Local motorists are urged to beware changes made to local diesel supplies which have made it likely to freeze in temperatures less than minus four degrees Celsius. Some local motorists have been caught in recent weeks, and this has caused considerable damage to their vehicles. Alpine Mix diesel fuel is sold in all petrol stations in areas with severe winter conditions to ensure diesel fuel doesn’t freeze over in cold temperatures. In the last three years however, government legislation has lowered the sulphur in diesel, because of greenhouse gas emissions, meaning its freezing point is much warmer than it used to be.

Paul Lester from Region Service Station, Cooma, has been fighting to solve the problem of freezing diesel.

FROZEN FUEL!

The current Australian standard of Alpine Mix diesel has a freezing point of minus five degrees, which is hardly practical in the severe winters on the Monaro or the Snowy Mountains. All diesel fuels contain wax molecules. These are natural components of the crude oil that diesel is produced from. Wax is considered an important diesel component because of its high cetane value for good ignition quality of the fuel. However, in severe winter conditions especially in inland or high country areas, the diesel may get cold enough for the wax to start to crystallise and solidify. If enough wax crystals solidify, the fuel lines, filters and strainers in diesel powered engines and machinery may become blocked and as a result may become difficult or impossible to start and operate. This phenomenon is known as “waxing”. Over the last three years there have been many reports of accidents, car damage and work time lost due to the freezing

point of Alpine Mix diesel not being low enough for our harsh winters. Paul Lester from Region Service Station Cooma and Mick Klima from Rhythm Snowsports Petrol Station believe that this is a huge safety issue for anyone using diesel powered engines and machinery and it’s just not good enough. Mr Lester has been fighting it for years through fuel representatives as well as speaking to members of government throughout NSW. He says the scary thing is that vehicles and machinery can become blocked and stop even while they are in operation. “They just don’t understand because this doesn’t happen to the same extent anywhere else in Australia. It’s like hitting your head up against a brick wall,” Mr Lester explained. Mick Klima is concerned that people aren’t aware of the issue, especially tourists travelling to the mountains who don’t

understand that diesel has a freezing point. “It’s definitely a safety issue and an inconvenience for people and it needs to change but because it only effects a very small amount of people the government doesn’t worry about it,” Mr Klima said. Although Emergency Services, machinery workers and buses are hugely inconvenienced by the high freezing point of diesel fuel they have found ways to combat this issue so that they aren’t affected by it. Monaro Rural Fire Service Team Manager, Jim Darrant, says that it was a huge issue for the RFS before they became aware of it but they now combat it by adding additives to their diesel fuel. “It’s still a concern though, it’s something extra that could go wrong. It’s an inconvenience and a potential risk,” he said.

Cooma-Monaro Shire mayor Dean Lynch is going to contest the seat of EdenMonaro in the September Federal elections. Mr Lynch has been endorsed as a candidate for the Palmer United Party. His candidature has given the elections a whole new look. Previously, it was expected Liberal candidate Peter Hendy would take the seat from Labor’s Mike Kelly, who holds the seat with a majority of 4.2percent. Polls had indicated an easy victory for the Liberals. However, the result may not be so clear cut. If Mr Lynch isn’t elected, his preferences are expected to play a big role in the final count. Mr Lynch told The Monaro Post he had decided to stand because he was sick of the background deals being done by major political parties which impacted on this region. He said after talking to Clive Palmer last week, he had decided he liked the way he thought and the way he did business. “We talked about the way the country should be run. I have been unhappy with the representation being given to the south east region. I decided it was time to put up or shut up. “If I don’t get elected, I won’t lose any sleep over it – I have plenty to do” he said. “If I am elected the region will get a strong local member and I believe I can ensure that some of the wealth which is created locally, comes back to the local community. Asked what his wife, Louise, thought of his candidature, Mr Lynch said ”Louise just rolls her eyes and supports me, whatever I do.”. Mr Lynch has been Mayor of the Cooma Monaro Shire for the past four years and during this time

Broad confirmed as Snowy Hydro CEO Snowy Hydro Chairman Bruce Hogan last Thursday announced that Paul Broad would be the new CEO of Snowy Hydro. Mr Hogan said, “The process to find a new CEO has been a thorough one and all shareholders (NSW, Victorian and Commonwealth Governments) have now confirmed the Snowy Hydro Board’s recommendation to appoint Mr Paul Broad as the next CEO of the Company”. Incoming CEO Mr Paul Broad said “It is an honour to be selected as the next CEO of Snowy Hydro. I am looking forward to leading a highly professional team as we continue to upgrade the Snowy Scheme, meet the challenges of a changing energy market and continue our support and involvement with our local communities and stakeholders”. Mr Broad will commence as CEO of Snowy Hydro on July 23. “The Board of Snowy Hydro

he has been the driving force behind a tertiary facility, economic development and tourism for the Cooma Monaro Region. Professor Palmer said Mr Lynch was an outstanding candidate for a crucial seat which has historically been held by the governing party. “We are delighted that Dean Lynch has decided to stand for the Palmer United Party in Eden-Monaro,” he said. “He is a highly credentialed candidate for what will be one of the most closely watched seats at the September 14 election. “A win by Dean Lynch in Eden-Monaro will be a key to the Palmer United Party becoming Australia’s next government.” Mr Lynch, who is a fifth generation farmer with extensive business experience, said he loved being an independent politician at local government level but he felt he would be able to represent local people more effectively if he entered the federal arena. “I believe Australians are sick of the way the country is currently being run,” he said. “Where has the common sense gone? This is why I am prepared to dedicate my time and energy to the Palmer United Party. “I believe that Australians are entitled to a better government. The Palmer United Party’s policies will stimulate growth in our economy, reduce taxes and build confidence in Australia’s business community. “Together we will work to create a stronger economy and a fairer society that will benefit all Australians now and well in to the future.”

is extremely pleased to have a leader of the calibre of Paul Broad to succeed Terry Charlton. Under Terry Charlton’s leadership, Snowy Hydro has developed into a strong competitor and key participant in the National Electricity Market. The Board is confident that Paul Broad is an excellent choice to build on this outstanding work and take Snowy Hydro forward into the future,” Mr Hogan added. Outgoing CEO Terry Charlton said, “I welcome the appointment of Paul Broad. I have known him for many years within our industry and believe he will be an excellent CEO of the Company. I know his skills and experience are ideally suited in ensuring a successful Snowy Hydro well into the future”. Mr Broad has previously been CEO of Infrastructure NSW, CEO of AAPT, Managing Director of PowerTel and head of Energy Australia, Sydney Water and Hunter Water.

Mayors condemn new Local Land Services SRSC LEP

temporarily ‘on hold’

Snowy River Shire Council has deferred accepting a ’conversion� Local Environment Plan so it can further investigate people’s concerns. The LEP was to be voted on at council’s May 28 meeting. The plan had been on pubic exhibition and had attracted 44 submissions. Mayor John Cahill said council wanted more time to fully investigate the claims in the submission. He said one proponent, representing others is expected to address council. Mayor Cahill said council needed to more fully understand what it was people were asking. He said the plan should be revised and/or adopted early this month.

COOMA Three local mayors have condemned the State Government’s consultation. announcement about decisions around the future of Local Mayor of Bombala Shire, Bob Stewart, said he was ‘pretty Land Services. disappointed’ with the final outcome. NSW Minister for Primary Industries Katrina Hodgkinson “They haven’t listened to much. announced her decisions last Tuesday, following “We are not going to get as good a result for our rates� he recommendations put forward by the Local Land Services said.

Mayors condemn new LLS Continued from Page 3... “I spoke to Katrina Hodgkinson at the Bombala mill opening and she told me ‘we’re on your side’ and guaranteed me that we would not be worse off. “I told her I was glad she wasn’t on the other side. “This new system will require very careful monitoring in its setup to ensure we don’t lose any more jobs, apart from anything else. “We have good local blokes here who know their jobs and know the region – they don’t want to be dragged off all around the state away from their families. “I have grave concerns about whether we will be getting adequate service from this plan. “I hope the new board structure gets it right – it’s going to be a very big commitment for the board members and I don’t think anyone here would have the time. “It’s just a precursor to what’s going to happen to local government. I don’t have a very high opinion of the review panels recommendations. This will not be an easy transition� Cr Stewart said. Snowy River Shire mayor, John Cahill, was similarly critical of the new region. “It’s a huge area, one of the biggest in the state with huge stocking rates. “It’s totally against everything all the tablelands local governments requested. “We don’t want the coastal areas in our region – they don’t run like the tablelands and is the most intensively subdivided area in the state. “How are they going to get small landholders to contribute?� I am absolutely devastated by what they have done to the DPI – that impact will be felt for generations of farmers. “They have ripped $30million out of the rural industry. “For example, the DPI has started a trial on control of African Lovegrass on 21 paddocks, using seven different control methods. That has now just been abandoned because there is no-one to run it. Cooma-Monaro mayor, dean Lynch, is also spectical. He said it looks like another tier of government being created and doubts if the minister understands that. He said the final decision was exactley what “we didn’t want�.

future of Local Land Services. “There were few surprises in the decisions made by the Minister, with most being in line with the Reference Panel recommendations,� said Ian Donges, Chair of LHPA State Management Council. “What’s really important for the LHPA is that after almost two years to the day since the review into LHPAs commenced, the uncertainty is now over and we can look forward and plan our role in the new organisation�. As the LHPA representative on the Local Land Services Reference Panel, Mr Donges advocated for 11 Local Land Services regions, which was the minority recommendation agreed to by the Minister. “We are also happy to see that the Minister agreed to a Local Land Services Western division, an option that LHPA directors also strongly supported. “Now LHPA staff can get an understanding of the regions and boundaries and the direction the Minister wants to take for the new organisation, and that’s a positive thing for us after a long period of not knowing our future,� said Mr Donges. He said that although LHPA preferred the option of four elected and four appointed directors for each board, the Minister’s decision of four appointed and three elected directors was one that they would work with. “Our current LHPA directors are being encouraged to apply for positions on the 11 Local Land Services boards, whether as Chairs, appointed or elected directors, as their knowledge, experience and commitment to representing farmers in their area would make them real assets for the new organisation. The same should be said for LHPA operational staff who all have important roles to play in Local Land Services�. “With LHPA primarily funded by ratepayers, and Local Land Services to receive a significant proportion of its funding from landholder rates, an exemption for payroll tax would be appropriate�. He said that as well as starting work on change plans to transition into Local Land Services, the next step for LHPA is to respond to the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) call for submissions to determine the Local Land Services rating structure. “The rating methodology is important to LHPA ratepayers and we would prefer rating to have a component that includes a contribution to cover the public good, such as pest animal management,� he said. We also support the Minister’s decision to increase rates in line with the CPI�. Local Land Services will commence operations on January 1, 2014.

Imagine you are a ninety-year-old pensioner, living on the $730/ fortnight pension. Imagine also, that having worked all your life and been frugal with your finances, you had a little nest egg sitting in a bank account for use when the day came to pay for your funeral. This money, sitting quietly in the bank, accumulating interest and ready for the day it was needed. Now imagine what it would be like to open your bank statement for that account and discover a nil balance. Would you be shocked? Frightened? Distraught? This is exactly what happened to one Cooma resident last week. Luckily, the resident was spared the shock and anger of seeing the nil balance because their financial affairs are handled by a family member who has power of attorney.

“Under our Government’s changes, this will now happen after three years of inactivity instead of seven. “It’s much harder to search for lost monies if they are held privately by banks – if you’ve forgotten about your money and maybe moved house, you’re hardly likely to remember which bank it’s in. “The fact that banks are making contact with their customers about money they’ve lost or forgotten about earlier than they have in the past, is clearly a good thing for customers. “In addition, the Government will pay interest on lost money transferred to ASIC at the rate of CPI inflation from 1 July 2013, to preserve its value until it can be reunited with its owners. “The unclaimed moneys system has been in place for well over half a century, and this will be the first time a Government has ever paid interest on these accounts.

What had happened was the Commonwealth Government had claimed the money as ’unclaimed money’ because the account hadn’t been activated for three years. Simply having interest paid into the account is not considered an activity, apparently. Legislation which was rushed through late last year changed existing legislation, reducing the time an account can remain inactive before being ‘claimed’ from seven years to three years. The changes were supposed to take affect as of May 31 2013, but money has already been removed from accounts. Under the new legislation, there is no legal onus on the banks to advise their customers that their account is about to be considered ‘inactive’ and the money diverted to ASIC. While most banks do advise their customers of the fact, in this case last week, no notification was received. Prompt action meant a halt could be put on the process and the transaction reversed – although this still took time. There have been other reports of other people being caught out the same way. In Queensland, it was reported that a patient in hospital for 21 days for major heart surgery, returned home to find his account had been emptied. He was apparently told it will take about eight weeks for the money to be returned to his account. For a senior citizen, eight weeks might be too long. The Monaro Post asked the Member for Eden-Monaro, Mike Kelly, to explain why the legislation was changed. He replied: “There are literally hundreds of thousands of Australians with money in old bank accounts which they have lost track of. “The Federal Government’s changes will help reunite Australians with their lost money sooner, and protect them from being eroded by fees, charges and inflation. “It is far easier for people to track down lost bank accounts once they are transferred to ASIC and added to the online database at the MoneySmart website.

“Under the old rules, the money would sit with the bank for seven years, where it was often being hit with account keeping fees and charges, and was receiving little or no interest. “I would encourage all individuals to search ASIC’s online database at moneysmart.gov.au, to check whether they or a family member are the owner of any of the $677 million in existing unclaimed moneys. “Alternatively, people can call the ASIC Infoline on 1300 300 630 (or +61 3 5177 3988 from outside Australia). “Once an amount is located, the owner can reclaim their lost moneys at any time by contacting the relevant financial institution,�. he said. While Dr Kelly supports the legislation, others do not. National Seniors Australia is dismayed at the introduction of the legislation. National Seniors chief executive Michael O’Neill said older Australians were one group of people who could be stung by the new law. “Older Australians may not touch their secondary or back-up accounts for a few years. It does not mean it is unclaimed or indeed inactive and certainly it is not necessary for Government to become involved and seize the funds. “The three year limit is just ridiculous.� Despite the money being seized by the Australia Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC), it does not mean the money is lost forever. People can make a claim for the money to be returned but the process is often lengthy and costs could apply. “We urge depositors to complete a transaction to prevent being caught up by this cash grab,’’ he said. “We also urge the Government to better inform people about this legislation so they do not get a nasty surprise.� To search free for unclaimed money go to the Money Smart website.

New extensions open at Sharp St Surgery After struggling for years to juggle specialists, doctors and Allied Health nurses amongst only eight consulting rooms it was either up or out for Sharp Street Surgery and they chose the latter and extended next door. Last Wednesday night Sharp Street Surgery held the official opening of their new building at 182 Sharp Street, which will be used for visiting specialists and Allied Health nurses. Reception staff, doctors, Allied Health nurses and community members attended the opening and it was a great success. The building has been opened for almost a month but had not been officially opened until last Wednesday night. Sharp Street Surgery currently has three visiting specialists who come to the surgery once a month as well as Allied Health nurses who visit the surgery on a weekly basis. The building will provide three consulting rooms for specialist doctors as well as two large nurse areas for Allied Health nurses. It also provides disabled parking at the rear of the building and disabled access at the front. The building was previously used as the Home and Community Care (HACC) Centre however when the staff from HACC moved to the new Werri-Nina centre, the building became available to Sharp

HAVE YOUR SAY ON THE FUTURE DIRECTIONS FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT REFORM

Street Surgery. Phil Swain completed the building and construction work and David Epstein and Judith Truiter completed the architectural and interior design. Jenny Dorahy, Sharp Street Practice Manager, says she’s very excited about the new addition to Sharp Street. “We’ve been struggling to juggle specialists, doctors and nurses amongst the eight rooms for years and the practice is still growing. There was no doubt about it; we needed to expand. Hopefully it will encourage more specialists to come to the area because they provide a wonderful service to the community,� she said.

Six injured in crash Six people were seviously injured in a motor vehicle accident on Snowy River Way near Bungarby at approximately 8.30am Sunday morning when a car and a mini bus collided. Police, Fire Rescue from Bombala and Ambulance crews from Bombala, Cooma and Jindabyne attended the scene. The mini bus was transporting a Jindabyne Netball team on their way to Bega for the day. Two people were transported in the Southcare Helicopter to Canberra Hospital with leg injuries. Another was transported straight to Canberra Hospital by ambulance with lower leg injuries and a possible fractured rib. Another female was transported to Cooma Hospital with reported neck and chest pain and a mother and son were transported to Cooma Hospital with minor injuries. The search for Canadian bushwalker Prabhdeep Srawn in Kosciusko National Park has been

called off for the time being. Police are monitoring weather conditions and where possible may resume the search if the weather permits. At 6.30pm last Monday Cooma Fire Brigade attended a house with a ceiling fire at Holts Flat. The fire was contained to the ceiling and was completely extinguished. Cooma Fire Brigade also attended a chimney fire last Tuesday at 7pm in Baron Street, which was successfully extinguished and contained to the chimney. At 10am on Saturday morning Cooma Fire Brigade attended a diesel spill, which stretched from Massie Street to Smith Street. The brigade cleaned up the spill with sand to absorb the fuel. Despite numerous attempts to contact Cooma Police on Monday, The Monaro Post was unable to obtain any further information on local issues.

The report from the Independent Local Government Review Panel was released on the 24 April 2013. It is a progress report that will form the basis for further consultation with Councils and their communities. The report sets out a series of options for consideration as it enters the final stages of its review program and builds on Better, Stronger Local Government: The Case for Sustainable Change which the Panel released in November 2012. The Review Panel will consult widely over the coming months, visiting 29 regional cities and towns from 9 May until 14 June 2013; which will assist in clarifying certain issues and proposals being put forward. At the completion of the consultation and close of public submissions, the Panel will then finalise its report to Government. A Regional Community Hearing on this important review will be held on the 5 June 2013, at the Cooma Multifunction Centre from 5.00pm till 7.00pm. The hearing will provide the opportunity for local residents and organisations to "have your say" and to put forward views on the various issues and proposals raised in the paper. Some key issues and challenges impacting on your Shire's economic development and regional service delivery involve proposals such as the introduction of County Councils, proposed options for amalgamation of councils, new rating-revenue sourcing systems, the financial sustainability of councils and transitional funding; these are just some of the reform topics under consideration. Given the importance of Local Government in addressing future community service delivery and associated financial requirements within your Shire, I urge all rate payers to come to this free session and gain first-hand knowledge as to the new proposals and your future expectations and involvement with Council. A full copy of the Report, Future Directions for NSW Local Government Twenty Essential Steps, details on how to make comments on the paper or to make an address to the Panel at one of the community hearings, please visit the Panel's web site: www.localgovernmentreview.nsw.gov.au.

Brumbies not destroying KNP the

postman calls

Ever been caught short? The Postman was told of a chap who had to use the pubic toilets in Centennial Park recently. He was glad of the convenience, but a bit dismayed when there was no toilet paper to accompany the plumbing. Luckily, there was this old magazine lying about… Maybe there needs to be a signal activated when the last sheet is removed from the holder? So, our Cooma mayor is going to give the big parties a bit of a challenge – good for him. Many Australians seem to be completely sick of politics and politicians it seems. How many of you simply turn off the sound, or the TV, when pollies start talking? It seems that until being a politician becomes a vocation again, instead of a career, we are destined to the same old, same old. Good luck to Dean in his campaign – the electorate deserves someone who knows us and is willing to fight for us. So, has anyone else been caught out by the changed ‘unclaimed monies’ legislation? The Postman would like to hear of anyone else who had a similar incident to that reported on page 6 today. It’s really sad that our ‘legislators’ have no idea, or no regard, for the people who are most impacted by their decisions. It’s a bit like fiddling with the alpine diesel mix. It probably won’t be until some bureaucrat or politician gets stuck with frozen fuel, that they will take any notice of what people are trying to tell them

Editor, Once again our poor old Snowy Mountain brumbies have been vilified by academics and instantaneously the call of extremist greens is for the horses to be culled by shooting” stated. ‘The Observations of Pest Horse Impacts report published this week is merely the observations from a two day drive through visit.’ ‘People should realise that this is not a hands and knees scientific study. Having read the report, it is merely biased opinions being documented, possibly as a favour or commissioned by the extremist greens National Parks Association (NPA) who for years have lobbied for total eradication of the brumbies. Why is it we never see these reports on deer or pigs? The report seems to be conveniently timed as complex negotiations are currently underway with NPWS and horse riders for a horse riding trial in Kosciuszko National Park (KNP) as part of the NSW Government’s Strategic Directions for horse-riding in National Parks. A figure of 14,000 brumbies in the Pilot wilderness was reported in news reports and is absolutely absurd. The report does refer to another report that states that without any management, 14,000 brumbies could be a possible (but unlikely) prediction in the future for the whole of the Australian Alps (NSW & Vic) covering an area more than half the size of Tasmania. The horses have been here for over

150 years now, it is not likely that their numbers will just keep increasing particularly if the mountain horseriders were once again permitted to manage the numbers as they had done for over 100 years up until the 1980s’. In 2005 a report by NPWS stated horse numbers were at approximately 1800 in the whole park. The same ecologists have stated that in optimum environmental and health circumstances horse numbers could increase by 20 percent at best per year which results in approx 2800 horses in 2013 in whole park. This does not include any deaths and meanwhile several hundreds of horses have been trapped and removed since then from the northern end of the park. The brumby impacts that are being inferred to as major and significantly damaging is spurious interpretation, stream banks for example are used by all animals and any impacts are renewed in the next flood and snow melt as does the regeneration of the bush after a fire. A big snowfall this winter or fire in summer could see hundreds of horse deaths again, but that’s nature’s way. Mrs Leisa Caldwell, Snowy Mountains Horse Riders Association, former member of the Kosciuszko National Park Wild Horse Management Steering Committee

Riposte Lisa Ashurst Remember when people didn’t have personal computers, no Internet and no mobile phones? Okay there may be some of you who cannot imagine such a world but I can remember it and what brought this to mind was overhearing two people chatting in the supermarket who were convinced it must have been a ghastly place before “all the conveniences” arrived. Well as the old saying goes, you don’t miss what you don’t have. Basically, before the advent of the above, people got along just fine and despite the lack of current technology managed to work and socialise. They did this via a landline telephone, letters and face-to-face contact and it worked really well. They even managed to find romantic partners and to be honest, not once do I ever remember hearing anyone be moaning the lack of a technology they’d never heard of. The social side of things was really good because people actually went out to meet other people and it was the same deal when it came to looking for and meeting someone romantically. They met in the physical world, got to know each other, became friends and if it all went well would become a couple and if it continued along swimmingly, made their relationship

a permanent one. It was a nice way to find and start a relationship. I think some people still do it that way today but with the number of dating sites doing the rounds I’m guessing a lot more are taking the faster option, feeding all their info to the site and then continuing with their lives while waiting for the dating service to match them up with possibilities. It probably puts them in contact with a lot of people but it’s not very romantic in my opinion. A chance meeting in the real world feels so much nicer and even the busiest of people can manage that. But anyway, before things like “spell check” people used dictionaries. They used reference books and the like for information or consulted with someone in the know who could fill them in. They could cope with a trip to the shops sans phone, because they couldn’t exactly drag the landline along with them and you know what? They managed and didn’t fret about who may be trying to contact them and why. Come to think of it, the freedom was amazing! Sure, the internet and all the rest are great but before they arrived things were just fine and the world certainly wasn’t a ghastly place. Ever wonder though how we’d all manage if it went away again? I’d be okay because I have a dictionary.

Off to Africa to help children At the end of June a group of 10 members from Cooma Baptist Church will be spending two and a half weeks in Africa helping communities through education and physical labour.

In the heart of Italy, Harvard professor of symbology Robert Langdon is drawn into a harrowing world centered on one of history’s most enduring and mysterious literary masterpieces . . . Dante’s Inferno. Against this backdrop, Langdon battles a chilling adversary and grapples with an ingenious riddle that pulls him into a landscape of classic art, secret passageways, and futuristic science. Drawing from Dante’s dark epic poem, Langdon races to find answers and decide whom to trust . . . before the world is irrevocably altered.

Jindabyne water mains replacement As part of the Annual Mains Replacement Program Council engaged contractors Benex Pipelines to replace the water mains and pipes in Park Road, parts of Gippsland Street and Munyang Street, Jindabyne. This project valued, at $1.2M, is nearing completion and will result in an upgrade of the pipes from 80mm and 100mm to 150mm diameter pipes, resulting in residents receiving a higher level of service, not only in water quality but also in water flow and pressure. Council would like to thank affected residents for their patience and understanding whilst these works have been in progress. To minimise damage to road surfaces Council chose the “pipe bursting� method rather than open trenching. However some road pavements have been affected due to unforeseen large rocks. These

sections will be made safe over the winter period with the restoration of the roads completed after winter as warm weather is required for effective bitumen sealing. In addition, we have unfortunately been notified by the contractors that a Telstra cable was damaged during the works, located on the corner of Munyang Street and Park Road. The damage has been rectified. Council was not advised at the time of the damage and therefore unable to notify residents. This error and the following lack of communication is being addressed with the contractor however, we do apologise for any inconvenience that this may have caused to residents. In October the next stage of the Annual Mains Replacement Program, being the sewer mains replacement in Townsend Street, will be carried out.

Banjo Paterson Park re-opens Snowy River Shire Council is pleased to inform residents in Jindabyne thatwork on the Banjo Paterson Playground is now complete and the Park is open for play. Council’s Manager Operations, Gary Shakespeare, said “Council understands that the closure of playgrounds is not a popular decision but we now feel that the playground is in a much safer

condition for the children to use.� “We thank the Community for their patience during the restoration work and would also like to thank Mr Paul Larkin for his time and assistance with the project. Council is looking at maintenance work on other playgrounds in the Shire, and the Community will be notified when these are due to occur as well as any planned closures.�

TIPS FOR REDUCING WOODSMOKE THIS WINTER • When lighting a cold heater, use plenty of dry kindling to establish a good fire quickly. • Use several small logs rather than one large one and stack them loosely so air can circulate. • Keep the flame lively and bright. (Wood will smoke when you first light it) • Open the air controls fully for 5

minutes before and 15-20 minutes after reloading your heater • Check the chimney regularly to see how well your fire is burning. • If there is smoke coming from the chimney open the air supply to your fire. • Clean or have your chimney cleaned every year to prevent creosote build-up.

BUGS condemns suggested brumby massacre Six hundred brumbies slaughtered with automatic gunfire from helicopters in the Guy Fawkes National Park by the former ALP Government regime, should be a deterrent to current Minister Robyn Parker according to President of the Snowy Mountains Bush Users Group (SMBUG) Peter Cochran. “Fanatical claims by Greens and other extreme environmental groups that there are 14000 Brumbies in the Alpine National Parks has put pressure on the Minister to engage aerial shooting which was eventually ruled out by the ALP Minister Debus after worldwide condemnation of the Guy Fawkes massacre”, Mr Cochran claimed. “On the eve of commemorating the centenary of Gallipoli, “Waler” descendants of the Australian Light Horse mounts could be the subject of another carnage.” “I am calling on Minister Robyn Parker to immediately rule out aerial culling. The iconic Australian High Country Brumby deserves a more dignified death than to be left to drag themselves around for days, wounded and starving as occurred in Guy Fawkes in 2001.” Mr Cochran continued, “Having used the theme of Brumbies and The Man from Snowy River at the opening ceremony of the 2000 Olympics, the then NSW ALP Government authorised the slaughter of 600 Brumbies in Guy Fawkes. It defies belief that the same methodology could be contemplated again. One wonders where the Animal Liberation movement stands on aerial culling of Brumbies having recently condemned live cattle exports. I suggest they are in the same camp as the Greens.” “Any attempt by the NSW Government to aerial cull Brumbies will be met with a strenuous campaign including civil disobedience if necessary,” Mr Cochran concluded. A report by Professor Graeme Warboys and Ian Pulsford, claims there are now 14,000 brumbies in the park. “There are just too many pest horses,” said Australian National

University Adjunct Fellow Dr Graeme Worboys, lead author of a new report titled Observations of Pest Horse Impacts (copy attached) and protected area manager specialist. “Our observations in the Mount Pilot Wilderness Area of Kosciuszko National Park showed multiple impacts from an estimated 14,000 horses, including overgrazing, collapsing stream banks, stream erosion and sphagnum bog and streamside wetland destruction. “This is destroying the natural vegetation and erosion protection of these headwater catchments and what’s serious, with the numbers of pest horses increasing, it can only get worse.” Ian Pulsford, a mountains expert and former senior conservation and protected area manager, co-authored the report. “The two of us have inspected this Mt Pilot of Kosciuszko area intermittently for 40 years and while horses have always been present, this is the worst horse impacts we have ever seen,” Mr Pulsford said. “These high mountain catchments are too important to be damaged because they deliver crystalclean mountain waters to Victoria via the Snowy River and to Adelaide via the Murray River. “This Mt Pilot area is the very top of the continental divide and the highest source of these important waters.” Healthy sub-alpine catchments for the Murray and Snowy Rivers include rich native streamside vegetation, wetlands with abundant vegetation cover and deep layers of sphagnum moss and an associated rich assemblage of specially adapted Australian mountain native wildlife. “We have observed that the pest horses are destroying these streamside environments, which means that the streams are eroding,

they are charged with sediment and are very susceptible to rapid runoff and flood events,” Dr Worboys said. The May 2013 Observations of Pest Horse Impacts in the Australian Alps, March 2013 report was prepared by Graeme L. Worboys and Ian Pulsford and is available at www.mountainswcpa.org

Jindabyne phones out On May 22, 85 households and businesses in Jindabyne lost their phone lines when a large cable was cut nearby by a third party digging an underground bore. Households and businesses in Jindabyne found themselves without their landlines or EFTPOS. Shoppers and businesses were inconvenienced and households found themselves unable to communicate on their landlines or use their Internet. Telstra claims to have had the cable repaired and phone lines restored by May 25 however many community members still claim to be without a landline. Chris Taylor, Telstra General

Manager for the area said that even after the cable was repaired there were still a dozen existing faults reported. “As soon as we become aware that a line is down we deploy our rapid response teams to the area - they work through the night, rain, hail to get the lines up and running, and stay on site for as long as that takes.The message here is to dial before you dig. We would encourage anyone planning excavation work or needing to dig to call the free Dial before you Dig service on 1100 or to visit 1100. com.au for information about cables (including Telstra cables),” Mr Taylor said.

Cooma CWA news The May meeting of the Cooma CWA was chaired by President Barbara Scanes who welcomed everybody. The attendance was down due to illness among the ladies and a number of members were away on a bus trip. Reports were given by the delegates who attended the State Conference at Moree and branch matters were dealt with later in the meeting. Coral McKenzie and Beatty Russell represented Cooma Branch as delegates and also from the branch Barbara Scanes group president, Kaye Anderson State Treasurer and Margaret Kristiansen as observer. Approximately 500 delegates attended the conference plus many observers and staff. Tanya Cameron from Rowena Branch was voted in as the new state president and gave an inspiring acceptance speech. The CWA State Choir performed at the Ecumenical service on Sunday and gave an impressive rendition of The Holy City. More than $3300 was collected at the service and this was to be used in the Moree area. Speakers during the conference wet Pip Courtney, Landline presenter/ reporter; the founder of Friendly Faces/Helping Hands, Kelly Foran and Sam Bailey, who has become an inspirational speaker and author after a serious car accident left him paralysed from the waist down.

Test for biosecurity strategy will be in delivery NSW Farmers welcomed the release of the NSW Biosecurity Strategy last week and called on the NSW Government to work with farmers to ensure it is successfully implemented. NSW Farmers’ President Fiona Simson said on the whole the strategy is a good blueprint for ensuring a robust biosecurity system in the years ahead but has called on the government to clarify the cost sharing arrangements and to guarantee equality of responsibility for both public and private landholders. “We are particularly pleased the government has made it clear that Local Land Services (LLS) will be an important part of the delivery and implementation of this strategy,” Ms Simson said. “Landholders have made it clear that for the LLS model to work they need to see more action to target existing

pest species than has been the case under the Livestock Health and Pest Authority model. “To ensure this is the case we are calling on the government to strengthen any new legislation to ensure that LLS boards have a responsibility to actively manage declared pests, direct resources to the eradication of declared pests and initiate a formal independent evaluation of the effectiveness and efficiency of current weed and pest management arrangements in NSW.” The foundation of the strategy is that biosecurity will be a shared responsibility and NSW Farmers is pleased the government has committed to increasing the numbers of well-trained and resourced people. Ms Simson has made it clear that for this goal to be met the government will have to direct additional resources

to the strategy’s implementation. “Over the past year, 50 biosecurity staff from the Department of Primary Industries have had their jobs cut as $5.6 million has been removed from biosecurity services,” she said. “Landholders are prepared to do their bit to protect our economy, environment and community from biosecurity threats but the government must commit to reversing the decline in funding and recognise that the resources it directs to biosecurity are an investment in the future prosperity of the state.” The NSW Biosecurity Strategy 2013-2021 was launched on 22 May 2013 and provides the framework for biosecurity management in NSW. The strategy expands on the existing 2007 NSW Biosecurity Strategy to address not only primary industries but the broader biosecurity

spectrum in terms of biodiversity and the natural environment, infrastructure and service industries as well as lifestyle, recreation, sport and social amenity.

Farmers in NSW are frustrated at the perceived lack of action by the NSW Government on native vegetation while other eastern states move to simplify their native vegetation legal frameworks to improve farm productivity and streamline vegetation management. The move by Victoria this week to simplify its legal frameworks follows the Queensland Government’s March announcement to amend its native vegetation laws passed in parliament this week and due to come into effect later this year. NSW Farmers’ President Fiona Simson said developments in Queensland and Victoria have left farmers in New South Wales frustrated that their concerns about native vegetation laws aren’t being progressed and actioned quickly enough. She said native vegetation laws are the biggest regulatory hurdle to food and fibre production in NSW holding back more than $1 billion worth of production each year. Ms Simson said one of NSW Government’s NSW 2021 targets is to improve agricultural productivity. “We believe the current native vegetation regime is holding the bush back from being able to reach its full potential and meet the 2021 targets,” she said. “The government needs to understand the impact that current laws are having on our farming community in particular the level of productivity that is being

lost. This loss of productivity has clear flow on effects for our regional and rural communities as well. “We have cooperated with a review process instigated by the NSW Environment Minister Robyn Parker but we are still waiting for the government to report back on recommendations and any actions to be taken.” NSW Farmers is calling on the government to implement a new approach to vegetation management to enable farmers to achieve environmental outcomes and increase productivity. Farmers in NSW lead the country in environmental sustainability, investing more lion than 3 million person dayss per year managing their weed, pest, land and soil problems.

Securing our food future: farmers welcome National Food Plan A day after the Australian agricultural sector came together in Canberra to progress the sector’s strategic plan, the Blueprint for Australian Agriculture, farmers have welcomed the Government’s long-awaited plan for the future of the food sector, the National Food Plan. National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) President Duncan Fraser says the Plan, released in Brisbane by Minister Ludwig today, responds to many of the challenges set for the Government by the NFF. “The Food Plan, at its highest level, is designed to help Australian food businesses overcome their diverse challenges, and benefit from emerging markets in Asia. It’s an ambitious goal, and to ensure it remains relevant - and beneficial - to farmers at the forefront of producing our food, the NFF set a series of direct challenges to the Government: things we wanted to see included in the Food Plan,� Mr Fraser said. “We are pleased to see today that the Government has listened. “We asked the Government to include collaboration between the agricultural sector and the Government on the creation of brands to promote

Australian production. Today, the Minister has announced $2 million as part of the Food Plan to develop a brand identity for Australian food and related technology. “We asked the Government to ensure that work is done beyond the farm gate to improve opportunities for farmers to sell their produce, including a greater investment in understanding international markets. The Minister has today announced $28.5 million for research to tackle roadblocks to export, including a study into food needs and preferences, helping businesses increase their exports. “We asked the Government to ensure that investment is made into technical capacity – ensuring that we build strong relationships with our key markets, so that these market opportunities are then translated into sales of produce. We are pleased to note that the Food Plan includes $5.6 million to build relationships with trading partners, including expanding the network of specialists that support agricultural trade in Asia. “We asked for competitiveness and benchmarking

tools to drive an increase in productivity across the supply chain, including a review of current legislation with the aim of reducing the amount of red tape. The Government has today said it will invest in a Productivity Commission review to identify priority areas of reform of food supply regulations, from paddock to plate. “Finally, and perhaps most importantly, we asked the Government to play a role in working with the agricultural sector to improve consumers’ understanding and perception of agriculture. We welcome the inclusion of $1.5 million to develop resources and provide professional development to support teaching about food and agriculture through the Australian curriculum – this is a starting point for what must be a greater long-term investment from Government and industry. “This is a great outcome for Australian farmers, the NFF and agriculture in general, and we look forward to working with both current and future governments on the implementation of the Food Plan,� Mr Fraser said.

Schute bell wool report It was a tale of two markets this week with Merino Fleece types struggling whilst Merino Skirtings, Crossbreds and Cardings continued their strong run up of recent time. The different usages of these types of wool obviously are coming into play highlighting that the higher end apparel sector is struggling. Losses occurred over both selling days with the final day showing a glimmer of life for the medium types, managing to gain a few cents. 31,296 bales were sold nationally for the week with a passed in rate of 9.3%. Major buyers included Lempriere, Techwool and Fox & Lillie. Quantities on offer over the next three weeks continue to decline with just 25,000 bales next week. Sydney is reduced to a one day sale and the Western region is not selling. This will be followed up by 32,000 and 26,000 bales respectively the following fortnight. These small national offerings should be enough to keep the ship steady even though buyers are unwilling to take on any

stock. Orders are being filled on a daily basis when they are received and this may lead to greater weekly fluctuations both up and down to what we have been used to. Next Week’s Sales 25,045 bales are expected to be on offer nationally with 8,260 of these in Sydney. Schute Bell, Wool Auctions, Goddard & Monaro Wool are selling on Wednesday 5th June.

Powerful safety tips as winter starts to bite As temperatures across parts of South Eastern NSW drop below zero overnight, Essential Energy is reminding households to stay safe with electricity during this winter. Regional manager South Eastern, Phillip Green, said that with temperatures falling, the use of heaters and electric blankets was rising. He said households should follow a few simple steps to reduce the risk of electrical fires caused by faulty or misused appliances in the colder months. “More than 40 per cent of fatal house fires occur in winter, so it’s extremely important to take all possible precautions to reduce the potential for such an

event,” Mr Green said. “Keep heaters at least one metre away from flammable items like furniture, bedding, clothing, curtains or rugs – and supervise young children at all times near appliances to prevent burns. “The bathroom can be one of the coldest rooms in the house, so while it’s tempting to move a portable heater in there, only ever use a bathroom-safe model.” Essential Energy recommends checking the condition of any electrical appliances before use, particularly if they have been stored for some time. “Some of the signs of electrical wear and tear include loose plugs, frayed leads or exposed wires, mechanisms not

working as they should, broken power points or switches and unsafe wiring,” Mr Green said. “Cleaning any dust from appliances using a vacuum or dry cloth can also improve safety but if you’re unsure about an appliance you should have it tested by an authorised electrical repairer for peace of mind.” When choosing new appliances, be sure to consider all the safety and energy efficiency variables for different types of equipment. “If you’re looking for a new heater, make sure to choose a model that has an automatic cut-off switch that activates if the heater is accidentally knocked over,” Phillip said.

Introducing Accunect.

“Always switch off heaters and other electrical appliances before you leave the room or go to sleep – and make sure your fire alarms are working correctly as an extra precaution.” Mr Green said householders should also think about ways to make their homes more thermally efficient, including using things as simple as using a ‘door snake’ to block draughts of cold air. Other ways to prevent temperature extremes include installing ceiling and wall insulation, closing curtains and blinds and, in winter, dressing warmly.

From the Pigpen Under 10s On Saturday the under 10s Piglets had a home game at Jindabyne. It was a cloudy, rainy morning but that didn’t stop us from playing a brilliant game. The Piglets beat St Eddies 41-14. Everyone had a great game and many people including Angus, Jackson, Harry and me made a break through the defence. The try scorers were Zach, Regan, Ky, Jackson, Harry, Akira and Griffin with Angus and Griff kicking the conversions. The piglets had a The Jindabyne girls were forced to defend in their own great game all around and everybody played well. GO YOU 22 for most of the first half, the referee seemed intent on MIGHTY PIGLETS!!! dominating the game by penalising the Jindabyne Girls out of the game.

Cooma squash report Some interesting results were again the highlight of last week’s matches. For Hydraulinks Cooma young Tim Wassink disposed of Matthew Nader ( Monaro Discount Tyres) in three games but Matt Shirvington made amends be doing the same thing to Troy Stevenson who was not having the best of nights. Jed Mackay started off well against Tony Potter by winning the first two games. But Tony – playing for Paul Dyball Builders – started to read Jed’s game and then took the next three games 10-8, 9-1 and 9-2. We think Jed must have run out of petrol! Annika Jones (Snowy Hydro) – having already played a game against Darcy Clayton – jumped up a level and took on John Harding. They played five hard fought games – both playing well – before John won the last game 9-1. Well

played Annika – newly married life must be doing you good! We don’t know whether the loss of the beard is to blame but Chris Tame – previously undefeated – has not won a match since he shaved it off! In last week’s match against Sarah Hamilton he won the first two 9-2, 9-2 then lost the next three10-8, 10-7 and 10-3. Methinks a beard could be on the way back! For the same team as Sarah (Hillross) Jacqui Schofield won her first two games against young hotshot Steve Johnson but finally succumbed to his fitness and lost the next three. Team rankings so far are: Truckstop 68.5, Kleven Spain 49, Hillross 44.5, Snowy Hydro 39.5, Monaro Discount Tyres 38.5, Paul Dyball Builders 36.5, Hydraulinks Cooma 32, Cooma Trophy & Gifts 27.5

Red Devils couldn’t contain Goulburn The Cooma Red Devils travelled to Goulburn to take on the ladder leaders in both grades and were unsuccessful in both grades with Goulburn playing the better footy in the testing conditions. Reserve grade took to the field with a full side ready to make up for their narrow loss in the first round encounter. With inclement weather conditions and an already damp playing surface it took both sides a while to settle and get used to the conditions. Both sides were finding it hard to control the greasy ball and with a strong wind behind Cooma in the first half Cooma were looking to play field position and make Goulburn work it out of their own half. It was Goulburn who was able to score first after Cooma made an error and from a five meter scrum Goulburn scored which was unconverted for a 5-0 lead. Cooma reduced the minutes later after Nathan Boate kicked a penalty goal, Cooma was able to work the ball back down the field after some good strong runs from Cody Henderson, Nat Jennings and Luke Van der Platt. With this field position Boate was able to kick another penalty goal to take the lead 6-5, Goulburn regained the lead with a try five minute out from half time and took back the lead. With a minute before half time Cooma was again awarded a penalty and again Boate kicked a penalty goal to reduce the deficit to 10-9 at halftime. Cooma came out in the second half and dominated for the first 10

minutes which allowed Boate to kick another penalty goal, Goulburn hit back with a try of their own. Cooma again responded and this time it was Chris Robinson who was able to score after the Devils worked a short blind side and Robbo was able to get the ball and run it around to score Boate again converted the try. The Red Devils then switched off for the next 10 minutes and Goulburn were able to run in three tries, with only good defence from the Schouten brothers, Doctor Tom and Adam Schofield stopping Goulburn from scoring further points. Goulburn ended up running out winners 39-19. Points in second grade 1 point Cody Henderson and Neil Schouten, 2 points Ben Schouten, 3 points Adam Schofield and player’s player Adam Schubert First grade First grade took to the field ready for a tough game with the ladder leaders and that is exactly what they got. For the first half both sides played entertaining rugby which was fast, good, clean rugby especially considering the weather conditions and the wet ball making handling conditions not the greatest. Both sides were defending with plenty of venom but it was all the Red Devils for the first 20 minutes of the game but as soon as Cooma got into a point scoring area a simple mistake would allow the pressure to be released. Goulburn, on the other hand, as were able convert their opportunities into points and soon had a 6-nil lead after they kicked two

penalty goals. Cooma was able to respond with a penalty of their own when Ryan Morgan landed a penalty goal from 35 metres. Goulburn then responded with a try but only after they had been denied points after some great scrambling defence from Alex Moon, Ryan Morgan and Matty Lee had shut down a break from Goulburn, and the forwards were able to get back and hold Goulburn out for the next five minutes. Goulburn went into half time leading 13-3 but Cooma was right in the ball game, the second half was much the same as the first with Cooma controlling the game for large periods but every time Goulburn got inside Cooma’s half they were able to post points. Cooma looked like it was going to score more points after some good strong runs from Jimmy Nicholls, Phil Johnson, James Strange and Andrew Rolfe, got Cooma well into the Goulburn half but again they could not find a way to get across the try line. Cooma then had a lapse in concentration and allowed Goulburn to score two easy tries which blew the score out to 35-3 which was the final score. In a game where the score didn’t reflect how close the actual game was. A mention also must go to Tom McGuire and Neil Schouten who played a full game of firsts after playing full games in second

Cooma bowlers contest pennants Cooma ladies travelled to Tathra on Sunday May 19, to play in the Region Nine playoffs of the number four Pennants. Although the weather was fine the wind and greens gave the girls a bit of a fright how fast they were running on Sunday afternoon for their trial run. On Monday morning Cooma played Dalmeny in the first round. Early in the morning the greens suited our girls first up as they were running a bit slower and the wind was a bit kinder. On the first rink Dot, Roulie, Mary and Evelyn played with great confidence and direction taking the lead after the third end and kept Dalmeny out of reach only allowing them six winning ends, Cooma winning 25-12. On the second rink Una, Hazel, Cheryl and Daphne kept in touch until end 12 when Dalmeny gave Cooma little chance to score, picking up only four further shots and unfortunately going down 13-27 . This gave both teams one rink each but unfortunately Dalmeny had the overall aggregate 3934. This meant Cooma had to pull themselves in on the afternoon game against Eden to have any chance of staying in the competition. After lunch Dot’s girls once again took the lead early, leading 14-4 on end nine, looking rosey. Eden plugged along with a few multiples from here on and by end 19 had bridged the gap to one shot Pictured, from left, D Fraser, C Meillon, H Walker, U Roberson, D Jackson, R Steinfort, M Obermaier, and E Hamilton. and Eden won the next end by one to equal 20.

Snowy Mountains yard dog trials The Snowy Mountains Yard Dog Trial held at Jindabyne Equestrian Resort on May 18 and 19, lived up to its name with frosty weather greeting sheep dog trialers. But with the indoor equestrian centre providing shelter for handlers and spectators, a full weekend of sheep working dog trialling was enjoyed by visiting competitors and spectators. Thirty competitors with 90 working dog competed in encourage, maiden and novice classes on Saturday with the open class dogs competing on Sunday. Members of Monaro Utility Dog Club transformed the equestrian arena into a challenging but workable trial course with obstacles likely to be encountered on most sheep working properties. The trial sheep were manageable on this course but were inclined to be difficult and flighty being herded into some of these obstacles. All credit to the handlers and their dogs who were able to make the finals. The novice final was staged under lights on Saturday evening.

Further points flowed for Marist with a full time score of 72-0…..

Cooma Colts have some big wins Snowy River Painting U8 Winter welcomed the Bungendore Tigers but the Snowy River Painting U8 Colts used the cold bleak Cooma morning to rev them up and keep on moving! Running some excellent shimmy and shakes to get over the try line several times were Louis Mould, Lee Morgan and Jordan Williams. Some strong runs by Clayton Clarke, Shane Williams and Jack McPherson which saw them get over. Cameron Filtness and Charlie Fleming used great technique to bring down some big fellas with great ball movement and support from Tommy Russell, Jayden McCole and Jacob Smith saved a number of tries. Mason Turner, Jack McPherson and Shane Williams converted. The Colts score 46-12. Well done boys!! Well deserved Awards - Jordan Williams, Charlie Fleming and Clayton Clarke. Monaro Panel Beaters U9 Another tough game today for Monaro Panel Beaters U9, battling the cold, wind and some big fellas in the opposition, which ultimately proved the difference, with the Valley Dragons taking out the match. There were some outstanding classic tackling on display, as usual by James Bannon, Lachlan Hemphill, Kristian Zusak and Talon Kelly. Also defending well were Brock Freeburn, Michael Day and Adam Constance, the boys also carrying the ball with determination, fighting to break the first line of defence. Barrett Bannon’s service from dummy half keeps getting better each week, with a few clever darts from dummy half, showing he’s confident playing that role. Cody Clarke ran strongly and helped out in defence well and taking over the dummy half duties, also improving in that role. Jake Maddrell again was involving himself with strong leg drive pulling several defenders along with him. Marcus Riley is keeping his running straighter and using his feet well. Jonah Perea and Alex Aitkenhead had limited opportunities off the bench, but Alex made several long runs out wide and Jonah never gives up in defence, chasing them down with determination. Kayla Fleming also came off the bench and immediately stiffened up the middle in defence as well making strong runs through the middle and out wide. Flynn Palmer’s always busy, making tackles and proving to be fleet footed with the ball. Tries to Talon Kelly and Brock Freeburn. Player of the Week was Brock Freeburn. McDonalds Award was Talon Kelly.

Dylan Elton made a great dash from the opposition to score in the corner after some great ball work from Will Saddler and Tim Bottom.

Josh Dwyer-Gersak and Luke Day had an awesome game tackling and running the ball perfectly. Lachlan Inskip again found the try line, with Bill Zammit soon to follow suit and cross the line again with Lachlan Inskip converting. Jarrod Jeszczenko is improving with every game with great skill in both attack and defence. James Hill raced away up the side line to score next. Lachlan Inskip finished the game of scoring in the corner after a fantastic offload by James Cahill. A big thank you to Remy Oldrey and Declan Gregory for helping out today, both boys had a great game. Maccas award went to Lachlan Jones, 2 points went to James Cahill and medal went to James Hill. Bec’s award went to Bill Zammit. Thanks to League Safe Peter Gersak and first Aid Joe Zammit and also Tammy Byrne for helping out. Snowy Plains Merino Stud U14 The Snowy Plains Merino Stud U14’s played Tuggeranong Knights. Our boys got off to a great start with strong attacking by the forwards, Joel Saville, Bailey Davies and Kane Trent-Smith. From a scrum we were able to get the ball out through the back line with Will Shingles and Charlie Allen directing the play to Jake Hedger who was able to score and convert his own try making it 6 nil within the first 10 minutes of the game. With us in possession again in didn’t take long for the forwards Alex Swan and Bailey Davies to attack hard then with a powerful run Carson Barrett pushed off the defence to score a 50 metre try, which we converted making the score 12 nil. Several short kick offs from the opposition saw Timothy Gregory with safe hands take the ball up putting us in a good attacking position. Charlie Allen, reading the game well, put a

kick in across field and Timothy Gregory raced through to score in the corner. The score was now 16 nil. With an interchange to the side, new comer Bailey Burke went to five-eighth, Will Shingles went to Hooker and Mathew Robinson went into the front row. Mathew Robinson, Joel Saville and Alex Swan made strong tackles after we lost the ball then regaining possession our forwards made plenty of metres with strong runs by Carson Barrett, Dane Freimanis and Joel Saville, which put Charlie Allen in good position on two occasions to score two quick tries making the half time score 24 nil. In the second half there was good defence by Jamie Rogers, Declan Gregory and Matthew Chelin which saw us soon gain possession and a good run by Bailey Burke saw us on the attack, then a further good run by Patrick Connolly saw Patrick score a 40 metre solo try under the posts. With the conversion successful Cooma now led 30 to nil. We lost possession from the kick off and Tuggeranong Knights were pushing the line where they scored a soft try from dummy half and a successful conversion saw the score become 30 to 6. With great defence from the kick off saw Cooma gain possession and at 30 metres out a couple of good runs by the forwards enabled Will Shingles at dummy half to scoot around and put the ball over the line making the score 34 to 6. Jake Hedger made a couple of good one on one strips to put us back in attack and Will Shingles kicked across field to Jake Hedger to catch on the full and score a great individual try. The final score was 38 to 6. Awards went to Timothy Gregory for Players Player and the McDonalds award went to Jake Hedger. Service One Members Banking U15 Last Sunday the Service One Members Banking U15 Colts took on competition leaders Queanbeyan Roos at home. Coming off a strong win the boys were keen to continue their good form and try and upset the unbeaten Roos. From the kick off we had the right attitude and some good pressure on their ball players caused an early mistake which allowed us great field position. Great work from our forwards took us deep into Roos territory and Fanning crossed for us to have an early 6-0 lead. We were playing our best footy of the season and had the Queanbeyan boys making mistakes. Strong running from Freeman, Wenban and Walker allowed easy metres against the bigger opposition forwards and we were unlucky

not to score. At half time the score was 12 all after a nice Freebody kick was swooped on by Fanning for his second. Hayden converted and it was game on. We had several chances in the second half to cause a big upset but the Roos changed their game plan and we did not react missing some simple tackles and making errors eventually going down 26-12. It was by far our best effort of the year and if we put in and play to our game plan we can match it with the best. There were some great efforts all over the field and we are the only team that has kept Queanbeyan under 36 this season. The man of the match went to Steve “Ink� Freeman who is improving each week, 3 points, Jacob Wenban ran hard all day 2 points and 1 point went to our new player Ben Layton. Well done Boys! Australian Hotel U16 The Australian Hotel U16’s took on West Belconnen Blue last Friday night coming away with a resounding victory by 34-4. From the opening exchanges between the two teams the Colts asserted their authority with the forwards, led by Zammit, Rendoth, Reed and Bodycott-Pielli eating up the metres, giving the backline a chance to shine. Josh Zammit opened the scoring in the second minute, and this was backed up shortly after with a try to Aaron Pidcock following West Belconnen giving away a number of penalties. The Colts continued to pressure the West Belconnen defence and would have gone further ahead had they been able to control the football. Aaron bagged himself a double before halftime running 50m to score and take the score to 16-0. West Belconnen hit back right on half time with a try wide out to open their account. The Colts received 3 penalties in their first four sets to continue their attack in the second half. Tyler Jones scored off the back of a great run by Josh Zammit and followed this up shortly after to also score his second try of the night. The Colts backs of Mackay, Hopkin, Markham and Rolfe were running strongly off the direction of the halves of Steinke, Pidcock and Blyton. The impact of the forwards from the bench was proving a headache for the West Belconnen defence with Trotter and Graf running freely and Austin Riley was solid in defence from start to finish. Jerod Blyton put the icing on the cake with a try just before fulltime which took the final score to 34-4. Joint medal winners were awarded to Josh Zammit and Aaron Pidcock for high intensity efforts.

Bill Elder Shield presentation Last week the Bill Elder Shield was presented to the Club by the family of the late Bill Elder Senior. Bill was a keen Wednesday Bowler for the Wednesday Bowls Competition and has not been contested for some years. The Shield will be brought back into play on Wednesday June 12 2013 with further play on each second Wednesday of the month up to and including November. The three most successful players over the six months will have their names engraved on the shield for 2013, with the presentation at Peter’s Christmas party day in December. Details of point scoring and other conditions of play will be published next week. The more you play the greater the chance of scoring maximum points, or of course,

getting beaten, but you will still get a point for turning up. A final reminder to all players, play commences at 12.30pm each day with names in by 11.30am and make sure you speak to a person, as an answering machine message may not be recorded. Five very hardy and keen bowlers turned up for Social Bowls on Sunday. Mark Buckley played swinging lead for Don Jarvis and Neil McGregor against Richard Nichols and Geoff Venables with Richard and Geoff getting the verdict 22 to 20. A new event for this year will be Handicap Triples. The entry sheet will be up shortly for individual entries with teams being formed from those who enter. Keep watching.

Cooma ladies golf On Wednesday May 29 a small field hit off in the nine-hole stableford competition. The winner, playing immaculate gol,f was Maureen Fletcher with 21 points. Runner up was Clare Nowland who won on a countback from Julie Upton and

Joan Bracher, all three having 18 points. Julie and Joan received balls and nearest the pin winner was Beaty Russell. There was no ladies competition over the week end. Until next week TTFN

Kurt Wassink is supported by Maddy Wood -Isle as they deny the Tigers the ball. Our local team Snowy Supercats faced a tough and determined Queanbeyan side on a damp day at Snowy Oval. Fielding only 14 local players against a strong Tigers team was always going to be a challenge but the team can hold their heads high as they played yet another good game of AFL here in Cooma. The boys and girls are developing their skills well and put new drills into practice when the opportunity arose. This game saw the return of the Saddler brothers, who play other football codes during the weekend and used these skills to their advantage. The game started with the Tigers pressuring

our backline early on and put the Supercats on the back foot. Stronger defense slowed the tigers down in the second quarter but it was enough to change the outcome. Dan Swain retired injured and this left a hole in our defence. Chloe Ware continues to display her versatility on the field being able to play in the forwards or the backs and was awarded the Coaches Choice for this game. All our players showed a lot of heart during the game and will continue to develop as a team. Training is on Tuesdays and Thursdays at snowy oval starting at 5pm. If you are interested in playing come along and have a go.

Cats’ last minute victory at Snowy The Aussie Hotel Cooma Cats have kept their season alive with a dramatic two point win over competition leaders the Goulburn Swans at Snowy Oval on Saturday. The final score read: Cooma Cats 10-12-72 defeating Goulburn Swans 10-10-70. The win sees the Cats sitting in six place and only half a game outside the top five on the AFL Canberra Division Three premiership ladder. They are two games clear of the next team Cootamundra with who they drew the previous week. Cats coach Damien (Azzo) Asanovski was a relieved man when the final siren sounded with his team two points in front, and knocking off the previously unbeaten Swans. “After the draw the previous week, I don’t think I could have stood it if we’d had another one,” Azzo said. “And to knock off the previously unbeaten top side made the win all the more pleasing. “The boys did a fantastic job and thoroughly deserve the points in what was a make or break game for the team for this season,” he said. A loss on the weekend would have seen possible finals action in September slip from reach as the top five sides continue to cement their positions on the ladder, while the bottom have of the table slips further away. In sixth spot, the Cats are well clear of the bottom half of the ladder, and well in touch with the top five. But Azzo was philosophical about what so far has been the Cats best season in too many years to remember. “We’re not even thinking about finals, we’re just concentrating on getting a good team on the paddock each week and taking each game one

by one,” he said. “We can’t afford to get ahead of ourselves. We’ve just got to keep on winning and we’ll worry about what happens in September then. “We’re half way through the season and I’m happy, but we’ve still got another half a season of footy to go,” he said. The AFL Canberra Division Three competition takes its mid-season break this weekend with Cats next game at Football Park in Canberra on Saturday June 15. Casino fund raising night a big success The Aussie Hotel Cooma Cats held their major fund raising night at their sponsor’s venue on Saturday night.
