Fight against wild dogs Local concerns about the wider ramification of wild dog predation across the Monaro were aired at a special meeting at Cooma Ex-Services Club on Monday. Organised by the NSW Farmers Association, the meeting attracted more than 100 people. They heard, and saw, the flow-on affect of wild dog attacks on livestock and the resultant loss of productivity of grazing land, loss of income, emotional difficulties and their impact on the local economy.

conference room was near capacity as a total of nine motions were put to the floor. Issues covered by the motions included pest population data collection, transparency in program finances, Pest Animal Controller training, Dingo conservation zones, increased monitoring of the effectiveness of local Wild Dog/Fox Management Plans (WDFMP’s), and greater communication between stakeholders. All motions were passed. President of the Cooma COOMA AREA* branch of NSW Farmers, Michael Green, acknowledged that whilst “it’s local knowledge that makes the plan work,” the lack of oversight of local WDFMP’s, which operate autonomously, had potentially reduced the efficiency of some plans. In addition, the lack of

communication channels between working groups had resulted in the fragmentation of data relating to wild dog and fox population control. A motion to counter this was put to the floor, suggesting “the Cooma Branch of NSW Farmers coordinate the formation of a stakeholder group with representatives from all the wild dog/fox working groups to oversee the WDFMP’s in the South East”. As a consequence of the motion passing the first meeting of this group will occur on May 30 at the Cooma Ex-Services Club. The newly formed stakeholder group will initially aim to revisit the motions passed, as well as address the more general issue of program funding and interaction with politicians, including at a ministerial level. The devastating social and economic impact of stock loss caused by wild dog and fox attack was reinforced in a presentation to the meeting by Dr Penelope Marshall, who explained the results of her PhD research: “Playing for Sheep Stations: Management and Control of Wild Dogs in NSW, Australia.” Amongst her findings was the disenfranchisement of farmers as a result of successive government policies. The presentation was keenly received by the audience, who rejected the chairs attempts to adhere to time restrictions in order to hear more from Dr Marshall.

Shire checking on tourist and short term accommodation Snowy River Shire Council advises tourist, short term accommodation owners and property managers that it is undertaking random inspections of short term accommodation premises commencing now and over the winter months. Owners and operators are advised to undertake a pre-season check to ensure: • the existence of a valid development approval that allows for the premises to be used for short term accommodation; • the premises do not exceed the number of beds approved; • a notice is prominently displayed within the premises stating the number of persons approved to stay in the accommodation; • that no opportunity exists for more than the approved number of persons to be accommodated; e.g. fold out bedding; • understand and acknowledge that no persons are to be accommodated in rooms or locations other than as per your development consent under any circumstance;

• ensure completion of the annual submission to Council for the current Fire Safety Statement. • Acknowledge and understand how to manage waste correctly; ie, to only put out bins the day prior to collection days and to remove them from the public space/ road side within 24 hours. Any breaches of the above will be the subject of legal action without warning and may result in court action, formal notices and/or penalty infringement notices. Examples of breaches include but are not limited to: • exceeding the sleeping numbers allocated in the development consent; • renting your home for short term accommodation without development consent; • provision of unlawful/ unapproved accommodation areas Please note garages, basements, sheds, caravans and lofts may not be let out for accommodation purposes. Also note if renovations are conducted to accommodate persons, these will also

constitute an additional breach. Council’s Manager of Regulation and Compliance Yvonne Menere explains that “our winter industry is very valuable to this area and its community. “Many of our accommodation providers do the right thing; however there is a small minority that undertake activities without obtaining Development Consent. Illegal operators are warned that the Regulation & Compliance Unit will be taking a hard enforcement line in dealing with unlawful accommodation and illegal activities within our Shire”. If you are unsure about the terms of your development consent, or what you need to do to gain development consent for your intended purposes, please contact our Environmental Services Team on (02) 6451 1195. Alternatively if you have any compliance enquiries, concerns or complaints please forward them to records@snowyriver. nsw.gov.au for attention Regulation and Compliance or call (02) 6451 1195

General Manager, JOE VESCIO

I am pleased to announce that the doctors from Jindabyne Medical Centre have now moved to the new Snowy River GP Super Clinic. The practice will continue its usual service from this new and exciting location. The move came earlier than expected and is due to substantial efforts by the construction team as well as the good weather experienced during the construction period. The doctors are the first to move into the new Clinic, with other allied health professionals due to open their doors before the June long weekend.

Possible compromise on development A long drawn-out issue about building in Nimmitabel was again aired at last Monday night’s Cooma-Monaro Shire Council meeting. Mr Paul Cozens, who owns two lots in York Street, Nimmitabel, has been trying to get permission to build a house on one of them. He cannot do that until York Street is constructed. At present, the street has no road surface. A sealed laneway runs behind the lots in the street, however. But this laneway is not considered adequate access under council’s planning laws.

END OF FINANCIAL YEAR STOCKTAKE SALE

The external surrounds of the building are not quite finished but it is fantastic to get the doctors in and settled before the start of winter. There is still landscaping and tidying up to do but inside is finished. Council is really pleased with construction progress and welcome all new tenants to the building. The address of the Snowy River GP Super Clinic is 5 Thredbo Terrace, Jindabyne and access is from the lower floor where there is ample parking

Mr Cozen has stated his case to council before – last Monday, in open session, he told council the long delay in gaining permission was taking its toll on the health of he and his wife. At council’s April meeting, it considered an application to build a house on Lot 18. It agreed to the application, under the conditions of consent which require the construction of York Street to council’s relevant road standard. The matter was deferred to the May meeting so a report could be prepared. Canvassing options for the construction of the street. Preliminary estimates were $85,900 including kerb and guttering or $61,500 without kerb and guttering. If this cost was divided by the seven lots in York Street, the cost per block would be $12,271 or $8785. The entire street would be required to be constructed before a certificate of occupancy could be issued. In discussing the item at the meeting, councillors were sympathetic to Mr Cozen’s situation. Cr Craig Mitchell said asking the applicant to pay 100 percent of the cost was contrary to council’s kerb and guttering policy and the construction of the street would be of benefit to the whole town, not just the developer. Cr Bronnie Taylor agreed with Cr Mitchell, saying council is “always talking about growing our towns and communities”. Cr Winston Phillips said he thought it was unreasonable to have to have a road to that standard in that location. He said he couldn’t really justify the cost of the road in comparison with the value of the blocks it would service. Cr Tony Kaltoum said “under the law he is a developer. That is the way it is”. “Under the DCP council can change it – but the money (for the construction) has to come from somewhere”. Cr Martin Hughes said he was “struggling a bit with this”. “Staff have a good argument, especially in regard to setting a precedent – but I’m looking at what’s fair and reasonable. Mayor Dean Lynch moved an amendment to the recommendation, which read:. That the owners of Lot 18 York Street be advised to consider a Planning Agreement that would apportion the staged construction cost of constructing York Street from Clark Street. The apportionment should be calculated between the seven existing vacant lots that would directly benefit as Council believes this will benefit the growth of Nimmitabel.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Schizophrenia Awareness week Schizophrenia Awareness Week is an annual event that takes place in May, helping to provide an insight into various mental illnesses and raising community awareness in regards to the support available for both those who care and those living with the illness. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event begins on the 18th and continues until the 24th, boasting a range of events, including an information display in Centennial Plaza from 10am â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 4pm on May 22. The vision of the Schizophrenia Fellowship of NSW is to create â&#x20AC;&#x153;a society in which people with mental illness are valued and treated as equals.â&#x20AC;?

There are a range of services that are a part of this Fellowship who aim to meet this vision, including the Southern New South Wales Partners in Recovery, the Personal Helpers and Mentors Program (PHaMs), Mental Health Respite and Carer Support and Carer Assist. Each of these programs provide support in many different ways, Partners in Recovery (PiR) is a new national initiative to assist people who are living with a serious and persistent mental illness and who have complex needs. On an individual level, a PiR support facilitator will work with participants to connect them to recovery services in order to help the participant achieve their goals. Existing case managers will also work closely with the support facilitator and other agenciesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; support staff, to ensure case management functions and existing relationships are maintained.

A Road Safety Alert for Spectacular Road Transportation At a recent update report by CWP Renewables on the Boco Rock Wind Farm project, Council was informed of the progress of all construction and supporting works. In short, foundations to most of the turbine bases were in place, cabling has been installed for jointing, and civil works were completed with the delivery of two transformers. To enable other key hardware to be transported to the site, local roads were upgraded, signage installed along key roads advising of heavy vehicles and slowing construction traffic. Appropriate communication and media coverage commenced. The big event of component delivery was ready to roll out in late April 2014. The start to the transport period of the turbine components has been a success, with deliveries of between four and five loads typically being delivered efficiently and safely each day. Many residents have been turning out at either Bombala or Nimmitabel to watch the spectacular loads come past, or to get some very special photos. In these circumstances, spectators and travellers along these transport routes are strongly advised by CWP, the Police and Council to be vigilant in their safety considerations. Depending on the component being delivered, the trucks are over-mass and over-size / over-length. This means they will travel more slowly along some sections of road (between 60 kph and 90 kph on the open road), and will take up the full road width to turn some corners and bends. As such, trucks will always be accompanied by both a pilot and escort driver who are in constant radio contact with the truck driver. This allows them to ensure other road users can approach trucks, and safely overtake at the appropriate time. The safety message is clear. If you do approach a vehicle carrying an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over-size vehicle aheadâ&#x20AC;? sign, police and professional transport advice is to slow down on approach, and follow the instructions of the escort driver. If you are waved on, overtake with caution, and take care not to overtake on a bend. While a transport period of up to six months has been proposed, given the successful start, it is likely that deliveries will be completed ahead of schedule. For more details about the schedule, or if you have any transport concerns, or feedback to provide, please contact the Communications Officer for the project; Siobhan Isherwood, on 0401 976 251.

Intake on 1800 006 841. The PHaMs program was created to help people whose lives are severely affected by a mental illness - it is a recovery-focused program, following the belief that people can recover from mental illness and lead satisfying and rewarding lives. Everyday tasks like using public transport, housekeeping and budgeting could be made easier through the use of the PHaMs program, as well as this individuals will be encouraged to be involved in social or community activity groups, improving their personal skills and confidence. A personal helper will value you as a unique person, be understanding and treat you with respect and dignity. Contact Abbey or Alan at the Cooma PHaMs office on 6452 4690. The Mental Health Respite and Carer Support Program is one that is aimed at carers and provides a break or opportunity for â&#x20AC;&#x153;time outâ&#x20AC;? from the caring role. Support staff will individually tailor service for carers, introducing participants to a range of social and recreational activities to remain connected with the community. The program also aims to

ensure the maintenance of carersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; own physical and mental health. Some areas in the Monaro Shire are covered by the program. Carers may also live outside the Cooma-Monaro Shire and will be able to access the service. Carer Assist is an organisation that help families and friends in various ways, including finding diagnostic and treatment services, providing information and support to cope with grief, providing assistance in building support systems and providing information on how to live with someone who has a mental illness, to name a few. The Carer Advocates work together with other non-government organisations, Local Health Districts, community health organisations and any other organisations or groups that are involved in a carerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. Carers are provided with information, education, advocacy and support, building a trusting network that aims to help those who give up their time helping others. All of these services are available to residents across the Monaro, if you feel like you could benefit from the service of any of these organisations, give the Carer Assist Cooma Office a call on 6452 4075.

Monaro High School committed to quality Paula Boer to launch Brumbies in the Outback at Snowprint Paula Boerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soon to be released book, Brumbies in the Outback, will be launched at Snowprint Bookshop, Jindabyne on Saturday 7th June at 10:30am. Paula Boer started her lifelong love of horses at age 7. Since then she has competed in dressage, eventing and show jumping, but her real passion is endurance. She has raced the native horses in Mongolia, climbed the heights of Colombia on horseback, and competed in endurance rides around Australia, claiming the best way to see a place is from the back of a horse.

Pictured: Jack Clayton (vice captain), Kailey Tonini (captain), Tim Caldwell (captain) and Hayley McKinnon-Campbell (vice captain).

Monaro High School principal Adrian Bell is proud of his school and of the students who learn there. The school, now 60 years old, has a proud history of academic, cultural and sporting achievements. Established to cope with the increasing numbers of secondary students during the construction of the Snowy Scheme, the school has evolved to be the vibrant learning centre it now is. Mr Bell is enthusiastic about the prospect of students being able to complete their learning from kindergarten through to university by utilising local schools as well as the Cooma Universities Centre. MHS is part of the Monaro Community of Schools with eight partner primary schools. It is also a partner in a secondary network with Jindabyne Central School and Bombala High School. It also has close ties with St Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parish School and Snowy Mountains Christian School. Many of their Year 10 students complete their secondary studies at MHS. Over the past few years MHS has finefine

From her own experiences of catching and breaking in brumbies, and remembering how much she loved reading Elyne Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Silver Brumby series as a youngster, Paula decided to write a series of novels set in the Snowy Mountains. The first in the series, Brumbies, became an Amazon â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Best Sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in 2012. Since then, Brumbies in the Snow and Brumbies in the Mist have been released. To celebrate the launch of Paulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth book in the series, Snowprint Bookshop is running a photographic competition. Take a photo of a horse or brumby (strictly no photo shopping) and drop it into Snowprint Bookshop or email it to contact@snowprint.com.au with your name, age and contact details. The competition is open to any age. Paula has kindly donated books from the Brumbies series for the best brumby photos (wild) and the best horse photos (domestic). Entries may be used in future marketing for the Brumbies series. The competition closes at 3:00pm on Saturday 31st May.

Millions of Paws walking for RSPCA

6452 0313

BOMBALA COUNCIL GENERAL MANAGER: Ms Ngaire McCrindle

The draft 2014 Operational Plan, the 2013-2017 Delivery Program and associated budgets were adopted by Council at an Extra-Ordinary Council Meeting held on Monday 19 May. These documents provide Council’s plans for the delivery of services and infrastructure improvements until June 2017. They form part of the suite of documents Council is required to produce under the Integrated Planning and Reporting requirements of the NSW Government and have been developed following community consultation. These documents are now on public display and Council is keen to hear from community members regarding any issues or concerns community members may have. Comments on the documents will be received by Council up to close of business on 18 June 2014. The draft documents, together with submissions received, will then be put to Council for consideration and final adoption prior to June 30th 2014. Copies of the documents are available at Council Chambers, Bombala Library, the offices of the Delegate Progress Association and the Cathcart Store. The documents are also available on Council’s website: www.bombala.nsw.gov.au.

The RSPCA’s annual Million Paws Walk was held in Cooma and Berridale last Sunday. The walk raises necessary funds which help keep local branches functioning. Pictured above, Cooma branch treasurer Merren Bertolin with regional branches manager Malcolm Wilbrow. Right top: ‘River’ was set for a fun day out. Right bottom: Ash, Tallie and Ransom had Luke on a lead.

Federal Budget impact for business Kathy Kelly, President Cooma Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc The Federal Budget released by Joe Hockey on behalf of the Government had little in it for business however it also didn’t extend the pain to business either. “There was very little in the way of tax changes that will impact our members”, President of the Cooma Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Kathy Kelly, said. However families and youth will be impacted and in turn this may impact consumer spending. The Budget did confirm that the Superannuation Guarantee Rate (SGC) is to increase to 9.5% from July 1. This change had been legislated when Labor was in Government. Prior to budget night the current Government had been attempting to slow down the increase in SGC however the legislation did not get Senate support. The budget last week confirmed the rate increase will now be accepted, however it is intended to stay at this level until June 30, 2018 and then increase by 0.5% each year until it reaches 12%. The company tax rate is to fall

from 30% to 28.5% from July 1, 2015. Whilst this will be a win for many small businesses, Kathy explained that for many it will just be a timing difference as many companies clear their profits with wages and dividends to their owners at which time the extra tax to meet the personal rate will need to be paid. Many businesses will need to ensure they tax plan as it may be wise to clear dividends out of companies prior to 30 June 2015 to ensure the top up tax is limited and double taxation avoided. Taxpayers in the highest tax bracket – being those that earn in excess of $180,000 p.a. will pay a temporary budget repair levy of 2% on their income that exceeds $180,000. This will apply for three years from July 1. To ensure integrity of other taxes the fringe benefits tax rate will increase from April 1, 2015. A big win for retirees was the announcement of the intention to fix an anomaly in the superannuation excess contributions tax. Kathy

indicated “this is a tax that is a penalty and is meant to ensure contributions into superannuation are limited. However genuine errors can trigger this tax which is disproportionate to the benefit achieved”. Kathy gave the example of taxpayers who didn’t realise they had an insurance policy set up within a super policy. The taxpayers had just sold the family farm and so contributed significant funds to set up their retirement. They did not try to claim a tax deduction for the amounts put into superannuation, however the contribution triggered an excess contributions tax of over $80,000. The budget seeks to address this injustice and ensures the transactions are undone so that the taxpayers are not unduly penalised nor are they advantaged by having their funds in super. There are other changes with bonuses for employing older Australians who have been unemployed for some time as well as changes for apprentices with the elimination of tool

allowances from July 1 and the introduction of trade assistance loans of up to $20,000 over four years. The loans are only available for specified trades where they are on the National Skills Need List and in conjunction with Certificate III and IV courses. The loans will be reduced by 20% if the course is completed successfully. Another uncertainty for small business is the planned removal of certain concessions. It was announced prior to Christmas that the following measures would be abolished as part of the removal of the carbon tax: • Small business immediate asset writeoff to be reduced back from $6,500 to $1,000 • Small business immediate deduction for the first $5,000 of a motor vehicle purchase • Removal of the company loss carry back provisions Although these measures were to be removed, small businesses may wish to take a chance and buy new small assets or motor vehicles in the hope that the measures may stay in place a little longer.

from the private property. Council has not determined whether to replace the section of footpath. Council regrets any inconvenience that the removal of this section of footpath will cause.

MONITOR YOUR WATER USAGE Your water meter provides a quick and easy means of monitoring your household water consumption. It is advisable to check your meter on a regular basis to ensure that there are no hidden leaks within the pipework. Leaking pipes can waste a lot of water – particularly if they are underground and the leak is not noticed. If your house is going to be empty for a period of time over winter, turn the water meter off to ensure that pipes do not freeze and burst. Water meters are to be made accessible to Council at all times for maintenance and operational reasons. Consumption Charge – based on annual consumption 2013/14: 0 – 300 kilolitres - $1.47/kilolitre Over 300 kilolitres - $2.32/kilolitre

A few tips on how not to waste water in your home: • Try to limit your shower to 4 minutes; • Dripping tap, change the washer, a dripping tap can waste about 20,000 litres of water per year (approximate cost $30 based on 0 – 300 kilolitre usage); • A leaking toilet wastes up to 16,000 litres per year (approximate cost $24 based on 0 – 300 kilolitre usage); • Use the plug when rinsing vegetables or dishes; • Only run the dishwasher with a full load. For further information visit www. savewater.com.au or contact Council on 6455 1777.

PAVEMENT UPGRADE AT THE GLEN WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY Work is in progress to upgrade the pavement and improve subsoil drainage at the wastewater treatment facility. The work is expected to take three weeks to complete.

Exciting European adventure Cory Byrne and Amelia Mortlock Capri. A long awaited day for many. Catching the Jetcat to the island of Capri was even a beauty. The view of Mt Vesuvius was amazing. On arrival at Capri we were given some time to explore the shops before ascending a train which would take us to the top of the hill to begin our journey to Tiberius’ Villa, the garden of Augustus, and the natural arch. The walk had provided us with knowledge of the surrounding area of Capri. The houses were beautiful and shops quite small unlike the ones here at home. The walk to the Natural Arch (rock formation) delivered astonishing scenery, it was definitely worth the walk. Sadly as time was against us we could not visit Tiberius’ Villa, the garden of Augustus. We journeyed back down the hill. Grabbing a gelato or two was essential as well as doing some shopping. Once the Jetcat arrived we ventured back to Sorrento and may have had a doze or two on the ride. Walking back up to the bus, one of us hadn’t moved over quick enough as a car came through and they had been clipped with the side mirror, lucky she was all right. Dinner was given again in the hotel and re-packing was on everyone’s schedule for the morning’s departure. Bag packed and ready to go onto Rome, but first the ascending of Mt Vesuvius. Some travel documents may have been left, luckily for someone reminding they remember the one hidden under the mattress. The unknown weather left concern about whether or not the climb will go ahead. The drive around the bay showed the greyed clouds hovering around the volcano. As we got to the car park, the climb was still on. For some it was exciting, but for those whom did the grey clouds fool thought it wasn’t going ahead and wore the wrong attire. Jackets were thrown on as the cold breeze was proven too much. As the cloud prevented the view of the crater, frozen, complaining bodies were pushed to move on. As most were continued to walk around the crater the worst had happened. Rain started to pour. People ran to the sheltered area at the top of the crater, umbrellas were pulled our and some had even broken in the force of the wind. Thankful cover had come, drenched students had declined Mt Vesuvius to hop back onto the bus, cold and wet. The 3-4 hour drive to Rome was thankful to come to an end. As we had again stopped in the middle of the road in front of our hotel, bags were chucked out and grabbed. Our roommates were again given along with keys. The fight for the best bed was definitely on. After a quick settle down we took a walk around the area to visit the lovely sites around. Elizabetta even took us past one of the best Gelato places on her list. She was not wrong. An evening talk was provided by Agnes Crawford on Classical Rome, who gave us her extreme knowledge of the area and the legends brought with it. Dinner was provided in the hotel and the sight of salad made our hearts throb. Bed then came soon enough. Having been given a talk on Classical Rome the previous day, we started off at the Circus Maximus and then continued onto the Colosseum where a local guide, who gave us further information, accompanied us.

this chapel. More time was again needed to be able to look up the outstanding beauty he had performed on the walls of this chapel. Unfortunately no photos were allowed. As we all gathered towards the exit of the chapel we had exited onto the front steps of The Vatican and were standing where many other Popes had stood. Time was given to either go to the top dome of the Vatican or venture off and do some shopping. As we were shopping, we tried to bargain our way down to a more reasonable offer for a jumper. 20 euros was offered but he would only take it if we did him a favour. He had asked ‘Mrs Australia’ for a kiss upon the cheek. That was our cue to leave. As time was up, we met back up and walked to the restaurant Goose. The food was outstanding. Just wanting more of everything. As dinner came to an end, the bus arrived out the front of our restaurant; the majority had soon drifted off to sleep. Today was the last day of the ancient side of the trip. Hadrian’s Villa was first on the agenda. We were taken by coach to the entrance and continued ourselves up the road to villa and were shown a complete layout of what Hadrian’s Villa had once looked like. Hadrian had built this for himself in the time of his ruling and for other significant figures and placed several hundred slaves there to maintain it. A guided tour around the Villa showed us many places and building which would once have been beautiful. During the decline of the Roman Empire, the villa fell into disuse and was partially ruined. In the 16th century, Cardinal Ippolito II d’Este had much of the marble and statues in Hadrian’s Villa removed to decorate his own Villa d’Este located nearby. After the visit to the Villa we took a coach which transferred us to an area located near the Spanish Steps, where we were given time for lunch. Pizza was again eaten for lunch. The amazing Gelato shop with a chocolate tap was found by most. Some could argue it was the best from the entire trip. Elizabetta had walked us to the Spanish Steps. Along the way we found many Gypsies deceiving people out of their money. The Spanish Steps were crowded by near thousands of people. Sticking tight to people was essential as well as guarding our belongings in hope of not being pick-pocketed. Little time was given to venture around as we were running behind on time. A coach had picked us up and took us back to the hotel. Bags were packed to ready for our departing flight to Brussels the next day. The great staff at our hotel had opened up the restaurant much earlier than normal as we needed to be at the airport ready to depart at 10:25am. Concerns of being overweight, bags were weighed by scales brought by students and parents. Many were just on the limit of the 20kg mark and others were well under. As we checked into the airport bags were weighed and sighs of relief were spread among. Boarding couldn’t come soone enough.

This day had been the coldest by far. Those who were not prepared for the cold weather had become frozen. The walk around the Colosseum gave us an insight of how the locals had once enjoyed their entertainment, as it was a marvelous piece of work. After what had seemed only 10 minutes, we walked up to the entrance of the Roman Forum. The Roman Forum gave incredible detailed forms of original buildings from when the area at been a Central area of the Roman time. Having seen so many temples they had created and rebuilt, we continued onto a wonderful market area where we were given some time for lunch. Slices of pizza were as cheap as chips. 0.97euro cents for a slice of margarita pizza was the bargain of the day. We had then been given an orientation tour of Rome’s historical centre, which included: The Pantheon, Pizza Navona, Campo dé Fiori and The Trevi Fountain. These amazing sites gave us a real taste of what the Roman culture had once been. After an extremely busy day we had to walk back to the bus and we taken back to our hotel and soon departed again to a local restaurant. The local restaurant was only big enough to cater for us, having them booked out whilst we were there. The entrée had seemed big enough for the main, leaving many stomachs full but still have to at least eat some of the

rest of the two other courses. Back to the hotel it was and Wi-Fi was provided for the much needed catch up talk with our families. Day 8 we were taken to visit St Peter’s Basilica and The Vatican. One desired to see the Pope Francesca and a few had even bought matching shirts with Pope on the front for this certain day. Before visiting anything we given a few hours to spare around a local area to have lunch and shop our lives away. Agnes Crawford had met us outside of the entrance to The Vatican Mueseums, including the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica, and lucky for us we were taken through the quicker route to cut the line going on for kilometers. Agnes had given us a quick talk about the significant areas we were to see. Upon entering we were already separated by the massive swamp of other individuals visiting the area. Luckily for our ear pieces we were still able to gather relevant information provided by Agnes. Extremely magnificent artworks, paintings and pieces were overwhelming these rooms, only wishing we had more time and a lot less people in the room to be able to stop and see every single one of them. The Sistine Chapel was the next mission. Pushing our way through crowds, being told to be quiet while looking up at Michelangelo’s beautiful paintings he had embarked within

Your local Award-winning newspaper

Onya, Tony and Joe the

postman calls

Last week’s Budget has stirred up a bit of an ants’ nest, especially in regard to copayments of medical bills. While The Postman agrees to some sort of co-payment for some people, he does accept that there are many people on a low, fixed income, who are facing a pretty bleak winter already, without funding extra costs. Our local Salvation Army has already told us about how people suffered through last winter. With gas prices about to increase by nearly 20 percent, their plight is not looking too brilliant for this winter. Maybe politicians should walk a few kilometres in the shoes of the people who are going to be hardest hit before they impose more cost on them? Sometimes, when The Postman is staring blankly at the TV screen, something flashes across it which makes him yell. Like the claim by a dishwashing manufacturer that using a dishwasher to do the job uses less energy than washing dishes by hand. How is this so? The only energy used in the manual version is that of the human doing the job. As for the claim that filling a big tin tank (dishwasher) with water uses less water than a small kitchen sink, well, really… It’s almost as irritating as the ad for the robot vacuum cleaner – you know, the one that does it all for you? The Postman wants to know how many times that little robot has to be emptied when it cleans a whole house. As if that wasn’t enough, there’s the ad about being depressed and hounded by debt-collectors. The only thing making The Postman depressed is listening to the ad! Thank heavens there are books and newspapers to cater for The grumpy old Postman!

Editor, Onya!, Tony and Joe, a big tick although it does little to alleviate the bigger crosses associated with parental leave and Badgerys Creek. The clucking and flapping amongst the gaggle of profligate Premiers at the suggestion that they exercise some fiscal responsibility was a joy to behold. You do need to improve your aim though as I am sure that the kick in the guts complained of by the Premier of Sydney was intended to be a well deserved boot up the backside. As with the Federal govt., State govts. have inherited bloated and inept bureaucracies and have done nothing about them. John Hewson’s proposals for a GST, destroyed by Paul Keating and the ALPBC’s ghastly Kerrie O’Brien are looking very sensible. The GST was intended to replace sales taxes but the States rorted that by changing the names of taxes. The recurrent sales tax on motor vehicles is a classic example. There are a large number of selffunded retirees who saved and

invested when an aptly named birdbrain was exhorting us to borrow and spend. We do not expect nor get handouts – most of us do not qualify for the senior’s health card. We do not attend bulk billing clinics so already are paying substantial co payments plus the full Medicare levy plus health insurance. We don’t object to that but do object to our taxes being used to pay pensions to millionaires. You would not know about this of course because most of us don’t live in Sydney. Did anyone notice that NZ has just delivered a surplus budget? They understand how to use limited resources to the best advantage and 80 percent of their population does not live in giant slums milling about with their hands held out. The 20 percent here who do not live in capital cities are already doing more than their fair share of the heavy lifting. Noel Carter, Cooma

I don’t quite get the current trend for outdoor kitchens. Sure, they look very nice and all but while I’m all for a good-sized barbie (but not a gas one – give me barbecuing over coals any day) and a comfy outdoor setting for eating, I don’t quite see the point of a complete kitchen with sink, wine fridge, oven, hotplates etc, etc, etc, in the backyard when you have all that inside where you can prepare and cook (if not using the barbie) without the mozzies that are just sweating on you walking out that door and the flies that are praying you bring food with you when you do. I kind of feel the same way about outdoor lounge rooms. Again, they look good but if you decide you need to add a fireplace and a telly... well...you already have that inside somewhere and guaranteed the indoor lounge is going to get a lot more use once the novelty of having an outside one wears off. Besides, who’s going to sit outside in the winter to watch TV? Certainly, the humble backyard has come a long way and people are making a lot more practical use of them by creating inviting outdoor spaces, which is a wonderful idea but having said that, I still don’t quite get the inside-out trend. Okay, so maybe I am a bit out of

sync with all the current outdoor design thingies but on the other hand, when it comes to alfresco, what do you really need beyond a good-looking barbecue and a nice outdoor dining setting where you and your family and your friends can kick back to eat, drink, swat bugs and be merry? Do you honestly need a commercial grade kitchen out there complete with all the gizmos and how much use is an outdoor lounge room complete with fireplace and television anyway? Why would you even need to have a television outside? An outdoor “conversation pit” is a cool idea but why contaminate it with a telly? If you want to watch TV you can always go back indoors. Yes, as I said, outdoor kitchens and lounge rooms do look nice. Very nice actually, I readily admit that. But they are also pricey to set up so unless you know without a shadow of a doubt that you will spend a whole lot of time, all year round, cooking in that outdoor kitchen and chilling in that outdoor lounge room with the outdoor fire and telly on, then I’d guess you’d have to ask yourself if it’s worth what having that whole shebang will probably cost you. But they do look really good... Maybe I could be coerced after all... But no TV! Definitely no TV!

Snowy Men enjoy visit to National Museum Stan Dingeldei Well here we are again May 6 and it is another get together for the Snowy Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Group. Another month gone from the last time we met, amazing how time flies! This time it is off to â&#x20AC;&#x153;the big smokeâ&#x20AC;?, Canberra, to take a wander through the National Museum. With 23 happy souls aboard in a nice little bus, just after 9am when we left the Werri-Nina Centre in Cooma. The sun is shining not too cold it looks like being a pleasant day. First stop is Bredbo where morning tea is on, good cakes and cookies are plentiful, where everyone gets stuck in with gusto.

After everything is packed away it is off we go non-stop to Canberra arriving about 11.30 am. We have a short briefing of procedure and are issued with a hearing piece with which we can easily hear the commentary by our tour guide, a young lady named Clare. As most people know the Museum was built on the site of the old Canberra hospital which was opened in 2001, a wonderful venue for a public building right on the edge of Lake Burley Griffin. The building is of a contemporary design with lots of colour and with all significant features being pointed out by our guide. Of course the Museum has a very national flavour about it, everything

from convict days to our manufacturing expertise, from an original Sunshine harvester to our first motor car the FX Holden. Our unique animals have pride of place. They even have displayed the massive heart that was taken from the great race horse Phar lap. The culture of the indigenous people is very well portrayed. In all it is a wonderful place to make one realise what has been achieved by our forebears, their hardships and privations are clearly spelt out. Anyhow, after an hour or so the tour is over, with an unanimous thank you to Clare for her professional guidance, now it is outside where everyone was happy to

sit down and have a sandwich or two with nice cakes and drinks. You are a great cook Meagan Power, your cakes and cookies are top shelf, no two ways about it! Now it is back to Cooma, all aboard and off we go, the group were very quiet on the way back, heads nodding and little chatter it was a fairly big day for most. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure everyone enjoyed their outing. Just the fact of getting together and enjoying each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company is good Once again thank you Lee and Community Services for making the day so enjoyable.

Pictured, the Snowy Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group listen intently to the guide at the National Museum, Canberra on theisr recent visit.

This neat and tidy 3 bedroom home is ready to move into and iss waiting for its new owners.

Double Digit Home Loan Growth to Start 2014 Figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) today revealed that home loan approvals grew 11 percent in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 2013. Loan Market director Mark De Martino said record low interest rates and strong real estate sales were the catalyst for the highest Q1 growth since 2002. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first quarter of 2013 only grew two percent from the previous year so to see first quarter of 2014 rebound so strongly means consumer confidence has rapidly returned,â&#x20AC;? Mr De Martino said. Mr De Martino pointed out the data released for March showed a small

one percent drop from February and that April would likely show little, if any growth because of the extended holiday period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The key to maintaining the same levels of approvals and purchasing is low interest rates. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has been very clear that rates are likely to stay where they are for an indefinite period of time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By setting a rate-hold mentality, home owners and buyers will remain confident knowing their repayments will stay low and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saving money in interest charges,â&#x20AC;? Mr De Martino said. The data for all states showed Q1 growth with

New South Wales and Queensland leading the way at 15 percent. South Australia and Western Australia both grew nine percent and Victoria six percent. Mr De Martino said the ABS stats showed particularly strong growth in March for new home purchases, up 13 percent from February and refinancing of existing dwellings, up 12 percent for the same period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even without cash rate movements by the RBA, this data supports the fact competition between lenders is high and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re attracting new customers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cash rate has only dropped 50 basis points over the past year and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing

11 percent quarter-onquarter growth for home loans. Whilst the low cash rate is the primary

driver, the lack of rate movements hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slowed down growth,â&#x20AC;? Mr De Martino said.

One of the most common questions I am asked is â&#x20AC;&#x153;how much do you charge?â&#x20AC;? The answer is â&#x20AC;&#x153;nothingâ&#x20AC;?. While I am entitled to charge a fee, I choose not to. My income comes from commission paid by the Lender, if and when a loan settles with them. I then receive an upfront commission payment, plus will receive an ongoing monthly payment. You also donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about the Lender passing on the cost to you. You will get the same rates and fees, (and sometimes lower), that you would, if you deal directly with the Bank. So, why should you see me about your loan instead of your Bank? I am committed to getting my clients the best deal to suit their individual circumstances. I have access to multiple Lenders, most likely including your own Bank. So if you want to stay with them, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine. I endeavour to make the process as simple as possible for my client, and I am there every step of the way, to ensure you understand and are happy with everything. I am available at times to suit you, not just business hours. So whether you are buying a house, looking for a better deal on your home loan, or just want some general information, I am happy to meet with you to discuss your options. For those clients needing advice on other financial needs, such as personal insurance, superannuation, or retirement planning, I am very confident in referring them to Damian Toms. Damian is a senior financial adviser, who has already helped out several of my clients, and feedback has been extremely positive. Ask now about arranging a no-cost obligation free appointment.

Cooma’s Finest Contemporary Home Open house Saturday 24th May 11am Property Investment Q & A

595 Mittagang Road - $560,000

All Your Property Investment Questions Answered! All your questions answered each and every week. Why? Too many investors jump in and buy the wrong property! With the correct education and know how you can avoid the mistakes and traps others make and gain maximum returns. This week’s questions from local Monaro Post readers:This week I am just going to answer one question today because it is a common question. Q1) What is a safe investment? This is a great question, because unfortunately so many people do not invest for their future due to fear and so many do invest but do it poorly and some lose money. So what makes a safe investment? There is no doubt Bricks and Mortar when done correctly is a safe investment, it would have to be one of the safest as it is tangible, you have control you can sell it if you want to or keep it. Unlike other shares and commodities where a CEO of a company can make decision and effect your investment overnight. If you invest wisely in property history shows it does not lose its value over night, yes there is corrections in the local market as every location at different times around the country experience different property cycles. So this is one of the first points of safe investing in property. Buy at the start of an upward swing in the property cycle for that city, so you have 3 to 7 years of growth before a slight correction normally before it starts its next upward swing. I just mentioned buying in a city, this is another way to invest safely in property. Invest in Capital cities or Regional Cities with 7 or more economic pillars, what that means is a diversified industries, where people can work and economically drive the city. For example what does Cooma have, Tourism, Agriculture, Government (Defence call centre, Prison, Snowy Hydro etc). When you invest in property to pay for the property you need a tenant and tax benefits. So always invest where there is a low vacancy rate, Australia’s average is generally around 3.5% so ideally you want it lower than this. For example we have clients investing in selected locations on the Sunshine Coast where there is a .06% vacancy rate, a major shortage, GOLD for investors. When it comes to Tax, only buy new properties, as these have the maximum tax benefits, plus you only pay stamp duty on the land saving you approx. $10,000. Last and not least educate yourself before you act. If you have any questions on Property Investment, be it with new, established, houses, apartments, SMSF, NRAS, Renovating, Planning, Financial Structures you name it, please do not hesitate to email peter@prosperitygroup.com.au. Here to help you save, money, time and stress! I look forward to answering your questions next week.

Fightback against Dieback on the Monaro Amongst the grey skeletons of the Eucalypts on the hillsides surrounding Berridale, there is new life heralding the beginning of the fight to reverse the catastrophic loss of trees that has occurred in the last decade. Last year the Upper Snowy Landcare Committee established a Dieback demonstration site at the property Bellambi, just north of Berridale. In the Spring a mix of Eucalypts and wattles was planted at the 4 hectare site and, despite the heatwave conditions of the Monaro Summer, the young plants are emerging from their tree guards and are heading upwards. Chair of the USLC, Ms Robin Sevenoaks, is ecstatic about the progress that has been achieved at the demonstration site. “Since 2005 we have seen the dramatic decline of the main Eucalypt species, the Ribbon Gum (Eucalyptus viminalis) in our landscape as repeated defoliation of the trees by insect attack by the Gum Weevil and Christmas Beetles has finally caused the death of these trees” she said. “To see success in establishing new trees in the area affected by

Dieback gives hope that we can restore the tree species to our landscape”. The success of the tree planting is due to the care given to preparing the site for planting. In Autumn 2013, an excavator using a single tyne ripper was used to deep rip a small area for each plant. The deep ripping helps with moisture conservation and also makes it easier for the roots of the growing plant to extend into the subsoil. Often a bulldozer is used to deep rip lines for planting but this creates a lot of ground disturbance leading to invasion by weeds, which can compete with the tree seedlings for soil moisture. By using the excavator, the area around the individual plant retains its groundcover and prevents the invasion by undesirable weeds such as thistles and perennial grassy weeds. In Spring 2013 the site was planted with a selection of Eucalypts and shrubs. The species included Ribbon Gum, Snow Gums, Candlebarks and Yellow Box. To protect

the seedlings from insect attack, an “Initiator”® tablet, which contains a slow release pesticide and fertiliser, was placed under each plant. Despite the lack of rain over Summer and the heatwave temperatures, there has been a higher than 80% survival rate at

the site, with good growth rates and, most importantly, no insect damage. The demonstration site, which was established using funds from the Caring for our Country program, was established to trial three main techniques for combatting Dieback in the area. As well as the revegetation work, the USLC is also demonstrating the effectiveness of pesticides to protect any naturally regenerating saplings from the insect attack and also to stem inject mature trees with the pesticide Silvashield® to prevent further defoliation. This work is an extension of the trial work that was successfully undertaken by Sydney University in its study of Dieback in the Berridale area. The site has also been fenced to see if stock management will allow for enhanced establishment of new trees from any remaining seedbank in the soil and also to protect the newly planted trees. “The work at the demonstration site is the first

step in showing landholders the techniques that they can use on their properties to both protect any existing trees from Dieback and also the techniques that they can use to successfully establish replacement trees on their properties”, said Ms Sevenoaks. “Our next step will be to explore ways in which we can assist with the implementation of these techniques across the landscape”. Upper Snowy Landcare Committee has a small grants program to assist landholders address the Dieback problem on their property. The assistance will be directed towards revegetation works, regeneration work and also pesticide protection for existing vegetation. Further details may be obtained by contacting Anna Rudd, USLC project officer, at the Cooma office of Local Land Services on 6452 1455 or by email anna.rudd@ lls.nsw.gov.au

monaropost.com.a u monaropost.com.a u monaropost.com.a u The fight against wild dogs continued from page 2 Graphics composed by the Cooma Branch of NSW Farmers, some of which have been shared with readers here, illustrated the impact of stock losses beyond the farming industry. Questioned on government funding for wild dog and fox population control, Mr Barilaro replied, “I think we need more resources, we definitely need more resources, or (we need to be) using our resources better and making sure those resources go to the front line.” Whilst not committing to the maintenance of program funding at CPI levels beyond 2014/15, Mr Barilaro did state that he would be lobbying for “an increase to resources specifically in the Monaro.” Speaking to the audience Mr Barilaro admitted that he had been embarrassed by some of his government’s decisions relating to pest management. Asked to expand on this, he admitted

“we’ve made some mistakes with the Local Land Services, we’ve made some mistakes with shooting in National Parks, we’ve made some mistakes with forestry…Do I actually agree with all of these? Of course not.” Frustration with government agencies was on display during the meeting, highlighted by a call from Bemboka farmer Ellen Green for an increased focus on trapping rather than research. Ms Green stated that research reports, “haven’t killed a dog yet.” This was countered by South East Local Land Services chair David Mitchell, who stated that data is needed to provide justification for government funding. Despite this, it was widely acknowledged that stakeholder relations had improved in recent years, with Tim Shepherd of the National Parks and Wildlife Service commenting, “it’s not often a bureaucrat gets to move a motion at a NSW Farmers meeting”.

Snow Dragons win Gold at State Championships. The Lake Jindabyne Snow Dragons travelled to the Sydney International Regatta Centre at Penrith Lakes to compete at the NSW Dragon Boat State Championships against teams from all over the state. It was a wet and windy day, with teams paddling at times in torrential rain. For those not familiar with the sport a dragon boat team consists of 20 paddlers, one sweep and a drummer, to keep the paddlers in time. Paddling technique, timing and strength are the keys for success in the sport. The Snow Dragons are dedicated to their paddling, training 3 days a week in all kinds of weather. At the Championships the Snow Dragons

competed in two events, the Premier mixed division and the Country Cup. In the Premier mixed division they placed 3rd and 4th in the heats, narrowly missing out on a place in the final. The remaining event was the Country Cup, which was regained by the Snow Dragons in a close, well contested finish, coming from behind to win by three 100ths of a second. It was an exciting end to the season and the Snow Dragons would like to thank their captain/ coach Alan Davis, sweep Madi Davis, and major sponsor Serge’s Café.

The Snow Dragons win gold in a photo finish.

Tigers win 3-1 against Woden Woden Valley 1 (Lukas Cole 51’) Cooma Tigers 3 (Robbie Cattanach 29’, 75’, Stephen Domenici 49’) Cooma Tigers recorded a second win in succession with a 3-1 win over Woden Valley at Kaleen Enclosed in a high octane match that showed the qualities of both combatants. Having stunned Canberra Olympic last week Woden started brightly but it was the visitors, and in particular the in-form Robbie Cattanach, who took a strangle-hold on proceedings. Having blitzed Tuggeranong for four at Nijong Oval seven days ago Cattanach opened the scoring in the 29th minute. It was a lead they held until half-time although they were grateful to Woden striker Lukas Cole for passing up the opportunity to score a penalty with an amazing display of sportsmanship after his team were awarded a spot-kick with a Tigers player down injured. Cole simply passed the ball back to

Francois Bangweni instead of attempting to level the scores. After the break it took only four minutes for Gaby Wilk’s team to extend their advantage as Stephen Domenici struck his second goal of the season. Woden however refused to buckle and within 120 seconds had got themselves right back into the contest. Cole had smashed a double in the win over Olympic and the striker showed he was still in prime form with another well-taken goal to make it 2-1. Mitch Stevens’ group have a solid look about them right now and they pushed on looking for an equaliser. However, in Cattanach the Tigers have a genuine match-winner and the playmaker netted his seventh goal of the season with 15 minutes remaining to kill off the Woden challenge. The home team still kept plugging away but a two-goal deficit proved too much to handle.

Colts round four match reports Full On Constructions and Rhythm Snow Sports Under 6’s It was another road trip for the boys to Queanbeyan, with the hour long trek seeming to drain the boys of their usually energy filled little bodies. After another slow start, the Colts gave it a good dig with a good effort in attack by Jack Walker, Aiden Dixon, Neariah Smith, Ikani Smith, Mitchell Fletcher, Lachlan Bryan, Archie Kaufline and Rhylee Rosenbaum-Robinson, but the Queanbeyan United Blues defence was very quick to shut them down. Another great effort in defence by Othon Morgan and Kyte Lee with the boys making some hard hitting tackles against some big boys. But as the saying goes though, the Queanbeyan 6’s were just too big and too strong and it was obvious that they had been playing together for a lot longer than just four weeks with highly structured defence and attack. The end score was 36 to nil Queanbeyan’s way with Othon Morgan nearly scoring twice. The medal this week went to Ikani Smith.

It’s that time of the year...

Cooma squash report B grade While there were some great games in round three it was very disappointing to have a number of last minute forfeits, making it hard on the players who turned up to play their game. There was a great game between Leanne Corby and young Abby Freimanis. Leanne was subbing as her original opponent was not present. She won the first game 10-9 but lost the next two 9-5 and 9-2. Not prepared to concede Leanne took a deep breath and won the final two 10-9 and 10-8 with some long rallies. There were 81 points played in that match! Alex Corby took no time in disposing of Alex Childs in three as did Lockie Sturgeon against Jimmy Harding. It was left to another Corby – Ian – to make amends for his team Monaro Discount Tyres when he played Corey Stockton. They both played good games but Ian was just too accurate and won in four notwithstanding the fact

that they had some really good long rallies. Chris Tame made up for last week’s loss and had all the answers for Kym Kleven’s shots, defeating her in three and only conceding 15 points. Lyn Elton for Snowy Hydro made up for it by taking Leanne Kent to the cleaners and only conceding 11 points. Narelle Rosewarne (Kleven Spain) made Larry Maat (Hillross) work hard when she won in five long games. Larry Maat came out the worse for wear sporting a huge bruise on his cheek from a wayward ball. They finished up 38 points each with the final game going Narelle’s way 10-8 Bernie Harding will probably miss out on having his dinner cooked for a few days as he showed no mercy in defeating his wife Gayle 3-0 and only conceded seven points! First four teams on the ladder are as follows: Cooma Cranes 44; Kleven Spain 35; Monaro Discount Tyres 31 and Cooma Trophy and Gifts 30.

It’s that time of year again. Cooma Rugby Union Football Club is inviting all past players to join the 2014 Old Boys day on Saturday May 31.

Stallions 30-10 victory over Tathra Cooma Stallions First Grade side recorded their first win of the season with a convincing 30-10 win over Tathra Sea Eagles last Sunday. Played before a good crowd on a perfect day for football, both teams opened with plenty of intensity. Cooma were first to score when half back Paul Perkins put in a perfectly placed short kick which was duly fumbled by Tathra and pounced on by ‘Johnny on the spot’ Jake Schofield. A successful conversion from out wide by Murray Jackson saw Cooma jump to a 6-nil lead. Play see-sawed from end to end or the next 20 minutes before Blayne Thomas made inroads into the defence, drifted, found Joel

Smith who in turn found Zane Weston – an excellent team try from players in last year’s under 18s premiership winning team. With the goal attempt unsuccessful, Cooma now led 10-0. After a Tathra defender was bustled into touch and therefore leaving the Stallions in an excellent attacking position, some concerted attack saw captain-coach Steve Dunne crash over for an unconverted try, to take the score to 14-nil. Cooma then provided some scrambling defence including Mitch Lynch try-saver to leave the score at 14-nil at halftime. The second half commenced the same way with Tathra forcing two line drop-outs but again solid defence kept them at bay.

In the 53rd minute Zane Weston diffused a difficult bomb and a subsequent penalty put Cooma in a strong attacking position. A penetrating run from Murray Jackson saw quick hands from Jake Schofield put Matty Salvestro over for another unconverted try, extending the lead to 18-0 Halfway through the half, Tathra got on the board when Connor Finucane crossed for a converted try to reduce the deficit to 18-6. Jake Schofield was then denied a try after an earlier infringement was brought to the referee’s attention. Not to be denied, Joel Smith crashed over from 10 metres and the successful conversion from Torin Findlow saw the lead extend to 24-6.

Ten minutes before fulltime, a quick interchange of passing between the forwards saw Paul Perkins score a converted try, taking the score to 30-6. Tathra, to their credit, kept trying and were rewarded when Dylan Aldridge scored, making the final score 30-10 in Cooma’s favour. In what was a solid team performance, Cooma were best served by Jake Schofield, Jackson Standen, Brett Hodak, Blayne Thomas and coach Steve Dunne. With a bye next week and a home game the following week against Narooma, Cooma are well poised tp make an attack on a top four position.

A great offload by Brett Hodak.

Caught! Jake Schofield.

Tathra too tough for reserves The Stallions Reserve Grade took on the Tathra Sea Eagles at home on Sunday. Tathra and the Stallions were evenly matched in both attacking and defence with both teams holding on to an untouched scoreboard until Tathra maintained the pressure. With some quick back line movements Tathra found the gap and crossed the line and with a successful conversion the score was

6-0 with only 10 minutes to go in the first half. Tathra used their last set to test Cooma’s defence but unfortunately Tathra’s dummy half made a dive for the line for their second try of the match. In the final minute Tathra crossed the line again so the boys headed back to the sheds behind at 16-0. After the break Tathra showed the Stallions that they were here to win.

After two minutes of play they scored taking the score to 20-0. Tathra then quickly scored a full field try with Austin Riley making a good chase but just missing the tackle with Tathra now leading 26-0. Finally the Stallions found their fighting spirit with Dean Wolf charging through Tathra’s defence, making a run from the 50m mark down the sideline, offloading to Nathan Wren

who stretched over the line for the Stallions’ first try. An unsuccessful conversation put the score at 26-4. Tathra repied with another break through the Cooma defence and scored, cementing their lead at 30-4. Cooma finish the second half on a high note with two quick tries by Dave Summerville and Jack Downie wrapping up the game at 30-12.

One thing at a time however... On Saturday Cooma Golf Club hosted the charity day for the Monaro Early Intervention Service (MEIS). The day was filled with fun and laughter Ready for the off, team ‘Stockl Brothers’ were enjoying a big hair day. (and some good golf Where’s Wally - Tina, Jo and Fiona were about to find out. I’m sure). The golf club would like to thank all volunteers and committee for the donation of time in making the day such a success. Unfortunately results for the day have been lost at the 19th hole and were not at hand at the time of printing. A big thank you however to all who supported this very worthy charity. On Sunday a single par event saw Heikki Evans scorch the course with a fabulous plus 7 from Frank McKnight on plus one and Dieter Seubert also with plus one.

Ladies bowls triples finals With the playing of the remaining semi-final of the Ladies Triples on Tuesday 13th and final on 14th that event has now been completed for 2014. Maureen D’Amico, Dot Jackson and Margerita Zasso matched it with Mary Obermaier, Kath Sach and Leonie Snell to be 10/10 on end 11. At that point Margerita’s team took control and went on to win 20/14 and a place in the Final where they came up against Mary Phillips, Ev Hamilton and Hazel Walker. Hazel’s team dominated the early ends to lead 15/5 on end nine. Once again Margerita’s team won more ends than the opposition, over the concluding ends, but the 10 shots deficit was too much too to overcome and Mary, Ev and Hazel became Ladies Triples Champions for 2014. In a social game of fours on Tuesday 13th Gweneth Connolly, Margaret Power, Mary Phillips and Hazel Walker allowed Jo Baldwin, Judy Locker, Daphne Fraser and Julie Upton only four one shots ends in winning 17/4. Social Bowls on Saturday attracted only 10 players. Maureen D’Amica and Denis Steinfort were going well against Sergio Roncelli and Ev

Hamilton to lead 13/5 after just eight ends. Ev and Sergio then put icing on the cake with five shots on end 13 to bring them into the game Keith Goodwwin, Mario Frezza and Renate Winckel played Skip Hamilton, Daphne Buckley and Paul Cannell. When Paul’s team went to the front 15/1 each team set a target, Paul’s to get as many shots as possible and Renate’s to make double figures. Only Paul’s team succeeded, by winning 32/6. Only 10 bowlers for Social Bowls on Sunday with a game of pairs and a game of triples. Don Jarvis and Colin Roberson scored five shoots on the first end against Bob Douglas and Paul Cannell but then had watch their opponents level the scores at 9/9 on end eight, then go on to win 22/19. The game of Triples between Simon Schoon, Daphne Buckley and Nelson Wallace v Ken Rees, Mick Mayhew and Renate Winckel was a very one sided affair and no scores are recorded but all participants declare that it was an enjoyable game. Unfortunately our men were unsuccessful in their quest for glory, in Grade Five Pennants, Zone play offs in Bega.

Member talking points... LEARN TO LOVE EXERCISE WITH ANYTIME FITNESS, AND TRICK YOUR MIND INTO THE ADDICTION!

The rise of fun runs

FACT SHE T

Sport

We often wonder why some people love exercise and some people hate it. What is it in some of us that keep us going back for more? The answer is effort and if you’re struggling to make the effort, Anytime Fitness know exactly how to change this. “Your brain is naturally threatened by what it perceives as effort. It automatically wants to preserve the metabolic resources that effort uses up,” says Anne Foster - Club Manager. By changing the way we perceive exercise and viewing it as a reward for our brain and body, we will find that addiction we’re looking for. Start off slowly. Don’t rush into it and begin with what you already like to do. “If you love to walk or run, then start with this and slowly introduce what you don’t enjoy as much,” says Anne Foster. “Another way to increase your love of exercise is by linking it with something you already love. If you love to work, incorporate exercise into a part of your day, just like you do with a meeting, and you will find it easier to stay committed.” Most importantly, create a habit and outline your goals clearly. “Habits can take up to three weeks to create, so stick with it and stay committed. For a starter, set aside 30 minutes, 3 times a week to work out. Keep this as your minimum and never go below this.” Realistic goals are really important. “We love long term goals, but incorporate some short term goals along the way to help you get there. By seeing results, you’ll love what you’re doing and want to keep it up. For example, if you want to lose 20 kg in 12 months, then go month by month and aim to lose approximately 2 kg each month,” says Anne Foster. Remember the lifestyle changes you’re creating along the way. Your posture will be better, you won’t be as breathless going up stairs, you’ll start to notice you can lift heavy objects with greater ease and your overall fitness will improve. “Your health is the most important thing you have. Our members matter to us and we want to ensure we are constantly helping them achieve their goals,” says Anne Foster.

AFL

The Mainstreet U13 Red Devils hopped on the bus to Broulee on Saturday to take on the Dolphins, on a really warm day where sunscreen and hats were needed by those on the sidelines. What happened to beanies and overcoats? Cooma were only able to muster 11 players for the long trip, so we would like to thank Broulee for loaning us a couple of players, and then matching numbers for the game. From the kick-off, the Devils put in a good defensive effort, with some good tackles putting players on the ground. However, as the Dolphins made their way downfield it was clear that a couple of their bigger forwards were going to be very difficult to stop close to the try line. This resulted in two tries being scored in fairly quick time, and the potential was there for the coastal kids to run away with the game. However, Cooma were quick to rally, and with the forwards working hard to retain possession in the rucks, the backs were able to steadily progress downfield. From a set play, Cooma’s forwards kept the ball in fairly tight, and despite being tackled well short of the line, Rhys Sopniewski managed to plant the ball over for a try. Converted by Bailey Rogers, this saw the halftime score being a competitive 15-7. The second half began in similar fashion, with the odd dropped ball or missed tackle allowing Broulee to put their big forwards into almost unstoppable positions close to our line. Another unconverted try was the result, and with the warm conditions and heavy defensive load starting to tell, the floodgates could have opened. An injury to one of the Dolphins playing for Cooma saw him taken off the field, meaning each team played the last 15 minutes or so with just five forwards. This saw the tight five go up a gear

or two, and they really dominated in the rucks from then on. Justin, Rhys, Zac, Ibby and Musa are to be congratulated on their efforts when the chips were down. They were getting over the ball and ensuring possession was held as best they could. This of course gave the flashy backline a chance to show their skills, and after going through just about every set of hands, Bailey cut back on the inside to score the second Red Devils try. With the score now sitting at 2012 the game was wide open. A comeback proved to be just beyond their reach, and as fulltime neared the big forwards once again found room through the middle and scored twice more, running out winners by 30-12. Unfortunately, right on the final whistle, Tristan Revelant went down awkwardly after a tackle and had to be transferred to hospital for precautionary tests. We hear that he is improving well, and the team’s best wishes go to him. Every player put in a big effort in this match, but points were awarded as follows; Bailey Rogers 3 for an inspirational game as halfback and captain, Rhys Sopniewski 2 for a tireless effort, and Justin Manning and Toby Haylock shared 1 point each, always getting involved. We are still in need of a few more players, so please come to Rotary Oval at 4 pm every Wednesday afternoon for training if you are keen. I would like to thank both Craig and coach Anthony for driving the bus, and the other parents who made the effort to support the boys on a long trip. It is really important to have as many parents as possible go to away games, as when unexpected injuries happen it requires quite a few adults to not only make sure the injured player is cared for properly, but also the rest of the team need to be supervised until the bus can head home. Please support your team!! This week’s game is against Marist, at Garran.

Miss Piggies season begins Piglets mixed results The 2014 season kicked off with a bang from the Jindabyne Rugby Union Club Miss Piggies, with the girls taking on the Owls from Uni North, Canberra. There was an early try from Uni, securing them a 7-0 lead, which was a challenge accepted by Kate Brown, who went over the line shortly after, bringing the score to 5-7. Montanna Harrison threatened the corner twice to no avail, and the Miss Piggies were looking strong! Big tackles were being made from Jessica ‘JJ’ Whitley, and metres made by Tracey Meares on her debut for the Miss Piggies. The score was 5-17 at half time and the Miss Piggies were looking great for their first game of the season. Ten minutes into the second half Kate ‘Whacka’ Waterhouse went over the line for her first try

of the season, which was strongly converted by Kim ‘Whippit’ Ashby to bring the score to 12-29. There was a lot of strong play for the team, and huge effort by the girls who showed great teamwork right to the final whistle with the final score being 1243 to Uni Norths. Three points were awarded to Peta ‘Coxy’ Cox for her gallant style and grace on the field, 2 points to Kate ‘Browny’ Brown for her leadership on the field, and 1 point to Whacka for her strong hits and gutsy effort. Players player was awarded to Peta Cox, with all of the girls putting in a huge game and showing the Canberra girls what us Mountain Kids are made of (undefeated boat race champions!). Catch the Miss Piggies next week in Queanbeyan when they take on the mighty Whites.

Jindabyne Piglets games were all away this week making good use of our buses. Thanks to the coaches, drivers and parents who travelled to support our teams. Under 12s travelled to Gungahlin where in true sportsmanship they were loaned players as we were a little short. With the step up to first Division this year all games are very competitive but the boys are giving it their best shot. A well deserved win went to the Under 16’s. Playing Radford they pulled together for their first win of the season. Hope they can do it again against the Vikings at home this weekend. The U10s had a trip to Canberra to play Royals. With 18 players in the squad the busses were full and enthusiasm peaking, much to the delight of the parents who had to live through it.

The boys started strongly and from a penalty Jackson Bucknell took it to the Royals and through the Royals to score in the corner. The team continued to work well together with combinations starting to gel in the back line between Angus, Riley and Patrick. Patrick was put into a gap to go over the line but with the ref in the wrong position and the video ref being off sick, it wasn’t awarded. Taking the big squad on tour required a steady stream on changes on the field and though everyone put in great individual efforts we lost our momentum and Royals come back strong going over the line a number of times. Special mention to the work and tackling put in by Angus Falconer who was text book in his execution earning Player of the Day and Jackson Bucknell who ran over the Royals all game and

earning Coaches Choice. Unfortunately the end result didn’t go our way with Royals coming out on top at 26 to 5. Nevertheless a solid effort by the team and a great day out. Finally a special thanks to some of our key sponsors, First Tracks, Mountain Munchies, Mastercut Meats our sponsors who help make all this possible. Results of junior games below. Under 10’s defeated by Royals 25-10 Under 11’s BYE Under 12’s defeated by Gungahlin 73-5 Under 14’s BYE Under 16’s Win over Radford 8-5

Bushpigs scrape home in tight contest The Jindabyne Bushpigs have continued their strong start to the season with a 26 – 17 victory over a strong Boorowa Goldies side at John Connors Oval on Saturday. Once again the Bushpigs had to make a number of changes to their starting line up due to unavailability in the lead up to the game. Number 8 John Field and Lock Drew Turner were big losses, however the side was buoyed by the return of Ian Vagg and James Barb-Winter. The Goldies brought a strong outfit with 20 players making the trip from Boorowa and based on the physical exchanges of the opening 10 minutes they were certainly up for the contest. Strong runs from Isaac Maw and Jeremy Witherdin set the platform for the Jindabyne side to gain field position and Josh Shortland crashed over for his first try of the season to open the scoring. From here the match became an arm wrestle with Jindabyne allowing the Goldies into the game with some poor discipline and too many handling errors. This became a frustration for the home side and although the Goldies never hit the lead they were lifted by these mistakes and took advantage of good field position and poor defence for a number of tries. This seemed to also spur some of the Jindabyne side’s proven match winners with Liam Pepper making great metres and getting off the line

for some big hits in his debut in the forwards. This set the platform for Matthew Caldwell to score from a great 50m individual effort from halfback. The game was tit for tat with tries being exchanged back and forth before the match was sealed with two great team tries that finally looked like the Bushpigs of the last few years. The first went again to a brilliant short side set play between Caldwell and Jake Roarty with Caldwell racing 60m and scoring in the corner. The second was the play of the day with Vagg spurring a quick raid leading to a break from Adrian Butters and inspiring support play once again from Vagg to crash over for the bonus point. The Bushpigs were forced to defend their line in the dying minutes with great attitude shown from the forwards and the backs making up for their poor performance in attack with some great scrambling defence. Final points were Liam Pepper (Marshall Batteries) 3 points, Ian Vagg (Hip-Pocket Workwear) 2 points and Issac Maw (Alpiinet) and James Barb Winter (Sponars Chalet) 1 point.

Runner up voucher on a countback, from three other golfers, all coming home with a popular score of 12 points was Marilyne Weston. Balls were won by Pat Davis and Midge Theron.

The winner of the NTP second shot was Midge Theron. On Saturday May 17 there was no single ladies competition as the MEIS Charity Golf Day was played. On Sunday 18th again no ladies played in competition. Unfortunately our Cooma teams missed out on the pennants, but wish Coolamatong all the best when they play the final round. Until next week Happy Golfing.

The Junior girls basketball will see some changes to the teams over the next few weeks following big wins in some of the games held last week. Dynamites, with a huge height advantage over Wonder Women, run out winners 60 points to 20. Molly Adams, Amber Martin-Smith and Gabby Steiner were the main scorers for Dynamites whilst for the Wonder Women it was Zoe and Amy Fraser. Four Leaf Clovers and the A Team had a close tussle throughout their game with FLC adding a few quick baskets in the last quarter to win 50 to 36. Meg Pearce top scored for F.L.C and Chloe Trevanion for the A team. Swaggers with Abby Fremanis leading the way were too strong for Allstars winning 50 to 20. Abby top scored for her team while Makaela Smith was the top scorer for Allstars. It’s pleasing to see the effort being put in by the new girls to basketball. Chloe and Sophie Rogers, the Brancombe, Pearce and Fraser twins, Ellee Simpson, Emily Blyton, Emma Hopkin, Viva Subuks, Abby McNab, Molly Adams, Penny Fletcher, Jasmine Statham, Gabby Steiner, Maai Johnson, Shaniah Rackley, Chloe Trevanion, Jennifer Fraser and Maria Tarasyuk have been extremely keen and along with the established players are set to make this a great competition.

10 Jack Swain top scored for Blue and Noah Mylan for Maroon. The second game was more even with Green defeating Gray 18 to 12. Kiah Joyce top scored for Green and Nick Coote for Gray.

Cats master class…

The Cooma Cats AFL team continued its winning ways on Saturday defeating the Harman Hogs to retain the Schelberger cup. Robbie Schelberger, Vice-Captain of the Cats and whose father played for both Cooma and Harman, was full of praise for the Cats determined effort. “We fought hard today against a quality outfit and to come away with the win is a big step forward in building momentum this year”. After a slow start Cooma finished strongly holding Harman to only one goal in the second half to record a comfortable 62 point win. Cooma 13.18.(96) to Harman 5.4.(34) The Subway Cooma player of the week went to Kyle King for his standout game

with many dashing runs out of defence. The Cats would like to thank their major sponsor the Australian Hotel, Cooma . The Snowy Supercats Under 14’s AFL side had a tough game against Tuggeranong on Saturday, losing by 10 goals but walking away with their heads held high. For first time coach Tyson Stead it was the effort of Chloe Ware, Dylan Noble and Jess Sergo that led the way and it is terrific to see the progress this young team are making. The Supercats would like to thank their sponsor, Coles Cooma. The Cats return to Snowy Oval along with the Supercats next week for their game against Tuggeranong Hawks. The Supercats U14 game begins at 10am with the seniors
