Supporting the McGrath Foundation Last Tuesday was a special day for Liza Dyball and her family – Paul, James and India – when she met cricketing great Glenn McGrath at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The Dyballs were accompanied by McGrath Foundation nurse Bronnie Taylor. Their visit was to promote the cause of the McGrath Foundation, established in 2002 by Glenn and his first wife, Jane, when she was initially recovering from breast cancer. The McGrath Foundation has two main objectives: to raise money to place breast care nurses in communities across Australia as well as to increase breast awareness in young women. Liza, who has just finished her chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer, was able to speak with Mr McGrath, a number of politicians intending the Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, sport and health ministers and others, about her experience. From her first-hand experience, Liza was able to demonstrate

the value of the McGrath nurses, especially in rural areas. Mrs Taylor was also able to speak with politicians to emphasise the need for ongoing funding for the foundation, to ensure more women with breast cancer has access to a breast care nurse to support them through their treatment and recovery. Liza said the experience had been very rewarding. Glenn McGrath, she said was “a beautiful man and understood exactly what we have been going through. He’s lovely”. “It was my job to say ‘we’re one of the families affected. We’re the ones who appreciate the benefit of the McGrath nurses”. “This year at the cricket it was about families who have been affected by breast cancer and we have been one of those families, so I wanted to ensure I represented our family for the following reasons:

“SupportThe McGrath Foundation and our local McGrath Foundation Nurse, Bronnie Taylor, have been there for me, and for my family, throughout this journey. Having this support, knowledge and care on hand honestly has made the most amazing difference. I felt that I wasn’t alone in my fight against breast cancer. Having someone there who is intimately acquainted with every aspect of breast cancer and its treatment gave us access to the information we needed and we made decisions that suited our situation. “Future every community in Australia and every woman fighting breast cancer needs, and should have, access to a McGrath Foundation Nurse. This service is invaluable and should be an ongoing
and expanded part of our health system. With one in seven women in Australia diagnosed with breast cancer annually it is essential that more nurses are provided for these women and their families. “Regional - breast cancer is tough no matter how you look at it but for women in remote and regional areas it can be even tougher. Leaving your family to travel large distances for treatment and appointments creates added stress when you least need it. Women in these areas have a particular need for access to McGrath Foundation Nurses and ensuring Australia - wide access should be a priority. “I was also there to promote the awareness in younger women to become breast aware…this is a crucial message to get out there”.

Kate, Tanya and Paula at Kettle & Seed, in Vale Street, Cooma. Snowy Mountains Coffee has now opened a shopfront in Cooma, at 47 Vale Street, called Kettle & Seed. They opened their doors bright and early on Monday January 2, in the freshly painted premises. At the moment they are serving cakes, etc, to compliment their coffee and other beverages but later they plan on making sandwiches as well as having a short order breakfast menu. Their coffee beans are sourced from all over the world and they are currently using eight coffees from different origins. They will serve a blended coffee as well as a single origin with the coffee being rotated on a regular basis to allow people to become more aware of the different coffee flavours available. “We will be using as much local produce as possible in store, as it is my philosophy”, owner Paula Smith said. “Our tables were built from reclaimed timber from a Chalet in Thredbo and
the walls will feature art work from the Raglan Gallery, which will rotate on a monthly basis.” Kettle & Seed will still supply wholesale coffee and you can pick it up from the shop or deliveries will be made once per week. They also offer onsite training for your baristas. In line with the use of environmentally friendly products, Kettle & Seed offer the BYO Coffee Cup, available in two sizes. An 8oz cup is $13 and a 12oz cup is $19 and they come in a range of colours. The initial purchase includes a free coffee! When you bring your BYO cup with you to buy coffee you will receive a discount; every time. Call in and say hello to Paula, Kate and Tanya or call them on 6452 5882.

Fire brigade warning: beware of kitchen fires With the school holidays well and truly under way, many parents are finding their kids either home alone or in the kitchen more than usual. One very common and easily avoidable type of fire is a kitchen fire. The results can be horrific if your child doesn’t know what to do if a kitchen fire occurs. All kitchens should have a fire blanket, they don’t go out of date and you don’t have to try and read the instructions on how to use them. They should be located in a central position and easy to access. This is the easiest, quickest and least dangerous way to extinguish any type of kitchen fire. One of the most common types of kitchen fires are when the person cooking becomes distracted and leaves something cooking on the stove top. By throwing a fire blanket onto the fire it simply smothers the fire, whereas if water were thrown onto a fat fire for example it would cause the fire to spread rapidly and possibly burn the person who threw the water onto it. After throwing the fire blanket onto the fire, close all doors to the affected room, call 000 and move outside and wait, (don’t go too far away) for the fire brigade. This helps them with accountability, and allows them to easily confirm that everybody is safe. Even if you think you have completely extinguished your fire call 000 for the fire brigade to come and examine the site, as sometimes embers you can’t see can still be smoldering. Improper use of power boards is another common cause of fires in residential houses. Regularly check any power boards in your home for dust buildup, leads that may have become partially dislodged (this causes overheating), over loading (piggy backing) or not allowing enough
ventilation (leaving clothes or books on top of it) preventing “normal” dissipation of heat. Microwave ovens are another common cause of kitchen fires but can usually be contained to the oven if a few simple steps are followed. The over heating of wheat bags has a large fire risk, especially if oils have been added to the wheat or the bag is older and the wheat inside has dried out. By spraying a small amount of water onto the bag before heating or adding a cup of water in the microwave when heating, should reduce the risk of a fire occurring. Metal items being used inside the microwave are also potentially dangerous. They can cause arcing, which can lead to a fire. Only use items that are approved for used in a microwave oven. Be careful when using recycled products including paper towel in a microwave oven, as many of these contain minute metal flecks. These can cause sparks and even flames. If a fire does start in your microwave unplug it if you can and leave the door shut, simply wait and the fire will suffocate. Mostly it’s common sense and thinking about what is happening that will prevent a kitchen fire from getting out of hand. • Remind your kids of what to do in case of a fire. • Have an evacuation plan and go through it regularly with them. Don’t assume they will remember it. • Ring 000 FIRST, not your parents. • Know your rural number and use it. It makes it very easy to find your house and valuable time is not wasted trying to find you.

Wow, that sure was a big event. The fourth Snowy Mountains Showjumping Festival was a record-breaker by all accounts. With more than 460 horses on site, the Cooma Showground was filled to capacity, testing the endurance of those camping there and the limits on the available facilities. Luckily, this year, the rain held off so all events could be completed. Anyone present on Saturday afternoon and evening would have been highly entertained by the height of the jumps in the Grand Prix, the skills of the young riders in the Futurity and the competitiveness of the teams in the Man Vs Woman clash. Well done to the organisers, the pole picker-uppers, the judges, course builders and competitors, as well the bin emptiers, yard builders, etc, etc. Something that big doesn’t happen without a lot of people doing a lot of hard yakka. Cooma’s next big event is Australia Day. The organisers have a packed program planned to entertain all, so it’s looking like a good day out. The theme this year is the Year of the Australian Farmer and exhibits will reflect that. There will also be a focus on music throughout the morning. Should be fun See you there! Extreme sports – why do they do it? The Aussie girl whose bungee cord broke as she plummeted into the Zambezi River is probably asking herself the same question. She survived the experience, but The Postman is guessing she might stick to stamp collecting in future.

Best news for Cooma Editor, The report on the proposed establishment of a new Education Centre is really the best New Year news for Cooma. For a number of years Cooma Unlimited (mainly though the efforts of former Vice President, Bruce Hovey) has pursued the concept of making Cooma a tertiary education town, and now at last this appears to be well on the way. The use of what used to be the old Army Drill Hall now vacated by
the Snowy Enterprise Centre is ideal, and as well it is close to the TAFE buildings. The Mayor, Dean Lynch, and Snowy Hydro deserve hearty congratulations from the whole community on finding a way of bringing tertiary education facilities to Cooma and the Monaro. And it is absolutely splendid that Snowy Hydro are going to back it financially. Fantastic! Dugald Mitchell OAM Chairman Cooma Unlimited.

Riposte Lisa Ashurst I never thought I’d do it but I have finally joined Facebook. It wasn’t out of any particular yen to social network (I have email and a phone which suit me just fine), it was because I wanted a Facebook Business Page for my one-woman-band editorial business but if I wanted this page I had to create a personal one first so...now on Facebook. It has its advantages though. Like, I have caught up with a lot of rellies I haven’t seen or spoken to in years which is actually really nice and I have even found a few long lost mates so I can see why this particular social network site is so popular around the globe. But I guess it can have its downsides too, like people wanting me to play Facebook games. I don’t, okay, so please don’t ask me to join in because I’ll have to say Nooooooooo!!! But hey, I’m happy to chat and send/receive comments etc, etc. I don’t have much personal info on there either because I don’t see why the world at large needs to or, let’s face it, even wants to know about every single minute of my life so, other than the mandatory stuff required to set up the page, the general ins and outs are mostly out. But I can get how people can become addicted to it. I
personally don’t feel any growing cravings to be on my page 24/7 but have a better understanding now (well, almost) of those who do because it is pretty cool to be able to interact with family and friends more or less all at the same time and like I said, in my case some of us have been off each other’s radar for years! Of course, I can’t take all the credit for advancing to this latest technological level as I set it up with assistance from Daughter who I’m convinced has “Social Network Wiz” as her middle name. It’s quite possible that Twins I and II do too. Even my sister can get around a Facebook page and she doesn’t know how to send a text message! But mainly it’s a good move for my business and my website now has that little Facebook thingy on each page where visitors can nominate that they like it or something. Navigating around the page has been a bit of a hit-and-miss experience in some ways but I’m managing to hop around it and lately have even found my way to the right places, so proficiency is on the way! Sort of. At least I have the kids to fall back on should I get really stuck. Now, how do I...? I’ll just text Daughter and find out.

Claire’s Gardening Notes for January The Monaro Post With Claire Caldwell of Cooma Gas & Garden Supplies Christmas celebrations and cheer are over for another year and New Year parties are just beginning. Best wishes to all for a healthy and happy 2012. It is a bit hard to believe the amount of rain and rainy days that were seen during December. Let’s hope we continue to get some good falls during January to keep the grass green and the plants happy. With almost everyone’s focus on Christmas holidays and shopping, the garden has probably been neglected, so there will be plenty of work to keep us gardeners busy over the next month. WEEDS. These are the unwanted plants that can quickly take over the garden, especially in the warm wetter conditions we have seen lately. Weeds will occupy any bare patch of soil found in the garden and can out-compete other plants for space, water and nutrients. Most will grow quickly to the seed stage and disperse the seed ready for another onslaught on the garden at a later time. Weeds can also be the starting point for insects and disease which can hop onto your other garden plants to cause problems. Most weeds can easily be removed by hand before their roots get too well established. If you have a large area to control then glyphosate can be sprayed but thus chemical will kill most plants it contacts. For lawns being infested with weeds a selective broad leaf weed spray can be used but it will also kill any clover in the lawn. If unsure what would be best in your situation please enquire in the shop. Another important point is – only use your sprayer with weed poison for poisoning weeds. DO NOT USE FOR INSECTICIDES OR FUNGICIDES.
HARLEQUIN BEETLES. These have been found in quite large numbers in some gardens. Spray on ornamental plants with Confidor. On edible plants other means of control may be necessary. Find their overnight resting places and destroy the bugs before they have dispersed throughout the garden. They will hide behind old tin, under wood, in any concealed protected spot in clusters. Other pests that may be causing problems are earwigs, aphids, thrips and caterpillars. For best control for these bugs please ask in the shop. DISEASES. Roses have been hit hard by both black spot and powdery mildew, as the conditions are just right for these diseases to thrive. All the wet weather has also made it hard to get to spray on a regular basis so a concerted effort will be needed to get on top of these two major rose problems this season. For best control use alternate sprays of Triforine and Rose Shield. TOMATOES. have also been suffering from diseases that thrive in the conditions, some of which could be: Bacterial Canker, Fusarium Wilt, Spotted Wilt, Target Spot and Blight. Tomato fungus diseases can be controlled by using copper sprays or Mancozeb. If unsure bring in a specimen and we can try to identify the problem. Very good drainage is important when growing tomatoes. PRUNING. This is another job that will keep everyone busy, as the amount of growth on some plants is astounding. Keep deadheading flowering plants including roses to ensure another flush of flowers. If you have a wayward wisteria keep pruning back the long whippy growth to keep it under control. This summer pruning encourages flower bud initiation for next season’s flowers.
FEEDING. Most plants will need regular feeding as the rain can help to leach any fertiliser from the soil. Vegetables will need weekly to fortnightly feeds so that they keep growing at a regular rate. Use the appropriate fertiliser for the appropriate crop or a good general-purpose fertiliser. Annuals and Perennials need a regular feed as well to keep flowers coming. Roses are plants that really love to be fed. One of the best fertilisers for roses is LAWNS. Lawns and grass will be Sudden Impact. This is applied three times through the growing growing madly and really needing season to keep roses healthy and happy. a weekly trim. Keep mower blades sharp and don’t be tempted to mow PEST AND DISEASE. With the warm wetter conditions some too short as this will only invite weeds problems can be caused by pests and diseases to many of the to out-compete your lawn grasses. plants in the garden. PEAR AND CHERRY SLUG. These will cause the leaf surface to be stripped off and then the leaf turns brown, crisp and falls off. The pest is the larvae of a sawfly and has two hatchings per season. They will be found on cherries, pears (both ornamental and fruiting), hawthorns, plums and ornamental plums. To control this pest use Yates Success or Dipel, Pyrethum or Pest Oil. Each of these need to be sprayed directly onto the pest to be effective. WOOLLY APHIDS. This aphid is found on apple, pears and crabapples and covers itself in a white fluffy covering that resembles cotton wool. They will be mainly found on stems and the trunks of the target plants and will suck sap causing gall type lumps where they feed. If not controlled they weaken the plant. Control by using Confidor. SNAILS AND SLUGS. These pests love the conditions at the moment and will make short work of newly planted seedlings and some vegetables. Use snail bait by sprinkling pellets among the plants. Don’t leave in heaps. If you have cats and dogs as pets use the more friendly variety MULTIGUARD as it is an ironbased product, less dangerous if eaten by your pets. Snail and slug traps can also be employed throughout the garden and the trapped offenders dunked in a bucket of hot soapy water the next morning.
We’re local, supporting locals. Keeping the local dollar here!
ORDERS. If you missed out on your chosen fruit trees last season, an ornamental tree or that extra special rose, then we are taking orders for these plants from now until about the middle of May. So make your list and come in and see us. HARVESTING. Are you lucky enough to be harvesting any edibles yet? Raspberries should just about be finished their spring early summer fruiting. Cherries will be just about finished. Blueberries are beginning to ripen and will do continually over the next few weeks. Strawberries will have some fruit still appearing – nip off any runners that shoot out. Apples will be growing nicely. Veggies, like carrots, beetroot, silverbeet, spinach and lettuce should be ready to harvest. Here’s to a successful gardening year in 2012.

The vision for the Special Olympics Dance Performance Group is to produce passionate performers who through their commitment and enthusiasm reach a level of excellence in their dance. Through their success, these young dancers strenghthen their self-esteem, add to their identity, build confi¬dence in their ability to achieve, enjoy teamwork and enhance the quality of their lives. Through their dedication they have become outstanding communicators with their audiences, giving a message of achievement, warmth , hope and ability. The performers acknowledge the outstanding voluntary commitment by their choreographer Cathy Williams. Cathy is a primary school teacher who has studied dance (jazz, ballet, tap and hip hop) for more than 20 years. The long term goal is to create a dance group in all 54 Special Olympics Regions throughout Australia. Young people with an Intellectual Disability, who love sport and dance can then benefit through performing at annual concerts and within their local community. Once they have achieved this goal, we would love to have Dance Performance Groups in all tthey 175 countries that participate in Special Olympics throughout the world. They believe in dance and performance as an important component of life that should be available to all people with an intellectual disability. By way of background, Special Olympics is an international organisation which was established in the mid 1950s by the Kennedy Family in the USA. It is dedicated to improving the health and self esteem of people with an intellectual disability through the provision of sports skills training and competition. There are almost 1500 Special Olympics Athletes in NSW, a number which is still growing rapidly. In the global context, there are almost 2 million Special Olympic athletes in 175 countries. The dancers are also committed sports people, participating in many of the sports available through Special Olympics Australia. They love supporting Australian sports teams (loudly). The Special Olympics Dance Performance Group is honoured and delighted to be Australia Day Ambassadors. They are proud of their achievements and very proud to be Australian. They love performing on Australia Day.

»»BUSINESS OF THE WEEK«« Countrywide Wool pty Ltd - Ph: 6452 2262 Do you want top returns for your wool, 6-week free interest shearing allowance and to receive a flat rate on your wool selling? Then deal with the people who know the industry – Countrywide Wool Pty Ltd! David Abraham and his wife Maree along with manager, Michael Connellan, offer weighing and paying on the spot, as well as full auction service with Landmark as their wool broker.

Bushfire season sparks electrical safety warning With New Year temperatures on the rise across South Eastern Australia this week, Essential Energy is urging the community to prepare properties for the bushfire season. Essential Energy’s regional general manager, South Eastern, Phillip Green, said simple safety precautions could help minimise the risk to lives and property during bushfires. “Simple steps like clearing vegetation from around the home, removing leaves and other debris from gutters and not planting trees too close to powerlines, can help to protect your property from fire,” Mr Green said. “Essential Energy regularly inspects powerlines to maintain fire safety clearances, however, we appreciate customer feedback if there are trees growing dangerously close to lines.” He said preparation was the key to preventing
electrical accidents during a bushfire, whether you choose to leave an at-risk area, or stay and defend your property. “If you are considering staying and defending your property, you should have a fuel-operated water pump and stand-alone source of water available – it could be a lifesaver if the fire cuts power supplies,” he said. “Property owners who evacuate in the path of a bushfire should do so early to ensure they minimise the risk of encountering damaged power lines across roads. “Essential Energy recommends that you turn off the main switches in your meter boxes if you have time, as this can help reduce the chance of damage to electrical equipment and the risk of electrical wires short-circuiting or sparking.” When returning to the property, check whether any nearby overhead powerlines appear damaged, are sagging or have fallen to the ground. If they are, keep at least eight metres clear – don’t touch or move them under any circumstances – and contact Essential Energy immediately on 13 20 80. “It’s also vital to keep well away from anything that damaged powerlines may be in contact with, such as tree branches, water pipes and fences, as these may have become energised,” Mr Green said. For further information concerning electrical safety contact 13 23 56, drop into your nearest Essential Service Centre or visit www. essentialenergy.com.au.
Happy New Year and welcome to 2012 − the Australian Year of the Farmer. This year we will celebrate all the wonderful men and women who help make our country great. The farmers, fishers and forresters who grow and harvest the amazing Australian products we enjoy eating, wearing and using every day. We’ll also celebrate the men and women who help package, transport and sell farmed produce. And the men and women working in agricultural research and innovation who help our farmers rank amongst the most efficient and environmentally conscious in the world. Yes, the Australian Year of the Farmer is a celebration for all! And we want you to be involved. Our farmers do more than just help feed, clothe and shelter us – they help keep our country and economy strong. Farming and all the industries supporting it generate more than $405 billion each year, that’s 27% of our GDP! It takes a special person to be a farmer. They have to be part businessman, part biologist, part vet, part meteorologist, part builder, part mechanic, all round handy-person and so much more. Our farmers contribute in many
ways to our every day lives and much of the Year is about saying thanks, and giving them a pat on the back. So what’s the best way you can acknowledge our farmers ? Buy Australian farmed products and help keep our famers, and all those Australians who rely on them, in business. You can get involved in the celebrations too. We’ll be in your newspapers, on your radios and televisions, at events, in schools and everywhere in between, highlighting the amazing work of our farmers and the many people involved in making agribusiness big business in Australia. We hope you’ll think of ways to celebrate the Australian Year of the Farmer in your family, school and local community. Please have a think about where we would be without our farmers… Chances are, we would be without fresh food, without a roof over our head and without the beautiful natural fibers we all love to wear. So next time you see a farmer, or someone who works with them, tell ‘em “thank you.” Let’s celebrate… Australian Year of the Farmer – 2012.

New track from Thredbo to Bullocks for strolling and rolling The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) invites bushwalkers and mountainbike riders to come and enjoy a new shared trail between Thredbo Village and Bullocks Flat in Kosciuszko National Park. NPWS Snowy River Area Manager Pam O’Brien said the Thredbo Valley Track will be family friendly, and phase one of the project is now ready to be enjoyed. “This shared trail is designed to increase summer visitation to the Snowy Mountains and provide another option on bad weather days when the Main Range is not accessible. “The track now open includes the 2.5 kilometre section from Thredbo Diggings to the Ski Tube terminal at Bullocks Hut and a 1.5 kilometre section starting at Thredbo Village and taking in the existing Thredbo Bridal Loop track. “By 2015, the Thredbo Valley Track will offer 17 kilometres of riding or walking adventure alongside the Thredbo River, with loops and side trails for all abilities and levels of mobility. “At Ngarigo, a section of track will be constructed that is suitable for wheelchairs and people with low mobility. “There will be six suspension bridges over the river, three of which should be open in autumn 2012 along with another two kilometres of track.
“This track will offer a great way to experience the the average grades are eight to 10 per cent, with short Muzzlewood Wetlands, Ngarigo Picnic and Camping sections of up to 15 per cent when necessary,” Ms O’Brien Area, Thredbo Diggings Picnic and Camping Area, the Ski said.

Pictured, the new Thredbo to Bullock’s Flat shared trail. “People will be able to join the trail at different spots along the Alpine Way including the Thredbo Ranger Station and Thredbo Diggings. “The track will meander through a wide variety of vegetation types including Mountain Ash forest, Snow Gum woodlands, Riverine woodlands, montane bog, wet heath and sub alpine grasslands. “The track surface is a combination of compacted bare earth and gravel from adits created when the Snowy Scheme was built, and there are small bridges and raised platforms over creeks and wet areas. “We have followed the International s &ROM PARCELS TO PALLETS s 3TORAGE s $ISTRIBUTION Mountain Bicycling Association recommendations so on hill climbs, s &ULL TRUCK LOADS s !LSO )NTERSTATE (AULAGE

Monaro District Cricket Berridale vs Colts Berridale won the toss and elected to bat in the top of the table clash on yet another slow Snowy oval. The first five overs are extremely important in T20 cricket and Berridale failed again in a bid to get off to a flyer and were only 2-12 after the end of the fifth over. Jacob Moon (1-5) and Mitch Clarke (1-7) doing an outstanding job with the new ball with batsman looking to score. The Berridale innings never really got going and the boundaries were few and far between. Simon Freebody (30) and Hayes (12) were the only batsman to trouble the Alpine bowlers. N Boate (2-17) and Damo Roach (112) the pick of the Alpine bowlers. Berridale after 20 overs were 8/74. The Alpine got off to a good but unfortunate start with two catches and a ball hitting the stumps not dislodging the bail all off the bowling of Jake Riley (1/16). The Colts finished the fifth over at 1/24 with Mark Askell finally out caught for 19. Berridale continued to press hard in search of wickets but leaked a few runs through some poor fielding and the odd bad ball. At the 10th over the Colts were 4/47 after a good tight spell from Andrew O’Keeffe (2/11) and if a couple more wickets were to fall Berridale would have had a sniff but to no avail as sensible batting by Zach Smith (30*) and Damo Roach (14*) saw the Alpine pass Berridale’s score in only the 15th over. 3 points- Damo Roach; 2 points- Z Smith; 1 point- S Freebody Jindabyne vs Cooma Cats The first round of cricket for the new year saw the Cooma Cats make the
trip to Jindabyne for the third T20 of the season. Jindabyne won the toss and elected to bat. Hayes and Dunn, who was playing his first game of the season in a welcome return, got Jindy off to a flying start until Hayes was bowled by Elliot in the third over. Akkersdyke was run out three balls later leaving Jindy at 2/33. The introduction of Khouri and Tucker to the attack saw the run rate slow considerably and a steady fall of wickets slowed the batting further. Dunn (36) continued to bat sensibly and with Jeff “Yoplait” Williamson (21) lending valuable support Jindabyne ended the innings being all out on the final ball for 97. Khouri 2/13 and Tucker 2/15 were the pick of the Cats bowlers The run chase was never going to be simple on a slow outfield and the Cats started slowly in the face of tight bowling from Oliver and Akkersdyk. A Asanovski went in the fourth over to an excellent delivery from Akkersdyk with the score on 10. Chris Khouri came to the crease and after being dropped early, from a difficult chance off Oliver, combined with D Asanovski to add a valuable partnership of 36 with intelligent batting. The partnership ended in the 10th over when Azzo fell to Williamson for 16. With the run rate on target and eight wickets in hand the cats were in with a good chance, but when Khouri fell to Waller for a solid 28 wickets started to fall regularly. Needing 13 runs from the last two overs with three wickets in hand Dunn (3/11) and Waller (3/15) bowled tightly enough to keep the Cats to a score of 8/96 off the full 20 overs, Jindabyne escaping with a one run victory.

It was great week for Monaro Cricket and it all started on Tuesday January 3 when Berridale In2cricket juniors made their way to the SCG for day one of the second Test. Twenty-one boys and girls had a great day at the SCG watching an amazing days play and turning out to see the start of a very historic batting display by Australian captain Michael Clarke. They were lucky enough to play a game of diamond cricket and had a mega match with a huge blow up cricket bat and ball in the lunch break.
GET FIT!!
Several of the bigger boys hit huge sixes into the ladies stand drawing large applause from the members. Abigail Field was selected out of 200 kids to be interviewed on the ground and was beamed on the big screen in front of 30 odd thousand people. Abigail spoke very well and did Berridale proud! A day the kids, mums, dads and two very proud coaches will never forget! The Cooma in2cricket centre had day four at the SCG and 16 lucky boys and girls got to watch Australia win the test match.

Big week of golf in Cooma
Zac in State’s top 15
Cooma Golf report by Garry Atkinson
Zac Saddler returned from the NSW State Age Swimming Championships with excellent personal best times in both his swims. In the 12 years 100m freestyle he was seeded 32 in a field of 50 qualifiers. His time of 1.04.97 saw him move to 15th in the state and closes him in on Geoff Owen’s Cooma record of 1.04.05 swum in 1983. Seeded 21st in the 50m, his time of 29.13 saw him also move to the top 18 out of 95 qualifiers and become the fastest 12 year old Cooma swimmer over that distance. Pictured, Zac Saddler.
With round one of the Summer Cup held last Saturday and the first round of the super stableford on Sunday the weekend of golf was jam packed with fine scores and hopeful golfers all out to post good scores for both major events on the golfing calendar. On Saturday a single medley stableford was held in beautiful summer conditions. Brian Turner took out the A grade prize with a solid 38 stableford points. Runner up was Ian Pom Wheeldon with 36 on a countback. In B grade Bryan Alexander had a marvellous 42 points to post the round of the day. Runner up was Ken Ganya with 37 points. In C grade Lindsay Blewitt had 37 points to take the winners prize from Tony Slater on 33. In D grade Peter Dawson scored a steady 37 points to edge out George Froeschl on 36 points. Ball winners went down to 32 points. Nearest the pin on the ninth was Gino Cerro and on the 17th Phil Patricks. Longest drives were all on the 10th hole with A grade taken out by Rob Brown, B grade by Bryan Alexander, C grade Tony Slater and D grade Peter Dawson. Sunday was windy and cooler but a good field competed in round one of the Super Stableford. Trevor Bailey had a great round with 40 points to win A grade. Certainly the new driver (thanks to Tony Munday) and Trevor’s unique putting stroke worked a treat. B grade was won by up and coming junior Sam Patricks with the round of the day - 42 points. Dom Rossi (tiler of note) won C grade with 34 points. Ball winners went down to 33 points.
Nearest the pin on the ninth was Terry Johnston and on the 17th Phil Amey. There was also a ball prize for the “worst drive ever”. This unusual prize was easily won by Nick Massari on the 18th. Nick has had an almighty swing hitting his drive so far no one in the group saw it. Nick then began asking if anyone happened to see where the ball went? The ball then came down some 60 cms in front of his tee. The group all claim the ball went at least 300m – 150m into the air and 150m back down. Nick unfortunately didn’t make it past the ladies tee so the shot became quite expensive at the bar. Everyone now wants to be in Nick’s group next week with the hope of another 300m drive. On Wednesday January 4, a single stableford was conducted with Garry Atkinson winning A grade on 41 points. Richard Hanna came in second with 39 points. In B grade Bailey Burke won on a countback from Prawit Prakotasung both with 36 points. In-form Tony Slater won C grade with 36 points, again on a countback from Marcelle Burton. Ball winners went down to 33 points and nearest the pin on the ninth went to Prawitt Prakotasung and on the 17th to Garry Atkinson. Next Saturday sees round two of the summer cup. On Sunday and Wednesday there are single medley stablefords on offer for members and visitors. Please note golfers that pennant draws are now out with members asked to nominate for either the A reserve pennant team or the B grade handicap team. Don’t forget the Shey Wenz golf café. See you on the greens.

Cooma Rifle Club Last Saturday morning shooting was held from 300 yards for the monthly heat of the NRA Medal competition. Six shooters competed but a late start caught us short of time to finish so four shooters were happy with a single stage only. The wind was fairly strong from the north but later in the morning it became very variable about midday changed to a westerly. All this resulted in many lost points. The off-rifle scores were: 1. Damien Doyle 50.5 and 45.2,
total 95.7/100;2. Don Robb 45.2 and 46.1, total 91.3;3. N o e l Barrett 44.2/50; 4. Sam Gubicak 39.1;5. Graeme Crundwell, 36.1;6. Brian Bradley 34. Damien’s first stage possible was an excellent shot. The best centre-ball, however, was by Graeme Crundwell who put one exactly in the centre of the target. With handicaps Damien won from Don. Next Saturday shooting will be from 400 yards.
Holiday junior golf competition This Thursday January 12 sees a special event for junior golfers in Cooma. Beginning at around 10am a junior competition will be run for those juniors who have had been attending the junior clinics last term and those juniors who have played golf before. Juniors will be able to play in a competition, have individual coaching while playing golf and practice their putting and short game. The particular focus on the day is course management, short game skills and of course, playing golf.
A small fee of $5 for the day will cover all necessary green fees, lunch, ball, club use and lesson. Yes, this is great value indeed. Matt Rainsford professional golfer at Capitol Golf Club in the ACT will be on hand once again to give individual and course management lessons to the juniors at no charge. Ring Garry Atkinson on 0410 603 890 for further details.
