Unit fire-bombed This weekend is Cooma’s Relay For Life!

On Tuesday October 15 between 4am and 4.15am offenders targeted a first floor unit on Commissioner Street when two Molotov cocktails were thrown at their window.

The unit was occupied by a man and a women in their 40’s, who woke to a cracking sound at 4am to find that their curtains, sofa and clothes were alight.

Two Molotov cocktails were thrown at the window, the first one hitting the window, the second one smashing it and setting the unit alight. The male resident extinguished the fire before fire crews arrived.

Police and Fire Rescue attended the scene and investigations are still underway.

Police would like anyone with information about this crime to please come forward to aid investigations. Anyone with information can anonymously contact Cooma police on 64520099 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

A purse was stolen from a handbag on October 9 at approximately 4.30pm from Centennial Park, Cooma. Anyone with information should contact Cooma police on 64520099 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

The much anticipated 2013 Cooma Relay For Life is this Saturday and Sunday at the Cooma Showgrounds.

Over 250 people have already registered for this fun family friendly event with the ‘Mad Hatter’ theme.

So far participants have raised over $22,000! This breaks all Cooma and Snowy Relay records and the event has not even started.

The Cancer Council is thrilled by Cooma’s fundraising effort so far, as we are well on the way to reaching our $50,000 goal. If you haven’t registered yet, it is not too late, register online or on the Saturday morning at the showgrounds. Everyone can join in the fun and raise awareness and funds toward cancer research and services for the Cooma-Monaro region.

There is something for everyone at this year’s event including live entertainment and fun activities for people of all ages.

Check out the jam-packed timetable on line! New events this year include

the inaugural ‘Cooma Gift’ which is an opportunity for Cooma’s best athletes, of all ages, to show off their talents in a 200 metre sprint.

There will also be the first ‘Mad Hatter’s Pub Dash’ which is a chance for Cooma’s bravest blokes to sport a mad hat and frock and to raise awareness and funds in the local pubs. There will be great prizes for both events.

The dedicated voluntary committee have some surprise activities that are sure to keep you on your toes and spot prizes will be given out for themed laps and the best mad hat.

So don’t forget to bring your ‘onesies’, PJs, Maddest hats and purple clothes and keep an eye on our Face Book page for more hints as to what we have in store!

Delicious food and beverages will be available throughout to keep all participants fuelled for the event.

Survivors and Carers are welcome to attend a special morning tea, in

their honour on the Saturday morning, supplied by the Cooma CWA. There will also be a Survivors and Carers opening lap.

Cancer survivors, including our 2013 Ambassador, Liza Dyball, will give inspirational speeches during the ceremonies that embody the Relay themes: ‘Celebrate, Remember and Fight Back!’

Boyce a national finalist The Boyce Financial Services (BFS) team was honoured to be nominated as one of five finalists in the prestigious “Lonsdale Associate of the Year” award at the 2013 Lonsdale & IOOF Alliances National Conference held in Perth.

BFS won the “Lonsdale Associate of the Year” award in 2011 and has previously been nominated as a finalist twice before in 2010 and 2012.

The award recognises the success of a financial planning practice based on a number of key business drivers including revenue growth, positive compliance audit ratings, continual knowledge improvement through participation at forums and professional development days, and alignment to the values and strategy of the Lonsdale network.

Mark Stephen, CEO of Lonsdale Financial Group said “Boyce Financial Services have been a loyal part of the Lonsdale network for over 5 years.

We have quite a number of high performing practices so for Boyce to have been both a finalist and a winner over the past four years is a testament

to the quality business they’ve built.”

The Lonsdale Financial Group supports a network of more than 120 financial planning practices and 300 financial advisers from across Australia.

Lindsay Garnock, a director of Boyce Financial Services (BFS), said despite missing out on the winner’s gong this year – which was awarded to a financial planning firm based in the mining and port city of Mackay – he was very proud that the commitment and care shown by the BFS team to balance client needs with best practice industry compliance, was again recognised through the finalist placing.

“To be named as one of the top five firms in the Lonsdale network for the fourth year in a row is very pleasing,” said Mr Garnock.

“We don’t aim to win awards though, but rather to provide the highest level of service and care for our clients to ensure they meet their financial goals – if we win an award by doing that, well that’s fantastic too”.

Yamaga group reports to council Fifteen Monaro High School students who travelled to Cooma’s sister city Yamaga, Japan, on an exchange in August as well as their families and Lions Club members gathered at the October Cooma-Monaro Shire Council meeting to relive and share stories of their trip.

The Yamaga exchange is supported by council The eight-day trip was a continuation of the annual exchange program jointly organised by the Lions Clubs of Cooma and Yamaga, and supported by Cooma-Monaro Shire Council and Yamaga City Council.

On the trip the students were immersed into

Japanese culture and experienced everything from museums, to Japanese calligraphy and cuisine, to waterslides, to archery and drum practice.

The students shared photos of their trip, Cooma Lion Chris Reeks and Monaro High School’s Japanese teacher Kevin Kirton made speeches and the students thanked councillors for supporting the annual trip.

The Yamaga group is pictured above at Cooma-Monaro Shire Council chambers last Monday night.

Berridale WW2 Memorial Snowy Hydro engages with community project nears completion Many readers will be aware that there is an anomaly in regard to the Snowy River Shiresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; war memorials in that there is no memorial in Berridale to local veterans of World War Two and subsequent conflicts.

The Snowy River Sub-Branch of the RSL has been working to redress this anomaly and, based on original research conducted by Mr Kevin Clarke of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Killaraâ&#x20AC;?, Berridale, some years ago, the Sub-Branch has

identified and documented some 180 World War 2 and 12 Vietnam veterans.

The Sub-Branch is in discussions with the Snowy River Shire Council regarding the potential location of bronze plaques on a bush rock memorial in the current memorial precinct bounded by Jindabyne Road and Park Street.

In order to provide community access to the lists of veterans before they are finalised, the lists are available at the Snowy River Shire Council offices in both Berridale and Jindabyne until 15 November 2013.

Interested persons are encouraged to peruse the lists and record any comments.

Alternatively, copies Delicious Asian produce available of the lists may be obtained from the SubÂ&#x2021; )UHVK YHJHWDEOHV Â&#x2021; 6DXFHV Â&#x2021; 5LFH Branchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contact person, Steve Youll, who may be Â&#x2021; 5LFH SDSHU Â&#x2021; &DQ MDUUHG IRRGV contacted on 0414 953 Â&#x2021; 6SLF\ PLOG LQJUHGLHQWV Â&#x2021; 1RRGOHV 292 or at stephen@youll. com.au Additionally, the SubBranch would welcome nominations of Berridale oriented veterans who served in the Korean War, Malaya Campaign, Borneo/Confrontation, The Gulf Wars, Iraq and Afghanistan for inclusion on future plaques.

Bombala family day care educator wins regional award

.LULYHS 4HUHNLY 16, =,:*06

Council will shortly farewell an old friend.

Don Clinton, Council’s Weeds Manager will soon be retiring after almost 32 years of service with Council.

Don first commenced work at Snowy River Shire in 1982 as a noxious weeds inspector. At that time, there were five inspectors employed by Council who carried out weed control on roadsides and who also arranged large group aerial spray programs across the Shire.

Noxious weed management faces many challenges and during the time Don has been with Council he has seen many changes. In particular, changes with the implementation of various new legislations and changes to many rules and regulations about the way pesticides and chemicals are used. Biological control of noxious weeds started in the late 1980’s and Don was involved in numerous releases. Bio control agents are also now widespread on a number of noxious weeds.

Don has seen the reduction in a great many noxious weeds in the Shire over the last 32 years. Unfortunately though, some noxious weeds continue to be a problem such as African Lovegrass, Serrated Tussock, St John’s Wort and Nodding Thistles. This is despite the best efforts of Council and land managers, so residents are encouraged to keep good weed management practices.

Don will be sadly missed when the time comes for him to finish work. He is appreciative of his time working for Council and has really enjoyed the friendships, relationships and camaraderie made with colleagues and as well as some of the rural land holders. Don would like to thank Council staff as well as Councillors for their support both professionally and personally over the time he has spent with Council. Don will be sadly missed when he finishes up but is looking forward to some well deserved downtime before a trip home to Ireland to spend a few months catching up with family and friends.

Yvonne Ingram has been named the region’s best family day care educator in the 2013 Excellence in Family Day Care Awards.

The Bombala family day care educator is one of 19,000 family day care educators providing quality early childhood education and care to more than 125,000 children across Australia.

This week Family Day Care Australia celebrates the important role family day care educators play in the lives of families and communities across Australia by announcing the regional winners in its annual national awards.

More than 2000 nominations were received from families with educators judged on their commitment to providing quality early childhood education and care in a unique, home-based setting.

Family Day Care Australia Chief Executive Officer Carla Northam says she was overwhelmed by the heartfelt stories about the incredible service provided by family day care educators like Yvonne.

“There is no greater responsibility than to be entrusted with the care and

education of a young child, and every nomination reflected the importance parents place on the safe, nurturing and educational environment of family day care,” Mrs Northam says.

“To be named the regional winner is recognition of Yvonne’s dedication to providing quality early childhood education. It also highlights the wonderful and unique relationship between educators like Yvonne and the children in their care.

“Family day care is a very unique form of early childhood education and care with smaller groups and a more nurturing, home-based setting which still meets the same quality requirements as centrebased care.”

“The Excellence in Family Day Care Awards provides an opportunity for families to say thank you to educators for helping their children to grow and learn.”

After being in the Childcare industry for over 15 years Yvonne is definitely experienced in the field and it is clear that her work is highly appreciated by parents.

“I was really thrilled to

receive the award. I want to thank all the past and present parents for their support and their nominations. I also want to thank my husband for his support.

“In my 15 years in the job I have seen a lot of children pass through our family day care and it’s very rewarding,” Ms Ingram explained.

Rob Simms celebrates 90 years Rob Simms is a man of many stories - from growing up in Queensland, to being a Federal Valuer, to his involvement with many Cooma community organisations. But Mr Simms considers his proudest story in his 90 years to be his involvement with the Snowy Mountains Scheme.

On August 14 1923 Rob was born in north west Queensland. Rob completed his secondary education at Gatten College.

He was there during the war years and the Americans decided to use the college as a base hospital. This meant that all students, other than those in their final year were sent home for the duration of the American occupation. Gatten was an Agricultural College with over 1700 acres on which there were dairy cows, horses, sheep and goats and it fell to the 25 odd students left to tend to them. He passed his course and then went on to university in Brisbane to do an Ag Science degree. While doing this course he also did a Valuation course.

When he finished university the Commonwealth Bank were looking to employ Valuers so he applied and got the job. He was working in Head Office in Brisbane, but he found he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much work to do as it had been decreed the Commonwealth Bank was not to lend money to farmers, as they were prosperous enough already. He left the bank and went to work as a Federal Valuer but again found himself with no work due to changes within State and Federal arrangements. He decided it was time to find a new job and the Snowy was advertising for Valuers at the time, so he applied.

He came to Cooma for an interview and in February of 1953 he moved from Brisbane to Cooma. His first impression of the Monaro was 76 miles of very ordinary road to Cooma. Which remained that way until Bob Menzies visited Cooma as part of his election campaign in 1955 and said that he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;unaware that Cooma was separated from Canberra by 76 miles of potholes and dustâ&#x20AC;?.

Soon after there were graders and machinery fixing up the highway so Mr Simms assumed that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr Menzies must have straightened them outâ&#x20AC;?.

Once Rob started work, his job was to value lands which were to be flooded as part of the Snowy Project. There were a group of surveyors who produced a map of the basin showing where the high water mark would be.

So he gradually located all the landowners on

the map, but he then had to convince people to sell. The building of Eucumbene dam was well under way and they wanted works to continue unabated. At first he had trouble finding anyone who wanted to sell so he went to speak with William Hudson and told him about the problem. Mr Hudson decided to call a Saturday public meeting, which he attended with charts, diagrams and timetables and explained what the Authorities plans were. After Sir Hudson was done with talking to landowners Mr Simms had little difficulty getting people to agree to sell.

His job consisted of doing valuations of

the properties and then taking them to a Solicitor in Cooma. The Authority had a Compulsory Powers of Acquisition but the Solicitors negotiated fairly and encouraged the landowners to accept the offers of fair market value. Most sellers were happy to accept the offers.

As time went on Old Adaminaby was moved to its new site and the same needed to happen to Old Jindabyne. This posed a small problem, as there was a cemetery, which needed to be moved to a new site. After due consultation the bodies were exhumed and moved to their new resting place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel very proud that I was a part of this wonderful scheme and bringing it to a successful conclusion,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Mr Simms involvement with the Snowy Scheme finished in 1978 after which he began a private practice in Cooma as a Valuer, which he continued to run until when he retired in 2010.

In his later years Mr Simms has been heavily involved in local community organisations and in donating to charity. He is a member of Cooma Rotary Club as well as a member of the retirement unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board and the hostel board and was a member of the Sir William Hudson Nursing Home board.

Another of what he feels is amongst his greatest life achievements is being involved with the proposal and construction of the Sir William Hudson nursing home, Yallambee Lodge and the retirement units in Cooma.

With 90 years behind him, Mr Simms is able to reflect upon the dramatic changes he has witnessed over the years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The changes that have occurred in my lifetime are truly amazing in terms of technology and the way that people live. It has been interesting to watch the changes to Cooma over the years as well,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Mr Simms continues to live happily in retirement, looking after his beautiful sevenacre property on Church Road.

Taelar wins at Melbourne Royal Show Local equestrian rider, Taelar Williams has done the region proud once again after being named Lady Rider of the Year for the 18-21 division at the Royal Melbourne Show.

The 19-year-old rider was declared the winner on September 24 when she competed against 17 other top Australian riders in her class.

Williams borrowed her friend Troy Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horse Shakira L P to earn the title and was shocked to win after only riding the horse twice before the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I had a chance, I was called in last in my division and the judges didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give much away before the announcement was made,â&#x20AC;? said Miss Williams.

Shakira L P also won Gentlemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Show Hunter Hack in the Royal Melbourne Show when her owner Troy Wilson rode her.

It follows a string of successful events for the local rider.

Williams has excelled in the arena at a number

of competitions with her horse Joker this year including perhaps her most proud moment, being named Grand National Rider of the year in March.

The pair also had high placings at both Canberra Royal and Sydney Royal Show. At Boneo Park in southern Victoria, Williams was named runner up rider in the 17-21 years.

They also competed at local agricultural shows across the region. They returned from the Bega Agricultural Show winning the Supreme Ridden Horse of the Show.

However with Joker out of the game with an injury, Taelar has been borrowing friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horses to continue to compete. This weekend she competed in the Horse of the Year event with her friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horse â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Redâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and she returned home with third place overall in her rider class with the preceding judge giving her first place.

HIGH RISKS DUE TO LACK OF COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS IN OUR REGION Given the recent warnings from the Rural Fire Services (RFS) relating to high hot summer temperatures and dry and gusty winds for communities to be vigilant and plan for fire warnings, concerns have once again emerged relating to inadequate telecommunications within the region to meet emergency and other media program situations.

The concerns received have come from a wide range of areas across the Monaro from Anembo, through Rock Flat, Nimmitabel, Peak Road, Numeralla, Adaminaby and some areas of Cooma the township.

The concerns highlight the inadequate or non-existent warning communications through mobile and landline phones, some UHF radios, and in certain areas, inadequate or non-existent ABC program coverage.

This proves to be a significant concern when relaying emergency broadcasts, especially considering the Tinderry fires, and in recent years, the fires throughout the Yarrabin- Kybeyan areas.

Appropriate representations were made by this Council to the then Federal Minister, Stephen Conroy, over the inadequate responses from his Department and the NBN executive when issues of inadequate communications were raised with them last year. The potential risks to life and property if a fire was to break out were highlighted at these meetings with no success in resolving the communication issues.

There is an increasing number of new home/farm based businesses and residential growth throughout the Shire, all requiring high speed internet and radio transmission as well as reliable other telecommunications to meet all emergency and business requirements.

Recently, further representations were made to the ABC by local residents in some of the above Monaro areas relating to poor reception with petitions seeking upgrading of transmission services to enable the respective communities to listen to radio and television programs.

Council is concerned that there is a need for upgrading the current telecommunication services throughout various sections of the Shire to not only ensure the safety of residents in the event of any emergency, but also to provide links with the growing residential and business sectors.

Council will be raising this issue with the new Federal Communications Minister, Malcolm Turnbull through our new local member, Mr. Peter Hendy, seeking a review and an urgent upgrade of the telecommunication systems within the region.

More thanks for volunteers the

postman calls

This weekend is a chance for all of us to relay for someone we know or love with cancer, or surviving cancer, at the annual Relay for Life.

Apart from raising awareness of cancer and its impact on sufferers, their families and carers, the relay is also a good opportunity to raise necessary funds to continue the fight against this terrible disease.

So do your bit – if you can’t walk in the relay, donations can be made to any of the participating teams or direct to Relay for Life.

Every one of us knows someone who has been affected by cancer. We can all help.

Rightyo, The Postman is seriously annoyed after the last week of B! frosts. He had written off the apricots and the wisteria, but still had hopes for the cherry plums.

He didn’t expect the Claret Ash to be nuked as well as EVERY tiny little plum.

Even the sage has had the frosty kiss of death.

Enough already! It’s time for spring rains, gentle vespers and warmer temperatures.

Got it? Good. Let’s get on with it.

The Postman’s thoughts are with the firefighters and victims of the terrible bushfires this week.

No doubt there will be inquiries to determine how and why the fires started – that doesn’t bring back what has been lost.

As for the two ‘girls’ caught lighting fires.

Some frontline fire fighting might help explain to them the error of their ways?

Harsher penalties might be required.

Editor, This week Monaro Freight will be transporting (free of charge) four large boxes (supplied by Lorayne, Cooma Power Equipment) containing 124 rugs to the ‘Wrap with Love Inc’ Warehouse in Sydney.

Thank you once again Marco.

A big thanks to Pam and staff at the Cooma library for organising a morning to sew up squares to make rugs on August 21 and than a full day on September 25.

With around 20 on each occasion we got a lot done and certainly appreciated the delicious morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea.

Most people told me they enjoyed doing something worthwhile, including a young lad from Taiwan, who heard about it at the Neighbourhood Centre in Jindabyne.

Thanks to Jenny, John and staff at Snowliners for helping get the boxes ready for transport.

Also thanks to Beryl Seears, Betty McCabe, Gemma Collins and the craft group and all the dedicated and caring people in Cooma, the district and their friends who are concerned about homeless people in Australia and around the world.

A quote from a women (dec) from Sydney who work for Wrap with Love Inc and interviewed by a radio station many years ago.

“It gives you an inner satisfaction somehow to know you are doing something for somebody else. I know I’m a small cog in a vast wheel, but without those little cogs, the wheel doesn’t turn”.

Betty Mattner Convenor Wrap with Love Inc.

Onya, Myrtle and Jack Editor, After wandering through your paper this morning reading all the “doom and gloom” about shops closing on the main street and people assaulting police I came upon an article and photo close to the back with a picture of Myrtle Boate and her GREAT Grandson competing together in the

Tathra Tennis comp and getting to the semi’s.

This little story made me really remember what life is all about!

Good on ya Myrtle and Jack - keep livin da dream!!!

Riposte

contact, not even weekly, but regular would be good which is why I make moves to contact him just to make sure he’s still breathing, so when I can’t get a hold of him... This has been happening a lot lately.

I don’t have a problem keeping up contact with Daughter as she answers her phone and replies to texts but then she will call or text me anyway but Twin I can be elusive and while I’m delighted that he is doing so well out in the world, I would like to hear his voice or at least read his replies now and again because when too many weeks of phone silence go by I do the worry thing!

Anyway, turns out he wasn’t dead in a ditch or snatched by aliens or something, he was spending his down time with a computer game and yes, he did get my messages and yes, he did mean to get back to me but it was like, two-o’clock in the morning and he didn’t realise it was so late and so on and so forth. I know this now because he called Daughter to find out something about the computer game and she gave him an earful about not returning calls and answering texts and he figured (wisely) that he had better catch up with His Mother!

But it’s nice to know he’s enjoying life...now that I actually know!

Lisa Ashurst I’m not one of those people who gets all het up when a text message I’ve sent doesn’t get answered in an instant, well not usually but when I send one out to one of the kids (Twin I) and I don’t hear anything for a day or so and then I send another and receive no reply again I tend to go through all the motions like concerned, very concerned, annoyed, very annoyed and then back to all the phases of concerned.

Okay, so he’s independent now and is doing well at Uni and has friends, lectures etc so in one way I don’t expect to hear from him immediately but when I can’t get an answer when I call I feel a text is the next best thing so when I don’t get replies to those I start to worry. Has he come off his pushbike again and splattered himself? Has something else happened to him? Should I jump in the car and go hell for leather down the highway to Bega to track him down and make sure he’s okay? And here I was thinking I was not a panicprone parent!

It’s not like I expect to have daily

Police report On Saturday morning Cooma ambulance officers attended a single motor vehicle accident at Billilingra.

The 67-year-old female driver lost control of her car and rolled off the road at approximately 7.30am and was treated on scene for minor injuries.

On Saturday afternoon ambulance officers attended the A&C Fun Day at Adaminaby where a 14-year-old girl suffered a lower back injury after falling off her horse. She was transported to Cooma hospital for treatment.

On Saturday afternoon, RFS attended a fire at Ironmungie which burnt approximately two hectares and was still under observation on Monday.

Fire rescue, ambulance officers and police attended a single vehicle rollover near Bunyan at 2pm

on Sunday where an elderly couple lost control of their car and rolled off the road.

Both were treated on scene for minor injuries.

Cooma police are in possession of a Nixon brand watch, which was recovered earlier this year.

It is believed to have been stolen during the latter half of 2012 or up to April 30.

A number of break and enter and stealing offences were reported to police during 2012 and 2013 and police believe that the owner may not have missed this item at that time or another victim may not have come forward to report the theft.

If you have lost a Nixon watch or you are aware of someone who has, please contact Cooma detectives.

To claim the watch, full description must be provided.

Waterweek Water means livable communities!

This year, the National Water Week theme is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;liveable communitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which highlights the importance of sustainable water management Australia wide, in the hope that everyone involved in water use and management will make sure that water is a top priority issue.

Stated simply, the importance of livable communities means making sure we have enough fresh, clean water for our needs. In Cooma, and now also Canberra if they so choose, we are very lucky to source our water from the Murrumbidgee River, which is pretty clean by world standards.

Livable communities also means looking after other beings that depend on water ecosystems.

This is like taking out double insurance because a healthy river that supports a diversity of plants and animals will also supply clean fresh water.

Indeed, in our area we have reason to celebrate, because it so happens that our community has plenty to show in terms of looking after our waterways. In Cooma, the Keep Cooma Creek Clean campaign is a great example of our community

coming together to help look after our local creek, which is a great asset to our town. Cooma Litterpickers, Cooma-Monaro Shire Council, Challenge, Waterwatch and local volunteers are working together to protect the creek.

On a catchment scale, across our region dedicated Waterwatchers, Frogwatch and Platypus watch volunteers measure and look out for changes in our waterways to help inform us about what is going on in our rivers and creeks. This information is then used to get an idea of the health of waterways and identify what can be done to protect and improve them.

Working to ensure clean water supplies and improve our waterway health in our area are local councils, CMAs, Landcare and landholders by carrying out projects such as erosion control works, revegetating riparian zones, weed control and fencing to exclude stock.

We can be proud this Water Week that our community is working together to ensure that we will be a livable community into the future and as we have shown, everyone has a role to play!

They are recognised all over the world.

The exams consist of prepared ballet routines from the set syllabus that the dancers learn throughout the year. The highest result from the exams was an amazing 96 percent.

Head of Ballet at Cooma Dance Co, Lisa Fernance says that she is extremely proud of all of her students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the girls only take part in one ballet class a week so it is amazing that they all did so well. The whole studio is proud of them,â&#x20AC;? Ms Fernance said.

The Berridale branch of the CWA recently held their AGM with Mrs Pat Field being elected as the President for the 2013/2014 period.

To assist her in her new role Pat will be assisted by Secretary Sue Luccarda, Treasurer Jean Smith and outgoing President Pam Hynd moving into the role of Vice President.

During the election the ladies had their badges presented by long time member and former President, Bev Allen.

Outgoing President Pam Hynd thanked members for their help over the past year and their hard work which resulted in a very successful and productive previous 12 months.

Pam also thanked Pat Thompson and Elizabeth McKinnon for

their continued support with the community music afternoon and exercise classes.

The ladies were also very pleased with the turnout of visitors to their Spring Fair market day with their famous tea and scones literally walking out the door and are happy to announce the winners of their quilt raffle with Don Rankin winning first prize and Judy Young taking out second.

Anyone wishing to join the local branch are welcome to attend a CWA meeting, which are held on the first Wednesday of the month at 1.30pm at the CWA rooms located in Myack Street and a reminder for anyone wishing to hire the hall or have the ladies cater for an event, to call Natalina Casorotti on 64563668.

As late summer steals in and the e d, final pearls of barley are gleaned, a village comes under threat.

A trio of outsiders â&#x20AC;&#x201C; two men and a dangerously magnetic woman â&#x20AC;&#x201C; arrives on the woodland borders and puts up a make-shift camp. That same night, the local manor house is set on fire.

Over the course of seven days, Walter Thirsk sees his hamlet unmade: the harvest blackened by smoke and fear, the new arrivals cruelly punished, and his neighbours held captive on suspicion of witchcraft. But something even darker is at the heart of his story, and he will be the only man left to tell it...

Heather Anoleck Dip FMBM

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

Spring is here!

Spring is upon us, and in what is traditionally a busy time in the housing market, it is the perfect time to review your existing home loan needs.

Many Lenders are currently offering incentives, with higher package discounts for new loans, or cash rebates for refinances.

Combined with the low fixed and variable interest rates on offer, it makes sense to have a think about a ‘spring clean’ of your loan. If you haven’t reviewed it in the past 3-5 years, it is quite likely that there is a better option out there for you.

For first home buyers, who don’t have any idea of what is involved, or even how much you can borrow, let me help you. I can assess your situation and let you know what your borrowing capacity is, and if you aren’t quite ready yet, I can let you know what you will need to do to get there.

I will also explain the process for you from enquiring about finance, to settling on the house of your dreams, and be there to make each step as easy for you as possible.

If you want to upgrade, and think you need to sell your existing home first, let me see if it is affordable for you to have both. There are options for bridging finance, or keeping your existing house as an investment property. A review of your situation will give you options, and may mean you don’t miss out on the ‘perfect’ house.

So whatever your situation, give me a call today on mobile 0431 351 873, or email me at heather@hdafinancesolutions.com.au to arrange an appointment.

Helping YOU Prosper QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

Property Investment is confusing for some, daunting for others, scary as hell to a majority and easy for a few.

Why? Because there is so much information out there about property no wonder there is so many emotions people are feeling.

The key is before you do anything, ask yourself these questions…..

1) Do you have enough Super to secure your financial future?

2) Do you have a strategy in lace to replace your income when the income stops?

3) Do you think investing in Property anywhere will give you the same returns?

4) Do you know how to structure your finance to secure your home from risk?

5) Do you know where the hot spots are in Australia right now?

6) If you knew a hot spot, do you know how to identify a quality property?

7) Do you think 30,000 new jobs would increase the demand for property?

8) What do you think low vacancy rates equals for an investment property?

9) Do you think Billions of dollars in infrastructure spending equals growth?

10) Is education important to help you make astute decisions?

These are just a few questions you should ask yourself if you do not know the answer to one or more of these I will be running an information night in November that you could attend to help you with answers.

Talking about information nights our Sunland event we ran last week had 78 people there and the few from Cooma who made the effort, spoke to me at the end and were very thankful for the invite as it was very informative. There is no doubt education is king, you do not know what you don’t know and all I can say is do not invest in property before you have educated yourself, it is crucial to your success.

One more question. Do you think Cooma makes a sensible investment?

As much as I love Cooma it is my home town and yes the rental returns are not bad, when I get asked by local builders to help them find buyers for their properties. I ask them…

1) Is Cooma’s Population growing?

2) Is there major infrastructure projects in the pipeline?

3) Does Cooma have the demographic to justify house prices to double in 10 years?

4) Is there major employment opportunities employing thousands even hundreds starting in Cooma?

These few questions are crucial, if the answer is not yes to one or more then ask yourself. Does the location tick all the boxes for a safe, secure and successful investment?

There is 3 major Hot spots in Australia right now that are affordable, and are set for exponential growth that is sustainable. If you would like to know how to identify the best property for growth, rental returns and no stress please do not hesitate to contact me or attend the November information night.

Have a great day!

COOMA ROTARY CLUB

CELEBRATING 60 YEARS Current Cooma Rotary Board

The 2013/14 board; Margaret Hassall, Elaine Schofield, Katrin Hackney, Elaine Mooney, Marco Revelant, Richard Lawson, Ash Constance and Patrick Kwan.

Rotary Club of Cooma Cooma Rotary Club celebrates its 60th birthday with a special dinner this Saturday.

Cooma Rotary Club received its Charter on February 6, 1954 having been sponsored by Queanbeyan Club.

The original membership was 27 and the Charter President was Maurie Hook.

Many local improvements have been made by the Cooma Rotary Club receiving its Charter.

One outstanding project was the Creek Scheme constructed in 1961-64 for flood control and beautification of Cooma Creek over 2km of its course downstream of Egan Street.

Earthmoving was performed free as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;demonstrationâ&#x20AC;? to the Local Government Association Conference in Cooma in 1961.

The Cooma Club is actively engaged in Club Service, Youth Exchange, Rotary Foundation, Community Service and Vocational Service.

Some of the major projects the club has been involved in in recent years include the Kemabolo, PNG, project, the Shelter Box initiative, polio eradication and the beautification of Rotary Oval.

(The oval was developed by the club in 1961).

The clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early years also saw the running of the Festival of Snows, the proceeds from which benefitted the local community, the annual Beer Fest and the statue on Nanny Goat Hill.

The club now conducts monthly markets in Cooma, which not only enlivens the town, but also raises funds for the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many projects.

The object of Rotary The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster: FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service.

SECOND. High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occupation as an opportunity to serve society.

THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal, business and community life.

FOURTH. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

Past president and Paul Harris Fellow, Chris Adams spent many hours on PNG projects which delivered water supplies and bicycles.

President Margaret Hassall with past district president Michael Peddler.

- Margaret Hassall One of the wonderful things about Rotary is the wide range of people that it counts in the membership of its 34,000 clubs.

They are from all different backgrounds and speak almost every one of the hundreds of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s languages.

Wherever you go, you see Rotarians at work, collaborating on projects both local and global.

The diversity of our membership, our clubs and projects, really brings home how many lives we touch and the changes we make in many lives.

And therein is the theme for this year fostered by the International President, Ron Burton, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Engage Rotary, Change Livesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Earlier this year at our changeover dinner I misquoted the theme to make it â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Engage Rotary, Save Livesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, but that is quite the truth when one

considers the lives that have been saved by clean water supplies, and the people who have been saved from the scourge of polio, to quote just two examples.

From 8 December 1953 when Maurie Hook was President, the members of the Rotary Club of Cooma have aspired to the lofty ideals of Rotary International and have rolled up their sleeves to work to make the world a better place, from projects here in Cooma to work in other parts of Australia as well as other countries such as Papua New Guinea, Tanzania, and Nepal.

The core values of service, fellowship, diversity, integrity, and leadership are what define Rotarians, people who take responsibility for their communities.

Long may there be people who will take the initiative and follow in the worthy footsteps of our earlier club members.

Wednesday October 23, 2013

New game and feral animal legislation NSW Minister for Primary Industries, Katrina Hodgkinson, has today welcomed the passage of the Game and Feral Animal Control Amendment Bill 2013 through the NSW Parliament.

Ms Hodgkinson said the legislation allows for: • the disbanding of the Game Council; • the transfer of licensing, hunter education and compliance functions to the Department of Primary Industries (DPI); and • the establishment of the new Game and Pest Management Advisory Board to represent the interests of licensed game hunters in NSW. “The passage of this Bill follows through on the NSW Government’s commitment in July to implement key recommendations in the Dunn Report, which reviewed the governance of the Game Council,” Ms Hodgkinson said.

“This reform will result in better eradication and management of introduced pest animals and more robust and effective oversight of volunteer hunting.

A Game and Pest Management Advisory Board will also be established to represent the interests of hunters and provide advice to myself and DPI on pest control and research and hunter education courses.

“The relocation of functional responsibility for licensing, hunter education and compliance to

DPI will allow for increased accountability and transparency in relation to service delivery.

“Improved opportunities for cross-agency cooperation will allow the development of more effective programs, ensuring continued hunter and public safety and resulting in better pest control outcomes.”

Ms Hodgkinson said the reforms will restore public confidence and the legitimacy of hunting as a recreational activity.

“The reduction of game and feral animals is important to our agricultural sector and to the State’s economy, because it causes productive losses of $70 million each year in NSW,” Ms Hodgkinson said.

“We believe in the role of volunteer hunters in contributing to co-ordinated pest management programs.”

Foot and mouth disease our biggest biosecurity risk A new report by the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) puts the cost of a large foot and mouth disease (FMD) outbreak in Australia at more than $50 billion over 10 years.

Acting Executive Director, ABARES, Dr Kim Ritman, said producers of beef, sheep, dairy and wool would be devastated by such a large FMD outbreak.

“All red meat, live animal and livestock product exports to most major trading partners would stop until the disease was eradicated and market access could be renegotiated,” Dr Ritman said.

Dr Ritman noted this could be a lengthy process, pointing to the experiences of other countries with disease outbreaks and Australia’s own challenges in opening new export markets.

“It could take several years before we could get our product back into our major export markets,” Dr Ritman said Australia’s Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr Mark Schipp, said the ABARES report served as a timely reminder

about the importance of maintaining an effective biosecurity system in Australia.

“Australia has a comprehensive biosecurity system designed to keep diseases such as FMD out of the country,” Dr Schipp said.

“We have stringent controls at the border and we do quite a lot of work with our near neighbours in southeast Asia to minimise the risk of it getting in.”

Dr Schipp explained that plans are in place to ensure that, in the unlikely event that the disease did get into the country, it would be eradicated as quickly as possible.

“This involves the Australian Government working closely with the states and territories as well as with industry to ensure we’re prepared and respond rapidly,” Dr Schipp said.

The ABARES report assesses the economic and social impacts under a few FMD outbreak scenarios and shows that while still very costly, a small outbreak that is identified and eradicated quickly is not as devastating for producers and rural communities.

Flu shows need for biosecurity vigilance

SERVICE · INFORMATION · MARKETING Maxine Blyton 0418 484 733

Confirmation of an avian influenza outbreak at a Young egg farm has highlighted the importance of on-farm biosecurity, NSW Farmers Association said.

NSW Farmers Association Egg Committee Chair Mr Bede Burke said: “This outbreak is devastating for the families involved and a timely reminder about the need to be vigilant with biosecurity at all times. This means on the farm and also along the supply chain,” he said.

Department of Primary Industries NSW’s announced late on Tuesday that testing had confirmed the outbreak to be the H7 Avian Influenza strain - a disease confined to poultry only.

Mr Burke said poultry producers were relieved it is not the highly infectious H5N1 strain.

“The challenge and pressure is on agencies now for control and effective eradication of the disease. It is not just the egg producers but staff and local businesses and the community who are already feeling the affect of the outbreak and quarantine controls which have been put in place,” Mr Burke said.

“The outbreak highlights the importance of maintaining a range of

poultry production systems in Australia and the need to ensure a secure supply of an affordable and popular protein.”

Mr Burke said different production systems carried different degrees of biosecurity risks with free range carrying the highest risk compared to indoor systems.

“Modern egg production systems have evolved to reflect consumer demand balanced with bird health and well being. But it is important to ensure we maintain different production systems to limit biosecurity risks,” he said.

“There is no evidence that this flu strain poses food safety issues and we encourage egg and poultry consumers to continue to support farmers by purchasing eggs and poultry meat.

“Staff from the DPI, the NSW Food Authority and other agencies are doing a fantastic job at communicating to our industry and those directly affected by the outbreak and we thank them for that,” Mr Burke concluded.

People who notice sick or dead birds should contact their local veterinarian or call the Emergency Animal Disease Watch Hotline on 1800 675 888.

Grassroots 27 The MFS wether trial shearingâ&#x20AC;Śbig differences in bloodline performance Wednesday October 23, 2013

With the recent second shearing of the MFS merino genetic evaluation trial the full adult wool production potential of the participating teams can now be assessed. Differences in performance in wether trials typically show the top teams producing nearly double the annual wool value of lowest teams when expressed per dry sheep equivalent (DSE).

While wether trials undoubtedly establish bloodline performance for wool production as well as mature size characteristics they do not put this into the context of their impact in commercial flock structures.

This year, MFS has again asked Doug Alcock from Graz Prophet Consulting to give a presentation on the contribution genetics can make in a wool enterprise (both breeding ewes and wethers) using the results from the MFS wether trial.

Doug comments: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is important that the raw performance be divided by the teams DSE rating because sheep of bigger mature size have higher maintenance requirements and less animals can be run on any given land area. The genetic merit of a sheep flock ultimately determines how efficiently they turn pasture into profit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is important not just because of its direct return but also because running more profitable sheep makes for faster and larger returns on investments in the pasture base such as sowing new pastures and fertilising existing pastures,â&#x20AC;? Doug said.

However while the combined results

of numerous wether trials undoubtedly establish bloodline performance for wool production as well as mature size characteristics, they are often criticised for not properly valuing the contribution of meat production and fertility which has become increasingly important with increased sheep prices in recent years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Benchmark data shows sales of surplus stock typically contributes between 40 and 50% of the income in a modern merino breeding enterpriseâ&#x20AC;? Mr Alcock said.

Monaro Farming Systems has sought to overcome this shortcoming of wether trials through the use of modelling, which can incorporate and combine data, not just from the animal but also soil, pasture and climate, giving the ability to compare genetic performance within various grazing systems.

MFS chairman Oliver Cay said â&#x20AC;&#x153;we have engaged Doug to impose a range of the bloodlines from the wether trial

in a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;benchmarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; GrassGro farm system to compare them in the context of typical Monaro merino breeding enterpriseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and grazing typical Monaro Pastures.

By doing this the relative contribution of genetics for wool production, growth and reproduction can be included and compared in terms of farm profitâ&#x20AC;?.

Mr Alcock adds: â&#x20AC;&#x153;while growth and reproduction are increasingly important to profit in the breeding enterprise many Monaro farms still retain significant numbers of wethers whose profitability relies almost solely on the wool traits.

The correct balance between wool, growth and fertility traits is therefore very farm specific and depends heavily on the mix of grazing land available and hence the ultimate flock structure on each farm.â&#x20AC;?

The wool seminar on Monday October 28, co-hosted by MFS and GLW (Gordon Litchfield Wool), will run sessions in Bombala (morning) and Cooma (afternoon) and will also have Phil Graham (NSW DPI) presenting the results of the MFS wether trial 2nd shearing as well as a presentation from Jimmy Jackson, AWI / Woolmark product & marketing

Hinesville Merino Stud and West Plains Poll Merino Stud will conduct their annual on-property ram sale and field day on Saturday October 26 from the new time 1pm to 5pm.

Sixty Poll and Horn rams will be offered with full fleece test figures available.

The Chapman family will hold the day in the pleasant garden surrounds of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Roadviewâ&#x20AC;? on Rocky Range Road at Delegate NSW. On display will be a large selection of stud sires, breeding ewes and Embryo Transfer lambs.

The rams for offer are sired by industry benchmarked sires with many progeny being ET bred out of elite donor ewes.

Hinesvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breeding direction has been focused on REAL commercial profitability.

Concentrating on high fleece weight, fertility and high body weights are our main selection criteria. Our following clients Australia wide have demonstrated the profitability of our bloodline.

H i n e s v i l l e client of 23 years, Adrian Tuohey of Huntly,Victoria, had his two to seven-year-old wethers cut a 9.7 kg average real wool weights then their seven-year old wethers sold for $89 bare shorn = real profit.

Peter & Tania Tresidder of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Golden Valleyâ&#x20AC;?

Culcairn, NSW are purchasers of high grade West Plains Poll Sires. They have sold 9-10 month old Merino wether lambs over the hooks in July 2013 for $105.40 plus $15 skins, thus having a selfreplacing flock with no need to buy replacement ewes = REAL PROFIT. Bundilla Poll Merino Stud, a highly ranked stud in MerinoSelect, has used West Plains Riewoldt. Riewoldtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progeny have ranked in the top 3 sires at Bundilla for high fleece weight, low micron index = A REAL PROFIT COMBINATION. Laurence and Melissa Clifford of Bindaree, Dry Plain, NSW competed at the Monaro Merino Muster 2013 and exhibited the Fabstock Monaro Commercial Ewe of the Year.The Bindaree ewe was sired by a Hinesville Assassin family sire. Judge Paul Walton, Wurrock Merino Stud, VIC described her as a ewe of immense scale that carried a fleece of exceptional staple length, richness and bulk. The Bindaree ewe then cut 9 kgs for 9 months wool.

Colin Cunningham, Walla Walla, NSW, was

awarded the Elders Certificate for the highest priced 18.5 to 20 micron clip for the October wool sales in Melbourne.

We wish to congratulate the Sprigg family, East Strathglen Merino Stud, Tambellup, WA on their outstanding showing at the 2012 Australian Sheep and Wool Show, Bendigo. East Strathglen exhibited the Australian National Pair winning team, the Supreme Exhibit, Grand Champion Ram and Ewe. All these winning exhibits were sired by ES Top Gun who is an Embryo Transfer son of HV Excavator.

At the 2013 East Strathglen Ram Sale, 150 rams averaged $1750. Hinesville and West Plains sires featured prominently. Hinesville Assassin sons sold to $5000 averaging $3750. Hinesville Excavator sons averaged $2750 and grandsons to $9000.

West Plains Reiwoldt sons averaged $2600.

The Lewis Family, Delegate, the Knox Family, Bombala, and the Palarang Partnership, Bombala were all listed by the Land newspaper for the top prices in the Sydney wool sales in the last month.

We welcome all visitors and clients on our day. A complimentary classing service is also available to all clients of Hinesville and West Plains. All inquiries can ring Drew Chapman on 6458 8129.

Schute Bell Wool report

US politicians avoided a potential debt default situation at the 11th hour (only until early February) which helped send the Aussie dollar above 96 cents to a five month high. In turn the wool market fell, mirroring the rise in exchange rates.

Last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big movers gave back a lot of the ground they made with only the Superfine and selected Cross Bred types finishing on the positive side of the ledger.

Falls were recorded over both selling days however towards the end of the final day the market was reported as beginning to improve. The designated Superfine sale in Sydney resulted in a stylish offering being presented to the trade with good competition evident on selected lots. 46,249

29

bales were sold nationally for the week with 10.4% passed in. Major Buyers included Lempriere, Chinatex and Techwool with Italian interests operating on the better style types.

On average close to 50,000 bales are expected to be on offer each week for the next month. With the offerings in the West up a massive 24% on the same period last year more than offsetting a slight drop in the Northern and Southern reghions.

Next Weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sales 47,303 bales are expected to be on offer nationally with 11,227 in Sydney. Schute Bell, Wool Auctions, Goddard & Monaro Wool are selling on Thursday 24th October.

All swimmers completed the four swimming strokes of their distance to record their first times for the year.

By the noise on the night it must have been fun as at times you could hardly hear the starters signal.

Several children also improved on their times from last year which is great to see.

They must have been practising over winter.

The club is gearing up for its

25th year as a club. Annual Club registration fees are as follows $95 per swimmer which includes one parent as non swimmer.

It is then just $65 per additional family swimming member.

The children, parents and committee of the Jindabyne Amateur Swimming Club send a huge thankyou to Perisher Ski Resort for their generous donation of a Community Grant of $500.

The donation will be used towards the end of season presentation g trophies op d evening and awards.

On Sunday November 3 there will be no rinks available for Social Bowls because of the Patronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shield against Bombala which is an annual event, alternating between the two clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

In social bowls on Saturday, Elaine Taylor, Denis Steinfort and John Vincent could do nothing wrong against Simon Schoon, Renate Winckel and John Schoon with two seven shot ends, were convincing winners 34-10.

Mario Frezza, Jack Sajina and Mark Buckley won ten of the 21 played but scored 22 shots to 16 against Sergio Roncelli, Peter Marsicano and Steven Seears.

Ron Gammon, Mike Mannile and Paul Cannell had the best of the early ends against Keith Goodwin, Bob Douglas and Garry Taylor, but faltered in the home run for Keith, Bob and Garry to win 24-15.

On Sunday 23 bowlers enjoyed slightly improved conditions and a slightly slower green.

Nelson Wallace, Don Jarvis and Tom Reed were slow to get going against Ron Gammon, Max Reeve and Tony Gray but once they gained the lead on nine they were never headed and went on to win 26-17.

Max Povey, Ev Hamilton and Dave McDonald dropped five shots to Keith Goodwin, Peter Harris and Richard Nichols but recovered to trail 10-11.

Close matches in cricket round two The second week of T20 action saw some very competitive scores and some very close matches.

At Snowy Oval Cooma Cats accounted for the Dalgety/ Berridale team.

The Dalgety team put in a strong performance with both bat and ball with Bob Smith picking up a hat trick but some solid hitting from Mitch Hynes T20 specialist was enough for the Cats to take home the spoils.

In the second match Berridale won the toss and elected to bat. The inform pair of L Redmond (48) and B Hearn (78) got Berridale off to a flyer. Redmond and Hearn had the run rate up around nine an over.

The pair chanced their arms against the Cats attack and with the help of a few catches put down in the deep, the pair put on 102 in quick time before K Khouri (1-26) had Redmond caught. M Bruce (21*) joined Hearn and the pair continued to score at ease. Hearn eventually holed out to the bowling of D Asanovski (1-32) and with the score on 140 with three overs to go A Bruce (14*) joined younger brother Matt and the pair scored 29 off the last three overs giving Berridale a very healthy 2/169.

Cats got off to a cautious start with C Khoury (115) and K Regan (9) putting on 66 in nine overs before L Redmond (1/35) dismissed Regan.

After a couple of lucky escapes early in his innings C Khoury the Monaro captain began to take full toll on the Berridale bowling attack, smashing anything short or wayward amassing seven sixes and 11 fours in a masterful display of power hitting. Khoury dominated the strike putting on several partenerships. Most notable was a 55 run partnership with S Wood who scored 5. Khoury got the run rate up to over nine an over and an unlikely victory almost looked like a certain victory. S Freebody (2/22) got the big wicket, bowling Khoury and with the Cats needing 20 off three overs this was going right down to the wire.

The 18th over was a big over from M Bruce taking two

wickets and only two runs scored off the over and the match swung back to Berridale. Cats needed 12 off the last over and some great fielding from Berridale saw four Cats batsman run out in the final over leaving the Cats two runs short of victory.

In the third match, Alpine won the toss and elected to bat against Berridale.

Fresh from the onlsaught of Khoury in the last match the bowlers got their lines right and produced a much better performance with only three balls making the Cooma Cats had some good bowls against Berridale but just fell short of victory. boundary.

Bombala annual race meeting a winner Continued from Page 36.

Good judges thought young Jennings had erred and “gone too early” on the favourite, however in a thrilling race, Back to Zero never wavered to prevail by two lengths from the 10-year-old Sebony and with Mineral Deposit in third place.

Trained by Barbara Joseph and Paul Jones, Back to Zero is raced by Peter Joseph, P Reynolds, Michael Walcott, Keith and Jenny Casey, BC Donoghue and Gary Walters and has now won eight races in his career. Sebony proved he is on track for wins during this preparation and, along with the others, will probably contest races like the Snake Gully Cup at Gundagai on November 15, the Adaminaby Cup on November 23 or the Cooma Cup on December 7.

Race 1 on Saturday was The Murphy’s Transport & Building Supplies, Village Ford Maiden Handicap over 900 metres.

Sapphire Coast trainer Bruce Stewart made the trip up the mountain worthwhile when Miss Sicily (NZ), a mare he trains for himself, took out the event. With the four horse field having travelled in pairs until entering the straight, a real battle ensued when they drew four abreast however, Koby Jennings was able to guide Miss Sicily (NZ) to win by 1.3 lengths from the Canberra trained Fill The Glass and Super City ($2Fav) was third.

With there originally being a field of five starters in the race-book for Race 1, it was unfortunate that first starter Whistle Binkie was scratched after dislodging the jockey just after leaving the enclosure.

The trend regretfully continued when, at the barriers for Race 2, The West End Estate Wines Benchmark 45 Hcp, the seven horse field was dwindled to five when two horses were scratched after becoming fractious in the barrier structure.

With local interest in the Joseph and Jones trained Zakia, and Nereus having been transported from Sale in Victoria, the disappointment of the connections was understandable when they did not get to contest the event. However, the five remaining horses got their chance and in a keenly contested sprint over 1100 metres the John Marzol, Moruya trained, Drama Lodge ($2.90 fav), ridden by Tash Burleigh, prevailed by 2.8 lengths from Flying Blue Girl and Midnite Crusade back in third.

Race 3 was the RSL Club, Monaro Wool, Schute Bell Maiden Plate over 1200 metres and saw seven runners head to the barriers.

Starting from the outside gate, Jewel Wonder ($1.50 fav), ridden by Roly Saxton, was able to cross the field easily to lead and, although joined for a short distance by Zippin’ By, was never in danger and went on to win effortlessly by two lengths from There is No Drama, who tried valiantly, and Zippin’ By who stuck on for third placing.

Jewel Wonder is trained at the Sapphire Coast by Ray “Nugget” Wheatley and is raced by R Dwyer, “Budgie” Switzer and Peter Ubrihien along with Howard, Robert and John Blacker. The five year old mare, having only her fourth start on Saturday, had been placed second on two previous occasions and should win more races given the ease of her victory.

Race 4 was the Wilton Logging Pty Ltd Benchmark 45 Handicap over 1400 metres

and saw a field of nine runners head to the gates.

Local interest was with Bob Kimber’s Michael’s Gift whilst the Joseph and Jones stable had Our Cracker lining up.

Also in the field was God’s Reward ($5.50), trained at Queanbeyan by Frank Cleary and ridden by fledgling apprentice Jason Devrimol, yet to ride a winner in his chosen career.

When the gates opened you Devrimol made his intentions clear as he went forward to lead keeping a gap of over two lengths to Our Cracker, Short Stay hugged the rails improving whilst Michaels Gift had been shown no favours when caught wide for the first 800 metres. God’s Reward retained his lead into the straight and proved to strong to go on and win from Our Cracker, who tried very hard, and Short Stay, trained at Cooma by Georgie Boucher, who finished third. e On Me, The $3.40 favourite, Have One finished seventh. Young Devrimol, who has recently become indentured to Tony Sergi at Queanbeyan, was given the ride by Cleary who had been impressed by his positive demeanour and obliging nature around their Queanbeyan training precinct. The winner is raced by owners including the Estate of n the Late Jim Murphy, businessmen nnis Alex Smith, John McIntyre and Dennis Condon along with the trainer Frankk Cleary.

On September 18, 14-yearold Jake Hedger from Cooma travelled to America with a group of kids chosen for an Australian team for cross country.

The first run was a morning run and the kids were able to prepare well because it was a bit cooler.

Jake did extremely well - he had a great start and stayed with the lead pack for the entire race.

on the Monaro

A large crowd gathered in warm and sunny conditions at the Bombala Racecourse on Saturday to enjoy a great afternoon of country racing.

In the $12,000 Dongwha Timbers Bombala Cup, three former winners, Sebony 2010, Back To Zero 2011 and Outside 2012 were joined by three other well performed gallopers in contesting the 2013 running of the event.

When the barriers opened in the 1200 metre dash, Jolly Joker took the lead with Mineral Deposit in close pursuit. Outside kept in close procession, Sebony was fourth and Back to Zero

dropped to second last at the 700 metre mark.

As the field negotiated the infamous hill, Mineral Deposit pulled alongside to challenge Jolly Joker whilst, in what the race caller described as a “bold ride”, apprentice Koby Jennings commenced to hunt Back To Zero three and four wide around horses to take the lead on entering the straight.

In the meantime, Sebony got an unimpeded rails run and Mineral Deposit maintained the chase.
