Member for Eden-Monaro, Dr Peter Hendy, has been promoted into the Turnbull Ministry, announced on Sunday, September 20.

“I thank the Prime Minister for the honour to serve as Australia’s Assistant Minister for Productivity.

“The Prime Minister has announced a 21st Century Government and Ministry.

“This will ensure Australia remains a prosperous, firstworld economy. To do this we must remain more competitive, more productive, and more innovative,” said Dr Hendy “There is little that determines a country’s standard of living more than its rate of productivity growth.

Over time, productivity growth has a compound effect and can have dramatic effect on our prosperity.

“These responsibilities will enhance my work in the electorate of Eden-Monaro.

“That is why I am honoured and excited to be making a contribution in this area,” Dr Hendy said.

The Portfolio responsibilities will be focussed on advancing the Government’s economic reform program.

on the Government’s commitment to reducing red-tape.

“Cutting red tape is essential if we are to reduce the burden of government regulation, provide a boost for employment, and if we are to take the pressure off prices that families face every day,” Dr Hendy said.

Additionally, Dr Hendy will advise the Prime Minister on tax reform and competition policy.

The portfolio responsibilities are aligned with Dr Hendy’s policy interests and experience, and reflect his high standing based on merit and accomplishment.

Dr Hendy, who has a PhD in Government, has had an extensive and impressive career in the public and private sector.

For six years, Dr Hendy was the Chief Executive of the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, during which time he was awarded a Centenary Medal by the Governor-General for services to the business community.

His many accomplishments include being a director of Standards Australia,

the International Chamber of Commerce (Australia), the Australian Institute of International Affairs, the Australian Made Campaign Limited, and the National Business Action Fund.

He was governor of the National Institute of Labour Studies, Chairman of the Joint Policy Committee of the Confederation of Asia-Pacific Chambers of Commerce and Industry, and the Australian representative on the Business and Industry Advisory Committee (BIAC) of the OECD. Dr Hendy was also the Executive Director of the Bharani Economic Development Board.

From page 1 There is an innovation now available which makes the life of Diabetes type 1 sufferers so much easier.

For many years, patients with this form of diabetes have had to rely solely on regular insulin injections to get them through their day.

Bit modern technology has now made life a whole lot easier, with the development of a compact insulin pump which works all day to keep insulin levels at the required level.

Not only that, but the pump’s computer allows easy downloads of the patient’s day which can be monitored remotely.

While pumps have been available for about 30 years, they were more like a backpack than the compact device now available from Animas.

One diabetes sufferer on the Monaro, Richard Mould, is using the pump.

Like other long-term diabetics, Richard doesn’t get the symptoms which would indicate he is going hyper or hypo, hence the need for finger prick tests as well.

A transmitter connected to the pump talks to the device, relaying necessary data.

This information can also be downloaded onto a computer, allowing constant monitoring.

The new technology means diabetics in Cooma and surrounding regions can have more of a life, with constant support available.

More information about the availability of the pump (normally only available to Type 1 diabetics) is available from the diabetes educators at Cooma Hospital.

Bibbenluke Public School is no more

One of the three remaining students at Bibbenluke Public School, Maeya Olding, rings the bell for the last time.

Bibbenluke Public School has closed.

Last Sunday a special day of commemoration was enjoyed at the school with past pupils, teachers and principals present.

With only three students enrolled at Bibbenluke Public School, the difficult decision was made by the Department of Education some months ago to close the chool.

Factors considered were small and declining numbers (only three students attend the school with all three students considering leaving the school), low enrolments compared to capacity, difficulty retaining staff, the availability of an alternative school nearby in Bombala and the inability to provide a full range of educational experiences.

Sunday’s celebrations included the opening of a time capsule planted on October 5, 1996, by the then principal Jane Crotty.

The school celebrated its centenary in 1971, so it has had a long history of educating childen from around the district.

The school’s oldest pupil Kitty Piesley was one of those in attendance.

The day included a display

Several ex-principals travelled back to Bibbenluke to farewell the old school last Sunday. of historic photographs, school records and school memorabilia.

There was also a suitcase full of clothing from the Rhythm stock left behind. Finger print analysis is pending.

At 11pm on Friday, a man was charged with the possession of 9.7g of cannabis after his vehicle was pulled over by police in Cooma due to the manner of his driving. The local

Police received a report of theft from a car occurring on Creek Street, Cooma. Some keys and an iPod were taken from the vehicle some time between 8.30pm on Thursday and 8.30am on Friday.

Second District Governor of Lions Club Chris Howard with Mayor Dean Lynch and Cooma Lions President Luke Pope at the civic reception last Wednesday.

Last Wednesday the community welcomed a special guest to Cooma. A civic reception was held at the Council chambers for Lions Club Second Vice District Governor, Chris Howard.

With representatives from Cooma Rotary, CWA, Probus Club, Snowy Hydro, the Leo Club and of course, the Lions Club, Mr Howard received a warm welcome at the reception on Wednesday afternoon.

Mr Howard was in the region representing the District Governor, Sally Wilton, to get an update on what the Cooma Lions Club has been up to, and what plans there are for the future.

Mayor Dean Lynch welcomed Mr Howard and commented on the important role the Lions Club plays in our community.

“Lions do a great job in our community,” he said, “There is a real joy in achieving something for your community. To be able to change someone’s life, even in a very simple way, is an amazing thing.”

Having been shown around town earlier in the day, Mr Howard stated that he was very impressed

by the achievements already made by the Cooma Lions Club, including the Southern Cloud memorial, the Lambie gorge walking track and the nurses’ quarters at the Cooma Hospital.

“It seems that in smaller regional communities such as this one, the club is able to identify exactly what is needed in the community and they are also very good at developing the best ways to address those needs,” he said, “The Lions Club here also seems to have a positive relationship with the local council as well as with State politicians.”

Mr Howard was also impressed by the future endeavours planned by the Cooma Lions Club, particularly the upgrade of Lions Park on Yallakool Road.

With the 100th anniversary year of the International Lions Club coming up in 2017, Mr Howard said it was important to continue to encourage people like the Leo Club to volunteer and work together to help the community.

Penny Chapman to open the Gully Gang Exhibition

Producer Penny Chapman, familiar to many from such ABC productions as The Slap, Blue Murder, and Brides of Christ which she also devised, will be the special guest opening the sixth annual Gully Gang exhibition at the Raglan Gallery, Cooma, on September 26 at 3pm.

The Gully Gang is a group of local, Sydney, and regional friends who meet to make art together.

They include Walkley Award winning cartoonist Jenny Coopes, who is now studying full time at the National Art School, and a local artist taught by Roger Moore.

Like all the members, Bernadette Nater, Alison Starr, Deborah Theiler, Jim Hart, Gaye Beyers, Katrina Daly, Jan Carpenter and David Morgan feature regularly among prize-winners in art shows.

Some like Patricia Boisgard, have studied with Jackie Gorring and the late Chris Graham. Lesley

Henstridge and Helen Bohl came to art through quilting. Kerri Lenehan trained originally in textile design, printing and millinery. Ollie Henstridge’s company ‘Feral Fabrics’ produced silk screen printed fabrics for some of Australia’s best-known designers. She is now a specialist gilder and framer.

The exhibition will feature over 90 works in acrylic, oils, prints, mixed media, and ceramics. Each year the group set themselves an additional task: to create the most challenging, amusing, or interesting work based on a set theme. This year the theme is Light. Samantha Donnelly building designer, sessional teacher of architectural and interior spatial design at three universities in Sydney, mother and artist, will judge the competition.

And the artist taught by Roger Moore? Only a visit to the exhibition will reveal that.

The exhibition will run until 17 October.

Donation to Cooma Hospital Auxiliary At the recent meeting of the Cooma Hospital Auxiliary Hazel Walker on behalf of the Cooma Travelling Bowlers presented a cheque for $1500 to the auxiliary. The donation is the result of the Cooma Travelling Bowlers having to wind up because of a decline in the number of bowlers who are able to travel for social bowls. Bowlers had travelled from Bega, Bombala, Nimmitabel, Jindabyne and Cooma.

Peter Harris was the president of the Cooma Travelling Bowlers for over 25 years and with Hazel Walker as Secretary and Annie Davison as Treasurer.The bowlers enjoyed much fun and had many good times together over the years and a big thank you goes out to them.

The much appreciated donation will be put towards the purchase of a Colposcope which will cost over $7,000 and will be used in the operating theatre at the Cooma hospital.

Colposcopy is a procedure that allows a physician to take a closer look at a women’s cervix and vagina using a special instrument called a Colposcope. It is used to check for precancerous or abnormal areas.

The Colposcope can magnify the area between 10 to 40 times and helps to identify abnormal areas of the cervix and vagina so that small pieces of tissue (biopsies) can be taken for further analysis.

Coming up in November the Auxiliary will be hosting a lunch to celebrate their 85th birthday and will invite members of other auxiliaries in their zone to share this event with them.

Although small in numbers the auxiliary still manage to provide much needed equipment for use in the hospital to help patients and staff. The auxiliary acknowledge that without the generosity of the community this would not be possible. If you have time on your hands and you would like to help and have a good time while raising money for equipment for our hospital, then come along and join us. We meet on the 2nd Thursday of the month at 2pm in the Education Centre at the Cooma Hospital. New members would be very welcome.

Let us hold high the lamp of service for the welfare of our hospital.

Don’t miss Jindy Idol! :/67 36*(3 :/67 36*(3 )<@ 36*(3 :<7769; 36*(3

General Manager, JOE VESCIO

On behalf of Council, I extend our congratulations to Australia’s new Prime Minister, Mr Malcolm Turnbull.

We look forward to working with Mr Turnbull and his Ministers on the future challenges and development within Local Government and to ensure that the future of Snowy River Shire is a priority.

We do not expect much to change at a National level however as you all would be aware, the State Government is currently undertaking the Fit For the Future (FFTF) reforms that will determine the future of Local Government within New South Wales (NSW).

The Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) have been assessing how NSW Councils meet the FFTF criteria based on their individual submissions.

We are very pleased that Council will be presenting to IPART next week as part of Snowy River’s FFTF assessment. We are looking forward to this opportunity and I will be working very closely with my Executives and staff to ensure that the presentation will contribute positively to our submission.

Whilst undertaking the FFTF process, it became evident that we need to do more on our infrastructure backlog and in particular on our roads. As part of our commitment to become FFTF, Council launched the Roads Condition Campaign. A Community Meeting will be held on Saturday, 26 September from 3pm at the Berridale Hall and the Roads Conditions Survey is still open until Friday 25 September.

I strongly urge everyone who has an interest in our roads to attend the meeting and to complete the survey. Further details are available on our website, or you can contact our Customer Service Officers who will happily assist you.

Have you entered or bought your tickets yet for ‘Jindy Idol’? If not, don’t delay as this event is coming soon on Saturday 3rd October at Jindabyne Memorial Hall.

If you are wishing to showcase your talent on the evening, entry forms are available at the Snowy Region Visitor Centre, Snowprint Bookshop, Design and Detail, Kosciuszko First national, Cooma Visitor Centre and Cooma School of Music. Entry costs $20 for individuals, $30 for trios, and $40 for groups of three or more.

Tickets, $25.00 for adults and $12.00 for children, are selling fast but are available from the Snowy Region Visitor

Information Centre and Cooma Visitor Centre.

Your ticket includes a glass of bubbly and nibbles on arrival, any time from 6pm, a delicious supper and a ticket in the draw for a lucky door prize. The show will start at 7pm sharp. Our annual raffle draw will be held at the end of the night.

Cash payment is required at the time of booking.

Please note that any sized group can be catered for; Small groups are welcome and may be seated with others at a table.

The Tim Draxl Performing Arts Fund looks forward to seeing you at Jindy Idol 2015!

Berridale Lions Spring Fair For 13 years the Berridale Lions have ended their long winter break with the Spring Fair.

This year it will be held on Saturday October 3 of the Long Weekend, from 9am to 2pm.

One of the challenges with running our Fairs is providing variety so that each Fair is not the same old, same old.

We are continuing with the “MONSTER” Fair format trialled at the Spring Fair in 2012, so that there will be activities, entertainment and stall variety to satisfy the most fastidious of patrons. Because of the large number of stallholders the Fair will extend over both the Lions Park and the Centennial Park on Jindabyne Road.

For the interest of Fair patrons there will be guided tours of the Historic Aitchison House, fire safety demonstrations by the Berridale RFS, SES equipment

demonstration, a static display of ex-Snowy heavy equipment and a static display of vintage and veteran motor vehicles.

For the children there will be a Small Animal Petting Zoo, a Jumping Castle, a Laughing Clown game and at 11.30am a lolly scramble, Music is important to the ambiance of the Fair and ‘Wallpaper’ an acoustic and percussion duo, is the group to provide this music Hot food will be available from the Lions barbeque with a wide choice of wholesome food at reasonable prices Concurrently the ladies of the CWA will be providing Devonshire tea in their hall adjacent to the Anglican Church –a nice way for people take a break from the events of the Fair.

support so that we in turn can return to the community in some tangible form the money we raise.

Examples of this support include a donation of $1000 to the Berridale OOSHC (Out of School Hours Care) to help tide them over while waiting on government funding.

Remembering that community extends beyond the town boundaries, the Club has also donated $1000 to the Christmas Child project organised by Robyn Woodhouse which provides a box of goodies at Christmas to disadvantaged children in other countries and $400 to the Zimbabwe Goat project organised by Judith Dixon which provides practical assistance (goats) to widows and their children in Zimbabwe.

2015 Cooma Universities Centre Education Students Applications are now open for the 2016 Bachelor or Education Degree at the Cooma Universities Centre.

The degree ran for the first time this year and we caught up with a few of our local students to check in on their “distance with assistance” degree experience at the CUC. LAUREN SWAIN Lauren travelled overseas and worked in a school for a year after completing her HSC at Monaro High School in 2013. Upon her return to Cooma, she decided it was unrealistic to move away for study due to the need to work and save after a year abroad. So when the Lauren Swain.

CUC released that they were going to run a face-to-face Bachelor of Education degree she jumped at the opportunity. “When I returned home from overseas I wasn’t content at the idea of just working, I needed a new challenge and I really wanted to kick-start University. CUC has enabled me to start my university degree without having to move away from home. I have the opportunity to study, work and save so that in the future I can financially support myself through full time study. The face to face tutorials with other students are great at keeping me on track with my studies and the tutors and campus co-ordinators dedication to all the students is admirable. I truly am lucky to have such amazing support through my first year of my bachelor of education degree.”

Michelle Mitchell.

MICHELLE MITCHELL Busy mother of three Michelle had always had been intending to study education and it was the option of studying for her degree in Cooma that saw her take the step.

“I had thought about doing this for a long time and I would still be thinking about it if it wasn’t for CUC. I’ve successfully completed semester one and it feels great,” she says. “It was tough getting started and finding the time to study initially, but now I am really enjoying the challenge. The girls are really excited about it too; now my girls and I study and do homework together.”

TANYA DODDS Tanya had already embarked on her education degree

Tanya Dodds. with a 100% distance learning option and jumped at the chance to transfer to the CUC degree. “I can’t believe the difference having face-to-face tutorials and other students has made to my studies. I have more enthusiasm, my results are so much better and I am really enjoying the whole experience. The CUC facilities and the support from Zoe have also made everything so much easier –we’re so lucky to have this education opportunity right here in Cooma.”

If you are interested in applying or have any queries about university study, contact Zoe at the Cooma Universities Centre for further details by calling 6452 3368 or emailing zoe.dawson@coomauc.com.au

Whole school choir singing Speak to the Sky. With the busiest of terms now behind us itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to believe just how much activity we have fit into the last few weeks.

Our Small Schools Athletics Relay team competed at the Sydney Olympic Stadium in the state-wide Catholic Schools MacKillop Carnival and gained a very commendable 4th place in NSW! Congratulations to Jack Ventry, Lachie Simpson, Lilly Day-Edgecombe, Beau Brownlie and reserve Connor Sten. This success occurred only days after the conclusion of our Ski Program at Thredbo where the children made a great impression on staff and instructors alike with their enthusiasm and willingness to challenge themselves on a whole range of slopes.

The rewards for effort were evident at the Term 3 Assembly held this week in front of a large audience of parents, relatives and friends. The award winners were: â&#x20AC;˘ Infants Class Awards (Mrs Shannon/Mrs Sten): Grace Phillips, Jakeb Gay, Joshua Tellis, Aden McIntosh, Sarah Marks, Ari Sten. â&#x20AC;˘ Primary Class Awards wards (Ms Moreing/Mrs Sten): Evan Phillips, Alex Peisley, ley, Tait McIntosh, Orlando do Papalia. â&#x20AC;˘ Senior Class Awardss (Mr Bennett): Beau au Brownlie, Paige Hurley, ey, James Tellis, Courtney Harty.

â&#x20AC;˘ Mrs Forresterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Awards: Cody Bruce and Hayden Roberts â&#x20AC;˘ Principalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Awards: Miller Stewart, Jackson Tellis, Montanna Chamberlain, Connor Sten.

The Awards Ceremony followed a series of spectacular presentations by each class which included a song by the Infants Class about coping with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wet Weatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, to a presentation by the Primary Class on â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we should be grateful for in our livesâ&#x20AC;? and then stories of Convict Days by the Senior Class. For many the highlight was a whole school choir version of the song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Speak to the Skyâ&#x20AC;? of which Rick Springfield would be proud.

The last day of term was even more exciting with a whole school excursion to Canberra to visit Questacon, the National Arboretum and the National Zoo and Aquarium.

With no chance to sit back and reflect on the term, staff were very busy in the last couple of days of term removing classroom furniture, wall posters and everything else in preparation for major refurbishments over the holidays when new carpet, painting, new ceilings and acoustic wall panels will acous be installed in the St Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classrooms.

Jo Is it any wonder that staff and students look st exhausted at the end of ex a school term!! s

Friday September 18 marked the conclusion of formal schooling for our graduating Year 12 class, as they now prepare for the final stage of their school education, their HSC examination, at the start of next term.

It is a significant day for these students, before a new chapter in their lives begins. SMGS staff members celebrated this milestone with the students at the inaugural Year 12 Farewell Breakfast on this day and then later, the whole school and Year 12 parents were present for the Year 12 Farewell Chapel.

The school community was able to acknowledge the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; considerable contributions over the years and to wish them well for the future.

A special farewell video was prepared for the students by the staff and to Dr Darryl Nelson for the amount of time he spent filming and editing this video, which can be found on our Facebook page.

Good luck to all of the Year 12 students in the Monaro as they prepare for their HSC.

Projects Inspire Innovation for HSC Markers On Thursday, 10th September, Snowy Mountains Grammar Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Year 12 Design and Technology students presented their Major Design Projects to the external HSC markers. This year, three students, inspired by innovation and design, produced three very creative projects of outstanding quality.

Design and Technology offers students the opportunity to produce a system, environment or physical product. This year, SMGS students designed, developed and produced one system and two products.

Anton Fischer designed and produced an exceptional bamboo, carbon-fibre, electricpowered bicycle, which was a response to the growing demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly forms of transport.

Anton achieved this, and so much more, with this fantastic project, incorporating aesthetics to produce a stylish bicycle using advanced technologies. Antonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s folio is also a credit to his commitment to create high quality

projects. Exceeding 15,000 words, this folio is an asset for any future endeavour of Antonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Joshua Matthes designed and produced a model of a system that was inspired by a contemporary engineering need in Australian society. This innovative project draws upon the latest in 3D printing technology and the problem of long-distance transportation between Australian cities. Joshua, with advice from a practising engineer, created the CRAYG system which 3D prints speed train tracks, drastically decreasing the construction time and cost of building a speed train between Sydney and Melbourne, via Canberra. Joshuaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for engineering has assisted him in receiving a place at the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) for Aeronautical Engineering.

Mitchell Breitfuss undertook a most challenging project. He designed and developed highly detailed three-dimensional and two-dimensional orthogonal drawings for an ergonomic mouse which incorporates a stylus pen. This product presents a solution to a market saturated with stylus pens and ergonomic mice, but not a combination of both. To complete this electronics project, Mitchell made several prototypes from clay and 3D printing and learnt the finer art of developing electronics projects and engineering drawings using a computer-aided

drafting program called Rhinoceros.

Yet again, the Design and Technology students at SMGS have outdone themselves by designing and producing highly creative and innovative projects that draw upon advanced manufacturing technologies - all too important skills in the modern global economy. The subject is growing in popularity and we are looking forward to seeing what innovative projects the current nine Year 11 students will design and produce for next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s HSC.

JCS farewells Year 12 Class of 2015 Compassion, hard work, determination and perseverance are some of the traits for which Jindabyne Central Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (JCS) Year 12 Class of 2015 will be remembered.

All 24 Year 12 students were farewelled from JCS at a special assembly on Friday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; their last day at the school where many had started in kindergarten 13 years ago.

They now face a couple more weeks study before sitting their Higher School Certificate (HSC) exams.

Incoming 2016 JCS captain Rachel Hukins admitted she felt a little scared trying to fill the shoes the outgoing Year 12s had left behind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These shoes are going to be hard to fill because you have most certainly raised the bar, showing us that it is possible to achieve greatness in academic, cultural and sporting fields through sheer hard work, determination and perseverance,â&#x20AC;?

Rachel said.

She went on say Year 12 had reminded the rest of the school about the importance of being compassionate towards peers, being quick to surround friends when they fell and working together to unite. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have stepped out and stepped up, facing and overcoming challenges, making friends, facing enemies, celebrating success and understanding failures,â&#x20AC;? Rachel said.

JCSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Year 12 Class of 2015 was given some advice from Principal Debbie-Lee Hughes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go out and be willing to make mistakesâ&#x20AC;?.

Ms Hughes said good judgment comes from experience and experience from bad judgment, so it was important to make mistakes along the way.

She urged her students to do what they do for no other reason than because they love it and believe it is important. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Resist the easy comforts of complacency, the paralysis of instant gratification. Be worthy of your advantages and live life to the fullest,â&#x20AC;? Ms Hughes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dream big. Work Hard. Think for yourself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fulfilling life, the distinctive life, is an achievement - not something that will fall into your lap because you are a nice person.â&#x20AC;?

Ms Hughes asked her students to decide in their hearts

what excited and challenged them and asked them to move their life in that direction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You may not be exactly at where you thought youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be but you will be doing what you believe in,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let life randomly kick you into an adult you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to become.â&#x20AC;?

Ms Hughes urged the 25 graduating Year 12 students to make their lives extraordinary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are dealt the cards you are dealt - life consists not of holding good cards, but having the ability to play the ones you do have, well,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Year 12 captains and vice captains Michaela Molloy, Brian Hukins, Zoe Bradbury and Daniel Truscott, along with Student Representative Council leader Max Howitt, gave a joint farewell speech â&#x20AC;&#x201C; reminiscing about their past 13 years together at school.

Daniel said he truly had experienced the time of his life and had been given the opportunity to achieve goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These achievements really mean a lot to me,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of growing up and becoming a part of society. JCS has truly prepared me to be in the best position.â&#x20AC;?

Michaela said it was scary to think that when school started back next term, she and her friends would not have to start the day by putting on their school uniform and heading to JCS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something they had done for 13 years.

Margaret enjoying life in Cooma 50 years on Madeline Russell Born in Nowra, but later moving to Queensland where she grew up on a dairy farm, Margaret Hassall would later devote her working life to being a teacher.

Margaret’s first four years of teaching started in Queensland, in 1961, but she later moved to Cooma in 1965 when she got married.

Once Margaret moved to Cooma, she carried on in her teaching career and taught at the Cooma Public School and the Cooma North Public School. She later left the Public Schools and started relief work in 1968-69 while she had her two children.

After relief teaching for two years, Margaret started teaching at the Brigidine High School in 1970, which is now known as St Patrick’s. She became the school’s Librarian in 1978 and still says today that she loved being a librarian teacher and loved working at St Pat’s.

After living in Cooma for 50 years, Margaret became a member of the Rotary Club in 2009 and from 2013-14 she was Club President.

During her time as Club President, Margaret was involved in chair meetings and her main fundraising was done for the Monaro Early Intervention Service (MEIS). Margaret said, “The reason I had such a lovely year as President was because I was supported by both the board and the members.” Margaret is still involved in the Rotary Club today, producing the club’s

bulletin every week, keeping her very busy.

She is also involved in the markets, which is the club’s main fundraiser.

Margaret said, “Becoming a part of the

Rotary Club has enabled me to meet a whole lot of people that I never would have met.”

As well as keeping herself busy with the Rotary Club, Margaret has also been

organising the St Patrick’s reunions for 25 years for the ex-students and says she still thoroughly enjoys it.

“I love knowing what my ex-students have become and love to hear that they have decided to move back to Cooma”, Margaret said.

Margaret also enjoys playing her guitar at the St Patrick’s Church and playing her Euphonium with the Cooma District Band.

She has three grandchildren, two to her daughter who is an Executive in the Public Service and lives in Canberra and one to her son who is a Maintenance Engineer in coal mining and lives in Mackay.

Margaret also does the sound affects for plays held at the Cooma Little Theatre, she proof reads and edits memoirs, theses, job applications and resumes for people in the community as well as occasionally relief teaching at St Pat’s.

She says that the biggest difference in teaching today and when she taught earlier on in her career is, “Kids have to contend with more social issues these days.” Teaching has become a much tougher job because of social issues and documentation.”

Life is good for Margaret because she has so many good friends surrounding her and she loves and enjoys being part of the Rotary Club and is very happy doing what she does around the community.

PET SHOP PANEL ,QFXEDWLRQ +LQWV DQG 7LSV As many of you may have seen we have an incubator set up in the front of the shop we have chickens and duck set come in any time and have alook.

Collection and Storage of Eggs When collecting eggs for incubation select the best ovoid (egg-shaped) eggs, without any lumps and bumps, do not keep eggs with thin or rough shells, and neither overly large nor overly small eggs as these will most likely not hatch. If you need to clean an egg do not immerse or soak it in water. Use a damp cloth to wipe off excess dirt and manure. Do not scour the egg as you may scrape off the protective coating leaving the egg vulnerable to external contamination.

Eggs may be collected and stored for up to seven days before incubating, longer than this and your hatch results will start to deteriorate. Make sure that you turn the eggs at least once per day while in storage to keep the embryo from dying. The eggs should be kept at room temperature for best results. If the eggs cool to below 8 degrees Celsius some of the embryos may be killed and if the eggs start getting too warm then the eggs may start to incubate early and will then die if cooled. Store your eggs at between 8 and 25 degrees Celsius for best results.

By putting all of one week’s eggs into the incubator at the same time they will all hatch around the same time. This is much easier to manage than having eggs hatching every day, which is what would happen if you were putting eggs into the incubator every day.

Turning Eggs There are two methods of turning eggs in incubators. Eggs may be laid on their side and turned from 45 to 180 degrees by rolling them, or they may be stood in some sort of tray point down and tilted from one side to the other. Both methods are used in commercial incubators today. An easy method of turning eggs during storage before incubation is to put the eggs point down in an egg carton and place one end on a tissue box or equivalent height object. Once a day, move the carton to the other side of the box tilting the eggs from side to side.

Incubating Eggs Up until the last 2-3 days of incubation, eggs will require a constant temperature and humidity. They will also need to be turned a minimum of twice a day and preferably three or five times a day. If you are turning the eggs manually, you do not need to turn the eggs exactly every eight hours, however a reasonable period of time between turns is better if you are only turning the eggs 3 times a day. (e.g. early morning, late afternoon & before bed) If you are using an auto-turning incubator, these will usually turn the eggs every one to four hours.

During the last 2-3 days of incubation the eggs no longer need to be turned but they will require extra humidity. Each type of incubator will have suggestions as to how to increase the humidity at this time. Usually this involves closing air vents and adding more water to the incubator. Make sure that at all times fresh air can still get in and stale air get out of the incubator as eggs breath much like we do and require fresh air and have the need to replace stale old air. A large proportion of problems due to poor hatches can be directly related to incubator humidity so purchasing a humidity gauge for your incubator (if it does not have one) is usually a sound investment.

Ambient environmental conditions will affect both the temperature and humidity inside the incubator. Make sure that the incubator is kept between the suggested temperature ranges for the specific model. Most small incubators recommend an outside temperature of between sixteen and twenty-six degrees Celsius. This is because a lot of small incubators do not have strong enough heaters to heat the incubator up enough at very low ambient temperatures. Incubators are only designed to heat, and at high ambient temperatures no incubator can cool itself down.

Controlling Humidity If you need to increase or decrease the humidity in your incubator beyond what can be accomplished by adjusting the vents then you will need to increase or decrease the surface area of water in the incubator. If you need to reduce the surface area of water to less than one tray of water in the incubator, you can float small pieces of polystyrene in the water tray to reduce the exposed surface area. If there is room in the incubator and you would prefer better humidity control, you can replace the existing water tray with one or more ice block trays. This way you can fill as many small ice block sections as needed. Always try to use plastic trays inside your incubator, as they are easy to clean and keep sterile.

Hatching Once the eggs have started to hatch, the chicks can stay in the incubator for up to twenty-four hours before they need to be removed to a brooder. During this time the chicks will dry off and finish absorbing the remaining yolk sac. Do not remove the chicks from the incubator before they are dry and fluffy as they may develop a chill. Some eggs may take an extra day or two to hatch, so do not immediately discard eggs that are unhatched after the hatching period for your eggs. Chicks that hatch much later than others will tend to be weaker and sicker than the rest so you will have to judge at what point to discontinue hatching a batch of eggs.

A brooder may be as simple as a box with a lamp hanging over it for warmth to as sophisticated as a thermostatically, humidity controlled parrot rearing unit. For most young birds there will be something in between.

St Pat’s students on work experience

by Madeline Russell Last week, the year 10 students from St Patrick’s School had the opportunity to go out onto the workforce for their one-week work experience.

Ranging from a number of different businesses in and out of the town, the students all said how much they enjoyed the experience.

Work experience student, Jennifer Fraser was lucky enough to do her week’s work at the Canberra Zoo. From feeding and cleaning the animals at the zoo and being able to interact with her favourite animal there, the lemurs, Jennifer says, “You don’t really realise how much work is put into looking after the animals until you have helped out in looking after them too.”

Year 10 student, Erin Pearce was also extremely lucky to go to the Canberra Theatre.

Erin was fortunate enough to be able to help out with technical rehearsals for the play “Ghosts in the Scheme”, that is based on the Snowy Mountains Scheme, usher her school to their seats for the show and assist with the advertising and marketing for the theatre.

Erin says that watching the musicians and actors perform on stage was very interesting and shows how much time and effort goes into the show.

Another student from St Patrick’s, Abby Macnab also took to the workforce last week, trying out work at the Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy.

Abby was able to observe physio sessions with clients while at the surgery, nursing home, hydrotherapy pool and during home visits. She says, “Coming to Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy has given me a great insight into all the things physiotherapists do and it has built my confidence a lot.”

St Patrick’s student, Annagh Weston also took the opportunity to do her work experience at Lambie Street Pre-School last week.

Annagh had an enjoyable time playing with the children in the mornings, listening to the children’s news that they had to share and enjoying the plays that the kids put on for everyone.

She says that it was really good to see what it was like teaching young kids as it is something that she is interested in.

Annagh also said that the teachers at Lambie Street spend a lot of time behind the scenes preparing things for the children that sometimes goes unnoticed.

After having a taste of the working life, the students said that it was a good opportunity to see what it’s like in the workforce and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Madeline Russell spent last week in the newsroom at The Monaro Post.

She accompanied journalists on their rounds, took photographs, assisted with proof-reading and was able to interview her fellow students on their work-experience placements.

The Monaro Post was happy to sponsor Maddy for her week and hopes that she seriously considers journalism as a career.

the

postman calls

There is one thing one can always be sure of on the Monaro – the weather is always variable.

Just when we thought we had turned the corner on winter, back he blows.

Enough already, we’d like fruit this year please, Mother Nature!

With our local Federal Member now close to the ear of the Prime Minister, will the electorate have an advantage?

Let’s hope so – the region needs a boost.

When one reflects on local matters, we USED to have a regular airline service from Sydney and Melbourne, we USED to have a railway, we USED to have a large bakery, a milk depot and both the hospital and gaol had kitchens on site.

All of those things meant we had plenty of employment opportunities for a wide variety of people.

Things sure have changed…

It’s time State, Federal and Local Government representatives sat down and discussed what industry this region can support.

An expanded aged care facility is one idea!

Let’s hope Peter’s words come to fruition and we do get more towers, particularly on the areas Monaro that missed out in the $100 million grants ($8.52 million for the Eden – Monaro Electorate Let’s hope we can get a decent ABC 1602 AM transmission Service in the near future too Thank you for your support Brian Curzon Cooma

Riposte Lisa Ashurst Some months back I mentioned that my faithful old computer was beginning to exhibit many of the classical signs of a machine on the verge of packing it in. Not the Blue Screen of Death thank heavens but things like hesitant start-ups, failing sometimes to open beyond “Welcome”, the coloured-stripes-likea-test-pattern screen and a couple of other little hiccups so I have to commend it for hanging in there until I was actually ready to go shopping for a new one, a point at which I have now arrived.

Mention of this shopping expedition however has had a profound effect on my kids, who are all gung-ho about coming with me and have volunteered all kinds of assistance from choosing which brand I should get (I’ve actually already decided this for myself), the model (yes, that too) right up to the liaison with the salesperson, so my trip to the store has developed into quite the family affair. And here I was all confident that I could manage the purchase my new computer by myself.

Obviously I was very wrong. The kids believe they should be there because a) they know exactly which computer would be the best choice, b) know exactly which programs etc I should ensure are on it and c) can thoroughly discuss all of this with the salesperson for me because they’re much more at home with the lingo. Seriously? Like, I had absolutely no idea I would need all this guidance when shopping for a new computer (that would be the one I have already decided I want and I’m sticking to my guns here!) but...there

you go! Apparently I cannot do this alone. (Yeah, I could.). But anyway...

Between you and me though, I think it’s more a case of them just loving all the gadgetry and any excuse to spend a fair chunk of time in an electronics store will do, especially if one of us is going to be walking out the door with a nice shiny new computer at the end of it. Then, what with the thrill of setting it up for me when I get it home (Daughter insists!) and the full-on demo (Daughter...) they are going to have a super fun time! Isn’t it lucky I have children, for despite all the years I have spent using various computers I apparently don’t know a darn thing about them!

But on the other hand, there’s a distinct possibility that I probably could benefit from some of their input as computers today are capable of things that my old one isn’t and have inbuilt features that my old one does not.

Programs have changed a bit too, as have the general technicalities and there are bound to be features that I may not recognise or be completely up on, which could throw a small spanner in the works of, well, working, so I understand that I could probably do with a bit of savvying-up on the current wiz-bang stuff. Maybe some help with interpreting the manual (or whatever type of user instruction thingy they come with now) could be handy too. Not that I’m clueless or anything but like I said, technology has moved on since I bought my old faithful so I probably have a bit of catching up to do when it’s all said and done.

Thank god I’ve got kids.

SMGS celebrates snowsports achievers Snowy Mountains Grammar School’s snowsports season came to a close last week with the staging of the National Interschools at Mt Buller. Mrs Sue West, Head of Snowsports, thanked the teachers who accompanied and managed the team, Mr Bland, Mrs Wilson and Dr Barton, and all the parents who also travelled to Victoria and assisted in many ways. “All our students

did really well and the commitment to team and sportsmanship they all displayed was wonderful,” said Mrs West. “Every one of our students contributed to the school pointscores,” added Mrs West. SMGS was crowned the CoEducational Secondary Champions for 2015 and had almost all their teams in the top 10, bringing home a large bag of medals.

The school’s results from the Nationals were:

BOMBALA COUNCIL GENERAL MANAGER: Ngaire McCrindle AtMsthe recent Council meeting, it was resolved to undertake upgrades at both Cathcart Hall and the Hall at the Delegate Showgrounds.

Works will include replacement of roofs and upgrades to the kitchens in line with current standards. Council also resolved to undertake improvements at both the Bombala and Delegate Caravan Parks.

Work will commence shortly on these projects particularly the upgrade of the Delegate Caravan Park as the Park is expected to be very heavily booked this summer with the Centenary of the March of the Snowy River Men occurring in January 2016.

Community groups are advised that the second round of the Boco Rock Community Fund is now open for applications. Applications close on 30 October 2015.

Book a spot at weeds trade fair This year, October will see approximately 250 weeds professionals converge on Cooma for the 18th NSW Weeds Conference. Over the week 12-15th October Conference attendees will be able to discuss all things weedy, including the latest improvements in weed control, technological advances, projects and trials that are being undertaken throughout the State, and legislative changes that may affect the way noxious weeds are controlled into the future. The Conference also gives attendees the chance to network with people in similar industries to take home better ways to manage weeds in their area. Field tours are planned to demonstrate not only the challenges that we face when it comes to weed control in our region, but also to display the Shire’s assets that we are trying to protect.

Cooma-Monaro Shire Council appreciates that this Conference is an excellent opportunity to showcase our region to

people from across the State and beyond, and to encourage a return visit to the Monaro with family and friends.

To build on this opportunity the Conference Coordinating Committee has incorporated a Trade Day into the Conference program. The Monaro Agricultural Trade Exhibition or MATE will be open to the general public and attendees alike, providing the chance to access representatives from major industries in the weed control and agricultural fields and their products. All local businesses of every kind are welcome to attend and exhibit what the Monaro has to offer in the way of business and tourism.

The Conference dinner on Wednesday 14 October, which is being held at the Cooma Multifunction Centre, will offer attendees a chance to socialise and enjoy a night’s entertainment with music by local band ‘The Hip Replacements’.

The guest speaker for

the evening is Australian cricket legend and chairman of the McGrath Foundation, Glenn McGrath.

Sponsorship and advertising opportunities are available to suit all budgets. The Conference Organising Committee is encouraging local businesses to jump on board and help support the Conference.

By sponsoring this event you will not only be supporting local business and people, but those across the State who endeavour to find better ways to ensure our agricultural and environmental assets are protected from the ever encroaching impact of noxious weeds.

You may not think that your business is connected to ‘weeds’, but whether you are a horse-riding instructor, café operator, livestock stud, freight company or major tourism enterprise, this opportunity to highlight your

name to approximately 250 visitors and potential customers is not to be missed. You never know to whom or to where your message may reach.

Further information about the 18th NSW Weeds Conference is available: • on the website at http://www.weedscooma. com.au/ or go on Facebook; • by calling Council’s Weed Management Services on (02) 6455 1941; • by emailing the Conference Organising Committee at weedsconference@ visitcooma.com.au • or by emailing MATE at mate@visitcooma.com.au.

Snowy Online Seniors (SOS) 10 week course a huge hit say savvy seniors Snowy River Shire Council Community Services have had a huge response from seniors across the two Shires in regards to the Snowy Online Seniors - Computer course - over 30 people registered and the course has been a huge success with overwhelmingly positive feedback!

On behalf of Community Services we would like to thank Jindabyne National Parks and Wildlife Services for the use of their conference room, interview rooms, theatre and Snowy Mountains Neighbourhood centre for the use of their offices for the duration of the 10 week course. This provided venue options for several groups of people according to their needs and the devices they used.

The course had the luxury of having the amazing skills of the following people - Paul McIver photography, editing and saving photos, Ian McKinlay - photography and editing, Cameron Bramley - upgrading software, the right computer for you, emailing and cyber safety and much much more. Also we could not have offered the extra venue without the support and skills of Cameron Khorrami who was able to trouble shoot, talk about the importance of computer security and what the different kinds of malware (malicious software) is out there and what should be done to prevent it and helping participants understand their individual circumstances to evaluate what they â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;reallyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; need.

We are very fortunate to have very professional skills in our local area.

The most beautiful connections and success of the course was also due to the involvement by the Year 10 students from Jindabyne Central School.

More than 10 students came along and were working side by side our seniors. The participants learnt the most they ever thought they would and one person was quoted saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those kids deserve a medal!â&#x20AC;? This project successfully aimed to foster intergenerational dialogue - whilst working on a common theme computers! (which both parties were interested in)

Connecting on more than one level was evident - much laughter and frivolity was captured on film!

We hope we can continue this lovely relationship with future projects - improving not only the positive roles and community participation seniors can play in our community but changing some of the misconceptions seniors have of younger people too.

All participants feel they have learnt more than they thought they would and would love to see the course continue.

Technology is so much a part of our modern society, this has been the chance for older people in our area to be given an opportunity to learn and embrace it.

Seniors also visited Cooma Library where the friendly staff showed them all what the Library has to offer - a great day was had by all who attended.

The last few sessions included going out on tour and taking some photos and then coming back into the classroom to learn how to save, edit and send photos. Some people also learnt how to print and make cards and calendars from their favourite pictures!

Well done to all who have participated and a big thanks to everyone who has made this project such a success. We hope to offer something on a more ongoing basis - so watch this space!

We hope even more seniors will now be connecting with their family and friends in a new way as a result of having done this course and courses like this - having walked away with a variety of new skills.

Please call us if you would like to be involved in our next project â&#x20AC;&#x153;Capturing our Living Historyâ&#x20AC;? from 20th October 2015 for 4 weeks. This will also be involving local schools and our elders - producing a living historyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t capture these stories now - they will be lost forever. Call us today for more information on 6451 1059.

Save our swimming pool Residents of Adaminaby are preparing to fight Snowy River Shire Council over its plans to close the Adaminaby swimming pool.

The closure of the pool is listed as part of councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s methods of reducing costs under the State Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fit For the Future requirements.

In its submission to the IPART inquiry, the

council has identified savings of $90,000 per annum if it closes the pool.

But Adaminaby residents are far from happy and have launched a Facebook page, Save Our Pool.

Under councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal, the pool would close from July next year, saving an initial $70,000 and $90,000 thereafter.

But residents say the pool is needed,

AMPOL ADAMINABY

that their children need the opportunity and facilities to learn to swim. Many children now attend swimming classes and swim squad in Cooma, but some parents canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t arrange the transport.

There are also moves to increase usage of the pool, through aqua aerobics or similar fitness groups.

Koala survey for Cooma-Monaro Shire Cooma-Monaro Shire Council is currently inviting public submissions on the Draft Cooma-Monaro Comprehensive Koala Plan of Management 2015 (Draft KPoM).

The preparation of the Draft KPoM is the second part of a two part koala project in the Shire undertaken using a grant from the NSW Environmental Trust.

The first part of the project involved undertaking a survey of koala activity within the study area, which extends in a north south strip from the Tinderry Mountains to Kybeyan, but focussed around the village of Numeralla.

The survey sought to understand better the relationship between koala activity and different aspects of their local habitat. The results are detailed in a draft Habitat Study which can be found in the Appendices of the Draft KPoM. The second part of the project involved the writing of a Draft KPoM prepared under the provisions of State Environmental Planning Policy No.44

BOMBALA

– Koala Habitat Protection (SEPP 44).

A consulting f i r m , Greenloaning Biostudies Pty Ltd, was engaged by Council to prepare the Draft KPoM. If eventually approved, the provisions of the KPoM would apply to a development application lodged on land within the study area.

The draft KPoM must be endorsed by both Council and the Department of Planning before it can be enforced.

The Draft KPoM is currently on public exhibition and is available on Council’s website (www.cooma. nsw.gov.au) or at the Council office.

Public submissions are invited until October 14.

Lamb losses after marking are Dam safety legislation strengthened in NSW a thing of the past As mulesing season comes around, it’s time for sheep producers who aren’t using pain relief to reconsider the benefits, according to Monaro sheep producer Simon King.

“Using Tri-Solfen has almost completely limited my losses from marking,” he said.

“Last year I might have lost one lamb, the year before, I lost none. Since using pain relief, my marking and weaning numbers are essentially the same.”

Where Simon noticed the biggest difference was with his twin lambs.

“Before Tri-Solfen, in the twin paddocks after mulesing there would always be half a dozen small twin lambs left alone at the fence, after their mothers had gone off with the other twins.

“Some of those had to be weaned straight away, and even if they survived they’d never Grazier Simon King a firm believer in pain relief at mulesing. catch up again.

“Now I walk standard operating procedure in many merino the lambs back to the paddock and in a short time they have all enterprises, according to Bayer HealthCare Animal mothered up – including the twins – and they’re Health Technical Services Veterinarian Dominic Dell’Osa. drinking and moving around easily.”

“As a veterinarian, pain relief is the top priority Simon said the financial benefits are clear. “You for me,” said Dominic. “In my opinion, pain relief only have to save a few lambs, or have your lambs during mulesing is simply a must have.” recovered and increasing weight straight away “The research on Tri-Solfen is absolutely clear – instead of losing condition by standing still for it significantly reduces stress and pain for lambs, weeks after marking – and your Tri-Solfen has paid with clear follow-on benefits including faster for itself.” ‘mothering up’, faster healing and better recovery.”

The application of Tri-Solfen has become

Applications open for landcare coordinators Local Landcare networks and community-based organisations should consider applying to host a Local Landcare Coordinator in their community, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro said today.

Applications are now open as part of the NSW Government’s $15 million NSW Local Landcare Coordinator Initiative that will unlock the full potential of conservation volunteers throughout the state over the next four years.

Mr Barilaro said Local Land Services and Landcare NSW are calling for applications from eligible community-based organisations to host up to 60 part-time Local Landcare Coordinator positions.

“The NSW Government is committed to improved management of our natural

environment and to working closely with the Landcare movement to build community capacity and resilience,” Mr Barilaro said.

“These locally-based coordinators will work with local community groups and networks such as Landcare, to connect with their communities and to focus on projects that will make a difference to the environment and reflect what local communities want to achieve.

“Restoring local sites is why many Landcare volunteers became involved in the network in the first place and this will give them a chance to focus on that work.

“The program will allow more effective participation of volunteers, landholders and the wider community in natural

resource management activities that manage and restore the natural environment, improve the sustainability of agricultural production, and build the resilience of communities.”

The Local Landcare Coordinator Initiative has been designed to put Landcare on a more sustainable funding footing, with the majority of the funds going to these coordinator positions.

A Landcare Future Fund Initiative will also be established to ensure resources are dedicated to developing options for Landcare’s future financial sustainability.

Further information and application guidelines can be downloaded from www.lls.nsw. gov.au. Completed applications must be lodged by email by 5pm on Wednesday 14 October 2015.

Minister for Primary Industries, Lands and Water Niall Blair said last night’s passage of the Dam Safety Bill 2015 through the NSW Parliament will improve dam safety standards across NSW and provide a modern approach to regulation.

The Dam Safety Bill 2015 was introduced into NSW Parliament last month, following an independent review into dam safety and extensive community consultation. The Bill passed the NSW Parliament with bipartisan support.

“The NSW Government has introduced important reforms to ensure the ongoing maintenance and construction of our dams and critical infrastructure is managed safely for our communities in the future,” Mr Blair said.

“The reforms retain important elements of the current dam safety regime, modernise the legislation and provide a best-practice framework for the ongoing regulation of dam safety.”

There are 378 dams in NSW prescribed under current legislation and this Bill will result in a number of improvements to current dam safety regulation. Central to the new regulatory framework will be

dam safety standards, to which all prescribed dam owners will be required to comply.

The Dam Safety Bill 2015 will: • Enable new dam safety standards to be developed that all prescribed dam owners will have to comply with.

These standards will underpin the new regulatory framework, and will be developed in consultation with key stakeholders.

• The regulator will become a meritbased board comprising expertise in dam engineering, cost-benefit analysis, public safety risk analysis and emergency management.

It will remain business as usual for the Dams Safety Committee until the new Act is implemented.

Dam owners must continue to apply with any requests from the Dams Safety afety Committee until the new Act A commences. ommences.

Snowliner’s Russian Adventure

Part six Talking of fishing, the last lock we went through while waiting for the lock to fill with water, had some of the crew with their nets catching fish, wonder what is on the menu tonight!

9.30pm and we are going through Lock 2, another four to go through during the night.

We are now travelling along the Moscow Canal, the banks are lined with rocks or concrete slabs. Along the banks are numerous fishermen, many in speedos, are they fishing or sunbaking? Picnic tables, some covered, are dotted along the banks.

Planes are flying overhead.

Diana is currently giving a talk in the lounge on Moscow (just imagine I am in Moscow!!) I am watching it on TV. We are being told that the FSB (formerly KGB - Kindness, Goodness, Beauty) tells the buses where they can stop in the city. We are going for a ride on the underground rail system, no videoing allowed, some areas 100 metres underground. Should there be a nuclear attack the underground will form bomb shelters. If you can see the sky you can take photos, if you see the ceiling of a building, no photos allowed, no joking, no loud noise, my gosh we had best be on our best behaviour. The Moscow Canal is owned by the same person who owns the wharfs where we will be docking. Security is a nightmare apparently and we are being told that we will have to clear checks all the time. Scenic have received a special dispensation and Diana has a magic key that will open the magic gate and allow us access direct to our buses, however on return we will have to go through security.

Stay tuned!

Our first day in Moscow! After lunch we were taken by bus to the Red Square to visit St Basil Cathedral. On our way in to the city which took over an hour because of the traffic, about 8 vehicles (cars, buses, mini buses) pass us all carrying uniformed personnel. At our arrival at St Basil Cathedral we were told the city had been closed 20 minutes ago due to some dignitary visit - I suspect that is where all the vehicles were heading. We saw the Kremlin from the outside then went on a river cruise so leisurely saw other parts of the city.

On arrival back at the wharf the security was not as bad as expected. Six lanes of traffic in both directions and traffic is bumper to bumper.

Thursday arrives and we are off to the city again, and once more the traffic is heavy.

Stopping at Christ Cathedral which was destroyed and made into a swimming pool before being rebuilt in its original form.

There are 700 Russian Orthodox churches in Moscow. We are told that allergies are so bad this year they regularly wash the streets.

They blame the poplar trees but it is the Linden trees that are very strong with blossom coming out. We stop at the University of Moscow, a very impressive building. Students have to pay to attend university. Private education arrived in Moscow after 1991.

A comfort stop was made in the morning and what entertainment it proved. We are told to take the toilet paper before going in to the toilet. When you enter the cubicle you take a step up which then puts your head above the door, or course you need to bend/sit down and you disappear from sight. ‘Job’ is done and once more you are standing up, watching this from outside the cubicles was cheap entertainment. One woman came back to the bus saying her stomach was very sore from laughing. Of course the gents were next door and they could just hear all the laughing and wondering what was going on!!

We experienced a ride on their metro system today.

Travelling 80m down via escalator to view the magnificent stations, marble walls and granite floors. Two men continually

walking up and down sweeping the floor. At peak times trains come every 30 seconds. From where we are docked you could get to the city centre in 25 minutes, same in a vehicle can take 1 1/2 hours. No videoing is allowed on the stations.

Underground areas were used as bomb shelters during the

war and they say if there is a nuclear attack they will be used as shelters - but what happens when you come up? At the end of each platform are beautiful murals. On one platform there were 70 bronze statues depicting various occupations.

Tonight we are off to see the Moscow Circus, imagine seeing the Circus live in Moscow, can’t wait. Well how to

describe the Moscow Circus? It is not in a traditional tent as we know circuses to be held in but rather a huge building dedicated to this show. The costumes, the performances that were acted out, we just sat in awe and enjoyed every moment. And by the way they had a kangaroo performing!

Wow! Hasn’t there been mixed reactions to the circus, one lady had to leave as she thought they were so cruel to the animals.

If you call tapping with a stick and feeding with strips of meat for doing the right thing cruel then you have a different conception to me. One lady said to me she did not like to see the animals begging. I told her I did not see it as begging but rather standing on their hind legs and saying look at me and what I can do! I still say it is one of the most magnificent shows I have seen and as you would realise I have seen a few shows over the last thirty years.

Our time on the ship is drawing to a close and today, Friday is our second last day.

In the morning we are taken to the State Cosmonauts Museum where we can view many of the Russian space experiences. We are privileged to have a talk from a Russian cosmonaut - Alexander Laveykin, obviously with an interpreter and then many questions were asked.

Lunch in town and then some go to the Central Museum of Armed Forces and others to the State Tretyakov Gallery - I must say I am over the art galleries so just sat and relaxed but many thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Another wonderful meal is experienced on-board.

After our day in town we are dropped off at a mobile security ‘donga’ You know the body scanners that are the airport, well that is what is in the donga but we just walk through, smile nicely at the guard, and board our ship - the scanner is not working!! And then it appears on weekends they just don’t even man the donga!

Our good weather has finally come to an end. The rain and thunder started about 4 in the morning (Saturday) and it has rained most of the day. This morning we went to the Kremlin, not sure of the actual size but it is very big. Includes five palaces four cathedrals, and the enclosing Kremlin Wall with Kremlin towers. The complex serves as the official residence of the President of the Russian Federation. We went to the Arms Museum which had displays of Faberge Eggs; crystal; eating, drinking and serving pieces; gowns from hundreds of years ago which had such tiny waists but then we think of the age of the girls. One woman found a piece while digging her garden, took it to the Museum, and they decided it was a piece of chain mail armour from about 600 years ago.

Another visit was made to St Basil’s Cathedral and this time we could enter, nine onion shaped domes and nine churches inside.

Apparently the architects who designed the Cathedral were asked if they could make a more beautiful one and because they said yes they were blinded so that could not happen.

The Clock Tower incorporated into the Kremlin wall and facing Red Square is big enough for a metro train to drive through.

Tonight we have been to a Russian National Dance Show, 30 minutes in Saturday traffic how great is that. The show was absolutely fantastic. The energy and grace of the dancers is wonderful. And then it is our final dinner on-board, all good things must come to an end. I can only say if you ever get the chance to visit Russia then jump at it. We have found the majority of Russians to be very friendly and proud of their country.

Mortgage Choice decides to close Help Me Choose Heather Anoleck Dip FMBM

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

HOLIDAYS! To give everyone a heads up, I am going to be on leave in September for around 3 weeks, so if you have been thinking of meeting up for a chat, now is the time to call!

INVESTMENT MARKET CHANGES There has been a lot of changes in the market recently, with Lenders aiming to manage their investment loan levels.

This has resulted in a lot of policy changes by the Lenders, with some increasing rates on investment property loans, some reducing the loan ratio (meaning you need to have a higher deposit),and some making changes to the interest only option.

If you are looking at getting into the investment property market, it is now more important than ever to talk to someone who is aware of these changes, and give you guidance on which Lender is going to be the best fit for your circumstance.

If you are looking at buying a property, whether as an investment, or as an owner occupied residence, I can help you look at all your options.

If you are unsure if investing in property is right for you at this time, I can also arrange an obligation free meeting with Damian Toms, senior financial planner. He can offer advice on other investment options, as well as a range of other financial planning solutions.

Whatever your lending needs, give me a call. If I am unable to help you directly (particularly with business finance), I have access to other channels that could help you get a good deal.

Call me now to arrange an appointment, on mobile: 0431 351 873

As a consequence of a comprehensive strategic and operational review, Mortgage Choice Limited has made the decision to shut down its Help Me Choose business unit.

Mortgage Choice presented its FY15 financial results in August and chief executive officer John Flavell made it clear that Help Me Choose’s financial result

needed addressing.

“The less than favourable financial result of the Help Me Choose business prompted a comprehensive review of the operation and a decision has been made to close it down in its current form,” Mr Flavell said.

“Mortgage Choice will continue to focus on evolving the Mortgage Choice business by building a compelling and differentiated

financial services offering and, in turn, providing sustainable earnings for its shareholders.

“Capitalising on the significant opportunities facing Mortgage Choice requires focus, and continuing to invest in a business that is unlikely to be profitable in the foreseeable future does not make sense.”

Competition for owner occupied business heats up As lenders seek to wind back their level of investment lending, competition in the owner occupied space has started to heat up.

Mortgage Choice chief executive John Flavell said many lenders were starting to offer some “very competitive” owner occupied home loans in a bid to pick up more of this business.

“Over the past few months, many of Australia’s lenders have made significant changes to their investment product pricing and policy in a bid to curb their level of investment lending growth,” Mr Flavell said.

“But just because many of Australia’s lenders are actively trying to reduce their level of investment activity, doesn’t mean to say they are not hungry for business – quite the opposite.

“Australia’s lenders are just as hungry for

business as they ever were and because the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority has told them to limit their level of investment lending growth, the lenders have been forced to turn their attention to owner occupiers.”

Mr Flavell said many of Australia’s lenders are currently offering owner occupied borrowers a raft of incentives including, interest rate discounts, cash back offers and fee waivers.

“In the 20 years I have worked in financial services, I have never seen the level of lender competition we are witnessing now. Regardless of whether people are looking to buy a home or refinance their current property, they can be guaranteed of securing an incredibly competitive home loan deal,” he said.

For those borrowers who have been in

the same home loan product for a while, Mr Flavell said now may be a good time for them to give their mortgage a much needed spring clean.

“A good de-clutter never goes astray and often borrowers uncover financial aspects of their life that need some reassessment or to be changed altogether,” he said.

According to Mr Flavell, borrowers who give their home loan a spring clean may realise that they are in the perfect position to refinance their mortgage.

“Refinancing may allow borrowers to repay their home loan sooner and ultimately achieve their next financial goal sooner.

“Further, refinancing can be a great way for borrowers to lower their mortgage repayments, consolidate their debt and even access equity in their home.”

Fixed rate demand falls to new lows Demand for fixed rate home loans fell to its lowest level in almost three years, new research has revealed.

According to the latest national home loan approval data from Mortgage Choice, fixed rate home loans accounted for 17.41% of all loans written throughout the month of August – down 1.05% from 18.46% the month prior.

Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said the drop in fixed rate demand was surprising given the current volatility of the home loan market.

“Generally speaking, when the market is volatile and lenders are moving their rates – as they are doing now – fixed rate demand increases, as borrowers look for security and consistency around their mortgage repayments,” he said.

“In recent weeks, many of Australia’s lenders have increased their interest rates across their suite of investment products.

Despite this, more borrowers are choosing variable rate home loans over fixed rate mortgages.”

Mr Flavell said the last time fixed rate demand was this low was back in January 2013.

“It has been 31 months - or almost three years – since fixed rate demand was this low. Across Australia, fixed rate demand was lowest in Victoria, with this type of product accounting for just

11.66% of all loans written throughout August,” he said.

“Western Australia and South Australia weren’t far behind, with fixed rates accounting for 14.16% and 14.59% of all loans written in both states respectively.”

Of the variable rate loans on offer, ongoing discount products once again proved the most popular with borrowers, with this type of product making up 48.38% of all loans written in August.

“With rates sitting at historically low levels, it is fair to say that regardless of whether a borrower chooses a fixed rate or variable rate home loan, they are going to secure a competitive rate,” Mr Flavell said.

“But while borrowers are guaranteed to secure a low rate, it is critical that they still do their due diligence and research what products are available. Over the last few months, the home loan market has become incredibly complex. With the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority stating that lenders should limit their growth in investment lending to 10% each year, a lot of the banks have started to make some significant changes to both their mortgage policy and pricing. With that in mind, it makes sense for all borrowers to speak with a professional to ensure they are getting the right home loan for their needs.”

Grants of up to $10,000 are available to help repair, conserve and restore local war memorials.

The Member for Monaro John Barilaro today encouraged veteran groups, community organisations and councils to apply. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is important that Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s servicemen and women are remembered in their local communities,â&#x20AC;? Mr Barilaro said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maintaining war memorials helps to ensure the sacrifices of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veterans have not, and will not, be forgotten.â&#x20AC;?

Grants through the NSW

Community War Memorials Fund are offered twice a year and applications for round one close on Remembrance Day November 11, 2016.

All submissions are assessed by the State War Memorials Committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Funding has been provided for the conservation of a wide range of war memorials, from statues and honour rolls, to memorial gates and memorial halls,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Barilaro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the Centenary of the Anzac (2014- 2018), it is important to ensure that our war

memorials continue to stand proud and strong.â&#x20AC;?

Applications for the protection and conservation of memorials honouring NSWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military heritage will be assessed by a committee comprised of representatives from the Government Architectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, Office of Environment and Heritage, Veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Affairs and the NSW RSL.

TVET students present their skills

The 2015 TVET hospitality class with teacher Daniel Guthrie after working hard in the kitchen.

Left: TVET hairdressing class of 2015 with their proud teacher Lucy Nesci, TVET Coordinator Carolyn Ewart and their models.

In a celebration of their achievements, the 2015 hospitality and hairdressing TVET (TAFE delivered Vocational Education and Training) students came together for a joint presentation last Wednesday.

Held at the Cooma TAFE campus, about 35 guests including teachers, parents and local community members from both the hairdressing and hospitality industries came to watch.

The hairdressing students each presented a model with a vintage themed hairstyle in a fashion parade. They each explained how they had created the particular styles and also commented on how much they had enjoyed their time throughout the course and how much they had learnt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is amazing to see how far each of them has come,â&#x20AC;? says

Wednesday September 23, 2015

their teacher Lucy Nesci, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the beginning, some of them didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know how to properly use a hairdryer, and now look at what they can do.â&#x20AC;?

The fashion parade was followed by a lunch put on by the hospitality students. With a delicious spread of sausages rolls, salt and pepper squid, arancini, tempura prawns and raspberry mousse just to name a few, the guests were impressed with the skill the students demonstrated.

TVET Coordinator Carolyn Ewart said that it had been a privilege to watch the students grow and mature over the course of the year, and made special thanks to Jaggez Hair Studio where the hairdressing students were able to gain valuable practical skills each week.

Deputy Principal of Jindabyne Central School Steve Cooper

also commented on what a valuable resource the Cooma TAFE is to students in the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;50 per cent of next years Year 11 students have chosen to take on a TAFE course as part of their studies,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having the TAFE adds so much to our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s careers and their opportunities for the future.â&#x20AC;?

With some of the students in their final year of studies, there are plenty more courses available at the Cooma TAFE for school leavers. These include whitecard, chainsaw operations, chemical application, forklift, nanny skills, hospitality, bar skills, cafĂŠ skills and introduction to hairdressing. For more information or to register your interest call 6452 0799 or come in a visit the campus at 66 Commissioner Street, Cooma.

Alex Dickson nominated for Youth Winter Olympics Snowy Mountains Grammar School Year 11 student and Perisher Winter Sports Club SBX athlete Alex Dickson has been nominated by Ski and Snowboard Australia (SSA) to represent Australia in the Snowboard Cross (SBX) event at the 2016 Winter Youth Olympic Games (WYOG) in Lillehammer, Norway, from 12th to 21st February, 2016.

The WYOG is an international event, developed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to promote and celebrate Olympism among junior athletes. Over seventy countries will be represented at the next event. The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) will look to send a team of approximately sixteen athletes to Lillehammer. The team will be operated by the AOC under the leadership of Chef de Mission, Alisa Camplin. Ski & Snowboard Australia (SSA)’s role in the selection process is to nominate athletes for consideration, in accordance with the selection criteria, to the AOC selection committee. The following criteria were considered: • SSA Domestic Snowboard Cross Events (final rankings and qualification performances) • 2014/15 International Season – Best Performances • FIS Point Ranking • SSA Generic Selection Factors.

It was decided that Alex Dickson would be nominated as the Australian Snowboard Cross representative for the 2016

WYOG. In making this decision, the Selection Committee placed the highest weighting on the chances of an athlete achieving the single best result at the 2016 WYOG. The AOC will then consider SSA’s nomination and will confirm the selection in late October.

“I am stoked to be nominated by SSA to the AOC for the single male SBX athlete,” said Alex. “I had some pretty

good results at the ANC and FIS races in Hotham in August and early September. I also managed to win the Australian National Junior Series SBX at Perisher in August and last weekend won Gold in the Division 1 SBX event at the National Interschools.”

Alex has been training in the 2015 season with Jason

The program will go for three weeks from 4 to 5pm.

The Cooma Netball Association (CNA) Schools Netball Gala Day is planned for early in the first term of 2016.

Information will be sent to schools in the region in the next few weeks.

The Gala Day has been run now for a few years and has attracted schools from the south coast, Bredbo and our local region.

It’s a great day full of netball action for both boys and girls catering for all ages from Years 3 up to Year 12 and is held at the Cooma Netball Courts near

High performance league camps Approximately 40 young aspiring Rugby League players from all across the southern region descended on Pambula Sporting Complex last Sunday to attend the first of the Group 16 Red Energy High Performance camps.

Former NRL player and coach of the Group 16 under 18 representative squad Jason Kelly said “These kids are awesome, there is so much talent in our local region.”

Jason and his staff took the participants through a series of game based skills that will help prepare players for any potential representative duties next year.

Jason was also assisted by NRL Development officer Damian Kennedy who coached the boys on their conduct off the field as well.

“To be a great rugby league player it is important

Clauscen, who is the Head SBX coach at the Perisher Winter Sports Club. Jason said, “Alex worked well with other coaches and athletes across the board. He not only worked towards his own goals during the season, but also helped serve as a role model for other athletes in the team with his commitment to performance and his attitude when at training, in and out of competition.”

As the snow season comes to an end, Alex’s immediate focus is to complete Year 11 and to work on his fitness with Winter Olympian Manuela Berchtold from High Country Fitness in Jindabyne.

“We congratulate Alex on his achievement,” said SMGS Principal, Andrew Bell. “Alex has spent time overseas training and competing over the last twelve months. At SMGS we have the program to support athletes’ academic needs whilst they pursue their sporting objectives.”

In mid-November, Alex then heads to Piztal in Austria and then Canada to train with Reign Snowboarding head coach John Shelly in in preparation for the Northern Winter competition and the leadup to the Youth Winter Olympics in February and the Junior World Championships in March 2016.

to know how to conduct yourself off the field as well as on,” Damian said, “I think the session we did on social media and cyber bullying was really worthwhile.”

At the end of these five camps , players will be selected to be part of the 2016 representative squad that will be invited to attend a special two day clinic hosted in Canberra by the Raiders in late January .

The players will have the opportunity to be trained by the Raiders coaches and use the AIS facilities.

“Don Furner and the Canberra Raiders are keen to see what Group 16 can produce. This is a big opportunity for these young players.” Group 16 President Dean Lynch said .

The next camp is to be held in Bega on October 25 and all players who are eligible for under 16’s and 18’s in 2016 are invited to attend .

For many years Cooma has been represented at these carnivals and done quite well in our juniors and opens divisions.

The crowd started gathering at 10.00am for a fantastic children’s golf clinic conducted by former Royal Sydney professional, James Learmont. More than 15 young ones enjoyed the expert tuition with a few older “kids” also seeking advice. Then a sausage

sizzle and a cold drink or two, capably served by bar-person extraordinaire Carol McMahon, before the noon teeoff. Kevin Burgess and Glenda Daal were the outstanding chefs of the day and the food was heartily enjoyed by all!

The Snow Goose Hotel’s Jolly Trolley (superbly operated once again by Wayne O’Neill and Nicole McInerney) kept the competitors from dehydrating during the warm spring day and the Adaminaby Bowling & Sports Club hosted post-game celebrations.

Secret score winners on the day were John and Cheryl Wilson, John Guest and Peter McDonald.

Scratch score winners by the slimmest of margins were John and Matt Williams, Mark Fountain

and Dean Lucas with a fine 3 under par 35. The long drive trophies were collected by Matt Williams and Kim Knowles with nearest the pin taken out by Darren Lucas. The golf trivia competition on the day was won by the googlechampion team of Glen and Linda Squires and Tim Brayshaw. Target practice was taken out by Matt Jacobs with a bulls-eye!

Congratulations to all winners.

Many local businesses again supported the event with major sponsors on the day including the Adaminaby Bowling Club, Ampol Adaminaby, The

Adaminaby Bakehouse, the Snow Goose Hotel & Motel and Hardy’s Wines.

According to one of

the event organizers, Bill Faulkner, “this has been yet another good fun golf day with great weather playing a large

part after a long, wet and brutal winter. We’ve had lots of course and facility improvements over the past 12 months and

funds raised on the day will certainly go back into the course to continue its development.”

Cooma leads after first leg of the Coomagui Cup Sunday’s shoot sponsored by Snowy Plain Merino Stud saw a good turn out on a day reflective of the Monaro spring.

The first leg of the Coomagui Cup was shot in conjunction with Mick Hedge’rs “Rabbit Challenge”.

The Coomagui Cup is an annual event held between Cooma and Bermagui Field and Game clubs and is in its 12th year.

The event helps to boost shooter numbers for both clubs and provides a good humoured, competitive, team atmosphere to the two shoots that it is run over.

The first leg is traditionally run at the Cooma range at Middlingbank with the following weekend shooters attending the Bermagui Range.

Cooma have made the most of the home ground advantage in the first leg with a 57 target lead.

It should be noted however that

at the same time last year Cooma held a 22 target lead only to lose the cup by 13 targets after the second leg.

The event was run in conjunction with the “Rabbit Challenge” which involves shooting some targets that differ from traditional clay targets in that they roll on edge along the ground mimicking a scurrying rabbit.

High Gun went to Mark Corbett of Cooma who also won the “A” grade rabbit challenge. Corbett and Bill Warriner also shot well enough on the day to both shoot a perfect round of 25.

This proved to be hugely popular last year and we are hopeful we

can turn on an equally great event in three weeks.

Cooma Colts Life Membership Induction Colin ‘Gobby’ Shingles was inducted as a Life Member into the Cooma Colts junior rugby league cub last Friday night.

Gobby has served and supported the Cooma Colts since 2004 when he started coaching the U9s, and although he had no children playing in the team at that time, it proves the passion he has for junior rugby league in our area. In 2006 he began coaching the U7s, which included his son Will, and has continued each year with the team up to today, in 2015, where they competed in the U16 age group.

He joined the general committee in 2005, where he stayed until 2009, then became President in 2010, until 2014.

He has been involved in the running of the Touch Footy

comp for many years, some say ‘decades’, but was head co-ordinator from 2010 to 2014.

He was instrumental and the driving force behind the clubs new goal posts and electronic scoreboard.

He had noticed the need for developing players in our area and was one of the main instigators to get the Rovers Committee and Development Squad up and running, a great opportunity for our young players to enhance their skills through weekend camps, involving senior figures and players.

Gobby could always be found at the Showground on any given training night, floating between teams, giving coaches advice where requested, and passing on any relevant information regarding their team, whether

it be their socks and shorts, game day procedures such as organising leaguesafe or first aiders, or fundraising. On his days off work he would mark the field ready for the weekends’ games.

Already a Life Member with the Cooma Stallions where

he had played 438 games, Gobby’s contribution to the Cooma Colts since joining the committee in 2005 has set the standards high, and put the club in good stead for the next generation, which we truly thank him for.

PRESENTATION NIGHT Cooma Cats Australia Football Club reached the finals again this season, for the third year in a row.

Unfortunatey they did not make the grand final but will build on the 2015 results for the 2016 season.

The club held its presentation night at the Australian Hotel last Saturday night.

Winter basketball finishes with finals and presentations The Grand Finals and Presentation days for the Cooma Basketball Association were held last Thursday and Friday at the stadium.

The A Grade menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game between Basketboiz and Flash Drive was taken out

by Basketboiz for the second year. Sadly most of the team are year 12 students and will be moving on next year.

They have been a credit to the Association and we wish them well in the future. The runner up team was far from disgraced and with five juniors in the side will be a force over the next few years Junior Girls The junior girls competition was closely contested this year with the top four decided on for and against and any of the teams being

capable of winning.

The grand final was contested between first place purple and fourth placed blue with blue finishing on top 47-34.

Blue were just ahead when their number one player was fouled off but this didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deter the younger players who really stepped up. Purple tried hard all game but were down on shots and were well contained under the basket. Well done to all the junior girls on a top season Blue 47 (Chloe Trevanion 6, Abby Sopniewski 2, Michaela Smith 21, Amber Martin-Smith 14, Yasmin Williams 4) d Purple 34 ( Meg Pearce 6, Molly Adams 12, Emma Hopkin 3, Erin Pearce 11).

Other team members Red Kelsey Branscombe, Imogen Bateman, Alayah Bartell,

Purple Summer Rees, Zara Farrell.

Junior Boys Like the girls the boys competition was evenly contested throughout the year with semi positions decided in the last game of the regular games.

The semi finals also were keenly contested before the grand final teams were decided with first place Blue taking on second place Red. Red ran out winners 27-16.

Both teams were guilty of rushing play leading to a lot of missed baskets.

Solid defence from both teams also restricted the scoring but landed several players in foul trouble resulting in the number one players from each team fouling out and the number two for Red sitting on four fouls.

All the players put in a big effort.

Well done to all the boys for a strong season Red 27 (Matthew Hopkin 2, Josh Sharkey 2, Noah Saddler 11, Andreas Kopecky-Geach, Archie Allen 2, Rhys Freebody 3) d Blue 16 (Pierre Wall 10, Dane Freimanis 6).

Other players Red James Dyball, Blue Jakob Asanovski, Damien Fletcher,

Eighty Mini basketballers and Aussie Hoop players gathered at the stadium on Friday for their games and presentation day.

All ages took part in a display of games in front of a large crowd of parents and friends.

The little 4-7 years finished the activities with a display of their training drills. All players were then presented with their awards for a great effort this year.

There were many beaming faces as they collected their trophies and basketballs Thank you to Theo Schoo who was on hand both days for photos and to all those who helped during the year and on the two days.

We are looking at two junior mixed competitions in term four and the year will concluded with our representative trip to Merimbula in November.

Teams will be finalised the first week back at school and players will be notified if selected.

Junior girls also enjoyed a good season in winter 2015.

Green to be named Congratulations to Aaron after Ed Potter A date for your bowling diary, Saturday October 10 for the Ed Potter Green naming day at Adaminaby.

The Southern Green will be named “The Ed Potter Green” to recognise the exceptional life long service that Ed has given not only to the Adaminaby Club but also to the Monaro District Bowling Association.

The Day is being organised by the Adaminaby Men’s and Women’s Bowling Clubs beginning at 9.30am for a 10am start of play.

Two games of 12 ends plus a barbecue lunch and lots of fun.

Snowy River Shire Mayor, John Cahill will perform the official unveiling immediately following lunch.

Names to Peter Daal on 6454 1050 or Pam Brayshaw on 6454 2394 by Monday October 5. Dress is mufti.

Wednesday bowls attracted a small field of only 17 players who enjoyed great weather but perhaps a slightly faster than usual green.

Sergio Roncelli, Mary Phillips and Geoff Venables shot out to lead 10/2 against Innes Rees, Dot Jackson and Paul Cannell then sat back and watched as Paul’s team levelled the scores at 11/11 on end 13.

Once again the scores were locked up 18/18 with Geoff’s team scoring three shots on the last end to win 21/18.

Allan Crowe, Mario Frezza and Denis Steinfort were winners over Mary Boller, Renate Winckel and Ron Gammon by a margin too large to publish.

Almost a “Climb the Flag Pole” size. Keith Goodwin played swinging lead for Ken Rees and Kevin Jackson and for Russell Fox and Ron Wainwright with the scores 8/8 on end 11. From that point Kevin’s team lost only two ends to win 21/12.

Only 10 bowlers on Saturday with two onlookers to offer advice. Sergio Roncelli, Renate Winckel and Dawn Russell made a good start against Steve Lapham. Roulie Steinfort and Daphne Buckley to lead 16/12 at the halfway mark and continued to put them close to go on and win 24/15.

Mario Frezza and Olga Jebbink set up a 14/5 lead over Margherita Zasso and Denis Steinfort after 12 ends but stayed on 14 for five more ends. The scores were level at 23/23 with an end to play which yielded Margherita and Denis two shots for a 25/23 win.

On Sunday Darrren Collins and

Richard Nichols scored seven shots over the first three ends against Mario Frezza and Kevin Jackson then went walkabout to find themselves down 9/14 at the halfway point and things did not improve as Mario and Kevin ran out convincing winners 28/14.

Mick Mayhew, Ron Wainwright and Denis Steinfort were right on target against Daphne Buckley, Giulio D’Amico and John Schoon when they won the first five ends, including seven on the fifth to give them a 13/0 lead.

They held off a challenge from Daphne, Giulio, and John to go on and win 28/17. Keith Goodwin, Steve Lapham and Don Jarvis were “ behind the eight ball” from the start against Dot Jackson, Renate Winckel and Paul Cannell trailing 5/16 after 11 ends. It was not till the last two ends that Keith, Steve and Don reached double figures giving their opposition a win 23/11.

In Zone Play Off in Champion of Club Champion Pairs, Brian Seears and Paul Schulz playing at Tuross Heads defeated a pair from Merimbula 22/12 but lost in the final to a pair from Narooma 17/23.

First round losers in the recent Fours Championship will play off for the Don Jarvis Shield. Mark Buckley’s team will play Geoff Venables’ team at 9.30 am next Sunday with the winner playing Giulio D’Amico’s team in the afternoon to decide whose names go on the Shield for this year.

Brenna kick starts season Brenna produced some impressive performances at the last “High Noon” meet at Canberra’s AIS Track last weekend.

After her eighth place in the javelin at NSW State High Schools Athletics Championships earlier this month, Brenna was eager to reproduce the performance that got her into the top eight at State. The conditions were nearly perfect for throwing, and Brenna

was just over a metre behind her personal best with a heave of 24.55m..

Brenna then tiptoed it over to the 1500m start and ran 5:27.55 sec. She then staggered to the long jump pit to record a leap of 3.22m, then raced around the track just in time for the 3000m start, arriving as the starter called them to line up for the start.

Brenna’s run was just off 12 minutes for the distance as she sprinted to

the finish line in 12:01.23 sec. It was discovered after the race that she had half of the sand pit sand in her shoes.

The local athletics season starts on October 10 at 9am sharp.

Also, on the two Saturdays we are holding our Multi- Event Competition 9am start. (Week 1 includes 100m, 200m, Long Jump, Discus and 400m (for the young ones (Pack Start)) and 800m U/9 and over.

Perfect spring golf weather Cooma Golf report by Terry Johnston

Tagged trout tell tales in Lake Jindabyne Snowy Mountains anglers can experience excellent fishing this season with fish numbers boosted by the recent release of 150 tagged rainbow trout into Lake Jindabyne.

The Member for Monaro John Barilaro said the latest fish stocking will give anglers the chance to catch a large rainbow trout and at the same time be rewarded for helping with scientific research.

“The released tagged rainbow trout are part of the Snowy Lakes Trout Strategy, operating to keep recreational fishing sustainable and productive in this spectacular area of the State,” Mr Barilaro said.

“The released rainbow trout have grown over the past three years from eggs harvested from the Thredbo River, with most fish now about two to three kilograms in weight.”

Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Senior Inland Fisheries Manager, Cameron Westaway said anglers are in for an excellent fishing experience.

“Some lucky anglers will have the exciting thrill of capturing a whopper - with several of the larger fish released in excess of four and half kilograms,” said Mr Westaway.

“The fish were previously used for fishing clinics at Gaden Trout Hatchery and have been marked with a yellow streamer tag that is visible in the left shoulder of each fish.”

DPI Fisheries Scientist, Jamin Forbes said he encourages anglers catching any one of these large fish to report the details of the fish and its capture on the DPI website http://www.dpi.nsw. gov.au/fisheries/forms/fw-fish-tagging “A small reward will be provided to anglers that help with this scientific research and report the capture details,” Mr Forbes said.

“The information collected will provide vital details for movement and growth studies and will assist with the future management of NSW fish stocks.”

Funds from the NSW Recreational Fishing Trusts are invested to support trout production at Gaden Trout Hatchery and also to support the expanded Snowy Lakes Strategy research program.

WHAT’S ON

We had a fabulous week of golf at Cooma Golf Club and some great warm days in the Snowy Mountains for golf.

The course is still in a good condition after the greens had their annual renovation and coring.

Saturday saw a Single Stableford for the men and a visitor from Howlong Golf Club, Mark Van Ommen took out A grade with 37 points on a count back from the ever consistent Mark Rainsford who also had 37 points. Mark showed how consistent he can be by taking out both nearest the pin prizes on the ninth and also the 17th holes.

B grade went to Gary Batten with 39 points also on a count back from Heikki Evans with 39 points while C grade went to Mark Kelly with the round of the day 42 points. The ball comp paid down to Alan Kelly 36 points.

On Sunday there was a small field take to the course on a beautiful sunny day to play a Single Stroke event with Mr. Consistency Mark Rainsford shooting a great round of 66 nett to take home the prize. In second spot was Gary Batten who has been on fire over the last

couple of weeks and shot a fine 72 nett.

The nearest the pin on the ninth hole went to Brian Searl with a good shot to 4 metres and on the 17th hole it went to “who else but” Mark Rainsford who put his shot 2 ½ metres away from the hole. The ball comp paid down to Heikki Evans with a 73 nett.

Wednesday September 16 saw a Single Stableford contested.

Simon Allen had a great round to take out the competition with 38 points closely followed by Brian Searl in second spot with 37 points on a count back from Gary Batten. Ball winners went down to Dominic Rossi with 35 points. Nearest the pin on the

ninth went to Norm Marshall and Gary Batten won the 17th with a good close shot to 3 metres.

Next weekend on Saturday and Sunday there will be a Single Stableford Medley played and if the weather is as good as it was last weekend we can expect a good field of players on both days.

We hope to see you on the greens very soon and remember visitors to our region are always welcome to come and join us for a game of golf at Cooma Golf Club anytime they choose.

The Canberra Gliding Club’s 2015 Bunyan Wave Camp is currently underway at the Bunyan Airfield north of Cooma. There are about 15 gliders and many visitors here in town for the annual event from the Canberra area and even as far as Sydney.

It is at this time of year that a phenomenon known as the Mountain Wave occurs.

This involves winds coming off the Brindabella Mountain range to create an air ripple effect, allowing the gliders to reach extraordinary heights - as high as 35,000 feet.

On Monday gliders experienced some strong thermal activity from 11am with some reaching heights of about 12,000 feet. Once over 10,000 feet high, oxygen is required.

These conditions mean that most gliders are able to be up in the air for about five hours. Preparation is key, with pilots taking food and water with them in their glider for the long flight.

Pictured above is flight instructor of 10 years, Greg Schmidt of Jerrabomberra.

Greg says he enjoys teaching people a new skill and introducing people to a new and exhilarating sport.
