Sharon is ready to take the reins As the opening day for the Cooma Hospital Renal Dialysis Unit approaches, Sharon Bennett, the Nurse Unit’s Manager, is looking forward to the challenge ahead.

After moving to Jindabyne in 2006 to try her hand at working in the ski fields, Sharon and her family decided to stay for good, and she found herself looking for a job in the area.

With a background of intensive care nursing, management and project management, an opening at the Cooma Hospital was too good of an opportunity to pass up and finally lead to Sharon’s appointment as the Renal Unit Manager.

“I am absolutely looking forward to getting into it,” Sharon said.

“It is going to make such a significant difference in the lives of the local people suffering from kidney diseases,” she said.

For three days of the week Sharon has been travelling to the Queanbeyan Renal

Dialysis Unit, where four local patients receive dialysis treatment regularly.

“The travelling has taken it’s toll on me, so I can only imagine how much it must affect those patients who are not only going such a distance for treatment, but also have a chronic illness on top of that,” she Sharon Bennett shows off the progress on the Renal Unit. said.

Member asks ‘When will Whan resign?’

The Member for Monaro John Barilaro believes it is high time endorsed Labor candidate Steve Whan honoured his undertaking to NSW taxpayers and resigned from his current position in the Legislative Council.

Mr Barilaro said Mr Whan has given a commitment to the voters of Monaro that he would relinquish his Upper House post to contest the Lower House seat.

“I have to basically resign from the Upper House and I run for the Lower House, if I’m elected then obviously I’ll be sworn in there, if I’m not then I’m unemployed.” Mr Whan told ABC South East radio June 13 2014.

“Mr Whan needs to provide an explanation for his failure to act on this important promise given that he is already in full time campaign mode,” said Mr Barilaro.

“Mr Whan has taken to issuing media

releases on a candidate letterhead during business hours and has also shifted the focus of his website, calling for donations and volunteers.

“He ought to stop using parliamentary entitlements for this purpose. He is clearly accepting his tax payer salary to campaign and should resign from the Legislative Council immediately.

“Mr Whan should be reminded that the tax payer is not paying him to be a Labor party candidate.”

Mr Barilaro believes there is a strong likelihood that Mr Whan will not resign in order to cash in on his taxpayer funded allowances and may look to remain in the Upper House beyond March 2015, if his latest tilt at Monaro is unsuccessful.

“Steve Whan is a former staffer who has never held down a real job outside of politics,” said Mr Barilaro. This is a bloke who has been a perennial political

candidate who in the past has run unsuccessfully for the ACT Assembly, Federal and State Parliaments.

“He was handed a secure position by his Labor mates in Sydney following his rejection by Monaro voters in 2011 and seems to have taken this latest job opportunity for granted.

“If Steve Whan was seriously committed to representing the Monaro electorate, he would take steps to immediately resign from the upper house at the commencement of the new financial year.

“Steve Whan cannot continue to fool the Monaro electorate by telling them he will resign another day. It’s time for him to nail his colours to the mast, not sponge off the public purse”, Mr Barilaro said.

Help for small businesses on Monaro

New guidelines require quotes for services The Parliamentary Secretary for Small Business and Regional Development, John Barilaro, has welcomed new guidelines designed to give small-tomedium enterprises (SMEs) better opportunities to participate in tenders for work with the NSW Government.

As of this week, it is now easier for SMEs to bid for business with the State government with changes to the Government’s prequalification scheme.

Mr Barilaro said agencies will now be required to seek at least one quote from a small-tomedium enterprise for contracts worth up to $1 million. “Small businesses are key to the NSW economy and this government is dedicated to putting measures in place to ensure a vibrant and sustainable small business sector across the state,� Mr Barilaro said. “These changes mean that small businesses in the Monaro can compete for in excess

of a billion dollars’ worth of government work each year.�

Minister for Finance and Services, Dominic Perrottet said recent procurement reforms had also provided more opportunities for small-to-medium businesses in rural and regional areas to gain. “Under NSW Procurement’s SME policy, government agencies located in non-metropolitan areas can purchase goods and services up to $5000 (including GST) directly from local suppliers, w i t h o u t having to go

through whole-of-government contracts,� Mr Perrottet said. “Not only does this help make it simpler and quicker for agencies to procure goods and services, but it also means that they are able to support local businesses in the communities they reside.�

President of the Cooma Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc, Kathy Kelly said of the initiative “We welcome the measures announced. Far too often small and medium business are not given opportunities with government work. “This new commitment will attract more small and medium businesses to compete for this work.

The Government policy also appears to be a clear direction that SMEs are

to be valued and considered in the process. “This will only work if the results show smaller businesses are awarded more tenders. “We also welcome the cuts to red tape that will allow local agencies to make local purchases without going through long winded processes�.

Since 2011 the NSW Government has introduced a number of changes to make it easier for businesses in regional NSW to gain work with the Government, Mr Barilaro said. “The NSW Government is getting on with

the job of removing regulatory and red tape burden, ensuring small businesses are paid on time, providing timely advice and assistance so that small business can thrive and making NSW number one again,� he said. “Small businesses are the backbone of a sound and steady economy, and it is essential that governments do all they can to assist and support local enterprise.�

Council is very pleased that the Shire and Town Entry Signage Project has commenced with construction of the first sign to be placed at Berridale.

We have received much positive feedback about the signs as they will not only raise the visual impact for visitors entering Snowy River Shire, it will also acknowledge each township and this will benefit businesses and the community.

Snow Paws is the children’s own bookstore. Come in and see the wonderful variety of books and educational toys Snow Paws has to offer.

A child who reads will be an adult who thinks.

Five signs will be constructed and material from the old signs has been recycled and reused on the new signage infrastructure to build the jigs and artwork.

Recycling the existing infrastructure has achieved cost savings for the project including reducing the impact on our environment.

Local contractors will begin installation of the sign body for Berridale in mid July and the rock footing is being fitted by local Stone Masons soon after.

The other three town signs will be located in Adaminaby, Dalgety, Jindabyne and a Shire entry sign at the Cooma boundary.

The issue of replacing aging shire entrance signs as well as the town entry signs has been discussed by Council for a number of years and it has been recognised in Council's Operational Plan since 2009. Economic development and tourism is something that our community has identified as a priority and we all rely heavily on these two areas for our future economic growth of the Shire.

The above mentioned project will both visually enhance and achieve positive outcomes for our many visitors who travel to our shire.

Work is also due to commence to the entry at Jindabyne township in early July.

This work is funded by the Jindabyne Beautification Project and includes installation of solar lighting to the avenue of trees located on each side of the retaining wall which will also provide a visually stunning entry at night when entering Jindabyne.

Puppet workshop fun Twenty-seven children enjoying their school holiday break took on the task of creating their very own puppets at the Cooma Library on Thursday July 3.

The event was organised by the Library and master puppeteer Chris Gaskin, who provided the children with special puppet kits and a range of crafting items to help them create their own masterpieces.

At the cost of only $10 per session, this school holiday program allows the kids to have a takehome item that is made completely by them and will deliver hours upon hours of fun.

The event wrapped up with a spectacular puppet show with many enthusiastic cheers and jaunts from the excited crowd of children.

BUGS praises local member’s stance Local State Member for Monaro John Barilaro has won praise from the Snowy Mountains Bush Users Group (SMBUG) President Peter Cochran for defending the Snowy Mountains Brumby from aerial culling.

“In 2001 the ALP Carr Government was responsible for the slaughter of over 600 Brumbies in Guy Fawkes National Park using helicopters and automatic gunfire. The result was international outrage and a claim by the Minister Bob Debus that aerial culling would not happen again, despite the fact that he was the Minister responsible for the Department which carried out the atrocity” Mr Cochran said.

“In reviewing the current wild horse management plan the NPWS and past Minister for the Environment Robyn Parker stated that all means of culling including aerial culling, was ‘on the table’. It is a great relief for those who campaign to preserve the

Brumby, that John Barilaro has had the political courage to make a definitive statement opposing the barbaric method of aerial culling.”

Mr Cochran continued, “There is widespread support for the Coalition Government to establish a ‘sustainable number’ of Brumbies to protect what has become a major tourist attraction in the Snowy Mountains and a part of our cultural heritage cherished by all ages but particularly children who have read either “The Silver Brumby” or the current series of Brumby stories by author Paula Boer.

“The SMBUG will continue to campaign to protect the Snowy Mountains Brumby and calls on other State and Federal Members of Parliament to demonstrate the same courage as John Barilaro and publicly state opposition to a practice which has been demonstrated to be cruel and barbaric”, Mr Cochran concluded.

New entry signage for Snowy River Shire Snowy River Shire Council is very pleased to advise that the Shire and Town Entry Signage Project has commenced and will be rolled out in accordance with our five year replacement program.

The first phase of the project will see the installation of five signs throughout the Shire, starting with the removal of the Berridale Town entry sign on the Cooma side.

The new signage design incorporates existing infrastructure from the old signs which is being used by a local contractor to build the jigs and artwork.

“Council was so pleased that our new signage designs enabled the existing infrastructure to be reused and recycled.

This is keeping in line with our Community Strategic Plan objective “Sustaining our environment for life”, general manager Jose Vescio said.

“Not only have we reduced our impact on the environment, we have also managed to reduce the overall cost of the project by

engaging the services of talented local contractors”.

Construction of the first sign is planned for Berridale. Installation of the sign body is due in mid July and the rock footing is being fitted by local Stone Masons soon after.

The other four town signs will be located in Adaminaby, Dalgety and Jindabyne, including a Shire entry sign at Cooma boundary. The remaining signs will be installed fortnightly following completion of each individual installation.

The next phase of Council’s branding project includes Shire banners that will be located through each of our towns. This project is still at the planning stage and will involve input from each of the towns Chambers of Commerce and Tourism Snowy Mountains.

Mr Vescio said, “Economic development and tourism is something that our community has identified as a priority for our Shire. This is just one way that Council can support the community in achieving this priority”.

BOMBALA COUNCIL GENERAL MANAGER: Ms Ngaire McCrindle Despite the cold, windy weather we are still getting good results from our tourism activities.

The Caravan Parks have been going extremely well, businesses are happy with visitor numbers, work is progressing well on the enhancements to the Railway Precinct (thanks to the hard work of the Friends of the Railway), our major signage project is nearing finalisation and work is continuing on two regional programs.

Our Economic Development Manager is a founding member of the Steering Committee for Australia’s Coastal Wilderness one of only 16 National Landscapes chosen by Tourism Australia for promotion to the overseas market. The Steering Committee is finalising a suite of hard copy promotional brochures that will guide visitors through the landscape. History and Heritage, National Parks and stunning walks will feature in the publications alongside opportunities for visitors to get involved with conservation projects and immerse themselves in community activities.

In addition the Bundian Way Project has been given a fantastic boost with the announcement of the $600,000 plus grant to Eden Local Aboriginal Land Council from Clubs NSW. This grant will allow for the full development of the walk around Snug Cove, including viewing platforms and interpretive signage and tie in with the infrastructure works being undertaken at Jigamy Farm.

Council regards the Bundian Way Project as the number one driver for tourism development in the region. The project works on so many levels- it offers a wide range of opportunities for Indigenous employment and training, education for the broad community, supports community development, offers numerous opportunities for investment, social enterprise start ups, sharing of history and ideas. In short it is an inspirational project that will bring benefits right across the region and we are very pleased to be involved with the roll out and delivery.

Council has approved funding for a new family cabin for the Bombala Caravan Park. The cabin will be installed prior to November which is shaping up to be a very busy month in Bombala.

The Bombala Historic Engine and Machinery Society hold their Rally on 7, 8 and 9 November followed by the Bike Show on the 15h and Christmas Carols on the 22nd. Plans are also well advanced for improvements at the Caravan Park at Delegate and upgrades to signage at the Early Settlers Hut, Delegate School of Arts, the Bundian Way Gallery and the Borderline Gallery.

We have also commenced a year long survey of platypus numbers in the Bombala , Delegate and Coolumbooka Rivers so if you are down in the area and want to join in, please call at the Visitor Information Centre for survey forms which are very easy and quick to fill in.

A Perisher season pass, an action-packed Thredbo holiday, an oversnow joyride around the mountains and the latest home and business software are among the prizes up for grabs in Jindabyne Central School’s (JCS) P&C raffle.

The JCS P&C has been overwhelmed by the generosity of local, and multinational, businesses who have donated almost $7,000 worth of prizes.

Tickets will go on sale this week so be prepared to see JCS students and families around Jindabyne and the ski resorts selling the raffle tickets to locals and visitors alike.

The raffle tickets are $5 each and will be on sale outside Woolworths Jindabyne every Friday and Saturday between 4-6pm until September.

Tickets are also available at Little Outlaws and the Thredbo office at Nugget’s Crossing and 2627 Hairdressing in the Jindabyne Town Centre.

“We’re hoping to raise $25,000 from the sale of raffle tickets to go towards buying new resources for JCS,” raffle organiser Yolanda, Ella, Jessica, Zoe, Zana and Aidan are ready to start selling JCS P&C raffle tickets.

JCS teachers go back to school Teachers at Jindabyne Central School (JCS) have been back to school to learn new techniques to improve the quality of their teaching in an effort to boost student learning.

JCS Assistant Principals Karen Mugridge and Heidi Shvetsoff have led their team of teachers on a “lesson study” – a model of professional development designed to assist teachers to produce quality lesson plans and gain a deeper understanding of student learning.

Teachers took it in turns to deliver a lesson to a class while their colleagues observed.

Together they worked on a systematic cycle of planning, teaching, observing, refining and reviewing that specific lesson to ensure students gained a higher learning outcome.

The outcomes of the lesson study will be shared with other teachers cross JCS heading into term three.

“Teachers involved in this first-time trial reported that it was extremely beneficial in the way it facilitated professional dialogue

JCS Stage One teachers involved in the lesson study – (L-R) Megan Hopping, Karen Mugridge, Bianca Watman, Elecia Sandall and Kim Kavanagh.

COOMA-MONARO SHIRE COUNCIL WEEKLY NEWS AND COMMUNITY INFORMATION

9th July, 2014

building a better community

COUNCIL communiqué COUNCIL MEETING 14 JULY, COUNCIL CHAMBERS @ 4.30PM Council will be holding its ordinary council meeting Monday 14 July 2014, commencing with Public Forum where residents are welcome to address Council on any matter at 4.30pm.

PUBLIC NOTICE PROPOSED ORGANIC KERBSIDE COLLECTION CHARGE

Business Papers are available to the public on Council’s website www.cooma.nsw.gov.au the Friday of the week preceding the meeting.

PUBLIC NOTICE WATERMAIN REPLACEMENT WORK AND TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURE OF CULEY AVENUE, COOMA Please be advised that weather permitting, water main reconstruction work has been programmed to commence in Culey Avenue between Church Road and Moseley Avenue.

This essential work will commence from 19 May 2014 and is expected to be completed within six (6) weeks.

Works will be carried out between 8:30am and 4:00pm Monday to Friday and will involve partial and full closure of the roadway at certain times.

Any road closures, when required, are to ensure the safety of staff and the general public whilst this type of work is undertaken. Notification will be given in advance of any planned road closure to allow residents to plan vehicle access alternatives.

Individual property water services from the new watermain to the water meter locations will also be reconstructed and will require Council staff and

contractors to have access onto private property at times to complete this work.

Residents are advised that any road pavement, driveways and paths affected by the reconstruction work will be repaired/replaced as part of the project works.

As the work progresses, and should any unforeseen problems arise affecting you relating to this work, please do not hesitate to speak with any member of council’s on-site work crew who will be able to assist.

Council apologises for any inconvenience this work may cause and asks residents and motorists to be mindful of construction crews and machinery that will be working on and around this project.

Any enquiries can be directed to Councils Engineering Services on 6455 1801.

HELP KEEP OUR AIR CLEAN WOOD SMOKE REDUCTION PROGRAM Better use of wood heaters can help with improving the air quality in our Shire.

Use dry fuel and seasoned timber, adjust the air damper to allow air flow to maintain burn, and ensure the fire burns bright to reduce smoke emissions.

If the air flow is reduced and the fire is allowed to smoulder – more smoke is made and you will find that not all the fuel will burn thoroughly.

After you stoke your fire, allow it to burn brightly for at least 20 mins to reduce smoke emissions.

Tips when purchasing or gathering wood:

with ‘Mrs Potts Fabulous Morning Tea’ to raise money for the Cancer Council. The day raised $416.60 and a good time was had by all.

Many thanks to all who organised, contributed and participated.

• ensure that it is dry and well-seasoned • when two pieces are struck together dry wood will give a “clack”, unseasoned will give a dull “clunk”.

Never use treated copper chrome-arsenate wood – this will release poisonous fumes, and never burn garbage, painted timber or particle board – these release pollutants.

02 6455 1777.

Expressions of interest, in accordance with specifications supplied, should be received by Council before the closing date and addressed to: The General Manager, Cooma-Monaro Shire Council, 81 Commissioner Street, (PO Box 714), COOMA NSW 2630 or by email at council@cooma.nsw.gov.au.

At Council’s ordinary meeting on 10 June 2014, Council resolved to introduce an Organics Collection Kerbside Service charge for the introduction of the new food and garden waste kerbside collection. The new service will complement Council’s existing organics processing at the Cooma Landfill Depot, and will significantly reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.

This will be a dedicated organic waste collection system. Each household will be provided with a new 240 litre bin (at no charge) with a lime green lid to be used for all their food and garden waste (green waste), which will be collected once a fortnight on the off recycle collection week.

Each household will also be provided with a bench top kitchen caddy and caddy liners to help each household to collect food waste.

Organic Kerbside Collection Charge (Section 501 of the Act) This charge will apply to rateable assessments categorised as Residential and applies to all rateable land where the domestic organic food and garden waste kerbside collection is available.

Alice Williams of the Aboriginal Education Consultative Group (AECG) has been helping the kids of Cooma Public School explore the Indigenous Heritage of our region for the past five months.

Every Tuesday Alice has voluntarily lead the children in various educational programs that help introduce them to the traditions of the Aboriginal people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Monaro has a large Indigenous population in its schools and this program is about connecting those children back to country and back to culture,â&#x20AC;? Alice said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also about learning all together and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for the general population as well, we want the children to know our history,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The program started out small, as a one off talk for the children, instigated by the request of one of Aliceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grand children.

Together with the help of teacher Louise Jenkins and the rest of the Cooma Public staff, the program has become a weekly event

and something of great value to not only the Indigenous children, but also the general school population.

The children are taught the significance of their totem animals, this helps connect the child to their culture, identify their strengths and weaknesses as well as engages the whole school in the learning of the Aboriginal language.

The whole school was involved in a large cultural day on Thursday 26, where they were split into various tribal groups, including Kamilaroi, Dharawal, Yulin, Walgalu, Ngunawal, Dijiringanji, Wiradgjuri, Kuring-gai and Ngarigo.

Four of these tribes are represented locally throughout the Monaro.

As most people are unaware of how great the general Indigenous population across our region is, programs like this allow those children to feel included as a part of a wider community and also encourage the general population to embrace the traditions of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s native people.

Australian Energy Regulator action against Snowy Hydro Last Thursday, the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) instituted proceedings against Snowy Hydro in the Federal Court for alleged contraventions of the National Electricity Rules relating to dispatch compliance.

Snowy Hydro CEO Paul Broad said: “Snowy Hydro is willing to acknowledge those occasions when we did not meet dispatch instructions and we have already implemented appropriate corrective measures.

“However, we strongly refute media commentary that suggests Snowy Hydro attempted to

‘manipulate’ electricity prices.”

“While Snowy Hydro respects the role of the AER in enforcing the rules, and has been cooperating with the AER in its investigations, it is important to recognise the complexity of our plant and the dynamism of the National Electricity Market“.

Snowy Hydro has always prided itself on an active and rigorous culture of compliance since the start of the National Electricity Market in 1998.

We will continue to work with the AER to seek a resolution of this matter.

A big thank you to Mark Herbert for being our guest speaker on the day and taking us on an armchair journey to the Simpson Desert and beyond...

We were then treated to a delicious ‘Christmas in July’ themed lunch by Meagan Power and Judy Walters from the Dalgety Memorial Hall Committee who were kindly assisted

by Betty McCabe.

The afternoon session saw stories, discussions and planning for our

7 OPENS DAY All of the models on stage at the fundraiser at Bombala RSL Club.

Friday June 20 was a big night in Bombala, not only for local retailers Chloe and Chris of Final Touches, but also for melanoma sufferer Sharon Dei Rocini, affectionately known as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Skippyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

With over 250 people in attendance and an atmosphere that could only be described as simply â&#x20AC;&#x153;buzzingâ&#x20AC;?, the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Skippyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Melanoma Battleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fundraiser was nothing more than a complete success.

The ladies of Final Touches who were the masterminds behind the event both insisted that the night was â&#x20AC;&#x153;truly fantastic, both socially and financially.â&#x20AC;?

The final money count revealed that the fundraiser managed to secure an astounding $15,500, of which all proceeds will be donated to Skippy in order to help her as she continues to

battle stage four melanoma. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The huge crowd gave generously, we are so pleased to have raised so much money for such a lovely lady,â&#x20AC;? said Chris Ryan.

Items for the raffle and auction were donated by local Bombala and Cooma businesses, with some larger items drawing in great revenue for what is a truly wonderful cause.

The Bombala RSL Club was the perfect venue, with performers Hodakary Connection providing some quality musical entertainment and local ladies and spunky men putting on a fashion show that could rival the catwalks of Milan.

Although Skippy may live in Canberra, her family remains in Bombala and the supportiveness of this small community continues to shine through valiant efforts such as these.

Brumby meeting

the

postman calls

Julia Gillard may now be in our political past, but it seems thanks to the Palmer United Party we have recently welcomed a new even more slightly annoying voice to Australian politics.

Obviously The Postman knows that a pollies vocals aren’t a real insight into the depth and integrity of their policies, but it wouldn’t hurt Jacquie Lambie’s plight if she invested some time working on her Aussie drawl.

Not one to guard her opinion, having recently announced she believed the Prime Minister was a “bare-faced, uncaring liar” The Postman expects there will be some interesting quotes accredited to the Tasmanian in the near future.

Locally it seems once again that Cooma continues to fight against the ‘beautification’ of the township, with the colourful flags recently erected sucumbing to strong winds last week.

The Postman hopes the flags don’t go the way of the rockwalls in town, as a splash of colour when coming home from Canberra is really quite welcoming and surely lifts the spirits of the ski traffic on their way through town.

Speaking of ski traffic, the weather this week is predicted to give us another blanketing of the white stuff; so maybe you’ll catch this Postman out on the slopes!

Editor, May I, on behalf of Snowy Mountains Brumby Sustainability and Management Group, extend an invitation to your readers, an open invitation to attend a community interest meeting convened by SMBSMG to muster public support in the Monaro region for our iconic snowy brumby.

The meeting is to be held on July 12, 1pm at the Lake Jindabyne Hotel and will give supporters of the snowy brumby their opportunity to hear and endorse two resolutions that will be directed to the Premier of New South Wales.

The two resolutions are1)- That the State Government enact legislation to ban aerial culling of the brumby in NSW. 2)- That the State Government suspend, immediately, all brumby bait/ lure,trapping and handling campaigns currently implemented across Kosciuszko National Park.

SMBSMG is strongly of the opinion that the Baird State Government and the NPWS have a joint,covert agenda and policy of extermination of our iconic Snowy brumby.

Riposte

Lisa Ashurst

It’s nice to know that my efforts to encourage my kids to be free thinkers who would openly set their young minds free to travel way beyond the box was fairly successful...but sometimes I have to wonder if I may have been a bit too encouraging, especially when Twin I sends a completely out-there SMS in the wee small hours because he’s awake and thinking random thoughts about life, the universe and everything.

Twin I is at university and often works late into the night on assignments which can leave him in a philosophical state of mind, which leads to some random musings that he feels he just has to share, which leads to those lengthy texts to Daughter or me (but more often to both of us) which inevitably arrive around 2.30 or 3.00am and as both of us tend to wake when we hear the message jingle, well, we get it hot off the press so to speak.

His most recent was a text to Daughter at 3.28am last Saturday morning which read “I know it’s a bit late” (no kidding Keith!!!) “but I just had a thought. What makes time move forward?” which piqued Daughter’s interest, got her thinking and had her texting away a lengthy reply before she was even properly

This opinion is based on the group’s experiences in dealing with State Members of Parliament and NPWS personnel since SMBSMG’s formation after a successful community meeting in Tumut in 2013.

Our experiences reveal a marked and consistent reluctance by local Members of Parliament to commit to a pre-existing Memorandum of Understanding that affects recreational horse-riders and guarantees a future within Kosciuszko National Park for our snowy brumby.

SMBSMG strongly believe that the Baird State government and NPWS covert commitment to the extermination of the snowy brumby will see our generation witness the disappearance of the snowy brumby, to exist only in the pages of history.

SMBSMG cannot stress strongly enough the importance of the attendance of all supporters of OUR brumby.

Alan Lanyon, President, Snowy Mountains Brumby Sustainability and Management Group.

awake.

“So why didn’t you just go back to sleep and text him later on?” I asked.

“Because I had a really good answer and if I’d gone back to sleep I might have forgotten it!” Well okay, I can go with that. Daughter can talk on two phones at once while chatting with a third person on social media so answering a complex text with a lengthy reply while half asleep was a walk in the park for her.

Fine then, so maybe Twin I does some of his best thinking in the wee small hours which is all well and good but I have to admit that I’m not always at my deep-thinking best before 6.30am, so a text waking me between midnight and then with a general query about the universe, psychology or time/space continuums may not necessarily spark an intelligent response in the black hole of my sleep-infused mind.

In other words, I’m not going to even think about an answer until first light at least but preferably not until after my second cuppa. Fortunately he doesn’t mind the time delay between the send and the reply which is just as well I guess. The only thing going through my mind if startled awake by the message tone at that time of the morning is unsuitable for publication.

Interesting question about time though...

TIME IS TICKING AWAY - DONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T FORGET ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S TAX TIME

TAX TIME 2013/2014 ATO services make tax time easier From July 1, 1.4 million Australians with straightforward tax affairs will have access to the ATOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new myTax streamlined tax return and a range of enhanced services to make tax time easier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Half of all taxpayers who complete their own return can now lodge with myTax on their tablet device, smartphone or any computer,â&#x20AC;?

Assistant Commissioner Karen Anstis said.

MyTax has just 10 main screens to complete and is designed especially for those who only have income from their salary, wages, Australian government payments and allowances, bank interest and dividends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For those with more complex tax affairs e-tax is still the most convenient way to lodge online,â&#x20AC;? Ms Anstis said.

The ATO app has also been enhanced so individuals can lodge, using myTax, while on the move. They can also check the progress of their tax return, update their details and keep track of their super â&#x20AC;&#x153;People can track the progress of their tax returns, update their details and manage lost super accounts from the palm of their hand,â&#x20AC;?

Ms Anstis said.

ATO online services are now available through myGov. To lodge your tax return online - with myTax, e-tax or the ATO app - you will need to create a myGovaccount and link it to the ATO. This tax time weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re providing additional support for individuals to lodge online.

For specific enquiries about myGov and

linking the ATO, e-tax or myTaxlodgments, our general enquiries line 132 861 (option 5) will be available 8am to 10pm local time Monday to Friday, and between 10am and 5pm local time on weekends.

Find out more on: â&#x20AC;˘ MyTax and other online lodgment options visit ato.gov.au/lodgeonline â&#x20AC;˘ MyGov and how to create an account and link it to the ATO, visit my.gov. auExternal Link â&#x20AC;˘ the ATO app, visit the app stores or ato.gov.au/app.

Top tips for first time lodgers With over 470,000 individuals applying for a tax file number last financial year, many will now be about to experience lodging a tax return for the first time.

If this is your first year lodging a tax return, here are some top tips that will take the effort out of tax time: Wait until August to lodge your tax return Most information about your tax affairs is provided to the ATO by your bank, employer and other government agencies by August.

Why is this important for first time lodgers?

To use ATOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online lodgement services - myTax or e-tax â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you need to be able to verify your identity with information the ATO has in their databases.

As this is likely to be your first interaction with the ATO, verification will be reliant on the information provided by these third parties. So to avoid issues verifying your identity we recommend waiting until August when this information has been received by the ATO. Another good reason to wait until August to lodge is because this information can be prefilled in your myTax or e-tax

return. This will make lodging even easier and save you time, as all you will have to do is review the information, add any missing details and lodge.

Lodge online The ATO offers two free, fast, and secure services you can use to lodge your tax return online.

MyTax is a new streamlined lodgment option that allows you to lodge your return quickly and conveniently on tablets, smart phones and any computer. It is the fastest, most convenient way to lodge your return.

E-tax is for those with more complex tax affairs, offering a comprehensive and convenient way to lodge online on your PC or Mac computer.

To find out more about your online lodgment options this year visitato.gov.au/lodgeonline.

Need help? Speak to one of our Tax Help volunteers A large proportion of first time lodgers are students working part-time or individuals who have recently become

Property Investment Q & A Take Charge of your life with Property Investment

Honestly ask yourself, is your Super and Savings enough?

We have a great life here in the lucky country, but our “She’ll be right attitude” is setting up most Australian’s for a hard time when it comes to retirement.

Australian Bureau of Statistics found that 86.6 % of Australian’s will retire on $16,000 per annum. With another recent survey finding that the minimal amount required for a couple that own there house outright to live a comfortable life, not out there living your dream that you have worked for, just to be comfortable you need approx. $56,000 per annum.

Most people live for 22 years after retirement another stats show, that’s approx. $1.2 Million and this is not even taking into account that money halves in value every 7 to 10 years with inflation.

We see clients daily and yes some have Millions for their future but approx. 80% have less than $200,000 which is well short of the target you will need.

You can take charge of your financial future using Property as the vehicle. Below is a proven property investment blue print to a safe, secure and successful financial future.

1) CLARITY - Be honest with yourself and look at what you have in place now?

2) CERTAINTY - Understand what your timeline is to retirement and what are your life goals you want to achieve, “What’s on your bucket list” 3) ACTION PLAN - Now you have a target and a time line, you now need a plan.

4) RESEARCH & DUE DILIGENCE – You need to invest in the best locations in Australia at the optimum time of the Property Cycle. The 7 critical elements (Land, Timing, Location, Demand, Affordability, Financial Structure, Infrastructure spending) 5) QUALITY- You must have a quality built house and if you buy new it is the best option 6) EXPERTS – Surround yourself with experts, conveyance solicitor, Researchers, Property Managers, Quantity Surveyors, etc.

Don’t invest on emotion you must make sure you get the education you need to understand what makes the best investment for you.

If you want the Blue Print email me on the address below and I will send you a free educational video series so you will have all the information you need to invest when you are ready and the best time was yesterday.

At its first meeting of the new financial year, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) kept the cash rate at 2.50 per cent for the eleventh consecutive month, the longest and lowest period of rate stability in decades.

Loan Market director Mark De Martino said the low cash rate was helping lift consumer confidence while keeping inflation within the RBA’s targeted range.

“The low interest rates of the past year have been great for consumers either looking to get into the property market or pay lower interest rates on their existing mortgages. One of the biggest pluses has been that these low rates have kept inflation low, which is encouraging the the

long-term outlook for low interest rates,” he said.

Mr De Martino said low interest rates were one of the primary drivers behind Loan Market’s home loan settlements increasing by 25 per cent over the past six months compared to last year and that first home buyers were particularly active in purchasing.

“We’ve seen enquiries from First Home Buyers as high as almost 50 per cent of all our home loan enquiries this year. As the pool of prospective first time buyers continues to grow, we could eventually see them become the primary drivers of the property market,” he said.

Mr De Martino said one of the main

issues first time buyers faced was with their deposit sizes and that further concessions stamp duty or more purchasing grants would help them get into the market.

“Most prospective first time buyers watch the loan establishment costs eat into their savings and push them into Lenders Mortgage Insurance territory. These buyers have excellent loan applications but ultimately have to hold off until their deposit can cover the bank’s requirements and stamp duty.”

“If the government wants to see more new entrants into the property market, they’re going to have to look at more ways to incentivise them and reward the savings they already have.”

Get your finances in order this new financial year The beginning of a new financial year is a great time for Australians to get their finances in order and make their money work harder for them.

Mortgage Choice spokesperson Jessica Darnbrough said Australians can take significant steps now to help them maximise their tax refund, thus helping them to achieve their financial goals sooner rather than later.

“If you wish to maximize your tax refund, it is really important to know what you can claim and what you can’t. Many people have no idea that they can claim a tax deduction on petrol or home office expenses,” Ms Darnbrough said.

“You don’t have to run a business from home to claim things like stationary. Rather, you just need to have a dedicated place to work at home.

“Similarly, many property investors don’t realise that they may

be able to claim for a range of expenses, including agents’ fees, advertising, body corporate fees, capital expenses, building maintenance and repairs, cleaning, insurances, home loan fees and interest payments. Don’t forget council and water rates, plus the cost of travel to and from the property for inspections can also be claimed.

“One aspect that property investors often overlook when lodging their tax return is depreciation deductions. Depreciation applies to new and existing residential properties and in most cases owners of an investment property or properties are likely to be able to claim something.

“Everyone’s situation is different, so it is important to consult a financial adviser to help determine any tax deductions.”

Of course, while it is important to do all you can to maximise your tax return, Ms Darnbrough said now is also the perfect time to review your current financial situation and introduce changes that can not only help you to improve next year’s tax return, but your overall financial position.

“Part of good tax management involves making plans for the year ahead rather than facing a last minute rush,” she said.

Mortgage Choice provides the following tips for Australians moving into the new financial year: Formalising salary sacrifice super arrangements: Making salary sacrificed super contributions offers a simple way to save on tax and build wealth. It involves having part of your before-tax salary paid into your super rather than taking the money as cash in hand. These contributions are taxed at 15%, which is likely to be below your marginal tax rate (which could be as high as 46.5%), so more of your money goes towards growing your super rather than paying the tax man.

The Ultimate Lifestyle

Heather Anoleck Dip FMBM

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

To organise an obligation free appointment to discuss your loan, or financial needs, call me now on mobile: 0431 351 873

Community thanks Barry

Public consultation on new vegetation clearing laws

Several community members were able to thank Barry Aitchison at his farewell from the Rural Fire Service at Berridale recently.

Pictured top left, Mick Holton presented Barry with a restored ‘royal’ toilet seat, as a memento of his time with RFS. Top right: Berridale RFS captain Phillip Reid made a presentation to Barry on behalf of all the local RFS brigades.

NPWS regional manager Pam O’Brien, also made a presentation to Barry and thanked him for his 33 years of service.

People living in bush fire prone areas are encouraged to have their say on new vegetation clearing laws, designed to make homes safer during bush fire season.

The NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) is inviting public feedback on a draft Code of Practice for the new 10/50 vegetation clearing laws that will soon come into effect.

Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmers to gather in Sydney Farmers from across New South Wales will gather in Sydney this month to discuss and debate the future direction of their industry.

NSW Farmers annual conference is a key event on farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; calendars and is the grassroots policy-setting platform for the association.

More than 300 farmers will gather at Luna Park for three days to hear from guest speakers, enjoy social events and debate more than 70 motions on topics ranging from coal seam gas to wild dogs and drought policy.

Motions passed at conference will help to form the policy priorities of the association for the next 12 months.

Member of NSW Farmers and conference stalwart Michael Green from Cooma said coming to conference was a fantastic opportunity to input into the direction of agriculture in NSW. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It is great to have my say on the motions

which come in from all of the different regions.

I feel like my voice counts and I enjoy putting forward the views of my region,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Being a member gives me opportunities that I would not get otherwise and annual conference is just one of the many reasons why farmers should be members of NSW Farmers,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mr Green concluded.

Schute Bell wool report It was an overall positive week with the Northern market indicator not reflecting this because it was rebased by AWEX and scaled down by 7 cents for the start of the new selling season. The individual micron indicators reflect the true story with most registering an increase.

The better style fine types are slowly seeing an improvement but the abundance of poorer style fine types on the market are receiving some heavy discounts. 35,306 bales were sold nationally for the week with a passed in rate of 7.2%.

Winter livestock management Petrea Wait, LLS veterinary inspector The frosts and fog have arrived on the Monaro, reminding us that winter is here.

While we can go inside, put on a jumper and have a hot cuppa, our livestock are left outside to cope with the cold.

Although animals have adapted to survive in cold environments there are a number of things we can do to make their lives more comfortable and maintain productivity during a cold winter.

Ideally animals should go into winter in body condition score of three to four out of five (forward store to fat). This means that they should have a moderate covering of fat over the rump and hips, and the ribs and back bone are not visible or easily felt. Winter hair coats and fleece can hide body contours so it is best to run your hands over these areas for an accurate assessment.

The nutritional requirements for maintenance of livestock can increase significantly during cold weather, especially if animals become wet or if there is cold

wind. Energy requirements for animals with a healthy, dry winter coat increase by one percent for every degree drop in the wind chill temperature and by two percent if the animal is wet.

Freshly shorn animals need at least 20 percent more energy on a fine day, while their energy requirement doubles in bad weather.

If pasture is insufficient and animals are losing weight, additional energy can be provided by either hay or grain. Hay has the advantage of greater safety and greater heat release during digestion.

If grain is fed it should be introduced slowly, fed out daily and roughage should still provide at least 20 percent of the ration to help prevent grain poisoning. Females with nursing young will require an additional 20 percent of the diet as roughage for them to produce milk well.

Providing shelter during inclement weather will reduce the energy requirements of animals, decreasing feeding costs and improving animal

comfort.

Animals in good body condition, with adequate feed, and a dense winter coat or fleece can tolerate cold weather.

Providing protection from wind or rain via shelters, wind breaks, natural landscape or even coats will help maintain an animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition and is essential for very young, aged, thin or debilitated animals.

Ensuring an adequate and clean water supply is still important during winter. Ice and snow can provide some of an animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water requirement, but will not meet their total requirement, and consuming it will decrease their internal body temperature.

Water troughs will need to be checked daily to ensure they have not frozen over, as smaller animals will not be able to break through thick ice for a drink.

Parasite control is important prior to winter.

Reducing internal parasite burdens at this time has a double benefit.

Firstly it reduces the nutritional and physical stress on the animal, and secondly

it reduces the environmental contamination of pastures prior to spring at a time when parasite development on pastures is severely restricted.

Lice populations build up on animals over winter, so check and treat animals for lice prior to winter.

A high, dry place for animals to stand out of water and mud is important to maintain foot health.

Soft wet feet are prone to foot abscess, as well as other infections that may cause lameness, which will reduce an animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mobility and ability to graze.

This is particularly important for late pregnant ewes who risk pregnancy toxaemia if their feed intake decreases because of lameness.

Livestock that come out of winter in good condition will be more productive and profitable. Improving your animalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; health and condition prior to winter will help to ensure they remain comfortable and well during this tough season.

NSW Farmers has welcomed a $375,000 funding boost from the Federal Government to invest in research on farm health and safety.

Assistant Minister for Health Fiona Nash and Member for Parkes Mark Coulton announced one off funding of $375,000 for the Australian Centre for Agricultural Health and Safety in New South Wales.

The Moree-based centre provides invaluable work health and safety resources for New South Wales farmers, including work health and safety policy, on-farm safety

inductions and safety guides.

The centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aim is to reduce the incidence and severity of injury and illness with life and work in agriculture.

Chairman of the NSW Farmers Industrial Association Peter Darley welcomed the funding boost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The extra funding will support the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current work program which is an excellent education tool for farmers helping them to expand their knowledge of on-farm work health and safety,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Our men in Brazil - have landed home safely After three leisurely days in Florianopolis enjoying the sunshine, beaches and the magnificent seafood we set out for Curitiba, hoping for an upset against Spain.

The highlights of Florianopolis were a well restored Portuguese fort circa 1760 and the 500 year old town of Santo Antonio de Lisboa, the latter boasting the second oldest paved street in Brazil. It actually wasn’t in much worse condition than some of the streets in Cuiaba.

The idyllic few days in Florianopolis became a distant memory when we left Curitiba two hours late due a a stupid dispute with the bus companies, with the bus company wanting people to stay in the buses they arrived in and the Fanatics wanting people to travel in buses according to which hotel in Curitiba they were staying in. Eventually irrationality came out on top and we motored the 300 km to Curitiba in the original buses, with multiple stops at different hotels rather than one stop at the right hotel.

The bus trip was uneventful once we got going, along a top class two lane each way highway.

Traffic was heavy with many large trucks in evidence. As we travelled north along the coast we passed a number of quite large cities/towns, all of which seemed to be booming, with construction sites scattered all along the highway.

Curitiba is a modern city of 1.7 million people. Tourists are well catered for with a 46 km bus loop that covers all the major sites of the city, including a magnificent botanical gardens, a famous modern art museum and memorials to the various waves of European settlers, including Polish, Ukrainian, German and Italian.

The Tourist bus passed several suburbs featuring houses that

With the Fanatics finally getting jack of the busing problems and hiring a new company, the trip from Sao Paolo to Rio was a dream. We actually left on time and breezed onto the Copacabana mid afternoon.

Interestingly enough we passed the site of the fabled Mardi Gras, which is not as we thought held on a normal street but has got so large it is a boulevard flanked by a row of grandstands housing 60,000 people.

The number of people promenading up and down the Copacabana was amazing, probably 10 times the number of 3 weeks earlier. We had time for a wander down the beach for a last look, catch a bite at our favourite eatery before reluctantly heading for the airport for the long journey home.

All in all we had a very enjoyable time in Brazil, which proved to have so much more to offer than just the Amazon and Rio beaches.

The people were fantastic and could not have been more helpful despite our almost total lack of Portuguese (beyond ordering beer). The bureaucracy involved with such things as checking into hotels was a bit staggering at times but in time (Brazil time that is) things eventually happened.

Perhaps Brazil could be best summed up by a comment by a waiter in Florianopolis.

He said “Brazilians think of Australia as another Brazil, only Australia works ! ”.

Reserves solid 14-6 win Paddy Pallin Junior Cross Country Ski Event Thirty nine brave junior cross country skiers braved the wild and wintery weather to participate in the Paddy Pallin Juniors on Saturday June 28.

The snow was plentiful and so were the smiles, even with near blizzard conditions roaring across the ski tracks.

Participants ranged in age from 5 to 15 years, with skiers competing over varying distances from 200 metres to two kilometres with multiple laps of the sprint loop at the Perisher Cross Country Ski Centre.

The focus of the Paddy Pallin Juniors is to promote participation in cross country skiing and therefore skiers are only awarded their time taken to complete the course, rather than given a placing.

The traditional lunch of hot dogs, poppers and fruit was enjoyed by all competitors and helpers post event at the Nordic Shelter, followed by the presentation of certificates and

spot prizes, which were generously donated by Paddy Pallin.

For the final event of the day, the children were organised into teams of varying ages for the jelly snake hunt on skis, with the winning team coming away with a grand total of over 40 jelly snakes to share amongst themselves!

The Paddy Pallin Junior organisers extend many thanks to the sponsors, parents and friends who helped make it such a successful and enjoyable day. Special thanks to Paddy Pallin for providing the great spot prizes, hotdogs, drinks and jelly snakes, Perisher Supermarket for providing the bread rolls, Wiffens Canberra for the fruit, Leslie and Peter for accommodating the event at the Nordic Shelter and all of the helpers who assisted with many tasks to ensure the event occurred.

The Stallions cross for a try against Moruya.

The Reserve Grade Stallions took on the Moruya Sharks on Sunday and the boys were looking to redeem themselves from two previous losses against the Sharks.

The game started with a knock on at the kick off for the Sharks, unfortunately it was a missed opportunity for the Stallions but a hopeful sign the game was going to be a good one. Cooma and Moruya traded errors back and forth.

Cooma’s Zane Weston, Scott Lloyd and Dean Wolf were pushing hard for the line but Moruya’s defence held strong.

Finally a missed tackle by Moruya’s winger on the line saw Nathen Wren pass to Dean Wolf then to Jesse Werth who charged for the line.

With a successful conversion by Brett Dorward the Stallions opened up the scoring at 6-0 with only 12 minutes to go. Both teams held up strong and the Stallions headed into the sheds at half time up 6-0.

Moruya came back from the break looking to even the score with a quick play the ball but they were held up by a rock solid Stallions defensive line.

Not giving up the Sharks were piling on the pressure and were back for another shot at the line but with Scott Lloyd and Josh Steinke deep in the tackle, the Sharks were held up and their five tackles were over.

Ball change over and all the momentum was with the Stallions against a crumbling Sharks when Dean Wolf came into play with a nice flick pass to Zane Weston who put the ball down untouched.

The Stallions had a 10 point lead with the Sharks yet to find the line.

Luke McGregor made some great tackles from second row but the Sharks looked for the gap at the corner post and crossed for their first successful converted try in what was a long 45 minutes, narrowing the Stallions lead to 10-6.

The Stallions wasted no time responding and Luke McGregor crossed the line to take the Stallions to a 14-6 lead.

Dean Blyton weaved his way through the Moruya defence and made a great run up the line but a

missed offload saw Moruya take advantage and head for their line again.

Moruya made Cooma’s defensive line work hard to keep the Stallions in front with Dan Caldwell, Brett Dorward, Austin Willis, Scott Lloyd and Aaron Pidcock all involved in try saving tackles.

Growing in frustration, the Sharks lost a player to the sin bin for 10 minutes and with only five minutes

to go the Sharks then gave away a penalty when Dean Wolf was hit with a shoulder charge.

Hoping to make the most of their penalty 60m from their line they attacked a weakened Sharks defence but with no luck.

The siren rang and the Stallions claimed a 14-6 win against the Moruya Sharks in what was a gargantuan effort by all the boys. Three points went to Scott Lloyd, 2 points to Dean Wolf and 1 point to Luke McGreggor.

Player’s player was Jesse Werth.

Next week the Stallions are playing CandeloBemboka at Cooma Showground at 1pm.

Cooma Car club’s new executive Junior Football secures new sponsors Cooma Car club held its annual general meeting on Monday night.

Rob Wolfe was elected president, with Steve Redden secretary and Darrell Gaukroger treasurer.

The club still needs a vice president. Also elected were Peter Longhurst, Jeannine Rixon, Peter Quodling, Ron Knight, Roy Rees, Dave van der Plaat, Ian Hampton, Glen Pendergast and Jim Appleby.

Bravehearts protect local kids A representative from Cooma Little Athletics Centre joined representatives from a number of NSW and ACT Little Athletics Centres at the launch of a joint initiative between child protection advocate Bravehearts and Little Athletics Australia (LAA) in Canberra recently.

The ACT’s first LAA Supporting Hands workshop was held at the Woden Southern Cross Club on Sunday, with the program set to travel to each of the country’s Little Athletics state conferences, keeping more than 96,000 Aussie kids safe.

Supporting Hands aims to address the myths that surround child sexual assault and misperceptions that are commonly held in relation to offenders. The workshop also looks at child sexual assault facts and figures and teaches those who work with children how to deal with disclosures or reporting concerns.

Bravehearts criminologists, psychologists and education teams have worked alongside the Queensland Police Child Protection Unit to develop the program, which takes a proactive approach to educating and motivating all adults who work with children.

Bravehearts Founder and CEO Hetty Johnston said the Supporting Hands program was the culmination of 16 years of evidence-based research working directly with survivors of child sexual assault and learning from their experiences.

“We are delighted to partner with Little Athletics Australia (LAA) – an organisation taking child protection seriously by empowering its staff and volunteers with vital training around child sexual assault,” she said.

“To launch an initiative like this is fantastic and a real illustration of how sporting organisations like LAA are getting on the front foot when it comes to equipping staff with the tools to better protect our kids. Every organisation that works with children has a duty of care and responsibility to protect them.

The Supporting Hands workshops will form part of each Little Athletics’ State Association Conference programs for 2014, with State Conferences and workshops taking place across the country in June, July and August. Little Athletics staff and directors, volunteers, parents, coaches and officials will all participate.

The 2014 Junior Football Season is nearing the halfway point and with the FIFA World Cup well and truly under way, teams from around the Monaro are playing their part in a game that is currently being watched by millions.

St Patrick’s Junior Football is one of the schools involved and were fortunate enough to attract new sponsors this year for their U9 and U10 Natalee Reid and Marco Giuliani with the teams.

Marco and Melissa new football jumpers.

Giuliani from Cooma Furnishing Co. together with Natalee, both Cooma Football Club and St Sonya, Tim and Christopher Reid of Patrick’s.

Other St Patrick’s jersey sponsors TCR Concrete Pumping have lent include Kettle & Seed, Hillross, their business names to the two Monaro Joinery, Sam Hain Electrical, teams, securing new jerseys for the Quods Plumbing, Mondo’s Coatings, U10 Wildcats and the U9 Bobcats.

The two local companies have Sth East Rural, Up She Goes and children playing the game that is Elders.

Season 2014 heads into a few keeping young and old up all night, watching live games of soccer weeks off over the July school direct from Brazil, and were more holidays, but will return to Nijong Oval than happy to be affiliated with from 8.45am on Saturday July 19.

Briscola competition

Cooma Bocce Sporting Club held its popular Annual Briscola card competition on Sunday.

This event is proudly sponsored by the Stefani family.

Seven teams competed in this competition. The winning combination of Paola Stefani and ex-Cooma boy Johnny Solari was successful with five wins from six games.

Second place getters were Ada Rossetto and Franco Mondolo with last year’s winners Anita Stefani and Luciana Balzano coming third.

A great social day was had by all and with cold windy conditions outside there was no better place to be than next to the fire laughing and playing cards. The Club would like to thank all the ladies who helped prepare and

serve the lovely lunch.

The Cooma Bocce Sporting Club would like to take this opportunity to announce its next event for their members and guests.

The Annual Tonini Cup will be held on Sunday July 20. This year half the proceeds from the competition day will go directly to Daniel Pevere. Daniel will be representing Australia at the World Junior Bocce Championships in Italy and Monaco in September 2014.

Any interested members wishing to play and anyone wanting to come for lunch need to inform the committee by contacting David on 0428 911 095 and need to register at the Bocce club

by July 16.

With the winter comp about to get underway next week we are having an “open night” on Thursday.

The courts will be available from 6.30-9 pm Thursday 10th for you to play as many games as you can fit in against as many players you can find – every game will be first to 21.

You will only play one game against your opposition then swap around. It should be a good fun night and good practice for the comp.

All grades are invited – the only thing we will be asking is that you swap around after each game – providing the number of players are available – so everyone gets their fair share of the action.

The best news is that it will only cost $10 per adult and $5 for school age for as much squash as you can fit in.

Tell your mates about it and let’s make it a great night!

Calling all squash players

Coolamatong Golf Sundays Stableford for the men was won by Ben Beattie with 37 points on a count back from Mark Lockyer.

Wednesday for the ladies was once again Jan O’Halloran, with runners up Mary Obermaier, Robin Fletcher and Beth Clarke.

Cats return to form at the Bay

Anthony Brennan outleaps his opponent in the ruck. Below: Sam Hunter clears the ball for the Cats.

The Cooma Cats had a remarkable turn of fortunes in their NSW/ACT AFL division three fixture at Batemans Bay on the weekend beating the South Coast Seahawks, Cooma 10.10 (70) to South Coast 10.6 (66).

The Cats were out to make amends for last weekend’s away loss to Cootamundra and for three quarters looked like they were carrying on where they had left off the weekend before as poor disposal and a lack of composure left the Cats behind at each change.

It was only the tackling of Sam Hunter and the commitment to the ball of Adam Asanovski and Matt Briant that had the Cats in the contest up until half time. Cats coach Damian Asanovski asked his side to ignore all of the outside factors and look internally for the team effort required to lift and get themselves back into the game.

A strong showing of support from the travelling band of supporters encouraged the Cats at the final change even though they were then 28 points adrift. At the first bounce of the final quarter with Anthony Brennan back into the ruck and playing through an injury, his tap to the midfield and a thrust forward and suddenly the Cats of 2014 clicked into gear.

Goals to Kyle Hubert, Dean Schmahl and Zac Bowden in consecutive minutes saw the Cats claim the lead and a resurgent wave of momentum shift and two further goals had the Cats even 10 points up with minutes to spare.

Only then did the never say die Seahawks make a last minute bid to win the game with a late goal and a thrust forward before the Cats Captain Taylor Lee punched and cleared the ball only for the siren

to sound with the sea hawks four points adrift. Cats supporters and players were ecstatic with a victory which never looked likely and a comeback effort that is most definitely finals worthy.

The Subway Cooma player of the week award went to Adam Lee whose consistent four quarter effort was a highlight for the team.

The Cats travel to Football Park, Woden next week for a rematch with Yass who defeated them in round one and a good test for the Cats in preparations for their finals campaign.

The Under 18 Stallions travelled to Moruya on Sunday to take on the Moruya Sharks for the first time on their home ground.

In a strong performance, they were victorious by 22-4.

The Stallions opened the scoring early. The Sharks let a Stallions bomb bounce into the in goal. Josh Steinke won the race to the ball and scored beside the posts.

The Stallions forwards were laying the platform with all the players putting their hand up in both attack and defence.

Cooma were able to absorb the pressure being mounted

by Moruya, defending three sets on their own try line. They then sparked in attack charging downfield.

The Stallions next try was a great combination of skill and team work, starting with off loads from Kieren Rodwell and like Ingram followed by a back line movement which ended with Austin Willis-Reynolds diving over in the corner for a try.

The conversion by Aaron Pidcock unfortunately hit the upright, but took the Stallions to a 10-0 lead at half time.

The boys started with a bang in the second half with Aaron Pidcock getting the ball from a scrum, breaking the Sharks defence and running 60 metres to score under the posts.

In the next set Cooma again asserted their authority in attack gaining good metres. A bomb was hoisted on the

With the conversion the Stallions increased their lead to 22-0.

Shortly after Cooma gave away penalty while in possession and Moruya were able to capitalise by scoring a try straight after to take the score to 22-4 with 20 minutes to play.

This score remained until full time with Cooma continuing to maintain their intensity in defence. Players Player was awarded to Tyler Jones for a great game in both attack and defence, just ahead of Aaron Pidcock and Daniel Douch.

Fillies continue their winning ways Monique Ingram combined again down the left hand side to extend the score and set up Bracher’s first try. At half time, the score of 8-0

reflected the tight contest and the Fillies determination in the face of a tough opposition.

In the second half, Moruya came out firing and were dominant for the opening few sets, breaking through the Fillies unsettled defence on multiple occasions. Kayla Jamieson had her work cut out for her at the back and saved two certain tries with diving tags, before Moruya’s Jasmine Campet snuck through the line and scored Moruya’s only try.

The Fillies were quick to reassert their authority over the game and within minutes,

hit back through the hard work of Abby Schofield, quick hands from Trina Brownlie and the consistently commanding run of Meg Bracher.

The middle of the second half was locked in a tight battle between the teams, with Kristy Nichols shaking off an ankle injury from the first half and making two barnstorming breaks down the left flank, giving the Fillies great field position.

Maree Ingram and Georgie Clarke combined well in the middle and were unlucky not to extend the lead, while Brooke Morey defended masterfully and Bec Robson made good meters up the middle. With a minute remaining on the clock, Jane Peadon was rewarded for her support throughout the day, crossing on the left wing following some determined play and buoyed by her explosive speed, she managed to scoot around defenders and with Maree Ingram’s conversion, took the final score to 18-4.

Though the result was in the Fillies favour, the Moruya girls tested their attack and defence and were unlucky not to score a second during the course of the game. Players’ player this week was awarded to the unrelenting Meg Bracher; 3 points went to Maree Ingram, who was a constant headache for Moruya’s defenders; 2 points went to Abby Schofield whose kicks in play were accurate and passes were well timed; and 1 point was awarded to Kayla Jamieson who was instrumental in preventing Moruya from catching the Fillies lead.

Next week, the Fillies take on Merimbula-Pambula at the Cooma Showground.

The Fillies continued their winning streak this week, taking down the Moruya Sharkettes 18-4 in a tight contest in Moruya.

Both teams fought fiercely to gain ascendency in a match where handling errors riddled both teams, but in the end, the Fillies defence was too strong for the continuously improving Sharkettes.

Both teams came out firing in the first half and for the opening 15 minutes, the contest ebbed and flowed with no points achieved.

Maree Ingram came close to opening the scoring, breaking the line within Moruya’s 10m, but was denied inches from the white line. Similarly, a pin-point accurate kick from Abby Schofield almost led to the opening try, but the ball spun away from May Peck’s reach. Emma Sullivan threatened Moruya’s defence up the middle, drawing defenders consistently and setting up some opportunities for the outside runners, while Meg Bracher earned her side repeat penalties through powerful runs and cemented herself as a standout player on the day. In the 17th minute, Peck finally opened the scoring through a set play, with Anna Steel, Sue Morgan and Bracher combining with Peck, who crossed out wide. This reignited the Fillies spark, and after a strong attacking set, Bracher, Steel and

Red Devils double victories over Yass The Cooma Red Devils took on the Yass Rams on Saturday afternoon at Rotary Oval and came away with victory in both grades.

Reserve grade took to the field on Saturday with a full strength squad but again Cooma started slowly and after the first 10 minutes Yass had scored two easy tries to have a handy 14-0 lead. Cooma finally got their hands on the ball and from deep within their half decided to spread the ball wide and run it out of trouble.

With good hands Liam Salt was able to find room to move and after a 70m run had Cooma within attacking range and after being awarded a penalty, a quick tap from Cooma saw Neil Schouten dive over and score.

Matt Crowley converted and Cooma had reduced the margin to 14-7.

Minutes later Cooma was over again after Cooma again had found space through the Yass backs. This time it was a quick shift of hands back to the blind side and it was the sea gull Chris Roberson who was able to crash over in the corner.

Matt Crowley was able to convert from the sideline into the wind and the game was now locked up at 14 all.

Cooma, now playing with confidence, were starting to control the game and with strong runs from Matt Perkins, Damo Allen and Sam Hand Cooma were getting across the advantage line and making easy metres.

Coomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third try came about when Matt Crowley was able to get an inside ball and run straight through only to be tackled metres out from the try line but the ever present Jack Rudd was there to pick up the ball and dive over under the posts.

Another conversion saw Cooma take the lead 21-14.

Cooma scored again before half time, this time Salty was able to crash through the defence and score to give Cooma a 28-14 half time lead.

Cooma had the wind at their backs in the second half and with that used their kicking game to keep turning Yass around and with a strong kick chase game from Aaron and Jake had Yass pinned within their own half for long periods of time.

With this pressure Cooma was able to again post points with Ruddy continuing his great game and bagging a double when he was able to barge his way over.

Crowley again converted for a 3514 lead. Cooma extended its lead further after Robbo was able to get his second try after running into a hole in the defence out wide reaching out and scoring on the line.

Cooma kept applying the pressure to Yass and Nathan Boate was able to score after the ball came out of a ruck and he toed it into the in goal and scored.

Crowley converted to have a perfect day with the boot. Cooma let in a late try to make the final score

49-19. Points in second grade 1 point Matt Crowley, 2 Points Eddie Thomas 3 points and playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s player Jack Rudd.

First grade First Grade took to the field on Saturday looking to keep building on from their impressive win last week.

Both sides came out firing but Cooma was a little flat with their talk down but after 10 minutes both sides had settled into the grind and with Ryan Morgan kicking an early penalty that gave Cooma the early lead.

Yass was quick to respond with a converted try.

Cooma lifted and on the back of strong runs from Tom Laddams, Pat Egan and Phil Johnson, Cooma were able to work their way down field and with the forwards setting a strong platform the backs were able to spread the ball and Tom Laddams was able to crash through the defence and score.

A successful conversion from Ryan Morgan gave Cooma an 8-7 lead. Yass again replied with a try of their own to take back the lead 12-8. But again Cooma responded after strong runs from Ben Neilson, James Strange and Matt Jamieson got Cooma on the front foot.

With quick hands Ryan Morgan was able to put Ben Kelly over in the corner. A missed conversion saw Cooma regain the lead 13-12.

Cooma added to the score when Ryan Morgan was able to kick a penalty goal going into to half time to make the score 16-12.

The second half saw a very even game with both sides having chances but great last-ditch tackles prevented either side from scoring further points.

Yass was able to score a try mid way through the second half to regain the lead 19-16 and with both sides lifting its intensity the game was there for the taking.

Cooma levelled the scores with another penalty goal to Morgan with 10 minutes left on the clock.

This gave Cooma a boost and with the increase in intensity Cooma were able to apply pressure to the Yass defence and Matt Jamieson was able to break through the defence run 30m to score under the posts.

Morgan converted for a 26-19 lead, Cooma had a late shot at another penalty goal but it was waved away, giving Cooma victory 26-19.

Points in first grade, 1 point Andrew Rolfe, 2 points Tom Laddams, 3 Points and Players Player Matt Jamieson.

Few for social bowls

After some confusion, bowls got underway on Satruday with 22 players, an improvement on previous weeks.

Mary Obermaier, Ev Hamilton and Nelson Wallace were early leaders against Maureen D’Amico, Renate Winckel and Leonie Snell for the first five ends but dropped four shots to level the scores at 7/7 on end six and a further two on the next end to put their opponents in front 9/7.

Nine proved to be a poor score for Leonie’s team as they were kept on that score for six ends whilst Nelson’s team advanced to 16 and went on tow in 21/18.

Mary Phillips and Sergio Roncelli made a great start against Bob Douglas and Jack Sajina to lead 13/3 after 11 ends.

Bob and Jack then scored 11 shots to one level the scores at 14/14 and go on to win 25/19.

Keith Goodwin started out as a swinging lead but after one end the group was joined

by Paul Schulz, with Don Jarvis, Paul and Mel Storta playing Keith, Peter Marsicano and Guilio D’Amico.

Guilio’s team got away to a flyer to lead 17/6 by end 13 and then rubbed salt into the wound with six shots on 14.

By mutual consent the game

ended on end 18 with the score card showing 24/10 in Keith, Peter and Guilio’s favour.

Skip Hamilton, John Vincent and Wayne Lodge had a shot for shot game against Mario Frezza, Ron Wainwright and John Schoon to be 11/11 on end 13.

Six shots over ends 14 and 15 put John’s team in front but Skip, John and Wayne played better bowls over the concluding stages to win 22/19.

Bowlers were notable by their absence on Sunday with just four players taking part.

Bob Douglas and Colin Roberson set up a 10/0 lead over Keith Goodwin and Kim Weston, forcing the latter pair to play catch-up bowls for the rest of the match, but were unable to do so with Bob and Colin winning 22/14.

Bowlers are reminded of the Handicap Pairs for which entries close on July 14 with play commencing the following weekend.

At last count only 18 players have entered for this event so get your name on the sheet.

Also coming up is the Club’s ‘Christmas in July’ function on Friday July 25 at 7pm for a 7.30pm start, with a two course meal and live music all for $30 per head.

Cooma ladies golf results On Wednesday July 2, in much better weather conditions, a small field played a nine-hole stableford competition.

The winner on a count back was Joan Bracher from Clare Nowland, both players scoring 12 points.

Clare took the first ball.

Maureen Fletcher with 11 points took the second ball and Elsie Egan with 8 points took the last ball,

on a count back from Bea Russell and Julie Upton.

Once again, unfortunately, no ladies played over the weekend in Cooma.

However a one of our ladies travelled to the coast to play in the Pambula/ Merimbula Golf Club’s Tournament.

We hope she played well.

Until Next Week Happy Golfing.

Tegan taking on the world Continued from page 40.

She qualified to join the Australian national team at the Norway World Championships based upon her performance in the Australian national series, which runs from December to March.

In order to qualify, juniors need to achieve a specified percentage of the Elite Men’s times.

“It (the National Championship) is one race, one run, and whoever wins is the world champion,” explains Molloy.

Molloy, quietly spoken and understated in manner, is the only female on the junior team this year, a fact that appears to bear little significance beyond logistical planning.

“It’ll be interesting being the only girl this year. Last year I had a few girls there to room with and stuff, but this year it might be a bit different.”

With the winter conditions forcing Molloy away from her Thredbo training base, her current regime consists of gym work and cross-country riding around Jindabyne, as well as weekend down hill rides in Canberra.

Having deferred a university course in Sports Management and Tourism Management at the University of Canberra, Molloy has big plans for the remainder of her gap year.

“We’ll see what happens with that (university) next year.

Next year I step up to Elite, I’ll see what happens from there overseas. I’d like to keep racing internationally, but we’ll see what happens with sponsors. This year I’d like to win junior world championships and establish myself as a rider, and then hopefully get on the world team. Eventually I’d like to be elite world champion.”

Riding overseas doesn’t come cheap, especially when the trips are self-funded, as is the case with Molloy’s campaign.

“It’s not cheap, but I’ve gotta give it a crack,” she says with a sense of determination.

She’s grateful for the support she has received from the local community, including Thredbo MTB. “I’d just like to thank everyone for backing me and supporting me in reaching my goals.”

Based on Molloy’s track record, her steely resolve and modestly expressed ambition, that support looks set to continue.

The Tegan Molloy Fundraiser will consist of a Dinner and Auction Night held at the Brumby Bar & Bistro on Jul 25y. Tickets can be purchased at Jindabyne Sport & Rec, Jindabyne Pharmacy, or from John McLaughlin on 6456 2389.

Tegan taking on the world

Jack Needham Local downhill mountain biking sensation, Tegan Molloy, is heading to the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) Mountain Bike and Trials World Championships in Norway this September.

A fundraising dinner has been planned for July 25 to assist Molloy, raised in Jindabyne, to get to Norway.

The 18-year-old has been riding in the UCI World Cup Series since late March, which has included time in South Africa, Australia, Scotland and Austria.

“It’s not really where you’d expect a mountain bike race to be held, but it’s quite a unique course and everyone over there’s really into it,” Molloy said of South Africa.

Molloy, riding for Kona Australia, has achieved some

NEW

impressive results; including consistent top two finishes in her junior category as well as top 20 performances in the overall Women’s Elite field.

In Fort William, Scotland, she placed 17th in the final round of 20 women.

The Cairn’s leg of the competition, where Molloy placed 18th in the Women’s Elite, was a clear demonstration of Australia’s growing interest in her sport of choice.

“It’s definitely growing. I think more people are realising how much fun it is and they’re actually getting into it. It was pretty cool racing in Cairns with the Australian crowd, everyone was just so supportive, it was a pretty surreal feeling,” she said.
