JCC member Marc cycles through snow training for Worlds
By Karen Forman
While many people including his Jindabyne Cycling Club clubmates were enjoying some early season skiing and boarding on Saturday, Marc Ware was riding his bike up the notorious Beloka climb - in the snow.
Marc, 55, loves snowsports but he is in training for Ironman 70.3 Worlds in Nice, France, in September, having qualified at Geelong.
“I had such a blast at my first Worlds last year in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, that I have to give it another go,” he says. More on page 51 of the Monaro Post.

The Bombala High School participated in the Zone Netball competition which was held at Bega last week. Bombala sent an Open Girls and Under 15 Girls team to this competition.
The Open Girls team started their campaign against Eden Marine High School and couldn’t have asked for a better result with a convincing victory.
The junior team emulated their senior colleagues’ performance with their own impressive win, also over Eden.

Truckloads of cash for Monaro roads
Monaro motorists will benefit from millions of dollars committed to roads in the region in the NSW government budget released last Tuesday.
The Member for Monaro John Barilaro said the budget is the start of a four-year investment in Monaro’s roads.
“We have a clear plan and today’s budget allocation is step one in the roads’ program for 2019 – 2023,” Mr Barilaro said.
Hooray! Marginal electorate.
Good,let's hope some of the money is spent on the Bombala to Brown mountain road.

Petition blows up Jindabyne Noticeboard
The Jindabyne community has rallied behind friendly neighbourhood dog, Henry as he has been asked to move on from his usual sunbaking spot.
Local woman, Dani Kell, grew concerned after not seeing Henry for a few days before being notified of the reason and created a petition online to ‘Bring Henry Back’ to his sunbaking corner where he has previously relaxed for over a year now.
Not even 24 hours after the petition was created, more than 800 signatures had made their way on the petition link and numerous people either from around Jindabyne and beyond have continued sharing the link on social media. Story on page 2.
Such a beautiful boy.
I think they are worried that some tourists will try pick Henry up and take Henry away. I'm shore will be allowed him back after winter.. 🐺❄️
Visitors in the area again????

Big fossil find
Local man Neil Murdoch has made an amazing discovery with a Diprotodon skeleton near Cooma. The fossil is one of Australia’s megafauna which went extinct about 25,000 years ago. Pictured, Mr Murdoch with the fossil and inset, a plaster cast was made by paleontologist, Matthew McCurry. See story page 14.
And here was ME, thinking I was the only fossil around...🙃
That’s fantastic! I’ll start digging. Check out Country Style July.

Bushpigs raise more than $7,500 for hayrunners
-----------------------------------
Saturday June 15 was the annual Jindabyne Rugby Union Club’s charity round where the Lake Jindabyne Hotel Bushpigs took on the Bungendore Mudchooks. The Bushpigs were off to a flying start with Dylan Johnson, proudly sponsored by Leesville Laundry, kicking a penalty goal. The match was neck in neck throughout the first half with tries going to Small Bros Plumbing’s Brandon Nikora and to Focosme’s Lochie Colin, and two conversions to Dylan Johnson. The Bushpigs dug deep in the intensely physical match and the Mudchooks managed to get a late try to bring them ahead 21-17 at the final whistle.

Hat trick at home for Bombala
----------------------------
After a brisk, foggy morning the good crowd was treated to a lovely afternoon at home to watch Bombala Blue Heelers take on Tathra in all three grades.
League Tag
Looking to cement their standing in the comp the girls were all class in a clinical display against the struggling Tathra outfit.
The scoring commenced almost from the outset when with her first touch of the ball Karter Hampshire outpaced the defence to score under the posts. This was to be a sign of things to come as she was to be a threat every time she got the ball. Because of wonderful defence and secure ball control Bombala were able to wedge Tathra in their half for long periods and capitalised during almost every set.
Reserve Grade
Hurting from their last start loss, the lads wanted to get back into the winner’s circle.
After a solid settling in period Bombala were able to mount pressure by controlling the ball and 5/8 Nick Rosten with a lovely short ball put Brett Hodak over from close range with the side leading 6-0 after 10 minutes.
First Grade.
Wanting to prove their gasp draw against Moruya last outing was not a fluke and to keep their finals hopes alive the first grade side overcame a sloppy start on behalf of both sides to score the game’s first points when Suru retrieved a loose pass close to the line to step his way over 6-0.

Tigers win FFA Cup
------------------
Cooma Tigers have written another successful chapter in their long wonderful history, winning the prestigious FFA Cup final for the first time.
The opposition, Canberra Football Club (FC), one of Canberra’s most successful and respected clubs. They are always found at the top of the table winning everything available to them.
On a night which had everything worthy of a great final, the game was a tight free flowing football match in the first 90 minutes. Even with the scores locked at 0-0 there were plenty of attacking raids, desperate last ditch goal line defence and fantastic ball play with brilliant goalkeeping saves. The posts were hit on many occasions deflecting the ball away in one manner or another to keep the game goalless. Both teams had their chances and by the end of full time neither team deserved to lose.
Bring on extra time, a 30 minute delay was called due to a thick fog which fell onto the field right on full time. You simply couldn’t see across the field. Players were called back into the sheds and waited for the referees to make a decision on whether or not to continue. To the credit of the referees and all officials, they were right. The fog cleared and 30 minutes extra time went ahead. Again both teams had their chances and again attacks were either well defended or again brilliantly saved. At times it was end to end stuff. Exciting all the people lucky enough to be involved and present.

Teyarnea raising awareness of mental health
------------------------------------
Raising awareness around mental illness, local photographer Teyarnea Griffis has started a series called ‘Our Story’.
Each week, Teyarnea will release a new ‘episode’ featuring photographs and a story of a person who has survived a mental illness or domestic abuse.
The first episode was Teyarnea’s personal story. “I thought it was important to tell my own story before I told anyone else’s,” says Teyarnea.
“I thought if I did it, others would be more likely to share their story as well.” Having lost her 15-year-old brother to suicide when she was just nine, Teyarnea has experienced severe depression. Teyarnea has attempted suicide multiple times, self-harmed, gone through two abusive relationships and has been institutionalised several times. Here is an excerpt from her episode:
“Adam’s gone to Heaven. At nine years old, those aren’t the words you’d ever expect to hear at around 10pm on a school night. At nine years old you’d never even think of losing your older brother… It wasn’t until high school when I finally had a break down in front of a school teacher. There were kids telling the principal I was self harming in the toilets, and that’s when it was clear I needed help.”

NSW carves its way to safer super snow season
--------------------------------
The 2019 snow season will be the best yet for skiiers, snowboarders and snow enthusiasts with major renovations and upgrades at multiple ski resorts now complete thanks to the NSW Government.
Deputy Premier and Member for Monaro John Barilaro said the NSW Government had managed more than 130 development applications in the Alpine region in the last few years to help create a safe and exciting winter wonderland.
“Projects include alterations and additions to lodges, ski infrastructure, additional snowmaking facilities and upgrades to eateries both on the slopes and within local villages,” Mr Barilaro said.
“Visitors can now enjoy a new $4.2 million Leichhardt Quad Chairlift at Perisher that increases lifting capacity and enables easier access to terrain for children and beginners, and we’ve just given the tick of approval for a $10.7 million Merritts Gondola development in Thredbo.
“The NSW snowfields continue to be Australia’s premier winter wonderland with more than $50 million of potential developments still in the pipeline,” he said.
Read the full story in The Monaro Post.
So what your saying is, the NSW government did nothing but delay developments for a minimum of 4-6 weeks, putting their stamp of approval on already engineer-approved plans, and they are getting the round of applause for this achievement? You guys really set the bar low.
And not allowed 1cm of additional ski area.

Bredbo’s Memorial Niche Wall revealed
---------------------------------------
The Bredbo community saw the official opening of the new niche wall at the local cemetery last Tuesday with 96-year-old Audrey Povey, the towns oldest resident, having the honour of unveiling the memorial wall.
The Bredbo Memorial Niche Wall was first conceptualised as a way of improving the heritage cemetery, which already had a remembrance boulder and rose garden where people can place a remembrance plaque to commemorate the life of a loved one. One thing missing however, was a safe and secure place for people to store a loved one’s ashes, and so the idea for the niche wall came about.
