Going once..... going twice..... third and final call!
After a chilly start to Saturday 11th of May a small group of enthusiasts braved the cold to witness the auction of St Stephens Church in Craigie. With a small number of registered bidders the auction got underway, however the property was passed in before it reached the reserve (perhaps it was too cold to pull hands out of pockets?!) That did not deter the staff of Landmark Harcourts Bombala and they continued to negotiate after the sale until they achieved a price that the vendors were happy with, resulting in the Church now being sold! See more property up for sale from Landmark Harcourts Bombala on page 28.
Old churches make great homes, you can be really creative with them!

Bombala Golf Club hosts Open Tournament with great numbers
.........................................................................................
It was a very busy weekend at the Club with
the Open Tournament being staged.
The weather was absolutely perfect for golf
the first time in many years that the ladies and
men had great days.
The fields on both days were the best we
have had in years, maybe having carts for hire
is encouraging the older players to our hard
course. Results page 54.
Tough task for Devils against Goulburn

Kelly claims seat
.....................................................................................
At the time of going to press yesterday afternoon, Labor’s Mike Kelly had claimed victory in the seat of Eden-Monaro in last Saturday’s Federal election.
The incumbent Labor member, Dr Kelly, was ahead by 1715 votes from Liberals Fiona Kotvojs. Counting was continuing. See more page 3.
What a shame. 😔
Guess Eden Monaro is no longer a bellwether seat. Reckon you've got a really good MP there.
If we have to se more on page 3 YOU have to include page 3.

MEDIA RELEASE
Police targeting rural road trauma in Monaro Police District – Operation Chrome
.....................................................................................
Issued at 1500 16th May 2019
Police from Monaro Police District are launching Operation Chrome this weekend, in order to reduce road trauma and save lives on rural roads in the area.
Operation Chrome will run from Friday 17 and Saturday 18 May 2019.
The operation will utilise police from the Monaro Police District working alongside officers from the Traffic & Highway Patrol Command.
Drivers and riders should expect to see more police on rural roads and highways in Queanbeyan and Cooma over the coming days targeting risky driver behaviours.
Acting Inspector Ben Bowles from the Monaro Police District said drivers need to follow the road rules in order to keep themselves and others safe on our roads.
"Expect to see an increase in police presence, not only on the Kings and Monaro Highways’, but our local town and rural roads. Impaired and speeding drivers will be targeted to keep our road users safe" Acting Inspector Ben Bowles said.
Acting Inspector Ben Bowles said reducing rural road trauma is a priority for police right across NSW.
“Our primary aim is to stop fatal crashes before they happen. To do that, we make no apologies for enforcing the road rules that are the biggest contributors to fatal crashes.
“Road safety is everyone’s responsibility. If every driver or rider takes personal responsibility for their actions, it will save lives. It’s that simple,” Assistant Commissioner Barrie said.

Increase the speed limit on some sections of highways to 110 or 130 in a few cases and you wont get tired and fatigued drivers.
Alison Oakley
David Gaukroger
What about the drivers who do between 80 to 100 km hour until you get to overtaking lane than do 110 to 120 so you have to stay behind there bad habit of hogging the road and not letting you set cruise control on the 100.

Whooping Cough cases detected in Snowy Monaro region - health warning
.............................................................................
A small number of Whooping Cough cases have been confirmed in the Snowy Monaro region in recent weeks, with residents urged to be cautious if they develop cold like symptoms.Despite almost 95 per cent of infants in NSW now vaccinated against the pertussis disease, NSW Health advises that outbreaks still occur every three to four years as community immunity wanes.
While Whooping Cough is not a serious threat to adults or older children, it can lead to dangerous complications for newborn babies or others at high risk.
