Rex comes in for landing The first Regional Express (Rex) flight from Sydney landed at the Snowy Mountains Airport last Wednesday. An official launch ceremony of the service took place with Rex Deputy Chairman John Sharp, Chairman of the Snowy Mountains Airport Corporation Kevin Blyton and Member for Monaro John Barilaro.

Mr Sharp said he was very pleased to be re-establishing the connection between Rex and the Snowy Mountains, set to benefit the region.

With the Snowy Mountains becoming Rexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 58th destination across the country, it is the largest Australian regional airline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like to do our best to support small local business, which is one of the reasons why we have Snowy Mountains Cookies on all of our flights.

Made in Jindabyne, I had one myself on the flight over here,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Sharp.

Mr Barilaro said that this was an exciting time for tourism in the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rather than just the winter months, we are trying to tap into the summer market making the region an all year round destination,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the moment the ducks are all lined up. Tourism, agriculture and small business are doing well. We want to

see Rex airlines as a long term and growing service for the region.â&#x20AC;?

Kevin Blyton said to keep this service going, bums on seats are required. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is fabulous to have Rex back and to be able to get a direct flight from the Snowy Mountains to Sydney,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;To keep this service viable, we need local support. It is up to all of us, people of the Snowy Mountains to keep it going for the future.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Sharp and Mr Barilaro both flew in on the first flight along with other special passengers including Member of the Legislative Council Bronnie Taylor and Snowy Hydro CEO Paul Broad.

The welcoming party for the first of many flights into the Snowy Mountains included students from the Berridale Public School and Cooma North Public School, Snowy Mountains Airport staff, local fire fighters, local tourism industry workers and business owners, and the media.

Local radio station Snow FM was broadcasting live from the airport for the occasion.

Flights have now

commenced, with the core schedule of five return services per week commencing from Monday 28 March 2016.

Additional services on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays will operate through the ski season.

Reservations can be made on the web via www.rex.com.au, by phoning 13 17 13 or through your local travel agent. To celebrate the launch, a special promotional fare is available on the Rex website only for $99 each way (plus a booking/ services surcharge). Fares are subject to availability.

Everyone loved coming back to Cooma

Pictured: Town Crier Andrew Dawes summoned the crowds to Saturday’s street parade in Cooma.

In the first Back to Cooma celebration since 1926, the town was buzzing with activity over the Easter weekend.

There were about 500 who registered for the weekend events, that organisers are calling a great success.

The highlight was the street parade on Saturday afternoon.

The street was lined with thousands of spectators for the event with 80 entrants in the parade.

Many local groups and business went to great efforts with their floats, making it an impressive sight and a very memorable day.

Friday night’s dinner and show in Centennial Park was well attended with 400 people sitting under the coloured lights. With performances from the Rubber Band and Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen, there was dancing and merriment all evening.

There was also the Jone’s Band performing at the Cooma ExServices Club on the Friday night and on Saturday there was a night of rock n roll dancing.

On Sunday night, 300 Pictured left, the crowd starting to build on Saturday.

people attended the Gala Dinner at the Multifunction Centre.

The rumoured secret item was finally revealed, a very rare 1969 Holden Monaro on loan from Jerry and Lorna Reid.

Significant local identities were given the honour of being inducted into the newly formed Snowy Mountains-Monaro Hall of Fame.

These included Steve Liebmann, Holger Brockmann, SMEC, Snowy Hydro, Andrew Barton ‘Banjo’ Paterson’s poem ‘The Geebung Polo Club’, the Holden Monaro car, actresses Carmen and Paula Duncan and The Sundowners film.

Coming out of retirement especially for the night, there was music from the great local band The Ka Links.

Also over the weekend there were guided tours of the SMEC Fluid Mechanics Laboratory, Cooma Public School and Birdsnest.

These were well attended with many interested to see how the town has changed over the years.

There were reunions of the Cooma Ex-Services Club staff as well as the staff of the region’s ambulance service, a great opportunity for old friends to catch up.

The night time rodeo on Saturday was an action-packed event showcasing local talent under the lights at the Cooma Showground.

The Cooma Leo Club held a fun run on Saturday morning with more than 100 participants taking part in the early morning jog.

The ‘Monaro’ picture book

was launched on Good Friday, portraying some stunning photography of the Monaro and the Snowy Mountains by talented local artists. Sales of the book have been very successful so far.

To get your hands on a copy, pick one up at the Cooma Visitors Centre.

A farewell breakfast was held in Centennial Park on Monday morning with lots of ‘See you laters’ rather than goodbyes for those who have had the opportunity to rekindle old friendships.

Give your child the ultimate experience with Rotary exchange

Ally Johns has come to Cooma on the Rotary Club’s student exchange program. Ally is pictured wearing her Rotary jacket, complete with badges from all the places she has visited.

“This has been the best experience of my life.”

Ally Johns is a 17-year-old student on exchange from Connecticut in the USA. Attending Monaro High School, Ally says she has settled in well to life in the bush.

“It has been pretty different to what I expected,” she says, “When I thought of Australia, I sort of thought it would be very flat, like the outback. But here in Cooma is very different. Before I arrived, I didn’t even realise that it snowed in Australia.”

Ally says she has always wanted to come to Australia and after hearing about the Rotary Exchange program from a friend of her grandmother’s, who was hosting a Turkish exchange student, she decided to go for it.

“This exchange program has allowed me to learn so much about myself and about other cultures,” says Ally, “It has really helped me see the bigger picture and realise that once you get to know people, the stereotypes fall away and you realise that it doesn’t matter where they come from, they’re just another person.”

Ally is part of a group of about 40 exchange students from all over the world in Australia at the moment.

She says that they have already become like family to her, as have the friends she has made here in Cooma.

The Rotary Club exchange program is run every year. With applications due at the end of April, Cooma’s Rotary Club are looking local students aged 15-17 (currently in years 9-11) to take part in this

amazing program.

Ashley Constance is Rotary’s Youth Director and says it is a fantastic opportunity for the local kids.

“It is incredibly safe, with the Rotary teams in each of these countries providing a support role for the students,’ he says, “It is amazing to watch each of these young adolescents become young adults throughout their journey. There is so much that they learn from the experience.”

“Being able to attend a school in another country and immerse themselves in a completely different culture at such a young age is a fantastic opportunity.”

Countries available for the upcoming exchange include Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey and the USA. Ally says that some of the highlights so far have been travelling to Tuross Heads with all the other exchange students, seeing the Sydney harbour bridge and Opera House for the first time and living in Cooma, which she now describes as a second home.

About to set off on a three week trip from Northern Victoria through Port Augusta to Uluru and Alice Springs and then to the Barrier Reef and down the eastern coast, Ally has plenty more to discover and experience on her exchange.

The Shire was a hive of activity this Easter long weekend, with an abundance of celebrations held throughout our towns.

As the art hub of the region Jindabyne showcased local talent at the annual Easter Art Show, and Lake Light Sculpture. There were some wonderful entries in both events and what never ceases to amaze me is how some of the sculptures look so vastly different when viewed in daylight as opposed to the evening. As well the Readers and Writers Festival was held in Banjo Patterson Park.

Berridale and Adaminaby entertained locals and visitors alike at their Easter Fairs with large crowds attending.

The warm weather allowed us to get out and about in our natural environment with traffic along our shared trails at an all-time high. Together with the people water skiing in the Snowy Mountains over Easter we really are an all year round destination.

You could be mistaken for thinking it was the winter season with the volume of traffic on our local roads. We would like to thank everyone for driving to the conditions over the weekend. And remind everyone, that you don’t need to be speeding to be driving too fast on our country roads.

SSI Leadership Program at local schools

If you’re aged 50-74 you’ll be sent a free bowel cancer screening kit. The kit is simple to use and can detect bowel cancer before any symptoms appear. Around 80 Australians die of bowel cancer every week, but if detected early, up to 90% of cases can be successfully treated. So be sure to complete and return your kit. It’s a gift that could save your life. If you’re over 74 talk to your GP. By 2020 people aged 50-74 will receive a kit every two years.

Last week, 21 Cooma/Monaro region principals and teachers from eight schools participated in the Stronger Smarter Institute’s (SSI) signature Leadership Program aimed at delivering better educational outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students this week at Monaro High School.

CEO Darren Godwell said SSI is proud to celebrate the historical 100th Leadership with Cooma/Monaro region educators in the decade of operations since SSI was opened by Dr Chris Sarra in 2005 “At the end of this week SSI will have delivered Leadership Training to 2184 educators, principals, teachers and community leaders, who have the potential to impact more than 40,000 Indigenous students across Australia in 586 schools,” he said.

Arable Road – Commenced 14 March and due for completion on the 4 May, Stoney Creek Road Paupong Road Yaouk Road.

A heavy patch program on the Shires sealed roads network has been completed with improvements made to the Barry Way, Snowy River Way and Maffra Road.

Work has commenced on sealing 900m of Abington Park Road which is a fantastic result for the residents there.

This will be followed by sealing the Jindabyne Sportsground Road.

Council has an annual maintenance grading plan for Snowy River Shire’s gravel road’s network. With over 450 kilometres of gravel road and the varying weather conditions experienced across each locality, this plan is subject to frequent change.

Grading was completed in February and March on Avonside Road, Gullies Road, Matong Road, Chongs Road, Yaouk and Kingston Roads.

Grading scheduled for March and April will include: Caddigat Road, Cootralantra Road, Bushy Park Road, and Barry Way/Lower Snowy Finally, council is planning to use a combination of Capital Expenditure Funding/ Roads to Recovery / Section 94 funding to partially seal sections of Avonside Road and re-sheet some of the other problematic sections of the road. This work is likely to start in April 2016 subject to Council approval.

St Pat’s promoting ‘Strength in Gentleness’ BOMBALA COUNCIL GENERAL MANAGER: Ms Ngaire McCrindle Last week the Mayor and I attended the Canberra Region Joint Organisation of Councils meeting at the NSW Parliament House where we met with a number of Ministers to discuss priorities for the broader region including the exciting opportunities opening up for business as a result of international flights into Canberra Airport. Other matters discussed included regional economic development, strategic infrastructure, Local Land Services and grant funding.

As part of Bombala Council’s economic development activities we are supporting the RDASI and NSW Trade & Investment’s series of Retail Skills workshops that are being held over the next couple of months. The first was very successful and businesses are now advised that the next one, which will be focusing on visual merchandising, is now open for bookings. The workshop is free for businesses within the LGA and will be held at the Community Centre in Bombala from 5.30-8.30 on Monday 11 April. To book you place ring the VIC on 02 64584622. Attendees are also encouraged to take up the offer of a free visit by the presenter, Mr. Brian Ambler, on the morning of Tuesday 12 April to discuss specific ways to implement ideas and knowledge gained at the workshop.

St Patrick’s school invited their two new Kindness Ambassadors to speak with the students on Friday March 18.

In recognition of National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence, Member of the Legislative Council Bronnie Taylor and Father Mick MacAndrew were appointed the school’s Kindness Ambassadors for the next 12 months.

Over these 12 months they will write to the school informing them of any acts of kindness they see within the community.

Principal Frances Robertson said she felt it was important to promote to the children the kindness in our community.

“Kindness is the glue that holds our community together,” she said, “It is important that the students are aware of how much good is being done in our local area by our local people.”

In conjunction with a four week antibullying program, staff decided to take a more positive approach by having a Day of Kindness.

By promoting a proactive attitude to the children, the teachers hope to teach the children to be kind to everyone around them.

On their Day of Kindness, Father Mick addressed the Kindergarten to Year 4 students while Mrs Taylor gave talks to the rest of the school.

Afterwards they took part in activities including creating greeting cards to

Travel Tips- San Francisco

EVERY TRAVEL NEED COVERED

San Francisco is my favourite city in the world. It was the first city I had ever visited internationally and it was where the travel bug bit me for real. I was very concerned about visiting it again, afraid that the spell would be broken and I would realise that my wonderful memories of the place were tinted by rose coloured glasses. I shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have worried, even after another visit, San Francisco is still number 1 on my list.

Here are a few tips and must see places for my favourite city in the world.

1. Get a City Pass! From $145AUD/Adult, this booklet gives you unlimited 7 day access to the Cable cars and Muni.

Buses, entry into the California Academy of Sciences, A cruise around the bay with Blue & Gold Fleet, entry into EITHER Aquarium by the bay OR Monterey Bay Aquarium and EITHER the Exploratorium OR the de Young Museum.

It also includes all sorts of discounts and offers for other attractions. It is well worth it, when 1 cable car ride costs about $7AUD ($5USD) the transport cost for 7 days alone can be more than the pass!

that can be seen from a lot of the city, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss it!

2. See the Golden Gate Bridge from a different view. With a city pass you can take a cruise around the bay, but how about a sunset catamaran cruise under the bridge with wine? Or a bike ride around the well maintained bike paths of the bay? You can even ride across the bridge if you wish. The bridge itself is a stunning, practical monument

4. Expand your mind.

A visit to one or more of the wonderful museums is one of my favourite things to do.

The California Academy of Sciences is stunning, set within the Golden Gate Park. The park is an attraction in itself, encompassing other museums and the botanical gardens.

3. Visit Alcatraz. This famous high security prison on its own island in the bay is now a very popular tourist attraction. I recommend the audio tour, which gives fascinating insights into the history of the island and the people who worked and were incarcerated there. The ferry to the island has multiple trips every day from Fishermans Wharf, but I would recommend pre booking as spots sell out. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget a coat as even if it is a warm day in the city, it can be very cool in the bay.

the

postman calls

PHEW! That was one big, big Easter in the region.

It’s only been 20 or so years since the last one, but Saturday’s street parade in Cooma proved how popular these onceregular events are.

Planned with military precision, the parade was a real winner, with thousands of onlookers enjoying the spectacle.

And how happy were the participants?

Although The Postman feels those doctors and nurses were having just too much of a good time on the hospital float. But it was good to see “bones” make a reappearance on another float after all those years.

So hats off to the organisers, the participants and the spectators who made the occasion so special.

If there was a stand-out for The Postman, that might be piper Cath saluting the Cooma Car Club’s entries with a rendition of ‘Highway to Hell’ on the bagpipes. A classic!

Oh, and congratulations to all the organisers of the many other Easter events from Bombala to Thredbo and places in between. Well done all.

Riposte Lisa Ashurst You know those creepy movies where one of the characters inevitably goes into a place where common sense says they shouldn’t? Armed with nothing but a small torch (because those places are always dark) they make their way towards the sound or whatever while you are shrieking at them from behind the lounge cushions Not to Go There! We always think there is no way we would do something so dumb…and then one night we actually do.

At least I did anyway. Woken in the wee small hours by a shrill bansheelike screech that I knew had not come from me or from Resident Puss (by the way, where was she?) I found myself getting up and reaching for the small torch I keep beside the bed. (What are you doing?) ventured the inner voice.

It was a good question because it sounded like it could have come from inside the house and then I heard it again. Right, it’s definitely inside!

Sliding into my slippers, I switched on the torch and began a tiptoe towards the stairs. (Hey!) yelled the inner voice.

(Remember those idiots in the scream flicks?) Oh right, I was just about to do that very thing I said I would never be dumb enough to do. (No kidding!

Ditch the torch, hon, and turn on the freaking lights!)

Right. Bedroom light. Breathe.

Descend stairs cautiously. Breathe.

Lounge room light. Gasp! Find Resident Puss sitting poised for either fight or flight with eyes the size of saucers and fixed on something

blocked from my vision by the dining table. It wasn’t looking good. Then Puss slunk low to the floor and made a tentative approach to…whatever it was…which shrieked again, sending her into a backflip and hightailing it over to where I stood, rigid with apprehension. But the problem was I simply had to check it out. (Or you can grab the cat, turn tail and bolt back upstairs) Yeah right, and then it comes up after me! (There’s always the windows…) Are you crazy??! (Just trying to be helpful.) Well you’re not, so just shut up!

So I inched carefully, breath suspended, towards the next light switch and prepared myself for what I might find and there it was. On the floor. Oh for goodness sake, it was a frog! (Well, who’da thunk it?) sniggered the inner voice. Well you’re the one who was conjuring up all manner of terrible things! (Hello! Like, I’m your inner voice! So the monster thingies were really all your idea!) Hey, I was the one who was happy enough to come down here with just a torch, remember?!

Anyway, awash with blessed relief, I gathered up the intruder and put it outside in the garden and fortunately it didn’t screech at me like it had at Puss every time she’d prodded it with her paw. But what a noise! I had no idea frogs were capable of screeching like that, but I know now. Which means that should it ever happen again the torch will suffice and there will be no need for smart mouth inner voices to be putting the fear of God into me!

(Hmpf!)

Unless it’s a different strange noise…

Clean, green, efficient heating available on the Monaro

Pictured from left, stacks of pellets, part of the processing plant, the pile of kiln-dried sawdust and a heater in action.

As the Monaro approaches its typically cold winter months, heating options are occupying residents’ minds.

This year, in Cooma, there is a clean, green and very efficient alternative to the traditional wood fire.

Pellet heaters are very popular in Europe because of those clean, green qualities.

Now, in Cooma, Pellet Experts Pty Ltd, based at Polo Flat, is producing high quality pellets from sawdust sourced from Donghwa timber mill at Bombala.

The raw material is from the kilndried stock, so it is clean and easily combustible.

The pellets are manufactured at the premises in Polo Flat and are packaged into 15kg plastic bags.

The manufacturing process produces no waste while using a

quality waste product from Bombala.

In addition to making the pellets, Pellet Experts are also wholesaling pellet heaters to the retail market.

Three partners who have heating and innovation experience, are behind this new business.

While they had access to the pellet heaters, they found sourcing quality pellets was expensive and the pellets were not readily available. The solution? Make the pellets locally.

So now with both components available, Pellet Experts are in a position to promote a clean environmental friendly heating solution.

Pellet Heaters run on wood pellets – they are programmable so they can switch on and off on a timer and their heating capacity can also be adjusted.

They do require electricity to operate the fans and igniter.

The heaters need to be flued – and that can be as simple as a flue through a wall to the outside.

The heaters are free-standing and need a hard surface – but that needs only to be as large as the base of the heater.

The wood pellets are clean and can be easily stored inside. Conveniently, they remove the need for laborious wood chopping and stacking.

The waste produced from burning the pellets is minimal and can be used in the garden. Cleaning the heaters is simple too – with so little waste produced, the interior can just be vacuumed once the waste tray is removed.

The heaters have a high efficiency rating and produce very little emission.

Schute Bell wool report

Easter Show grounds last week and large crowds gathered in the sheep and wool pavilion to watch the rather unique exchange of ownership system of a wool auction.

4,000 fewer than expected bales ended up on the market with gains recorded over both selling days.

The bulk of the gains centered on the mid micron Merino Fleece types with selected Crossbred types the only sector that lost some ground. 40,809 bales were sold nationally for the week with 6.2% of the offering passed in.

Major buyers included PJ Morris, Techwool and Chinatex with a good spread of buyer interest across the board.

Forward markets also responded to the positive physical this week with 21 micron contracts for May/June changing hands at this week’s physical close.

Hazard reduction burns set for NPWS

We now enter a brief one week recess. Early estimates for the first sale back post Easter indicate a national offering of around 54,000 bales.

The sale in the northern region will once again take place on the road.

This time in Sydney’s CBD in conjunction with the IWTO conference.

This week’s sales 54,225 bales are expected to be on offer when sales resume in a fortnight.

The Southern Ranges Region of the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service is about to commence its annual hazard reduction burning program including 27 burns, treating around 32,000 hectares.

Regional Manager Mick Pettitt said burning is planned for areas of strategic importance, to help provide protection of the community and environment from the impact of possible fires in summer.

“Burns scheduled for this season as part of the region’s three year hazard reduction program include Kosciuszko and Brindabella National Parks, Yaouk, Bimberi, Tinderry, Wereboldera, Bogandyera, Paupong Nature Reserves and Yanununbeyan State Conservation Area.

“Planning for the annual burning program involves working with other agencies including the NSW Rural Fire Service, Forest Corp and parks and reserve neighbours.

“A considerable amount of work goes into both the planning and site preparation for these burns and our crews have been in the field preparing areas for burning for much of the past eight months.

“Good preparation means improved safety and effectiveness.

“NPWS undertakes burning in Southern Ranges during the early autumn months due to

the seasonal conditions, which enable safer, low intensity burning, compared to other times of the year.

“Typical weather during autumn involves cooler temperatures and more stable atmosphere, with less risk of strong winds and storms.

“This may mean that smoke generated from fuel reduction burning does persist for longer and we ask for the community’s patience while we get this important work done.

“The change in the season can be very fast and it is not unusual for our crews to go from fighting fires one week to starting to put burns in the next.

“We take every opportunity to get burns done while the window of opportunity is open. In some years, the window closes quickly when wet weather and cool conditions set in, particularly for sites at higher elevations,” Mr Pettitt said.

Hazard reduction burns are listed online at: www.rfs.nsw.gov. au. Members of the public are also welcome to contact their local NPWS Office for further information.

These burns are part of the NSW Government’s $76 million package over six years to boost bushfire preparedness and double hazard reduction in the State’s national parks, where conditions allow.

AgForce president knows too well the danger of quad bikes When Grant Maudsley looked in his ute’s rear vision mirror and couldn’t see his son riding behind him, he knew instinctively something was wrong.

Back tracking along the fence line of his western Queensland cattle property he came across a parent’s nightmare: his nine-yearold son in a quad bike accident.

The bloody scene that confronted him changed his family’s life forever, along with their onproperty safety practices and made the current AgForce president a strong advocate for ‘age appropriate riders on quad bikes’.

“We were very fortunate our son survived; he’d been in first gear checking out some cattle, momentarily lost concentration and had ridden the quad bike through a four strand barb-wire fence,” Mr Maudsley explained.

“The wire had nicked his jugular and there were deep cuts across

his face and neck, and in the few minutes it took to realise and then find him, there was blood everywhere.

“I just put him in the ute and started driving the 50km to town, while my wife held the wound on his neck closed to stop the bleeding. He was conscious, but it was the longest, most stressful drive ever.”

The youngster is one of a growing number of children injured in quad bike accidents on-farm every year.

Figures from the Australian Centre for Agriculture Health and Safety (ACAHS) show quad bikes are the leading cause of accidental death onfarm, and 16 per cent of the 161 fatalities between 2000 and 2014 were children.

A similar percentage of non-fatal quad bike accidents requiring hospitalisation or medical treatment in 2014 involved a child under 16.

“We still think about

our son’s accident and we know we’re really lucky he’s alive, but it’s made us keenly aware quad bikes aren’t designed for kids,” Mr Maudsley said.

“We changed our onproperty rules straight away so there were no kids on quads.”

He is speaking out now to encourage others in agriculture to take precautions when it comes to age appropriate riders on quad bikes.

Back on that fateful day, Mr Maudsley’s son was airlifted by the Royal Flying Doctors Service to Brisbane, where he says surgeons ‘stopped counting the number of stitches’.

While the scars have healed and his son has ‘completely recovered’ from the accident, Mr Maudsley says he’s still banned from riding quad bikes on the family’s cattle property, Nalpa Downs, outside Mitchell in western Queensland.

“Quads are a valuable part of on-property

machinery, but we just don’t believe kids have the concentration span needed to be safe on them.

“If you make a mistake or lose concentration on a two-wheel motorbike you fall off, or if you’re in a side-by-side vehicle there is more roll over protection, but quad bikes aren’t as forgiving: if you make a mistake it could kill you.”

The Primary Industries Health and Safety Partnership (PIHSP) aims to raise awareness of workplace health and safety issues to improve the health and safety of workers and their families in farming and

fishing industries across Australia.

It is funded by the Cotton, Grains and Rural Industries Research and Development Corporations, as well

as the Australian Meat Processor Corporation and Meat & Livestock Australia.

For more information, visit www. rirdc.gov.au/PIHSP.

Pictured: Current Agforce president, Grant Maudsley, is a strong advocate for age appropriate riders on quad bikes.

‘Australian Farmers’ agreed to as the way forward for agricultural representation ‘Australian Farmers’ has been declared the future name of a streamlined and unified body to represent the nation’s agriculture industry at a meeting of the National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) Members’ Council in Canberra this week.

The name was passed unanimously and will come into effect upon the finalisation of a model for a new representative entity, as part of the Project Streamline and Strengthen (PSS). Members’ Council consists of representatives of all NFF members, including State Farming Organisations, Commodity Councils and Associate Members, and meets three times each year.

NFF President, Brent Finlay, said settlement upon the name was a significant milestone in the development of a unified organisation for the agricultural sector and laid further foundations for a more efficient and powerful lobbying force.

“Project Streamline and Strengthen has been a work in progress since the NFF embarked upon a journey to critically look at the characteristics of the world’s strongest and most successful representative bodies, through the independent Newgate Report, and to implement these within our own organisation to revitalise the way we do business,” Mr Finlay said.

“This was never going to be a simple or quick process given the complexities surrounding the integration of a number of organisations across jurisdictions and commodities.

“However, the unanimous decision to name the future entity ‘Australian Farmers’, and the commencement of work on a constitution for that organisation, shows the significant progress which has been made, particularly over the last 12 months, towards creating a formidable force in Australian

advocacy and positioning agriculture as a national priority.

“The strength of this organisation will be further underpinned by the NFF’s online platform, the first of its kind in Australia and due for launch mid this year, which will provide a single source of valuable industry and weather information and food and agribusiness news as well as the ability for farmers’ voices to be magnified through online campaigns and polling.”

Mr Finlay said agreement on the ‘Australian Farmers’ name and discussion surrounding industry unification was only one element of a highly successful two days of talks in Canberra.

“Across the Members’ Council meeting key policy issues were robustly discussed and the agenda set for the upcoming Federal Election,” Mr Finlay said.

“The Member’s Council is a critical meeting to ensure the NFF’s advocacy efforts are clearly focused on the policies required for agriculture to meet its potential as our global market opportunities soar and to making sure Government recognises the value of the sector to the broader economy.

“Just this week the Australian Bureau of Statistics has reported the value of agricultural production in Australia was up some 5.4 per cent to $54 billion in 2014-15, despite tough seasonal conditions, and this is a clear reflection of the strength and importance of our industry.

“To match this growth and to ensure agriculture remains front of mind for our decision makers a strong and cohesive advocacy body is required.

‘Never before have we been so well positioned to represent Australian farmers and the agricultural supply chain with this strength only to grow as we head towards a new and dynamic organisation.”

These can be updated at any time and every condition report or new tenancy can be uploaded and kept for future reference.

Green all the way Heather Anoleck Dip FMBM

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

Autumn is here!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How would you like to have no more electricity bills and no water bills?

This beautifully presented home has that, plus views to the Snowy River and Main Range that will take your breath away.

The home was constructed in 2008 out of Timbercrete Blocks.

this, combined with full insulation through the coldest days in winter or the most stifling summer days, keep the home at a comfortable level.

Let’s talk about the layout.

Bedrooms two and three are large approximately 12m2 in size, the kitchen has a walk in pantry, timber bench tops and a gas commercial oven. Further features include a formal dining room and large loungeroom with fireplace.

A lovely feature is the main bedroom it is over 19m2 in size and also has a large ensuite and a walk in wardrobe that would be the envy of every lady.

The exterior additions include a double garage and extra

Economy-wide spending flat in Feb: Commonwealth Bank BSI the BSI fell by 1.7 per cent in February, after rising by 1.1 per cent the previous two months, while annual seasonally adjusted growth also fell from 7.4 per cent to 5.0 per cent.

¡ According to the Commonwealth Bank Business Sales Indicator economy-wide spending was flat in February ¡ The February result matches the result in January and shows a slowdown in spending since September 2015 ¡ All states and territories posted sales above a year ago

Industry analysis Spending growth slowed in most sectors in February, with the exception of clothing stores which lifted 0.3 per cent after falling the previous two months.

Of the sectors experiencing gains, notable was government services, up 1.9 per cent, the sixth consecutive month of growth. Sales at automobile and vehicle rentals rose for the 14th straight month, up by 0.6 per cent.

At the other end of the scale, seven of the 19 industry sectors fell in trend terms in February: airlines, automobiles and vehicles, amusement and entertainment, business services, mail order/ telephone order providers, retail stores and transportation.

Monday, 21 March 2016: Economy-wide spending in February remained unchanged from the previous month, indicating a clear slowdown in spending according to the latest Commonwealth Bank Business Sales Indicator (BSI).

Spending was flat in trend terms in February (0.0 per cent growth), matching the result from January.

This shows a progressive slowing in growth since September 2015 when spending grew by 0.6 per cent, followed by growth of 0.5 per cent in October, 0.3 per cent in November and 0.1 per cent in December.

However, while annual growth of spending also eased from 6.3 per cent to 5.6 per cent in February, this current annualised result remains well above the decade-average of 4.8 per cent growth. Six of the eight states and territories had slight increases in monthly sales, however the national score was weighed down by two states (Victoria and Queensland).

Craig James, Chief Economist, CommSec, said that the result represents a softening of the strong spending growth for much of 2015. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spending has been largely flat so far in 2016, indicating a bit of a pullback in growth from previous months. This softening of spending growth may be due in part to some concerns around the volatility in global financial markets since the beginning of the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, consumer confidence remains high and interest rates remain at record lows indicating an increase in spending may not be too far away,â&#x20AC;? Mr James said.

The more volatile seasonally adjusted measure of

State-by-state analysis Sales rose in six of the eight states and territories in February, with ACT posting the strongest growth (up 1.2 per cent), followed by the Northern Territory (up 1.0 per cent), NSW (up 0.7 per cent), Tasmania and Western Australia (both up 0.2 per cent) and South Australia (up 0.1 per cent). Sales fell in Victoria (down 1.1 per cent) and Queensland (down 0.02 per cent).

In annual terms, every state and territory posted sales above a year ago. Strongest growth was in ACT (up 11.4 per cent) from Tasmania (up 11.3 per cent), Western Australia (up 9.1 per cent), NSW (up 7.2 per cent), Northern Territory (up 6.4 per cent), South Australia (up 6.1 per cent), Queensland (up 5.7 per cent) and Victoria (up 2.3 per cent).

The BSI is a key measure of economy-wide spending, tracking the value of credit and debit card transactions processed through Commonwealth Bank point-of-sale terminals.

Bibbenluke carnival Junior rugby league teams will come from all across the south coast, Monaro and even Canberra to compete in the Bibbenluke Carnival near Bombala this coming Saturday, April 2.

In its 51st year, the carnival will once again see the Bombala Blue Heelers Junior Rugby League Club welcoming fellow players from Group 16 and the ACT to the Bibbenluke sportsground.

This means that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be hours of footy action to enjoy, with everyone encouraged to come along and cheer

on our young players from kick off at 9am.

Naturally thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be lots of refreshments to keep the cheering crowd happy, with the Junior Blue Heelers Committee running a canteen, while a barbecue will also be available, and even the Dalmeny ice-cream van will be on hand!

Its just $5 entry for a big day of junior footy fun, so make sure you get yourself to Bibbenluke this coming Saturday for the much loved Bibbenluke Carnival.

Fish released into the Numeralla River The Numeralla Fishing Club has recently organised the release of more fish into the Numeralla River. The release of pan-sized rainbow trout was undertaken by Gaden Trout Hatchery of Jindabyne and supported by the Monaro Acclimatization Society.

This follows the 1,000 rainbow trout fingerlings released early this month for the benefit of local recreational anglers.

Over the past seven years the Numeralla Fishing Club has released tens of thousands of Murray Cod and Golden Perch into the river system up and down stream of the

village of Numeralla.

This is in conjunction with their annual Mud Marlin Competition which commences on April 9 and runs until April 16.

Daily weigh-ins will occur between 5 and 6 pm at the Numeralla tennis courts throughout the course of the competition.

Great prizes can be won in all categories and everyone is welcome. Gold coin donation for entry. For more information please call Brett Jones on 0427 419 177 or Roger Roach on 0437 451 791.

Cooma motorcyclists help raise $10,000 for Steven Walter Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cancer Foundation (SWCCF). Rally organiser Kathy Manthey together with her husband Andrew, Tony and Cathy Gray, Leah Baker, Andrew and Beth Cole, Michael Fairbairn and former Cooma residents Craig and Jo Moxon recently held a four day motorcycle tour of the Snowy Mountains, the south coast and the Victorian Alps.

The 24 motorcyclists and pillions were from NSW and Victoria and enjoyed a spectacular ride through the region discovering many new roads.

The event has raised $10,000 for the SWCCF. Sue Walter, AM of the Foundation thanked the participants â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to say a huge thank you to Kathy and her team for taking the time to organise the 2016 March Alpine Tour and especially to you for

participating and most importantly helping to raise a fabulous $10,000 towards our â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Meet the Challengeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; campaign.

As you know Steven Walter Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cancer Foundation (SWCCF) raises money for childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cancer research so that one day all children diagnosed with cancer will have the opportunity of living a long happy and healthy life. On behalf of all children with cancer, including gorgeous Eve, I thank you for your support, it is really appreciated.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The event has now been run for four years and looks like it will continue into the future.â&#x20AC;? Kathy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have such a fantastic region to ride in it is a pleasure to be able to show it to others and if it provides an opportunity to raise money to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Meet the Challengeâ&#x20AC;? that is all the better.

District womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bowls March 22 saw the final of the Ladies District Triples which was held in Cooma.

The two teams to contest the final were both from the Adaminaby club and consisted of Lana Theobold, Carol

McMahon and Luba Waters playing against Glenda Daal, Aylene Madden and Lyn McMahon.

The game was closely contested from start to finish with the lead changing several times.

All the players put in excellent bowls throughout the game.

Lubaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team was holding the two needed shots on the last end when Lyn played a superb draw bowl to give her team a winning margin of two shots.

Congratulations to Glenda, Aylene and Lyn on becoming 2016 district champions.

The quarter finals of the Triples Plate was played in the morning with Helen Drayton, Rae Blyton and Bridget Corby (Nimmitabel) playing against Mary Phillips, Dot Jackson and Mary Obermaier (Cooma). The Cooma team was successful and progressed to the semi final.

The other teams had a bye and progressed to the semi finals.

Two semi finals were played in the afternoon with Barbara Johnson, Sharni Ferguson and Leah Morgan (Jindabyne) up against Una Roberson, Evelyn Hamilton and Hazel Walker (Cooma).

Leahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team played consistent bowls throughout the game to come out winning the game and progress to the finals.

The second game was played with Mary Phillips, Dot Jackson and Mary Obermaier (Cooma) and Maureen Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Amico, Leonie Snell and Margherita Zasso (Cooma). Mary Obermaierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team was in top form and came out the winners. They will progress to play in the plate final against Leah Morganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jindabyne team. The final of the District Triples Plate will be played at Jindabyne.

Bombala sports upgrade Delegate’s annual duck race At the start of last year’s footy season, the Bombala and District Rugby League Football Club Inc. applied for a NSW Footy Facilities Fund grant to upgrade the toilet and change room facilities at the Bombala Showground.

The grant program is administered

by Sport and Recreation, a division of the Office of Sport, and the National Rugby League.

In March 2015, the Club was successful in securing a grant of $75,000, with the Bombala Council agreeing to match the grant funding, giving a total of $150,000 to complete the upgrade. Work started earlier this year and is very close to completion.

The Bombala and District RLFC would like to acknowledge and thank the following people who have assisted in this much needed upgrade of facilities, without them this project would have not been possible Peter Caldwell, of Caldwell Building and Contracting, has offered invaluable advice on design and continuous support and hours above and beyond his contract.

He has had fantastic support from local contractors, who have put in time and resources above expectations; John and Francis Ratcliffe; Warren and Wendy Hampshire Plumbing; Ray and Faye Turnbull; Russell Carey and Helen Stevenson.

Donations of materials have also been received from Steeline Pambula, Diane and Dawson Stewart (DF & D Stewart Pty Ltd) and Elsie and Rudi Wertenbach (Bi-Rite).

Special mention also to the Bombala Junior Rugby League Club and the Management Committee of the

Wednesday March 30, 2016

Exhibition Ground for their generous donations.

The assistance of local community groups and individual volunteers has also been fantastic, ensuring the successful completion of the project.

The upgrade to these facilities is of major benefit to not only the BDRLFC but many local community groups including the Show Society, Anzac Sports Committee, Australia Day Celebrations, Netball, Bike Show, Pony Club and Junior Rugby League to name a few.

The Club is excited to announce that the official opening of the toilet and change room facilities upgrade will be on Sunday, April 3. This is a big day for the BDRLFC, which will be hosting their first game of the season against the Batemans Bay Tigers.

The Club will be fielding three teams including Ladies League-Tag, Reserve Grade and First Grade.

The Ladies League-Tag will kick off the day at 11.30am, with the official opening at the completion of the game at 1pm.

This will be followed by the Reserve Grade, with the First Grade side finishing off a great day of footy.

The Club would like to acknowledge its major sponsor the Bombala RSL Club who has offered their generous support again for 2016.

The opening will give the Club the opportunity to acknowledge all the hard work and generous donation of time and resources from the Bombala community to complete this project. The Club would like to extend a warm welcome to members of the local community and surrounds to join us on this special occasion!

It wouldn’t be Good Friday in the Bombala district without the Delegate Duck Race!

A cheerful band of local families and a number of visitors gathered in the Bill Jeffreys Park on Friday for an afternoon of Easter fun that included some tasty refreshments and plenty of activities.

The ultra-popular Kids Boat Race was taken out by a female duo this year, with Zian Theuma’s boat floating to the finish A big crowd gathered to watch both the Kids Boat Race with her very capable and the Duck Races.

Barbie doll at the helm.

Of course the Duck Emily Davies, who was camping in Delegate for the Race itself is the big feature of the day, and there weekend, picked up the second. Their victorious were so many takers for ducks this year that there ducks bagged them, and the runners up, some had to be two races run! great cash prizes!

This saw the starters once again brave the icy The day proved a very happy success as it raised Delegate River to release the flocks, with the first funds for the Delegate School P&C, with thanks race being won by Bonang’s Simone Kelly, while going to all of those who showed their support.

DAMIEN POINTS: 7 It is with great anticipation that the Bombala and District Rugby League Football club host their first game of the 2016 Group 16 competition on Sunday the 3rd April against Batemans Bay. Following on from the success of re-forming the club last year, recruitment in the offseason has been in full swing with more and more people putting their hand up to wear the blue and gold jumpers. It is a credit to the BDRLFC’s committee and the tireless efforts they put in, and continue to put in, to make the club a success. It is with great pleasure to announce that this year Bombala has been able to nominate three teams for the competition, both Reserve and First grade men’s teams and Ladies League Tag. The clubs resilience shone through when approached later by Group 16 to combine with the Tathra Sea Eagles for 2016, but the Bombala club held strong with their initial nomination to stand alone. It was unfortunate to see Tathra miss out for the season but it was not the time for Bombala to back down given the clubs momentum and the continued loyal support from the footy-passionate Bombala community.

The season has already begun in a positive manner with the boys taking to the field in the Group 16 9’s competition in Narooma on the 19th of March.

First grade coach Joe Bobbin was impressed with the boys efforts being only narrowly defeated on both accounts. The first game against Merimbula/ Pambula ended as 18-10 and after leading Bega by 14 at half time in the second game were narrowly defeated 24-21. Try scorers included Luke Ingram, Andrew Platts, Brett Hodak, Charlie Lomas and a double for Paul Perkins. Standouts for the day included Luke Ingram, Luke Jamieson, Brett Hodak and Paul Perkins. Perkins was also awarded Players Player for the day for the Bombala team.

“It was great to see such promising efforts from the boys especially the efforts from new recruit Ryan Simpson who played in his first ever game,” reported Bobbin.

All three grades have been in training over the summer and have all been working hard to prepare for the 2016 season. As mentioned, Joe Bobbin has been reappointed first grade captain/coach for the season to follow up his positive efforts to help rebuild

the club last year. Bobbin himself has been playing some fantastic football, having recently participated in the recent Group 16 representative Indigenous VS All Stars game, as did fellow local boy Luke Ingram.

Bobbin contributed to the win through scoring tries and also received the Best and Fairest player award for the game too.

The Reserve Grade Captain/Coach has been appointed to the well-respected player Clay Stewart who brings a wealth of knowledge and skill to the field which will be pivotal to all players, both current and those brand new to the game.

The coaching role of the Ladies League Tag is going to be a joint effort this year, with devoted captain of 2015 Maree Coates expecting her first baby mid-year, she has taken on the co-coaching role this year with Brian Morgan, another well respected football player of the Bombala region.

Brian has been following the game throughout the years supporting both wife and daughter and therefore has much to offer in the way of Rugby League experience adaptable to the League Tag game.

The BDRLFC would like to thank again their major sponsor for coming back on board for 2016, The Bombala RSL Club, as well as many other sponsors who contribute to the club, without their continued support the club would not be able to continue. We welcome and encourage everyone to come on down to the Bombala Showground on Sunday the 3rd of April for what is set to be a cracker day of football.

The schedule thus far is set for kick off at 11.30am with the Ladies League Tag followed by the official opening of the new change-rooms/toilet facilities at 1pm. The men’s Reserve Grade is scheduled for 1.30pm kick-off with First Grade set to round out the day with 3pm kick-off. The BDRLFC greatly values the continued support and loyalty of their passionate supporters.

Seears into major singles semi Enthralling is the word that comes to mind to describe the Major Singles match between Steve Seears and Colin Roberson last Wednesday.

It had everything, including a couple of wrong bias and a dead end. Colin started like he wanted it over quickly to lead 15/5 on 12.

At that point Steve started on the road to recovery and at end 21 the scores were 17/17. They were level again on ends 23, 26, 29 and 26/26 on 32 with Colin then in front 27/26 on 33. Five shots over four ends put Steve into the semi final 31/27 where he will play Mark Buckley. The other semi final is

Daniel Clough v Ross Russell and these are set down for 1pm on April 9 with markers to be advised.

Social bowlers welcomed back to the rink former bowler Peter Mackay who teamed up with Bas Bolt and Bob Lahy against Innes Rees, Max Butler and Ron Gammon. Bob’s team lost only six of the 20 ends played for a 22/12 victory.

Peter Harris and Renate Winckel had an even game with Mary Phillips and Max Reeve for 12 ends but only managed to win four more ends to give Mary and Max a solid win 27/16.

Ken Rees and Paul Cannell were slow starters against Mick Mayhew and Kevin Jackson but had a slight lead 10/9 after 13 ends. They remained on 10 for a further eight ends with Mick and Kevin winning 30/15.

Russell Fox, Mike Mannile and Denis Steinfort had a 15/4 lead over Allan Crowe, Alby Marshall and Bill McDonald after eight ends. However Allan, Alby and Bill had it all square, 19/19 on 18 but eventually went down 20/22, the closest match for the day.

Entries for the District Mixed Pairs close on April 2, but a start of play date has not yet been finalised. Adaminaby v Cooma Two and

Cooma One v Jindabyne in Pennants are still to be played and start date for Mixed Pairs will be dependent on District’s decision on a playing date for these two matches.

Cooma One will need to defeat Jindabyne in the aggregate and win two rinks to gain nine points to oust Jindabyne from first spot. Adaminaby v Cooma Two will not alter anything.

With all the activity in town on Easter Saturday there were no starters for social bowls so that is all for this week, hope all had a great Easter weekend.

Classic NPL Tournament Not everyone was preoccupied with Easter last weekend, with almost 50 hopefuls hitting the poker tables in the $5000 Bombala Classic NPL Tournament.

With a trip to Las Vegas and some impressive cash prizes at stake, poker players came from across the wider region to compete with the locals at the Bombala RSL Club on Saturday.

After eight hours of play, it was Osman of Merimbula who came out the winner,

opting to take home $2005 in cash and prizes.

Although no locals made the final table, the runners-up were all smiles, with a total prize pool of $5,300 in cash and other prizes being scored through the Bombala NPL Classic.

Stallions V Narooma Back to Cooma Fun Run Stallions captain coach Todd Williams has named his first grade side to take on Narooma in the first round of the Group 16 competition this Sunday.

Williams has had the boys working hard at training and, coming off a strong preseason, he expects them to be very competitive in the first round of the season proper.

“We named the side on Tuesday and we’re looking really good. The halves are gelling together and the forwards are going well. Things are shaping up well,” he said.

The Stallions first grade squad have one training to go before the weekend and Williams plans to put the focus on defence and attacking the line.

Coming off the recent trial match Williams is confident in his first grade team and is appreciative of the current depth of his playing squad.

2016 sees the Stallions contain depth in both the backs and forwards with several players still to come back.

The Staliions will not be taking anything away from the nines tournament other than the fact there is a number of good young players who are prepared to put their hand up and take on responsibility when the time comes.

“Depth is good, we have good depth in the halves which is something we have been lacking, and good depth in the forwards as well.

“There’s still boys to come back so it’s up to the boys to play well and keep their spot. There’s blokes sniffing at their heels,” Williams said.

This weekend will also see the Fillies, Under 18s and Reserve Grade teams take the field and The Stallions are expecting an exciting weekend of football.

People are encouraged to come to the first home game at the Cooma Showground from 10.30am.

The first grade squad to take on Narooma is: 1.Matthew Salvestro, 2. Dean Blyton, 3. Brandon Williams, 4.

Tim Knight, 5. Jono Daily, 6. Kyle High, 7. Astin Nunan, 8. Ricky Bensley, 9. Jimmy Boller, 10. Corey Thomas, 11. Torin Findlay, 12.

Jesse Jackson, 13. Todd Williams, 14 Josh Steinke, 15. Adam Walters, 16. Mill Issa, 17. Clint Dunn.

Players to watch this week will be Astin Nunan, the young halfback boasts an exciting kicking game and is expected to impress leading his new team around the paddock for the first time. Corey Thomas is always reliable for the Stallions and is in form, having dominated for the Indigenous Dream Team at Moruya earlier this month. The high flying Matty Salvestro brings blistering pace, skill and dexterity, and is known for leaving confused opposition players in his wake on his way to the in goal. He has been modelling himself off Brett Stewart and is a good chance of picking up man of the match this weekend.

Cooma Ladies Golf Pat Crawford, our newest member, was the winner in last Wednesday’s nine-hole medley stableford.

She scored 18 points due to some very steady driving and fairway play with the ball landing in the middle of the fairways.

Always handy!

However, we think that spring in her step had more to do with it.

The runner-up, on a countback, was Denise Ashcroft with 16 points.

She played consistently and also had Nearest The Pin second shot on the fourth.

Balls went to Helen Crawford, 16 points, and Marilynne Weston,

15 points.

The first round of the local intertown pennants was played in Cooma last week.

The Cooma team took on Bombala and the players were pleased with their 4/1 win.

Congratulations to all.

Good golfing to those playing in the annual Far South Coast and Tablelands Women’s Open Tournament in Eden this week.

Coming up: Wed, 30th – 9 Hole Club Championships (stroke)/18 hole medley stableford; Sat, 2nd – Holden Scramble; Sun, 3rd – Keno Mixed 4BBB Stableford See you on the course!

Saturday’s Back to Cooma festivities kicked off with the Back to Cooma Fun Run hosted by the Monaro High School Leo Club at Nijong Oval.

Current and former Cooma residents enjoyed a glorious morning for exercise as they participated in a 10 km or 5 km run/ walk.

With over 100 entries, the event was a run-away success!

The event was held with a dual purpose; a fun exercise event for the Back to Cooma Festival as well as an opportunity for the Monro High School Leo Club to raise funds and awareness for beyondblue.

Taya Evans, vice-president of the Leo club, has recently won the State Leo of the year award speaking about the topic of rural depression and the club were excited to hold an event to fundraise for this important issue.

Thanks to the generous support of our major sponsors; Snowliner Coaches, Birdsnest, Fortitude Physiotherapy, Monaro Aquatics Services (Cooma Pool), Cooma Family Dental and Sportspower Cooma, the event raised $2500 for beyondblue. thank you also to business who donated goods for the event: Coles Cooma, Monaro Meats and Blue Sky Outdoors.

Plenty of campcraft action in Bombala Off to Equitana Ben Mooney.

Sam Mooney won one of the two Maiden Drafts on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rachaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Adding to the huge line up of events over the Easter long weekend in the region was the Talbot Transport Bombala Campdraft.

The action packed draft was held in Delegate this year, kicking off early on Good Friday with 65 competing in the Bombala IGA sponsored Ladies Draft, won by Hayley Clarke riding Riley.

Next the South Eastern Livestock Exchange (SELX) Ladies Top Cutout was won by Leah Whitehead.

Finishing off Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action was the Ace Equipment Maiden Draft, which attracted 160 riders and was spilt into two legs. The first Maiden was won

by Damien West and Playboy Spin, and the second by Sam Mooney and Rachael.

Saturday morning started early with the Sharpe & Fullgrabe Novice Draft, which saw 190 entries eventually whittled down to the winner, Glen Coleman riding Ella.

The Junior Draft, sponsored by Alan Rutherford Transport and Frank Coonan, was won by Amy Clarke, while the Juvenile Draft, sponsored by JDs Meats Pambula, was won by Hayley Clarke.

The Talbot Transport Open Draft was on next, and with fading daylight and over 100 competitors, it was continued on Sunday morning, Scott Gardiner coming out on top.

Next was the Bibbenluke Stock Horse Stud sponsored Open

Draft, which was won

by Keryn Gardiner and Jasmine, while the Terry Niven Memorial Open Top Cut was taken out by Steven Hart on Armani.

The final draft of the weekend was the D&M Automotive sponsored Novice Draft, which boasted an incredible 205 competitors, with Glen Coleman and Encore taking the glory.

In another great win, the Bruce & Erica Niven Memorial Local Top Cutout was won

by Phillip Collins and Switch.

The Bombala Campdraft Committee now offer sincere thanks to all of its sponsors, with a special thank you going to Talbot Transport and their truck drivers for giving up their Easter to assist.

Thank you also to all cattle donors, without whom campdrafting would not be possible.

The committee would like to especially thank Darren and Toni Smith for all their hard work running the canteen all weekend, and to Maya Mildwater for the Saturday evening meal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An extra special thanks to the Delegate Campdraft Commitee for allowing us to use their grounds this year,â&#x20AC;? a spokesperson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We greatly appreciate the generosity shown by your committee and all the help you gave us over the weekend and the weeks leading up to the draft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lastly to our hardworking committee who put in a massive effort to run this event, a huge thank you.â&#x20AC;?

The competition in barrel racing is so fierce that 12 months ago Michelle sold a horse that was placing in events because she knew it would not be able to compete at the top level.

Michelle is confident on Squiggles, and currently has her sights set on the ABHA National Finals held in Tumut in September. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the focus.

Everything Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done is focused on this final,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Michelle says barrel racing has evolved a long way in recent times and it was hard to get help in the event when she first started.

There is now more support and systems in place for riders, with a clinic being run by Michelle and her friend Adele Edwards in April this year.

Michelle will be running the clink in Cooma to increase exposure for barrel racing in the area and utilise the excellent facility the town has. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The surface in the arena is one of the best we have to ride on,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Michelle will focus on the horsemanship aspect of barrel racing, something she puts a lot of emphasis on with her own horses and for her students at Cherry Tree Equine.

Michelle takes people trail riding and shows them how to develop a

better relationship with their horse and how to train their horse away from the arena. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Barrel racing horses only have so many runs in their legs so you have to be really strategic,â&#x20AC;? she said.

She also teaches horsemanship and chemical application at TAFE and is constantly attending clinics herself so she can extend her knowledge.

Michelle loves what she does and is grateful to everyone who has helped her along the way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would really like to thank my family for enabling me to do everything I do. My Mum and Dad and Warren and Spencer are the reason I get to live the dream and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it without them. I would also really like to thank my sponsors; Mitavite, Shoshoni Equine and Horse and Hound for helping me get down the road. And to every person who has every given me encouragement, help, been to a clinic or had a lesson or just been interested in what I do, it really makes me realise how lucky I am that people are interested in my sport and my well-being,â&#x20AC;? she said.

She is now off to Yass this weekend to vie for the barrel racing title in the Gunna Rope Series and to come home with a shiny new buckle.

Gargett takes out the A Grade Easter Cup at the Cooma Club The Easter Cup was played over the Easter break as a two day event and A Grade was won by John Gargett with two good rounds of 71 nett and 68 nett for a total of 139 nett. B Grade was won by Tony Perry with a total of 141 nett and C Grade by Neil Venables with two rounds of 72 nett for a total of 144 nett.

Highlight of the week on the golf course was a scintillating 61 nett by Zach Smith on Sunday, which absolutely destroyed his handicap, cutting an astonishing 10.6 shots off in one round, catapulting him from C Grade to A Grade in one day, eclipsing the feat of Steve Wheatley a number of years ago who took a whole weekend to make the same achievement.

Zachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second round was a surreal 23 shots better than his round the day before ! Good luck playing to 12, Zach.

Round one of the Easter Cup saw A Grade taken out by Mark van Ommen with 71 nett from Kim Howard on 71 nett.

B Grade went to Mike Introna on 68 nett from Tim Young on 70 nett and C Grade went to Neil Venables on 72 Nett from

Dave Abraham on 74 Nett. Balls were won by Dom Rossi, John Gargett, Stephen Joyce, Steve Young and Richard Hanna.

Long Drives went to John Gargett (A Grade), Daniel Wilkins (B Grade) and Zach Smith (C Grade). Nearest the pin on 9 was won by Mark van Ommen while Warren Bray was nearest the pin on 17.

Round two of the Easter Cup saw John Gargett win A Grade with 68 Nett, Tony Perry B Grade with 18 Nett and Zach Smith C Grade with 61 Nett. Ball were won by Mark Rainsford, Frank McKnight, Neil Venables, Terry Johnstone, Brad Burgess, Colin Burgess, Tony Monday and Campbell Childs. Nearest the pin on 9 went to Brian Searl and Terry Johnstone on 17.

Last Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stableford saw A Grade going to David Robinson with 36 points (on a countback), B Grade to Warren Bray with 40 points and C Grade to Dieter Seubert with 37 points (on a countback). Balls were won by Kerry Blencowe,

Meat Loverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mondays

Mal Crockett, John Alexander, Keith Russel, Tony Monday and Mark Rainsford. Nearest the pin on 9 was won by Col Langdon who must have gone perilously close to a hole in one with his ball ending about 300mm away on 9 while Doug Parker was closest on 17.

Fridaysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stableford saw Dave Crawford win with 37 points from Wayne Flynn on a countback. Balls were won by Kim Howard, Harry Mould, Steve Young, Darren Cantor and Steve Russell. Nearest the pins went to Steve Young on the 9th and Wayne Flynn on 17.

The highlight of next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competitions is the Holden Scramble 4 person Ambrose on Saturday (get your team organised if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already), with the winners and place getters progressing to the regional playoffs.

There will be a Stableford on Wednesday while Sunday will feature the Keno Mixed 4BBB Stableford, from which the top team will qualify for the regional final and the men not involved in the 4BBB will play an individual Stableford.

Nick Chapman Michelle O’Neill has developed an excellent reputation as a horse breeder, a barrel race competitor and as an educator in horsemanship.

Michelle has had a love for horses her entire life, stemming back to when her parents had a farm near Adaminaby where she recalls being either “a help or a hindrance” to her dad riding horses that were used for stock work.

She started riding with the Adaminaby Pony Club at around eight years old before transferring to the Cooma Pony Club.

She then developed an interest in dressage for a period of

about five years, before she discovered barrel racing.

“I was going out with someone who did saddle bronc and I thought ‘I can do that’,” she said.

In her first proper year of competition, Michelle qualified for the nationals in 2000, placing her in the top 25 riders in the country.

That same year she won two zone rookie titles for the southern zone.

More recently, Michelle came first at the Cooma Rodeo and won the Mitavite Barrel Race Equitana Qualifer at last weekend’s Back to Cooma Rodeo, gaining entry to Australia’s richest one run barrel race; the Australian Open, to be held in Melbourne in November.

Michelle will be riding her horse Squiggles, a horse she bred herself.

Michelle recalls a funny story behind Squiggles when he was born, out of the need to use a service fee - the process of taking a mare to a stallion.

“I went to the video shop and ran in to Robbie Freebody and he told me to take a mare called Chickie Cat and use the service fee,” she said.

The resulting foal was Squiggles who she says is the best foal she has ever bred.
