Lucky escapes in car crashes across Monaro

Several car crashes across the region have left motorists shaken, but not seriously injured “It was just a miracle no one was hurt,” said the publican of the Imperial Hotel in Bombala following a car ploughing straight into the entrance of the pub on Saturday, June 25. According to Police, a 37year old woman was travelling north on Maybe Street when she approached the roundabout and accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the brake as she went to giveaway. The Toyota Yaris shot across the road, through a garden bed and a rail, into the verandah posts and steps of the Imperial, dislodging part of the verandah. Emergency services were quickly in attendance, with the Vietnamese driver being taken to hospital, but thankfully suffering no serious injury. She had only been living in Bombala a short time. She has been charged

with negligent driving. The owner of the Imperial, Virginia Webster said that her husband and publican, Steve had been on the front steps just moments before the accident. “He had just served a drink at the bar and gone out to check the pavement for any rubbish from the night before,” Virginia explained. “He’d only just come back in when there was this huge noise and impact at the door.” Both Steve and the patron at the bar were uninjured, but Virginia said her husband was left “completely shocked and trembling”, and the patron too was shaken. “It just could have been so much worse; not only could the driver and Steve both have been seriously injured or killed, there could have been people walking on the footpath as well. We are all just so very lucky,” Virginia said. The Imperial Hotel owners were also quick to thank the local authorities who retrieved the driver from the car and made the scene safe. Parts of both Forbes Street and Maybe Street were closed while the 145 year old building was assessed, with the verandah being propped up with supports before the car could be removed. One lane of Forbes Street adjacent to the damaged verandah remained closed into the next day while further assessment was made, and support props are still in place to ensure no further collapse can occur. The Imperial Hotel is currently closed while Virginia and Steve are both in Sydney for an Australian Hotels Association meeting, but at the time

of print they were unsure when they could resume trade. “We are just taking a couple of deep breaths now while we are away, and we’ll get back on track when we return,” Virginia said. “There’s some work we have to do with council when we get back, but we’ll be up and running as soon as we can.” Other incidents Last Friday morning, a 4WD ploughed into a power pole outside Rhythm Sports in Sharp Street, Cooma, The collision caused power outages to part of the town and snapped the power pole, but there were no reported injuries. The previous Saturday, a Cooma man driving to Jerangle had an out-of-control Landcruiser land on top of his Hilux, partially crushing the roof. He was taken to Canberra hospital with minor chest injuries. His passengers were not injured, but his vehicle was extensively damaged. In other police news, an 84-year-old man has been charged with dangerous overtaking after a dash camera video was supplied to police.The video depicts a white station wagon narrowly missing a B-double truck as it overtakes another vehicle on the Monaro Highway at Bunyan, last Friday morning. Police from Monaro Highway Patrol viewed the video and made a number of inquiries before speaking with an

Counterfeit $50 notes Police have warned the community in the Cooma and Snowy Mountains areas to be careful when accepting cash after several counterfeit notes have been detected. Last Thursday a business in Perisher Valley received four $50 that were found to be counterfeit. In a separate incident on Wednesday June 22 a retailer in Sharp Street in Cooma received nine counterfeit notes and reported the matter to local police. Officers from Monaro Local Area Command seized the notes which will undergo a forensic analysis. Investigators have described a man they believe may be able to assist with inquiries into the incident at Cooma. He is described as being of Pacific Islander appearance and aged between 30 and 40 years old. He is of average height and build, with short dark hair and brown eyes. At the time of the incident the man was wearing dark sports style clothing. Anyone with information about counterfeit currency is urged to contact police immediately. Police are urging retailers to take extra care when accepting payment with $50 notes and to ensure that they have familiarised themselves with all the security features of Australian currency.

Southern Snowy Mountains Aboriginal Community to jointly manage Kosciuszko National Park The Southern Snowy Mountains Aboriginal Community now has stronger links with the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) in the management of Kosciuszko National Park and reserves in the Southern Ranges Region under a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). In signing the MOU last week Tom Bagnat, Director Mountains and Metro branch with NPWS, said the agreement formally acknowledges both parties commitment to working together to care for the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aboriginal places and spiritual and cultural values. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This MOU provides Original Owners of MonaroNgarigo decent with an opportunity to reconnect to country and a clearly defined role in identifying and conserving Aboriginal cultural heritage in the southern section of the park,â&#x20AC;? Mr Bagnat said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The MOU covers the area south of Tolbar Road near Lake Eucumbene to the Victorian border, Country that

includes important cultural sites and places of cultural significance within the landscapes and waterways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This cooperative approach to park management means decisions around the conservation of this cultural heritage will be more holistic and reflective of the Original Ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aspirations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under the agreement an Executive Advisory Committee made up of community members will be established to advise NPWS on other aspects of park management including tourism, fire and pest management operations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken a long time to produce the MOU and I would like to thank all involved. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s through this process that a genuine and respectful partnership has developed,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Bagnat. The agreement was signed at a celebration on June 25 in Jindabyne with members of the Monaro Ngarigo community and NPWS.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;What this MOU represents is much more than an agreement to work collaboratively, it symbolises a shared vision to manage Kosciuszko National Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique values to deliver benefits not only to Country but to people and communities,â&#x20AC;? Mr Bagnat said. This MOU with the Monaro Ngarigo community is similar to an agreement already in place with the Tumut Brungle Gundagai Aboriginal Area Community.

SMRC holds first local representative committee meeting The Snowy Monaro community now has another avenue to have its say on Council matters with the newly established Local Representative Committee (LRC) holding its first meeting in Cooma. Snowy Monaro Regional Council now has three LRCs, each representing the former council areas of Bombala, Cooma Monaro and Snowy River. Administrator Dean Lynch said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The committees are an opportunity for former Councillors and residents to serve their communities by sharing local views to the Council.â&#x20AC;? The first meeting was held in Cooma with all three committees coming together, all

12 members in attendance, the meeting outlined the roles and responsibilities of the committee. The committees will provide input on a range of issues, including Operational Plans and the harmonisation of the former three Councils as they transition operational service delivery as a united entity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a very positive meeting and provided a platform for members to discuss what they would like to achieve. The LRC will be an inclusive committee that will work together in the best interests of the entire community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will represent all residents

and ratepayers across the new Local Government Area and will be consulting on a range of local issues to help bring communities together as we move forward together as the Snowy Monaro.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was extremely pleased with the first meeting and I excited to be working alongside its members to deliver the very best for our Region,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Lynch.

Some of the students already have some great ideas for their community projects. “I want to put on a debutante ball to go with the empowerment of young women theme,” says Hayley Jones. “I am also choosing the empowerment of young women and want to focus on girls around year 5 and year 6 age,” says Tiarne Brown, “I want to put together a day to teach them to all be friends with one another and to have each others backs.” Debbie Thomas is the facilitator of the program at Monaro High and says she is looking forward to seeing what the students come up with.

Monaro in pictures

In a visit to Cooma last week, Member for Monaro John Barilaro met with some of the Arts and Culture Committee to view he photograph book ‘Monaro’. Mr Barilaro was impressed with the publication, which contains 40 pages of stunning photography from around the region. More than 800 copies have been sold so far, with more available from the Cooma Visitors Centre or the Monaro Regional Library. Pictured, Sue Bailey, Craig Mitchell, John Barilaro and Frans de Ruijter.

NSW Budget: Delivering on our promises The NSW Government’s ongoing investment in education, health and roads form a key part of the 20162017 Budget, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro said last week. The 2016-17 Budget has reported a surplus of $3.4 billion in 2015-16. Mr Barilaro said honouring commitments made for the Monaro at last year’s election have featured prominently in this budget. “The 2016-17 Budget sets aside $2.4million of the $17million allocated for the development of the new Queanbeyan Police Station,” said Mr Barilaro. “The new police station will be built on the current site and will be a modern, state-of-the-art facility which will improve service delivery to the local community as well as meeting operation needs into the future.” This budget has set aside funding for educational infrastructure commitments including $1million for the Jindabyne Central School hall upgrade, a new security fence at Queanbeyan East Public School and a $10 million Queanbeyan Distance Education upgrade. “The project will combine the distance education facilities at Queanbeyan Public School and Karabar High School into a new facility on the Queanbeyan High School site,’ Mr Barilaro said. “This will be a Kindergarten to Year 12 Distance Education School for South Eastern NSW catering for around 950 students providing general and specialist educational support to students.” The 2016-17 Budget brings together vital road infrastructure projects in the Monaro with a total spend of over $44million. This includes a $3million investment through Round Two of the Fixing Country Roads program. Four key Monaro roads projects will be funded including $395,000 for upgrades to Rosemeath Road near Bombala; $190,000 for 20 bridge assessments across the Monaro, $160,000 for the Tantawangalo Road near Bombala and over $2million for stage two of the Jerangle Road upgrade. “The NSW Government is investing historic levels of funding to build better infrastructure right across NSW, and it’s great to see local communities in

the Monaro electorate benefitting from programs like Fixing Country Roads,” said Mr Barilaro. “By building better infrastructure on council owned roads and bridges – we are getting product to market quicker – cutting costs right across the supply chain including on supermarket shelves.” Around $5million in grants has been allocated for Snowy Monaro Regional Council and Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council for road maintenance projects. This budget allocates $2.15million for planning for the Charleyong Bridge over the Mongarlowe River near Braidwood. $1.5millon has been set aside for rock fall prevention on Kosciuszko Road near Jindabyne. This Budget lays the foundation for solid investment in health with $1.5million set aside for the Jindabyne Health One. The NSW Government has increased its commitment to the project, pledging a total investment of $2.25million. Other Budget big ticket items include almost $1million for community transport services for the frail and disabled across the Monaro. The Budget also delivers on the NSW Government’s continued commitment to job growth. “This Government has taken NSW from having the lowest jobs growth of any mainland state to a position where we have the lowest unemployment rate in the country, the strongest employment growth and where we are creating almost two-thirds of the nation’s jobs”, said Mr Barilaro. Mr Barilaro said he’s proud to be part of a government that is delivering on our promises, building for the future and places the needs of the community first. “The 2016-17 Budget delivers record investments in key services across the state including a record $21 billion investment in health services, a record $13.3 billion on school education services, and a record $8.1 billion to ensure community safety”, Mr Barilaro said. “This is the budget that delivers the funding needed for projects within the Monaro and is a clear demonstration of the Liberal/Nationals commitment to regional areas.”

TS Orion navy cadet selected for international exchange program – again! Sixteen-year-old Cadet Leading Seaman Ethan Inches of the Snowy Monaro region’s Australian Navy Cadet Unit, TS ORION, has been selected as one of only nine Navy cadets Australia-wide to participate in the 2016 International Cadet Exchange Program. Ethan will leave Australia on July 23 for two weeks in Canada, hosted by the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets’ organisation. The Canadian exchange will be based at the Summer Training Centre HMCS Quadra in British Columbia. It is understood that his itinerary will include sailing off Vancouver Island and exploring the city of Vancouver with 19 other cadets from Japan, Sweden, America, The United Kingdom and Hong Kong. Other activities will include canoeing, hiking and rifle shooting. Cadets will also participate in special activities such as ceremonial parades and attendance

at the Ceremony of the Flags in Victoria BC. Ethan’s selection for the 2016 exchange program follows on TS ORION’s Cadet Leading Seaman (now Petty Officer) Caroline Greene’s participation in the 2015 program to the UK. Ethan, pictured right, is a student at Jindabyne Central School and is the son of Glen and Penny Inches of Jindabyne. On being told of his selection, Ethan said “I had to do a double take, I couldn’t believe that I’d actually been selected!” Ethan is being supported by his family, The Unit Support Committee of TS ORION, the Snowy River RSL Sub-Branch and the Lions’ Club of Jindabyne but also intends some community fund raising. Ethan is hurriedly preparing for the trip, and flies out from Sydney on July 23.

Aged care funding cuts Commonwealth funding cuts will not only undermine the viability of aged care services, but will compromise quality care for older Australians, was the consensus of a recent meeting of aged care providers. Representatives from more than 60 aged care organisations attended a LASA NSW-ACT Forum to discuss the repercussions of Commonwealth funding cuts of $1.2 billion over the next four years to the Aged Care Funding Instrument (ACFI). This is in addition to $472 million in cuts announced in the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO) in December 2015. “These cuts will be devastating to the aged care industry. Already providers are considering which services for residents will be affected, as well as possible reduction in staff numbers,” said Loula Koutrodimos, Acting CEO of LASA NSW-ACT. “The industry strives to provide the highest standards of care, yet this can only continue if funding matches the care needs of older Australians. In recent years the Commonwealth has made a number of funding cuts, but the most recent cuts to ACFI, announced in the May Federal Budget, threaten the viability of a number of services and the sustainability of the industry. “Older Australians are increasingly entering care

at a later age, and with greater care needs. Yet the reaction by the Commonwealth is to cut back the ACFI, which is the mechanism for funding each individual’s care need. “This cut is based on repairing the Budget, without consideration of the impact to resident care needs.” “Across our industry there is anger and frustration about cuts to funding, policy directions which undermine provider viability, and a bi-partisan absence of political will to address the true care challenges of our ageing population,” Ms Koutrodimos said. “The Aged Care Funding Instrument is not broken, and there are other solutions to the cutting of ACFI. The aged care industry is committed and available to working through solutions – with the representatives from those Parties willing to listen and to discuss. “As the meeting of providers reaffirmed, funding in aged care must reflect resident need. It is also clear that the mood of the aged care industry is one of increasing hostility to unjustified funding cuts. “Aged care cannot continue to be a reserve from which billions of dollars in funding is withdrawn to address other Budget concerns, or to fund other ‘priorities’.”

Locals win State award

Community health nurses Jane Redmond, Julie Spring, Wendy Chapman and Liz Dorahy. The Cooma Community Health photo entry for the Essentials of Care Showcase Exhibition took out the award for first in the state. The competition called for images that represent the Essentials of Care Program – ‘transform, inspire, connect and innovate’. The photo was taken by local

photographer Charlotte Cooper and portrays the feelings of isolation, bewilderment and a sense of being lost that a rural client might feel with a newly diagnosed condition. It shows how the community nurse inspires the client to navigate the health system and connect to resources in the community.

Grants writing workshop in Bombala The Snowy Monaro Regional Council will be running a Grants Writing Workshop in Bombala on Tuesday, July 5. The session will focus on the Stronger Communities Fund and also the Community Building Partnership

Program, and those present will be able to workshop ideas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last workshop really benefitted community groups; we noticed a real improvement in applications and a better understanding of the grant process,â&#x20AC;?

Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Karen Cash said. The session will be held at the Bombala Council Chambers from 10am to 12noon with bookings essential through the VIC on 6458 4622. All welcome.

Snowy Monaro Regional Council is currently implementing innovative technology across the region to improve connectivity and telecommunications for staff and ratepayers. We have installed software and devices to allow us to have video conferencing in the Berridale, Bombala and Cooma offices. Currently the Berridale office has been fitted out, with plans for the same to happen in the Cooma and Bombala office within the week. These connections will ultimately allow customers to potentially contact staff in other offices. Our vision is that this technology will make meetings with Council staff more efficient and broaden the services that council can provide to the whole community. This technology will not only service the community, but dismiss travel time between offices for members of staff as they will be able to discuss operational matters and have meetings via connecting to the video link. Our Local Representation Committee members will also have the same benefits. The LRC members will be able to individually connect to the video conferencing by using their iPads, ensuring that our community representatives are accessible at all times. I believe this resourceful software will be highly advantageous and efficient for our council. On Friday 24 June I attended the NAIDOC Exhibition Opening which was a wonderful event and a major success. I had the pleasure of introducing Ngarigo Elders, Auntie Colleen and Auntie Deanna to give their official welcoming to open the celebrations. They announced that this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Songlinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and attendees were invited to share some stories. NAIDOC is very important to our area as it celebrates and recognises all the social, cultural, artistic and educational contributions Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders have made to our society. NAIDOC Week gives us the opportunity to come together to promote greater awareness of and respect for the heritage of our region and country. I would like to remind everyone that our Stronger Communities Region Fund is still open for incorporated non-for profit community groups that may be interested in receiving funding for projects for our community. Please submit your applications by 4.00pm Sunday 10 July 2016 for assessment. Dean Lynch Administrator

Getting a Taste of TAFE

TAFE Illawarra Cooma hosted their annual Taste of TAFE day last week. Students from four local high schools came for some hands-on experiences of what it would be like to enroll in a TAFE course. Jindabyne Central School (JCS), St Patrick’s Parish School, Monaro High School and Snowy Mountains Christian School all sent students to the open day. The students were able to experience a short session in different faculties, including automotive, building and construction, business services and IT, general education, human services, rural studies, tourism and hospitality and welding. From getting to make their own mayonnaise to changing a tyre, the students were able to experience a wide variety of activities. The day provides the students with an opportunity to get a ‘taste’

of what the TAFE has to offer. JCS careers advisor Rayna Green said that the students really enjoyed having a hands-on experience. “The TAFE is a great facility to have in our region,” she says, “I took a group of students to the Taste of TAFE day last year, and subsequently many of them enrolled. The feedback I have gotten from them has been very positive.” “The TAFE campus here in Cooma has it all,” said TVET (TAFE delivered Vocational Education) Coordinator Carolyn Ewart, “We have a great facility and it is wonderful to be supported by the local schools.” Enrolments for Semester 2, 2016 at TAFE Illawarra Cooma are now open.

Bombala Battlers at AWM

A group of Bombala High School students were delighted to present a copy of their research book, ‘The Bombala Battlers’ to the Director of the Australian War Memorial, Dr Brendon Nelson this Monday, June 27. Teri Roberson, Nikki Hepburn and Hannah Ingram visited the War Memorial in Canberra for the presentation, joined by former Principal, Philip Steele, as well as members of the Bombala RSL Sub-Branch, and a number of school staff and parents. The book was presented at an informal meeting in the Orientation Gallery of the First World War exhibits, with Dr Nelson commending the students on their efforts to research the biographical book on the WWI servicemen of the Bombala area. “I am extremely grateful to the students of Bombala High School to receive the Bombala Battlers publication on behalf of the Australian War Memorial, “ Dr Nelson said. “It gives me a feeling of immense pride to see young people making the effort to research and understand what their townsfolk went through and

what they sacrificed for our freedoms. “There are no longer any remaining First World War veterans alive, and with those from the Second World War steadily fading, it is more important now than ever that the next generations of Australians have an understanding of the Australian experience of war. “The students have done a wonderful job in this comprehensive and detailed piece of work. We are honoured to accept the publication into the archives of the National Collection. “They have brought to life the stories of young men who gave their all for us and our young nation so that they will be forever remembered.” ‘The Bombala Battlers’ was compiled over two years by students, Jackie Chapman, Bella Cocker, Nikki Hepburn, Teri Roberson and Hannah Ingram under the guidance of then Bombala High School teacher, Caitlin Morrison. The book details the lives of Bombala’s WWI serviceman whose names are listed on the Bombala cenotaph, and copies of the book are available through the school.

The Bombala High School’s Nikki Hepburn, Teri Roberson and Hannah Ingram presented the Australian War Memorial’s Dr Brendon Nelson with a copy of the school’s research book, ‘The Bombala Battlers’ on Monday.

It was a shoulder to shoulder celebration of Ivo Deubler’s life at Jindabyne’s Banjo Paterson Inn on Saturday June 25 when close on 200 from near and wide, gathered to pay tribute to his memory. Following a summary of Ivo’s life by Ben Clancy, Ivo’s daughter Holly fondly described her dad as a larrikin, honest, brave and generous. Amongst the other speakers, Ted Gregorski from Bernti’s added that Ivo had an eye for the ladies and he related the story of one of Ivo’s encounters where the female first laid her head on his shoulder, winked at him and he thought he was on to a winner – it was Makybe Diva! Austrian born Ivo Deubler was one of the many Europeans, who added colour to the snowfields and emerging ski industry and made his home in the Snowy Mountains. Coming to Australia “to see the world” from his home town, Salzburg he arrived in Melbour ne by plane as a sponsored immigrant in 1961 and soon joined his sister already living in Cooma. He quickly found work as a carpenter for Architon Construction, which was building the Khancoban shopping centre. On an exploratory hitchhiking trip to Perisher and Thredbo where he stayed overnight at Leo’s Lodge (now The Denman), his skills were quickly engaged each weekend to finish the lodge extensions before the 1961 ski season. During the ski season he assisted at times on the volunteer Ski Patrol, and he became a member of the NSW ski team, placing second in the National Slalom on 215 cm skis at Cabramurra. Thus demonstrating his ability on skis, in 1962 Ivo joined the 16 ski instructors in Leonhard Erharter’s Thredbo Ski School. Having bought the garbage truck and contract at the

end of 1961 ski season, Ivo could complete the early morning garbage collection before ski school briefings. Each weekend, for about 27 years he ran a taxi service ferrying people between the ski resorts and Cooma airport, sometimes Canberra. Ivo did not shy away from hard work, and during summers he left a legacy of stonework using local material on many of the lodges in the growing Village and later years at the Ski Tube, Blue Cow and Lake Crackenback Resort. In 1972 Upper Murray white water rafting experiences down to Khancoban became Ivo’s next business adventure which lasted for about three years. However he gave it away because it was too dangerous, consequently he spent more time fishing and pursuing an interest in horse racing Nevertheless, Ivo found time to court Hanna whom he married in 1972 and they looked after the “Golden Eagle” lodge in Thredbo. During the summer of 1978, he built his popular lodge, “Ivo’s Farm” on the Alpine Way. Their daughter, Holly arrived in 1984. Hannah ran the lodge until they sold it in 2014 and moved into Jindabyne township. Rock walls were Ivo’s art . Unfortunately about 10 years ago he damaged his ankle whilst stepping out of his truck. The injury resulted in a debilitating bone disease which eventually became too much for him to bear. He chose his own boulder and ending. The stonewalls created by Ivo are a lasting memorial to him – a legend of the mountains. The Monaro Post wishes to express its condolences to his wife, Hanna and daughter, Holly.

Service One appoints new CEO Local financial and community services provider, Service One, has appointed a new Chief Executive after existing Chief Executive, Peter Carlin, retires from the position after more than 20 years’ service to the organisation. The Service One Board embarked on a national recruitment drive and after careful consideration of all applicants and due processes, appointed Matthew Smith, Service One’s current Chief Financial Officer and Deputy Chief Executive. Service One’s Chair, John Clarke, provides some insight into the appointment. “We received multiple strong applications as part of the recruitment process. After careful deliberation among the Directors, the Board decided Matthew Smith would make a quality Chief Executive to lead the organisation during a significant period of change,” Mr Clarke said. “Service One has been through a significant transformation. Just over 12 months ago

New CEO Matthew Smith with chairman John Clarke. we implemented a strategic alliance with Bendigo and Adelaide Bank. This meant Service One is now a social enterprise and not only assists locals with their banking and finance needs but we’re broadening our offering and looking to solve social and community issues in our region. We’re excited about Service One’s prospects and the Chief Executive will play a pivotal role in driving our community investment program.

We look forward to working closely with Matthew as we progress this important work.” Mr Clarke paid tribute to the significant contribution made by outgoing Chief Executive, Peter Carlin. “There’s no doubt Service One would not have achieved the position it has without the commitment and foresight of Peter. On behalf of the Board, staff and Members I would like to thank Peter for his efforts

over many years and wish him well for the future.” Mr Smith was not surprised the position attracted interest from applicants across the country and is humbled by the appointment.

RFS shed funds

“We’re trying to do something different in the banking and finance space and make a real difference in the communities in which we live and work. When you operate from such an ethical base, it’s no surprise the opportunity to lead such an organisation is attractive. While the Board no doubt had several quality applications, I’m pleased they acknowledge my contribution to the organisation over many years and have faith in my ability to lead the business through this period of transformation. I’m energised by the opportunity and look forward to working closely with the Board and staff over this coming period.” Mr Smith officially takes over as Chief Executive on Monday 4 July 2016.

The Smiths Road Rural Fire Brigade (RFB) is among the local community organisations in Eden-Monaro that will benefit from the Turnbull Government’s $45 million Stronger C o m m u n i t i e s Programme. Member for EdenMonaro Peter Hendy said the Brigade will receive $5,000 under the Programme. “The Stronger C o m m u n i t i e s Programme will provide funding of $300,000 over two years for small capital projects across Eden-Monaro,” Dr Hendy said. “Projects were selected by a community consultation committee that assisted with identifying potential projects for consideration by the Government. “Funds from the Programme will allow the RFB to add a storage room to the exterior rear wall of Smiths Road Community Hall and

Fire Shed; purchase a semi-portable generator to provide the building with lights and communications during power outages, and purchase and install roof-mounted solar panels. “The shed is a Council asset managed and maintained by the Smiths Road community. The improvements will provide a needed storage area for a rideon lawn mower, BBQ, and generator. “The generator will ensure power is available during outages from storm or bushfire events to enable vital equipment to operate, while solar electric panels will lessen the ongoing expense of electrical power usage by the community. “The Stronger C o m m u n i t i e s Programme is a welcome initiative for Eden-Monaro and I am sure it will contribute to an even more vibrant and viable community,” said Dr Hendy.

Cooma Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Probus Club June meeting

A good turn-out of Probeans this month were treated to a lively and interesting talk by Les Strzelecki, head honcho at Cooma NSW Corrective Services Museum, together with a brief look at the services provided by new gaols such as Wellington, by his deputy, Robert Oldenhof. Les stressed that the modern view in NSW calls for correction, not policing, of offenders; the older idea of gaols as prisons has been replaced by the intention to see them as places for correction, and much time is now spent by inmates in learning a trade or producing something useful, such as uniforms. Correction is based on psychology, and aims to help an offender realise that he has to help himself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep them busyâ&#x20AC;? is the new mantra. Try and educate them or help them develop skills such as blacksmithing or tailoring in order to provide them with skills they can use when released. How did they build the Great Wall of China? What about the pyramids? Organise people! Get them working! Give them something to do! Training in skills such as these can lead to a proficiency certificate which can be used to get a job outside on release. There is a financial benefit in this skills training also, as Corrective Services earns a considerable income from products sold outside. Les gave us statistics on gaols in NSW â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 35 gaols, with about 12,500 offenders in custody, and he only half jokingly forecast the day when offenders would be referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;clientsâ&#x20AC;?. In addition there are about 20,000 serving sentences in the community. 11,000 of those in custody are male with an average age in the

mid-30s. Corrective Services employs about 8,000 staff with an annual wages bill of about $1.2 billion. He also assured us that the old concept of gaol, still seen in films from the USA, as places of violence and bullying, while still the same in many prison systems, was being replaced in NSW, so that while they can still be scary places, the use of violent restraint is no longer seen as the best way to run the institution. There is still a line between the offender and the correction officer. Cross that line and you are in trouble. Persuading offenders that the way of life they had been following does not seem to have worked for them, and that they should consider changing their life style is behind the newer approach to dealing with them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it costs $120 per day to house and feed an inmate, and when you have 12,000 of them it becomes an expensive exercise. And this must be seen as a community problem â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is from the community that offenders are drawn! Training in responsibility must start young â&#x20AC;&#x201C; kids need discipline, not just at school; but at home. Intolerance of bad behaviour, drinking heavily, drugtaking, needs to be taught at this level, before the young offender ends up in remand prison, and is marked for life. Les added that some inmates become computer-savvy inside as one of the skills available, but he also told us that modern technology, such as drones, set to overfly gaols and drop contraband, items such as mobile phones and drugs, are not making life any easier. Question time was lively and the discussion enlightening. Many thanks, Les.

FEDERAL ELECTION CANDIDATE PROFILES Frankie Seymour – Animal Justice Party The Animal Justice Party gives a political voice to beings who cannot speak for themselves. Any decision made by any government at any level has the potential to harm animals - and most do. Therefore, the AJP has policies in virtually every area of government: economy, environment, population, employment, education, health, ageing and disability, social justice, international affairs and more. (See http:// animaljusticeparty.org/policies/ for our policies.) The AJP’s overarching vision is ‘a better life for all’. Our formal policies relate only to the impacts of human activities on animals, but we recognise that justice and compassion for animals will not arise in a society that denies justice and compassion to human beings. While our policies are as pervasive as animal cruelty, we do have several immediate priorities: an absolute and permanent end to the export of live farm animals to any country which has weaker animal protection laws than

our own; nationwide abolition of all intensive farming practices, such as battery cages, sow stalls and cattle feedlots; stopping the carnage of the world’s largest wildlife slaughter, conducted here against kangaroos. We want to get companion dogs and cats off death row by shutting down puppy mills, and assisting animal shelters to embrace no-kill policies. We want public education fostering respectful interaction with animals. We want to end discrimination against companion animals in rental, holiday and aged care accommodation. In the electorate of Eden-Monaro, where I have lived for over 30 years, key issues for the AJP are protecting farm animals from climate destabilisation (ie ever-worsening droughts, fires, floods etc); protecting wild animals in national parks, state forests and farmlands from logging, hunting/culling, road deaths, habitat loss and climate destabilisation; and protecting marine animals from the desertification of the

oceans by overfishing, pollution and climate destabilisation. All these issues can be addressed by providing economic incentives, amending legislation and fostering information exchange with local communities. I have been an animal advocate and activist since childhood. I served on the Sea Shepherd during in the early 1980s. I served for many years as president of Animal Liberation ACT. I served on the executive committee of Animals Australia for about ten years. I served on the Animal Welfare Advisory Committee to the ACT government for nearly 18 years. I also worked for

the Australian government in social and environmental policy for over three decades. I know how hard it is to get any kind of change for animals, the environment or social justice. I know it is only possible when the people themselves are united in their yearning for change. I firmly believe that most Australians want to end the cruelty our society routinely inflicts on millions of animals. In a democratic political system, the majority of the people should have the power, and do have the power to change things. All they have to do is use it! That is what I am asking the voters of Eden-Monaro to do in this election - use their democratic power to help animals.

For example there can be a two people get to work in Canberra, but promote year wait for rehab. You can’t wait two years,” he said. job growth within the regional towns as well.

FEDERAL ELECTION CANDIDATE PROFILES Ray Buckley - Independent I stood as an Independent Candidate in 2010 in the seat of Eden Monaro and I am standing again in 2016 to raise awareness on important issues facing the electorate of Eden Monaro as well as Australia and global communities. We are faced with climate change, it is real, the science shows it to be real. At no time in the last 10,000 years have CO2 levels reached anywhere near as high as they are now and it is because of human activity that they are at these climate changing levels. 30%-50% of CO2 levels globally are as a result of human lit fires either in land clearing stock pile burns, hazard reduction burns or poor land management in the

agricultural sector. These practices can be changed, there is alternative management strategies that can be put in place. This is an easy low cost way to reduce the CO2 emissions that are polluting our atmosphere and our oceans, leading to ill health in people and bleaching the coral in the Great Barrier Reef. CO2 goes up into the atmosphere, forms with rain droplets in the clouds and falls as Carbonic Acid. Acidifying the oceans, leading to a major change in all marine life. I believe in being leaders, not followers, so in Eden Monaro let’s start by acting with a change management strategy on hazard reduction burns, less land clearing and better agricultural practices.

With hazard reduction burns, let’s build fence lines 200-300 metres on the fringes of the bush, where it meets towns and run the wild brumbies or cattle within the fence lines to reduce the hazards. The burning strategy is not the answer, it was never peer reviewed, it dries out the forests by burning the mulch layer, leaving the soil with a carbon layer that repels water for up to 10 years, leading to erosion and fire prone forests. Broad scale farming practices need an overview of their land management skills in regards to exposing the soil to wind and rain events by turning the soil rather than direct drilling techniques, while clearing of forested areas needs to STOP.

Don Friend – The Veterans Party Don Friend retired from the NSW Police Force in 2003 on the rank of Senior Constable, after 25 years of service. He has also completed 32 years of service in the Australian Army Active Reserve and been deployed on full time service on a number of Domestic Operations. He has been an Artillery Gun Sergeant for 20 years, and has been a member of the Reserve Response Force from inception to 2010. He lives with his wife, son and daughter in the Federal Division of Eden Monaro. Son of a WW2 Gunner from the 2nd/5th Field Regiment Royal Australian Artillery, he grew up in the south of Sydney. He enlisted into the Army Reserve in 1976 and joined the NSW Police Force in 1978. He started his Police career in General Duties at Bass Hill Police Station, then the NSW Mounted Police at Redfern, Highway Patrol at Parramatta, Richmond and Armidale and completed his service as an instructor at the School of Traffic and Mobile Policing at the NSW Police Academy in Goulburn. His Army Reserve service has been with 23 Field Regiment Royal Australian Artillery on the Gun Line and then with the University New South Wales Regiment as an instructor in the Driver Training Cell. Since leaving

the NSW Police he has undertaken a number of periods of Full Time Service with the Army and started and built up a successful small business as a Driving Instructor servicing Canberra and Queanbeyan. Like probably every defence member, police officer, firefighter, ambulance officer, corrective services officer, nurse, SES member and Volunteer Rescue Association member, he has memories of the job he would like to be able to forget. He has experienced the loss of friends killed on the job and those that have taken their own life. Don is an ordinary bloke, who chose to serve along with thousands of other ordinary men and women. Now he is keen to be a voice for those that were damaged by their service. He seeks to be elected to represent Eden Monaro and all Australians that have rolled up their sleeves and served Australia.

FEDERAL ELECTION CANDIDATE PROFILES Ursula Bennett- Christian Democrat Party The more I listen to the speeches made and promises given in this election campaign, the more I get the notion that our vote is being bargained for by the highest bidder or scared out of us by the one who manages to make the other side appear the blackest. How can we have forgotten in just over 100 years of federation that a governments job is to make good and just laws that will work for everyone, not just for the noisy majorities and is not to constantly offer band aid solutions an ailing economy and a disintegrating society whose foundations have been demolished and whose fabric has been deconstructed for decades. It is time to rediscover the laws of nature

and of nature’s God that govern family structure and economic principles. We are not ashamed to submit to the laws of mathematics in our business dealings because we know that is the only way of fair treatment for everyone and we even gladly learn and obey man-made traffic rules because we recognise that they deliver lifepreserving outcomes when it comes to high speed travel in heavy steel boxes which, if used unlawfully can turn into weapons of immense carnage, so why can’t we get our head around submitting to the likewise externally determined rules that govern marriage and family? The deciding issue in this election is

no doubt the introduction of same sex marriage,Since the opponents of this relatively new and unproven social construct are often called homophobic bigots, let me briefly explain what we in fact are trying to protect. ?The institution of marriage has provided humanity with procreative perpetuity for close to 6,000 years. Only when the expression of human sexuality is protectively encased in the folds of committed heterosexual marriage can it be the good and pure thing God meant it to be. likewise this relationship provides a stable loving and protective home for naturally resulting children to mature into responsible, well-balanced and contributing adults. If you can in all good conscience

agree with that statement, then put your vote where your convictions are and vote 1 for c.d.p. or any other party-independent that holds unwaveringly to the core value of traditional marriage. no matter what pressure from change agents will bare upon them. My advice to voters is to treat the election on 2 July as the poll on same sex marriage. The conservative side is at least at this stage still prepared to give people a say in the matter whereas the progressive side will just legislate for it regardless of what we think and at the same time ensure that dissenting voices will be silenced.

opposition to the economy. In areas like Cooma and Jindabyne particularly, who rely so heavily on the tourism flurries that arrive with the snow, she says the “Save our Winter” slogan is one that resonates. “Climate change is something we’re all starting to feel but which will magnify exponentially if we don’t keep the temperature rise below that crucial 1.5 to 2 degrees. East coast lows will hit us more intensely, heat waves will becomes normalised, droughts

intensified, and snow-based tourism obsolete. Our costed policies to reach 90% renewable energy by 2030 are in the interests of our climate, but also sustainable employment.” As well as transitioning away from fossil fuels and opposing the new coal mines that Labor and LNP have recently approved, we want to create more jobs through EdenMonaro by investing in publicly operated solar and wind farms, which we have so much more potential for. We’ll expand eco-tourism initiatives like the Bundian Way by ending native forest logging, while supporting the expansion of plantation logging in marginal pastureland. We’ll support coastal tourism by standing against the supertrawlers, and we’ll create more jobs by advocating for infrastructure upgrades in regional areas, including the NBN fibre to home network. The Greens are proposing to ensure equitable taxation by ending negative

gearing, capital gains tax discounts, ending corporate tax avoidance, and regulating taxable deductions of high earners. They say that excess revenue will be used to fully fund Gonksi, stand against the cuts to TAFE from both old parties, and fight uni deregulation. They want to extend Medicare to include dental, unfreeze the Medicare rebate, reverse cuts to registered nurses in aged care, and fight for legalisation of abortion in NSW. Greens are introducing legislation to protect penalty rates for workers, supporting fibre to home NBN, and tackling homelessness by eliminating incentives to investors. They’re pushing for marriage equality, and ending the offshore, indefinite detention of refugees. “I’m sick of being told we can’t afford to invest in real climate action, regional infrastructure, or economic equality. I say we can’t afford not to,” said Ms Ryan.

nominate for this election, I had to obtain 100 signatures. I found this was very difficult, mainly because people are fed up with politics in this country.” Competence of local government is another issue that Mr Thaler is looking at during his campaign. “I, like many in the electorate, was horrified by the amalgamation process of the Bombala, Cooma-Monaro and Snowy River shires,” he says, “My aim will be to halt the process and allow a referendum in each shire to determine the outcome for the people of the shires.” Mr Thaler also says that the government

often neglects our region of the electorate. “Too much money is spent in Queanbeyan and in Yass,” he says, “Promises of the Barton highway duplication in Yass should not take priority over the Monaro Highway. All we ask for is at least several more overtaking lanes on our road.” A proud dad of a home schooling family, Mr Thaler says he is not pretentious and importantly, he has chosen to live on the Monaro and therefore only wants the best for it.

Australian social contract that there ought to be no permanent under class in this nation and that our national burdens and challenges should be shared equitably. I am proud that Labor will guarantee the full funding of the Gonski education reforms – so that no child is left behind and that funds go to schools based on need. This program will mean, more oneon-one support and attention for every student, early intervention programs in every school – so that students don’t fall behind, remedial literacy and numeracy support in every school, more extra-curricular activities and more subject choices for students. I will work for a new economy that

preserves our world for future generations, that is diverse and offers the best opportunity for our children to live fulfilling, healthy and prosperous lives. I will dedicate myself to making this nation and our world a safer place. Will be achieved through a capable and imaginative Australian Defence Force and security agencies, a more cohesive society committed to inclusion and ending domestic violence, and a nation prepared to do what is reasonable and within its power as a good international citizen.

Tamara Ryan- The Greens At 26, Greens candidate Tamara Ryan is running as the youngest candidate for EdenMonaro but says, “when you see politicians arguing in question time, you realise it isn’t so much about age, as maturity and an ability to listen.” Ms Ryan has worked in law for eight years and is soon to be admitted as a solicitor. She entered politics because, “I’ve always cared about helping people, but realised that’s not always possible in a flawed system. When 1 in 7 Australians are living below the poverty line we have a structural problem. I want to empower people to challenge that system – not only through electoral politics but through activism and collective action.” Ms Ryan says she is sick of a narrative where climate action is thought of as

Andrew Thaler - Independent “There needs to be more real people in government.” Andrew Thaler of Nimmitabel will be appearing on the Eden-Monaro ballot paper in the upcoming federal election. Running as an independent candidate for the second election in a row, Mr Thaler describes himself as a ‘Solar PV Mogul’. He and his wife are Australia’s largest private owners of photovoltaic solar farms. His solar farm in Singleton is the fifth largest in NSW and the farm earns a tidy $30,000 per hectare per annum. Mr Thaler strongly believes that the Monaro, with its treeless plains, is an ideal location for solar farms and looks to encourage their development in the region. “With the African Lovegrass problem not being tackled appropriately in the region by

our authorities, farmers need to look now at diversifying their farm incomes away from animals and fodder,” he says. Mr Thaler has previously campaigned as an independent in the 2013 federal election and in the 2015 NSW election. His motivation for running is connecting with the community to create a sustainable, well planned and economically viable electorate. “I live in Nimmitabel, the middle of the electorate,” he says, “I am not left or right, I am a centralist.” “The major parties in this election are not honest. They do not have the interests of the electorate’s people at heart,” says Mr Thaler, “They are all about the politics and not the people. I believe our system in Australia is but a veneer of a democracy. In order to self

Mike Kelly AM - Australian Labor party I am motivated by traditional Labor values to which my family has adhered since the very founding of the Australian Labor Party. These are the creation of a society in which every child has the same opportunity to excel, that those who are unable to support themselves in an acceptable standard of life should be assisted, that those who have rendered our nation and community special service and their families should be appropriately supported, that ours should be a society based on merit, that the aim of government is to facilitate a sustainable economy with jobs for all who can work and that each generation has the responsibility to hand on our natural nation to the next generation in good shape. I believe the people of Eden-Monaro deserve a hard working local member who will fight their corner with passion and commitment. With over 165 years of

family tradition in this region it is part of my blood and bone and I have committed the remainder of my working life to its service. Beyond this I will fight for the interests of rural and regional Australia more broadly, as the soul of the nation whose potential must be fully realised. I am committed to a country that keeps faith with our tradition of the ‘fair go’ that fairness is the essence of our country, that we adhere to the

Peter Hendy - Liberals MP Dr Peter Hendy was elected in 2013 as the Member for Eden-Monaro and is the Assistant Cabinet Secretary and Assistant Minister for Finance. Peter began his career as a cadet with the Federal Treasury, and has since worked as an economic consultant across many industries in both the private and public sectors. Peter was the Chief Executive of the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry for six years, during which time he was awarded a Centenary Medal by the Governor-General for services to the business community. Peter holds a first-class honours degree in economics from the University of Queensland and a PhD in Government from the University of Canberra which he earned while studying part time, working

overseas as an economic adviser and running a small business. Peter has significant experience in public administration and policy at Federal and State Government levels; working as a Commonwealth Treasury economist, Senior Executive at the New South Wales Cabinet Office, and as Chief of Staff to a senior Minister in the Howard Government. Peter has also served as the Chief of Staff to Leader of the Liberal Party Dr Brendan Nelson, and as Julie Bishop’s principal adviser in her role as Deputy Leader of the Opposition and Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs and

Trade. Peter’s experience also includes being a director of the Australian Made, Australian Grown campaign, which advocates the purchase of Australian manufactured and agricultural products by Australian consumers. For over 16 years, Peter has lived locally in Queanbeyan with his wife Bronwyn and two children. Since his election Peter has worked to deliver better mobile phone coverage and broadband access, safer and upgraded local roads, investment in local infrastructure, lower taxes for small business to support local jobs, and a strong economic plan for both our nation and our region. This includes over $11 million for local roads across the Snowy Monaro region to make your journey safer, superfast broadband with fixed line NBN for Jindabyne, Berridale, Cooma, Polo Flat and Bombala by the end of 2017 and fixed wireless NBN for Delegate, Nimmitabel, Numeralla, Adaminaby

already underway, and investing in local jobs and growth by delivering $400,000 to enhance the Cooma Town Centre. Peter is keeping residents connected with mobile phone black spot funding secured for Bombala/Delegate, Numeralla, Dalgety, Avonside, and Anglers Reach and is investing in the local community with $20,000 to upgrade the Delegate Tennis Club Courts, $7,962 to install upgraded hose reels on Cooma Rural Fire Brigade tankers, $5,000 to renovate the Smiths Road Community Hall and Fire Shed, $15,000 to install a solar system on the Berridale Snowy River Hostel, over $50,000 in grants to support 16 Snowy Monaro volunteer groups, $300,000 to stop the spread of fireweed, and over $40,000 secured to provide continued community services at the Snowy Mountain Neighbourhood Centre for a further 2 years. Only the Turnbull Coalition Team will deliver political stability and has a strong economic plan for jobs and families across the Snowy Monaro region.

unbalanced Council amalgamations and restore democracy at the local government level. People need to remember that all these promises of millions of dollars mean nothing if the local member is not part of the government. As an independent I work for my constituents not for a party or leader. I will work with whoever forms government and this is a huge advantage for people. I will work for issues that matter and that will make a difference in the lives of

locals, not play ‘oppositional politics’. In meeting with people across the electorate it is clear they are very disillusioned. I do not believe they don’t care, quite the opposite. What I see happening is the major parties have no desire to engage them or listen and use their ideas to develop meaningful change. I am totally committed to raising their voice across the 3 years of the electoral term. With ‘business as usual’ for major parties you cannot expect democratic and economic change; instead we will move closer to the U.S, with huge inequality. I will work with constituents to develop the community we want. This is not about me, it is about us. You can be the change.

Daniel Grosmaire - Independent I believe in quality of life first. That together we can bring change. A positive change and equality. With an ageing population in a rural location, Cooma and the Monaro region faces the challenge of retaining young people in order to keep the community thriving. As a result we need to establish age services that value our older residents and maintain their important contribution in society. Community nursing with a continuity of care model can provide high quality aged care and maintain a strong community. For Cooma to keep young people we must provide them with hope for the future, local quality of life, employment options and connectivity to the outside world (NBN). We need to change our economic system

and the way we do things. For example, the Automated Payment Transaction Tax (APTT) can replace all other taxes. Large Corporations pay their fair share and a much wider taxation base is created. As a result disposable income of individuals and small business is drastically increased which leads to higher consumption, production, that in turn creates more jobs. I will hold both major parties to account regarding their financial ‘promises’. I will discuss the best use of any funding allocated to the electorate with local residents. I will fight against economically

In breach of Constitution? Local government’s common land law can only be changed by referendum. Mr. Baird’s statutory noncompliance with Constitutional Procedure is an insult to the Crown and to our federated LOCAL selfgoverning common law contractual Crown prerogative agreement sworn [under Oath and with Crown seal] and guaranteed for eternity under the 1901 Constitution to be with perpetual commercially binding incorporated local governing succession. The Authority for interpreting the Commonwealth Constitution is best found in The Annotated Commentaries of Quick and Garran (1900). The High Court has also delivered similar judgments. Q & G p791 says: The Federal and State parliaments are not sovereign bodies. They are legislatures with limited powers. Any law they attempt to pass in excess of this limited power is no law at all and is entitled to no obedience. Every citizen is entitled to and is guaranteed the protection of the Constitution which each is bound not to infringe. Every public officer, every political organ and every government department, is similarly bound. They are sworn not to exceed the limited authority conferred or reserved by the Constitution. I repeat. The Commonwealth and the State Governments are legislative (statutory) authorities. They have no Supreme Authority. Our Federated local government authority (on the other hand) operates under simple sworn public service trust of doing unto others against the oldest Christian Law known to human civilization and history. It remains with its purposive and prerogative Common Law and Magna Carta (Land) grant principles ….. delivering an administrative Authority (deliberately separate from any party political parliament) and bestowed upon “we the people” in response to our personal and private Letters Patent Petition Colony settlement demands of Queen Victoria (1842).

Editor, The State Opposition Leader Mr. Foley is correct. I refer to the MP News p10 June 22 - where he seemed positive and knowledgeable. Yes: we do have a Constitution. He said the right thing. At last – someone speaking where it counts. Someone is listening. I thought his argument, a real amalgamation breakthrough. Thank you Mr. Foley. I was encouraged. At last someone with common sense; someone who can read the written word; someone who knows the intent of the Letters Patent Petition. I read his all-embracing statement in paraphrase: “We have a Constitution. Premier Baird has contemptuously broken the Constitution. Mr. Baird has taken away the democratic right of the local franchised people whose local governance since 1842 is no business of State Government. Baird has misunderstood Federation. He must return what has been usurped.” I liked it. Then Mr. Kelly [Labor candidate] joined in the commentary his “committed” words appearing with flawed inconsistency and irreconcilable interpretive contradiction. I still remain confused. Together, both unintentionally revealed in their popular plebiscite offer (as I read it) to having no PS intelligence for how our tripartite system of governance works; and what our Constitution actually is. In this sense, neither gentleman appeared to have/had any comprehension for what this uniquely Federated 1901 Commonwealth Constitution does when, by its distinctive tripartite nature, Federation simply does not allow one statutory government to override another. These two legislative governments have co-existing but separate jurisdictional authorities. Local Government by contrast, is Common (land) Law based. The Labor offer of a wasteful; non-binding $20m plebiscite would (if brought forward) be in similar administrative contempt of Federation and the Constitution. It is no different to that which the Baird Government has so treacherously determined. Two wrongs never make a right.

Don’t waste a hard-fought right. Vote for the person you think will be our best representative for the next three years – then keep your fingers crossed! The spate of motor vehicle accidents in the last week has seen some very lucky escapes. Driving to the pub has taken on a new meaning in Bombala however! The NSW Budget has allocated funds to fix the Jerangle Road – let’s hope that improvement lessens the risk of lifethreatening accidents like the one reported on page 2. Lucky to be alive!

BE AWARE……. WOOD SMOKE – HELP KEEP OUR AIR CLEAN Better use of wood heaters can help with improving the air quality in our Region. - Use dry fuel and seasoned timber - Adjust air damper to all air flow to maintain burn - Ensure the fire burn bright to reduce smoke emissions If the air flow is reduced to the heater and the fire is allowed to smoulder – more smoke is made and you will find the not all the fuel will burn thoroughly. When purchasing or gathering wood - Ensure that it is dry and well-seasoned - When two pieces are struck together dry wood will give a “clack”, unseasoned will give a dull “clunk”. - Never use treated copper chrome-arsenate wood – this will release poisonous fumes. - Never burn garbage, painted timber or particle board – these release pollutants

So much happening at Berridale Public School Last week, the students of Berridale Public School have been busy preparing for a visit from the lovely ladies of the Berridale Country Women’s Association. A special morning assembly was held to celebrate their visit. This year the CWA’s Country of Study is Mongolia. Each class presented a special item to showcase what they had learnt about Mongolia including pictures and research on Mongolian animals along with a puppet and shadow box show. Principal Tracey Southam has been impressed with the conversations that have come from their learning. “The CWA Country of Study is an excellent way for our students to engage in inquiry based learning which really drives what they want to know

about a country. Students have engaged in conversations and research about factual information, political and environmental issues in Mongolia and what makes Mongolia so unique”. A great morning was had by all and we thank the CWA guests for spending time with us. Along with the CWA, we have also had a special guest spending time with each of the classes, Dr. Bill Crozier. Dr. Crozier has been interacting with students conducting weekly science lessons. From learning about parts of a plant, to experiments using heat along with how animals

adapt to desert environments, Dr. Crozier brings a lot of knowledge to the classroom and we appreciate his time and energy with the children. The grounds of Berridale Public School are getting a makeover. The school grounds are beautiful and we endeavour to maintain the colours of the garden throughout the winter months where possible. Bernie Power, the school maintenance manager, has purchased with help from the Berridale P & C Committee, a range of plants

and flowers to enhance the garden and the areas the children play. Bernie has been working with the Year 2/3 class to plant some of the gardens surrounding their classroom. The students have enjoyed getting their hands dirty and we are all excited to see what they are all going to look like come Spring. Pictured at bottom: Chaplain Pete Richards. Left and below: students prepare for CWA visit.

Supporting teachers and students of Berridale PS Local chaplain Pete Richards has been supporting the teachers and students of Berridale Public School through promoting school wellbeing and a supportive environment this term. School principal, Tracey Southam is pleased that Pete is supporting the excellent teaching and learning that is happening in each class. “As teachers, it is assuring to know that we can focus on a particular group in Literacy or Numeracy whilst another group is also being supported by a second adult – our chaplain. The sum

total of this is every student in our school gets academic attention they need and deserve; this provides a platform for success and wellbeing” Tracey explains. Students love having Pete around and are always asking in the playground, “Where’s Pete? Where’s Pete?” The teachers are already organising activities for next Semester that Pete will be involved in to further support the health and wellbeing of the students.

Foundation Day 2016 at SMGS On Friday June 17, Snowy Mountains Grammar School held their annual Foundation Day, celebrating 20 years of education. The school’s guest speaker was Ms Helen Rhodes, currently a teacher at Shore in North Sydney, and who was the third teacher to start at SMGS. Helen’s two children also attended Snowy Mountains Grammar School. Helen stated, “My son Nathan started here in Year 9 in 1996 and completed Year 12 in 1999. As he sat in this very shed, he was intrigued by the complexities of the Snowy Scheme, so he went on to graduate with an Honours Degree in Civil Engineering. He followed this up with a Masters of Commercial Law and is now a General Manger for the Anglo-Swiss company Glencore, one of the world’s largest corporations. Nathan was appointed SMGS School Captain in 1999. “Cassie learnt to row on Lake Jindabyne and represented Snowy Mountains Grammar School at many regattas. She was spotted by the NSW Institute of Sport when they were training their Olympic teams here on the lake. She moved to Sydney in Year 11 to join NSWIS and, through her rowing, she gained a scholarship to Boston University where she graduated on their Honour Roll. Cassie has worked for the charity the McGrath Foundation for six years. You are probably most familiar with the Pink Cricket Test that happens in early January that Cassie has been involved with, but what has become the most significant fund-raising initiative of the McGrath Foundation has its origins in Cassie growing up in Jindabyne.” Principal Mr Andrew Bell said, “Foundation Day is an important milestone each year, where we show our gratitude for the wisdom, courage and commitment demonstrated by those who contributed to the establishment of the school, including those from Redlands and also members of the local community. Without this vision, hundreds of students over the years would not have had the opportunity to be educated at SMGS, and for locals in the early years this would have certainly meant leaving home to go to school elsewhere in NSW, as there were no secondary school options at the time in Jindabyne.” The Cordis Spiritus Award is presented to one Year 6 and one Year 12 student, and is considered an important part of the Foundation Day Celebrations. The recipients chosen for this Award best demonstrate the attributes of a student of the school, with regards to their behaviour, respect, trustworthiness and courtesy shown to all. Mrs Marcia Elliott announced the Junior School which was Charlotte Wilson. The winner of the Senior School was announced by Director of Senior School, Mrs Sue West, which was awarded to Kate Hobbs. The House Service awards were also announced. These awards are to recognise the achievement and work of a student in service to their house as a school community, throughout the year. This year’s winners were – Callum Bradshaw from Kiandra, Harry Stephenson from Mowamba, Isabella Emmert from Twynam and Josh Kuner from Cascades.

U3A

University of the Third Age Welcome to U3A’s first column I thought it would be a good idea to start at the beginning and give you an introduction as to when and where U3A began.. U3A stands for University of the Third Age – a title not be taken literally. There are no academic qualifications assignments or examinations and no awards except a pat on the back. U3A is a worldwide movement where retired people, from all walks of life, in their “third age” of active retirement - after childhood, employment and parenting, get together to teach and learn from each other. The first Universite du Troisieme Age (UTA) was founded in Toulouse, France in February 1973 by Pierre Vellas. In 1981, Peter Laslett and Michael Young established the first British University of the Third Age. The movement has spread throughout the world. U3A’s are community based, not for profit groups, which aim to utilise skills and abilities of the members themselves. The curriculum of each U3A group is determined by the needs and preferences of its members and the resources available to it. Each U3A is responsible for its own expenses, mainly met from individual membership fees. Now that you are informed about U3A. I can assure you that we are fulfilling those requirements here in Cooma. We have many courses that you, as a member, can attend eg., Shakespeare, French, computing, ipad, silk painting, ukulele. Poetry, music appreciation, mosaics, crochet and craft, cycling,digital photography, investing and online trading, using a tablet or Iphone. To join one or many of our classes, the fee is $40 per year. For further information about times for the classes please look on our website: www.snowymountains.u3anet.org.au/noticeboard or email: secretary@snowymountains.u3anet.org.au Alternatively drop into the SMU3A Shed which is between Liquor Land and Your House at 75a Sharp Street Cooma.

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

ARE YOU SELF-EMPLOYED, OR A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER WANTING TO BUY A HOUSE OR COMMERCIAL PREMISES? FINDING IT HARD TO GET FINANCE? I often hear from people that they are struggling getting finance through their Bank as they are self-employed. Or they want to buy their business premises, but the rates are so much higher. Come and talk to me. I have years of experience in reading business financials and tax returns, and know how to present them to the Lender in an application. I also know which Lender’s policies will give you more chance of an approval, as they do have different assessment policies. There are also some Lenders out there who are offering business loans on low residential rates, using either residential or commercial security. One Lender at the moment, has a variable rate of under 4.50% for business loans, with either residential or commercial security. To find out more, or to see if it would suit your needs, contact me for an obligation free appointment. I also have built up some connections and referral partners, so that if I am unable to assist directly, I can refer you to someone who may be able to. If you are looking for equipment finance or leasing, I can arrange for someone to contact you to discuss options. Being self-employed also means you need to look after other areas of your financial situation, to ensure you are on the right track. Damian Toms is a senior financial planner, who can offer advice on areas such as personal insurance, super, wealth creation, and retirement planning. I confidently refer my clients to him, and receive very positive feedback. I can arrange for him to call you or make an appointment to meet. So, whatever your current situation is, I am more than happy to have a chat and see if I can improve your situation.

Please call me for an appointment, on mobile: 0431 351 873

Property investors opt for old over new Property investors are increasingly on the hunt for established dwellings, new research has revealed. According to Mortgage Choice’s annual Investor Survey, 76.7% of Australian investors purchased an established investment property rather than a new build. “This is up from 2015, when 75.8% of investors indicated that they had purchased an established dwelling,” Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said. “Despite the fact that there is an increasing number of new properties – including new apartment blocks – coming onto the property market, it would seem as though the majority of investors feel as though an established dwelling would best suit their needs. “Investors are savvy, they aren’t looking to lose money on their investment. They want to invest in a property that has the potential to deliver strong capital growth and rental yields. And looking at the data, it would appear the majority of investors believe an established dwelling will help them to do just that. “Further, our data suggests the majority of investors also want to buy a decent sized property that will attract a wide range of tenants.” More than 71% of investors said their investment property was a house that boasted at least two bedrooms. “Investors understand that the better their premise is in terms of size and access to important amenities, the more likely they will be to attract and retain good quality tenants,” Mr Flavell said. “The reality is, the vast majority of the dwellings

that are attractive to potential and existing property investors are good sized, established properties. “With that said, I hope both sides of government make sure they complete a thorough analysis of the impact that restricting investment policies like negative gearing to solely new properties would have on both potential and existing property investors. Earlier this year, the Labor party announced it would restrict negative gearing to just new properties if elected. “At Mortgage Choice, we believe negative gearing plays an important role in the property market. The tax benefits associated with negative gearing helps to make property investment more attractive to some Australians. And, given that the success and strength of the housing market is critical to the ongoing health of the Australian economy, it doesn’t make sense to consider removing any initiatives that help this market,” Mr Flavell said. “Instead of placing the emphasis on negative gearing and the impact it has on the property market, we should be placing the emphasis on first home buyers and what initiatives/incentives we can introduce to help them. “Looking at our latest data, more than one third of property investors were first time buyers. In other words, one in three property investors decided to buy an investment property before an owner occupied home. “Looking ahead, with property prices rising fairly steadily across the capital cities, I wouldn’t be surprised to see an increasing number of first time buyers purchasing investment properties before an owner occupied dwelling.”

Over the past couple of weeks, Mortgage Choiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share price has climbed steadily higher, prompting the Australian Securities Exchange to issue the business with a price query. Mortgage Choice chief executive officer John Flavell said the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent share price growth should be seen as an upshot of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued strong business results. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have received a number of queries in relation to our growing share price, and as per our response to the ASX, I would like to state that Mortgage Choice is unaware of any material changes to the business that would be driving this growth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe the growth in our share price is simply reflective of our strong performance over the past 12 months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the Half Year Financial Results we reported a 12.4% increase in cash Net Profit After Tax in comparison to the prior corresponding period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And, since that time, Mortgage Choice has

continued to deliver exceptionally strong business results. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In March we reported that continued revenue growth and prudent expense management had resulted in the Mortgage Choice Financial Planning division delivering its first profitable monthly result. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since then, the proportion of recurring revenue (coming from ongoing advice fees and insurance renewal premiums) has continued to grow strongly, allowing the financial planning business to turn its second monthly profit result. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looking ahead, continued growth in new business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; across the entire company - gives me the confidence to state that the positive results we have achieved to date are repeatable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look forward to discussing the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full financial results in August. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it also important to note that in recent years, Mortgage Choiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share price has tracked well in excess of our current pricing.â&#x20AC;?

Q fever vaccine on PBS NSW Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; says thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been enough talk, now there has to be action on the contentious issue of Q fever. NSW Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has long been calling for the Q fever vaccine to be placed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. At this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual conference (July 19-21) in Sydney, the Association will again be debating how best deal with this deadly disease with discussions to include a more targeted Q fever vaccination for Australians who work with relevant livestock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vaccination can be expensive and that additional expense is a barrier to both regional and rural health and a

barrier to employing people on farm,â&#x20AC;? Sheep Meat Committee Chair, Ian Cargill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know too many people who have been struck down by this debilitating disease and its effects can be catastrophic. I have heard far too many horror stories from victims. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to see some action on the issue.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Q fever can be spread thorough interaction with livestock. Symptoms can include serious liver and lung disease. Anyone working or living on a farm are being urged to visit their GP and get vaccinated.

Wet weather welcomes winter The wet start to winter has significantly changed the outlook for primary producers across the state. Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Seasonal Conditions Coordinator Ian McGowen said following the extended hot, dry autumn the rainfall received during late May and early June has made a vast difference across the landscape. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Late May provided above average rainfall across 68 per cent of the state covering the western, southern and central areas,â&#x20AC;? Mr McGowen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Widespread follow-up rainfall was received in early June across inland NSW and an east coast low produced heavy rainfall and flooding across coastal areas and the adjacent ranges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During May pasture growth across most of inland NSW had improved dramatically as a result of the rainfall and warm temperatures. Annual and perennial pastures across western, southern and central NSW responded well to conditions in late May, with good establishment of newly sown pastures. Relative to historical records, May pasture growth

was above average across areas of the far west, central west, Riverina, far south and the central and southern tablelands, providing valuable winter feed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stock condition remains reasonably good, with supplementary feeding being reduced as pasture and forage crop production increases. Grazing of dual purpose cereals and canola has commenced, although growth has slowed with the onset of frosts and cooler wet weather in late May and early June. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wet conditions have restricted early weed control and topdressing. Weed control now remains a priority for growers due to the lack of control opportunities prior to sowing. The Bureau of Meteorologyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rainfall outlook for June to August indicates wetter than normal conditions are likely cross NSW. The Bureau of Meteorologyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s El NiĂąo Southern Oscillation (ENSO) outlook status is at La NiĂąa watch, with many climate models indicating a negative Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) event is likely to begin in late winter. La NiĂąa and negative IOD events increase the chances of above-average rainfall across NSW in winter and spring.

A successful day of networking was enjoyed as Landmark Bombala & Delegate held their Annual Trade Day and Client Evening last Wednesday, June 22. A good roll up of people visited the Bombala store to wander through the many trade stalls set up for the afternoon, with everything from wool presses to ear tag applicators and even pellet heaters being demonstrated. Among the companies represented were Waratah, Zoetis, Heritageseeds and Cooper’s Animal Health, along with new local business, KM Dipping Services. Later that evening clients gathered at the Bombala RSL Club to enjoy refreshments with the Landmark team, taking in the second State of Origin game of the season on the big screen. “It was another successful day, with a good response from clients,” Landmark Bombala’s Matt Green said.

Market Comment: The second last sale for the season saw 22,108 bales put before the trade, making it the smallest national offering in 4 years. The market continued on with last week’s rally and lifting the NRI by three cents. The rise came in spite of a firming AUD which increased 2.5% to finish above 75 US cents. In USD terms the NRI was 27 cents higher. Buying pressure continued to show in the medium and broader microns which added as much as 25 cents clean over the 2 days on the back of scarce quantity. c/kg cln

21 Mic AU

However most of the volume was in the finer microns and these barely maintained the price levels of the previous sale The smallest offering of Merino Skirtings in twelve months were also well supported and were generally in line with the previous week. Crossbreds continued to trend lower, easing 5 to 10 cents this week. The merino carding indicator slipped 5-10 cents despite it being one of the smallest oddment selections on record. Source: AWEX

NSW Budget â&#x20AC;&#x201C; LLS lose in Budget The Department of Primary Industries aspiration of a 30 per cent boost in agriculture by 2020 has taken a hit in the NSW Budget. At a time when Local Land Services (LLS) is gearing up to implement landmark biodiversity reforms, the Government is proposing to sell $19 million of LLS property. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is disappointing news. If LLS assets are to be sold, then the revenue raised must go towards infrastructure to support farmers,â&#x20AC;? said NSW Farmers President Derek Schoen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without strong commitments for additional LLS resourcing, we are not confident Government will be able to roll out biodiversity reforms to farmers as promised on January 1, 2017.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Schoen said there are some wins for regional communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The accelerated commitment of $15 million in new money to extend the Mobile Black Spot program is the one new initiative the NSW Government has done in this budget to increase farmer productivity.â&#x20AC;? The 2016-17 Budget reiterates last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment of $6 billion from the $20 billion expected from the long term lease of the poles and wires. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From this allocation, it is pleasing to see the Government continue to roll out commitments to planning for the Bell â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lithgow section of the Bells Line of Road, and planning for new sections of the Newell, in addition to continuing commitments to the Mitchell, Oxley, Golden Highways and

smaller allocations to the Silver City Highway and Cobb Highway,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Schoen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also welcome the long overdue investment in the Broken Hill water pipeline and the $25 million commitment to the Dubbo Hospital Upgrade and additional funds for Tamworth and Orange Base hospitals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given the current issues surrounding crime in rural areas, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pleased to see $57 million for upgraded police stations, including at Gunnedah, Moss Vale, Deniliquin, Walgett and Coffs Harbour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The allocation of funds to maintain and upgrade grain lines, and $40 million dollars to reduce fire risks in national parks is also welcome,â&#x20AC;? Mr Schoen concluded.

Illegal firewood collection on TSRs under the spotlight South East Local Land Services is closely monitoring travelling stock reserves (TSRs) for illegal firewood collection. Fines of up to $5,500 can apply to people caught carrying out illegal activity on TSRs under the Local Land Services Act 2013. People using TSRs legally for activities including bushwalking and birdwatching are also being encouraged to report any suspicious

activity. Local Land Services is responsible for maintaining these public assets and protecting them from illegal activities, South East Local Land Services Acting Manager Biosecurity and Emergency Services, Chris Harris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are closely watching a number of TSRs in our region and will be taking legal action against anyone found removing firewood, dumping rubbish and dirt bike riding,â&#x20AC;? Mr Harris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Local Land Services is using surveillance cameras, staff inspections and public reports to identify and fine offenders.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;TSRs have social, grazing, ecological and cultural heritage value, and can be easily damaged through removing timber and other illegal activities.â&#x20AC;? People can report any illegal activity to Local Land Services on 1300 795 299, or to their local police station. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We encourage everyone to report suspicious behaviour on TSRs and to record as much detail as possible,â&#x20AC;? Mr Harris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Information such as registration numbers, descriptions, locations and dates will help us fine those responsible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We encourage all users of TSRs to take steps to protect these valuable public assets.â&#x20AC;?

South East Local Land Services is currently finalising the installation of signs on TSRs across the region to increase community awareness of TSRs and their uses. Special use permits are available from your Local Land Services Office for a range of nondestructive recreational activities. Camping on TSRs is prohibited at all times unless you are with travelling stock. People can collect firewood from selected state forests with a firewood permit.

Cooma District Junior Rugby League - Colts Round Eight South East Embroidery Under 7’s Round 8 saw the Cooma Colts up against the Woden Weston Gold’s at the Cooma showground. The Colts didn’t get off to a great start, this was the Colts first game without the coach on the field and there was confusion around the ruck and defensive line which saw Woden cross over the line for the first tries of the match. With some great hit ups and strong runs from Nate stokes and Riley Williams saw them both score a double each. Jesse Hurford and Keely-May Usher-Rodahl showed solid defence and were moving quick off the line to shut down their opposition. Harper Woolf and Mitchell Fletcher showed some pace and strength with some good runs. Tyler Lee and Aiden Dixon ran strongly with the ball and helped their team in defence. The Colts tried their best to hit back but the Woden Golds were far too strong with the end score being 16-40 to the Woden Golds. Tries this week went to Nate Stokes (2) and Riley Williams (2) the Medal this week went to Harper Woolf and the Certificate went to Tyler Lee. Snowy River Painting Under 8’s – White The Colts were at home on Sunday with a frosty old morning taking on the Queanbeyan Blues. The Colts attack was outstanding with blistering runs from Othon Morgan, Jackson Cook, Riley McKenzie, Lachlan Bryan and Kyte Lee, which put the Colts on the front foot from the blow of the whistle. The Colts crossed for a try from almost every set with Othon Morgan, Kyte Lee, Riley McKenzie and Jackson Cook unstoppable in their efforts. The Blues came at the Colts through some strong counter attack with a team of big boys that hit the Colts defensive line hard, but tough defence from all of the Colts and in particular Cooper Lee, Bailey Benn and Lachlan Burchall with consistently solid tackles, shut the Blues down set after set. Although the Blues managed to capitalise from second phase play, the Colts attack proved too strong for the Blues that turned out to be a try scoring bonanza, flogging the Blues 46 to 18. A big effort from all of the Colts to take them into the holiday break to give them a well-earned break. Try scorers were Kyte Lee (3), Riley McKenzie (3), Othon Morgan (2) and Jackson Cook (1). Conversions to Lachlan Burchall (2), Othon Morgan, Riley McKenzie and Jackson Cook. The Medal winner was Bailey Benn and the Maccas award went to Jackson Cook. Monaro Panel Beaters u9s The Monaro Panel Beaters u9s played the Gunghalin Bulls in a very entertaining and physical game. There were a lot of standouts, but what really stood out was the way the Colts stuck beside their team mate and backed each other up! With Jett Kelly, Dempsey Woolf, Tyrell Bartlett, Archie Blyton and Lachie Sky keeping the Bulls in check with their big hits on defence and Wyatt Hurford, Jack Dunn, Hunter Caldwell, Connor Nelson and Chucky Payne breaking tackles at will, it made for a great spectacle. Natasha Kelly, Ben Smith and Rylee Holland were strong in both attack and defence, man of the match went to our Captain Dempsey Woolf and the Mc Donald’s award went to our

Hitman Tyrell Bartlett. Thanks must go to our team helpers and our supporters also. Sports Power under 10’s The Sports Power under 10’s took on Crookwell at home. Unfortunately the boys start to the game didn’t go the way we hoped as Crookwell put some quick points on the board. Living up to their true form the boys hit back to get themselves back into the game. Lee Morgan again showed that he is a player that will take any opportunity given to him and turn it into points, scoring a hat-trick of tries and tackling well all game. Mitchell Reid also proved that if there was a bit of space he too will cross the line. Judah-Fai Filiga showed he has some real speed and power making a number of line breaks throughout the game. Lucas Umback was aware in the middle cleaning up all the loose balls after some strong Colts defence. Charlie Fleming and Rhys Cleverly pulled off one of the best hits this year. Cameron Filtness also had some strong runs looking dangerous at times only to be wrapped up short of the line. Josh Williams had some metremaking runs and continued to move of the line in defence. Jack Roberson continues each week to bring more to his game showing his not afraid to hit it up. Zane Usher-Rodhal proved that numbers in the tackles count, coming in as support and wrapping the ball up in defence. Tyler Waldren made a few good runs throughout the game, while Ty Brazulaitis made a few good tackles. Clayton Clarke kept the Crookwell wingers on their toes with some good runs out wide, he also tackled well throughout the game. Jacob Smith’s hard work and persistence paid off as he found the line from a well time dart from dummy half, he also defended well. The final score was Crookwell ahead 36-26. Try Scorers Lee Morgan 3, Mitchell Reid 1, Jacob Smith 1. Conversions Rhys Cleverly, Mitchell Reid, Cameron Filtness. Player of the Week went to Judah-Fai Filiga. Hit Man Award went to Lee Morgan. Highland Ground Spreading Under 11’s The eighth round was at home against the Valley Dragons. The boys were urged to tighten up their defence and delivered with some strong tackles early on. The pressure soon saw the opposition drop the ball and allowed the Colts plenty of possession in the 1st half resulting in a healthy 38 – 0 score line at half time. The Valley Dragons then came out with a new lease of life and started to put some pressure on the Colts. The Colts again stepped up with some good defence to come home with a resounding win 48 – 4. The best and fairest were awarded to Cooper Inskip, 3 points and the medal, Talon Kelly 2 points and Kristian Zusak 1 point. Choc awards to Jack Kleven and Deizel Barret. Tries and goals to Jacory Hart, Talon Kelly and Jordan Williams. Tries to Tobi Inskip, Louie Mould, Justin McDonald and Kristian Zusak goal scorers were Jack Kleven, Thomas King and Deizel Barret. The boys are running hot at the start of the second round staying on top of a tight ladder with Crookwell.

Mainstreet Under 12’s The Main Street Cooma Colts Under 12’s took on the undefeated Queanbeyan Kangaroos at Cooma. They took the game right to them at the first half with some good hard running from Connor, Tirone, Jack, Shawn and Sam. This was backed up by great dummy half work with Barrett scoring a sneaky try and Jonah just missing the conversion and hitting the crossbar. Lachlan took it upon himself to lift the team with some great runs from first receiver, excellent one on one defensive work and scoring a great individual try, with Jack just missing the conversion and hitting the upright making the score 10-8 at half time. Jacob, Doron and Aron came on the second half and kept up the good defensive work with Kayla and James tackling hard. Jonah and Alex were stepping and weaving their way through some heavy traffic with Adam and Cooper backing them up well. Final score was 22-8 to the Roos. It was an extremely good game from Lachlan who was awarded man of the match. Franks Butchery Under 13’s The Franks Butchery sponsored Cooma Colts U13’s played the undefeated Goulburn Stockmen this week looking to improve on last week’s game. Unfortunately in the first half the Colts repeated the mistakes of last week with more inconsistent defence and poor ball control. This combined with an unstoppable player from Goulburn resulted in a 34-0 score in favour to the Stockmen at half time. To the Colts credit, despite the frustrating first half performance, they kept turning up and scored two tries late in the game and restricted Goulburn to only one second half try to make the final score Goulburn Stockmen 40 – Cooma Colts 12. All players gave their all individually but it was one of those days when the execution let them down. This week the 3 points went to Jake Taylor-Friend for a mistake free game in attack and defence. Hudson Laird received two points for a determined performance with the ever reliable Ty McKenzie getting one point for a strong running game. Congratulations to Colts Under 13s player James Dyball who has been selected in the Canberra Raiders Development Squad. James will play a series of games against other development squads in the coming weeks and will learn a lot from the experience.

Cooma Tigers draw with Capital Country The Tigers were keen for a win in their last match before the break last Saturday. Capital Country were able to secure two early goals in the first half despite excellent work in goals by Ryan and many good chases and hustles from Noah and Tom in the backs. Next it was our turn to shine with a great sideline sprint with the ball from Liam and a secure pass to Sam who gave a big left footed goal straight into the back of the net bringing it to 2-1. Shortly followed by one of Reuben’s powerful throw ins making the distance to find Finn on the burst for goal number two. With the scores locked at 2-2 at half time the Tigers had to dig deep for the second session. With solid work from all the backs especially Will the Tigers were able to thwart many attempts from Capital Country.

They too played desperate defence making for a nail biting finish with neither team able to convert resulting in a 2-2 draw. When we arrived at the Downer grounds the club had displayed a sign reminding us that it was junior sport and officials were volunteers as many clubs do. The sign requested good behaviour and sportsmanship from all. It went on to say that this match was not A League and it was not the World Cup. However, I would like to think that if in fact it was an A League or World Cup match that the values would be also be expected and demonstrated at the highest level. Well done to both teamsthe players, coaches, officials and spectators on another fine example of fair, fun and competitive sport.

Red Devils U14s

Rotary was alive with a big day of Rugby,celebrating the Old boy’s and a full program of Junior and Senior matches. The Red Devil’s under 14’s ran on the field,keen to avenge a heavy loss to Eddies earlier in the season. The boys have been training hard during a two-week lay off and were showing some tough defence from the start. Eddies had a lot of possession which resulted in some early points.

Every one has really noticed the rapid improvement in the 14’s and their tenacity really unsettled St Eddies. The lineouts have been a highlight of their training with a few steals from Luke Fitzgerald and Braith Fitzgerald, providing good possession.The final score was 31-0 to Eddies which was not a reflection of the enormous effort the boy’s put in. Points were 3 to Will Cahill 2 to Alec Miners and 1 point shared to Jake Quodling and Jacob Squire.

Bombala junior footballers play host to Bega

Well another cold day for footy but these brave little men took to the field with pride. The Under 7s boys got their mojo back this week and showed the Bega Roosters that we are a force to be reckoned with.. Every single boy on the team put in a stellar effort, some amazing runs by Torin Hillyer and Joey Sullivan with Joey again showing us his amazing tackling skills and another try saving tackle. The defence was on point with all boys putting in a fantastic effort. Congratulations to Caleb Papali and Joey Sullivan for both receiving our Milo Player of The Match this week. Louise Wright Coach Rain hail or snow there’s not much could dampen the under 8s spirit on Saturday for their final home game. Up against Bega they managed to pull off a great win. New girl on the block Keira Chamberlain grew in confidence with her first game with a couple of good runs and dummy half work. Jake brown had a big game bagging a couple of trys for his efforts as did Josh Tellis bagging a double with his footwork. Ari Sten got rewarded with his first try for the year and once again topped the tackle count. Tanner Hurley showed some amazing foot work turning the opposition inside and out and also scoring two tries. Max Power, Gracie Brownlie and Ruby Smith also worked hard in defence with high tackle counts and great runs. Linky Papalii, Freddy Merritt and Liam Strickland also put their hands up all game with some strong runs. Milo player of the match went to Zara Brotherton. Zara was very unlucky not to score a great individual try and is always working hard for her team week in week out. Well done kids. Rollie Skellern Coach There were happy faces even though they were red from the cold when the under 9s kicked off on Saturday. It may seem this team is a little top heavy and there may be as many team members off the field as on the spirit is still strong. That strength showed on Saturday when everyone waited their turn and squeezed together to share blankets and hand warmers when they were not playing. There was the usual amount of enthusiasm from this great little team. Bega may have come away with a win but the under 9s made them work hard for it. Arlen Hillyer once again played very well as did Sam Richardson and they were awarded Milo Men of the Match for it. Well done boys, great effort for the last home game. Coach Drew Mannin Like all the teams the Under 12’s put in a huge effort on Saturday but unfortunately went down to Bega who were just a stronger more powerful team. It really was coming in hard with wind and the occasional sheets of sleet and rain when this game was happening even the spectators were finding it hard. No one could blame the Heelers for not wanting to

take a hit in the weather that was coming in however the whole team improve each week. Watching the team work is becoming very interesting as the team are really getting some good combinations together. This performance proves that a victory is not too far away just a little more pushing. This week’s points were awarded as follows. 3 points Jack Ventry 2 Lachlan Simpson 1 Beau Brownlie. Coach Damien Smith . The Pink Heelers are to be congratulated for their efforts on the weekend considering the conditions they played in. The freezing winds made running, passing and catching very difficult. Despite all of this, their ever improving ball skills stood out as they were able to put together lots of passages of play involving many passes across the field. The girls put an incredible amount of pressure on the Bega Girls with their tough, enthusiastic defence. Dakota Miles had many strong runs in attack and was rock solid in defence. Molly Badewitz also had a strong attacking game. Shauna Keavey was deemed the player of the game with an outstanding game, particularly in defence. After being defeated by the Bega team in the first round, the girls demonstrated just how much they have improved by running out convincing winners 22-8. Big congratulations to the girls, who will have their work cut out for them next weekend against Narooma. Coach Emma Sullivan. This weekend saw Bombala host its final home game for the season, in what were extremely icy conditions. Bega turned up with a very inform and highly skilled team. The Bombala boys struggled in defence up against such a well drilled team. Unfortunately there were a number of poor attacking options made on Bombala’s behalf which resulted in lost ball and errors. On a more positive note, Rowan Keavey and Bryson Phillips-Jones both managed to break their defence to cross the line, putting points on the board for Blue Heelers Under 14s . Baidon Sten converted one try. Points were awarded as follows 3 points and players player went to little Jack Cuzner who had an outstanding game. As a fringe player he managed to make himself more available in attack and made a huge impact in defence, proving to be a strong and reliable tackler. 2 points went to Lane Stevenson who continually pushes himself to excel in every aspect of the game. His consistency and reliability each week in both defence and attack are outstanding. 1 point went to captain Reagan Hurley for his hard work and effort as well as his organisation and direction of the team. Looking forward to a warmer game at Narooma next

weekend. Coaches Sam Sten and Kieren.

It’s always great to see junior members helping out around the field either in the canteen or selling tickets but this past week it was for a very special reason. Thanks to hard work and donations the Under 14s will be heading off to be a part the excitement of the final State of Origin. Without this opportunity some of these children would never get to experience such a major event in their chosen sport. We need to thank the Under 14 parents also for helping and the Bombala high school for hire of the school bus. Last of all special thanks must go to the Bombala Blue Heelers Junior Committee for giving the Boys the opportunity to run the canteen and donating the takings from the day to the trip expenses. Now the U14’s team, coaches and a few lucky dads will get to experience the excitement of State of Origin 3.. Special thank you to all the 2016 season sponsors which includes the following: Nerida Manning Podiatrist, Linga Longa, Franks Butchery, Bruce’s Earthmoving, Glenavon Pastoral Co., JD Interstate Transport, Food Works, Bendoc Poll Herefords, Bombala Cycles and Chainsaws, T and J Murphy’s Transport, Envy Industries, Talbot Transport, G and R Brownlie Shearing, IGA Bombala, Guthrie Construction, D and L High Country Earthworks, Damton Farming, MCH Welding, Southern Highland Contracting, Jamieson Bros, Bombala RSL Club, Hands on Bitz and Pizza, Platypus Crush Repairs, R’N’R Massage Clinic, Bombala Bakery, Raw Strength, Palarang Meats,

This was the third round of the PSSA Knockout and the girls acquitted themselves very well, proving to be a very slick outfit who all played as a team and won this game 22-7. Now they move into the fourth round, where they will play

Jess Vincent shoots for a goal.

Jerrabomberra. This puts this team in the top four of the region, equalling the performance of most past teams from our school. The girls again displayed some great combinations on the court and stunned the opposition, shooting five unanswered goals in very windy conditions before Queanbeyan West scored once. As all girls played with strength all over the court it is nearly impossible to single out any one performance, however the shooting combination of Zara and Jessie was just beautiful to behold.

Annie Green passes the ball to a fellow team member. Each and every one of these girls can be extremely proud not only of their performance but also of their cohesive teamwork, the way in which they conducted themselves and their sportsmanship at all times. Again thank you to Rocky Badewitz for umpiring, the Bombala Netball Club for their continued support and each and every person who braved the cold wind to cheer us on. Good luck girls for the next challenge.

Bombala wins thrillers in heritage round at home The icy conditions on Saturday did not stop the Bombala & District Rugby League Club from hosting a fantastic day of football against the Bega club including the first grade’s Heritage round’. The players were presented their jerseys from the former 1991 premiership winning team and continued on to play in the former style jerseys with great pride. The club also took part in the fundraising event for ‘Women in League’ with the women and junior girls all donning pink ‘Women in League’ socks. Ladies League Tag The Bombala ladies braved the very cold conditions to battle it out against the strong former premier team the Bega Chicks. The scores were locked for much of the first half as the defence from both teams proved extremely solid. It was an eventual penalty kick to the Bega chicks’ right in front of the sticks that landed them first points. Not letting this deter the confidence of the home team, the High Heelers soon hit back starting from an 80m sprint by Tash Stewart who was denied points just shy of the line, however a quick play the ball saw Keiarna Rodwell steam roll through the defence unable to be tagged. The four-pointer put the girls in front 4-2 in the 23rd minute. This momentum continued and not long after the kick off it was off a precision ball from Emma Sullivan (sponsored by DF & D Stewart) that Keiarna hit a fantastic hole and ducked and weaved through defenders to bag her second try for the day. After Bega again received a penalty in front of the sticks just on half time, the kick was waved away and it was the High Heelers leading 10-2 at half time.

With the wind at their backs in the second half the Heelers were extremely keen to take the win convincingly. Georgie Clarke (sponsored by Monaro Post) mastered a beautiful set play to put Annie McGrath (sponsored by Hands on Bitz & Pizzas Bombala) in to score 10 minutes into the second half, with Annie converting the score was 16-2 the Heelers looked comfortable. However it may have been this sense of comfort that led to a series of uncharacteristic errors, constantly handing possession back to the Bega team. Keeping the crowd on their feet as the High Heelers kept up their gruelling defence, the pressure ended up too much and the Chicks capitalised twice to take the score to a close 12-16. However the relentless defence particularly from captain Patrice Clear, Tash Stewart and Lucy Sellers ensured the High Heelers ended up victorious at 12-16. Player’s player and 3 points went to Keiarna Rodwell (sponsored by Rodwell Haulage & Plant Hire), 2 points went to Tash Stewart (sponsored by Raw Strength & Fitness) and 1 point went to Patrice Clear (Sponsored by Clear Cut Electrical & Rural Services).

Reserve Grade The Blue Heelers Reserve Grade Team had the tough task of taking on leaders of the ladder the Bega Roosters and without their devoted Captain-coach Clay Stewart this would be a tough ask. Solid defensive efforts from Pat Goudie, Clay Clear and Sam Sten were notable but it wasn’t enough to keep the well-oiled Bega team from scoring. By half time the away side led 26-0.

The momentum wouldn’t change much into the second half, injuries to new recruit Ben Mooney did not help the Heelers chances. Mick Sullivan stepped up and was unlucky not to score his own try being shut down just metres shy of the line. Chis Halligan again proved tough to handle in attack but was still contained to deny points. The final score ended up a convincing win to the Roosters 44-0. Player’s player went to Pat Gaudie, 3 points went to Sam Sten, 2 points went to Chris Halligan (sponsored by Village Ford) and 1 point went to Clay Clear (sponsored by Clear Cut Electrical & Rural Services). First Grade Coming off a disappointing loss last week the Blue Heelers First Grade team were determined to prove to their devoted home town not only have they created great depth to this team over the last 18 months but also they share a great passion and dedication to the blue and gold jersey. They would take the field without notable players such as captain coach Joe Bobbin and powerhouse Malcolm Stone but this did not deter their confidence as they took on the classy Bega Roosters squad who sit a comfortable second on the leader board. By the 12th minute Bombala had showed some dominating defence and the eventual combination of Paul Perkins in at hooker, linking up with freight-train Brett Hodak was unstoppable and the home team scored under the black dot. At 6-0, it was the Bega team who took great advantage of field possession to send the ball wide quickly and land points out wide, by the 18th minute the score was 6-4. The next 20minutes would see gruelling defensive efforts from both teams, particularly Brett Hodak and brothers Andrew and Chris Anderson. Bailey Jones proved extremely safe in at fullback retrieving highballs and running them back with sheer determination. An onslaught from the Bega attack and well executed kicks meant Bombala had to defend back to back sets on their line and

eventually the Bega team penetrated, taking the score to 10-6 in their favour with just four minutes until half time. The Bombala boys however were not done yet and did not drop their heads, instead Paul Perkins capitalised on another great run from Brett Hodak, Perkins had the awareness to catch the defence napping, scooting from dummy half to plant the ball under the black dot just seconds from the half time bell sounding, the Heelers taking to the sheds at half time on top 12-10. After the break the Bombala boys started off just as they had finished and it was the brutal line running of Wame Belolevu which tore open the defence just four minutes in and he steamed through from half way to score, he then converted his try to take the score to 18-10. Wame’s Fijian counterpart Samoni Biaukula also showed he is a force to be reckoned with, muscling his way over for his own try too only four minutes later. The score was soon 24-10 and the home team was doing exactly as they set out to do. It took Bega 12minutes to capitalise on some good field possession to send their number 16, A Blacker over the try line. However Bombala did not lose momentum, the injection of Luke Platts was notable in at the halves helping direct play well and showing some solid defence. Paul Perkins again outshined the Bega defence making a strong run from dummy half beating numerous defenders to score in-front of the home crowd. Bailey Jones stole a beautiful intercept ball just metres out from Bega’s try line to run an impressive 90m to score. The score by the 70th minute was 34-16 to the home team and even the scrambling last minute efforts from the away team with two quick tries was not enough, the home team knocked off the second-placed Bega Roosters, victorious at 34-26. Players Player and 3 points was awarded to Brett Hodak (sponsored by Southern Stockyards and Fencing), 2 points were shared between Paul Perkins (sponsored by MCH Welding) and Samoni Biaukula (sponsored by Tim Stewart) and 1 point went to Luke Platts (Sponsored by Bobbins Rustic Creations). The Bombala & District RLFC would again like to thank all of those who braved the conditions to show your support for the club, and then for coming back to celebrate the win at the Bombala RSL where the club saw a huge success in the auctioning of the Heritage jerseys raising over $8000. The continued support from this little community continues to amaze. Please we welcome you all to head on up to Cooma to support your home team again next weekend for round 12, in what will be a fantastic day of football as Cooma hold their local Heritage round this Saturday.

Stallions 64-6 victory

First grade The Cooma Stallions first grade team have cemented their top 3 spot after a dominant 64-6 win over Bateman’s Bay last weekend. The Stallions have been working on a new structure to play to their strengths and it came off with the home side putting together their best game of the season. The Stallions opened up the scoring early with a try to winger Dean Blyton in the fifth minute. They quickly extended their lead when Matty Salvestro found the line twice in the space of two minutes. Both tries were successfully converted by Astin Nunan who scored a first half double himself to see Cooma go in to half time leading 40-0. During half time captain coach Todd Williams commended the players on their effort and warned them not to slip off or get complacent. The Stallions lost Salvestro and new recruit Karlos Filiga and when Nunan was sidelined they were down to just one reserve on the bench. Points slowed up for the Stallions in the second half and the defence slipped off briefly to allow Bateman’s Bay in for their only try of the match. This gave the Stallions a new renewed energy and they regained composure and took back control of the game. James Boller was a stand out and Richie Bensley returned to form playing well in attack and defence. This weekend the Stallions will take on Bombala at the Cooma Showground. Bombala are also coming off a win against Bega meaning both sides will have a lot of confidence going. Cooma will be eager to make up for their first round loss to Bombala and are eagerly anticipated this encounter which is expected to be played

dominantly in the forwards. 1 point on the weekend went to Jason Reid and Adam Walters, 2 went to James Boller Corey Thomas took out the 3 points for his outstanding performance. Players player was shared by James and Andrew Boller. Reserve grade

The Cooma Stallions reserve grade took on Batemans Bay at home on Sunday knowing they were in need of another win to keep their finals hopes alive. Although not punctual Bateman Bay were enthusiastic from the get go. Cooma had a strong side on the paddock and after a scrappy start crashed over after building early pressure. The Bay replied well off the back of strong running forwards and good ball movement. It was anyone’s game at half time. Cooma spoke of more discipline and adding energy in the second half and led by lock Jesse Jackson the team rallied well to end up 3822 victors. Players player with 2 tries went to Jesse Jackson Other strong performers were Jason Millikin, Jesse Piekar, James Salvestro and Andrew Crimmins. A strong team attitude is starting to shine in the reserve grade squad with the boys really enjoying their footy and the challenge of making the finals. Fillies The FIllies showed a much improved effort going down 26-4 to Batemans Bay with the highlight being a runaway try to Keyara Marshall.

Old boys spur Red Devils on to victory

Last Saturday the Cooma Rugby Club celebrated its annual Old Boys Day at Rotary Oval. More than 120 Old Boys attended a function at the Alpine Hotel before joining a large crowd at the ground for the senior matches against Hall. With the boisterous and witty support of the Old Boys both teams achieved spectacular victories. SECOND GRADE For the first time this season the seconds were able to run out a near full strength team and completely dominated the game running out 40-nil winners . Phil Johnson, demoted to second grade for a cross code indiscretion, starred with a tally of 20 points from 2 tries and 5 goals from 6 attempts. Adam Schubert also scored 2 tries and Ben Scott and Andrew Stewart scored one each. The game started well for the Red Devils with Adam Schubert ripping through the Hall defence to score under the posts after 7 minutes. Johnson added the extras and Cooma lead 7-0. Five minutes later Schubert was able to capitalise on good field position to score his second try. Johnson converted to give Cooma a 14-0 lead. The Red Devils were playing confident, disciplined football and Johnson was terrorising t h e defence. He was rewarded with h i s first try after 20 minutes of play. T h e successful conversion put the Red Devils ahead 21-0. The return from injury of Jake McIlvenny made a huge difference as he played a classic loose forward’s game with clever runs and solid defence. However the lack of match

fitness told and McIlvenny was replaced late in the first half by Azzam Hudson who had already played a full game in the Under-18s. Hudson was in the action almost immediately when fullback Aaron Stewart retrieved a Hall kick just outside his 22 metre line. Quickly sizing up the situation he ran towards the left side of the field and linked up with Johnson who drew his opponent and passed to Hudson. Now with a 2 on 1 overlap Hudson showed great maturity as he drew the last defender before giving a perfect pass to Ben Scott who raced 30 metres to score out wide. Once again Johnson kicked the conversion and Cooma went to half time leading 28-0. Hall came out in the second half with more determination and the momentum seemed to swing their way. But the Red Devils remained resolute. Tireless defence from Jackson Reed, James Moore, Ryan Pritchard and Nick Finlay repelled Hall’s raids and pushed back. Fly half Adam Schofield and scrum half Matt Kelley were able to kick the Red Devils out of their danger zone. Momentum now swung back to Cooma and Adam Schubert broke the line again and headed for the try line and his hat trick. But with a real sense of occasion, he turned away from the posts and ran towards the right side corner where he linked up with 43 year old Andrew Stewart and sent him over for a try. Johnson’s conversion attempt was unsuccessful and Cooma now led 33-0. The final try was a display of individual skill and strength as Phil Johnson ran 60 metres and broke through five tackles to score the final try of the match to wild cheers from the Cooma crowd. Phil Johnson deservedly received 3 points for his performance. Adam Schubert received 2 points and Matt Kelley 1 point. Nick Finlay was the Players’ Player. FIRST GRADE Hall sits at the top of the table and had only suffered one defeat so far this season. Hall defeated Cooma twice already this year and they were probably expecting a clean sweep. A corridor of junior players, second graders, supporters and Old Boys cheered the team on from the dressing shed to the field and unlike the past few games the Red Devils came out full of fire. The tone of the match was set in the early exchanges with Cooma’s forwards throwing themselves into every ruck. With ball in hand, Grigor Wallace, Leighton Bates and Edwin Ingram were devastating. Chris de Rooy, James Strange, Tom Moxon and Ben Rolfe seemed to form a red wall that Hall could not break. Hall was on the back foot and Pat Egan once again found the try line for Cooma’s first try. Ryan Morgan converted the try and Cooma led 7-0. But Hall is

no push over and their forwards were able to get into good field position. An unconverted try to Hall narrowed the Red Devils’ lead to 7-5. The match was full of aggression from both sides and James Ewart was sent the sin bin along with a Hall second rower for striking. From the ensuing penalty Ryan Morgan kicked a goal to make the score 10-5 at the break. The second half started well for the Red Devils when Morgan was able to kick another penalty goal and extend Cooma’s lead to 13-5. Hall showed why they are the competition leaders running in three tries to take a 24-13 lead with eight minutes to play. Spurred on by the home crowd the Red Devils lifted their intensity and threw everything they had at Hall. With Cooma now camped in Hall’s half it was essential for the Red Devils to remain composed. With three minutes left to play Chris de Rooy crashed his way over to score a try that gave Cooma a remote chance of victory. Ryan Morgan wasted no time with his conversion and calmly piloted the ball between the posts to put Cooma 4 points behind, 24-20. With only two and a half minutes remaining time was now Cooma’s enemy . Urged on by the crowd Cooma seemed to lift again and a raid on Hall’s try line was foiled when Morgan was brought down in a last gasp tackle. Cooma charged into the ruck and with clean ball fly half Matt Crowley led an attack to the left. Time was up but Cooma was still in possession. Mistake free phase play was necessary to give Cooma a chance of victory. As the forwards drove into the rucks Crowley called for the ball on the right. In a moment that those present will not forget Eddie Thomas ran a decoy for Crowley who sent a perfect pass to outside centre Jack Downie. With a magic right foot step Downie was through the defence and racing to the try line to win the game. As Downie planted the ball down to give Cooma a 25-24 lead the roar from the crowd would have been heard in Jindabyne. Ryan Morgan kicked the conversion and Cooma won 27-24. With the Old Boys and players arm in arm the team song was belted out with pride. Simply put this was a great day for the Cooma Rugby Club. Pat Egan received 3 points, Jack Downie 2 points and Ryan Morgan 1 point. The hard working and courageous Eddie Thomas was Players’ Player. GRAHAM DOBBIE AWARD This award is named for the late Graham Dobbie, a Life Member of the Club, who passed away some 18 months ago. It was first awarded last year to Pat Egan. A panel of 6 Old Boys chooses the recipient and this year the award was won by Second Grade captain Adam Schubert. Thanks to Marcus Caldwell and his team for organising the Old Boys Day, to our major sponsor the Alpine Hotel, to the Old Boys and the community for their support of this important part in the life of the Cooma Rugby Union Football Club.

Tigers lose 2-1 to Olympic Lady Tigers in 2-all draw

Cooma Tigers FC had a very physical game against Canberra Olympic at Nijong on Sunday. The second-placed Olympic defeated the Tigers 2-1.

The Cooma Lady Tigers had a 2 all draw on Sunday against UC Pumas. The team knew that after their loss last weekend they really needed to step up their game and show their opponents and their coach what they are really made of. Unfortunately on the day Cooma could only field a team of 10 leaving them a man down for the entire game. With players out of position the Ladies weren’t going to let that get them down. The first half proved to be very equal with the score at half time being nil all. Cooma’s backline consisted of Kerry Baines, Camilla McDonald and Sarah Merefield who all had outstanding games defending their goal. Goalkeeper Sam De Ruijter also had an exceptional game putting her body on the line numerous times. An inspiring half time pep talk from Coach Serdan Bircan lifted Cooma and they came out determined to win. An unfortunate goal quick in the second half by UC meant that Cooma had to put their half time chat into

action. Hymne Truter was next to score when Cooma won a corner. Alicia Rampal took it beautifully and Hymne was able to volley it straight past the keeper to equalise. Next, Alicia received an exceptional through ball from Tamara Lloyd, and not to be out done found herself, Alicia took on the keeper one on one to put Cooma ahead by 1. Cooma were unlucky not to score more with several opportunities and having most of the possession. Unfortunately UC was able to capitalise on the few opportunities they did have in front of goals to equalise the score at 2 all before the whistle blew. All the girls played with a lot of heart and should hold their heads high. Cooma still hold on to first place and now have two weeks off. They will come back on July 10 July where they will take on Tuggeranong United.

Close games in Cooma Bombala major/minor pairs bowls

Close winning scores were the order of the day for Wednesday bowls last week with three shots being the highest. Renate Winckel and Geoff Venables got off to a flyer against Mary Murphy and Mel Storta to lead 8/0 after just three ends. End 11 saw them in front 16/6 at which point Mary and Mel made their move to have the scores 18/18 with three ends to go. These went in favour of Renate and Geoff to win 21/18. Sergio Roncelli, Mary Phillips and Bob Lahy made a good start against Mary Boller, Mario Frezza and Mike Mannile and managed to stay in front until end 14 where the scores were locked up at 10/10. Sergio, Mary and Bob just got home 13/12. One shot ends were a feature of the game, Max Butler and Leonie Snell v Judy Locker and Colin Roberson. Four shots to Max and Leonie on eight gave them a handy 9/6 lead only to see Judy and Colin reply with three next end. The lead changed many times with Judy and Colin eventually winning 20/18. Two matches were played in minor singles and it is thank you to Neil McGregor and Ken Rees for acting as markers for these. Peter Harris slipped into top gear against Don Jarvis to lead 10/0 after just five ends and went on to lead 27/7 and remained on 27 whilst Don won six ends in a row that only yielded eight shots. Peter went on to win 31/16. A feature of this match was that 21 of the ends were decided by just one shot. Mick Mayhew scored four shots on the second end against Bob Douglass but his joy was short lived as Bob had a counter for every thing Mick sent his way and established an 18/6 lead by 16. That trend continued with Bob going on to win 31/12. Minor Singles continued on Saturday with five matches and these together with a match on Friday, in which Steve Seears defeated Tony Gray, but details are not available, reduces the field to eight. Peter Marsicano quickly established a 17/6 lead against Ken Rees and an early end seemed likely. Ken had other ideas and by end 27 trailed 22/25. Peter then scored six shots over four ends to win 31/22. Sergio Roncelli won the first four ends with one shot on each of them against Paul Cannell, who then won eight of the next nine ends to lead 13/7. Paul played the more consistent bowls for the remainder of the match to win

31/16. Max Butler and Mike Mannile had a real battle over the early rounds of their match,, with Mike enjoying a slender 10/8 lead after 13 ends. From that point onwards Mike played the more consistent game and went on to win 31/19. Steve Lapham was kept on five for five ends by Bob Lahy but then retaliated by keeping Bob on 10 for eight ends to gain a 21/10 lead and went on to win 31/14. Mario Frezza won the first five ends against Allan Crowe and with consistent play established a 20/9 lead on 16 and Mario must have felt very comfortable. Allan then won a series of ends to lead 24/23 and a complete turnaround was on the cards, however four shots to Mario on 30 put him back in front and went on to win 31/27. Definitely the match of the day. The minor singles continued on Sunday in cold but calm weather which was a big improvement on the previous day. Bob Douglass was right on target against Steve Seears to lead 12/3 after just six ends and by end 16 was in front 25/10. Six shots to five over the concluding ends gave him victory 31/15. Steve Lapham and Mario Frezza had an up and down battle for 20 ends with Mario holding a slender 18/17 lead on 20. Thirteen shots to nine in Mario’s favour over the next 11 ends gave him victory 31/26. Peter Marsicano won the first end with one shot against Paul Cannell who was a little slow to get going but managed to improve as the game progressed to lead 17/10 on 21. Peter then started to make his run and by end 28 levelled the score 18/18 and took the lead for the first time next end and kept it to the end in winning 31/21. This match went to 38 ends and one shot decided the end on 25 occasions. In social bowls Dale Collins and Mark Buckley were 7/7 with Sandi Litchfield and Geoff Venables when Dale and Mark dropped six shots and never fully recovered for Sandi and Geoff to win 20/18.Mike Mannile played swinging lead for Guilio D’Amico and Brian Searle and for Maureen D’Amico and Renate Winckel. Mike, Brian and Guulio were cruising at 20/11 when they dropped six shots. They just held on to win 20/18. On Sunday July 3 commencing at 11am there will be a meeting to discuss and make a decision regarding affiliation with RNSWBA. It is most important that all bowlers attend and hear what options are available. Please make a special effort to attend.

Chris X and Athol Dent took on Barry Crouch and Pat Lomas in the Major/Minor Pairs in Bombala on June 19, with Barry and Pat being the new Champions. The Major/Minor Pairs sponsored by Bombala Foodworks has new Champions. Congratulations, Barry and Pat. They defeated Athol and Chris 23-19 on Sunday, June 19. On Saturday, June 25, two teams played at the Tura Beach Carnival. A Dent, H Elliott and M Guthrie had 3L -13 earning them seventh

spot in C grade, and G Griggs, B Crouch and N Brotherton had 2W 1L +12 earning them 5\ fifth spot in A grade. Good luck to both these sides (results next week). Next week we have social bowls and our AGM at 4pm on Sunday (all bowlers welcome). - Jack

Slow start costs Southern Funds for air rifle club Cats victory The CCFC Southern Cats faced the second place Yass Roos last weekend. The first quarter saw Yass take a five-goal lead. The Cats midfield and back line players matched Yass in every way, but Yassâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pressure on our forwards saw the ball quickly return to our backline on this small oval. Lucky quick snaps late in the quarter at goal by Yass saw them take a handy lead. First quarter scores: Southern Cats 0.2-2/ Yass Roos 5.2-32 The second quarter saw the Southern Cats lifted and dominated the game. Keeping Yass to only one scoring shot for the quarter. The Cats missed opportunities in front of goal kicking 1 goal 5 behinds. Midfielders lead by Steven Bahr locked the ball in on the forward 50 for 20 mins of football. The Cats back men with the midfielders had a tough zone set up with 34 players within 50m of goal, this did make kicking goals for the Cats even tougher. The Cats lost Jordan Lopes to injury in the second quarter. Second quarter scores: Southern Cats 1.713/ Yass Roos 5.3-33 The third quarter saw the Cats continue to dominate scoring first. A disappointing moment in the game when young gun Kyle Hubertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal was reverted to being called a behind after Yass player protested to the goal umpire after he clearly called a goal. The Southern Cats over use of the ball allowed Yass to quickly move the ball out of our forward half catching our defence outof-place to score. The Yass Roos had no answers to match Steven Bahr and now young star Nick Thomas covering the ground moving the ball freeing, with Nick Griffiths dominated the pack contest. Then the loss Sean Hanily from the Cats back line was a blow to the strength of our defence. To add to this on two occasions late in the quarter one of our forwards

applied little to no pressure at the forward entry contest which allowed Yass to score two quick goals after quick rebounds right down the middle of the field, after the Cats domination of the quarter this hurt the team on the scoreboard. Third quarter scores: Southern Cats 3.927/Yass Roos 8.5-53 At the break great leadership from Troy Edwards, who asked to fill the back line hole with the loss of Sean. From a coaching position having a key midfielder step up and take responsibility for a key role speaks volumes of his leadership within the team. Once more the CCFC Southern Cats showed just how close this team is to playing its best football, forcing Yass to defend its goal line with nearly every player on the field. The Cats scored first, then Yass counted by scoring after a 50/50 call went against the Cats in front of Yass goals, this was there only goal for the quarter. The rest of the quarter was played in Cats forward 50. We continued to miss set shots in front of goal. Kicking 3 goals and 4 behinds and had another five shots at goal go out on the full. The Cats had a total of 19 shots at goal which scored, and had a total of 24 attempts at the goals to Yassâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15 scoring opportunities. The Cats were unlucky to lose by 11 points but, what the Cats did do was clearly without any doubt show they are more than capable of matching the best in the competition. Final score: Southern Cats 6.13-49/ Yass Roos 9.6-60 Best players for the Cats were: Steven Bahr, Nick Thomas, Nick Griffiths, Sam Hunter, Daniel Wicks, Daniel G Webster, Kyle Hubert The Cats will play Ainslie in Canberra this Saturday, before their next home game at Snowy Oval on July 9.

Bruno Schnitzer, Tracy Mason, Bronnie Taylor MLC, John Barilaro, Karin Schnitzer and Tanja Beckmann. The Member for Monaro John Barilaro last week announced $8,630 in NSW Government funding for upgrades at the Monaro Air Rifle Club as part of the 2015/2016 Safe Shooting Program. The club currently has 30 shooting members, ranging in age from 12 to 85. With the NSW Championships in November and the Australian Championships in January both coming to the local club, the money will go a long way towards preparing the clubhouse. Funding has been provided to upgrade the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lighting, kitchen and toilet facilities, which date back to the 1980s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main aim of this program is to increase the safety at shooting facilities in NSW as well as during club sponsored activities held away from a clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permanent base,â&#x20AC;? Mr Barilaro said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I congratulate the Monaro Air Rifle Club on their successful application and look forward to

seeing the benefits of this upgrade.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a great pleasure to assist local clubs by providing the funds to increase the availability, standard and quality of sport facilities in the Monaro.â&#x20AC;?
