Lovegrass fire warning...

The threat of African lovegrass fires has become so serious the bushfire danger period has been brought forward a month, to September 1, for areas north of Bredbo.

A joint Lovegrass fire exercise at Bredbo

last Sunday demontrated how dangerous this noxious weed is when conditions are dry. The lovegrass has three burning phases, which makes it very difficult to control. Rural Fire Service personnel from the Monaro and ACT

joined forces in Sunday’s exercises.

They cannot emphasise enough, the risk to houses and property if lovegrass is allowed to grow nearby.

Also, due to a number of calls over the

weekend, landholders are reminded to advise their neighbours and the RFS of intended burn-offs.

Mr Joemon Philip said It is probably a factor that the smaller numbers in our classrooms has allowed the students to be given that vital personal attention.

“There is also a sense of community and family that means the girls are very dedicated and loyal to each other. They work hard together.”

He further wished to give a personal thanks to Glenn Fletcher, who has consistently provided transport and support to the team.

The Grand Final topic was That Animal testing should be banned under all circumstances.

The SMCS1 team were debating the negative side and were awarded the win by all five adjudicators.

Elizabeth Fletcher was also awarded the best speaker medal in the Grand Final!

Coalition rural and regional $10million Cooma training hub promised health priority

The Coalition will be working to get more and better trained medical experts into rural and regional areas with its health policy announced today, Liberal candidate for Eden-Monaro, Peter Hendy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need more frontline services in Eden-Monaro, from highly skilled doctors, to nurses and allied health professionals,â&#x20AC;? Mr Hendy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a huge issue here and I particularly support the Coalitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus on helping busy professionals spend more time treating patients and financial assistance for students from rural and remote areas to further their studies.â&#x20AC;?

Unlike Labor which has run up enormous debt over the past six years and will have no alternative but to cut services if re-elected, the Coalition has a proven record on economic management and can deliver certainty of future investment.

The Coalition is committed to rebuilding general practice and assisting them to expand their practices and provide space for

teaching medical students. The Coalition will commit $52.5 million to provide at least 175 grants of up to $300,000 targeted to rural and regional areas.

The Coalition will also commit $13.4 million to provide 500 additional scholarships to a maximum of $30,000 per scholarship for nurses and allied health professionals in areas of need to undertake further study.

Another $40 million over four years will support up to 100 additional intern places in private hospitals, with priority given to positions and rotations outside major metro areas to bolster the medical workforce in rural and regional areas.

Importantly, a Federal Coalition government would work to cut administration and bureaucracy in favour of more frontline services, and work with States and Territories to support more local control of hospital services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always believed that hospitals can operate better at a community level than under the control of bureaucrats in Canberra,â&#x20AC;? Mr Hendy said.

The Coalition has a strong record on health.

As health Minister, Tony Abbott increased funding for public hospitals from $7.49 billion in 2003 to over $9.5 billion in 2007.

Just last year, the Federal Labor government cut $1.6 billion from State public hospitals.

Member for Eden Monaro, Mike Kelly at the site of the new training hub with Tanya Duffy, Denise Greene, Director of RPL Consulting Bill Ross and Robert Wiles, Rachel Harrigan and Fiona Jorgenson representing Australian National University and the University of Canberra.

Member for Eden-Monaro Dr Mike Kelly last week visited the site of a $10million Federallyfunded medical training hub in Cooma, on which construction is expected to begin in the coming months.

The multi-faceted doctors and nurses training hub â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a joint initiative between Southern NSW Medicare Local, the Australian National University (ANU) and University of Canberra (UC) - will be situated on and around the Cooma Hospital grounds and include: â&#x20AC;˘ Training and clinical space located on the hospital grounds, complete with teaching and consulting rooms for Medicare Local frontline staff and students. â&#x20AC;˘ A UC student accommodation block across the road from the hospital. â&#x20AC;˘ Three units for ANU students.

The facility is part of a $31million package announced in May, 2012 by Dr Kelly and Federal Health Minister Tanya Plibersek. Hubs will also be built in Bega and Moruya.

Dr Kelly inspected plans and toured the site today with representatives from the ANU, UC, Southern NSW Local Health District and project manager Bill Ross. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is such an exciting project, which

will allow us to attract and retain more specialist medical staff in Cooma and the surrounding area,â&#x20AC;?

Dr Kelly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am extremely proud of what our Government has done since 2007 to improve health services in our region, after years of neglect under the Howard Government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have seen $329million flow into EdenMonaro for facilities including, right here in Cooma, the $1.5million Home and Community Care centre, $550,000 for the Bombala Street Surgery and $3million for the ANU Rural Clinical School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is, however, more to be done in boosting our health workforce and this Medicare Local training hub will help us to address this need.â&#x20AC;?

Southern NSW Medicare Local CEO Kathryn Stonestreet said the Cooma Hospital site was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;great location, which will allow effective connection with community health and existing servicesâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an opportunity for the Medicare Local to enhance primary health service provision in Cooma Monaro,â&#x20AC;? Ms Stonestreet said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new building will provide headquarters for our current staff and gives us flexibility to position new workers in Cooma. It is an exciting development for us and is an investment in the future health of Cooma-Monaro residents.â&#x20AC;?

Dr Kelly said he was looking forward to turning the first sod on the hub in the coming months, and also continuing to work with Canberraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s universities on the possibility of a broader tertiary campus in Cooma.

Cooma group is back from Yamaga The 2013 Yamaga Tour group has returned home after an action-packed vist to Japan.

Pictured are the adults in the group at the official farewell last week.

The group of 16 thoroughly enjoyed the cultural exchange the visit provided.

The exchange is sponsored by Cooma Lions Club and Cooma-Monaro Shire Council.

.LULYHS 4HUHNLY 16, =,:*06

Yesterday our Mayor, Clr John Cahill, opened the newly upgraded Jindabyne sewerage treatment plant and pump stations. This project was fully funded by Council at a cost of $3.8 million and will provide Jindabyne residents with more efficient facilities that will cope better in the winter months when we have the high influx of visitors. These major works are not always visible to our community but are essential to the smooth running of our service provision.

Last week Council participated in fund raising for the Cancer Council by participating in Daffodil Day. Lunch was held and staff bought in a dish to share. The funds raised will be sent directly to the Cancer Council.

On behalf of Council Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to remind residents and visitors that their rubbish and recycling bins should only be out for a maximum of 24 hours during the collection times. Bins that are left out for extended periods of time can cause a risk to public health and safety. They can cause obstruction to footpaths, prevent the safe parking for vehicles, and be dangerous or hazardous to drivers if the bins end up on the road. Due to recent high winds there have also been many cases of bins blowing over and spilling rubbish onto streets. If you are unsure of your collection day, fridge calendars are available with relevant dates and information. Council Rangers have started to put warning notes on bins that are out for too long or at the wrong times, and if bins continue to be sighted in the future, enforcement action may occur.

Break-ins, accidents and lovegrass fires A $3000 Husqvarna ride-on mower was stolen from Cooma Power Equipment in Commissioner Street last Sunday night.

The thieves broke the packaging housing the ride-on to steal it.

Security camera footage was being examined to identify the thieves and recover the mower.

Police have reported two minor motor vehicle accidents within the vicinity of Cooma. The first occurred last Tuesday August 20 at 11.20 when a car turning onto Soho St collided with a vehicle travelling along Sharp Street. Both drivers were breathalysed and both were clear of alcohol. One vehicle had to be towed and there were no serious injuries to either driver.

The second accident occurred last Saturday August 24 at 3.30pm on the corner of Hilton and Sharp Streets when two cars collided. One driver tested positive to alcohol and is yet to be charged. One vehicle required towing and there were no major injuries to either driver.

Cooma Fire brigade was called to a number of fires in the last

40+ @,(9 :(3,

week, including a house fire at Nimmitabel on Wednesday which had been extinguished by the time the brigade arrived.

There was also a house fire at Frying Pan on Saturday, in which a house sustained considerable damage.

The fire brigade also assisted Cooma paramedics to remove a patient from a house in Bent Street and transfer to Cooma hospital.

The Rural Fire Services assisted at fires attended by Cooma brigade. They also responded to a number of lovegrass fires in the region, including one at Bumbalong Road and Chakola.

They used heavy equipment to contain a blaze at Caseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Road on Sunday afternoon.

Pictured below, thieves used bolt cutters to access storage at Cooma Power Equipment to steal a ride-on mower from its packing case.

Mike Kelly believes that the levy used by the coalition to improving reception whilst Peter Hendy said that the cost of fullfil their paid parental scheme will pose a problem to self- fixing this problem is quite low.

“The cost of fixing these problems is quite small and it’s funded retirees.

“Building on what’s been said about the brackets in which amazing that something hasn’t been done about it,” Hendy this kicks in also benefits wealthy people who shouldn’t be said.

In Peter Hendy’s presentation he focused on the need for receiving that sort of assistance.

But more importantly this is going to be underpinned by a small businesses to be strong.

“If we don’t have sustainable jobs, this region will wither,” he great big new tax. We call it a levy and this really gets to me, we’ve had all this debate about if a carbon price is a price or a said.

Mike Kelly outlined Labor’s key policies in his presentation, tax. Well this so-called levy is a great big new tax. In addition to that what’s also going to be funding the paid parental leave which included: education, health, the NBN, clean energy and scheme of the coalition is a massive slug on self-funded small businesses.

There were 29 questions put forward by community members on the day and there was only enough time for seven to be answered. Topics raised by community members were: noxious weeds, how each party plans to enrich local communities and bring more people to the area, communications infrastructure in the Eden Monaro, dental health and asylum seekers.

Brian Curzon was happy to be able to receive feedback from each of the parties after struggling for years to try to get better mobile, SBS and ABC radio reception in the area. Member for the Greens, Catherine Moore, recognised the problem not just for those who have a cultural preference towards ABC or SBS but also because ABC radio national is: “Crucial in The audience at the Q & A session at Cooma Ex-Services Club.

Voters have grilled local candidates in the south-east New South Wales electorate of Eden-Monaro. Last Sunday there was close to 100 people in the Cooma Ex-Services Club ready to quiz the candidates on the issues that will be key in deciding how they will vote.

Six of the eight candidates were there, Peter Hendy from the Liberal’s, Martin Tye from the Stable Population Party, Labor’s Mike Kelly, The Greens Catherine Moore, Costas Goumas from the Citizens Electoral Council and independent Andrew Thaler.

Local representative for the Palmer United Party and Cooma mayor, Dean Lynch, could not be present and neither could Warren Catton from the Christian Democratic Party.

Labor member and Minister for Defence Materiel Mike Kelly is hoping to be re-elected for a third term, but he is facing a challenge from former Liberal Party staffer Peter Hendy.

The first question asked of candidates was what they were going to do about paid parental leave.

Independent, Andrew Thaler was keen to answer after recently having another child with his wife.

He said: “Basically we took the view that it didn’t matter if we took a maternity payment, we chose to start a family because we could afford to start a family and that should be the primary objective of anyone seeking out on the journey of establishing a family. I don’t believe you should be looking to rely on maternity payments because they only run for a certain amount of time and you need to be confident that that safety net that sits under you is not what you are relying on because you’ll get a very rude shock as those children get bigger and you have subsequent children. I am not impressed with the Liberal Party’s plan and I think it’s too much. It’s way too much money to offer because it sets up a class warfare structure. I could fiddle my books within my business and temporarily pay my wife $150,000 a year and she would get that full amount of money, I can do that, anyone can, I’m an everyday bloke. The Liberal Party’s plan is liable to be abused and the Labor Party’s plan is a good place to start from. Somewhere in the middle there is a happy medium and that’s why I’m here as an Independent to ensure that from my experience I prosecute the view of the community to find that happy medium.”

To which Peter Hendy from the Liberal Party responded: “The question highlights a particular point of our policy, the Liberal Party policy, where the main beneficiaries are people on lower and middle incomes, it’s not what has been presented in the press. Andrew said that it was some sort of class warfare well not its not at all and in fact his example of how he could wrought the system would get him in jail because we will be using the same policing mechanisms that are used with existing paid parental leave schemes where the ATO will monitor your past income earning capacity over a year or two so that those sort of wroughts cannot be imposed on this scheme. The other thing that Andrew raised was that his family could afford to have a baby. This might be the tipping point for a lot of families in Australia, and Eden Monaro, here in Cooma where they might be just short of being able to afford to have a baby. This scheme will allow them to do so and we think that’s a good thing, we think its an inequitable scheme, FATZ CUTZ QUALITY MEAT we think its one that will actually lose productivity 22 BOMBALA ST, COOMA overtime because the productivity commission has

Who you gunna call?

Nimmity neighbours!

the

postman calls

In the midst of electioneering locally, there has been a bright moment for one candidate.

Hours before discussing the Liberals’ paid paternity leave proposal at Cooma’s Q & A, independent candidate, Andrew Thaler and his wife became parents again.

This is probably an election exclusive for Mr Thaler and gives him first hand knowledge of work and family.

The Postman must ask why politicians keep throwing money at people to have children.

Once upon a time, it was the responsibility of the family involved whether they could afford to have children. Government incentives weren’t even heard of.

So what of the Australians who, for whatever reason, chose NOT to have children? What is the government doing for them? Will they and retirees be the ones paying for parental leave?

As election day draws closer, those of us who can’t get to the booths on September 7 have the chance to vote early (and, as some old pollies might say, vote often).

For the elderly or vision impaired, prepoll voting is a good chance to avoid the crowds and vote in comfort.

Whether it’s early or on the day, don’t forget to vote!

And don’t forget to get down to Cooma Showground this Sunday to cheer the Cooma Stallions First Graders on to victory.

How good would it be to see a local club with four grand finalist teams? It would be even better to see them play a grand final in Cooma, just for a change!

Editor, I have only lived in Nimmitabel for just over two years and have found it to be full of different people but best of all neighbours who will help out at a moment’s notice, some of whom I never even knew before I needed help!

In the last five weeks I have lost two miniature angora goats, Yogi and Boo Boo, to uncontrolled pig dogs and one poddy lamb, Maisie to another uncontrolled pig dog and had my other poddy lamb Marley have her ear torn half off. I hand raised all of these lovely pets and was absolutely heart broken.

I want to thank all the wonderful people who turned up to help on both occasions. They have warmed my heart and kept me going. People in the country have huge hearts and generous spirits!

On a different note I am asking everyone who has a pet or livestock to keep them safe as the dogs are still out there in spite of the effort being made by the ranger and police. Also for those of you with working dogs they do have to be micro chipped and registered unless they are in Western NSW on farmland in an area that has no local Government. Registration and micro chipping is free if it is a working dog.

The Sandy Mountains?

Editor, Is the pressure of the election getting to Mike Kelly, or has he lost his marbles completely?

At the candidates’ forum held on Friday in Narooma, Kelly warned us that unless the Rudd government was returned to implement its climate change policies then the climate would spin out of control and the Snowy Mountains would become the “Sandy Mountains.” the Bega valley would turn into a new Death Valley, and the Sapphire Coast would turn into the

“Saline Coast” (whatever that means but it sounds horrible).

Honestly does anyone think that a man who seriously put forward this ridiculous scenario is fit to be our representative in parliament let alone the next Minister for Defence?

I for one would be worried sick at the thought that if the Rudd government were returned he could be in charge of our defence forces.

R K Flynn Dalmeny

Riposte Lisa Ashurst You know, I have to hand it to my little handful of chooks, they really are worth having. All I have to do is provide them with food, some pretty acres to run around in and a safe place to sleep and in return they provide me with eggs, environmentally friendly garden pest control, and fertiliser, plus it’s just nice to take time out sometimes and watch them wandering around in all the space here being happy.

But then I’ve always loved chooks and baby chicks would have to be one of the cutest things, after guinea pigs and kittens, on the planet.

Chooks were actually the third animal I was introduced to as a little one (Nana’s cats and her budgie being first and second) and if I remember rightly it was love at first sight for me and they had to put up with a lot of loving attention from me after that (poor things) and if they objected to all the cuddling etc, etc, they never let on. See! Chooks are like that! It’s what makes them such good pets.

The handful I have here are great little entertainers and have a good life scratching around in the grass and wandering through the woods and then flopping down in the warm sunshine and if it wasn’t for having to pop out an egg every day, I wouldn’t mind coming back as a chook...just

so long as I came back as one of my own. Okay, I’m not sure how I could work that...

But anyway, as I was saying, watching my chooks wandering around and hanging occasionally with the two Resident Pusses I have come to appreciate what true contentment really is. I mean, these little guys are content. They don’t appear to waste their lives thinking about things like, is there a better brand of scratch mix out there somewhere? Do cats think they are better than chooks? Should they declare war on the wild ducks in the neighbouring paddock and lay claim to the dam? Or ever wondered if they somehow diminished their status on the world scale because they opted for a bipedal form of mobility over flight? No, chooks just scratch around, lay eggs, put up with being picked up (yes, I still do that), eat and sleep. Which leads to my next question; should man aspire to chook?

Okay, I accept that some of you who are reading this may be asking at this point if all the peace and serenity here may be affecting my state of mind or if, perhaps, with all the warm sunshine and mild temps I may have tripped way out of whack on bliss, but I can assure you it’s none of the above.

I’ve always thought weird stuff like this!

The Long Road to Overnight Success ess â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Shane Jacobson

Wednesday July 31, 2013

Mobile phone promise Editor, A l t h o u g h telecommunications is responsibility of the Federal Government, you would be aware of my longstanding advocation for better mobile phone reception in the region.

Sadly, the Federal Labor Government has not invested a single dollar to improve the mobile phone network in Regional Australia.

This stands in stark contrast to the Howard Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investment of $145 million for improvements to the mobile phone network as well as setting aside $2.4 billion- in the Communications Fundto support the rollout of communications upgrades in regional Australia. Unfortunately, regional Australia will never get to benefit from the Communications Fund, because it has disappeared into the black hole that is NBN Co. For the local region, Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NBN is a mirage.

The Labor Government

has served two terms and not a single local home is connected to fibre.

The lack of mobile coverage is a serious issue for rural residents.

It is my view that government has a strong role to play in bridging the gap between what is commercially viable and what is a public necessity.

However our Federal Member keeps telling us that since the privatisation of Telstra, government funding is no longer appropriate to support a corporate entity. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth remembering that Telstra operated as a corporate entity long before its privatisation and this was never a barrier for Coalition Government investment.

The Labor Government is quite happy to prop up the car industry with public funds, but is unwilling to partner with telecommunication operators to improve their service in regional and rural areas. Mike Kelly seems blind to the inconsistency of Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

policies.

I am pleased to see the Coalition recently committing $100 million to improve mobile phone coverage; which includes a $20 million black spot program and $80 million towards mobile phone network expansion.

This will greatly improve the coverage footprint in the Monaro and Snowy Mountains region.

Working in musical theatre, stand-up comedy, radio, ads, and the occasional Boy Scout review, Jacobson had been in the spotlight and behind the scenes, he had learned how to make people laugh and how to move them and he had felt the allure of the spotlight. He knew this was what he wanted to do, but it would take him years to get there in between his many (very) odd jobs.

Success, when it came, was sweet, but so was getting there.

Here Jacobson tells the story of his life in the droll, hilarious way which made him so appealing in Kenny and in films like Charlie and Boots. From a childhood spent among loving but stage-hungry carnies to an adulthood spent travelling, falling in love, learning to drive every vehicle ever made and generally distracting himself from a serious career path, this is a charming, truly Australian memoir.

Snowy must never be privatised Editor, In his letter â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Privatising the Snowyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (Express 15 August P6) Garry Nairn stated that he convinced John Howard, on the 2nd June 2006, not to include the Commonwealth in the privatisation of the Snowy Scheme.

Whilst he may have done so, it was only days before the Prospectus prepared by the three shareholding governments - outlining the sale terms, was to be issued.

We know that the NSW Labor government announced, in December 2005, its intention to sell its share in the Scheme and that the Commonwealth coalition government, under John Howard, decided to sell its share in February 2006 with the Victorian Labor government deciding to sell soon after.

That the Howard government fully supported the sale is evidenced by statements to the Senate by the then Minister for Finance and Administration (Senator Minchin) when he said; inter alia, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sale of the Commonwealthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minority shareholding, is in our view, in the interests of Australian taxpayers and is consistent with the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong support for

the privatisation of government owned electricity generators -----.â&#x20AC;? And, â&#x20AC;&#x153;---- I am pleased to report a very high level of co-operation among the Australian, Victorian and New South Wales governments in this process.â&#x20AC;? (Senate Hansard, 29th March 2006 P6&8 respectively).

Following approval of the sale in both the Representatives and Senate, the Howard government proceeded to co-operate with NSW and Victoria to prepare the sale prospectus.

Thus, no major party; Liberal, National or Labor, can claim the high ground in the move to sell the Snowy Scheme.

They consistently misled the public by claiming that they were selling an electricity asset, when in fact they were also selling the rights to control the collection, storage and release of the Snowy Schemeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s significant, and increasingly important, water resource.

As it is impossible to foresee the role that the Snowy Schemeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water resource may be required to play in the future both the ownership and control of that resource must remain in public (government) hands. For this reason alone the Scheme must never be privatised.

Max Talbot, Cooma.

Cooma Little Theatre farewells stalwart Jan Abraham was farewelled by the committee and members of Cooma Little Theatre in a small ceremony held at the monthly meeting on Tuesday night.

Jan moved to Cooma in 1980 as a school teacher and worked at Cooma North Public School for 10 years before transferring across to Cooma Public school where she continued to teach, mainly in K-year 3, until her retirement in 2006.

Jan met Ron and Marie Cox at work at Cooma North and it was the Cox’s who initially introduced Jan to

Cooma Little Theatre.

It wasn’t long before Jan was deeply involved in most aspects of the Theatre.

Initially Jan fulfilled the role of ‘prompt’ for a production of one act plays. Soon after that she became very much involved in backstage crewing and was a most efficient Stage Manager for many productions, keeping the cast and crew in line and ensuring a smooth, professional and enjoyable experience for the audience members.

Many people will remember the wonderful musicals CLT staged

under the directorship of Garrick Smith, Jan was the Producer and Stage Manager for these great productions and remains firm friends with Garrick to this day.

Jan has not operated lighting but believes this is the only job in the theatre which she has not fulfilled. As well as the back-stage work, she has acted on-stage a little, operated sound, worked Front-of-House - gaining her RSA to work the CLT Bar, served coffee and tea and sold tickets. Always showing up at working bees to lend a hand to building and tearing down of

sets etc.

Dedicated committee member, Jan has been vice-president, treasurer and business manager over the years.

Her commitment to the theatre is evident in the number of meetings she has attended during this time.

Since the late 1990s, Jan has been a wonderful Wardrobe Officer. During her time in this role the wardrobe has been extended, providing extra space for all our wonderful costumes. The wardrobe collection has been extensively categorised and organised resulting in a much easier job for

The winners of the raffle were

1st, Eileen Tindall, 2nd Brian Seears, 3rd Barbara Scanes and the dollar club was won by Jim Robinson. The usual reports were given and members were reminded that the curry luncheon will not be held. This is due to a lack of members to help with the preparation and serving of the meal.

Awareness Week for CWA is from September 7 to 14 and a special effort will be made to let the public know about CWA. A

monster cake stall will be held outside the Australian Hotel on Friday, September 13 as part of Awareness Week.

Coral McKenzie and Beaty Russell were nominated to attend the Group Council meeting at Adaminaby. Arrangements were made for the branch AGM which will be held on Monday October 14 at the Cooma Country Club.

The AGM will begin at 11am followed by a shared lunch and monthly meeting.

Jan’s friendly and easy going attitude has made her a great person to have involved in the Theatre and we are all sad to see her moving

Jan is looking forward to her next adventures in warmer climes on the coast at Shellharbour

where she will be living closer to relatives and friends in the east. She plans to continue some casual teaching work.

We hope she will return regularly to see future productions and visit her Cooma Friends.

Cooma water treatment plant has two APV Bell Bryant / Philadelphia flash mixers that mix Aluminium Sulphate and Polyacrylamide, dry powders into the raw water (untreated) water pipeline from the Murrumbidgee River as part of the water cleaning/treatment process. The mixers and mixer chambers, purchased from America, were installed on the raw water rising main between the river and the treatment plant in early 1985 and brought into full service in December 1985. The mixers have exceeded the manufacturers expected working life by around 7 years and enquires were made

by Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Engineering Services for the cost and availability of replacement units as part of planned maintenance activities.

Philadelphia Mixers (USA) provided a â&#x20AC;&#x153;rough budgetâ&#x20AC;? estimate for replacement mixers, of $47,000 each. The mixers

operate up to 12 hours per day every day of the year and are an essential element of the water cleaning/treatment process.

Council engineers were confident that sound maintenance activities had been practiced over the life of the mixers and elected to engage local specialists Allenspach Steel and Lehrmann Electrics to work closely with Council staff to remove the motor and gearbox units to enable a detailed inspection of all of the mixer components rather than accept the designated â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;use-by-dateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; replacement recommendation. The outcome is that the mixers have been fully overhauled and returned to service with the expectation of another 27 years of well-maintained trouble free service. The total cost of the servicing and associated works performed locally was in the order of $5,000.

Book Week with itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Read Across the Universeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; started with a dynamic performance by African Drumbeat.

Students from Numeralla, Jerangle and Bredbo Public Schools enthusiastically drummed, danced and sang their way through many rhythmic tunes. Students particularly enjoyed playing the African Djembes and watching their teachers â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;shake it upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on the dance floor. Following the performance students participated in a rotation of literacy and art activities to celebrate Book Week. The day culminated in a shred lunch for staff and students. We are eagerly looking forward to our next shared day.

Skyboard brings message to Cooma: Small business too big to ignore

The NSW Business Chamber is inviting all local business owners, employees and residents to show their support for small business and the important role they play in supporting regional economies and local jobs when the Southern Hemisphere’s largest mobile Skyboard visits the region as part of the ‘Small Business – Too Big to Ignore’ Campaign tour.

The NSW Business Chamber, along with the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and other state chambers of commerce, launched the national ‘Small Business – Too Big to Ignore’ campaign in April, and so far over 50,000 voices have registered their support on the campaign website, toobigtoignore.org.au.

As the final phase of the campaign, the Skyboard will tour NSW promoting the campaign and providing a

backdrop for supporters to gather and become involved.

The ‘Small Business - Too Big to Ignore’ campaign mobile Skyboard will be at: LOCATION: McDonalds car park at 24 Sharp Street Cooma TIME: 7.30am DATE: Wednesday 4th September “We are now at the pointy end of our small business campaign as we close in on the Federal Election and we intend to make sure that politicians hear loud and clear the voice of our small business community,” said Gary Ryan, NSW Business Chamber Capital Far South Coast Regional Manager.

“We have been amazed at the level of support and interest we have had for our campaign. It has resonated

with small businesses that are sick and tired of being overlooked and forgotten by all levels of government, and importantly, the wider community who understand that a strong local economy is dependent on strong local small businesses.

“We’ve been campaigning that small business is simply too big to ignore – it’s now time for the community to show our politicians that this statement is true by turning out to support the campaign’s mobile Skyboard as it tours the region.

“I encourage everyone to stop by the campaign Skyboard when it’s in town, say hello, sign up for the campaign and help us get a better deal for our local small businesses,” Gary Ryan said.

CELEBRATING 40 YEARS

Boyce celebrates 40 years in business

Boyce staff outside the Cooma office.

“Simply bursting with pride” is how Michael Boyce describes his feelings on the 40th anniversary of the accounting firm he established and which still bears his name.

Boyce Chartered Accountants is today the largest independent accounting firm in regional Australia with offices in five locations across NSW and employing a team of more than 140 people.

Michael Boyce was a founding partner of the small accounting practice that opened

its doors on 2 October 1973 in the central business district of Sydney, where the first clients were mostly young farmers looking for a fresh approach to financial management.

Within a period of nine months, the first rural branch of the firm was established in Cooma in the Monaro region of NSW, and there began the proud history of rural practice that defines Boyce to this day.

Mr Boyce, or Mick as he prefers to be known, is quick to share credit for the

early success of the firm with his fellow pioneering partners – Doug Treloar, Chris Blencowe, Richard Cummins and Tony Long – who helped establish the first branches in Cooma and then Moree, and developed the business and accounting systems that are still referenced today in the firm’s unique approach to management accounting.

Accounting as a discipline has come a long way since the early Boyce days when doing a farm budget for a client involved a sharp pencil and a trusty eraser.

Huge technology and communication advancements have meant the processes and systems employed by the industry are now very different.

But even back in the 1970s Boyce was at the forefront in embracing technology.

Firm folklore includes tales of directors lugging ‘portable’ computers the size of large suitcases from client meeting to client meeting. The computers were equipped with the revolutionary ‘Boyce Business System’ computer software that made the pencil and the eraser obsolete – who would have thought.

Despite sharing the Boyce has been a past forty years with such technological advancements, trusted advisor to the focus of the firm has remained unchanged - to families and businesses offer clients the highest quality across NSW since 1973. management accounting and business advisory services.

Mick Boyce credits the firm’s first independent Chairman, Jack Morrow, with instilling the “care for clients” We are proud to celebrate our 40th to ensure businesses in our regions ethos that informs the culture and philosophy of Boyce to anniversary and would like to thank grow and flourish, and our this day. all of our valued clients and team communities remain strong.

beginning Boyce has been involved, encouraging, mediating, advising, consoling and helping us to make decisions to maximise profits,” says Heather.

“Boyce has been an integral part of our business – the input and advice of various directors over the years and John’s management expertise, combined to ensure we had an enjoyable, profitable partnership in agribusiness.”

Mrs Wheaton says it is the genuine friendship that she has had with the firm as the reason the association has endured for 40 years. “It was a true partnership between John and I and Boyce - built on trust and respect.”

Boyce has grown steadily over the years and the client base has expanded to include businesses and clients from across a diverse range of industry and professional groups.

The firm has though retained many of its early clients - a testament to the professionalism, ability and integrity of the firm and of all who work there.

Today Boyce operates branches in Dubbo, Goulburn and Wagga Wagga in addition to the original Cooma and Moree branches and appears annually on the BRW “top 50” list of Australian accounting firms.

The fact that Boyce today is as strong as it has ever been at any time in its history is a vindication of a life’s work according to Mick, who although retired since 1998, remains a staunch advocate of the firm and a huge influence on the leadership group that has succeeded him.

“I am naturally pleased by the deserved professional standing of Boyce, but I am just as pleased by the fact that the firm has retained the principles of a business family during its growth.”

Today the Boyce leadership group is comprised of 12 directors and four associate directors all of whom embrace a commitment to investing in people and systems to ensure that there is a constant evolution in the firm’s level of service delivery and client care.

Managing Director, Bernard Kennedy, points to the recent Boyce Congress, a two day training session held in Sydney for qualified team members to learn from experts in the fields of tax, superannuation and other not so technical areas such as the growing corporate agriculture sector and the influence of social media in business.

“As a leadership group it’s vitally important to us to leave the firm in as good a shape as it was when handed to us by Mick and the other early partners,” said Mr Kennedy.

“By encouraging, mentoring and training our successors, we can ensure that will happen.”

The Cooma branch remains the sentimental heart of the firm. It is the largest office in terms of the number of people employed and is led by a talented group of three directors – Kathy Kelly, Jono Forrest and Julie Schofield.

Boyce throws down challenge to metro-based firms for 2014 Race!

Top p 5 finish for country y accountants in Sun-Herald City2Surf y with record funds raised for burns survivors

Above: Abbey Johnson, Kimberley Dwyer and Dimity Fish relax at the firm’s post-race celebration Right: Bernard Kennedy, Boyce managing director hands over a cheque to Barry Lowe, of the Burns Support Foundation.

It was a case of ‘big country spirit’ triumphing in more ways than one when a team of country accountants turned out for this year’s Sun-Herald City2Surf event.

The regional-based accounting firm, Boyce Chartered Accountants, managed to not only field a team of more than 80 runners but also snared a top 5 finish in the list of ‘top team fundraisers’, raising a staggering $33,500 for their chosen charity – the Burns Support Foundation.

“Not a bad effort for a team from the bush”, declared Boyce Cooma director, Kathy Kelly, who participated in the race.

Boyce has now put out a challenge to their colleagues in the larger metro-based accounting and legal firms to match their fund-raising efforts in the Sun-Herald City2Surf next year.

The Boyce team made up of employees, their family members and clients was supported by a generous country spirit according to Ms Kelly.

“The generosity of country people is well known but I think the support and enthusiasm we received this year even surprised us.”

Boyce has competed in the Sun-Herald City2Surf for the past seven years and each year has come up with more novel fund-raising ideas.

Last year the “Boyce Bites” cookbook was a big winner

with supporters. This year one of the more entrepreneurial activities came from the Moree office of the firm where the directors and staff auctioned on eBay a dinner party for ten guests. A local celebratory chef was engaged to help plan an ambitious menu for the dinner.

The funds raised by Boyce will be directed to the Burns Support Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation that provides assistance and support to burns survivors and their families.

All of the work they do is carried out by volunteers and without any government support. This is the second year in a row that Boyce has elected to support the Burns Support Foundation.

“We have a special motivation to raise as much money as we can to help the Burns Support Foundation continue their fantastic work,” said Ms Kelly.

“Julie Schofield, my fellow Boyce director and Sun-Herald City2Surf team captain, suffered a burns injury as a child.”

Ms Schofield knows well that once a burns survivor, you are a burns survivor for life. But with the help of the Burns Support

Boyce celebrates 40 years in business Continued from Page 1...

As well as providing accounting and business advisory services to clients, Boyce Cooma hosts a number of the firm’s centralised functions including the superannuation, finance administration and human resource divisions.

Kathy Kelly who joined Boyce in 1985 was the firm’s first female partner. Like others who have come since, Kathy managed to successfully combine her professional career with motherhood.

“Boyce has always been supportive of the fact that we all have lives outside of work,” said Kathy.

“It’s a philosophy that has endured and one of the reasons why Boyce is a great place to work.”

The Cooma office has had a succession of long-serving employees over the years all of whom have contributed much to the social fabric of the firm and served as mentors to new team members embarking on their accounting careers.

Boyce today is a vibrant mix of talented young, and more experienced, people.

The directors are proud of the fact that the firm offers young people the opportunity to have a rewarding professional career whilst enjoying the many benefits of living in a regional centre.

“A diverse client base, lots of business advisory work and the opportunity to specialise, means that Boyce has a lot to offer young professionals,” said Mr Kennedy.

Particularly, as he points out, those people who may have done their early training in the city and now seek a more balanced life-style or would

like to be closer to family, but who don’t want to forgo the opportunity to have an interesting and challenging professional career.

“What is so pleasing is that the firm is continually renewing itself with these smart, passionate and very talented young accountants joining Boyce,” said Mr Kennedy.

It’s clear that the history of the firm will be forever linked to the pioneering way in which Mick Boyce and his fellow founding partners struck out into regional areas to forge a business that has remained true to its rural background but grown to offer a “big city” level of accounting and business advisory expertise and range of specialist services.

A relatively recent evolution of Boyce has been the establishment of the firm’s financial advisory business – Boyce Financial Services.

“We were concentrating on helping our clients to grow their businesses and maximise profits, but we wanted to ensure they were also well advised about how to look after the wealth they were creating,” explained managing director, Bernard Kennedy.

Boyce now offers a holistic approach – the financial advisory team work in conjunction with the accounting team to ensure that all facets of a client’s financial affairs are considered. It’s a formula that appears to be working as the financial advisory business has grown quickly.

Mick Boyce of course is rightly proud of the firm that he has built and of the people that have succeeded him.

Forty years in business and still growing strongly – you can’t argue with that.

Foundation, she able i h has h been b bl to t cope with ith the th many years of hospital visits and surgeries to emerge with a positive attitude to life and a rewarding career.

Ms Schofield credits her positive outlook to the mentoring and support offered by the Burns Support Foundation through their annual camps for burns survivors and their families, and it is to help the foundation to carry on their great work that so inspired all the Boyce team in this year’s fund-raising effort.

Ms Schofield was overwhelmed with the efforts of the Boyce team to galvanise such support for a cause that is so very personal.

“It means so much to my family and to me to know that other kids will now be able to receive the assistance and support from the Burns Support Foundation that I received as a child.”

Despite the recent birth of her second child, Ms Schofield competed in the event alongside her colleagues and managed to finish in a very respectable time.

Schools to talk ‘fresh tastes’ SMGS musicians wow audience Monaro school canteen managers will join their Bega Valley counterparts on Wednesday, September 4, to discuss healthy food choices for their school canteens.

The aim of the Fresh Tastes @ School NSW Healthy School Canteen Strategy is to give students a taste for nutritious foods and to help schools determine healthier types of foods that can be sold in their canteens.

Local support to implement the strategy is provided by Southern NSW Local Health District Health Promotion Officers.

“As more of our schools are engaging with kitchen garden programs the issue of food safety and eating fresh food is of utmost importance to our school communities. We are looking forward to both the Healthy Kids Association and the NSW Food Authority attending our network day next month,” said Health Promotion Officer Monica Alcock.

“Good food gives students all the nutrients they need to grow, develop, and concentrate at school and set good habits today that will last them a lifetime.”

School canteens play an important role in promoting good nutrition because they can: • give students a taste for healthy foods • support nutrition messages taught in class • show students better choices for

lunches and snacks.

Bega Valley and Monaro school canteen managers will come together to share their canteen best sellers, recipes, as well as their challenges and successes in introducing home cooked meals to their students.

Julie Brown, Canteen Manager at Monaro High School is really looking forward to attending the networking day.

“We welcome feedback and ideas, and encourage parents, carers and grandparents who wish to volunteer to help in the canteens or on associated committees,” said Leanne Gibson, Canteen Manager at Cooma North Primary School.

Parents and carers can also support their schools by talking about the importance of healthy food choices with their children, sending healthy food in lunchboxes and only providing treat foods occasionally.

If you require more information contact Monica Alcock on (02) 6455 3304 or 0408 650 845 or via email monica.alcock@gsahs. health.nsw.gov.au

Tom Collett As the HSC music students of Snowy Mountains Grammar School prepare for their final assessments, they gathered recently to run through their material.

James Richards, Madi Davis, Karlo Levak and Nick Tugwell have been working hard to get their pieces ready for when the HSC markers come in two weeks time.

Each student performed their complete program, each displaying their diverse talent, covering many genres and musical styles.

The students have been preparing their pieces during the course of their HSC year, and Music is one of the first subjects to have final HSC marks completed, far before any last exams are thought about.

James Richards wowed the audience with four pieces, including the Ozzy Osborne classic ‘Crazy Train’ and Australian metal band Parkway Drive’s ‘Five Months’ . A sublime voice was showcased by Madi Davis performing an

acapella cover of the Kimbra song ‘Settle Down’ and the Duke Ellington stable ‘Aint Got Nothing But the Blues’, accompanied by only double bass.

Karlo Levak impressed with the Gordon Goodwin big band piece ‘Sing Sang Sung’ and also the complex Red Hot Chilli Peppers number ‘Ethiopia’.

Resident saxophonist Nick Tugwell blew the audience (pun intended) with a mellow and soothing program but also one of his own compositions ‘World Wind’ that takes the audience through music of other countries.

The Year 12’s were well supported by their junior peers, with many of the 9, 10 and 11 musicians helping out with accompaniments on voice and instruments, providing them with some fantastic performance experience.

Congratulations to everybody who performed and good luck to Year 12 as you finish your preparations.

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

What is a mortgage broker? Do you charge a fee? Why come to you instead of my bank? Can you see me after business hours?

I have had quite a lot of positive feedback from people who have seen my ad, and a lot of questions! Many people have no idea of what a broker actually does, so I thought I would take the opportunity to explain what I do, and what you can expect if you come to see me.

No, I don’t charge you a fee! My income comes from commission paid by the lender, and is fully disclosed to you. The lender doesn’t charge you extra either.

I am happy to see you at a time that suits you. Evenings or weekends are fine by appointment.

I can help you with any of your home loan needs. If you are looking at buying a new property and need a loan, or if you have an existing loan and want to review it to make sure you are getting the best deal for your circumstances.

With so many different lenders, and so many different loans, it is hard to know what will suit you best. When I meet with you, we will have a discussion & I will ask questions to determine what is important to you.

It is then my job to sift through the available options, and make a recommendation to you that will suit your individual circumstance. You may have a preference for a particular bank, and I will consider that as well. You may want to stay with them, but it is still worth comparing the options.

I can provide you with an in-depth comparison, which will calculate the difference in rates & fees, and give you a comparison over both a long term and short term view.

I will explain why I have recommended a particular loan or lender, but the final decision is always yours.

I am also your one contact through the whole application process. I gather the information from you, submit the application on-line, and keep a close eye on the progress.

Once approved, I go over the loan documents with you to make sure they are correct, and that you understand them.

I like to take a total care approach, and will maintain regular contact with my clients to ensure they are happy, and I can handle many servicing issues with the home loan as well. If you need a top up for example, or switch to a fixed loan.

I also have contacts that can help them with financial planning, or personal insurance, and can organise a referral to see an expert.

So, whatever your situation, it can be worth a call to have a chat and see if I can help you.

Sydney is a National Driver There is no doubt Sydney plays a big role in the economy and therefore the property market being the financial hub of Australia.

Things are now ramping up in Sydney which will drive other cities Australia wide.

Why? Sydney property prices have now reached a median of $700,000 growing from mid $500,000 in 2011 after an eight year flat market, and Auction Clearance rates are over 80%, there has been approx. 60,000 jobs created in Sydney and when this happens the financial drive behind Sydney will help drive up Perth, Brisbane and other key locations around the country.

Backed with the lowest interest rates in our life time and tipped to go down even further, property in Australia has never been so affordable.

These signs backed with many others I have written about in the last few weeks is why it is the time for you to take action to look after you’re financial security.

I know I have been harping on about it, but if you seriously want to do something for your financial future this is the window where you need to:Know where you are now? know what you want today and in retirement and when you would like to retire? Make a plan and take action, if you do this in the next 6 months in Australia’s hot spots you will be laughing all the way to the bank in years to come.

When it comes to affordability and timing a client bought a property in one of Brisbane’s best locations for investment and due to rates being so low at 5% yield he was still up approx. $60 per week in his pocket and I know the next stage is going up $10,000 to $20,000 and this is just the start of the next property cycle for Brisbane.

This type of property investment that we teach is how you gain maximum returns, Tax Benefits, rental income and most importantly capital growth! It really is a no brainer, once you know how.

You can do it too!

If you would like to see how you can do it for maximum returns and save Time Money and Stress, join so many other Snowy Mountains locals and take advantage of my in-home complimentary and with no obligation meeting or just have a chat please do not hesitate to contact me.

Have a great day!

The history of Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day was inaugurated in the United States in the early 20th century to complement Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day in celebrating fatherhood and male parenting.

After the success obtained by Anna Jarvis with the promotion of Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day in the US, some wanted to create similar holidays for other family members, and Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day was the choice most likely to succeed..

There were other persons in the US who independently thought of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dayâ&#x20AC;?, but the credit for the modern holiday is often given to Sonora Dodd, who was the driving force behind its establishment.

Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day was founded in Spokane, Washington at the YMCA in 1910 by Sonora Smart Dodd, who was born in Arkansas. Its first celebration was in the Spokane YMCA on June 19, 1910.

Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, was a single parent who raised his six children there. After hearing a sermon about Jarvisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day in 1909, she told her pastor that fathers should have a similar holiday honoring them. Although she initially suggested June 5, her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday, the pastors did not have enough time to prepare their sermons, and the celebration was deferred to the third Sunday of June.

It did not have much success initially. In the 1920s, Dodd stopped promoting the celebration because she was studying in the Art Institute of Chicago, and it faded

into relative obscurity, even in Spokane.

In the 1930s Dodd returned to Spokane and started promoting the celebration again, raising awareness at a national level. She had the help of those trade groups that would benefit most from the holiday, for example the manufacturers of ties, tobacco pipes, and any traditional present to fathers. Since 1938 she had the help of the Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Council, founded by the New York Associated Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wear Retailers to consolidate and systematize the commercial promotion.

Americans resisted the holiday during a few decades, perceiving it as just an attempt by merchants to replicate the commercial success of Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, and newspapers frequently featured cynical and sarcastic attacks and jokes. But the trade groups did not give up: they kept promoting it and even incorporated the jokes into their adverts, and they eventually succeeded. By the mid-1980s the Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Council wrote that â&#x20AC;&#x153;...[Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day] has become a Second Christmas for all the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gift-oriented industries.â&#x20AC;?

A bill to accord national recognition of the holiday was introduced in Congress in 1913. In 1916, President

Woodrow Wilson went to Spokane to speak in a Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day celebration and wanted to make it official, but Congress resisted, fearing that it would become commercialized. US President Calvin Coolidge recommended in 1924 that the day be observed by the nation, but stopped short of issuing a national proclamation. Two earlier attempts to formally recognize the holiday had been defeated by Congress. In 1957, Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith wrote a proposal accusing Congress of ignoring fathers for 40 years while honoring

mothers, thus â&#x20AC;&#x153;[singling] out just one of our two parentsâ&#x20AC;?. In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential proclamation honoring fathers, designating the third Sunday in June as Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. Six years later, the day was made a permanent national holiday when President Richard Nixon signed it into law in 1972.

In addition to Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, International Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day is celebrated in many countries on November 19 for men and boys who are not fathers.

What they want...

Each year on the first Sunday in September, children of all ages treat their fathers to something special. It is the one day of the year when children, young and old, can show, in a tangible way, how much their fathers mean to them.

Leading up to Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day local Cooma fathers have had time to reflect on what they would like to be given on the day from their children. d The votes are in a and the consensus has d, been reached, children are going to have a tough time this year with most fathers just wanting a day off work.

The second most popular request was a hol bottle of alcohol choo with Theo Schoo d was a saying all he wanted â&#x20AC;&#x153;nice bottle of red or champagneâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be seeing the efore kids the day before fathers day so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll e be spending the Sunday without them. Hopefully Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get some time in the garden,â&#x20AC;? he added.

Brad Frazer from Franks Butchery also o simply wants to spend time with his cretly family but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secretly w remote hoping for a new control car.

Richard Mack is also opting for the alcohol option, wanting a bottle of scotch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This fathers day Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hopefully be catching up with the girls, going out for lunch and eating chocolate and all those sort of nice things,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Mack.

Ben Litchfield from Monaro Wooll as Service says that becoming a dad was oth of the best present heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ever received. Both ping for is his girls live out of home so all he is hoping

Pour half the oil onto mince in a bowl and mix to combine. Place a wide saucepan over high heat, add the mince and stir to break up until the mince is evenly brown. Set the mince aside.

2. Reduce the heat to medium and add remaining oil to the pan. Add the onion, carrot, celery, mushrooms and garlic, cook for 5 minutes or until starting to soften.

3. Add the mince, tomato passata, oregano, wine and stock. Add a little water if needed to cover the meat. Simmer for 40 minutes to 1 hour or until the flavour has developed and the sauce has thickened. Add the silverbeet for the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.

4. Bring a large covered saucepan of water to the boil, add the spaghetti, stir once and cook uncovered for the amount of time specified on the pack. Drain the pasta.

5. To serve, divide the spaghetti between serving bowls, ladle sauce onto spaghetti, top with grated parmesan and serve a green salad on the side.

Tips: 1. You can add other vegetables depending on what you have available in the fridge e.g. grated zucchini, eggplant, baby spinach etc.

2. To simplify the recipe, you can leave out the wine and stock and just use the tomato passata or diced tinned tomatoes. Just add a little extra water to cover the meat.

Not what we eat but how we eat Each year Australians spend $800 million trying to lose weight yet 63 percent of Australians are still overweight or obese.

Why? According to the experts, most diets work to some degree in the short term, but over the long term, many of us struggle to maintain weight-loss.

“Looking at it from a behavioural perspective, for long-term success, an eating plan has to be easy to follow. If there are special foods that need to be purchased or recipes that need to be prepared, failure is likely to follow. The simpler the eating plan, the better. And one tailored to the way people like to eat, building on what’s familiar, is ideal,” explains social researcher and author Dr Rebecca Huntley.

The Live Well Plan is a unique new eating plan based on this novel philosophy. No special foods or different recipes. Just eating properly, more of the right foods, in the right amounts from meals people are already cooking for their families, with healthy snacks every day and treats twice a week.

The Live Well plan has been developed using insights from Dr Rebecca Huntley’s consumer research groups to help increase success rates particularly among the 30-50 year age group. It recognises that we need to focus on ‘how we eat’, not just ‘what we eat’ to maintain our weight loss.

For example, according to Dr Rebecca Huntley’s research, many of us need things like snacks to help us cope with the stresses of daily life.

“An eating plan with all snacks removed is unlikely to work and can establish a mental barrier to getting started in the first place. The Live Well Plan recognises this. The strength of the Live Well Plan is its emphasis on simple, practical tips to help us eat properly, normalising our eating behaviour, which is

where most of us fall down,” explains Dr Rebecca Huntley.

Developed by Meat & Livestock Australia with the assistance of nutrition experts such as Advanced Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) Melanie McGrice and social researcher Dr Rebecca Huntley, the Live Well Plan includes the right balance of nutrient-rich protein foods and high fibre low GI grains to help you feel satisfied, while meeting important nutrient needs such as protein and iron.

“The scientific evidence also shows that a higher protein, low GI eating plan can also help to improve cholesterol levels, blood pressure and fasting blood glucose. These are risk factors for metabolic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. As those aged 30-50 are at risk of developing these kinds of lifestyle conditions, managing health through an easy to follow sustainable eating plan like the Live Well Plan is even more important for this age group,” explains Melanie McGrice, who specialises in weight management.

“In my practice, I’m often asked about the best ways to maintain weight loss and lower cholesterol, particularly from the 30-50 age group. The higher protein, low GI eating plan is flexible and encourages you to eat a variety of foods from each food group - helping you to eat properly, meet your nutritional needs, making it easier to lose weight. It’s important to base your meals around protein-rich foods, including beef and lamb 3-4 times per week for iron and zinc, and the plan recognises this”, she added.

Best of all, the Live Well Plan is free. The Live Well Plan brochure can be downloaded at www. themainmeal.com.au along with nutrition tips and recipe ideas.

New mental health workforce to improve mental health services in Australia

A ground-breaking new beyondblue program powered by Movember funds will allow thousands of Australians with depression or anxiety to refer themselves to free early intervention services before their condition worsens.

NewAccess is an Australian-first program designed to ease the burden on current services by offering low-intensity support to people with mild depression or anxiety. Because it can be accessed easily through self-referral or via traditional referral channels such as GPs, it also promises to significantly boost the number of Australians who get support, particularly those who usually don’t or can’t access services, such as men or people in regional areas.

The $13.25 million trial, which is funded with $8.15 million from strategic investor Movember and the remainder from beyondblue. beyondblue CEO EVERY FATHER THAT Kate Carnell said ORDERS A MEAL AT NewAccess will create A R BISTRO ON FATHER’S a new mental health DAY WILL RECEIVE A workforce by employing FREE SCHOONER specially-trained coaches BEVERAGE who offer individuallyFROM THE BAR

tailored programs to people experiencing low-level psychological distress. She said its accessibility means it will engage distressed people early to treat their condition before it worsens, thereby complementing and integrating with current mental health services and lightening the load on the existing system. It is based on a hugely successful UK program, Improving Access to Psychological Therapies, which achieved good results in less time and at less cost than traditional therapies.

“NewAccess is an incredibly exciting development for mental health services in Australia,” Ms Carnell said. “It is adapted from a UK program that achieved a recovery rate of 50% and showed that lowintensity approaches can work just as well as highintensity ones for people with mild to moderate depression or anxiety. With NewAccess, if a wife is a bit worried about her husband’s wellbeing, she can have him pick up the phone and book an appointment to have an informal chat with one of our coaches. He can then be given some self-help strategies and a bit of support, confident in the knowledge that he has been put on the right path to recovery. If, of course, he needs more intensive psychological support, he will be referred to his GP to coordinate that immediately.”

Ms Carnell said NewAccess is delivered in different ways including face-to-face meetings, telephone support and with the use of an online resource.

“There are around three million Australians who live with depression or anxiety, but only a third of these seek support,” she said. “We hope that this program’s accessibility, cost-effectiveness and individual tailoring can significantly boost that.” The NewAccess trial will be open to all ACT residents when it launches in October 2013. All coaches will be members of the local community, and the ACT Medicare Local in conjunction with beyondblue has now started recruiting. Two more demonstration sites will be set up early in 2014, with all trials funded by beyondblue and Movember.

They will run for approximately two years and are being independently evaluated over the course of the program. This evaluation will then be put to the Federal government for consideration.

The Minister for Mental Health and Ageing, Senator Jacinta Collins said the stigma often associated with mental illness is real, and can be a major factor in people accessing care.

“Unfortunately, we know this stigma continues to disproportionately affect men,” she said. “What really matters is providing the mental health services that will engage men and give them the help they need.”

Movember COO Jason Hincks said Movember is committed to supporting innovative programs that change the face of men’s health.

“In the case of mental health the need is urgent,” he said. “We know that men taking action early is the most effective way of recovering from a mental health issue. We know that too many men don’t take action, leading in many cases to tragic consequences.

Sheep CRC five-year extension The Cooperative Research Centre for Sheep Industry Innovation (Sheep CRC) is a major step closer to winning a five-year funding extension for its ground-breaking research, following confirmation by the Commonwealth Government that its application has been shortlisted.

The Sheep CRC is one of 12 applicants out of the initial 17 to progress to the next round, which will involve the delivery next month of detailed research programs for assessment, followed by an interview process later this year.

With applicants seeking a share of $240 million in Commonwealth funds, Sheep CRC chief executive James Rowe said the process was highly competitive, but a key selling point for the sheep industry’s bid was the extensive support from the endusers of the research – ram breeders, sheep and wool producers, meat processors and the retail sector.

The Sheep CRC’s application is built around three key areas of research: to enhance monitoring and management of sheep wellbeing; to introduce value-based trading of sheepmeat; and to deliver affordable DNA-based genetic tools.

“We believe this research program will continue the technological transformation of the sheep industry and build on the productivity gains we are already seeing as a result of our work to date,” Sheep CRC chief executive James Rowe said.

“Importantly, there are 35 organisations, covering the full length of the sheep supply chain, supporting the application by pledging financial and in-kind support to assist in delivering the research program if the application is successful.”

One of those participants is the Western Australian Meat

Marketing Co-operative Limited (WAMMCO), one of Australia’s largest exporters of chilled and frozen lamb. WAMMCO Chairman Dawson Bradford said the five-year extension of the Sheep CRC was vital for the future profitability of the entire sheepmeat industry.

“The Sheep CRC’s delivery of genetic markers for meat tenderness, intramuscular fat and lean meat yield and their relationship to eating quality, is already giving producers the technology to breed superior animals,” Mr Bradford said.

“We now need new research to deliver the tools to measure and grade eating quality as part of the processing system, so that the public can continue to have confidence in the quality of our product.”

Mr Bradford also backed the Sheep CRC’s proposed focus on identifying new cuts from yearling Merinos, which could help support the development of new high-value export markets.

Similarly, Australian Superfine Wool Growers Association Immediate Past President Helen Cathles said the research agenda was “extremely important” to the future profitability of the wool sector.

“World-wide Australia’s reputation at the superfine end is a reputation of excellence, and we have to stay in that bracket,” Mrs Cathles said. “Without on-going research by the Sheep CRC into identifying superior genetics in breeding animals, we run the risk of not being at the cutting edge and of losing that international reputation.”

Murray Wilton appointed RAS General Manager Agriculture The Royal Agricultural Society of NSW (RAS) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Murray Wilton to the role of General Manager, Agriculture.

A 25-year career in radio broadcasting and positions as an RAS of NSW Councillor and Business Development Manager for the Agricultural Societies Council of Australia, Mr Wilton brings with him a wealth of knowledge across the media, marketing and agriculture sectors.

RAS Chief Executive Michael Kenny welcomes Mr Wilton to the management team and said he looks forward to the fresh approach Murray will bring to the position.

“Murray has had an extensive career in the media and adds his experience in publicity, promotions and marketing to his knowledge and passion for agriculture,” said Mr Kenny.

Elected to RAS Council in 2003, Mr Wilton volunteered his time serving on a range of committees including the Sydney Royal Wine, Dairy and Fine Food committees, along with the Poultry, Horse, Marketing and Agriculture committees.

Mr Wilton has been the RAS Councillor

responsible for The Land Sydney Royal Showgirl competition and has stewarded for various Sydney Royal Easter Show competitions.

To date Mr Wilton has also been assisting the Agricultural Societies Council (ASC) by providing strategic advice and operational capability in the development and implementation of programs aimed at strengthening engagement between the ASC and its members and enhancing the profitability of the 195 NSW Rural Agricultural Shows.

“In his role as RAS General Manager Agriculture, Murray will be tasked with increasing the agricultural profile of the RAS, building stronger links to industry and government and broadening the Society’s consumer interface,” said Mr Kenny.

Murray Wilton said he’s thrilled be to joining the RAS in a new capacity.

“After a long association with the RAS both as a Member and Councillor, accepting the position as General Manager of Agriculture

is exciting and I’m looking forward to promoting the benefits and importance of agriculture in NSW and working with an organisation I feel very passionate about,” said Mr Wilton.

“Agriculture is the foundation of any community and through education, support and understanding the needs of this industry we can grow and sustain its future.

I believe the RAS is an organisation that can provide this and I’m very excited to be part of it.”

Murray Wilton will commence in the role of General Manager Agriculture in September.

Bunyanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bill Shanley goes global

Some of the many, many tractors residing at â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Homeleighâ&#x20AC;?, Bunyan.

Bill Shanley, unofficially known as the Mayor of Bunyan, loves tractors.

Over the last decade or so, Billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection (not including the diecast models and other toys) has grown to more than 100.

They come in all sizes, with a multitude of names emblazoned on them.

John Deeres, Fergies, Chamberlain (Bill has one of the biggest Chamberlain collections in Australian), English, Australian, American tractors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bill has just about one of everything.

So it no surprise he has been included in a National Geographic program â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Clash of the Collectorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which pits his collection against one in Iowa, USA and in Brazil.

The two-man National Geographic team visited Bill and his collection at â&#x20AC;&#x153;Homeleighâ&#x20AC;?, Bunyan early in August.

They were given the complete Bunyan experience â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including feeding ewes and lambs, helping Bill pull a dead lamb from a ewe, chasing kangaroos off the lucerne (they thought â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;roos were extinct in Australia) and meeting a few of the locals.

While tight-lipped about their project Anthony and Guy said the program would be screened either later this year or in early 2014 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that decision resting with their employers.

On the day The Monaro Post visited, Bill demonstrated how to remove the cabin off a Minneapolis â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Moline tractor Bill had recently purchased from South Australia.

He thought it looked much more attractive without the cab.

A few of us joined Billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife Moya for a barbecue lunch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Moya had a roo steak cooked for Anthony and Guy to taste-test. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a popular choice for the Aussies assembled around the table.

This day also included interviews with a few of the locals.

Will Dixon obliged with an interview on camera.

The team spent two days filming and interviewing before heading back to Sydney to fly to South Africa and then home to England.

The program should provide some entertaining footage.

Schute Bell wool report A solid performance from the market this week with only some very minor movements recorded.

Just 12 cents is the difference between the high and low point of the Northern region Indicator over the past five selling weeks.

This period of calm is hopefully the building of a platform to which prices can push higher. Notably the Carding Indicator continued its run up into uncharted territory.

This time last year it was less than half the price of a 21 micron fleece type and now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only a few hundred cents below.

Are cardings dear or is the fleece wool too cheap? Different uses for the products make it a difficult comparison but on paper the Merino fleece types look cheap.

A small national offering with just the Eastern seaboard in action resulted in 24,943 bales sold for the week with a

passed in rate of just three percent. Major buyers included Tianyu, Fox & Lillie and Techwool. With the demise of the Newcastle selling centre comes the first designated Australian Superfine feature sale in Sydney next week which is one of seven allocated for the season.

41,500 bales are expected to be on offer nationally with a similar quantity scheduled for the following two weeks.

This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales 41,529 bales are expected to be offered nationally with 12,358 in Sydney. Schute Bell, Wool Auctions, Goddard & Monaro Wool are selling on Thursday.

Snowliner’s latest adventure…

Above: the view from the lunch spot from Kisadasi.

Right: Basilica of St John.

Jenny Evans Our next stop was at a rug making showroom.

A young lady gave a demonstration on the double knotted silk rug which would take a year to complete.

Silk is the second strongest thread next to the cobweb. On the way in I saw a similar size with a $US37,000 price tag on it. As much as I loved this rug picture I was not game ask the price - even with a 40% discount!

We then had a bit of free time to explore the Grand Bizarre - mind boggling is all I can say. 4,000 shops, 57 streets and 17 gates. A few purchases were made and one shop holder did not want his own currency, preferred to receive Euro or American dollars.

Finishing the tour with a cruise around the Brospherous. This is the water around Istanbul from which you enter the Black Seas or the Marmara Sea. he area is not recommended to swimmers, owing to strong currents, and no beaches were seen. Water from the Black Sea has a

higher salt content than water from the Dardanelles so its current flows one way and the Dardanelles (on top) flows the other way. Traffic on the Brospherous was like highway traffic, thousands use it to cross from the Asia side to the Europe side for work.

Istanbul is not the capital of Turkey but it is the largest city. What knowledge will we learn tomorrow? After tea we watched the light show on the Ataturk Bridge and all the mosques around are well lit which gave the city a fairy-tail appearance.

After breakfast on Sunday morning one of our new friends asked if we were woken with the smell last night. No we replied to which she informed us after ringing the office she was told not to go outside as tear gas had been let off. She said too late she went out to see if she could see where the smoke was, at quite some distance it still burnt her eyes. Obviously the revellers got a bit carried away with their win and needed to be controlled.

Our guide for today is Gokhan, apparently there are 12,000 guides in Turkey. Istanbul is the oldest city in the world and once again we cross to the Asia (old city) side by way of the Golden Horn Bridge.

Along both sides of this bridge stand the locals trying to catch fish in the Bosphorus, some appear to

have a dozen rods. Several islands around are known as Prince’s Islands as obviously that is where the Prince’s went, today they are summer islands dotted in the Marmara Sea. First stop is at the Blue Mosque which was finished in 1616. We had to take our shoes off here for entry. Mosques do not have any faces painted on their walls.

Twenty thousand blue Iznik tiles make up designs within the Blue Mosque. Moslems are encouraged to pray up to five times a day.

Next is the Topkapi Palace Museum, built in 1462 with elaborate meeting rooms and clocks from the 17th, 18th and 19th Century. The Harem House and its 400 rooms housed 25-50 concubines who were protected by eunuchs. The concubines were ‘lorded’ over by the Queen Mother, wife, sisters, daughters of sons and favourites. To be a favourite you were required to ‘perform/service’ twice for the Sultan, often being chosen by the Queen Mother. There is a collection of artefacts and jewels here including the Topkapi Diamond at 86 carats, and two candle holders that contain 45kgs of gold each There were 36 sultans in the Ottoman Empire and the last one was exiled in 1922 Hagia Sophia started as a Christian Church in 325. It was once the greatest

church in the world but now rates as number four. It became a Mosque when Turks entered Constantinople and in 1935 Ataturk turned it into a museum. When it became a mosque all the faces within the church had to be covered. It is now being renovated. The dome is 31 x 33 metres.

The original church took five years to build.

One marble paving stone took one month to carve, being cut by a strand of silk!

After a short visit to the Grand Bazaar area we finished our tour at the Spice Bazaar where the mind just boggles at the spices for sale, and the taste buds salivate at the Turkish delight. Back on deck my step counter says we have walked 12,647 steps during the tour, no wonder our feet are aching.

The symbolism of the Turkish flag is red for the blood of those who died for the country and the crescent and moon was a reflection of those who died.

After that big day it is definitely time for a reinvigorating drink (soft of course). Up to the Crows Nest where we met Pam who was playing trivia with four of our friends.

Well she kept us entertained for the next two hours. And now we are leaving Istanbul behind by way of the Bosphorus then the Sea of Marmara before entering the Dardanelles and the Adriatic Sea. Continued next week...

JINDABYNE BUSHPIGS

2013 GRAND FINAL

The Captain’s word – Jake Roarty When you tell people that you live in Jindabyne they go on and on about how lucky you are to have the snow at your doorstep.

I always agree but the biggest reason I love this town is the community and there is no bigger representative of this community than the Bushpigs.

We have people behind the scenes that pour their own time into making rugby possible, business owners that tip in thousands of dollars in sponsorship to keep our club afloat, mums and dads who drive their kids miles to footy each week and sit in the cold to watch them run around with a smile on their face. This is Rugby and this is Jindabyne. I have been involved in this club for 13 years now and like most in the club, I just can’t seem to leave. The spirit of this club and the people within it seem to draw you in and keep you there. I have been involved in three premierships, from 2006 in my first year looking up to guys like Matthew Fish and Michael Needham all the way to last year’s history making premiership on our home ground. This year however, I have been given the privilege to not only play alongside this talented group of players but have been given the chance to lead them as captainsomething I take great pride in. From my first game as a Piglet I thought of one day having the chance to lead this club, and to now have the chance to

hopefully guide them to a premiership is an honour.

The players in the squad this year have been exceptional; every single player has put in everything they can for one another, from pre season right up until the game this weekend.

We are a strong group of friends that seem to click on a rugby field and nothing gives us as a team more joy than the opportunity to represent this great town.

To the players, congratulations on your efforts and I look forward to standing beside you on that field come Saturday.

To our club, thank you for all of your support and countless hours spent on the club as a whole this year. To our valued sponsors, we can’t thank you enough for your contributions that allow us, and hundreds of kids the chance to play the sport we love.

To the little blokes and girls who have run around in a green jumper all year, congratulations to all of you, plenty of us in this side started as piglets and we hope you come through to be a Pig one day too. And finally to the people of Jindabyne, thank you for your continued support this season and I encourage you to come along to the John Conners Oval this Saturday to support us. The entire team is humbled by the amount of support we continue to receive - so please get into green and come and get behind us this weekend.

JINDABYNE BUSHPIGS 2013 GRAND FINAL Bushpigs season review 2013 In what was one of the most successful seasons in 2012 for the Jindabyne Rugby Union Club, the question was raised could the Bushpigs do it again in the clubs 30th year anniversary.

After losing a number of players at the end of the 2012 season which included the retirement of stalwart second rower Matt Fish, Michael Bottom and Andrew Burke and then the loss of the 2012 Best and Fairest/Players Player John Field and the undecided nature of hooker Daniel Josifovski was going to make it a tough task.

Captain Coach, Matt Tripet continued to take the reins of the squad in 2013 and saw early success in the Pre Season with the Bushpigs taking out the Country Cup at the Kiamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 7s and also the mini pre-season Tournament down in Batemans Bay. To fill the void of the departing players, the club welcomed the return of Dirk Wilkins who has been in the wilderness for a few years, Rob Morris from the Central Coast and a number of up and coming JRUC juniors in Sam Misfud, Tom Ashton, Cody Norling and Shane Rohnfield which was an encouraging sign for the JRUC. Coach Tripet decided to hand the captaincy to Jake Roarty in the 2013 season to concentrate more on coaching and playing well this season. After a freak health scare late in 2012, Roarty took little part in the final series in 2012. It has been a massive feat for Roarty who has gone on to put in one of the best seasons for the club since his junior days, being the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top point scorer this season and be rewarded with a Monaro representative jersey. With likes of Michael Needham, Ian Vagg, Andrew McDonald and Craig Dixon still in the squad, Tripet was blessed with experience for the 2013 season.

The 2013 season couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have started in tougher fashion with the Bushpigs up against their 2012 grand finalist the Crookwell Dogs in Crookwell. A trip to Crookwell is never an easy task and on both visiting trips the Bushpigs went to Crookwell with under strength squads but managed to came out victors on both occasions. Crookwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit to Jindabyne in the past few years hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been memorable and this year was no different with Bushpigs convincingly winning 6912 win which saw the return of influential hooker Josifovski, showing his presence with some solid hitting.

Following Crookwell was the unpredictable Boorowa Goldies, it was the Bushpigs turn to face them in two home games this year with first game looking like a cricket score with a 82 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 0 win to the Bushpigs. The Bushpigs unleased a unknown star with former inside centre now a fully fledged forward Dave Akkersdyk filling the void of Field in the no.8 jersey in season 2013 by scoring four tries on the day. The

away trip to Boorowa was a wet one, the Bushpigs coming out victors 31-0.

The third game was won in unfortunate circumstances with the Goldies forfeiting.

Round three was a tough drive to Taralga to face off against the Taralga Tigers.

The Tigers were the only team to test the Bushpigs in the 2012 season and would have been hurting from their one point semi final loss in 2012. The Bushpigs travelled with a determined team, knowing that the Tigers always put up a tough fight. Matthew Caldwell starred in the game by scoring a length of field try and setting a number of others in a convincing 45-30 win. In the corresponding game in Jindabyne a similar score line was seen with a 41 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 31 win to the Bushpigs with the sense of another premiership on its way saw the return of Michael Bottom sniffing for more glory. The second away trip to Taralga was quoted

by Captain Roarty â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The best 30 minutes of rugby we have put in all seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; where the The Bushpigs were Rugby Sevens winners in 2013.

Bushpigs posted a 45-15 win.

Mid way through the season a representative bye weekend was scheduled rise of Roarty to the coaching roll after Tripet had to part ways for the Provincial Championships. A number of Bushpigs including Steve Rompannen, Dave with the club due to family commitments. With the Bushpigs Akkersdyk, Matthew Caldwell, Josh Shortland, Ian Vagg, in pole position to clinch another minor premiership and the Liam Pepper and along with Jake Roarty went on to chance to host another home final, Roarty showed his true represent Monaro in the championships. The Monaro boys leadership in the final rounds of the competition. Even though were unlucky to go down against Southern Inland in the final. based in Canberra, Roarty managed to lift the boys on a It was great to see majority of the squad was dominated by number of occasions including the two tough roads trips to Bushpigs players which reflected the strength of the 2013 Crookwell and Taralga in the final round without key players Bushpigs squad with all boys playing a vital role during the throughout the round.

After capping of the season undefeated, the Bushpigs Provincial Championships. Caldwell and Rompannen had an outstanding championship going on to be selected in the came up against Taralga in the major semi final. With the weather being turned on in typical Jindabyne fashion and a Brumbies Provincial Squad.

Following the competition bye, the Bushpigs returned to number players fitness questioned including representative home soil up against the Bungendore Mudchooks. Over the back Matthew Caldwell, the Bushpigs didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give the Tigers past few years, the Mudchooks have been one of the most one inch winning 30 -6 and clinching the JRUC a second successful teams in the Monaro Division 2 competition, consecutive home grand final . 2012 Grand Final hero Josh always putting up stiff opposition with the Bushpigs, but a big Shortland, the mature Liam Pepper and Captain/Coach turn over in players in the past two years saw the Bushpigs Roarty led the charge and stood up to the occasion brining post three convincing scores on them during the season with another grand final.

So can the Bushpigs repeat their success in 2013 and go a 48 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 5 and 50 -14 wins in Jindabyne and a 41- 7 win in Bungendore where stand out forward Isaac Maw scoring his back to back, come and find out 2:30pm Saturday at John first ever double as match highlight. This game also saw the Connors Oval and find out!

2013

JINDABYNE BUSHPIGS GRAND FINAL

Jindabyne V Taralga Tigers Saturday’s grand final sees the coming together of the two most consistent teams in the Monaro 2 Division competition this season.

The Jindabyne Bushpigs take on the Taralga Tigers at John Connors Oval in a decider where any team can win on the day.

This will mark the fifth and final time these two teams will meet each other.

The Tigers advanced to the grand final after a convincing 42 – 20 win over its arch rivals the Crookwell Dogs over the weekend and will be brimming back with confidence.

However, with them yet to defeat the Bushpigs this season, they only need to win this weekend for it to make it count and spoil any fairy tale ending to the Jindabyne’s club 30th year anniversary.

The Bushpigs have made light work of the Tigers on all four occasions this year with convincing wins, the most recent being the 30-6 win in the Major Semi Final only a week ago.

This score line should have been

blown to out be more, had Bushpigs captain Jake Roarty brought his kicking boots to the game.

If the Bushpigs were to go back to back this year they will be looking at starting off well, something that has been their strength all season.

With a strong vocal crowd being them, early points will only make them flow on. 2012 Grand Final hero, Josh Shortland is a big game player and watch out for his destructive ball running come into play this weekend.

Shortland gave Tigers inside centre Dave Cudaj are hard time in the Major Semi final, and this weekend will be no different.

Also the return of Monaro representative player of the year Matthew Caldwell is a major boost to the Bushpigs back line. Caldwell is one of most elusive ball runners in the competition and will punish the Tigers from anywhere in the park if they are caught napping.

The Tigers haven’t tasted grand final success since 2007 and a hope of

upset this weekend will come down to aggression within their forward pack.

On the four occasions they have played the Bushpigs, the Bushpigs were tested out a number of times when the Tigers pack fired.

Tigers Captain Will Headley will be a key player to watch for the Tigers.

Headley is great at pilfering and will seize at any opportunity he will get if the ball isn’t secure at the breakdown.

Another key player in the Tigers pack is their No.8.

He is one player that gets the team on the front foot. Once he gets momentum going he is hard to stop and will be relying on this to feed his fast man on the outside.

The Bushpigs have everything going for them with home ground advantage and the perfect record this season, however the Tigers have got nothing to lose with the underdog status. There can only be one winner this weekend, who will prevail?

Kick off 2:30pm at John Connors Oval, Jindabyne.

Players to Watch Jake ROARTY – Fly Half Recently awarded “best and fairest” player for the Monaro second division, the fly half and captain of the Bushpigs will need to lead his men around the field. His natural ability and decision making are key to the team’s success. Also watch for the number 10 to be spoiling in the breakdown a skill most fly-halfs shy away from. His passing game and general play kicking have been consistently accurate and his vision to find a gap will be a must come Saturday.

Michael NEEDHAM - Prop Has been a past captain and a coach for the side and has also knocked up well over 150 first grade games for the club. He has been instrumental in previous winning grand finals (1999, 2006, 2008, 2012) and his leadership and experience vital for the team’s success. Adds a lot of strength in both attack and defence, keep an eye out for his brutal hits in defence. Rule no.1 don’t run at sauce.

Michael BOTTOM – Outside Centre Another veteran amongst the side in both games played and age, the pigs gladly accepted him back from retirement half way through the regular season. The rest must of given youth to his ageing legs as the outside centre is having a stellar year. His enthusiasm, experience and decision making will place the piggies in good steed. Around the paddock look for him and his other centre pairing for strong runs and solid “d”!

Dave AKKERSDYK – No. 8 A rather young and formidable face within the side this young man has settled in very well to his new home at number 8. With a great Monaro representative campaign he was unlucky not to make it through to the provincial brumbies side. His strength and fitness have been critical to the side as his mop of blonde hair will be seen in almost every aspect of play for the full 80 minutes. He is a terror at the breakdown and with ball in hand a nightmare for the oppositions defence.

Congratulations to Jake Roarty, Captain of the Bushpigs who has been voted Division 2 Player of the Year and Matt Caldwell who is the Monaro Rep Player of the Year.

Old ski jackets donated to underprivileged kids around the world In 2011 the decision was made by the new committee to update the old red club ski jackets.

They were replaced with the colourful and distinctive jacket that is now familiar on the ski slopes of Thredbo.

This then led to the question of what to do with the old jackets? They ranged from well worn but still serviceable to brand new.

The committee preferred that they did not appear on the mountain worn by non club members so the prospect of donating them to an overseas charitable organisation was investigated.

Many inquiries with organisations such as the Nepalese embassy, UNHCR and UNICEF were made and it was discovered that getting the jackets to these deserving kids would be at a considerable expense.

There was a family connection at the time with a charity that exported donated clothing items to needy African countries, but the connection was lost and there was no assurance of where the jackets would go.

Graeme Windsor’s position as volunteer president of an international sporting body requires him to travel a few times each year, so we thought we would be able to distribute them ourselves. We feel this is quite successful and from about 60 jackets only about 20 remain. We discovered that four jackets compressed well into baggage and weighed roughly three to four kilos.

The first eight jackets went to Vancouver in October 2012. Graeme visited friends who live in the Gibsons (just near the turn off to go up to Whistler Blackcomb) who have friends involved in running a school for the disadvantaged children in Vancouver.

Graeme’s next jacket trip was to Dubai for a major

international skydiving world competition and where he knew he would be seeing people from many cold climate countries.

He made friends with a driver working at the event who was from the northern part of India and he makes an annual visit to see his wife and children and said he would be very happy to take the eight jackets as it is very cold in winter and is a very poor area.

In January 2013 Graeme took eight Jackets to Banja Luka, BosniaHerzogovina. His friends there are involved with an orphanage and this country is still emerging from the devastation of the Balkan wars, and is going through an imbalance. His friends were very happy to be able to distribute the jackets to the underprivileged children in the local area.

In May 2013 Graeme travelled to Yorkshire, UK where his friends are involved in a local rowing club which Graeme handing over the jackets to the President of the Banja Luka encourages young people to take up parachuting club, Mr Zlatan Crnalic, a former military pilot with strong the sport to improve their health and to connections to local charities, the City Council and State Government. develop a focus on outdoor activities.

Graeme is currently back in Bosnia Herzegovina and has taken another eight ski area in Tanay, in the Kemerovo region of Siberia. jackets and some polar fleeces for more needy local kids.

It is great to see the old Thredbo St Moritz ski jackets We anticipate the remaining jackets will be going to going to new homes around the world and being used by Dubai again later this year and to Austria in January 2014. kids that would otherwise feel the cold a lot more.

All the remaining jackets will go to a local community in a

Cooma Colts U/12s valiant semis win

James Hayden.

James Hayden for Cooma Colts Under 12s against Valley Dragons.

Photo supplied by the Colts. Thank you.

The Cooma Colts Mainstreet U/12’s travelled to Canberra on Sunday to play in the Minor Semi finals against Valley Dragons.

They needed this win to keep any dreams alive of stepping up and getting closer to playing in the grand final.

Valley Dragons showed some good defence in the first half but with a good pass from James Hayden to Remy Oldrey, Remy stepped his way in to cross under the post, converting his own goal.

Cooma were a little flat making some mistakes only to have Will Pendergast make a break up the side line to cross

the line, with Archie Allen converting.

Valley Dragons then become to strong also crossing the line making the half time score their way 14-12.

With some positive talk from Andy Hayden and Rob Zusak at half time, we saw Jayden Miners have a great second half crossing the line twice, with Bailey Rogers converting but unfortunately James Hayden was unsuccessful at his attempt. The full time score was 22-18.

The player of the week went to Jayden Miners, The Tourist cafe mini meal awards went to James Hayden and Archie Allen. Thanks to Nikki Zusak for helping on the day also.

Bushpigs Under 11s.

Under 11’s On Saturday The Bushpigs Under 11’s travelled to Canberra for their Semi Final against Marist.

In a tough and low scoring game Marist ran out winners 10 – 0.

Jindabyne crossed the line twice but unfortunately on both occasions were held up.

The Jindy crew never gave up & fought hard to the end.

It was an unfortunate end to a successful season with only having lost one game previously. A big thank you to all

Bushpigs Under 13s. those that contributed throughout the season.

Under 13’s U13’s travelled to Daramarlan to play Marist Sky for a place in the Grand Final.

It was a beautiful day for football with the Bushpigs dominating the first half and going into the break with a 5-0 lead.

The second half saw Marist put three tries on the board to win the game 19-5.

Considering the injuries to vital team members, sickness and no subs, the boys played admirably.

Congratulations on a great year boys – you can hold your heads high with the quality of football you have played this year and the spirit in which you have played it.

We are all very proud of you!

Well done and all indications point to a successful season for 2014 - see you all then!!

Good luck to the seniors this week.

AFL 2013 Tipping Competition

Who says that mountain men donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a soft and sensitive side? Some months ago local policeman, Matt Jacobs, challenged Adaminaby Golf Club to raise $1,000 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation and declared, if the target was met, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d wear a pink tutu and tube top to the next golf day on Saturday, September 14.

The target has already been passed thanks to many generous contributions from local, regional and other â&#x20AC;&#x153;interestedâ&#x20AC;? organisations. Other local identities, Heath Hayes and Dean Pinner, have also put up their hands to do likewise if more funds are raised and this pair should exude sex appeal in a pink tutu and tube top.

The day promises to offer a load of fun with all proceeds from the day going to the Foundation.

There will be prizes galore for both skillful and lucky players with the major team prize being for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;secret scoreâ&#x20AC;?.

As always, kids are very welcome to come along and join in the festivities.

According to one of the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organisers, Bill Faulkner, â&#x20AC;&#x153;talent with a golf club is hardly a pre-requisite for the day but we do insist that players turn up with the intention of having a lot of fun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have recently decided that blokes wearing a tutu should be allowed at least one tee shot from the ladies markers in compensation for the many ribald comments that will undoubtedly come their wayâ&#x20AC;?.

Robert Oatley Wines will be offering wine tastings on the course and the Snow Goose Hotelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jolly Trolley will ensure players do not expire from dehydration during play.â&#x20AC;?

Mixed pairs action at Cooma bowling greens In a social game of pairs, Ron Wainwright and Richard Nichols were jet-propelled in setting up a 22/1 advantage over Hazel walker and Sergio Roncelli after just 11 ends.

From that point on Hazel and Sergio matched their opposition over the remaining 14 ends but went down 31/12.

Allan Crowe, Keith Goodwin and Neil McGregor had the better of the early ends against Max Povey, Mike Mannille and Mark Buckley but then folded under pressure and went down 28/19.

In a mixed pairs matchup Cheryl Meillon and Geoff Venables had a real battle with Mary Phillips and Jack Sajina for 11 ends with the latter pair holding a very slender on shot lead 10/9, which they extended to 13/10 before Cheryl and Geoff found the line and length.

Over the final eight ends, Geoff and Cheryl won eight and outscored their opposition eight shots to two for a 18/15 win.

The remaining first round matches in mixed pairs were played on Sunday.

Daphne Fraser and Peter Caldwell trailed Ev Hamilton and Sergio Roncelli 1 /4 after three ends but Daphne and Peter scored seven shots on end four which set Ev and Sergio back on their heels and they never really recovered, with Daphne and Peter dominating from that point onwards to eventually win 22/13.

Gwen Caldwell and Bob Douglas got off to a flyer against Daphne and Mark Buckley

to lead 10/3 after eight ends.

At that point Daphne and Mark scored two threes and a one to even the score and the rubbed salt into the wounds by scoring six shots on end 12, only to have Gwen and Bob hit back with our shot on the next end.

By winning seven of the remaining ends, Daphne and Mark ran out winners 30/15.

Lestelle and Wayne Lodge started with a great rush against Jo and John Baldwin to lead 16/1 before the Baldwin’s got going.

By end 14 they trailled by just 131/17 and were right back in the game.

However, Lestelle and Wayne played some consistent bowls and went on to win 30/18.

Another match up by two husband and wife teams, Dawn and Ross Russell versus Cathy and Tony Gray – Dawn and Ross were on target from the word go to lead

14/4 and the halfway point, at which time Cathy and Tony outplayed their opponents to level the scores at 15/15 on end 16, but dropped six shots on end 18.

There was mention of Plan B for Cathy and Tony and this almost worked but was thwarted by two fine shots from Ross to give the Russells victory 26/18.

Judy Locker, playing in her first club event, partnered John Vincent against Max Povey and Hazel Walker.

Judy and John had an early break to lead 14/7 at the halfway mark, before going on to win 25/9.

Ron Wainwright and Leonie Snell held a slight lead over Una and Colin Roberson halfway through their match.

Three shots on the 12th end an anther three on end 16 put Ron and Leonie in a strong position, 17/10, with four ends to play.

Una and Colin were unable to make any inroads and eventually went down 12/21.

The next round matches in this event will be played next weekend with one match on Saturday.

Ron Wainwright and Leonie Snell V Judy Locker and John Vincent.

On Sunday Daphne and Mark Buckley V Daphne Fraser and Peter Caldwell, Lestelle and Wayne Lodge V Dawn and Ross Russell and Olga Jebbink and Paul Cannell V Cheryl Meillon and Geoff Venables.

Barnes and Robinson win fours championship Cooma Golf report by Garry Atkinson Congratulations to Andrew Barnes and Dave Robinson on a fine 3 over par 75 to take out the 2013 Foursomes Championship from club president Steve Young and Brian Searl.

Some warmer weather graced the golf course last week and so golfers were treated to early spring conditions and scores improved accordingly.

As just mentioned, the Foursomes Champions for this year are Andrew Barnes and Dave Robinson with Brian Searl and Steve Young coming in runners up.

Ball winners went to 75.5 nett with Sam and Phil Patricks just getting home. Longest drives were taken out by smooth swinging Matthew Hanna – A grade. Roy Hankinson in B grade and Robert O’Farrell - C grade. Nearest the pin on the ninth was won by Andrew Barnes and Tony Monday hit a lovely close shot on the 17th.

On Sunday two Holden Scramble competitions enticed a few Cooma players to Canberra at Queanbeyan and Federal Golf Clubs but 25 players still made it to Cooma Golf Club for a single stableford.

A grade winner was Dave Crawford (thawing out after winter) with a fine 39

points. B grade went to Denis Minehan with 39 points and C grade saw Jeff Burgess take out the trophy with 36 points.

Ball winners went down to Brad Burke (also thawing out after winter) with 35 points. Nearest the pin on the ninth went to John Gargett with Col Langdon having the nearest shot on the 17th.

Last a single stableford saw Lindsay Blewitt hit form with a great 37 points to win the day from Garry Atkinson on 36 points on a countback from Phil Amey and Denis Minehan also with 36 points.

Ball winners went down to 32 points.

Nearest the pin on the ninth went to Garry Atkinson and on the 17th John Alexander hit a beauty to be the closest shot of the day. Next Wednesday sees an individual stableford on the books with (of course) fine, sunny weather.

Saturday sees the Centenary Cup and September monthly medal scheduled and Sunday will be round 10 of the super stableford with an individual competition run in conjunction.

See you on the course.

Stallions under 18 into grand final

The Cooma stallions 18s travelled to Moruya to play Merimbula/Pambula/ Bombala in the major semi-final on Sunday and came away with a hardfought victory 28 points to 24.

Before the start of the game the feeling around the team was positive which showed in the opening minutes with the boys starting well, going to a 16 to nil lead only to let Merimbula/Pambula/ Bombala back in the game before half time, going to the break up 16 to 6.

The second half started off poorly for the young Stallions putting constant pressure on themselves with dropped balls and giving away penalties to hand the lead to Merimbula/Pambula/Bombala 24 points to 16 with 12 minutes remaining in the game.

That was until an AFL style take to Brandon Williams who ran 95m to score.

From then on it was tight. A block busting run from Blayne Thomas sealed the win in the dying minutes.

Best for Cooma was Zane Weston, Thomas Cronan, Jack Williams and Richard Bensley.

With that win the boys will be looking forward to the week off before playing in the grand final at Bega on September 8.

Pictured: Stallions U18’s team.

Right: Blayne Thomas in action.

Stallions’ last chance for GF berth The Stallions have another chance of reaching this year’s grand final after going down to an in form Moruya Sharks on Sunday.

The game started well for the boys and they were on the attack in the first minutes of the game.

However Moruya were able to hold off the challenge and progressed to the other end of the field and cross for the first try of the game.

The next 20 minutes were all Moruya as ill discipline again and some unforced errors meant Cooma were without the ball for most of this time.

Moruya were deserved leaders by 14 to nil right up unto the last minutes of the first half until Cooma were given back to back sets after a rare penalty.

This enabled them to finally mount some pressure and were rewarded with a try next to the posts thanks to Daryl Baines.

The Stallions started the second half full of confidence after this and the next 20 minutes turned into an arm wrestle.

Cooma crossed twice in this time only to have the ball spill out when trying to ground it. This seemed to deflate the boys and Moruya kept their heads and came away with a further three tries to come away convincing winners on the day 32 – 10.

The Stallions did cross one more time through Tim Williams but the game was lost by this point. Best for Cooma on the day were Todd Williams while Corey Thomas tried all day.

The Stallions get another chance this week as they take on Bega at the Cooma Showground on Sunday.

The game kicks off at 2:30 and the boys would love as much support as possible to help them join the other three grades in the 2013 decider.

The last time these two meet was at the showground and the Stallions got to a commanding lead only to see Bega fight back to within a try.

The Stallions however were able to

withhold the challenge and won the game 32 22.

This will be another tough challenge and the winner will deserve their spot come grand final day.

Congratulations to the 18’s, Fillies and Reserve Grade for making the grand finals and they will be right behind First Grade come Sunday as the boy chase and clean sweep for the Stallions.

Fillies, undefeated, into grand final The Cooma Fillies are bound for the 2013 Group 16 Leaguetag Grand Final, following their defeat of the Bega Chicks, 12-8 in Moruya on Sunday.

The win makes it the third consecutive grand final berth for the Fillies who have qualified every year since the competition’s maiden season in 2011.

The Bega Chicks received the ball from the kick off and in the opening minutes of the game, were dominant in attack and defence, cementing the Fillies in their own 20m and testing their skills early.

Though the Fillies hit back through the attack of Patrice Ingram and Meg Bracher, early nerves and some questionable refereeing decisions provided Bega with the majority of the possession.

Defensive saves from Abby Schofield and Georgie Clarke prevented Bega from capitalising on their possession early, and after 10 minutes, Maree Ingram was finally able to get a last-tackle kick away and, following a knock on from Bega’s winger, presented the Cooma girls with their first full set of possession within Bega’s half.

From here, the balance of power shifted to the Fillies, and following a strong set from Kristy Nichols and Monique Ingram, Maree Ingram was able to slide through defenders and score next to the posts.

She converted, and the score read 6-0, as it did for the remainder of the half. Georgie Clarke was unlucky not to extend the lead minutes later, taking a beautiful kick mere centimetres from the try line, but her attempts were thwarted by strong defence from the Bega girls.

Meg Bracher broke the line late in the half and, supported

by Brianna von der Burg, the cousins came to within metres from the line but Bega’s defence held strong yet again.

Though both teams strove to get ahead in the game, they were evenly matched and as half time arrived, the game was still very much in the balance.

The second half began similarly to the first, with both teams looking to reaffirm their dominance early.

Line breaks from Anna Steel and Meg Bracher positioned the girls well, while Kirrily Carberry’s last second tags and Alana Nichols’ defensive commitment prevented Bega from matching these efforts.

Cooma conceded a penalty 15m out from the line in their own half, and Bega opted to take the shot at goal, which was a testament to Cooma’s defence, with Joccoaa Rogers slotting it over and bringing the score to 6-2.

Bega’s frustrations resulted in some rough conduct in defence, and, following a stoush with Cooma’s Jade Lee, Sandy Dickson and Lee were both sin binned for 10 minutes.

This signalled the resurgence of Alicia Bolton, who returned from injury to alleviate some of the pressure that the Fillies were under.

With only 10 minutes remaining in the game, Bega’s Kezie Apps chased down a grubber and landed on Cooma’s Abby Schofield, who dislocated her shoulder whilst sandwiched between Apps and the ground.

Schofield was hospitalised from the incident, and much happier from the use of the morphine whistle, and following the injury time, Bega capitalised on Cooma’s worry for Schofield, with Apps scoring off a pass from Trudi Badullovich.

Rogers converted and for the first time in a year, Bega led Cooma, 8-6. Though Cooma’s attack waned and was confused at times in the second half, no player gave up on their desire to get back in front.

With the return of Lee to the field, Cooma were again revitalised, and errors early in the tackle count prevented Bega from regaining their earlier position in the Fillies half of the field.

When all hope looked lost, Jade Lee showed why she is the leading try-scorer in the competition, evading tired defenders and scoring next to the posts with only a minute remaining on the clock.

Maree Ingram converted and though Bega were given one more attacking set to hit back, the clock ran down and Cooma took out the game, 12-8.

The win secures the Fillies a position in the 2013 grand final at the Bega Recreational Ground on September 8, whilst Bega have to face the Cobargo Eelettes at the Cooma

Showground next weekend to determine the Fillies’ opposition.

Points this week were shared across the team, with every player deserving of recognition for their efforts in unseasonably warm conditions. 1 point went to Monique Ingram and Anna Steel; 2 points to Jade Lee and Patrice Ingram; 3 points to Abby Schofield and Meg Bracher, and Players’ player to Maree Ingram.

Cooma Fillies 12 (M. Ingram, J. Lee tries; M. Ingram 2/2 goals) def. Bega Chicks 8 (K. Apps try; J. Rogers 2/2)
