To help put mateship back on track, Snowy Hydro is urging locals to ask “are you ok?” even more regularly and is holding events around our company in support of suicide prevention organisation R U OK? As part of the 2014 campaign, R U OK? is asking all Australians to be even better mates by having conversations more regularly with family, friends and colleagues who might be doing it tough.

To inspire this sense of mateship, Snowy Hydro today held a staff BBQ at each of our worksites simultaneously on the 11 September for our staff.

In Cooma, almost 100 staff attended the R U Ok luncheon which was also attend

by Chief Operating Officer Ken Lister and Snowy Hydro Director Noel Cornish.

“At each site employees got together to share lunch and have a catch up. Getting employees together and talking about the importance of asking people RU OK? will help more people appreciate that family, friends and neighbours don’t have to be an expert to have these conversations. We hope to remind people that we can help someone who’s not ok by listening to what

Big new investment for major employer Snowy Hydro acquires Lumo Energy Snowy Hydro is poised to write a brand new chapter in its iconic history with its acquisition of Infratil’s Australian Energy Market Assets, including the retailer Lumo, in a deal worth $605 million.

The purchase includes 163MW of peaking generation assets in South Australia and NSW, the company ‘Direct Connect’ (a one stop utility connection service) and Lumo’s electricity and gas retailing business, which has more than 540,000 customers in Victoria, South Australia, NSW and Queensland.

Combined with the existing Red Energy business, Snowy Hydro’s retail customer base will now total almost 1 million customers across four States, marking a major step towards realising the company’s goal of becoming the fourth pillar in the National Electricity Market.

Chairman of Snowy Hydro, Mr Bruce Hogan AM said “Snowy Hydro has never shied away from value- accretive acquisitions that complement the existing portfolio and the highly successful organic growth strategy delivered by the partnership with Red Energy. Key to this outcome was acquiring the three separate components of the Infratil business. This, combined with our existing portfolio of

generation assets of the Snowy Hydro Scheme and our Victorian Gas plant, will give Snowy Hydro the ability to deliver a superior total customer offering, underpinning Snowy Hydro’s future as a stronger, larger, even more successful business�.

Lumo, like Red Energy, has an enviable record in product innovation and customer service, which has seen both achieve strong growth over the last decade. Both companies rate very highly in customer satisfaction and have won multiple customer service awards.

Snowy Hydro CEO Paul Broad described the acquisition as a “win for consumers�. He said “combined with Snowy Hydro’s proud history, excellence in engineering, innovation and proven capability in the market, this acquisition is an ideal fit for Snowy Hydro.�

Mr Broad told The Monaro Post “we want to own south east NSW, where the Snowy brand is the biggest. It’s a lot of dollars, but there is no doubt. This is what we do. We have the right mix of people to do this.�

Mr Broad concluded “this deal is going to increase competition right across the east coast. Any

customer in the eastern mainland States can now sign up for their energy supply with the Snowy Hydro group. Today marks a major milestone in the proud and successful Snowy Hydro story.�

Council approves removal of 150-year-old trees -

Lisa Deas

At a council meeting held on Monday September 8, Cooma-Monaro Shire Council approved the removal of six English Elm trees at the intersection of Amos Street and Massie Street.

After what has been several years of noncompliance with an original DA that ordered the reconstruction of a carpark; an offence for which the landowner received a fine in Cooma Local Court after he pleaded guilty to the noncompliance, council have granted permission for the removal of the trees at the total expense of the landowner.

However, the landowner in question, Ignatzio Mondello, is seeking financial compensation from council to undertake the works as he believes part of the trees, in particular their root systems, are now growing on council land.

Although at the meeting it was decided council would not provide financial assistance to remove the trees in question, a report

undertaken by an arborist last year suggests that there is currently no proof that the these trees are causing any damage to infrastructure, nor are they imposing on the planned works associated with the reconstruction of the carpark.

The report also went on to state that the Elm Trees were in fair health and that they were of a low priority compared to several other trees throughout the CBD. Council have also indicated that the maintenance of storm water drains, which the land owner claimed are being damaged by the trees, is in fact the responsibility of the property owner and does not fall under the financial obligations of council at all.

The Elm Trees themselves are of historical significance to the Cooma Township and have been in place for longer than 150 years, well before the initial DA to build in the area was ever approved.

It is also noted in the report provided at the council meeting that the trees themselves are a significant distance from the carpark and that several other trees had been planted in the carpark area that would be more likely to hinder drainage.

The situation itself is one that remains contentious, as the landowner is a councillor who has been attempting to have the trees removed by council for several years.

Director of Environmental Services for the Cooma Monaro Shire Council, Peter Smith, indicated that regardless of the breed of tree, “any tree can drop leaves.”

Therefore, if leaves are blocking drainage in this carpark there is no clear indication that the trees in question are the sole, or major cause of the issue.

The report went on to state, “In combination with an unknown but apparently insufficient maintenance program, the attributing of the blame on

the six trees alone appears questionable.

The Amos Street trees may be contributing to the level of maintenance required at the site. So too would the defoliage of deciduous vegetation at other locations, including from private property onto public property, however, it appears that a general lack of building and property maintenance could also be a significant contributing factor.

Nonetheless, removal of the Amos Street trees would remove the primary avenue of complaint from the landowner regarding the drainage/carpark matter.”

Considering the findings of last year’s tree condition report of the Cooma CBD and the implications made that these trees were not in fact causing significant damage to any of the landowner’s infrastructure, the assumption that special consideration is being made because the landowner is a councillor is one that some locals feel to be true.

Hazel Mackenzie-Kay of the now-disbanded Tree Committee, who has a keen interest in flora and, in particular, historical flora, stated that English Elm Trees are not known to chase drains at all.

“These types of trees don’t chase drains,” she said.

“They are heritage declared trees and they have been tested during my time on the

SNOWLINER TRAVEL

tree committee and were found to be perfectly healthy,” she said.

The health of the trees alone is a reason worthy for their maintenance, as throughout the world the spread of Dutch Elm Disease has seen many of their kind die, particularly in Europe.

“We should treasure these healthy specimens as if they do contract the disease then it is likely the landowner will have his way and the trees will die,” she said.

“I also think it’s possible, with the amount of water that collects in that particular area, that cutting down these trees could make the situation worse, as they must be removing a lot of excess water from an area that is already particularly swampy,” she said.

Though Mrs Mackenzie-Kay admitted that the breed of these trees is prone to dropping a significant amount of seed and leaves, she believes when it comes to the heritage alone of our community, these trees are worth saving.

“They’ve been here for around 150 years, to cut them down would be a huge shame,” she said.

The papers that appeared at the council meeting did include a motion that suggested if the trees were removed they would need to be replaced with shrubbery.

Dugald Mitchell, the former president of the Tree Committee, says that this inclusion isn’t good enough.

“The word shrubbery is very vague to me,” he said.

“It doesn’t indicate what type of trees will be planted if these are removed, it is also not a particularly easy place to replace with trees, considering where the building has been built,” he said.

“Considering the elms are perfectly alright according to the council report, I can’t see why they should be removed,” he finished. He expressed concern that the landowner may now seek to have trees removed from outside other properties he owns in Sharp Street.

Mr Mitchell advised on Monday that the Cooma Monaro Progress Association was in the process of having the trees heritage listed.

No tree hugging for this Hippy in KNP It has taken ten years of grunt and determination for Dave ‘Hippy’ Hipwell and his crew to eliminate exotic trees from the Guthega area of Kosciuszko National Park.

For ten years they hand-felled trees, treated stumps to stop regrowth, and chipped as much wood as possible to assist native revegetation.

The exotic trees, which included willow, poplar and birch, were planted as part of Snowy Scheme construction activities during the 1950s. At the time, the standard practice for road stabilisation was to plant fast-growing trees and there was an arboretum along Guthega Road to trial a range of species. These introduced

species have now been removed due to improved understanding of their impacts on Australian waterways.

Mr Hipwell, a Senior Field Officer with the Landforms and Rehabilitation Team of the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), said the crew had worked hard to achieve the milestone of complete eradication.

Exotic trees were originally found along 30 kilometres of the upper Snowy River corridor and Guthega roadsides. Together with Mick Kuhn and Doug Chatten, Hippy and the crew committed about 5,000 hours to the project over a decade.

“Each summer we tackled another section of the job and just kept concentrating on one tree at a time,” Mr Hipwell

said.

“By staging the project we protected the stability of adjoining roads and slopes.

“Where there was not enough native vegetation to get natural regeneration, we planted seedlings of local species.

“I’m proud of the team and what we achieved.

Many people thought it was an impossible task but we persevered.”

Removing invasive species is an National Park. If not needed on important part of a larger project site, the wood chip is used to add rehabilitating former Snowy organic material and suppress Scheme sites across Kosciuszko weeds elsewhere in the park.

"Essence of the Snowies" - the Mosaic designed and created by the Autumn Leaves group was unveiled and donated to the Community on 9 September 2014 at the Coolamatong Country club.

This exciting and innovative project has been underway since the beginning of the year and has been supported by artists in our area and the members of our Autumn Leaves Group.

Throughout the project, the Group has learned many new skills including design work, sorting, cutting and gluing glass Mosaic tiles and they are very proud of the final product. The mosaic represents the Snowy River Shire and includes a Brumby, the Dalgety Bridge, the Snowy River and Snow Capped Mountains, Berridale Boulders, the Adaminaby Trout and a beautiful warm Autumn Tree.

Mayor John Cahill and Councillor Bill Smits attended the unveiling along with the Autumn Leaves Group, Community members and Council staff.

Local artists Sallyanne Greentree and Jan Owens were presented a thankyou gift as their expertise and time contributed immensely to the success and completion of the Mosaic.

The original idea was to have the mosaic placed onto a table in the Berridale Park however this has been put on hold temporarily with other ideas being considered to ensure that it is enjoyed by the whole community and the many visitors to our Shire.

The mosaic is one example of the many projects that the Autumn Leaves and Men's Groups can participate in with Snowy River Shire Council's, Community Services. There are other new projects planned and for those interested in becoming involved, please call Council on 6451 1059 for more information.

The replacement of old council-owned timber bridges in Monaro could be fasttracked as part of the NSW Government’s new, innovative program Country Bridge Solutions, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro said.

The program delivers a standard bride design making it easier and cheaper for NSW to replace old and worn structure.

“Many councils struggle with both the design and engineering aspects of replacing an old bridge and this ‘cookie cutter’ method will help councils in Monaro design and build new bridges on their local roads,” Mr Barilaro said.

“We want to help

councils get more ‘bang for their buck’ by providing smart, cost-effective bridge building solutions.”

Mr Barilaro said the Roads and Maritime Service (RMS) has developed an initial design for a pre-stressed concrete modular bridge system to deliver structures with a maximum span length of

12 metres; dimensions which suit the vast majority of old timber bridges in the state.

“Councils in Monaro can nominate timber bridges they would like replaced as a high priority,” Mr Barilaro said.

“The NSW Government will work closely with regional councils to develop a detailed inventory on the condition of nominated timber bridges and then generate a priority list focused on improving road safety and removing road freight pinch points.”

The NSW Government expects the inventory of council nominated timber bridges to be finalised by the end of January 2015.

Snowy Advisory Committee established NSW Minister for Natural Resources, Lands and Water Kevin Humphries last week welcomed the passage of legislation to create a Snowy Advisory Committee through the NSW Parliament.

Mr Humphries said

the Snowy Hydro Corporatisation Amendment (Snowy Advisory Committee) Bill 2013 will replace the Snowy Scientific Committee with a new and more representative Snowy Advisory

Committee that will balance community representation with scientific and technical expertise.

“The new Snowy Advisory Committee will provide independent, specialist advice to

the NSW Government on environmental flow releases from the Snowy Hydro Scheme,” Mr Humphries said.

“The Snowy Advisory Committee will draw on both government and community expertise to ensure the pattern and timing of releases maximise environmental outcomes.

“It has now been 17 years since the legislation to establish the Snowy Scientific Committee was enacted and since then much has changed in the management of the system.

“Today we need an advisory committee which can address a broader range of issues associated with environmental flow releases, and this will be expertly addressed through the Snowy Advisory Committee.”

The members of the new committee will include local community

representatives, a representative from an environmental organisation, Indigenous representatives, NSW and Victorian Government specialists, a representative from Snowy Hydro Limited and other technical and scientific specialists as required.

“The new Snowy Advisory Committee will be funded by the NSW Government, will have access to the latest NSW Government information and monitoring, modelling and research and will be a much more effective advisory body,” Mr Humphries said.

“The new structure will ensure a balance between technical and water management expertise, scientific specialists and government, Indigenous and community representation.”

Fifteen people arrested in drug raid

In the early hours of Wednesday September 15 in excess of 80 police raided several properties in the Cooma township, making 15 arrests for a range of crimes included the possession of the dangerous ‘blue batman’ ecstasy pills.

Between the number of suspects taken into custody, over 500 methamphetamine tablets were seized by police, a large amount of cash was uncovered, several illegal species of fauna were found, firearms and ammunition were recovered as well as some valuable war medals, which will eventually be returned to their rightful owners.

The huge effort by police is part of a targeted strategy to help shut down the supply of prohibited drugs not only in Cooma, but across the entire Snowy Mountains.

Monaro LAC Superintendent Rod Smith stated a warning to visitors and locals who have intentions to bring prohibited substances into the region, that police will catch you. “Chances are we will catch up with you,� warned Superintendent Smith.

The police effort throughout Cooma is one that has many locals praising police via several social media platforms, including The Monaro Post’s own Facebook page, where several locals have expressed their gratitude toward the competencies of the local force. “The execution of several search warrants today resulted in the uncovering of large commercial quantities of prohibited substances,� he said. “This is a direct result of the operations we began undertaking in May,�

Superintendent Smith stated.

The estimated street value of last Wednesday’s haul is approximately $290,000; police believe there are approximately 43 individuals involved in the supply of the drugs throughout Cooma and the Snowy Mountains, so investigations and further drug related operations will continue in the area. “People of this area can be very proud of the pride they show in their region,�

Superintend Smith said. “There is definitely no reason that local people should feel unsafe, there is a competent police force in the Monaro who are aiming to minimalise harm by getting these drugs off the street,� he said.

Also seized in the raids was in excess of half a kilogram of cannabis, with one local man arrested in possession of over 50 ecstasy tablets.

A total of four firearms were taken from various residences and included in the haul were several snakes and a turtle.

Harold Edward Newby, 41, seven charges, One woman and eight men were arrested at properties in Bombala Street, Sharp Street granted bail; Brendan Robert Cock, 26, 15 charges, bail and locations in Cooma North during the warrants in Cooma, of which some of these refused; Mark Anthony Londero, 31, 10 charges, suspects were connected to a cafĂŠ in Sharp granted bail; Street.

Glen Michael Rootsey, nine charges, bail The operation was described as “sophisticated� and “complex� by refused; Daniel Leon Sowerby, 40, 19 charges, bail Superintendent Smith who also expressed his recent disgust with several assaults refused and will appear in Cooma Local Court throughout the Snowy Mountains on police on October 7.

Brad Alwyn Holt, 31, 59 charges, bail by perpetrators under the influence of alcohol. “I’m appalled and disgusted by the police refused. assaults that occurred in Jindabyne,� he said.

Superintendent Smith said that the entire police organisation was disgusted by the mistreatment of the officer recently and that the sustained injuries were the result of “one drunken idiot�.

As winter draws to a close and the Snowy Mountains see less visitors bringing prohibited substances to the area, it is hoped that the message police are sending is one that can be carried into future winter seasons and on throughout the rest of the year.

Nine people appeared in Queanbeyan Local Court last Thursday in relation to the arrests: The following were adjourned to Queanbeyan Court on November 7: Zachary Wayne Senson, 23, 1 charge- granted bail; Jeffrey Robert Gilmore, 23, six charges, bail refused; Jack Johnson, 20, 17 charges, Pictured: Superintendant Rod Smith and granted bail; Detective Inspector Shane Box

Barilaro enjoys Perisher the

postman calls

Congratulations to the Cooma Fillies who overcame their arch-rivals Bega in the League tag grand final on Sunday.

It’s always daunting playing the opposition on their own ground, but the Fillies proved their quality on Sunday, even winning the best player award through Meg Bracher’s outstanding game.

Well done, ladies!

Well done, too, to the Cooma Colts Under 10s who put up a sterling performance in their grand final last weekend.

They might not have won the match but they certainly performed to the best of their abilities.

With players finally able to hang up their footy boots for a few months, our local ovals will soon be converted into meccas for the ‘flannelled fools’, our cricketers.

The big question is, will The Monaro Post be able to lure Duck Pond out of retirement for some more ascerbic match reports this cricket season?

Let’s hope so…

Brickbats and bouquets times – bouquets to council for the beautiful blossom trees in bloom in town at present; brickbats to council for agreeing to allow the destruction of 150-year-old trees for no real reason.

Council’s chainsaw policy is still in action, apparently!

Editor, Last weekend I was lucky enough to spend some time at Perisher enjoying some of the last snow of the season. I love Perisher and my family and I look forward to spending some time each winter at the snow enjoying their world class ski facilities. Speaking of which, Perisher continues to develop and lead the way in Australian ski resorts with the opening of the new Freedom Chair to the Guthega snowfield. The Freedom Chair can carry up to 2400 people per hour and has increased lifting capacity to Guthega by 46%.

It is one of the biggest feats of engineering undertaken by Perisher in recent years and I was lucky enough to officially open the Freedom Chair last Friday, 5 September. Well done to the Perisher team for this great achievement. Another reason I love Perisher is their community spirit

and willingness to support charity and hold events. On Saturday, 6 September, I opened the Pink Ladies in the Snow event for the Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) and it was a great success. The whole mountain was painted pink and it really is a testament to the hard work of the BCNA and local organiser Helen Blackmore-Lee who puts in so much time and effort to organise this event each year. It’s events like Pink Ladies that really raise awareness and funding for Breast Cancer and enable us to keep fighting for the many affected Australian women. I was really proud to have been a part of these events and I’m already looking forward to returning to Perisher again in the future.

Yours sincerely, John Barilaro

Riposte Lisa Ashurst You know, watching a cat trying her damnedest to catch a moth that’s fluttering enticingly on the other side of the window would have to be one of the best lessons in dogged determination to never give up on something you really want. I say this because I have been minding The Bloke’s cat these last few weeks and she has taken a real shine to the big moths that are attracted nightly to the lighted floor to ceiling windows here and if ever there was a cat hell bent on pawing/scratching/biting her way through thick glass to get to that winged toy on the other side, it’s her.

Having gone through the same antics night after night, you would think that she would give it up and go play with something else, but not this puss. Sure, I can see the attraction such a sight would have for a healthy feline overflowing with vigour and vim but surely the penny must have dropped by now? Possibly it has, and if so I’m guess it’s the chase she enjoys so much but seriously, how much pawing/scratching/biting can one puss do?

Believe me, with this one it’s a lot.

And then there’s also the acrobatic leaping to reach the moths that, having spent several minutes yoyoing up and down the lower half of

the windows, ascend to the top in search of access to the light inside.

And those that cease their fluttering to settle on the glass are just asking for it and much scrabbling of paws with nose pressed to pane inevitably follows. After several nights of failing to nab one though, you really would expect the novelty to have worn incredibly thin but no, she is determined to get at least one of them (though she’d prefer them all) and is not going to allow a little thing like a pane of impenetrable (to moths and paws anyway) glass to stand in her way.

Having watched her antics night after night, I started thinking that maybe there could be a lesson for all of us in there somewhere. I mean, how many times have we thrown in the towel because the effort involved in reaching a specific goal has seemed like too much? Or hit a brick wall and decided it was just too hard to try get around it? Or grouched about something we felt was taking way too long to come to fruition? Or am I simply having a slow night and reading way too much into the antics of a cat trying to dig her way through glass to get her paws (and teeth) on a big fat fluffy tantalising moth that’s doing its fluttery thing on the other side?

Well okay, that probably is all it is...

Amalgamation discussions back on councils’ tables Jack Needham The NSW government’s announcement of its Fit for the Future program this week has triggered renewed discussion over council amalgamations in the face of rising operational costs and an infrastructure backlog.

The package relies on local councils submitting plans for efficiency gains to an independent assessment body in return for additional state government funding for successful plans to be enacted.

According to a press release issued by the Member for Monaro, John Barilaro, the package may lead to councils merging. “Becoming Fit for the Future will mean different things for different councils; changes to services, new ways of managing finances; voluntary mergers, and new structures like Rural Councils to maintain local representation and regional Joint Organisations to improve collaboration,�

Mr Barilaro said.

The three shire mayors and general managers on the Monaro (from Bombala, Snowy River and Cooma-Monaro Shire Council’s) already meet regularly through the Higher Plains Forum to discuss resource sharing and other costsaving measures.

All three shires sent a joint submission to the NSW State Government Minister in February this year, arguing against forced

have now both expressed an openminded philosophy toward amalgamations, providing certain conditions are put in

amalgamation after the Cooma-Monaro and Bombala Shire’s were listed as being “at risk� by the Independent Local Government Review Panel.

At the time the councils argued that a forced amalgamation would lead to the loss of local identity, however the Mayors of Snowy River Shire Council and CoomaMonaro Shire Council

place. “(The Higher Plains forum) tends to say that we’d like to maintain our identity. Most of our councils are well over 100 years old. But I think we’ve got to face the facts and our costs are becoming out of control. We need to look at a better model to try and address our infrastructure needs and to address the spiraling cost of rates,�

Snowy River Shire resulting from any review).

Council Mayor, John amalgamation may be “You’ve got be above Cahill, said. hampered by current 5000 people in the However, Mr provisions in the Local town, so Cooma really Cahill believes that Government Act (which is the only town that the efficiency gains is currently under would be able to have redundancies.

So Bombala and our shire, under the current rules, would not be able to have any staff reduction,�

Mr Cahill said.

Cooma-Monaro Shire Mayor Dean Lynch said that amalgamation would not address all of the economic problems faced by council. “A few higher level staff might go, but you still need those blokes on the ground to drive the graders, to repair the roads.

Most of our staff are outdoor staff with all the councils, so we still need people Cooma-Monaro Shire Mayor Dean Lynch and Snowy River Shire Mayor John Cahill to do the work,� have an open mind on amalagations, with conditions.

Mr Lynch said.

Despite these concerns, Mr Lynch is not opposed to amalgamation providing it is done according to a model that maintains local identity, such as a County Council system. “I’m not opposed to amalgamations as long as it addresses the concerns of everybody, it could be good,� Mr Lynch said.

Mayor Cahill reflects this somewhat cautious sentiment, stating that his acceptance of any amalgamation proposal would be dependent upon the details. “I think it may not all be bad. It depends on the detail. What cost savings are on the table, and what sort of benefits can accrue to our communities? I’m not against it, but I’d like to see the detail before we move,� Mr Cahill said.

Local councils have until June 30 2015 to submit their proposals to the Fit for the Future assessment panel.

Count us in Jake and Olivia at Boali Lodge, Thredbo have now released their very own cookbook.

‘Two Weeks at the Lodge’

is a how-to guide of Boali's best-loved offerings; set out as a two-week menu and including beautiful photography, it is the Cookbook to have on your kitchen bench.

Pictured, Jindabyne Central School students particpating in last year’s Music: Count Us In event

‘Two Weeks at the Lodge’ cookbook is jam-packed with all their favourite recipes, with easy to follow, step-by-step instructions on how to recreate Boali favourites at home.

Over Fifty-five recipes cover dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with speciality desserts included by popular request!

Our book launch to be held at Snowprint Bookshop on the 9th October from 5.30pm with canapés and champagne

Local Monaro schools have registered for the Music: Count Us In (MCUI) event, set for October 30.

Jindabyne Central School, Snowy Mountains Grammar School, St Patrick’s Parish School and the McDonald family, have already registered.

Organisers are hoping more schools will come on board.

MCUI is a much loved and highly anticipated event within the national school calendar, and is now in its eighth year.

This huge school initiative, to be held on October 30 at 12:30pm AEDT will see more than 500,000 students from more than 2,100 schools sing the same song, at the same time, right across the country.

From Perth to Penrith,

Humpty Doo to Hobart, school kids of all ages and abilities have been busily learning and rehearsing this year’s Music: Count Us In song, Paint You a Song.

The aim of this annual event is to highlight the important role that music plays in educational development.

Registrations are now open for schools to get access to free support materials and classroom activity resources.

Some of the biggest names in the Australian music industry have supported MCUI, including Program Ambassador, John Foreman, Josh Pyke, Clare Bowditch, Melinda Schneider and Holly Throsby. This year Harry James Angus from The Cat Empire has thrown his

hat into ring, mentoring five talented high school students from across the country at a workshop in Sydney to write the program song.

MCUI delivers much needed professional development to classroom teachers. Research shows that teachers often lack the skills and confidence to teach music. Statistics from 8 years of MCUI show that participation often leads to increased provision of music by teachers, Principals and school communities throughout the year. More students put their hands up to join existing music ensembles and principals allocate more time and resources to music.

“I am honoured to be part of a program that has such a wonderful impact on school

communities,” says program ambassador John Foreman.

“I am constantly inspired by teachers’ commitment to developing their skills in order to provide students with much needed music education. By offering lesson plans, resources and opportunity for celebration, Music: Count Us In tries to make teachers’ lives a little easier!”

Managed by the Music Council of Australia, Music: Count Us In is supported by funding from The Australian Government. It meets a priority recommendation of the National Review of School Music Education (2005) to raise the status of music in our schools.

Patchwork experts celebrating first birthday Four Seasons of Patchwork is celebrating its first birthday this Friday, and storeowners Delwyn and Chris have decided to offer some special discounts to celebrate the occasion.

Reflecting on the year that has been, Delwyn said, “It’s been a really great year, we’ve had fantastic support from the local

ladies. We’ve had those from Cooma, Sydney, Jindabyne, through to Melbourne, there’s been a lot of repeat custom�.

One of the special offers currently available is a 50 per cent discount on September and October sewing classes,

meaning that a one-day class is now $23 and a two-day class is $45.

Further to this, any fabric purchased in-store on the day of a class by a participant will attract a ten per cent price reduction.

The classes are offered according to a customer’s preferred schedule. “We fit the class around the customer, which is working really well. You only need basic sewing skills to join in, and we offer classes specifically designed for beginner sewers as well,� Delwyn said.

On Friday, during the store’s regular sewing group, there

FOR FRESH FISH Maido Sushi moves into Cooma & SEAFOOD Maido Sushi has perhaps been the bestkept secret in the Snowy Mountains over this past year. Tucked away inside an abandoned looking service station ten kilometres outside of Cooma, one could find a rapidly expanding business built on the back of fresh, delicious sushi.

Well, it looks like the secret’s out. Maido has made the move into contemporary Japanese themed digs situated right in the heart of Cooma’s bustling Sharp Street and, if appearances are anything to go by, the locals are lapping it up. “We want people to come in and say “wow�,� owner Craig ‘Johno’ Johnson St, Cooma Ph: 6452 2157 explained.

The dĂŠcor is thematically based on earth, wind and fire, and, according to Johno, LIVE ENTERTAINMENT r e s e m b l e s a blend of downtown Tokyo and country Kyoto.

He put the shop together in the space of three weeks, a process that involved stripping the internal area back to the concrete.

J o h n o SUPPORTED BY CHRIS WEBBE has built the b u s i n e s s alongside wife Hitomi over this past year on the notion of

“bringing Japan to our local area.�

The two met whilst Johno, originally from the Snowy Mountains, was living in Japan.

He was there for nine years, first helping with the rebuilding effort following the Kobe earthquake and later importing Australian houses.

During his spare time he would often, as a patron or an employee, frequent Izakaya’s.

An Izakaya is a Japanese drinking establishment which serves small to medium meals in an efficient manner, an ethos which Maido aims to reflect.

Hitomi, from the Kansai region of Japan, has long wanted to open a restaurant in the local area.

Indeed, it was promised to her by Johno. “It’s been a long time coming,� he joked.

Japanese staff will join Hitomi in the kitchen in the coming months, as well as local students and the couple’s daughter, Maai.

The commercial aspect of the business, supplying the ski resorts Johnno at Maido Sushi, now in Cooma. and local school canteens, has been partially responsible for the businesses’ success. response from locals and visitors alike.

These operations will continue “We’ve been overwhelmed with the local into the future, sustained by an everincreasing demand for sushi, but the focus response and feedback,� Johno said.

While Maido may no longer be a secret, will now be on establishing the Maido restaurant as home to a broad range of mystery still surrounds its name. “Maido is a lazy word, or a slang word in Japanese cuisine.

There will be special meal nights Japan. It’s like our G’day,� said Johno. “People say it everywhere. To say “hello� commencing in October, where diners will be exposed to the traditional aspects of or “goodbye�,� added Hitomi.

Why not drop in for lunch or dinner and Japanese mealtime.

This ‘Japan meets the Snowies’ vision say “G’day�, or “Maido�, to Johno and has already been met with an enthusiastic Hitomi? The rest of Cooma is.

Rising river alert for Snowy River With help from Rotary ‘Waawii’ – water spirit

www.monaropost.com.au

The NSW Office of Water today issued a ‘rising river alert’ for the Snowy River between Jindabyne Dam and Dalgety in southern NSW for Wednesday 17 September 2014.

The river will rise due to the second high-flow event in a series of five planned environmental releases from Jindabyne Dam to the Snowy River during spring 2014.

All five high-flow events in the Snowy River during spring 2014 have been named by the five regional aboriginal communities - Bidwell-Maap, Wongalu, Southern MoneroYuin-Bolga, Maneroo-Ngarigo and Wiradjuri - who recognise the link between these high flows and the health of the Snowy River.

This second high-flow event for 2014 has been officially named ‘Waawii’, which means water spirit, in recognition of the Wongalu traditional people, who have an enduring and strong connection to the Snowy Mountains and the Snowy River.

The Wongalu people’s

country lies within the Monero and Snowy Mountains region and their ‘traditional pathway’ intersects with the Snowy and Murrumbidgee rivers where their stories and song-lines interlink with the riverbeds and surrounding landscape.

The Wongalu people believe the release of high flows will release Waawii the water spirit and initiate a spiritual connection back to the Snowy River and the surrounding landscape in the Monero.

The highest flow rate will occur at Jindabyne Dam from 8am to 4pm on Wednesday 17 September 2014 and will be equivalent to 3,689 megalitres per day for the eight hour period.

For the remainder of Wednesday 17 September 2014, the flow rate will be equivalent to 2,322 megalitres per day. The flow rate will drop back to 1,073 megalitres per day on Thursday 18 September 2014.

The environmental changes from this release are expected to be greatest between the

dam wall to the junction with the Delegate River. However, the pulse will be noticeable down to the estuary in Victoria.

It is expected to see the river water level at Dalgety rise to 1.38 m. This is one of four secondary high flow events for 2014, with water released from the cone valves at Jindabyne Dam. It is important to note that water released at Jindabyne will take about six hours to reach Dalgety Weir at this flow rate. Landholders downstream of the Jindabyne Dam are advised to take all necessary precautions with stock, fencing and property.

The NSW Office of Water will work with the NSW State Emergency Service and Bureau of Meteorology to provide information to the community regarding the management of this release should weather conditions warrant.

Cooma Probus Club learns about court house history

The speaker at the Cooma Probus Club this month was Rhondda Breneger, the Registrar at the Cooma Courthouse, and we were entertained and informed by her description of the history of the courthouse and of her work in this important public activity.

She explained that, while courthouses may be the most impressive buildings in many country towns, not everybody was happy to visit them even though some folk just don’t seem to be able to keep away from them, adding that “like a lot of businesses, we do have our regulars that help keep us in a job�.

Cooma court has two permanent staff, the Registrar and a deputy registrar, who is also the Bombala Local Court Registrar.

Cooma is on the Queanbeyan Magistrates Circuit but Bombala falls within the Bateman’s Bay circuit.

Cooma court sits six days per month, of which two are list days and four are defended days.

Additional courts are occasionally rostered to facilitate the earlier hearing of defended cases.

The power to convene criminal and civil courts was granted Governor Philip in 1787, prior to his sailing for the new colony.

The first paid magistrate was D’Arcy Wentworth, who emigrated, possibly to escape being convicted of highway robbery, to serve in the role of assistant surgeon to the new colony.

Courts of Petty Sessions, forerunners to Local Courts, were formally established in NSW in 1832, and Cooma’s court was established in 1847.

The first District Court in Cooma was held on September 2nd, 1859,

and the first Quarter Sessions Court, dealing with criminal cases, on 29th February, 1860. The present court house, designed by James Barnet, then Colonial Architect for the colony, was erected in 1887, and the court registry building, in vale Street, was built in 1990 to provide improved accommodation for the Registry staff and Sheriff’s Officer.

Many of the functions that were performed by the Clerk of Petty Sessions have now been transferred to other Departments or Authorities, but the duties still carried out by the Registrar include procedural and quasi judicial responsibilities as Registrar of the Local Court, issuing warrants of apprehension, conducting Bail Courts, considering applications for search warrants and APOs. She is the registrar under the Family Law Act and for the Children’s Court; she is an Assistant Coroner, Chamber Registrar and JP, and is also an Authorised Marriage Celebrant and is Agent for the NSW Trustee and Guardian (formerly the Public Trustee).

We were given information on the conduct of Local Courts.

Including the fact that civil matters up to $100,000 are dealt with by them, and learned of procedures relating to prosecutions, differences between guilty and not guilty pleas, briefs of evidence and the calling of witnesses, and the conduct of Coronial matters. Since changes to the Coroner’s Act in 2010, Coronial matters are required to be reported to Magistrate Coroners, and Registrars at Local Courts are now appointed as Assistant Coroners who aid the Magistrate Coroner in the administration of the Act.

Autumn Leaves spirit captured in art

The civil jurisdiction of the local court deals with the issue of Statements of Claim, well known in the past as a ‘bluey�, and the endorsement of Judgment Debts.

The upper limit for civil matters is $100,000 with debts under $10,000 being dealt with in the Small Claims division, rather than the General Division.

The overriding purpose of the Civil Procedure Act and of rules of court, is to facilitate the just, quick and cheap resolution of the real issues in the proceedings.

Other duties of the Registrar of the court include witnessing Powers of Attorney and Enduring Guardianship documents. Conducting interviews to assess whether the person executing the documents has the capacity to understand the documents. Powers of Attorney confer financial decision making upon the Attorney, and an Enduring Guardian confers life style decision making powers on the Guardian.

And last but not least is the performing of marriage ceremonies which can be as elaborate or as simple as the couple want. And which can involve serious and comic happenings.

The number of questions following the talk again showed how much interest the subject raised, and we thank you, Rhondda, for your obvious diligence in preparing the subject matter and delivering it with clarity and humour.

And do not forget, readers, you only have to be retired to join the Probus Club and become an Active Retiree; and if you are male and interested, the people to ring are Bob Weston, on 6452 7008, or Derek Watson, on 6457 1321.

Pictured above, members of the Autumn Leaves group who worked alongside local artists Jan Owens and Sallianne Greentree to create the mosaic pictured below. The mosaic was officially unveiled on Wednesday morning by Snowy River Shire Council Mayor, John Cahill. It is intended that the mosaic will eventually sit on the external wall of a renovated Berridale toilet block. Autumn Leaves meets each Wednesday morning.

NPWS shares brumby statistics

The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) has defended a decision to share draft segments of data from an aerial survey with brumby advocate groups, despite the negative publicity that has subsequently arisen.

The information was shared at a meeting in Tumut on August 30 between the Brumby Advocate Coalition and representatives of NPWS. The full draft report is yet to be released, pending review by all members of the Australian Alps Liaison Committee, which consists of parks under ACT, Victorian and NSW government management, and is the body that commissioned the report.

An opinion piece claiming that these figures cast previous brumby population data released by NPWS into disrepute was written by the Brumby Advocate Coalition and published in this newspaper two weeks ago (‘Not so many brumbies’).

NPWS Director of Metropolitan and Mountains Region,

Tom Bagnat, said that the decision was taken in the interest of transparency.

“It’s an open process. We want to share information as soon as possible.

“The wild horse groups are an important stakeholder, one of many,” Mr Bagnat said.

The figures shared during the meeting related to a brumby population count in the northern and southern sections of Kosciuszko National Park (KNP).

The aerial survey used to collate the data occurred during April and May this year.

According to Mr Bagnat, it showed growth rates of approximately 17 per cent in the north and 6 per cent in the south of KNP over the previous population survey, which was conducted in 2009.

The overall estimate of KNP’s wild horse population in this most recent survey is 6000 horses.

An independent Technical Reference Group, consisting

Think F.A.S.T if you suspect a stroke There are many reasons why you should think F.A.S.T if you suspect either yourself or someone you know is experiencing the signs of a stroke.

Stroke is Australia’s second biggest killer after coronary heart disease and a leading cause of disability. Unfortunately one in six people will have a stroke in their lifetime. It kills more women than breast cancer and more men than prostate cancer.

This week is Stroke Awareness Week and NSW Ambulance would like to remind the community why it is so crucial to recognise the signs.

NSW Health has invested in a Stroke Reperfusion Program. This means that if someone gets medical treatment quickly, it is possible for the effects of a stroke to be reversed.

Working in collaboration with each other; the NSW Agency of Clinical Innovation (ACI), the Ministry of Health (MoH) and NSW Ambulance are able to effectively treat patients quicker than ever before.

In many cases patients identified by paramedics as having an acute stroke are able to be transported directly to an Acute Thrombolytic Centre (ATC) for potential thrombolysis. A third of the acute stroke patients transported by NSW Ambulance do so under the thrombolytic pathway, meaning they may be administered a clot busting medication at hospital following pre notification by paramedics and having a medical waiting for the ambulance arrival.

Bruce Paddock, Head of Stroke Services at NSW Ambulance said “thanks to advances in modern medicine, the quicker you call Triple Zero (000) at the first signs of a stroke, the quicker you might be able to receive medical treatment that may prevent any lasting disability.”

“As part of Stroke Awareness Week, I encourage everybody to become familiar with the F.A.S.T test – a simple way of recognising the signs of a stroke,” Mr Paddock said.

The F.A.S.T test helps you recognise a sudden onset of the following observations: • FACE - Check their face. Has their mouth drooped- Yes? • ARMS - Can they lift both arms - No? • SPEECH - Is their speech slurred - Yes? Do they understand you - No? • TIME - Time is critical. If you see any of these signs, dial Triple Zero (000) immediately and ask for Ambulance.

For more information on the work of the ACI Stroke Network visit: www.aci.health.nsw.gov.au/stroke NSW Ambulance stroke fact sheet: http://www.ambulance.nsw.gov.au/Media/ docs/090730stroke-fd342cc4-1532-44ed-b496b28c34e30c29-0.pdf

of “5 – 7 relevant wild horse experts independent of the NPWS” will now be established, according to Mr Bagnat.

This panel will review the data contained within the draft population survey and make recommendations on population control methods.

Further public consultation, including engagement with brumby advocacy groups, is expected to occur within the following months, with Mr Bagnat stating that a field trip of relevant areas of KNP will be offered to interested parties.

The NPWS has created a website called Protecting the Snowies where members of the public can access the report extract or other brumby-related information.

Additionally, individuals can participate in an online forum, which discusses the review of the Wild Horse Management Plan for the Kosciuszko National Park.

Cooma Rotary Markets The Cooma Rotary markets will be held again on Sunday September 21.

There will be our usual variety of stalls, plus live music from the Cooma Town band, clothing, plants, produce, food, books barbecue, bric a brac, poultry, jewellery and much more.

Cooma Rotary Club is organising a duck race in the Cooma Creek on Sunday October 19, commencing at 12pm from the Commissioner street causeway to the Sharp Street bridge.

Tickets are available at the fabric Salon, Leading Edge Electronics,

Cooma Visitors Centre or at the Cooma Rotary Markets in September and October.

There will be $800 in cash and gift voucher prizes.

Proceeds will assist Community Chest funds.

On Saturday November 1, Rotary proposes to hold a special market to coincide with the National Busking Competition and Snowy Ride.

Rotary Market enquiries should be directed to 0437 601 350.

Raglan Gallery working bee Many volunteer hands and feet were put to work on Saturday at the Raglan Gallery.

Bob Coles led a team of farmers to create a new pathway through the rear garden and channel water away from the historic buildings.

Like an eccentric catwalk parade in work boots all the volunteers - from over 80 to under 8 - then stamped the gravel down.

The path leads from the onsite parking to the courtyard around the Potters’ Shed verandah.

Mary Ziesak assembled a female crew to create order in the Potters’

Shed, liberating valuable storage space for the plethora of plinths the gallery uses.

Roof gutters were cleaned, extra plantings made in the garden, and office files sorted.

The last pavers were laid in the courtyard, the ideal spot on a clear spring day for Joey Herbert’s splendid lunch.

The Board thanks the members, spouses, families and other volunteers who achieved so much, and the visitors who were not deterred by grimy faces!

Men from Snowy River Group September outing Stan Dingeldei September 2, not very good weather by any means, cold with drizzle and no sun but the enthusiasm was evident as the Men From Snowy River Group settled down in the bus at Berridale for their monthly outing.

We started about 8.30am and there were 26 on board as we headed for Dalgety.

Through the town then on to the Snowy River Way and we headed out to have a look at the Boco Rock wind farm, a very big project

underway, 67 wind turbines all told with 16 already operational.

There will be 33 kms of new on site roads formed within the complex, all up cost $361 million.

Next stop, morning tea at the Bungarby Bush Fire Brigade, a round of applause was given to Coral and Max Caldwell for their trouble.

Ross Thompson who knows this country very well gave us a run down of some of the history.

Ross is quite a gifted poet and gave us a hilarious rendition of two of his poems “The City Girl and the

Eagle” and “How the Hall got a New Loo” every one had a good laugh.

Ross should be nominated to appear on “Australia’s Got Talent”.

We then had a tour of the old Bungarby hall which is adjacent to the fire shed.

It was one of those country halls that reeked of history - it wasn’t hard to imagine the dancing and frivolity that took place in days long gone.

Off again, the next stop was the Russian Orthodox Convent which is situated in a most beautiful part of the country, 800 acres with magnificent views.

The Russian Orthodox is a very old religious order.

This particular convent was established in 1999 and appears to be going very well.

We were shown around

by Mother Christina who is one of nine women who look after the convent.

They have a small Chapel, inside it is all lined with timber, beautiful paintings and all the special things that go with these places.

New quarters are being constructed - all brick

cottages which should be very comfortable with the wonderful serenity of it all.

After everyone had seen it all it was back on the bus and back to Dalgety Hall where lunch was served to us, a nice baked dinner with all the vegetables, gravy etc. and desserts - what a meal!

A big thank you to Meagan and her helpers - no one ever leaves these get togethers hungry, that’s for sure.

A very interesting day, the weather could have been better but

The Men From Snowy River Group meet on the 1st Tuesday of the month and Men’s Lunch Club meet on the 3rd Monday of the month. For more information or to book transport if you would like to attend our Men’s Groups please call 6451-1059.

Erin Louise

Charlotte Thorn (Charly) Charly was born right here in Cooma. Her parents have lived and worked in the Cooma Ski Industry for many years.

Charly’s target audience for her designs at this stage in her career are for girls just like herself, teen to mature.

Charly gets her inspiration from a variety of different places, usually unique colour combinations, shapes or the fabric itself. She also likes to design for a particular event or season.

You would be very surprised to know that Charly is only 15 and in year 10! When Charly is not designing, she is going to school. Designing is what she does in her spare time. It is her dream to finish school and continue her dream of being a full time designer. Charly most admires the opportunities The Community Chest gives to our locals.

The very first thing Charly designed was a dress made from paper. She was four (4) at the time and she cut out the shapes and sticky taped the pieces together to create a dress.

Charly is currently not designing to sell.

However, please follow her progress as a designer on Instagram @chrosedesigns.

You can contact Charly at: chrosedesigns@gmail.com

didn’t deter the men from enjoying themselves.

Thank you Lee and staff from Community Services for organising another fine outing.

You are invited to join us!

Come and celebrate with an evening of fine food, cocktails, good company and a visual feast of our local fashion designer talent!

Date: Saturday 18th October 2014 Time: 6.30pm Place: Cooma Railway Station Dress: Cocktail Cost: $40 standing $60 seated Tickets will be available from 22 September 2014 from the Fabric Salon and The Cooma Visitors Centre.

Proudly brought to you by

Erin was born in Cooma and lived here until she finished school. After school she travelled and ended up in Perth, where she studied Fashion Design at the West Australian Institute for Fashion. After graduating and working in the fashion industry in Perth she wanted to move back to Cooma and the Monaro.

Erin’s designs are for the confident, modern woman, eco-enthusiasts who want stylish, quality garments made with natural fibres.

Erin gets her inspiration from growing up on the Monaro and her experience living in Western Australia, from the Outback’s red sands and crystal blue oceans to the eucalyptus and wild flowers of the mountains.

Erin loves her sport, especially netball. Since moving back to Cooma, she has re-joined her old club and has been enjoying coaching both a representative team and Under 14’s. She is becoming more involved and wants to help develop future netballers in our region.

You would be surprised to know that she loves wool!

She loves working with it as a medium and endeavours to promote Australian Merino wool within the Australian and international fashion industry. Most people probably think of wool as comfortable and warm, but aren’t aware of wool’s amazing sustainable properties.

Having grown up in a small town and living in a city, Erin has realised the importance of being part of a community. There are so many opportunities within this region that perhaps people don’t realise, like utilising the empty buildings and preserving the town’s history.

“As a community it is up to us to look after our town, and encourage residents to become involved and enjoy the town they have chosen to live in” You can contact Erin on: email: erin.louise1686@gmail.com

Club grants up for grabs Claire’s Carousel Organisations in the Monaro are encouraged to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) for a share in up to $12 million funding under the ClubGRANTS Category 3 program, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro said today.

“EOI applications for the 2014/2015 funding round to help build or upgrade community facilities and infrastructure is now open until 15 September 2014,” Mr Barilaro said.

“In this upcoming funding round, Category 3 grants will focus on providing funding to develop or enhance infrastructure facilities in local communities.

“I urge the community to take up this terrific opportunity in this ClubGRANTS Category 3 round to develop and enhance our sport, recreational and cultural infrastructure.”

Minister for Hospitality, Gaming and Racing, Troy Grant encouraged projects that responded to an identified community need, demonstrated particular benefit to regional or remote NSW and/or for disadvantaged communities to apply.

“Community organisations in NSW will be able to build or upgrade facilities and projects that can demonstrate particular benefits for disadvantaged communities will be highly regarded,” said Minister Grant.

“Those eligible to apply for grants of between $100,000 and $500,000 include local government, nonprofit organisations, and non-trading cooperatives with facilities such as

sports grounds, recreational parks, a community skate park or BMX course, children’s play areas, a music performance space, a community art studio, a local museum, or gallery.”

Successful Expression of Interest applicants will be invited to submit a full application.

ClubsNSW CEO Anthony Ball said through ClubGRANTS, registered clubs this year delivered more than $100 million to worthy causes and local communities.

“ClubGRANTS is a successful program that has been running for more than 15 years, and now thanks to ClubGRANTS Category 3, clubs can help fund crucial community infrastructure and services for local communities across the state,” Mr Ball said.

An Applicant Information Pack providing information on eligibility criteria, application processes and assessment criteria for the ClubGRANTS Category 3 2014/15 funding round is available at http://www.olgr.nsw.gov.au/ ClubGRANTSCategory3/.

The Expression of Interest Form will be available from Monday 1 September at https:// o l g r. s m a r t y g r a n t s . c o m . a u / clubgrantsEOI2014 and must be lodged using the online form by no later than 5pm on Monday, 15 September 2014. There will be no extension to this deadline.

CAN YOU HELP? Staff at Cooma Library are asking for photos taken of The Festival of the Snows which began in Cooma in 1957 and ended in the late 1960s (what a shame)!

The Library is sure many residents of Cooma will have photos of this great event and would like to borrow some for an Exhibition of Festival of the Snows to be held at Library from October 17 to 31.

This Festival was part of Cooma’s heritage and featured multicultural floats, bands etc and was a successful method of raising money for community needs.

NEVER SMILE AT A CROCODILE This advice was given to Marilyn Watson, a very popular resident of Cooma (ex Numeralla) who has returned from a month away up North.

Her holiday included a visit to Darwin and Kakadu National Park followed by two weeks with her son on Russel Island, Queensland and an overnight

stay at Surfers Paradise.

However the excitement began when she boarded a Qantas Boeing 707 in Sydney – she had not flown in a large plane before When the staff discovered this she was taken to the cockpit to sit with the pilot.

She told them she had just learned to drive an automatic car and was now piloting a jet.

We are pleased to have you back Marilyn.

2MNO GET TOGETHER Last Sunday 28 volunteer presenters from local 2MNO Radio got together to have a lunch at the Jade Palace.

Much catching up was done and Rosemarie Egidy, a very popular presenter for many years, was presented with a thank you card for all she does and a welcome back to the Station after much illness in her family.

Thank you to President John Gill for arranging such a happy occasion.

It’s not often presenters get a chance to socialise as each has their time and day on being on air and like ships in the night hardly see one another.

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

Winter is with us, as is the end of the financial year, and not to mention we have started the second half of 2014. Christmas creeps closer!

While this is traditionally a time to bury our heads & stay indoors out of the cold, it could also be an opportune time to look at reviewing your home loan, and financial situation.

Interest rates remain at record lows, with many Lenders offering rates under 5%, particularly for fixed terms. Some Lenders are also currently offering special deals for new loans and refinances.

So at this time of year, when you are starting to get your affairs sorted for the tax agent, consider whether you could benefit from a review of your current home or investment loan.

For those who are unhappy with returns on their cash investments, maybe it could be time to consider getting into the investment property market.

Whatever your situation is, I am happy to look at it with you, and offer suggestions or advice. If you are unsure of what your options are, I can give you some clarity.

If your needs are more related to financial planning, I can introduce you to Damian Toms, a very experienced and highly qualified financial planner. Damian travels to Cooma on a regular basis and is available for appointments at a time and place to suit you.

Low interest rates contribute to growing home loan demand The property market continues to go from strength to strength, with new data showing home loan demand crept slightly higher in July.

According to the latest Housing Finance data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 52,251 loans were approved in seasonally adjusted terms over the month of July – up 0.3 per cent from the 52,074 loans written last month.

While the number of loans approved for the construction of new dwellings slid 1.3 per cent over the month of July, the number of loans approved for the purchase of new dwellings and established dwellings both grew, climbing 0.5 and 0.6 per cent respectively.

And it wasn’t just the number of home loans approved that increased, with the total value of all loans written growing 2.7 per cent over the month in seasonally adjusted terms.

Mortgage Choice spokesperson Jessica Darnbrough said it wasn’t surprising to see a significant jump in the value of all loans written, as recent research from RP Data shows property prices climbed 1.6 per cent across the combined capital cities in July.

“According to the research conducted by RP Data, property values climbed in Sydney, Melbourne, Darwin and Canberra throughout the month of July,” she said.

“Melbourne led the pack, with the capital city recording a 3.7

per cent lift in property values over the month, closely followed by Darwin, which saw a 2.8 per cent increase in property values over the month.”

Ms Darnbrough said capital city dwelling values have trended higher since June 2012, with the combined capital cities recording 17.4 per cent growth in property values over this time.

“Since June 2012, Sydney has really proven itself to be a standout performer, with values moving almost 25 per cent higher,” she said.

“Darwin and Melbourne have also enjoyed incredible growth in property values, with the capital cities recording growth of 20.4 per cent and 18.5 per cent respectively.”

But while some capital cities continue to perform better than others in terms of value growth, Ms Darnbrough said broadly speaking, the Australian property market is performing incredibly well at the moment.

“The property market is proving attractive to buyers at present, with home loan approvals now hovering around all time highs.

“Moving forward, with interest rates still at all time lows, the property market should remain popular with Australians, which should result in strong demand for home loans.”

RBA fails to shock with latest rate decision showing confidence climbed 3.8 per cent in August to sit just 1.2 per cent below the pre-Budget reading,” she said.

“In addition, business confidence improved, reverting to its postelections highs, while business conditions rose to their highest level since early 2010.

“Finally, property values continue to climb, with recent research showing capital city dwelling values moved 4.2 per cent higher over the three months of winter. Sydney and Melbourne led the charge, with the capital cities recording dwelling value growth of 5 and 6.4 per cent respectively over the last three months.”

Ms Darnbrough said this spate of positive data suggests the economy is in good shape – providing the Reserve Bank with no impetus to change its current monetary policy setting.

“Moving forward, it is likely the Reserve Bank will continue to leave rates on hold. While new data emerging suggests the Australian economy is performing strongly, the high Australian dollar and rising unemployment woes will force the Board to 2 BOLARO STREET, COOMA (COOMA CAR CLUB) take a ‘wait and see’ approach to rates,” she said.

The Reserve Bank of Australia has erred on the side of caution once again, opting to leave the official cash rate on hold for the 13th consecutive month.

At its Board meeting earlier today, the Reserve Bank announced it would leave the cash rate at the historically low setting of 2.5 per cent for yet another month.

Mortgage Choice spokesperson Jessica Darnbrough said the Reserve Bank’s decision to leave the cash rate on hold was an obvious one as recent data shows the Australian economy is currently tracking along quite nicely.

Wednesday September 17, 2014

A celebration of trout Monaro Acclimatisation Society formed Under the recently passed Fisheries and Oyster Farms Act provision was made for the Governor to declare as acclimatisation districts specified areas in the State within whose boundaries trout fry or young, or mature salmon or trout, had been or were being liberated, placed, or transplanted.

Provision was further made for the registration of Acclimatisation Societies whose objects were wholly or mainly the hatching, rearing distribution or protection of salmon or trout.

Such Acclimatisation Societies under the Act become entitled to a share of the license fees and penalties collected by the Department in respect of trout and salmon fishing.

In order that local fisherman should have the opportunity to form a local Acclimatisation Society, and by doing so accept certain responsibilities and receive certain benefits, the Cooma and District Chamber of Commerce convened a public meeting which was held in the office of Messrs. Chaplin and Holgate on Monday night last.

At the outset Ald. G. W. Healey, President of the Chamber of Commerce, took the chair.

Outside areas were represented by Messrs. A. P. Weston and A. F. Rose (Jindabyne), Rowan C. Ross and J. Gaden (Bungarby), F. King (Maffra), H. A. and C. Rose and E. Green (Kybean), W. V. Herbert and L. Freebody (Adaminaby), H. Furner (Mittagong) and Cooma men were J. Arthur, H. H. Solomon, J. A. Rolfe, N. Dykes, F. J. Dunstan, N. C. Smith, W. Clarson, J. Molloy, G. Chalker, A. Bookallil, J. Rohr, H. A. and R. Dulhunty, Robert

Ross and W. Craigie.

Apologies for absence were tendered from Messrs. P. Jonas (Bombala), A. H. Jeffreys (Delegate), L. Osborne (Adaminaby), C. Massey (Bobundara), E. H. Quodling and J. Mack.

Reasons for Formation The Chairman explained that the Chamber of Commerce had called the meeting to give those interested the opportunity to form an Acclimatisation Society, and the Chamber would be prepared to give what support it could to such a Society. The Fisheries Act recently passed stifled, to an extent, efforts that had previously been carried out voluntarily, and the Acclimatisation Society could take over that work.

The matter of forming the Society depended on those present, the good attendance giving every promise of success.

Mr J. Arthur said that he and Mr J. Gaden had received communications from the Department and the N.S.W. Rod Fishers’ Society, in Sydney, giving reasons for the formation of an Acclimatisation Society in Cooma. Last year the Government had seen fit to impose a license fee on trout fishing, the fee meeting with support in some quarters and disapproval in others. As a result the Department had collected £600 in license fees. The Department realised that some of this amount should go to the Societies which were prepared to take on the job of restocking the trout streams. He understood that £300 was to be allocated to three distinct Societies provided they were properly formed and carried on. The

Armidale and District Acclimatisation Society was already formed and had been allotted £100 or its equivalent in fry, etc.

The Monaro Acclimatisation District included the Counties of Goulburn, Wynyard, Buccleuch, Beresford, Dampier, Selwyn, Wallace, Wellesley and Auckland, extending from Moruya on the coast to Jugiong, Wagga, Albury and Cape Howe. The establishment of a Monaro District Acclimatisation Society would do a lot of good for district fishing. Cooma was the natural centre of this trout fishing area and trout matters could be controlled better from Cooma than from elsewhere.

Mr Gaden read some of his correspondence with Mr E. H. Maas, who strongly recommended the formation of the Society.

At the suggestion of Mr Rowan Ross the rules of the Society, as suggested by the Department, were read.

Mr Arthur pointed out that the old Cooma and District Rod Fishers’ Society had been formed more or less with the same objects, including the maintaining of the old Hatchery and the distribution of ova.

Society Formed Mr Gaden stressed the practicability of the suggested rules, and endorsed Mr Arthur’s opinions as to the value to the district of forming the Society. Apparently the only active Society at present was the Armidale one. Its members were very active and they were doing good work with hatch boxes. They were catering, not only for their

own fishing, but for visitors. Monaro should be the Mecca of Trout fishermen, and the Snowy River was one of the finest trout streams in the world.

He strongly recommended formation of the Society, and the adoption of rules along the lines suggested.

He moved that the Monaro Acclimatisation Society be formed for the Monaro Acclimatisation area in accordance with the Fisheries and Oyster Farms Act. Seconded by Mr F. King.

Mr Solomon thought they should know definitely the provisions of the Act and the responsibilities they were taking on. There were other fish besides trout and salmon, and the Society might have to take over the control.

Mr A. F. Rose said that he had read the Act. There were separate portions for different kinds of fishing and they were working under the Trout and Salmon section.

Mr Solomon expressed himself satisfied.

The motion was carried.

Mr A. F. Rose was appointed first Chairman of the Society on the nomination of Mr Solomon, seconded by Mr Arthur.

Mr Rose, at Mr Healey’s request, took the chair. He thanked members for the honour accorded him, which he greatly appreciated. He had certainly been interested in trout fishing for many years, as his father was before him. He was sure that by co operation between members the Society would do good work.

GRASSROOTS 30 NSW Farmers welcomes tenure Steers sell to $590 at Cooma sale Cooma Associated Agents yarded a small HEIFERS neutral approach to weeds number of cattle in a mixed quality yarding last C FELKEL, MLP, 3, 187, 358, $670 Wednesday September 17, 2014

NSW Farmers has welcomed the NSW Government’s response to implement a number of changes to the way weeds are managed in NSW. The recommendations made by the Natural Resources Commission of NSW were mostly accepted by the Department of Primary Industries.

NSW Farmers Conservation and Resource Management Committee chair Mitchell Clapham said farmers had been pushing for substantial change to weed management in NSW. This included moving to a tenure neutral approach and a consistent, strategic

application of control measures across the NSW landscape.

Mr Clapham said: “One of the most significant contributors to the growing weed problem in NSW is the inconsistent approach to weed management across public and private land. We currently have a system where farmers have legal obligations to eradicate certain weeds and adjoining publically held land is often held to a different standard.

“Farmers’ extensive weed eradication efforts are severely hampered by their public land manager neighbours as weeds easily spread across the fence. Weeds do not respect property boundaries and so like

many issues across the landscape, we need collaboration and consistency.

“Landholders across NSW will be relieved to see that obligations will now be consistent. We believe this will assist in reducing the cost burden to farmers.

“The new framework will also be more localised – meaning coordinated regional planning and local delivery, with appropriate state wide consistency.

“These plans needs to be strategic and they need to be appropriately resourced.

We look forward to working with government to tease out the detail and see some change on the ground,” Mr Clapham concluded.

Glenwood Merinos Open Day Farmers seek Prominent Australian wool industry figures, Charlie Massy (OAM) and Warwick Rolfe will be the guest speakers at Glenwood Merinos annual Open Day on Friday September 26.

Charlie Massy has had a long involvement in the wool industry and with sheep breeding having founded renowned Merino stud Severn Park in 1975.

He has published several books on the wool industry including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Breaking the Sheepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Backâ&#x20AC;? which was shortlisted for the Prime Ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Literary Award in 2013. Massy has also served on the boards of the International Wool Secretariat and the Australian Wool Research and Promotion Organisation.

Having been in the wool industry for more than 30 years, Warwick Rolfeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long held dream of taking beautiful Australian Merino wool from the sheepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back through to

a finished garment came to fruition Australian sourced and made, high when Woolerina was established in quality Merino clothing label which is manufactured in Forbes.

Norm Smith of Glenwood Merinos said that he was honoured to have two industry legends speaking at the Open Day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Charlie and Warwick have made an amazing contribution to the Australian wool industry over the years with their passion, expertise and commitment. We are really lucky to have them in the same place at the same time to talk about what will drive the future success of the Merino industry,â&#x20AC;?

Mr Smith said.

Entry is FREE and lunch will be provided. Glenwood Merinos will have its 2014 Sale Team on display plus a range of Stud ewes, sires and hoggets.

When: Friday 26 September 2014 Where: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Glenwoodâ&#x20AC;? Woolshed, 2005. Since then he and his family Twelve Mile Road, Wellington have developed a world class,

Rural women encouraged to enter top award NSW Minister for Primary Industries, Katrina Hodgkinson, has encouraged rural women to enter the prestigious 2015 Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC) NSW-ACT Rural Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award.

Ms Hodgkinson said the 2015 awards are now open to women in NSW and the ACT involved in primary industries and natural resource management who have a desire, commitment and leadership potential to make an even greater contribution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The award is an amazing opportunity for rural women who have a vision or idea they want to progress because it provides financial assistance, mentoring, resources and support through an extensive network of business and community leaders,â&#x20AC;? Ms Hodgkinson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I encourage anyone with a commitment to making a difference

to their industry and the community to enter the RIRDC Rural Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award, which is now one of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top awards for rural women. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The RIRDC Rural Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award is now in its 15th year and during this time we have discovered more than 200 extremely focused women who are driving innovation and building resilience within primary industries and their rural communities.â&#x20AC;?

Ms Hodgkinson said four finalists will be selected in NSW-ACT with the winner to receive a $10,000 bursary and participation in the RIRDC Australian Institute of Company Directorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; course. The three finalists will receive $1000 to further develop their vision or build their leadership and business management skills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winner, Pip Job, from Cumnock in Central West NSW, is a leader in natural resource

management and has encouraged thousands of individuals to embrace sustainable primary production,â&#x20AC;? Ms Hodgkinson said.â&#x20AC;?

Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runner-up Edwina Beveridge is continuing to lead a team of 30 people on her piggery in Young in south-western NSW and has shown fearless industry leadership, particularly in areas of animal welfare and sustainability.â&#x20AC;?

return of drought rebates NSW Farmers is urging the State Government to match the Queensland Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $30,000 indrought support measures for transport assistance and water infrastructure.

Walcha farmer and NSW Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; drought spokesperson Ms Sonia Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe said the impact of drought had continued beyond June when many of the state assistance measures concluded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;State Government assistance, like the transport rebate, has been a huge help to our drought affected farmers and has ensured local food and fibre production continues until conditions improve,â&#x20AC;? Ms Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We recognise there is still some support for farmers and rural communities at the moment through the Federal Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national drought program announced in July. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, water infrastructure grants have been extremely useful and support drought preparedness for the long term future of farm businesses.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Transport rebates are also immensely useful to farmers in the short term providing in-drought and recovery assistance and in many cases are vital for livestock producers to keep core breeding stock for future production by having the ability to buy in feed.â&#x20AC;?

NSW Farmers recently met with the NSW Premier Mike Baird on the issue of drought policy following the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent drought tour to the north west with the Premier, Primary Industries Minister Katrina Hodgkinson and Minister for Natural Resources Kevin Humphries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Premier has now seen the impact of drought in the North West and visited a property where drought preparedness work had been carried out,â&#x20AC;? Ms Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We urge the State Government to match the Queensland Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in-drought support measures. They are not only appropriate but are also widely supported by rural and regional communities in NSW,â&#x20AC;? she concluded.

Schute Bell wool report After last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong performance the market had somewhat of a cooling down.

M e r i n o fleece levels were barely maintained during the week with the influx of tender types heavily discounted again, whilst the limited selection of better style types continue to be well supported.

Skirtings were actually dearer for the week and look expensive compared to the dollars being paid for their fleece counterparts. 31,666 bales were sold nationally for the week with a passed in rate of 14%.

Major buyers included Techwool, Fox & Lillie and PJ Morris with the top four taking almost 50% of the Merino fleece offering.

This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market was actually considerably cheaper in US dollars with the Aussie dollar falling against the US. Whilst a drop in exchange rates should assist the wool market in the medium term it may be a case of exporters watching and waiting in the hope that the currency continues to slide in the short term.

Forward markets remain inactive with growers unwilling to sell at the buyers priceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s which are at considerable discount to the current physical.

National offeringâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jump above 40,000 bales for the next three weeks.

This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales 46,215 bales are expected to be on offer nationally with 11,015 in Sydney. Schute Bell, Wool Auctions, Goddard & Monaro Wool are selling on Thursday 18th September.

Beef Australia Chairman Blair Angus said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Beef Connections program has been named in honour of the late Graeme Acton, who was not only renowned for being one of the leading producers this country has seen, but also for supporting young people in entering the sector and generously sharing with them his extensive knowledge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the same way that Graemeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy is living on through his remarkable positive influence on countless people in the cattle industry, we hope that this program will also benefit the wider beef community as it will enable participants to become effective future leaders in their own right.â&#x20AC;?

Successful applicants will participate in the Building Your Future Conference â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a three-day personal development workshop to be held in February 2015 where participants will develop a project to be worked on with the support of their mentor.

Participants will have access to monthly webinars and one-onone follow-up sessions to provide assistance with their personal development projects and an opportunity to share learning experiences and success stories.

Beef Connections is an initiative of the Beef Australia 2015 Next Generation committee and is being supported by Westpac Agribusiness, which saw a need to support the acquisition and

retention of talented young people in the beef industry.

W e s t p a c Agribusiness is proud to be a supporting partner of the Graeme Acton Beef Connections program. The program embodies everything Graeme Acton believed in and will ensure his legacy continues long into the future via the investment that is being made in our next generation of agribusiness leaders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under traditional corporate structures, career development, mentoring and coaching are all critical elements to ensure effective professional development of all people within a business,â&#x20AC;?

General Manager Westpac Agribusiness Steve Hannan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is hoped that by linking young industry participants with an experienced industry leader, they will establish a personal and professionally relevant relationship that will grow over time and help guide the young person through the course of their career in coming years,â&#x20AC;?

Mr Hannan said.

The mentoring program will occur between February 2015 and 2016, with all participants to be brought together in person during Beef Australia 2015. â&#x20AC;˘ M o r e information and application forms are available at w w w. b e e f a u s t r a l i a . com.au/learn/ beef-connections/.

Searl, Prakotasung win shield District bowlers AGM Cooma Golf report by Garry Atkinson Last week at Cooma Golf Club saw some hot golf on Saturday and on Sunday with the 36hole Spring Shield up for grabs.

All competition days were in near perfect golfing conditions.

All in all a very busy week of golf with the Cottontails Cup on this Sunday coming.

Saturday saw round one of the 4BBB Spring Shield.

Our winners on the day were Brian Searl and Prawitt Prakotasung with a fine 46 stableford points from Jeff Burgess and Tony Monday on 45.

Geoff Bohringer hit a great shot to take the nearest the pin on the ninth and Mark Rainsford continued his accurate form to win the 17th.

On Sunday Cooma Golf Club saw round two of the Spring Shield played.

There was plenty of pressure on the leaders and in the end Jeff Burgess and Tony Monday took out the coveted trophy with a fine 89 points (43 on Sunday) from Doug Parker and

Frank McKnight on a long countback.

Individual team winners on Sunday were Norm Marshall and Terry Johnston with a fine 46 points.

Longest drive in A grade was Brian Searl, B grade Mike Introna and C grade Doug Parker.

Nearest the pin on the ninth was won by Prawitt Prakotasung and on the 17th Richard Hanna hit a shot really close.

Wednesday saw a single medley stableford contested in three grades. A grade winner was Mal Crockett with 36 points.

B grade went to Prawitt Prakotasung with 39 points. C grade was won by John Harris on a countback with 32 points.

Ball winners went down to Frank McKnight with 32 points. Nearest the pin on both the ninth went to Steve Young and the 17th was taken out by Mr Accurate – Tony Monday.

On Saturday next week we have an individual stableford with the Cottontails Cup on Sunday.

Wednesday is an individual medley stableford.

See you on the greens.

The AGM of the SMDWA was held on July 7.

Office bearers for 2014-15 are as follows: President L Snell; Vice Presidents H Walker and M Tucker; Secretary/Treasurer F Richards; Match Committee D Turner, B Corby, T.Sanders; Publicity / Historian L West; Patron E Rankin.

The District would like to congratulate Cooma and Adaminaby for their great achievement in winning the grade three and four pennants this season.

Adaminaby and Cooma teams travelled to Nelson Bay to play in the 2014 State Play-offs last week.

Although Cooma No 4 were unable to win their section both teams put in a great effort and to be able to experience the comraderie and sportsmanship of being able to represent their Club at this level against

the best bowlers from all over the State.

This an inspiration for other bowlers to enter in future competitions in the coming season to represent their club and district.

Adaminaby girls were overwhelmed by not only being section winners without dropping a game in the No 3’s but going on to win the runners-up flag in the finals play-offs - 9 points 12 to Mt Lewis on 9 points 14.

A bit disappointing but what a great effort and a wonderful achievement considering the miserable conditions they had to play in on the first two days with two replacement players due to illness and went up without a reserve or Manager.

Well done and congratulations to all the girls you have done your Clubs and Monaro District proud.

Cooma Cycle Club AGM brings in new faces At the AGM of the Cooma Cycle Club held on Tuesday 12th August, Mark Robertson succeeded Peter Davis as President, Kevin Carlson took over the role of social secretary from Fiona Blyton and John Sim is now the publicity officer, taking over from Wouter Vochteloo.

Ongoing committee members are George Javurek as Treasurer and Lyndon Branscomb is the Secretary.

Cooma Cycle club has a small membership but is very active with regular rides during the week and on weekends.

Every Monday and Thursday morning sees a group of riders leave from the corner of Church road and the Snowy Mountains Highway for a social ride ending with a coffee stop in town.

Each Saturday afternoon, an extended ride takes a variety of routes ranging from 30 to 40 km and inevitably

finishes with a social coffee.

When daylight saving comes around, a Wednesday afternoon ride is a pleasant way to wind down after work.

During the year there are numerous events that members attend, including the Melbourne “around the bay in a day”, the MS Sydney to the Gong ride” and various challenge rides around Bright in Victoria and the Snowy challenge around Jindabyne in March.

There are also impromptu activities such as a mountain bike ride from Thredbo to Lake Crackenback Resort and for something different, a cross country ski day was held recently at Cabramurra.

The club welcomes new members and emphasises that all standards of riders are welcome to participate whether on road bikes, touring bikes or mountain bikes. Anyone wanting more information may contact the Publicity officer, John Sim, on 64521365.

Both throwers smashed their age group records.

Haley Jones (U/13), eclipsed the under 13 record previously held

by Brook Askell with 26.06m, which stood President Ben leads the Come and Try Day participants in a few for 14 years. Hayley warm-up exercises. extended the record out ACT Little Athletics Association. a 3.01m improvement on his old to 28.70m.

Hayley was also able to claim The old record was held by Alissa mark set earlier this year.

Nick was also able to claim the Girls U/14 Hammer Record as Rourke, set back in February the Under 16 men’s record in well with this distance, due to dual 1996 with heave of 28.24ms.

Nick Wassink (U/15), pushed the same way as Hayley did with registration between our centre’s affiliation with Athletics ACT and his U/15 records out to 43.16m, the dual registration. With the reclassification of the Hammer weights a few years ago, the weight came down from 4.5kg to 4kg. Nick’s coach, Quinton Stead, held the record with the old weight at 45.20m (1991).

Nick blasted his old record in the U/18 Hammer (5kg) with a massive heave of 37.87m.

Bill Elder Shield matches continue In the fourth round of the Bill Elder Shield the two previous undefeated players (Peter Harris and Ron Wainwright) were in losing teams.

They dropped to 10 points and join Alan Crowe and Leonie Snell on those points with Peter Harris still in front 10+42 followed by Leonie 10+32, Ron 10+29 and Alan 10+20.

Just two more playing days in this event with the next day being Wednesday October 8.

Last Saturday 22 bowlers enjoyed the best sunshine and a green running better than we have experienced for some time.

Keith Goodwin started out as a swinging lead but was soon joined by Bob Douglass to make up a game of triples.

Mark Buckley took Keith and Colin Roberson for his team whilst Neil McGregor had Bob and Peter Marsicano.

Mark’s team made a good start to lead 8/0 after four ends then dropped four shots which encouraged Neil’s team to outscore their opposition and trail by just one shot on end 10.

Unfortunately that was the only time they were close with Mark’s team going on to win 27/17.

Cheryl Meillon and John Schoon were in great form to lead Lorraine West and Richard Nichols 19/6 after 13 ends and then ran into a brick wall with Lorraine and Richard winning the

Bushpigs Awards for 2014

remaining eight ends and the contest 25/19.

Renate Winckel, Olga Jebbink and Geoff Venables had a small lead 12/10 over Max Butler, Margerita Zasso and Guilio D’Amico courtesy of five shots on end 11.

From that point it was all Renate, Olga and Geoff who went on to win 29/15. Mike Mannile, Daphne Buckley and Paul Cannell started well against Dawn Russell, Ron Wainwright and Denis Steinfort to be 9/9 on end nine, but then faltered and were only able to score six more shots whilst their opponents scored 14 to win 23/15.

Once again a bright sunny day for Sunday Bowls but only 12 players to enjoy it.

Mary Hilton (the only lady player for the day), Jack Sajina and Mark Buckley won the first four ends against Bob Douglass, Peter Marsicano and Ignazio Mondello and continued to dominate and lead 15/8 by end 13.

Two ends of three shots each to Ignazio’s Team put them back in the game trailing 14/15 on end 15.

Mark’s team then put on 14 shots to just two to run out winners 29/16.

Keith Goodwin, Peter Harris and Peter Caldwell won the first six ends against Steve Lapham, Paul Cannell and Tom Reed to lead 8/0 which they increased to 15/6 by end 13. Keith, Peter and Peter held off a late surge by Steve, Paul and Tom to get a win 19/12.

The Jindabyne Rugby Union Club celebrated yet another successful season in style at the Lake Jindabyne Hotel on Friday September 12.

The Lake Jindabyne Hotel Bushpigs had a rollercoaster of a year, coming third in the division two competition for ACT Monaro, and the Wild Brumby Distillery Miss Piggies also showed that they are improving each and every year, coming third in the Senior Womens division also.

Jindabyne produced an abundance of home grown talent with Tayla Stanford winning a gold medal at the Youth Olympics in China last month with the Australian Rugby 7’s Team, along with David Akkersdyk being awarded Monaro Player of the Year, and Matt Caldwell, Steven Rompannan, Josh Shortland, Ian Vagg, Jeremey Witherdren, and Liam Pepper all being selected to play in the Monaro Rugby Representative side.

The awards for the 2014 season went to Ian Vagg and Kerryn Burgess for Best Forwards, Bushpigs Captain Jake Roarty and Jessie Cullen for Best Backs, Rookie of the Year went to young guns Kurtis Atkinson and Julia Weber, and Most Improved Players were Tom Ashton and Kate Waterhouse.

The Coaches Awards for 2014 went to Issac Mew and Miss Piggies Captain Peta Cox.

Coolamatong golf news Sunday’s stableford for the men was won by Bill Quin with 40 points.

Runners up were Mark Lockyear, Cint Starr and Arthur Owen, nearest the pin went to Arthur Owen on the third, Pom Wheeldon on both the eighth and the 15th and Mark Lockyear on the 17th.

Wednesday’s winner was Ross Thompson with 39 points ahead of B Thomas, a visitor from Thredbo, on 37 points, Bill Quin was next on 35 followed by Roy Gabriel on 33.

No player hit the nearest pins.

Next weekend Sunday 21 is the Freebody Shield competition for the men. The three R’s Roger, Ross and Roy went to Bombala on Sunday representing the club at the Sandgreen

Championships. Roger was the only one to bring a trophy home.

For the ladies on Sunday the winner was Jan O’Halloran, runners up were Jenny O’Byrne, Carolyn O’Byrne, Lorraine Key, Robin Fletcher and Christa Waehrer.

Nearest the pin went to Jan. Wednesday’s winner was Jan O’Halloran, runners up were Jenny O’Byrne and Robin Fletcher, nearest the pin was won by Jenny.

Fillies win premiership in fine style Left: co-captains Anna Steel and Maree Ingram with their trophy; Right: the Cooma Fillies contingent; Below left: Jade Lee makes a strong run; Middle: Meg Bracher was named Best Player on the field; Right: Emma Sullivan gets a pass away.

The Cooma Fillies are the 2014 Leaguetag Premiers, following their win on Sunday, 1610 against the Bega Chicks.

The Fillies and Chicks maintain a fierce rivalry and it was only fitting that these two sides met in the final match yet again.

The Chicks went into the game buoyed by the 2-0 defeat of the Fillies in the Major SemiFinal, but the Fillies knew that two points was not going to be enough to win this game and were determined to win the first 10 minutes and set the tone of the game.

The Fillies kicked off and following an early knock-on, got some unexpected early possession close to the line.

The Fillies put immediate pressure on Bega’s line and, following a strong run from Monique Ingram, the Fillies earned a penalty right in front of the posts, allowing Maree Ingram to slot the ball over the posts to take an early 2-0 lead.

Determined movement in the middle of the field from Kristy Nichols, Anna Steel and Emma Sullivan had the Fillies rolling forward and an uncharacteristic error from Bega’s fullback Kezie Apps right in front of her try-line gave the Fillies another opportunity for points.

Cooma’s Meg Bracher and Abby Schofield were dangerous in the middle of the field, but it was barnstorming line speed from Georgie Clarke that allowed her to cut through the Chicks line, scoring the Fillies’ first try on the

flanks.

The Fillies were cementing themselves as the dominant side early as the Chicks struggled to gain any ascendancy.

A line break from Bega’s Apps and Tegan Mundy tested the Fillies’ defence, but fullback Bracher’s diving cover never looked like missing and she saved a sure try.

Shortly after, it was a case of déjà vu for Bega’s Apps as a second spilled catch gave the Fillies another chance in good position.

A set play from Maree Ingram found Patrice Clear with room to move and she expertly picked up an unstoppable Jane Peadon who crossed the line untouched. Strong defence from May Peck, Chloe Murphy and Kirrily Carberry in the middle of the field kept the Chicks in line and both teams showed resolve in their attempts to cement the win for their side.

A line break from Bega’s Tegan Mundy allowed the Chicks to hit back just before half time, but with the conversion waved away and further handling errors from the Bega side, the Fillies maintained control of the game.

In the second half, the Fillies were unwavering in their efforts to hold onto the lead.

Jade Lee tested the Chicks on the flanks, with Tash Stewart supporting well, while Sue Morgan, Trina Brownlie and Bec Robson

defended expertly in the middle of the field.

It didn’t take long before the Fillies were at it again, with Georgie Clarke finding herself on the end of another well-constructed play and she safely extended the lead to 16-4.

Brooke Morey tested Bega in attack and defence while her sisters Patrice Clear and Monique Ingram continued to put pressure on the Chicks across the park. Kayla Jamieson overcame a leg injury to provide welcome relief for Bracher at fullback and as a unit, the Fillies seemed unbreakable in their final test of the season.

With the second half drawing on, a kick from Bega held up in goal and while Abby Schofield fought hard behind the line, the call of simultaneous grounding of the ball went the way of Bega and they were able to extend their lead to 16-10, but it was too late for the Chicks’ resurgence.

With Maree Ingram and Abby Schofield at the helm, and Meg Bracher and Georgie Clarke having the games of their lives, the Fillies were too strong, taking out the grand final in style.

The Player of the Match was awarded to the deserving Meg Bracher whose efforts around the park were outstanding.

The Fillies would like to thank their super Coach, Craig Schofield for his continued support and effort throughout the season.

Their success is only a reflection of his commitment and the belief he has in their team.

Similarly, they would like to thank Assistant Coach Steven Russell for his enthusiasm and guidance this season; Tony Clarke and David Bracher for their constant advice and valuable sustenance, and to Louis Brooks and Dianne Blyton for ensuring they are well equipped to take the field.

Without the continued support of their sponsors, Mainstreet Clothing, Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy and Brian Geach Electrical, they could not have been in the position for success either.

Thank you to the families and friends that travelled down on Sunday to watch the game and to all who supported them this season. Bring on season 2015.

Women’s bowls Women’s bowls finally resumed Tuesday after the winter recess, but only a small group turned up to play for the President v Secretary trophy.

Owing to injury Secretary Julie was unable to play but was obligingly replaced by O Jebbink.

President Una’s team of H Walker, M D’Amico and M Phillips took to the green in top form and by end 15 were leading 17-5 against the Secretary’s J Locker, E Hamilton, L Snell and O Jebbink.

The Secretary’s then decided it was time to show they weren’t going to be walked over by their peers and picked up 10 shots over the

last six ends.

Unfortunately, time ran out but were able to peg back the score to 19-15.

Congratulations to the President’s side who get to hold the trophy for 2014 –15.

This Tuesday is the Ella Bookallil Memorial Trophy with two teams from Cooma, Jindabyne, Nimmitabel and Adaminaby competing for the highest point score.

Lunch will be provided at 11.30am with play to commence at 12.30pm.

Good luck to all teams.

There will also be social bowls for those players not involved in shield.

Cooma Colts gallant runners-up After an already memorable Finals series, the Colts U10s turned up at GIO Stadium very excited and keen to run out and play their grand final.

The first half was probably the toughest half of footy they have ever endured, with the bigger and stronger boys in the Buffaloes side having played only one game in the finals series, compared to Cooma’s two extra time epics, came out fresh and fired up, making it hard for Cooma to break the line, while they seemed to get a roll on with their much fresher legs.

Despite this they only managed the one try early in the half, Cooma’s high standard in defence across the field staying true as always.

At the break they led 4-0 and Cooma headed to the sheds knowing they had a done a great job keeping their big fellas at bay and were keen to finish the season off on a good note.

The second half was just as tight as the first, and they only really got on top of us towards the end, their tries coming from kicks, and one of their quicker players darting over out wide from short range, testament to Cooma’s hard working defence throughout the game.

The final result was 20-0 to the Buffaloes but Cooma’s heads never dipped and they thoroughly enjoyed the

day.

Talon Kelly and Kristian Zusak used their speed to get around them to gain good field position, as did Alex Aitkenhead and Jonah Perea.

James Bannon and Lachlan Hemphill defied their size and threw themselves at the opposition all game.

Michael Day ran hard and stopped them in their tracks with a thud, as did Kayla Fleming, having one of her best games in recent memory using her shoulders in driving defence.

Marcus Riley and Doron Morgan also defied their size, taking the line on and making some good metres.

Cody Clarke and Flynn Palmer played dummy half and jumped on the opposition runners at crucial times, helping bringing

them down.

Aron Umback and Tirone Morgan also gave it everything they got wider of the ruck, trying hard all day and making good metres.

Barrett Bannon and Jake Maddrell came on in the second half, running strongly and defending stoutly, helping pull them down at every opportunity.

A fantastic effort by all to finish off a fantastic season, a great team effort throughout the entire season.

A big thanks to Shaun, Danielle, Phil, Amanda, Jane and Tom for all their help during the year. A special thankyou to all of our supporters who turn up each week.

Finally a big thankyou to our sponsor Sportspower Cooma.
