End of an era - Sarah Kleven

It’s the end of an era for the Shannons Flat school bus. After 50 years, two generations and an inordinate amount of kilometres travelled, the Brown family have sold the Shannons Flat bus run to the Evan’s family from Snowliner Coaches. From a Holden Station Wagon carpooling four kids in 1963 to a Hino 52 seater with 98 kids registered for travel this year, the Shannons Flat school bus has certainly seen some years. For the Browns, it has been more than just a business; it has been a family tradition and an integral part of their community. The bus run began in 1963 when Joan and Len Brown were faced with the necessity of getting their kids and their neighbour’s kids to school in Cooma. It was a humble beginning with Mrs Brown carpooling the kids to school each day on her way to work in Cooma. So began the first Shannon’s Flat bus run in the Brown family’s old

EH Station Wagon with Ian Brown and kids from the Davis, Reese and McDonald families. Very quickly the family realised that this was to be more than just dropping the four kids to school as the demand quickly grew for a proper school bus. In 1964 the Brown family purchased a 14 seater Morris Messenger from Snowy Mountains Authority and the demand continued to increase with rural sub-divisions quickly developing along Mittagang Road. The next upgrade was to a Ford D400 which carried 28 kids and then soon after that was a Bedford which carried 56 kids. The Shannons Flat bus meant that many families who previously sent their kids to boarding school, because of transport difficulties, were able to send their kids to local schools in Cooma instead. The last upgrade was to the bus as it is now, which is a Hino 52 seater. Continued on Page 2...

out of snow and bogs and help kids get around when there has been a flood. That was the system back when the bus run started and it’s still the system we have today. It always works, we always get the kids to where they need to be,” Neil explained. Sometimes there were also challenges inside the bus, but they were always sorted out. “You can have a lot of fun but you need to have your boundaries. Right from the word go there was a set of standards and rules and we always tried to implement them and be firm and fair. Plus the naughty seat at the front of the bus always worked as a last resort. “It was very rewarding to be able to watch the kids start school and then evolve into young adults. The families out Shannons Flat road are mostly long established families and after 50 years there are now families who have had several generations travel on the bus,” Ian said. The Brown family would like to say a big thankyou to the parents and children involved with the Shannons Flat bus run. “It has been a community within a community and it has been a pleasure to run. “We’re proud to be able to hand it over to another local family business and keep the tradition going on,” Ian said. Now that the business has been sold, the Brown brothers Neil and Ian plan to continue driving for Snowliner Coaches as well as their agricultural interests. So they won’t be leaving the bus driving industry just yet and it’s still likely you’ll see Neil and Ian on the road. Snowliner Coaches will commence operation of the Shannons Flat school bus at the beginning of Term 3 2013.

Their work has been handed over to Medicare Local.

Last Wednesday a morning tea was held to mark the end of the Monaro Rural Health Service and to celebrate the group’s achievements over the last 11 years. Past and present members of MRHS attended the function and there were tears and laughter as the group celebrated the end of an era. MRHS has always been funded by the Department of Health and Ageing under a Rural Primary Health Services grant (RPHS) and has also received funding for the past three years from the Preventative Health Initiative (PHI). Sadly both of these grants finished June 30 this year. Medicare local will now fund many of the services, which were previously funded by MRHS, for at least the next 12 months. “The challenge will be putting the local in to Medicare Local and hopefully we’re up to the challenge. I was always impressed with what happened on the Monaro in terms of health. We hope to use members from MRHS as an advisory group in the coming years,” said Chris van den Berg from Southern NSW Medicare local.

EXERCISE PLEASANTLY

The Monaro Rural Health Service has made immeasurable contributions to the health of our community. The service has provided funding to Monaro Family Support Service, Cooma Youth, Snowy River Youth and Paediatric Physiotherapy. On top of this MRHS have supported and conducted projects such as free health checks, community exercise classes, men’s sheds, community gardens and cob ovens. They have also supported Tai Chi and HeartMoves classes in Delegate and Bombala. “The challenge for Medicare Local will be maintaining the broad range of connections that MRHS had as well as coming up with ideas that are unique to the community that they are working with,” explained Anne Lehmann, past chairperson of MRHS. The projects and achievements of Monaro Rural Health Service are both community lead and sustainable and will continue well beyond the life of the grants. So it may be the end of an era but hopefully it will also be the start of a new one.

New Russian flag donated C o o m a ’ s secondary avenue of flags in Bombala Street, has been augmented by the presentation of a new Russian Flag. The flag was presented to Council at its July meeting by Marina Lovarstoff representing the Russian Ethnic Community. In 2000, the Russian Flag was raised in the new avenue of flags. The new flag is to replace the original flag which was starting to show its age. Ms Lovarstoff said the Russian community is often in Cooma and visit the flag. She said the Russian Orthodox monastery near Bombala sees a number of people passing through Cooma on a regular basis and the community felt the new flag had become necessary.

Mayor Dean Lynch accepts a replacement Russian flag from Marina Lovarstoff at council’s July meeting.

Small business brings ‘Big 4’ issues to Canberra The ‘Small Business - Too Big To Ignore’ preelection campaign has moved into its next phase with the unveiling of ‘The BIG 4 You Can’t Ignore’, the top four issues that small business has identified as critical to their survival and success in the lead up to, and following the election. The next phase of the campaign was launched by the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chief Executive Peter Anderson in an address to the National Press Club in Canberra. The BIG 4 are: 1. Cut down on the RED TAPE 2. Simplify the TAX SYSTEM 3. Make it easier to EMPLOY PEOPLE; and 4. Build better INFRASTRUCTURE Using real small business people, the campaign has also developed short ads for the first three of these critical issues, to help tell the human story about how they are affecting small business employers and employees. These are now available on the website www.toobigtoignore.org.au. “Every level of government regulation is suffocating small business and we are now gearing up our campaign with a blueprint of solutions to help small businesses meet their full potential and foster a better nation,� said Gary Ryan, Capital Far South Region NSW Business Chamber Regional Manager. “Our tax and finance systems are impossible for the average small business person to understand and comply with. “Australia has become a very costly place for small business to hire, keep and dismiss staff. And when times are tough, that means jobs and hours get cut. “Our roads are congested, our ports bottlenecked and our rail networks groaning with overuse. “These are the reasons why the chamber of commerce movement has this year devoted so much energy to a nationwide but grassroots campaign, under ‘Small Business - Too Big to Ignore’. “We are creating a movement for the silent majority in the Australian private sector. “It’s a message not

built on actors, not set by scripts; but carved out by the authenticity and rawness of real small business people and their stories. “We say to the politicians of all political persuasions, something real IS happening in the political landscape, starting in our suburbs and towns, and it will go beyond 14th September. “Business people are mobilising. Small businesses may be small voices on their own, but together they are too big to be ignored by our country or its politics.â€? Gary Ryan said the “The Big 4â€? were not aspirational goals for the next government of Australia to pay lip service to but had concrete and measurable targets that the small business community could use to pass judgment: 1. Cut down on the red tape • Make government administer superannuation and paid parental leave payments; • Put in place sunset provisions for all business legislation and regulation, as well as a 1-in-1-out rule that actually works; • Make the Small Business Commissioner a warrior to fight red tape; and • Get more small business in government and less government in small business. 2. Simplify the tax system • Reduce and phase-out payroll tax; • Restore the quarterly company and income tax collection; • Support a trial of a small business credit guarantee; and • Force governments to pay their bills on time or pay interest. 3. Make it easier to employ • Make sure a penalty rates are realistic and don’t make businesses unviable; • Let employers and employees make agreements with the protection of a safety net; • Guarantee a person’s right to work as a selfemployed independent contractor; and • Ensure that increases to superannuation for small business are offset with income tax cuts. 4. Build Better Infrastructure (state specific) • Commit to a Western Sydney Airport at Badgerys Creek.

Architect, Frank Espana’s impression of the the new-look Raglan Galley, plus the floor plan

After a bit of difficulty following up on the NSW Art’s grant from almost 10 years ago, the Raglan Gallery, Cooma Monaro Shire Council and builder John Nassar have finally signed off on the building extension proposal with work set to begin this week. The extension will add an additional large exhibition room to the back of the gallery, provide disabled access, a new car park out the back as well as a new and improved sculpture garden. Cooma-Monaro Shire Council approved a development application at their June meeting and the contracts were finally officially signed last Friday. The extension has been made possible by two initial NSW Art’s grants of $80,000, $50,000 from Cooma Monaro Shire Council, several generous donations from community members including acclaimed local artist Imants Tillers and a generous donation from Member for Monaro, John Barilaro, who has agreed to pay for the windows and doors.

Raglan board members say that they can breathe a sigh of relief now that the contracts have been signed and building has begun. Frank Espana from Sydney has completed the architectural design and the building will be completed by John Nassar from Full On Constructions Pty Ltd. Builder, John Nassar says that the extension should be completed within six months and it will not disrupt the gallery’s usual functions and opening hours. The gallery will be holding a fundraiser night on August 16 so that they can hopefully attain the last bit of money needed to complete the building. Tickets can be purchased soon from the Cooma Visitors Centre. “We hope that the community will continue to be involved and support the gallery. We want to engage the community so that they feel like they have been involved in the process,� gallery director, Cherie Booker explained.

Federal funds for local councils

Member for Eden-Monaro Dr Mike Kelly has welcomed the allocation of federal funds for the three local government areas in the Monaro region. Snowy River Shire will receive $231,053, Bombala Shire $125,059 and Cooma Monaro Shire $246,457. Dr Kelly said the funding - under Round 5 of the Regional Development Australia Fund (RDAF) – would allow the council to deliver vital community infrastructure. “Each round of the RDAF program works differently. Round 4 was highly competitive and, in Eden-Monaro, we managed to win $10million for the Eden Port Development and $500,000 for the Snowy Hydro SouthCare Helicopter,� Dr Kelly said.

“This next round sees councils proportionally allocated funds to build and renew local infrastructure like sporting facilities, libraries, town halls, playgrounds and essential community services such as child care facilities. “It will go towards shovel-ready projects that will allow councils to generate new economic activity and jobs, while delivering infrastructure now and for the future. “This funding is part of our plan for jobs and growth in regional communities like those of the Snowy River Shire.� A total of $1.93m is being allocated to the seven local councils in Eden-Monaro.

Up Skilling Your Workforce is The Future of Your Business

Last Wednesday night the Cooma Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc, hosted a dinner meeting for members to meet the Member for Eden-Monaro Mike Kelly. The chamber will host other ‘meet the candidate’ functions prior to the Federal election. Dr Kelly is pictured with guests at the dinner.

Emergency services report Cooma Police report investigations are continuing into a break and enter at a residence on Dry Plains Road on July 6. Police are examining finger print and DNA evidence. Jindabyne police arrested and charged a driver on Monday morning after reports of ‘aggravated’ burnt outs in the town. The driver was arrested and the vehicle confiscated. No further information was available. Two injured in accident Two patients were transported to Canberra Hospital after a high-speed rollover at Varney’s Range on Kosciusko Road near Berridale at approximately 1pm on Sunday. Both the driver and passenger suffered several serious injuries and were taken to Canberra’s major trauma centre to receive treatment. Gaol blitz Visitors to the state’s Correctional Centres are being warned after five women were charged during a recent state-wide contraband blitz. One women was apprehended at Cooma Correctional Centre on July 6 as part of the blitz. The security operation by Corrective Services NSW (CSNSW) officers and K9 sniffer dogs resulted in five women and one man being charged with bringing drugs and mobile phone accessories into NSW Correctional Centres. In one case a 20-year-old woman was allegedly found smuggling five plastic-wrapped packages of cannabis in her bra at the visitor’s entrance of Nowra’s South Coast Correctional Centre on Saturday. CSNSW’ Security Operations Group (SOG) conducted visitor searches at South Coast, Cessnock, Cooma and Mid North Coast Correctional Centres and at Sydney’s Silverwater and John Morony Correctional Complexes. CSNSW Assistant Commissioner Security and Intelligence Mark Wilson said the operation highlighted a concerning trend of women risking criminal charges by trying to smuggle banned goods to inmates. “Any contraband that enters the prison environment – including illegal and prescription drugs – poses a major risk to the health, safety and security of inmates,’’ Mr Wilson said. “If woman are being pressured to bring in

contraband, or if they believe they are helping inmates, they are taking a serious risk and in addition to criminal charges, will be banned from future visits. Among those charged at the weekend were two women, aged 46 and 37, who attended Cessnock Correctional Centre’s visitors’ entry area on Saturday to see a male inmate. Also as a result of the operation: • A 31-year-old woman was charged after allegedly being found with a balloon containing cannabis at the visitor’s entrance of Cooma Correctional Centre on Saturday. • A 50-year-old woman was charged after allegedly being found with 16 Xanax tablets in the visitor’s car park at John Morony Correctional Complex on Sunday. • A 25-year-old man was charged after allegedly being found with Suboxone wafers and cannabis at the main gate area of Cessnock Correctional Centre on Sunday. Entry was refused to two more visitors at Silverwater Correctional Complex and one at Mid North Coast Correctional Centre over the weekend after various contraband items were found in their vehicles. Mr Wilson said that from 1 January to 31 May 2013, Security Operations Group officer and K9 teams conducted almost 300 visitor search operations at Correctional facilities across the state, resulting in 47 visitors being charged and 183 denied entry. “We’ve never been more serious about preventing contraband from entering our Correctional Centres and visitors can be guaranteed our specialist search teams are a regular presence through rolling operations at Centres around the state,’’ Mr Wilson said.

It is imperative for businesses to recognise the importance of investing in their people to meet their current and future workforce needs. This was highlighted at a recent Cooma Industry and Training Forum. Its focus was in ensuring ways and means that Cooma and the regions remained resilient, viable and competitive in the long run, through partnership arrangements with industry to strengthen the skills base. The clear outcome from the forum was the importance of a skilling investment decision needed to be made if business owners are serious about the future of their business. To this end, the training of people for jobs of the future was identified as being one of the key economic imperatives for our region. The outcomes of this skilling forum will be submitted to the recently formed Economic Development Task Force that has been mandated to address and deliver a report to Council in six months’ time, on the future growth and development of our Shire and Region. I have no doubt that respective industries and businesses in Cooma and the region are looking forward to the deliberations of the Task Force, and their recommendations, in meeting business requirements and community needs in the long run. In the interim, Regional Development Australia Southern Inland (RDASI) are advising that the Australian Government is providing $700 million over five years through the National Workforce Development Fund (NWDF) to meet the future skills needs of the economy by training new and existing workers in certificate and diploma level qualifications, and nationally endorsed skill sets. Under NWDF, organisations can identify their current and future business and workforce development needs, and apply for funding to support the training of existing workers, and new workers in areas of shortages. The funding is available until 2015-2016 and has particular significance for Cooma and the region as 32% of the funding is due to go to regional areas in NSW. For more information regarding how the national Workforce Development Fund can help in skilling your business, and how to apply, I encourage your business to visit www.innovation.gov.au/nwdf

No winners with wind farms the

postman

Editor,

calls

The Postman must be going a bit soft in his old age – he is laughing at things that would have made him cringe 30 years ago. Like, for instance, the movie Crocodile Dundee, which was aired on telly on Saturday night. When The Postman first saw this film, he was super-critical of the story line, the facts, etc, while being delighted with the scenery. Watching it again after a couple of decades or so, The Postman cacked himself laughing (although the inaccuracies concerning crocodiles still made him shake his head). Then, on Sunday, to follow up, there was the Best of the Paul Hogan Show, another show which previously would have been cringe-worthy. But, once again, the politically incorrect, misogynistic and corny humour became laugh-out-loud material. There was something just so Australian and so unsophisticated in the humour which isn’t often seen these days because the PC police won’t allow us to be Aussies in our own country. Bring back the Aussie Larrikin and forget about the PCness! Those Brits don’t like losing their cricket, do they? The Postman is waiting for the Aussies to have to watch a new version of Bodyline, should we ever start winning. It’s a new thing in sport – don’t play to the refs or umpires rules – just appeal. Unless, of course, it’s to one’s advantage...

C’mon on Aussie, come on, come on?

Those in favour of the Boco Rock Wind Farm on the basis of reducing CO2 in the atmosphere will no doubt be cheering that we are on track to make significant progress and soon CO2 levels will decrease and climate change averted. Unfortunately the facts paint a very different picture. The sad part is that those that believe this, and all the rest of us for that matter, have been duped by our government and governments around the world who hold policies in obvious and profound conflict when it comes to emissions, energy and economic growth. And they are rarely brought to account for this conflict. Australia is the world’s largest coal exporter and our governments have plans to increase the amount of coal we export as much as possible. Already Newcastle, the world’s largest coal export port, is in the process of being doubled in capacity. New coal mines are planned through Queensland and NSW and Coal Seam Gas is being exploited and developed at a dramatic rate. In the USA horizontal drilling technology combined with ‘fracking’ has opened up vast deposits of shale oil to the extent that the US is poised to re-gain its crown as the worlds largest producer of hydrocarbons ahead of the Middle East in just 20 years. In Australia huge deposits of shale oil have also been discovered. All over the world, coal and other hydrocarbon resources are being identified and developed. The fossil fuel age coming to an end? I don’t think so. Our Prime Minister has said that climate change is ‘the greatest moral challenge of our time’ . An interesting choice of words but what is clear is that he doesn’t have the morality to actually tackle the problem because he and other world leaders won’t, and have never, sacrificed economic growth for a better environment. And that is the reason why Kyoto and Copenhagen accords and any other attempt to address emissions have failed miserably

and until binding agreements are reached building windfarms is completely useless. Lets be clear about how long we have known about potential climate change. It’s not new - the worlds media has been running stories on it for over 25 years and Kyoto was first mooted 16 years ago. Sure there have been individual countries and states that have reduced their emissions but it is in aggregate we will be judged and the world in total is lifting emissions dramatically. We were told that since the industrial revolution CO2 had been increasing in the atmosphere by two parts per million per year. Now we have found out about possible climate change has it gone down? No, the rate has recently increased to 3.2 ppm per year. We were told years ago that the total amount of CO2 we could emit before dramatic climate change would occur was between 1000 and 1,500 billion tonnes and if we didn’t change we would reach that by 2050. Since 2000 the world has emitted over 420 billion tonnes and we are on track to reach the limit 20 years earlier. There is an old proverb that says if you correctly identify the problem you are half way to finding the solution. It is clear that the main problem is one of the world embracing economic sacrifice and this has not been correctly identified nor discussed. So, there are no winners out of Boco Rock. For those that have convinced themselves that 33 story man made structures on an otherwise beautiful landscape are elegant they are no doubt equally capable of believing that windfarms will make a difference. But until we stop the growth in fossil fuel use there is absolutely no point in ruining beautiful landscapes. In the meantime, my fervent hope is that the climate change sceptics are right - there is not much hope for us if they are wrong. Jim Litchfield, Hazeldean, Cooma.

Mona, an assistance dog in training

/RFDO LQGHSHQGHQW ERRNVHOOHU

the motel o w n e r, t h e y have b e e n able to take on raising Mona until she is old enough to start at puppy college. Mona is a red retriever, five months old, and with a personality which makes it very difficult not to want to hug her and play with her. But that’s not allowed. As an assistance dog, she must be very obedient and focused on her own humans. That is part of the basic puppy training she will receive with the Wynns. As well, she will be exposed to as many different scenarios and situations as possible, in order to make her almost bomb proof. It is not known at this stage what her final job will be – who she will be looking after – but her early training must help her to cope with just about anything. Mona will be out and about in our region until she goes to intensive training. She is easy to pick, with her ‘L’ plates on her coat. She won’t be allowed to cosy up to everyone, so if you really must pat her (and you will), just ask permission of Morag or Steve and let them do the introductions. If you are interested in becoming a puppy raiser, contact Assistance Dogs Australia at www. assistancedogs.org.au. But be warned, saying goodbye after 16 months might be difficult.

– Iain Banks Kit doesn’t know who his mother is. s. What he does know, however, is cerr. that his father, Guy, is dying of cancer.

‘Mona’ wears her L plates when out and about. Please ask her handler to introduce you before you try to pat Mona. The relationships between mankind and animals, especially dogs, has been ongoing for thousands of years. Dogs are being used in a multitude of different ‘jobs’ to assist humans at work and play. One of the more recent canine careers to emerge is that of assistance dogs. Like guide dogs, assistance dogs are specifically trained to help humans. Assistance Dogs can pick up dropped items, open and close doors and cupboards, press the pedestrian button at the lights, pay the cashier at the shops, get the phone, unload the washing machine and alert bark if their owner is in trouble. Assistance Dogs provide constant companionship and unconditional love. But like guide dogs, assistance dogs don’t just magically appear. They have to be old enough to start serious training. Before that, they need caring humans to look after them for about 16 months and give them basic puppy training during that time. Not everyone can be a ‘puppy raiser’. Luckily, Morag and Steven Wynne, who manage the Snowy Mountains Motel in Adaminaby, are two of those especial volunteers. Morag and Steven have always had pets, but in their line of work, keeping pets isn’t always possible. As puppy raisers, they know their ‘ownership’ of their assistance puppy, Mona, is limited. With the blessing of

The Quarry

Feeling his death is imminent, Guy gathers around him his oldest friends – or at least the friends with the most to lose by his death. Paul – the rising star in the Labour party who dreads the day a tape they all made at university might come to light; Alison and Robbie, corporate bunnies whose relationship is daily more fractious; Pris and Haze, once an item, now estranged, and finally Hol – friend, mentor, former lover and the only one who seemed to care. But what will happen to Kit when Guy is gone? And why isn’t Kit’s mother in the picture? As the friends reunite for Guy’s last days, old jealousies, affairs and lies come to light as Kit watches on.

One scheme. One focus on individuals. One commitment to lifelong support. From 1 July, Australia’s current support system for people living with disability is being progressively replaced with DisabilityCare Australia. This new scheme will help provide a better quality of life for Australians with a signiďŹ cant and permanent disability, and for their families and carers too.

What’s new about DisabilityCare Australia? DisabilityCare Australia is a new way of funding personalised support for people with disability. As well as looking at a person’s immediate needs, it will take a lifelong approach and enable people with disability to have choice and control over their supports. It will focus on early intervention, recognising that timely support can minimise the impact of a disability on individuals, families and carers. Assistance will be provided at the right time, rather than only once people reach crisis.

Who is eligible? DisabilityCare Australia will help people who have a signiďŹ cant and permanent disability and who need assistance with everyday activities. This includes people whose disabilities are attributed to intellectual, cognitive, neurological, sensory, or physical impairment, or a psychiatric condition.

Will I lose my current support? No. Your current arrangements will stay in place until you have met DisabilityCare Australia to discuss your needs.

Will it affect my Disability Support Pension? No. Your Disability Support Pension will not be affected.

When does it all begin? DisabilityCare Australia is being rolled out in stages because it is a big change to the current system. Locations that start from July 2013 Barwon region of Victoria ......................People aged 0-64 Hunter region of NSW .............................People aged 0-64 South Australia .......................................Children aged 0-14 Tasmania .....................................Young people aged 15-24 Locations that start from July 2014 ACT ................................................................People aged 0-64 Barkly region of NT ...................................People aged 0-64 From July 2016, DisabilityCare Australia will continue to extend to more locations and age groups around Australia, including Queensland.

The Hub helping Cooma’s homeless youth On any given night in Australia, 105 000 people are homeless. Nearly half of these people are under the age of 25. The Monaro is certainly not exempt from this statistic. Cathy Guion the YMCA’s Youth Project Coordinator at The Hub says that each week in Cooma there can be up to 10 young people out of home. Ms Guion says that there isn’t a lack of awareness but there is definitely a lack of understanding in the community about youth homelessness. “People don’t understand that it’s not a certain type of person that is homeless, it can happen to anyone. Homelessness also doesn’t necessarily mean sleeping on the streets, there are many people who will move from house to house or who live in boarding houses on a medium to long term basis,” she explained. The first obstacle to tackling homelessness is simply that homeless people are, by

definition, transient. Because most homeless people are always on the move, it becomes hard to adequately care for them. If youth are surfing their friends’ couches temporarily, they, will not consider themselves homeless, even if others might. The inability to recognise or track the problem means that homelessness, particularly youth homelessness, is largely a hidden problem. Luckily, The Hub provides a solid base for a lot of kids who may be having trouble at home or sleeping rough. The Hub is a place where kids can go for professional advice and help but also a warm place to sit down and have a meal, use the phone, computers and TV and even store their belongings or use The Hub’s address for Centrelink etc. But above all the team of five at The Hub offer a strong support and referral system for no charge. “If a young person who was out of home walked into The Hub we

would work with them and with Monaro Crisis Accommodation Service and we will always find some kind of solution even if it means putting them in an out of area refuge as a last resort.”

Last month The Hub received a grant of $50,000 from the NSW government that will be used for a total upgrade of the current toilet facilities. This upgrade will include three new toilets, a disability toilet, space for a baby change table, shower and change area and a laundry space. The shower and laundry space will be particularly useful for kids who might be out of home or sleeping rough. The upgrade will make a huge difference not only for homeless

kids but also for anyone that uses the centre. Without services in our community such as The Hub and Monaro Crises Accommodation Service, youth homelessness would be a far greater concern than what it is now. The support and facilities offered by The Hub Cooma goes far above and beyond any other youth centre in any other town and we should feel lucky to have it in our community.

New map books NAIDOC Week celebrations at The Hub help emergency services Emergency services will be able to locate rural and urban properties in Snowy River Shire more quickly and efficiently thanks to the release of a new and improved version of the Shire road map book and posters. Council staff have been working with members of the Local Emergency Management Committee to update a map books that are quick and easyreference to find roads and properties in the Shire. The map books include an index to quickly locate the start point for rural roads and the relevant map sheet for specific rural address numbers. The books were produced by Council

and printed with funding from the joint State and Commonwealth Natural Disaster Resilience Program. The new version of the map book also includes aerial imagery supplied by NSW Land and Property Information to assist with location of dwellings in rural areas. Posters of the Shire showing rural road network and one with aerial imagery have also been produced for rural fire sheds and emergency centres. A public version of the map book and posters will be available for sale to businesses and the general public from early July at Council offices in Razorback Plaza or Berridale.

On June 14 Snowy River Shire Council informed the public that concerns had been raised about the structural integrity of Cow Bed Bridge on Rocky Plains Road. As such, speed had been restricted to 10km/h and weight restricted to 12 tonne. Council also informed the public that a more detailed inspection was being undertaken and further restrictions may be imposed. Council has now received a further report from GO Engineering, which calculates the load carrying capacity across each span. Unfortunately, following receipt of this information, Council has been forced to further reduce weight

restrictions across Cow Bed Bridge to 3 tonnes. Council is in receipt of plans that would allow temporary works to be conducted and raise load limits to 12 tonne but work is not expected to be complete until late August 2013. Council is broadcasting this information via local media outlets, social media and its own website but understand certain residents may have further enquiries.

Bouquet to volunteer presenters Community support for Jindabyne ABC radio For many years 90.5FM Community Radio Station has been providing music to suit all tastes as well as news and community notices. The station runs 24 hours a day seven days a week and is manned entirely by volunteers and does its own fund raising. The Station would like to invite

you to become a Presenter, training will be given and of course you play the music you like. No age limit. Please contact Margaret Faulkner or John Gill for enquiries on 0402 866 943 or 64453157. We would love you to join the Happy Team.

Parties interested in maintaining ABC FM and JJJ Radio services to Jindabyne recently requested Snowy River Shire Council to consider the formation of a Section 355 Committee to support these services. After careful consideration, council decided that the preferred option will be for the formation of an independent support group rather than a Council S355 Committee. A group, independent of Council, will allow

greater flexibility in determining the best future direction for the ABC radio services in the Jindabyne area. Council will no longer maintain the current services installed on Council’s Water Tower and encourages the Support Group to meet and determine the group structure and future for the radio services to the Jindabyne area.

Watch out for crews in fog and icy conditions As the mercury drops across the State, Essential Energy is urging the public to keep an eye out for crews working on the electricity network in fog, snow and icy conditions. Cold snaps, strong winds and even blizzards can occur in winter in the Alpine, Central, Southern and Northern Tablelands regions causing an accumulation of ice on powerlines and potential disruptions to the power supply. Essential Energy’s regional manager South Eastern, Phillip Green, said powerlines were designed for the climatic conditions, however, a build-up of ice on the wires could result in sagging or breakage. “Farmers and operators of agricultural machinery near the overhead electricity network should be aware that extremely cold conditions can put downward pressure on powerlines,” Phillip said. “When we experience these weather conditions, it’s important to exercise extreme caution – plan a route to stay clear of powerlines and other hazards,

and maintain safety clearances at all times.” Essential Energy crews can be called out at any hour to repair the electricity network after severe weather events such as storms and blizzards, often working in sub-zero temperatures on frozen and wet ground. “You can always identify Essential Energy crews by their high visibility clothing and safety signage which should act as a warning to the public to stay clear of work zones,” Phillip said. “Motorists are asked to remain vigilant when travelling in icy conditions and watch out for emergency response crews who will have fog and hazard lights operating but could be difficult to see.” Residents are reminded to keep an eye on the weather forecast and have a safety kit handy if a cold snap or blizzard causes power supply interruptions. Essential Energy recommends your emergency kit include: • a flashlight with a supply of batteries • candles and

Jindabyne night bus Snow lovers staying in and around Jindabyne no longer need to worry about organising transport home after a night out with the return of the late night bus service for the 2013 snow season. “The Jindabyne late night bus service is now in its 15th year and provides an alternative travel option for locals and holiday makers who want to head out and enjoy a few drinks but don’t want to drive,” Member for Monaro John Barilaro said. “Jindabyne’s population balloons during winter and drink driving and other alcohol related offences increase. “The buses provide a safe and reliable way for people to get home after enjoying a few drinks and aim to stop people drinking and driving or walking home drunk. “The decision to get behind the wheel under the influence of alcohol can often be a fatal one. “For two dollars, partygoers can leave their car keys at home and grab a seat on the bus to and from their place of residence. “The late night bus services will operate until Saturday 7 September between 9.45pm and 2.30am on Wednesday,

Friday and Saturday nights. “The buses pick up and drop off passengers along a designated route stopping at key bus stops as well as supporting venues with a security guard travelling on every service. “This year changes have been put in place to both the timetable and route of the bus which is a result of monitoring and feedback from local business and the community. “The Discover Caravan Park has also come onboard to support this road safety initiative this year. The park will now feature as a stop along the route and visitors will be able to use the late night bus service to and from Jindabyne safely,” Mr Barilaro said. Timetable and route information is available on the Night Bus website at www.nightbus.com. au. In addition a QR code which links users to the night bus timetable and map is available to scan with smart phones. The code appears on Night Bus posters and flyers in supporting venues. The service also has an iPhone or android app available on iTunes for free download.

waterproof matches • a portable radio with spare batteries to keep you informed of the situation • non-perishable food, a can opener, and fresh drinking water • spare warm dry clothing and blankets • a first aid kit and essential medications • a list of emergency contact numbers, including Essential Energy’s 13 20 80 Supply Interruptions number.

16 News Mineral processing at home will create more jobs Palmer United Party candidate for Eden Monaro, Dean Lynch, says processing Australia’s mineral resources within our borders will create more revenue and jobs for Australian families. Mr Lynch said incentives should be provided by the Commonwealth of Australia to establish downstream processing in Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and New South Wales for minerals mined from Queensland and Western Australia. “Processing our mineral resources in Australia will naturally create more jobs and more income for Australia,” Mr Lynch said. “Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and New South Wales are all ideal places to establish processing plants and this will share our mineral wealth around the country. “More jobs mean more revenue – it’s as simple as that.” The Palmer United Party plans to field candidates in all 150 House of Representative seats at the upcoming election as well as Senate teams in all states and territories.

Fire-fighting blowers for local brigade The Colinton Rural Fire Brigade has received funding under the NRMA Insurance Community Grants program for the purchase of two firefighting blowers. The powerful backpack blowers are used to create a rapid fuelfree perimeter around a bushfire, grass fire, or hazard reduction burn. Brigade Captain Graham Povey says that small rural brigades depend on the generosity of corporate sponsors and individual donors for much of their equipment. “While rural brigades are basically funded and equipped by the Shire, we depend on community grants and the generosity of members of the community for much

of our smaller but essential equipment,” he says. “Smaller items like chainsaws and backpack blowers are part of modern firefighting,” says Captain Povey. “Our brigade members are all trained as fire-fighters, and we encourage each of them to become qualified as chainsaw and blower operators. “Every extra skill and every extra firefighting aid can make a difference.” NRMA Insurance today announced the state-wide results of the 2013 Community Grants program. The Colinton Rural Fire Brigade received $1700.00 for the purchase of two blowers and ancillary equipment such as covers and brackets, to allow the blowers to be securely carried on fire trucks.

The Colinton RFS will make good use of two fire-fighting blowers, courtesy of an NRMA community grant..

Aussie Dollar Falls, RBA Holds Interest Rates

Heather Anoleck Dip FMBM

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

What is a mortgage broker? Do you charge a fee? Why come to you instead of my bank? Can you see me after business hours? I have had quite a lot of positive feedback from people who have seen my ad, and a lot of questions! Many people have no idea of what a broker actually does, so I thought I would take the opportunity to explain what I do, and what you can expect if you come to see me. No, I don’t charge you a fee! My income comes from commission paid by the lender, and is fully disclosed to you. The lender doesn’t charge you extra either. I am happy to see you at a time that suits you. Evenings or weekends are fine by appointment. I can help you with any of your home loan needs. If you are looking at buying a new property and need a loan, or if you have an existing loan and want to review it to make sure you are getting the best deal for your circumstances. With so many different lenders, and so many different loans, it is hard to know what will suit you best. When I meet with you, we will have a discussion & I will ask questions to determine what is important to you. It is then my job to sift through the available options, and make a recommendation to you that will suit your individual circumstance. You may have a preference for a particular bank, and I will consider that as well. You may want to stay with them, but it is still worth comparing the options. I can provide you with an in-depth comparison, which will calculate the difference in rates & fees, and give you a comparison over both a long term and short term view. I will explain why I have recommended a particular loan or lender, but the final decision is always yours. I am also your one contact through the whole application process. I gather the information from you, submit the application on-line, and keep a close eye on the progress. Once approved, I go over the loan documents with you to make sure they are correct, and that you understand them. I like to take a total care approach, and will maintain regular contact with my clients to ensure they are happy, and I can handle many servicing issues with the home loan as well. If you need a top up for example, or switch to a fixed loan. I also have contacts that can help them with financial planning, or personal insurance, and can organise a referral to see an expert. So, whatever your situation, it can be worth a call to have a chat and see if I can help you.

The official cash rate, the lowest in 53 years, remained at 2.75 per cent to counteract the recent falls of the Australian dollar but is forecasted to drop again with the slowdown of nonmining sectors. Loan Market Director Mark De Martino said lower interest rates were injecting activity into the home finance market and suggested the prospect of another rate cut would create competition between lenders who wanted to gain market share. “The looming federal election is creating uncertainty about exactly where the economy is heading but most lenders are anticipating further rate reductions, evidenced by their continued aggressive moves with fixed interest rates,� Mr De Martino said. “Homeowners looking to save money should make sure their lender has been making the same competitive moves as others,� Mr De Martino said

Mr De Martino said that with a cloudy economic outlook for the next several months, fixed interest rates were particularly attractive in both price and the security of locking in a record low interest rate. “Most two year fixed interest rate products are nearly one percent lower than variable, there’s considerable savings to be had for those who don’t anticipate variable rates averaging that in the next two years. Mr De Martino said that prospective homeowners would benefit from the lower interest rate environment but warned borrowers that the current historic lows wouldn’t be around forever. “When you’re setting up a budget for your home loan you should consider how future rate rises will impact your repayments. Borrowers on the standard 25 year term will see their interest rate go through many different rate cycles,� he said.

Home Shoppers Favour Fixed Interest Rates Enquiry for fixed interest rate home loans has reached a postGFC high as lenders drop rates on both one and two year products, says leading mortgage broker Loan Market. Loan Market director Mark De Martino said that June enquiry for fixed rate products represented 40 per cent of monthly enquiries, which was a 2013 record, and was a result of fixed rates reaching lows not seen in several years. “We’re approaching a point where fixed rate products may be first consideration for homeowners. Over the past year, consumers who have fixed their interest rates have enjoyed paying rates that are roughly 100 basis points lower than those on variable rates,� Mr De Martino said . “Those locking in their interest rates have been enjoying both the security of knowing their repayments won’t change and also paying less than those on variable rates,� he said. Mr De Martino said that while current interest rates were an obvious factor in choosing whether or not to go down the fix

or variable route, but it was crucial for homeowners to assess how future rate movements would impact their budgets. “One of reasons fixed rates are so popular is that most homeowners do not expect variable rates to average the present one and two year fixed rate terms rates over the same period. While the RBA is forecasted to drop rates again, its unlikely in borrowers minds to be a to be a big enough drop to close the gap between fixed and variable home loans.� Mr De Martino said that what was likely to close the gap was lenders becoming more competitive with variable rate pricing. “Lenders have been making lots of noise that the cost-offunds pressure that kept them from moving rates in synch with the RBA have eased. These funding improvements are paving the way for lenders to drop their variable rate prices, regardless of RBA rate movement, in a bid to gain market share,� he said.

Schute Bell wool report The final sale before a three week recess caused a jump in the national offering to just short of 50,000 bales. The market struggled to maintain last week’s price levels at first particularly the medium types however somewhat of a turn around occurred on the final day of sales. Finer types showed their first hint they may have some life in them yet and recorded solid gains for the week. 44,416 bales were sold nationally for the week with a passed in rate of 9.5%. Major buyers included Techwool, PJ Morris & Tianyu. Historically the three week recess has not been kind to us with the build up in volume particularly in the Northern region causing downward pressure on the market

when sales resume. The average fall in the market over the past ten years during the first two weeks after the recess is 22 cents with only one year in the past ten recording two positive weeks back to back. History does not necessarily have to repeat itself with a slowing economy in China hopefully more than offset by a return to consumer spending in the USA. It’s still early days in any US rebound but it’s starting to look positive for one of wool’s important markets. Auction sales across the country are in recess for three weeks and recommence the week of the 5th August.

Heywire: Tell your story and make a real difference ABC Radio’s Heywire initiative provides a powerful platform for young Australians to speak their mind and create change. Now is the time for rural and regional Australians aged 16 – 22 to submit stories about their community and the issues that affect them. Submissions can be made via text, video, audio and/or photography. Winning stories are presented on ABC Local Radio, ABC Radio National, ABC TV and abc.net.au. Competition information can be found at abc.net.au/heywire Entries close Monday 16 September 2013. The winning entrants will travel to Canberra in February 2014 for the week-long Heywire Regional Youth Summit, where they will share experiences, gain leadership skills and develop ideas for change. The Summit culminates in a public forum held at Parliament House, where the winners pitch their big, bold ideas to politicians, funding bodies and policy makers. “I know it sounds clichĂŠ but it was life-changing – it enabled me to turn my passion for agriculture into something more and it’s the first step to actually making your ideas happen,â€? said Tiffany Davey (Konnongorring WA), a Heywire 2012 winner. In the competition’s 16th year, Heywire has grown into an outstanding online community for young people to express

their inspiring ideas and tell the nation about what matters to them. Heywire resource guides are available online for secondary teachers to tie Heywire into their teaching curriculum. The Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Joel Fitzgibbon, said; “Young Australians from rural and regional areas have great stories to tell and this competition gives them a platform to do just that. In 2011 Cessnock local Jessica Faustini was one of the Heywire winners so I am very familiar with the innovative work produced. Heywire is a competition that bridges the divide between cities and regional Australia and equips these young people to become leaders in their communities.� Heywire acknowledges the support of the Australian Government through the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, the Department of Regional Australia, Local Government, Arts and Sport and the Department of Health and Ageing.

Farmers revegetate 70 million hectares

FOR SALE

A new report released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics has found that Australian farmers revegetated almost 70 million hectares of agricultural land in 2011-12. CEO of the National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) Matt Linnegar said that the data shows just how important a role Australia’s 157,000 farmers play in managing the natural environment. “70 million hectares is 10 percent of Australia’s landmass, or almost the size of NSW – all of which, says the ABS report, has had its vegetation protected or regenerated by farmers,� Mr Linnegar said. “The two main reasons for this were for livestock production and for environmental protection, which shows that agricultural productivity and looking after the environment can go hand in hand.

PH: 0419 639 724

“The report also shows that weed management and fencing off or excluding stock are both important practices that farmers undertake on their farms to help look after their land. “A second report, also by the ABS, has found that almost one third of Australian agricultural businesses set aside 8.4 million hectares, or an area bigger than Tasmania, on their own properties for conservation – and where natural environments existed, over half of all these businesses protected these areas for conversation purposes. “These two reports reaffirm what we already know: that farmers care deeply about the land they work on, and that the sustainability of the natural resources that farmers rely on – land, water and air – are critical factors for Australia’s agricultural sector.

“All up, Australian farmers own, manage and care for more than half of Australia’s land, which means they really are at the frontline of delivering environmental outcomes on behalf of the Australian community. “Farmers are active participants in programs like the national Landcare program - founded 24 years ago by the NFF and the Australian Conservation Foundation – undertaking sound land management practices and sustainable productivity. “In fact, according to a recent survey by the National Landcare Facilitator, some 93 percent of Australian farmers practice Landcare on their farms. Australia’s farmers really are Australia’s environmental stewards,� Mr Linnegar said.

Minor adjustments have been made to boundaries of local Rural Fire Services. Monaro District Rural Fire Service had earlier proposed adjustments be made to the brigade boundaries of Cooma, Nimmitabel and Numeralla to improve the delivery of fire management services for Kybeyan, Cooma and Numeralla.

This followed from a meeting last August to discuss RFS response arrangements for their localities. The changes also include the construction of a brigade station at the Kybeyan hall, approval for which is still pending. The changes to the boundaries are shown on the accompanying map.

Snowy Mountains district womens bowls The 35th Annual meeting of our district was held at the Country Club on Monday 8th July. The attendance was very disappointing. The annual migration north for the winter could partly account for it, also the winter flu etc. However, the number was still less than anticipated, there were many apologies. The reports from the clubs was very satisfactory. Our financial report shows that we still have money in the bank! Our biggest expense was assistance to our players, who won at district level, to assist them with their expenses when they went on to represent us at the regional level. Congratulations to these players.

The office bearers for the coming year are as follows; President: Leonie Snell Vice Presidents: Hazel Walker, Rae Blyton Secretary: Fiona Richards. Treasurer: Fiona Richards Match: Del Turner, Bridget Corby, Tracey Sanders Publicity; Beryl Seears Historian; Lorraine West Patron; Ethel Rankin Congratulations to Fiona who again took on the dual role of Secretary/Treasurer She did a fabulous job and I am sure that she will get the assistance of all the members if she should ask for it at any time.

Cooma Tigers’ winning Sunday

Cooma Tigers recorded four victories at Nijong Oval last Sunday. Pictured are Tigers players: Zach Schoon, Gair Wik, Jarod Tonini, Iain Elliot and Stacey Kelly,

Red Devils score two good wins over Yass The Cooma Red Devils travelled to Yass on Saturday ready to take on Yass in what was a pivotal game for both sides. Second grade took to field ready to continue with their impressive season so far and with second position up for grabs on the ladder it was always going to be a close game. With warm over head conditions both sides started slowly and for the first 10 minutes, Cooma had much of the running but handling errors stopped the Cooma side from gaining the upper hand. Yass scored the first try of the afternoon after they were able to capitalise on one of Cooma’s mistakes and score a try out wide. Cooma was building good pressure but handling errors were costing Cooma with a number of try scoring opportunities been blown due to dropping the ball or loose carries that allowed Yass to turn the ball over and get out of their own end. Cooma was going forward on the back of strong runs from Adam Schofield, Aerial Miners and Tommy Maxwell, while Matt Jamieson and the Schouten brothers were instrumental in defence shutting down any of the attacking raids from the Yass side. Cooma was next to score this time it was Tommy Maxwell who was able to pick up the ball as it shot out of the scrum and dive over, Nathan Boate was unable to convert but it was back to a 5 all ball game. Just on half time Yass was again able to score after they picked up a dropped ball and dived over under the posts to make it 12-5 at half time. Cooma came out in the second half and were ready to take it to Yass but it was Yass

who scored first to take a 17-5 lead. This spurred Cooma into action and with Cooma getting their hands on the ball and starting to play the field position that they had talked about at halftime. Cooma worked their way down field and after attacking down one side of the field were able to spread the ball quickly and Trent Henderson was able to dive full stretch and score in the corner. Mat Crowley was unable to convert but it was back to a seven point ball game. With fresh reserves coming on, Cooma lifted its intensity and again it was the back line of Cooma who troubled Yass and Neil Schouten, playing his 100th club game for Cooma, was able to dive over out wide and score. Brother Ben Schouten missed the conversion. With time running out and the warm conditions taking its toll on both sides, Cooma had momentum but Yass had a two- point lead at 17-15 with time all but up Cooma was awarded a scrum 55m out from the Yass line, with the ref saying that it was the last play of the game. Cooma had the scrum feed and as the ball shot out the back, Jack Fitzell scooped up the loose ball, sprinted the 55m and ran over the winger on the way to scoring the match winning try. Neil Schouten was unable to convert but Cooma had come away with an epic 20-17 point win. Points in second grade 1 point Cody Henderson and Adam Schofield, 2 points Neil Schouten, 3 points Aerial Miners and player’s player Cody Henderson. First grade First grade took to the field ready to build

on their recent form and from the kick off it was clear Cooma was ready to play. From the opening whistle Cooma was making life difficult for Yass with strong defence pushing Yass backwards and creating plenty of turn over ball. Cooma was able to score first points after the Cooma forwards were able to get a roll on with good quick pick and drives getting Yass on the back foot. The backs then spread the ball wide and Matt Lee scored in the corner. Ryan Morgan was unable to convert but Cooma was off to a good start. Cooma was in again moments later after Tom Laddams was able to cut one of the Yass outside backs in half when Yass chanced their arm and tried to run the ball/. The forwards were then able to make good metres through the middle of the field which saw the backs use the ball and spread it wide. This time Alex Moon was able to score, but again Morgan was unable to convert. Cooma then shut off for the next 15 minutes and this allowed Yass to get back into the game with three tries of their own and that gave them the lead. Cooma regrouped on the back of strong runs from Damien Hopkins, Jimmy Nicholls and Josh Fraser, while in the backs Alex Moon and Ryan Morgan were getting around and through their opposite numbers. Yass were then awarded a scrum five metres out from their own line after Cooma knocked on while attacking the line. Cooma then pushed Yass’s scrum back on its self and Phil Johnson was able put

his hand on the ball and score an easy try. Morgan converted and Cooma was back in the game. Cooma then attacked the Yass line for the last few minutes of the half but were denied further points. Cooma came out in the second half and took the game to Yass and it was not long before Cooma was applying pressure in both attack and defence. Cooma regained the lead after Damien Hopkins was able make a break and go straight through the defence and go into open space only to be pulled down short of the line. From the ensuing play Cooma was able to score when Tim Cassanova ran clean over his opposite number and scored next to the posts. Morgan again missed but Cooma was in front by three, this was extended when minutes later Cooma opted to take a penalty goal to extend the lead by six. Cooma then rounded out the game when Phil Johnson collected the ball 60m from the Yass try line, beating the winger and getting into back play with only the fullback to beat Johnson kicked in field with a bomb/chip only for it to be caught by the winger from the other side. As the winger caught it Tim Cassanova cut him in half with a text book tackle, jarring the ball loose, the ball popped out back into Johno’s hands who scored under the posts. Cooma then held on for a 32-19 victory. Points in first grade 1 point Tom Laddams, 2 points James Strange, 3 points James Nicholls and players player was Phil Johnson.

Fillies still undefeated for the season

ROUND 17 NORTH MELBOURNE V CARLTON HAWTHORN V WESTERN BULLDOGS ST KILDA V PORT ADELAIDE GOLD COAST SUNS V COLLINGWOOD

The score in no way reflects the hard work same group combined and off the back of a Cobargo to slip through. A dominant kick-chase from the line break and quick hands through Bolton, of the Cobargo Eelettes, but at the end of Fillies continued to put pressure Steel and Nichols, Lee got her fourth of the the day, Cooma were able to capitalise on on Cobargo’s attack, but day. Cobargo fought back and made half Cobargo’s handling errors and the powerful the Eelettes matched the breaks through the line, but Cooma’s defence hit ups of the Fillies were too difficult to powerful boots of Bolton held strong and they were unable to break defend against. Players’ Player this week went to Patrice and Ingram to test the through. Alana Nichols penetrated Cobargo’s skills of Meg Bracher and line deep into the Fillies own half and left Ingram, who was indefatigable in attack and Abby Schofield at the defenders in her wake, but was caught only defence, while Alana Nichols got 3 points for meters from the tryline, which positioned Lee her outstanding line break; Georgie Clarke back. Lee was at it perfectly to grab her fifth and final try for the was awarded 2 points for her dominant again and relieved day, making it the second time this season defensive efforts and the consistently hardworking Tracy Frazer and commanding the pressure of that she has scored five in a match. Pocket rocket Brianna Von Der Burg all-rounder Alicia Bolton shared 1 point. Cooma’s field The girls have next weekend off for the position, outpacing evaded defenders on the wing to race 40m the defence to score and score, and with only minutes left on the competition’s wet weather catch-up round, despite losing her clock, Kate Schofield rounded out the day before facing Merimbula-Pambula-Bombala in boot mid-run, before with a try of her own, only inches from the Bombala the following Saturday. Bracher shimmied sideline, which brought the final score to 46past multiple defenders 2. Pictured, Maree Ingram. a n d matched her efforts. W i t h back to back conversions by Bolton and Schofield, the game looked to be set at 24-0 at half time, however a defensive lapse 15m out from the try line gave Cobargo a penalty, and, opting to take the '($/ '($/ '($/ kick at goal, Cobargo’s Kristina Dummett slotted the ball over /DUJH 3L]]D /DUJH 3L]]D /DUJH 3L]]D the black dot to bring the score 5DFN 5LEV *DUOLF %UHDG *DUOLF %UHDG to 24-2.

AFL 2013 Tipping Competition

On a balmy Saturday afternoon in Cooma, the Fillies took on the Cobargo Eelettes in the only game between the two clubs for the round. The Eelettes were hot off the back of their defeat of Eden in their previous match and were keen to continue their good form against the Cooma girls, however the Fillies proved to be too strong for the coastal team. Cobargo were put on the back foot from the kick-off, with Maree Ingram easily collecting the ball deep into the Fillies own half and racing the length of the field to open the scoring. This opening play kicked the Eelettes into gear, and though they worked hard in the middle, handling errors prevented them from building their assault. Cobargo’s defence held solid and Cooma matched them tag-fortag, with Patrice Ingram and Georgie Clarke punishing in all facets of the game. In the 10th minute of the game and with good field position, Jade Lee was able to pounce on a loose ball and after weaving through the defence, crossed under the posts. Kate Schofield converted, and the score sat at 12-0. Cobargo rallied and on the back of a penalty, had Cooma cemented on the try line and on the back foot. Strong defence from Kirrily Carberry and Tracy Frazer held the Eelettes out, while Alicia Bolton directed the girls from behind the line and ensured that there was nowhere for

Cats still in with a chance despite loss to ANU The Australian Hotel Cooma Cats have dropped to sixth on the AFL Canberra Division Three premiership after a close loss to competition front runners ANU at Snowy Oval on the weekend. The final score read: Cooma 12-981 defeated by ANU 13-12-90. The nine point loss sees the Cats half a game outside the top five behind Belconnen with four games remaining in the 2013 season. It was always going to be a tough ask to beat ANU who have been a regular grand final team in recent years, and on current forms look the goods again this year. Nevertheless, Cats’ coach Damien Asanovski was pleased with the efforts of the Cooma side who fought the game out to the final moments and greatly improved their competitiveness compared to when the two sides met earlier in the year. The Cats are now involved in an enthralling battle with Belconnen and Ainslie to clinch fifth spot on the table and a chance to play finals footy in late August. The Cats have a good run ahead of them over the next three weeks

with games against Murrumbidgee, Ainslie and Gungahlin who are all placed lower them on the ladder. The final game of the season will be against Belconnen which is shaping to be the Cats biggest game in 20 years. But before that, the Cats need to secure a win against Murrumbidgee this Saturday. They play at Stirling Oval in Canberra with first bounce at midday.

Thredbo St Moritz season underway After a delay of one week, due to snow conditions, the Thredbo St Moritz Ski Club season 2013 is now well under way. Beautiful blues skies and a warm sunny day, with just enough snow to have some fun on, greeted us on day one. This year sees the club with 39 students, all keen to learn, improve and have some fun on the slopes. Once again the instructors are being led by Peter with Robin returning for another Thredbo St Moritz season, and three new instructors, Max, Tom and Charlie. The following week the snow gods must have been listening, as a few days before our next Sunday session

at Thredbo the snow began to fall in earnest, just in time for week two of the school holidays and our four day mid week ski program. The mid week school holiday program provides consecutive days of learning for the kids and enables them to practise what they have been taught each day and implement what they have learnt. This is an intense week and really works on the kid’s skills, fitness and perseverance. Not to be left out the parents are having a great time in their lessons with Meta and all involved look forward to their next class with her.

Keegan

sets his

sights Cooma teenager, Keegan Knott, has achieved his Pilot’s Certificate with Snowy Aviation after juggling schoolwork and other sports. He flew with Mike Apps, the Chief Flying instructor, for his final test, but most of his training was with David Elliott, another of the school’s instructors. Like most teenagers, Keegan mastered the theory and passed his exams with flying colours and has become a competent pilot.

His next step is to train for his cross-country endorsement and gain his passenger carrying qualification so he can take his proud dad, Steve, for a flight. His mother, Amanda, is less sure of flying but equally proud of her son’s achievement. Pictured: Keegan Knott. Inset: Keegan Knott at the controls of his training aircraft.
