Good snow + police tests = traffic chaos

This picture of the traffic jam which grid locked Jindabyne, was taken at 7.30 am on Saturday morning.

Traffic banked up from the Four Mile through Sharp Street on Sunday afternoon. This photo by Tony Sergo. Traffic through the Snowy Mountains was extremely heavy over the weekend as skiers rushed to make the most of the best August skiing conditions for decades. However, the heavy traffic was also impacted on by police drug and alcohol testing in Jindabyne on Saturday morning and at the Four Mile, west of Cooma on Sunday afternoon. Skiers, locals and resort operators have all registered their annoyance at the traffic delays, but Southern Region Commander Assistant Commissioner Kyle Stewart said he made no apologies for running the random drug and breathtesting operations during peak times to make roads safer. “All random breath testing sites undergo a rigorous safety assessment before they are commissioned,” Assistant Commissioner Stewart said. “Would you rather be apologising to your friends and family for being a little late or having to tell them someone they care about has died or been injured in a crash where drugs or alcohol have played a part? “Alcohol is one of the leading causes of crashes that kill or injure people. If you are affected by drugs and/or alcohol you are less likely to be able to control a car. “This risk only multiplies when you factor in the at times unpredictable Alpine weather turning road conditions unfavourable. “Police at the RBT/RDT site this weekend were mindful of the impact of the operation on traffic and vehicle selection was tailored to minimise the impact. “During the weekend operation one person was charged

with mid range PCA, while two people were detected with low range blood alcohol readings. They will all be appearing in Cooma Local Court next month. “Police also conducted 180 random drug tests with three positive detections made. “Four vehicles were issued with defect notices during the operation. Assistant Commissioner Stewart said operations such as last weekend’s were only one of the strategies that are being used in an effort to stem the drug crime within the snowfields. In Jindabyne, the testing on Saturday morning caused lengthy delays when thousands of family skiers were delayed up to one and a half hours in a continuous traffic jam which began at the testing point just past the Barry Way on Kosciuszko Road and led back to Jindabyne Dam wall. One visitor said there was not one impounded vehicle to be seen at the testing point as he and his lively family passed it at 10.30am on the way to Thredbo. A staff member from a resort made the comment below, which really raises the question was this warranted on a Saturday when following the best snow conditions occurred in years, it was most unlikely that many of the drivers of cars filled with children on the way to the snow, would have been out drinking the night before. “I got caught up in the police RBT exercise outside Jindabyne on Saturday - spent one and a half hours getting from Munyang Street and the five blocks to the breathalyser just past the Snowy Mountains Grammar School!

for work along with countless other mountain staff today instructors, lift operators, restaurant staff. “What a disgrace! Imagine how people felt having driven from Sydney, Canberra or anywhere far away, looking forward to their ski weekend after all the publicity put out by the resorts, only to sit in the two-hour police generated traffic jam purely so police could be seen to be apparently controlling drink driving. Anyone with half a grain of sense who had been drinking the night before, would have turned around at the roundabouts anyway to avoid being tested and headed back into town, then go up later once the police had gone! “There is a need to get the message to NSW Police that they need a different location and methodology for random breath testing.” President of the Lake Eucumbene Chamber of Commerce and former Member for Monaro Peter Cochran has offered a simple short term solution to the problems faced by Jindabyne ski traffic exiting the skifields in recent times. “A dual carriageway is needed between Cooma and the skifields through Jindabyne to Perisher and Thredbo to improve safety and access but is unlikely to occur within the next five years and certainly not within the next year. While these roads are at bursting point, the Snowy Mountain Highway to Adaminaby and carpark at Selwyn Snowfields have ample capacity to carry more traffic in times of peak demand,” Mr Cochran explained Continued on page 6...

11th annual Briscoe award New home for community housing Cooma-Monaro mayor Dean Lynch was invited to cut the ribbon to launch the new premises of the Southern Cross Community Housing (SCCH) office in Cooma last Wednesday.

Sponsors Barbara and James Litchfield presented award winner Diana Coventry with her award at last year’s Briscoe Exhibition at the Raglan Gallery. This Saturday will see the opening of the 11th annual Briscoe Art Awards at the Raglan Gallery, Cooma. The awards offer up to $5000 in prize money in several categories. This year’s judge is former Cooma resident, now artistic director of the National Portrait Gallery, Suzi Campbell. Exhibition co-ordinator at the

Raglan, Brigitte Mackay, said at the beginning of the week, there had been 80 entries received, with more expected to arrive prior to Saturday. The Briscoe Award is in recognition of the talent and contribution made to local art by the late John Briscoe. The official opening will take place at 3pm and the usual catering arrangements will be in place.

Last Wednesday saw the opening of the new Southern Cross Community Housing (SCCH) office in Cooma, situated at 57 Massie Street, next door to Workways. Southern Cross Housing was formed when the Monaro Tenancy Scheme merged with South Coast Community Housing in November 2009. This service provides tenants with safe, secure and affordable housing, it’s usually for people on low to moderate incomes in the community and they pay a percentage of their income as rent. “With the opening of this building we are hoping to raise the profile of community housing in the local region and let people know that it is

available,” CEO Marg Kaszo said. SCCH manages the properties of which some are sub leased from local real estate agencies and local home owners, while others are owned by SCCH. This has been possible with the use of grants from the government. SCCH is a charitable organisation and has a volunteer board of directors from various backgrounds, two of whom are from the Monaro. SCCH’s goal is to develop and deliver more affordable housing in the Monaro and work with council to assist those in need of this form of accommodation.

Country Energy has begun work on a $340,000 upgrade that will reinforce the network of powerlines that feed Cooma’s CBD. Regional General Manager South Eastern, Phillip Green, said local crews would move around 100 metres of high voltage powerlines underground on Vulcan Street to avoid the area’s poplar trees, boosting capacity to cater for future growth. “We’re finding better ways to upgrade our network – that’s why we’re moving these powerlines underground in an area where the trees have caused issues with the network in the past,” Mr Green said. “The increased capacity of the new lines will cater for future growth in Cooma, and the system will also be more reliable, with a new ground mounted transformer to replace an older pole substation. “It’s all a part of our drive to improve the value and service we offer our customers across 95 per cent of NSW,” Mr Green said. Country Energy’s Cooma and Jindabyne field crews have already commenced work on the

project, working together to complete the job as quickly and safely as possible, however two localised power interruptions will be necessary to complete the work. “In order to finish this project, Country Energy will need to hold two localised power interruptions, but the small number of customers affected will be notified in writing prior to this occurring,” he said. “Country Energy thanks residents for their patience and understanding as we complete this essential upgrade – once the work is complete they will benefit from a more reliable power supply. “This is just one of many local projects Country Energy is working on in a drive to refurbish rural lines across NSW – we’re investing almost $1 billion across the state this financial year. “It’s not just about ensuring a robust power supply,” Mr Green said. “Upgrading our infrastructure to ensure our network is as safe and reliable as possible just makes good business sense.”

SMEC defeated other finalists ANCA, Ego Pharmaceuticals, Micromine, and Transtar International Freight (Aust). It was a fitting way for SMEC to celebrate its 40th anniversary and trading into its 41st year. It was created as a government business enterprise but in 1993 was subject to a management buyout, in which only employees can be shareholders. Plans to publicly list SMEC this year were put on hold because of the global financial crisis. Since the buyout, SMEC’s worldwide workforce

Good snow + police tests = traffic chaos Continued from page 1... “As dramatically increased traffic flows towards the skifields on these days becomes evident, Police and RTA have the authority to place warnings over local radio stations, UHF CB and roadside signs advising of impending congestion at Thredbo and Perisher and offering alternative locations such as Selwyn Snowfields. All traffic in those circumstance would then have a choice to avoid afternoon chaos,” Mr Cochran said. “Our Chamber fully supports the Jindabyne Community in their call for improved traffic management to relieve the frustration of drivers and the inevitable anger which results WITH GREAT FASHIONS from long lines of traffic.

Thirteen arrested in Jindabyne drug raids Ten men and three women have been charged with a range of drug supply related offences following raids in Jindabyne last Wednesday. Four men were refused bail and faced Queanbeyan and Nowra Local Courts. Of those who appeared in Queanbeyan court, three, Christian Brown, Mark Cochram and Brendan Hedger were refused bail and are now in Goulburn gaol awaiting their further court appearances on October 20. They faced charges of supplying and possessing prohibited drugs. The other male Dean Standage, charged with four supply offences was granted bail to appear again in Queanbeyan court on November 2, 2010. A 26-year-old man was arrested in Alice Springs and is being extradited to Sydney to be charged with 16 supply prohibited drug matters. The remaining three women and five men were granted conditional bail on a range

of offences including knowingly take part in supply; deal with proceeds in crime and other supply related offences. These eight people will all face Cooma Local Court on October 10. Those arrested are six itinerant ski season workers along with three local residents who police allege are involved in supplying large quantities of a range of illicit drugs in the alpine region. At 9.30am on Thursday more than 80 police from the Monaro Local Area Command, Dog Unit and specialist units from Southern Region executed seven simultaneous warrants at various locations including a Jindabyne hotel. Those arrested were: • A 31-year-old woman (seasonal Jindabyne worker) • A 19-year-old woman (seasonal Jindabyne worker) • A 19-year-old man (seasonal Jindabyne worker) • A 19-year-old Nowra man (seasonal

Jindabyne worker) • A 26-year-old man (seasonal Jindabyne worker) • A 19-year-old woman from Neutral Bay (seasonal Jindabyne worker) • A 31-year-old man from Jindabyne • A 24-year-old man from Jindabyne • A 24-year-old man also from Jindabyne The arrests are the culmination of Strike Force Riverbed, a covert investigation which commenced in July last year, investigating the supply of prohibited drugs during the ski season in the Alpine region of the Monaro Local Area Command. Monaro Local Area Commander Detective Superintendent Gary Merryweather said “we began the strike force 13 months ago and as it continued to unfold it became apparent to investigators that there was a significant and wide-ranging drug network operating in the alpine region”, Det Supt Merryweather said. “During the course of the

investigation police seized drugs including MDMA tablets (ecstasy), LSD pills, cocaine, methylamphetamine (speed) and cannabis all with a total street value in excess of $40,000.“We believe there is an entrenched drug culture in certain parts of the region during the ski season and we further allege a sophisticated network has been operating for some time, supplying locals and visitors with significant amounts and various types of drugs.” Det Supt Merryweather said investigations were continuing and further arrests were likely.

Emergency services report Police On Thursday August 26 at 1.20pm a 27-year-old Cooma male was pulled over in Mittagang Road due to the way he was driving. He was breath tested and registered 0.155. He was charged with high range drink driving and his licence was suspended. The same male was later in the morning charged in Queanbeyan with being over the legal alcohol limit. He now faces two charges of high range

drink driving and will appear in Queanbeyan court at a later date. On Sunday August 29, there was a single vehicle roll over on Dry Plains Road near the golf course. The 32-year-old Cooma driver lost control of his vehicle and hit a tree, with a mark in the tree about three metres high from where the car hit it. He apparently went home to get his tractor to retrieve his car and upon his return was greeted by

police and ambulance crews. He was treated the scene for a laceration to his arm, then breath tested where he recorded a positive high range reading of 0.165. His licence was suspended and he will appear in court at a later date. Ambulance A 36-year-old female slipped and dislocated her ankle on Friday. She was taken to Cooma hospital and later transferred to

Canberra hospital for specialist treatment. A 14-year-old boy from Sydney was treated for a neck injury on Saturday. He was transferred from Perisher medical Centre to Cooma hospital. A 57-year-old Sydney female received a fractured lower left leg at mount Selwyn on Friday. She was treated at the scene and taken to Cooma hospital for further treatment.

Another Curley one

Snowy sets record straight Editor I write in response to statements made by Max Talbot in “Pollies need to come clean on Snowy Hydro” [Monaro Post, August 18] wherein Mr Talbot described as “propaganda” certain points in relation to Snowy Hydro’s inability to compete in the electricity market and the threat posed to Snowy Hydro by gas turbines [“Snowy Hydro airs concerns to Opposition”, Monaro Post, August 4]. I would like to try to set the record straight once and for all. The fact is that over the past four years 4000 MW of gas fired power generation has been built in our electricity market. This is equivalent to the total generating capacity of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme. The fact is that in order to keep up with future increases in the demand for electricity, new power stations equivalent to the capacity of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme must and will be built every four years, and will be coal or gas fired. Much of these new power stations will utilise fast start gas turbines because they are currently the best available technology for meeting peaks in power demand. Even our competitors agree on

this. Origin Energy, for example, has forecast that around 6000 MW of new gas turbines will be built over this decade. In terms of meeting the needs of the electricity market, gas turbines can do the same job as the Snowy Scheme’s hydro plant. The fact is that the NSW government-owned electricity generation businesses own 680 MW of operating gas turbines but more importantly hold government approved proposals for a further 5800 MW of gas turbines in New South Wales. All of these are included in the NSW government’s privatisation sale process currently underway, from which Snowy Hydro has been excluded. How damaging is that to the Company! That Snowy Hydro has had success to date, despite the considerable constraints placed upon it, is testament to the quality of Snowy Hydro’s staff. But the fact is that we are competing in a race with our feet tied together. Paul Smyth Executive Officer Planning and Technology Snowy Hydro Limited

Like last Thursday morning, early. The road to the Four Mike was covered in slush and ice, one vehicle had already spun off into a tree and what did The Postman see? Two cars tailgating another

No chains, no care, no brains - had the purple sedan in the lead slipped, or spun out, three vehicles at least would have been affected. If only the RBT had been set up then.

As we Australians sit and wait while our elected representatives ‘negotiate’ an outcome, we could all take the time to reread Gulliver’s Travels. Parliamentary practises in that small tome may well be the way the future is decided.

At the very least, it may make us all reconsider how we eat eggs. Speaking off eggs- anyone with a few chooks in their backyard will soon be laughing as the great Australian egg shortage hits us. Apparently now the Heart Foundation has given the

nod to higher per week egg consumption (six now, not two), there’s a bit of a shortage of cackle-berries with demand outstripping supply. Not only are chooks great for laying eggs, they make unbelievably effective recycling units and garden assistants.

UNIVERSITY OF THE THIRD AGE

Wednesday September 1, 2010

Badja crafts - woodwork with passion

TEACH | MEET PEOPLE | ENJOY LIFE | SHARE | LEARN Are you looking for an opportunity to meet with like-minded people in your community? Are you interested in hearing stimulating talks? Are you keen to keep your mind active and learn French or Mandarin or computing or astronomy or Tai Chi or Italian or German or how to do it yourself or music appreciation or discussing a variety of subjects or . . . .? Or, maybe you can tutor a group in your special subject. If this sounds attractive to you and you are in what is known as the Third Age then the local chapter of the University of the Third Age, or more conveniently U3A, may be just what you are looking for. The Snowy Mountains U3A is part of the worldwide movement that was founded in France in 1973 to provide educational stimulus and support for older people. In its home country it was connected with the universities hence its name. However, when it arrived in Britain in 1981 the universities there had no means to become involved so it became an autonomous organisation still dedicated to the original French concept. U3A, based on the British model, came to Australia in 1984 and to the Snowy Mountains in 2006 when people who had been involved in other regions formed the local chapter. U3A chapters are autonomous self-help organisations. They are run by volunteers and aim to tap the great reservoir of skills, knowledge and experience found among older people which is often undervalued and overlooked. Members are encouraged to participate by being involved as a learner in one of the many groups or as a tutor to lead a group in a subject with which they are familiar. There is no hierarchy as a learner in one group can be a leader in another. New groups can be formed whenever there is a demand and somebody to lead them. In April next year the NSW U3A Network will hold its conference in Sydney at which the featured speaker will be Dr Barry Jones, the former member of Parliament and quiz king, who in his book A Thinking Rees wrote, “I entered the Third Age in 1996 on ceasing to be a Member of the Australian Parliament. My ambition is to spend the longest possible time in the Third Age and the shortest in the Fourth.” If you have a similar ambition then maybe the Snowy Mountains U3A can help. For information contact the Honorary Secretary, Coral Ordish on 6456 4707.

“THOSE WHO TEACH SHALL LEARN, AND THOSE WHO LEARN SHALL TEACH” Research has shown that as we get older, it is important to maintain our physical and mental health, and that mental stimulation can contribute to your health and stave off conditions such as Alzheimer’s. The University of the Third Age keeps your mind alive. U3A originated in France in 1973, crossed the Channel into the United Kingdom and from there spread throughout Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

Since retiring from the world of real estate about five years ago, Peter Mitchell has taken up his hobby of woodwork with a passion. He has been involved with woodwork since a teenager and finds great satisfaction and pleasure from the products he produces. His fervour is for making toys, which he originally started making for his grandchildren. Now that his grandchildren are getting too old for his toys he would like to make them for other children. The toys come in a range of vehicles from trucks, forklifts and cars to toys that teach. There are dolls cradles for the girls or toy boxes to store their ‘stuff’ in. He makes a selection of roofs, walls, trees, dog kennels and the like so your child can use their imagination and create their own little village. There are rocking horses and rockosauros’ as well as furniture, just about what ever you can imagine. They are made from a variety of Australian hardwood that Peter carefully selects, usually from Tasmania where he buys a log and brings

it home on his ute. He then leaves it to dry for a couple of years before working with it. “These type of toys are not just for the kids but for everybody and by doing this it keeps me active, occupied and I love my hobby, it’s a creative outlet as well,” said Mr Mitchell. “Lambie Street Pre-School has some of my toys and the teachers always say the kids go for the wooden toys first. The toys will last a lifetime, as well as being able to be handed down to different generations. The toys are for ‘open play’making the kids be creative, use their fine and gross motor skills as well as thinking about what they have to do.” The toys are suitable for children from ages one year and up and are available from Peter Mitchell. All are made to order and you can contact him on 6453 3265 or email badjacrafts@bluemaxx.com.au Keep a look out on Peters ad in the Monaro Post for when he launches his website.

Bombala community group granted funding support NRMA Insurance has announced Creewah Bushfire Brigade as the recipient of a 2010 Community Grant, providing the local organisation with funding to the value of $5,000 for its Fireshed Water Supply project. The project will purchase a Stabfast Stabilisation System to aid rescue workers when responding to a road accident. A community education demonstration of equipment will be held. Bombala NRMA Insurance spokesperson Mike Cottrell said the Community Grants program was designed to assist local community groups in building safer communities. “Each year we encourage community organisations that fit the criteria to apply and it’s fantastic to see Creewah Bushfire Brigade be successful this year. “The Community Grants program provides NRMA Insurance with an opportunity to

work closely with communities to address local issues and we’re proud to support organisations that work to make their community safer,” said Mr Cottrell. This year across NSW, 73 groups received Community Grants, with NRMA Insurance investing around $300,000 into local initiatives. Since the program’s inception in 2003, there have been more than 1,000 recipients nationally totalling more than $4 million. The Community Grants program supports local organisations working to make our communities safer. Community organisations can apply to receive a grant in the areas of road safety, crime prevention, emergency readiness and response or environmental initiatives. More information about the Community Grants program is available by calling into the Bombala NRMA office or by visiting www.nrma. com.au

Riposte Lisa Ashurst What is it about Solitaire that makes it so addictive? You know, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sitting in front of the computer needing to work and your mindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a blank and dum de dum de...I know, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll play a few rounds of Solitaire to get the brain cells working and before you know it, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent the best part of the morning clicking on cards. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got two versions on my computer and both get a workout from time to time and it must be the most time wasting game I know, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun. Apparently there are a lot of versions of this game and Daughter has around 20 of them. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all well and good but why so many? Each one is just a little bit different I guess. As it turns out though, Daughter and I are not the only ones caught up with this game. I saw a snippet in one of the papers where one company had deleted the game from the office computers because staff were also caught up in it and were spending as much time playing Solitaire as they were working and it was getting out of hand. Well thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair enough I suppose but maybe it also says something about the job too and

the management might have been better off looking at ways to make the work more fun than the cards. No, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right, just delete the game. Those who work from home however donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the luxury of a higher-up coming along and deleting all the fun from their home computer and like, people working from home are going to do it to themselves? Of course theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not! I know I would get a bit testy if I insisted that my Solitaire games had to go so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not doing it and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care, so there! But I never thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get addicted to a computer game, especially one as basic as Solitaire but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m coming clean here and admitting it. Apparently part of the cure is admitting you have a problem and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m finding that when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m blanking out on what to write next I use it as an excuse to go into the game and, well, you know where it goes from there. If I could just play a couple of rounds and then get back to work it would be okay but I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m as bad as the next addict who thinks â&#x20AC;&#x153;just one more and then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll quitâ&#x20AC;? because, like everyone else whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hooked on this card game, â&#x20AC;&#x153;just one moreâ&#x20AC;? is an just excuse to keep on playing. On the other hand, maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not such a bad thing after all. It actually did give me something to write about...!

Retire Sooner with REAL WEALTH Most people believe being wealthy is out of reach and only for the rich. In fact everyday Australians can create real wealth and retire sooner with minimal effect on their household cash flow, example $50 per week to return $200,000 to $300,000 in five years. We all need to do something about our own future as Australian Bureau of Statistics state that over 90% of Australians will retire on the poverty line. You don’t need to be a statistic, we know there will be no pension in the future, and Super funds are not going to be sufficient and money halves in value every seven to ten years. Investing in property the right way has proven to be a safe, secure and successful investment vehicle in Australia for the past 100 years. Between 2011 and 2015 experts are predicting Australia’s next big property boom, due to rapid population growth, a resource boom and a growing house shortage (approx 250,000). Local Cooma resident Peter Ingram is a Property Investment Adviser for Starcopy (Est. 1994) & WPG (Est. 1966) educating everyday Australians how to build real wealth through a property portfolio. Achieved easily, with no stress once you know the inner knowledge and the 6 critical points to Property Investment.

Peter would like to invite locals to a FREE Property Investment Workshop in Cooma on Sept 14 at the Alpine Hotel. What you will learn.............. • The 6 critical points to successful property investment • How to achieve Maximum Capital Growth , Tax Benefits, & rental income • How to invest in 5 star turnkey houses in Blue Ribbon Master Planned Estates at wholesale prices! (No middle man-buy direct) • How to take the risk out of investing-with tried tested & proven systems. • Use property experts to avoid the mistakes others make. • Property cycles - where & when to invest for sustained growth • How to buy 6 homes over 10 years and at year 12 have net assets of approx $3Million and income of $70,000 p.a.

Telephone: 096 823

64526957 or call Peter on 0430

Leading Edge Electronics & Jaycar Electronics to Cooma

On the 1st of September 2010 an era closes and a new one opens with the iconic Dick Smith Electronics signage disappearing from 48 Vale St Cooma after 5 wonderful years (to the day!). This has been caused by the decision by Dick Smith Electronics to re-align its business profile and move towards bigger shops and different products.

However the old Dick Smith business is being immediately replaced by an exciting new store front bearing the Leading Edge Electronics and Jaycar Electronics names! So what will change? - Apart from the signs and the uniform there will be very few changes and what there is will be for the better. The new business will be under the same local ownership of the Sutcliffe family and all the current staff will also remain in place. Whilst the new business can still stock and sell all current Dick Smith Electronics products we also now have access to products from over 65 other major manufacturers suppliers and distributors.

Bombala hosts regional development meeting Last Tuesday and Wednesday Bombala Council welcomed Regional Development Australia Southern Inland (RDASI) Committee Members to the region. RDASI is one of 55 committees appointed across Australia in a unique partnership between Federal, State, Territory and Local Government to strengthen regional communities. RDA members are all volunteers and have been appointed on the basis of their skills and expertise in various fields, and their ability to provide perspectives from many aspects of regional communities including community groups, business and local government. Their primary purpose is contribute to the delivery of better services across their regions. RDASI covers 14 Local Government areas from Bombala to Wingecarribee, Young and Tumut. Over the two days a comprehensive program of field trips and opportunities for local community representatives to meet the visitors was organised so that they could gain an insight into the current and coming challenges and opportunities affecting the Bombala Local Government Area. The group enjoyed a meeting with Bart Crawley at TASCO and a site tour of the present mill and proposed site for the new mill, plus Monaro Logging operations including inspection of a current logging site. Delegate was also visited to investigate the comprehensive infrastructure available and the possibility of a new housing subdivision, to encourage more people , including workers

and families and tree changers, to the town. This busy program culminated on Wednesday morning with the RDASI Committee meeting with Bombala Council and representatives from the timber industry, agriculture and Delegate Progress Association. This meeting was a great opportunity for the RDASI Committee to gain an even better understanding of current and upcoming activity in the region, and potential avenues for RDASI to pursue specific involvement and provide support in areas such as agriculture production and processing; timber forestry, production and processing; and tourism in relation to Harvest House and the Bundian Way. A big thank you from RDASI Executive Officer Colin McLean and Chairperson Ken Prendergast to Karen Cash and local Committee member, Jayne Sellers, for organising the visit and to all community members who participated in the welcome lunch; to community and business people who hosted field trips (including Janice Rumph at Delegate MPS, Doreen Standen at the History Room and Robin Guthrie at the Early Settlers

?Who’s @ ? Polo?Flat industrial ? ? Estate? ?

Hut); to community and business people who attended the Tuesday evening dinner, and particularly to John Jeffreys, Sue Haslingden, Mark Chaplin and Ian Sellers who gave presentations at Wednesday’s joint meeting. RDASI and local stakeholders are already planning another meeting in the near future

Claire’s Gardening notes for September With Claire Caldwell of Cooma Gas & Garden Supplies One season ends, another begins, as we see September bring the beginning of the spring season. August saw the snow gods really return with a vengeance with multiple dumps of snow in the mountains and a few showers for the rest of the Monaro area. Hopefully they will retire again until next winter and let some warmer days come along – with some reasonable rain days thrown in. The landscape should begin its transformation from the dull colours and bleak scenarios of winter into the more vibrant colour palette of spring – green leaves on deciduous trees – pink and white blossom on many trees both fruiting and ornamental – bright yellows, pinks, whites and blues of spring bulbs and shrubs. It really is a month of spectacular changes in our colder climate. Of course, for the keen gardener, there is plenty to occupy time in the garden. PLANTING. Probably the most enjoyable activity, and the one that everyone associates with spring, is planting out new plants and seeds including the following:Vegetable seeds and seedlings; Trees and Shrubs; Perennials; Potted Colour; roses; Climbing Plants; Herbs. Vegetable and Herb seeds and/or seedlings for planting in September:Onions, Carrots, Parsley, Lettuce, Parsnips, Thyme, Silver Beet, Radish, Marjoram, Spinach, Cabbage, Coriander, Beetroot, Mint. The frost tender vegetable seeds can be planted now but will need protection once they have germinated. Seedlings can be planted in hothouses or somewhere that is completely protected from frost. Flowers (annuals) for planting now:Pansy, Petunia , Alyssum, Dianthus, Snapdragons, Sweet Peas, Cosmos, Linaria, Viola.

Almost every type of tree and shrub can be planted during this month in to previously well prepared ground – including many that will come into spring flowering eg. SHRUBS Daphne, Forsythia, Spiraea, Osmanthus, Bottlebrush, Wattle, Grevillea, Camellia, Rhododendron, Viburnum. TREES Flowering ornamental Cherries; Flowering ornamental Plums, Weeping Cherries, Weeping Crabapples, Crabapples PERENNIALS. Most perennials will begin their new season of growth and flowering. Aquilegia, Foxgloves, Penstemons, Lavender, Daisies GROUND COVERS AND CLIMBERS will also show signs of growth and flowering as well such as:Alpine Phlox, Wisteria, Armenia, Clematis, Grevilleas, Honeysuckle, Candytuft, Arenaria, Banksia Rose. ROSES will begin to make plenty of new growth, which should result in many beautiful flowers later in the season. If you haven’t pruned yet then this will need to be done ASAP. SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS and herbaceous perennials are also available for planting now:Gladioli corms, Paeony Roses, Red Hot Pokers, Liliums. FRUIT TREES - Get in fast to get bare rooted fruit trees and berries as these will also need to be planted ASAP. Still available are plums, cherries, apricots, nectarine, peach, fig, peacharine, dwarf peach and nectarine, strawberries, currants, gooseberries, blueberries and red and white currants. FERTILISING. established garden. feed with a suitable lawn food. For the

when you are in the store. WATERING. As the weather warms and the spring winds arrive, keeping the garden well watered will be essential in the spring to give the plants a good start for the season. Think about installing a water wise watering system. To aid with water retention give garden beds an application of a soil wetter or use a clay breaker on very heavy clay soils. This will aid in water penetration. Also MULCH – MULCH – MULCH as this reduces evaporation from the soil thus reducing the frequency of watering. PEST AND DISEASE WATCH. As always these problems will arise as the weather warms up. Aphids love the soft new growth on any plants so keep checking regularly and deal with immediately. This goes for scale insects. Curly leaf fungus on fruit trees ( peaches and nectarines) if the buds haven’t burst, then this needs to be done ASAP. Woolly aphids will attack apples, crabapples and pears – will need to use confidor spray. Rose fungus diseases – implement a regular spray regime alternating the spray used. NEW IN STORE.

Middle View Poll Merino field day A good crowd of people gathered at Bob and Mikala’s Middle View Merino Stud to witness two and three year old poll merino ewes being shorn. All the sheep had current fibre diameter tests on them so the fleeces were weighed after skirting and then valued by Gordon Litchfield and Sam Green. They averaged 5.3 kilograms of 18.3 fleece wool which returned an average return of $42.98 per head after each fleece had been skirted. The most profitable ewe for the day was tag number 639 coming in at $52.54 with a 6.6 kg cut of fleece wool. This ewe also had been scanned with twins inside her so a conservative total value of this ewe would be very close to $450 taking into account the ewe value as well as the wool and lambs. Rising one-year-old rams were also penned with a good selection of polls. The heaviest of these were 74 kgs at six months of age and carrying a good quality fine – medium wool. Bob and Mikala would like to thank everybody that came along and remind them that the 20th Middle View on property ram sale is on Tuesday November 9 at 5:30pm inspection from 2pm. Enquiries and pre sale inspections are very welcome. Phone 64566744 or email bobandmikala@harboursat.com.au.

32 News NSW Farmers’ Association appoints new CEO The Board of the NSW Farmers’ Association has announced Matt Brand as its new Chief Executive Officer. NSW Farmers’ Association President Charles Armstrong said Matt Brand will bring skills to the Association that will strengthen its voice in both government and commercial sectors. “On behalf of the Board of NSW Farmers’ Association, I welcome Mr Brand to his new role and look forward to working with him to drive our industry forward,” Mr Armstrong said. Matt Brand has an extensive background in marketing, advocacy and lobbying government. He currently holds the position of General Manager Marketing and Strategy at Australian Rugby Union (ARU). Mr Brand holds a Bachelor of Applied Science (systems) Agriculture and Masters of Business - Marketing.

Charles Armstrong says the Association has conducted a thorough search to appoint its new Chief Executive Officer and looks forward to Mr Brand taking up his new role. Australian Rugby Union Managing Director and CEO John O’Neill said ARU congratulates Matt on his appointment and he certainly leaves with our best wishes to what is a new challenge and a major responsibility at the NSW Farmers’ Association. “We are sad to see him leaving the organisation after more than three years but we also understand the opportunity offered to him was too good for Matt to turn down at this point in his career,” Mr O’Neill concluded. Matt Brand will take up his position with the NSW Farmers’ Association in October.

Farming and politics in the spotlight WITH three regional Independent MPs thrust into the role of deciding the next federal government, agricultural policies will be forefront in the minds of all political parties. Whichever way the cards fall over the days and weeks ahead, farming issues and policies will be under intense scrutiny. The timing couldn’t be more critical for all political parties to reinforce their vision for Australia’s farm sector, with the National Farmers’ Federation’s (NFF) 2010 National Congress just a few days away – running over September 6-7 in Melbourne. As things stand with caretaker conventions still in place, Federal Agriculture Minister Tony Burke will go toeto-toe with his Shadow, National Party MP John Cobb, and Australian Greens’ Deputy Leader Senator Christine Milne, putting agricultural policies front-and-centre. Their titles may change, but each will share their vision for Australia’s farming future and discuss the issues and priorities they think are needed to take the sector, and Australia, forward over the next three years. This is a unique opportunity for farmers, agribusiness leaders, agricultural teachers and students, whole-ofchain partners and experts across the broad spectrum

of agriculture to hear first-hand from key decisionmakers, quiz them and judge their responses. Day Two of the Congress will see Federal Water Minister Penny Wong explain the Government’s water reform agenda and how it impacts farmers, while Opposition Water Spokesman Senator Barnaby Joyce and South Australian Senator Nick Xenophon will address their alternative approaches and issues. Will the next federal government get the agriculture and environment balance right? At National Congress we’ll find out. This will be a high profile, high octane event, affording opportunities for the major parties to canvass their policy intent and put those attending the Congress ringside in making up their own minds. Each session at the National Congress includes 20 minutes for questions from the floor, so delegates – farmers and others attending – can put their questions directly to decision makers. The NFF’s 2010 National Congress runs over September 6-7 at The Grand Hyatt in Melbourne. All details, including registration and the full Congress Program, are available from the official Congress website.

The Keneally Government has invested $250,000 in a mechanised sowing machine and equipment, to fasttrack production of six million containerised seedlings for the pine forests of NSW. “This is great news for the hardworking communities all over NSW who depend on the timber industry for their livelihoods,” Minister for Mineral and Forest Resources, Paul McLeay said. “Introducing mechanised sowing at Tumut’s Blowering Nursery is a much more efficient approach – and provides a huge head start in establishing the 2010 crop,” he said. “It means we can plant more seedlings, and more survive. It also improves workplace safety in the nursery by mechanising tasks that used to be done manually,” he said. “This has helped us secure an ongoing supply of timber for our customers and a sustainable future for the industry.” Most of the seedlings would be planted NSW’s main pine areas in the South West Slopes and the Central West of the state. More than four million pine seedlings are now in the

process of being planted in the Tumut, Batlow and Tumbarumba areas. The planting, which will cover around 4,200 hectares of existing pine areas – equivalent to over 10,000 football fields – will be finished in the next few weeks. Through investment in technology like the new sowing machine, the Keneally Government is also planting the seeds for the long-term sustainability of the forestry industry. Background information: • Of the six million containerised seedlings produced in the Tumut area, two million were transferred for planting in the Central West around Bathurst, Orange and Oberon and in the north of the State around Walcha and Nundle • In addition to the mechanised sowing line, associated extra equipment included: - lateral movement lifts - transfer carts - production shed - vacuum pumps - and compressors.

Spring suits sheep measles While there is good money in sheep and lamb production, there are hidden issues that can rob you of profit. Sheep measles is one of these. You have no indication at all when sheep measles are affecting your sheep, but when the sheep go to slaughter you may have part or all of some carcases condemned due to this infection. Sheep measles is a name given to cysts within the muscle tissue of sheep. They are an intermediate stage in the life cycle of a dog tapeworm and they cause no ill health in the sheep. So producers will not have any outward sign of a problem in their stock. In home kills, the cysts if present can be most easily seen on the flaps, diaphragm, cheeks, and heart. However, all muscle tissue can be affected. “Sheep measles have been around for a long time, but recent abattoir studies show that more flocks and more animals are infected than they were a year ago”, Southeast Livestock Health and Pest Authority, District Veterianry Surgeon Chris Haylock, said. “Producers need to spend some money on dog worm tablets to reverse this trend”. Sheep measles are an issue because of meat quality. They are not a risk to human health; they are simply unsightly and possibly a bit gritty, so they affect eating quality. Part of the reason for more detection at abattoirs will be because inspectors, processors and consumers

are getting tougher as lamb becomes a high value product. The trend to older lambs gives more time for the cysts to form and calcify within the muscle. Treatment is simple enough, but it has to be regular. If your dogs are fed any raw sheep or goat meat, or have access to carcases they must be regularly tapewormed. If you can freeze the dogs’ meat for two weeks, this will destroy the cysts and this could help reduce the problem. Cooking fresh meat is also recommended. Regular worming, though, is the most important part of control. Wild dogs will certainly carry the sheep measles tapeworm, but foxes are only rarely infected. Farm dogs are the main source of the problem. Any dog that has ever been fed fresh sheep or goat meat could be carrying the sheep measles tapeworm. So don’t forget the house dog, contractor’s dogs and visitor’s dogs as potential carriers of the tapeworm. Insist that they too are treated for tapeworm before entry to your property. Get your dog worming program up to date now, with a product that contains praziquantel to kill tapeworms (including hydatids). There are numerous such products on the market. As the weather warms up, infection is more likely and a new crop of lambs will be infected. To stop tapeworms developing to an egg laying stage, you need to treat dogs every six weeks. Very few farmers worm their dogs this often and this is a major issue in sheep measles control.

Bollards prove very successful Lisa Ashurst Bredbo residents are very pleased to see how successful the placement of bollards around the perimeter of the Village Green have been in preventing visitors to the Village from turning off the highway and driving straight into the Park. Bredbo’s Centennial Park is for pedestrians only but some drivers have been entering the park in their vehicles instead of parking along the side of the highway and this has caused concern among the local residents.

On Friday evening August 6, in celebration of Education week 2010, Bombala High School, Bombala, Delegate, Bibbenluke and Ando Public Schools and St Josephs School hosted a brilliant combined schools ‘Visual Arts Festival’. Our Multipurpose hall was brought to life with hundreds of colourful artworks on display. Students from the district produced some exceptional pieces ranging from self portraits, collages, printmaking, photographs, drawings, paintings and clay creations, just to name a few. The majority of the artworks were for sale on the evening and some outstanding pieces were auctioned for a phenomenal amount of money! Bombala High School’s Art teacher, Ms Victoria Morris donated one of her beautiful paintings that raised more than $500.

The aim of the night was to raise funds for next years Art, Drama and Music extravaganza. The event was very well supported with over 150 people in attendance. It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase the outstanding talent of our Bombala district students. On behalf of the Bombala High School I would like to thank the principals, teachers and students of the participating schools, our wonderful auctioneer Todd Haebich, Raelene Stevenson and Mrs Glad Hurley for the catering, Mike Kelly, Ms Victoria Morris, event coordinator Jo Jones, Robyn Mikula and to our fantastic community for supporting this event.

The new twilight operating hours will suit those that have been on the hill in the morning and still have energy to burn in the afternoon. September will be the last chance for skaters to skate in Jindy as SuperGlide will be skating and toe turning to a new summer destination after the October long weekend. The new general skating times for the remainder of the season are: Monday: Closed Tuesday and Wednesday: 2-6.30pm Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday: 11am- 6.30pm

Groups of six or more can still book outside these times for parties and end of season get togethers by calling Richard on 0419 222 357. Hockey enthusiasts are invited to head to the rink any afternoon from 5-6pm (closed Mondays) and participate in a game of superglide hockey – your last opportunity this winter season to see why they call ice hockey the toughest game in the world.

Bombala’s zone basketball champions The U15 Bombala High Boys team became the Eurobodalla Zone Champions on August 3 in Bega. This outstanding result is a consequence of the hard work that the team and coaches have undertaken. Originally more than 25 boys trialled for the team and a team of 10 was selected. Bombala’s Youth officer, Kyle Abbott, made the selection. Kyle has a large amount of basketball experience and it is extremely beneficial to have someone of his calibre coach the boys. Terry Ingram has also spent a lot of time assisting with the coaching and keeping statistics. The commitment the boys put into this venture included training during the school holidays, after school and at lunch times. Their skill level has improved greatly and their game play is a credit to their dedication. The day began with the Bombala boys beating Monaro by a very large amount. Their winning way continued with another large win against Eden Marine High. The boys then competed in back to back games against the toughest two teams of the day. They went down narrowly to Moruya High, which meant they had to beat Bateman’s Bay High to make the final. This team has some every outstanding players including one member who was a member of the NSW Open Schoolboy’s team last year. After a very stressful and nail biting 20 minutes Bombala won by 1 point. The boys then played Bega High and won by their largest margin of the day. The final was played against Moruya High. Three of their

team members play at representative level in the Southern Junior League completion. Their coach is also well known in the basketball circuit for his outstanding efforts. The Bombala boys were not put off by this. All of the hard training and belief in each other as a team came together in this game. The boys supported each other and played a high level of organised basketball. Brody and Keiren shot a high number of jump shots early to get the team a small lead. Matt and Lindsay rebounded amazingly. Zac organised the team very well and gave great direction. Lawrance made two very important intercepts that prevented Moruya from scoring. Bailey and Harley worked very hard in the ‘press’ allowing the bigger boys to get into position and set the play. In the last 20 seconds of the game Scott Hepburn took an offensive charge that was astonishing; the boys will continue to talk about this for a long time to come. Kurt then got hold of the ball and held it for the last 16 seconds enabling the Bombala boys to win by 4 points. The boys now compete in the Regional Championships at Bomaderry on September 14. A special mention must also be made of Lachlan Murray. He has been at every training session and filled in where ever is needed. His loyalty to the team is a credit to him. The team and coaches would like to say thank you to him for his efforts. Thanks also to the Bombala Basketball Association for the loan of the playing tops.

Cooma rifle club The last two Saturday mornings have had good turn ups of members and visitors but the icy south to southwesterly winds proved very discouraging. On August 21 shooting from 300 yards was abandoned and on August 28 only a few shooters braved the conditions from 400 yards. The event was scheduled to be the August shoot for the annual Club Championship and Gregory Shield competitions but these may be deferred. In spite of the wind and bitter cold

last Saturday Don Robb shot a single stage possible of 50.6 a remarkable effort in his total score of 96.8. Visitor Roger Avis had more trouble with the wind and shot 76.1. The marker nearly froze while other members huddled in their cars causing caustic comments about fair weather shooters. The annoying thing is that just after shooting was finished the wind stopped and it became a nice day. Next Saturday shooting will be from 500 yards as long as there isn’t an Antarctic southerly.

Mighty Under 10’s In what was undoubtedly their toughest game of the season the mighty High Country Hyundai under 10 Red Devils are through to the grand final next week, playing arch rivals Jindabyne. This being their first year together and for most of the team the first time they have played rugby this is a remarkable achievement. They are also the only Red Devils team to make it through to the grand finals in 2010 – amazing work boys and coach Campbell! The boys went out strongly and scored not long after kick off, but appeared to relax a little too much and

Burgmann were quick to respond to the gaps and scored themselves. The remainder of the first half was very tough and coach Campbell Young found himself telling the boys to stay strong and play hard in the second half. After a ref change during the second half of the game, things ran much more smoothly and the full time score was 17 all. The ref of the game told the Cooma boys they had made it through to the grand final, but another ref said they had to play an extra five minutes each way and then if the score

was still tied Cooma will have won. In the first five minutes of extra time the boys played like they had never played before and scored then converted. They were now leading 24-17 and all they had to do was keep Burgmann out for the remaining five minutes. In a well played tough 10 minutes of extra time the boys kept the opposition out and held onto their well deserved win. Next week’s starting time has been changed from 8.30am to 9.30am at Nicholls and the bus will be leaving Centennial Park at 7.00am.

The Cooma Rugby Union Football Club Would like to congratulate the Bombala Blue Tongues for reaching the Grand final of the South Coast Rugby Competition to be played this Saturday. Good luck.

Colts straight into grand final Under 10’s Cooma colt’s under 10’s played Woden Weston on Sunday in the major semi-final winning the game 18 points to 12 points, taking them into the grandfinal. It was a tough opening first 10 minutes, but Dylan Van Gemert found the line and Lachlan Inskip converted. Woden hit back with a try taking the score to 6 all. The boys defence was out standing on the day which kept Woden from getting across the line, and a few great runs from James Cahill, Joel Saville and Luke Day, lead to Dylan Van Gemert crossing the line for the second time. James Hill made a try saving tackle in the corner to keep the boys in front. The boys came out strong in the second half with Dylan Van Gemert scoring his third try, Lachlan Inskip made some great cover defence helping James Hill to score taking the score to 18 points to 6 points. Great scrambling defence from the McDonald triplets, Jack Reid, Josh Dwyer/ Gersak and Connor Inskip, Thomas Hain. With Woden attacking Bill Zammit defused

Under 11’s The Under 11’s Colts played Yass in the major semi-final in Canberra on Sunday.

Tigers div five into semis The quarter-final provided plenty of excitement for the big Cooma crowd that assembled at the University of Canberra on Saturday afternoon; Cooma knowing they would have their work cut out for them if they wanted a result. A slow start by the Tigers gave Belwest the early attacking edge, but Cooma always looked dangerous on the counter attack with the speed and guile of Ben Lollback, Cameron Wall and Tim Jordan. Against the run of play James Douglas scored with a neat chip into the top left hand corner, giving himself his first goal of the season. The game swung into Cooma’s favour, and the Tigers were peppering the goal with shots. At half time the boys a g r e e d that they needed more then a one goal lead and settled early in the second half and kept the pressure on the Belwest defence. C o o m a ’ s structure looked better on the field, and it paid off mid way through t h e

second half with Andrew Bobinskas giving Cooma their second goal of the game. This goal hit hard on Belwest, and before long James Douglas had put a monster through ball on to Cameron Wall, who slotted home a calm finish to assure a semi final for Cooma. Coach Walker said “We started slow in the first half and we w e r e lucky to have such a tight defence in Mark C h e n e r y, Brendan Wall, Benny Baker, and Steven Murphy. If it wasn’t for these boys we may not be seeing a semi final. Three good finishes sorted it out in the end. We will continue playing an allout attack style and hopefully we will get a grand final spot.” Best on field: Ben Lollback, James Douglas, Steven Murphy and Mark Chenery. A big ‘thank you’ to all the local support that was there for us on the weekend; the semi will be a t Hawker Playing fields this Saturday.

Division 5 Cooma Tigers

Cooma Tigers supporters cheered the Division 5 boys to victory on Saturday

Tigers 2-1 win over City This was an excellent weekend for the Tigers, to match the beautiful weather. The PL 16 drew 2-2 in one of the best football games displayed this year. Since some of the young Tigers started training with the premiers, their self esteem has improved as well as their football. The PL 18 was the only defeat for the Tigers this weekend. This defeat did not affect their place in the semi finals, however. The Pathways Tigers beat Canberra City 4-2 but did not make the semi-finals. The win, however, was a great way to finish the season. Well done boys. The Premiers Tigers accomplished a win, but not before conceding a goal, and looking utterly meek in the first half. This was a half that City dominated furiously from the beginning and the Tigers did not seem to connect to the style of game that has characterised them among the best teams in

the comp. At the break the encouraging words of the coach plus the strong words of the Captain, lifted the team in the change-room, and caused a change in the second half. A different Tigers team came out to face the physical City team. As soon as the Tigers touched the ball in the first minute the score was levelled up thanks to a Scott Barsley powerstrike. After the goal, the game took a different approach. It was only a matter of time until Cooma broke the draw, and in the 70th minute Munoz initiated an attack. He took-on two defenders in the goalbox, and his brilliant offensive play was finished by a goal scored by Serdan Bircan. The 2-1 score could not be broken by City, who tried to breach the Tiger’s defence but found only a brick wall constructed by Yarnold, Soza, and Flores.

Olga Jebbink teamed up with Stumpy Wallis to win the mixed pairs championship.

Bowls champions decided Cooma Bowling Club’s 2010 championship season drew to a close on Sunday with Olga Jebbink and Stumpy Wallis taking out the mixed pairs title with an emphatic win in the final over defending champions Peter Marsicano and Margherita Zasso. The start of the match did not give an indication of what was to come. Marsicano and Zasso won the first three ends and looked to be in control as they set up a 5 – 0 lead. From then on the game was totally dominated by Jebbink and Wallis. They won the next 12 ends to move to a commanding position of 20 -5. Marsicano and Zasso needed a miracle but it wasn’t their day. They found that their opponents were far too good on the day. Jebbink and Wallis again demonstrated that they play very well together and they rounded off an excellent display throughout the championship with their 23 – 9 victory. The winners had to play in all five rounds with their toughest game being in the very first round. They survived this to go on and play outstanding bowls in their other matches. Their championship win was very well deserved – well done! The finalisation of the mixed pairs draws to an end the 2010 championship season. In a sign of the busy calendar nominations are currently being called for the 2011 fours and triples championships. This year a calendar of events has been prepared with every championship being allocated playing dates. When nominations are being called for, prospective players will know when the championships will be played. Details will be displayed on the calendar and on the nomination

sheets. The first championship to be played will be the fours. The first rounds in this event are set down for October 9 and 10. In the meantime social bowls will be played. Over the weekend good fields of social bowlers made the most of the excellent weather. On Saturday there were three games of triples and one of pairs. Maureen D’Amico, Ron Gammon and Jim Fletcher had a very tight encounter with Olga Jebbink, Sergio Roncelli and Paul Schulz before grabbing a 16 – 13 win on the last end. Other winners were Keith Goodwin, Ron Wainwright and Pual Cannell; Gaile Fitzgerald, John Vincent and Richard Nichols and Renate Winckel and Giulio D’Amico. On Sunday Ignazio Mondello and Jim Fletcher proved too strong for Nelson Wallace and Kim Weston. Don Jarvis and Paul Cannell had a big win over Rod Caldwell and Geoff Venables. In the closest match Keith Goodwin (swinging lead), Dawn Russell and Ron Gammon managed to outlast Goodwin, Renate Winckel and Mario Frezza. Social bowls will continue this weekend with play starting at 1pm on both days. Two important events will take place off the green over the weekend. On Saturday the Monaro District Bowling Association will hold its annual general meeting at Adaminaby starting at 10 am. On Sunday the Illawarra Bowls Shop will be at the Cooma Bowling Club from 10.30am with the full range of equipment available. This is a great opportunity for bowlers to purchase the new things they need from shoes, clothing and through to bowls in readiness for the new season.

Stallions take long road to grand finals Cooma Stallions will have to take the long road to reach the Group 16 grand final after two disappointing losses to Bega at Cooma on Sunday. With the game in the balance midway through the second half and Cooma on the attack deep in Bega’s territory, a ‘flat’ pass to centre Stokes put him in space and over for a try, pushing the score to possibly 24-14 but no, the linesman saw it as forward and Cooma was denied a grand final spot in two weeks. They now have to take on Eden at Bega next Sunday to earn a shot at the title. Bega was in control for most of the first half, posting three tries to lead 14-nil before Cooma got their game together to run in two converted tries, their second right on halftime to winger Zac Smith. Halftime score 14-12 to Bega. The second half was a real arm wrestle with both sides making good breaks but unable to score. Cooma hit the lead with a full length of the field try by centre Matt Salvestro, converetd from the sideline by Nick Moon. The final 10 minutes saw Cooma cop a couple of soft penalties and the boys defended magnificently but could not hold Bega out. Bega took the lead 20pts-18 with only minutes to go and then scored again from a grubber kick to push the final score to 24 points to 18. The boys really were disappointed with the results but are confident they can win over Eden and then have another crack at Bega in the grand final. Cooma was well served by captain coach Donald, Dunn, secondrowers Clarke and Bruce, while Salvestro looked good in the centre and winger Smith was strong.

line together. Bega hit back to race in two converted tries. Cooma’s Ben Rolfe scored a great individual try to put Cooma back in the lead, very late in the game, 22pts to 20, the same scoreline these two sides ended up with two weeks ago. Cooma will now have to play Cobargo and win two

reach the grand final in Bega in two weeks. Cooma was best served by backrower Cameron Jones, Issa and Bond until injured while Rolfe, Boller and Findlow tried hard to pull a win out of the hat for Cooma. Pictured, Dan Stokes was wrapped up by Bega’s defence.

Reserves squander control The Cooma Reserves were on their way to a grand final spot when they completely outplayed Bega in the first half to lead 16pts to 4. They controlled the ball well and wrapped up the bigger Bega forward with slamming defence. The second half was far from impressive in patches as Cooma fell off tackles and did not hold their defensive
