Last Wednesday Zoe Dawson, manager of the Cooma Universities Centre, travelled to the University of Canberra main campus in Bruce to participate in the Faculty of Business, Government and Law Employability Showcase.

The showcase gave students enrolled in the University of Canberra a chance to meet with university partners (such as the CUC), potential employees, volunteer coordinators and traineeship providers.

One of the University of Canberra volunteers at the event was ex Monaro High School student Helena Sherlock (graduated in 2013).

Helena spent a year following her HSC doing a traineeship with Cigana Workwear (next to the CUC) and studying her Certificate III in Retail Operations at Cooma TAFE. Helena is now studying a Bachelor of Commerce full time at the University of Canberra and working part time at Uni Lodge.

The Cooma Universities Centre partners with the University of Canberra to offer a unique degree - the Bachelor of Business Studies (Event and Tourism Management). The degree has been especially designed for the Snowy Mountains and is offered in a

flexible delivery mode, allowing students to commence whenever suits them and study at their own pace. Students can utilise the facilities of the CUC, as well as attend set tutorials where they can get assistance from subject experts and academic tutors.

Review of the 2014/15 data identifies a slight decrease of dogs seized/impounded from last reporting period for a total of 141.

An increase has also occurred of dogs being released to their owners/RSPCA during this same period.

A success rate of 99 percent has been achieved for the re-housing or returned to owners of seized and impounded dogs.

This figure can be attributed to an increase of impounded animals being microchipped/registered and being able to return to their owner.

Council has worked closely with the Cooma Branch of the RSPCA in the rehousing of impounded cats and dogs of which volunteer efforts from the RSPCA have been greatly appreciated by Council staff and the community as a whole.

In light of this commitment it was recommended that Council formally write to the local branch of the RSPCA thanking the organisation for their efforts.

Awards recognise Snowy Hydro’s community contribution Snowy Hydro has once again been recognised as an ABA100 Winner for Community Contribution in the Australian Business Awards 2015.

This is the fifth time Snowy Hydro has received the Community Contribution award, demonstrating the value of the organisation’s Community Partnerships Program.

Since the first blast was fired during construction of the Snowy Mountains Scheme in 1949, Snowy Hydro has been a major employer in the region and a valued part of the local community.

The Community Partnerships Program targets investment where it will have a positive impact and generate long-term benefits for the communities of the Snowy Mountains region. The program includes support for the Snowy Hydro SouthCare Rescue Helicopter, Cooma Universities Centre, Young Driver Training as well as local festivals and events.

“Snowy Hydro is an important part of the communities we live, work and operate in. Whether it’s as a major employer, the operator of 16 power stations in some of Australia’s most beautiful countryside, a provider of electricity and gas to our one million account holders or as the supporter of organisations and charities that make a difference to society, we take our role very seriously,” Snowy Hydro CEO Paul Broad said.

“Our focus is on supporting and investing in our local communities where our staff live and work.

We support activities that have a wide reach, are accessible and benefit the people of the Snowy Mountains region. We don’t just provide donations, we build healthy partnerships with the community.”

Ms Tara Johnston, Program Director, says, “For a decade, The Australian Business Awards have conducted knowledge building programs which focus on organisations that prioritise innovation and technology as they continue to drive local and international markets.

“The ABA100 Winners have demonstrated innovative, enterprising and technologically advanced business initiatives and products that support an obvious transformation coinciding with the ever-changing, highly competitive business environment.

“High-performing, intelligent organisations that continuously and effectively improve their processes and products are set to survive the long term challenges faced by all Australian businesses,” Ms Johnston added.

Arrests following Jindabyne drugs and breath test operation At approximately 6pm on Friday August 14 police attached to the Monaro Local Area Command, with the assistance of police from the Hume Local Area Command (Goulburn) and State Protection Group (Dog Unit) conducted an operation targeting prohibited drug possession and random breath testing in the Jindabyne area.

This operation involved police randomly stopping motorist entering the township of Jindabyne from Kosciuszko Road.

Police conducted roadside vehicle stops where a large number of vehicles were stopped. A number of vehicles and persons were searched by police after the detection of prohibited drugs were made by the specialist drug detection trained police dogs.

As a result of this operation, police conducted over 740 breath tests. A total of 17 people were found

to be in possession of a variety of different prohibited drugs. There were 13 separate Cannabis seizures which totalled 91 grams.

3 seizures of MDMA (Ecstasy) totalling 29 tablets. Two seizures of Cocaine were made, totalling four grams and two seizures of Methlyamphetamine were also made which totalled five grams. 102 tablets of steroids, a restricted substance, were seized by police.

A 33-year-old Terrigal man will face Cooma Local Court after concealing a range of prohibited drugs including Cannabis, MDMA and Methlyamphetamine within the motor vehicle he was in. Police also seized $7380 in cash which they will allege are the proceeds of crime.

Inspector Ben Bowles states, “Police discovered a number of sophisticated methods persons were utilising

to hide prohibited drugs within their motor vehicles and person.

However, this was no match for our specialist trained drug detection dogs and skilled police.

We will continue to keep the Alpine community safe from prohibited drugs.”

Anyone with information about this incident should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page: https://www1.police. nsw.gov.au/. Information you provide will be treated in the strictest of confidence. We remind people they should not

report crime information via our Facebook and Twitter pages.

The number of influenza cases in the Southern NSW area has increased significantly over the last two weeks, said Tracey Oakman, Director Public Health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During July, the Public Health Unit received 42 notifications for influenza from Southern NSW. So far for August we have received 50 influenza notifications,â&#x20AC;? said Mrs Oakman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The number of notifications are just the tip of the iceberg, as many people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get tested.

I expect the number of cases will continue to increase throughout the remainder of August and September,â&#x20AC;? said Mrs Oakman.

The influenza is occurring in all ages, many of them school aged children and babies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For those people who have influenza, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to try and not spread the disease. If children are unwell with influenza, keep them home, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t send them to school or childcare.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t visit elderly persons if you are suffering from influenzaâ&#x20AC;? said Mrs Oakman.

Take action to stop the spread of influenza by remembering to:

â&#x20AC;˘ Cover your face when you cough or sneeze and throw used tissues in a rubbish bin â&#x20AC;˘ Wash your hands thoroughly and often.

Wash hands for at least 10 seconds, especially after coughing, sneezing or blowing your nose, or use an alcohol-based hand rub â&#x20AC;˘ Stay at home until youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re well. Wait at least 24 hours after your fever resolves so you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to infect other people.

Keep sick children away from school and other activities â&#x20AC;˘ Call ahead to see a doctor. If you think you may have influenza and you need to see a doctor, remember to call first so the clinic can take precautions to reduce the risk to other people.

The best way to prevent influenza is to be vaccinated.

Birdsnest’s new wheels General Manager, JOE VESCIO

Council is very pleased that we have again been successful in achieving grant funding that will provide very positive outcomes for our community.

All eight noxious weed grant funding applications for control activities on vacant crown land submitted under the NSW Governments Public Reserve Management Fund (PRMF) were successful.

The 2015/16 PRMF round was extremely competitive having more than 740 applications submitted with a total value of over 500% of the available funds. Each application was assessed at the local and regional level before being consolidated and reviewed on a whole-of-State basis by the Assessment Committee. In this regard, we are extremely pleased to have all applications approved for funding.

Council was also successful in achieving a further $40 000 in granting funding that has provided the final necessary funds required to commence the new inclusive playground in Banjo Paterson Park.

This new grant from the NSW Sport & Recreation Disability Grants program, combined with the $10 000 previously committed by Council, $40 000 from John Barilaro and $30 000 in community fundraising, ensures that the total $120 000 budget is now secured for the project.

The playground is one element of a staged, strategic plan to rejuvenate the whole Lake Jindabyne's foreshore parkland precinct. The additional ClubGrants funding of $110 000 secured a few months ago by Council for the all ability fitness equipment and linkages along the foreshore are complementary to the playground upgrade.

I congratulate all staff involved, in particular Council’s Grants Officer, for achieving successful outcomes that strongly benefit our community and visitors to the Shire.

We’re local, supporting locals.

Keeping the local dollar here!

Pictured the Birdsnest Birds have a bit of fun with their BMW outside the store this week.

The Birdnest team could not be more excited about a new addition to the team.

As part of a cross promotion exercise, BMW Australia have given the Birdnest team a BMW car to get around in for one month.

PR Bird Tan Ward says that Birdsnest has been working with Rolfe Classic BMW in Canberra for a few years now. “They love Cooma and Birdsnest and each season they invite a few customers to grab a demo car and head to Cooma for lunch and a styling and shopping session in the nest. It’s great fun and a wonderful way for

people to come to our town and of course discover our store,” says Tan. Tan says that these road trips have led to return visits from the customers, who will often come back with more friends to check out the nest.

“Bringing more people into the town is something that everyone can benefit from,” says Tan, “The partnership between Rolfe Classic BMW and Birdsnest is a great awareness raiser for both us, the Cooma region and of course for showing off the BMW cars for Rolfe Classic.”

With social media posts planned with the

car, the Birdsnest girls are excited to get their name out to a wider audience through the massive BMW following.

‘The car gives us an opportunity to talk to BMW’s national audience to share our story and the chance for BMW to talk to our customers as well,” says Tan, “None of us can quite believe that we have this beautiful car in our hands for the month.

It is super impressive and we’re going to enjoy the ride while we can. If it’s out the front of the store and you want to take a look then you’re more than welcome.”

Alpine Quarry to continue operation A contentious decision was made by the Snowy River Shire Delivery and Operations Committee (DOC) last Tuesday regarding the Alpine Quarry located 17km west of Jindabyne. Operated by Rye Plant Hire, the hard rock quarry was given a time period of 15 years from 1 December 2000 for its operation.

It was expected that the 550,000 tonne extraction would be completed during this time frame, however last year less than 25 per cent had been completed. With the expected rate of extraction not being met, the quarry consequently submitted a request to amend the original Development Application (DA) to allow them to continue

operation for another 15 years.

The DOC decided in a four against three vote to allow the Alpine Quarry to continue operating for 10 years or until such time as the approved material has been extracted.

With environmental concerns and views that the quarry land should be rehabilitated for agricultural and tourism purposes, some councillors felt the application should have been refused.

Other councillors put forward the point that the quarry is beneficial to the area due to the availability of materials to the local region.

Another issue of contention regarding the application was concerns of the legal

implications of the approval. The zoning of the quarry land was changed to E3 Environmental Management in the Snowy River 2013 LEP (Local Environmental Plan), making ‘extractive industry’ no longer permissible. However it was determined that having already been in place and approved, the quarry is considered an ‘existing use’ and is therefore able to lawfully continue. Considering this and with all the required environmental standards being met, the DOC went ahead with the decision to allow the continuation of the Alpine Quarry operation until 1 December 2025.

Community need ANU Medical students in town for a cafe A meeting held in Cooma last week to assess the need for a community café attracted 35 participants with a mix of service providers who see the need daily and community members who were interested in assisting in some way.

The meeting heard from Ross Williams from the Reaching Out Foundation who detailed his experience with setting up Places in Bega, Narooma and Merimbula and explained what it would take to get a Place for Cooma including volunteers, food donations from supermarkets, restaurants and farmers, and a suitable venue.

Ross explained that this model is different from a soup kitchen and referred to it as “dining with dignity”.

David Reading from Lifegate Christian Church told the meeting about their experience delivering Community Foodcare to around 40-50 families per week. David explained how they access food and how it is distributed to those in need. Community Foodcare currently has over 200 members.

The feedback was that yes, there is definitely a need and yes, this model seems like an initiative

that’s worth pursuing.

So the plan from here: · The venue identified as most appropriate is The Hub Youth Centre but it needs renovation to bring the kitchen up to a current commercial standard. We now need source and secure funding for that project. Obviously the kitchen upgrade is the biggest barrier to the project actually getting off the ground, so the sooner we have some movement on that issue the better; we don’t want to lose momentum. · The Place needs a name, so there will be a competition (probably with the schools) to decide on a name and design a logo.. · A majority of people at the meeting indicated an interest in supporting / assisting / volunteering in some way.

They will be put on a register of supporters and engage some of them in the working party that’s driving the project. Anybody else who is interested in being involved is welcome to contact Kristy Harvey at Council or Ross Williams from the Reaching Out Foundation 6494 4452 or willr2@ bigpond.com

A group of 26 second year medical students from the Australian National University (ANU) will be in and around Cooma this week.

The program, facilitated by Dr Robert Wiles, aims at giving the students a taste of rural life.

“The Snowy Mountains and Monaro community provides a huge variety of people and many different opportunities for the students to experience,” says Dr Wiles, “Many of them do not come from a rural background, so they really learn a lot from the program.”

According to Dr Wiles, another valuable part of the week will be giving the students an opportunity to learn some valuable people skills, which will be crucial for dealing with patients in the future.

Splitting the 26 students into groups of three, the students will pair off to interview various members of the community.

The three groups will focus on the topics of people who work on the land, the elderly and people who

Children’s story competition All children across the Monaro are invited to enter the Snowy Mountains Readers Writers Festival Inc. Children’s Written Story Competition. The title of the story is to be “Uphill and Down” and can be either fact or fiction.

There are three categories in the competition under which entries will be judged: 3 to 6 years, 7 to 9 years and 10 to 12 years. Entry forms are available from the schools and the closing date for the competition is September 4.

The five short listed stories will be forwarded for final judging by the Festival Patron, Mrs Karen Viggers and the winners are to be announced in the Monaro Regional Library in Cooma on October 10.

Prizes will be awarded. One prize will be

three return seats flying with Qantas between Canberra/Brisbane, and to be used within six months of presentation.

The Snowy Mountains Readers Writers Festival Committee has two events each year with one focussing on adult literature scheduled for the end of October, and the other targeting children. The children’s event this year is to encourage children to write their own stories rather than reading other people’s tales.

Additional information about the competition can be gained at Jindabyne’s Snowprint Bookshop, and at Fox Tales in Vales Street, Cooma.

Pictured below, author Karen Viggars.

The guest speaker at last Wednesday’s Cooma Rotary meeting was actor Lex Marinos.

Lex is starring in the local production “Ghosts in the Scheme” which will play in Canberra from September 2 -5.

Born in Wagga, the family owning a café there, Lex first fell in love with show business through a visit to the circus. He studied drama at University of NSW and went from there to do movies and plays.

During his life he has always had work and has many prestigious roles to his credit and is grateful for doing a job that he loves doing.

A particularly vibrant time was the seventies when Lex started in the business. There was a renaissance in the Australian film industry as well as television and Triple J had just opened in Sydney.

He worked successfully through to the nineties and

was by that time looking for something else. This was when he heard from the writer, Scott Rankin, who was putting together a show for young people in Burnie who had been in the justice system. Since then, there have been many shows by Big hArt. ‘Ghosts in the Snowy’ is a good example of how people like to tell stories, a basic human need.

These days, while many roles go to younger people, there have been recent occasions when Lex has been made up to look older. This particularly occurred in ‘The Slap’.

Lex has worked in many different aspects of theatre production such as directing and feels he is fortunate to be in a job that he loves.

Everybody’s doing it...

BOMBALA COUNCIL GENERAL MANAGER: Ms Ngaire McCrindle Today Council receives the six monthly performance report against the Delivery Program and Operational Plan. I am pleased to report that the vast majority of targets identified in the Operational Plan for the 2014/15 year have been met and in a number of cases exceeded. Congratulations to all those involved in this impressive outcome. This reinforces our opinion that you do not have to be big to meet the community needs and expectations.

Council’s works program was impacted by the flood event in December 2014. This caused a lot of damage to our roads and the staff are to be congratulated on their efforts to rectify this.

Weather also delayed the completion of some projects but most were achieved during the year. Parks and Gardens did a wonderful job of maintaining the area and I am sure that at times they felt like they were living on their mowers.

Major works were completed on the Monaro Highway, Delegate and Creewah Roads and the Burton Street/ Maybe Street corner. A number of roads were bitumen sealed, including Endeavour Reserve Road and Topping, Warne and Young Streets. Footpath and storm water drainage works were undertaken in Delegate and Bombala, and all targets for water and sewer in Delegate and Bombala were met. This season the control of noxious weeds was a key focus as they prolifically grew with the wet weather.

Council continued to provide a range of community services, primarily to our older community members. Changes in funding were expected which would have reduced our services however we have secured ongoing funding for the next year to maintain these services. The support groups assisted –Scallywags, Scooter Group, Carers, Tuesday Club and Photography Group- all had excellent results for the year.

A range of community development programs were successfully held and Council assisted community organisations with event delivery and grant writing. The Bundian Way project continues to be well supported and the gallery at Delegate is delivering on its aim of enhancing opportunities for Indigenous artists. Council received grant funding for roadworks, water upgrades, ANZAC Centenary projects and enhancements on the Railway Land. These projects are continuing at present.

We achieved a big increase in overnight stays at the Bombala Caravan Park with the construction of a family cabin, refocusing our advertising and also the hard work of the resident manager Dale Halligan. Overnight stays for the year were up by 583 on the 2013/14 figures.

Of course, all senior Managers spent a great deal of time on the “Fit for the Future” initiative and the Council’s submission to stand alone as a rural council.

Funds for local arts and cultural facilities Organisations in the Monaro are invited to apply for matched funding up to $60,000 for capital works projects that improve local arts and cultural facilities, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro said.

“Applications are open until Friday October 2 for the NSW Government’s Regional Capital funding, which boosts opportunities for regional communities across NSW to engage with arts and culture,” Mr Barilaro said.

“Matched funding up to $60,000 can be used for a range of initiatives including improvements to facilities and venues, new equipment for arts and cultural purposes and preserving museum

collections. Regional Capital funding is provided through the NSW Government’s Arts and Cultural Development Program, which will provide $51 million in support for artists and arts organisations this financial year.”

Deputy Premier and Minister for the Arts, Troy Grant, said the NSW Government is proud to support the State’s thriving regional arts and cultural sector.

“Arts and cultural facilities are the lifeblood of many regional communities, providing opportunities for people to engage with a range of art forms and experience local history,” Mr Grant said.

“Regional NSW is a priority under the Government’s new Create in NSW 10-year policy framework that guides strategy, investment and partnerships to grow a thriving, globally connected arts and cultural sector.”

Mr Grant said 12 regional communities shared in almost $400,000 in the 2015 round of Regional Capital funding.

Applications for 2016 Regional Capital funding are open until Friday October 2.

For more information including details on how to apply, visit www.arts.nsw.gov. au or email arts.funding@arts.nsw.gov.au

Broadcasters campaign to save regional voices Today Australia’s four independent regional television and radio broadcasters – Prime, WIN, Southern Cross Austereo and Imparja – launched a community awareness campaign to highlight the growing risk of cuts to regional television services, including news, information and community support.

The campaign “Save Our Voices” launched on all four networks this week with teaser announcements in prime time and the launch of a website www. saveourvoices.com.au to allow regional and rural communities to learn more and get involved.

The four regional networks want changes to outdated federal media laws that currently leave them chained to the past in a rapidly changing environment, while major metropolitan TV networks and international players like Google and Netflix stream services into regional broadcast areas unrestricted, with unregulated content.

“Make no mistake, local content in regional and rural Australia is at risk unless we get some regulatory change, as has already been demonstrated with the recent closures of local news services in Mildura and Mackay,” said Ian Audsley, CEO of Prime.

“We need to get rid of the rules that prevent us from achieving the scale that’s needed to maintain vital local services. We know many regional and rural MPs want local voices to be heard and it’s time to help them take the message to Canberra that our voices matter, our voices will

be heard and our voices want change,” Audsley said.

Andrew Lancaster, CEO of WIN said: “Regional broadcasters provide a voice for 9 million Australians in regional and rural areas. We are a vital source of local news, information and current affairs and provide an essential community platform for regional Australia’s biggest issues and our unique concerns and perspectives.

“Local news and current affairs are a major cost for regional broadcasters and the only way we can continue to invest in these news services is to be able compete effectively. Our licence areas are now open to anyone who wants to compete with us and we don’t have an issue with that.

But current media laws prevent us from expanding or from merging with others so we can grow and invest in regional communities,” said Lancaster.

Southern Cross Austereo CEO Grant Blackley said: “Regional television and radio employs over 2500 people in regional areas and allows thousands of local businesses to reach their customers. It’s also an essential platform for community organisations and sporting clubs.

“Regional broadcasters plough hundreds of millions of dollars into regional economies each year, broadcast over 180 hours of local news programming each and every week, and provide valuable partnerships for local businesses, as well as sponsorships and donations including tens of millions of dollars in air time that we give away for local community initiatives, campaigns and issues.

“Regional voices are under threat. We’ve also seen cuts to Fairfax regional media operations and across the ABC’s rural network. We think our audiences should know what’s going on and help support their local MP’s to convince Canberra it’s time to change the rules,” said Blackley.

CEO of Imparja, Alistair Feehan said: “In remote areas of Australia we are an absolutely vital provider of local news and current affairs for over a million people living across 3.6 million square kilometres of the Northern Territory, South Australia, Tasmania, Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.

“Whilst we have a broadcast area that encompasses some of the richest developing resource areas in the country, we also provide unique services to some of the most remote and disadvantaged communities in Australia who rely on Imparja for news, sport and entertainment,” Feehan said.

The teaser campaign starting tonight will expand into a fully integrated media campaign from August to December. As well as various television announcements, there will be radio and online dimensions as well as a concerted social media campaign.

Independent community research has been commissioned and will commence later this month in key marginal federal electorates.

“Regional television and radio gives regional and rural Australia a voice, and is an essential alternative to the ABC. These voices are at risk and it’s time they are heard in Canberra,” said Ian Audsley.

Bombala students become the teachers Getting a grasp on how to use a mobile phone can be pretty challenging for seniors, so who better to teach them than our tech savvy youth?

Last Wednesday Bombala High School’s Links to Learning class visited the Bombala Contact Centre to break down the generation gap with technology. Joining the seniors group for morning tea, the students were then paired up with the participants to show them tips and tricks for how to use their mobile phones.

It was a valuable experience for both the students and the seniors. Many comments that were heard around the room included “I don’t turn mine on because I don’t know how to use it” and “Mine is still in the box in the drawer”. However they were soon followed by “I didn’t know my phone could do that”, “I just learnt how to send a text” and “Now I know how to turn my torch on”.

Links to Learning facilitator Debbie Thomas said that she was very proud of the students who were wonderful ambassadors for Bombala High School. “The partnership was so successful that we are thinking of holding another lesson and opening it to the

general public,” says Debbie.

The visit was organised with the Contact Centre’s activities coordinator Cynthia Dolan who visited the students in July to discuss the idea and the benefits of the exercise.

Having thoroughly enjoyed the activity, the students are looking forward to being involved in more community projects.

The Links to Learning program is run every Wednesday at Bombala High School. The program aims to enhance the development of students’ self-esteem, Brett at the Bombala Contact Centre last Wednesday. confidence and resilience, improve their ability to manage themselves and their relationships with others, help them develop a sense of purpose and aspirations for their future. This term the focus for the students has been thinking outside the box, building resilience, r e s p e c t f u l relationships, exploring culture, communication in the workplace and Eythan showing these ladies how to check their messages. employability.

Masterchefs of the future impress with hamburger challenge

The sweet hamburger made by Ben and Ethan.

Left: Ethan (left) and Ben with their sweet hamburger.

Watch out Heston Blumenthal.

Jindabyne Central School (JCS) students are following in the famous chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footsteps by creating food that pushes the traditional boundaries.

Year Eight JCS students Ben Taylor and Ethan Carter were given a brief from their food technology teacher to design a hamburger for less than $3 that was so delicious they would be sure to have repeat customers.

The hamburger also had to be nutritious

and could be sold for at least 40 per cent more than the cost of making it, ensuring there was room for a profit. It also had to be unique.

Ben and Ethan designed a banana bread hamburger with a chocolate patty, fresh fruit and ricotta cheese - topped off with drizzled chocolate.

They had a 50 minute period to produce their burger so Ben and Ethan did some preparation at home, baking the banana bread and making the chocolate patty.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came up with food we thought would be healthy and tried to substitute stuff you would see on a regular hamburger,â&#x20AC;? Ben said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we used strawberries instead of tomatoes, green apple instead of lettuce and made a patty out of chocolate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then we thought we should add some decoration on top so we got sweet ricotta cheese and we spread that on top to keep everything in place and then we grated some chocolate all over.â&#x20AC;?

The boys plated up their sweet hamburger

with blueberries, chocolate sauce, white chocolate buds and made a chocolate detail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was delicious,â&#x20AC;? Ben said, before admitting it was perhaps a little sickly sweet to eat in one sitting.

Their teacher Linda Millington was impressed with the final product and their substitutions made to mimic savoury hamburger ingredients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All agreed it would be on the menu as a great attraction for the Hamburger Shop,â&#x20AC;? said Mrs Millington.

the

postman calls

With the 49th anniversary of Long Tan Day comes revelations that some senior officers were not the brave souls they professed to be.

A new book launched yesterday details how 12 soldiers were overlooked for medals, while other, possibly less deserving, did receive a gong.

The book should be a good read and was written by the person who nominated the awards, Harry Smith, who commanded Delta Company 6RAR. Now there’s an odd thing. The Postman heard this week of how a couple, asleep in their Sydney bedroom, were joined in bed by a naked man.

Apparently the lady of the house awoke to find an extra body in the bed and then had to wake her partner to make him aware of the fact.

The Postman can hear the nodding of the heads of his female readers as they ponder this information.

Apparently the intruder was taken to hospital for assessment for a drug issue. But geez, the other bloke must be a pretty sound sleeper…

Riposte Lisa Ashurst With all the promos popping up to advertise each week’s episodes of The Bachelor I almost feel like I have actually been watching the program myself, even though I haven’t. I’m not a big fan of reality TV but I’m sure, thanks to all the ads, that I know nearly as much about the show as those who have been avidly watching and what I don’t know, well, I can probably figure out for myself. But to be fair, I sat through an episode before writing this.

Anyway, the guy seems nice enough and actually the girls seem nice too.

The girls are also attractive but the show just raises a lot of questions for me. For instance, how is it that those who say they are just so busy that they can’t seem to find the time to meet someone out in the real world can take time out from their whole lives to appear in a TV show? Where they are holed up in a very nice house, swan around in evening dress drinking cocktails and go on the kind of dates the average person probably couldn’t afford and all with a television camera recording their every word and move?

And let’s face it, if he’s the only guy within coo-ee, isn’t he going to look pretty good regardless? It’s a sure fire guarantee the girls are going to feel a growing attachment fairly quickly but hey, he’s on his best behaviour, right? And so are they I guess. But nothing can really develop naturally here because it’s mostly engineered to appeal to television viewers and hopefully grab some ratings. Also ask yourselves this, if the guy has also had trouble meeting someone in the real

world, why is that? I think he’s having a good time on the program though. I mean, what guy wouldn’t!

But what happens if he doesn’t feel that magical spark of possible/hopeful romance and permanence with any of the girls, come the end of the show?

Is he allowed to choose none of them?

How could any of them, the guy or the girls, form a genuine attachment in a limited timeframe in such an artificial environment? Why would anyone in their right mind put themselves into a show like that? And for that matter, who comes up with this kind of reality tripe anyway???

On the other hand, if media exposure, celebrity-ship or a future in television or radio is what they’re after then reality TV is a hot vehicle and there are a number of reality show contestants out there who have walked into fairly lucrative media careers with nothing much to recommend them, as opposed to those with genuine talent who have had to come up the hard way. The real talent often gets passed over in favour of reality TV wannabes so yeah, hot vehicle for that.

Meanwhile, having sat through one episode of The Bachelor I’m fairly certain I won’t be watching any more of it because it just seems so pointless. Yes I know it’s all about guy meeting (many) girl(s) in the hope of finding True Love but does it really warrant an hour of television? Well if one of them lands the guy I guess someone will think so.

Then there’s the shot at celebrity, so yeah...I guess...

Bush Basics has relocated into larger premises

Cooma’s iconic Bush Basics store has moved to new, larger premises.

The business has moved into the Taffa building, two doors up from its present location and officially opened on Monday, August 17.

The move has given Jodi Jardine and her staff more room to move and more room for an expanded range of merchandise.

The building is one of the most recognisable retail outlets in Cooma.

It has undergone an internal makeover to further develop Bush Basics’ unique atmosphere. The new premises will allow Jodi to stock more of the favourite brands she now offers.

There is a dedicated hat and boot area, children’s wear, ladies wear and men’s wear.

Bush basics will continue to offer Thomas Cook, Slade, Black Pepper, Wrangler, Giovanni and Ariat products.

With three purpose-built dressing rooms available, selecting the right outfit has never been easier.

The saddlery department is conveniently located at the rear of the store.

With a rear access from public parking, it is also suited for horse people to be able to pick up bulky purchases and load them into their vehicle from the back of the shop.

Jodi will expand this section as demand dictates.

There is an extended gift ware range, with plenty of cute and cuddly items for kids of all ages.

There is disabled access at the front of the store and the front doors will be kept open except on the bleakest Cooma days.

Pictured, inside the new store and Jodi and Dave Jardine with sales assistant Leanne Mackay.

The State Palace is visited by many, quite plain on the fresh from the farm. Leaving Augustow we drive through outside but opulent inside. 30% of the contents inside have the Poland Forest with hundred foot high trees but with quite been returned by people who ‘found’ them in their sheds. narrow girths.

4,000 lakes are scattered throughout Poland and some Others have been donations including a black box from Australia in recognition of Kosciuszko and there followed a of the streams we have crossed appear to be quite fast flowing. They love the summer months when they can go to discussion on the correct pronunciation.

A few others visited the Uprising Museum which depicted the beach, have fun, eat a meal and possibly even sleep the the history of Poland. The city colours are red and yellow so night.

We arrive at Vilnius our stay for the next two nights. Our government buses and trams running throughout the city are hotel is located in the city square which is great for us but all painted red and yellow.

Poland is the second highest producer of apples in the the poor driver having to navigate the narrow streets with cars parked.

Tim is often passing out information and today he has given us maps showing the border changes. I thought the argument over borders was a recent happening but it has been going on for over 95 years.

Another tour of the city, starting by bus and driving around the outskirts of the city, visiting St Peter and St Paul, a Roman Catholic Church. This was a church with a difference I have become used to seeing rich colours and opulence in European Churches but this one was mostly white inside with its 2,000 stucco figures and is considered a masterpiece of Lithuanian Baroque. Viewing the city from a lookout and then being dropped off and walking through the 16th Century Gate of Dawn and once again walking the cobblestone streets.

An amber museum is visited, to view the small insects and plants trapped in these pieces of resin is rather amazing. Vilnius is well known for its linen and many purchases were made. The open air restaurants are surrounded by masses of vibrant flowers and then surprisingly many seats have a blanket supplied for the customer. It seems strange to see people eating outside but wrapped up in a blanket.

In the afternoon we visit Trakai Island Castle located in Lake Galve. Construction commenced in the 14th Century. Trakai was one of the main centres of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the castle held great strategic importance. Most of this castle

has been renovated and the new work has been very well blended in with the old.

I was sitting along the lake front watching some workers and what a surprise when I see two holding the electric lead out of the water while the third cuts bolts off with a grinder.

Later another worker was using a nail gun and the lead was just floating in the water - no workplace issues here!

Tuesday arrives and we leave Vilnius for Riga. Along the road are vibrant red poppies. Painted on the road we notice sweeping arrows and eventually realise these are there to advise drivers to get back on their side of the road, either an intersection or road barrier is ahead.

Our first stop is at the Hill of Crosses. The exact origin of leaving crosses on the hill is uncertain but it is believed that the first crosses appeared after the 1831 Uprising. There are now hundreds of thousands of crosses in all shapes and sizes and hundreds of rosary beads. No maintenance is carried out so if your cross falls over it will eventually rot away. Eerie hymns were being played in another language.

A walkway under the road has been constructed to allow for safe and easy access for tourists.

Our next stop is at Rundale Palace Museum and Gardens.

Lunch was enjoyed in the gardens although unfortunately we were too early for the masses of roses - 20,000 plants of 3,000 varieties. The Baroque palace took 32 years to build and was one of the two major palaces built for the Dukes of Courland. The Palace has been used for several purposes including hospital and school with gymnasium inside (imagine the damage that was done). The Palace and gardens are one of the major tourist destinations in Latvia.

We arrive in Riga and enjoy a walk through the park, where bikes have right of way, and into part of the old city. Riga has a population of approximately 800,000. We walked to our restaurant for tea tonight and I would rate it one of the best meals so far.

There are two types of Russians living in Latvia, the preferred ones who have assimilated into the community and accept Latvian ways. The other group have had no desire to learn any other language other than their native Russian and still believe Russia owns Latvia. It makes for a bit of dissention.

A bit of tree lopping is happening in the park as we enter Riga, just stand on top of the vehicle, hold the chainsaw above your head and hope for the best!

A walking tour around the city area is a must in the morning. Apparently a lot of renovation work has been carried out in the last 10 years which is great to see. In the country it was pointed out there are no guttering on houses owing to the amount of rain and severe winter temperatures.

In the city areas the downpipes are there but to protect electrical cables. Government owned units are rented out for the same price whether they are in outlying suburbs or inner city areas.

Walking back from our evening meal we were wondering what this very loud noise was and looking around we discovered a taxi driving past at quite a pace and with a very flat tyre. Did he not know because of the cobble stone road or did he just not care.

Continued next week.

Team Fortitude continues Glebeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hidden Secret to grow Kristy Nicholls has welcomed another member to the Fortitude Physiotherapy team. Joining Fiona, Kristy and her mum Maree is newcomer Lara Hansford.

Specialising in occupational health, dry needling and sports physiotherapy, Lara is a valuable addition to the Fortitude team. She says she has always wanted to be a physiotherapist and since graduating from university in Townsville three years ago, she has really enjoyed the experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think what I enjoy most about it is just helping people,â&#x20AC;? she says.

Being a keen skier, Lara moved to Cooma three years ago from Byron Bay to be closer to the snow.

When sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not working or hitting the slopes, Lara is kept busy in her role as President of the Cooma Netball Association. Having been part of the club for the last three years, Lara took up the role of President this year and is passionate about expanding it for the community.

Lara will be available for appointments on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Wednesday evenings until 7.30pm.

Fiona is in on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays and Kristy is available on Mondays and Wednesdays and is in Bombala on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Pilates classes have started and due to popularity, new classes will be added including ante and post natal. Kristy has also started up some corporate Pilates classes. What better to keep everyone in the office fit and happy than having Fortitude Physio come to you for a quick energising Pilates session?

For more information and to make a booking, call the girls on 6452 7782 or check out their website at www.fortitudephysiotherapy.com.

You can also come along to Fortitudeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open day on Sunday 30 August from 10:30am at their shop on Sharp Street next to Video Ezy. There will be different stalls set up to demonstrate what treatments the girls offer and information on everything they do.

Come and get that niggling pain dealt with

by Maree, Fi, Kristy and Lara at Fortitude Physiotherapy on Sharp St, Cooma.

The preconceived ideas of a boarding school with strict supervisors, unpalatable or boring food and inflexible rules and routines donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stack up at â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Scholsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. A Year 9 student who joined us this year writes â&#x20AC;&#x153;there is nothing here that meets those ideas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the food is great... there are lots of activities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; swimming in the mornings, many sports, weekend outings and night drives â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all of which bring the community together. I have been so fortunate to be welcomed into such an amazing community and I am glad to call this my home for the next three years of my life.â&#x20AC;?

While richly stimulating, boarding inevitably involves a temporary sense of loss â&#x20AC;&#x201C; of family, the familiar and a sense of place. A current Year 12 student from the Monaro is maintaining her strong connection with home through her Design and Technology major work. She is designing a dress out of wool pack and merino fibres, both to promote her family property, Fairview, and to educate us about the many and varied uses of wool. Such projects help assuage that sense of homesickness and this, in turn, makes our boarders appreciate home while broadening their experiences. School experiences offered by the College include a visit to the Philippines on an alternative schooliesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; trip and a cultural immersion to Santa Teresa in the Northern territory. These allow the students to broaden their horizons and enhance confidence in their own ability to plan an exciting future and have a real sense of other and their place in this world as responsible global citizens.

St Scholasticaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Boarding College has much to celebrate with the successes of the 2014 HSC graduates. Two music students were nominated for Encore and each student achieved her university placement of choice; ranging from Music, Law and Psychology at Melbourne University while others elected to stay in Sydney, at either

UTS or Sydney University, to study Communications, Medical Science and Sports Health. Some deferred their tertiary studies for a gap year. A number of our students represented NSW in both AFL and Dragon Boating in the Nationals with one student heading off to Canada with the Australian Junior team. All recognise and acknowledge that both the experience of boarding and the supportive staff provided the foundation for these successes.

St Scholasticaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Boarding College offers students its own very beautiful and peaceful landscape. It is a rich and diverse community in which the students, their parents and the staff who care for them, all play a unique and vital role in living out the Benedictine values of the College. Students are offered a very wide range of academic, music, drama, sporting and cultural opportunities at â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Scholsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, allowing each student to discover her own niche, develop her talents and gifts and explore possible future paths.

If you are interested in finding out more about this boarding community come along to our Open Day which will be held in March 2016 (check our website for details). There is much to see and experience. All the boarders, the staff and many of their parents will be there to answer your questions. We will be visiting Nimmitabel on Friday 4th September, we will be at the Nimmitabel Country Club, cnr Boyd and Bentley Streets, between 6:30pm and 7:30pm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; come and have a chat about boarding at St Scholasticaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with ex-students, current students, parents and staff, we would love to meet you. We will also be in Murrumbateman on October 16/17.

For details of these events contact Diane Anderson via email: danderson@ scholastica.nsw.edu.au or phone (02) 9660 0342. Alternatively if you are unable to visit us please check out our website www.scholastica.nsw.edu.au and then make an appointment to visit the College.

Cooma RSPCA Cooma branch members were out in force on Monday to promote RSPCA Cupcake Day. The volunteers held a stall outside the Service One Bank in Sharp Street Cooma.

RNs essential in aged care staff mix The NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association (NSWNMA) today appeared at the first public hearing of an Upper House inquiry into the role of registered nurses in aged care facilities across the state.

General Secretary of the NSWNMA, Brett Holmes, outlined how essential registered nurses are to ensuring quality of care for high or complex-level residents in aged care settings.

“It is imperative that staffing in aged care settings adequately meet the needs of residents and is of a high skill-mix to deliver the care required, anything less would be an abrogation of our nursing responsibility, as advocates for safe patient care,” Mr Holmes said.

“The current law stipulates that nursing homes with high-care residents throughout NSW must have a minimum of one registered nurse on duty at all times and a director of nursing appointed.

“The intention of this minimum requirement was to ensure a high quality of aged care. If the requirement goes, it will open the door for aged care providers to self-regulate staffing, which could result in the

removal of registered nurses entirely from shifts.

“We have spoken to thousands of aged care nurses and community members with relatives in aged care – we know what is at stake, if the responsibility were to rest entirely on the aged care providers.”

The NSWNMA has been calling on the NSW Government to preserve registered nurses in aged care facilities with high-care residents, after changes to the Commonwealth Aged Care Act 1997 (effective from 1 July 2014) impacted upon definitions within the NSW Public Health Act 2010.

In June 2014, the NSW Government introduced an interim measure to maintain the current requirement until it conducted consultations with the sector via a Steering Committee.

A final decision, which rests with the NSW Minister for Health, is due to be made before the end of the year.

Mr Holmes rejected the argument by aged care providers for removing the minimum requirement to allow them ‘flexibility of staffing’, as well as the claim that there are not enough registered nurses to fill positions across the aged care sector.

“Aged care providers

who want more ‘flexibility’ say the current requirement is too limiting, when in fact it’s only a minimum – one registered nurse per shift in high-care settings,” Mr Holmes said.

“Of course, good providers out there will continue to roster a registered nurse on 24 hours a day, seven days a week because they accept the responsibility of running a sound service.

“We have a moral obligation to make sure decisions to place our elderly in residential aged care facilities are supported by legislation which ensures access to sufficient numbers of registered nurses and appropriately trained and regulated care workers to meet the assessed needs of those elderly residents.”

On June 24, the NSWNMA submitted more than 10,000 signatures on a petition which called on the NSW Government to retain the legislative requirement for registered nurses and the associated requirements for directors in nursing.

The NSWNMA has vowed to continue lobbying on behalf of registered nurses, enrolled nurses and assistants in nursing in the aged care sector, to ensure residents receive the highest quality care.

NEWS Government recall for Samsung A Government recall had been issued to Samsung regarding six top loader washing machine models, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro said.

The machines, of which more than 144,000 were sold nationally between 2010 and 2013, have been found to pose a fire risk.

Mr Barilaro said that it was imperative that consumers across the Monaro are aware of the potential dangers associated with the affected model machines.

“I want to make this very clear. Don’t wait until it is too late. It is time for consumers to take action. If you have a Samsung washing machine, now is the time to check to see if you are affected”, Mr Barilaro said.

“If you do have an affected machine, it should only be used if you are able to monitor it. If you notice smoke or odd smells coming out of the machine - turn it off at the power point immediately. While there has been a voluntary recall in place since 2013, both the NSW Government and Samsung remain concerned by the number of consumers that have not taken part in the recall to date.

“To prevent further incidents occurring, it is essential that anyone who has one of these machines

contact Samsung and organise to have it repaired. Under the terms of the Government re“The previous ‘voluntary’ recall may have led residents across to think it was optional to take part. I want to stress how important it is for affected consumers to take action now and have their washing machine inspected and repaired,” Mr Barilaro said.

“Machines that are yet to be inspected by Samsung pose a fire risk as moisture may penetrate electrical connectors within one area of the machine causing a fire hazard.

Model name and number details can be found on the back of the washing machine.”

The affected model numbers are: • SW75V9WIP/XSA • SW65V9WIP/XSA • SW80SPWIP/XSA • WA85GWGIP/XSA • SW70SPWIP/XSA • WA85GWWIP/XSA If people are uncertain whether their machine is one of those in the recall they should contact Samsung for assistance. Free inspections of affected machines can be arranged by calling Samsung on 1800 239 655 or by visiting www.samsung.com.au/ washingmachinerecall.

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

HOLIDAYS! To give everyone a heads up, I am going to be on leave in September for around 3 weeks, so if you have been thinking of meeting up for a chat, now is the time to call!

INVESTMENT MARKET CHANGES There has been a lot of changes in the market recently, with Lenders aiming to manage their investment loan levels.

This has resulted in a lot of policy changes by the Lenders, with some increasing rates on investment property loans, some reducing the loan ratio (meaning you need to have a higher deposit),and some making changes to the interest only option.

If you are looking at getting into the investment property market, it is now more important than ever to talk to someone who is aware of these changes, and give you guidance on which Lender is going to be the best fit for your circumstance.

If you are looking at buying a property, whether as an investment, or as an owner occupied residence, I can help you look at all your options.

If you are unsure if investing in property is right for you at this time, I can also arrange an obligation free meeting with Damian Toms, senior financial planner. He can offer advice on other investment options, as well as a range of other financial planning solutions.

Whatever your lending needs, give me a call. If I am unable to help you directly (particularly with business finance), I have access to other channels that could help you get a good deal.

Call me now to arrange an appointment, on mobile: 0431 351 873

Cooma Public and Cooma North debating for the first time Zone school debating took place over the last two weeks with Cooma Public, Cooma North Public and Jerrabomberra Public year 5/6 students all competing.

This is the first time these schools have participated in the event, the final of which was held in Jerrabomberra on Friday.

Putting their skills to the test, the students are given the topics only minutes before the debate begins.

With three speakers on each side, they are given four minutes to present their arguments and address points made by the other team in their rebuttals.

Jerrabomberra had a very successful day in the first round, winning all three debates.

Adjudicator Elizabeth Dee said that the competition was extremely close, and that the third and final debate between Jerrabomberra and Cooma Public could have gone either way.

It that particular debate the topic was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;primary school children should be banned from using the internetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Jerrabomberra were arguing for the affirmative and presented points on the risk of cyber bullying, the potential inaccuracy of information found on

the internet and the possibility of internet addiction, causing kids to spend less time outside and less time with friends and family.

Cooma Public were the negative side and presented arguments including the need for the internet to work on school projects, the convenience of emailing and in rebuttal to the cyber bullying argument, stated that it could either be reported or ignored.

Other topics included â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;homework should be banned for primary school studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;all teachers and parents should play a weekend sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Round two saw Cooma Public and Cooma North face each other last Wednesday, with Cooma Publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debating team with debate facilitator Liz Dwyer.

Cooma North coming out on top after a tough debate on whether competition. Cooma Publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s year parents should be banned from drinking alcohol in front of their 5/6 teacher and debate facilitator children. One of their most amusing Liz Dwyer said that although arguments being that most adults the Cooma teams did not make would choose to simply not have it through, she was extremely children if it meant giving up impressed with their efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They all showed tremendous growth drinking.

The final round of debate on over a short period of time and we Friday was won by Jerrabomberra are looking forward to competing Public who will go on to Batemans again next year,â&#x20AC;? said Mrs Dwyer.

Cooma North celebrated a win in the second round of debating at Cooma Public School last Wednesday.

The Jerrabomberra Public team after winning all three of their debates against Cooma Public and Cooma North in round one.

Another open day for Lake Wallace Cooma-Monaro Shire Council is planning another open day at Lake Wallace, south of Nimmitabel, to show the progress being made on Nimmitabelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water supply.

The damâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footprint in now very apparent and has been signed off on by the NSW Department of Water.

A temporary coffer dam has been constructed to keep the work site dry and fresh water is flowing through pipes from that dam back down into Pigring Creek.

The open day will be held on Saturday September 5, from 10am until 12.30pm.

Pictured is an aerial view of the lake.

At the top are the site offices.

Running directly in front of those offices is the backbone of the dam.

The coffer dam is pictured to the left of the photo and the black and grey pipes feeding the creek from that dam are obvious, left front.

SRSC weeds grant funding success The NSW Government’s Public Reserve Management Fund (PRMF) provides vital financial support for the development, maintenance and improvement of public reserves on a competitive application basis.

In the 2015-16 round, Snowy River Shire Council submitted 8 separate applications seeking grant support for noxious weed control activities on vacant crown land within the Shire.

This year’s funding process was extremely competitive having more than 740 applications received, with a total value of over 500% of the available funds. Council is delighted that all 8 of our noxious weed related projects were successful in gaining grant funding.

The total funding secured is $47 874 and the individual project funding being: • $15,600 Reserve # 96111 Old Adaminaby

New trends research predictions for ag New research released in Canberra from the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC) and CSIRO highlights five key megatrends that will significantly impact the future of Australian agriculture in the next 15 to 20 years. These megatrends are 1. A hungrier world: by 2050, there will be 70 per cent or 2.3 to 2.4 billion more people on earth, who will need 60 to 70 per cent more food than what’s currently available.

2. A wealthier world: increasingly wealthier consumers in developing economies will drive demand for more and diverse foods. In Asia alone, with over 1 billion people expected to move out of poverty as average incomes rise from US$12,000 to US$44,000 per person by 2060, beef consumption is predicted to rise 120 per cent, while dairy consumption will double by 2050.

3. Fussier customers: empowered by information, the consumers of 2050 are likely to expect food to be nothing less than healthy, nutritional, clean, green and ethically produced.

4. Transformative technologies: advanced digital, genetic and materials science technologies will enable farmers to improve how they produce food and fibre products, while innovative sensory systems and data analytics will create highly integrated ‘farm to fork’ supply chains. Farmers will be able to make better decisions and manage risk more effectively, while consumers will have greater access to trace the origins of their food, putting production methods under the spotlight.

5. Bumpier ride: Australian rural industries can expect a changed risk profile, which will call for new and deeper levels of resilience to withstand shocks associated with climate change, environmental change and globalisation.

Through its National Rural Issues program, RIRDC, in partnership with CSIRO, undertook this ‘big-picture’ research to help Australia’s agricultural sector anticipate and proactively plan for change. It details the megatrends implications, opportunities and challenges for Australian farmers.

“Research of this scale and foresight is critical to ensuring Australia’s agricultural sector maintains and grows its vibrancy, sustainability and competitiveness,” said Craig Burns, RIRDC’s Managing Director.

“While the projected increases in global demand for food could be perceived as an insurmountable challenge, our farmers, who supply 93 per cent of our domestic food needs and are highly

export oriented, are renowned for their capacity to adapt, innovate, achieve productivity gains despite declining terms of trade, and respond strongly to risks. They are well-placed to address and capitalise on these megatrends.

“The research reinforces that the predicted wealthier and choosier Asian consumer of 2035 represents a key opportunity for Australian farmers to drive new markets in that region, underpinned by the need for ongoing research and development to ensure future farming systems improve productivity. However we need to be smart and be on the front foot as we are not the only one with our eyes on these opportunities.”

Stefan Hajkowicz, Principal Scientist in Strategy and Foresight at CSIRO, who co-led the research, agreed the megatrends insights pointed to a bright future for Australian agriculture.

“Overall conditions are set for strong demand growth in food and fibre products across Asia along with opportunities for diversification as diets within the region become increasingly westernised,” said Mr Hajkowicz.

“The ‘where did my food come from?’ factor will be a big deal for future food consumers. Establishing provenance, quality and safety will allow us to fetch market premiums. And, there’s nothing low-tech about Australian agriculture. It is high tech and well placed to go super high tech.”

How can Australian agriculture become more competitive?

Complementing the megatrends insights, another area of research to be released today considers new tools to measure and influence Australian farm competitiveness in the global marketplace.

Undertaken by the Australian Farm Institute, this research investigated the potential for the development of a competitiveness indicator or index as a decision-making tool to enhance agricultural competitiveness.

While the research highlighted a number of limitations in developing such an index, including the lack of robust, internationally-comparable agriculture sector statistical data, it found that a ‘dashboard’ of indicators of national agricultural competitiveness could be achievable.

“A case study using the dashboard to compare the agricultural competitiveness of Australia and the USA illustrated that this tool provides a more useful approach, but only to the extent of providing a starting point for further analysis,” explained Mick Keogh, Executive Director of the Australian Farm Institute.

Schute Bell wool report Fresh food industry unites on

workforce sustainability The National Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation (NFF) and the Produce Marketing Association Australia-New Zealand (PMA A-NZ) have today jointly hosted an industry forum to discuss the importance of overseas workers to Australian agriculture.

The forum was held in Canberra and attended by key stakeholders across the fresh food supply chain, including farmer representative groups, retailers, unions, overseas workers, academics, recruitment services providers, social welfare organisations, government and political representatives.

NFF General Manager of Workplace Relations and Legal Affairs Sarah McKinnon said the forum represented the beginning of a national conversation on workforce sustainability in the fresh food industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For some time now, we have been working toward a best practice scheme for agricultural employment and labour contracting, to drive the social license of Australian farmers and encourage more people into agricultural employment,â&#x20AC;? Ms McKinnon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today a diverse range of stakeholders and industry leaders came together to listen to each other and engage in a free exchange of ideas.

The small national offering continued to drive the market higher with AWEX reporting this week as being smallest national three centre offering in four years. 9,000 fewer bales were offered compared to the first forecast. All micron categories surged on opening and continued to strengthen as the first day progressed. Price rises were more muted on the final day with small gains made. The Eastern Market Indicator closed the week above 1300 cents for just the fifth time in the past four years and is 5.5% below its high point during this time which was reached in early June.

28,194 bales were sold nationally for the week with the passed in rate almost non-existent at 1.1% The spread of the buying pattern

remains robust with Techwool, Fox & Lillie and Global Wool Export rounding out the top three. The forward market witnessed a flurry of activity this week with trades being executed as far out as December 2016, albeit at a significant discount to the close of this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical.

All eyes remain on China who devalued their currency several times this week against the US dollar in order to stimulate their exports and hence their economy.

Next Weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sales 31,332 bales are expected to be on offer nationally with 12,562 in Sydney. Schute Bell, Wool Auctions, Goddard & Monaro Wool are selling on Wednesday the 19th of August.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The strong level of participation reflects the level of interest, both among industry and the wider community. We now have an opportunity to develop greater consistency of approach to employment and contractor engagement across the supply chain.â&#x20AC;?

Ms McKinnon said a consistent and coordinated approach to workforce engagement also offers the potential to lift productivity and increase farm gate returns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today reinforced the need to deliver meaningful measures to better protect overseas workers, while ensuring agriculture has a sustainable workforce for the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can always do more to tell the great stories of Australian agriculture, and to adopt strategies to help insulate us from the damage caused when rogue contractors hit the spotlight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today there was an enormous level of goodwill in the room. We are grateful to all of those who came to the forum and shared their views, and we look forward to an ongoing conversation in the long term interests of Australian agriculture,â&#x20AC;? Ms McKinnon said.

Post-2020 Emissions Reduction Target: Statement The Federal Government has released its proposed post-2020 emissions reduction target to take to the United Nations Climate Change Conference to be held in Paris this December.

The Australian agricultural sector recognises the importance of the issue and is actively taking steps across a range of commodities to help reduce emissions.

Meeting the Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed target will require a consistent policy environment that provides certainty to business and facilitates long-term investment

to see agriculture meet its full potential.

It is important that agriculture and other trade-exposed sectors are not put at a competitive disadvantage through policies designed to achieve such targets.

The National Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation (NFF) worked closely with the taskforce from the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, who were charged with providing advice to Government on measures to achieve these targets.

The NFFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priority was to highlight to Government the

range of opportunities present in the agriculture sector to reduce emissions in a way that aligns with the Direct Action policy.

The NFF is committed to working with Government on the delivery of efficient and effective methods to reduce emissions across farming systems. Such efforts will facilitate increased farmer representation in reduction programs, including the Emissions Reduction Fund.

Covering the eastern Snowy River catchment, Members and local communities are involved in a range of farming ventures, and improvement of local streams and landscapes.

A benefit of being involved in Landcare is the social side of things.

The Groups within the network are made up of local landholders and interested community members. This is one way of combatting the effects of rural decline, by giving people the chance to connect and work together on grassroots issues.

A key part of the Landcare social calendar is the Snowy River Interstate Landcare Dinner, which is being held on 28th August this year.

In addition to a great social outing, there will be

two high calibre speakers at the event. Opening speaker is Norm Smith, NSW Farmers Association 2011 Farmer of the Year. Norm and Pip Smith of Glenwood Merinos will conclude their East Gippsland regional tour with a discussion on their fine wool enterprise at Wellington NSW. The keynote speaker is Dr Carole Hungerford.

Dr Hungerford is an expert in demonstrating the link between personal health, food quality and the health of our soils. As a holistic medical practitioner she teaches doctors and health professionals about nutritional and environmental medicine. Dr Hungerford is a fellow of the Australian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine, and is well known for her award winning book, “Good Health in the 21st Century”.

Places are limited at this event. To make a reservation, please contact Snowy River Interstate Landcare on 02 64584003 or srilc@bigpond.com

Giant leap forward for biosecurity in NSW welcomed by farmers NSW Farmers Association has welcomed the introduction of the Biosecurity Bill (2015) which will establish NSW as the premier state in its efforts to ensure we retain our internationally renowned clean and green image.

Association President Derek Schoen said the Bill represents a giant leap forward for biosecurity in NSW. “Not only will this legislation strengthen our protocols and protection against biosecurity threats, it will also raise community awareness about the importance of protecting our enviable biosecurity status,” he said.

“We particularly welcome the formalisation of the framework of a shared responsibility.

“Agriculture is set to be one of the key pillars of NSW’s economic base over the coming decades; growing the economy, boosting jobs and shoring

up our bottom line. But to fulfil the promise of that economic success we must be more vigilant than ever before of protecting our status as the state that produces the safest food.

“This is NSW leadership at its best and it shows that the potential of agriculture is being supported through legislative action by the government.

“We recognise that lifting the visibility on the importance of biosecurity will be a challenging task, requiring higher levels of community engagement and more extension to farmers to ensure that we all know the importance of biosecurity.

“This essential reform has the full support of the NSW Farmers and we look forward to working with government to ensure that the promise of this new framework can be brought to life across the state,” Mr Schoen concluded.

2016 Rural Women’s award open Minister for Primary Industries, Niall Blair, has today called for applications for the2016 NSW-ACT Rural Industries Research & Development Corporation Rural Women’s Award, celebrating emerging and inspiring women in rural and regional communities.

“Women play an important role in ensuring the survival of many of their communities – and this award is so important in recognising the hard work of these women and all that they do for regional NSW,” Mr Blair said.

“That’s why I am calling on the community to nominate exceptional and highly-skilled women in their field, or encourage them to apply for this unique opportunity.”

The award celebrates up and coming individuals who are motivated to effect change and strengthen outcomes for primary industries.

It also helps applicants work towards achieving their vision for primary industry and in turn make a greater contribution to NSW.

Applications are now open and close on Friday 30 October 2015, with the winner announced at a Gala Dinner in March 2016.

The NSW/ACT winner will receive a bursary of $10,000 and have the opportunity to participate in the RIRDC Australian Institute of Company Directors’ course.

This year’s winner was Cindy Cassidy, CEO of FarmLink Research, a not-for-profit farming systems group based at Temora, providing services to farmers and agribusiness across the region.

Cindy’s RIRDC Award project is improving knowledge that ensures agricultural xtension maximises the use of research and development.

For more information about the award and to enter please download an application form from the NSW RWN website: http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/ rwn/rirdc

Hazeldean Angus offers 90 of its best

Celebrating 150 Years

Spring Bull Sale

Tuesday September 1st Hazeldean, Cooma, NSW 90 Performance Bulls commencing 1pm

Hazeldean Angus will offer 90 Performance bulls at its Annual Spring Bull Sale on Tuesday September 1st. After a bumper season on the Monaro the bulls are in top form. The 2015 Spring Sale Bulls are sired by the Angus breedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top trait-leading sires with emphasis on good structure and temperament, low birthweight and high growth. There are a wide range of bulls to suit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including low birth bulls for use over heifers and high growth bulls with excellent carcase. Sires include GAR Prophet, Docklands, Broken Bow, Sitz Jackson 431T, Ten X, HAAS GPS, Rito 9M25, Riot 7065, SAV Thunderbird, Ardrossan Equator, Dunoon Evident, Tuwharetoa E151, Hazeldean Flair, Deliver, Lawsons Tank and Invincible, Berkley, as well as top performing Hazeldean sires.

Stud principal Jim Litchfield said he was very positive about the prospects for the beef industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cattle market is like any other market where the laws of supply and demand prevail. The added â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;xâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; factor in the cattle market is the weather. This has had a profound impact over the past 3 years with the ongoing drought in many parts of the country,

particularly Queensland, ensuring a vast increase in slaughter rates and consequently depressed prices.â&#x20AC;?

According to Jim Litchfield the lessening of the drought and reduced supply in addition to growth in demand has seen a turnaround â&#x20AC;&#x153;The demand for beef and live animals is very strong and I am confident we are entering an era where all parties will do very well out of beef for some time to come â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not just one sector of the business profiting or faltering at the whim of mother nature. Certainly we will continue to see rainfall have its impact - that is one of the truths of agriculture â&#x20AC;&#x201C; however we can all look forward to very good times ahead.â&#x20AC;?

Jim said the bulls on offer this Spring reflected the philosophy of Hazeldean where breeding and selection was prioritised to ensure maximum profitability. First and foremost the maximum number of pregnancies, then a live calf, followed by strong growth and finally positive carcase attributes. He said that unless a breeding program was prioritised in this order profitability for the commercial breeder would suffer.

Red Devils U13s Red Devils U14s shock loss to Radford lose to Marist Playing their final game of the season the boys made the trip to Canberra to take on Marist.

The game started well with everybody keen to get to the ruck and some good tackling had the fans hopeful.

The Marist scrum proved very strong and with extra possession started to score points.

Undeterred the Boy’s tried to rally with strong run’s

by Harry Litchfield and Josh Sharkey sparking a good period for Cooma.

Halftime 24-0 Marist’s way.

The second

half saw Marist putting Cooma on the back foot with some early points, their aggression at the breakdown starved Cooma of possession.

The upside was Cooma’s younger players were showing more determination in tackling.

Final score Marist 53 Cooma 0.

The scores throughout the year did not reflect the effort and skill level the players had developed.

As they stay together this side will only move onwards and upwards.

Cooma Red Devils U14s played Radford at home last Saturday and unfortunately recorded a loss for the last game of the season.

Sprains won’t necessarily fix themselves - see your physio “I’ve sprained my ankle. I’ll give it a few days and it will fix itself.”

Well…PERHAPS. If you’ve sprained your ankle, you have stretched or torn your ligaments.

In a normal ankle the ligaments stabilize the joints, preventing uncontrolled movements that will result in damage.

Unlike muscles, ligaments have a poor blood supply and take a long time to heal.

In about 20 percent of cases, that “simple” sprain will lead to chronic ankle pain and instability.

If this remains untreated, serious cartilage damage and even arthritis can occur.

If you sprain your ankle, you should see a physiotherapist!

Physiotherapists are highly qualified to treat your pain and injuries.

A wide range of treatments are available and your physiotherapist is able to select the one that is best suited to your particular case. If a sprain has occurred, they can help you better manage your injury, tailor a program that enables good

quality ligament repair and ensure rapid return of normal muscle and nerve function.

Edward Moore is a local physiotherapist working for Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy with a keen interest in sporting injuries.

Edward has helped many people return to sport and work after ankle sprains. Edward works alongside physiotherapists Eliza Graham and Renee Pirozzi.

The team at Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy can offer you strategies and exercises to prevent future sprains and improve performance.

If you sprain your ankle, stop playing, and commence R.I.C.E.- rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Early presentation to physiotherapy greatly improves your chances of a speedy recovery.

Appointments are available weekdays 8.30am to 6pm at our clinic at Bombala Street Surgery, 62 Bombala Street, Cooma.

Jindabyne Bushpigs 2015 Home Grand Final

Wednesday August 19, 2015

A piece of Bushpigs history The Jindabyne Bushpigs commenced in 1983 over a beer at the Lake Jindabyne Hotel between local builder Harry Cummins who was challenged by a Cooma Electrician Brian Kaufline to start a team to play against Cooma.

Team jumpers were brought in Irish Emerald green colour which is still part of the club colours today.

The Club started in the ACT sub-district competition in 1984.

Grand final wins were in 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 1999, 2006, 2008. The latest grand final was in Jindabyne in 2013 against the Taralga.

There are 14 life members, Harry

Cummins, Ross Field, Mick Swinney, Lochy Thompson, Garry Mugridge, Mick Mugridge, Barry Mugridge, Tommy Granabetter, Murray Johnson, Jimmy Crocker, Ian Graham, Matt Fish, Richard Boys and Steve Carter.

Over the years the club has grown to now contains four very important components they are “Bushpigs” (Seniors), “Piglets” (juniors), “Miss Piggies” (Girls) and “Soreboars” (Golden Oldies).

Each component of the club is vital to the clubs success and any successes feed others. One of the

great features of the club is the willingness of people to help out whether it be senior players at juniors

training or Soreboars assisting the girls with their scrimmaging, it is great to see and part of the culture that makes the club successful.

The Club started with its home at The Banjo Paterson Inn but with the expansion of the club has now moved major sponsors to the Lake Jindabyne Hotel. Over the last 30 years nearly every business in Jindabyne has sponsored the club in some way and many of them continue today.

Who would have thought that 30 years after the original Bushpigs went through undefeated and won their very first premiership this year’s team is on the verge of

repeating history with another home grand final and going through undefeated all year.

The 2013 grand final was one of the biggest events in Jindabyne in years, the crowd and atmosphere were amazing and the Bushpigs certainly rose to the occasion.

Premierships do not win themselves and whilst the Pigs have had their fair share over the years none have ever come easy with a lot of hard work going into every victory.

This year the club is celebrating 32 years of competitive rugby in Jindabyne and it is a great way to finish the year with a home grand final.

One more game, let’s do it!

The 2015 Bushpigsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; season in review The 2015 season kicked off on April 18 in round two following a first round bye.

Boorowa made the trip to Jindabyne and the Bushpigs kicked off the season in fine style winning by 54-0.

Round three the Bushpigs hosted the defending Premiers in the Taralga Tiger and made known their intentions for 2015 with a 53-0 victory.

Round four saw the Pigs again host the runners up in Crookwell and made a statement that they were the team to beat winning 45-17.

Round five gave the Pigs a chance to test their form on the road when they travelled to Bungendore to take on the Mudchooks and confirmed their favoritism in the comp by coming away with a hard fought 33-27 victory.

Round six announced the arrival of the new formatted competition where the Monaro

clubs played against the South Coast clubs. Short of troops the Pigs travelled to Batesman Bay and despite fielding 14 players prevailed 62-21 and cemented top spot on the table.

Round seven was the first of the disappointing forfeits when Bay Reds from the Bay withdrew from the comp.

Round eight the pigs again were forced to miss a game through the forfeit of Broulee starting the period where a lack of rugby would start to impact performance having last played on May 23 and schedule to host Braidwood on June 20, leaving a month without a game.

Round nine the Pigs hosted Braidwood for the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charity round raising funds for the new Banjo Park and put on a display winning 76-0.

Round 10 Jindabyne made the long drive to Milton in the last round of the combined

comp to take on the top 5th coast side on the turf. Despite the injuries and unavailability of players they still managed a 22-13 victory going into the Bye. Round 12 on July 11, with only three games under the belt since May, saw them play a shortened match in Boorowa due referee injury and having to settle with the draw and share the points.

Round 13 did not help the lack of rugby in the legs when the game in Taralga was postponed due to snow on the ground leaving the Pigs with just over four and a half games since round six in May with a tough run home.

Round 14 the Bushpigs travelled to Crookwell with 15 players and despite leading into the second and playing on heart alone, were run down late to go down to the dogs 24-21.

Round 15 the final regular season round,

with still players missing through injury and illness, Jindabyne hosted the second place Chooks from Bungendore and saw the lack of rugby take its toll and were defeated 2822 with a game in hand and a win required to hold onto the minor premiership. Fortunately the Taralga Tigers were unable to meet the commitment to play and the Bushpigs were awarded the win and finished the season as minor premiers by 1 point.

Major Semi. With the new format, the Bushpigs hosted the top south coast team in Milton for a shot at advancing straight to the Grand final and the right to host it.

In a physical encounter the Bushpigs stamped themselves again after a challenging season as premiership favorites by defeating Milton by 43-14 and getting the week off and hosting the 2015 south coast Monaro cup Grand Final on August 22.

The Captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jake Roarty 2015 has possibly been the most difficult season I think any Bushpigs side has faced.

We have struggled to build momentum with a number of byes, forfeits and even a referee tearing a hamstring and having to call the game off. But one thing that has shined through for me is the resolve and commitment of the 22 guys I will lead onto John Conners Oval on Saturday.

We have played games with 13 men and come out on top, been camped on our line for what seemed like eternity and hung on and bounced back from a couple of narrow losses at the end of the season to put in a great performance in the semi final to set up what is sure to be an exciting match in the Grand Final.

The heart that our players have shown cannot be questioned, playing on with injuries as they know we have been short, rearranging work to make sure they can be there for their mates and playing more minutes than they should be.

It has shown me that no matter the personnel in a team, if you have a group of people that are committed to the same thing and are willing to fight for that you can achieve anything. I congratulate the boys on where they have got to so far but we are

still one hurdle away from bringing another premiership back to Jindabyne.

Grand Finals are funny things, in essence itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just another 80 minutes of football, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much more than that and the mental game is whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affected the most.

You have a week leading into it where all anyone on the street wants to talk to you about is the game and â&#x20AC;&#x153;are you going to win?â&#x20AC;?

Many players find themselves skipping ahead to the aftermath or scenarios that could happen in games like big runs or tries they could score.

The night before we will sit down for dinner with legends of this club and reflect on the season and have our final chat together before building up for the next day.

This is a chance to settle the nerves and get the mateship we have built this club on started for the game.

I love seeing men who have gone before us in the green jersey lapping up the atmosphere and offering their advice on what the day will bring and how to go about it.

Guys like Locky Thompson, Rossco Field and Matthew Fish, whose advice is priceless. Many of our team have gone through this, many havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, but all I know is I have seen the heart and commitment this

season to know we can go all the way and win this premiership.

This game isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just for the 22 players and staff however, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for the community. A community which has rallied around us so much this season and especially in the past week.

Last Thursday we were broken into and had over $750 of alcohol and meat stolen.

A small social media post looking for information and advice quickly and unintentionally turned viral with so many people from so many areas of our community rallying behind our little club in the form of generous donations to make up the loss.

This community spirit is exactly why we all play for this club and I would like to take the opportunity to personally thank each and every one of you for your kind gestures. I hope to see you up there on Saturday so myself and the players can thank you in person.

Overall we need to see as many people up there in green as we can this weekend.

You can feel the support when you are out there believe me and it gives the boys such a massive lift. I hope to see you there and hope itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking out with a trophy in our hands. Believe me we will be doing everything we can to make that happen.

A young boy with a big dream SMCS athletics in the Gong Fourteen year-old Bentley Walker-Broose, is a lad with big dreams.

A cross-country skier, Bentley lives and breathes XC skiing and the snow.

He races every weekend in any race he can find, developing his racing technique.

His lifelong dream is to represent his country at the World Cup and to compete in the Winter Olympics as many times as possible and to then become an elite sports coach specialising in XC skiing.

Bentley does not attend school full time in winter - he participates in Snowy Mountains Grammar School’s (SMGS) high performance program which allows him to train on snow each day and do his schoolwork during breaks or on the bus and at school when he can get there.

He works hard to maintain his solid B average despite doing the majority of his work on his own.

Most of his days are 12+ hours long. He catches the bus from Cooma at 5.55am to Jindabyne, where one of the NSWXC coaches accompanies him to the ski tube and on to Perisher.

Depending on the day he will either train all morning and go to lessons at SMGS in the afternoon or he will train all day and then catch a bus at 5pm back to home in Cooma and then do homework - a gruelling schedule that has driven Bentley to hone his time management skills to stay up to date with all his schoolwork and grades.

In summer, Bentley trains continually: running both for fun and competitively; mountain biking several times a week; roller skiing regularly including every Sunday in Canberra; training several times a week with the Cooma swim squad as well as racing with the Cooma swim club every Wednesday.

In January, Bentley, on his own initiative, interviewed and was accepted into a special program to ski and train in the US with the Vail Junior Nordic team through the Australian summer.

Not only did he participate in several Skype interviews to gain acceptance and go through a tough application process, he personally saved up 50 percent of the costs to get there, with family donating frequent flyer points for his flight.

He travelled there completely on his own, staying with a host family for seven weeks.

He competed in many races while in the USA including travelling around the state and interstate for events in locations such as Soldier Hollow, and Durango.

His Nordic Team won the highly chased Colorado Cup. While he was there he had to attend school, so he basically attended school for his summer holidays.

In his rare spare time, he works at local café Beatnik, saving hard to purchase his equipment for winter and towards training overseas during our

Congratulations to all the primary and secondary students who willingly participated to the best of their ability over the two days.

Thank you to all the parents who lovingly transported students to and from the event in Wollongong.

Paddy Pallin Junior Classic summer months.

The hardest part of Bentley’s dream is the cost.

Bentley uses second hand equipment for all his training and for most races and one set of new skis for his skate races, yet he never complains or asks, he simply says he’d better learn to wax really, really well.

Getting overseas is really hard, expensive and lonely yet all he can see is the long-term goal.

When an overseas trip is out of the question, he simply looks a little sad and says “well, I’ll have to roller ski a lot then won’t I, and ask for more shifts at the café.”

With that work ethic and a crystal-clear vision of what he wants to achieve in the future, Bentley Walker-Broose is an extraordinary 14 year-old.

Sporting History: • Currently races in the U16 age bracket in both Classic and Freestyle (skate) XC and competes where he can in the U20 age bracket • 2015 SERAS scholarship with AIS • SMGS High Performance Program (2014/2015) • Swimming: 2013/2014 – 13 year age champion, Cooma Swim Club • Swimming: 2014/2014 – 14 year age champion, Cooma swim club • A selection of 2015 results: - 1st place – ACT Distance Championships freestyle U16 - 2nd place - NSW Open and Junior Classic Sprint Championships U16 - 2nd place – Snowy Mountains Classic – 7.5km race (came 2nd by 0.07 sec against first) - 4th place – Australian Junior Championships – Falls Creek

The Paddy Pallin Junior cross country ski race will be held at 11am on Saturday 5 September 2015 at the Sverre Kaaten Nordic Shelter, Perisher Valley. The race is for children up to 16 years of age (for the 2015 race you must be under 16 years at 31 December 2014).

The Paddy Pallin Junior has been a Perisher Valley event for many years with our records suggesting this is the 57th year. It is the OLDEST cross country ski event in Australia (older than the KAC and older than the Paddy Pallin Classic (now replaced by the Snowy Mountains Classic) – and it’s just for the YOUNGEST skiers.

The Paddy Pallin Junior provides an opportunity for juniors to try cross country skiing. It’s a fun ski race (no prizes for first, second and third) where everyone gets a certificate! You can ski in it if you are only two years old or over fifteen, as long as you were under 16 years at 31 December 2014.

The distance you ski depends on your age and snow conditions. The older skiers (14/15 year olds) ski up to 5 kilometres, while the younger skiers (3/4 year olds) ski only a few hundred metres.

In 2015 the race will be held at the Perisher Valley Nordic Shelter (snow permitting). After the race the usual festivities – fruit drinks and hot dogs and spot prizes – will be held in or around the Nordic Shelter.

When that’s over there’ll be fun and games, including an on skis jelly snake hunt!

Entry is on the day, and there’s no charge. Just turn up to register and pick up your bib at the Nordic Shelter from about ten o’clock on Saturday morning 5th September 2015.

Cooma Colts end season with round of home games South East Embroidery Under 7’s The Colts were at home for their last game of the season against the Queanbeyan Kangaroos and the under 7’s were determined to put on a show for their large turnout of supporters.

The Colts were disciplined in their structure, solid in their defence and precise in their attack, which would have made some NRL teams look like beginners. There were some great attacking runs from Mitchell Fletcher, Rhylee Rosenbaum-Robinson, Cooper Lee, Lachlan Burchall and Lachlan Bryan, which kept the Roos on the back foot.

Every time the Roos tried to hit back, they were stopped dead in their tracks with solid defence from Ari Geach, Othon Morgan, Kyte Lee, Bailey Benn and Jackson Lee. The Colts also put on some spectacular tries with a hat trick to Ari Geach, a double to Othon Morgan and Kyte Lee and a try to Cooper Lee and Jackson Lee for his first try of the season with a show and go that would have put Benji Marshall to shame.

The Colts went out victors over the Kangaroos 36 to 12 to finish up the season.

The McDonalds award went to Mitchell Fletcher, the pizza award to Jackson Lee and the medal to Rhylee Rosenbaum-Robinson.

Snowy River Painting Under 8’s – Black The under 8’s Colts Black took on the Queanbeyan Kangaroos at home for the final round of the season. With the sun shining bright the young Colts were warmed up and ready to go. It wasn’t long before the Colts crossed the line thanks to some brilliant running from Hunter Caldwell.

Lachlan Sky again showed the opposition how quick he was with some length of the field tries. Dempsey Woolf and Jack Dunn worked well together in defence and made some strong runs up the middle. Ayden Palmer and Charlie Payne made some great tackles out wide to prevent the Roos from scoring.

While Wyatt Hurford again made it hard for the opposition to tackle him with some brilliant footwork weaving in and out of the Roos defensive line. Natasha Kelly stole some valuable metres through some quick dummy half runs and Darcy Rudd pulled off some great one on one tackles. The Colts finishing

their season with a great win 48 - 20. Player of the day went to Jack Dunn.

Monaro Constructions Under 8’s – White The under 8s White were primed for a big game to cap off the season but unfortunately the Gungahlin Bulls forfeited. Many thanks to Jett Kelley, Archie Blyton, Ashton Dibley, Conner Nelson, Tyrell Bartlett, Jayden hart, Khian Flanagan, Hunter Caldwell and Bailey Taylor for a great season. Look forward to seeing you all again next year Monaro Panel Beater Under 9’s The U9s Colts took on a big and fast Belconnen United Sharks side for the final game of the season and with the Sharks only losing one game to date it was going to be a tough game. The fellas started the game with plenty of enthusiasm and looked ready to go. Zane Usher-Rodahl led the team out this week and did a great job as captain having some great runs and doing some excellent tackling.

He was backed up by Lucas Umback who has really been working on his defence pulling off some solid tackles and having some top runs. Tommy Rudd had another great game having some big runs and doing some try saving tackles. Charlie Fleming threatened the Sharks line all game, finally managing to cross for a well deserved try. He also pulled off some massive tackles. Jacob Smith was consistent again and was a real handful for the Shark’s defence, scooting out of dummy half and nipping at the big boys heels in defence.

The Colts were going toe to toe with the sharks in the first half and at the start of the second they showed that they were not going to back down. Rhys Cleverly and Lee Morgan had a great pairing in the halves, both boys giving good clean service and taking their opportunites in attack with Rhys scoring two tries for the game and Lee scoring an excellent try, ducking and weaving through the big Sharks’ side. Both boys also held their own in defence. Brendan Rees played well again having some hard straight runs and working well in defence as did Joshy Williams who pulled off some great tackles and gave the Colts some progress in attack when the boys needed it the most. Cameron Filtness had another big game trying to break

the line and putting a lot of pressure on the Sharks with his strong kick and chase game.

He was also menacing in defence but not to be outdone was Clayton Clark who produced back-to-back strong games and once again leading the talk in defence making some great tackles and running hard all game.

Unfortunately the final score was 38- 18 to the Sharks in an entertaining game. The boys left the field with their heads held high after a massive effort and should be proud of themselves and everyone involved with the team looks forward to seeing them next season. Thanks for a great year. Try scores were Rhys Cleverley 2, Lee Morgan 1, Charlie Fleming 1. Conversions Clayton Clarke 1. Awards Player of the week Clayton Clarke, Maccas Award Josh Williams, Pizza Award Lee Morgan, and Hitman Award was shared

by Tommy Rudd, Lucas Umback and Zane UsherRodahl Sports Power Under 10’s The Under 10’s had a comprehensive win over the Queanbeyan Blues, running out victors 50-22. With their main enforcer Jack “Thumper” McPherson sidelined for the rest of the season after a skiing accident, they knew they had to shoulder more responsibility and lift their work rate.

From the kick off they combined well and worked as a unit and drove the Blues back which forced them to kick. Maison Turner returned the ball back from full back, weaving his way through and scored out wide. Good defence from Toby Inskip, Louis Mould and Justin McDonald kept the opposition looking while Cooper Inskip, Azack Morgan and Charlie Wiggins belted it up the middle. At the half time break the Colts led by two converted tries.

The super subs of Jordan Williams and Jackory Hart came on to bolster the ruck and got stuck into it straight away with Jordy scoring a good try. Charlie Paul was very safe in catching a kick and also pitched in with Mitchell Burke with tackling. Flynn Palmer was executing his passes from dummy half and scooting out at the right times. Thomas King scored his first try of the season and by game’s end had scored three. Great effort!

The Colts were good all across the park

and this puts them in good stead for the knock out semi next weekend. Try scorers were, Thomas King-3, Louis Mould-2, Maison Turner-2, Justin McDonald-1, Jordan Williams-1. Best and fairest points, 3 pointsThomas King, 2 points- Maison Turner, 1 Point- Cooper Inskip. Medal- Charlie Paul.

Pizza Award- Mason Turner. CanteenThomas King. Choc- Louie Mould and Cooper Inskip.

Cooma Colts end season with round of home games Continued from page 52...

O MA UNITE D CO

STALLIONS

Highland Ground Spreading Under 11’s Last game of the year for the U11 Colts and we took on Valley Dragons at our home ground. All players were primed to put in a top performance in front of our home crowd and certainly didn’t disappoint. Talon Kelly had a great running game, made a lot of metres out wide, wore a pretty heavy shot but got up and dusted himself off and continued. Jack O’Donnell has made the dummy half position his own in recent weeks, smart play, strong running was unlucky not to get over the stripe. Kayla Fleming was strong in attack and defence again, and produced a perfect kick across field for Shawn Ingham to pounce on and plant in the corner for a welldeserved try, after his great defensive work. River Wilkinson was outstanding in defence, cutting down every player that came his way, and ran with a lot of strength and determination. Cody Clarke and Jack Newson also cut down everyone that came their way, both played very strongly out wide. Ryan Monday found himself in the thick of it, pouncing on loose balls and putting his shoulder to make good contact in defence. James Bannon reaped the benefits of playing a little wider, with more room to move he streaked away for 3 great tries. Barrett Bannon switched from wider back into dummy half and produced some much needed runs through the middle. Tirone Morgan hit the second half with plenty of vigour, aiming up to their big boys and kicked one of the best goals you’ll see. Lachlan Hemphill is one of the underestimated players, quietly going about making heaps of tackles and jinking runs, scoring a great try. Kristian Zusak found his feet and confidence after long layoff, defending strongly and scored 2 tries, while Aron Umback is one of our big improvers, knows his role and does it with plenty of confidence in his attack and defence, getting up quickly pressuring the opposition as we’ve trained. Unfortunately Sam Williams and Jake Maddrell were unable to play. Final Score Cooma 40 Dragons 16 3pts James 2pts Kayla 1pt Talon.

Player of the Week Shawn. Pizza Award Lach. Canteen Award Jack OMA UNITED CO Newson Big thanks to everyone again for all their support during the year.

Mainstreet Under 12’s FILLIES The 12U Cooma Colts hosted the competition leaders who were not going to go down without a fight.

Lachlan Brill and Tynan McKenzie showed great spirit, running hard and tackling the big beefy Queanbeyan Roos.

Adam Constance and Alex Aitkenhead both charged at the attackers, managing to put down the bigger boys. Both made some great darting runs. Jayden Donald Smith and Lachlan McGufficke both ran strongly. Jayden doing the hard yards up the middle and Lachie stepping and weaving. Lachie remained as cool as a cucumber under the aggressive play of the opposition. Travis Kelly and Jesse Eljuga both passed well to get the backline flowing and put in a huge effort all match.

Colby McDonald and Clinton Filtness both found open space using their fancy footwork to pull off some great runs.

Darcy Clark and Hudson Laird took on the defence with tough runs and were great support in defence.

A big thankyou to Lachie

Hemphill for joining the team and pulling off some great runs and putting his body in front of the defence. Final score Queanbeyan 28 Cooma 4.

Franks Butchery Under 13’s The under 13 Cooma Colts played their last game of the season at home against second placed Crookwell Green Devils. With the under 13 colts not able to make the semi-finals this season they were never going to give Crookwell an easy game, all present for the final game of the day were treated to a very tough and skilful game by both teams. Both teams started well with both teams throwing the ball around and making good metres. Crookwell were the first team to put points on the board, but Cooma bounced back with Noah Saddler scoring. Not long after that Crookwell scored two more times pushing the score out to 16 points to 4 Crookwell’s way. For most of the first half it became a real arm wrestle with Noah Saddler, Jason Kelly, Josh Sharkey, Lachlan McGufficke and Jake Quodling or leading the charge with some great defence also good metres where gained when in attack. Tyler Rees was getting some great balls away to first receiver in Nic Zusak who played his best game of the season with a precision kicking game with Noah Saddler catching the ball and scoring, also off another perfect kick from Zusak, Lachlan McGufficke scored at just before half time with Crookwell 16 Cooma 14. The second half started the same as the first hard a fast with Cooma’s backline coming into the game with Will Cahill, James’s McGufficke, Daniel Watts, Colby McDonald, Kiah Joyce and Jake Galvin all throwing the ball around with some fantastic attacking.

Crookwell started to get a role on with a couple of quick tries, but Cooma dug there heals in and defended like warriors on several occasions pushed Crookwell over the sideline. With Cooma on the attack Nic Zusak run the ball and put a kick through with Saddler gathering the ball a running away to score. The next try was from Cooma again with Noah Saddler running the ball and offloading to Tyler Rees running 20 meters and pushing off several defenders to score under the posts, with Jake Quodling converting. With the game coming down to the wire Zusak put another kick through with Noah Saddler regathering and sprinted away pushing every defender that tried to stop him, with the full time siren gone off Quodling had a kick out wide but his kick just did not have the distance. The final score was Crookwell 30 Cooma 28. It was an absolute fantastic game by all with every player giving everything they had and the crowd went away having watch a very good spectacle. I am very proud everyone of these boys this season, they have all grown and become better footballers and have really learnt when you work as a team you can achieve anything.

3 points Nic Zusak 2 points Jason Kelly 1 point Noah Saddler I would also like to thank all who have helped out this season, I really appreciate everything you have done.

League safe Tim Kelly and Mark Harris, First Aid Ray Galvin, Manager Amanda Zusak and Lorraine Galvin and to anyone else who has helped throughout season thank you.

Introna takes out Firemans Shield Cooma Golf report by Garry Atkinson The week of golf just gone has seen some of the best scoring this year on all competition days with golfers fresh from the Cottontails Cup victory.

Scores back on the home course were very competitive.

Don’t forget to get your partners for the foursomes championships coming up next Saturday and get ready for the Centenary Cup in a couple of week’s time.

On Saturday the club saw a single stableford played with the highest score winning the Firemans Shield for 2015.

It was nice to see the Young brothers back in town, all together for the event that they sponsor.

In A grade Kim Howard won the division with a fine 39 points. Nice to see Kim back in the winner’s circle.

In B grade Mike Introna had the round of the day with a fabulous 42 points from Dom Rossi with a very strong 39 points and in C grade John Harris amassed 35 points to narrowly pip Lindsay Blewitt with 33 points on a countback.

Longest drives were taken out by smooth swinging Bailey Burke – A grade, Dom Rossi in B grade and John Harris C grade.

Nearest the pin on the fourth was won by Brad Burke and Garry Atkinson hit a close shot on the 11th. Ball winners went down to Phil Ingram with 34 points.

Sunday saw a single medley stableford played with Sam Patricks just getting home with 37 points on a countback from in-form Wayne Flynn also with 37 points.

Ball winners went down to Brian Searl with 33 points.

Nearest the pin on the ninth went to Campbell Childs and Bob Weston on the 17th. Both golfers hit great shots into the green.

Last Wednesday August 12 saw a single medley stableford contested.

Egils Freimanis hit form to take out the winner’s prize with a fine 39 stableford points from Geoff Bohringer also with 39 points (1 putt Geoff!!).

Ball winners went down to 32 points with Vic Carroll just getting home.

Nearest the pin on the ninth went to John Gargett (a regular nearest the pin

winner). On the 17th Paul Beaver hit a beauty to be the closest shot on that hole.

Next Wednesday sees an individual medley stableford. Saturday sees the Foursomes Championships for the year and Sunday sees an individual meldey stroke.

Finally a big thanks to those members who have donated money towards the improvement of the practice area.

Further thanks go to Mark and Jenny Rainsford for their donation of formwork for the concrete pads and Marco for the donation of cement.

Work should continue this week ready for seeding by the end of August.

Members are asked not to drive their buggies onto the soft soil while work is in progress. Thank you.

See you on the course.

At last, sunshine at the bowls Bowls last Wednesday was called off due to the threat of rain and the extreme cold.

This was to have been the August round of the Bill Elder Shield and this round will now be played next Wednesday.

Twenty bowlers enjoyed glorious sunshine on Saturday with seven being the lowest winning margin. Keith Goodwin, Renate Winckel and Jack Sajina came up against an in-form trio, Sergio Roncelli, Dawn Russell and John Vincent and won only four of the first 13 ends to trail 6/18 and could only make up one shot over the remaining ends to lose 14/25. Ken Rees, Ron Wainwright and Geoff Venables were in a similar position against Judy Locker, Daphne Buckley and Graham Vale when they trailed 4/25.

Although faring a little better over the concluding ends, Judy, Daphne and Graham ran out winners 35/18. Cheryl Meillon and Steve Seears had a real battle with Mary Phillips and Richard Nichols to hold a slender lead, 9/8 after 13 ends. Cheryl and Steve won eight of the next 12 ends to win 20/13, the lowest winning margin for the day. In the remaining match up, Bob Douglass and Olga Jebbink started with four shots on the first end against Max Butler and Leonie Snell and then kept them on two shots for six ends. Things didn’t improve for Max and Leonie as Bob and Olga continued to dominate and went on to win 31/13.

More good weather on Sunday to be enjoyed by 15 bowlers. Ken Rees, Henry Speerin (a visitor from Wagga) and Kevin Jackson set up a 13/6 lead over Mick Mayhew, Jack Sajina and Mark Buckley by end 10 and then kept Mark’s team on eight shots

for six ends before going on to win 25/13.

Olga Jebbink and Richard Nichols were right on target in gaining a 15/7 lead over Dot Jackson and Gordon Vale at the halfway point and did not let up, to go on and win 26/16.

Keith Goodwin played Swinging Lead for Renate Winckel and Geoff Venables and for Daphne Buckley and Paul Cannell.

Paul’s team set up a commanding 16/7 lead by end 10. Geoff’s team then set about wiping off the deficit and by end 17 were in front 18/17.

Ten shots to one over the remaining three ends gave Keith, Daphne and Paul a win 27/19.

the final were local rider Drew Turner, fellow Perisher WSC athlete Max Mandl and Mt Buller Race Club athlete Harry Morrissey.

Alex didn’t get the start he was looking for and was actually placed 3rd coming into the first turn of the final. However he eventually overtook the other riders and won the race.

Alex said “It was a great day’s racing, with over 80 athletes competing in all male and female divisions.

I was happy with my riding and am stoked to back up the fastest qualifying run with the overall first place for the Rookie Division.

Thanks to Perisher for putting on such a great event.”

Alex’s objective is to be selected for the Youth Winter Olympics SBX event being held in Lillehammer in Norway in February 2016 and the Junior World Championships in March 2016.
