Stock theft on Varelle says goodbye after 16 years the rise across the Monaro Police are currently investigating several claims of stock theft across the Monaro region.

With an increase in incidences of stock theft, particularly sheep in recent months, police are urging

farmers to check their stock numbers.

Varelle Carlson and some of the staff on her last day at Sir William Hudson Memorial Centre.

Sir William Hudson’s nursing home said goodbye last week to their Deputy Director of Nursing, Varelle Carlson.

Varelle moved to Cooma with her husband Kevin 30 years ago. Starting at Sir William Hudson as a registered nurse in February 2000. She became the Deputy Director in 2005. Varelle said she enjoyed the position as it gave her a mixture of management and of hands-on nursing.

At the age of 17, Varelle said she was trying to decide what career to pursue.

Originally thinking of teaching, but after some prayer she felt she was being led

to nursing and has no regrets in that choice. “I have really enjoyed working at Sir William Hudson,� says Varelle, “The residents and the staff have a very special bond. The staff really take the time to get to know the residents and go above and beyond for them. It is usually just little things bringing in flowers from their garden for them, or their favourite biscuits and other gifts from their own pocket.�

Although Varelle says it can be a very difficult job, and the staff are always very sad when a resident passes away, they

Cooma Gift Card - Keep it Local Big winners at club draw

Last week Brad Graham and Justin Smith from WLT (Why Leave Town promotions) were in Cooma activating the new Cooma Gift Card. They are pictured with Suzanne Dunning at Cooma Visitors Centre.

The Cooma Chamber of Commerce has now implemented its Cooma Gift Card. The back end of the eftpos style gift card is run by “Why Leave Town Promotions” and Justin Smith and Brad Graham were in Cooma last Thursday and Friday to activate the participating stores. Suzanne Dunning, Cooma Chamber Committee member assisted Justin and Brad in ensuring the program was up and going and ready by Friday afternoon.

There are nine locations where you can buy the gift card and they can have a value of $20 up to $1,000. The cards can be redeemed at participating Chamber member businesses of which there are currently 37.

“We are delighted with the number of businesses who have come on board for our Cooma Gift

Cooma Ex-Services Club had some very happy customers last week, when the major draw was conducted.

Pictured above: Kade and Becky from the club with Lindsay Reynolds and Shane Fenech who won $250 off their power bill.

Below: Patricia Hansen won a 4x7 heavy duty trailer with registration, a full load of wood, plus a Husqvarna chain saw.

Card launch” President of Cooma Chamber of Commerce, Kathy Kelly, said, “and we will be happy to add more businesses to the list, as it creates an even better offering”.

The gift card is a great option for Mother’s Day as the card can be redeemed at any participating business and does not need to be spent in one spot or in one go. The Cooma Ex-Services Club, a major sponsor of the program, intend to use it for club prizes which will be great for their patrons to have choice but still keep it local.

“It is thanks to the generosity of Snowy Hydro and the Cooma Ex Services Club that the cost of implementing the program has been met and there are no costs passed on to either retailers or to those purchasing the card” Kathy said.

Improved performance at hospitals NSW Hospitals including those within the Monaro continue to perform at a high standard despite a record demand on emergency departments, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro said.

The latest Bureau of Health Information (BHI) Hospital Quarterly report found emergency department presentations across the state reached an all-time high of more than 660,000 in the October to December 2015 quarter - 11,900 (or two per cent) more patients than the same time in 2014 and the highest level ever reported by the BHI. On average, 900 more patients arrived in emergency departments every week, compared to the same period in 2014.

Overall, more than 465,000 people were admitted to NSW hospitals - an increase of one per cent and the highest level ever reported by the BHI. “NSW hospitals continue to deliver high-quality and timely care, with 74 per cent of patients leaving emergency departments within four hours - a vast improvement from the result of 60 per cent at the end of 2010,” said Mr Barilaro.

Mr Barilaro said BHI data indicates an improvement in emergency department and elective surgery performance at hospitals across the Southern NSW Local Health District.

“At the end of 2015, patients requiring

urgent elective surgery received it 99 percent on time compared to 93 per cent on time at the end of December 2010,” Mr Barilaro said.

“Emergency department performance also saw an increase across the region with a decrease in waiting time by ten minutes for emergency category patients.

“I congratulate Southern NSW Local Health District hospitals for their performance improvements.”

Senior Jindabyne students and Navy in ANZAC day services Senior students from Jindabyne’s schools and members of the Royal Australian Navy’s 723 Squadron will play important roles in this year’s Jindabyne ANZAC Day commemorations.

This year will see 10 or so sailors from 723 Squadron plus two AS350 Squirrel helicopters and their crews, led Lieutenant Ben Martin RAN, participate in the Jindabyne services.

Lieutenant Jason Hobbs RAN, 723 Squadron is the Commemorative Speaker at the Jindabyne Main Service and the helicopters, in conjunction with the Jindabyne Aero Club, conducting a flypast.

Olivia Tiele, a Jindabyne Central School (JCS) Year 12 student, will deliver the Commemoration address on the Theme of Anzac at the Dawn Service.

Another JCS Year 12 student, Mikayla Levis, will offer the Prayer of Thanksgiving at the Main Service.

Snowy Mountains Grammar School (SMGS) School Captains, Kate Hobbs and Samuel Weston will offer the Prayer of Commemoration at the Main Service.

Local identity, Mr Richard Crispin, will recite the poem “The Horses Stay Behind” at the main service.

Olivia Tiele Olivia endeavours to convey the tenacity, fellowship and perseverance that she sees within our fallen and striving soldiers of today. Following the Higher School Certificate, she aspires to pursue her intrinsic goal of studying Veterinary Science. During her senior years, she has been involved within the debating team, competing at regional level. Also, as a recipient of the Victor Chang Science Award, it is her desire to advance the innovation of science and technology within the veterinary field.

To her, ANZAC has a spirit that carries with it the courage, strength and heroism that encapsulates the very essence of our national culture and makeup. With this, she considers that we as a nation should pride ourselves in such virtues to acquire a timelessness that guides and reassures

us through the ever-changing times. She considers ANZAC Day is not a place that you return to, or a book you can leaf through, or the face of our heroes in uniform. It is her belief that it is the spirit that lies in us all, as Australians.

Mikayla Levis Mikayla’s areas of study include Modern and Ancient history, Japanese, Advanced English and Society and Culture. Out of school, she has been doing classical ballet for 12 years. She has always attended ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day ceremonies. Whilst she accepts that war has always been apart of our country and the world, it has never sat right with her and she believes that ANZAC Day should always be a significant ceremony, among all communities.

Kate Hobbs Kate is a dedicated student and athlete who always strives to do her best. She has enjoyed public speaking and debating competitions as well as representing the school at cross country running, athletics, netball, swimming, mountain biking and skiing. Kate is passionate about alpine skiing, competing at a FIS level. As much as her personal achievement are rewarding, Kate finds helping and encouraging others just as rewarding. She always tries to participate in all facets of school life.

ANZAC day has always been very important to Kate and close to home. It has been very humbling for her to visit her great, great uncles grave at Villiers Bretonneux and her great uncles grave in Avant Les Marcilly. Not only was it special to visit both these graves but it was moving to visit the thousands that lay row upon row, all of whom sacrificed their lives for the freedom we take for granted today.

The soldiers who lay beneath these graves were the ones who truly founded the meaning of ‘ being Australian.’ Their bravery, loyalty, courage and humility still lives on, shaping who we as a nation today.

I would like to remind businesses and residents of Berridale and Jindabyne, that Council will be undertaking resealing works in the Jindabyne Old Town Centre car park (Thursday 21 April) and Berridale Highdale Centre car park (Friday 22 April) this week. As these works will require closure of the car park areas I ask residents to plan ahead for the closures.

Council continues to work towards delivering the aspirations of our community whether it be through our roads maintenance program or the development of plans identified through community consultation. For example the Jindabyne Action Plan, which was created with the help of the community in 2009.

The Snowy River Avenue was one area identified in the Jindabyne Action Plan, in need of a functional and aesthetically pleasing revamp.

Council’s Strategy Plan Unit has been out over the past few weeks consulting with our community on the draft concept design for the avenue.

While the draft concept design addresses the need for improved safety and provides an interactive precinct to accommodate growth. The purpose is to reinforce the central area of Jindabyne as a focus for community and commerce.

Benefits of the concept design also include; upgrade of storm water, enhanced outdoor dining and trading, improved parking for disabled and access for all abilities, safer and increased public footpath area. We have the opportunity to use new products such as ‘Bi-Pave’, which allows for good traction underfoot and is frost resistant to cope with our harsh winter conditions.

I would like to thank everyone who participated throughout this process. Your feedback and comments will now be taken into consideration in the development of the final design that will be presented to council.

Red my Lips - campaign against sexual violence

Pictured above left: All the attendees at the Red My Lips event last week, wearing red to draw attention to the issue. Right: SNSWLHD’s Jacqueline Cope, Bronnie Taylor, MLC and Monaro Domestice Violence Committee President Caroline Coles all gave talks on the day to debunk myths surrounding sexual violence and outline services available.

To promote awareness surrounding sexual assault, the Monaro Domestic Violence Committee hosted the Red My Lips event at The Hub last week.

Participants were invited to wear red lipstick or red clothing to send a message of solidarity and support for survivors of sexual assault.

With guest speakers Bronnie Taylor, MLC and Southern NSW Local Health District’s Jacqueline Cope, the event was well attended.

Mrs Taylor discussed her experience as a woman making her way in the world and as her experience as a health worker.

Ms Cope outlined the changes to

the response sexual assault victims receive when they present at emergency departments. Ms Cope’s role is the Coordinator of the Integrated Violence, Abuse and Neglect Crisis Service.

This includes child protection counselling services, the JIRT Senior Health clinician, child protection and domestic violence routine screening educator, Out of Home Care Health Pathways program and specialist sexual assault services.

The service will offer a coordinated psychosocial and forensic medical response to all presentations across the district utilising both face to face and telephone delivery.

Southern NSWLHD sexual assault services are based in Bega Valley, Eurobodalla, Goulburn, Yass, Queanbeyan and here in Cooma.

These services provide: • Crisis and ongoing counselling for all children and adult victims and their nonoffending family members. • Information and options about medical care, reporting the assault to the police, court preparation and support. • Access to specialist medical care and forensic examinations. • Community education and group work programs • Training and consultancy to other

professionals Ms Coles said that the Monaro Domestic Violence Committee were encouraged by the turn out from the community for the event. “It was a great way to interact with people,� she said, “There were some good questions, discussions and sharing of experiences and stories that were really very powerful.�

She said there was also a good representation of services there, allowing members of the public to have face to face communication about what services are available in Cooma.

New operators in charge of the Cooma Hotel How many times have you and your best mate dreamt of running your own pub together? Well Dave and Mik are finally living the dream.

Best friends for many years, Dave Skow and Mikyla Gater are both from Wagga Wagga.

Buying the business from Alex and Effie Tsarpalias, who still own the building, Dave and Mik are excited to be in Cooma and for the new challenge ahead on their 25 year lease.

Having looked hard for the last couple of years across southern NSW and northern Victoria, Dave and Mik were looking for the right pub. They fell in love with the Cooma Hotel and love the fresh renovations.

Dave has a background in real estate but he grew up in a pub, and Mik has years of experience in hospitality and has been the manager of pubs.

So far they are settling in well to Cooma.

“It’s such a pretty town,” says Mik, “The people have been great, very welcoming and friendly. They have already shown us a lot of support and have been good fun.”

With a new chef from Canberra, the menu is having an overhaul.

With the quality pub classics like schnitzels and steaks remaining, there will also be some fresh and exciting new specials to try. A two for $30 meal will be run all day, every day, providing you with great value every time you visit.

Keeping on the majority of the existing staff, some of Effie and Alex’s family have left spaces available and so they are having a bit of a recruitment drive.

Mik and Dave are keen to hire locals to join their team.

Dave and Mik are looking to settle in and identify what the Cooma community wants and needs, and in terms of entertainment at the Cooma, watch this space.

Raising Money for the McGrath Foundation

Cooma-Monaro Shire Council is pleased to announce that they will be raising money for the McGrath Foundation in honour of the late Jane McGrath who would have been celebrating her 50th Birthday this coming May. Cooma-Monaro Shire Council will be planting a lovely light pink rose bush on Monday 2 May 2016 at 11am at Yallambee Lodge by Mayor Dean Lynch and members of the Council.

Cooma’s Local Breast Care Nurse, Fiona Cooper, will also be in attendance. The planting of the rose bush will followed by a staff fundraiser in which Council staff will be dressing in something pink and donating money to the charity.

‘This charity is a brilliant way to support Breast Care Nurses across the country and to raise awareness of this deadly disease. We’ve all been touched by Breast Cancer in some way and it is essential that we all have access to highly qualified nurses to give the physical and emotional support that patients need to get better. It’s also important for their families to know that the sufferers have support’, said Mayor Dean Lynch.

It has been reported by the McGrath Foundation that it costs around $380,000 to provide a Breast Care Nurse in one position for three years.

Cooma-Monaro Shire Council calls on members of the community to help generate awareness and provide a donation by going to www.mcgrathfoundation.com.au or calling 02 8962 6100.

The Cooma Mature Mob visits Jindabyne, Wild Brumby

What a day of Fun, Friendship and Education!

To kick-off Mobbers enjoyed a delicious morning tea and schnapps tastings at Wild Brumby Distillery Jindabyne, while learning about the fruit processing into the delicious schnapps!

The fog revealed a beautiful day in the mountains and folk enjoyed the lovely surroundings at Wild Brumby Distillery.

Jindabyne CWA provided a scrumptious lunch of Soup, Sandwiches, Tea/Coffee, Cakes and Slices and the warmth of reception was well received.

Then it was a drive into the National Park through the beautiful mountains to Thredbo.

Glen Dawes, Snow Making Controller greeted the Mob at the big green shed at Friday Flat. He and his colleague explained in detail

the snow-making process midst the huge pumps, pipes, compressors and computers and provided the Mobbers with a wonderful overview of the procedure. All agreed, they would certainly be thinking of Glen and staff in the noisy surroundings this winter when hearing of snow-making at Thredbo!

The next Mature Mob outing is to the Coast!

Broadwater Oysters Working Farm Talk/Tour, Lunch at Pambula CWA, and a Talk/Tour at Sapphire Coast Historic Vehicle Club Thursday 2 June.

Contact Heather (6454 4305) for bookings maturemob@coomaanglican.org.au Mature Mob is an Initiative of the Anglican Parish of Cooma Heather Jauncey MM Coordinator

Last Thursday, after a morning looking around the Wild Brumby Distillery, 53 members of the Cooma Mature Mob made their way back to the Jindabyne Memorial Hall.

They had come for lunch.

Inside the CWA catering team were waiting. The tables were laid and the tea urn was boiling. Two different types of soup were simmering away – pumpkin and chicken and sweetcorn.

Plates of sandwiches sat on the decorated tables. It was a coolish sort of April day which had whetted everyone’s appetite and so an orderly queue (the Mature Mob are a courteous group!) quickly formed beside the soup buffet.

Just as quickly, the Jindabyne CWA catering team refilled the soup tureens! Happily, because they are led by the very astute Lorraine Phillips, there was plenty more in the kitchen. “Gee, this is a great lunch� more than one visitor was heard to

enthuse. Once the first course had ben dispensed with, out came beautiful cakes, slices and biscuits for desserts – just in case any of the Mature Mob were still hungry for more!!! In keeping with the Jindabyne CWA tradition, each guest was given a little gift on their way

back to the bus.

It seems everyone left happy.

The Cooma guests because they’d enjoyed their meal and the Jindabyne CWA team because they love what they do best.

Bombala and Delegate Anzac Day Bombala The Bombala Cenotaph will again be surrounded by local residents and visitors on Monday, April 25 as both the Dawn Service and the 11am commemoration are observed.

The Bombala RSL Sub-Branch will again welcome a series of special guests to town for the day, including a Catafalque Party and a piper from the Australian Defence Force Academy, as well as contingents of both the Australian Navy and Air Force.

Many of these visitors are very pleased to be returning to Bombala after participating in previous local Anzac Day services, and it is hoped that a large crowd comes together to make them welcome.

In a very special addition to the Dawn Service this year, three members of the 7th Light Horse Bemboka Troop will also be in attendance, led by Captain Gary Berman.

Proceedings will begin with this moving Dawn Service at 6.15am blessed by Reverend Robert Lindbeck, followed by a hot breakfast at the Bombala RSL Club for all of those who attend the early ceremony.

The community will then gather at the Bombala Cenotaph just prior to 11am for the central commemoration, with the Anzac Day March being applauded by the crowd as it makes its way down the main street.

Here the Sub-Branch invites family members of passed servicemen and women to take part in the march, wearing their medals on the right hand side for the ceremony.

Leading the march will of course be our exservicemen themselves, along with Defence Force personnel, local groups such as the SES and fire brigade, school children and many others.

The public is also invited to lay wreaths during the commemoration, which will feature addresses, readings and prayers from Sub-Branch members, Padre Lindbeck, and the student president of the Bombala High School, Adam Rodwell.

The Rotary and Community Choir will lead the hymns and the national anthem during the ceremony and, continuing tradition, a bugler will sound The Last Post and Reveille.

Anzac Day is always honoured as an important occasion in Bombala, and all are encouraged to join the local commemorations on April 25 to pay their respects and perpetuate the treasured Anzac spirit.

Delegate Delegate’s Dawn Service will commence at 6am at the Memorial Gates, with piper David Mitchell adding to the atmosphere of the early ceremony with the haunting cry of the bagpipes.

A hot breakfast of egg and bacon rolls will be shared on the Delegate Hotel veranda afterwards, with proceeds to go to the Delegate RSL Sub-Branch.

The Anzac March will leave the Cenotaph at 10.45am, with those wishing to take part urged to gather by 10.35am for the march to the central Commemoration at the Memorial Gates beginning at 11am.

Will Horton will play the role of piper for this service, and locals will be joined this year by members of the Patriots motorcycle club, which is made up of current and ex-serving members of the military.

Students of the Delegate Public School will also march, as well as delivering readings at the service, while Russell Jamieson of the Bombala High School will deliver the Commemorative Speech.

The community is urged to lay wreaths during the 11am commemoration.

An official Anzac Day lunch is shared at the Country Club, although this has already been booked out, so those who have not secured their place can purchase lunch at the local cafe or hotel.

And we must not forget the much loved games of two-up on Anzac Day! Two-up will be played at the Country Club from around 2pm and at the Delegate Hotel in the evening.

Help needed to purchase engine Rotary trivia night There was plenty of head scratching going on at the Bombala Golf Club last Saturday night, with the Rotary Club of Bombala hosting a challenging Trivia Night.

Fortunately the brain straining was balanced out with plenty of laughter, with seven tables of participants enjoying the night as they pondered the questions put to them by Rotary President, Jak Cuttle.

Along with scribbling down answers the group enjoyed a few novelty activities, and there were a number of giveaways to keep the charity night rolling.

Capping off an enjoyable evening, the winning teams chose to combine all of their prize money for one big donation to the Southern Monaro Community Fund, so everyone was a winner - even the wooden spooners!

The community’s help is needed to purchase and return to the town the original Crossley Engine that drove Bombala’s first power station.

The Bombala Historic Engine and Machine Society is very excited about the opportunity to purchase and transport back to its rightful place the original Crossley Engine that drove the power station when the town was first connected to electricity.

“We estimate we need in the vicinity of $15,000 to make this happen, so we are asking local businesses, local families and individuals to donate to this cause by offering donations in return for nameplates that will be proudly displayed on a large board near the engine upon completion of restoration,” BHEMS President, Barry Crouch said.

The group is offering brass nameplates for $300, silver for $200 and bronze for $100. Of course any smaller donations will also be gratefully accepted.

“This is a terrific opportunity to be a part of Bombala’s history going into the future,” Barry said.

“In talking to a few people about the Crossley

engine, I was informed that Paddy Lomas’s first job after leaving school was working at the power station. As we all know Paddy went on to be a local business owner and Mayor of the town, what a great historical connection for the Lomas family to have with the Crossley engine.”

Barry is confident that many other local families will have similar connections, making the successful purchase of the engine a special one for the community.

If you feel you can help with the effort to purchase the Crossley engine and return it to Bombala, please donate to the BHEMS by cheque or money order to PO Box 225, Bombala, 2632, or by direct debit to its National Bank account BSB 082467 A/c 675357104.

For further inquiries, please contact Barry on 6458 3091 or 0438 413 000.

Bombala’s lovely autumn hues The region is awash with autumn colour at the moment, and locals and visitors alike are loving it!

There have been many favourable comments on the picturesque scenes unfolding around the Bombala River, with the walking track along the river proving more

popular than ever.

A number of visitors staying in the Bombala Caravan Park along the river banks have given high praise for the beautiful changing foliage, one traveller saying that the colourful display could in itself be a drawcard to the area.

There were seven tables of participants taking on the challenging Rotary Trivia Night at the Bombala Golf Club.

the

postman calls

The Shannon’s Flat community certainly rallied around their hall for its 70th birthday last Saturday.

Halls like this have been the focal point of many of our local communities for many generations – it’s good to see them still being used.

With all the history about the hall, it was interesting to hear Cooma’s mayor, Dean Lynch attributing his presence to his parents meeting at the Shannon’s Flat Hall, possibly enjoying a Gypsy Tap or two.

It was also good to see the Happy Wanderers strutting their stuff on stage, as they have done for many years.

All the hall really needs now is an improved access – that road sure has deteriorated in recent years. What a great infrastructure project that could be for Federal and State Governments to get involved with.

Speaking of the State Government – it is really anyone’s guess what is happening with the proposed ‘mergers’. Latest information suggests councils earmarked for ‘voluntary’ amalgamation may soon be dissolved and controlled by an administrator prior to a 2017 election.

Depends on what the Feds do.

Rafferty is still ruling, it seems…!

ABC senate inquiry submissions Editor, I am writing to let you know that The “current in session” Senate Inquiry into the ABC’s Rural and Regional Broadcasting, i.e., ABC RADIO now has five submissions detailing the inadequacies in ABC radio reception across the three shires , Cooma Monaro, Snowy River and Bombala within the Eden- Monaro Electorate The purpose of this bill is to amend the ABC’s Charter in relation to the delivery of services to rural and regional Australia in each State and Territory, and it seeks to define the Corporation’s mandate for its public service function for journalism in rural and regional Australia.

To access the submissions “On Line” on the web go to the following 1. www.aph.gov.au 2. Select SENATE COMMITTEES 3. Select Environment and Communications 4. Under Current Inquiries Australian Broadcasting Corporation Amendment ( Rural and Regional Advocacy) Bill 2015 5. RHS Submissions The submissions relating the Inadequacies of the ABC 1602 AM 50 watts radio transmitter tower at Polo Flat Cooma to cover the WHOLE of the three shires on the Monaro are.

Riposte Lisa Ashurst I may not have mentioned this before, but Daughter is raising caterpillars. Those fluffy ones that one sees from time to time around the garden and which people mistakenly think are eating their plants; they aren’t though because they only eat grass.

Anyway, she has a web page about her breeding success with them and they are cute and when they turn into moths she sets them free at my place as the caterpillars came from here originally. Anyway, the females get together with the males, lay their eggs and the tiny babies pop up all over the place here, which is all fine and lovely, but only up to a point. The issue I have with them is that I know they are there. In the grass that I am about to mow.

As it is, I have had an issue about mowing ever since Daughter told me that that lovely “just mown” smell is actually the grass crying out for help and now I have the added thingy that there are baby caterpillars in amongst all that long grass that is overdue for a cut and I’m almost a train wreck!

Why does yard work have to be so emotionally charged? Crying grass is one thing but knowingly killing baby caterpillars…? They may not be puppies or kittens but they are fluffy, and quite cute in many ways.

It’s possible though that I can get around this dilemma. For starters,

No.17, Mr Ian McCordindale, No.20, Hon Gary Nairn, No.24, No.24, Numeralla & District Activities Inc. No.28, Mr Robert McLeish, No.29, Mr Brian Curzon If you wish to view these submissions click on the submission square and open the submission The Mr Brian Curzon submission might take a 2-3 minutes to download because of the size of the files If you wish to contribute with a submission of support for any or all these submissions or your own experience submission Email to ec.sen@aph.gov.au Subject: Australian Broadcasting Corporation Amendment (Rural and Regional Advocacy) Bill 2015 SUBMISSION Dear Secretary Christine McDonald Example: I wish to support the submission/submissions of the above No. xxxxxxxxxxxxx Name , Address, Ph. No. Mob No, Your support COULD show the Senators and the ABC we have a very serious problem on the Monaro if for no other reason than to be able to hear EMERGENCY BROADCASTS IN OUR HOMES until we have a new 4000-5000 watts ABC 1602 AM radio transmitter Brian Curzon Cooma Residential Rural Resident

the grass apparently doesn’t cry for too long as it does eventually come to the realisation that being mown is really not such a bad thing. In fact, a whiz over with the lawnmower is actually good for it but I can’t imagine caterpillars coming round to the same conclusions, especially not if they are dead. But I do remember now (thank heavens!) that Daughter told me they tend to spend the daylight hours down close to the roots to protect themselves from the sun. Well that’s very sensible of them!

But it’s also a blessed relief because as long as I don’t have the mower set on ultra low then the chances of chopping them to pieces ranges from very slim to non existent and I can’t even begin to describe how thankful I feel about that. Especially seeing as I’m one of those types who catches the crawlies that come into the house and releases them back into the garden, who doesn’t indiscriminately stomp on things, who saves beetles and moths and things from drowning in the pet water bowl and who generally respects the rights of other living things to share the planet with me.

And like I said, these fluffy caterpillars are very cute!

So I can get out there and mow with a clear conscience now, safe in the knowledge that I am not committing an act of mass death, or whatever you would call something like that. Except that after the mower comes the brush cutter. It trims awfully close to the ground…

Uh oh.

Cooma North School leaders with the special guests at their ANZAC ceremony last week.

Due to the school holidays, Cooma North Public School commemorated Anzac Day early. A special ceremony was held in the school hall last Friday, including the Last Post, the Ode of Remembrance and performances from Jay Podger and the school choir.

Special guests at the ceremony included Citizen of the Year Kaye Anderson of the CWA, Cooma-Monaro RSL President Peter McMahon, Member for Monaro John Barilaro, Councillor Winston Phillips.

Mrs Anderson spoke to the children about the important role that women played during the war. She said that with the men going away to join the

army, it was left to the women to fill the positions they left in the workforce.

Many worked in factories, on farms and in offices in order to keep the country running in the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absence.

They also provided food and camouflage garments to be sent to the soldiers.

Principal Belinda Jamieson said that she was very proud of the respect shown by the students of the school in

remembering our fallen soldiers, whose lives were cut short in their sacrifice to provide us with a free and wonderful home today. She also said that it was

One of our parents, Kate Ryan, Commander, Royal Australian Navy, addressed the school community, and the school was also very fortunate to have one of our 2015 graduates, OFFCDT Joshua Matthes, at the service.

question and answer session with the senior students. Joshua was able to share how his personal views on Anzac Day have been influenced by his recent transition to the Royal Australian Air Force and what his day-to-day life at Australian Defence Force Academy is like.

The opportunity for the students to have first-hand access to a recent peer who has moved on to a career that some of them are also interested in pursuing is invaluable, and it was pleasing that the current students took full advantage of the situation by asking numerous questions.

A number of senior students expressed interest in applying for ADFA over the next few years, and they will now be doing so with the knowledge that they have had excellent, and very current, advice.

On ANZAC Day many of Snowy Mountains Grammar School students will attend both the dawn services around the Monaro and also the march in Jindabyne.

The dreaded season for winter weight loss blues and wet, muddy paddocks is here. Do you have a horse who struggles to maintain his/her weight during the cooler months? There are a few steps to take to ensure your horse stays well covered and warm during these months. Before you even think about feed, it is important to make sure your horse has been regularly wormed and seen by an equine dentist, as sharp points, hooks, broken or infected molars may be causing discomfort and affect their ability to chew food properly, resulting in weight loss. It is best to also seek the advice of your equine veterinarian if you are having serious problems with weight maintenance to rule out any underlying medical conditions.

Once your horse has a clean bill of health, ensure they are getting enough forage in the diet. Feed your horse additional hay will help add vital calories to their diet but also help keep them warm! As the microbial population of your horseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hindgut breakdown fiber, they actually produce heat. This heat will help keep your horse warm from the inside out! Just think of the nice warm feeling you get after having a bowl of hot soup on a cold winter night! Increasing the calories that you are giving your horse is important to combat weight loss. If you have a poor doer who drops off during winter time, consider reviewing their diet in late autumn. However, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not too late to make a change! Consider adding a fat supplement to the diet to increase the calories without increasing the volume of feed being given. 1 gram of fat has approximately 2.5 times the calories of 1 gram of carbohydrates, making it the perfect way to get more calories into your horse. Adding fat in the form of stabilised rice bran is a safe way of adding additional calories in a palatable form, but will also deliver protein, vitamins and minerals. Hoof health is another concern during winter. Standing around in wet and muddy paddocks increases the risk of conditions such as thrush, mud fever, seedy toe and the dreaded hoof abscess. Providing your horse with a dry area for at least part of the day is ideal, but ensuring your horse is receiving optimal hoof nutrition is also important. Providing a hoof supplement containing biotin, methionine and zinc is essential to year round hoof health.

Remember, hoof supplements take approximately 9-12 months to improve the integrity of the whole hoof as they can only be incorporated into new growth, so start now to be ready for winter next year! If your horse is having the winter months off to spell, it is important to still meet their vitamin and mineral requirements regardless of the workload. If you are backing off on your normal pelleted or sweet feed, make sure you add a vitamin and minerals supplement to make up for what you have taken away. These supplements are similar to us taking a multivitamin and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contribute to the overall calories of the diet.

OBITUARY

Obituary - Fred Helmers Eulogy as read by daughter, Michelle Peisley

SIR WILLIAM HUDSON

MEMORIAL CENTRE AGED CARE FACILITY

As we approach the cooler months it is a timely reminder to all visitors to SWHMC about the importance of not entering the facility if you are unwell or have any symptoms that may indicate that you have a cold or a tummy bug. You may feel that the symptoms you have are only mild, but to some of our more vulnerable residents you could be bringing with you a potentially lethal illness. It is so important that as a precaution you use the hand wash each and every time that you come into SWHMC, you will find these dispensers are at the entry and also throughout the home.

This month our residents meeting will be held on Thursday 28th April at 5.30pm. We hope to see family members and carers who may not normally be able to attend due to their work commitments. The meetings give our residents and their families an opportunity to raise any concerns that they may have, or to pass on compliments to members of our staff.

Our ANZAC service will be held in the recreation room at 9am on April 25th. We would like to extend an invitation to all to join your family member for the service.

After 5 years of serving on the Board of Directors, Bruce Bashford has recently decided to tender his resignation. Bruce has been a long time member of the House Committee and was instrumental in the recent renovations and upgrades to the facility. Bruce’s father was a resident when he was initially encouraged to stand for election, and then voted onto the Board. Bruce’s Dad was a great barometer for how the home was running, and was well know for being a tough judge, but always spoke highly of SWHMC. Over the years Bruce has been a regular visitor to the residents at SWHMC and in 2015 volunteered to partake in the drama reading group in the hostel. His humour and wit will be hard to replace, as will his hard working ethic, but Bruce feels that the time is right for him to step down, and feels very comfortable leaving the current board members to carry on without him. Thank you Bruce for your commitment to the Board over these years.

Dad was born in Bombala in 1936, raised in Bibbenluke by his parents, Charlie and Nellie. Dad had one brother, John, who passed away early in life at the age of 47.

Dad left school at an early age; actually we don’t think Dad spent many days at school at all, as he preferred to climb the old pine trees that surrounded the Bibbenluke footy ground and spend his days gazing over the village.

Dad’s love for chopping wood, hunting and farming at his father Charlie’s property at Thoko was much more important than school in Dad’s eyes.

He soon turned his hand to shearing, and this became his occupation for the rest of his working life; shearing in local sheds around the Bombala district, having many funny stories to tell us when he got home.

Dad was well known as a very good tennis player in his younger days, travelling around to all the local tournaments with Mum. He also loved playing footy for Bibbenluke. He did tell us he wasn’t one of the cleanest players on the paddock, actually stating he was fairly rough. We all remember laughing with him about that.

Dad loved his footy and watching with the family every weekend was just routine, however we all knew to be quiet when it was on.

Dad would take us to Tathra for the holidays every year, sometimes this meant getting up at 5am to make the trip, towing the caravan behind the old V8 Kingswood, which, I might add, us kids were not allowed to move in, in case we put a scratch somewhere or put dirt on the mats.

Dad never drove fast, not in his married life anyway. He would say to us, “What’s the hurry?

I’ll just poke along”. This made our trips very long.

One of the memories we have from these trips is Dad rolling his Drum tobacco whilst driving, and Mum leaning over to do the steering, all the time with us kids in the back.

Dad loved to make friends with the campers at the caravan park. He would make himself useful by helping the caretaker out and doing the garbage run and odd jobs around the park. He was known to ride a pushbike around the caravan park with a motorbike helmet on, looking quite the part, he thought.

Swimming in the waves at Tathra flags was one of Dad’s favourite things.

Dad was shattered when breath testing came into action, saying “Bloody hell, a man can not even go in and have a bloody drink. What is the world coming to?”.

He loved his drink, going as far as hiding flagons of brown muscat in the shed; that was up until Mum found them and smashed them. You could imagine Dad when this happened, as we all know Dad hated waste.

Dad loved his roast lamb, which Mum cooked for him on a regular basis, “The fatter the better”.

He never got over losing Mum, so I hope they are together again having roast lamb.

Dad passed away at his home in Bega on December 21, 2015, aged 76.

The family of Fred Helmers would like to thank everyone for their kind words and gestures of support following their loss. He will be greatly missed by all his family and friends.

Following a very successful clearing sale last weekend with just over 100 bidders and over 600 lots sold at Lockers Happy Valley for the second time, Nick Kirshner Property & Livestock is proud to offer the historic homestead itself for auction.

Located on Bushrangers Hill Road, only a few minutes’ drive from the town of Adaminaby and Lake Eucumbene; also in close proximity to Mount Selwyn snowfields, Kiandra Gold Fields, and the Kosciuszko National Park. The property is about 35 minutes’ drive to the Cooma Township, as well as Cooma Airport, and Adaminaby Airfield just up the road. Murrumbidgee and other world famous Trout Fishing streams within less than 15 minutes’ drive.

With Canberra and the South Coast within an easy 2 hour drive, you have shopping complexes and beach holidays at your fingertips!

The homestead complex is set in the picturesque Happy boasting some magnificent mountain views and a desirable northerly aspect. The property grounds are well grassed, almost always being green & is known for its highly fertile soils.

There are four original dwellings within the homestead complex totalling a huge 14 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, and 4 kitchens – historically sleeping 35 visitors!

The heritage or function centre that housed Neville Lockers historic colonial artefact collection is also included; this stunning building has its own commercial kitchen and dining room, 3 bathrooms (which includes 7 WC’s and 1 shower downstairs).

Lockers Happy Valley has served as accommodation for weary travellers and holiday makers alike since the early 1900’s. Historically accommodating up to 35 guests overnight – which could possibly be increased within the current infrastructure, subject to all the relevant authorities of course.

The property has been used as a heritage and function centre since the mid 1980’s, and combined with its accommodation business, provided a healthy income for its owners.

The owners of Happy Valley are retiring and the property is for genuine sale, giving the new proprietors an endless scope of possible uses for this magnificent historical property.

PROPERTY MUSTER Sneaky home selling hacks Rural lifestyle with city convenience Look behind the smoke and mirrors to know what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really buying.

ME Head of Home Loans, Patrick Nolan uncovers the short cuts vendors take to cover up flaws during open home inspections. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A fresh coat of paint, the smell of freshly brewed coffee, and that glorious mirror in the dining roomâ&#x20AC;Ś these can all make a property seem so appealing,â&#x20AC;? says Nolan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the truth could be far more sinister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All vendors spruce up their home for sale but a few tricks of the trade could be more than just a spruce up.

Check out the hacks home owners use to disguise some hidden nasties.

Fresh paint â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paint can be a cheap and easy cover up for a whole bunch of hidden nasties like mildew and even termite damage. Be on the lookout if some rooms have recently been repainted but not others. And be suspicious of paintwork that is bubbling or stained. It can signify damp areas.

Baking bread, brewed coffee, scented candles â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a time when vendors wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t invite buyers into a property without first putting the kettle on to create the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Thankfully that phase of home staging has passed, and buyers should be wary if a property is filled with overpowering scents from incense, candles or over-the-top air fresheners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Strong aromas can be used to mask anything from pet or tobacco smells through to the more serious problems of rising damp, mould or, heaven forbid, dodgy sewerage pipes.

Heather Anoleck

Large mirrors â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the oldest trick in the book.

Hang a large mirror and create the instant illusion of a much bigger room.

Mirrors are often used in older homes where the rooms can be small. Beat the illusion by surveying the room with your back to the mirror.

Home styling â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is absolutely nothing wrong with employing a home stylist to make a property look like something from a lifestyle magazine, and it is a trend that is becoming more popular. The telltale signs tend to be a home that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really looked lived in with fancy furniture â&#x20AC;&#x201C; seemingly brand new, and all masterfully put together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bear in mind you are buying the bricks and mortar â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contents. Try to envision how the home will look with your furniture â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and in smaller rooms think about whether your furniture will fit at all.

The lights are switched on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fair bet at some stage youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll inspect a property where every conceivable light is switched on even during the middle of the day. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often a giveaway that the place receives little sunlight. Flick the switches and if you find yourself reaching for the exits your suspicions about dingy natural light are on the money.

The solution â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just rely on your ability as a super sleuth to spot any sneaky hacks.

Arranging a pre-purchase pest and building inspection is a good way to know what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re buying â&#x20AC;&#x201C; warts and all. It can cost from around $500 for a combined report but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money well spent if it means avoiding a problem property.â&#x20AC;?

The village is in a very handy position approx 30kms north of Cooma towards Canberra and approx 70kms to Canberra city.

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

Autumn is here!

Here we are now into the next season, which means the year is slowly passing us by once more. Summer is officially over, and winter looms closer.

So far this year, interest rates have remained stable, and while some Lenders increased their variable rates at the end of last year, there are some very low fixed rates available.

There has been some reduction of fixed rates, and now could be the time to consider locking your loan in to take advantage. Fixed loans wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suit everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circumstance, but I can help you determine if it is the best course for you.

Whether you want to review an existing loan,

Heather Anoleck

Mobile: 0431 351 873

or looking at taking out a new loan, it can pay to look at the different options, and compare. I have access to the current rates & offers with many Lenders.

With flexible appointment times, and with access to many different Lenders, I can take the hard work & stress out of the process for you.

With a range of referral partners in place, I am also happy to be your first contact for other financial areas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; i.e. business finance, or financial planning.

Winter Warming 2016 Winter fire safety checklist Are you fire safe in the home?

The fire services recommend this simple safety checklist to assist in keeping your home fire safe.

• Installing an adequate number of suitable smoke alarms and testing them regularly is the first step in your home fire safety plan.

• Having a written escape plan in case of fire and practicing it regularly.

• Make sure keys to all locked doors are readily accessible in case you need to escape.

• Never leave cooking or any other open flame including candles or oil burners unattended.

• Clean the lint filter of your clothes dryer each and every time you use it.

• Never smoke in bed and take extra care if consuming alcohol whilst smoking.

• In Winter take extra care when using heaters, electric blankets or open fires.

• Don’t overload power points and switch off appliances when not in use.

• Always keep lighters and matches away from children and educate them that they are “tools not toys” to only be used by responsible adults.

• If you have a garage or shed remember to take

•

•

extra care with any stored chemicals and fuels and nd d always refuel mowers, edgers etc when they are cold and in the open.

If you have a gas, electric or wood BBQ always check that it is in safe working order before lighting ng and that it is always in the care of a responsible adult when in use.

If you live in a bushfire prone area keep the ground nd d around your home clear of leaves and other litter and remember to clean your gutters regularly.

Fire safety tips • Remember that smoke from a fire will make you confused and that you cannot see in smoke.

• When asleep you will not smell smoke and it will in n fact put you into a deeper sleep.

• If you have escaped from a home fire, rememberr once you get out stay out and dial Triple Zero (000).

00).

• Oil, gas or wood heating units may require a yearly rly maintenance check.

• Only ever use fuses of recommended rating and install an electrical safety switch.

When did you last check your smoke alarms?

Fact All NSW residents must have at least one working smoke alarm (sometimes mistakenly referred to as “smoke detectors”) installed on each level of their home. This includes owner occupied, rental properties, relocatable homes or any other residential building where people sleep.

Smoke alarms are life-saving devices that provide benefits for occupants. They detect smoke well before any sleeping occupant would and provide critical seconds to implement actions to save life and property.

Smoke alarms are designed to detect fire smoke and emit a loud and distinctive sound to alert occupants of potential danger.

The Building Legislation Amendment (Smoke Alarms) Act 2005 and the Environmental Planning and

Assessment Amendment (Smoke Alarms) Regulation 2006 commenced in NSW on the 1st of May, 2006.

The Legislation refers to residential accommodation across NSW and requires the installation of one or more smoke alarms in buildings in which people sleep, smoke alarms installed in such buildings must be operational, and people must not remove or interfere with the operation of smoke alarms installed in such buildings. A person who does not comply with the legislation is guilty of an offence (maximum penalty $550).

These types of residential accommodation require smoke alarms; detached houses, terrace houses, town houses, villa units (Class 1a buildings), apartments, home units, flats (Class 2 buildings) caretakers flats, single residences above shops (Class 4 parts of buildings),relocatable homes, eg manufactured homes and moveable dwellings,campervans, caravans but not tents or

soft sided camper trailers.

Shared accommodation installation is also mandatory in small boarding houses, guest houses, hostels; backpackers accommodation; bed and breakfast accommodation (Class 1b buildings), large boarding houses, guest houses, hostels, backpacker accommodation; residential parts of hotels, motels, schools, health care buildings, detention centres; certain residential accommodation for the aged, children and people with disabilities (Class 3 buildings) and hospitals and nursing homes (Class 9a health care buildings).

If you answered yes to any of the above, then the new laws apply to you and you must have a minimum of one working smoke alarm on each level of your building.

Any alarms installed after 1 May 2006 must comply with AS3786.

Winter Warming 2016 Cut your costs with insulation If you have called the Monaro region home for a while now, you will understand that every year the cost of heating your home can be quite significant.

The role of insulation is to act as a barrier to heat loss and heat gain, most often in roofs and ceilings, walls and floors.

Insulation can be the most practical and cost effective way to make a house more energy efficient; it can help to keep it cool in summer and warm in winter.

It is possible to save up to 40% in heating and cooling bills; it may even reduce condensation in the home.

Not only will your back pocket thank you if you install good quality insulation, your health will also benefit, as mould and damp is reduced.

If you have a heater or cooler but have ineffective insulation, half the energy you are using could simply be leaking out of your home.

As well as the monetary benefits good insulation brings, you are also helping to protect the environment and reduce greenhouse gasses by lowering your energy consumption.

There is a range of insulation products available in Australia. When deciding what type of insulation is appropriate for your home you should seek assistance from an appropriately qualified insulation installer or builder.

There are two main types of insulation: â&#x20AC;˘ Bulk insulation acts as a barrier to heat flow between your home and the outside, keeping heat out of your home in summer and in your home in winter. It comes in batts, rolls, boards and can be made from materials like glass wool, polyester, natural wool or recycled paper. Bulk insulation is usually used in homes located in cooler climates. â&#x20AC;˘ Reflective insulation is generally used to keep your home cool in summer by deflecting radiant heat. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually shiny aluminium foil laminated onto paper or plastic.

Reflective insulation is usually used in homes located in hot and very sunny climates.

Some insulation products combine features of both bulk and reflective insulation.

What type of insulation is best for you will depend on the climate where you live and whether you need to keep heat in, or out, or both. Your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design, the material itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made from and its orientation to north are also

factors.

Ceiling insulation is particularly important as the highest proportion of heat transfer occurs through the roof and ceiling, but there are other areas of your home that can be insulated as well. To maximise the efficiency of your insulation, draught-proof your home to reduce heated or cooled air leaking from cracks and gaps around windows and doors.

Roofs and ceilings If your roof or ceiling isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t insulated, you could lose up to 45 percent of your heating and cooling energy via the roof. Verandah roofs should be insulated in hot climates to reduce heat from the sun, as this not only affects the space below, but also the temperature inside the house. Covered verandahs and garages might benefit from insulation if you spend a lot of time in these areas, especially if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re heating or cooling them.

Walls Wall insulation can save up to an additional 20 per cent of heating and cooling energy.

Consider added wall insulation as an essential in all climates. Exceptions to this would be homes constructed from straw bale (and to a lesser extent autoclaved aerated concreteâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; AAC). If wall insulation is not already fitted, or if your existing insulation is insufficient, it can be retrofitted. Speak to your installer about the correct product for your particular home and location.

Floors Appropriate floor insulation can save up to 5 per cent of your winter energy costs. Carpets are one option to insulate a floor. In hot climates floor insulation may interfere with the natural cooling from the ground beneath the house. Seek advice about the best option for your home and circumstance.

Water pipes Water pipes inside walls can be insulated when building or renovating. To avoid further heat being lost from a storage hot water system, insulating externally exposed pipes leading from the water heater to the house as well as the water tank itself is recommended.

Winter Warming 2016 Practical, clean method to keep warm this winter As the Monaro approaches its typically cold winter months, heating options are occupying residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; minds.

This year, in Cooma, there is a clean, green and very efficient alternative to the traditional wood fire.

Pellet heaters are very popular in Europe because of those clean, green qualities.

Now, in Cooma, Pellet Experts Pty Ltd, based at Polo Flat, is producing high quality pellets from sawdust sourced from Donghwa timber mill at Bombala.

The raw material is from the kiln-dried stock, so it is clean and easily combustible.

The pellets are manufactured at the premises in Polo Flat and are packaged into 15kg plastic bags.

The manufacturing process produces no waste while using a quality waste product from Bombala.

In addition to making the pellets, Pellet Experts are also wholesaling pellet heaters to the retail market.

Three partners who have heating and innovation experience, are behind this new business.

While they had access to the pellet heaters, they found sourcing quality pellets was expensive and the pellets were not readily available. The solution? Make the pellets locally.

So now with both components available, Pellet

Experts are in a position to promote a clean environmental friendly heating solution.

Pellet Heaters run on wood pellets â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they are programmable so they can switch on and off on a timer and their heating capacity can also be adjusted.

They do require electricity to operate the fans and igniter.

The heaters need to be flued â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and that can be as simple as a flue through a wall to the outside.

The heaters are free-standing and need a hard surface â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but that needs only to be as large as the base of the heater.

The wood pellets are clean and can be

easily stored inside. Conveniently, they remove the need for laborious wood chopping and stacking.

The waste produced from burning the pellets is minimal and can be used in the garden. Cleaning the heaters is simple too â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with so little waste produced, the interior can just be vacuumed once the waste tray is removed.

The heaters have a high efficiency rating and produce very little emission.

For more information, contact Pellet Experts on 6452 2775.

Tips for selecting firewood What not to burn Never burn household rubbish, driftwood, treated wood or painted wood. It is sure to pollute the air and it can produce toxic gases.

For example, the black part at the bottom of old telegraph poles is saturated with preservatives like creosote.

Green pine logs used for garden edges and park and playground equipment may have been treated with copper chrome arsenate. These logs are safe to handle but release toxic substances when burnt.

Painted wood may contain chemicals that should not be burnt.

Old, painted wood may contain lead which is very harmful to human health.

Never burn coal or coke in a wood heater. Each heater is designed for a specific type of fuel â&#x20AC;&#x201C; using the wrong fuel can result in undesirable pollution emissions.

The key to creating a bright, hot fire is good fuel. Wet (unseasoned) firewood smokes more than dry wood because the water in the wood must be evaporated off before the wood will burn. This lowers the temperature of the fire, causing less complete combustion and excessive smoke.

Burning dry (seasoned) firewood will give you a hot fire, leading to more complete combustion and less smoke.

If you are buying firewood If buying wood to use immediately, always buy dry, seasoned, untreated wood.

Refer to your heater manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operation manual to identify the correct fuel to purchase (hard or soft wood).

Because unseasoned wood has a high moisture content it is hard to ignite, slow to burn and produces more smoke and less heat. It can cause your heater flue to clog up more quickly.

You can save money by purchasing unseasoned firewood in early spring and storing it in a well-ventilated shed or other covered area until winter.

Freshly cut wood should be stored for at least 8 to 12 months prior to use. It is best to stack wood in a criss-cross pattern to allow air flow.

How can you tell if wood is dry?

To tell if wood is dry/seasoned, bang two pieces together. You should hear a loud, hollow crack. Alternatively, tap the wood with a key or coin. Dry wood makes a sharp, resonant sound. Wet wood sounds dull.

Our friendly staff at the Elgas Cooma branch will help choose a heater that is right for you.

Wheatbags safety Fact Wheat bags can help pain, but they also have the potential to cause burns and fire if improperly used.

Fire & Rescue NSW Firefighters have responded to numerous residential fires that have occurred due to wheat bags overheating in the microwave oven or wheat bags being used to warm bedding materials.

What you need to know â&#x20AC;˘ Ensure the wheat bag you purchase comes with instructions and follow them carefully, especially when heating. Ensure the timer on the microwave oven is correctly set when heating your wheat bag. Accidentally setting 30 minutes instead of 3 minutes is easy to do and has caused potentially fatal fires. â&#x20AC;˘ When heating a wheat bag in a microwave oven, always place a glass of water next to it. This ensures the bag doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dry out and overheat. Only fill the glass up to ž full. Exercise care when handling the glass of water as it may be hot. â&#x20AC;˘ Only use wheat bags for direct

Wheat bags can ignite, and are not designed to replace hot water bottles for warming beds. â&#x20AC;˘ Regularly check your wheat bag for signs of wear and tear or scorching.

With age the fillings dry out and become combustible. â&#x20AC;˘ If your Wheat bag begins to smoulder or catches fire ring Triple Zero Immediately.

Remember â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overheat the wheatbag by placing it in the microwave longer than specified by the manufacturer. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave the wheatbag unsupervised in the microwave. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let anyone, particularly children or the elderly sleep with a wheat bag. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use the wheat bag to warm your bed up, as it may spontaneously ignite. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reheat the wheatbag before it has properly cooled. â&#x20AC;˘ A wheatbag should be cooled down on a non-combustible surface before storing.

Ewe nutrition during pregnancy is more than grazing management Sheep producers are being reminded that managing ewe nutrition during pregnancy and lambing is one of the most important factors to ensure the best lambing and survival rates.

As lambing approaches, preparing ewes to carry and deliver healthy lambs becomes essential.

“This can have huge impacts on productivity and profitability,” says Dr Jerry Liu, Livestock Nutrition Specialist for Virbac Australia.

“Good nutrition during pregnancy maximises lamb survival rates by optimising the lambs’ weight at birth, which prevents lambs dying from exposure or mismothering.”

The first step is monitoring ewes’ condition score which can help farmers prioritise feeding and make sure lambs are born at the ideal weight (4.5-5.5kg). Ewes carrying one lamb should be at condition score 3.0, while ewes carrying twins or triplets should

have a condition score of 3.5-4.0.

“Good nutrition in late pregnancy can overcome poor nutrition in early pregnancy,” says Dr Liu. “Some producers increase their feed quantity when it really matters by deferring grazing in those early stages.”

During lambing, single-carrying ewes should ideally have 1200 kg DM/ha food on offer while ewes carrying multiples should have 1800 kg DM/ha. At peak lactation time, these benchmarks increase to 1500 kg DM/ha and 2000 kg DM/ha respectively.

The best feed should be available to the stock under the greatest demands from pregnancy. Dr Liu recommends the order for prioritising food quality should start with ewes carrying triplets, then low condition score twins, high condition score twins, low condition score singles and high condition score singles.

However, Dr Liu points out pasture management is more than monitoring condition score and food on offer.

“You should monitor and manage pasture toxins including onion weed and perennial rye grass toxicosis,” says Dr Liu. “These can cause major losses during pregnancy and at full term.”

Supplementary feeding can help maintain good rumen function. Common supplementary feedstuffs include grain and molasses for energy, meals and lupins for protein and hay for roughage. Minerals – such as lime and phosphorous – are best fed as pre-prepared licks to make sure animals do not exceed the recommended intakes.

Dr Liu also stresses the importance of trace minerals for protecting both lamb and ewe.

“Ewes transfer about 30% of their own trace minerals to the foetus in late pregnancy,” he says. “Producers can topup trace minerals in ewes

with an injection of Multimin. This provides a very rapidly absorbed, and much needed top-up of zinc, manganese and selenium that will help the ewe in her recovery, to produce better colostrum, and optimise production.”

Good nutrition and enough trace minerals also improve the ewe’s immunity to disease and parasites, as well as her response to vaccines. During pregnancy and lactation, ewes are under increased stress because of the extra demands for protein, energy and minerals from the foetus and milk production. So while her nutrition requirements increase, her immune response drops, leading to low worm resistance.

“Parasite management is absolutely vital in the periparturient period to minimise pasture contamination,” says Dr Liu. “I recommend Cydectin Long Acting injection for sheep, a high-potency drench injection that not only protects ewes from the health risks associated with worms – but also reduce their egg

output, reducing contamination of pastures.

“The ewe’s appetite will be better and she can digest and absorb her food better. She’s expending less energy on trying to mount an immune response so she will maintain her weight better and produce more milk for her growing lamb – so it will be as healthy as possible too.”

Lambs and pregnant or lactating ewes have the highest nutrition requirements – and they’re also the most susceptible to disease and parasites.

Diligent nutrition management and parasite protection work in symbiosis to ensure lambs are born at healthy weights, ewes can provide enough milk to help them grow, and producers can ultimately maximise their profitability.

To purchase Multimin and Cydectin Long Acting injection for sheep, visit your local agriculture merchandiser. Find out more at www.virbac.com.au.

More rainfall predicted for April to June - BOM The Bureau of Meteorology has issued its monthly and seasonal climate outlooks for April to June 2016.

April to June favours aboveaverage rainfall likely in parts of southern Australia, below average likely in the far north for April to June and Warmer-thanaverage days and nights likely for much of Australia April rainfall is likely to be below average across much of northern Australia and parts of the southeast mainland Climate influences include a very warm Indian Ocean, a weakening El Niño and warm sea surface temperatures surrounding much of Australia (see the Climate Influences section).

Climate outlook overview April to June rainfall outlook: above average in parts of southern Australia, below average in the far north.

April rainfall outlook: below average in northern Australia and parts of the southeast mainland.

Daytime temperature outlook: warmer than average nationwide, except in parts of the southern interior and western WA Overnight temperature outlook:

www.

warmer than average nationwide.

Climate influences include a very warm Indian Ocean, a weakening El Niño and warm sea surface temperatures surrounding much of Australia Increased chance of wet in central south; dry in far north April is likely to be drier than average across northern Australia, suggesting a dry end to the northern wet season. Central to eastern Victoria and central Queensland are also likely to have a drier than average April.

April to June rainfall is more likely to be above average across the Gascoyne region in WA, throughout SA, extending into NSW and the far western corners of Queensland and Victoria. The far northern parts of Australia are more likely to have a drier than average three months.

The current outlook reflects a combination of a weakening El Niño, very warm Indian Ocean temperatures and warm sea surface temperatures around much of the Australian coast.

Historical outlook accuracy for April to June is generally moderate to high over most of Australia, but low in Tasmania

and small patches across the south.

High chances of a warmer three months for Australia April daytime and night-time temperatures are very likely to be warmer than average for most of Australia.

Warmer than normal days are likely for much of Australia for the April to June period, except for parts of the southern interior and western WA. Nights are strongly favoured to be warmer than average across the country, with a greater than 80% (or eight in ten) chance of warmer nights for most of Australia for the April to June period.

The current outlook reflects a combination of very warm Indian Ocean temperatures, a weakening El Niño, and warm sea surface temperatures surrounding much of Australia.

Historical maximum temperature accuracy for April to June is moderate to high over most of Australia. Minimum temperature accuracy is also moderate to high for most of the country, except parts of southwestern WA, where accuracy is moderate to low.

Funds for local farmers The Farms with a Future program has funds for local farmers who attend a Ground Work Day in Bombala on Thursday 28 April.

Farms with a Future is run by SCPA-South East Producers who secured funding through South East Local Land Services to assist farmers to improve the soil quality, water retention and environmental biodiversity on their farms.

By attending a Ground Work Day and submitting their ideas for their farm property, producers will be in the running for $1,000 towards the cost developing or implementing their plans, and up to $4,000 towards

the cost of implementing the plan and hosting a Ground Work Day on their property.

The next Ground Work Day is on Thursday 28 April at ‘Palarang’ owned and operated by John Walker, and located 17km west of Bombala on shale and basalt country. Areas of the farm are typical ‘Monaro treeless plains’. It is a mixed sheep and cattle farm with approximately 120 breeding Hereford Cows and 1000 ewes plus cattle on consignment.

The property is certified organic under the SCPA Organics program.

John is passionate about native pastures, biodiversity

and soil health, and he encourages native pasture to grow by carefully managing grazing and movement amongst the 50 or more paddocks.

At the Ground Work Day participants will work with John and Josh Dorrough (from Natural Regeneration Australia) and will experience the setting up of and on-farm native grass nursery, as well as native grass identification and seed harvesting.

For information and to apply go to farmswithafuture. scpa.org.au.

Farms with a Future is part of the $125 million of National Landcare Programme

Farmers welcome commitment to scrap RSRT The National Farmer’s Federation (NFF) has welcomed the Turnbull Government’s election commitment to scrap the Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal (RSRT) following widespread outrage from the agriculture and transport industries.

Announced earlier today by Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, and Minister for Employment for Employment, Michaelia Cash, the Government has vowed to support truck owner-drivers by abolishing the destructive RSRT, should it be returned to Government at the next election.

NFF President, Brent Finlay, said he was pleased the Prime Minister had listened to industry and made this common sense commitment.

“Market competition and efficiency simply cannot exist where government agencies regulate market rates and the RSRT and the Road Safety Remuneration System Payment Order, which came into effect last Thursday, has potential to annihilate small transport businesses,” Mr Finlay said.

“This would have dire flow-on consequences for the agriculture industry which relies on these business and for the many farmers who run

5,000

their own transport businesses as a form of supplementary income.

“We are heartened by today’s announcement from the Prime Minister and Minister Cash and implore them, should they be successful at the next election, to abolish the RSRT as a matter of priority upon retaining office.”

Mr Finlay also welcomed a commitment to redirect funds form the RSRT to the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR).

“If you’re going to do something meaningful about road safety it is critical it be done by a body that understands the industry and uses evidence-based policy to make decisions,” he said.

“We would hope that with greater resources the NHVR would be able to broadly consult with industry for outcomes that improve safety whilst not harming business.

“Today’s announcement has shown the Turnbull Government has not thrown road safety, or common sense, on the trash pile and demonstrates a positive commitment to work collaboratively with those who this most heavily impacts upon.”

Wednesday April 20, 2016

Don’t let those early season injuries linger At the end of the season many players throw their boots in the corner and forget about all things pertaining to their sport until preseason comes around. This is not the best way to manage a body which has been put through the rigours of a full sports season.

Most players will be carrying niggling injuries to their legs and back. The most common of these is low back and hamstring tightness. If left unchecked this can develop into a chronic problem and lead to further injuries.

The team at Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy are proud to support our local sporting teams and athletes.

In 2016, we are sponsoring Winter Moguls Olympian Matt Graham, and we have teamed up to sponsor Cooma Tigers, the local Cooma Squash competition and the Jindabyne Bushpigs.

Australia’s elite athletes and sporting teams work with physiotherapists to help them achieve and maintain their best performance. But what sets physiotherapists apart from the scrum of health practitioners available to manage a sporting injury?

Firstly, physiotherapists are registered professionals. This means they are accountable to a state registration board, and rigorous professional standards.

Secondly, physiotherapists have a unique level of education and training. All physiotherapists have completed a fouryear university degree focusing on anatomy,

physiology and biomechanics as well as specific joint and muscle assessment and treatment.

At Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy, we have physiotherapists working out of Cooma and Jindabyne that have undergone further

training in the treatment of hands, hips, pelvis, knees and shoulders just to name a few. On our team, we also have physiotherapist Eliza Graham who recently returned from working overseas in North America for NSW Institute of Sport and the Olympic Winter Institute

of Australia. As always we aim to keep you playing sport (and winning!), so getting in early for a diagnosis and injury management plan is essential.

At Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy, we don’t just cater for elite athletes - people of

all ages and sporting abilities can benefit from treatment by our physiotherapists through: • Providing care of acute injuries on and off the field • Optimising your return to sports after injury

• Analysing your sporting technique to prevent injury • Improving your flexibility, muscle strength and control • Advising you how to safely increase your fitness • Improving your posture and relieving muscle imbalances • Prescribing a specific exercise program for ongoing injury management As specialists in the local community we are regularly involved in running education classes on Sports First Aid, management of injury and taping. We are holding taping workshops in Cooma on Wednesday night, 11 and 18 May and in Jindabyne on Saturday 14 May. We are also holding a FREE Sports Injury Prevention and Sports Injury Management talk at 6pm, Tuesday 31 May. If you or your sporting club wish to discuss how Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy can help with injury management and prevention please call Renee Pirozzi on 6457 2627.

Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy are conveniently located at the Snowy River Health Centre, 5 Thredbo Terrace Jindabyne and in the Bombala Street Surgery, 62 Bombala Street Cooma.

Appointments for assessment or treatment of an injury or injury prevention, or to book in for our taping workshops or FREE talk can be made by phoning 6452 4203.

Keith Goodwin - 92 and still on the green Nick Chapman Keith Goodwin has had a long affiliation with sport in the local community, particularly with lawn bowls and as a member of the Royal Tennis Club.

At 92, Keith is still heavily involved with both tennis and bowls, and despite having had a few months on the sideline he is keen to get back on the court and the green.

Keith was born in Cooma and aside from four years in the army and four years in Newcastle, he has lived here his whole life.

He attended Cooma Central School from 1931-1940 and it was as a boy that he developed his passion for tennis.

He started playing on his family’s court when he was six years old and has been involved in the sport his entire life.

Tennis runs deep in Keith’s family and he has a strong connection with the Royal Tennis Club, having had both parents and two uncles on the committee.

When Keith was a junior, the Royal Tennis Club offered free membership to the best three boys and the best three girls and Keith won a free membership three times.

In 1942, Keith was called up to the army, spending 12 months around Sydney before being shipped to New Guinea as part of a non combat unit.

He then moved to Newcastle in 1947 working for BHP doing road surfacing, a job that took him over most of the state.

After his time in Newcastle, Keith moved back to Cooma and has lived here ever since.

He was involved in social tennis, when it was played on Wednesday afternoon

because the shops were closed, and there were games played on weekends.

Competition tennis also existed in the form of a district competition for surrounding towns as well as representative tennis.

Participation in the sport boomed with the introduction of the Snowy Scheme and the Tennis Association was formed in 1958 and according to Keith that’s when it really got going.

The Royal Tennis Club had 14 teams when tennis was big and private tennis courts all over Cooma were utilised to cater for the numbers.

“Nearly every house with a tennis court had a team on it,” Keith said.

Keith had a big hand in establishing the junior tennis competition in Cooma in the early 1970s when interest was growing amongst younger people.

“What really started it was Mrs Lil Nichols coaching kids on her court on Sundays,” he said.

To help encourage the juniors, Lil got in touch with Victor Edwards, Evonne Goolagong’s coach, to run some junior clinics in Cooma.

“He rang one day and said how many have you got Keith? I said 204,” Keith said.

“It was successful and tennis was strong generally.”

Keith says the enormous participation rates from the juniors encouraged parents to play again and tennis was thriving.

Keith has served extensively on the committee for the Royal Tennis Club, having had a term as president and secretary, and being involved with publicity for the club he loves.

“My main interest in sport has been the Royal Tennis Club and enjoying the

facilities and the people,” he said.

He has served as the treasurer of the club for the past 16 years, and says the highlight of his career is being awarded a life membership of the Royal Tennis Club at the 60th anniversary in 1981.

With tennis numbers down at the moment, Keith attributes the dwindling participation rate to the fact that Australia does not have a top ten player in the world. When Australia dominated tennis, this was reflected by the participation in the sport.

He would like to see the number of players increase and says Australia needs a dominant player on the world stage and the future of the sport locally will rely on junior numbers.

Keith started playing bowls in the 1980s and returned to the sport as what he calls a “recycled bowler” after in 2003.

He has been involved with coaching kids in bowls as an accredited coach, and is currently the publicity officer and helps out organising the social bowls.

During his first stint as a bowler Keith played competitively, making the pennants team for a few years but now he does it for the love.

Keith has had a few months off competing in sport, having had his last hit of tennis at Christmas time, but he is eager to get back on the court and the bowling green to pursue his love of sport.

Cooma Car Club roars Soccer clinics for primary schools back into action in May Two hill climbs and Pre-1960s car rally Following a successful and comprehensive involvement in the ‘Back to Cooma’ celebrations, Cooma Car Club (CMHAC) will be staging three ‘core business’ events this May, namely: • The 11th running of the Mount Gladstone Hill Climb on Sunday May 1.

• Second running of the Vintage and Classic Pre-1960s Car Rally – over the weekend of May 14-15, and • The 12th running of the Mount Gladstone Hill Climb on Sunday May 22.

Both hill climbs will be run over the Car Club’s 1km track up Mount Gladstone Road off the Snowy Mountains Highway west of Cooma; and are conducted under the rules and regulations of the Confederation of Australian Motor Sports (CAMS).

Competitors need to be financial members of CMHAC or other invited clubs affiliated with CAMS, and must hold a CAMS Level 2 Speed Event

Licence.

Vehicles Classes will be as nominated on the Supplementary Regulations up to Type 4 production based 2WD vehicles (Sports Sedans).

Vehicle Scrutiny will be held at the CMHAC Clubhouse, Bolaro Street Cooma before the events start at 9:30 am.

The Pre-1960s Car Rally is designed for early model vehicles (pre-1960) with no major modifications; for example hot rods are excluded.

The rally runs are over scenic sealed sub-alpine roads of the Cooma Monaro area which entrants will enjoy in company with vehicles of similar speed and capability. The event utilises the Car Club’s excellent clubhouse and facilities.

More details about these events including regulations and entry forms can be found on the Cooma Car Club website www.coomacarclub. com.au/, see also Cooma Car Club’s Facebook Page.

Martin Thomas from Berridale is running soccer clinics for local primary schools and has just completed a term with Dalgety.

The clinics are run in conjunction with the Sporting Schools Association and Sydney Football Club and are free for schools to participate in if they apply for a grant.

Martin is a coach with the Cooma Tigers and has an impressive resume as both a player and a coach.

He has coached in West Virginia in the United States and trialled with the English professional football club Queens Park Rangers.

He is qualified with Football Federation Australia as a football coach and is a qualified general sports coach with experience in teaching snow sports.

Martin is excited about the opportunity to teach young people the game he loves and is encouraging all schools to get involved.

The program only runs in first and second term and Martin will be teaching clinics at Dalgety and Snowy Mountains Grammar School next term.

By participating in the clinics Martin hopes that overall numbers in the sport will increase and school kids will be given the opportunity to learn new skills and work on health promotion.

Wednesday April 20, 2016

Jebbink and Mannile win district mixed pairs Wednesday bowlers must have enjoyed not only the company but also the weather if the good natured banter was any indication.

Ron Gammon, Bob Douglass and Geoff Venables, with four shots on end five and five on 10, held a slight lead over Tony Gray, Mario Frezza and Kevin Jackson which was cut back to 13/13 on 13.

For the next six ends it was anyone’s game but Ron, Bob and Geoff went on to win 25/16.

It was a different storey in the Mary Boller, Sergio Roncelli , Ron Wainwright match against Max Povey, Mick Mayhew and Bill McDonald.

Ron’s team won nine of the first 11 ends to lead 14/3. From that point on it was fairly even going, with Ron’s team winning 22/14. Russell Fox, Bob Lahy and Paul Cannell had a 10/5 lead at the half way point over Skip Hamilton, Renate Winckel and Denis Steinfort but dropped four shots on 12 to even things up. That was short lived as Paul’s team ran away with the match to win 22/15.

A reminder to all bowlers. Starting time for Wednesday Bowls is now 12.30 pm and weekend is 1pm. Therefore names should be in by 11.30am Wednesday and 12.10pm for weekend.

On Saturday morning the semi-finals of the District Mixed Pairs saw the mother and son combination of Jake and Nicole Barnes opposing husband and wife pair, Dawn and Ross Russell and Marnie Coombe and Pip Cummins up against Olga Jebbink and Mike Mannile.

Jake and Nicole started well with four shots on the first end and going out to lead 11/5 on eight.

Unfortunately they spent the next five ends on that score.

They recovered slightly to trail 15/18 but five shots to Dawn and Ross on 16 put them in a commanding position and they went on to gain a spot in the afternoon final 28/21. Jake Barnes proved that he is a player of the future.

Olga Jebbink and Mike Mannile won only two of the first nine ends to trail Marnie Coombe and Pip Cummins 6/10. Four shots on 10 brought Olga and Mike level and three on 12 and three on 14 put them in front 17/11. Marnie and Pip then won five ends in a row to take the lead 18/17 with two ends to play.

These both went to Olga and Mike to put them in to the final 22/18.

In the final Olga and Mike dominated the early ends against Dawn and Ross to lead 9/2 on end six.

Three ends for six shots brought Dawn and Ross close at 8/9 only to see Olga and Mike skip away to

lead 15/11 on 16. The scores were locked up 16/16 with two ends to play. Olga and Mike scored four on 20 and Dawn and Ross were only able to counter with three to give Olga and Mike the District Mixed Pairs title for this year, 20/19. A fitting score for a final.

The final of the Major Singles between Daniel Clough and Mark Buckley kept a good crowd of onlookers entertained, particularly over the early ends when the biggest margin was two shots and 10/10 on 16.

At that point fortunes favoured Mark who went out to lead 18/10. Daniel won a series of short ends to take the lead 26/19 on 29 and 30/21 on 33. Six shots over two ends to Mark gave him a chance but Daniel was able to score the necessary one shot on end 36 to take out the Major Singles for this year 31/27.

In the only social game on Saturday, Sergio Roncelli, Mick Mayhew and Renate Winckel dropped four shots on end seven and a further four on 10 to trail Mario Frezza, Ken Rees and Geoff Venables 6/15. Mario, Ken and Geoff continued on their good form and put the icing on the cake with five shots on 16 and eventually winning 26/16.

The deferred matches in Pennants were played on Sunday with Cooma One v Jindabyne and Cooma Two v Adaminaby.

Jindabyne were convincing winners over Cooma One 3 rinks 75 to 0 rinks 52, giving Jindabyne 10 points to nil .

Cooma Two were winners over Adaminaby 2 rinks 70 to 1 rink 45 giving Cooma Two 9 points Adaminaby 1 point.

The final point score was Adaminaby 13, Cooma One 30 ½ , Cooma Two 29, Jindabyne 47 ½ .

Jindabyne will now go forward to Zone in number five Pennants, Cooma Two in six and Adaminaby in seven. Congratulations to these three teams and good luck in the next stage Six players braved the wintery conditions for social bowls. Brian Searle, Dale Collins and Denis Steinfort were early 12/5 leaders over Sandi Litchfield, Roulie Steinfort and Renate Winckel.

Five shots on 11 to Sandi, Roulie and Renate brought them back in to the game but they were unable to capitalise with Brian, Dale and Denis winning 19/16.

Players entered in the Mixed Pairs are reminded that the first round will be played on April 30 and second round on May 1. More details later.

Stallions U18s win 44-10, reserves lose The undefeated Stallions reserve grade made the long road trip to Eden to take on Bermagui-Cobargo last Sunday.

They started the match in fine style with some polished backline movements resulting in two very god tries.

Unfortunately handling errors, ill-discipline and some average referee rulings had the side defending for the remainder of the half.

Coach Scott Lloyd emphasised the need for better ball control and patience to try and get back into the match, however the first half trend continued and saw the side down by 26 points to 12.

With only 15 minutes remaining, the side kicked back into gear and ran in two more late tries and were attacking strongly when the final siren sounded.

In summing up - it was a game they could have won with better respect for possession.

Players player was awarded to David Sunnerville and Andrew Crimmins.

Under 18s Cooma Stallions Under 18’s travelled to Eden on the weekend and it was great to see the boys bounce back from the previous week with a dominating performance against

Eden winning the game 44 to 10. Harry Nichols and Rhayne Simpson laid the platform up front gaining plenty of metres giving the backs ample opportunity to swing the ball wide and putting players in good position to score.

With great service from our halves Troy Freebody and Will Moore our backs Jake Hedger and Hughie Allen were able to monopolise the play dominating out wide.

Lady Tigers continue winning ways with 5-nil victory

Far left: Leanne Hayward.

Top centre: Tina Baker.

Bottom centre: Rachel Dorward.

Above: Camilla McDonald.

The Cooma Lady Tigers continued their winning ways with a convincing five-nil win over Tuggeranong United.

Cooma were quick to score when Tina Baker put a beautiful through ball to Libby Goggin who went one on one with the keeper and with some fancy footwork she was able to send the

ball beautifully into the bottom left hand corner.

Minutes later Camilla McDonald fired a powerful shot straight to the Tuggeranong keeper who deflected it right back to the feet of Miruna Moruz who found herself with an open goal to put the ladies in front by two.

Cooma took their

foot off the pedal a bit towards the end of the first half but with some great defending from Rachel Lovell, Sarah Merefield, Stacey Kelly and Candice Geach they were able to keep the opposition scoreless going into half time.

The second half started a bit slow for Cooma and

Tuggeranong took full advantage. They had a few shots on goal but Cooma’s goalkeeper Samantha De Ruijter was able to save each attempt with style and ease.

Next to score for Cooma was Alicia Rampal, a through ball from defender Candice Geach found Alicia’s

feet and she was able to sprint away with the ball to finish it skillfully to take the score to three-nil.

This did not discourage Tuggeranong who kept coming at Cooma’s defence.

Kerry Baines who had an outstanding game continued to put her body on the line to stop any break aways

Tuggeranong even thought about having.

Midfielders Tina Baker and Tamara Lloyd also had great games putting some perfect through balls through to Raen Brademanne and Hymne Truter who did not stop running the wing all game.

With a three-nil lead coach Serdan Bircan

decided to push three up front. This was a good move as Miruna Moruz and Libby Goggin were about to score another two goals to secure Cooma’s win.

Cooma will have a break this weekend and will come up against ANU WFC in two week’s time.

Snowy Mountains Grammar School Cooma Tigers Men’s Div 2 Rd3 students reach for the sky!

Snowy Mountains Grammar School in Jindabyne offers an aviation program to its students.

The course offers those interested in flying as a career, or as a recreational pursuit, the opportunity to begin their aviation studies while still at school.

Alpine Aviation Australia, a flight training facility operated by its Chief Flying Instructor, Martin Hughes, an ex-RAF pilot and flight instructor, operates out of Jindabyne Randall Community Aerodrome and offers flight training to complement the SMGS aviation program.

The program has seen some notable achievements during the first term of 2016.

On February 14, a Year 11 student, Tolina Davis, went on her first solo flight and declared it was a fantastic Valentine’s Day present!

Since then, Toby Mallon, a Year 12 student, has achieved his Pilot Certificate – and he has yet to obtain his Drivers Licence!

And finally, on April 13, another Year 12 student, Nick Nanninga, also flew solo for the first time in his life. And there are several more students either about to commence their flight training or working towards their first solo flights and Pilot Certificates.

Regardless of whether a student wants to fly for the

airlines, the defence forces or to pursue an interest in other careers in aviation, the course offers the resources and opportunities to meet their aspirations.

It provides an exciting and rewarding educational process which gives students a significant advantage when applying for post school opportunities within the aviation industry and complements their normal academic program.

Round three saw the Cooma Tigers men’s side take on ADFA Vikings in our second home game of the year at Nijong oval. The Tigers were out to continue there strong start to the season and in doing so started the game with a more attacking formation with three up front with the intent to punish the Vikings early. Vikings drew first blood with a raid down the left side and some poor defence and they were up 1-0 early.

This sparked the Cooma boys to life and there was a quick reply through last week’s man of the match Cam Mackintosh. Cooma then dominated possession and with smart ball movement took the lead to be up 2-1.

The Tigers continued to dominate possession had the opportunity to capitalise on this possession but with some good keeping from the Vikings goalie, and the goal uprights taunting the Tigers strikers it took a little longer than the boys wanted to put another one in the back of the net.

They did capitalise and the Tigers were up 3-1. Some sloppy defending by the Vikings saw the Tigers awarded a free kick just outside the box.

Captain Iain Elliott stepped up and with a late curling ball he hit the outside of far upright and the ball skipped out.

The Vikings didn’t give up and continued to push the Tigers throughout the first half. The Tigers goalkeeper Alex Bruce kept Cooma in the game with some saves that would have made the A League highlight

reel. A late tackle inside the box by the Tigers defence saw the referee point to the spot and award the Vikings with a penalty. Despite picking the direction and getting his fingertips to the ball Alex was unable to keep the ball out and it was 3-2. This score remained at halftime.

With Cam Mackintosh sitting on the verge of his second hat-trick in as many weeks and Serdan Bircan lurking to add another to his first half goal the Tigers continue to dominate in possession during the second half.

Laurence Redmond was an everpresent danger with some hard hitting long shorts that kept the Vikings keeper nervous. Cooma capitalised on their strong possession and were soon well in control of the game.

A clearing ball from the back landed at the feet of Laurence who quickly turned towards goal, with Iain Elliott in support it was two on one with the Vikings keeper. Unselfishly Laurence drew in the Vikings keeper and passed the ball for Iain to score in the open goal. A strong second half saw Cam Mackintosh and Serdan Bircan both grab a hat-trick and Iain Elliott bagged a double. The Tigers ran out dominant winners holding the Vikings scoreless in the second half 9-2. A strong game from Serdan Bircan and Alex Bruce saw a joint Man of Match.

Come down to Nijong next Saturday as the Tigers play bottom of the table GWC Staggs at 1pm.

Saturday saw a nail biter at Jindabyne when the Pigs took on the Crookwell Dogs.

With two key players sidelined through injury in Ian Vaggs and Connor Duncomb, the Pigs, with the adjusted side proved how much they are improving by going down 19-17. The first half was an end to end struggle which saw two tries a piece with tries to half back Robbie Morris (The Brumby Bar and Bistro) and the Pig’s winger Tim Burgess (Snowy Mountains Physio) to go in at the half 12 all.

The second half saw the Pigs and the Dogs pound each other’s line to no avail until the 70th minute mark when Crookwell crossed out wide to go out to a 19-12 lead.

For the next nine minutes Jindabyne played with rugged defence and pushed the Dogs until they

scored with one minute remaining out wide through Jarrod Cummings (Woolworths) with a side line kick to draw the game. The kick brushed the posts outside and the final score was 19-17 to Crookwell.

The Jindabyne players each week have shown amazing improvement against the comps top sides and are heading for the winner’s circle sooner rather than later. Points for the week went to 3 Robbie Morris and Players Player. 2 to Tallow Baillie. 1 Shane Ronnfeldt.

Next week the Pigs are again at home to Boorowa and with the return of all players should come away with the win. A big thanks to another senior sponsors in Jindy Auto Miss Piggies lost to Uni Norths in a trial match 35-5

Good turn out for barrel racing clinic at Cooma showground

There was a good turn-out for a two-day barrel racing clinic at Cooma Showground last weekend, held by Michelle O’Neill and Del Edwards.

Pictured above, Del demonstrates an exercise and at right, the participants line-up in the rodeo arena.

Busy time for Delegate Pony Club members On Saturday April 2, seven Delegate Pony Club riders and parents ventured to Snowy River Pony Club grounds at Dalgety where they participated in a rally with the club.

Here they were graded in jumping by Sarah Woodhouse so that they could participate in jump classes at the gymkhana the following day. The riders also worked through most of the sporting activities they would be competing in the next day. The Snowy River Pony Club were very welcoming to all our members and they all learnt so much and had a fun afternoon.

Following a night of camping, Sunday April 3 presented a lovely day for the gymkhana which for most of the members was their first. We had eight riders attend and they represented Delegate Pony Club well.

The day consisted of aged groups competing in a rider class, numerous sporting events and jumping.

All the kids had a great day and it was a great confidence boost for them with every

rider coming home with a ribbon. Aspen Cameron received age champion with Dustin Voveris a close second receiving age champion runner up.

On Sunday April 10, 11 Delegate Pony Club riders met for their monthly rally day.

After learning so many new things at the gymkhana the riders were very keen to get back in the saddle and work on the Stockman’s Challenge Activities.

The junior riders worked through awareness activities, preparing both rider and ponies of different objects that they might come across at other venues, followed by sporting activities.

The older riders worked through dressage techniques. After lunch both groups combined for jumping.

Everything the instructors and riders are working on at the moment is getting them prepared for Delegate Pony Club 2016 Gymkhana.

From Wednesday April 13 through to Saturday April 16, Delegate Pony Club had

seven riders represent the club at Bega Pony Camp.

The riders rode in a parade down the main street of Bega with their DPC flag raised proudly. The riders worked very hard in different areas workshops, riding class, sporting, jumping, camp drafting, western riding, handler class and mounted games, they did flat work, dressage, horse soccer, vet talk, gymkhana, versatlity, equitation, talent quest, scavenger hunt and games at night. Thanks to all the kids and their parents for attending and representing our beautiful pony club. Well done to you all.

If you would like more information about Delegate Pony Club or would like to attend one of our rally days please contact us via email - delegateponyclub@hotmail.com or message on our Facebook page - Delegate Pony Club. We welcome new members at any of the rally days.

Cooma Stallions bring home a win from Eden The Cooma Stallions have come away with a good result securing a 36-24 victory against Eden away in what was always expected to be a difficult road trip.

Cooma was very clinical in the first half with structure for the whole 40 minutes to go in to the half time break with a 20-12 lead.

First grade coach Todd Williams attributes the win to more direction from the halves, improved attitude and discipline, and a strong defensive effort in the second half.

Cooma again started well in the second half but handling areas and a dominant Eden forward pack put the pressure back on the Stallions.

They responded well to the pressure with solid goal line defence, at one stage holding out the Eden attack for six or seven minutes in the third quarter.

“The goal line defence was unreal. They had big boys running hard and the defence held,” Williams said.

“We won the game off a good start and our second half defence.”

“We have some things to work on like not lapsing off in the second half when we’re doing big work in defence.”

Training will also see a focus on capitalising on possession after coming out of the game with a 60% completion rate.

Matty Salvestro at fullback is making waves as the in form player of the year with a mammoth defensive effort stopping opposing players in their tracks.

Richie Bensley also performed well playing big minutes and Williams said he is improving every game.

An injury to halfback Astin Nunan saw Josh Steinke come off the bench and taking control of the game through the halves.

“It’s unreal to be able to have someone come in and take over at just 18 in his first

year of first grade,” Williams said.

Clint Dunn was a big impact off the bench and Williams praised the efforts of the forwards saying they are laying a good platform for the halves.

Williams said he is happy with his team’s performance in Eden and feeling good about how the Stallions are currently positioned.

“Eden is a tough road trip and it is a massive effort to come away with the two points.

“I’m getting more confident as we progress as a side. The halves are taking control and confidence within the team is growing,” he said.

Next week there is a general bye for ANZAC Day which will give players the opportunity to work on fitness and get over any niggling injuries before they take on Bateman’s Bay. OMA UN ITED CO

Fillies continue to improve The young and improving Cooma Fillies lost game four of the season, 24 to nil to the Eden Tigers. The score does not reflect the improved display from the inexperienced Fillies. Fielding their most inexperienced side of the year and with an average age of just 16 years and making their first road trip, the girls did themselves proud allowing just 12 points in each half.

Everyone should be extremely proud of their continued improvement and without doubt these girls will be challenging some of the more fancied sides in the months to come. Best on ground for the Fillies was Hayley Morris who was awarded three points, Keyara

Marshall received two points, Katey Patricks and Jess Povey received one point each.

This Sunday the Fillies have a bye, they will return to action with another away game on Sunday May 1 against Batemans Bay. The girls would like to thank all those who travelled to Eden to support them on the weekend and are looking forward to the next two weeks of hard training before the Batemans Bay game.

Fifth placing for Dane Cooma Soccer Club scores a facility upgrade

Pictured at Nijong Oval on Monday with Member for Monaro John Barilaro, Harry Hovasapien, David Reading, Libby Hovasapien and Matt Burke.

Scooter rider Dane Freimanis has continued his run of good form coming fifth in the open division of the Australasian Scooter Championships.

Dane qualified by winning the NSW Championships held at the Central Coast in March and competed in the Australiasian Championships in Brisbane on April 9 and 10.

The Championships include the best riders from Australia and New Zealand and as one of the youngest riders in the open division it is a big accomplishment for Dane to have finished in the top five.

Pictured, Dane Freimanis and the other placegetters.

Work to improve facilities at Cooma’s Nijong Oval is complete, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro said today.

A new safety fance has been constructed courtesy of funding through the NSW Government.

Cooma Soccer Club received the $6,325 grant through the Community Building Partnership scheme which aims to develop, maintain and improve facilities by funding projects across the state.

Mr Barilaro met with Cooma Soccer Club members yesterday to inspect the work.

Sports clubs play an incredibly important role in helping to preserve the health and wellbeing of the community,” said Mr Barilaro.

“I have no doubt that the completion of this project will allow the Cooma Soccer Club to continue to fulfil this function in the region.”

“Beyond health and wellbeing, recreational sport is instrumental in promoting community engagement.

“The NSW government’s initiative to ensure that these clubs are supported I believe is a fantastic mechanism by which this is promoted in the region.”

Red Devils never-say-die 23-17 win over Vikings FIRST GRADE Cooma took on the Tuggeranong Vikings on Saturday at Rotary Oval in what turned out to be a great game of rugby.

Unbeaten so far this year and the defending premiers, Tuggeranong were going to be a real challenge for the Red Devils.

However the Cooma team was not phased by their more illustrious opponents and took the game to them from the opening whistle.

The first 10 minutes saw hard running open rugby and punishing defence. Once again Josh Fraser, Pat Egan and Jackson Reed were in the thick of the action.

Cooma’s ball movement was sharp and the attack looked well organised thanks to fly half Ryan Morgan. At the 10-minute mark inside centre Darcy Larritt charged on to a well weighted pass and ripped through the Tuggeranong defence to score. Ryan Morgan converted the try and Cooma led 7-0.

Tuggeranong was able to score an unconverted try to trail 7-5 after 21 minutes.

At the stroke of half time Grigor Wallace matched the efforts of his centre partner Darcy and scored a brilliant try. Ryan Morgan converted and Cooma went to half time leading 14-5.

Tuggeranong struck first in the second half with a try after only four minutes. The successful conversion narrowed Cooma’s lead to 14-12. Both sides continued to throw everything they had at each other.

Tuggeranong were penalised near their 22 metre line and with advantage to Cooma Ryan Morgan kicked a field goal to give the Red Devils a five-point lead 17-12.

More ill discipline from the Vikings resulted in a penalty to Cooma which Ryan had no difficulty in kicking to give Cooma a much needed eight point buffer. With the score at 20-12 and 22 minutes to play Tuggeranong lifted and the tempo of the game rose.

However, no matter what Tuggeranong threw at Cooma the defence held. The Vikings were playing wide and stretching Cooma’s defence at every opportunity. There was some inspirational defence during the next 10 minutes with Leighton Bates, Phil Johnson and Jake McIlvenney working hard at the edges of the ruck. James Strange and Andrew Rolfe were rock solid in the middle of the defence.

With eight minutes to go Tuggeranong finally got the better of Cooma scoring in the corner. Matt Cusbert and Jakob Stewart were only centimetres away from forcing their opponent over the sideline. The try was converted and Cooma now led 20-17.

Another penalty goal to Ryan Morgan extended Cooma’s lead to 23-17.

The remaining two minutes of the game were frantic.

The Red Devils conceded penalty after penalty in their 22 and Tuggeranong desperately looked for the converted try that would win them the game. Their desperation was matched by some individual heroics from Cooma.

Firstly fullback Matt Cusbert made a great tackle which saved an almost certain try.

Then on the right wing replacement Kalhem Jones bungled his opponent into touch just metres from the try line. But the tackle of the

day belonged to Jakob Stewart who threw all of his 50 kilos at a man twice his size and put him on his back to the delight of his team mates and the Cooma crowd.

With normal time expired and Vikings in possession the referee awarded another penalty to the visitors only five metres from Cooma’s try line.

The big Vikings forwards pounded away but replacement forward Adam Schubert combined with Kalhem Jones to hold an opponent up over the try line and end the game.

What seemed to be the longest two minutes in history ended with the Red Devils running out winners 23-17.

Pat Egan received 3 points for his remarkable enthusiasm and endurance, Phil Johnson received 2 points and Darcy Larritt and Josh Fraser shared 1 point each. Phil Johnson was voted Players’ Player.

SECOND GRADE Tuggeranong are the defending premiers in this grade also and showed why with a 10 try to two victory over a gallant Cooma team.

The Vikings had scored 94 points in their first two games and conceded only 12.

The score was not an accurate reflection of the game as Cooma conceded six tries in the second half to give the visitors a big win.

Outsized once again and with an average age of 21, the Cooma forwards punched well above their division to hold on to their opposing pack.

It was a tough day for Luke van der Plaat who packed down against a man who

admitted to being 160 kilos.

Luke didn’t give an inch and inspired his fellow forwards.

The Hudson brothers Ismail and Azzam were sensational in defence with their low tackling.

Unlike last week the Red Devils enjoyed more possession and showed glimpses of what is to come this season for a team that comprises 10 players who are 20 years old or younger.

Led by their inspirational captain Adam Schubert the boys rallied at every opportunity, Adam was a constant threat in attack breaking the line and scoring Cooma’s first try.

Flanker James Moore showed great skill and composure as he kicked through a dropped ball from the Vikings before outrunning his opponents to score.

The hard working Brad Evans converted James’ try to give Cooma their 12 points.

Despite the loss the boys remained upbeat and looking forward to next week’s clash against Canberra Royals.

Points this week went to Adam Schubert (3), James Moore (2) and James Thompson and Azzam Hudson (1). Our 16 year old fullback Will Moore edged out his captain to win Players’ Player.

Before kick off both teams stood in a minute’s silence in memory of our former team mate James Cole who passed away one year ago.

Our thanks to the Tuggeranong Rugby Union Club and the match officials Anne and Robert Nelson for their co-operation.

Bombala Blue Heelers three from four at Bemboka

On Saturday April 16, the Bombala Blue Heelers travelled down to Bemboka for a day of tough footy in the drizzly weather conditions.

High Heelers The Bombala girls had the tough task of playing back-toback games against Merimbula Hot Doggies and then the Bemboka Pink Panthers.

With plenty of numbers, the High Heelers put together hard working, skilled, high energy arrangements on the field which proved too good for both the opponents, with both scores ending up at 36-0.

Tries were scored by Patrice Clear (sponsored by Clear Cut Electrical and Rural Services) with great vision and speed, Abbey Ingram (sponsored by KH & WR Ingram) with her hard line running, Abbey Kimber (sponsored by J & J Exterior & Interior Design) by darting through defence, Kayley Keavey (sponsored by Dommo’s Shearing) with a sneaky step, Keiarna Rodwell (Rodwell Haulage and Plant Hire) with lightning moves, Kristy Nicholls (sponsored

by One Agency Bombala) hitting great holes, Katie Piesley (D & M Automotive) finishing off a wellstructured set play, Annie McGrath (sponsored by Bitz and Pizzas) running at pace, Chloe Murphy with some skilled shimmying through the line, and of course the try scoring machine Tash Stewart (sponsored by Raw Strength & Fitness Bombala) out-pacing the opposition on four occasions.

Players player and three points for the first game against Merimbula went to captain Patrice Clear, two points went to the hard running Kayley Keavey and one point was shared between the fearless Georgie Clarke (sponsored by The Monaro Post) and Chloe Murphy (sponsored by Final Touches Bombala).

In the second game against Bemboka, players player and three points went to the evasive Keiarna Rodwell, two points to speedster Tash Stewart and one point went to play-marker extraordinaire Monique Ingram (sponsored by Fortitude Physiotherapy).

Reserve Grade had the injection of a few experienced additions to the team this week and these players definitely gave the Blue Heelers an edge on the Candelo/Bemboka United Panthers Reserve Grade side. The opposition were the first to score and convert the try before Mitch Lynch scored for Bombala in the ninth minute. Bailey Jones shortly after scored a try and converted it to bring the score to 10-6.

John Peck was next to muscle over the line with a great offload from Jackson Standen, Jones then converted the try, the Blue Heelers extended their lead to 16-6.

A knock on off the kick off gave the Panthers some handy field position and they managed to score, taking to score to 16-12 to the Blue Heelers.

There was some strong defence by Mitch Lynch on the line to keep the Bulldogs out going into half time. A short kick off by the Blue Heelers allowed Matt Stone to pounce on the ball and regain possession for the Heelers and continue with some great set plays.

It was the Panthers massive number 7, Josh Cochrane, that was next to score as he steamrolled over the line through the Heelers defence. He converted his own try to bring the score to 16-12 in the Heelers favour. There was a scrum in the Panthers end and with some strong hit ups by Jackson Standen and Clay Stewart the Heelers were in great field position. Bailey Jones was extremely safe under the high ball and ran the ball to the line with pace.

It was the captain Clay Stewart who busted through the defence on the line to score next to the posts, off an exceptional pass from John Peck. Jones converted the try to bring the score to 22-12 the Heelers way. Pat Gaudie demonstrated great ball skills plucking the ball out of the air off the kick off and running it up with gusto.

It was shortly after that the game was unfortunately called off due to injury. Final score was 22-12 to the Blue Heelers.

Players player went to Paul Gimbert, three points to Mitch Lynch, two points to Alex Rosten and one point to John Peck.

First Grade kicked off with the lights brightening up the field. Strong hit ups from Jackson Standen, Malcolm Stone and Joe Bobbin, demonstrated that the Blue Heelers meant business on the field.

A great loose ball pick up from Digby Walcott and well placed chip kick in-goal from Paul Perkins had the Merimbula/

Pambula Bulldogs working hard in defence.

It wasn’t until the 24th minute that the Bulldogs got some possession near their line and eventually pushed through out wide to score the first points, conversion successful, score 6-0 to the Bulldogs.

The Heelers worked the ball to their end and were unfortunate not to score off a set move under the posts. The persistence and patience of the Bulldogs got them close enough to their own line to put Haywood Fraser in for a try, with the conversion successful, it was a 12-0 score line at half time, the Heelers with a chase on their hands. Great start to the second half, the Heelers showing strength in defence through Charlie Lomas. Andrew Guthrie found a hole and ran through to score under the posts for the Heelers and converted his own try. 12-6 the scoreline.

The Bulldogs continued to test the Heelers defence and again with a precision kick to the corner managed to score points in the 49th minute, 16-6 the score. A short kick off was gathered up by Gary Giles who made an explosive run and spurred the Heelers on. With some hard running and great hands by Malcolm Stone and Tyler Jones, it was the captain/coach, Joe Bobbin in for a try out to the right of the posts. The score then 16-10 to the Bulldogs. Another try to the Bulldogs in the 56th minute finished the score at 22-10. A great exhibition of football from both sides. Players player was Jackson Standen, three points went to Andrew Guthrie, two points to Gary Giles and one point to Tyler Jones.

The club sends out a huge thank you to the support crew for the Bombala Blue Heelers, to the strappers, league-safe runners, sports trainers, Bombala RSL club and especially all those who committed to travel down to Bemboka to show their support to the Bombala and District RLFC players.

With a week off this coming week of Anzac Day, players will rest and recover to be at full strength for the next Round 4 game against Bega in Bega on May 1. The Club encourages supporters to make it to the Bega game to help get the Heelers over the line in Round 4.

The Anzac weekend brings with it the representative games for Group 16 against various other country Rugby League groups to be played at Batemans Bay on Saturday April 23. With locals Luke Ingram and Joe Bobbin selected to play for the men and High Heeler ladies – Patrice Clear, Monique Ingram, Chloe Murphy, Tash Stewart, Abbey Kimber, Kiearna Rodwell, Jane Peadon and Georgie Clarke all selected in the ladies league tag team, Bombala RLFC would like to wish these players all the best and know they will do our club proud.

Coomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Red Devils proved their mettle on Saturday with a solid win over competition leaders Tuggeranong Vikings at Rotary Oval.

First grade took an early lead and held it against the odds to win convincingly.

In Reserve grade, a young Red Devils team was up against a

much older and very much heavier Vikings outfit, but played well to score 12 points against the ladder leaders.

Pictured is some of the action from both grades.
