Socks is a handsome Kelpie X. He has a lovely temperament, loves people, is good with children and likes his mate Boots. Socks is an intelligent boy. He has spent most of his life at the end of a chain. We tried to re-house him but it didn’t work out as he fretted for his mate Boots. We would love for them to be re-homed together and we would offer a price reduction. These two beautiful boys deserve a second chance. They would make great pets for an active family or individual.

Over the long weekend, Cooma Lions Club members erected 72 snowmen on the roofs of business premises in Cooma and Bredbo.

This annual project has been on-going since 2006 and serves to brighten and create a seasonal atmosphere in the main streets of the two towns.

It is also a very important annual fundraiser for the Club.

The snowmen are first fabricated

and painted in the Lions Club shed and then quickly erected using a clever support system developed by Roger Toole and Shane Crowe.

Cooma Lions believe that their snowmen are completely original; they were first erected in 2006 following on from their similar annual summer project to erect Santas in December each year, which was started in 2004.

Gaol sentences for drugs Two men arrested at Bullock’s Flat carpark last August and charged with numerous drug offences, have been sentenced to gaol in the NSW District Court.

Benjamin Adam Miles and Julian Edward Abraham, have been sentenced to eight years and four and a half years gaol respectively, dating from August 27 2015.

Miles will be eligible for parole as of February 26, 2020 and Abraham from February 26, 2018.

The men were arrested on August 27, 2015 following a drug operation in the Monaro Local Area Command.

In June 2015, officers from Monaro Local Area Command commenced an investigation into the illegal supply of drugs in the alpine area.

The men were arrested by officers from Monaro, and assisted by the Tactical Operations Unit and Drug

Detection Support Group.

Police alleged the men were responsible for the supply of prohibited drugs over a period of time including a large commercial quantity of MDMA (ecstasy), a commercial quantity of cocaine, and quantity of ‘Ice’.

Superintendent Rod Smith, Commander of Monaro Local Area Command, said at the time, police focused on drug supply in the alpine area of the Snowy Mountains and involved a number of operations, and covert operations.

Charged with 90 offences A Tombong resident has pleaded guilty in Bombala Local Court to more than 90 offences relating to acquiring or disposing of stolen property.

Robert McCurley was found guilty of the offences, occurring from 2009.

He will be sentenced on August 2.

An open day held at Lake Wallace, Nimmitabel last Saturday, showed the effects of recent heavy rainfall in the area.

At one stage two weeks previously, water in the dam had to be diverted away from the dam into the McLaughlin River to save the structure from damage, Snowy Monaro Regional Council’s project manager, Keith Walker, was on hand last Saturday to explain where the dam was at.

While not the official opening day, the progress on the works impressed Nimmitabel locals with over 60 people attending despite the inclement weather. The amount of water in the dam catchment is very encouraging and the completion of the project could well see Nimmitabel free from water restrictions on a permanent basis.

The woman was airlifted to Canberra Hospital with head, chest and limb injuries, while the man with chest and back injuries was taken to hospital by ambulance. It was later announced that both were in a stable condition.

A third woman with hand injuries was also taken from the crash scene to hospital.

A former Nimmitabel resident, Eddy Roger Cernigoi has been convicted of two counts of possession of child abuse material.

Appearing in Cooma Local Court on 9 June 2016, Mr Cernigoi was sentenced to 14 months imprisonment with a non-parole period of seven months for each charge.

Police received reports on 13 July 2015 of Mr Cernigoi, 50, having possession of the material in his caravan, located at the Nimmitabel Caravan Park. Police obtained a search warrant, which was executed on 14 July 2015.

During the search, police found a USB, a portable hard drive and a computer at the premises. At the time of the search, Mr Cernigoi admitted to having child

pornographic material on the computer, which he said he had already deleted. When the portable hard drive was found, Mr Cernigoi also indicated there was some material on the device.

Between 19,346 and 22,932 picture files and 667 to 1,969 video files of child abuse material were identified on the USB and the portable hard drive.

Mr Cernigoi apparently told police that he had not viewed all of the material. He also stated that the reason he had obtained the material was due to his depression from an abusive relationship.

Appealing the conviction on the grounds of the severity of sentence, Mr Cernigoi will appear in Queanbeyan District Court on 5 September.

Students get taste of TAFE Students from five high schools across the Snowy Region will experience a ‘Taste of TAFE’ with handson activities at TAFE Illawarra Cooma today.

Year 10 to Year 12 students from local high schools will be provided with information and get to participate in a number of hands-on activities related to their personal interests, skills and selected careers.

Students will have the opportunity to find out about studying a TAFE Vocational Education and Training (TVET) course while still at school and explore mainstream courses available for 2017.

They will also have the opportunity to attend a range of interactive sessions in areas such as: Human Services (Community and Health), Business Services and Information Te c h n o l o g y , Automotive and Welding, Rural

Studies, Tourism and Hospitality, and Building and Construction David Guthrey, Manager District Operations – Southern Highlands says a focus of the day is highlighting the career pathways for students. “The Taste of TAFE experience is all about assisting students with making informed choices about their future study and career,” says Mr Guthrey.

“It’s a great way for students to find out about the wide range of courses offered by TAFE Illawarra. It’s also an opportunity for young people to see what skills can take them in a particular direction, or even what they want to study when they leave school,” he said.

Enrolments for Semester 2, 2016 at TAFE Illawarra Cooma are now open. Visit www.tafeillawarra.edu. au or call 1300 766 123 to enrol today.

Let’s dig in to help Neil Neil Cocks of Adaminaby is doing it tough.

Having been diagnosed with aggressive bladder cancer just after Christmas last year, Neil’s treatment and ailing health is taking him away from being able to care for his beloved wife. Hazel was diagnosed with dementia six years ago and has been wheelchair bound for the past four years.

Hazel has been deteriorating rapidly the past few years and is now almost unable to feed herself.

Without the help of their daughter Barbara, who has become their fulltime carer, they would both be lost.

Neil has to travel to Canberra for treatment and is booked in for three stays this month alone. His cancer has spread to his lungs.

He has been told that without treatment he

only has nine months to live and with treatment, only a few years.

All who know him consider Neil to be a very generous and hard working person.

A true Aussie battler, raising four kids, Neil has sometimes worked three jobs at a time, doing everything he could to provide for his family. He and Hazel now have 13 grandchildren and one great grandchild, whom they adore.

Hazel and Neil moved to Adaminaby 20 years ago.

Previously from the Illawarra, they wanted to buy an affordable property in a nice community.

They found their nice little Adaminaby home and couldn’t be happier with their decision.

Neil’s daughter Christine says that with their current health issues, Neil, Hazel and Barbara are really struggling

Students good deed goes viral on social media With more than 77,000 likes, 14,000 shares and 5,000 comments, a post on the Cooma North Public School Facebook page has reached 2.4 million people.

Last week, Principal Belinda Jamieson posted a photo of a group of boys helping an elderly man in Goulburn.

Visiting for a rugby match, the group were on their way home when their teacher, Laura Sky and some parents noticed an elderly gentleman moving a large pile of wood from one end of his house to the other. Without any hesitation, the boys gladly got off the bus to help, even making the chore into a game.

Mr Patrick Pelling, 81, and his family were very grateful for the help.

His daughter, Donna, arrived at her parent’s house later that day to help move the wood, only to find it had already been done.

Mrs Jamieson said the response to the Facebook post has been overwhelming. “I simply put the photo up to notify parents,� she said. “We never expected this kind of response.

We don’t usually get many hits on our Facebook page.�

The story has even been picked up by some big name media organisations. Channel nine’s Today Show, Channel Seven and news websites Mamamia, Mashable, Daily Mail and

Huffington Post UK have run stories on the young boys.

Mrs Jamieson said that the students of Cooma North Public School often display random acts of kindness such as this one. “We are a Positive Behaviour for Learning school and always promote responsibility, respectfulness and safety,� she says, “I am very proud of the boys and of all our students.�

In response to their act of kindness, the school has been offered donations from all around the country.

Mango House Resort at Airlie Beach has provided seven nights accommodation for their next raffle, the Newtown Jets will be donating football jerseys, EveryNet is donating a years worth of internet to the school, Wave Learning is sending books, calculators and reading lights, Jump Inn at Goulburn has offered the boys a free session and Rose’s Restaurant in Cooma has welcomed the boys also.

Money raised from these donations will go towards supporting the school’s swimming program and upgrading the school’s playground equipment, which is in dire need of replacement.

Bond for firearm offences Mark Graeme Fairbrother, 24, has been placed on an 18-month good behaviour bond for firing a Savage Axis .270 calibre bolt action rifle in a public place.

Fairbrother and his accomplice were shooting at foxes off the Kosciuszko Road in the national park at about 10pm on April 4. Police received reports of the shooting and approached the two as they were searching for a spot to camp.

With no firearm licence, Fairbrother faced charges of firing and possessing a firearm in a public place.

Scott Anthony Grose has been fined $880, had his driver’s licence disqualified for 10 months and been placed on a nine month good behaviour bond for a mid range PCA. Police pulled up Mr Grose in Commissioner Street, Cooma at about 8.30pm on March 12 after they noticed one of the headlights of his vehicle was blown. After returning a positive reading, police took Mr Grose for a blood analysis, which gave a result of 0.111.

Andrew James Hanson, 33, has

been sentenced to nine months of imprisonment and fined $770 for driving while disqualified. He is also up for a $440 fine for refusing to produce his driver’s licence and another $220 for his vehicle not complying with standards due to his rear tyres being bald. Mr Hanson’s behaviour towards police was allegedly aggressive.

Andrew Thaler appeared in Cooma Court last week on two charges of driving when visiting privileges were withdrawn. Pulled up by police in Nimmitabel, Mr Thaler was charged with the offence. Shortly after this incident, Mr Thaler was again charged by the same police officers on the Monaro Highway for the same offence.

He has been fined a total of $1,100 and has been disqualified from driving for three months.

Mr Thaler has also been convicted of two more of the same charges, as well as refusal to provide his drivers licence to police and a refusal to comply with requests for a breath test. He is appealing these charges and is set to appear in court again on July 7.

Former council reserve funds to be invested within community The Member for Monaro John Barilaro and Snowy Monaro Regional Council Administrator Dean Lynch have re-iterated that any pre-merger council funds in reserve will be re-invested into the community.

Mr Barilaro and Mr Lynch said any reserve funds belonging to the former Bombala Council, Cooma- Monaro Shire Council and the Snowy River Shire Council will stay within the community they originated from.

“This money belongs to the residents of the former council areas, it is therefore only fair that this money remains in their community,” said Mr Barilaro.

“Residents have paid rates in good faith; it would be unconscionable to remove these funds from the community.

“I look forward to seeing this money re-invested into vital community infrastructure projects.”

Mr Lynch said Snowy Monaro Regional Council

will ensure the funds are directed into projects within the former LGA boundaries.

“I’m aware that some in the Bombala community are concerned that this money may be channelled into other areas, however I can assure residents that all un-spent pre-merger funds will be invested into projects that your community needs. This policy is the same for other former local government areas.”

The Snowy Monaro Regional Council brings together the communities of Bombala, CoomaMonaro and Snowy River.

Fifteen million dollars will be provided by the NSW Government to the Snowy Monaro Regional Council under the Stronger Communities Fund and can be spent on new infrastructure projects and services across the region.

A further $5 million will be allocated for the transition process.

Local contests Senate

Voters at the July 2 election will have locals to consider for the lower and upper house elections.

Former Cooma woman, Janise Farrell (nee Shanley) is a Senate candidate for the Voluntary Euthanasia Party.

Her decision to run will pay tribute to her late mother, Wendy Shanley, who lost her battle with cancer in November 2013. Janise was born in Cooma and attended St Pat’s School until Year 9 when the family moved to Canberra.

Janise and her sisters Tamara and Kimberley had to watch their mother’s pain and loss of dignity as she spent her last few months firstly in hospital and later in a hospice.

Had Wendy been allowed the option, she would have preferred to have been able to die with dignity, at a time of her choosing.

Having nursed for a time after leaving school, Wendy developed a dislike and a fear, of what she saw in hospital – of people nearing the end of their life and having to endure the pain and indignity of their illness and being helpless to do anything about it.

Janise and her family are supporters of the Dying with Dignity group.

Janise said “The Voluntary Euthanasia Party aims to achieve law reform on voluntary assisted dying.

We believe if someone is dying from a terminal or incurable illness, with no hope of recovery, and is experiencing unacceptable pain or suffering, they should have the legal right to request medical assistance to end their life.

“Of course, that person would need to be mentally competent and have decision-making capacity.

“It’s not a case of simply improving palliative care.

Palliative Care Australia’s own policy statement concedes that even with optimal care, not all pain and suffering can be relieved.

“Laws to allow the terminally ill the right to choose an assisted death already exist in the US states of Oregon, Washington, Vermont,

Montana and California, and also the Canadian Provence of Quebec.

Canada is currently fine-tuning nationwide legislation. The law in Oregon has worked very well and with adequate safeguards for 20 years. There has been no evidence of a slippery slope to extend the laws to groups beyond the terminally ill, or that these laws harm society’s vulnerable, and as Andrew Denton recently said, those who choose this option are less than half of one percent of all people who die.”.

The Voluntary Euthanasia Party (VEP) is a minor political party, founded in early 2013 by Corey McCann to advocate legislative change to allow voluntary euthanasia in Australia.

By running candidates for state and federal parliaments we hope to increase attention to our cause, and intensify pressure on other Members of Parliament to support pro-choice legislation.

One of the key ideas behind the formation of the VEP was to bring together the various voluntary euthanasia groups under a single political platform. When forming the VEP, Corey McCann consulted the executive of pro-voluntary euthanasia organisations including Philip Nitschke, the founder of Exit International and Richard Mills, the President of Dying With Dignity (NSW) in 2013.

Pictured, Senate candidate for the Voluntary Euthanasia party, Janise Farrell, with her aunt and uncle, Vicki and Theo Schoo.

Eden-Monaro ballot paper Nine candidates have nominated for the seat of Eden-Monaro at the July 2 election.

Three independent candidates have nominated, as well as the Liberals, Christian Democrats, Labor, Animal Justice Party, Veterans Party and the Greens.

After the ballot draw, independent candidate Daniel Grosmaire has drawn the top spot on the ballot paper, incumbent member Peter Hendy is at number 5 and Labor candidate Mike Kelly has drawn the bottom position.

The candidates and their positions are as follows: 1. GROSMAIRE, Daniel, Independent 2. BENNETT, Ursula, Christian Democratic Party (Fred Nile Group) 3. FRIEND, Don, Veterans Party 4.

Special award for Les

Jindabyne’s Les Threlfo has been at the forefront of the Emergency Services Sector in the Monaro area for over 15 years.

He has been highly decorated by the NSW SES for his services and received numerous awards during that time. He became Local Controller of the Snowy River SES Unit in 2001 and the Unit began to grow and after 12 years had enough Members to handle Road Crash, Alpine Search and Rescue, Vertical Rescue and Storm callouts.

While serving in the NSW SES as the Local Controller, the NSW Police’s Force Marine Area Command and Marine Rescue NSW approached him to start up an inland Marine Rescue Unit to cover all the Lakes in the Alpine/Tumut areas.

It was considered by the NSW Government that a desperate need for specialised rescue in those lakes was required. Two fully equipped Rescue Vessels were delivered and Les began to recruit the members he required.

He began in May, 2011 and the Unit

now has 52 members with 30 trained and specialised in search and cold water rescue.

Les is widely acknowledged for his leadership skills and he has provided significant and outstanding contributions in the Emergency Services Sector and his knowledge in emergency and operations management is second to none.

Les has worked tirelessly for the benefit of the Community and as a full Volunteer serves the Community above and beyond the call of duty.

He has provided commitment and professionalism at the highest level and offers endless support and encouragement to Volunteers.

The Emergency Services Medal that he has received in the Queen’s Birthday Honour List is to acknowledge the endless hours he has given to the people in the C o o m a / M o n a ro Shires in their hour of need.

Well done.

Calling all Snowy Brumby supporters The Draft Wild Horse Plan of Management 2016 for Kosciuszko National Park, an area of 689,600ha, has been released and if implemented will result in the brumby population being reduced by 90 percent.

A rally in response to this plan is being held in Sydney on Tuesday August 2 to coincide with the Horse’s Birthday and the first sitting day of the NSW Parliament after the winter recess and Federal election. Supporters will be there to make it known we oppose the possible shooting of a large number of the Snowy Brumbies.

Jindabyne CWA’s huge donation

Over 90 residents from throughout the region attended community forums on loose-fill asbestos in Bombala and Cooma last week, learning more about the Government’s Voluntary Purchase and Demolition Program.

Residents of Bombala and Cooma attended community forums on loose-fill asbestos and the NSW Government’s Voluntary Purchase and Demolition Program last Wednesday and Thursday evenings.

While only a small group of five attended the forum in Bombala on Wednesday, there were 87 in attendance in Cooma on the Thursday night, with the audience engaging with the presenters and asking a number of questions.

The forums were also attended by former Councillors from each area, including Steve Goodyer in Bombala and Rogan Corbett in Cooma, as well as the Snowy Monaro Regional Council’s Noelene Whiting.

With the registration deadline for free sample testing fast approaching, it was reiterated at the forum that homeowners should participate in the program while assistance was being offered. “I urge those with homes built before 1980 to register and sign up for the program because they may be eligible for assistance if affected,� a NSW Fair Trading spokesperson said. “Homeowners only have until August 1 this year to register – that’s less than three months away – and we don’t want anyone left behind.�

Questions at the local forums related to issues such as the demolition process, while multiple

property owners wanted to know if they could register all of their properties at once.

Many also wanted to know whether there had been any properties in the Cooma-Monaro region that had tested positive for loose-fill, with the answer being that there had been none so far. “Attendees were reassured by the information they received, which helped them make the decision to register for the free sample test,� the spokesperson said.

At the Cooma forum, Mr Corbett himself also expressed how loosefill asbestos was an issue that needed to be addressed by all of the community, and encouraged homeowners to take the opportunity to register by the deadline.

A number of local real estate agents were present at both forums, and will continue in their role to encourage eligible landlords and vendors to register for the program.

Loose-fill asbestos was used as insulation in NSW homes during the 1960s and 70s and the NSW Government has determined that demolition, comprehensive site remediation and disposal are the best ways to ensure the health and safety of the NSW community.

To find out more visit www. loosefillasbestos.nsw.gov.au or call Service NSW on 13 77 88.

The Jindabyne CWA have donated $87,000 towards the refurbishment of the Jindabyne Memorial Hall kitchen. The money came from the proceeds of the sale of their old building and an agreement has been reached for the use of the Memorial Hall as their new premises.

Boco Rock donations Boco Rock wind farm representatives Mark Wiggins and on site engineer Peter Veljkovic met with Snowy Monaro Regional Council Administrator Dean Lynch at the council chambers in Cooma to present recipients of the Boco Rock Enhancement Funds with their cheques.

Administrator Lynch said he was happy to have the connection with Boco Rock and that in many instances council was also contributing funds to several projects.

Mr Wiggins praised the work of the community groups and various projects that received donations and said Boco Rock was glad to be making the contributions. “The best part of my job is getting money and squeezing it back in to the community. Keeping money in the area,� he said.

He also thanked the groups for their submissions and noted that the important connection between council and Bocco Rock.

Overall there were 15 successful recipients for othe donations with money going towards

preshools, play equipment, cooking facilities for community halls, mountain bike trails, sporting clubs and a range of other community groups. ‘There was over $430,000 worth of applications contesting for nearly $77,000 in for this year’s funding round and all were of a high standard’ said Administrator Lynch. ‘It’s pleasing that we are able to offer this funding again next year and strongly urge all that were unsuccessful this year to reapply again next year’.

Pictured are the recipients of the 2015 donations after they officially received their cheques at the Council Chambers last Friday.

Labor will give voters a say New Delegate art show on forced council mergers in Eden-Monaro In a community forum held in Cooma last week, EdenMonaro Labor candidate Mike Kelly and NSW Leader of the Opposition Luke Foley slammed NSW Premier Mike Baird on the forced amalgamations of local governments.

About 40 members of the community attended the forum to have their say on the issue and how it has impacted the local residents.

Mr Kelly made it clear that a Shorten Labor Government will stand up for communities in Eden-Monaro and give them a genuine say in how their councils are elected by allocating $20 million to conduct plebiscites on council mergers across New South Wales.

He stated that the Liberals’ plan to sack directly elected representatives and force councils to amalgamate is an assault on local communities, stripping residents of their voice and putting too great a distance between communities and their representatives. “Dozens of mayors and hundreds of councilors have been sacked by the stroke of Mr Baird’s pen,� said Mr Foley, “Those mayors and councilors received the votes of thousands of people to elect them to those positions.� “We impose trade sanctions when these sorts of things happen overseas,� said Mr Foley, describing the events as indicative of a dictatorship.

Mr Foley went on to say that Labor would set aside $20 million to enable the Australian Electoral Commission to run plebiscites across NSW at the request of councils, so that the people can decide how they want their local governments formed.

According to MR Foley, this will give the people of Eden-Monaro the power to stand up to the Baird Liberal Government, and their plan to unilaterally

dispense with democracy and force councils to merge and sack councillors.

Seven councils in Eden-Monaro were sacked by the Baird Liberal Government in May 2016, including Bombala Shire Council, Cooma-Monaro Shire Council, Palerang Council, Queanbeyan City Council, Snowy River Shire Council, Tumbarumba Shire Council, and Tumut Shire Council.

Under Labor’s plan, even those councils that have been spared amalgamation would be able to request a plebiscite to affirm community support, sending a clear message to the Liberals to keep their hands off the council. “The last time I checked, we were still a constitutional democracy,� said Mr Foley, “Labor will facilitate a process that will allow local citizens to vote on their future and we will abide by the vote of the people.�

This move is similar to the one taken by the Howard Liberal Government in 2007 when the Queensland Government amalgamated councils.

Luke Foley NSW Leader of the Opposition, Mike Kelly Eden-Monaro Labor candidate, Courtney Houssos MLC, Peter Primrose Shadow Minister for Local Government and Greg Warren Member for Campbelltown.

It’ll be all about the art this weekend in Delegate, with two great new exhibitions being opened at the Bundian Way and Borderline Galleries this coming Saturday, June 25.

The Bundian Way Gallery will be launching its ‘Daraga Bulwul Wanngaan’ (Strong Black Woman) exhibition, featuring the works of Kate Williams, Pauline Coxon-Syron, Ashweeni Mason, Tori Ella, Mary Moore, Sonya Naylor, Merryn Apma, Jacqueline Puckeridge and the Sistas Speak group from Narooma High School.

Great opportunities for Snowy Hydro trainees The 2016 Snowy Hydro trainees have made it halfway through their year and aren’t slowing down.

All seven of the trainees say that they are thoroughly enjoying the experience.

Chelsea Case is in Asset Management and Engineering, Lachlan Sturgeon is in Information Resources, Jozeph Nassar is at the IT Service Desk, Riah Swain is in Project Delivery, Grace Towning is in Corporate Affairs and Community Relations, Nakiya Nuridin is in Safety, People and Services and Emma Fogarty is in Information Control Systems (ICS) Administration.

All the trainees are from Cooma, except for Nakiya who is from Jindabyne. Community Relations Manager Heath Woolley says that the trainee program is one of the ways that Snowy Hydro connects with the community.

“The program involves the students going

to TAFE every Tuesday to obtain a certificate three and four in Business Administration,” he says, “Besides this qualification, it also provides them with the opportunity to experience work life before going to university, making it a good stepping stone.”

Looking to broaden their horizons, the trainees say that they applied for the opportunity to get some valuable work experience to open doors for their future.

“The business admin qualification is a good back up to have going into university,” says Nakiya.

Grace spends most of her time in the Snowy Hydro Discovery Centre and says she is enjoying learning a wide range of skills.

“Being in the Discovery

Centre, I have been able to learn some customer service skills and have also learnt barista skills at the café,” she says, “These will be very handy for getting jobs to put me through university in Sydney next year.”

Jozeph says in his role on the IT Service Desk, he is enjoying the challenge of facing a range of problems on a daily basis.

“Every call we receive involves a different problem and we need to be able to deal with

it on the spot,” he says, “I did a certificate two in IT at school and I am enjoying being able to use that in a work environment.”

All the trainees agreed that they would recommend the program to all school leavers.

Pictured: Chelsea Case, Nakiya Nuridin, Grace Towning, Riah Swain, Jozeph Nassar and Lachlan Sturgeon.

Celebrate Naidoc week across the Snowy Monaro NAIDOC Week celebrations will kick off early this year, with a Welcome to Country performed by a Ngarigo elder, and the opening of an Aboriginal art exhibition at the Snowy Region Visitor Centre in Jindabyne.

A variety of Ngarigo, Yuin, and other Aboriginal artists will display their works. Children from across the region will also contribute contemporary Aboriginal artwork, and have completed colouring sheets designed by Ngarigo woman Sally Lavallee for this event.

“The Welcome to Country is scheduled for 11m on Friday June 24 at the gallery in the Snowy Region Visitor Information Centre. Members of the public are encouraged to attend”, encouraged Snowy Monaro Regional Cwouncil Administrator, Dean Lynch.

Celebrations of our nation’s Indigenous peoples will continue from 11am to 2pm on Wednesday July 6 with a family day at The Hub Youth Centre in Cooma. There will be lots of healthy food, crafts and activities, face painting, and service provider information. The annual event celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families. Please contact the Hub on 6452 5534 for more information.

Additional opportunities to

celebrate Indigenous Australians include an ongoing exhibition at the Bundian Way Gallery in Delegate, and annual Indigenous arts exhibition at the Raglan Gallery in Cooma (dates TBD). The Bundian Way Gallery is opened Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 10am – 3:30pm, and Saturdays from 9am – 2pm.

Mr Lynch went on to explain, “NAIDOC Week is an opportunity to honour the culture, history, and contributions of Australia’s many Indigenous peoples, and to celebrate the oldest continuous culture on earth. Residents are encouraged to learn more about local Indigenous history and culture during this time by attending events or visiting a chapter of the Monaro Regional Library. The National Museum of Australia is also an excellent resource and a fun day out for the whole family”.

2016 NAIDOC activities in the Snowy Monaro Region are brought to you by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, South East Arts, the YMCA, Grand Pacific Health, Southern Cross Community Housing, Raglan Gallery, the Bundian Way Gallery Arts and Community Centre, the Delegate Progress Association, Aboriginal Affairs and your Snowy Monaro Regional Council.

A re-elected Turnbull Government will help community groups in EdenMonaro to lower their power bills and play their part in reducing Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emissions by providing $100,000 towards the cost of installing solar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Solar Communities program will provide funding for groups across Australia to install rooftop solar PV, solar hot water and battery storage systems for community owned buildings,â&#x20AC;? Dr Hendy said.

Snowy Monaro Regional Council will receive $15,000 to assist with the cost of installing solar on Berridaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Snowy River Hostel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hostel facilitates resident access to community groups and hosts regular visits from groups such as the Country Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association and the Red Cross,â&#x20AC;? Dr Hendy said.

The Coalition recognises the important role community and household solar plays in Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transition to a low emissions economy with an increase in renewable energy.

Other community groups that will receive grants in Eden-Monaro include: Queanbeyan Childrens Special Needs Group - Treehouse ($15,000) Bungendore Showground Trust ($15,000) Queanbeyan Bowling Club ($15,000) Eurobodalla Shire Council â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dalmeny community Hall ($15,000) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Around 350 community groups are

expected to benefit from the expanded program, with $5 million available.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unlike Labor, the Coalition is committed to tackling climate change without hiking up power bills for community groups, families and businesses and putting Australian jobs at risk,â&#x20AC;? Dr Hendy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bill Shortenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carbon tax is a tax on electricity and will hurt community groups across Australia.â&#x20AC;?

By contrast, the Coalition is committed to supporting community groups with our expanded Solar Communities program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under the Turnbull Government, half a million households and businesses have already made the switch to solar,â&#x20AC;? Minister Hunt said.

Australia has the highest proportion of households with solar panels in the world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about 15 per cent.

The Australian Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Renewable Energy Target provides for an average rebate for a solar system of $3000, or about 30 per cent of the installation cost. â&#x20AC;&#x153; We have established a $1 billion Clean Energy Innovation Fund to support the latest technology which will transform our renewable energy use over the coming decade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only the Coalition is committed to tackling climate change without a jobdestroying carbon taxâ&#x20AC;?, Dr Hendy said.

Ladies Probus turning trash to treasure The Cooma Ladies Probus Club enjoyed an interesting visit to the Cooma Landfill last week.

First taking a look through the Scrapmart shop, some of the ladies found some very interesting outfits and useful items to purchase.

Before lunch, they were then escorted by Rex Freebody to take a look at what he calls ‘his baby’.

Coompost is an innovative project by the Cooma Resource and Waste Services that has scored them five different awards and lots of interest from other councils.

The ladies learnt all about the process of collecting the garden waste and food scraps from our green-lidded bins and combining it with waste collected from the Monbeef cattle yards to create a quality compost product. The waste is piled into rows and left for four weeks, during which time it will break down to half the original volume.

Then screened to take out larger pieces, is cooked for another three to four weeks, constantly being turned and sprayed with water by a purpose built tractor. Each has to ‘cook’ at 70 to 80 degrees and is sprayed with 5000 litres of water.

“If you put your hand into the pile without a

glove, it would burn you,” Mr Freebody said.

On their way down to the Coompost site, one of the ladies noticed a fire smouldering at the back of the tip. Mr Freebody informed them that it was the remains of a fire used to burn all the drugs that the police had collected over the region from the last six months. The police, all in accordance with the Enivronment Protection Authority (EPA) regulations, do these burns twice a year at Cooma Landfill.

Wonderful experience as Rotary Exchange delegate Jasmin Statham-Smith Year 10 St Patrick’s student, Jasmin Statham-Smith was recently selected as part of the Australian Delegation to attend the 2016 Rotarian International Convention from May 28 - 2 June 2 in Seoul, South Korea.

Sixteen secondary students from Years 7 to 12 from NSW (South Eastern and Inland Regions and ACT) were selected to attend this convention.

Jasmin said of her experience: “I was offered the amazing opportunity to go to Seoul, South Korea for the 2016 Rotary International Convention in Term 1. The idea of traveling to a new country that had amazing amounts of culture and history and getting to meet countless other Rotarians, Rotaractors and Interactors from around the world would be an eye opening experience.

“I left Australia on May 25, had a stop over at Hong Kong and then arrived at Incheon International Airport on the 26th. At the Hostel we stayed at (Hi Seoul Youth Hostel) we met a large group of Rotaractors that were in Seoul for the convention but also for the Young Leaders Summit.

“The opening ceremony for the Rotary International Convention began with a flag ceremony and during the week we listened to the now past RI President, K.R. Ravindran, the President of Sri Lanka, John Hewko RI General Secretary, Gary Knell, Mahatria Ra, Dr. Rebecca Martin, Michael k. McGovern, Rosie Batty just to name a few.

“Listening to these inspirational people made me realize how much Rotary does that you don’t see, for example I didn’t know what ShelterBox was until I went to the convention.

“I personally thought that Polio was eradicated until I found out that only two countries have a few cases left, and how Rotary has helped exterminate this disease.

“One activity that my fellow Interactors and I enjoyed was exchanging our badges. We were given a handful each to exchange for another or to give out, I received badges from Germany, Southern France, New Zealand, Japan, India, Korea and many more.

“We also had to do a little performance in front of a crowd, we had two inflatable kangaroos which became a hit.

“From a past convention, our district met an Interact group from California USA, and we got to meet them again in Korea. It was amazing to talk to an overseas Interact group. One of the tours that we were able to do was at the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) which was the 2km

separating us from the border between North and South Korea.

“The tour guide explained some history about how North Korea tried to get past the border by building four tunnels near the main city, Seoul.

“We were able to take a selfie with a very nice Korean solider and we also got to walk down a 350m tunnel to where they found evidence of North Korea building a tunnel.

“We also got to see PSY perform and it was mind-blowing. I had an absolutely amazing time with my mentors and my fellow Interactors.

“Going to a Rotary International Convention opened my eyes to a lot of issues Rotary has helped solve and I want to help teenagers in our community realize that we can, ‘Be a gift to the world.’

CWA Cooma Branch members have had a busy start to 2016 participating in many and varied events to help raise funds for the projects they support throughout the year.

Perhaps your organisation or on a personal level have been the beneficiary of their help and dedication in the c o m m u n i t y, BUT they also have lots of fun, e.g. the Ozzie icon hats made for Australia Day, the amazing f l o a t resembling a giant cake representing Cooma Branch’s 90th birthday this year, which the ladies dedicated to all its members.

In between all the other very important events they support like the Royal Easter Show, Cooma Show, Tom Roberts Art Exhibition in Canberra, luncheon for ANU students, State Conference in Cowra and many local Group activities like the CWA Monaro Group Day in Bredbo last week. It was an informative day learning about the country of interest for this year – Mongolia – and the Agriculture and Environment Study which is the Red Cedar tree and the Regent Honey Eater. A Lovely display of Handicraft from Branch members and an item were chosen to enter the Intergroup Day competition along with the Far South Coast and Southern Tablelands Groups which will be held in Cooma in August.

The day in Bredbo concluded

with members performing skits and musical items in the name of Cultural.

Cooma Branch is looking forward to activities in the coming months starting with their Annual Curry Luncheon to be held this Friday 24th June at the Anglican Hall Cooma.

The proceeds of which will go to the Gymnastic Club, the Hub Youth Centre and CWA projects.

August will see us being hostess B r a n c h for the next Monaro Group council meeting and also providing lunch for the next round of Medical students from ANU. It is hoped that in July they will hold an information day about Country Women’s Association, ladies living in the area would be most welcome to come along and see if the Association is something you may be interested in joining.

The monthly meetings are held every second Monday of the month as the Cooma Car Club commencing at 1 pm.

CWA aim to help wherever and whenever possible on a local, state, national and world levels, and are keen providers of funds for areas of focus e.g. Domestic Violence issues, Medical Research for Lyme Disease, Education Grants, Salvation Army just to name a few.

Hope to see as many as possible at our Curry Luncheon on Friday !

John Scott art exhibition at Bibbenluke

The Snowy Monaro Regional Council is working on promoting the region as a major tourist hub with the sponsorship of Red Energy. We are currently in the process of initiating destination marketing for both the winter and summer seasons. We are rolling out our ‘Winter Starts Here’ campaign through advertising in the paper, on the radio and using visual material such as banners and lighting. This is a very exciting time for the region as it means that we can encompass areas such as Bombala and Jindabyne. We will be able to entice more tourists to visit these regions by highlighting their attractions and their unique identity. The impact of these campaigns will give the region an economic lift and refresh the tourism trade in the region.

I’m very pleased to be working with CWP Renewables to bring funding applications to the region under the Boco Rock scheme. This funding opportunity is as a result of the wind turbines that were established and, as a consequence money is provided each year to give back to the community as compensation. Several successful grant nominees were selected by a panel comprised of a community representative, a CWP Renewables representative and two council representatives. The winners from the Cooma and Nimmitabel region were presented with their funding on Friday 17 June 2016, while we are currently preparing to present the funding to the winners from the Bombala region.

Margot Ingram and Jenny Chaplin enjoyed the impressive show.

Local artist, John Scott and his wife, Pam were pleased to welcome so many to Bibbenluke for a survey show of John’s artworks on Sunday.

Recently, St Patricks Parish High School held a mock trial in the Cooma Council Chambers in which I acted the role of the magistrate. It was great to see all the students having fun and actively participating in the activity.

Council has been fortunate to receive a grant of $99,806 from the NSW Environmental Trust for a project to Improve Water Quality and Habitat value within Cooma’s Waterways. This grant will go with Council contribution to fund the total project with a value of $218,738. Works will include removal of willows and populars, bank stabilisations within the Cooma Back Creek and Cooma Creek areas. The project will be completed with the help of other local groups including South East LLS, Waterwatch, local volunteer and schools and community groups.

If you are interested in providing support for this project, please contact Council.

the

postman calls

The Postman has watched, and emphasised with, the healthcare funds on the telly.

You know the ones, where the caller] gets frustrated and angry trying to sort out a health fund issue?

There is a way that ad could be extended into other areas of frustration.

The Postman suggests the actors be replaced with small business owners, dealing with the Australian Tax Office – particularly in relation to BAS returns.

The Postman can guarantee there are instances where phones are literally banged on the desk or flung against a wall..

It is all to do with so many ATO personnel having no idea of what happens in the real world.

Which is not so surprising - most of our politicians have absolutely zero idea of how ordinary, every-day Australians live.

If the people making the rules walked in the shoes of the people they make the rules for, then those rules might make more (or any) sense.

Not everyone in this country receives sixfigure salaries. Most of us just have to muddle along coping with increasing prices and decreasing abilities to save.

Toilet ceremony on the nose Editor, The recent official opening of the Berridale public toilets, as reported in the June 8 edition of the Post was, in my opinion, a complete farce and an insult to the councillors and mayor as well as the staff and residents of the now-defunct Snowy River Shire.

The timing of the function was extremely poor, if one wants to maximise public participation in a public ceremony then Monday morning at 10.30 is not the way to go, the working week has just started and people go to work. Poor judgement indeed!

The Berridale toilet project was and always will be a Snowy River Shore project. It was planned, designed, built and funded by teat council and its community with some financial assistance from the State Government. Therefore the official opening should have been performed by the last mayor John Cahill and not by our State member John Barilaro who has an abundance of photo opportunities as it is.

To add insult to injury the plaque conveys a message that the project was funded by the Snowy Monaro Regionals Council – do I need to say more?

Your June 8 report also stated that our local state member is now of the opinion that the amalgamation

process was poorly handled. It is a pity John Barilaro did not come to that conclusion when that process was underway, in which case he could have given more meaningful support to the majority of Snowy River Shire residents who by survey strongly spoke against the amalgamation. John Barilaro belongs to the National Party, which is supposed to look after rural and regional communities.

I would hope that the Administrator of the Snowy Monaro Regional Council will now issue a public apology to Mayor John Cahill, his councillors as well as the residents.

In addition, I ask him to arrange for a new plaque to replace the current one, thereby deleting any reference to his council’s involvement in the finding of the project but by adding text to indicate that the entire project was administered and funded by the previous Snowy River Shire Council with funding assistance from the State Government.

If the new council aspires to achieve its aim of being “Stronger Together Better Together”, its administrator and management will need to pay more attention to respecting the identity of its component parts and the views and sentiments of its residents.

Bill Smits, Berridale

Numeralla black spot concern Editor, Thank you for the support you have been giving to the situation at Numeralla, where the Mobile Black Spot Committee has nominated construction of a tower in the village to serve approximately 120 residents plus itinerants. The Village and surrounding area has approximately 850 residents.

As a result, approximately 730 residents and additional itinerants will NOT receive mobile phone reception if a tower is constructed in the Village.

Telstra can move the tower from the Village, there are two other seemingly obvious options: • Co-locate on the NBN tower 2.3 km from the Village to serve approximately 170 residents including the Village leaving 678 residents NOT receiving mobile phone reception.

• The Numeralla & District Activities Inc wants a site known as the Hangman 6.5km north of the village to be properly evaluated for a tower location. Overlooking large parts of the District, it would cover up to a 40km radius, accessing approximately 850 Numeralla and District residents, 2000 campers in 2015/16, plus itinerant workers and tourists every day. The 40km transmission signal will reach the Monaro Highway to the west and

beyond to parts of Murrumbucca, Shannon’s Flat and Bredbo areas.

I feel the non-debate that I have heard from the Liberal and Labor candidates to date amounts to one consensus view, namely; “I’ll talk to Telstra if I’m elected”.

The Numeralla residents have a right to know their candidates are for, or against, a Village site, the NBN site or a full consideration of the Hangman site NOW. Neither candidate has taken the time to date for a visit to the Numeralla area so they could see for themselves the fiasco that the Numeralla residents are faced with in the future. This can be done NOW if the candidates visited the Numeralla Village, NBN and Hangman sites, and then they will understand why the Numeralla people are concerned, and frustrated with the ‘box ticking’ exercise that’s taken place so far.

Candidates should make a public statement NOW that the Numeralla Mobile Phone Tower will NOT be erected in the Village, or co-locate on the NBN Tower until the Hangman, or similar site, and its apparent benefits are fully evaluated in a proper cost benefit analysis.

John “Ratty” Ratcliffe to retire

CLAY CLEAR LICENSE NO. 296105C

‘17 years of industry experience’ Committed to servicing the people of Bombala, Delegate and surrounding areas

Bombala’s John Ratcliffe (right) with Billy Burke holding up a wedge tail eagle that got caught in power lines in the Bibbenluke-Ando area during the Monaro County Council years. Ratty will celebrate his retirement this coming Friday after almost 50 years of service.

As his retirement looms next week, Bombala’s John Ratcliffe can proudly look back on almost 50 years as a respected electrician to the Monaro region.

And while he reflects on years of hard work delivering this essential service to the area, he can also look back on decades of community involvement and volunteer work.

So active has John been in supporting his community, that he was named the Bombala Citizen of the Year in 2012; a fitting recognition of his commitment.

After all, while John was building his own business and supporting his family, he was also donating his time and expertise to complete electrical work for countless community groups.

This included day-to-day maintenance jobs, right up to larger projects such as the wiring of the local tennis courts and the upgrade of the Cathcart Hall; all contributed voluntarily.

John, fondly known to most as Ratty, started off as an apprentice with the Monaro County Council in 1967, working with the company for 10 years.

This took him all across the region, working in everything from heavy snowfalls to floods to keep the electricity supply connected. And let’s not forget there were no mobile phones or email in those days to make the job easier!

“I remember John going out one night with Norm Sharp, driving along the Bonang Highway to look for damaged powerpoles in a storm, and a tree branch went right through the vehicle window,” John’s wife, Francis recalls.

Ratty made many friends through his years with the County Council, and when he started his own business, he still made work available to the company’s apprentices who were required to complete so many hours with a licensed contractor in order to get qualified themselves.

Ratty put several young local workers through their apprenticeship through his own business as well, and this in itself has been an important contribution to the community.

But anyone who knows Ratty can tell you that his real passion outside of work is Rugby League, and he has been involved

in all facets of local footy as a player, a coach and a committee man.

He played for the Bibbenluke, Bombala and Delegate clubs over the years, and was even a representative player for Group 16 at the age of 19.

“When John was playing first grade, he was playing footy on the Sunday and getting up in the early hours of the morning on Monday to travel to TAFE in Canberra,” Francis explains.

“He had a young wife and baby, and he had to stay committed to work as well.”

John and Francis were married in 1968 and all three of their children, Priscilla, Damien and Nathan, worked with him in his electrician business at some stage, helping in particular when he snapped his Achilles tendon and had a difficult few months on the job.

While family and work always came first, footy continued as an important part of Ratty’s life, and he coached several teams, as well as serving on the committee of the Bombala–Delegate Club, and the larger Group 16.

Ratty’s involvement also extended to the Bombala Junior Rugby League Football Club, an organisation he was involved in from 1978 to 1996, and through which both of his sons played footy.

He served as a coach for the juniors and a committee person, including a stint as President, and Ratty was made a Life Member for his dedication to the club.

As part of his involvement he always co-ordinated the Welcoming Dinner for guests during the Clash of the Giants Fairy Meadow visits, and assisted in ensuring that the traditional long weekend event always ran smoothly.

Ratty has also given many hours to the annual Bibbenluke Carnival, and even off-season has contributed to local footy by becoming the original Treasurer of the Bombala Touch Football Association and a committee member of 13 years.

But it’s not always about the footy! Ratty has also been a member of the Bombala Exhibition Ground Management Committee for many years, serving as President for a number of these.

He is still a very active member of the committee and has been involved with the upkeep of the grounds. Again, this is

especially in regards to electrical work, where he has volunteered to help with the rewiring of the kiosk, the lighting of the netball courts and the upgrade of the Youth Club.

As a foundation member of the Anzac Day Sports Committee, Ratty has also helped to ensure that this event has provided a wonderful family fun day for the last 20 years, raising many thousands of dollars for community causes.

He has also always been a keen supporter of the St Joseph’s Primary School, being a member of the P&C and for many years assisting with the Catholic Debutante Ball, with his advice regarding anything electrical having been invaluable to this committee in making the night a great event.

For more than 10 years John has been associated with the Bombala and District Jockey Club, very capably managing the bar on Bombala’s big race day.

Ratty also organised the upgrade of the electrical system at the race course, with the improvements allowing the club to compete on the same terms as other regional meets.

Of course in being recognised for all of these years of commitment with the Citizen of the Year Award in 2012, Ratty was humble, thanking Francis for her years of support, and speaking of how much he had enjoyed contributing to the community.

In fact, he took the opportunity to encourage those who are not involved in community work to consider volunteering to help out what he described as “the greatest town in the best country in the world”.

Bombala Council Mayor at the time, Bob Stewart had nothing but praise for Ratty, and summed up what his commitment to his career and community work has meant to the district.

“Our community has been very fortunate to have such a dedicated man in our midst who has contributed an extraordinary amount of volunteer work to our district,” he said.

The community is invited to help celebrate the retirement of Ratty and Francis this coming Friday, June 24 from 6pm at the Bombala RSL Club.

Update on South East Local Land Services Restructure. Deputy Director Service Planning, Grantley Ingram, attended the information session in Bombala on Thursday 16 June. He reports that about 50 concerned land holders attended the briefing .

The general feeling at the conclusion of the meeting was that there would be a reduced level of service as a result of the restructure. The current wild dog program, which is delivered from the Bombala office and is considered to be the most successful State wide, was offered as an example of reduced service impacting effectiveness of programs.

The Bombala Local Land Services building is likely to be sold in the very near future and at this stage no alternative solutions to housing staff have been

made. Staffing presence under the changes will see only one guaranteed job in the Bombala area with a maximum of two. This is down from a previous staff component of around five under the previous Rural Lands structure. The impact on the Cooma Office was unfortunately not discussed.

While it is understood that State wide, Local Land Services are reporting a 10 million dollar loss, the Cooma/Bombala operational budget will be run as a balanced budget. It was noted that the importance of the commitment that comes with having local staff, with a strong connection to the community , is extremely important and it would appear that this has not been taken into consideration with the re structure.

Council Meeting dates Council meets the last Wednesday of the month.

Meetings commence at 5.30pm with presentations from the community. If you wish to present please arrive a little earlier so that you can register your intention to speak.

Berridale memorial unveiling next Friday Owver the past three years or more, the Snowy River Sub-Branch of the RSL has been working to redress certain anomalies and omissions on the Berridale Cenotaph.

The task is now complete and it is planned to unveil the memorial at midday on

Friday July 1.

With the assistance of a grant from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs and contributions in kind by the former Snowy River Shire Council, and local volunteers, a large rock has been positioned in Park

Street and Honour Rolls containing the names of more than 280 Berridale/Dalgety citizens who, over a period of more than 115 years, served in the Boer War, World War One, World War Two and Vietnam have been mounted, including 26 who paid the Supreme Sacrifice, as in the attached photo.

The task has been somewhat exhaustive and involved the early engagement with local historical societies and other community organisations.

It is intended that the Memorial be unveiled jointly by John Cahill and Barry Clarke.

Mr Cahill, the former Snowy River Shire Council Mayor, was the principal community leader during the Memorial’s development and installation.

Mr Clarke, a Vietnam War

veteran, is the son of the late Kevin Clarke of “Killara” Berridale, who undertook much of the original research that made the Memorial possible.

The Member for Monaro, John Barilaro, Minister for Regional Development, Skills and Small Business, will participate in the ceremony.

A catafalque party from the Australian Defence Force’s Federation Guard will add to the ceremony’s significance and presentation.

The Snowy River RSL Sub-Branch invites and encourages all those remotely related to the district’s veterans and all others interested to attend and participate in the ceremony.

Queries are also encouraged and should be directed to the Sub-Branch’s Secretary, Steve Youll, who may be contacted on 0414 953 292 or at stephen@youll.com.au

Bombala community services report for May The Carers were very spoilt in May they had two outings.

The regular monthly outing was to the Bega Cheese Heritage Centre were they all got to learn about the ‘older’ ways of producing milk, cheese and dairy products.

Lunch is always on the agenda so into the shopping plaza for that, which then gave them all an excuse for a quick bit of retail therapy.

Next the Carers group were treated to an extra outing this month thanks to the ‘together’ program’s additional Sustainability grant.

This was off to Canberra for a beautiful cruise on Lake Burley Griffin followed by a visit to Cockington Green Gardens.

This was a beautiful outing that all the Carers were very grateful for and wish to thank the ‘together’ program for.

Cockington Green is an amazing garden with recreated gardens from around the world; it made you feel like you’re been on a holiday.

If you’re a Carer in the local community and would like to join us please phone the Bombala Council Community Services on 6458 4620.

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

Contact group monthly report The last month of autumn began with splendid weather and work on a special art project for the Contact Group.

The art work designated for the Delegate MPS is progressing well with guidance and generous assistance from local artist Neen Robb.

Ken Stranger of the Cochlear Awareness Network was the

guest speaker for the second session.

Living with hearing loss can be debilitating and isolating. Ken’s presentation included information regarding deafness, hearing aids and cochlear implants.

He spoke of his personal experience with hearing loss and offered advice regarding the many options available to improve hearing and increase well-being.

The Biggest Morning Tea was next for the month of May and this was celebrated with a “Mad Hatter Tea Party”.

It was a fun morning of laughter and photo’s in the ‘photo frame’

all whist raising money for Cancer research.

Lastly the group had the very talented Heidi Bruce come to show her amazing quilts to them.

Heidi runs her own online fabric business from home as well as producing her wonderful quilts that appear in magazines around the country.

For more information regarding Contact Group activities contact Bombala Council Community Services – Phone 6458 4620.

PSSA boys basketball knockout in Merimbula Last Friday Bombala Public School boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball team travelled to Merimbula to represent our school in the PSSA Basketball Knockout.

We met at the courts to the sound of the surf behind us, warmed up and changed into our team singlets.

It was a new experience for many of the boys playing together for the first time in four 10 minute quarters against a very strong Merimbula team on their home courts.

With the score increasing quickly against us the team never gave up; they defended, contested bravely for the ball and at all times kept a positive team spirit.

Some magic shots and defence from Will Garnock, Brett Ashton and Colby Brownlie boosted our score

while Jack Stevenson and Xander Paynter were always in the mix making sure the opposition didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have it all their way.

Finn Sullivan and Reide Heffernan - our youngest players - ran and supported the team valiantly giving their best effort for the Bombala team.

Big congratulations must be given to the team for their sportsmanship, never-say-die attitude and the respectful way they conducted themselves before the referees, opposition and parents. A huge thank you to the parents who transported the boys to Merimbula, supported them throughout the game and encouraged them at all times. Thank you also to the Bombala Basketball Association

for the use of singlets on the day.

We learned a lot, played hard and above all, had a great time.

Well done, boys.

Heather Anoleck Dip FMBM

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

One third investors saving for years to buy property Almost one third of investors took more than four years to save the deposit for their investment property, new data has revealed.

According to Mortgage Choice’s annual Investor Survey, 30.9% of respondents said they had been saving for many years before being able to buy.

Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said with property prices rising fairly consistently across most markets, he wasn’t surprised to see so many investors struggling to save their property deposit.

“Data from CoreLogic found property values across the combined capital cities climbed 1.6% over the month of May,” he said.

“Sydney was the standout performer, with values surging 3.1% in the capital city over the course of the month.

“Over the 12 months to June, property values have risen 10.0% across the combined capital cities.

And while this is impressive growth, it is made all the more impressive when you consider that this level of growth is actually significantly lower than the last couple of years.

“Since 2013, property prices have skyrocketed across most markets. As a result, investors and home buyers are finding it is taking them longer to save the deposit they need in order to

purchase property.”

In addition to rising property prices, Mr Flavell said the rising cost of living was also making it harder for buyers to save a property deposit.

“With the cost of living rising substantially over the last few years, many investors are arguing that they are unable to save as much of their regular paycheck as they would like,” he said.

“According to the results from the Investor Survey, 64.7% of investors said they put less than 20% of their regular paycheck towards their deposit.

“Most people can’t afford to save more than that each month. And when you consider that the average mortgage size has grown 23.4% since 2012, while the average wage has risen just 8.8% over the same time period, it isn’t surprising to see so many Australians saving for years in order to buy property.”

Mr Flavell said something needed to be done to ensure housing – regardless of whether it is for owner occupied or investment purposes – doesn’t become unaffordable for Australians.

“We need to make sure property ownership is still an attainable goal for all Australians as well as our future generations,” he said.

Snowy Monaro Arts Council Welcomes Sydney Conservatorium of Music 2016 For 15 years Snowy Monaro Arts Council Inc. has hosted a visit to Monaro by students of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

This year ‘the Con’ is sending an exciting collection of young musicians on a Great Southern Tour.

The Wentworth Quartet is a new string quartet, comprising of Alexander Chiu and Maxine Poon on violin, Joseph Coen on viola and Emma Rayner on cello. These four are mentored by esteemed Norwegian violinist, Ole Bohn and are passionate about bringing the beauty and joy of music to audiences on their travels.

The quartet will be joined by mentor and pianist David Miller, Rowan Phemister on harp and baritone Henry Wright (pictured).

Henry began classical singing lessons at the age of ten. He has performed as a chorister and soloist in various school and community

choirs and has even travelled to Europe to perform. With his versatile voice, Henry enjoys singing in all styles, from popular and jazz to classical, and he particularly enjoys performing comedic roles from opera and musical theatre.

All seven of these gifted musicians will be performing in Cooma on Wednesday June 29, at 7:30pm at the Anglican Parish Hall. Tickets will be available at The Fabric Salon

Delegate Public School SAKG News Last week we continued to dig in a green manure crop in the potato bed.

This is heavy work, particularly after rain, so we have covered the bed with recycled shade cloth to assist in the breaking down of the green material. The holes in the shade cloth allow the soil to breathe and not sour but the fabric deprives the plants underneath of sufficient light so that they die and rot down for us.

We are continuing the theme of the effect of selective breeding on common vegetable varieties this time using the shapes and colour variation in carrots. We have also sown three different sized seeds, lettuce, pea and broad bean, to demonstrate the appropriate techniques required. On looking at the white lettuce seed scattered on black soil in a tray one Yr2 person remarked ‘It looks like

stars in the sky’.

We have produced kiwi fruit this year. Now that we know that the plants will perform under our conditions we will improve the trellis with the aim of gaining significant crops.

Kiwi fruits are interesting plants in that male flowers occur on different plants to the female flowers.

Asparagus is another plant with this characteristic.

We have continued planting ‘bulbs’ and learning the difference b e t w e e n the various plant organs c o m m o n l y called bulbs that store food.

The children are amazed at how quickly

and the extent to which these structures absorb water in order to begin a new cycle of growth.

This not only teaches planting techniques but re-enforces that it is the

storage of plant foods in various plant tissues that makes the plant useful to us as food e.g onions, carrots and seeds such as peas and wheat.

Tax tips to help small business and employees With the end of the financial year fast approaching, CPA Australia has released a series of tax tips to assist small business and employees.

CPA Australia’s head of policy, Paul Drum says as we get closer to year end, there are a range of issues employees and small business owners should be considering.

“There have been a number of changes that will come into effect from 1 July 2016. Making sure you are aware of the latest information is an important part of your decision making process.”

“The ATO has a range of products that can assist you in the preparation and lodgment of your tax return but we would encourage people to see a CPA-registered tax agent to talk about your specific circumstances,” he said.

Small business tax tips • The government’s proposed reduction in the company tax rate from 28.5 to 27.5 per cent for companies that have an annual

turnover of less than $2 million from 1 July 2016 may provide some good tax planning opportunities regarding income recognition and expenses. In particular, eligible businesses should consider legitimate ways to bring forward expenses into this financial year, and delay revenue until the next financial year.

• Certain small businesses may be able to get an immediate tax deduction for nearly all individual assets purchased by 30 June 2016 that cost less than $20,000 each.

• For the first time ever professional expenses incurred in commencing a new business, such as legal and accounting fees, are deductible in the year those expenses are incurred, rather than deducted over a five-year period as was the case prior to 1 July 2015.

• Thinking of restructuring your small business? Perhaps you should consider delaying the restructure until after the new financial year commences. This is because from 1 July 2016, small

businesses will be able to change the legal structure of their business without incurring any income tax liability when active assets are transferred by one entity to another.

• From 1 July 2016 SuperStream comes online, and this means that if you are an employer with 19 or fewer employees you will pay super contributions for your employees electronically (EFT or BPAY) and send the associated data electronically. If you are not prepared for SuperStream, seek professional advice or visit the ATO website www.ato.gov.au.

• The end of the financial year often sees the emergence of tax effective investment products. If you are considering such an investment, seek independent advice before making a decision.

• With the Federal election looming and a number of government tax announcements not yet law, tax time has never been more confusing. Over 95% of all businesses seek professional advice from a registered tax agent – if you don’t already, make sure your business is one of them this taxtime.

To find out more, speak to a CPAregistered tax agent about your specific circumstances.

Employee tips • Don’t forget to claim all your work related deductions. Typical work-related expenses include employment-related telephone, mobile phone, internet usage, computer repairs, union fees and professional subscriptions. Note that for the first time ever the ATO is checking these claims in real time.

Make sure you claim only what you are legally entitled to claim and that you have all necessary receipts or credit card statements to back-up

your claims.

• You may wish to consider making the maximum allowed concessional superannuation contribution before year end. The concessional contributions cap for the 2015-16 financial year are $30,000 for the under 50s, and $35,000 if you’re aged 50 or over. Note that the government has proposed new caps for 2017 and beyond so it’s best you seek professional advice about your options and choices before year end.

• The government has also proposed that the superannuation non-concessional cap be limited to $500,000 per person over their lifetime. In determining the limit the law proposes to take into account all non-concessional contributions you have made since 2007. Given the retrospectivity of the measure and how it is calculated, if you are considering making a contribution to your super before 30 June, you should seek professional advice.

• If you use your motor vehicle for work-related travel, there are now only two choices for how you can claim work related travel. If your claim for kilometres travelled does not exceed 5,000 kilometres for the year you can claim a deduction for your vehicle expenses on a cents per kilometre basis. If your business travel exceeds 5,000 kilometres, you must use the log book method.

See your tax agent for further details.

• If you have a property that is either being rented out or is available for rent you can claim immediate deductions for a range of expenses such as interest on investment loans, land tax, council and water rates, body corporate charges, insurance, repairs and maintenance, agent’s commission,

gardening, pest control, advertising for tenants and reasonable travel to inspect properties. It’s worth noting that the ATO has indicated it is closely examining these claims again this year so if in doubt get professional advice.

• When part of your home has been set aside primarily or exclusively for the purpose of doing work, a home office deduction may be allowable.

Typical home office costs include heating, cooling, lighting costs, and even depreciation of your office equipment.

• Self-education expenses can be claimed provided the study is directly related to either maintaining or improving your current occupational skills or it is likely to increase your income from your current employment. Typical selfeducation expenses include course fees, textbooks, stationery, student union fees and the depreciation of assets such as computers and printers.

• Immediate deductions can be claimed for assets that cost under $300 to the extent the asset is used for an income producing purpose. This could include tools for tradespeople, or calculators, briefcases, computer equipment and technical books purchased by an employee, or even minor items of plant purchased by a landlord.

• Assets costing $300 or more that are used for an income producing purpose can be written off over a period of time as a tax deduction. The amount of the deduction is typically determined by the asset’s value, its effective life and the extent to which it’s used for income producing purposes.

To find out more, speak to a CPAregistered tax agent about your specific circumstances.

Australian agriculture can lead the way Australian agriculture stands poised and ready to lead the global marketplace for agricultural products but calls for the review or

rewinding of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) must be abandoned and focus placed on removing nontariff barriers to trade.

National Farmers

Federation (NFF) Chief Executive Office, Tony Mahar, said technological improvements were rapidly reshaping the way trade and business were conducted but opportunities were being lost to avoidable and unnecessary blocks to trade efficiency.

“Our agreements set up the framework for trade, however they are often compromised by administration and protocols between governments that restrict and hinder the uptake of the new opportunities,” Mr Mahar said.

“There is an underlying view that non-tariff barriers have been increasing over the past decade centred on two broad areas – increasing the range and level of sophistication of barriers and the move towards merging or forcing domestic regulation in the international trade

arena.

“These barriers come at a significant cost to industry. For example, the estimated annual cost to the dairy supply chain is $1.7 billion across all export markets while in the red meat sector non-tariff trade barriers are estimated to account for some $1.3 billion in lost value.

“We should absolutely not be looking to review or unwind our trade agreements, as has been suggested by unions and the Australian Labor Party, but should be focusing on the development of a coordinated strategy to address non-tariff barriers so as to best position the agriculture sector to capitalise on the outcomes of bilateral and regional FTAs.” Mr Mahar said the development of a strategy to pursue these opportunities should be done so in consultation

with industry and should include a clear differentiation between Australia’s trade and foreign investment or aid objectives.

“The collaborative and constructive nontariff barriers strategy between industry and government could be focused on a range of broader cross-sectoral issues including labelling, pre-market product registration and import/ export certification,” he said.

“As we move closer to the election it is imperative political candidates understand the enormous impact removing these barriers would have on Australia’s ability to truly lead the global agricultural marketplace and to build on it reputation for being the best producer of high quality food and fibre in the world.”

Tree planting goes ahead after massive rain event on the Monaro

Upper Snowy Landcare showcases its four Dieback Project plots along the highway between Cooma and Berridale Upper Snowy Landcare Committee (USLC) is overjoyed to embark on the tree planting phase of its large scale revegetation project amongst the dieback scarred hills between Cooma and Berridale this week.

Robin Sevenoaks (Chair of USLC) was on site at Kelton Plain to celebrate the first day of planting, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the last few months, USLC have engaged willing landholders, carefully prepared each of the four plots and patiently waited for this godsend of recent soaking rain to sow trees and shrubs as part of our important Dieback Project.â&#x20AC;?

The 5000 trees and shrubs being planted across the four dieback revegetation plots is accepted by USLC as a small but still very important reaction to an extremely large dieback episode.

Species being re-established will mimic what has been lost whilst adding more diversity in a mix of 8 eucalyptus species, 4 acacia species along with 5 species of shrubs including tea tree and callistemon.

The jury is still out on the primary cause of death of the trees with endless opinions ranging from; the past drought causing the trees to weaken becoming more prone to Eucalyptus weevil (native) attack which then ultimately kills them; lack of seasonal cool ground cover burning; soil fungus or the trees just naturally dying off at the edge of their range.

Despite the cause, the tree loss has fractured habitat connectivity making life difficult for animal species such small bush birds, reptiles, terrestrial and arboreal mammals from moving under the safety of the tree canopy to feed and breed. Also the tree loss has opened up country to new erosion events and weed incursion, not to mention the tremendous loss of shelter belt benefits and the danger of trees falling on people and fences.

Ms Sevenoaks states, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Monaro Tree Nursery (MTN) who are contracted to grow and sow the

regionally appropriate and acclimatised seedlings for our Dieback Project have suggested we follow a specific recipe for successfully sowing native plants on the Monaro and we have been very careful to follow this formula particularly as the MTN have had great success establishing tree plots over the years.

This important revegetation work initiated by the USLC will be followed up in future years under a 10 year Bush Connect Grant which is a partnership of USLC with Greening Australia and CSIRO to establish further trial sites to investigate the benefits of planting more robust and persistent species, test cool burning to enhance soil quality and target planting of connectivity links between existing remnants.

Bombala LLS futures forum a tad heated

About 55 concerned community members and local staff attended a forum held in Bombala last Thursday to discuss the South East LLS Change Management Plan, and the sale of the Bombala office.

In response to community demand, a forum was held in Bombala last Thursday, June 16 to discuss the Change Management Plan taking place throughout the South East Local Land Service.

The sale of the current LLS office

in Bombala and the reduction of local staff were the main points of concern discussed, with the meeting becoming heated at times.

In attendance were Chair of the South East LLS, David Mitchell, Director Mac Wilson, and General Manager Derek Larsen.

Further senior staff and Bombala staff members were also present, with some 55 local community members attending the two hour forum held at the local RSL Club.

Explaining the need for the Change Č&#x2C6; Â&#x192;Â&#x2013; Â&#x192;Â&#x2013;Â&#x2013;Â&#x17D;Â&#x2021; Č&#x201A; Thursday Weekly 9am Management Plan, it was outlined 23, 30 June, 7, 14 , 21, & 28 July at the meeting that the current rates revenue in Monaro was $1.142m, Č&#x2C6; Â&#x2013;Â&#x2018;Â&#x201D;Â&#x2021; Â&#x192;Â&#x2013;Â&#x2013;Â&#x17D;Â&#x2021; Č&#x201A; 2 & 4 Friday 10am while the cost of service in 2016/17 24 June, 8 & 22 July, 12 August comes in at $1.433m.

Nonetheless, the gathering expressed deep concern about the sale of the office, and the perceived â&#x20AC;&#x153;removalâ&#x20AC;? of the service from the local area.

Here it was stated that the LLS would continue to maintain an active presence in Bombala, but had not yet decided on an appropriate accommodation model. It was, however, confirmed that administration staff would not be based locally.

Whilst the community still voiced concerns that services would diminish in the area, Mr Larsen stated that â&#x20AC;&#x153;it was imperative that South East LLS always challenge itself to provide a more efficient and sustainable model, with a better and broader customer service approachâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Communities that are currently not serviced will benefit from the change,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The meeting confirmed that there was currently one Bombala employee affected, but that there were opportunities for that employee to apply for advertised roles when they became available.

CLEARANCE,

THEY NEED TO GO!

It could not be confirmed if the eventual role would be based in Bombala.

It was explained that the Change Management Plan was a very detailed and complex process that was necessary in order to deliver an integrated service delivery model as now required under the LLS Act. The model proposed took the form of â&#x20AC;&#x153;a Local Manager supported by a local team delivering a local plan into the local community and local accountabilityâ&#x20AC;?.

A Local Manager would be appointed to be accountable to deliver the new integrated service model and would be based in Cooma.

There would be no overall reduction in full time employment within the Monaro team, but there would be a reshaping of the team to deliver a better quality customer service.

This would include a reduction in Grade three roles and the addition of a Grade 5 Senior Bio Security role and a Grade 6 Natural Resource Management role.

Core services listed were bio security, productive agriculture, natural resource management and emergency management, with investor programs and projects in addition to this.

Mr Larson confirmed that there would be no reduction in the commitment to the current fox and wild dog baiting programs across the Monaro, but there would be an increased level of support for more groups to be formed to get even better results. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the community, the LLS has only just completed the largest baiting program ever in the South East, with over 15,000 baits being delivered via both air and on ground,â&#x20AC;? he said.

It was expressed at the forum that the current local government amalgamations had impacted community concerns with respect to the Change Management Plan, and the LLS representatives emphasised that constituents should contact their Local Member if they had concerns with respect to funding.

Further South East LLS meetings will be held as required or requested.

New govt. program targets quad bike safety A new NSW Government program designed to reduce quad bike injuries on farms has been established, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro said today.

The new SafeWork NSW Quad Bike Safety Improvement Program, due to commence in late July, includes a $2 million dollar rebate package to encourage and support farmers to adopt a range of harm prevention strategies to protect their workers and themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that Quad bikes are currently the leading cause of death on Australian farms with 220 deaths in the past 16 years and thousands more people seriously injured,â&#x20AC;? Mr Barilaro said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The program has been designed to improve awareness of safety issues and provide practical and financial assistance to farmers to reduce injuries and save lives.â&#x20AC;?

Key focus areas of

the Program include safe use, safer vehicles in workplaces, operator protective devices, training and awareness and promotion of the use of helmets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The NSW Government will be offering rebates of up to $500 towards the purchase of compliant helmets, Operator Protective Devices, the purchase of a safer vehicle, such as a sideby-side vehicle and undertaking training courses tailored for

farmers,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Barilaro.

In 2013, SafeWork NSW funded a $1.3 million world-first testing and research project into quad bike safety, and its recommendations considered as part of New South Wales and Queensland Coronial Inquiries into quad bike deaths last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quad bike related fatalities on farms are at an unacceptable level and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to take action,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Barilaro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With more than

200,000 quad bikes in operation across Australia in both a commercial and recreational capacity, and this program is a step forward to reducing injuries and saving lives.â&#x20AC;?

The small business rebate available for farmers under the NSW Quad Bike Safety Improvement Program is a time and funds limited incentive that commences 19 July 2016.

Cooma Colts record mixed results in round seven Full On Constructions and Rhythm Snow Sports Under 6’s The Rhythm Snowsports Full On Constructions Under Six Colts played the Queanbeyan Kangaroos in Queanbeyan on Sunday. The Colts started out well making crucial tackles when it counted and scoring tries to keep the scores tied for most of the game.

The Kangaroos took advantage of some dropped balls from the Colts in the last third and were able to increase the scoreline against us.

A tiring Colts team wasn’t able to make up the difference and were defeated 9 tries to 7 at the final siren. This week the medal went to Toby McKenzie and the McDonalds award went to Nichols Burchall. Keep on going, Benjamin Fox, Nicholas Burchall, Junior Morgan, William Bryan, Hunter Hart, Phillip Jefferies, Toby McKenzie, and Ethan Brazulaitis, you guys are doing really well.

South East Embroidery Under 7’s The Cooma colts travelled to Canberra on Sunday to take on the North Canberra Bears.

The Colts started the game off with great tackles from all players putting in 100%. Solid runs from Nate Stokes saw him cross over the line for the Colt’s first try of the game. This set the wheels in motion and soon after that Tyler Lee scored two tries.

Solid defence from Mitchell Fletcher, Keeley-May UsherRodahl and Aiden Dixon made it hard for the Bears to break through. Jermaine Bartlett tackled well and made some good yards and scored himself a hat trick of tries. After another great set in attack saw Mitchell Fletcher score his first try of the season.

Riley Williams showed super speed and great foot work and scored an outstanding four tries for the Colts. Harper Woolf ran hard through the middle and crossed over the line to score a try. A great team effort was displayed by all the Colts with no subs they managed to show an impressive score being the victors 48-4 Tries went to: Riley Williams (4), Jermaine Bartlett (3), Tyler Lee (2) Mitchell Fletcher (1) Nate Stokes (1), Harper Woolf (1). The Medal went to Mitchell Fletcher and the Certificate went to Aiden Dixon.

Snowy River Painting Under 8’s – White The Colts travelled to Canberra on Sunday to take on the Gungahlin Bulls on a mud filled paddock. Without playing the last two weeks due to weather conditions and a bye, the Colts were itching to get their fix of footy, even in such poor conditions. The Colts went out hard with some big runs from Lachlan Bryan and Lachlan Burchall who made big metres with every run. Jackson Cook busted the Bulls defensive line apart with every hit up, which could well earn him the nick name “Bull Dozer”.

Riley McKenzie was the first to cross for the Colts and Lachlan Burchall was able to take the lead further by converting the two points. The Bulls managed to hit back with a try of their own, but the Colts pulled away further with a try to Kyte Lee and conversion to Lachlan Bryan.

The Bulls hit the Colts line hard in an attempt to stay in touch, but were shut down set after set with crunching defence from Othon Morgan, Cooper Lee, Bailey Benn, Riley McKenzie and Kyte Lee. Othon Morgan wasn’t going miss out on the try scoring fun and was next to cross the line for the Colts.

The Bulls desperately threw everything they could at the Colts and managed to cross again, but the Colts hit straight back with another try to Kyte Lee to seal the win. The Colts took the game 20 to 8 over the Bulls. Tries to Kyte Lee (2), Riley McKenzie and Othon Morgan. Conversions to Lachlan Burchall and Lachlan Bryan. The Medal went to Cooper Lee and the Maccas award went to Othon Morgan.

Monaro Constructions Under 8’s – Black Round seven saw the Cooma Colts Under 8 Black travel to Canberra, playing at the Kambah grounds.

Playing with only six players it was an uphill battle, against a full strength Tuggeranong Buffaloes team. The Tuggeranong team lent Colts a couple of their players half way through the game which evened up the play. The Colts didn’t stop trying and chased all day when they had to defend.

The Tuggeranong team played and were the better team on the day. And although we didn’t get a win our Colts

played strongly.

Manson Sandeberg pulled off some great tackles against much bigger players and was our stand out player in defence, this earned him the player’s medal for this week.

James Burke was again very strong and broke the defensive line more than once, with one of his strong runs producing a Colts try. Colby Douch took this first kick at goal for the game converting James’ try.

Rhylee Rosenbaum-Robinson was keen in backing up his players and always getting to the dummy half position to set up the first pass or take the line on. Blaze Podger, our teams’ speedster, gave this opposing players a few headaches, and was hard to catch, with Laith Podger turning up in defence to take on much bigger players all game.

Well done to the boys, with each game seeing improvements in both their defence and attack and a big thank you to the Cooma Colts Under Eights Black team sponsors Monaro Constructions.

Monaro Panel Beaters Under 9’s With last weekend a wash out and a little r and r the Under 9’s headed up to North Canberra to compete against the Bears last weekend and what a nail biting game it was.

The whole game seemed to be like; if you can do it I can do it too!!! First try went to the opposition but it wasn’t long until Hunter Caldwell worked his magic and ran over and scored. We showed a lot of dominance in the first half and it was a great team effort with hard tackling and defence.

Our attack was outstanding with Tyrell Bartlett and Jett Kelly showing their speed, cheeky sidestepping and adding to the score with the pair crossing over for a try each.

Both teams were punishing in defence with player of the match Rylee Holland playing his best game to date cavorting it up all over the field.

Not far behind was Natasha Kelly who showed unyielding hit ups and great tackling. Ben Smith, slip sliding pass the opposition made some great yards for the team as well as Jayden Hart contributing to great field position but they too made some heart stopping tackles.

In the second half the Bears came back and evened up the score but not without the Colts Dempsey Woolf, Archie Blyton, Connor Nelson, Charlie Payne and Jack Dunn facing up to the quickness and size of the Bears with tackling precision and bringing their opponents to the ground.

The last two minutes of the game all spectators were on the edge of their seats so to speak with Bailey Taylor helping his team hold out the Bears and keeping the final score to a draw at 22-all. This was the best defensive game and team effort we have ever played and your coach Creedence could not be more proud of you guys….WELL DONE…can’t wait for next weekend.

Sportspower Cooma Colts Under 10’s The Sportspower U10’s took on the Gunghalin Bulls last weekend in Canberra.

The boys had a reasonable start to the game with Cameron Filtness leading the boys out as captain and leading by example with some strong runs and heavy defence, Jack Robertson is improving with every game also making strong tackles and getting good metres when running the ball.

Tyler Walden showed some great pace and skill scoring two tries for the Colts this week on a very wet field. Thomas Rudd and Clayton Clark tried hard all game giving the Bulls backs some dramas when running the ball and also defended well. Judah Fai Filiga ran hard all game and made some good tackles as did Zane Usher-Rodahl who tried his best all game. Charlie Fleming ran hard all day and also defended well.

Josh Williams had another strong running game making good metres when the team needed some extra go forward also making some great tackles earning himself a hitman award. He was backed up by Ty Brazalitus who tried hard in his first game back.

Mitchell Reid was unlucky not to score on a couple of occasions throughout the game playing well and not to be outdone was Rhys Cleverly who earned himself a hitman award for some really solid defence throughout the game.

Lucas Umback tried his best in the second half getting involved in some good tackles. Jacob Smith made some good runs out of dummy half and tried in defence all game, but once again player of the week went to Lee Morgan who had another great game scoring two ties and tackling strongly all game showing that toughness and determination

comes in all shapes and sizes.

It was a very close game and the boys tried really hard again but unfortunately we let the Bulls cross the line in the last 30 seconds giving them the win 22-26.

Tries Lee Morgan 2, Tyler Walden 2, Conversions Rhys Cleverly, Mitchell Reid, Cameron Filtness. Player of the week went to Lee Morgan with Josh Williams and Rhys Cleverly each getting a Hitman award.

Highland Ground Spreading under 11’s You beauty! The footys back on after a month’s break.

The U/11s team finally got to play the Belconnen Untied Sharks. It was a slippery, muddy field to contest the battle.

The ball handling throughout the game was above standard, considering the conditions.

Maison Turner scored the first try from a great kick from Justin McDonald and from then on, it was a try for try game. In the end it was a 24 all in a good contest. Both Maison Turner and Jordan Williams scored twice and all the conversions were landed.

After seven rounds there are still three teams being undefeated, Colts being one of them. Seven rounds to go, so it looks like a very tight finish. Best and fairest points go to Louie Mould (3), Jordan Williams (2), Maison Turner (1), Choc Awards to Jordan and Maison and the medal to Tom Bromfield.

Mainstreet Under 12’s Main Street Clothing Under 12’s took on West Belconnen Blue at Kippax on a very wet, soggy field and came out victorious in a hard fought tussle to win 18-6.

The team stuck to the game plan that we trained for all week. A great kicking game from Jack with Shawn, Jonah, Sam, Cooper and Adam all chasing well and putting pressure on the opposition. This resulted in a hat trick of tries from Alex in the first half and Jack converting a try making it 14-6 at half time.

The coach challenged them to keep the other team scoreless for the second half and the team delivered with a massive defensive effort keeping the opposition stuck deep in their own 20 for most of the half.

Great tackling by Kayla, Jack, James and Lachlan as usual that lifted the forward pack, with Aron, Connor and Doron making good metres on the edge. Barrett and Lachie did great dummy half work in muddy conditions.

Tirone took it upon himself to run hard and straight through the mud making big metres through the middle with James scoring a tough try straight through the middle after some good go forward from the team.

It was an excellent win keeping us in touch with the top four in a very tough competition. Thanks to Jane, Greg and Brett for their help, and thanks to all the parents for travelling.

Franks Butchery Under 13’s The Franks Butchery sponsored Cooma Colts U13’s travelled to Kippax last week to play the West Belconnen Warriors in slippery conditions.

The Colts started slowly with a lack of urgency and commitment in defence and poor ball control.

West Belconnen took advantage of this with good ball movement which saw them leading the Colts 26-0 at half time.

A change in attitude at halftime saw the Colts score tries to Brock Halls and Jesse Eljuga after the halftime break.

Combined with a better defensive effort the Colts kept West Belconnen scoreless for most of the second half with only two tries to West Belconnen late in the game bringing the final score to West Belconnen Warriors 36 to Cooma Colts 8.

The Colts proved in the second half that with grit, determination and the right attitude they can match any side.

It is up to the players to produce this all game every week.

This week the 3 points went to Jesse Eljuga for an outstanding tackling effort, 2 points to Lachlan McGufficke for a determined effort all game with Hudson Laird receiving 1 point for a great display of what hard straight running can produce.

A special mention to Alex Atkinhead and Lachlan Hemphill from the under 12’s who put in a great effort to back up and cover for some injuries.

Thanks also to the parents and friends who came along to the support the Colts, and the First aid and league safe officers for the day.

After the rough week of weather in Bombala you would have not been surprised if the junior football had been called off on Saturday Mmorning. With the Under 8s off to Canberra all eager it was hard work for the Under 7s and 10s back home in the cold and the mud.

However the under 7s never missed a beat - they were keen to get on the field so they could warm up. It was not long before Josh Tellis once again displayed his blistering speed and managed a couple of tries for his efforts. Another young man who really showed some heart was Joey Sullivan who decided he was a human brick wall stopping the opposition in their tracks with some crunching tackles. Ruby Smith, Jake Brown, Torrin Hillyer and Grace Brownlie also worked hard and put in their usual performance into the game. But this week’s Milo Man of The Match for getting more involved each week and slowly building skill and confidence goes to Cody Bruce. Cody only started playing this season but has really started to make a difference to this team. Well done to Cody on a great game and in the same week congratulations on being a big brother with the new baby home soon.

Under 10s were up against the wall this week when the Narooma boys arrived prepared for the cold and even excited about it. Narooma had really anticipated the weather and were even a little disappointed that there was not a cover of snow. Bombala on the other hand had had a week of the cold and miserable weather and just did not seem to be able to warm up and play with the strength they needed to take control of the game. Narooma had some real stand-out players

in this team, some who were very skilled and even performing moves like the chip and chase, playing well above their age level. Overall it was just a case of the Under 10s out-skilled and out-played this weekend by Narooma. That’s not to say that the effort was not there. In fact someone who put loads of effort in this week with defence and ball play was this week’s Milo Man of The Match Zayne PhillipsJones. Zayne has been working hard all season

and really trying to make his presents felt. Well done Zayne.

A lifetime of achievement through hard work and skill Nick Chapman Noeline Dahleen has had an illustrious career as a diver and swimmer, which has taken her internationally, and all around Australia.

Noeline began diving at the spit baths in Mosman as a small girl, where the height of the dive would change day to day depending on the tide.

Her story starts when she saw a shiny trophy at the baths and wanted it. Her mother said she would have to earn it.

Noeline had been involved in acrobatics so her mother told her ‘If you can do a somersault on the ground you can do it on a diving board’.

She then found out what was required for her to enter the competition but, to her dismay, on the day of the event she discovered that she would be required to do more dives than she had learnt.

By chance, the person who was scheduled to judge the event was sick so it was postponed for a week, allowing Noeline to learn the moves.

One week later she beat the senior state diving champion and started her impressive career as both a competitor and an entertainer.

One of Noeline’s greatest achievements is from when she was attending North Sydney Girl’s High.

She was named the senior diving champion, the senior swimming champion and the senior athletics champion in the one year, a feat t h a t

she believes has not been replicated to this date.

Once the war had ended, Noeline’s career resumed with a bang when she was named Australian Junior Diving Champion, Junior State Diving Champion, Senior State Champion, second Australian Senior Diving Champion and State Freestyle Junior Champion.

Based on her impressive list of achievements, she was then selected alongside the Australian Freestyle Champion for the 1946 Goodwill Tour of New Zealand, which lasted six weeks.

In 1949 Noeline was picked to compete in the Australian Championships in Brisbane. They did not have a diving pool so they erected building scaffolding on the edge of a disused quarry that had filled with water.

Divers were confronted with dark, muddy water and were given a special cloth to wipe the mud off their feet so they did not slip.

On top of this, the competitors had to be aware of an underwater ledge on the cliff face meaning they needed to pull up quickly when performing an inward dive or risk serious injury.

The divers were forced to climb the cliff to get back to the heavy planks that were used as boards, with no access to stairs or today’s standard of spring boards.

The lack of adequate facilities and makeshift diving boards highlights the difference in professionalism from today’s standard and is something that

impacted Noeline throughout her career.

As a competitor Noeline had an unusual career in that she was an all-round swimmer who specialised in diving.

Due to her ability to compete in a range of events she was selected for many competitions and given the opportunity to travel extensively, both in Australia and internationally, having visited New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Great Britain and France to compete.

She was selected for the 1950 British Empire Games in New Zealand where she won a silver medal for the 3m spring board and a bronze in the 10m platform.

She had only been selected for the springboard but found out she was entered in the high board as well in spite of not knowing one of the compulsory dives.

“I had never done one of the dives and they said to me ‘Well you’ve got four days. Learn,” she said.

Noeline describes herself as an athlete who “did the whole program”, competing in swimming and diving and often getting selected as it was cheaper to send one athlete who could do everything.

Her unique skill set meant she was again selected to go to New Zealand on another Goodwill Tour in 1951.

As an amateur, Noeline was allowed to accept two and sixpence to cover fares and entry. She was once sent a cheque for 15 shillings by the Sydney Teachers College but had to send it back or she would have been considered a professional. The lack of financial assistance and rules against accepting payment for competing meant Noeline had to put in the hard yards.

To support herself, she was working for a high profile company car dealer but was sacked when she asked for a fortnight off to support her gruelling training regime.

She also m a d e e n d s meet b y

doing leaving work as a comptomoter for various companies as the temporary nature of the work allowed her to make time for training.

Modern athletes are provided with government funding, prize money, sponsorship and endorsements allowing them to focus entirely on their sport.

A standard day for Noeline would involve waking up at 5am to walk a mile and a half to catch a train to Milson’s Point where she would train until 8am.

She would then catch a ferry to Circular Quay and work from 8.30 until 5.30 and catch a train from Wynyard to Granville to practise springboard then back to North Sydney, tram to The Spit, and walk another mile and a half in the dark, all while working a 48 hour week.

“It was tough going,” she said.

When training for the Olympics Noeline had to leave home and move to Melbourne and then find a new job to support herself.

Melbourne had the only heated pool and springboard in Australia that was available for people to train on.

This lack of facilities led to Noeline experimenting with a contraption where divers would be tied to scaffolding and jump head first in to a sand pit, hoping the man on the end of the rope was strong enough to prevent them from risking serious injury.

Aside from the lack of funding and facilities, each sport had to raise their own funding and Olympic athletes were often required to pay their own way.

Noeline was in contention for the 1948 and 1952 Olympic Games however only four women were selected due to the lack of funding.

The lack of professionalism in sport was also highlighted by the disorganisation that often occurred.

When competing in the 1950 British Empire Games Noeline and her peers were ready to depart Rose Bay on the Sunderland flying boat and had still not received their uniforms. They finally arrived on the terminal as they were flying out and they had to get changed then and there.

Noeline recalls her tracksuit being too big for her and the men’s hats not fitting properly due to poor organisation.

On this particular trip, the passengers had just fallen asleep on the flying boat when they were woken up by the steward who told them they had blow an engine 10 minutes before the point of no return, so they were transported back to Sydney.

Noeline’s mother spent the day tailoring all the girls’ uniforms and the divers went to the North Sydney pool for some extra training much to the entertainment of onlookers.

Diving and swimming was considered an exhibition sport when Noeline was competing, and when travelling, Noeline and her peers provided entertainment in the form of exhibitions.

Noeline and her friend Ken Bruce

were known as ‘The Diving Duo’ and gave exhibitions at a number of carnivals both internationally and around the country.

“Halfway through the event the lanes would be drawn apart and the exhibitions would occur,” she said.

“The Diving Duo’ used to perform complicated dives with extremely difficult timings.

For example, Noeline would perform a back pike one and a half and Ken would do a reverse one and a half.

“Nobody has ever done it as a man and a woman and no one has done it in that way,” she said.

Noeline was also a pioneer in the first water ballet, which paved the way for synchronised swimming, where she used to do a range of specialty dives.

The water ballet performers were known as the Jantzen Girls or Water Nymphs and Noeline used to dive off the 10m board into the circle of girls.

When Noeline finished competing as an amateur athlete she established her own swimming school, which she ran from 19521961.

There had been lots of deaths in rivers and lakes so she decided to once again hit the road and take swimming lessons to rural communities.

Noeline owned one of the first portable swimming pools in Australia and she offered the Department of Education her services to train teachers in giving swimming lessons.

They declined her offer as she was not a teacher, so she rang the president of the Queensland Swimming Association and said she would like to go and teach swimming in towns that did not have a swimming pool, covering over 2,500 miles towing her pool behind a Fiat 1100.

Since leaving the world of swimming and diving, Noeline has been active in many different roles but still remains an avid fan of the water.

She competed in the 1986 World Masters Championships in Tokyo for swimming events and in 2011 where she won three medals and, at 81 years of age, she swam in the 2km Strzelecki Dash in Lake Jindabyne where she was recognised with a best achievement award.

Her passion for the water continues to this day and she plans to begin swimming again soon for health reasons and as a way of returning to her passion for the water.

On a recent trip to Sydney, Noeline was invited to the North Sydney Olympic Pool and much to her surprise she discovered three large photos of her lining the entry hallway.

Noeline now spends her time managing the Grosvenor Kunama Galleries in East Jindabyne and has plans to return to the water as soon as she can.

Car rally legends Bob Watson and Graham Wallis were in Cooma on Monday June 6 as part of their reconnaissance for the Southern Cross GOLD Anniversary Rally which will pass through Cooma on Friday November 11.

Bob Watson is the Event Director for the Rally.

Bob is a former Australian and Victorian champion car rally driver, International rally winner, author of several motor sport books, part time motoring journalist, motor sport event organiser, and inaugural inductee into both the Australian and Victorian Rally Halls of Fame. Bob also co-drove a Holden to third place in the 1968 Hardie-Ferodo 500 (forerunner of the Bathurst 1000). Graham Wallis will be Clerk of Course for the Rally. Graham is a lifetime rally driver and Peugeot enthusiast, director of countless club events and popular and successful re-runs of the famous Redex, Ampol and Repco trials including the 60th Anniversary Re-run of the 1953 Redex trial that came through Cooma in June 2013. Graham has an unsurpassed reputation for finding amazing roads and competition venues, and his events achieve an ideal balance between competition and social interaction.

Bob and Graham were guest speakers at the Cooma Car Club meeting on Monday night and gave a very interesting talk about the rally. After staying in Cooma on Monday night, Bob and Graham drove to Adaminaby to reconnoitre two alternative roads for a timed stage to coincide with

the Yaouk loop component of the 1966 rally.

The Southern Cross Rally was Australia’s first truly International rally, attracting top factory teams and the world’s best rally drivers and was run from 1966 to 1980. The Southern Cross Gold Anniversary Rally will be a Touring Road Event, which will include a variety of timed competitive events each day. The Rally is intended for both past participants and those who missed the opportunity to compete when the event was run.

Entry to the event will be generally limited to road legal 2WD non-turbo models, with other entries accepted at the discretion of the organisers taking into account the historical significance of the car or crew.

The event will start in Albury on November 9 and proceed through Gippsland in Victoria. The drivers will overnight in Jindabyne on November 10 and drive to the Cooma Car Club clubhouse for breakfast on Friday morning November 11. This will be a great opportunity for Cooma residents to see the anticipated 40-60 cars and meet the drivers.

The cars will then drive to Adaminaby via Shannons Flat Road for a timed special stage, then on to Canberra.

After Canberra, the rally will proceed to Sydney, on to Port Macquarie and will finish in Coffs Harbour on November 19. The finish will coincide with the running of Rally Australia, the final round of the 2016 FIA World Rally Championship.

Stallions enjoy victory over Eden-Bermagui at home First Grade Cooma Stallions first grade have kept their top three hopes alive with a solid 44-24 win over Eden at the Cooma Showground on Sunday.

The Stallions started well with an early try to Timmy Knight after some good work from halfback Astin Nunan.

The match was evenly poised for the majority of the 80 minutes with Cooma applying good pressure and defending well.

Solid work from the forwards and good direction from Nunan and Kyle High set the platform for the outside

backs to make good metres and the Stalliosn ended up running away with the game in the back end of the second half.

The excitement from the round came from the introduction of ex NRL player Karlos Filiga to the Stallions roster.

Karlos made a massive impact in his first game for Cooma scoring a try and looked very strong in attack and defence.

“Karlos’ debut for the club is a very important moment. He dominated when he went on and brings a lot of class to the club,”

Stallions president Jason Kelly said.

Adam Walters and Timmy Knight were stand outs for the Stallions on the weekend and halves combination of Nunan and High is impressing every week.

Kelly also said the club is very well positioned and with Bateman’s Bay next weekend and the washout round against Merimbula the Stallions have a good run leading in to the semifinals.

“There’s lots of confidence going in to the semifinals. We’re back on track and still a reasonable chance of finishing second if we finish

Old boys gather for heritage game

The 2016 Cooma Stallions Heritage Round will be held on Saturday July 2 and will be recognising the 1975 Herman’s Heroes reserve grade team.

Herman’s Heroes were the first Stallions team to win a premiership and will be presenting the orange and white heritage jerseys to the current players.

After the match, the jumpers will be auctioned off at the Cooma Hotel post-match function with the money raised going back in to the club and the Stallions are hoping to secure some current NRL

players to be present on the night.

Stallions president Jason Kelly said that although the match is recognising the 1975 team, all past and current Stallions players and supporters are encouraged to come down to Cooma Showground on July 2 for a day of football starting at 1.30pm.

Pictured, from left, are Stallions president Jason Kelly, and old boys Wayne Lodge, Mel Storta, Scrooge Power, Col Holden, Mark Buckley, Herman Bruyns, Tony Stewart and Col Tozer.

All four grades are playing in Cooma this Sunday at the Showground from 10.30am in what promises to be an entertaining weekend of football.

Reserve Grade

The Stallions reserve grade side were at home in a must win match against the third placed Eden /Bermagui combined side.

It was to be a very entertaining match of a high standard and the platform for a victory was laid with some punishing defence. The

back row of Andrew Crimmins and Jesse Jackson was extremely effective in containing the opposition.

A positional change had Luke Bracher into half and his kicking game and defence also played a big part in the Stallions victory.

Whilst this victory keeps the Stallions in the semifinal contest they must maintain this form when they play Batemans Bay on June 26 at the Cooma Showground.

Kick off at 1pm.

Blue Heelers jam-packed day of league at Bombala Stockyards & Fencing) who whilst relatively new to the game is proving to be a great asset to this Reserve Grade team, always giving 100 percent commitment both in attack and defence.

On Saturday the rain held off to allow a great jam packed day of football at the Bombala Showground, starting early in morning with juniors and following through to seniors finishing up under lights in the evening.

First Grade As the Blue Heelers First Grade team took the field against the Pambula/Merimbula Bulldogs the cold air began to settle in. The anticipation of this game was high as Bombala would finally see consistency across the park with returned injured players such as Brett Hodak, Paul Perkins and Joe Bobbin. After a tough first 10 minutes of football it was the Bulldogs who capitalised on good field possession to score first points. With early pressure again put on their line, Bombala showed great defence to hold the away team up over the line and deny further points.

Andrew Anderson (Sponsored by Dane Cottrell Transport) was instrumental in leading the Bombala team forward but also showing solid and gutsy defensive efforts. A classy play between Paul Perkins and Andrew Anderson saw them take the ball short side on right side of field doing well to keep the ball in play, Andrew’s quick thinking to kick the ball down field earnt the home team another set of 6 in front of their try line.

The injection of Luke Platts saw him score on his first touch of the ball, muscling his way over not far from the sticks. The scores were locked at 6-6 in the 21st minute, but it was the away side who ran in two more unanswered tries before half time taking the score to 16-6. After half time the home team came out firing. The left hand combination of Fijian due Wame Belolevu and Samoni Biaukula as well as winger Charlie Lomas proved to be a real strike force for the Bombala team, often breaking the line and finding support out wide, both Wame and Charlie ran in points to level up the score 16-16 and momentum seemed to be heading back the home team way.

However a barrage of injuries to key players including work horse Malcolm Stone, Joe Bobbin and Brett Hodak left the home side depleted and the Merimbula/Pambula team capitalised on this with run away tries from intercepted balls and soft defence as the home team struggled to keep up.

The Bombala boys came close to scoring again on numerous occasions but small unforced errors denied them the win. Mitch Lynch was able to gain points for the home team in the dying minutes of the game but it was all too little too late and the coastal team took the win 32-20. Players player went to the gutsy efforts from Charlie Lomas (sponsored by D & L High Country Earthworks) out wide, 3 points went to the classy attacker and dominating defender Wame Belolevu (sponsored by Tim Stewart), 2 points went to Paul Perkins (sponsored by MCH Welding) whose noticeable direction and attack up the middle is a welcomed return and 1 point went to Chris Anderson (Sponsored by Clear Cut Electrical & Rural Services) who showed relentless defence and a gutsy effort in attack charging the ball back up the field for the home team.

The Bombala & District Football Club would like to thank all the supporters who came out on Saturday and welcome you all back for another exciting lot of home games this Saturday June 25 against the Bega Roosters and Chicks.

Saturday is an exciting round to attend as it is the ‘Heritage Round’ celebrating past Bombala football teams in particular the premiership winning team of 1991.

Past players are invited back to these games as the first grade team will be presented their jerseys from the former players and then play in the 1991 style jersey. This round will also see the club supporting Women in League and they encourage everyone to wear something pink with $5 donations going towards the Bombala Community Fund. The football club then welcomes everyone back to the Bombala RSL club where the prestigious heritage jerseys will be auctioned off to the highest bidders. Presentations and entertainment will continue on at the club and the theme for the night will be ‘Tight, Bright & Pink’. So come along for a great day of footy and entertainment next weekend.

Ladies League Tag The High Heelers had the tough task of playing two games back to back, starting with Candelo/Bemboka United and then Pambula/Merimbula Hot-doggies, but with a keen squad and plenty of subs the home team would be victorious on both occasions.

The first game saw plenty of flare, with successful set plays and plenty of pace out wide, the score was a convincing 54-4 in the Heelers favour. Player’s player for this game was Lucy Sellers (sponsored

by Bendoc Park Poll Herefords) who bagged herself a hat trick of tries and showed unreal commitment to tagging in defence. 3 points went to Amy Stone (sponsored by Bibbenluke Stock Horse Stud) who also bagged her own try and whose work rate was admirable both in defence and support play. 2 points went to Annie McGrath (sponsored by Hands On Bitz & Pizzas Bombala) who showed great skill and pace out wide, Annie not only scored her own try but was instrumental in converting most tries for the day. 1 point went to Kayley Keavey (sponsored by Dommos Shearing) whose running game has become an extreme asset to this High Heelers team, Keavey also scored her own try and converted it.

With slightly wearier legs the second game was always going to be a tougher task for the Heeler girls.

However the discipline and fitness of these girls is to be commended and they never looked like losing to the Hot Doggies team. The final score ended 22-0 to the High Heelers with Lucy Sellers yet again nominated for her efforts for player’s player, Lucy bagged another four pointer in this game and her never-say-die attitude in defence was outstanding.

Joint players player with Lucy for this second game was Abbey Kimber (sponsored by J & J Exterior & Interior Designs) whose classy ball work and ability to duck and weave through defenders saw her breaking the line on numerous occasions. 3 points went to Chloe Murphy (sponsored by Final Touches) always showing she is a force to be reckoned with both in attack and defence, 2 points went again to Annie McGrath showing great consistency and running game and 1 point was shared between Makayla Standen (sponsored by Hair on Main Street) who really stepped up running the ball with great determination as well as performing outstanding support play, Makayla bagged her own try for her efforts also, and Tash Stewart (sponsored by Raw Strength & Fitness) who is consistently displaying why she is a real strike force for this Heeler outfit, showing tenacity in defence and lightening pace running in attack.

Reserve Grade The Bombala boys took on the CandeloBemboka Reserve grade team with great passion and determination. Senior players Clay Stewart (sponsored by DF & D Stewart), Mick Sullivan and Clay Clear provided great leadership and direction to the relatively new team, each bagging their own tries on the day. With the half time score 18-0 in the home teams favour the boys went into the sheds with great spring in their step.

However with the opposing team that would score first points after the break proving to the Bombala lads they needed to keep working hard and not lose focus to take victory. And focus they did, young Alex Rosten scored three of his own tries for the day and Chris Halligan’s (sponsored by Village Ford) brute strength up the middle saw him gain points under the black dot. Enormous defensive efforts from Nat Jennings and Sam Sten could be heard and almost felt by the crowd. The final score was in Bombala’s favour 36-6. Players player and 3 points went to the lightning fast, point scoring machine Alex Rosten (sponsored by MK Walcott & Association), 2 points was awarded to work horse Clay Clear (sponsored

by Clear Cut Electrical & Rural Services) and 1 point went to Kitt Bryce (sponsored by Southern

Bushpigs lose a closely contested match in Taralga The Jindabyne Bushpigs travelled to Taralga to take on competition leaders Taralga Tigers in wet, soggy conditions.

Despite a spirited effort in defence, the Bushpigs went down 33-12.

The Bushpigs made the nearly four-hour journey to Taralga with a number of changes to its lineup.

Consistent performers Brad Sanders and Kris Jones were missing due to their seasonal work commitments, Jared “Pipi” Cummins started in fullback for the first time, and the club welcomed new front-rower Luke Hogarth who started from the bench.

It was an arm wrestle early on, with both teams playing it tight due to the conditions. Jindabyne stretched Taralga’s defence and went very close to scoring on a few occasions. Taralga had the vast majority of possession throughout the first half, which required some excellent commitment in defence from the Bushpigs. Simon Rudd (Snow FM), Nelson McPhee (Rob Kneller Foundation) and Isaac Maw (Jindabyne Butchery) delivered some massive shots to unsettle Ta r a l g a ’s

attack, whilst Ian Vagg’s (Broe Electrical) workrate was excellent with back to back efforts.

The Bushpigs were down to 14 men for 10 minutes with Liam Pepper (Alpine Law) sin binned, but the Bushpigs defence continued to scramble. Despite this, Taralga crossed three times for a 19-0 lead at half-time.

The second half provided a few more opportunities for the Bushpigs. Centre Adrian Butters (Marshall Batteries) beat a number of defenders to score in the left corner following an intercept to fly half Matt Want (Siesta Villa). Fullback Jared Cummins (Rhythm Sports) converted from the sideline to keep the Bushpigs in touch.

A second Bushpigs try came following an excellent platform from the Bushpigs scrum, when half back Connor

Duncombe (The Brumby Bar and Bistro) combined with Mitch Buckingham (Woolworths) for the winger to score in the right corner.

Taralga managed two more converted tries in the second half to remain beyond reach.

Despite the loss, coach Matthew Caldwell was pleased with the team’s commitment in defence and at scrum time.

Coach’s points went to Simon Rudd (Snow FM) (3 points), Isaac Maw (Jindabyne Butchery) (2 points), and Adrian Butters (Marshall Batteries) (1 point). Simon Rudd (Snow FM) was also awarded Player’s Player.

Lady Tigers first 2016 loss

The Cooma TIgers Under 16 team came away with a resounding 12-0 victory over Radford College at Nijong Oval on Saturday.

The win helps the Under 16s secure their spot at the top of the table, having won five from six matches with a goal difference of 23. The Tigers will play Monaro Panthers at Nijong this Saturday.

On Sunday the Cooma Lady Tigers had their first loss of the season going down 3-2 to Belsouth.

The wet and sloppy conditions played havoc for the Tigers. Although after 20 minutes of back and forth play, Cooma were first to put points on the board with a great pass from Miruna Moruz to the feet of Hymne Truter who popped the ball to the corner of goals.

The excitement was soon over when Belsouth took control of the ball from kick off and scored, less than one minute later to make it 1-1.

Alicia Rampal found a great hole in Belsouth’s defence but was questionably called offside.

Again Miruna Moruz found herself with room to move on the wing and from a difficult angle she managed to send the ball soaring past the keeper into the net to make it 2-1 leading up to half time.

With time winding down Tamara Lloyd found her self with an opportunity to make it 3-1 when the goalkeeper was way off her mark.

Tamara who was just short of halfway sent the ball flying over her head but just right of the goals.

Half time scored remained with the Lady Tigers up 2-1.

Second half started much like the first with strong attack and defence from both sides, but eventually Belsouth took advantage of a tired Tigers defence to level the score.

This seemed to spur Cooma up with some great attempts from Miruna Moruz, Hymne Truter and Tamara Lloyd but unfortunately they were unable to get a result. Belsouth secured the win 10 minutes out and walked away with the 3 points to give Cooma their first loss of the season.

The ladies took the loss hard as they didn’t perform as well as they could of. Through some hard trainings this week they will be looking to redeem themselves and get back to their winning ways next week in Canberra against the UC Pumas.
