The Men From Snowy River Recruitment March - done! Penny Judge A cheer goes up from the crowds lining Martin Place as the marchers proceed towards the Cenotaph. There are the Coo-ees from Gilgandra, the Kookaburras, the Wallabies, the Waratahs, the Boomerangs, the Kurrajongs, the Kangaroos and standing
out above them all like a bright red beacon is the distinctive banner of the Men From Snowy River. We have arrived! We have been marching behind that banner through towns and villages for eleven days. Our journey started in Delegate on Sunday November 1 but the real journey started three years

95-97 Commissioner St, Cooma
ago when members of the Delegate Progress Association first put forward the idea of a re-enactment to mark the centenary of the Men From Snowy River Recruitment March which left Delegate in January 1916. When we were made aware of a plan for a combined reenactment of the nine ‘snowball marches’ of 1915-16, which would culminate in Sydney on Remembrance Day 2015 we joined with enthusiasm. What a great way to honour the men who had made this commitment in 1916. Sunday November 1 dawned, sunny with a few clouds and dire forecasts of storms, a fitting parallel to the conditions that dogged the original men in 1916. But we were blessed. No rain fell on our parade of Bemboka Light Horse, re-enactors, Federation Guard, descendants, schoolchildren and any other enthusiastic members of the public. To the sound of the pipes we marched to the School of Arts in Delegate. Here we heard speeches, sang songs, ate a wonderful luncheon and then it was time for the momentous words which would be repeated many times over the next eleven days “Men From Snowy River Fall in!” Our March had truly begun. It is difficult to describe the welling sense of pride, marching behind the banner along roads little changed since 1916. As we marched out of Delegate, led by Mike Kelly, the townspeople farewelled
us with cheers and waving flags. We would not have had the sense of trepidation that the men of 1916 had, we knew we were not heading to the unknown and possible death on a foreign battleground, but we did have a sense of adventure and an overwhelming feeling that the spirit of those Men was with us, that they approved of our heartfelt attempt to honour their willingness to leave all that they held dear in order to serve their country. Our first camp was in the small beautifully decorated Craigie Hall. In 1916 the Men had been treated to the very same type of hospitality that the current residents of this tiny community provided and in the very same hall. Inside the hall was dry whilst that storm that had threatened all day finally broke. A Monday morning march to Mila (what great alliteration), where the small community provided lunch, was followed by transportation to Bombala showground. Because of possible inclement weather we were permitted to camp in the Exhibition Building. The RSL Club provided a lovely meal on Monday night. By this time the Federation Guard had left us for other duties. They had really enjoyed their time with us and regretted they could not come the whole way. The camaraderie building between the solid core of marchers and support crew was probably reminiscent of that between the slowly growing ranks

of marchers in 1916. In postcards and letters sent from the front we can discern the incredible sense of unity the Snowy Men had. They really were a ‘band of brothers’. One of the marchers, John Tait from Merimbula, had his fiddle and Michelle Farran from Bendoc had her ukulele, so every evening we had musical entertainment. Tuesday morning saw another impressive parade, this time through Bombala, led by the Bemboka Light Horse with piper Will Horton and drummers Noah Coles and Toby Jones. In every town or village we asked for descendants to carry the banner. It was a joy to see the pride on the faces of those who chose to do so no matter how small the parade. At the ceremony the book produced by the Bombala High school students was launched. This was a pattern repeated in many of the towns, a parade, a ceremony and an unveiling or presentation meaningful to the community. It was an honour to be part of this. As well as parades and ceremonies, the core of marchers reignited the spirit of the original march by walking almost 100km of historic roads. We were not permitted to walk on roads with white lines so some creative planning of walking trails was needed. In every small community, Delegate, Craigie, Mila, Bibbenluke, Nimmitabel, Bredbo, Colinton, Michelago, Bungendore and Tarago we were amply catered for with banquets awaiting us. A wonderful welcome was
given to us at Dromore Station by descendants of one of the original marchers E.Primmer. In Cooma, Queanbeyan and Goulburn it was a treat to march to the stirring sounds of pipe and brass bands. And everywhere there were the schoolchildren, singing, marching, giving moving addresses and providing wonderful displays, not to forget the small group from the Snowy Mob choir who used every opportunity to sing their signature tune “The Song of the Snowy River Men”. Ellery Farran, 13-years-old from Bendoc, marched from Delegate and wore her replica World War I nurse’s uniform in every parade. Noah aged 14 and Toby aged 10 from Ando, marched from Bombala and played the drums in every parade. The engagement of the children was particularly pleasing as it was always the intention of the reenactment to educate the young, to give them a ‘hands on’ history of the experiences of World War 1. And back to the core group of marchers. It rained on our parades only once – in Martin Place. In two of the camps we were rained on. Bredbo and Queanbeyan, but only briefly… It is no picnic packing up wet tents. The historic marches were often arduous (the long climb from the Old Meat Works to Nimmitabel comes to mind) but wonderful. Unforgettable experiences include the stop at the Old Meat works, the backroads from Dromore to Bredbo complete with bogs, river crossings and a pair of inquisitive cows who joined us for quite a long
way – new recruits no doubt, and the stunning scenery of the Ryrie HillMichelago road. At Tarago we gave new meaning to the term ‘Horse whisperer when Noah and Toby drummed for the Queanbeyan Light Horse to accustom the horses to the sound of drums. Finally a tribute to the core of marchers and crew who went the whole way: From Delegate Ian Sellers – marcher, co-ordinator extraordinaire; Peter Stuart –marcher, driver, descendant; Gary Ingram – marcher, driver, descendant Sharon Buckman – driver, chief cook and bottle washer From Craigie Penelope Judgemarcher, choir leader From Bendoc Michelle Farranmarcher, musician, driver Ellery Farran aged 13 – marcher, choir member From Little Plains Neville Summerell aged 77 marcher, bionic grandfather of the group From Ando Noah Coles aged 14 marcher, drummer Toby Jones age 10 marcher, drummer From Merimbula John Tait – marcher, musician From Wagga Rob Cook – marcher, he marched the entire route in a reproduction World War 1 uniform, a great storyteller and singer of WW1 songs but we will spare your blushes. Everyone chipped in, everyone did their share, everyone suffered from aches, pains, blisters, soakings but no-one complained. We honoured those original men in the best way we knew how. We will remember them Lest we forget.

Council advocacy for locals must always be maintained”. Snowy River Shire statement On Tuesday November 10, Snowy River Shire Council considered a report on the progress of discussions with Cooma and Bombala Council’s regarding a possible merger under the Fit for the Future reforms. “It is disappointing that our original submission was rejected by IPART and we are now placed in a position where our only option is to nominate merger partners in order to receive any financial incentives to meet the costs, as we believe we will eventually be merged” said Mayor John Cahill. The resolution of Council from the meeting was unanimously supported. “I am looking forward to discussing what options are available to expand on the current shared services between our Council and Cooma and hope that any work done now will contribute to a smoother transition in the case of a merger” said General Manager, Joseph Vescio.
better representation. Fewer details on a merger between the Monaro shires was available given that no representatives from either Cooma-Monaro or Snowy River were present, although it was made clear that an agreement would be made for Bombala to retain its reserve funds for use in the local area. Mayor Stewart also explained that the Monaro councils were eager to take Bombala into their merged entity, particularly given Bombala’s relatively strong financial position and its clear affinity with the high country. The meeting was a divided one and audience members gave heated voice to their concerns, with some indicating support for a Bega Valley option, and others the Monaro. This seemed to reflect the position of the local councillors themselves, with Mayor Stewart making it very clear that the council remained undecided on the best way forward at that point, and that voting would be extremely close on Tuesday night. Deputy Mayor, Brad Yelds made a clear statement that he would be supporting a Bega Valley merger, while at least two other councillors were clearly heard to say after the meeting that they would be voting the other way. There was a feeling from the community that a stronger synergy existed between the Monaro and Bombala, while Bega appeared to be a more viable and progressive option. Many were heard to comment that their heart was in the Monaro, but their head could not rule out Bega Valley moving forward. In the end it was one heartfelt comment from a Bombala resident that rang true as she supported the Bombala councillors as they prepared to make the ultimate decision Tuesday night. “We voted them in, now we have to trust them to make the best decision they can,” she said to the crowd’s applause.
Bombala undecided The big question on everyone’s lips is “who will the Bombala Council merge with?”. At a heated public meeting in Bombala on Monday night, it was made very clear that Minister Toole had ruled out any chances of Bombala remaining a stand alone rural council. This was much to the disgust of the crowd, but Mayor Bob Stewart explained that should Bombala pursue this avenue the council would be “left behind” and likely forcefully merged without consultation in the near future. With both the Bega Valley Shire Council as well as the combined Cooma-Monaro and Snowy River Shires having voted to support mergers with Bombala Council, the pros and cons of both options were discussed at the meeting. Bega Valley Mayor, Michael Britten was present, giving detail on the conditions under which it would merge with Bombala, including demands for government funding for major Bombala district projects. Mayor Britten also indicated that should a merger take place, shire funds and assets would be retained for the use of each council separately. It was acknowledged that a joining between Bega and Bombala would be more of a takeover than a merger, with Bombala representation most likely to take the form of a 355 Committee, and the process to begin almost immediately on agreement.

Council wins two awards Cooma-Monaro Shire Council was presented with two prestigious Environmental Awards last week. Council received a highly commended award in the Keep NSW Beautiful Blue Star Sustainability Awards under the Waste Less Recycle More category for its Kerbside Organic Collection service. And at the Australian Organics Recycling Association awards presentation, Council won the “Outstanding NSW Local Government Initiative in Organics Collection/Processing or Marketing”, with Coolamon Shire and Randwick City Council also receiving recognition in the category. “This is fantastic recognition for the efforts of our Resource and Waste staff, and validation of the decisions Council has made in our aim for improved sustainability outcomes in our waste, recycling, and resource-recovery activities” Mayor Dean Lynch said. “It is also a great example of our ability to partner with agencies like the NSW Environmental Trust and the EPA, with grant funding through the “Waste Less, Recycle More” Initiative being provided for these projects.” Cooma-Monaro Shire Council has also been listed as a finalist in the Local Government NSW Excellence in the Environment Awards for its Kerbside Organics Collection service, with the Awards to be presented in Sydney on 1 December. “I am very proud of this Council’s proven capacity to deliver quality results for the long-term benefit of our community. “Being a relatively small Council doesn’t mean you can’t achieve big outcomes” he added.

Monaro community receives Southern Phone grants At a special presentation on Friday, Southern Phone Chairman Bill Hilzinger came to Cooma to hand out $25,000 worth of grants to local community groups. Mr Hilzinger explained that each local government is given the opportunity to purchase two $1 shares in Southern Phones, which returns dividends for use in the community. The amount returned is relative to the number of customers within the council boundaries. Cooma received $48,000, whereas Shoalhaven, which has 4,000 Southern Phone customers, secured almost $500,000. However the $25,000 in community grants presented on Friday is a separate initiative by Southern Phones which began last year. The Nimmitabel Cemetery Committee was given $7,500, which will be used for the construction of a niche wall and a surrounding rock garden where memorial plaques can be placed. The Nimmitabel Cemetery Committee is made up of seven volunteer members and many members of the community who donate their time to the maintenance of the both the Pioneer and general cemeteries in Nimmitabel. President of the committee, Vicki Pollard, was extremely grateful for the grant from Southern Phone. “This is an exciting time for the town of Nimmitabel,� said Vicki, “With the new Nimity Bell and the construction of the Lake Wallace dam, there are lots of things happening.� The Snowy Mountains Mountain Bike Club also received a $2,800 grant from Southern Phone to go towards putting up a trail head sign at Mount Gladstone. This club started back in March and already has 43 members. With plans to develop 20km worth of trails around Mount Gladstone, President Steve Aldous is excited about the future of the club. At the moment volunteer members of the club do all the maintenance of the trails, which are suitable for children and beginners, as well as more experienced riders. The Cooma Gymnastics Club was lucky enough to receive $5,000 from Southern Phone on Friday. The club will use this money for mat replacement and repair at their location on Bolaro Street in order to improve the safety of the facility. The Cooma Gymnastics Club currently has 70 students aged 18 months to 13 years old, and is happy to welcome more
children into their weekly classes. Duncan Taylor accepted a cheque from Southern Phone on behalf of the Cooma Universities Centre. The money from this grant will be used to facilitate academic skills workshops for students.

Mayor Bob Stewart thanked Southern Phones on behalf of the community, noting that the funds were going to very worthwhile projects that benefitted a broad cross section of the community.

“The workshops will be held by tutors and are aimed at building the confidence of students when it comes to researching and writing their assessments,� said Mr Taylor. The final Southern Phone community grant was given to the Cooma Stallions Rugby League Club. The money will be used to purchase a new public address system for the Cooma Showground. “This new system will not only benefit the Stallions, but will be great for other uses at the Showground as well,� said Stallions President Jason Kelly.

We remembered across the Monaro Last Wednesday ceremonies across Monaro commemorated the 97th anniversary of the end of Word War One. Ceremonies were held at the Cooma Cenotaph, local schools and in Bombala. It was a poignant day as it also marked the conclusion of the Men From Snowy River March at the Sydney Remembrance Day services. Pictured, the Cooma and Bombala services. The speech below is from the Bombala service.
General Manager, JOE VESCIO
My schedule for this week is still filled with the Fit for the Future reforms and today is the last day to submit our final submission to the State Government. At its meeting on Tuesday, 10 November, Council resolved our preferences for merging. Section C of the resolution states: Due to the possibility of losing merger incentive funding offered by the government and potentially our community having to meet the implementation cost of the merger determine to nominate a merger with Cooma-Monaro Shire Council as its first option with a merger involving CoomaMonaro Shire Council and Bombala as its second merger option Council believes that our submission to IPART presented a strong case to standalone, however, based on the determinaations by IPART we have to move forward in the best interest of our community and the only option available is to now nominate merger partners. Both Snowy River and Cooma Councils meet with the Minister for Local Government Mr Paul Toole and Member for Monaro, Mr John Barilaro last week which was a very productive meeting. We now await final instructions from the State Government and their determination of Snowy Rivers’ future. It is hoped that we will receive this advice before Christmas. If you are in Berridale this morning, the next stage of Berridale Lombardi Poplars are being planted at 10am. This is part of the Regeneration Project to replace the trees and is in line with the tradition first started in 1935. We extend our thanks to the Berridale Public School and their children who will once again be assisting Council with the planting.
This year as we gather to mark Remembrance Day 2015 we can also remember the recently celebrated centenary of the Men from Snowy River March. Taking part in the re-enactment of the march through town last week, made me think of the men who so bravely volunteered to fight in a war that was half a world away, the men some of whom were not much older than I am today. With the world becoming smaller, due to the reach of the internet and social media, I wonder would they have been so eager to participate if they could see the atrocities that were happening on the battlefields. I do not have to think about the answer too long however, because I believe that such was the strength of character and the sense of pride in fighting for king and country that these brave men, local men, would have joined that march anyway. Every year as I have grown, so has my sense of pride for the country I live in,

and the respect for the soldiers both past and present who have fought to keep our legacy alive. This day, the 11th of November, marks the anniversary of the end of an era. The Great War changed everything we knew about humanity. As great empires fell and others were conquered, four years of treacherous battle suddenly came to an end as silence crept over the battlefields, a silence that we continue to honour today in memory of the fallen. We also pause to remember that for every family that was reunited, there were others who were being ripped apart as they heard the news that their father, brother, cousin was never coming home. These were emotions that were felt strongly in our own community, sadness and loss for the loved ones who had fallen in a battle to protect our way of life. The names on the cenotaph will be familiar to some and just the name of another fallen soldier to others. What is
the common link that binds all who pause here today? It is the respect and pride we have for those who not only died, but also for those who came home as different men to those who left to fight. They were older, most beyond their years, wiser and scarred, both physically and mentally by their time spent on the battlefields. The battle is over and time has done what the Great War could not, it has taken all of the diggers who fought so gallantly. It will not however, take away the ongoing pride we as a nation have for all of our diggers both past and present. Since World War 1, many others, ordinary Australian men and women have answered and continue to answer the call to protect our way of life. On this day, and on every day, in every month and season, We Will Remember Them, Lest We Forget.

Substation an eyesore for Cooma residents Relay for Life Nick Chapman Residents of Cooma North and Cooma East are lobbying for increased screening at the site of the new TransGrid Substation located on the Monaro Highway. The current substation, which was constructed in 1954, will continue to be used by Essential Energy, with the new structure being located on the opposite side of the road and designed to look like the original. TransGrid say that this is the best possible location for the new substation due to its proximity to the current one. “The location of the Cooma Substation Rebuild was deemed suitable as it is located close to our existing substation. “Other locations would require the relocation of transmission lines, coming at significantly increased capital
expenditure costs. These costs are ultimately borne by NSW energy consumers,� TransGrid said in a statement to ABC South East radio. However, Cooma residents, particularly those in Cooma North and Cooma East
with views being disturbed by the structure, are upset by the perceived lack of communication from TransGrid and believe limited thought has gone in to preserving their view. “Our first point of difference
is it’s in the wrong place. It’s been built for cost but ignores the visual aspect for residents in Cooma East and Cooma North,� Nimby Place resident Ian Hampton said. “There needs to be some screening to break up the
shape.� TransGrid have implemented the planting of over 200 semi-mature trees and tubestock as well as painting two sides of the fence dull gray to stop reflection. They have said that more
screening is not possible due to the presence of threatened Themeda grasslands and the requirement to provide clear access points for maintenance. The corporation has also agreed to engage an independent landscaping company to review the visual impact of the structure. Mr Hampton addressed council at the November general meeting, where he argued that this was insufficient. He believes that there should be more screening closer to the fence line through the planting of more trees and shrubs. Council and mayor Dean Lynch spoke in support of Mr Hampton and local residents however stressed that the substation was a state government initiative and local council had no say in its construction.
Bombala’s cancer survivors, patients and carers are invited to be a part of the Bombala Relay For Life on November 28 at Bombala Show Ground. Eileen Hampshire, Chair of Bombala’s Relay for Life, is hoping for a large turnout by the local community. “The heart and soul of this event is honouring those in our community who have fought cancer or cared for someone with cancer,� said Eileen. “We would like those people in the community to know that this event is being organised for them by their town.� Grant Plecas, Community Engagement Coordinator for the Cancer Council’s Southern regional office, invites survivors and carers to attend the opening ceremony at 9:30am and participate in the first lap.

With Kitten season in full swing now I thought some tips to help your kitten settle in would be timely. Bringing a cuddly, appealing bundle of purr home is exciting, whether the kitten is your first or an addition to your current pet family. Your kitten will be entirely reliant on you to ease his transition from mom cat's side or animal shelter to this strange new place. Keeping him safe and happy takes planning and patience for everyone in the household. The efforts will pay off, as your new little friend grows into a confident, affectionate kitty who knows there's no place like home. After you've kitten-proofed, introduce your kitten to your home one room at a time. Place his open carrier in whichever room you are introducing him to so he has a retreat if he wants it, and let him walk around while you sit quietly. Talk to him softly as he explores. He may hide under a bed or scoot behind a refrigerator, so you need to be vigilant. If you don't want him in the habit of climbing on your bed, gently remove him and place him on the floor. Bring him back to his own space, and repeat this introduction process in each room of your home until he has explored everyplace. A kitten's high energy level makes her eager to play at any time. To keep her safe, choose toys carefully, just as you would for a child. Avoid those with buttons, bells or other small parts that can come off and be swallowed. Watch for sharp edges, and beware of string, yarn or ribbon, as these are dangerous if ingested. If a toy has any of these, always supervise the kitten when she plays with it. Small stuffed animals to attack and a ball too large to fit into her mouth will provide hours of kitten fun. You can hold a plastic fishing pole, anchored by a secure line to a fuzzy mouse or other small toy, in front of the kitten who will delight in chasing this prey At six to seven weeks, your kitten should receive a "three-way" vaccine that protects against the respiratory diseases FVR (feline viral rhinotracheitis) and FCV (feline calicivirus), as well as distemper (feline panleukopenia), with a booster shot given 12 to 14 weeks later. If your kitten is at least nine to 10 weeks old, he'll be tested for FeLV (feline leukemia) and FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus). He can get a rabies shot, usually required by law, at 12 weeks of age. Kittens can be spayed or neutered as early as eight weeks of age, but your vet can determine the best time for this surgery. Spaying protects your female kitten from the risk of mammary, uterine and ovarian cancers, and spares her the stresses of pregnancy. Neutering a male reduces his risk of prostate cancer, and he won't "spray" to mark his territory. Because the urine of intact males literally stinks, neutering your kitten will make the litter box cleanup less of a chore. Spaying or neutering also helps reduce the problem of cat overpopulation. A kitten left home alone should be secured in one room with his bed, litter box, scratching post, food and water. If you'll be gone until evening, add a nightlight. Give him enough safe toys to keep him busy, such as a trackball toy. Place a radio just outside his door, turned to a classical music or country western station. Many pet sitters have found cats seem to prefer these two genres. Other cats like listening to talk shows, perhaps soothed by the human voice. If your kitten will always be alone during the day, spend extra time petting and playing with him when you return.

A new school project entitled ‘Remembering‌ Capturing out Living History’ is an initiative by the Snowy River Shire Council Community Services, St Pat’s School and Snowy Mountains Grammar School. The project involves older members of the community coming to see the Year Eight history students every Tuesday for four weeks. The students are able to talk with the visitors about their past experiences and stories, sharing memorabilia and photos. Conducting interviews, the students
are putting together video footage, still photographs, written pieces and portraits to preserve these stories for the future, and to ensure they can be shared with others. Project facilitator and St Pat’s history teacher Alyson Hulley-Jeffries says that the project has been an enlightening experience for the students so far. “It has been a lovely thing for the kids to sit and talk with our older visitors,� she says, “They all have such different stories and experiences to tell.� Mrs Hulley-Jeffries says that she hopes that through the process, the students will

The November meeting is the last formal meet of the calendar year, as we celebrate Christmas in December with a formal luncheon at the club. Our guest speaker in November was a former Probean, Dr Gilbert Wallace who spoke about Antarctica and of his three assignments in that chilly place. He showed us a map and pointed out that Antarctica is three times the size of Australia, and has been carved up into many slices by many countries, with Australia’s the largest. We maintain three bases, all of which he has visited, but his chief station was at Davis. Dr Wallace is best known as an obstetrician, but there was not much call for his specialty in Antarctica so some of his time was spent assisting the surveyors. He worked in the ice-free Westwold hills and his slides came as a surprise to most of us, including pictures of two or three lakes in that area. Some metres below sea level, the lakes are so saline (27%) that they do not freeze. There is of course, no life in these lakes, and the only

creature that remains year-long in the region is the snowy petrel. There are 61 bases in Antarctica, but Dr Wallace was rather skeptical about the “scientific research” being carried out by many of the countries involved – “more like a search for oil” - was his comment. A proposal to construct a tourist venue, Oasis Antarctica, does not seem likely to ever go ahead, but tourism is still a part of the fascination with the region, The South Magnetic Pole, like its northern counterpart, is not in a fixed spot, and at present is located in the Australian sector, and the Aorora Australis follows the pole around, which makes viewing somewhat of guesswork.

IPTAAS not-for-profit subsidies increase Member for Cootamundra and Parliamentary Secretary for Southern NSW, Katrina Hodgkinson has welcomed the NSW Government’s commitment to boost Isolated Patients Travel and Accommodation Assistance Scheme (IPTAAS) rebates for patients accessing not-for-profit accommodation. Katrina said IPTAAS subsidies assist patients who must travel long distances to access specialist medical treatment. “Regional patients can spend weeks away from home while they receive treatment. For these patients, the costs associated with accommodation - especially in cities - can be a real drain on the hip pocket,” Katrina said. “In September, the Government increased the IPTAAS subsidies available to patients accessing forprofit commercial accommodation, like hotels and motels, to help cover the costs of longer stays. “I’m pleased that from February next year, eligible patients can also receive increased subsidies for longer stays in not-for-profit accommodation facilities. “This is in recognition of the fact that not-for-profit accommodation providers support patients through their treatment program in a home-
like environment, often over long weekly distance of at least 200km. periods of time.” The increased subsidy rate for patients staying in not-for-profit accommodation will increase to $65 a night for single rooms and $85 a night for double rooms for stays of eight nights or more per financial year.

Celebrating 20 years of services
Yallambee Lodge celebrated their 20th anniversary on Saturday with a fete and a celebration dinner. Yallambee Lodge in Cooma North was built and opened in 1995. It is a 40 bed aged care facility with 38 permanent beds and two respite beds. The anniversary dinner brought together original members of the Yallambee Steering Committee, councillors, volunteers, council representatives and staff past and present. Bill Rushton, Dort Tynan, Rob Simms, Ken Silich and Roger Norton who were part of the committee instrumental in the planning and construction of Yallambee Lodge in 1995, came along to the evening to celebrate. There were also original staff members Sandra Wassink and Sabine Hickling at the dinner. Sabine is still working at Yallambee after 20 years service. Cooma-Monaro general manager John Vucic made a speech thanking the founding members and current staff for making Yallambee Lodge a leader in the aged care industry in NSW. Councillor Winston Phillips was also there for the celebration and acknowledged the efforts of Bill Rushton
during the initial phases of development and planning. At the time there was quite a lot of opposition to the proposal for building another aged care facility in Cooma, however the steering committee remained dedicated and thanks to them we now have a wonderful facility with a solid reputation in the community. Historical photos and paper clippings were on display and a wonderful evening of reminiscing was had by all. Manager of Yallambee Donna Saddler would like to thank all the staff and volunteers who were involved in organising the fete and the dinner. She would also like to thank the residents, their families and the community for their continued support over the last 20 years. All rooms at Yallambee are private with an ensuite. The lodge is able to deliver a diverse range of care services
including palliative care to the residents who require assistance because of their complex personal and care needs. Yallambee Lodge now also caters for
residents with higher needs. For more information about the facilities Yallambee Lodge has to offer, call 6452 1669.

Catchment report shows cause for action on our waterways While more than half of the Upper Murrumbidgee water catchment system is in good condition, there is still more work to be done to improve catchment health in many areas. This is the finding of the latest Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch Catchment Health Indicator Program (CHIP) report 2014-15, which was officially launched by ACT Government Environment and Planning Directorate Director-General, Drote Ekelund, in conjunction with Waterweek (18th-24th October). The report, which analyses Waterwatch data on water quality from 90 sites across the ACT and region, shows that while 49 sites have been in good or excellent condition over the reporting period, 41 sites are still in fair or poor condition. “While the results of the latest CHIP report are encouraging, they show that there is still more work to be done on improving our waterways,” said Ms Woo O’Reilly, Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch Facilitator, who leads the

areas where no other monitoring currently takes place. The report covers an area of more than 11,000km2 from the top of the Murrumbidgee River near Tantangara Dam to down to Burrinjuck Dam near Yass. The report includes waterways in the Cooma region which rate from ‘excellent’ (such as the upper Badja River) to ‘poor’ (such as the middle section of the Cooma Creek where it runs through town). The 2014–15 program included data from more than 170 volunteers, who collectively carried out 1,556 water quality surveys, 206 water bug surveys and 178 riparian condition surveys from 229 monitoring sites.

Bombala High School releases a book about their Battlers The Bombala High School launched a new book on November 3 to coincide with Bombala’s welcome to the Men from Snowy River March ReEnactment. The book is about local area men who served in World War I and is available from the High School itself, Bombala Newsagency, Lou Lou’s, Bombala Council, the Visitor’s Information Centre and the General Store in Delegate. Here, Caitlin Morrison, the History teacher behind the project when it first began in 2014, tells us more about ‘The Bombala Battlers’ book and its background “The creation of The Bombala Battlers came about after the Bombala RSL and our Principal Glen Warren requested a history be compiled on the lives of the men from Bombala who fought in the First World War as part of the Centenary commemorations. “I began by rounding up volunteers to help with the task – and was lucky enough to gain the help of students Jackie Chapman, Bella Cocker, Nicole Hepburn, Terri Roberson and Hannah Ingram to help me research and document the lives of the 131 men who served. “We began by hunting down links to the service records using the National Australian Archives’ online database. This turned out to be a mammoth task – sifting through hundreds of records of men with similar names, trying to match a birthplace or enlistment place on the forms to narrow
be found and so we settled instead for including images from their service files. “During the research process, I was also selected to attend the New South Wales Premier’s ANZAC Memorial Scholarship Tour to the Western Front, and was privileged to be able to visit some of the burial and memorial sites of several of the men who served in France and Belgium. “Once I had compiled the men’s service numbers and basic information into a document, I distributed the
the search. We eventually found most of the soldiers, and were able to find even more of those we could not originally find with the aid of the Discovering Anzacs website. “Unfortunately, not all of the men could be found. We have put this down to the possibility of incorrect spellings of names, the men enlisting under fake names due to being under age or over age, or simply that the files were never added to the database. “We attempted to find photographs of each of the men, however very few are still able to
names between the girls and myself and we set to saving each service record individually before being able to turn these records into readable biographies. “Some men’s records were more detailed than others, and some even served in the Second World War. Unfortunately, some were
very basic and all we could gather from them was where they were born, enlisted, and served. “Some had interesting stories – such as serving in both Turkey and the Western Front, and others had devastatingly sad stories – those who were killed in action in their early days of service, or who lost all of their siblings to the war. Some dealt with horrifying wounds and illnesses, while others made the most of their time in the war by doing what young men do best – breaking the rules here and there. “We worked tirelessly to try and create a picture of these men’s lives over two years, and we visited both the National Australian Archives and the archives at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra to help us gather all of the information we could. Once this was completed, we spent months turning these documents into what you now have before you. “The girls worked incredibly hard to complete what I hope will be a lasting tribute to these men who valiantly served our country, and I am beyond proud of what we were able to produce.�

the
postman calls
The Postman doesn’t usually advocate anarchy, but the recent discussions around the State Government’s ‘Fit For The Future’ have really riled the poor old boy. A single finger salute would seem to be the best response from local government to the IPART findings that our three local councils are ‘unfit’ to remain stand-alone. Certainly from Friday night’s CoomaMonaro Shire meeting, Cr Phillips’ suggestion to add the acronym ‘GFY’ to a 50-word statement summed up the general annoyance of the councillors. As has been reported in this paper since the first mutterings of IPART’s decision – the findings are based on flawed information. In any case, the majority of ratepayers in all three shires do not want to be forced to amalgamate. But, once again, the State is not listening to the voters. It doesn’t seem to matter what party is in power, they all develop selective hearing once elected. To add insult to injury, each council was allowed only 50 words to express its views on what would seem to be a fait accompli. Fifty words – that’s ‘tell them they’re dreaming’ 12 and half times. In any case, who elected IPART to tell us how we are to live our lives anyway?

Denis says thanks Editor, Through your community paper I wish to thank The Monaro Post for its support. Special thanks to Wendy Hampshire, Sam Tonks from Bombala the mothers who met us on the Mt Darragh with their children Vickii Wallace and the ladies who put together the fund raiser at the Dalgety hotel, the hospitality given to the running in red team was very much appreciated. Also Melanie Lawson from the
Snowy Mountains radio for ensuring the success of the run from Sea to Snow, to the people who donated collectively you have raised to date $6,503.50 for MS Australia. How good is that? Now I’m told I have to do it in reverse Snow 2 Sea next time. Thank you, we do it for those that can’t run. Denis Reid Queanbeyan
Riposte Lisa Ashurst According to some new research, Facebook can be as addictive as the pokies for some of us as it hooks people (especially teens) into a condition known as FOMO, which translates as Fear of Missing Out. Well any parent with teenage children could write the book on FOMO. It’s a condition that sets in big time as soon as they open their first social media account and escalates until they hit their 20s, when they generally tend to put it into some kind of perspective, but during their teens it is the be all and end all of their whole lives! When my kids were grappling FOMO they were deaf and blind to things like “Have you finished your homework?” and “Where are the scissors?” because what their friends were doing and saying was so much more important. Mealtimes were merely breathing space, assuming you banned them from having their phones at the table (I did), because as soon dinner was over it was back to the computer unless you stood before it, arms akimbo (did that too) and demanded they call it a night! Yes, I ruined their lives at least twice a week during their teens but I pulled rank anyway and just told them to get over it and finish their homework and eventually (oh thank god!) they outgrew the obsession and today Facebook and such no longer rules their every waking moment. But back in the day, such things as how many “Likes” they got on photos or comments was not really a big issue with them so maybe they were not

ADVERTISING & SUBSCRIPTIONS as deeply entrenched as they could have been because, according to the research, many of those using social media as a de-stress tool are also relying too heavily on it for positive reinforcement. Too few “Likes” sends a perceived message to some that they are not as popular as they’d like to be which leads to more time spent on social media to try and lift their profile and to ensure they don’t miss a single thing their friends are doing or discussing. This is major FOMO, as is posting every moment of your day and night every five minutes just so people can see how great your life is, and if you’re not the one doing all the posting, then just reading about your friends’ great lives (because you’re checking in with your social media pages every five minutes too) is enough to bring on a downer because in comparison, your life doesn’t look as great as theirs. Of course, they could be colouring the facts a bit regarding their days/nights but this would not occur to you if you’re a dyed-in-thewool FOMO addict because if it’s online, it’s Gospel, right? Their lives are wonderful and you’re Missing Out! That’s FOMO in a nutshell. But is it really a new thing? Before social media and mobile phones there was just the household landline and many a teen spent a sleepless night if it didn’t ring at least once for them over the course of an evening. And when it did ring, there was inevitably a parent standing by and pointing to the clock while mouthing “hang up!” only twenty minutes into your chat time, thus ruining your life. Guess we had FOMO back then too...we just didn’t have a name for it.

Monaro Dance Centre’s spectacular Bombala concert
‘Winter Wonderland’ was a beautiful piece by the Junior Ballet students.
The colourful Finale of the concert saw all of the students taking the stage.
Junior Jazz donned their wings to perform ‘A Bug’s Life’.
Brady Jones and Tayla Robinson performed their highly acclaimed act to ‘Take Me To Church’. IN a wonderful show of music and movement, the Monaro Dance Centre held their annual concert at the Bombala High School on Sunday, November 15. A crowd of 120 people attended the event to watch students from Bombala and surrounding areas perform. This year marks the 21st annual dance concert for the Bombala MDC Studio. The first dance classes were held at the Bombala High School and the Delegate Tennis Club in 1995 under the coordination for Cynthia Dolan. Monaro Dance Centre has been strongly committed to the community and continue to follow the mission statement which is to provide opportunities in dance and the performing arts across the Monaro region. This year’s Bombala Concert theme was based on a class
Junior and Intermediate Tap performed ‘Candyland’. of primary school students; “Show & Tell” was a story about the children’s prized possessions coming to life. There was a variety of dances from different styles such as Contemporary, Ballet Jazz and Tap. Senior Jazz students performed an Army dance which was inspired by war medals, and Junior Ballet performed Winter Wonderland evolving from a love of snowflakes. Monaro Dance Centres Bombala Co-ordinator Chloe Hope said she is very proud of all the students. “They surprise me not only at concert time but throughout the entire year with their dedication and love for dance,” she said. “ They are constantly striving for perfection and they have all grown so much as performers. I cannot wait to see what
CWA fashion parade About 60 people came along to the Country Womens Association Monaro Group fashion parade at the Cooma Ex-Services Club on Saturday afternoon.

The audience also enjoyed plenty of lucky door prizes as well as a raffle and yummy spread of cakes, slices and sandwiches for afternoon tea. The CWA Monaro Group includes Adaminaby, Berridale, Bredbo, Canberra, Cooma, Dalgety-Numbla Vale, Jerangle-Peak View, Jindabyne and Nimmitabel.
The MDC’s Bombala district award winners for the year were (top) Mackenzie Phillips, Josie Cotterill, Annie Green, (front) Sarah Marks, Jenaya Tonks and Mabel Tucker. 2016 brings to MDC Bombala.” The following students were presented with awards for encouragement and achievement Jenaya Tonks, Sarah Marks and Mabel Tucker.

A great day out at the CPS fete
Cooma Public School held their fundraising fete on Saturday. With a chocolate wheel, face painting, jumping castle, live music and plenty of other fun games and activities, the crowd had a fantastic day. The Cooma Public School would like to thank the P&C for their tireless work putting the day together, to all the staff for their dedication to making the day successful, and to the children and their families, as well as the wider community for coming along to support the school.

Snowy Mountains Grammar JCS Christmas dinner School – Capturing our History dance plans
Leah showing Felix and Cameron her photo album. Over the last four weeks Snowy Mountains Grammar School Year 7 students have had the opportunity to connect and communicate with local seniors as part of the Capturing Our Living History project. The project was arranged through Snowy River Shire Council Community Services, who offered all schools in the area the opportunity to meet with older people and share the wisdom they have gained over the years. Snowy Mountains Grammar School and St Patrick’s in Cooma took up the call. This project has given younger students the opportunity to learn about ageing and to build positive images about older people and the roles they still play in our
community. Senior citizens from Berridale, Old Adaminaby, Jindabyne and surrounds were introduced to the class and were then paired off with the students, who began ‘interviewing’ and exploring their ‘partners’’ lives, some of whom have lived in this area their whole life. The seniors were very impressed with how the students engaged with them and also the range of questions they asked. Some of the topics covered included: the days of the Snowy Scheme, the flooding of the towns, their school days, changes in technology, differences in everyday living, and one student was very impressed about how resourceful people were who lived on the land, and still are! There was much discussion at first about how the project would progress over the course of four weeks and to capture the interviews, and each person’s stories, on video. The aim is to preserve the stories for future generations by utilising the skills of younger people and by creating a final published collection of oral histories.
Jindabyne Central School P&C are hosting a Christmas Dinner Dance as a celebration for the year we’ve had and a fun way to create some community engagement, all whilst raising money to assist the school. The JCS P&C would like to invite all members of the community to enjoy this fabulous night of entertainment on Saturday November 21 from 7pm at the Jindabyne Bowling Club. In addition to a two course meal and complimentary drink on arrival, guests will enjoy the tunes of the very talented local band The Hip Replacements. The Hip Replacements were a big hit supporting Chris Isaak in Thredbo, Easter, 2013 before a large outdoor crowd, they’ve wowed audiences at the June Long Weekend Perisher Peak Music Festival two years in a row now. The band really enjoys playing and has a star studded lineup including Jeremy Paul, bass guitarist who was a founding member of Air Supply and also formed, managed and played bass with Divinyls and Ian “Gunther” Gorman, lead and rhythm guitar, has been in many Australian bands, almost a Who’s Who of Aussie Rock including Daddy Cool, Richard Clapton and Sherbet. The very talented Manfred “Manny” Aigner, lead and rhythm guitar, Stuart Hodges, home grown Jindabyne front man, Sue
Sell, on keyboards and Wayne Kirkpatrick, a rock solid drummer and percussionist, who drives it all along. The JCS P&C would like to encourage you to use this event as an opportunity to create a “Staff Christmas Party,” a “Birthday Celebration”, a “Girls Night Out” – whatever excuse you need to get out and have fun with your friends or and work colleagues! The local business community have really come together to help make this an event to look forward to, with more than $2,000 in prizes to be won on the night, and over $2,000 donations “in kind” that have helped to pull the event together. Make sure you get your friends together and buy your tickets so you can enjoy this local Snowy Mountains band playing up a storm. They’re guaranteed to get everyone up and dancing! Tickets are $50 per person, and can be purchased from the Jindabyne Bowling Club.

Snowliner’s Kimberley Adventure - part two
The Snowliner group at the Mitchell Falls. Leaving Mt Elizabeth Homestead behind we make our way to Drysdale Roadhouse to replenish the truck with fuel, lovely green grass in area, how beautiful. We then cross the Drysdale River and King Edward River before stopping at Munumurra for lunch and a wonderful swim, this time there is even a ladder in to the swimming area. Mitchell Falls is our final destination and camping for two nights with no showers, no power and no drinkable water, so if you weren’t a swimmer there was no chance to freshen up. Our final leg in to Mitchell Falls was 75kms which took two and a half hours over rough corrugated dirt roads. Thursday arrives and we are flying by helicopter to the actual falls, taking a bit longer flight we see the lower Mitchell Falls and river system around. When you see photos of the falls, three pools in total and one falling into the other. The change in depth and space between each one between the wet and dry season is amazing. The water colour also varies dramatically. There appears to be no way to climb down to the swimming holes, apart from the fact that they are considered sacred sites, so they remain pristine. We commence our 5km walk back to our campsite. Unfortunately Di has a fall and after a swim decides to head back for a helicopter ride back to base. We later read that this is a ‘Class 5’ walk so are very proud of ourselves accomplishing the walk. We cross little Merten Falls that are extremely dry but can imagine the power of the water racing through and over the cliff face. Lunch is enjoyed in a shady passage and then it is out in the sun again. Dam, it is an uphill section and I start to fade but eventually make it down the other side to a beautiful swimming hole but of course we have to climb back out. And this time while climbing up and over the rocks Dave has a fall, extremely lucky. Back to camp and a rest for the afternoon. The meals that Dan and Steph are preparing for us are worthy of a five star restaurant and prepared so quickly. I have asked Dan how he goes cooking for two to which he replied it was more difficult for him. Our last night camping in the ‘wilds’.
The Prison tree near Derby WA.
Windjana Gorge in the West Kimberley. Our first two stops coming back from Mitchell Falls are at an Aboriginal rock art site, age unknown but at least 23,000 years. Whilst Hazel does not have a fall she is certainly going down with dehydration, never underestimate the power of water. One small area was fenced in and within a hole in the rock face were three skulls and numerous body bones, reason and ownership unknown. Over a period of 12 months they have many photos showing the bones in different positions. Crossing the Drysdale River we stop for a beautiful swim, we have had so many swims here in the Kimberley it is just amazing. Last tour we only had two swims. Then we are only a few k’s from our overnight stay at Drysdale Station and proper beds. Most of the couples had rooms with bathrooms between two rooms which they appreciated. Dinner was a huge hamburger which apparently has been in the Sunday paper for one of the top 10 places you have to eat. Fancy having one place ‘way out west’. And the cold drinks were really appreciated. An early breakfast and Gerald tells me he came across a snake on his way to the toilet during the night. Nothing has been said yet as he did not want to scare anyone! First stop is the Gibb River and of course another swim for Anne and I and later Dan. On our last tour some dangled their feet in this section of the river and were promptly told to move away due to the risk of crocodiles. Dan assured us they have not been seen in this section but we did not linger long! An impromptu stop was made at Ellendale Homestead where we enjoyed scones with tea and coffee or a cold drink. A young couple are managing the property which mainly has wild stock which are mustered every 2-3 years. Our next stop is at Dimboola Falls for lunch and then on to the Pentecost for a photographic opportunity of the truck crossing and then in to Home Valley Station. Wasn’t it amazing to walk into a room with the air conditioning going! Our first sleep in, what a luxury. Emma Gorge is our
destination today, only a mile walk each way but lots of clamouring over rocks. Emma Gorge is a beautiful waterfall, swimming area within the El Questro Station. On our visit to this area three years ago there were very few people visiting. We actually had the area to ourselves on that occasion. This time it was like Pitt Street with people coming and going all the time, including a visit from a snake, which put a school group into a bit of a panic. The swim was refreshing after the climb and then on our return trek I decided to have a fall which of course someone had to get photographic evidence of. Returning to Home Valley Station for a great bbq lunch, swim in the pool and some even go on a helicopter flight over the Station. The Cockburn Ranges are an impressive sight and more impressive later in the day as we enjoy the sunset display of pinks and purples. Crocodiles are seen in the Pentecost River and a vehicle, brand new at the time, which a station hand tried to drive across the River in flood conditions. Never did find out if he still had a job. Leaving luxury behind we make our way to Zebedee Springs for a swim in the thermal waters. These Springs are only open to the public until 12noon after which they are closed for use of guests staying at El Questro Station. A detour was made into El Questro where most commented that they were pleased to enjoy the luxury of our previous nights. El Questro Wilderness Park is a million acres in area and located on the Gibb River Road, now sealed to their entrance. The pastoral lease was first established in 1903. It became a tourist destination after being purchased by Will and Celia Burrell in 1991. From here we make our way to Kununurra to stock up on supplies before making our way to Turkey Creek, following the Osmond Ranges and eventually arrive in the Bungle Bungles. Continued next week
A stopoff along the Gibb River Road.

The Cooma Hospital Auxiliary celebrated their 85th birthday last week with a luncheon at the Alpine Hotel. The event was attended by local Auxiliary members as well as deputy mayor Rogan Corbett, Cooma Hospital manager Antje Badger and United Hospital Auxiliaries State Treasurer and South East Representative Christine Smith. The guest speakers offered their support and praised members of the Auxiliary for their tireless efforts in raising money for valuable hospital machinery. The birthday was celebrated by the cutting of the cake by Mary McKee, who is the Auxiliary’s longest serving member. Mary has provided 30 years of service to the Hospital Auxiliary, starting in 1985 and assuming various roles including President, Treasurer and Secretary. The early fundraising started in 1930 with a cookery book written by Miss Ina Walters that was sold for one shilling to raise money for the Cooma District Hospital. This same book was reprinted in 1988 and sold for $4 dollars, then again in 2012 where it was given as a gift to people that attended a United Hospital Auxiliaries Zone Conference held in Cooma. In 1934 the Cooma fundraisers became affiliated with the United Hospital Auxiliaries and continued to raise money through events such as film nights, dances, fetes, card evenings, raffles, catering a range of other services. In 1982 the kiosk moved to the new hospital and fives years later the Auxiliary donated $10,000 to the hydrotherapy pool, then contributed a further $10,000 to the pool fund in 1994. They also raised $10,000 towards a community bus in 1993. The small, dedicated core of Auxiliary staff has worked tirelessly over the last decade to donate $206,687 worth of equipment to the Cooma Hospital. Some of the major items include an ECG machine, a bladder scanner, a paediatric trolley, a transfer trolley, lift chairs, a duel tourniquet digital table, a fridge, 16 electric beds, a birthing bed, two scanning tilt chairs, 29 bedside cabinets, a fluid warming

for 151st race day SNOWY MOUNTAINS HWY, ADAMINABY PH: 6454 2256
24 HOUR NRMA DEPOT - TOWING SERVICE
The Adaminaby Jockey Club is rich in history, with the Racecourse having only been in its current position for the last 51 years. The Adaminaby township was moved due to the construction of the Snowy Scheme and the creation of the Lake Eucumbene, and with it, the old Racecourse buildings were transported to their current location. The committee and local volunteers are proud of their efforts busily refreshing buildings, stables and grounds each year in preparation of this event. This is one of the biggest annual events held in the Snowy Mountains. This year Adaminaby is celebrating 151 years of horse racing, it is shaping up to be a wonderful day with such events as
The Calcutta on the Friday night, music, food and bar facilities and many other attractions on the day. The Race Day has been run as a theme day for the past 15 years with great participation and fun from the race goers, this year will be Sporting heroes. Break out your inner Denis Lillee, Thorpedeo, Phar Lap or Johnny Raper and join in the fun. We expect to see flippers, shorts, bathers, cricket boxes – the lot – on race day. The Adaminaby Cup has been proudly sponsored by local entities for decades, such sponsors are the Snowgoose Hotel, Bolaro Station (also hosting the Bolaro Cup).
One of our other major events is Fashions on the Field. Clever entrants may be able to combine the fun theme with their outfit . Gates will open at 11am. Full Tote and Sky Channel will be available on course, along with a selection of country and metropolitan bookmakers for you to have a flutter. There are NO ATM or EFTPOS facilities available.

Adaminaby Jockey Club president, Lynley Miners, is looking forward to another very successful race day on November 21. “Last year (the 150th anniversary) was a very big event with the Governor-General, politicians and local government identities in attendance. “What was really good about last year was the number of people who attended and used the occasion as a focus for a reunion. “The number of people who used the day to connect with the community made it really special. “Without that tremendous support, we would not have won the community race club of the year award and I thank everyone for making that possible. “I’d like to wish jockey Kevin Sweeney well in his retirement. He has ridden
winners at Adaminaby for many years and I hope his retirement is enjoyable and rewarding for him. “At last year’s meeting we also had the champion racehorse Take Over Target as a special guest with his owner Joe Janiac. Unfortunately, this wonderful horse had to be put down earlier this year after a paddock accident. I’m sure everyone will join me in extending our condolences to Joe on the loss of his champion. “I’d also like to thank our sponsors who have again come on board this year to make the race meeting possible. “Without the support of these generous people, country racing would not continue. So thank you all so much. “A big thanks too, to all our volunteers who make the day run smoothly. “This year we will have members of the
Riverina Racing Supporters Club attending from Wagga – these supporters choose which meeting they want to support each and this year a bus and several carloads of them will be at Adaminaby. We’ll make sure they have a good time. “In keeping with this year’s them of Sporting Heroes, we will have a former captain of Cronulla RL team, David Hatch, in attendance. “I encourage all racegoers to have a bit of fun and get into the spirit of the occasion and come dressed as their favourite sports hero. I also encourage everyone to enter the Fashions on the Field competition this year. There are some great prizes to be won and it is a good opportunity for everyone to dress up for a great day out. See you all there.” - Lynley Miners

Art4Agriculture Program Bombala police report NSW Farmers Association is investing in the next generation of agricultural leaders through the Art4Agriculture Program which matches young farming champions to schools to inspire students to pursue a career in agriculture. This year the association has sponsored three schools: Hurlstone Agricultural High School, Gwynneville Public School and James Ruse Agricultural High school and two Young Farming Champions - Georgia Clark from the egg sector and Kylie Schuller from the beef sector. The Art4Agriculture Program runs the annual Archibull Prize which sees rural and urban schools research an agricultural sector and present it through artwork on a fibreglass cow. NSW Farmers President Derek Schoen said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the help of Kylie and Georgia, these school students have gained a clear understanding of the challenges our industry faces and translated that knowledge through art and multimedia with great results.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art4Agriculture partnerships promote conversations about modern farming practices and the
threats to food security,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is extremely important to build the foundation of agricultural education for the next generation at a young age and bring food and fibre production into the classroom,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Schoen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only does Art4Agriculture inform school students on important issues facing the industry, it also encourages and engages them to look at specific industries.â&#x20AC;? Gwynneville Public Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
entry â&#x20AC;&#x153;Izzy Fowl - The Poultry Cowâ&#x20AC;? won the Primary School section of the 2015 Archibull Prize and the winner of the best animation award for primary schools. Hurlstone Agricultural High School scooped the pool for the infographic that best communicated the message that â&#x20AC;&#x153;biosecurity is a shared responsibilityâ&#x20AC;&#x153; winning best school and student entry. For more information visit www. art4agriculture.com.au.
This week we have received numerous reports of unknown persons attempting to break and enter homes in the Bombala area. We have made reports and are being assisted by the forensic services group from Queanbeyan. One particular incident occurred in Wellington Street where it appears the unknown offender has cut themselves in the attempt to gain entry. The injury appears to have bled profusely causing large droplets to fall onto some wood and tiles nearby. Police have taken a sample of that blood for analysis and the results are pending. This comes as a reminder for people to lock all doors and windows to houses and garages. Do not leave yourself open to becoming a victim and please report all incidents to Police as soon as practicable. We are very concerned by the rise of this activity and urge the community to be vigilant at all times. The NSW Police Forensic Services Group are a great asset and have assisted in many cases from the area. We are hopeful of an arrest when the results are returned. In other news we would like to commend the local community and all persons who attended the 2015
Bombala Bike Show. There was a large Police presence in the town which included Police from Jindabyne, Cooma, Monaro Target Action Group and the Monaro Highway Patrol. Police conducted over 250 breath tests and conducted a number of searches as part of proactive Police work. One person from Delegate was charged with mid range drink driving and a small out of infringements issued to other motorists. Police also located and seized a small amount of cannabis from several persons who attended on the weekend. There were some minor issues reported from the local licensees however the weekend was otherwise incident free. Visiting Police commented on the good behaviour and also wish to commend those who attended. Any questions about this matter or if you wish for Police to assist with any other matter please do not hesitate to contact Steve or myself on 0264583444 or by email as below. mark1nat@police.nsw.gov.au and gay1ste@police.nsw.gov.au.

Wet puts daggy Jillian Atkinson: Life on the Land Wool classing and more at TAFE Illawarra sheep at risk Sheep producers have been prompted by the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) to take preventive action now to protect vulnerable sheep from flystrike. DPI sheep development officer, Geoff Casburn, said recent rain combined with warm, humid weather has generated ideal conditions for flystrike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheep with dags or urine, birth and sweat stains are ideal targets for flies and are likely to be struck unless counter measures, such as crutching, are taken,â&#x20AC;? Mr Casburn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is better to reach for the handpiece before problems begin and ensure your flock is not exposed to flystrike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Body strike is also likely in wet conditions as female flies lay their eggs on moist fleece caused by fleece rot, mycotic dermatitis, known as dermo, and grass seed contamination. Mr Casburn said a chemical application to deter flies from laying eggs is an option for sheep where body strike is likely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a number of products on the market with different periods of protection, withholding periods and export slaughter intervals,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is vital chemical label requirements are followed and producers select an appropriate product, especially on animals that could be sold for meat or are due to be shorn.â&#x20AC;? Some products have as high as 180 days for wool withholding and 120 days for meat export slaughter interval. Producers are advised to make sure chemical labels are thoroughly checked. Information about registered chemicals is available on the back of National Vendor Declaration forms and in DPI Primefact Chemicals registered to treat lice and flystrike on sheep from DPI offices or online, www.dpi. gov.au Sheep that are struck need to be treated quickly by removing the wool close to the skin and around the strike area, with the application of fly dressings to prevent re-strike. Flystrike wounds are very sensitive and label directions should be followed closely to cause the least amount of stress and ensure the correct dose rate is applied. After cleaning an active strike with a handpiece, crutchings should be placed in a sealed plastic bag and placed in the sun to kill maggots.
Jillian Atkinson says there are jobs to be had for those trained in the specialty field of Wool Classing, which she overseas at TAFE Illawarra Cooma. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wool and sheep industry is very strong in the Monaro region in particular,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For someone wanting to work in a rural industry with sheep and wool thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a definite career path for them.â&#x20AC;? Each year TAFE Illawarra Cooma offers courses in Wool Classing at the Certificate III and Certificate IV levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are introducing a new form of delivery in 2016 with block release courses offered in Wool Classing. If the numbers are right, and we can attract interest from outlying areas, such as Bombala and Bega, this will go ahead,â&#x20AC;? she says. This means courses in Wool Classing might allow students to attend in blocks of a few days in a row each month, affording greater study flexibility. Some short courses relating to agricultural training in general are also on offer at TAFE Illawarraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cooma campus.
The agriculture sector â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jobs in all areas of the agriculture sector for anyone willing to train and have a go,â&#x20AC;? says Jillian, in her other role as industry expert and TAFE Illawarra Goulburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Head Teacher of Agriculture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots of great opportunities in the agriculture sector. All you have to do is lead with your heart, work at it and there are jobs out there.â&#x20AC;? She was responding to the Minister for Primary Industries Niall Blairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent announcement launching the NSW Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $45 million Farm Business Skills Professional Development Program. The program offers service providers and primary producers the chance to participate in vocational training and farm business
planning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This means the government is recognising the importance and need for support behind agriculture training in the country, which is something TAFE Illawarra has been delivering all along.â&#x20AC;?

Jillian says TAFE Illawarra delivers courses that lead into general agriculture, dairy farm work, wool classing, work with plants, and animal studies, including veterinary nursing and jobs in the equine industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When students commit to their studies, all these areas offer jobs,â&#x20AC;? says Jillian.

November Shoot â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bring a Mate Dayâ&#x20AC;? Cooma Field and Gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoot for November, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bring a Mate Dayâ&#x20AC;? went off without a hitch on Sunday. Although due to a larger than expected turnout some people had fairly basic fair for lunch. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;bring a mate dayâ&#x20AC;? has been running now for 8 years and has not lost its popularity. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;targets onlyâ&#x20AC;? shooters were there in numbers which must be a testament to the popularity of Field and Game shooters, they obviously have a lot of mates. Total numbers added up to 65 shooters which is excellent given the club has two shoots this month with a Compaq shoot being held on the 29th. The shoot was sponsored by long time member Ed Oslins. Ed not only sponsored the event, he set up the range and worked tirelessly throughout the day making sure everything ran smoothly.
This was an excellent effort as Ed has had some health issues in the last 12 months which it would appear are behind him and he is well on the road to recovery. The event was a handicapped event which gives the entire field an opportunity to get amongst the prizes. Shoot secretary Rhonda White was able to put her office duties to the back of her mind and took out a well-deserved High gun.

The Monaro Air Rifle club held its AGM on October 20. For the first time in the history of the club, members elected a female President, Vice President and Armourer. Some of our more experienced members have agreed to continue on as well, which gives the club an exciting mix of old and new committee members this year. As students 12 years and over can shoot (supervised), shooting is really becoming a sport that the whole family can participate in. Our members can compete in various local competitions, out of
town shoots, postal shoots or just come along and shoot casually. We are able to organise the firearms, safety and training course for new members, to be done at our club during shoot nights. We have a warm and friendly club facility which includes bar and kitchen facilities. These facilities can also be hired out for weddings and other functions. Our shooting nights are Wednesdays from 6pm, so come down and check out our facilities and have a go.

Bombala Bike Show 2015 RAMPT miniFX wowed the crowd with their jumps and stunts.
Big Mo won the Loudest Bike Comp.
The winning Ladies Bike belonged to Yvette Haines of Kellyville. Overall Best Bike was James Patteson’s Yamaha Virago.
Bombala’s very own Bridie Hampshire showed the Best Kids Bike. The Tyre Toss tempted Louise Wright.
The Bombala Bike Show that we all know and love had a major point of difference this year, with the event getting “back to its roots” on Saturday by returning to the street. The Australian Motorcyclist Magazine sponsored festival was held in Therry and Caveat Streets, reminding us of the early years when the Bike Show was located behind the local pubs. This gave the event a different feel following years being hosted at the Bombala Exhibition Ground, but there was still a happy crowd making their way around the various stalls and displays - and of course the bikes, bikes, bikes! “It was a beaut day, and we were very pleased with its financial success, putting the committee in a better position to really celebrate the 25th anniversary next year,” Bike Show Committee President, Grantley Ingram said. “We did get a mixed response to the venue. The people down on the street were happy with it and our local retailers largely found it a successful weekend, but the campers at the showground did find it less convenient. “Having said that, it was still a very successful show, and we are looking forward to next year being bigger and better.” Once again Bombala welcomed many visiting riders to the area for the annual event, with around 60 bikes being entered into the formal categories for judging, while hundreds of others were simply parked around the pubs and street for all to admire. And the crowd was certainly left impressed, with everything from rustic vintage bikes to stunning painted and shined machines grabbing everyone’s interest. The winner of the Overall Best Bike was James Patteson of Victoria, whose 1998
Yamaha Virago earned him the winning trophy, presented by Australia Motorcyclist Magazine Sales Manager, Terri Dodd and Paul Jenner of Shannons Insurance. Other standouts on the day were the Best Rat Bike entered by Alf Ryall of Cooma, and the Best Kids Bike which was entered by Bombala’s very own Bridie Hampshire. There was much more to the day than the show bikes, however, with one of the main features being the incredible stunt shows put on by the riders of RAMPT miniFX who wowed the crowds with their jumps. There was also a Loudest Bike Comp and the traditional Tyre Toss, while plenty of interest was shown in the car endurance test that pitted a Holden against a Ford running with no oil or water. The Holden won for those who missed it! Meanwhile a number of stalls and food vendors offered their wares, while various displays were set up, including a selection of engines and tractors from the Bombala and District Historical Engine and Machinery Society. Among all this the kids were happily entertained, with the jumping castle proving popular, along with face painting and of course the junior bike activities. After all, the bikes were certainly the stars of the show, and no matter how you felt about the Australian Motorcyclist Magazine Bombala Bike Show returning to the street, there was certainly plenty to admire! The Committee would now like to express sincere appreciation to all of its sponsors and the many volunteers who helped make the day a success, and encourage all to pass on their feedback through the survey to be found on the Bombala Bike Show website.

Monaro cricket on despite the wet weather Cricket prevailed on the weekend despite poor weather threatening to disrupt things. Some last minute grounds changes ensured that all senior games and the junior rep cricket got the go ahead. Peak View Jerangle (PVJ) played Dalgety in a grand final rematch at Nijong. PVJ batted first and were off to a solid start with a 48 run opening partnership between Nathan Boate and Mitch Clarke. Clarke was run out on 37 triggering a middle order collapse with PVJ losing six wickets for just 10 runs. Mark Askell (21) and James Ewart (15) consolidated the innings and some late hitting from Jack Johnson saw PVJ reach 127 before being bowled out in the 43rd over. Dalgety bowling honours went to G. Hough 3/21 off 6, Eddie Hogan 2/7 off 9 and Jake Hedger 2/ 26 off 9. Dalgety got away to a shaky start losing a wicket in the second over. The bowling partnership of Isaac Horneman (4/24) and Mitch Clarke (1/21) put the Dalgety batting lineup under pressure. Harry Roach supported the bowling well with very tidy figures of 3/7 off 9. Iain Elliot provided a solid effort with the bat, but he was eventually undone on 64 by Boate leaving Dalgety all out for 98, 30 runs short of the win. The game between Jindabyne and Berridale was moved to Dalgety due to rain. Jindabyne won the toss and elected to bat first, with several batsmen getting starts but nobody
going on to make a big score. Jeff Williamson top scored for Jindabyne with the bat with 36 and M Stockl was the pick of the Berridale bowlers with figures of 3/37. Jindabyne started the second innings defending their total well, with Berridale struggling on 3/43. Stockl (82) and Ben Hearn on an unbeaten 82 took control with the bat and steered Berridale to their first win of the season with three overs to spare.
Coffey’s took on The Aussie at Snowy Oval and batted first. Zach Smith continued his good form from last week, settling in well and seeing the shine off the new ball. Sam Williams, batting at second drop, joined him at the crease and the pair put on a solid partnership before Smith was run out on 77. Williams then took control of the innings, bringing up his century with a six and guiding Coffey’s to 2/250. The Aussie struggled early against the opening bowling partnership of Stephen Summerville and Sam Williams. Chris Koury batted well for 87 but with limited support and a climbing run rate he could only do so much, with The Aussie ending up on 187 after 45 overs. Jake Quodling came away with Coffey’s best figures with 3/22. Next week Coffey’s play Jindabyne at Rotary, Berridale play Dalgety at Dalgety and The Aussie play Peak View Jerangle at Snowy. Pictured, Zach Smith for Coffeys.
Stormy conditions on lake Story by Tim Symons, photos by John Byrne Despite the rainy, grey and cold conditions on the evening of Wednesday November 11, 11 sailors rigged 10 boats to compete in Lake Jindabyne Sailing Club’s heat two of the 2015/16 Twilight series. Nick Kennedy joined John Byrne on the start boat. They waited until 6.05pm for the wind to steady and sent the three cats off first into a light easterly breeze. The mono-hulls followed five minutes later. Barney Davis sailed his Hobie 16 solo and led Barry Dennis towards the shore on the first work to the Quarry mark. Tim Symons tacked off to the middle and reached the mark first. The cats all took slightly different routes to the Peninsular mark, but arrived together with Sam Bishop on his Laser. The wind shifted around and varied in strength while low storm clouds gathered with distant thunder, lightning and falling rain. The skippers searched for every elusive shift in the breeze with some making great gains and some great losses. The fleet completed a shortened two lap course when John and Nick took pity on the cold and wet sailors and sent them back to the muddy beach. The three cats battled at the front of the fleet with Tim finally gaining the lead on the windward / Leeward lap and finishing first. He was followed by Barney and Barry. Sam Bishop sailed a great race to finish close behind the cats and in front of all the monohulls. Sam took the Handicap corrected time win from Ross Tattersall, Jason Abbott, Terry Lee, Martin Van Weel, Phil Daley and Nick Kirshner and Kerry McGaw. The first race of Lake Jindabyne Sailing Club’s 2015/16
Club Championship series was held on the afternoon of Saturday November 14. A record fleet of 14 boats rigged up to compete in the race. Also, Victoria Incani sailed around in a club laser while Lucy and Lexi Cross practiced their sailing on their Manly Junior (MJ), locally known as a Moonbah Junior. John Byrne set a long and challenging course for the mixed fleet and started the race from the Bay mark. The sailors jostled for position on the start line and headed off towards the Quarry mark in a light south easterly breeze. Tim Symons and Martin Bannister were late for the start and started to chase the fleet. Nick Kennedy on his Finn led the fleet to the first mark followed by Barry Dennis on a long square run to the Mountain mark. Tim passed the others and set off after Nick and Barry. Barry passed Nick on the way to the Bay mark and started to create a commanding lead over the fleet. The breeze remained light with the occasional stronger gusts teasing the sailors on the long windward work to the Bay mark to complete the first triangle lap. The fleet battled with each
other and the breeze over the five lap course. Alistair Cross sailed his Hydra 16 cat single handed and battled with Randy Wieman and Errol Hanlon on their Hobie 16. Eventually Alistair abandoned the race to assist his daughters on their MJ. After an hour and a half of racing, Barry led the fleet to the finish line. Tim was finally closing the gap with Nick, who finished next, nine seconds behind. They were followed across the line by Randy, Martin B, Terry Lee, Steve Osborne, Kerry McGaw, Sam Bishop, Ross Tattersall, Martin Van Weel, Colin and Cooper de Pagter and Ben Evans. As expected, Nick’s well sailed Finn won the race on Yardstick corrected times, followed by the six Laser Radials of Steve, Kerry Sam, Ross, Martin VW and Ben. Terry sailing his 470 solo was next followed by the cats of Barry, Tim, Randy, Martin and Colin. The sailors all enjoyed the challenging long race and all look forward to the next Championship race on December 12. Pictured, Nick Finn seeking directions.

Saturday afternoon matches for a place in the Semi-finals produced varying results as far as winning margins were concerned. Ron Wainwright, Tony Gray, Brian Seears and Paul Cannell had a 7/0 lead against John Ti-Tree Race Course Cooma Ruzic, Chris Gales, Dave Russell and Peter Dahl then had a spell whilst their opposition scored six shots to retrieve the position but only briefly, as Paul and team mates went out to lead 19/11 and held on to win a semi-final place 21/17. Geoff Venables, Mel Storta, Wayne Lodge and Gordon Cox gained an early lead over Max Butler, Ken Rees, Steve Seears and Mike Mannile and held Mike’s team on six shots for six ends before going on to win a spot in the semi-final 27/15. Mike and Co needed six on the last end to square the match but Fillies on the Field (18 - 28 years) the opposition scored the six. Jack Sajina, John Barnes, Mick Divas on the Field (28 - 40 years) Mayhew and Colin Roberson Diamonds on the Field (over 40 years) started well to lead Peter Caldwell, Peter Marsicano, Terry Best Dressed Gentleman George and Mark Buckley 6/1 on five but then dropped four shots Best Dressed Couple on six then recovered to lead Most Stylish Hat 12/10 on 12. This was the end of their scoring as Mark’s team won the next eight ends to gain a spot in the semi-final 23/12. Col Batten, Leon Weston, Eric Corby and Henry Jackson had

a 7/1 advantage over Sean Underwood, David Kugler, Tony Butler and David Turner but were kept on seven for six ends, then kept Sean, David, Tony and David on nine for eight ends to lead 19/9 and hang on for the fourth spot in the semis 21/15. The Sunday morning semi-final match ups were (skips name only), Henry Jackson v Mark Buckley and Gordon Cox v Paul Cannell. Peter Caldwell, Peter Marsicano, Terry George and Mark Buckley had a 15/1 lead over Col Batten, Leon Weston, Eric Corby and Henry Jackson after six ends and continued to dominate till the end of the match, allowing their opponents to score on just six of the 20 ends played, for a winning score of 30/9 and a place in the final. Ron Wainwright, Tony Gray, Brian Seears and Paul Cannell had an early battle with Geoff Venables, Mel Storta, Wayne Lodge and Gordon Cox to lead 6/5 on end seven. From that point onwards Paul’s team were in complete control, keeping their opponents on five for six ends, and seven for five ends to win a place in the afternoon final 26/9. With both teams coming off convincing wins in the semis the stage was set for a close contest in the final and it was, for the first two ends with the score 1/1 all but that was the only time it was close with Mark’s team racing away to lead 16/1 and allowing Paul’s team only four more scoring ends to win 24/7. Congratulations to Peter Caldwell, Peter Marsicano, Terry George and Mark Buckley, District Fours Champions for this season. Social bowls on Saturday for just five players with Bob Douglass joining the ladies as swinging lead for Wendy King and Cheryl Meillon and for Dawn Russell and Daphne Buckley. Bob, Wendy and Cheryl established a match winning 20/4 lead by end 13 and did not let up to go on and win comfortably. No Social Bowls on Sunday with a large crowd watching the Fours Final.

Golf Club Charity Day and Klein Trophy decided Cooma Golf report by Garry Atkinson The week of golf just gone has seen some strong scoring across all competition days with slightly more run on the course and the greens improving by the day. The big winner this weekend just gone is the golf club with over 74 players supporting the golf club on Sunday with the three-person Ambrose event to support the club. Many thanks go to Col Langdon from Sportspower and his team who organised such a brilliant day. On Saturday, winners Gaye Wilson and Terry Johnston with 68 points took out the Klein Trophy for 2015 from Lorraine and Don McGregor with 59 points and Bob and Marilynne Weston also with 59 points. On Saturday the club saw a single stableford played with 22 players in contention for trophies. The Klein Trophy was also contested. With the course drying out and extra run on the fairways our winner was Alan Kelly with a fine 39 points (round of the day) with Mark Van Ommen coming in second on a countback with 36 points. Ball winners went down to Steve Young with 35 points. Longest drives were taken out by smooth swinging Adam Robinson – A grade. Steven Wheatley in B grade and Alan Kelly - C grade. Nearest the pin on the ninth was won by Mark Van Ommen and Bob Weston hit a lovely close shot on the 17th. Sunday saw the Golf Club Charity Day run. Our overall winner of the Business House for 2013 is Geach Electrical with a perfect winning record over the
competition. Last Wednesday a single stableford was played with 15 players contesting the event. Our winner was Prawit Prakotasung with round of the year (just about) 45 points with Bob Weston coming in next with 35 points. Ball winners went down to 33 points with Phil Amey just scraping in.

Bombala golf results There are no golf results for the ladies this week. Wednesday was a wash out and Saturday the ladies travelled to the Delegate Open. With all the rain the course at Delegate was very heavy and the scores were not very good. Eva L’Estrange came home with a couple of trophies winning the longest drive in her division and a runner up trophy. Members on Saturday played a par for Club Trophy. The winner was Pepper Thompson + 1. from Phillip McIntosh - 1. These chaps were the ball winners. The NTP was not won. Must be hard to find the dance floor on the seventh. On Sunday members travelled to Delegate for the Men’s Open. Clay Stewart was beaten in a play off for the Open Champion but came home with the runner up trophy, Clay also won the visitors trophy. Korie Elton had a good day winning the A Grade handicap
and the longest drive. Leon Jones won the best nine in his division. Had a great first nine but failed badly on the second nine. He also won the veterans trophy. Pepper Thompson won the NTP on the sixth. The teams event was won by Korie Elton, Clay Stewart and Cary Elton. In all the Bombala lads didn’t do too badly. Last weekend the final of the 4 Ball Match Play for K. Elliott and S. Hood Trophies was played. Congratulations to Ross Brown and Paul Halligan on their win. Friends and members of the Club extend our deepest sympathy to Gay Kennedy on the sudden passing of her husband Brian.

Callum selected for the CRL Academy Program Along with Cooma players, Lachlan Inskip and Bill Zammit, Bombala’s Callum Bedingfield has been selected for the Under 16s Country Rugby League Academy Program. Callum has been playing with the Eden Tigers for the last three seasons, winning a comp in his first year. In 2014 he captained the Tigers Under 14s into the finals as well as captaining the Group 16 Under 14s representative team in the Country Rugby League Championships played at Wagga Wagga. The side finished a very respectable fourth, and Callum was awarded the best and fairest as well as being selected to attend the South Sydney Rabbitohs Junior League Academy. Last season in the Under 16s Callum played in the halves with Eden at club level and was again honoured to be given the Group 16 Under 15s representatives captaincy for the Country Championship, finishing fourth. He is also currently attending the SERAS Touch Football Academy at the AIS which concludes next month. Callum was thrilled to be selected in the CRL training program alongside the Colts players, with all three being selected based on
skill and knowledge of rugby league, as well as their passion for playing the game. The boys are undergoing training every couple of weeks, concluding in March in Batemans Bay and Wollongong where they learn more skills, drills and training with NSW assistant coach, Matt Parish and other NRL players. The boys also enjoyed a training session in Wollongong recently with 38 other Under 16 and 18 players from throughout the state, learning about weight work and having the opportunity to meet some Dragons players through the program. In the first training camp the players were involved in a series of fitness time trials, skills and strength tests, where Callum was able to finish on top of the beep test, yo yo test and recorded the quickest time in the agility run.
Cooma junior basketball A weary and sun burnt bunch of basketballers backed up for the local competition on Monday where the game of the day was contested between Unknowns and Nameless. This resulted in Unknowns winning 20 to 18. For the winning team Will Lehrmann had his usual strong game whilst Matthew McDonald went well under the basket. Georgina Ingram continues to improve each week. Maria Tarasyuk used her height well under the basket and Darcy Clarke was most improved for Nameless. In the second division two game Bulls ran out winners over Unicorns 22 to 12 with Margaret Smith dominating the basket scoring 16 points whilst Hudson Laird had a strong all round game. Zara Farrell and Rhys Freebody played strongly for Unicorns whilst brothers Sean and Chris McDonald who were opposing each other had a good duel. In Division one A Team finished the better in a game which was closely contested throughout coming out winners 34 to 25 over A Plus.
For A Team Abby Freimanis, Amber Martin-Smith and Andreas KopeckyGeach were strong in attack whilst Zara Childs, Archie Allen and Noah Saddler worked hard in defence For A Plus. Ethan Hunt dazzled everyone with his flashy gold shoes as well as turning in his usual strong game combining well with Dane Freimanis, Micaela Smith and Jesse Povey in attack whilst Nick Coote provided solid defence In game two Chilly Willies and Sizzlers both played without their number one boys Will Saddler and Jimmy Harding leaving three girls and two boys to do battle for each team. Meg Pearce, Emma Hopkins and Molly Adams for Chillys and Yasmin Williams, Erin Pearce and Aliyah Bartlett for Sizzlers tested each other out as both sides tried to get the upper hand with Chilly Willies running out winners 35 to 23. The girls were well assisted by Danyon Corby, Nick Coote, Darnell Bartlett and Bailey Pearce. Individual points not available this week due to the names on sheets not being numbered.
Continuing an already impressive early footy career, Bombala’s Callum Bedingfield has been selected for the Under 16s Country Rugby League Academy Program.
