The new facility will see fundraising and operational staff colocated at the helicopter base for the first time in the services’ 16 year history.

Snowy Hydro SouthCare CEO, Owen Finegan says “the new facility along with the existing helicopter base facilities will strengthen the support we provide to the community and develop the role of the ACT as a hub for the provision of medical services, resulting in economic and social benefits between residents in the ACT, the surrounding region, and Southern NSW. The facility includes the construction of an education facility for the helicopter, medical

crew, staff, community and school groups which will allow Snowy Hydro SouthCare to continue to provide the highest standards and raise awareness of the aeromedical and rescue helicopter services that they provide.

“This is an exciting opportunity to connect with the local community and cultivate their support, encouraging safety awareness and increase corporate and community support to assist the ongoing operation of Snowy Hydro SouthCare”.

“It is also highly beneficial for the fundraising and operational staff to share the same work space as it will allow an opportunity to build a strong understanding of just how important the Snowy Hydro SouthCare service and the varying roles within the organisation” Mr Finegan said.

To build the new facility Snowy Hydro

SouthCare received $500,000 funding from the Federal Governments Regional Development Australia Fund along with matching funding from the ACT and NSW Government and a $150,000 donation from the Master Builders Association (MBA) towards the completion of this wonderful new addition to the service.

AusMumpreneur experience was rewarding After Susan Burke and Lynsey Nichols both recently represented our little town on a national level as finalists at the AusMumpreneur awards, Lynsey was named the winner of the People’s Choice Eco-Friendly Award for her business Gilbert the Garbage Truck.

After besting nine other finalists for the honour, Lynsey said she was thrilled to take out the title.

“I feel that sustainability is an incredibly important issue, and winning this award will hopefully help my business educate children about recycling. Being recognised amongst such a high caliber of women in business is both exciting and humbling,” Lynsey said.

Fellow finalist, Susan Burke, who is also closely involved with Lynsey’s business as well as maintaining her own Susan Burke

Interactive Lessons Designs, may have just been pipped at the post to take out her product innovation category, but the fact that the two good friends could share in this experience together was something that rang true with them both.

“If it wasn’t for Susan I probably would not have even applied for these awards,” Lynsey said.

“Being able to share in this experience together is really special, because we support each other in our business really closely and as friends as well,” she said.

For both women to make the finals and represent our township is something that we as a community should definitely be proud of and for Lynsey to win is just the icing on the cake.

“I am really proud of Lynsey and I’m so happy that we got to attend the awards

together and support each other,” Susan said.

“I think I cried when she won, so I think it meant just as much to me as well,” she said.

As the winner Lynsey received some very valuable prizes, one of these being the opportunity to share some valuable networking connections to help grow and enhance her business.

“I’m excited to have the opportunity to expand from this and I think that together Susan and I can both explore future prospects that otherwise wouldn’t have been possible before,” Lynsey said.

The awards were in their fifth year this year and were sponsored by the St. George Banking Group.

Ceremony highlights cultural connection to Snowy waterways A ceremony at Jindabyne today highlighted the significant cultural connection of Aboriginal communities to the Snowy Mountains rivers.

Acting Deputy Director General Water, Michael Bullen, said the event coincided with the largest of this spring’s environmental water releases into the Snowy River, recognising the importance of the Snowy River and high-country waterways to Aboriginal communities. “Today’s activities, which included a welcome to country, exchange of cultural water stories, smoking ceremony and traditional dances, celebrates the spiritual and social connections of Snowy Mountains Aboriginal communities with the Snowy River,� said Mr Bullen. “It also marks the first time that the Snowy River high-flow environmental water releases have been named in recognition of the Aboriginal people of the Snowy Mountains.�

Mr Bullen said the NSW Office of Water had initiated the Snowy cultural water project to incorporate traditional knowledge with contemporary science to improve long-term understanding of the Snowy River. “The cultural water project has engaged the regional Indigenous communities - Bidwell-Maap,

Wongalu, Southern Monero-Yuin-Bolga, ManerooNgarigo and Wiradjuri - to help revise the ecological objectives for the Snowy River.� “This project has also provided local Aboriginal communities with a voice to tell of their connections to the Snowy Mountains and to educate the broader community about the linkages of waterways to the spiritual and social well being of our first peoples.�

Mr Bullen continued, saying traditional Indigenous knowledge of the Snowy River system has been identified as a means to gain a longer-term insight and improve understanding of river conditions prior to river diversions and land development. “The health of the Snowy River is important to the local Aboriginal communities and they want to play an active role in the management of the waterways in the Snowy Mountains.� “Today’s event is an important first step in acknowledging the aboriginal people of the Snowies and marks the start of the journey from recognition - to representation - to involvement in environmental water management,� Mr Bullen said.

Further information about the Snowy environmental flows and cultural water project are available on the NSW Office of Water website – www.water.nsw.gov.au

A 17-year-old youth from the Cooma area has been charged with attempting to break into a local theatre with intent to steal.

The initial incident occurred in October 2012 at a theatre in Uran Street, Cooma.

It is alleged that the youth attempted several times to break into the theatre however was unable to gain entry.

Nothing was stolen in these attempts.

Police from the Cooma Station continued to follow up the incident, and this resulted in the youth being apprehended on the 16th November 2014. He has been charged, and bailed to appear at the Cooma Children’s Court on the 4th November 2014.

The races were held at Bombala Raceway on Saturday October 18, with a good crowd attending.

Police from Monaro Target Action Group, and NSW Police Dog Squad, assisted local police from Bombala and Delegate patrol the venue.

From all accounts the crowd was well behaved at the venue, and following the races, around the Bombala township and local licensed premises.

The courtesy bus was again used to good effect, reducing the need for people to risk driving after a few drinks.

This is a great result for the committee, the town and the police

involved with no injuries or alcohol related issues reported.

After Bombala, the Police attended Cooma and assisted local police patrolling the town.

Several people were spoken to after the dog indicated a possible drug present.

Two persons were spoken to in the main street following an indication by the dog when they walked past.

They were both spoken to and a small amount of cannabis was produced and handed to police.

Both persons received a caution for possession of the drug.

This is another example of good local policing where local police have continued to follow up things that occur in their town On Saturday night at around 6:15pm police were conducting stationary random breath tests on the Delegate Road near Bombala.

Police pulled over a 49-year-old female driving a white Mitsubishi Triton Ute who then recorded a low range PCA of 0.069.

The suspect was taken to Bombala Police Station and will appear in Bombala local court on December 3.

At 7:21am on Monday morning a car rolled over at Bobingah injuring two people, no one was trapped at the scene.

Is your debt under control?

SMEC wins Governor of Victoria export award

There are two major types of debt that you could have, deductible debt and nondeductible debt.

Deductible debt is better than nondeductible debt as it allows you to claim a tax deduction for interest paid on loan and should reduce your tax.

To get ahead it is important to pay off non-deductible debt as quick as possible.

Typical examples of non-deductible debt are credit card debt, personal loan (car) and your home loan.

Did you know that if you have $3,500 owing on your credit card, pay 21% interest and pay $70 a month it would take around 10 years to pay it off. If you double repayments to $140 a month it takes around 2 years and 10 months. With such a high interest rate you should aim to pay credit card debt off completely every month. If you struggle with this than you need to reconsider you spending habits and even consider cutting up the credit card.

Steps to help reduce debt 1.

Pay off highest interest rate debt first 2.

Pay interest only on lower interest rate debt until higher debt paid off 3.

Focus on paying off non-deductible debt first 4.

Restructure your debt so that overall you have a lower interest rate to pay 5.

Reduce spending to get debt under control 6.

Increase fortnightly/monthly repayments of debt 7.

Save money first before making purchases In order to get ahead it is important to have you debt under control before you can look

at other exciting goals you may have.

Carers Week 2014 Residents of Eden-Monaro are encouraged to recognise the contribution that carers make to our community to mark Carers Week 2014.

“Providing care to a loved one in need – whether it be due to age, disability or mental illness – is a role that many Australians will take on at some stage during their lives,” Dr Hendy said.

“Almost 2.7 million Australians fulfil a caring role. Carers Week is a great time to stop and reflect on the role carers play in our society.”

“Applications are now open for the Government’s Young Carer Bursary Programme,” Dr Hendy said.

The Young Carers Bursary Programme was an election commitment which will support young carers to complete or return to education while continuing their caring role.

“There are over 300,000 young carers in Australia who look after people with disability, people with medical conditions, or older people in need of care,” Dr Hendy said.

“Young carers often have to juggle part time work, caring responsibility and study. Too often, when they are pressed for time, it

is their education that is pushed aside.”

“The Government wants to make study a little easier for young carers,” Dr Hendy said. The Programme is being delivered with the support of Carers Australia.

“I encourage young carers in Eden-Monaro to consider applying for the Young Carer Bursary, which will provide up to $10,000 to 150 young carers annually for three years,” Dr Hendy said.

“I also encourage all residents of Eden-Monaro to take the opportunity of Carers Week to consider participating in one of the many events taking place across the country, and to take some time out to discuss and learn more about unpaid carers and the role they play in our society.”

Carers Week 2014 runs from 12 to 18 October and will feature morning teas, fundraisers and workshops across the country. For more information on Carers Week events, visit www.carersaustralia. com.au.

Putting mental health at the top

After what has been a period of stalled operations at the Sir William Hudson Nursing Home, sanctions have officially been lifted and new residents are once again being accepted.

The nursing home passed its last assessment with flying colours, receiving a score of 100 per cent and as a result staff and residents are looking forward to returning to business as usual.

Delia Cole, Acting Director of Nursing, says that with the building works all completed, there are exciting times ahead for what the facility can offer residents.

“There are a huge range of new activities, lots of community involvement and we have even secured a grant that will allow us to introduce a new gardening program,” Mrs Cole said.

With new offerings like Tai Chi and upcoming events

like the Senior Citizens Week, the Sir William Hudson Nursing Home has been truly rejuvenated.

On Friday October 10 the nursing home took place in the Australian Rotary Health ‘Hat Day’.

The aim of this day was to raise funds and awareness for mental health, shining a light on mental health and wearing a hat to remind individuals to keep mental health at the top of their mind.

With one in five people affected by mental illness in some way, the staff and residents of the Sir William Hudson Nursing Home took the opportunity to help raise money via donations for Australian Rotary Health.

A former small timber manufacturing business owner, Mr Barilaro was elected in March 2011 and promoted to Parliamentary Secretary for Small Business and Regional Development in May this year.

Deputy Premier, Troy Grant said Mr Barilaro’s experience and hard work both as Parliamentary Secretary and within the Monaro community made him the obvious choice to take on these Ministerial responsibilities. “John is in the business of getting things done, whether it’s securing funding for the $50 million Queanbeyan bypass project, or delivering a new dialysis unit for Cooma,� Mr Grant said. “John has proven himself as a passionate

Each year, we celebrate National Water Week across Australia in the hope to inspire everyone to work together, to build community awareness and opportunities for growth and innovation.

Snowy River Shire has been blessed with large dams in our Local Government area and each year the melting snow from the mountains also provides an abundance of water. This week is an opportunity to encourage sound water practices and to protect and conserve our water sources to ensure we don't exhaust our current supplies.

In 2014, National Water Week will be celebrated in our Shire from Sunday 19 to Saturday 25 October and will focus on the theme of "Water sources - there are more than you think."

National Water Week also provides an opportunity to remind ourselves that water must be used wisely and encourage sound water practices if there is to be enough to meet the needs of our future generations. To encourage reuse and to protect our waterways, Council’s Green Team has sponsored the purchase of a Water Fountain which will be installed at Banjo Paterson Park in Jindabyne.

Mayor John Cahill will officially open National Water week and will mark the installation of the Water Fountain at the park on Wednesday, 22 October at 10am.

Everyone is welcome to attend the opening ceremony and as Council is promoting reuse, we will be providing refillable water bottles to discourage the purchase of bottled water.

Snowy Mountains Neighbourhood Centre to close for refurbishment The Snowy Mountains Neighbourhood Centre will undergo a refurbishment thanks to a $40,220 NSW Government Community Building Partnership grant.

The Member for Monaro John Barilaro presented a cheque for the project, which will commence in November, to members of the Neighbourhood Centre.

“The Snowy M o u n t a i n s Neighbourhood Centre is a community-based organisation that runs programs and offers services to support the wellbeing of people living in the area,” said Mr Barilaro.

“The centre was in need of an upgrade and I’m pleased that the NSW Government saw fit to make funding available to ensure that

the centre remains a pleasant place for clients to visit.

“Local construction jobs and businesses will benefit from refurbish activity as this community infrastructure is upgraded.”

The refurbishment will provide better access, more space, and a private meeting room for confidential sessions at the Centre, which is visited by locals and visitors alike. The Centre offers information, referrals, free internet and WiFi, affordable printing, faxing and scanning services, library services, specialised programs and events, or just a cuppa and a chat.

The new Centre will boast improved training facilities and more suitable space for

regular programs, such as “Jindy Jive for Under 5s”. Local community groups and regional organisations who use the space for meetings and outreach services will also benefit from the improved facilities.

The Centre had over 1,000 visitors during the ski season this year, with up to 50 visitors a day during peak times. “Centre use is continually increasing, and the refurbishment will allow us to expand our services to meet demand” said Sue Bailey, Coordinator of the Centre.

The Snowy M o u n t a i n s Neighbourhood Centre will close from Monday November 3 for construction to commence, and will reopen in the New Year.

Dance, sing, and celebrate indigenous Australia this October!

Come and celebrate the original people of the Snow Country, the Ngarigo, and all of Australia’s First Peoples, with a High Country Corroboree at the Jindabyne Community Stage on Saturday October 25.

The day will once again feature Nowra’s Doonooch Dancers, who have strong ties to the High Country. Local Indigenous and non-Indigenous entertainers will perform throughout the day.

Join us from 10:00am for morning tea, followed by a Welcome to Country and speeches from the Ngarigo elders. Activities and entertainment will continue

throughout the day, and will include basket-weaving, toolmaking, an art area, sport, and music. Lunch, including a Jindabyne Lions BBQ and an array of delicious salads, will be included in the day.

The High Country Corroboree acknowledges and celebrates Australia’s First Peoples, with an emphasis on the traditional custodians of the High Country, the Ngarigo People. It is an opportunity for Ngarigo people to reconnect with Country, and for Snowy River Shire residents to learn about the long and complex history of Indigenous Australians in the mountains.

The High Country Corroboree

is made possible by a partnership between Snowy River Shire Council and the National Parks and Wildlife Service with funding from the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet. This year’s event is supported by Snowy Mountains Neighbourhood Centre, Perisher Ltd., the Jindabyne Lions, The Rob Kneller Foundation, Woolworths, and Coles.

This family fun day is an alcohol free event.

For more information about this event, please contact Council’s Community Development Officer, Meghan Quinn, on 6451 1195.

Amalgamations Several Snowy River Shire Councillors have expressed a desire to issue an official public position on any amalgamation proposals during a debate at the October Delivery and Operations Committee meeting.

The debate was triggered by the last minute addition of a report relating to the state government’s Fit for the Future reform package to the meeting agenda.

Councillors John Shumack and Colin StewartBeardsley both expressed a desire to communicate a clear intention to the community, both men indicating their preference that Council remain independent.

This desire was not shared by all, with Mayor John Cahill and General Manager Joe Vescio urging Council to exercise patience and therefore avoid the attention of the NSW state government.

They warned that Council might make itself a target for forced amalgamation after the March state election, should they resolve to publically announce a preference to remain independent.

Snowy Ride 2014 heading our way soon

In just a few days, the Snowy Mountains will be the backdrop for one of the largest and longest running motorcycle charity events in Australia, the Honda Snowy Ride, now in its fourteenth year.

Cooma will again be one of the focal points, with many riders passing through town on their journey to the Snowy Ride or visiting the Cooma checkpoint in Centennial Park on Sharp Street, Cooma as they enjoy riding in the Snowy Ride on Saturday November 1.

Since inception, SWCCF has donated more than $5 million towards childhood cancer research, with $4 million directly attributed to the Snowy Ride. Since the Snowy Ride began in 2001, more than 34,000 people have registered to take part, travelling an estimated 13.6 million kilometres. Last year 3024 riders took part and as the 2014 Snowy Ride approaches, numbers are again looking strong.

A number of local businesses have been long

term supporters of the ride including major sponsor Snowy Hydro Ltd and long term supporters, National Parks & Wildlife Service and South East Printing. With the support of Snowy Hydro Ltd, over 60 families who have had a child endure cancer treatment have made a trip to the Snowy Ride free of charge.

The Navy is involved in this initiative and many businesses in the Snowy region donate to and support this program, which makes a real difference in their lives. Not only is it a great break from the monotony of hospitals and doctor’s appointments, it’s a great chance to enjoy time together as a family and make some happy memories.

And the reason that all of this takes place is because of a young man called Steven Walter, who passed away aged just 19 after fighting cancer for eight years. Although Steve’s cancer could not be cured, he inspired his friends and family to create the Steven Walter Children’s Foundation. Steve

wanted money to be raised for research into a cure for childhood cancer, so that one day no other kid would have to go through what he did.

As a result, the Steven Walter Children’s Cancer Foundation’s mission is 100 percent survival for all children diagnosed with cancer.

And whilst survival rates have improved dramatically over the past 50 years, for every 10 children diagnosed with cancer, three do not survive. Here in Australia, that translates to three children losing their lives to cancer every week. That’s three children too many.

Of those children who do survive, many have chronic health problems as a direct result of their treatments.

So if you see a rider with a Snowy Ride sticker on display this weekend, give them a wave and thumbs up for supporting such a worthy cause.

Steve was passionate about many things – family, friends and motorbikes all ranking high

on his list. That’s why it’s very fitting that an event that brings motorcyclists together for a great weekend has been the driving force in generating the funds SWCCF has donated for research into a cure for childhood cancer.

Some exciting breakthroughs are being made through this research and a number of promising research programs that would otherwise not have funding to take place are underway. And all are working towards the ultimate goal of 100 percent survival for all children diagnosed with cancer.

In his short life, Steve made plenty of friends, including many through his involvement with motorbikes. Many of these mates and their families are now involved with SWCCF and the Snowy Ride. There’s no doubt that he’d count each and every person who takes part in or supports the Snowy Ride and research into a cure for childhood cancer as a friend as well.

It was Fashion-ation...

The Community Chest’s Fashionation went full steam ahead at the Cooma Railway Station on Saturday night, with 150 paying ticketholders in attendance.

Fashion-ation was conceived by the Community Chest committee as a way in which to display the talent of up-and-coming and established local fashion designers whilst raising funds for community projects in the process.

Two new funding announcements were made on the night, one to assist with the preschool costs faced by local families and the other to increase children’s participation in organised sport by reducing the burden of associated fees.

Committee member Marnie Stewart said that the night had exceeded all expectations.

“Our local designers, I think, could stand proud against the top designers in this country with their designs. It was an eye opener for a lot of people who didn’t realise what these women can do,” she said.

The designers included Ruth Cox “Egoa”, Petea Perea “Hancock and Ward”, Peige Eber and Hannah Knight “Birdsnest”, Charly Thorn, Erin Louise, Tonya Evans, Tracey Lundgren, Flora Elliot, Lynlee O’Keefe and Elle Hopwood.

Fashions ranged from children’s clothes to Medieval creations; street wear to evening wear; fur creations to fascinators.

Kobie supporting UGLY competition The UGLY bartender of the year organisation is a fundraising opportunity to help support individuals with blood cancer.

Local barmaid, Kobie Prefrement of the Alpine Hotel is using this opportunity to raise much-needed funds for those suffering with leukaemia.

“Every $80 raised will put a regional family in the city for a night for treatment,” Kobie says.

“So far I have raised over $3000, which is well above my $1000 goal!” she said.

Originally hailing from the Hunter Valley, Kobie left her job in the mining industry to venture for a life in the mountains and the snow.

Cooma is as far as she got after securing a job as a plumbers trade assistant at Sir William Hudson Nursing Home, once she finished up on this project she took the next employment opportunity she could find, which just happened to be at The Apline Hotel.

“It is a privilege to be able to attempt to help improve the lives of those suffering from leukaemia,”

she says. “When this opportunity arose I knew I wanted to make a difference.”

The acronym, UGLY stands for Understanding, Generous, Likeable, You, all traits that those who frequent The Alpine realise Kobie has in spades.

In order to attempt to skyrocket her fundraising goals, Kobie and The Alpine are hosting a Halloween event on the 31st of October, where attendees will be asked to donate their best scary attire, there will be live entertainment and some great prizes to be won.

“We are in need of any donations that local businesses can make to the event, it is for a great cause so if your business would like to assist raising money for sufferers of Leukaemia get in touch with The Alpine,” Kobie said.

If you want to donate to this cause just go to www.uglybartender.org.au and search for Kobie Preferment.

Germaine Sullivan July 13, 1921 to September 28, 2014 These dates do not adequately describe this amazing, intelligent and independent woman who in many ways, personified the European history of the 20th Century.

Germaine was born in an American hospital on an Army base of the British Army of Occupation of the Rhine, in Koblenz in Germany after WW1.

Germaine’s birth was registered at Gloucester House in the UK as well as St Patrick’s Cathedral in New York, U.S.A. Her father was in the British Army, probably in Intelligence and was himself the son of a Cornishman born in Hamilton, Scotland, in an Army base. His father was a Colour Sergeant in the British Army who had risen as far as he could because he had become a Catholic to marry the woman he loved. Germaine’s father’s aunt was “that wanton woman”, Kitty O’Shea.

Germaine’s great, great, Grandmother was a Moquet of the family which owned Moquet Farm, the scene of one of the battles on the Western Front in WW1.

Germaine attended a German school, where she learned the piano and languages including German and French and an ear forlocal variations in English, German and French. She spent her early years in Germany until the family all returned to Britain after the rise of the Nazis. She saw the rise of the Brown Shirts and the horrendous inflation of the currency while hearing the rhetoric of Hitler whom she never saw. These experiences made her very wary of crowds and pedagogues.

After returning to Britain, the family stayed there while her father took a job as Secretary to the Lytton Commission in China, checking on the reparations to European nations after the Boxer Rebellion.

On completion if this job, her father returned to Britain until he was given a job as the Far East Secretary of the League of Nations. They lived in Nanking and Germaine attended a Convent in Shanghai where she met two girls from Macau whose

FOR FRESH FISH & SEAFOOD COME IN & CHECK OUT THE VARIETY OF SEAFOOD INSTORE FRESH FROM THE SYDNEY MARKETS 49 Massie St, Cooma Ph: 6452 2157

two brothers were at school with her future husband, Jim Sullivan.

Germaine and her brother watched the Japanese bombing of Nanking, and the family soon left China by going North West upriver to where there was a railway line South to the Pearl River on which the family travelled by ship to Hong Kong, then by cargo ship back to Liverpool, the Surrey, in Britain Germaine finished her schooling after attending 12 schools. in London she completed an Economics degree at University College London. She was present during the Blitz. Part of her studies were in Aberystwyth in Wales, having been evacuated there.

She moved back to London during the holidays and after she obtained her degree and had a job in Censorship where her father worked in Intelligence. Because of her abilities in garnering information and because she did cryptic crosswords in the Times and magazines such as Country Life, she was considered for work at Bletchly Park, but the war ended before she was sent there.

In London, she met her future husband, Jim Sullivan, who was in the RAAF as an infill in a British RAF squadron, no 622, based at Mildenhall. He hated Wellingtons and Halifaxes, but thought that Lancasters were the ants pants. His captain was from Bordertown in SA. After knowing each other for a total of six weeks, Germaine and Jim married in Surrey in April, 1944. Jim was sent back to Australia to serve in the Pacific, but the war ended before he flew there.

Germaine came to Australia on a ship containing returning servicemen and woman, as well as “war brides”. Germaine and Jim lived with his parents in Sydney until they could move into their new home on the then Northern edge of Sydney at Hornsby.

There they raised four children, Patricia,

James, Katherine and Paul. She lived in Hornsby, where she learned to drive and swim and to beach and river fish. She regularly visited the Monaro, where they bought a property on the Badja River, and she learned to fly fish.

After her husband’s death in 1986, Germaine donated a small scholarship to the University of Western Sydney for 6 years to a final year nursing student who came from or was going to, a rural area.

As well, she donated prizes to UWS in law subjects for some years.

She moved to their Monaro property after she sold the Sydney property. Here she learned the joys and frustrations of raising “fleecy ruminant quadrupeds whose sole purpose in life was to learn different ways to die”. In Britain she had bought “tissue Michel” from Botany and was pleased to learn the effort behind the product. She was a member and supporter of Nimmitabel Show for some years and donated prizes to the sheep section in support.

Germaine was so impressed by the work of the CSIRO’s Fine Wool Project, that she and another person provided the funds and support for the research and publication and promotion of Dark Fibre Risk and its influence on the international wool industry.

At her Monaro home she built a new garden, joined the Numeralla CWA, started travelling in Australia with her children and generally immersed herself in the local community, supporting the CoomaBombala Legacy with donations which she also made to Royal Flying Doctors Service, RSPCA, Police-Citizens Youth Clubs, Vinnies, and Cervical Cancer Research among other charitable Organisations.

She kept her brain active by doing the cryptic crosswords in the SMH and the British “Country Life” magazine, until about six months before she died.

Germaine will be missed by family and friends.

Workability gives Steven a step up Steven moved to the Cooma Monaro from Nowra. With the help and support of WorkAbility Steven was successful at gaining a job at Melray Meat at Polo Flat. The team members of Melray Meat have really taken him under their wing and he is loving his new role as a butcher’s assistant.

He works 5 days a week and he prepares the Hamburgers and Schnitzels. They have nicknamed him “The Burger King.”

In defence of brumbies the

postman calls

Well, that was certainly a great fillip for the town – 414 ex-Snowy workers back to celebrate 65 years since the start of the Snowy Scheme.

From the looks of things, age will not weary a lot of the folk who came back for the event.

Will there be a 70th reunion?

The Alpine Hotel was jumping on Sunday as Shannon O’Boyle launched her song book recording her late father, Ulick’s, words and music.

His contribution to local folklore can’t be underestimated, as his music, performed

by The Settlers, was a true record of thoughts and emotions of the time.

The many performers who turned up to celebrate did themselves proud.

Was it all it was quacked up to be?

Cooma Rotary Club’s inaugural duck race seemed to be pretty popular last Sunday, with spectators on hand to scrutinise the results.

Maybe the club could dam the creek and hold a fishing competition like they did about 40 years ago.

Or would that harmless bit of fun now be frowned upon by the authorities? It was terrific fun at the time.

Editor, Re: the Snowy brumby cannibals I note with both amusement and concern the article re the Snowy brumby (Tumut and Adelong Times Sept. 26Th,2014), titled “The grim story of the Snowy Mountains cannibal horses”.

The amusement arises from Mr Driscoll’s articulate but extremely false assertions in his long-winded tirade against the Snowy brumby, the concern arises from my understanding of Mr Driscoll’s real agenda, a campaign of falsehoods and misinformation masquerading as scientific comment intending to create and foment a negative public perception and sentiment against the Snowy brumby in order to develop public acceptance of government-ordained aerial cull shooting of the snowy brumby.

The assertions made by Mr Driscoll and Mr Banks, aided by creative photography challenges tens of thousands of years of evolution of Equus Caballus from Eohippus and the Dawn Horse to today’s contemporary equine,that the monogastric herbivore is in fact carnivorous,or at least omnivorous, a pronouncement of unparalleled gravity!

I wonder if Mr Driscoll and Mr Banks are graduates (with honours, of course) from some faculty of Environmental Fiction?

Mr Driscoll actually admits and acknowledges what brumby advocates have argued for a long, long time, that there is precious little peer reviewed scientific research into the brumbies presence, adaption to and integration into the mountain bio-diversity since around the early 1800’s, well before the National Park declarations and the emergence of the NPWS/Green caravan of fellow travellers, the Colong Foundation, National Parks Association, the Wilderness Society and Co. This band of idealogues is extremely adept at presenting their enviro-logic in a highly emotive, confrontational and usually circumspect manner in order to gain credibility and acceptance for their propositions.

Mr Driscoll makes much of his journey through the lower snowy and the purported impacts of the brumby. In March this year, Snowy Mountains Brumby Sustainability and Management Group representatives, along with representatives from other brumby advocate groups were taken

by NPWS officers through the very same areas, from Dead Horse Gap, Cascades, TinMines, Cowombat, Ingeegoodbee and Snowy Plains in an attempt to indoctrinate us as to purported adverse environmental impacts attributable to the brumby.

We were unanimous as a group in our reports that contradicts all Mr

Driscoll’s assertions and those of the NPWS. Mr Driscoll’s claims can now be seen as a lead into his real, underlying agenda, the aerial cull shooting and ultimately, the extinction of the Snowy brumby.

Readers at this point should be aware of a very important fact in the whole brumby debate-NPWS are still, now that the memories of State Labor and the NPWS gunship slaughter of the Guy Fawkes brumby are fading, strongly supportive of the concept of the aerial slaughter of the brumby.

At community interest meetings in both Jindabyne and Tumut, a senior NPWS officer is recorded as stating “that all control measures are on the table” in reply to SMBSMG questioning.

At a subsequent meeting between SMBSMG and other brumby advocates, a senior NPWS Director stated “that aerial culling would not be ruled out or ruled in”, again in response to SMBSMG questioning.

Alarmingly, these replies tell an objective observer that the NPWS, a government entity and funded by tax-payer dollars, formulate their own policies according to their own ideaology and Green philosophy, totally removed from Government policy or direction.

Environment Minister Stokes has either a total failure in control of his department or is a covert supporter of their policy of extinction of the snowy brumby.

As the matter stands, Minister Stokes and the entire Baird Coalition are in breach of the commitments given in the 2006 Memorandum Of Understanding where the now Government pledged, in return for electoral support, to ensure that brumbies in NSW are recognised as part of the cultural heritage of the State and recognised, preserved and protected as viable population and that shooting would not be permitted as a management tool.

Five local, regional Members of Parliament, the Premier and the Deputy Premier as well as Minister Stokes have all refused, in correspondence with SMBSMG, to acknowledge the existence of the MOU or commit to any support to the MOU since SMBSMG first made the contents of the document public at a series of community interest meetings.

Supporters of the Snowy brumby will do well this in mind as the next State election looms.

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

SMGS school leaders First taste of Big School at JCS

On Monday October 13 Snowy Mountains Grammar School hosted the 2015 Prefect and Senior Investiture in the Snowy Shed.

Although the weather was gloomy and wet, the atmosphere inside was filled with excitement and anticipation as students and staff gathered to witness the appointment of the leaders for the coming year. Amongst the audience sat some very proud parents and grandparents who had come to watch and support their children on this prestigious occasion.

As is the custom at Snowy Mountains Grammar, all students are presented with a Seniors Badge as they enter their final year of study at the school. This year, students were introduced by outgoing captains Fenneke Bannister and Mitchell Harrison, receiving their badges from Head of Year, Mrs Kelli Wilson.

The Prefects for 2015 were introduced to the school and formally appointed by Principal, Mr

Andrew Bell , receiving their badges from Head of Senior School, Mrs Sue West. In 2015, the school will be led by Bellamie Hansen and Sean Richards. Sean and Bellamie will be ably assisted by prefects Lucas Bollard, Mitch Breitfuss, Lily Dalby, Angelique Kiekens, Joshua Matthes, Seren Onur, Aaron Pidcock, Natasha Pidcock, Matilda Smith, Magdalen Tugwell, Lucy Wiles, and Megan Wright.

Parent of incoming School Captain Sean Richards, Mrs Caroline Richards said â&#x20AC;&#x153; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see Sean being given the privilege to lead the school as he has been a student at the school since kindergarten and he will now have the opportunity to give back in his final year of study.â&#x20AC;?

With the appointments now in place, the new Senior Year will begin their final journey in secondary education and it will be their time to lead and shape the school for 2015.

Five-year-old Ryker Williams was awake and dressed before sunrise last Thursday.

By 5.20am, Ryker was ready and waiting to begin his first day at â&#x20AC;&#x153;big schoolâ&#x20AC;?.

It was the first day of KindyStart at Jindabyne Central School (JCS) and Ryker, along with 69 other four and five year olds, was about to get his first taste of what life will be like next year when he starts school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ryker has been so excited about coming to big school,â&#x20AC;? his mum Sasha Heath said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He tried on his uniform last night and he wanted to wear it today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to come to school with his big sister.â&#x20AC;?

Not everyone was as excited as Ryker, who is familiar with the school routine given his sister Teyvia started kindergarten last year.

David Hume, who is also from Jindabyne, had a few tears and lots of nerves before his big day.

Five-year-old David is the first child in his family to start school and his mum Karen Buckley confessed that, along with the excitement, there had been lots of nerves â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not just for David but for herself too.

Mum of four-year-old Amina Dimitrieski, Snezana Dimitrieski, had similar feelings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m actually excited but also a bit sad,â&#x20AC;? she said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems like yesterday she was in my arms as a baby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken lots of photos this morning. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big day.â&#x20AC;?

While the 70 children were delivered to what will be their classrooms next year and introduced to the school routine, their parents were welcomed to JCS by primary school captains Molly Robinson and Nick McLennan.

Molly told parents JCS is a happy place for children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a place where our successes are celebrated and we are supported Ryker Williams and his big sister Teyvia. to become confident, responsible citizens,â&#x20AC;? she Principal Debbie-Lee Hughes said. said KindyStart was a transition â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are encouraged and taught program that aimed to provide to be leaders, to be responsible information sessions, workshops for our actions and make and getting-to-know-you sensible choices to learn from our opportunities for new parents and mistakes.â&#x20AC;? students.

Your Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shed ready for action The newly formed Nimmitabel Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shed is off to a raging start, with a list of 25 paid members already joining the ranks.

The man behind the idea, Howard Charles, has said that this initial interest highlights just how much the area needs something like this. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get more and more interest every time we have a meeting,â&#x20AC;? Mr Charles said at a recent Council meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The response has been really wonderful,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The shed will be holding their next meeting at the Nimmitabel train station on October 25 at 9am.

One of the first things

on the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agenda will be the upkeep and maintenance of the railway station, which until now has been rather neglected.

All the men who join the shed receive training in how to appropriately handle the various power tools and are also covered by insurance for the use of this equipment.

After his presentation to Council on Monday October 13, Mr Charles received what would appear to be full support from the Cooma Monaro Shire Councillors and can continue to develop this great asset for the men of the Nimmitabel community.

Wind farm takes shape Work at Boco Rock continues this month, with all 67 turbine towers now installed.

Installation of nacelles and rotors is following close behind with almost two thirds of the turbines now completely assembled.

The on-site substation is fully functional and is a hive of activity as turbines are progressively connected. As such, turbine commissioning is now underway, with our electrical teams running a number of tests on individual turbines, and on the turbine clusters.

On-ground site rehabilitation has now commenced along roads and cable trenching routes, and along the transmission lines.

On-site rehabilitation includes reseeding and weeding works, as well as a monitoring period, and will continue over the coming weeks.

Component delivery phase completeâ&#x20AC;Ś The component transport phase was

wrapped up in September, six weeks ahead of schedule, with Rex J Andrews having completed deliveries of components for the

67 turbines from the Port of Eden site.

There may be a few additional component deliveries later in the year, as spare parts are brought in ahead of operation.

Around the project, we are working closely with Cooma-Monaro Shire Council to undertake road works on sealed and unsealed sections of Springfield Road. With other activities winding down, there should also be less project related traffic in the area; however, we continue to seek your assistance by taking care on the local roads.

Community Fund Committee members have been selectedâ&#x20AC;Ś Congratulations to Mr Richard Lawson and Mrs Lesley Smith on their successful nominations to the Cooma Monaro and Bombala Community Fund Committees.

Mr Lawson and Mrs Smith will work with Council and wind farm staff to allocate funds from the Boco Rock Community Funds from next year.

We look forward to working with the community and Councils to invest in the region.

‘BRICKKILN’ DALGETY Heather Anoleck Dip FMBM

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

488 Murranumbla Road Asking $829,000

It makes sense to see a broker when it comes to choosing the right home loan for your circumstances.

There are many differences between Banks/Lenders, not restricted to interest rates & fees. They have differing policies as well that can mean the difference between being approved or declined for your dream home.

I have access to many different Lenders, which allows me to compare the different options available to you. I will then present options to you, with my recommendation, as to which option I feel is best for your circumstance.

First Home Buyers - who have no idea of the requirements or process involved in buying your first home, I can offer you advice. I can give you all the information you need - how much you can borrow, what deposit you need, explain about guarantees and mortgage insurance. I also do all the processing for you, making it as easy as possible for you.

Existing home loans- if you want to see if there is a better deal out there for you, I can offer a free review.

Investment property - not sure if you can afford that investment property? Don’t know how much equity is available in your existing home? I can look at your options for you.

Upgrading- you may not have to wait until you sell your existing home. Let me show you the possibilities.

No matter what your circumstance, I am happy to offer my advice. Call now for a free appointment on 0431 351 873.

‘Songs of the Snowy Mountains’ launched in fine style

Shannon O’Boyle paid tribute to her late father, Ulick, last Sunday with the launch of a book of his words and music.

“Songs of the Snowy Mountains” contains work composed by Ulick O’Boyle while he worked on the Snowy Scheme.

But as he could not read or write music, Shannon has had to enlist the help of Alan

and Leslie Spencer of Cooma Music, to transcribe all the chords into sheet music. The result is a permanent record of Ulick’s work.

The launch at the Alpine Hotel on Sunday afternoon drew a big crowd, with many musos taking the opportunity to get on stage to honour Ulick and his music.

Anne Rutherford, Shannon’s

mother and an original member of The Settlers, was able to explain how some of the songs were written, such as the poignant “Old Jindbyne” which marked the loss of the old township under the waters of the lake.

Another orignal, Paul Davey was also on hand to play and sing to the audience.

The book was officially

launched by cultural historian Graham Dodsworth, who described Ulick’s work as irreplacable.

Pictured above left, Shannon O’Boyle and her mother Anne.

Identifying Barberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pole worm infestations now easier Outbreaks of barberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pole worm in central and southern NSW have highlighted the benefits of knowing what species of worms are actually present, so that effective treatments can quickly be used.

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just NSW. With varied seasonal conditions, areas of Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia see barberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pole worm where scour worms are typically the problem. In northern NSW and Queensland, the reverse can

be true.

Wormboss.com.au, Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sheep worm control resource, recommends worm egg counts with larval cultures to identify worm species, but the skills to identify different worm species is a specialist task that few laboratories can now do with accuracy.

Dr Lewis Kahn, the Executive Officer of ParaBoss (which manages WormBoss, FlyBoss and LiceBoss), said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A new DNA test has solved this lack of skills. The test identifies the

different species of roundworms with their proportions calculated in a fraction of the time and with improved accuracy compared to traditional larval cultures.â&#x20AC;?

Researchers at the University of Melbourne, in collaboration with AusDiagnostics, developed this novel approach for the specific diagnosis of the most important roundworm species infecting sheep, including barberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pole worm, brown stomach worm, black scour worms, small intestinal worms, large-mouthed bowel worm, nodule worms and large bowel worms.

This new diagnostic approach uses minute

amounts of roundworm DNA present in the faeces of infected sheep. The test can be conducted within two-three days, rather than the seven days required for the conventional larval culture technique, and has improved sensitivity and accuracy. It is still used in conjunction with a normal worm egg count, but allows the diagnosis of a wide range of roundworm parasites with high precision.

The new test has so far been installed at Veterinary Health Research (VHR) in Armidale, NSW (in collaboration with Merial Australia) and Gribbles Veterinary in Clayton, Victoria.

Dr Kahn believes that this new test will enable sheep producers to respond faster to worm infections and provides a more accurate indication of drench resistance across worm species. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Identifying the level and species of roundworm infection in a mob is essential for making optimal decisions about if, and when, animals should be treated, and allows producers to design control programs and use products that will target the particular roundworms that are present.

Producers are encouraged to subscribe to the monthly ParaBoss News to receive updates and news about worms, flies, lice and their control: www. paraboss.com.au.

YOU NAME IT,, WE MOVE IT

The new DNA test can differentiate the worms in a mob and guide treatments choices well before sheep become badly affected with bottle jaw (the swelling below the normal line of the jaw shown below the dotted line).

Greendale Merinos On October 29 Greendale Merinos, operated by Alan and Mark McGufficke and families will be offering 80, 14-month old rams at ‘Willarney’ 850 Maffra Road, Cooma using an Open Auction.

The sale commences at 10am, with pre sale inspection 8am.

Greendale Merinos have more than 30 years of independently measured results showing well above average profitability and production in comparison trials across NSW benchmarking our performance against major merino industry bloodlines. We use the tools and technology available to us to keep increasing the productivity, profit and sustainability of our animals on a very commercial basis so you have the confidence in the rams you buy that they will add profit and sustain the growth in your business.

Highly profitable results of Greendale Merinos is shown in the latest Merino Bloodline 200 to 20 www. merinobloodline.com.au.

There are three major things that go into the wool cheque, micron, yield and kilos of wool.

At Greendale Merinos, from an extensive ewe base, a comprehensive testing program that measures all traits that affect a merinos profitability (fleece weight, micron, fertility and body weight) is used to select only the highest performing sires and ewes to be retained for the nucleus ram breeding flock.

Current results include Monaro Farming Systems Trial – Delegate 2013 Profit (Gross Margin/DSE) - Greendale Genetics ranked 1st, 4th, 6th, 7th, 9th, 12th and 17th of 24 teams.

The leading Greendale team was 107% ($35.16) more profitable than the lowest ranked team in this trial.

June 2014 saw the conclusion of the Bookham Ag four-year Genetic Trial.

The trial commenced in 2011 and was run at R & G Robertson’s property near Bookham. Thirty-three teams came from New England, Riverina, Monaro and local areas representing a cross section of bloodlines.

McGufficke Partners team had the heaviest fleece weight and the highest return in both $/head and $/ha team for the four years of the trial.

In addition, Mayfield Partnership (operated by Dean and Marcelle Incher Adaminaby – using Greendale Merinos bloodline) had the third highest value team for the four years of the trial.

Second heaviest fleece weight.

Peter Westblade Memorial Merino Challenge - B & E Dwyer, Dairymore, Alectown ranked fourth for $/DSE of 60 teams participating - 20 perent above trial average The aim and objective of the trials are to measure the performance of these animals genetics under the same environment and management conditions. Greendale Merinos has been collecting and using ASBV data for four years. Breeding values s are used as a selection too. (ASBV data enables commercial sheep producers access to a tool to identify and select sires with superior genetics to suit their breeding objectives when purchasing rams).

Greendale Merino has also seen the introduction of genetics from Hazeldean, Nerstane and Centre Plus.

Clients using Greendale Merino genetics have reported up to 15 percent better lamb marking results in an on property bloodline comparison with Greendale genetic rams against their existing genetics.

Sire Evaluations have seen Greendale Merinos continue to receive positive results. Contact Alan on 0429 44 8078 or home 02 64 523605.

Buying land - donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to check for noxious weeds Noxious Weeds are often forgotten when purchasing land and the following considerations should be taken prior to the signing of a contract.

The cost of removing a Blackberry Bush on a residential block in town may be less significant than controlling a large Serrated Tussock infestation on a grazing property, however this can still be an unforseen financial burden for the new landholder if not budgeted for.

Questions you should ask yourself 1. Are there noxious weeds present on the property?

2. Are noxious weed infestations being managed / controlled?

3. What are the costs associated with weed control?

4.

Are there any outstanding Weed Control Notices on the property?

5. Will noxious weeds reduce the production of the land if used for primary production?

6. Are there any noxious weeds that could be potentially harmful to livestock?

Answer Step 1 Before purchasing, you should arrange to have someone with knowledge of weeds to inspect the property with you.

If weeds are found on the property, a weed control operator can provide a cost estimate for control work.

Council does not provide information on control costs, however, can provide contact details of suitable weed control operators experienced in these matters.

Step 2 Research what noxious weeds are in the area where you are looking at buying property. Council has weed management plans for all declared noxious weeds in the Shire which will indicate local requirements regarding their control.

Step 3 Your solicitor should request a Section 64

A variety of noxious weeds requiring control under the Noxious Weeds Act 1993. and a 149(5) Certificate from Council. A section 64 Certificate under the Noxious Weeds Act 1993 will provide information on any outstanding Weed Control Notices over the property or money payable to Council

in relation to noxious weed control.

FACT SHEET Any debts and/or outstanding Weed Control Notices remain with the property upon sale and may

become the responsibility of the purchaser. The small cost of an independent inspection and a Section 64 Certificate may save you thousands of dollars in unplanned noxious weed control.

If you require further

information, please contact Roger Roach on (02) 64551942, email council@ cooma.nsw.gov.au or Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s web www.cooma. nsw.gov.au.

Final Fenthion decision Most products containing the chemical fenthion are now cancelled bringing to a close the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reconsideration of this chemical.

A final report, published by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (the APVMA), outlines the reasons for the final decision and takes into account submissions from governments, growers and the community.

It brings together the outcomes of all risk assessments done to date, including toxicology, residues in food, worker exposure and environmental effects.

All horticultural uses except for post-harvest dipping of tropical and subtropical inedible peel fruits are now cancelled.

Products used to control cattle lice and other pest control and home garden products are also cancelled.

This follows previous regulatory actions taken by the APVMA in October 2012 to restrict uses of fenthion products in food production.

The APVMA is allowing a phase-out period of 12 months to enable use of cancelled products.

The current instructions for use of the horticultural product (that apply by permits) will continue during this time period. This phase-out period is consistent with the recommendation of the recent Senate Inquiry.

The decision The APVMA has decided to: â&#x20AC;˘ vary the label of the horticultural product Lebaycid Insecticide Spray to delete all uses except post-harvest dipping of tropical and subtropical inedible peel fruits â&#x20AC;˘ vary the label of the pest control one percent fenthion dust to delete all uses except in cracks and crevices â&#x20AC;˘ cancel the cattle lice control product Tiguvon Spot-on Cattle Lice Insecticide â&#x20AC;˘ cancel all other pest control and home

garden products containing fenthion.

Consultation The decision follows a final round of consultation (closed 22 August 2014) based on the preliminary review findings, which were published in May 2014.

A total of 15 submissions were received with no additional information or scientific data submitted for consideration. Following assessment of the submissions, the APVMA determined that the proposals put forward did not sufficiently reduce the risks associated with fenthion.

More information about the fenthion review process, as well as responses to issues raised, can be found in the submission and additional information provided to the Senate Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport References Committee. Background Fenthion is a broad spectrum organophosphorus (OP) insecticide.

It was previously registered for use on a range of horticultural crops, including apples, avocado, capsicums, cucurbits, custard apples, grapes, mangoes, paw paw, pears, tomatoes, stone fruit and ornamentals.

Fenthion products were first registered more than 40 years ago under the state-based approval processes, prior to the establishment of the APVMA. The review of fenthion commenced in late 1998 based on environment, human health, residues in food and trade concerns.

The potential removal of the use of fenthion on certain crops has been known to the agricultural industry for several years and the review has gone through many phases to allow industry to generate and submit data to support the possible continued use of the chemical.

For more information about the fenthion review visit the APVMA website.

St Pat’s riders perform well at interschools gymkhana

Shelley Kleven and Amaranda Moet in the dressage competition.

Right: St Pats riders celebrate their performances at Berry.

St Pat student Shelley Kleven, in Year 4, travelled with her parents, Kim and John, her brother Jack and her pony Amaranda Moet, to Werribee near Melbourne for the 2014 National Interschools Equestrian Championships.

Shelley was our State representative for NSW. At Werribee, Shelley and Moet competed over four days of competition in events which included dressage, and working hunter classes.

The Nationals was run like the Olympics with opening and closing ceremonies, athletes parading in their State’s uniform, and award winners receiving their ribbons on a podium at the end of each day of competition.

Shelley was up on the podium to receive a fourth in the Led Component of the Primary Working Hunter, a sixth in the Rider Class component of the Primary Working Hunter, a fifth in the Primary Preliminary Dressage 1.2 and being a member of the NSW Primary Dressage Team, she was awarded the Reserve Champion Team sash. These results are thrilling for Shelley who is only 10-years-old and was competing against primary school riders up to two years older than her.

Over the October long weekend seven equestrian riders from St Patricks Parish School travelled to Worrigee (South Nowra) to compete at the 2014 Berry Interschools Gymkhana.

Three intense days of competition took place and included events in the individual disciplines of dressage,

hacking, sporting, showjumping, hunter and working equitation.

All seven St Pats riders presented well and were amazing ambassadors for their school. There was team spirit aplenty with riders providing support and assistance to each other throughout the competition - the most senior down to the most junior.

As happens in any sport, some riders were affected by circumstances out of their control and it could well be said that the actual results don’t necessarily reflect how all our riders performed but it certainly did reflect a high level of sportsmanship, good grace and team loyalty.

Well done to all St Pat’s riders and we are looking forward to the next event! Individual results were: MAEGAN McCRAW –Year 10 4th Secondary Working Equitation; 3rd One Flag Race; 4th Scudahoe Race; 4th Western Bend Race EMMILEE REID – Year 6 3rd Prep C Primary Dressage; 4th Prelim 1:3 Primary Dressage; 2nd Super Phase 45 cm Primary Showjump 4th 60cm Primary Interschool Challenge MADDIE STOTT – Year 4 3rd Prelim 1.2 Primary Dressage; 1st Novice Primary Dressage; 1st 45cm Fault & Out Showjump; 3rd 45cm AM7 Showjump; 4th 45cm Super Phase Showjump; 1st Bend Bar Aft; 2nd Western Bend; 1st 45cm Inter- school Challenge; Champion Primary Dressage Rider; Champion

Rhythm business award Nicholas claims a third old record Nicholas Stead surpassed his Uncle Tyson Stead’s U/7 boys Cooma Centre discus record of 15.66m with a massive throw of 16.11m last Thursday night.

This is the third long-standing record that Nick has claimed within 12 months. As an U/6 Nick broke an 18-year standing shot put record and later also broke his Uncle Tyson’s discus record which stood for 25 years, and now, another 25 year old record has gone by wayside.

It was another fantastic night for athletics, with 10 athletes going within 10 percent of their age group records.

Top 10 track performances 1. Most outstanding athlete on the night was U/13 Maria Tarasyuk who topped the track ratings with two performances within the striking zone of the records in her age group. Maria flashed past the finishing post to record a excellent time in the 50m of 7.81 sec just 3/10th of a second behind the record.

2. U/15 James Harding claimed the hottest 100m time of the night with 12.90 sec.

3. Reuben Hooper U/11 oy electrified the track in his 100m clocking 15.10 sec.

4. Bailey Roger (U/14) set a new PB over the 100m in 13.50 sec.

5. U/13 Girl Emma Watkins also claimed a new PB as she posted her fastest time over the 50m in 8.21 sec 6. Maria Tarasyuk in the 100m had her running faster than her time in the50m at 6.40m/ sec; over the 100m her time of 15.03 sec had her cruising at 6.65m/sec.

7. Nick Zusak (U/13) just shy of his PB over the 50m in 7.62 sec.

8. Young Damian Kennedy had a PB of over ½ second improvement from his last season best in the U/8m 70m.

9. U/11 Olo Brademann, is reducing his times over nearly all the distances he is racing in this

season. This week he was in the 400m, clipping off 5 seconds from his PB over the one lapper to post a time of 1:18.09 sec.

10. Jordan Davis just edged out Hugo Steiner by the narrowest margin over the 100m dash by 0.06 sec. Jordan’s time of 15.90 sec and Hugo’s 15.96 sec.

The Top 10 Field Performances 1. Nicholas Stead breaking the U/7 boy discus record with a mighty heave of 16.11m.

2. Hugo Steiner setting a PB in the U/12 hlgh jump leaping 4.13m.

3. James Harding also set PB in the U/15 high jump clearing 1.53m.

4. Bailey Rogers claimed his PB in the U/14 high jump not far behind James with a height of 1.40m.

5. New Boy having his first out in the older age group Kayne John-Smith reached a height of 1.38m.

6. Nick Zusak Triple jump in the U/13’s group cleared 8.25m to claimed season best.

7. Jordan Davis 3.70m in the U/12 boys hlgh jump also was a season best.

8. Maddy Stott U/11 girl shows us she has some potential in the high jump clearing 1.05m.

9. Emma McDonald opened the season with an inspiring leap in the U/13 girls triple jump with 7.39m.

10. Ella Davis U/13 rounded off the top 10 field with 21.98m in the discus.

The U/6’s had their first try out at shot put this week where they learnt the different between a throw and push. With some competition under their belt in this event there should be some good throwers amongst them. Remember, nearly all shot putters started out this way.

This week as we head into our straight hurdle competition.

Also, for all ages from U/7 and older, try to have your relay team organised and ready to go for team relays at the end of the nightly program.

Stallions AGM next week It seem like the Rugby league season has just finished but the Stallions committee have been hard at it and have looked to have secured coaches in all grades for season 2015. They have also been in contact with prospective players to help strengthen the depth and look to get that group 16 first grade title that has eluded the Stallions for a number of years.

At this stage there looks to be another contingent coming from the UK and the committee have also been communication with a few players from the Canberra region and all looks promising.

holding their AGM on Wednesday October 22 at the Cooma Ex -Services club commencing at 6pm.

All positions will be left open and the Stallions are asking all interested in helping the Stallions have a successful 2015 to come along and volunteer to help. Even if it’s just to help set up the ground or help out in the canteen, as they say many hands make light work.

If you ask any of the current committee it is also very rewarding and a lot of fun.

Also any players that are thinking of having a run next year in all four grades including ladies in the successful Fillies outfit your very welcome. Please feel free to get in touch with the Stallions.

Ultima Chance wins Bombala Cup Glorious sunny weather provided perfect conditions for patrons at the Bombala Cup Race-meeting on Saturday.

In a thrilling finish, the Dongwha Timbers 2014 Bombala Cup was won by Ultima Chance ($3.40 fav) trained at Goulburn by Scott Collings and ridden by Roly Saxton.

Jumping from the outside barrier in the seven horse field, Saxton looked intent to lead however proved content to be second in the running when another horse kicked up on the rail, until eventually taking the lead uncontested at the 500m mark.

Meanwhile, the top-weight Baldovino ($4.20) with Tash Burleigh aboard was in hot pursuit whilst Carly Frater commenced to stoke up Back To Zero ($4.00) from the 300 metres and was the widest on entering the straight.

In the last 50 metres Saxton needed to ride with extreme vigour as Baldovino was gaining with every stride.

Saxton’s experience seemingly proved the difference when he urged Ultima Chance to prevail by a head margin from Baldovino ($4.20) and with Back To Zero ($4.00) in third placing a length behind.

The trainer Collings commenced riding as a Bombala school boy for trainers Bradley Matthews and the late Lou Black before commencing a jockey’s apprenticeship with Ken Callaghan at Capricorn Park near Murrumbateman and was later to ride for Barbara Joseph.

He rounded out his riding career at the picnic races before taking up training. He trains Ultima Chance for owners Michael and “Pat” Leahy, EJ Smith and Debbie Card, the horse’s strapper.

The horse has now won six races, three of those in the last six weeks, and was the winner of the 2013 Adaminaby Cup, a race he will also likely contest in late November.

Race 1 on Saturday was the RSL Club, Calabria Wines & Landmark Maiden Hcp over 900m and was taken out by Woodcutter Girl ridden

by S Shimizu for Traralgon trainer Robert Lont. Woodcutter Girl was third in running up the hill behind the pacemakers but proved too strong to come away to win by a ½ length from Springwood Lass, trained by Scott Collings for Amanda Collings and Gary Moreing, and with a further ½ length to Magic Rose in third placing.

Race 2 was the Wilton Logging Pty Ltd & Village Ford Maiden Plate over 1200m and saw veteran jockey Kevin Sweeney make it look easy, jumping from barrier one on Patagonia Belle ($5) to lead all the way for an effortless win. It was just under 2 lengths back to Yeeha ($2.30fav), ridden by Roly Saxton, and Whispering Bec ($9) was another 3 ½ lengths back in third. Patagonia Belle is trained in Canberra by Gratz Vella.

Race 3 was the Boco Rock Wind Farm Benchmark 45 Hcp over 1400m and saw six runners

headed to the barriers. In another keenly contested event, Summer Duck Wood ($2.60), trained by John Peiti at Moruya and ridden

by Roly Saxton, proved a little too strong to nail Short Stay ($5), ridden by apprentice Miki Nakao, right on the line to prevail by a head margin from Sea ‘N’ Believe three lengths in arrears.

The Merimbula Lake Oysters, Monaro Wool & Shute Bell Benchmark 45 Hcp over 1100m was Race 4 and had a maximum field of 10 runners. The Bairnsdale visitor Ballydoyle led the field a merry dance into the Bombala hill whilst the eventual winner Kaboombie Boy ($6.50) settled in third.

On entering the straight, jockey Jason Devrimol navigated Kaboombie around the leaders and down the middle of the track for an unimpeded journey to the winning post. He prevailed by just under two lengths from Our Cracker ($4.40 fav), ridden by Carley F r a t e r, and with Fast Money a further 2 ½ lengths back in third placing.

The winner is trained at Queanbeyan by Garry Clarke for PV Newton.

T h e M u r p h y ’s Transport & Building SuppliesLou Black Memorial Class1 and Maiden Plate over 1700m w a s the last race o n the day and attracted a field of nine runners who started in the straight in front of the crowd. On barrier rise Mamiya scooted across to lead from the outside gate whilst Carly Frater aboard the favourite Given No Hope ($2.50) was perhaps a little further back in running than she planned pre-race, subsequent to some scrimmaging before the first turn. Nonetheless, the promising apprentice bided her time back in the field and, after the pace slackened mid race, she positioned herself on the rail just behind the leaders on entering the straight.

As the leaders left the rail as they straightened, Frater drove Given No Hope through the gap to go to the lead and stuck on in a fighting finish over Kamiya, ridden by Jason Devrimol for Queanbeyan trainer

Joe Cleary and with Starcrazy, ridden by Deane Panya for Darryl Rolfe from Canberra, back in third.

The winner, raced by Peter and Barbara Joseph along with her sons Paul and Matt Jones, is well bred being by Redoutes Choice from Patou, a mare formerly trained by Mrs Joseph to win eight races and to be placed at listed level.

The win by Given No Hope of the race named in honour of the

Carly-Mae Pye in race falls during the preceding week in South Australia and Queensland respectively, jockeys across Australia on Saturday wore black arm bands, and at Bombala a minute’s silence was taken, as a mark of veneration for these two female jockeys who at the time of their

late Lou Black was a special one for the owners as they recalled their relationship with him over their lifetimes. As they celebrated their win, the group raised their glasses to the memory of their mate “Black”, as he was affectionately known, a gentleman and a very good horseman who trained numerous winners from the backyard of his home at Bombala over multiple decades. His recent passing marked the end of an era for his generation of trainers in the south east racing area of NSW. Whilst the racing was exciting and great spectacle on Saturday, the danger involved for the jockeys involved is ever present. With the deaths of jockeys Caitlin Forrest and

death were in the prime of their chosen career.

2014 Blue Veins Crabs Golden New bowling season begins soon Oldies rugby carnival

Pictured: Golden Oldies match at Jindabyne earlier this year.

The Bunnies have come out of their burrows & are showing more teeth than Bugs with a new carrot, but the Blue Veins are also still pumping!

Yes, it is again time for the kids to watch their dads enjoy a day playing rugby union.

Saturday, October 25th at the Tathra Beach Country Club rugby ovals, will be this year’s most awaited rugby smorgasbord for those who thought that their boots were more of a home to spiders than the vehicle to reclaim dim and distant skills. It will be the opportunity to share stories and memories of props pinged, rolling mauls that covered 25 yards and resulted in the hooker with the biggest cauliflower ears you ever saw scoring a try, appreciating the hair and beauty requirements of those in the backline, and just recall a helluva lot of fun with mates.

All are most welcome to come and watch.

If you want a game, bring $25 for your day registration and membership of the Blue Veins as well as your own playing gear. If you want to become a full member and join us on our other trips during the year, bring $50. Turn up at about 11 o’clock.

Make sure that you have at least Ambulance insurance cover. You play at your own risk.

So far we have commitments from the Shoalhaven Heads SHAGs, Wollongong Viking Longhorns, ACT Viking Thor Heads, Jindabyne Sore Bores, Vincentia Van Gones, Bateman’s Bay Olde Boars, the ACT Vets, the local Teachers Pets ( a branch of the Blue Veins), and ourselves, the Blue Veins. Cooma’s Knackered Brumbies are a chance to appear, but this year we will welcome the Braidwood Daddy Long Legs for their initial trip to Tathra.

With Golden Oldies you never know who will be there until they turn up.

The Carnival begins on Friday night at the Tathra Pub and the crab races, where all can catch up with a bit of a yarn & a couple of beverages.

Whales have been organised to swim past

below the Hotel verandah at about 9 am on Saturday morning whilst the barbdecue breakfast and spine stiffeners are being consumed.

Games will be played on Saturday from about 11:30 to about 3:30, but everything will be over by 4:30, so everyone has the opportunity to shower before watching the running of the Cox Plate. Yes, sport is the focus of the Carnival.

The Rules The score is always 2-all. Players are there for fun, friendship & fraternity.

Players of different ages wear different coloured shorts which give them different levels of protection.

Red shorts - may be held but not put to the ground. Mainly for the over 60s.

Yellow shorts - for the over 70s and they cannot be touched. They also cannot run more than 10 metres (even if they could).

Purple shorts - for over 75s. They can do as they please.

There is no weight in the scrums, and the number 8’s must stay bound and not pick up from the back. This rule was introduced to prevent Blue Vein Michael Crowley from stuffing up a perfectly good backline movement.

There is no kicking (of the football) allowed.

Half backs must not follow the ball around a scrum.

At presentation time, the Mick Byrnes Memorial Award will be presented for the fifth year. Last year’s trophy was awarded to John “Storky” Martin, a man who has promoted rugby union for over 50 years on the South Coast, and was particularly responsible for the encouragement and establishment of Golden Oldies Rugby south of Wollongong.

See you at the ovals. Yes, plural. The original rugby oval was duplicated last year and the Tathra Country Club Greenkeepers, Robert Collins and Peter Smith, have done a fabulous job of maintaining and improving the surfaces.

Cooma Swimming Club Cooma swimmers took to the water on Wednesday in weather more suited to skiing.

Welcome to new members Hayden Dykstra, Gracye Boucher, Holly Newsome, Oliver Woolley, Sam and Georgia Rumball and Georgia and Brianna Nowland.

The Club has started a set of records for the Cooma Pool (dating back a couple of seasons).

New swimmer Hayden Dykstra set two new records in the 12yrs boys, 25m free and back.

Georgia Nowland broke the 11yrs girls in 25m breast and back.

Chelsea Lunt broke the 12yrs girls 100m free.

Several swimmers have been up-graded this

week with Hayden Dykstra and Georgia Nowland progressing in all three swims.

Brianna Nowland in breast and back, Lily Janota and Harley Hassell in breast.

The times swum last week will be the swimmers entry time for forth oming time trials and improvement points will commence this week.

Swimmers are reminded that they must be registered by this coming Wednesday. Please remember if you are not swimming at a time trial night or you are not swimming all events parents are to notify the race secretary by 5.30pm Wednesday

There were 20 players for social bowls on Saturday, the best for some time.

Dawn Russell and Jack Sajina had a gret battle with Ev Hamilton and Geoff Venables to trail 11/12 at the halfway point. Twelve points to six in the run home gave Ev and Geoff the game 24/17.

Mario Frezza, Terry Gutterson (a

Wednesday October 22, 2014

Monaro cricket competition results Crawford, Minehan, Blencowe club champs Jindabyne V BerridaleJindabyne won the toss and elected to bat under clear skies on a slow Berridale ground. Jindabyne got off to a steady start against some hostile bowling from Laurence Redmond (0-18) and Jack Parkyn (123). B Patterson (26) was looking fairly comfortable before chasing an Alex Bruce (1/10) bumper saw Patterson sky the ball for a simple catch. Declan Gregory (1/7) picking up a wicket with his first ball saw Jindabyne stumble at 3/77. A big 69 run partnership between Steve Dunn (52*) and Craig Dixon (34*) with some crushing straight drives from Dunn and a couple of massive 6’s from Dixon helped Jindabyne to a very handy score of 3/146.

Jindabyne got off to a good start with the ball with Craig Dixon (1/26) getting the early wicket.

This didn’t slow Simon Walsh (83) as Berridales English import took to the Jindabyne attack. At 3/66 things could have turned bad for Berridale with Walsh put down twice in two balls. Matthew Robinson (34*) and Simon Walsh proceded to put on 73 for the fourth wicket in quick time. The pair just about had the run chase won at 3/135 with three overs remaining before a stunning late over collapse bought on by a couple of tight overs from Steve Dunn saw the match come down to the last two balls with Matthew Robinson on strike requiring seven runs to win from two balls. Matthew Lowe (1/21) dropping the first one short and Matthew Robinson crushing a pull shot for four. The last ball was a full toss which was mishit to mid wicket with a single run scored. Jindabyne holding on to win by two runs.

Geoff Burgess in action on Sunday.

Cooma Golf report by Garry Atkinson With the golf course in tip top condition and major events on offer, now is the time to hit the golf course.

The Club Championships for 2014 were decided over the weekend and with the High Country Automotive Cooma Open on the November 1 and 2 and junior golf starting up on Sunday afternoon (six-hole afternoon comp.) on November 9 (after the Cooma Open) it’s all happening as spring golf breaks out across the Monaro.

The big news of the week of course was the finalisation of the club champions for 2014.

Congratulations go to Dave Crawford A grade champion (from Dave Robinson), Denis Minehan B grade champion (from Phil Amey) and Kerry Blencowe C grade champion (from Martin Gellings and Neil Venables) for 2014. Junior champion goes to Sam Patricks from second placed Alex Childs.

So what happened during the week of golf that was…

Saturday saw 52 golfers enjoy fabulous conditions with the scores reflecting this in round three of the club championships. Sam Patricks won A grade with a fine 69 nett.

In B grade Roy Hankinson won the day with a 70 nett. from Jeff Burgess with a 71 nett.

In C grade Neil Venables had a fine 69 nett. to win from Bill Dyball with a 72 nett. Ball winners went to 74 nett.

Longest drives on the 15th went to Dave Crawford in A grade, Roy

Hankinson in B grade and Stephen Edgenton in C grade.

Nearest the pin winner on the ninth was Phil Patricks.

The final round of the club championships for 2014 was conducted on Sunday.

In the individual stroke also played Col Langdon took out A grade with a 70 nett. on a countback from Christian Stockl.

B grade was won by Denis Minehan (66 nett.) from Roy Hankinson with 71 nett. and C grade was taken out by Kerry Blencowe with a 72 nett. from Martin Gelling with a 76 nett.

Ball winners went down to 73 nett.

A grade longest drive was taken out

by Dave Crawford, B grade Wayne Ryan and C grade Neil Venables.

Nearest the pin on the ninth was won by Jeff Burgess and Col Langdon took out the 17th.

On Wednesday 15 brave golfers played in the men’s single stableford event in very ordinary conditions.

The day saw some good scores with Mal Crockett firing a fine 39 points to win from Geoff Bohringers on 34. Ball winners went to 28 points. Brian Searl won nearest the pin on the 17th hole.

Next weekend sees single medley stablefords the order of the day for all three competition days. We also have the junior Sunday afternoon six-hole comp. starting up in three weeks time.

See you on the greens.

Berridale V DalgetyBerridale won the toss and elected to bat and got off to a sluggish start thanks to some quality swing bowling from Bob Smith (2/14) and Jake Hedger (2/10) had Berridale in real trouble at 2/4 off three overs. Laurence Redmond (22) joined James Cahill (19) with the pair putting on 30 and giving the Berridale side a chance of setting a defendable score. The young Berridale tail did the job in the final overs posting a small but defendable 8/101.

Berridale would have to bowl and field extremely well to restrict Dalgety to under 101. Berridale got off to a great start with the Dalgety opening batsman seemingly happy to see off the new ball with Laurance Redmond (0/4) and Jake Riley (2/11) bowling a good line and length and not giving away any easy runs. Dalgety were struggling to get the ball off the square and after seven overs Dalgety were 0/12 and the run rate had blown out to eight an over.

With the introduction of spin the run rate increased but wickets quickly followed with Andrew Bartell (2/8) finding some form. A classic catch from Ben Hearn saw the dismissal of Peter Robbin for 23 and

the match quickly swung in Berridale’s way. Simon Freebody (22) threatened to mount a late over come back but a couple of run outs stifled the struggling Dalgety run chase. The match ended with Berridale winning by 14 runs.

Peak View Jerangle V Cooma Cats Peak View Jerangle took on the Cats, who won the toss and batted posting a very respectable 162 after a slow start.

Cats were 3/68 after 10 overs but good batting from M Hynes 39 and a late cameo from Monaro’s premier batsman C Khoury who came in with six overs to go and blasted a quick 61. Pick of Jerangle’s bowlers was M Clarke 1/10 off three with two maidens, N Boate 2/9 off 2 and A Litchfield 0/53 off 3. In reply Jerangle were only able to get to 143 off their 20 overs with M Clarke 68 not out after batting the 20 overs with J Johnson 18 offering good support. Good bowling saw the Cats home with Jerangle unable to find the boundaries when needed. Pick of the Cats bowlers Iqbal 1/10 off 3 and A Allen 0/15 off 3.

Coffeys v Peak View Jerangle Coffeys batted first and posted 165 after a quick start that saw R Morgan blast a quick 40, D Hayden 23 and C Fitzgerald 24. But Jerangle rallied and ended up bowling Coffeys out in the last over, with J Moon 2/4 Iqbal 3/18 and N Boate 2/18. In reply the Jerangle cats could only post 132 with J Johnson 39 and M Askell 21 the only main contributors. Coffeys bowlers S Williams 1/8 R Oldrey 1/6 and M Hynes 1/4.

U/14’s Travelled to Canberra to take on Marist Royal in round one of the ACT U/14 competition.

Monaro put in a dominating performance with bat and ball. Monaro batting first with James Hayden (51*) posting his first half century, big contributions from Bailey Rogers 44 and James Cahill 35 saw Monaro post a very good first up total of 269 all out.

Marist Royal were never really in the match and were bundled out for 122 with Bailey Rogers the pick of the bowlers finishing with 2/3.

Junior Registration and skills afternoon this Friday 4pm-6pm at Nijong Oval.

Round 1 of the One day competition gets under way on Saturday with Berridale hosting Jindabyne, Coffeys taking on Dalgety at Nijong 2 and Peakview Jerangle taking on Cooma Cats at Snowy Oval

Junior basketballers perform Snow Dragons back on well at tournament the water for 2014 Eighty bruised, battered, blistered and burnt basketballers aged from 7 to 17 returned to Cooma on Sunday night after taking part in 25 games against opponents from Batemans Bay, Orbost and host club Merimbula.

Congratulations to those who took part on their commitment, sportsmanship and behaviour.

A huge thanks to those who assisted on the day as coaches and referees and to two girls, Shaniah Rackley and Jamie Thornton, who, although their team couldn’t get a game on the day, came down to assist wherever they were needed.

Everyone was a credit to our club.

Unfortunately there were two casualties with Andreas Kopecky-Geach outed for 3-4 months with an elbow injury and Alicia Venables on crutches with a foot injury. I am sure they will bounce back and be with us in the new year.

A huge thanks also goes to the large contingent of supporters who were there on the day. I know the players appreciated your presence especially as 70 percent of those taking part were new to the club this year and were having their first taste of representative basketball.

Results Boys After recently winning the Cooma Men’s competition our u/19 boys took to the court for four gruelling games, winning all four.

On Saturday they defeated Merimbula 1 and Merimbula 2 in very physical encounters. Sunday saw them defeat Batemans Bay before facing the highly fancied Orbost team. Staring defeat in the face, the boys rallied to come from behind and take the game.

The dedication and hard work put in by these boys has certainly reaped rewards over the past weeks.

The u/16 boys won their first game, losing their other two in close tussles.

Tickets from reception.

The u/14 boys played well pushing their opponents all the way in their two games, whilst our u/12 and u/10 boys didn’t record wins but put in big efforts and learnt a lot from the experience.

Girls The u/16’s fielded two teams on the day. With a lot of new girls in the teams they turned in strong performances against the more experienced opposition.

These girls have the ability to develop into top players, and with Julie Smith recently taking on their coaching (along with Jeanette Williamson and Daniel Hopkin) I believe we can look forward to something special in 2015.

The u/14 girls won their game against Orbost and just went down to Merimbula. They had a tough encounter against a very hot Batemans Bay side but didn’t give up trying.

The u/12 and u/10 girls both defeated Merimbula and went down to Orbost. In the Orbost u/10 game Cooma had nine players and Orbost 5. It was very hot and five girls would never have played the full time so two Cooma girls joined Orbost and everyone had a great time.

Thanks to the two girls who changed sides.

Players are looking forward to Merimbula 2015 and it is hoped that we will be able to arrange more representative games next year against other teams.

The Association is looking at running two mixed competitions this term.

Those interested in a senior competition need to contact Julie Smith or drop into the stadium on Monday night.

A junior competition will be held on Mondays for girls out of Thursdays junior basketball and boys out of the junior Friday basketball.

Some from the division one Junior Boys will be accepted. New players are welcome but must register.

After an excellent winter, it was time for the Lake Jindabyne Snow Dragons to dust off the paddles and commence training.

“Dragon Boating is a great way to have fun and get fit” said club President Richard Mills. “It is a sport for people of all ages and fitness levels.

They can come and paddle socially, or they can be involved in competitions”.

He went on to say the Lake Jindabyne Snow Dragon have two goals this season, to defend the Country Cup and run a successful home regatta – the Flowing Festival.
