Chilly Nimmitabel Show

A chilly start to Saturday did not deter competitiors or spectators from attending the 2013 Nimmitabel Show last weekend.

The show was officially opened this year by Geoff Bush, who is president of the Agricultural Societies Council of NSW Ltd.

He also judged the cattle section. Also present for the show were BlazeAid volunteers, who have travelled from around Australia to assist farmers affected by the recent Yarrabin bushfire to rebuild fences.

Mr Bush is pictured above at the opening. Pictured at right, some of the 34 volunteers with BlazeAid

helping out at Nimmitabel.

Quality craftsmanship in men’s shed

Tom Barrysteps down

Providing men with good old-fashioned mateship and something meaningful to do with their time, Cooma Men’s Shed is an asset for the male contingent of the Cooma community.

Cooma Men’s Shed, running at the Cooma railway grounds, has 17 members from all walks of life, united by the fact they have time on their hands and desire to produce things which

they can be proud of. Andrew Dawes, a

Monaro artist, definitely has something to be proud of, completing his “labour of love” – a scale model of a 3214 steam engine, which he has been working on since September 2011.

The 3214 steam engine train was lively throughout the 1960s and 70s working the railways from Goulbourn to Bombala and often seen in Cooma pulling the mail train.

The 3214 steam engine retired due to a deteriorating boiler in 1982 and is now displayed at Valley Heights Locomotive Depot Heritage Museum.

This particular steam train has sentimental value to Mr Dawes as his family was involved with it in Cooma.

The scale model is crafted with obvious care and truly astounding skill, made

up of almost 99 percent wood and 300 rivets; you could definitely say Mr Dawes is a true wood craftsman and artist.

“I’ve always loved steam engines. This project has really been a labour of love. Rare was a day I didn’t work on it,” said Mr Dawes.

Not even following a previously made model, Andrew Dawes managed to create this beauty from scratch using his own drawing as a guide.

Even created to the

‘Architect’s scale’, 1:12 or ‘one inch to one foot’ Mr Dawes’ model is practically an exact historical replica.

Mr Dawes has been thoroughly involved with the Cooma art community for years and has done a lot of work enriching it. Well known as Chairman of the Raglan Gallery for years, Andrew has exhibited his work at The Raglan Gallery and The Little Gallery at The Hain Centre. On two occasions he has won The Briscoe Award and

also The Lions Club Art Competition Award.

Mr Dawes plans to recover after such a large project and achievement as this, before he moves on to his next artistic project. The steam engine model will remain at Cooma Men’s Shed until Mr Dawes decides on somewhere to exhibit or sell it.

At the Snowy Alpine Heritage Association meeting held on January 17, the committee, with great regret, accepted Tom Barry’s resignation from his long held role as Chairman. His replacement until the Association’s AGM in May, is David Shelley.

An article in The Monaro Post in December incorrectly stated that Mrs Rosemary Stewart-Beardsley is the incoming president of the Snowy Alpine Heritage Association Inc.

News 3Wednesday February 6, 2013

Community meetings were held at both Numeralla and at Kybeyan halls last Wednesday to present plans of recovery and assist with any inquiries in the wake of the Yarrabin fire.

Both meetings highlighted poor communications, both mobile phone and radio, in the valley.

Members from organisations including the Rural Fire Service (RFS), the Department of Primary Industries (DPI), National Parks, The Red Cross, The Police and the Rural Adversity Mental Health Program attended the meetings to ensure that every area of recovery is addressed and any inquiries are answered. A group of government and non-government agencies will be organised and given tasks relating to what locals have presented as the major areas where assistance is needed.

Numeralla meeting

Rural Support Worker, Dick Kearins from the DPI outlined that the four major groups of issues are social, built, economic and natural.

The community members who attended the meeting had the chance to identify issues under these four groups.

The main concerns of the community were erosion on

the fire ground after rain, ash washed into rivers effecting domestic and stock water, weed control programs being delayed, counselling for children in schools, damage to roads and problems with communication or lack of it during the fire.

It’s important that psychological issues are recognised, especially where children are involved. If you or someone you know is not coping after the recent events contact Jennie Keioskie (Rural Adversity Mental Health Program)

on 02 64553215. Jennie is hopeful to make a counselling service available to children affected by the Yarrabin bushfires, directly or indirectly.

To limit the effect that the fire has had on your children, Jennie advises to:

“Limit the amount of exposure your child has to details about the fires and try to get kids back to their normal routines. Most children and young people will recover perfectly well.”

Community members claimed that communication issues during the fire led to many problems both for residents and fire fighters. These problems caused emergency warnings to be delayed or not received at all, fire fighters not knowing where to get food from the staging areas, residents being misinformed by national or state media and confusion as to where the Neighbourhood Safe Place (NSP)

is and whether food and shelter was supposed to be provided for evacuees.

Residents expected to find the ‘Neighbourhood Safer Place’ open to provide shelter and food, however were shocked to find that the NSP was not even unlocked.

“Spike’s” service recognisedIt’s good to know

that on Australia Day our often-unrecognised heroes are receiving recognition for their dedication, leadership and commitment.

After almost 25 years of service to Fire and Rescue NSW and to the Thredbo community, Thredbo Captain, David ‘Spike’ Milliken has been awarded the Australian Fire Service Medal on the Australia Day Governor General’s Honours list.

The Australian

Fire Service Medal, only awarded to 10 firefighters in NSW this year, recognises distinguished service by paid and volunteer members of Australian fire services.

“I’m honored. I’m very proud to receive the award, as there are so many other men out there from my crew and others who give up so much of their time to their communities. It’s just so nice to be appreciated.”

Living in an isolated area, prone to the extremes of snow and bushfires, drought and rain, Thredbo Fire Brigade has adapted to provide many services all year round, working with the police and ambulance service to maintain the community’s safety.

Since 1988 Mr Milliken has been a part of the Thredbo Fire and Rescue team and of many terrifying situations in which he has responded with professionalism, selflessness and skill including road

accidents, floods, fires and other rescue operations such as the 1997 Thredbo landslide.

Mr Milliken led the initial emergency response from Thredbo Fire Station to the 1997 landslide, when 2,000 cubic metres of mud and rock shifted below the Alpine Way at Thredbo and resulted in the death of 18 people.

Mr Milliken helped to free victims from the landslide and fittingly him and his crew’s heroism was recognised through

a Commendation for Meritorious Service.

Mr Milliken also played a big part in the 2003 bushfires, which tore through much of the Snowy Mountains, stopping them at Thredbo’s doorstep through back burning and tremendous effort.

Since his appointment as Captain of the Thredbo Brigade, Mr Milliken has cemented the Brigade’s place as a huge part of the Thredbo community.

Through his efforts, the Brigade continues

to educate and support the vulnerable in the local community by educating them about fire safety.

Mr Milliken dedicates a huge amount of his own time to ensuring his community’s safety in every aspect.

When he is not fighting fires, Mr Milliken is a dedicated ski patroller through the winter and with training in life support, he is always first at the scene of any emergency situation.

JOE VESCIOGeneral Manager,General Manager,

I am proud to advise that the NSW Division of Local Government (DLG) will be using some of Snowy River Shire Council’s documents as examples of ‘best practice by Councils’. This decision by the DLG is just recognition of the efforts of the community, Councillors and staff in developing the IP&R documents.

Currently the DLG is updating its document Planning a Sustainable future, Planning & Reporting for Local Government in NSW, Manual and Guidelines. Within this manual it will be using Snowy River’s recently adopted suite of IP&R Plans, the Community Strategic Plan and Delivery program as examples for use by other NSW Councils.

By being asked to do this, it demonstrates the hard work and achievements of those involved, many of whom worked tirelessly to get the new Integrated Planning & Reporting framework implemented. There was many hours of community consultation and group workshops carried out in getting the plans written. Staff are now adapting to new processes as the framework is implemented.

Cooma hospital manager retiresAfter 41 years working in the Medical field it’s time for

Elizabeth Mendez to finally leave her job at Cooma Hospital for a very well deserved retirement. Since 2008, Mrs Mendez has been the Manager of the Cooma Hospital and a vital part of Cooma’s medical community.

Elizabeth grew up in Cooma and spent some of her childhood here until she moved to Bathurst.

“I’ve loved all my time at Cooma Hospital, the community is lovely, I’m very grateful for my time here,” Said Mrs Mendez.

Not only is Mrs Mendez leaving her job, she is also saying goodbye to Cooma, already moving back to Bathurst last Saturday.

Mrs Mendez and her husband are keen to put their motor home to good use, already planning their trip around Australia as well as an overseas trip to see the Edinburgh Tattoo.

She is also looking forward to spending more time with her family and grandchildren.

Attendee’s and Mrs Mendez herself were close to tears at the farewell afternoon tea, showing how deeply missed the Cooma Hospital Manager will be.

“She was very easy to get along with. I wish

her all the best,” Said Mr Chris Reeks, from the Cooma Health Consultative Committee.

“I’ll miss her friendliness and caring attitude. I wish her the best of luck. She was a good boss and was always organised,” said one of Mrs Mendez’s colleagues.

Her colleagues gave her some coasters and a vase as a farewell gift to cater for the flowers and wine as a habitual gift from her husband every Friday.

Obviously Mrs Mendez had a great passion for her job and it’s a sad time for Cooma Hospital to farewell the management of such a devoted health professional.

Pictured, Retiring Cooma hospital manager Liz Mendes was farewelled last Friday by colleagues and members of the local

health board.

Mike Kelly sworn in as MinisterMember for Eden-Monaro Dr Mike Kelly was today sworn

in as the Minister for Defence Materiel, after Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced his promotion into the Ministry on Saturday.

Dr Kelly took the oath in a ceremony at Government House and will take up his new portfolio immediately.

As Minister for Defence Materiel, Dr Kelly’s responsibilities include the acquisition of military materials and equipment, science and technology matters relating to their development, skills and industry policy, and helping to develop the national Defence Capability Plan.

Dr Kelly, a former Army Colonel who entered the Parliament in 2007 after a 20-year military career, said his appointment was a great honour.

“I am intensely aware of how important this job is, having seen first-hand during my military career what can happen if you don’t get it right,” Dr Kelly said.

“At the end of the day, you’ve got a soldier out there depending on their equipment for his or her survival. There can’t be any greater responsibility for a Minister to

remind themselves every day that, at the end of the chain, somebody’s life is at stake.”

While his new portfolio will be demanding, Dr Kelly said his focus on Eden-Monaro would be as strong as ever.

“My two great passions are the military and Eden-Monaro, where my family goes back 160 years. I feel extremely lucky to be able to serve the people of Eden-Monaro and our brothers and sisters in the armed forces.

“While the role of Minister comes with extra time and travel demands, I will be out in the electorate as much as ever – and I will keep working hard to secure the golden future our region deserves.”

Dr Kelly is also excited at the Labor Party’s recent announcement of the date of the upcoming election.

“I think it’s great because it means that from here on in the coalition are not going to be able to hide in relation to having a proper policy debate,” he said.

Emergency servicesOn January 31 at 4.45am a car was found on fire

at the Cooma Showground, it had been stolen from a mechanics workshop in Cooma. The RFS and the Police attended the scene and the fire was put out.

On February 1 at 3.30pm in Massie Street Cooma, a silver 4WD failed to stop and a minor collision with a black Toyota Corolla occurred. The silver 4WD driver fled the scene without leaving any details. If anyone has any information regarding this incident please contact the Cooma Police on 6452 0099.

On February 2 sometime during the night, three vehicles in Tulong Avenue in Zalka Heights were broken into, this follows on from other reports of motor vehicle incidents recently and should be noted.

Cooma ambulance transferred a 70-year-old man from Dry Plains Road to Cooma Hospital on Sunday after a car fell on his hand while he was changing a tyre. He was referred to Canberra.

A car accident near Nimmitabel on Saturday resulted in no injuries.

As an outcome from a series of regional community consultations and local business submissions last year, the NSW Government has produced an interim plan that will align to its NSW 2021 delivery program.The Regional Action Plan identi�es, on a priority basis, the actions and goals to be implemented in the south east region of NSW over the next two years. According to NSW Deputy Premier, Andrew Stone, the plan sets out a clear vision for the region and identi�es the actions the NSW Government is taking to address the priorities raised by communities in the region.The Regional Action Plan summarises outcomes and targets that integrate regional and council-based strategic planning and �nancial management of infrastructure investment in a variety of community services involving, among other key issues, transport, water, health, education, homelessness and the environment.Hard copies of the Regional Action Plan are available at council's o�ce in Commissioner Street, Cooma. Further information on the plan is available on the government's web page at www.2021.nsw.gov.auThe email address for further comments on the adequacy of this plan in meeting the improvements identi�ed in the south east region is regionalcoordination@dpc.nsw.gov.au and I would encourage all residents to take the time to read this document.

Grants funding forCommunity Landcare New grants recently announced by the State Government invites applications for projects ranging between $5,000 and $50,000 to support the natural resources management community to ensure regional productive land bases remain healthy, resilient and sustainable.The Community Landcare Grants build on the success of earlier grant initiatives, with a renewed focus on, among other things, sustainable farming and �sheries and agricultural innovation.The aim of the grants is to encourage participation and engagement in Landcare management practices. Council encourages local community-based groups and professional farming systems groups, actively involved in natural resource management or sustainable agricultural activities, to apply for these grants by COB on Wednesday, 20 March 2013.Eligibility criteria and on-line applications can be sent to the Caring for our Country website at www.nrm.gov.au

Honours for Nimmitabel threeThree long-time residents of

Nimmitabel were honoured with community awards at the town’s Australia Day breakfast on January 26.

Leonie ThistletonLeonie Thistleton, Mary Murphy

and Peter “Skeety” Evans have each spent many years contributing to the enrichment of the local community.

Mrs Thistleton has volunteered her time as secretary of the Nimmitabel Car Club and Nimmitabel Show Society, as well as time with the Nimmitabel Public School P & C.

She also spent many hours looking after her elderly mother, raising a family and managing a farm.

She recently stepped down as show secretary after four years. Her award was presented by Howard Charles.

Skeety EvansSkeety Evans received his award from

Nimmitabel Public School principal Mel Day.

Ms Day listed Skeety’s contribution to the Nimmitabel Show, Nimmitabel Pony Club and Nimmitabel Public School P & C, as well as the bowling club and the Magpies Sports club.

Mary MurphyMary Murphy received her award

from Margaret Weston, who stated “I consider Mary a worthy recipient, as she has served the Nimmitabel community in a very loyal fashion for many years .

“Mary came to Nimmitabel in 1958, and she and husband Norman started their family, and immediately joined in the social life of Nimmitabel. They had five children, so Mary became active in supporting St Joseph’s Convent and assisting with all school activity including fundraising and transporting children to Sport in Cooma/ Bombala .

“Nimmitabel was a thriving town in those days, with two schools, with a combined enrolment of approximate 180 children . Mary was always interested in sport and played tennis and bowls .

“Then in the early 60s when the Country Club was established, she was an energetic member of a group of women who worked tirelessly to assist in fundraising for amenities for the kitchen at the Club.

“In those days there were not the government grants we have available today, again the women worked happily together, running balls and street stalls, and raised huge amounts of money to help renovate an ageing and dilapidated hall, Mary supported

that band of hardworking and generous women .

“In 1973 Mary became a mail contractor and has served Springfield Road and Kybeyan with an outstanding and reliable service ever since– she doesn’t look it , but she will be 80 years old in July, and when her present contract expires she will be a youthful 82!!.

“That is when we anticipate we will all gather with ‘the big wigs’ the little wigs and her clients over that 40 year span, and have a grand bash to show our appreciation of her long and outstanding service.

“We have wonderful memories of Mary in the Land Rover, no seatbelts, no bitumen roads, no mobile phones but plenty of energy and desire to provide an excellent service to all on her ‘run’ . She has manoeuvred her vehicles through countless potholes, over bogs and encountered snakes waiting at boxes for the mail.”

“Her mode of transport has changed, her hair colour has changed , her mail routes have changed, but she is still the Mrs Murph who has been part of our daily lives for nigh on 40 years “.

Communities highlight poor communications at meetingsContinued from page 3.

Most of the communication issues raised were to do with an ongoing battle of the Numeralla Community to get an NBN tower installed by the government, which will allow them to have mobile and satellite reception.

The Numeralla community are hoping that the police and RFS will back the community and lobby the State Government to provide the funding for the tower.

Most of these issues were caused by faulty or non-existent mobile and satellite reception in that area but were only made worse by lack of communication between those involved with the fires.

Miscommunication occurred when locals discovered the maps used by fire fighters, distributed by the RFS, displayed the wrong road names or even put road names in the wrong place on the map such as ‘Old Kybeyan Road’.

Community members were also concerned that national and state media were making dangerous mistakes such as claiming that the Yarrabin fire had crossed the ‘Numeralla Bridge’ when instead the fire had only crossed a causeway kilometres away from the town. These mistakes increased the confusion of the community and led to unnecessary hype.

Locals were also overall, disappointed with the lack of use of local knowledge by RFS officials when property owners weren’t allowed to back burn to attempt to halt the fire.

A local community member claimed, “We’re not putting our heads together to do the best we can so that the best decision is made at the end of the day.”

Another community member stated, “Locals know how the fire runs and the sequence to attack it. Local knowledge is being taken away, there’s nothing local there anymore.”

Local Controller and Team Manager, Jim Darrant, replied, “There was one instance where I was asked to approve a back burn. I asked for information about it, didn’t receive any and therefore I couldn’t approve it. It was also on the Friday where there was very dangerous weather conditions.”

These issues and concerns of the local community were happily addressed by members of the RFS and DPI and will be raised and investigated in the RFS debrief session on the fires.

“Sometimes there is going to be disappointment but we need to discuss those concerns to make sure that they are addressed,” stated Mr Dick Kearins from the DPI.

Kybeyan meetingAbout 20 people attended the

meeting at Kybeyan Hall.

The meeting began with DPI representative Dick Kearins explaining how the meeting would work through the ‘recovery’ process.

However, after a couple of minutes of his presentation, local fire fighter Michael Green suggested the meeting would rather discuss the fire event, not the proposed recovery process.

At that point, local RFS controller Jim Darrant, began his presentation, giving a blow by blow account of the progress of the fire.

His presentation was punctuated by questions and comments from the floor.

Mr Darrant’s account of the fire incident was as follows:

January 5, lightning strike across the region started 12 fires.

Nine of these were extinguished, but the fire continued to burn.

There were fires at Brest Fire Trail at Shannon’s Flat as well as The Peak near the Brothers.

On January 6, at about 12.15pm, a fire started at Yarrabin, near Numeralla, on the river. The cause of the fire is still under investigation by NSW Police.

Fire crews worked on the fires to contain them, but the Yarrabin fire, which had plenty of fuel available, spread rapidly.

There were 30 crew, a grader and aircraft involved in the fire fight.

The fire was burning in terrain which was difficult for ground crews to access and they could not get or the edge of the fire, so the air attack continued.

Mr Darrant said the crews were trying to establish a line around the fire, but an area of unburnt fuel remained.

An excavator was brought in, to reduce the risk of spotting.

On Monday January 7, “everything was going to plan” until about 6pm when conditions worsened and firefighters pulled out to Mt Forrest road when they could not hold the fire.

More crew were sent in the back burn in that area, but wind shifts caused the fire to jump the road.

Ground crews and heavy equipment continued the firefight. But aircraft could not be used beyond the pilot’s allotted 12-hour shift (a CASA regulation – 12 hour from bed to bed).

On Tuesday morning, the RFS issued the first emergency warning as the fire had jumped a second containment line and was heading for Sunny Corner.

At about 10am Tuesday, the fire crossed the Numeralla River and spread towards Kybeyan Valley.At 11am, another emergency warning was issued.

By 1pm, the fire had reached the Kybeyan Valley.

At this point in the meeting,

local residents filled in details of their experience.

Tom Webster, whose property Ederveen was severely affected by the fire, said the fire had reached his place by 11.15am.

“At that time, the RFS website said the Yarrabin fire was okay” Mr Webster said.

“When we really needed information, the last update on the website was at 5.15pm the day before.

“We relied on it and it was absolutely useless”, Mr Webster said. Mr Darrant also pointed out the fire was spotting two to three kilometres ahead of the main blaze.

Another in the audience reported the website had ‘closed down’ at the height of the drama.

Another resident, Emma Jefferson, said “I didn’t know I was in danger”.

Mr Webster told Mr Darrant the communications on that day were completely inadequate- “we didn’t have mobile coverage, we lost the phone (landline), the UHF radios were useless. We had no news at all”.

Anthony Waldren of Nandawar Station, which became the staging post of the fire, concurred with Mr Webster. He suggested a new tower is desperately needed to provide mobile and UHF coverage along the Kybeyan Valley.

Mr Darrant said the RFS was very happy to assist communities in accessing grants to fund projects such as that.

Long-time resident Rick Hain asked why there had been a long delay in the exchange of information from RFS HQ in Cooma and Kybeyan.Mr Hain said the ground crews should have had direct contact with the helicopter.

“Mr Darrant replied “they should have had that”.

“They didn’t” Mr Waldren said. Mr Darrant said he would hold a debrief with the fire captains about that issues.

Mr Darrant said “we lost a spotter plane for a while because

a woman went missing – we were trying to locate her to assist the police”.

He said when the fire reached Ederveen it slowed down.

“Because I have a fire trail” Mr Webster said. Rod Nichols (Kybeyan Station) also had a new crop in – it (the fire) almost stopped”.

Mr Webster said that of the fire crews at the staging centre had been sent to Ederveen at that time, they could have put out the fire.

Mr Darrant replied “our objective was life”. He said it was up to the firefighters to decide if they are safe to attack a fire.

Emma Jefferson told Mr Darrant “I had no confidence at all that I could get you lot to do anything”.

She said had firefighters been available at her property at that time, much of the fire could have been prevented from spreading across her land and into her neighbour’s.

Mr Webster asked why, when he made a call to RFS HQ at 4.15pm on Tuesday, “no one turned up until 10am the next morning”.

Mr Darrant said “I don’t fight fires – the firefighters fight fires, but if there’s been a breakdown in communication, I need to look at that.

Mr Webster again referred to the poor communications – “I tried five different channels (on UHF radio) – none worked. I rang 000 and the operator didn’t have clue where Kybeyan was.

“If we had had trucks there at 5pm, we could have put that fire out It had stopped at Ederveen, then the wind took it and it spread. I was standing there, watching the extent of the fire – we could have put it out”.

Mr Darrant said ‘that was the firefighters’ decision, not mine”.

Mr Webster said the firefighters had two other routes to the fire which they could have used, other than The Avenue which was dangerous due to the pine plantation.

He asked what was going to

happen to the pine trees, some of which are burnt.

Mr Darrant continued with his timeline of the fire, explaining the plan of building containment lines other the succeeding days. He said fallback lines were established because HQ wasn’t confident of containment.

He said a breakout on Sunday January 13, ‘broke our confidence’ but the containment lines were established and with the help of cooler wet weather, the fire has now become a ‘patrol’ status, but be said everyone must remain vigilant because the fire is not out yet.

Rod Nichols asked what effect back burning on private land had had on the fire.

Tom Webster said if he had back-burned “the police would have arrested me”.

Mr Darrant said there had been issues with landowner backburning. “I have interviewed those concerned – it will go now further”. He told the audience “you are a great firefighting resource in your own right. If you had to rely only on the RFS apparatus to fight fires, it wouldn’t happen.”

The meeting asked Mr Darrant who had control of the fireground – the divisional commander (Div Com) or the EOC in Cooma.

Mr Darrant said the Div Com directed the brigades. He said that person should be in the helicopter and in direct contact with the crews on the ground.

He said if that hadn’t happened he would investigate why not.

Discussion turned to the need to reduce fire hazards in the area.

Mr Darrant displayed a map of areas he believed were most in need of hazard reduction – these included Crown Land, National Parks and private land.

The meeting attempted to move a motion that hazard reduction be undertaken as soon as possible but this has been deferred to another meeting at Kybeyan on February 12.

Local women who manned the staging posts during the fire with food and refreshments were rewarded last Wednesday. Natasha Roach, Isobel Harrington and Jenny Roach accepted a hamper from Langdon Gould and

raffled it at Nimmitabel show to assist the firefighting relief fund.

Work on the accumulated green waste pile at the Nimmitabel Transfer Station was undertaken recently. The green waste was mulched and used on the site, eliminating a potential fi re hazard as well as regenerating areas that required attention. New green waste is now being stockpiled in a controlled area on site.

Council offi cers are receiving an increased number of concerned calls regarding possible hazardous blocks of land. These calls are in relation to vacant land, vacated premises etc. and the potential these properties have as a fi re hazard.With the recent heavy rains, grass and weeds are proliferating; warm weather will then potentially make these areas fi re hazards.Residents and owners are requested to maintain blocks and properties so that grass and weeds are mown or slashed to a manageable level.

Council recently purchased a Concover machine to assist with daily cover at the Cooma Landfi ll, as regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency. The machine will allow council to eliminate reliance on VENM (Virgin Excavated Natural Material) and enhance the lifespan of the site, resulting in considerable savings for council and the community.

Pictured is gravel being excavated from the Bunyan gravel pit in preparation for resheeting on the northern end of Jerangle Road, the Billilingra Road and Dry Plains Road at the intersection of Snowy Mountains Highway, near Cooma Steel. An estimated 1,500 tonnes of gravel has been placed on Old Dangelong Road, 1,600 tonne has been placed on Dry Plains Road and Billilingra Road will receive a total of 3,400 tonnes of gravel covering more than two kilometres.

The Men’s Group and the Art and Craft Group at the Contact Centre within the Werri-Nina Centre at 227 Sharp Street, Cooma have begun working on their exciting project for the year: “Wheelies”. Think of anything with wheels – the wilder the better. Think about what to build it from... then off you go. Expressions of interest in this project have been sought from other organisations and groups in the area. The end result will be a wild and woolly wheelies exhibition sometime late in the year. If you or your group would like to be involved, please contact us at the Contact Centre on 6455 4030 or email: coomacontact@cooma.nsw.gov.au

the postman calls

THIS YEARS DUSTY CREEKSHOW IS PACKED FULL WITHEVENTS AND BOUND TO DRAWBIG CROWDS TO THE TOWN.

IT’S THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITYTO CAUSE HAVOC AND CHAOS,THUS BOOSTING OUR IMAGE

AS RUTHLESS, MEAN ANDNOTORIOUS BUSHRANGERS.

CAN WE GET SOMEFAIRY FLOSS WHILEWE’RE THERE NEL?

YEAH...I S’POSE SO.

Here’s an emergency with a difference – emergency services in Kirribilli attended a fire on Saturday, caused, in a sort of a

way, by a spider.

It appears a resident spotted a spider on her washing machine and sprayed it with insecticide, which ignited the engine, destroying the machine and leaving the resident with singed hair

and blurred vision.

Police media reported “there was no sign of the spider”. The Postman reckons it just ducked into a crevice somewhere and will reappear, next

wash cycle.

Well, as well approach 219 days until the Federal election, the rate of attrition in Labor ranks seems to accelerating.

The Postman is not at all sorry to see the ‘head prefect’ Nicola Roxon stand

down. Like many Australians, The Postman has grown weary of being

preached to by Ms Roxon about what to drink, smoke, eat or do.

Under her rule it was only a matter of time before more elementary

human functions were also regulated, supervised or banned altogether.

Those 219 days may reveal even more surprises. No doubt the muck-rakers are donning their protective gear and

preparing for a long campaign.

Our federal member, Mike Kelly, has been promoted to a Ministerial role, that of Defence Materiel - not quite Defence

Minister, but a leg up the ladder.

As a former soldier, at least Mike should have a fair idea of what the troops

need. But, will his new role mean the electorate will see less of him than at

present?

Discussion on OJD managementEditor,There have been some calls for

more policy detail to be included in the National Ovine Johne’s Disease Management Discussion Paper released last week by WoolProducers Australia (WPA) and the Sheepmeat Council of Australia (SCA), particularly on trading requirements and the Sheep Health Statement.

In 2012 SCA and WPA proposed improving trading between states through a two-zone system supported by nationally consistent entry requirements and a national Sheep Health Statement. However, some States indicated they were unwilling to regulate or enforce OJD management zones.

As a result, industry must now develop national OJD arrangements which account for some States applying their own control plans, potentially with different entry requirements. The majority of States have indicated that they will be guided by their own State industries

to determine entry requirements under the new plan. Until the States announce what trading regulations they will impose, details around a nationally uniform Sheep Health Statements cannot be finalised.

With this in mind, we are seeking feedback that will assist us to develop a national OJD management policy that can function effectively, despite different State regulations.

This includes encouraging the use of vaccination; recognising groups who develop regional biosecurity plans; improving risk-assessment tools; and providing detection and monitoring.

The discussion paper is available at www.woolproducers.com.au or www.ojd.com.au. Copies of this discussion paper can also be requested by calling 1800 332 312. Comments should be submitted by 1 March 2013 by mail to PO Box 942 Broadway NSW 2007 or by email to OJDsubmissions@coxinall.com.au.

Just when it appears I may have actually survived without access to the Internet (it wasn’t available at my new address) and can go whole days now without getting the DTs from lack of email and Facebook, I am told that it will be available to me as of mid February and I’m back to the shakes again because it’s only a couple of weeks away and I just can’t wait.

I know how bad that sounds. At my age I should be able to cope with things like no Internet (although it’s been a bugger where work is concerned) and should have been able to rise above the tendency to kill things because I couldn’t read or send an email or worse, get onto my Facebook page which is really great when it comes to keeping in touch with friends and family members who live interstate and overseas.

I have also missed being able to access my website where I blog weekly and generally keep my professional profile up to date. Thankfully, Daughter has been my admin person there which has been wonderful but honestly, I so want to see my page again!

But who’d have thought I’d have become so addicted? It’s what happens though and like with any drug, you don’t know you’re hooked until the day you can’t get it.

I made my way to the kitchen where I propped myself up with several cups

of strong coffee, one after the other, just to try to come to terms with the fact that the Internet was out for me until further notice.

The withdrawal was that serious, I’m telling you! And then just as I had more or less got it (sort of) out of my system, I’m only a couple of weeks away from getting it back and all the yearnings are returning so fast it’s like they never went away.

I’m in such a state of total bliss I have rearranged my home office, added some funky shelving via the local tip shop and am generally getting everything ready, set, go for the day when I’m switched onto the world again.

There’s a stack of people I’m going to email, just to give them the good news. But meanwhile, I just have to get myself through the next couple of weeks and if I thought the last two and half months were tough I just know they will seem like nothing compared to the countdown to The Day I finally have Internet access again.

Now that I know it’s definitely coming I’m a bundle of frustrated impatience for it to get here!

Thankfully I have plenty of good strong coffee so if I come across as kind of strung out in the weeks to come, that could be why.

There’s a wonderful lolly shop in the village which could come in handy too… Such is the price of addiction I suppose.

“Australia Day is a special day for all Australians to come together and celebrate our community and what we love about the country we call home,” the Mayor, Cr Dean Lynch, said.

“It’s a particularly momentous occasion for those Cooma residents choosing to become Australian citizens who pledged

their commitment to our great nation and embraced the responsibilities and privileges of Australian citizenship.”

In Cooma, the Citizenship Ceremony was held at Centennial Park during the official program.

Among those who made the pledge were:

Mr Gary Ross Cox Mrs Fang Huang Mrs Holly Ruth Regan Mr Christian Pablo Tagtachian

Australia Day is the most popular day to become a citizen, with more than 17,000 people expected to become citizens at some 430 special ceremonies across the nation.

“I congratulate the newest citizens of Cooma and on behalf of the local community, wish them well as they end their migrant journey and start their new lives as Australians,” Cr Lynch said.

“I encourage all Australians, whether new or old, by birth or by choice, to join

in Cooma’s Australia Day events and celebrate this great nation.

In Snowy River Shire four residents also became Australian citizens at the celebrations in Jindabyne.

The Shire’s newest Australian Citizens are: Roland Bourne (Moonbah), Holger and Anke Knaack (Kalkite) and Maria Reigada (Jindabyne).

Flowers • Pamper Packs • Chocolates

The Cooma Flower Shop is already busily preparing for Valentines Day next week, with orders flooding in the door and flower clippings covering the floor. If you are a hopeless romantic and wish to spoil the one you love, The Cooma Flower Shop has everything you need, from roses, to balloons, to bears and to chocolates, they have everything the heart desires.

Cath is encouraging people to order early and to order by phone, do not leave it to the day as there is a chance of disappointment. The shop will upload pictures later in the week of the arrangements available for the special day, these photos can be found on their Facebook page, www.facebook.com/coomaflowershop.

In her years as a florist Cath has experienced and in essence been a part of some very

special Valentines Day moments, one such she remembers fondly from her days working in Sydney. “One year a man sent his girlfriend a single red rose on the hour, every hour, with a letter printed on a card attached,” she said, “the letters weren’t in any order and when the final letter arrived she put them together and they spelled out ‘Marry me’”

The 7 STEPS TO FINANCIAL FREEDOM

What does this mean to you? It’s a bit like wealth. Freedom and Wealth measurement for each person is very individual, as we all have different wants, needs and outcomes out of our life.

But I must admit most people need to “Snap out of it”!

Why? Because we get “1 LIFE 1 CHANCE”, and whatever your wants, needs and outcomes are you need to ask yourself do you have them, are you on track to achieving them, or have you forgotten about what you really wanted in your life???

The good news is everyone can have the level of financial freedom you once dreamed of. The follow is not the only method but it is 7 steps that will help you for sure.

Step 1) Pay Yourself First

Step 2) Demolish YOUR Debt

Step 3) Earn the maximum income you can, and ideally doing something you love.

Step 4) Spend Wisely

Step 5) With your cash flow invest in Property

Step 6) Reinvest your investment returns

Step 7) Avoid Bad debt and live debt free

In brief paying yourself first basically means if you are saving for a deposit for investing or buying your first house. (Many of our clients buy 1 or 2 investment properties before their own home, as it really catapults them financially forward). You need to work out what you can afford and have this automatically withdrawn from your account or from your payroll straight into an investment fund or bank, so your saving is on auto pilot. One thing I like to tell my mates is if you can save $10 a day that’s $3,500 plus per year. We can all save $10 a day.

But we all know you cannot save yourself to wealth to financial freedom, we have to use leverage of investment, use the banks money to buy the safest investment in Australia –PROPERTY!

Secondly Bad debt- We have to demolish Bad debt as fast as we can, as soon as we have no bad debt we can use our money to buy more assets and importantly have fun, anyone knows me knows I love to have plenty of fun we need to have a well-balanced life.

The beauty of property investing, especially in Positive Cash Flow property it does not affect your family budget, your lifestyle today in a bad way, in most cases it provides you tax benefits, increased weekly income and importantly the peace of mind you are on your way to financial freedom.

If you would like to know how you can have financial freedom I can assist with all 7 steps, but you need to take action! Please don’t hesitate to contact ne if you have any questions.

When it comes to buying a home, there many questions that play on the minds of Australian property buyers. One of the most common is how do I find the best home loan deal? As competition for the home loan dollar has heated up, it’s become an increasingly confusing area, surrounded by contradictory information – and, to be frank, misinformation.

To help clear the confusion, Australia’s largest independently-operated mortgage broker, Mortgage Choice answers borrowers commonly asked questions and sets the record straight on key misconceptions about mortgage brokers and their role in helping Australians find the best home loan deal for their needs.

“Buying a property is a big decision. It doesn’t matter whether it’s your first, second, or third home, you will always have some

serious questions, and at times, doubts. You also face a barrage of information about the property and mortgage markets that can make such an important decision seem overwhelming. Thankfully, there are experts who can help you through the process,” said Local Mortgage Choice franchise owner/mortgage broker, Donna Robson.

“Mortgage brokers can help you with researching and comparing your home loan options from a wide range of lenders all in the one visit and, more often than not, at no cost to you. To some people this sounds too good to be true, which could be why there is some confusion about exactly what my role as a mortgage broker is in helping you find the right home loan.”

Here, Mortgage Choice answers five commonly asked questions from Australian

property buyers:1. How do I find a home loan

that’s best for me?To ensure you’re getting the best

deal for your needs and financial circumstances, it’s important to have a realistic budget and clear financial goals in mind before you set out researching the home loan market. You want to compare your options from a wide range of lenders and consider all aspects of a home loan such as the interest rate, fees, features and flexibility to find a competitive deal that matches your goals. 2. Am I better off searching for

the loan myself or relying on someone else?For those that want to take

control; searching for a loan themselves via word of mouth, comparison websites such as HelpMeChoose.com.au and visiting a range of lenders is a great starting point. However, this takes time, the information may not be current and you may not find answers to complex loan questions about your

individual circumstance and needs. This is where an expert like me can help!3. What is the benefit of using a mortgage

broker?The help of a professional mortgage broker

can save you time, effort and often money. Mortgage brokers take the legwork out of finding the most suitable home loan for your needs by searching the vast array of options available through their particular panel of lenders. Professional mortgage brokers go the extra mile to negotiate with lenders to structure a better property finance outcome for your unique needs.4. If the service is free, how do mortgage

brokers get paid?Lenders pay mortgage brokers an upfront

commission for arranging a loan plus a trailing commission for looking after you, the customer, throughout the life of that loan. Customers can be assured that new legislation requires mortgage brokers such as me to always make lender and product recommendations based first and foremost on customers’ requirements, objectives and financial circumstances.5. Are all mortgage brokers created

the same?It’s the added extras that sort the best

mortgage brokers from the rest. Stand-out professionals will leverage their lender relationships to secure interest rate and fee discounts, faster turnaround times and they will present evidence to negotiate more accurate property valuations. What also sets Mortgage Choice apart from other mortgage brokers is our unique ‘Paid the Same’ policy, which ensures that we get paid the same commission rate, regardless of the commission rate paid by the lender. This means we are always working in the customers’ best interest to find the best deal to suit their needs.

GrassrootsNSW Farmers lays out policy road mapNSW Farmers released its Policy priorities for 2013 and beyond today aimed at helping farmers and decision makers understand the association’s policy agenda. NSW Farmers’ CEO Matt Brand said the document highlights some of the simple solutions which will boost the productivity of agriculture in NSW and help revive regional communities. “Our industry is constantly evolving and it is critical that policy settings keep up. Our role is to make the needs of the farm sector

clear to government and our policy priorities is intended to support that role by highlighting some of the ways government can encourage food and fibre production in NSW. “Agriculture in NSW adds more than $8.3 billion of activity directly to our economy each year but our potential is much greater. “Over the next 12 months our talented policy team will be working with decision makers and opinion leaders to try and turn our policy agenda into reality. This is

all aimed at making sure our industry unlocks its full potential. “This document is a great introduction to our association and where we stand on the big issues facing agriculture. Our team is always open to hear and learn more about what can be done to help farmers in NSW continue growing the best,” he said. NSW Farmers’ policy priorities 2013 and beyond is available online now and will shortly be available in hard copy.

Petrea is the new vet in town

Landmark Bombala annual circuit sale

There has been no shortage of activity down at the South East Livestock Health and Pest Authority’s (LHPA) office recently. In the wake of the Yarrabin fire and the livestock circuit season, the place has been buzzing with activity, which is probably why new vet Dr Petrea Wait has barely had time to catch her breath!

Petrea is in the process of

moving to Cooma from Yass where she worked in a private practice for six years.

She decided to become a vet a bit later in life after spending 10 years in the hospitality industry. Petrea studied at Murdoch University in Perth where she eventually graduated with a Bachelor of Veterinary Science and a Bachelor of Veterinary

Medicine and Surgery with First Class Merit Honours. She now has 10 years of veterinary practice under her belt.

Since her graduation, Petrea has spent two years in mixed practice in the Western Australian wheatbelt towns of Northam and York, she then moved to Yass and worked at the Yass Veterinary Hospital so she could be closer to home.

This allowed her to gain experience

working with a varied list of animals and clients, from large grazing properties, feed lots, hobby farms, through to stud horses, sheep, cattle, goats, alpacas, dogs and cats, as well as many other wild animals.

Petrea said that a large part of her becoming a vet was the fact that “I was sick of paying vet bills for all of my horses!” she joked. This leads into another important aspect of Petrea’s veterinary background, her extreme love for horses. She has competed successfully in variety of horse events, including Dressage and Western Pleasure. In her spare time she also breeds Thoroughbred horses and ultimately would love to produce a Melbourne Cup or Cox plate

winner. Moving with her to Cooma is her long –time partner John, her two dogs, three cats and many, many horses.

Petrea has recently spent time out at Bombala at the sheep circuit sales inspecting sheep and checking for diseases.

In her first week she was inundated with duties in regard to

livestock that had suffered injuries in the fires.

Now that people know Petrea is in town she is hoping that she will get the opportunity to “get out and see the properties and see some animals.”

New veterinary surgeon with the LHPA, Petrea Wait.

At the annual Bombala circuit ale on Wednesday and Thursday Janusary 30 and 31, a total of 17192 sheep sold to a full field of buyers from Sale, Cooma, Albury, Wagga, Goulburn, Bendigo, Braidwood, and very strong local support.

Junior Barrel Racing

Barrel racing is an event that anyone can have a go at; and kids who love horses have their chance in one of the three age divisions of the junior barrel race.

Entry fees are cheap and you do not have to have a particular kind of horse to compete. You will however need to wear a long sleeve shirt, riding boots and an Australian Standard helmet and will need to be riding in either a stock or western saddle.

Riders of any age cancompte in the junior barrel racing events, so long as

they can handle their horse or pony.

Left: young riders wait thier chance in the

poddy calf ride.

Exciting program for Cooma rodeo 2013

With so many competitors travelling long distances to compete at the CRT Cooma Rural Rodeo, there has been a drop in the amount of local competitors willing to throw their hats in the ring and compete.

But there is no reason for this to happen; there are plenty of events that are tailor made for local competitors, the only requirement is a sense of adventure and a desire for adrenaline!

Most entries are taken in the week prior to the Rodeo, with the only event where entries are taken on the day of the Rodeo being the Cochran Horse Treks Poley Buckjump.

Cherry Tree Equine Novice Barrel Race

There is no age or experience limit to enter the Cherry Tree Equine Novice Barrel Race. The first event on the program, the Novice Barrel is a chance for anyone to have a go at barrel racing and for the more seasoned competitors to give their young horses a run.

This Saturday is sure to offer lots of thrills and spills for competitors and specators alike at

Cooma rodeo.

Jarrod competes at Australian Sprint ChampionshipsOn Sunday January 27, Jarrod Sopniewski competed in the Australian Sprint Triathlon Championships, held in Canberra, placing ninth in his division (Male 14-15) with a time of 1:15:59.

The sprint triathlon distance is a 750m swim, 20km cycle and 5km run. This championship serves as a qualifier for the world championships. This was Jarrod’s second triathlon outside of school, his first being the Capital Summer Series December Fest race in Canberra held last year, also a sprint distance. Before this race, he had competed at school state triathlons, roughly half of the sprint distance.

In the December Fest race, held on December 9, 2012, Jarrod placed first in his division, with a time of 1:17:10, and equal 32nd

overall. His split times were 13:35 for the swim, (1st category, 43rd overall), 42:23 for the cycle, (2nd category, 54th overall), and 21:12 for the run (1st category, 19th overall).

His time of 1:15:59 on Sunday shows a steady improvement on the last race, with a lot of work being done over the Christmas break, especially on the bike. His splits for the more recent race were 13:51 for the swim (9th category), 41:15 for the cycle (8th category) and 20:53 for the run (6th category). Overall he placed 181st out of 354 total finishers.

Still relatively new to the sport, Jarrod shows particular strength in the running leg, and also in the longer distance races. Jarrod is happy with his improvement and is looking to improve in the future. He is now preparing for

a full Olympic length triathlon (1500/40/10) to be held in March, again in Canberra as part of the Capital Summer Series.

This year the cattle section was yet again a great success with 14 stud entrants, although the weather was a little bit fresh, we had a great day with plenty of bystanders watching some of the best stud stock the Monaro has to offer.

Our judge this year was Kirraweena-Glenholme stud owner Geoff Bush who made the journey over with his wife Heather from Cootamundra and had plenty to comment about the high quality and standard that was presented in the ring before giving the ribbons out as below: Champion Female – Rosskin Wanda D38, Reserve – Kiaora Jemma; Champion Male Kylo Kurrajong, Reserve Rosskin Appeal Supreme Rosskin Wanda D38. Without the exhibitors and the sponsors we could not have had the success that we had, so thanks to all the exhibitors, Rosskin Angus, Nungar Plain Santa Gertrudis, Kylo Herefords and coastal studs Marida & Kiaora Limousins exhibited by Narooma High School. To all the sponsors thank you, Cooma Rural Supplies, South East Rural, Boller & Co, Landmark, The Monaro Post, Kylo Herefords and Nungar Plain Santa Gertrudis Stud.

Second p lace went to U/11 Emma Watkins (another with PB time) who crossed the line in 9.95 sec minus her handicap brought her time to 7.12sec.

Third was U/7 Gus Brabham who posted an impressive time of 10.32 sec and with his handicap time taken off finished with 7.38 sec.

The Shot Put was one of our throwing events on the night. U/7 Angus Wood was awarded the top thrower with PB of 3.65m adding his handicap on he reached 8.84m.

Second was U/10 Jordan Davis, (8.02m), with the aid of his handicap his total went out to 8.34m. U/7 Gus Brabham picked up another third placing and PB of 3.63m, when adjusted on handicap he climbed out to 8.14m.

The 200m turned out to be the handicappers delight with first two placing only 100th of a seconds between them.

U/7 Gus Brabham (31.69 sec) edge out Angus Wood (31.70 sec) also U/7 boy on corrected times. Nicolas Zusak (U/11) in third place with excellent time of 34.72 sec and corrected to 32.78 sec.

The 70m closed the handicap/multi program for this summer season and Brittany Wilkinson (U/12 girl), 8.00 sec, edged out Emma Watkins (U/11) by 3 /100th of a second to (8.03 Sec), and third was Jordan Davis with 8.32 sec, who was 1/100th of a second ahead his younger brother Stephen and Charlie Alcock on 8.33 sec.

Entry Forms are now available for the ACT Southside regional carnival on March 2 and 3.

Last weekend played host to 35 players from the townships of Jindabyne, Bombala and surrounding areas for their final camp in the Inaugural Snowy Mountains Academy. With the NRL Development team (formerly ARL & CRL) working for the previous three or so years on various projects, come the initiative to formulate an academy for the area.

Players came together in December 2012 with a camp in Bombala before heading to Jindabyne a fortnight later preceding the Christmas break.

The last camp was last weekend in Narooma at the Surf Club.

These camps were designed to mix Rugby league with fun activities, meet players from around the area and also have the opportunity to mingle with the older Far South Coast Monaro academy players.

During these camps they also had the opportunity to meet and mingle with NRL players both former and current with them speaking about their own quests to the elite level.

A lot of these players came from very similar backgrounds as the academy players.

Club presidents David Bruce (Bombala) and Mick Hamilton (Jindabyne) have embraced the concept and with the support of their committees and community have ensured the players have been more than looked after during the program.

Players have received training shirt, football, giveaways of all descriptions and will finish their program with games at Bibbenluke where they will receive their own academy designed shirt, shorts and backpack.

This was the incentive provided for all members that started the program and continued through till the end.

“We started the program with 35 players and we had our final camp yesterday with 35 players” Bruce stated.

“It’s been a tremendous benefit for the players from Jindabyne to have the opportunity that has been provided with

many of these players not able to play Rugby league for the past couple of years due to various reason” Hamilton said before adding “We have tried so hard with the support of the CRL/ARL in the past years but this seems to have been a real winner and something we will look to continue in years to come.”

“Rugby league on the Highlands is a major focal point for the NRL as we look to expand and regain some of our traditional strong holds of the Game.

Having a program such as this, fully funded by the community and staffed by the NRL has been a terrific partnership that we will look to go from strength to strength in the years to come.” Greater Southern NRL Game Development Manager Matt Schubert stated at the conclusion of the weekend.

After indifferent weather the players attending enjoyed everything the camp had to offer with beach activities, lectures from Surf life Saving personal on identifying rips and surf safety, rugby league skills and games as well as the opportunity to see, mix and endure the older Far South Coast Academy with local players Jackson Standen, Joel Smith, Blayne Thomas and Zane Weston.

Along with the players, the staff from the highlands also gained a wealth of knowledge with each of them exposed to coaching techniques, updates, resources and the opportunity to watch the older Academy go through their paces at a much higher intensity.

The next opportunity for the players from the Snowy Mountains Academy will be games at Bibbenluke on the 23rd March where they will play against visiting sides from Group 16 and Canberra.

This should be, as always, an excellent day of Rugby league with the focus on the players from the area competing in International ages for the first time in many years.

Hope to see as many locals there supporting these players as they show their wares on home soil.

Cooma and Jindabyne residents will welcome the arrival of a new physiotherapist, Lara Hansford.

Lara is one of three new physiotherapists who have moved to the state’s south-east and who start work this week, providing a significant boost to physiotherapy resources in the area.

She is working part time with Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy in Cooma and part time at the Jindabyne Physiotherapy and Sports Centre.

“Lara’s arrival means that both Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy in Cooma and the Jindabyne Physiotherapy and Sports Centre will both be able to reduce the waiting times required to get appointments,” Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy’s Renee Pirozzi said. “So patients from the Monaro who need physiotherapy will really be the ones who benefit from Lara coming to the area.”

Lara comes from Byron Bay. She is very sport minded. She is particularly passionate about netball and touch football, and has visited the Snowy Mountains every year for many years to spend a week or two skiing.

“Sport is my driving passion, both as a participant and professionally” Lara told the Monaro Post. “And the physio practices in Cooma and Jindabyne both offer lots of opportunities for me to work with sportsmen and women at all levels of expertise, so that’s a real attraction to me.”

“The change of climate is another attraction for me… as, of course, is the prospect of spending a lot more time in the snow in winter!”

Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy has also partnered with the local public health systems to enable two other physiotherapists to be employed in the south east. Emma Freer starts work this week in the Merimbula and Eden areas, and Jack Murphy joins the physiotherapy

workforce in Bega.

“The south-east, like most rural areas in the state, is suffering from an acute shortage of physiotherapists. So we are extremely pleased that we’ve now been able to attract not one, not two, but three new physiotherapists to the area which help us meet the continuing growing demand for physiotherapy services throughout the south-east,” Renee Pirozzi added.

Lara will be working alongside Kristy Nichols and Renee Pirozzi in Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy’s Cooma clinic located at Bombala Street Surgery, 62 Bombala Street. Late appointments are available, and no referral is needed. For appointments, phone 6452 4203.

Cooma Golf report by Garry Atkinson

Golfers found the course long and somewhat wet over the last week of golf at the Cooma Golf Course.

With recent lovely rain the course has greened considerably with much less run and scores this week have reflected the extra green grass.

A reminder to all members that there is a working bee this Friday after work to help spruce up the course for the Short Course Championships to be held on February 16. This is a date not to be missed.

The highlight of the weekend has to go to Phil Patricks who had a hole in one on the 11th hole with a well-hit six iron. Great work Phil!

So what happened last week on the course…

On Saturday, 30 players hit off in a single stableford medley.

In A grade Steve Young won the day with 37 points.

B grade saw Michael Boyce score 37 points. C grade was

won by the always consistent Alan Kelly with 33. Ball winners went down to 31 points.

Nearest the pin on the ninth was won by Dave Robinson and Mark Van Ommen won the 17th with a great shot. Longest drives went to Dave Robinson, Geoff Bohringer and Alan Kelly.

Sunday saw 35 golfers playing in an individual stableford – round two of the Super Stableford and with the junior competition on as well and the Jack Newton Golf Foundation coaches working with local members on coaching tips for juniors there was plenty happening.

Andrew Jeffrey had a great round of 36 points (a par round) to take out A grade. B grade was won by Dave Goggin with a round of the day 37 points and C grade was taken out by the smooth swinging Marion Burke with 33 points.

Ball winners went down to 34 points. Nearest the pin on the ninth went to Norm Marshall and the 17th was taken out by Peter Smith who is starting to gain some form after a break.

On Wednesday a single stableford saw 25 players compete in three grades for the top prizes with A grade being won by Charlie Beaumont with 40 points. B grade was taken out by Prawit Prakotasung also with 40 points and C grade was won by Kerry Blencowe with 38 points.

Ball winners went down to 29 points. Nearest the pin on the ninth was a super shot by Mike Carroll and Prawit Prakotasung was closest on the 17th.

Next Saturday sees a monthly medal on Saturday with a stableford on both Wednesday and Sunday. Of course there is the daylight saving comp. on every Wednesday afternoon. You can hit off up until around 5:30pm. It’s a great way to get over hump day.

Junior golf is on this Sunday with a barbecue afterwards. Members are asked to lend a hand if they can and of course as previously mentioned we have a working bee on Friday afternoon this week and the Short Course Championships February 16.

See you on the greens.

Another Friday washed outAnother Friday another washout...

the Clash of the codes grand final was abandoned without a ball bowled as a heavy downpour on Friday afternoon put the sword to any chance of getting a match under way.

Saturday presented the players with cold and overcast conditions. With the top four just about set in stone the match all teams were watching was the battle between the second-placed Cooma Cats and third placed Coffeys at Rotary.

Coffeys batting first posted a very competitive score of 4/247 with S Summerville posting 108*. The Cats fell short, posting a handy 9/221. Berridale 8/176 defeated Alpine all out 134 at Snowy and in the last match Jindabyne won via forfeit against Cooma Cannons.

Sunday saw a disappointing field of only four teams participate in the six-a-side. In a first for the Monaro the six-a-side was also a fundraiser for Ricky Ponting Foundation and more than $1000 was raised for the charity.

The final was played between the STC Pumas and Merimbula Knights who travelled from Canberra and Merimbula for the day putting to shame the cricketers from Cooma and Jindabyne who could not even muster one team for the day.

NEXT WEEK’S MATCHESBerridale V Coffeys @ BerridaleCooma Cats V Jindabyne @ SnowyCooma Cannons V Alpine @ Nijong Berridale V Alpine match report.Berridale won the toss and elected

to bat and got off to a poor start against some handy bowling from James Ewart (2/26) and M Clarke (2/14).

Ewart doing the damage early, dismissed both openers cheaply. Redmond (44) and Freebody (25) restored the Berridale innings and both batsmen looked set to post big scores against the part time bowlers from the Alpine.

The pair put on a 50 run partnership before Freebody was run out attempting a third run when Sutcliffe had a direct hit run out from in the deep. With the Berridale innings on a knife’s edge Mitch Clarke was reintroduced into the attack and had instant rewards picking up two wickets including the valuable wicket of Redmond.

With the Alpine breaking into the tail O’Keeffe (55) in his more familiar role of number six played a great knock batting with the tail seeing off Clarke and Ewart and then taking toll on anything lose from the part timers.

Jake Riley (13) was sent in to lift the run rate and did so with a quick little cameo getting Berridale to a handy 8/176.

Berridale hit the field knowing 176 was a good score and would be hard to chase

down on the slow outfield.

Sam Dowett the Pommy import for the Stallions Rugby League side got the Alpine off to a blistering start smashing a couple of well timed strokes over the bowlers heads.

Dowett was looking dangerous and a change of length was required and Alex Bruce quickly found Dowett struggled with the short stuff and A Bruce (1/17) delivered a great throat ball and Dowett could only fend it straight to gully and was caught for a quick fire 23.

J Mugridge (3/27) at the other end was getting the ball to swing and cut and all batsman struggled with the young quicks line and he quickly made big inroads into the Alpine batting lineup.

Mitch Clarke (19) showed some resistance with some big hits but was

dismissed just as he got going by a spectacular catch from young leggie A Bartell off the bowling of Redmond (1/22).

When James Ewart was tragically run out after Askell (31) smashed a straight drive catching Riley’s (1/22) hand deflecting onto the stumps with Ewart out his crease.

With the score on 8/97 the game looked to be all over but as in the past Berridale let the foot off the pedal and some sloppy fielding and bowling crept in with Askell and C Allen (8) putting on a good little partnership but it was all in vain as Askell was eventually dismissed when caught in the deep with the score on 131 in the 40th over.

3 points A O’Keeffe

2 points L Redmond
