Snowy Scheme is now heritage listed Former and present Snowy workers gathered in Cooma last Friday to witness the Minister for the Environment and Energy, Josh Frydenburg, announce the Snowy Mountains Scheme had become the 107th place to be added to the National Heritage List.

The scheme is recognised as the biggest industrial development Australia has ever attempted.

Constructed between 1949 and 1974, the scheme is made up of 225 kilometres of tunnels, pipelines and aqueducts, with only two per cent of the entire construction visible above the ground.

The National Heritage Listed area includes 15 major dams, nine power stations and a pumping station, covering a mountainous area of 4,600 square kilometres in southern New South Wales.

The scheme’s dams, tunnels, aqueducts and power stations are some of the most complex and technical engineering and construction feats in the country and the world.

As well, significant engineering advancements were achieved during the construction of the scheme, including rockbolting and the use of 330 kV transmission lines.

Importantly, the scheme was completed on time and on budget.

More than 100,000 people from around 30 countries worked on the Snowy Mountains Scheme.

Seventy per cent of these were migrants displaced from their homes in Europe during the Second World War. These workers and their children lived in towns and camps across the Snowy Mountains during construction and still holds a special significance for workers, their descendants and the wider community as a symbol of multicultural Australia.

Mr Frydenburg said the Snowy Mountains Scheme was an audacious and brilliant example of modern Australia—a bold idea brought to life by the hardwork of thousands of people coming to Australia from all over the world.

The Snowy Mountains

Scheme remains one of Australia’s largest producers of renewable energy, including nearly a third of renewable energy fed into the eastern mainland grid, and water flowing from the scheme supports over $3 billion in agricultural production.

The scheme’s inclusion in the National Heritage List formalises the important chapter the Snowy Scheme has in the Australian story and cements its place in the nation’s history.

Former workers at the event included engineer Keith Montague.

Mr Montague said of the heritage listing “it is a great first step�.

But he asked whether the heritage listing would keep Snowy Hydro safe from privatisation and/or sale. He said he was looking for more explanation how nationally heritage listing the Snowy works with its location is a state-run national park. “It’s a cautious moment of progress to ensure the scheme is never sold�, Mr Montague said.

Environment Minister Josh Frydenburg with former Snowy engineers George Shelton, Keith Montague and Noel Carter.

Marg Dowd, who also worked for Snowy, as did her father Con Peter and son Ron, said she was very proud the scheme had been recognised. Her family immigrated from Germany to work on the scheme and Marg remains here today.

Another family to relocate to Cooma from Germany was the Bergerhausen

family. Brigitte Mackay and her mother followed her father Heinz to Australia a couple of years after he joined the Snowy.

Brigitte remembered her father sending back newspaper clippings and cartoons from Australia to entertain her, until the family was reunited.

Mr Barilaro said the meeting went well and described it as positive, praising the work of paramedics in what he acknowledged to be “a high profile and high risk job�. “I’ve got a better understanding from talking to ambos. MPs need to be informed so we can fight for you. It gives us an opportunity to challenge going forward,� he said. “It’s about fairness.

We’re much more informed and happy to take up the fight. We are concerned with where this is at.�

Cooma staff were pleased with the response from Mr Barilaro and hoping for a swift reaction from the state government. “We were very pleased to take the meeting and glad we got a response.

We felt we had Mr Barilaro’s support but we’ll continue the campaign to pressure compromise if nothing happens. Some sort of compromise needs to happen soon,� Cooma based paramedic Phil Brown said.

former worker and member of the Snowy Scheme Association, said the announcement was “a good thing�. “It’s about time�, he added.

Engineer Wally Mills, one of the engineers closely involved with the rockbolting innovation said the heritage listing was “wonderful news�.

project. “The Niche Wall has capacity for 300-400 cinerary urns and has been constructed at the Jindabyne General Cemetery (1st World War Soldiers’ Memorial). Commemoration of the ANZAC Centenary 20142018 has been incorporated into the construction design. “This government recognises and acknowledges the important work that community groups such as the Jindabyne Lions Club perform within our community,� said Mr Barilaro.

$20,000 for Lake Light Sculpture

EasyHooves It’s time to trim your horse’s feet Call Mandy

0478 533 471 Administrator’s Column Recently myself and staff members met with our marketing guru, Peter Sheppard from Creative Alliance, about new conceptual designs for local town signage. Peter presented us with some ideas and we have been considering the proposals that have been put forward to us. There is a lot to take into consideration – colour scheme, the surrounding environments, shape and size, location and how it will make an impression to the entrance of each town. Another important aspect to consider is how effective we can make them to capture the attention of tourists. We hope to have a concept for installation as soon as possible so that our new Local Government Area has a sense of uniformity and attractiveness.

We have also been workshopping themes and promotional material for the former Snowy River and Bombala shires in a similar aspect as the material that you can find around Cooma. We’ve had lots of good feedback from the community and hope to see similar results as what we’ve seen in Cooma. Ideally, I’d like to tie this in with the Bombala and Delegate streetscape plans.

Our first streetscape plan meeting, held in Delegate, was a success with about 40 people attending. Their suggestions and feedback was really productive and there were lots of good ideas thrown around that we can take back to the company who initially designed the plans. We also talked about the town entrance and everyone was on-board with new and updated signage which is a step in a positive direction.

On another note, we’ve had many enquiries regarding roads and when they are due for maintenance. Council has added the 2016/2017 Grading Schedule page to the website which gives a list of roads and the proposed timeframe. This can be found under the Services tab and then the Roads, Traffic and Maintenance submenu.

Please make sure you check out our website regularly as it is constantly being updated with new information; we are coming closer to finally compiling all the information from the former three websites.

Dean Lynch Administrator

It’s become one of the region’s signature events, and following a recent funding announcement the organisers of Jindabyne’s Lake Light Sculpture are ready to increase its appeal.

The Lake Light Sculpture received a $20,000 grant through the Stronger Communities Fund program with the Member for Monaro presenting the cheque to the event’s committee.

Presented on the edge of Lake Jindabyne, the site where more than 18,000 visitors made their way along the shore over the Easter long weekend, the committee said the funding will allow them to ensure the event continues to grow.

“This grant will help us continue to improve the quality of the event experience,” Jo Larkin, from the Lake Light Sculpture, said.

“One of our big goals is to increase the prize pool in order to keep attracting quality artists.

“As the event grows we want to keep investing in the community. The event shapes the fabric of Jindabyne over Easter.”

The grant for the Lake Light Sculpture was one of 28 local projects to receive funding. A second round of funding will be announced earlier next year, releasing $15million into the community.

The goodwill was shared round Jindabyne last Friday with Mr Barilaro, Snowy Monaro Regional Council administrator Dean Lynch and general

The funding will go a long way to seeing the Lake Jindabyne Shared Trail link up with the town centre and beyond. The region has become a must ride of mountain bike enthusiasts and through establishing new trails, more riders are expected to make their way to the Snowy Mountains.

Mr Barilaro welcomed these announcements, declaring the Stronger Community Fund was established to kick

start priority community projects.

“This fund allows local residents, community groups and new councils to work together to deliver infrastructure and services that make a real and lasting difference to the lives of local communities,” he said.

“It’s a pleasure to announce today’s successful recipients and I look forward to seeing this money re-invested into more vital community infrastructure projects.

Projects benefit through Community Fund Twenty eight local projects have been successful in gaining funding under round one of the Strong Communities Fund.

The $15 million fund was secured by Snowy Monaro Regional Council from the NSW State Government and will be delivered in two rounds.

The Member for Monaro John Barilaro, Snowy Monaro Regional Council Administrator Dean Lynch and Snowy Monaro Regional Council General Manager Joe Vescio announced and visited some of the successful recipients whilst in Jindabyne last Friday.

“Over 100 applications were received and assessed by the Strong Communities Fund Assessment Panel made up of local representatives; the diversity and quality of the project nominations was very impressive,’ said Snowy Monaro Regional Council Administrator Dean Lynch.

“Excitingly, a second round of the SMCG will now be actioned, with the aim to deliver funding announcements

early next year.

“In the event a project has not been successful in round one, we encourage incorporated, not-for-profit organisations to consider resubmitting in round two.”

Mr Barilaro said the Strong Community Fund has been established by the NSW Government so that councils can kick start priority community projects like local

roads, parks, playgrounds and footpaths.

“This fund allows local residents, community groups and new councils to work together to deliver infrastructure and services that make a real and lasting difference to the lives of local communities.

“It’s a pleasure to announce today’s successful recipients and I look forward to seeing this money reinvested into more vital community infrastructure projects,” Mr Barilaro said.

Successful recipients of the Strong Communities Fund include: Jindabyne Cycling Club – Lake Jindabyne Shared Trail Works $50,000 Coolamatong Snowy Mountains Country Club Ltd – Club commercial kitchen and grease trap - $44,922 Jindabyne Chamber of Commerce Inc – Sculptural bicycle racks for Jindabyne - $16,000 Jindabyne Pony Club Inc – Upgrade to Jindabyne Pony Club facilities - $10,000

National Water Week: Water- Life-Growth Water is something we use every single day for many parts of our lives. We use water to drink when we’re thirsty, to nurture our gardens, to shower, brush our teeth and wash the dishes. But water plays an even bigger role in our daily lives than we might think. Water is vital to make sure the different industries we all rely on are supported sustainably, like agriculture to grow the food we eat.

Water is fundamental to make sure

our environment is healthy, and to make our cities and communities a happy place to live. If we want life and growth in the future, we need to make sure we use our water wisely today.

Using water wisely is not only about water saving. It is also about making sure that we also protect the quality of our water sources.

Clean water means being able to use water safely and saving costs of water treatment. Clean water

also means healthy waterways, because healthy waterways and wetlands produce clean water.

How do we know that our creeks and rivers are healthy?

During Waterweek each year, Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch releases its annual Catchment Health Indicator Program (CHIP) report which reports on the health of waterways in the Upper Murrumbidgee catchment. This year’s report includes data from

1,973 water quality samples, 208 water bug surveys and 196 riparian condition assessments, collected by many dedicated Waterwatch volunteers. The report divides the catchment up into sections (reaches) and for each the report assigns a health score from ‘excellent’ to ‘degraded’. The report can be found at www.act. waterwatch.org.au/chip.html.This Waterweek, have a look and see how your local river is faring!

Each year, National Water Week makes a splash across Australia inspiring individuals, communities and organisations to work together to build community awareness and understanding around water issues.

This year’s National Water week’s theme is ‘Water - life - growth’ encouraging sound water practices and investment in all the water sources to ensure we don’t exhaust our current sources in potentially challenging times ahead.

Cooma Cake Decorators Narelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quilt stuns at Sydney Show Guild Demonstration Day

Delicate baby booties made with fondant icing.

Narelle Birchall with her handmade quilt â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Love Entwinedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at the Sydney Quilt Show earlier this year.

In June this year, Narelle Birchall took home three major awards at the annual Sydney Quilt Show for her piece â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Love Entwinedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

The quilt is a reproduction of a 1790 coverlet, which was made in England. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Esther Aliu drafted the pattern from a photograph of that era and she believes it was the first completed reproduction in the world,â&#x20AC;? said Narelle.

Being completely hand sewn, hand appliqued and hand quilted, Narelle took home the Retaining the Tradition Award at the Sydney show. She was also presented with the Bernina Amateur Encouragement Award and the Viewersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Choice first prize.

Narelle has been quilting for about 17 years. With a love and passion for antiques, old things and

old houses, she took up the craft when she saw a particularly beautiful old quilt at Vaucluse House in Sydney. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really wanted an old one like that, but there was no way I could afford to buy one, so I decided to make it myself,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Having moved to the area in 1988, Narelle is now part of a local quilters group that meets every Thursday in Jindabyne. The Snowy Mountains Quilters host a Jindabyne Quilt Show each year.

Three years ago, Narelle entered a quilt and the group has encouraged her to keep entering and keep quilting ever since. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We learn a lot from one another and I really enjoy going along each week,â&#x20AC;? said Narelle.

Jindabyne Holiday Park Out with the old, in with the new drives Snowy Mountains camping boom Regional towns in New South Wales are the big winners from a boom in camping and caravan holidays with Aussie travellers injecting more than $1.8 billion into local economies this year.

The Escape2 Jindabyne Holiday Park alone pumped an estimated $4.5 million into the Snowy Mountains regional economy in the last year, drawing more than 18,500 visitors to the area.

New figures from the Caravan Industry Association show camping and caravanning is a hot new tourist trend with holiday parks enjoying the highest visitor numbers ever recorded.

The Association’s State of the Industry 2016 report revealed caravan and camping visitors went on 11 million trips in Australia in 2015 – seven per cent more than 2014.

Escape2 Holiday Parks general manager Lyndall Murray said regional economies received the lion’s share of the benefits.

“Australians taking camping and caravan holidays in their own back yard spent $7 billion last year and 90% of all visitor nights were spent in regional Australia,” Ms Murray said.

“Each visitor to a holiday park in New South Wales spends on average $152 per night – much of which flows into local businesses like shops, cafes, servos and local attractions.”

Ms Murray said Escape2 Jindabyne Holiday Park had long been a playground for Australian and international tourists wanting to experience the majesty of the Snowy Mountains and explore some of the best fishing, skiing, and hiking the country has to offer.

“In the past 12 months, we’ve seen an influx of young couples from Sydney and Canberra,” she said.

“In winter, they are wanting to snowboard and ski at the nearby ski fields and, in summer, they are looking for hiking and mountain biking.”

Ms Murray said convenience and affordability were key factors in driving the increase in tourists.

“Families are looking for value-formoney holidays where their kids can enjoy basketball and tennis courts, games rooms and more,” she said.

“Mum and dad and couples having a getaway want to have the choice to stay in a luxury cabin rather than pitching a tent or towing a caravan.

“People want comfort, affordability and good quality facilities and holiday parks are meeting that demand.”

Escape2 holiday parks are managed by Australian Tourist Park Management (ATPM), which manages and leases 34 holiday parks across the country, including NRMA and RAC properties.

Thanks to the Cooma Hospital Auxiliary, a brand new patient examination table has arrived at the hospital, and it has all the bells and whistles.

With the old table being more than 40 years old, it was definitely overdue for retirement.

The new table will be used for the continence service, dressings and to be used by various visiting practitioners.

On wheels, the new mobile examination table is much easier to use. Power by electricity, there are foot pedals that can adjust the backrest and the height of the table.

“The new table is a big improvement on the last one,” said Nurse Manager Julie Spring, “It is much better in terms of patient safety and also the work health and safety of staff. We are very grateful to the Auxiliary for this generous donation.”

HSC begins Students of Monaro High School nervously sat down for the first Higher School Certificate (HSC) exam of 2016 last week.

Starting off with English, the students came out of the exam on Thursday October 13 buzzing with questions for one another as to how they went.

All were glad that the first exam is over.

For Monaro High School, there will be 70 Year 12 students sitting exams for 24 different subjects over the next few weeks. The final exam will take place on Thursday November 3.

Many students felt that the first English exam was not as hard as they were expecting, based on their trial exams earlier in the year. Others said that they were not very stressed by the upcoming exams, as they are just cumulative of what they have learnt over the past six years.

After their discussion, the students went home to hit the books for their second English exam the following day. With lots of studying ahead of them, November 3 cannot come quickly enough.

A very happy Monaro High School Year 12 group after their first HSC exam last week.

Navy cadets select an area of interest to pursue during their ACT, eg, Power Boating, Marine Engineering, Cheffing, Ceremonial, Weapons, Drums, Sailing, Communications etc.

NSW Australian Army Cadets (AAC) stage a one-week Annual Field Exercise (AFX) in the Singleton Army Training Area in September each year, training principally in bush navigation and survival.

Due to a lot of effort and commitment by the staffs in the Snowy Monaro’s TS ORION, Wollongong’s TS ALBATROSS and Holsworthybased 22 Battalion AAC, the three cadet units undertake joint activities, including the Snow Camps based out of the Jindabyne Sport and Recreation Centre and Annual Field Exercises at Singleton.

In late September, Petty Officer ANC Dianne Wilson, took nine TS ORION cadets to Singleton: – Cadet Petty Officer (PO) Georgie Nikora, Cadet PO Caroline Greene, Cadet Leading Seaman (LS) Ethan Inches, Cadet LS Ian Grant, Cadet Able Seaman (AB) Callum Dixon, Cadet AB Teri Roberson, Cadet AB Kiowa Beck, Cadet AB Sam Lomax and Cadet Seaman Zoe Inches were the lucky attendees.

Cadets in “Sections” of 10-12 cadets used compasses and maps to navigate cross country between approximately 10 activities identified only by map co-ordinates. The activities include catering, endurance, engineering, camouflage, tunnels,

and first aid. This year there was also a stand on USAR (Urban Search and Rescue), Laser Tag, and a naval activity - water crossing.

The cadets were divided between three companies and, on three nights, each company attempted to infiltrate the other companies’ locations and capture their flag. This caused lots of excitement and a few moments of panic when cadets were missing at final headcount - fallen asleep on sentry duty was usually the reason.

A highlight for the Army cadets was the visit of an RAN helicopter, arranged

by TS ALBATROSS staff.

A real buzz for the Naval cadets was their participation a Weapons Effectiveness Training event, involving being bussed to Singleton Army Barracks for their only shower of the week, a visit to the Infantry museum, and various other special activities.

Accommodation was sleeping bag under a “hoochie”, and meals were ration packs. As cadets were not permitted cameras or any other technology, photos are not available of the activities. PO ANC Wilson was able to take some photos of the naval activity, as well as some living conditions, to give you an idea of the challenges the cadets encountered.

In spite of some new challenges, all our cadets came back smiling, and we didn’t break any of them. When asked what the best thing was, the answer was unanimously “making new friends”.

TS ORION’s Executive Officer, Sub Lieutenant ANC Trevor Roche coordinated the trip and the cadets are particularly grateful to the Jindabyne Bush Pigs for allowing them the use of their bus at “Mates Rates”.

Jindabyne Sport and Rec Snowy Remembrance Day commemoration blocked by NPWS tipped to be privatised President of the Snowy Mountains Bush Users Group Peter Cochran has been issued a 17 page contract

by NPWS for members of the Save Our Snowy Brumby Coalition to conduct a Remembrance Day Service at Bullocks Hill in the Snowy Mountains.

The service and weekend gathering which includes members of the Light Horse is planned for the weekend commencing November 11 and includes a service conducted by the Adaminaby RSL Sub Branch acknowledging the Battle of Beersheeba and part played by Snowy Brumbies in the First World War. Mr Cochran, who is also a Viet Nam Vet and President of the Adaminaby RSL said â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is impossible

to comply with the contract and appears to be a deliberate attempt by the NPWS to stop the events of the weekend.â&#x20AC;?

The Snowy Mountains Brumby Coalition is a voluntary organisation of Brumby advocate groups who are campaigning to save the Snowy Brumby from a planned 90 percent cull over the next few years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Members of our group will meet over the next couple of days to decide if we go ahead with the Commemoration without approval risking heavy fines and even goal . It seems as though the freedom fought for by diggers in WW1 and the thousands of horses lives , lost in battle , was in vain. It is a sad day for Australia, â&#x20AC;&#x153; Mr Cochran concluded.

Public Service Association South East Regional organiser Tony Heathwood with staff from the Jindabyne Sport and Rec facility.

New South Wales Sport and Recreation Camps are in jeopardy of becoming privatised under a proposal by the Baird Government, according to the Public Service Association.

The Jindabyne Sport and Rec centre is a popular destination for tourists and is an invaluable facility for many local community based organisations including Little Athletics, Navy Cadets, Jindabyne Netball, local school athletic carnivals, Lions Club senior Christmas party, community open days, Action Sports training trampolining and acts as a TAFE NSW campus.

New South Wales Institute of Sport winter athletes and Disabled Winter Athletes also use the facility as do the local schools and PCYC. Sport and Rec staff as well as community members hold concerns that if the facility is privatised many of these organisations will be charged increased rent or lose access to the centre.

The government says the proposal to privatise the facilities is to improve them, but staff are sceptical.

They are concerned that the any proposed privatisation would lead to cuts in the quality of the service, job security and community access in a bid to increase profit margins from the facility.

Tony Heathwood, South East regional organiser of the Public Service Association (PSA), met with staff at the Jindabyne centre and carried a conducted a petition in town raising support for the centre.

Mr Heathwood voiced the

They would reduce programs and increase cost of access which is a loss to the community and local groups who access the centre for low costs.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The facilities were never set up as money making ventures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There has been no compelling case put forward by the government to privatise this type of venue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr Bairdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only mandate at the last election was the poles and wires. He did not receive a mandate to sell off the rest of the government services under threat.â&#x20AC;?

If the privatisation gets the go ahead, it is believed that the implementation phase will occur over a two-year period from November 2016 with the private operator slowly taking over functions during that period. It has been stated that the land would not be sold off, only the operation of the centres.

the

POST man

C A L L S The Postman and the entire team at The Monaro Post would like to express their condolences to the family of the late Bede Nichols, who left us far too soon last Friday.

Bede will long be remembered in so many spheres of our local life – rugby, basketball, tennis, mountain biking, joking about and generally being larger than life.

Rest in Peace, Bede, you will be missed!

Is anyone else confused by the number of cars that have crashing into buildings – mainly houses – of late? Such things used to be a rarity. Now it seems to be a bit of competition to see whether Sydney or Melbourne can attract the most incidents.

Maybe we need to look at driver’s skills and match them with an appropriate vehicle.

There are few motorists The Postman has observed who would probably be better off driving a tricycle than a motor car.

Our local racing season has left the starting gates with an excellent day of racing at Bombala last Saturday.

All eyes are on Adaminaby now – with their Pink Theme and ladies luncheon to support the McGrath Foundation.

It’s always a good day out at Adaminaby – rain, hail, snow or shine!

Two weeks later, they’re off and racing at Cooma. Once again, another big day out is expected and there will also be horses running around the track (just in case those in the marquees miss that bit!)

As we are celebrating 60 years of television this year, could we expect a better variety of shows to be made available on our free-toair channels?

The Postman would rather watch reruns of MASH and F Troop than some of the new, unwatchable stuff available now. Australian Survivor would be the first to get the chop!

Followed by any and all reality TV shows.

Interestingly, this Thursday, the SBS will show Outlander - an historic series featuring blokes in kilts and very little else. That should excite anyone interested in the Jacobean uprising!

The Nimmity Bell Editor,

The Nimmitabel Lions Club and most of the Nimmitabel community were extremely disappointed at Snowy Monaro Regional Council’s decision to reject the Club’s Development Application for the permanent mounting of the Bell at the site where it was unveiled, during the spectacularly successful Nimmity Bell Festival, a year ago.

The Festival won the award for the Best Festival in Cooma-Monaro Shire Council‘s Australia Day Awards last year and as former Deputy Mayor Rogan Corbett, who opened the Bell with John Barilaro MP said, he had never seen the town so happy!

A crowd estimated at 700 gathered around the site for the first ringing of the Bell, by those dignitaries and then by the children from the Public School, who had composed their own song about the Bell.

However, when the DA was submitted it drew a number of objections from residents, mostly concerned about the noise of the ringing, and some other concerns from Council staff. The staff attitude was very disappointing, given that so much time and effort had been directed to working with Council right from the start of this exciting proposal and no indication of their concerns was given to the club.

Many of the residents who objected, were under the impression that the Bell would be ringing on the hour all through the day, which could not be further from the truth and has never been contemplated by anybody involved with the project. Some of them have already come to us and apologized for their mistake and would like to withdraw their objection.

The decision about when or whether the Bell will ring is one entirely for the

people of Nimmitabel to make, which is acknowledged in the DA, where the club had asked for a trial of ringing at mid-day.

This trial had been strongly supported by every business operating in the main street, and would only happen if it were approved by the Nimmitabel community.

Nimmitabel is developing in an exciting new direction from the sawmill town it once was and The Nimmity Bell is a potent symbol of this transition and is designed to stop traffic in the town, so visitors can enjoy the various services offered and see some of our proud history. There are already four other bells in town, at the churches, school and police station.

This project was brought to the Nimmitabel Advancement Group in April last year and to the Nimmitabel Lions Club shortly afterwards. It was enthusiastically endorsed by all present at both meetings.

Mayor Dean Lynch was also consulted at that time. There have been constant updating reports to regular meetings of both those organisations and the Bell Festival Committee is a joint body of these two organisations. The Festival was organized in close consultation with Council’s tourism department, who were extremely helpful.

Within a couple of months of the proposal’s conception, over 100 families from this wonderful district had promised over $60,000 to support it! We know of no other project anywhere that has drawn such a strong endorsement from such an overwhelming majority of the community and over 100 signatures also went on a petition at the hotel, supporting the Bell.

John Barilaro MP has also committed both his personal support and that of the State Government.

300 notices went to all residents and two

public meetings were held to decide the site for the Bell. The first site chosen in front of the Pioneers Memorial Hall had too many problems with underground services and Mayor Dean Lynch advised the Lions Club: “You can put it wherever you like across the street”. The site then chosen, which was where the Bell was placed for the Festival, was endorsed without any objections by the second public meeting. After consulting with Council staff about services and engineering and with no objections from RMS, we then ensured that the Bell design was mounted beautifully, as designed by landscape architect Kate Waldren, high enough for visual prominence and also so as not to interfere with views of the historic Geldmacher House.

If part of the idea behind the Bell was to bring a fractured community back together, which it certainly succeeded in doing in the early stages, it will be ironic and sad if a few unhappy people use it to split the town again.

We hope the Council will now consult with us and the community. Dean Lynch has been invited to chair a public meeting in town and we have requested a review of the decision to refuse the DA. Hopefully, a clearer picture will ensure that our pride in the beautiful Nimmity Bell is restored and we can all move forward.

With a secure water supply at last, Nimmitabel is in a good place and should be looking towards an exciting future which includes the Nimmity Bell.

Retrenched, not retired

Editor - I, Trevor Morgan, would like to clarify that I did not retire after 29 years with FCNSW. I was retrenched along with 12 other workshop staff across the state when the decision was made that the three FCNSW Workshops (Bombala, Batlow and Bathurst) would be closed.

As I am under 50 and with a young family, retirement is not an option.

With assistance from FCNSW and AMWU in training and support I intend to keep on working to support my family and my local community of

RIPOSTE

Bombala, which is a great place to live that is too often forgotten about by people making decisions that effect us.

I intend to take some time out to get a few things done, get together my thoughts and take up some offers I have had, and move ahead.

A big thanks from us to the local staff of FCNSW, past and present, and the local community as I am looking forward to the future.

By Lisa Ashurst Did you know that the words “things” and “stuff” may be gender words?

They haven’t been pounced on by the Gender Language Police as yet but I have come to the conclusion that they are definitely gender specific because women have “things” and men have “stuff”.

And that’s a bit of an issue sometimes between men and women.

When men put their stuff down somewhere, they expect it to still be there when they come back for it minutes, hours, days, weeks or months later.

What they don’t want to find is that the lady of the house has moved it to a far less conspicuous location at some stage because that’s where her crystal things and scented candle things normally sit and But like things, stuff accumulates, his stuff dumped beside/on top of them however, unlike things, stuff can was ruining the ambience! accumulate where it shouldn’t!

But does it have to be in a heap on the end of the bench?

No it does not! It’s impacting negatively on all the attractive kitchen décor accessory things!

Stuff does that when it’s in the wrong place. Every woman knows that! Thing is, every man doesn’t. (Sigh)

Women get their things, sort through their things, rearrange things, have things in their cars and things in their handbags.

Men don’t.

They have stuff.

Sometimes they may look through their stuff while looking for other stuff but generally they just leave their stuff where it lays and on the whole would prefer that the women in their lives please leave it alone!

Year 9 girls from the Monaro High School â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Links for Learning in the Snowysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; project last week unveiled some new murals at the Harlowe Horse Stables at the Cooma Showground.

The girls identified a project they could work on together to explore community connectedness and learn new skills along the way.

Once they had decided on the mural project they brainstormed ideas on things they were passionate about personally.

Over the course of a term they worked on the murals addressing the issues of acceptance, mental health, bullying, drugs and alcohol, domestic violence, racism/respect, gender equality and a sponsor board.

The girls met with the Cooma Pastoral and Agricultural Committee and agreed upon these topical community issues, and where possible tried to incorporate agriculture, community and the showground into their designs. Local sponsors

Good luck to all HSC students With the NSW Higher School Certificate commencing this month for year 12 students, the question for most is “what am I going to do with my future?”

The HSC is an important stepping stone to University, however it is good to know that there are also other pathways to higher education for students who may not achieve the pre requisites or marks they need or who have changed their mind.

The Cooma Universities Centre can assist you in your post high school journey to tertiary education, whether that be with advice about a degree on campus, support to study via distance education or exploring alternative entry options.

The Cooma Universities Centres spoke to Lauren Swain, a current student at the CUC, who recently completed her HSC.

Here’s some advice she offers to all current year 12 students about the HSC and the future: “My biggest word of advice would be: The HSC is not the be all and end all.

“Of course, try your absolute hardest because you haven’t made it through 13 years of school to not give it a solid crack!

“However, do NOT let an exam take over your mental health and wellbeing. Your happiness and health comes first, always.

“If you want something bad enough then you will get there eventually if you put in the hard work, dedication and passion.

“Remember you are young and you have lots of living ahead of you. The real world is just around the corner.

Enjoy, breath, and just keep swimming!”

The CUC wishes students good luck with their exams, studies, and future educational endeavours.

The Cooma Universities Centre is again offering face to face degrees in 2017 in the fields of Education (Primary or Early

Childhood Teaching) and Tourism & Events.

If you are interested in studying either of these degrees, or another degree via Distance

Museum funds The Thredbo Ski Museum has been awarded $3,800 by the NSW Government to produce a publication in celebration of Thredbo’s 60th Anniversary, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro has announced.

The funding has been provided through the NSW Government’s Royal Australian Historical Society Cultural Grants Program.

“The NSW Government is proud to support local community museums which play a vibrant role in showcasing local history and culture,” Mr Barilaro said.

“The funding will assist the museum in

researching, writing and producing a book detailing the formation of the Thredbo Ski Resort and Village to mark its 60th anniversary.

“The main themes of the projects funded by the 2016 Cultural Grants program revolve around local community history, along with the historical tales of significant local landmarks.

“These grants enable research to be carried out by local historians and the publication of their findings as well as the preservation and digitisation of publications that have chronicled local happenings and events over many decades.”

Education, please do not hesitate to contact the staff at the CUC via email (info@coomauc. com.au) or phone (02) 6452 3368.

SIR WILLIAM HUDSON

MEMORIAL CENTRE AGED CARE FACILITY

With the Melbourne Cup only weeks away volunteers from SWHMC will be seen outside Woolworths selling tickets in our Cup Sweep. Tickets are also available at reception at the Centre and some retail outlets in town. Our Melbourne Cup Sweep is our final fundraiser for the year, and we are seeking your support as we endeavor to raise funds for the extra comfort needs of our residents. The draw for the horses will be computerised courtesy of the Cooma Ex-Services Club, and will be held at 11am 1st November. If you are fortunate enough to draw a horse you will be notified by phone.

Sweeps for the residents will also be available and will be conducted as a not for profit event. Residents may also need your assistance to dress up for Melbourne Cup Day, so dust off the fascinators and bow ties to assist them to be ready!

Please remember to save the date for SWHMC AGM November 24 at 7pm.

To be eligible to cast a vote at the meeting you must be a fully paid member of the Company. Membership application forms are available from Tabitha at reception.

A group of our residents recently spent the day at Floriade enjoying the amazing colorful show of spring flowers. They had a fantastic day out and especially enjoyed the Versailles artwork display complete with its interactive period dressed models who certainly entertained the crowds. Upcoming trips out include a day trip to the Wild Brumby distillery and shopping outings to the Coles Arcade.

The final touches have been made on our first room makeovers and the results are brilliant. The residents have returned to their new look rooms and have all found the changes to be a great improvement. It is hoped that the next rooms can be started in the near future.

Although the Sydney Tower Eye climb is restricted making their final preparations to climb a staggering 1504 stairs in the Sydney Tower Eye this Sunday, to operational firefighters, you too can take part in October 23 to raise funds for Motor Neurone the event by climbing 1504 stairs anywhere. For more information, visit #1504forMND at https:// Disease (MND) research.

Professor Dominic Rowe of Macquarie University’s MND Research Clinic said that finding a cure for MND is not just about money.

“We have two new clinical trials beginning this year. This is the first time we have had two trials in one year ever in Motor Neurone disease. We can do this because of our fundraising from last year,” he said.

MND patient and the inspiration behind the event, Adam Regal, said he was overwhelmed and deeply honoured by the event.

“Other MND sufferers and I firmly believe that what the firies are doing is a game changer – we are all hopeful for a breakthrough soon,” he said.

Bombala station commander, Captain Terry Lomas, said local crew members wanted to take part in the event to raise community awareness of the disease and to help raise money to go towards finding a cure.

“Each day, two Australians die from MND and another two are diagnosed with it.

Ninety per cent of patients die within three to five years of first experiencing symptoms.

The disease currently has no known cause or cure so research is urgently needed to help find some answers,” he said “Last year, FRNSW firefighters raised more than $180,000 to help continue that research. This year, we want to do our bit to help. We are very excited about taking part Bombala FRNSW Firefighters, Gordon Anderson and in the challenge.”

Throughout the journey, esCarpadians drive their animated automobiles (which must be at least 20 years old) through rural towns, stopping to lend a hand in local communities and visiting schools with Camp Quality’s Primary School Education Program to dispel common myths and misconceptions surrounding cancer.

Metastatic breast cancer support Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) has released a new edition of Hope & Hurdles, a free information resource for women and men living with metastatic breast cancer.

The free resource has been updated to keep up with treatment innovations and provide more personalised information to ensure people living with metastatic breast cancer have information that is relevant to them.

The new edition of Hope & Hurdles has been launched at BCNA’s free information forum in Sydney today, on Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day. Women living with metastatic disease attending the forum will be able to order the new edition of Hope & Hurdles from BCNA. There are thousands of Australians living with metastatic breast cancer and around 3,000 people every year will die of this disease.

Some women will find out they have metastatic breast cancer despite having had treatment for early breast cancer. For others, metastatic breast cancer might be their first diagnosis. Of the 15,600 Australians diagnosed with early breast cancer, statistics show that around one in 20 people will find out they have metastatic breast cancer as a first diagnosis.

Metastatic breast cancer occurs when the cancer spreads from the original site in the breast to another part of the body, such as the bones, liver, lungs and more rarely the brain.

BCNA CEO Christine Nolan said people living with metastatic breast cancer have different emotional needs from those diagnosed with early breast cancer.

“Women and men with metastatic breast cancer have much more complex treatment decisions to make and a poorer prognosis than those with early breast cancer, yet they tend to have less access to information and support specific to their individual needs,” Christine said.

“The new edition of Hope & Hurdles has new chapters that have been designed to better meet the individual needs of people living with metastatic disease, and includes dedicated chapters for young women, men and people who have received a metastatic diagnosis as their first diagnosis,” she said.

“If you are diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer as your first diagnosis, you are not only finding out you have breast cancer for the first time, you are also finding out you have a type of breast cancer that is incurable.”

Hope & Hurdles is available free of charge to anyone in Australia living with metastatic breast cancer and can be ordered at bcna.org.au.

Earlier this year BCNA commenced a free telephone counselling service for people across the country living with metastatic breast cancer. The counselling is provided by experienced oncology counsellors, and is also open to family members of people with metastatic breast cancer.

“We know that breast cancer does not just happen to an individual woman, it has a ripple effect on partners, children and other family members.

BCNA’s one-on-one confidential phone service aims to help people cope with a range of concerns they may be experiencing, such as anxiety about the future, concerns about their loved ones and financial pressures,” Christine said.

To make an appointment to speak with an experienced professional oncology counsellor call 1800 500 258 or email beacon@bcna.org.au.

Bombala High reunion

Bombala carers group For the month of September the Bombala & District Carers Group were treated to a tour of the ‘Auckland’ Homestead and garden along with a beautiful High Tea. It’s a wonderful home and garden so everyone was very excited to be treated to a tour. The weather wasn’t the best but they managed to escape the rain and wander around the garden.

As an extra surprise the group were invited to wander around another local garden just up the road at Pam Robert’s home, this garden was

equally as stunning. The Bombala & District Carers Group would like to thank Shirley, Helen, Cheryl and Pam for their hospitality.

The next get together is October 19th, this will be in the middle of Carers Week, so if you’re a Carer in the local community and would like to join us please phone the Bombala Community Services on 6458 4620.

The Bombala & District Carer’s Support Group is supported by financial assistance from the Australian & NSW Governments.

The Bombala High School class of 1996 got together for a 20 year reunion at the Globe Hotel on Saturday night, October 1.

The students were joined by former Principal, Bob Stockton and Year Advisor, Warwick Long for a casual evening of catching up and reminiscing.

Pictured left to right are - Travis Jones, Stephen Kimber, Rowan Reed, Anthony Moreing, Greta Lewis, Brad Wilton, Luke Kimber, Warwick Long (Year Adviser), Sam Tonks, Marsha Sten, Jamie Austin, Tim Gronow, Megan Filtness, Bob Stockton (former Principal), Kim Trudgett, Sam Sten and Mark Peisley.

Last Snowy Mountains Authority Reunion Picnic this year sense of society support in a temporary construction township.

It was Frank Rodwell, working in SMA’s Public Relations in Cooma in the 1980s, who was able to initiate the Cooma coach link to the Canberra Snowy Reunion Picnic, backed by the SMA management in Ron Dawson and later by Keith Montague. It was agreed that the inspiration and renewal arising from such events was a practical way to say thanks. The continued gift by Snowy Hydro today to provide coach transport from Cooma is greatly appreciated by all.

Home loan demand drops slightly Home loan demand fell slightly over the month of August, new data has revealed.

According to the latest data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 53,109 home loans were approved over the month of August – down 3% from 54,740 in July.

“It was not surprising to see a drop in the total number of home loans approved over the course of August as we were coming out of winter and the property market tends to be sluggish during that period,” Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said.

“However, with spring around the corner, we expect to see a pick-up in home loan demand, as more buyers and sellers enter the market.”

Approximately $31.4 billion in home loans were approved over the month of August – down 1% on July.

“Similarly the number of home loans written throughout the course of the month dropped 3%,” Mr Flavell said.

“This drop could largely be attributed to a fall in both the number of home

loans written for the purchase of new dwellings as well as the purchase of established dwellings.”

As per the ABS data, the number of home loans written for the purchase of new dwellings fell 0.4%, while the number of home loans written for the purchase of established dwellings fell 3.9%.

“It wasn’t all bad news however, with the number of home loans for the construction of new dwellings rising 3.7% over the course of the month,” he said.

Looking ahead, Mr Flavell said he expected to see a rebound in the level of home loan demand as the weather warms up.

“Spring is a notoriously hot selling season,” he said.

“This, combined with the fact that interest rates continue to sit at record lows, I would not be surprised to see an uplift in the number of home loan approvals between now and the end of the year.”

Act now to boost your super - Recent reforms a win for savvy farmers

By Julie Schofield, Boyce Chartered Accountants After months of uncertainty and intense lobbying, last week the federal government backed away from some of the controversial aspects of its superannuation reform.

It has now dumped plans to impose a $500,000 lifetime cap on non-concessional contributions and instead reduced the annual non-concessional cap to $100,000 from July 1, 2017, until an individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s balance reaches $1.6 million.

Treasurer Scott Morrison had superannuation front and centre in his maiden budget in May, announcing an immediate $500,000 lifetime cap on non-concessional contributions replacing the existing $180,000 cap and $540,000 three-year â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bring forwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cap.

Now, individuals have the ability to bring forward three yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of contributions to a single year, allowing them to contribute up to $300,000 a year.

This back down is a reprieve for those who plan to push more into their superannuation fund this financial year.

The window to make larger non-concessional contributions is now open for another nine months.

But the government has elected to retain the minimum work requirements on people over 65 wishing to make contributions to their superannuation even though the budget outlined this legislation would be abolished.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for primary producers to note the 2017 financial year may be the last opportunity for them to transfer substantial rural land to their

self managed super fund (SMSF) using the larger non-concessional caps.

Where individuals still have access to the threeyear â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bring forwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concessions they could make an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;in specieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; contribution of business real property into their SMSF up to the value of $540,000 a person or $1.08m a couple if under the age of 65.

From next July this will be reduced to $300,000/person or $600,000/couple using the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bring forwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; provisions where the contributions do not increase each individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s balance beyond $1.6m.

Superannuation is complex and getting the right advice is imperative because errors with contributions and structuring land in SMSFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s can have huge negative consequences down the track.

2017 Rural Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award

Just three weeks remain to submit applications for the 2017 RIRDC Rural Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award. This is one of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest honours for rural women.

It is a powerful program supporting women who aspire to lead positive change in rural industries and communities.

The Award has produced a networked alumnae of more than 200 rural women. It works to underpin and grow this dynamic and talented pool of rural leaders. Much more than just an award, it offers unique development opportunities, as well as access to a nation-wide network of business, community and industry professionals.

All state and territory winners receive a bursary of $10,000 to bring to life an idea benefiting rural Australia. The bursary can be used for a broad range of project ideas, including overseas study tours and developing pilot programs and community initiatives.

The national winner and runner-up, selected from the state winners, receive a further $10,000 and $5,000 respectively.

John Harvey, RIRDCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Managing Director, encourages industry and the community to get involved and nominate emerging rural leaders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This Award is an important avenue to recognise exceptional rural women from diverse backgrounds

who contribute in many different ways. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re community volunteers, farmers, business leaders and industry representatives,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Sophie Hansen from Orange, New South Wales was recently announced as the national winner of the 2016 RIRDC Rural Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award. Sophieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;My Open Kitchenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a unique online learning course. Sophie is assisting food producers to embrace the power of social media to share their food stories and better connect with their consumers.

Sophie is thrilled to be part of this life-changing experience saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Award celebrates inspiring women and the positive impact they have on rural industries, businesses and communities.â&#x20AC;?

The Award is an initiative of the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC) in partnership with the state and territory agencies responsible for agriculture, primary industries and resources. The Award is proudly supported by Platinum Sponsor, Westpac Agribusiness and media partners, RM Williams OUTBACK Magazine, ABC Radio and Fairfax Agricultural Media.

Crown land for the 21st century Sure-fire pasture improvement online information regarding Crown land, the committee recommended that the Department of Industry – Lands undertake a stocktake of all Crown land in New South Wale before any land is transferred to local government and undertake a digitisation project of maps that identify Crown land”.

“It became apparent that the community highly values the importance of Crown land, and they need to be meaningfully consulted on Crown land decisions. Consultation cannot merely be a PR exercise. For this reason we recommend the Government include in new Crown land legislation consultation methods based on the more robust provisions in the Local Government Act 1993” said Mr Green.

Mr Green stated: “The committee acknowledges the frustration caused by the backlog of Aboriginal land claims on Crown land and the impact this has on the economic sustainability of local Aboriginal land councils.

We are concerned that the Aboriginal Land Agreements pilot program designed to help address this issue is still yet to commence and therefore call on the department to prioritise the conduct and completion of the program with an evaluation to be made publicly available by the end of 2017”.

For further information about the inquiry, including submissions and hearing transcripts please visit the committee’s website at: www. parliament.nsw.gov.au/gpsc6.

Today, General Purpose Standing Committee No. 6 has released its report on Crown land in NSW. “This inquiry was about listening to the community and understanding their expectations in relation to Crown land use and management. Our recommendations seek to create a Crown land management system for the 21st century which is accountable to the people and puts checks and balances into place to consider the economic, social, cultural and environmental factors that must be taken into consideration” said the Committee Chair, the Paul Green MLC. “The Government will shortly introduce legislation to change the way Crown land is owned and managed in New South Wales. The committee made a number of recommendations to the Government to address concerns arising from key features of the proposed legislation. There are concerns that the transfer of Crown land to local councils will result in cost-shifting. Therefore, the Government should consider recompensing local councils for owning and managing the land. In addition, the committee recommended that legislative protections be introduced to ensure transferred land is retained as public land and managed in the public interest” said Committee Chair, the Hon Paul Green MLC. Mr Green then stated: “In order to provide the community with greater access to accurate

A timely, new guide to establishing perennial pasture offers producers strategies to improve feed supply in response to positive sheep and cattle market signals.

NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) development officer, Helen Burns, said the comprehensive guide gives producers proven steps to successfully grow vigorous, productive pasture, which will deliver a return on investment now and into the future.

“Producers who successfully establish perennial pasture will achieve a strong return from species which can cope with environmental stress, weed and grazing pressure and have the potential to persist for more than 10 years,” Ms Burns said.

“The trick is understanding the nature of perennial species, with an emphasis on forward planning and management up to two years before sowing and during the first year of pasture growth.”

DPI’s how-to guide has tips on paddock assessment, species selection, nutrition, weed and pest management, cover cropping and grazing management.

Ms Burns said many perennial pasture species have slow-growing, weak seedlings.

“Weed management, adequate soil moisture and accurate seed placement

will give these small-seeded plants the best opportunity to establish,” she said.

“It’s the basis of the 3As strategy developed by DPI’s Prime Pastures program – absolute weed control, adequate soil moisture at sowing and accurate seed placement.

Temperate perennial pasture establishment guide: Steps to ensure success has revisited the Prime Pastures’ checklist, with clear guidelines for the planning process, sowing and management.

Ms Burns said the structured approach will help producers identify constraints limiting establishment, which must be addressed on a paddock by paddock basis, well in advance of sowing.

“We encourage producers to compare the costs and benefits of re-sowing paddocks with the renovation of existing pasture,” she said.

“Fertiliser and grazing management strategies can successfully invigorate established pasture at a fraction of the cost of sowing new pasture.”

The new guide, which builds on years of proven research, ProGraze® and Landscan® with results from recent research, is available online www.dpi.nsw. gov.au

Pastoral order seeks 10,000 whiteface cattle for grass finishing A single pastoral order has been put out into the marketplace for 10,000 whiteface weaners for grass finishing to domestic trade

and bullock weights.

Landmark divisional livestock and stud stock manager, John Settree, Dubbo, said

the order from a single pastoral client was a result of a booming flush of feed across the pastoral regions.

Mr Settree said Hereford and Black Baldy steers weighing between 200 and 300kg liveweight, weaned or unweaned, were required to fill the order.

He said both well bred European Union and non-EU accredited cattle would be accepted.

“We will also handle heifers in larger lines,’’ he said.

“We have conditioned the vendor over the past month to six weeks with market feedback and prices comparative with market rates will be paid.’’

The cattle will be source from Victoria, NSW and southern Queensland in deck lots on a curfew basis or at the closest weighbridge.

Mr Settree said the pastoral order, which remains confidential, had potential to grow into 15,000 to 16,000 head.

He said store, prime and seedstock prices had been exceptionally strong in central and northern NSW this spring.

“I expect a softening period in the next six to eight weeks as a few more numbers come through from the drier regions,’’ he said.

“Store sales have been solid to date with the Herefords the king of grass.

“On the stud side, there is demand for the whiteface female.’’

Patagonia Belle wins Bombala Cup One of the biggest crowds for many years gathered in perfect sunny weather at the Bombala Racecourse on Saturday to enjoy six keenly contested races.

The feature race, the 2016 Dongwha Timbers Bombala Cup, was race five and saw nine horses jump from the barriers for the 1200 metre event.

Setting a solid pace, Rimu led McLennan and Chasing Charlie into the hill, the remainder in pursuit with Patagonia Belle about eight lengths back in last position.

As the frontrunners rounded the turn into the straight, Malizia, ridden by fledgling apprentice Harry Grace, took the short cut along the rail to take the lead only to be joined on the outside by the fast finishing Patagonia Belle, ridden by Aaron Sweeney.

This pair came away from the rest of the field and in a head bobbing finish, it was Patagonia Belle that prevailed by a nose margin.

Patagonia Belle is trained in Canberra

by Ron Weston and John Nisbet for R G Chapman, Mrs S M, D J, and Miss LA Cowie and the MFT Racing Syndicate. Malizia is trained at Cooma by Georgie Boucher whilst Chasing Charlie, who finished third, 2.1 lengths behind the winner, is trained at the Sapphire Coast by Barbara Joseph and Paul

Jones. The winner paid $8 for the win whilst the $2.80 fav, Opoho, finished fourth.

Race one on Saturday was the Wilton Logging P/L & Village Ford Maiden Handicap over 900 metres.

Local interest was in Darsha, trained by Anita Walder on the Bombala track, whilst her eight rivals had travelled from as far away as Pakenham in Victoria.

However, it was the Jack van Duren trained Iz Me Tonight, the outsider in the betting market at $31, ridden by Miki Nakao which came from back in the field to win by a half length margin from Cornwall Coast, ridden

by Chelsea MacFarlane for John Marzol from Moruya and with She’s The Ticket, Simon Miller for Darryl Rolfe, in third place.

Race two was the Monaro Wool & Schute Bell Maiden Plate over 1200 metres and had a field of eight runners. The Joe Cleary Queanbeyan trained Sunbite ($3.40), ridden

by Jason Devrimol, proved too strong for her rivals winning by 2 ½ lengths from Dream Vision, ridden by Aaron Sweeney and trained at Braidwood by Aaron Clarke. It was five lengths back to the third place-getter Lovely Sight, ridden by Chelsea MacFarlane for John Marzol. The winner is raced by John and Maree McRedmond along with James and

Karen Roddy from Tumut.

The Calabria Wines & The Monaro Post Benchmark 47 Handicap over 1400 metres was race three and had a field of seven.

The $3.40 favourite Smiling at Shadows, ridden by Simon Miller and trained by Barbara Joseph and Paul Jones at the Sapphire Coast, prevailed in a tight finish over The Imp, ridden by Miki Nakao and Ardimento was third. The winner is raced by a syndicate which includes Bombala locals Lou Joseph and Patricia Kimber.

The Bombala RSL Club & Landmark Benchmark 50 Handicap over 1100 metres was race four and saw nine horses head to the barriers.

After refusing to load, Unsinkable, who was favoured to win the event, was scratched leaving a field of eight and McGovern, ridden

by Shelley Walsh, starting as the $4.20 favourite. Travelling in second position on the rails until taking the lead at the 400 metres, McGovern proved too strong for the fast finishing Rushman to prevail by a length with Aidan Anthony coming third. The winner is trained at Queanbeyan by Tom Wilson for his brother Steven, Elliott Politch and the Meringo Stud Syndicate managed by Tony Hartnell.

The second and third place-getters are both trained at Moruya by James Curtis and

John Peiti respectively.

The Murphy’s Transport & Building Supplies & Lou Black Memorial Class 1 Plate of 1700 metres was the final event of the day and whilst it had a small field of four runners it still proved a well contested battle.

Trainer Grant Bobbin from the Sapphire Coast produced Impulse as the $1.90 favourite with Chelsea MacFarlane aboard, whilst the other main interest was in the Joseph and Jones trained Jackalope ridden

by Simon Miller. Jumping from the gates in front of the crowd, the four travelled in close quarters for the entire journey but it was Impulse who proved the victor by 1 ½ lengths from Jackalope and with Well Overdue in third placing. Impulse is raced by a group of owners including Bombala locals Norm and Wendy Wilton.

The Bombala & District Jockey Club is grateful to the sponsors, volunteers and those that attended to make the day such a success.

The Adaminaby Jockey Club will hold their annual race-meeting on November 19 whilst Cooma will hold the Sundowners Cup and Cooma Cup Meeting on December 3, 2016.

Otherwise, the Sapphire Coast will hold their next meeting on Boxing Day.

Fashions to the fore at Bombala Bright frocks and smart suits were donned all the more enthusiastically on Saturday as the area was blessed with a perfect day for the 2016 Bombala Races.

Locals could scarcely believe their luck as they donned hats and heels for the sunny country race meet, with a big crowd swarming in the gates to make the most of the day.

The Bombala and District Jockey Club was thrilled with the positive response to this year’s event, estimating numbers at

approximately 800 people, easily above the figures for 2015.

Whether they relaxed in style within the marquee or mingled between the bar, the bookies and the track, spirits were high amongst racegoers, with recent venue additions such as the big screen again proving popular.

Of course conditions were perfect for really glamming up this year, and this led to an impressive Fashions of the Field which was once again generously sponsored by Joseph

& Jones Racing.

Taking the glory for the juniors were Lola Tonissen and Joshua Murdoch for the 8 Years and Under, while Max Murdoch, Taylor Ventry and Maddie Parkes took out the 8 to 16 Years category.

Hayley Oldfield of Canberra was the stunning winner of the Open Ladies, with popular Ryan Ingram being voted the best in this category for the Men. Finally the Best Dressed Couple of the day were Chloe Murphy and Craig Bottom,

Above: Dongwha Timber representatives with Patagonia Belle, winner of the 2016 Dongwha Timber Bombala Cup.

Right: Monaro Wool and Schute Bell representatives David Platts Monaro Wool Bombala and Ben Litchfield Manager of Monaro Wool Cooma.

while the Lou Lou’s sponsored Best Hat or Fascinator also went to Hayley Oldfield.

Naturally the main action of the day was to be found out on the racecourse, however, with six exciting local races run and won before a cheering bunch of spectators.

In a crowd pleasing result, there were several wins with local connections, and both the bookies and tote van were kept busy right up until the end of the day, which continued to shine even as the last racegoers headed into town for further celebrations.

Giving Field and Game a go Clayton secures another record run It was a smaller turnout for the Cooma Field and Game â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Come and have a goâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; day this year. With fine weather and eager tutors, it was shame more didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come along for a shoot.

However less shooters meant more time was spent one-on-one with everyone getting a decent go with a gun. Instructors gave tips as to the correct stance and how to hold the gun.

No experience was required and the few happy shooters soon got the hang of the sport, with clay shattering left, right and centre. There

were four separate target stations so shooters were able to experience a range of clay target shooting at the Middlingbank range on Saturday.

If you missed out, the club holds a shoot on the third Sunday of each month, and new people are always welcome.

For more details, check out the Cooma Field and Game Facebook page or their website www. coomafieldandgame.org.

Pictured below, Instructor Ken Jones, Angela Bannister, Jussi Turpeinen, Michelle Wolfenden and instructor Richard Warner.

Under 15 athlete Brenna Clayton claimed another track record in the 1500m when she eclipsed Hayleigh Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; record of 6:24.44 mins in her first run over the distance with an excellent time of 5:47.38 mins.

Brennaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season has just begun and she has bettered two track records and one record in the field events, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still so early in the season.

With the season fully underway there were many top performances both on the track and in the field. With 26 athletes gaining 63.5 improvement performances (0.5 is equal to their PB) from the multi-event competition last week.

Under 12 Jordana Breden topped the field with four improvement points and under 12 Thomas King had 3.5 improvement points.

There are fantastic numbers in the younger age groups, and the older age groups are lacking the depth of previous seasons.

Chantelle Douglass, under 6 girl, ran 11.03 sec for the 50m (86% of the record), at her first run.

9.

J o s h u a Southam, under 10, is gaining ground on Max Boole in the 70m and is just over 5.5m behind Max at the moment, clocking 11.75 sec (89%).

10.

Lucy Thornton, under 13 girl, had a massive PB on the 100m track of 15.47 sec from last season (89%).

10.

N a t a l i e Revelant, under 11, started her high jump campaign where she finished off last season at 1m (76%).

A reminder that this week sees the start of the 200m hurdles for the older athletes and the walks for under 9 and over, so be there early please.

Jordan Davis represented the Snowy Mountains Christian School at the All Schools NSW Championships in Sydney last week.

Competing in three field events, Jordan placed third in the 14 years hammer throwing with a PB of 30.06m. He also competed in discus and shotput, but the standard of the other competitors was just too high on the day.

Runs plundered in local cricket in tough day for bowlers Dalgety v Berridale Both teams took to the field for a minutes silence to pay our respect to Bede Nichols who will be sadly missed. Dalgety won the toss and had no hesitation in batting first on the fast but borderline dangerous Dalgety ground.

Dalgety got off to a poor start really struggling against the new ball attack of Jack Parkyn 2/39 and James Cahill 1/36. Dalgety had slumped to 3/13 and were very nearly 4/15 when Simon Freebody (173*) was put down on 1. Bailey Rogers (35) and Freebody resurrected the Dalgety innings with a 50 run partnership. After the loss of Bailey Rogers, Aron Rogers (61) joined Freebody and the pair really got after the Berridale part time bowlers and put on 140 in quick time for the fifth wicket before Billy Small (1-18) got the wicket of Rogers to a well held catch by Bill Zammit. Freebody batting with the tail lifted the run rate once again finding the short boundaries at ease rattling up 26 fours and three sixes on his way to 173 not out. Mathew Crowley 29* helped Freebody get his big score the pair putting on 99 for the seventh wicket. Dalgety finishing on 6/344.

Berridale lost two early wickets to the bowling of L Tredwell (3/51), Berridale was looking a long way from 344 but some undisciplined wayward bowling from Dalgety let the Berridale team in with a small sniff of victory as Berridale raced to 2/72 off nine overs with Benjamin Hearn (40) and Brett Ryland (19) taking advantage of the short

pitched bowling and wayward line.

However even with Dalgety’s poor bowling performance Berridale’s young batting line-up just couldn’t get back in the game. Best bowling figures went to Bailey Rogers (3/50), highest run scorer was

sundries with an outrageous 64.

The match was played in fantastic spirit with both teams providing plenty of encouragement to the younger players of each sides.

and captain Simon Partell had no hesitation batting first under sunny skies at Berridale. Both sides were looking to go undefeated and it was Aussie getting off to a smart start removing both openers and the dangerous Timmy Gregson to have Jindy at a moderate 3/64 at drinks.

Some strong batting from Dale Cook (75) and the hard hitting Ben Paterson, (63) passing 50 for the first time in MDCA, gave Jindy the upper hand and combined with Chad Stevens (34*) to take Jindabyne to a competitive total of 9/237 with Aussie captain Kaeliff Khoury the pick of the bowlers taking 5/34 including three caught and bowled!

Aussie needed a positive start to chase down the total and Damien

Asanovski (22) and Brad Tonks (41) gave the Aussie the best possible start before both fell to great catches that would make a highlight reel at any level. Chad Stevens (3/31) and Tim Gregson (2/51) were brought into the attack and with good tight bowling swung the game back in favour of the Jindy boys until Khoury (64*) and Adam Asanovski (48) looked to get the

advantage with Jindabyne light for a fifth bowler. A key wicket to new boy Chad Stephenson (1/49) got the Tigers noses in front and Jindy managed to hang on for an 18 run victory.

Congratulations to both teams for another close contest played in great spirit!

Coffey’s v Peak View Jerangle Game was played in great spirit in a tough day for Monaro cricket.

Coffey’s finished 3/363 off 45 overs.

Damo Hayden 62, Zach Smith 58 but once again Sam Williams stole the show with 180 off about 70 balls. James Hayden was the pick of the bowlers for PVJ picking up a couple of wickets.

PVJ batted quite well to finish all out 172. Justin Locker with a quick fire 70 odd looked the goods.

Nathan Thompson finished with 5/19 for Coffey’s.

Jindabyne v Aussie Week two of the Monaro District association saw last year’s premiers Aussie take on a fancied Jindabyne side. Jindy won the toss

Monaro team selected for Burns Cup Cooma u14s win by 16 runs This weekend Cooma will play host to the prestigious Burns Cup to be held on the turf wickets at Rotary and Nijong ovals.

The Monaro District Cricket Association has thanked the support of major sponsors Coles, Mitre 10 and Ben Nielson Greens and Coring for their support in the lead up to the event.

They would also like to thank the hard work and commitment shown from volunteers so far in making sure the weekend will be a success.

The combined MonaroFar South Coast team was selected after a trial game on the weekend with Monaro losing in a close encounter.

The side will consist of: T.Gregson, S. Williams,

L. Rixon, N. Thompson, L. Redmond,(Monaro) L. Cooper, D.Jordon, A. Blacka, N. Heafield, A. Heafield, D. Mason, T. Thomas,(Far South Coast) J. Parkyn (Monaro,13th man)

The games will consist of South East play Goulburn at Rotary while South Coast take on Shoalhaven at Nijong.

Winners will play off for the Burns Cup and the losers will play for the Barry Templemann Shield.

The second round of the ACT Junior Cricket competition saw Cooma’s U14 team travel to Canberra to take on Ginninderra in a T20 match on Sunday.

Cooma took the ball first, with Colby McDonald and Remi Brademann opening the bowling.

Remi made the first break through in the fourth over, thanks to a catch taken by Jesse Eljuga. Remi finished the day with figures of 2/15 after three overs, after an outfield catch was taken comfortably by James Dyball.

A change in the bowling saw Jesse, Luke Fitzgerald and Luca Henderson taking the ball for a spell, with Luca sending the ball up for Tom Walker to take a stumping. Colby returned with the ball and was rewarded when a catch was taken by Matthew Rebus.

Colby finished his four over bowling spell with the impressive figures of 1/8. Matthew and Justin McDonald bowled the final overs for Cooma.

A very settled opening batsman for

Ginninderra was finally bowled out

by Justin in the 16th over. Jesse’s second catch of the day had Justin on a hat trick, however, solid defence by Ginninderra denied him a third wicket. Justin finished the day with figures of 2/13 off three overs.

Ginninderra finished their innings 6/73.

Cooma’s batting was opened

by Preston Hilless and James. A nasty ball in the thigh saw Preston leave the ground injured. Dyball followed shortly after, being caught in the fourth over. The new batting partnership of Justin and Matthew steadied the ship and they formed a solid 38 run partnership before Justin was bowled out on 17 and Matthew was caught on 18 soon after. Tom Walker took to the crease and scored 15 to help get Cooma over the line. Not out batsman were Preston on seven and Luca on two.

Cooma won by 16 runs, finishing their 20 over innings 5/89.

New courts catch the eye The Monaro from Monaro

The Bombala netball courts have taken on a new lease of life, with a Boco Rock Wind Farm Community Grant allowing for the facility to be resurfaced in recent weeks.

Bombala residents may have noticed exciting things happening at the local netball courts in recent weeks, with the fresh new look of the courts being hard to miss!

With financial help provided through a Boco Rock Wind Farm Grant, the local netball club has been able to upgrade the surface of the courts just in time for the start of the spring competition.

“With netball growing in Bombala over the last couple of years, it is great that we have been able to reward the players with the much needed improvements to our facilities,” a spokesperson said.

“A big thank you to Boco Rock Wind Farm for their generosity from the netball committee and all players, who greatly appreciate it. The courts look fantastic!”

Cooma Car Club president Robert Wolf, author Frank Rodwell, Noel and Anne Bedford and Rogan Corbett.

The man we can playfully blame for the mispronunciation of ‘Monaro’ returned to the scene of the crime last week.

Noel Bedford, who named the Holden Monaro car in 1967, stopped in Cooma with his wife Anne last Thursday on their way to the Monaro Nationals in Penrith. The couple were pleased to stop in at the Cooma Car Club to meet local car enthusiasts Frank Rodwell, Rogan Corbett and Robert Wolf.

Mr Rodwell has previously spoken to Noel about the story of naming the Holden Monaro and has included a chapter on it

in his book, ‘I Like Old Cars’.

Noel began work with General Motors Holden in the engineering drawing office in 1957. By 1967, Noel was involved in the design and technical styling of the Monaro, which was then known as ‘body style 37’.

“We were on a sort of second honeymoon trip and we stopped in Cooma,” recalled Anne, “We saw a sign that said Monaro County Council and it just clicked. Noel wouldn’t stop talking about it for the rest of the trip.”

Upon reporting the name

to his boss, Noel said that the word was pronounced ‘Monare-oh’. The name just seemed to suit the two door pillarless HK sedan and the team unanimously agreed to it.

The Holden Monaro was inducted into the Snowy Mountains-Monaro Hall of Fame at the Back to Cooma celebrations last year.

Noel and Anne were invited to accept the honour, however were unable to attend. They had the trophy with them last week to show at the Monaro Nationals over the weekend.

Delegate Pony Club puts young riders through their paces

The Delegate Pony Club welcomed 14 young riders to its October Rally, working on jumping, games practice, flat work and horse care.

A group of 14 young Delegate Pony Club riders enjoyed a glorious sunny day for their October Rally, splitting into two groups to undertake activities.

The juniors were kept busy with games practise, taking on mounted games in teams, negotiating obstacles, navigating around obstacles whilst holding objects, obtaining objects off witches hats low to the ground, transferring objects between containers, and mounting and dismounting correctly while holding objects.

They also learnt more about horse care, including identifying which brushes are for which purposes, correct techniques for

picking their horse’s feet up, and ways to stretch and warm up a horse prior to riding.

Finally they took on some jumping techniques, focussing on body position and control, which the juniors mastered very well as they went over the jumps.

For the seniors the day started out with some flat work, focussing on transitions, body position and horse movement.

Then it was onto jumping, again focussing on body position, control, direction and learning jumping etiquette.

The seniors also took on games practise, enjoying some mounted games in teams.

To finish up a great day the

juniors and seniors joined force, forming two teams to compete in further mounted games.

Thank you once again to Rowena Butterworth for instructing on the day.

The next rally is on November 6, leading onto the Delegate Gymkhana on November 27, 2016.

A reminder that everyone is welcome to attend rally days, even if you would just like to see what Pony Club is about. If you would like any further information on Pony Club please contact a local pony club member, attend a rally day or join us on Facebook at Delegate Pony Club.

Greyhound racing given one last chance The Member for Monaro John Barilaro said the NSW Government will give in principle support for greyhound racing to have one final chance in NSW, subject to industry agreeing to the strictest regulations in the country to clamp down on animal cruelty.

The Government has invited the RSPCA and greyhound racing industry representatives to join a Greyhound Industry Reform Panel, to be chaired by former Premier Morris Iemma, to determine the new regime. The Government will ask the Panel to consider: • Mandatory life bans and increased jail terms for live baiting; • Registering greyhounds for their entire lives; • An independent regulator with strong new powers to ensure accountability; and • Substantially increased resources for enforcement and prosecution as well as animal welfare.

The greyhound industry’s own commitments to having total lifecycle management, controlled breeding, zero tolerance for animal cruelty and eliminating avoidable injury will be the starting point for the Panel’s work.

Mr Barilaro said the Government had listened to community concerns

about the racing ban and the way it was implemented.

“It’s clear the community agrees we must put an end to the animal cruelty outlined in the Special Commission of Inquiry into the Greyhound Racing Industry – pure and simple,” Mr Barilaro said.

“But we underestimated the community’s desire to give the greyhound industry one last chance to reform.

“Based on the major shift in the industry’s attitude and commitments since the announcement of a ban, the Government believes it is fair to give the industry one last chance.

“I am well aware of the very real impact the ban would have on the good people in our community involved in this industry and its support industries.

“Greyhound racing will be subject to the toughest regulations in the country. It is now up to the industry to demonstrate its commitment and put this into action to reform for the benefit of all involved.”

Subject to the Panel’s recommendations, legislation would then be introduced early in 2017 to repeal the ban and deliver the new regime under which racing would operate.

The first meeting of the Cooma Swim Club was held last Wednesday with a meet and greet for old and new members as well as a guest appearance from Cooma’s Paralympian Josh Alford.

The kids enjoyed a swim and caught up with each other before getting an opportunity to

talk with Josh about his time in Rio. Josh also had some special swim caps which were raffled out to some of the kids on the night.

After Josh’s appearance swimmers were spoken to about what is expected of them on time trial nights

including reporting to window to be marked in and to pay, what to do when being marshaled, how to do starts and the general behaviour expected on the night.

Swimmers were also reminded that they must be accompanied by an adult.

Henry and Carol will once

again be on hand with their much appreciated BBQ Time.

Trials will commence this Wednesday and swimmers are reminded that they have to reach the required number of nights to be eligible for club awards at the end of the season.

Measuring the miles in Melbourne Local ladies competed in the Melbourne Marathon last weekend.

Hayley Caldwell, Debbie Moon, Jade and Carolyn Roach and Hannah Prior participated in the 10km second wave.

Harding heading for USA

Bill Elder Shield matches completed The Bill Elder Shield matches for October were completed according to schedule with some close and some not so close results.

Alby Marshall, Judy Locker and Paul Cannell took the lead with four shots on the third end against Mary Boller, Ken Rees and Denis Steinfort and kept going to lead 15/4 on 11.

They continued to lead the way with the only pause being four shots to Mary, Ken and Denis on 18 before Paul’s team went on with the job to win 22/13.

It was a similar start for Max Reeves, Bob Lahy and Leonie Snell to take a commanding 12/6 lead over Mick Mayhew, Max Butler and Roulie Steinfort on 10. This was increased to 19/9 on 13 when disaster struck and Mick, Max and Roulie scored four, six, four to take the lead 23/19. Six shots over the last two ends for Max, Bob and Leonie brought the game to a well deserved 25/25 draw.

Sometimes a match reaches a stage where one side looks to be out of it.

Such was the case when Peter Harris, Bob Douglass and Geoff Venables were well clear of John Vincent, Ron Wainwright and Jack Sajina after winning the first 11 ends and leading 14/0.

Over the remaining nine ends John, Ron and Jack outscored their opposition by 15 shots to five to just go down 15/19. There were 13 one shot ends in this match with 12 of them going to Geoff’s team, who also won 15 of the 20 ends played.

With just one more playing day in the event, the leading contenders to get their name on the Shield are; Geoff Venables (15 points +61 winning margin) next Max Butler (14 + 49) Peter Harris (12 +21 ½) Mary Phillips (10 + 19) Allan Crowe (9 +21) Leonie Snell (8 +22) Renate Winckel (8 - 6) .

Presentation Day will be at the December Christmas Day to which all are invited to enjoy a drink for which Peter will be happy to pay.

Congratulations to Peter Caldwell, Mark Buckley and Daniel Clough on winning the Triples at Bombala, after some anxious moments over the latter ends. It is congrats to the Cooma team in the Super Sixes in winning two of the three games played.

In Saturday’s Social Bowls, Renate Winckel and Denis Steinfort had an early battle with Daphne Buckley and Richard Nichols but trailed 8/12 on 13. A few winning ends put them in front 13/12, then dropped four to trail once more then recover for a well deserved 19/19 draw. Margherita Zasso and Geoff Venables were 9/9 with Jack Sajina and Terry Croker after 10 ends then went ahead 17/10 and 18/14.

Geoff and Margherita eventually won 19/18. Mary Obermaier played swinging lead for Mario Frezza and Mike Mannile and for Dawn Russell and Olga Jebbink. Mary must have been impartial as the scores were fairly even for most of the match.

Mary, Mario and Mike pulled away over the concluding stages to win 19/15. Maureen D’Amico, Ken Rees

and John Vincent did not follow the trend of previous scores when they went to the front 16/9 after 14 ends against Max Butler, Sergio Roncelli and Peter Marsicano and did not let up to win 22/14.

The Melbourne Cup is just round the corner and the ladies are organising the usual good day and it will only cost $20 to cover lunch and green fees or just lunch for $12.

It will be a great Day for all and dress is Mufti. You’ll even have a chance to win a little bit of cash in the sweeps on the Cup. Club Triples matches on Sunday produced some mixed results, some close some just the opposite. Max Butler, Peter Harris and Bob Lahy had a handy 11/4 lead on 10 against Ken Rees, Bob Douglass and Mike Mannile, then rubbed a bit of salt in to the wound with five shots on 11.

They went on to win 32/14.

Brian Seears, John Barnes and Daniel Clough were right on target to set up a 12/6 lead over Jack Sajina, Steve Lapham and John Schoon.

Trailing 12/19 with five ends to play Jack, Steve and John produced their best bowls and won 22/20.

Peter Caldwell, Don Jarvis and Mark Buckley dominated the early ends in their match with Mick Mayhew, Ron Wainwright and Geoff Venables to lead 17/3 at the halfway point. Mick, Ron and Geoff put a few shots on the board and with five shots on 19 were back in the game at 15/20.

They made up only one more shot for Peter, Don and Mark to win 23/19.

Ross Russell, Mel Storta and Wayne Lodge were in top form against Mario Frezza, Guss Mallamace and Ignazio Mondello to lead 17/5 on end 13. They went on to win 34/8.

The next round of matches in the Triples will be played on October 23 with the following matches. Peter Marsicano, Tony Gray and Paul Cannell v Peter Caldwell, Don Jarvis and Mark Buckley. John Vincent, Giulio D’Amico and Paul Schulz v Ross Russell, Mel Storta and Wayne Lodge. Allan Crowe, Rowan Venables and Darren Collins v Max Butler, Peter Harris and Bob Lahy. Semifinals will be played on November 5 and final next day November 6.

There were only four players for social bowls on Sunday. Giulio D’Amico and Renate Winckel scored five shots on end 11 against Darren Collins and Richard Nichols to give them a 16/7 lead and never let up to win 23/12.

Cooma snowboarding talent Jimmy Harding is set to make the trip of his young but promising career when he heads to the United States in the coming months.

To capitalise on the winter season in the US, Harding is hoping the trip will help him take the next step on his journey to snowboarding stardom.

For the teenager to make it overseas, Cooma Rural Supplies is calling on the community to help make this dream a reality.

The local business is helping the Harding family with fundraising efforts and to launch proceedings they have made a $200 donation towards his travel expenses.

After a breakout season on the slopes, Harding heads to the US in a bid to reach to his potential.

To do this, as much time on the snow is required, and by heading overseas for the Australian summer, Harding’s dream of making the Winter Olympics is one step closer.

Harding’s winter results indicate a young man with serious potential. Through hard work and expert coaching he finished second in the Mt Buller Slope Style Camp.

At the Regional Interschool’s Boarder Cross he claimed top spot before impressing in the National Interschool’s event where he came seventh. On the half pipe in the Australian Junior Series he wowed onlookers to finish fourth.

Not only has Cooma Rural Supplies helped out with their donation but their 2017 calendars will be $5 this year with all proceeds going towards Harding.

Donations of any amount to Harding can be made to James Harding through cheque or via Cooma Rural Supplies, and any amount greater than $100 receives an exclusive cap designed by Harding.

Local car collector Tony Nassar will be debuting his extremely quirky 1958 BMW Isetta ‘bubble microcar’ at the Melbourne Motorclassica.

At 2.29m long and 1.37m wide, the Isetta is something to behold on the road beside the large cars of today.

With a bubble-like appearance, the entire front half of the car hinges open, including the steering wheel, for the driver and single passenger to access a small bench seat.

All Isettas were also fitted with an escape hatch – a sunroof.

Tony imported the export model Isetta to Australia in 2010 and is responsible for around 60 percent of the restoration doing all of the electrical and mechanical work as well as adding a fresh coat of paint.

The car is one of nine known to be in Australia and is famous around the Cooma and Canberra region haven taken out some impressive prizes at various car competitions.

The Isetta’s first showing was at Phillip Island in the BMW Nationals six years ago where it won first prize in its category as well as people’s choice.

It was also awarded first place in the 1939-1964 category at the National Trust Centenary of Canberra Rally, based on quality of age.

For the past five years in a row, the Isetta display.

It has also taken out the people’s choice has finished first or second place at the German Autofest held in Canberra on the award every year in the German Autofest.

“Of all the cars I have and collect, from foreshores of Lake Birley Griffin, and won best in show in its first and third year on the fire truck to the Amphib (amphibious vehicle), this little bubble has won more than any vehicle,” Tony said.

“Due to its uniqueness it appeals to all age groups from the younger generation to the elderly generation.

They all stand around and go ‘wow look at this car’”.

Scheduled for October 21-23 at the Royal Exhibition Building and adjacent grounds, Motorclassica has firmly established itself as this country’s only internationally-significant exhibition of rare and exotic, historic, vintage, veteran, classic and collectable cars and motorcycles.

Filling the halls and grounds will be more than 500 cars and motorcycles, as well as automotive memorabilia, artwork, models and other collectibles over the course of the three days.

Tony has attended the Motorclassica with his Mustang and Amphib but this year the Isetta will make its debut to help celebrate 100 years of BMW car vehicle manufacturing.

The car will be representing the Cooma Car Club as well as the Canberra region BMW Car Club and will be the pin up for BMW as the company celebrates 100 years.
