CWA State President visits the Monaro The Country Women’s Association (CWA) welcomed State President Tanya Cameron to the region last week. Mrs Cameron began her visit with a welcome reception and supper in Cooma on Tuesday evening. On Wednesday, Mrs Cameron visited Adaminaby, Jindabyne, Dalgety and Berridale and on Friday travelled out to Nimmitabel and Peak View Jerangle to visit each of the branches. Mrs Cameron said that she was very pleased to have been invited by the Monaro group to come along and visit the area. “It’s a great opportunity to put names to faces,” she said, “Visits like these are important for communication. It’s good to see what is going on, where everyone is and take a look at all the very different areas that the CWA covers.” The visit to Dalgety was of particular significance as it was the Dalgety-Numbla Vale branch’s 60th birthday. In celebration of the occasion, the members had a special cake for afternoon tea that was cut by one of the foundation members, Laurel Kelley. 98-year-old Laurel, a lifetime member, now lives at the Snowy River Hostel in Berridale and had not been to a CWA meeting in nearly two years. The last time a State President came to visit the Dalgety-Numbla Vale CWA branch was 10 years ago for the 50th birthday celebration.

Emergency services report Last Wednesday evening police were called to a property in Crisp Street, Cooma after a 52-year-old male had threatened to ‘blow up’ his house. The man was reportedly aggressive towards police upon their arrival. Officers tried to negotiate with the man before he began to pour petrol throughout the house, setting the lounge room alight. Police then forced entry to the property and the man was removed from the premises. Cooma Fire Brigade was in attendance and quickly extinguished the fire. There were no injuries sustained and minimal damage was caused

to the property. The male was taken to hospital for a mental health assessment and further investigations are pending. On Saturday night a 21-year-old Cooma male was charged with common assault and failure to leave a licensed premises when asked. The male was refused service at a local hotel due to intoxication, and was asked to leave numerous times before he assaulted a security guard. Cooma Fire Brigade were called to a few properties during the week due to residents burning off rubbish in their backyards. This is against Council regulations unless a permit has been granted.

Gallipoli photos displayed at hospital Gold prospects The Australian War Memorial and Cooma District Hospital have joined forces to present a unique First World War photographic display for patients and visitors to view over the next two weeks. The 21 images displayed throughout the hospital were taken by Dr Charles ‘Snodgrass’ Ryan during the eight-month Gallipoli campaign, giving an insight into the conditions the soldiers lived in. Dr Ryan was a surgeon who lived an extraordinary life, including treating Ned Kelly himself after the shootout with police officers at Glenrowan. He also served as a surgeon with the Turkish Army in the Turko-Serbian War of 1876, only to later serve with the ANZAC forces against his former Turkish comrades during WW1. Exhibition curator, Senior Historian Peter Burness said that the images bring to life what the soldiers on the Gallipoli Peninsula lived through. “Dr Ryan’s sensitivity, his empathy with those on both sides, and his eye for the remarkable and the everyday, all these qualities are apparent in his candid images. What also appeals is the fact that perhaps, being a doctor, they have a certain warmth and intimacy.” After leaving the Cooma hospital, the images will also be displayed in hospitals in Goulburn, Yass, Wagga Wagga, Bathurst and Orange.

Initial drilling tests results on an exploration licence near Numbla Vale have been encouraging. GFM Exploration completed their first pass drill testing on August 7, with a very positive outcome. Managing director James Anderson said last week the test had shown good levels of gold, copper and silver in the system. The results are encouraging enough for further testing to be carried out. Mr Anderson said the company had submitted an application for funding to assist with the drill testing. The NSW Government awarded them such a grant last year to enable the testing to be undertaken, Mr Anderson said the immediate future would see him continuing with fund-raising efforts and continuing the IPO procedure. He said the test results had been encouraging for potential investors in the company. GFM Exploration will now plan for testing on another site. Mr Anderson said the company is now employing six staff on a permanent basis. As the process widens, he said that number would increase. The site is the first significant discovery of metals in a greenfield location in NSW for several decades. All will be explained at an information day being held this Saturday at the Dalgety Memorial hall commencing at 1pm.

Tune in to Cooma Wi-Fi for free In another major economic development initiative, Mayor Dean Lynch has announced that CoomaMonaro Shire Council has established a free, stateof-the-art Internet service for Cooma. The first phase of the wireless broadband service was turned on this week with hotspots throughout the town’s central business district. “Communication is the currency of the future and Council wants to make it easier for local residents and businesses as well as tourists and business visitors to interact with each other and connect to the world,” Cr Lynch said. “This initiative is a key part of the Shire Council’s commitment to the positive growth of the region and reflects the vision of Council’s Economic Development Taskforce,” he said. The first stage of the free Wi-Fi broadband rollout provides general coverage along Sharp Street from Cooma Creek Bridge to Soho Street with

adequate service in many intersecting streets and surrounding areas. “This initial phase is aimed at keeping people connected while they are going about their business while in town. Ultimately, our aspiration is for much wider coverage,” the Mayor added. “Importantly, access to free Wi-Fi means Cooma is even more visitor-friendly and gives the one million or so tourists who drive through town every year another good reason to stop, shop and stay. We’ll be promoting the Wi-Fi service in our ‘So Much To Love’ marketing campaign and hotspot stickers will be going on the windows of participating Chamber of Commerce businesses,” Cr Lynch said. Anyone with a smartphone or Wi-Fi enabled mobile device will be able to login, connect and surf the net, send and receive emails, post photos, or stay in touch with family and friends.

CommBank Cooma’s The Kalandan Foundation grant The Kalandan Foundation received a grant of $10,000 from Commonwealth Bank, as part of the 2015 Community Grants program on Monday 17 August 2015. The Kalandan Foundation has been awarded the grant for their efforts in supporting troubled and disadvantaged youth. It joins hundreds of other organisations across the country in being awarded a share of $2 million, with more than 200 grants of up to $10,000 being awarded by the

Bank. The Kalandan Foundation operates Brumby Camps where approximately six young people aged 13-18 attend each camp, accompanied by a social worker. The camps are held multiple times a year for about five days. The young people are taught by a nationally recognised horse trainer on how to engage with a brumby using patience and assertiveness, without aggression. This Community Grant will allow 30 vulnerable children to experience

the Brumby Camp. The curriculum is based on psychological findings on the benefits of equine assisted therapy, and helps the children to reassess and make positive changes in their lives. They also learn trust and respect, and gain valuable skills in setting goals and managing difficult situations. Maree Burchall, Cooma Commonwealth Bank Branch Manager said: “Through our Community Grants program, we’re delighted to support organisations across the country that are dedicated to bettering the health and wellbeing of Australian youth. The grant is an investment in our local community and we hope everyone at The Kalandan Foundation and the young people they help will feel the benefits.” The Community Grants program is an annual Commonwealth Bank initiative. The program is made possible through the generosity of employee donations to the Staff Community Fund, which are

then matched dollar-for-dollar by the Bank. The full list of Community Grants recipients can be found at commbank.com.au/grants.

Federal funding for local councils Local councils are set to benefit from funding under the Australian Government’s Financial Assistance Grant program in 2015-16. The Australian Government is providing $2.3 billion to Local Governments nationwide in 2015-16. This includes $1.1 billion in Financial Assistance Grants already paid to councils to ensure they had immediate access to untied funding to support local priorities. Cooma-Monaro Shire Council will receive a total of $3,591,475 this financial year. This includes the early payment of $1,787,127. Snowy River Shire Council will receive a total of $3,179,613 this financial year. This includes the

early payment of $1,590,688. “The Coalition Government is committed to supporting local government to deliver the services and facilities they need,” Dr Peter Hendy said. “We will deliver $9.45 billion to Local Governments from 2015-16 to 2018-19 through the Financial Assistance Grant program to provide services and build community infrastructure. “Councils are free to spend this untied grant funding according to local priorities, including for infrastructure, health, recreation, environment, employment and roads projects. “The first quarterly payment of $451,087 for 2015-16 has been made.

“This is in addition to the Government’s $3.2 billion Roads to Recovery program - $1.45 billion more than Labor provided under their program,” Dr Hendy said. Councils can also benefit from Round Two of the Government’s new $300 million Bridges Renewal Program which is available exclusively to local government. Up to $100 million will be provided for the repair and replacement of local bridges around Australia to deliver better transport links for their communities and industries. “Applications for Round 2 close on 31 August.

Jindabyne concert draws criticism The Office of Liquor, Gaming & Racing (OLGR) is taking regulatory action after multiple serious breaches were detected at a weekend music festival at Jindabyne, including an intoxicated 13-year-old girl found dazed and unaware in the female toilets. OLGR Director of Compliance & Enforcement Anthony Keon said the inaugural â&#x20AC;&#x153;Snowtunesâ&#x20AC;? event in the Snowy Mountains was promoted by its organisers as a seven hour all ages and familyfriendly event, but an alarming number of serious issues were detected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;OLGR inspectors and Police at the festival found controls and security supervision to be seriously lacking and insufficient for the 3,600 patrons in attendance. This, coupled with the risky nature of the event, created a potentially unsafe environment particularly for minors,â&#x20AC;? Mr Keon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As well as the extremely serious issue of a 13-year-old girl being found intoxicated and disoriented in a public toilet, a 21-yearold man was detected supplying alcohol to two 16-year-old boys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Six minors aged 1315 were also found unaccompanied and

without appropriate adult supervision, contrary to licence conditions for the event. An unaccompanied 14-yearold girl was unable to be located by her adult minder for one-and-ahalf hours. The juvenile was only reunited after all patrons had left the event after 12.30am.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, the operators of Snowtunes failed to adequately assess the risks of conducting such a large event and failed to ensure adequate planning and deployment of resources to maintain proper oversight of patrons,â&#x20AC;? Mr Keon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instead of properly monitoring the crowd for intoxication and safety issues security staff were deployed to the event perimeter to stop people jumping the fence without paying for tickets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By doing this they dropped the ball on what was going on in the general Issues detected at the Snowtunes festival: About 3,600 patrons, including about 100 juveniles, and not enough roaming guards to adequately supervise the crowd. Festival guards wore dark blue jackets making them hard to identify for people requiring assistance. Security staff not actively monitoring for

intoxicated patrons and safety issues, but instead diverted to the perimeter to stop people jumping the fence to gain entry without tickets. A 13-year-old intoxicated girl was located dazed and unaware of her surroundings in the female toilets and at risk of serious harm. A 21-year-old man was detected supplying alcohol to two 16-yearold males. Six minors aged 13-15 were found unaccompanied and without appropriate adult supervision. An unaccompanied 14-year-old girl was unable to be located for one-and-a-half hours until all patrons had left the event after 12.30am. A disc jockey was observed inappropriately yelling â&#x20AC;&#x153;XXXX the police sniffer dogs. People just want to get high and have funâ&#x20AC;? at the all age event that included minors. An 18-year-old intoxicated woman was observed drinking from a hip flask and subsequently vomited in front of inspectors. A male friend was also intoxicated and vomited. A 23-year-old intoxicated man with a broken wrist was observed having difficulty standing, continuously dropped his mobile

phone, tripped over his feet and lost a shoe and needed help from friends to put it back on. When asked by inspectors if he was on medication he replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No. I drunk my way through the pain.â&#x20AC;? An intoxicated man was observed urinating in full view of hundreds of people next to the mosh pit. Event staff who observed the conduct took no action. Police subsequently intervened and arrested the male. Two seriously intoxicated women were conveyed to the medical tent for ambulance care. Both were unable to converse and one continuously vomited.

2000 reasons to Jindabyne Central School Links to Learning hire new staff Small business owners are encouraged to attend an information roadshow about the NSW Government’s Small Business Grants employment incentive scheme. The Member for Monaro John Barilaro said the scheme will provide eligible small businesses with a $2,000 grant for each new full-time worker they employ, and a pro-rated grant for new part-time and casual workers. “The $27 million Small Business Grants employment incentive scheme is part of the Government’s election commitment to deliver 150,000 new jobs to New South Wales over the next four years,” said Mr Barilaro. “The Small Business Grant scheme will provide a strong

incentive for businesses to employ new workers and will encourage employers to expand their operations in NSW. “The free information sessions are a great opportunity for small businesses to learn about the Small Business Grant and meet representatives from the Office of State Revenue.” Sessions on the scheme will be held by the OSR on August 27th at: Queanbeyan: 5pm Central Motel 11 Antill Street. Cooma: 1pm Cooma Bowling Club Mawson Lane. For further information or to register to attend visit the NSW Office of State Revenue website at www.osr.nsw.gov.au or call 1300 241 869.

Jindabyne Central School students who are part of the Links to Learning program have been focussing on employment during this term. Aimed at students who operate better in a non-traditional classroom environment, the Links to Learning Program, facilitated by Debbie Thomas, is funded by the NSW Government and administered by the NSW Department of Education and Communities. Southern Region Business Enterprise Centre (BEC) delivers the program to the students at Jindabyne Central School one day a week.

Going out into the community, the students observed shop assistants as they went about their daily duties. The students then put together a report on the body language used, how the assistants greeted the customers and

determined whether or not they would employ that person if they were the employer. Creating a resource called ‘Life on the Job’ to be used by students from years five to ten, the JCS Links to Learning students have also been interviewing local business owners to put together their stories. The resource aims to promote awareness of different jobs, career pathways and work

environments of various people throughout the community. Another focus for the Links to Learning students has been on goal setting. Guest speaker Tegan Malloy, junior female World Champion Downhill Mounting Biker paid a visit to the class back in April. Tegan described her successes, falls and sacrifices to the students, giving them a realistic idea as to how to achieve their dreams.

Earlier in the year the JCS students joined Links to Learning students from Bombala High School and Monaro High School in a visit to the Australian Catholic University in Canberra for ‘Aspirations Day’. Towards the end of the year, the students are looking forward to attending Cooma TAFE to undertake their OH&S white card, first aid, barista and safe food handling qualifications.

A new website has been launched with legal information and resources for families, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro said today. The website, developed by Legal Aid NSW, contains information about issues that can affect children and young people such as parental break ups, family violence, criminal issues and property settlements. Mr Barilaro said the justice system needs to be easily understood and available for everyone. “Helping young people understand the legal issues impacting their life can help reduce any stress or anxiety they are feeling at difficult times,” said Mr Barilaro. “The Best for Kids website is designed to help children and young people to navigate complicated legal issues. “The website includes answers to questions about what happens when parents separate, what is an AVO, what happens at court and the role of an independent children’s lawyer,

what happens when children are removed from their parents’ care, how to deal with debt and money issues and what young people should do if approached by the police. “The website also features videos for parents including on family violence, mediation and property settlements.” Legal Aid NSW Chief Executive Bill Grant thanked police, the courts and the child actors for their role in developing and producing the videos. “They have helped make this a fantastic resource, designed to be easily accessible from mobile phones,” Mr Grant said. “Videos and online animated brochures also explain what children’s lawyers do for a child or young person. These lawyers are usually appointed by the Court to represent a child’s interests in family law cases and care proceedings.” For more information, go to www.bestforkids.org. au

Adding a bit of sparkle to Daisy’s Daisy’s Child Care and Preschool Centre is excited to welcome a new member to the team. Melanie Caffarelli is a passionate child educator who has recently completed her diploma in early childhood education. With family in Cooma, Melanie made the decision to move here 14 years ago from Melbourne. She started off working as a nanny for a local Jindabyne family before taking on studies and working in early childhood education. She married local man Sergio Caffarelli and they now have a beautiful little girl called Talia who is four and a half, and their miracle baby. After working at Kids Choice in Cooma, previously ABC Learning Centre, for nine and a half years, Melanie said she was ready for a change. “I really loved working at Kids Choice,” she says, “I just felt that I needed a change and a new challenge. I think it is important to be always growing and learning from different people.” Melanie says that she sees her role as support for parents and families. “The family really is the number one learning source for children, and as an educator I am here to provide them with as much guidance and support as they need.” Melanie describes herself as a big kid at heart. Her infectious smile and the silver glitter shining on her cheeks are indicative to her playful approach to childcare and early education. Melanie loves children and with her mum being a teacher and school principal, she always knew that childcare was where she belonged. Being the new Lead Educator for the two to three year olds, known as Snow Gums,

Daisy’s Centre Manager Liz Graham is very excited to have Melanie on the team. “It’s so great to have someone who is so dedicated and passionate come on board,” says Liz. Melanie says that what she enjoys most about working with children is watching them grow. “I just love being around

their smiles and helping them to grow and develop into themselves,” she says, “I see my role as moulding the children of tomorrow.”

Melanie Caffarelli joins the team at Daisy’s Child Care and Preschool Centre.

Hammering home health and wellness for tradies

Rising river alert for Snowy River ‘Waawii’ – Water spirit

Here to help our local Tradies improve their Health - Renee Pirozzi, Eliza Graham and Edward Moore from Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy with Anne Foster from Anytime Fitness. The Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) has declared that August will again be Tradies National Health Month, educating Australian tradies to keep a check on their health and well being. Local physiotherapy clinic Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy will be supporting the month long awareness campaign with an event on Wednesday 26th August. This event will see Physiotherapist Edward Moore educate local tradies how to care for their body with a FREE talk to be held at Anytime Fitness Cooma. The FREE talk will show tradies exercises for injury prevention, particularly for back and knee strength, stretches for injury prevention and stiff joints and tight muscles, and the right way to lift, bend and move around the work place and at home. Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy has teamed up with Anytime Fitness to host the event at their Cooma gym at 108 Commissioner Street Cooma. Everyone is invited to attend the free event- including tradies and non-tradies, gym members and nonmembers. The overall Tradies Health Month campaign focuses on health (physical and mental), safety on site and the positive effects that physiotherapy can have on those that work in a labour intensive industry. “We are so excited to support this outstanding

campaign. Local tradies make up a significant percentage of our business and it always concerns us the stress they put on their bodies. It is important that we send them a timely reminder to look after their health and well-being!” says Renee Pirozzi owner of Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy. Every day ten tradies are badly injured at work, with nearly all roofers, plumbers and labourers experiencing back pain, muscle stress and strain from their trade. Mental health is also a significant issue with around 18% of injured workers having to seek mental health services after being off work for more than six months. The Australian Physiotherapy Association has kindly donated lucky door prizes for those that attend the Cooma event held by Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy. Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy’s Tradies National Health Month event is on TONIGHT 26th August 2015 at 6pm at Anytime Fitness Cooma – 108 Commissioner Street, Cooma. To register for the FREE event please email Reneep@snowyphysio. com.au or call 6452 4203.

DPI Water has issued a ‘rising river alert’ for the Snowy River between Jindabyne Dam and Dalgety in southern NSW for Monday 31 August 2015. The river will rise due to the second high-flow event in a series of five planned environmental releases from Jindabyne Dam to the Snowy River during winter and spring 2015. All five high-flow events in the Snowy River during this period have been named by the five regional Aboriginal communities - BidwellMaap, Wongalu, Southern MoneroYuin-Bolga, Maneroo-Ngarigo and Wiradjuri - who recognise the link between these high flows and the health of the Snowy River. The Wongalu people believe the release of high flows will release Waawii the water spirit and initiate a spiritual connection back to the Snowy River and the surrounding landscape in the Monero. The highest flow rate will occur at Jindabyne Dam from 8am to 4pm on Monday August 31 and will be equivalent to 1,949 megalitres per day for the eight hour period. For the remainder of Monday August 31, the flow rate will be

equivalent to 1,222 megalitres per day. The flow rate will drop back to 1,020 megalitres per day on Tuesday 1 September 2015. The environmental changes from this release are expected to be greatest between the dam wall to the junction with the Delegate River. However, the pulse will be noticeable down to the estuary in Victoria. It is expected to see the river water level at Dalgety rise from 1.01m to 1.23m, a rise of 0.22m. This is one of four secondary high flow events for 2015, with water released from the cone valves at Jindabyne Dam. It is important to note that water released at Jindabyne will take about six hours to reach Dalgety Weir at this flow rate. Landholders downstream of the Jindabyne Dam are advised to take all necessary precautions with stock, fencing and property. DPI Water will work with the NSW State Emergency Service and Bureau of Meteorology to provide information to the community regarding the management of this release should weather conditions warrant. More information can be found at - www.water.nsw.gov.au or by calling 1800 353 104.

ROAD CONDITION 3 - URBAN ROAD

Council has commenced a “condition campaign” to discuss our rural and urban roads and we want to hear from our community! Currently, Snowy River Shire is required to value the level of service for our roads as being a condition 2 standard, otherwise known as ‘good’. This rating means that not only is it financially impossible to fulfil current renewal obligations, it is equally unaffordable to maintain the remaining sealed and unsealed network on an annual basis. We know that over the next ten years it will cost $75M to bring all roads to a good standard (condition 2) and $61M to bring all roads to an acceptable standard (condition 3). With your support we can stretch every dollar further and get more roads up to the acceptable standard. Over the next two months council will be conducting an online survey and holding a community meeting. If you have an opinion about our roads and the standards in which they are either maintained or renewed, then make sure you sign up to our distribution list to keep up to date. Email us on: records@snowyriver.nsw.gov.au with the subject: Roads Condition Campaign. Further information will be provided regarding the commencement of the online survey and community meeting date shortly.

Monaro High girls on work placement Local girls Hayley Swain and Paige Malone have both tried their hands at atypical jobs as part of their Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses. Work placement is a mandatory component of industry-based VET courses that students can choose as part of their studies for the NSW Higher School Certificate. Students who undertake mandatory work placement have the opportunity to gain valuable skills and hands on experience in the workplace, giving them a taste of what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to work in a particular industry. Numeralla girl Hayley Swain is currently in year 12 and doing an automotive course at TAFE as a vocational subject. Hayley only took on the subject because welding was not available, but she is glad she did it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I originally wanted to be a boiler maker, but after doing a work placement for that, I realised that I prefer it as a hobby rather than a career,â&#x20AC;? says Hayley. Hayley recently completed her twoweek placement in the workshop at Cooma Toyota. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really enjoyed it, and now I know thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I want to do,â&#x20AC;? says Hayley. The team were so impressed with her work ethic, attitude and skills

that they have offered her an apprenticeship beginning next year when she has completed school. Hayleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mentor at Cooma Toyota is Ray Galvin. Ray said that he always keeps an eye on the TAFE students for potential apprentices to join the team at Toyota. Impressed with Hayley, Ray said there was no hesitation in offering her the position for 2016. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were very impressed with her work,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly not shy and we loved having her here.â&#x20AC;? Hayley says being in a male dominated environment is nothing new to her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was at school in Numeralla there were only seven students, and I was the only girl,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also the only girl in my automotive class at TAFE at the moment.â&#x20AC;? Owner and Principal of High Country Automotive Group David Crawford says that there are now great career growth opportunities available within franchise car dealerships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now days you can really climb the ladder as a mechanic in a franchise business. Whether that be involvement in training other aspiring mechanics or there are even opportunities to

Monaro High school student Paige Malone was fortunate to undertake the mandatory part of her HSC with local business Cooma Battery Wholesalers. Tim Fitzgerald, the owner of Cooma Battery Wholesalers, gave Paige a great understanding

of the business enabling her to fulfil the mandatory on-thejob component of her course. Paige attends Monaro high school four days a week and Cooma TAFE on a Wednesday where she is enrolled in the Business Service Course. Paige learnt many new skills during her work placement enabling her to get a holistic view of how a business runs. Tim took her through procedures which included understanding of checking in the arrival of stock, entering invoices, how to charge stock out, paying suppliers, processing statements throughto the

end customer service where customers had their batteryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fitted. Paige also learnt how to fit a watch battery, and thoroughly enjoyed her experience. The structured workplace learning program is funded by the NSW Government and administered by the NSW Department of Education and Communities. Southern Region Business Enterprise Centre (BEC) delivers the program to the students across the Monaro, if you would like to host a student please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to call Program Coordinator Debbie Thomas on 0432 089 817.

Meanwhile, geneologists and history buffs (like tourists) may like to look around at memorials, in and around the church, which record much family and local history. Later in October, St Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will welcome members of the Anglican Historical

Society visiting from various centres across the state. Their return visit will include a trip to Old Christ Church and its cemetery as well as St Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. At any of these functions people will have the opportunity to assert their spiritual connections with the past. But, the regular service this week may be the special time to remember with thanks our tangible heritage and the divine grace it signifies.

How can I stop EHLQJ VZRRSHG E\ PDJSLHV"" With spring on the way the birds are going to be busy getting ready to nest the most common question regarding Magpies is: How can I stop being swooped?? Firstly it is important to remember that Magpies are native wildlife, so it is illegal to harm them. It is also important to remember that they only swoop at people for two or three weeks during the nesting season. This is mainly during the period when the young birds have just left the nest and are being protected by their parents. Many people find that being swooped by a Magpie is a traumatic experience. The simple and best solution is to avoid the area for a few weeks. If this is impracticable, the best defence is to wear a hat with images of eyes on the back of it; as Magpies usually only attack from behind, the eyes will make the bird think you are looking at it and will not swoop. Another method is to hold a stick above your head, and the Magpie will not harm you. Cyclists may attach stiff plastic strips to their helmets (so they project about 10-15 cm above the helmet), and this will have the same effect. If you have tried all of these suggestions and they have not worked for you, and the swooping Magpies constitute a genuine public nuisance, your local state conservation department may be able to assist you, though this is at the discretion of individual wildlife officers.

Leaving Riga we pass numerous apartment/unit blocks. Many have verandahs which are converted to an enclosed room. Average size of unit is 50 sq metres so if you enclosed a 5 sq metre verandah you have 10% more room. Also along the road are many low, plain buildings which we are told are mass garages. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t garage your car here in the winter you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find it. So much development has been carried out in the Riga area over the last 10 years that you may not recognise it. One comment was made about one of the hotels (reserved for foreigners in Soviet times), that it consisted of 70% concrete and 30% microphones. You can see a lot of the buildings need maintenance. The answer to this is even if residents wanted to do maintenance up until recently materials were not available, eg roof tiles to improve water proofness of buildings. The first â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;do it yourselfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shops that appeared were roof tiles shops and followed closely by bathroom supplies. Magnificent white, mauve and magenta lilac are growing in profusion. Storks and their nests, high up on a water tank or posts, feeding their young. Stopping at the border for the driver to have a rest, on to the Baltic Sea for a toe paddle, wine and nibbles, what a great idea. Our final stretch in to Tallinn, still over 2 hours away. To pass the time the DVD Singing Revolution is played which explained a lot of the history of Estonia. Over 300,000 singers protested by way of song, over one million joined hands from Estonia, through Latvia and Lithuania to the USSR border to protest the occupation of their countries by the Soviets. Not all protests were peaceful but eventually independence was obtained in 1991. Such was the strength of the song revolution that a song festival is now held every 6 years. We are staying at the Olympia Hotel in Tallinn, built in 1980 for the Olympics held in Russia but some of the water sports were held in Tallinn. Oh dear (and a few stronger words). Just as we arrived at our hotel I had a computer malfunction and have lost most of my work - back to the drawing board or maybe I can find a computer guru!! Thursday and we have a bit of a sleep in, breakfast then on the go at 9.00am for a tour around Tallinn. Population of 400,000 in the city. The city has one government and the country has another. Located on the Bay of Tallinn or the Baltic Sea. After driving around viewing historical sites including the park where the song festivals are held, taking photos of the Baltic Sea with a cruise ship and ferries coming and going we make our way to the Upper City. We enter near Nevsky Cathedral and slowly make our way to the Lower City and market square, again apart from the wind we are blessed with perfect weather. The Market Square is similar to Warsaw and Riga, basically a square shape, market stalls and shops all around. Many make purchases here of the beautiful woollen wear and enjoy the local cuisine. We are told that Estonia is responsible for the development of the Skype system so next time you are skyping your friends or relatives think of the little Baltic State of Estonia and say thank you. Their main industry today is shale coal. Tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dinner is at a local restaurant and we enjoyed a medieval banquet, entrees of herring, brawn and meat, main meal of chicken, pork and vegetables and fruit tart for dessert. Friday we cross the Baltic Sea by ferry which was a very

NEWS

pleasant journey, 2.5 hours and no problems and many of you will know I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always cope with being on the water. It was quite a walk onto and off the ferry. Maria our guide met us at the wharf and once again we are taken on a city tour, this time Helsinki with a population of 600,000. 188,000 lakes are in Finland all with drinkable water, no treatment other than filtering out foreign matter. Finland is the size of Germany but much less population. 70% of the country is still forest. There are only two Catholic Churches in Helsinki the rest being Lutheran. We visited two magnificent churches. The first being The Uspensky Orthodox Cathedral built in 1868 and perched on a hill. An unusual one was built within the rocks with a copper roof currently being renovated. Another stop we had was near all the Government buildings and what intrigued me here was that the markets in progress were all contained within shipping containers. One shop was selling plants growing in all types and sizes of shoes, including stilettos. University education is free in Finland, so long as you pass the entrance exam you will be able to enter a course of your choice and be paid 600 euros per month subsidy and you can earn another 600 per month before losing any allowance. All education is state run, there are no private schools. They recently ran a competition and the first 1,000 registering on Facebook could bring their picnic dinner and sit along the table near the park. This was being set up today and you can imagine the traffic congestion it caused. The railway station which we will be leaving from on Sunday is just across the road from our hotel, a 5 minute walk but 20 minutes in a bus owing to the route you have to take. The Baltic Sea freezes for about a metre in depth during the winter owing to its low salinity and -200 temperatures. The numerous water courses that run in to the Baltic causes the lack of salinity in this area of the Baltic. Also the tidal variation is only 15cms. Ice breaker vessels are constructed in Helsinki and four are moored in the bay at present. During the winter no water craft are left at their moorings, currently there were thousands to be seen. Saturday and two weeks on the road, this time we are going to visit the outdoor Peoples Museum, accessed by crossing a foot bridge. Spaced around the island are various Finnish buildings transported from various other places throughout the country. Hay stacks and food safes perched on a 20ft pole to prevent bears from gaining access. Communal living areas, one lot grouped together which did not prove successful in the event of fire. All rooms, from constant use, were black from the smoke from fires. Small windows did not allow much light to enter but when you think about it there would not have been much light in winter months. One group of houses was surrounded by a sloping fence and high poles again presumably to keep the bears out. The old church and manor house were wonderful examples of constructions for the period. In actual fact the church is still used today. From here we went to the wharf area and markets. You have all heard the expression being crapped on, well I was literally crapped on at the markets when a bird flew by and dropped his calling card, thank goodness I did not have my head up and mouth open! Finland is a very wealthy country and the prices of products reflect this. We were told coming over on the ferry that Finnish people make the trip to Tallinn numerous times a year to stock up on goods, the price difference being so great. One of our group bought a jumper in Tallinn and saw it for four times the price in Helsinki. In the afternoon we enjoyed a boat cruise around the canal area of Helsinki. Water craft are everywhere in all shapes and sizes. Along one area were numerous saunas on the water front. The first consideration when building for the Finnish is their sauna. Tonight is our farewell dinner to Tim, he has been a magnificent guide. Continued next week...

the

postman calls

Is it wet enough yet? The Postman is developing webbed feet this week, as the wet weather hangs on and on. Anyone who thought we were living on the ‘dry’ Monaro might need to change their opinion. The good thing about all this weather is that the snow has been dumping down in the resorts and with all that extra white stuff, the season has been reactivated. Last week the Federal Government announced its funding amounts for our local councils. All up, this part of the world shares $22million in Fed Funds, but is it enough? With increasing demand for aged care services across the nation, maybe it’s time the Feds seriously considered making this region a hub for those services. After all, growing old is a growing business! But how nice is it to see our spring flowers starting to burst into bloom. The thought of warm sunny days is warming the cold old cockles of The Postman’s heart!

Skyrocketing stamp prices Editor, Cost of posting a letter from Monaro set to soar; local jobs to go Monaro residents will face skyrocketing stamp prices and a postage service that takes up to a week to deliver a letter to its destination under newly revealed Federal Government plans for Australia Post. The Federal Communications Minister has quietly introduced the reforms which create a two-speed postal system, with a regular service operating slower than the current delivery speed and a premium, more expensive service. The move will hit regional areas like Monaro hard, and I call on local MP Peter Hendy to act to protect local jobs and services. You’ll be able to walk a letter from Cooma to Batemans Bay faster than you’ll be able to post it under these new regulations. The cost of posting a letter will also soar. We could see people forced to pay $1.50 or more simply to send a letter down the road. This is an unsustainable model that will see the eventual downfall of our national post service. Peter Hendy needs stand up for his electorate and tell the Federal Communications Minister that he won’t let a plan that will rob our region of jobs and services slip quietly through.”

A major report into Australia Post released today by the McKell Institute warns that the Government’s current approach is not the answer and recommends a raft of changes including a full review of Post’s Community Service Obligations. The Federal Government needs to carry out its own review of Australia Post, looking at viable, innovative options for expanding its service offerings, not simply jacking up prices, driving down the service, and slashing jobs. If we go down this path, it will only be a matter of time before local post offices in regional areas like Monaro are a thing of the past. Around 32,500 people are employed by Australia Post nationwide, and 58 per cent of them are in rural and remote areas. Those jobs will be on the chopping block unless the Federal Government admits this plan is flawed and develops a smarter, long-term solution that will protect our postal system and our local jobs.

Contact our Sponsorship Coordinator John Gill Phone: 6452 3380 or 0418 708 334

Bredbo Public School staff and students enjoyed a fantastic costume parade to celebrate their Book Fair. Bredbo Public School held their annual Book Fair this week, celebrating the occasion with a costume parade. Students had to dress as their favourite book character and they all put in a fantastic effort. There were a variety of characters portrayed including Creeper, Asterix, Snow White, Karate Kid, The Incredible Hulk and many more. Prizes were awarded for People’s Choice – won by Darcy Clark (Asterix); Most Elaborate Homemade Costume – won by Jack Valois (Creeper) and

Most Enthusiastic Representation of Character – won by Charlotte Valois (Princess Barbie). Principal of Bredbo Public School, Leanne Thistleton said she was very impressed with the effort all the students put into their costumes. “It was an excellent day,” she said. “I would like to thank all the parents who came along and helped us with the judging and supported our Book Fair at the same time,” she said. The school receives a number of books for holding the Book Fair, which will be put into the school library.

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

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

INVESTMENT MARKET CHANGES There has been a lot of changes in the market recently, with Lenders aiming to manage their investment loan levels. This has resulted in a lot of policy changes by the Lenders, with some increasing rates on investment property loans, some reducing the loan ratio (meaning you need to have a higher deposit),and some making changes to the interest only option. If you are looking at getting into the investment property market, it is now more important than ever to talk to someone who is aware of these changes, and give you guidance on which Lender is going to be the best fit for your circumstance. If you are looking at buying a property, whether as an investment, or as an owner occupied residence, I can help you look at all your options. If you are unsure if investing in property is right for you at this time, I can also arrange an obligation free meeting with Damian Toms, senior financial planner. He can offer advice on other investment options, as well as a range of other financial planning solutions. Whatever your lending needs, give me a call. If I am unable to help you directly (particularly with business finance), I have access to other channels that could help you get a good deal. Call me now to arrange an appointment, on mobile: 0431 351 873

Livestock health watch - grass tetany and pregnancy toxaemia South East Local Land Services district veterinarians have seen an increase in the number of cases of pregnancy toxaemia in sheep and grass tetany in cows across the region. District Veterinarian, Bill Johnson said these issues are related to the winter decline in pasture quality and quantity and the cycle for calving and lambing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pregnancy toxaemia in sheep, and the related condition of ketosis in beef cows, are more prevalent this year as many producers struggled to control the weight of ewes and cows with the abundance of autumn feed,â&#x20AC;? Mr Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those same ewes and cows are now losing weight late in pregnancy due to heavy frosts reducing pasture growth and quality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;South East Local Land Services has seen several cases where ewes in late pregnancy carrying large twin lambs have little room left for food and they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat enough of the bulky, low quality frosted pasture to sustain themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ewes with pregnancy toxaemia separate from the mob, do not eat, become drowsy or comatose and exhibit nervous system signs such as tremors and blindness. They may lie about for up to 3 to 4 days and then die. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Early diagnosis and treatment with oral energy supplements and an anti-inflammatory injection may help to save those ewes still on their feet. A change to a better pasture or feeding an energy supplement is required urgently to correct the energy imbalance for the rest of the mob.â&#x20AC;? Grass tetany has been causing deaths in cows across the region since autumn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winter grass dominant pastures or crops are notoriously low in magnesium, calcium and sodium and high in potassium and nitrogen, limiting the availability of magnesium

to cows,â&#x20AC;? Mr Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cattle only have a small store of magnesium and must continually replenish magnesium used to make milk, so they are most at risk when feeding a calf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Higher milk producers are more at risk, as are older fatter cows, especially Angus and Angus crosses. Any additional stress on cattle such as bad weather, mustering or time off feed may trigger grass tetany.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most effective and commonly used preventative is to feed hay treated with magnesium oxide. If daily feeding of hay is not possible some producers find that offering a loose lick in the paddock can offer some protection.â&#x20AC;? For more information and advice, please contact your nearest South East Local Land Services district veterinarian on 1300 795 299.

Lodge your annual land and stock return South East Local Land Services is reminding land managers they have only five days left to lodge their Annual Land and Stock Return. Land managers of properties that are

10 hectares or more who pay Local Land Services rates, or have a Property Identification Code are required to complete an Annual Land and Stock Return, even if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any stock. If the Annual Land and Stock Return isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lodged by August 31, an animal health rate and meat industry levy

will be automatically applied to next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rates notice. Land managers must lodge their Annual Land and Stock Return to avoid incurring this levy, which may not be applicable. Land and stock information provides Local Land Services with a state-wide biosecurity picture

about agricultural use and livestock numbers which is invaluable in the event of an emergency, such as a natural disaster or disease outbreak, where livestock are affected. Annual Land and Stock Return forms were mailed to land managers at the end of June.

The form can be submitted online at www.lls.nsw.gov.au/ livestock/land-andstock-returns. It can also be lodged by post. For more information land managers should contact their nearest Local Land Services office on 1300 795 299 or visit www.lls.nsw. gov.au

Surveillance efforts will be stepped up this week, as three of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best noses join the fight to sniff out any signs of Red Imported Fire Ants. Three of Queenslandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Agriculture and Fisheries highly-trained detector dogs will be rechecking the initial detection site at a port facility in Port Botany, as well as several highrisk areas within the control zone. NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Director of Invasive Plants and Animals Dr Andrew Sanger said while our Queensland counterparts are sworn enemies on a sporting field, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different story when dealing with a biosecurity emergency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Queensland has been a strong ally throughout this response and has assisted the

Department and Local Land Services to respond to the detection,â&#x20AC;? Dr Sanger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is perfect example of cross border cooperation to increase capability to respond to this type of incursion.â&#x20AC;? Dr Sanger said since the detection in November last year, the systematic surveillance campaign has seen more than 1890 hectares of land checked for fire ants, including 1400 residential homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the second time the Queensland detector dogs have visited the site to help us search for the exotic ants and their ability to search such large areas so quickly and effectively is quite remarkable,â&#x20AC;? Dr Sanger said. Queenslandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Red Imported Fire Ant Eradication Program Director, Sarah

Corcoran said it is through the success of such national cost-sharing programs that we are able to achieve national outcomes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The expertise developed in Queensland under the National Program has contributed to the national capability to respond quickly and effectively to fire ant incursions,â&#x20AC;? Ms Corcoran said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This expertise has translated into innovations such as the introduction of odour detection dogs in Queensland and now their use here to assist the Port Botany response.â&#x20AC;? Red Imported Fire Ants are a serious exotic and aggressive pest that can inflict painful bites on people, pets and livestock. If anyone suspects the presence of an exotic pest they should contact the Exotic Plant Pest Hotline on 1800 084 881.

Wool production predicted to decline The Australian Wool Production Forecasting Committee (AWPFC) has maintained its forecast for the 2015/16 season at 332 million kilograms greasy, a 4.3% decline on the estimate of 347 mkg for the 2014/15 season. Committee Chairman, Russell Pattinson commented that “there is expected to be a reduction in the number of sheep shorn in 2015/16 after the ongoing high turn-off of sheep and lambs last season. At the same time, average fleece weights across Australia will be slightly lower than in 2014/15. Seasonal conditions are quite mixed, but the fall in average fleece weights reflects difficult seasons in several regions, including the western part of Victoria, south-east South Australia, Tasmania, northern New South Wales and most of Queensland.” The AWPFC has also estimated shorn wool production for the 2014/15 season at 347 mkg, an increase of 1.8% over the previous season. This increase is in line with, but less than, the increase seen in AWTA tests, ABS wool receivals and AWEX auction offerings for 2014/15. Some of the increase in wool tests,

receivals and auction offerings late in the 2014/15 season was attributed to the release of on-farm stocks held over from previous seasons as well as the forward offering of wool held in brokers’ stores and earlier than usual deliveries of recently shorn wool in response to the spike in wool prices in May and June. The overall increase in shorn wool production in 2014/15 is also a result of the improved fleece weights which partly offset the decline in the number of sheep shorn last season. The Committee noted that the AWTA wool test data for the 2014/15 season showed a reduction in volumes of wool 17.5 microns and finer, but an increase in the volumes of 1820 microns, 22-23 microns and broad (27 microns and broader)

wool. This resulted in a 0.1 micron increase in the mean fibre diameter for Australia. The National Committee drew on advice from the six State Committees, each of which includes growers, brokers, private treaty merchants, representatives from State Departments of Agriculture, and the Australian Wool Testing

Authority. Data and input was also drawn from AWEX, wool exporters, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, ABARES, AWTA and Meat and Livestock Australia. The full forecast report will be available on the AWI website at www.wool.com/forecasts from 28th August 2015.

September sheep and cattle sales for Cooma Cooma Associated Agents new president Chippy Boller has urged local graziers to support the local saleyards for what is anticipated to be very strong early spring demand. Cooma agents will be conducting cattle and sheep sales in September, on September 10 and September 15. “With an encouraging spring looking good in most areas, demand from re-stockers especially should be very strong. The saleyards need better support and

honestly I can see no reason why producers cannot be guaranteed to receive excellent results here locally” Chippy said. Agents are now taking bookings for these two special sales, so contact your agent today. The agents are trialling this approach to see if more numbers can be attracted into these ‘special sales’ especially in relation to cattle. Both store lines plus fat cattle are welcome.

NRMA supports Colinton Fire Brigade The Colinton Fire Brigade are the grateful recipients of an NRMA Community Grant, which they have used to purchase a Stihl generator to power their catering trailer. As part of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;keeping volunteers fit and fedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; program, the Colinton Fire Brigade will be able to use the generator to provide hot food to the fire fighters on location. Often fighting fires for hours at a time, this will make a huge difference to the service. The generator will also be able to be used for the Driver Reviver, which is operated by the Colinton Brigade at the Colinton rest area on the Monaro Highway. In a presentation on Monday, NRMA Cooma Team Leader Gaynor Tidboald thanked the Colinton brigade for all the

great work they do within the community. The NRMA Community Grant program has given out more than 1600 grants so far and aims to assist in creating safer, stronger and more confident communities. Being the second grant the Colinton Fire Brigade has received from NRMA, fire captain Graham Povey thanked them for their generosity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really appreciate the NRMA putting money aside for grants such as this,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a rural area that is prone to bushfires, the equipment we have access to makes all the difference and is extremely important.â&#x20AC;?

Plan your burning and notify The NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) is advising landholders and managers to ensure they have undertaken proper preparations before conducting any burn-offs on their property. NSW RFS Superindendent Jim Darrant said landholders are encouraged to proactively reduce fuel loads on their property while ensuring burns are conducted safely and legally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every landholder has a responsibility to prevent fire from spreading from their property and there can be serious consequences for people who light fires and leave them unattended,â&#x20AC;? Superindendent Darrant said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A person who lights a fire without the required

approvals and notifications is guilty of an offence, with penalties including large fines and/or imprisonment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;History has shown that problems occur when people do not adequately supervise fires and an escaped hazard reduction can be very difficult for firefighters to contain.â&#x20AC;? Superindendent Darrant said residents must take current conditions and weather forecasts into consideration before starting a burn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also, remember to notify your neighbours and local fire authority on 1300 722 164 (during business hours) at least 24 hours before starting a burn, failure to do so could result in penalties including large fines.â&#x20AC;? NSW RFS control centres can provide advice about fire permits, hazard reduction certificates, environmental approvals, weather forecasts and how best to prepare and conduct a burn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The NSW RFS has a number of publications available through local brigades or Fire Control Centres, which can assist landowners in planning and carrying out fire related activities safely,â&#x20AC;? Superindendent Darrant said.

From Moree to the Monaro In the last week twenty indigenous students linked to the Clontarf Foundation from Moree and their associate group from Inverell, drove 1000 kms to have a ski lesson and experience some of the best of the Monaro. St Patrick’s Parish School played host to these boys and their mentors Sean Baldwin, Nick O’Sullivan, Shane Edmonds and Preston Connors, with the support of some local businesses, especially in the area of accommodation. After just a short skiing lesson, the boys were amazed at how proficient they were on the snow slopes. “That was the best fun I have ever had,” claimed Wyatt. “I didn’t knowing that falling over could be fun, actually.” St Patrick’s Assistant Principal, Mark van Ommen commended the resilience of the students as they approached something completely new. The Clontarf Foundation is a not for profit organisation that was established to improve the education, discipline and life skills of young Aboriginal men. The goal is to ultimately change their employment prospects. The Foundation believes that experiencing achievement, while still young, can over-turn a sense of under-privilege and minimise the

negative effects of alienation, anger and substance abuse. The students who visited the Monaro were those who had the highest attendance records at their schools. They had also demonstrated a positive response to leadership challenges. Sean Baldwin, the Director for the Moree Academy of Clontarf, said, “Building self-esteem and providing opportunities of responsibility have been key to what they do with these Aboriginal lads. And they live up to it as well.” In order to remain in the Academy, members must consistently endeavour to: attend school regularly; apply themselves to the study of appropriate courses and embrace the Academy’s requirements for behaviour and selfdiscipline. After their experience with skiing, the boys provided a day of sports coaching to the younger students at St Patrick’s. This was their chance to give something back to this community. “This is a program that we intend to continue with the Moree Academy, as there are wonderful benefits for both them and us,” said Mrs Frances Robertson, Principal of St Patrick’s.

Riposte Lisa Ashurst What is it about the box asking for a nickname popping up on various forms from school and/or college enrolments to adult employment registrations? An acquaintance pointed this out to me on an online registration form for a government employment agency recently and it actually had an asterisk beside it which meant it was a mandatory requirement. Seriously? I mean, we’re talking about adults here! Why on earth would an employment agency need to know someone’s nickname anyway? Or even an employer for that matter? And what if you don’t have a nickname to put in that mandatory box? Sure, lots of people have nicknames. Some have picked them up in babyhood or been given them as a

Wednesday August 26, 2015

toddler while others acquired them in school or in some job or other but no matter where someone caught a nickname, they tend to stick, but are they relevant to an enrolment or application form? Some departments have taken it even further (especially where children are concerned) and the next box following the surname and first name(s) is “Preferred Name”. Whaaaaat??? This is then followed by the “Nickname” box. I don’t really get it. Look, I may possibly (at a stretch, but only just) get the nickname box thingy where kids are concerned but trust me, if a child has a nickname which they prefer to their actual name then every other kiddie in their class will know that within the first five minutes of them starting school anyway, and by the end of the week almost every other kid in the school will know it too. Kids have radar for these things and if they pick up on a nickname you can

guarantee they’ll use it come hell or high water. Teachers can then opt for using whichever. Depends on the nickname I guess. But the box I definitely don’t get is “Preferred Name”. Does that refer to a yen towards preferring to be known by a middle name, or perhaps the name one wishes one’s parents had given one as opposed to the name one got saddled with? Obviously it does not refer to a nickname because there’s already a separate box for that. On the other hand though, perhaps I could develop an understanding if Ms Sassafras Amy Smith prefers to be called Amy. It’s a lot easier to spell for a start, could save Ms Smith from hearing “Geez! Where did you get that name?” over and over again and it would definitely go a long, long way towards

her avoiding the diminutive, Sassy (but I’ll bet that’s her nickname). Then again, Amy might find she would like to be S Amy...would that be acceptable in the box for “Preferred Name”? A surprising number of people are an initial followed by a middle name now so yeah, S Amy could work. Probably just as well, because that “Nickname” box has an asterisk remember, which means Sassy is going to appear on that form too. OMG! What if the computer glitches and registers her as Sassy Amy? With luck, Ms Smith mayy never have to fill out one of those forms.

Guide on dealing with Mr Fluffy A booklet has been compiled to assist residents in the region affected by Mr Fluffy loose filled asbestos, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro said today. The booklet will be distributed to households in affected areas this week and outlines the options available to residents of Mr Fluffy homes as part of the NSW Governments $250 million Voluntary Purchase/Demolition Program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that there is a clear path forward in relation to financial support for affected homeowners, it is important that everyone has an opportunity to have their home tested,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Barilaro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The booklet contains information about the history of Mr Fluffy, how many properties are affected so far, the Loose-Fill Asbestos Implementation Taskforce and details about the free sampling service available for property owners concerned about Mr Fluffy.â&#x20AC;? Mr Barilaro led a major fight for NSW

Government assistance for residents whose homes were insulated in the 1960s and 1970s by a company called Mr Fluffy. Recently he joined NSW Minister for Finance, Services and Property Dominic Perrottet to announce a $250 million voluntary purchase and demolition program for all NSW residential property owners with positive results for loose-fill asbestos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Mr Fluffy legacy is far reaching and had left many families across the region distressed and confused,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Barilaro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finally we have ended three decades of uncertainty for Mr Fluffy homeowners. I am so pleased the NSW Government has acted firmly and decisively to protect and support residents and helped right a wrong that has affected many NSW households.â&#x20AC;? The booklet will be distributed to households this week.

Fletcher, Thomas and Tori off to State Championships Eleven-year-old Fletcher Thew has smashed the 14 second barrier in the 100 metres to earn himself a berth at the NSW Primary Schools Athletics Championships and keep alive his dream of becoming the fastest runner for his age in the state. The Year Six Jindabyne Central School (JCS) student won the boys’ 11 years 100m at Friday’s South Coast Regional Athletics Championships held at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) in Canberra. He clocked a time of 13.98 seconds. It’s still a long way shy of the current state record of 13.04s for junior boys in the 100m but Fletcher intends to do everything in his power to break that record at the state championships at Sydney Olympic Park on October 14 and 15. “I haven’t really been training for the 100m,” said Fletcher, who spends his winters living in Perisher. “I go cross country skiing nearly every morning before school so I guess that helps.” Fletcher beat his closest rival at the regional championships by four hundredths of a second, with the third place getter only 0.09 seconds behind Fletcher. “When I finished the race I thought I got top three,” Fletcher said. “We were told to look at the board to find our places. “I was really nervous, then I saw my name at the top of the board with 13.98. “I just did a fist pump and was like; ‘Yes!’.” Fletcher has been dreaming about having his name in the record books since he was six years old. It was

The JCS 4x100m 11 years boys’ team of Mackenzie Sadgrove, Benjamin Wynn, Fletcher Thew and Griffin Swan. a feat his dad achieved as a 14-year-old when he set an Australian age record of 10.9 seconds - a record he matched with his competitor in a tie - and Fletcher has spent many an hour pouring over the record books hoping to emulate his father. In 2013 Fletcher made it to the NSW Primary Schools Sports Association Championships at Olympic Park where he made the junior finals and finished a credible fourth in an incredibly tight final. Two weeks before the regional athletics championships last year, Fletcher sustained a neck injury playing rugby which ruled him out of contention for his track event. This year Fletcher is aiming high at the State Championships. His goal is to win the 11 years final and break the current NSW record for junior boys. “I’ll start training really hard as soon as winter finishes,” he said. “If I win in Sydney I’d be

really chuffed and I really want to break that record.” Fletcher will be joined in Sydney by fellow JCS students Thomas Old and Tori Flanagan, both of whom came second in their 100m finals. Tori came sixth in her heat at last

year’s state titles but has set herself the goal of making at least the semifinals this year. “I was really excited to make it through to state,” said Tori, who also came third in the eight-10 years long jump.

Thunder Local Hero program - nominate now School children across the Cooma region will again have the chance to get closer than ever to their favourite Sydney Thunder players as part of the Thunder Local Hero Program. Sydney Thunder Local Hero Program gives Cooma schools the opportunity to adopt a Sydney Thunder player for the summer and be part of the Thunder Nation for BBL|05 starting in Term 4. Thunder Local Hero is open to primary schools across NSW and the ACT. It is a free initiative. The Local Hero Program aims to engage school children in Stages 3 and 4. Primary and secondary schools can register for the program, which has allowed 40,000 students to directly talk to their Local Hero through email, Skype and letters. Captain Michael Hussey, along with Shane Watson, Usman Khawaja, Gurinder Sandhu, Pat Cummins, Aiden Blizzard and their Sydney Thunder team-mates will be adopted by schools as part of the program.

Sydney Thunder’s star batsman Aiden Blizzard this week visited the BBL|04 winners of the Local Hero Program, Burrabadine Christian School, and said the program provides a great opportunity for the players to give back to the club’s youngest supporters. “Giving back to the community is something I’m very passionate about,” said Blizzard. “I grew up in the country so the access I had to elite-level cricketers was quite minimal, so to be able to go out there and see these kids, I can just imagine if I was in their shoes it would’ve made my day.” The big-hitting Thunder batsman says the Thunder Local Hero Program provides a humbling experience for his team. “Getting to grassroots and getting out to the community is something I’ve really enjoyed in the past and something that blew me away going to the primary school this week,” said Blizzard For details on the program head to sydneythunder.com.au/localhero

Get hooked on fishing Students in the Monaro are being encouraged to sign up for this year’s ‘Get Hooked…it’s fun to fish’ recreational school fishing program. The Member for Monaro John Barilaro said the program is aimed at primary aged children teaching them to fish recreationally and encouraging them to get away from screens and get outdoors. “Fishing was a popular past time of mine as a youngster and I fondly recall many trips to Googong Dam to cast a line,” said Mr Barilaro. “Fishing is one of NSW’s most popular recreational activities with 30% of our region considering themselves

recreational fishers. “I want to encourage schools in the Monaro to get involved in the program which is designed to teach students show to fish responsibly and be mindful of the environment and aquatic habitats.” There’s a fun resource kit, DVD and comprehensive teachers manual for educators, as well as the assistance of enthusiastic volunteers and workshops, to take children on a fun, fishing journey.

Group 16 youth Initiative plans A major sponsorship deal between Group 16 Rugby League and Red Energy and Country Rugby League will see an innovative scheme called ‘High Performance Training Squads’ rolled out across major towns in the south east over the next few months. The scheme is aimed at 15 to 17 year old kids and involves a series of one day ‘ camps’ which will include high performance coaching that will cover high level rugby league skills training , nutrition and drug / alcohol awareness . “This is groundbreaking stuff,” Group 16 President Dean Lynch said, “Not only will these camps enhance the skills of existing young rugby league players in our area but they will also offer the chance for any new kids to discover how involvement in sport can enhance their life.”

The program kicks off in Eden on the 20th of September with the dates as following : Eden/Merimbula 20/9 /2015 Bega/Tathra 24/10/2015 Narooma/Cobargo 7/11/2015 Moruya/Batemans Bay 28/11/2015 Cooma/ Bombala 12/12/2015 Red Energy CEO Iain Graham said “We are excited to be supporting group 16 and the local youth in the region.

BUSHPIGS WIN ANOTHER

CHAMPIONSHIP!

The Jindabyne Bushpigs have won yet another grand final after finishing the 2015 season as minor premiers of the Monaro South Coast division two. The Piggies met the Bundgendore Mudchooks at John Connors Oval last Saturday in a very physical grand final. Jindabyne opened the scoring with a try by Dave Akkersdyk in the first five minutes, shortly after he was denie a try. Jake Roarty converted to give the Piggies a 7-nil lead. Soon after, the Mudchooks were awarded a penalty and their fullback made no mistake in kicking a goal, taking the score to

7-3 to the Pigs. A good combination between Matt Caldwell and Jerome Waito saw Jerome cross only have the try disallowed. From the start of pay, the ball passed to Man of the Match Dave Akkersdyk who crashed over for try number two. Once again, captain Jake Roarty converted, taking the score to 14-3. The play was intense, with a bit of argybargy taking place prompting the referee to lay down a few ground rules. Neither team was prepared to give an inch, but persistence by the Pigs paid off as Lucas Rixon ran in another try, which was

once again converted. Close to half time, Craig Dixon and Josh Shortland combined for Josh to get over the line to take the score to 24-3. Roartyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conversion took the Pigs to a handy halftime lead of 26-3. After the break, Bungendore came back on the field full of attack. Play was stuck in close to their tryline for the first 15 minutes of the game. The Mudchooks finally had a player over the line to take their score to 10, with the try converted. Once again, the Pigs had to defend, defend, defend, but again, the Mudchooks

grabbed the ball and a 25m sprint saw them score another try. The conversion moved them closer to the Pigs, with the score 2617. A 35m sprint by Matt Caldwell, in which he dodged about five tackles, had the crowd on its feet as he scored a strong try. Lucas Rixon chimed in shortly after to add to the score. Both tried were converted by Jake Roarty to give the Pigs a 40-17 lead. The Mudchooks struck back with late tries, but the hooter ended their run home. Final score Bushpigs 40 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mudchooks 34.

2015 finals season finishes for Cooma Colts Sports Power Under 10’s

The Cooma Sports Power Under 10’s played at Rugby League Park in Canberra against the Goulburn Maroons in the elimination semi-final on Sunday. They met each other two weeks ago, and the Colts went down by two points back then, and wanted to make amends. They started off

with great intensity, tackling well and running hard. Louie Mould crossed the try line with a great determined run, and Maison Turner added the extras. Goulburn hit back with a quick try. From the re-start, Jordan Williams and Azack Morgan pushed deep into their territory. Flynn Palmer scooted from dummy half, pushed two defenders off and

scored. The goal was missed. Charlie Paul and Jacory Hart put pressure on the opposition’s defence, which caused the turn over. Solid runs from the twins, Cooper and Toby Inskip, had the Colts pressing their line. After several hold-ups in goal, the Goulburn side got a turn over, and attacked back. Then they finally scored and converted, to go into the break leading 12-10. The second half started with U A N ITE OM D a kick off from the Goulburn CO side. They somehow regathered the ball and scored soon after, FILLIES pushing the lead out by 8. Justin McDonald had several hard runs from first receiver, but the Goulburn side did their homework and had the ‘danger man’ surrounded. After several raids at the Goulburn try line, Cooper Inskip did a sneaky grubber behind the line. Louie Mould was quick to dive on it, to score his second. Toby Inskip converted, leaving the Colts still behind by two. The fresh reserves Charlie Wiggins and Mitchell Burke assisted in tackles and were eager in attack. After some good lead up runs from Thomas King, Mason Turner received the ball and showed his pace, to score a great try. Louie Mould converted to put the Colts in front by four points, with seven minutes to go. Goulburn, who were a bigger side, used their big men up the middle to score and convert with three minutes remaining. Cooma were now behind by two. It

was a ‘ding-dong’ battle, with both sides playing great footy and very evenly matched. With only seconds to go, the Colts got a penalty. As the siren sounded, Cooper kicked over the top, and the ball bounced awkwardly. Mason Turner was swooping in for it, but the maroons dived onto the ball and held on to win by two points: 22-24. It was a see-sawing game, with the whole Colts team playing an excellent game. They were missing two vital players in Jack ‘Thumper’ McPherson and Jack ‘Frosty’ Kleven. It’s the end of the season now for the Colts Under 10’s. They can hold their heads high, and be very proud of themselves for the awesome year that they’ve had, improving heaps in every facet of the game. Many thanks to Manager Mark Wiggins, First Aiders John Kleven and Johnno Morgan, League Safer’s Lachlan and Richard Inskip, Camera Lady Sharon McDonald, and to all the parents for travelling to and from each game. Dodd’s Hotel under 16’s Cooma Colts under 16’s played Valley Dragons at Raiders oval in Belconnen. Cooma travelled to Raiders oval in Belconnen to come up against the Valley Dragons in a knock out semi-finals. The weather was warm and the skies were clear and both teams were keen to run out and fight for the chance to play in the grand finals. Both teams started strong, but Valley Dragons were able to put the first points on the score board, this didn’t deter Colts at all if anything it

made them more determined. The defence from Cooma was amazing, they held off Valley Dragons, who had a strong attack line. Cooma was able to score just before half time, bringing the score 24-4 Dragons way… Back in the change rooms the boys communicated well and headed back out on the oval with the same spirit they had at the start of the game, and this certainly showed especially in their team work and ball skills. The boys played harder, stronger and smarter, which made our supporters cheer more, especially Elly Hedger who lost her voice cheering. Both teams tried again with successful conversions. Final score being 30 – 10 Valley Dragons way Tries went to Bill Zammit x 1, Lachlan Jones x 1 and try conversion Will Shingles. A massive congratulations to Cooma Colts 16’s. What an amazing group of young men full of talent, respect and true friendship amongst them all. This season was a brilliant season and you should all be very proud and we hope to see you next year in the mighty Stallions. Firstly, a big thank you to Dodd’s Hotel for their sponsorship, Coach Gob (Colin Shingles), Manager Mango (Mick Hedger), First Aid Katrina Hedger, League Safe Tammy Byrne, League Safe Brian Chelan, League Safe Tom Connelly. Secondly we would like to thank all the parents and supporters, Joe Zammit for being ground manager, Katie and Ashleigh for their computer skills, also Ashleigh for your photos and videos of the games. You helped make this season successful.

Red Devils U14s Red Devils Under 16s into grand final impressive win The Cooma CRT under 14shad an impressive 38 to 17 win over royals in the major semi final on Saturday in Canberra. The game was a torrid affair but got off to a flying start when Bailey Rogers saw an opportunity down the blind side to score a try and get his team on the score board. Cooma were building confidence as they were moving the ball around nicely which allowed Remey Oldrey to slice through a couple of Royals outside backs to crash over for the try. Royals hit back soon after with a couple of tries of their own with their hard running outside centre who had a great game and was their standout player. Cooma were playing good rugby winning more line out ball with Ibi Hudson and Dean Rogers good in the air as they were being well supported by Nick Cootes and Daruis Cook. Cooma were playing good field position during the match and with a great kick and chase game led by Jimmy Hayden, Bailey was able to tackle the fullback as the ball popped loose and James was jolly on the spot to dive over for the try. Cooma were playing good semi final rugby and seemly hungry for the win, Cooma made good metres through the middle of Royals as Nick Cootes, Archie Allen and Sam Sergo marched the ball forward causing problems for Royals defenders. This again allowed Remey Oldrey space out wide to crash over for the try. Bailey also scored late after chasing and regathering his chip kick to score next to the posts. Final score Cooma 38 - Royals 17, Bailey four conversions. This was a pleasing result for Coach Rogers who said his team was fantastic on the day as several players were a bit crook with bird flu or something. But to put all that aside and to have everyone contribute and give 100 percent showed great commitment and a desire to win. Hopefully everyone can get well for next week and to put in one more huge performance. Points for the match. Bailey Rogers 3pts as he led the team around well, 2pts Remey Oldrey, had a good game as he found his way to the try line with good determination. 1 pts Jimmy Hayden, who played great field position and got us out of trouble in our own half. 1 pts also shared between Daniel Stove, who led the backs up well in defence all day, Keegan Caldwell, who returned and ran the ball back with interest every time Royals kicked it to him. This week’s grand final will be played at Viking park , Erindale, at 1pm. Also congratulations to the 16s as well who will play in the gf also at the same venue, in what should be a great day for Cooma rugby club. Come on Red Devils..

Sportspower U16 Red Devils have played their way into next weekend’s grand final against undefeated Tuggeranong Vikings by defeating Broulee 27-19 in Canberra last Saturday. The Devils could be excused if they were a bit rusty for not having played in a few weeks with their last two games won by forfeit, but their aggression and commitment was anything but. This was a tough physical game with Devils and Broulee very evenly matched teams. It was almost halfway through the first half before Will Moore opened the scoring for the Devils with a try out wide and converted by James Cahill to lead 7-0. Broulee scored the next two tries and had a 7-14 lead but the Devils composed themselves and with continued pressure on Broulee’s defence looked certain to score when the referee sent a Broulee player to the bin for spoiling the play. Azzam Hudson took advantage of the extra space and dived over for a try, the conversion was unsuccessful so the Devils went to the halftime break two points behind 12-14. The second half

couldn’t have started better for the Devils, when off the back of some strong forward hit ups the backs spun the ball wide and Callum Sewell pushed off a couple of defenders ran down the side line to score out wide and put the Devil’s back in front 17-14 with the conversion unsuccessful. The game turned into a real battle for the next twenty minutes with both teams having opportunities only to be denied by desperate defence before Broulee was able to score and take the lead 17-19. Again the Devils didn’t panic and found another gear, strong running and clearing out in the mauls had Broulee back peddling and backchat toward the

ref by Broulee cost them valuable field position. Bill Zammit made them pay dearly when he burst over to put the Devil’s back in the lead 22-19. From then on the Devils didn’t let up and Jack Adams sealed the win with a try just before the bell to win 27-19. Coach Peter Ingram was extremely happy with the way everyone played exceptionally well. Their commitment at the breakdown and the effort and desperation shown in defence by all the boys made it impossible to single anyone out for the points this week. Good luck Devils in next week’s grand final and congratulations on a fantastic year!

Cats win through to final at Cootamundra

Cooma Cats have won through to their footy final to be played at Cootamundra next Saturday. The Cats overcame the Yass Roos at Snowy Oval on Sunday to book their place in the final. The final score: 9.16.70 to 8. 7. 55. A slippery oval after overnight rain made playing conditions less than ideal, but despite some scrappy play by both teams, the Cats were able to take and hold the lead for the entire game. When Yass turned up with only 14 players, it looked like the Cats could be cruising to victory. However, as the game progressed, more Yass players arrived so they had the full complement by the final siren. A highlight of the game was the celebration of Tony Fleming’s 100th game for the Cats. The team formed a guard of honour for him to run on and at the end of the game, carried him off. He celebrated by being one of the Cats ‘seven goal kickers for the day.

Cooma has had some tough tussles with Yass in recent years and Sunday’s match was no exception. In a hard and fast game, the Cats were unlucky not to record more six-pointers and a resurgence by Yass in the final quarter had spectators concerned as at one stage there was only a two-point margin. However, the Cats were regaining the upper hand as the final siren sounded. Goal kickers for Cooma were D Wicks 2, Z Bowden 2, K McPherson, T Fleming, N Runge, M Johnston and J Gordon one apiece. Best players on the day, N Runge, J Lopes, Z Bowden, S Hunter, S Bahr, M Johnston and J Gordon. The Monaro Post wishes the Cats all the best of luck for this weekend’s match. Carn the Cats!

Another Australian champion for JCS Jindabyne Central School (JCS) is boasting a new national champion after 13-year-old Abi Harrigan collected titles in slopestyle and halfpipe at the Australian Junior Freeride Championships on the weekend. Close behind Abi was fellow JCS student Teagan Firle, 11, who collected the silver medal in the halfpipe event held at Perisher, while Year Five student Charlotte Linton won the Mini Grommet division for girls and Joey Ellis and Nate Woods were second and third respectively in the boys Mini Grommet division. Abi won the national championships after successfully completing a 270 to Switch, two 360s and a 540 turn on the slopestyle course along with grabs and 360s on the halfpipe. It’s the first year skiing has been included in the Australian Junior Freeride Championships – a freeride event for six to 18 year old skiers and snowboarders. The ever-humble Abi said she hoped more girls would compete in next year’s championships. “It would be good if other girls got involved so the competition gets a bit stronger,” said Abi, who has spent the past few weeks practising for the championships. “I’m really proud of my achievements after putting so much work in.” Fellow JCS student Adam Lambert had a recent podium finish at the International Ski Federation (FIS) Snowboard Cross event at Mt Hotham. Adam, who is in his final year of school, shared the podium with two-time world champion Alex “Chumpy” Pullin on day two of the Australia New Zealand Cup. Pullin finished in first place ahead of Australian Olympian Cameron Bolton while Adam collected the bronze medal. JCS had a host of podium finishes at the Thredbo and Blue Cow Cup events held on the weekend. 10-year-old April Wynn collected a hat-trick of wins in the under 12 events at the Blue Cow Cup, winning the dual slalom, skier cross and giant slalom ahead of fellow JCS student Jessica Dawson in second place. Year Eight student Emmie Phillips recorded one of the fastest times of the day to win the under 14 giant slalom at the Blue Cow Cup and backed up on Sunday to win the skier cross. Year Six student Fletcher Thew and 15-year-old Sarah Lambert also won their skier cross divisions at the Blue Cow Cup event held at Sun Valley. At the Thredbo Cup - a Ski and Snowboard Australia race - Year Five student Letitia Murphy claimed victory in the under 12 giant slalom and two second places in the slalom events. The results bode well for next week’s NSW Interschools Championships at Perisher when JCS will defend its title as the best primary snowsports school in the state.
