Business as usual for John Barilaro
Patients air-lifted after rollover highway crash
The new Deputy Premeir of NSW and Leader of the NSW Nationals, John Barilaro with his family and Premier Mike Baird at Government House last week after being sworn in. Deputy Premier of NSW, John Barilaro, said it is business as usual for him as Member for Monaro. Mr Barilaro was last week voted in as the new leader of the Nationals after the resignation of Troy Grant. The position comes with the role of Deputy Premier. But Mr Barilaro said he would not be Deputy Premier if the people of Monaro had not voted him in as their member. This fact remains as the forefront of his thinking. Although he will have a busier schedule than before, he said that with modern communications, like teleconferencing and Skype, he intends to spend as much time in the electorate as possible . Mr Barilaro’s elevation comes on the back of the Orange by-election which saw a massive swing against the incumbent Nationals member. It was this that decided Mr Grant’s fate as he stood down as the Nationals leader. The by-election also the resignation of Nationals deputy leader Adrian Piccoli, although he will retain his position as Minister for Education. Mr Barilaro said one of his first jobs will be to visit Orange and talk to the people about why they

turned against the party. “We need to ask them what issues we let them down on”, he said. He said the party would also be looking at a reshuffle, getting the right in the right portfolios. Mr Barilaro has publicly stated his support for the Snowy Mountains brumbies. Asked about Premier Mike Baird’s plans to decimate the population, Mr Barilaro said he had spoken with Environment Minister Mark Speakman and he was confident “we will get the result we want”. He said he expected an announcement to be made about the unpopular plan either late this year or early in 2017. Mr Barilaro was hoping to get some family time last weekend, to recharge, but still has electoral commitments. “I was elected as the Member for Monaro and that will always remain my priority”, he said. Mr Barilaro is expected to visit Cooma this weekend for some of those electoral commitments.
Two people were transported to Canberra hospital following a single vehicle rollover at Rock Flat on Friday November 18. The car containing five people was travelling on the Monaro Highway when the driver became distracted and lost control of the vehicle, causing it to roll. All five patients were transported to Cooma Hospital. The 58-year-old female driver sustained pelvic and back injuries and a 67-year-old male had chest injuries. They had to be airlifted to Canberra. The other three passengers had minor injuries and were discharged from Cooma Hospital. On Sunday November 20, a single motorbike accident occurred on Old Braidwood Road, approximately 70km from Cooma. Suffering several fractured ribs, the rider was in a serious but stable condition. Rural Fire Services would like to remind residents of the Snowy Monaro Regional Council that from December 1 to December 3, all fire permits are suspended. This is due to the L’Etape cycling event coming to the region. A 28-year-old Dalgety man was charged with a mid range drink driving offence when he recorded a reading of 0.081 at Cooma Police Station. Officers stopped the male on Friday November 18 after he was caught performing an illegal U-turn in Sharp Street, in Cooma. His licence was immediately suspended and he will appear in Cooma Local Court on December 22. A 54-year-old Cooma male will
appear before Cooma Local Court for alleged offensive conduct after an incident at a government office in Massie Street, Cooma. At about 10.20am on Friday, November 18, police were called after reports a male was allegedly yelling and using offensive language towards staff. The male was moved on by police and will be issued a summons for his alleged behaviour. On Saturday November 19 police responded to a call for assistance from a group of five female hikers in the Kosciuszko National Park after they became disorientated during their hike. The group was retrieved a short time later with police reminding people to be properly equipped when hiking. On Sunday November 20 a Nimmitabel resident returned a positive result to a random breath test when stopped near the intersection of Tom Groggin Road on the Monaro Highway. The driver was taken to Cooma Police Station where they recorded a low level reading of 0.058. The 57-year-old was driving a black Holden utility and will appear in Cooma Local Court on January 18. Fire notice Rural Fire Services would like to remind residents of the Snowy Monaro Regional Council that from December 1 to December 3, all fire permits are suspended. This is due to the L’Etape cycling event coming to the region.

Tribute to Rob Simms’ dedication to Cooma A ceremony was held on Sunday to commemorate the contribution Rob Simms has made in establishing the Monaro Retirement Villas in Cooma. During the ceremony, a plaque was unveiled by Mr Simms’ son Steve and Tony Slater. Mr Simms is currently living at a facility in Sydney and did not feel up to the journey. Although his son said that he would have loved to be there to thank everyone for the honour in person.
Steve said that all those years ago, his father could see that Cooma and the surrounding region needed a hostel and nursing home. So Mr Simms, along with the help of many others, set about establishing these facilities for the town. These included Sir William Hudson Nursing Home, Monaro Retirement Villas and Yallambee Hostel. Now with these facilities available, the elderly can remain in the district among their friends and family. They have also provided the town with many more
employment opportunities, making them a great asset to the community. It was in 1982 that Mr Simms started the committee with a cheque donated by the Rotary Club of Cooma when Carlo Pauletto was president. “Rob has been on many committees which have been instrumental in some major projects happening in the region. But today we are here to recognise his input to the Monaro Retirement Villas, formerly known as the William Hudson Retirement Units,” said Tony Slater at the ceremony.
“Without Rob’s drive and determination the Monaro Retirement Units would not exist today. But of course there were others, such as Elido Fachin, Doug Treloar, Bill Rushton and many others through the years who have made it all possible.” Mr Simms grandson Chris was also present at the ceremony with his girlfriend, along with many friends of Mr Simms. A morning tea was held afterwards at the Sir William Hudson Nursing Home.

CALL THE MONARO POST WITH YOUR NEWS OR VIEWS, ON 6452 0312. LET US KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING. LET’S KEEP IT LOCAL... Administrator’s Column Last Thursday saw the opening of the ITU Cross Triathlon World Championships at the opening ceremony at the Jindabyne Claypits with a VIP welcome function held after. The opening ceremony was fantastic – about 500 people attended. Both Jindabyne Central School and Snowy Mountains Grammar students performed for the crowd and it was great to have the kids involved as part of the opening ceremony. I was proud to attend this event on behalf of Snowy Monaro Regional Council and am pleased to say that the competition over the weekend went really well. We also have L’Etape coming up on December 3, which the community is also getting behind. The statue at Strzelecki Park in Jindabyne has been wrapped in bright yellow, Dalgety has set up their ‘Fan Club’, Berridale has been covered in bright green bikes and Jindabyne has yellow bikes (donated by Council), Cooma will also have bicycles installed and some businesses in Jindabyne will be dressing their staff in yellow on the day. We have been told that even school students in Jindabyne have been studying all the themes associated with L’Etape and their artworks will be placed in the Jindabyne’s Town Centre in time for the event. I want to thank the wider community for coming together to create something unique for both L’Etape and the ITU Cross Triathlon World Championships. Athletes and visitors were highly impressed by the level of enthusiasm and support given by residents across the Snowy Monaro and I think we are truly becoming ‘Australia’s Event Capital’. The Lake Jindabyne Shared Trail, for both walking and bicycle riding, is now both fully approved and funded by Council and we expect to have this project completed by Christmas. The extension of the pre-existing track from Curiosity Rocks to Hatchery Bay picnic area is going to be a great asset for the region as bicycle riding is becoming increasingly popular in the Snowy Mountains as a summer sport. Once the project is complete, I encourage everyone to either ride or walk along the track around the edge of Lake Jindabyne, and experience what we have on our very own doorstep.

Sam’s a top pastry cook Numeralla’s Samantha Trotter has just been named the winner of the National Apprentice Pastry Cook at the Excellence in Baking Awards. The awards ceremony was held at Sydney Harbour on Saturday night, where Sam was presented with the trophy. Sam is in her third year of an apprenticeship at The Gumnut Patisserie in Mittagong. After winning the state competition, Sam went on to compete against the best in the country for the national title. Sam and her competitors were given just seven hours to produce an array of chocolate éclairs, nuns, palmiers, strawberry gateau, various pies, nut tarts and other delicious pastries. This time included cleaning as they went and setting up the final display. Having practised a lot in the lead up to the event, Sam was quite calm under the pressure. She said the end result came down to her attention to the finer details in her products. “I am really excited and very happy to have won the award,” said Sam.
“I would like to give a big thank you to my bosses Tracy and Vicki for all their support and encouragement. I couldn’t have done it without them.” The Gumnut Patisserie is renowned in the Southern Highland area for being the best place for all things pastry. The business is 21 years old with shops in Bowral, Mittagong and Berrima. Sam has been able to gain some excellent experience working with The Gumnut team and loves working there. “I really enjoy working at The Gumnut. I am always learning new things and I like to challenge myself all the time.” Growing up in Numeralla, Sam went to school at Cooma Public before attending Monaro High School. With no opportunities available for pastry chef apprenticeships on the Monaro, Sam looked towards Wollongong where she has more family. At 20 years old, Sam has one more year to go until her apprenticeship is complete.
Free hearing test referrals help the Salvos During November and December, Monaro residents are encouraged to put their hearing to good use in support of the Salvation Army’s Christmas appeal. In the lead up to Christmas, National Hearing Care Cooma will donate $20 to The Salvation Army on behalf of every customer who refers a friend or loved one for a free hearing check. “The Salvation Army helps more than one million disadvantaged Australians each year through their annual Christmas Appeal, which assists people in need with
meals, shelter and hope at a difficult time of year,” National Hearing Care Managing Director, Michael Smith, said. “We wanted to help in those in need, as well as support people in the community who may be experiencing hearing loss, which is why we decided to join forces with the Salvos over this critical time of giving,” Michael said. Until December 23, each visitor to National Hearing Care Cooma will be provided with a promotional coupon to share with friends or family members aged over 50 years old – the highest risk age group for
hearing loss. For every coupon that is redeemed for a free hearing check, National Hearing Care Cooma will donate $20 to The Salvation Army. Michael said the initiative allows Monaro locals to help a loved one and also someone in need. “Whether it’s helping a friend or family member on the path to better hearing or supporting someone doing it tough over the holidays, it’s easy to help make a difference this season,” Michael said. “Our support of The Salvo’s Christmas campaign provides
an opportunity to raise awareness of hearing issues while also helping The Salvation Army continue their invaluable work over the Christmas period.” Many people are unaware they may be experiencing hearing loss as the process can be very gradual, for this reason, it is vital to have regular hearing checks. “We hope that the chance to support such a great cause will encourage Monaro locals to take a proactive step towards protecting their hearing,” Michael concluded.
NOVEMBER 23rd, 2016 Keep Wipes out of the Pipes!
Types of Wet Wipe Products
There’s something lurking in our sewers and it isn’t pretty. Each year, we remove 30 tonnes of wet wipe products from our sewers. In some cases, the wipes need to be manually removed by our staff before they cause overflows into customers’ homes or creeks. Wipes may clear your toilet bowl but they can combine with fats, oils and other things that shouldn’t be flushed into big, congealed clumps – or ‘fatbergs” – in the sewer.
Over the years wet wipes have been developed to cater for a whole host of categories, which are constantly growing all the time. Here is a list of the main areas where you can expect to find wipes: • Baby Wipes • Household Wet Wipes: Floor Wipes, Pet Wipes, Glass Wipes, Leather Wipes, Furniture Wipes • Cosmetic Wet Wipes: Make Up Removal, Anti-Ageing Wipes, Anti-Acne Wipes, Nail Removal Wipes • Personal Care Wipes: Feminine Wipes, Moist Toilet Tissue, Face Wipes, Hand Wipes, Body Wash Cloths • Industrial and Institutional Wipes: Car Wipes, Anti-bacterial Wipes, Dental Wipes, Detergent Wipes • Flushable Wipes • Paper Hand Towels
Did you know? • Wipes can get stuck either in our system or your sewage pipes, and could cost you up to $1,000 in plumbing bills. • Wet wipes increase the risk of pipe breaks, and then overflows into our local creeks and rivers. • 75% of all sewer blockages involve wet wipes. • Flushed wet wipes are costing our community $75,000 every year and this figure is growing.

Community helps students discuss personal growth St Pat’s School held their annual Reflection and Personal Growth Day on Thursday last week. The day involved Year 9 students splitting into male and female groups and discussing issues of relationships, identity and self-esteem. Pip Daley, Wellbeing Support Person facilitated the girls program and Mark van Ommen, Assistant Principal facilitated the boys program. “As Year 9 will be the student leaders next year, it seemed a fitting time to give them an opportunity to explore some larger life issues and to develop an appreciation for themselves as individuals and as a group,� said Pip. “All the students enjoyed a positive, affirming day.� A community panel for each group was conducted, with panelists sharing their knowledge and experiences with the students. Panelists for the girls group were Jade Roach, Kristy Nicholls, Jane Cay and Sara Feeny-Marks, and Robert Coyte, Sam Stevenson, Johnny Nassar, Richard Mack, Mark Williams and Kevin Dunne for the
boys. Students were given the opportunity to ask the panelists questions about their careers, personal experiences and who inspires them. “I thought the day was amazing!� said Kristy Nichols. “Wonderful tools to equip the young men and women of our future with. I was surprised at how receptive they were to what we had to say and I felt really honoured to be able to be a part of the day.� The programs were supported on the day by Nikki, Mel and Cathy from the Hub and Sam, a white ribbon ambassador. Youth Development Officer with the Hub, Mel Sass, said that the day is a fantastic initiative run by the school, particularly for that age group. “At Year 9 the students have developed a level of maturity that allows them to deal with these sorts of issues,� she said. “One of the main topics we discussed with the girls’ group was safe relationships and domestic violence. I was surprised at how
much the girls already knew about the topic and what to do and where they can go under those circumstances. About five years ago, having these conversations with girls of this age group, they wouldn’t have had the knowledge that these girls do now.� Topics covered by the girls
included: healthy relationships, personal boundaries, positive selfimage, media and photoshopping, self belief, positive affirmations, maintaining friendships and the importance of positive relationships. Topics covered by the boys included: male identity, masculinity, positive role models,
gender stereotypes, self belief, positive body images, media and manipulation, males and emotions, power of conversation, looking out for your mates and healthy relationships. Lisa Haines also conducted a yoga session at the end of the day.

Snowliner’s Vietnamese tour – part one
Here we are back in Ho Chi Ming City after an overnight stay in Sydney. How great is it to just walk across the road to checkin at the airport and this time we did not have a long slow queue at check-in. Welcome to the heat and humidity of Vietnam (the 13th most populous country, 2009 figures are 85.8 million), the rain buckets down as we make our way to the hotel - The Grand - very centrally located. After battling the traffic and scooters (about 7 million in the city area) we arrive. The bell boys are there with umbrellas. About ten minutes after arriving our friend Toan joins us, how great it is to meet him again. We have bought 12 tins of baby formula and 6 bags of powdered milk for him. Toan tells us the next day that this is five months supply for his two younger children. A get together dinner is enjoyed with the other passengers booked on our journey through the Mekong, Cambodia and Laos. Saturday arrives and so does Toan, he is taking us to different sights of 'Saigon'. Walking through the 'wet markets' and no they were not wet, we see the usual sights of clothing for sale then it is the food section, meats and fish for sale in the open,
but the pork is so lean. A few samples of fruit are purchased for us to try. After walking through laneways that the normal tourist does not get to, seeing signs saying 'don't park your bike here', we eventually stop at a little cafe. From memory nine of us partake of a refreshing drink for the princely sum of $3 US in total. Lunch is at a local restaurant where we are taken to VIP room 27. This was a very entertaining meal. Starting with green vegetables, followed by lemon chicken which we are told is beautiful with steamed rice, but where is the rice? Eventually it arrives but the chicken is almost gone. Next is fish soup, not to my liking, but hey when in 'Rome'. Two big bowls of this soup that we just cannot do justice to, never mind Toan can take it home to his family, which had to be by way of plastic bag! We were given the opportunity of the 'happy room' in a park, spotlessly clean but you have to take your shoes off at the door. I have forgotten the custom of not putting the toilet paper in the toilet but in these toilets there were not even toilet roll holders, brings a new meaning to byo! To finish the morning off we all enjoy a massage - 90 minutes for $20 US, feet, back, head, neck. While the feet and legs are
massaged fresh cucumber strips are placed on our face - is that heavy breathing I hear? Back to the hotel to freshen up then on a walking food tour with Toan through some of the local markets. On the way one amongst us has a bad fall so back to the hotel for her. Deep fried spring rolls, cold spring rolls and prawn pancakes (crunchy prawns as they don't peel them here!). Next course is soup at a stall that has been there for 12 generations. I asked Toan about the tax system when all the markets are cash businesses. He says they are taxed daily by Government officials, they may get a receipt for two days then no receipt - corruption is alive and well. Last stop is a cafe where local musicians play and dessert is enjoyed. Having not adjusted to local time some are nodding off so home we go for a good rest. Farewells are said to Toan and one never knows we may catch up with him again. Sunday arrives and shopping is done, many making purchases for their grandchildren - the clothes are beautiful and so cheap to us. Listening to others who are on the same cruise they are talking about Aussies who have set up a shop in Saigon called Kanga Coffee, their coffee is very different here.

The organisation was set up by a group of people, mainly women, who enjoy doing things with their hands and have a lot of skills and value to share. All members are volunteers and the shop is currently operating to remain sustainable but will be looking to begin donating money to the community once it becomes feasible. What began as about a dozen people donating their time and skills has now become a flourishing group of just under 30 volunteers. President of Made in the Monaro Elizabeth Apps said the shop aims to utilise the different skills of community members to create a range of unique products for sale and lessons for community members. The shop stocks an incredibly vast range of products all made locally, by local people, and where possible using local materials. With Christmas coming up there
ANNUAL is a huge range of gift ideas for people of all tastes. Items include jewellery, pottery, homewares, toys, professionally spun wool grown locally, baby clothes and accessories, winter woolies, clothes, quilts, cards and candles. The shop also takes orders for anything handcraft related. Lessons from highly skilled local craftspeople are also available for $25 for a half day. Crochet, spinning, knitting, weaving and card making are just a few examples of things that can be learnt in shop. Essentially, if a person wants to learn a craft and it is not too messy, a volunteer from Made in the Monaro will be able to
help, from old fashioned skills to modern things. The shop not only acts as a service to the community but as a meeting place for the craftspeople who donate their time and products. Ms Apps said everyone is friends and the shop provides a fun and friendly environment for people to meet and acts as a meeting point for people who do not get out much. With an incredible range of gift ideas and lessons on offer, Made in the Monaro is the one stop shop for handcrafts in the Cooma region.

From Friday 25 to Monday 28 November, 260 cyclists and their support crews will take part in the 17th annual Hartley Lifecare Ability Cycle Challenge after many months of fundraising. The event raises much needed funds for Hartleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disability support servies. Those living with disability in the Act and Snowy Region will benefit from funds raised through this event which supports children and adults with physical and complex disabilities. The challenge is a teams-based participation cycling event promoting healthy lifestyles and the Snowy Region as a tourist destination. The ride sees participants cover 450km return trip across three days and two stages from Canberra to Charlottes Pass and back. The cyclists and volunteer crew are helping to raise funds to improve respite and accommodation facilities for people living with disability in our region. Currently in the ACT there is a major shortage of suitable housing and in particular there are insufficient respite facilities. In 2015 participants in this annual event raised an incredible $513,000 and the foundation is asking the public to once more get behind the event. To donate or find out more visit the website https://www.everydayhero.com.au/event/ Paul Crake, Empire State Building stair climb champion and Australian representative at five World Mountain Running Championships and the Road Cycling World Championships, will be back as a Ride Coordinator and guest speaker for the event. Ten years ago, on a stretch of road from Lumsden to Te Anau in northern Southland, a strong wind gust changed Paul Crakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, only 2km away from finishing a stage in New Zealandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier road cycling race, the tour of Southland. As the riders closed in on Lumsden, Crake was caught in a wind gust and blown down a bank. His back hit a fencepost and he lost consciousness for four to five minutes. When he regained consciousness, the reality of what had just happened started to kick Crake was paralysed from the sternum down and it quickly become evident he would probably never walk again. Crake started his own business, Total Ability, and is now the Australian importer for disability driving aids made in Italy by Fadiel ItalianaI can actually say I feel like I am achieving something and that is important to me. I thrive on finishing the day feeling like I have achieved something and feeling satisfied,â&#x20AC;? he said. Hartley Lifecare has supporting people living with disability for more than 50 years. Whilst disabilities change lives forever they do not have to stop life or end the quality of life.

Lake Crackenback all smiles for tourism awards Lake Crackenback Resort and Spa will be hoping to be crowned state winners when they attend this week’s NSW Tourism Awards in Sydney. Lake Crackenback Resort is a finalist in the Deluxe Accommodation category at the industry leading gala event being held in Luna Park on Thursday night. Tourism operators from across NSW will converge on the awards night with Lake Crackenback Resort up against some of the best accommodation providers in the state. Recognised for their excellence in delivering deluxe accommodation, Lake Crackenback Resort and Spa, general manager Anthony Clearly said his team was thrilled when they heard of their selection as a finalist in the NSW Tourism Awards. “We are so proud of the Resort and its achievements to date. There is a fantastic team of staff attributed to the Resort’s success along with dedicated owners passionate about the Resort and the region,” Mr Clearly said.
Jindabyne drama students excel
L CA LO
This is not the first time that the JCS drama department has had students nominated for the performance, with two students receiving nominations for individual monologues in 2015. In 2014, a group of JCS students did perform at ‘On Stage’ with a performance called Christmas Island, making this the third year in a row that JCS has had students nominated. The drama department is relatively young having started when the school formed their secondary department 10 years ago. In that time, they have established a strong involvement with the community and have acquired a great working space and resources. The department lends its lighting equipment to community
events such as Ms Jenny’s Dance Performance and Jindy Idol. The drama and music departments work together to put on performances such as school plays and the practical nature of the classes teaches students valuable skills to set them up for their future. “They can use their experience with lighting to work to pay for uni. With musicians, the drama experience also gives them the confidence to create shows,” Ms Brown said. “It’s really strong, the creative arts and performing at the school.” The school is currently in the process of building a new gym with the hope that the larger facility will provide the ability for large scale drama performances.

Three girls from the Jindabyne Central School (JCS) drama department have been nominated to perform at the ‘On Stage’ which is a performance for exemplary group performances or individual monologues. Rachel Hukins, Bronwyn Brandon and Tanaha Hughes were nominated for their performance of ‘Sheezus’ which they wrote and directed themselves as part of their HSC drama project. Unfortunately they were not successful with their nomination as only 12 performances will take part on the night. JCS drama teacher Rachael Brown said just to be nominated itself is an incredible achievement with students required rank in the top percentile in the HSC to be considered.
“We are thrilled to be selected as a finalist in the Deluxe Accommodation category.” Now in their 27th year, the awards celebrate and acknowledge tourism businesses demonstrating outstanding achievement and success throughout the year. The awards are a submission and inspectionbased program and provide the opportunity to publicly recognise and showcase the state’s finest tourism operators. “The Snowy Mountains offers so much in both summer and winter and we feel privileged to be able to showcase the destination through our resort,” Mr Clearly said. Mr Clearly will represent Lake Crackenback Resort at the awards event. The awards have 29 categories across the industry including: Attractions, festivals and events, ecotourism, tour and transport operators, marketing and accommodation, and outstanding contribution from an individual.

Koalas to be better protected TAFE students show off their skills under improved policy to conserve habitat One of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most iconic native animals, the koala, will be better protected under an improved policy proposed by the NSW Government that will conserve their natural habitat. A NSW Department of Planning and Environment spokesperson said proposed updates to the State Environmental Planning Policy 44 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Koala Habitat Protection, will better conserve and manage vegetation that provides habitat for koalas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Koalas are one of our most recognisable and iconic native animals and what this change will do is better preserve areas that are vital to their survival,â&#x20AC;? the spokesperson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the first step in improving the structure and effectiveness of the State policy and will inform a more comprehensive review of koala habitat protection.â&#x20AC;? The Department is updating the policy to assist councils to preserve koala habitat and also simplifying the planning system to make it easier for people to use. Councils are an important part in managing the local environment and the proposed updates will support them in the preparation of management plans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will simplify the assessment process for development applications situated in areas not covered by a
management plan and ensure the consistent use of criteria to protect koala habitat across NSW,â&#x20AC;? the spokesperson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Department has worked with councils and key non-government organisations including koala protection groups, to inform these proposed updates.â&#x20AC;? The update of the policy will: â&#x20AC;˘ Assist councils to prepare comprehensive plans of management â&#x20AC;˘ Make it clearer to assess proposals that may impact on koala habitat â&#x20AC;˘ Update the content of the policy, including the names of the councils to which it applies, the list of tree species and the definitions of koala habitat â&#x20AC;˘ Ensure koala habitat is considered early in the strategic planning process The program is part of the NSW Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to create an easy to use planning system that effectively addresses matters of state and regional significance. Submissions on the proposed updates to the State policy on koala habitat protection can be made until 16 December 2016. Further information can be found at www. planning.nsw.gov.au/Koala-habitat

Where has the Jindabyne Library gone? The failure of the Snowy Mountains Neighbourhood Centre located in Jindabyne to receive funding through the Snowy Monaro Community Grants Program has raised concerns among some committee members about its future. With the memory of the struggle two years ago to maintain funding still fresh in their minds, a hot topic with some
committee members is the importance placed on the Centre by the new Snowy Monaro Regional Council. In the days of the Snowy River Shire Council, the Neighbourhood Centre was seen as a priority and important local resource. In 2014, the Council commissioned a report on a library review. There was a strong level of community support in

Nursing study tour Antje Badger and Kylie Chenery have recently returned from an nursing study tour of the UK. The tour took place from August 24 to September 6 with the main objectives being to learn from key teams in the UK about quality sytems, practice development, person centred care, engaging teams, cultural change including communication within teams, transformational leadership and staffing. While on the tour, the Cooma based nurses learnt many new skills and techniques which they will be looking to adopt for Cooma hospital. They also said they found it reassuring that many of the big hospitals internationally were using similar procedures to what they use in Cooma. They visited the Foundation of Nursing Studies, Eastbourne Hospital, NHS Scotland, Royal Infirmary Edinburgh, The Borders General hospital, Victoria Hospital (Kirk Carny) and attended the Enhancing Practice Conference at the Queen Margaret University where both attendees presented at the conference. “We went to learn from other people and organisations and see how other people developed models of care and how they practise. It was really enlightening to see that we’re all doing the same job but how we can do it differently and improve,” Ms Badger said. One of the major ideas to come out of the tour was a ‘you said –we did’ approach to dealing with suggestions. Ms Badger said the hospital will work towards having more meaningful conversations with staff and patients and show transparency with feedback. Ms Badger and Ms Chenery also mentioned the advanced technology they saw when touring, particularly a device with the capacity for early warning systems which is connected to a pager for in the moment feedback.
Following the tour Cooma hospital will also aim to improve signage and make the hospital more welcoming. Already, the hospital partners with the Raglan Gallery to provide artwork in the renal unit on a rotating basis to make the space warmer and more inviting. Ms Chenery said another major focus of the tour was the implementation of patient centred care, focusing on patients and their personal history rather than just their symptoms. She said the experience was beneficial and they benefitted from education and networking. ”We’re very fortunate we got to see some really good ideas across the seven categories. We heard from world leaders in Foundations of Nursing Studies and got to meet with academics and people from around,” she said.

It took over 100,000 workers twenty-five years of hard slog in the worst possible conditions to build the mighty Snowy Scheme. That much we know. But to hollow out mountains of granite took a fair bit more than that. It took 110%. And we believe that’s as important today as it was then. That’s why at Red Energy, an all-Australian company owned by Snowy Hydro, we think the people of the Snowy Region deserve fair prices, genuine discounts and local award winning customer service.

Our seniors donate to Cooma hospital auxiliary The Senior Citizens Club donated $1000 to the Cooma Hospital Auxiliary. Club President Judy Costello presented the cheque to Auxiliary President Lorraine McGregor last week. “This cheque will go towards both a CTG machine for the maternity unit and a paediatric audiometer,” said Lorraine. “The community is so generous towards the
Auxiliary, and we are so grateful for groups like the Senior Citizens Club for their generous donations.” The Senior Citizens Club, through various fundraising projects, collected the money over the last 12 months. “We are thrilled to present the Auxiliary with this cheque today, and hope that it will be useful to them in their work supporting the hospital,” said Judy.

Government ‘s new GP grants program Australian rural doctors are welcoming the announcement of a streamlined Rural General Practice Grants (RGPG) program, just announced by Dr David Gillespie, Assistant Minister for Rural Health. Dr Ewen McPhee, President of the Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA), said that the announcement was a reflection of the importance the Coalition Government places on rural and remote health care. “We are extremely pleased that Minister Gillespie has been so proactive in his Rural Health portfolio, and he has shown a great understanding of the need for increased training facilities to enable the education of the next generation of rural doctors,” Dr McPhee said. “The RGPG will allow more of our highly skilled doctors in rural areas to improve their training capacity, allowing them to take on more young doctors in training and ensure they have access to quality educational opportunities in rural areas. “Research shows us that young doctors who undertake training in rural areas, and have a good experience in their placement, are more likely to choose rural medicine as a career. “Grants enabling doctors to improve and expand their training facilities will play a key role in the recruitment and retention of the rural doctor workforce of the future,” Dr McPhee said. While infrastructure
grants have been available for rural practices for some time, the application process was onerous, complicated and time consuming, putting it out of the reach of many small practices who did not have the time or expertise to successfully apply. Grants can be used for a range of projects, including construction, fit-out and/or renovation of an existing general practice building, supply and installation of information and communication technology equipment or medical equipment. “Simplifying and streamlining the process will ensure that these smaller clinics will no longer be disadvantaged by the system,” Dr McPhee said. “Many doctors enjoy the opportunity to engage with young doctors and be a part of their training journey. We look forward to more of our colleagues being able to participate in this way thanks to the Coalition’s commitment to rural health. “Improved training facilities, such as communication technology, will also ensure that rural doctors can increase their own training opportunities, so they can continue to keep their skills current and maintain their practice at the high level that they strive for and that rural communities deserve. “We thank Minister Gillespie for his recognition of the importance of this area.”

Salvos Christmas Auction has some hide The Cooma Salvation Army has been given a headline item to bolster their Christmas Appeal with the hide of a Scottish Highland Cow donated to the cause. Money raised through the silent auction of the hide is set to be directed into the Christmas Appeal where food hampers and children’s toys will be given to families in need this festive season. The impressive tanned hide has been generously donated by the Bartlett family, from Teaglach Highlands at Rose Valley.
The Bartletts have joined forces with the Salvation Army to help brighten the spirits of many local families who will be doing it tough this Christmas. Cooma Salvation Army captain, Louise Nicholson, said she the organisation is very fortunate to have people, like the Bartletts, helping boost the Christmas Appeal. “It’s very generous and appreciated. We’ll put the money raised from the hide back into our Christmas Appeal to,” captain Nicholson said.
The community is being encouraged to register their bids for the tanned hide, a piece perfect for either a Christmas gift or a new addition to your home. Valued at about $700, the hide has a reserve price of $500 on it. To register, captain Nicholson asks that people send their bid via the post to PO Box 85, Cooma Post Office, Cooma 2630. Local company Monaro Freight has also helped with the appeal, providing free transport for the hide to be tanned in Victoria.

Steve Ricketts - living his Victorian dream It could easily be the 1890s. Steve Rickett’s decked out in his finest top hat and tails, the sunlight streams into the elegant sitting room. Surrounded by the finest furniture and architecture from the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, Steve is right at home amidst this Victorian-era setting. A love for the Victorian period and all the grandeur it encapsulates, made Burnima Homestead, Steve ideal residence. In 2002, Steve took over Burnima Homestead, a home regarded as the one of the region’s most impressive structures. Located 10km north of Bombala, Steve’s imagination was captured the moment he saw the home. Burnima was built by Henry Tollemache Edwards (or HT as affectionately Steve refers to him) in 1896 and since then has only had four owners. Living in and maintaining the home to its original condition would prove difficult for most. But not for Steve. He has fallen in love with the home and Burnima’s complex and mysterious history. “I love gardens and antiques. I’m in my element and glory here,” Steve said. “The fact I can partially live this Victorian period is very rare, not many people can do it. “Most afternoons I’ll put my top hat and tails on and walk around the garden.” Steve’s hard work has meant the public can enjoy tours of Burnima with hundreds visiting each year from across the country. No parts of this Victorian masterpiece are off limits, unlike many other homes of a similar vintage. Steve takes great pride ensuring the home is run as a working Victorian homestead, continuing the traditions of the Edwards family who ran the home in full working order until 1952. Built amongst seven acres of sprawling gardens, HT left the home to his eldest daughter, Ms Edith Edwards. Despite never marrying, Ms Edwards continued running the homestead and with up to 10 servants at her disposal the home operated in full working condition. Ms Edwards legacy and dedication to the home
has been kept alive through Steve’s enduring efforts. As he makes his way through the home, he says he often feels Ms Edwards watching, and hopes she would be proud of the state Burnima is still kept in. “I do feel a strong connection with Ms Edwards. We both love gardens and the Victorian period.” “I want to leave my mark, and years down the track people may remember my efforts like Ms Edwards.” “I’m a stickler for formality, I’m dressed like a servant at the moment so I stay here in the servants quarters.” The home brims with history and hidden secrets, and over the years it has become a must for those seeking a paranormal experience. Just recently a tour group from the Far South Coast reported a sighting of female, that upon further inspection fitted the description of a servant who worked at the home in the early parts of last century. Steve’s has had his own encounters with a former male servant at Burnima while Ms Edwards has been spotted twice. Steve’s passion for Burnima and preserving this important part of national history, is set to see his love for the home continue for many years to come. Living in an 1890s home, and keeping its traditions alive, have become Steve’s way of life. Born and raised in Cootamundra, Steve longed for a return to rural life whilst he was working in Canberra. The return was perhaps, more drastic than Steve or his family would have envisaged. “When you come from a humble background you learn to work your butt off. I worked my way to where I am. I always wanted to come back to the country and when I saw Burnima I fell in love with it,” Steve says. “My family thought I was mad.” With his top hat and tails on, Steve Rickett, makes his way into the lush Burnima gardens. He is living his Victorian dream.

Competitors have travelled from far and wide, as well as from interstate to attend. Three individual shows are held, as well as Obedience Trials and RallyO competitions. The Show competition is for pedigreed dogs of all types and sizes. If you were interested in seeing some purebred dogs, to help choose your next companion, then this is great way to do it. The Dog Club
members are very happy to help you and can give some expert advice in a number of breeds. It is part of the Club’s mandate to help people to understand more fully our four legged friends. We encourage all interested members of the public to come and enjoy the shows. It is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to watch and learn (and pat, if you ask nicely!) about purebred dogs and the large number of different pure breeds that are being bred and shown in Australia. In addition there will be a number of vendors selling products on site, with a
range of doggy related goodies, including toys, leads, collars and coats available for everyone to purchase. 'There are three distinct ways you can observe people interacting with their dogs.

Graeme Barrow, God’s Architect: The churches and parsonages of Alberto Soares, Dagraja Press, Canberra, 2016; RRP $24.95 God’s Architect tells the story of Alberto Soares, who was born in London in 1830 and trained as a civil engineer with a strong interest in the arts. In 1852 he came to Australia with his younger brother Gualter to seek their fortunes, but when neither brother could find suitable employment they turned their attention to religion and both became ordained priests of the Church of England. In 1857 Alberto was appointed rector of Queanbeyan, where he remained until 1877. Bishop Messac Thomas of Goulburn was delighted to find that he had a clergyman who, although not trained as an architect, was capable of designing a church or parsonage. Rev Soares soon became the Bishop’s “honorary architect” and by 1859 he had designed a new Christ Church for Queanbeyan – now generally considered to be his finest building. Then from the 1860s to the 1890s, he designed many churches and other buildings to be erected throughout the far-
flung diocese which in those days stretched from Goulburn to the Riverina. Eighteen churches are featured in this book (there were others). Two of his churches are located on Monaro – St Paul’s church, Cooma (1869), and St James’s church, Boloco (1872). The author hesitates “to call ... any of Alberto’s churches beautiful although several are eye-catching”. But both St Paul’s and St James’s are delightfully situated, fine English-looking churches. St Paul’s in particular, sited at the top of the hill with its beautiful spire soaring heavenward, is as striking as any in the book. (The spire was built later and is not to Rev Soares’s original design.) Rev Soares appears to have considered a church incomplete without a spire. When his brother Rev Gualter Soares was rector of Gegedzerick (Berridale) in 1879-1881, it seems he even suggested plans for putting a timber spire on St Mary’s miniscule church of 1860. (This is not mentioned in the book; the proposed spire was never erected although a sketch for it still exists.) The author was bemused to see a fireplace in the church at Boloco, but older readers may remember that there was
also a fireplace in lovely little St Andrew’s church, Jindabyne (now sadly under the lake). All Saints church at Berridale (1909) also has a fireplace in the vestry. The author was also surprised to find that St Paul’s is “a rarity among churches in that it is left open during the day”. But in fact a number of Monaro churches have traditionally been left unlocked despite thefts and vandalism in recent years. Even the isolated, historic churches at Round Plain and Gegedzerick are usually unlocked and St James’s at Boloco is often accessible despite security measures. This says much about the time-honoured role of churches on the Monaro and is, it seems, yet another instance of the uniqueness of our part of the world. The book includes many anecdotes about the various churches as well as their backgrounds and histories. Anyone who enjoys travelling around the region is likely to find it very entertaining. (The writer of this review feels he should declare a possible personal bias. His great great grandfather David Scarlett was one of the builders of St Paul’s church; however he is pretty sure this has not influenced his judgment of the building.)

MEF helping our youth get a tertiary education The Monaro Education Foundation (MEF) was established to provide much needed financial assistance and support to local youth to help them achieve their post high school education, training and vocation aspirations. The foundation has been running since 2003 and has provided funding to over 130 young people from the community. Applications for funding are now open and grants are available to peopled aged 16-25 who have lived and attended school in the region for the majority of their high school years. MEF supports a diverse range of education and career pursuits including apprenticeships, traineeships, cadetships, degrees, diplomas and certificate level studies or entry careers not just university. Applications for MEF assistance can be made at the website http://engage.cef.org. au/directory/foundation/28/monaro Lauren and Emily Stewart are two recipients of MEF funding and the girls, as well as their mother Mary, say the assistance has been very welcome. “The Monaro Education Foundation provides financial assistance to many youth in rural areas who are wanting extend their education. Leaving high school and moving onto a new educational direction can be a daunting, overwhelming yet exciting experience. Receiving support from MEF can relief stress and financial pressure during a new stage of transition. MEF is investing in rural youth and in turn are investing in all our futures. I would like to thank present and past committees member and those individuals and businesses who have been so generous in contributing to the foundation. The Monaro area is extremely lucky to have a support network like the Monaro Education Foundation that places a high value on the educational needs of local youth,” Mary said. Lauren attended school locally and is
pursuing further studies at university. She has detailed some of her achievements so far and spoke about how the funding has assisted her personally. “My name is Lauren Stewart I am 20 years old. I have just finished my third year of my bachelor of laws at the University of Canberra. As well as completing the final year of my degree, I will be doing honours next year. “I started my law degree and moved on residence at age 17. Having the MEF grant helped ease the financial pressure of moving to a new place. The grant was very helpful during the first few months of my degree, giving me time to settle before looking for work in Canberra. I was able to pay rent, buy textbooks, pay internet and admission fees with the grant. To know that my local community took an interest in me and my future is a wonderful feeling. I felt encouraged, supported and that there was an opportunity for mentoring if I needed it. The MEF members and their wider connections offered advice through their own knowledge and experience. A wonderful gift to share with youth as they strive to build bright futures. “In 2015 I joined the Isaacs Law Society Committee which is the representative body for all Law and justice studies students at the University of Canberra. I was first involved as Careers director, moved to the position of Secretary and then became the 2016 Vice President. My role at the law society involved student advocacy, professional networking, educational seminars, academic competitions and social events. Through Isaacs Law Society I was able to travel to Hobart for a week to attend the annual Australian Law Students Association (ALSA) conference where I got the opportunity to meet law students and legal professionals from across Australia as well as Asia and New Zealand. I made many friends and professional
connections through my involvement with Isaacs Law Society and thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent on the Committee. “In addition to volunteering for the Isaacs Law Society, I volunteered as a mentor for Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience in 2015 and 2016 where I got to mentor local Indigenous youth. This was an amazing experience. “I’m currently working various jobs at the Uni, my main role being an academic support ‘Rover’. In my role as a Rover I provide academic assistance to all University of Canberra students. This role mostly involves providing assistance in the form of assignment writing, research, referencing, and general IT help. Through this role I have acquired great problem solving skills, as it is required that I provide support to students from a variety of degrees. I have also developed exceptional interpersonal skills as this job involves interacting with and explaining complex issues to international students, who usually don’t speak English as a first language. I have also worked as a disability note taker, refugee tutor and Ressie Rover at the uni. “I received the Deans Excellence Award in semester two 2014 and 2015 for getting a grade point average of 6.5 in my studies. This year I was also invited to become a member of the Golden Key International Honours Society. “I would like to take this opportunity to thank the MEF for all of its support over the past few years. I am very grateful to have received the grants and encourage all school leavers to apply.” Emily is currently studying at the Australian National University and has spoken about how the Foundation has assisted her during this period. “I was fortunate enough to receive a grant from the Monaro Education
Foundation in my first year at university. I had begun studying a Bachelor of Arts at the Australian National University and moved away from home to complete these studies. The funding I received from MEF gave me the financial security as I transitioned into this unfamiliar and exciting time in my life. Moving away from home gave me a new level of independence, including financial, however, this did not happen overnight. The MEF grant I received allowed me to pay for textbooks and rent, providing me with peace of mind as I looked for part-time work and began to study. “Since beginning university I have been give so many opportunities to learn and grow in my field of research. I transitioned into a Bachelor of Art History and Curatorship in my second year, where I was given the opportunity to travel overseas to undertake coursework. I travelled to Turkey to study ancient history and I also studied Buddhist art in Myanmar. Over this past year I have also undertaken an honours year where I was an intern in the Learning and Access department at the National Gallery of Australia. During this year I gained valuable professional experience in a museum and wrote a thesis on first millennium Buddhist art of Myanmar. University has been an extremely exciting time and I look forward to the future as I begin life after university. “I am extremely grateful to the Monaro Education Foundation and all the people that support this organisation. Undertaking any form of education after high school can be a nerve-wracking experience, however, it is comforting to know oganisation like the MEF are here to support those who wish to do so.” Pictured Emily and Lauren Stewart.

Last Thursday 42 Bombala Public School students in years 3 and 4 rose early and set off to Canberra for a very exciting, two-day overnight adventure in our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital. Our first stop was to Mount Stromlo Observatory where we were informed by three of ANUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top astronomers about space, stars and our solar system. Students rotated through 3 groups led by the scientists to learn about relative size and mass of the planets, how the planets are kept in place by orbiting and the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gravity and the nature of meteorites and measuring their impact on the Earth. We learned about space junk, satellites and the life span of stars! We even met a scientist who detects space junk and meteorites in our atmosphere and has to use lasers to shoot them down before they can impact our planet. Students listened and asked intelligent questions and enjoyed this interactive and informative experience. Next we travelled to the Australian War Memorial. We experienced simulations of the bridge of the HMAS Brisbane and a helicopter landing troops in Vietnam. Many students had researched family connections to soldiers and placed a poppy on the Roll of Honour. We visited the Hall of Memory and the hallowed Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier. This was a powerful and solemn place which the students marked with respect and silence. After a quick lunch we met Rachael Tallent (sister to
Jared), a 20km walker and Rio Olympian. Rachael guided us through the Australian Institute of Sport where we saw the gymnastics hall, swimming pool, volleyball courts and the AIS arena. We learned about the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volley ball team being the tallest athletes at an average height of over 200cm, the training schedules, feats of strength and athleticism and what life is like for our Australian sportsmen and women. We then had half an hour of fun at the AISâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sportex program (sport experience). Students climbed, jumped, recorded reaction times, balanced, slalomed and simulated soccer, the downhill

luge, cycling, skiing, rowing and basketball skills. Students relished the opportunity to engage in these activities and were all smiles and action. We then found our lodging at the Canberra Bush Capital Lodge. Students had to settle into their rooms and make their beds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a first for some! We had a delicious dinner of stir-fry and apple crumble for desert before we headed off to Sky Zone for an hour of high action trampolining, foam-pit and dodge ball fun. Wow! After such a huge day it was time for showers, night-time games and bed. Lots of very tired children settled down to get ready for another big day. A sunny Friday dawned
and we dressed, packed up our beds and belongings and headed to the dining hall for a wonderful breakfast of cereal, toast, fruit and yogurt, sausages and tomatoes, and the favourite â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pancakes! After packing our bags into the bus we drove to the Australian National Botanic Gardens. We strolled through the rainforest gully, the water dragon falls, the red centre environment and then back to the visitors centre for a wellearned stop. While driving to our next venue, we remembered our soldiers by pausing in silence for The Last Post and Reveille broadcast on the bus and then ate our lunch in the shady grounds of St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Our guides Barbara and Joan talked about school-life in the 1840s as well as some of the significant people and events of Canberraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. Children dressed up in farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s caps, bonnets and pinafores, wrote on real slates and experienced a taste of life as a school student 170 years ago. On our way home, we stopped for a snack and a play at the Pod Park in the National Arboretum before heading home. The excursion was a wonderful time full of experiences, fun, learning and activity. The students were wellbehaved and earned comments from guides that praised their attentiveness and behaviour. Well done everyone and a big thank you to staff for helping the trip be as enjoyable as it was. A well-earned, restful weekend for all.

Contact Group Monthly Report – October 2016 The focus for Contact Group activities in October was the annual Bombala Community Services Activity Groups Street Stall. The craft projects undertaken provided items for sale and everyone engaged in preparations with enthusiasm. The hard work paid off with the street stall providing another successful fundraiser for the groups. The highlight of the month was a visit from Bombala High School students
involved in the Links to Learning unique Drum Beat program. The boys brought their drums and other percussion instruments to demonstrate the concepts and learning process created by this program. Their presentation also involved working in smaller groups with those attending the session. A sausage sizzle followed which was enjoyed by all. It was a very successful and wonderful day for everyone involved. It is anticipated that
collaboration with the high school will ensure more visits from students in the future. For more information regarding Contact Group activities contact Bombala Community Services – Phone 6458 4620. The Contact Group is supported by financial assistance from the Australian and NSW Governments.

In 10 days time, it is the Cooma races turn. Organisers are hoping for just the right amount of moisture from above to soften the track…a bit. Let’s not get carried away, Huey! Recently, Aunty ABC has been inviting us to ‘go online’ and complete a survey about what we want to see or hear from our national broadcaster.
and how the hospital is looking to implement new strategies. Ms Badger said the hospital is committed to enhancing patient care, and discussed how visiting some of Scotland’s hospitals will lead to change here in Cooma. The next Probus meeting is on Wednesday, December 4.
The Postman tried, but couldn’t find the link to have his say. So here it is – while it is probably very interesting for folk in Bega and Eurobodalla Shires to hear what their fellow ratepayers are up to, for us on the western side of the Great Divide, its not so imperative. The ‘Story Box’ seems to be locked onto the coastal side of the range and ABC listeners will probably hear the life story of absolutely every person who lives anywhere from Eden to Bateman’s Bay and beyond. It would be really, really nice if that segment could be shortened, so that the really important things, like funeral notices, could be broadcast as well. If only we could get into the on-line survey to make the comment…

Kelly criticises Baird Govt Why should the community have to wait another 11 months for council elections when it is clear that they are unhappy with the merged councils being run by people who they didn’t vote for? As a result of the Orange By-election we have seen the National Party fall into disarray. Now that John Barilaro is the new National’s leader, he needs to step up and fight the Sydney-centric Baird government for fairer outcomes in rural and regional Australia. To start with he should listen to the people of his region and act swiftly to bring forward council elections. Mike Kelly Member for Eden-Monaro

Darned if I know! All I know is that I’m nervous wreck in case a) she frets for Mummy and Daddy b) something goes wrong c) something else goes wrong or d) everything goes really wrong! Not that I’m expecting anything of the sort to be honest but, it is at the back of my mind. Ridiculous, I know. I mean, I’ve had the crash course in how to operate the machine that prepares the bottle of formula to the exact temperature in like, half a minute (where was this wonderful gadget when mine were babies!) plus the other crash course on how to operate the bottle sterilising unit (also wonderful) and I even took spot notes just to set everyone’s mind at rest. It all looks like smooth sailing doesn’t it? So why am I having palpitations and things??? I think it goes back to that First grandchild thingy. They are more precious than gold and as a result, you find you have a sense of diligence that you can’t remember having with your own kids even though you must have had, after all, you managed to grow them all up in one piece, remember? Maybe it has it’s roots in the years that came after, when they became independent, that you forget just how diligent you were because you’ve had a bit of a break from having little ones around that you’re always keeping an eye on. That could be it. In fact, it sounds like the most logical explanation to me. So that has to be it, right? I need to stop with the psyching thingy.
At the time of writing, I am psyching myself up for having Granddaughter for three days (and two nights) while Daughter and Son-in-law are in Wollongong. From tomorrow (Monday) morning until Wednesday (today) afternoon I will have her all to myself and am so looking forward to it. She’s three and a half months old and as cute as. But why the psyche-up? Did I manage okay with raising my own kids without any probs? Well, yes. Did they all survive to adulthood? Yes, again. So am I an old hand at looking after babies? Well duh! So am I feeling all nervous and apprehensive about having total care of Granddaughter for a short stretch? Am I ever! But I have no idea why??? Apparently though, this is not uncommon with first-time grandparents facing minding the first grandchild. But why is that when we already know the ropes? I can’t remember feeling this nervous when my own were babies and besides, I have everything set up. There’s the cute little cot painted up in candy colours which Granddaughter appears to really like and the guestroom where it’s set up is light and bright and airy. The bed in the guestroom is comfortable, which is nice because that’s where I’ll be sleeping so I am only a couple of metres away from her in case she wakes in the night. She has been here a number of times anyway so I’m not a stranger to her and she is familiar with the room and the house so…what is the problem???

Editor, “If the results of the Orange By-election tell us anything, it is that rural and regional people in NSW do not accept the forced mergers of their councils or the handpicked council administrators who have been appointed by the NSW government. “The result of the Baird Government’s council mergers is the stripping away of democracy from our community. Instead of having a number of elected councillors representing the community, all we have is unelected administrators. It does not sit well with me or the community that decisions at the council level across our region are being made without the support of democratically elected councils. The NSW government must bring the council elections forward to March 2017.

Rats invade Berridale Public school
No, not real rats! Last Wednesday November 16, students of Berridale Public School with the assistance of Mrs Sarah Wall, held two performances of RATS. Utilising the storyline of the Pied Piper and the town of Hamelin, students had everyone entertained with their singing, dancing and acting of the scenes. The Berridale Hall was full of proud family and community
members cheering them along and laughing at their jokes. Special thanks to Jane Taylor, Peter Richards and Sarah Wall for all their assistance with props and music.

Colour Me Grubby at Cooma North Preschool The cool weather didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deter over 50 children from getting muddy, wet and sprayed with colour at Cooma North Preschoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Colour Me Grubby event on Sunday, November 13. They tackled over 10 obstacles including: Commando crawling through sand, navigating a muddy course through the cave, catching ducks in the creek bed, entering the pool noodle waterfall, walking the plank from the Preschool boat into a pool of colour, sliding their way across a very slippery surface, wobbling on the wobble mat and aiming water filled balloons at targets of their favourite preschool teachers and educators. While they were
making their way around the course they were being sprayed with colour from all sides! What great fun was had by all, with children lining up again and again to have another turn. The Preschool staff would like to thank the Committee and parent helpers who assisted setting up on the Saturday and around the course, or running the BBQ on the day. The preschool was also helped on the day by five members of the Monaro High School Leo Club who did a fantastic job walking the course with the children and helping them over the obstacles. The Preschool wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to run these events without their sponsors,

Amalgamation process ‘more shambolic’ The Baird Government’s council amalgamation process has become even more shambolic, with concerns some communities may not see a return of local democracy before 2020. Local Government NSW President Keith Rhoades said the councils most likely to be impacted were outraged over the latest circular issued by the Office of Local Government (OLG). “OLG’s circular states that councils with mergers still pending – essentially those who challenged their amalgamation in court – are required by the Local Government Act to hold an election, probably in September 2017. “But they go on to say that if these councils have not been amalgamated by the end of this month, they can’t hold an election before March 2018. “And if a forced amalgamation occurs after August 2017, the election can’t be held before September 2019. “That means these particular councils could be denied local democracy for up to two years.” Cr Rhoades said the circular sought to justify the delay by blaming it on the need to avoid any conflict with the State Government election, scheduled for March 2019. “But wait – it gets even more shambolic,” he said. “The OLG then says that elections for these particular
councils might be better held in September 2020 – a three-year denial of voter’s right to elect their own council. “They say the delay will ‘reduce the potential for voter confusion and additional cost’, but I wouldn’t be worrying too much about voter confusion,” Cr Rhoades said. “As we’ve just seen in the Orange by-election, voters are anything but confused about this Government and council amalgamations. “Perhaps it’s more a case of extending the timeframe past the 2019 State election in the hope that voters in the council areas don’t take their anger out on the LiberalNational Government the same way they did on the National Party in Orange.” Cr Rhoades said the circular was conveniently released by the Government as the sun went down on Friday afternoon. “It isn’t the first time they’ve done this sort of thing, with the Government’s merger announcement in December last year made just hours before the government shutdown for two weeks over Christmas,” he said. ”It’s another clumsy attempt to slip this further denial of democracy through quietly, but the people of NSW are awake to the Government’s tricks.”

Website recognises history of Aboriginal Trackers The history of Aboriginal Trackers is the focus of a new website and historical display following a joint initiative between NSW Police Force Aboriginal Coordination Team and Native Title Services Corp. The website and historical display will showcase the history of Aboriginal Trackers in NSW, looking at who they were and where they came from, while recognising their unique skills and the pivotal role they played within the NSW Police Force. Assistant Commissioner Geoff McKechnie, APM, corporate sponsor and portfolio holder for Aboriginal relations, said this is a great way for the NSW Police Force to acknowledge the contribution Aboriginal Trackers have made to policing. “This website captures the essence of who these men were; the places they worked and the extraordinary services they performed across the state of NSW. It has taken almost two years to conduct this research and prepare this information,” Assistant Commissioner McKechnie said. “It is a way for the NSW Police Force to recognise the significant role Aboriginal Trackers, or ‘black trackers’ as they were better known, have played in law enforcement since colonisation.” “When we reflect on men like Alec Riley and Frank Williams, the fact they were both awarded the King’s Police Medal, proves how significant their work was,” Assistant Commissioner McKechnie said. The website titled ‘Pathfinders: the History of NSW Aboriginal Trackers’ can be found at: http:// p a t h f i n d e r s n s w. o r g . a u / n s w aboriginal-trackers/ and explores this history of Aboriginal Trackers in NSW from 1862 through to 1973 when the current NSW Police Force was established and the last tracker, Norman Walford, retired. Profile – Alexander Riley Perhaps the best known tracker in NSW is Alexander (or Alec) Riley, who worked, mainly at Dubbo, from 1911 to 1950. His tracking feats were respected by the white and Aboriginal communities, and in 1943 he was awarded the King’s Police and Fire Services Medal for Distinguished conduct. He was also the first tracker to be promoted to the rank of Sergeant. The cases on which he worked are too numerous to mention, but some of the best known include the following. In June 1923 he helped pursue and capture Roy Governor (youngest brother of Jimmy Governor) at Mendooran. Nine years later, Alec took two days to track the murderer of 92-year-old Jack Hewitt who had been battered to death at Gilgandra. On
Christmas Day 1940, he was called in to look for Desmond Clark, a twoyear-old boy who had gone missing from his home at Bugaldie. Alec had definite ideas about where to look but the police called off the search. It was not until seven months later that Riley was recalled to the scene and the boy’s body was found in a wash-away[2]. Tracker Riley is also well known for his role in capturing Albert Moss who murdered three men (William Bartley, Timothy O’Shea and Thomas Robinson) near Brummagen Creek, Narromine, in December 1938 and January 1939. Detective Inspector Matthews praised Tracker Riley’s contribution: “Tracker 1st class Alec Riley, of Dubbo, is probably the most outstanding tracker in the Commonwealth, and his ability is well known throughout the Service. He followed the tracks of a sulky driven by Moss many months before through the hills of Minore, and located his camping place there. He also found articles on Macks Reserve, which were later identified as the property of Timothy O’Shea. He also gave evidence in each of the cases, and is an excellent witness. His work generally throughout the whole of the inquiry was of a very high order” His other duties at the Police station included looking after the horses and collecting prisoners off the train. Alec took the horse drawn “Black Maria” for the latter job. He was dedicated to the job and continued to work on the occasional case for the Dubbo Police after his retirement. Aside from police duties, Alec was a keen footballer and a fine athlete. He coached children in athletics at Dubbo for many years. Alec Riley was born at Nymagee in 1887 to John Riley and Mary Nolan. His parents came from the Lachlan River. Alec said that he learned his tracking skills from the old blacks living on the properties near Nymagee. Family members have said he was also taught by men from Condobolin. He married Ethel Taylor, an Aboriginal woman from Dubbo, at Wellington in 1910 and together they had eight children. One of his children, Allan Riley, married Dorothy May Wright,

the daughter of another tracker, Reuben Wright. While working at Dubbo, Alec lived most of the time on the Talbragar Reserve to the north of town. He continued living there after retirement, saying that he did not wish to face the “rat race” of the town itself. One of the last people to leave the Talbragar Reserve in the late 1960s, Alec Riley died in Dubbo on 29 October 1970. The police gave him full honours at his funeral. Alec Riley is still fondly remembered in Dubbo today. In June 1997, Riley’s grand daughter, Kathy Green, and the Minister for Roads, Carl Scully, opened a cycleway along Macquarie River named in his honour. His family regard the cycleway as a just and timely tribute for a man who did not always receive the recognition he deserved during his lifetime. In 1996, his grandson, Michael Riley, filmed a documentary for the ABC about his life which reconstructed several of his most famous cases. Profile – Frank Williams A contemporary of Alex Riley, Frank Williams was a tracker who also received numerous accolades throughout his career. Williams was born in the country between Gundabooka and Toorale in the 1870s to Edward Williams and an Aboriginal woman named Fanny Hippi. He is associated with the Ngemba speaking peoples south of Bourke. After working as a labourer, he was appointed as the tracker at Dubbo on 1 March 1915, the first year of Riley’s temporary absence of the force. He transferred to Byrock the following year before resigning on 16 May 1919. He re-joined just over 12 months later and was stationed at Byrock until March 1938 when he took up the tracker’s job at Bourke. Another 12 years on the job followed before Williams retired in May 1950, two months before Alex Riley left the force. Frank Williams told his daughter Grace that after his mother died when he about six years old, he “stopped with his grandmother”, who is known only as Maude. He said that they: …used to lie on skins. They used to have like a humpie, built right down, real traditional. He said this ‘walkabout’ that they reckon they used to do, he said they usen’t to. The only time they moved around was when they changed their camps, and that was for cleanness. They would shift around and get fresh ground. Maude, who had “up alongside her nose… a bone needle from a fish”, taught Frank about tracking. She knew how to “sew the possum skins and make little possum skin bags to carry water in”. Grace Williams said that: Dad used to go about with her and she used to show him a lot. She showed him how to
track, so he ended up being a good tracker. A case which Williams received some press coverage at the time was the murder of Robert Whye (aka Bobbie Burns), a ten year old Aboriginal boy, on the banks of the Barwon River near Brewarrina Aboriginal Mission. The culprit was an older Aboriginal man from Brewarrina named Charlie McDonald and Williams was faced with the prospect of tracking his countryman. But his decision was made somewhat easier by the fact that he had strong familial ties to the victim. In June 1906, Frank Williams married Caroline Parker (aka Caroline Whye) at Brewarrina. Caroline was the daughter of Sam Parker of Coopers Creek, South Australia, and Caroline Hilt of Brewarrina, a fluent speaker of the Wailwan dialect of Ngiyampaa. She passed her linguistic knowledge on to her daughter and both were significant informants about Ngiyampaa language and culture for R.H. Mathews. Caroline Hilt’s first marriage was to Alfred Whye, non-Indigenous, and her children to Cooper sometimes carried this surname. The young victim, Robert Whye, was born at Warren in 1919 to George Whye and Jane Francis McIntrye. His maternal grandmother was Caroline Hilt, making Caroline Parker his aunt, and in cultural terms, his mother. Although Charlie McDonald was from Brewarrina, it is not clear how he is related to the other families from the district. In a broad sense, Frank Williams was not stepping outside the bounds of tradition is seeing that McDonald was captured and punished for the murder. Other prominent members of the Brewarrina Aboriginal community were prepared to give evidence against McDonald, including Christy Warraweena (a Ngiyampaa speaker) and John Wilson (a cousin of Frank Williams). Other witnesses were children who were probably playing with Whye when he disappeared. In an interesting twist from the Governor episode, one of the witnesses was Annie Coombes, the daughter of Jack Coombes of Wollar and Lottie Governor (Jimmy and Joe’s sister). Her parents were part of the Wollar community which was removed to Brewarrina Aboriginal Station. They married at Brewarrina in October 1900 while the chase was still on and Annie was born about 10 years later. The following year she married Tom Wellington who was also a witness against McDonald.
The pursuit itself was a difficult one. Rain soon after the murder obliterated most of the tracks, which at one stage led within less than a kilometre of Brewarrina Aboriginal Station. Although not mentioned in the press, Williams was assisted for some of the search by Alex Riley. But it was Williams alone who led the other police to a lonely shearer’s hut on Caringle Station where McDonald was arrested. Convicted of the murder at Dubbo, he was incarcerated in Goulburn Gaol where he passed away in 1928. Family was an important part of Frank Williams’ life and he and Caroline had 12 children and many grandkids. Cecily Hampton recently recalled spending the weekends with her grandfather: I used to go out with grandfather a lot, especially on weekends. On Sundays we’d got out and kill a kangaroo and always bring back the tail. We never brought anything else back, just the tail. Granny would make a big pot of kangaroo tail soup. Oh it was beautiful. I used to always follow grandfather around! He used to sit down out the back and we’d talk about all sorts of things. He would show me how to draw figures in the dirt, things like lizards and frogs, you name it, and he could draw it. Williams was probably taught to track in a similar manner by his grandmother Maude. He was keen to pass the knowledge on: his son Sydney Williams also worked as a tracker. Frank Williams retired in 1950, having been promoted to the rank of Sergeant and given the King’s Medal in 1943.

With a passion for real estate, Luke Tozer is excited to have started working at Fisk and Nagle Cooma as the new Assistant Property Manager. As an investor with a number of properties, Luke has a keen knowledge of the local property market in terms of both sales and rentals. With a huge demand for rental properties at the moment, Luke has already helped fill four rentals in as many days. Having started only one month ago, the team are already impressed with his work ethic and knowledge of the property market. Luke previously worked at the local pet store for almost eight years. He retains his passion for animals and enjoys his time working with them on a day-today basis through his pet sitting.
However looking for a career shift, he obtained his Certificate of Registration in order to increase his chances of employment in real estate. While he was studying, Luke also worked at Cooma H Hardware, which he says has given him a greater understanding of what is required when it comes to property maintenance. Luke is continuing to study in his new position, and is learning even more on the job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am loving my new role here at Fisk and Nagle,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am enjoying being able to speak with owners and tenants every day, and having the opportunity to work with properties in Cooma is great. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a really fantastic team here at Fisk and Nagle, with vacancies filling so quickly, we get in and get the job done.â&#x20AC;?

The 2016 Bombala Bike Show was one of the biggest so far with a record number of events and stalls on hand to celebrate all things fast and furious. The Bombala Showground held this year’s extravaganza where about 1800 people passed through the gates to mark the 25th annual Bombala Bike Show. Locals joined visitors from far and wide for Saturday’s event with the day’s action running from 10am right through till the night. A regular competition for bike show enthusiasts was the Show and Shine which attracted a bumper turnout. The Burn Out Competition, Loudest Bike, and Tyre Toss also proved popular. “The turnout was right up there with
the best we’ve had,” Darren Cotterill, Bombala Bike Show president, said. Mr Cotterill said this year’s line-up of entertainment proved a hit as show goers enjoyed the tunes throughout the day. “The music at the show proved really popular, as did the Burn Out event, which was extremely popular,” Mr Cotterill said. There was fun for the whole family with Flair Riders doing demonstrations throughout the day, classic cars on display, a kids’ zone, a jumping castle, and giant Jenga and Connect Four. Bombala’s Rocky Badewitz claimed the grand prize of the Indian Scout Sixty motorbike.

MLA fights damaging livestock patent applications Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) is fighting two patent applications which threaten the genetic advance of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cattle industry and its international competitiveness. The actions include MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s launch of legal proceedings in the Federal Court of Australia to appeal an Australian Patent Office decision to grant an Australian patent to North American companies Cargill USA and Branhaven LLC over cattle selection methods. MLA regards the application as a bid to patent general discoveries of nature in cattle research â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with the patent so broad that it affects genomic selection for all cattle production traits. Another genomic patent application, by Victorian Government subsidiary company Agriculture Victoria Services Pty Ltd, was opposed by MLA and CSIRO on similar grounds. MLA Managing Director Richard Norton reported on MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions at the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Annual General Meeting in Hahndorf last week, as well as the significant scientific and financial implications for research agencies and the industry if the patents proceed. Mr Norton has now written to MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research partners, the Australian red meat and livestock industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s peak councils and other stakeholders to alert them to MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions and the potential effects of the patent on their own activities. If allowed to proceed to grant,
MLA considers the Cargill/ Branhaven patent will affect the use of most DNA-associated genetic tests in the industry. Cargill USA and Branhaven LLC have licensed only a handful of commercial operators to provide those services on the payment of royalties. At a minimum, MLA believes the granting of the patent will discourage or hamper industry research into understanding the natural genetic makeup of cattle and the continued progress of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national genetic improvement programs. In turn, MLA fears there will be a subsequent impact on farm productivity and ultimately the Australian red meat industry, given the contribution that genetic improvement makes to their international competitiveness. MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investment in genomic research and development â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on behalf of its levy payers and the Australian Government which matches industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research investment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is substantial and currently accounts for approximately 15% of MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total on-farm R&D portfolio. The hearing date for the case will be set down by the Federal Court in 2017.
Background: The Cargill/Branhaven application is titled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Compositions, methods and systems for inferring bovine traitsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and covers â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cattle Selection Methodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The broadest of the claims in the application
encompasses: A method for identifying a trait of a bovine subject from a nucleic acid sample of the bovine subject, comprising identifying in the nucleic acid sample an occurrence of at least three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) wherein the at least three SNPs are associated with the trait, and wherein the at least three SNPs occur in more than one gene and wherein at least one of the SNPs corresponds to approximately 2500 listed SNPs, or within 500,000 or less nucleotides from the listed SNPs. MLA opposed the patent application with the Australian Patent Office because of the potential impact on industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to adopt cattle genomic tools. This was unsuccessful and the Australian Patent Office subsequently allowed the application to proceed on 6 May 2016. MLA has elected to appeal the Patent Officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to the Federal Court. MLA notes that Cargill Australia is not a party to these proceedings and that, through their corporate affairs office, Cargill Australia have been working very constructively with MLA to address our issues around the patent.

Inquiry into the future of water supply for rural and regional NSW An Upper House committee is inquiring into water augmentation in rural and regional New South Wales. General Purpose Standing Committee No. 5 is investigating water demand and supply, the suitability of existing water storages, flood risks and technologies to mitigate flood damage. The committee will also consider the social, economic and environmental aspects of water management practices in New South Wales and elsewhere. The committee has already visited the Menindee Lakes area and held a hearing in Broken Hill. It is also likely to undertake regional trips to the Murrumbidgee, Central West and New England areas next year. The Chair of the committee, the Hon Robert Brown MLC, said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The effective augmentation of water is critical to ensuring the future
economic, social and environmental sustainability of rural and regional areas in New South Wales. We want to ensure that stakeholders are provided with an opportunity to have their say on water management practices around the state, given how vitally important this issue is to local communitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The committee recently extended the closing date for submissions until 31 January 2017. Anyone interested in making a submission can contact the secretariat on (02) 9230 3307 or visit the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s webpage at www.parliament.nsw. gov.au/gpsc5. Additional information about the inquiry is available on the website, including the terms of reference and information about how to make a submission. The committee will report by 27 October 2017.
Schute Bell wool report The wool market continued on from last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final day rally with gains made over both selling days. The reasonably large offering didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to deter the trade with a bonus being the Aussie dollar almost 2 cents weaker against a strengthening US dollar during the course of sales. Up to 40 gains were made by selected categories with nearly all Merino types a minimum of 20 cents dearer. Some Crossbred types came under further downward pressure but were the only pocket of pessimism for the week. 44,431 bales were sold nationally with a passed in rate of 5.8%. Major buyers included Techwool, Tianyu and PJ Morris with the top 4 buyers accounting for 45% of the Merino Fleece offering.
In a common theme of late next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national offering has jumped substantially on the original forecast with in excess of 49,000 expected to be on offer. This did not seem to deter the trade this week, so much so that forward markets especially for 21 micron traded in advance of the physical into the New Year to the tune of up to 25 cents higher than yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s auction close. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a highly unusual scenario but a very positive one. This Weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sales 49,282 bales are expected to be on offer next week with 12,935 in Sydney. Schute Bell, Wool Auctions, Goddard and Monaro Wool are selling on Thursday November. 24

agriculture into the future. The day one program focused on research and development, and included a presentation from Cotton Research Development Corporation R&D Program Manager Jane Trindall, who provided inspiration to delegates by looking back and looking forward. “Despite a 50 per cent fall in agricultural terms of trade since 1960, Australian primary producers – our food and fibre makers – have tripled production and quadrupled the real gross value of their produce,” Trindall said. “Underpinning innovation in Australian agriculture is successful long-term co-investment in research, development, technology transfer and adoption through the Rural Research and Development Corporations,” Trindall said. Cotton grower and delegate Reinder Prins said it was a privilege to attend the summit and that he left with a renewed drive and enthusiasm for advances in the industry. “What I enjoyed most was the opportunity to network with likeminded people from all different aspects of agriculture and from every corner of the country. I also thought that the line-up of speakers was excellent and very well-tailored to the discussions that GrowAg aimed to enable,” Prins said. “The fact that we got to brainstorm in small groups instead of just listening to speakers was great. The format was very interactive which enabled the flow of creativity and enhanced the outcomes. I have already started to utilise some of the contacts I gained at the conference, and it has really reiterated to me how important research and extension is. “The cotton industry was mentioned a few times as being a front runner in this field, with the highest productivity gains of all ag industries in the last 10 years – and I will keep advocating this wherever I can,” Prins said.
“The format of the summit included keynote speakers, a number of breakout sessions and panel discussions, and allowed delegates the opportunity to explore key themes over the three days, and share ideas and information on what’s happening in the ‘real world’ of Australian agriculture,” Prins said. Since the event, delegates have already begun to make changes to the way they approach agriculture using the ideas that came out of GrowAg, including restructuring businesses and seeking out new business opportunities, re-evaluating R&D priorities for farms and the wider ag supply chain, signing up for programs to assist with producer collaboration, arranging for greater cooperation and meetups with one another and sharing a range of online resources. RIRDC is also working with the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources, Research and Development Corporations and agribusiness to progress outcomes from the event and build on its success. Sessions were hosted by presenters from partner organisations including Westpac Agribusiness, Case IH, Coles and the University of New England School of Environmental and Rural Science, NBN Co, the Indigenous Land Corporation and Rimfire Resources; as well as a raft of Research and Development Corporations including the Council of Rural Research and Development Corporations; Cotton Research and Development Corporation; Australian Wool Innovation; Australian Pork Limited; Wine Australia; as well as the Murray Darling Basin Authority; Sheepmeat Council of Australia and GrainGrowers. “The event would not have been possible without these key partners, who were committed to ensuring delegates left with greater understanding, as well as the knowledge and solutions, to improve practices within their industry sectors,” Mr Harvey said.

Market Comment: With a falling AUD, this week’s reasonably large offering had little effect on the market, with the NRI closing 28 cents dearer at 1359 c/kg. Commencing the week in isolation on Tuesday, Melbourne posted a modest 4 cent to set the tone for the week ahead. Sydney and Fremantle joined Melbourne on Wednesday and all three centres opened strongly and continued to strengthen as the sale progressed. Thursday continued the same trend (although Melbourne softened slightly towards its close). During the series most of the merino micron range enjoyed rises c/kg cln
21 Mic AU
of between 20 and 50 cents, with the most pressure on selected pockets in the finer microns. In stark contrast to recent sales it was the lesser types which experienced the greatest gains as buyers attempted to find cheaper alternatives in a rapidly rising market. The skirting market enjoyed gains of 30-50 cents, while crossbreds had mixed results, losing further ground in the 25/26 range whilst recovering in the broader microns. The oddment market didn’t get left behind finishing the week 20 cents dearer. Source: AWEX

The best and brightest of Australian ag’s emerging young leaders gathered from 2123 September at the GrowAg Summit in Albury, NSW. Speaker and panel presentations, as well as the GrowAg highlights videos are now available at www.rirdc. gov.au/growag and on RIRDC’s Youtube channel for all to access. John Harvey, Managing Director of the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC), said the event, an initiative of the Australian Government Department of Agriculture and Water Resources and RIRDC, was a clear success and the insights and information gathered are too valuable not to share. “The event was the first of its kind, and the program was certainly set to challenge traditional views and practices in agriculture – as we encouraged delegates to not only look at innovation – but to consider what they need to do right now to capitalise on developments in technology, smart business and leadership. Anyone interested in Entrepreneurship and Global Agri Opportunities; Technology, Innovation and Education; and Leadership will find then information that we have placed on our website useful.” Mr Harvey said. “GrowAg identified emerging industry leaders for inclusion in the program, and the event heralds a new generation of innovative thinking and problem solving as we looked at challenges that have the potential to disrupt Australian agriculture over the next few years, and inspired delegates to become beneficiaries, rather than victims, of those changes,” Mr Harvey said. The three-day ‘think tank’ explored how Australian agribusiness can best capitalise on global opportunities; how future innovations in technologies, markets, and products can transform Australian agribusiness; and the most effective ways to develop the capable and diverse leaders needed to steer Australian

MLA installs objective measurement Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) has announced a revolutionary plan to install objective carcase measurement (OCM) technology across the red meat industry. As a first step, MLA will create a platform to install stage one of the new OCM technology into all AUS-MEAT registered slaughter facilities in Australia. The initiative paves the way for scientific measurement of saleable meat yield, future value based marketing and industry-wide productivity gains through processing automation, genetic improvement and data-based on-farm decision making. Longer term, the plan is also expected to reduce the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual multi-million cost of grading. Making the announcement today at MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Annual General Meeting in Hahndorf, South Australia, Managing Director Richard Norton said that universal adoption of the technology was the only way to capture the potential of the data it generates to benefit all of industry. To do so, MLA would acquire a commercial loan on behalf of industry to finance the $150 million one-off cost of installing Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) technology in up to 90 AUSMEAT registered slaughter facilities, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most important
product of objective carcase measurement is the data it will generate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan ensures that data will be available to all participants across the value chain,â&#x20AC;? Mr Norton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re now at a stage where our smallstock DEXA technology is ready for commercial deployment, while for beef our DEXA research and development is nearing completion and ready for commercial installation trials in early 2017. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once the first stage of objective carcase measurement is installed, both systems will provide valuable information for the value chain including saleable meat yield, bone and fat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The systems will become more and more valuable as ongoing research and development enhances the application of objective carcase measurement around all conceivable measures.â&#x20AC;? Mr Norton said the Australian Competition and Consumer Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (ACCC) interim report on its cattle and beef market study supported Cattle Council of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus on how the competitiveness of Australian beef and cattle markets could be improved by the adoption of objective carcase measurement. The universal adoption of the technology would also contribute to maintaining the
Australian red meat industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to compete in global markets, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Australia is a high cost producer compared to some of our international competitors, so we need to constantly innovate and invest in productivity and efficiency improvements from the farm right through to the processor and ultimately to market,â&#x20AC;? Mr Norton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan will drive a shift from the current subjective grading of lamb and beef to a new system of livestock production and marketing where producers can be transparently rewarded against objective data and value measurements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On farm, that will stimulate further advances in genetics and livestock production systems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Within the processing plant, the technology will reduce wastage and workforce injuries and boost productivity through the use of accurate, objective measurement and automation.â&#x20AC;? Mr Norton said that in developing its plan, MLA had listened carefully to calls from the industry for more transparency in the process of grading carcases at abattoirs and, more recently, had noted the ACCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarks around the integrity of the grading process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under our plan, AUS-MEAT will be the whole-of-value-chain independent regulator. AUS-
MEAT will calibrate the system, conduct the audits and will also provide a complaints resolution process,â&#x20AC;? Mr Norton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ensuring that the data generated from objective carcase measurement is accessible and easy for producers to use will further enhance the integrity of the grading system and also form the basis of MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s digital strategy.â&#x20AC;? Mr Norton said MLA had sought and received in-principal support from the Deputy Prime Minister and Federal Minister for Agriculture, Barnaby Joyce, for the introduction of objective measurement across industry, and would continue to consult with the industry's peak councils about how to best structure the one-off cost of its introduction. He likened the universal introduction of objective carcase measurement to other visionary initiatives such as the Meat Standards Australia (MSA) eating quality system and the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food safety and traceability systems, both of which continue to return hundreds of millions of dollars to producers, decades after their implementation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through collaboration and collective investment, this plan will generate value across the red meat industry today, tomorrow and through to beyond 2020,â&#x20AC;? Mr Norton said.
Cattle, climate, consumers and communities Feeding seaweed to cows to cut emissions, saving rural communities and developing new and profitable Australian food products. These are just some of the diverse items that will be on the agenda at an industry conference in Sydney at the end of the month. The Australian Meat Processor Corporation (AMPC), the body that supports the red meat processing sector in Australia, will host the inaugural Vital Ingredient Sustainability Conference at the Four Seasons Hotel at the end of this month. A lineup of industry experts, including Professor Ted Schroeder from the US, Declan Troy from Ireland and Tim Ritchie from New Zealand will discuss risks facing the business that contributes $23 billion annually to the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GDP and employs 134,0001 people. The conference is a sequel to the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feast of Ideas workshopâ&#x20AC;? held

in Wagga Wagga recently that sought fresh inspiration for ensuring the sustainability and profitability of the red meat processing sector. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at how we can use best practices to become one of the best sustainable businesses in Australia,â&#x20AC;? explains AMPC chairman Peter Noble. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our industry has changed phenomenally over the past 20 years along with consumption patterns and the regulatory environment. Doing nothing now will mean we could lose value from the entire red meat supply chain.â&#x20AC;? The search for answers will take the conference into new territory, like the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Internet of Things,â&#x20AC;? where everyday objects are connected, options for transforming meat to boost its acceptance in some markets, or methane-lowering seaweed stock feeds. Some risks identified in the AMPCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recently released Feast of Ideas sustainability report (feastofideas.com) will
be best tackled by the entire supply chain collaborating more effectively, says Peter Noble. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lack of information sharing can disadvantage participants along the chain and lead to low levels of trust, and cooperation.â&#x20AC;? Improving continuity of cattle supply and automation technologies that can cut processing costs will be important, too, if processors are to successfully deal with the threats facing them. The conference will also feature research and innovation in meat and food science and showcase innovative technology. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The red meat industry is the foundation on which many rural communities are built,â&#x20AC;? says Peter Noble. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look forward to seeing its representatives at the conference to discuss how we best map out our shared future.â&#x20AC;?

World championship Triathlon at Lake Crackenback He was the hunter for the first part of the race, as he predicted, but his patience, experience and skill earned Ruben Ruzafa (ESP) a third ITU Cross Triathlon World Championship. After exiting the water in 16th place he clawed his way to the front on lap two of the bike and ran away with it from there, winning an unprecedented third consecutive year. Earning his first ITU podium, Josiah Middaugh (USA) finished with the silver medal and Braden Currie of New Zealand with the bronze. “I thought the race would be more hard because the cause was flat. In the swim I lose less than I thought maybe 1.20 and I caught the riders early in the beginning of the lap,” said Ruzafa. “Every lap I try to increase my performance, on the last lap I push until the limit and I arrive first, I’m really happy because Maui was hard for me losing in the last 2km.” Australia’s Ben Allen lead the two-lap 750m swim from the gun, predicting that to win this race you would need to nail the swim, Jen Roth (GER) kept right on his toes and the pair were first into transition with the wily Courtney Atkinson (AUS), Brice Daubord (FRA), Currie and Sam Osborne (NZL) all out in smart succession. The reigning world champion Ruben Ruzafa was
1min 15sec down in 16th position. But the dual world champion quickly made up time with his superb bike handling skills, and on the second of the two 16.4km bike loops was leading the trio out front that included Currie and Allen. Ruzafa pushed his lead out to 3min 30sec at the end of the bike. Currie was next out followed by Allen. The mountain bike trails encompass two alpine lakes and includes rocky paths, bridges, rock gardens and creek crossings, which required a high level of skill, which Ruzafa had in spades. Getting overtaken in the final 2km of the Xterra World Championship hurt Ruzafa and was driving him on. “I didn’t lose a lot of energy in the bike because it was technical in the second lap I just concentrated. “Since the beginning I start to take time in the bike and then in the run take four minutes so it’s really a good time for me to start the run,” said Ruzafa. But at the end of lap one on the run the changes were happening
behind, Currie was 2min 50sec behind Ruzafa, but Middaugh was the big mover, up into third moving Allen to fourth. The challenging trail run traversed the banks of the Little Thredbo River with a few surprises and challenges including creek crossings, a river run, suspension bridge, obstacles, rock scrambles and some true off
road terrain. It began to take its toll on the field and Middaugh seized the opportunity moving into second. “My swim is pretty dismal and I worked through the field really good, I was a bit worried with the single track, and I didn’t think I’d be able to get through but everyone was great sports letting me through,” said Middaugh. While Ruzafa ran away with the win in the end, to claim a third world championship gold, Middaugh was elated with his silver and a fading Currie was good enough to hold on for the bonze. “I’m pretty happy with that I wanted to finish the season with a good race, Ruben was on another level today he’s just amazing on those corners and there was no matching that. Second place I was pretty happy,” said Middaugh. The Under 23 men’s race went to Brad Matthew-Edwards (RSA) in a time of 2:48:22, silver to Australia’s Max Nuemann 2:48:56 and the bronze to Domenik Wychera (AUT) 2:54:04. At the pre-event press conference the competitors in the pro division spoke highly of the course calling it one of the best tracks on the world platform.
“It’s well maintained. The staff have done a fantastic job. For the race to be here, it’s pretty special,” reigning Australian champion Ben Allen said. Sam Osborne from New Zealand also praised the work of event organisers in preparing the track and was encouraged by the potential for adventure tourism in the region. “The potential is huge, particularly in Thredbo for trails around the rocks. We don’t have rocks like that in Rotarua. This place could go off,” he said. 2016 Snowy Mountains ITU Cross Triathlon World Championship Results 1. Ruben Ruzafa (ESP) 2:34:25 2.

Cooma field and Game shoot ‘Bring a Mate Day’
Sunday saw an excellent day for Sporting Clay Target shooting at the Cooma Field and Game grounds. This was great as it was bring a mate day and the guests who came out to try their hand at clay target shooting made the most of the good shooting conditions and an excellent range. 58 shooters which included 14 guests shot some good scores including one 25 possible round Graeham Bennett from Canberra. Being a handicap shoot scores for less experienced shooters are boosted often leading to some new faces at end of the day’s presentation Jake Mason up and coming junior had his best day yet with 56 off the gun giving him enough to win the juniors for the first time. Chris Robinson long time club member shot very well and took out a well-deserved high gun.
Other results. High Gun: Chris Robinson 122 AA Grade: 1st Kris jones 88, 2nd Andy Vacaro 84 A Grade: 1st Phil Craig 109, 2nd Darren Redman 107, 3rd Curls Thistleton 105 B Grade: 1st Graeham Bennett 118, 2nd Sean Newlin 118, 3rd Reg Mc Gufficke 116 C Grade: 1st Richard Mould 119, 2nd Ian Armstrong 117, 3rd John Lehmann 116 Ladies: 1st Shelley Craig, 2nd Kerry Donald, 3rd Marg Warriner.

Feeling the need for speed? Snowy Mountains 1000... The Inaugural Snowy Mountains 1000 was first held on 27 October 2012 at the Snowy Mountains Airport, Cooma NSW. The Event welcomed 100 drivers to compete in a 1000 Metre Runway Sprint taking place on the Airport Runway. Drivers and their crew attended the event from all over Australia bringing with them a diverse field of vehicles from all manufacturers including: Ferrari, Holden, Porsche, Nissan, Lamborghini, Toyota, Audi, BMW, Ford and many more. The inaugural event was a great success attracting thousands of spectators from the NSW Snowy Mountains Region, the ACT and as far as Victoria and Queensland. The event was kindly supported by many local and corporate sponsors which has allowed for continued growth. The Snowy Mountains 1000 was again a great success in 2013. Records were broken from the previous year with the fastest time of
17.269 seconds and top speeds of 308km/h, these results have set the benchmark for 2014. This result of 17.269 makes the Snowy Mountains 1000, the ‘Fastest Timed 1000m Runway Sprint’ in Australia. The variety of manufacturers that attended in 2013 was extremely varied with many rare and unique vehicles and this was a great display for all spectators and motoring enthusiasts. The Snowy Mountains 1000 in conjunction with PowerPlus Racing Fuels also raised over $3000.00 for the Cancer Council by auctioning off ’Charity Rides’, this was further supported by our sponsors by donating raffled gifts and this was a fantastic outcome for a worthy cause. The 2016 event is scheduled for
Saturday November 26 and is already attracting some very fast and unique cars from around Australia. With the event proudly supported by local and
corporate sponsors we encourage you to come along to check out all the action, there will be something for everyone!

Adaminaby PINKS up for annual cup meeting A huge crowd witnessed country racing at its best in a wonderful social atmosphere at the picturesque Adaminaby Race-course on Saturday. The Snow Goose Hotel Motel Adaminaby Cup over 1400 metres was the feature event and saw 10horses jump from the starting gates vying for their share of the $14,000 in prize-money. The early lead was taken by Chasing Charlie, the $3.40 favourite ridden by Simon Miller, and this was a lead that he did not surrender, coming away for a dominant 2.8 length win from Fair Call, ridden by Jason Devrimol and with Mineral Deposit, ridden by Carly Frater, 3.6 lengths from the winner. For Chasing Charlie, who is trained at the Sapphire Coast by Barbara Joseph & Paul Jones for N J Hambrook, D L Tuckwell, A N J Hambrook, G J Waters, D A Bell, C L Anderson, M Child, B C Donoghue, J D Kavanagh, P E Warne, N J Hambrook, M J Warne, Ms B E Crowe, M A Cronin, Mrs K R Tuckwell, J J R Partnership Synd (Mgr: Mrs B M Joseph) & I D A Synd (Mgr: R Evans). It was his seventh win from 46 starts. Joseph and Jones Racing commenced operations in July 2010 when Barbara Joseph, who has been training since 1975, and her elder son Paul Jones, who was granted a Trainers Licence in late 2009, formed a training partnership. They train out of a complex at Thoroughbred Park in Canberra and have recently opened a satellite stable at the Sapphire Coast racecourse near Tathra. Unfortunately during the running of the Adaminaby Cup, Opoho, who won the event in 2015, sustained an acute strain of the tendons in his offside foreleg and had to be pulled up by the jockey. Whilst the scenes that followed, directly in front of the crowd, were not pleasant, local Veterinarian
Peter Brennan had quickly diagnosed and treated the injury before the 11-year-old, the winner of 13 races and $165,000 in prizemoney, was on the float and headed home to Queanbeyan where he will retire under the care of his devoted trainer Jenny Hoy and owner Marc Housley. The “Meekatharra” Maiden Handicap over 1000 metres was Race 1 on Saturday and saw a capacity field of 10horses face the starter. Upon jumping, Grand Expectation and No More Drinks set a hectic pace with the remainder of the field chasing but spread out over many lengths. As they came into the straight, Miss Denari, (starting at $13) ridden by Jason Devrimol, and Luckier, who were both about five lengths behind the leaders, commenced eye-catching runs down the centre of the track. Over the final 100 metres Miss Denari took control to win by a length margin from No More Drinks ($3.50 eq fav) and with Prison Break ($3.50 eq Fav) in third, 1 ½ lengths behind the winner. Luckier, trained by Georgie Boucher finished a close up fourth. The hard luck tale was with Bunalert, raced by Cooma local Keith Bottom, who was making ground midway through the race only to cop severe interference from another runner which put her totally out of contention. The win of Miss Denari, trained at Cooma by David Kelley, was a great thrill for local owners Trevor & Belinda Coyne along with Gina McConkey. The Cooma H Hardware, High Country Truss & Frames - Class 1 Handicap over 1000 metres was Race 2 and had seven starters with local interest being with Gasogene ($5), conditioned at Cooma by Matthew Kelley, whilst Clever Buttons, trained at Goulburn, was the ($3) favourite to win the event.
However, from barrier rise it was Calais Grey and She’s Kidding that set a cracking pace, the favourite was well back whilst Gasogene and Dashing Duncan were in hot pursuit. Half way down the straight She’s Kidding took the lead and went on to win from the fast finishing Dashing Duncan and Gasogene who was a length from the winner in third placing. She’s Kidding was ridden by Melinda Kinny for Canberra trainer Gratz Vella who owns the horse along with Mrs G M Trevaskis and P A Kelly. The Snowy Hydro Benchmark 45 Handicap over 1300 metres was Race 3 and there was considerable local ownership and subsequent interest in some of the full field of 10runners. The ($4) favourite was the Queanbeyan, Tony Sergi, trained Brockton Punch and it was that horse that took up the lead soon after the start and looked to be the winner until the last few metres when overhauled by Machu Picchu who finished strongly down the middle of the track. Ridden by Carly Frater, Machu Picchu scored by a neck margin and Greenwich Girl was 4.3 lengths back in third place. Machu Picchu is trained at Moruya by John Marzol for owners including Michelle Suthern from Berridale and the Bermagui based Kevin Williams. The win for jockey Carly Frater was her first since her recent return to race-riding after she sustained a significant injury in early 2016, which saw her hospitalised for some months, when a horse fell on her. Race 4 was the Snowy Monaro Regional Council and Delta Agribusiness Maiden Plate over 1400 metres which again had a full field of 10 horses looking to break their maiden status. Watch Strongy Go ($8) was having only his second race start for trainer Kerry
Clockwise from top left: She’s Kidding wins race 2; The connections of Miss Denari, winner of race one; president Lynley Miners presents trainer Gratz Vella with his trophies; Watch Strongy Go wins race four; Lynley Miners presents Michelle Suthern and Keith Williams with their trophy for Maccu Picchu’s race three win; Chasing Charlie wins the Cup.
Weir from Tumut and, in second position, chased the leader Gagarin ($6), whose pace had seen the remainder of the field struggling to keep up, spread out in single file for many lengths. With Gagarin, ridden by Bryan Murphy, on the rail and with Watch Strongy Go, ridden by Amanda Masters, to the outside, these two came away, neck and neck to the line with the latter prevailing by a ½ head margin. Dream Vision, the favourite ($3.50) was 1.5 lengths back in third place. Watch Strongy Go is raced by Natalie Weston, who spent her formative years in the Cooma district, along with BW Strong. Interestingly, the sire of Watch Strongy Go, General Maximus, was trained by Rod Weston for himself, Natalie and Denise Weston and won three races, including the final event at Adaminaby in 2003. The dam Chincay, also trained by Mr Weston won four races, her last being at Tumbarumba in 1998. The Alpine Motor Group Benchmark 51 Handicap over 1700 metres was the final race of the day and had six runners, the ($3) favourite being On Our Selection trained at Queanbeyan by Toni Sergi. However on barrier rise, Amanda Masters took Four Diamonds to the lead and was able to kick clear in the straight for an emphatic all the way win. The winning margin was 1.5 lengths from Impulse and the favourite On Our Selection was three lengths from the winner in third placing. Overall, riding honours on the day went to jockey Amanda Masters and training accolades to John Marzol, both of whom had two winners. Racing in the area continues at Cooma on December 3 with a six race card with the features being the Cooma Cup and Sundowner’s Cup for maiden horses.

Steinfort were having a close game with Leanne Phillips, Colin Peuker and Paul Cannell up to end five when the latter team took off and scored five, four and four to lead 15/3 and were never headed to win 30/7. Max Povey, Mike Mannile and Kevin Jackson, although trailing 3/7 on seven against Peter Harris, Mick Mayhew and Renate Winckel, were still in it but dropped six shots on eight and it seemed Renate’s team would run away with the game but just won 18/17.

The further the match progressed the bigger the gap became with Max, Mario and Roulie winning 21/8.

The racing hots up at Lake Jindabyne Sailing Club Story by Tim Symons, photos by John Byrne and Ian Foster The third heat of Lake Jindabyne Sailing Club’s 2016/17 Twilight series was held on the warm evening of Wednesday November 16. Ian Foster manned the rescue boat as 11 mono-hulls and five catamarans rigged up on the lake shore. John Byrne started the catamarans first as usual from an unusual start line using the cardinal mark near Lion Island in the light to medium Southerly breeze. The wind shifted just before the start and assisted most of the sailors who started on Port tack from the buoy end of the line. Alistair and Lucy Cross made a great start on their Hydra 16 and led the fleet to the Quarry mark for the first time. Unfortunately they stalled on the mark and allowed Barney and Thomas Davis to sneak past into the lead, followed by Andrew and Jake Kennedy and Tim Symons. Barry Dennis joined Alistair and also stalled while rounding the Quarry mark. The mono-hulls started five minutes after the cats with John Baird and Nick Kennedy battling for the lead on the first leg to the Quarry mark. The other boats followed while battling with each other for positions within the fleet. Several sailors
joined ion the race for the first time including Rod Baillie on his Laser full rig, new members Felix and Alex Hearn on the club’s Laser 11 and Nic Luntungan and Karen Green on their Flying Fifteen. In the cats’ race Barney and Thomas stretched their lead and were chased by Tim Symons and Andrew and Jake Kennedy. Barry and Alistair and Lucy carried out their own battle too. Barney achieved a great advantage on the other sailors by reaching the Quarry mark each time on one tack while the others required an extra two tacks to round the mark. After two triangle laps and a windward/leeward sausage lap, John shortened the course and set the finish line off Lion Island. Barney and Thomas led the cats to the finish followed by Tim, Andrew and Jake, Barry and Alistair and Lucy. Barney took his second handicap corrected times win from Tim, Andrew, Alistair and Barry.
Nick Kennedy slipped to the front of the mono-hull fleet and crossed the finish line first. He was followed by John Baird and Jason Abbott on their Laser full rigs only 6 seconds apart. Next to finish were Terry Lee and Lucas on their 470, Rod Ballie, Martin Van Weel, Gote Vikstrom, Kerry McGaw, Ross Lawley and Nic and Karen. Felix and Alex took the colourful Laser 11 back to the beach early. The Handicap corrected times gave John a well-earned first win of the season. Jason took second followed by Nick, Gote, Martin, Terry, Kerry, Rod, Ross, and Nic and Karen. Heat one of the 2016/17 Club
Championship series was contested by eleven boats on Saturday November 19. An interesting course taking in the main lake and Lion and Cub Islands was started by John Byrne from in front of the clubhouse was started by John Byrne. Many of the sailors were caught out when the Westerly breeze swung dramatically less than a minute before the start. This caused a sudden change in tactics from the usual starboard tack start to a port tack start. Barney and Thomas Davis got this right on their Hobie 16 and led the fleet to the first mark with a small lead. The rest of the fleet jostled for position after rounding the Bay mark and stating the long reach to the Mountain mark while Barney and Thomas increased their lead. The three Hobie 17s of Ian Foster, Barry Dennis and Tim Symons separated from the rest of the fleet and set off in pursuit. The course took the fleet on a square run to the cardinal mark behind Cub Island. Tim slipped past Ian and Barry on the
following Windward work leg back to the Mountain mark as the wind increased to around 15 knots. The course then took the fleet around the two islands and back to the Club mark in front of the club house. This included a tricky Windward work in a shifting and variable Westerly breeze. Barney and Thomas crossed the finish line first after sailing a great race. The rest of the cats and the 470 finished next led by Tim, Ian, Alistair Cross, Barry, Andrew and Jake Kennedy, Terry Lee and Lucas and Adam and Kane Robinson who had to recover from Kane unexpectedly fall overboard when his trapeze wire snapped. The two Laser Radials of Kerry McGaw and Tom Lowry finished next. Ross Lawley and his Impulse had returned to the beach early. Barney and Thomas also won the race on yardstick corrected times with Kerry second and Tom third. The final races of KFN Cup for radio controlled yachts were finally run following this regular race. Jason Abbott took out this series followed by Martin Van Weel and Kerry McGaw who tied for second place.
Monaro rep team knocked out of Country Plate quick wickets to leave the visitors precariously placed. Monaro took 4/6 in the space of a few overs as Freebody finished with 5/24. As the Nowra batsmen looked on in shock, the winning runs were hit by their lower order. Monaro was eliminated from the state-wide knockout competition in the third round, after upsetting last year’s winners, Goulburn, in the second round. After being handed a bye in the opening round, Monaro had two home fixtures which ended in their defeat on Sunday. Taking to Rotary Oval, Monaro batted first in their encounter with the Shoalhaven based side. Tight bowling from the visitors restricted Monaro’s scoring, and with the loss of quick wickets it was up Simon Freebody bowled a sensational to the middle order to launch the repair spell of 5/24 to almost produce a mission. miraculous Monaro victory.
The Monaro representative side has been knocked out of the McDonald’s Country Plate following a three wicket loss to Nowra. With Nowra looking set for a comfortable victory, Dalgety’s Simon Freebody produced one of his finest spells to almost orchestrate a very unlikely Monaro win. Nowra was 3/151 requiring only 23 more runs to secure their position in the fourth round before Freebody picked up four
Backing up from a century on Saturday, Jindabyne’s Lucas Rixon top scored for Monaro with 52. His well compiled knock placed Monaro in a strong position, and when Peak View Jerangle’s Justin Locker smacked 42 at the end of the innings, the homeside looked well placed. With a handful of overs to be bowled before the lunch interval, Monaro went in search of quick wickets. Nowra’s openers put on a rapid 42 with some loose bowling, and big hitting pushing the total along. Monaro quick, Simon Partell, struck on the stroke of lunch, leaving the game in the balance. Monaro finished the representative season on a high note, almost sparking a memorable win. In the last number of seasons, Monaro has lost to the eventual winners of the Country Plate, with Goulburn last year going on to win after beating Monaro.

Cooma Stallions help Cameroon league program The Cooma Stallions Rugby League Club has donated a set of jerseys and about a dozen footballs to a developing rugby league program in Cameroon after being approached by ex-Stallions player Carol Manga. Manga is the former captain of the Cameroon international rugby union team and played for the premiership winning Stallions reserve grade team in 2012. Manga enjoyed his time with the Stallions and has kept an affiliation with the club since departing. In a country dominated by soccer, Manga has been working to develop rugby league in Cameroon with the eventual aim being to play against other developing nations and cement a spot in the Rugby League World Cup. At this stage, there is four teams in the country and Manga is looking forward to not only expanding the sport, but sharing the values of rugby league with his countrymen.
He sees rugby league as something different for his country and appreciates the social values, such as friendship and camaraderie. With the help of friends and coaches, Manga said he tries to act as a role model for people in Cameroon and show them confidence and self belief. “I use my life experiences to explain what is going on and give people some hope for their own life and improve what they do. “When joining the Stallions I found a bunch of people who focus on friends and fun. I was part of the family. They accepted me for who I am, they were proud to be with me for who I am. That was a very big moment for my life in Australia,” he said. “What the Stallions have done for me, I want to do the same thing back home. It’s not just about rugby league, it’s about the values.” Manga approached Craig Schofield from the Stallions and asked what the
Cooma side could do to assist. Schofield said the Stallions were more than happy to donate some jerseys and footballs and they are looking forward to expanding the partnership in the future. “It’s really good that we’re in a position to help. It’s a good partnership to have and it would be good to see it keep going (in to the future),” he said. There is also potential for a Cameroon team to come to Cooma for a training camp in the future and Schofield said both sides would explore the idea of sending players internationally. Manga said that the donation is warmly accepted and the support from the Stallions means a lot to him and the people he is trying to help. “Even a few balls and jerseys from people who believe in what you are doing means so much,” he said.

MEA November dressage competition results The Monaro Equestrian Association ran our third competition this spring, a dressage competition, again at Cooma Showgrounds. Third time lucky, the spring weather could not have been better. Those who camped overnight on Saturday enjoyed the mild overnight temperatures and competitors on Sunday had the benefit of the very beautiful showgrounds on a blissful sunny day. The program ran smoothly considering there were thirty horses which were entered in over fifty tests. A feature of the day was the judging of the novice and elementary classes with two judges. Consistent winners in these events were Cooma rider, Kim Kleven and Nicki Mazur from Canberra.

Bombala golf results Wednesday was the Ladies Picnic Day. The Ladies played nine holes of golf with Jean McLean having a win with 18 pts. Jean was very pleased commenting that she hadn’t won any trophies this year. Following the golf it was time for lunch. It was great to have some of our ladies who have not been able to play golf for the last few years namely, Jean Muir, Judy Pereira, Shirley Rutherford and Betty Douch. We were also very happy to welcome Heather Brown who had a hit of golf for the first time and we hope it won’t be the last. After enjoying our lunch we had a pick of the basket for a small Christmas gift. There were a lot of laughs and stories told and a great time was had by all. Members on Saturday played the Mixed Grill for Ross Brown and Wayne Eccles Trophies. The winners were Merv Douch and Simon Stephen with 60.5 Nett from Brendan Weston and Joel Cherry 62.5 Nett. These chaps were the ball winners.

On for young and old at the Mt Gladstone two-day hillclimb With some exciting cars entered and junior events too, there is something for everyone to enjoy at the next Cooma Car Club hill climb. This weekend Mount Gladstone Road will be closed for a full bag of hill climb events. There will be a wide range of drivers and cars ranging from 1950s-1960s Classic cars to up-to-the-minute All Wheel Drive (AWD) cars and HSV V8s. SATURDAY NOVEMBER 26 Commencing at 9am on Saturday morning, the weekend will kick-off with untimed runs with instructors for 13 junior (14-17) drivers who are taking part in Cooma Car Club’s 2016 Junior Driver Development Program Next will be the ‘come and try’ timed runs for beginner motorsport drivers 16 and over. It is a great opportunity to have a go in controlled conditions (with an instructor if required). In the afternoon, the meet will take on an historical feel when the drivers of almost 10 classic (1986 or older) cars take to the track. Nevertheless, this will not be an exhibition of older cars taking a leisurely trip up the hill climb track, as the entries include Anthony Hyde from Canberra in his very fast Volvo 240 GT turbo, Rogan Corbett in his Chrysler Charger, Tony and Dan Matthews sharing a fast and
tidy-handling Ford Escort and Nick Besestri driving a Fiat 124 Coupe AC. The Junior Driver Development Program is being conducted in conjunction with CAMS (Confederation of Australian Motor Sports). On Sunday October 23, the drivers had a great day in trying weather conditions learning about car maintenance and basic car control in the Car Club’s Motorkhana. Saturday’s hill climb
will enable them to develop their skills further, by experiencing car control at higher speeds in a safe controlled environment with an instructor in the car with them until they feel confident enough to have a solo run. SUNDAY NOVEMBER 27 Sunday will be a regular hill climb with 38 entries ranging from very fast high grip AWD models such Hayden Wicks in his Mitsubishi
Lancer Evo VII, three Subaru Impreza WRX entries and Warrick Cuthbert who is the hill record holder in his Nissan Skyline GTR 34. There will also be Brendan Coote in his fast little 2WD ‘hot hatch’ Peugeot 205 GTi and Anthony Hyde in his Volvo 240 GT. Sunday’s event will also include a number of spectacular entries ‘backing up’ from Saturday’s Snowy Mountains 1000 tarmac event, including four Holden Commodore HSV GTS
models. Sunday’s hill climb is open to vehicles ranging from road registerable Type 1-2 2WD production vehicles up to Type 3 AWD vehicles. Type 4 production based 2WD vehicles (sports sedans) are also allowed. All the entrants can anticipate a minimum of four 1km runs. The events will be conducted under CAMS rules and regulations. Saturday afternoon’s and Sunday’s competitors must hold a CAMS Level 2 Speed Event Licence. DETAILS FOR SPECTATORS AND FAMILIES Date: Saturday-Sunday 2627 November 2016 Location: Mount Gladstone Road track, approximately 4km west of Cooma off the Snowy Mountains Highway. Times: The hill climbs will run from 9:30 AM to around 4 PM on both days. Spectators and family can arrive at any time as a courtesy shuttle bus will run all day taking spectators from the bottom to the top and back again after each run. There is no charge for spectators. Food and (non-alcoholic) drink will be available.
