THE NEWSPAPER OF THE SNOWY MONARO REGION

Careflight visits

The Moruya based Westpack Careflight Helicopter landed at Cooma North Public school last Friday for an exhibition for the students. The event was made possible by Melissa Shenton who nominated the school for the experience where the children were given a run down on the operations of the helicopter then allowed a Q and A with one of the crewman. The Moruya based helicopter is one of three aircraft in NSW and services the coast and inland NSW. The helicopter features a spotlight with 15 million candle power, meaning it could hover at a thousand feet above a football field and provide enough light to televise the game. It also has a 90m winch which can lift up to three people. Both of these devices help

aid the crew in their rescue missions both at sea and land. The aircraft is a frequent visitor to the Snowy Mountains region and was used in the Stuart Diver rescue in the 1997 Thredbo Landslide. It is designed to fit six people but during rescue operations the crew have fitted more than 10 people and a dog. The aircraft acts as a surf lifesaving helicopter but the crew are not limited in their operations. “We’ll do anything we can to help anyone who needs help in NSW,” said Euan McKenzie, one of the air crewman on board. Euan has been flying for 24 years and has been part of over a thousand rescues in that time. His most recent rescue involved winching

down 60-70m of cable through tall trees to rescue a lady who had been missing for two nights. There are two other crewmen besides Euan, the pilot and the aircraft officer who co-ordinates the rescue. The crew work 10 hours a day and are on call at night for four days straight before they are relieved by another team. Euan also talked to the kids about how the crew on board the helicopter has a focus on safety and mentioned the importance of safety in their own lives, particularly when swimming between the flags and wearing helmets when bike riding.

Nimmitabel student wins national recognition In a world where children’s storybook characters take on many shapes and forms, an idea about an over-active, sherbet-loving character named “Harry”, could see Nimmitabel Public School year five student Jack McPherson’s concept hit the big time! Jack, along with all the students at Nimmitabel Public School recently entered the ‘Create a Character’ competition that was being run by ABC Splash, in conjunction with author Leigh Hobbs, the 2016-17 Australian Children’s Laureate. Leigh has published many books including Mr Chicken Goes to Paris, Fiona the Pig, Old Tom and Horrible Harriet. Jack’s entry, titled ‘Horrendous Hypo Harry’, was selected as one of eight national winners. In his submission, Jack outlined: “Hypo Harry is so hypo because he once ate 1 000 000 000 packets of sherbet (that’s why he’s so hypo!) Whatever Hypo Harry touches turns hypo and runs around at full speed (and I mean anything, even household appliances!)” Annabel Astbury, Head of ABC Digital Education and ABC Splash commended Jack on his entry. “Many of the entrants were inspired by the work of Leigh Hobbs, whose live-streamed chat introduced the Create a Character Competition. Leigh’s advice to students was “You need to get your imagination started and just keep going – even if it gets tough”. We’re very happy at Splash to have helped students like Jack to be able to get cracking with their

fabulous creative ideas.” As a national winner of the competition, Jack received a personally signed copy of Leigh Hobbs book ‘Mr Chicken Goes to Paris’. “I was so excited to find out that I had won.” Jack claimed upon receiving the news. “There were so many awesome entries in the competition, when we were told there was a winner at Nimmitabel School, I started wondering if it could be me.” ”When my name was read out, I couldn’t believe it!” Jack’s concept of an over-active individual was developed because “we were encouraged to think outside the box when we were creating our entry, and I wanted to make sure that Hypo Harry would be a memorable character with a larger than life personality”. Ms Astbury noted, “The competition attracted over 560 entries from kids all over the country.” “We were thrilled by the level of detail children included in their entries: characters’ eating and sleeping habits, the kooky things they wear and peculiar ways they walk and talk. There was a lot of smiling happening in the ABC Splash office while entries were being moderated.” The walls of Nimmitabel Public School’s library are currently adorned with the students entries in the competition. They include a broad range of ideas and concepts.

Everything from a snail with splodges of toxic waste to a hipster pot plant that likes the colour pink! The relieving principal of Nimmitabel Public School, Brad Austin said, “This is a mighty honour for Jack, and it is a reflection of his hard work and commitment to school.” “Jack has a tremendous imagination and thirst for knowledge, and this has been reflected in the character he has created for the ABC Splash competition.””I have no doubt that Jack’s entry, or any of the other entries our students

RFS busy with fires On Friday May 20 units from Cooma Rural Fire Brigade attended a fire in the rear of a yard in Binjura Road Bunyan where they extinguished a fire involving grass and trees. The fire was found to be caused by the land owner disposing of coals from a wood fire. The landowner thought the coals to be cold and had placed them there several days earlier they were still capable of causing a fire. This serves as a timely reminder for people to safely dispose of their coals by ensuring they are fully out, watered down and disposed of in an area with no vegetation. There are frequent examples of house fires that have been started by people placing coals adjacent to their house and the Rural Fire Service is urging people to deal safely with hot coals. At 11:39 on Sunday May 22, a call was received to an ‘escape private

land owner hazard reduction burn’. Crews from the Cooma RFS and Fire Rescue NSW Cooma attended and the police were on hand to carry out traffic control. The fire threatened adjacent properties and it was contained shortly before 2pm, burning approximately 17 hectares. The RFS is warning people that with the current dry conditions and frost settling, The Monaro is entering the winter fire season. This is a clear example of how volatile the conditions are and the RFS is advising it people do not have suitable control lines to contain the fire; if you do not have adequate firefighting equipment; if the weather conditions are not suitable before and after the burn; or if you are not confident or have the ability, do not light the match. Each landowner is responsible for ensuring the fire does not escape.

Call for senate inquiry into KNP draft horse plan About 70 people attended a meeting in Jindabyne last Saturday to discuss ways to save the Snowy Mountains brumbies. The meeting was called after the release of a draft plan of management for wild horses in the Kosciuszko National Park. It was convened by the Snowy Mountains Brumby sustainability and management group and chaired by president Alan Lanyon. The draft management plan calls for the cull of 90 percent of the brumby population over the next 20 years, taking the number of horses from an estimated 6000 to 600 by that time. The plan has outraged horse lovers and supporters of the brumby, who believe the brumbies have a place, both from a heritage and ecological view point, within the park. The meeting attracted a number of speakers who raised some pertinent questions about the science behind the draft plan of management. One speaker, and environmental scientist now studying her Masters in veterinary science at Charles Sturt University, was Karren Summers. She had travelled from South Australia to speak at the meeting as she believed there were serious flaws in the plan. In particular, she said there had been no investigation into the benefits of this ‘adapted species’ into the park’s ecology. She said simply removing brumbies from the park would be a mistake as no-one has studied the benefits they may be contributing the ecosystem. Ms Summer also said that any study must conform to a required standard and there is no standard for horse control in Australia. She said the brumbies are now part of the ecology of the park and are part of the evolution of the par. “Nothing stays the same”, she said. Shannon Byrne also spoke, from a local perspective. He questioned the National Parks and Wildlife’s estimate that there are 6000 brumbies in the park. He said his observations indicated a maximum population of about 3200, but he believed the numbers were closer to 2700. Mr Byrne said that trapping in the park since the 2008 wild horse plan and management was implemented had seen a big reduction in horse numbers, or about 40 percent. On the other hand, the number of feral deer in the park has dramatically increased. Mr Byrne said according to information from the NPWS about horse numbers, there were 305 ‘lots’ sighted in the aerial survey. “For there to be 6000 horses in the park, each mob would need to contain 19.3 horses. Every mare would need to have triplets and raise every foal. “It’s lies”, he said. While the Member for Monaro John Barilaro and the Member for Eden-Monaro Peter Hendy, did not attend the meeting, Mark Pearson, a member of the NSW upper house and Eden-Monaro candidate, Frankie Seymour, were present and addressed the meeting. Both were representing the Animal Justice Party. Mr Pearson said there was no scientific justification for ‘killing these animals”. He said after nearly 200 years of surviving in the park, the brumbies should be considered to be native animals and should not be subjected to a “Rambo

program of destruction. Mr Pearson said he wanted the draft plan to be the subject of an independent review by a NSW Standing committee, so that the authors can be questioned. He said the plan should be subject to peer review. Frankie Seymour, herself and environmental scientist reiterated that there is no scientific justification ‘for this slaughter”. She said it was unwise to remove a naturalised species, such as the brumby, from the environment because it has become part of the eco-system and there was no telling what damage that removal would result in. Another speaker, Neil Duncan, who said he has spent many hours in the saddle in the mountains, said the horse figures did not add up. He offered a map of the aerial survey area and said that only 45 percent of the survey was in the park – 11 percent was over is a better alternative outcome for the Snowy Brumby than State Forest land and the the slaughter house. remainder in Victoria. “We also recognise and support Maddison Young (Hunter He said the plan was Valley Brumby Assoc.) for her submission to the Independent push to ultimately get rid Technical Reference Group which raises serious doubts of horse-riders in the park – as to the integrity of the 2014 Australian Alps Wild Horse “first they get rid of the horse, then Population Survey. they get rid of the horse riders” he said. “At this point in time we have no confidence in the figure of After hearing the speakers, the meeting voted 6,000 horses in KNP as circulated by the NPWS, we believe on the following resolutions: the more accurate figure is between 2,700 and 3,200 horses. • That the Community Interest meeting rejects outright “We have currently 6,000 signatures on our online petition and opposes the use of ground cull shooting or shooting at calling for the NSW Environment Minister to suspend this trap sits as a management option winter’s trapping programme and we will be lobbying • That the 2016 winter trapping programme be politician’s to support us with this”. suspended until the final Plan of Management (DPoM) is released.

State funds help lift Hub access Boco Rock donations

Southern Cross Community Housing Manager Ruth Stanbury, Candice Morrell and John Graham from Mission Australia, Hub Youth Project Coordinator Cathy Guion, Member for Monaro John Barilaro, Bronnie Taylor MLC, Administrator Dean Lynch and Community Services manager Marilyn Watt.

Access to an important community facility will be made a little easier courtesy of a NSW Government grant for the purchase of a stair lift. The Member for Monaro, John Barilaro, presented an additional $48,401 grant to staff at Cooma’s Youth Hub on Monday. The money will be used to install a stair lift and improve The Hub kitchen. The NSW Government has already funded $13,000 towards upgrades at The Hub. “One of the NSW Government’s priorities is to increase opportunities for people with disability as we move towards a more inclusive society,” said Mr Barilaro. “The grant will be used to purchase a stair lift to an amenities block at the facility, thereby

helping people with disability gain easier access to the services, support and care they require. “The Hub is a popular spot for youth in the Cooma area, so it’s important that community assets such as this can be upgraded and maintained to provide access to all members of the community. “The NSW Government has funded a number of other upgrades at the centre including new toilets, shower, change area and laundry. Many people access the Hub each week for support and assistance via its information and referral services and the centre is a location where young people can meet, make friends, and take part in structured activities in a safe and welcoming environment.

Something of a “Keep Them Honest” campaign has begun in Bombala following the amalgamation of the Bombala Council with its neighbours to form the new Snowy Monaro Regional Council. The announcement of the merger was met with outrage in the Bombala district, with a public meeting being called to see what steps the community could take to either fight the decision or at least improve the outcomes for the area. The May 17 meeting was also aimed at clarifying how the Snowy Monaro Regional Council will run under the interim administrator system, which is one of many points of concern for the community. A crowd of around 230 locals attended the meeting, along with representatives of the Save Our Councils Coalition, Liberal MP Peter Hendy, Labor candidate Mike Kelly and Senate candidate Nella Hall, who is also fighting the amalgamation of Strathfield Council. A speaker of particular significance was newly appointed Snowy Monaro Regional Council Administrator, Dean Lynch who agreed with the majority that the Fit for the Future process had been flawed.

Council Catch Up The Snowy Monaro Regional Council is off to a flying start since the Government handed down the proclamation on May 12 2016. All staff have been working closely together to combine their skills and knowledge in their respective fields. All staff are excited to meet and work with new colleagues and to make new friends for years to come. On Tuesday 17 May 2016 Joseph Vescio and I attended the public meeting held at Bombala RSL Club at 7.30pm. Dr Peter Hendy MP Federal Member for Eden-Monaro and Labour candidate Dr Mike Kelly, along with a representative from the Christian Democrats also attended the meeting. 220 members of the public attended the meeting to voice their concerns around the amalgamation of Snowy-River Shire, Bombala and Cooma-Monaro Shire Councils. The main issue that was raised was the perceived feeling that the smaller communities within the region will lose their voice, input and identity. The main message that I conveyed to the attendees was that it will take about 18 months for the new council to develop a plan to see growth and progression in all communities. We will need support from all community members to ensure that our future plans will be successful and beneficial for everyone in our community. This support will include the continued use of Council Section 355 Committees. Members of the public will still be required to be on the committees as your input is essential to make educated and informed decisions that will provide the region with the best facilities and opportunities possible. The Advisory Committee that is to be established will be announced tonight at the first Council meeting of the Snowy Monaro Regional Council held at the Bombala Chambers at 5.30pm. Dean Lynch Administrator

Member for Monaro, John Barilaro (second left), Member for Eden-Monaro, Peter Hendy (third left), Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Leslie Williams (third right) and Member for Bega, Andrew Constance (second right) met with members of the Eden Local Aboriginal Land Council and the Bundian Way Advisory Committee in Bombala last week. Four

government ministers were in Bombala last Friday morning to discuss the Bundian Way project and begin a tour of sections of the ancient pathway. Meeting with members of the Eden Local Aboriginal Land Council and the Bundian Way Advisory Committee were Member for Eden-Monaro, Peter Hendy, Member for Monaro, John Barilaro, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Leslie Williams and Member for Bega, Andrew Constance. Despite the awkward timing given the council amalgamation announcement, the group remained focused on the Bundian Way as it met in the former Bombala Council chambers. Those involved in the development of the project said it was very positive to have so many NSW cabinet ministers visit to discuss and see the Bundian Way. After meeting in Bombala, the party travelled to the Delegate area and looked at potential camp sites along the walking route, checking out part of the Bundian Pass near Nungatta and later the Pericoe Road. The visitors then moved onto Eden where they walked a section of the newly-opened Story Trail on the shores of Twofold Bay, with its panoramic views of the bay and the coastal end of the walking track. Then the party adjourned to the culture

centre at Jigamy to discuss how to make the project a reality. “It was important to get the two local NSW Members, Andrew Constance and John Barilaro, together to consider issues like funding at the same time as Federal Member, Peter Hendy,” Chair of the Bundian Way Advisory Committee, Jon Blay said. “The Minister for Aboriginal Affairs also made practical suggestions.” Mr Blay indicated that perhaps the greatest challenge is coordinating support for the project, especially the development of new public infrastructure, when government is cutting down on spending. It has been suggested that the NSW government support the project and its infrastructure on a whole-of-government basis in a partnership with Eden Local Aboriginal Land Council through the multi-

agency Bundian Way Advisory Committee. The Federal Government might best support enterprise development along the route. “Things are starting to come together at last,” Mr Blay said. “If we can manage to come through glitches such as the changes in local government in the region, we might well see the project up and running within twelve months. That will take a big effort from everyone concerned.”

Lions raising funds for diabetes State announces new on cross-Australia trek 20-year plan for region

Lions members raising hope, and money, in a boat. Glen Hurst and support crew Marina Rurenga and Eric Maujeen with Cooma Lions John Britton and president Luke Pope. Hope in a boat is about a motorcycle travelling around Australia towing a boat to raise fuds for diabetes research. The boat is towed by a Honda Goldwing ridden by Lion Glen Hurst and is accompanied by support vehicle driven by Lions Marina Rurenga and Eric Maujean. This is their second journey to raise funds for diabetes research with the last trip in 2014 covering 24,396km. It started in 2011 when Glen needed a bike trailer but they were too expensive. He found an advert for a used folding trailer and already had a boat that was lighter and

bigger than the trailer. It attracted a lot of attention so they decided to use this to raise funds for research. Lions have made a significant breakthrough with saving sight and they believe that with the help of Diabetes Research WA they will be able to do it again.

Bringing our stories to life Borderliners’ big theatre weekend in Delegate was well attended and the group is now preparing for the next stage. On Saturday May 21, actor Camilla Blunden performed her onewoman show, All this Living, which she wrote and directed after many conversations with older women. The show addresses that feeling of invisibility that many women feel as they age. The character uses a simple set of large boilers arranged on the performance space to provide movement and a focus for her reflections on a life fully lived. Camilla conducted a Q & A afterwards where members of the audience related their own experiences of feeling invisible as they age. Deb Foskey, organiser of the weekend, said, “Delegate women are very important in their town. They pretty well run the town’s organisations and facilities yet they could still resonate with Camilla’s character. On Sunday, a group of about 15 people gathered for a workshop conducted by Camilla where people told stories from local history and their own lives. Deb Foskey said, “These stories will be typed up and included with stories from the Delegate Progress Association’s CDs of ‘In those days’, interviews published in The Local Rag and Tubbut Tattler and earlier scripts written by Rix Wright and performed by Delegate community in past decades. “We are still looking for stories so don’t hesitate to contact Penny Judge or me if you think it will make good theatre. “Not all the stories will make their way to the stage, but they may appear later in print. “Our stories define who we are as communities and Delegate needs positive stories as people

deal with the fallout of the recent local government amalgamations. “Across the border in Tubbut, Bonang and Goongerah, the links with Delegate are strong, as funding body East Gippsland Shire Council which supports the project, understands. In earlier days everyone went to the Shearers’ Balls and often married people they met at the region’s social events. Now it provides our nearest services as we lack a general store, pub and petrol station. It is ‘our town’. “To keep in touch with Borderliners, like our page on Facebook or contact Deb or Penny. We will meet again in a month or so to choose some stories to perform and mentor director Lis Shelley will work on some ensemble building skills, voice skills, character work and workshop stories in small groups and then we will come together at the end to show and work them with the whole group. In this way we will develop our show, with a tentative first performance in September. “We are keen to involve everyone in this project and determined that not only will it develop our community, it is an opportunity for self-development while we create a show to entertain our friends and neighbours,” said Deb Foskey.

Get Switched to new business From the Year 9 lad who knocked on the door of the local electrician to see if he could get enough work to raise money for a motorbike, Jake Heffernan has set up his very own ‘Get Switched Electrical’ business in the region. From 2008 Jake has worked with Bombala electrician, John Ratcliffe, firstly on weekends and during school holidays, right through an apprenticeship, and two years ago became a fully licensed electrician. When “Ratty” made plans to retire, it opened up a whole new opportunity for the young electrician, and Jake is now offering the area a quality professional service. “I enjoyed working for John and would like to thank him for his guidance, support, patience and knowledge throughout the years,” Jake said. “I wish John and Francis a happy and healthy retirement, and also wish Clay and Patrice Clear all of the best as they take over Ratcliffe’s business.” So what can we expect from Get Switched Electrical? An electrician who is enthusiastic, well presented, prides himself in the highest quality workmanship, and is professional, reliable, punctual and efficient. Jake is pleased to be offering his services across the whole Bombala, Monaro, Snowy, South Coast and East Gippsland region. “I really love being an electrician and find it extremely satisfying,” Jake said. “I am upto-date with the latest developments relating to Australian Standards, materials, safety and

energy efficiency.” Jake is always willing to take the time to listen to clients to achieve the best results, and can offer advice on layout and design as well as the latest products and ideas to reduce power bills. Work is of course carried out strictly in accordance with the Australian Standards, with Jake being fully insured and licensed to carry out all aspects of electrical work. “I only use reputable brands and will ensure I leave your premises clean and tidy,” Jake added. Get Switched Electrical caters for all your domestic, commercial, rural and industrial electrical needs, covering all aspects of electrical from new homes and developments through to smaller jobs like power points, pumps, lighting and general maintenance. No matter how big or small the job, if it’s electrical, Get Switched Electrical can get it done for you in a timely manner.

President Adele welcomed members from VIEW clubs across the region including Tuggeranong Evening, Lake George Day, Woden and Cooma Day. Jan Roberts, National Councillor Area AA presented 20 year badges to inaugural and current members Gwennyth Connelly, Jan Freimanis, Marilyn Gaukroger and Julie Upton.

Berridale and told her stories to students from some of the preschools and primary schools in the region and Debbie said the program was a massive success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made some really good community connections. It was good to liaising with directors from other centres and we made plans to do things in the future,â&#x20AC;? Debbie said. Anna also incorporated craft sessions in to the story telling, helping to stimulate the kids literacy and language skills as well as their confidence and imagination.

Jenny Lawlis and Jessie Warner inaugural and current members were unable to attend. After a delicious meal, everyone agreed it was a very successful and enjoyable evening, with special thanks going to the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committee and all the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s members.

Final curtain call – Jim Brindle

Cooma Men’s Probus Club

The current president and a stalwart of Cooma Little Theatre has died peacefully at home on Thursday 19 May after a serious illness. He first came to Cooma in 1973 as the new Elgas (then Porta gas) manager. At this time he was heavily involved in Scouts and was a scout leader here for many years taking kids camping, rock climbing and to Jamborees. He was awarded a Medal of Merit from the Governor General for his long contribution to Scouting. Most people however would

This month the Probus Cub was addressed by James Litchfield, no longer actively farming but still on the Board of “Hazeldean”, on the Dalgety side of Cooma. James spoke to us on the subject of agriculture on the Monaro, and described some of the research presently being carried to improve production and quality in the region. He harked back to his early days, before running water and electricity, and remembers without fondness winters apparently spent chopping logs for firewood for both cooking and heating. What a contrast to farm life today! Other contrasts are in the size of properties today and yesterday, with half as many animals on twice as big areas, and the battle with rising costs and lower returns. It worries him that around the Monaro, the unwillingness to combine properties, share resources and multiply gains means that many farmers are struggling to keep afloat. A common practice in these times is for farmers to have a town job as their major source of income, the properties being looked after at weekends, with consequent draining of energy and health. He queried the wisdom of relying on overseas students to fund university education, with its growing trend towards economics and less attention to agriculture, and he went on to describe some of the research being carried out on his own properties. This ranges from experimenting with interbreeding of cattle types to try to take advantage of Queensland and the Northern Territory’s huge potential for cattle/ beef production, with

know Jim from his involvement with the Cooma Little Theatre. Soon after he arrived here he saw one of their shows and just had to get involved. Here he acted, directed and did many backstage works. Some of his more memorable were Christmas pantomimes with local dance companies, florescent light shows and some type of giant animal (camels, pandas etc). Although work took him and Joyce, his wife, to Gosford in 1983 they returned to Cooma after they retired. From then until now he has been involved in theatre and has been the

Fireside chat

Next month’s Fireside Chat in Delegate is set to get people thinking! Population and reproduction are key components of international politics. Yet we hear more about population than reproduction. Without reproduction there would be no population. So why does international politics ignore it? Is it because it’s about women who are largely invisible in international politics writings, with their focus on wars and statecraft and now, terrorism? Bonang resident, Deb Foskey set out to answer these questions in her Ph D thesis, The international politics of population and reproduction, published as ‘Did the earth move for you too dear?’ and will discuss her findings at the Fireside Chat on June 4 2-4pm at the Delegate School of Arts. To book your place at what is sure to be a highly thought provoking address phone the Platypus Country Vic on 6458 4622.

President for many years. He has been active in encouraging travelling shows and other community groups to use the excellent facilities here. His declining health meant he was not able to attend the re-opening of the theatre after the extensive renovations recently completed, however he did see and love the new look. The family has arranged a private cremation, but invite all who knew him to a celebration of his life at the Cooma Little Theatre, Cooma North at 2pm on Sunday May 29.

Red Shield Appeal Get ready to dig deep, Bombala and Delegate! Once again this weekend a group of local volunteers will be knocking on doors and asking for your support for the Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal. Each year the Salvation Army provides assistance to over one million Australians! To continue providing high quality community services, they need your donations. This Sunday, May 29, local door knockers will be making their way through Bombala and Delegate to help raise vital funds for the running of the Salvation Army’s vast network of social services. Your donation may mean a roof to someone without a home, or education support for a child at risk of dropping out of school. The range of services that the Salvation Army provides is many and varied as it helps out Aussies in need. When you get a knock on the door this weekend, please be generous to the Red Shield Appeal and supportive of its local volunteers.

James Litchfield particular emphasis on overseas markets such as Indonesia; where, incidentally, most cattle handling abattoirs are of a far higher standard than those recently exposed on the ABC. A research team is monitoring Carbon retention in soil on their high-country property and determining methods of improving this important factor; losses have dropped from 92 tonnes per hectare to 56 T/h and are expected to get down to as low as almost 30 t/h.. Further improvements by as little as five percent per decade would have an enormous effect on Production and soil health. The adverse effect of droughts can partly be overcome by selling off stock, and by drastically altering the method widely used to hand- feed animals. Hazeldean has experimented both by rotating paddocks every three months and thus allowing native grasses time to recuperate before the next cropping, and by using commercially available Kliplock sheeting on which to spread feed. The animals, instead of spoiling bare paddocks as they chase after a tractor, are forced to get feed at specific places. A return to nine percent ground cover becomes possible –

perennial grasses will die out otherwise – as it’s within the top 37mm of soil that root growth takes place. An interesting discovery by university research teams working in the high country is that in the wetlands, Ammonia (NH3) is absorbed in the soils rather than be lost as “greenhouse gas” into the atmosphere. James also discussed bushfire control and the devastating effects recurrent fires have on country. Early ground cover tends to rejuvenate at a slower rate than hotter-burning plants, so that ground fires tend to get hotter with each fire, causing far greater damage each time. The need to copy the indigenous people’s practice of starting controlled burning on the tops of ridges and utilising the slower rate of burn downhill is so important. A return to the use of stock to control ground cover in the high country would also be wise. We thank James for his talk and only wish that more of our members had been there to hear it; which of course leads me to invite any retirees looking for fellowship to contact either Bob Weston (6452 7008) or Derek Watson (6457 1321) to express interest in joining us.

Off to Paris after Fashionation raffle

Pictured, new Wrap with Love co-ordinator Kelly Morley with the boxes of rugs and her assistant, Charlotte.

Wrapped with more love

The winner of the Cooma Community Chest Fashionation raffle was announced last week with the lucky winner receiving a trip to Paris. The winner was Lynette Millard who is affectionately known as Kim and is the current caretaker of The Outpost at Adaminaby. Lynette was unable to attend the event but kept hold of her ticket just in case and said she was very surprised to be announced the winner. She has been to Paris once before during the Christmas period and is excited at the opportunity to see the city in the warmer months.

While in France Lynette will take an extended bit of time to catch up with her daughter and grandchildren and explore the country. All the prizes were won locally and are as follows: 1st – Lynette Millard won the trip to Paris 2nd – Lorraine McGregor won an outfit designed and made by a local designer of your choice. 3rd – Tanya Janota won a canvas made by Michael Scott Lees 4th – Susanne Eggleston won a yearly subscription to RMW Outback Magazine.

Cooma is about to send off 97 rugs to Wrap with Love in Sydney, to help keep homeless people in Australia a bit warmer this winter. Wrap with Love has been effortlessly co-ordinated within Cooma and district by Betty Mattner, for an amazing 24 years. Betty has recently handed over the position to Kelly Morley, who is very proud to be able to continue the tradition. Wrap with Love

in this region has been made possible with the amazing efforts of community members who have donated their time and wool to knit and crochet squares or full blankets. Others unable to knit of crochet have donated wool or yarn. Monaro Freight will once again transport the 97 rugs to Wrap with Love in Sydney, as they have done for many years. Cooma Power Equipment and

Cooma Furnishing Company have supplied the boxes and packaging, while the Cooma library has provided a drop-off and pick-up point for the wool, squares and blankets. Anyone interested in donating wool or yarn or making squares are encouraged to contact Kelly on 6452 7776 or visit www. wrapwithlove.ord for details on square size and all other information about the organisation.

With Alice in Wonderland playing on the big screen and a plentiful spread of morning tea treats, the guests happily enjoyed the occasion decked out in their craziest headwear. Meanwhile the youngsters of the Wiggling

Whippersnappers were doing the same, enjoying fairy bread and other Mad Hatter delights as they too showed off their hats. On Friday it was the staff and residents at Currawarna Hostel for the Aged hosting the Biggest Morning Tea, also raising a cup and welcoming guests for a sandwich and cake all in the name of a good cause. Combined with Delegate’s tremendous effort, almost $1000 was raised for the Cancer Council this year through the Biggest Morning Teas in the Bombala district.

Penny Campbell is excited to be moving Lou Lou’s into the old Final Touches building in Bombala, giving her more space to expand her much loved business. Exciting times ahead for Lou Lou’s! The much loved and very funky giftware, clothing, accessories and homewares store is about to jump ship into a bigger premises in Bombala. Lou Lou’s has been delighting customers for five years from its original digs, but when the opportunity came up to expand the business, owner Penny Campbell was thrilled to take the leap. Penny is moving Lou Lou’s into the old Final Touches premises just a couple of doors up in Maybe Street, and is wildly excited to have three times the space to play with! “Obviously this means I can expand my range, and while I will be keeping my existing gift and homeware lines, I’ll also be able to branch out into more clothing,” she says. Penny has been researching what her customers really want and will build

on her range of ladies clothing, responding to the demand for affordable, good quality garments, and also including plus sizes. “We’ll be catering for everyone, including the curvier ladies, and will have a good line of basics that can then be added to with more statement pieces,” Penny said. “We’ll of course hang onto our happy, friendly Lou Lou’s atmosphere, and I really want people to feel comfortable coming and trying things on, and going home with something that they feel great in.” And she hasn’t forgotten the rest of the family. A basic range of menswear will be on offer, as well as some items for young children and babies, particularly suitable as gifts. Among them will be some hand sewn outfits, tutus and other custom items from Klzdesigns, run by former local Lea Usher.

“I’m going to continue to source local made goodies where I can, as we all love them,” Penny said. So when does it all happen? Lou Lou’s will have its final day in its existing premises on Saturday of the long weekend, June 11. We can then all look forward to the bigger and better Lou Lou’s opening on July 11! Of course there’s lot’s to do in the meantime, and Penny will start gutting and revamping the new premises from this week, aiming for a completely new look while still hanging onto her funky Lou Lou’s fittings we know so well. And there’s something exciting happening next door too! The adjoining premises, once Cuthel’s Menswear, is welcoming in a new business as well, and it’s a perfect compliment to Lou Lou’s. Watch this space…

postman calls

The Postman has been a bit miffed this week – he likes to listen to the local ABC of a morning just to check his name isn’t one of those in the funeral notices each morning. But there haven’t been any so far this week – have we all become immortal? Supporters of the Snowy Mountains brumbies gathered at Jindabyne last Saturday to hear a number of speakers – while there were 70 people there, organisers have been informed there was a bit of a rumour going around town, that the meeting had been cancelled. They wonder who could have started the rumour and why? As we spiral towards yet another election, the purse strings are being loosened and all this money suddenly seems to be available. There are a heap of things which this part of the world could spend real money on – better funding for aged care, more staff for aged care, better public transport links, etc, etc – the list just goes on… Giving $2m to Bateman’s Bay to frighten their bats seems a bit excessive though. Why not create a habitat out of town for them and maybe reduce the number of spotted gums the bats are feeding off now. Brumbies, bats – why does the NSW Government seem intent on removing these critters when there are thousands upon thousands of feral pigs, deer, dogs, etc, in the national parks. Not much being done to sort out those ferals…

Betty says goodbye Editor, After 24 years working with Wrapped With Love Inc., I have announced my retirement as Convenor. I am pleased to advise that Kelly Morley (ph: 6542 7776), a local, has agreed to take on the role going forward. I wish Kelly every success in the role in the future, and ask

that all of you who contribute to this wonderful endeavour give her all your support. Kelly is currently organising the next consignment to be sent off to Sydney this week. As usual, please leave your squares and rugs at the Library in Cooma. In closing, I wish to thank all the wonderful,

dedicated and caring people who have supported me over the many years in the role. You have come to feel like my extended family, and I will certainly miss you! Take care and keep up the good work! Betty Mattner AM Cooma

Riposte Lisa Ashurst You know, I didn’t realise exactly how much I missed having the Internet until now that I have it again. Well yes, I remember missing it a lot but still, I was not truly aware just how enormous “a lot” could be until the day I discovered that Smart Antenna plus dongle combined with up to the minute wireless technology of New Computer equalled Facebook! I almost fell off my chair when the sign-in page popped up and practically fainted with relief when sign-in responded and actually signed me in and there it was! My page! And I have to confess, I’m not over it yet. Not by a long shot. Okay, sure, I do all the serious type stuff first, like my emails, research for features and articles I may be required to write and my blog (The Piper at sandpipereditorial. com.au) but being able to access Facebook again is akin to having a packet of Tim Tams that never empties. Like, it has been almost four years since I last had Internet 24/7 at home and while it was wonderful that I had some access via my local Library or Daughter and Sonin-law, it was not the same kind of Wonderful as having it on tap at home. It means if I want to look something up at 2.00am I can, as opposed to not remembering what it was I wanted to search once I hit the Library or the kids’ place a day or so

later. I hated it when that happened. But something that did come out of the enforced online drought was a new appreciation and a realisation that I would never take things for granted ever again because one day I might have to do without them for a while, which is when you really understand how much you miss things. Hopefully I won’t have Internet issues in the future but with all these new gadgets that’s unlikely to happen anyway (touch wood) but it doesn’t hurt to drop to my knees upon entering my home office, kiss the carpet and thank the Universe with all my heart and soul (I told you I wasn’t over it yet!) for finally, fin-ally blessing me with the wherewithal to get the gear that would coax that signal into my house. Man, I am soooo blessed. Of course, I’m not addicted to Facebook or anything, it’s simply that I like keeping up with far-flung family and friends and Facebook is a great way to do that. Fine, perhaps there’s a little bit of a dependency there but I can handle it. I mean, I’m not hooked or anything. I just like a daily fix of news and gossip and Facebook is a really good place for that and it’s not like I’m on there for hours or anything. Well… No. Definitely not for hours. There’s emails and work and I’m really good at prioritising. But I like socialising too. Thing is, I can do all that now. Yo! Tim Tams. Lots and lots of Tim Tams!

The old salt who opened up the Monaro Christine Maher: Richard Brooks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; From Convict Ship Captain to Pillar of Early Colonial Australia, Rosenberg Publishing Company, Dural NSW, 2016; RRP $29.99

Book Review by Ian Burke

1796 he married Christiana Eliza Passmore, from a family of London merchant seamen with interests in the Mediterranean. While in India, Brooks seems to have learned of the lucrative trade to the infant colony of NSW transporting both convicts and merchandise, particularly rum and spirits which had become the currency of the colony. Between 1801 and 1811, Brooks made five voyages to NSW. The author tells the stories of these voyages in riveting detail. The voyage of the Atlas in 1801 was particularly notorious because of the high death rate of the convicts (72 out of 207 died). However, ROTARY CLUB OF COOMA Brooks escaped serious consequences.

Later in By 5pm on Thursday June 9 2016. 1813 he brought his family from England to settle permanently in NSW as land grants would not usually be made to passing shipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; captains. Christiana Brooks was an intelligent, cultured woman reluctant to leave her life in London, but she soon settled in Sydney. Her sharply observed writing on the politics, society and economy of the infant colony now form a priceless historical record. Richard and Christiana Brooks were very active in the life of the colony, with influential connections including W C Wentworth and the Macquaries. But Brooksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; prime interest was in obtaining land for his stock, which from the early 1820s included sheep as well as cattle, and realising an old sailorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream of becoming a landed proprietor. Attempts by the governors to control the expansion of the colony failed. When the Illawarra was opened up in 1816, Brooks was in the vanguard of settlers in the district. After Lake George was reached in 1820, Brooks was PIECEMAKER - 850 B&S quick to send his men onto the land to its south. When Currie and Ovens reached the Monaro plains in 1823 from Brooksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; station at Lake George, he was soon expanding further south beyond the legal limits of settlement. By this time, his estates, flocks and herds were among the largest in the colony. This book provides answers to some of the questions

Christine Maher has produced a detailed record of the life of the indomitable captain. Her factual account is based on wide research, demolishing some long-held family traditions while confirming others. The engrossing story is engagingly and clearly told, and makes particularly lively reading. Richard Brooks was born in Devon, England, in 1765 to a seafaring family which had engaged in the north Atlantic Newfoundland fishing industry for generations. He went to sea at the age of 10 and became an outstanding seaman. In

The name Brooks needs no introduction to Monaro readers. Captain Richard Brooks was theĂĽ first white settler south of Lake George at â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bungendowâ&#x20AC;? (Bungendore) in 1821. By 1827 he had established the first recorded permanent European settlement on Monaro at Gegedzerick station, near Berridale, which stretched from west of the present airport to Jindabyne and the Snowy Mountains. He was soon followed onto the Monaro by many other squatters.

that have long been raised about Monaro history. One of these was how Brooks came to send his 15 year old youngest son, also named Richard, to take charge of Gegedzerick station. Young Richard had been sent to the Lake George station when just 13. The author explains that the official working age then was 12 and the captain himself had gone to sea at 10. She says that â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was common for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;young mastersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in their teens to be put in charge of a station and managing a large convict workforce with the backup of trusted overseers and family retainers, especially in the outlying districts. The presence of the masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son implied authority and acted as a deterrent to the convicts, who often considered themselves beyond the reach of the law and control.â&#x20AC;? But the human cost was high. Settlement could not be achieved without the virtual slave labour of assigned convicts. Their lot was brutal under terrible conditions, and Brooks the old naval martinet was a hard master. Although he had some sympathy for the emancipist cause (convicts who had served their time and were ready to take a place in society), convicts still under sentence were treated harshly. He had at least 12 executed, and floggings were commonplace. In 1829, two convict shepherds took horses from the Lake George station and proceeded down to the Monaro in an attempt to find a way to the sea. They were apprehended near Gegedzerick and both were hanged. The Aborigines also fared badly. In 1816 (exactly 200 years ago) outright massacre occurred at Appin as the colonists pushed south into the Illawarra. But Brooks is said to have adopted a conciliatory attitude towards them, holding feasts and giving breastplates to their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;kingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Christiana Brooks expressed sympathy when they were understandably provoked by â&#x20AC;&#x153;the outrages committed on them by the stockkeepers, an ignorant and brutal raceâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? But she supported the incursion of soldiers to â&#x20AC;&#x153;ensure safety to our flocks and herdsâ&#x20AC;? and does not appear to have believed that the Aborigines had any real right to the land they had occupied for unimaginable thousands of years, or that anything should stand in the way of possession and use of the land by Europeans. The author says that â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Monaro never suffered from the wholesale violence [against the Aborigines] prevalent at other parts of the frontierâ&#x20AC;?. ven if that is true, the fact remains that within little more than a decade after it was first sighted by Europeans, their land was in the possession of the newcomers and the indigenous people were completely dispossessed of what had been their homelands from time immemorial. The book is somewhat marred by a lack of perspective, in that by focusing on Captain Brooks there is no real comparison with his contemporaries. In many of their attitudes, the Brookses were typical of the people of the time while in some ways they were among the more liberal and advanced. But in the early colonistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; obsession with the accumulation of property and wealth we might see traits that are still prevalent in some segments of Australian society today. On the other hand, Monaro readers may recognise the early origins of skills in bushcraft, land and stock management, and endurance that thankfully for our country are also still evident today.s

CLASS CORNER

CPS gets new special needs bus MHS students participate The idea for a bus for special needs students was originally conceived in 1997 when one of the students in the support class was diagnosed with terminal leukaemia and the school wanted to be able to visit her as a class in Canberra Hospital on a regular basis. At the time, other students in the support class were transported to school by a private car that was unable to continue transportation, thus the need for a bus. The founding committee comprised of Sue Walsh, Caroline McAuley, Tennille Casanova-Sturgeon, Lisa Clugston, Marilyn Gaukroger and Paul Casanova (manager). The Cooma P&C came on board so that they could be insured under their umbrella and Jim Cassilles and Cooma Public principal Marg Downy started fundraising at the end of 1997. The goal was to raise $8,000 for a small second hand wheelchair access bus. They got $4,000

in Law Week

with a huge amount of community support and then the Variety Club offered to match the fundraising and ended up donating $5,000. The first bus was an old blue and white coaster that could seat 12 including four wheelchairs. After many years of transporting they purchased another second hand Mazda bus that was used in the 2000 Olympics. This bus had pickups from Berridale out to Bredbo and within the Cooma township. It was also used by several of the aged care facilities

to transport them to special functions. After 15 years of service they had to purchase another more recent model due to regulations and made the decision to purchase a new bus that will hopefully last many years. After a few reliable drivers and fantastic bus carers, they now have Norm Clarke as a great driver and Mary Stewart as the special carer. Students and parents are very appreciative of them both and are very happy the service is available in this area. In fact, the bus became a bit of an icon

when driven by â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mozâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for a number of years before passing away. The old 2000 model Mercedes bus has eight rear seats and two front seats and is fitted with a wheelchair lift. It is currently for sale and all offers will be considered. People who are interested can contact Paul Casanova at Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Auto Electrics 6452 1384. Thanks for all the community support. Pictured, the community bus.

Teacher Mrs Riley took Monaro High School Year 12 Legal Studies and Year 10 Commerce students to the Cooma Courthouse for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Law Weekâ&#x20AC;?. Former magistrate Chris Bone spoke to them about the personal

and legal implications of alcohol abuse and drug use. The group then had the pleasure of watching a Mock trial. This was a fascinating insight into how the courts work.

School-based traineeship

High School Invites parents and students from all schools across the Monaro to attend:

Year 10 to 11 Information Evening

Monaro High student Bianca Jardine has just signed up for a school based traineeship with Active Achievers Early Learning Centre. She will be required to complete a TAFE course and at least 100 days of employment while she is at school. The traineeship contributes to the high school certificate and Bianca is one of the growing number of students at MHS

completing a school based apprenticeship or traineeship as part of their HSC. Founder of Active Achievers, Sarah Reyes, said this is an opportunity for Bianca to shine by learning and developing her skills in the industry. Bianca has already done around 15 days and will work towards completing the remaining hours and the TAFE course over the next few years.

NSW inland koalas facing extinction Koalas across two thirds of NSW are facing extinction from habitat loss and climate change unless radical measures are taken to reverse their fate, a new environmental report has found. The report, written by former Office of Environment and Heritage ecologist, David Paull, is dedicated to his colleague Glen Turner, who was shot dead by a farmer while investigating landclearing near Moree in July 2014. “We believe no report or data base within Government, either State or Federal, gives such a comprehensive picture of the likely fate of koalas in western NSW which are now facing extinction from continuing land clearing for mining and farming, and intensive logging of native forests,” Mr Paull said. The report breaks down the study area into seven bioregions, including the South East Highlands, South Western Slopes and Brigalow Bioregions. Mr Paull says the report card for koalas in these areas is mixed. “Some Koala populations in the South-East Highlands and South Western Slopes are doing well, particularly those around the Monaro area, though others have shown significant recent decline, especially in the central-west, Parkes and

Murrumbidgee regions. “Patterns of decline in koalas across the state suggest highland areas may be increasingly important for koala survival into the future,” he said. Mr Paull said koalas from the Brigalow Belt South bioregion, which includes the Moree, Pilliga and Gunnedah regions were in serious trouble. “Key populations of Koalas in the Moree, Pilliga and Gunnedah regions are in decline and showing high rates of sickness. Habitat loss and ongoing drought have been decisive factors in the loss of this animal and we are witnessing declines on both private and public

lands,” Mr Paull said. To save Koala populations in NSW the report, commissioned by the Western Woodlands Alliance, and supported by community and environmental groups across NSW, identifies a radical conceptual Koala park of over 4.5 million hectares, across seven bioregions, to preserve and link habitat across all land tenures from the Queensland to Victoria borders. “The Western Woodlands Koala Park proposal calls for extensive additions to the reserve system and substantial incentives for private owners with priority habitat to conserve and manage their remnant habitat,” Mr Paull said. “Critically only 18 per cent of the Koala locations in the study area are in the current reserve system, while 64 per cent are on private land,” he said. He said the report identifies and maps Koala Investment Zones and Private Land Hotspots, which contain priority habitat and important linkages, to be included within the park. The report also comes as the NSW Government unveils new laws which will allow farmers virtually unrestricted ability to clear their land, but also

allocates $240 million for restoring private land. “If an epic and tragic extinction is to be avoided, it’s time to act. Out of the 97 populations we looked at only ten are stable. Most are declining and may well meet the criteria for endangered under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act, others are already gone. “In Australia, Koalas, once prolific from South Australia to Queensland, are now listed as vulnerable in the ACT, NSW and Queensland. Inland Koalas, which represent over half of the total remaining populations in NSW are critical to the survival of this Australian species. If we save the Koalas we also save many other unique Australian animals also facing extinction. The NSW Koala Recovery Plan is failing miserably, while the Federal Government’s Koala Recovery Plan, originally set for release in 2011, is still nowhere to be seen.” For the full report, maps and summary go to www. westernwoodlands. weebly.com Media inquiries: Antonia Liosatos 0458 000 955/David Paull 0455 634 160

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

INTEREST RATES DROP! The recent drop in interest rates by the Reserve Bank is the first movement by them in a year. There has not been a rate rise since late 2010, and there are predictions for perhaps another drop later this year. This is good news for those with an existing mortgage, or those contemplating buying a property. Most of the Banks have passed on the full rate cut, and while most of the standard variable rates will still be around the 5.40% mark, I have the opinion that nobody should be paying the standard variable rate with any bank. Depending on your loan amount, most banks offer an interest discount when you take out their loan package, (an annual fee is usually applicable). For those with a smaller loan amount, it is usually more beneficial to look at a ‘basic’ loan, which has lower interest rates & fees, but doesn’t include extra features on the loan. I can help you decide which is the best option for you. Unfortunately, if you are relying on cash investment returns to live on, it is a different story. It may be time to consider using your cash or equity, to buy an investment property, as rental returns may be a better option for you. Whether you are looking for a new loan, or wanting to review your existing one, I am happy to provide an obligation free assessment of your situation. For investment advice, I can also arrange a meeting with Damian Toms, Financial planner.

Bombala High School athletics carnival Emma Sullivan The 2016 BHS Athletics Carnival was a tremendous success last Friday due to the amount of students who participated throughout the course of the day. As is tradition Yr 12 organized an hour of novelty events to start the day. These events included a tug-of-war, heads and tails and a planking and wall sit competition. A welfare draw was also held in the morning to reward our students who have earned raffle tickets as a result of receiving smilies. Congratulations to Charlie Peisley and Jaimie Farrell who were deserving winners of these $50 local

shopping vouchers. Students then moved to the oval to begin participating in the range of different athletic divisions. Some age groups, namely the 14 year old girls and the 15 year old boys were hotly contested by numerous students throughout the day. 3 records were broken during the day. Dakota Miles claimed the 13 yr old girl shotput record (which has stood for 35 years), Larissa Ponsford smashed the 13 year old girl 800 metres record by almost a minute, and Logan Brownlie equalled the 16 year old boy 100 metre record with a time of 12 seconds flat. Congratulations to

these students for these impressive results. Rockton established a handy lead early in the house pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competition; however Myanba claimed House victory in the dying events (namely the relays) by 2 points. This illustrates how important competition points are and we encourage more students to contribute to these next year. You never know what a difference it may make. Congratulations to the following age champions: 12yrs Kamryn McCulloch and David Cotterill, 13yrs Larissa Ponsford and

Reagan Hurley, 14yrs Leah Luke and Russell Jamieson, 15yrs Storm Worley and Bryson Phillips-Jones, 16yrs Caitlin Regent and Blake Stevenson, 17+ Keiarna Rodwell and Alex Rosten Thanks must go to Yr 10 for their amazing catering throughout the day, and also to the staff

who helped to make such a successful day. Most of all though, congratulations to all of the students of Bombala High School who continue to make our high school the best place to teach. I am proud of all of you who got in and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;had a goâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Looking forward to next year.

Schute Bell wool report Farmers welcome changes to Assistance Advisory Committee NSW Farmers has welcomed NSW Primary Industries Minister Niall Blairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement of changes to the NSW Regional Assistance Advisory Committee (RAAC). NSW Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; President, Derek Schoen has described the changes as an important step to ensuring the NSW Government receives direct advice on existing and likely drought conditions as it makes decisions on assistance measures under the NSW Drought Framework. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We only have to look at the plight of our farmers in the north west of the state, who are entering their fourth year of drought, to know it is the number one production risk for farmers in NSW,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Mr Schoen. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The changes will see the number of farmers represented on the Committee increase, with two appointed farmer representatives joining the chair of NSW Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rural Affairs Committee, Sonia Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe, on RAAC. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The announcement recognises the assessment of seasonal conditions, such as drought, and the options available to support resilient farming business and communities through adverse seasonal conditions should be informed by those directly impacted. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;These appointments will complement the direct advocacy NSW Farmers continues to make on behalf of our farming membership directly to the Minister and the NSW Government on drought policy.

NSW Farmers has signaled a need for the new arrangements to both improve the advice provided to the Government and provide a whole of government focus to the implementation of drought assistance initiatives through its engagement with the Drought Interagency Working Group. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Maximising agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution to the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy and providing the stability to our important regional communities that will enable them to flourish across the variable seasons we face requires a whole of government approach. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It is an imperative that the new arrangements enable RAAC to be a conduit within Government to implement measures that enhance drought preparedness, to ensure resilient businesses and communities during drought and provide pathways to recovery as seasons return to normal.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mr Schoen also thanked outgoing Chair of RAAC, Mr David Palmer for his leadership of RAAC since its inception. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;RAAC commenced at a difficult time for drought policy across Australia and in NSW with the dismantling of the former Exceptional Circumstances policy. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;His knowledge of agriculture and his influence across industry and government have been important to guiding RAAC through this time,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mr Schoen concluded.

The larger offering could have tested buyer support this week but this was more than offset by further declines in the Aussie dollar against the US. In a relatively calm week compared to movements over the past two months the benchmark indicators managed a small gain. Some individual micron categories did go backwards but in general the market was very well supported. 39,770 bales were sold nationally for the week with a passed in rate of six percent. Major buyers included Chinatex, PJ Morris and Techwool. Demand

for low vegetable matter Merino Fleece is strong with premiums being paid as an increasing amount of higher vegetable matter types come onto the market. Forward markets were active for the second week in row with short dated contracts changing hands at levels higher than last week but still below current physical prices. The Northern region indicator closed the week just one cent off its August seasonal high with some individual micron categories pushing above their previous highs. With the West not selling next week the national offering is expected to fall below 30,000 bales. This sales

Wild dogs targeted at Shannons Flat

Thomas Ross Landholders of the Shannons Flat Bredbo Michelago Wild Dog Working Group recently undertook their autumn baiting program as part of the agreed activities within the recently renewed Wild Dog and Fox Management Plan. The plan, which lasts for a period of five years, outlines the strategy and resources that landholders and agencies commit to within the cooperative agreement. The Shannons Flat Bredbo

Michelago Plan has been very successful in reducing stock losses and is a great example of co-ordinated work between landholders, the trappers of South East Local Land Services and the Rangers of ACT Parks and Conservation Service. Baits and training for the program were made available to landholders through the Feral Fighters program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Feral Fighters program is a great initiative that provides poison handling training and free baits to landholdersâ&#x20AC;? says Shannons Flat

landholder, Thomas Ross. Baiting is undertaken in autumn and spring by landholders and agencies in conjunction with on ground trapping provided by specialist Local Land Service Rangers. More information regarding the Feral Fighters program is available from South East LLS. Pictured is landholder Hubert Dixon being issued baits by South East LLS Ranger Robbie Freebody.

Innovative MLA program pilots CLEARING SALE PRELIMINARY NOTICE new approach to research â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Avondaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, Cathcart NSW A/c PE Miller & JH Garland

A new pilot program that focuses on key business profit drivers and lifting the productivity of red meat producers, has been flagged as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;potential game changerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in its approach to on-farm adoption of research and development (R&D) outcomes. Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) has launched the Profitable Grazing Systems pilot as part of a shift in the way it delivers R&D extension and adoption.

MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Manager Livestock Productivity, Dr Jane Weatherley, said the program builds on MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best practice packages of information, tools and events, with a renewed focus on really supporting producers to implement changes in their on-farm management â&#x20AC;&#x153;While MLA has developed a range of highly effective tools and resources over the years and run workshops to help producers understand and implement those, Profitable Grazing Systems takes it to the next level through the use of specialist coaches providing longer-term support and guidance,â&#x20AC;? Dr Weatherley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beef, sheepmeat and goatmeat producers will have the opportunity to utilise this ongoing support to help them identify their business potential, build their skills and make impactful on-farm changes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The program will be delivered to allow flexibility in meeting producersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; regionally relevant needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The aim is

for producers to measure, monitor and manage key business performance indicators and be more confident to make decisions which are informed by data they generate as part of their management systems.â&#x20AC;? The program will focus on topics known to drive profit in red meat production, including business and people management, genetics and reproduction, feedbase, and being an effective contributor to the value chain. The pilot runs until December and if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successful, a full program roll-out is scheduled for 2017. MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent i n d e p e n d e n t performance review showed there is room for improvement in the MLA investment for onfarm adoption of R&D. Dr Weatherley said this program is just one of the ways MLA is working with the industry to overcome the challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As an industry, adoption of R&D is too slow and not being achieved with enough of our producers. One of MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s key strategic objectives is to boost

R&D uptake on-farm and this program aims to directly address that,â&#x20AC;? Dr Weatherley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It also aligns strongly with the Meat Industry Strategic Plan 2020 which states that we need to increase productivity gains in the red meat sector. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In order to do that, we have to continue to build business skills throughout our industry. As the plan says, capability and profitability in the industry are intrinsically linked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe this pilot program will play a key role in achieving that goal because it is designed to give producers confidence to make informed decisions based on evidence to enhance their profitability.â&#x20AC;? The pilot for Profitable Grazing Systems is fully booked. However, producers can register their interest in participating in the full program next year, if the pilot is successful.

Biodiversity reform forums

Rain has improved outlook The rainfall received across most of the state in late April and early May has improved the outlook for the state’s primary producers heading into winter. Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Seasonal Conditions Coordinator Ian McGowen said the May rainfall received has provided around 25-50 mm across most of the state, although areas of the north, northern tablelands, south east and coast received less.

“It was good to see the south, and some areas of the far west and north west received more than 50 mm,” Mr McGowen said. “This has been a welcome relief following the below average rainfall received in April across 25 per cent of the state. “Relative to historical records, April pasture growth was below average across areas of the north west, central west, northern

tablelands, Hunter valley, Sydney basin, south and north coast, but was near average across most of the remainder of NSW. Primary producers are encouraged to visit DroughtHub a onestop online destination for information about farm business and profitability, professional d e v e l o p m e n t opportunities and support programs www. droughthub.nsw.gov.au.

Pictured at the NSW Farmers forum in Cooma last Wednesday are, from left, CEO Matt Brand, Cooma branch president Michael Green, president Derek Schoen, Mr Kristian Holz, Director Biodiversity Reform, NSW DPI and Rick Collis MLC. opportunities to come together to make recommendations that will further improve on what has recently been proposed.” Whilst NSW Farmers welcomes the government’s proposed reforms, the association warned that vital recommendations from a 2014 independent expert panel review had been overlooked in the draft legislation and needed urgent addressing prior to the introduction of the Act. During the forums elements of the recently launched #Farmers4LandReform campaign was also showcased, such as case study videos which show the devastating effect these

laws are having on our farmers. The remaining forums will be held at Coonabarabran – 25th May 1-3pm Coonabarabran Bowling Club, Edwards St Inverell – 30th May 1-3pm Inverell RSM Club, 68-76 Evans St Walgett – 3rd June 1-3pm Walgett Sporting Club, Castlereagh Highway Find more information and get the whole picture at Farmers4LandReform.com. au.

Market Comment: The fifth largest Merino Fleece offering for the season found good demand across most microns but it was the stylish lots with high NKT results which attracted the most support and continued to sell at a premium. A noticeable increase in VM levels compared to this time last year has created significant demand for all low level VM types. Fleece lots with less than 1% VM are becoming increasingly sparse and as a result are selling at a premium. Skirtings followed a similar trend to the fleece market with low VM lots keenly c/kg cln

sought after. Shorter, high VM lots (up to 8%) enjoyed more robust competition as buyers struggled with the limited quantity of the longer low VM types, however very high VM (12%) types maintained their recent discounts. Best style crossbreds continue to reduce in number and the limited supply finished the week fully firm. Merino Cardings received significant buyer support on a limited offering rising around 10 cents for the week. Source AWEX

A small crowd of landholders attended the NSW Famers Association biodiversity reform consultation forum at Cooma ExServices Club last Wednesday. The forum was one of six held across key native vegetation regions as part of the #Farmers4LandReform campaign. The forums were designed to engage NSW Farmers members in the debate on native vegetation and inform the association’s formal submission in response to the government’s draft biodiversity reform package unveiled earlier this month. Attendees heard the draft legislation explained by Department of Primary Industries representative Christian Holz and were able to ask questions and find out more about the impact the reforms could have on biodiversity and their day-to-day business. NSW Farmers CEO Matt Brand said, “This reform is critical to farmers and we want our members and the public to engage with us, and understand our perspective. Our aim to for these forums to help provide clarity on the implications of the draft legislation and facilitate

Bombala junior footballers play host to Moruya This week Bombala hosted Moruya but not all teams were able to play with Moruya unable to make teams for the under 7s or 9s or under 12 years. This could have been very disappointing for some children who have been really enjoying the games each week. However after much discussion it was decided that with the overall enthusiasm of the under 9s team and the number of players registered in their team the could make a second team and play against each other for practice.. The game was surprisingly competitive with the team divided. As it happened the teams were definitely evenly matched and it was the perfect way to improve attack and defence for the under 8s. A big thank you to the players for playing with such spirit and to the parents who chose to let them play the bye just because they love to play together so much. This weeks Milo Match Players were Heidi Brownlie and Tyler Ford for their outstanding effort. Also playing with lots of spirit this week were the under 8s. Definitely not put off when they were down a few troops. The team still played a great game and was competitive all the way to end. Ari Stan and Max Power lead the troops all game with great tackles. Building confidence each week Zara Brotherton managed some great one on one tackles. Jake brown, Tanner Hurley and Josh Tellis put their hands up all game with strong running attack and let’s not forget young Josh bagging heaps of tries. This week Milo Match winner was Ruby Smith.

Cooma Colts play round four at home Full On Constructions and Rhythm Snow Sports Under 6’s The Rhythm Snowsports and Full On Constructions Under sixers found their form again this week, defeating Gungahlin Bulls red 20-12. The kids were much more focused this week and turned up ready to play football. The team started out well, attacking with good ball control. Hunter Hart crossed over for three tries while William Bryan crossed for two of his own. Phillip Jefferies shone this week keeping the bulls attack under control. Ethan Brazulaitis, Nicholas Burchall, and Toby McKenzie were always right behind to assist in defence. The Bulls also had pretty tight defence, but Ben Fox, Harrison Tatton and Junior Morgan were persistently pushing forward and attacking the bull’s defensive line. Medal winner this week is Phillip Jefferies and the McDonalds award goes to Ben Fox. South East Embroidery Under 7’s Round four saw the Cooma Colts take on the Gungahlin Bulls at the Cooma showground. The Colts started out very strongly with a great run from Harper Woolf that saw him cross the line for the first try of the game. Great defence from Jermaine Bartlett and Jesse Hurford shut down any attack the Bulls had coming their way. Great foot work and speed saw Nate Stokes score the second try for the Colts. Aiden Dixon, Kurik Nelson and Riley Williams tackled hard all game. Mitchell Fletcher and Keely-May Usher –Rodahl ran strongly and defended well all game. Jermaine Bartlett had a great game making some big breaks and scored himself a double. The Colts defence slipped away a little, which allowed the Bulls to score three tries in the second third but the Colts came back in the last third with amazing team work and a quick run from Tyler Lee saw him get the last try of the game making the Cooma Colts the winning side with the final score being 20-12. Tries this week were: Harper Woolf (1), Nate Stokes(1), Jermaine Bartlett (2) and Tyler Lee (1) The Medal and award this week went to the whole team as they all played so well as a team. Snowy River Painting Under 8’s – White The Cooma Colts were at home to the Gungahlin Bulls on Sunday going into their fourth game undefeated. The Colts weren’t their usual selves though and allowed the Bulls to cross for two unanswered tries virtually untouched. The Colts stepped it up a little and began to slowly wind the Bulls back in with some solid runs from Cooper Lee, Lachlan Burchall, Jackson Cook, Lachlan Bryan and Kyte Lee with a great run from Riley McKenzie putting first points on the board for the Colts. The Colts showed some glimpses of their solid defence through a number of the sets on their goal line with an outstanding effort from Othon Morgan and Bailey Benn throughout the game. The Colts hit back again through a quick dummy half run from Othon Morgan to level the game only for the Bulls to pull away again with another easy try. The Colts kept in touch with the Bulls with a very solid run from Bailey Benn who managed to bust through the Bulls line and cross for his first try of the season, but the Colts couldn’t keep up the intensity and the Bulls ran away with the game 24 to 14 in the end. Try scorers for the Colts were Riley McKenzie, Othon Morgan and Bailey Benn. Conversion to Riley McKenzie. Medal winner was Riley McKenzie the Maccas award went to Lachlan Burchall. Monaro Constructions Under 8’s – Black Round Four saw the Cooma Colts under eights Black playing at Cooma. Their opposition, the Queanbeyan Roos White travelled down with

a strong team. The Queanbeyan team were far too good for our boys on the day, but the Colts didn’t stop trying and chased all day when they had to defend. It’s great to see this new team improve each week, and they don’t give up. Being a team of only six players at the moment we must thank the other under eights team, the Cooma Colts White, in being able to lend us players so we can make up a team each week. This week we had Bailey Ben and Jackson Cook, thank you to these two boys for their help. For our team, Colby Douch ran strongly with the ball and took home the players medal for the week. Laith Podger in only his second game was not afraid to take on much big opponents. Rhylee Rosenbaum-Robinson, was great from

dummy half, and made metres when he got a chance to run. Manson Sandeberg marked up in defence and tried all day and was able to break through to score his team’s only try. James Burke always broke the first line of defence with his powerful running style. Blaze Podger is very quick, and is improving with each game he plays. Well done to the boys on their fourth game, with each game seeing improvements in how they play the game and a big thank you to the Cooma Colts Under Eights Black team sponsors Monaro Constructions. Monaro Panel Beaters Under 9’sThe Monaro Panel Beaters u9s played their second home game of the season against the Belconnen Sharks, who proved to be a huge challenge for the young Colts side. Awesome defence from man of the match Jack Dunn, Dempsey Woolf and Tyrell Bartlett helped the Colts repel the Sharks from scoring. With strong runs from Jett Kelly, Natasha Kelly, new man Ben Smith and Lach Skye, kept the Colts in the game. Rylee Holland was outstanding playing with a busted arm and Archie Blyton was strong as usual, Connor Nelson and Wyatt Hurford led the side around the field very well, Khian Flanagan and Hunter Caldwell both played a huge part in the game. The final score being a draw at 18 all. Thank you to everyone for your help and support. Sportspower Cooma Colts Under 10’s The Cooma Sports Power U10’s had their toughest game to date against the Woden Valley Rams. The first half proved that all the Colts had turned up to play and play hard. Under pressure from the kick off the Colts defended their line like their life depended on it. Thomas Rudd threw himself at everything that came his way. Mitchell Reid continues to improve every week and his hard work paid off with a quick dash to score for the Colts and he converted his own try. He then chased down a kick to score again in the second half. Charlie Fleming led the way with hard straight running and worked tirelessly in defence keeping the pressure on the Rams attackers. Lee Morgan again worked hard in defence and picked his times to run from dummy half and crossed the line again this game. Cameron Filtness showed he is the all rounded player working hard in first receiver to give good ball, tackling hard and kicking down the field to get the colts out of trouble when needed. The middle of the field was held strong by Zane Usher-Rodhal and Judah-Fai Filiga who both tackled strongly and stepped up to take some hard straight runs to set up the Colts wide attackers. Rhys Cleverly and Clayton Clarke both made some darting straight runs and chased down the Rams attackers out wide. Joshua Williams showed that with a little grunt and a bit of determination that the metres can be made. Tyler Walden and Hugh Waldren both got in the mix with Tyler belting the ball up in attack and Hugh rapping the ball up in defence. Lucas Umback, Jack Roberson and Jacob Smith all shared the workload around with Lucas running hard, Jack getting in and tackling well and Jacob working hard from dummy half. The final score of 32 – 16 to the Rams did not reflect the game at all. The boys showed that they can mix it up with one of the top teams in the comp and should all hold their heads high with effort they put in. Tries scorers were Mitchell Reid 2, Lee Morgan 1. Conversions Mitchell Reid 1, Cameron Flitness 1. Player of the week was Charlie Fleming, Hitman Award went to Mitchell Reid. Continued page 46

The stand out of next week’s competitions will be another major event with the Autumn Cup run on Saturday, an 18-hole stroke event. There will be a Medley Stableford on Wednesday (off the white tees for the men) and another Medley Stableford on Sunday.

Cooma Colts play round four at home Highland Ground Spreading under 11’s The Highland Ground Spreading Under 11’s had their usual hard fought game with Crookwell on the weekend. Crookwell were well-drilled, and their defensive line was nearly impenetrable. The Colts had a new player join their team, Kristian Zusak, who ran well and was solid in defence. Crookwell kicked on the fifth tackle and the Colts fumbled it. The Crookwell side was quick to gather it in and score. Maison Turner made some good weaving runs to gain valuable ground, and the defence from Justin McDonald and Louis Mould kept the Colts in the hunt. Solid runs from the big diesel engine, Deizel Barratt, set the platform. Justin McDonald found some open ground, and sped away to score, leaving it six-all at the break. Super subs Tom Bromfield, Cooper Inskip, Jack ‘Thumper’ McPherson and Jacory Hart were on to bolster the middle and with Jacory on the fringe. After being driven back five metres in a hard tackle, Jack ‘Frosty’ Kleven did the same back to a much bigger boy, driving him back in a copy book tackle. After another dropped ball by the Colts, Crookwell had good field position, and took the advantage to score. The Colts responded with Jordan Williams, who jinked off the right foot and with a turn of speed, raced away untouched. Twelve all. Crookwell crossed again shortly after, to lead by six. Talon Kelly at dummy half, scooted several times making good ground. He caught the defence napping finally, and snuck through to score, eighteen-all. With minutes remaining, Cooma were pressing Crookwell’s line, but unfortunately were unable to post the winning points before the siren. It was a ding dong battle that ended in a draw! Best and fairest points: Louis Mould (3), Justin McDonald (2) and Talon Kelly (1). Choc awards: Charlie Wiggins and Louis Mould. Medal: Justin McDonald. Mainstreet Under 12’s The Main Street under 12’s took on Gungahlin Bulls Silver to grab their first win of the season with the final score of 44-12. The team trained hard all week and it

showed on game day. Lachlan bagged a hat trick, and Jonah, James, Jack, Kayla and Shawn all scored a try. We had some great goal kicks with Adam, Jonah, Lachlan, Tirone, Jack and Doron all putting their kicks straight over the black dot. Cooper, Conor and Jacob all had a great game and you could see that their confidence is building. Aron, Cody, Barrett and Sam had a big game with all four of them making some huge tackles. Lachlan was player of the week. Aron won the canteen award. Kayla was awarded 3 points, Jonah 2 points, Jack and Lachlan 1 point. Thanks as always to our sideline parents Phil, Jono and Jane. Big thanks also to Fred Staples for doing mini lotto for the team. Franks Butchery Under 13’s The Cooma Colts U13s second home game of the season was against Gungahlin Bulls. The Colts got on top of the opposition from the opening whistle and kept it up all game. Strong running by Ty McKenzie, James Dyball and Hudson Laird laid the platform for Travis Kelly and Brock Halls to move the ball wider and exploit the defence. Try scorers were Clinton Filtness and James Dyball scoring two tries each, with Jake Galvin, Hudson Laird, Travis Kelly, Ty McKenzie and Remi Braddemanne successful in scoring one try each. Remi also kicked seven goals for a final score of Cooma Colts 50 and Gungahlin Bulls 0. Best and fairest points went to Jake Galvin with 3 points, who was everywhere in attack and defence, Ty McKenzie 2 points for his hard running and jarring defence and Colby McDonald receiving 1 point for his usual busy game. Thanks to the three under 12 players who backed up and contributed to the convincing win. Mc Donald’s Cooma Under 15’s A near full strength Colts Under 15s took to the field against West Belconnen in their first home game of the year. Cooma struck first with Nick Coote barging over under the sticks from close range with Bailey Rogers having no trouble adding the extras. Damon Fanning led from the front

with some huge carries back off the kick off but silly mistakes and poor ball control allowed West Belconnen into the match where they hit back with a try of their own but failed to convert. West Belconnen gained the upper hand, however, the Colts boys were able to withstand their attack with some excellent goal line defence with Archie Allen pulling off a try saving tackle. This seemed to lift the boys and in the next set of six, Nick Zusak made a break up the field where Darnell Bartlett scored from the next play. Bailey had his kicking boots on and took the score out to 12-4. With only seconds to play in the first half, Cooma chanced their arm out wide only for West Belconnen’s winger to take an Intercept and run the length of the field to make the half time score 12-8. Some strong words to the boys at half time seemed to spark them into action. An early dropped ball from West Belconnen immediately put Cooma on the front foot. Sean Dixon and Nick Coote got Cooma over the advantage line and into an attacking position. Will Dean showed some quick feet and stood up the West Belconnen defence to extend Cooma’s lead. Simple mistakes let West Belconnen into the game but the boys online defence held firm. Keegan Caldwell excited the large Cooma crowd with an 80m try under the sticks which Bailey converted. The forwards continued to lay a platform for the backs to show off and a nice play put Remy Oldrey through to score and Bailey added the extras. Cooma then lifted and played their best 15mins of footy to date with structure and discipline to put West Belconnen to the sword. James threw a nice inside ball to Bailey to score then a crisp backline play through the hands put Kobe Watts in for his first try of the year out wide. Cooma ran away winners 38-8. An excellent second half where the boys kept West Belconnen scoreless and showed some real promise when they played to the game plan. Player of the day went to Damon Fanning. Continued on page 46

First grade and High Heelers shine for Bombala Reserve Grade edged out

First Grade 34-26 victory With both teams keen to stamp their authority on their ladder position this game was always going to be a hotly contested one, and it did not disappoint. Only one minute in Eden scored out wide showing some fierce enthusiasm. However the Bombala boys would find the line through Andrew Guthrie only five minutes later. The score line was very even throughout the first half, Charlie Lomas and Mitch Lynch also gained points in the first half for the Heelers through great running game and safe hands, along with Wame Turaganivalu’s great conversion game the score at half time was 16-14 in the home team’s favour. While the penalty count did not ever seem in the Heelers favour, it meant the home team had to lift even further if they were going to take this victory. Joe Bobbin proved instrumental in leading and firing up his team mates up after half time. Sam Buinimasi noticeably injected himself into the game, proving almost impossible to handle for the Eden defence and showing some great pace and foot work to set up a try out wide. Tyler Jones bagged his own try showing fantastic skill in attack, while the Anderson brothers, Chris and Andrew proved they are instrumental

to this team, always with reliable solid defence yet the skills to both put points on the board. Kurt Lomas had a fantastic game, proving himself as he steps up from Reserve Grade, tackling and gaining metres like he has been playing first grade for years. Another fantastic recruit from Reserve grade was Richard Stewart; his ability to shut down any attacking onslaught was admirable to watch. The Heelers did lift in the second half and they ended up winning 34-26. Players Player and 3 points went to Sam Buinimasi (jumper number 8 sponsored by Southern Stockyard and Fencing), 2 points was shared between Kurt Lomas (jumper number 17 sponsored by Cottrell Toyota) and Andrew Anderson (jumper number 7 sponsored by Dane Cottrell Transport) and 1 point went to Richard Stewart (jumper number 3 sponsored by Bobbin Rustic Creations). The Bombala & District RLFC would like to thank all their major sponsors especially the Bombala RSL Club for their ongoing support and hospitality for presentations after the game. Round eight will see the Bombala teams travel to Batemans Bay where all three grades will look to hopefully further advance their points on the ladder. A big thanks to all those who help out, cheer and travel to support these Bombala teams, see you all at the Bay.

The Bombala Reserve Grade team took the field against the BermaguiCobargo Eels and just six minutes in, the away team put points on the board. The game was tightly contested for the next 20 minutes proving a tough battle of the forwards up the middle. The injection of James Coates at hooker provided great experience and solid defence for the heelers up the middle, James’s talk and organisation comes as a welcoming hand to captain coach Clay Stewart. Nick Rosten’s classy footwork and powerful running saw him find the line eventually; the scores were all locked up 6-6. Matthew Stone proved vital for the Heelers goforward lugging the ball up and gaining valuable metres for the home team. Chris Halligan’s ability to power through the defensive line saw him gain points in the 35th minute for the Heelers team. But not to be outdone, the Eels were able to capitalise on errors made from the kick-off and were able to hit straight back out wide taking the score to a close 12-10 in Heelers favour at half time. After half time it was ‘tit for tat’ on the score board

High Heelers win 22-6

The High Heeler ladies were out to prove their worth as table top contenders following their first loss last week. With a few key players still missing this week, the depth of this team is proving more and more valuable. A bursting run from Georgie Clarke with a classy offload to Patrice Clear would see early points to the Heelers. Janine Jamieson showed great skills running the ball back from kicks and Amy Stone was impressive out wide running great lines and support play. However the Tigers were relentless and capitalised on getting good field possession on the back of High Heeler unforced errors.

with Bombala scoring but then allowing the Eels to hit back. Chris Halligan baggged his second of the day and Alex Rosten showed lightning pace to run 80m to score for the Heelers. By the 60th minute the score was 24-20 in favour to the home side. However with fatigue and unforced errors, the momentum shifted away from the home team and they were unable to keep the Bermagui-Cobargo team out. At 24-24 it was almost an impossible conversion from out wide on the sideline, however the precision kick never looked like missing and the Eels came back to snatch victory from the home side 26-24. Player’s player and 3 points went to James Coates (sponsored by Southern Stockyards and Fencing), 2 points went to Matthew Stone and 1 point went to Nick Rosten. Going into the sheds at half time 6-0 the Heeler girls knew they were going to have to lift to be able to put this win away. It was Captain Patrice Clear showing the way leading by example again, relentless in defence and somehow finding the energy to bag her second try of the day. Tash Stewart showed great leadership stepping into the unfamiliar role of fullback given injuries and ran the ball back with great determination. Tash was able to split the defensive line to get her own try only minutes into the second half. Chloe Murphy continued her fine form, fiercely running the ball back at the defence and always putting her body on the line to make great tags. A classy shift of the ball to the right through the fast feet and hands of Abbey Ingram allowed Tanika Hampshire to find the line out wide, by the 40th minute the Heelers led 22-0. However the Eden Tigers never say die attitude was admirable and the tired weary legs of the High Heeler girls couldn’t keep the Eden girls scoreless. The final score ended 22-6 in the Heelers favour. Player’s player and 3 points went to Patrice Clear (sponsored by Clear Cut Electrical and Rural Services), 2 points went to Tash Stewart (sponsored by Raw Strength Bombala) and 1 point was shared between Amy Stone (sponsored by Bibbenluke Stock Horse Stud) and Chloe Murphy (sponsored by Final Touches).

Stallions struggle against Moruya in four grades

Funding boost for Cooma sports groups

First grade down 20 - 4 The Cooma Stallions travelled to Moruya to take on the undefeated Sharks in round 7 of the Group 16 competition. With Moroya coming off a 100 to nil win the match was always expected to be a hard and fast clash and had the crowd on their feet several times throughout the game. The defence of both sides was critical in the way the game played out in a very physical encounter. Moroyta crossed for a try in the fifth minute but failed to convert eaving the score line at four nil. After the settling down period Cooma’s forwards piled on the pressure moving the ball out through quick hands and started to look dangerous but they ran in to some handling problems. Moruya was awarded a penalty and capitalised with a try in the seventh minute, yet again failing to convert. Moroya looked to take control of the game and crossed again in the 12th minute, this time converting to take the score to 14 nil. The Stallions rallied and stuck it to Moroya and both teams remained scoreless for the remainder of the half. Halftime saw captain coach Todd Williams settle his troops and as the second half began it became obvious the pep talk had taken effect as the Stallions settled in to rhythm that started to look positive. In the 53rd minute quick hands saw Tim Knight find the line in the corner. The conversion was unsuccessful taking the

score to 14-4. Astin Nunan and his partner Kyle High took control of the game and started to get the team moving. For the next 17 minutes’ play was hard and fast with the temperature hovering around 24C. A few controversial decisions went both ways but in the 70th minute Moruta crossed for another try close to the posts and converted to take the score out to 20 to four. Cooma responded well add piled on pressure for the next 10 minutes but failed to add points. The full time score was 20 to 4 and the crowd showed their appreciation of the great match. Williams said he is very impressed with the way his team played and is taking lots of positives away from the game. “We stuck it to them, it was the hardest footy they’ve played all year. I asked the boys to match the as long as they could. We certainly made a statement in the competition,” he said. “It was a gutsy effort, they really stood up. I’m very proud of the boys.” The Stallions will meet Moruya again in round 14 at the Cooma Showground and it is anticipated to be the game of the season leading in to the finals. Cooma will be travelling to Narooma on Sunday and would like to see their great supporter base travel along. Every one of the Stallions players gave 100% and the game was a great crowd pleaser with both sides supporters.

Pictured, Member for Monaro John Barilaro, Bronnie Taylor MLC, Snowy Monaro Regional Council administrator Dean Lynch and general manager Joe Vescio with members of the Cooma Gymnastics Club. Sports clubs in Cooma will benefit from NSW Government funding to upgrade their premises as part of the 2015/16 Local Sport Grant Program. The Member for Monaro John Barilaro announced $10,000 for the Cooma Bowling Club and $8,420 for the Cooma Gymnastics Club. Funding will be used to make improvements to club facilities. “Sport is a huge part of our way of life here in Cooma,” said Mr Barilaro. “The NSW Government recognises that sometimes clubs need a helping hand to fund projects ensuring local facilities are improved and up to scratch. “We are committed to delivering the best infrastructure to the people of this

region and I look forward to seeing the benefits of this upgrade for the community.” Mr Barilaro said the main aim of the 2015/16 Local Sport Grant Program is to increase regular and on-going participation opportunities in sport and active recreation in NSW. “We all know that sport is incredibly important for health and wellbeing, as well as bringing people in the community together,” said Mr Barilaro. “Whether it be funding towards training programs to secure more volunteer coaches or helping what that much needed change room upgrades, these grants are designed to encourage people to keep active.”

Reserves heart-breaking defeat The Stallions headed down to sunny Moruya on Sunday to take on the reigning premiers in what promised to be a great game. In weather more suited to beach volleyball both sides displayed rugby league of a high standard and both sides posted two tries in a very even contest to have the Stallions ahead by 10 points to eight at halftime, Once again the emphasis to retain structure in defence and attack was stressed by Coach Lloyd at half time. The Stallions dominated the opening stanza of the second half and posted some quick tries

to extend their lead to 22 points to 8 with only 10 minutes remaining After their second disallowed try of the match the Stallions gave up the momentum and the Moruya side scored the winning try right on fulltime to inflict a heart-breaking defeat on the Stallions Even the Moruya coach agreed that the better side lost on the day. This was another match that should have gone our way and a lesson in closing out a match is needed.

Fillies continue to improve The Cooma Fillies lost game eight of the season, 62 to Nil against a top four side in the Moruya - Sharkettes. After being down by 42 points at half time the ladies really dug deep and their teamwork and extra commitment really paid dividends with a much improved display. The improved defensive effort led to more opportunities in attack which almost resulted in points. Well done and a big thankyou to the Stallions and supporters who all continue to offer support

and or advice to the ladies, it is very much appreciated. In the Players Player voting for the Fillies, Molly Janota was awarded the 3 points, Erin Donnelly received 2 points and Yasmin Williams and Katey Patricks received 1 point each. Next Sunday the Fillies face another tough task against the defending premiers Narooma at Narooma. The ladies are hoping to improve the result they achieved against Narooma in round 1.

Under 18s undermanned The Under 18’s had an early start travelling down Moruya beat us 82 to nil. to Moruya with only 14 players. The boys tried hard all day however with This was not an ideal situation to be in limited numbers on the field was reflected in the considering Moruya’s strong side. Our defence score. Players player went to Dan Swain. let us down big time and unfortunately playing The Under 18’s have a bye next week which with only 10 players for the last 15 minutes gives the boys time to recover. definitely didn’t help the situation.

Alpine boaters warning Roads and Maritime Services advises boaters to remain vigilant and be extremely cautious in the Alpine Lakes region due to lower than usual water levels. A Roads and Maritime spokesperson said the lower water level means previously navigable waters may now be hazardous due to rocks below the surface and exposed outcrops. “The start of the trout season will see many more boats out on the Alpine Lakes but the lower than normal water levels have created a number of hazards which may not be obviously visible from the surface,” the spokesperson said. “Roads and Maritime marked several areas at Lake Eucumbene to warn boaters of potential hazards, but given the size of the lake it’s impossible for each and every one to be marked. “Skippers are urged to navigate with caution at all times particularly in the alpine environment which is unique with its rapidly changing water levels

and extreme weather conditions.” Alpine waters refers to areas including all navigable waters within the Kosciuszko National Park, including Blowering and Talbingo Reservoirs along with Lake Burrinjuck, Lake Eucumbene and Lake Jindabyne among others. “All navigable waters within alpine waters present their own unique boating challenges and while several hazards have been marked, water levels fluctuate and more hazards may develop just under the surface,” the spokesperson said. “The higher altitude means weather often changes quickly, so proper trip preparation and continuous monitoring of the weather when you are out on the water is essential. Skippers should take note of any warnings issued and be prepared to change plans if necessary. Wearing a lifejacket is also compulsory for all occupants of boats under 4.8 meters and when wearing waders on alpine waters”.

Piggies lose to Mudchooks The Jindabyne Bushpigs travelled to Bungendore to take on the undefeated competition leaders, Bungendore Mudchooks. The Bushpigs went down in a physical encounter, defeated 52-15. Jindabyne had a pleasing start to the match, opening the scoring with a try out wide to centre Adrian Butters (Marshall Batteries). Halfback Connor Duncombe (The Brumby Bar and Bistro) returned to the team after originally planning to depart to Queensland following the Bushpigs’ previous match. He scored the side’s second try of the half, stealing the ball from the back of the opposition’s scrum 15 metres out. However, the Mudchooks led 24-10 at the break through three converted tries and a penalty. The Bushpigs hoped to turn the tables in the second half and showed some positive signs as centre Rob Morris (Karteve Constructions) crossed to score under the posts. Unfortunately he left his kicking boots at home, missing the conversion from in front! It made little difference

though, as the Bushpigs’ defence leaked too many tries, including one in the 80th minute to take the Mudchooks’ tally above the halfcentury. Coach Matt Caldwell felt the score line didn’t reflect the quality of the game, and if Jindabyne can tighten up its defence and discipline at the breakdown, it will be able to challenge the benchmark team. Despite the team’s loss, there were some outstanding individual efforts in attack and defence from the Bushpigs. Coach’s points went to flanker Tallow Baillie (Alpine Law) (3 points), prop Steven Romppanen (Snowy Mountains Crash Repairs) (2 points), and centre Adrian Butters (Marshall Batteries) (1 point) while number 8 Brad Sanders (James Alexander Associates) was awarded Player’s Player. The result sees the Bushpigs remain in fifth place on the competition ladder, one win away from the top four. Next Saturday May 27 is another road trip: heading to the coast to take on Broulee at Broulee.

Red Devils U14 s outclassed The Footy God’s blessed Rotary with a wonderful Autumn day, with the Cooma Red Devils U14s taking on the Vikings in the first match of the morning. The boys had been putting in at training and were keen to put there newly acquired skills to the test. The game started very frantically with both teams keen to the breakdown, the Vikings were first to score through the middle. Soon after they were in again, this stirred the boys on and for a 10 min period Cooma were gaining the upper hand. A couple of tries against the flow of play for the Vikings just before halftime, had the score 24-0 Vikings. The second half got away from the boys and the Vikings ran away winners 73-0. The coach has the boys starting to train twice a week now, which will improve some fitness. Points on the day were Will Cahill 3, James

Dyball 2 and Will Lehrmann 1

Piglets watershed moment The under 10 First Tracks Piglets played at home against West’s on the weekend in what can only be described as a watershed moment for the team. Now boasting four girls in the side, the team won 50 to 7 in a game that was more about the technical rugby displayed by the young team than the final score. In a polished performance by the forwards, they dominated the ruck and set play, led from the front by Charlie Klemm and Rennie Falconer, allowing our half back Kane Davis a feast of clean ball, which enabled him to score two great individual tries and to set the backs up for many more. This will be good preparation for next week as we go to battle against St Eddies at Eddies, which is always a test for our teams. Congratulations to Joseph Connelly our best and fairest on the day and Owen Thrum for winning player’s player. Under 11’s Gloria Jeans Piglets 54-7 winners against Queanbeyan Tries to: Thomas Old (3), Patrick Broe (2).

Fundraising day to help lady bowlers state aims Coming up on Saturday May 28 will be the battle of the year when the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pennant team will give the Ladies Pennant team some practice in preparation for their trip to the Shoalhaven Region to contest the State Final in Grade four Pennants. There will also be Social Bowls on that day with a midday lunch for just $20 for both. The green fees for the day are to be donated to the overall fund. This is a fund raising day to give the Ladies some assistance in off setting their costs in representing the Club. Remember, this is a State Competition and deserves our full support. Some times bowls matches start out looking like it will be a walkover for one side. Such was almost the case when Renate Winckel and Bill McDonald played Mary Phillips and Ron Wainwright when the latter pair had a 7/1 lead. Unfortunately this was quickly reversed with Renate and Bill establishing a 16/10 lead and going on to win 21/17. Maureen and Guilio Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Amico kept Sergio Roncelli and Mario Frezza on five shots for five ends and then advanced their score to 18/7. By keeping Maureen and Guilio on 18 for six ends Sergio and Mario drew closer at 13/18 but were only able to share the shots for the last four ends to give the Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Amicos victory 20/15. The close match for the day was Innes Rees, Mary Boller and Mick Mayhew v Mary Hilton, Bob Douglass and Peter Harris. Mary, Bob and Peter trailed 8/15 on end 14. Consistent play brought them level 17/17 on 20 but the effort must have been too much as Innes, Mary and Mick scored the necessary one shot on the last end to win 18/17 Judy Locker, Max Butler and Geoff Venables were leading Max Povey, Alby Marshall and Paul Cannell 13/7 then scored a five and a three to advance to 21/7. Max, Alby and Paul then won five ends but not by big enough margins to completely retrieve the situation and went down 19/25. Saturday saw the commencement of the Minor Pairs with eight teams involved in calm warm weather. Ken Rees and Paul Cannell had an early battle with Robbie Roberson and Mick Mayhew to be 6/6 on end eight and trailed 8/13 at the half way point. Ken and Paul spent the next five ends on eight and had to look on as Robbie and Mick went further ahead, eventually winning 25/12.

Peter Harris and Ron Wainwright made a great start against Skip Hamilton and Mark Buckley to lead 12/3 on end 11 and did not relax in going on to win 20/10. Max Butler and Bob Douglass held a small 8/6 lead over Mario Frezza and Peter Marsicano on end eight but dropped eight shots to one over the next three ends and despite a late rally by Max and Bob, it was Mario and Peter who won the match 24/18. Sergio Roncelli and Steve Seears kept the pressure on Allan Crowe and John Schoon for nine ends to trail 8/9. Allan and John then found their range and gradually moved ahead to run out winners 21/14. So the scene was set for the semi-finals on Sunday with (skips only) Mick Mayhew v Ron Wainwright and Peter Marsicano v John Schoon Peter Harris and Ron Wainwright had a real battle against Robbie Roberson and Mick Mayhew and trailed by just one shot (6/7) on end 11. Four ends later they trailed 6/12 but then scored four shots on end 16 and another four on 19 to lead 15/13. Robbie and Mick scored two shots on each of the remaining two ends for a narrow 17/15 victory and a place in the final. Mario Frezza and Peter Marsicano scored four shots on the first end and another four on the fourth to lead Allan Crowe and John Schoon 8/3, a lead they extended to 11/7 on eight. Allan and John then scored four shots on nine and again on 11 to lead 15/12. From that point on Allan and John took control and Mario and Peter were only able to score on three

more ends with Allan and John moving into the final 27/16. The final, Allan Crowe and John Schoon v Robbie Roberson and Mick Mayhew is scheduled to be played on Sunday 29th May. The final of the Mixed Pairs is also scheduled for that day but may be played earlier. The remaining Semi-final in Mixed Pairs, was also played on Sunday with Mary Murphy and Daniel Clough v Maureen and Guilio Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Amico. This was going along nicely for both pairs until end 10 when Mary and Daniel scored six shots and went further ahead with seven on 13 to give them a 26/12 advantage and went on to win 33/16. The closing date for entries in the Minor Singles has been extended to Sunday June 5 with first round due to be played on Saturday June 18. Any players wishing to play their first round match early may do so but please let bowls secretary Guilio know that you are doing so.

Cats fifteen point loss to ADFA Rams

The CCFC Southern Cats faced the ADFA Rams at footy park. With a number of key players missing from the team like key midfielders Steven Bahr and Nick Thomas and the hard hitting Nick Griffiths, along with key defenders Sam Hunter and Nathan Runge, and the forward line missing key players in Daniel Wicks and Zach Bowden, this week was going to truly test the Southern Cats depth. The Sourthern Cats welcomed Anthony Sexton for his first game this season after an injury in the preseason, Anthony adds strength to the backline squad. Before the start of the game the Cats suffered another blow to the starting lineup with key full forward Brad Clarke as a late withdrawal from the side. The first quarter started with The Rams scoring first and taking control of the game kicking two majors in the first half of the quarter, The Cats fought back taking control off the Rams and kicking two majors of their

own. The first quarter was closely contested around the ground between the Cats physical players and the Rams lighter bodies with leg speed. First quarter score, Cats 2.4-16/ Rams 2.618 The second quarter saw the cats starting strong taking the lead from some physical strength in front of goal from Matt Braint and Tim Gray of the back of hard work out of the midfield from Troy Edwards and Khai Mcpherson and ruck Tony Fleming who hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had any breaks from the field. As the quarter rolled on key defender Jayden Pappas retired from the game with a concussion from putting his body on the line for his teammates. This opened the game up for the Rams who quickly made use of a mismatch in our backline, but tough defence killing the ball in front of goal by rushing through a number of behinds, had The Ramsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lead out to sixteen points by half time. Half time scores- Cats 4.6-30/Rams 6.10-

46. At the half time break the coach made a change by moving our only tall opinion in the forward line Mitch Camron into the centre half back position. He also touched on the keys points to get back in control of the game again for the second half. The third quarter started with Troy Edwards getting first centre clearance to Tim gray who kicked the first goal with in seconds of the start of the quarter. The Cats continue to control the game and started using the stronger bodies in the contest around the ground kicking four goals to three. Troy Edwards with the likes Khai Mcpherson in the middle and the defenders Anthony Sexton and captain Taylor Lee, as well as Matt Braint up front led the way for teams to win the quarter. Also Jordan Lopas who was moved from the backline right into the midfield did it tough supporting his teammates. Sadly even winning the quarter saw the Rams hold a small lead at the end of the quarter.

Three quarter time scores- Cats 8.9-57/ Rams 9.12-66 The Final quarter saw the Cats take back the lead and hold it in one of the toughest quarters of football so far this season with both sides truly wanting the win the game. In the last 6 mins of the quarter the Rams leg speed gave them the edge over the Cats kicking two late goals. Until that time the defenders with support from the midfielder teammates rushed the ball in for a number behinds again cutting of any chance of a goal, then pushing themselves into attack with control of the ball into the forward line. The Cats lack of tall players in the forward saw the Rams tall defenders run in numbers with the ball out of their backline only to meet our now nearly dead on their feet midfielders who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop, giving their all for the club to trying to win the game. Final score Cats 11.9-75 Rams 12.18-90.

May Field and Game shoot mixed target challenge Cooma Field and Game lucked a break in the windy weather on Sunday for its mixed target challenge shoot. It wasn’t totally calm but certainly better than some of the weather that has been encountered on the Monaro in the last couple of weeks. It doesn’t take much of a breeze to affect a clay target that ways 105grams travelling at 75km/hr so some targets proved a challenge as the wind mainly on the higher targets took its toll. The set up crew created a great combination of mixed targets with eight stations most of which were tucked on the leeward side of the Middlingbank range. The 36 shooters in attendance enjoyed a light hearted day with some excellent results making it to the scoreboard. Chris Davis Managed a perfect round of 25 with an overall total of 89/100, This is impressive given the wind and the fact that Chis only makes it to half a dozen shoots a year Other results. AA. 1st.

Things have quietened down after our Open tournament. Maybe the windy weather is proving too much of a challenge. Only a small field contested the 18 hole stableford on May 7. This was won by Carolyn O’Byrne with 38 points. She has been playing very consistently with her new clubs. Jenny O’Byrne was just one shot behind and recorded 37 points. A beautiful autumn day last Wednesday attracted a large field for the nine-hole medley. This was won by Clare Nowland who played a fantastic game with her fairway play a stand-out. Clare had 21 points. Denise Ashcroft was the runner-up with 20 points. Denise was particularly pleased with her game as she sunk many ‘one’ putts.

Coote outstanding at Mt Gladstone hillclimb

With a total of 30 entries, a couple of ‘offs’ and early retirements, Sunday’s Mount Gladstone Hill Climb was eventful but overall was judged to have been a good day. After a total of five runs, and on a day where five junior (under 18) drivers took to the track, Jackson Frew put in the fastest junior time for the day in the Datsun Wagon he shared with his father Peter with an outstanding 48.07s. This time was also good enough to win the Type 3 2001-3000cc Class. Overall fastest time of the day was once again set by Brendan Coote in his Peugeot GTi with a best of 42.15s on his third run. This was also Brendan’s fastest time ever up Mount Gladstone by .04s. A number of the class competitions were very closely contested, including the Type1-2 0-1600cc class where Rogan Corbett just prevailed with his first run time of 49.35s in his Nissan Pulsar, just ahead of Jakob Edwards who had a best of 49.82s in the Toyota Paseo he shared with his son Maxamillion. Junior driver Maxamillion improved markedly over the day to record a very good best of 49.58s in his last run. The Type 1-2 1601-2000cc class was once again tightly contested with a total of four entries.

Brett Piggott showed that great balance really counts to win this class in his Toyota 86 with a best time of 47.45s. Second fastest in this class was Harry Katsanevas in his Renault Clio1 with a best of 48.18s, and third was junior driver Nick Coote in a Peugeot 206 GTi 180, even though he completed only one run. First time junior driver Georgia Heeley improved by more than 16s over five runs to finish with a very credible fastest time of 64.14s in her Holden Astra. Four drivers also contested the Type 1-2 over 3000cc class. Dean Godfrey was fastest on the day with a best time of 44.51s, ahead of James Schorn in his Holden Commodore SS with a best of 45.3s. Third fastest was Grant Poll in his Ford Falcon XR8 with a best time of 47.59s. The Type 3 AWD over 3000cc class had five entries. James Pirozzi was fastest in his Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX with a fastest time of 42.77s, second was Gareth Rees in his Nissan Skyline with a fastest of 44.32s and third was Mark O’Mally in his Subaru Impreza WRX with a best time of 45.18s.

SMGS Year 12 student and SBX 2016 Youth Olympic Silver medallist Alex Dickson has ended a break-out season with the honour of being named Junior Snowboard Cross (SBX) Athlete of the Year at the recently held Ski & Snowboard Australia (SSA) awards night. Alex had an outstanding northern season, with the highlights being the winning of a silver medal in the 2016 Youth Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway, in February, then a second place at the Noram Cup event in Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine, USA, and

attending the Junior World Championships in Slovenia in April 2016. To cap it all off, Alex was then awarded a NSW Institute of Sport (NSWIS) scholarship for the coming year. Ski & Snowboard Australia has a proud tradition of supporting athletes in their sporting pursuits. The NSWIS program supports the daily operations of Freestyle Moguls, Park and Pipe (Ski and Snowboard), Snowboard Cross and Ski Cross in partnership with OWIA and SSA, with the aim of providing athletes with world-class

coaching, training and competition, together with facilities and support. “I am super stoked to win the award for the Junior SBX athlete of the year and to be offered an NSWIS scholarship,” said Alex. “The NSWIS program is the best elite high performance snowsports program in the country and means that I am on the pathway to represent Australia at the highest levels in my sport.” Alex is now spending most of his time in off-snow training to build his fitness before the 2016 southern snow season

commences. He balances his sporting commitments by maintaining his studies at SMGS. He is also the Sports Captain and Mowamba House Captain for the school. Alex is looking forward to a competitionpacked season ahead. There are some high quality SBX events planned for this season at Mt Hotham, Thredbo and Perisher. The highlights will be the Australian National Championships at Mt Hotham and the Australian Junior Nationals being held in Perisher in early August 2016.
