Snowy Hydro appoints new executives Longstanding Snowy Hydro Limited executive, Roger Whitby, has been appointed Chief Operating Officer and mining executive John McGagh will join Snowy Hydro as the company’s inaugural Chief Digital Officer.

The Executive team appointments are in response to the retirements of current COO Ken Lister and Executive Officer, Information and Control Systems, Ian Cooke, who have both dedicated decades of their lives to Snowy Hydro.

Currently Executive Officer - Trading, Roger Whitby has extensive engineering and trading experience, marrying market experience with technical expertise and indepth knowledge of Snowy Hydro’s unique operations.

“Roger is one of Snowy Hydro’s most accomplished Executives,” CEO Paul Broad said.

“His appointment as COO will bring together Snowy Hydro’s trading, water, environment and operations team to form a seamless link between the water under our management, our portfolio of generation assets and the National Electricity Market.

“Roger will oversee not only the operation, maintenance and capability of the iconic 4100 megawatt Snowy Scheme assets but also our three gas fired power stations - Laverton North (320MW) and Valley Power (300 MW) in Victoria and Colongra (667MW) in New South Wales

- as well as our diesel peak generators in South Australia.

“The nature and geographical location of our portfolio of assets gives Snowy Hydro its competitive edge and I am confident in Roger’s ability to drive further improvements in our asset capability, responsiveness and reliability.”

Commencing in March 2016, experienced mining executive John McGagh will join the Snowy Hydro Executive team in the position of Chief Digital Officer. John has spent the past 30 years in a range of roles at Rio Tinto, the most recent of which was as Head of Innovation.

“He comes to Snowy with a global track record in technology and has been at the forefront of innovation in the mining sector particularly in big data and robotics,” Mr Broad said.

“John is a change agent and has runs on the board in terms of improving business performance with technology and innovation by building partnerships with the private sector and academia.

“I am excited to hear John’s vision and ambitions for our systems, processes and assets and how we can get more out of our business by further embracing change, automation and technology.

John’s leadership and strategic skills will also be a welcome addition to the Snowy Hydro executive team.

“I pay tribute to both Ken Lister and Ian Cooke who have dedicated their lives and careers to Snowy Hydro, our iconic assets and our people. Along with Roger, Ken and Ian were part of the team that brought together the trading and generation companies to form Snowy Hydro Limited in the early 2000s.

“Ken and Ian are both recognised leaders in the Snowy Mountains community and I have no doubt they will continue to be strong contributors in the Cooma region.”

SMEC wins major new roads contract SMEC has been awarded a contract with NSW Roads and Maritime Services to undertake the detailed design of the 18 km Broadwater to Pimlico section of the Pacific Highway upgrade.

The Pacific Highway Upgrade is one of the largest road infrastructure projects ever undertaken in NSW. Approximately 408 km (62%) of the highway between Hexham and the Queensland border is now a fourlane divided road, 145 km of highway is currently under construction, and all remaining sections are being prepared for the commencement of major works.

SMEC has extensive design experience on the Pacific Highway Upgrade, having completed design works on the Banora Point Upgrade, the Bulahdelah Bypass, Brunswick Heads to Yelgun (7 km of carriageway), Warrell Creek to Nambucca Heads (20 km of carriageway) and the Ballina Bypass (11 km of carriageway). As

a result, “SMEC has built a solid reputation with Roads and Maritime Services for delivering quality services on time and within budget”, explained James Phillis, SMEC’s Regional Director for NSW and ACT. As part of the greater 155 km Woolgoolga to Ballina Upgrade, Broadwater to Pimlico will comprise a new greenfields section and the duplication of the existing highway to form a 110 km/h four-lane dual carriageway. Scheduled for completion in 2020, the Woolgoolga to Ballina Upgrade will signal the completion of the Pacific Highway Upgrade to a dual carriageway.

SMEC’s services on the project will include: detailed geometric design of the highway; flood studies; detailed cross drainage and longitudinal drainage design (with water quality basins); detailed design of 12 bridges, drainage culverts and

retaining walls; and design of pavements and road furniture.

Mr Phillis said “a key reason SMEC believes it was awarded this contract, is thanks to its unique appreciation for the local area, including a strong team of key people who live locally and work in SMEC’s Grafton office. Many of SMEC’s project team members have previous experience working on sections of the Pacific Highway, both in an engineering capacity and in carrying out studies to help Roads and Maritime Services mitigate the highway’s impact on local flora and fauna.”

Upon completion, the highway upgrade will: improve road conditions, reduce road accidents, support regional and economic development, improve services for local communities, reduce travel time, increase transport efficiency and improve road reliability.

The man wearing the Akubra comes to town business. “They’re [Mainstreet] a great business. We’ve dealt with them for many, many years and they’re an excellent client of ours,� Mr Angus said.

While in the region, the Akubra representatives also visited Birdsnest, and Keir complimented the business, making particular reference to their online activity.

Keir is hoping that by making contact with other businesses everyone can benefit and learn from each other, saying “it’s handy when we all work together�.

Akubra is looking to expand business in terms of domestic sales and exports and, with the addition of six new employees, is set to continue its reputation as an Australian icon.

Managing director of Akubra Stephen M Keir IV visited Cooma yesterday as part of a week long meet and greet with other businesses.

Akubra is a brand synonymous with Australia and has been proudly Australian owned for 130 years, with the Keir family’s involvement spanning back to 1904.

The fourth generation Stephen Keir, who has travelled from Kempsey on the mid north coast, was accompanied by the Sales and Marketing General Manager Andrew Angus and the pair visited Mainstreet and Birdsnest.

Akubra have had a long standing relationship with Mainstreet and have visited Cooma and Canberra to see how other companies conduct their

Merger strategy challenged Chairman of the Cooma and Monaro Progress Association (CMPA), Dugald Mitchell OAM, has questioned the strategy behind the merger of the three Monaro local government authorities. “Shire Councils are run as a business enterprise just like small business.

However the strategy of a shire council must be planned and agreed upon, in just the same way that a successful commercial small business must have an objective or objectives set out in a business plan�, Mr Mitchell said.� “The strategy for the amalgamation or merger of the three local Shires on Monaro has yet to be disclosed. We can only guess what the Government is up to. We need to see a business case, or a shire strategy. As the reason or reasons for the recommended changes by the NSW Government for the proposed merger have not been disclosed, and the structure of the public engagement defined; how can sensible and reasonable comments be made because we can’t see what they’re doing or attempting to do? “With a small business if it is going OK and this looks that it will continue to trade profitably in the near and middle future, then a good rule is “ if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it�

If there are problems one of two things must be done before the business goes bankrupt

- either increase income (in a shire’s case increase rates) or reduce cost ( in a shire’s case services).

Any other solution will almost certainly not work, and we cannot tell yet and do not know if there is a third solution. “The CMPA think that the residents in the three Shires should be convinced that the changes have every chance of success, but first they need to understand the reasons for the change.

The Government are now running “public� meetings to determine if residents are in favour as they must do as outlined in the Local Government Act. There is a second way and that is to conduct a plebiscite acceptable by the Government, which in the case of CoomaMonaro would cost close to $7,000. The Cooma Monaro Shire has not yet decided to spend such money. “As it seems very likely that the merger of the three Shires will take place, it is essential that firstly that a majority of residents think that the merger is a good idea, that they are behind it and work to make it successful.

Secondly, there are many people who live within the shires who have the expertise to make the merger successful, and these people should be found and used. “We think this local expertise needs to be tapped into by the

Government and we should not have to rely on public servants living in Sydney and not in a regional area like the Monaro to tell us how the new Local Government Area should be set up and be operated�, Mr Mitchell concluded.

Registration essential Anyone wishing to attend the public inquiries or to speak at those inquiries must register beforehand.

People will only be allowed to speak at one of the three inquiries which are being held next Thursday and Friday.

Registrations can be made by going to www. councilboundaryreview. nsw.gov.au or by phoning 1300 813 020.

The public inquiries

will be held at Bombala RSL Club next Thursday from 9am to 11am; In Cooma on Thursday at Cooma Ex-Services Club from 3pm to 6pm; In Jindabyne at Rydges Horizons on Friday February 12 from 9am to 11am.

Mild earthquake recorded

BOOKINGS CLOSING SHORTLY

The Way To Go

Wednesday February 3, 2016

Some local residents experienced a rude awakening early on Sunday morning as a mild earthquake shook the region.

Some people described what they thought was an out-of-control truck, or loud thunder before they realised it was an earth tremor.

According to Geoscience Australia, the quake struck north of Cooma at about 4.39am. It registered a magnitude of 3.6 on the Richter scale, at a depth of 7km, which is not strong

enough to cause any damage.

The last notable quake experienced in the area was in July 1980, when a 4pt quake was recorded in a similar location.

Lake Light at Jindabyne The long standing event, Lake Light Sculpture Jindabyne has been held on the foreshore of the lake every Easter for the past 13 years and the current committee are in full swing organising the 2016 event.

Over the years, the event has made a huge contribution to art and culture in Jindabyne and has also driven the installation of permanent sculptures throughout the town that has added further life and culture.

The event itself is much loved by community and visitors who look forward to seeing the sculptures lining the stunning lake foreshore and discovering the works of emerging local artists each year.

2015 represented the most successful year to date due to a record attendance with over 18000 visits and increased sculpture sales.

The event logo design was commended by David Handley who is the person behind well-known event Sculpture by the Sea. David also commented, via the Lake Light Sculpture Event Survey, that it was great to see the schools along with good artists.

Lake Light Sculpture again promises to impress this coming Easter and it is hoped that an increase in the total prize pool to $17500 will encourage more artists as entries are still open.

A new award is also on offer “People’s Choice Illumination Award” to help encourage artists to use more light in their sculptures. Illumination of sculptures greatly enhances the experience viewing them at night.

“If you are thinking of entering a sculpture then get your entry in by 23rd February 2016,” says committee Chairperson Lisa Matthes.

Visit lakelightsculpture.com.au for

further entry information.

While the committee works on gaining entries for the event it is also currently working on raising the necessary funds to stage it. Without local business support the event would not happen.

“The event positively impacts the local visitor economy and local businesses understand this.

“There is a sense of event pride among locals as we see them take visiting family and friends along each year. We think it’s these reasons that so many businesses support each year, 28 businesses in 2015, that the committee are very thankful for,” said committee Chairperson Lisa Matthes.

The event is also pleased to announce that Thredbo Resort has again come on board as Major Partner for 2016 representing a three year ongoing partnership.

“Thredbo is proud to continue our support of LLS again in 2016. There is no other event quite like LLS in the region in that it gives local, regional and nationally acclaimed sculptors an opportunity to exhibit their work in a natural setting with the backdrop or the mountains.

“The range of works is impressive and will appeal to a broad range of visitors. I congratulate the LLS team on their continued dedication and energy in staging this annual event giving visitors one more reason to spend Easter in the Snowy Mountains,” said Jordan Rodgers General Manager Thredbo.

Along with calling for entries, the event is now also calling for support and a number of opportunities are available for both individual community members and businesses.

Jindabyne man gaoled for assault Jindabyne resident Ian Michael Hall was sentenced to 13 months incarceration for a charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Thirty-three-year-old Hall and his friend Nathan Perry were at the bar of the Banjo Patterson Inn on September 10, 2015 when a Canadian man and a girl approached to order a drink.

Hall and Perry physically prevented the two from approaching the bar for sometime before Perry attempted to kiss the girl and separate her from the Canadian man.

Turning to walk away, Perry pulled the Canadian’s hair, causing him to turn around and punch Perry in defence. Hall then struck the Canadian in the face, before taking hold of his head and pushing it down to collide with his raised knee. The victim suffered a fractured nose, bruised and swollen left cheek and a chipped front tooth.

Hall is also required to pay the victim $297 for medical expenses.

Perry, 33, will be required to partake in 320 hours of community service as a result of an affray charge from the incident.

Daniel James Callaghan was fined $330 and had his driver’s licence disqualified for three months in Cooma Court last week. The 31-year-old was caught driving while his licence was suspended in November last year.

Monica Alice Cowan was convicted of failure to stop during a police pursuit on the Monaro

Highway near Nimmitabel in July last year. Police pursued the then 36-year-old for four minutes at a speed of about 130km per hour before she made a sharp turn onto a dirt road, almost colliding with a fence. Appearing before Cooma Court last week, Ms Cowan received a 12-month disqualification of her licence and a 12-month good behaviour bond.

Harley Craker faced Cooma Court with charges of larceny and possession of a prohibited drug.

For the drug offence, the 20-yearold received a $110 fine and for the theft of an iPhone 5s, he has been placed on a nine-month good behaviour bond.

Todd William Elphick was convicted of driving under the influence of drugs, receiving a $330 fine and disqualification of his licence for three months. The 29-year-old was found to have delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol in his system whilst driving in Jindabyne in August last year.

Mitchell Wallace James faced a charge of taking and driving a conveyance without the consent of the owner in Cooma Court last week. The 21-year-old received a nine-month good behaviour bond for the crime. He also was convicted of damaging property to the value of $1,142.02, which he had to repay and received a further seven-month good behaviour bond. He was handed yet another good behaviour bond of 12 months for a charge of being armed with the intent to

commit an indictable offence. The weapon in question was a longhandled broom.

22-year-old Lachlan Alexander Mackay-Wiggins was sentenced to 12 months with an interlock, one-month disqualification of his driver’s licence and fined $770 after he was caught driving with a low range PCA. Pulled over by police at 6.15am on September10, 2015, he blew a reading of 0.071.

William Roberts has received a seven-month bond and been made to pay $470 to the Royal Hotel for maliciously damaging property. The 20-yearold smashed a glass pane on the entrance door of the Lambie Street pub in Cooma in September last year. He had been asked to leave after being involved in a small scuffle and pushed his arm through the glass on his way out.

Margaret Joan Webb faced Cooma Court last week on a high range DUI charge and resisting an officer in execution of their duty. With a reading of 0.174, the 68-year-old refused to cooperate with police, threatening to assault the officers.

Requiring a caged vehicle, police eventually persuaded her to accompany them to the station for a conclusive blood test. She received a $550 fine, a ninemonth good behaviour bond and will have to use an interlock for 24 months.

SRSC Citizen Jackie Eyles Jackie is a part-time Practice Nurse at the Medical Centre in Jindabyne. Her area of expertise is sexual health.

When the clinic doors close, Jackie’s “other” unpaid job commences ... travelling the Shire, conducting education evenings for local school children and seasonal staff.

She uses her own money, or sources funding from local business or uses donations from concerned residents, to ensure our community, visiting tourists and winter staff are provided with the essential education and care needed.

With the support of staff at the Medical Centre, Jackie runs ‘The Wednesday Room’. The Wednesday Room is designed to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for people to discuss sexual health and youth health matters. The Wednesday Room is open year round, providing information, advice, treatment and support. Her job is tough, emotional and time consuming, seeing people at their most vulnerable and sometimes their most frightened. Her passion and commitment to this community is above reproach and amazes those that standby without the energy to keep up. She is an advocate for believing that preventative health is the best medicine.

“I love my job and I am extremely proud of The Wednesday Room,” says Jackie, “Through it I really feel that I have helped make a difference to our town.”

With the large influx of people to the Jindabyne community in winter, it could be assumed that they make up the majority of the Wednesday Room users, though statistics show that 43% of the people using it are locals. The letters she sends to all local youth aged between 16 and 20 (for mental health information) and her talks at the local schools are an important factor determining the future path of our youngest members of the community. So whether it be a local citizen, seasonal worker or tourist, the benefit of Jackie’s work send ripples though our whole community.

The community of Snowy River Shire benefits greatly from the work Jackie undertakes by: • Having access to education and information on women’s health, sexual health (men and women), youth health screening, drug and alcohol issues, and mental health support.

• Raising funds through community organisations and businesses to cover costs of testing and treatment in relation to women’s and sexual health as well as youth health.

• Raising funds for those without a Medicare card so health care costs can be kept to a minimum.

• Raising funds and negotiating to gain emergency transport or food money for clients.

• Providing free education to other health care pr oviders about sexual and mental health and providing a free clinic for local, seasonal and visiting people to our community... from Newcastle, to the Central Coast and Merimbula.

• Liaison with the NSW STI unit, ACON (AIDS council of NSW), sexual assaults services, community groups to share information on the service provided • Seeking assistance for our community in terms of donations of pharmaceuticals, and preventative health measures.

• Provide ongoing education in terms of sexual health, taking care of each other, drug and alcohol use, the importance of having ambulance cover and where to go when you need help

, It s time to get councils working better for local communities.

Stronger Councils.

Stronger Communities.

New South Wales has a complicated system of 152 local councils.

That’s nearly twice as many as Victoria or Queensland. Designed over 100 years ago, the system is broken. After listening to the community and councils, the NSW Government is sorting it out. It’s taking action to lock in rates, protect local jobs and create stronger councils. This means better services, better infrastructure and a brighter future for your local community.

New kids on the block at MHS Starting a high school is a big event for most 11 and 12 year olds but for some starting at Monaro High School this year it also marked moving to a new town.

Coming from as far as Queensland, Albury and Foster, at least seven Year 7 students have made Monaro their home over the holiday break and on Thursday joined more than 75 other students starting their high school years Monaro High School.

Principal of the school, Mr Adrian Bell, is very pleased to welcome all students, especially those new to the area.

“We have students from the small surrounding schools including Adaminaby and Nimmitabel, and

from the four Cooma based primary schools, and it is lovely to see our numbers grow with students moving into the area.”

Schools face an increasing challenge to educate children with essential 21st Century skills such as collaboration and creativity. “We are preparing the Monaro’s young people for a world that doesn’t exist yet” said Mr Bell as he explained the school’s move to a more personalised learning approach that will allow all students to achieve their personal best.

The Year 7 students were joined on Friday by their older peers in Years 8, 9 and 10. “We are looking forward to our new students joining the Monaro High School family,” said Mr Bell.

General Manager, JOE VESCIO

Once again the New Year has started off extremely busy and dominated by the Fit for the Future Reforms. We also celebrated Australia Day in late January, at two locations being Jindabyne and Adaminaby.

Both events were very well attended and I extend our sincerest thanks to the community, who came along to support our Citizens of the Year recipients.

The 2016 Award winners are: Citizen of the Year Jackie Eyles Joint Young Citizens of the Year Rhianna and Kirra Burke Sports Person of the Year Benjamin Hearn Community Event of the Year Berridale Easter Fair – Lions Club of Berridale I would also like to thank the Lions Club of Jindabyne who each year coordinates the event and puts on a great “Breakfast in the Park”. I also thank Mr Bill Fogarty and the Community Groups in Adaminaby for supporting the event and for providing a lovely afternoon tea.

As advised at the Australia Day events, the next steps in the Fit for the Future reforms, is a Public Inquiry Meeting that will be held in Jindabyne on Friday, 12 February between 9am and 11am at the Rydges Horizons Resort.

The Public Hearing is being conducted by a Delegate, who has been assigned to our area by the NSW Government. The Delegate’s primary role is to consider the Governments’ proposal to merge the three Council’s (Snowy River Shire, Cooma and Bombala Council’s) as required under the Act. The delegate will also undertake public consultation to seek community views and will provide its report to the Boundaries Commission for comment (only).

The Minister for Local Government will then consider the report from the Delegate and comments from the Boundaries Commission and will decide on whether or not to recommend to the Governor that the merger proposal be implemented.

If you would like to attend the Public Inquiry and if you wish to speak at the Inquiry, you must register by visiting the Council Boundary Review website at www.councilbourndaryreview.nsw.gov.au or by contacting 1300 813 020. The NSW Governments Merger Proposal for our area is also available on this website.

Council will be making a presentation at the Inquiry and I urge everyone who would like to make comment on the proposed mergers to register and attend the event. Formal written submissions are due by 28 February.

Six of Kaye Anderson’s seven children were in Cooma, and the other was watching via a video call, on Australia Day last week to see their mum presented with the CoomaMonaro Citizen of the Year award.

“I am very honoured to have received this award,” says Kaye. “It was so lovely to have my family there with me. My seven year old grandchild came up to me and said ‘I knew you would get some award like that, because you are always working for someone.”

They were not wrong, Kaye is involved in many community groups and has been a valuable member of the Country Women’s Association (CWA) for 50 years. Her dedication to the community through supporting various charities, fetes, school activities, sporting activities and the emergency service volunteers secured her the award for 2016.

Although born in Tasmania, Kaye’s parents were from Cooma. As fate would have it, while living in Tasmania, she met a man on holiday who also happened to be from Cooma.

Kaye made the move to Cooma with Noel in 1962 and they were married in 1963. Having seven children, four daughters and three sons, Kaye now has 16 grandchildren, ranging in age from 30 to two and a half.

Between balancing her busy life as a mother and her volunteer work with the CWA, Kaye helped Noel and his father with their railway general carrier business. They also did deliveries to and from farmers from the trains. These would often be loads of super to be taken to the farmers, or wool and hay to be delivered to the railhead.

“Helping pick up the hay out in the paddock was when I learnt to drive the trucks,” says Kaye. “I dropped so many

bales when I was first learning, but I got better at it.”

Noel sadly passed away in 2008 after a fight with cancer.

He was the first patient to be admitted to the Cooma Hospital’s oncology unit – another fantastic community initiative.

These days Kaye is involved in the Probus Club, the View Club and the Community Consultant Committee at the Cooma Hospital, as well as the CWA. “This town would be dead if it weren’t for the many volunteers helping our community,” says Kaye. “From the Rotary and Lions Clubs, to the Hospital Auxiliary, there are so many great community groups here that keep our town going.”

Through her involvement in these community groups and her 50 years with the CWA, Kaye says she has made some wonderful friendships.

“As State Treasurer, I was able to travel all around the state, visiting branches and meeting all kinds of marvellous women. Not to mention all the great friends I have made across the Monaro,” says Kaye, “I also get great satisfaction out of helping people and helping the community. It may only be in small ways, but it is important to be doing something.”

Fifty years ago, when she was a young mother, Kaye would spend the day shopping with her mother-inlaw and before going home they would attend the CWA afternoon tea, which was held once a week. It was here that she was persuaded to join.

Kaye says she has held almost every position during her time with the CWA, including being State Treasurer for three years. She describes this as a highlight of her time in the CWA, and is very proud of one particular achievement.

“We finally sold the head office building in Sydney in 2014,” she says, “It was years old and falling down. The maintenance was just costing us too much. In 2007 and we looked at refurbishing it, but that was going to cost between $10 and $20 million.”

One of the purposes of the building was to provide

subsidised accommodation for members of the CWA when visiting Sydney, however only 15 percent of members were using it. So Kaye helped work towards a contract, and with the sale of the old building, they were able to purchase a new head office in Mascot, with some money left over.

“It was a difficult process because many members were only concerned with what achievements they could make within their own community.

They were not so concerned with what was going to happen to the Sydney building.”

catering with their delicious home cooked food to giving out education grants, hosting curry luncheons and providing meals for the ANU medical student program, there is a great deal that the Monaro CWA do for our community.

Kaye says that the CWA also does lots of great work across the state, the country and even the world. They have a significant disaster relief fund available for things like drought relief. The CWA has also placed a heavy focus on domestic violence recently, spreading awareness and providing

Although the new building does not provide accommodation, the CWA were able to secure a deal with five Metro Hotels, giving discounted rates to members.

It is also a more convenient arrangement as it allows members to choose from a variety of locations around Sydney, rather than being limited to the one spot.

Within the Monaro community, Kaye and the Cooma CWA try and do as much as they can to help. From

support for women across the country. Internationally, Kaye says the CWA does a lot of work helping women in Papa New Guinea, teaching them to sew and sending them material and sewing machines so that they can make clothes for their communities.

Kaye is very proud to be part of the CWA and proud of her community. The 2016 Citizen of the Year award could not have gone to a more grateful and deserving recipient.

Nimmitabel community awards winners for 2016

Jim Alcock Jim has been a contributor to Nimmitabel not only on community groups but as a good neighbour to those in the community who need some help.

You can often see Jim of a morning and afternoon walking his dog Rufus to the lake and back,

Colin Stopp Colin has contributed to various groups and organisations in Nimmitabel over the years.

Colin is a member of the Nimmitabel Rural Fire Service.

Our communities rely on the skills and dedication of the volunteers to protect them in an emergency. Volunteers participate in a variety of training activities and many of the skills

picking up litter along the way.

Jim has ben a constant member of NAG over many years, serving on various committees including the Heritage Trail.

As a member of this committee he opens and closes the Old Mill for tourists on a daily basis.

Jim also keeps the Old Mill tidy as well as keeping the rounds of the Old Mill and the Community Centre mown and whippersnĂĽipped.

Jim was a member of the RFS and also belongs to the cemetery committee and as a volunteer he contributes huge amounts of time and energy to keeping the grounds looking good.

Jim is a past presenter of Radio 2MNO and over the years he has also been a member of the Nimmitabel Common Committee performing duties related to the management of the Common.

He is also an active member of the local Catholic Church, St Andrew’s.

Jim joined the Men’s Shed this year and is sure to contribute there as well.

learnt are skills for life.

This shows true commitment and Nimmitabel is very lucky to have volunteers like Colin in the Rural Fire Service.

Colin worked for Australia Post and if there were any problems with parcel deliveries to outlying properties Colin would go out of his way to ensure they were delivered.

Colin also belongs to the Nimmitabel Cemeteries Committee.

The Pioneer

Robert Pud Parker Pud’s dedication to the Nimmitabel community and village may have gone unnoticed over the years by many, but he has given selflessly huge amounts of hours and energy to help make our village a better place to

live in and visit.

Over the year Pud has worked on numerous community committees.

Pud has been president of the Nimmitabel Lions Club and we all know how hard and tirelessly our local Lions members work for our community.

Pud was a member

of the Nimmitabel Advancement Group and it was during his time with NAG in 2005 that he initiated this Australia Day Community Service Award, with the awardees being Esther Buckley, Bill McDonald and Vi Kelly.

Pud was a handson member of the Nimmitabel Football Netball Club when his daughter Renee played netball, cooking the barbecue, taking the money at the gate and doing any other job that was thrown at him.

Even when council would forget to mow the oval or mark the courts or fields, the day before the games, Pud would run home, grab his mower and a few helpers and get the job done.

Recently Pud joined the Men’s Shed and is an active member. He will no doubt be a great

asset to the team.

Whenever there is a working bee at the showground, Pud is one of the many the show committee could phone and he would be there to help.

Pud worked on the Council and the CMSC for the last 35 years.

During the time he worked at Nimmitabel, Pud’s commitment to his job was done with pride for his community and he put in an enormous amount of volunteer hours above and beyond his required work duties.

Early in the morning before Pud clocked on, you would find him at the Nimmitabel Caravan park cleaning the toilets and showers so they would be sparkly clean for the day. When parts of the village need a tidyup, rubbish removed or grass mowed, Pud, in is own time, would be there working out of council hours.

cemetery is Colin’s baby. Colin’s dedication to the Nimmitabel Pioneer Cemetery has not gone unnoticed over the years by many people. He gives selflessly huge amounts of his time and energy on its maintenance to keep it looking perfect all year round for locals and tourists to visit. Colin’s care of the Pioneer Cemetery demonstrates the spirit of the true meaning of devotion to one’s community.

The next port of call was Penang. My main knowledge of the area was that it was a British colony and that they had been occupied by the Japanese in WWII. We set off by ourselves and explored George Town on foot. The terrain was quite flat and easy, however the heat and humidity was very oppressive.

We managed a couple hours of exploration, including a stop in an Indian restaurant for a cold beer, before caving and taking a taxi back to the ship. What I did see of Penang fascinated me, the left over colonial architecture was mixed with a wide range of other styles including modern buildings and whole streets of buildings with distinct Chinese and Indian influence.

Rickshaws were everywhere and each distinctly decorated by their operators, market stalls lined the streets along with local stores and international franchises like 7/11 and Subway. I would like to go back one day and visit again.

The third stop was the resort island of Langkawi. The day was slightly less humid and easier to handle. Our first stop was a local mall for a little shop-

ping, however many of the shops were closed as it was still early. Instead we took the opportunity for a McDonalds stop to use the wifi. For those who are curious, as Lankawi is a Muslim community, no bacon or pork products are available, however a Big Mac tastes the same and a large meal costs about $4AUD. Then along with another lady we had met on the ship, we hired a Taxi for 120 Ringgit (about $40AUD) to take us to a selection of attractions around the island. The driver was very helpful, informative and a wonderful guide. He took us the iconic eagle statue, to a wonderful hot springs spa where we could soak our tired feet in a natural spring (3 Ringgit), to some of the beautiful beaches and to see monkeys.

Lastly we stopped at the Oriental Village, a tourist area with shops, eateries and a variety of attractions including a huge koi pond that you can Zorb ball on and the base station for the one of the steepest and longest freespan cable car in the world. We didn’t have much time for much else, so we went straight for the cable car. Rides are about 30 Ringgit and take about 20-30 minutes depending on if you stop at middle station. The ride was terrifying.

The cables sway and the drop is huge!

However the views were like nothing I have ever seen before. We didn’t disembark to walk the Langkawi Sky bridge, the large, curved pedestrian bridge built between the 2 peaks for the best view as we had run out of time. The experience was scary and I don’t know if I would do it again, but I am glad I did it once!

The final stop was a 2 day stop over in Phuket, Thailand. This essential destination for partying Aussie tourists did not disappoint. Some of the cruise guests opted to stay in a hotel for the night as to make the most of the nightlife, however we were a little tamer. Our experience of Phuket was filled with massages and spa treatments, regular cocktails and wonderful Thai food. We enjoyed the time to relax and rejuvenate before the end of the cruise, however there were many other options and activities available if you so wished. &RQWLQXHG QH[W WLPH

BOMBALA COUNCIL GENERAL MANAGER: Ms Ngaire McCrindle As I write this, listening to the thunder and rain, I am mindful of the weather at present. It is likely that heavy rain will again impact our road network and create further damage. Council cannot maintain all roads in a short period of time but will be assessing the priorities for road maintenance as circumstances change. We ask for your patience in this matter.

The proposed merger of the three Councils is continuing to take up a large part of our time.

Currently we are finalising our response to the Delegate on the Minister’s Proposal and identifying a number of key requirements and important considerations for the Bombala area.

While Council’s first preference is to remain a stand-alone council, we are continuing to work with both Snowy and Cooma on a range of issues and agreed priorities associated with the merger proposal. Our final submission on the Proposal will be considered at the February meeting of Council for adoption prior to it being forwarded to the appointed Delegate by February 28.

A gentle reminder to the residents and ratepayers of the Bombala community- Noon, Friday 5 February is the deadline for registering to attend the Public Inquiry into the proposed merger of Bombala Council with Cooma Monaro and Snowy River Shire Councils. This Inquiry will be held on Thursday 11 February 2016 at 9am at the Bombala RSL Auditorium. Registrations may be made on line at www.councilboundaryreview.com.au or by calling 1300 813 020. This will be your last opportunity to be involved with the decision. You MUST register to attend the Inquiry.

the

postman calls

With only nine days until the first public inquiry into council amalgamations, residents across our three shires are urged to register so they can attend and register so they can have their say.

The forums have not been widely advertised and unfortunately are being held at the time of day when most people are either at work, or in the case of small businesses, keeping their doors open.

A cynical person might consider this timing and lack of advertising might be designed to discourage attendance and therefore give the impression that the community is supportive of amalgamation.

This will be the only chance anyone will have to speak for or against the proposed merger, so don’t miss out. Register at www. councilboundaryreview.nsw.gov.au or by phoning 1300 813 020.

Another area of concern for The Postman this week is Premier Mike Baird’s insistence that GST should be increased to 15 percent.

He says this will return heaps of cash to the government to use elsewhere. The Postman suggests that such an increase would see many small businesses closing their doors, so perhaps the increased revenue will cover their dole payments?

Perhaps Mr Baird and his advisers should try running a small business for 12 months or so, to fully understand the challenges business owners face?

Water concerns in merger Editor, In the wider conversations we are having within our community and region about council amalgamation, concerns remain about the process, structure, purpose and perceived benefit of the NSW State Government’s mandate and policy.

Such policies must be considered in the present geographical and financial context on the Monaro.

What the State Government policy entails we don’t know. There are financial, employment and planning consequences, which need to be outlined in detail in a business case that is yet to be tabled.

I believe one concern requiring clarification relates to water supply here. At present, Cooma gets its water from Murrumbidgee River.

It seems there is no permanent agreement about this.

As I understand it the parties to the current Tantangara Agreement are the ACT Government and Snowy Hydro.

The Cooma-Monaro Shire Council would be, and hopefully remains, an interested party under such an agreement with status and standing in this matter.

Clarification is needed as to whether the present ad hoc arrangement will continue under the new enlarged regional shire.

If interim Commissioners are to be appointed by the State Government, to effect and facilitate amalgamation as happened in Victoria, approximately 20 years ago, it would be imperative that the Cooma-Monaro Shire Council status and standing regarding water

“entitlement” be recognised and protected.

Foreseeable future expansion or residential and other corridors of the ACT (and beyond) would justify clarification of these present concerns.

Secondly, this is a community and a region where all of us, including our politicians and their delegates could benefit from local expertise to understand the historical, engineering, contractual, environmental and feasibility integrity or current arrangements.

Is the local expertise being used?

Has it been sought?

Thirdly, during my recent visit to Victoria, two Melbourne-based colleagues lamented the loss of capacity, service, integrity and competence of particular local government authorities in relation to conveyancing matters.

My friends’ concerns were that the last bastion of competence and professional adjudication had been lost, since amalgamation was mandated in Victoria and that the local level of skilling and service has been forfeited, with remedy or redress.

Definitively, this is the moment for our local community to voice sincere concerns about amalgamations proposals. Even if these concerns are not sustainable under the mandates and policies of our present NSW State Government, we have learned to love our questions…

Elizabeth Laught Cooma

Against misuse of saleyards Editor, I raise concerns about the continued use of the Cooma sheepyard selling complex as an overflow for penning cattle in the forthcoming yearly autumn weaner sales.

This practise has been going on for at least 15 years and the damage to the infrastructure keeps getting worse and worse.

The new sheep yards were built for sheep not CATTLE. The new sheep selling area cost approximately $1.2million back in 1993 and I now anticipate that it may cost council (and rate payers) close to 10 percent of that figure approximately to bring the yards back up to “new” condition if this practise does not

cease.

The Cooma Livestock agents (myself included) need to be given a strong directive from the leaders of Cooma council to immediately cease penning cattle in the concrete section of the sheepyards.

Livestock agents with extra large numbers of cattle should hold additional sales and hire extra portable yards to accommodate the numbers, or use the old dirtyards section.

Council, do something about it before it is too late. Enough is enough.

Wednesday February 3, 2016

Nursing scholarships NSW Health Minister Jillian Skinner has encouraged school leavers or anyone interested in a career change to take advantage of 350 NSW Government scholarships for the 2016 Diploma of Nursing (Enrolled Nurse) program.

Scholarship holders will train at metropolitan and rural TAFE NSW Institutes as well as the NSW Health Registered Training Organisation at Rozelle and Liverpool, and undertake clinical experiences in the NSW Health system.

A new program will provide students with opportunities for elective subjects and clinical placements in the area of mental health, with a view to be employed in this specialty field following graduation.

“Enrolled Nurses are vital to our health system, providing care for patients when they are often most in need, whether it’s in acute hospital wards, aged care facilities, operating theatres, paediatrics or mental health units,” Mrs Skinner said.

“These scholarships will lead to a Diploma of Enrolled Nursing qualification for 350 students.

Importantly, students who complete

the course and meet standard recruitment and registration processes will receive a job offer at a NSW public hospital.

“I strongly recommend anyone who is a compassionate, caring person to apply for a scholarship and embark on a very rewarding career.”

The only cost for scholarship recipients for the Diploma is the compulsory student fee which is reimbursed by NSW Health on completion of 12 months employment as an Enrolled Nurse in a NSW public health facility. Students may be able to access VET FEE-HELP to assist in paying this upfront cost.

Applications are invited from HSC school leavers, mature age applicants or those who have already completed a Certificate III or equivalent qualification.

Applications close on February 10.

Successful applicants will commence their Diploma from April 2016.

The program runs for between 12 and 18 months. For more information go to: http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/ nursing/scholarship/Pages/enrollednurse-scholarships.aspx

Change for Hair on Main Street

26-28 February, Exhibition Park in Canberra Tanya Ingram hands over Bombala’s Hair on Main Street to new owner, Nicky Gulliford this Thursday.

Fresh from finishing her hairdressing apprenticeship, Bombala local, Nicky Gulliford is set to take the reins at local salon, Hair on Main Street.

Nicky will take over management this Thursday, February 4, with Tanya Ingram handing over the business after 20 years.

“I just want to sincerely thank all of my clients who have supported me over the years,” Tanya said.

“And of course I wish Nicky all of the best, and hope the community will continue to support her.”

There’s no need for tearful goodbyes just yet, however, with Tanya remaining with Hair on Main

Street on Mondays and Fridays, while fellow local staff will all also continue in their roles.

And while Nicky has a few ideas for the future of her business, she says that things at the salon will stay much the same for the first six months or so while she settles in.

“There’ll be no really big changes right away, but we will be having NAK specials every month, and there’ll also be monthly specials for appointments with me,” Nicky said.

“I’m very keen to keep learning, and will be bringing some new things into the salon as time goes on.”

Southern Monaro Cattledogs assistance to SouthCare Whenever the local community hears the Snowy Hydro SouthCare helicopter coming in to land, it knows that someone is in serious trouble, and is getting the vital help they need.

That is why it is so important that our local communities help support SouthCare and its rescue helicopter service that has saved so many lives throughout the region.

In Bombala, one dedicated group is doing just that, with the Southern Monaro Cattledogs donating the proceeds of their February raffles straight to SouthCare, even adding a substantial donation of their own to the total.

The group runs its meat raffles on Friday nights at the Globe Hotel from 6pm, and encourages all of those who would like to show their support for SouthCare to come along and grab a ticket or two.

Snowy Hydro SouthCare began in 1998 as the primary provider of aero-medical and rescue helicopter services to people in the ACT and SouthEast, and since that time the rescue helicopter has completed over 6,200 missions.

Come along to the Globe Hotel in Bombala for the Friday night raffles throughout this month and help the Southern Monaro Cattledogs support Snowy Hydro SouthCare.

At 96 years young, John is preparing to get back on track...

Sam Tonks Many of those who were held in POW camps in WWII understandably had trouble leading normal lives once they returned home, but John Gilmour not only went on with his life, he thrived!

John is the father of well known Delegate lady, Judy Cameron, and he recently spent some weeks in the area sharing time with his family and the local community.

Those who met John and know of his war years and his athletic career will be unsurprised to learn that there have been two books written about him, with ‘All in My Stride’ detailing his life “from Changi to World Champion”.

John Barry Gilmour was born on May 3, 1919 in Ayrshire in Scotland. He travelled to Australia at the tender age of four years, and with his parents took up residence in a group housing settlement in Rosa Glen near the Margaret River in Western Australia.

Following difficult times the family moved to Perth in 1928, and John completed his schooling there, all the while developing into a top athlete in both cricket and AFL. As a young man he also played soccer with Fremantle, but after he joined the Armed Services they rejected his membership. This led John to run in a 10 mile road championship race the following weekend, and he surprised himself by coming second. An illustrious running career had begun!

John’s military service started in earnest in October of 1940 with training in Perth, Adelaide and Darwin. He was shipped to Singapore and became a Prisoner of War after just one year and one week abroad in February of 1942.

John’s early years as a POW were spent in imprisonment at Changi, where he and his fellow prisoners resorted to eating couch grass and

hibiscus shoots. The resulting malnutrition that John suffered caused significant loss of sight.

Interestingly, Marmite later administered three times a day assisted in partial sight restoration, but John would have very poor eyesight for the rest of his life.

In the early 1940s, John’s brother was also a Prisoner of War, and he later worked on the Burma Railway while John was in hospital. After 18 months in Changi John was transferred to Japan, where a fellow prisoner who had been a hairdresser taught him to cut hair and gave him clippers and scissors.

During the transfer voyage, John cut prisoners’ hair and even the Japanese soldiers’ hair for 20 cigarettes a cut. John never smoked himself, but cigarettes were currency and could be traded for rice, which was cooked on a tin lid in the sun for more flavour.

John notes that in Japan the prisoners had to wear dirty Japanese uniforms and hats, both of which were always too small for the Aussie men.

During his two years at Kobe War Camp, John worked in a graphite factory, a steel factory and unloading ships laden with the spoils of war that the Japanese had looted from the captured islands of the South Pacific.

Items on the ships included furniture, copper, iron, sugar, clothes, shoes and eiderdowns, all of which the prisoners endeavoured to damage with unloading hooks. Bags of sugar were punctured at waist level so the prisoners could fill their pockets.

John and some of his fellow prisoners eventually escaped Kobe after an American bombing; this was extremely lucky as they were locked in their building and only rescued by the ”Poms” after their wall had fallen down. An American plane located the prisoners and dropped a spotter beacon, which is now on show in a Perth museum.

The prisoners were transferred to Yokohama and then flown to Okinawa and on to Manilla. They encountered extremely bad weather during this flight, with one plane load of prisoners, including five Aussies, going down. They had survived the horror of the POW camp only to be killed in a plane crash.

John sailed to Sydney, and after a week’s stay, sailed for home in Perth. Their first meal on this ship was curry and rice and they tipped their food over the galley room floor. After the captain discovered they were POWs they were given better food and first class accommodation for the rest of the journey home.

After his ordeal in Changi and Kobe, John spent 11 months in a convalescent hospital, and during this time he discovered that the home of a former running coach of his was nearby. He quickly made contact and asked him to coach him again.

Not long afterwards John went on to win the 10 mile championship race that he had run second in back before the war, when he had first been rejected by his soccer team.

Nimmitabel Show 2016

2016 Nimmitabel Show Presidents report The 2016 Nimmitabel Show will be held on Saturday 6th February. We are honoured that this year’s show will be opened by His Excellency General The Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove AK MC (Retd), GovernorGeneral of the Commonwealth of Australia and accompanied by Her Excellency Lady Cosgrove.

This year’s showgirl is Sarah Blyton and she will be available on the day to sash some of the champions and help open the show.

Nimmitabel Show once again has the zone finals for the judging competitions. This includes Merino wool, meat sheep, Merino sheep, beef cattle and beef cattle paraders. So what an opportunity for under 25’s to be able to win the

zone and go on to Sydney Royal Easter Show to compete in the state finals.

This year’s 114th show is shaping up to be a really top event with open judging of the high quality exhibits in the pavilion include flowers, fruit, vegetables, food, home brew, needlework, arts and craft, school work and photography as well as many stall holders, the popular fashion parade and children’s events including the clown, petting paddock, kids tug of war, face painting, junior fashion parade and the Nimmitabel Bush Kids Challenge.

Nimmitabel ring events are renowned for a place to be with horses, travelling from right around

the region to compete in a large amount of events across the four rings.

The yard dog trials will be held once again behind the bar area and of course are always a great attraction to the spectators.

One of the biggest iconic event, that our show has, and very popular with all the young kids, is the poddy calf ride.

The sheep, goat and shearing shed has a new extension with a brand new state of the art shearing board, thanks to our volunteers and a very special thank you to Steve O’Ryan for his expertise in building.

The Greenland Merino Stud Show Shear is a real hit for spectators to sit and watch the talent of the quality shearers we are fortunate to have in our area.

Our Angora section will be well supported by our regional angora breeders with mohair at a record high.

The sheep section will be its usual high standard with many of the stud merino’s going onto royal shows and winning many grand champions showing that Monaro’s genetics are some of the best in Australia.

With such a good season, in fact the best I have ever seen, the commercial cattle and stud cattle section should be outstanding. Once again the Monaro have some of the best cattle in the country.

Popular chainsaw events will be run again. The final race at the end of the day will be the post ripping at the front of the bar in the ring.

Followed then by the dog high jump and the very popular fun event the mates race.

One of the country’s very popular events will be held for the second time at Nimmitabel’s show is the Stockman’s Challenge. This is one attraction that you don’t want to miss seeing.

Finally I would like to thank all our volunteers for their valued support

This event has been brought into Ring 2 right in front of the pavilion and will start at approx. 3pm.

The course map will only be available from our website one week before the show.

Mel Haylock, Stockmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Challenge Steward.

But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry kids you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to complete against the adults as there is a high school and primary school section.

Food The Food Section has some great prizes for both the seniors and juniors to be won. There are two sections for children, 16 years and under and 12 years and under. My favourite class is the six funny faced biscuits; some kids have some great ideas.

Remember that exhibits are to be on disposable plates and covered with oven bags. Flour should be dusted off scones, no cake rack marks on cakes and no frosting as icing. Why not enter in as many classes as possible to win. We are looking forward to some great entries. Kaye Stopp, Food Steward.

The Greenland Merino Stud Nimmitabel Show Shear will feature the Gordon Litchfield open section, Jemalong Wool senior section, Hazeldean Intermediate section and the Elders novice section.

All novice entrants will receive a free entry into their section thanks to the generous support of the AWI. An initiative to encourage more novice entrants into the competition allowing for an excellent insight into the shearing industry guided by the highly skilled judges.

This year we will again feature the Monaro Wool Services Wool Handlers competition with three different sections of open, novice and 13-18yrs.

This competition was very popular last year with numerous entrants demonstrating their skills.

The addition of the 13-18yrs section has been continued after the great demand for it last year. We look forward to all wool handlers from around the district coming and trying out our new board and wool room.

NIMMITABEL SHOW 2016 SHEEP SECTION The Nimmitabel Show being the first of our local shows has become notorious for a good quality sheep show. Thanks to our valued sponsors we have over $2000 worth of prizes on offer at this year’s Nimmitabel Stud Merino Sheep section. The only show where you win a drum of top Ancare drench for Grand Champion Ram, Grand Champion Ewe and Supreme Exhibit.

We cater for March and August Shorn Stud Merino Sheep with separate classes.

The Nimmitabel Show has always been very well supported by our local stud merino breeders and we value their support and the high standard of exhibits with many of these sheep going onto the Canberra Royal, the Sydney Royal and the Bendigo Sheep Show, many achieving championships at these shows.

With the number of Merino sheep bred on the Monaro, it would be nice if the Merino Flock Sheep section was better represented. There are five classes of pens of three ewes plus a Champion Flock Ewe of the Nimmitabel Show with good prizes.

There is also a section for Meat Breeds of Sheep with two classes: one for Best Meat Breed Ram any age and one for Best Meat Breed Ewe any age with good prizes.

Gauging by the amount of prime lambs that are sold at the saleyards in Cooma as well as Wagga Wagga Saleyards, there is certainly a lot of prime lamb breeders on the Monaro, the stewards of the sheep section would welcome an increase in entries for this section. There are four classes of pen of three lambs ranging from 39.9 kgs and under to 54.1kgs and over with good prize money, and a champion pen of three prime lambs.

The sheep section appreciates the support of our very valued sponsors, who have given over $2000 worth of prizes to offer at this year’s show, Ancare, who have donated three pots of sheep drench for the Grand Champion Ewe and Ram and Supreme Exhibit, Cooma Rural, Sullivan Family, Greenland Merino Stud, Elders, Landmark, Haylock

NUNGAR PLAIN Santa Gertrudis

Partners, Boudjah Merino Stud, Rick Hain, Jemalong Wool, Myocum Stud, and M&C Caldwell.

Look forward to seeing all our fellow sheep breeders at the Nimmitabel show on Saturday 6th February, for entries phone 64 536244.

John and Jenny Alcock, Sheep Stewards Weight Guessing Competition A great attraction at the Nimmitabel Show not to be missed is Tom leading his poddy lamb Bob around the showground for the sheep weight guessing competition.

Tom will have his grandma with him to sell the weight guessing tickets, so keep an eye out for them.

Judging Competitions Zone Finals at Nimmitabel Show 2016 Nimmitabel Show is currently one of the most unique shows around the district as it hosts the zone finals of the judging competitions. The five sections of the judging competition are Merino Sheep Judging, Meat Sheep Judging, Merino Fleece Judging, Beef Cattle Judging and Cattle Parading.

Entrants for the zone finals judging competition must be aged between 15 and 25, to make them eligible for national finals at The Sydney Royal Easter Show. Participants that wish to compete that are younger than 15 are more than welcome and will be eligible for the trophies and prize money but they cannot go onto the national finals, but it is great practice for future years.

The judging competitions are a great asset to the Nimmitabel Show as they give young adults a chance to win the zone finals in their chosen field and proceed to Sydney Royal Show to compete in the state finals, if they are successful there they then are eligible to proceed to the National Judging Competitions Finals.

Through participating in these competitions young adults have the opportunity to meet new people, gain life skills and expand their knowledge of the rural sector. They then may also ask to judge at local shows and other districts shows and ewe competitions etc.

Sausage sizzle for Shannons Flat Wool4School competition turns to sport for inspiration After another year of record participation by Australian school students, the Wool4School program turns to the national love of sport for inspiration in 2016.

With the global trend towards fashionable sportswear, the brief for year 7 to 11 students in 2016 is to design an outfit for their favourite Australian sporting team.

The design must involve at least 70% Australian Merino wool and be suitable to wear during a match or medal ceremony. Conveying the Aussie team spirit, the design must be innovative and creative for either a male or female sports outfit.

Now in its fifth year, the Wool4school competition has become a regular part of the Design and Technology curriculum at hundreds of schools across Australia. It is purely a design competition with students researching, designing, sketching and explaining the use and versatility of modern wool textiles.

To assist teachers and students, a myriad of classroom and online resources have been created including free textile samples, lesson plans, technical videos and rubrics.

Adding to these resources is the latest edition of The Wool Lab - the ultimate sourcing and inspirational guide to the best wool fabrics and yarns in the world. Created by The Woolmark Company as a trade tool, the latest version of The Wool Lab shows state-of-art, commercially available textiles for the sports and outdoor market. It has been well received at major trade events in the northern hemisphere in recent

months. Teachers and students are encouraged to visit woolmark.com for a taste of The Wool Lab Sport for inspiration for their Wool4School design.

Wool4School student and teacher winners get to share in $10,000 worth of prizes with the main money-canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t-buy prize of an internship with leading Australian brand Willow.

In 2015, more than 1000 students submitted an entry into the Wool4School competition with teachers providing direct feedback for the 2016 competition. With a successful expansion into Hong Kong last year, the Wool4School concept has now moved beyond Australia.

Wool4School is an important part of AWIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education offering for Australian students. With Learn About Wool kits for primary and secondary schools, the National Merino Challenge, Sam the Lamb resources through to Nuffield scholarships and PhD funding, AWI offers people of all ages the opportunity to learn about and contribute to the wool industry.

For all competition details please visit wool4school.com Key Dates: 31 May 2016: Registrations close 1 June 2016: Submissions open 19 July 2016: Submissions close (Year 7 and 8) 26 July 2016: Submissions close (Year 9 and 10) 2 August 2016: Submissions close (Year 11 and teachers) 25 August 2016: Winners announced

The barbecue was running hot for the Shannons Flat RFS over the Australia Day weekend.

A fundraising sausage sizzle was held at the Bunnings store at Tuggeranong.

Brigade members staffed the barbecue from 8am on the Sunday with the sausages selling out at 4.30pm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We sold approximately 800 sausages, along with soft drinks and a raffle. Takings for

the day were in excess of $2500 so it was a very successful eventâ&#x20AC;?, said Thomas Ross from the brigade. â&#x20AC;&#x153; We certainly appreciate the assistance from Bunnings with providing the barbecue and promoting the dayâ&#x20AC;?.

A second barbecueis planned for later in the year and the team from Shannons Flat are hoping that the barbecue will sizzle again.

Agriculture skills to grow Skills in the agriculture, forestry and fisheries industries will be bolstered following an announcement in Canberra by Minister for Vocational Education and Skills, Luke Hartsuyker MP, of a new organisation to deliver training packages.

The organisation, Skills Impact, has been formed collaboratively by the National Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation (NFF) and ForestWorks, and is one of five Skills Service Organisations appointed to deliver training package functions on behalf of Government.

It will assume the role Industry Skills Councils previously held in the review and development of training products, including skills standards and qualifications.

NFF President Brent Finlay said the announcement marked the beginning of a new, more industry-driven approach to vocational education and training (VET) sector training package development and maintenance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As demand for Australian produce grows, we must increasingly rely on the right skills mix to drive productivity and this is why giving industry a stronger voice on education and training is so

important,â&#x20AC;? Mr Finlay said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our focus, through Skills Impact, is to ensure that the new training package model is both efficient and outcomes driven. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This means better value for money, deeper insight into industry skills needs and quality training outcomes on farm.â&#x20AC;?

Skills Impact will support a diverse range of renewable resource industries including agriculture, horticulture, forestry, arboriculture, conservation and land management, fishing, aquaculture, racing and food and beverage processing.

It will also support Industry Reference Committees in providing advice to the Australian Industry Skills Committee about industry skills needs. This advice feeds into the national strategy for development of VET sector training packages, skill standards and qualifications under the Australian Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Training Product Development for Australian Industry program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Agriculture is one of the most exciting industries in Australia in terms of potential growth in employment and earnings for the nation,â&#x20AC;? Mr Finlay said.

Less is more for WOW data

Rainfall for the week

For the week to 26 January 2016, rainfall was recorded in all States and Territories.

At the beginning of the week, an upper-level and surface trough triggered thunderstorms over the central and interior parts of Western Australia. A complex low pressure system moved across the southern coast and brought moderate to heavy falls to the South West Land Division and southern Goldfields of Western Australia.

A surface trough extended from the Northern Territory to southeastern Australia, and was responsible for cloud and embedded thunderstorms over the Northern Territory, most parts of South Australia, southern parts of NSW and over Victoria.

In the middle of the week, a number of troughs and an associated low moved through South Australia and into Victoria.

Another trough tracked east over southwest Queensland and NSW, with a low forming near the coast. Warm and humid air feeding into this trough generated widespread moderate falls over southern and eastern NSW and eastern Victoria.

In the last part of the week, a deepening surface trough near the west coast of Western Australia produced thunderstorms with moderate to heavy falls recorded from the Pilbara down to the South West Land Division. In the east, a broad area of low pressure triggered thunderstorms over much of northern and eastern Queensland, and eastern NSW, with moderate falls recorded.

Heavier falls were recorded over

central Queensland. Areas of low cloud lingered near the coasts of Victoria and Tasmania, with light rain falling due to an onshore airstream.

Scattered thunderstorm activity over northern Australia brought moderate to heavy falls to the Kimberley, Top End, Gulf Country and the Cape York Peninsula as a monsoon trough developed north of Australia during the week.

Rainfall totals between 50 mm and 100 mm were recorded in the Kimberley, Pilbara, Gascoyne and isolated parts of central and southwest Western Australia, the northwest, southwest and central parts of the Northern Territory, parts of northern and central Queensland along with small parts in the southeast and southwest, and isolated parts of the central coast of NSW. Rainfall totals between 10 mm and 50 mm were recorded in most of the western half and northern Western Australia, most of the Northern Territory except the southeast corner, northern, southern and parts of southeastern South Australia, most of Queensland except the far southwest and areas in the Herbert and Lower Burdekin district, most of NSW apart from the northwest, most of Victoria away from the southwest, and a small area in southwest Tasmania.

Little or no rainfall was recorded this week in central and southeastern parts of Western Australia, western, central and northeastern South Australia, far southwestern Queensland, a small area in the southeast of the Northern Territory, and most of Tasmania.

Holmes Sackett farm business consultant and Sheep CRC Post-Grad David Brown studied the factors affecting the potential adoption of in-paddock walk-over weighing for the Australian sheep industry.

In the new world of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Big Dataâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; determining what data is reliable and what is just â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;noiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is vital, and the case for in-paddock walkover-weighing (WOW) of sheep liveweight is no different according to Holmes Sackett farm business consultant David Brown.

The University of New England PhD graduate based his research on the use of WOW as a potential technology for regularly and precisely recording the live weights of individual animals and its possible application in the Australian sheep industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To take the available WOW technologies to the next level, we really need to hone the system to consistently capture individual liveweight records and reduce the volume of data that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t of interest to producers, so that they can monitor individual sheep or the whole flock and not feel overwhelmed by the amount of data,â&#x20AC;? he said.

WOW is commercially available technology used to remotely monitor sheep liveweight. The liveweight data is collected, processed and interpreted by livestock managers to aid nutritional management.

Through the Sheep CRC PostGrad Training Program, Dr Brown studied the factors affecting the potential adoption of in-paddock walk-over weighing for the Australian sheep industry.

Key outcomes of the research showed that the use of WOW to monitor sheep liveweights collectively can generate flock average liveweights with 95 per cent confidence intervals of less than 2kgs within five-day timeframes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This shows that WOW may help the nutritional management of commercial flocks as a whole, however, we also found that there needs to be improved repeatability of the data capture process, as well as the timeliness of individual WOW data, so that users can reliably differentiate the liveweights of individual sheep and manage their nutritional needs accordingly,â&#x20AC;? Mr Brown said.

Mr Brown said that changes in ewe liveweight impacts wool production and reproductive performance of the ewe, as well as survival and lifelong performance of the progeny. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This suggests that regular liveweight monitoring would

provide a robust and versatile tool for managing sheep flocks,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Mr Brown has worked with Holmes Sackett Pty Ltd in Wagga Wagga since 2010, providing benchmarking and advice for mixed farmers in south east Australia.

Each year Sheep CRC sponsors a number of postgraduate students, like David Brown, to undertake postgraduate research programs.

Graduate tracking surveys completed between 2009 and 2013 demonstrated that 70 per cent of postgraduates have since found employment directly within the sheep and cattle industries, and that 90pc had been retained more broadly within agriculture.

Following completion of his PhD thesis in December 2013, Dr Brown has continued his research into better ways to implement inpaddock WOW. More information on applying for Sheep CRC sponsored postgraduate training positions is available at www.sheepcrc.org.au.

Schute Bell wool report Regional Showgirl judging After a solid start to the calendar year the market this week gave back most of last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gains.

The volume of wool offered since returning from the recess is surprisingly higher than the corresponding period last season however this trend doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like continuing with weekly volumes looking like settling down around the mid 45,000 mark for the next month.

Falls were registered over both selling days with Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s declines the sharpest. 39,320 bales were sold nationally for the week with the passed in rate jumping to 13.5%, the majority being Merino Fleece types.

Major buyers included Chinatex, Tianyu and Techwool with a solid spread in the buying patterns.

In a positive the market was

actually dearer in US dollars this week pushing up to near the top of its trading range over the past six months.

The forward market went quiet this week with the drop in the physical leading to buyers pulling their bids back whilst growers sat firm on their asking price.

Next week is a designated superfine sale in Sydney which will hopefully lead to some solid support in the finer micron categories.

Over the weekend the 2016 Showgirl Zone 3 final was held in Tumut.

The title went to the girls from Bega and Bungendore.

Although they did not take out the win, Nimmitabel Showgirl Sarah Blyton and Cooma Showgirl Kristy Wassink (pictured) did well, representing their local areas with pride.

This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales 46,887 bales are expected to be on offer nationally with 14,350 in Sydney. Schute Bell, Wool Auctions, Goddard and Monaro Wool are selling on Thursday February 4.

The Showgirl Competition aims to find a young woman to act as an ambassador for rural NSW with her role involving many official and informal duties both at the Sydney Royal Easter Show and during her travels interstate and overseas.

It is not a beauty pageant. Most importantly the Showgirls must have a genuine interest in, and knowledge of, rural NSW.

The most significant examination of the wool selling system since the digital age, is now complete.

Commissioned by the Board of Australian Wool Innovation (AWI), the Wool Selling Systems Review has examined in detail the opportunities for innovation in the exchange of wool from the farm gate until it passes the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rail for export. The estimated total cost of this exchange of wool last financial year has been estimated at about $300 million.

The 68-page report, now available on wool.com/ wssr includes a number of significant findings or recommendations including the need for: â&#x20AC;˘cost savings associated with a merger of the Australian Wool Testing Authority (AWTA) and Australian Wool Exchange (AWEX), â&#x20AC;˘ greater transparency of all selling costs, â&#x20AC;˘ the potential for a tax-equivalent R&D investment to be made by AWTA given itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current tax-free status â&#x20AC;˘ potential problems with the current commission buying arrangements in the auction system, â&#x20AC;˘ a differentiated approach not necessarily requiring sample display of all wool and making greater use, where appropriate, of sale by description.

Many of the issues raised amongst the submissions and others such as centralisation of selling could be addressed with the development

of an online wool exchange portal. Such a development would cater for new selling and buying options, enable growers to compare available selling options and a more efficient exchange of information.

AWI CEO Stuart McCullough said the review involved some of the greatest competition and business minds in Australia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This very significant review was conducted at arms length to AWI. It involved almost 100 submissions and many more issues raised from a wide variety of viewpoints and much discussion and debate. This review explores some great opportunities to reduce the cost of selling wool for growers, reduce the barriers for those wanting to buy wool and to help bring the wool industry into the digital age.â&#x20AC;?

The Wool Selling Systems Panel included Fox & Lillie Managing Director James Lillie; Graeme Samuel AC, Monash Business School, Monash University; Bernard Wonder PSM, consultant and director; and William Wilson, director of Australian Investor Relation Services. John Roberts, director of Eubindal Pty Ltd was the executive officer and secretariat for the panel.

The Wool Selling Systems Report will now be discussed as part of ongoing consultation with shareholders.

John getting back on track from page 19 Of course since his return home, John had also had a chance to meet up with his mates again, and in 1946 he married one of their sisters, Alma, who had grown up while he had been away at war. His daughter, Judith (who now lives in Delegate with husband, Doug) and son, John were born in the following years.

Along with family and community life, John dedicated himself to his running, competing in events every Saturday, and winning five State Open Competition Awards, as well as picking up 28 second places and five thirds.

In 1971 he ran in marathons in America in the 50 to 59 age group in 5,000 and 10,000 metre events, managing to set world records and being named Man of the Championship.

John was also undefeated in the Masters Games for 10 years in all, running in events from 800 to 10,000 metres.

At 59 years of age John was achieving Olympic qualifying times, and set a marathon record in Canberra of 2 hours and 40 seconds, a record that still stands.

His last competition event was run at the age of 86, and he continued to run five kilometres a day until health challenges last year curtailed his running at 96 years of age. He hopes to overcome these still and get back to his runs shortly.

And despite his own successful sporting career, John has certainly not focused solely on himself. Always committed to the community, John was instrumental in opening the Canning Athletics Club and was President for 15 years.

He also coached other athletes from 1960 right up to 2015, five days a week, and is a voluntary Grade 3 coach in sprinting and hurdling.

Some of his talent rubbed off on his own children too, with Judy being second in the 800 metres State Junior Championships one year, and brother, John being a State Champion in both junior and senior javelin.

A life so rich in sporting achievements and commitment to others has seen John presented with a long list of outstanding awards, each of them well deserved. They include Order of Australia, presented by Prince Charles in 1975; Advance Australia Award, 1987; Australian Sports Medal; Centenary Medal; Community Sports Star of the Year, 1989/90; Australian Masters Hall of Fame, 2010; and Western Australian Blind Australian Sportsman of the Year.

And never forgetting his war years of course, John has marched and carried his 2/4th Machine Gun Battalion flag on Anzac Day for 40 years, being accompanied by his grandson, Jordan Cameron and great grandson, Aspen Cameron, both of Delegate, over recent years.

After a lifetime of great achievements, however, it his family that John is still most proud of. Alma sadly passed away three years ago after 66 years of marriage, but he has his two grown children, five grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren and two great great grandchildren. â&#x20AC;&#x153;John is an inspiration to all people,â&#x20AC;? a family friend says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has a terrific memory, is the loving head of his family, has shown great determination in extreme adversity, and illustrates the Australian spirit in making the best of all situations.â&#x20AC;?

Pictured, Matt Caldwell in action for the Bushpigs in the 2015 grand final at John Connors Oval.

Did you know that

Wild weather around the Monaro forced the cancellation of two cricket games, with the game between Jindabyne and The Aussie getting the only result.

Jindabyne won the toss and elected to bowl first with both teams fielding strong sides.

Matt Nicholson (1/25) got the breakthrough early, picking up The Aussie captain Kaeliff Khoury in the first over of the match who edged one to Lucas Rixon in the slips cordon.

Mitchell Hynes batted well to top score for The Aussie with 47 while wickets fell steadily at the other end.

Damien Asanovski was the only other batsman to help the cause making his way to 29.

Nick Hind (2/9) and the un-retired Mat Waller (4/25) were the pick of the Jindabyne bowlers, restricting The Aussie to 115.

The Jindabyne chase began under heavy skies and The Aussie’s opening bowler Chris Khoury (2/11) showed his class with the ball putting pressure on Jindy’s top order.

The returning Corey Tucker (1/22) was also strong, with Jindy struggling into the rain break well behind the required run rate.

Play resumed and The Aussie side pressed their advantage, knocking over Rixon, Stevens, Greening and Dixon to be right on top, with Asanovski taking 3/28.

With more weather around, a few quick runs were needed to give Jindy a hope.

The ladder leaders responded with Nicholson (50*) playing some big shots and riding his luck with Cummins (10) and Hind (16*) getting the tigers home with 10 overs and two wickets to spare.

PVJ V Berridale Peak View Jerangle played Berridale at Berridale and elected to bat on a very heavy and slow outfield.

Berridale got off to a rough start slumping to 2/22 after eight overs with PVJ’s James Ewart (3/9) bowling a great line and length to a tough 7-2 off side field, showing a great deal of patience and maturity.

With the change in bowlers, the Berridale middle order exploited the strong off side field with quite a few twos pinched on the leg side.

Matthew Bruce scored 23 in his first game back since November and managed to find some touch after a slow start, before falling to Justin Locker (4/29).

Andrew O’Keefe (48) joined Hearn (15) at the

crease and the pair got to drinks at 3/68, setting a fair platform to post a defendable score.

Archie Allen was brought back in to the attack and picked up the breakthrough wicket of Hearn, who was trying to find the ropes but instead found James Hayden who calmly held a towering outfield catch.

With the clouds rolling in and the sound of thunder in the distance, a shortened game looked inevitable so quick runs became the priority.

Berridale’s tail struggled with PVJ’s bowling attack who starved the in-form O’Keefe off the strike.

O’Keefe was once again in sublime form with the bat, but was the last wicket to fall just shy off his half century on 48.

Berridale were looking at a score of 160 midway through the match, but some tight bowling from PVJ restricted them to a respectable 143 all out.

With the players poised to take the field after the change of innings, Mother Nature intervened and the heavens opened up, forcing the match to be called off at 4.15.

Dalgety V Coffeys Dalgety played Coffeys at Nijong on the synthetic wicket and batted first after some superb form from Nick Moon in the coin toss.

The long grass and wet outfield made for tough batting conditions but didn’t trouble Coffey’s opener Zach Smith as he continued to find the boundary on his way to a quick fire 35.

Steve Sommerville came up with a brilliant return to form, batting patiently with the long tail before a flourish of boundaries saw him end up on 89.

Alex Moon, Jacob Moon and Peter Woodall supported well with the bat and Mark Williams continued his outstanding run of form once again batting with a strike rate of 400.

One punter was heard to remark that Williams’ recent run of form would make him an excellent candidate for the upcoming T20 world cup.

The wickets were shared between the Dalgety bowlers with Jake Hedger (1/25) finding his rhythm and bowling with good heat. Scotty Wilshire kept it tight picking up 1/12 and Dave Bartell picked up two wickets for six runs off his one over.

Coffeys were all out for a respectable 157 but the rain came over and with plenty of clouds coming in on the radar, the match was abandoned before Dalgety had a chance to bat.

Next week PVJ play Coffeys at Nijong, Dalgety play Jindabyne at Dalgety and The Aussie play Berridale at Berridale.

Wheatley wins Cooma’s Summer Cup Congratulations are due to Steve Wheatley who has won the Summer Cup first major trophy of the year, despite a below average round on Saturday to edge out Mal Crockett on a count back after four closely contested rounds.

The individual winners on Saturday were, A Grade Grant Tacilaskaus with 41 points from Brian Searl on 36; B Grade Dom Rossi with 39 points from Dave Douglass on 37 and C Grade Paul Lloyd on 35 from Tim Dorahy on a countback.

Balls were won by Tim Bedingfeld, Alan Kelly, Michael Connellan, Kim Howard and Mal Crockett.

Long drives were won by John Gargett (A Grade), Steve Wheatley (B Grade) and Wayne Flynn (C Grade), whilst Nearest the pins went to Mark Rainsford on the ninth and Mal Crockett on 17th.

Tuesday’s Stableford was won by Gary Batten with a great round of 42 points and balls were won by John Gargett, Chris Brown, Mark Rainsford, Lindsay Blewitt, Ged Mackay and Sean Smith.

Norm Marshall won nearest the pin on 17.

Wednesday’s Stableford was washed out.

Sunday saw Gary Batten do some more damage to his handicap as he continued his recent hot form with 40 points to win by five shots from second and nine shots from third, on a day that saw everyone else struggle (he probably could have won on Saturday too only to implode on

the back nine after some helpful soul offered him some advice !!).

Next best was Brian Searl with 35 points and balls were also won

by Wayne Flynn, Vic Carroll, Frank McKnight, Denis Minehan, Rulie Steinfort and Steve Young.

Nearest the Pin on nine was won by Denis Minehan and Brian Searl won NTP on 17.

Competitions over the next week will be a Stableford on Wednesday, the Monthly Medal Stroke event on Saturday and the Second Round of the year long Super Stableford on Sunday (with some great prizes on offer for the eventual winner).

Don’t forget that the ever popular Short Course Championship for men, women and juniors is coming up on Saturday 20 February, where the course is redesigned for the day to 18 par threes.

Put this one in your diaries.

Cooma classic pairs on this week

The draw for the Major Singles has been made and is now on the notice board so check it out to see who you play.

There are 40 players involved and this will mean that the following preliminary matches are set down for play on February 13, markers names in brackets. M Storta v R Lahy (B Seears), G Hamilton v A Gray (P Harris), R Roberson v W McDonald (M Mayhew), R Russell v G Venables (W Flynn), J Thompson v S Seears (J Sajina), K Weston v P Caldwell (S Lapham), T Croker v P Marsicano (K Goodwin), M Frezza v A Crowe (M Buckley).

Social bowlers on Saturday just managed to beat the rain to complete play on all three rinks.

Peter Harris played swinging lead for Max Butler and Renate Winckel and for Leonie Snell and Margherita Zasso.

Peter, Max and Renate made a great start in gaining a 6/0 lead after four ends. They then lost four ends in a row before regaining the lead 10/8 but only scored one more shot for Peter, Leonie and Margherita to win 15/11.

Mick Mayhew and Mike Mannile seemed to have been in control for most of their match with Ken Rees and Ron Wainwright with the latter spending five ends on 11 shots whilst Mick and Mike advanced to 21 and eventually won 24/15.

Maureen D’Amico and Geoff Venables made a shaky start against Sergio Roncelli and Olga Jebbink but kept Sergio and Olga on seven shots for eight ends to lead 17/7, then spent seven ends on 17 but finished in a friendly 19/19 score line.

All bowls, social, pennant and Monaro Shield was washed out on Sunday and the Pennants and Monaro Shield matches set down for play on January 31 will be played at the end of the rounds if it could have an influence on the final positions.

There have been some changes to the Cooma Two Pennant side to play Cooma One on Sunday February 7.

The team is; M Mayhew, T Gray, C Roberson, and K Weston; M Frezza, J Vincent, G D’Amico and T Croker; R.Wainwright, R Nichols, J Barrrnes and P Cannell. Reserves are M Mannile and I Mondello. There is also a change to the Cooma One side with Daniel Clough replacing Garry Taylor.

Cooma classic pairs into fourth year On Thursday and Friday this week Cooma

Bowling Club will again be the venue for the Cooma Classsic Pairs. This will be the fourth year of the tournament and its popularity with bowlers is growing each year.

This year teams will travel from Sydney, Wollongong, Canberra, Tomakin, Tuross Heads, Bega and the usual large contingent from Tura Beach.

These teams will be competing with the top bowlers from Cooma club for what promises to be two great days of bowling action.

Four of last year’s place getters will be on show again and this proves that it is a tournament worth travelling to.

Good prizemoney provided by our local sponsors ensures that the tournament continues to build on the success of previous years and attracts top competition.

A calcutta will be held at the club with Chippy Boller as auctioneer on Thursday evening from about 5pm and this is your chance to become a part of the action and allows you to purchase a participating team to give you an interest.

The local teams will be well supported in the calcutta with some dark horses among them, so a bargain buy for a chance to get some serious prizemoney is there for the taking.

A fun event well worth attending.

The major sponsors this year are Cooma ExServices Club, High Country Autos, Kel and Anne Markam (Alpine Milk) and BCIB Club insurance Brokers. Other business sponsors are Cooma Taxis, Last and Maxwell, Aussie Hotel and Joss Facility Maintenance.

So whether you are a bowler or would like have a look at some good entertainment on either Thursday or Friday or both come along to the Bowlo, play commences each day at 9.30am and you can be assured to see some good bowls action.

Who knows next year you may want to be involved either as a player or sponsor.

The Annual General Meeting of the Cooma Country and Bowling Club will be held at the Clubhouse on February 7 commencing at 11am.

Come along to hear the Reports from the Board, plans for the future and join in the discussions.

Your attendance will also demonstrate appreciation of the efforts of the various Board Members.

Remember, they are all volunteers.

Cameron selected for Youth Olympics team Jindabyne based freestyle skier Cameron Waddell has been given the opportunity to take part in the upcoming Youth Winter Olympics.

16 year old Waddell will represent Australia in the ski slopestyle and and halfpipe events at the games in Lillehammer, Norway.

Waddell has been training and competing in Colorado and is looking to be well prepared for the games come mid February.

His final competition ahead of Lillehammer 2016 will be the Mammoth Mountain Rev Tour at the end of January.

When he arrives in Norway, Waddell will compete in the halfpipe competition in Oslo and then head to Hafjell Freepark for the slopestyle event on the final day of competition Scandinavia has a reputation for producing some of the

biggest names in freestyle skiing and the youngster is excited about his first visit to the region.

“I’ve never been to Lillehammer or Norway but I’ve always wanted to go to Scandinavia because a lot of people I know tell me about how much of an amazing place Scandinavia is and I’ve always wanted to see the fjords and ski in Norway,” he said in a press release issued by the Australian Olympic Committee.

“I think the course will be amazing. I mean Norway is home to some of the best pipe and slopestyle skiers on the planet so of course I think the course will be good.”

Waddell is excited about the prospect of representing his country and is under no illusions as to the degree of competition at the top level.

“I expect that the level will be extremely high from all

countries especially a lot of European and Scandinavian countries, as well as riders from the USA and New Zealand.

There will be a lot really big tricks thrown by all competitors.

“I’m hoping to be able to land a run in both halfpipe and slope style that will challenge me to my full potential. Hopefully that will give me a high score.”

The Lillehammer Winter Youth Olympic Games will feature 70 nations competing in 70 events across nine days.

The young athletes will also be given the opportunity to participate in the ‘Learn and Share’ program, which is designed to educate athletes on the Olympic values, living a healthy lifestyle and give them the chance to speak to a host of athlete role models.

New Fillies Cooma rodeo entries are now open coach The Cooma Fillies have announced the signing of new coach Brett Simpson for 2016.

Brett has lived in Cooma for 21 years and is the proprietor of Monaro Magic Clean.

Brett has an illustrious sports career in his own right, having played and coached national state league level soccer and won a number of premierships.

He signed on with the Cooma Stallions last year and is excited about giving back to the club that has been very welcoming to him and his sons.

“The Stallions have welcomed my sons and me so it’s a way of returning the favour and being involved,” he said.

Brett will be taking over the reigns from Craig Schofield who will be staying on as mentor after helping training the girls for a very successful couple of years since the team’s inception in 2011.

In that time, the Fillies have advanced their way to four grand finals, won two premierships and they made the qualifying finals last year.

2016 will bring new representative opportunities for the league tag with the female athletes being given the opportunity to advance their representative careers.

Coaching staff are hoping this will provide some incentive for more athletes to sign on as they are currently a little light on numbers.

“This is the first year the girls can advance their rep careers. We’re hoping that will act as a bit of incentive. Any players with talent will be recognised and be able to play representative Group 16,” former coach Craig Schofield said.

Training for the Fillies started last night and any one who is interested in playing is encouraged to get to training or contact Brett on 0402205987.

Bare-foot bowlers help out with fund raising About 20 bare foot bowlers braved the weather on Australia Day to help Lisa Drury raise money for the Stillbirth Foundation.

The event was well attended by friends, old and new, and everyone had a fantastic time.

Lisa successfully gained entry to the London Marathon, out of over 247,000 applicants, and aims to raise $10,000 for the foundation, a cause that is very close to her heart.

The day turned out to be a fantastic event in spite of the inclement weather and Lisa is very thankful to everyone who has helped her along the way.

The Cooma Bowling Club were very helpful in organising the fun activities and everyone who attended enjoyed themselves.

You can donate to Lisa’s cause by visiting Lisa’s Everyday Hero page online https://london2016. everydayhero.com/au/lisa

Locals win at Woden Little Athletics Cameron Taylor and Damian Kennedy competed at Woden on the weekend of Saturday January 16 in the U8 and U9 events 70m, 100m, 200m, 800m, shotput and discus.

It was a great day with many athletes from the Canberra athletics clubs competing.

Cameron and Damian performed very well against the rest of the field

January Shoot Compak

on a new synthetic track.

Results Cameron Taylor U8 boys: Shotput 4.33m, long jump 2.8m, 200m 42.38 sec, 100m 19.78 sec and 70m 13.96 sec.

Results Damian Kennedy U9 boys: 100m 17.4 sec (second place), 200m 39.5 sec (third place), 800m 3.22 sec (third place), long jump 2.8m (third place) and discus 8.69m.

With an ominous weather forecast 30 shooters arrived at the Cooma Field and Games shooting grounds on Saturday to compete in the first Compak event of 2016. Fortunately for those brave enough to take the challenge, the showers cleared at 9.30 ready for the first squads to take to the range. This break in the weather lasted all day seeing out all of the competition and most of the packing up before the skies opened up again and torrential rain fell that had to be seen to be believed.

Two ranges were on offer with a good variety of targets, the general consensus being that “B range” was a little more challenging than “A range”. The Compak format seems to be a good program for new shooters as it offers a more consistent range of targets. This allows them to gain valuable practise and experience. All of the newer shooters on the day thoroughly enjoying themselves with much improved performances.

Bill Warriner once again led the way and took out high gun which included a perfect 25 round.
