New electronic devices to help streamline council services Snowy Monaro Regional Council plans to progressively introduce new and appropriate technology for the delivery of faster and more efficient customer service. The Council’s long-term vision is to create better two-way flow of information between Council and stakeholders at all offices and across a wide range of channels.

The first stage has been to purchase four iPads for Council’s Bombala branch.

The new devices are already being put to good use, enabling the local community and planners to electronically access the Housing Code.

This is helping Planning Officers to better assist Council’s stakeholders with building applications and other relevant enquires. A large video

Questions remain over funding model A recent funding announcement for preschools across the state has been met with hesitation from a local operator, who believes the latest measures fail to address a number of lingering issues within the sector.

Last week the Member for Monaro, John Barilaro, declared the state government’s decision to provide an additional $115 million funding for NSW preschools as ‘fantastic news’.

The news wasn’t as well received at Lambie Street Pre-School with director, Cathy Toohey, still concerned over the government’s 600-hour based model of funding.

“The funding is a good thing but this announcement still appears to have not addressed issues we’ve

raised,” Ms Toohey said.

“The magic 600 hours is a real issue and this has just enhanced that.

It appears the 600-hour figure hasn’t changed.

It appears pre-schools will only be eligible for funding increases if they do meet the 600 hours of early childhood education throughout the year. In the case of Lambie Street PreSchool, concerns raised with various levels of government have failed to see a re-think in this model.

“Our push was for 12 hour weeks [two, six hour days per student] and this would assist with funding,” Ms Toohey said.

With the number of students currently enrolled at Lambie Street, the education centre will not be able to meet the 15 hours

minimum per student or 600 hours in the year to qualify for funding.

“In rural communities it’s very different from the city. Not everyone can make it into town three days per week to make the 15 hours.”

Mr Barilaro welcomed the announcement, declaring it a windfall for the region.

“This is fantastic news for local families with young children,” Mr Barilaro said.

“I know the preschools here in the Monaro make a big difference to the lives of our children.

“This funding boost shows the NSW Government is serious about helping more families access early childhood education, especially for children from Aboriginal or lowincome families.”

Police busy with minor matters Blowing 0.122, a 31-year-old Bombala male was charged with a PCA offence in Forbes Street in Bombala. The man was pulled over by police for the purpose of a random breath test on Thursday September 15. Issued with a court attendance notice for October 4 in Bombala Court, the man’s licence has been suspended.

A 33-year-old female returned a positive result for cannabis and methamphetamines during a random drug test in Sharp Street. Stopped by police, the woman was issued with a 24-hour suspension and the saliva samples have been sent to Sydney for further analysis. If confirmed to be positive, police will take action against the woman.

A 38-year-old man from Merimbula was issued with a fail to quit and remain in the vicinity infringement notice after being asked several times to leave the Thredbo Alpine Hotel.

Becoming intoxicated, the man became argumentative when he was asked

to leave the bar on the night of Friday September 16. Additional security was required to remove him from the premises. Remaining outside the hotel, he was asked several more times to leave the area. Finally leaving and joining a queue for buses, he became argumentative with other people waiting in the line. Police were called to the scene and gave the man a ‘move on’ direction. Police observed him walking away. Sometime later, police received a call that the man had returned to the bar.

Police then took him to the Jindabyne station where he was issued with the infringement notice.

Some human remains were found along the Molonglo River in Queanbeyan on Saturday September 17. A person walking their dog under the railway bridge at 7am discovered the remains.

Crime scene detectives attended the location with the remains being sent to the Canberra Forensic Medical Centre for DNA analysis.

The Monaro’s winter wet

Lake Wallace Dam at Nimmitabel has reached capacity after recent heavy rainfalls.

Locals could be forgiven for thinking they were getting extra use of their umbrellas of late with Cooma experiencing its wettest winter in 18 years.

The winter deluge has continued into the start of spring with recent heavy rainfalls seeing Lake Wallace Dam now at capacity.

Downpours on the weekend of September 10 and 11 not only saw the dam at Nimmitabel quickly fill up, but forced the closure of a number of Cooma roads.

While there was only 18mm recorded by the Bureau of Meteorology in Cooma for that weekend, rain falling outside of town made its way into town, forcing Cooma Creek to breach its banks.

The Massie, Commissioner, and Creek Street causeways were shut for the majority of the afternoon on Saturday 10 as the creek inundated the footbridge at Massie St. Residents watching the creek in full flight remarked on the speed of the water passing through town. Residents in Nimmitabel were less surprised with one local recording 59mm in town.

Cooma’s winter wet was one for the statisticians, with the month of June the wettest on record.

170mm fell across the month with 120mm falling in the first six days.

July and August saw more modest falls but combined the winter period registered 218mm, the most rain since 1998 when 236mm fell.

In the last four decades, 1991 was comfortably the wettest on record with 349mm. This means 2016 came in third on the BOM’s 40-year rainfall records.

June itself saw more rain fall on Cooma than the winter seasons of all but two years since 1976.

As Lake Wallace Dam sits at capacity, SnowyMonaro Regional Council engineer and dam project manager Keith Walker, said the recent September rains have left as much rain as he can remember.

“In 32 years I haven’t seen as much water on the side of the road,” Mr Walker said.

“The dam is looking really impressive. It’s about 20mm over the top and there’s a good environmental flow coming out of the dam.”

Clowning about...

Toni Tarakson aka ‘Tickle Pink’ the clown is travelling from Jindabyne to Bowral to raise money for The Humour Foundation and bring awareness to the Clown Doctor program.

She stopped in at the Berridale Post Office, who hosted a sausage sizzle and entertainment for the kids.

They managed to raise $500 at the stop off and ran out of sausages.

The Humour Foundation is an Australian charity dedicated to promoting and delivering the health benefits of humour.

It was the vision of a performer who wanted to use his talents to give something back to the community and a general practitioner. They had often talked about the ‘art of medicine’.

They were inspired by meeting Dr

Patch Adams, by research findings on the benefits of humour, and the work of Swiss-based Theodora Foundation and the Big Apple Clown Care Unit in New York.

Through the charity, they found a new and unique way to give something back. Clown Doctors was an immediate way to deliver the health benefits of humour to those who needed it most.

Toni was personal friends with one of the founding members, Dr Peter Spitzer who passed away last year, which is where her motivation to help raise money for the foundation comes from.

Pictured: Tickle Pink the clown with local children at the Berridale Post Office.

Spring art exhibition The Monaro Art Group will be holding the Service One Alliance Bank Spring Exhibition this Friday at The Little Gallery in the Hain Centre.

There are many outstanding artists in Cooma and the surrounding areas who are members of the Monaro Art Group and will be exhibiting their new works at this year’s show.

The group says they are very lucky to notable Cooma artist Gillian Jenkins, who has agreed to judge this show.

Gillian is highly qualified through Sydney institutions with many years’ experience in teaching in Sydney and working on large projects and street art.

Monaro Art Group is made up of people ranging from their thirties to sixties with most people being from Cooma and a few members coming from the coast.

There are some well established artists within the group but they are welcoming of people of all abilities to join.

The group runs affordable art classes at the Raglan Gallery on Mondays, led by artist Sylvia Wall.

Vice President Greg Williams said that art is very therapeutic and the classes are a good opportunity for the elderly and people with mental illness to remain active.

On Tuesdays, the group gets together to talk about what they have learnt and socialise at the Little Gallery.

They would like to thank the generosity of the Hain family for their assistance with subsidising the rent for the gallery.

Several businesses are very generously sponsoring money for the Spring Exhibition prize pool for which they have the heartfelt thanks from the Monaro Art Group and the artists entering work.

The group would like to thank Service One Alliance Bank, Cooma Rural, Monaro Wool Services, Boller and Co and the Raglan Gallery.

Snowy Mountains Christian School turns 20 School is proud in the accomplishments of its students and the character of who they are.

The school celebrates academic excellence in its students, and the community the school has become for students past and present, staff, parents and volunteers.

Today there are second generation children at Snowy Mountains Christian School.

The common theme for reflection on past students is the nurturing and encouragement at SMCS in the warmth of a caring supportive environment. Having been always a small school with small class sizes, it is ideal for increased teacher to student interactions and more personal approach to learning.

The community at Snowy Mountains Christian School are thankful for all God has done in its school and the wonderful young men and women who have come through the school over the last 20 years.

Administrator’s Column Over the past few weeks I have had many positive meetings with our Local Representative Committees and local community members.

On Tuesday 13 September I went out to meet with the Delegate Progress Association with Bombala LRC member Di Hampshire. We discussed issues that are affecting their immediate area; such as landfill, unsafe footpaths, disabled access around the town and their ideas on how we could make the main street more attractive for visitors. The Progress Association also raised some really good feedback regarding the proposed Streetscape plans for Delegate. It was great to meet with the Association as their ideas had really good foundations. Council will be holding consultation in relation to the streetscape plans, and we will be announcing details shortly – I look forward to seeing you all there.

Many of you have been coming to me with concerns about the state of crown roads across the shire, as many of them need repairing after our recent rain events and general wear and tear. The General Manager and I met with the Senior Policy Advisor to the Minister for Lands sand Water while in Sydney for a merger forum. We had a positive meeting and are working on gaining approval from Crown Lands to start work as quickly as possible so we can start repairing these roads for you. We want to see a good outcome for all, so if there are any concerns please contact our Service Delivery team.

Our Local Representative Committees looked at the summary of applications for the Stronger Communities Fund and have given their feedback to their chairmen to take to the assessment panel. This exercise has also allowed our LRCs to see what the community wants and what infrastructure you think needs revitalising or repairing. It’s fantastic to see so many applications received and the level of enthusiasm from the community has exceeded our expectations. Our assessment panel will be meeting shortly and the recipients will be announced soon. I’m really excited to give this money away and seeing the results of what you do with it.

Calling all brass and Nassar’s Amphicar a winner wind players Rehearsals are now well underway for the “Cooma Proms”, to be presented by local brass and wind players, at Cooma Ex Service’s Club on Thursday 17 November 2016 at 7.30pm.

So what is a “Proms concert”?

Well it won’t be quite as big as the BBC Proms, but the principle is the same. Tickets are cheap. The atmosphere is informal. Eating and drinking is permitted, and concert goers are encouraged to wear casual clothes, sensible shoes, and join in.

Bring your family, and a picnic rug. Half the hall will be seats and the other half for those with picnic rugs and pillows.

The emphasis is on fun, and to bring live classical music to those who’ve never been before. If you’ve never been to a live classical performance, this is your concert.

Pieces will range from the beautiful “Blue Danube” to “Ravel’s Bolero”, and from Gershwin’s sultry “Summertime” and from “West Side Story” and “Bohemian Rhapsody” through to some really big noisy pieces – “William Tell Overture”, “Carmina Burana” and “1812 Overture”.

Balloons, party poppers and

fancy dress are all encouraged.

In a new twist, and with a nod to Cooma’s multicultural heritage, patrons are encouraged to bring a flag from their ancestry – from Aboriginal to French, Thai to Egyptian, come along and wave the flag of your ancestors.

But at this stage, the group is after any classical musicians, especially brass and wind players, who would like to participate. They are invited to the Cooma District Band Rehearsal Rooms, Old Cooma Railway Station at 6:15 pm any Thursday in September and October to see if you want to give it a go. We are especially after percussionists, and wind instrument players.

Anyone with expertise in making the sound of Cathedral Bells, or constructing an easy to operate cannon (without risk to the audience or the structure of the Ex Service’s Club) is most welcome.

Audience participation is planned, and expect the odd surprise.

A “Schools Prom” is also planned for midday, Wednesday 16 November, free for all primary school children. Invitations will be sent around to the schools.

The Nassar family attended the Shannons German Auto Day in Canberra on Sunday September 18.

Despite some rain patches, they had an impressive day out with plenty of interest towards their Amphicar which of course did not mind getting wet!!

German Auto display day brings together the major German vehicle manufactures - Mercedes Benz, Porsche, VW, Audi and BMW together with German music and food, it is a great family day.

Proceeds from the day will go to Soldier On which supports those who have served by focusing on their physical and mental health, their community and their future.

The day is also a celebration of the 100 years in business of BMW and 40th year of the Mercedes Benz Club in Canberra.

About 300 vehicles from the various German manufacturers attended the day. Of particular interest was the Amphicar which is made up of bits and pieces of the major German manufacturers and has ownership rights by the Quant Group who in turn are the major shareholders of BMW. Although the Amphicar is represented by the Cooma Monaro Historic Car Club, it has always been welcomed by the BMW Club of Canberra in which Tony and his family are supporting members.

Tony and his son Jozeph detailed the car ready for the show and with his wife, Rebecca, embraced the rain to answer many questions from the public regarding this unique vehicle. A special thank you goes out to Maurice Henkel who serviced and maintained the Amphicar ready for its summer of car shows.

Tony and Jozeph received the first prize of the day as the overall winner in the Rare Marquee category and then followed by an announcement from the BMW group as the trophy winner for first prize in the Group A category for the Show and Shine event.

Tony and Rebecca will now travel to Sydney to represent the Cooma Monaro Historic Car Club for the German Auto Day held at Gough Whitlam Park this Sunday September 25.

I was hacked‌

A warning to others.

A local resident has recently had their computer hacked and their bank account compromised by hackers.

The experience was very distressing and costly.

While the police are investigating and hopefully the hackers will be caught, here is some advice from the victim.

One extra piece of advice is – if your phone rings and there is a delay in the caller speaking, HANG UP. That delay can mean the call is from overseas and/or from an unfriendly caller. Just HANG UP!

YOUR COMPUTER IS BEING HACKED IF...

1. IF: Whenever you check for emails a pop window appears on your screen ‘mail.com “user: aab@bigpond.com password: ***** � The pop up window will continue to appear even if you key in your bigpond password and you do not receive emails even if a person is requested to send you an email. YOUR COMPUTER IS BEING HACKED. 2. IF: Two days following the non-arrival of the test email, you telephone Telstra to complain and are put through to Bigpond at about 5.00pm. You listen to music for about an hour whilst awaiting a connection with technical support.

You then explain that you are not receiving emails nor can you transmit them. You could be asked for your telephone number.

3. IF: Circa 7pm the phone rings and a caller who cannot speak English clearly speaks and you think it is Bigpond and ask to speak to someone who can. The team leader who still cannot say WWW. as an English speaking person would, will say words to the effect: “Are you having trouble with your emails (or something similar) and say in order to check your computer for faults, will you leave my computer running so we can check it for hacking and viruses.�

4. IF: He asks as an example “When will you be available between the next day?� You respond “Between 7 am and 9.30 am.

IF you say “Yes� and you ask for his details. A series of numbers and script in basic text confirming his presence appears. You leave your computer running all night as virus checking can take a long time and there are active signals in green on your monitor. YOUR COMPUTER IS BEING HACKED 5. IF the following morning at 7.15am the phone rings and the same caller or hacker, identifies himself and states he has “found evidence of hackers� and displays on your monitor a list of data with some of which stated “run� or many which stated “error�.

IF he begins to tell you to key in varied data on your machine in order to clean up your machine. Most of the commands begin with “www� and then different alphabetical

...JUST LIKE THE REAL THING.

combinations. You are asked to leave the phone line open and the receiver beside the keyboard. You are asked for your mobile number and you respond.

IF this continues for close on three hours and you say need coffee, the hacker tells you to check the phone in half an hour and leave it connected on by the computer. Every time you disconnect the landline phone, he rings your mobile number.

IF you at any stage are asked to click on the icon “team viewer 11â€? – an icon you were not aware of before, YOUR MACHINE IS CONNECTED TO THE REMOTE CONTROL OF THE HACKER’S MACHINE. If you click on it you will see the following: Remote Control Meeting, Allow Remote Control Control Remote Control Your ID: Partner ID: Password: (This number changes) Unattended Access • Start Team View with Windows • Remote control • Assign device to account • File transfer • Grant easy access When the window is not displayed a “team viewerâ€? file on the left side bottom of your screen if the hacker has control of your machine. YOU ARE BEING HACKED During the calls on the land line IF YOU ARE ASKED many questions including the following “is there another computer in the houseâ€?. “Do you bank online?â€? “Do you use Facebook?â€?, “Do I have Skype?â€? “Does anyone else use your computer? “What was your date of birth?â€? Most of your answers are “no apart from online banking, on which you access to view the balances of accountsâ€?. YOU ARE BEING HACKED The hacker will repeat over and over again “this is highly confidential, you must not tell anyone, your familyâ€? etc.

By this time your brain was becoming completely addled by someone in a foreign accent and you want him off your computer and off your phone line. You are hassled all morning with commands etc. When you say you have to make calls, he hung up but then rings your mobile and requests that you leave the line open. Eventually he says “come back and pick up the landline phone at 12.30�

At circa 12.30 the landline rings the hacker says “In order for him to catch the hacker you must send him money. You must go to the bank and withdraw an amount in cash.�

When you reply “I do not have the money in my account.� He says “we will transfer money into your account and requests your banking details�.

The Hacker will then say “Go into your online bank account and you will see the money deposited there� which you do and there are additional funds in your personal account.

He will then ask “is your bank far away from your house,

MAYBE DECOR alterations & soft furnishings $n & n' ' % l \ Fascinators \ +) ' \ '' n &)

/ ')

does it take long to get there?�. You give details.

He then instructs repeatedly “Go to the bank. Do not speak to anyone. Take your mobile phone with you and do not use it inside the bank. Withdraw the money. Return home and pick up the phone. I will then tell you where to send the money.

Do not speak to anyone. All this is highly confidential�

Totally brainwashed, you comply. On the way home you go to the police station but it is closed. On returning home your computer display screen shows “Australia Post...You pick up the phone as ordered and he asks “is this far from your house?� You reply “No.�

THE HACKER then says “Go there to the Western Union counter and say I wish to send $..... to (the name appears on your computer screen) and ask How do I do that? If anyone asks you why you want to transfer the money, say it is for a friend. Ask how much does it cost to transfer the money and deduct that from the total. Note the money control number.

When you return home type the control number on the monitor display.�

Foolishly you transfer the money to ........... through Western Union and advise the hacker of the transfer details, believing you are dealing with a Bigpond employee and being given bogus data. BY THIS STAGE YOU HAVE BEEN TOTALLY DUPED. There are more details to this awful account of computer hacking and fraud to an unsuspecting, trusting and gullible aged pensioner. Believe it or not, the hacker will follow up with possibly up to six more phone calls.

IF YOU SUSPECT YOUR COMPUTER IS HACKED • Hang up on callers whose speech you cannot understand • Call Telstra immediately pop-up windows appear.

Always note details in a daily diary. • Never allow remote access to your computer, even �Bigpond� • Verify funds in your bank accounts using telephone banking • If you have concerns about overseas money transfers, call the Western Union number on the reverse side of the form for transferring money. • Immediately change your email server and email address • Notify the Australian Federal Police though Scam Watch using Google, and NSW Police • Contact your bank BECAUSE the hacker has skimmed other accounts to boost the amount in your account during the hacking. • The hacker can also your contact list in your email address book.

Future of e-waste

Bombala High students major works The Bombala High School’s Year 12 Design and Technology students have wowed everyone with their Major Works this year.

Six works were put on display both for HSC markers and the public last Wednesday, with the stu-dents receiving high praise for their efforts.

The projects were greatly varied this year and included - a

TV unit (Courtney Crotty), pizza oven (Thomas Dyer), a surfboard (Janine Jamieson), a recycled multimedia mural (Ana Ponsford), and a double bed (Alex Rosten) and queen size bed (Makayla Standen).

All are of an extremely high quality and the six students can be proud of their achievement.

LE P O E P L A C LO

Pictured: Below: Ana Ponsford took an original approach with her recycled multimedia mural.

Right: Bombala’s Janine Jamieson with the surfboard she created as her major work.

Burchall’s Transport and Recycling are currently in talks with Toxfree regarding the transport of e-waste materials to their Melbourne based depot.

Burchall’s are a provider of builder’s waste skips and recycling bins in various sizes and construction and provide a waste management service servicing requirements throughout the Cooma-Monaro and Snowy Mountains regions as well as the ski fields.

The company employs 15 people on a full time equivalent and uses their own transport for

moving recyclables or makes use of other local transport companies.

Toxfree deals with end of life recyclables e-waste, with 99.5 percent of items being recycled.

Under the proposal, Burchall’s will collect the waste in smaller, versatile bundles and consolidate it into heavier weights before it is transported to Melbourne.

The plan will benefit the environment by keeping waste out of landfill and will add to what Burchall’s already do for recycling in the region.

It’s Spring, it’s time to add luxurious ambiance to any home.

SMGS junior school conduct waste audit Last week our Gardening Club, the Fruit Explosions led by Ms Tavia Taylor, took part in a waste audit of our school.

They analysed the types of rubbish that we produce as a school community, with the aim of providing us all with some recommendations on how best to dispose of our waste.

Although this sounds like a task from which some might want to be far removed, our students eagerly took to the rubbish with their

aprons and gloves on, holding their tongs, and managed to filter through quite a large amount of rubbish. They are currently analysing their results and we look forward to reporting back on their findings in the near future. We would like to thank the Snowy Monaro Regional Council and the Bournda Environmental Education Centre for their assistance with the waste audit and helping us come up with a plan to reduce waste within our school.

Best Music Video in YoofTube Short Film competition SMGS Year 11 student and Cooma resident Oscar Litchfield was recently announced as the winner of Best Music Video in the 2016 YOOFTube Short Film Competition.

The video Oscar submitted for the competition was a music video entitled “Escape”.

In addition to filming and producing the video, Oscar wrote both the lyrics and the music of the song in the video.

When asked about the significance of the song and the natural setting of the video, Oscar said, “For me, the video is about getting outside and seeing what there is beyond people living their lives through screens, and not living in the moment. I “I feel that my generation, in particular, are spending too much time on our phones and are losing some of the time that would otherwise be spent on other

things that keep us in the moment.”

SMGS music teacher, Sue Sell, was very proud of the Year 11 student’s achievement, saying, “Oscar is a passionate young music student who is an absolute pleasure to work with. He is keen and works hard at improving his guitar playing, his vocals and writing lyrics that have meaning for him.”

Musicians constantly draw inspiration from the people and world around them. For Oscar, there is one person in particular he looks up to. Oscar said, “My biggest role model would have to be my dad. Although he doesn’t actually play any music and isn’t a videographer, his inspiration and constantly positive outlook on life really is one of the largest influences on my life.”

Berridale Public School celebrates Roald Dahl’s 100th Birthday in splendiferous style On Tuesday 13th September, teachers, parents and students of Berridale Public School dressed up as a character from one of Roald Dahl’s books to celebrate what would have been his 100th birthday.

Renowned for his novels including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda and the BFG, everyone had a range of characters to choose from. Children have all enjoyed reading or watching one of his stories come to life, so it was fitting for the

children of Berridale to celebrate this special event.

From Willy Wonka, to the BFG, Oompa Loompa’s to Matilda, so many characters were re-created by the students and teachers for the day.

Golden tickets were sent home with newsletters to invite parents along for a great day of celebrations .Fun activities and crafts entertained including ‘pin the lizard on Ms. Trunchbull’, biscuit decorating inspired by Willy Wonka

New faces keep Senior Cits Club going Shannons Flat Community Day There’s nothing more Australian than a fundraiser sausage sizzle on a Saturday. The Shannons Flat Hall Committee and the Shannons Flat-Yaouk Fire Brigade are again hosting their Community Day. Held at the Shannons Flat Hall on Saturday October 1, it is a great chance to get the kids out of the house for a look at the fire trucks.

The fire brigade will be there, doing demonstrations and giving out helpful tips on how to prepare for the coming bush fire season.

It’s also a great opportunity to find out what being a volunteer actually involves.

All the money raised will go towards the Shannons Flat Hall. Built more than 70 years ago, the Hall is an important building for the community out there.

Hosting two dances each year, a spring one and an autumn one, and a Christmas party for the local children, it holds many happy memories for the people in the Shannons Flat

area.

Holding the community fundraising day for the past three years, the day has been successful in raising money to complete crucial upgrades to the building.

Painting both inside and out and installing a kitchen, along with all the appliances required, are just a couple of things the committee has been able to achieve due to the generosity of the community.

In terms of future improvements, the committee hope to install some heating for the Hall, to allow for more winter events to be hosted there.

The event is being held in conjunction with the launch of the fishing season on the October long weekend. The BBQ will begin at 7.30am and finish at 3pm with bacon and egg rolls, sausages, drinks and cakes available.

The fire brigade will be hosting their demonstrations and other activities between 11am and 1pm.

The new Senior Citizens Club committee: Julie Turner, treasurer; Valmai Mylan, committee member; Elaine Schofield, secretary; and Judy Costello, president. Absent: Vick Weston, vice-president; and Elaine Lonergan, committee member.

Last week’s Senior Citizens Club’s Annual General Meeting was almost the last meeting of the longstanding club after difficulty in filling the executive committee positions.

To ensure the club’s survival a number of willing participants accepted roles on the committee,

with a change of faces from previous years.

The committee is comprised of president Judy Costello, secretary Elaine Schofield, treasurer Julie Turner, and vice-president Vick Weston.

Committee member positions were also filled with a lower than expected number of people in attendance.

The club has been active within the past 12 months, making

donations to the Cooma Hospital Auxiliary and the Snowy Hydro SouthCare Helicopter.

To ensure senior citizens have social pathways in Cooma, the club has bingo and card activities throughout the week.

Plans are already underway for their Christmas luncheon at the Cooma Ex-Services Club on December 8.

CUC represented at Universities Conference

On August 31st and September 1st, Shannon Payten-McDonald from the Cooma Universities Centre attended an Australia wide conference of University representatives in Coffs Harbour. The AHEHCF (Australian Higher Education Heads of Campus Forum) is an independent grouping of campus heads and business managers with the goal of facilitating the exchange of ideas and best practice of working within and managing campuses within the Australian higher education sector.

Amongst the groups were campus heads from Monash University, Southern Cross University, CQUniversity, University of the Sunshine Coast, University of South

Australia and Geraldton Universities Centre (which the Cooma Universities Centre was initially modelled off).

Shannon says, “It was a great experience to meet people who have the same passion for education in regional areas as we do here at the CUC. The issues that were discussed were interesting and informative, and I am grateful to the CUC for the opportunity to learn more about our sector.”

For further information about tertiary education contact the CUC on 02 6452 3368 or email info@coomauc.com.au with your enquiry.

2016 Red tape Survey: Time to recommit to red tape reduction The NSW Business Chamber, the state’s peak business organisation, has released its annual Red Tape Survey and has called on the NSW Government to demonstrate a stronger commitment to regulatory reform and re-examine its approach to reducing the burden of red tape.

“From our survey of almost 1000 NSW businesses, we estimate that NSW businesses are weighed down by around $10 billion in compliance costs each year, with the annual cost of complying with government regulatory requirements reported as being $58,000 for the average respondent,” said Stephen Cartwright, NSW Business Chamber Chief Executive Officer.

“For a business owner, that can be the difference between hiring an extra employee or investing to expand their business.

“While we cannot expect all of these costs to be removed, governments can make things better by applying best practice regulation design and actively working to get rid of unnecessary complexity” said Mr Cartwright.

Key findings from the 2016 Red Tape Survey include: • On average, respondents to the survey spend 14 hours per week complying with government regulatory requirements • Industrial relations and tax compliance are the most complex areas for business.

• Record keeping, and understanding/ finding information about obligations are relatively more complex than in 2014.

• Smaller businesses are less pessimistic about the burden of red tape relative to larger businesses, but smaller businesses find it harder to find information and understand their regulatory obligations.

“As the recent NSW Audit Office report has highlighted, there is currently no effective central oversight to ensure the principles of better regulation are being properly applied

within government and accordingly a new red tape reduction framework is required.

“Red tape reduction requires clear and consistent commitment from Government and their agencies over the longer term.

It’s encouraging to see, however, that respondents to this survey reported moderating compliance costs relative to earlier surveys.

“At a state level, respondents to the survey told us that the Department of Planning and local councils are the most complex agencies to deal with, and Service NSW the least complex. SafeWork NSW was the agency with the greatest positive improvement on this measure.

“The lessons learned from these improvements need to be leveraged across government to make compliance both easier and more effective.

“To make this happen, the Chamber has developed a 5 point action plan to ensure red tape reduction remains front and centre on the NSW Government’s agenda,” Mr Cartwright said The NSW Business Chamber’s 5 point action plan to reduce red tape: 1.

Make information on regulatory obligations across Government more open and accessible 2. Commit to new targets to reduce the impact and stock of regulation, including the regulatory burden associated with planning and local government 3.

Take a strategic approach to identifying red tape burden reduction opportunities for both new and existing businesses 4.

Create a coordination point for a whole-of-government approach to regulatory reform 5. Ensure that regulation is effective and proportional to risks faced by the community when compared with alternative approaches that could be taken

Berridale Lions Spring Fair to be a monster For 14 years the Berridale Lions have ended their long winter break with the Spring Fair. This year it will be held on Saturday October 1 of the long weekend, from 9am to 2pm.

One of the challenges with running our fairs is providing variety so that each fair is not the same old same old. We are continuing with the “MONSTER� fair format trialled at the Spring Fair in 2012, so that there will be activities, entertainment and stall variety to satisfy the most fastidious of patrons. Because of

the large number of stallholders the fair will extend over both the Lions Park and the Centennial Park on Jindabyne Road.

For the interest of fair patrons there will be guided tours of the Historic Aitchison House with tea and damper available nearby, fire safety demonstrations by the Berridale RFS, an SES equipment display, a static display of exSnowy heavy equipment and a static display of vintage and veteran motor vehicles. A new attraction will be wood turning at various times throughout the day.

For the children there will be a small animal petting zoo, a jumping castle and at 11:30am a lolly scramble.

Music is important to the ambiance of the fair and following the successful use of buskers at the Easter fair the Club has arranged for buskers to perform at this Spring Fair.

Hot food will be available from the Lions Barbeque with wide choice of wholesome food at reasonable prices.

Concurrently the ladies of the CWA will be providing Devonshire

New Bundian Way Exhibition It’ll be all about the art once again this weekend in Delegate, with two great new exhibitions being opened at the Bundian Way and Borderline Galleries this coming Saturday, September 24.

The Bundian Way Gallery will be launching, “Wonder, Inspiration & the Bundian Way�, with the Cooma Monaro Aboriginal Education Consultative Group presenting “Monaro Schools on the Bundian Way�.

This will be a great celebration of Aboriginal Educational Outcomes, with an exciting collection of artworks from the region’s schools to be showcased.

Member for Eden-Monaro, Mike Kelly will officially open the exhibition at 11am, with hopes that a good sized gathering will come along to take in the impressive collection.

POST & RAIL

Wednesday September 21, 2016

the

POST man

C A L L S The Postman is not a fan of the TV show Q & A on the ABC, but is sorry to have missed this week’s program.

From all accounts, Magda Szubanski and Jimmy Barnes showed up the politicians on the program, simply by speaking plain English.

No weasel words, no flim-flammery, just plain English.

For Magda, the notion of a plebiscite on same-sex marriage and its cost is abhorrent. It is abhorrent to The Postman as well.

Millions of dollars wasted on an issue which can be decided in Parliament – you know, the place where our elected representatives are supposed make decisions on our behalf.

The money proposed to be spent shifting the ‘blame’ of a decision on gay marriage could be much better spent providing essential service – such as nurses, police, aged care homes, better schools, better teacher training, infrastructure, nationbuilding programs, etc.

It’s a no-brainer. Don’t waste the money!

Ratepayers in Snowy Monaro Regional Council continue to grumble about this year’s increases.

Even pensioners are facing a significant hike, from basic rates to water and waste collection. Which wouldn’t be so bad if they also had a significant hike in income, but they don’t.

Even a $425 pensioner rebate does little to offset the costs, when the cost of living is also increasing.

The Postman thought it has been a bit wet, but apparently we have just experienced our wettest June on record.

That would explain the “danger wet surface” signs popping up near rabbit warrens - and the snorkels!

Privatisation rumours of Snowy Hydro Ltd Editor, RE: Snowy Hydro Privatisation rumour Despite recent attempts to quash the above rumour, I keep hearing another rumour this time that a telephone/survey (like last time) is being conducted to establish the current views of citizens in regard to a proposed sale of Snowy Hydro.

I hear the Snowy Hydro employees are not eligible to participate in this survey. It seems an unwarranted expense if the powers that be have no intention or consideration to privatise Snowy Hydro Ltd. Snowy Hydro also still have ownership of a lot of land within their assets and control of the foreshore around the lakes, it is not inconceivable to imagine that a new owner looking to maximise business opportunities and return on investment to charge people for foreshore access for the purposes of fishing, boating, camping or other recreational pursuits thus denying the general population access to what was originally built and paid for by the people of Australia and for the benefit of all Australians.

The general population is fully aware that Snowy Hydro Ltd does not own the water, we have been told repeatedly, it is true government owns the water so therefore it really belongs to the people and the Water Licence is the instrument of regulation that must be abided by all parties. Whilst there are what seems to be generous allocations within the licence to provide water entitlements to Cooma, Jindabyne and the other Snowy-built towns who know what their requirements will be into the future due to population growth and climate

change. The ACT are already paying compensation to Snowy Hydro for their supplementary water requirements released from Tantangara.

Snowy Hydro Ltd do have control of the timing of water releases and must stay within the rules of the Water Licence.

Timing of releases can be critical for those downstream. It could happen if the water levels in the dams are not managed as well as they might be that you get releases into downstream flooding. Many will recall the desperate position Jindabyne was in during the 10-year drought when the water levels in the dam were too low.

I understand that the ministers for Finance in the three shareholding governments are the registered holders of the shares on behalf of State and therefore the people. Therefore, I ask “where is the good faith on ministers who attempt to sell off state-owned assets which they hold on behalf of the people without first putting the proposal to the people spelling out the pros and cons of such action and conducting a proper debate in the Parliament?

The Snowy Hydro Water Licence is due for review in 2017. It is still a major concern as it is the instrument that regulates the minimum releases of water both to irrigation and to the environment. This licence runs for 75 years and came into being with corporatisation so it must have about 50 or so years still to run.

Given the complexities of the water licence it is hard to imagine how the legal requirements can be met to cover all eventualities and thus provide adequate protection to the existing and future stakeholders.

Any changes made to the licence within that time for any reason requires the government to pay compensations at present day market value to the company for any loss of earnings.

The price of electricity is set by the ‘spot market’, the price on the day when a major event happens, for example, an interstate grid comes down, breakdowns at power stations, the undersea cable to Tasmania breaks down, heat waves or bush fires push up demand – these are all things that can and do trigger demand that can send the spot market to the maximum price.

Therefore any changes to the Water Licence that could impact on Snowy Hydro profits could cause massive compensation payouts to be made to Snowy Hydro by shareholding governments – or put another way – by the people who really own the asset.

Electricity generation is the means of releasing water from the dams, without generation there is no water going downstream with the exception of Tantangara.

It should not be forgotten that the large dividends Snowy Hydro pay annually to the three governments and the generous contribution Snowy Hydro make to the local community would be lost should Snowy Hydro be sold.

So long as Snowy Hydro is owned by the people all this compensation is only circular money but once Snowy Hydro Ltd is sold, then it’s real money going out the door and most likely out the country.

Rates notices issued: There must be some mistake Editor, I wish to draw attention to the official prior statement/ commitment of the NSW Government elect re: the implications to ratepayers of council amalgamations in NSW. Specifically I note the NSW Government statement that newly amalgamated councils will be maintaining the current applicable

level of rates and charges for a transitional period of four years.

Clearly, the above NSW Government commitment has not been adhered to by the new Snowy Monaro Regional Council (SMRC) as is evidenced within the recent ‘rates and charges tax invoice’ dated 31/8/2016.

This must be an oversight by the new council (teething problems perhaps) or it is much

worse.

Whatever the reason, it appears appropriate to me to withhold my SMRC rates and charges payment until this oversight is rectified.

The new SMRC might wish to consider the implications of this early ‘error’ – and fix it!

Gunter Gorman Cooma

Site should be used for community Editor, The future of Cooma is at stake at the present time in the decision making of a one off situation.

SMEC, which was born in Cooma from the Snowy Mountains Authority, is leaving Cooma, and as well has been sold to a Singapore firm. SMEC owns an extensive property on the Cooma Back Creek, which is to be disposed of by the Company.

The Cooma and the Monaro Progress Association together with the Historical Society formed a Committee to see how the community could benefit from this disposal. Its convenor is Neil Brown. It has already done an enormous amount of work in working out what would be best for Cooma and the Monaro.

The Committee has a list of possible uses for the buildings and land on the site. These include a local Museum which we have not got in Cooma, the suggestion of a National Wool Museum; the unique Hydraulics Hall, a great tourist attraction in its own right, could be used for university engineering courses in conjunction with the Cooma University Centre.

It seems that the Cooma University Centre needs more room, and there are good brick offices which could be used. The area has sites that are potential

residential and/or commercial blocks. The area facing Sharp Street would make a wonderful public garden and parking for the grey nomads tourists.

The heritage claims should be met - the site was where the SMA and SMEC both set up their first offices, and John Lambie as early as 1838 is connected to the site. And there is much on the site of heritage value, for instance the gear that was used by the SMA to test seat belts is stored in one of the numerous buildings.

The Committee has been asking the wider community for further ideas for using the site. We can still hear from you! The Region Council, the Administrator, and the Local Region Representatives have all been active in getting the many issues sorted.

I have lived in Cooma for nearly 50 years, and like a lot of other people who live here I am passionate about what could be done for the future of Cooma if the site is used to better the future of Cooma.

Join us! The next meeting is at the Ex-Services Club next Monday September 26 at 5.30 pm.

By Lisa Ashurst How is the best way to encourage visitors to your home?

Well you could send out constant invitations but they’re no real guarantee. No, the most foolproof ways to ensure sudden surprise drop-ins are actually very simple.

One is that you have just done all the washing and the skies open so rather that stand out in the downpour pegging stuff on the line or just leaving it out to get sodden, you opt to drape it over every available place, like the backs of all the chairs, the stair railings, underwear on all the doorknobs and anywhere else you can sling damp T-shirt.

It’s not a great look. There’s also nowhere to sit either unless you perch your visitors on the edge of the chairs and ask them not to lean back. Chances are they won’t stay very long but they will show up. And when everything is dry? Leave it piled up on the couches or the dining table instead of ironing/folding it up straightaway. This will also attract the uninvited to your door.

Another is to forego the housework for a week or so, or let a few day’s worth of dishes pile up because you have been busy with other stuff. I mean, it’s just you there so you can get away with it on the odd occasion, right? Wrong. Someone will descend on you and it won’t matter how sincere you sound when you say “Oh gosh, I was just about to wash up/dust/ vacuum or whatever, they won’t believe you and will conclude you live slovenly all year round. They may even tell others you know about the mess they found when

they decided out of the blue to just drop by. It’ll definitely get around.

It’s the same if you have babies and you are up to your eyeballs in nappies, kids young enough to leave stuff all over the lounge room floor who have not yet cottoned on to the “clean up after yourselves” thingy and you haven’t got around to doing it, teenagers who treat coffee tables and kitchen benches like extra shelving space to put all manner of stuff or anything else that can leave a house looking like a war zone. All of these things seem to act like a magnet for acquaintances who just happen to be in your neck of the woods and decide to make a detour to your place.

This has rarely happened to me because I tend to be a bit of a neat freak but there have been those odd occasions when the place has looked a little less than neat and tidy and sure enough someone will come knocking and then I’m kicking myself. It could be worse though. Like, if I lived like that all the time and didn’t worry about dusty furniture, gritty floors and piles of unwashed laundry and dishes. Come to think of it, I knew a woman like that (a friend of a friend) many years ago and that’s how she lived all the time! It was so bad that it broke up her marriage and she didn’t give a rats A! On the other hand, she rarely had visitors…

It must be just the rest of us who have occasional lapses that get sprung.

Following a nutritious morning tea prepared by Ms Shelley and some Year 8 helpers, the students and teachers settled to some dot art work. Ms Pauline Coxon, an indigenous artist from Berridale, led the group through the techniques required.

Shianne Towan enjoyed the range of activities in Delegate.

After practising on a small card, a design was completed on some black-painted river rocks and a book mark. The results were spectacular!

Nira Windeatt: Life lessons learnt from an Olympic experience

Elle Mackintosh From swimming upstream in the creek at Narrabri, to the Olympic pool in Montreal, Nira Windeatt has had quite an adventurous life. “Swimming was the only way we could get out of our small town and see the world.� “My dad was the manager of the local swimming pool, so my five siblings and I were always in the water. During the summer holidays, when the pool became too busy for our training we would go down to the river and swim against the rapids. It was absolute torture, but it was really great training.�

Butterfly was Nira’s stroke of choice and she knew that in order to get out of Narrabri and see the world she needed to give 100% commitment to the sport. With no scholarships or government assistance for athletes then, Nira was supported by her parents, her swim club and the town of Narrabri to get to the level that she did.

Nira began swimming training at age six and worked her way through, Country, State and National Championships – at which she broke a number of Australian records for butterfly. At sixteen she went to the World Championships in Cali, Columbia and the next year to the 1976 Montreal Olympics. She was also Captain of Narrabri High School that same year. “At the World Champions I placed fourth in the 200m butterfly behind two East Germans and an American.

That was my best result,� she said, “But that was before drug testing had been brought in, and I remember that the Russian and East German athletes were quite scary to look at, very muscular and hairy with very deep voices.�

“Most of our 1976 Australian Olympic Swim team were quite young and naĂŻve. The oldest swimmer in the team was 23 and we had two girls that were only 13. “Many of the Australian Olympic team was made up of country people back then,â€? she said, “I think it is because in the country, we breed them tough. We also know that you have to train hard if you want to succeed.â€?

Nira met her husband Graham at the trials for the 1975 World Championships in Cali, Columbia and they trained together and both competed in Montreal.

Graham was already an Olympian and World record holder and had won a silver medal in the mens 1500m freestyle at Munich in 1972.

He also won gold at the Commonwealth Games and attended university in the USA at Tennessee on a swimming scholarship.

After the Olympics, Nira decided to hang up the swimmers and retire at just 18 years old. She returned to finish school then go to University in Sydney.

Considering that part of her life to be over, Nira was reluctant to tell people of her experience at the Olympics. “I didn’t really think it mattered, and I didn’t want it to influence the way people thought about me,� she said, “I worked with Australian Airlines and Qantas in a trainee management position and then with Continential Airlines. When they later found out I went to the Olympics they said ‘why didn’t you tell us?’ I just didn’t think it made a difference.�

However as time has gone on, Nira has a different take on things. “The experience of being involved in sport at that level has taught me many

important lessons. Sport teaches you how to deal with failures, how to show your competitors respect, how to deal with travelling and living away from home for a long time and how to interact with a huge variety of people. It also teaches you to aim for a goal and to be true to yourself. I was given the opportunity to learn these things very early in life by being involved in sport, and it has led to a rich and fulfilling life.�

Nira and Graham recently went to a reunion of the 1976 Montreal Olympic Australian swimming team.

She said it was interesting to see what everyone was up to now and how they had all dealt with their postOlympic lives.

Nira married Graham in 1979 and together they have two children, now aged in their 20s.

People of Jindabyne will know Nira as executive assistant to local businessman Bruce Marshall, who as well as other businesses owns of Nuggets Crossing, Jindabyne Mitre 10 and Lake Crackenback Resort.

She and her family moved to Jindabyne 16 years ago mainly to send their kids to Snowy Mountains Grammar School (SMGS) and to allow them to ski for sport.

Both their children are also very sporty, having been involved in dragon boating and skiing locally. In fact, Nira’s daughter has recently been involved in organising ‘welcome home’ events for the returning Australian Rio Olympic competitors around Australia. “I was very upset to see on the media that the Australian Olympic athletes were being criticised for not bringing home enough medals,� said Nira, “They must not understand how much work and sacrifice it has taken to get them to that level. To even be at the

Olympics and make it into a final is an extraordinary achievement, and to be criticised by your own country for not coming home with a medal is appalling.�

However, Nira was pleased to hear from her daughter, that despite the trepidation the competitors felt about coming home, the Olympians were being welcomed back as heroes.

Nira’s son is currently in Canada working at Camp

Olympia, so the apple has not fallen far from the tree at all.

Graham and Nira have remained passionate about sport their whole lives. They are particularly passionate about bringing it to the public and educating them about the best practises available.

They owned and ran fitness centres in Sydney in the 80s - at the height of the aerobics craze.

Graham is currently working on apps that

allow coaches and players access to expert advice from the best in their field.

Graham has been working on this for the past eight years, and they currently have two programs. The rugby league app is called Panthers Complete League and the soccer version Everton Way will be coming soon. The idea is to provide access to the best practises in coaching and playing for all sporting associations, which are mostly made up

of volunteer parents who may not know the best way to go about training. This program supplies them with videos and information about how to go about it.

Nira is now enjoying her job at Nuggets Crossing, particularly because she loves being involved in the community and interacting with people.

2016 Dalgety Team Penning, Show Shear and Stockmen’s Time Trial A fun filled weekend is awaiting you again at Dalgety showground on September 24 and 25 when the Dalgety Show Society will host the seventh year of Team Penning and Show Shear, starting from 7.30am for competitors to sign waivers but the main event kicking off at 8.30am. This will be followed the next day on Sunday September 25 by the Saddle-Up Sunday and Stockmen’s Time Trial starting at 8am for sign up and 9am for the fun to begin.

Unfortunately the Team Penning entries have been fully filled as it has become such a successful event, so it was first in best dressed. So entries have closed for Team Penning but the Show Shear is still open as entries are taken on the day. So all you gun shearers get down to Dalgety and see if we can give those Bombala boys a run for their money.

Team Penning is a fun team’s horsesport consisting of four people per team, with only three of the team being in the arena at one time. Each team has 90 seconds to cut three head of cattle with the same coloured collars from the mob of 21. It is a great family sport with sections catering for sub-juniors, junior and open. But even if you don’t

participate it is a great event to watch where rider and horse come up against the cunning cattle, and it is not always the seasoned riders that come away with a win.

This eventful weekend also hosts a great local show shear competition. The competition involves four sections of Novice, Intermediate, Senior and Opens.

This wonderful event showcases the excellent skills and talent shearers have but it also allows them to gain feedback from renowned industry judges. It also displays the wonderful natural fibre of wool and how important the wool industry is to us all both locally, nationally and internationally. If you would like any further information on the Show Shear Competition please contact Shelly Thompson on 6456 5015 or email shellythompson@haboursat.com. au. Entries will be open on the morning of the competition from 8 am.

Sunday September 25 will see a great and enjoyable day for families and their horses with Saddle-up Sunday and Stockmen’s Challenge Time Trial. If you are interested in participating in events such as

flag races, bending, snakes and ladders, Nambour Nuisance, Baby Race, and Bawnduggie Bend, then this day is for you and your horse! We aim to cater for all riding abilities, The Stockmen’s Time Trial is designed to test both horse and rider’s ability whilst going through a series of events demonstrating a stockmen’s day on a horse. Entries will open on the morning of the competition from 8am. If you would like any further information about these horse events Joanne Miners is the contact for Saddle Up Sunday/Team Penning.

Dalgety Show Society and the Team Penning - Show Shear Saddle Up Sunday/Stockmen’s Time Trial Team look forward to seeing everyone, riders, their families and spectators for a great couple of fun days out at the Dalgety Showground on the weekend of the 24 and 25 September 2016!

Farmer and food blogger take out national Rural Women’s Award Sophie Hansen, a deer farmer, food blogger and author from Orange, NSW has been announced as the national winner of the 2016 RIRDC Rural Women’s Award.

The award celebrates brilliant women and the positive impact they have on rural industries, businesses and communities.

The announcement was made

by Deputy Prime Minister, Barnaby Joyce in front of 300 industry leaders, parliamentarians and award alumnae at a gala dinner at Parliament House on Wednesday.

Sophie Hansen, as the NSW State winner, received $10,000 to develop her project ‘My Open Kitchen’, a unique online learning course assisting food producers to embrace the power of social media to share their food stories and better connect with their consumers. As the national winner, she receives a further $10,000 to strengthen her leadership skills and share her experience with others around the country.

Sophie said celebrating Australian farmers and the provenance of quality local food is the inspiration for her project. “My ever-constant goal is to support and celebrate Australian farmers by encouraging consumers to seek out their produce as directly as possible, then cook and share it!�

Western Australian finalist and seed producer, Kalyn Fletcher, was named national runner-up and will use her $10,000 bursary to pursue her passion to expand tropical agriculture in Australia’s north. Kalyn will undertake a study tour of the Cerrado Region of Brazil where she will learn from South America’s highly successful tropical agriculture industry and bring new ideas and practices home to the Kimberley’s Ord River region.

Kalyn says the knowledge and insights she gains from her tour will be shared with producers in her region to promote and help grow the success of the industry. “Tropical agriculture is an industry

Australia should be excited about. We are Mr Harvey also congratulates Kalyn achieving amazing things up here in the on being the national runner-up of this North, the opportunities are endless,� she prestigious Award. said. “Kalyn’s aspiration to further the expansion of northern Australia is exciting.

She has the passion, drive and determination to make a difference in her region and to the wider Australian tropical agriculture industry. Kalyn should be commended not just for what she has already done for rural Australia, but for her leadership potential in the future.� Sophie, Kalyn and each of our deserving 2016 state finalists will join an esteemed alumnae of more than 200 women

RIRDC Managing Director, John Harvey congratulates Sophie on winning the national Award and said her desire to support farmers to use social media to capture their stories is an example of rural leadership at its best. “Sophie will be a brilliant ambassador for the RIRDC Rural Women’s Award.

She has the talent to create real change through influencing the conversation around educating consumers on where their food comes from and to buy local. This is a really positive message that will benefit our farmers and the broader food industry.

Sophie’s passion is contagious,� he said.

The recognition the Award brings is important as it provides women with a strong platform to bring about innovative change and help in continuing to build resilient rural, regional and remote communities.

Ram team records unlock the secrets to better breeding

Keeping accurate records of his ram teams has allowed South Gippsland second-cross lamb producer Paul O’Sullivan to benchmark his business against industry averages and to refine his genetic selections to take flock productivity to the next level.

Mr O’Sullivan was impressed by the benchmarking capabilities of the new RamSelect Plus app when it was launched at LambEx by the Cooperative Research Centre for Sheep Industry Innovation (Sheep CRC), and promptly took the opportunity to find out where his flock stood and how it could be improved.

The web-based app is available on laptop, mobile and tablet at www. ramselect.com.au, and allows sheep breeders to search the ram market for animals that carry genetic traits important to the user’s business. A recent upgrade to the app included new functionality to allow users to benchmark their ram teams and new ram selections against industry averages and track the impact of their rams over time.

“Having more objective data that we can collect and use in making decisions is just fantastic,” Mr O’Sullivan said. “All I had to do was provide the ram tag numbers for our ram teams from the last five years, and the Australian Sheep Breeding Values (ASBVs) used to do the benchmarking were then drawn automatically from Sheep Genetics.”

Mr O’Sullivan and wife Jenny run a 680-hectare mixed cattle and sheep breeding operation at Tarwin Lower in Victoria’s high-rainfall South Gippsland region. They join 2300 first-cross ewes each year for lambing in August, turning off 3000plus lambs in January and February targeting the market specifications for supply to Coles.

The benchmarking exercise revealed that the rams Mr O’Sullivan had been purchasing were slightly above industry average for growth rate and birth weight, but not quite as good they wanted for shear force (tenderness).

“We have put a lot of emphasis on grazing strategies to maximise the growth of our lambs, but the benchmarking analysis has showed us that there is also plenty of potential there for us to increase the genetic capacity of our rams as another option for further improving the growth rates of our lambs,” he said.

“We’re in the situation where we’re paid on weight and fat cover so those traits have been the key things we have been targeting, but as an industry we need to be paying more attention to eating quality as well, so now we are looking for rams that deliver on growth, fat and tenderness.”

The advent of RamSelect was timely for the O’Sullivans after their long-term ram supplier dispersed earlier this year, prompting a rethink of their ram buying strategy.

“I had been dealing with a ram breeder in North East Victoria who I trusted to select the rights rams

to meet our specifications – we provided him with a price range and our target market and he would present us with 12-15 rams that we would visually inspect before selecting the team we wanted,” Mr O’Sullivan said.

“But now that we’re looking for a new ram breeder and we’ve got a better understanding of the rams we’ve been using, we’ve taken the step of developing our own customised breeding objective to use on RamSelect to identify the rams we need to take us to the next level.”

The exercise also prompted Mr O’Sullivan to rethink the price he is willing to pay for rams in order to take his flock to the next level.

“I’ve always had a bit of reluctance to paying too much for rams but this exercise has probably crystallised for me that if we are going to take the next step up in terms of genetic gain, then I’m going to have to spend more than we have been in the past,” he said.

Mr O’Sullivan has since used the app to develop two lists of rams available from within Victoria – one using his customised breeding objective and another using the Carcase Plus Index settings on RamSelect for comparison.

“The selection criteria on RamSelect are really good in terms of being able to target your search by breed and location for rams with the specs you’re looking for. I’ve now made contact with a ram breeder and I’m looking forward to visually inspecting those rams that meet my criteria,” Mr O’Sullivan said.

The O’Sullivans also operate a small agri-tourism venture aimed primarily at improving consumer awareness of agricultural practices and the use of technology like RamSelect to improve eating quality will add another string to that bow, Mr O’Sullivan said.

“It’s an important aspect of our activities to get the message out there that farming is a good, progressive industry to be part of,” he said.

The Sheep CRC operates as part of the Federal Department of Industry, Innovation and Science’s CRC program.

It is a collaboration of over 40 organisations from across industry, government and the commercial sector, and includes producer groups, farm advisers, universities and research organisations, meat processors and retailers.

It developed the web-based app in conjunction with Telstra, NSW DPI, and Pivotal Labs, and is underpinned by objective data from Sheep Genetics in the form of Australian Sheep Breeding Values (ASBVs) from MERINOSELECT, LAMBPLAN and DOHNE. The recent upgrade to RamSelect was implemented by the CRC’s new app development team based at UNE. More information is available at www.sheepcrc.org.au.

Wanted: rural safety champion A champion of good health and safety for farmers is being sought by the Primary Industries Health and Safety Partnership (PIHSP), with expressions of interest now being called for the position of Independent Chair.

The Partnership aims to improve the health and safety of workers and their families in farming industries across Australia through investment in research, development and extension activities. It is funded by the Cotton, Grains and Rural Industries Research and Development Corporations, as well as the Australian Meat Processor Corporation and Meat & Livestock Australia.

The activities of the Partnership are guided by a Management Committee comprised of representatives of the investing partner organisations and an Independent Chair. Outgoing Independent Chair, Gordon Gregory, said the position provides a unique opportunity for someone who is passionate about improving health and safety outcomes in the agricultural sector.

“With the Partnership’s focus on practical tools

and outcomes for farmers, there is an opportunity to lead tangible and lasting changes in the attitude and approach of primary producers to health and safety that can in turn save lives” he said.

Mr Gregory said that despite improvements over the past two decades, there are still unacceptably high rates of death and injury on Australian farms.

The greatest risks are associated with quad bikes, tractors, other farm vehicles, unguarded machinery, hazardous manual tasks, animal handling and mustering.

“In much of our agriculture the safety challenge is compounded by the fact that there is no clear distinction between workplace and home. This can result in serious risks for children, friends and visitors,” he said.

Mr Gregory is encouraging interested individuals to nominate for the Independent Chair’s position.

Applications for the position of Independent Chair close on October 7. For more information about the position and application process, visit www.rirdc. gov.au/docs/pihsp/PD.pdf

Nuffield Scholarship winners The diversity of agriculture in NSW is reflected in the variety of farmers awarded Nuffield Australia Farming Scholarships for 2017. Scholars come from rice, poultry, cotton, beef, sheep and broadacre cropping enterprises.

The scholarships were announced at this week’s Nuffield Australia National Conference, in Adelaide, where over 300 delegates from primary industries have congregated to learn about the latest agricultural research findings.

NSW Nuffield Chairman David Gooden, himself a Nuffield Scholar of 2010, said with so much variety within the research topics of the NSW Scholars, they’ll be presenting a very diverse range of findings upon return from their global study tours.

“After returning from global study tours, Mark

Hans Oversnow

Groat, Jessica Pitkin, Claire Osborn Booth, Daniel Kahl, Stuart Tait and Felicity McLeod will share their diverse and insightful findings with other producers and stakeholders in their respective industries and communities,” Mr Gooden said.

“Using this model, Nuffield Australia continues to build capacity for the nation’s food and fibre industries to be world-leaders in the adoption of the latest and most effective technology, best practice and innovation.

“NSW has maintained strong participation in Nuffield, and these six Scholars join our group of over 70 NSW Scholars, who, by providing insights into world-wide agricultural production systems are benefiting our respective industries and communities”.

A keen group of locals gathered at the Murdoch’s “Undowah� property in Bibbenluke last Friday to learn more about the causes of lamb death and how to maximise lamb survival.

The Lamb Survival Workshop was presented by Sheep Connect NSW, with local presenters taking participants through the hands-on session.

Doug Alcock of Graz Prophet Consulting, and Local Land Service District Veterinarian, Petrea Wait focused on managing ewe nutrition to maximise lamb survival, matching feed supply and demand, and optimising mob size for lambing.

There was also an opportunity for the group to observe lamb post mortems.

The aim of the workshop was for producers to better understand and manage breeding ewes for optimum productive output; improve lamb survival by better managing ewes up to and throughout lambing; learn how to determine causes of lamb mortality; and plan a feeding program to improve

lamb survival on their own farms.

All gave positive feedback for the workshop, with Sheep Connect reminding local producers that it is a key network of “all things sheep�. “We keep our members up to date with what is happening in the industry,� a spokesperson said. “Sheep Connect NSW is a significant investment

by Australian Wool Innovation in keeping quality information reaching your fingertips when you need it.�

Key focus areas for Sheep Connect are breeding ewe management; lamb survival; measuring, monitoring and making change through improvement; and working closely with industry groups.

Kunuma bulls sell to $8000 in quiet spring sale Kunuma Angus held its 34th Annual Spring bull sale on property last Friday.

Local buyers were in attendance competing against buyers from the South Coast, Riverina and South Gippsland .

The sale topped at $8000 for an average of $5700.

The top priced bull was bought by volume buyer Elm Valley Pastoral Leongatha for Lot 9 Kunuma Kurt K119 who weighed in at 910kg and formed part of a team of seven bulls secured by the South Gippland buyers.

John Western, owner of Elm Valley Pastoral said

“I have been purchasing the Kunuma Bulls for the last six years to put over our 500 cows, Monaro cattle definitely suit our operation”.

Local buyers were Kelvin Ingram who secured lot 5 Kunuma Double Vision who had a birthweight of +4.7 and a 600 day weight of +113 , Ernie Constance purchased Lot 21 for $7000 and Hamish Jardine “Curry Flat” purchased two bulls .

This sale was the second 2016 Spring sale for Kunuma Angus, as the stud also had a successful sale two weeks earlier in Sale, Victoria where spirited bidding from many repeat buyers achieved a 100 percent clearance.

8 Fachin Ave, Cooma | Ph: 6452 3588

The Sauternes region is to be explored today, they say it is like a big square and they tried to drive us all around the border. We visited Chateaux Myrat and sampled two vintages of their sauterne - 2012 and 2009, priced at 65-85 euros a bottle. The winery has 28,000 vines and employs 40 pickers to harvest 22 hectares. The grapes are picked almost as they are rotting on the vines so continual hand picking is going on for weeks. As a comparison red and white wine can produce a bottle of wine and the same quantity will only produce a glass for sauterne. We saw a pruner going along vines, it appears that they are more interested in quality than quantity.

The town of Langon is passed through before we re-enter the motorway. This town makes a lot of pieces for the A380, for example wings and fuselage. They are transported by road, during the dead of night, to Bordeaux where they are put on barges and sent up river to Toulos where the planes are assembled. We actually see a barge with a wing on going under the bridge. It is like seeing the wind farm blades being transported, one blade, one truck, in this case one wing, one barge.

Mid afternoon we head off upriver to pass under the Pont de Pierre Bridge, this is the one built in 1820. With the water levels at present you can only pass under at low tide and a pilot has to come on board.

We are now sailing the River Garoone to Cadillac and on arrival a group of horn blowers come on board to play for us.

Along the river bank are numerous little fishing huts, on stilts, out into the river. Some have nets to throw out.

There are times when we are off the spaceship and the staff are cleaning and polishing away.

Even working their way around the vessel by â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tinnieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cleaning the windows of the cabins.

Tuesday arrives and we are off to walk through the medieval village of Saint Macaire, narrow streets, old buildings and history galore.

Many others went to the Roquetaillade Castle and thoroughly enjoyed this visit.

We are told today that if the town/city name ends in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;acâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; then it was occupied by the Romans. Talking about the Romans they would have built the wharf we have been tied up at and what an incredible job they have done. One wonders when you see the variation in the water level how they managed the rock work.

We have now returned to Bordeaux, once again passing under the Pont de Pierre Bridge. Tonight the wine festival is on and then there are three days of their annual music festival, could be busy onshore tonight. But once again we experience a scenic wonder when we just cruise around the port area while being entertained.

Another cruise show and I was laughing so much most of the photos are blurred!

One of the last tours is to Arcachon with many going to the oyster farm at Guijan-Mestras and enjoying three very small oysters, hardly enough to get a taste. Others went to the Dune de Pylat. This would have been one of the hottest days of the tour so everyone came back hot and bothered.

A BBQ lunch on board and then a walk through The 17th Century Citadel of Blaye.

The Citadel of Blaye is one of the finest examples of 17th century military architecture. Started in 1652 by Pagan, it was extended, strengthened and completed by Vauban between 1685 and 1689. Designed to protect the port of Bordeaux, this complex seals off the Gironde at Blaye. On the right bank, it consists of a citadel comprising three successive fronts with orilloned bastions, a demilune and covered walkway, all of which are typical of Vaubanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second system. On the Gironde side, a wall and batteries overlook a cliff that overhangs the river at a height of 45 metres. However, the range of artillery at the time was not capable of totally preventing ships from passing. Vauban therefore designed two other forts which allowed artillery cross-fire and the control of the Gironde.

It is amazing the stone and brick work here most of which is still standing today. The buildings

took four years to build with 2,000 workers.

Approximately 2,400 soldiers were housed with no civilians allowed. During this time the soldiers shared the beds sleeping when â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;off dutyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The Citadel was occupied until 1914.

Today there are five inhabitants and you can rent a property for approximately 500 euros per year. However you are then responsible for all maintenance and a new roof may cost up to 15,000 euros to repair.

The captain and engineer have just given a talk on the intricacies of sailing and navigating the river system here and details on the spaceship. The tidal currents can go 100 kms inland and in unique circumstances can just appear as a giant wave (up to 1.2m) which many are known to surf on. Different colours appear in the river, very apparent from above, and this is the mixing of salt and fresh water.

Up to 8cms of silt is carried in and out with the tides and is mostly in suspension in the middle of the water. Did I mention before about the dredge that works 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks of the year, keeping the channel clear for vessels.

The silt that is dredged is then placed on the side of the river where the depth is not required. A pilot is required to be on board at all times owing to the continual changes that occur in the system.

Friday is our last day on board and our final tour was the Cognac Region. We visited the Remy Martin distillery where 95% of the cognac is exported, mostly to the USA and China.

The property is 28 hectares and only produces four per cent of the grape requirements the rest being purchased from surrounding wineries.

The buildings are almost black, caused by a fungus produced by the seepage from the kegs.

The torula or angelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share is three per cent of the produce or 6,000 casks.

Security and secrecy is paramount here.

Of course the blending recipe is secret, the number of casks is secret, when a special blend is going to be released is secret etc.

The bottles may have up to 1,000 different blends ranging from 40100 years old. It took 11 crystal makers to make the decanters for Lois 13th Cognac, price approximately 2,800 euros. We were given two samples of cognac, one with an ice cube. Our lovely guide told us that you drank Cognac to suit yourself.

Porte St. Martin is an old town dating back to the 17th Century, three storey buildings with timber through the stone work, cobble stone roads that are very hard to walk on.

Back to the Scenic Diamond for our last meal, say goodbye to new friends, pack our bags and get a bit of sleep before our early start. The queue for customs at Bordeaux Airport was unbelievable. I think it took us over an hour to get through. From memory there were nine counters but I think only four had staff. They claim it was due to lack of pay, seems strange when so many people are flying and we all pay airport fees. We eventually get through and join our first flight to Paris then we wait again for the flight to Singapore for our three night stop over.

After a day touring around Singapore we walked to the Clarke Quay for dinner and the first airconditioned place we came to was Hooters so there we ate. We joined a river cruise which was lovely seeing all the buildings with lights on and bridges with coloured lights.

Tuesday we enjoyed the Singapore Flyer with magnificent views over Singapore and the bay area with hundreds of freight vessels. Tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dinner was local cuisine starting off with Peking duck. I must say this restaurant changed my thoughts on Peking duck it was exceptional.

And then we wait again, this time for an evening flight home. John and I are anxious to get home as Nicole has just had a baby girl and of course we would like to see our new granddaughter. Not many slept on the flight home, we changed to an earlier bus to Canberra and then we have our first nurse.

Then it is Home Sweet Home and look forward to the next adventure away.

Skid training comes to Bombala Screeching tyres could be heard in Bombala last Wednesday as local Year 12 students took turns driving a specially designed “skid car” as part of the Snowy Hydro Young Driver Training program.

The initiative has been running in various formats since 2002 and over time has seen over 1000 young drivers from the Snowy Mountains region participate.

This year the Bombala High School was a new addition to the important program, which is an initiative between the Snowy Monaro Regional Council and Snowy Hydro.

“I have been in regular contact with the Bombala Local Representative Committee and we have been looking for activities to implement in and around Bombala,” Snowy Monaro Regional Council Administrator, Dean Lynch said.

“Through my strong relationship with Snowy Hydro we figured out a way to work together to implement this important driver training.”

Heath Woolley, Manager Community Relations at Snowy Hydro was pleased to see the program expanded into Bombala.

“It’s fantastic that Snowy Hydro are able to deliver a program that directly benefits the youth in Bombala’s community,” he said.

The partnership delivers the driver training

at no cost to the students or the school and was run by local instructor, Craig Williams, owner operator of the Snowy Mountains Driving School.

The program, which is aimed at Year 12 students who are mainly on their red ‘P’ plates, focuses on the unique road conditions of the Snowy Mountains and includes both theory and practical sessions designed to improve the attitude and driving behaviours of young people in our local community.

The skid car used in the practical sessions is a Subaru Forester with a custom designed skid frame which allows students, under direction and control of an expert driver trainer, to experience what causes a car to lose control in a simulated skid situation demonstrating that you cannot correct a skid in real life circumstances and driving environments.

The success of the Bombala Young Driver Training Program is a direct result of Snowy Hydro’s partnership with the Snowy Monaro Regional Council and local schools, and this high quality, professionally run program provides a tremendous outcome, not only for participants and their families, but also for the entire community.

Instructor, Craig Williams with the Bombala High School’s Joey Reed, Mozes Olsen, Alex Rosten and Adam Rodwell and the Snowy Hydro Young Driver Training program’s “skid car”.

The skid car in action in Bombala last Wednesday.

Boxes of goodies bring smiles in Operation Christmas Child The year is once again getting away on us, and if you’re planning on taking part in charity project, Operation Christmas Child, then it’s well and truly time to get started!

Operation Christmas Child has always been well supported within the Bombala district in

particular, but everyone across the wider Snowy Monaro region is encouraged to get involved in 2016.

The Samaritan’s Purse initiative is coordinated in Bombala by the local churches, and sees kind participants filling specially provided shoe boxes with little gifts and

treats for less fortunate children at Christmas time.

The boxes come with pamphlets outlining appropriate gifts with which to fill them, with items such as soft toys, yo-yos, pencils, sunglasses and combs all on the list of treats.

Sticking to the pamphlet guidelines, participants can fill their boxes with the small gifts of their choice, and then

simply pay a fee of $9 to get each box to its destination by Christmas time.

These destinations span right across the globe, with the boxes bringing joy and hope to children effected by poverty, war and natural disasters alike.

The gifts themselves need not be expensive, just appropriate to the child’s age group and gender

which you mark on the box, so almost anyone can take part in this rewarding and fun charity activity.

Sadly, it seems there was a drop in participation last year, so we encourage everyone to organise a box - or boxes - by contacting Glad Hurley on 6458 3316.

You only have until late October to fill your boxes and get them in, so you better get started today!

New investors may benefit from ‘depreciation’ education Australia’s recent property boom has seen an influx of new investors into the market and BMT Tax Depreciation believes that many in this group may not be aware of the legitimate depreciation deductions that can be found in an average investment property and therefore could be missing out on claiming thousands of dollars in tax savings.

It is possible for investors to claim tax deductions for the structure of the building and specific assets found within an income producing property as they depreciate in value over time due to wear and tear, or ageing.

The Chief Executive Officer of BMT Tax Depreciation, Bradley Beer, believes that property investors may be surprised to learn of the types of items and amounts that can be claimed in tax deductions for an average two-bedroom apartment or typical house.

“An investor who has purchased a new two-bedroom apartment may be able to claim tax deductions for assets such as carpet, hot water systems and kitchen appliances,” said Bradley Beer. “$6,230 of carpet will attract a depreciation deduction of $1,246 in the first financial year, while the entire value of the carpet can be depreciated and claimed over its full effective life of ten years.

“Similarly, a $1,800 hot water system will result in a $300 depreciation deduction in the first financial year, while a $1,500

refrigerator can see the investor claim $250 in the first full financial year,” said Bradley Beer.

“Income producing apartments may also attract strata deductions for common areas, which are often overlooked and can hold very valuable savings for property investors.

“There is a misconception that because an apartment was only recently purchased that tax depreciation isn’t applicable but that typically isn’t the case and new investors would be prudent to speak to a qualified quality surveyor or accountant about unlocking the hidden tax savings of their new investment property,” said Bradley Beer.

CoreLogic reports that investors currently account for 46.6 per cent of new mortgage lending and investor owned dwellings account for 27 per cent of all housing stock, to a value of around $1.37 trillion.

Investors who have purchased an average house are also entitled to deductions for assets such as air conditioning systems or appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines.

For a $3,500 split system air conditioner, an investor could claim $700 in depreciation deductions in the first full year, while the asset’s full value can be claimed over its effective life of ten years. A washing machine valued at $860 will result in a first financial year deduction of $161 and a $1,610 dishwasher would result in a $322

deduction in the first financial year for its owner.

“There is a wealth of first year tax deductions available in the backyards of many houses, including swimming pools, garden sheds, watering systems and even garden gnomes,” said Bradley Beer.

“Generally speaking, if there are items in your house that are subject to wear and tear over time, the chances are that you can legitimately claim a tax deduction for them.

“Buying an investment property can often be a challenging period and once settlement takes place, it’s normal for a new investor to let the property manager take over and to view the investment more passively,” said Bradley Beer.

“However, by continuing to be proactive with your new investment you can structure the asset in such a way with your advisors that it is generating maximum cash flow for your portfolio.

“Tax depreciation is a component of this process and quantity surveyors like BMT are expert at finding all legitimate tax savings and won’t charge for their services unless they find double the amount of deductions then the cost of the tax depreciation schedule,” said Bradley Beer.

Investors who are unsure whether they are claiming the maximum depreciation deductions available to them can visit the BMT Tax Depreciation website and request a free depreciation estimate.

THE MONARO PROPERTY MUSTER Wednesday September 21, 2016

FOR SALE

“Mirrabooka” – A show piece of success

“Mirrabooka” is a created “dream” of Athalie Calvo and the late Peter Calvo.

Their love of the Snowy Mountains led them to buy a very scenic 440 acres on Varneys Range, near Berridale.

From many vantage points on the property, there are breathtaking views over the ever changing Monaro Plains.

Part of the Calvo’s “dream” was to establish a large “lodge styled” home that was absorbed by the landscape and took advantage of the majestic outlook.

High on one of the hills they brought this dream alive. A six bedroom, three bathroom, 2 storey open plan home with a commanding stone fireplace is beautifully appointed on the property to allow you to absorb the natural surroundings.

A separate, quaint gallery or studio offers the same attributes as the

house.

At a lower level, a 3 bedroom brick home with high ceilings offers a retreat for friends, relatives, guests or clients.

Other buildings include a 3 bay shed, a second machinery shed.

Some of the special features include many dams, walking trails, abundant native wildlife, an elaborate watering system.

“Mirrabooka” is perfect as a skiers retreat, a B & B operation, a wellness hideaway or a family property where many leisure activities can be pursued.

APRA will naturally be watching this closely given the evidence of further price increases in most locations across Australia.

“Housing finance data is a good indicator of where the market is headed, but it’s important that APRA and the RBA look closely at the data and really understand where the heat is coming from.

“For example, if the number of borrowing commitments from investors for established dwellings has increased significantly, more may be needed to calm investor activity. On the other hand, if finance for new builds has increased, market intervention may not be necessary, because of the lag time in which the data flows through. In other words, if construction approvals are slowing then lending data will soften over time. It’s a fine line our regulators are treating between slowing demand versus jobs and economic growth, short to medium term.”

new members.

The annual championships for the trophies was played on Sunday September 18 at the Cooma Ex Services Club. There were 42 players present, the day was very successful and thoroughly enjoyed by all. The director was Bruce Crossman

from Canberra.

The winners of the Mitchell Trophy were Margot and Peter Brennan and the Herbert Mitchell Achievement Trophy was won by Fiona and Mark Cooper. Congratulations to all the winners.

Students blast into the cricket season Monaro school students got their first taste of cricket for the season with the Milo T20 Blast Gala Day proving a hit.

Around 150 students from Cooma Public School, St Patrick’s Parish School, Jerangle and Berridale Public Schools took to Nijong Oval for a number of matches on Thursday, September 15.

Boys and girls from Years 3-6 bowled and hit their way through the gala day with the occasion hoped to encourage more children to take up cricket this summer.

The Monaro District Cricket Association offers a range of junior cricket options for children aged between five and 16-years-of age.

For the younger brigade, Milo in2 Cricket caters for children up to

eight-years-old, while the increasingly popular Milo T20 Blast offers soft ball cricket for children from eight to 12.

Friday afternoon hard ball cricket is back again with primary students and high school students ready for that next cricketing step.

The gala day saw Cricket ACT’s Development Manager for the ACT and South Coast, Kris Britt, in attendance to cast her eye over the budding cricketers.

Ms Britt, who has represented the Australian women’s cricket side and is the captain of the ACT Meteors, was pleased to see so many enthusiastic students at the gala day.

Cooma Milo in2 Cricket and T20 Blast launch on November 8.

Students from St Patrick’s Parish School and Cooma Public School join Cricket ACT’s Kris Britt for the T20 Blast Gala Day.

Cal keeps kids enthralled at school clinics Cooma’s young basketball talent experienced a two day coaching clinic

by Australian National Basketball League former player, coach and Hall of Famer, Cal Bruton.

Bruton also visited the local schools to teach some drills and impart some wisdom and life lessons on the young students.

Bruton started playing basketball in Brooklyn, New York and says the sport has become a tremendous vehicle for him.

He has used the fundamentals of the game to advance his education and create travel opportunities around the world.

Bruton moved from Brooklyn to Queens at seven years old after losing his father and grew up with a hard working mother who taught him the values of respect and hard work.

Bruton eventually earnt a scholarship to

Wichita State University in Kansas and tried several times to go pro in America but to no avail.

Eventually he received a call from the Brisbane Bullets in Australia and became one of the first imports in the NBL.

“I got a call from an Australian scout to come and play basketball in Brisbane Australia.

“So I decided to be the best basketball player I could be in Australia, and you know what?

Now I’m in the Hall of Fame,” he said.

While in Cooma, Bruton coached a clinic for 40 kids from 6am to 3pm. The intensive sessions involved training drills and match practise with all the kids benefitting from his wealth of knowledge.

He brought his family down and said he loves the town and plans on coming back next year for more clinics.

The basketball association would like to thank Woolworths for their support with fruit and water for the kids.

Cooma Colts Premiers in 2016 Highland Ground Spreading Under 11’s The Highland Ground Spreading Under 11’s are jubilant after being crowned Joint Premiers with Crookwell.

They played their grand final in cold wet conditions at GIO Stadium. The kids were oblivious to the conditions as they were so excited to be in a grand final and to use the Canberra Raiders dressing rooms.

The game started badly for the Colts. Crookwell kicked off and the slippery ball was knocked on by the Colts. Crookwell scored within the next three tackles, taking it to six-nil.

The Colts gathered themselves and from the tap re-start were back putting pressure on Crookwell.

Strong driving runs from Deizel Barrett and Tom Bromfield had the Colts in a handy position.

Kristian Zusak darted out from dummy half, and was pulled down half a metre short from the try line. Crookwell got the ball after six tackles, and were trying to penetrate the Colts defensive line, but the boys held firm. Crookwell’s only option was to kick over the top, but it landed in the ever-reliable hands of Maison Turner. Cooper Inskip and Jordan Williams barged forward, then a long pass over to Thomas King saw him in some space, making 20m.

Louis Mould got the ball at first receiver, dummied and then ran around some defenders to score a great try out wide, taking it to six all. Strong dominant tackles from Toby Inskip and Justin McDonald caused a mistake from Crookwell. Deizel and Jordy had more strong runs, before a long pass got to Justin, who scooted in to score. Twelve-six at the break.

The Colts kicked off in the second half with a good chase from Louie Mould, who dived on the ball.

The Colts were looking dangerous again. Talon Kelly from dummy half read the play and dived over to score, 18-six. The super subs were on! Jack McPherson, who had surgery four days prior, was rampaging onto the ball, making good metres.

Charli Wiggins was also into the hard stuff.

Crookwell scored two more tries in a short time, to level the game up. Jacory Hart pulled off a top tackle, to deny them a third try. Good lead up work from Justin and Cooper saw the Colts pressing their line again. Talon caught them napping, and scored a clever try.

The Colts were back in front, 24-18. Crookwell never lay down and came back at the Colts. They threw the ball out the back line and just beat the frantic Colts to score and locked up the game again, 24-all.

With only minutes remaining, the Colts lost two of their big forwards.

Thumper got an elbow in his throat where his tonsils used to be, and had to be replaced.

Tom Bromfield, who had a great game, copped a cork and had to be replaced as well.

Talon got the ball again, and went for a burst but was pulled down, one metre shy.

After the ‘play the ball’, the ball made its way to Louie who smashed over to score what seemed to be the winning try.

Somehow or other, the ref denied the try, because of a discrepancy from a tackle before, brought to his attention from the touch judge.

Crookwell went a penalty, started to get a roll-on and were threatening the Colts line again. Crookwell were desperately trying to get the ball out wide.

There was a loose pass, and Jack ‘Frosty’ Kleven pounced on it to save the day.

Game over, 24-all and JOINT PREMIERS! Well done to Crookwell, and more importantly, well done to all the Colts, who had only been beaten once this year. There were 15 stand out players for the Colts and they all received the Choc Award.

Talon Kelly received the Player of the Match Award and Toby Inskip received the medal. The team should be extremely proud of their outstanding achievements this year.

Congratulations on your first Premiership.

Under 15s The Cooma Colts Under 15s took to GIO Stadium against Gungahlin in the Grand Final on Sunday

under grey skies.

Gungahlin had beaten Cooma only two weeks back and it was always going to be a close one.

Cooma didn’t give much away in the opening stages with a game plan to limit the dropped balls working well.

Cooma were hitting hard in defence with Will Deane making a number of ball and all tackles.

A mistake from a kick allowed Cooma to attack Gungahlin’s line where Cassidy Taylor carried three defenders over the line with him to score his first try of the year.

Bailey Rogers converted for an early 6-0 lead. In the very next set, James Hayden pulled off the tackle of the year, belting a much bigger opponent to jolt the ball loose.

Off the scrum, Keegan Caldwell found some space and offloaded to Bailey to score. Bailey converted his own try to lead 12-0.

Strong carries from the big boys with Sean Dixon, Nick Coote and Damon Fanning all bent the line allowing Cooma to control the speed of the game.

With Cooma piling on the pressure playing mistake free, Gungahlin were showing signs of frustration.

A penalty helped Cooma down the field where three plays later, Keegan scored under the posts and the conversion put the score out to 18-0.

Remy Oldrey, Will Deane and Koby Watts all made Gungahlin’s day much harder coming in for a number of dummy half runs to charge up field.

Gungahlin had one set on Cooma’s line just before half time but the boys lifted and forced a mistake.

Cooma hit the sheds 18-0 up.

It was stressed at half time that the game could be won in the first 10 minutes.

Tyler Rees was having a superb game out of dummy half making a mountain of tackles and allowing the halves to do their job. This allowed both Jimmy and Nick Zusak to control the game, with Nick playing beyond his years getting the forwards around the park.

Both Nick and Tyler showed enormous courage during the game, both running the ball at some of the biggest players on the paddock.

Cooma let their foot off the pedal giving away some silly penalties that allowed Gungahlin to score under the posts changing the momentum. Cooma were now the team under pressure. Archie Allen did his best to wrestle that momentum back with some strong carries and rock solid defence but Gungahlin continued to lift. Damon Fanning and Sean Dixon were relentless all day taking to the Gungahlin forward pack.

Unfortunately Gungahlin scored again with 10 minutes to go, shortening the gap to 18-12. It was going to be a close last 10. The message went out asking Cooma if they wanted it more.

Darnell Bartlett playing busted, left nothing out there making some great tackles and charging into the line all day. Cooma lifted but again, some dropped balls didn’t allow us to attack and gave Gungahlin a sniff. But as they have done all year, the boys worked hard for each other and defended their line.

A fingertip grab from Remy Oldrey got Cooma the ball back but a scrum feed to Gungahlin 15m out with only 20 seconds to go was going to be the last play of the match.

Cooma aimed up and a loose ball was there to be dived on and with that, Cooma were crowned premiers!!

A well-deserved 18-12 victory.

Cooma had been the best side all year and deserved their title.

Bailey Rogers was awarded Man of the Match – but it could have gone to any one of the 14 Cooma players. Super proud of the boys all year and this ones for them!! Also congratulations to the Under 11s who were crowned joint premiers earlier on in the day! A great effort from everyone in a Cooma jumper. Big thanks also to all the parents who made the trip up to support the boys in the rain and who have done so all year. And lastly, thanks to Creedence, Rob, Paul and Michael for their work as Managers/League Safes/First Aid all year. For now..

Premiers!!!!!

Bill Elder Shield match washed out The Bill Elder Shield Day on 14th was washed out and the September round will now be played today 21st.

One group who played only four ends consisted of Mary, Mick and Renate v Mick, (was he twins) Max P and Bob with the latter leading 4/1.

It helps your reporter if family names as well as given are shown on the card.

Alby Marshall, Max Butler and Neil McGregor v Mary Boller, Ken Rees and Ron Wainwright was another four end game with Neil’s team leading 4/2. Peter Harris and Geoff Venables completed eight ends against Bob Douglass and Paul Cannell with Bob and Paul in front 8/7.

Bob Douglass and Denis Steinfort were right on target

against Ken Rees and Bob Lahy on Saturday to lead 17/11 on 13.

Unfortunately for Ken and Bob things did not improve, with Bob and Denis winning 31/17. Mick Mayhew and Richard Nichols were early leaders 14/9 against Mario Frezza and Renate Winckel after 13 ends.

Ten shots to three over six ends put Mario and Renate in front 19/18 but could not maintain the momentum in the run home with Mick and Richard winning 23/21.

Peter Harris, Cheryl Meillon and Leonie Snell ran in to an in form team in Max Butler, Dawn Russell and Mike Mannile who had a handy 15/9 lead at the half way point and continued to dominate proceedings.

Four shots to Peter, Cheryl and Leonie on the last end made the final 24/17 score in favour of Max, Dawn and Mike look a little bit better for the losers.

Rain on Sunday washed out all bowls, so here’s hoping for fine weather next weekend to allow the remaining matches in Fours and Don Jarvis Plate to be completed.

Those matches are, (skips names only) in Fours, Ignazio Mondello v Mel Storta and Mark Buckley v Geoff Venables.

In Don Jarvis Plate, Paul Cannell v John Schoon and Mike Mannile v Wayne Lodge. The winners of these matches will play the final in their respective events on Sunday 25th.

A $10 lunch will be available from 12 to 12.30 - don’t play on an empty stomach.

Southern Monaro Men of League announced at Charity Day Former footy great, Stuart Raper and a series of other keen visitors were welcomed to Bombala during a fortunate window of great weather on Saturday as they rolled up to take part in the Men of League Charity Golf Day. As NSW State Manager of the Men of League Foundation, Stuart was pleased to come along to the Bombala Golf Course and participate in the day, taking the opportunity to make a special announcement for the local branch.

Stuart revealed that the group has now

moved on from the Far South Coast branch to stand alone as the Southern Monaro Men of League.

This move to encompass Bombala, Cooma, Jindabyne and surrounds has been in the works for some time, and the local members warmly welcomed the announcement on Saturday. This was just the icing on the cake for the successful day, which saw about 30 players from the local area, Bega, Cooma and even Sydney hit the local course for a Mixed Ambrose.

Winners of the day were Bombala’s Clay Stewart, Luke Kimber, Joel Cherry and Korie Elton, while the runners up were a mixture of Delegate and Bombala golfers, Nick Flower, Graeme Payton, Kevin Elliott and Marty Black.

A few NRL items and a dressed lamb were auctioned off to raise additional funds, and six new members signed up, with all agreeing that the Charity Golf Day was a big success for the local Men of League group.

Thanks now goes to Stuart for being a part of the event; Westy for all of his hard work

organising the golf; Damien and Toni Smith for their donation to the auction; and all of those who assisted with the day in any way, including in the kitchen and behind the barbecue.

We are also told to give a special thanks to Beddo for the fun times!

The Men of League are now holding a barbecue at the Globe Hotel in Bombala this coming Saturday, September 24 from 2pm for all of those who took part in this year’s Tipping Comp. All players and their families welcome.

About 30 players gathered at the Bombala Golf Course for the Men of League Charity Golf Day on Saturday, including the Foundation’s State Manager, Stuart Raper.

Bombala’s Brian Morgan teamed up with the Men of League’s Stuart Raper for the Mixed Ambrose charity event.

John Vincent was among the local golfers supporting the charity day.

Barry Tanza of Sydney, Bombala’s Merv Douch, and Tom Hunter and Geoff Tanza of Bega hit the Bombala course.

Damien, Max and Ruby Smith called in before tee-off, with the Smith family having donated to the event’s auction.

COOMA NETBALL ASSOCIATION 2016 Monday Night Mixed & Ladies Social Competition The competition will be scheduled for Monday 10th October to Monday 19th December David Abraham of Cooma, Delegate’s Coopy Baker, Greg Abraham also of Cooma and Bombala’s Kevin Elliott enjoyed a round of golf for a good cause.

Carl Bruton Inspires Basketballers Former NBA Basketballer and coach Cal Bruton spent three days as a special guest of the Cooma Basketball Association.

Cal attended the local schools on Friday speaking to students about his life as a youngster in New York and how he came to Australia for a short stint in the NBA only to still be here over 40 years later and of becoming an Australian citizen.

His son Cal Junior went on

to also play in the NBA and to representing Australia.

On Friday evening he attended the Cooma Basketball Associations Junior and Mini Ball presentation day where he presented the players with their trophies and balls.

His son Brooklyn was on hand to assist with the presentations.

On Saturday and Sunday some 40 junior basketballers hit the stadium for a coaching clinic which

they later described as awesome.

Cal used his motto of SWAG throughout the visit telling the youngsters that the main thing to success is S- skills W- work ethics A- attitude G-gamesmanship.

This certainly stood out at the clinic where boys and girls aged 11yrs to 18yrs came together as one for everything that was thrown at them.

Congratulations to those in

attendance for the way they participated and their outstanding behavior.

The weekend ended with an Allstars side consisting of Cal Brian Geach, Fab Pielli, Betty Longhurst, Jenna Sopniewski and Rachael Schouten taking on the six groups of younger opponent.

Such was the success of the three days that Cal has agreed to return to Cooma in March.

Once again the game was marred by rain and one group decided to pull out on the 13th hole when the temperature dropped and the rain came.

When the players who completed the 18th holes finished a discussion took place and it was decided that the Championships would be reduced to the 18 Holes.

Congratulation to Betty Crawford and Dawn Douch Scratch Foursomes Champions, with the score of 107 from Gay Kennedy and Joy Douch 110.

Joy and Gay are the Handicap Champions with 77 Nett. Congratulations Girls.
