THE NEWSPAPER OF THE SNOWY MONARO REGION

And then it snowed...

Last week saw some magnificent falls of snow across the Monaro and Snowy Mountains, which caused joy and some problems.

While skiers and boarders have been delighted with the fresh powder dumped on the mountains, the falls last Tuesday night caused chaos on roads in the mountains.

Jindabyne police spent the whole shift assisting drivers and directing traffic as cars slid off roads or became stuck.

The call went out on Wednesday - if you don’t need to travel on the roads, then please don’t.

Fire services kept busy Fire and Rescue attended a house fire on Jerangle Road at Bredbo on Monday July 11. Fire fighters arrived to find the house alight but were able to quickly contain the fire, which was in the roof of the house. No one was injured.

A small kitchen fire, believed to have been caused by a short in the cook top, started in a unit in Sharp Street, Cooma on Friday July 15.

NSW Fire and Rescue quickly attended, putting out the fire before any damage was caused.

The steam from an iron triggered an automatic alarm in the Hain Centre on Friday July 15. Fire and Rescue officers encourage people to be aware of where their detector is in their home or workplace and try to avoid triggering it accidently.

Happy birthday to Ladies Probus The Cooma Ladies Probus Club has just celebrated its 20th birthday.

The first meeting of the club was on 12 June 1996. Seven ladies attended with two apologies. By the end of their first year there were 60 members of the club.

There are still three inaugural members who are part of the club today, Beryl Seears, Phyllis McLean and Heather Little. Heather was the first president of the Ladies Probus and is now a life member. She is still very passionate about it.

“I have made many good friends through the club,” she says, “Some of whom I would never have met if it weren’t for joining.”

Each monthly meeting has a guest speaker and a member speaker, which makes for interesting discussion for the group. They also arrange many day trips throughout each year, and a few weekly trips away also, which Heather says is one of the most enjoyable and interesting experiences being involved in the club. One of her highlights is a walking group that existed as part of the Probus Club

in the early 2000s.

“We used to go on day walks through Cooma, Numeralla, Countegany, Brown Mountain, Thredbo and all sorts of places.”

Once retiring from her lab assistant position in the science department at Monaro High School, where she had been for 19 years, Heather found the Ladie Probus Club a great way to stay active.

The Club trips take the members all over the country, with a group having just come back from Mildura and Sheparton, and another one planned to Sydney to see Andre Rieu’s satellite concert in Canberra at the end of the month.

Current president Hazel McKenzie-Kay says that one of the things she has noticed about the club is the informal exchange of

information between the members. “When we get together for our meetings, women do tend to chatter, and I have found that many swap stories about various medical treatments and tell each other what services are available in the community,” she says, “Recently there was a swapping of ideas as to what activities they could do with their grandchildren during the holidays. There is a great amount of information that gets passed around.”

She also said that with many members unfortunately being widows, it is a lovely chance for them to have some company and enjoy a social life.

The aim of Probus is to bring together retired people to advance intellectual and cultural

interests, provide regular opportunities to progress healthy minds and active bodies, to expand interests and make new friends.

At the recent 20th birthday celebration, Beryl Seears, who has recently turned 90, made a special cake for the meeting. About 35 members attended the meeting where Betty Braden was the guest speaker from the University of the Third Age (U3A) and Margaret Wainwright was the member speaker. It was followed by a luncheon with members of the Cooma Men’s Probus Club also invited to the special occasion.

Coroner’s finding on murder suicide Selwyn sale now complete highlights mental health stigma Elle Mackintosh The stigma surrounding mental health in rural communities has come to the fore after a coronial inquest into the deaths of two local men this week.

Benjamin Green and William Markee were involved in a tragic murder suicide in Nimmitabel last year. The coronial inquest into their deaths was held in Cooma Court on Monday July 18 and has attributed undiagnosed mental illness to be a contributing factor to the incident.

At 3am on May 15, 2015 ‘Bill’ Markee shot Benjamin Green in the head with a .22 calibre rifle while he lay sleeping in his home.

It was not until 8am that Mr Markee was discovered by police in his vehicle, having deliberately shot himself.

Losing two well-known and loved members of the community, the people of the Monaro were shocked by the deaths in the small town of Nimmitabel, south of Cooma.

Trying to make sense of his actions, the inquest focused on Mr Markee’s state of mind leading up to the event. Three long time friends of Mr Markee took to the stand on Monday to give evidence. Alan McGufficke, Michael Schofield and Roger Roach each described their observations of Mr Markee’s decline of mental wellbeing. They described signs of delusion, obsession and paranoia in Mr Markee’s behaviour following the breakdown of his marriage.

Amanda Elliot married Mr Markee in 2008, and after problems including trying to get

Mr Markee to seek help, they separated in 2009.

After the separation, Mr Markee’s friends noticed that he became quite depressed and fixated on the property settlement involved in the divorce. The inquest heard that Mr Markee believed his movements were being tracked, his phone tapped and that he was under camera surveillance. He believed Ms Elliot was behind this surveillance to try and determine what assets he had. No evidence has been discovered to suggest that these claims were accurate. He also indicated to many friends that he was trying to disperse his assets to avoid having to hand them over to Ms Elliot.

One of those assets was a 1,700 acre property on Ironmungie Road, Bungarby.

The Green brothers, Benjamin, Hubert and Arthur, purchased this property from Mr Markee in March 2014 for $320,000. Mr Markee knew the brothers through working together as shearers and they were good friends.

Some months before the incident, Mr Markee told friends that Hubert Green asked him to help with some farming work one day. Upon returning home, Mr Markee told friends that he discovered some important documents were missing. He believed these documents would assist him in the property settlement case, and without them he would lose everything.

As a result he believed that the Green brothers were working with Ms Elliot to try and take his assets from him. Again, there is no evidence to suggest Mr Markee’s

Kevin James Blyton, Chairman of the Blyton Group has announced the completed purchase of Selwyn Snow Resort.

The purchase of Selwyn Snow Resort was first announced in October 2015 and was then followed by a consent approval process undertaken by the National Parks and Wildlife Service, which was concluded on June 28.

NSW’s most affordable snow resort, Selwyn Snow Resort is located in the northern part of the Kosciuszko National Park with accommodation available in nearby Adaminaby.

The resort offers guests 10 lifts and 45 hectares of skiable terrain, as well as a dedicated Toboggan and Tube Park.

Established in 1966, Selwyn Snow Resort caters perfectly to beginners

and families with more than 80 percent of the terrain suitable for beginners and intermediates. The resort has extensive snowmaking facilities, covering over 30 hectares.

Selwyn was the first Australian resort to have 100 percent of its terrain open for the 2016 snow season, with its terrain enabling the resort to open runs quickly on a smaller base of snow.

Kevin Blyton said “the acquisition is a great addition to my group of companies. Selwyn has a superb history of offering a great value snow experience to the public, which will continue into the future.”

perception.

This event was determined as the catalyst for the Mr Markee’s actions on May 15 last year. It is also clear from his actions in the weeks leading up to the incident that there was some planning involved. Mr Markee had moved a lot of his belongings to friends sheds, had given away his dog and written several notes intended to be read after his death.

A statement from Acting Director of Mental Health Services for the Southern NSW Local Heath District, Nicola Yates, was submitted for the inquest.

In it she stated, “People in rural communities and men from farming communities in particular are often reluctant to seek help, with fear of stigma and concern for their privacy within close knit communities contributing to the reasons for this.”

Ms Yates also said that there are services available, however it is up to the individual or a loved one to instigate that first step. The number to call to access Mental Health Services in this region is 1800 011 511.

Magistrate Grahame stated in her formal findings that the issue was not the lack of mental health services available in the community, but rather that Mr Markee could not understand that he needed urgent help.

“As citizens, we must continue to look out for those in our community who seem to be struggling. We must do our best to steer them towards professional help and support all their attempts to find effective treatment.”

Thirty years services at nursing home Not only is she the longest serving staff member, she is one of the most loved.

Moya Shanley has just celebrated 30 years working at the Sir William Hudson Memorial Centre in Cooma.

First employed by the nursing home in 1986 as a casual fill-in for someone on leave, Moya was offered a full time position after only seven weeks on the job, which she gladly accepted. Working in the kitchen and doing domestic duties, Moya was moved to the newly opened Arthur Miles wing where she was a carer for five years.

Looking to slow down and spend more time helping her family run their property ‘Homeleigh’, Moya moved back to the kitchen to work part time. She has been there ever since.

During her time, Moya has seen many changes to the nursing home.

“People these days are tending to stay at home much longer, putting off coming into

Residents Shirley and Meg sit with Moya, who is celebrating 30 years of service at Sir William Hudson nursing home. a nursing home for as long as they can,” she says.

“This means that when they do come here they require a much higher level of care, which means there is a heavier load of work for the nurses and carers.”

“We are really lucky to have a place like Sir William Hudson here. It is a great facility.”

Moya says her favourite thing about working at the nursing home is the friends she has

made, not only in the staff, but the residents as well.

“I become very close to the residents here,” she says, “I like to talk with them, make them laugh and try to brighten their day as much as I can.”

“Many of the residents here are off the land, so I often talk with them about lamb prices and what is happening on our property so that they don’t feel like they are missing out.”

What’s on at the

Centre gave Moya her first permanent job, for which she was very grateful.

Having worked as a casual in many different kitchens and cafes for years, it was the security she was looking for.

“I had also always wanted to do caring, and Sir William Hudson gave me that opportunity.”

Although Moya says that although it is often a difficult job, she and the other staff try to make it as enjoyable as possible for one another by sharing many laughs.

24/7 Customer Service A 24/7 customer service hotline is now available to residents and visitors of the Snowy Monaro Region.

Council’s out-of-hours call centre went live on Friday July 8 allowing residents with an issue to call any time day or night.

“The new hotline is another initiative undertaken by Council to provide high quality customer service. While our afterhours emergency numbers are available on our website, this centralised point of call will make contacting Council in an emergency easier,” said Administrator Dean Lynch.

Council is responding to the growing concerns of residents who work long hours and are unable to contact Council during opening hours. Along with others who have limited access to the internet, unable to view our website or send through emails.

“You can now report concerns 24/7 and the community can take comfort in knowing they have access to the Council at all times” said Mr Lynch.

The Southern Star (Southern Phones) call centre is operating the service from 5pm weekdays and all day over the weekends.

“I hope the community finds the new service helpful and we appreciate any feedback,” said Mr Lynch.

Council are pleased to launch this new service knowing that anyone can call the new phone number, 1300 345 345, at any time day or night and be able to speak to a customer service operator.

Disabled parking moved closer

The disabled car parks at Cooma Hospital have been moved from the main entrance adjacent to the ambulance parking bays.

The new parking spots are at the top of the main entrance, allowing room for three

additional spaces.

Hospital manager Antje Badger said the new parks are still in very close proximity to the main entrance and will free up room for ambulances, emergency vehicles and doctor parking.

The vision of the JCCC is “to provide local health services to the local community and put Jindabyne on the health map�.

The Committee also provides information to the local community on the planning and work of the Southern NSW Local Health District; including important information promoting good health and disease prevention.

The JCCC, holds monthly meetings and is an integral part of planning for the future health services and needs of the region’s population.

Barilaro announces “a modern TAFE NSW for the Monaro�

A modernised structure for TAFE NSW will reduce overheads, direct more resources to frontline teaching and guarantee TAFE is meeting the training and skills needs of the Monaro, the Member for Monaro and Minister for Skills John Barilaro said on Friday.

Mr Barilaro said the NSW Government’s vision for once-in-a-generation reform of TAFE NSW will see the independent Institute structure dissolved and replaced with a single, multi-campus TAFE NSW. Locally, a new Information Technology Infrastructure project will be rolled out in Queanbeyan and Cooma designed to increase student access to technology enabled learning environments. “This reform is about providing more choice, better access and convenient training for our students to help them get the jobs of the future,� said Mr Barilaro. “It will make significant savings on back office administration and management which will be reinvested back into training and skilling more people in NSW.� “Across the Monaro the NSW Government is investing in roads, health and education infrastructure but we need to ensure TAFE NSW is equipped to deliver the skilled workforce to help build it. “Importantly, for every $1 million saved through

this reform, the NSW Government can subsidise the training for 250 extra students to help them get their first job, or upskill for their next career step.�

Mr Barilaro said the 25-year-old TAFE Institute model was designed to create competition between the Institutes to increase student choice; however, with the variety of options available today TAFE doesn’t need to compete with itself. “Excessive overheads, a large and underutilised asset base, and inflexible workforce arrangements are diverting valuable Government funding away from the most important job TAFE has – training our workforce of the future,� he said. “This year, the NSW Government will subsidise up to 550,000 places in vocational training which will help people into their first job, or reskill into a new job and TAFE NSW has an important role to play in helping people achieve their career goals.�

Under these reforms, the NSW Government will also: • Open a series of brand new Flexible Learning Centres from February 2017 – giving remote and disadvantaged students access to TAFE training and teaching across the network • Create a new TAFE Digital Education headquarters in regional NSW; and • Reinvest any money from land or asset sales back into TAFE NSW.

Combating tree dieback on the Monaro A tree dieback project run by the Upper Snowy Landcare group has received funding from the NSW Government, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro announced on Monday.

Mr Barilaro said the group had been successful in receiving a $5000 NSW Government Conservation grant to help them carry out their dieback project.

“Tree dieback is a hug problem affecting up to 5000sqkms a cross the Monaro with the main species affected being the Eucalyptus Manna or Ribbon Gums”, Mr Barilaro said.

“Upper Snowy Landcare is currently undertaking a revegetation trial planting out site

between Cooma and Berridale with native trees and shrubs.

“One of the key elements of the project is education and training; this grant will help produce a ‘how to guide’ which will be given to landowners an training workshops will also be staged.

“This is a hands-on opportunity for the community to learn about dieback and get involved in replanting native vegetation of the Monaro”, Mr Barilaro said.

Pictured at the Kelton Plain replating site on Monday are Lauren van Dyke, John Barilaro, Anna Rudd and Harry Bentley.

Fund-raiser for Nimmity Pre-school Council Catch Up The Bombala Multi Purpose Service Outlet has successfully completed a review of their aged care services delivered from the Bombala Community Centre. Prior to the announcement of the Snowy Monaro Regional Council, Bombala Council had a review undertaken of their aged care services in Bombala. The Australian Aged Care Quality Agency, a federal government body, assessed the services provided by the Multi Service Outlet and identified a number of minor issues in the initial phase of the assessment.

The final report from the Agency states the Review has now been completed and that the required standards have been met in all service areas including: - Home Maintenance - Meals on Wheels - Home Modifications - Domestic Assistance - Group Social Support - Individual Social Support - Specialist Support Services The council resources required to participate in a review are substantial and I recognise the significant contribution made by the staff at the Bombala Multi Service Outlet. The requirements of the agency are very stringent. Having met the quality standards the Bombala Multi Service Outlet have demonstrated the capacity to deliver services to our community to the highest national standard. Snowy Monaro Regional Council is very pleased to have such a high quality standard of service in the Bombala region for our aged residents, and I encourage staff to continue with the quality work they have undertaken. The next Quality Review is scheduled for 2018.

Our Snowy Monaro Local Representative Committees have been meeting and getting business underway. They have been assessing issues across their regions and reporting them to me for action. I’m pleased that members of the public are starting to utilise them local representatives and I think their implementation will be highly successful.

I would like to remind everyone that the Snowy Monaro Regional Council’s Integrated Planning and Reporting Suite for 2017 are now on public exhibition; both on our website and in hard copy at every branch office. Your comments, directed to the General Manager, would be appreciated and valued as these documents are designed to benefit the community as a whole, so please take the time to read them and provide us with any recommendations you may have.

Last Saturday the Nimmitabel Preschool held a wood auction at the Nimmitabel Country Club to raise much needed funds for the preschool and the Nimmitabel Rural Fire Brigade.

A young local man, Huebert Green, organised the event and local auctioneer Pat Cleever auctioned off 14 loads of wood that a lot of locals chopped and loaded on Saturday.

Ernie Constance donated his time to come and sing and play music which added to the atmosphere.

A handmade whip was also donated for the auction which ended up raising $5,709 and a big crowd made it a very successful night.

Members appointed to Southern Planning Panel Joint Regional Planning Panels across the State will undergo a balanced refresh as the Department of Planning and Environment has appointed the new State members for the Southern Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP).

The new independent Chair and State Government appointed members of the Southern JRPP are:

The Cooma Branch of the United Hospital Auxiliary held their annual general meeting on July 14 at the Cooma Hospital.

The meeting was well attended with 15 members present and State Treasurer Chris Smith invited as the guest speaker.

The outgoing president, Bob Weston reported that over the past year the Auxiliary had raised sufficient funds to purchase much needed supplementary equipment for the hospital.

This included a Trigger Aneroid Cuff, an isolation cart, hoist and sling, sight cards, books, a colposcope, an examination light, a digital/analogue clock and CD players.

These last two are being used for the Dementia and Delirium care program. All of these items are now being utilised by the Cooma Hospital. He thanked the Cooma community, service clubs and business houses

for their generous support during the past year.

All money raised by the Cooma branch is used to benefit the Cooma Hospital.

Office bearers elected for the coming year are Lorraine McGregor as President, Bob Weston and Robin Fletcher as Vice Presidents. Jan Carpenter undertook the role as secretary with Beverly Corbett as assistant secretary. Marilyn Weston remains as treasurer assisted by Dorothy Bilbow.

Paul Holcomb takes on the role as publicity officer with Bob Weston as the kiosk co-ordinator, The new committee looks forward to the continued support from the Cooma community for the coming year.

The Auxiliary meets every second Thursday of the month and new members are always welcome.

· Pam Allan · Alison McCabe · Renata Brooks (pictured right) Pam Allan has also been reappointed to continue on in her role as Chair.

Pam Allan and Allison McCabe are joined by Renata Brooks, a government administrator with experience in rural and regional issues.

Panels are independent planning bodies that make decisions on regionally significant applications valued at more than $20 million.

They are led by an independent Chair that has been appointed with the agreement of Local Government NSW and have four other members, with the State Government and local Councils each appointing two

representatives.

State Panel members are appointed based on their expertise in either planning, architecture, heritage, the environment, urban design, land economics, traffic and transport, law, engineering, tourism or government and public administration.

“Planning Panels are an important part of the planning system – ensuring independent decisions are made on projects that are significant to local communities,” a spokesperson for the Department said.

To ensure independence, alternate members are also appointed for when a member needs to sit out on a decision because of a conflict of interest.

Australia commemorates 100th anniversary of the Battle of Fromelles

$5000 richer!

The old no man’s land of Fromelles battlefield viewed from the north-east corner of Sugar Loaf Salient looking towards the line from which the 15th Australian Infantry Brigade began their attack on July 19, 1916. During the engagement the 5th Division, penetrated the third German line, but was forced to withdraw owing to German troops flooding the ditches in which the Australians had entrenched and to the exposure of the flank to heavy artillery and machine gun fire.

Australia remembered its soldiers who fought and died in the First World War Battle of Fromelles one hundred years ago yesterday.

The Battle of Fromelles, west of Lille in France, lasted less than 24 hours and was the first major engagement for Australian soldiers on the Western Front. In the battle, the Australian 5th Division suffered 5,533 casualties, the bloodiest single day in Australia’s military history.

A commemoration service at the Fromelles (Pheasant Wood) Military Cemetery will be held today at 1pm (9pm AEST) attended by the Hon Dan Tehan MP, Minister for Veterans’ Affairs and Defence Materiel, the French Secretary of State for Veterans’ and Commemorations, Jean-Marc Todechini, the Hon Warren Snowdon MP, the Governors of New South Wales, South Australia and Queensland, Chief of Army Lieutenant General Angus Campbell DSC, AM, the Military Governor of Lille, General Bernard Maitrier, and other dignitaries.

At the service there will be a Headstone Dedication for six Australian soldiers who were identified by the Australian Army’s Unrecovered War Casualties Fromelles project team.

The soldiers are Second Lieutenant James Benson from Bundaberg (Qld), Private Justin Hercules Breguet from Geelong (Vic), Private Clifton Sydney Brindal from Sydney (NSW), Private Sidney Broom from Mount Morgan (Qld), Private William

Burke from Parkes (NSW) and Private Robert Thomas Maudsley from Keswick, Adelaide (SA).

Another service was conducted at the memorial wall of the VC Corner Cemetery at 5.15pm (1.15am AEST). The VC Corner Cemetery contains the graves of more than 400 Australian soldiers who died at Fromelles and could not be identified. It is the only solely Australian war cemetery in France.

Mr Tehan said it was difficult to comprehend the scale of Australian losses in the Battle of Fromelles.

“The Anzac spirit of courage and resilience was exemplified on the Western Front and today is an opportunity to pause and reflect on the experiences of those brave soldiers and to be grateful for the service of every Australian man and woman who defends our country,” Mr Tehan said.

“Battlefields such as Fromelles, Pozières, Bullecort, Passchendaele, Le Hamel, VillersBretonneux and Mont St Quentin are part of our history and remain places of great national significance.

“We must remember the service and sacrifice of our soldiers on the Western Front”.

Yesterday’s service marks the start of a series of 100-year anniversaries of battles involving Australians on the Western Front. A service to commemorate the anniversary of the Battle of Pozières will be held on Saturday.

Landslip closes road to Victoria VicRoads advises motorists the Snowy River Road is closed between Wulgulmerang and Suggan Buggan following a landslip caused by recent heavy rainfall.

As a result there is no through-access from Victoria to the NSW border via the Snowy River Road.

The usual detour for the area at McKillops Road has been closed following flood damage, and the only way to access the northern side of the slip is via NSW, which takes a full day.

VicRoads Director Eastern Region Scott Lawrence said less than 50 vehicles a day use the Snowy River Road, mostly locals travelling south.

“Most affected are locals north of the slip as they are without vehicle access to the south,” he said.

“The road to the north of the slip is less favourable for vehicles and we are working with Snowy Monaro Regional Council to improve access to Jindabyne.

Motorists travelling through the area will have to take an alternate route.”

Eastern Region Alliance, on behalf of VicRoads is working with the communities of Suggan Buggan and Wulgulmerang to ensure their needs are being

met. “Alliance staff made a three-day journey, clearing snow along the way, to visit affected locals on the other side of the slip and update them on the situation and provide assistance,” Mr Lawrence said.

“Phone services are down and we have provided a local woman with a satellite phone.

“We’ve been working directly with the community on solutions and one of those is likely to include 4WD pool vehicles at either side of the slip.”

The road will remain closed indefinitely while a long term solution is investigated.

“The site has been assessed, geotechnical experts and construction engineers are now working on a solution,” Mr Lawrence said.

“The slip occurred in steep, rocky terrain. In fact this road was constructed in the early part of the 20th century with dry stone-fill, placed by hand.”

Mr Lawrence thanked residents and motorists for their patience and understands the inconvenience caused as a result of the closure.

He urged motorists to drive safely while the region was experiencing severe weather conditions and to be vigilant for debris and snow on the roads.

More support for rural homeowners affected by loose-fill asbestos Rural property owners affected by loose-fill asbestos insulation will receive further assistance payments under a program announced by the NSW Government.

The Member for Monaro John Barilaro said $15,000 payments will be available to property owners with more than two hectares as well as $10,000 payments for rental property owners participating in the Government’s Voluntary Purchase and Demolition Program.

Mr Barilaro said the two extra payments would support rural landowners to rebuild on their land and compensate rental property owners for loss of rental income.

“Construction costs are higher in rural areas and it is only fair that the Government provides extra assistance to affected owners in rural NSW,” Mr Barilaro said.

“This $15,000 payment is in addition to the market value of the property and a $10,000 relocation assistance payment.”

Ben in finals of apprentice of year Local carpenter Ben Scott has been recognised for his commitment and dedication to the job having been nominated as a finalist for Apprentice of the Year for the Illawarra South East Region.

Ben has just completed his apprenticeship for Ben Morley and the nomination for the award was put together

by Ben’s wife Kelly, who praised the work of the young carpenter.

“He’s passionate about the job and the business to the extent where if something went wrong he would take it personally.”

“He is a good face of the business… He puts his heart and soul in to it, he’s a very good employee. He’s a very committed, hard worker.”

“He always wants to get the job done and the quality of his work is of a very high standard,” Kelly said.

Ben’s employers described him as a very humble person who is serious about his job.

His plans for the future involve continuing to work in the industry and make the most of it.

“I’m still loving the job at the moment and taking it day by day,” Ben said.

Additionally, the NSW Government will provide $10,000 in rental income assistance for rental property owners, equal to the relocation assistance available to owner-occupiers.

“The $10,000 payment is roughly equal to about five months’ rent and rental property owners will need to demonstrate their property is mortgaged and has been vacant for at least five months prior to selling to the Government,” Mr Barilaro said.

These new payments are part of a range of assistance available under the Voluntary Purchase and Demolition Program.

Free sample testing is available to owners of pre-1980s residential premises in identified NSW local government areas.

Owners are required to register by 1 August 2016. Registration can be done online or by calling Service NSW on 13 77 88.

Fundraiser funs Funny times at Cooma Library The Magpie kids soccer teams - which consist of Nimmitabel, Bibbenluke and Bombala players - are inviting everyone to come along and enjoy an exciting Family Night in Nimmitabel this coming Saturday, July 23.

While soccer might not be quite as high profile as junior rugby league at the moment, the district has some really dedicated young players putting in a great effort on the soccer field this year, and the Family Night will be the perfect way to celebrate the season.

The fundraiser will feature live music from fantastic local band, Frock n’ Troll, as well as a tasty curry buffet, all to be enjoyed at the Nimmitabel Country Club.

Frock n’ Troll will present their usual energetic and quirky mix of original songs, traditional Celtic and Australian music, as well as bluegrass and folk tunes.

Band members, Gus and Sherri Olding are parents of two of the Magpie soccer players from Bibbenluke, while Gus is also the Under 10/11s Coach.

And if you’re feeling inspired, there will even be an Open Mic session after dinner, with all singers and players welcome to take the stage to add to the fun of the evening.

You can make a donation at the door if you just want to enjoy the music, but if you’re up for the curry buffet as well it’s just $10 per adult, $5 per child or $25 for the whole family!

It promises to be a great night of good food, music and company, and it’s all about supporting the Magpies, so make sure you come along to the Nimmitabel Country Club this coming Saturday night, July 23 from 6pm.

All warmly welcome. Enquiries to 6458 5369.

Children’s author and entertainer Andy Jones was at the Cooma Library on July 8 putting on a show for 60 kids to keep them entertained during the school holidays. The kids, aged 5-7, enjoyed an interactive performance that included singing, dancing and jokes. Kids who enjoyed the performacne can borrow Andy’s books from the Cooma Library.

The Friends of Errinundra (FoE) is meeting in Delegate this Saturday July 23rd for its AGM and to plan a program for the coming year.

President Deb Foskey said, “We live in a beautiful area with forests of many types from dry sclerophyll to cool temperate rainforest, much of which is protected in national parks.

“We are so lucky to have such significant forests in our backyard. But how often do we visit them?

“Friends of Errinundra (FoE) formed to allow its members to develop a stronger relationship with the Errinundra National Park, but we are also interested in the

Snowy River National Park.

“We work with the rangers to maintain and improve public amenities. Our most recent effort was the clearing of the Old Growth Walk in time for the GoongerahTubbut school children to walk it.

“We have assisted with the erection of noticeboards so that people visiting the Park can find out more about it.

“Learning more about our unique ecosystems is on our agenda to discuss at the AGM. Talks on citizen science, which has found endangered species on the Plateau, and the many and varied fungi as well as a program which is bringing rock wallabies back

to the Snowy River National Park, are possibilities.

“The Errinundra, though it is in Victoria, is of vital interest to Delegate residents as it is the source of Delegate’s water supply.

“It would be great if some more Delegate people joined FoE but everyone is welcome to come to our events,” said Deb Foskey.

Woodsmoke from heaters causing problems As winter continues on the Monaro, some residents are having issues with wood smoke from heaters.

Exposure to woodsmoke can contribute to: Itchy or burning eyes; Breathing difficulties and respiratory illnesses like bronchitis; Headaches, fatigue or chest pain; Decreased lung function in children; and There is also evidence that smoke pollution can aggravate existing heart and ling problems like angina, emphysema and asthma.

Why do woodheaters smoke?

When wood is heated to a high enough temperature it breaks down into a complex mixture of gases. These gases burn in the presence of oxygen to give off heat. If there is not enough oxygen, or not enough heat, the gases will only partially burn and the un-burnt gases will go up the chimney into the air outside.

Once outside, these gases cool down and condense into tiny droplets of oils and tars. These are known as particles. A single particle is far too small to see with the naked eye, but a lot of particles together are seen as woodsmoke. Particles cause many of the environmental and health problems associated with woodsmoke. They are a major source of air pollution in wintertime, especially where many people use woodheaters for home heating.

Why is woodsmoke a problem?

Woodsmoke contains particles so small that, when inhaled, they can cross the lung lining and end up in the blood stream. Woodsmoke also contains other chemicals that can affect our health.

The health problems associated with woodsmoke include asthma, chronic lung disease, heart problems and premature births and deaths. Some of the toxic chemicals in woodsmoke are known to cause cancer.

Woodsmoke in Australia is a problem in many towns and cities on very cold, still nights. The colder temperatures mean that more people leave their woodheaters burning overnight. To keep them burning the firebox is often loaded so full of wood the fire is starved of oxygen. This causes the woodheater to smoulder and produce a lot of smoke. On a still night the problem is made worse as the smoke hangs in the air at ground level without a breeze to blow it away. When this happens the air we breathe can become very polluted.

You can’t have a fire without smoke… or can you?

The hot embers of a wood fire are actually the last stage of the burning process before the fire goes out. They are made up of carbon, commonly

referred to as ‘charcoal’, and almost half the heat that comes from a wood heater comes from these hot embers. The embers burn very cleanly and make hardly any smoke.

If you want to keep your woodheater going overnight, you will make much less smoke if you burn the gases off first, before turning the heater down to reduce the air supply. To do this easily you need to take some of the steps listed below.

How can you make less smoke?

Many people do not realise that smoke is wasted heat that costs money. If the gases from the fire go up the chimney instead of being burnt, there is less heat available to heat your house. You can minimise the amount of smoke from a woodheater if you: • burn only dry, seasoned, untreated wood; • use smaller logs instead of only one large log; • do not pack the fire box too full as this will starve the fire of oxygen and cause it to smoulder; • keep the fire burning brightly for the first 20 minutes after lighting and reloading – the faster you can get the fire going the les smoke there will be; • always have a visible flame if you plan to keep the fire going overnight.

If you are buying a new woodheater, make sure you buy one that conforms to the Australian Standard ‘AS 4013’.

Woodheaters are also rated for their efficiency so one that is 65% efficient will burn less wood for the same amount of heat

than one that is only 60% efficient. Check the label. You will also be better off if you choose one that is the right size for your house. If you buy a heater that can produce more heat than your house needs, you will have to set it to burn slowly.

A big heater burning slowly makes more smoke than a smaller heater burning more quickly.

Changes in technology and better woodheater design now mean that many heaters are rated to burn with much lower levels of emissions than required by the Australian Standard.

Consider purchasing a woodheater with the lowest level of emissions possible.

Alternatives Pellet fuel heaters are a new type of heater on the Australian market. They burn pellets of compressed sawdust , the waste product of sawmilling processes, using a hopper to feed pellets into the firebox without the need for human intervention. Pellet heaters have very low emissions and are almost smokeless. Improving the thermal efficiency of your house may reduce the need for heating. Increased insultation in walls and ceilings, thick curtains with pelmets, increased use of thermal mass in floors and walls can all help to regulate the temperature of a house.

Information on wood smoke and pollution reduction is available from Snowy Monaro Regional Council.

Taking dance to Bateman’s Bay

Twelve girls from Cooma Dance Co attended Follow Your Dreams Dance Competition at Bateman’s Bay last weekend.

They performed 16 dances including solos, duos, trios and troupe dances.

They were awarded 10 first places, four second places, one third place and one honourable mention.

Amy Fraser and Rachel Jones were awarded the highest point score of the whole competition for their duo to ‘Hallelujah’.

Fifteen of the acts qualified for the national finals held in Ballarat next January.

The rep team was only established last year, this was the students’ second

competition as a group. There were six solo students in total and five of these students competing as soloists for the first time.

A lot of the Rep Team students only joined this year so for them it was their first competition.

Organiser Leah McGowan said “It was great to see how they supported each other with some kids arriving long before they were due to perform and staying back late to watch their friends perform.

“I am very proud of how they all performed and I am so happy to see our rep team do so well, particularly considering this is only the second competition that our rep team have competed in as a group”.

Bombala Garden Club luncheon Bonsai growers meet Members of the Bombala and District Garden Club gathered at the Bombala Golf Club on Saturday for their annual luncheon.

Following a delicious home cooked meal provided by Di Ingram and her team, we heard from our guest speaker, Melbourne author, Louise Wilson.

Louise gave a fascinating talk on botanical artist, Margaret Flockton about whom she has recently written a book ‘Fragrant Memories’ which is soon to be released.

Margaret Flockton was born in 1861 and died in 1953. Her work is only now coming to prominence and Louise’s book will certainly highlight this part of our artistic and scientific history.

The Garden Club would particularly like to thank Neil Hennessy who came to the rescue to overcome some technical difficulties prior to the talk - and of course the Golf Club ladies for once again looking after us so well!

Stoneware pots that have been created by amateurs at similar sessions run by Graham in Bombala.

Top: Melbourne author, Louise Wilson spoke at the recent Bombala and District Garden Club annual luncheon on Saturday.

Above: Jason Sutton, Ada Campbell and Hazel Rodwell enjoyed the luncheon at the Golf Club.

Below: Kay Adamson, Robin Feilen and Pam Peadon shared the occasion.

An avid group of Bonsai growers gathered in Bombala on Saturday morning to try their hand at making pots for their trees.

Local bonsai enthusiast, Graham Cook welcomed the small group to his home, with the gathering first spending some time admiring his very impressive collection of bonsai.

Graham then led them through the process of creating their own stoneware pots, with the keen amateurs being very happy with the results of the day.

There are quite a number of bonsai enthusiasts throughout the region, and Graham explains that some of them meet informally at the Centennial Park in Cooma every second Saturday of most

months.

The group discusses all things bonsai during these casual get togethers and even work on the trees they bring along, with all who may be interested being welcome to join them. “We are interested in all aspects of bonsai, starting with collecting trees to create new bonsai, right through to shaping them. It’s a relatively cost effective hobby to take up,� Graham said.

To find out more, contact Graham on 0428 754 198 or email bonsaipotterg1@yahoo.com. au, and he can advise the best time to come along to the Cooma Centennial Park and see what the group is up to.

The Big Lift lends a hand at Dalgety community project

Students from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) recently travelled to Dalgety to assist with community servive as party of the University’s ‘The Big Lift Project’.

The Big Lift was launched in 2010 and is a volunteer project where students assist the community under a

principle of ‘pay it forward’, and ask for nothing in return.

In 2010 the project ran one bus with 40 students and in 2016 this extended to two buses with more than 80 volunteers.

The students visit regional areas to help underresourced community organisations.

During the July midsemester break, The Big Lift takes students on a bus trip through regional Australia 80 students, 10 towns, nine service projects, nine days, two buses.

They visit regional underresourced towns to help them with projects such as land restoration, construction,

and painting - all unskilled labour as the participants come from diverse backgrounds and educations.

The Big Lift aims to: inspire and show people how easy, fun and rewarding it is to give back to others, develop a sense of civic duty and leadership; connect city and international students

with other parts of Australia to discover and learn more about the country and its people; meet new, diverse and yet like-minded people; and to challenge and personally develop oneself.

While in Dalgety the volunteers assisted by doing maintenance work at two houses owned by senior

citizens, helped mulch trees and painted the wool shed for the Dalgety Show Society.

This is the first time The Big Lift has travelled south and the students will visit a number of towns on their way through regional Victoria on their way to Melbourne.

Bombala and Delegate also benefitted from Big Lift The Big Lift from the University of Technology in Sydney visited both Bombala and Dalgety this month.

Founded on the philosophy of ‘Paying it Forward’, The Big Lift is a student run volunteer organisation that takes students on a nine day bus trip through regional Australia to complete community projects.

The Big Lift bus pulled in at Bombala on the evening of July 11, with the group sharing dinner with a few members of the community and staying the night in the Bombala Exhibition Hall.

The next morning the students were up early for breakfast before rolling up their sleeves and taking

on a number of local projects to focus on community engagement.

The group worked closely with the Exhibition Ground Management Committee to prepare timber for new seating around the showground, loading and unloading the donated timber as it was transported to the local Men’s Shed to be cut and sanded.

They also worked on taking down old timber fence pieces and making posts for new ones around the showground, while others removed the many staples that had been put in the walls of the Exhibition Hall during the setup of displays for local events.

Crew Leader, Aditi Das described Bombala as “lovely and welcoming”, and enjoyed engaging with the Exhibition Ground Management Committee, the Men’s Shed and the Snowy Monaro Regional Council during the stay.

“All the townspeople were super friendly and happy to have us and we could not be more grateful and appreciative of all of their kindness,” Aditi said.

After work, lunch was shared with community and council representatives, with The Big Lift crew offering their thanks before departing for their next destination.

Upasana Desai and Daniella Queenan set to work removing staples from the Bombala Exhibition Hall walls.

the

postman calls

The Postman’s dear old grandmother often used to proclaim “the world’s gone mad”!

But that was before the present reign of terror – or is that terrorism – began.

Hate to think what she would make of the most recent cowardly attacks in Nice, the shootings in the USA and coup and counter-coups in Turkey.

One hundred years ago, Australians were shocked by the casualties incurred in the ‘War to end all Wars’.

Five thousand died in one night at Fromelles, fighting to keep Australia safe.

Now we look on in horror as innocent victims are assassinated - in the name of religion.

Nostradamus would appear to have been correct – the anti-Christ has risen up in the east.

Did he, I wonder, foresee how this threat would be dealt with?

How lucky are we to live in this country?

But let us not become too complacent.

John Howard said once, be alert, not alarmed. The Postman thinks he was right!

Karen loving the challenge of managing Currawarna

Facility Manager at Bombala’s Southern Cross Care Currawarna, Karen Brownlie.

Running an aged care facility is no one’s idea of an easy role, and while Bombala’s Karen Brownlie agrees it can be challenging, she assures us not only that she loves her job, but that Currawarna is in fact a very cheerful place to be.

Karen is the Facility Manager at Southern Cross Care Currawarna, the Bombala district’s home for the aged, and she has spent 18 fulfilling years there.

“I actually first talked about applying for a supervisor’s role here as a bit of a laugh. I was working at the hospital as a nurse, and Currawarna and the hospital were not so closely linked then; they really were very separate entities,” Karen says.

“Then I got thinking, well, why don’t I?” After all, Karen had been nursing since she was 17, and the Currawarna job offered better hours with no night shift, as well as a brand new challenge. She took up the supervisor position in 1998 and has been at Currawarna ever since.

Of course over 18 years the game has changed considerably, with Karen explaining that when she first started at the facility, all of the residents had to be able to look after themselves.

“There was no assessing and no bonds to be paid back then,” she explains.

“People could even choose to come and stay for the winter and then go back home again.”

Of course this meant that there were far fewer staff and less training was required, with Karen recalling that in those days there was one carer on duty, one cook, one maid and one member of staff on at night.

There were 40 residents back then, compared to 33 now, and Currawarna currently has 26 members of staff. This makes it one of the biggest employers in the Bombala district.

“My role really changed when Accreditation came into aged care, and we now have 44 strict standards that we have to meet,” Karen explains.

“We had a Board of Management when it first came in, and they were mostly farmers and local business people with very little idea about the new rules that governed aged care, so it was a real shift, and a lot more work for staff.”

The level of care of course changed dramatically also, with Currawarna now being an Ageing in Place provider.

“Basically this means that you come in and age as you live here, then as you get more frail you go into palliative care here as well,” Karen says.

“Before you would stay with us until it was time to move into palliative care at the hospital.”

And another big change came hot on the heels of Accreditation, with bonds being introduced in the early 2000s.

“Previously it was a “pay as you

go” system, so this was a huge change, and suddenly we had empty rooms, as no one wanted to pay upfront,” Karen says.

At first the bonds were about $50,000, and now the maximum is around $300,000, although Karen is quick to point out that the bonds are assets based and determined

by Centrelink, not Currawarna.

“You don’t have to have the actual sum of money upfront, there are various options available,” she explains.

Through this time of change Currawarna was a part of the Catholic Archdiocese, but around 10 years ago the Archdiocese went out of aged care, and a new provider had to be found.

There were six facilities in the same boat, and the Board worked with the Bishop to meet with providers and choose the best option; all but one larger facility went with Southern Cross.

“Among other things, they had the money to renovate the facility, and the move to Southern Cross was the best move we could have made overall in terms of support, education and Accreditation,” Karen says.

And of course the Currawarna of today may be far different from that which you visited years ago, having not only been expanded and upgraded, but transformed into a brighter, more welcoming place to live.

“Years ago we had single rooms

with a shared bathroom, but now all rooms have an ensuite,” Karen says.

“But there are also lots of loungerooms, the beautiful new gardens, and even a specific men’s room for when the men want to spend some time apart from the women. There’s even a men’s group that meets fortnightly, and men from across the district join in to keep friendships alive.

“There was a time when you’d have something like 30 women living here and three men, but now things are a little more 50/50 and that has changed the dynamic.”

And now we start getting down to what it is really like to live - and work - at Currawarna.

There is an endless list of activities and events that keep the residents occupied, from the monthly outings to playgroup visits, annual school concerts and even the upcoming Winter Ball.

“We have activities five days a week, and there are lots of events and happenings besides that,” Karen says.

“We also encourage residents to stay involved in the community as they were previous to moving up to Currawarna, whether that be through Rotary or Lions or bowls or whatever. We also have residents who are members of the local knitting group that meets once a week at the cafe.”

Far from the idea of being “locked away” in a home, Karen explains that residents are basically free to come and go as they please, with some still having their own cars, and others mobility scooters to give them more independence.

“We have a group that all piles into one resident’s car to go down and water their giant pumpkin for the Show,” she gives as an example.

“We also have to laugh when we think of the two residents who were out and about one day and got bogged in a ploughed paddock.

They had a mobile with them but neither of them had their glasses so they couldn’t see the buttons to use it to ring for help! Luckily a nearby farmer had spotted them straight away and towed them out.”

So there are still adventures to be had once you’ve moved into Currawarna it would seem.

“Sometimes it involves the staff too of course,” Karen laughs, recalling one funny incident.

“Two bus loads of residents went to Eden for the day, with staff driving. They had lunch and a walk along the beach, and then one staff member decided they needed fuel before heading back. Unfortunately they put unleaded instead of diesel in the bus, so they were stranded!

“We had to arrange another bus after the school run to go and get them. They all had a great adventure, and when we had to arrange to go back the next week to pick up the bus they all wanted to go! We laughed and talked about this for many weeks after.”

Throw in frequent visits from the Pastoral Carers and the HACC Group, and ongoing support from the tireless Ladies Auxiliary which helps support Currawarna and its residents, the scene is a largely positive one.

Of course there is a sombre side to aged care that cannot be ignored, and Karen acknowledges that when a resident passes away it is felt strongly right throughout the Currawarna community.

“You become their family,” she says simply.

“And sometimes it’s other things that are sad, like the residents who don’t get any visitors.

We’re lucky, then, that the Pastoral Carers are able to prioritise them when they come and visit.”

There are also the occasional personality clashes among residents, and the inevitable social intricacies of such a close knit community.

“There are a lot of interesting characters here at different times, and not all of them get along all of the time, but that’s just something you have to manage,” Karen says.

On the business side of things, Karen also has the very real stresses of cut backs in funding and dealing with “no notice” visits from the department, and is always working hard to ensure everything is up to date and every government cent is accounted for.

And Karen and the team must be doing it all very well, because even people from outside the immediate district have praise for Currawarna.

“You’ll often go to Cooma and people will comment on how great they hear Currawarna is, and that’s a good feeling,” Karen says.

“I’m really proud that we’ve passed our Accreditation every three years since it came in - it’s a big achievement from a really dedicated staff.

“Although there have been all of the big changes, and the facility is much nicer now, it has actually always been a pretty cheerful place to work. The staff have to be happy to create a happy place for the residents to live.

“Whenever I get any praise for the way things are run here, I always say that I couldn’t run it this way without our great staff and their support. It really is a fun and friendly place to work.”

And Karen encourages everyone to come and visit and see for themselves.

“You don’t have to be a potential client to come and visit,” Karen laughs - although the facility is registered for a total of 50 rooms should it need to expand to meet future demand.

“Anyone can come and see what we do, and we are always looking for volunteers. Lots of locals would be pleasantly surprised to see how things have changed, and there’s always the opportunity to spend a little time with a resident who doesn’t get many visitors.”

which Peter said he will retain for stud duties. “Ford’ also Conrayn won a total of six ribbons from six fleeces, as contested the supreme Merino exhibit class, but was well as Reserve Grand Champion Superfine Ram of the placed second to the grand champion ewe exhibited by Show.

Wurrook Stud.

Zoe Lynch was a guest speaker Zoe Lynch has a rich family history in farming and agriculture and was recently invited to give a speech at the Bendigo Sheep and Wool Show.

Zoe spoke about her background with wool and her views around the future challenges and opportunities for the industry, with particular emphasis on youth and education.

Earlier this year Zoe was given an opportunity to travel to China and Hong Kong with AWI as part of the Young Woolgrowers Pilot Tour. “This was my chance to peer through the looking glass and see firsthand how the future

of the wool industry looks. This was an opportunity to view the entire pipeline of wool production, from opening the wool bale right through to fashion design,� she said.

She had also previously been involved in the National Merino Challenge, a fantastic educational program/ competition hosted by AWI aimed at people studying high school or university.

The National Sheep and Wool Show was looking for an ambassador for youth in agriculture to give a presentation on their views of the industry and

their perspective on the future challenges and opportunities.

Zoe was recommended to speak through her involvement with AWI on the Young Woolgrowers Tour and her rich history in agriculture.

Zoe is the sixth generation of a local farming family. “Naturally, I’ve developed a huge passion for agriculture.

Our family have traditionally run a wool producing enterprise but unfortunately in 2000, the decision was made to disperse our flock due to the Johne’s outbreak in the area. Back in

1983, we had started our Angus stud, Kunuma Angus, so our sole focus was now on our cattle,� she said.

Zoe left Monaro High School in 2011 and started working on a local sheep property and said she absolutely loved it. “There was just so much to learn about sheep and wool and after six months working I convinced dad to go halves with me in a mob of fine wool ewes.

I enjoyed it so much that I decided to start my ag science degree by distance so I could continue working and broaden my horizons,�

she said. Over the next two years Zoe worked in numerous shearing teams across The Monaro and Yass regions and spent six months working in

New Zealand, before knuckling down to finish her degree internally at Charles Sturt University, Wagga.

She is now currently three months shy of

finishing a research degree in Agricultural Science and is unsure of the career path she will take upon completion of her degree.

Singapore is often dismissed as just a transfer destination. Changi Airport is lovely to transfer through, I do admit, however Singapore should not be dismissed as a destination in its own right. I had been informed by a few different people that it only takes 2-3 days to “do�

Singapore, however after 6 nights there I feel I have barely scratched the surface of what this wonderful city state has to offer.

Singapore is delightfully multicultural, its streets and neighborhoods teeming with a vibrant mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian and

expats from all around the world. This makes for a culturally rich city, with a food culture to rival anywhere in the world.

Singaporeans love their food, and their most popular dishes reflect the mix of cultures that make up the city. Besides the many restaurants and cafes, try eating at the Hawker centers. These are much cheaper then the restaurants and have some brilliant food. Look for the stalls with the longest lines! Here are a few iconic Singaporean dishes to name just a few. &KLOOL &UDE $ 6LQJD SRUHDQ LQVWLWXWLRQ. Whole crab cooked in a chilli sauce. .D\D 7RDVW- Toast with lots of butter and a jam made from coconut and eggs. Wonderfully sweet and often served with very soft boiled eggs.

3. Roti Prata- Indian

style flat breads. Often served with curry, though I did see one place selling it with Nutella! +DLQDQHVH &KLFNHQ 5LFH- This one is a favourite of mine! Chicken cooked in chicken broth, with rice cooked in the same broth.

Delicious! Best eaten from a Hawker center.

Aside from the wonderful food, Singapore has plenty to do!

Attractions targeted at tourists abound, as well as an array of cultural activities, and gardens everywhere! Singapore has a wonderful collection of gardens, parks and green spaces.

Don’t feed the birds NPWS warning The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is reminding Bombala residents not to feed native birds following reports that large flocks of hand-fed birds are causing a nuisance.

NPWS Bombala Area Manager, Franz Peters, said feeding wildlife, most often by well-meaning people, is not recommended for the welfare of the animals and can lead to them becoming a nuisance to neighbours.

“Most people feed birds and other native wildlife out of an understandable desire to want to care for them, however this can quickly lead to a build-up in numbers,” said Mr Peters.

“Recent reports of large flocks of magpies and currawongs gathering to be hand-fed is causing some concern as they can be fairly aggressive and territorial birds.

“Feeding native birds is not encouraged as it can lead to health problems or even death for the birds,

displace other native species, and create issues such as mess and noise for neighbours.

“A simple way people can enjoy native birds is to ‘bird-scape’ their backyard by planting local flowering native plants that provide balanced nutrition along with a sheltered bird bath safe from pets.

“People are reminded that under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 Service employees may give formal direction to individuals to stop feeding protected fauna.

“Australia’s native birds are renowned worldwide for their beauty, but it is critical to remember to keep wildlife wild and resist the urge to feed them,” Mr Peters added.

For more information about caring for your local environment, including wildlife, please call the NPWS Bombala office on (02) 6458 5900.

Large flocks of hand-fed birds are becoming a concern in the Bombala district, with the NPWS reminding residents not to feed native birds.

Search for Alzheimer’s answers Alzheimer’s disease already affects almost 250,000 Australians.

But researchers now fear that this could just be the tip of the iceberg, with brain scans revealing that almost one third of Australians aged over 60 have preclinical Alzheimer’s disease, putting them at a significantly greater risk of developing the deadly disease.

This research is a result of the Australian Imaging Biomarkers Lifestyle Study of Ageing (AIBL), the largest of its kind in the world, which aims to develop an early diagnosis technique for Alzheimer’s disease.

Professor Ralph Martins AO, who was instrumental in establishing the AIBL study 10 years ago, will examine the quest for an effective treatment for Alzheimer’s disease at a free public lecture at ECU Joondalup on 15 July 2016.

“Alzheimer’s disease is a massive, and growing, global health challenge.

To date all clinical trials of treatments have failed, which has been largely

attributed to the interventions being undertaken too late in the disease process when the brain is already severely damaged,” Professor Martins said.

“This is why the AIBL study was established, so we can try to identify a way to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease early in its progression when treatment can be more effective.”

The AIBL study has also allowed researchers to examine the role lifestyle factors play in the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

“We have been able to prove that both dietary patterns and exercise levels play an important role in modifying the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease,” Professor Martins said.

“By better understanding how these lifestyle factors influence the risk of Alzheimer’s disease we will hopefully be able to develop effective means of preventing or slowing the disease.”

Dip FMBM

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

ARE YOU SELF-EMPLOYED, OR A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER WANTING TO BUY A HOUSE OR COMMERCIAL PREMISES? FINDING IT HARD TO GET FINANCE? I often hear from people that they are struggling getting finance through their Bank as they are self-employed.

Or they want to buy their business premises, but the rates are so much higher. Come and talk to me.

I have years of experience in reading business financials and tax returns, and know how to present them to the Lender in an application. I also know which Lender’s policies will give you more chance of an approval, as they do have different assessment policies.

There are also some Lenders out there who are offering business loans on low residential rates, using either residential or commercial security. One Lender at the moment, has a variable rate of under 4.50% for business loans, with either residential or commercial security. To find out more, or to see if it would suit your needs, contact me for an obligation free appointment.

I also have built up some connections and referral partners, so that if I am unable to assist directly, I can refer you to someone who may be able to. If you are looking for equipment finance or leasing, I can arrange for someone to contact you to discuss options.

Being self-employed also means you need to look after other areas of your financial situation, to ensure you are on the right track. Damian Toms is a senior financial planner, who can offer advice on areas such as personal insurance, super, wealth creation, and retirement planning. I confidently refer my clients to him, and receive very positive feedback. I can arrange for him to call you or make an appointment to meet.

So, whatever your current situation is, I am more than happy to have a chat and see if I can improve your situation.

The home was constructed in 2008 out of Timbercrete Blocks.

You save energy for heating and cooling, it has excellent sound absorption and acoustic qualities it offer the highest possible fire resistance in Australia and is impervious to termites and rot. The windows have comfort glass installed so this combined with full insulation through the coldest days in winter or the most stifling summer days keep the home at a comfortable level.

Let’s talk about the layout. Bedrooms two & three are large approx. 12m2 in size, the kitchen has a Walk in Pantry, timber bench tops and a gas commercial oven, further

features include a formal dining room and large loungeroom with fireplace.

A lovely feature is the main bedroom it is huge over 19m2 in size and also has a large ensuite and a walk in wardrobe that would be the envy of every lady.

The exterior additions include a double garage and extra workshop space. The garage houses the solar power and an extra feature is the wind powered turbine. The current owners also supplement an income by growing all types of herbs and salad greens from the hydroponic greenhouse.

A covered veranda allows you to sit comfortably and overlook the iconic Snowy River as it borders the south boundary complete with pumping rights, or in winter the Snow Capped main range is also visible.

This is spectacular country. The scenery will blow your mind A lifestyle property in an ideal location only 5 minutes to Dalgety Township around 40 minutes to the NSW snow fields or approx.1 and a half hours to Canberra These types of properties do not meet the market very often so feel free to call today for a private viewing.

Rare commercial opportunity Small Acreage Popularity The desire to live around the fringes of town on a few acres is by far the most popular demand in the real estate market.

“There is an increase in the number of people coming to Cooma from Western Sydney and they want to be on acres,” says Don Menchin.

“I have two couples from Camden who are looking for hobby farms and there is

next to nothing available,” Don added.

“The property at 3 Banksia Lane, Cooma sold quickly to a family from Thornleigh and the property at 36 Scotts Rd, Cooma has sold to a Sydney party as well so the demand is there if the properties are available,” Don concluded.

NEWS

Wednesday July 20, 2016

Progress continues to protect the national flock against flystrike Australia’s wool industry research, development and marketing body, Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) has delivered the latest update on its number one R&D investment priority: protecting the nation’s sheep flock from flystrike.

From a wide spectrum of research projects and trials conducted on farms and in laboratories, significant and incremental progress is being reported. All presentations from today’s update will be available from July 22 on www.wool.com/ flystrikeRnDupdate Since 2005, more than $30 million has been invested by AWI on measures to combat flystrike as part of a greater longterm investment of more than $60 million in animal welfare measures.

Projects have now been funded across a suite of chemical, mechanical, genetic and novel approaches to flystrike prevention.

Breech wrinkle, dag, urine stain and breech wool cover have been found to be the key risk factors for flystrike. Industry for some years has had access to commercially available breeding values for these significant traits.

Breeding Values were released and are managed by Sheep Genetics.

However the role of skin bacteria and odour continues to

be investigated also. Research and development continues with research partners CSIRO, Department of Agriculture and Food WA and the University of WA to discover the yet undefined risk factors associated with these areas.

Various on farm trials using liquid nitrogen have been shown to reduce breech wrinkle, dags and breech wool cover but further work is being conducted

by Steinfort AgVet Pty Ltd to improve the equipment, consistency, throughput and commercialisation of the process.

The genome of the blowfly has now been mapped which offers the opportunity for a greater understanding of what attracts the gravid Lucilia cuprina female to sheep. Knowing the genes that allow the larvae to feed on the skin and underlying tissues, or the gravid female fly to find susceptible sheep on which to lay their eggs could also produce more targeted control measures in the longer term. These could potentially include vaccines to prevent the larvae feeding on the skin and underlying tissue or new control chemicals that kill the larvae or repel the female fly.

Trials to assess new pain relief products, increasing market place competition and the value in having both pre- and postoperative drug combinations are being conducted by the

CSIRO. There has been large scale adoption of post operative pain relief over the past five years and in a world first a longer acting pre-operative Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) MetacamTM has been registered for use in sheep with a competitor meloxicam product BuccalgesicTM due on the market in several months.

FlyBoss is a farmer-focused website with a large amount of information for woolgrowers on best practice flystrike control.

The FlyBoss program also conducts training for chemical retailers and workshops for agricultural consultants. It is run by the UNE and funded by AWI and MLA. While the APVMA has formally approved the registration of the intradermal SkinTraction, it has done so with very tight label restrictions.

The restrictions include sheep must have less than 8mm wool, have no shearing cuts, be of greater than 12 months of age and 30kg bodyweight, in condition score greater than 2.5. AWI has decided not to further fund Cobbett Technologies, the owners of the SkinTraction patents, but is undertaking further discussions with Cobbett Technologies to move towards the commercalisation of this technology.

Have ram team records?

Sheep CRC needs you!

Sheep breeders with comprehensive records of their ram teams are being sought by the Sheep CRC as it enters the final stages of development of the latest RamSelect app.

The next version of RamSelect will feature enhanced ram searching capabilities to align with estimates of the current genetic merit of a commercial ewe flock, either based on records of the rams used during the previous 10 years, or using data obtained through DNA profiling.

In using the historical ram-team data, RamSelect will calculate the ‘average’ of the Australian Sheep Breeding Values (ASBVs) accumulating in the flock over multiple generations, while a new DNA Flock Profiling test will calculate an average set of ASBVs for 20 of the youngest ewes sampled at random.

“It is important that both the ram-team and DNA Flock Profiling approaches give similar results and the CRC needs help from sheep producers to calibrate data from the two methods,” chief executive of the Cooperative Research Centre for Sheep Industry Innovation (Sheep CRC), James Rowe, said.

“We are looking for any producers who have accurate records of the rams that they have used over the last 5-10 years, including their Sheep Genetics unique ID together with details of the years that each ram was used.”

In return for producer’s ram team data, the Sheep CRC staff will analyse the information and provide them with estimated average flock ASBVs. “From among those who submit ram team data we will select a group of 30 producers, representing a diverse range of bloodlines and

breed types, who will also receive free follow up DNA profile testing,” Prof. Rowe said.

“For those producers selected for DNA Flock Profiling the CRC will send out blood cards for sampling 20 young ewes and will also contribute $500 to the cost of collecting the samples.”

Prof. Rowe said determining flock average ASBVs would be a very valuable tool for sheep producers when using RamSelect.com.au to identify rams which will help progression towards their breeding objective.

“By better understanding the current genetic merit of their flock, producers will be better able to buy rams which help them attain their specific breeding objectives, as well as determine the impact that different rams will have on future production characteristics of the flock,” he said.

Developed by the Sheep CRC in conjunction with Telstra and NSW DPI, the popular web-based app RamSelect.com.au streamlines the use of ASBVs so that producers can quickly and easily identify the right genetics for their flock using objective data from Sheep Genetics’ MERINOSELECT, LAMBPLAN and DOHNE databases.

The upgraded RamSelect.com. au will be launched at LambEx in August, with new features including benchmarking tools that allow breeders to compare their ram selections to the national averages and track the impact of ram teams on their flock.

Commercial producers and ram breeders with the appropriate data on the rams that they have used in recent years, and who are interested in participating, are asked to email their data as an Excel file to Tom Granleese at tgranle2@une.edu.au.

2016 weed control in winter crops guide available The 2016 Weed Control in Winter Crops Guide is now available from the Cooma and Bombala offices of South East Local Land Services. The publication, produced

by NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI), is free and a very useful up-to-date information source for farmers to determine appropriate herbicide choice for various weed issues occurring in winter crops.

Good weed control management in winter crops is a vital part of successful and profitable crop production. Yield losses caused by weeds can vary enormously from being almost negligible to a complete loss.

Weeds lower crop yields by competing for soil moisture, nutrients, space and light and can carry diseases which attack crops. This competition reduces grain yield and quality, and can impede harvesting.

Some weeds can restrict cropping options as herbicides for control are sometimes limited. Thoroughly investigate which weed species are likely to germinate in a paddock before sowing crops with limited herbicide control options.

Weed control is a numbers game.

Growers should aim to reduce numbers and keep them low with an ongoing program. An integrated weed management system combining all the available methods is the key to successful control of weeds.

Schute Bell wool report

A larger than expected national offering (no doubt due to the four week rally in wool prices) and the Aussie dollar climbing against the US placed downward pressure on this week’s sales. The largest falls were in the mid micron Merino Fleece types with this area of the market being the greatest beneficiary of price rises over the past month. Some of the more stylish superfine types managed small gains, 37,556 bales were sold for the week nationally with 8.3% passed in. Major buyers included Techwool, PJ Morris and Chinatex with the top four accounting for almost 50% of

the Merino Fleece offering. Forward markets were fairly strong early in the week on limited volume but the extent of this strength rapidly declines after mid September. 21 microns did trade to 1400 cents in early September which is around a 5% discount to this week’s physical close. Wool sales are now in a three week recess with sales due to recommence the week of the 8th of August. Rostered quantities have not been released as yet for the resumption but it would be reasonable to expect a 50,000 bale offering.

PRELIMINARY NOTICE

Tourism and agriculture sow seeds to support Regional Australia The Australian Regional Tourism Network (ARTN) and the National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to develop agri-tourism products and experiences to encourage greater visitor dispersal in rural and regional destinations.

The MOU was signed in Canberra, formalising a partnership between the two organisations on behalf of their diverse industry members and partners. “This MOU is about bringing the farming sector and the tourism plate together, providing the platform to develop an agri-tourism sector for growing domestic and international demand,� said ARTN Chair David Sheldon. “We have formally agreed to work collaboratively on projects that benefit economic and social development in rural and regional Australia – creating jobs and better economic outcomes for the regions. “The MOU will be a boost to regional areas. We have already shown how our two organisations working together on topics of mutual interest can have an impact, such as the much troubled backpacker tax,� he said. “Agriculture and tourism are growth industries of the Australian economy. By working

together, we can harness the enormous opportunities ahead of us in an even more meaningful way,� said NFF CEO Tony Mahar. “Tourism and farming are large employers across all of Australia, and provide a foundation for the social fabric for communities. “With both agribusiness and tourism recognised as vital economic drivers for our future

economy, we need to stand united to advocate for strategies that support regional dispersal and enabling infrastructure that will allow our regional and rural tourism sectors to maximise their potential,� said Mr Mahar.

Learning land management from traditional custodians Farmers from around the region will be experimenting with regenerative land management techniques after attending a workshop on cool fire burning or mosaic burning last month.

The workshop was held at Dr Charlie Massy’s property Severn Park in Bobundara with more than 50 people attending despite it not being advertised.

Cool fire burning is a process that was used by the Indigenous people of Australia for tens of thousands of years before white settlement and it is hoped that a return to the process will lead to a regeneration of native vegetation from dieback and loss of biodiversity.

Over the last few years Dr Mason has been working with the Ngarigo Elder Rod Mason who has been burning for over 50 years.

Rod grew up in the Pitjantjatjara region where he was burning all the time and is also a trained ecologist having been employed with the National Parks.

It is Rod’s belief that the dieback that is being experienced is due to the loss of the burning process, using the particular example of the dieback of the Ribbongum trees.

Dr Massy said the countryside has lost biodiversity leaving a simplified landscape function.

He believes that cool fire burning can help this situation by stimulating existing seeds and species by killing exotic seeds and encouraging native ones to grow.

The scientific approach to cool fire burning is backed up the research from the CSIRO after the 2003 bushfires which found that fire stimulates growth, with four times more growth coming in Autumn.

Around 70 percent of Australian vegetation is adapted to fire and the heat and smoke works to stimulate regrowth .

The concept of regrowth through burning is also backed up by 50,000 years of Aboriginal knowledge and practice.

It is hoped that the use of traditional Indigenous land management techniques will not only stimulate regrowth but help to bridge the gap between Aboriginal and western cultures. “I firmly believe we western land holders, who have essentially stolen the land, won’t truly belong until we become reconciled with the traditional land holders. “I believe a real reconciliation is needed for indigenous pseople. If we can work with them on regenerating country that’s the pathway of each of us reconciling with the other and with our landscapes,â€? Dr Massy said. “The more people that get to know the knowledge of 50 thousand years‌ Burning, landscape, animals and the stories and the Dreaming is a special relationship that can’t be ignored.â€?

Representatives from Greening Australia and the Upper Snowy Landcare Committee also attended the day where two plots were set up.

It is too early to see results at this stage but Dr Massy believes the recent rain will help with germination and the results will be assessed in a year.

Market Comment: Leading into the three week break the NRI faltered, easing 8 cents for the week to close at 1333. Weighing down on prices was the continuing strength in the Australian dollar which pushed through 76 US cents.

The beginning of the new financial year and the strong market in recent weeks resulted in a larger than forecast offering, with 41,000 bales put before the trade.

Merino Fleece indicators were as much as 25 cents lower, with the finer types least affected. The market did however show some encouraging signs on the final day c/kg cln

21 Mic AU

when a firming tendency was noted towards the close.

Merino Skirtings bucked the trend, holding firm, while the Crossbred market recorded mixed results, with the finer types surging 30 cents or more, while the broader categories continued to trend lower.

Merino Cardings also closed slightly lower at all three centres.

Wool sales are now in recess and will resume week beginning Monday the 8th of August.

Glossy black cockatoo habitat restoration project receives funding boost A project designed to bring back the threatened Glossy BlackCockatoo has received $96,730 in funding through the NSW Government Environmental Restoration and Rehabilitation fund.

The Member for Monaro John Barilaro said the Glossy Black Cockatoo is the smallest of Australia’s five black cockatoo and is listed as vulnerable in NSW and the ACT. “Over the past three years, Greening Australia has been committed to planting over 15,000 trees in an effort to restore the natural habitat of the Glass Black Cockatoo across the NSW Southern Tablelands and the ACT,� said Mr Barilaro. “The funding grant will continue that program and see 5,000 trees planted on 15 properties, there will be community seed collection and planting events and bird identification workshops. “Restoration and Rehabilitation grant program encourages and enables community and government organisations to protect important ecosystems and habitats, including those of rare and endangered species, and prevent or minimise future environmental damage.�

Fifty six NSW community groups and government

organisations will share $5.2 million in funding to undertake projects that protect, restore and improve the environment. “Communities have invaluable knowledge and passion for their local bushland, wildlife, heritage and ecological sustainability,� Mr Barilaro said. “These grants acknowledge

Lisa Ashurst Mental images are funny things sometimes. They can be triggered by just about anything really, like a sound or a piece of music or a fragrance. Sometimes just by something someone says and your brain flashes you with a brief image that is somehow related. No big deal or anything.

Unless it’s something someone says and the mental flash image it triggers is really gross and after that, having seen it flash by, you can’t un-see it. Like with Mandarin Juice. I actually love the stuff but it could be a little while before I buy it again because The Bloke had a smarty pants moment the other morning when I mentioned Mandarin Juice as a possible for the drinks list for Daughter’s baby shower later this month. “Well just so long as you spare a moment for all those poor Chinese people.� It took me only a moment of confusion before the penny dropped. And then I had a totally unwelcome flash image of a line of Chinese people and a big juicer and I would have thrown my muesli at him except I had already eaten it. Like, it wasn’t even an electric juicer, it was one of those oldfashioned hand ones, which makes the whole thing even worse! Maybe it was a little too early in the morning for me, or something.

But anyway, now I’m completely grossed out! And I apologise to any Chinese members of our community out there reading this because

I swear on a giant box of cherry liqueur chocolates (my favourite) that I have never, ever thought of juicing any of you! But if this fails to stem any feelings of animosity, please feel free to direct them at The Bloke because HE started it!

Look, I’m sure it has nothing to do with how my mind works because blood, guts and giant juicers don’t usually figure, you know? Not a single mental flash has EVER featured any of the above. However, now that that particular comment from Mr Smart-Mouth has triggered it, I can’t seem to un-see it! I hate not being able to un-see it!!!

I actually walked on past the juice in the supermarket later that morning because I couldn’t bring myself to pick it up and pop it in my basket as it kind of has “connotations� now, if you know what I mean. I hate connotations!!!

I’m going to assume though that it will pass. That in time, I will be able to swing around to the drink section and grab a couple of bottles of Mandarin Juice with no thought of gross images and be able to enjoy it just as much as before. Hopefully, that will happen in plenty of time for Daughter’s baby shower because it really would be a nice inclusion on the drinks list plus, I like to have a glass in the mornings and often in the evenings as well. It really is a nice juice! But if any of you have now also been grossed out about it after reading this‌ well you all know who to blame, okay?

Because HE started it!

Snowy Mountains Grammar School continues to assert itself as Australia’s premier school for snowsports Competitors were presented with wild conditions in the 2016 Scots Race and Redlands Cup at Perisher over the last week. True to SMGS form, the school’s student-athletes showed pure grit and bravery on the mountain as they were lashed by everything that mother nature could throw at them.

Head of Snowsports, Tim Bland, spoke very highly of the athletes’ ability to manage the adverse weather conditions by working as a team, and said, “It is always pleasing to see the friendship and camaraderie that develops amongst the students. This is particularly evident at the top of the course, when the nerves start to appear.

We’d like to thank the students for their efforts in encouraging and assisting each other out there.”

Year 12 student, Alex Dickson, who took out 1st place in Division 1 Male in the Scots Race, backed up his performance with another 1st place finish at the Redlands Cup and was awarded the Redlands Cup Fastest Snowboard Boy. Alex was clearly happy with his effort, saying, “I was super happy to take out the Redlands Cup in my last year at SMGS. It’s been a goal of mine ever since I started racing and it feels good to finally pull it off.”

In the girls’ competition, Georgia Crisp finished 2nd. Georgia was similarly pleased with her efforts, saying, “Redlands Cup was a fun day of racing for everyone. The course was tough but we all tried our best and came out with a great result.”

In addition to their performance, Tim commended Alex and Georgia on their leadership on and off the mountain. He said, “Both Alex and Georgia consistently take the lead within our snowsports team. They are always there with a supportive word for other students and it is unsurprising that the whole of the SMGS snowsports team looks up to them.

“Their results are a significant achievement for these students and

demonstrate the incredible effort they have gone to, not just this season but over the past few years. Both Alex and Georgia are at the top of their game and it is pleasing to see them rewarded for their success.”

Tim was very proud of SMGS’ podium results and said, “Snowsports has long been an integral part of who we are at SMGS. Every year, we see students grow in their abilities on snow as well as who they are as individuals.”

With a string of impressive results and the NSW Interschools Championships just around the corner, it looks like Snowy Mountains Grammar School are on track for another big snowsports season.

SMGS is back in action at the ACT/Southern NSW Interschools, 27-29 July.

A fun new activity for groups - families, friends or individuals who would like to meet people Each Saturday for 50 weeks, participants will attempt to find a treasure, which will be hidden at an unknown location. The hunt will be a fun and exciting way to see the Capital and its region, in a way we’ve never seen it before.

Participants will be given a riddle and a map (Pre-order online), and they will have to use their problem solving and research skills to find the treasure. Adults, teens and kids alike will have fun whilst learning about the many sites of interest and historical value of this unique region.

“I am proud to say I have lived in Canberra my whole life and

have grown up immersed in the wonderful environment that it offers. As your host it is my hope that a love for Canberra will be engendered in all who attend. “, said Jordan Morton the passionate and innovative master mind behind the new Canberra Project – Treasure in Capital.

He’s inviting the community to play a fun and exciting new weekend game with him every weekend. Jordan says, “It’s something my family used to do and all my school friends at parties, my friends used to love it when we were in high school. It’s great for all ages actually, Mums and Dads,

kids, grandparents or a bunch of teenagers with the freedom to move around. I hope it shows Canberrans what a great place we live in; Canberra and the region are amazing. We have it all here, history, science and nature; all manner of things – theatre, dance and so on”, said Jordan.

To find it, people will have to purchase, read and solve a riddle.

Jordan invites you every Friday night for the next 12 months to pick up a treasure hunt riddle from a designated venue ready for the hunt on Saturday. To secure a spot order on line. www.canberrahunt. com every Friday he will be at a

different host venues to pick up your riddles, each Saturday the hunt begins.

There will be treasure to win from local businesses, Jordan says “The treasure will be hiding just in sight in a genuine leather envelope, it’s the real deal people, I invite you to come out on Saturdays and get amongst it! It will be fun!”

Along with a riddle participants will need to purchase a start-up kit ($15.00) which includes a map, an envelope, a rules page and a character card. Each following week they would need to get only another riddle for $20.00.

This game is to give the public a

pleasure to discover Canberra and its surrounding regions as there are so many new and old things around that everyone should really take the time to enjoy.

I hope that everyone can come and celebrate this great city, region and country we all live in.

Bombala Heelers win three from three at home On Sunday July 17 the sun was shining for the last home game for the Bombala District Blue Heelers for the 2016 season. And what a great successful day it was, with all three grades taking the win against the Narooma club.

High Heelers The High Heelers were expecting a tough hit out against the only team they have lost to all year.

With a close first half the High Heelers were forced to stay patient in attack and relied heavily on their ability to defend their own line. Try saving tags from Georgie Clarke, Rosie Walcott and Kayley Keavey in particular helped to keep the Narooma She-devils from scoring points in the first half. Eventually a break away try to captain Patrice Clear saw the Heelers take the lead 6-0 by half time.

With a tricky short kick-off, regathered by Abbey Kimber the Heelers looked back on target after half time. However be Narooma pounced on a dropped ball from the Heelers to stride away and score under the black dot. With the scores locked up at 6-6, the Heelers seemed determined to finally stamp their mark on this game. Narooma kept testing the skills of the Heelers under the high ball but the safe and reliable hands of Janine Jamieson and Keiarna Rodwell did not falter.

Again it was their fierce leader Patrice Clear who found space off a well-executed ball from Emma Sullivan; Clear scored again under the post. Finding their rhythm the Heelers confidence began to build, strong runs from Chloe Murphy and Kristy Nichols saw the Heelers gain good field possession. Monique Ingram taking the blind side option found the lightning legs of Tash Stewart, Stewart would link up with a supporting Keirarna Rodwell out wide. Rodwell still had work to do, beating multiple defenders and

eventually placed a perfect ball back inside to Stewart who continued on in support and eventually scored for the Heelers. Annie McGrath continued to show great skill in her kicking ability and again converted for the home team, the score now 18-6. Determined to finish strongly, the Heelers continued to put pressure on the She-devils line and when the ball went to ground

by Narooma, it was Abbey Kimber who quickly regathered and dived over the line to score another 4 points and cement the Heelers win convincingly at 24-6. Players Player and 3 points went to Patrice Clear (sponsored by Clear Cut Electrical & Rural Services), 2 points went to Keiarna Rodwell (sponsored by Rodwell Haulage & Plant Hire) and 1 point went to Janine Jamieson (sponsored by Jamieson Bros Sawmill).

Reserve Grade Just five minutes in, the away side would find the try line, indicating this was not going to be an easy game for Bombala. However they did not drop their heads and instead it was Nic Rosten who hit back for the home team just four minutes later.

Further tries to Jackson Standen and James Coates took the score to 16-6 in favour of the home team 30 minutes in. Strong dominating runs by Ben Mooney, Raymond Kading and James Coates gave the Heelers the go forward they needed and the direction from Pat Gaudie and Mick Sullivan in at the halves gave great structure. Eventually Nic Rosten again dived over for the home team and Kurt Lomas added his own 4 pointer as he found space just before the bell. At half time the Heelers had a comfortable lead at 26-12.

Only minutes into the second half Ben Mooney hit the ball up close to the line where he muscled his way over to score for the home

Above: First Grade - Joey Bobbin Below: First Grade - Murry Jackson

team. The next 10 minutes however saw the Narooma side slot in two 6 pointers taking the score to 1830 with still 25 minutes of football left to play. Strong defensive efforts from Paul Gimbert, Nat Jennings and Sam Sten were pertinent to keep the away team from steaming home. Joel Cherry had a great work rate carting the ball up for the Heelers, as did Korie Elton. The next points eventually went to the home team’s Pat Goudie taking the score to 36-18 in the 59th minute.

The last 20 minutes of football were left scoreless as each team worked hard in defence. Bombala Reserve grade welcomed the final bell with a great win cementing their place in the top four on the leader board, making things look promising for a spot in the finals. Players Player and 3 points went to Ben Mooney (sponsored by Delegate Hotel), 2 points went to James Coates (sponsored by Southern Stockyards and Fencing) and 1 point went to Jackson Standen (sponsored by D & L Earthworks).

First Grade The Blue Heelers first grade team welcomed the return of captain coach Joe Bobbin back from injury on Sunday as he proceeded to play a strong game always leading by example with strong tacklebusting runs and solid defence.

With a promising start the Blue Heelers capitalised on back to back sets on their line and the infamous combination of Paul Perkins and Brett Hodak again saw Hodak score in close to the posts. At 6-0 just 2 minutes in the crowd knew they were in for another great game of football. Narooma hit back strongly with a well-executed kickoff finding touch, Bombala were now forced to bare the brunt of Narooma’s attack for the first time. The away team found space out wide and the score was soon 4-6. Ten minutes later

Above: High Heelers - Monique Ingram Below: High Heelers - Kristy Ncholls

from about the half way line Tyler Jones would find space between defenders and streak away, unable to be matched in pace, to score under the posts. This try was soon followed up by yet another Brett Hodak try where his barn storming run flattened defenders leaving a trail of destruction and an open try line. With the scores 16-4 Bombala looked favourites. Fantastic defence from Malcolm Stone and Wame Belolevu could be almost felt by the crowd. Paul Perkins kicking game kept the Narooma players tested and gained great field possession for the home team. However just before half time Narooma spread the ball wide quickly and dived over in the corner to take the score to 16-8 at half time in favour of the Bombala boys.

After half time it took just one minute for Paul Perkins to take a dash from dummy half, managing to muscle his way over for a 4 pointer. With Wame’s conversion the score was taken to 22-8. However Narooma were not about to lay down and when a long ball was intercepted by their number 2 Rod Ceasar, no one could catch him as he ran 80m to score. At 14-22 with still 30 minutes of footy left, this game was still up for the taking. The next 10 minutes would see Bombala receive good field possession off back to back penalties from Narooma.

The ball was eventually thrown wide where Mitch Lynch finished off the play scoring in the corner taking the score to 26-14. Bailey Jones proved solid and safe in at fullback returning the ball with great skill. However Narooma’s halfback eventually found space between defenders and the score was a close 26-20. As the crowd began to get nervous, Narooma again capitalised on Bombala‘s errors and spread the ball wide quickly to score

yet again taking the score to a nail biting 26-24 still in the home team’s favour, with 10 minutes of play to go.

Bombala were determined to change the momentum of the game which seemed to have swayed to Narooma and five minutes later it was again the experience of Paul Perkins and Brett Hodak whose combination saw Hodak score his hat trick for the day taking the score to 32-24 to Bombala.

The last five minutes saw great passion coming from the home team with fierce defence particularly from Joe Bobbin and great talk, the home team would take the much deserved win. Players Player went to Brett Hodak (sponsored by Southern Stockyards & Fencing), 3 points went to Paul Perkins (sponsored by MCH Welding), 2 points went to Murray Jackson (sponsored by Bobbin Rustic Creations) and 1 point was shared between Malcolm Stone (sponsored

by Gimbert’s Mobile Butchery) and Craig Bottom (sponsored by Cooma Cranes).

The Bombala & District RLFC would like to recognise all of the support, help and cheering from their hometown at all of their home games this year.

Bombala has proved not only has it got great facilities to host the football but a great community always willing to help out. We encourage everyone to make the trip down to Cobargo this weekend on Sunday 24th July where all three grades will play against the Eden and Cobargo teams in the last round game before finals footy. swAgain a big thank you to the Bombala RSL club for their sponsorship this year and great hospitality after the games.

Blue Heelers Junior Rugby League at Origin match

On Wednesday, July 13 a very excited group of Under 14s accompanied by coaches, Sam and Kieran, and dads, Mal Hurley and David Bruce set off for Sydney and the third State of Origin match.

It was as if everything was against us, with snow and ice greeting us at Native Dog, then strong winds almost blowing us off the road, making it a bit of a hair raising trip.

We finally made it to Cabramatta Leagues Club for lunch, where we were fortunate enough to have been given a fully signed and framed Canterbury Bulldogs grand final jersey. This will be auctioned off at the Blue Heelers Junior Auction Night.

Then it was back on the bus headed for Sydney central and the Sydney YHA. After an hour spent looking for parking, we jumped on a train and were on our way to ANZ Stadium.

On arrival we stumbled upon the Channel 9 News crew who invited us to hang around and make an appearance on the news. Sure enough the boys were ecstatic to be front and centre on the TV screens back home!

We found our seats and enjoyed the pre match entertainment. Then onto the main game. The boys all purchased NSW beanies, scarves, flags and posters to show their patronage.

We were very close to the

action just behind the north goal post where we saw the Michael Jennings try and watched Aaron Woods’ post try celebration - epic fail!

The highlight came at the end of the match when the boys raced down to the fence for the NSW victory lap.

They got to high five and have photos with many of the players including captain Paul Gallen!

The next day saw a slow and steady trip home! Thanks to all involved for making the event a successful one.

(PS: I think the team bonding session worked wonders for the boys’ on field performance at Bega! - Sam)

The Bombala Blue Heelers Under 14s were presented with a signed Canterbury Bulldogs Grand Final jersey during their trip to Sydney for the State of Origin.

Junior footballers compete at Bega carnival The Group 16 Bega Carnival was held on July 16, and the Bombala and District Blue Heelers Junior Rugby League Football Club entered all six teams.

It was a great day; weather was perfect and lots of teams entered, with kids in footy jerseys everywhere!

The Mini teams played three games each, and had a great time.

The Under 12s and League Tag Girls played on the same field throughout the day.

The U12s got knocked out early, but our Girls made it to the semi finals and held out Merimbula.

They won on the first penalty, and made it into the Finals, just losing out to Narooma. Great effort, Girls!

The Under 14s were all ready to play but had

Batemans Bay forfeit, so they played a game against Merimbula, and then Moruya, and Merimbula again. The boys played well.

Thank you to all parents that took the kids down there, it is a long day but great fun.

This weekend will see Bombala travel to Moruya.

Go Blue Heelers!

Snowy Monaro Regional Council Administrator, Dean Lynch with the Bombala District Swimming Club’s Donna Shelley and MP John Barilaro, who announced a $591 Local Sport Grant for new training equipment for the local swim club.

The Member for Monaro, John Barilaro visited Bombala and District Swimming Club members on Monday to announce funding as part of the 2015/16 Local Sport Grant Program.

A grant of $591 has been provided to purchase new training equipment.

Mr Barilaro said the main aim of this program is to increase regular and ongoing participation

opportunities in sport and active recreation in NSW. “Sport is a huge part of our way of life and the NSW Government recognises that,” said Mr Barilaro.

“The NSW Government is committed to delivering the best infrastructure, facilities and equipment to the people of NSW and I look forward to seeing the benefits of this upgrade for the community.

The cold windy weather last Wednesday did not attract enough players to hold the July round of the Bill Elder Shield which was delayed for a further week.

In a semi final of the handicap pairs played last Wednesday, Max Butler and Colin Roberson received two shots start from Mario Frezza and Geoff Venables but found themselves trailing 4/10 after the first seven ends.

Slight improvement by Max and Colin got them to 11/15 and held Mario and Geoff on 15 for six ends to go on to lead 18/17 with two ends to play. Mario and Geoff scored four shots on end 20 leaving Max and Colin needing three shots to force and extra end. Unfortunately they were only able to get two shots which put Mario and Geoff into the final 21/20.

The remaining semi-final of the handicap pairs was played last Saturday with Richard Nichols (subbing for Steve Lapham) and Mark Buckley giving 7½ shots start to Rowen Venables and Darren Collins. Richard and Mark made up the handicap over the first four ends and then won six unanswered ends to lead 27/8. Although Rowen and Darren played their best bowls over the concluding stages Richard and Mark were able to counter just about every thing thrown at them and went on to win convincingly.

In Sunday’s final, Steve Lapham returned to team up with Mark Buckley to play Mario Frezza and Geoff Venables. Mario and Geoff held a slight 5/3 lead by end five when the wheels fell off for Steve and Mark. Mario and Geoff won six ends straight and increased their lead to 16/3 by end 11. By winning five of the next eight ends Mario

and Geoff were 14 shots in front with two ends to play and the handicap pairs for this year was theirs.

Congratulations Mario and Geoff.

Just two rinks of social bowls on Saturday. Judy Locker, Bob Douglass and Renate Winckel against Ken Rees, Mary Phillips and Maureen D’Amico. At 5/5 on five it was shaping as a close encounter, however Judy, Bob and Renate scored four on six and were never headed and went on to win 10 ends to five in the run home. When a team scores three fours and a three they would expect to be winners as was the case with Allan Crowe, Sergio Roncelli and Margherita Zasso against Max Butler, Daphne Buckley and Mary Obermaier. Unfortunately their only other scoring end was one shot on 16.

Max, Daphne and Mary won the match 26/16.

Despite the glorious weather on Sunday only 10 players turned up for social bowls. Jack Sajina and John Vincent had an early battle with Ken Rees and Bob Douglass to be 6/6 on end eight. Thirteen ends later they were in front 20/10. They scored only once more over the last four ends but had enough in the tank to win 22/15. Max Butler, Darren Collins and Peter Marsicano won the first two ends against Maureen D’Amico, Renate Winckel and Giulio D’Amico then promptly dropped six shots on end three and they also scored six shots on end eight and levelled the scores 11/11 on 10. From that point Maureen, Renate and Guilio had the best of it and helped by five shots on end 11 went on to win 23/16.

An important date for the men to remember is the Annual General Meeting of the Mens Bowling Club on Sunday July 31. That is the place to have your say concerning the Club’s future. Keep it in mind.

Under 18s The Cooma Under 18’s travelled to Bega on Sunday and played a red hot Bega side.

Without much ball during the first half the boys found themselves down 26 to 4.

The boys were able to hold Bega out several times on our try line which showed some good defensive work on behalf of the boys. When the boys did get the ball they made several good metres through Troy Freebody and James Cahill.

Troy Freebody was able to score out wide finally putting points on the board for the Stallions.

In the second half the boys didn’t get off to a good start with Bega scoring two soft tries, however the boys didn’t stop trying all day with big efforts by Dan Swain, Bill Zammit, Liam Rankin and Rhayne Simpson.

To the boys credit we saw a great second half try by Jamie Rogers, unfortunately Bega were too strong on the day.

Points went to: James Cahill 3, Bill Zammit 2 and Dan Swain 1. Players player went to Jake Hedger and the Main Street Voucher went to Troy Freebody and James Cahill.

Reserve Grade The Stallions Reserve Grade travelled to Bega on Sunday to do battle with the top of the ladder Roosters side.

This was a game that the Stallions had to win to remain in the hunt for a semifinal spot.

What seemed like a strong side on paper on Friday was severely depleted with late

withdrawals making it necessary for three under 18 players to step up and help out.

An early injury to Jesse Jackson took away a lot of The Stallions central defence.

The Bega side found too much space out wide and raced away to a 24 nil lead at halftime.

Whilst the Stallions never gave up a few more injuries had the side with no replacements with 20 minutes to go.

This eventually had its toll and Bega added another 16 points to see them runout winners 40 points to nil.

This score line does not do justice the Cooma side, as they competed right until fulltime.

Players player went to Mil Issa and Luke Bracher who both had tremendous matches.

First Grade The Cooma Stallions First Grade side travelled to Bega over the weekend going down in a disappointing 34-14 loss to the Roosters.

The game was dominated by the forwards and Bega got away to an early lead after and the Stallions got off to a slow start.

The first 20 minutes of the match was ground out in fast paced open end to end football but the Bega forwards dominated and were allowed to offload and set up second man plays.

“They dominated in the middle by the time we got on top of them in the ruck it was too late and we were already on our heels,” coach Todd Williams said.

Bega made their way to a 16-0 lead

before the Stallions fought back to take the score to 16-6 at halftime.

The Roosters exposed a Stallions edge in the second half and targeted it as the Cooma team fell away from their shape and game plan.

Williams said there was some positive to come out of the match, mainly the performance of the returning Austen Reilly and Dave Summerville who stepped up for first grade.

Bega are currently sitting second on the competition ladder meaning the Stallions have a good insight in to what they can expect in the finals.

The Stallions will meet first placed Moruya at the Cooma Showground this weekend in what is expected to be a blockbuster.

“It shows us what we’re up against.

We’re playing people that we will meet in the final, not playing easy beats,” Williams said.

The team will be focusing on playing 80 minutes of football this weekend, sticking to their structure and playing for field possession rather than trying to score off every play.

“We need to get back to what we’ve been doing. We’ve got points in us and our defence is good,” Williams said.

This weekend is potentially the last home game of the season so the club is hoping for a big turnout from the community.

The Fillies kick off at 10.30am followed by the U/18s, Reserve Grade and First Grade.

Little Heelers in Canberra Cooma’s convincing 14-0 win

UNDER 8 Canberra Game Monday July 11 saw our Under 8 Blue Heelers team head to Canberra GIO stadium to play against Leeton prior to the Raiders V Cowboys game.

On what was a very chilly night, our guys and gals ran out onto the field full of nerves and excitement having never played on a field of that size or in front of a crowd that big.

From the first whistle Leeton came out strong testing Bombala’s defence from the start but this didn’t stop Freddy Merritt or Max Power defending our line backed up by some girl power from Ruby Smith and Zara Brotherton.

Leeton managed to score a few quick tries with their big players crashing over the line.

Leeton’s few tries stirred our troops into action, leading to some strong

runs from Josh Tellis , Gracie Brownlie and Tanner Hurley, who with their fancy foot work gained some good metres.

The field being narrower than they are used to made it challenging for our quick guys and gals to run around the opposition, but a storming run up the middle by Ari Sten saw him bust over the line to score a well deserved try.

They may not have won on the night but everyone came away a winner from the experience of playing at such an awesome stadium! Unfortunately, super Coach Rolly Skellern was unable to attend but thanks to Ben Brotherton and Damien Smith for stepping up and doing the job.

After their game the team and families stayed on to cheer on the Raiders and Cowboys.

over the Goulburn Strikers On Sunday the Cooma Lady Tigers team travelled to Canberra for the final time until finals to play the Goulburn Strikers.

With the Strikers only having 7 players Cooma were determined to play their own game.

Cooma maintained all the possession during the game and in the first half Cooma tallied up 5 goals thanks to Raen Brademanne, Emily Perkin and a hat trick to Libby Goggin, one of which was a beautiful header from Tamara Lloyd’s corner kick!

The second half was much the same, the dominance in the first half allowed coach Serdan Bircan to switch up the game and give everyone a go at new positions.

It only took three minutes into the second half for Cooma to score when Emily got her foot to the ball from a corner.

Next to score was Candice Geach who finished off a great run and cross from Raen Brademanne.

After a few missed shots Raen got her second goal for the game when she took a shot outside the 18yard box at the 50th minute taking Cooma to 8-0.

Next up was Alicia Rampal with a great assist from Kerry Baines followed by a double from Camilla McDonald to make it 11-0.

With 12 minutes remaining on the clock it was time for Tamara Lloyd to get in on the action. She found herself with space to move in the midfield and with no hesitation she cracked it from nearly halfway to make it 12-0.

Rachel Dorward gained control of the ball from

the Strikers’ kick off and made a run down the line to put in a beautiful cross to the waiting feet of Libby to make it 13-0.

Finally it was a deserving Libby to score the final goal and wrap the game up at 14-0 and give her her fifth goal for the day.

The ladies are now going to get to play their last five games of the round at home at Nijong Oval.

Sunday July 24 will see them take on sixth placed Majura at 10am.

Their first encounter was very close with the ladies coming away with a 2- 1 win. The ladies would love the support of their home crowd as they continue their run to the finals.

Cooma FC travelled to Calwell playing fields to take on rivals Brindabella FC in what was meant to be a blockbuster.

The state of the fields played their part. Cooma needed a win to keep the pressure on for top spot and started the better of the two.

Strong first half defensive displays from Roman Bogatek, Serdan Bircan and Dominic Bogatek kept Cooma in the game and before long Zac Schoon found a one on one situation and finished nicely to give Cooma the lead going into half time.

Cooma had lost focus at half time and took a little bit of time to settle into the second half. Cooma had most of the procession but that was not enough to stop Brindabella from equalising.

Cooma were getting frustrated with many near

misses and finally a great corner from Matt Bruce landed straight on Serdan Bircan’s head to give Cooma a well-deserved lead.

It wasn’t enough though as a massive slip up in defence gave Brindabella the easiest finish of the season. Full time 2-2 Coach Daniel Walker said “It was a really tough game due to the pitch more than anything but also frustrating to see Cooma let themselves down mentally. We need to get our heads right for our next game.”

Cooma have a top of the table clash versus ANU on Wednesday night in Canberra. The winner of that should go on to win the minor premiership so it will make for a cracking match.

Monaro Air Rifle Club On target – upgrade to Cooma Field and Game facility Monaro Air Rifle Club shooters continue to perform well against clubs from all over Australia.

At a recent Cabramatta competition, the club was represented by Peter Hickling and Bruno Schnitzer. Bruno placed first in C grade standard as well as first in Veteran Class, while Peter came in 2nd place in the E grade standard.

Karl Engelhardt also represented the club at the Hubertus club in

Liverpool and although he was unlucky on the day, still shot admirably.

We have two more postal shoots coming up this month.

The ARAA end of year and Canberra’s and our members are already looking in great shape with some fantastic scores being recorded. All members are still able to enter these competitions tonight.

Range opens from 6pm.

Taking aim – Member for Monaro John Barilaro gets a lesson in trap shooting from Cooma Field and Game Club president, Andrew Fairfield-Smith.

Peter Hickling and Bruno Schnitzer.

The Member for Monaro, John Barilaro has announced $7415 in NSW Government funding for the Cooma branch of the NSW Field and Game Association.

The grant falls under the 2015/16 Safe Shooting Program designed to improve and increase safety at shooting facilities in NSW. “The cub had received two

grants, one for $3945 to buy water tanks and install new guttering, a second grant of $3470 will be used to upgrade the range tracks at the club” Mr Barilaro said.

“It is a great pleasure to assist local clubs by providing the funds to increase the availability, standard and quality of sport facilities on the Monaro.

“I congratulate the club on their successful grant application and I look forward to seeing the benefits of this upgrade”.

Mr Barilaro said the Safe Shooting Program is also designed to improve safety during club sponsored activities held away from a club’s permanent base.

Cooma golfers brave the elements on wintry Wednesday Saturday’s Medley Stableford, played in excellent conditions, saw Brad Burke on 36 points edge out Wayne Flynn on 35 points.

The scores were quite low, probably due to the unusual wetness of the course which is looking fantastic for the time of year.

Balls were won by Roy Hankinson (35), David Goggin (33), Rob Smith (33), Heikki Evans (32), Alan Kelly (31), Kim Howard (31) and Dom Rossi (29).

Nearest the pin on nine was won by Alan Kelly and Brad Burke was nearest the pin on 17.

Sunday saw the running of the 2 Person Ambrose Championship which was won by David Robinson and Col Langdon with 63.5 nett. Runners up were Sean Smith and Mark Rainsford with 66.25 nett, whilst Brian Geach and

Adam Robinson won a ball with 68 nett.

Nearest the pin on four went to Col Langdon whilst Phil Amey was closest on 11.

For the second week running there was no Wednesday competition due to the poor weather although three intrepid souls actually managed nine holes before finding their sense. It is expected that the Club may offer psychiatric assistance to Messrs Rainsford, Caldwell and Introna once they thaw out.

Next week’s competitions will be a Medley Stableford on Wednesday and Saturday whilst Sunday will feature round eight of the Thredbo Super Stableford.

Community gets behind Kristian’s Olympics campaign Kristian Sandercoe has been selected to compete at the 2016 Special Olympics World Winter Games to be held in Austria.

Austria will host 3000 athletes from 117 countries at the games who will compete in nine different winter sports.

Kristian has been selected to compete in the Alpine Skiing competition and is one of just two winter athletes to have been selected from NSW. Kristian qualified after his success at the Special Olympics Autralia National Winter Games held at Mt Buller last year and his mother Jan says he is looking forward to Austria but he would not have been too worried if he did not make it.

Kristian, who is now 29, started skiing when he was six years old and Jan says while it was difficult initially he now loves the sport and benefits from it on a range of levels.

“He’s come a huge way. He’s had a number of good instructors through Perisher,” Jan said.

“He’s got a lot out of it. He’s had success and he enjoys it. It’s given him so many opportunities, the sport takes them there and there are more inclusive things like confidence and development.”

Special Olympic athletes receive limited funding and are required to pay their own way or rely on fundraising.

Athletes have a fundraising page set up through the Special Olympics website and Kristian and Jan have found the community to be very generous so far.

Team members walked around during the Interschools held at Thredbo recently and collected money and Jan says a large sum of money was raised when local woman Vicki Schoo shared the link on Facebook.

Jan has thanked the community for its support saying “the number of businesses that have said do you need something for a raffle? That’s what this community is about.”

“Snowsports at Thredbo asked if he (Kristian) needed a race helmet and he gave him a brand new race helmet and goggles.”

“Mick Klima (Rhythm Snowsports) has been fantastic in offering anything he needs. He has provided him with race skis. He’s so good with stuff like that.”

Anabelle Rivers at Feed Café will be running a fundraiser later in the year and the family would also like to acknowledge the support of Amanda Steinke and Disability Trust who will be will be fundraising through their various offices.

For training camps and the Olympic event itself, around $10,000 is needed. Kristian has come close to this target and the family is welcoming any donations which can be made at https://specialolympics.myetap.org/ fundraiser/teamaustralia2017/individual.do?participationR ef=867.0.514524589
