1971 revisited - MHS school reunion The Way To Go
Kimberley Tour
18 August 1 Sept
KIMBERLEY
Pictured are the participants in the MHS Year of 1971 reunion dinner-dance at the Alpine Hotel last Saturday night. More than 80 people attended, with 70 of those students who attended Monaro High School between 1966 and 1971. Photo by Schoos Studio. Eight months of preparation and planning culminated last weekend in one of the biggest school reunions seen in Cooma for many years. The Year of 1971 from Monaro High School assembled at the school hall on Saturday for registration before reliving their youth on the dance floor at The Alpine Hotel at the reunion dinner dance on Saturday night. Nearly 70 former students attended, with a couple of teachers and partners also enjoying the evening. A trivia quiz conducted during the dinner brought back many memories of school days. There was also a toast to those students who have passed away. The celebrations included
tours of the school, a magical mystery bus tour, the dinner, plenty of dancing and a brunch on Sunday morning. Some of those returning to Cooma also enjoyed playing golf and finished off their stay with a bushwalk in the
mountains on Monday. With attendees now living all around Australia and overseas, the reunion brought together friends who had not seen each other for 40 years in some cases. It assembled people from a very broad cross-section of careers, all thoroughly enjoying catching up with friends, s w a p p i n g addresses and renewing the 76 Commissioner Street bonds they CLOSED Monday , Wednesday had all those Thursday 10th May – Super Tuesday 15th May 2012 years ago.

local Councils and local residents. “The first project will be the rehabilitation of Monaro Highway pavement near Chakola Road, between Bredbo and Cooma.” Mr Barilaro said. Work is now well underway on the first project. “The second project will be a new 1.2km southbound overtaking lane south of Williamsdale.” Work began this week on the Williamsdale overtaking lane. “The new lane will reduce driver frustration increase the safety of this section of road.” “The final project will be a realignment and new crossing over Parsonage Creek, south of Bombala.” “The investment is spread over the length of the Highway and will represent a solid improvement to the condition and safety of the road.”

Cooma Stars get in step As the date draws closer, the teams taking part in Dancing With The Cooma Stars are all of a twinkle, working hard at polishing their routines and hoping for the best for the competition. Friday, May 11, is the Draws night and there will be three draws to establish the performance order for each dance team over the three nights of the competition. The order will be different for each performance’ Committee member Sandy Schofield said “and all the performers are getting very nervous now!” The first night of the competition is Thursday May 24 and cocktails and nibbles will be available on the evening. The Friday and Saturday night
performances will also include a meal however the matinee will be performance only. Dancing with the Cooma Stars made its debut in 2010 and was such a success that it was decided to do it again this year. It’s a big job though and takes at least six months to organise. “The organising committee has been awesome.” Ms Schofield said. “It just wouldn’t have happened without them. They have been wonderful!” Ms Schofield also praised the local community for their support of the performance. “Everyone has been so committed to this and the community support has been just phenomenal.”

postman calls
As the path to the next Federal election shortens, we learn the Liberal Party is considering its option for candidate for Eden-Monaro. The Postman would like to offer the following advice to ALL political parties, and independents, considering who should represent this or any other electorate: We the voters, want to be represented by someone who – knows who and where we are; understands the issues which face us as individuals or businesses on an ongoing basis; has the intestinal fortitude to stand up for the electorate on those issues; isn’t just a Party spokesperson on any matter; will seriously and fairly represent the views and needs of the people in the electorate. We don’t want someone who wants to be in politics just as a career option. Until the representative has walked in the shoes of the people they represent, they just don’t qualify for the job! School reunions are becoming more popular as people appreciate the worth of friendships and the benefits of renewing them. Last weekend’s MHS Year of 1971 reunion saw almost all of the students of that year attend functions in and around Cooma. They came from the USA, Darwin, South Australia, Queensland, all over NSW and the ACT and they had an absolute ball. However, there was one bone of contention – the girls, in conversation, decided that they had possibly weathered the years better than the boys. The boys, however, had also discussed the subject - at length – and concluded they had in fact defied the ravages of age and still looked pretty spunky. Neither gender was quite game enough to ask a young person their opinion, though. But on the dance floor, the years were forgotten, the ‘moves’ were let out for a run and the painkillers the only option the next morning. School reunions – you have to love them!

Riposte Lisa Ashurst Read a very interesting version of “The Rules” online just recently. Written by a man, I’d say, seeing as it’s a bit of a kiss-off to us women and also because all the rules are numbered 1! I mean really, talk about ego! Anyway, whichever clever little vegemite put these together does have some sort of a sense of humour, I have to admit, and I’m assuming he put his own version together in response to the original set of “The Rules” which, apparently, were also written by a man having a tongue-in-cheek shot at women in general. It backfired though when women the world over took one look at them, found them entirely true and accurate and stuck them on the fridge door. One from the original went something like “The Male is always wrong” followed by “The Male may be right if he agrees with the Female, unless the Female wants him to disagree, in which case he will be wrong.” There are about 15 of them altogether and another goodie was “In the event that the Female is wrong, it is due to something the Male said or did which was wrong. The Male must then apologise profusely for causing the misunderstanding.”
Another was “The Female has every right to be angry and/or upset.” Well that’s fair enough, but anyway the follow-up was “The Male on the other hand is to remain calm at all times unless the Female wants him to be angry and/or upset” and then “The Female must not, under any circumstances whatsoever, allow the Male to know which!” Can you see now why women took to them like ducks to water? Now this new list says things like “If you don’t like the toilet seat left up, just put it down before you use and stop bitching”, “If you want sympathy, you have girlfriends. That’s what they’re for” and “If we ask what’s wrong and you say nothing, we’re going to believe you and leave it there.” These may not be the exact words but they’re close enough. Talk about In-Your-Face!!! Whoever he is, he thinks he knows all about women and has taken it upon himself to express his “knowledge” as a set of rules for men the world over to stick on beer fridges, shed walls and other blokey hangout places, and no doubt it is available in the giant poster version. Men always do giant poster versions of things. Men may also believe this guy has it down pat, where women are concerned, but I’m telling you now… he got it so wrong about the shoes!

Claire’s Gardening notes for May With Claire Caldwell of Cooma Gas and Garden Supplies The arrival of the month of May sees the final month of the autumn season and the month that we acknowledge the special women in our lives – our Mothers and Grandmothers. Mothers Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May and gives us the opportunity to express our appreciation for all the things these most important members of our families do every day of the year. Make the day a wonderful one for your Mums from start to finish with breakfast in bed, a special outing for lunch and family dinner. Treat her with a special gift – a visit from you, something that is tailored to her interests e.g. gardening, cooking, reading, music etc. For the Mums who love gardening some gift suggestions are as follows;Potted colour – Cyclamen, Chrysanthemums, Pansies, Violas. These will last a lot longer than a bunch of flowers. Indoor plants – will brighten up the indoors and act as an air freshener Trees, Shrubs, Roses – great gifts for the garden Pots – a good gift for indoor or outdoor plants Ornaments – including birdbaths, bird feeders, statues, arches, obelisks, wall art and lots more Purely Practical – Potting mixes, garden tools, watering cans, fertilizers, mulches Gift Vouchers – If you can’t decide then let your special lady choose for herself Also we will gift wrap for you. Now what to do in the garden in May. After another month of welcome showers of rain and fairly mild weather, gardening is still a great pleasure with conditions as good as they probably could ever be. Some things to keep the gardener occupied over the next month will be: Autumn Leaves- these will be falling in abundance now and should be collected and composted to provide fantastic mulch and compost for garden soils in the future. A very easy
The Ultimate Touring Experience
The Way To Go
way of recycling!!! For larger leaves use the mower to chop them up and they will break down a lot faster. Vegetables and Fruit – Continue to harvest any ripe fruit and vegetables if you still have any. Apples can be harvested and prepared for freezing to use later in pies, muffins, cakes and winter desserts. Plant out winter cropping vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower before the cold weather really starts. Perennials – If the perennials in the garden have finished their flowering, prune back the dead flowers and if they have finished their growing season then they may be divided and replanted into pre-prepared beds. Remember to always give newly planted plants their dose of Seasol to help them on their way to healthy growth. Prepare – Start the preparation of the garden areas that have been set aside for any plantings of new roses, fruit trees and winter planted deciduous trees. The areas where these bareroot and dormant plants are to be planted, needs to be well prepared prior to the arrival of the plant stock in the winter months. Use plenty of organic matter in the way of compost, well rotted manure, some blood and bone. Dig this in well; leave for a couple of weeks then fork it over again removing any weeds that may have sprouted in this time. If you have well prepared soil for the new plants they will have the best chance of becoming well established and performing at their best. Bulbs – Bulbs that are spoken of at this time of year are the ones that provide the garden with a show of wonderful flowers in spring and are synonymous with spring. The ones I am referring to are Daffodils, Tulips, Hyacinths, Bluebells, Ranunculas, Anemones, Dutch Iris, just to name a few. So if you really want to have your own bit of spring magic then get planting. The bulbs that provide this blaze of colour and flowers need to be planted NOW. Pruning – Prune back any plants that may have outgrown their allotted space in the garden but be mindful of the fact if you prune spring flowering shrubs or trees now you will be losing the spring flowers. Usually a rule of thumb is that you prune most plants when their flowering season is ended. A regular pruning job, if you grow roses, is keeping the old and finished flowers removed from the plant unless you want the beautiful display of coloured rose hips, which are a spectacle, especially on the old fashioned and heritage roses. When pruning it is of the utmost importance that all pruning equipment is extremely sharp and free from any old plant material. This lessens the likelihood of damage to the plants being pruned and the transference of disease organisms between plants. Water Water Water – Even though there have been quite regular showers of rain and the general garden is still in a quite moist condition always bear in mind that potted plants will need regular checks to ensure that they don’t become dry and lacking for water. On the other hand care should be taken that potted plants don’t become waterlogged, as it is almost impossible for a waterlogged plant to recover, whilst a few good soakings will see a dry pot plant revive. A good knowledge of your particular potted plants water requirements will see your plant grow and thrive. The Bug Department – As always there will be something out there bugging our prized plants whether it is a pest or a disease or even a pesky weed that wants to take over the garden. There are still caterpillars around at the moment and one is the larvae of the callistemon sawfly. These larvae can defoliate a bottlebrush in a matter of days if left unchecked. Use a pyrethrum based spray to eliminate these bugs. Have your copper sprays ready to spray all stone fruit such as peaches, nectarines, cherries, apricots, after the last of their leaves have fallen. This will help control the major disease problems with stone fruit, leaf curl fungus and bacterial canker. Keep regular inspections on the undersides of pansy, viola and panola leaves, and on perennial petunias that are still flowering for signs of aphid infestations and control if necessary. Hard Landscaping – Now that the busy time of planting is about over before winter why not set aside some time, if you are thinking of a garden makeover, to start planning what you would like from your outdoor areas. If you plan now then you will be ready to take on the hard work during the winter months so everything will be ready for new planting come springtime. Flowering in May - There are some plants that come into their own in the flowering stakes during May. Chrysanthemums are always associated with Mothers Day and come in a wide variety of colours and flower form. They love a full sun position and will return year to year with a lovely show of flowers. Also flowering now are sasanqua Camellias, these are a wonderful group of plants, and if planted into suitable soil will grow without too much trouble for years. They have glossy green leaves and flower colours ranging from whites through pinks to reds. Nerines are another flowering plant of autumn; they are a bulb and come in pinks and whites. Penstemons are still in flower and pansies and violas are beginning to put on a show. So the garden doesn’t have to be without flowers in autumn as there are some that will compliment the beautiful colours of the deciduous trees and shrubs that have put on a great show this year. Footnote - To all those beautiful Mothers, Mums, Grans, Nanas, Grandmas out there a Very HAPPY MOTHERS DAY from all at Cooma Gas And Garden

View Club celebrates 25 years
Addressing members at the 25th Anniversary View Club lunch.
Cutting the Anniversary Cake. The Cooma VIEW Club celebrated their 25th Anniversary with lunch in the Coombah Lounge at the Cooma ExServices Club on Thursday April 26 with around 50 members sitting down to eat and chat about what the Club has achieved since its inception.

Females firmly in focus at Essential Energy Australia’s largest power distribution network operator, Essential Energy, has put the importance and future of females in its workforce squarely in the spotlight today. Announcing a concentrated plan to increase the representation of women within the workforce, particularly in areas where they have traditionally been under represented, the business fittingly introduced the inaugural recipient of a scholarship for female electrical engineers. Essential Energy’s managing director, Terri Benson, presented Amanda Cottingham, second year Bachelor of Electrical Engineering student at the University of Newcastle, as the beneficiary of the 2012 Kath Knowles Scholarship. “Kath promoted equality and career opportunities for women, was passionate about rural and regional communities, and championed the benefits of a good education – all things that Amanda embodied in her application and interview,” Terri said. “We’re pleased to have awarded the Kath Knowles Scholarship to a young woman who wants to make a difference in our industry.” At the same time, Terri launched a founding strategy to move and keep more women in technical roles. Essential Energy’s Women’s Employment and Development Strategy is a first for the regional-
based employer. “We know firsthand the power industry is experiencing shortages of technically skilled employees, both nationally and internationally,” Terri said. “We also know women represent around 51 per cent of the total population in NSW – that’s an under-utilised pool of talent we want to tap into.” The concentrated four-year plan aims to increase the representation of women within field, trade, technical, para-professional and professional roles. Females represent around 19 per cent of Essential Energy’s total workforce, with about four per cent presently working in field, trade, technical, para-professional and professional positions. “We’ve done our homework and know there are all sorts of complex barriers for women entering usually male dominated and technical areas – from work to personal reasons – but we also know there are women out there in regional NSW who have the ability, skill and drive to be successful in these roles,” Terri said. “Women like Amanda.” “Essential Energy is setting a course to bring more opportunities to light, and attract and retain a diverse range of talented people committed to becoming Australia’s best essential services provider.”

Brigitte and Petra’s excellent exhibition
Chrysanthemum care
“Pigment and Clay”, an exhibition of paintings and ceramics by two well known Cooma artists, Brigitte Mackay and Petra Murphy, opened at the Raglan Gallery last Saturday. Petra and Brigitte’s previous combined exhibition at the Raglan was “Rustico Italiano” in 2006 which featured ceramics and paintings with an Italian flavour. Their latest exhibition explores the artists’ love of nature and the environment and showcases Brigitte’s iconic still life paintings in oils, acrylic and water colour as well as pastels, drawings and printmaking. The opening attracted a big crowd with plenty of sales made in a very short time. The artists are pictured celebrating in front of some of their work.
Week 2
It’s fair to say that chrysanthemums have faded a little in popularity. They used to be grown extensively in gardens but these days they’re most often seen as an indoor flowering plant. One thing hasn’t changed, though. Chrysanthemums (in this case, the potted varieties) are still invariably associated with Mother’s Day. By happy chance, their long, nearly-unpronounceable name ends in ‘mum’ and their flowering coincides with Mother’s Day. Chrysanthemums flower in autumn because their blooming is triggered by shortening days. We’re all aware that flowering can be affected by temperature but it’s less well known that light levels play an important role, too. This means that chrysanthemums in glasshouses can be manipulated to have their flowering occur on cue. For most of us, our initial experience with a chrysanthemum will be as a potted indoor plant. Keep the pot in a well-lit position and regularly remove dead flowers and leaves. Water at the base so that the leaves stay as dry as possible, and don’t overwater. Remember, an indoor plant doesn’t require anything like as much water as the same plant would if grown outdoors. When the plant stops flowering, you have a choice. Either take it out of the pot and add it to the compost, or plant it into a sunny garden bed. Water in with some Yates Uplift Root Booster. This helps the plant to settle in, and Uplift’s natural soil wetter component will ensure that moisture gets right through to the roots. Chrysanthemum plants are very good value. They require only the most basic of care and can last for years. Feed every so often with some easy-to-apply Yates Acticote or Garden Gold. Large parts of the plant will die back after flowering, leaving a low clump of new shoots emerging from the base. These new shoots are much favoured by snails, so spread a light sprinkling of Blitzem or Baysol pellets to protect them. At the end of winter, trim back any remaining dead stems and feed again. In spring the plants will send up tall, upright shoots. Pinch these back two or three times before the end of the year. This will encourage a bushier growth habit. Pests and diseases As well as the snails and slugs already mentioned, watch out for aphids. When they first appear and their numbers are small, they’re easily removed by squashing the pests between your finger and thumb but, if numbers increase, they’ll need to be sprayed. The best thing to use is Yates Rose Gun Advanced, a combination of insecticide and fungicide that will control most of the common plant problems. White rust is a particularly nasty disease that has arrived in Australia relatively recently. With its persistent white pustules, white rust is very difficult to treat but the new Zaleton fungicide from Yates is registered to control this problem. Zaleton comes in a dropper pack that evenly measures out drops of concentrate into the required amount of water. Spray every couple of weeks when conditions favour disease or when the pustules are evident. Zaleton will also help control powdery mildew, another fungal disease that often attacks chrysanthemums.
Nimmitabel the place to dance the night away! Nimmitabel the small town with a big heart is about to hold their annual Bonfire Shed Concert to raise money to finish building the Sheep and Goat Shed to house the increasing amount of Show Shearing, Stud Merinos, Flock Merinos, British Breeds, Goats and Crossbred lambs coming to the Nimmitabel Show. This year we had the seond year of Show Shearing competition, to ensure its smooth running to make more room for the shearing stands and to cover the sheep we need to extend both the sheep and goat sheds and install the power to the sheds. The 16th Annual Bonfire, Barbecue and Shed Concert is to be held on Saturday May 19, 2012 starting at 6pm at the Nimmitabel Showground. The extension to the sheep shed is going to cost $35,000, last years Nimmitabel Bonfire raised over $4500, and have been added to the funds to extend the sheep shed on the Nimmitabel Showground.

CWA joins rally to protect agricultural land
Usually a non-deomstrative group, the NSW Country Women’s Association joined thousands of others in a rally in Sydney last week, demanding the NSW Government honour its pre-election commitment to introduce a strategic land use policy that protects prime land and water resources from the rapid escalation of mining activities across the State. The Protect our Land and Water rally, organised by NSW Farmers, was supported by nearly 4,000 people from more than 22 community groups including the CWA - the first time in its 90-year history that the iconic organisation has taken to the streets in public protest. NSW Farmers president, Fiona Simson, said that the rally, demonstrated the breadth of concern about the government’s draft Strategic Regional Land Use Plan and its failure to deliver on the clear commitments made by the Coalition prior to the 2011 State election. “The protection of our land and water is a fundamental issue that is above politics and that fact has been clearly demonstrated by the diverse Advertisement groups that marched shoulder to shoulder today outside the parliament,” Ms Simson said. “In recent years we have seen an unprecedented escalation in mining activities across NSW which has been allowed to proceed without proper consideration of the potential impact on prime land, precious water resources or the other valuable established industries. “Before they were elected, the Coalition pledged to change that and introduce a detailed Strategic Land Use Policy that restored balance, clearly indicated where mining could and could not occur, and provided certainty to industries and communities. “Sadly the government’s draft policy fails to deliver on that clear promise and that is why thousands of concerned citizens from across the State have come together today in protest,” she said. Ms Simson said the Draft Strategic Regional Land Use Plan failed to protect even one square centimetre of land in NSW from mining and left farmers, communities, and industry with no certainty about the future. “We want the government to know that our food, water, health, jobs and the future of our communities are under threat if land and water is not properly mapped and protected. “Clearly mining and CSG are important for our economy. But, without balance, diversity and a proper strategic land use plan, these short-term industries threaten the long-term sustainability of our land, water, environment and the future of other vital industries and regional communities. “The NSW Government’s draft policy has taken some important steps but it has pulled up short on delivery. “The final Strategic Regional Land Use Policy will possibly be one of the most important planning policies in NSW history. We must get it right,” Ms Simson said. NSW Farmers want the government to deliver Facts and benefits: “The NBN gives people, especially those in regional areas, a genuine plan for all NSW communities which better access to healthcare from home.

Mothers earned their special day! Household gadgetry is certainly very different today compared to say 50 or 60 years ago because thankfully someone (probably a husband) woke up to the fact that it’s still the mother who usually does most of the domestic chores and in these liberated times she wants the whole thing to be a breeze...or someone else to do it! But for those out there who didn’t realise that housework, once upon a time, was really hard work and have no idea what I’m even on about, here’s a quick flick back to a time where many of the modern conveniences we are so used to today were something entirely different: Appliance & Description Mop: Awkward bulky absorbent thing on end of long handle and wielded by wife. Occasionally substituted by whatever was closest to hand at time of mess. Carpet sweeper: Wife with broom. Later a heavy box thing on squeaky rollers with long handle. Did actually clean carpet though. Hoover Constellation: Funky, futuristic-looking vacuum cleaner often left in view by wives who had one so that visiting wives who didn’t would see it.
Dish washer: Wife. Rubber gloves optional. Toasted sandwich maker: Wife. Coffee maker: Wife Children: Yep. Lots. Housekeepper/Nanny/Childcare: Wife. Contraception: Headache or other feigned illness. Lawnmower/tradie etc: Husband. Social group: Wives on other side of dividing fences. Advice/info lines: Older wives on other side of dividing fences. Fast food: Anything on toast. Convenience food: As above. “Her” time: Huh? Own transport: Husband with car. McDonald’s: Live two doors down. McDonald wife has Hoover Constellation!! See what I mean now? This Mothers’ Day, take a moment to salute your mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers who never had it quite so good and give silent thanks to things like steam mops, NapiSan and self-cleaning ovens. Happy Mothers’ Day!
Treat Mum to an old time favourite! Method Place the chocolate, butter and golden syrup in a saucepan over a low heat and cook, while stirring, until melted and smooth. Place the cereal in a bowl, add the chocolate mixture and combine well. Spoon two teaspoons of the mixture into 48 paper cases and refrigerate for 1 hour or until set. For colourful Crackles, you can use white chocolate instead and tint the mixture to delicate pastels with a drop or two of food colouring. You can also add some hundreds and thousands to either version just prior to refrigeration for a really festive look!
Just about everyone loves Chocolate Crackles! They are delicious, so easy to make and are about as tempting as any chocolate treat has a right to be! But this version takes the humble Crackle to a whole new level and would make a lovely treat for your Mum on Mothers’ Day. What you’ll need... 200g of dark chocolate, chopped 100g of butter 1/3 cup of golden syrup 4 cups of puffed rice cereal

Investment Matrix Before investing in any property you should have an investment Matrix. WHY? Too many
people invest without assuring the property stacks up to a solid investment. There is specific factors that combined will let you know you are choosing the right property for you that will provide you with maximum returns. We visit and review over 300 estates Australia wide per annum and only select approximately 30 estates that stack up against our tried, tested and proven investment matrix. You should be doing the same before you take action and invest in any property. Our system works on a weighting system and scored appropriately and the property must score 70 points and above or will not recommend that location. Things within our Matrix that you can use for yourself is as follows:First and most importantly the numbers have to stack up. 1) Affordability – It has to be affordable, too many people over capitalise on an investment property which ties up their borrowing capacity so they can not duplicate sooner. 2) Valuation – The property has to be below the median house price, you do not want to set the bench mark. 3) Rental Returns – The rental returns need to be 5% yield plus, pending on your position and the correct investment model for you. 4) Rental Demand – You must have a high rental demand generally with a rental vacancy rate of 3% and under, preferably like Mackay 0.5%. 5) Infrastructure – Location close to schools, shops, transport, employment, recreation etc 6) Estate Quality – It must be of high standard, with a high covenants to assure ALL the houses are quality built. 7) Owner Occupied – You want to be in locations with a high percentage of owner occupied as they generally build bigger houses on bigger blocks and therefore set a higher established capital benchmark 8) Quality Build – You want a quality built new property for maximum returns, capital growth, rental income and tax benefits plus no maintenance issues. If you score the property based on these things you will be confident you buying a quality investment that will be a success, and be stress and hassle free. If you would like to review our matrix system and look at what property is right for you please do not hesitate to contact me.

NSW Farmers condemns government’s move on drought support NSW Farmers have condemned the Federal Government for making executive decisions on drought support packages when the matter was in the middle of a consultation process. The association said that the current drought policy was being reviewed by state primary industry ministers at a meeting in Adelaide today with a view to a national policy being finalised later this year. President of NSW Farmers, Fiona Simson, said all this announcement was doing was removing the capacity of state leaders to consider all the options. “Ministers and peak bodies like us are reviewing the drought policy in good faith. If the government is going to make decisions and announce results outside of that process, it gives us little faith in the value and meaning of the consultative process,” she said.
Gary Evans and Myles Buchanan call for bids. Wethers J & J Cleret, MLP, 122, $94; Nimmo, Lmk, 12, $85; PA & CF Barry, Eld, 13, $84; ML & A Golby, Lmk, 39, $80; ME Bennetts.

The Federal Government announced today that it would remove interest rate subsidies from the drought support package for farmers. Ms Simson said this was just another example of the Federal Government’s failure to understand and appreciate the full implications that drought has on regional and rural communities – especially for farmers. “It would have made more sense if Senator Ludwig had kept the existing package in place until a new policy is agreed,” Ms Simson said. NSW Farmers has been involved in the drought review process since 2008. It is also participating in the National Farmers’ Federation drought working group which is looking at alternative options for drought support.

Peter McMahon: ANZAC of the year During his 24 years in the Army, serving in the Royal Australian Regiment, Infantry, Peter McMahon covered a lot of ground, which makes him a worthy choice for the role of ANZAC of the Year for 2012. In 1955, Mr McMahon began his working life as the postman for Old and New Adaminaby but had to resign from the position when he turned 18 because he was “too old”! “There were times when I delivered the mail on horseback around Old Adaminaby because the bike was no good in the snow but the mail still had to go through!” Mr McMahon was given the choice to stay on and be transferred somewhere else to train as a Junior Postal Officer but he decided to leave the Post Office and stay in the local area, so he became a dozer driver. While on the dozer, Mr McMahon worked on the Tooma Dam, then Kiandra and worked with Kennedy Bros extracting sand for the Tantangara Dam wall and when the wall was complete, he worked in the Tantangara tunnels. In 1961 Mr McMahon opted for a change in career and joined the Army where he was stationed at Holsworthy and in the very early hours of May 28, 1965 his battalion sailed very quietly out of Sydney for South Vietnam, with no friends or family allowed to be there to see them off. “We had once month’s notice that we were going and many of the men didn’t even know where Vietnam was! We’d had no formal training in jungle warfare.” They landed in mangrove swamps on June 8. “There was a lot of mud!” Mr McMahon added. Once there they became the 3rd Battalion of the 173 Airborne Brigade which was American, and so they found themselves under the Americans care. “Sure, it was frightening at times, but we were professional soldiers so we just did the job.” The men had already been together for two to three years so they all knew each other well which made it all the harder when some of them were killed. “I did lose some friends” Mr McMahon said “I lost my best friend, Billy Carrol in a grenade blast accident in one of the trucks. He decided to climb up out of it and the ring of the grenade on his belt caught on a wing nut. The American driver was killed too. It was in Bien
Hoa and the American’s crew mates named a sports field at the base camp after driver, calling it Pearson’s Field.” On June 2, 1966, Mr McMahon’s battalion arrived back in Australia. They returned to Holsworthy, regrouped, took two to three weeks leave and then returned to base for training but just prior to returning to Vietnam, the Australian troops were brought home. Following on from there Mr McMahon spent five years at Victoria Barracks where he operated as a tour guide and he also trained the guards for the ANZAC Cenotaph in Sydney. He retired from the Army on June 8, 1985 and moved to Cooma in the same year, taking up the position of purchasing officer, and later stores manager at Cooma Gaol. In 1985 Mr McMahon also became the Vice President of the Adaminaby RSL Sub Branch and in 1986 transferred to Cooma where he became Director of the Cooma Ex-Services Club, then President, a position he held for 18 years, making him the longest serving President in the Cooma Ex-Services Club history. It was in 1992, when about to leave for Sydney for ANZAC Day, that Mr McMahon suffered a massive heart attack. He survived it and eventually underwent a bypass operation in 2001. In 1998 he became President of the RSL Club Sub Branch in Cooma and was sworn into Legacy at the same time, which made him the only person to ever hold the positions of President of the Ex-Services Club, President of the RSL Club Sub Branch and Chairman of the Eden Monaro Legacy Group all at the same time! He was made a Life Member of RSL Australia in 2004 (“I try to keep the traditions alive”) and in February 2007 was awarded Citizen of the Year in Cooma. He is also a Life Member of Cooma Ex-Services Club. In 2010 Mr McMahon was proud to be at the service held in Canberra where two men from his battalion were brought home to Australia after 40 years. “I think it was the Vietnamese Company Commander who actually remembered the incident when they were killed and he remembered where they had been buried. Based on the information he gave, the men were found and brought home.” Mr McMahon feels proud to have been named the 2012 ANZAC of the Year.

Cooma Colts results round two
U7 and U8 - byes U9 The U9s travelled to Queanbeyan and right from the whistle Lachlan McGufficke starred with some great tackling and Hudson Laird really stepped up in defence. Ryan Harmer and Hudson Laird have started to combine well from dummy half and first receiver. Daniel Watts and Harrison Sowby made some blistering runs in the first half and there was great improvement by Darcy Clark, Bevan Tidboald, Cambell Wenban and Shaye Jack. Coming off the field injured gave Jake Galvin a second wind as moments after returning to the field he raced away to score Cooma’s only try and then backed up for a successful conversion. Clint Filtness was the huge improver of the day with some great defence which earned him the one point. Two points went to Braith Fitzgerald who in the second half also turned into a tackling machine. However it was the consecutive tackles made from marker and the powerful runs that earned James Dyball the three points for best on field. The final score did not reflect the great improvement all these boys made, going down 6-40. U10 The Cooma Colts U10s played Valley Dragons with a very dominant first half by Cooma with Noah Saddler, Nic Zusak and Will Cahill commanding both sides of the field. There were some very good runs by Colin Kingston, Jordan McLeod, Eddie Clarke, Jason Kelly, Josh Digges which was causing major problems for the opposition. In the second half the Dragons came out strong with a couple of quick trys, Cooma regrouped and showed some really good football, with Tyler Rees finding holes around dummy half causing problems for the opposition. Alec Miners, Ethan Connelley, Lachlan Baker and James McGufficke showed great support. A special mention for Dean Ashton on his debut, he played very well with strong runs and very good tackling. Cooma run out winners by 44-8 well done boys, you should proud of the way you played today. U11 Under 11 Cooma Colts played Queanbeyan United Blues on Sunday. They played exceptionally well and encouraged each other through the game. The game began with a strong defence line formed from the Blues, they soon took over the ball having possession straight into play giving them the first try and goal and several more to follow. The Colts still kept positive through the game. Darnel Bartlett proved this with a try and then converted by Samuel Sergo. Remy Oldrey caught up to a Blue to stop a corner try from taking place. William Pendergast had a great come back after a hard tackle placed upon him that took him from the field earlier to score a run away try. Thomas Hill converted goal. He and Dylan Tahere
who both had good tackles and runs up the sides. This game was an impressive game against the Blues. Damon Fanning and James Hayden both tested their boundaries trying to crack through the strong defence with good runs as did Brendon Weston and Sean Dixon. Watch Clayton and Jayden Miners, they’re back with Archie Allen and Nicholas Zusak who has the dodging speed. Colts will step up another notch this year with coaches, Creedance Bartlett and Rob Zusak. McDonalds Award: Sean Dixon. Players’ Medal: Remy Oldrey. Score: Colts 12 Queanbeyan United Blues 54 U12 Cooma Colt’s under 12s travelled to Kaleen to play Bungendore with only 11 players on Sunday still winning 24-6. James Cahill found the try line within minutes of starting, followed by Lachlan Inskip. Newcomers Tim Bottom, Cooper Swan and Lachlan Jones showed great potential today making some great tackles. Thomas Hain and Andrew Pearce had another great game, as did Joshua Dwyer-Gersak and Jack Reid making a great runs towards the try line. Bill Zammit showed his amazing strength charging through to score two tries in the game. Jarrod Jeszczenko showed he has no fear making tackles on boys twice his size. James Cahill went on to score two more tries leaving the score 24-6. The medal went to Bill Zammit, Gatorade prize went to Lachlan Inskip and the Maccas award to Lachlan Jones. Thanks to Catherine Pearce and Becca Hain FAO and Dale Bond and Pete Gersak LeagueSafe. U13 The Under 13s played their first home game again South Tuggeranong Blue. In the first half Cooma dominated all over the park. Good service from Will Shingles at dummy half and great forward runs from Matthew Robinson and Blake Thomas saw the boys make plenty of metres up the centre of the field. Some great back line movement resulted in Zac Saddler scoring five tries, Jake Hedger three tries, Jordan Kodhr two tries and a try each to Will Shingles and Patrick Connolly. Jake Hedger kicked four goals and Zac Saddler kicked three goals making the final score 62-12. A big thanks to the two players, Mitch Power and Alex Rosten, who dropped back from the under 14s to help the under 13s out. Awards went to Matthew Robinson and Jordon Kodhr. U14 The Colts U14s were at home against the Valley Dragons. The first half saw the Colts have very little possession and the bigger Valley Dragons forwards finally crossed the line and scored. Another try to the Dragons had them in the lead 8-0 before the Colts finally got their hands on the ball and showed the crowd some entertaining footy making plenty of yards and taking
control of the game. Strong defence forcing errors from the big Dragons forwards and some great attacking plays by the halves saw the Colts take the lead 10-8 with two very good tries by Hayden and Power. The attitude for the second half was there and after some good work through the middle, the Colts were attacking the Dragons line and looking good. Another barnstorming run from Walker saw Dragon defenders flying through the air and with three men on his back he scored an excellent individual try. The dragons fought back to 14 all, and with 10 to go on the clock the Colts were again on their goal line tackling like machines. Wave after wave of attack was repelled but a very dubious run from the Dragons dummy half saw them take the lead right on full time to steal a win 18-14. Points went to Toby Williams, Charlie Keegan-Bull and Jacob Wenban. Tyler Fanning again was strong two points and Jayden Walker was given the three points. A huge thanks to Will Shingles, Zac Saddler and Jake Hedger who came up from the 13s and were more than impressive showing that they can match it playing up a year. Well done! U15 The Under 15s took on a well drilled Valley Dragons team in Cooma on Sunday. The Cooma boys put themselves under some early pressure with a couple of dropped balls and paid the penalty. Valley Dragons ran in six tries before half time and led Cooma 34-0 at the break. A different Cooma team emerged in the second half with the boys increasing their intensity in defence. Valley Dragons felt this pressure and started giving away penalties which allowed Cooma to get on a roll which resulted in a try to the hard running front rower Luke Tredigo. Valley Dragons had a player sin binned for a dangerous tackle and Cooma made the most of their opportunities against a 12 player Valley Dragons defensive line. Josh Zammit made a bustling run and was able to dive over beside the posts to score. Cooma earned their third try of the second half with a cheeky dart from dummy half from Josh Steinke. All three of Cooma tries were converted by Aaron Pidcock. Valley Dragons scored a late try to win the match 44-18, but the Cooma boys won the second half 18-14 and should hold their heads high for a great second half of football. Every player needs to be congratulated for standing up this week in a tough game. Thanks also to Jayden and Tyler from the U14s for stepping up and filling in. The Player of the Week Medal was awarded to Luke Tredigo.
Tough season ahead for Junior Devils Under 14s With the club still waiting for the jerseys to arrive the 14s found themselves playing in the South Coast /Monaro rep jerseys, this confused a few of the spectators who were looking for a red team, only to find a green team playing the blue of Marist! The Cooma Red Devils have again made it into the top division for the 2012 season. The boys found this a little daunting and it showed in the first half of their game against Marist on Saturday. The half time score was 31-0 to Marist. After a good “talking to’ by coach Chris Allen at half time the team went out onto the paddock and played as a team in the second half and showed why they are in the top division. With Marist using long passes the Cooma boys caught onto this and made two intercepts, scoring from both and boosting their morale. They kept the second half of the game to 12 all, a fantastic effort, going down to Marist 43-12. Under 12s – had a bye Under 11s Played their first game in the black division (first division) for the new season. They were the only Cooma team to not have a home game this week and travelled to Canberra to play St Edmunds. With a few new players and plenty of energy the boys were unlucky to go down to Eddies 10-0. The under 14s Devils -in green, win the ball in a lineout against Marist.
Once the team starts playing together as a team and passing the ball around they should be right up there with the best of the Canberra teams. Under 10s The under 10s this year consist of a mix of some players who are ‘old hands’ at the game and new players who have never played rugby before. This in mind they are in the second division of the competition and enjoying their rugby. The boys were the first cab off the ranks in Cooma on Saturday, playing Marist and unfortunately didn’t have enough players, so the Marist team came to the rescue and lent Cooma a player for the game. The team played well together and the Marist player scored three tries for the Cooma team, bringing the final score to 35-32, a very close game indeed. Fortunately for Marist the good sportsmanship (and example to the children) was shown by coach Geoff Litchfield who declared the game a draw, on the basis the Marist player helped score three tries! A great first game and effort by all players on the day.
Local schools netball carnival The rain did not stop the enthusiastic guys and girls taking to the courts and demonstrating their talent and skills – with such a powerful display, these students are sure to keep our local netball competition moving from strength to strength. More than 20 teams competed in the Annual School Netball carnival at the Snowy Oval netball courts on May 2. There were local teams from Cooma as well as teams who travelled from Bombala and Jindabyne.
The secondary divisions were being fought out between Monaro High School and Jindabyne Central School, the competition between the two schools was intense, it was going to be a tight call to separate these two schools, until wet weather set in forcing MHS to forfeit. All schools where fighting for the Cooma Netball perpetual trophy that was up for grabs, which was held by Cooma’s St Patrick’s School for 2011. With St Patrick’s not able to compete this year it opened up the opportunity for
other schools to forge ahead with the opportunity of getting their name on the plaque. Results Year 3 & 4 division was won by Cooma Public School. Years 5 & 6 division was won by an undefeated Bombala Public School. Years 7 & 8 Primary School Perpetual Trophy was won by Bombala Public School. Secondary School Perpetual Trophy was won by Jindabyne Central School.

Supercats season 2012 begins at home A fine and sunny autumn day greeted the visiting Goulburn Swans for the first match of the season in the Under 14s AFL. With the Snowy Oval looking its best for a long time, the two teams took to the field for a very entertaining match. Newcomer, Zac Saddler, quickly put the first points on the scoreboard for the Supercats. The Supercats followed up with a quick succession of behinds to impress the crowd. However it wasn’t long before the Swans retaliated and finished the first quarter with a slight lead of just 3 points. First quarter Supercats 6, 4- 10 Swans 2, 1- 13. The second quarter was a closely fought battle between the two teams with some very good football and teamwork demonstrated to the spectators. Going into the halftime break our local team held their heads high with a narrow lead over the visitors. Second quarter Sc 4, 1 -25 Sw 3, 2- 20.

With all hands on the field, our players were starting to feel the pinch of a hard game and were not able to halt the Swans 25 point lead. Third quarter Sc 6, 1-7 Sw 5, 535. With a player down in the last quarter the Supercats still did not give up and slowed the Swans efforts. Fourth quarter Sc 3,1- 19 Sw 3,1 – 19. It is difficult to identify stand out players on the day, as the team all played very well, but special mention is deserved by the Saddler brothers, Zac, Will and Noah, as well as Kurt Wassink and Mitch Eager. Congratulations to Chloe Ware, Tim Anderson, Jayden Cernigoi, for their efforts in their first game.

Cooma Tigers match reports PREMIERS
AFL 2012 Tipping Competition
Once again the Tigers defeated the team from Woden with just 10 men. This is the second time in a row that Cooma, after losing a man, has ended up playing better than if it had been playing with a full team. On Sunday the punished player was ex-Woden player Alex Oloriegbe. The competition top scorer could not leave behind an old spat with Ben Pagett. Alex was caught throwing a punch at Ben in the 37th minute after a clash near the 18 yard box. With Oloriegbe’s dismissal the scoring duty was taken up by Steven Dominici. He opened the score in the 12th minute. He was able to get behind the defence and beat the Woden goalkeeper. In the 66th minute he scored again, this time from a penalty. The penalty was thanks to Robbie Cattanach who gave the Woden defence a lot of trouble all throughout the game. After some good work by Robbie in the box he was brought down near the goals, and the penalty was awarded to Cooma. Even though Cooma was a man down, the team controlled the spaces, and the opportunities. The defence played a very important role in this game, even though it has throughout the season conceded a large number of goals. The substitutions that were made in the second-half were highly strategic. Instead of giving Woden the opportunity to level the score, the coach reinforced the defensive part of the team which, after playing for a while with 10 men was running out of legs.
This victory now puts Cooma PL in the top seat of the competition. The Tigers are one point ahead of Belconnen. Our sincere condolences to the Wilk family for the loss of Gaby’s older brother, he passed away recently in Argentina. A minute of silence was held by both teams with the help of match officials. PATHWAYS As is usual now the Tigers gained another three points. The Tigers defeated Woden 3-2 This keeps them on top of the table. Unfortunately Woden managed to break the clean sheet that the Tigers had maintained for five games in a row. Both teams fought hard for these special three points, but it was Cooma who, thanks to Mengot and Hollis, won out in the end. Mengot scored twice with the help of Jerry Ibarra. Ibarra played a brilliant match once again (Man of the match). A potent header from Alex Hollis meant that the midfielder scored his first goal of the season for Cooma. UNDER 18S Cooma Tigers under 18 Premier League vs Woden, played at Woden enclosed. Canberra turned on a cold day with a hint of fog but neither had much effect on the match. From the first whistle the League leaders Woden took control of the match with some very disciplined football applying constant pressure on the Tigers. The Tigers, however, managed to
hold Woden’s attack up to the 21st minute when a misunderstanding in the Cooma defence allowed Woden striker to slam the ball past the Tigers Keeper giving them a 1 nil lead. Although this galvanised the Tigers to a degree and they mounted a number of attacks into the Woden’s half they could not find the Woden net, a thundering shot from Tigers striker Ainsley Poon heading towards the top right corner of the Woden goal was stopped by Patterson, the goalkeeper. A number of shots fired at the Tigers were also deflected by Barton with some confident goalkeeping work. At the break Woden led 1 nil. The second half started much the same as the first with a more determined Tigers pushing forward but the goal remained out of reach. Woden continued to counterattack through their striker Darcy Crosthwaite but the Tigers defence of Liam Highmore, James Gazy and Will Devine proved up to the task and kept Darcy away from the goal and on the one or two times that he did managed to get a shot in Barton was there to keep the ball out of the Tigers net. Woden kept the pressure up and in the 82nd minute they were rewarded with an opening in the Tigers defence and they made no mistake placing the ball into the Tigers net for a second time giving them a 2 – nil lead, although the Tigers kept fighting and pressuring the Woden defence they simply could not break through and the match ended Woden 2 Tigers nil.

Red Devils trounce Hall in two grades The Cooma Red Devils got their campaign back on track on Saturday afternoon with both first and reserve grade sides posting comprehensive victories. Playing Hall, reserve grade took to the field with a full bench of reserves and a side ready to make up for the draw and the narrow loss to Yass in Yass last week. Cooma started full of running and it was soon clear that if the forwards laid a good platform then there was going to be room for the young Cooma outside backs to make easy metres on the outside. Cooma was on the front foot early and on the back of some good running from Egan Smith, Pat Egan and Mark Fraser the Red Devils were punching holes in the Hall defensive line and it wasn’t long before the ever green Aron Rogers dived over out wide, Damien Roach converted and Cooma had the early lead. It was Cooma who extended the lead further when Credence Barlett was able to brush through the defence and score, Roach again converted to make the score 14-0. Hall was able to reply and Cooma went into half time leading 14-5. Cooma came out and stepped it up in the second half with the new combination of Tim Keighley and Alex Moon in the centres the backline excelled and with Damien Roach having a great kicking game, getting Cooma out of trouble on a number of occasions. Cooma was controlling the game and scored two more tries in the second half as well as kicking a penalty goal, Hall was able to respond with a try mid way through the half but it Cooma’s afternoon running away with the game 31-12. Points in second grade; one point was shared between Tim Keighley and Credence Barlett, two points Aron Rogers and three points and players player went to Damien ‘Golden Boot’ Roach. The Cooma Red Devils First Grade side was looking for an improved effort after last week’s loss to Yass and to remain undefeated at home this year. Cooma also had the extra motivation in that Steven Speed Boate was playing his 100th game for the Cooma club, so
a big congratulations from all those involved at the club for reaching that milestone. Again the Red Devils stuck true to form this year and conceded the first points of the afternoon as they have in every game so far. Down 7-0 after 10 minutes Cooma regrouped and for the next 30 minutes put on a great display of controlled, mistake-
The Red Devils spin the ball out the back of a scrum.
free rugby. This started on the back of the whole Cooma forward pack working as a unit and punching through the advantage line with a roll on it was not long before Cooma was able to get over the line when Brett Jones crashed over to start the scoring, Cooma went back on the attack from the restart and again came up with points when Ryan Morgan was able to dive over out wide.
The Red Devils playing with confidence and on the back of a smart kicking game and strong running from Ben Kelly, Tom Laddams and Steve Schubert, Cooma was able to get inside Hall’s 22 and after being held up, Cooma had a five metre from the scrum and from the back of the scrum Steven Boate was able to dive over. Sticking to the structure and playing straight Cooma was able to score two more tries in the first half one to Leighton Bates and the other to Adam Schubert who outsprinted Speed to dive on a ball toed into the in goal. The score should have been 35-7 at half time but with Ryan Morgan unable to convert any of the tries Cooma went into half time leading 25-7. Cooma came out after the break and went straight back into attack mode and Ryan Morgan had a chance to score early when he failed to regather a chip kick from Nathan Boate down a short blind side. The Devils maintained the momentum and after a few attacking raids that were shut down by good defence from Hall, Cooma was able to add to the score when Nathan Boate scored under the posts off a good inside ball from Chris De Rooy. Nathan converted his own try and with a comfortable 32-7 lead Cooma switched off for the next 15 minutes and that allowed Hall to score a try but Cooma switched back on and Ryan Morgan was able to score his second when he was on the back of a well executed backline move. Cooma scored again when 100 gamer Steven Speed Boate was able to pick up a loose ball and sprint 70 meters to score a run away try. Hall scored right on full time when Cooma lost its discipline in the last five minutes and gave away a number of silly penalties. This made the final score 42-21 points this week one point Tom Laddams and Ben Kelly, two points Ed Ingram, three points James Strange and players player Steven Boate. This week Cooma are away at RMC and we need a better showing than we did at Yass so everyone get to training and continue on our winning ways.
MEIS Golf Day this Saturday Cats pounce on ‘Bidgee for second win Over the weekend Cooma golfers saw some high scoring individual rounds more akin to summer golf with a marvellous 40 points by Bruce Burton on Saturday and 37 points by Roy Hankinson on Wednesday. You really needed 36 or better in the stableford compeitions to be in the hunt. On Saturday May 5 A grade winner was Bruce Burton with 40 stableford points. In B grade Richard Hanna came up trumps with 35 points and in C grade first prize was taken out by regular winner Prawitt Prakotasung with 37 points. Ball winners went down to Brian Searle on 30 points. Nearest the pins went to Mark Rainsford on the ninth and Roy Hankinson on the 17th. Sunday saw the Womens Cooma Open played so there was no mens competition. Wednesday May 2 saw a single stableford conducted with 27 brave golfers heading out in damp conditions.
A grade winner was Brian Searle with 36 points on a countback from Terry Johnston. B grade saw Roy Hankinson amass 37 points for the round of the day and C grade was won by Dieter Seubert with 29 points. Ball winners went down to 32 points. Nearest the pin on the ninth went to Simon Allen and on the 17th Denis Minehan. Both gentlemen hit great shots within two metres from the cup. Next Wednesday sees an individual stableford. On Saturday there is the always popular Monaro Early Intervention Charity day for both men and women with heaps of prizes on offer. This day is always one to be supported and Sunday sees round six of the super stableford competition. See you on the course.
The Australian Hotel Cooma Cats have made it two wins in a row with an impressive win over the Murrumbidgee Junganauts in Canberra on the weekend. The final score was Cooma 24.18.162 defeated Murrumbidgee 8.2.50. The win gives Cooma a two-two win-loss ratio after four games and confirms the youth policy the Cats have developed this season. Cooma Cats club president Dave Paterson described the win as an important step for the club if it is to be competitive this year. “We don’t expect any easy games this year as we work towards rebuilding a strong and lasting player group, but the wins over the past two weeks are a tribute to the coaching plan which has been developed and implemented by coach Damian Asanovski. “Azzo did a lot of planning over the pre-season to work out a way forward for the Cats and how best to develop a player group which drawn from a broad geographic area including Cooma, Jindabyne, Queanbeyan and Canberra,” Dave said. “This has not been an easy task with issues such as training venues in Cooma and Canberra, team cohesion and youth development needing to be addressed. “But all that planning is coming to fruition with effective systems now in place to address these issues, and the results will hopefully continue to speak for themselves,” he said. The Cats were never challenged on the weekend as they jumped out of the box with a seven goal opening quarter.

The Cats built on this game winning lead with another seven in the second quarter, five in the third and another five in the last. Evergreen centre-half forward Tony Fleming found his kicking boots for the first time in 2012 with a seven-goal haul. He was well supported by players from all over the field. One of the major highlights of the game was that the Cats did not let up at any stage. Even after having the game all but won at quarter time, the Cats maintained an attacking attitude right through to the final season without slackening off at any stage. Another highlight was the Cats’ ability to provide leads and find players in space. Best for the Cats were Tony Fleming, Sam Hunter, Corey Tucker and Anthony Brennan. However, while the win was a great result for the Cats, there are a few areas for improvement – not least accuracy in front of goal. “Kicking 18 behinds is never a good statistic and we obviously need to work on our kicking at goal,” Dave said. “In some ways we missed the opportunity to build our percentage – something which will no doubt be important at finals time,” he said. This week the Cats travel to Cootamundra for their traditional clash of the bush with the Blues. The Cootamundra Blues have had the wood on the Cats in recent years with the trip across the mountains one of foreboding for the Cats. Training is at Snowy Oval at 6:30pm. Anyone interested in being involved with the Cats in any capacity is welcome to attend. Contact is Dave Paterson on 0438089758.
