The NSW Government has yet again made a change in the criteria for the Fit For the Future (FFTF) scheme. The application to be submitted by local governments by June 30 was originally required to be a 10-year plan, setting out how the council intended on achieving the FFTF benchmarks.

This was then scaled back to only five years, making the achievements virtually impossible for our local Bombala, Snowy

River Shire and Cooma-Monaro councils.

It also required the councils to recalculate all the work they had done on the basis of the original 10-year provision.

However, as discussed in last Tuesday’s Snowy River Delivery and Operations Committee meeting, it has now been released by the State Government that our local councils are classed as Regional, and therefore are given a 10year timeframe to achieve the FFTF

Unfortunately this means that the local councils have wasted time putting together frameworks for the five-year timeframe. Working to an already very tight schedule, councillors are frustrated with the rushed process that has been forced upon them by NSW, particularly due to the significant impact the outcome will have on the community.

Cool head saved young pilot “So Much to Love – Love to Shop� success

Pictured above, the Jabiru after the forced landing near Khancoban. Below, Stacey Gibbs.

On the afternoon of Wednesday June 10, Stacey Gibb departed Jindabyne Randall Community Aerodrome (JRCA) on a routine training flight in a Jabiru J120C two seat trainer aircraft.

Stacey is a 16-year-old student pilot with Alpine Aviation Australia based at JRCA and has flown solo on several occasions. This solo was a repeat of an earlier exercise that he had completed successfully.

On covering all aspects of the air exercise, he followed his brief and took up a heading that he determined would bring him back over the JRCA, making a radio call to that effect, received by his instructor at the airfield supervising his flight.

Unfortunately, some unexpected weather conditions made it difficult for him to see if he was on track for the airfield and he deviated from the correct heading and failed to arrive overhead as expected.

His instructor attempted to contact him on the radio to determine his position and offer advice as necessary. As it transpired, Stacey’s heading took him behind a range of high ground that intervened with radio transmissions and contact could not be re-established.

When familiar landmarks failed to appear ahead, Stacey became disorientated. He attempted to call his instructor and also made emergency calls on the correct frequency, without receiving any response, thus increasing his anxiety.

This disorientation ultimately led him to stray a long way from his home base.

In the meantime, after several unsuccessful attempts at communication, his instructor became concerned over his safety and put in a call to Canberra Search and Rescue who dispatched the Rescue Helicopter to his last known location near Dalgety.

In failing light and with concerns over his fuel reserves, Stacey made several attempts to land on a highway but traffic forced him to abort each time.

With darkness fast approaching, he decided on an alternative landing site that was a farm access road.

He successfully landed on the narrow gravel surface, avoiding power lines, trees, residences and erosion gullies.

He carried out a good landing but was unlucky in that his left wing tip snagged a fence that dragged him around into the wire, bringing the aircraft to an abrupt halt. This caused considerable damage to the

undercarriage and wings.

However, there was no damage to the main fuselage, bearing witness to the excellent design and strength of the Jabiru mainframe.

Stacey climbed out unharmed but somewhat shaken by his ordeal. He walked to a nearby B & B residence and phoned his parents back at Jindabyne to let them know that he was safe.

Search and Rescue were informed and recalled the Rescue Helicopter.

His instructor, Martin Hughes, and his parents, accompanied by a friend of the family, drove down to Khancoban to collect him and bring him back home to Jindabyne. The aircraft was recovered by road to Jindabyne on Friday.

Martin Hughes was relieved to hear that Stacey had maintained his composure under very trying circumstances, recalled his training and landed the aircraft safely without causing any injuries to himself or others.

Mr Hughes said Stacey should justly feel very proud of his achievement.

The Cooma Chamber of Commerce are excited about the success of the launch of the “Love to Shop� campaign which was held on Saturday June 6.

The main driver for this campaign was to encourage visitors to stop in town and for locals to shop local.

President of the Cooma Chamber of Commerce Kathy Kelly, said, “Town was alive on the Saturday of the long weekend with the opening of the ski season and the launch of our Love to Shop campaign. I spoke to a number of visitors who stopped in Cooma who said they didn’t normally do so. The initial feedback has been fantastic with 95% of retailers happy with the results from the day. One retailer advised they doubled what they did last year and contributed a lot of that result to the campaign.�

The Cooma Chamber of Commerce will hold a meeting with the participating retailers to measure the result and decide whether to hold another “Love to Shop� campaign in

the July school holidays. “It’s important to gather evidence and measure results to make sure we understand how successful the campaign was and we will be talking with the retailers about this in the coming couple of weeks� Kathy said.

The “Love to Shop� campaign is part of the wider “So Much to Love� campaign based on evidence gathered from Cooma Shire’s Taskforce Report. “The Cooma Chamber has had a spike in membership from the launch of this campaign, which we are really happy about. We expect momentum to continue with the June launch of the free public Wi-Fi in the CBD, which is available to all retailers in the CBD, however only Chamber members will be able to advertise on the launch page� Kathy said.

Now is the time to join the Cooma Chamber of Commerce.

Cooma Rotary Club gives back to community Cooma Rotary club has recently donated $14,500 in street seating to the Cooma-Monaro Community.

The seats complement the new-look roundabouts in Sharp Street and have been installed by Cooma-Monaro Shire Councils recreation services staff.

On Thursday last week, the

seats were officially presented to the town.

The money for the seats was raised through Rotary’s monthly markets and were donated by the club which wanted to give something back to the community which supports the club.

Pictured, Cooma Rotary president-elect, Peter Davis tries out one of the new seats with publicity officer Margaret Hassall. Cooma-Monaro Mayor Dean Lynch and council’s recreational services manager Ross Lawley gave the project the thumbs-up.

Everybody’s doing it...

General Manager, JOE VESCIO

Celebrating the Monaro in book form Pictured at the inaugural meeting to get the book project happening are Arts and Culture Committee chairman, Cr Craig Mitchell, Cherie Booker, Franz De Ruitjer and Trisha Dixon.

Fit For The Future (FFTF) IPART (Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal) has been asked by the NSW Government to make assessments on Councils FFTF submissions.

On Friday, 5 June IPART released an amended Assessment Methodology and we are very pleased to see that we now have 10 years to achieve our benchmarks as opposed to 5 years which is what we were originally lead to believe. This is a significant change and will reduce the burden on rate payers by increasing the period available to Council to meet the benchmarks.

We have also received a strong response to our telephone survey that was conducted over the past week. Households were contacted across the shire and we received a total of 404 responses. The data is being analysed however, from initial assessment it would appear that once again, the majority of the community supports Council’s business case to stand alone. Telephone surveys are another medium used to collect data and we truly value the information you have provided.

I thank everyone for your participation and contributions provided throughout all areas of the Fit for the Future process. Council is now working very hard on finalising our submission and it is our intention that it will be presented at the June Council meeting for endorsement.

Cooma-Monaro Shire Council’s Art and Culture Committee is preparing to produce a special edition coffee table book to celebrate the Monaro.

The book will include images of life on the Monaro, including people, animals, the natural environment and the built environment.

Committee chairman, Cr Craig Mitchell, said the committee would soon invite contribution of images from the general

public. Photographs can be of the areas within the three local government areas of Cooma, Bombala and Snowy River Shire.

Local newspapers will work with the committee to help gather the photographs.

Each week The Monaro Post will advise readers of the theme the committee wants for that time.

The photographs needs to be accompanied by a few words explaining the photograph – where it was taken, why

it was taken, and what it means.

The winners of the most captivating image will feature in a 100-plus page coffee table book that will have a limited edition and will feature in various official places to promote the Monaro.

For guidelines and terms and conditions, please visit the Facebook page ‘Monaro in Pictures Book Project’, purchase the Monaro Post or email monaroinpictures@ gmail.copm for further information.

SRSC responds to social media comments Not only were the roads and towns busy, but so was social media over the June long weekend.

We heard you! The issues raised on Facebook created quite a discussion and we feel it appropriate to respond.

Public Toilets: Snowy River Shire Council’s public toilets at both Banjo Paterson Park and the Claypits are closed from 6.30pm each evening and re-open at 5am each day. The public toilets in the town centre remain open 24 hours of each day. The decision for the overnight closures of the two park facilities was made when a significant amount of expense was being incurred due to vandalism and general destruction of the facilities. What happened over the weekend has indicated that even with these measures, there are still people who do not respect the provision of public infrastructure.

Councils has been advised that as usual on Saturday morning June 6 at 5am the Banjo Paterson Park toilets were opened and cleaned. At 9am the toilets were checked again and it was found that someone had trashed, defecated and made a big mess of the toilets. They were cleaned up as best as possible but the water had frozen so for safety reasons the toilets were locked before being checked again and re-opened at 2pm.

HIGH COUNTRY OUTFITTERS 3./79 -/5.4!).3 s !5342!,)!

The Banjo Paterson Park toilets were opened as per usual Sunday and Monday.

Council has taken the feedback from the community and will be investigating the purchase of signage to alert members of the public when the facilities are out of order to prevent the misconception that Council have neglected to open the toilets.

Parking Enforcement: the SRSC Ranger will continue to have a presence in Jindabyne each weekend.

On Saturday a number of warning notices were placed on vehicles who were not complying with parking requirements.

However any person that parked in a bus zone or no stopping area was fined immediately.

Council will continue to enforce parking restrictions particularly during the winter season and drivers are urged to obey the restrictions as sign-posted.

Council makes no apology for enforcement during our peak seasons as this is a response to repeated concerns from shopkeepers, residents and patrons for the smooth flow of parking for access to all retail areas in Jindabyne.

Young men arrested in Jindabyne About 11.55pm on Saturday, June 13, Jindabyne Police attended a hotel in Jindabyne where they saw a group of intoxicated males in the bar area after they had been excluded from the hotel.

Police spoke with a 22-yearold male from Aranda in the ACT who refused to leave the hotel when directed by Police. He was arrested and attempts made to place him in the back of a police truck. At this time the male is alleged to have grabbed a police officer and a struggle took place, but eventually restrained.

He was taken to Jindabyne Police Station where he was charged with Assault Police, Resist Arrest and Excluded Person remain in Vicinity of Licensed Premises.

He was bailed to appear at the Cooma Local Court on August 18.

Shortly before 1am on Sunday, June 14, Jindabyne Police attended another hotel in the township in relation to an

intoxicated male who had been refused service by staff and had allegedly assaulted a male security officer.

The 22-year-old male from Vincentia was arrested and later charged with Assault and Excluded Person Re-enter Premises. He was bailed to appear at the Cooma Local Court on August 18.

Over the weekend Jindabyne Police issued another four infringements notices to people who refused to leave licensed premises when, due to their level of intoxication, were told to leave by hotel staff. Each of these people received a fine of $550 for Fail to Quit Licensed Premises.

Cooma fire rescue attended a fire at the Tourist Café on Sharp Street at 1.30pm on Sunday.

A fire was started in the kitchen between the deep fryer and the wall. Cooma fire fighters extinguished the small fire with a fire blanket and a CO2 extinguisher. No one was injured

and the building was ventilated after the fire was extinguished.

Rural Fire Services attended a small bushfire on a property at Anembo off Jerangle Road on Saturday. The Cooma and Lake George crews extinguished the one-hectare fire, the cause of which is still being investigated.

Rural Fire Services would like to encourage property owners to notify their neighbours and fire control when planning a burn off and to ensure you have boundary controls in place.

RFS were also doing some hazard reduction burns at Rocky Plain over the weekend, causing some smoke over the Berridale area. There was also a small hazard reduction in Michelago on Sunday.

Cooma and Jindabyne had combined training in Berridale over the weekend. The theme was ‘working at height’ and 24 fire fighters took part. The main focus was major storm damage practices.

Students share CUC experiences As Semester Two enrolments open for the Bachelor or Education Degree open through the Cooma Universities Centre we caught up with a few of our local students to check in on their first semester experience.

DOT BELJKOVIC A city girl with a finance background found herself in Cooma when her husband’s work bought them here. ‘With one semester down I have to say that I have enjoyed the study more than I ever expected’ says Dot. ‘The surprise for me has been the connections I have made through the CUC, it has been a wonderful way of connecting with the local community.

‘I have always had an interest in children and now that we are expecting our first child I thought it was a great time to study in this area. I couldn’t be happier with how the first semester went and I’m looking forward to becoming a Mum and re-commencing the degree early next year’, Dot said.

MICHELLE MITCHELL Busy mother of three Michelle had always had been intending to study education and it was the option of studying for her degree in Cooma that saw her take the step. ‘I had thought about doing this for a long time and I would still be thinking about it if it wasn’t for CUC. I’ve just handed in my final assignment for semester one and it feels great’, she says. ‘It was tough getting started and finding the time to study initially and now I am really enjoyed the challenge. The girls are really excited about it too, now my girls and I study and do homework together’.

Anyone interested in starting an education degree in semester two is invited to contact Zoe at the Cooma Universities Centre at 38 Bombala Street.

Post colonial art exhibition An exhibition of post colonial works by two Cooma artists - Gillian Jenkins and Kate Litchfield - opens on Saturday June 27 at the Raglan.

Kate Litchfield studied at the National Art School 1997-2000, where she majored in printmaking.

In 2014 Kate exhibited in the group photographic exhibition â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at the Raglan. She has also held two very successful solo exhibitions there: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Left on the Plateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (2002) and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Glass Onionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (2012).

Kateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work in this collaboration has been an intensely personal journey.

It explores her long love affair with The Brothers, the 100 million year old smooth, rounded mountains on the Monaro which she finds haunt, intrigue and seduce her.

Connected through ancestors who settled the land in the 1800s, Kate also feels the presence of the Ngarigo people who knew the landscape 15,000 years before colonisation.

The treeless surface reflects the ever changing light of the seasons and The Brothers also remind the artist of an enormous, peaceful reclining female figure.

Kate describes her works on paper for this exhibition as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;an exercise in meditation, observation and connection, a journey for my soulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Gillian Jenkins, whose work features regularly in the Raglanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major exhibitions, holds a B.A. in Fine Arts and an M.A. in Art Education and Therapy.

She has exhibited extensively throughout Adelaide and Sydney, where she contributed to many community projects in the inner metropolitan area.

From the mid 1990s to 2005, she

organised the annual Sydney Central Mental Health art/writing exhibitions held at the NSW Writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Centre.

The Centre is located in the grounds of Rozelle Psychiatric Hospital where Gillian was working.

Gillian describes herself as an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;issues based artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and prefers to work with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;low browâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; techniques in some cases using found materials to construct her images.

The Raglan occasionally receives small bundles of used butcherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bags to be passed on for her work. She enjoys exhibiting in alternative spaces, artist run spaces as well as commercial galleries for the lively atmosphere and interactivity.

Her current exploration of post colonialism explores the legacy of the colonial mind-set which sees the landscape and its resources in terms of exploitation. As an artist, Gillian is driven to find space to explore these ideas within a forum of intellectual discussion.

Most of Gillianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drawings will be displayed as an installation to provide the sense of an aerial perspective of the way we pass through the landscape of the town, particularly its margins.

She finds in this a long echo of the seasonal journeys Indigenous people made through the Monaro to the coast.

This exhibition is the beginning of a series of shows Gillian is planning to undertake with other artists to explore the identity of Cooma Monaro and the influences upon it.

The exhibition opens at 3pm Saturday June 27 and continues until July 11.

BOMBALA COUNCIL GENERAL MANAGER: Ms Ngaire McCrindle With the recent string of heavy frosts the control of serrated tussock becomes much easier. The frosts bleach the tussock plants to a lighter shade than the native Poa tussock making the identification of the noxious serrated tussock plant much easier. That coupled with the often glorious days that follow a big frost make for ideal conditions to spot spray the tussock plants.

Build in a picnic up the paddock and everybody wins!! For further information on plant identification or control measures please contact Council’s noxious weeds officer, Colin Groves on 64583555.

On the subject of weather and safety, motorists are reminded to drive to conditions, particularly around the various roadworks currently being undertaken on a number of town streets in Bombala and Delegate, roads in the area and the Monaro Highway.

The Bombala library recently launched a facebook page to assist our community to access all that the library has to offer. One of the first successes of the new page was the recent hosting of Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea at the library, which was very well attended. Further events and library information will be available on the Bombala library facebook page.

Due to popular demand from the Delegate area Council has decided to undertake one further community consultation on the Fit for the Future process at the Delegate Country Club on Thursday 18 June at 6.30pm. Residents in our southern areas are encouraged to attend this meeting on the future of Bombala Council.

As a final reminder the Integrated Planning and Reporting documents – Community Strategic Plan, Delivery Program Operation Plan, Long Term Financial Plan etc. are also available for comment on Council’s website www.bombala.nsw.gov.au until 24 June.

During Term two Cooma North Preschool and Cooma North Public School have been collaborating on a literacy program.

Classes from the Cooma North School 1Q, 2T, 2F and 3F take it in turns every Tuesday to visit the Preschool and participate in experiences that enhance literacy development and foster a love of reading for both groups of children.

They are also building important relationships which will support the pre-schoolers transition to school and support the school children to develop key literacy concepts.

One of our projects with 2F has been writing and illustrating books to share with each other.

First we wrote a list of story ideas we were

interested in and over a 4 week period we wrote our stories.

2F visited us last Tuesday and we read our books to each other. 2F children got together in pairs to create their stories and the pre-schoolers from the Tuesday group wrote one story to present.

The pre-schoolers were really engaged in creating their story, using great imagination to think up the storyline to their book “Rainbow Unicorn”.

The school children have really enjoyed working together to create stories to interest the preschoolers.

Both groups are getting a lot out of this partnership, working together to explore the learning potential of this project.

MAG’s Winter Exhibition The Monaro Art Group will open its Winter Exhibition at the Little Gallery, Hain Centre, Cooma, at 3pm on Friday June 19.

The opening will include a warm welcome to all and an opportunity to meet local artist Lucy Culliton who has agreed to judge this year’s exhibition.

The Monaro Art Group was formed in the early days of the Snowy Mountains Scheme.

It now has about 80 members whose outstanding art works have won many awards locally and outside of the Snowy Mountains areas.

Along with the group’s dedicated artists and volunteers, Diana Klima has been the driving force behind the art group that fosters and shows the talents of our local artists.

FRIDAY SPIRIT SPECIAL & COCKTAIL NIGHT

3 bundy cans 3 for $25

This year’s annual pilgrimage to the south-east of NSW by Sydney Conservatorium of Music students will bring them to Cooma on Wednesday evening June 24.

There are five young performers for the 2015 Great Southern Tour, playing bassoon, clarinet, flute, French horn and oboe.

Levi Johnson began playing French horn when he was nine, and completed his secondary studies at Sydney Conservatorium before embarking on his tertiary studies there last year.

Breeanna Moore’s love of traditional Irish music led her to take up flute at the age of 16; since then she has studied and performed in Queensland, Tasmania and NSW. Hamish Spicer has sung with the Sydney Philharmonic Choir however his Diploma of Music majors in baroque oboe and he is currently principle oboist of the Sydney Conservatorium Early Music Ensemble.

Rachel Thompson is an awardwinning clarinet player, whose passion is to inspire young children

to love music as she does.

As well as studying and performing bassoon in a number of ensembles, Liam Webb is an international businessman and church musician.

Accompanying and mentoring the students is David Miller, AM, pianist and chamber musician.

To be able to see and hear performers of this calibre is a warming delight on a cold winter’s night.

The Great Southern Tour provides the opportunity for discerning audiences to enjoy excellent music and the chance for budding young musicians to see what is possible in their near future.

Experience this music next Wednesday at 7:30pm at St Paul’s Anglican Parish Hall in Commissioner Street, Cooma.

Tickets are available at The Fabric Salon in Cooma as well as at the door: Adults, $20; Concessions, $15; Arts Council members $10; and children and students are free.

Supper is included.

Monaro High School celebrates NAIDOC Day Monaro High students enjoyed a hands-on celebration of Aboriginal culture on Friday. Participating in spear and boomerang throwing, smoking ceremonies, hand painting, dreamtime stories and bush tucker tasting, there was plenty to learn and experience.

NAIDOC is the National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee and NAIDOC Week is celebrated in the first week of July every year to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Warren Saunders Gunggari came to the school to help the students with boomerang throwing techniques. “It’s great to see the

kids having fun,” he said, “Showing them these sorts of activities is an important way of keeping the culture alive and remembered.”

Taking a trip out to Lambie Gorge, the students were given a walking tour on which they experienced some dreamtime stories, bush tucker lessons and shown sites that are of particular significance to the history of the local Aboriginal community.

Principal Adrian Bell said that as the future generation, educating the students about the acceptance of the Aboriginal culture is an important part of the day.

“We are trying to focus more on acceptance rather

than tolerance,” he says, “We are all one people as Australians and everywhere in this country is sacred ground. Today is all about teaching the kids respect and how to embrace other cultures.”

Forgetfulness leads Zac to public speaking semi-finals in Canberra An entertaining speech about forgetfulness has won 11-year-old Zac Corcoran from Jindabyne Central School (JCS) a berth at the Rostrum public speaking semi-final in Canberra where he will represent the Snowy Mountains region.

Zac surprised even himself when he was announced winner at Thursday night’s regional quarter finals held at the Cooma Ex-Services Club, ahead of speakers from every other school in the Snowy Mountains area.

“It was quite nerve wracking seeing everyone else give their speech,” the Year Six student said.

“I thought some of the other speakers were stronger than me and I was really surprised when I got first.”

Zac delivered a light hearted speech

about his forgetfulness, a trait that drives his mother crazy.

He concluded that if he could fix his forgetfulness it would help solve some of the world’s problems, like reducing pollution emissions by not having to drive those extra kilometres to retrieve all the things he forgets.

Zac faced some tough competition from his JCS peers to earn his berth at the quarter finals in Cooma.

Year Five students Patrick Broe and Alexandra Fairfield-Smith tied for second place at the JCS finals with their speeches on how to fix world problems and sheep respectively while Year Three student Piper Harding came third with her crowdpleasing speech on light.

Patrick was a guest speaker at the quarter-finals in Cooma.

Zac will now deliver his speech at the Rostrum semi-finals to be held at Garran Primary School in

The thousands of students across NSW and the ACT competing in the Rostrum public speaking competition were this year given six topics to choose from which to write their speeches.

The topics were The Anzacs, Light, Sheep, The best things about my home are…, If I could fix… and Life before TV. At JCS, every student from Years Three through to Six wrote their own speech and delivered it to their class.

Each class winner then spoke in front of the their year group, with the most outstanding speaker progressing to the JCS final where they spoke in front of the whole primary school.

POST & RAIL

Wednesday June 17, 2015

the

postman calls

The Postman allowed himself time to sit for a cuppa on Sunday and, to pass the time, turned on the telly.

An interesting movie was showing“One Million Years BC” – it was quite educational.

The Postman isn’t an archeologist, so he was interested to see that a million years ago, early humans had not only discovered fire, but had invented possibly the first pit roast and wore slivers of animal skins for clothing (They were certainly only slivers, because there were a lot of semi-bare buttocks on display).

According to the script, ginormous Galapagos iguanas roamed the land, trying to gum to death the early humans.

Not only iguanas, but these ancestors of ours were terrified of what appeared to be a brontosaurus. Who would have ever thought vegetarians could be so frightening?

The Postman is just grateful that the dialogue in the movie was merely a series of grunts and people hitting each other with sticks and rocks.

It is doubtful the movie made a motza at the box office, but it was certainly good for a laugh! We could pass on the sequel, however!

headspace help for young men in Men’s Health Week Live info session - Supporting young men in seeking help - Thursday June 18 from 5-6pm AEST Young men are being urged to take advantage of a free, online info session run by headspace during Men’s Health Week where they can anonymously ask for support or advice about their health and wellbeing.

The eheadspace live info session on Thursday, June 18 from 5pm AEST provides an open forum for young men across Australia to ask any questions relating to their general, physical, mental and sexual health.

Headspace has also released a video for young men on tips for a healthy headspace featuring Hawthorn Football Club’s Matt Spangher, Victorian Bushranger’s cricketer Aaron Ayre, former AFL player Simon Hogan, as well as headspace ambassadors Nick Bracks and James Mason and youth advocate Nick Pearce.

Men’s Health Week is from 15 to 21 June and is about Australian individuals, families and communities reflecting on the state of male health and wellbeing.

Now a community engagement advisor with headspace, Simon Hogan said Men’s Health Week is an ideal opportunity to encourage young men to ask for help if they’re going through a tough time.

“Young men are three times more likely to commit suicide than women and twice as likely to have drug and alcohol problems as compared to women; however they are less likely to seek help,” he said.

“Young men can find it difficult to get help for a range of reasons such

as not knowing where to start, feeling embarrassed to ask for help or not being comfortable with face-to-face support.

“Sometimes it’s hard to know what to say. If you’re not sure you’re ready to get help in person the live info session might be a good place to start. “eheadspace provides a safe environment where all young people can ask a professional for support or advice about something that’s on their mind in a totally anonymous environment.”

The headspace video has been developed to help encourage young men to look after their mental health and seek help when they need it.

“The video shows young men that it’s ok to talk about their situation and to find support – whether it’s their friends, family or a professional,” Simon Hogan said.

Live info session - Supporting young men in seeking help The eheadspace live info session will provide general advice and support online from headspace GP Dr Claudio Villella, headspace mental health professionals, and headspace Youth National Reference Group members.

The web chat is open to the public and no registration is necessary. The interactive session operates as a Q&A and participants can ask questions anonymously and read the questions and answers of others.

Please note: Any information or advice given during the live info session is not meant to and cannot take the place of a clinical consultation with a GP or other doctor.

Cooma Catering is more than just great food Come for the food, stay for the friendly faces. The Cooma Ex-Services Club is an important part of our local community, and the delicious food provided by Cooma Catering is one of its biggest attractions.

The main man responsible for this is Alex Harvey, who has recently stepped up to take on the operation by himself.

Passionate about food, Alex has worked in kitchens since the age of 14. When one of his mates working at the Marlborough Motel got sick, Alex offered to fill in for him and has never looked back. Getting his apprenticeship at the Cooma Hotel and working in a Chinese restaurant as well as the Alpine Hotel, Alex has plenty of local experience under his toque blanche (chef hat).

In partnership with Rob and Kay Webel, Alex launched A&R Catering in March of 2012, moving into the Club kitchen just before the big renovations took place. The renovations created a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and with a new menu, Alex and the team have made sure that the Club is one of the best places to go for a meal in town. In fact, as Alex says, the Club is a great spot for a night out. “There’s always something happening”, Alex says. “People can come in for the raffles, there’s often entertainment like a band or karaoke, and big giveaways like cars and holidays. The meals are huge and the drinks are cheap; it really is the place to be”.

If you’re a bit of a sweet tooth, you’ll be excited about Alex’s future plan for the menu. Alex wants to put more of a focus on desserts, making the club a great place to end your night. With his Certificate 3

in Patisserie, there are sure to be some delicious treats up on the menu board soon.

For Alex, the Cooma Ex-Services Club feels like home. His grandfather Titch worked at the Club for over 20 years, and sat on the board of directors for many years after that. Alex’s grandmother Sylvia worked in the kitchen, and his father Peter has also worked at the Club, making Alex the third generation of Harveys to roam the kitchens.

With his 11 year old son Jack waiting in the wings, Alex hopes to make it four.

Alex says the most challenging part of his job is the hours. “Having to work weekends means time away from my family, which can be hard,” he says, “But apart from that, I love everything else about being a chef. I love the creativity and the rush you get on Come down to the Cooma Ex-Services Club for the great food and atmosphere provided by the always happy Cooma Catering team headed by Alex Harvey a busy night of service. I also really love the community here. You get to know the regulars really well, and everyone is always happy to stop for a chat.”

It’s not just the customers that ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss Alex has a good relationship with.

He and his team of about 15 staff Mention or bring this ad in to members get on like a house on receive a second meal for fire. “I have a really great team. half price.

Without them, this just simply The lesser value meal is to receive wouldn’t be possible,” he says, 50% off.

“We all work really well together, sssssssssssssssssss and we have a good laugh while we’re at it.”

Alex said they are also keen to take on more functions, so for your next birthday, anniversary, wedding or reunion, think of Cooma Catering and give Alex a call on 6452 1144.

Peak Festival comes to JCS

SIR WILLIAM HUDSON

MEMORIAL CENTRE AGED CARE FACILITY

When a relative or friend becomes a resident in SWHMC it can be a daunting experience adjusting to new surroundings and routines. Your family member may be comfortable to make the move, but you may have reservations, or vice versa, and these are all perfectly normal feelings.

Sandra Wassink is the co-ordinator of the support group for carers, family and friends of residents of the Nursing Home. On the first Thursday of each month the group meets in the Board Room between 10-12pm with no obligation or commitment to stay for the entire time. The group’s main objective is to give support and help each other when needed, all emotions are welcomed, and are expected. Obviously all conversations are confidential and everyone who attends are encouraged to adopt a “speak freely” attitude. The content of each meeting depends entirely on the group and the issues that are most needed to be discussed at the time, all in a caring and welcoming environment.

Sandra liaises with Verity Jackson from Alzheimer’s Australia, and is also continuing her own studies through them. Although the meetings are not only for family of Dementia or Alzheimer residents, if you do have a resident with dementia and feel that you may need help with coping strategies please drop in and have a chat.

SWHMC relatives and residents also have regular monthly afternoon meetings where new ideas or improvements can be suggested in an open forum. If you do not have our calendar of dates please contact Tracey or Rose. The August meeting will be held in the evening with lovely hot soup and our Chef’s amazing sausage rolls.

We are in need of more volunteers to assist with our programs. If you know anyone who is interested in becoming a volunteer our training days are being held this month. Please contact Varelle Carlson at SWHMC and she will be able to give you more information on what is involved.

Holiday

y a w a t e g dream d up e p p a r w l l a

Are you a lover of trivia? Our residents have embraced the new activity of evening trivia with a passion and are meeting each night before dinner in the dining room.

The first few evenings only attracted a couple of participants, but soon word was out on how much fun trivia can be, and now it is a great group who enjoy the daily challenges of trying to answer all of the quiz masters questions.

The questions are varied and all of the players are happy to join in and try to get their grey matter working. There are often many humorous moments when the answer is on the tip of someone’s tongue but refuses to “fall off”. If you have a resident who is playing trivia in the evening, you are more than welcome to join in the fun. Trivia is played every evening in the main dining room at 5pm.

SWHMC welcomes five new residents and sadly farewells Nancy Bourke and Ken Bond. We also farewell Siegfied Muller who has transferred to a Hostel closer to his family

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

INTEREST RATES DROP AGAIN!

Good news for home buyers, with the Reserve Bank cutting the official interest rate at the May meeting, by .25%.

With interest rates at a record low, now is a great time to look at buying your first home. If you don’t think you would be eligible, I can help you with a FREE assessment of your situation, and advise you of your options. If you aren’t ready yet to buy, I can help you understand what you would need to make it happen.

There are different options, with the use of family guarantees, or mortgage insurance, and I can help you understand what these entail.

For investors, you could be getting a better return on an investment property, rather than cash based investments. To help you look at your investment strategies, I can introduce you to Damian Toms, a senior financial planner. With many years experience, he can give you advice based on your specific circumstances.

I can also help with a FREE review of your existing loan. Whether you want to see if there is a better option for you, or look at what you could do with your equity, I am happy to spend the time with you.

Whatever your finance needs, please give me a call on mobile 0431 351 873 to arrange an appointment.

On a huge 1707 Sqm parcel of land mostly at the rear of the home provides a beautifully private & well established area for families with appealing trees & orchards as well as entertaining areas.

2015 Tax Time Tax time editorial – Talk to the experts As the end of another financial year approaches it is an opportune time to review your finances and ensure that you have in place strategies to maximise your long-term wealth.

“This is where a good accountant is invaluable” says Kathy Kelly, a Director with well-known local accounting firm Boyce Chartered Accountants.

“We take responsibility to ensure that you have in place strategies to maximise your taxation outcome both in the current year and beyond to ensure that you are not paying more tax than necessary” said Mrs Kelly.

The May 2015 budget contained some expected and some unexpected tax changes. Expected was the tax cut for small businesses. Small business entities trading in company structures will have their tax rate lowered from 30% to 28.5% from 1 July 2015. Dividends coming from those companies to their owners will still be franked at 30%. Mrs Kelly was delighted with this component of the proposal “I was very concerned small business would have their tax credits locked up and they could then be out of pocket with the tax gap when they take out dividends from their company. This measure protects the individuals who have retained profits in their company to date.”

Added to this, eligible small businesses will be given a 5% tax discount on income from unincorporated small business activity from the 2015-16 income year. This will be provided in the form of a tax offset and capped at $1,000 per individual.

Potentially of greater importance are the wider changes to the tax legislation which have changed the tax-planning environment significantly in the current year. The legislative changes herald some additional good news for small businesses. Those with turnover of less than $2 million may

be eligible to qualify for an immediate write-off of capital items with a purchase price of up to $20,000 excluding GST (up from $1,000). This can mean many multiples of

capital items as it is not limited to $20,000 in total. Capital items don’t just mean plant it can also extend to some long life assets such as sheds. The items must have been purchased after 12 May 2015. The measure is expected

to continue until 30 June 2017. Those small businesses operating with pooled assets will take an immediate deduction for the balance of the pool once it falls below $20,000.

There are also some changes for farmers to be aware of. Initially the changes announced in the budget were to apply from 1 July 2016. However a concern for slowing economies in rural areas has seen the government announce that it will bring the concessions forward to budget night, being 12 May 2015. Primary Producers can now claim outright deductions on capital expenditure on the cost of new fencing and water facilities such as dams, tanks, bores, irrigation channels, pumps, water towers and windmills. Added to this, they can also claim over three years the cost of fodder storage assets such as silos and tanks used to store grain and other animal feed.

It is noted that the changes announced in the budget have not yet been legislated however the opposition have indicated they will not oppose the measures to assist small business.

Boyce Chartered Accountants has been assisting small and medium sized businesses in the Cooma region for more than 42 years. Their highly qualified team has wide experience in tax planning, business consulting, superannuation, financial planning, audit and all facets of management accounting.

“Our ultimate aim is to increase the profitability of our clients’ businesses and maximise their long-term wealth”, said Mrs Kelly.

2015 Tax Time

Depreciation for farmers brought forward Australian farmers can now claim a tax deduction on all capital expenditure on water facilities, fodder storage assets and fencing incurred since the 2015 Budget was handed down at 7:30pm on 12 May. Farmers can fully deduct the cost of water facilities and fencing in the year they are purchased and deduct the cost of fodder storage assets over three years.

Australian small businesses got a boost on Budget night being able to immediately claim accelerated depreciation on business assets costing up to $20,000.

Farms with turnover of less than $2 million qualify as a small business and are therefore also eligible to immediately write-off all asset purchases up to $20,000.

Following broad consultation, stakeholders told us they

wanted to get on with building fences, dams and fodder storage as soon as possible.

Our decision to bring forward the start date of accelerated depreciation for all farmers, regardless of the size of their farm, allows them to prepare for drought and invest in the productivity of their farms immediately.

The measure builds on our more than $333 million in targeted support for farmers and communities impacted by drought announced by the Prime Minister on 9, May in Longreach, Queensland, taking the Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total commitments to farmers in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget to more than $400 million.

Supporting farmers in the hard times and boosting the competitiveness of the agriculture sector is not just good

for the economy, it is also the right thing to do.

Bringing forward these changes to begin from 1 July 2016 to 12 May 2015 is estimated to cost $72 million over the forward estimates.

Further measures to support farmers who are preparing themselves for the damaging effects of drought will be announced in the forthcoming Agricultural Competitiveness White Paper.

For information on the new drought support measures go to the Department of Agriculture (Drought and Rural Assistance) website

ATO increases focus on rental property deductions The ATO will have an increased focus on rental property deductions this tax time and is encouraging rental owners to double-check their claims are correct before lodging their tax return.

In particular, the ATO is paying close attention to: excessive deductions claimed for holiday homes, husbands and wives splitting rental income and deductions for jointly owned properties that is not supported, claims for repairs and maintenance shortly after the property was purchased, and interest deductions claimed for the private proportion of loans.

While the ATO will be paying closer attention to these issues in 2015, it will also be actively educating rental property owners about what they can and cannot claim.

For example, the ATO will be writing to rental property owners in popular holiday locations, reminding them to only claim the deductions they are entitled to, for the periods the property is rented out or is genuinely available for rent.

Getting rental property deductions right There are a few simple rules

Check out our page now by following the links from our website

rental property owners should follow to avoid making mistakes on their tax return.

First, it is important for all property owners to keep accurate records. This helps to ensure they declare the right amount of rental income and they have evidence for claims made.

Secondly, rental property owners should only claim deductions for the periods the property is rented out or is genuinely available for rent. If a property is rented at below market rates, for example to family or friends, deduction claims must be limited to the income earned while rented.

Finally, costs to repair damage, defects or deterioration existing on purchase, or renovation costs, canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be claimed as an immediate deduction. These costs are deductible over a number of years.

Case studies Holiday homes The ATO recently amended a taxpayerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return to disallow deductions claimed for a holiday home after discovering that: The taxpayer rented the home to family and friends during the year at less than market rate.

Besides a brochure which was only available at the taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; business premises, there were no realistic efforts to let the property.

The nightly rent advertised was much higher than that of surrounding properties.

The pattern of income did not match the advertised rate, or the requirement for a five-night minimum stay.

The ATO ruled that the property was mainly used for the taxpayerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal use, and deductions were limited to the amount earned from family and friends. The end result was that the taxpayer had to pay more tax and a penalty was imposed.

Husband and wives The ATO has seen instances where a husband and wife jointly own a property but split the income and deductions unequally to get a tax advantage for the highest income earner.

Some people have even included the income in the low income earnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s returns and the deductions in the high income earnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s returns.

These types of arrangements attract higher penalties where we believe they have been done deliberately.

Refinancing The ATO recently addressed a situation where a property was refinanced by a taxpayer to pay for their daughtersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wedding and an overseas holiday. The taxpayer claimed the whole interest amount, but should have only claimed the portion of interest that relates to the rental property.

Repairs and maintenance A taxpayer recently claimed repairs and maintenance for a newly acquired rental property which was significantly improved upon purchase. The taxpayer provided an invoice from an interior developer for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;refurbishmentâ&#x20AC;? of the property.

Further documentation detailed the scope of the refurbishment which included completely stripping the property and replacing old fixtures and fittings

with new. The large repairs and maintenance claim was disallowed because initial repairs and improvements to a property are not deductible.

Rebuilding A husband and wife demolished their existing rental property and built a new dwelling.

In their income tax return they claimed an immediate deduction for their share of the entire cost of the building as repairs and maintenance. While the cost of constructing the new dwelling for rental purposes is permitted, the correct treatment is to spread the cost over 40 years, claiming 2.5 per cent of eligible construction costs as a capital works deduction. The repairs and maintenance claim was disallowed.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Richieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BBQâ&#x20AC;? Australia Day campaign ad, developed by independent media agency The Monkeys, claimed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;TV Ad of the Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at the annual Mumbrella media awards with a popular vote of 41,000.

The commercial, features iconic Australian cricket commentator Richie Benaud calling on the original Lambassador Sam Kekovich and a host of other national icons, including Captain Cook, to join him in bringing Australians together to share lamb on Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day.

MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re better on Beefâ&#x20AC;? campaign also made the final six, which were recognised for their effectiveness before being put to a popular vote.

MLA Consumer Programs Marketing Manager Andrew Howie said the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Richieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BBQâ&#x20AC;? Australia Day campaign saw a 35.3 per cent sales lift versus the weekly average, for the week preceding Australia Day. Media coverage of the campaign also reached over 69 million people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is one of MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most successful Australia Day campaigns on record in 10 years of campaigns. Our objective is to not only ensure that we drive lamb demand, but equally to continue to foster Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love affair with lamb. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In conjunction with last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spring Lamb campaign, these campaigns have returned $3.99 of value for each $1 of investment,â&#x20AC;? Mr Howie said.

MLA Central Marketing General Manager Lisa Sharp said recognition for both beef and lamb ads, underpinned MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whole body of work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are delighted to receive

END OF YEAR SALE

these accolades from industry, particularly going up against some of the best in the business, and with a significantly smaller budget,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For MLA, what matters most is driving demand for red meat in Australia. We will continue to be relentless in our pursuit of effective marketing programs that deliver returns for producers and right across the industry.â&#x20AC;?

MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s domestic marketing team was also named as runner-up in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Marketing Team of the Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, going up against IAG, Tourism Australia, Sportsbet and Barnados.

The new beef ad has also received an international gong as one of only three ads from around the world recognised as a New York Festival finalist.

Impact of drought on wellbeing Rural Commodities index The 2014 Regional Wellbeing Survey produced by the University of Canberra has painted a concerning picture of the wellbeing of Australians in drought affected areas.

According to the survey’s lead author Dr Jacki Schirmer, areas like drought-stricken Central Queensland and the Orana region in the central west of NSW are some of the areas reporting the lowest levels of wellbeing nationwide.

“While many factors influence wellbeing, amongst the regions reporting the poorest levels of wellbeing are those currently experiencing the effects of drought, in many cases in tandem with a downturn in the mining industry,” Dr Schirmer said.

“In these drought-hit communities, most residents – not only farmers or mining workers – are reporting concerns about the future of their community, as well as lower levels of personal wellbeing, showing just how critical it is to understand how drought affects everyone in a rural community.”

More than 12,000 people participated in the survey and responded to topics as diverse as their health, finances, the environment, community engagement, social isolation, crime and happiness.

“We found that people aged 65 and over were consistently happier than younger people, despite reporting some concerns about their finances and health,” she said.

“By comparison, we found that young people, and those up to the age of 40 years, reported facing a broader set of concerns in their day-to-day lives.

“Younger rural and regional Australians are, on average, feeling less able to have a say and be heard, and feel less like they belong in rural communities, compared to older people. They’re less likely to find their landscape attractive, and were much more likely to report that many people misuse drugs and alcohol in their community and that there is a high crime rate,” she said.

The survey identified a need to bridge

the ‘age divide’ by investing in making rural communities places where young people want to stay or come back to after periods of time spent studying or working in cities.

Dr Schirmer said bridging the divide requires finding ways to better include younger people and give them a sense of belonging, and of being able to have meaningful input and roles in rural and regional communities.

She also found that young people were not engaging with volunteering opportunities in their communities, due both to lack of time, but also because they felt they ‘hadn’t been invited or asked to participate’.

“Volunteering rates are higher in rural and regional communities compared to Australia’s bigger cities and more than 50 per cent of rural and regional Australians report they had volunteered in the last 12 months, with most volunteering at least once a fortnight.”

“Many older people know organisations that depend on volunteers and they are willing to get involved, but it seems that to engage young people these organisations need to find different ways of reaching out and inviting new people to get involved,” she said.

The Regional Wellbeing Survey is an annual survey of rural and regional people across Australia. The survey is an initiative of the University of Canberra-led MurrayDarling Basin Futures collaborative research network, and was generated as part of the People and Place research program led by Professor Helen Berry.

The survey results will be launched

by University of Canberra Acting ViceChancellor Professor Frances Shannon, as part of today’s Regional Cooperation and Development Forum.

The findings are available for download from the University of Canberra website: http://www.canberra.edu.au/regionalwellbeing/2014

rebounds Higher beef, lamb, wool, fruit, vegetables and pulses prices drove the NAB Agribusiness Rural Commodities Index 4.2 per cent higher in May in Australian dollar (AUD) terms and 3.4 per cent in US dollar (USD) terms.

General Manager of NAB Agribusiness, Khan Horne, says the AUD resumed its downward trajectory in the month, which provided further support to local prices.

“Helping drive the rebound in the Index was the upward momentum in cattle markets, which continued in May. “Leading this was very strong feedlot demand, which contributed to the 8.3 per cent rise in the Eastern Young Cattle Indicator in May to average 478.6 AUc/kg.

“Lamb prices were also up, by 6.4 per cent, with the National Trade Lamb Indicator averaging 573.1 AUc/kg. This uptick in prices has continued through early June.”

Wool continues to rally, with the Eastern Market Indicator at its highest level since mid-2011 and averaging 1,238 AUc/kg, up 9.8 per cent. The recent gains break a period of relative stability in wool prices, and if sustained, should improve grower profitability.

In contrast, the NAB monthly weighted dairy price indicator continued to fall in May, losing 8.6 per cent in AUD terms, and the last six International Dairy Trade auctions have seen prices trend lower. This reflects improved supply and lacklustre international demand.

In terms of production conditions, the Bureau of Meteorology’s declaration of El Niño continues to cloud the production

outlook, particularly for winter grains. The impact of El Niño events varies considerably and it is still too early to judge what, if any, impact the current event will have for agriculture. Looking at the impact of the AUD, NAB expects it will continue to weaken in the second half of the year.

“Our AUD/USD forecast shows the AUD falling to a low of 0.74 this year and 0.73 in 2016 before recovery commences later in 2016 and into 2017,” said Mr Horne.

“Based on our forecasts for activity, the labour market and inflation, we don’t expect to see the RBA make further cuts to interest rates, however if forecasts are not achieved this remains a possibility.

“We expect the next move in rates will be up, but not until late 2016 and with a lower end point for the cash rate of around 3.5 per cent,” said Mr Horne.

NAB’s Rural Commodities Index includes 28 commodities (wheat, barley, sorghum, rice, oats, canola, chick peas, field peas, lupins, wool, cotton, sugar, wine grapes, beef, lamb, pork, poultry, dairy, apples, bananas, oranges, mangoes, strawberries, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, potatoes and tomatoes). The index is weighted annually according to the gross value of production of each industry in Australia.

Rossi Boots has kept up with hard-working Australian farmers for more than 100 years - and is continuing this vital support through a landmark new partnership.

The iconic Australian bootmaker has joined forces with the Victorian Farmers Federation to support its more than 10,000 members.

The partnership provides members with access to promotions on Rossi Boots styles for both men and women, connecting them with the tough, yet comfortable, boots they need to do the best job possible.

The collaboration follows the launch of Rossiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Musk boots which have been crafted specifically for the female foot.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a range that has attracted strong attention in Victoria, thanks to the quality design, research and testing used to create the durable boots and the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Australian-made commitment.

Rossi Boots Chief Executive Officer Myron Mann said he was proud to support the Federation and its members throughout Victoria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about two great Australian organisations coming together and supporting women on the landâ&#x20AC;?. Mr Mann said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a way to celebrate the fact that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new boot available

for them which will allow them to continue to do the great work theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing across Victoria.â&#x20AC;?

Victorian Farmers Federation president Peter Tuohey said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;just like Rossi, the VFF has a proud history supporting both rural women and men.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are always excited to support Australian business and Australian products of the highest quality,â&#x20AC;? Mr Tuohey said.

Born in 1910 in a small tin shed in Adelaide, Rossi Boots designs and crafts all its boots in Australia.

The National Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation (NFF) President Brent Finlay has welcomed the Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to improve the Country of Origin Labelling arrangements.

Public concern over country of origin labelling has resulted in numerous inquiries, reports and proposals in recent years and finally the Government has listened to farmers and consumers on the need to improve the domestic labelling requirements.

The NFF has been engaged in the consultation process to date and now is the chance for people to have their say on simpler and more logical ways to present the information.

The government has come up with a series of options (6) that could be used on food and beverage labels with the aim of clearly communicating that the product was made, grown or manufactured in Australia or how much of the ingredients in the product are locally grown.

We know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as easy as it sounds but we must have a system that improves consumers understanding where their food comes from so they can make informed decisions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From a farm business perspective labelling laws must be practical to implement, not impose unreasonable costs, and must not lead to

adverse trade implicationsâ&#x20AC;? said Mr Finlay.

Any improved labelling arrangements must remember that Australia is a net food exporter and must have a system that is equitable and does not compromise our significant export markets.

We must also remember that the vast majority of Australian Agricultural produce is exported and whilst this announcement is welcomed for the domestic market we also need to develop a national brand for Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agricultural exports. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Australian farmers want consumers to have clarity and make informed choices on the products on the shelves and the NFF will continue working with Government on the arrangements to ensure they are equitable, clear and continue to provide Australian farmers with improved market accessâ&#x20AC;? said Mr Finlay.

The NFF congratulates Agriculture Minister Joyce and Industry Minister MacFarlane on their intent and encourages farmers and the community to complete the country of origin food labelling community survey which is available at www.industry.gov.au/cool.

Milestones for Monaro Milk and Juice So far it’s been a big year for Michael and Debbie Johnson.

Not only have they recently become proud grandparents (Congratulations!), they are also celebrating their 10th year of running Monaro Milk and Juice. The family business is still going strong having just expanded into a new and larger space in Holland Rd at Polo Flat.

Starting off in Pauls and Oak milks only, they now supply a huge range of products, including King Island dairy products, Streets ice creams, Orchy and Macquarie Valley juices, Earlyrise and Village breads, pies and other baked products, eggs and they are just about to take on Bio Pack natural packaging. To check out their range or to sample any products, call in to the new location on Holland Rd. They deliver to restaurants, cafes and businesses all across the region from the Bombala-Delegate area, across the Snowy Mountains including Perisher and Thredbo,

to Adaminaby, Cabramurra and along the south coast from Eden to Bermagui.

Gearing up for winter, which is their busiest time of year aside from Christmas, Mick and Debbie operate seven days a week. With a permanent staff of five, and two casuals, Monaro Milk and Juice are a close-knit team. You can quite often see them zipping around in one of their four trucks or two vans, busily delivering their products to local businesses. They also have refrigerated freight connecting to Sydney and Canberra.

The steady growth of Monaro Milk and Juice is mainly down to Mick and Deb’s wonderful customer service. They say that what they really enjoy about their work is the friendships they have formed with customers over the last 10 years.

It’s all about locals supporting locals, and Mick and Deb are proud to provide a valued service to local businesses in the community.

Aged 100 years.

Dearly loved wife of Clive (DEC), Mother and mother in-law of Shirley and George Betty, Ronald (DEC) and Faye, Peter and Marie . Adored grandmother and great grandmother to her many grandchildren.

The funeral service MAVIS EILEEN MCMAHON was held in the St Johns Anglican Church, Adaminaby, on Friday June 12th 2015. At the conclusion of the service, the cortege proceeded to Adaminaby Cemetery.

In December the government announced that all children and their families in Australian detention centres would be released into the community while their refugee claims were processed.

But not the children detained on Nauru.

Ninety children are detained on Nauru. More than 80 children are detained in Australia, awaiting their return to Nauru. The conditions and treatment they experience are hidden from sight but recent reports by the Australian Human Rights Commission and the Moss Inquiry have revealed widespread abuse of children in detention.

Amnestyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lost Children Campaign aims to get all kids and their families released from detention, once and for all.

Amnesty International, in conjunction with the Monaro Refugee Support Group, Monaro Family Support and Cooma Baptist Church, is holding a public forum on Saturday June 20 (World Refugee Day) at 2.30pm at the Cooma Baptist church (cnr Boona and Baroona Ave), which will provide information about the situation and how you can help.

Attendees will also hear a firsthand

account from Samantha, a young woman who worked on Nauru in the Offshore Processing Centre throughout 2013-2014, with Save The Children Australia.

Samantha is a community development worker, with more than seven years of experience in the community industry. Starting her career at a domestic violence refuge for women and children in Canberra, Samantha then moved into working with other disadvantaged women in the local community.

Samanthaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience with working with the children, single adult females, unaccompanied minors and families within the Offshore Processing Centre is one that she is willing to share.

Bede Carmody, Amnesty International Community Organiser will be speaking alongside Samantha. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The children locked up by Australia on Nauru need the freedom to have a happy and safe childhood and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re holding these information sessions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want more people to stand up for whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being hidden from them and how they can help free the children,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Students experience a musical journey at JCS Jindabyne Central School (JCS) students have experienced a musical journey from the rainforests of Australia to the streets of Buenos Aires as they were entertained by one of the country’s most respected jazz quartets as part of the renowned Musica Viva program.

The quartet, named The World According to James, introduced JCS students to the smooth, toe-tapping and finger-snapping sound that is jazz and even had students up dancing the tango.

The band, fronted by Australia’s leading jazz trombonist James Greening, spent two hour-long performances teaching children from Kindergarten to Year Six to recognise melody, harmony, beat and rhythm.

Band members explained the difference between musical instruments and helped students create improvised compositions of their own.

Before long, The World According to James had the entire audience dancing the tango.

“They are beautiful kids here,” Mr Greening said.

“They were so happy to see us and they knew so much about music. They really took part in every activity with enthusiasm.”

More than 30 groups from all genres of music tour more than 1000 schools in Australia each year as part of the Musica Viva program.

The current draft version of the plan includes some public feedback and incorporates the inputs of the Council, the Lions Club and the Cooma Leos Club.

The draft plan includes an adventure playground to be implemented in the pine plantation area, a children’s playground, a leash free dog park, open grass picnic areas, an expanded car park that caters for caravan parking, upgrade of the existing BMX track, reforming the existing waterway as a dry creek bed including play experience bridges, dual flying foxes, upgraded pathways to become multi-use walking tracks and establishing an Arboretum. The project is also to include an iconic theme structure to be placed near the entrance.

Suggested themes for the Park include that it will be an adventure playground, provide space for a wide range of activities, and provide a link to the Murrumbidgee River.

However the Lions Club is looking for an overall naming theme for the Park and are asking for public input.

Please send your suggestions to seclionscooma@gmail.com Discussion at the most recent meeting between the Council, the Lions Club and the Leos Club on Wednesday June 10 also focused on priorities for development and the future work program. The

Lions Club are planning to start work on the pathway upgrades as soon as the Master Plan is approved.

The Leos Club is also looking to contribute to the implementation. dsb are going ahead with refining details for the playground

and adventure playground equipment, furniture styles and finalising the Master Plan.

It is anticipated that this will be available for public comment from about the 6 July and there will be a public meeting to discuss the Master Plan and Playground Design on July 21.

Cooma Colts record some impressive results in round seven Full On Constructions and Rhythm Snow Sports Under 6’s The Cooma Colts under 6 players had a very entertaining game against the South Tuggeranong Knights this week.

Although we were defeated both the players and the parents watching had an action packed 30 minutes.

Jana Rosenbaum-Robinson, Junior Morgan and Thomas Challis were all proudly displaying their new found confidence and made some great runs while Harper Woolf, William Bryan, Jessie Hurford and Oliver Paul were all quick on attack. Nate Stocks managed a whopping 13 tackles and seemed to be on fire all game with Tyler Lee who was always there to back up our runners and made a full field run to score his second try for the game. Great job sixers amazing effort.

Cleverley moving into first receiver and Joshua Williams into dummy half, the boys stepped up their game, both seizing the opportunity to making good metres in attack.

John Challis found his strength this week making some great tackles and running hard. Thomas Rudd and Charlie Fleming once again stood strong in defence pulling off some great tackles and both ran hard in attack as well.

With no reserves on the bench the Colts dug deep but could not break the Bulls’ defence and in the last five minutes the Bulls pushed on to score. Final score Colts 22 Bulls 24.

Try scorers Lee Morgan 2, Charlie Fleming 1, Rhys Cleverley 1, Clayton Clarke/Zane Usher-Rohdal 1. Goals Cameron Filtness 1. Player of the week Thomas Rudd. Maccas Award Charlie Fleming. Hitman Award John Challis.

Snowy River Painting Under 8’s – Black The Under 8’s Colts (Black) travelled to Canberra to take on the South Tuggeranong Blue team.

After having a week off the young Colts were refreshed and ready to go. From the first whistle Natasha Kelly and Dempsey Woolf made sure that the Knights made no ground up the middle with some great tackling.

Ayden Palmer and Darcy Rudd both worked hard in attack crossing the try line on more than one occasion.

Charlie Perea communicated well from the back ensuring that the defensive line worked as one, making it near impossible for the Knights to break through.

Charlie Payne, Wyatt Hurford and Jack Dunn, were both strong in attack making some good metres up the middle and solid in defence. The young Colts walked away with a convincing win and should be very proud of their defensive efforts! Player of the day went to Wyatt Hurford and the Managers award went to Natasha Kelly.

Sportspower U10’s The U10’s travelled to play Queanbeyan United Blues. They were up against some boys that cast big shadows. From the kick off, Cooma came up with the ball but made the mistake of being pushed into touch. That put the Colts on the back foot straight away.

The Blues took advantage of the field position and soon scored. Cooma rallied back with strong runs from Azak Morgan and Thomas King, who was making his debut with the Cooma Colts. After some good lead up work from Charlie Paul and Charlie Wiggins, Louie found the ball in his hands and he raced away for a great individual try.

Queanbeyan had some big boys charging up and the Colts kept on cutting their bigger opponents down but finally the Blues broke the Colts defensive line to score near the post.

From the tap restart, big strong runs from Captain Jack “Frosty” Kleven and Jack “Thumper” McPherson helped Cooma push hard into the opposition’s territory.

Great control from Flynn Parmer around the ruck and elusive runs from Mason Turner had the Colts firing on all cylinders. Then Justin McDonald received the ball and ran from near half way to score his 12th try for the season.

The Colts went into the break with a slim lead, 10-8. Four super subs came on after the break and they made their presence felt straight away. Toby Inskip, who slotted in at full back charged onto the ball and weaved his way to score.

Jacory Hart and Mitchel Burke tackled well all game! Louie and Justin did some great copy book tackles around the legs that had the big boys crashing hard to earth. Cooper Inskip’s probing runs from dummy half led to a good field position.

Then Jordan Williams powered onto the ball to score out wide.

The Colts finished the game with another try to Louie, after he scooped up a loose ball and sped away. The Colts had a well fought win, 24-12. Tries to Louie-2, Justin-1, Toby-1, Jordan-1. Conversions to Maison and Toby. 3 points- Louie, 2 points- Justin, 1 point- Toby. Weekly medal- Louie. Choc Awards- Jack Kleven and Thomas King.

Monaro Constructions Under 8’s – White Well round 7 saw the Under 8s (White) take on the Woden Rams in a thrilling game that saw a 16 all draw.

It was a great 10 minutes of football to get the game started with the Colts defensive line looking impenetrable with the likes of Conner Nelson, Ashton Dibley and Archie Blyton quickly taking down the Rams players before they could make any ground.

We saw some good strong runs from Jayden Hart and Jett Kelly but couldn’t find a weak spot in the Rams defence. With not long till the whistle the Rams made a breakthrough and got the first points on the board.

The second saw the Colts in control of the game with some very strong attacking and quick playing of the ball which saw Hunter Caldwell and Maccas award winner Tyrell Bartlett break through a wounded Rams defence to get over the line.

It was 10 all going in to the third and the crowd were on the edge of their seats.

With an ever strengthening defensive line and with Khian Flanagan making some big tackles, the boys were unlucky to not stop the Rams taking the lead. But with only minutes to go man of the match Bailey Taylor took the tap and with a half field run straight through the Rams evened the score in a nail bitter. Well done boys another top show.

Monaro Panel Beaters Under 9’s The U9’s travelled to Nicholls to take on the Gungahlin Bulls. The first half saw the game go try for try. Cameron Filtness and Jacob Smith worked well together in first receiver and dummy half giving good quick ball to the boys which allowed Lee Morgan and Clayton Clarke to make some good ground out wide. Cameron’s kicking game gave the spectators some excitement when Clayton and Zane chased down a kick resulting in them scoring a try simultaneously.

Lachlan Buffet and Zane Usher-Rodhal found themselves in the mix playing in the middle of the field with both boys working hard in defence and having some good runs. The Colts held the lead going into the second half and with Rhys

Highland Ground Spreading Under 11’s The U11 Colts travelled to Queanbeyan to take on the Blues but we soon discovered that we left most of our energy and enthusiasm back home in Cooma.

After letting two quick tries in it was always going to be hard to claw our way back into the game. Though as the game went on, particularly in the second half, there were many great individual performances, just a little team cohesion was lacking.

Jack O’Donnell led the way with some great charges with the ball, despite getting a little battered along the way, likewise for James Bannon with his defence work rate very high again.

Jack Newson and Shawn Ingham work very well together out wide, Jack with some great defence and Shawn with some good runs down the sideline. Kayla Fleming and Tirone Morgan ran strongly either side of the ruck, pushing for every inch.

Barrett Bannon and Lachlan Hemphill swapped at dummy

half, sneaking away for as many metres as possible, and marker defence was good. Talon Kelly stepped and weaved to make as much ground as possible and returned their kicks well. Ryan Monday knows where to go and what to do in his position and gives 100% each week. Sam Williams made some strong runs and important tackles as always. Jake Maddrell wasn’t feeling well so went on in the second half but certainly didn’t show any signs of being unwell, running onto the ball strongly and defending very strongly as well. A tough day but a lot to learn from it.

3 pts Jack O’Donnell, 2pts Tirone, 1pt Jake, Player of the Week Jack O’Donnell. Medal went to Ryan.

Mainstreet Under 12 The U/12 Cooma Colts took on Gungahlin Bulls in an early morning clash seeing the Colts get off to a shaky start.

Lachlan McGufficke and James “The Bull” Dyball sparked the team into life.

Lachlan defended strongly on the line and split the defence in attack scoring two tries.

The Bull tackled fiercely to knock the ball out on a number of occasions and sustained long runs to score two tries.

Lachlan “The Tuna” Brill was outstanding with Travis Kelly showing great vision. The opposition tried to reel Lachlan in, but The Tuna was impossible to catch, scoring two tries and tackling like a machine.

Travis drew and passed exceptionally well, setting up his outside man to march up the field while also defending the edges.

Jesse “The Eel” Eljuga is growing with his passing game, along with Jonah Perea becoming a great support player in attack. The Eel was throwing early balls which looked like they should have been on TV. One long pass found Jonah in support who was able to scoot away untouched to score, while both were also solid in defence.

Colby McDonald and Clinton Filtness had consistent games both making metres up the middle and outside. Colby making weaving runs and tackling down low perfectly. Clinton getting some early passes away which looked very impressive and also scored a try off a great run.

Adam “The Bee” Constance and Jayden “The Wall” Donald Smith both had tough games. The Bee was buzzing through the opposition, sticking to the defence like honey. The Wall had golden hands. He would not have looked out of place in the slips. Jayden also kicked a very impressive goal.

Alex “The Pitbull” Aitkenhead and Hudson “The Spider” Laird both played spirited games. The Pitbull filled his role as hooker by getting the plays started and putting in his cheeky runs out of dummy half to make strong metres. The Spider was defending kicks with ease and making great yardage from the kick returns. Also controlling the defensive line out wide with some classic one on one tackles and finishing the game off with a goal.

A gritty performance to big deep boys. . Final score 38-14.

3 points Lachlan Brill, 2 points Lachlan McGufficke, 1 point Jonah Perea. Medal went to Jayden Donald Smith.

Dodd’s Hotel Under 16’s Dodd’s Hotel Under 16’s travelled to Queanbeyan to play Queanbeyan Blues.

The game was tightly fought with only one try each in the first 70 minutes of the game. Cooma received a penalty 30 metres out in front of the posts opting to take the points Cooma lead 6 to 4 with 4 minutes left of the game.

Unfortunately errors by the boys saw Queanbeyan score twice the last from an intercept putting Queanbeyan in front 14 points to 6.

Although the boys went down the score didn’t reflect the big effort all the boys put in. The award went to James Cahill.

Cooma squash comp results B Grade round 8 results It was the penultimate round of Cooma Squash Club’s B Grade competition with Truck Stop beating the top of the table Monaro Discount Tyres.

Aron Rogers kick started proceedings for TAruck Stop in a five game win over Andrew Bartell in the battle of the B1s.

Aron claimed the opening two games before Andrew found his range and leveled the match at two games apiece. Aron’s experience won out, taking the match 9-3, 9-2, 3-9, 7-9, 9-3.

Alex Childs was next on court where he faced Thomas Thomas who was filling in as a B2.

Alex’s power game was on song early and he quickly took the first game. Thomas improved as the match progressed and both players hit some excellent shots across the remainder of the match.

Alex found the walls regularly to take the second game 9-5. Thomas’ forehand has been a real weapon for him and he managed to make the third game a close contest, narrowly losing it and the match 4-9, 5-9, 6-9.

In the B3 line Dane Freimanis had a victory over Lachlan Sturgeon. Both players have been in good form of late with Lachlan looking for his third win in as many weeks.

Dane got out of the blocks the better of the two and with his powerful serves took the first game 9-5 and the second 9-4.

The third was much closer as Lachlan’s running game came to the fore. Dane managed to prevail in a close third game to take the match

9-5, 9-4, 10-9.

Matthew Oost continued his fine form in the B4 line when he beat Andrew Robertson, who has been playing very well himself.

The match produced some brilliant squash as the pair rallied and rallied and rallied. Very little separated the duo on the court as Matthew took the win 9-6, 9-7, 9-6.

Stallions reserves post 37-10 win Perfect weather brought quite the crowd to the showground for the Locals to Legends round on Saturday.

The Reserve Grade Stallions took on the Eden Tigers who walked away with a great 37-10 win.

A penalty for Stallions took them 30m out from their line within the first five minutes with Milled Issa working hard in attack along with Credence Bartlett and Clint Dunn. The ball was found in the hands of Austin Riley but a little kick and chase saw the ball go out.

The Stallions kept the Tigers away with good defence but a break by the Eden winger was stopped by the Stallions Josh McDonald who made the tackle. A persistent Eden continued the attack when the Tigers number 4 scored in the corner getting first points 6-0.

The Stallions were quick to reply, when Clint Dunn found the gap and crossed for the Stallions first points leveling the score at 6-6 with 8 minutes to go.

Josh Steinke made a good run from the kick giving the ball to Mark Kaufline to carry it up the field, keeping up the momentum.

Credence Bartlett made a break and was tackled just short of line but a quick offload Clint Dunn saw the Stallions take the lead and Dunn collect his second try, with Dave Sommerville successfully coverting 12-6.

Again the Stallions pushed hard up the field with help from James Salvestro and Jesse Jackson and a sloppy Tigers defence helped to see Captin Scott Lloyd make the dive from dummy half and extend the Stallions lead to 18-6, with Somerville converting 3 from 3 just before

the half time siren.

The Tigers came back from the break firing with a hopeful chip and chase but Dave Sommerville covered well and took a perfect catch and got to the 20m line with

Bartlett again stepping in to help, making a strong run.

Eden, hungry for the line, applied pressure but Austin Willis and Scott Lloyd worked hard in defence. Dan Caldwell took

the ball from the corner with Tigers half back hot on his tail, saving the Stallions from a unwanted try.

Cooma pushed up the field and fast offloads between Milled Issa to Austin Riley and then Will Kelly, saw Kelly find the line and another successful conversion saw Stallions 24-6.

A great ball inside from Brett Dorward saw Dave Sommerville find the line under the posts and convert his own try to take the stallions to a 30-6 lead with 12 minutes to go.

Fast paced Eden ficked a ball wide to their half back but again with his strong defence was Austin Riley to bring his run to a stop.

Unfortunately a quick pass to the right and a rare gap in Stallions defence saw them find the line 30-10 with 7 minutes on the clock.

John Kaufline, Austin Riley and Jesse Jackson were working hard to keep the Tigers away. A forward pass from the Tigers saw Stallions in possession inside their 30.

Quickly taking advantage, a pass wide to Dave Sommerville then Clint Dunn saw the Stallions cross in the corner 36-10. Only a minute to go and the Tigers frustration was visible when a dangerous tackle on Brett Dorward saw the Stallions take a 1 point penalty to wrap the game up at 37-10.

Points were awarded to 1. John Kaufline 2. James Salvestro 3. Credence Bartlett who also received Players player.

Next week the Stallions take on the Narooma Red Devils at Narooma.

Stallions lift in Locals to Legends match The Cooma Stallions ‘Locals to Legends’ match went to plan on Saturday night, with both the Reserve Grade and First Grade teams getting the points against the Eden Tigers.

The First Grade side was boosted by the debut of former Australian international and Canberra Raiders player Brett White who brought experience to the side and a great crowd to the hill.

The Stallions came out firing and dominated early across the park.

Joel Smith and Jimmy Boller combined well in the halves, while in the forwards, Liam Saunders and Corey Thomas made good metres.

With only seven minutes gone and in good field position, Will Nicholls showed great strength to push over the line and open the scoring.

The game ebbed and flowed for much of the first half, with penalties allowing Eden attacking opportunities in good field position.

The loss of Boller to injury forced a reshuffle of positions in the halves while the injection of Brett White into the game lifted the Stallions’ side.

T h e

defensive efforts of Chris Khoury and CaptainCoach Todd Williams, coupled with Dean Blyton’s safe hands at fullback held Eden out.

Eden managed to cross for their first points in the 26th minute to level the scores, but Cooma weren’t prepared to let them take control of the game.

The Pommy pair of Liam Saunders and Gareth Knowles were unlucky not to score, with both the forwards questionably denied over the line but the Stallions continued to put pressure on the Tigers’ defence and following strong hit-ups from Saunders, White and Knowles, Mitch Hynes scored a trademark try in the corner.

Just three minutes later, Hynes found himself over the white line a second time, rounding out the first half ahead on the scoreboard 16-6.

In the second half, the Stallions sought to secure the lead with early points and they didn’t disappoint.

Joel Smith showed great deception as he slid through the defence and increased the lead in the 46th minute but Eden were quick to hit back, s c o r i n g t w i c e in quick

succession in the centres.

Cooma hooker Lee Welsh kept the team firing as he cemented himself in the heart of the attack and constantly pressured the Eden boys, while Brandon Williams, Matt Salvestro and Jeff Donald held strong on the flanks.

Cooma’s pack dominated through much of the second half, led by Todd Williams and workhorse Adam Walters, while the addition of Scott Lloyd provided welcome relief in the middle.

With the game still in the balance, a powerful Chris Khoury hit the line and couldn’t be stopped, extending the Stallions’ lead to 12 points.

With 10 minutes remaining on the clock, Eden hit back again as the frost set in, but it wasn’t enough to regain control of the match and the Stallions held on, winning 26-20.

The match reflected the hard work the Stallions have put in over the last few weeks and showed that the boys are still a force to be reckoned with in this Group 16 competition.

In best and fairest points this week, the reliable Dean Blyton and tireless Adam Walters shared one point, while two points went to the relentless Liam Saunders and three points was awarded to Lee Welsh whose work rate was unmatched. Liam Saunders was also awarded Players’ Player.

Following the match, the players and supporters converged upon the Cooma Hotel for the ‘Locals to Legends’ evening and Lucky Stallion draw.

The audience was treated to an insight into life as a young player

working hard for their position as Ty Fallon interviewed Jack Williams and Thomas Cronan, while Sam Williams showed he might give Matty Johns a run for his money one day as he quizzed Brett White on everything from pre-game rituals to life at the Melbourne Storm in the midst of the salary cap crisis.

All four players proved themselves credits to their clubs, the NRL and the Monaro community and reinforced through their good humour and candid responses why this region is so proud of their achievements.

The Stallions wish to thank the boys for their attendance, and all the supporters who showed up and bid for auction items on the night, capping off a great day of local footy.

Next week, the Stallions and Fillies travel to Narooma to take on the Devils, before a big day of footy back at the Cooma Showground against Bemboka and Merimbula-Pambula in a fortnight.

Cooma Stallions 26 (M. Hynes, 2, W. Nicholls, J. Smith, C. Khoury tries; M. Hynes 3/5 goals) def. Eden Tigers 20 (T. Knight, 3, J. Nicholson tries; J. Aldridge 2/4 goals).

Depleted Red Devils defeated by Goulburn The Cooma Red Devils travelled to Goulburn for the second time this year and came away with the same result as the last time with Goulburn still the bench mark for both grades.

With a depleted squad due to injuries and players having other commitments Cooma travelled light with five players having to back up and play both games.

Second grade got off to the worst possible start, down 28-0 after 10 minutes but Cooma regrouped and started to show a bit of fight. However the experience and pace of the Goulburn side was causing headaches for the Cooma defence.

Half time saw Cooma regroup and the second half saw Cooma hold the ball for more than two phases and apply pressure to the Goulburn line.

Goulburn’s defence was stoic and Cooma could not crack them but Goulburn on the other hand found the Cooma defence not up to scratch and were able to find easy metres.

Defence from Brad Evans, Jake Mcilvenny, Nick Keighley and good direction from Eddie Thomas and Aidan (I love hospital passes) Herbert kept Cooma in the game for patches.

Goulburn ran out winners 78-0 but football was the real

winner on the day. Points in second grade 1 point Aidan on with their quick counter attack.

Red Devils are improving week by week On a perfect day for rugby the Cooma Red Devils took to the field to play the Tuggeranong Viking’s Div 1 team.

The size and power of the Viking’s side was evident early and their big forwards were making some inroads into Cooma’s territory allowing them first points.

This seemed to kick the boys into gear and some strong phases around the ruck had Cooma back in the match. Unfortunately for Cooma Zac van der Plaat sustained a serious neck injury and this stopped play for a long period. After a quick meeting with the ref and Viking officials the game moved to another field.

Cooma restarted still positive after the delay and applied some pressure with Josh Sharkey and Aramis Fitzgerald running and tackling hard.

A few turnovers gave the Vikings possession and their big men got a roll on scoring some quick

tries. The Cooma boys were mixing it in the forwards a mostly Div 1 sides in the early stages of the comp. charge from Angus Schofield lifting the crowd and that A few mentions of players getting better each week are produced some quality phases.

The Under 11’s took on Gungahlin at home this week. With some sickness going around we played a great game considering we were playing short.

The two teams seemed to be evenly matched in the first half scoring two tries each.

Gungahlin must have had a great pep talk at half time as they came out the second half and really showed why they are number two on the ladder.

The team displayed the skills they are learning at training with some excellent scrummaging and ruck and mall work.

Player of the day went to Brock Freeburn and Coaches Choice to Jackson Connelly. Go the Mighty Piglets.

UNDER 10’S REPORT This was the first away game and bus trip for the U10’s.

They travelled to Canberra to play St Edmunds College.

With strong scrums and great attacking play

the Piglets were unlucky not to come out on top this week.

They played really well and passed the ball about amongst all of the team.

Player of the Day was awarded to Rory McGregor for super tackling and Coaches Choice went to Jordis Watts for great all round play.

Rennie Falconer scored himself a try with the final score being 39-5 to St Eddies.

After the game most of our team went to watch the Brumbies v Crusaders game and joined in the halftime parade.

A big thank you to DamienThrum (Coach)for driving the bus and the parent helpers that made this possible.

Thank you also to our sponsors: First Tracks, Mountain Munchies, Mastercut Meats, Jindabyne Physiotherapy and Sports Injuries Centre, Westpac and Lake Crackenback Snowy Mountains.

Local rugby league legends returned to Cooma last Saturday to see the first and reserve grade Cooma Stallions record good wins over Eden with a massive crowd cheering them on. Brett White, who started his career playing for the Cooma Colts, made a cameo appearance for the Stallions, while Sam Williams, Jack Williams and Thomas Cronin also returned to their old club for the day. That night, a charity evening was held at the Cooma Hotel.
