They spelt Reading wrong
Oliver Curtis was released from Cooma gaol this morning, greeted by a frenzy of media attention. Investment banker and husband of media personality Roxy Jacenko, Curtis has spent 12 months behind bars for insider trading. Escorted by a security guard, the 31-year-old was driven away in a black Range Rover. Media raced after him in their vehicles, leaving tripods and other gear behind, strewn across the frosty ground outside the gaol.
And I watched 2 of them go straight through the stop sign. 1 car started Driving off before their passenger was even fully in the vehicle! Driving like morons at the time of day that kids are walking to school. Is it really more important to get a picture of a stupid criminal then follow road rules and be aware of pedestrians!
Care factor, zero. Talking about his release on Sunrise this morning, Roxy hired a private plane, haha, couldn't see it landing in Cooma with the fog.
Whoever does the lawns along the sidewalk did a A+ job on the edging. Goodwork.
Lol a bit of excitement for Cooma. Anything for news.
I'm amazed the council didn't throw a tickertape parade for him or fining media for dumping their gear lol
Roxy wasn't there with children to greet him as she said she would maybe too cold to get off the plane ✈️❄️
Lol love the tractor in the back ground at the Cooma airport ha ha ha Cooma- so much to love
Yay, another criminal gone from our town! Always good to see them leave.
You sure their equipment wasn't frozen to the ground? :D
Who gives a shit
do the crime do the time fucker
Good old Cooma Jail in the news
Media are in town! LOL!
Thought you guys might have a busy morning!
This man is a crook, why are we giving him any publicity at all?

Taffa Media’s big break in Korea
-------------------------------------------
Cooma local, Louise Taffa, has recently returned from the Korea Republic (South Korea) after spending three weeks covering the FIFA Under 20 World Cup. Louise works as a freelance journalist and created her own media brand, Taffa Media, in 2015.
“Covering this event has been a long term goal of mine,” she said. “It was a privilege to meet so many people and promising players.”
Louise worked with the team from Vanuatu, the smallest country to qualify for a football world cup.
“There was no greater feeling than working closely with and supporting the small island country of Vanuatu while they were at their first ever FIFA World Cup,” she said “It was beautiful to see how happy the players were to just be in Korea.”
Louise describes the experience as full on; some days she would work for 18 to 19 hours and travel to three different cities. She covered more than 16 games in 14 tournament days, taking photos and writing reports on each game.
“Something was always going on…I had to remind myself to eat!”
But the busy schedules and football-mad atmosphere made Louise realise she was right where she wanted to be.
“This is the industry I love and I know that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.”

Cooma Red Devils huge day of rugby
------------------------------------------------
Last Saturday was a huge day for the Cooma Red Devils.
Nearly 200 old boys packed the Alpine Hotel for the annual gentlemen’s luncheon and to listen to guest speakers former Wallabies Nick Farr-Jones and Peter FitzSimons. Another former Wallaby Geoff Didier, was also in attendance.
After lunch, the old boys headed to Rotary Oval where there was a full card of junior and senior football, including a Golden Oldies match between Cooma’s former greats and the Cauliflower Club.
The three celebrities joined the ranks of the Cauliflower Club in the feature match, with Peter FitzSimons directing the traffic for the Caulis.
All three took some time out to meet junior Red Devils players and be photographed with them.
At halftime in the first grade match the club paid tribute to former club member, player and referee, Bede Nichols, who died last October.
The Bede Nichols Stand was formally unveiled by Bede’s nephew and club president Jimmy Nichols.
A fitting tribute was read by Mark Herbert. First grade added to the honours by defeating Goulburn 27-10.

Stallions 1st Grade win against Moruya – just!
-----------------------------------------------------
- David Brison
The Cooma contingent took the long drive to Moruya last Sunday, on a glorious, if sometimes slightly windy winter’s day.
Alpine Motor Group under 18s.
Cooma came out with all guns blazing in the under 18s and in the first set of six hard running centre, Matt Chelin, beat two opposition players to score out wide from the half way line. James Cahill converted. 6-0. With Jake Hedger sidelined for a while with a cramp/cork, sloppy Cooma play let the Moruya full back in to score an unconverted try. 6-4. Moments later one of the Moruya centres burst through next to the ruck and just out stayed Matt Chelin to score. 6-8. Moruya were causing some problems out in the centres, but a penalty to Cooma and some quick hands saw Cooma 5-8. Liam Rankin scored a converted try. 12-8. From the kick off, a fumble by Cooma saw Moruya in for their third unconverted try. 12-12. Just before half time Cooma’s right winger, Declan Gregory, scrambled over in the right corner to take a half time lead 16-12.
After half time Jake Hedger returned to the field, gradually running his cramp out. Both sides were guilty of some sloppy passes and passages of play. Eventually Liam Rankin pounced on a dropped ball near half way and outpaced the opposition to score a converted try. 22-12. Some silly penalties by Cooma allowed in two quick tries to Moruya. 22-22. A scrum on Moruya’s 20m line resulted in some quick hands out to Declan Gregory for his second try, converted by James Cahill. 28-22. With the game still in the balance, forward Bill Zammit made one of his trademark busts and scored a converted try near the posts. 34-22. Moruya had one last chance when their half spotted no Cooma full back at home, his chip for a flying winger was just kicked dead by Bailey Rogers in the nick of time. Player’s player was shared between forward Bryce Watts and five eight Liam Rankin. Bryce picked up 3 points, Bailey Rogers 2 and Liam Rankin and Matt Chelin shared 1 point.

Cooma District Junior Rugby League - Colts Round Six
---------------------------------------------------------------------
South East Tile and Bathroom Under 12s
The South East Tile and Bathroom Centre under 12s played Belconnen Sharks. There wasn’t too much between these teams other than size. The Colts lapsed early and the Sharks attacked and scored through one of their big boppers ploughing through. The Colts muscled up after that and began to knock down the tall timber with good executed tackles. It was a ding dong battle then. On the fifth tackle, Louie kicked the ball through and Mason Turner and Jack Hamilton chased hard with Jack forcing the ball in goal to score. It was locked up at 6-all, until about one minute out from half time when big bopper number two scored for the Sharks, making it 12-6 at half time. The Colts kicked off through a clever kick from Justin McDonald. Louie Mould flew through and got a good bounce and scooted away, dragging a defender with him over to score. The Sharks soon hit back again to lead 16-12 with 10 minutes to go. Our fearless captain, Jack ‘Thumper’ McPherson, copped a crunching tackle from one of their big boppers in the solid clean tackle and was forced from the field. With some other key injuries, the Colts were a bit depleted. The Sharks scored twice more, winning 28-16. The Colts were unlucky with injuries and put up a great fight. Best and fairest points were, 3- Louie Mould, 2-Cooper Inskip, 1- Jack Hamilton. Medal- Cooper Inskip. Choc awards, Jack McPherson and Tallon Kelly.

Bombala and Delegate Landmark ‘celebrate the adventure’
------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Thursday 15 June, clients of Landmark Bombala and Delegate had the chance to speak with a range of regional product representatives and gain specialty advice, tips and recommendations at the Landmark Annual Trade Day. The theme of the day was ‘celebrate the adventure’ and encouraged clients to get involved and celebrate another successful year of rural business on the Monaro.
Following the Trade Day, 148 guests gathered in the Bombala RSL auditorium and heard DPI Rural Resilience Officer, Ted O’Kane, lead a discussion on mental health. Motivational speaker, Justin ‘Jonesy’ Jones, then spoke about his incredible experiences and extreme adventures. Jonesy is one of Australia’s premier motivational speakers who has undertaken a number of large-scale expeditions over the past 14 years. In 2012, he made history by completing the longest unsupported polar expedition of all time, travelling from the edge of Antarctica to the South Pole and back. After skiing an epic 2275km over 89 days, Jonesy and his best mate, Cas, made it into the history books.
In 2008, the pair were the first to kayak from Australia to New Zealand completely unsupported and unassisted. Even after 3 and a half years of planning, they still faced huge challenges, including sharks, barnacles, severe food and sleep deprivation, wasting muscles, adverse weather conditions and equipment breakdown.

Charly heading to LA Fashion Week
------------------------------------------------------
Emerging fashion designer from Cooma, Charly Thorn, is still pinching herself at the news of being invited to showcase her collection at Los Angeles Fashion Week in October this year.
Charly was working from her home-studio last week, looking through emails and thought she came across junk mail.
“Oh my gosh, I think I’ve just been invited to LA Fashion Week,” she yells out.
The news was totally unexpected and Charly still cannot believe it. It was the organisers of the LA fashion show that found Charly and reached out to her.
“I will be showcasing my collection in an international collective show and will also be a part of setting a new world record for the world’s longest runway at 3.3 kilometres.
Charly is looking forward to the experience of meeting industry professionals, fashion influences, bloggers and celebrities from around the globe.
While juggling her two jobs, Charly hasn’t even started the collection yet, although the background work is pretty much covered. She has already designed the collection, yet the process to find a suitable pattern maker has had its complications and has involved a lot of research and numerous meetings.
“I am up to Plan C now, where I just need the collection made. I have a deadline of mid-August and by September, I need to have the media package and footage telling the story about my collection compete and ready to take overseas with me.
Without giving too much away, her Spring/Summer collection is beach/resort inspired. Staying true to her love of natural fibres and recyclable materials, Charly says she has sourced her fabrics locally and will be incorporating Australian merino wool and silk chiffon into her collection. Although selecting to work with delicate fabrics that are difficult to work with, Charly’s passion for sustainable fashion and her ambition to educate younger people on the future of fashion will hopefully shine through in her garments.
“I am using all natural fibres, designing and printing my own fabric. I am conscious of the impact different materials have on our environment,” says Charly.
Charly’s love for design started from a young age, always making things from scratch. She studied conceptual design and fashion in her final years at school that was beneficial in learning about different techniques and fabrics, though, nothing on construction or tailoring was covered so this component has been completely self-taught.

Congratulations charly 😊😊😊
Hudson family says thank you
----------------------------------------------
Adaminaby resident Marwa Hudson is very grateful to her local community.
Four years ago the Hudsons lost their property in a fire and the community has rallied to help them rebuild their lives.
Marwa has this to say:
I would like to say thank you to the community at large for the support you have given me and my family over the last four years.
It has been four years since our house burnt to a crisp. We now have a new home to live in and it’s a dream come true. Never before had we running water or a fridge or a washing machine. Now we are on Clover. It’s been a wild ride. I cannot describe how fast paced life got when I started putting the house up. Absolutely hectic.
From managing the kid’s school, skiing and football, family life and life in general, to learning how to form slabs, mix cement, lay blocks and frame walls, there is so much that needed to be done and time was limited to the extreme.
I have learnt so much and got such an in-depth understanding of what goes into putting a house together.
I am now so empathetic to plasterers. I take my hat off to cabinet makers. The men and women who work those building sites every freezing foggy morning deserve a free coffee when they get on site. I did everything I could on this house site and what a mental head game it was. But the experience has left me feeling like anything is possible. Anyone can build a house. Anything can be achieved if the dream and passion is there.
I would especially like to thank my children for taking care of themselves and me while I worked like a dog to do this. They kept me fed and watered and held me up when I felt I’d over reached. They even learnt a thing or two about desire and tenacity. I am proud of all five of them. Without them this would certainly not have happened.

Not happy, Council!
-------------------------------------
The decision by Snowy Monaro Regional Council to award a recycling contract to an outside contractor has seriously impacted two local businesses.
Burchalls Transport and Recycling of Cooma, which has had the council contract for the past 16 years, and Warren and Wendy of Hampshire Plumbing of Bombala, who had handled council’s waste for more than 40 years are now faced with retrenching staff.
Burchalls will lose at least seven positions and Hampshires at least one job. As Alan Burchall explained, these jobs are presently taken by older workers, who will no doubt find it difficult to find other employment in the local area.
The multiplier effect of those lost wages on the local economy will be significant, especially if the people impacted need to move away to find work or if they need to become recipients of social services payments.
Council has awarded the contract to Remondis Australia Pty Ltd, which does not have a depot within the council region, although the tender document stipulates there must be a depot which council staff can access to inspect. Remondis will need to transport waste and recyclables to Canberra.
Snowy Monaro Regional Council Administrator Dean Lynch has advised Remondis is in the process of identifying a local depot site.
In announcing the new contract, council advised: The tender for the waste and recyclables kerbside collections in Bombala, and the waste and recyclables bulk transportation and management was released to the open market in May for a competitive tender process as required under the Local Government Act.
An independent tender assessment panel reviewed all submissions and undertook a detailed assessment to determine the best option for achieving the required delivery of service for the community.
“General Manager, Joseph Vescio signed the contract on behalf of Council and has advised me that the new contract is the best value option for ratepayers with expected savings in excess of $5 million over five years,” Mr Lynch said. “Council made this decision in the best interests of the ratepayer to minimise the future cost for the delivery of these services.”

When the change happens I will NOT be putting my recycling bin to the curb, I will be taking my recycling out to burchalls yard to keep supporting a local family business and I encourage people to do the same.. support local business show council they made a mistake!!!
Council have decided to take away local jobs and not support local business, all with the excuse of saving money. This does not mean Burchalls Transport & Recycling are going anywhere. We will still provide services to our loyal customers and anyone that would like a commercial waste or recycling service. Keep it local and keep local businesses open.
After 45 years of outstanding service,with a real passion for running on time ,rain ,hail or shine we have been unsuccessful in winning another 5 year contract for the Bombala area(delegate,Cathcart & Bibbenluke) I don't mind telling any body that we had to put our monthly price up by $2000 to cover the costs of the new recycling proposal that would mean over 5 years an increase of $120k.the new tender documents also did not make any provisions for the street bins being emptied every Friday morning & the street sweeping of the cbd.so now what will happen is the bins will now be left to be emptied by no-one.i also would like to point out that the tender documents were split into 2 parts. Part A -Bombala area Part B-removal of recycled waste etc I have contacted the Cooma Monaro regional council via email to ask them what the other competitors prices were , for part A of the contract & guess what? They said they are not able to give that to me.im almost certain this would be under the freedom of information act.wendy & myself feel deeply for Alan & Monica & there many dedicated workers for also providing an outstanding service to the Cooma community for many ,many years.i feel for my late father Brian Hampshire ,who worked tirelessly for 42 of the 43 years before his passing.i could go on about this for ages ,but I'd simply be wasting your time.in closing ,bring on the elections local and state so we can get rid of these people who I consider to be oxygen theives ❤️
Great work council, Cooma cannot afford to lose more jobs, another family owned and operated business down the gurgles.Next weeks Monaro Post headline "Cooma gateway to the Snow is now closed for business" follow the detour signs and take your money else where. 👎
Yep another great idea cooma council, I'll chalk it to my gr8 ideas board, like the smaller waste bin, charging for green waste, making small buisness extra tipping fees, yep you a winner council, sack them all I say.
Once again council giving away local business to outside contractors. If they keep doing this it will kill the town. So much for their "so much to love" motto. Apparently there is so much to love, for out of town contractors anyway.
I have not lived in Cooma for many years, but still call it home. My memories of the "old" council days of local people being elected on the basis of their passion for the local community and the development and success of the whole area. One of my fondest childhood memories was handing out how to vote pamphlets for Reub Armitage at the council elections, and I was proud to do it!! So hopefully next election some new community focused blood that you all will proud to vote for!!!!
Taking jobs away from hard working members of the community that's the spirit Much to love about Cooma I'm beginning to wonder
Seems to be a very short sighted tender decision: The alleged $5mil saved would be lost to the negatively affected local economy. Extra landfill space required at Canberra's Mughal lane? Not like we have much capacity here, and remondis would have to pay the act govt to open up more compartments. Was that factored into the tender? Or will this be a variation! And yes, more trucks on the roads, dunno if waste trucks are setup for long distance haulage. And then, when the act govt waste tenders come up, what happens if remondis are booted? Haul to Woodlawn? Wtf...
Thanks Mr Barilaro for all your hard work in doing nothing to prevent forced mergers. Make sure you take all he has to offer in the latest budget and make sure you vote him out at the next election.
This is classic snowy monaro and snowy river shire councils at their best trying as hard as possible to make life difficult for local small business. If it's not self delegated red tape, threatening or bullying it now is snubbing the locals with their funds...they serve no benefit to the public but are a speed hump to progress and small business...get rid of them!
Which bit of Competitive tender is not understood here, the winning tender is cheaper by 5 million. I will always shop local where I can but I will not pay the ridiculous premiums some local businesses think they can charge, I will always look for value for my dollar and expect no less from Council!
It seems, the Council, does not consider the viability of this region. If Remondis doesn't currently have a local depot, it seems incongruous that they were even considered. Is this another case of decision makers "decisions", being influenced by BIG business or am I just another of the paranoid residents of SMC?
Ohhhh Council, many comments to say about the garbage situation. I bet the Management and representatives are saying "oh, they're talking a whole lot of garbage ". Is this Cooma's greyhound legislation? Are the Nat's building a thumping at the polls for themselves? Do they really believe they will "save" money? Ahhh, if there were only a crystal ball in the chamber, they could, using the technology that no doubt We have paid for, show us why all the commenters are in the negative to this action. If there is truth in what they say, let them show it and quieten the decryers. If they can not, then on their sword they should fall!
Load of shit, 5 million saved over 5 years? Thats 19k a week cheaper, how is that possible? The contract isnt worth 19k a week as it is! Its impossible to save MORE than its worth, the figures are wrong. There is something seriously wrong with this, we are being lied too. Someone somewhere is doing dirty deals, this needs to be openly investigated
Shouldn't local councils support the local people. They say they are going to save money so does this mean our rates are going to decrease?? Money is not everything.
Wow 'so much to L<3ve' in Cooma why would people stay in the area when you have such a backward thinking council that is clearly against the progression of the town. Cooma has gone to from a little booming town in the 80-90s to every second shop front being empty or struggling. I'm happy you put up twinkly light up trees in the park but how about spending that money on say infrastructure something that makes the community better not just a tree look pink? It seems like a no brainer to me but apparently things that directly benefit the local community don't get approved. Weldone council. You should all be sacked and held accountable. I wonder if that 5 mill will work it's way back into the rates. Will we see a reduction in the costs of those services over the next few years? if they were so much cheaper than we were currently receiveing? Or better yet maybe an overseas trip?
Bombala would like to keep it the way it is and keep the money in our town, I don't see how building a new depot and taking rubbish from Bombala to Canberra every week is going to save money, hampshires do a wonderful job and r just a average family like the rest of us who r now losing a business, council also refuse to let them see the tender which they have to do by law, something suss going on here I reakon
I can't believe they would do such a thing. I thought we were all for supporting local jobs and local people! And more trucks on our roads unnecessarily. Fancy taking rubbish and recycling from Bombala area to Canberra every week - how many trips for the whole Council area?
Keep taking the future of our children away... you regressive bunch who were a liability to the government and continue to be a liability to your people.. I am lost for words..
Come on Council, give us your BS reason why you did this. Do you even read these comments or do you keep your head in the sand and hope it all goes away?....????. We will remember at the next election
SO MUCH TO LOVE ❤️ come ON we need Local to keep US all going I'm traveling at the moment & seeing SO MUCH TO LOVE ❤️ right here now each community is Trying Hard to keep it IN THEIR Community's Take a leaf out of their OLD BOOKS 📚
Maybe streets could get together each fortnight and carpool their bins to burchall's yard.... Show the council how you feel. Refuse to pay the extra for disposal rates maybe..?? As you are disposing yourself.
What an absoute disgrace Council, you should be ashamed. I bet our levies don't get reduced as you did say it was cheaper. Please read the deinition of the word "Local"!!!!!!!!!!
They want you to shop local in one breath and put locals out of work in the other. Need to put a broom through them, I heard that one of them"guess who" has had his contract extended for another two years!!!!!god help us.

I wonder if somebody from Cooma could help me with this matter: An old school friend of mine lived in Cooma for a time in the early 1980s. Her name was Dorothy Katherine Rogers. She was a Canadian from Penticton, British Columbia, Canada. Apparently, she also had a sister living in Cooma. She was killed in a car accident, apparently while returning home from skiing. Date: 14 June 1884, or thereabouts. I wonder if anybody reading this would know of the incident. I would be interested to learn more about her time in the area and details about the accident. I'd also be interested to know whether she was interred in Australia or was sent back to Canada. If she was brought back to the Penticton area, I'd like to be able to visit her resting place.
