Bombala mayor Bob Stewart was a vey happy man last Friday, when the $74 million Donhwga timber mill was officially opened in Bombala. Cr Stewart said the day marked the culmination of many years of hard works and he paid tribute to the company for making the investment in his shire.

Cooma Hospital Staff, Denise Greene, Pam Hodge and Penny Larritt were very grateful for the donations from the Hospital Auxiliary ladies. Sometimes it’s the small things that not many people think about that make the greatest difference. This is definitely the case for the two trolleys, patient bedside tables and digital weigh chair that were recently donated by the Cooma Hospital Auxiliary to Cooma Hospital. The two trolleys worth $1800 each will make a huge difference for the physiotherapy staff that work with patients in the hydrotherapy pool. Previously all equipment used in the pool had nowhere to be stored and now the two trolleys will give a place for the equipment to be stored and keep the pool area clean and tidy. Elderly and disabled patients aren’t able to use normal weighing scales as in some patient’s case it can be difficult to stand. The new digital weigh chair worth $1400 will now allow physiotherapists and doctors in Cooma Hospital to weigh elderly and disabled patients

without them having to struggle to stand. Penny Larritt from the physiotherapy ward in the hospital says that both of these donations will make a massive difference to how the hospital functions. After 32 years the patient bedside lockers are definitely due to be replaced although the hospital definitely got full use out of them. The third donation from the Hospital Auxiliary is $10,000 worth of new patient bedside lockers. “The hospital makes requests and the hospital auxiliary does their best to provide,” said member of the hospital auxiliary, Marilynne Weston. Once a month the hospital auxiliary meets to discuss what the Cooma Hospital needs and ways to make it easier on the hospital staff. Through hard work and fundraising the ladies of the hospital auxiliary always find a way to provide for Cooma Hospital.

Snow economy gives NSW $1.2b In research released by National Institute of Economic and Industry Research, the Snowy Mountains resorts of Charlotte Pass, Perisher, Selwyn Snowfields and Thredbo were the catalyst for a $1,175 million injection into the gross state product of NSW in 2012. This represented an increase of 19 percent on 2011 and was up more than 50 percent on the 2005 season. Snowy Mountains’ 2012 winter season is estimated to have contributed almost 65 percent of the economic impact of the snow season in Australia – delivering a 80 percent greater contribution than Victoria. The headline gross regional product generated within Snowy River Shire was $561.6 million, or 57 percent of the LGA’s total the study concluded. Total annual resident employment opportunities generated in Snowy River Shire were 3,698;

which is 59.8 percent of the LGA total. The study also estimated that NSW Government’s taxation revenue, including share of GST, was more than $70 million. Tourism Snowy Mountains CEO Peter Sheppard says this study confirms the economic importance of the snow industry to not only the local region, but to NSW overall. “Snowy Mountains is the leading skiing destination in the southern hemisphere and Australia’s snow capital. Winter here continues to grow in economic importance - to the region, state and to the Australian economy. With over 27 percent of visitors now coming from outside NSW and a small but rapidly expanding market from Asia, with the right strategies, Snowy Mountains has significant potential for continued long term economic growth.”

Locals win heritage award

Two local tradesmen, builder Johnny Nassar and electrician Colin Mould, have had their work recognised in the National Trust Heritage Awards in Sydney. They were there as representatives for a project they recently completed which was nominated for an award. The project was the Refurbishment of the Yarrangobilly Caves 1917 Two Storey Residence. Full On Constructions were contracted to complete the full construction works and Colin Mould was contracted to complete all electrical. The project was managed by Office of Environment & Heritage/National Parks & Wildlife

Service. The award win was the Conservation Built Heritage – Government/Corporate Winner: Yarrangobilly Caves House, Kosciuszko National Park– One of only three known historic Caves House complexes still in Australia. The aim was to reopen the two-storey wing for self-catered guest accommodation, after being closed for 50 years. An outstanding example of best practice heritage conservation, involving meticulous planning and extraordinary teamwork – delivering a new lease of life for the community.

Recently returned from four weeks in Mississippi on a Rotary Exchange, Yallambee Lodge Manager, Donna Saddler, now realises how truly lucky we are in Australia in terms of aged care. Over the course of the four weeks Donna travelled around the Mississippi visiting aged care and health facilities and some of the worlds greatest tourist attractions. The Rotary Foundation’s Group Study Exchange (GSE) program is a unique cultural and vocational exchange opportunity for businesspeople and professionals between the ages of 25 and 40 who are in the early stages of their careers. The program provides travel grants for teams to exchange visits in paired areas of different countries. For four to six weeks, team members experience the host country’s culture and institutions, observe how their vocations are practiced abroad, develop personal and professional relationships, and exchange ideas. Donna travelled with four other aged care workers from Canberra and the South Coast and she says she’s made some amazing friends and networks from Australia and America. She discovered that the biggest difference between aged care here and in America is that in Australia we put a higher focus on outdoor activities and the quality of assistance is higher. She was surprised that most of the aged care facilities in America were very institutionalised; unlike the homely facilities we have in Australia. “We visited aged care facilities in a lot of different towns and not one of them was as homely as Yallambee,� said Mrs Saddler. Despite this she was able to learn a lot from the institutions over there that she will be able to implement here. In a typical four-week tour, applicants participate in five full days of vocational visits, 15 to 20 club presentations, 10 to 15 formal visits and social events, two to three days at the district conference, three to four hours per day of cultural and site tours, and three to four hours per day of free time with host families. For each team member, the Foundation provides the most economical round-trip airline ticket between the home and host countries. Rotarians in the host area provide for meals, lodging, and group travel within their district. Donna had the chance to not only learn about her career but also visit some very exciting tourist attractions in Mississippi. In her time over there Donna visited civil war battlefields, museums, Graceland, Memphis and got to fish in the Mississippi River. However she says that the favourite part of her trip was visiting a children’s home for under privileged African American kids and being able to give them Australian souvenirs. “It was a very rewarding and interesting trip I would recommend for anyone to go on a Rotary exchange if they get the chance. If I had the chance I would definitely go again,� said Mrs Saddler.

Fatz Cutz Quality Meat

On September 14 2013, the Gillard Government confirmed that it would hold a referendum on the Constitutional recognition of local government along with the federal election. This referendum would provide the people of Australia with an historic opportunity to protect within our nation’s Constitution, the Federal Government’s ability to continue funding Councils which are currently under legal threat to deliver the services communities need. These concerns followed from several recent court cases, including the successful challenge to the national school chaplaincy program on the Commonwealth Government’s ability to directly fund Local Government projects. The Australian Local Government Association (ALGA) believe that a Constitutional referendum would guarantee the Federal Government’s ability to directly fund Local Government projects such as Roads to Recovery program, sporting fields, swimming pools, libraries, etc. Local Government's national significance is underlined by the fact that it employs over 10% of the public sector work force, owns and manages non-financial assets worth over $250 billion, raises around 3.5% of Australia's total taxation revenue per annum, and has an annual expenditure of around $30 billion - just under 6% of total public spending (2011/12). Most of this Local Government expenditure is directed towards the provision of local community services. Councils across NSW have been asked by ALGA, the coordinating agency, to vote "Yes" at the next federal election referendum to ensure that essential funding for our communities can continue to be provided directly to Councils by the Australian Government. Cooma-Monaro Shire Council, who fully endorse this campaign, urges all ratepayers to stand up for their communities and support this significant Local Government drive to take away the legal threat against continuing federal funding, and support the fight with a "Yes" vote in the referendum.

Too good to be true the

postman calls

The Postman must be starting to lose it. It is becoming increasingly difficult to understand what people are talking about, as good old plain English as she is spoke, disappears under a tumult of weasel words and psychobabble. Take for instance the word ‘drench’. Quite a simple word and normally used in the context of good animal husbandry – as in to drench one’s horse, cow, sheep, dog, cat, or possibly self. So why is this innocuous word now linked to corruption in the racing industry? If someone had ‘drenched’ their racehorse, one would honestly expect they had been trying to relieve the creature of parasites. If in fact, the horse had been nobbled, why can’t people just say that? Really…! Looks like the people have not been listened to again. The Local land Services review, which although not finalised yet (they say), still has Cooma and Bombala attached to Wollongong in the same district. The recent consultative effort in Cooma would seem to be, as our three local mayors, said then – a complete waste of time. Why ask us what we think and then not listen to what we have to say? Here’s some sobering statistics for everyone in small business – a survey shows the average Australian small business is currently owed $11,588 in overdue debts. Nearly two thirds of all payments owed to small businesses are overdue and small businesses are losing 16.5 million work hours each year chasing late payments. Add to that the time wasted trying to contact ASIC the ATO or other government departments and one can understand the rising stress levels in our local community. And the empty shopfronts.

100% profit. Sound too good to be Our treasurer tells us we must true? Read on; spend and borrow, And thus carry on like there is no When we were young there is one tomorrow, thing we learned, If things don’t add up we just fiddle That a penny you saved was a and fudge it, penny you earned, “Cause that’s what he does when But today with high taxes there’s a preparing the budget. better return, “Cause each dollar you save Noel Carter, equals two that you earn. Cooma.

Okay, Winter hasn’t actually hit yet and it has been a lot warmer around the country than it usually is at this time of the year but I’m still of the opinion that I may not be whinging as much when Winter finally hits because apparently it’s more temperate here than where we were in Bredbo. Chances are I wont be whinging at all so you’ll all get a break. Well, that’s how it looks right now but we are yet to get into Winter proper so I wont make any promises just yet but I am hanging onto that hope that what I’ve been hearing about this place is true; mild Winters, no frosts and compared to all the inland Winters I’ve shivered through since moving away from Sydney many years ago well, apparently I’ll be laughing! I wont see any snow traffic up this way, that’s for sure and I have to admit, it’s a pleasant thought. No snow either come to think of it although in it’s defence, it did look pretty on those few occasions it fell in Brebdo, which is where I actually saw snow for the first time! It was around 2am and there we were having a total snow experience out in the yard while the rest of the village slept.

Wonderful! But anyway, as you are all probably sick to death of hearing, I don’t weather Winter terribly well so to now be residing in a region that, according to the locals, has fairly mild ones means this is the first Autumn that I haven’t gone down in a heap at the thought of what follows and so long as no one’s been pulling my leg here, I should be dancing for joy from June until the end of August. I should warn you though, if it turns out I’m not dancing… You’ll hear about it. Just thought I’d give you the heads-up on that. Even the heat wave of the Summer just gone was bearable here. The house remained deliciously cool and the pleasant breeze came in off the sea every afternoon and I found myself thinking heatwave? What heatwave? Well sure, it was hot, but cooked I was not, so it was all good. All I need now is to not turn into a shivering wreck over the next three months and I’ll be one very happy girl! So yeah! Winter! Bring it on!

Jindabyne Mother’s Day Classic

For more than 15 years, the Mother’s Day Classic fun run and walk has provided communities with a great way to celebrate Mother’s Day and raise funds for breast cancer research. This year the very first Jindabyne Mother’s Day Classic was a huge success with 367 registered and many more attendee’s. Karen Peters, an organiser of the event and a breast cancer survivor, said that it was a truly amazing day. “It was just one of those days where the weather gods smiled. It literally could not have gone any better,� she said. Overall, including individual and group fundraisers, organisers say the money raised in the area for the day will be close to a massive $10,000. Before the walk and run began Manuela Berchtold walked the group of 367 through some warm ups. Manuela was a Freestyle Mogul skier who retired

from competitive mogul skiing after the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy and now works at High Country Fitness. Karen Peters said Manuela’s warm ups really added to the atmosphere of the day. The huge group then departed for either a threekilometre walk or a five-kilometre run around the picturesque Lake Jindabyne. Bronnie Taylor, a registered McGrath Foundation Nurse, said she was extremely proud to be a part of the day. “It was a huge success for the first time. It was just a picture perfect day; there were stalls and music. It was a real family day out and due to its success this year I’m sure they will definitely be doing it again,� she said. Organisers would like to thank the community for their support.

News 9 CNP School needs your story

Year 5 and 6 students at Cooma North Public School are investigating the history of Cooma and the Monaro as part of their study of Australian history. They do not want to rely solely on the usual sources such as books and the Internet – they need to talk to people who were here from the early days of our town to the construction of the Snowy Scheme. If you have time and are interested in sharing your story with small groups of children, please contact Marg Watt at Cooma North Public School on 6452 1742.

Local schools to find Anzacs Two schools in the Monaro Electorate have received a total of $5,000 in NSW Government funding through its Anzac Community Youth Grants program, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro announced today. Bombala High School and St Patrick’s High School in Cooma will use the money to research and publish the biographical details of World War One servicemen whose names appear on the cenotaphs in both towns. “I am delighted that this grant will help young people in our region to gain a better understanding of the Anzac spirit,� Mr Barilaro said. “We must help the next generation to keep the flame of remembrance burning bright.� The Anzac Community Grants program was established to help raise awareness of the Anzac legacy in the lead-up to the Centenary of the First World War (2014-2018). “Our generation has a responsibility to pass on the Anzac legacy to our children and young people,� Mr Barilaro said.

“That’s why the NSW Government is funding these local-level commemorative and educational initiatives.� The Anzac Community Grants program provides grants to schools and other educational institutions, ex-service organisations, community groups, local government, museums and historical societies. Minister for Citizenship and Communities Victor Dominello said at least eight schools and community groups across NSW will share in more than $36,000 from the latest round of the Anzac Community Youth Grants program. “We want everyone in NSW, regardless of their age or background, to be part of this historic tribute to the enormous sacrifices of Australian servicemen and women throughout Australia’s history,� Mr Dominello said. For more information about the Anzac Community Grants Program, please visit www.veterans.nsw.gov.au.

Dreams of the future

Kaelin Bird is just like any other 19-year-old girl with dreams of the future. After leaving School in 2011 when she finished year 12, Kaelin had dreams of one day becoming a teacher’s aide. A year later and her dream is still very strong. She claims this dream was inspired by her time at St Patricks Parish School, which she attended until year 10. Kaelin is currently working at several different businesses in Cooma and Jindabyne as well as attending a cooking class at Tafe with the assistance of a work experience program with a local disability service. On Mondays and Wednesdays Kaelin helps out at her family’s business Last Run in Jindabyne where she assists her parents in customer service and office work. On Tuesdays Kaelin spends a few hours at the information centre in Jindabyne where she also helps out with customer service and office work. On Fridays Kaelin catches the bus into Cooma where she spends the morning at a Tafe cooking class. Then in the afternoon she catches the bus to Jindabyne and spends half an hour in her parents’ shop then works at Mitre 10 in Jindabyne for the rest of the

afternoon. But Kaelin’s favourite day is Thursday where she works in the office at St Pat’s School. Kaelin also spends a lot of time working for Cooma Library sorting books and works for Cocina Mexican Restaurant in Jindabyne a few nights a week where she sometimes works front of house in customer service. Kaelin says she just wants to be like everyone else and get a fulltime paid job hopefully working in education. “I love working with kids. I really want fulltime work. I just want to help out my sister and my mum and dad,” she says. Kaelin is a very friendly, confident person who has a wonderful personality and relates very well to people. It’s hard enough for anyone Kaelin’s age to get fulltime work in a job that they love but unfortunately for Kaelin her disability makes this even more difficult. But in the end Kaelin is just like any other 19-year-old girl and simply wants to find a job she loves doing and something to do with her life everyday. Kaelin is a truly inspiring and amazing person to have come this far under her circumstances and any business would be lucky to have her as a worker.

NSW Government funding for Thredbo Historical Society The Thredbo Historical Society will receive $7,500 in funding under the NSW Government’s 2013 Collection Documentation Grants Program, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro has announced. The funding will be used to update the Historical Society’s collection database and enable volunteers to catalogue the collection. “The Thredbo Historical Society’s collection which is on display at the Thredbo Museum celebrates the rich, diverse and dynamic heritage of snow sports,� said Mr Barilaro. “The collection has a large selection of memorabilia, equipment, photos and documents that promotes through its archival information, education, research and entertainment. “The society is volunteer based and over 4,000 people visit the museum each year; I’m proud the NSW Government has seen fit to provide funding for this important community asset.� The funding program administered by Museums & Galleries NSW on behalf of the NSW Government, enables community museums to bring in specialists to work with volunteers on documentation and or significance assessment of objects and collections. “The funding program is designed to make the collections more accessible, core projects include identifying and

Andrew Manthey and Phil Walter enjoy a beer in Townsville. The Cooma Crew have reached Townsville all in one piece. A few gruelling days riding in ever increasing heat made the rest day all the more enjoyable. As of Sunday afternoon the Around Australia Ride 2013 has officially raised over $200,000 and still rising. Each day people come up to us and give us money. One old lady gave the

change in her purse, $4.25. It was all she had but insisted that we take it. Another example of generosity came from a man who opened his wallet and took all the cash out and donated it, it came to $165.00. The youngest participant is a 9 year old girl riding with her mother. She is handling things very well. The crew has now headed west into central Queensland.

Nicholas’ whole family is supporting the cause with his mother, Margaret Corr, cooking for the team between Esperance and Sydney. Nicholas spent his entire childhood in Cooma and left in 2010 to study Medical and Health Sciences at The University of Wollongong (UOW). Nicholas graduated with a Medical and Health Science degree last year and is now working for UOW at the Centre for Health Initiatives and applying for UOW Medical School for next year. Nicholas has a very strong belief in the Bible Society and believes that their projects are extremely beneficial to those in need. “I think it’s important as literacy is often overlooked when it comes to charitable causes so as you can see by this years projects, these aim to address the issue. It also provides religious materials to those who may not have access too it, which is something we take for granted in this country,” explained Nicholas. Unfortunately Nicholas is not a Cooma local anymore, so any donations would have to be made online. To get to his donation page go to: -www.towardsthegoal.com.au -select ‘The Australia BIG Ride - Broome to Sydney’ -select ‘Nicholas Corr’ under the ‘Make a Donation’ heading -select ‘Sponsor Me’ or ‘Donate Now’ A receipt will be provided with donations over $2 as they are tax deductable.

Former Cooma local and 22 year old, Nicholas Corr, has done over a dozen lengthy bike rides for charity including a ride from Perth to Sydney in 2009, but he’s never ridden this far before. In July and August this year Nicholas will be riding his bike, with a group of cyclists, from Broome to Perth to Sydney over 64 days to raise money for the Bible Society NSW projects. When finished the trip the cyclists will have ridden 7196 kilometres, crossed three state boarders and will be nursing some very sore legs. But the ride is not in vain, with the money raised by each group member going straight to the Bible Society’s current projects. Bike for Bibles is a predominately volunteerrun fundraising initiative for the Bible Society Australia. It began with a ride between Sydney and Melbourne in 1984 and since then, is made up of dozens of day, weekend, week and marathon cycling tours in Australia and overseas, with volunteers having raised over $12 million for the Bible Society Australia so far. The two main projects that the money raised will go to are the ‘Read to Live’ program in South America and Bibles for the Australian Defence Forces and Chaplaincy work. ‘Read to Live’ is joining together Bible Societies across Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Panama and using God’s Word to face the very serious problem of domestic violence in South American Communities. A Bible-based literacy programme is reaching women at risk in rural-dwelling and indigenous communities where education levels are low. Bible Society is committed to rebuilding these women’s lives and giving them a new future centred on God’s Word and Christ’s love. Bibles for the Australian Defence Forces and Chaplaincy Work is providing specialist scriptures for chaplains working within the Australian Defence Forces (ADF), as well as the police force, emergency services, hospitals, prisons and seafarers’ missions. The ADF scripture edition comes with a camouflage patterned cover, an element familiar to those in the services. A special Police-blue edition includes specific readings on grief, ethics, integrity, leadership and forgiveness. Such ‘targeted’ versions of God’s Word are relevant to the reader, engage their interest and are life-changing. Nicholas has an ambitious fundraising aim of $16,000 and all fundraising will go directly towards the projects outlined above as he pays his own way for the entirety of the trip.

The main component of pearls, sea shells and egg shells is calcium carbonate. The Earth has a mass about a million times greater than its atmosphere. Apples originally came from Asia. The Arctic tern has the longest annual migration – over 70 000 kilometres! Cyanobacteria are typically responsible for forming stromatolites.

said: “With winter approaching, Open Day is a timely opportunity to talk to the experts in home fire safety. Winter is the worst time of the year for home fires.” Station commander Reeks added that the joint FRNSW/GIO online home fire safety audit is one of the best ways of assessing home fire awareness and identifying the risks throughout the home. Go to http:// www.homefiresafetyaudit.com.au/ to see how your home rates. “Head over to Cooma Fire Station on Open Day and talk to our firefighters face-to-face about simple safety tips you can use to escape quickly and safely in case of a fire or emergency.” Open Day marks the end of Fire Prevention Week for 2013. Go to www.fire.nsw.gov.au for more information.

Firefighters are encouraging people to visit Cooma Fire Station for the Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) annual Open Day on Saturday May 18. Cooma Fire Station will be open from 10am to 2pm and families are encouraged to visit their local firefighters and learn more about fire prevention. A range of free activities will be on offer including firefighting demonstrations, station tours and fire safety presentations including advice about installing smoke alarms, changing smoke alarm batteries and preparing a home escape fire plan. Children will be able to see fire engines and firefighting equipment up close, which is always one of the highlights of this much-anticipated day. Station commander Chris Reeks

16 MONARO PROPERTY MUSTER Master builders call for steady Budget approach as building data recovers Statement by Executive Director of the MBA-ACT, John Miller Canberra’s peak building and construction industry organisation, Master Builders ACT has pointed to the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics building approvals figures revealing a national seasonally-adjusted decrease of 5.5 per cent in March as increasing the need for Budget stability. MBA-ACT executive, director, John Miller said the only up-side of the March data was a marginal 0.8 per cent increase with respect to private sector dwellings. “Sadly, this represents a reversal of the recent months of more positive data with respect to residential building activity which seemed to be reflecting a continuing improvement in consumer sentiment,� he said. Looking at the data for the ACT, Mr Miller said he was pleased to note the strength of the data with respect to private sector dwellings – something which had outstripped the national data. “This reflects the general improvement we are

seeing in conditions in the local industry and points to the level of activity we are likely to see over coming months,� he said. However Mr Miller warned that there was still some way to go before the Canberra industry could be regarded as having recovered to the levels which had preceded the global financial crisis,. “While we are seeing a modest recovery in the data, much of this is owed to the more stable interest rate environment and a general improvement in economic news both locally and from overseas,� he said. Mr Miller said that in these circumstances the building industry would be looking to both the Federal and ACT Budgets to deliver sensible outcomes which did not serve to reverse the momentum which was currently developing in the residential housing sector.

Snowy River Real Estate: helping young families take their first steps in buying property A significant number of young families are taking full advantage of all that the Snowy River Shire has to offer, deciding to make the region their home. It seems though, before education, medical and lifestyle services, first and foremost on the list of the area’s benefits to young families, is affordable housing prices. Patrick Sacco, Director of Snowy River Real Estate has witnessed the influx of families first-hand having sold a large number of both low and medium cost houses in the recent months. “Affordable houses are attracting young buyers; it’s especially good to see because

now, economically speaking is an excellent time to buy property,� says Patrick. As a real estate agent, Patrick understands the importance of helping first-time/young buyers overcome both the usual and unusual hurdles of buying a property. “Buying property can actually be a lot of fun, it doesn’t have to be stressful� Patrick says “I like to stay abreast of each sale to make sure the process runs smoothly. If I can ensure a new purchaser has a positive first experience they will be more confident when buying property in the future�.

Helping YOU Prosper

Head to BrisVegas If you are looking to invest in a capital city Brisbane is one location you need to seriously consider. WHY? They call QLD Capital City BrisVegas but you should not invest with a gambling mentality. You must invest wisely, do your due diligence, educate yourself so you can make an astute decision. I spent most of last week looking at properties locating the best areas to invest after receiving the research data from our research team, stating that for a number of reasons SE QLD was one of the best places to invest right now. But as always you do not just want to invest anywhere, there will be locations within SE QLD that will do much better than others and some areas right now that are experiencing growth and other that may not move forward for 12 months or more. So it is crucial you drill down on the micro and the macro of a location to find the optimum location. During our trip talking to developers and builders and going to more than 30 different area’s we have identified the best locations for maximum returns for our clients, and if you are going to invest you must get maximum returns, don’t take a gamble! So what are the reasons for investing in Brisbane:1) It is at the start of the next cycle upward swing. 2) There has been a 5 year correctional cycle therefore prices are low and it is a buyers market now. 3) Rental demand is going up, rental vacancy % (currently 1.9%) is going down and property in the best locations are becoming harder to find. 4) Massive Under supply of properties 5) Population Growth is booming 6) Over 15,000 new jobs were created in Brisbane last year (Source ABS) 7) Prices across Brisbane have risen 4.8% in the past 12 months which is typical to the start of a cycle when most of the countries capitals have experienced under 2% growth. There is many other reasons like major infrastructure spending but I have limited space today. In short for an affordable, Safe and Secure investment look at Brisbane, but for the best investment seriously talk to me first If you visit www.prosperitygroup.com.au you down load my ebook The 7 Critical Mistakes in Property Investment. Please find my contact details if you would to have FREE with No obligation personal consultation in your home. Have a great day!

Kaludah’s $30,000 bull

Monaro Merino Muster results

Kaludah’s Hereford Stud has once again topped the Wondonga Hereford Show and Sale, held last week. Last year the stud was one of three which sold bulls to $30,000. This year the stud was the only stud to reach $30,000. In a sale where some bulls sold down to only $3000, Kaludah Daddy-O, not only topped the sale, but was also Junior Champion Bull and reserve grand champion bull, behind Glendan Park Herefords, Kyneton. Bulls sold to $30,000, $28,000 and $20,000 and down to just $3000. Of 189 bulls offered, 149 sold for a clearance of 79 per cent and a gross of $811,500. The average price was $5446, down on last year’s average of $7266. Kaludah Daddy-O sold to Vern Robertson of the Top End Hereford stud at Goulburn, NSW. Offered by Pam Shelley from Kaludah at Cooma, the bull had Breedplan figures of +19 for milk compared to the breed average of +13; +69 for 600day weight compared to breed average of +63, and had a moderate birth weight of +4.7, compared to the breed average of 4.4. This was the third time Mr Robertson paid the top price at the Wodonga fixture to secure a Kaludah bull, spending $30,000 last year to get another bull from the same stud. Second top price of $28,000 was paid for the Hancock family’s Whim Park General G037, a 22-month-old bull from the family’s Blayney, NSW, stud. Buyers came from across Victoria, NSW, Tasmania and South Australia.

Schute Bell wool report Most of last week’s losses were recovered this week. Encouragingly the gains were made over both selling days with a strong close lifting the Northern Region Indicator back above 1000 cents. Medium types gained the most momentum as did the merino cardings, carrying on their strong performance over the past month. A small national offering resulted in just over 33,000 bales sold for the week with a passed in rate of 8.2%. Major buyers included PJ Morris, Techwool & Lempriere. Quantities on offer are beginning to decline as expected with the next three weeks of sales averaging around 37,000 per week. The positives to come out of this week run deeper than just a jump in the indicator. For the time being we have avoided the low point set back in September last year after it had appeared that the market was set on testing it. That low point last September was a 35% drop from the peak, which coincidently is roughly the average fall from grace the market has had after every peak since the early 90’s. The other positive was the forward market following the physical, with 19 and 21 micron contracts trading bang on this week’s closing physical prices. This week’s sales 37,603 bales are expected to be on offer nationally with 11,301 in Sydney. Schute Bell, Wool Auctions, Goddard & Monaro Wool are selling on Thursday 16.

The battle to control Serrated Tussock Status Serrated Tussock is a class 4 noxious weed in the CoomaMonaro Shire. The growth and spread of the plant must be controlled according to the measures specified in a management plan published by Council. Habitat Serrated Tussock is a highly invasive weed that can greatly reduce the carrying capacity and productivity of agricultural land. It threatens the biodiversity of native grasslands and woodlands. Serrated Tussock will become established easily where there is

little competition, and invasion occurs as a result of the opportunity existing or becoming available. The species is highly adaptive in all soil types prone to infestation, plus the more sparse the pasture or competition, the more successful is Serrated Tussock invasion. Characteristics Serrated Tussock is a perennial Tussock grass that usually reaches a height of 50cm; however plants growing on less fertile soil are usually smaller. Serrated Tussock plant germination usually takes place in autumn or winter and emerge in spring, are initially erect but tend to droop on maturity. The flowering heads take on a purplish appearance soon after flowering commences and then turn golden brown. Seeds can lay dormant in the soil for as long as 15 years. Spread The primary method of dispersal is by wind. The seed is extremely light weight, which makes it possible to travel considerable distances by wind and along water bodies such as rivers, creeks and drainage lines.

Prevention

The best control method for Serrated Tussock is preventing its establishment on your property. Any new plants found should be destroyed before seeding to prevent further infestation. Continue vigilance on your property for new infestation or germinations as required to prevent establishment. Control methods for Serrated Tussock have been historically focused on the removal of adult plants

through chemical control.

Nassella trichotoma Serrated Tussock is a native of South America (Argentina, Chile, Peru and Uruguay). The weed is thought to have been introduced to Australia in 1900 but was not recorded until 1935 when it was first referred to as the ‘Yass River Tussock’. Later, in 1945 the weed was recorded in Victoria and 1956 in Tasmania. The extent of the infestation in New South Wales is now 700,000 ha and 100,000 in Victoria. Recognised as a Weed of National Significance; Serrated Tussock is both widespread and highly invasive.

Our Anzac of the Year - Denis Feaver The Cooma ANZAC of the year award recognises someone who has made outstanding contributions to the local community over an extended period up to and including 2012. As Cooma ANZAC of the year 2013, Denis Feaver most certainly fits this description. Having grown up in the UK Mr Feaver and his family moved to Adelaide in 1959 when he was ten years old. In 1961 Mr Feaver moved to Cooma with his family when his father received a job offer on the Snowy Scheme. Mr Feaver has called Cooma home ever since. He attended Monaro High School and when he turned 18 he joined the Australian Navy. He claims his original dream was to become a helicopter pilot but his colour blindness changed that plan. Mr Feaver then took on his back up plan and trained as a radio operator in a career that he followed on various ships and bases all over the world. His six years in the Navy saw Mr Feaver stationed on some of the Royal Australian Navy’s greatest ships including: HMAS Hobart, HMAS ANZAC, HMAS Buttabul, HMAS Kumbram as well as being rostered for a short time with the South East Asia Treaty Organisation (SEATO) forces for 3 months with the Thai navy. “The Navy was a very interesting and amazing experience I got to see a lot of places and things that people wouldn’t usually see in their lifetimes,” explained Mr Feaver.

Wednesday May 15, 2013

He was discharged from the Navy in 1974 and moved to Sydney where he worked in a communications role at IBM, where he stayed for 25 years. In 1982 Mr Feaver returned to Cooma where he transferred to the IBM office in Canberra and commuted daily from Cooma. In 2000 he bought a taxi and became the owner and driver in the Cooma Taxi co-op for five years. At 60 years old Mr Feaver was fully retired, had sold his taxi and became extremely involved with the Cooma-Monaro community. Mr Feaver became a huge part of the Cooma-Bombala Legacy Group as well as the CoomaMonaro sub ranch of the RSL. Cooma-Monaro RSL sub branch president Peter McMahon described him as a ‘star player’ for Legacy and the Cooma Monaro sub ranch of the RSL. He is said to have always been there when work is to be done and is extremely deserving of the 2013 Cooma ANZAC of the year award. The judging panel were looking not only at the length and quantity of service but also at the quality, which includes individual acts of compassion, generosity and bravery. As treasurer of Legacy Mr Feaver has given a monthly report on their finances and has also been a huge part of their fundraising program in September each year. He has also been a liaison officer for Legacy for six years, looking after the Ladies Laurel Club, which is a monthly meeting for widows in the community. Mr Feaver is a very deserving man of this award and should be extremely proud of his achievements, compassion and generosity displayed over the years, which makes him a clear recipient. “It’s a great honour and a privilege; I was completely taken aback, it was totally unexpected,” Mr Feaver said.

There was another five game match between teams Truckstop and Kleven Spain when Alex Childs played Leanne Kent in a very good match. Leanne – who has improved her game considerably – played some good shots but eventually lost to Alex. Good sportsmanship was evident on the night and this should be encouraged – it makes for a much better comp. Keep it up! Team results were: Paul Dyball Builders 11 def.

Nearest the pin on the ninth went to Keith Russell and on the 17th our winner was Adam Robinson. Longest drives went to Josh Rainsford in A grade, Roy Hankinson in B grade and Jim Darley in C grade. The following day, on Sunday, round six of the super stableford was

In B grade Heikki Evans won the day with 35 points with a great finish over the last few holes and in C grade Dave Abraham won with 36 points. Ball winners went down to Rulie Steinfort with 32 points. Nearest the pin on the ninth went to Richard Hanna and on the 17th Heikki Evans. Wednesday saw Adam Robinson take out A grade with 37 points.

Stallions hit back against Narooma

Above: Jack Williams on the burst. Right: Adam Walters about to hit the deck. The Stallions hosted last year’s premiers Narooma on Sunday and came away comprehensive victors.

The Stallions had last year’s game in their mind and also were keen to erase last week’s performance where they had the game won but due their ill discipline let the game slip away. After 20 minute they were in a similar position to last week leading 18- 4 but this time they went on with the game and by half time had the game in the bag leading 40 – 4 due to tries to Zach Smith, Sam Dowsett, Jack

Williams, Steve Dunn, Corey Thomas, Sam Gilbert and Jake Schofield. The second half became a bit of a slog and Narooma through some well placed kicks were able to score a couple of tries, however the Stallions kicked on and further tries to Tom Holmes, Sam Gilbert, Todd Williams Chris Khoury and a further two tries to Jack Williams saw the final score 72 – 20 in favor of the Stallions. The team is very strong all over the park and Sunday’s

effort has shown they will be a strong chance this year. Even with the injuries they have received thus far they have a lot of depth and talent to call on from winger to the front row. So in a good team effort the best for Cooma was Tom Holmes, Jack Williams and Todd Williams. Next Saturday the first and Ladies league tag take on Cobargo at Cobargo. The following week they are home to Merimbula Pambula Bombala. LTPM/11/00292 LTPM/12/00336

Mixed results for Cooma Colts Under 9s U/9 Monaro Panel Beaters had another great defensive display despite going down today against a much bigger Kangaroos side. Remember big boys can’t run without their legs, as James Bannon proved time and again with another gutsy defensive effort. Kayla Fleming and Michael Day were once again very strong through the middle, charging with no fear. Flynn Palmer and Jonah Perea keep improving tremendously, Flynn bringing down some much bigger opponents and Jonah learning the art of side stepping and weaving his way through the defence. Lachlan Hemphill also used his feet well stepping and weaving proving difficult to nab and bring down. Marcus Riley was a little more involved with some good weaving runs, keeping the defence in 2 minds. Jake Maddrell also was more involved with the ball and helping out well in defence. Barrett Bannon battled on bravely despite copping a knock on his knee, with some strong runs through the middle as he does every week. Likewise for Alex Aitkenhead who got winded early on in a heavy tackle but got up and dusted himself off and had his best running game with the ball so far. Brock Freeburn also copped a knock after taking on the bigger boys but put it behind him to make some good runs out wide and strong defence. Adam Constance and Cody Clarke are always willing to put their hand up and make good runs through the middle and out wide, and help in defence well. Kristian Zusak served the ball well as usual from dummy half and scooted over for our only try. Player of the week – Flynn Palmer. McDonalds Award – Jonah Perea Under 10s Well our boys made their mothers very proud in Goulburn on Sunday although we lost 28 to 34 they never looked like giving up, they worked as a team to pull off 6 tries, 2 to James Dyball, and one a piece to Jayden Williams, Hudson Laird, Jake Galvin and Lachlan McGufficke. Great defensive line lead by Arthur Bottom, Jesse Eljuga and Clint Filtness, and fantastic runs from all the try scorers. A gutsy effort from our boys who played with only 10 players. Points went to Jake Galvin with 3, Daniel Watts 2 and Lachlan McGufficke 1. Weekly medals went to Clint Filtness © and Darcy Clarke. Under 11s Cooma Highland Ground Spreading Under 11’s this week travelled to Melba Oval to play the Belconnen Sharks. The first half saw the team play its best for the year with good ball control, movement and solid defence. Straight hard running from Jason Kelly, Colin Kingston, Josh Sharkey and Noah Saddler saw Cooma leading 24 to 4 at half time. Belconnen took the game to Cooma early in the second half. Due to some handling errors by the Colts, but with some great goal line defence from Tyler Rees, Nic Zusak and Ethan Connelly and good positional play by wingers Alec Miners and James McGufficke Cooma restricted Belconnen to only two tries in the second half. With the Colts scoring three tries to make the final score Colts 38 to Belconnen Sharks 16. Try scorers for the day where Nic Zusak, Tyler Rees, Noah Saddler and Alec Miners, with goals being confidently kicked by Tyler Rees, Josh Sharkey and Jason Kelly. This week’s coach’s award was presented to Nic Zusak for a great all round game, and the weekly awards went to Josh Sharkey, Tyler Rees and Ethan Connelly for a great defensive effort. Thanks to all the parents for all their support and encouragement for the team. Unders 12s Cooma Colts Mainstreet under12’s travelled to Melba to play the Belconnen sharks. The Colts started off slowly with the Sharks scoring in the first set which gave the Colts a bit of motivation. From the kick off the Colts got the ball back and in that set the Colts scored. The Colts were then on it until half time. The half time score was 28-4. The second half was pretty much the same, with a few handling errors. The defence was very strong, the Sharks found it hard to get out of their own red zone and the Colts were also strong when it come to defending their own try line, a lot of great performances today. Tries went to, 2 to Remy Oldrey, 2 to Archie Allen, 1 to Darcy Barnes, Bailey Rogers, Sam Sergo, Will Pendergast, Jayden Miners. Conversions by Remy Oldrey, Bailey Rogers, Will Pendergast, Shay lee Strickland, Darnel Bartlett, Sean Dixon.

This week Players Medal went to Sean Dixon, McDonalds award to Clayton Miners, Tourist mini meal to Sam Sergo Unders 14s The Snowy Plains Merino Stud Under 14’s played the North Canberra Bears, the same team they played against in the grand final last year. From the word ‘go’ Cooma’s defence proved strong through work horses like Carson Barrett, newcomer Bailey Davis and Joel Saville. The opposition made a mistake and Will shingles ran to the line drawing the opposition to off load to Jake Hedger who scored and converted his own try. The boys were up 6 nil. From the kick off Patrick Connolly took the ball and ran up the side line through the defence to only pull up a metre out. A quick play the ball saw Matthew Chelin cross over and the conversion by Jake Hedger made the score 12 nil. A lack of concentration saw the Bears hit back making the score 12 to 6 at the half time break. In the second half plenty of good moves were made by our forwards through strong runs by Alex Swan, Matty Robinson and Kane Trent-Smith. The backs stepped up and assisted the forwards in metres made through Timothy Gregory, Matthew Chelin, Patrick Connolly and Jamie Rogers. Charlie Allen with a great dummy and two good side steps was able to put the ball over the line and conversion successful we lead 18 to 6. Further ball movement and good service by Charlie Allen and Will Shingles saw the bears on their back foot again and Carson Barrett, Matty Robinson and Jake Hedger who all, with quick thinking, were able to score some great individual tries making the final score 34 to 6. The most pleasing thing in the second half was the Colts ability to keep the Bears scoreless and the completion of good sets of six. Great team effort all round. Awards went to Patrick Connolly for Players Player and the McDonald’s Awards went to Mathew Chelin, Timothy Gregory, Bailey Davis and Alex Swan. Under 13s Franks Butchery under 13’s had an early start on Sunday travelling to Gungahlin. The boys all started well with Bill Zammit scoring the first try and Lachlan Inskip converting. Jack Reid and Jarrod Jesz showed tremendous improvement again this week helping Lachlan inskip find the line to score the second try. Gungahlin fought back scoring next, but the boys regained and went on to help Will Saddler make a great break and score with Lachlan converting.Dylan Elton, Jak Adams and Lachlan Jones all continued great defence throughout the whole game.lachlan Inskip was next to score converting his own try. The team welcomed James Cahill back after a broken arm, his presence was well noticed in the game today, scoring the next try. James Hill was next to make a break up the feild dodging the oposition and scoring. gunghahlin fought back again scoring next. Josh Mcconkey, Josh Dwyer-Gersak and Tim Bottom all showed their skill with the ball making great tackles. James Hill again scored to finish the game leaving the score 34points to 8points. 3 points and medal went to Lachlan Inskip, 2 points went to Will Saddler, 1 point James Hill. encouragement medals went to Jack Reid and Josh DwyerGersak. Thank you to league safe Nic Dwyer-Gersak and Pete Gersak and first aid Jo Zammit. Under 15s Last Sunday the Colts U15’s made the arduous trek to Crookwell to take on the Devils on a very balmy mother’s day clash. The long trip looked to have taken the gallop out of the Colts and some early mistakes saw Crookwell race away to a 10-0 lead after as many minutes. The game plan had been left on the bus with DJ Walker’s tunes, and more errors and poor defensive reads from the Colts had the Crookwell boys 16-0 and a mother’s day massacre was on the cards. We finally got the ball in hand and managed to make some ground through the Devil’s defence and had the big forwards going backwards and we threatened the opposition line and were unlucky not to score. After some great line running by our big three, Fanning showed some great strength and bamboozled the Crookwell defence and scored just before half time. Hayden converted and at the break it was 16-6. We started the second half well and went back to our game plan, keeping it simple and completing our sets. Some clinical kicking from Fanning saw Russell swoop on a Devils mistake and the Colts were back in the game 16-10. From the ensuing kick off we went back to sleep and several lapses in concentration cost the Colts allowing Crookwell to score again and they had a 10 point lead. With 15 minutes on the clock the Colts lifted and after some strong

running and clever kicking we were back on the Crookwell line before Fanning crossed for his second. At 20-14 we were well and truly in the game and another pin point kick had Williams leap high to regather only to be brought down short of the opposition line. We let ourselves down in the final minutes and Crookwell ran in two late tries. Final score 28-14 to Crookwell. We were our own worst enemies making simple mistakes that cost us all over the park. We must learn to concentrate and work together as a team and we will more games throughout the season. Best and Fairest was a stand-out performance from Lachie Sellers who gave it all in attack and defence. In his second game of league, Steve ‘Ink’ Freeman showed he will a force to be reckoned with throughout the season, 2 points. 1 point went to Tyler Fanning who again showed his class with two tries. Under 16s The Colts Under 16’s travelled to Greenway to take on Woden Weston Rams. The Colts had the Rams under pressure from the kick off and maintained this for the first five minutes. This was then converted into points when Josh Zammit was able to crash over for the first of his three tries. His second came only five minutes later to take the score to 12-0. The Colts gave away a number of penalties soon after allowing the Rams to score. The Colts were able to score twice more before half time. The first to Josh Zammit and the second to Tyler Jones who took advantage of some gaping holes in the Rams defence to dive over under the posts. This took the score to 24-6 at half time. The Rams were first to score in the second half before Cooma hit back, again through Tyler Jones - with a dummy and a quick dart from dummy half. Aaron Pidcock was unlucky not to score straight after but was able to get his name on the try scoring list soon after when he dragged 3 Rams players with him before scoring beside the posts. At full time the Colts had scored a resounding 36-12 win. The medal was awarded to Ben Trotter for his solid work in attack. All 15 players in the team deserve a mention for the effort they showed in both attack and defence during this match - no one had an off night. Well done again boys - keep it up.

Handicap pairs decided Undoubtedly, the showpiece of Saturdays bowls was the final of the Handicap Pairs. Brian Seears subbed for Mike Mannile to pair with Colin Roberson against Colin Peuker and Geoff Venables with no handicap involved as both pairs were on equal combined handicap. After six ends the scores were six all. At that point Geoff and Colin edged ahead and on end thirteen had established a 15 to nine lead. Eight shots over three ends to Brian and Colin put them back in front 17 to 15 and from then on it was a very close match with Brian and Colin winning 24 to 23. There were only fourteen Social Bowlers on Saturday. John Vincent and Guilio D’Amico were much too good for Colin Whiting and Richard Nichols allowing their opposition to win only seven ends in their 35 to 15 victory. It was a similar story with Alan Crowe, Bob Douglas and Peter Marsicano outscoring Max Povey, Ron Wainwright and Paul Cannell fourteen ends to seven and 18 shots to nine. A feature of this game was 15 one shot ends and just six decided by two shots. Keith Goodwin and Renate Winckel made a good start against Maureen D’Amico and Denis Steinfort to lead five to zero but then went walkabout to be down 18 to eight before covering

a little to eventually accept defeat by Maureen and Denis 23 to 19. In the Semi-final of the Major Singles played on Sunday, Tom Reed had the better of Nelson Wallace over the early stages of their encounter in setting up a 22 to seven lead after 18 ends, to be in a commanding position and went on to win 33 to 14. Tom will now play the winner of Ron Wainwright and Colin Roberson and that will be decided on Friday. The attendance for Mothers Day Bowls was disappointing but the novelty format met with approval of the eight players who took part and enjoyed a BBQ lunch as well as some refinements to the conditions of play could make this an interesting event for future play. After adding on shots and deducting penalties such as wrong bias or bowl in the ditch, Sherry Seears and Garry Taylor finished ahead of Cobber Seears and Elaine Taylor whilst Keith Goodwin and Brian Seears edged out Mary Obermaier and Denis Steinfort. The Mothers Day raffle was drawn at the conclusion of play with Sherry Seears being the first prize-winner, with Gabe McFarlane second and Peter McMahon third. Thanks to all who supported the raffle!

Cooma womens bowls Tuesday was a glorious day, the greens were running very slick which saw many bowls at the start up on the bank and not on the green. Congratulations to Helen Peuker for winning the District Singles . The first round of the Minor Singles resulted in some close encounters and surprising wins. On rink 3 E Hamilton played G Caldwell. This game drew an interest with Gwen an established bowler while Evelyn was playing her first competition season. Gwen was finding the green a challenge and by end five found herself down 10 nil. Evelyn was playing confidently and led 18-4 on 12th end. Although struggling, Gwen plugged along and for seven ends Eve could only pick up one shot until the last few ends when she was able to pick up six shots to win 25-13. On Rink 4, C Meillon played J Upton. There was never much in this game, although Cheryl managed to just keep in front. Julie’s form was never in doubt and at end 18

she was only two points away 15-13. Cheryl’s multiples over the last ends gave her the lead and although Julie finished off strongly, Cheryl got over the line 25-19. On Rink 5, M Obermaier and H Walker went in to battle. Hazel started the game off well to lead three nil, but from here on Mary dominated to win 254. On Rink 6, V Clark played D Russell. Dawn started the more confidently leading 8-3 on end 7, but Val was keeping in touch with many multiples and by end 14 the score was 13 all - Val started to draw in multiple shots over the last three ends and Dawn was having trouble putting the brakes on and found her bowls running through the head . Val winning 25-15.Congratulations to all the winners, commiserations to the losers who get to do it again next season. The Final of club fours will not be until May 28 when L Snell’s team will play M Zasso’s.

Cooma Fillies win in 82-4 stampede The Cooma Fillies have continued their dominance in the Group 16 LeagueTag competition, defeating the Narooma Red Devils 82-4. In unseasonably warm weather conditions, both teams were aware of the impact the heat would have on the game. Narooma started the first half in dominant position, and with three backto-back sets through strong early play, tested the Fillies defence right from the start. Gaining the ball in good position and through strong attack from Abby Schofield and Maree Ingram, Alicia Bolton was able to break through the line and score under the posts in the 6th minute. From here, the floodgates were opened and while Narooma completed their sets well, the Fillies were able to break through their defence on the first and second plays in the set, and a plethora of Good tagging from Teresa Dunn. long range tries were scored, with Kristy Nichols, Abby Schofield, Patrice Ingram and Meg Bracher all and Teresa Dunn were solid in attack. Narooma hit crossing the line, and, in a twist, each converting their own back with their first try of the day to Marilyn Campbell, who tries. Line breaks from Anna Steel and Alana Nichols gave the was a stand out for her team. It didn’t take long for Cooma Fillies good field position and with seconds remaining on the to realign, and from a set play, Meg Bracher got her third clock, a precision grubber from Bolton inside 20m from the try try of the day. Von der Burg followed it up shortly after with line was collected cleanly by Monique Ingram to round out the another long range try, and not to be outdone, Georgie Clarke mirrored it minutes later. first half at 40-0. From a set play, Patrice Ingram and Kristy Nichols set Steel Maree Ingram took the ball from the kick off and in a barnstorming run, sidestepped the Narooma defence to open up for another line break and from this, Ingram got her second the scoring again for the second half.

With just a minute remaining on the clock, Monique Ingram remained safe behind the defensive line, and through a was at it again, and through Patrice’s conversion, rounded the perfect cut out pass from Schofield, Brianna Von der Burg was able to get her first for the day.

The Fillies showed class, but it was predominantly through defensive errors that their tries were scored, so they are still yet to test their rehearsed attacking skills.

Bush Pigs 30th Birthday

A stellar history revisited...

The original team, in 1983, played Cooma wearing Monaro High School jumpers and won the match. The Jindabyne Bushpigs will celebrate their 30th anniversary this weekend, with a full day of activities at John Connors Oval. Action starts at 10am, for junior matches, with the seniors playing the Bungendore Mudchooks at 2.30pm. The celebrations will continue with the anniversary Green and White Ball at Lake Jindabyne Hotel on Saturday night. Thirty years ago, a couple of Jindabyne locals defied the odds and the local character of the town and organised a few rugby union games. Their brave actions came about after Harry Cummins was challenged by Brian Kaufline to form a team to play Cooma. Harry rounded up a group of players, the majority from the Westpac bank along with a few Snowy River Bears. The team travelled to Cooma, played in Monaro High School Jumpers and proceeded to beat Cooma. During 1983 this group of players, organised mainly by Steve Gibb and Mick Mugridge, chipped in and bought a set of Irish Green Jumpers and proceeded to play nine games up and down the South Coast. The name Bushpigs arose from a cruise trip some of the boys went on in late 1982 - many of the boys ended up in gaol on the ship and were very lucky that the next port they would be kicked off at was Sydney. Bushpig colours have always predominantly been Irish green, the founder of the Club, Harry Cummins wouldn’t let the club play in anything else. Many variations of the clubs logo’s and jumpers have been used over the years and these have been very successfully marketed on all styles of merchandise. In 1984 the Club entered a team in the ACT Sub districts competition, this was a big step for a bunch of guys in a Rugby league orientated district. The first team encountered lots of opposition from the local league fraternity but many of the league players actually ended up having a game or two of

union to help the new boys out. That first year the team went through undefeated and actually beat Wests in the Grand Final 7-3. The next few years were extremely difficult as many of the Westpac boys moved on and Rugby League blossomed in Jindabyne. The team never forfeited over these years but many games were played with not a full compliment of players or with what was known as the “Dirty Dozen�. In those days without all four Mugridge boys, the club would not have had any chance of fielding a team. The club has had a few premiership to boast about – the most recent last year when a home grand final saw the Bushpigs run away with the match against Crookwell, winning 44-17. This followed a premiership in 2008, 2006, 1996, 1992, and 1988. While the club started with one team, it now has a ladies team, the Miss Piggies, and four junior teams. It maintains its unofficial motto “A social club with a Rugby Problem�. The Monaro Post tracked down some of the Bushpigs Life Members to record their memories of the club: Club founder, Harry Cummins, has fond memories of the Bushpigs. He made a cameo appearance in the 2009 Golden Oldies match, wearing a tutu – so the other players would know to treat him with respect. This is Harry’s version of events:

Inset: Harry Cummins in his 2009 Golden Oldies uniform, in which he scored a try. Above: The Bushpigs in the late 1980s. Thirty years on, a great story of a small group of young men (some) in a small town who just wanted to play footie and have fun. Picture a carpenter and a sparkie, both with a skinful of beer to boost their imaginations on a Friday night in a packed Lake Jindabyne Hotel. The scene where knee deep in bullshit the seed was planted to create the mighty Jindabyne Bush Pigs Rugby Union Club. With a list of “great� players signed up, most of whom thought a ruck and a maul was what they hoped to get later, (with a bit of luck, sorta). Then with Brian Kaufline throwing out the challenge to play Cooma, with a mighty roar, the Pigs were christened in the swill of delicious beer. Little has changed since in that department, it’s always been the main item on the menu, from day/ night one. So if it’s working “ ‘ave another one�. In reflection I guess the most beautiful thing then was the low expectation of the the sorta dragged together group with no big egos of self importance, only a desire to have a team to be part of and enjoy. Though success has been abundent since, the feeling of the early days has largely remained and is a nice quality in the soul of the club.

the Miss Piggies girls team, the club has grown. Even far beyond the wildest dreams of the the two BS artists propping up the bar so long ago. Whilst it is impossible to name all the great people involved over the years, I feel, being the most senior one, the skinny kid working in the Bank of NSW then, was as keen as mustard to be involved. That same person Mick Swinney (Mags) is just as keen now as he was then, he’s surely got green in his veins. God Bless ya mate, you’re Mister “Bush Pig�. To all the past members and indeed interested people in our Club, who cannot be here to celebrate this great milestone in our history. You and yours I’m certain are with us in spirit and a soft smile will be shared with the memories of wonderful times in their presence. Thank God and fate for the night I met up with me mate, the Kaufline roar and the bet we met. With not a cent to our name we went to the first game in borrowed Cooma high school shirts, with a cargo of dreams to spur us on, we won. And now a short 30 years on, our seed has become a large family tree, with strong limbs and a solid trunk filled with tales of all the fine people involves at every level. With a deep inner respect for all, welcoming attitude, and a genuine concern, where you never walk alone our family-Club is truly a fantastic success. Thank you sincerely Gail of The Monaro Post for inviting me to write this great tale of how the cardgame of life dealt a great hand of aces to two fun-filled tradies, with no limit to their fueled up, no hesitation imaginations. “Ain’t Life Grand in the Irish Emerald Green�. - Harry Cummins

The Aussie Hotel Cooma Cats have bounced back to secure fourth sport on the AFL Canberra Division Three premiership ladder with a thumping win over Murrumbidgee at Snowy Oval on Saturday. The final score was: Cooma 2113-139 defeating Murrumbidgee 6-4-40. After six rounds, the Cats now have four wins and two losses, and sit behind the Goulburn Swans, Belconnen Magpies and ADFA in the 13 team competition. Cats coach Damien Asanovsiki said he was pleased with the way the team had bounced back after the loss the previous weekend to Ainslie. “I was pretty disappointed last week because it was a game we should have won, so it was good to see the boys respond so positively and win well on the weekend,� Damien said. “It proves they can play good football and stick to a game plan when they’re focused on the task,� he said. The Cats also celebrated Mothers Day by holding their annual Pink Game to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer. A special pink Sherrin football was used for the match, and a number of

Double championships for Indya At 16-years-old Indya Povey has been riding since she was four. Recently she has done the Monaro proud as the first person from the area to win anything in her events at the Sydney Royal Easter Show and Grand National Championships for 14 years. Miss Povey and her thoroughbred gelding, Jimmy Choo returned home champions winning two champion rider titles, one first, one second and one third. Indya and Jimmy Choo competed in hack class events at both the Royal Sydney Easter show and Grand National Championships in Sydney against hundreds of the best riders from Australia and New Zealand. Jimmy Choo has been Miss Povey’s horse for a mere 18 months but Indya’s mother, Jackie, claims that they are inseparable. Jimmy Choo is an eight-yearold thoroughbred previously raced in Hong Kong. “It’s really important to have a good relationship with your horse,” Miss Povey explained. From March 21 to 24 Miss Povey and Jimmy Choo competed in many events at the Sydney Grand National

Championships and came home with Grand National Champion Childs Saddle Horse and Grand National Champion Rider 15 years and under 17 years. The very next day, March 25, the hack class events began at the Sydney Royal Easter Show and continued through until April 3. Over the week and a half Indya won first place in the Childs Hack, second in the Novice Hack and third place in The Col A V Pope Silver Perpetual Trophy, for the Best Hack over 15hh which, in the opinion of the Judge, shows Thoroughbred qualities. Miss Povey has been competing in the Sydney Royal Easter Show since she was seven but hasn’t ever been this successful before. “I love everything about horse riding. I love the competition and having your horse work is the best feeling ever,” said Miss Povey. Indya has no plans to seek horse riding as a career however can’t see herself stopping riding any time soon. Next on the agenda for Miss Povey is the Nationals in Melbourne at the end of the year but until then she will just continue to train and enjoy riding.

Indya Povey and her partner, Jimmy Choo.

on the Monaro

After an extensive planning process between the Snowy Aviation Academy at Polo Flat and the Canberra Gliding Club at Bunyan, six pilots who fly from Polo Flat experienced challenging aerobatic manoeuvres that are not possible in their powered aircraft. The light sports aircraft that we see in the skies over Polo Fat are new, modern, economical and fun to fly but they have one limitation that this weekend addressed: they are not permitted to perform aerobatic manoeuvres. This means that training in recovery from inadvertent spins has to be undertaken in larger aircraft under General Aviation rules, or in gliders whose pilots are well versed in the required techniques. Until now this has been up to the individual pilot to arrange, but the Gliding Federation of Australia (GFA) and Recreational Aviation Australia (RAAus) have joined forces to provide this training and hopefully to attract other RAAus

flying schools to take a trip to Cooma and fly in our wonderful clear skies among the mountains. The Gliding Cub at Bunyan put together an attractive package deal which included thorough briefings, three flights in a glider with an experienced GFA instructor, accommodation in the clubhouse and a wonderful succession of food and good company. Pilots included one 16 year old student pilot, Keegan Knott, one of our instructors, David Elliott, and four qualified Snowy Aviation Academy graduates, Lani Smales, Geoff Lever, Peter Duncan and Phil Ridgway, three local and three from Canberra. They thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience as well as improving their flying skills – rather like taking an advanced driving course. Stuart Ferguson and President Jon Blacklock of the Canberra Gliding Club organised everything after the initial approach was made by Mike Apps and they did a magnificent job.
