Driving School and Snowy Hydro was established to deliver the Young Driver Training Program. Snowy Mountains Driving School is based in Cooma and is owned and operated by Craig Williams. Craig has more than 20 years experience in driver training working within the NSW Police Force, Roads & Traffic Authority and through the Snowy Mountains Driving School. Craig delivers both the theory and practical elements of the program using the skid car provided by Snowy Hydro. “I am very passionate about educating young drivers and this partnership with Snowy Hydro in delivering the Young Driver Training Program allows me to educate more students on the risks of driving in the conditions of the Snowy Mountains,” said Craig Williams. “How the skid-car simulates losing control in icy conditions on the road is a one-off opportunity that no other high school students in Australia get to experience,” concluded Craig. Snowy Hydro CEO, Terry Charlton, said “The Snowy Hydro Young Driver Training Program educates local Year 12 students on safe driving attitudes and behaviours and is a key element of our Community Partnerships Program.” “The success of the program is a direct result of Snowy Hydro’s partnership with local schools, as well as a local business in the Snowy Mountains Driving School, and provides a tremendous outcome not only for students and their families but for the entire community sharing the roads of the Snowy Mountains.”

Police arrest 32 in drugs Operation Delicate - Sarah Kleven Since last Tuesday 32 people from the state’s southeast, including three Cooma men, have been arrested as a result of numerous drug related offences as part of a major drug operation across the region. The arrests were made by officers attached to Strike Force Delicate, which was formed by Monaro Local Area Command in August 2012 to investigate the supply of illicit drugs in the area. Police have seized illicit drugs - including heroin, methylamphetamine, ecstasy and cannabis - with an estimated street value in excess of $420,000. Firearms, ammunition and other weapons have also been seized. On Tuesday police dismantled a number of drug supply chains and made 24 arrests throughout the day, which included three men in Cooma, 15 in Queanbeyan, four in the ACT, one in Goulburn and one in Sydney. Last Wednesday two of the three Cooma men arrested appeared before Magistrate Dick at Cooma Courthouse, along with another six men arrested in Queanbeyan, as a result of the drug raids on Tuesday. Daniel Doughton, 34, from Cooma, appeared before the Cooma Court however his case was adjourned and he will make an application for bail on May 15 at Goulbourn district court. Until then he will remain in custody. Philip Daley 32, also from Cooma, was charged with five drug related offences and was remanded in custody, with bail refused. The other six Queanbeyan men who appeared before the court were, Scott Swinton, Edward Mapiva, Matthew William Tanson, Kerry James Watmore, David Cooper and Darren Daniel. David Cooper and Matthew Tanson were granted bail with conditions; the other four men were refused bail and will reappear in Goulbourn Court on June 12. Mr Doughton and Mr Daley, along with another

37-year-old Cooma man were arrested in Cooma after drug raids on a number of properties on Tuesday. At about 8.30am, police searched a Cooma property along with 10 other properties in Queanbeyan, one in Goulburn and five in the ACT resulting in 23 arrests. A 24th arrest was made in Cooma later in the day. Police had been overtly and covertly investigating the matter for nine-months prior to the arrests. The Acting Commander of the NSW Police Force’s Southern Region, Acting Assistant Commissioner Joe Cassar, said police were committed to getting drugs off the street. “Whether it’s in a capital city, a major regional centre or a small country town, we are committed to arresting drug dealers and getting their illegal and dangerous products off our streets,� Acting Assistant Commissioner Cassar said.

Two local men, Winston Phillips, OAM and Tim Reid, have both revcently received medals honouring their contribution to the local community. Mr Phillips received his Order of Australia Medal from the GovernorGeneral, Mrs Quentin Bryce, AC, at a ceremony at Yarralumla on April 18. Mr Reid received his bravery award form NSW Governor, Marie Bashir,

at Government House Sydney last Wednesday. Mr Phillips OAM was for his contribution to local government over many years, as well as his community service. He said he was humbled by the award and delighted to meet the Governor-General with his family in attendance. Mr Reid’s medal was for bravery for

disarming an armed man in Berridale in August 2012. Former local detective, Detective Sergeant John Robertson last week received the prestigious Australian Police Medal (APM). In 2003, while at Jindabyne, Detective Sergeant Robertson led and operated the Emergency Operations Centre in response to bushfires in the Kosciuszko area that coincided with the Canberra bushfires. Since his arrival in Batemans Bay, he has supervised and mentored junior detectives who have undertaken major criminal and Coronial investigations. This included two “cold cases�, one of which resulted in a conviction. In 2011, Detective Sergeant Robertson was recognised as the longest serving operational detective in NSW.

Inspections give a bird’s eye view of the network Essential Energy will take to the air to patrol close to 1,000 kilometres of powerlines in the Jindabyne region over the next three weeks. Starting next week, a fixed wing aircraft using high-tech equipment will take to the sky, with operators getting a bird’s eye view of the electricity network. Regional general manager, South Eastern, Phillip Green, said the airplane would be used for low level patrols of high voltage powerlines across the region. Operators will use high resolution digital cameras linked to GPS equipment to capture images of poles, powerlines and other equipment, as well as potentially damaging overhanging vegetation. “Using these images and the automatically recorded coordinates, we are able to identify faults or potential problem

areas and return quickly to carry out repairs or maintenance,�Mr Green said. “Aerial inspections are perfect for inspecting overhead powerlines because they are fast and effective and not dependent on ground conditions. We don’t have to gain access to private property and it doesn’t matter if the terrain is difficult.� He said that taking to the sky allowed Essential Energy to pinpoint potential weaknesses, including areas where the network had suffered damage from storms or where vegetation may create an issue. “Once these have been identified, we are then able to send in our crews directly to the site to address the problems.� He said the aerial patrols, combined with Essential Energy’s ongoing inspection program of poles and wires from the

Owners of sensitive animals should advise Essential Energy on 13 20 80 if they require a ‘no fly’ zone, so that arrangements can be made before the aerial inspections begin.

Snowy River Shire to consult community Have you ever wondered where Council funding comes from? Where does all the money go? It can be quite confusing. To help better understand some of the basics regarding Councils funding and expenditure, it has put together the following breakdown: What is Council’s annual budget? $26 million Rates Snowy River Shire Council (SRSC) raises its general revenue from Rates, which equals $5 million annually. Rates account for only 19 percent of SRSC Council’s total income. This is the only income that Council has direct control over which means that SRSC has a greater exposure to fluctuations from other income streams. Grants Council raises general revenue from the Commonwealth Financial Assistance Grant - FAG, $3.775 million. The remainder of income is raised through Externally Restricted Funds, Specific Grants and User Fees & Charges. FAG is the share of federal tax income distributed directly to Local Government through Federal Government for both general purposes and roads. Originally the Fraser Government promised the income distributed to NSW Local Government would be two percent of federal tax income. This was reduced to one percent general taxation revenue by the Hawke Government and unfortunately in 2013 it was decreased to just 0.71 percent. Due to restriction, variability and political whim this is a factor impacting on Council’s ability to provide services to the community. What are restricted funds? Restricted funds are those that are collected for particular services, such as the Water, Sewer and Waste charges or the Emergency Services Levy or grants for specific purposes (eg. Community transport). Grants and externally restricted funds account for 69 percent of cash on hand. Council has no discretion on how these funds are spent ie. they are granted for a purpose such as providing aged care or community transport, and they can only be used for that purpose. Issues facing the SRSC Cost Shifting and Limitations Local government in New South Wales faces numerous issues that hinder long term financial sustainability. Cost shifting from Federal and State Governments to Local Government, an aging infrastructure network and limits on annual increases for rates and regulatory income (Rate Pegging) are some key issues that affect many Councils, including Snowy River Shire. Tourism While tourism within our Shire generates, as a whole, $495 million according to the 2012 Census SRSC does not directly receive any income from this major influx of visitors. Meaning that Councils rate payer base of 5,800 general ratepayers or 3,600 water/sewer ratepayers pay for the provision of the infrastructure and services to facilitate the approximate 1.2 million visitors annually (20,000 at any one time). Infrastructure Renewal Much of Council’s infrastructure was originally provided to the Shire through State & Federal Grants as well as from the Snowy Hydro Electric Scheme. This includes Roads, Swimming Pools, Water, and Sewer. Council is now required to find the required funding to maintain

these assets throughout their lifecycle. Councils infrastructure requires constant maintenance due to age and ensuring they comply with current legislation. Under the economic and political conditions of recent time, grant funding for these purposes has been harder to obtain and more likely to require a greater contribution from Council. Natural Disasters The natural disaster storm damage of 2010 & 2012 impaired our extensive rural road assets by $9.526 million, however only $5.705 million has been allocated through NSW Roads Maritime Service (RMS) to repair this damage. Leaving Council with the mammoth task of finding the remaining $4 million to repair Shire roads. Long Term Financial Plan Council’s draft Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP) is a 10-year plan, reviewed annually, which explains the financial aspects of Councils ability to deliver services to the community. The LTFP enables Council to assess the affordability of community aspirations and allow planning for the future through management of cash reserves and borrowings to smooth out peaks and troughs. The draft plan which is currently on public exhibition shows a negative Net Operating Result before Capital Revenue until 2019. This indicates that in order to be sustainable Council has several options: * increase rates, or * find alternative funding sources to continue just the current service levels, or * reduce current service levels. The balance between community expectation and the need to maintain the Shire’s aging infrastructure is the greatest challenge that faces the Snowy River Shire. Council has an extensive number of high level assets to be maintained and renewed in relation to revenue. Increased asset costs will lead to increased operating expenditure in future years. The LTFP will ensure that Council’s assets are budgeted for the whole life cost of each individual asset. If Council continues to have significant operating deficits we will struggle to maintain and renew assets as required. The IPR process has allowed Council the opportunity to review its service provision. Many difficult decisions will need to be made to ensure the long-term sustainability of the Shire, services and our assets. Council would like the community of the Snowy River Shire to understand the rigorous process Council has pursued in order to identify achievable actions which will deliver the long term community vision in a financially responsible and sustainable manner. Therefore we invite all interested persons to attend the community consultation sessions to discuss these issues, become more aware of Council functions, and inspect the draft suite of Integrated

Planning and Reporting (IPR) documents, of which the Long Term Financial Plan is associated. Come along and be better informed about your community. The community consultation sessions will be held throughout the Shire at the following venues: Jindabyne, Memorial Hall , 5pm to 7pm May 13; Berridale, Council Chambers, 6pm to 7pm May 14 The IPR documents have been placed on public exhibition and can be viewed at Council’s Berridale and Jindabyne receptions, Iona Gardens in Dalgety, SPAR Supermarket in Adaminaby and on Council’s website: www.snowyriver.nsw. gov.au. Council encourages all those who wish to comment, to please forward a written submission titled “Submission Draft IPR Documents 2013�, to the General Manager.

The 63 page paper addresses a variety of proposals and options ranging from sustainability and finance, an infrastructure renewal scheme, productivity and improvement options, better Governance, new structural reforms and implementation of the proposed changes. The Panel will be consulting and holding workshops to discuss this paper and the options over the next three months in a variety of regional towns with Mayors, Councillors and senior staff. Community hearings will also be undertaken to provide the opportunity for local ratepayers to submit their views on the practicality and desirability of the proposals. It is envisaged that the Panel will submit its final report to Government in September 2013. Some key aspects that will be of interest to ratepayers includes the establishment of a network of 20, new look multi-purpose County Councils to undertake regional level functions; the Introduction of Local Boards; encouraging voluntary amalgamations and incentive packages for voluntary council mergers; the establishment of a finance agency to assist councils with interest costs and borrowings and creating a strategic project fund for roads and bridges to help reduce the infrastructure backlog. Given the significant impact these reforms will have on respective communities, I urge all ratepayers to keep up to date through the media on respective developments and respond to the Review Panel’s proposals by making submissions and getting involved at the upcoming community hearings forums. Cooma’s hearing is scheduled for 5 June from 5pm – 7pm. A venue has yet to be confirmed. For full details, visit ‘Have Your Say’ at www.localgovernmentreview.nsw.gov.au.

Thanks to Monaro community the

postman calls

Yet another incident of cruelty in our live cattle exports has come to light, this time in Egypt. It reminds The Postman of stories of the Australian Light Horse in the First World War and why the men shot their horses rather than leave them overseas to be mistreated. While the live export market has been a big earner for Australia over the years, one has to question whether it can continue, given recent cruelty revelations. Most Australian farmers value their livestock and treat them well, but the same can’t be said of other countries. Maybe it’s time Australia sent personnel with the livestock to ensure their wellbeing, right up to the time of slaughter? With the Medicare levy about to increase, electricity and gas to increase, insurance premiums already increased, The Postman has to ask just how much more can be squeezed out of the ordinary Aussie worker? A Disability Insurance Scheme might be a good idea – when it can be afforded. But one suspects most of the money raised will go to pay more bureaucrats and not necessarily reach the people it is supposed to assist. New drought measures announced last week seem to fall wide of the mark. Will we ever get interested, informed people developing plans for the bush, rather than people who never get out of Sydney or Canberra? Cooma police need your help. They need to know who damaged their vehicle while officers were called to a rowdy party on Sunday. They’d also like to know who broke into a vehicle at Nijong Oval on Saturday night. If you can help with their inquiries, please call the station on 6452 0099.

Editor, The ANU Rural Clinical School wishes to thank the Monaro Community and its organisations who contributed their time and expertise recently when 35 ANU Medical Students visited for a week to experience clinical practice in a rural setting.

Some welcomed the students into their homes, others showed the students their workplaces and practices while others contributed in many other ways to make this Rural Week1 one of the best yet. The Community’s support is very much appreciated not only by the organisers, but by the students themselves. Comments from the students were very positive and note the friendly, warm and generous

welcome they received. Thank you to everyone for making the Rural Week Programs so successful. From the feedback we have received, we anticipate that your contributions will have been crucially beneficial in attracting some of these students to the option of rural practice in the years to come. Later this year we once again look forward to welcoming Rural Week 2 students from 12-16 August 2013. Prof Amanda Barnard Dr Rob Wiles Dr Vic Carroll

Despite all the advertising pushing “Lite” food products, I’m going to come clean here and admit that I don’t buy them. I don’t like the taste or the texture and to tell you the truth, I don’t see the point of them anyway but before all the pro-lifers choke on their skinny milk drinks I’ll tell you why. Back in the days before “Lite”, people consumed full cream milk, standard cheeses, cooking oils and all manner of other foods that now come in “Lite” and did not get fat. They used butter, a nice natural product which does not make you fat either, despite what the margarine ads tell you, and used plain old unsophisticated sugar in tea, coffee and on their Weet-Bix. Come to think of it, they also added half a teaspoon of salt when cooking porridge but I’ve noticed the S word doesn’t appear in the cooking directions on the packets now. But anyway, people ate these “non-Lite” foods daily yet still managed to avoid packing on the kilos. School kids drank little bottles of full cream milk every morning before class started and did not balloon as a result and three (only) chubby kids in the whole of my suburban primary school were overweight because they lived on a diet of hot chips bought every afternoon on the way home from school

(the rest of us were so envious), ice cream and lollies, participated as little as possible in gym class and never joined in the rough and tumble of playground fun. Yet here we are today in a world of “Lite” dairy products and sugar substitutes, diet soft drinks, “Lite” snack foods (and oppressive playground guidelines) and a high percentage of the population is not just chubby but seriously overweight! Can anyone see where this doesn’t add up? Full cream milk on the kids’ breakfast cereal or in your cuppa is not going to turn you into fatties but that steady diet of take-away coupled with a couch lifestyle sure will but hey, you already know that. But don’t blame the fast food outlets. You can choose not to buy it and your kids will survive even if they don’t think so at the time. But to get back to it, I’m completely unmoved by “Lite” alternative which haven’t made a shred of difference to the weight of the nation and to be honest, I tend to see them purely as a marketing ploy that has sucked a lot of people in with that “Lite” label and the belief that “Lite” will compensate for all their other dietary/lifestyle boo boos. It won’t and if the bells aren’t ringing yet, please return to the second paragraph and read it again. We really need to lighten up on the labelling here.

Off around Oz... In 33 days four Cooma locals along with 20 other motorbike riders, seven pillion passengers and six support crew and will have covered 15,000 kilometres and hope to have raised $150,000 as a collective group to donate to the Steven Walter Children’s Cancer Foundation (SWCCF). On Tuesday morning last week the Cooma Crew left for Sydney Children’s Hospital for the start of their ride Around Australia with the rest of the group of 36. Brian and Dale Coyte, Kathy Manthey and Tony Roberts from Bombala, are the four Monaro locals taking part in the ride but are also supported along the way by Jack and Diane Nott and Andrew Manthey, who are travelling in two vans provided by Hyundai for this year’s Around Australia Ride (AAR). The ride departed from Sydney Children’s Hospital last Wednesday morning heading up the east coast to circumnavigate Australia and finish back at the Sydney Children’s Hospital 33 days later. This is the second ride of its kind, following an extremely successful Around Australia Ride in 2010, which marked the tenth anniversary of the Snowy Ride. The Steven Walter Children’s Cancer Foundation (SWCCF) originated in 2001 as the Steven Walter Fund and was incorporated in March 2008 as part of a strategic plan to develop a significant long-term fundraising capacity to benefit childhood cancer research in Australia. The origins of SWCCF lay in the wishes of Steven Walter, a young man who died in 2000 at the age of 19 after an 8-year fight

against cancer. In his final days Steven wrote a powerful letter to his family and friends asking them to raise money for childhood cancer research “so that one day no other kid would have to go through what I’ve been through”. This is the second time Tony Roberts has taken part in the ride and he says he hopes to remain a part of this great fundraising event. Dale Coyte will only be completing three quarters of the ride, staying behind to look after South East Printing for a week while Brian completes the first leg of the ride. She is flying to Katherine today, to join her husband Brian Coyte, to begin her ride in the pillion seat. The Cooma Crew has been fundraising for the last eight months and has already donated over $19,000 to the SWCCF. Kathy Mattney says that there has been a huge support from the community for the cause. “We have had some fantastic sponsors from the community. We want to thank The Monaro Committee for Cancer Research (MCCR), Hazeldean, Cooma Sand and Concrete and Service One Credit Union for their significant donations.” The crew also received funds through a wine tasting night, a 1 in 100 raffle (sponsored by the Alpine Hotel and won by Gary Huggett of Jindabyne) and a guided motorcycle ride through Victoria. On Thursday 10 April the Cooma Crew presented to Sue Walter and Allan McGuirk of the Steven Walter Children’s Cancer Foundation (SWCCF) a cheque for the funds raised by the Cooma Crew. “The aim of AAR is to

Your local

raise $150,000 and with efforts of this small group and other participants that goal will easily be achieved. These funds will go directly into research for childhood brain cancers,” said Kathy Manthey. During the ride Around Australia the group will be continuing their fundraising activities.

Police arrest 32 in drugs Operation Delicate Contined from Page 3. “I’d like to commend the excellent policing work of Strike Force Delicate. The determination, diligence and organisation displayed by the officers involved has been first class and the results, to date, have been excellent.� Since Tuesday another eight people have been arrested in Queanbeyan and police are still expecting more arrests over the coming weeks. The arrest count currently stands at 22 arrests in Queanbeyan, four in the ACT, three in Cooma and one in both Goulbourn and on the South Coast. Detective Acting Inspector, Paul Barclay says that after nine months of investigations a drug supply syndicate has been identified and targeted. “Some of the people arrested are known to each other and some aren’t. As time goes by the number of people arrested will increase. “We expect that these arrests will have a positive impact on other crimes in the

area,� Detective Acting Inspector Barclay explained. Member for the Monaro, John Barilaro conveyed his acclamation for the work of the Police Strike Force Delicate in the area. “I commend the efforts of Police Strike Force Delicate and the Monaro Local Area Command on their actions today and their months of preparation in dismantling a number of drug supply chains in Queanbeyan, Goulburn, Cooma and the ACT. The raids and arrests today will significantly disrupt the illicit drug trade in the region. The hard work displayed by the officers involved is commendable.� Detective Acting Superintendent Box said that the operation wouldn’t have been possible without the support of ACT Policing and other NSW Police Force Commands. “Anyone who is involved or has been involved in drug supply in Queanbeyan, be warned – we are onto you,� said Detective, Acting Superintendent Shane Box.

Compliance Craig Zobel's polarising drama re-enacts based on actual events and illuminates a vicious prank that took place repeatedly in a number of US fast-food chain stores. A middle-aged shop manager (Ann Dowd) takes a call from a police officer instructing her to detain a pretty young staff member accused of theft. During the course of a night various others are drawn into the methodical sexual humiliation of the young woman. Dowd gives the film its scarily vagrant heart: she is unnerving and unforgettable as the apologetic but dutiful jailer. You may forget you are watching acting; she is so credible in her wavering subservience to the voice of authority. Starring; Pat Healy, Ann Dowd, Dreama Walker Genre: THRILLER Our say: 00000

Local landholders who have made outstanding contributions to natural resource management in the catchment were honoured at a Landcare dinner hosted by the Upper Snowy Landcare Committee. Chair of South East Landcare, which covers the Southern Rivers region, Adrian Begg, presented four “Champions of the Catchment� awards to people who, through innovation, persistence and a wilingness to assist others that share the similar land management problems, have improved the condition of natural resources in the Upper Snowy Catchment. A Champions award was presented to Phil and Robin Daley for their outstanding work in the control of grassy weeds on their property as well as the work that Phil has done in sharing his techniques at weed field days run by the Berridale Rocky Plain and Snowy River Landcare Group. Not only have the Daleys been able to transform their property from a weed and rabbit haven, they have also been able to develop new techniques to address the emerging African Lovegrass problem on their property. Stuart and Jan Reid of “Murlingbung� received and award for their work in taking the principles of sustainable grazing management developed elsewhere and translating them to the harsh reality of grazing on the Monaro. Not only have the Reids invested in the development of fencing and water infrastructure on their property to support the system of cell grazing on their property but, over the last 20 years, they have persisted, often through trial and error, to develop a system of grazing rotation that is suited to the long cold winters and unpredictable rainfall on the Monaro. Chris and Linda Millington of “Goldfields�, Dalgety have battled against the odds of fluctuating rainfall and heavy insect attack in their endevours to rehabilitate their land along the banks of the Snowy River. As with many people who live along the Snowy, although the Millingtons both work full time, they have made the planting of trees and the management of weeds in their riparian zone (and also on the rest of their property) a priority. With funding from the Snowy Banks program managed by the Southern Rivers Catchment Management Authority, the Millingtons have been able to fence of sections of the River, install off-stream stock watering points and use irrigation systems to water new plantings of trees and shrubs along the river banks. The final award of the night went to the Snowy River Alliance group who have been at the forefront of the campaign for the restoration of environmental flows to the Snowy River since the early 1990’s. Through ongoing hard work, this small group of individuals, which includes people from Dalgety through to Marlo, have convinced politicians of all persuasions of the need for water to be returned to the Snowy River to restore the health of the river. Their persistence has been rewarded with the study completed by the expert panel of scientist into the health of the river and the subsequent legislation of environmental flows for the river. The Champions of the Catchment awards started with an idea by Mr John Carter of Far South East Landcare, who wanted an opportunity for the efforts, perseverance and the inspiration provided by local Landcarers to be recognised by their peers. Often what is important in the management of natural resources at the local catchment level is not as relevant to the criteria used in judging State or National Landcare awards so these awards are born out of the Landcare ethos of “Local people, Local problems�. When introducing the Champions awards, Chair of the Upper Snowy Landcare Committee, Mrs Vicky Bridgewater said “These awards are also recognition of partnerships in Landcare that occur at a number of different levels� “Firstly there is the partnership that occurs at each household and farm level. As everyone

would understand, there is a sharing of the decision making, there is a sharing of the work load and there is the support given to each other in the management of the land. Importantly there is also support for each other in the activities off their own property through contributions to community groups such as Landcare and our awards honour these family partnerships� she said. Mrs Bridgewater described the partnerships the Upper Snowy Landcare groups have with their partners in the management of our natural resources, including the Southern Rivers Catchment Management Authority and the Federal Government Caring for our Country program. “Tonight and on the bus trip tomorrow, we will see outstanding work that has been done by Landcare with our partners in the management of the Monaro grasslands, work to combat the perennial grassy weeds, which are the greatest threat to the sustainable productivity and biodiversity of our grasslands as well as the efforts that are being made to restore the health and vitality of our rivers�, she said. Mrs Bridgewater especially commended the partnership with local government, especially Snowy River Shire Council. Mrs Bridgewater said “The contribution of the Council vegetation management staff to the planning of our weed control programs and their contribution to our field days has been invaluable�. Following the awards dinner on the Friday night, there was a bus tour to the properties of the award recipients. Amongest attendees on the bus tour were Landcare members from the whole of the South East landcare region, which stretches from Wollongong to Eden and up to the Snowy Mountains.

Patty Thomson retires from volunteering after 29 years After being part of the Dalgety Hall Committee for 29 years Patty Thompson ‘Mrs Spick and Span of Dalgety’ has decided to hang up her broom and take off her apron as Secretary of the Dalgety Hall 355 Committee. Snowy River Shire Council would like to acknowledge Pat’s unpaid years of service to the community and the current 355 Committee hope those who have enjoyed the use of the Hall join them in their congratulations and reflect on this enormous feat that is only one year from the “Big THREE O� (30 YEARS ) as a volunteer on this committee. Michelle White has now taken up the responsibility as secretary. She always has the community at heart and has participated on other community committees, P & C, Tennis Club, currently involved with the Coolamatong Club and is the Dalgety School Bus operator. Maybe it is a type of succession planning as Michelle is also the daughter of Megan and Jeffrey Power, who are also part of this “Powerful Team� of the Dalgety Hall group of volunteers, along with Judy Walters and Gloria and Rodney Mugridge. At his last 355 meeting and AGM, outgoing Council

Representative, Councillor Bill Smits commented to Councillor Vickii Wallace, “this committee has always been well recognised by Snowy River Shire Council and the wider community, as hard working and doing a great job�. Cr Smits said “it is very much a hands on group, whether it be cleaning up after a function or oiling the floors themselves�. The Dalgety Hall is not only the hall Patty keeps clean. Patty has also looked after the Dalgety School for 25 years and has kept the Buckley’s Crossing Hotel tidy for along time. Many of the large homesteads have had Patty’s elbow grease to keep them looking their best. Patty is also a member of CWA and Red Cross and keeps herself busy in many other ways within the community. Patty‘s move to bustling Berridale from “River Glen�, Dalgety, would have been initially sad; leaving her lovely riverside homestead and extensive garden beds. But her new garden now overflows with flowers and vegetables with the assistance of her “partner in crime� Keven Burke.

At the recent 2013 Dalgety Show, Patty blitzed it with most successful exhibitor in vegetables, in the flowers; four 1st and two 2nd prizes, in cookery three 2nd prizes and a 1st prize in needlework. Patty and Keven have a common love of music. Patty has revived the musical afternoons in Berridale at the CWA rooms and they are both key members of the monthly musical afternoons at the Cooma Bowling Club, with Keven on his harmonica and Patty by his side. Council’s General Manager, Joe Vescio, would like to take this opportunity to thank Patty for her contribution to the community and note the fantastic example she has set as a community volunteer. There are many ways residents can contribute to their community with volunteering for the local hall committees being one of them.

Tracey loves being able to help the littlies Tracey Walker has recently joined the team at Monaro Early Intervention Service (MEIS) to complete a seven-week placement as an Occupational Therapist. Ms Walker was born and raised in the Monaro region and she loves the area so her placement at MEIS has given her a great opportunity to return to the area where she grew up as well as gain an understanding of the rewards and challenges of working as a health professional in a regional area. “Add to that the opportunity of working with a great team in providing quality services to children and their families and I was more than happy to accept the offer when it came my way,� Ms Walker explained. The service that Ms Walker will be providing is one that most people possibly haven’t heard of. Occupational Therapy uses treatments to develop, recover, or maintain the daily living and work skills of patients with a physical, mental or developmental condition. “I believe that Occupational Therapy helps people to get the most out of their abilities and environments to live meaningful lives. This could involve things like showering, accessing the community, house maintenance, pursuing a hobby, attending work and school, and cooking. You can work right across the lifespan as an OT – from children, to adolescents, to adults, and older adults,� explained Ms Walker. Ms Walker had always felt like she wanted to work in the health field and after a family member had an accident and required Occupational Therapy she watched the process and had the idea of pursuing a career in this area. Ms Walker has already completed an undergraduate

Tracey Walker working with Tobias Corlett and mother, Michelle Vokal. degree and has enrolled in a two-year masters degree through the University of Canberra. The makeup of her course has been three semesters of on-campus learning, with an additional 1000 hours of clinical placement time to meet the requirements of graduating and registration as an Occupational Therapist. She has already completed placements in Canberra, Cooma, Bega and Sydney with all of them providing amazing experiences and helping her to not only develop her skills but also work out where she would like to work after she graduates in less than a few months. Ms Walker’s dream is to work in a regional community based setting so hopefully she likes Cooma’s MEIS enough to stay.

“I am really impressed by MEIS and what it provides to the children and families in the Monaro region. At its core, MEIS aims to provide family centred services that optimise a child’s development, as well as enable them to participate fully at home and in the community. By involving all of the family, and not simply focusing on a particular child, location or issue, MEIS encompasses the goals and ideals of OT – that is, to look at the entirety of a person’s life, and what strategies can be put in place to enhance the lives of each child and their family,â€? explained Ms Walker. “It has certainly been an interesting journey but the sacrifices, time, energy, money and stress have all been worth it‌I’m glad I took the risk of leaving a secure full time job to pursue my dream,â€?

For Pandora, cooking is a form of love. Alas, her husband, Fletcher, now spurns s ured through th hro oug ugh h their the “toxic� dishes that he’d savoured courtship, going on a major kick. When Pandora picks up her older brother Edison at the airport she doesn’t recognize him. In the years since they’ve seen one another, the once slim, hip New York jazz pianist has gained hundreds of pounds. What happened? After Edison has more than overstayed his welcome, Fletcher delivers his wife an ultimatum: It’s him or me. Pandora moves out of her home and into an apartment with her brother. Together, they go on a crash liquid diet and begin a year-long adventure in weight loss. What ensues is the surprisingly gripping story of more than just food, weight loss and weight gain, but mainly a story of familial bonds. It is a thought-provoking (if a bit manipulative) novel. Shriver writes with an authentic realism that places the reader immediately in the story. It is at times exhausting, heartbreaking, hilarious, disgusting and heartwarming. It is an incredibly well-written and completely absorbing read.

and even a tennis racket all donated by local businesses. Second prize will be a Maxwell and William’s cutlery set as well as a gift voucher and third prize will be hair products as well as a gift voucher from a local business. Tickets in the raffle can be purchased from Cooma Fabric Salon and cost only $2. So get yourself a ticket in this raffle to win some amazing prizes for you or your mum and support a local charity.

Helping 20 YOU Prosper DIY is it for you or not? There is no doubt anyone can buy property, you just need to go see a Real Estate Agent or look online, there is 100’s of websites selling property. But is DIY right for you or is it a big mistake? It is crucial you get this question right. Why? Well you’ve first have to ask yourself why am I investing in property. If it is for reasons like I want to buy a property for my kids to live in, than this is for emotional reasons and not investment purposes. If you want to purchase property for investment purposes you need results, you want maximum returns. Maximum Capital Growth, Rental Income, Tax Benefits and little to no maintenance. To achieve this you need to buy a quality built property to avoid maintenance issues that will cost you money. You need to buy new property with quality inclusions to achieve maximum tax benefits. You need to buy at the start of a property cycle to achieve maximum capital growth. To eliminate risk you need to buy in locations where there is strong population growth, infrastructure spending, diversified economy, with a minimum of 5 economic pillars (5 different industries), you need to invest in the best locations with existing infrastructure like shops, schools, transport recreation etc. To attract the high rental income and importantly quality tenants you need to look at the macro and the micro, where I mean the highest quality Master Planned Communities which offer a safe secure location for families and most of the homes in the estate are owned by owner occupied not investors. So to avoid all the traps and mistakes many DIY investors fall into you need to surround yourself with experts as below:t 1SPQFSUZ *OWFTUNFOU &EVDBUPST t 3FTFBSDI 5FBN t 2VBMJUZ #VJMEFS t 1SPKFDU .BOBHFNFOU t -FHBM "EWJTPS t 1SPQFSUZ *OWFTUNFOU 'VOEJOH &YQFSU t *OWFTUNFOU 1SPQFSUZ *OTVSBODF t 'JOBODJBM "EWJTPS JG ZPV XBOU UP CVZ XJUI BO 4.4' t 1SPQFSUZ 5BY FYQFSU t 1SPQFSUZ .BOBHFS ZPV DBO USVTU t 2VBOUJUZ 4VSWFZPS So there is no doubt you can DIY but to be surrounded with all these people who do have a proven track record and the experience along with results for 100’s of Investors Australia wide you can simply contact me for a chat and I can assure you, you will save money and time and avoid the critical mistakes.

Snowy River Real Estate: helping young families take their first steps in buying property

A significant number of young families are taking full advantage of all that the Snowy River Shire has to offer, deciding to make the region their home. It seems though, before education, medical and lifestyle services, first and foremost on the list of the area’s benefits to young families, is affordable housing prices. Patrick Sacco, Director of Snowy River Real Estate has witnessed the influx of families first-hand having sold a large number of both low and medium cost houses in the recent months. “Affordable houses are attracting young buyers; it’s especially good to see because now, economically speaking is an excellent time to buy property,” says Patrick. As a real estate agent, Patrick understands the importance of helping first-time/young buyers overcome both the usual and unusual hurdles of buying a property. “Buying property can actually be a lot of fun, it doesn’t have to be stressful” Patrick says “I like to stay abreast of each sale to make sure the process runs smoothly. If I can ensure a new purchaser has a positive first experience they will be more confident when buying property in the future”.

Current LHPA functions should continue in new organisation

The Chair of Livestock Health and Pest Authorities (LHPA) State Management Council has advocated that all current functions and services of the LHPA should continue under the new Local Land Services (LLS) organisation which commences on 1 January 2014. Mr Ian Donges is responding to recommendations made by the LLS Reference Panel to the Minister for Primary Industries Katrina Hodgkinson on Friday. “Results from a survey conducted by independent member of the Reference Panel Mick Keogh confirmed strong support for all of the services provided by the LHPA. If NSW farmers and landholders are to continue to receive all of the important services we currently provide, these services need to be carried over to the new organisation. “To facilitate this all LHPA operational staff, including our vets and rangers, must be brought into LLS. While appropriate staffing levels and skills in each region will be determined by the regional LLS boards once they are appointed, it’s clear that our current staff need to play a key role in ensuring the aims of the new organisation are met”. Mr Donges is a member of the Reference Panel appointed to oversee the transition process of LHPAs, Catchment

Management Authorities (CMAs) and Department of Primary Industries (DPI) extension services to Local Land Services on January 1. On Friday the Panel made its recommendations to the Minister on the issues of governance, boundaries and functions and services for the new organisation following a period of statewide community consultation. “The LHPA developed their position and policy around these issues prior to the 22 April Reference Panel meeting where details were discussed and finalised prior to making recommendations to the Minister. Mr Donges was disappointed that a unanimous decision was not reached by the Reference Panel on any of the proposed boundary changes, meaning the Minister will make the final decision on this contentious issue. “I’m concerned that the provision of local services will not be well served by ten large regions focused on catchment boundaries instead of our preferred option of 11 regions which focus on land use and localism,” he said. “For instance, some of the proposed regions include ratepayers on the Tablelands

through to the Western division, all in the same region”. The LHPA provided independent legal advice regarding the proposed governance arrangements of LLS and will be seeking further legal advice in conjunction with DPI and CMAs. “In our view, the governance model of Local Land Services will broadly reflect the LHPA’s current structure of having an overarching Board which is responsible for state-wide coordination and compliance, with autonomous regional boards which will make local decisions around local needs. “Our independent legal advice will be used constructively to ensure the final governance model will meet LLS objectives and service rural NSW successfully – we have to get this right,” said Mr Donges. The LHPA supports the government’s

decision to have the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) make recommendations around the future rating model of LLS. “The interim arrangement to continue the current LHPA rating system for two more years is appropriate, but our preference is the same as that of the Reference Panel - to expand the rating base down to landholders with two hectares or more from the current ten hectares. All landholders pose a risk to the biosecurity of NSW and should bear some of this cost,” said Mr Donges. The Reference Panel’s recommendations are available at the Local Land Services Have Your Say website at www.engage. haveyoursay.nsw.gov.au/locallandservices.

Fox baiting advice

Angus Breeders sale a success The Monaro Angus Breeders Association in conjunction with the Cooma Associated Agents conducted the breeders’ sale at the Cooma sale yards on Thursday May 2. After a three-year absence from selling at the sale yards, the sale was deemed a huge success given the current dry conditions across most states at present. There were 400 quality bred Angus females on offer with a good crowd on the day competing on the line up. Buyers came from the South Coast, Goulburn, Braidwood, Bombala and locally. Some of the quotations were as follows; JD & CA Braddock (MLP) 16x16 2.5 yr heifers with calves at foot $1130 T & P Fletcher (ELD) $860, 10 2.5 yrs PTIC heifers Brookfield Park (ELD), 12x 2.5 yrs PTIC heifers, $760; 10x3/3.5 yrs PTIC cows, $760 Murdoch Bibbenluke, (MLP) 15x3.5/4.5 PTIC cows, $740

Sally Flat P’Ship (ELD) 25x 6.5 yrs PTIC cows, $1100 MJ & J Pendergast (ELD) 22x 6.5yrs PTIC cows, $1050 MA & MA Platts (LMK), 41x6.5yrs PTIC cows, $900 to $950, Timmins & Lucas (MLP) 17x7.5 yrs PTIC cow, $650 N & J Chesham (MLP)14x7.5 yrs PTIC cows, $760 Loplexa P/L (ELD) 6x7.5 yrs PTIC cows, $620 N & J Chesham (MLP) 24 1.5 yrs PTIC heifers, $500 to $570 AM & MG Goodwin (MLP) 14x 1.5 yrs heifers NSM, $640 MJ & J Pendergast (LMK) 18x 1yr heifers, $455 M.

Fox baiting season is again upon us and the Livestock Health and Pest Authorities (LHPA) wants to remind people that strategic group baiting is the most effective control option. Foxes cause significant damage to our livestock industry every year, so it’s important that control measures such as baiting are undertaken and that all landholders take responsibility and get involved. “The most successful fox baiting programs are those that are undertaken on a group basis so that a coordinated approach can be taken,� said LHPA Senior Ranger Mark McGaw. The LHPA runs various group fox baiting programs throughout the state in many locations. “Another thing the LHPA does is run training courses in 1080/ Pindone, as fox baits can only be issued to people who are accredited. “The courses are short and inexpensive and those who attend remain accredited for five years following the course�. While group baiting is the

preferred strategy for successful fox control, Mr McGaw also has advice for people who undertake baiting on their property on an individual basis. “One of the most important things to remember for all baiting programs is that it is a legal requirement to inform anyone whose boundary falls within one kilometre of the baiting location three days prior to putting out baits,� he said. “You should also order the baits from your local LHPA office at least three to four days before you want to pick them up�. He said using less baits more often is a principle that people should adopt when baiting for foxes. “Our rangers are available to provide information and advice on all aspects of fox baiting, including group baiting programs which may be operating in your area and details of upcoming 1080/ Pindone training courses. “If you have a problem with foxes please contact your local LHPA office,� said Mr McGaw.

Cooma Squash report selected on the same team until the last minute. Tony played quite well – as he had done in the last comp. – but Larry got some of his great shots in and won in three for Cooma Trophy and Gifts.

The first round of the autumn comp was held on Thursday and there were some very good matches played. There had been some changes in gradings with a couple of unknowns so it should prove to be a very interesting comp. For Kleven Spain their no. 3 Lyn Elton – who drives from Bibbenluke to play – took on Jason Harris. Jason can play some good squash at times and took the first two games but lost momentum and went down to Lyn in five. Likewise Darrell Gaukroger, no. 2 for the same team, lost the first game to Jacqui Schofield (Hillross) but bounced back and took the next three. Two of the up and coming no. 2 players Matt Shirvington (Monaro Discount Truck Stop v. Kleven Spain Tyres) played Steve Johnson (Truckstop). It was a long and hard fought match with Matt losing the first two but winning the next three to come out the winner. They are both players to be watched for the comp. For the same teams Matthew Nader played Pat Egan (no. 3’s). They also flogged each other mercilessly for five hard games with the final game going to Pat 10-9. You cannot get much closer than that. Well done fellas. Larry Maat took on Tony Potter. Originally they had both been

Once caught, he off-loaded to an ever ready captain Tommy Russell, who darted away and scored his first ever try in football. The Buffaloes quickly responded with catching our defence napping to run away to score a couple of quick tries making the score very close. Jack McPherson went for a bullocking run to cross for a fine try, after some good lead up work from Clayton Clark and Jayden McCole.

Disappointing loss to Stallions Firsts The Stallions travelled to Tathra to take on the sea Eagles on their home turf last Sunday. Tathra were coming off a good win over Eden the previous week so a tough game was assured. Another slow start for the boys saw them behind 4 nil after only 10 minutes. They did not see a lot of ball in this time and the scoreboard reflected this. The next 25 minutes saw the Stallions at their best with tries to Todd Williams, Adam Walters and Tom Holmes take them to a 18 -4 lead with half time fast approaching. Unfortunately the next 15 minutes turned the game as Tathra were able to cross for three quick tries taking them to the lead 26- 18. Todd Williams was having a wow of a game and got the Stallion back into the match with an individual try to take them within two points of Tathra. The Stallions looked to getting back on top and were peppering the Tathra line but a promising attacking raid was thwarted by an intercept and a 90 meter try to Tathra. This is how the game finished with Tathra taking a well deserved victory 30 -24. The players gave away too many penalties especially back to back ones and let Tathra off the hook too many times. They must realise they have to win games with their skills and not get sucked into slanging matches; their ill discipline was their downfall this week. The coach will work on these things with must win game coming up this week against last year’s premiers Narooma at home. Best for the Stallions this week was 3 points Todd Williams 2 Points Corey Thomas and the 1 point was shared between Torin Findlow and Adam Walters

Reserve grade 22-14 winners Cooma reserve grade travelled to Tathra on Sunday to play the always strong at home Eagles. Cooma went into the game full of confidence after their win the week before, but true to form, after the kick off Tathra showed that winning was going to be no easy feat. Cooma’s defence led by the dominant Jason Millican, was able to withstand four sets on their try line. But on the fifth, Tathra showed their skill by spreading the ball and scoring out wide. Cooma, with hardly any possession in the first half, did very well in defence to go to the break 8 - 0 down. After uplifting words from captain/ coach Paul Lloyd at half time, Cooma returned to the field with their heads held high. After a quick try conceded by Cooma early in the second half, Cooma showed gutsy attack by Scott Lloyd and Keith Robinson putting Cooma in the perfect position with only 15 minutes remaining to fight back and grab the win. With an end result of 22 - 14 Cooma had found what they needed to finish on a high. Better late than never is the perfect way to describe the win for Cooma. All players have to be commended for their effort on the day and with hard training and extensive effort, Cooma can,

and will, be a force to be reckoned with this 2013 season. Players player went to Jason Millican, three points Scott Lloyd, two points Keith Robinson, one point Jason Millican. Also a big thanks to Joel Smith, Kalhum Jones, Dean Bryne and Jack Downey for showing great club support and stepping up from the under 18’s and giving their all for the team.

The Aussie Hotel Cooma Cats have stumbled in their quest to consolidate their position in the top half of the AFL Canberra Division Three competition after a dissapointing loss to Ainslie on Saturday. The final score was Cooma 7-10-52 defeated by Ainslie 11-13-79. The loss leaves the Cats with three wins from five games and sitting in the middle of the 13 team competition. Cats’ coach Damien Asanovski was philosophical regarding his team’s performance which blunted a promising start to the season. “It would be easy to be upset with a loss in a game we probably should have won, but I am full of praise for the boys for their efforts on Saturday considering we lost our two key defenders before half time to injuries and Ainslie are a side on the improve,” Damien said. Cats full back Jimmy Russell suffered a game ending shoulder injury while new recruit King left the field with a suspected concussion after a head clash late in the second quarter. Both are likely to miss a couple of weeks and leave a big whole in the Cats’ defence. The scores were level at half time with both sides having kicked 5-7-37. But Ainslie were able to capitalise on the Cats’ weakened defence in the second half, despite the untiring efforts of the remaining

After four weeks away, the Cats retrurn to Snowy Oval this coming Saturday for a must win game against Murrumbidgee. First bounce is at 1pm. Meanwhile, the Snowy Supercats Under 14 side travelled to Canberra on Saturday for their first game of the season against St Edmunds. Desperately short of players, the St Edmunds side provided six top up players for the Supercats to ensure both sides could have a full game of football. The St Edmunds side won the game easily, and are to be congratulated for their sportsmanlike approach to the game. Supercats manager Dave Innes was full of praise for the Cooma players who never gave up and played well under trying conditions. Dave also praised the loyal parents and supporters travelled to Canberra with the Supercats to ensure the kids could get a game of footy.

Plenty of bowls action at Cooma

U12 Red Devils 15-12 win Red Devils U12 played against Yass at home. Tight defence early placed a lot of pressure on Yass giving the Devils a clean break up the right side.

From the ruck, the ball was swung out left to give Keegan Caldwell a try in the left corner. Conversion was missed and score stood at 5 – 0 to Cooma. Not long after, there was a good break by a Yass speedster who put Yass in a good position to score out wide. Conversion missed, score 5 all. After half time, the boys came back only for Yass to intercept, score and successfully convert, placing the score 5 – 12 to Yass. Cooma then rallied with the forward picking and

driving Cooma down the field. This attack forced a penalty for young Archie Allen to crash over and score. A missed conversion saw the scoreboard 10 – 12 to Yass. From the kick off Cooma pushed down field again forcing another penalty out of Yass right in front of the try line. From the tap, Archie Allen crashed over again to put Cooma in front 15 – 12. With only a few minutes left in the match, Cooma’s Devil’s defence held strong to deny Yass any more scoring opportunities to give the boys a much deserved victory. Points awarded to: 3 – Damon Fanning, 2 – Archie Allen and 1- Rhys Sopniewski. Capital Dial-a-Pizza

Lots of Club and District Bowls action at Cooma on Saturday with singles and pairs matches contested. In a second round match of Minor Singles, Tom Reed was slow to get going against Don Jarvis to allow Don to set up a 14 to five lead which proved to be Don’s downfall as he was on that score for eight ends which allowed Tom to catch up and eventually lead and go on to win 31 to 17. In District Champion of Club Champions, Chris Demczuk shot out to lead Graham Clarke 17 to one after just ten ends and it was shut the gate the horse has bolted except that no one told Graham, who matched Chris over the concluding ends but had given too much lead, with Chris prevailing 31 to 15. In the afternoon Wayne Lodge faced up to Chris Demczuk in the final with Chris getting an early advantage when he lead six to zero. Wayne then put shots on the board to level at 11 to 11 on end 13.

Wests 25/Jindabyne 20 Wests 20/Jindabyne 15 Jindabyne 19/Broulee 12 Jindabyne 63/Wests 7

Under 10’s Jindabyne put on a perfect autumn day for the first game of the season against Wests. The U 10’s started of with a mighty kick and impressive, duck and diving try from Griffin ........He went on to score 2 more tries and Jake helped out to bring their score to 20. Training paid off for the Piglets as they all worked hard on team work and their defensive game. “Man of the match”, Jackson Bucknell had a great game making lots of tackles and long run with the ball. Wests came back in the second half and won 25 - 20.

Under 11s ‘The under 11 Piglets v’s West Ma 4y. We had a good game. Wests won by one try the score was 15 - 20.. Darcy Alexander scored two tries & Ben Taylor scored one.’ Well Done great effort. Under 15s A convincing win to under 15’s Jindabyne v Wests. The under 15’s travelled to Canberra to play their first competition match against Wests. From the whistle the boys put together some well-structured rucking and mauling which opened the defence allowing a constant flow of tries until the final whistle. Every player rose to the occasion and were involved in the eleven tries scored by the Bushpigs. Final score 63-7 with Drew Turner voted players player. Well done boys and here’s to a successful season.

The Jindabyne Miss Piggies travelled to Queanbeyan on Saturday to play in a Rugby 7s round robin tournament involving five teams. The girl’s first game was against Uni Norths and from the opening whistle they showed that they were determined to give a good display of running rugby. After some early sustained pressure, the Miss Piggies put on three quick tries. The first going to Nicole “Nikkers” Raine, from an excellent pick and drive and in the process took out the referee in the same movement!This was quickly followed by Erin “Ez” Caldwell and Jessie “ Bruiser” Cullen. The second half was a more even affair with Kate “Brownie” Brown crossing the line after running the entire length of the field. The final score was 4 tries to 1. The Miss Piggies second game was against ADFA and the entire team showed great skills in supporting each other and backing each other up. The first half saw Brownie score off the kick off after re-gathering a fortunate bounce of the ball, followed by a double by Kim “Whippet” Ashby, one being a fantastic run around move with Kate “Youngen” Atkinson. Tries also to Kate “Whacka” Waterhouse and another by Nickers, both coming off great support play, to barge their way over the line. The second half saw two more tries, one each to Brownie and Ez for a final score of 7 tries to nil. The final saw the Miss Piggies

take on hosts Queanbeyan, who also won both their previous games convincingly. A great start to the game saw the Jindabyne team apply lots of pressure, resulting in two quick tries to Whacka and Whippet. Queanbeyan answered back with one of their own, from ex Miss Piggies player, Tayla Stanford crossing to make the half time score 2-1. The second half again saw great pressure applied by the Jindy girls; however, after a few injuries the Queanbeyan team piled on a few tries and at the final whistle saw them come out on top of the Jindabyne side five tries to two. The Coaches 3 points went to Nikkers, 2 points went to Ez and 1 point to Brownie. The player’s player award was shared between Ez and Claire “Donks” Mcdonnell The Miss Piggies team continued to show great improvement in their overall skills and coach Paul Livissianos said he was very pleased with the girl’s support play and in particular the enthusiasm of the whole team. “It’s exciting to see the new girls to the team having a real go! To see Peta Cox, making a 25m burst down the sideline or Jessie Cullen making a crunching tackle over the sideline or dark horse Alannah Dickeson being in support, really inspires the whole team.” The Miss Piggies next game will be at home on May 18.
