The awards are a chance for council representatives to honour their peers from across NSW. “For Snowy River Shire Council to be among the winners is a great source of pride for our community,” Mr Barilaro said.

Bundy is a stunning looking Kelpie who has been a loved family pet. He was reluctantly surrendered to the RSPCA because of changing circumstances. He has a lovely, affectionate nature and is a real pleasure to have around. Bundy is good with children, other dogs, sheep, cattle and cats. He would make a great pet for an active family or individual. O345739

It may take quite some time to find additional doctors for Bombala, but moves are underway to find relief for long-serving GP, Dr Colin Pate. Southern NSW Health Services Director of Medical Services, Dr John Gallichio, said last week Bombala was very lucky to have Dr Pate in the community. “He is undoubtedly a very committed, very dedicated doctor who has worked hard for his community”. Dr Pate has been left alone after the resignation of Dr Tove Riphagen, following the departure of her husband, radiographer Dr Andre Riphagen who has accepted
a position elsewhere in the state. Dr Gallichio said recruiting doctors across the whole of southeast NSW was very difficult, but the service was exploring a number of different options. One of these is recruiting a GP trainee registrar. In the meantime, Dr Gallichio said the service was working with Dr Pate to structure a roster that will allow him to have time off. Dr Galliachio said it was lucky the region wasn’t “excessively busy” at the moment, but that could change if there was a sudden outbreak of influenza, or similar.

Upgrade completed at Cooma Hospital Emergency Department Lisa Ashurst All the major construction work on Cooma Hospital’s Emergency Department (ED) has now been completed, the Southern NSW Local Health District advised last week. The $160,000 upgrade has made some very positive improvements to the ED and Liz Mendes, Health Service Manager at the hospital said it has been money very well spent and the feedback Health service manager Liz Mendes. Anne Thompson in the triage area. from patients is very positive. “Patients have been telling us how good it looks and are particularly impressed with the improved level of privacy in the triaging area”, Ms Mendes said. One of the main additions is the sliding security door that now separates the waiting area from the triaging area and emergency ward, which not only provides more security but also provides patients in the ward with a lot more privacy. Patients can now discuss their needs and reasons for coming to the ED in a much more private setting as opposed to having to openly discuss issues with staff in the waiting area. “The triaging area is where we talk to the patient in order to get their history as well as information on what has brought them to the ED so to have this area secured from the main waiting room is a definite plus.” Ms Mendes added. The renovation has also included a private ambulance-only entrance, which is not only more practical for the staff, but offers a greater level of privacy for patients being brought in to the The new security door at the ED. hospital. The make-over to the ED has provided a new emergency services entry, a new patient care area, storage room for emergency equipment. There is also a new a new consulting room, an upgrade to the Closed Circuit Television system, lots of extra storage space and a consulting room that can also be utilised as a dosing room and refurbished patient bathroom which provides much better teleconference room when needed. The ED staff are especially patient access, especially for wheelchairs. New cabinetry in the delighted though with the addition of a staff bathroom. “We workstation has created a much more functional area for the didn’t have one in here, which was a bit awkward, so we’re staff and an extension has opened up more space for a new really thrilled to have one now. It’s our favourite addition!”

Larry turns 83 Larry Adler celebrated in style his 83rd birthday together with his staff on August 3 when Master Chef Craig Young cooked and served delicious finger food at Larry’s rental shop at Nuggets Crossing. A musician by profession, cellist Craig placed 13th before he was eliminated in the current Channel 10 Master Chef series. This involved filming two months, six nights a week in Sydney. Craig combines his two passions in life – music and food – by creating desserts featuring classical music themes such as William Tell apple fritters and Hansel and Gretel gingerbread. He
caters for functions during which he prepares the dish, after which he plays the cello as guests enjoy the food. As a cellist, Craig tours with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra to regional centres, as well as a smaller chamber group of thirteen musicians to smaller Queensland towns. Currently he is orchestrating music for a story on the Excalibur to be performed by the Queensland Ballet. When on tour Craig often cooks lunch for the lucky musicians. Unfortunately he left the cello behind so as to make room for the ski boots when he visited Jindabyne.

Maximizing News a small5 Gino on a ‘wheely’ good thing space Wednesday August 10, 2011
Local inventor Gino Campagnaro was very unlucky not to win last Wednesday’s ‘New Inventors’ program on ABC TV. Gino, probably better known for the many years he operated Cooma Motor Engineers in Cooma, invented a device so simple its concept it looked like a sure winner. Alas, surfing technology bumped him out of first place. As a keen skier, Gino has always had to tackle the issue of carrying his skis when getting to, or from the actual snow. A while ago he invented a ski carrier, but that had to be taken off the skis before they could be used and the device then had to carried by the skier until the end of the day, when it could be attached to the skis again. This new invention is a great improvement in that – it remains on the skis and doesn’t interfere with their operation. But it does allow skiers to wheel their skis along, on smooth or snowy surfaces. It is a simple design.The smooth and spiked wheels are attached to the top of the skis at the back. When not in use, they remain tucked up on their tracks, out of the way. When they are needed, they can be slipped along their tracks and chocked, so they protrude from the end of the back of the skis and then wheeled. Gino’s prototypoes have been put to good use already. He manufactured them in his home workshop in a couple of days, using recycled materials. They have been patented as “ski attachment that you attach to the end of the ski”. Making these attachments wasn’t difficult for Gino, who is a qualifed tool maker. In fact, Gino came to Australia from Venice in 1953 to work in his trade on the Snowy Mountains Scheme (SMA). Working here also allowed him the opportunity to ski, as well. After nine years on the SMA, Gino had saved enough to open his own business, Cooma Motor Engineers, which he owned and operated until his retirement six years ago. During that time, Gino was able to train and employ 60

apprentices in different fields associated with his business, such as fitter and turners, motor mechanics and spare parts, plus others. Obviously being retired has allowed Gino more time to tinker and be creative.

New principal settles in to Cooma Public Students and staff at Cooma Public School welcomed new principal, Stephen Mayhew, into the school community on Monday July 2. He is looking forward to getting to know the children and teaching staff and settling in to the rhythm of the school’s routine. Mr Mayhew has come to Cooma from Jamberoo, where the family home is now on the market, and is looking to buy in the Cooma region. “My wife and I love the country and have lived in several rural areas and we are really looking forward to settling in Cooma.” he said “We’ve moved around a fair bit actually but Cooma could be our last stop.”
Past school positions have been principal at Coniston near Wollongong, Taranna near Goulburn and Coleambally in western NSW as well as many years as an assistant principal and teacher in establishments ranging from small single teacher schools through to larger schools, so Mr Mayhew is bringing a wealth of experience to his position at Cooma Public. “I plan to spend a lot of time in the classrooms rather than being always in the office as this is a good way to see the school firsthand,” he said. Mr Mayhew is also very interested in the new Literacy and Numeracy teaching program being implemented by L3 Coordinator, Deb Geach, and is very pleased to report that Susan Bourke, a member of the teaching staff, will be giving a presentation at a technology conference in Sydney to demonstrate how to use an interactive New Cooma Public School Pincipal, Steven Mayhew. whiteboard.

Sarah running to help MCCR Three years after fighting an illness that pushed her to the limit, Sarah Nettleton is pulling on her running shoes and competing in the August 14 City to Surf race in Sydney. Sarah is competing to benefit the Cooma Oncology unit and all the special people who supported her while she fought cancer. As Sarah told The Monaro Post “Most of you know of my encounter with cancer during 2007-8. You might not know how far I have come since...so far that on August 14, I’m running (ahem, jogging) in the City to Surf raising funds for MCCR (Monaro Committee for Cancer Research). Sarah is running as it is her way of saluting the special people who supported her in so many ways, through a difficult time. Sarah said ”You know who you are. Most of you are here, some not. If I can also encourage others with cancer to see light at the end of what can seem like a very long tunnel, I will be an even happier woman. After all, if I can do this, you can too”. Sarah is more than happy to support the MCCR, for without this group, Cooma’s oncology unit would probably still be just
a plan. She also supports MCCR because it helps local cancer sufferers in practical, tangible ways. “The women of MCCR were largely responsible for getting the Cooma Hospital Oncology Unit off the ground. “When I had to undergo a grim course of chemotherapy, I could do it there and remain at home, sheltered by my nearest and dearest, rather than having to schlep, sick and tired, to Canberra or Sydney. Sarah said this local treatment made a tremendous difference to her, her husband Andy, and children Hugo, Roddy and Deuchar, after she had been away so much. Sarah urges everyone to help her fill a suitcase with donations for MCCR. Donations can be made at www.gofundraise.com. au/page/nettletons
Emergency services report Police observed a 15-year-old male in Mittagang Road, Cooma north on Friday at about 10.30pm with alcohol. When police stopped and spoke to the youth about the alcohol he had been seen with he denied it. Police had watched him drop the bottle and proceed to kick it under a car. He was taken home by police and issued with a minor in possession of liquor in a public place infringement notice. A 45-year-old woman who had stopped at the corner of Barron Street and Sharp Street to give way to traffic failed to see a motorcycle rider who was travelling behind a car. She then collided with the bike rider. The 58-year-old Cooma male rider suffered a fracture to the lower part of his leg and was taken to Cooma hospital and later transferred to Canberra hospital for further treatment. Police enquiries are continuing. A Bombala man aged 35 was attending a party in Bombala when he was involved in an altercation with another male. It began as a verbal dispute but escalated in to an assault, with the victim sustaining a suspected broken eye socket, nose and jaw. The victim was taken by police to Bombala Hospital and then transferred to Cooma Hospital. Police enquiries are continuing into the incident. On Thursday police searched a premises at Bombala and located a small amount of green vegetable matter believed to be cannabis as well as a quantity of synthetic cannabis. They then located a tin, which contained cannabis seeds. A 50-yearold male and a 49-year-old male were issued with a cannabis caution. A commodore travelling towards Cooma from the mountains on Sunday afternoon crossed to the wrong side of the road on Kosciusko Road. A vehicle approaching in the opposite direction then had to take evasive action to avoid a major collision but it was still clipped causing major damage. Both vehicles had to be towed from the scene and no injuries were reported.
Sometime between 5am and 7am on Sunday a restaurant in Jindabyne had what is believed to be human faeces smeared across their front window and door. A load of bread that had been delivered was also contaminated. Anyone with information is asked to contact police. A 23-year-old female from Jindabyne who came to the attention of police due to her driving manner in Jindabyne on Thursday at 1.35am was stopped by police for an RBT. She returned a positive reading of 0.150, she had her licence suspended on the spot and will face Cooma local court at a later date.

“Soup Kitchen� raises $1000 industry. His book uncovers never-before-seen archival sources, government and board papers and private correspondence from inside the Cabinet and the Corporation, as well as exclusive interviews with Paul Keating, Sir William Gunn, Malcolm Fraser and key whistleblowers; whilst also analysing the role government played under Menzies, Sir John ‘Black Jack’ McEwen, Hawke and Howard. Breaking the Sheep’s Back is a gripping true story of government corruption and an industry that thought it was untouchable. With aftershocks to Australia’s worst corporate disaster still being felt 20 years later, Breaking the Sheep’s Back promises to be the must-read political bestseller of the year. Charles Massy’s first book The Australian Merino is now considered a classic. Massy is also a PhD scholar in Human Ecology at the Fenner School of Environment and Society in the ANU college of Medicine, Biology and Environment. In 2011 Charles Massy received an OAM for his service to the wool industry. Breaking the Sheep’s back will be officially launched tonight, at Finkel lecture theatre, The John Curtin School of Medical Research, Garran Road, ANU from 6pm to 7pm. Breaking the Sheep’s Back will feature introductions from former opposition leader, Dr John Hewson and award winning novelist and Braidwood resident, Roger McDonald, before the talk by Charles Massy. Books will be available for sale and signings will take place after the event. The Monaro Post readers can win a copy of the book - see details below.
Local community services organisation Workways Australia donated $1,000 to the Monaro Crisis Accommodation Services during their Soup Kitchen lunch on Thursday August 4. Run during National Homeless Persons’ Week, which was held nationally from August 1 - 7, the aim of the lunch was to raise money for Homelessness Australia and to raise awareness of homelessness in the local community. Workways Cooma and Jindabyne Site Manager, Amanda Steinke said, “Special thanks to our local IGA supermarket who donated the majority of the goods needed to produce the homemade soups. “It was great to see a small supermarket put their hand up to help and really connect with the local community.� Money was raised during the lunch through gold coin donation however the highlight of the day was Workways Australia presenting Monaro Crisis Accommodation Services with a cheque of $1,000 which will go towards buying the necessary items that many disadvantaged people simply can’t afford while living on the street or couch surfing including blankets and food. The Soup Kitchen lunch was an example of how Workways Australia
continues to bridge the gap for disadvantaged people by identifying and highlighting the networks that assist in our local region with other community organisations. “I am very fortunate to live in such a great town as Cooma,� Amanda said. �It is great to be able to work so closely with other motivated community organisations to ensure that less fortunate people don’t end up falling through the cracks. “Workways would like to thank organisations including MCAS and the Hub for their ongoing support in assisting disadvantaged clients.� Workways is a not-for-profit community services organisation that delivers employment services to employers and job seekers through the Australian Government’s Job Services Australia Program. Founded 21 years ago, the organisation provides free employment, youth and indigenous services across eastern Victoria and southern NSW. If you are homeless or at risk of homelessness contact Workways (free call) on 1800 631 196 or visit one of their locations across the Lower South Coast in Bega, Bombala, Cooma, Eden, Jindabyne, Merimbula and Pambula, for confidential assistance.

Local industry leader and author, Charles Massy, has created controversy with the release of his new book “Breaking the Sheep’s Back�. The book exposes what was Australia’s biggest business disaster and it had massive implications nationally and globally, but there was never an official enquiry. An industry inextricably linked to Australia’s national character, it was ultimately betrayed by its government and by its own people. Mr Massy’s seminal new book exposes – for the first time – the shocking true story behind the $10 billion collapse of Australia’s wool industry. Spanning 170 years from the birth of the industry in 1840 through to its boom during the 50s and the Korean War, and the giant unravelling from 1980 to 1991; it’s a searing account of greed, political corruption and heavy-handed protectionism. Australia’s wool industry was the greatest wool economy of the world and the nation’s largest export earner but in 1991 its spectacular collapse with the scrapping of the Reserve Price Scheme (RPS) led to the wool industry shrinking to a third of its size, along with with 4.7 million bales of wool on the stockpile. Its loss was bigger than the HIH collapse and it hit every link in the wool chain from the growers to manufacturers, from Japan to Italy, with companies losing millions and millions of dollars and bankruptcies becoming the order of the day. Massy reveals how the Country Party’s (and later National Party’s) institution of protectionism in Australian industries led to a cosseting from the commercial world and precipitated wool’s fatal fall from grace. Statutory intervention was steamrolled against the wishes of the woolgrowers and was not the Merino’s saviour, but ultimately instrumental in its demise. Charles Massy was appointed in 1993 by the then Federal Primary Industries Minister Simon Crean to be a ‘Change Agent’ on the boards of the International Wool Secretariat (IWS) and the Australian Wool Research and Promotion Organisation (AWRAPO) and has been privy to the inner workings and corruption of the

Nominate a local volunteer hero
There are just a few weeks left to nominate local volunteers for the 2011 NSW Volunteer of the Year Award, Member for Monaro John Barilaro said. Mr Barilaro said nominations for the awards will close on Wednesday, August 31. “The annual awards recognise the outstanding efforts of the 2.4 million volunteers in NSW and promote the importance of volunteering to the community and economy,” Mr Barilaro said. “The awards will recognise a Youth Volunteer of the Year, Senior Volunteer of the Year and 19 regional winners. “There are also awards for the Volunteer Team of the Year and Employee (Corporate) Volunteer of the Year. “As a special one-off to mark 10
years since the International Year of Volunteering (IYV) was celebrated in 2001, there is also an IYV+10 NSW Award for Volunteer Management. “Award winners will each receive a certificate and a cash prize to donate to a not-for-profit organisation of their choice. “I know there are many quiet achievers in the Monaro who would be worthy nominees for these awards” Mr Barilaro said. Regional awards will be presented at local ceremonies in October and November and these winners will comprise the finalists from which overall State winners are selected. State-wide winners will be named at a ceremony celebrating International Volunteer Day on December 5. Minister for Citizenship and
Communities Victor Dominello MP who has responsibility for Volunteering, said the NSW Government has committed $27,000 to the 2011 NSW Volunteer of the Year Award, run by the Centre for Volunteering. “The people who generously and selflessly donate their time and skills as volunteers enrich the lives of others as well as their own,” Minister Dominello said. “I want to congratulate the Centre for Volunteering for its ongoing commitment to recognising volunteers and I encourage people across the State to get involved in the 2011 awards and nominate their local heroes.” For more information and to nominate, visit www. nswvolunteerawards.com

Planning for the future of Kosciuszko’s caves and limestone landscapes
A new advisory group has been established involving the NPWS managers and caving experts to guide the management of Kosciuszko’s caves and limestone landscape. (From left to right). Mick Pettitt (NPWS), Peter Bauer, John Brush, George Bradford (NPWS), Dave Darlington (NPWS), Denis Marsh, Pam O’Brien (NPWS). The longer term sustainable management of Kosciuszko National Park’s extraordinary caves and limestone landscapes has become the focus of a strong and positive collaboration between the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) and a new advisory group made up largely of recreational caving experts. The formation of the Kosciuszko Speleological Reference Group (KSRG) was a recommendation of the 2006 Kosciuszko Plan of Management. NPWS Southern Ranges Regional Manager, Dave Darlington, predicts that the Group will make a hugely positive contribution toward the management of karst in the park. “Karst is a term not widely understood by the broader community but it describes the geological formations comprised of limestone which can be above the ground or caves under the ground. “Kosciuszko is blessed with a considerable array of karst landscapes such as the famous Yarrangobilly Caves, the Cooleman and Blue Waterholes complex, Indi Caves and a small area near the Black Perry landscape. “They are all amazing features that are enjoyed by a large number of enthusiasts and experts in their own right known as speleologists. “The KSRG has now met twice and will support our efforts to
develop a Geodiversity Action Plan for the Park over the next six months. The members of the KSRG will be able to offer us insight into karst management from a recreational point of view with a very strong scientific knowledge base. “This group, like the body of speleologists they represent, are intensely interested in sustainable use and enjoyment of karst systems. They clearly do not want the use of karst systems for recreational purposes to be at the expense of cave systems and karst landscapes. KSRG representative, John Brush, said the Group was very much looking forward to working with the NPWS on the development of a plan that will help protect the park’s Geodiversity. “Karst landscapes, particularly caves, have evolved over millennia and can be extremely vulnerable to all sorts of disturbance. Cave systems are incredibly fragile and so easily damaged. “We want to help the NPWS develop a plan that recognises the desire of people to see these marvellous places without causing damage. “In doing so we will advise the NPWS on the best means of communicating with the speleological community to get a collective view and offer some expert experience and knowledge on karst systems,” Mr Brush said.
Workshops to benefit local tourism businesses Tourism Snowy Mountains will conduct a series of workshops in the region over the next six months to support local tourism operators in further developing their businesses. NSW Trade and Investment is supporting Tourism Snowy Mountains, providing $24,400 towards the cost of running the series. The workshops will be scheduled to run in the off peak times for operators in each area. Workshops in Tumut and Tumbarumba will be during the winter season while those in Cooma and the Snowy River Shire will be held over the summer. Tourism Snowy Mountains has tailored the content of the workshops to meet the needs of each shire in the region and sourced specialist presenters for each topic. The workshop topics were developed by Tourism Snowy Mountains following consultation with tourism operators, business chambers and local government.
Snowy Mountains Workshop schedule: •Tumut/Tumbarumba: Practical marketing for small business (17 Aug) and Packaging tourism product (12 October) – both presented by Todd Wright; with Websites for tourism businesses (22 November) presented by Fabienne Rabbiosi from Untanglemyweb • Jindabyne: Social media (27 September) presented by Laurel Papworth from World Communication •Jindabyne/Cooma: Motivational/Growing business (13 October) presented by Linda Hailey; Practical marketing for small business (7 December) presented by Todd Wright • Cooma: Websites for tourism businesses (23 November) presented by Fabienne Rabbiosi from Untanglemyweb For more information and to register to attend these workshops, contact Tourism Snowy Mountains on 02 6457 2751 or tsm@ snowymountains.com. au.

The acid nature of many of these drinks will also cause enamel erosion if consumed regularly. Water is the best option for maintaining good oral health. If you do consume soft drinks it is advisable to have them with a meal when saliva can clear it away. “Smoking is also a real problem for dental health as well as overall health,” Ms Winders said. “It reduces saliva flow to the mouth which increases the risk of dental decay and gum disease.

Not happy with monopoly
the
postman calls
Things don’t seem to be going too well for our PM or the Immigration Minister at present. Who would have thought the High Court had been elected by the Australian people and could therefore over rule a decision by people who were actually elected. While the decision the High Court has over ruled was NOT sanctioned by parliament (in fact, it was voted against), the point is – the decision was made by people who were elected by other Australians. The Postman awaits the time when members of the High Court are popularly elected. In the meantime, if the High Court is going to spring into action on behalf of non-residents of Australia, one can only expect it to do the same for the rest of us who are residents, pay taxes and vote! And while we’re having a whinge about inequality, spare a thought for our older citizens facing their twilight years in an aged care institution. Under new legislation planned by the Productivity Commission our oldies are going to be left with no option other than to sell their family home, or mortage it, so they can afford to be accommodated in care. Now these, in the main, are people who have done the hard yards, managed to work and save to create a family home, paid taxes and contributed to our society in hundreds of different ways. They deserve the right to be cared for without having to flog off the family home to pay for it. If we can afford to accommodate thousands of ‘refugees’, provide them with phones, lawyers, etc, etc, ad nauseum, then we can afford to look after our own seniors. The ABC is planning cuts to several local programs, such as The Collectors, New Inventors, Spicks and Specks – programs which make it worth turning on the telly. Thankfully our clever inventor Gino made it on air before the cuts. But we think you were robbed, Gino!
Editor, I am a long time customer of Cooma pharmacies and find it most disappointing that our current two Chemist shops are not offering the standard of customer services Canberra and other regional pharmacies provide. The present monopoly has downgraded ‘in shop’ cosmetics, extended gift offerings to the detriment of genuine pharmacy lines, lobbied to service Yallambee Hostel and Sir William Hudson nursing home yet will not give seniors discounts. The supermarket shop in Sharp street looked very smart when relocated however most experienced staff have long gone, and apart from the pharmacist ‘on duty’ very
few staff seem to have product knowledge. I write this letter on behalf of the many Cooma people who have approached the subject with me – they are disgruntled with the standard of our monopoly and some are going to Canberra, Jindabyne or Berridale for chemist needs. Unfortunately Federal Legislative constraints restrict Cooma to two pharmacy outlets – however if the monopoly is not servicing the region satisfactorily there will be an official complaint. How about offering one outlet to a local who will be keen to offer better services to the Cooma community? Sue Litchfield Countegany
Another Curley One Not For Real? Reality shows are all the craze, And many people love to gaze At situations true and real, Or so it’s claimed in endless spiel. What is fiction what is fact Or is it only one big act? This doesn’t seem to worry some While others think it’s just plain dumb! They struggle to rebuild their ‘block’ The changes made are quite a shock.
Yards are changed from being a mess To take on quite a glossiness. Families leave and on return Their house has taken quite a turn.

Building approvals hit by uncertainty Statement by Executive Director of had only been a marginal decrease with respect to private sector houses but this the MBA-ACT, John Miller represented small comfort when viewed Canberra’s peak building and construction industry organisation, Master Builders ACT has pointed to the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics building approvals figures as providing clear-cut evidence of the need for interest rates to remain on hold for the foreseeable future.
against the significant decline in approvals with respect to multi-unit developments.
The executive director of the MBA-ACT, John Miller said the building approvals data for June revealing a national seasonallyadjusted decline total dwelling units approved of 3.5 per cent was proof of the continuing parlous state of consumer sentiment.
Mr Miller said that in all the circumstances it was to be hoped that the Reserve Bank would opt to leave interest rates on hold at this week’s meeting of the RBA Board.
“The only positive which can be drawn from this latest ABS data is that the trend data for the ACT was at least still trending up in June,” he said.
“Not only are these building approvals figures very much a matter for concern, there is the continuing uncertainty both in “The building approvals data released Europe and the US,” he said. in May was significantly negative, and the Mr Miller said he believed the continuing data for June paints a very gloomy picture adverse news coming out of Europe and indeed,” he said. the US had combined with domestic Mr Miller said that, particularly disturbing, affairs to make Australian consumers very was the 4.2 per cent decline with respect cautious. to private sector dwellings – the most “I cannot see that changing significantly significant fall to have been recorded this until the tide of bad news changes and we year. believe interest rates should be left on hold Looking at the data for the ACT, Mr Miller until then,” he said. said he was pleased to note that there
Carbon Tax Pain for New Housing, Jobs and Consumers The Federal Government’s decision to ignore the residential building industry in today’s carbon tax announcements will have painful and widespread repercussions, according to the Housing Industry Association, the voice of Australia’s residential building industry. “Housing affordability is already at a distressing level, new housing supply is well below underlying demand and housing activity is declining to mid1990’s levels,” said Graham Wolfe. “Families buying a new home will now face additional building costs and higher mortgage repayments.” “New housing is already designed and built to meet stringent energy regulations that make them substantially more energy efficient than existing homes. Lifting the cost of new homes further through a new tax, without any benefit at all to the individual home buyer makes no sense,” said Mr Wolfe. “Unfortunately, jobs in Australia’s residential building sector and building product manufacturing sector will be lost under this carbon tax,” Mr Wolfe added.
“Competing against imports from non-CO2-e taxing countries, Australian building product manufacturers face a cost collage as the carbon tax is passed on down the line into the inputs for each production and fabrication phase,” Mr Wolfe said. “Building materials and products, such as kitchen cabinets and benchtops, windows and doors, and wall linings and finishes, will increase in price, or be sourced from overseas – or both.” “If production goes offshore, so too will Australian jobs, and more than likely without any net global CO2-e benefit,” he stressed. “Tens of thousands of trade exposed manufacturers have been forgotten or ignored in today’s announcements.” “What we need are policies to place new energy efficient housing within reach of the average home buyer and to provide incentives for current home owners to make their homes more energy efficient,” added Mr Wolfe.

Healthy bones Vitamin D is vital for strong, healthy bones - and boosting vitamin D levels can be as simple as going for a short walk in the sunshine. This week is National Healthy Bones Week and the Jean Hailes Foundation for Women’s Health is encouraging women to maintain vitamin D levels by spending a few minutes outdoors on most days of the week. “Vitamin D is important for bone health but we often receive messages about reducing the risk of skin cancer by staying out of the sun. So some people are not getting enough sun exposure to maintain adequate vitamin D levels,� says Dr Sonia Davison, an endocrinologist with the Jean Hailes Foundation who is also part of the Women’s Health Research Program at Monash University. People who spend most of their time indoors, those who work irregular hours or shift work, the elderly, people with darker skin and people who cover their skin for religious or cultural reasons are at particular risk of having inadequate vitamin D. Around eight out of 10 people in these groups in Australia have some form of vitamin D deficiency. Osteoporosis Australia recommends spending six to eight minutes in the sun four to six times a week – but during summer we should avoid the sun between 10am and 2pm. Without vitamin D we can’t absorb enough calcium to build strong bones, teeth and muscles, says Dr Davison. Vitamin D also helps with cell growth, hormone function, nervous system regulation and keeps our immune system healthy. Some foods contain vitamin D - such as liver, fish, egg yolk, margarine and some milks and other dairy products, and vitamin D supplements are also available. “Talk to your GP about vitamin D and it’s very easy to have a blood test to check your vitamin D level,� says Dr Davison. But if you want to improve your bone health in a very simple and effective way, go for a daily walk, do some gardening or go for a run and get a bit of sun exposure on your arms. “Weight bearing exercise also helps maintain healthy bones, so if you exercise outdoors on a regular basis it will certainly improve your vitamin D levels.�

Mature mob at Eden Last Thursday August 4, Mature Mob enjoyed a day of splendid warm weather, lots of fun, good times and very educational talks at Southland Fish Supplies and the Eden Killer Whale Museum. A feature of the day was the talk from Barry, the volunteer explainer at the Whale Museum. He related the relationship between humans and killer whales and its
development over 80 years. During the journey, bus driver Grant Walker provided entertaining and informative comments to the appreciative passengers. A great day was had by all! Next trip is to Floriade on Thursday October 6. Mature Mob is an Initiative of the Anglican Parish of Cooma.

Poor weather and small attendance have reduced shooting activity during the last three Saturdays. Next Saturday morning, however, the range is being made available to a south coast group to demonstrate the periscope rifle, invented at Gallipoli and used there by the Australian, New Zealand and British forces. Their initial design of the

periscope was based on an Australian War Memorial example and contemporary photographs, but they are testing a modified design of their own this time. Anyone who is interested is welcome to attend, from 9am to 1pm next Saturday at the rifle range, which is accessed through Cooma saleyards.
Junior Devils mixed results Under 13s V Eddies lost 19 – 10 The Mainstreet under 13s boys faced a tough Eddies side on Saturday with a few of their players away or out injured, not to mention Jarrod Sopniewski who lasted a whole minute before dislocating and breaking his finger, resulting in him being out for the remainder of the season. The boys tried all game against a not surprisingly stronger team of Eddie’s boys. It was a tough day injury wise, but the boys gave 110 percent the whole game. They did all the hard things brilliantly but a couple of decisions didn’t work and that cost the game. Coach Chris Allen said they should be very proud to stand up that well against that particular side. Aaron Brown continues to improve with every game and the ball is now being passed out to the wing on a regular basis enabling the whole field to be utilised. Ryan Van Gemert played the game of his life on Saturday, he produced something that had never been seen from him before, he played a totally awesome game. Will Moore, after a couple of weeks off also played a great game and produced some really good rugby. The team lacked in cleaning out the ball from the rucks and mauls but this will be worked on at training on Thursday. Points this week went to Ryan Van Gemert – 3, Charlie Allen – 2 and Will Moore 1. Next week will be another tough game at home, this time against Goulburn.
ROUND 24

The periscope rifle was invented at Gallipoli.
Under 10s V Wests won 44 – 0 In front of the home supporters the Melray Meat under 10s started slowly, with what looked like it may be a close game. This was only a tease to the Wests team with Cooma soon dominating the game and making the half time score 27 – 0. Each week the team is getting stronger and playing together as a team should. The whole team attacked really well this week and listened to what their coach said. Spencer Walker-Broose made a great run down the field this week and it looks as though Spencer has finally found his rugby legs. Broc Allen, as usual tackled his heart out all game, often taking on much larger opponents and bringing them crashing down. He also displayed a great defensive game for one of the smaller players. The light of foot players in the team, Remy Oldrey and Keegan Caldwell, again made several great runs forward and breaks down the paddock. Bailey Rogers was his usual self, running all over the field all game and making some very good play. Colby Evans had a great game, running the ball a good distance up the field as well as being there all the time for the pass. Points this week went to Rhys Sopniewski – 3, Bentley WalkerBroose 2 and Harry Litchfield 1. Next Saturday the boys are again playing at home, this time against Broulee which should be a tough game as they only lost to Broulee by 2 points last time they played them, this time though the devils have the home advantage.

36 Sport More good results for div four and five The weather in Canberra on Saturday may have been cold and wet, but the Cooma Tigers teams that took to the field warmed the hearts of everyone with their displays of courage, determination, and skill. Division four took on fierce rivals Lanyon at Conder, determined to avoid the wooden spoon for yet another year. With a squad decimated by injury, Coach Walker called on his fringe players to step up; which they did with style. Impressive performances from Michael Warren, Jono Armstrong, Chris Moruz, Dave Elliott, and the coach himself Daniel Walker, were the highlight of the day for the Div four boys. Clear chances were few and far between for both sides, but Todd Preston and Mark Jordon both came very close with stinging strikes. A brave performance in goals from Michael Corcoran saved the Tigers on a few occasions, and Peter Vandeburgt covered himself in glory by heading off the line in the dying minutes. Over on the other side of Canberra, division five ran out against a Belwest side that could still overtake them in the race for fourth place. ‘Glenn’ Woodhouse was leading the troops, and he had the boys fired up from the first whistle. The long awaited return of captain Paul Lawson gave Tim Jordan the freedom of the midfield, and
once again he pulled the strings and controlled the game. A pacey and powerful frontline consisting of Cam Wall, Lachlan King, and Andrew Bobinskas terrorized the Belwest defenders; and with the speed and skill of Andrew Jeffrey and James Douglas bombing down the wings, Belwest were all at sea. Despite their dominant performance, the goals just wouldn’t come. It took a moment of genius to break the deadlock. Tim Jordan, prowling on the edge of the area, pounced on a cross-field pass and curled a beauty into the top corner for a 1-0 lead at half-time. The second half was a tense affair, but no more goals would come. John Gargett was, once again, outstanding in goals, and the backline of Steven Murphy, Brendan Wall, and Abdulkabir Lawal stood firm. So, another draw and win for the squad. With the last two games at home, expect a strong finish from both teams. With Div four hoping to avoid a lastplace finish, and Div five chasing a spot in the top four, it should be an exciting close to the season. Man-of-the-match awards Div 4: Todd Preston, Mark Burke, Damian Knight Div 5: Tim Jordaon, Andrew Jeffrey, Lachlan King
Lady Tigers div three 4-1 against Lanyon Lady Tigers Div three faced off Lanyon at Nijong last Saturday and bearing in mind at their last outing Lanyon defeated the Lady Tigers 4 – 0 it was time for the Tigers to see what they were made of especially at their home ground. The weather was warm for this time of year with a slight wind which did not give either side any real advantage, the match started with a very determined Tigers taking the game to Lanyon and this became very evident when Meghan Taylor stunned everyone by managing to place the ball past the Lanyon keeper in the first 30 seconds of the match (poor Mick and Zac). From that point on the Tigers had control and Lanyon had no answers and although the ball did shuttle back and forth between the two goals with some good football by both sides both keepers managed to keep it out of their net until the 29th minute when Karlee Pateman took charge of the ball on the left wing and through a brilliant display of ball control dribbled through the Lanyon defence and shot the ball straight into the Lanyon goal giving the keeper no chance at all, at the break Cooma lead 2 – nil. The second half started with a very different and by far a more determined Lanyon on the field, right from the whistle they took a shot at the Tigers goal but Libby the Tigers keeper was awake and anticipated just such a move and easily saved the shot. This galvanized Lanyon to greater effort and they pushed forward with all they had and in the 46th minute they were rewarded with an
opportunity which found the Tigers keeper out of position and C. Harvey number 13 of Lanyon made no mistake by placing a beautiful long range ball past just outside Libby’s reach into the Tigers net. Making the score 2 – 1. Encouraged with this success Harvey pushed forward yet again but this time Libby was on to her, charging forward and stopping an almost certain goal by sliding to the feet of the Lanyon striker and deflecting the shot, Harvey again managed to create a goal scoring opportunity for herself but again Libby proved up to the task and kept the ball out of the Tigers net. From this point on the game took on a new look with both teams moving into a higher gear and it became a game of skill and fitness and although the Tigers were suffering from a number of injuries and illnesses they were doing a shade better by stringing a number good confident passes by the midfield and a solid defence by Candice, Brooks and Lovell. In the 55th minute the Lanyon defence made a mistake underrating Alicia Connell and she made them pay the price maneuvering through their defence and placing a left foot shot past the stunned Lanyon keeper into the bottom left hand corner giving the Tigers their third goal, this stung Lanyon because soon after Karlee capitalised on a Lanyon defensive misunderstanding between the defenders and their keeper and added a second goal to her tally and a forth for the Tigers and the match ended Lady Tigers 4 – Lanyon 1.
Lady Tigers Division 3 defeat ANU Vipers After Saturday’s game against Lanyon the Lady Tigers Div three faced off ANU Vipers at Nijong on Sunday. The match started with the Vipers down three players, but though outnumbered and out gunned they did credit to themselves by holding the Lady Tigers right up to the 23rd minute before Shelly Russell managed to put the Tigers on the board, this was followed by Millie Abernathy scoring her first goal for the Tigers on the 32nd minute, the first half ended 2 – Nil for the Tigers. The second half commenced and the match continued to remain in the Vipers half of the field and it wasn’t long before Kate Xenochristou found the
target and added a third goal for the Tigers, this was followed by very well placed shot by Meghan Taylor (double poor Mick and Zac) to take the score to 4 – nil. Next came an opportunity for Lianne Hayward who sent a thundering shot into the Vipers net and the score was 5 – nil. Lynsey Nichols completed the score by placing the ball past the Vipers keeper for the sixth and final goal. The end result Tigers 6 ANU Vipers nil. For an outnumbered team the ANU Vipers did very well and deserve full credit for courage, perseverance and good sportsmanship.

Rock men Premier League PREMIER LEAGUE; The road to the top four is getting very rocky for the Tigers. After losing 2-1 to Canberra City on Sunday afternoon, with three games to go and nine points to grab, the Tigers have to hope that Canberra City lose the next two games. If Cooma were to win the last remaining games then they will be on 25 points. After beating the champions of the tournament, that is to say, the Goliath of the tournament last week, in comparison with last week this Sunday Cooma had a poor performance. It was hard to watch as Cooma had hardly any chances to shoot at the goals except for the only goal that
Cooma scored through Dom Labutte. Canberra city’s defence neutralised every single attack even though Cooma put a lot of pressure in the midfield in the second half. The best players this week were: Kosanovski, Schofield, De Witte, Elliott and Yarnold. PREMIER PATHWAY; A completely different panorama for the pathways team. They managed a draw, nil all, against Canberra City. The draw will keep them in the top 4. The game was even for most of the two halves, but Cooma was the one with closest opportunities in front of goal. Zac Schoon could have twice claimed the title of hero but in both occasions just could not score.
Cooma Tigers U/18s 4 Canberra City 2 The game was fairly even for the first 10 minutes but at 11.12 and Canberra City scored to be ahead at 1-0. The team picked up and threatened the Canberra City box and at 11.21 some great teamwork and commitment at the net saw Jordan Glover slam in the equaliser. 1 all. Cooma then picked up the pace and threatened the Canberra City goal and at 11.34 a determined Chris Phillips drilled home a Cooma goal. 2-1. At 11.44 Ciaran Rayment took his turn and drove home goal number three for 3-1 score line right before half time. The second half was a tight contest.
We had shots on their goal and they had shots on ours. Thankfully our defenders were on the ball keeping us safe. Some impressive Cooma teamwork saw the backline, midfield and strikers maintaining good pressure and at 12.21 Brenton Reis breaks through with goal number 4. Some small mistakes allowed a desperate Canberra City to score again at 12.35. 4-2. Cooma had several more shots on the Canberra goal but came away with a satisfying win. Final score Cooma 4, Canberra City 2.
Cooma Tigers U/16s 1 Canberra City 2 With no substitutes on the bench and a freezing and foggy start, this was always going to be a tough game. With the crowd still trying to find a warm spot after kick off, Cooma were unfortunate to concede a goal, following some defensive confusion and an unlucky deflection. The game then settled into an even contest, with both teams enjoying good passages of play and opportunities on goal. A great cross in from Cooma was met by a strong Reis header, but a wonderful save from the City keeper denied Cooma the equaliser. Cooma then had two header attempts following another great cross in, but failed to trouble the City keeper. At the other end, the Cooma keeper Barton was in customary fine form, saving well from a host of City chances including from a free kick. Just before the break, Cooma were lucky not to concede as City did well to round the Barton, but then hit the post with the whole goal open. The resulting rebound was charged down by City, but the thundering strike at goal was blocked by Barton and then cleared off the line by Gazy (who then took a few
minutes to recover from the excitiment that had just unfolded). The second half started brightly for Cooma. Reis broke through the City defence, but the resulting shot was wide of goal. A free kick to Cooma was put nicely into the penalty box but glanced past all players when only the slightest of touches would have been a certain goal. City also had its chances but the Cooma defence held strong. On one such advance by City, the attempt at goal was thwarted. The Cooma keeper Barton then cleared quickly to Reis who took control of the ball, but was outnumbered 1 to 3. With no other options, he held on to the ball and muscled his way into the penalty box and was then pushed over by the frustrated City defenders. The ref pointed to the penalty spot. Reis calmly put away the penalty and the scores were tied. With the game headed for a deserved draw, City manage to slip past the Cooma defence and score a heartbreaking winner. 1-2 to City.

Red Devils spirited performance in the damp The Cooma Red Devils took on the West’s rugby club from Canberra on Saturday afternoon in Cooma. Reserve grade knew it was going to be a big game for them if they wanted to keep their semi final hopes alive as West’s are the standout team in fourth division and are the competition front runners. From the opening kick off it soon became apparent what the West’s game plan was and that was to keep it in their forwards who were much larger and stronger than the Cooma pack. West’s rolling maul was one of their main go forward weapons and for the first 15 minutes of the game Cooma were on the back foot as Wests were winning most of the set pieces and had all the ball. It was not long before they crossed for the first two tries of the game. Cooma eventually started to get its hands on the ball and when in control of possession made good in roads around the edge of the ruck as well as through the mid field. But it was Wests who were able to capitalise on a Cooma mistake and score again leading 19-0 it was starting to look like it was going to be a long day for the Red Devils. Wests looked like they were going to score again but great tackling from Luke Van Der Plaat, Glen Crimmins, Aron Rogers and Campbell Young prevented further points. Cooma was starting to get back into the contest just before half time and a scrum 30 metres out allowed Tom Williams to go on a blindside raid were he beat the first defender then with a draw and pass was able to put Aron Rogers over under the posts. Nathan Boate converted the try and Cooma went to the half time break down 19-7. Cooma talked about running the bigger Wests forwards around in the second half as the Cooma backline had greater speed advantage and knew if they controlled the ball at the break down then they could try and reel in the large lead that Wests had established. The second half didn’t start how Cooma wanted and it was Wests who scored the first try to take the lead to 24-7. This kicked the Red Devils into gear and the side stepped up its intensity in both defence and attack. Tom Williams was again proving hard to contain and from a midfield break Cooma attacked back to the blind side and Adam Schofield was able to score after taking a great pop pass from Mitch Wiley. Nathan again kicked the conversion and Cooma was starting to get back into the arm wrestle. The Cooma backs were starting to find holes in the Wests defence and it was not long before Pat Dorahy was in open space but a great cover tackle saw Pat cut down centimetres from the try line. From the ensuing play James Strange was able to cross out wide. Boate missed the conversion but at 24-19 it was game on with 14 minutes remaining. Both sides picked up the intensity and tempers flared when one of the Wests players collected a Cooma player high, this turned into a brawl and when play resumed both sides were short two players after the red cards had been produced. Cooma kept on attacking and play was going from one end to the other but neither side could get across the line. With five minutes to go Cooma was attacking the Wests
line and with quick ball Tom Williams was able to beat and they started to work for each other and lifted their the Wests fly half and score under the posts - the try was intensity in defence. Strong tackling from Josh Fraser, Matt Gibbs and Adam Schubert stopped the easy go forward that Wests had been getting early in the game. Half way through the first half Ben Kelly pounced on a Wests pass and took the intercept. He ran the 30 metres to score and get Cooma back into the game. Matt Gibbs was able to convert from wide out and Cooma had the margin back to 7. From the kick off Cooma was able to get a bit of a roll on, playing some good composed rugby. Will Nichols saw that the Wests fullback was out of position and toed ahead for Curtis Watkins who grubbered ahead again and out sprinted the cover defence to dive on the ball and score. The conversion was unsuccessful but at 14-12 it turned into a real dog fight. Wests spent the last 15 minutes of the half inside the Cooma 22. Great goal line defence from the whole Cooma side saw the Wests side held up seven times with Steven Boate showing great leadership and somehow being underneath the ball every time Wests got across the line. Eventually Cooma did crack and Wests scored and so went to half time leading 19-12. After half time Cooma came out looking to try to run down the deficit but it was Wests who found the better running, keeping Cooma inside their own half for much of the half. The highlight for Cooma in the second half was when from a scrum inside Cooma’s own 22 Steven Boate was able to dummy and run to the 50 metre line where he linked up with Phil Johnson who kicked ahead twice but with a bad bounce was unable to regather the ball instead it popped up to Neil Schouten who was able to gather converted and Cooma hit the lead for the first time 26-24. the ball in and score.

Hot action in mixed bowls In weather that could only be described as poor, the semi finals of the mixed pairs were decided last Sunday. Olga Jebbink and Sergio Roncelli started well against Daphne Fraser and Peter Caldwell and held an 8/6 lead. Daphne and Peter then scored five shots on the 10th end and from there and from then on, everything went their way with Olga and Sergio only allowed two more shots for Daphne and Peter to move into the final by way of a 30/10 win. They meet Jim Fletcher and Leonie Snell, who moved to the final by way of a forfeit from Renate Winckel and John Vincent. Social Bowls on Saturday saw Mary Phillips and Neil McGregortake on Ken Boate and Leonie Snell and come out ahead 24/16 while Jim Fletcher and Peter Harris allowed Una Roberson and Don Jarvis only six scoring ends for nine shots to the victors 30. Sunday’s weather was a little kinder for the final of the mixed Pairs with Jim Fletcher and Leonie Snell against Daphne Fraser and Peter Caldwell. The early ends were real nail biters and after eight ends the scores were locked at 7/7. Five of the next six ends went to Jim and Leonie to give them a 9/11 lead. Six shots to Daphne and Peter in the next three ends put them right back in the game to trail by just 17/19. The final four ends went to Jim and Leonie with two shots per end which gave them a far from easy victory of 27/17. Congratulations to Jim and Leonie as Mixed Pairs Champions for 2011. Xin Cottam and Colin Roberson dominated the early ends against Mario Frezza and Neil McGregor in their handicap pairs match and although Mario and Neil scored five shots on the second end, it was not until the ninth and tenth ends that they scored again. From that point on Xin and Colin dominated and ran ou the winners 24/15 to move to the semi final. Ten bowlers turned out for social bowls on Sunday with Lorraine West and Paul Cannell getting an early start on Dawn Russell and Geoff Venables to lead 12/0, which proved too much for Dawn and Geoff to catch, giving Lorraine and Paul a 24/14 win. In the only other Social game, Mary Phillips, Keith Goodwin and Ron Gammon got away to a dream start in winning the first six ends to lead Ron Wainwright, Mary Murphy and Nelson Wallace 11/0. Nelson’s team then scored ten shots over the next four ends and the game developed into a real contest with Ron’s team sneaking home 19/17.

Undermanned Stallions in split venues Reserve Grade First Grade The Cooma Stallions had to split this Once again the club was split in two week with the Reserve grade travelling to with the First Grade travelling to Narooma Cobargo and the first Grade side playing to take on the devils at the unusual time in Narooma. of 6pm on a Saturday night. The Reserves were well undermanned With a number of players missing and due to unavailability of a number of players due to work commitments and injuries. The 18s did not play so a couple were called up to help out and performed well. The Cobargo side is currently leading the reserve grade comp and while Cooma were well under strength they competed well and just run out of steam in the latter stages of the game. With two weeks until the semis and a number of players due back from injuries it all looks good for the side. They will play Bega next week at home with the possibility then of a home semi the following week. Best for Cooma were Andrew Jakins, & Dean Lewis. A big thank you to the juniors who helped out with the numbers.
having to ask some players from reserve grade to back up it was always going to be a difficult assignment. The guys were right in the match but Narooma skipped away in the last quarter to take the game 34 – 18. The Stallions were really struggling at this stage to keep 13 on the field as we went into the game under manned and with a couple of guys carrying injuries. Best for Cooma were Steven Russell, Matty Salvestro and Andrew Boller. Also there were three guys making their first grade debut, Andrew Jakins, Tom Harmey and Keith Robinson. A big thank you to these guys as it was put onto them late to join the squad and they did not hesitate to help out the side. The firsts will now have a week off and prepare for a home semi against Tathra on the following Sunday Augus 21. At this stage it looks like we will have two grades at home so hope to see plenty of support over there.
Cooma Fillies too quick for Narooma The Cooma Fillies travelled to Narooma on Saturday with high hopes of erasing the memory of a significant defeat to the Devils on the road earlier in the season. Having a full complement of players and with the prospect of a top of the table position looming, the girls were focussed and confident in their chances. The Fillies kicked off and the opening set of the game showed how much the girls’ defence has improved this season, shutting down the Narooma playmakers and starting dominantly. With the Fillies first touch of the ball, Patrice Ingram shimmied through solid defence to crash over under the posts and start the game in good position. Cooma continued to show their authority over the game early in the first half with Alicia Clarke speeding away for the Fillies second try. Defensive efforts of Maree and Patrice Ingram kept Narooma at bay, and
Georgie Clarke putting her heavily injured body on the line time and time again ensured that the Fillies did not falter. Two quick tries to Narooma surprised Cooma, and at half time, with the score at 8-all, it was anyone’s game. The second half began in fiery form. The urgency of both teams led to some silly mistakes and it was obvious that the game was going to be one by the team who could stay focussed. Jade Lee showed why she is so valued to the team by chasing down a length of the field break and grasping the tag a mere half a meter from the try line. Her efforts were supported by Kate and Abby Schofield who shared the fullback role and ensured that Narooma’s kicking game delivered no points. Tara Barnes charged through the line for a half field break to put the Fillies in good field position mid way through the
second half, and with scores still tied, Anna Steel cut through the defence on the back of offloads by Alicia Clarke and Patrice Ingram to extend the lead to 128, before Narooma hit back again. The Fillies stepped up through the consistently strong efforts of Alana Nichols, Paige Kucks, Shannon Schofield, Margie Rankin and Louise Barron and set the field to allowed Patrice Ingram to cross yet again. Having lost one and drawn one against Narooma in the past, as the siren sounded it was ever so sweet for the Fillies to come away with the victory. Points this week went to Jade Lee (3), Patrice Ingram (2) and Paige Kucks (1) with players’ player a tie between sister Patrice and Maree Ingram. Cooma Fillies 16 (P. Ingram, 2, A. Clarke, A. Steel) def. Narooma Devils 12.

Cats’ determined but defeated
An under-strength and season-weary Cooma Cats went down to a determined and finals-bound Cootamundra Blues at Snowy Oval on the weekend. The final score read Cooma 10-8-68 defeated by Cootamundra 14-16-100. While the result was disappointing for the Cats, club president Dave Paterson was full of praise for the Cooma side. “Apart from a period in the second quarter, we pretty well matched the much fitter and stronger Cootamundra side which was a real credit to the team,” Dave said. “In fact, we actually outscored the Cootamundra side in the second half which was really pleasing to see. “It was a matter of playing for pride in front of a small but loyal local crowd and the players didn’t let those fans, nor themselves, down,” Dave said. The Cootamundra side got off to a flying start with a number of great goals in the first quarter from outside of the 50 metre arc, and things did not look good for Cooma. However, the Cats quickly regrouped and were able to stop the onslaught and stay within reach. “The second half by the Cats was a really gutsy effort, considering a win was unlikely,” Dave said. “The boys didn’t give up, but in fact stepped up to make Cootamundra earn their win,” he said. After a great start to the season, the Cats’ 2011 campaign collapsed during a hard couple of months in June and July. “We seemed to lose a bit of the old Cooma passion for playing football for fun, but that passion Cooma Cats showed great determination against a strong Cootamundra Blues team last Saturday at Snowy Oval. has returned in recent weeks and it has been great to see the side regain its enthusiasm for the game after a disappointing mid season,” Dave said. “And that’s a great sign for the last couple of Best for the Cats were: Mick Johnson, Mick Gratwick, and “Brian has a background in Gaelic footy and has shown real games this year and then into next season.

Holden Scramble at Cooma golf course By Garry Atkinson This week’s golf has been marked by some great scores on Wednesday, the District final of the sureshot 4BBB stableford with over 76 players and a great round by Prawit Prakotasung and Norm Marshall in Saturday’s monthly medal. Prawit Prakotasung completed one of the best handicap rounds this year with a fine 63 nett. Most importantly however the four-man ambrose Holden Scramble (one of the most exciting competitions across Australia) is again going to be played at Cooma Golf Club. Members just need to make groups of four and where once a single marker (or two single markers) were needed for each group this restriction has now been lifted to any size handicaps in the group of four. The draw is online at the 1Golf site with the group able to choose the choice of tee. Don’t miss this one as there is already interest from other clubs. Now for the results in detail… On Saturday August 6, the monthly medal was played in difficult conditions but that didn’t stop some brialliant scores

Cooma High Country Hyundai under 11s showed the Ladies and Sponsors Day a masterful display of rugby on Saturday morning dispatching the Tuggeranong Vikings 63-nil. Cooma started off slowly in the wet and cold conditions, struggling to hold onto the ball in what was a greasy day for football. However, they soon got into gear and proceeded to blow Vikings off the field with some sensational team and
individual efforts. Big forwards like Matt Swain, Jess Sergo and Dylan Van Gemert trucked the ball up the middle all day with Vikings having no match for big Dylan’s fend. The scrum was also bolstered by the movement of Paddy Evans back into the second row where the scrum excelled all day. The backs again ran rings around Vikings with Pete Tangye fitting right in to his new position at fullback.
Points for the day were 3 to Oscar Litchfield for scoring two tries, one of them a runaway try off a restart and identical to one he scored last week; 2 went to Zac Ingram for his commanding role at fly-half; and 1 to Dylan Van Gemert for his commanding presence up front. Next week the boys are away to Eddies in what should be a tight game.
