Anzac commemorations across the region BOMBALA COUNCIL GENERAL MANAGER: Ms Ngaire McCrindle The ANZAC Day ceremonies gave us all time to stop and reflect on the ongoing sacrifices made on our behalf by members of the Armed Forces.

While our relative isolation, and indeed Australia’s relative isolation, protects us from the horrific events currently unfolding in many parts of the world, our armed forces and their families still have to deal with ongoing problems, particularly mental health issues. As the commemoration of the Centenary of ANZAC continues, I hope that our local projects and memorials provide the community with opportunities to reflect on history and recognise the sacrifices made.

The preparation of next year’s draft budget is nearing completion with Councillors and Senior Staff working through these documents and reviewing the Operational Plan for 2016/17 and the accompanying budgets. These plans will be considered by Council in May and then placed on public exhibition for community comment. As Council is currently in a merger proposal period we are limited in what can be considered as the Operational Plan and Budget must comply with the previously adopted Strategic Plan 2013-2025, the 4 Year Delivery Program 2013-2017 and the Long Term Financial Plan. The Operational Plan will then be placed on public exhibition for 28 days before final adoption by Council. I urge all community members to review the Plan and make submissions. It is you Community Plan, prepared by your Council, for our Community.

Residents turn out in force to commemorate Anzac Day 2016 Around the region on Monday, residents turned out in their thousands to commemorate the 101st anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli and the centenary of the first Anzac Day services.

Every town and village across the Monaro and Snowy Mountains reported big crowds at both dawn and morning services.

In Bombala and Jindabyne, horses and riders were a feature of the marches.

Jindabyne also had a fly-over of aircraft from the Jindabyne Aero Club as well as representatives from the Royal Australian Navy’s 723 Squadron.

The Bombala RSL Sub-Branch again welcomed a series of special guests to town for the day, including a Catafalque Party and a piper from the Australian Defence Force Academy, as well as contingents of both the Australian Navy and Air Force.

In Cooma, Kokoda Company joined the march and commanding officer Captain Jessica Boyd was a guest speaker, as was Fr Mick McAndrew.

Two special awards were announced - the Anzac of the Year for 2016 was Kaye Anderson, while Claudia Bridgewater won the John Holden Memorial award.

Anzac Day address - we must never forget Bombala RSL president, Rob Letts As we commence our national day of commemoration we remember those Australian and New Zealand soldiers who served at Gallipoli, over 8000 who died, those who were wounded and those who served and lived to fight other battles.

All these men and women helped put us on course to proud nationhood.

We know that the Queenslanders of 9th Battalion, 3rd Brigade, were the first ashore at about 0430 on Sunday April 25.

Ships’ boats, commanded by midshipmen younger than those on guard this morning, had brought them from the relative security of the troop transports anchored offshore to the steep beach on the Gallipoli Peninsula.

Bear in mind that the notion of an opposed landing from the sea was a new concept to the armies of 195. This was a case of on the job training, with the added drama of a brace and entrenched enemy vigorously defending their homeland.

Although our troops secured the beach and later the higher ground, there was no degree of certainty about our foothold.

The Anzac troops remained where all, except a few advance elements, had been ordered to entrench.

The enemy had regained the main prominence, Baby 700, in the fierce struggle following the landing and had gained a footing on the almost equally important 400 Plateau.

So it was that by the beginning of May, a week after the landing, our troops had not reached their original objective.

The result was, that with the enemy dominating the centre of the position, the Anzac positions were tactically unsafe.

Little did you troops realise that in commencing to dig their trenches they would be starting on a trench warfare journey which would continue for the Gallipoli campaign and into the slaughter on the Western Front and not end until Armistice Day on November 11, 1918. It was fortuitous that during this early entrenching phase the enemy did not press

his strength against the relatively small force ashore at Anzac Cove.

Similar to the orders coming from High Command in London, the Turkish High Command issued orders for the frontline troops to refrain from any general attack, for the present.

These decisions were based on the results of the bloody fighting which had occurred in the first two weeks after the landing.

The tasks of the opposing armies at Anzac thus became, for the first time, trench warfare. They differed from those of later years in France, in that the troops immediately behind the line had not only to

guard the positions but to undertake the intensified work of sapping, tunnelling and digging in every direction to extend their tenure.

Added to this was the need to carry ammunition, rations and water to the forward trenches. There were rarely any periods of nominal rest. The fact that the Turks needed, at any time, only to rush our troops off a few yards of hill in order to hurl them from their precarious foothold, caused tension in the front line.

The official war history states this tension was far greater than the Australian Imperial Force experienced in any other theatre of war.

Raids on enemy trenches continued.

Increasingly the High Command favoured demonstrations or feints against entrenched enemy fortifications.

These feints were intended to confuse the enemy into believing that the attack was a major one and to deploy reinforcements. This was to assist a larger allied attack further along the front.

One of these feints occurred on June 28 when troopers from 7th Light Horse, together with 5th Light Horse, attacked the enemy positions at Balkan Gun Pits and nearby Echelon trenches. By the time the fighting subsided and the rear-guard withdrew, five Light Horseman were dead and about 20 wounded.

On August 7, another feint occurred at The Nek, involving troopers from 8th Light Horse supported by the 10th Light Horse.

The official history records that “if all the Turkish trenches were manned the task would be absurdly beyond the power of the Light Horse. However, the staff did not expect that any but the foremost Turkish trenches would be occupied heavily”.

Since the hill crest, along which the Light Horse must first charge, was a narrowing one between steep gullies, the number of Light Horsemen in each line was limited to 150.

Two regiments of the 3rd Brigade, the 8th from Victoria and the 10th from Western Australia, were to undertake the main task, four lines, two from each regiment, following each other in quick succession.

The troopers were warned in orders, that the garrison maintained by the enemy in his trenches, appeared of late to be ‘not light,’ that machine

guns were believed to exist in five positions, all commanding the approach to The Nek and that the fighting might disclose other machine guns.

The attack was scheduled for 0430. From 0400 heavy bombardment commenced on the enemy trenches and was planned to continue until immediately before 0430.

For some reason which has never been explained, the bombardment ended seven minutes before the set time.

For the troopers of 8th Light Horse the next seven minutes must have been chilling.

One of those waiting was the commanding officer of 8th Light Horse, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Henry White. He had insisted on leading the first line of his regiment.

The chance that this brave leader would survive on such a day was obviously remote.

Col White, evidently realising this, had gone to the brigade office 10 minutes before the start and held out his hand to the Brigade major, Col Anthill. ‘Good bye” he said simply.

Back on the parapet, in that terrible quiet following the early cessation of the bombardment by the heavy guns, Col White looked at his watch. “Three minutes to go” he said. Then he simply said. “Go”.

The first two lines climbed the parapet and raced into devastating machine-gun fire. By 0445, when the troopers of 10th Light Horse were readied, the roar of small arms which had met the lines of the 8th Light Horse had subsided into almost complete silence.

As the troopers of 10th Light Horse rose above the parapet, small arms fire swelled instantly until its volume was tremendous.

The 10th Light Horse went forward to meet death instantly as the 8th Light Horse had done only 15 minutes before.

Of the 300 8th Light Horse troopers in those two lines, 3,240, including Lt. Col White, were killed or wounded in those 15 minutes.

Exhausted and under-strength, the regiment then played a defensive role on the Gallipoli Peninsula until it finally left on December 20, as part of the very successful evacuation from Anzac Cove.

In the peace and quiet of dawn in Bombala, we reflect and remember, those thousands of Anzacs for whom this day is sacred. They are all gone. Their legacy is all around us.

We must never forget.

High Country Automotive Group has donated a Subaru to be used for Fashionation VIPs this weekend. The wrap on the vehicle is thanks to local artists Stockl Graphics, who have also donated their work for the event.

Pictured, Marnie Stewart, Sue Burke, HCAG’s Jason Kilpatrick, Lynsey Nicholls, Susan Burke and Angela Johnson with the Fashionation car.

Final preparations are underway for the exciting Fashionation event, showcasing local design talent and celebrating a vital part of the Monaro identity, wool. Local community charity group, the Community Chest, is hosting Fashionation this Saturday.

The Community Chest has been going for three years and has 12 volunteer committee members.

Hosting various fundraising events, including morning teas, trivia nights, dinner dances, auctions and garden parties, the committee aims to help those who cannot turn to anyone else. Through an application and assessment process, people within the Cooma-Monaro shire and Snowy River shire community can ask for help with anything ranging from medical expenses and school excursions to firewood and sports registration.

President Marnie Stewart says the Community Chest is very varied in the help they offer to disadvantaged people in the community. The Keeping Kids in Sports Program and Early Childhood Foundation are some of the initiatives they are currently undertaking. “Many organisations such as Community Health and local schools and preschools are beginning to refer people who need help to the Community Chest,� says Marnie, “It is through the generosity and support of the community that we are able to do this.�

Fashionation is another event that will raise more funds for the Community Chest to be able to give help to those who need it most.

With 425 people attending this

Saturday, the numbers have tripled since the last Fashionation event. All seated tickets sold out in one day for the exciting show. There are 11 local designers, who will enter in three different categories; wool, open and a challenge piece, which is to be made from pure Merino wool and donated to the Community Chest to be auctioned on the night.

The wool used is 100 per cent Australian and processed in Albury.

The major sponsor of the event, Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) will also be showing their wool collection on the night. AWI have donated the major prize in the raffle, which will be drawn on the night. The prize is premium economy return flights to Paris and accommodation for two, plus two tickets to the International Woolmark Prize Final in Paris for February 2017. Second prize is an outfit designed and made by a local designer of your choice and third prize is a beautiful canvas photograph by Michael Scott Lees.

There will also be a hand knitted collection submitted by the Community Chest. The pieces have been created by local knitters and using local wool from Bellevue Park.

Being held at Gordon Litchfield Wool on Saturday, all tickets have been sold, but there are still some spots available on the waiting list.

For more information, check out Fashionation 2016 on Facebook and to apply for assistance from the Community Chest, email thecommunitychest@hotmail.com for an application form.

Are you impacted by illegal hunting?

Landholders and other stakeholders are being urged to attend a public meeting organised by the DPI Game Licensing Unit to discuss illegal hunting in the Snowy Region.

Thursday 28 April 7pm – 8.30pm.

Venue – Gaden Trout Hatchery, 224 Gaden Road, Jindabyne.

Issues to be covered include: • What is illegal hunting and how to address it, • Licensing requirements for hunters, • How to report illegal hunting, and • Options available to landowners impacted by wild deer.

Above, the Nassar family of Rose’s Restaurant.

Below, Sydney Weekender presenter Lizzy Lovette in the kitchen with Rose.

Further information about game hunting is available at DPI’s website www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/hunting or call the Game Licensing Unit’s Customer Service Team on (02) 6391 3750.

A range of resources will be available on the night and Game Licensing Unit Compliance Officers will be on hand to provide information and answer your questions.

General Manager, JOE VESCIO

Unfortunately work on resealing of Highdale Centre Car Park, Berridale and the Town Centre Car Park, Jindabyne had to be postponed, due to weather last week. Work on completing the Jindabyne car park is expected to take place this week with Berridale car park scheduled to commence after completion of Jindabyne, weather permitting.

I would like to thank the public for their cooperation during this time and remind residents to check our website and Facebook page for updates. We endeavour to complete these projects before the winter trading season to eliminate any impact on local businesses.

Anzac services were well attended in our shire on Monday. I am always humbled to attend the Anzac Service and this year was no different, during the Centenary of ANZAC (2014 – 2018).

I would like to thank Councillor Smits for attending the Adaminaby service, Mayor Cahill for attending the Berridale service and Councillor Stewart-Beardsley for attending the Jindabyne service, representing Council, and those councillors and staff that attended on their own accord.

The Centenary of ANZAC gives our community an opportunity to continue support, long after the national program has concluded, and remember those past and present that have served, ensuring the legacy continues for current and future generations.

Lest We Forget.

The film crew also visited Kettle and Seed Cafe. Pictured is owner Paula Richardson with Tony Nassar, proud to be putting Cooma on the map.

A film crew from popular Channel 7 show Sydney Weekender paid a visit to Cooma last Thursday.

Filming an episode due to air in mid to late May, the television program is doing a collection of special episodes with Destination NSW. Hosted by presenter Lizzy Lovette, the crew visited Vale Street café Kettle and Seed at lunchtime followed

by Rose’s Lebanese Restaurant in the evening.

Ms Lovette said she thoroughly enjoyed the experience, getting to know the local owners and seeing what they do here in Cooma.

The crew said that both Rose’s Restaurant and Kettle and Seed have a similar philosophy when it comes to their produce – fresh and local for authentic and delicious flavours.

“They said that they chose our restaurant and Kettle and Seed because we were both doing our own thing in terms of produce. Paula with her beans and us with our farm,” said Tony Nassar, “They wanted to showcase what small country towns can do.”

Tony said producers told him that they became aware of his restaurant about two years ago. With an increase in marketing due to the So Much To Love campaign as well as the recent Back to Cooma events over the Easter weekend, they have continued to hear good things about the area.

Owner of Kettle and Seed, Paula Richardson, said that the crew started by filming the coffee roasting process

with Snowy Mountains Coffee, and chatted to staff while they made coffee. They also filmed the baking of a carrot cake and a frittata.

“It was a real adrenaline rush,” said Paula, “It was really nice to be recognised for our hard work. We just get stuck in the day to day stuff and just keep on working. It was really great to be able to stop, get our head above water and know that we’re actually doing alright.”

“I think it really brought our team even closer together as well, which was great because I believe that a workplace culture is so important.”

Once finished at Kettle and Seed, the film crew went to the Nassar farm to check out the fresh organics used in the family owned Rose’s Restaurant. They interviewed Tony’s father Joe, who told them that although the Monaro can have quite a harsh climate, it is still possible to grow a large variety of fruits and vegetables.

Later it was into the kitchen to see Rose work her magic with the fresh produce to create authentic Lebanese dishes.

“The crew said they were more than impressed with what they saw,” said Tony, “They were particularly amazed at the local support we received on the night.

The restaurant was fully booked and I would like to thank everyone for coming along to show their support.”

“The show will be fantastic for the area and will help to put Cooma on the map, and that’s what it’s all about.”

Fuel spill in carpark Cooma Fire Brigade attended a fuel spill in the Coles car park on Commissioner Street on Friday April 22.

Receiving the call at about 11.30am the brigade cleaned up the spill, which is believed to have come from a car with a damaged fuel tank. The driver of the car left the scene without notifying anyone.

Missing man located A Canberra man reported missing in the Adaminay area on

Friday was found safe and well on Monday night.

Nathan McInnes, aged 34, left his home in Canberra and drove to Adaminaby for a fishing weekend on Lake Eucumbene.

He spoke with his wife over the weekend at which point he advised he was driving home. When he did not return home that night his wife became concerned and contacted police.

He was located safe and well about 8pm Monday.

Public meeting to help address illegal hunting problems To help landholders in the Snowy Region address concerns with illegal hunting, the NSW Department of Primary Industries’ (DPI) Game Licensing Unit is holding a public meeting at Jindabyne on later this month.

DPI Game Licensing Unit Compliance Branch Manager, Troy Hogarth, said the meeting presented a great opportunity for landholders and other stakeholders to come forward and discuss issues related to illegal hunting in the region. �During the past couple of months the Game Licensing Unit’s compliance officers have been very busy in the Snowy Region speaking with numerous game licence holders and hunters who did not possess a game hunting licence,� Mr Hogarth said. “A number of penalty notices have been issued, with one individual from Queensland potentially facing three court attendance notices. “We are working with NSW Police in relation to three other offenders and we are also working with some landowners who have

had problems with illegal hunting. “Our presence in the region shows us that the majority of hunters are acting responsibly, but for those who choose to hunt illegally - there is a good chance they will be caught. “When it comes to illegal hunting, we are appealing to the community to assist us by reporting illegal hunters.� address it; licensing requirements for hunters; how to report illegal hunting; and options hunting and how to available to landowners impacted by wild deer.

Special award for district vet

The Monaro’s District Veterinarian with Local Land Services, Petrea Wait, has been awarded a Chief Veterinary Officer’s Award.

She earned the award for her work in leading a response against a “challenging animal biosecurity issue� – footrot in the Monaro.

Following a series of wet years with sustained excellent pasture conditions, the SE LLS received increased reports of lame sheep on the Monaro.

In response to those reports, Petrea has shown significant dedication, resilience and determination in her approach to footrot diagnosis and eradication over the past few years.

At times this work has been conducted under very trying conditions with the local sheep industry divided as the numbers of flock under quarantine for virulent

footrot reached double figures.

Petrea has made valuable contributions to the NSW Footrot Program at both a state and local level through: Her role on the NSW Footrot Steering Committee as the district veterinarian representative; Collaboration with Professor Richard Whittington’s team at Sydney University on footrot diagnostics research; Organising and hosting a recent two day district vet training program for footrot at Cooma and as a key contributor to the Livestock Health Management System Footrot working group.

On Wednesday March 30 the Monaro Acclimatisation Society Inc (MAS) hosted a meeting with anglers and representatives from Snowy Hydro, Kosciuszko National Park, NSW Fisheries, NSW Maritime and the Lake Eucumbene Chamber of Commerce to try and resolve the issue of continuing environmental degradation of the Eucumbene River banks at the Denison Campground near Providence Portal, NSW. President of the MAS Steve Samuels, said his organisation had received many calls from anglers who were concerned that the unlimited vehicle access to the river during the annual brown trout spawning run posed a threat to the river and the spawning fish.

He also said that other authorities such as Snowy Hydro and NSW Fisheries had received similar calls.

The brown trout spawning run in the Eucumbene River has gained significant popularity over the last few years. Last year vehicle counts indicated that up to 140 vehicles per day were accessing the river bank at Denison, crossing the river with drivers often cutting new tracks in an effort to reach more secluded water.

Kosciuszko national park authorities were also concerned over the continued illegal vehicle access to the Park from

the Denison access point.

Mr Samuels said that if something was not done now to limit the damage, he was fearful that authorities would take a hardline approach in the future that might make access to this fabulous fishing event even harder.

The meeting discussed all the issues and it was clear that all present wanted to see angler participation on the river continue, but the uncontrolled vehicle access could no longer be tolerated due to the damage being done.

The obvious thing to do Mr Samuels said was to develop a car park away from the river where anglers could park in safety.

This would stop the damage being done, but would also allow anglers to access the river with relative ease. While it may be a bit of a walk, he said, that is better than losing this fishery either through the spawning run being “loved to

death� or a harsher measure later on when things were much worse.

The meeting members identified that if vehicles were to be directed to a designated parking area it would have to be built above the high water mark of the lake so that it did not become a navigation hazard during higher lake levels.

Mr Samuels said that the meeting resolved to progress the issue. While it is not possible to do anything for this year’s run, he said, the intention was to have the matter resolved for the 2017 run.

Mr Samuels said that he hoped all anglers would recognize the need to protect the river because without it remaining in pristine condition it places the brown trout spawning run in jeopardy.

While there may be a bit of a walk in the future, he said, the benefits to anglers and the fish will outweigh any inconvenience.

Jindabyne landfill Young and Seniors Week hit the catwalk closed for construction Due to site works being undertaken at the Jindabyne Landfill the Second Chance Facility will be closed to the public for the construction of the Snowy River Community Recycling Centre (CRC).

It is expected this project will be completed by July 2016 and the Second Chance Facility will reopen as soon as the construction is complete.

“I would like to thank the community for their patience during this time and look forward to the grand opening of the Snowy River Community Recycling Centre, which will help the community safely dispose of their problem household waste. The closure will also allow staff to restock and set up the Second Chance Facility ready for the busy winter season”, advised General Manager, Joseph Vescio.

Residents with furniture items that are too good to throw away and could be re- purposed through the Second Chance Facility are encouraged to hold onto these items until construction works are complete. Small items will still be accepted at the Jindabyne landfill, and will be used to stock up ready for the re-opening in July.

“Public Safety is very important to Council and we request that residents follow the instructions of Waste Operations Workers on site and stay out of the marked exclusion zones during the construction period”, Mr Vescio.

For further information please contact Council on 6451 1195. Read more about Snowy River Shire Council’s latest news at www.snowyriver.nsw.gov. au

The overlapping of this year’s Youth Week and Senior Week created a spectacular collaboration for the 2016 Op Shop Fashion Show. Participating models were required to be both under 25 or over 55, spanning the generations and resulting in a great show.

“Our older models came from local community services such as the Snowy River Men’s Shed and the Snowy Mountains Neighbourhood Centre as well as volunteers from the Jindabyne Op Shop at the Alpine Uniting Church. Youth models came from Jindabyne Central School and Dalgety Primary School, with help behind the scenes from a youth volunteer from the Snowy Mountains Grammar School”, explained General Manager, Joseph Vescio.

The event raised an impressive $500 which will go towards the employment of a winter Youth Worker for Jindabyne, employed by the Alpine Uniting Church.

“It has been a fabulous whole community event coordinated by Council’s Youth Development Officer, bringing together young and old working together to create an amazing fashion show. Such wonderful clothing was shown off, and lots of laughs on the night. It looks like this event is now an annual must on the community calendar”, Mr Vescio.

The Jindabyne Op Shop (19 Gippsland Street, Jindabyne) is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10am to 2pm, and also on Wednesday nights for an informal supper and drop in for families.

Thank you to local photographer Kerry Beer for the donation of her time on the evening capturing the event.

Helping little Bella Riehs

SO MUCH

Name: Phone:

Wednesday April 27, 2016

At only three and half years old, little Bella Riehs is already showing incredible strength and perseverance, a quality she has obviously inherited from her parents. Josh and Allison live in Jindabyne with their three children. Bella is their third and at about eight weeks into the pregnancy, Allison caught a virus known as CMV. Cytomegalvirus can infect people of all ages and once it is in a person’s body, it stays there for life. Despite this, the virus presents similar symptoms to the common cold and most healthy adults and children will have no longterm effects from CMV. However, it can be very dangerous for unborn children.

Unfortunately for the Riehs family, they have seen the full impact of this virus on their little girl.

Bella was born at 29 weeks and has cerebral palsy, microcephaly, deafness with cochlear implants and global development delay. She is non-verbal, epileptic, is only able to eat pureed food and rarely sleeps the full night through.

Josh works as an electrician, so Allison is often the one to take Bella to her various therapy and doctors appointments, such as physiotherapy, feeding and speech therapy. “It’s all about early intervention,� says Allison, “The more work we can do for her before the age of five, the easier it will be for her as she grows up.�

Allison says that one of the most difficult parts of all of this is the constant travelling for those appointments. Always going to and from Sydney and Canberra, Bella often becomes frustrated at being

cooped up in the car, and unable to communicate her frustration, will scream for the majority of the car trips.

Upsetting and exhausting, Allison describes this as one of the biggest challenges in their lives.

Starting this week, the Riehs family have been given the opportunity to take Bella to Adelaide for brain laser therapy treatment. This treatment will help the brain to repair itself, creating new pathways, reducing the spasticity, and possibly reduce the epileptic activity in her brain.

Going for three weeks, Bella will receive the treatment from two to three hours every day.

The Riehs family are looking for support from the community to fund this treatment, accommodation while in Adelaide and also to attend a follow up course in August to assist Bella in reinforcing the new pathways in her brain.

They would like to thank The Community Chest, and everyone else who has already donated to their cause, and Angel Flight who have kindly offered to transport them to and from Adelaide. The Riehs family would also like to thank Snowy Mountains Care and Early Learning Centre who ran a silent auction to help. When she can, Bella goes to the centre and receives one on one care two days a week. “She just loves going to the centre,� says Allison, “She loves to be with the other kids and her carer, Kerrel, is just amazing. Bella really loves her.�

Anyone can assist Bella and her treatment by donating money at www. gofundme.com/bellariehs, every little bit counts.

Meet our Fashionation designers Set to hit the catwalk on 30 April, Community Chest’s Fashionation is a fantastic event showcasing great pieces of fashion designed by our very own. The Monaro Post spoke with local designers Tracey Lundgren and Gabrielle Merrigan of The Flower Pantry.

Tracey Lundgren Where are you from?

Currently Nimmitabel but originally Western Australia with as few stop-offs in between.

Is this your first year designing for Fashionation?

No. I was part of the first Fashionation in 2014 and it was great fun so I said to count me in if the Community Chest decided to run it again.

Why did you decide to be involved this year?

I enjoyed the first experience and had said I would do it again.

The past 12 months have resulted in changes to priorities for me but participating in Fashionation is something I still wanted to do.

Getting to this point has certainly meant overcoming some of the challenges that life has put up.

How did you get into designing?

I have been designing for most of my life in one way or another.

We won’t go into to much detail regarding the summer of the crotchetted bikini.

What do you enjoy about it?

Playing with shapes, fabrics and sewing is what I enjoy doing.

Sometimes things work out exactly as planned and other times you end up with something entirely different. I am a great fan of going with the flow and doing what the fabric wants to do rather that stick with the original concept.

What advice do you have for aspiring designers?

Be true to yourself and design and create what YOU want to create. Don’t let other people’s opinions get to you. If you can learn something from the feedback then take it, but if what you do is not what they like or they would have done it differently then that’s not your problem. Do what you want to do.

---------------------------------------------------------

Gabrielle Merrigan Where are you from?

I moved to Cooma three years ago for my husbands work with Snowy Hydro and we fell in love with Monaro.

Is this your first year designing for Fashionation?

This is my first year.

Why did you decide to be involved this year?

The community chest approached me and asked if I would help out with decorations and put my flower crowns on the runway! I thought they were nuts!!

But since it was for such a fabulous charity and everybody raved about last years show, I thought I’d be crazy not to get involved and help out.

How did you get into designing?

I grew up with an arty-farty flower obsessed Mother and being creative myself, I started helping friends with their wedding flowers and styling. I studied for six months at CIT doing floristry and absolutely loved it, but my style tended to be more garden and nature inspired. I just had to trust what I had learnt growing up and listen to all the positive feedback I was getting and rolled with it, therefore The Flower Pantry was created - seasonal fresh flowers, wedding flowers and styling.

What do you enjoy about it?

I enjoy everything about floristry from growing flowers, meeting with brides, but mostly I love the way flowers make people feel.

What advice do you have for aspiring designers?

My advice to other designers would be if you’re passionate about your creative talents and think about nothing else, be confident in your own style and give anything a go!

Meet our Fashionation designers Set to hit the catwalk on 30 April, Community Chest’s Fashionation is a fantastic event showcasing great pieces of fashion designed by our very own. The Monaro Post spoke with local designers Elle Hopwood, Flora Elliot and Talia from Princesses and Punks.

Elle Hopwood

Is this your first year designing for Fashionation?

No. I was in Fashionista 2014 which was a wonderful event and I felt very proud to be a part of it.

Why did you decide to be involved this year?

I was invited to be part of the Fashionation.

How did you get into designing?

I became involved in working with furs because I became aware of the harm to our native animals caused by the feral fox. I was fortunate to attend a Finnish university for four months learning to work with fur.

Where are you from?

I live just outside Berridale.

Is this your first year designing for Fashionation?

No.

What do you enjoy about it?

I enjoy working with fur because the fox is a beautiful creature with beautiful fur. I am enjoying creating accessories and simple outerwear as well as cushions using either Finnish fur or our own Moonbah feral fox.

Why did you decide to be involved this year?

The Cooma Community Chest provide a much needed service to the community. We all benefit in one way or another by supporting them.

Elle, Flora and Talia are three of 10 local designers signed up for Fashionation, to be held at Gordon Litchfield Wool at the end of the month. In the lead up to the event Community Chest is holding a very exciting raffle. First prize is an incredible trip to Paris. Premium Economy return flights and accommodation for two, plus two tickets to the International Woolmark Prize Final for February 2017, you cannot buy tickets for this event. Second prize is an outfit designed and made by a local designer of your choice and includes the supply of material. Third prize is a beautiful canvas photograph donated by Michael Scott Lees. Any of these prizes would be great to pick up, especially at only $5 per ticket. Grab yourself and your friends one at the Fabric Salon, Blaxland, Mawson and Rose and the Cooma Visitors Centre.

What advice do you have for aspiring designers?

Follow your dream and don’t give up.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Talia of Princesses and Punks Where are you from?

I moved to The Monaro a year ago from the huber region.

How did you get into designing?

Difficult question! I’ve been sewing since I was at school and I’d call myself a ‘dressmaker’ not a designer .

What do you enjoy about it?

Making women feel special and good about themselves.

What advice do you have for aspiring designers?

Hmm... Ask yourself what sort of work you see yourself doing and then don’t loose sight of that as you’re working towards it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Flora Elliot Where are you from?

I grew up in Adelaide and moved to Thredbo to further my career in hospitality. I purchased the squash courts in Jindabyne since I was a keen squash player and stayed here ever since.

Is this your first year designing for Fashionation?

Yes it is.

Why did you decide to be involved this year?

Marnie asked me if I would be interested and having seen the previous creations I was really excited to be involved.

How did you get into designing?

I have been sewing since I was about eight. I have done some designing in women’s wear but once I had my children it was an obvious transition into children’s wear out of necessity. I couldn’t find quality clothes that I liked at a reasonable price.

What do you enjoy about it?

The freedom of colour and fabric choice with kids wear. I focus my garment design on being comfortable and sturdy for play but it leaves a lot of freedom for creativity with colour.

With the ‘tween’ age it’s all about finding a balance between something stylish and age appropriate.

What advice do you have for aspiring designers?

If you like it - someone else will. Don’t try and fit yourself into an established style. Be bold.

10 things to do in Rotorua

EVERY TRAVEL NEED COVERED

‡ )OLJKWV ‡ 7UDQVIHUV ‡ $FFRPPRGDWLRQ ‡ 3DFNDJHV ‡ &UXLVLQJ T: 02 6456 1010 F: 02 6456 1216 Postal address: 32 %R[ -LQGDE\QH Travel Insurance is highly recommended IATA: 96-8 39595

The first thing you notice when you arrive in Rotorua is its distinct scent. The hot pools and the volcanic activity in the area leaves a sulfurous smell in the air, however a couple hours later you soon forget it is even there. I only had the pleasure of a day and a half in the area, but I still managed to tick off many of the below activities! Rotorua is lots of fun and a great place to visit for the whole family.

1. Hot springs/baths: Rotorua has hot springs aplenty, perfect for resting tired muscles and easing aches and pains, and even the mud is used in some cases for the skin. Some of the more popular baths include: Hells Gate Spa, The Blue Baths and The Polynesian Spa. You can also visit warm pools and streams such as Kerosene Creek for a more natural experience.

2. Agrodome: A farm experience like I have never seen before! This farm is dedicated to educating tourists in the New Zealand way of farming. It includes farm tours, sheep working demonstrations, and their famous live show featuring some very well trained sheep!

3. Zorbing: A novel activity that has taken off in recent years.

You are put in a giant inflated ball (sometimes with water too) and pushed down a hill. Loads of fun and very popular with kids with an adventurous side!

4. White Water Rafting: Rotorua is very popular for their whitewater rafting. This is definitely an activity for the more adventurous after the thrill. There are many companies operating out of Rotorua, just be careful to choose a reputable operator and you are good to go!

5. Rainbow Springs: A wildlife park that features many native animals, and even includes a Kiwi exhibit! Rainbow springs is very proud of their Kiwi breeding program and you can even sponsor a Kiwi for the naming rights! Other attractions include bird shows, playground and even a splash ride.

6. Te Puia: For a taste of Maori culture, Te Puia is the home of the New Zealand Maori Arts and Crafts Institute, live cultural displays, Kiwi enclosures, the Pohutu Geyser and other geothermal sites.

7. Skyline Park: The Skyline Park at Rotorua is a day out by itself! Featuring a Gondola ride to the top of Mt Ngongotaha, where you can take in the spectacular views! One at the top there is much to do, including having a meal at the Stratosfare restaurant, tasting some wine from the Volcanic Hills winery or even a special astronomy night tour. Other activities are heavy

on the thrills, with 3 luge tracks to choose from, zip lining, a sky swing and even mountain biking is available.

8. Whakarewarewa Village: Take a tour among a living Maori village and experience the culture of the Tuhourangi/Ngati people. See a live cultural performance, and maybe even a Haka. You can also have a meal cooked with the heat of the geothermal activity.

9. The Redwoods: Primarily a plantation forest, this forest is open to the public, featuring walking, biking and horse riding trails and a tree walk. Consisting of mainly Californian Redwoods, this forest is a stunning day out.

10. Hobbiton: This probably should be number 1 on my list, however as it is about an hour drive from Rotorua, I demoted it to number 10. The movie set used in the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies is open to the public and can even be used for special events. Take a tour and learn all you need to know about the set, the movies and the production. Before going home, make sure you stop by The Green Dragon, Hobbiton’s pub, for a microbrewery beer, stout or cider and a hobbit inspired lunch. “In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit� Hobbiton Movie set.

Another successful dance workshop concluded The Tim Draxl Performing Arts Fund hosted another fantastic dance workshop on Saturday April 2 at Jindabyne Central School.

Zac Brazenas, renowned international dancer and choreographer enjoyed last year’s workshop so much that he returned, much to the delight of 34 young local dancers.

The students from dance schools across the Monaro were led through dance routines with Zac, who also shared his personal story of determination and success experienced throughout his life.

The day was made even more enjoyable by a delicious Bar B Q lunch supplied and cooked by the TDPAF committee members with generous help from Irene from Berridale.

During the day Zac observed the talent and skills displayed by all and at the conclusion was pleased to announce the names of five promising dancers to

be presented with a ticket to see The Sydney Dance Company perform ‘Countermove’ in Canberra in May. The lucky dancers are Emma Rae, Emmie Phillips, Brady Jones, Tayla Robinson and Tiane Brown. Grateful thanks for these tickets goes to the artistic director, Rafael Bonachela via Tim and to the committee.

The committee would like to thank Zac for his time and wonderful energy. Everyone at the workshop felt honoured to discover that Zac’s next appointment after Jindabyne was two days later in Las Vegas with Brittney Spears!

Thanks too, to Jindabyne Central School for the continued support of the Tim Draxl Fund and to the dance schools across the Monaro for taking up the opportunities presented.

DAVE THE DATE for the next Tim Draxl Fund event: Jindy Idol on Saturday 24th September 2016. This will be the sixth Idol, promising to be spectacular. Dancers are warmly invited to enter!

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN DOESN’T JUST START. IT GROWS. On average, one woman is killed every week at the hands of a current or former partner. One in three women has been a victim of physical or sexual violence, since the age of 15, from someone known to them.

One in four young people are prepared to excuse violence from a partner.

This is a cycle of violence, which starts with disrespect.

Not all disrespect towards women results in violence.

But all violence against women starts with disrespectful behaviour.

When we make excuses like “It’s just boys being boys”, we allow boys to develop attitudes that can lead to violence. We raise girls to expect ridicule from boys when we tell them “He’s only doing it because he likes you”.

When we do confront unacceptable behaviour, we play it down by saying “Don’t worry, it wasn’t that bad”.

We’re allowing disrespect to become a normal part of growing up.

By doing so, we are unintentionally part of the problem.

We can all become part of the solution.

STOP the excuses.

START a conversation about respect with boys and girls.

SRSC gifts and benefits policy Snowy River Shire Council has developed a draft Gifts and Benefits Policy (GOV 045) which applies to councillors and staff in relation to the receipt of gifts and or benefits received while performing their duties.

This document is now on public exhibition and feedback is sort from the community.

“The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines in relation to this important issue. In the course of their public duties, both councillors and staff may encounter situations in which they are offered gifts or benefits for a variety of reasons”, explains General Manager, Joseph Vescio.

Council’s position regarding the receipt of gifts and benefits is that a councillor or member of staff must not, by virtue of their official position, accept or acquire a personal profit or advantage.

“The policy aims to ensure that our councillors and staff are not compromised when facing an offer of a gift or benefit, as they are required to refuse or at least report these offers. It also reduces the risk of any public perception of undue influence”, said Mr Vescio.

On occasion, members of the public wish to thank Council for going above and beyond, by way of a gift. While this is appreciated, the offer indirectly places the councillor or staff member in an uncomfortable situation whereby they do not wish to offend the individual by declining the somewhat harmless kind gesture.

Council suggests that if individuals wish to show their appreciation to Councillors or staff that a written letter of thanks is always very well received.

You can view the draft policy on Council’s website or by visiting the Berridale or Jindabyne offices.

Submissions will close on Monday 16 May 2016. All comments should be made in writing and addressed to the General Manager, Snowy River Shire Council, 2 Myack Street Berridale NSW 2628 or by email to records@ snowyriver.nsw.gov.au Further information can be obtained by contacting Council on 6451 1195.

New sensory garden opened at Currawarna Hostel The clouds may have kept a few away, but they couldn’t dim the enthusiasm for the opening of the new sensory garden at Currawarna on Sunday afternoon, April 17, in Bombala.

Anyone who remembers the blank canvas that was the yard area of Currawarna would be impressed by the wonderful, multifunctional garden that now flourishes in the centre of the apartment complex for the aged.

Staff and residents welcomed a small group to the opening of the sensory garden, with Currawarna’s Karen Brownlie praising the facility’s Bill Rowley for being the driving force behind the project.

“Many of you would have seen the transformation of this garden from a vast grassed area with three straggly trees and a path leading to nowhere - so uninviting,” Karen said.

“Many of the ideas came from suggestions by staff thrown around the morning tea room, and Bill could see the potential.

“Bill has created an area that we are very proud of. Residents can

walk safely around the paths, always finding something new to look at; play ball games such as bowls, croquet and putt putt golf; plant, dig or pull some weeds in the raised beds; or just sit amongst the garden beds and dream.

“Thank you to anyone who helped in any way; those who spread the cement, not an easy feat; the gardeners who planted the flowers; those who donated money, time and effort.

“But especially Bill, so we dedicate this garden to him.”

Karen then presented Bill with a plaque to be placed in the new garden in his honour, with this leaving Bill what we are assured was uncharacteristically speechless.

He of course thanked Currawarna for allowing him the opportunity to build the garden as he saw fit, and commented that he had simply loved creating it for the residents.

On behalf of the Currawarna Board, Ros Hood also congratulated Bill and the several others involved in the development of the sensory garden, commenting on what a magnificent job had been done.

The group then celebrated the opening with afternoon tea, with all free to wander the new garden, enjoying everything from the fish pond and croquet lawn, to the vegetable gardens, the native shrub beds and the standard roses.

COUNCIL RECEPTION DETAILS Ph: 6458 3555 71 Caveat St Fax: 6458 3777

truth of the matter is we are all being kept in the dark. What we do know is: 1. Council has always resolved as its first preference to remain a stand-alone entity.

2. In November 2015, Council resolved that if the option to remain a stand-alone entity was removed by the State Government then as long as certain conditions were met Council would consent to being merger with Cooma Monaro and Snowy River Shires.

3. The State Government again changed the goal posts and made it quite clear that our conditions on a voluntary merger would not be met. These conditions included the requirement that all merger costs be met by the State Government and the $15 million of community infrastructure be equally divided between the three Councils.

4. Once Council become aware that our conditions on a voluntary merger would not be met, Council again resolved to restate our original position i.e. we wished to remain a stand-alone entity and would only merge if all our conditions were met and if the Government forces us to merge, without meeting our conditions, then the merger would be viewed as a forced merger.

5. Council has written to the Minister for Local Government on the 5 April 2016 restating our position of the 17 November 2015 and informing him that unless our conditions were fully met, we were withdrawing our support for a voluntary merger with Cooma Monaro and Snowy River Shires. In addition if a Proclamation was made to merge Bombala Council with Snowy River and Cooma Monaro Shires without our conditions being met the merger would be view as forced. Copies of this letter were sent to the Premier, Deputy Premier, State Member for Monaro, the Monaro Member of the Legislative Assembly, Federal Member for Eden Monaro and the Labor Federal candidate for Eden Monaro. To date we have received no response from any State Government politician, however we have received a letter in support of our stance from the Federal Member for Eden Monaro, Dr. Peter Hendy.

6. Despite all of the above, we have continued to work closely with the High Plains Forum (Bombala, Cooma Monaro and Snowy River) and have set up various working groups to consider our operations. We have been active within these working groups, which have been gathering and documenting information to ensure all three Councils continue to deliver what we believe to be excellent service to our community, whether we are merged or not.

the

postman calls

Another Anzac Day has been and gone and once again the crowds at commemorations continue to grow.

Rob Letts’ account of the battle of The Nek in today’s paper is sombre reading - so many young men cut down like firewood.

Needlessly.

Mr Letts is correct in his advice “we must never forget”.

Now there is a proposal being floated that school-leavers could do some form of conscription, not necessarily in the armed forces.

The Postman wonders how that would work and if the ‘me’ generation could cope. Social media would go ballistic, probably.

Is there a limit on the number of movies our free-to-air tv stations are allowed to screen?

There seems to be a repeating pattern of golden oldies being aired, especially on weekends.

John Wayne, Peter Fonda and Gregory Peck movies seem to be the most prevalent.

The Postman was a tad disappointed that The Rats of Tobruk wasn’t on the telly on Anzac Day. It would have been fitting for the 75th anniversary of the battle for Tobruk.

Still, The Dam Busters was okay, for the umpteenth time it’s been on the telly.

Hendy and Kelly are MIA Editor, With an election around the corner wouldn’t you think both Drs Hendy and Kelly would be more visible?

The last time I believed they showed up in Tumut was to be….. just like showbags, the Tumut show, sorry at present showbags have more presence and possibly more substance.

Perhaps they could take the scenic route, the Brindabella road,

now there would be a great pork barrowing exercise by either polly, funding for the Brindabella road upgrade. A exercise in economic development.

Our politicians should remember they are in office to make a better tomorrow for their constituents.

David Sheldon Elm Cottage Tumut

Been busy doing yard work over the last week. Mainly weeding, trimming and laying mulch and I have to admit, as a workout it’s a pretty good one. It also shows instant and stunning results, well in the gardens and the yard anyway.

The main garden here though is on a reasonably steep slope, steep enough to send me on a slide if I’m not careful. Unless I go crawling through it on all fours which is what I usually do because that way the only way I can fall is forward and as my position means I’m already half way to a face-dive anyway…it’s all good.

But it’s not all good if I’m also lugging/balancing a giant bag of sugar cane mulch. On the one hand, this stuff is great as it goes a long way, smells nice and looks really good but the bag is a mongrel to haul around with you on a steep slope and when holding it upright against your legs it plays havoc with that forward lean thingy that stops you from toppling backwards! This is where a flat spot would come in really handy, except the closest flat spot is toward the bottom under a cushion of Black-eyed Susan!

That’s actually not all that bad though, in a roundabout sort of way!

Black-eyed Susan in a ground cover that looks very pretty and delicate and which flowers pretty much all the time. But would it, however, cope with a heavy bag of mulch sitting bang on top of it for the time it would take me to empty the bag?

You better believe it! This plant is one tough customer that can spread faster than a stomach bug in a workplace and which can happily bounce back from absolutely anything, so being flattened beneath a big bag of mulch will be a walk in the park for this plant! Well yes, balancing it there did mean crawling up and down the hill between the bag and where I was spreading the stuff but the mild inconvenience was countered by the fact that I was in no danger of doing a series of backward rolls down to the bottom of the garden followed by an air-flip off the retaining wall to finish with a face-splat onto the pavers. I hate it when that happens.

Thing is, that hill garden is the mother of all weed magnets and keeping it free of them is a full-on job and I’m hoping for a little respite, hence the big mulch, so if my nails are ruined, my back screaming profanity at me and my hands and knees feeling like I’ve been crawling over sandpaper all week well, all I can say is it has been worth it.

Everything out there looks very nice and neat! Resident Puss loves the stuff and has been running all over it. It will be great for replenishing the goodies in the soil and keep it from drying out. Mainly though, it will supress all those weeds and that has to be the biggest positive of the lot! Great supressing qualities.

Except for the Black-eyed Susan.

This it will not supress.

Well never mind, it is a pretty flower…

Ray Barron retires from RFS

21

Schute Bell wool report

Warren Schofield handing Ray Barron a Golden helmet and Golden Rakehoe on Behalf of the Monaro RFS volunteers in recognition of his 60 years’ service as a volunteer Bushfire fighter.

Peak View farmer Ray Barron has recently retired from office in the Rural Fire Service after about 60 years.

His service included many years as captain of the Numeralla RFS and 10 years as group captain for the Monaro region.

Ray has resigned as Group Captain but will continue to be of service to the Peak View brigade as a much-valued member and source of knowledge.

Ray is highly regarded by all volunteers, Brigades and RFS staff in the Monaro Region and his formal leadership will be sorely missed.

Hendy delivers funding for Cooma Rural Fire Brigade Member for Eden-Monaro Dr Peter Hendy today joined members of the Cooma Rural Fire Brigade (RFB) to announce $7,962 to fund upgrades on their fire tankers.

Dr Hendy congratulated the RFB on their successful Stronger Communities Programme application saying the project will allow the RFB to install electric hose reels on their fire tankers. “Upgrading Cooma Rural Fire Brigade’s tankers’ hose reels will be a great benefit to their volunteers,� said Dr Hendy.

“Electric hose reels will help reduce fatigue and will deliver safer and more efficient fire-fighting.�

The Federal Government’s Stronger Communities grant will be matched with funding from the RFB to meet the total expected project cost.

The Turnbull Coalition Government will deliver up to $300,000 in Eden-Monaro to fund small capital projects which deliver social benefits and improve community participation and cohesion through the Stronger Communities Programme. “Applicants can apply for funding of at least $5,000 and up to a maximum of $20,000 and must provide matching cash or in-kind funding on at least a dollar for dollar basis,� said Dr Hendy.

Applications recommended for grant funding will be assessed against the Stronger Communities Programme Guidelines by the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development.

For the second consecutive week the wool market continued to struggle seemingly being held ransom to currency movements. The Eastern Market Indicator lost 24 cents for the week but was practically unchanged in US dollars due to the strong jump in the Aussie dollar. Falls were fairly well contained to the first day of sales except for Merino Cardings that shed 61 cents for the week. The market showed signs of strengthening on the final day with some categories gaining a few cents, possibly due to the combination of a high passed in rate and large withdrawals that when combined totalled over 25% of the weekly offering. 35,673 bales were sold nationally for the week with

the major buyers being Global Wool Export, PJ Morris and Lempriere.

Upcoming weekly offerings look like hovering around the 40,000 bale mark before slipping lower during May and barring any further adverse currency movements these lower offerings should help underpin the market.

Forward market pricing also echo’s this sentiment with May and June bid at the close of this week physical.

This week’s sales 38,925 bales are expected to be on offer nationally with 10,349 in Sydney. Schute Bell, Wool Auctions, Goddard & Monaro Wool are selling on Wednesday the 27th of April.

Fiona on Landmark team Landmark Bombala calf sale Landmark would like to welcome Fiona Corby who has recently joined us as the Insurance Account Manager dedicated to servicing the Monaro and Snowy Mountains region. As part of Landmark’s ongoing commitment to provide increased service at a local level, we can now offer a wide range of flexible cover options through our close working relationships with specialty rural insurers and agencies as an Authorised Representative of NAS Insurance Brokers.

More recently, together with her husband Steve, they have operated a respected local business in Cooma which they recently sold to a new generation of local tradespeople.

Based in the Cooma branch, Fiona also works from the Bombala branch at least once a week and Delegate at least fortnightly. Fiona is also available by appointment at any time for an onsite risk assessment.

The Landmark Bombala Calf Sale was held last week with good prices seen across the board despite a general downward trend in the market.

Landmark Bombala manager Matt Green said the day was a big success for vendors.

“It was a very successfull day for the vendors on a downward trend in the cattle market.

On the day the calves looked fresh and sassy and prices held during a downward trend,” he said.

South East Local Land Services is encouraging beef producers to review fundamental aspects of their operations and not to become complacent.

Senior Land Services Officer (Livestock) Matt Lieschke, said while present beef returns were extremely good, it was important to remain focussed on key aspects of beef production.

“These fundamentals include having a clear understanding of what your target market is and then putting a production system in place to meet the market in the most efficient way possible,” Mr Lieschke said.

South East Local Land Services has organised a series of free beef information days with industry consultant Jeff House (Jeff House Livestock) speaking about practical ways producers can improve the output and profitability of their operations.

Mr House has worked with beef producers in breeding, genetic selection, cattle assessment, nutrition

and meat quality.

“Jeff has more than 20 years’ experience in the beef industry and we are excited to have someone of his calibre to share his knowledge and experience,” Mr Lieschke said.

“The beef information days will give local producers an opportunity to gain valuable knowledge from a wellregarded and respected expert in the industry” Mr Lieschke said.

The days will feature sessions on herd management to maximise fertility, how to efficiently produce and market beef and what to look for when buying a bull, heifer selection and live animal assessment.

The free beef information days are being held across the region in early May and beef producers are invited to attend.

• Bannister (Goulburn region) – 2 May 2016 • Nowra – 3 May 2016 • Cooma – 4 May 2016 • Bega – 19 May 2016 To register phone 02 4824 1900 or email michelle.borland@lls.nsw.gov.au.

Landmark and Boller & Co 30th annual calf sale Landmark Cooma and Boller & Company report a total clearance at their 30th annual calf and weaner sale held last Wednesday April 20.

In a very good quality and well-presented yarding of 2168 calves (including 215 steers 14-18 months old), demand varied with steer calves firm to $50 cheaper while generally heifers were noticeably easier, in places to $50 to $60 back.

Buyer support was good but of course due to the widespread continuing very dry conditions throughout Victoria and most of NSW, buyers where selective resulting in most classes easier.

Good soaking rains are definitely needed to strengthen the market.

Quotations: • Steers, 12 – 18 months sold from $805.00 to top of $1300.00. • Top of the Monaro Spring 2015 drop steer calves sold from $850.00 to $1020.00 while the younger 2nd run made from $725.00 to $810.00. Small sheep yard size calves sold from $450.00 to $660.00. • Heifers – the top run of heifers realised from $650.00 to $980.00, the 2nd run from $580.00 to $620.00 while younger pens sold from $380 to $540.

Welcome to the autumn edition of Your Farm magazine for 2016.

As this publication is being produced, the Monaro is holding out for substantial rainfall after a dry end of summer and start to autumn.

Our annual weaner and calf sales have been conducted over the past few weeks, with record-breaking results in the first sales, but dry conditions around the state brought prices back in subsequent sales.

The region is lucky to still have reasonable pasture, in the paddocks going into winter, but the farmers’ lament ‘we need rain’ is as true in 2016 as in other years.

In this edition of the magazine, we look at the 2-bull team Kaludah Hereford Stud is taking to the Wodanga Show and Sale in May. This is the biggest team the Shelley’s have taken to

Wodonga and they have great expectations of this year’s team.

We also report on the recent visit to Cooma of NSW Farmers’ Association president Derek Schoen and the footrot update session held as part of that meeting.

Our feature article this edition is on how one man has created a piece of horticultural paradise in the light, dry soils around Numeralla.

Not only is this enterprise winning international notoriety for the quality of its olive oil, but it is acheiving great results with cherries, figs, louquats, walnuts, almonds, apricots, grapes, plums, and just about anything else that one can think of. It’s an example of how alternative land uses can be acheived where livestock carrying figures are

discouraging.

We look at the careers of a few young people on the land, offer some advice in controlling tapeworms in dogs and talk to Brett Stewart, one of the many truckies who assisted with the Burrumbuttock hay run.

We also highlight upcoming bull sales at Hazeldean and Sparta Angus studs.

Our front page photo leads into another interesting article about local equestrian Michelle O’Neill.

Michelle is a top-notch barrel racer who is now successfully competing on horses she has bred and trained herself. She recently qualified to compete in the barrel races at Equitana in Melbourne in November.

We investigate her philosophy on horses and her training setup at Cherry Tree Equine.

Kaludah off to Wodonga again Pam and Malcolm Shelley began their Hereford stud, Kaludah, in 1970. Next month they are heading to the Herefords Australia National Show and Sale in Wodonga for the 30th time. Of those 30 years, Pam has taken home awards every time.

Winning Most Successful Exhibitor more than 20 times and Grand Champion several times, Pam says it is all very hard work.

Pam says over the years she has noticed that black cattle have become more popular than her Herefords. She believes this is mainly due to the improved marketing for the breed. “There are good and bad in every breed,� says Pam, “But I love my Herefords.�

Pam has always focused on what the industry wants when it comes to breeding and showing Herefords, and it has certainly paid off. “You have to breed what the industry wants, and for me that means you need to worry about the muscle (meat), don’t look at the colour,� she says, “Do you care if your last steak had white on its back? No, it doesn’t really matter.� “At sales it can be difficult. ult.

Some buyers are looking ng to sell on, so they want to make sure the cattle look ok dark. But if it’s going straight ht to the abattoir, as long ng as the muscle is there, it doesn’t matter if they are a little light in colour.�

An example of this policy cy that Pam swears by is her er bull called Rambo. “I took Rambo to the e sale about three yearss ago, but brought him m home even though he sett the world record with an n eye muscle area (EMA) off 156,� she says, “Now I am m so glad I took him home.

He is magnificent and money wouldn’t buy him.� “It has taken me 45 years of breeding to get a bull of this standard and his calves have proven to be outstanding.�

In terms of the Monaro country and the climate, Pam says that Herefords quite like the colder weather. “Where we are located is right in the rain shadow area, in between the east

range and the mountains,� she says, “So we only get a yearly average rainfall of 18 inches. But if this rain comes at the right time, we are fine.� “Despite being pretty dry and rocky, Herefords weigh tremendously off this country. A mouthful of Monaro grass is worth about 10 mouthfuls on the coast.� “It doesn’t matter what you’re breeding, whether it be dogs, sheep or cattle, if they haven’t had enough to eat then they won’t be much good,� says Pam, “Three quarters is what goes down their necks, the rest is mostly genetics.�

Pam has made a name for herself with Kaludah all over the country, but with lots of studs out there now, the market has become very competitive.

Pam’s very first customer, Jim Williams of Steeples Flat has been buying bulls from Kaludah for more than 45 years and he had a magnificent line of calves in the recent sale.

Pam is hoping that once again her passion for her philosophy in breeding will get some good results in Wodonga next month.

Autumn 2016

Brett Stewart’s journey on the Burrumbuttock Hay Run Local man Brett Stewart recently made the journey from Cooma to Queensland on the famous Burrumbuttock Hay Run. Owner of Express Truck Service, 31 year old Brett offered two of his trucks loaded with hay to make the 4,500km round trip to drought stricken farmers in Queensland.

Seeing the devastation first hand, Brett says he has not been able to stop thinking about the experience since his return.

“For once in my life I have swallowed the pill to give, and I have realised we need to reach out and give a hand to our Aussie mates,” he says, “These people were exactly like us, they were hard workers, they had young families, but they were fighting this losing battle of this unforgiving drought.”

Prior to this journey, Brett had never even heard of the cause of the Burrumbuttock Hay Run until he was asked by a friend to donate back in January.

“I didn’t think it could be that bad up there, because I had never heard or seen anything on TV about it or the severity of the drought up there. But I did donate to my friend and as I followed his Facebook updates I soon learnt the cause behind this hay run and was amazed to find it was organised by one man, Brendan ‘Bumpa’ Farrell from Burrumbuttock, NSW.” Brendan came up with the idea for the first hay run in 2014, which attracted 22 trucks loaded with hay for families struggling in Bourke.

The most recent Burrumbuttock Hay Run is the eleventh that Brendan has organised and it drew a convoy of 260 trucks, placing it in the Guinness Book of Records. Two of those trucks belonged to Brett Stewart.

“Growing up in the Cooma Monaro we have all been exposed to the full effects of droughts in our area and seen the impact it has on our farmers and local businesses. With this in mind I knew I had something to give and I set my mind to joining the hay convoy.”

“As organisers were struggling to get the required fuel money donations of $500,000, relying on individuals and sponsors to donate into the Rotary Club of Sydney, Brendan was forced to limit truck numbers considerably due to lack of fuel funding. With my heart set on going, I decided to come up with a different idea and hand pick local businesses in Cooma and Queanbeyan to jump on board and add their business signage all over our two loads of hay and join me for my trip to central Queensland.”

“The support we got from our Cooma businesses was enormous. I didn’t even have to sell it to them; they were just so keen to get onboard for a small donation of a couple hundred dollars. Every donation was accompanied with a sign for their business attached to the load of hay, thanks to Jen Stockl who worked all through Easter to get the signs done for us.”

Brett says he was also very grateful to Trevor Heize from Cooma Coaches.

“I can only describe him as gentle giant with a big heart,” he said, “I approached him with his sign already made, that had no approval from him. After a quick yarn Trevor invited me to bring the hay truck over to his bulk diesel fuel tank where he donated 300L of diesel straight into the truck. That evening as the rain set in, Trevor then gave up his bus shed for us to park the two laden trucks in overnight and also to fit the remaining signage.”

“I would also like to mention Peter Nassar who donated $500 worth of diesel and also discounted his diesel price on the board due to all the local supporters.”

So with the strong support from the Cooma business community, Brett was able to reach his target and fund the total cost of fuel for his trucks to take part in the run.

Travelling from Cooma, through Wagga, Brett made his way to the starting point of the trip at Darlington Point. Here the drivers were briefed on the severity of the drought conditions and the high number of farmers suffering depression.

“We were told to look out, to listen and to pick up on some early signs of suicidal thoughts. We were also told to reach out to these farmers and their families. We were encouraged to keep in touch and make those out of the blue phone calls to the farmers in the future just to let them know that we care and will all band together to get them through these unfortunate times.” ey headed Leaving Darlington Point at 6am on March 30, they north for Ilfracombe, Queensland. Brett says that there were camera crews and families lining the street in the early morning darkness. In every town they were welcomed, with school buses pulling over to let the children out so that they could wave the convoy through.

Stopping at Cobar for lunch, a huge barbeque was provided for the hundreds of drivers. Here they met up with many other trucks, including four others from Cooma. Continuing on to Queensland,

the heat started to set in and the trucks began to suffer. From blown tyres on road trains, split engine fuel lines, blown turbos and failed air compressors, the volunteer mechanics, tyre fitters and auto electricians had their work cut out for them to get the trucks back on the road.

Once arriving at Ilfracombe, Brett was asked to deliver his loads of hay directly to a property a further 230km north, just west of Winton.

Meeting the family that own this 16,600-acre property had a profound effect on Brett. Seeing the conditions they were living in, demountable huts with their in-laws and two year old son, was a real eye-opener. They told Brett that prior to the drought, they had 500 head of cows plus calves, but now there were only 100 cows remaining. With 200 ewes currently lambing, they said that dingoes and eagles were killing them as soon as they hit the ground. Trying to do as much as they can, the family took their cattle out on a stock route for nine months at a time, camping in caravans to keep the cattle off the main road. With banks refusing to help people who have destocked, they have no cash flow to go on with.

“These Aussie farmers were so appreciative of their donated hay, they tried paying me fuel money for the extra drive to their property,” he says, “It was equivalent to a third world country. I felt like I had been deployed to a war zone and meeting such genuine people I felt guilty for leaving them

to fight this drought alone.”

The hay delivered by Brett will last this family two months, and they are hoping to get some winter rain to make it last longer.

Once swapping phone numbers, Brett and his team began the journey home. Staying their first night at Cunnamulla, they found it difficult to find accommodation in the empty town. Eventually finding a pub with a motel attached, they settled there for the night. Having to go to Brisbane for health reasons that week, the publican’s inexperienced daughter g in. Struggling gg g with a keg g that had was filling

run dry dry, she had to call in a casual waitress to help her change it. Brett learned that both these women were single mothers with two young children.

They told him that the owner of the pub brought up two children on her own before meeting a widow and his three children. He died at the age of 49, leaving her with all five children. With people leaving the land and the town in droves because of the drought, running a business is a real struggle.

“This experience, seeing such once big name towns that are now empty and show very little life or prospect made me realise how lucky we are to live in Cooma,” says Brett, “I was proud to have local businesses from our area displayed on our trucks as we made this journey.”

Despite all of the hardship Brett and his team witnessed, they were astounded by the attitude of the people living in these conditions.

“Having felt the full devastation of unforgiving drought, these people still manage to smile and are prepared to not have this drought beat them.”

Creating a little paradise near Numeralla Most people only dream of living and working in their own little piece of paradise.

For George Aoun, though, the dream is a reality and it is growing.

Twenty years ago, George bought 100 acres of land alongside the Numeralla River – he hoped this would allow him to fulfill a childhood dream – that of growing olives.

Fourteen years later and his olive oil, marketed under Snowy Mountain Produce Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil, has again won second place in the Sydney Royal Fine Foods competition.

Next year, George says, he will win.

A Sydney businessman, George and family have been visiting the region for 46 years.

Now, he lives at Numeralla to run the farm and is joined by his family when they are able to get away from Sydney.

The land George bought was treed and scrubby – good enough probably to run a sheep to the acre, but not much more.

But George wasn’t interested in running livestock and was certain the land could be

FARM

used for other purposes – like horticulture.

Testing the soil and correcting it for olive production has resulted in a highly productive 100acres which now carries 4000 olive trees, about 80 cherry trees and an amazing assortment of other produce, such as fig, limes, lemons, apricots, walnuts, chestnuts, almonds, grapes and, this year, pomegranates.

There is also a very productive vegetable garden with pumpkins, okra, tomatoes, garlic, herbs, lettuce, etc.

George’s secret to such productivity is, he says, love and care of the plants.

“You can’t just plant them and hope for the best, you have to care for them,” he said.

Another plus is growing trees in a cold climate.

“Anything grown in a cold climate is better – it takes longer to grow and that allows the flavours more time to mature.

“In a hot climate, everything is produced quickly and the flavours don’t get a real chance to develop”.

Creating a little paradise near Numeralla

Continued from page 4...

George is hoping others take note of what he has achieved in what was pretty poor country.

“I hope the Monaro has changed – I hope people can make better use of the land that is too poor for livestock.”

Harvest on his 400 trees will begin in a few weeks – it is a little earlier this year because of the warmer weather.

He expects to harvest 30 tonne this season, 20 percent of which will be turned into oil.

He is hopeful that within a couple of years he will also be able to offer table olives as well.

The olives, an Italian, Frantoio variety, are picked by hand and cold pressed on the farm – George has just built a new shed to house the press to ensure even better quality this year.

Harvest time means a gathering of friends and family and a lot of laughing.

Once bottled, the oil is stored in a cool dark place until it is sold and shipped out.

The olives are watered via rainfall and bore water – although George has

water rights to the Numeralla River, he does not irrigate his trees.

The cherry harvest takes place in December and is a bit more labour intensive, but worth the effort.

George is in the process of developing a cold climate nursery, using the cuttings and plantings he uses in his own production.

This method ensures a better success rate for his plantation because the young stock is acclimatised before being planted out.

It will offer good strong stock to others to try their hand at diverse horticulture.

While he is celebrating the success of his olives, for George the whole prcess is important.

“Here, it’s like heaven – you do what you enjoy”.

The proof of that, as they say, is in the produce.

Pictured on tihs page: one olive gives up its oil; the oil press; some of the the produce; cherries are available for Christmas; olives nearly ready for harvest.

Growing up near Melbourne, it may seem surprising that Nick Thomas has ended up working on farms in the Bibbenluke, Bombala and Delegate areas, but it’s all come pretty naturally.

“I’ve always been interested in farming,” the 19-year-old said. “Some of my family were involved with it, and I’d spend time on the properties of friends growing up, so I knew it was what I wanted to do.”

While he knew his future was in the paddock, however, ending up on the Monaro was just good luck.

Nick met Bombala landowner, Brad Yelds at Inverloch where Brad’s children were doing Nippers, and before he knew it, he was offered a place as a general farm hand as soon as he finished school.

Nick has been working on Brad’s properties in the Bibbenluke and Bombala areas since November, and now spends even more time working at Delegate Station after Brad introduced him to fellow young farmer, John Jeffreys.

He chiefly works with cross breed sheep on the local properties, and says that of all his tasks on the farm, he enjoys stock work the most.

So what of the future? Nick has his eye

on Marcus Oldham Agricultural College back in Victoria, but is very happy to keep working for the time being.

“I just want to get some solid experience on the farm and see where that takes me,” he says.

Nick is certainly in no hurry to leave the

Training the trainee… Monaro Farming Systems leads the way for future farmers As another year rolls out, Monaro Farming Systems are proud to continue their successful traineeship program in 2016 for young school leavers on the Monaro who are looking for a long term career in Agriculture.

As of the end of 2016, eight young trainees will have been inducted and trained through the program which commenced back in 2012. This year, the trainee is Emma Tangye, another local girl from Cooma. Like in previous years, Emma is working across eight to nine “host” properties in the Cooma and Bombala region.

Emma was the successful candidate of approximately 12 applicants of which a shortlist of six locals were interviewed.

Emma completed her Year 12 last year at Monaro High, completing the agricultural syllabus, and is a very motivated young girl with strong community connections.

Emma has worked casually over the last 4 years at Leo and Sally Percy’s newsagency

feedback.

Richard Taylor comments “Emma is cheerful, punctual, very obliging and keen to learn”.

Her tasks have included administering cobalt pellets to weaners, assisting with ram shearing including drenching and vaccinating, helping out with crutching, drafting cattle and weaners and general farm maintenance.

One of the major challenges facing all farm businesses is to gain a steady increase in efficiencies each year and a major potential area for improvement is labour efficiency.

Craig Mitchell who was the main initiator of this program back in 2012, reminds us all that the focus of this program is not so much about the work the trainee does but “It is about training productive farmers for the future of agriculture on the Monaro”.

We need to “train the trainee to be the most productive and efficient worker that he or she can be”.

Funding for the program has been sourced mainly out of the MFS operating budget with help from RDASI (Rural Development Association Southern Inland), Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) which has paid the trainees to attend the shearing school at “Coolringdon” in May each year as well as NSW Farmers (Cooma Branch) and RB Sellars who has donated work clothing each year.

RSH, Round, Flat cattle rails For more information about this program please contact Nancy Spoljaric – MFS Executive Officer, Nancy@ Meridian-ag.com.au / 0438 066 322 or visit the MFS website www. monarofarmingsystems. com.au and look for MFS Agricultural Traineeships under the Projects tab.

where she acquired a Cert III in retail. As well as this she has completed work experience with Luke Pope at the South East LLS which included working with the District Veterinarian Petrea Wait. As well she has worked during her school holidays on various properties in the Jerangle, Myalla and Murumbucca regions.

Emma applied for the traineeship “To gain as much experience as I can with all the different techniques used for farming on the Monaro” and she says “I have a passion for the agricultural industry and would love to get as much experience as possible.” Emma intends to pursue an agricultural career in the long term which ideally suits the main principles of the MFS traineeship program, which is to attract, train and retain local people in the agricultural industry.

NSW Farmers president visits Cooma In a meeting to discuss native vegetation, footrot, wild dog management and the future of rail trails, the Monaro farming community came along to meet NSW Farmers president Derek Schoen.

One of the most important messages of the meeting was the upcoming native vegetation draft legislation that is about to be released. Mr Schoen said there would be a short time frame for submissions about the legislation once it lands. “It is important that we get as much as we want,� he said, “We don’t want a see-saw effect. We want legislation that is workable and that we can live with.�

Adair Moar, NSW Farmers Policy Director of Environment, gave a presentation on the upcoming legislation, describing it as a huge opportunity for reform.

Following recommendations from the Biodiversity Legislation Review report, the new framework is set to be risk-based and outcome focused, with specific goals to be set to suit any particular region.

The draft legislation is expected to be released in early May, after originally being promised for November last year. Following the release, there will be a six to eight week consultation period, during which NSW Farmers intends to conduct regional forums, including one in Cooma.

Ms Moar also discussed the recent Pest Animal Management Review released by the Natural Resources Commission which calls for regional leadership and delivery through Local Land Services (LLS) pest committees. Another big achievement that has come through in this review is the recommendation of a tenure neutral approach.

Other issues that Mr Schoen said NSW Farmers have faced recently include appointing an Agricultural Commissioner with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) who have previously been difficult to deal with due to the lack of understanding in terms of Australian agriculture.

There have also been some issues facing NSW Farmers

in terms of the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS), who were reported to have been checking vehicles as they were entering the Bourke Show. Using the event as an opportunity, RMS officials were seen to be issuing fines for unsecured loads and other infringements.

Mr Schoen said that this was intolerable, possibly deterring people from attending future rural shows.

Mr Schoen also discussed the upcoming government mergers across the state.

He said that funding is a fundamental problem for this process and that many councils feel they are being combined with other shires with which they do not share a commonality of interest.

He discussed the appointment of a state government Young Farmers Finance Officer. This position is on trial for 12 months and Mr Schoen said that he hoped it would be become a permanent position to continue into the future.

Bombala councillor Sue Haslingden was presented

with a certificate of merit from NSW Farmers by the president.

The award was in recognition for her contribution to the Monaro farming community, her work with NSW Farmers and as a Committee Member of the Monaro Regional Weeds, Noxious Weeds, Racecourse and Recreation Ground Reserve as well as many other ventures.

Upon receiving the award, Ms Haslingden said that when it comes to lobbying politicians and getting policies through, NSW Farmers was our only arm, and believed it was important to use it.

Lamb production estimates lift with more ewes A greater number of breeding ewes on hand has led to 2016 lamb production estimates being revised higher, according to Meat & Livestock Australia’s (MLA) Sheep Industry projections quarterly update, released today.

MLA’s Manager of Market Information, Ben Thomas, said overall supply-side forecasts had been adjusted higher following the recent national Wool and Sheepmeat survey.

The survey showed that the total number of breeding ewes had increased three percent on this time last year to 42 million head – leading to an upward revision in slaughter, production and exports for 2016 and 2017. “There has been a fast start to the year, with lamb slaughter revised three percent higher from December’s forecast to 22 million head, but still three percent below the 2015 record,�

Mr Thomas said.

In terms of production, national lamb carcase weights have held up surprisingly well, despite the hot and dry conditions endured by many producers over the summer months.

However, this is expected to be challenged over the coming winter months, especially if there is no respite in the key lamb producing regions.

Lamb production is now forecast to decline three percent year-on-year in 2016, to 488,400 tonnes carcase weight (cwt).

Australian lamb exports are forecast to remain on par with the previous two years at 235,000 tonnes shipped weight (swt), before gradually growing in line with production to 280,000 tonnes swt, 60 percent of lamb meat production, by 2020.

Across the markets, lamb sales to the US in the lead up to Easter were buoyant, but it

FARM

is unclear how demand will hold up through spring into early summer. While lamb shipments to China have been slightly ahead of year-ago levels, mutton has lagged as a result of the high stocks in the market.

Mr Thomas said in terms of trade lamb prices there may be some upward potential during the autumn months, with export values sitting an average of $1.75 above the national trade lamb indicator. “There are also signs of easing competitive pressure from New Zealand production as the season progresses,� he said. “However, this seasonal rise will be tested by the Australian dollar, which has been trending dearer over the past few months. An Australian dollar on or above 75 US cents instead of below 70 US cents will take some shine off export prices. “Additionally, if continuing hot and dry conditions persist, prices will be tested.�

John Teschke was born and raised on his family’s property at Delegate River, and though he

moved away briefly to learn a trade, at the age of 32 he’s now firmly at the helm of Josslyn Poll Herefords.

The property has been in his mother’s family for three generations, and following his father’s sad passing, John went into full partnership with his mum, and Josslyn has been going from strength to strength since.

Although the property has a history of farming both sheep and cattle, the Teschkes are now all about the Herefords, with John describing them as “good, quiet cattle�. “My grandad had good Herefords, and

bought a bull at the Sydney Show,� he recalls. “And Dad had good Herefords too.

Mum and I started out with commercial cattle before we went into the stud side of things.�

Josslyn Poll Hereford’s philosophy is to breed cattle with sensible birth weights and good temperaments. “Our focus is to produce bulls that produce calves with good growth for the weaner market, but calves that will also keep growing for the finisher market,� John explains.

Since 2010 females and sires have been purchased from some of the top studs in

the country, including the Senior Champion from the Wodonga National Show and Sale, “Days Uriah� from Days Whiteface in Bordertown, South Australia.

As the growing stud business develops, John and Ros have expanded and purchased Church Creek, also near Delegate, now having 1000 acres of cleared land to run their cattle. “I have always had a passion for cattle and cattle pedigrees,�

John says. “We are very happy with what we have produced so far and pleased with the direction we are headed.�

NSW Farmers and AWI discuss footrot on the Monaro NSW Farmers called a meeting in Cooma last week to discuss various issues, including footrot on the Monaro. A few wet summers have led sheep across the region to express footrot over recent years, causing many headaches for Monaro farmers.

Australian Wool Innovation’s (AWI) Ian Evans gave a presentation at the meeting discussing the process of treating and preventing footrot. Mr

Evans was filling in for AWI’s Program Manager Geoff Lindon.

Mr Evans said that footrot is a bacterial

infection, which results in a decrease in wool production, lambing percentages and weight gain.

Current biosecurity policy outlines prevention methods of sheep health statements, quarantine and foot bathing upon introduction to a property.

In terms of treatment, Mr Evans said that farmers need to inspect and pare the animals, administer antibiotics, cull those that do not

respond to treatment and undertake foot bathing.

In terms of prevention and protection for

our sheep, Mr Evans said that although the vaccine called Footvax is no longer available due to a lack in sales, there are new vaccines available known as specific Serogroup Footrot Vaccines (SFV).

The advantage of these vaccines is that they target the exact serogroups of footrot present on any given property.

There are 10 main serogroups, however it is more effective in terms of achieving stronger immunity to administer a mob with only one or two serogroup vaccine.

Mr Evans stressed that one of the most crucial things when it comes to addressing footrot on a property is to plan the process, and then commit to following that plan as meticulously as possible.

Outlining the process, Mr Evans explained that the first step is to obtain swabs from 20 sheep of different ages and from different mobs. It is then sent to Sydney University to test for virulence and serogroups. This will cost approximately $4,000.

If there are too many non-responders, the

next step is to pilot test 100 sheep.

Once complete, with a minor use permit or an emergency permit from the NSW Chief Veterinary Officer through your District LLS Vet, the SFV can be ordered from manufacturer Treidlia.

There will be one strain, or serogroup, per vaccine pack received and you are only able to treat two serogroups at once with one vaccine administered behind each ear.

The cost is about $1 per dose, and there are two doses per sheep for the full course. The second dose is essential and is given four to six weeks after the first. The last booster should be given before lambing and at least four weeks prior to inspection. Ewes can pass passive immunity to lambs, but lambs will still need to be vaccinated at marking. It is also important to vaccinate all sheep on the property.

Mr Evans stressed that this process is to be done in conjunction with foot bathing and paring.

It is not an alternative to these measures.

SFV offers six to nine months of protection and non-spread period. Mr Evans said there will need to be ongoing monitoring and continued biosecurity measures for the process to be effective.

For more information on footrot, Mr Evans recommends visiting the Sheep Connect website (www.sheepconnecttas. com.au) to read their publication on footrot following the outbreak in Tasmania.

Mr Evans also discussed a new test to replace the ‘gelatin test’ called the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test. This test is said to be much faster, returning results in two to three days, and can identify virulence as well as serogroups.

Mr Evans encouraged Monaro farmers to be proactive in their approach to dealing with footrot and to contact their local vet for more information.

Hazeldean autumn bull sale

The annual Hazeldean Autumn Bull Sale, held on â&#x20AC;&#x201C;property at Hazeldean, Cooma will offer 60 of the best of the 2014 drop young bulls.

There will also be a Pre-sale inspection of over 200 commercial females which will be sold on Auctionsplus on Friday May 13 in conjunction with the Auctionsplus Monaro Angus Breeders Sale.

Principal of the Hazeldean Angus stud, Jim Litchfield is upbeat about the next few years for beef producers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The beef industry continues to be a strong and vibrant industry and although seasonal conditions in many areas are a long way from being ideal the upside is the national herd will be at levels where oversupply will be the least of our worries for a long time to come.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bulls we present this Autumn are an excellent group of young workers, fit and ready to work. We are very pleased with the general run of these bulls and think you will be impressed, particularly the sons of Thunderbird and Reality.â&#x20AC;? said Jim. Autumn sale bulls for 2016 are

sired by the top trait leading sires with great attention to structure and temperament.

Hazeldean will offer 60 Performance bulls by top sires Matauri Reality, S A V Thunderbird, Sydgen Trust 6228, Ten X, Haas GPS, Millwillah Gatsby G279, Ardrossan Equator, Dunoon Gothic G531, Hazeldean Harlequin H2, Hazeldean Harvey H14, Hazeldean Flair F493, Tank,as well as other top performing Hazeldean sires.

Hazeldean bulls sire females with â&#x20AC;&#x153;built-inâ&#x20AC;? calving ease. Hazeldean has been selecting for calving ease for more than 20 years - our heifers calve down easily with only a handful of the more than 300 calving heifers having any sort of difficulty. Any female who has problems calving for whatever reason is culled from the herd. Calving difficulties are not much fun to deal with and a live calf worth a hell of alot more than a dead one!

Farmers welcome RSRT dumping NSW Farmers has welcomed the repeal of the Road Safety Remuneration Act 2012, which has the effect of abolishing the Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal and invalidating the Tribunalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orders.

NSW Farmers President, Derek Schoen, said the passage of the Road Safety Remuneration Repeal Bill is a positive outcome for the road transport industry and the agriculture industry that relies heavily on road transport operators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is significant duplication and overlap between the work of safety agencies and the authorities of the now defunct Tribunal,â&#x20AC;? Mr Schoen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the context of existing laws that regulate road safety and heavy vehicle safety, and the limited safety benefit that could be gained from the Road Safety Remuneration scheme, the forecasted $2 billion dollar cost to the economy is a compelling reason to abolish the Tribunal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Tribunalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2016 Order especially impeded on freedom to contract, and it set unreasonable minimum rates for road transport

owner operators, the overall impact of which threatened the business viability of tens of thousands of road transport owner operators.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Schoen said NSW Farmers had persistently advocated for the abolition of the Tribunal and the Association is pleased that longstanding arrangements for movement of produce and supplies could be restored. He said farmers and rural businesses could now run their everyday operation without the fear of large fines or unreasonably high road transport costs looming over them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We congratulate the Coalition government and all of the independent senators who have voted to abolish the Act for making the right decision swiftly. The Tribunalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work had very little to do with improving safety. We support the funding redirection to the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator, an agency that can more directly influence safety outcomes,â&#x20AC;? Mr Schoen said.

The repeal took effect from midnight April 21.

Michelle O’Neill - living the dream and loving it...

Michelle O’Neill breeds horses and teaches horsemanship at her property Greenhills where she runs her riding school Cherry Tree Equine.

Michelle grew up around horses at her family’s property between Cooma and Adaminaby and recalls learning to ride on horses while helping her father.

She was a member of the Adaminaby and Cooma Pony Clubs as a young rider and has always been passionate about horses, and considers herself to be very lucky to be doing something she loves by working with horses every day.

Michelle founded Cherry Tree Equine in 2010 and her teaching focuses on having fun and building relationships between riders and their horses.

She offers a range of clinics from ground work to confidence building, foal handling,

horsemanship, trail riding and barrel racing.

Working on three basic principles, consistency, control and confidence, Michelle holds clinics around the state and at Greenhills where they have a purpose-built arena, round yards and trails spanning 2500 acres.

Greenhills is located amongst a beautiful backdrop of rolling hills and features overnight hil accommodation for riders and ac horses, and Michelle can tailor ho clinics to suit the individual needs cli of her guests.

The scenic property is located near ne Peak View and is peaceful and an serene, making it the perfect place for a weekend getaway. p It is through her focus on establishing and maintaining es relationships with her horses re that th Michelle has been able to make a name for herself as one m of o the leading barrel racers in the th country.

“That’s the focus. Everything I’ve done is focused on this final,” she said.

barrel racing is very fierce, with competitors often scraping through in a matter of 100ths of a second.

Despite the competitive nature, Michelle says there is a great companionship between many of the riders and she has received a lot of support from her friends, particularly Mary Oddy who knocked a drum at Cooma and is still looking to qualify.

“She knocked a drum at Cooma and will try to qualify at another event, but if she fails to do so she said she would come and support me at Equitana anyway. She and Adele are the two girls who have really encouraged me to push myself and Squiggles this season. I am so thankful for all their support,” she said.

When Michelle first started barrel racing there was not a lot of support in place for competitors.

Michelle says the sport of barrel racing has evolved a long way and there are now more support systems in place for riders.

Through her work teaching clinics Michelle is passing her knowledge of the sport on to younger riders, with one such clinic being held in April this year with her friend Adele Edwards.

The clinic was run in Cooma to increase exposure for barrel racing in the area and utilise the excellent facility the town has, with Michelle saying the surface at Cooma is one of the best she has ridden on.

Michelle has also expanded her work to include breeding horses.

It was the love of the calm temperament of the Quarter Horse, and her interest in breeding true all round competitors, that led Michelle down this track.

Michelle’s current horse, Squiggles, is a

product of her breeding system and she believes he is the best horse she has ever bred.

Michelle is an experienced educator and aside from teaching clinics, competing and breeding, she teaches Horse Industry at TAFE. She has spread her knowledge of horses through her own column in HorseWyse Magazine and is the co-producer of the DVD ‘Please… Can I have a Pony?’.

Michelle constantly attends clinics and workshops herself to extend her knowledge and has been a presenter at Equitana since 2012, where she is excited at the opportunity to again share her knowledge in 2016.

Michelle loves what she does and is grateful to everyone who has helped her along the way.

“I would really like to thank my family for enabling me to do everything I do. My Mum and Dad and Warren and Spencer are the reason I get to live the dream and I couldn’t do it without them. I would also really like to thank my sponsors; Mitavite, Shoshoni Equine and Horse and Hound for helping me get down the road. And to every person who has every given me encouragement, help, been to a clinic or had a lesson or just been interested in what I do, it really makes me realise how lucky I am that people are interested in my sport and my well-being,” she said.

Michelle is constantly working on improving the facilities at Greenhills and providing clinics and lessons. She welcomes any enquiries from people who are interested in her breeding program or learning about horsemanship.

FARM

Regular dog worming to prevent sheep measles A recent survey by Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) and Charles Sturt University has shown that sheep producers on average do not worm their farm dogs with anywhere near the required regularity to break the lifecycle of tapeworms (Taenia ovis) and prevent costly sheep measles.

The survey showed that on average we worm farm dogs around twice per year. The hard reality is that we need to be treating all dogs on the property with a tape wormer containing Praziquantel once a month, as the parasite lifecycle is 35 days.

The old recommendation for controlling hydatids of worming every six weeks is probably also too long for effective sheep measles control. There are three dog tapeworms which have a life cycle that includes sheep: hydatids, sheep measles and bladder worm.

Economically, the most important is sheep measles which affects the majority of properties in all sheep regions in Australia.

It is estimated to cost the sheep industry millions of dollars every year.

The losses to the industry occur in a number of ways at processing

- most lesions occur in the sheepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart and diaphragm and are condemned.

If lesions are found in the carcass they are trimmed and if there are more than five lesions, then the whole carcass is condemned. No matter where the lesions are found, all affected carcasses are diverted to a less valuable frozen product.

In dogs the sheep measles tapeworm itself is quite large and can measure up to two metres long, it can start to produce eggs within 32-35 days and these eggs can contaminate a large area thought to be several kilometres.

If you do have a sheep measles problem than you may want to talk to your neighbours about tapeworm control as well.

Good on-farm biosecurity ensures all dogs entering a property with hunters, contractors, shearers, and so on, have been wormed with praziquantel in the last month, or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t access pasture â&#x20AC;&#x201C; i.e. they are kept tethered.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to take a long-term view to controlling sheep measles â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the tapeworm eggs can survive for up to 300 days on pasture and once a sheep is infected, the cysts

are there for life.

The life cycle needs to be controlled by taking three steps: 1. Treating all dogs every month with a wormer containing praziquantel; every three months substitute a praziquantal only treatment for an all-wormer containing praziquantel to control other intestinal worms as well as tapeworms 2. Remove sheep meat and offal from the diet of dogs by feeding commercial dog food, tinned or kibble and preventing scavenging 3. All dogs coming onto the farm should have been wormed in the last 30 days; if they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been wormed in this time, worm them when they arrive on the farm. Wild dog and fox control is recommended practice where they occur and may have some impact on sheep measles.

By doing this you will control not just sheep measles, but hydatids and bladder worm as well. â&#x20AC;˘ Dr Patrick Kluver is the regional officer for Victoria for the Livestock Biosecurity Network.

Agricultural markets take a hit

@V\ JHU THRL H KPMMLYLUJL [V [OLPY SP]LZ HUK `V\YZ ^OLU T\SLZPUN ^P[O WHPU YLSPLM

Australian agricultural commodity prices have taken a hit since February, according to the April Rural Commodities Wrap from National Australia Bank (NAB) Agribusiness.

The appreciating Australian dollar (up over five cents since January against the US dollar) put further pressure on local prices in an already subdued global environment.

Despite the challenging international conditions, NAB Agribusiness forecasts still point to Australian agricultural prices trending higher in AUD terms this financial year.

Key points: â&#x20AC;˘ Current Australian dollar (AUD) forecasts have been adjusted up at 0.74USD at the end of Q2 (was 0.71), 0.71USD at end Q3 (was 0.69) and 0.69USD at year end (was 0.67).

â&#x20AC;˘ The NAB Rural Commodities Index fell 1.2 per cent in March in AUD terms but was up 3.4 per cent in USD terms. â&#x20AC;˘ In March, prices for major commodities in the Index fell between 1 and 6.3 per cent, with the exception of sugar which increased 10.5 per cent. â&#x20AC;˘ The Reserve Bank is expected to hold interest rates at 2 per cent during 2016.

NABâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rural Commodities Index includes 28 commodities (wheat, barley, sorghum, rice, oats, canola, chick peas, field peas, lupins, wool, cotton, sugar, wine grapes, beef, lamb, pork, poultry, dairy, apples, bananas, oranges, mangoes, strawberries, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, potatoes and tomatoes).

The index is weighted annually according to the gross value of production of each industry in Australia.

FARM

Sparta Angus Stud has new owners Over 50 years after he established the popular Sparta Angus Stud, Keith Murdoch is retiring and passing the stud herd to local cattle men Lionel and Stephen Platts, SpartaJincumbilly, Snowy River Way, ANDO, NSW. The Sparta Stud was established in 1965 and over the years about 260 stud females have been purchased from leading studs including in 1982 the purchase of the entire Ballanee Stud, Ballan, Vic. From the beginning the stud avoided the small Scottish Angus which were the fashion at the time and during the last 30 years the North American genetics have been avoided. American blood was tried but they lacked the constitution required for our conditions and we had serious doubts as to their purity.

In the early years the stud did show five bulls resulting in two Sydney Supreme Champions and two Suzuki Angus Classic Reserve Champions.

However Sparta was more involved in an incredible run of topping commercial markets and feedlot trials.

The Sparta on-farm bull sales were very successful and in 1989 Sparta set an Australasian on-farm record average of $5, 505. The success of the stud has built up a wonderful loyal cliental that has made the annual sale unnecessary.

There is a lot of trust with 65% of bulls sold sight unseen.

Mr Murdoch said our clients over recent years have said “What are we going to do when you retire?” For the sake of our loyal clients and the Angus breed Kathy and I have decided to place the Sparta Stud in the right hands so it will carry on for many years to come and importantly with the same integrity.

It was traditional Angus characteristics of the Sparta stud that were attractive to the Platts brothers when they commenced their own herd in 1982. Expanding now to have a commercial herd of 326 cows and 100 yearling heifers, of pure Sparta blood, grazing alongside 5000 self-replacing merino ewes.

“We have had a long, close association with Keith and his cattle. They have a great doability and can handle the southern Monaro conditions in conjunction with our sheep.’

Stephen Platts said. “When Keith approached us we thought it would be a good fit with our commercial operation.”

The Platts brothers were impressed by the temperament, the soft coats, broad muzzles, good structure and sound feet of the stud.

They believe that the temperament of the

the Monaro Weaner Calf sales.

Lionel also pointed out the fertility of their herd is very high, with any cow not conceiving culled, and that they have little trouble calving and the females had a high milking ability. Both brothers were at pains to point out that they will be maintaining the status quo when it comes to the genetic direction of the Sparta Stud. “We will be continuing Keith’s breeding objectives and with his assistance ensure they are met.”

Stephen said. Lionel added “We don’t see any reason to change as they have been preforming for us for the past 33 years.”

They will begin to increase the promotion of the stud through social media, otherwise were happy to build on the strengths established by Keith 50 years ago.

“Keith believed that his cattle had to look after themselves on pasture and we will be keeping it that way.”

Rural serenity, yet convenient to town Heather Anoleck Dip FMBM

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

Autumn is here!

Here we are now into the next season, which means the year is slowly passing us by once more. Summer is officially over, and winter looms closer.

So far this year, interest rates have remained stable, and while some Lenders increased their variable rates at the end of last year, there are some very low fixed rates available.

There has been some reduction of fixed rates, and now could be the time to consider locking your loan in to take advantage. Fixed loans won’t suit everyone’s circumstance, but I can help you determine if it is the best course for you.

Whether you want to review an existing loan, or looking at taking out a new loan, it can pay to look at the different options, and compare. I have access to the current rates & offers with many Lenders.

With flexible appointment times, and with access to many different Lenders, I can take the hard work & stress out of the process for you.

With a range of referral partners in place, I am also happy to be your first contact for other financial areas – i.e. business finance, or financial planning.

Whatever your financial needs, I can point you in the right direction.

Please phone me for a free consultation now, on mobile 0431 351 873

The homestead complex is set in the picturesque Happy boasting some magnificent mountain views and a desirable northerly aspect. The property grounds are well grassed, almost always being green & is known for its highly fertile soils.

There are four original dwellings within the homestead complex totalling a huge 14 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, and 4 kitchens – historically sleeping 35 visitors!

Wednesday April 27, 2016

April 2016. While this level of growth is down from previous years, it is still quite robust,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it is not just property prices that continue to rise, with the latest data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showing 56,562 home loans were approved over the course of February 2016 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; up 1.5% from the month prior. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In total, more than $32 billion in home loans were approved over the month of February, which only reinforces the idea that the property market â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for the most part - remains alive and well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For all of these reasons, it is no surprise to see so many Australians considering property to be a safe investment.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Flavell said data from the Money Survey showed financial turmoil both here and abroad had served to make Australians more financially cautious, with 55.1% of respondents stating the economic problems had encouraged them to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;save moreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Australians are, on the whole, incredibly savvy when it comes to their finances. The vast majority want to make sure they are financially secure in the event that unforeseen circumstances arise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a result, many are increasing their level of savings and/or looking for secure areas to invest their savings,â&#x20AC;? he said.

One in every three Australians believe property prices will rise One third of Australians believe property prices will continue to rise throughout 2016, new data has revealed.

According to Mortgage Choiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2016 Money Survey, 32.5% of Australians said house prices would increase over the coming 12 months, while a further 25.3% thought prices would stabilise over the next year.

Of the 1,030 Australians surveyed, 25.1% of respondents said prices would likely fall across Australia, while the remainder were â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;unsureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; what would happen with dwelling values.

Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised to see Australians were largely divided on the future of the property market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How optimistic people are about the future of property prices really depends on where they live,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the moment, the Australian property market is telling two different stories. On the east coast of the country, property prices continue to rise â&#x20AC;&#x201C; albeit at a slower pace than previous years. According to data from CoreLogic, dwelling values have climbed across all of the eastern capital cities over the last 12 months.â&#x20AC;?

Over the 12 months to April 2016, property prices are up 7.4% in Sydney, 9.8% in Melbourne, 4.5% in Brisbane and 3.2% in Adelaide.

Meanwhile, property prices across the western capital cities have fallen over the last year. In Perth, dwelling values are down 2.0% over the 12 months to April, while Darwin has recorded a 1.8% drop in property values over the same time frame.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property market isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a single market.

It is made up of many different markets, some of which are thriving and some are not,â&#x20AC;? Mr Flavell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reality is, the property market is cyclical in nature. In other words, property prices will rise and fall over time. So, while dwelling values have fallen in Perth over the last 12 months, that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean to see we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see an improvement in this market over the short to medium term.â&#x20AC;?

Across the country, West Australians were the least optimistic about the future of property prices in their state, with 55.4% of respondents stating that they expect dwelling values to fall over the coming 12 months.

At the other end of the spectrum, Queenslanders were the most optimistic about the future of property prices in their own state, with 46.8% stating that prices would continue to increase.

The majority of Victorians were also optimistic about prices in their state, with 43.0% indicating that prices would continue to rise over the coming year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While it is clear property prices will rise and fall in certain markets over the coming 12 months, one thing is clear: the Australian property market as a whole remains relatively robust,â&#x20AC;? Mr Flavell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Home loan demand continues to outpace market expectations, with recent data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showing more than $32.8 billion in home loans were approved over the month of February. This highlights the ongoing strength and resilience of the Australian property market.â&#x20AC;?

ENDLESS POSSIBILITIESâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Majority of Australians see property as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;safe betâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Almost two thirds of Australians believe property is one of the safest investment options.

According to Mortgage Choiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2016 Money Survey, 63.7% of Australians said financial turmoil has made investing in property seem like a safe bet.

When asked whether or not ongoing global economic turmoil had made investing in property safer than other investments, just 36.3% of the 1,030 Australians surveyed said no. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the respondents were specifically asked what they would invest their money in, 38.8% said property â&#x20AC;&#x201C; higher than 35.3% who would put their money in a high interest savings account,â&#x20AC;? Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This data clearly suggests that many Australians see property as a safe bet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They want to invest their money in something that will not only hold its value over time, but potentially deliver a strong return â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and they believe property will deliver on those needs.â&#x20AC;?

While recent data from CoreLogic shows property price growth has started to moderate across the capital cities over the past few months, Mr Flavell said the property market remains relatively robust. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Across the combined capital cities, property prices have risen 6.4% over the 12 months to

Burra Road Bridge 15 tonne load limit restriction Effective from Wednesday April 27, a 15 tonne load limit will be placed on the Burra Bridge on the Burra Road.

Cooma-Monaro Shire Council has received advice from a structural engineer, that the 15 tonne limit must remain until defects in the deck are addressed.

Planning for upgrading of the deck is currently underway. This is required for safety considerations to the public and transport operators utilising the bridge. To this end, vehicles over 15

Council acknowledges the inconvenience this may cause and apologises to residents and the travelling public in implementing these necessary safety considerations.

Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father Leon was a well-known mechanic here in Cooma, and so were his uncles Roy and Colin, and Paul would often muck around with them while they were working on cars.

A family-run business, they provide great personal service and one on one communication. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no going through a receptionist, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s literally just you and me,â&#x20AC;? says Paul.

Starting his own business is something that Paul has thought about doing for many years, but never really had the confidence to go through with it. But having taken on many courses over the past few years, and with his

Tigers defeat Goulburn Workers Staggs 4-2 at Nijong Oval Round four saw the Tigers take on the Goulbourn Workers Staggs at Nijong Oval.

The Tigers were aiming to keep their winning start to the season going with a strong victory over the last place Staggs.

Cooma welcomed Zac Schoon into the side for his first game of the season and with things going in his favour he was in the run-on side.

Cooma were hoping to start and finish strong, however once again an early lapse in concentration and a bad pass in the defensive line saw the Staggs with the ball right in front and they were up 1-0.

Once again this woke the Tigers up and they were on the offensive. After some strong ball movement and some good attacking chances the ball fell nicely for Laurence Redmond who struck the ball well and levelled the score to 1 all.

The Tigers continued to dominate and control the ball and soon Laurence had his second and Cooma had the lead.

Coomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dominance continued and with only his second touch of the game, Coomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hatrick hero from the last two games, Cam Mackintosh made it 3-1.

Cooma wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finished and Laurence stepped up, and with an almost textbook overhead bicycle kick hit the crossbar narrowly missing his hatrick.

Cooma continued to push the Staggs defence and with space opening up in the middle of the field Oscar Schoon took aim with an outside of the foot curling right foot shot that quickly found the back of the net and the Tigers were up 4-1. The score remained this as the half time whistle was blown.

The second half started and the Staggs showed that they were still prepared to fight despite the score line.

Despite the pressure that the Tigers were placing on the Staggs defensive line and the numerous shots taken Cooma couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to get the ball in the back of the net.

Once again poor defensive decisions saw the Tigers opening the chance for the Staggs and they took the opportunity to get one back and reduce the deficit to 2.

The Staggs fought to the end and showed their hunger for a winner continuing to press and challenge for every ball. The Tigers held on and continued the winning start to the season. Next week the Tigers are away playing Lanyon United.

Red Devils hold Royals to 14-all draw

Cooma Red Devils surprised the fancied Royals outfit at Rotary Oval last Saturday, holding them to a 14-all draw.

Royals were first to score under the posts.

After some determined work close to their tryline, a great pass from Ryan Morgan saw Jakob Stewart flash down the sideline to score.

Zinger added the extras with a conversion.

The passage set the pattern for the remainder of the game with both sides scoring converted tries to record the draw.

Cooma meets the undefeated Hall at Rotary Oval this Saturday.

Mount Gladstone hill climb on again next Sunday Drivers and their cars will once again be tested to the limit in the eleventh (11th) running of the Mount Gladstone Hill Climb next Sunday 1 May. The Hill Climb caters for cars ranging from Type 1 unmodified 2WD and AWD production vehicles up to highly modified Type 4 production based 2WD vehicles known as “Sports Sedans”.

Entries are open up to 5 PM on Saturday 30th November.

The organisers are hoping for further local entrants and especially additional junior (under 18 entries).

This is ‘grass roots’ motor sport at its best, racing the clock up a unique 1 km long “power’ hill – an opportunity that is not to be missed.

As previously, the event will be conducted under the rules and regulations of the Confederation of Australian Motor Sports (CAMS).

Competitors need to be financial members of Cooma Car Club (CMHAC) or other invited clubs affiliated with CAMS, and must hold a CAMS Level 2 Speed Event Licence. Nevertheless, a one day licence can be arranged on the day. Vehicle Scrutiny will be held at the CMHAC Clubhouse, Bolaro St Cooma before the event starts

at 9:30 am.

TIMES, ACCESS AND LOCATION FOR SPECTATORS The hill climb is a great day out for spectators including families and will run from 9:30 AM to the presentation at 3:15 PM. There is no charge for spectators who can arrive at any time as a courtesy shuttle bus will run all day taking spectators from the bottom to the top and back again after each run.

Food and (non-alcoholic) drink will be available.

The venue is Mount Gladstone Road, off the Snowy Mountains Highway west of Cooma.

PROGRAM FOR THE DAY • Scrutineering will be at the CMHAC Club House, Bolaro Street, Cooma on Sunday morning from 7 to 9 AM. • Driver’s briefing will be held at the pit area at the top of the hill at 9 AM. • The event will start at 9:30 AM and finish by 4 PM. More details about these events including regulations and entry forms can be found on the Cooma Car Club website www. coomacarclub.com.au/, see also Cooma Car Club’s Facebook Page.

Fun in the sun at Bombala’s Anzac Family Sports Day

The traditional Anzac Family Sports Day followed Bombala’s local commemorations on Monday, April 25, many went straight from the cenotaph to the Bombala Exhibition Ground for a bite to eat and some active fun.

It was time to dust off the pushbike, air out those old runners, and persuade a few mates to get in on the act as team members!

The Family Sports Day was high spirited outdoor entertainment for all ages, with many kicking off the cheerful afternoon with a tasty barbecue lunch and kiosk refreshments.

The kids were keen to get stuck straight into the action, however, with the many foot and bike races of the day attracting a big line-up of entrants keen to have a go.

If anything the novelty events proved just as popular, with everyone from the littlies to the adults keen to share a laugh in the hilarious three-legged dash, the sack races and the egg-

and-spoon.

There was plenty of prizes to share throughout the events, and even the very young joined in the fun treasure hunts that took place during the afternoon. Better still, it was just $2 entry per child to enjoy all of the basic events for the entire day!

When it comes to the big highlights of the sports day we have of course the famed Bukalong Mile, where teams of three cyclists took on the oval in a relay-style race for glory and impressive cash prizes.

A handicap system was in place to ensure all teams got a fair shot at the title, and the big race was followed avidly by the crowd.

There was also the obstacle course to tackle, with the Changi Challenge and Gallipoli Gallop seeing individuals and teams of six taking on everything from a slippery slope,

though to balance beams, a mattress mountain and tyre dashes.

Once again a variety of ages were encouraged to get in and have a go, whether they prefer to compete alone or as part of a team.

Meanwhile there was also be a bike wheelstand competition, a massive wood raffle benefiting the showground, and an always popular egg toss, so we had a great afternoon on our hands!

Want to be a part of it next time? Then grab your bike, your helmet and your running shoes, and make your way to the Bombala Exhibition Ground following the commemoration to enjoy all the fun and games of the Anzac Family Sports Day.

Junior Bombala Heelers putting in a great effort this season

U8 Freddy Merritt playing a great game.

Delcan Brown Milo Player of the Match U7.

This Saturday the under 7’s braved a cool start up against Narooma, but that didn’t stop them playing a great game of footy! A few of our players copped some big and hard tackles but got up, wiped their tears and kept on going with smiles on their faces!

These boys are improving week to week and it shows with great running and tackles, and working together as a team!

A big congratulations to Declan Brown who is this week’s Milo Man Of The Match! Keep up the good work Declan!!

The U8s started the game off against Narooma very strong with some great defence with Ari Sten leading the tackle count all game. Josh Tellis also very strong in defence making try saving tackles all game and slicing the opposition up earning himself two try’s for the day. The week also saw Zara Brotherton and Tanner Hurley controlling the ball play all game. Jake Brown and Freddy Merritt made some strong runs and tackles all game. Max Power a new player had a strong game all game with strong runs and was always there for defence to help which earnt him Milo Player of the Match. Well done kids.

The under 9s hosted a very strong Narooma team that are very well drilled and are good in defense and attack. Narooma won the game however their coached commented on how well the Bombala team played. So far Bombala defensively are quite good. Everyone is making the effort to move forward to meet the attack, two and three every tackle. There needs to be more work on the tackle technique but that will come over time but there is plenty of effort. Tom Marsden was the stand out in defense, not that he made more tackles than everyone else but that he is tackling correctly and is great to watch. Many other players are starting to make decisions on which way to take the play and all ready to take a run.

In short the whole team played really well. Fingers crossed for next week to see how things go when they have an away game in Batemans Bay. Well done under 9s.

We would like to thank Foodworks and Southern Highland Contracting for sponsoring Milo Player each week.

The U12s team keep improving as the weeks go by. Strong runs in the forwards, and new players to the team this year are really starting to find their feet.

Best and Fairest points. 3 – Jaidyn Clear, 2- Max

smith & 1 – Stephanie Richardson The junior High Heelers faced an experienced Narooma team for their third hit out of their inaugural season. Coming off a close loss to Merimbula – Pambula two weeks previous, the young Bombala girls were looking to further improve upon the skills and plays they have been working on at training.

The speed and fitness of the Narooma girls set the tone for the match and the Bombala girls were playing catch up footy from the opening minutes.

Our girls were tenacious in defense, scrambling and chasing when needed. Their attack is improving every week as is their team work although this was not reflected in the score. This weeks ‘ girl of the game’ was awarded to Bree Brownlie for her impressive tagging efforts in repeat sets of six and the leadership she demonstrates on the field. The coaches award went to Crystal Goodchild who, in her very first game ever, made some impressive tags and chased all game.

We look forward to hitting the training paddock hard over the next couple of weeks.

On Saturday Bombala played against Narooma at home. All the under 14’s played really well with Bryson Phillips Jones scorning the first points of the game. The team continued to attack well with Blake Baldwin and Baidon Sten putting the team in good field position. The defence was strong in patches in both halves with Baidon Sten , Blake Baldwin, Chance Westaway , Reagen Hurley putting their bodies on the line .

The 3 points went to Blake Baldwin 2 points went to Baidon Sten 1 points went to Lane Stevenson Man of the match went to Bryson Phillips Jones.

Great effort by all see you guys next week Thank you to all the sponsors that have come on board this year Merimbula Podiatrist, Linga Longa, Franks Butchery, Bruce’s Earthmoving, Glenavon Pastoral Co., JD Interstate Transport, Foodworks, Bendoc Poll Herefords, Bombala Cycles & Chainsaws, T & J Murphy’s Transport, Envy Industries , Talbot Transport, G& R Brownlie Shearing, IGA Bombala, Guthrie Construction, D & L High Country Earthworks, Damton Farming, MCH Welding, Southern Highland Contracting, Jamieson Bros, Bombala RSL Club, Hands on Bitz & Pizza, Platypus Crush Repairs, R’N’R Massage Clinic, Bombala Bakery, Raw Strength, Palalang Meats.

Putting the Monaro into the Monaro The iconic Holden Monaro was first produced in 1968 and is a well renowned car within Australia.

There was much deliberation over what to call the car, until a design engineer for GMA named Noel Bedford was travelling through Cooma on holiday.

He was parked outside the Monaro County Council where he saw Monaro written in western writing.

He then met with the executives from GM and a half hour meeting brought the debate to an end, with the name was settled on with a slight variation.

The car Monaro is pronounced the way it is to rhyme with Camaro and tie in with the American connection.

The car was a big hit and became prominent on the race track with the V8 having won Bathurst several times.

While not a Holden man, local councillor and car enthusiast Rogan Corbett speaks very highly of the Monaro.

“It had a fearsome reputation on the race track and it’s a great looking car,” he said.

He also acknowledged and commended the connection between the car and the region it is named after.

“It’s fantastic, it’s a terrific connection.

Motorists are a big part of our tourism. We have some of the best roads and some of the best scenery in the country.

“It’s a fitting name for a great car,” he said.

The Holden Monaro was inducted to the Cooma Hall of Fame during the Back to

Bushpigs back in the winner’s circle

A stunning day at John Connor’s Oval on Saturday saw the Jindabyne Bushpigs return to the winner’s list with a 50-7 victory over Boorowa.

Prior to the game Life members Ian Graham, Jim Croker and Steve Yeowell led a brief ANZAC Day Commemoration with both teams sharing the Last Post and a moment’s silence.

After a tough start to the season, the Bushpigs fielded a full team against the always tough Boorowa at home. With many new players this season, including a number of players that have come through the junior Piglets ranks and a couple of returning veterans, it was the first game where the Bushpigs filled a bench

in support of the new look team.

The home side began well, and the first half saw six tries piled on from a range of players, including a double from Jarrod “Pippy” Cummins (sponsored

by Woolworths), as well as tries to returning old boy Jake Roarty (CandleLight Lodge), Rookie Patty Small (High Country Firewood), Captain Steve Romppanen (Snowy Mountains Crash), and half back Connor Duncombe (Brumby Bar and Bistro). Rob Morris (Rhythm Snowsports) converted three of the tries, sending the Bushpigs into the break with a handy 36 – 0 lead.

Boorowa came out strongly in the second half, holding the Bushpigs in their own half for a significant portion of the game, and striking back with a well earned try, bringing the score to 36-7.

After withstanding the pressure from Boorowa, the Bushpigs added two late tries from Luke Tiene-Costello (CandleLight Lodge) and Liam Pepper (Rob

Kneller Youth Foundation), both converted

by Rob Morris ( R h y t h m Snowsports), to bring the final score to a convincing 50-7 victory.

Coach Matt Caldwell said after the match he was pleased with the way the team was beginning to gel, and was certain that this win was the beginning of the team’s comeback.

C o a c h ’s points went to Connor Duncombe (The Brumby Bar and Bistro), Ian “Everest” Vagg (Snow FM), and Liam Pepper (Rob Kneller Youth Foundation), and Players’ Player was awarded to the double try scorer Jarrod “Pippy” Cummins (Woolworths).

Next week sees the boys hit the road to take on Yass.

Bushpigs victorious over Boorowa, Final Score 50-7 Half time Jindabyne Bushpigs 36 - Boorowa 0.

Cooma Golf Club News Cooma Judo represented at State Last Wednesday’s Stableford John Peters win A Grade with 39 points, whilst Campbell Childs won B Grade with 38 points and Doug Parker with 37 points won C Grade.

Balls were won by Simon Allen, Frank McKnight, Roy Kerr, Wayne Flynn, Richard Hill, Mark Rainsford and Warren Bray.

Nearest the pins went to Doug Parker on the ninth and to Warren Bray on seventeen.

Saturday saw the NSW Golf 4BBB Qualifying tournament (in the versus par format) with Steve Wheately and Tim Bedingfeld winners with an excellent plus 10 pipping David Goggin and David Robinson by a shot.

These teams go through to the next round in the ACT later on the year.

Balls were won by Richard and Matthew Hanna, George Froeschl and Robert Smith (who couldn’t quite keep the momentum going after a hot front nine), Mark Rainsford and Sean Smith and Sam Patricks and Nick Massari.

Nearest the pin on 9 went to Robert

O’Farrell while Adam Robinson was nearest the pin for two on 18.

These two cleaned up the long drives as well with Adam winning A Grade and Robert winning A Grade.

No C Graders managed to hit the 10th fairway, Sunday saw a Medley Stableford with Jim Darley running out the winner with 40 points from Garry Batten on 38.

Balls were won Andrew Devereux, Kim Howard, Campbell Childs, Bob Ashcroft, Ray Bilbow, Richard Hanna and Peter Devereux.

The Cooma Ladies Open takes pride of place next weekend with the Ladies Open Canadian Foursomes Championship on Saturday and the Ladies Open Stroke Championship on Sunday.

There will be the normal Wednesday Stableford for men but whilst there will be men’s competitions run on Saturday and Sunday times are restricted so make sure you check rather than just rocking out.

Enjoying glorious autumn weather at Cooma Golf Club last Saturday were Neil Venables and John Gargett.

The usual three players from Cooma entered the NSW State Judo Titles 2016 on the weekend.

India Dyball, Shelley Kleven and Jack Kleven all competed at the Hall of Legends at Homebush Olympic Village. India competed in the -36kg Junior Girls, Shelley -36kg Senior Girls and Jack -34kg in the Junior boys.

India Dybal again fought well and was undefeated until the last fight which she was well in control of unfortunately a mistake on the ground saw her caught in a tough hold down giving her the silver medal. Indi’s string of medal wins in the last six months certainly puts her in strong contention for a medal at the Nationals in June.

Shelley Kleven at age 12 fighting in the under 15’s in a small field of older players managed to take out the silver medal with one loss and one win.

Jack Kleven just lost his first fight in a close bout to the eventual gold medal winner.

Unfortunately with a mix up in his draw, his next fight was two hours later so loss off focus saw him lose his second bout and also knocked him out of his division.

Indi and Jack will hopefully be selected to represent NSW at the Nationals in Geelong on the
