves to be crowned PlayStation’s Champion.

Looking to the world Stage, The Mile High is the top ranked Slopestyle event in the Southern Hemisphere and on the World Snowboard Tour. It will see the best of World and Olympic Slopestyle Skiers and Boarders showcasing their skills at an International level.

Event Director of The Mile High, Richard Hegarty says, “Perisher has become the training ground for all international Slopestyle teams both snowboarding and Freeski. The Mile High event supported by Carlton Dry this year will host virtually every top Slopestyle rider from all nations. Every day through August will be like the Olympics or the X Games. It is great to have a World Class event in Australia and for the athletes to return to year after

year, growing in numbers is a huge compliment to the Perisher park crew and is a big boost for the region”.

Last season saw some of the biggest names in snow sports training and competing at Perisher with Olympic Gold medalists Sage Kotsenburg, Joss Christensen and Jamie Anderson, along with many others making the trip to Australia.

Perisher CEO Peter Brulisauer said, “Perisher’s PlayStation Terrain Park ranks amongst the best in the world and is the premier Slopestyle Park in the Southern Hemisphere. Due to the great work the Perisher Terrain Park team have been doing the facility is truly world-class. This is attracting skiing and snowboarding Olympic and World Champions to Perisher to gain valuable training time and compete in a world class event”.

Perisher parks are not just for the pros, anyone wanting to develop their park riding abilities can choose from a range of different park set ups spread across the resort which include jumps, rails, boxes and a mini halfpipe.

This season, Perisher has made it even easier for guests to develop their skills with the Perisher Snowsports School introducing Perisher’s Performance Plus sessions. These three hour sessions, hosted by the Snowsports Schools best park and pipe instructors, will help skiers and boarders learn essential skills for riding the parks and pipe, with the choice between a terrain park session and a halfpipe session.

Perisher Winter Sports Club Head Snowboard Coach Chad Collier said, “Perisher is very proud of the fantastic terrain parks spread across Perisher, Smiggins and Blue Cow. With eight terrain parks and two halfpipes, including the mini pipe for the kids to try for the first time, we have facilities to cater for all levels of skiers and snowboarders.”

“The parks cater to everyone from the kids in our beginner terrain parks, to our Olympic athletes such as World Championships silver medallist skier Russ Henshaw and former world champion halfpipe snowboarder and Nate Johnstone. It really is the only place to be to progress your skiing and snowboarding skills.”

Points for all in Bill Elder Shield Cooma Gun Club

Bill Elder Shield players earned further points last Wednesday and in consultation with Peter it was agreed to award points to all the players who were involved in Minor Singles as all were regular Wednesday players.

Ron Wainwright made a solid start against Mario Freezza , but trailed 14/17 on 18. In winning eight of the last ten ends played, Ron was a clear winner 31/19. The match between Max Butler and Mick Mayhew was a real marathon, going to 42 ends to reach a decision.

The lead changed several times before settling at 20/20 on end 28. Mick went ahead with a series of ones, to lead 29/24 and was kept scoreless for four ends before gaining the necessary two shots to win 31/28.

In Bill Elder Shield, Bob Douglass, Mary Phillips and Renate Winckel were sailing nicely for eight ends against Peter Harris, Allan Crowe and Hazel Walker but dropped seven shots on end nine, however, six shots on end 13 put them in front once more and stay there to win 23/16.

Mary Boller and Olga Jebbink , after trailing Innes Rees and Geoff Venables 4/8, won 10 ends in a row to win 18/11.

Max Povey played Swinging Lead for Keith Goodwin and Henry Speerin ( a visitor from Wagga) and for Judy Locker and Neil McGregor.

Neil’s team had slightly the better of the early ends but five shots to Henrey’s team on nine put them in front and withstood a late challenge to win 19/15.

Henrey is a member of the Wagga Rules Club, which is one of the Clubs our grade five Pennant Team will encounter in Dubbo.

Saturday’s Bowls made a start with two rinks of Social Bowls, one of Minor Pairs and one of Minor Singles but unfortunately, play was stopped by rain at 2.15 pm.

Wayne Flynn and Jack Sajina were right on target against Max Reeve and Kevin Jackson to lead 27/4 on end 15 when the rains came.

Max and Kevin apparently have conceded defeat and Wayne and Jack move into the final where they will meet Max Butler and Mike Mannile.

In Minor Singles, Ken Rees and John Vincent were having a real battle with John leading 13/12 when play stopped on end 18.

In Social Bowls, Wendy King and Daphne Buckley were leading Max Butler and Terry George (a new member and welcome to the Club) 17/8 after 14 ends whilst Renate Winckel and Mark Buckley held a 19/6 lead over Leonie Snell and Paul Cannell, also on end 14.

The Annual General Meeting of the Men’s Club will beheld at the Clubhouse on Sunday August 9 with a Sausage Sizzle to follow.

A short Duty Roster up to and including 16th August for Bowls Organiser has been drawn up with Don Jarvis being the Duty Organiser next weekend. A full roster will be drawn up following the Annual General Meeting.

A successful Fund Raising Night on Saturday night will help defray costs for players representing the Club at Dubbo in August.

The wet weather on Sunday prevented any play so all who enjoyed Saturday Night had a chance to recover.

Winter is here!

Cooma Golf report by Garry Atkinson Round one of the Winter Cup was played on Saturday in quite cool, damp conditions with 27 brave golfers out to post a good round.

Sunday brought the cold weather and snow but lucky for golfers Wednesday was a picture perfect winter’s day. It seems we’ve had all conditions this week at Cooma Golf Course but then that’s what the Winter Cup is all about!

On Saturday members played in round one of the 4BBB versus par Winter Cup event. Our winning pair on the day was Alan Kelly/Norm Marshall with a very strong +8 from three pairs on +6.

In those conditions the pairings of Young/Geach, Monday/Batten and Atkinson/Smith all posted credible scores setting the scene for a close finish to the Winter Cup next Saturday.

Nearest the pins went to Gino Cerro on the ninth and Alan Kelly on the 17th (and he sunk his birdie putt). Longest drive prizes were won by Dave

Robinson in A grade, Roy Hankinson in B grade and Tony Monday in C grade.

Sunday saw no-one out on the course (pretty sensible).

Wednesday July 8 saw a single stableford conducted with 23 golfers competing. Col Langdon won the day with a fine 39 points from Phil Amey on 37 points (on a countback). Ball winners went down to 33 points. Nearest the pin on the ninth went to Terry Johnston and the 17th was taken out by Campbell Childs.

Next Wednesday sees an individual medley stableford. On Saturday round two of the Winter Cup will be played and Sunday sees a single medley stableford.

A reminder that the Cottontails cup sheet is now up on the noticeboard for teams to enter for the Federal Golf Club visit on Sunday August 9. We will need 20 players at least folks so let’s support this traditional return visit.

See you on the greens.

Bombala High Heelers reverse result in local match The Cooma Fillies and Bombala High Heelers clashed in the local derby on Saturday with both teams looking for successful runs into the upcoming finals series and searching for bragging rights.

Having taken the points in their previous clash, the Fillies knew this would be a tough contest and that the Bombala girls would be firing on all cylinders.

The game reflected the determination of both sides not to let the other gain any ascendency and for the majority of the game, the scores were locked at nil-all.

It was only a penalty conceded by the Fillies under the posts with just minutes remaining on the clock that split the sides, with Bombala taking the game 2-0. Battling inclement weather, the contest was a testament to the commitment and fortitude of both teams and all players and coaches involved can reflect positively on their efforts.

In the first half, Cooma gained early possession after forcing a knock-on from the kick-off and immediately put the High Heelers on the back foot.

Early line breaks from Kate

Schofield, Anna Steel and Raen Brademanne were wrapped up

by Bombala’s Maree Coates, while at the other end, the defence of Georgie Clarke, Erin Donnelly and Ashleigh Steinke kept the High Heelers at bay.

The teams tested one another but were evenly matched, while handling errors from both sides prevented points being scored on multiple occasions.

As the second half rolled in and the teams were still scoreless, strong winds and rain did nothing to deter the Fillies’ enthusiasm as they surged towards Bombala’s line.

Abby Schofield led the charge, while the kicking game of Meg Bracher was unmatched.

Kristy Nicholls and Katelyn Patricks made good metres in the middle of the field for the Cooma side, but Bombala’s defence was tag-fortag with the Fillies and prevented them from penetrating the line.

Tammy Povey was explosive in attack and defence and did well to trap the Bombala girls in their own 20m on multiple occasions, supported by Louise Barron and Yasmin Williams, but in the end, it wasn’t enough to allow the Cooma team to get on top.

With just a few minutes left in the game, a penalty conceded underneath the posts provided the only scoring opportunity for the High Heelers and Maree Ingram comfortably slotted the goal to take the Bombala team

ahead 2-0, before wrapping up the game with the stalemate of attack and defence that had permeated the entire 50 minutes.

For the Fillies, one point was awarded to Erin Donnelly for a solid effort and constant support in attack; two points went to Raen Braedmanne for her line breaks and defence; 3 points was awarded to the powerful Meg Bracher and Players’ Player went to Tammy Povey whose energy and accuracy in attack

and defence spurred much of the Fillies’ efforts on Saturday.

Next week, the Fillies take on the Bega Chicks at the Cooma Showground for the Women in League round before the final series begins in a fortnight.

Stallions defeat Blue Heelers in Heritage Day match

The Stallions took on the Bombala Blue Heelers at Bombala on Saturday in a heritage round.

Bombala wore their replica premiership and Claytons cup jumpers of 1976 while the Stallion swore replica 1984 premiership jumpers.

A good crowd was on hand even though the clouds were threatening throughout. They held off and both grades were completed without too much discomfort.

The Stallions had their jumpers presented to them at the half time break in the ladies game by a hand full of explayers from the 84 squad and also by a few ex-players that made the trip.

It wasn’t long before the Stallions put their stamp on the game with a try out wide to James Boller in the second minute. The try was converted and it only took five more minutes for Matt Salvestro to capitalise on a Bombala error to cross again for the Stallions giving them a 12 nil lead after just 10 minutes.

Bombala would not go away and great lead up work from their captain coach and also good support from

Left: Liam Saunders on the burst for Cooma.

Above: the Blue Heelers in their heritage jumpers. their half saw them cross under the posts and reduce the deficit to 6 points. This would be as close as Bombala got to Cooma as the Stallions big boys were menacing the Bombala defence. Corey Thomas and Jeff Donald were unstoppable on the edges while Todd Williams, Liam Saunders, Chris Khoury and Adam Walters were punching holes up the centre.

The Stallions were dominant in the first half and after tries to Corey Thomas Mitch Hynes iand an 80 meter effort to Chris Khoury. The Stallions went to the sheds at half time leading 28 – 6.

This was similar to the first round score but this time the Stallions wanted to go on with it and after only one minute of the second half Jeff Donald scored a deserving try and

the flood gates opened. Bombala kept trying but the size and speed of the Stallions was too much to handle and tries to Adam Walters, Dean Blyton, Blaine Thomas and a double to Matt Salvestro and James Boller saw the score go out to 60 -6 at full time.

It was a good all-round effort with the best for Cooma amongst a lot of good players went to Jeff Donald and Corey Thomas.

This leaves the Stallions equal third with an inferior for and against. This week they take on Bega in the last round of the season proper in a must win game to ensure a home semi-final.

It is our Women in League Day and a nice ladies pack will be won by one of the females at the game. The Stallions take on Bega in four grades with the 18’s to start at 10:30 All four grades need a win to improve their semi positions helping them go further towards taking out their respective premierships. We hope to see a big crowd there to help the Stallions and Fillies along and also to help celebrate women in league.

Red Devils win two games from four in busy week

The Cooma Red Devils travelled to Yass on Saturday looking to improve on their last couple weeks and put three victories in a row together.

It would be a tough ask after the short turnaround of having played on Tuesday night where first grade had a convincing 59-17 and second grade lost 19-17 with a conversion from the sideline after the buzzer sealing victory for RMC. Second grade took to the field full of confidence after Tuesday’s narrow loss.

It was the first time reserve grade had travelled with a full squad and this meant that combinations were starting to come together.

From the kick off Cooma applied a pile of pressure to the Yass defence and on the back of strong runs from Adam Schubert, Matt Jamison and Josh Fraser in the forwards, Cooma was able to start attacking the Yass line. From a ruck five metres out, Eddie Thomas was able to jump out from half back and score under the posts.

Aaron Stewart was unable to convert from in front.

These early points spurred Yass into action but Cooma was able to strike again when Jakob Stewart latched onto an intercept and ran 70m to score out wide.

Eddie Thomas took over kicking duties and with the crowd heckling him and a swirling wind as the cold front moved in Eddie was able to convert from out wide to give Cooma a 12-0 lead.

Yass was able to find some field position and on the back of this were able to score a try to get back into the game.

Cooma again stepped up its intensity and after strong runs from Mitch Doyle, John Citizen and Harry Roach, Cooma found itself attacking the Yass line and Austin Willis was able to crash over under the posts.

Eddie again converted to take the lead out to 195. Yass hit back with another try to go to half time trailing 19-12 to the Devils.

After half time Cooma lost its intensity and this allowed for Yass to get right back into the game and with their strong lineout and big forwards Yass were able to roll forward and score two tries to take the lead 24-19.

Some soft defence from Cooma allowed Yass score a run away try to extend their lead to 31-19.

Cooma rallied in the last 10 minutes and applied pressure to the Yass defence but Yass’s defence held strong till the last minute when Mitch Doyle was able to offload to Harry Roach who scored in the corner.

With a missed conversion Yass ran out winners 3124. Points in second grade 1 point Matt Jameson, 2 Eddie Thomas 3 Adam Schubert and Players player Josh Fraser.

here Pat Egan was able to find his way to the try line again to give him his second double in the past two games.

Morgan again converted to continue his good form with the boot. Cooma went to half time leading 21-7 but knew that Yass would hit back as they had already come from behind to beat Cooma once this year.

Good defence from Jake Mcilvenny, Seth Robinson and Phil Johnson stopped many of Yass’s attacking raids in the second half and it was this good defence that was keeping Yass at bay.

Mid way through the second half Yass were able to score

another converted try to narrow the margin to 21-14.

This made for a gripping last 15 minutes as both sides tried hard to score more points but Cooma held on for a 21-14 victory and their first away win of the season.

Points in first grade 1 point were shared between Jimmy Nichols and Chris De Rooy, 2 Tom Ladhams, 3 Ryan Morgan and Players player was Jake Mcilvenny.

BADGE DRAWS

First grade First grade took to the field on Saturday afternoon after running into some form in the past few weeks and with the Gordon Litchfield golden boot trophy on the line, Cooma were looking for their first away game win of the season.

Cooma started with great intensity and for the first 15 minutes of the game applied great pressure to the Yass line but Yass defended stoutly and repelled many of the attacking raids that Cooma were throwing at them.

Strong runs from Tom Ladhams, Ryan Morgan and Ben Scott had Cooma getting over the advantage line.

From a Yass mistake 10m out from their own line Cooma had a scrum and from number eight Pat Egan picked the ball up and drifted across field before straightening and crashing through the defence to score.

Ryan Morgan converted to give the Red Devils a 7-0 lead.

Cooma was able to extend its lead ten minutes later after the forwards were able to get a good roll on and after attacking out wide Chris De Rooy was able to crash his way through the defence and score, Morgan again converted to give Cooma a 14-0 lead.

Yass rallied and with some good field position were able to hit back with a try of their own after a rolling maul from five metres out were able to break through the Cooma defence and score.

Cooma again lifted its intensity and strong runs from Jimmy Nichols, Andrew Rolfe and James Strange got Cooma back into the Yass half and from

Cooma’s rugby superstar, Tayla Stanford has been selected to train with the Wallaroos, Australia’s national women’s rugby team, in preparation for the 2017 World Cup. Tayla has been playing rugby since she was a junior and last year competed overseas for the first time in the Youth Olympic Games in China.

In 2017, Tayla will celebrate her 21st birthday. A trip to Ireland with the Wallaroos will be a great way to seal a good year.

The 40-women squad will be training regularly with a camp set for late August at the Gold Coast.

As well as training, the girls will also play a few test matches.

For Tayla, her already high motivation will be going into overdrive as she tries to maintain her current high fitness levels and lift these in anticipation of a trip to Ireland, Tayla is working at Anytime Fitness Gym in Cooma, studying to become personal trainer.

She is also working as an aged carer at the Sir William Hudson Memorial Centre.

Tayla is understandably very excited by the prospect of again representing her country.
