Involving the community in the wild dog discussion South East Local Land Services (LLS) hosted a workshop at the Alpine Hotel, Cooma, yesterday to discuss the wild dog problem facing the local rural community. The expected turnout was almost doubled with about 60 members of the community participating in the workshop.

The attendees were broken into four groups to discuss the current issues surrounding the wild dog situation in the local area. Some of the main concerns that were identified

included insufficient funding for pest animal controls, a lack of a whole landscape approach, pest animal control job security and too much red tape.

LLS South East General Manager Derek Larsen said that the aim of the workshop was to get the community working together to come up with some practical solutions for these sorts of problems.

With such a great turn out, National Parks Community and

Stakeholder Engagement Leader Stuart McMahon said that he hoped it would be a valuable exercise. “Collectively, we’ve got hundreds of years of experience in the room, and I hope we can utilise that to come up with some good solutions,” he said.

This was the first such workshop to take place this week, with another being held in Braidwood today and a final one in Mittagong on Friday.

Review into burdens on councils Weight challenge results IPART to undertake the review in response to a recommendation by the Independent Local Government Review Panel.

Dr Boxall said this was an opportunity for councils to raise concerns about obligations imposed by the State Government and to engage with IPART on options to remove or reduce any unnecessary or excessive burdens. “Planning, reporting and compliance obligations on councils may be necessary to achieve state and local government economic, social and environmental objectives, but they must be efficiently imposed,� Dr Boxall said. “This review will determine where there are opportunities to remove or reduce p l a n n i n g , reporting or compliance burdens on councils. “To do so, we need information and examples from the local government sector, NSW Government agencies and the broader Tel 6452 2334 Fax 6452 2134 community to Email oplay@bigpond.net.au ensure that any 69 Massie Street COOMA NSW

The Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) is calling for public submissions for its review into reporting and compliance burdens that the NSW Government imposes on local government.

Releasing the Issues Paper, Reporting and compliance burdens on Local Government, IPART Chairman Dr Peter Boxall said the review was established to identify any inefficient or unnecessary planning, reporting or compliance burdens councils faced as a result of NSW Government legislation and policies.

The Premier commissioned

YOU WANT IT? WE CAN GET IT

recommendations for change do achieve the best possible outcomes.�

Dr Boxall said IPART was seeking submissions about: • the planning, reporting or compliance obligations imposed specifically on councils by NSW Government agencies that are creating unnecessary or excessive burdens • the impact on councils of these planning, reporting or compliance obligations, and • how these planning, reporting or compliance burdens could be removed or reduced.

The release of the Issues Paper is the first stage of IPART’s public consultation program for the review. Public submissions close on 14 August 2015.

IPART has sent a questionnaire requesting more detailed information to each NSW council and responses are also due on 14 August 2015.

Additional opportunities to review and provide comment will occur with the release of IPART’s Draft Report, due out in January 2016. A public hearing will be held in Sydney in early February 2016, during which interested parties may present their views in person.

IPART’s Final Report will be provided to the NSW Government in April 2016.

The current Issues Paper, along with further information on IPARTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s review, is available at IPARTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website <http://www. ipart.nsw.gov.au>.

Over an eight-month period, Cooma competed against four other NSW rural towns in the hope of taking out the 2015 NSW Healthy Town challenge.

The twin towns of Tottenham and Tullamore from Western NSW have won the inaugural challenge, edging out Cooma and other fellow competitors Bomaderry, Yamba and Wellington.

The winning town was calculated based on the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collective progress towards a healthy weight, combined with the number of people who enrolled in the Get Healthy Information and Coaching ServiceÂŽ.

Cooma with a population of 9,772, had 213 people engaged in the challenge and the average weight lost per person was 1.2kg.

Despite, Cooma not winning the overall challenge, organisers have deemed the challenge to have been a success. Health Promotion Officer, Natania Copp stated: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The substantial health behaviour changes of residents are evident around town.

There have been significant increases in the number of residents using the walking paths, cycling paths and outdoor fitness stations around town.

Even in the local shopping centres, on occasion, families can be seen reading the nutritional panels on food labelsâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cooma was one of the only towns to have an actively engaged Facebook group from start to finish.

The Facebook group success was a pleasant surprise to organisers as participants spontaneously shared their stories and uploaded photos of their weight loss journeyâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In terms of establishing partnerships for sustainable outcomes, Cooma far outweighed the other townsâ&#x20AC;? said Ms Copp.

As part of the challenge, Cooma established the Cooma Get Healthy Committee. The committee was

chaired by Southern NSW Local Health District and consisted of representatives from: Cancer Council NSW; Cooma Community Garden; Cooma Consultative Committee; Cooma Monaro Shire Council; Cooma Lions Club; Monaro Committee for Cancer Research; South East Resource Recovery Group; and Southern NSW Medicare Local. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Committee produced three publications: a Nutrition Policy Tip Sheet; a recommendations paper for Cooma Monaro Shire Council on how to further create healthier towns; and a NSW Healthy Town Challenge Report that will be available to residentsâ&#x20AC;?.

The success of the Committee highlights some of Coomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s key assets. Cooma is place where residents acknowledge the friendliness of the people, a volunteering spirit, and community mindedness where everyone is welcome and people care about each other. The Committee extends a warm congratulations to Tottenham and Tullamore, but also to all of the participants in the first ever NSW Healthy Towns Challenge.

Pictured, Mayor Dean Lynch weighing in.

Councillors remuneration Cooma-Monaro Shire councillors have voted for a two percent increase in the remuneration they are paid.

The matter was raised at the July ordinary meeting of council.

Councillors were advised that under Section 248 and 249 of the Local Government Act 1993, the Local Government Remuneration Tribunal they could be paid a maximum of $11,010 and the mayor a maximum total of $35,040.

They were receiving $9570 and $20,892 respectively, with no increase for the last three years.

An increase of two percent had been allowed in the budget, which was out together before the tribunalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report was released.

After some discussion, councillors voted to accept the two percent increase, which pouts their remuneration at $9761.40 and $21,309.84 respectively.

Chinese flag raising ceremony The Chinese national flag was publicly raised for the first time in Australia at the Cooma Rotary market on Sunday. The flag was added to Centennial Park’s avenue of flags in memory of local accountant Patrick Kwan to recognise the contribution of the Chinese to the construction of the Snowy Hydro Electric Scheme.

With distinguished guests including the Deputy Consul-General Mr Xuejun Tong, ACT Chair of the Australian Red Cross Sam Wong and Chinese community representative, Mr Andrew Yan. The Deputy Consul-General said that although it was a very cold day in Cooma, he could feel the warmth of the community.

Member of the NSW Legislative Council, Bronnie Taylor was also at the ceremony and welcomed the many members of the Chinese community who had travelled from Canberra for the occasion. Former Labor representative Steve Whan, having worked closely with Patrick Kwan over the years, also spoke at the ceremony commending the Kwan family for

following through Mr Kwan’s projects and passions.

Mr Kwan’s wife, Joo-Siew Kwan said that it was not until her dear husband passed away that she truly understood why the addition of the Chinese flag to the avenue of flags was so important to him. “I started to read all his historical books that he had by the bed, and I realised

why he was always talking about this flag, and why he felt it was so important to have it included,” she said.

The ceremony was followed by some beautiful Chinese dancing by the New Star Dance Group from Canberra, and a special ribbon dance by JooSiew Kwan.

Local Jindy man to the rescue In the early hours of last Wednesday morning, local Jindabyne man Craig Gammell came to the rescue of a Taiwanese tourist who found himself in a sticky situation. Having gone for a drive after finishing work at the local bakery to take photos of the night sky, Chu Wen Chien took a wrong turn and ended up getting bogged about 5km out of Jindabyne. Unsure of what to do, he posted a cry for help on the Jindabyne Noticeboard facebook page.

“Excuse me !!! Help !!!

Does anyone has 4 WD car and rope That could help me with my car : “( ….

I just drived down a hill but can’t drive up….

The ground is too muddy and wet…

My car which is (Front-wheel drive) can not move….

Help …… (the hill is only 5 km far away from Jindabyne) (My phone is 04********) So sorry.

Who can help me ?

I am thankful who can help me. :” ( Having woken up at about 3am, 32-year-old Craig spotted the

post and got in touch with the young tourist asking for an exact location. When Chu Wen Chien responded with some Google map screen images of his location, Craig responded with “Righto, wait at your car.”

Craig then came to Chu’s aid, who had been stuck in minus temperatures for about four hours.

Craig hooked up his snatch straps and pulled Chu’s Mitsubishi Magna out of the mud with his 4WD ute.

Very appreciative, Chu kept those following the facebook post up to date on the progress with photos of the rescue and this post: “Finally , I came back Jindy safely !!!

Thanks handsome guy Craig Gammell , came and helped me at the crazy time. (around 5 am !) “” I very appreciate that “” !!!!

Next time , if I want to take photos with galaxy , I will go to safety place !!!

Thanks !!!

Jindabyne is full of love and warmth !!!”

With the story being picked up by the Daily Mail and airing on Win News last Thursday night, Craig has been overwhelmed by all the media attention.

Teachers return to the classroom to learn new skills

General Manager, JOE VESCIO

On Friday, 10 July Snowy River Shire Council hosted the Local Government Professionals Regional Roadshow on Change Management at the Berridale Hall.

This was a very timely workshop given the current climate within Local Government and the Fit for the Future reforms. It was also an opportunity to network with our neighbouring Councils and to take advantage of a shared service resource being offered in our region.

The workshop targeted team leaders, supervisors and managers and provided information on the nature of organisation al change, the steps involved and ways to manage change. The main focus was on the human aspect of change and the facilitator provided tips and tricks for staff to take back to use in the workplace.

I also gave a sector update and included information on my role as a Local Government Professional NSW Board Member and how they are focussed on assisting Councils through the Fit for the Future reform journey.

Overall we had 18 staff attend the workshop and we thank the team at Local Government Professionals for providing Snowy River Shire Council the opportunity to host the workshop and for making available a very timely session to our staff.

We also thank the staff from Bombala and Queanbeyan Councils for attending on the day.

Monaro High and JCS Learning and Support Teacher Holly Regan delivering her workshop on Adjustments and Differentiation.

Recognising the signs of teenage depression, developing personalised learning plans for Indigenous students and learning how to use Google Apps in the classroom are some of the skills teachers across the Monaro region learned when they returned to the classroom as students last week.

Every public school teacher from across the Snowy Mountains and Monaro region attended a day of learning at Monaro High School on July 13 where they were presented with the latest skills to provide learning and support for students with a disability, learning difficulty or behaviour support needs.

Berridale Public School’s kindergarten teacher Petrina Baff said a session she attended on how food can prevent disease and affect children’s behaviour was invaluable and she was keen to transfer her new-found knowledge into the classroom.

“It really highlighted how important a child’s diet is and can correspond to how settled they are in the classroom,” Mrs Baff said.

“We can teach kids how to read food labels and how to be label detectives.”

Jindabyne Central School (JCS) Year Five teacher Simone Dixon said a workshop on Differentiation

in Numeracy gave her new tools to implement in her classroom.

“It’s all about making learning accessible to all students and to ensure all students are successful in maths,” Mrs Dixon said.

“Some students are visual learners, some are hands-on learners so they need different teaching methods but in the end we want to ensure they all reach the same outcome.”

Other workshops included suicide intervention with young people, which explored risk factors as signs that could indicate a young person may be suicidal.

Google Apps Champion and JCS teacher Kelly Burke presented a workshop on Google Apps and how they can be used in the classroom while Helen Dudeney from the Australian Gifted Support Centre hosted a session on gifted children who are not necessarily high achievers and twice exceptional students - gifted students with learning disabilities.

District Guidance Officer Ros Bailetti showed teachers how to apply principles of positive psychology to education – highlighting that academic success does not always lead to happiness and giving teachers tools to ensure students thrive rather than survive.

All 16 schools in the Monaro region attended the School Development Day, which was part of the Every Student, Every School initiative, whereby each school in NSW is being required to

implement effective learning and support for students with additional learning needs.

Melanie Meers, the director of Every Student, Every School, gave the keynote address where she provided an understanding of the reform and emphasised the importance of ensuring every student is healthy, happy, engaged and successful.

The Every Student, Every School Wellbeing Framework equips schools and their communities to support students at each stage of their development and to do this through quality teaching, learning and engagement.

Schools will achieve this through planning and decision-making at the local level to meet the needs of their students. This work is underpinned by high standards, clear expectations and counselling and wellbeing resources. The schools involved in the development day were Adaminaby Public School, Berridale Public School, Bibbenluke Public School, Bombala High School, Bombala Public School, Bredbo Public School, Cooma Public School, Cooma North Public School, Dalgety Public School, Delegate Public School, Jerangle Public School, Jindabyne Central School, Michelago Public School, Monaro High School, Nimmitabel Public School and Numeralla Public School.

Charles Davis - capturing the beauty of Snowy wildlife - Elle Mackintosh

BOMBALA COUNCIL GENERAL MANAGER: Ms Ngaire McCrindle

Council recently received advice that the Roads to Recovery funding from the Commonwealth Government has been increased for the next two years. This means that Bombala Council will receive an extra $300,000 in the current financial year and an extra $700,000 in 2016/17 to be spent on roads. Council will be considering how best to spend this money for the benefit of the community over the next few months as it is extra to the current budget.

On the subject of road maintenance there are a number of roads that have suffered with the recent weather and traffic and Council staff will be progressively repairing the worst sections as time and availability of plant permits. The construction crew is still bitumen sealing a section of Delegate Road south of Delegate, which will be completed shortly.

As winter comes to a close property owners are reminded that this is the best time of year for weed controls, other than grassy weeds such as Serrated Tussock and African Lovegrass. To get best results for noxious weed control the plants need to be destroyed before they set seed in spring.

Again it is the time of year that rate notices are sent out and this year residents in Bombala and Delegate may notice that Council is charging a stormwater levy of $20. This charge will add to the funding available to improve the stormwater drainage in these two towns.

A passionate and enthusiastic snowboarder, Charlie injured himself on the mountains in Canada six years ago.

Temporarily trapped in Canada with nothing to do, a new hobby sparked to life in photography and Charlie has never looked back.

Being the sixth generation to have grown up on his family’s sheep property, Yalcowinna, 14km north of Cooma, Charlie says that his life has always had a focus on animals. It is this understanding of native Australian animals and their environment that has allowed Charlie to capture such beautiful and natural images.

You can see some of Charlie’s stunning pieces on display in the Thredbo Gallery and the Two Before Ten Café in Aranda in Canberra.

He also has some new additions at the Nimmitabel Bakery, including the Praise To The Rain photograph that came first in the monochrome category of the Australian Geographic ANZANG Nature Photographer of the Year competition. Charlie is also a finalist in this year’s competition, and is planning on travelling to Adelaide for the winner announcements at the end of the month.

Charlie says that the Snowy Mountains and Monaro region provide a unique landscape to photograph.

“The local area really provides a niche for me, especially at this time of year,” he says, “Being able to capture stereotypical Australian animals in snowy conditions is something

that really grabs the viewers attention, particularly internationally. They are not used to seeing our animals in those sorts of conditions.”

Charlie says that one of the challenges of being a professional photographer is the growth of social media and the commonality of smart

a photograph is quite a big deal these days.”

Charlie loves photography for many reasons. Not only does it give him the opportunity to travel and see some amazing things, but it also allows him to share that experience with others.

“It’s great when you get

phones. With the internet in our pockets, we are flooded with images everyday, so in order to stand out Charlie says that photographers need to create something different.

“Being able to capture something that breaks the normal is really important in all areas of photography,” he says, “With so many images available out there, just selling

to go and see something incredible first hand, but when you capture a photograph of it as well, you get to really share that experience with others. It is more powerful than simply telling them about what you saw. You get to actually show them.”

With two aunts, a grandfather and a sister who are also artists, Charlie has

been surrounded by creative people his whole life.

He also attributes his dyslexia to his creativity helping him see things that others don’t. Later next year, he and his family will host an exhibition of their works in the Raglan Gallery.

Charlie is looking forward to displaying his artwork along with his family, although he says that the experience will be interesting as there is a little bit of rivalry and competition between them, which keeps them all on their toes.

One of Charlie’s proudest moments has been this year when six of his images were chosen to be included in the top 1000 photographs entered in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition run by the Natural History Museum in London.

“It’s like the Oscars of photography,” says Charlie.

Charlie also did some photography for R M Williams recently, covering the Man from Snowy River Festival held in Corryong.

His work was published in the June/ July issue of Outback Magazine.

So it is onwards and upwards for this bright and talented local photographer.

His work allows us to appreciate the beauty of the natural world around us, which we too often take for granted.

Inquiry into service coordination in communities A new Parliamentary inquiry is aiming to improve the way government and nongovernment services are delivered to those who need them most.

NSW Nationals MP and Chair of the Social Issues Committee, Hon Bronnie Taylor MLC, said the inquiry was an important opportunity for regional communities and organisations.

“We know that so often, an issue doesn’t need more money thrown at it – it’s about making the services and programs we already have work together to get the outcomes our communities deserve”, Mrs Taylor said.

The committee will assess whether government agencies and non-government service providers are coordinating to best meet the needs of their clients.

“We need to ensure all these providers, including health services, schools, the courts, and family and community services are working together to get the best outcomes for those who rely on them”, Mrs Taylor said.

The committee will also look at the barriers to effective service coordination, including the impact that privacy laws

Investing in quality teaching on the Monaro Monaro primary schools will benefit from a NSW Government program that enables some of the best public school teachers to mentor and coach other teachers, improving the results of students.

The Member for Monaro John Barilaro said the $224 million Quality Teaching, Successful Students package begins this term and will benefit thirteen schools in the Monaro.

Mr Barilaro said a recent threeyear study of 6,000 NSW public school teachers found that collaborating with colleagues was the most significant professional learning practice for primary teachers.

“This initiative, made possible by NSW signing up to the Gonski agreement, gives schools an opportunity they have been seeking for years – to use their best, most experienced teachers to improve teaching and learning

may have on service providers talking to each other and coordinating services for their clients.

“How can people in difficult circumstances get the help they need if the different organisations providing that assistance don’t – or can’t – talk to one another. You need a coordinated approach to solve complex issues”, Mrs Taylor said.

Mrs Taylor said the committee was still receiving submissions.

“Any individual or organisation is welcome to make a submission. If they have any experiences or ideas of how our government and non-government providers can work together better, they should consider having their say”.

Submissions can be made until Sunday 16 August. For more information or to have your say, visit the committee website at www.parliament. nsw.gov.au/socialissues.

The Health Star Rating.

The more stars, the healthier the choice. Simple.

in every classroom,” Mr Barilaro said.

“Expert educators have knowledge and skills that are even more valuable when they are shared with their colleagues.

“It’s great to see that schools in our region will benefit from this program.

Improving the skills of our teachers will ultimately help students achieve better results.”

The program will enable selected teachers to: • Mentor and coach other teachers; • Observe teachers in their classrooms and demonstrate effective teaching strategies; • Monitor student performance data across the school to ensure teachers are focused on areas of need; and • Collaborate within their school and with colleagues in other schools.

Jim tells of his aviation adventures Debbie loved the dollars Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth, And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds, --and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of So did Jim Hynd begin his talk to the Cooma Probus Club in July, as he spoke of his years in the field of aviation, from his earliest days beside an airfield in Scotland wishing for wings and a commercial pilot’s licence, through to arriving in South Australia where his dreams came true.

The post-war period in Britain was so full of retired pilots that breaking into the profession was very difficult, and an adverse medical report (high blood pressure) at the tender age of 16 seemed to end the dream; but in S.A. he discovered that at the Royal Aero Club he could get a private pilot’s licence. He did not need a medical, only a week’s wages for an apprentice for 50 weeks at an hour a week!

His first flight was in a towed glider- a cable is wound on to a winch at high speed and this is supposed to allow the pilot to get the glider into the air and go searching for thermals. But at 400 feet the cable snapped... “Point the nose down, Jim, to pick up speed..” but as all he could see was the very hard-looking runway, all Jim could think was that his first flight was also going to be his last.

The RAC had a small squadron of DeHavilland Chipmunk DHC-1 ex-military aircraft, designed as fully aerobatic trainers and known as “the poor man’s Spitfire”. Training involved stalls, spins and aerobatics, and so in 18 months Jim became the proud owner of a private pilot’s licence.

A Victa Airtourer 100 replaced the Chipmunks and being asked to fly one from Adelaide to Sydney and return for maintenance helped with the finances required to go on to a commercial pilot’s licence. 10 hours of night flying, cross-country flights, instrument flying and a written exam are also needed, and the negative response of the flight examiner did nothing for his nerves; but he passed nevertheless. (His blood pressure was somehow normal).

Now to find a real job! His first instructor had set up a company to fly helicopters, and Jim was thrilled when asked to learn to fly these machines in Melbourne. Resigning from his present job, he drove out to the airport to arrange for his trip to Melbourne only to find that the flight examiner, who had been so negative about his flying, had just crashed the helicopter! And his job.

Enter Kevin Rasheed, who was using a Cessna 182 operating out of Wilpena Chalet, in the Flinders Ranges, flying tourists over the Wilpena Pound.

Jim became his commercial pilot, flying proudly for a Company that would, in 2014, be recognised as being only second in age to QANTAS as a commercial venture with an air operator’s certificate.

Kevin, with his vast experience as a bush pilot became a mentor for Jim as his range extended from the Pound to Birdsville, Broken Hill and Lake Eyre.

In an unofficial partnership with John Lyons, Jim then built up North Air Charters, flying a Cessna U206B out of Andamooka for 2 years. His next ‘plane, with retractable undercarriage, was a Cessna 210, thence to a twin-engine Comanche. A Cessna 337 with centreline thrust, and a Cessna 310Q, a machine with the speed of a cruising Spitfire, and his last one, a Cessna 402B, followed. He also flew nearly all of the Beechcraft and Piper aircraft.

Now he is back to gliders, out of Bunyan, but still experienced a thrill to sit in the cockpit of a Concord (how he managed the tiny space available for the pilot he is still not sure) and take a seat in a Vulcan bomber. A visit to the Dam Buster’s memorial, stopping at Nigger’s gravestone, was also a moving occasion.

Thank you Jim, for your talk, and for leaving us with Leonardo da Vinci’s pronouncement: “Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return”.

Men from Snowy River March Chilling spate of One hundred years ago in July 1915 the call went out to Australia to make up for the terrible losses in European and middle Eastern theatres of war.

Britain asked Australia to provide more men and the idea of ‘snowball’ recruitment marches aimed at rural men, was put forward.

Now in 2015 we want to honour the men who answered this call and left their small country towns, their farms and their families to march great distances to the nearest training centres and from there to overseas service.

The Men From Snowy River left the tiny village of Delegate in January 1916. Their march began with 12 local men, by the time they marched into Goulburn three weeks later their numbers had swelled to 144 men, the rest of the recruits joining the march at centres along the way.

In November 2015 we will honour these men by re-enacting this March. Much of the preliminary work has been done, but one of the most important tasks is now in front of us - ensuring that we have plenty of volunteers to march, support and provide services along the route.

The Men From Snowy River Route March will leave Delegate on November 1.

It will pass through Craigie, Mila, Bombala, Bibbenluke, Nimmitabel, Cooma, Bredbo, Michelago, Queanbeyan, Bungendore and Tarago before arriving in Goulburn on November 10.

From Goulburn the group will travel to Sydney Central by train and then join other re-enactment marches to gather at Hyde Park for the November 11 Remembrance Day ceremonies.

Men or women can join in the march at any of the centres along the way and can find out from their own community organisers how they can participate.

Please join us for this unique and meaningful commemoration.

A spate of fires in homes over the past week and another forecast cold snap over coming days has prompted Fire & Rescue NSW (FRNSW) to warn NSW residents to take every precaution to avoid a fire in the home.

Firefighters have been called to more than 70 home fires since the weekend when temperatures started to drop.

Acting FRNSW Commissioner Jim Smith said people needed to take the risk of a fire breaking out in their home seriously.

“Since the recent spate of cold weather across NSW, FRNSW has attended numerous fires and concerns for welfare resulting from the increased use of heaters, electric blankets, and improper use of unsafe heating methods,” Acting Commissioner Smith said.

“Many people don’t realise that winter is the worst time of the year for home fires.

“Home fires in the cooler months are often far more serious and are more likely to result in injuries and deaths.

Only last weekend a man tragically died in a unit fire at Hamilton South.”

“I appeal to families not to put themselves or their families at risk. Keep looking when cooking and do not leave heaters, dryers, electric blankets, or any other electrical device unattended. Always turn them off when leaving home or going to bed. Also remember to check the electrical cords for fraying and other damage.”

Firefighters also want you to remember that outdoor heating and cooking appliances must not be brought indoors. This includes appliances that use ‘heat beads’ or LPG as a fuel source.

More firefighter home fire safety tips: • Keep clothing and other flammable materials at least one metre from your heater • Clean out the clothes dryer filter after every load • Don’t overload your powerboards • Never use wheat bags in bed • Ensure you have a working smoke alarm and a practised home escape plan • If a fire does occur, get out, stay out and call Triple Zero (000)

the

postman calls

The Postman is a tad concerned the NSW Premier Mick Baird is calling for an increase in GST to 15 percent.

He says the increased revenue would go towards providing better health services.

The Postman believes that if GST is increased by five percent, the health services won’t be needed because people on low incomes, such as aged pensioners, will probably either starve and/or freeze to death.

It’s all very well bumping up a tax if the people paying it can afford it. It is just crazy if they can’t.

So as to that suggestion Mr Baird, two words, the second one being “off”!

Mick Fanning certainly had a close encounter with that shark in South African waters this week.

He was very lucky.

But, do we have to have the same bit of footage broadcast about 10 gerzillion times on every TV channel in the country?

It can’t be helping coastal holiday spots, as people keep rabbiting on about the dangers sharks pose to swimmers.

Reaching out is important Editor, This year, over three million Australians will experience depression or anxiety or both. Today, seven Australians will die by suicide It may be someone in your family, a person you work with or a mate on your footy team. You may have noticed something is amiss, but you’re not sure if you should say something or mind your business.

You’re not the only one who feels this way. Many people don’t know what to say or worry they could make the situation worse by approaching the person.

However, reaching out to someone you’re worried about is often the catalyst for that person starting on the road to recovery.

To help people to have what could be a difficult chat, beyondblue has produced a guide on how to Have the Conversation.

The guide, which was funded with donations from the Movember Foundation, explains how having a conversation can help people feel less alone and more supported in getting help for anxiety and depression, and what to do if your attempt to have the conversation is met with a bad reaction.

A recent independent evaluation of beyondblue’s Have the Conversation resource found it has been accessed on the website almost 900,000 times,

with half of surveyed users going on to have a conversation with someone who they were concerned about or broaching the subject of their own mental health.

The evaluation also found the guide positively influenced up to 1.3 million conversations by improving how people engaged their friends and loved ones.

These positive results show how effective Have the Conversation has been at making people feel more supported and at prompting people to seek help for themselves or others.

If you are struggling a bit, but don’t know how to reach out for support, or you’re concerned about someone else, but don’t know what to say, visit www. beyondblue.org.au/conversations And don’t forget that you can speak to a mental health professional any time, day or night, by contacting beyondblue’s Support Service on 1300 22 4636.

It’s better to put your hand up if you need help, or lend a hand if someone is struggling, than not to say anything at all because you’re not sure what to say.

Depression and anxiety won’t get better without help – and if left undiagnosed and untreated, these conditions can become disabling or even lead to someone thinking about suicide.

So please, check out our resources and have the conversation.

Georgie Harman Beyond Blue

Thanks for the support Editor, On behalf of Cancer Council NSW, I would like to thank the communities on the Far South Coast for getting together throughout May and June to support Cancer Council’s Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea. Many locals, businesses and schools in the Far South Coast hosted a Biggest Morning Tea during May and June, helping the Southern Region raise over $350,000.

Whether a large community gathering, an office morning tea, or just a catch up with friends, every Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea held during May or June was a way for locals to show their support for everyone in the community who has been affected by cancer.

In the Southern NSW region alone, it is predicted that by 2016, 1,506 people will be diagnosed with cancer

in a single year, with 482 deaths expected.

Funds raised from Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea this year will allow Cancer Council NSW to continue to fund vital cancer research, and local prevention, advocacy, information and support services to help support the 1 in 2 Australians who will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85.

Every morning tea matters, and so I say thank you once again to the Far South Coast communities for supporting Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea and for their ongoing support of Cancer Council NSW. Jennifer Menchin Community Events Coordinator Cancer Council NSW Southern Region

Raglan Gallery prepares for annual NAIDOC exhibition August is National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) month at the Raglan Gallery and Cultural Centre.

This will be the fourth annual exhibition featuring local and regional artists celebrating the history and contribution of Indigenous people through artwork created by them.

Artists exhibiting this year will include Jandemarra Wall, Janeen Robb, Pauline Syron-Coxon, Peter Swain, Angel John Gallard, and former Cooma resident Alice Williams. They paint in a variety of styles and media from traditional

to contemporary, from ochres to acrylics.

The display will not include Indigenous artefacts as in previous years.

These were always generously loaned by Neville Locker from his extensive historical collection which was sold recently. However, the Raglan is hopeful that some other interpretative material and works by several emerging artists will also be part of the exhibition.

The NAIDOC theme this year is We all Stand on Sacred Ground: Learn, Respect and Celebrate. It highlights the strong spiritual and cultural connection between people, the

land and sea, and honours those who work to preserve sacred and significant sites and stories. The theme also highlights and celebrates the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;handoverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of Uluru to traditional owners 30 years ago.

Everyone is invited to attend on Sunday August 2 at 10am as the exhibition commences with a smoking ceremony and Welcome to Country followed by a formal opening.

Eclectic Ceramics, featuring works by local and regional ceramicists, and Post Colonial Works by Kate Litchfield and Gillian Jenkins continue at the Raglan

until July 25. These works also evoke connections to earth, flood and fire, and the pathways we make through the modern landscape.

The NAIDOC exhibition will continue until Sunday August 30.

The gallery looks forward to welcoming you again at this exhibition.

Pictured, Kate Litchfields Song Lines and fence lines, Clarence River Catfish and Maryke Hendersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grey Ghost Gum series.

Boost your tax return in 5 simple steps With the Australian Taxation Office revealing it will speak to more than 350,000 taxpayers this year in a bid to crack down on dubious tax returns, it is now more important than ever to understand exactly what can and cannot be claimed.

Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said planning ahead can help taxpayers maximise their refund and ultimately end up with more money in their back pocket. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those who start thinking about their tax return before the end of the financial year often end up getting the most money back,â&#x20AC;?

Mr Flavell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Simple things like knowing your budget and whether or not you can afford to pay for certain expenses before 30 June, thus increasing what you can claim, can help taxpayers to grow their overall refund. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With an increasing number of taxpayers submitting their tax return online these days, it is important to know what you can do in order to maximise your refund. Those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know exactly what they are able to claim can end up short-changing

themselves.â&#x20AC;?

To help Australians prepare for tax time and maximise their refund, Mortgage Choice has created five steps that all taxpayers can follow:

now will help you to decrease the surcharge you have to pay. Better yet, provided your health cover is continuous, you will be able to avoid paying any surcharge in the next financial year.

Step 1: Lodge early While you might be dreading going through the paperwork and receipts for your tax return, the sooner you start the process, the better off you will be. Instead of allowing your tax refund to accrue interest in the Australian Taxation Officeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coffers, complete your tax return early and let your refund boost your bottom line. You can use your tax return to pay off your credit card (thus saving you from paying high interest charges) or put it into a high interest savings account.

Step 3: Boost your superannuation Salary sacrificed super contributions are taxed at 15%, which is likely to be lower than your marginal tax rate. And, because any super contributions come out of your before-tax income, they are not counted as assessable income for taxation purposes.

This is a simple way to save on tax and build your wealth, as more of your income is put towards growing your superannuation.

Step 2: Get private health insurance Singles with a taxable income of $90,000 or more and no private health cover, will face a Medicare Levy Surcharge (MLS) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which can be quite costly. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have private health cover and you currently earn $90,000 or more, taking out private health insurance

Step 4: Claim against your investment property Many property investors donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realise they can claim for a range of expenses on their property, including but not limited to: agentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fees, body corporate fees, advertising for tenants, building maintenance and repairs, cleaning costs, insurances, home loan fees, interest payments, council and water rates,

the cost of traveling to and from the property for inspections, and depreciation deductions for the property. Making sure every possible claimable expense is claimed at tax time can help you to grow your overall refund.

Of course, given that there are so many different claimable expenses available to property investors, it is worth speaking with a professional to make sure nothing is missed.

Step 5: Take out income protection Income protection insurance is a claimable tax deduction. So if you already have a policy and can afford to pay your premiums for the next 12 months in advance, doing so before July will mean you are able to claim the cost as a tax deduction for the 2014/2015 financial year. It is important to note however, that income protection insurance is not deductable if funded through your superannuation.

If you would like learn more about your home loan or financial advice options, call 13 6678.

Housing affordability a growing concern for Australians New research has revealed that the average home loan has grown almost four times faster than the average Australian full-time wage.

According to data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the average home loan grew by 18.5% in the two years to April 2015 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from $301,800 to $357,500.

During the same time, the average Australian full time wage grew just 3.6% from $77,225 to $80,054.

Speaking about the data, Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said the statistics were â&#x20AC;&#x153;worryingâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows the current average loan size in Australia is approximately 4.5 times larger than the average wage. By comparison, in 2013 the average loan size was just 3.9 times the average full-time Australian wage,â&#x20AC;? Mr Flavell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These statistics would suggest that property prices are rising at a much faster rate than Australian wages and this is unlikely to change anytime soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Research conducted by RP Data found property values climbed by 2.8% and 2.9% in Sydney and Melbourne respectively over the month of June alone. Worse still, in the last 12 months, Sydney values have soared by 16.2%, while Melbourne values have risen by

10.2%. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Housing affordability is already a significant problem in many parts of Australia and data would suggest that the problem will only get worse unless something is done.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Flavell said while government is actively talking about housing affordability in a lot of public forums, including last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Inquiry into Home Ownership, they are not doing a lot else. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the Inquiry into Home Ownership last month, Treasuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acting deputy secretary Macroeconomic Group, Jenny Wilkinson, said demand for housing continues to outstrip supply in many markets across Australia and more needs to be done to address the issue,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sadly, how the problem can be addressed was not discussed. Witnesses in the public hearing were exclusively employees of Government departments, consumer voices were not heard and their opinions were not sought. This suggests these inquiries are designed to allow a lot of political grandstanding and not a lot of action.

This feels very much like the Government commissioned inquiry into home ownership, conducted in 2004 and lead by the Productivity Commission, which produced 255 pages of findings with no practical

outcomes or actions. The only thing that has changed since 2004, is that the rate of home ownership has continued to decline and the proportion of households with a mortgage has increased. Further, people are increasingly being driven into unaffordable rental properties, while the proportion of people living in public housing has declined.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Flavell said the time for political grandstanding has come to an end and it is now time to act. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In order to act, we need to get a true picture of the current state of the property market and how housing affordability affects different buyer groups as well as renters. This is why we have launched an investigation into Housing Affordability,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want all Australians to tell us how housing affordability is affecting them by visiting www.mortgagechoice.com.au/haveyour-say and filling out our survey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Housing affordability is a function of property prices, income levels, the cost of and access to credit as well as supply of rental accommodation. To have a positive impact on affordability, drive up the instances of home ownership and reduce rental burden, all of these levers should be considered and usedâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I strongly encourage everyone with an

opinion to take part by having their say.

The more we know and the more data we have, the better placed we will be to help the decision makers in Australia tackle the important issues first.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Flavell said it was no longer good enough for government to investigate the issue of housing affordability, they need to be given a reason to act. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At Mortgage Choice, we are committed to helping all Australians live the life they want.

We understand that a growing number of Australians have a need to live close to where they work, where their family and friends are and where they can gain access to the amenities that our major centres provide. â&#x20AC;&#x153; â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, with property prices rising substantially over the last few years, we understand that regardless of whether Australians want to own or rent, living in or close to our major centres is becomingly increasingly expensive and more difficult to achieve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knowing this, we understand that if we want to help Australians live the life they want, we have to go beyond the data and give people the opportunity to let the Government know how housing affordability affects their lives. We need to let Australians have their sayâ&#x20AC;?.

Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest yoga class on Mt Kosciuszko On Sunday June 21, Alpine Yoga celebrated the Winter Solstice and International Yoga Day on Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest summit, Mt Kosciuszko.

The first of itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind, Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s HIGHEST Yoga Class was a charity event and raised $1500.00 in donations for the Australian Himalayan Foundation. A realistic amount that will make a significant difference for the Nepal Earthquake Appeal.

As the southern hemisphere stretched just a bit further from the sun, history was made as 27 participants hiked to the summit in snowshoes to practice yoga on the rooftop of Australia.

International Yoga Day provided an opportunity for people around the globe to experience and celebrate the beauty, power and depth of yoga as a vehicle for living a divine life and creating a world built on oneness. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the first International Yoga Day as heralding a â&#x20AC;&#x153;new era of

Breast and Lung Cancer patients will have affordable access to life-changing medicines that normally cost up to $80,000 for treatment from July 1, Minister for Health Sussan Ley has announced.

Ms Ley said that from July 1, patients will now pay just $6.10 (concessional) or $37.70 (general) for breakthrough lung cancer medicine Crizotinib and breast cancer treatments Perjeta, Herceptin and Kadcyla as a result of their official listing on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme today.

Ms Ley said taxpayers would invest over a quarter-of-abillion dollars in listing the new drugs and was another example of the Abbott Government delivering on its promise to list new medicines as quickly as possible.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Access to new medicines is crucial if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re to help Australians beat lifethreatening diseases such as cancer, as well as overcome chronic and degenerative conditions that can rob them of their independence,â&#x20AC;? Ms Ley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This investment will deliver affordable access to patients who would otherwise pay up to $80,000 for these life-saving treatments to beat breast and lung cancers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact, the Abbott Government has already listed double the number of drugs compared to Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last term in office and in half the time, and that investment is only going to continue to grow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One in every six dollars out of the $10 billion taxpayers invest in the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme every

year is now spent on cancer treatments.â&#x20AC;?

Ms Ley said the Abbott Government has now more-than-doubled the number of new and amended drug listings on the PBS to over 660 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; worth almost $3 billion in total since September 2013 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when compared to Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 331 listings during their last threeyear term in office Ms Ley said todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement also demonstrated the importance of the Abbott Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PBS Reform Package, which recently passed the Senate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Access to new medicines is crucial if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re to help Australians beat lifethreatening diseases such as cancer, as well as overcome chronic and degenerative conditions that can rob them of their independence,â&#x20AC;? Ms Ley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153; H o w e v e r , meeting community expectations that new drugs will be listed quickly also comes at a significant cost, with taxpayers expected to invest $50 billion making medicines more affordable for patients over the next five years alone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our PBS reform package ensures spending on existing medicines is as efficient as possible so we can continue to list new breakthrough drugs such as these as well.â&#x20AC;?

Ms Ley said Perjeta, Herceptin and Kadcyla

were used to treat HER2-positive metastic breast cancer and would benefit 590 patients per year.

Kadcyla provides an additional line of therapy where the disease has progressed despite previous treatment, while the combination of Perjeta and Herceptin would provide a more effective treatment option for this cancer than Herceptin alone.

Ms Ley said Crizotinib (XalkoriÂŽ) was used to treat anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)positive non-small cell lung cancer and would benefit approximately 154 patients with the rare life-threatening disease.

Crizotinib will be listed through a Managed Entry Scheme that will speed up access for patients with the highest need for treatment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are very few effective therapeutic options available for patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer and this will be the first treatment available on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme that specifically targets patients with ALK gene rearrangement,â&#x20AC;? Ms Ley said.

Ms Ley said that, without taxpayer subsidisation via the PBS, breast cancer drugs Perjeta, Herceptin and Kadcyla and lung cancer drug Crizotinib (XalkoriÂŽ) would cost $80,000 and $82,000 per patient respectively.

One death a week on our Be power aware for farm safety farms is still one too many and productivity

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme for National Farm Safety Week (20-24 July) is Safe farms are productive farms. It is an opportunity to encourage farmers, agricultural employees and others involved with primary industry to make occupational safety part of their workplace and family culture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fatalities on farms are almost always avoidable,â&#x20AC;? said Gordon Gregory, CEO of the National Rural Health Alliance (NRHA). â&#x20AC;&#x153;The commonsense approach to safety on farms must be embedded in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thinking and behaviour - not pursued reluctantly as something that just has to be done. And appreciating that a safe farm is also a more productive one should help with this,â&#x20AC;? Mr Gregory said.

Tragically, there have been twentyfour deaths on Australian farms to 30 June this year. The NRHA is pleased to support Farm Safety Week and encourages all those involved with farming to be aware of the commonsense approach.

It has four elements: identify hazards and fix them as soon as possible; have clear procedures for activities that are particularly risky; make sure everyone

- including visitors and particularly kids understands the procedures; and have an emergency plan in case there is an accident.

Life on the land is a great and rewarding life, but it is not without inherent risks and dangers that people must be aware of, and take steps to avoid. There has been a significant reduction in farm fatalities over the last twenty years, with the number falling from 146 in 1994 to 54 in 2014. This is good news, but with one death per week on our farms, we can still do better.

Having safer farms is especially important for children, who make up twenty percent of all fatalities, with many more suffering serious injuryâ&#x20AC;?, Mr Gregory said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In partnership with Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Healthcare Australasia, the NRHA is hosting the Caring for Country Kids Conference in Alice Springs next year and making farms safer for children will no doubt be part of the considerations.â&#x20AC;?

With 2015 National Farm Safety Week commencing on 20 July, Essential Energy is reminding farmers and agricultural workers that staying safe around electrical infrastructure is both good for health and the bottom line.

Regional manager South Eastern, Phillip Green, said Essential Energy would help promote the theme of Farmsafe Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national week â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Safe Farms = Better Productivity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to raise awareness of electrical safety hazards on rural properties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When working around powerlines and other electrical assets, remember to always Look up and Live,â&#x20AC;? Phillip said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being aware of the location of power poles and wires when working on the farm is one of the most important steps in keeping everyone safe.â&#x20AC;?

Property owners are advised to identify and mark overhead powerlines at ground level to increase their visibility for farm workers.

Essential Energy can install flag markers on overhead powerlines at a small cost and provide electrical network maps showing the location of wires on a property.

Electrical incidents can cause serious injury or worse to workers, damage equipment, result in harvest delays and impact farm productivity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before accessing paddocks and work areas,

check the condition of poles and wires and always be aware that the height of powerlines can change in extreme heat or windy weather,â&#x20AC;?

Phillip said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vital that operators know the height of their machinery in both the raised and lowered positions and maintain safe clearance distances from powerlines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remember that powerlines can be as low as 5.5 metres so always lower machinery fully before moving off and assign a safety observer to guide machinery movements.â&#x20AC;?

If your machinery does come into contact with overhead powerlines, stay in the vehicle if safe to do so and call Essential Energy immediately on 13 20 80.

Bystanders should remain at least eight metres away from the vehicle or anything in contact with it and call emergency services (000) if the situation is life-threatening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An emergency evacuation is extremely dangerous and should only be attempted if it is unsafe to remain inside the vehicle such as in the event of a fire,â&#x20AC;? Phillip said.

More electrical safety information is available at: essentialenergy.com.au/agribusiness or by calling Essential Energy on 13 23 91.

NSW entrepreneurs asked to help shape the future of agriculture NSW entrepreneurs are being invited to put forward their ideas to improve local agriculture, as part of a new Innovation Challenge launched recently by Westpac and Blue Chilli.

Farmers from The Central West and The South Coast in NSW, as well as from around Australia, are encouraged to consider what agriculture would look like if it was invented today.

The competition is open to anyone from any industry, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily have to be working in agriculture or the agriculture supply chain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no idea is too big or too small.

Sebastien Eckersley-Maslin, founder and CEO of start-up incubator BlueChilli, notes the winner will receive a $40,000 cash prize, six months placement in the accelerator

program at Blue Chilli, as well as one-onone mentorship, advice and connections â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all designed to help bring the idea to life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone in NSW with an inkling of an idea is encouraged to enter. As agriculture adapts to the digital age, technology is set to play a larger role in the industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The winning innovation for this challenge could effectively improve farm gate returns in The Central West and The South Coast NSW and for Australian farms forever,â&#x20AC;? said Sebastien.

According to Crop Farming 2030, a recent international report by the Boston Consulting Group, it suggests farming will be completely reinvented by 2030, with many of the new technologies already starting to appear.

The integration of data analytics, wireless

connectivity, advanced equipment and molecular biology are all tipped to increase dramatically. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Westpac Innovation Challenge is open to all kinds of ideas on how to reinvent agriculture, from the farm gate to the plate,â&#x20AC;? says Sebastien. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for a great idea that uses technology in smart ways for the benefit of agribusiness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way of connecting agricultural buyers and sellers, allowing consumers to connect with farmers, smart phone apps providing decision support for farmers, data systems that let small farmers harvest together. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever come across a challenge in agribusiness and thought â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;there should be an app for thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, then this is the right place to share that idea!â&#x20AC;?

Local residents can apply if they have an idea only, possess an early stage product in the making, or have recently introduced a new product or solution in market. The winner will be helped to take an early stage idea into a viable and valuable business.

Applications close on Sunday 2 August.

Five finalists will be announced on Monday August 17 and each will be introduced to industry influencers and decision makers to help them launch and grow in the market.

The winner will be announced at a national event held on September 1.

Riposte Lisa Ashurst Well here’s a new medical condition for the books! It’s a phobia apparently. It has a name and it’s a condition that is affecting more and more (generally younger) people every day. It is called nomophobia; the fear of being left holding a mobile phone with a battery that has run out of charge while in a location with no immediate means available to recharge it.

I kid you not.

Those suffering from “nomophobia” will go into major meltdown when this happens, regardless of where they are, and while it may look an awful lot like a temper tantrum it apparently isn’t because it’s now a recognised (???) phobia.

But sceptic that I am, I’m leaning towards another name; label. Labels are very convenient for explaining away a swathe of bad behaviours and have been a boon for parents looking for an excuse for their own shortfalls in failing to control their children, serial cheaters and a number of other socially

Check out

unacceptable behaviours, which has lead to a surprising number of doctors and lawyers out there scraping the bottom of the barrel to find something they can offer as an excuse to soothe the conscience. Like “nomophobia” I guess, for people who are definitely old enough to know a lot better throwing loud, disruptive and embarrassing temper fits over a mobile phone with battery run-out. It has nothing to do with finding themselves in the midst of a dire emergency with the lack of battery charge creating a life or death situation.

It’s simply a case of not being able to talk or text or email, randomly trawl around the Internet, listen to music, access Facebook or play a game. That’s it. No emergency, just a sudden lack of entertainment and faced with the task of having to actually find another way to entertain themselves.

Thing is, recognised phobias are genuine conditions that can be disruptive to those unfortunate enough to be inflicted with one which is why I view “nomophobia” as nothing short of another term for “grew up with way too much instant

gratification, minimal (if any) parental boundaries and an overinflated sense of entitlement.” There’s a lot of that going around.

So why should we have to accept it? And why come up with vague labels to explain away bad behaviour anyway?

Well it’s a lot easier on the guilty I guess, and probably has its roots in all the social engineering that has allowed parents off the hook when it came to nipping their kiddies’ bad behaviour in the bud, allowing them to carry their lack of manners and self control into adulthood where they are given another label for any socially unacceptable behaviour because no one has to take responsibility for their actions anymore. It is why some dipstick has deemed that children, teens and adults flying into raging temper fits over a mobile phone battery run out of charge are now “nomophobic” instead of just ill-mannered, undisciplined and way overdue for a sharp rebuke. It’s enough to make you want to slap ‘em into the next week.

Except you’ll be labelled a violent offender if you do that.

NSW Farmers Association conference Corowa mixed farmer to lead NSW Farmers into 2015 Derek Schoen will lead NSW Farmers Association for the next 12 months following his election as president at the NSW Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Annual conference at Luna Park, North Sydney.

Mr Schoen was the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice president in 2014-15 and is well known as its Cattle Committee Chair for the past three years.

He is a farmer with properties in Corowa and on the New England Tablelands where he runs mixed cropping operations with his wife Leanne, son Merc, and partner.

Mr Schoenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations consist of dry land winter cropping including wheat, barley, oats, canola and lupins as well as fat lambs, wool and beef cattle.

He succeeds Fiona Simson from the Liverpool Plains who stepped down today

after completing a maximum four year term.

Mr Schoen is a former deputy mayor of Corowa Council and current president of the Redlands Bush Fire Brigade as well as a member of the Corowa and District Landcare and Riverine Plains Farmer Group.

Mr Schoen said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Agriculture has been good to me and now I have an opportunity to give something back.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t subscribe to the adage that leadership is a lonely business - my presidency will be punctuated by a commitment to inclusiveness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We must work together to strengthen our voice, to advocate for the future of farming and we must work together to forge a future for agriculture that enlivens our history of hard work on the land.â&#x20AC;?

Consultation with farmers a priority in native veg reform Members of the NSW Farmers Association have agreed the NSW Government should release full consultation guidelines and genuinely consult with farmers immediately on biodiversity reform legislation.

Members also agreed that the government should make any details or current drafts of the biodiversity reform legislation available.

Chair of the Conservation and Resource Management Committee Mitchell Clapham brought the motion to the NSW Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; annual conference in Sydney today after months of no detail on the reform from the

NSW Government despite promises to be in close consultation.

The motion was passed unanimously.

Mr Clapham expressed frustration with the NSW Government since committing to reviewing the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biodiversity laws. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are on a holding pattern from government on this. It has committed to work with us, yet draft legislation is due in November and we are yet to see anything of substance,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farmers today have made it clear that we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be taken for fools. Government needs to

NSW Farmers progresses climate change policy at conference Members used the final motion of the NSW Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; conference lastweek to roundly endorse and pass policy recognising the impact that variable climate has on the farming community.

The motion, developed and moved by the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Young Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Council, overhauled the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pre-existing policy in relation to climate change.

Ms Angela Martin, a producer from Mullaley, said she was heartened by the motion from young farmers ahead of the 2015 United National Climate Change Conference in Paris in December. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have been proactive and our change to policy sends a clear signal to government that we believe that climate variability is an issue that

we are dealing with every day,â&#x20AC;? Ms Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Primary producers are on the front lines of seasonal variability, rising temperatures and more extreme weather, exacerbated by a changing climate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to make sure that the association is in a position to be able to play an active role in the issue,â&#x20AC;? Ms Martin concluded.

Members were in support of the association taking steps to encourage governments to support the transition from fossil fuels like coal and gas towards more renewable energy sources in rural, regional and remote areas where their operation can be shown to be of a net benefit to farming communities.

consult with the very people whom these laws directly affect. Not only are native vegetation laws hindering agricultural productivity, the laws are proving to have a damaging effect on the environment by not letting farmers undertake sufficient environmental land management practices.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re farmers, and the health of our natural resource base is absolutely vital to the viability of our industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trust in farmers, as environmentalists, is

key. You need to know the practicalities of modern and innovative Australian farming before you can start writing up legislation.

We are urging government to genuinely consult and listen because we are part of the solution,â&#x20AC;? Mr Clapham concluded.

NSW Farmers met recently with the Department of Primary Industries on the reform process but members want to be more engaged and have urged the government to move more quickly on reform.

The John Shearer 3.0 metre Tyne Drill is purpose built for pasture renovation. In the Shearer tradition, the drill is engineered to maximize serviceable life and operation.

The robust construction makes it the ideal choice for use in many farming conditions.

NSW Farmers Association conference Local Land Services lacking Farmers have underlined their dissatisfaction with the delivery of extension services by Local Land Services (LLS).

At the NSW Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association annual conference, district councils from across the state moved motion after motion highlighting the lack of resources provided by Local Lands Services.

Farmers from Coonabarabran and the Liverpool Plains are seeking a review of LLS and its work in the areas of pest animal management, support of agronomy, drought management and the LLS representative structure.

Eighteen months after the introduction of the new scheme, farmers continue to experience a deficit of extension services. As one farmer put it on the conference floor: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have lost 200 years worth of extension expertise.â&#x20AC;?

Guyra and Armidale District Councils both moved motions that sought additional technical skills and training for those delivering extension services. Moree and Tenterfield District Councils highlighted that pest animal management had been a particular focus of frustration.

NSW Farmers has always held the view that the new structure must end the slow decline in agricultural services.

Upon taking up his new ministerial responsibilities, the Minister for Primary Industries, Niall Blair MLC said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no doubt there is plenty of work to do to bed down Local Land Services so it can deliver a better standard of services, like agricultural extension, to our farming sector.â&#x20AC;?

Newly elected president of the association, Derek Schoen, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before the last state election the government committed to a very modest $1 million per annum increase in funding for Local Land Services extension staff to support agriculture and aquaculture, but we were disappointed to learn that this would

have to be met from the Department of Primary Industriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; existing budget.â&#x20AC;?

The conference endorsed calls for more robust extension services and comments highlighted that the ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first impression is on the money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an illusion. There is a lot more work to do and more government money needs to be spent,â&#x20AC;? Mr Schoen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farmers are growing impatient for better service delivery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;NSW Farmers will be watching how the government addresses this key issue and will continue to vigorously defend farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interests.â&#x20AC;?

break on innovation and productivity growth in agriculture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Agriculture is set to be one of the boom industries across NSW and Australia and many farmers are eager to use the latest technology to improve their business,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inability to access even the most basic internet services is a constant frustration for many of our members and is a constraint on business productivity.â&#x20AC;?

NSW Farmers has consistently lobbied for

better internet and mobile phone services in NSW. Most recently the association has completed a submission to the 2015 Regional Telecommunications Review calling for an expansion of the roll out of fibre across the NBN network and a quality of service agreement between the Federal Government and the NBN to create a mandated level of service for those on fixed wireless and satellite services.

Farmers call for better internet access State and federal governments were called on to urgently address the glaring inequality between rural and metropolitan internet services by farmers gathered in Sydney at the NSW Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; annual conference.

Those living and working in rural NSW are dealing daily with a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;digital divideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on internet access despite improvements delivered to date through the roll out of the NBN network.

Many producers face severe restrictions in terms of access, cost and volume of data

usage available on their internet services compared to those in metropolitan areas.

Service drop outs are common and producers even face being cut off from the internet entirely if they break their download limit for the month. The impacts are particularly severe for those who access their internet through a satellite service.

NSW Farmers telecommunicationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spokesman Anthony Gibson said that current internet availability was acting as a hand

Farmers embrace new technology to enhance traceability Members of the NSW Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association passed a motion supporting the phased introduction of electronic National Vendor Declarations (eNVDs) at their annual conference in Sydney this week.

The mover of the motion, Ms Katie Davies, Chair of the NSW Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Goat Industry Committee, emphasised that farmers should embrace new technology to increase traceability. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The current trial of eNVDs aims to make it even easier for farmers to comply with the National Livestock Identification Scheme (NLIS),â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We recognise that some farmers might not have the required communications coverage and will continue to need paper versions for some time.

We also need to encourage people to move into the 21st Century. My iPhone is now a powerful biosecurity tool. â&#x20AC;&#x153;NSW Farmers absolutely oppose the introduction of any regulation which includes

mandatory electronic RFID tags for all sheep and goats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, it is clear that the government expects us to work towards gradual improvements in traceability and we should embrace new technology that allows us to do that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is about making the current system more robust and ensuring the integrity of the entire supply chain.â&#x20AC;?

NSW Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opposition to mandatory electronic RFIDs is informed by the results of NSW Department of Primary Industriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, Exercise Tuckerbox. This exercise showed that, in NSW, the current flock system provides more than adequate traceability in the event of a serious disease outbreak.

The motion passed with a clear majority and was supported by the Sheepmeat Committee.

NSW Farmers award scholarships to students NSW Farmers has awarded $20,000 in scholarships to five students seeking to advance careers in food and fibre production.

Minister for Primary Industries, Lands and Water, Niall Blair MLC, presented the scholarships at the NSW Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; annual conference in Sydney, with winners coming from

Narromine, Boorowa, Armidale, Coonabarabran and Wee Waa. Chair of the scholarship selection panel and Walcha farmer Sonia Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe said this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipients were studying education, physiotherapy, agricultural economics and business management. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is great that NSW Farmers can recognise the achievement of

students across a broad range of subjects and the different ways in which these students are able to contribute to rural communities through their chosen field,â&#x20AC;? Ms Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Young skilled professionals are important for rural communities and the industries such as agriculture which support them.â&#x20AC;?

Don’t let your dream property become a noxious weed nightmare!

The Monaro region is becoming increasingly susceptible to invasive noxious weeds through a large shift in land use.

This is partially due to farming not being seen as a viable carer option for young people and somewhat by people seeking a change from city life, either just for a weekend getaway or more permanently.

This change is one which much of rural Australia is witnessing.

This regression in reliance on the land for their income has seen the Cooma-Monaro Shire Council increase the focus from noxious weed control being just an issue for those in the agricultural industry to one that everyone in the community has a responsibility for.

Lifestyle or recreational blocks are on the increase and many new owners are not aware of the impact noxious weeds can have on the local environment and economy if left uncontrolled.

The very reason many people buy into the district is the pristine environment and the feeling of

community that rural areas offer.

These are the very things that are being degraded through landowners not controlling noxious weeds.

Noxious weeds have the ability to transform the landscape and in some parts of the Monaro region that has already happened.

Vast areas that were once natural temperate grasslands around areas like Bredbo are now encumbered with dense infestations of Serrated tussock and African lovegrass.

Landowners are responsible under the Noxious Weeds ACT 1993 to control noxious weeds on their property despite the land use.

Whether it is a weed like Serrated tussock that has no nutritional value for animals and creates mono-cultures which impede natural biodiversity, African lovegrass infestations which pose a major fire risk to surrounding communities, toxic weeds like St John’s wort or Blackberries which choke up waterways and reduce natural

flows, if they occur on your land you must control them.

One of the most common problems new land owners encounter is not realising the weeds they are buying.

Many people don’t identify or budget for noxious weeds when purchasing land and too often their ‘dream property’ becomes a noxious weed nightmare, not only for them but also for neighbouring properties.

The burden on landowners to keep up with the expense of noxious weed control when those around them don’t, can often result in many throwing their hands in the air and giving up the fight This could potentially see some of the most unique flora and fauna in Southern NSW disappear in a blanket of noxious weeds.

This could also see important local agricultural industries and business suffer and potentially vanish from the local landscape.

The new two-year sponsorship initiative is part of CommBankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long term commitment to supporting cricket at all levels â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from the national menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams, to the grassroots clubs, to the fans of the game.

CommBank has invested over $1.5 million in local cricket clubs over the past four years, and has reached a third of all clubs across Australia with their support and grant packages.

Applications are open to local cricket clubs across Australia until Sunday 9 August. To apply for a CommBank Cricket Club Sponsorship, please visit www.commbank.com.au/cricket.

Gymnastics group ends YMCA NSW works in close partnership with the Cooma Monaro Shire Council to run the Cooma Youth HUB Program for 12-17 year olds in the local community.

It operates as a drop in centre offering everything from a giant TV for movies to gaming systems, pool tables and internet facilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have already seen 400 young people access the centre so far this year, some come for our support and referral advice, some come to do their washing, have a shower or just enjoy their own designated youth spaceâ&#x20AC;? explains, YMCA Cooma Youth Project Coordinator, Cathy Guion.

The HUB is also a popular place during the school holidays when they offer different activities every day including arts, crafts and gaming as well as providing snacks and a healthy lunch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last school holidays we had 72 young people through the door over the seven days, we also held a NAIDOC day event with around 80 people joining us for this so it was a busy time for usâ&#x20AC;? said Ms Guion.

While this program is thriving, the YMCA gymnastics program has had a few challenges.

In September 2014 the council awarded the tender for the management of Cooma Pool to Monaro Aquatic Services in place of YMCA and since then the gymnastics operation has become increasingly challenging for YMCA NSW to manage. Due to geographical capacity to adequately service the program on top of a range of significant financial and facility safety considerations, YMCA NSW has made the difficult decision to cease operation of the gymnastics program in Cooma. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are proud of the service we have provided through our partnership with Cooma Council and we would like to thank the Cooma community for its support during the two years we have managed the programâ&#x20AC;? said Group Manager YMCA, Samantha Cosgrove. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A highlight for us has been seeing the children grow in mind, body and spirit as they have learned and mastered new skills.â&#x20AC;?

Colts getting ready for run-down to final matches Full On Constructions and Rhythm Snow Sports Under 6’s The under 6 Cooma Colts played an awesome game on Sunday against the Valley Dragons. Jessie Hurford, Harper Woolf, Tylor Lee and Aiden Dixon were all quick to stop the opposition along with Nate Stokes who made an outstanding 16 tackles throughout the game. Junior Morgan, Oliver Paul, Jana Rosenbaum-Robinson, William Bryan and Ikani Smith all had some great runs as well, taking the team to a win of 20 to 4. A huge pat on the back to all the kids for playing a super game.

South East Embroidery Under 7’s The under 7 Colts took on the South Tuggeranong Knights on Sunday for their first run on the paddock without the coach barking instructions from the field behind.

The Colts went out confidently with good attacking runs from Rhylee RosenbaumRobinson, Bailey Benn, Jackson Lee and Ari Geach who came close to crossing for a four pointer on two occasions, with some good dummy half work from Lachlan Burchall and Mitchell Fletcher.

The Colts defended well with Riley McKenzie, Kyte Lee, Jackson Cook, Lachlan Bryan and Othon Morgan putting on some spectacular try saving tackles. Although the Colts unluckily went down to a much bigger Knights side 8 points to 4, it was easily one of their best games yet with an outstanding effort from all. The sole try scorer was Riley McKenzie with a very strong run to punch through some very strong defence. The medal winner this week was Lachlan Bryan and the McDonalds award went to Othon Morgan.

Snowy River Painting Under 8’s – Black The under 8’s Colts Black took on the North Canberra Bears at home. After having two weeks off the young Colts were slow to start, allowing the Bears to cross the line three times. 18 - Nil down after the first 10 mins the young Colts re-gathered and came out firing in the middle third.

Lachlan Sky led from the front in both attack and defence and was rewarded for his hard work with three tries. Dempsey Woolf and Darcy Rudd worked well in defence both tackling their hearts out. Jack Dunn made some strong runs up the middle and tackled well. Wyatt Hurford took the Bears by surprise making some great one on one tackles and hitting the ball up straight and hard.

Charlie Payne and Charlie Perea made some great tackles preventing the Bears from crossing the line on more than one occasion.

Natasha Kelly once again was the quiet achiever making some much needed tackle and great runs. Player of the day went to Lachlan Sky and the Managers Award went to Wyatt Hurford. The young Colts came from behind for a victory of 44-24.

Monaro Constructions Under 8’s – White Well back in sunny Cooma for round 10 saw the under 8s White take on the Gungahlin Bulls Yellow. It wasn’t a good start with the Bulls crossing in the first set of six, but the Colts took it in their stride and fought hard to hold them out. Khian Flanagan, Ashton Dibley and Archie Blyton played well with some good defence in the first against some big hard running Bulls.

Conner Nelson had a great game and converted one of two tries by Hunter Caldwell who was unstoppable, running down the wing. The other was converted by Tyrell Bartlett who made some great tackles and was unlucky not to get over the line. Bailey Taylor and Maccas award winner Jayden Hart put in a good show in attack but found it hard going with a big Bulls defensive line.

The man of the match this week went to Jett Kelly who had complete control of the left wing in defence and attack. The Colts played a tough game this week but went down 30 to 12.

Monaro Panel Beaters Under 9’s With a milder morning the U9’s took on the Belconnen United Sharks who have some really big players on their side. The Cooma boys knew they were in for a big game. Being one player down and only 10 players on the field it was going to be a big task for the Colts, but the boys started the game strongly, right off the bat with Tommy Rudd showing real speed and class crossing the line minutes after kickoff.

He also pulled off some try saving tackles, stopping the Sharks from scoring certain tries. He also crossed for another try again later in the game. Charlie Fleming played strongly again and with a late change into first receiver he slotted in well and showed he can play almost any position asked of him. He defended well and also scored two tries. Jacob Smith played another cracker of a game defending strongly and being almost everywhere on the field, scoring a strong try also. Lucas Umback stepped up as captain of the side and played another strong game having some great runs and defending really well stringing some good form together.

John Challis had some really busting runs taking some stopping and also tackling well. Brendan Rees fired today having some

great runs and tackling well talking all game in defence, great job again Brendan. Zane Usher-Rodahl ran the ball strongly and tackled well also talking well in defence.

Cameron Filtness scored two really important tries at crucial points in the match and had another great game in defence.

Joshy Williams gave the Sharks plenty of trouble running out of dummy half and scoring a great try from far out. The Hitman award was well deserved by Clayton Clark who had his best game of the season running really strongly with great ball security and being an absolute pest to the opposition in defence. Great game, Clarky. Even though the boys were short players this week they showed great tenacity in defence with the opposition getting plenty of repeat sets. We also had some great team play in attack and everyone is really proud of the boys for such a great team effort. Good job fellas. Final score Colts 34 Sharks 16.

Try scorers were Thomas Rudd 2, Cameron Filtness 2, Charlie Fleming 2, Jacob Smith 1, Joshua Williams 1. Conversions Cameron Flitness 1 . Player of the week Thomas Rudd.

Maccas Award Brendan Rees. Pizza Award Jacob Smith. Hit Man Award Clayton Clarke.

Sportspower U10’s The u10s took on the Gungahlin Bulls on a nice, sunny Sunday. After the kick off the Colts tackled well and didn’t give the Bulls an inch and had them pegged back deep in their own half.

After a clearing kick, Jack “Thumper” McPherson burst onto the ball and ran 30m to score a good, solo try. Shortly after, Louie Mould scored a great try as well. The Bulls then cranked it up a notch and started to swing into action and crossed the Colts try line twice. Jordan Williams ran through the would be defenders without a hand laid on him.

Cooper Inskip was darting out from dummy half, making valuable ground and was also rewarded with a try. At the break the Colts were leading 20-12. After the break, Justin and Toby switched to half back and dummy half. Justin found some room and scampered away to score. Toby made several good inroads through the middle.

The Bulls hit back with a try but Justin sealed the victory with another try. The final score, Colts up 32-24. Choc award went to Jacory Hart for his defence and running and Toby for an all round game.

Weekly medal went to Thomas King for executing some great tackles and showing some great soccer skills down the blind side.

Pizza award to Justin McDonald, great in

defence and attack. Player of the week went to Louie Mould for an all round good game.

3 points- Louie, 2 points- Justin, 1 pointCooper.

Highland Ground Spreading Under 11’s The U11 Colts were faced with a beautiful day in Cooma and were ready to take on the Tuggeranong Buffaloes. In a tight first 20minutes the score of 16-4 to the Buffaloes was a fair indication of the half despite some great desperation defence across the park and better handling than the previous game.

Great defensive display led by James Bannon, Kayla Fleming and Lachlan Hemphill in the middle and out wide by Jack Newson on the left and Sam Williams taking the big boys down low out on the right. Cody Clarke made some good scoots from dummy and also got up quickly in defence. Talon Kelly always ready to pounce in cover defence and step and weave his way through with the ball.

Kristian Zusak ran and defended strongly in only his second game back from injury, scoring our only try. Jack O’Donnell ran the left well as usual and also made several good runs.

Ryan Monday and River Wilkinson held their positions well out wide and grabbed the ball and tackled well when play came their way. Barrett Bannon, Aron Umback and Tirone Morgan played strongly through the middle as always making good metres, as did Jake Maddrell and Shawn Ingham out wider, defending strongly and showing good hands.

Final score 32-4 to the Buffs. With four games left in the season the U11 Colts plan to finish strongly like last season, storming into the finals. 3pts Kayla 2pts Sam 1pt James. Player of the Week Cody. Medal Jack O’Donnell. Pizza Award Ryan. Canteen Award River.

Service One Alliance Bank Under 15’s The U15s played South Tuggeranong on Sunday in a close game.

The Cooma boys came out a bit sleepy but soon awoke and played some great footy in a very close game.

The ball seemed to go from team to team, but the defence and attack from all boys was outstanding. James Cahill was fortunate to get three tries and Declan Gregory, one.

Lachlan Inskip converting two goals, leaving the score locked at 20 points to 20 points.

Well done to all the boys, and thank you to league safe Pete Mylan and first aid Marlene Bottom. Points went to, 3 Bill Zammit, 2 Lachlan Inskip and 1 point Lachlan Jones.

High Heelers win two, men bow out for 2015

Tash Stewart ran the length of the field to score this try. Below: Maree Coates.

On Saturday July 18 the Bombala & District Football club did not let a little rain and cold temps stop them from putting on a very entertaining afternoon of football in the last round of the Group 16 competition.

The Bombala High Heelers had a tough task ahead, expected to play two games in a row in testing conditions. However to the girls credit, they toughed it out and came away with two convincing wins, holding them in good stead for finals footy.

The first game saw the High Heelers take on the Merimbula/ Pambula Hotdoggies. Dominating runs from Maree Coates and Keiarna Rodwell were too much for the Hotdoggies to handle and points started to rack up on the scoreboard.

The Heelers played smart football often spreading the ball wide with great precision and finding the line on numerous occasions. Line breaks from Tash Stewart and Sam Ingram saw more points and the addition of good field possession.

The tagging efforts of Lucy Sellars, Chloe Hodak and Jane Peadon were second to none shutting down any attacking efforts the Hotdoggies looked to execute.

The movement across the middle of the field from Chloe Hodak, Amy Stone, Trina Brownlie and Sue Morgan was a credit to the girls, sure to take additional care when handling the ball in the slippery conditions.

The final scoreline 44-0 was a credit to the girl’s structure and steadfast tagging in defence.

Three points awarded for this game went to Maree Coates whose ability to play anywhere on the field and dominate is a credit to her, 2 points went to Keiarna Rodwell whose line running and ability to take tags was outstanding and 1

point went to Emma Sullivan who wreaked havoc with her ball handling skills and try assists.

After a short 10 minute break the girls were keen to get back out onto the paddock, wary of getting cold.

They took the field against the eager Bemboka/Candelo Pink Panthers who were a more physical side making the weary legs of the Heelers work extra hard.

Again Maree Coates’s hard line running and precision ball from Emma Sullivan saw early points put on the board. From here though the girls had pressure put on them forcing them to defend back to back sets on their own line.

The girls held strong and did not miss a tag eventually gaining the ball back.

Janine Jamieson had a great game often taking on the line evading defenders and gaining good metres for the Heelers.

Monique Ingram was instrumental in organising play, often breaking the line and offloading to support players to put points on the board.

Kaylee Keavey held a strong line in defence and helped to cart the ball up for the Heelers in attack, unlucky not to bag her own four pointer with a solid effort in taking the ball out of the air from a kick over the line.

May Peck had a great game taking the ball to the line and often utilising a great inside ball to a flying Maree Coates who once in space was unstoppable. Keiarna Rodwell played another solid game bagging two tries of her own.

Tash Stewart proved she has pace that leaves others out-on-their-feet

scoring her second length of the field try for the day. The reliable hands of Amy Stone saw her bag two tries on the day also. The High Heelers only conceded one try for the day, finishing this game 36-4.

Three points for this game went to Lucy Sellers whose evasive line running and ability to manipulate herself to get the most difficult of tags was inspirational, 2 points went to Jane Peadon whose runs destroyed the defence and lightning tags were plentiful and 1 point went to Monique Ingram for her line breaks and try assists.

The boys played a gutsy game of football against the Merimbula/ Pambula Bulldogs however it was the bite of the Bulldog that stung the most over the Heeler and the eventual score-line saw the home team defeated 30-6.

For most of the first half the scores remained fairly even with the Bombala lads muscling up in defence and proving a handful for

The High Heelers are excited to move into the preliminary finals next weekend on Sunday July 26 against The Bega Chicks at Bega.

The club would like to encourage as many supporters as possible to take the trip down the hill to cheer on our local girls.

the Bulldogs.

Chris Anderson was instrumental in both defence and attack, his enthusiasm and ability to lead by example was uplifting for the boys. His brother Andrew was also an incredible asset to the team, directing the play in at the halves and able to hold strong and solid in defence.

Murray Jackson playing in at lock, saw him run the ball with great determination and force. Joel Cherry was a breath of fresh air from the bench, injecting great passion in attack and hard hitting in defence,

Blue Heelers V Bulldogs The Blue Heelers took the field for their last game of the season, determined to end their first year

so too were the efforts of Slade Newton.

Clay Stewart continued to be hard to handle for the coastal team and so too was the solid efforts of Joe Bobbin. Brett Hodak ended up muscling his way over the line to score the only try of the day for the Heelers and with Clay Stewart’s conversion got the extra two for the Heelers.

Jackson Standen’s work rate was outstanding on the day involved in many plays and muscling up well in defence.

Three points for the game were awarded to Chris Anderson (sponsored by Foodworks), 2 points to Andrew Anderson (sponsored by Platypus Crash Repairs) and 1 point to Murray Jackson (Sponsored by Tiger Bobbin Rustic Creations).

Players player by unanimous vote went to Joel Cherry (sponsored by 3R supplements) whose commitment and passion out on the paddock is second to none.

The Blue Heelers would like to take the opportunity to thank each and every person who has supported, contributed, barracked, donated and followed the boys throughout the season. Whilst not the most successful season on the ladder board, the boys have worked extremely well to build a solid football foundation amongst the local lads in town.

They look forward to continuing to build as a club and team and are confident they can restore the Bombala first grade team to the top of the ladder in the future. The Football club would like to thanks its sponsors; Bombala RSL Club, Caldwell Building & Contracting Pty Ltd, Ron Milliner Earthmoving, RAW Strength Bombala, Dongwah, Bob Stewart, Our Local IGA, Pat Lomas and Imperial Hotel Bombala.

Cooma defeats Bega, wins a home semi A big crowd was on hand on Sunday to witness the Stallions defeat the premiership front runners Bega by a record margin.

Both sides had something to play for on Sunday with Bega playing for a minor premiership and the Stallions playing for the right to host a home semi-final.

The day started well for Cooma with Blayne Thomas crossing for the first points after only six minutes. Mitch Hynes was able to convert and the Stallions were in the lead 6 nil. Bega were able to hit back after a couple of repeat sets although unable to convert they were back in the match 6-4.

The mobile Cooma forwards were making an impact and with fresh reserves bringing renewed enthusiasm and punch to the attack the Stallions were getting right on top of Bega.

This was evident as

they scored three more tries before half time to Liam Saunders, Matt Salvestro and Richard Bensley leaving the Roosters scratching their heads at half time down 24-4 This was a similar score line to the first round but the Stallions are a different team after picking up the services of Jeff Donald, Lee Walsh and Clint Dunn and the return from injury to Richard Bensley these guys have given the team that extra punch that

was missing.

The second half started like the first and it was only five minutes old when Cory Thomas crossed to give the side a match winning lead.

In the next 20 minutes Bega was able to consolidate and crossed for a try to give them a glimmer of hope to repeat their first round comeback but Corey Thomas crossed for his second and this snuffed out any hope Bega had of fighting back.

The last 10 minutes

Pictured left, Jeff ‘Duck’ Donald and above, Adam Walters. saw Bega cross again but a penalty goal to Mitch Hynes and a converted try to Dean Blyton left the Bega Roosters minor premiership hopes in taters with the final score 40 – 14 in favour of the Stallions.

In a good team effort Cory Thomas stood out and was awarded best and fairest plus

players’ player. He was well supported by Lee Walsh, Blayne Thomas and Jeff Donald.

Also a mention and congratulations to Mitch Hynes as after a 12 point haul on Sunday is currently the season’s leading point scorer.

So that leaves all for Cooma sides in the semi-finals and Cooma will be hosting the first

semi this Saturday with all four sides to compete.

The first game will be at 2pm with the 18’s taking on Batemans Bay. Then at 3:30 the Fillies will take on Moruya this game will be followed at 4:30 when the Reserve grade will do battle against Eden and The first grade game will

commence at 6pm when the Stallions continue their charge towards the premiership when they take on Merimbula Pambula Bulldogs.

A good night is guaranteed so get over to the showground to help all four sides continue their charge toward their premierships.

Stallions reggies surprise Bega with 26-14 victory On Sunday Cooma took on second placed Bega Roosters, with Cooma taking the win with an almighty effort taking the Roosters down 26-14.

The game started off strong with Dave Somerville crossing for the first try, with the game see sawing up and down the field with some strong online defence from the Stallions.

Great runs by Millard Issa had the Roosters back pedalling.

Some big hits by Johno Kaufline and Creedence Barlett had the opposition going to the half time break trailing 18 -4.

Cooma came out in the second half after a very passionate talk by Scott Lloyd that they just need to hold their shape in attack and defence.

The Stallions finished the game with some great bursts by Millard Issa, Brett Simpson, Will Kelly, Jesse Jackson and Andrew Crane. The Stallions went from straight to strength but unfortunately missed out in the Semis.

3 points - Jess Jackson, 2 points - Dave Somerville, 1 point - Millard Issa & Will Kelly and Players Player went to Millard Issa.

Fillies lose to Bega but make finals

Pictured above, Abby Schofield looks to pass on the Fillies game against Bega.

Right, Meg Bracher gets tagged by the Bega Chicks in the Fillies 12-4 loss.

The Fillies play Moruya at Cooma Showground this Saturday.

The Cooma Fillies had a tough final game of the season against the Bega Chicks on Sunday and despite putting in a big effort against a rugged opposition, they eventually went down 12-4.

The loss fortunately does not impact their position for the finals series, with Bombala’s wins over Merimbula-Pambula and Candelo-Bemboka pushing the Fillies out of third place and securing them a home final in fourth position against the Moruya Sharkettes.

The Fillies were slow to start on Sunday, with unforced errors putting them under pressure from Bega’s attackers.

Tammy Povey was instrumental in defence, with Georgie Clarke tagging ruthlessly from marker, while line breaks from Kate Schofield and Kristy Nicholls gave the Fillies hope and good field position.

A missed tag in the middle of the field gave Bega’s Trudi Badullovich a clear run to the line, posting first points in the clash.

The Fillies lifted through Abby Schofield and Meg Bracher who were all over the field and strong defence through Raen Brademanne and Ashleigh Steinke kept the chicks out.

Anna Steel and Louise Barron tested the Chicks in attack and gained ground for the Fillies, but they were unable to get past Bega’s defence which at times seemed to focus on big hits to the body rather than skilful tags.

Meg Bracher showed pace and strength to break the line and looked set to score the Fillies first but as she streaked away she accidentally tagged herself in what was probably the best defensive effort of the day.

A lucky fifth tackle kick from Bega’s halves rebounded off the posts and saw some scrappy handling from Bega as they scrambled for the ball, and despite the Fillies pleas for a clear offside infringement, their second try was awarded. The teams went into half time with the scores at 12-0 with the Fillies hopeful of a second half resurgence.

In the second half, both teams lifted and were locked in a stalemate for almost 15 minutes.

Kate Schofield shone at fullback, returning the ball with gusto and making line breaks which shot the Fillies up the field, while Meg Bracher’s kicking game got the Fillies out of trouble on multiple occasions.

Erin Donnelly, Elise Dyball and Katey Patricks defended well

with Yasmin Williams in support and after a strong attacking set and with Bega trying to reset their defence, Kate Schofield managed to cut through the line and score the Fillies only points of the match.

Despite their efforts, the Cooma side were unable to catch up to the lead that Bega had set in the opening 10 minutes of the game.

For the Fillies, one best and fairest point went to Meg Bracher who was tireless in defence and attack, two points went to Kate Schofield who found herself in amongst every play and dominated the Fillies’ attack, and three points went to speedster Tammy Povey who shut down Bega’s attack time and time again. Players’ Player was shared this week between Meg Bracher and Kate Schofield.

Next Saturday, the Fillies take on the Moruya Sharkettes at the Cooma Showground in a must-win finals game.

Victory here would see the Fillies take on the loser of the first Qualifying Final between the Bega Chicks and the Bombala High-Heelers. Get to the Cooma Showground on Saturday afternoon where all four Cooma sides will fight to keep their finals campaign alive.

Red Devils valiant against the Dirty Reds

Cooma on the burst in the reserves match.

Matt Moxon tries to elude a tackle. Brad Evans gets a pass out from a ruck.

Cooma Red Devils returned to Rotary Oval on Saturday to take on the competition leaders in both grades, the Goulburn Dirty Reds.

Reserve grade took to the field with another thrown together side on Saturday and from the opening whistle applied great pressure early to the Goulburn defence with strong runs from Andrew Stewart, Chris Roberson and Adam Schubert getting over the advantage line.

This gave Cooma good field position but Goulburn’s defence held strong. Goulburn were able to respond to this good defence and when they got their hands on the ball found easy metres through and around the Cooma defence.

Cooma’s defence rallied when Goulburn got close to the Cooma try line but after 15 minutes Goulburn finally cracked the Cooma defence.

This opened the flood gates a bit and Goulburn scored two quick tries. This rattled the Red Devils a bit but Cooma rallied and Adam Schubert was able to bust a number of tackles and score.

Cooma went into half time trailing 26-5, after half time Cooma tried hard to get back into the game on the back of some strong runs from Liam Salt and Harry Roach but Goulburn’s well drilled side were too strong for the young Cooma side and with a flurry of late tries Goulburn ran away with the match 64-5. Points in second grade 1 point Dom Giagios, 2 Harry Roach, 3 Adam Schubert and Players player Dom Giagios.

Curtis Watkins passes the ball in the reserves match.

First grade First grade took to the field on Saturday against premiership front runners Goulburn who have been the bench mark team for the past two years.

Cooma were playing in front of a large crowd which was made up of over

Ryan Morgan with Tom Ladhams in support.

100 old boys who had come back to enjoy the weekend’s festivities.

Cooma was also celebrating Phil Johnson playing his 100th club game.

Cooma started with great intensity and great defence from Tom Ladhams, Ryan Morgan and Pat Egan had Goulburn going backwards and with this Cooma was stopping any roll on that Goulburn was getting with their big forwards not making the easy metres that they were used to making. Cooma applied a lot of early pressure to the Goulburn defence with strong runs from Phil Johnson, James Strange and Chris De Rooy making good metres through the middle of the paddock.

Cooma had all the early ball but it was Goulburn who were able to score first when they capitalised on a Cooma mistake and were able to score.

They backed this up with another quick try to take a 12-0 lead after 15 minutes. Cooma were able to hit back after a rolling maul from five metres out saw Jimmy Nichols dive over for a try.

Ryan Morgan was unable to convert but Cooma was right back in the game, Goulburn were again able to make the most of good field position late in the half and score two more tries.

After half time Goulburn came out and scored nearly straight away which made it a hard task for Cooma to get back into the game.

Cooma rallied and on the back of some strong runs from Ben Scott, Matthew Moxon and Harry Roach Cooma found themselves in good field position and from another rolling maul James Strange was able to crash over out wide.

Goulburn then lifted its intensity and scored three converted tries to take the game away from the Red Devils but solid defence from Aidan Herbert, Andrew Rolfe and Matt Jamesion stopped further points from been scored.

The Red Devils were able to score a try in the 80th minute when Cooma played some good attacking football and Pat Egan was once again able to crash through the defence and score under the posts after a number of attacking raids had been pulled up millimetres short of the try line.

Phil Johnson kicked the goal but Goulburn ran out winners 52-17.

See you on the greens.

Ella Davis (U/14 Women) threw a Personal Best of 29.52m in the Hammer at the Athletics ACT High Noon Competition last weekend.

This throw bettered the National Youth Championships Qualifying distance by 3½ metres at her first outing for the new season.

Ella has her sights on the Athletics ACT U/14 Female Hammer Record of 31.79m, which was set by another Cooma Girl, Hayley Jones 13 months ago. Ella has only six months to achieve her quest, then she moves up into the U/16 age bracket.

Ella’s first major Hammer event will be the NSW All Schools Championships in October where she will be seeing if she can be selected in NSW Team for the Australian All Schools in Melbourne

in December. Ella has to be first or second to earn a place on the NSW School Team for the Australian All School in Melbourne.

Jordan Davis was also competing in Canberra in the U/14 Men’s Hammer at the weekend.

This was Jordan’s first outing since finishing sixth at the Australian Youth Championships in March. Jordan’s performance on the day was just below the ACT State Record (which he holds) at 25.49m with a heave of 23.04m.

Jordan has another 17 months to post the Record well over 40m.

Jordan is unable to attend the NSW All Schools competition in October as he is still at Christian Primary School and the competition is only open to Secondary Students.

No play due to wet weather last Wednesday and only 12 players on Saturday, of whom four were playing Minor Singles.

John Vincent and Ken Rees finished their match delayed from July 11 with John leading 13/12 on end 18. John made a great restart by gaining four shots on the first (19th) end.

Ken recovered slightly to trail 17/19 on 24 but from then on John prevailed to win 31/19 on end 32.

In the other Minor Singles game Bob Douglass kept Wayne Flynn on three shots for 12 ends to lead 19/3. Wayne held multiple shots on several occasions but on most of them Bob was able to counter and went on to win 31/16. In Social games Max Butler and Terry George had an up and down battle with Ron Wainwright and Mark Buckley to be 7/7 on end 10.

In winning six of the remaining ends played Max and Terry ran out winners 19/13. Wendy King and Don Jarvis set up an eight shot lead over Judy Locker and Richard Nichols after 10 ends and were able to withstand a determined fight back by Judy and Richard to win 19/15.

Although Sunday’s weather was a vast improvement on Saturday’s, only 12 players turned up for a game.

Darren Collins, Olga Jebbink and Brian Seears had a stop start game with Rowan Venables, Maureen D’Amico and Jack Sajina over the early ends to be 11/11 on 13.

At that point Darren, Olga and Brian gradually pulled ahead and ran out winners 25/15.

Ken Rees, Don Jarvis and Giulio D’Amico had a real tussle with Keith Goodwin, Mike Mannile and Dawn Russell with four shots being the largest margin but scores level on four occasions with Ken, Don and Giulio winning 20/19 to wrap up a very pleasant match.

Don’t forget the Annual General Meeting on Sunday August 9 with a sausage sizzle to follow.

Some new blood is required to give the long serving members a breather.
