Young Hayley Swain makes it to Sydney as a Toyota finalist Hayley Swain went to Sydney to compete in the Toyota National Skills Development Program on Friday. A first year apprentice Toyota technician at Cooma Toyota, Hayley made it through to compete against five other apprentices, all of who are in their third year. Although she did not win, the judges were very impressed with her skill level, especially considering she is only in her first year. Prior to the competition on Friday, Hayley took a web based course and exam. With only five making it through with the top results, including Hayley, it was not a small achievement. This is the first time a member of the Cooma Toyota team has made it this far in the annual program. Everyone at

Cooma Toyota is very proud of Hayley, particularly her supervisor Ray Galvin. “We are all behind her,� he says, “She’s a hard worker and is always keen to learn new things and show initiative. We’ve got a really great group of apprentices at the moment.� “The people Hayley is up against are either from Sydney or Bathurst. It’s an amazing achievement for her, coming from a small town like Cooma.� Ray saw Hayley’s talent when she spent two weeks working at Cooma Toyota through her TAFE mechanics course last year. They offered her a place as their apprentice before those two weeks were up. At the competition in Sydney, there were three workstations with specific tasks to complete. The first was looking up three different issues in a workshop manual, which is very large and complicated. The second was to set and test a new alternator and the third was to take a transmission apart, measure the components and reassemble it. ON SALE Due to being in her first year of training, W WEDNESDAY Hayley had not 1 17TH AUGUST attempted some of these tasks by herself UNTIL However TU TUESDAY 23RD before.

Litter prevention and recycling initiatives given $134,000 boost Canberra Region Joint Organisation has received two funding grants totalling $134,000 to run a litter reduction campaign across eight council areas and to support five new community recycling centres, Member for Monaro John Barilaro announced today. The first funding grant of $84,000 was awarded for a litter prevention program, which will target roadside litter in holiday periods, and the second $50,000 funding grant is to promote five new community recycling centres opening in the region for problem wastes such as paints, oils, gas bottles and batteries. Mr Barilaro said the grants, awarded under the NSW Government’s $465.7 million Waste Less, Recycle More initiative, would help to promote recycling and litter education to residents and visitors. “The litter prevention campaign includes new signage to target major tourist routes such as the Monaro, Princes, Kings and Snowy Mountains Highways,� Mr Barilaro said. “The community recycling centre grant will help Canberra Region Joint Organisation inform the community about new recycling centres for residents to drop off their household wastes that cannot go in the kerbside bins. “These initiatives are both great local programs which will help the NSW Government increase recycling rates and reduce litter volume.� Environment Minister Mark Speakman said the $84,000 litter initiative grant was one of 16 successful projects sharing in $1.2 million under the second stage of the Waste Less, Recycle More initiative’s Litter Regional Implementation Grants Program.
“Local litter initiatives like these will make a contribution to the NSW Government’s target to reduce litter volume by 40 per cent by 2020,� Mr Speakman said. Canberra Region Joint Organisation Chair Clr Rowena Abbey said the organisation welcomed the announcement and recognised Minister Speakman’s leadership as well as the commitment by the NSW Government and EPA to work with Local Government to help raise awareness and provide greater capacity for community engagement, regarding targeted programs such as litter reduction. “Regional collaboration on these programs provides opportunities for councils to strengthen program outreach and participation, while benefiting from resource and knowledge sharing,� she said. The Canberra Region Joint Organisation is made up of eight councils across the south east of NSW including Eurobodalla Shire Council, Bega Valley Shire Council, Goulburn-Mulwaree Council, Hilltops Council, Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council, Snowy Monaro Regional Council, Upper Lachlan Shire Council, Yass Valley Council and the ACT Government.

Alpine Motor Group moving forward Steve Ganitis and Candice Geach are the proud new owners of the Alpine Motor Group car dealership. After five years, two as a part owner, Steve left High Country Automotive Group to look for a new challenge. He found it at Alpine Motor. Purchasing the business from Keith and Sue Williams, Steve and Candice are excited to be taking on a local business with all local staff. “We are really passionate about being a local business,” says Steve, “We have retained all the existing staff and have hired some other experienced locals to compliment the team.”
Steve says he is committed to growing the business to the benefit of the town. An opportunity came up to purchase the large building, previously Cottle House, next door to their lot on Bombala and Steve and Candice took it. “Cooma is where I want to be. It’s a beautiful area. It is where I want to raise a family and where I want to build my business. By expanding, we will be able to create job opportunities for locals, which will have flow on benefits for the whole region.” Gaining 600 Facebook likes in only 24 hours of launching their page, and selling one car
a day since opening, the team has strong support from the community. Alpine Motor Group sells new Ford and Mitsubishi models as well as preloved cars. “I am very excited to be representing Ford as I have always been passionate about them and my own personal car is a Ford,” says Steve, “Mitsubishi is an excellent manufacturer and I am also proud to be selling their product here in Cooma.” Steve has 13 years of experience in the car dealership industry. He knows his cars and he knows what is involved in running a
successful and reliable operation to get the best for his customers. “I would like to say that I appreciate the patience and understanding our customers have shown during this changeover period. It is a work in progress, but with such a good time behind me, it won’t take long to find our feet,” says Steve, “I would also like to thank Keith and Sue and wish them a happy
retirement. They have poured their hearts and souls into this business for more than 25 years, and I hope that they will know enjoy their time on the farm.” Pop in to say hello to Steve, Candice and the whole team at Bombala Street today, give them a call on 6452 1044 or check out their Facebook page – Alpine Motor Group.

Info on overseas workers

TrainLink confusion continues There has been some uncertainty surrounding the extension of TrainLink’s trial Bombala to Canberra bus timetable. Last week we reported that the trial route had been extended considerably, further angering residents of Bombala and Delegate who have been dissatisfied with the route since its introduction. Following the article, MP John Barilaro indicated that no such extension had been made. The original 12 month trial began in July of 2014, and continues today, some two
years later. The Monaro Post has spoken with TrainLink, Transport for NSW and the office of Minister for Transport, Andrew Constance, trying to determine the exact length the trial will continue. No agency or individual was able to confirm a trial length, but the following statement was given by a NSW TrainLink spokesperson. “The trial of the Bombala to Canberra via Jindabyne coach service is ongoing while passenger numbers are evaluated and all options considered�.
Many would-be passengers in Bombala and Delegate say they are unable to use the current service due to its early departure times and the lengthy trip that sees the bus take two and a half hours to get to Cooma, and four and a half hours to get to Canberra. President of the Delegate Progress Association, Penelope Judge said that whether the trial had recently been extended or not, the fact remained that the residents of Bombala and Delegate were not being considered by those who determined the route.
Gaylene Jennings, Richard Hopkins, Yvi Henderson, Rebecca Wallace, Shane McCabe and Alvis Kwan pictured at the information seminar on employing overseas workers. The Monaro Community Growth Group (MCGG) hosted an information session for Monaro employers on employing overseas staff. The free event was held at The Hub in Vale Street on August 12 and featured a talk by Sydney based immigration lawyer and migration agent, Rebeca Wallace. Discussion focused around options that may be available to meet short or long term labour needs within the community as well as the responsibilities arising from the employment of overseas workers. The MCGG believes The Monaro has a long history of embracing immigrants and is richer because of the cultural diversity they have brought. The group has focus and initiatives that welcome all and benefit all within the unique Cooma-Monaro community. Richard Hopkins from MCGG said that Rebecca is an expert in her field and the organisation is grateful for her
support in the areas of immigration and providing information for employers considering overseas staff. “Rebecca is a person to be reckoned with. She has al the knowledge in that area and she’s backing us,� he said. While in the region Rebecca also met with asylum seekers to provide them with advice on legal issues. Yvi Henderson from the Multicutural Activity Group in Cooma (MAGIC) said she has been working with Rebecca for six months and she has been a great asset in helping with clients. “It’s fantastic to have that link and someone I can ask questions. “None of the organisations in Cooma can help with visa issues and she can do that. “She will come regularly to Cooma to help, that will be open for the future,� Ms Henderson said.

Goodbye from Keith and Sue
Former owners of Alpine Motor Group, Keith and Sue Williams would like to say a warm and heartfelt thank you to the Monaro and Snowy Mountain community for their support over the last 20 years. Both having worked under big franchises in the industry since the mid 70s, Keith and Sue came to Cooma for the opportunity to run their own business. Planning to do so for five years, they enjoyed themselves so much it turned into 20. “We have been able to run a successful business, employ many local people and train local apprentices, many of whom are still in the industry,” says Keith, “None of that would have been possible without the support of the community.” Keith and Sue have never taken this for granted, always trying to give back to local sporting and charity groups when they could. They were particularly passionate about providing opportunities for young people, such as pony club for their daughter, who now competes at a national level in equestrian events. The Williams are now looking forward to retirement on their farm and they wish Steve and Candice all the best in their endeavours.
Administrator’s Column What a week we have had at Snowy Monaro Regional Council! Both myself and the General Manager, Joe Vescio have been travelling around the countryside visiting staff and attending various functions and forums. I attended the Monaro in Pictures book presentation to NSW State Libraries with the local arts group, Deputy Premier Troy Grant , Bronnie Taylor MLC and Minister John Barilaro. This book will now be preserved in the State library system, forever. A great outcome! Joe and I also attended a workshop, hosted by the Department of Premier and Cabinet, on Thursday in Tumut to develop a 'report card' that we will give back to the community at the end of this administration period in twleve months. This report will outline the major benefits that have been delivered to the region since amalgamation. It is important that the public are involved in the decision making process and reading documents published by Council. We want our residents to be included and we like to hear your feedback. With the opportunity to have your say, the more submissions we receive from the public, the better understanding Council has of the region and our communities. Recently, I had our draft Fees and Charges and Operational Plan on display, but unfortunately there were not many submissions received. The best feedback was from the Bombala Local Representative Committee who advised me not to implement the proposed new waste fee structure in the former Bombala Shire until an education process is undertaken over the next twelve months. This advice was taken and an education process will commence soon. Any residents attending the landfill and transfer stations in the old Cooma shire recently would have been given a flyer outlining how waste fees are changing. Basically, former Cooma rural ratepayers have had their annual access charge dropped from $200 to $101 but they now are charged a per bin fee when they go to the tip. The idea behind this is that if you recycle more, you will pay less. Recycling is free and the less that we have to bury will ultimately lengthen the life of our landfills and will benefit our kids and grandkids. Please note that you will be able to collect the new flyer from the Landfill, transfer stations and the waste truck for our residents at Michelago and Smiths Road. Our landfills across the region are aiming to provide the community with a consistent service and we appreciate your input. Dean Lynch Administrator

Coolumbooka Weir work Snowy Vets welcome new vet
The scour valve in the Coolumbooka Weir was exercised over several weeks recently to drop water levels in order to inspect a damaged pipe. The valve is now closed and levels have returned to normal.
Residents living upstream of the Coolumbooka Weir in Bombala expressed concern recently over dropping water levels and what seemed like an increase in sediment in the catchment. The Snowy Monaro Regional Council explains that during that time it had been releasing water from the weir in order to attend to a damaged pipe. “Over the past couple of weeks we exercised the weir scour valve and had it open for a number of days at a time,” Deputy Director of
Service Delivery, Peter Sullivan said. “This was due to an offtake pipe being damaged by trees washed down in the recent floods, and the need to make it easier to inspect by dropping the water level. “This lowered the weir pool level and may have given the appearance that the silt level had risen.” The work is now complete and the valve has been turned off, with both Council and landowners confirming that the water upstream has returned to previous levels.
New to Cooma, veterinary surgeon Zachary Lederhose is starting to settle into his new position at Snowy Vets. Zach, 23, has just graduated from Charles Sturt University and is enjoying the experience from a very mixed practice. He hasn’t had far to travel to start his new job. His parents and grand parents all live at Burra, where his grandparents farm Angus cattle. So while the job is new, the area is familiar. After two weeks working with fellow vets Mike Mesley, Colin Taylor, George Timmins (now retired) and Ryan Leliard, Zach has seen a variety of cases. Having grown up with horses, dogs and cats, Zach has not yet decided if he wants to specialise – all the animals provide interesting and stimulating cases. He is interested in public health, especially food security, which is a subject he worked on at university. His days at Snowy Vets have been very full and rewarding. A typical day can include dealing with hospital cases, e.g. spays, clinical appointments, a daily meeting/debriefing, surgery of many varieties – as he says “all hands on deck” and more clinical appointments in the afternoon.

Add to that the odd veterinary emergency and farm visit and Zach is a busy person. He knows he is lucky to work in such a modern veterinary clinic, which was purpose built by Dr Mesley and opened only two years ago. The state-of-the-art clinic is complemented by professional and dedicated nursing staff. Zach has been impressed with the work the nurses do and how supportive they are of the vets. He is also appreciative of the mentoring from the other vets and the knowledge he can turn to them for advice and support, if needed. Newly graduated, Zach is at the start of what he hopes will be along career. Welcome to Cooma, Dr Lederhose.

Big science results for Jerangle Public School students Congratulations Jerangle for gaining amazing results in the science competition run by University of NSW. Seven students sat the competition and last week the results were posted to the school with four participation certificates and the remaining three students were awarded a Distinction level. The teachers, students, parents and community members were all very proud of the huge effort these students made before they sat the competition and how well they did. Year 2 student Ben was over the moon and was jumping out of
his skin when he was handed the distinction certificate. Year 3 student, Marcus was also extremely happy to be awarded the distinction while Year 6 student, Tom, was pleased to reach his goal to get a distinction before he moved onto high school. Well done to all the students and future science leaders in our community. Pictured, Jerangle Public School students with their science competition distinction awards.
Jerangle students had a super time celebrating National Science week by transforming their classroom into a world of discovery. Community members and parents joined in the fun and everyone enjoyed learning about all things science through various experiments during the morning. The excitement was hard to contain and the classroom was simply bursting with enthusiasm and exhilaration as things went pop, slide boom and click. The morning concluded with an enjoyable morning tea where students made sure parents and community members had plenty of tea, coffee, cakes and slices. Everyone declared the morning a huge success and look forward to being part of the National Science Week Brain

Good win for St Pat’s School Choir
11
COOMA ROTARY MARKETS This Sunday August 21st
The St Patrick’s Parish School Choir travelled to Canberra last Thursday for the 2016 Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn - Catholic Primary Schools Choir Festival. This very talented group of vocalists were led by Mrs Tina Rooney and accompanied by Mrs Jane Wilkinson. Six schools from across the Archdiocese took part in the competition. The day was once again organised by the Knights of the Southern Cross, Canberra Branch and hosted by St John Paul II College in Nicholls. The wonderful Performing Arts Centre of St John Paul’s provided the perfect backdrop for the six choirs, as their beautiful voices filled the auditorium. Special mention was given to the students from Year 3 through to Year 6, who had travelled the furthest to be there
and were very excited to be part of this wonderful event. St Patrick’s songs of ‘Hine e Hine’ (a Maori Lullaby) and ‘Hush ! Somebody’s Callin’ My Name’ (arranged by Brazeal W. Dennard) were sung to perfection and received a resounding applause by all in the audience. All six choirs presented a range of songs, that had the judges deliberating for quite some time. During the interval, St Patrick’s performed another two songs ‘One Little Candle’ composed by Audrey Snyders and ‘Wombat on a Surfboard’ composed by Louise Pettinger. All of the students under the guidance of Mrs Dee McFual and accompanied by Mr Jim Bowring, then joined together to sing ‘Galilee Song’ by Fr Frank Anderson - for
an all school combined choir that performed for Archbishop of Canberra & Goulburn, Christopher Prowse and Mrs Catherine Rey, Principal of St John Paul II College. All choirs are to be congratulated for their excellent listening skills as they sat and waited patiently for their turn. After the presentation of Appreciation Certificates, it was onto the Awards Ceremony. The feeling was that it was going to be very close with three of the six schools singing exceptionally well. After a nervous wait, it was finally announced that the Winner of the 2016 Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn - Catholic Primary Schools Choir Festival was St Patrick’s Parish School, Cooma. Needless to say the choir made up of Kate Carton, Charlotte Daikin, Annaliese Buckley, Kaitlin Stanger, Madie
Stanger, Erin Alexander, Kennedy Purcell, Sienna Davies, Emily Revelant, Grace Maxwell, Matilda Saxby Rendal, Georgia Rumball, Esther Robinson, Lottie WalkerBruce, Molly Brabham, Ava Barrett, Suki Blyth, Jack Barton and Ethan Stacey were overjoyed and thrilled with the final result. Considering Ava, Molly, Matilda and Kennedy have been in the choir for the past four years, it was a fitting way for these four senior Primary students to finish their time with the St Patrick’s Primary Choir.

QUALITY Threlfo recognised for 15 dedicated USED CARS Wednesday August 17, 2016
13
years of Marine Rescue service
Regional Commander for Monaro Bob Herbert ESM and Alpine Lakes Unit Commander Les Threlfo ESM receiving his medal.
Marine Rescue NSW Alpine Lakes Commander Les Threlfo ESM has received his 15 year service medal in recognition of providing outstanding service in the Emergency Service Sector in the Snowy River Region. Les started in 2001 after retiring from the police force and moving to the region. He was the local Controller of the SES Snowy River Unit for 12 years and whilst serving the community as Controller was asked by the NSW Police and Marine Rescue NSW to start up the first Inland Unit of Marine Rescue
NSW on the Alpine Lakes in 2011. Les has built up the unit now with 52 members and two vessels, one on Lake Eucumbene and the other on Lake Jindabyne. Since 2001 Les has worked tirelessly for the benefit of the local community and serves the community above and beyond the call of duty. He is on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year from both the police and the public. Les has provided commitment and professionalism at the highest level and offers endless support and encouragement to all volunteers.
New waste ‘point of disposal’ charges If residents of the former Cooma-Monaro Shire area have visited their local landfill lately, they will have received a letter outlining some new charges. In an effort to encourage recycling, Snowy Monaro Regional Council has introduced Point of Disposal charges for household waste. As of November 1 2016 residents will have to pay $5 for a 120 litre bin, which is equivalent to the red lidded bin, and $10 for a 240 litre bin, which is the regular sized wheelie bin. This is in addition to a Waste Management Charge of $101 to be added to rates. This system is in line with the former Snowy River Shire Council waste management fees, which were introduced about two years ago. The former Rural Waste Charge of $193.60 covering a disposal of 240 litres per week for rural residents will be removed from their rates notice and replaced with the new $101 fee. For residents of villages such as Nimmitabel, Numeralla and Bredbo who do not have a curbside collection service in place, the cost is going to add up if they visit their transfer stations regularly. However, with the dumping of recyclables being free, there is the opportunity to reduce household waste. If household waste can be reduced to a single 240 litre bin per month, costing $10 for disposal under the new fees, rural
residents will end up saving money on previous years. The letter describes an intention to limit the amount that gets put into our landfills. By recycling, the amount that gets dumped will be decreased which is better for
the environment as well as the lifespan of the landfill. The new Point of Disposal fees will be introduced to the transfer stations at Bredbo, Nimmitabel, Numeralla and collection points at Smiths Road and Michelago. They will also be introduced
at Cooma Landfill for rural residents. How to process the payments on site is still being decided and council will notify residents once a decision has been made.

Local aspiring film makers into Spring Ball here again the 2016 YOOFTube finals Young filmmakers from Cooma and Numeralla are amongst the finalist of the 2016 YOOFTube competition. Young people aged 12-20 from Bega Valley, Eurobodalla and Snowy Monaro were invited to submit short films to South East Arts’ annual competition. This year the quality was exceptionally high and judges spent hours deliberating the shortlist. The finalists are: Crushed by Zach Hooker, (15) from Milligandi Flowers by Laila Bradshaw, (16) from Cooma Escape by Oscar Litchfield, (17) of Numeralla Victoria’s Secret by Lucca Paijmans, (19) from Tathra City Animals by Jessica Palacios (15) and Carlie Stolzenhyein (16) of Bald Hills Bigger Things by Rian Reynolds (17) of Tura Beach Escape by Daniel Swain, (17) of Cooma Everyone is Different by Ben Angus (16) from Bega Possbilities by Ruby Bichard (12) of Pambula To Say a Sound by Annabelle Scobie (16) from Moruya Jye Mc Donald by Lachlan Callender (15) of Bodalla Turnaround by Anna Brayshaw (13), Julia Davies (14),
Brianna Rankin (13) and Sophie Williams (13) from Cooma CYADSS: The Movie by Patrick Ballard (18) from Cooma The winners of the various prizes including up to $1000 cash will be announced at simultaneous screenings of the films at The Picture Show Man in Merimbula and The Kinema in Narooma on 12 September. Other screenings will take place across the region in September including Cooma, Eden and Batemans Bay. Some entrants took part in South East Arts’ supported filmmaking workshops across the region in the lead up to the competition. These covered skills like storyboarding, editing and scriptwriting. Mrs Kate Howarth, Screen Industry Development Officer from South East Arts said, “These days filmmaking is so accessible. YOOFTube has received entries made on anything from mobile phones to high-end cameras. It’s a great avenue for storytelling and something the youth of the region really connect with.� “With no restrictions on genre or subject, filmmakers are able to really express themselves. There are often recurring themes in the films that are entered into YOOFTube,
mirroring the experiences and social consciousness of regional youth.� “South East Arts is proud to present YOOFTube each year and we love encouraging young filmmakers. Who knows? We could be fostering the next big Australian movie success story in our region. We received record entries this year and were really happy to see a large number of those came from the Snowy Monaro,� she said. In 2016, as well as generous support from author Jamie Shaw, local businesses and organisations, seven professional regional filmmakers have come on board to provide workshop and mentoring opportunities for the YOOFTube winners. This is a reflection of the work South East Arts has been doing with the assistance of Screen NSW - identifying, supporting and bringing together filmmakers and storytellers across the south east. Full details of YOOFTube screenings and awards will be announced soon and you can find out more information at the YOOFTube Facebook page or the South East Arts website www.southeastarts.org.au.
The second annual Rotary Spring Ball will be held on August 27 to raise money for the Cooma Hospital Auxiliary. In 2015 the ball sold out and a number of people found themselves on the waiting list, making the 2016 event a highly anticipated affair.

he Cooma Ex Services Club, with decorations being taken care of by the talented Bev Corbett. Entertainment will be provided by Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen and wine, juice and a light supper is included in the ticket price. Tickets to the Spring Ball can be purchased at The Fabric Salon in Vale Street.
Rising river alert for Snowy River below Jindabyne Dam DPI Water today issued a ‘rising river alert’ for the Snowy River between Jindabyne Dam and Dalgety in southern NSW for Wednesday 17 August 2016. The river will rise due to the first high-flow event in a series of five planned environmental releases from Jindabyne Dam to the Snowy River during winter and spring 2016. The highest flow rate will occur at Jindabyne Dam from 7am to 3pm on Wednesday August 17 and will be equivalent to 2,236 megalitres per day for the eight hour period. For the remainder of Wednesday August
17, the flow rate will be equivalent to 1,700 megalitres per day. The flow rate will drop back to 632 megalitres per day on Thursday. The environmental changes from this release are expected to be greatest between the dam wall to the junction with the Delegate River. However, the pulse will be noticeable down to the estuary in Victoria. It is expected to see the river water level at Dalgety rise from 0.93m to 1.26m, a rise of 0.33m. This is one of four secondary highflow events for 2016, with water released from the cone valves at Jindabyne Dam. It is important to note that water released at
Jindabyne will take about six hours to reach Dalgety Weir at this flow rate. Landholders downstream of the Jindabyne Dam are advised to take all necessary precautions with stock, fencing and property. This high-flow event for 2016 has been officially named ‘Waawii’, which means water spirit, in recognition of the Wongalu traditional people, who have an enduring and strong connection to the Snowy Mountains and the Snowy River. All five high-flow events in the Snowy River during winter and spring 2016 have been named by the regional aboriginal communities
- Bidwell-Maap, Wongalu, Southern MoneroYuin-Bolga, Maneroo-Ngarigo and Wiradjuri - who recognise the link between these high flows and the health of the Snowy River. DPI Water will work with the NSW State Emergency Service and Bureau of Meteorology to provide information to the community regarding the management of this release should weather conditions warrant. More information can be found at - www. water.nsw.gov.au or by calling 1800 353 104.

From the paddock to the runway, Prepare your home and Charly is youngest in FASHFEST yard for windy weather From a dress made of paper at five years old, to the youngest ever fashion designer in a big Canberra show, Charly Thorn is living her dream. FASHFEST is Canberra’s biggest fashion event held every year to showcase local design talent. Normally picking graduate designers to feature in the show, Charly has been chosen at just 17 years old. Currently in her final year of school at St Mary MacKillop College Canberra, Charly is working two jobs in order to fund her constant design projects. “I’ve always had a passion for design, it is in my blood,� she says, “I am constantly drawing and I think designing and making clothes is my way of expressing my creative energy.� Charly participated in the Community Chest event, Fashionation, earlier in the year. The event raised $25,000 for local people in need and was a celebration of an industry very close to the heart of the Monaro; Merino wool. It was hosted in the
Gordon Litchfield Wool shed at Polo Flat, Cooma and was a sell-out success. The pieces that Charly designed wowed the audience, and she even had the opportunity to dress and style super model Anneliese Seubert for the runway. “Fashionation was a really good experience and I got lots of great feedback about my designs,� says Charly, “All the Community Chest members and the Gordon Litchfield Wool team did an amazing job.� For FASHFEST, which takes place over September 29, 30 and October 1, Charly is again returning to Merino wool. “I really want to showcase my local region by using wool for the 12 outfits I have to come up with for FASHFEST,� she says, “All the wool I am using is Australian grown, processed and dyed and it will be used as the base for my whole collection.� “I am really looking forward to the experience of being involved in FASHFEST. I hope to create more relationships with suppliers and manufacturers as well as build my portfolio.� Once leaving school, Charly aims to get into Ultimo TAFE, which is renowned as having the best Bachelor of Design course for fashion in the country. “The ultimate dream is to be able to study design in New York, but maybe in a couple of years.�

Essential Energy is reminding customers to prepare their homes for the traditionally windy months of the year and minimise the risk of power outages caused by branches and debris being blown into powerlines. Regional manager Southern, Steven Ilitch, said August through to November was renowned for gusty winds that could pick up vegetation or other objects and pitch them into powerlines or cause wires to clash. “We urge householders to clear up their yards, remove loose debris and anchor items such as furniture, sheds and play equipment to minimise the risk of strong winds blowing them into powerlines,� Steven said.
“It pays to visually inspect trees near the power network and report any clearance concerns to Essential Energy – don’t attempt to prune vegetation near powerlines.� Essential Energy recommends taking care when venturing outdoors in windy weather and remaining alert to potential electrical hazards. “Exercise caution when engaging in outdoor activities, such as kite flying, during wild winds and remember to keep well clear of overhead powerlines,� Steven said. If you come across a fallen powerline, stay at least eight metres away from the wires and anything in contact with them and call Essential Energy immediately on 13 20 80.

The flight is booked, so is the hotel and you have a list of things you want to see and do. You have sorted out visas, passports and converted some currency. You’re all ready to go right? Wrong! How are you going to get from place to place? Is your plane arriving very early or very late? How do you get to your hotel? Or how do you get to the airport in the first place? Transfers and transport is an important element of a trip, and can make or break a trip. Here are some tips to set you on the right track.
2. Ask your hotel if they have shuttles. Many hotels in high tourist areas have shuttle services. For example, if staying in a Universal Studios hotel, free shuttles are available to the theme park. Or if you are staying at a resort in Bali, they may have a shuttle to local attractions. It never hurts to ask about such things.
taxis can be a viable option. Shuttles often charge per person so sometimes the taxi is the cheaper option. Taxi drivers are also quite knowledgeable about the area and in comparison to Australian taxis, can be quite reasonable in price. Just make sure you don’t have too much luggage and you pay attention to make sure you are using a licensed taxi. Check the Id of the driver and make sure that they always use the meter.
3. Use reputable companies. A quick Google of transfer reviews in the area you wish to visit will soon narrow the list. Otherwise book with a well know compa- 6. Public transport. I would not recomny. mend public transport after a long flight with luggage; however I would happily 1. Bundle your airport transfers with your 4.

It is a you up and drop you off to the airport, with the transfer company. Just like lot cheaper then a taxi! and often the service is free or with a everything else, you may need these to nominal charge. Take advantage of this as prove to the driver that you have paid for 7. Walking. As above, not recommended much as you can! Even if the service is the trip. if you have a load of bags! But if you have free, don’t forget to tip your driver if you a couple of kms between attractions, 5. Taxis are still an option. If only travelling walk! You never know what you will see or are in a tipping country. a short distance or with a larger party, come across.

Professional shows students how to draw cartoons Cartoonist Andrew Hore visited Cooma last week to share his craft with local children. Having drawn cartoons and comic strips for various newspapers and magazines, Andrew had heaps of tips for the kids. Andrew’s workshops were held at the Cooma Library, the Cooma Public School and Dalgety Public School to very captive audiences. The Library invited Andrew to hold his workshops as part of their Children’s Book Week celebrations this month. They
had about 100 students attend the workshops at the Library after school last week. All went home with a few drawings they were very proud of. Andrew taught the children some basic when it comes to quick drawing cartoons and caricatures. He showed them some basic shapes to work with when drawing cartoons, and to always start with the nose when working with facial features. Most importantly, he said, was to have fun and be creative.
Cooma Public School enjoys science with a bang In celebration of National Science Week, Cooma Public School had a special guest visit last week. Dr Graham Walker of Science ShowOffs came to the school to perform his show Extraordinary Science with Ordinary Stuff. From drinking straws to hair dryers, Dr Graham showed the children some amazing scientific experiments you can do with everyday things in your very own house. Some you can try at home, and some you should definitely not try at home. The entire school and some of the community came to the show and all the students were rolling
around with laughter. Dr Graham had them captivated with his invention of a marshmallow bazooka, a hover chair and candle blower outer-er. Learning about Newton’s laws, gravity and chemistry, the children loved the fun educational experience with Dr Graham. Some brave volunteers even went up on stage to help Dr Graham with the experiments, learning how it all works first hand. The Cooma Library organised the visit to the school in celebration of National Science Week.

the
postman calls
The Postman would like to wish Josh Alford all the very best as he flies out to Rio this weekend to contest the Paralympic Games. Swim hard and enjoy yourself Josh – we’ll all be watching! The Postman must confess to have become a bit hooked on the Olympics, especially the basketball, the diving and the swimming. (And the 30 seconds of equestrian events that were on at a reasonable hour) But who ever thought the Campbell sisters would not win medals in their individual events. That’s the Olympics for you – even a sure bet is really only at long odds. But there needs to be a reality check somewhere. For instance, all gymnasts should be made to stand alongside a height guide so viewers can have a full appreciation of how tiny they are. Years ago we went through all the allegations of body manipulation by some Eastern European countries to allow their female gymnasts to remain minute. That’s not still happening is it? Really?

Easy solution to brumby ‘problem’ Editor, Cooma could be the “wild horse capital of Australia”. If Phillip Adams, Geraldine Doogue or Mark Colvin of Radio National were to run a story on the brumbies’ plight, it would be a certainty. Australia-wide the Brumbies predicament is not known, of course this is not part of the NPWS plan. That would be too ethical and might mean work. Instead we have the submissions procedure. It will be so easy to say due to a lack of interest the wild horses will have to be eradicated. It’s another case of let’s walk over the taxpayer, treat the ‘sheeple’ with disdain and go ahead with the death sentence. We’ll sit in our Landcruisers, behind our laptops in lavish offices. There’ll be no sweat equity, no deep thought of how we could be innovative, save our heritage, promote how life, create satisfying employment and benefit such a huge cross section of the community and Australia at large. A stroke of the pen, or is it the push of a button? Is easier, just end it all and the ‘sheeple’ will go away, give up and say oh well, we tried, the government knows best. What is wrong with permanent yards, a regular harvest of brumbies with an adoption plan? So many people would benefit as would the land and the horse. A life-promoting, unique exercise that could only bring good. It would be inspirational and ground breaking, If
it’s the will of the people it should be done. Australia spends so much time and money ensuring the survival of the Mongolian native horse whilst ours is continually on death row! Nothing has been tried – that’s the sad part. Lack of try, lack of faith…lack of imagination. We have whole towns and skifields inside national parks so I can’t see why trapping yards would be a problem. I have said nothing original here – it’s all been said a thousand times, but this is my submission made public, no red tape, no nonsense protocol and nobody saying ‘due to a lack of interest”. There won’t be much love on Cooma if the locals let this issue slide the NPWS way. Surely empathy, romance, honest labour and common sense can remain in our lives. I am not a horse person. I have little knowledge of the horse, but I smell a rat, and it’s a big one! Greg O’Donoghue Bendoc Footnote: In October 2000 it was 600 horses not 500 as previously stated that were killed and ‘half-killed’ by NPWS in Guy Fawkes National Park, NSW. What a hideous crime. Can you imagine the carnage? I believe in national parks, I know the horse does damage but there is no need for criminal activity. Total costs $130,000. I realise the horse is not native, but what if they were?

Mature Mob visits Pegasus and Lanyon Thursday, August 4 was the latest outing for the Mature Mob and the day was cool and fine as we set out for our trip to Canberra. Our first stop was to the Pegasus riding school for the disabled in Tuggeranong where we arrived just in time to sit and watch a couple of students have their class. Whilst watching we were given an informative talk on the history and mission of Pegasus and to see first hand the positive contribution it makes to those with varying disabilities. Most of those involved volunteer their time and skills. We were then given a sumptious morning tea made and served by the volunteers of Pegasus before heading for
the bus to make our way to St Paul’s Ginninderra community centre . They have a small cafe, manned by volunteers, as well as a foodbank centre and meeting place for various groups. It was a hub of activity. We spent the next hour there being served a delicious hot meal for lunch and enjoying catching up with each other. Our final stop for the day was to Lanyon homestead at Tharwa. On arrival, we were split into groups and taken around the complex by volunteer guides who gave us the history of this beautiful house, stables and garden. Our tour ended with, you
guessed it - afternoon tea at the Lanyon cafe!! surrounded by the very pretty and peaceful setting of hills, river, and homestead. We arrived back in Cooma shortly after five after a comfortable and safe trip (due to Richard’s driving) and a good day was had by all. The next mature mob trip will be to NPWS Waste Point Depot and the Snowy Vineyard Estate Dalgety with lunch at the CWA Jindabyne. Bookings and or enquiries for this trip will be open on September 1 by ringing Heather Jauncey on 64544305 or emailing maturemob@coomaanglican. org.au. Mature mob is an initiative of the Anglican parish of Cooma.
100 years of Red Cross donated to NSW State Library Australian Red Cross is donating 100 years of its NSW archive to the State Library of NSW, providing an extraordinary record of a global organisation that was practically launched in Australia with a pair of hand made knitted socks, it was announced today. According to NSW State Librarian & Chief Executive, Alex Byrne: “Red Cross has been on the front of almost every significant event in recent history starting with the First World War to more recent natural disasters – so this significant archive, dating from 1914 to 2014, is an invaluable addition to the State Library’s rich collections relating to life in Australia.� The archive tells the story of Red Cross’ humanitarian work, its volunteers, supporters and the people it has helped across NSW through some 7,400 photographs, over 500 boxes of manuscripts, posters and memorabilia, 40 framed pictures and Red Cross publications. In August 1914 – soon after the outbreak of the First World War – Red Cross was formally established in Australia. The desire to assist the war effort was so strong that by November 1914, 88 urban branches and 249 country branches of Red Cross had opened up across NSW. Groups of volunteers (mostly women) knitted socks, rolled bandages and prepared comfort parcels to send to the troops. Australian Red Cross Executive Director NSW Jody Broun says, “That selfless desire to help those in need has taken Red Cross volunteers to all corners of Australia during times of conflict and disaster. “The archive also documents our important day to day work; like supporting isolated older people, helping families who are doing it tough, and providing assistance to people who have
crossed the globe in search of a safe home,� she says. “Over the next two years we’ll be transferring 100 years of our NSW division archives to the State Library of NSW where they will be preserved, gradually digitised and made available to students, historians and members of the public,� says Ms Broun. Australian Red Cross historian and Chair of History at Flinders University, Professor Melanie Oppenheimer says that she has been waiting 30 years for this moment. “Few people realise the depth and breadth of this extraordinary humanitarian organisation over time,� says Professor
Oppenheimer. “I am thrilled that through this generous donation to the State Library, this priceless collection of Australia’s pre-eminent charitable organisation will be preserved for future generations.� To celebrate this significant donation to the State Library, a small selection of unique items from the Red Cross archive will go on display in the Library’s Amaze Gallery from 12 August to 12 September 2016, including: a 1914 collection tin, a pattern for the red cape worn by girls in the junior Red Cross, a WWI photo album featuring the Anzac Buffet and Spanish Influenza Epidemic and a trauma teddy and knitting pattern.

PUBLIC NOTICES……… NIMMITABEL WATER SUPPLY LIFTING OF LEVEL 3 WATER RESTRICTIONS
Snowy Monaro Regional Council now controls the recently completed Lake Wallace Dam. The water supply level of the dam is at capacity following recent wet weather events and surface water availability from the Maclaughlin River remains steady. All consumers serviced by the Nimmitabel Water Supply Scheme are advised that the requirement to maintain level 3 water restrictions have now ceased subject to further notice. Nimmitabel residents are advised that Nimmitabel’s Water Supply Scheme is subject to surface water flow availability from the Maclaughlin River. To ensure a continued water supply to meet essential needs and maintain sufficient reserves for fire fighting purposes, Snowy Monaro Regional Council, in accordance with the Local Government (Water Services) Regulation 1999, Cl 5, advises consumers to Conserve Water whilst under Level 0 restrictions effective from 15 August 2016. Some tips for water conservation: • Only water plants when they need it and water gardens during the cool of the day; • Using mulch reduces evaporation; • By watering longer and less often your plants become more drought resistant; • The use of tap timers and trigger nozzle hose attachments reduces consumption; • Use a broom instead of the hose to clean paths and driveways; • Replace the washers in leaking taps; • Concealed water leaks in plumbing and water using appliances may be identified by checking your water meter; • Use dual flush toilet cisterns; • Take shorter showers; • Only use the washing machine or dishwasher when it is full.

Finance Consultant Whatever your home loan requirements, let me find the best solution for you!
ARE YOU SELF-EMPLOYED, OR A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER WANTING TO BUY A HOUSE OR COMMERCIAL PREMISES? FINDING IT HARD TO GET FINANCE? I often hear from people that they are struggling getting finance through their Bank as they are self-employed. Or they want to buy their business premises, but the rates are so much higher. Come and talk to me. I have years of experience in reading business financials and tax returns, and know how to present them to the Lender in an application. I also know which Lender’s policies will give you more chance of an approval, as they do have different assessment policies. There are also some Lenders out there who are offering business loans on low residential rates, using either residential or commercial security. One Lender at the moment, has a variable rate of under 4.50% for business loans, with either residential or commercial security. To find out more, or to see if it would suit your needs, contact me for an obligation free appointment. I also have built up some connections and referral partners, so that if I am unable to assist directly, I can refer you to someone who may be able to. If you are looking for equipment finance or leasing, I can arrange for someone to contact you to discuss options. Being self-employed also means you need to look after other areas of your financial situation, to ensure you are on the right track. Damian Toms is a senior financial planner, who can offer advice on areas such as personal insurance, super, wealth creation, and retirement planning. I confidently refer my clients to him, and receive very positive feedback. I can arrange for him to call you or make an appointment to meet. So, whatever your current situation is, I am more than happy to have a chat and see if I can improve your situation.
Please call me for an appointment, on mobile: 0431 351 873

A tail too short costs money By Dr Pat Kluver, Livestock Biosecurity Network regional manager

A recent MLA report investigating the relationship between tail length and arthritis has shown that sheep with short tails are at greater risk of developing arthritis. Arthritis costs the sheep industry around $39 million each year through slow growth rates, deaths and trimming at the abattoirs. The work was carried out by veterinary consultant, Dr Joan Lloyd and compared the rate of arthritis in lambs with correct tail length and those with short docked tails, finding the rate of arthritis was significantly higher in lambs with tails that were docked too short. While there has been plenty of reason to cut tails the correct length before now, this new study has given more reason to get it right. The recommendation for tail length is the third palpable joint of the tail which is about the length that just covers the vulva in ewes.There are a number of problems seen with docking tails too short, including increased risk of
fly strike, prolapsed rectums and skin cancer of the vulva. Sheep with short tails are two to three times more likely to be affected by breech strike, due to their inability to raise the tail properly while defecating. As well rectal prolapse is seen in lambs with short tails at around four times the level we see in tails docked at the recommended length. If tails are cut short enough to expose the bare areas of the vulva this can lead to an increase in skin cancer in older ewes. Short docked tails can result in a larger wound, slower healing and a higher level of infection. Arthritis is caused by bacteria entering the body usually through a wound and lodging in the joint. Around 20 percent of sheep in the study had tails shorter than the recommended tail length and in these sheep, the risk of arthritis was 1.5 times that of sheep with correctly docked tails. This means if you stop docking tails short you’ll reduce the level of arthritis by
around a third in your lambs. Docking tails short accounts for around 10% of arthritis cases in the overall population so if we eliminate this practice it would result in savings to the industry of around $3.9 million annually. Arthritis affects sheep on farm in a number of ways including poor growth, mortalities and unmarketable sheep which cannot be finished or trucked for welfare reasons. At the abattoir, legs are trimmed to the next clean joint, resulting in an average loss of 750 gms per carcase with the occasional whole carcase condemned if more than four joints are affected. As well as marking and mulesing, there are a number of causes of arthritis including post dipping arthritis caused by poor dip hygiene and dipping within two weeks of shearing before wounds have healed. Antibiotics can be used to treat cases if diagnosed early.

NSW Farmers has welcomed the NSW Government’s move to enable the regulated growing of alkaloid poppy crops in NSW. NSW Farmers’ President Derek Schoen said the move will provide a niche high valued market opportunity for those growers able to meet the necessary safeguards proposed by the new framework. ‘The Poppy Industry Bill 2016 will allow licensed processing companies to establish poppy supply arrangements with farmers in NSW,’ said Mr Schoen. ‘It will establish robust regimes
preventing unauthorised growing or use of the poppies that will ensure the industry is able to meet the state’s strong community standards as well as our international obligations. ‘This move recognises that a safe and stable jurisdiction like NSW is able to safely contribute to the world’s growing need for alkaloid poppy based pharmaceutical medicines,’ concluded Mr Schoen. Once commenced, growers who meet the licensing requirements and have established supply contracts with licensed processors will be able to participate in the poppy industry.

New milestone for Australian cattle prices their own, consistently accounting for 44 per cent of EYCI cattle bought for the past four months. “Processors usually account for 29 per cent of the July EYCI purchases (fiveyear average), but during July 2016, they collectively only bought 15 per cent. “This is the lowest proportion of processor EYCI acquisitions in over six years and truly highlights where the cattle market strength is being generated.â€? Mr Thomas said EYCI cattle had averaged over 700¢/kg cwt at numerous selling centres over the past week including at Wagga Wagga, CTLX Carcoar, Gunnedah, Scone, Singleton, Dubbo and Roma store sale. Looking forward, Mr Thomas said the biggest factor influencing where the EYCI will eventually peak is the depth of restocker pockets. “Three things typically happen to the EYCI from August to November – prices ease, restockers take a step back and processors purchase fewer EYCI cattle at the end of spring compared to the end of winter,â€? Mr Thomas said. “Whether or not these trends occur in 2016 remains to be seen, but if the average price decline were to be repeated, the
EYCI would remain in the mid-600¢/kg cwt territory. “The trend least likely to occur, for the first time, is processors taking any further steps back in the number of EYCI cattle purchased – especially considering the very low proportion of acquisitions they are currently making.â€?

The Australian cattle market’s recordbreaking run reached a historic milestone today with the Eastern Young Cattle Indicator (EYCI) hitting 700 cents per kilogram carcase (dressed) weight (c/kg cwt). The EYCI is the general benchmark of Australian cattle prices and is a seven-day rolling average. EYCI eligible cattle are C2 and C3 vealer and yearling steers and heifers sold in Eastern Seaboard saleyards. The meteoric rise has seen just seven months pass since the EYCI hit 600¢/kg cwt on 13 January this year, and just over 14 months since it surpassed 500¢/kg on 17 June, 2015. Meat & Livestock Australia’s (MLA) Manager of Market Information, Ben Thomas, said widespread rain across the eastern states, combined with the national cattle herd sitting at a 20-year low, had pushed the EYCI into previously unchartered territory. “As outlined in the recently released MLA July cattle industry projections, restockers have been the driving force behind the EYCI bolting through the 600s during June and July,â€? Mr Thomas said. “Restockers accounted for 41 per cent of EYCI-eligible purchases in July, up from 34 per cent in the same month last year. “At the same time, lot feeders have held

Bairnsdale Livestock Exchange Understanding soil health is one of the most critical elements in ensuring success on farming properties. Healthy soils absorb water and promote plant and animal nutrition and health. Resilient soils are better able to retain function during, and recover after, stress or disturbance - such as too much or too little rain. However, despite the good practices of many of our farmers and land managers, soil health has been depleted. Carbon content is often reduced, due to a lack of organic matter, and resultant water-holding capacity is poor. With this in mind Upper Snowy Landcare are pleased to be holding a two day Soil Health Workshop on 23rd September & 4th November on the Monaro. The workshops will be facilitated by David
Hardwick, an agro- ecologist with over 20 years experience in sustainable agriculture, from agronomy and soils to R&D, fertiliser manufacturing and training. The workshops will be a mix of theory and hands-on content - “The aim is to help landholders to understand and assess soil ecosystems, to objectively determine soil health and to get hands on with their own soil testing� explained Anna Rudd, Upper Snowy Landcare Coordinator; “as well as a simple take home DIY soil health kit, participants will also be able to do two comprehensive soil tests - that’s over $250 worth of soil tests for free�. On the second day of the workshops participants will then learn how to interpret the results of their own soil tests, identify any soil restraints that may impact on their productivity and

Schute Bell Wool report Farm transition workshop The first sale back after the annual three week recess had just over 52,000 bales on offer nationally. AWEX report that this is the largest post recess opening sale in five years. As such it is probably no surprise that the market gave up some ground and buyers were able to be selective with their purchases. After minor losses on the first day of sales the market continued to retreat on the final day. Lower style tender types suffered the largest falls as the week progressed with significant premiums being paid for better style sound types. Merino Cardings also came under the spotlight this week falling in excess of 40 cents. 48,228 bales were sold nationally for the week with a passed in rate of 7.6%. Major buyers included
Chinatex, Lempriere and PJ Morris, with the top 4 buyers accounting for 50% of the Merino Fleece offering. Forward markets were a little more active than usual during the recess with short dated contracts 50-60 cents under the current physical and prices towards the end of the year closer to 100 cents away. Considering the volume on offer this week the market performed well and quantities on offer will decline over the coming weeks. This week’s sales:
42,851 bales are expected to be on offer nationally next week with 14,255 in Sydney. Schute Bell, Wool Auctions, Goddard and Monaro Wool are selling on Thursday the 18th of August.
Pictured, members of the panel at last Friday’s transition workshop: Mike Stephens, Richard Knight, Peter Muirhead, Jim Buckley, Jim Symons, Jono Forrest, Ted O’Kane, Darren Seacomb, Jacki Schirmir, John Scarlett, Brendon Cockerill and James Leigo. Local farmers attended a workshop at the Alpine Hotel Cooma last Friday to talk farm transition. Sponsored by the Monaro Farming Systems group and the Department of Primary Industries Rural Resilience Program, the workshop follows a successful seminar held last November when around 100 people sought practical
advice on the range of farm transition options available. Rural Resilience officer, Ted O’Kane, said the overwhelming interest in this issue and feedback from the previous forum indicated a strong appetite for more targeted information that farmers could use to start the often vexed process of leaving the farm. Similarly,
transition arrangements for retiring farmers provided potential opportunities for younger operators seeking an entry into a farming business. Despite the challenges for young farmers, opportunities are emerging, along with some new thinking, particularly in regions where small to medium sized farms are run by older operators
looking towards retirement, according to some keen industry observers. “There are great opportunities for those farmers prepared to relinquish some control but there are also significant risks if people get it wrong,� McMichael & Associates consultant, and panel member Jim Symon, said.
Plan your burning and notify Keeping the Monaro cool A public meeting in Michelago on Saturday will address how the Monaro region can be kept cool and extremes of weather limited as the climate changes. Walter Jehne, a retired soil microbiologist and now with Healthy Soils Australia, will look at the history of farming in the region since it was first sketched and surveyed by Stewart Ryrie in the 1840s. “Back then, it was much more vegetated region and trees captured moisture from
south-easterly winds. Now, without tree cover along the ridge lines, the region is much drier and vulnerable to desertification,� says Mr Jehne. “To continue farming, we have to restore the regions, and the Earth’s soil carbon sponge. “We can do it practically and profitably by farmers drawing down up to 10 tonnes of carbon per hectare annually (10 tC/ha/an) from the air back into our soils.� Mr Jehne will be
looking at how local and international policy developments will either aid or impede the process, including what is likely to happen at the United Nations’ Framework Convention on Climate Change’s (UNFCCC’s) Conference of Parties (COP22) meeting in Marrakech in Morocco in November this year. Public meeting: Michelago Village Hall, Ryrie Street, 2.30pm Saturday 20 August 2016. Organised by Climate Action Monaro.
The NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) today advised landholders and managers to ensure they have undertaken adequate preparations before conducting any burn-offs on their property. “The NSW RFS encourages landholders to be proactive in reducing fuel loads on their property, but more importantly we want people to conduct burns safely and legally,� said District Technical Officer, Ailish Germain. “History has shown that problems occur when people do not adequately supervise fires and escaped burns can be very difficult for our firefighters to contain. “Every landholder has a responsibility to prevent fire from spreading from their property and there can be serious consequences for people who light fires and then leave them unattended. “For any burning to be effective, residents need to take weather conditions and forecasts into consideration, before lighting up. With our cured grasses across the Snowy Monaro area, it doesn’t take much wind for a controlled fire to escape. Having adequate containment lines in place and knowing the weather forecast is essential before
lighting up. “The over-riding concern should always be safety, so never conduct a burn if conditions are not suitable. NSW RFS members can provide advice on fire permits, hazard reduction certificates, environmental approvals, weather forecasts and how best to prepare and conduct a burn. “The NSW RFS has a number of publications available through local brigades or Fire Control Centres which can assist landowners in planning and carrying out fire related activities safely,� District Technical Officer, Ailish Germain. “Remember you are required by law notify your neighbours and local fire authority 24 hours before starting any burning. You can notify the RFS Monaro Team on 6455 0455 Monday-Friday during business hours. Failure to notify is an offence and can result in penalities “A person who lights a fire without the required approvals is guilty of an offence with penalties including large fines and/or imprisonment.� For more information contact Monaro RFS on 64550455 or visit www.rfs.nsw.gov.au.

Fixing Country Rail projects to improve farmer returns NSW Farmers has welcomed the NSW Government’s announcement of a $15 million investment in the regional rail freight network as part of its Fixing Country Rail Pilot Program. The announcement made by Minister for Freight, Duncan Gay includes funding for six regional rail projects and planning for a further four rail improvements. NSW Farmers President, Derek Schoen says the funding is recognition of the importance of regional freight to the NSW economy. “The NSW Government has walked the walk in facilitating regional development in New South Wales,” Mr Schoen said. “Importantly these six projects are a just a taste of things to come and will build on the
Government’s $400 million commitment to fund the full Fixing Country Rail program. ‘Presently farmers across NSW see almost a third of the value of their produce eaten up in direct freight costs before even factoring the additional cost freight adds to the cost of important inputs like fertiliser and chemicals. ‘The Government’s investment in regional rail networks will result in lower transport costs and more money in farmers’ pockets and our regional towns. ‘This frees up farmers to further invest in their on-farm productivity, driving growth in their regions and across the state,” said Mr Schoen. NSW Farmers encourages the Government to expedite the full Fixing Country Rail
program to bring forward the full benefits that it will bring to regional NSW. The pilot program includes investments in rail sidings at Barellan, Burren Junction and Hillston that will partner with GrainCorp’s Project Regeneration. As part of these projects GrainCorp has given assurances to the NSW Government and NSW Farmers that it will reduce freight rates and to drop its $2.50 third party export rail outload fee from these sites. NSW Farmers will work with GrainCorp to see the removal of the outload fee from across its sites in NSW and improve transparency in the NSW freight market to ensure these benefits are distributed to farmers. Reopening 2.8 kilometers of rail east of
Moree will also enable Broadbent Grain’s receival facility to access rail efficiently, providing enhanced competition with existing grain receival sites which will drive farm gate returns. Likewise, enabling short haul rail into Young by re-opening the Demondrille branchline into Maimuru will provide access to producers and manufacturers in Young to rail services lowering their costs. Fixing Country Rail is part of the NSW Liberals and Nationals’ Memorandum of Understanding commitment to NSW Farmers to invest a minimum of $6 billion of infrastructure and regional transport in electorates that support agricultural production.
Australian blueberries transforming farms across the globe The grandfather of Australia’s blueberry industry is joining forces with World Vision and Coles customers to transform the lives of farmers across the globe. Northern New South Wales blueberry company Mountain Blue Farms will donate five cents from every blueberry punnet sold in Coles towards helping farmers to improve soil quality, irrigation and boost yield in order to produce enough food for some of the world’s poorest communities. Mountain Blue founder Ridley Bell, from Lindendale, first introduced the blueberry to Australia in 1976 showcasing the fruit, which he had grown in a Melbourne research centre, in the Victorian Produce Markets. “People had no idea what they were,” he said. “They had never seen blueberries before.” Since then, Mr Bell has been perfecting the blueberry and his Eureka variety is now farmed across the globe. But as his fortunes have grown, he has quietly sought to give back to the community. “Mountain Blue has been at the forefront of blueberry innovation in Australia for four decades,” World Vision CEO Tim Costello said. “But the innovation has not only been on the farm but in the form of social innovation where the Bells are helping
communities both on their doorstep and across the world.” Blueberry production has grown from 60 tonnes to over 1000 tonnes in just five years. As production has grown so too have the economic opportunities with around 1000 pickers and packers to help deliver this year’s harvest. “I have seen with my business how a
farm can not only provide income for my family but opportunities for many others,” Mr Bell said. “When I visited World Vision’s projects, I saw farmers doing back-
breaking work and struggling to generate enough income to support their family. But with the right support to improve their soil quality, infrastructure and yield, these farmers can not only provide for their families but deliver jobs and opportunities for their entire community to escape poverty.” Coles General Manager Fresh Produce, Brad Gorman said, “Our customers loved Eureka blueberries last year and we’re really excited to have the unique blueberry variety back in season and available for our customers to not only enjoy but also support such a worthy cause. “Coles is proud to work alongside innovative Australian growers like Mountain Blue Farms to help them grow their business and organisations like World Vision to support communities around the world,” said Brad. Mountain Blue has already funded more than $1.2 million in World Vision projects in northern Uganda, upgrading teacher accommodation and maternal and child health facilities to help save the lives of women and children. Also, the Bell family gives generously in their local community of Lismore by supporting a homeless shelter and soup kitchen.

New landholder website on mining and coal seam gas A new website for landholders has been launched by NSW Farmers to provide up to date and comprehensive information on mining and coal seam gas in NSW. NSW Farmers CEO Matt Brand said that “with a constantly evolving and often complex set of regulations, farmers often don’t know where to start or where they stand on mining and coal seam gas issues. This website
brings all the information together in a comprehensive and easy to understand way, allowing landholders in NSW to easily get the information they need. “There is a lot of information about mining and coal seam gas out there, but farmers want up to date and accurate information which is targeted to them from a trusted source. This website represents the most landholder focussed
information to date on mining and coal seam gas in NSW,” Mr Brand said. Released as part of the NSW Farmers Mining and Coal Seam Gas Communications Project, funded by the NSW Department of Primary Industries, this website adds to the resources already available from the project including workshops, a hotline and factsheets. The project aims to
improve landholder awareness of mining and coal seam gas activity in their region and improve landholder capacity to negotiate land access arrangements. The website is quite detailed but is set in easily accessible sections so that farmers can quickly find the information they need. It covers everything from what mineral exploration actually involves to what to put in an access agreement.
While NSW Farmers will continue to run workshops and operate the Landholder Mining and Coal Seam Gas Hotline on 1300 794 000, the information provided on the new website will assist landholders and improve accessibility of the services provided by the Mining and Coal Seam Gas Communications Project. The website can be accessed at: www.miningandcsginfo.org
G Wagons roll in Bendoc to fight fires across Gippsland area Bendoc’s Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) depot has just taken delivery of five modern 4WD Ultra-Light tankers, or ‘G Wagons’ that will boost the capacity of Forest Fire Management staff to protect local communities from bushfires. The vehicles are part of 35 being delivered to Gippsland in a state-wide rollout of more than 300 of these specialised
firefighting vehicles that have specific training and accreditation requirements. Snowy District manager, Craig Chapman said: “The Ultra-Light tanker has several additional features specifically designed for DELWP’s forest firefighting and planned burning needs.” “These tankers have a 630-litre water carrying capacity, much bigger than the 400-litre capacity of older vehicles, which means
PRELIMINARY NOTICE
our Forest Fire Management firefighters are able to stay longer on the fire ground and continue working before refilling.” The first group of Ultra-Light fire tankers was produced for DELWP in 2015, with several additional enhancements added to the latest batch, improving crew safety and bushfire response times. “These tankers have a Falling Object Protection Structure (FOPS) above the cabin to help protect our crews from falling trees and branches, which is of particular importance because DELWP firefighters work in some of Victoria’s toughest and most remote

forest terrain,” Mr Chapman said. “We are the first state in Australia to have implemented this level of falling object protection in our firefighting vehicles.” There have also been other modifications made to the design of the vehicle. “The body of the vehicle has been ergonomically designed to accommodate people of all sizes. We have also added electronic rewind to the hose reels, and repositioned heavy items so they’re lower and more accessible.” The Ultra-Light firefighting fleet was chosen through an open, competitive tender process to
deliver the most cost effective solution. Prototypes of the Mercedes G-Professional first appeared in Australia around four years ago, and customised G-Wagons have been used by the Australian Army. The new vehicles will be used by Forest Fire Management crews who work collaboratively with local communities and our partners, CFA, Parks Victoria, VicForests and Melbourne Water to reduce the impacts of bushfires. These 35 vehicles will go to Erica (9), Heyfield (9), Dargo (3), Swifts Creek (9) and Bendoc (5).
12 agents sign up to SELX in Yass With the capacity to sell 3,800 cattle and 30,000 sheep on any given sale day 12 agents from across south east NSW have signed up to buy and sell sheep and cattle at Australia’s newest livestock selling centre – South Eastern Livestock Exchange (SELX). “Local producers will now have the opportunity to sell their stock locally and with their preferred agent in an excellent facility that will attract more stock and more buyers for strong competition and prices,” said Sally Butt from Butt Livestock & Transport. “We are looking forward to the opportunity to market our client’s livestock through the state of the art SELX, which exceeds the expectations of all stake holders in the livestock industry.” Agents signed up to SELX: AgStock, Butt Livestock & Property, Delta Agribusiness,
Duncombe & Co Livestock, Elders, Gerrard & Partners, Holman & Tolmie, Jim Hindmarsh & Co, Landmark, MD & JJ Anderson, Michael Hall Livestock & Property and Ray White Beef Services. “It is very exciting to see the project come to fruition and with our doors nearly open to sales, the wait is almost over,” said Col Medway, one of six local investors backing this exciting enterprise. “I don’t even think we comprehend the enormous benefits this complex will have, not only on the town of Yass, but on the region’s farmers looking to cut costs on transporting their stock to sale.”
SELX is located at the intersection of seven highways and arterial roads, just off the Hume Highway in Yass NSW. Construction of the $15 million, 16 hectare world-class, regional livestock selling centre commenced in September 2015, with the final touches currently being added before sales commence on Thursday, 18th August 2016.

SMGS win Australian Ski Champs Last week the Australian Secondary Schools Ski Team Championships (ASSSTCs) was run in Falls Creek, Victoria. This competition has run since its inception in 1967 and carries with it a history unparalleled by any other current school skiing competition. Teams of sixteen students compete across alpine, crosscountry and snowboard disciplines, with most athletes competing in at least two disciplines. This year Snowy Mountains Grammar School took eight boys and eight girls for the three-day competition. The events included Alpine GS, Snowboard GS, Skiercross, Boardercross, Cross-Country Classic and Cross-Country Relay. The competition requires students to be multi-disciplined and the focus is on the overall team result in each event. The team was accompanied by Mr Ross and Mrs Mower. SMGS was able to hold off the challenges from all the other schools in the competition and take out the overall point score once again. Following the ski and snowboard events on Day 1 and Day 2, SMGS had a commanding lead going into the last day. They were able to fight hard in the cross-country and come away with the silverware. A tremendous victory and congratulations to the students. The SMGS 2016 team was comprised of the following student-athletes: Declan Burke,
Tom Davis, Eve Donnelly, Isabella Emmert, Ambrose Hansen, Indiana Hansen, Jake Kennedy, Josh Kuner, Aidan Machin, Jack Machin, Rebecca Matthes, Abigail Mifsud, Oscar Mower, Sophie Nicholl, Maisie Phillips and Harry Southwell. SMGS’ team results were as follows: ASSSTCs Champion School Overall Boys’ Ski Champions Overall Girls’ Ski Champions Overall Boys’ Snowboard Champions Overall Girl’s Snowboard Champions Boys’ XC Relay Champions SMGS’ individual results were as follows: Boardercross Maisie Phillips 1st Rebecca Matthes 2nd Jack Machin 1st Harry Southwell 3rd Snowboard GS Maisie Phillips 1st Jack Machin 1st Skiercross Isabella Emmert 1st Rebecca Matthes 2nd Josh Kuner 1st Alpine GS I s a b e l l a Emmert 1st Josh Kuner 1st XC Classic Declan Burke 2nd Of his experience at the ASSSTCs, Josh Kuner, Year
11, said, “Representing your school at ASSSTCs is such a fantastic experience. The team camaraderie was amazing and everyone gave their best.” SMGS wishes to extend warm thanks to the ASSSTCs organising committee, Falls Creek Resort management and Heath Matheson for their tireless efforts in organising this great event. The school also wishes to thank and congratulate all the other schools who competed. This competition continues to be a wonderful platform for students to develop and showcase their team spirit. Mrs Mower, who accompanied the students to Victoria expanded on SMGS students conduct at the event, she said, “The SMGS community should be very proud of these 16 students. They represented their school with passion and class.” Pictured: Members of the SMGS snowsports team at the Australian Secondary Schools Ski Team Championships.

Lady Tigers defeat Brindabella, look to season finals series On Sunday the Cooma Lady Tigers took on second placed Brindabella. It was a very close game between the teams with both aggressively defending their line. There were no goals in the first half but with shots from Libby Goggin and Miruna Moruz it was looking promising for the Tigers. At the other end of the field, Candice Geach in defence was solid and had her best game of the season. The coach was happy at half time with how the team was playing and Cooma came back out onto the field hungry to win. Keeper Sam DeRuijter had another stellar game coming out of the box
to save a goal and fending off several other attempts. It wasn’t until 15 minutes to go Miruna Moruz took a shot which gave the Tigers the lead 1-0. Brindabella stepped up their attack to no prevail as the Tigers maintained their solid defence. The win gives the Lady Tigers the Minor Premiership and now they are aiming to take out the grand final in coming weeks. This weekend they play Majura at 3pm and UC Pumas on Sunday at 10am in the last games of the normal season before heading back to Canberra for semifinals.
Minor Premiership winners!! Cooma was keen to put a show on against a struggling Lanyon FC last saturday, Cooma had just wrapped up the minor premiership but kept it to themselves as Lanyon had beaten Cooma last time round. Cooma dominated from the start and showed no mercy at any point and had a threew goal lead going into half time. Coach Walker challenged the boys at half time and asked them to step it up a gear and finish off a team that was out of its depth. The Tigers replied quickly and ended up putting a show on for a great Cooma crowd. Cam Mackintosh was on a mission to seal golden boot and led by example from the front. Lanyon conceded defeat very early on in the game and Cooma pounced

Mixed results for Cooma Colts round 12 matches South East Embroidery Under 7’s Round 12 saw the Cooma Colts up against the Woden Weston Blues at Cooma showground. The Colts started well and a great run from Keeley-May Usher-Rodahl saw her score her first try of the season and the Colts first for the day. The Colts showed a great wall of defence and some crunching tackles from Kurik Nelson, Jesse Hurford and Harper Woolf made it hard for the Blues to break their wall. Jermaine Bartlett weaved in and out of the Blues defence to score a double for the day. Brilliance in attack and hard hit ups from Nate Stokes saw him cross over the line to score a try. Strong runs from Tyler Lee, Aiden Dixon and Mitchell Fletcher made the Blues work hard in defence while Riley Williams showed great foot work and speed and crossed over the line for a try. A great game by the Colts saw them draw the match 20-20. Try scorers were Keeley-May Usher-Rodahl (1) Riley Williams (1), Nate Stokes (1) and Jermaine Bartlett (2). The Medal this week went to Riley Williams and the Certificate went to Kurik Nelson Snowy River Painting Under 8’s – White The Cooma Colts were at home on the weekend for their first encounter with the Tuggeranong Buffaloes. The Colts started out slowly which saw the Buffaloes cross for the first try of the game. The Colts hit back after some solid runs from Othon Morgan and Bailey Benn which resulted in a try to Cooper Lee. The Buffaloes attacked the Colts line hard and scored again
set for set with the Colts, but the scores were levelled with tries to Kyte Lee and Riley McKenzie. After some try saving tackles from Lachlan Burchall, Lachlan Bryan and Jack Cook used their big bodies to punch down the field and with Big Jack dozed down at least five defenders to score a try of his own. The Colts went on to beat the Buffaloes 30 points to 22. The try scorers were Kyte Lee (2), Cooper Lee, Jack Cook and Riley McKenzie. Conversions to Cooper Lee, Lachlan Burchall, Riley McKenzie and Kyte Lee. Player of the week was Jack Cook and the Maccas award went to Lachlan Bryan. Sports Power Under 10’s The under 10s played Gungahlin Bulls at Cooma showground. From the blow of the whistle the boys had their game faces on, running all over the bulls and making fantastic ground and strong fast tries, the Colts showed great defensive lines. Josh Williams came charging down the field making a stunning try. Lucas Umback played a fantastic all round game. Tom Rudd made a lot of ground weaving to score two tries. Zane UsherRodhal played a strong first half with some good hits. Clayton Clarke played a loud game with a well kicked conversion. Judah-Fai Filiga made a lot of ground every time he got ball and assisted in some great tackles. Jack Roberson has taken everything he has learnt from training to the field and resulted in his best game this season. Jacob Smith played an extra strong game playing hard and fast scoring a try,
Cameron Filtness and Rhys Cleverly played well together making hard grounds with some hard-to-chase kicks and scoring a try. Charlie Fleming was hard to stop and pushed through defensive lines with ease making two strong tries. Hugh Waldren gave the team that extra boost to keep going. Mitchell Reed had a cracker of a game and was hard to pin down as he was quick on the field. The score was 48-16 to the Colts in a hard and fast, fun game to watch, showing that training hard is paying off. The tries went to Rhys C 1. Mitchell R 2. Tom Rudd 2. Charlie Fleming 2. Jacob S 1. Josh W1. Conversions went too Mitchell R 1. Tom Rudd 1. Clayton C 1. Judah-Fai F 1. Charlie F 1. Josh W 1. The Hit Man Award went to Jack Roberson and two players of the week went to Jacob Smith and Judah-Fai Filiga Highland Ground Spreading Under 11’s - BYE Mainstreet Under 12’s The Under 12s took on top of the table North Canberra Bears and went down 44-0. We all knew we were in for a tough assignment with several kids sick with the flu but playing anyway. Playing a much bigger football team we knew we had to muscle up in defence with Kayla, Aron, Sam, Jack and Barrett tackling hard all game. Lachlan had a great game as first receiver and giving good ball to Shawn, Jonah, Alex and Adam who all made valuable metres. Cody, Doron, Cooper and Connor made some great contributions through the game
with good runs and backup to our main tacklers. Tirone and James both had solid games as usual and then backed up to play for the Under 13’s. Player of the week to Kayla and canteen award to Adam. Franks Butchery Under 13’s The U13’s played the table topping North Canberra Bears. An understrength Colts team took the field and were immediately on the back foot with the Bears scoring in the first minute. Despite the poor start the Colts showed great determination in the first half keeping the Bears out with some desperate scrambling defence. North Canberra scored right on the half time whistle to make the score 18-0. The Colts continued where they left off in the first half with gritty defence from Brock Halls, Jesse Eljuga, Colby McDonald and Clinton Filtness.
As the second half wore on the Colts players began to tire and the hard running Bears took full advantage running out winners 50-0. The boys should be very proud of the way they played as everyone gave 100%, never taking a backward step. Points this week went to Brock Halls 3 points who continually put his body on the line in attack and defence. Colby McDonald received 2 points for a gutsy tackling display with Jake Taylor-Friend receiving 1 point for his heavy involvement all game. Thanks to Tyrone Mason and James Bannon from the U12’s who put in a huge effort to play two games on the day. Also thanks to the trainers, first aid and officials who were involved with the game. Once again strong support for the team was given by the parents and friends of the boys. McDonald’s Cooma Under 15’s - BYE
Another strong win for the Red Devils U12s team The Cooma South East Printing U12s knew that they needed to step up and play like they have played before - strong, determined and hungry for a win and that is just what they did last Saturday against Marist. An early try from Marist put a little dampener on their game plan, but this did not last long. Despite only having 14 players, Marist matched this and still had two reserves, but the U12s switched into their winning mode and through pressure from Jake Maddrell, Cooper Hassell and
Riley Brayshaw their attack on the line was rewarded with a try to Zane Squire. Cooper was unlucky to miss his conversion and the score was 5 – 5. After a ‘very long hiatus’, Referee Langdon Gould also ran onto the field and allowed both teams to play a very good game and the training of driving ‘like a plane taking off’, was applied by all players in the rucks. This allowed for a very physical game of rugby that was pure entertainment for the supporters that had made their way down to
Rotary Oval. The U12s were spurred on with the knowledge that the U16s were watching and this incentive and team work saw Thomas Fletcher and Azack Morgan make breaks from the breakdown and with support from Jake Corby, Coen Stanford crossed for Cooma’s second try. A successful side-line conversion by Jack Buckley saw the score tip in our favour 12 – 5. This week the Cooma U12s transferred their energy into the scrums. This was clearly evident as they continued to drive Marist off the ball and were rewarded with a number of scrums in their favour. On one such occasion, the ball was passed along the backline and Maison Turner led the charge and with support from Alex Gould, the forwards joined them and through sheer pressure, Coen Stanford crossed for his second try. A successful conversion by Zane Squire and the score was 19 – 5. Three players deserve special mention this week – Mitchell Burke, Matthew Kimbell and returning from injury Flynn Palmer. These three players played like they had never played before. Both Mitchell and Matthew literally
laid their bodies on the line with some magnificent try saving tackles and Flynn came back onto the paddock and played a game that was beyond belief, considering he has been out injured for a number of weeks. Their willpower and perseverance allowed them to set up the ball and take it into Marist territory. Despite the score line Marist were not done yet, through their own continued drive and after a penalty, they in turn added a try, to see the half time score change to 19 – 10. This week the players had chosen words of inspiration which were in turn written on their forearm, and it was these words that saw the U12s maintain their motivation and stamina throughout the game. There is a possibility that the Cooma South East Printing U12s may make the semi-finals for 2016, however as this was their last game before their bye next week, they left nothing to chance and continued on with the philosophy that they must play as a team and support their teammates through to the final whistle. A slight change in strategy, saw the players returning to their old
ways of once again bunching up at the rucks and mauls, however after a quick sideline reminder from Coaches Tim Kimbell and Simon Buckley, the players spread out and fell into their positions. Throughout the game Marist appeared to dominate the lineouts, but the U12s were still determined to hold their line and not let them cross again. This defence and attack approach as well as the realisation that they could win, saw the players once again working together as one unit. They gained more ground into Marist territory and after a series of successful pick and drive plays, Zane Squire crossed for his second try which was then converted by Cooper Hassell. The Cooma South East Printing U12s received some last minute training and guidance during the week from local rugby girl Taylor Stanford, and it was her words of ‘Teamwork’ and ‘Stay Connected’, that the players remembered and abided by to see them once again come away with the win. Final Score: Cooma 26 – Marist 10

The Southern Monaro Cattledogs group of the Bombala district are hard at it again raising money for a worthy cause, this time supporting a former local netball player as she prepares to represent Australia in New Zealand. The Cattledogs are running Friday night meat raffles at the Globe Hotel and donating the proceeds towards Jordan Bedingfield’s trip to compete in the World Invitational Netball Series in October. Jordan started playing netball in Bombala when she was seven years old, despite not being at all interested in the game. In her first outing she preferred to make dirt castles on the grass courts rather than catching and passing the ball! But as time went by and she became more involved, she grew to love the game and the team environment. Jordan’s first taste of representative netball was in the Annual Clash of the Giants at Fairymeadow in the Under 10s. Other netball carnivals followed between the ages of nine and 12. In 2003 Jordan was selected for the Sapphire Coast Representative Netball Association where she played in the State Age Championships for four years, 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2007. In 2005 she trialled for the Sapphire Coast but failed to make the squad; she was very upset but there were bigger opportunities waiting just around the corner. Unable to make her local rep team Jordan focused solely on a new scholarship gained with the South East Regional Academy of Sport (SERAS), then based in Queanbeyan. She quickly found her feet under the guidance of the
Australian Under 21s coach. The SERAS team competed in the Canberra competition and went through undefeated to win the trophy in their inaugural year. Jordan won SERAS’ Athlete of the Year and was then scouted for an emerging Athlete Scholarship at the NSW Institute of Sport; this selection would really open doors later in her career when she moved to Sydney. Jordan’s time with SERAS from 2005 to 2008 was very rewarding, playing prior to ANZ championship games, training against the Australian Under 21s and having access to high level coaching. After completing her HSC Jordan moved to Sydney and started playing for Sutherland in Sydney’s premier competition, State League. In her first year with Sutherland she was graded in Division 6 where Sutherland won the Grand Final and Jordan was awarded with Sutherland’s Best & Fairest. She moved her way quickly though the divisions, and prior to the Netball World Cup in 2012 played in the Sutherland Division One team against Fiji. Jordan has played in four Grand Finals in State League with a 50% win record, captaining the Division 2 Sutherland team in 2013 and being presented with Best & Fairest. In 2016 she moved associations to represent St George and to gain the opportunity to play and also captain Division 1, who are currently sitting equal first on the ladder. Last year, Jordan was approached to trial for the NSW Mixed Netball team which would compete in Melbourne over a week-long tournament around Easter 2016 against all of the other States.
“It was an amazing and challenging week, playing ten games against some quality opponents,” Jordan said. “It’s a different breed of netball playing against both males and females; it is a super fast and aerial game and it has pushed me as a player and added a new element to my game.” From this tournament Jordan was very surprised but honoured to be selected in the 12 person Australian Mixed Team to play in New Zealand in the World Invitational Netball Series. “A lot of people have helped me get along this road to the Sonix Australian Team,” Jordan says. “My Mum and Dad have always been supportive along with Tahlia and Callum, spending hours in car trips to games and training. And if they were unable to drive me to a game there was always someone else willing to help, Nan and Pop, Julie Peadon, Rhonda Walker to name but a few.” Jordan and her family would like to take this opportunity to thank the Bombala Netball Association, their committees and their coaches, who took the time to organise those comps early in Jordan’s career. “Without that early learning Jordan would not be where she is now on a plane wearing green and gold. This is what dreams are made of,” a family spokesperson said. The Southern Monaro Cattledogs would like to encourage all to support their Friday night meat raffles at the Globe Hotel to help Jordan on her way to NZ. The group also informs the community that a Men of League Charity Golf Day will be held in Bombala on September 17 this year, with details to be publicised in a coming Monaro Post.
Former Bombala netball player, Jordan Bedingfield will represent Australia in the World Invitational Netball Series to be held in New Zealand in October.

Bowlers battle variable weather Three visitors were welcomed to Bill Elder Shield Day on Wednesday, the same could not be said for the cold, gusty wind which made bowling difficult. Ron Wainwright made a welcome return to the green playing Swinging Lead for Bob Lahy and visitor Nick Cleary and for Max Butler and Geoff Venables, with the latter team right on target in winning 28/12. Mary Phillips and Leonie Snell found the conditions to their liking when they set up a 14/7 lead over Peter Harris and Margherita Zasso after 11 ends, before going on to win 25/12. Allan Crowe, Peter Starkey (Visitor) and Renate Winckel dropped nine shots over ends 11 and 12 to trail 8/15. Six shots on 13 put them back on track to go on and win 21/17. Mary Obermaier, Mary Murphy and Mike Mannile were down 5/10 against Judy Locker, Alby Marshall and Graham Vale but recovered with four shots on 11. Another four shots on 19 brought them level at 17/17 One shot to Graham’s team on the last end gave them the closest win for the day 18/17. A strong cool wind on Saturday made bowling difficult for the 10 who braved the conditions. Mike Mannile and Mark Buckley made a great start
against visitors Peter Starkey and Nick Cleary to lead 10/0 and increased it to 15/2 on 12. Four ends for eight shots brought the visitors closer but then dropped 13 shots to three in the home run to give Mike and Mark a win 28/13. Sergio Roncelli, Ron Wainwright and Graham Vale shot out to lead 24/6 against Allan Crowe, Mario Frezza and Mary Murphy at end 10. At this point the skips swapped sides for the balance of the game and the match became Sergio Roncelli, Ron Wainwright and Mary Murphy v Allan Crowe, Mario Frezza and Graham Vale. This change brought about a change of fortune for Allan and Mario as they picked up 14 shots to four over Sergio and Ron. The winners were all six players who enjoyed the novel format. With ladies and men away seeking further glory only six players turned up to enjoy what has probably been the best bowling day for some time. Bob Douglass, Don Jarvis and Tony Gray put eight shots on the board after just four ends against Max Butler, Darren Collins and Mark Buckley and went further ahead to lead 13/2 on end 10. Max, Darren and Mark then found the line and length to trail 13/14 on 18. Needing four shots on the last end to square it they could only
manage three to give Bob, Don and Tony a narrow win 18/17. On Wednesday and Thursday last week a group went to Ulladulla to pit their skills against some Coastal Players and found the going pretty tough. They played three games of pairs of 12 ends each day with the following results. Terry Croker and Colin Roberson, Bob Douglass and Ken Rees, Tony Gray and Mick Mayhew lost all three games .on day one. On day two Terry and Colin won one game, Bob and Ken lost three and Tony and Mick won one game. Ken and Bob are claiming bad luck as they drew three of the four winners. The Nightly Euchre went to Tony, Bob and Mick. There is still room for more teams for the Fours and Triples Championships and more entries are needed to make these events a success. The meeting to formalise the Snowy Mountains Bowling Association will be held on Sunday September 4 and already several people have completed their application for membership but more are needed. Forms are on the notice board at the Club and the first year is free.
Licence applications open for NSW alpine waters mooring scheme Boaters are being encouraged to apply for new mooring licences at Lake Jindabyne and Lake Eucumbene as part of a joint initiative between the NSW Government and Snowy Hydro, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro said today. The initiative is part of a broader program to improve boating infrastructure and access on Alpine Waters. The program also includes upgrading aids to navigation, improving safety signage at boat launching areas and funding to boat ramp infrastructure such as parking areas and access tracks. Mr Barilaro said boaters were
invited to apply for a mooring licence to ensure they could secure their site under the new arrangements. “The new scheme delivers on the NSW Government’s commitment to maintaining safety and protection of the environment on Alpine Waters by encouraging better boating practices for all waterway users. “The number of Alpine moorings available is strictly limited and licences will be allocated on a priority basis in accordance with the date each application is received.” If all available sites are allocated, additional applicants will be placed on a priority list and will
be offered the next available site. The NSW Government will also consider applications for club/commercial mooring licences for the use of club members. These applications will be assessed on a case by case basis. “All vessels currently moored on Alpine Waters will need to secure a mooring licence under these new arrangements to ensure their vessel can remain moored on these waterways,” Mr Barilaro said. For additional information and an application form visit www.rms.nsw.gov.au/ moorings.
Ladies getting back on the course It has been a long time since we had a ladies’ event but last Sunday a small field contested the 18 hole stableford. The winner was Jenny O’Byrne with a fantastic 39 points. A number of pars and a lovely chip-in out of the bunker featured in her game. Congratulations! Gaye Wilson won a ball with 31 points. It was good to see the return of Val Leitch after her operation.
She struck the ball very well straight down the middle of the fairways. Coming up: Wed, 17th - 18/9 hole medley stableford; Sat, 20th – Centenary Cup Medley 18 hole stroke with an overall male and female champion with the best net score on the day. There will be a sausage sizzle on the day. See you on the course!

A close encounter ends the High Heeler season On Sunday August 14 Bombala High Heelers and reserve grade Blue Heelers went to Narooma to battle out the elimination semi playing for a spot in the grand final. It was not to be for the High Heelers with another close encounter the final score ended 1210 in the Narooma girls’ favour. Whilst the Heelers started strongly from the kickoff, it was Narooma who scored first points. It was 6-0 at half time and the Heelers knew they would need to lift to put points on the board. It only took two minutes into the second half, the ball was spread across the field and Georgie Clarke was in out wide. With the conversion waved away the Heelers trailed 4-6. From the next set the Heelers went over again as
speedster Tash Stewart hit a great hole, no one could stop her. Annie McGrath kicked the two-pointer beautifully and the Heelers led 10-6. The next 10 minutes was very even play. As fatigue started to set in and the sun beamed hot, Narooma capitalised and shot down the right side to score. With the conversion successful, Narooma hit the lead again 12-10. As the clock wound down the Heelers were close to their line and a penalty to the Heelers was awarded as the hooter sounded. With a very honest attempt to even the scores to go into extra time the ball was unfortunately waved away and that brought the end to the High Heelers season.
Pictured above, the High Heelers and their support crew.

Joey’s at regional carnival Final round of Sapphire Cup
The recent Southern Regions Athletics Carnival was a great success, with the St Joseph’s Primary School students of Bombala providing plenty of competition for their coastal counterparts. As numbers grow at the small school, more students have opportunities to represent St Joseph’s at such carnivals, and the school has received very positive feedback about
the children’s efforts and behaviour. Well done to all students who participated on the day, and thank you to those parents who helped with transportation and who were there to support the children. Congratulations to Lilly Day Edgecombe, Jack Ventry and Max Chaplin for making it to the next level. The Archdiocesan Athletics Carnival will be held in Canberra on August 18.
Three Bombala District Netball teams played the last round of the Sapphire Cup Challenge in Bega against teams from both Bega and Merimbula on Sunday, August 14. The girls played in three age divisions, the 9/10s, 11/12s and Opens. The weather was beautiful and all the teams showed great sportsmanship and a never say die attitude, with the younger age division continuing to show excellent growth with their skill development.
It was also a crazy hair and sock day to raise money for kids with cancer, and the Bombala teams enthusiastically dressed for the occasion. One of the most pleasing aspects of the day was the strong turn out from the youngest age group, and the willingness of all to step-up to the next age group when we were unfortunately struck with illness and many were unable to play on the day. These great numbers bode well for the growth of our club.
Thank you to everyone who coached, umpired or supported our girls in any way, it was fantastic to see such a great turnout. Don’t forget to keep an eye out for the start of our Twilight Comp in early October. Netball is a great way to get involved in a fun social sport for boys and girls, men and women from the age of five onwards regardless of whether you are new to the game or a first timer. Hope to see you there!
Max Chaplin of Bombala performed strongly in the Southern Regions Athletics Carnival, and will now go on to compete in Canberra this week.

Blue Heelers win a spot in the reserve grade grand final The Reserve grade team would take the field just after 1pm, with the clouds coming over conditions were ideal for a win to take them into the GF. With Moruya quick out of the blocks to score, Bombala had to lift to match it with the coastal team. Every player for Bombala lifted, Chris Halligan and Keiran Wilson were instrumental in providing the Heelers with go- forward. The class and flare from Alex and Nic Rosten was pretty to watch and between the brothers, they scored four tries. The experience of players such
as Clay Stewart, Clay Clear and Mick Sullivan was evident as they were all able to lead the team around the paddock providing great direction and composure. Out wider both Ben Mooney and Jackson Standen were outstanding both bagging their own four pointers. The score at half time saw the Bombala boys winning 20-12 with the eventual end score line a convincing 38-18 win. The Bombala lads will now go into the grand final on Sunday against the Bega Roosters. Once again the club would like to thank all of the supporters who
travelled to Narooma to cheer on their home teams, the sea of blue and gold on the hill was amazing and uplifting for the teams. We encourage everyone to get to Bega on Sunday 21st August to cheer our boys home. Our Reggies boys have proved to one and all that they deserve to be in the grand final and the club couldn’t be prouder. Let’s get there to cheer them home. Thank you again to the Bombala RSL club for your endless support all year. Now let’s bring home the big one.

Season over for the Cooma Stallions The Cooma Stallions first grade team have gone down in gutting fashion in the penultimate game of the Group 16 season. The Stallions travelled to Narooma to take on Bega, hoping to book themselves a spot in the grand final against the undefeated Moruya. Cooma were on the back foot from the get go, missing the kick off and returning a drop out. They let a try in early but backed up with solid defence to keep Bega from continuing to cross their line. Cooma went in to the half time break down 12-6 and captain coach Todd Williams praised his team’s defensive effort, saying it could have
been worse. “The boys dug deep for each other, defensively we were pretty sound,” he said. Bega scored early in the second half but Cooma managed to claw their way back to 16-16 putting the game in the balance. The Stallions missed a drop goal attempt and eventually it was Bega who broke the gridlock coming up with a try on the left edge with just 40 seconds to go. The Stallions were missing several attacking players and it could have been a different result if things went their way on the day. “We didn’t play our best football.
We could have set ourselves up for a great season,” Williams said. Although disappointed with the outcome Williams said he is proud of the team’s season and the way they performed on the weekend. “I want to give credit to Austin Reilly, he was the best on ground. He was getting us going forward, I’m proud of the bloke he did well.” “I’m proud of all the boys. They dug really deep for me,” he said.
Jindabyne Piglets had three wins and one loss on Saturday The U10’s First Tracks Boardstore defeated Grammar in a tough game. With the score locked up at half time, 21 all, the mighty Piglets surged forward and won 54-26. Player of the day was Archie Borchards and the Coaches Choice went to Kane Davis.

followed by Pat and Thomas finished with a Hat trick of tries. However, defensive lapses and some phases of poor tackling saw Easts get on top and take the victory. Final score was 38-31 to Easts Coaches points: 1 point: Patrick 2 points: Thomas

Against Olympians and competitors almost twice her age, Georgia Crisp placed in eighth and ninth at Mount Hotham two weeks ago. Competing in the opens of the Australia New Zealand Cup (ANC) FIS SBX Races, Georgia and her family were very proud of the result. The event involved two days of training, a qualifying day and then the final race day. There were competitors from all over the world including Korea, Canada, America and Switzerland. Although she placed eighth and ninth, it was a tight race with Georgia coming in only about four seconds after first place. At just 16 years old, Georgia participates in the elite snowsports program at Snowy
