Nimmitabel Rural Fire Service held its open day last Sunday, which was attended by local personnel and residents. The day also provided an opportunity for the brigade to celebrate a new acquisition - a new toilet.

The brigade now has acess to a toilet and shower which is inside the SES shed. It means brigade members no longer have to hurry to the nearby public toilets to answer the call of nature.

Bush fire danger period starts The NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) is reminding Monaro residents that fire permits are required during the statutory Bush Fire Danger Period, starting this Thursday 1st October.

NSW RFS District Technical Coordinator Ailish Germain said hotter and drier conditions mean fires are more likely to start and spread quickly during the Bush Fire Danger Period, which officially begins on 1 October.

“From now until the end of the Bush Fire Danger Period, people wishing to light a fire in the open will require a permit, which are free and can be obtained from your local fire

brigade. The reason for a permit is to ensure that a fire is conducted under safe and controlled conditions,” Ailish said.

“Even with a permit being issued you by your local brigade are still required to provide 24hrs notice to the Rural Fire Service Control Centre (during business hours) and your neighbors prior to burning.”

“When conditions are particularly bad, such as on days of Severe, Extreme or Catastrophic Fire Danger, the NSW RFS may declare a Total Fire Ban, prohibiting the lighting of any fire in the open, even if you have a fire permit,” Ailish said.

On a day of Total Fire Ban the lighting of fires is prohibited.

This includes cooking fires using incinerators and barbecues which burn solid fuel, such

as wood or charcoal.

Gas or electric barbecues are permitted under the following conditions: › They are on residential property within 20 metres of the house or dwelling › They are in a picnic area and the appliance is approved

by Council, National Parks and Wildlife Services or State Forest › They are under the direct control of a responsible adult › The ground around a barbecue is cleared for 2 metres of all material which could burn › You have an immediate and continuous supply of water available.

“We urge all residents in the Monaro area to be vigilant and extremely careful with fire during the Bush Fire Danger Period” Ailish said.

“Every resident should have a Bush Fire Survival Plan so they know what to do on days of increased fire danger and can immediately put their plan into action if their home is threatened by fire.”

Betty needs a successor Kelly re-elected president

Local co-ordinator of Wrap With Love, Betty Mattner AM, is looking for someone to take over her role. Mrs Mattner has steered the local group for a couple of decades, but now wants another person to take over. Anyone interested should contact Betty, who is pictured with Beryl Seears and some of the many rugs due to be shipped to Sydney.

SRSC roads conundrum About 80 people attended a community meeting in Berridale last Saturday to discuss roads.

Snowy River Shire Council recently conducted a survey on local roads, asking residents what they thought was an acceptable level for the condition of roads and what they were prepared to pay to maintain the roads.

Currently, Snowy River Shire is required to value the level of service for its roads as being a condition two standard, otherwise known as ‘good’.

This rating means that not only is it financially impossible to fulfil current renewal obligations, it is equally unaffordable to maintain the remaining sealed and unsealed network on an annual basis.

Over the next 10 years it will cost $75M to bring all roads to a good standard (condition 2) and $61M to bring all roads to an acceptable standard (condition 3).

SRSC said with ratepayers’ support it can stretch every dollar further and get more roads up to the acceptable standard.

“When considering how Council could become Fit for the Future it was evident that we need to do something about our infrastructure backlog, particularly our roads. In order to allocate more money on addressing our worst roads we need to know what standard the community is willing to accept”, Mayor John Cahill said.

Saturday’s meeting allowed presentations

from general manager Joseph Vescio, council’s engineer Suneil Adhikari and works manager Gary Shakespeare.

Mr Vescio introduced council’s dilemma to the meeting, outlining the seven different categories of roads, from good to unserviceable.

He said the majority of roads within the shire were category three or four, a few were category one or two and some were category five.

He asked the audience to consider what they thought they really needed from their roads.

Mr Vescio said the Fit For the Future program imposed by the NSW State Government meant council had to develop a plan and implement within 10 years.

If it wasn’t for FFTT, council could have developed a longer-term plan of improvement and maintenance for the shire’s roads system.

However, council must now develop a plan and has applied to the State Government for a rate variation to cover the cost.

Mr Vescio said local governments across the state were struggling because they did not have the funding they had previously received.

He said in the last few years, council had lost millions of dollars in State and Federal government funding.

Questions asked at the end of Mr Vescio’s presentation were largely about alternative funding.

It was suggested that as there are more visitors in the region using local roads, especially in winter, that they should

be paying a bed tax to support the roads.

Mr Vescio said he had been arguing for a bed tax for some time, but it was not a Local Government decision.

He pointed out that the National Parks and Wildlife Service pays no rates on parks, even though visitors to the parks are heavy users of local services.

It was suggested that anyone with a commercial interest operating in the park should be contributing towards Local Government costs, by paying rates.

It was also suggested that every ratepayer should get behind council’s push for a bed tax by individually contacting the Member for Monaro John Barilaro and requesting a tax be introduced.

The Cooma Chamber of Commerce recently held Meeting the following committee was elected: their Annual General Meeting.

Kathy Kelly, President and Treasurer President Kathy Kelly advised “The chamber has Richard Mack, Vice President had a successful year. We are working strongly with Suzanne Dunning, Secretary the Cooma Monaro Shire Council, have delivered the Louise Lynch, Committee Member successful Love to Shop marketing campaign and Clare Lawley, Committee Member Renew Cooma has assisted to fill empty retail shops.

Lake Wallace progress Work on Nimmitabel’s permanent water storage, as Lake Wallace, is continuing but has been delayed by wet weather.

Last Saturday, CoomaMonaro Shire Council held an open day on the site, 6km south of Nimmitabel so the local residents could see what progress has been made.

The spine of the dam wall is easily seen now, as excavation down to the rock base has been completed and some areas have had concrete fill applied, ready for the construction of the wall.

The permanent natural creek flow structure is also ready and will allow a continuous flow of water from the dam above the wall into Pigring Creek, which feeds into the McLaughlin River.

When complete, the dam will also have a spillway which will sweep around the side to feed down into the creek.

The construction of the dam has seen intricate emphasis on environmental issues, which will ensure water entering the creek will be at a natural temperature. A holding pond has been constructed for use in the event of a spill or other contamination.

Due the weather delays, Lake Wallace is not expected to be complete until about May 2016.

Dalgetyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CWA donates to Coomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renal ward The Dalgety-Numbla Vale Country Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association (CWA) has donated two eTouch tablets to the renal unit of the Cooma Hospital this week.

With patients having to sit for up to five hours at a time whilst receiving their treatment, the tablets will offer a more diverse form of entertainment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We already have televisions for the patients, but they just have to watch whatever is on,â&#x20AC;? says Nurse Unit Manager Sharon Bennett, â&#x20AC;&#x153;With these tablets they will be able to watch movies, play games, read

books and we will also use them for patient education.â&#x20AC;?

The Dalgety-Numbla Vale CWA raised the money for the tablets through catering for various functions in the community. Leonie Kelley of the CWA said that having raised the money locally, they try to give it back to the local community.

Resourcing Families workshop for disability funding A Resourcing Families workshop is be to be held in Cooma on Wednesday October 14 at the Cooma Ex- Services Club from 9.30 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2.30.

The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ideas for Self-Directing Supportsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; workshop will be held at the Cooma ExServices Club from 9:30am â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2:30pm.

The workshop is aimed at people with disability and their families and carers, and will provide information on individualised funding and how to best

use it to support people with disability to achieve their goals and live meaningful lives.

Presenter Meg Sweeney is the mother of an adult daughter with disability and is passionate about supporting people with disability to achieve their full potential.

The Australian and NSW Governments recently announced the roll out timetable for the NDIS (National

Disability Insurance Scheme) in NSW. The Southern Region, which includes the Cooma-Monaro, Bombala and Snowy River shires, will begin implementation of the NDIS from July 1, 2016.

This workshop is a great opportunity to gain practical skills for how to make the most of this type of funding.

A local group has been set up to support the community to prepare for

Proudly sponsored by:

Fifty-five ADFA cadets have planted over 1000 native trees and shrubs at Cosgrove Hill as part of Greening Australia’s Whole of Paddock Rehabilitation Project (WOPR) recently.

The 85 hectare site just south of Bredbo is owned by Will and David Goggin, and is easily recognisable from the Monaro Highway by its two telco towers.

As part of a program providing activities outside of their main training program, 55 fit and keen ADFA cadets made their way up to the peak to a pre-prepared site, where they planted a range of local native species.

Both Graham Fifield from Greening Australia and Will Goggin thanked the cadets for a great effort. Both spoke about the benefits in linking remnant patches of vegetation on the site, providing habitat for vulnerable bird species, such as the hooded robin, diamond firetail and brown treecreeper. As they spoke, four eagles soared above them and it was noted that the recent rain will give the plants a great start.

Through Greening Australia’s highly successful WOPR program, landholders with a suitable paddock are provided with an incentive to refrain from grazing for five years.

During this time the site is revegetated using techniques such as individual planting of local provenance native tube stock, machine direct seeding, and hand sowing in the more steep and rocky sections. Once the trees are established, grazing can resume and

the trees provide habitat for native wildlife as well as shelter for stock.

Already the paddock around the towers is home to a range of small bush birds, eagles and an assortment of reptiles. Greening Australia’s bird expert Nicki Taws will include this new site in the Kosciuszko to Coast (K2C) bird survey which has been surveying birds across more than 20 properties each October and April for more than five years.

The data collected helps determine the health status of both the birds themselves and their required habitat.

Ken Bowerman, a local civil earthmoving contractor, says he enjoyed the challenge of preparing Cosgrove Hill for planting. He used an excavator with a ripper tine to navigate the sloping terrain, allowing him to spin around to dig numerous individual holes or rip several metres along a contour. Site preparation saves a huge amount of planting time and provides each tree with a much higher chance of survival as they have their own small catchment and are sown deep into the rip line to prevent drying out.

In the future Greening Australia will be returning to Cosgrove Hill Conservation Site to direct and hand seed the other mapped out areas.

Telstra, who operates the telco towers, has also offered to hold a community day for staff to continue the ongoing work on the site. The Whole of Paddock Rehabilitation program is funded by the Australian Federal Government.

SRSC Deputy Mayor re-elected Councillor Peter Beer has been re-elected to the position of Deputy Mayor for September 2015 to September 2016.

There were no other nominations for the role, making the decision an easy one for Council at the meeting last Tuesday in Berridale.

This is Deputy Mayor Beer’s second term in office with the Snowy River Shire Council.

Due to being

popularly elected by the voters at the last local government election, Mayor John Cahill need not partake in an annual mayoral election, and will remain mayor until the upcoming local government election next year. However this may change depending on the outcome of IPART’s amalgamation advice to be submitted to the Minister on 16 October.

Bridge closes for five days for repairs The Member for Monaro John Barilaro has reminded motorists of changed traffic conditions during October to complete the major upgrade of Dalgety Bridge across the Snowy River at Dalgety.

Mr Barilaro said the NSW Government has allocated $4.5 million to extend the life of the 132 year old bridge and preserve its heritage value.

“The Dalgety Bridge, known locally as Buckley’s Crossing, was built in 1883 and forms an important link for motorists on the Snowy River Way,” Mr Barilaro said.

“The bridge remains safe for road users but needs essential maintenance work to ensure it continues to serve the community into the future.

“The first closure took place in early May for work at the Jindabyne end of the bridge.

“From mid-October, motorists will be detoured around the bridge when it closes for work to replace

the Dalgety end of the bridge. Pedestrian access will remain in place during the bridge closure.

“The bridge will be closed between 5am on 15 October and 5am on Tuesday 20 October, weather permitting.”

Motorists should plan their trip, allow extra travel time and follow the direction of traffic control and all signs.

Motorists travelling between Jindabyne and Dalgety will be detoured via Berridale. Mini-buses will be operating between Dalgety and Jindabyne and Dalgety and Cooma, via Berridale.

After the October closure, work is scheduled to take place at night between Sunday and Thursday for about five weeks during which time there will be a heavy vehicle restriction on the bridge.

The community will be informed of work times and dates once they are determined.

ANNUAL WEEDSPRAYING UNDERWAY C o o m a - M o n a r o Shire Council has recommenced its annual weedspraying program on roadsides and reserves throughout the Shire.

While all precautions are taken to ensure public safety during its weedspraying activities, Council appreciates that some members of the public are particularly sensitive to herbicides and should be subject to special notification requirements.

Residents who are

genuinely sensitive to herbicides are encouraged to contact Council in writing for inclusion on Council’s “Sensitive Places” register. Council’s Pesticide Notification Plan can be found at www. cooma.nsw.gov.au. This plan details how and when Council notifies the public of pesticide usage on Council managed lands.

For further information contact Council’s Noxious Weed Management Service on 6455 1940.

THE GLEN MAINTENANCE WORKS The maintenance work required for the removal of filters on the blowers at the Glen Wastewater Facility was raised as a safety issue. New platforms have been installed making it much safer and easier for Council staff to carry out routine cleaning.

Living with hearing loss A public meeting to assist people who suffer hearing loss and feel that their hearing aids are not really helping them is to be held on October 8 at the U3A room in Sharp Street, Cooma at 1.30pm.

It is estimated that more than 20 percent of the adult population suffers from hearing loss and the number exceeds 50 percent for those over 65-years-of-age.

Meeting co-ordinator Ken Stanger, a mentor for the Cochlear Awareness Network, quotes reports from the Garvan Institute and Doctor William Vass of the John James Medical centre who remind people that hearing loss cannot be cured but a hearing device may help.

There are hundreds of different hearing aids available today and it is important that the right one is selected.

Patients need to be aware that using a hearing aid changes the sound of speech and may be unpleasant at first

ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE

until the brain adapts and the sound is accepted as normal speech.

For the profoundly deaf a cochlear implant may assist.

This device transmits sound directly into the auditory nerve via electrodes surgically implanted into the cochlear and once again, patients will need to learn how to integrate the electronic sounds produced by the implant with the help of lip-reading skills.

Doctor Vass also says that the patient needs to accept that he or she needs help and while the support and encouragement of family and friends is important it is up tp the patient to take control of the problem and be ready to do something about it.

Speakers at the meeting will include an audiologist from Australian Hearing who will answer questions from the audience.

Further information regarding the meeting may be obtained by phoning Ken on 6456 5312.

Daylight savings will remain in place until April 3, 2016.

Anyone who objects to daylight savings, or the length of time daylight savings is imposed on NSW, is encouraged to contact the Member for Monaro John Barilaro.

A renowned businessman, an Olympic mogul skier, a famous actor and a woman who has dedicated her life to helping others are the inaugural inductees into Jindabyne Central School’s (JCS) Hall of Fame.

Perisher Chief Operating Officer Peter Brulisauer, two-time Winter Olympian and owner of High Country Fitness Manuela Berchtold, award-winning singer and actor Tim Draxl and Snowy Relay for Life Chairperson Kirsten Farmer are the first members of JCS’s Hall of Fame.

The four are former Jindabyne Public School students and have been recognised to inspire current and future students to greatness.

Mr Brulisauer, Ms Berchtold and Ms Farmer attended JCS’s Celebrating Local Heroes assembly on Monday where they were inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Mr Draxl, a Logie Award nominee for Most Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series, sent his apologies as he was filming the Channel Seven series “A Place to Call Home”.

Mr Brulisauer, who attended Jindabyne Public School from Kindergarten to Year Six between 1981 and 1987, said he was truly honoured to be recognised.

He had a word of advice for JCS’s current students, including his own sons Tomas and Zac. “My advice to you is to set big goals, work towards them and most of all have fun,” he said.

Ms Berchtold, who prides herself on helping others achieve their fitness goals and runs a Future Olympian’s Scholarship program, told the 756 students crammed into the JCS gymnasium she loves Jindabyne and feels incredibly fortunate to have grown up in the town.

She said she had travelled the world through her sport but she still called Australia home.

“And I still want to call Jindabyne home,” Ms Berchtold told the students.

“I think you are at an advantage living in Jindabyne and living in the Snowy Mountains and having these amazing

“I have raised over $200,000 over the past 15 years in this tiny little town.

“We raise more money than some of the big towns and it shows what a wonderful, generous community we are.”

The JCS Hall of Fame was established as a collaboration between the school and the School Council to create a lasting

Ms Farmer has raised more than $200,000 for charities since she returned home to Jindabyne as an adult in 1997.

Even so, she said she couldn’t believe it when she was included in her former school’s Hall of Fame.

“It’s very humbling to be honoured in such a way,” she said.

tribute to those who have brought honour to themselves, the school, the Jindabyne community and the community in which they belong.

It is also hoped JCS can utilise the alumni to inspire current students to set goals and work hard to achieve them, realising that anything is possible.

Workers were underpaid A restaurant at Thredbo in the NSW Snowy Mountains has been caught short-changing its staff for the second time in less than a year.

In 2013, the Alfresco Pizzeria was randomly audited by the Fair Work Ombudsman’s regional services team as part of pro-active compliance activity to ensure seasonal Snowfields workers were receiving their minimum wages and entitlements.

The restaurant’s owner, local businessman Doug Edwards, was required to back-pay almost $23,000 to 22 employees.

Alfresco Pizzeria received a formal Letter of Caution from the Fair Work Ombudsman, putting the business on notice that future contraventions of federal workplace laws may result in enforcement action.

The restaurant was audited again in August last year to monitor its compliance.

Fair Work inspectors found that 10 employees were being paid flat rates of pay of between $11 and $28 an hour for all hours worked.

This was insufficient to cover their applicable penalty rates and casual loadings for evenings, weekends and public holidays.

The workers, as young as 15, 17 and 19, were collectively underpaid more than $3400 over three months from June 30 to September 30 last year.

Individual underpayments ranged from $23 to $674.

Given Alfresco Pizzeria was educated about its workplace obligations in 2013 and cautioned about the need for compliance, the Fair Work Ombudsman has taken a dim view of ongoing contraventions.

Fair Work Ombudsman Natalie James says Mr Edwards has been asked to sign an Enforceable Undertaking (EU) aimed at encouraging behavioural change.

The EU requires Alfresco Pizzeria and Mr Edwards to: • Reimburse all outstanding entitlements to the underpaid employees, • Engage an external accounting professional to audit the business’ workplace practices for August, 2015 and August 2016, • Place a workplace notice at the premises outlining the contraventions, • Send a written apology to the affected workers, • Register with the Fair Work Ombudsman’s online tool My Account

and demonstrate the ability to determine employee entitlements using the pay calculator, and • Implement systems and processes to ensure future compliance with workplace laws.

Enforceable Undertakings were introduced by legislation in 2009 and the Fair Work Ombudsman has been using them to achieve strong outcomes against companies that breach workplace laws without the need for civil court proceedings.

“We use Enforceable Undertakings where we have formed a view that a breach of the law has occurred, but where the employer has acknowledged this and accepted responsibility and agreed to co-operate and fix the problem,” Ms James said.

This case is a timely reminder to businesses in the Snowfields region of the need to ensure they take the time to understand and comply with the laws applicable to their workplace.

“We are committed to helping employers understand and comply with workplace laws, but operators need to make an effort to get the basics right in the first place,” Ms James said.

“We know workplace laws can be complicated for the uninitiated, and for those who are not industrial experts, but we ask small business to use the tools and resources that we provide for them and not just apply arbitrary rates that seem ‘about right’.”

Ms James says the Fair Work Ombudsman is making compliance easier for small business by continually building on the information available on its website.

Online tools include pay rate calculators to help employers determine the correct Award and minimum wages for employees and free templates for pay slips and timeand-wage-records.

Ms James encouraged employers who had any uncertainty about whether their workplace practices are appropriate to visit www.fairwork.gov. au or call the Small Business Helpline for advice on 13 13 94.

Overseas employers or employees from non-English speaking backgrounds can call 13 14 50 if they need interpreter services.

Mountains Grammar School will host their Kindergarten Information Evening for 2016 kindergarten starters.

This is an opportunity for the 2016 classroom teacher to share with parents the approaches that are taken in the first year of formal schooling.

It is also an opportunity to visit the learning space that is the Kindergarten/Year one classroom. Snowy Mountains Grammar School believe that the initial years of learning in formal education are critically important and can provide the platform for developing successful lifelong learners.

The art of teaching is put to the test in these early years when a teacher has to balance the benefits of play based learning with meeting the requirements of the more ‘formal’ elements of a curriculum.

Jindabyne Central School’s (JCS) Matthew Hansen has been crowned runnerup in the Premier’s Spelling Bee remote schools video conference final.

12-year-old Matthew challenged spelling champions from across the state in places as far away as Broken Hill, Quambone in central northern NSW and nearby Gwabegar and Tocumwal in the state’s south.

Of the 37 finalists in the video conference senior final, Matthew finished second to Millie Fisher from BourkeWalgett School of Distance Education.

It was the word “camaraderie” which eventually tripped JCS’s Year Six student, but not before a whopping eight rounds of spell-offs.

Millie will now travel from her western NSW home to the ABC Centre in Sydney in November for the state final of the Premier’s Spelling Bee. JCS was also represented by the school’s Year Five finalist Mia Byron, who successfully made it through to round five to have only six students continue on

The meeting was held at the Berridale Hall and I was very pleased to see that so many residents came along and want to be actively involved in our future.

The meeting was not about our general maintenance program but about our Road Improvement Program to address our infrastructure backlog and agree the acceptable road condition level that you, the community, are willing to accept.

As detailed in the presentation, Snowy River Shire is currently required to value the level of service for our roads as being a condition 2 standard, otherwise known as ‘good’. If the community is prepared to accept condition 3 standard then the impact on Councils budget will be reduced.

However, if we cannot agree on a condition standard then Council will be required to undertake a Road Improvement Program over the next 10 years to bring all our roads up to condition 2. Achieving this level within 10 years could be financially unsustainable for Council.

We have taken your comments on board including the feedback from the Roads Condition Survey.

This feedback contributes immensely in the planning process and is assisting Council in progressing our Fit for the Future (FFTF) improvement plan to ensure Council becomes sustainable by addressing our infrastructure backlogs.

Again, I thank everyone immensely for your contributions and participation. Once the information has been collated, it will be reported to Council to determine the outcome and way forward.

the

postman calls

Funding for roads in local government areas is a big issue.

Participants in last Saturday’s community meeting at Berridale heard just how expensive it is to maintain roads, let alone improve them.

One suggestion that was raised was that of a bed tax, so that visitors to the shire could also contribute to local government costs.

It reminded The Postman of the situation many years ago, when the shire had a pedestal tax…that is, property owners paid for the number of loos in their building.

It tested the honesty of some, however.

While some property owners paid up for a loo or two, sometimes, those unexpected housefires after a poor ski season revealed that many more ‘pedestals’ had been installed.

There may be more stringent development application requirements these days, so a bed tax could be the shot.

Or, the NPWS could pay rates on the land it controls. Or, some of the entry fees charged could be returned to council for the provision of services.

Speaking of loos, it is nice to see one at Nimmity’s RFS shed. As one brigade member said, they now have something to go on!

Stroke week thanks Editor, Thank you to all our supporters who took the challenge this National Stroke Week.

On behalf of the National Stroke Foundation I would like to thank the thousands of Australians who challenged stroke by living healthy, being aware and getting a health check throughout Stroke Week.

National Stroke Week is our annual campaign to shine the spotlight on stroke, raising awareness of the devastating impact of this insidious disease.

Stroke Week is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about stroke and how they can reduce their own risk. I am confident that there are thousands of people in the community who are more informed and can take control of their health after this week’s activities.

With Stroke Week coming to a close it is vital we remember strokes don’t just happen one week of the year. Every ten minutes an Australian has a stroke.

Every ten minutes someone’s life changes forever.

Stroke is scarily common in

Australia – it is a national health emergency. Last year alone Australians suffered 50,000 strokes.

What many people don’t know is that most strokes are preventable.

There are things we can all do to help protect ourselves, like being aware of and managing our blood pressure, maintaining a healthy diet, stopping smoking and heavy drinking, and exercising.

Thanks to our incredible supporters we were able to spread this message far and wide this Stroke Week, reaching a record number of Australians. But our work doesn’t stop here - it is our mission to ensure everyone understands what a stroke is and what they can do to avoid having one.

It will take the combined efforts of the community, health professionals and government to achieve this mission. I know together we can fight stroke and win.

A sunny entrance area leads you into two light and spacious bedrooms.

The larger of the two bedrooms has a full BIW. It even plays host to a hidden TV point so you will never miss that important footy game again!

The open plan living and dining area, heated by a natural gas imitation log fire place is complemented by fresh paint and beautifully polished timber floorboards throughout the home.

But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to look up or you may miss one of the homes most appealing features.

Each room is presented with 2.6m ceilings with different and intriguing ornate cornice which has been carefully restored to add character to the property.

A nice surprise at the front

of the home is a hidden room where your imagination can take over. Large privacy windows with newly tiled floor coverings could make the perfect office, sunroom or storage area to the home.

The back hallway gives access to a generous size renovated laundry and a new separate toilet close by.

As you enter the garden from the back entrance there is an undercover BBQ area leading out onto a large level backyard.

It is fully fenced with new secure gates, which will keep your pets at bay or a safe play area for the little ones.

A single car garage provides car accommodation although you may not need the car as everything is located within a short walk. The garage has been lined so another option could be to turn it into a separate sleep out or office.

This home is a great entry level into this popular area of Cooma.

Selling agents and buyers agents working together NSW Real Estate Institute

By Helen Hull In recent years there has been an increased awareness to the role buyers’ agents can play in a property transaction.

Rich Harvey, Managing Director of propertybuyer, said the main reason people are drawn to buyers’ agents is because they don’t have the time to search for properties themselves.

“In a very hot market, buyers are using everything they can to secure a property and the secret weapon is a buyers’ agent.

Engaging us saves same time, money and stress.”

Selling agents Mr Harvey said a selling agent’s job is to work for the vendor, promote the property, get the best price and ultimately sell the property. On the other side, the buyers’ agent is there to find the most ideal property and purchase it for the fairest price they can.

“It is a good marriage,” Mr Harvey said.

“Selling agents are the suppliers and we provide a qualified buyer.

According to Mr Harvey the value a buyers’ agent can bring to the transaction is immense.

“Critically we don’t waste a selling agent’s time, and in a lot of buyer’s minds selling agents are well down on the trust scale. We offer the benefit of being the trusted professional who works with them.

They really should be happy to work with

us, it makes sense.”

Buyers’ agents The buyers’ agent’s role is to demystify what can be a daunting process for people who don’t have the experience or knowledge of the property industry.

“We ask the buyers to be frank and upfront with us,” Mr Harvey said. “Which is the opposite of how they are with selling agents.

“If they can afford to go to a higher price we ask them to let us know. Buyers are always hoping they get a bargain well under their budget and, in particular in the Sydney market, they need to be realistic about what they will achieve.

“We won’t take on a client unless their brief is realistic and we will turn away a client if we can’t achieve a brief.”

Mr Harvey said buyers’ agents are a lot more prevalent in the luxury and prestige markets where 50 per cent of properties are sold off market because privacy and discretion is preserved.

“Despite this we still have clients seeking properties at either end of the scale with buyers wanting properties from $275,000 to $25 million.

“We sit down with the buyer and identify their budget. Often they don’t know what areas they can buy in with the funds they have. We help them create a buyer’s brief, with the features they are looking for which is very specific. We then send out buyer requests and look at on and off market properties. They are motivated and ready

to transact.

“A buyers’ agent is a professional; if they are a good agent, they know the values and won’t waste time with low ball offers.”

Mr Harvey said buyers’ agents assist with pest and building reports and the legal aspects of purchasing a property to make the process run as smooth as possible.

“The pest and building report is often a stumbling block to finalising the transaction. We ensure they get done very quickly and help nurse buyers through the findings.

“The exchange of contracts, the legal aspects, often take too long or buyers use the wrong solicitor. We recommend someone who only deals with conveyancing who can review the contract quickly, negotiate quickly and get it exchanged.

“We often get advance on off market opportunities, which means we can save agents a four-week marketing campaign, make an offer and move on it.

“Buyers agents can bring in unique buyers including expat, overseas buyers who may not have been marketed to by selling agents.

Mr Harvey said buyers’ agents can be a good source of repeat business.

“We give referrals to selling agents following a good experience. It is all about long-term relationships that work well. We are a repeat buyer and when the market goes soft, selling agents should be working all angles.

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

RATE DROP? There is current sentiment that interest rates are likely to drop at the next meeting of the Reserve Bank, and possibly further in the future.

What does that mean for you? Is now the time to fix your home loan, or do you wait for hopefully lower rates to come?

There is no easy answer, as everyone’s circumstance is different. I am happy to explain the implications of fixing rates, and give clients a comparison. I don’t have a crystal ball to be able to tell people what the future holds with interest rates, but can help them by knowing what things they need to consider.

It can also be a good time to get into the investment property market. Interest rates are low. Banks have some great special offers on.

If you have other financial needs, more suited to a financial adviser, I can arrange an appointment with an experienced financial adviser, Damian Toms, who can provide specialist advice.

For a free appointment to discuss your existing home loan, or future loan needs, please call me on my mobile 0431 351 873.

DPI trying to find tastier lamb In the quest to serve the tastiest lamb chops and roasts, a meat quality trial run by the Graham Centre, a partnership between the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) and Charles Sturt University (CSU) has taken lamb to the ultimate test – on the plate.

DPI researcher from the Cowra Agricultural Research and Advisory Station, Stephanie Fowler, said 64 volunteers were enlisted to taste test white dorper lamb loin cuts at the Wagga Wagga Agricultural Institute.

“Tasters tried nine random samples of lamb, which had been grown on five different fresh pastures, as we explore how diet affects dorper lamb meat quality,” Ms Fowler said.

“Our untrained panellists ranked each piece of lamb on a scale which rated tenderness, juiciness, flavour and how much they liked it overall.

“The trial is investigating how sheep producers may be able to improve eating quality for consumers and production values by fine-tuning lamb diets.

“All the lamb was tested in our Cowra laboratory to measure the impact of the different diets on carcase yields, tenderness, colour, pH

and moisture levels.

“Now we have sensory data from the tasting panel and it will be analysed and correlated with the laboratory results to work out how the various feed options affect eating experiences and key production targets.”

“We know that a diet of saltbush can affect the flavour of lamb and it will be interesting to see if our tasters could point to differences in flavour and tenderness.”

The trial aims to give producers information which they can use to improve eating quality and consumer satisfaction to better target taste buds and add value.

CSU whole farm management lecturer, Shawn McGrath, has conducted the livestock management aspects of the trial.

Sixty-two white dorper lambs grazed on bladder clover, hybrid kale, chicory and arrowleaf clover, lucerne and phalaris, and lucerne pastures at CSU Wagga Wagga.

Ms Fowler and Mr McGrath are working through the Graham Centre, a fertile alliance which brings together scientists from DPI and CSU to better deliver data farmers can use to address production and marketing issues.

National hay competition A Deniliquin hay grower has won a national award for producing the best lucerne crop in the country.

Dennis and Judy Gleeson won an Australian award along with the New South Wales title in the 2015 Feed Central National Hay Quality competition.

The awards recognise crops with the best visual appearance and best feed analysis.

The Gleesons were rewarded for having the best feed analysis test of any lucerne crop in Australia.

Other New South Wales producers have featured prominently in the awards which aim to promote good quality hay and recognise growing excellence.

Wayne Williams of Whitton was the NSW winner for the best visual appearance of a lucerne crop.

The best visual appearance cereal crop was grown by Peter J. Crettenden of Scotia while DJ Visscher of Jerilderie recorded the state’s best cereal feed analysis.

The best visual appearance vetch crop was grown by Leigh Chappell of Deniliquin and Tim Dowling of Mulwala won for the best vetch feed analysis.

The winners were announced during a pre-baling supply meeting for growers and contractors at the Feed Central Victorian office at Shepparton on September 18.

The best visual appearance hay resembled the colour of a $100 note, while high metabolisable energy (ME) and protein results led to a good feed test score.

The 2015 national competition attracted more than 1000 entries.

Hay listed with Feed Central in preparation for sale is inspected on-farm by a certified Feed Central inspector. All of this inspected hay is eligible for entry.

During the 2014-15 season, Feed Central inspected 250,000 tonnes of hay and straw nationally, ensuring winning lots are the best of a large pool of hay.

Feed Central Managing Director Tim Ford said the competition promotes the importance of good quality hay and recognises the excellent work of growers. “The awards are a way that we can recognise, encourage and reward growers for their efforts,” he said. “I believe the awards act as a benchmark of quality and will in time play a big role in growing the industry and improving the consistency of hay quality in Australia.”

“High quality hay means more money for a supplier and better outcomes for end users.”

Primary industries top priority for NSW schools Minister for Primary Industries, Lands and Water Niall Blair and Minister for Education Adrian Piccoli today announced the NSW Government has established a school programs team to increase the profile of agriculture, biosecurity and careers in schools.

The new program will put agriculture and biosecurity on the learning agenda for the State’s primary and secondary school students and is in response to a review into agricultural education and training by Professor Jim Pratley.

Mr Blair said it is important that students understand the primary industries sector, which contributes about $12 billion to the NSW economy each year.

“Educating students about the whole food and fibre value chain, from the pre-farm gate supply sector to post-farm gate processing and marketing, is an important initiative to build for the future of the state’s primary industries,” Mr Blair said.

“Importantly, the schools program is also helping students consider a future career in agriculture; whether it be as a vet, a farm manager, a plant pathologist or marine biologist, the sector has so many opportunities on offer.” Mr Piccoli said three education officers have been appointed under this program and are all former school teachers, who bring with them a wealth of experience in

education and primary industries.

“The schools program has adopted the theme that safe food starts in the paddock and ends on your plate. This is an important message that we need to deliver to our future generation,” Mr Piccoli said.

“As part of this program, NSW school students will be able to participate in a range of competitions, to ensure students gain an understanding of biosecurity in NSW through the development of a school farm biosecurity plan and investigating fire ants.”

The education officers, Michelle Fifield and Jess Fedorow based at Orange and Jo Hathway at Tocal, are developing high-quality teaching material and professional development opportunities for NSW teachers.

The ‘Investigate – fire ants’ competition is currently open to all stage three students and uses their science and technology skills to investigate whether Fire Ants are in their school.

The pilot program for secondary school students on biosecurity planning in schools is being run in association with The Archibull Prize.

Beefspecs bolsters beef industry Minister for Primary Industries Niall Blair has launched an innovative new tool to help beef producers predict retail yields and increase profitability during a visit

to Glen Innes “This tool is a great example of the fantastic work by the Department of Primary Industries to really help farmers meet market specification in their beef,” Mr Blair said.

“This new technology brings beef cattle production into the 21st century, changing the way producers assess their cattle and make management decisions “It’s a wonderful use of practical technology help farmers increase profitability, minimise losses and plan for the future and I congratulate everyone involved for all their innovation and hard work.”

Member for Northern Tablelands, Adam Marshall said: “This technology is a great example of the skills we have up in the Northern Tablelands and fantastic news for our local beef producers.”

Beefspecs was developed by the NSW Department of Primary Industries in partnership with the University of New England and Meat and Livestock Australia.

It uses a number of measurements as well as ground breaking 3D camera technology, with the cameras also

providing a reliable estimate of muscle score.

Highly skilled Local Land Services staff also contributed their expertise in cattle assessment to assist in the 3D image development.

The 3D camera technology will increase the accuracy of estimating fat and muscle scores that can be entered into BeefSpecs to predict the best market options, improve compliance rates and the returns per kilogram produced.

BeefSpecs combines the predictive powers of animal growth and body compositional models of empty body weight changes at all stages from birth to maturing to determine fat specifications.

BeefSpecs will increase profitability for the State’s beef industry, with non-compliance to market specifications significantly reducing carcass value on average from $34 to $67 per carcass.

Above average August rainfall for NSW Average or above average August rainfall across most of the state has seen satisfactory start to spring for the Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary producers.

Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Seasonal Conditions Coordinator Ian McGowen said seasonal conditions have improved with areas of the Riverina, southern and south eastern NSW receiving above average rainfall in August. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Below average rainfall was confined to the northern central west and north west, areas of the mid-north coast and the far south west,â&#x20AC;? Mr McGowen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Relative to historical records, pasture growth was average to above average across most of NSW, with pasture growth maintained in the south and in coastal areas, and improved in the Riverina and southern central west. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Supplementary feeding has ceased in many areas, although it remained necessary

in some areas of the tablelands, eastern Riverina and coast due to slow pasture growth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rainfall during August maintained or improved winter crop prospects in most areas, but further rainfall in late September to early-mid October will ensure good conditions for grain fill.â&#x20AC;?

Mr McGowen said early sown crops are well advanced, although not as advanced as last year, but late sown crops have been slow to develop, and frost still remains a risk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crop growth and yield potential for cereals and canola are generally average to above average across most of the southern and central areas. In some areas of the far south west, the far western Riverina and the western margins of the central west yields will be reliant on follow up rainfall,â&#x20AC;? Mr McGowen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crop growth and yield potential is also generally good across the north west to

the east of the Newell Highway, but is lower in the west due to very late sowing and limited subsoil moisture. Yields in this area are dependent upon good follow up rainfall occurring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dual purpose winter crops and forage crops have been providing good production, particularly on the tablelands and slopes, but have now been locked up for grain recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the current strong El NiĂąo event has a greater influence on rainfall and frost incidence during the remainder of September and early-mid October, crop yields may not reach their full potential. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fortunately, warm sea surface temperatures in the eastern Indian Ocean have provided sources of moisture that have mitigated the effects of the El NiĂąo to date. If this pattern continues through spring, above average winter crop yields and pasture growth are expected in most areas.â&#x20AC;?

Despite a small national offering and more weakness in the Aussie dollar the market failed to respond. Prices fell on opening by up to 15 cents before staging a minor recovery on the final day to leave the EMI down 6 cents for the week. Better style Superfine types were well supported at the designated Sydney Superfine sale with AWEX reporting that the more stylish lots were attracting strong premiums. 30,238 bales were sold nationally for the week with the passed in rate at 8.7%. Major buyers included Techwool, Lempriere & Fox and Lillie. In ABAREâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent quarterly forecast they have revised down their prediction of the average for the EMI during the 2015/16 season to 1200

cents. This is 30 cents less than their last forecast and with the current season to date averaging well above their new forecast it implies they are expecting further weakness in the market. For the second week in a row the forward market has resembled a ghost town with a large gap between the buyer and grower. The EMI closing at 1228 this week leaves it just a few cents higher than the low point of the season. Hopefully support is forthcoming at this level.

Next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sale 41,240 bales are expected to be on offer nationally with 11,913 in Sydney.

Schute Bell, Wool Auctions, Goddard & Monaro Wool are selling on Wednesday the 30th of September.

Snowlinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Russian Adventure

Packing is complete and we are taken to the airport for our flight to Prague, owing to the traffic on most days a considerable amount of time is allowed but on this occasion it only took us 20 minutes so lots of waiting.

Barb, Anne, Heather and myself went for a walk around the airport and when we went to go back to Bruce and Dave we were not allowed through that section, even though we had previously been there (this was one of the very few officious Russians we came across).

Our flight to Prague was uneventful and we stopped at Karlovy Vary on our way letting about 120 off the flight and the remaining 14 were then flown another 20 minutes to Prague. It seemed really strange to have so few on a plane, Prior to leaving Australia we had organised a trip to Cesky Krumlov.

The town and castleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s construction commenced in the late 13th century.

The core of the old town is within a horseshoe. This time we arrived through a different gate so arrival was not as dramatic.

Prem, our guide, took us to a fabulous restaurant where we enjoyed a delicious lunch. Anne, Dave and I eventually found the gate where we entered three years ago and it was still dramatic. Barb climbed the steps to the top of the wall and took some amazing photos.

Tuesday we meet up with the rest of the group enjoying a Prague stopover.

The Prague Castle stands above the city and its construction stretches back to the year 870 (amazing).

A fire in 1541 destroyed large parts of the castle. Last major rebuilding was in the 18th Century.

The castle buildings represent virtually every architectural style of the last millennium. A delicious slice of apple strudel was enjoyed in a restaurant while overlooking the city. After meandering down through a vineyard we had an obligatory shot glass of plum brandy and

TRANSPORT

then made our way to Charles Bridge.

Along the way lots of interesting features were pointed out including a very narrow lane for pedestrians only, which actually had traffic lights on it!

Water marks for the floods in 2012, the highest in history, metres above the banks of the river, imagine the damage.

Charles Bridge was commenced in 1357 under the auspices of King Charles IV. Amazingly this is only a walking bridge even though it is 10m wide.

the world and running into people who grew up with Kevin and Maree Dunne in Sydney amazing.

Our excursion to Cesky was so successful we organised another one for a free day. This time we are off to Karlovy Vary (Calsbad), famous for its hot springs and also the filming of James Bond Casino Royale.

Many Russians have holiday homes here which the locals are not too keen on. Also the Moser Crystal factory/showroom is here, needed a mortgage for purchases. A tour of

Lace factory in Plauen.

At 621m it connects the Prague Castle to the old town, 16 arches under the walkway and 30 statues along the precinct and in peak tourist times you could easily lose your group.

The old town area is a labyrinth of streets and you can quite easily take the wrong side street. Shops, shops and more shops and they have some beautiful products.

In the afternoon many enjoyed a tour to breweries travelling via tram and the underground.

Our evening meal was back at the castle with local music being played to entertain us. Imagine being this far on the other side of

A scenic view of Prague. the factory was enlightening. Approximately 30 glass blowers some blowing glasses others vases, five to a team, including women. Ten year apprenticeship. Only about 30 per cent of items make the sale room, rest are remelted. What was amazing to us was the footwear (or lack of) no protective clothing and the fact that we were allowed to wonder so close to the craftsmen and the raging furnaces. This is the top of Czech crystal and we could see why.

Onward ever onward and now we are making our way to Plauen, in Germany, to see the history of lace, what an eye opener

31

this was. The little factory seemed, to me, to be in backstreets.

We went in and of course we have a language barrier!

No problem to them, eventually they find a lovely lady who speaks English. Some of the machines were close to 300 years old and still working today, absolutely amazing. We were told about one manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision, changing needles for machine use, making stencils which later became hole punch cards, how the hole punch cards were made.

Cotton reels were too heavy so another machine was designed to spin the cotton into small, almost silkworm pupa like. Making the lace on fine material which was later dissolved away. How even today they join the pieces of lace together with a treadle like sewing machine.

I can easily say this was one of the most magnificent things I saw while away. And the finished products!!

What a shame they did not take the plastic fantastic, or maybe that was a good thing!

Thursday and we have quite a bit of time to fill in before being transferred to the airport for our flight to Singapore.

Arriving in Singapore late afternoon it is pouring rain. The York Hotel greets us and a swim after tea was almost like being in bath water it was so warm.

Saturday rolls around and after a leisurely day for me by the swimming pool, Barb, Bruce and Heather went to Raffles for a Singapore Sling (nearly needed a loan to afford the drink).

Our transfer to the airport for an overnight flight back to Sydney. A coach back to Canberra and John is there to take us home to Cooma. Another adventure successfully completed.

Adaminaby bowls presentation day 2015 Adaminaby Men’s and Women’s Bowling Clubs combined for their annual Presentation Day that was recently held at the Adaminaby Bowling and Sports Club.

The afternoon started with a great lunch followed by the presentation of club championships and then out for a roll-up on the green, until the rain set in.

Members of the 2015 Grade 2 Pennants team, who played in the State Championships at Nowra in August, were presented with certificates.

The team was L McMahon, L Waters, L Theobald, G Daal, A Madden, C McMahon, P

Brayshaw, N MacDonald and N Barnes.

Good luck to Lyn McMahon, who will be travelling to Tuncurry late October for the State Championships, after winning District and then Regional playoffs in singles.

Results of the 2015 Championships: MEN’S CHAMPIONS Fours – D Russell, T Sutton, S Harriden, G Morris Triples – T Foley, E Potter, J Russell Pairs – S Harriden, G Morris Minor Singles – J Ruzic Major Singles – E Potter Mixed Pairs – L McMahon, E Potter Hangover under construction award – J Ruzic WOMEN’S CHAMPIONS Fours – G Daal, A Butters, C McMahon, L McMahon Triples – P Brayshaw, C McMahon, A Ranta Pairs – A Ranta, G Daal Singles – A Madden Encouragement Award – T Clarke (at the age of 11, the district’s youngest registered player) Etiquette Award – N Barnes Achievement Award – L McMahon

Bronze medal for Jack in Judo More than 300 competitors from all over Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific were entered in the Sydney Open International Judo Tournament which was held at the Olympic Sports Centre at Homebush.

Shelley and Jack Kleven both competed in their respective divisions for the ACT. Shelley won her first bout convincingly against a NSW player and looked to be in good form. Unfortunately she let herself down in her next two bouts to be knocked out of the comp.

Jack was up against a New Caledonian player first up. Both players were evenly matched in a tight contest. Jack made some good throws but his agile opponent somehow managed to avoid falling to his back which stopped Jack from scoring. His opponent however managed a couple of scrappy throws that

landed Jack to his side giving his opponent valuable points.

The bout went for the full three minutes with Jack losing the close battle. From then on Jack won his next few bouts giving him the bronze medal for the tournament.

This was the last big tournament for the year leaving the ACT State Club Championships next month and some smaller club competitions before the end of the year. The Cooma Club should be well represented with a number of new players now graded for competition.

Come and try judo it is a great sport for fitness, strength, agility and coordination. We train on Monday evenings from 5:15 to 6:30 pm for juniors and 6:30 to 8pm for seniors.

The cooma football club would like to invite family and friends of players along for a fun night out.

Don Jarvis Shield decided Last week your correspondent sent the wrong information for publication regarding play in Club Triples so please take note of the following and check the Notice Board at the Club.

On Saturday October 17 matches are; (Skips Name only), Game (1) P.Cannell v M.Storta. (2) R.Nichols v M.Buckley. Sunday October 18 9.30 am Winner Game (1) v C.Roberson. Winner (2) v J.Schoon. I.Mondello v M.Mannile. D.Jarvis v K.Weston.

1pm Semi-finals. Saturday October 24 1pm Final.

Eight men turned up for bowls last Wednesday, the ladies were busy “keeping the home fires burning”.

Max Povey and Ron Wainwright ran into an in-form Peter Harris and Mick Mayhew and were trailing 4/11 but recovered to 9/11 only to drop nine shots to one over five ends and go down 10.20.

In a game in which there were 13 one shot ends Bob Douglass and Geoff Venables were in front until end 16 against Keith Goodwin and Paul Cannell where the scores were locked up 13/13. Bob and Geoff ran out winners 16/15.

Double Wednesday’s attendance for Social Bowls on Saturday including four women. with players alternating playing position each seven ends.

Max Povey, Sergio Roncelli and Geoff Venables hit the front early against Keith Goodwin, Terry George and Renate Winckel, although the scores were 6/6 on end seven at the first change with Max, Sergio and Geoff going ahead to 14/10 after 14.

Keith, Terry and Renate fared a little better over the final seven but went down 15/17. Mario Frezza, Bob Douglass and Mark Buckley were leading Ken Rees, Dawn Russell and Denis Steinfort 12/2 at the first change after seven ends.

Ken, Dawn and Denis didn’t score a shot over the next seven ends and the match was called off after 20 ends with a score line too embarrassing to publish. In the final game, we welcomed Robin Staples from Bowral, who partnered Olga Jebbink in a game of pairs against Wendy King and Daphne Buckley.

The latter pair were leading 8/3 after six ends but then lost six ends in a row to trail 8/17. Wendy and Daphne recovered to be 21/21 on 20 and from there to the end it was shot for shot giving Wendy and Daphne a narrow 24/23 win.

Sunday Moning at 9.30am the first match in

Ladies minor singles commence The first round of the minor singes commenced ion September 22.

Margaret Power was up against Hazel Walker with Hzel getting off to a fling start, leading by 11 shots to one on the eighth end. She continued her sound form throughout the game with a winning score of 25 to 10.

Dawn Russell played against and nd in-form Una Roberson with eth h score being 14 shots to four on end 10. Una continued her good form to in the game 25 to 5.

There was one social match with Wendy King, Judy Lockerr and Leonie Snell playing Mary ry Obermaier, Rulie Steinfort and Maureen D’Amico.

Don Jarvis Shield started with Peter Harris, Kevin Jackson, Richard Nichols and Mark Buckley playing Bob Douglass, Alan Crowe, Steve Lapham and Geoff Venables.

Mark’s team made the best start and had a handy 9/5 lead after nine ends. Although dropping three shots on end 11, Geoff’s team was right in the match at 10/12 on 14. From that point Peter, Kevin, Richard and Mark took charge and ran out winners 21/11.

In the afternoon final in which Mark’s team was opposed by Sergio Roncelli, Mario Frezza, John Vincent and Giulio D’Amico, Mark’s team scored five shots on the first end which stirred Giulio and his mates as they won four of the next five ends to lead 14/7.

Although Mark’s team won the end count 8/6 over the remaining ends the shot score favoured Sergio, Mario, John and Giulio, 13/12 to give them victory 27/19 and the right to have their names on the Shield for this year.

For Social Bowls on Sunday we welcomed visitors Jake and Nicole Barnes who teamed up with Darren Collins to play Bruce McDirmott (another Visitor) Ron Wainwright and Paul Cannell. Up to end six it was any one’s game with Nicole and Company having a slight 9/7 advantage, however in scoring five shots on seven they had a handy lead which did not last long as they were kept on 14 for six ends whilst Paul’s team gained a 15/14 lead.

Five shots to Nicole and friends put them back in front where they remained to win 24/20. Wayne Flynn, Jack Sajina and Daphne Buckley were in front 10/8 on end 11 against John Barnes, Mary Murphy and Renate Winckel with the latter trio kept on that score for a further four ends which allowed Wayne, Jack and Daphne to gain a handy 16/8 advantage and go on to win 26/13.

Excellent scores posted Cooma Golf report by Terry Johnston We had a fabulous week of golf at Cooma Golf Club last week and a cold and miserable few days in the Snowy Mountains for golf this week.

The beautiful spring weather just vanished and left the golf course with very small fields of players on the ever improving greens after their annual renovation and coring.

Saturday September 26, saw a Single Stableford for the men played and Terry Johnston took out A grade with the best round he has played in the last year a very solid 42 points and the round of the day, second spot went to David Goggin with a fine round of 38 points.

B grade was won by Vic Carroll with another good round of 39 points from the very hot player at this time Gary Batten who had 38 points, C grade went to Lindsay Blewitt (pictured below) who has not seen the winners circle for a while with a round of 37 points while the second spot went to Dieter (Tiger) Seubert with 36 points on a count back from Greg Abraham also with 36 points.

The ball comp paid down to Daryl Hagger, a visitor from Port Macquarie with 34 points.

In the long drive department A grade went to David Goggin, B grade went to Vic Carroll and C grade was taken out by the big hitting Lindsay Blewitt.

The nearest the pin on the ninth hole went to Heikki Evans with a sensational shot just 50cm from the hole which gave him an easy

putt for his birdie, on the 17th it was a similar story with Sam Patricks knocking it to 200cm from the hole and also canning the putt for a birdie.

On Sunday September 27 there was a field of only 24 players take to the course on a beautiful sunny day to play a Single Stableford competition with Steve Young shooting a good round to record 42 points and a fine win from the second place man Gary Batten who has been on fire over the last couple of weeks and had 40 points to take home the prize. The nearest the pin on the ninth hole went to Terry Johnston with a good shot to seven metres and on the 17th hole it went to “who else but” Gary Batten who put his shot seven and a half metres from the hole.

The ball comp paid down to Jenny O’Byrne with a 35 points.

W e d n e s d a y September 23 we saw a Single Stableford Medley played on the coldest and windiest day we have seen for some time out on the course.

The temperature in the mid afternoon was down to just 3.4 degrees and with the wind chill factor it was down to minus 4.7.

Consequently a field of just nine brave and hardy men went out and did battle with Gary Batten doing the best on the day with a great round in the conditions to take out the competition with 37 points closely followed

by Norman Marshall with 36 points. Ball winners went down to Tony Monday with 28 points.

There were no nearest the pins on offer due to the very small field.

Next weekend on Saturday is the Monthly Medal a stroke event for the men and the women are also playing a stroke competition which is the Women’s Association Medal Stroke, on Sunday is a Single Stableford Medley for both the men and women. So let’s hope the weather is as good as it was this weekend so we can expect a good field of players on both days.

See you on the greens very soon and remember visitors to our region are always welcome to come and join us in our competitions or just for a social game of golf at Cooma Golf Club anytime they choose.

Local shooter Dann Suthern has recently returned from representing Australia at the National Rifle Association of America National titles.

Dann and two other shooters, Dave True and Daniel Ison contested the four day event championships at Ridgeway, Pennsylvania.

Dann placed fourth in master grade and seventh overall and in about 11th place overall in the hunting rifle event.

The men contested smallbore rifle and smallbore hunting rifle silhouette over four days.

The Australian team placed second in the teams event in smallbore hunting rifle. They then moved to the high power and high power hunting rifle event over another three days.

About 180 shooters contested the NRA

national titles.

Dann’s skills will be put to the test again this weekend when the Berridale Club hosts the National Rifle Metallic Silhouette titles at the range at Coolamatong.

The titles will be contested over five days, beginning on Friday.

About 60 to 70 shooters are expected to compete, from all states of Australia.

Events include air rifle, rimfire, centrefire, hunting rifle and black powder cartridge rifle.

This is a selection shoot, so those successful could be chosen to represent Australia.

In a month’s time, the club will hold the State titles at the same range.

Spectators are welcome to come and watch.
