Local wool classer Mal Adams runs sheep and cattle at his family farm ‘Wahroon’, and he has just clocked one million kilometres on the odometer of his Toyota Landcruiser.

The 1982 Landcruiser HJ 47 4 litre diesel has been with Mal since 1985 when his father bought it off Bruce Starr with just 100,000km on the clock.

The cruiser has had an engine rebuild at 600,000km and other than that remains in almost original condition.

The ute has no air conditioning but he has had it fitted with power steering and

had the seats re-upholstered, as well as the addition of five tape decks before upgrading to a CD player.

Mal attributes the remarkable feat to regular maintenance and oil changes, and says that it is a ‘freak engine’ that has allowed him to travel most of the country in the ute.

He has travelled extensively through New South Wales and Queensland in the cruiser, starting when he first left school.

“I left school and took it to Queensland. It knows every

town in Queensland from Charleville to Longreach,” he said.

“It’s been through the Territory to Darwin and through Western Queensland in the red bull dust.”

The only states he has missed are Tasmania and Western Australia and he is not ruling out visiting them in the future.

Mal says the Cruiser is still running well and there are no foreseeable problems and he is looking forward to the next million kilometres.

From Kandahar to Kosciuszko Yesterday, 10 team members, including returned soldiers Tyson Murray and Adrian “Moose” McKenzie set off on the Chamberlain Foundation’s “Chambo Challenge”, trekking over five days from the NSW South Coast to the highest point in Australia, to raise funds for suicide prevention.

Co-founder of the Chamberlain Foundation, Pete Chamberlain has chosen to embark on this challenge of a lifetime trekking over 200kms from boots in the water at Bermagui to the top of Mount Kosciusko to raise awareness and much needed funds for Lifeline Canberra to support service men and women and emergency services first responders experiencing mental health issues and who are at risk of suicide.

Hendy’s $80m local roads plan helps Cooma Member for Eden-Monaro Dr Peter Hendy has inspected roadworks on Bombala Street, Cooma, which are receiving $35,000 of funding as part of his $80 million plan for better local roads in Eden-Monaro.

“Bombala Street in Cooma is undergoing important improvements by the Cooma-Monaro Shire Council with $35,000 in funding from the Turnbull Coalition Government,” said Dr Hendy.

“Bombala Street will undergo work to reseal the road to repair cracking as part of the Council’s resealing program.”

“Better local roads deliver better

access to our homes, jobs, and local schools, and that’s why I’m delivering $80 million to build better roads in Eden-Monaro.”

“Mayor Lynch and the CoomaMonaro Shire Council have identified this as an important local priority for improving our local road network, and I’m pleased the Turnbull Coalition is able to provide $35,000 to make it happen,” Dr Hendy said.

The Turnbull Coalition Government is funding the $35,000 improvements to Bombala Street as part of the $4.6 million Roads to Recovery funding for Cooma-Monaro under Peter Hendy’s local roads plan.

Cooma Hospital staff stays safe Between the Flags Lights, camera, action!

Making their short film debut, the Cooma Hospital had a special viewing of their Between the Flags video on Saturday night.

Between the Flags is a program developed under the Essentials of Care initiative by the Clinical Excellence Commission to improve the quality of patient care within hospitals. Like lifesavers on a beach, hospital nurses and doctors respond when a patient’s condition deteriorates, falling into the yellow or red danger zones, or ‘outside the flags’.

Starring in the entertaining video were hospital staff members, who used humour to get their message across.

By making the video funny, the staff believes it is more engaging and a shortcut to getting

the important message across when it comes to early recognition of the deteriorating patient.

For the viewing, the hospital invited a guest speaker, Professor Ken Hillman. Professor Hillman is an intensive care clinician at Liverpool Hospital and also teaches at the University of New South Wales.

Helping to introduce the Medical Emergency Team that responds to patients early in their deterioration, Professor Hillman was one of the pioneers to first introduce this system in Australia. “This new process has almost halved the number of cardiac arrests in hospitals across Australia,� he says, “We have achieved this simply by rearranging what we do in a hospital. It’s not rocket science.�

“Another great thing this process has done has been to empower nurses to call for help when they are worried about a patient.�

Health Service Manager Antje Badger said that she was very proud of the team of staff who put the video together. “I have the great pleasure of working with a highly skilled, very committed and passionate team of people,� she said, “They constantly go over and above what is required of them in their normal role and it gives me more energy to be working with them.� “We are always striving to improve, and some of the initiatives include looking at patient experience and safety as well as addressing the culture in the hospital, which this video does,

ensuring that the staff feel safe and confident in their practice.�

Getting into the spirit of the Between the Flags program, hospital staff, family and Professor Ken Hillman enjoyed the celebration on Saturday night.

Break-ins, drug discoveries Police report Police stopped a vehicle in Kosciuszko Road in Berridale on Friday April 8. Locating 48.5g of cannabis and a number of bags of white powder and granules.

This substance has been sent for analysis but is believed to be amphetamines.

The 37-year-old male driver from Jindabyne has been charged, pending the results of the analysis and is set to appear in Cooma Court next month.

An aggravated break and enter occurred at 1.30am on Wednesday April 6. A couple were asleep in their residence in Creek Street when they were woken by a noise. At first believing it to be their cat, they noticed a shadow at the door. Calling out, the person ran off, leaving the door ajar and knocking over plants and solar lights in the yard outside.

Fingerprints have been called and police are awaiting the results. If anyone has more information, they are encouraged by police to come forward.

Another break and enter occurred in Bent Street between 10am and 2pm on Wednesday April 6. Residents came home to find one of the ground floor windows removed from the frame.

Although it is believed

that the perpetrator gained access to the property, nothing was taken.

A wallet was stolen from the Cooma Library on Tuesday April 5. A man sat at one of the computer stations, placing his wallet on the desk. Moving to a different location in the library, he left his wallet on the desk. Upon coming back to get it, he found that it was missing. The wallet was later found in Sharp Street and handed in to police with everything from inside it missing.

Busy weekend for fire fighters Hazard reduction burns are almost complete, with Rural Fire Services undertaking them at Dry Plains, Varney’s Range and Numbla Vale.

RFS and Cooma Fire and Rescue attended a small grass fire on Frasers Road at Rose Valley. The fire burnt five hectares on Sunday and destroyed a farm vehicle before being extinguished by fire fighters.

On Monday April, 11, Cooma Fire and Rescue attended a fuel spill in Barron Street after a vehicle spilt about 20L of fuel onto the road.

On Friday April 8, a Salvation Army vehicle rolled down an embankment on

Shannons Flat Road after losing control on a sweeping right hand bend. It ran 30m along the embankment before coming down it and doing a 180 degree turn, finally being stopped by a fence. The 66-yearold male driver was knocked unconscious, but no serious injuries were sustained. Cooma Fire and Rescue released him from the vehicle before he was transported to Cooma Hospital for observation.

RFS also attended a vehicle fire in Adaminaby on the night of Sunday April 10. Investigations

Return to the Forbidden Planet opening night 1.

General Manager, JOE VESCIO

The annual Snowy Men’s Mountain Muster 4WD tour took place last week with over 60 members enjoying a wonderful day out in the mountains. This year’s destination was Bradley's Hut via Happy Jack's road.

Andrew from NPWS gave a talk at Queens Lookout, while the group took in the view from of Lake Eucumbene and surrounds, probably over three quarters of the lake can be seen.

As the convey passed the site of Happy Jack's Village, nothing remains now, only history.

What once was a busy site during the construction of the Happy Jacks Pondage and the boring of the tunnel from Tumut Ponds to Lake Eucumbene, with the tunnelling commenced from both ends meeting at Junction Shaft.

This hidden part of the mountains is quite spectacular, steep mountains, granite outcrops and crystal clear creeks.

3.

The group was greeted at Bradley's Hut where the fire was going, tables and chairs set up and the BBQ under way. While the group enjoyed lunch, they were given a run down by rural fire officer on their activities and things to be aware of in a fire situation. Along with information from two ambulance officers explaining what to do in an emergency.

Many thanks to Lee, Barry, Council’s Community Services staff and all their helpers for once again putting on such a fantastic day for the men.

The museum itself even has live animals such as fish, lizards and even penguins!

Another place worth a visit, especially if you are travelling with kids, is the Exploratorium. This is an interactive science museum, with lots of hands on experiments and displays. Lots of fun, no matter your age!

5. Fisherman’s Wharf. This is the main tourist center of San Francisco. It is a bustling area full of wonderful seafood stalls and restaurants with offerings such as clam chowder, crab and lobster! As well as the seafood there is a multitude of themed and franchise restaurants as well as a multitude of tourist attractions such as the Aquarium, the Cable Car turn station, tourist shopping and the Ghirardelli

Bundian Way Story Trail walking track officially opened

With the Delegate community being closely involved in the Bundian Way Project, a number of locals travelled to Eden on April 4 for the opening of the Story Trail section of the walking track.

A large gathering of 200 came together near Eden’s Cocora Beach for the official launch of the 1.5km trail, which links Cocora Beach to Quarantine Bay. The Story Trial is just a small part of the

overall Bundian Way, which is an ancient Aboriginal ancestral pathway linking Twofold Bay to the Snowy Mountains; work is ongoing to make the entire route a popular walking trail with national significance.

The Eden Aboriginal Land Council welcomed state and federal politicians to the launch among other special guests, which included Bombala Council Mayor, Bob Stewart.

Member for Bega, Andrew Constance

said the opening of the Story Trail had local, national and international significance, while Member for EdenMonaro, Peter Hendy assured federal commitment for the Bundian Way project into the future.

Aboriginal Pastor, Uncle Ossie Cruse said the Story Trail was an important part of the Bundian Way’s “Pathway of Peace”.

“Today marks a big step, or footprint, in the developments here in Eden, particularly

for our children; it’s something that is going to last for their generation, and the generations after them,” he said.

“So it’s going to be a great future for us all, and today is a futuristic thing, where we’re seeing the fruits of lots of labour.”

The driving force behind the project and Chairman of the Bundian Way Advisory Committee, John Blay said it was a fantastic day “It’s the opening of the Bundian Way Story

Trail, and it will very briefly encapsulate the whole of the Bundian Way route as well as Aboriginal culture and stories,” Mr Blay said.

It was then time for the official opening itself, with Manager of the Bundian Way, Noel Whittem doing the honours, and offering thanks to the many different groups and agencies involved.

Afterwards he joined touring musician, Mikelangelo for a stirring rendition of his own original song entitled ‘Bundian Way’.

This was followed

by a performance of the Gulaga Dancers of Wallaga Lake, who delivered a number of enthralling dances including a Welcome Dance for the gathering.

At this point the group was then able to undertake guided tours of the Story Trail while many also chose to have their hand prints spray-painted on the walls of the new Performance Circle.

“What an amazing morning it was at the opening of the Bundian Way at Eden,” Delegate resident, Bronwyn

Wright said.

“A highlight of the opening was seeing the Gulaga dancers from Wallaga Lake.

It was great to see these young, confident dancers.”

SMCS holds annual Cross Country run BOMBALA COUNCIL GENERAL MANAGER: Ms Ngaire McCrindle

Over the last few weeks our Visitor Information Centre has received a number of complements on the town’s appearance and the facilities, particularly the Bombala River Walk. However visitors have commented on the fact that the main street has a problem with cigarette butts littering the footpath. While Council undertakes regular street and footpath cleaning it would be appreciated if smokers consider others and the image of our area by not littering.

Now that the weather has started to cool down residents are reminded that collecting of fire wood is prohibited on the following roads – Mt Darragh, Tantawanglo, Delegate, Bibbenluke/Cathcart and also along Snowy River Way. Firewood can be collected from the side of the road without the need of a permit on other roads within the Council area.

Firewood collectors are also reminded that they must not impede other road users, must respect property owners’ rights and should undertake collection in a safe manner.

The SMCS Cross Country was held on Friday April 1 The day started out cool and a bit foggy for the younger students but it warmed up nicely when the sun came out during the older student’s run.

Going on from the success of last year’s North Ridge run for the 14 to 16 year olds this year the 12 and 13 year olds joined them on the rugged track.

Students aged 6 to 11 years ran the 1km track layout for them at school.

Thank you to all the parents who came out in support and helped to marshall the course. Thanks too to the Physical Activity and Sports Studies girls for their help in marking out the track.

Awards and ribbons where given out in assembly last Monday morning. These students came first in their age race – 6yrs – Levi Wadland 7yrs – Matthew Markham and Elyssa Gould 8yrs- Micah Khan and Ella Barker 9yrs – Andrei Moruz and Bethany Gibson 10yrs – Hamish Shumack and Charlotte Gibson 11ys – Nicholas Moruz and Evi Baxter

SMCS public speaking competition Public speaking is often listed in the top five things that people fear.

At SMCS we believe that public speaking is a skill for life. If, as adults we can speak up for what we believe in, share our faith and advocate for what is right we can make a difference in our world. So in preparing our students for the ‘journey of life’ all our students from kindergarten to Year 10 prepare a speech based on a given topic. This year the topics included: Early Stage 1 and Stage 1 – If I were an animal I would be…

Stage 2 – People who changed the world.

Stage 3 – If I ruled the world…

Stage 4 – Character traits that make a hero Stage 5 – Speeches that changed the world.

Farhad Khan and Mrs Dani Wadland.

Our adjudicators for the primary were Dr Dawn Wiles, Miss Hymne Truter and Miss Jane Stewart. Aspects that were considered include manner, content and time. In the end there could only be one winner per age group. Congratulations to these students.

Students from both High School and Early Stage 1 – Levi Wadland Primary had written fantastic speeches Stage 1 – Elijah Hewitt and presented them to their class. The Stage 2 – Reuben Khan top four or five students were chosen Stage 3 – Nicholas Moruz to present their speeches to the whole Stage 4 – Alexis Shumack school at the annual SMCS Public Stage 5 – Amelia Wilson Speaking Competition. All the speeches were fantastic and Thank you to our adjudicators for your judging them was challenging for each of the three judges. Our deliberations and thank you students for adjudicators for the secondary having the courage to share with us your were Dr Charles Massey, Pastor ideas and opinions.

ANZAC Sculpture by Lisa Baier New hair do for cancer

Proudly exhibited at Cooma RSL Club, from 4 – 30 April 2016

In era of past conflict, unimaginable human sacrifice has been called upon to meet and overcome the challenges and demands of war. It is on reflection of these confrontations that I introduce you to a narrative sculpture art work that I have recently completed. The work itself is intended to remind us all of the tremendous fortitude, commitment and support provided by women domestically during these unsettling times.

This two piece statuette is titled “Domestic Front: Lest We Forget” and it represents the ANZAC women who ‘soldiered on’ at home in the face of wartime adversity (Indigenous, Maori and AngloSaxon). From a distance the woman appears to be of the highest ranking official but on closer observation, her uniform consists of domestic objects (e.g. helmet/colander; epaulets/sides of cheese grater; ammunition/wooden dolly pegs etc.) and pertinent reliefs (e.g. Indigenous meeting circle, Ta Moko, Kiwi bird, ANZAC sash etc).

Accompanying this heroically proud figure rests a symbolic coffin dedicated to those who lost their lives. Australian eucalypt leaves and an old fashioned paper cut-out of innocent children holding hands adorn the sides of the casket whilst the front and shoulders inscribe the ‘bay leafed’ title. In memorial, ANZAC poppies are respectfully and traditionally laid upon the coffin.

To complete this sculpture, I applied a copperrust glaze to depict military camouflage clothing and to portray an aged and weathered centurion object.

Norma Dietrich has dyed her hair brilliant red for the Leukaemia Foundation. Raising a total of $2,532.70 over the past month, Norma is pleased with the amount.

“I would like to thank everyone who donated, Jaggez for the colouring and I would like to congratulate those girls at St Patrick’s School and at Jindabyne Central School for taking part in the World’s Greatest Shave also.”

IT’S MARKET TIME AGAIN! The piece itself is meant to be circumnavigated as it is festooned with domestic symbolism.

I would like to thank Kade Morrell, Secretary Manager of Cooma RSL Club for his interest in exhibiting this commemorative piece of art and The Raglan Gallery for their generosity in providing a plinth for this display.

Anzac Day plans for Bombala

Anzac Day is quickly approaching, with both Dawn Services and Anzac Marches being observed throughout the region as our communities are encouraged to gather and mark the occasion.

In Bombala proceedings will begin with the traditional and moving Dawn Service at 6.15am, followed by a hot breakfast at the Bombala RSL Club for all of those who attend the early ceremony.

The community will then gather at the Bombala Cenotaph just prior to 11am for the central Commemoration, with the Anzac Day March being applauded by the crowd as it makes its way down the main street.

Here the Sub-Branch invites family members of passed servicemen and women to take part in the march, wearing their medals on the right hand side for the ceremony.

Leading the march will of course be our ex-servicemen themselves, along with Defence Force personnel, local groups such as the SES and fire brigade, school children and many others.

The public is also invited to lay wreaths during the Commemoration, which will

feature addresses, readings and prayers from various members of the community.

Anzac Day is always honoured as an important occasion in Bombala, and all are encouraged to join the local Commemorations on April 25 to pay their respects and perpetuate the treasured Anzac spirit.

Make a day of it…

Following these formal proceedings, the community is invited to move onto the Anzac Family Sports Day at the Bombala Exhibition Ground.

The afternoon again promises high spirited outdoor entertainment for all ages, with many kicking off their cheerful afternoon with a tasty barbecue lunch and kiosk refreshments.

The kids will be keen to get stuck straight into the action, however, with the many foot and bike races of the day attracting a big line-up of entrants keen to have a go.

If anything the novelty events will prove just as popular, with everyone from the littlies to the adults keen to share a laugh in the hilarious three-legged dash,

the sack races and the egg-andspoon.

There’s plenty of prizes to share throughout the events, and even the very young can take part in the fun treasure hunts that will take place through the afternoon.

When it comes to the big highlights of the sports day we have of course the famed Bukalong Mile, where teams of three cyclists will take on the oval in a relay-style race for glory.

A handicap system is in place to ensure all teams get a fair shot at the title, and the big race is followed avidly by the crowd, so get your teams together now and start training!

There’s also the obstacle course to tackle, with the Changi Challenge and Gallipoli Gallop seeing individuals and big teams of six taking on everything from a slippery slope, though to balance beams, a mattress mountain and tyre dashes.

Once again a variety of ages are encouraged to get in and have a go, whether they prefer to compete alone or as part of a team, so come prepared with your helmet, you bike and your running shoes, and get stuck in!

The Men’s Mountain Muster 4WD trip enjoyed by all Elle Mackintosh Engines warmed, food packed and lists checked, the men of the 2016 Mountain Muster poured into the gathered 4WD vehicles at Berridale, ready for their journey to Bradley’s hut.

Funded by the Commonwealth Home Support Program and organised by the Snowy River Shire Community Access Service, the biannual trip is always well received by the Men from Snowy River group.

This year 65 men and volunteers went along for the excursion, travelling from Berridale to Eucumbene Dam and onto Bradley’s Hut along Happy Jacks Road via Queen’s Lookout.

Over the last 15 or so years, previous trips have taken the men to Blue Water Holes, Tantangara and out to the Pinch River.

Always accompanied by a host of volunteers, members of the Rural Fire Service, the NSW Ambulance Service and Community Services, the day would not be possible without the hard work, the vehicles and driving skills of these people.

Once off on their journey last Tuesday, the party pulled up at Eucumbene Dam for a fine morning tea.

A delicious spread of cakes, biscuits and slices were handed around with cups of tea and coffee brewed with the help of a toasty fire.

Barry Aitchison spoke to the group, outlining the day ahead and where the convoy was headed.

Jumping back on the road, there was a couple of quick stop offs to allow some stragglers to catch up, a few photos to be taken and to open locked gates on the ordinarily closed road.

The scenery was spectacular, with many travellers having never been to that part of the mountains before.

Despite one flat tyre, everyone arrived safely at Bradley’s Hut where the fire was already lit, chairs set up and Monaro Meats snags and steaks ready to sizzle. After lunch, organiser Lee Taylor Friend thanked Barry Aitchison for being the backbone in supporting the Community Service in the organisation of the Mountain Muster. She also thanked the RFS volunteer drivers and the NSW Ambulance staff for accompanying the trip. NSW Ambulance’s Jack Nott was up next, encouraging the men to embrace the use of physical aids such as walking sticks to assist with their mobility.

He also talked the group through the importance of getting a prostate check and the process involved when calling 000.

Above, Paul and Jack of NSW Ambulance, Barry Aitchison and RFS’s Adolf Franco with their vehicles at Bradley’s Hut. Below, Stan Dingeldei and Paddy Kerrigan at Happy Jack’s Dam, behind them the spoils from the Eucumbene Dam Tunnel.

Mountain Muster Men Hans Zatschler, Garry Power, Bob Harris and Gary Phillips at Bradley’s Hut. Fred Nichols from the RFS was next, letting the men know that the RFS offers a service called the Aider Program, assisting the infirm, disabled and elderly with fire proofing their homes.

After lunch, it was back into the cars to retrace our steps to Queen’s Lookout. Smoke from some hazard reduction burns at Tolbar interrupted the view of Lake Eucumbene, however it was still a sight to behold.

Here the group was treated to a few stories from Paddy Kerrigan. Paddy was a worker on the Snowy Scheme from 1953. The Queen’s Lookout, he told the crew, was built 5,280ft, exactly one mile, above sea level. Although he could not say if the Queen had actually used the toilets that once sat at this lookout, he believed they were upgraded for her visit, just in case. He recalled a story of the Cabramurra Manager called McGee who welcomed the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh on their 1964 visit. Offering them a drink, the Duke requested water, to which McGee replied, “Oh I am sorry, but water is a scarce commodity in these parts so I am afraid you cannot have any.� Apparently the royal couple took the joke quite well.

Andrew Miller of the National Parks and Wildlife Service also gave a brief thanks to the Snowy River Community Services for their organisation and said he was always happy to accommodate the Mountain Muster.

The return trip offered just as beautiful scenery, with a view across the Snowy Plains. Barry Aitchison said that on a clear day, you can even see all the way to Sponner’s Inn. Pulling up in Berridale at 4.30pm, with chins well and truly wagged, another successful Mountain Muster comes to a close. The Men from Snowy River and volunteers alike will look forward to the next one, for more stories, jokes and exploring.

Seniors Week enjoyed in Bombala Special women’s workshops

The Seniors Week group of Bombala shared morning tea in the garden of Barbara and Chris Philbrick.

Seniors Week had the older folk of the Bombala district busy this year, with a number of activities being enjoyed to mark the occasion.

The fun started on March 30 with the screening of the ‘Young at Heart’ Film Festival, while everything from Housie sessions to a social afternoon at the RSL Club followed.

Of course the highlight of the Seniors Week activities was once again the excursions that were undertaken, with the traditional Forestry Trip seeing the seniors tour some local plantations to learn more about the operations of the NSW Forestry Corporation.

Rather than heading out of the area for its second excursion of the week, the seniors kept things local this year and visited the Philbrick’s garden near Sandy Crossing.

Here they shared in morning tea and wandered the grounds, talking to Barbara Philbrick about her vegetable gardening in particular, and meeting the Philbrick’s beautiful rescue dogs.

The Seniors Week activities concluded with the traditional combined church service at the Currawarna Hostel for the Aged last Sunday, with all ready for a rest following the whirlwind of activities.

Ladies of the region, get ready - we’re about to be treated to Self awareness, Healing and Empowerment (SHE) sessions from Cre8ting More.

Bombala’s Zoe Joseph is the driving force behind Cre8ting More and is eager to help other women bring more joy, peace, balance, fun, passion, support, excitement and love into their everyday lives.

Zoe, a ThetaHealer and Holistic Coach, says the SHE nights can help women who may be feeling lost, insecure or simply stuck in a rut. “After spending years working through my own “insecurity crap� and supporting hundreds of other women to do the same through my consultations and courses, the topics that I will cover will relate to the way we women think, act and react to certain situations in life, giving knowledge and tools to support them through everyday happenings,�

Zoe said. “In short the sessions will make you feel more “normal�, minus the insecurities, guilts and fears that we create for ourselves, which are in turn weighing us down. Most importantly I’ll give you some techniques for how to let that “crap� go.�

Zoe believes men and women are equal, but has reserved the session for women so the group can feel comfortable talking about “girly stuff� if needs be. “As they say, when women support each other incredible things happen,� she says.

Zoe is also very excited to announce that during each SHE night there will be an opportunity for participants to give back to others that are in need.

In this case, the event we will be supporting “Share the Dignity� which

is all about helping homeless women or women of little means through their period. “No woman should suffer the indignity of choosing between eating or buying sanitary items,� says Zoe, quoting the organisation. “If you happen to have a handbag or two laying around that you don’t need, pop some sanitary items in them and bring them along with you to this event, if you don’t have a handbag that you want to give away, that’s cool, you can just bring along some sanitary items. I’ll take them to a local drop off point. This is such a worthy cause and something so many of us take for granted.�

There’s no obligation to give of course, and although the regular charge is $10 per session, there’s even a gold coin honesty system to pay for the SHE nights themselves if you’re financially challenged!

So what are you waiting for? If you’re ready to start thinking more positively and stop self sabotaging, consider enjoying one of the following SHE nights in the region Cooma – Wednesday, April 20, Earth Song Wellness Centre, 95-97 Commissioner St. Merimbula – Thursday, April 21, 31 Merimbula Drive.

Bombala – Wednesday, April 27, Bombala Community Centre, 163 Maybe St. “The only thing I ask is that you come with an open mind, respect for others and a willing attitude to make positive change in not only yourself but the wider community,� Zoe said.

Each year we remove 30 tonnes of wet wipe products from our sewers. In some cases the wipes need to be manually removed by our staff before they cause overflows into customers’ homes or creeks. Wipes may clear your toilet bowl but they can combine with fats, oils and

other things that shouldn’t be flushed into big, congealed clumps – or ‘fatbergs’ – in the sewer.

This problem is having a huge impact to the operational cost of wastewater facilities nationally.

Meet our Fashionation designers Charly Thorn Set to hit the catwalk on 30 April, Community How did you get into designing?

Chest’s Fashionation is a fantastic event I have been designing and making clothes showcasing great pieces of fashion designed ever since I was a little girl and got my first by our very own. The Monaro Post spoke with sewing machine when I was five. local designer Charly Thorn.

What do you enjoy about it?

I enjoy the whole process of designing Where are you from? clothes. I love that whenever I design I am from Cooma, I have grown up and gone something, the original sketch is never the through school in Cooma! final product. A lot of my though process Is this your first year designing for comes through handling the fabric itself and Fashionation? constructing the garment. Ideas seem to pop This is my second year designing with into my head during the construction process Fashionation. however I’ve learnt that going with your gut is Why did you decide to be involved this the best way to stay true to yourself and your year? personal design style.

I decided to be involved this year because I What advice do you have for aspiring know an opportunity like this will benefit me as designers? a young designer. I gained a lot of experience My advice for aspiring designers is that you from my last collection with the community need to love what you do! It doesn’t pay you chest and can’t wait to do it again! first.

Charly is one of 10 local designers signed up for Fashionation, to be held at Gordon Litchfield Wool at the end of the month.

In the lead up to the event Community Chest is holding a very exciting raffle.

First prize is an incredible trip to Paris.

Premium Economy return flights and accommodation for two, plus two tickets to the International Woolmark Prize Final for February 2017, you cannot buy tickets for this event.

Second prize is an outfit designed and made by a local designer of your choice and includes the supply of material.

Third prize is a beautiful canvas photograph donated by Michael Scott Lees.

Any of these prizes would be great to pick up, especially at only $5 per ticket.

Grab yourself and your friends one at the Fabric Salon, Blaxland, Mawson and Rose and the Cooma Visitors Centre.

Birdsnest Where are you from?

The origins of the Birdsnest design team are varied with our birds coming from Melbourne to Junee, Jindabyne, Malaysia and Sydney. The common theme is that these birds have all been passionate about fashion and clothing since their childhoods.

Our design team consists of Peige Eber, Hannah Knight, Yen Jiam and Tahlia Nicholson who all work from our Cooma design studio and Emilie White who is Sydney-based.

Is this your first year designing for Fashionation?

This is our second year of Fashionation and we’re delighted to see that the Community Chest is hosting this event again. We love that this year is a celebration of wool and of our local wool industry.

Why did you decide to be involved this year?

We’re passionate about supporting our community and helping out where we can – it isn’t every day that a fashion event is on in town and as that is our game it is only natural that we wanted to play and be part of this.

How did you get into designing?

Birdsnest started designing three years ago when we identified a gap in the market for our customers.

We created that bird label, a collection that featured bold prints, bright colours in beautiful quality cottons and they loved it. This gave us the confidence to develop other labels and today we have five of our own bird brands: that bird label, boho bird, bird keepers including the new bird keepers by design, Belle bird and handpicked by birds.

What do you enjoy about it?

Everything! It is so satisfying taking something from concept right through and then seeing it on the rack. We all get that buzz when we see someone wearing, and loving, one of our labels.

What advice do you have for aspiring designers?

For us it is all about understanding our customers and market.

We try to get a feel for what she is looking

Rasa Mauragis Where are you from?

I grew up in Adelaide and moved with my family to Canberra in 1976. Finally in early 2011 we made Jindabyne our home.

Is this your first year designing for Fashionation?

Yes it is my first year designing for Fashionation and am very excited to be part of an event showcasing wool.

Why did you decide to be involved this year?

I got involved this year as a result of an invitation to participate in the event. I feel very excited and honoured to be included.

How did you get into designing?

I started as quilter who got into dyeing accidently and discovered that I have a passion for exploring ways to use colour on cloth and find it is very addictive. Since moving to the Snowy region I have been seduced by the magic of dyeing and

ecoprinting with the plants of the region.

I was dyeing so much that I had to think of what to do with what I was dyeing.

Some pieces were making their way into my fibre art but I was creating many more.

So I decided to start creating wearable art accessories and home décor items. I started creating individually hand crafted one of a kind scarves, wraps, ties and cushions that provide a sense of place and a beautiful piece of wearable art.

What do you enjoy about it?

I really enjoy the challenge of creating colour and pattern on natural fibres. I have explored ways of patterning cloth with procion dyes, indigo and am particularly entranced by what pigments are found in nature and how they are released.

I work in a serependitious manner and constantly challenge myself with “what if ”. I like working with the

unpredictability and the element of surprise of what nature will provide.

It is also challenging to see how different fibres eg silks, wool, cotton, bamboo respond to the same dye or plant. The collection I have prepared for Fashionation focuses on the plants growing in the region. I have used them as dyes and as ecoprints. I have interspersed the collection with a pieces created using the indigo vat. I apply time-honoured techniques of dying with plants and work in a sustainable and environmentally conscious manner.

What advice do you have for aspiring designers?

Don’t just dream the dream, go for it, work hard, listen, learn and never stop learning as you build it up a step at a time.

for and deliver this through our designs and fabrics. Fashion is constantly evolving and we always review what we are doing in line with customer feedback, global trends and how products perform each season.

The Birdsnest team join nine other local designers signed up for Fashionation, to be held at Gordon Litchfield Wool at the end of the month.

Outstanding languages educator award for Anna Anna Turner, teacher of German at Jindabyne Central School has been awarded the MLTA 2015 Award for Outstanding Languages Educator: Languages Program Leadership Certificate of Excellence and a cheque for $500 at the MLTA Annual Conference for Teachers on the 18th March 2016 in Sydney.

Anna Turner is an outstanding Languages Educator with a particular expertise in team teaching and coordinating.

The overwhelming amount of contributions to the high quality teaching and learning of the German language in the Snowy Region qualified Anna for an MLTA award.

Her effective and innovative teaching of the German language and culture, which model inclusive teaching practises, has generated beneficial outcomes for generations of learners, colleagues and schools in her region.

April 1, 1984 was the arrival date for Anna Turner at Jindabyne Public School, a few weeks prior to the School Centenary Celebrations.

Previously since 1967 she had taught at Dalgety, Cooma, Armidale Gunnedah, Newcastle, Sydney, Switzerland, Austria, England, Germany and America across all grades including High School Science, Maths, Sports and ESL for adults.

That year she successfully applied for a Multicultural Initiative grant to implement a LOTE program for the area in 1985-86, which involved teaching German at Jindabyne and Berrridale

Schools and continues to this day at Jindabyne Central School and various schools throughout the region.

The need to begin a Community Language Program arose from the schools recognising the needs of the community through its history of the Snowy Mountains Scheme and present occupation of its local people in the ski tourist industry.

Over the years various funding arrangements from the department allowed Anna’s position as a classroom and R.F.F. teacher to continue German within the school.

The community and local businesses over the years have been very generous with donations of books, music, costumes, participation in activity days with craft, cooking, dancing, festivals, immersion weekends for teachers, film making, resource development and their time to participate in lessons.

The Goethe Institute and MLTA have also funded the program with visiting performances, professional development and overseas scholarship programs for various staff in the area.

Language Continuity Programs were set up between all school in the area with professional development of staff, resource sharing, programs and activities.

During Anna’s time at J.C.S. as a Professional Development Facilitator and German Language Network Coordinator for the area, Anna produced many educational teaching and learning resources such as Language Continuity

Programs, teaching videos and films for the Department of Education, AI., ACT, ANU and Goethe Institute. The schools and communities in this area have experienced numerous activities and community days such as “The Winter Fayre” which highlighted their talents, interests and intercultural understanding.

Several Immersion Weekends for teachers organized by Anna as a network coordinator for the Snowy Mountains, ACT and contact for the South Coast Region Network, have proved beneficial for teachers and community members to learn more about the history of the region especially the Snowy Mountains, as well as incorporating various learning program for the area with shared resources among the schools Anna has been the driving force behind the LOTE program at Jindabyne Central School.

She has been responsible for resourcing including budgeting, designing teaching and learning programs for the full range of learners and promoting the program in the community.

She has provided students with the inspiration and motivation to continue learning languages in high school and further education. She has provided cultural days and contributed German items to school concerts.

Anna works collaboratively with a network of teachers in surrounding schools to raise the profile of

languages within the community.

She has made contributions to professional magazines as the author of articles.

In the past children of the region have benefited from learning another language by interacting with other schools, teachers, community members with visiting performances and many have developed their language talents in various fields of tertiary endeavor and professional fields.

Recently Anna organized the highly successful “Autobahn” days funded by the Goethe

Institute between the local schools which saw over 500 students participate. Several children from JCS were also successful in reaching the finals of the Goethe Institute film festival with their film “Freizeit weltweit”.

As a result of Anna’s contributions, the students of the Jindabyne Community have a better understanding of the birthplace of multicultural Australia. She has increased student knowledge and understanding of the histories, cultures, languages and experiences of German people and Germany. As a result we now have individuals who respect diversity.

Anna has made an impressive contribution to languages with professional leadership in her region and a sustained and very impressive contribution to language teaching over 30 years.

She has shown real persistence, creativity and commitment and is a role model of sustained professional development in herself and for others.

The award is given with particular reference to her sustained promotion of German language, for the benefit of all students and other teachers, Anna’s enthusiasm and energy for teaching and learning German needs to be celebrated because she has sustained them for more than three decades.

POST & RAIL

Wednesday April 13, 2016

the

postman calls

It never ceases to amaze The Postman how reckless some motorcyclists can be.

Over the weekend, a group of about 10 bikers were heading towards Adaminaby when the lead rider accelerated and overtook a vehicle.

Not an issue normally, but when the motorist had to brake to avoid the biker’s rear wheel, it became a potentially lethal situation.

The rest of the group showed more sense – but it does explain why the Snowy Hydro SouthCare chopper gets so many calls to pick up injured bikers.

Here’s a suggestion for CoomaMonaro Shire Council – when closing side streets, why not advise motorists BEFORE they get caught up in the works?

The recent work at Commissioner Street/ Vale street is a fine example. Anyone travelling down Bombala Street had no indication that Commissioner Street was closed at that intersection.

It made it interesting for at least one motorist towing a caravan with very little room to about-face.

Parking fees at saleyards Editor It has been bought to my attention that local transport operators have expressed concerns about the proposed new parking fee at the Cooma saleyards and I’m writing to you today to clarify some of those issues.

For background information, Cooma-Monaro Shire Council is currently proposing to spend approximately $600,000 to upgrade the current saleyard facility. This upgrade will include new multipurpose calf/sheep yards, new washout bays, new shower and toilet facilities, security facilities and improved effluent drainage, all run by a new saleyards manager. As you would appreciate Council has to consider all income streams to pay for this new upgrade.

Currently the saleyards have in place various fees and charges to cover the operation which operates very effectively. We have advertised the new truck parking fee to gauge the opinions of the users of the local saleyards facility and gain their input to increase charges to cover the upgrade. We have received mixed

Riposte Lisa Ashurst Cars can be complicated, can’t they!

I don’t mean driving them and when they are running normally, I mean when they develop a glitch in their system and sometimes it can be the simplest thing but simple or not, it means a car that won’t start and you’re not going anywhere and you have absolutely no freaking idea why.

Like my car about a week or so ago. I jumped in one morning, turned the key, the engine turned over as per normal and then…nothing. Huh? Okay, so try again! Nope, still turned over but still nothing after that. This appeared to be a complete shutdown which was soooo not good. So I did all the normal checks, like oil and water and connections and all those other things you check when the engine won’t fire but everything looked just fine. The only odd thing was the battery light would not come on, but that battery was way too young to die so it just had to be something else. Some sort of connection to the battery maybe…?

Whatever, by this stage I was beginning to have a few worst case scenario thoughts. I hate worst case scenario thoughts!

So anyway, it was at this point I called the NRMA and a very nice man showed up a couple of hours later and spotted the problem right away. It was the key. Well actually it was the car’s security system, which had decided

feedback to date, some operators are happy on the proposed fee, while some expressed concerns, hence my letter.

If Council resolves to progress with the upgrade, operators will have access to upgraded facilities, by way of secure, all-weather parking, and improved shower and toilet amenities that will be accessible 24 hours a day for approximately $20 per week. The fee was never intended to deter trucks from parking at the saleyards, it would only be potentially imposed to cover some of the costs of providing a better facility for the operators. If Council resolves not to proceed with the upgrade, the fee will not be imposed.

As Council will shortly be considering submissions made, I would like to personally invite you to give me a call or come and see me so that we can all gain a suitable outcome that leads to a better complex that services the whole region.

To schedule an appointment, please call 02 6455 1702 or call 0419 295 954. Yours sincerely Dean Lynch Mayor, Cooma-Monaro Shire Council. that the key was no longer The Key and so it was shutting itself down in a hissy fit because as far as the car was concerned I was a thief trying to start it with a strange key so I could nick off with it. It was kidding me, right? Well no, unfortunately it most definitely was not. Very, very weird stuff.

So how does a car that has been happily accepting the same key from day one come to a conclusion like that??? Well, if it’s a Citroen and one of its fuses goes on the blink, it’s electronics will go all thingy on you and one of those thingies will be “Yo! That ain’t my key!” The NRMA guy picked it up pretty much immediately because the Security Key light that should have blinked off with all the other dashboard lights, didn’t, and this apparently is universal car-speak for “my security system is having an issue and good luck with trying to sort that one out.” Ah, but we are talking an NRMA roadside assistant and those guys can sort just about anything and everything where cars are concerned. Even a French model with a misguided security system! And the fix/reset of system was so simple, it was almost embarrassing. I mean, if I was a car security system, I would be mortified that I could be sorted out as quickly and as easily as that! As the car’s owner though, I was thrilled to the moon and back because my car was my friend once more and I was mobile again. Wonderful feeling, that, but should it ever happen again, I’ll be prepped. I will have also learned to cuss in French.

Autumn is here!

Here we are now into the next season, which means the year is slowly passing us by once more. Summer is officially over, and winter looms closer.

So far this year, interest rates have remained stable, and while some Lenders increased their variable rates at the end of last year, there are some very low fixed rates available.

There has been some reduction of fixed rates, and now could be the time to consider locking your loan in to take advantage. Fixed loans won’t suit everyone’s circumstance, but I can help you determine if it is the best course for you.

Whether you want to review an existing loan,

Heather Anoleck

or looking at taking out a new loan, it can pay to look at the different options, and compare. I have access to the current rates & offers with many Lenders.

With flexible appointment times, and with access to many different Lenders, I can take the hard work & stress out of the process for you.

With a range of referral partners in place, I am also happy to be your first contact for other financial areas – i.e. business finance, or financial planning.

Whatever your financial needs, I can point you in the right direction.

The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), Southern Ranges Region is continuing its hazard reduction burning program this week, with planned operations in Kosciuszko National Park through to this weekend 9-10 April, 2016.

This follows a successful program last week with hazard reduction burning in Yanununbeyan State Conservation Area, Brindabella National Park, Bogandyera Nature Reserve and Kosciuszko National Park.

On Monday crews commenced burning Tolbar in Kosciuszko National Park, south of Canberra and at Indi South to the south of Khancoban in western Kosciuszko National Park.

NPWS Acting Regional Manager Southern Region, Frazer Muir, explained that these burns are in strategic areas targeted for treatment to help reduce the impact of bush fires in this area during the summer months.

“If favourable weather conditions continue crews will commence burning at Geehi Walls and, Reedy Creek in Kosciuszko National Park and Bulls Head in Brindabella National Park later this week,” Mr Muir said.

“We ask that members of the public avoid all of these areas during burning operations. There will

be some trails closed to the public while burning and patrols are underway.

“These burns are part of a 27 burn program scheduled by the NPWS Southern Ranges Region this autumn. We are aiming to treat approximately 32,000 hectares across our whole program if the weather conditions hold out,” Mr Muir said.

“The typical weather experienced in this area in autumn is ideal for our burning program because of the more stable atmospheric conditions and cooler moister evenings, which enable us to burn at much lower fire intensities than would be experienced in summer.”

Any closures of park areas are listed on the National Parks Alerts webpage.

These burns are part of the NSW Government’s $76 million package over six years to boost bushfire preparedness and double hazard reduction in the State’s national parks, where conditions allow.

For health information relating to smoke from bush fires and hazard reduction burning, visit the NSW Health website or the Asthma Foundation.

Tocal College celebrates 2016 graduates Recognition of hard work and achievement was last Friday awarded to 279 graduates of the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Tocal College, Paterson at the 2016 graduation ceremony.

DPI education director and Tocal College principal, Darren Bayley, said it was inspiring to see so many students graduate this year.

“Tocal students are highly sought after in agriculture and land management roles and the college continues to be a national primary industries training leader for those starting a career and industry players developing their skills and knowledge,” Mr Bayley said.

“We have seen the evidence in the number of graduates and the high participation rates in industry-based training and short courses delivered across NSW, with more than 2100 people enrolled in 2015.

“Our students are offered a comprehensive range of courses covering agriculture, land management and horse husbandry.

“And while the majority of graduates are from

NSW, interstate enrolment is growing.

“The college is a valuable strategic asset for NSW, given its unique service provision and reach, with staff located at seven locations across the state.

Mr Bayley said full-time students gained valuable working experience on the college’s own commercial farms and farms in the Hunter Valley, further afield in NSW and in Queensland.

“The college continues to encourage input from industry to ensure our programs meet emerging needs of agriculture and land management sectors,” he said.

“We provide online and flexible opportunities to meet the needs of busy adults and tailor training for rural and remote communities across NSW, wherever there is demand.”

Tocal College full-time residential programs are at capacity this year with 119 students.

Tocal’s special guest at the graduation ceremony was Grains Research and Development Corporation Northern Regional Panel chair, James Clarke.

Steers sell to $1360, heifers to $1140 at MLP annual calf sale

Students from Jindabyne Central Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agriculture class visited several farms around the region before attending the calf sale as part of an excursion.

Monaro Livestock & Property P/L held their sixth annual weaner/calf sale on Wednesday April 6, where 4200 head of weaners, from 75 different Monaro vendors were offered for sale.

Eighty-eight registered bidders from three states competed on the annual draft of Monaro bred weaners which presented in forward to fat condition with most pens showing plenty of bloom and were a credit to the vendors.

The average price for steers across the whole sale was $975 and heifers from start to finish averaged $855, with some vendors recording increases in both their steer and heifer averages by as much as $300 - $350 compared to the same sale last year.

Heavier drafts of spring drop steers sold between $1080 - $1230.

Medium drafts of spring drop steers selling from $950 - $1050.

Lighter, younger spring drop steer calves selling from $650 - $890.

Firewood collection permits for Bombala pine plantations Permits are now available for locals wanting to collect firewood from State forest pine plantations in and around Bombala.

Forestry Corporation of NSW’s Silviculture and Fire Coordinator for the Snowy Region, Jason Vincent, reminded people to arrange a permit online before collecting firewood from any State forest.

“With fire season ending and winter approaching, we have opened up some areas within the Bombala region pine plantations for people to collect fallen timber to use as firewood over the cold months ahead,” Mr Vincent said.

“You must have a permit to collect firewood from State forests, which you can arrange online for a small fee at forestrycorporation.com.au.

“Firewood is not always available from all areas, so if you have collected firewood from a local forest in the past you will not necessarily be able to collect firewood from the same location.

“Our online permit system

shows where you can collect firewood this season and when you arrange a permit you’ll receive a map indicating the collection area the permit is valid for.

“If you’re collecting firewood from a State forest, please remember that you can only collect fallen timber – the permits do not allow you to cut down any standing trees, even if they are dead. For your own safety, and to avoid a hefty fine, please stick to the rules.

“The forest environment is constantly changing so when you are collecting firewood, make sure you pay attention to any warning signs and notices and don’t enter closed areas.”

There are significant penalties for removing timber from a State forest without a permit and Forestry Corporation constantly monitors State forests using surveillance cameras and patrols.

For more information, or to arrange a firewood permit, visit www.forestrycorporation.com.au

Green Army and Landcare join forces at Bunyanvale

Lauren Van Dyke, Landcare, talking with Green Army Supervisor, Steve Huntley.

In just two days, six members of the Green Army and their supervisor Steve Huntley, managed to plant 800 trees on a long strip of land connecting the Bunyanvale hills to the west side of the Bunyan quarry reserve on Monaro Highway.

This reserve has a vigorous woodland of ribbon gums and snowgums, which is regarded by conservationists as a threatened plant community.

The Green Army is a federally funded project aiming to provide young people with work experience in conservation projects as well as technical and social skills that will enable them to succeed in the workforce. Steve Huntley has worked with the present crew over the last six months.

Landcare Tree Dieback project officer, Lauren Van Dyke was enthusiastic about the number of trees which the team managed to plant earlier this week.

Lauren’s work is to assist landholders to revegetate properties which have experienced the tree decline evident across the Monaro.

“The Upper Snowy Landcare Committee recognised the importance of this site. Due to dieback in the area, it is in need of revegetation and in this case this strip of land connects existing parcels of native woodlands. The committee donated $2600 towards the tree-guards for this and an adjoining plantation. This has greatly assisted the land holder with this project,” Lauren said.

“Late last year we collected seed from the healthy gum trees in the Bunyan area, and grew about 3000 seedlings from this seed for plantations such as this. In particular, we wanted to grow seedlings from only those ribbon gums which have withstood tree decline here. However this plantation also includes local snow gums, and candlebarks. It is so fabulous now to see the great job that the Green Army have done planting these 800 seedlings,” said Lauren.

Anyone interested in becoming involved in revegetation projects on the Monaro can contact Lauren.

52 storeys of fun as Andy Griffiths’ Cooma Rotary markets bestseller comes to life on stage

We come to The 52-Storey Treehouse on a very special day. It’s Andy’s birthday, but Terry has forgotten! To make matters worse Mr. Big Nose has mysteriously disappeared, and to top it off, Jill has fallen into a deep sleep and they just can’t wake her up. Andy and Terry set off on a crazy adventure tackling a world of startling obstacles including a hungry caterpillar, an angry vegetable kingdom and a 100 year ninja-snail epic voyage. Will they solve the mysteries and survive the dangers that test even their ingenuity?

This best-selling, award-winning series of books by much-loved duo Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton has inspired children across Australia to let their imaginations run wild; The 52-Storey Treehouse book was Australia’s fasting selling book ever on release!

Now the team behind the hit adaptations of The 13-Storey Treehouse and The 26-Storey Treehouse have come together one last time to bring The 52-Storey Treehouse to life on stage in Canberra following its Sydney Opera House premiere.

This time Andy and Terry’s world-famous everexpanding treehouse has 13 new storeys and

is filled with more fantastic inventions than ever: a rocket powered carrot launcher, the Disguiseo-matic 5000 and even a Ninja Snail Training Academy!

Audiences and critics alike love the show. Andy Griffiths himself is even more pleased “CDP have really surpassed themselves with this production”, he said. “I’m so thrilled—and amazed— to see the spirit of this ridiculous book so faithfully reproduced on stage. Five and a half (million) stars!”

Parent- teacher nights

On the evenings of Wednesday March 30 and Tuesday April 5, Parent–Teacher interviews were held in the library at Bombala High School. Both of these nights were very successful, providing a great opportunity for parents to meet with their children’s teachers and discuss their efforts so far this academic year.

More than 350 individual interviews were held across the two evenings.

Parents were also surveyed as they left the interviews and the responses were overwhelmingly positive. Some examples of the feedback from parents include: “Thought the whole process was really well organised. I was able to speak to speak to teachers I hadn’t booked in with. Was well taken care of and made to feel welcome from the moment I walked in. I was asked questions and had teachers approach me about my child. Thank you. Well done. Keep up the communication.”

”Very happy with the information and examples the teachers showed us. Staff were friendly, helpful and informative…. Well organised ladies and gents. Thanks heaps.”

Unfortunately, some teachers were not available on both nights for interviews – if you missed an opportunity to talk with one of your children’s teachers, feel free to ring the school and arrange an alternative time to have a chat about your child’s progress.

Parent - Teacher Evenings are an excellent opportunity to get to know your children’s local school and the teachers who work very closely with your children. The school would like to give many thanks to all those parents and guardians who took advantage of the opportunity to be involved in their children’s education. Hope to see you all – and more – at the next opportunity.

Middle School Day at Bombala High On Thursday April, 7 surrounding schools, Delegate, St Josephs and Bombala Public School year 5 & 6 students enjoyed a day at the Bombala High School for middle school day.

The day offered a sense of a whole school community with students and parents given the opportunity to become more involved in the High School environment. Students developed an understanding of the way they learn and were able to create a personal learning plan to prepare for their secondary studies through a number of activities and workshops on the day. Thank you to the organisers of the day and to the surrounding schools for attending.

It was a very successful Day with lots of learning and laughing.

Thank you to all our community of schools for their support and all of the staff involved.

A big thank you to our catering crew who worked very hard all day; Bree Brownlie, Nicolah Tellis, Karter Hampshire, Mackenzie Phillips, Brianna Hepburn and Tayla Ventry.

We look forward to the next day at the end of term 2.

Donna Shelley Careers Advisor My favourite part of

the middle school day was the Rock, paper, scissors activity.

When we versed someone else and lost they had to become part of our fan club and follow us and cheer us on in our other matches. All the other students were really nice and inviting, it was a fun day.

Jayda Ford Bombala Public School I really enjoyed sport with Mrs Sullivan. We played crocodile, crocodile and lots of other games. One game we had to race to different items/signs around the hall when Mrs Sullivan said them. We also did a lesson in the classroom where we found out information about ourselves from other students that we didn’t know. This was to see how your friends see you. The food was really yum and they even

served it to us.

Zara Badewitz Bombala Public School One of our favourite parts was working in the Lab. We liked playing sport with all the different kids from the other schools.

It was fun moving around the school for activities and classes’.

James Tellis, Alex Reed and Issy Yelds St Joseph’s Bombala Delegate Public School Students: Bowen Farran: I liked the House Spirit Quiz because there were some things I knew.

Jaidyn Clear: I liked it because I played footy.

Brigid Dunn: I liked the PE games and the resilience session.

Tigers division two men defeat Belconnen 6-1

Cooma enjoyed a 6-1 win in their first home game on Saturday.

Cooma Tigers welcomed Belconnen to Nijong Oval on Saturday for their first home game of the season.

Both sides were coming off first round wins but it was the Tigers who immediately took control of this match with the local lads clearly wanting to put in a big performance in front of a boisterous home crowd.

Kevin Smith looked dangerous every time he touched the ball and it was he who opened the scoring on 15 minutes with a spectacular shot from outside the 18 yard box that caught the keeper off his line and flew into the far corner. The score didn’t stay at 1-0 for long with Cam Mackintosh adding two goals in the space

Iain Elliott on the attack for Cooma Tigers.

of five minutes after being put through first

by Oscar Schoon and second by Gerard Rampal.

Jake Schoon was unlucky not to find the back of the net with a couple of thumping shots only saved by last ditch blocks and when the big centre forward was upended in the penalty area following some superb dribbling from Matt Bruce, the referee had no hesitation pointing to the spot.

Crowd favourite Serdan Bircan showed all his experience to send the keeper the wrong way and calmly slot the penalty into the bottom corner to make the score 4-0.

Belconnen threatened sporadically on the counter attack, and Alex Bruce made two outstanding saves on the stroke of halftime

to keep the visitors scoreless going into the break.

Cooma were guilty of a little bit of complacency in the second half with the Belconnen midfield allowed to get on the ball and create a couple of chances. Some staunch defending from Roman Bogatek and another fine save from Bruce kept the visitors at bay but in the 65th minute the pressure finally told and the Canberrans pegged a goal back when a loose ball in the box was poked home.

This sparked Cooma into life and when a Belconnen defender sold his keeper short with an underhit backpass, Iain Elliott took full advantage to roll the ball into the open net and re-establish the four goal lead.

The Tigers weren’t finished there and the goal of the game came when Laurence Redmond played an exquisite chipped through ball to man of the match Mackintosh who effortlessly lobbed the onrushing goal keeper to complete his hat-trick and send the clubhouse end into raptures.

The final result read 6-1 to Cooma who remain top of the table with two wins from two and +8 goal difference. Football fans have another opportunity to see the Tigers in action this Saturday at 1pm when ADFA will be the guests at Nijong Oval with local pundits already predicting another goal fest.

Walk in the park for Lady Tigers with 11-1 defeat of Vikings It was a quiet game on Sunday for the Tigers women’s keeper Sam De Ruijter who only got to touch the ball three times in 80 minutes in the Tigers impressive 11-0 win over the ADFA Vikings.

The game began strong with Raen Breademanne and Miruna Moruz both taking two impressive shots at the Vikings keeper within the first five minutes.

All the momentum was in the Tigers favour and a great ball from Hymne Truter to the feet of Camilla McDonald allowed her to shoot and get the Tigers a point on the board giving them the lead 1-0.

The Vikings didn’t get past half way until 20 minutes into the game as the Tigers dominated in attack.

Miruna Moruz was particularly

making it difficult for the Vikings defence with her quick footwork and excellent ball control allowing her to put the ball in the back of the net with ease off a throw in, taking the Tigers to 2-0.

Straight from the kick off a ball from Tina Baker in the centre gave another chance for Raen Brademanne to have a shot, a beautifully placed ball in the bottom corner was all she needed to get more points for the Tigers and extend their lead to 3-0.

A chance arose for the Vikings with a penalty just inside their half but it was picked up with ease by keeper Sam DeRujiter. A great kick from Sam allowed Miruna Moruz to make another run up the wing, again, all on her own she scored with a shot just inside the 18 yard box. 4-0.

It was obvious the Vikings defence was growing weary when a small gap allowed Miruna Moruz to make another run up the wing and with no defender chasing the goal was hers, for her third goal of the half giving the Tigers a great 5-0 lead.

The Tigers intercepted the Vikings kick off and a ball from Kerry Baines perfectly kicked up the line to Rachel Dorward allowed her to get the ball up to the corner and cross it in.

It was taken well by the Vikings keeper but she tripped and Hymne Truter was there to clean it up and tap it in the goal right on the whistle. The Tigers went into half time 6-0 up.

The second half started much like the first with the Tigers strong in attack.

Raen Brademanne and Miruna Moruz made great timed runs up the middle and a well timed ball from Hymne Truter was taken simply by Miruna moruz who turned and shot, getting another goal to set the Tigers up for a white wash of the ADFA Vikings at 7-0.

With how well the Tigers were playing you wouldn’t have noticed they only had one sub for the day.

The defence was strong and the attack was stronger.

A ball up the centre of the field from Camilla McDonald found the feet of Tamara Lloyd who found a space and took a great shot adding to the Tigers tally 8-0.

Miruna Moruz was a menace to the Vikings defence. Every time she touched the ball she was off and hard to catch and it was

unbelievable when Miruna took another perfect shot bagging her fifth goal for the day to take the score to 9-0.

Next to score was Tina Baker when a great ball from Rachel Dorward allowed her to run into empty space getting her a great goal, taking the Tigers to a 10-0 lead.

With only ten minutes left to go a deflated Vikings side seemed to have given up and another great run by Tina Baker through a gap gave her plenty of room to take a clear and calm shot at goal, it was a great shot in the top corner and it brought the game to an end with an amazing 11-0 result.

Next week the Tigers are at the Nijong Oval and take on Tuggeranong at 10am.

Busy week for netballers Alford qualifies for Rio Olympics

Bombala Netball has just concluded a busy week.

On Tuesday, April 5 the group held its Twilight Comp Grand Final, with an end of season barbecue to help celebrate another very successful season.

A big thank you to everyone who helped out in any way throughout the season.

We hope to see you all again next season, which will start during Term 4, 2016. Look out for it!

On Sunday four teams, Opens, Juniors and two Net-Set-Go teams

went down to the Annual Merimbula Carnival.

It was a hot day and everyone played extremely well despite having few subs, and considering the fact that some of the girls were playing in their very first games.

The Opens performed very credibly, finishing runners up on the day.

Thank you to all involved particularly the players, and their parents for taking them and the support that you gave all our teams both on Sunday and throughout the entire season.

Warm and windy conditions made bowling tricky for the 19 who all turned up for the new starting time of 12.30pm.

Max Butler and Bob Lahy had a 15/1 lead over Bob Douglass and Ron Gammon and it looked all over. Bob and Ron had other ideas and by end 20 the scores were 20/20. Max and Bob scored the necessary one shot for victory. Peter Harris played swinging lead for Ron Wainwright and Denis Steinfort and for Mick Mayhew and Geoff Venables with Mick and Geoff sailing along at 10/4 when the wheels seemed to have fallen off for Peter, Ron and Denis to forge ahead and win 19/12.

Mary Boller, Mario Frezza and Paul Cannell started well against Max Povey, Ken Rees and Kevin Jackson but could not maintain their form and were 10/10 on end eleven. They were kept on ten for five ends and eventually went down 13/21. Skip Hamilton and Roulie Steinfort had an “anyones” game for 13 ends against Mike Mannile and Renate Winckel but came home strongly to win 23/17.

On Saturday the semi-finals of the major singles were played with Ross Russell against Daniel Clough with Tony Gray marker and Steve Seears against Mark Buckley with John Vincent as marker. Daniel started well against Ross and quickly went out to lead 14/4 on 10, helped by three shots on each of ends one and 10.

Although Ross won ends 18 to 23, Daniel came home strongly to win 31/14 on end 27. Mark Buckley was soon into his stride against Steve Seears in winning eight of the first 10 ends and leading 13/5. Steve then played consistent bowls and with Mark leading by just 19/18 on 22 it was “game on”.

Four shots to mark on t27 proved the turning point with Mark going on to win 31/25. Seven of the last eight ends were decided by just one shot. The final between Mark and Daniel will be played 1pm Saturday April 16. It should be a cracker.

Those who were not watching the semi-finals enjoyed three rinks of triples with the weather and great company being the major contributor to the enjoyment.

Mario Frezza, Bob Douglass and Geoff Venables were right on target from the start against Mike Mannile, Renate Winckel and Richard Nichols to lead 25/7 after 13 ends.

Richard’s team won six of the remaining ends played but Geoff and Co had the last laugh 29/18.

Mary Phillips, Roulie Steinfort and Giulio D’Amico were overwhelmed for the first eight ends against Maureen D’Amico, Margherita Zasso and Denis Steinfort to trail 2/19. Five shots on 11 helped but not enough as Maureen, Margherita and Denis prevailed 28/14. Keith Goodwin, Sergio Roncelli and Leonie Snell scored nine shots over ends seven, eight and nine to give them a 13/6 lead over Ken Rees, Ron Gammon and Paul Cannell, who were kept on six for four ends and then on eight for six ends. Keith, Sergio and Leonie went on to win 22/12.

Four matches in District Mixed Pairs on Sunday.

In the morning match Olga Jebbink and Mike Mannile defeated Bridget Corby and Henry Jackson 27/13 to move to the next round where they played Del and David Turner in the afternoon and had another win to put them in to the semi-final.

M Coombe and J Cummins defeated John Barnes and Lyn McMahon 29/11. Jake and Nicole Barnes defeated Rae Blyton and Leon Weston 23/12 whilst D and R Russell received a forfeit. The semi finals will be played at 9.30am Saturday with M Coombe/J Cummins v O Jebbink /M Mannile and Jake and Nicole Barnes v D & R Russell with final in the afternoon.

Ten players for social bowls on Sunday. Skip Hamilton and Ron Wainwright had an up and down match with Renate Winckel and Peter Marsicano which went to Skip and Ron 19/16. Keith Goodwin, Brian Searl and Tony Gray held on to win 22/16 against Ken Rees, Sandi Litchfield Dale Collins.

Red Devils unlucky in three-point loss to Easts After a thumping 71-17 victory over Gungahlin in Round 1 Cooma travelled to Griffith to take on Easts.

From the start the Red Devils dominated possession and field position and looked the more aggressive team. After eight minutes, during which time Cooma was camped in Easts’ 22, Chris de Rooy ran strongly at the line and gave a superb short pass to Ryan Morgan who tore through the defence to post the first try.

Ryan’s conversion attempt was unsuccessful and Cooma led 5-0. From that moment Easts seemed to regain their composure especially after calling for uncontested scrums.

Cooma’s pack steamrolled their opponents in the first scrum and that was the end of the contests.

With the game flowing from end to end, Easts managed to score a try in the corner thanks to a giant winger who got the better of Cooma’s tacklers. The try was converted and Easts took a 7-5 lead into half time.

In the second half Cooma was able to nullify Easts’ wide running big men with much more determined tackling. Centres Grigor Wallace and Darcy Larritt with fullback Matt Cusbert stopped several raids. As the game turned into an arm wrestle Leighton Bates ran on to a pass 10 metres from Easts’ try line and despite the attention of four tacklers managed to force his way under the posts for an amazing try.

Ryan Morgan converted and Cooma led 12-7.

But Easts were not going to capitulate the way Gungahlin did and managed to score another try.

The conversion was unsuccessful and the scores were locked up at 12-all. Ryan Morgan kicked a penalty goal to give Cooma the lead 15-12 with less than 10 minutes to play. Unfortunately Easts seemed to find something extra and scored the winning try with only three minutes left on the clock.

Final score Cooma 15 Easts 19. Josh Fraser received 3 well deserved points for an outstanding performance, Darcy Larritt 2 points and Pat Egan 1 point. Players’ Player honours were shared by Leighton Bates and Darcy Larritt.

SECOND GRADE Cooma took on RMC and from the outset it was going to be a tough match.

Unable to field two teams this year, RMC plays as Easts’ fourth grade team.

However RMC’s team is basically last year’s First 15 with the addition of some First 15 players from ADFA. Not surprisingly RMC dominated possession throughout the game with Cooma rarely having the ball in hand.

However the Red Devils were incredibly tough and conceded only three tries in the first half to trail 21-nil at half time. Other teams might have hung their heads and gone through the motions in the second half but not these guys.

Led by captain Adam Schubert, Cooma never gave up and despite some curious refereeing decisions battled away bravely for the whole game. New fly half Kalhem Jones might not have seen much ball but his defence was remarkable.

He and Adam Schubert seemed to appear every time RMC made a break.

Mitchell Doyle at fullback was outstanding denying RMC time and again with bone crunching defence.

The outside backs, Matt Crowley, Will

Moore, James Thompson and Corey Stockton continually shut down their bigger and more experienced opponents.

The forwards were strengthened by the return to rugby of Tom Moxon and Luke van der Plaat along with Andrew Rolfe playing his first game of the year. Dom Giagios played the whole game at hooker

and front row and tried hard to get some forward momentum.

Azzam Hudson continues to impress at the senior level.

Flankers James Moore and Vinnie Newton tackled all day.

In the end RMC was able to score another three tries to

win the match 38-0. Points went to Azzam Hudson 3, Adam Schubert 2 and Kalhem Jones 1. Adam edged out Mitchell Doyle and Azzam Hudson for Players’ Player.

Bombala Heelers take on Moruya Sharks On Sunday April 10 all three Bombala Heeler grades made the trek up the coast to take on the Moruya Sharks in round two of the group 16 Rugby League competition.

Ladies League Tag kicked off at noon with some players taking the paddock for the Bombala High Heelers for the first time. The match up against the two sides was very even in the first 10 minutes with completed sets and field position kicks taken by both sides.

The defence was tight from both teams. It took until the 12th minute for Tash Stewart to scoop up a loose ball and run the full length of the field to put first points on the board.

This lifted the High Heelers spirits and opened the door for the rest of the game. Great running from Chloe Murphy and Georgie Clarke gave the High Heelers prime field position. Defence by Jessie Adams, Trina Brownlie and Kristy Nichols was fierce some.

With another 10 minutes of back and forth, it was the Captain showing the way with a classy try to Patrice Clear.

Continued efforts by Abbey Kimber and Monique Ingram with setting up structured moves, the girls were looking comfortable on the field.

Accolades go to the kicking prowess of Kayley Keavey and Keiarna Rodwell for gaining optimal field position going into half time. Captain, Patrice Clear was pivotal in organising Keiarna Rodwell in for a try after five minutes in the second half.

Emma Sullivan, Makalya Standen and Sue Morgan continued to get the High Heelers on the front foot, making some great hit ups down the field. Tanika Hampshire, Rosie Gillespie-Jones and Katie Piesley kept up the constructive talk in the middle, while Jane Peadon, Janine Jamieson and Amy Stone made strong runs in the line.

With great hands on the left side, Tash Stewart was again too quick for the Moruya defence and scored out wide. Kristy Nichols stepped up the talk in defence and once back in possession of the ball, Kayley Keavey ran through the middle of the defence to score next to the posts.

Kayley then converted her own try to round out the game at a convincing 22-0 win to the High Heelers. Players player went to try scoring double Tash Stewart, 3 points to the fierce some leader Patrice Clear, 2 points to tough defender Georgie Clarke and 1 point to elusive attacker Abbey Kimber.

Reserves Reserve Grade had a tough hit out next up on the program. Early points were scored by Moruya putting the Blue Heelers behind from the beginning.

Defence was the main point for the Heelers to focus on, Richard Stewart, Pat Gaudie and Bailey Jones putting their bodies on the line.

Strong attacking sets by Clay Stewart, Mick Sullivan and Kurt Lomas had the Heelers running hard and palming defenders with ease. Half time saw the score in Moruya’s favour at 26-0. The Heelers stood strong early in the second half, try saving tackles from Alex Rosten and Bailey Jones held the Sharks at bay.

Some miscommunication in defence shortly after gave the Sharks a try out wide. It wasn’t until the 20th minute of the second half that the Heelers really tested the line defence of the sharks and Joel Cherry busted over the try line for the first points for the Heelers of the game. Passionate Bombala supporters offered plenty of advice from the sideline.

Speed and strength saw the Moruya sharks score another 2 tries before the fulltime hooter finishing the score at 36-4. 3 points went to Paul Gimbert, 2 points to Joel Cherry and 1 point to Warren Martin.

Firsts First Grade kicked off at 2.30pm with again the Moruya Sharks gaining early points on the Heelers.

With four tries scored by the Sharks, the Blue Heelers had a tough task ahead of them. A lengthy kick off by Paul Perkins set up some great field position for the Heelers.

It was then the fantastic combination of Nic Rosten and Jo Bobbin that got the Heelers on the board. Bobbin’s try was converted by Andrew Guthrie to get the score to 22-6. Moruya found the line again before being met with a well planned and executed Heelers move on the line with Tyler Jones at half, to get Brett ‘the powerhouse’ Hodak a try just to the right of the posts. Guthrie again converted the try to push the score to 28-12.

Continued strong performances by Nic Rosten and Luke Ingram in defence, had the sharks in two minds. Malcolm Stone made a dominating tackle on a runaway winger to save a try, although the Sharks managed to put another player over the line. Half time score was 34-12.

With a big chase on the hands of the Heelers, the boys came out fired up.

A good ball pick up by Murray Jackson and great kick-chase by Tyler Jones gave the boys some good field position. However lapses in defence let the Sharks in again. A huge effort from ‘pocket rocket’ Daniel Douch got the Heelers a handy penalty in their defensive end.

The Sharks continued with a strong campaign and the Group 16 reigning champs managed to run out the score to 60-12 against a persistent Blue Heelers outfit. Players player and 3 points for the Heelers went to Malcolm Stone with his solid work ethic, 2 points to hard working Chris Anderson and 1 point to ‘the powerhouse’ Brett Hodak.

Another physical week of training for all three teams is in store before next Saturday’s games to be played against Merimbula/Pambula and Candelo/ Bemboka at Bemboka. A big thank you must go to the League-safe runners and sports trainers for looking after the players on and off the field on Sunday.

The Bombala District RLFC would also like to thank all the supporters who made the journey up to Moruya to support the three Bombala teams and the ongoing support from the Bombala RSL club is duly noted. The club encourages everyone to make the trip to Bemboka on Saturday where the ladies will play two games and both Reserve Grade and First grade will hit out again.

Bombala junior rugby league competes at Pambula This week saw us travelling to Pambula for the first around of the competition.

Due the start of school holidays we were down a few players in each team U7s had three players Joey Sullivan, Aston Hurley and Coby Bruce, so to give them a run Pambula was kind enough to lend us players.

The under 8s travelled down the mountain to play a well organised Meri/Pam side. With a few kids missing from our normal side and lacking a few game fundamentals Bombala let in a few easy tries to Mer/Pam. There are a few new faces in the team this year. Tanner Hurley made some great tackles and run-ups all game. Ruby Smith, Freddy Merritt and Gracie Brownlie showed experience from last year with good tackles

and hit ups all game. The player that stood out the most and Milo player of the match was another first time player Ari Sten who had some great hit ups and some outstanding defence and has cemented a great future in rugby league.

U9s have a full team with reserves. The team has more new players who will all take time to work together but they started the game strongly, with the girls Heidi Brownlie, Bridie Hampshire and Brylie Stewart making some good runs and excellent tackles.

Wyatt Jones, Tait McIntosh, Tom Mardsen, Alex Peisley, Xander Paynter, Blake Skellern, Finn Sullivan and Ollie Stephen also played well. Milo player of the match was Tait McIntosh with a great first game with some excellent tackles and great runs.

U12s played very well together. They didn’t win, but showed courage and pride. We only had nine players, but the boys and girls gave it their all. All players were fantastic on the field, but Lachlan Simpson given 3 points, Beau Brownlie 2 and Stephanie Richardson 1 Girls League tag played a great game. They showed they are going to be a great side once they get a few games. They are strong in their defence and even stronger in their attack with the girls scoring the first try of the game. Mer/Pam got over them in the end, but the girls now know what they need to work on.

U14s Would also like to thank all the sponsors that are on board with us this year

Stallions first win for the season, defeating Pambula at home

Above: Under 18’s Jake Hedger.

Nick Chapman The Cooma Stallions first grade team posted their first win of the season defeating Pambula 26-6 at the Cooma Showground.

Jimmy Boller opened the scoring for the Stallions after continuous pressure and solid defence allowed the home team to take control of the game.

Stallions coach Todd Williams said he was impressed with the way his team started and noted there was many improvements on last weekend’s 16-22 loss to Narooma.

“It was a complete turn around from last week. There was more talk and enthusiasm and improved ball control.

“The first 20 was really good, we were punching through the middle and running in pairs and our attack was really good out wide with improved timing.”

Running in pairs and supporting the ball runner has been a focus at training and this paid off when Boller backed up a run from Williams and received an offload from five metres out to

Reserve Grade’s Mill Issa.

post his second try for the afternoon.

Williams said continuous pressure in the back end of the first half allowed the Stallions to take control of the game and ultimately led to their victory.

“The middle 25-35 was what won us the game, we really dominated. We were winning around the ruck and out enthusing them,” he said.

The Stallions went in to half time holding a 20-6 lead, but dropped off in the second half.

The completion rate for the second half was at just over 50 percent but Williams credited his team for their brilliant defence.

“I’m very happy with the defence. We went away from our structure and game plan and gave them the opportunity to get back in to the game but our defence held on,” he said.

Kyle High had another stand out game, and the return of his brother Luke boosted the Stallions defensive line.

Adam Walters also earnt a mention in his first game for the

season and Timmy Knight had some good strong runs in his Stallions debut.

Williams commended the performance of Austin Riley in his first grade debut and reiterated the fact that there is a number of players pushing for selection.

This weekend the Stallions will be travelling to Eden in what promises to be a difficult hit out for their first away game for the year.

Training will focus on maintaining pressure and discipline for the whole 80 minutes and Williams is confident in what his young team can do.

“There’s still a couple of weeks for the boys to gel, this is a fresh side.

“I’m really confident in what we can achieve this year,” he said.

In other matches Cooma Reserve Grade defeated CandeloBemboka 30-24 and the U/18s lost to Merimbula-Pambula 56-6.

Stingrays enjoy first match

The young and improving Cooma Fillies lost game two of the season, 50 to nil to the highly fancied Pambula – Merimbula Hot Doggies. The score does not reflect the improved display from the inexperienced fillies. Best for the Fillies were Jess Povey gaining the 3 points, Katelyn Patricks and the returning Erin Donnelly each receiving 2 points and 1 point going to Mollie Adams.

After supporting the under 18’s the Fillies backed up against the

ladies from Candelo – Bemboka.

In a highly competitive match that ended 26 to 4 to the visitors.

The young Fillies scored their first points of the season, through a wonderful try to Kaesi Baker and much to the delight of the home crowd. This match was a lot closer than the score line reflected and the young team was delighted to be competitive and are looking forward to this rematch as the season progresses.

Everyone should be proud of their efforts and continued

improvement, best on ground for the Fillies was Olivia Barron who was awarded 3 points, try scorer Kaesi Baker received 2 points and Erin Donnelly received 1 point.

This Sunday the Fillies face the challenge of playing their first away game of the season against the Eden Tigers, with kick off planned for 12 noon at George Brown Memorial Oval, Eden.

The ladies would like to thank all those who turned out to support them on the weekend.

Stingrays representative players Lachlan Inskip, Bill Zammit, Liam Rankin (under 16’s) and Jake Hedger (under 18’s) had their first game in Batemans Bay on Saturday April 9.

Both age groups played against Redback (Illawarra division), under 16’s taking a great win of 30 points to 8 points and the under 18’s were unlucky losing 23 points to 22 points.

All the boys put in a great effort in their game.

Piglets at rugby gala day

The Jindabyne Piglets Under 10s, 11s, and 12s travelled to Gowrie to play in the Vikings Rugby Gala day over the weekend.

For many it was their first ever game of rugby. The under 10s enjoyed their first game of the season, showing some good form in their games. The standouts were Riley Duggan and Rennie Falconer.

Under 11s played four games and enjoyed getting their first win of the season. The team played well together with some good running rugby. Standouts were Thomas Old and McKenzie McAteer Mason who did a lot of running in attack and Mac Livissianos who was great in defence.

The Under 12s played really well together and played some impressive rugby and look good for the upcoming season. Standouts were Angus Falconer and Jackson Connelly.

A special mention to U12s who all played out of their skin with the forwards providing a dominant base and the backs opening up with fantastic skills and defence. After such a fantastic day, the teams all celebrated on the way home on the bus. Another special thanks to the coaches and bus drivers.

With the season due to start in a couple of weeks the Piglets are still keen to take on girls and boys across U10â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-U12â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re keen give Paula a call on 0477 416 218.

The Vikings Gala day also saw the U14 and U16 Girls take to the field. The girls did really well against the more physical Vikings team.

Kirra Burke, Amy Thrum, Kaya and Tamika Millard all scored some fabulous tries throughout the day.

The day ended up with the girls winning two games and having a draw for one game.

Bushpigs lose to Taralga Saturday saw the Bushpigs return home for the first home game of the 2016 season.

Up against early season premiership favourites Taralga, the new look Pigs took the field with a full squad after round one saw them field only 13 players. The game started out a very physical affair with the Bushpigs forwards holding the Taralga pack, leaving them no option but to attack the left hand defence out wide, scoring two tries early through their pacey outside backs.

The Bushpigs forwards again dominated, led

by Steve Rompanan and Izzac Maw to press the Taralga line and new halfback Matt Want slipped in under the posts for a sneaky try. Taralga went wide again and found space and went to the halftime break with three unconverted tries leading 15-7.

Again the Tigers found no joy up the middle with Ian Vagg leading the big guys in some brutal defence and the Tigers had to go wide to the pacemen to collect their fourth try. With the loss of Ian Vagg in the second half with a severe face laceration, the lineout found it tough going but the forwards continued to go forward and with Connor Duncombe directing attack, fullback Robbie Morris went in under the posts for a clever try and again closed the gap.

Taralga found space out wide and ran in two more tries and Adrian Butter scored a spectacular individual try for a final score of 4121. The new look Pigs have a great platform to build on going forward. Coach Matty Caldwell, while disappointed in the loss, saw plenty to be positive about from the performance and is excited for the future of the young side. Points this week went to, 1- Tallow Baillie. 2- Brad Saunders. 3- Adrian Butters Next weekend the Pigs are again at home to the Crookwell Dogs and will play at 14.30 The Bushpigs would like to thank their jersey sponsors for 2016: 1.

Local racer Chris Anthony took out a first place, two seconds and a fastest lap at the Australian Formula 3 Premier Series 2016 in Melbourne on April 3.

Chris said he would not be able to go to these events and follow his dream without the support of the community behind him.

Mark and Lucinda George are the owners of Subway in Cooma and are one of Chris’s biggest supporters.

“I would come in and get my pizza subs and they would come into Betta Home Living and were always really friendly, so that’s how we got to know each other,” said Chris, “Then one day they hit me up. It was really random and really nice and it’s great to have their support.”

There are many expenses involved in following his racing dream, so Chris is very grateful to Mark and Lucinda who are hosting a fundraiser for him.

On April 30, Subway will have a go -cart on the floor that kids can jump in and have their photo taken with Chris.

“Go-carting was how I got started,” said Chris, “I think it’s important to show kids that anything is possible and if you want to follow your dream you can. Especially when you have a great community behind you.”

All profits from the day will be donated to Chris and his racing career.

“My philosophy is that if the community doesn’t support our kids, then who will?” says Mark, “Chris has a dream that he is very passionate about and we are more than happy to help him out.”

So come along to Subway on April 30 to have a bite to eat, meet Chris and check out the go-cart on display.
