Press Association has little independent representation so for a couple of the ‘little guys’ to win up an award is good going.” “With so much newspaper and advertising being moved away from our country centres, it speaks volumes for the independents looking after their communities from within those communities. “We have a clever production team and a very proactive advertising team - both of whom are accessible to our clients right here in Cooma. “Our editorial staff, who are also our photographic, staff are locals and sympathetic to local issues. “Thirty years ago, I won the EC Sommerlad Award for Journalism, as the sole journalist working on the Jindabyne and Snowy Mountains News.

They came to help

During last week’s bushfire emergency, fire crews from Cooma and Jindabyne travelled to Mittagong to assist with fire control. While they were away the ACT Fire Services deployed teams to Cooma to fill in, in case of an emergency in the region. Pictured, the first ACT crew to Cooma, with Cooma’s deputy fire captain Mark Herbert.

Cooma’s LEP becomes law Cooma-Monaro Shire Council’s new Local Environmental Plan (LEP) has been authorised by the Minister of Planning and Infrastructure, and came into force on Friday, October 25. “Councillors have been involved with the preparation of the new LEP every step of the way, so it is very pleasing to see a result for this hard work after such a long period of time.” Deputy Mayor Bronnie Taylor stated. “It is a real eye-opener to see how much work goes into the preparation and finalisation of something like this, and our planning staff have led us through this very well”. Council’s Planning staff will examine the new LEP, to see how many of Council’s recommended changes were incorporated following recommendations made to the

NSW Department of Planning and Infrastructure, following the public exhibition period. “Council received some very good submissions through the exhibition period, and following consideration of the issues raised, we made recommendations to the NSW Government for several changes to the exhibited draft” Cr Taylor said.“We have not yet had the opportunity of working out whether any or all of our requested changes have been included” she added, “but this will happen fairly soon”. It is expected that the full version of the LEP, including the mapping series, will be available on the NSW Legislation website and Council’s website within the next few days.

Emergency services report A woman in her 60’s was in a single vehicle accident last Friday at 11.30am when she lost control of her car just north of Bredbo and drove into a fence. Police, ambulance officers and fire rescue attended the accident and the woman was taken to Canberra hospital with back injuries. Last Sunday another RFS strike team was deployed from the Monaro comprised of fire fighters from Numeralla, Jindabyne, Collinton, Michelago and Cooma. The team will be deployed in the area of the Blue Mountains and will continue to mop up and black out. Cooma Fire Rescue had 14 members partaking in the Relay for Life over the weekend.

Cooma Police are investigating an alleged assault at the Bredbo Inn over the weekend. It is alleged a 33-year-old male spat on the victim. Over the weekend, a 14-year-old male was issued with an infringement notice for not wearing a bicycle helmet. Police report a fake ID was detected being used by a patron of a local hotel. On Sunday, a 17-year-old female was issued with a mid-range PCA infringement when stopped by police in Vale Street, Cooma. Two males were caught trespassing on the Percy’s Newsagency building site on October 26 and issued with move-on orders.

Last Friday, twenty year 7 students from St Patrick’s Parish School Cooma were rewarded with an excursion down the coast to the Bournda Environmental Education Centre (EEC). The visit was a prize awarded to Gabrielle Steiner for her winning submission to the Cooma-Monaro Shire Council resource and waste calendar competition.

National Water Week was celebrated last week from 20-26 October. Water week is held annually throughout Australia and is dedicated to raise community awareness about current and future water issues faced by the community. It encourages community members to take action to protect our precious water sources. The theme for 2013 is ‘Liveable Communities’ and aimed to help members of the community of all ages to understand and take action to protect and preserve our water resources. All Australians are encouraged to ‘Protect, Conserve & Get Involved’, in water resource management. Council Officers attended local schools and held some presentations, educating children how to save water, how to measure water usage as well as water education generally. Children weregiven measuring devices and booklets which had been provided from the Save Water Alliance of which Council is a member. Communities need to be looking towards sustainable solutions for managing water resources and by educating our younger generation, it is hoped that water resources for future generations will remain sufficient to sustain their needs.

Dedicated nursing staff at Cooma hospital Cooma Hospital is full of hardworking, dedicated staff who work tirelessly, to provide care to the community. These people save lives, promote a healthy community and go above and beyond to provide a safe and a high standard of patient care. One of these people is Janice Rumph who is currently working in Cooma as Cooma Community Health Manager relieving staff, who have taken leave. Ms Rumph has almost 40 years in the nursing field and is currently working in management. She completed her studies at Charles Sturt University where she received a Bachelor of Health Science then went onto training in Bega and Cessnock. After that she worked in Bombala as a nurse specialist in primary health care, then later became Deputy Nurse Manager of Delegate and Bombala multipurpose services. Over the past 6 months Janice has been relieving Julie Spring as the Cooma Community Health Manager and over the next 8 weeks she will relieve Denise Green’s position as Deputy Nurse Manager of Cooma. After that she will return to her job as Deputy Nurse Manager of Delegate and Bombala multipurpose services. “In my usual job I had existing strong connections with Cooma staff and so it was easy for me to slip into these jobs,” Ms Rumph said. “It’s been fantastic working in Cooma as it has allowed me to broaden my horizons, experience different challenges and work with a very experienced team. I have learnt things that I will be able to take back to my job in Bombala and Delegate. “I have learnt the different ways that health services are managed and how a patient experiences a continuum of care. It has been really rewarding to see that and to contribute to it.” Janice’s job consists of overseeing the nurses who provide a variety of services in the region of Bombala and Delegate. The two towns together have a total of 31 beds and cater for a variety of patients from aged care to acute patients. When asked what she thinks of the condition of the health system at the moment she said that there is always room for improvement, however “the staff in our region strive to give patients a positive experience from E.D into the ward with the resources that we are given”. “Cooma Hospital is working towards meeting National Standards with patient

care,” she explained. Ms Rumph says that her job is very rewarding and she has a love for working in health. “I love working in health in a rural area providing a variety of health services to the community. It’s easy to relate to country people and build a connection with the patients and with your fellow staff,” she said. A n o t h e r dedicated nurse from Cooma Hospital is Sharon Bennett who is currently working as the Nurse Unit Manager on A level ward. This is a pilot position for six months. Ms Bennett has been working in the nursing field for 22 years and attended S y d n e y University where she completed a Bachelor of Applied Nursing. Ms Bennett has worked in Cooma Hospital since 2006 and prior to that she worked in other hospitals such as St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney and Nepean Hospital in the Blue Mountains. She has worked in managing roles before but has also worked as a nurse in the Intensive Care Unit and a general ward nurse in aged care. This is however her first time working in a rural hospital and she says she would never go back to the city. “I enjoy working in a rural hospital more as the care provided is on a more personal level. There is a strong feeling of community that you just don’t get in larger hospitals.” Ms Bennett moved to Jindabyne with her family in 2006 from the Blue Mountains and had originally planned to work here for the ski season and take a break from work and travel. However by spring she had begun work at Cooma Hospital and her and her family are now here for the long haul. In her role as Nurse Unit Manager, Ms Bennett is responsible for overseeing

the nurses and patients on her ward as well as rostering her staff. She overseas a range of patients in A-ward, including medical, surgical, aged, palliative care, paediatrics, oncology and many more. The trial of the Nurse Unit Manager position is to attempt to take some of the load off the Deputy Nurse Manager as well as give more direct clinical guidance to the nursing staff on the ward. “I want to focus on our basic care and meeting our accreditation standards across clinical care domains,” said Ms Bennett. Ms Bennett has a strong background in developing quality improvement programs in her time working in ICU as well as in the clinical redesign unit at Nepean. What she considers as being her biggest achievement at Cooma Hospital is being responsible for setting up the transitional aged care program in 2011. This 12 week program is community based and was set up to ensure that there were guidelines in place in order to ensure aged care patients can get back to normal functioning after being in hospital. Ms Bennett is also working on a falls trial at the moment, which is a new procedure in place to prevent falls and harm from falls in patients. She is also working on a stroke pathway, which is a guideline for anyone who comes into the ward after suffering from a stroke. Ms Bennett says that the best part of her job is offering support to nurses and problem solving any challenges that may arise. “It’s very rewarding when you have a complicated patient and you are able to work towards getting them home and healthy again,” she said.

The region on show at Canberra Home and Leisure Show

The Snowy Mountains region, including Cooma, was represented at last weekend’s Home and Leisure Show in Canberra. Representatives from Tourism Snowy Mountains, Cooma Visitors Centre and individual businesses manned stalls for three days to ‘sell’ the region. Pictured on this page, representatives from Cooma, Thredbo, Jindabyne, Lake Eucumbene and Buckenderra hard at work.

Dogs and Public Places Explained Several residents have recently highlighted to Council the potential issues in having unrestrained or uncontrolled dogs in public places, including Centennial Park during the monthly Rotary Markets, and other functions. Dogs have actually been prohibited from the park for several years, and signs are erected to specify this and other prohibitions in the park area. The prohibition of dogs is not to penalise responsible dog ownership, but to ensure that the enjoyment of our beautiful park for residents, visitors, and market stall holders, is not compromised by someone stepping in “dog-doo� or even worse, if a dog was to become aggressive and disruptive to community functions. Cooma Rotary and others have been proactive in this regard by advising their stall holders that dogs are not permitted in the park area, and Council Rangers will periodically attend the markets to ensure dog owners are observing these requirements. The NSW Companion Animals Act also prohibits dogs from being in specified areas, including children’s play areas and food preparation areas. There are, of course, exemptions from some of the requirements for people with assistance animals, and Council can temporarily set aside the prohibition within reason, for example, for nationally recognised events such as the RSPCA “thousand paws walk�. All dog owners are reminded that they have a legal responsibility to ensure their animals are microchipped, registered, and that they are kept on a lead or leash while in a public place. So many incidents involving dogs can be avoided by observing those very basic requirements. Council’s website can be accessed for reference and information resources on the requirements for keeping companion animals, and staff are more than happy to answer inquiries on these and other pet or animal requirements. Centennial Park is a showcase for our town and region, and is historically significant with the mosaic timewalk, and of course the avenue of flags representing the countries of the original Snowy Scheme employees. The festive nature of the markets and displays, and the family-friendly atmosphere of the community parks and its surrounds should not be jeopardised due to the non-observance of these community-set standards.

postman calls

Where will it all end? Once upon a time we had local post offices which sold us stamps, allowed limited banking, gave us important forms and most importantly, took and delivered our mail. In recent years, our POs have become stationers, book sellers, banks, electricity payment centres, confectioners and oh, that’s right, they also sell stamps and take and deliver our mail. Now, it seems, the Federal Government wants POs to take over Centrelink services as well. It is not very long ago that Centrelink took over Medicare services, so that means, if that happens, the Australian Post Office will just about cover every other service known to mankind. One wonders if they will still have time to sell stamps and deliver the mail? Cutting costs is one thing, but surely there is a reason why we had separate post offices, Centrelink offices and Medicare offices in the first place? The job descriptions for the staff would certainly differ. Bureaucrats! Some old faces popped back to Cooma last weekend to celebrate Cooma Rotary Club’s 60th anniversary. There were a few notable exceptions, who couldn’t get back to Cooma, but the anniversary dinner was enjoyed by all. Thanks for the seats, too, Rotary! With so much happening this weekend, anyone who can’t find something to do to entertain themselves simply isn’t trying. The Postman is looking forward to strolling around town listening to buskers, checking out all the chrome and polish at the MotorFest and listening to the burble of thousands of motor bikes involved in the Snowy Ride.

Fishy tales corrected Editor, I would like to draw your attention to the article “Snowy Mountains Festival” which appears in the latest edition of The Snowy Times, Spring 2013 and photo which refers to the ‘founder of the Adaminaby Trout Festival”. I would like to refute that comment as in fact the first Adaminaby Trout Festival was co-ordinated by the then Adaminaby and District Progress Association. The first Adaminaby Trout Festival commence on November 3, 1973, the same day as the then NSW Minister foe Lands, Mr Tom Lewis, officially opened the Adaminaby Loins Picnic park which featured the world’s largest trout sculpture, by Andi Lomnici. The creation of the trout and the picnic park were projects of the Lions Club. On that day also, Mr Lewis proclaimed Adaminaby the “Trout

Riposte Lisa Ashurst So what is it about a newly-dug bit of earth that makes a chook think “Oh my god, I just have to scratch right there!” Seriously, what is the attraction? I love my chooks and so allow them a lot of liberties but I have to draw the line when it comes to freshly planted seedlings. I’ve become pretty sneaky over the years and these days can disguise new plantings pretty well but it’s amazing how quickly a chook can spot a centimetre of disturbed earth, even from a great distance and even more amazing is how fast a plump little body can move once it’s zeroed in on it and inevitable the new plant gets chucked to the sidelines in the scratching frenzy. Sure, I could keep the chooks permanently penned but I believe in allowing them to free range and they are much happier and more eggproductive as a result so I do things like putting in new plants etc, once I’ve penned them for the evening and by the time they are let out again in the morning the new plants have had a whole night to settle in and the soil around them looks just a little less

Capital of Australia”. The Adaminaby Fishing Club organised the fishing competition. I was involved to some extent in that first festival, in view of the fact that not only was I president of the progress Association but also president of both the Adaminaby Lions Club and Adaminaby Fishing Club. The Progress Association coordinated the festival events by way of contacting various organisations to run various events and also handled the publicity. Little doubt that many of your readers remember that first Adaminaby Trout Festival. Unfortunately over the years, there have been various connotations placed on the facts of the Adaminaby Trout Festival. Leigh Stewart Adaminaby

disturbed and with some careful camouflage it can take the chooks hours to work out that there’s a couple of newly turned sods. Sure beats having everything dug up in minutes! And of course, there’s the Anti-Chook! This is a water gun toy that squirts a stream of water over an amazing distance and if there’s one thing a chook hates, it’s getting wet, so it takes no time at all for the message to sink in that scratching around in a particular area is a really bad idea. The jet stream doesn’t hurt them but it sure does send then fluttering in all directions and the seedlings get to live another day. Right now I have put in some dainty trailing plants along the top edge of a dry stone wall I’ve been building along an embankment and once they get growing and start flowering they’ll spill over the wall and it will look really pretty, so I don’t want any digging going on there. Therefore I have the Anti-Chook loaded and at the ready just in case, but so far, so good, because my chooks don’t appear to have noticed and that could be because the area around the woodpile is their latest place to hang out and it’s a fair distance from where I’ve been working, but I’ll be ready for them should they discover what’s going on at the top of that wall. Like I said, I love my chooks, but...

The Honda Snowy Ride This weekend sees the Snowy Ride come back to the region for its 13th year. This event is on track to again attract 3000 registrations which equates to about 4000 people (including pillions and volunteers) coming here to raise funds for childhood cancer research and to enjoy some of the best motorcycling roads in Australia. The Snowy Ride is organised by the Steven Walter Children’s Cancer Foundation (SWCCF). SWCCF is a not-for-profit foundation with a strategic plan to develop a significant long term fundraising capacity to benefit childhood cancer research in Australia. Since 2001 SWCCF has donated $5m towards childhood cancer research. Over the years the local region has made these motorcyclists feel welcome and has used this great opportunity to raise funds for local schools and groups. Each year Dalgety Public School has held a BBQ at the Dalgety Checkpoint and has become famous throughout the Snowy Ride community for their fabulous hot roast lamb rolls. Adaminaby, Bombala, Charlotte Pass and Jindabyne also provide barbecues and entertainment for the riders, raising money for local causes. There is plenty to do in Cooma over the weekend with the Motorfest on again at the showground, the Australian National Busking Championships™, St Pat’s Fete in Centennial Park, the Feast of Poetry at the Raglan Gallery and a concert featuring Cooma’s very own X Factor star Vendulka and some of her friends at the Cooma ExServices Club on Friday night (all funds going to MCCR). There will be live bands at Thredbo and Jindabyne over the weekend and markets throughout the region. All these events make for a great weekend and help to entice the 3000 entrants each year. As the saying goes, “if you build

it they will come”. Because of all this the Snowy Ride has truly become a regional event and one that we can be proud of. For the Snowy Ride to have run for 13 years and to bring 4000 people to the region each year is no small feat and is the result of the extraordinary organisation by SWCCF’s Allan McGuirk and Susan Walter and because we as a region are eager to participate.

Please be motorcycle aware when on the road and enjoy the rumble of 3000 motorcycles as they come through your area. You can check out what’s on over the weekend by going to www.snowyride.org.au and clicking on Regional Information. The website also shows all the major sponsors of the event including Snowy Hydro.

Snowy Hydro Family Program Every year for the past 13 years, on the first weekend in November, we have seen thousands of motorcycles ride through our beautiful region raising money for childhood cancer research. We know this event as the Snowy Ride. The Snowy Ride is organised by the Steven Walter Children’s Cancer Foundation (SWCCF). SWCCF is a not-for-profit foundation with a strategic plan to develop a significant long term fundraising capacity to benefit childhood cancer research in Australia. They work closely with the Children’s Cancer Centres at both the Sydney Children’s Hospital Randwick and the Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne. Both organisations share the resolute objective of achieving increased survival rates for children with cancer, a task simply not possible without public support through fundraising. What you might not know about the Snowy Ride is the inclusion over the past 11 years of the Snowy Hydro Family Program. This program brings families, with a child suffering cancer, from both Sydney’s Children’s Hospital and the Royal Children’s Hospital to Thredbo for a break from their hospital routines. The entire family is invited, mum, dad, brothers and sisters, for a relaxing and fun filled four days

which allows parents to reconnect and the kids to be kids again away from the serious business of a cancer diagnosis. A childhood cancer diagnosis not only affects the child but puts an enormous strain on the entire family. As one little boy said a few years ago “this is the first time I have seen my mum and dad hold hands since I got sick”. Over the years the Snowy Hydro Family Program has hosted childhood cancer patients from the ages of 9 months to 16 years. They are cared for by a great group of volunteers made up of local families and young people who come from all over the country and are passionate about the cause. Snowy Hydro has sponsored the program from day one, and without their assistance the weekend would not be the success it is. Also integral to the success of the program is Kosciuszko Thredbo, NPWS, Australian Goldwing Association, Cooma Monaro Historic Automobile Club, Lake Crackenback Resort, Charlotte Pass Ski Resort, Sydney Ski Club, Rhythm Snow Sport, and oyal Australian Navy. the Royal

More than a bit of Irish at 40 Cafe in Cooma The 40 Café is ‘your little bit of Irish in the Snowy’s’ and they have a lot more than just food and coffee on the menu. The team at the 40 like to have a bit of fun and use their café to not only promote a number of worthy charities but also a number of local and international artists. The 40 is a café with a moral depth and a passion for all things Irish. They strive to have vegan, vegetarian and gluten free choices on the menu and they want to make sure that anyone with any dietary need can come in off the street and enjoy food at the café. Owner and operator, Carron Tordoff has a huge passion for music and food that stems far beyond the running of her café. “It all began when I saw U2 live in concert in Dublin. We always go to U2 concerts when we get a chance. When I was at their concert at Croke Park, Dublin, Damien Dempsey was the supporting act and I immediately fell in love with his music because it’s so different from anything I’ve heard.” “From there we discovered other artists that were connected with Damien Dempsey and now we have a whole group of them that we try to support. “There are many amazing artists out there that are working so hard and get very little airplay so I’m trying to do just a little to get more people to hear their music. “It’s one of my passions; coffee, food, sport and music, what more could you ask for?” Ms Tordoff regularly travels to Sydney, Perth and Brisbane to meet Irish bands, which sign the CDs that she’s selling in the café with 100% of the profits going back to the artists. The sounds of Irish musicians and bands fill the air at the 40 café, with the likes of Damien Dempsey, Mick McHugh, Declan O’Rourke, Jenna Murphy, Roesy, Mick Flannery, Gaelic Storm, Mundy and not to mention the great Hermitage Green. They are also supporting Australian artists such as Rory Faithfield, Blackwater, Zana Rose, Felicity Burdett, Paddy McHugh and our very own Vendulka, McFade and the Button Collective. “By playing the music in the café and having some of our meals named after the artists such as Zana Rose Muesli, Paddy McHugh’s Irish Breakfast or a Dempsey Burger it grabs people’s attention and sparks an interest from the customers. “Lot’s of people come and ask who the food is named after or what music is playing and we promptly point them in the direction of the CD stand. “We are even woking alongside Lonsdale St Roasters in Canberra to create a special coffee blend called the Dempsey Blend,” she said. Ms Tordoff has managed to get a group of her beloved artists to come to the Snowy Mountains in January and play at the café in time for the Irish Festival. The visiting artists include: Rory Faithfield, Mick McHugh and Jenna Murphy and the Roses. These artists are all Irish to some extent and incorporate this into their music.

Rory Faithfield is a dual citizen in both Australia and Ireland. He was born in Sydney, however moved to Ireland 20 years ago and based himself there. A month ago he moved back to Australia and is currently living in Vasse, on the West Australian Coast. Rory can remember being taken to the Snowy Mountains when he was a child to learn how to ski. “My father is a mad keen outdoor adventurer type - he still rock climbs at 84 - and would take my family to the ‘Snowies’ every year to go skiing - My Dad would drive through the night from Sydney and I used to love waking up in the back of our old VW station wagon for breakfast in Jindabyne Village, which I bet has changed a bit since I was last there,” he said. Rory’s grandfather worked on the Snowy Mountain’s Scheme when he first arrived in Australia in the 50’s. He’s looking forward to returning to a place that Pictured: JayJay and Owner/operator of the 40 Cafe somewhat shaped who he is today. Rory said he would best describe his music as Carron Tordoff holding CD’s of their favourite Irish artists. contemporary folk or “Celtic Australiana”. His songs are wistful, emotional and deep and he strives to tell a story ‘alternative folk pop’. in songs that are saturated in Irish folk traditions but also with “It is definitely folk first and uses Celtic elements in relation to a keen edge born of Rory’s days as a punk rocker in Sydney. the guitar tunings,” she said. Rory performs solo with acoustic guitar, harmonicas and a “Zana sings harmonies and plays a variety of instruments loop station. People attending his concert at the Jindabyne such as the glockenspiel, Melodica and other hand held Irish Festival or his appearance at the 40 Café can expect percussion. I also use stomp box so I think it gives the songs songs from all four of his albums including his fourth and latest that nice rhythmic feel that is so inherent to Irish music.” album ‘Songs for Sooner’.

However she has been songwriter who was born and bred in Ireland and currently living in Sydney for about 6 years now. lives in the Byron Bay Hinterlands.

CHANGES TO GREEN WASTE COLLECTION Following discussions with the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) and the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS), Cooma-Monaro Shire Council is no longer permitted to dispose of vegetation or “green waste� by way of incineration. Council has adopted the recommendation not to accept this type of waste at the Bredbo,

Nimmitabel, and Numeralla Transfer Stations. To keep the costs of running our facilities to a minimum, Council will no longer have the provision to accept /process vegetation or green waste at its transfer stations. Domestic quantities of green waste

less than 300mm in diameter can still be taken and disposed of at the Cooma Landfill free of charge. Rural property owners may be able to burn this type of waste on their own properties subject to observance of Bush Fire Danger Period requirements, Total Fire Bans, and BY obtaining any required approval from the Rural Fire Service.

BOBEYAN ROAD – BOLARO BRIDGE – MAINTENANCE PROGRAM Following the community meeting held on 3 June 2013, it was requested that the Council’s consider undertaking the bridge repairs works at a time to minimise the impact on business and residents. Cooma-Monaro and Snowy River Shire Councils have undertaken a detailed review of the factors affecting this work, including; ¡ an assessment of the planned flow release into the river, and historical levels indicate that the next period of traditionally lower levels occur in mid-November, ¡ an assessment of the traffic data to ensure the work is undertaken outside peak periods, ¡ a review of alternative routes with the emergency services, and ¡ to ensure the works is completed outside school holidays or public holiday periods. Following this review we were able to identify the November – December period as the key period to minimise the impact on business and residents, this is in-line with the requests made by the community at the meeting. Preliminary minor works will begin on the bridge from Monday the 28 October 2013 with minor construction

delays of up to 20min expected. The timing of the partial and total bridge closure will be discussed at a community meeting to be held on Monday 4 November at 2:30pm. This meeting will be held on-site, at the Bolaro Bridge on the western side. The proposed dates for the bridge closure are:

The official ceremony will be conducted by the Snowy River Shire Council Mayor John Cahill, and attended by John Barilaro and Steve Whan, as well as project patrons.

In the early years, fly fishing for trout in high country streams was pursued as a gentlemen’s pursuit, but recreational fishing expanded with the development of large water impoundments, an increase in boatbased lure and bait fishing, and innovations in angling techniques, tackle and equipment.

This extraordinary biography, written with the generous cooperation of the Henson family, covers the full arc of Henson's all-too-brief life. From his childhood in Leland, Mississippi, through the years of burgeoning fame in Washington D.C., New York, and London, to the decade of international celebrity that preceded his untimely death at age fifty-three. Drawing on hundreds of hours of new interviews with Jim Henson's family, friends, and closest collaborators, as well as unprecedented access to private family and company archives, Brian Jay Jones explores the creation of the Muppets, Henson's contributions to Sesame Street and Saturday Night Live, and his nearly ten year campaign to bring The Muppet Show to television.

Bredbo Village turns 125 A fine weekend made for great celebrations at Bredbo’s 125th birthday last weekend. The highlight was the unveiling of a statue of a poplar tree in the town park (pictured right). Also pictured, Louise Barron, the announcer and the egg-throwing competition gets underway.

Public meeting to discuss Bolaro bridgeworks Following a community meeting in June, it was requested that Snowy River and Cooma-Monaor Shire Councils consider undertaking Bolaro bridge repair works at a time to minimise the impact on business and residents. The councils have undertaken a detailed review of the factors affecting this work, including; • An assessment of the planned flow release into the river, and historical levels indicate that the next period of traditionally lower levels occur in mid-November; • An assessment of the traffic data to ensure the work is undertaken outside peak periods; • A review of alternate routes with the emergency services; and • To ensure the works is completed outside school holidays or public holiday periods. Following this review we were able to identify the November – December period as the key period to minimise the impact on business and residents, this is in line with the requests made by the community at the meeting. Preliminary minor works will begin on the bridge from Monday October 28, with minor construction delays of up to 20 minutes expected.

The timing of the partial and total bridge closure will be discussed at a community meeting to be held Monday November 4, at 2.30pm. This meeting will be held on-site, at the Bolaro Bridge on the western side. The proposed dates for the bridge closure are: • Partial Closure (10am to 2pm) daily: Monday November 11 to Friday November 15 2013 • Total Bridge Closure: Saturday November 16 2013 to Sunday December 1, 2013 • Partial Closure (10am to 2pm) daily: Monday December 2 to Friday December 13, 2013. During these times it is proposed traffic will be detoured via either Shannons Flat Road or the Snowy Mountains Highway through Cooma, or Yaouk Road to Adaminaby. To assist with the detoured traffic both Council’s will undertake additional maintenance on Shannons Flat Road and Yaouk Road. All enquiries can be directed to Cooma-Monaro Shire Council’s Works Manager on 0439 061 354 or Snowy River Shire Council’s Manager of Operations on 0408 692 624

Heather Anoleck Dip FMBM

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

Spring is here! Spring is upon us, and in what is traditionally a busy time in the housing market, it is the perfect time to review your existing home loan needs. Many Lenders are currently offering incentives, with higher package discounts for new loans, or cash rebates for refinances. Combined with the low fixed and variable interest rates on offer, it makes sense to have a think about a ‘spring clean’ of your loan. If you haven’t reviewed it in the past 3-5 years, it is quite likely that there is a better option out there for you. For first home buyers, who don’t have any idea of what is involved, or even how much you can borrow, let me help you. I can assess your situation and let you know what your borrowing capacity is, and if you aren’t quite ready yet, I can let you know what you will need to do to get there. I will also explain the process for you from enquiring about finance, to settling on the house of your dreams, and be there to make each step as easy for you as possible. If you want to upgrade, and think you need to sell your existing home first, let me see if it is affordable for you to have both. There are options for bridging finance, or keeping your existing house as an investment property. A review of your situation will give you options, and may mean you don’t miss out on the ‘perfect’ house. So whatever your situation, give me a call today on mobile 0431 351 873, or email me at heather@hdafinancesolutions.com.au to arrange an appointment.

Helping YOU Prosper Pay off your home sooner Most people who have a mortgage and all want to pay it off sooner. Why? Because our home is not seen as an asset to the ATO as it does not create income or is it tax deductable for most unless you run a business from it. But for many people it has been drilled into us from a young age to buy your first home and pay it off. Because our grandparents or great grandparents lost their house in the deprecation. There is no doubt we all should look to pay off our own home as fast as possible as it is bad debt, as above there in so tax benefit or income from It and it keeps you in a financial hole. Most people have a P&I (Principle and Interest) loan, and they try their hardest to keep up to the repayments and pay off more when they can, but this can take up to 30 years. When it comes to investing in your future through property a lot of people think they need to pay off their own home first, I agree paying off your own home sooner is a must but if you wait 30 years it will limit your time to invest for your future. When it comes to investing, timing is a very important element but equally important is time in the market. If you want to make money in property, you need to get in the market and let time work for you. Now back to paying off your home faster, a quality mortgage broker can set up an offset loan, where all your income works against the interest owing calculated daily, which can take many years off your mortgage. But if you want to pay off your home even faster and build wealth to replace your income. The answer is - invest in property!

Canberra leads way with improved building approvals data Statement by Executive Director of the MBA-ACT, John Miller

Canberra’s peak building and construction industry organisation, Master Builders ACT has welcomed the July Australian Bureau of Statistics building approvals figures revealing a national seasonallyadjusted increase of 10.8 per cent. Commenting on what represented one of the strongest months reflected in the ABS data in more than two years, MBA-ACT executive director, John Miller attributed the seasonally-adjusted rise to the more predictable and lower interest rate environment and a move beyond the doubts which traditionally accompanied Federal Budgets. He said he was particularly heartened to note the 3.9 per cent increase in approvals for private sector houses, albeit that he majority of growth had been generated by 24.4 per cent increase with respect to multi-unit developments. “Even taking into account the fact that the July figures reflect the allocation of new budget outlays

i^m^k9ikhli^kbmr`khni'\hf'Zn ppp'ikhli^kbmr`khni'\hf'Zn

with respect to major projects, these are strong figures which are very welcome,” Mr Miller said He said that he was particularly pleased to note that Canberra had not been left behind the improved building figures, with the ACT recording a 12.6 per cent increase – one of the strongest performances of any of the states and territories. Mr Miller said it was also significant that the trend data remained positive across all states and territories, rising for an eighth consecutive month in July. “Our industry is still not out of the woods in terms of consumer sentiment, but the prolonged period of interest rate stability has certainly generated an improvement in the general mood and this is being reflected in activity levels,” he said. Mr Miller said he expected that there would be a further firming in sentiment after the Federal Election as people moved further beyond the uncertainty which had marked much of the first half of the year.

Responsible chemical use - Using Glyphosate The Noxious Weeds Management Services has in the past month had numerous inquiries regarding the use of Glyphosate, outlined below are some facts that may help in the use of this chemical and increase your awareness of correct and responsible use of chemical types What is Glyphosate? Glyphosate is one of the most widely used herbicides. It is a non-selective chemical that is effective on a wide range of weeds. This chemical is most effective against young, actively growing plants, but needs to be used in the correct way to achieve the best results. Field evidence suggests that most people apply far more chemical than is needed to kill the weeds being targeted. Glyphosate is sold under a variety of brand names including • Roundup

• Powermax • Touchdown How it Works Glyphosate is absorbed through plant leaves. It is then carried by the sap stream into the plant roots, where it prevents them from absorbing nutrients from the soil – thereby killing the plant. Annual weeds, including grasses and most broad-leafed plants, are easily controlled using Glyphosate. This is because they have soft tissue and when growing actively they quickly absorb enough chemical to destroy the plant. However, weeds with bulbs and perennial weeds with woody stems are much harder to control. They will only die if sufficient chemical reaches each plant’s root system. In all cases, but particularly with bulbs and woody weeds, timing of the spray application is critical.

More is Not Better Glyphosate, like all registered herbicides, works best when applied at the correct rates. Applying more than is needed is not only unnecessary; it also places you and the environment at risk. Use the minimum amount of spray mix needed according to the directions on the label, to achieve uniform coverage of the target foliage without runoff. Learning how to manage and handle chemicals safely and responsibly not only ensures your personal protection, but also provides environmental protection against our natural resources, like water, soils, native plants and animals. Getting the best results To get the best results from spraying with glyphosate make sure that • Plants are actively growing • There is plenty of fresh, green growth to absorb enough of the spray mix to kill the plant • Leaves are free of dust, and dirt and not covered with heavy dew or frost • Plants are not under stress from dry conditions, waterlogging and high temperatures. • Water used for mixing is clean

• Spray equipment has the right nozzle and operates at the right pressure to ensure good coverage • No rain expected for 6 hours, chemical needs to dry on foliage. • Always put 80% of the required water into your clean sprayer before adding the chemical then slowly add the other 20% of the water. This avoids frothing of the spray mix. • Do not spray when there is a breeze strong enough to blow spray droplets onto desirable plants. Give it Time to Work Allow enough time after spraying with Glyphosate for the chemical to be absorbed and do its work. • Do not pull, dig or mow weeds for a week after spraying. • Do not respray because you fail to see an obvious effect within just a few days. • With perennial weeds the visible effects of spraying (gradual wilting and yellowing) may not be evident for three weeks or more. Serrated Tussock incorrectly spot sprayed with Glyphosate, note the left side dead and the right side actively growing and producing viable seed.

Schute Bell Wool report Falls were registered over both selling days again this week as the Aussie dollar pushed higher against the US. The Eastern market indicator has shed 35 cents over the past fortnight yet is only down a meagre 6 cents in US dollars due the renewed strength of our local currency. After being the best performers last week Superfine types came under the most pressure. Merino fleece types with a high percentage of mid breaks are attracting some larger than normal discounts. 35,164 bales were sold nationally for the week with the passed in rate climbing to 14.3%. Major Buyers included Techwool, Lempriere and Chinatex. Southern & Western region prices fell by more than double that of Sydney in the 21 & 22 micron categories creating up to a $20 per bale disparity. Upcoming offerings are nudging 50,000 bales per week with the season to date offering still

running slightly in advance to last years. Forward market activity has almost ground to a halt with a large gap between what the buyers are prepared to pay and what the sellers want. The buyers are still interested but at about 40 cents below this week’s close. This week’s sales 49,702 bales are expected to be on offer nationally with 11,673 in Sydney. Schute Bell, Wool Auctions, Goddard & Monaro Wool are selling on Wednesday 30th October.

The Monaro Post CLASSIFIEDS DEADLINE - MONDAYS 2pm

Little Athletics - Five in a Row We suffered our fifth night of very strong winds in a row and once again it played havoc to our program. The cancellation of high jump has been the main problem this season. Kate Maurier was Sooo Close to U/7 Girls 70 mts Record. Young Kate has been one of the great improvers this season at our centre and her run in the 70m on Thursday was brilliant. Kate’s time of 9.07 sec equalled 99.2% of the record, which stands at 9.00 sec. Well Done Kate. On another good note, we topped 63 personal best performances by 43 of the 63 athletes on the night, with five athletes scoring three each. Two of these were in the U/6’s, Cooper Walsh and Nicholas Stead. Cooper lowered his 50m time down to 11.28 sec knocking 0.34 sec off his old time. He also managed to snip a little time off his 100m, bringing down to 22.66 sec. Cooper moved his discus throw out to 4.58 mts (+1.04 mts). The other boy with 3 PB’s was Nicholas Stead. Nicholas run in the 50m was the quickest of the season for this age group clocking 11.25 sec, (improvement of0.8 sec). His 2nd PB came in the long jump with 2.02 mts and first time breaking through into the 2m barrier (Imp of 9 centimetres). Nicholas’ 3rd PB

came via the discus where he picked up ½ a metre heaving it out to 7.48m. U/8 girl, Molly Norris in performing one of her three PB’s also collected a girls top ten performances on the night with stunning run in the 50m clocking 9.88 sec. Molly’s other two PB’s were in the throwing events, with a 67 cm improvement in the shot put (4.19m) and 1.23m gain in the vortex ball (10.11m). Nick Zusak (U/12) is having a great start to the season with some dazzling performances on the track and in the jumps. Nick = his PB for the 70m of 11.28 sec and brilliant run in the 800m shattering his old PB by 21 seconds to record 3:17.84 sec. Nick is slowly creeping his triple jump performances towards the 9m mark and this week he leapt out to 8.28m. Bailey Rogers (U/13) is slowly hitting his straps as he enjoyed three PB’s as well. Bailey is only a whisker off of taking the next big step in his 100m, getting his times down into the 13 sec mark. This week PB run of 14.03 sec was awfully close to doing that. Bailey is also at the edge of another barrier in the Javelin, the 20m mark. Bailey produced his best throw of 19.00m an improvement of 2 ½m. Bailey is striving towards 5m in the Long Jump. This week he managed 4.40m as he heads to his goal.

Top 5 Girls Performances Track 1. U/7 Kate Maurier, 50 m, 9.07s. 2. U/13 Alyssa Zusak, 100m, 14.72s 3. U14 Miruna Muruz, 100m ,15.13s 4. U/12 Emma McDonald, 70 m, 11.41s 5.

Top 5 Boy Performances Track 1. U/12 Nick Zusak, 70m, 10.44s 2. U/9 Kristian Zusak, 50m, 8.86s 3. U/10 Reuben Hooper, 70m, 11.37s 4. U/8 Jackson Walsh, 50m, 8.93s 5. U/9 Charlie Alcock, 50m, 9.00s

Other Outstanding Performances The U/10 800m race produced the best finish on the night, with Reuben Hooper and Ollo Bradenmann battling it out down the straight over the final 100m with Reuben able to hold off Ollo to cross the line 1 ½m in front of Ollo. Reuben’s time was 3:22.53s and Ollo’s 3:52.97s Charlie Alcock was able to destroy his old 800m BP by 13 seconds in clocking 3:32.16 sec by using the wind as an advantage. Let’s hope the October winds we endure have blown over to Kiwi land and we can have some warm fine conditions.

GAME 1 – Ravens vs Wings Both coming off wins in week 1, this game was sure to be intense, and it did not fail. Throughout the entire game, the lead was swapped constantly, with no team ever getting further than 5 points ahead. Ben Trotter was outstanding was the Ravens, using his size to score and defend. The fast-break was utilised with Victor Brendstrup using his speed and Daniel Hopkin’s drives were effective, along with some very important assists and defence. Pierre Wall was great for the Wings, with lots of talk. Dane Freimanis made a spectacular steal before running the court and scoring. Tim Wall and Jarrod Sopniewski once again were great together, playing off each other constantly with excellent chemistry. The game came down to the wire, with the Wings behind 48 – 50 with about 40 seconds to play. Jarrod Sopniewski saw an opening in defence, drove to the basket, and collecting a foul whilst sinking the shot, creating an ‘and-1’ opportunity at the free throw line. He scored the free throw, and the Wings kept out the defence for the final 30 seconds to win the game 51 – 50. MVP’s were Ben Trotter and Pierre Wall. RAVENS – Kyle Hubert: 11, Daniel Hopkin: 8, Ethan Hunt: 4, Victor Brendstrup: 4, Ben Trotter: 20, Connor Rendoth: 3 WINGS – Tim Wall: 23, Jarrod Sopniewski: 24, Dane Freimanis: 2, Pierre Wall: 2

GAME 2 – Warriors vs Supersonics The Warriors and Supersonics were both looking for their first win, and the game was tight in the first half. The Warriors took control in the second half to win the game 48 – 25. For the younger team of the Supersonics, Jimmy Harding was terrific under the basket, challenging much older competitors whilst being effective in defence and offence. Tyler Fanning had some ankle breaking moves against the defence. Tyler Pielli was superb, with great moves and unselfish play, creating a number of opportunities. Jerod Blyton had a great game for the Warriors, scoring stacks of points under the basket and creating opportunities. Kealan Battye, another young player, had good shot selection and was effective in defence. Jacob Stiles was on fire, driving to the basket on a number of occasions but often dishing the ball to someone with a better shot. The Supersonics should be congratulated on having the youngest team, with two year 7 players, Danyon Corby and Jimmy Harding, in what is largely a years 9 and 10 competition. MVP’s for this game went to Tyler Pielli and Jacob Stiles. WARRIORS – Kealan Battye: 4, Daniel Pevere: 6, Jerod Blyton: 18, Toby Williams: 2, Matt Swain: 6, Jacob Stiles: 10 SUPERSONICS – Dan Swain: 2, Tyler Pielli: 10, Jimmy Harding: 4, Isaac Singh: 4, Tyler Fanning: 5

Learn to Swim program

Longevity Fitness Howdy Monaro Post Readers. As a matter of introduction to this new column I wish to briefly introduce myself and outline the goals of what it is I hope to provide through these short educative articles regarding a holistic functional ageing process known as Longevity Fitness. As for my own expertise and background I was trained in the Australian Army as a Physical Training Instructor (PTI) for which I spent over two decades preparing and repairing military members for their specific combat roles. In the Army I was given extensive latitude to explore the most effective and efficient methods to create the individual robust state required to ensure combatants and non-combatants performed at their physical peak throughout their career. An equally-important component of my role was to conduct physical rehabilitation of injured and wounded members. Prior to leaving the Army in 2011 I was the only PTI consulted to have input into strategic planning for the year 2020 regarding the Army’s physical dimension. Many of the concepts and methodologies I was able to design during my career are being delivered in the Army today. It may surprise you to know that the advanced scientific physical training principles that create robustness in an individual is not what is generally represented through the mainstream fitness industry as depicted on TV and glossy magazines. In fact, in my experience it is somewhat the opposite. As a fitness professional who has literally trained tens of thousands of individuals I was never influenced by fads and commercial gain, as robust Army fitness requirements are very different to losing weight or building that so-called perfect body. I am therefore happy to remain detached from that field and perception. Now that I no longer serve does not mean I have lost the passion to communicate what I term the ‘Common Sense’ lifestyle fitness approach that I am going to attempt to describe through these articles if you show an interest. After all, education is the cornerstone to the Army Training System. One of the things my Army experience has taught me is to be realistic, and in my formulated opinion I recognise that following the so-called healthy lifestyle is one of the most difficult undertakings anybody can endure in their life. The unfortunate fact is - most fail! Built upon a holistic viewpoint, if you find the subject at all interesting you may even entertain the idea of performing some of the lifestyle rituals that I encourage. In cases I have witnessed those that do, most have a positive long lasting and profound impact upon their own unique individuality. Next article: Step 1 – Take a Breath!

In early February 2013, the Federation of Parents and Citizens Association sent letters to all NSW councils Mayors requesting that councils consider eliminating pool entry fees associated with learn to swim programs conducted through public schools. The Federation noted that access to pools was cost prohibitive in a lot of instances for public school children and affected a child’s ability to access swimming classes. Cooma-Monaro Shire Council resolved at its February 2013 meeting that the Mayor write to our local schools to seek expressions of interest to assist disadvantaged children to have access to learn to swim programs. Letters were sent to all local public schools on 27 March 2013 with one response received. The letter was resent in May 2013 with again, only one response received. Both responses received came from Cooma North Primary School. The principal of the school, Mr Stephen Mayhew has requested financial assistance from Council for 192 students to attend Learn to Swim classes at the pool for a period of eight weeks. A pool visit per student for sport and recreation is $3.10. To cover 8 weeks equates to $24.80 per

student. One hundred and ninety-two students attending for eight weeks will cost $4,761.60. It should be noted that some of these 192 students may be in receipt of a season pass for 2013/2014. Reimbursing those that have already paid for a season pass will not be considered. To assist disadvantaged students in having access to learn to swim programs, it was suggested that council consider a once off donation of $595.20 to Cooma North Public School to enable each of the 192 students, one free entry to the pool. Even though only Cooma North Public School responded to council’s expression of interest, if council were to provide financial assistance other schools may follow with requests and a precedent would have been set. Because schools receive state funding and grants and Council feels that they are not in a position to provide financial assistance it was suggested at Council’s October meeting that Council write to our local member on behalf of the local P&C, seeking assistance in water safety training. At the council meeting it was carried d unanimously that this will be the action n that council takes.

Men’s triples matches begin There was fine weather for the first matches in the Men’s Triples with the Green running to the liking of some but not so good for others is the scores are any indication, with winners in the thirties. Sergio Roncelli, Mario Frezza (subbing for Jack Sajina) and Paul Cannell kept Peter Harris, Mike Mannille and Tony Gray (who replaced Steven Seears) on five shots for eight ends to lead 19-5 after 13 ends. They continued to dominate for the remainder of the game to win 33-14. Denis Steinfort, Brian Seears and John Schoon had a similar start against Jason Thompson, Tony Brooks and Colin Roberson when they held their opponents on five shots for eight of the 17 ends played and allowed only three more shots to win 33-8. Ross Russell, Wayne Lodge and Mel Storta also set up a big lead over Ron Gammon (subbing for Bob Douglas), Max Reeve and Kevin Jackson and did not let up to win 34-12. In the remaining match, Allan Crowe, Mick Mayhew and Don Jarvis started very well and kept Geoff Venables, Ignazio Mondello and Gordon Cox on six for eight of the first 10 ends. From that point on Gordon’s team outscored their opposition and eventually won 34-18. The triples continued on Sunday, with Sergio Roncelli, Mario Frezza and Paul Cannell up against Mat Hassall, Steve Lapham and Richard Nichols. Richard’s team started well and went to the front 14-6 after 11 ends. Unfortunately they were unable to keep up the good work and scored only four more shots to give Paul’s team victory and a spot in the semi-finals 25-18. Ross Russell, Mel Storta and Wayne Lodge made the early running over John Vincent, Neil McGregor and Peter Schroeder to lead 14-7 after 11 ends. Peter’s team outscored their opponents

in the run home but not by a big enough margin, for Wayne and Co to take their place in the semis 23-20. Despite being held on 17 shots for six ends, Peter Marsicano, Tom Reed and Peter Caldwell were able to lead Geoff Venables, Ignazio Mondello and Gordon Cox 17-8 after 13 ends and went on to a convincing win 29-17. Kim Weston, Garry Taylor and Mark Buckley started well against Brian Seears, Denis Steinfort and John Schoon but faltered midway through the game to trail 12-17. Four shots on end 18 brought them back into the game. However in winning six of the last seven ends John’s team moved into the semi-final 23-18. In the only social game on Sunday, Bob Lahy, Rulie Steinfort and Lorraine West had an entertaining contest with Keith Goodwin, Renate Winckel and Daphney Buckley. The lead changed several times during the match and the 21-21 draw was a fitting result. The semi-finals will be played on Sunday November 17 commencing at 1pm. The matches will be (skips names only). Paul Cannell V Peter Caldwell, Mel Storta V John Schoon. The delay is caused by the playing of the Monaro District Challenge on November 2 at Adaminaby, November 9 at Nimmitabel and Sunday November 10 at Jindabyne. For these latter events cards will be called at 12.45pm, roll up 1pm and play commence at 1.15pm. Don’t forget the Monster Garage Sale next Saturday November 2. Donate goods to the club or sell on a commission basis. Goods can be left at the Club on Friday first between 1pm and 5pm or on Saturday morning between 9am and 11am.

Vandals damage Berridale cricket pitch

The community of Berridale has been subjected to an act of vandalism over the weekend. Vandals have set the cricket pitch alight at the training nets on Berridale Oval using a type of fuel concoction. This follows recent damage to trees and graffiti in local parks. Unfortunately both pitches will need to be fully replaced at the expense of Shire ratepayersand residents. The General Manager of Snowy River Shire Council, Mr Joseph Vescio,commented on the latest attack, “Both cricket pitches have been damaged in the attack and will need to be replaced. Who does this to their community?

Knowing that it will interrupt training for young local teams and that ultimately our community will have to foot the bill.” The police have been notified and are investigating this latest incident. If members of the community have any information regarding the damage to the cricket pitch, please contact the Berridale Police Station on 6456 3244.

Monaro team disappointed in Konika Cup match Monaro, missing a few key players to higher rep honors and injuries, took an under strength team to Canberra for the first two rounds of the Konica cup T20 competition. Monaro 9/115 lost the first match against North Canberra Gungarlin 5/118. Monaro got off to a solid start being 1/40 off six overs but they lost their way in the middle over losing wickets in clumps with Monaro losing four wickets and adding only 10 runs in the next five overs. Chief destroyer was spinner D Chouatiya (3/9). A Walters (22) with help from the Monaro tail, managed to give the Monaro a score of 115 which was probably 20 runs short of a par score. Monaro got off to a great start with M Doig (2/19) doing the damage early grabbing an early wicket and keeping North Canberra well below the required run rate. North Canberra played some sensible cricket working the ball into the gaps and were very patient in their run chase, A Karrad (51) the standout batsman. Three poor overs were the difference as North Gungahlin chased down the Monaro total in the 19th over. In the second match, Monaro all out 86 lost to ANU 7/153. ANU got off to a lucky start with a couple of early calls going the way of the home side. The opening pair of N Grant (51) and M Begs (41) proceeded to put on 87 in quick time and with the ball being hit to all parts of the ANU field, the Monaro disappointingly dropped their heads which is very uncharacteristic trait from the Monaro. With the departure of the opening pair, Monaro sparked up and managed to limit the damage in the final overs with S Wood

(3/15) putting in a good performance with the ball. Monaro got off to a steady start before the Monaro middle order once again collapsed thanks to some poor shot selection, a poor umpiring decision and a wicket starting to break up, which left the run chase in tatters at 6/52 off eight overs. A Walters (28) once again played a rescue role, putting a bit of credibility to the score but at 6/52 chasing 154 was never going to be easy and Monaro were all out in only the 15th over for 86. MDCA one-day competition Round 1 of the MDCA one-day competition had a return of cricket to the Dalgety Showground after a four-year hiatus. Jindabyne took full advantage of the short square boundaries and fast outfield, amassing a huge 2/332 dec off only 40 overs. J Williamson (115) and J Fitzgerald (123) put on an impressive 281 for the first wicket. Dalgety, faced with a huge run chase, folded all out for 67. Alpine 6/168 (J Ewart 49 and C Allen 25*- J Cahill 3/28) defeated by Berridale 5/169 (B Hearn 52 and A Walters 32* N Boate 2/37). Coffeys all out 141 (S Sommerville 35 and M Introna 21*- S Wood 5-26) defeated Cats all out 88 (A Khoury 30- I Hornemann (3-18). Next week sees Dalgety hosting Berridale, Alpine taking on Coffeys at Snowy and Cats and Jindabyne battling out at Nijong Oval.

took on Berridale. Alpine won the toss and elected to bat and got off to a cautious start against the Berridale attack. J Ewart (49) playing an anchor role was proving a tough nut to crack for the Berridale attack as he picked up the odd single and odd boundary. At the 20 over mark Alpine were 1/55 and whilst not scoring quickly, a platform had been laid with the batsman wearing a few from a hostile spell of quick bowling from L Redmond (1/23). J Cahill (3/28) finally removed Ewart and picked a few more wickets as the Alpine lifted the run rate in the dying overs. L Fraser 23* and C Allen 25* gave the Alpine the late over run boost that was Berridale V Alpine needed to give the Alpine a dependable An Alpine side missing a few key players 6/168. Berridale got off to a solid start with

Hearn (52) and L Redmond (24) playing a patient knock waiting for the bad ball before putting the ball into the gap. With Berridale sporting a longer then usual tail the top six batsman would need to get the job done. L Fraser (1/24) got the breakthrough but J Parkyn (25) took off where Redmond left off with Hearn and Parkyn putting on 50 before the introduction of N Boate (2/37) gave the Alpine a sniff of victory. A Walters (32*) surviving a big shout early for a stumping settled into a captain’s knock getting Berridale home with 13 overs renaming. Pictured, some of the action from Snowy Oval on Saturday.
