Taking the country to the city
Rosehill racecourse in Sydney was the location for the annual ‘Country Week’ event that was held last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Several businesses from Cooma along with Mayor Dean Lynch and president of the Cooma Chamber of Commerce, David Shelley, manned the stall and advised people about not only the facilities available in Cooma but also the lifestyle you can have if considering a ‘tree change’. Dean Lynch along with another mayor was busy handing out bacon and egg rolls at Parramatta train station to commuters on Friday morning. They handed out 1000 rolls and talked to many more people who were genuinely interested in a rural lifestyle. Mr Lynch said he was surprised at the amount of people that were interested in leaving the city. “I spoke to one guy who is an IT specialist and when I told him that the optic fibre is already in the ground in Cooma he was surprised and looking for somewhere to move to. I think an event like this can only benefit the local community, with all the positive feedback and interest in our area it will definitely be beneficial to the region.” David Shelley commented “It was great to have members of the Chamber of Commerce who have actually made that tree change working on the stall. They could then relay in actual terms their experiences. I think it was a really worthwhile and David Shelley, Dean Lynch and Nelson Wallace hard at work at Cooma’s Country Week in Sydney last Saturday. promising exercise with a lot of good conversations from people who were genuine about escaping the Country week is all about regional towns promoting themselves and telling interested people city and improving their quality of life not only for themselves but their families. I think we have about their towns and what they have to offer. This year the Cooma stall has had lots of people an obligation to people about how they can make that change happen.” interested in moving to the country.
NSW health restructure concerns local residents A discussion paper outlining a proposed restructure of the NSW Hospital System has identified 17 local health networks to replace the present eight. The draft has arisen out of the recent COAG negotiations. NSW is the first state to outline detailed proposals for Local Health Networks in implementation of the National Health reform. The State Government claims the reforms will deliver an extra $1.2 billion in funding to the NSW Health System over four years, and lead to 488 beds being opened in NSW in 2010/11. Locally, the proposed new area will cover from Goulburn to the Victorian border, with a possibility of including the ACT at
a later date. The proposed responsibilities and governance arrangements for the new Local Health Networks, would include: • The geographical boundaries in which they would operate; • Their role, and the State’s role in health service delivery; • The type of services to be provided by Local Health Networks; • Responsibilities for budget and workforce management; and • The increased role of doctors and clinicians in the management of hospitals. The networks would be administered by a Chief Executive
and a Governing Council that includes local clinicians, and people with health and health care management expertise, as well as community representatives. However the proposal has concerned some local people who believe smaller, more local boards are a better way to manage health. Local doctors are also concerned about the size of the network covering this region and have urged residents to make submissions to the proposed changes (see letter to editor page 9). Submissions will be received until September 1 2010. To make a submission, or for more information, go to www.health.nsw.gov.au

Man charged after police pursuit A man was arrested and charged after leading police on a lengthy pursuit in Cooma last Thursday night. About 5.15pm, police received a report about a red Suzuki hatchback being driven erratically southbound on the Monaro Highway about 45km north of Cooma. The vehicle was spotted by officers attached to Monaro Highway Patrol at Billilingra, where its speed was checked at 165km/h in a sign-posted 100km/h zone. Police signalled for the driver to stop; however, he failed to do so and a pursuit was initiated. That pursuit was terminated 8km north of the township of Cooma for safety reasons. A short time later, the Suzuki crashed into two cars in Sharp Street, Cooma. No one was injured in the incident.
The driver fled the scene on foot but was arrested by police nearby. A search of his car allegedly uncovered a plastic bag containing ‘Ice’ (Methylamphetamine). The 33-year-old man, from Narrabundah in the ACT, was taken to Cooma Police Station and then to the local hospital for mandatory blood and urine tests. He was then returned to the police station and charged
with drive vehicle recklessly/ furiously or speed/manner dangerous; police pursuit - not stop - drive dangerously (Skye’s Law); possess prohibited drug; and larceny. He was refused bail to appear in Queanbeyan Local Court last Friday. Above: the scene on Sharp Street bridge where two cars were damaged by the fleeing driver.

O C Last week’s announcement by Liberal candidate for services, including some aged care and acute A HOT OMA
Eden-Monaro, David Gazard, of $1.5 million funding for the much-needed upgrade of Cooma Hospital’s Emergency Service has been well received by Cooma-Monaro Shire Council. Deputy mayor Tony Kaltoum and councillors Stephanie McDonald, Bronnie Taylor and Martin Hughes were in attendance at Cooma Hospital to hear the announcement. They were pleased with the announcement which will assist emeregency services at the hospital. The upgrade will include: • a paediatric area; • a triage area including waiting room facility; • dedicated mental health room; • consultation rooms; • a trauma bay; • sterile stock area; and • staff facilities. “Cooma Hospital’s existing emergency department provides a critical service to the local community but it has clearly outgrown its current footprint. The people of Cooma and the surrounding region deserve the best in emergency care and this upgraded facility will meet their future needs,” he said. “Cooma’s emergency service is staffed by a dedicated team who do a wonderful job caring for patients. The proposed upgrade will greatly improve their working conditions as well as enhancing the service they provide to Cooma and the Monaro region” Mr Gazard said. “At the moment the existing emergency department comprises one large room and a small waiting area so patients have little privacy and the facility is simply not suitable for more complex cases such as those involving mental health.” “An upgraded emergency service at Cooma Hospital is long overdue and is yet another example of Labor’s failure to deliver for the Monaro region. Cooma and the surrounding region deserve more than Labor’s empty words and I am committed to delivering this long awaited and much needed upgrade,” Mr Gazard concluded. Mr Gazard also announced a $6m multi purpose service for Jiindabyne, which he said would complement the existing services at Cooma. Mr Gazard said the MPS at Delegate and Bombala work very well and he had based his proposal on those, a proven model, which had provided benefits for the local community. Mr Gazard said rather than a GP Superclinic, which has been promised by the Labor Party and which he said was just bricks and mortar, the MPS would offer extra

accommodation. He said it would take some of the pressure off Cooma Hospital and also provide more nursing and GP positions. Mr Gazard said he did not expect the MPS to adversely affect the servics available at Cooma Hospital. The Jindabyne Health Service will include: • An emergency department; • Acute inpatient beds; • Aged care beds; • Diagnostic imaging services; • Community health services; and • Colocation of existing GP services. “The Jindabyne Health Service will offer more service choices such as older people being offered home based or residential care and a greater focus on health education and illness prevention programs. The facility will also grow to meet the community’s needs as it grows over time – it will be a real partnership with the community,” he said. “I have listened to the people of Jindabyne and congratulate the Mayor, Councillors, health professionals and the wider community for fighting Labor’s failure to deliver. “Jindabyne is a young, vibrant and growing community with thousands of visitors to the snowfields each year – its need for a dedicated facility and enhanced services is obvious! There is also an unmet need for aged care facilities so that older members of the community can remain close to their families.”

NBN ‘travelling roadshow’ visits Cooma Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy Senator Stephen Conroy joined the Member for Eden-Monaro Mike Kelly in Cooma last Thursday to discuss how the National Broadband Network (NBN) would be introduced to the electorate. The Labor Government has released network maps showing where under the NBN, Australians will get access to high speed broadband. The maps include Cooma, Bombala and Jindabyne, but Dalgety, Adaminaby, Nimmitabel and Michelago would still require satellite coverage. Sentator Conroy said “This infrastructure will literally transform the way people live and work in Cooma. “The NBN will ensure that every child in Queanbeyan and Jerrabomberra will have access to world-class education resources. It will support enhanced health care delivery and will give local businesses the opportunity to expand and reach new markets anywhere in the world.” Senator Conroy and Dr Kelly stopped off at Cooma North Public School to chat with staff and students about the National Broadband Network. They then addressed Cooma-Monaro Shire,
Bombala and Snowy River Shires and the Cooma Chamber of Commerce at council. Senator Conroy was quizzed about the coverage along the Monaro Highway between Cooma and Canberra. It was pointed out to him that Adaminaby and Dalgety, two of the region’s worst mobile phone black spots will still not have broadband coverage under the scheme. Senator Conroy said the rollout would take about eight years and would largely use existing Telstra infrastructure. He said the project would cost an estimated $46 billion and would require the purchase of two new satellites to enable the system to carry the expected capacity. He said the funds for the rollout are set out in Labor’s financial estimates. The NBN will replace the existing copper wire phone system – Senator Conroy said there will be no choice under the NBN because the copper network will be turned off. He said Labor was treating broadband as another utility, such as power or water. He said Labor had a “travelling roadshow” to sell the broadband concept to the community.

Passengers saved after bus bursts into flames A bus driver has been taken to hospital while a group of high school students and their teachers have narrowly escaped a fire uninjured after the vehicle burst into flames at Jindabyne on Saturday evening. About 5.20pm the Mercedes coach was travelling north on Kosciusko Road at Jindabyne when the bus driver detected the vehicle losing power and noticed smoke coming from underneath the bus. The driver, a 59-yearold man from Guildford, pulled over to the side of the road and removed all passengers off the bus as it burst into flames. Emergency services attended the scene however the bus containing a large amount of luggage was totally destroyed by the fire. The driver was treated at the scene by paramedics for chest pain and smoke inhalation before being taken to Cooma Hospital where he remains in a stable condition. A 16-year-old girl was also taken to Cooma Hospital after she suffered an asthma attack. Police have been told the bus was carrying

Boco Rock windfarm approved Member for Eden-Monaro, Mike Kelly has welcomed the news that approval has been granted for the second largest wind farm in NSW - a $700 million 270 megawatt facility to be located near Nimmitabel on the Monaro. Dr Kelly said the facility has the potential to power up to 120,000 homes each year when fully operational and support around 200 construction jobs and 15 ongoing positions. “This project is the culmination of several years of planning and I am proud too see the approval of this wind farm as a good step forward in reducing our countries reliance on coal fired power.“ “I have been working closely with Wind Prospect and my state colleagues, Steve Whan and Minister Kelly to ensure that this project proceeds helping establish Eden-Monaro as a hub for renewable energy.” “The wind farm will be constructed by Boco Rock Wind Farm Pty Ltd using one of two possible configurations of either 122 turbines or 104 turbines on the site” “The company hopes to be producing electricity in 2012 and be fully operational by 2013.” “This wind farm will assist NSW in its leadership role supplying renewable energy to the power grid and will lead to greenhouse gas reductions equivalent to taking more than 160,000 cars off the road each year. “ “The facility will be located in a sparsely populated area in the high altitude plateau of the Monaro Plains, around 50 kilometres east
of Kosciuszko National Park.” “Because of its isolated location, the closest residence not associated with the wind farm would be at least 1.5km from the nearest turbine,” Dr Kelly said. The wind farm was assessed under Part 3A of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act – the NSW Government’s major projects assessment system. A total of 73 conditions have been imposed on the project requiring Boco Rock to: • Permanently protect 750 hectares of natural temperate grasslands, to offset the disturbance to vegetation as a result of the wind farm’s construction and operation; • Provide screen planting at some residences to block views of the turbines, even though a Departmental assessment found the visual impacts of the turbines would generally be low; • Give annual contributions of $2,500 per turbine – to up to $305,000 per year depending on the layout – to the local community to fund projects such as infrastructure upgrades and tourist development; and • Implement strict monitoring measures to ensure projected low levels of noise are maintained. The project will also require Federal Government approval due to its potential flora and fauna impacts, and that process should be completed soon.

Snowy Careers Expo Due to the overwhelming success of last years Careers Expo, the Rotary Club of Cooma and the Snowy Partnership Broker is offering this exciting concept again in 2010 to students of our local high schools. The Careers Day is planned for students and parents to explore options for both further education and employment opportunities. The Snowy Careers Expo will take place on Tuesday August 17, at the Cooma Multi Function centre from 10am- 2pm. Aimed at Year 9, 10, 11 and 12 students from all the local high schools, it will enable them the opportunity to explore specific, individual options. The expo will provide opportunities for student to observe, or engage in, simple activities undertaken in various types of work. Both static and interactive displays will be available to students. A strong emphasis will be placed on “hands on” involvement, typical of the work undertaken in the workplace, giving the students opportunities to try hands on activities. Although the Expo is aimed at school students, members of the general public would be warmly welcomed if they would like to attend.

Residents turn out to quiz candidates
About 100 people attended the ABC’s Q & A session at Cooma Bowling Club last Sunday. Four of the candidates for the August 21 election, independent Ray Buckley, Greens Catherine Moore, Labor’s Mike Kelly and Liberals’ David Gazard were each given three minutes in which to state their case. Then it was over to the audience to ask questions on specific topics. Questions raised ranged from a very fast train, Australia’s involvement in Afghanistan, climate change, the Snowy River and property rights. One member of the audience asked the candidates not to sledge each other in answering her questions as to why she should vote for them. She said she was sick of the badmouthing, which has been going on and was only interested in each candidate’s policy. In regard to the very fast train concept from Sydney to Melbourne, Mike Kelly said this was part of Labor’s policies and that the first part would be from Sydney to Newcastle.

the Mowenbah aqueduct and return water to the Snowy River. Dr Kelly said he had been careful what he said about that matter and had been working ‘behind the scenes” on that issue. David Gazard said one of the problems was that $425million allocated to the river has ‘gone somewhere’. Mr Gazard said he would like to sit down with all parties to discuss the matter before making a commitment. Catherine Moore said a healthy river system was important and she congratulated the SRS for taking legal action. A question about property rights and native vegetation showed the issues raised by hunger-striker Peter Spencer are still of concern. David Gazard said it was a difficult question, but he agreed property owners have the right to use their land without being labelled vandals. He said farmers provide food security for the nation and if they have to lock up their land, they deserved compensation. Mr Gazard’s comments received warm applause from the audience. Mike Kelly said he agreed with the Kyoto Protocol and wanted to move forward to introduce the CPRS. He said he wanted there to be sustainable agriculture. Ray Buckley said he believed landowners were only caretakers for the land while Catherine Moore said there had been wholesale clearing of the land in the past which had not been good, but she said farmers still need to be able to do their job and she would like to find a way to compensate farmers who do lock up their productive land. The session ended before all questions could be asked.

More than 150 members of the Eden Monaro electorate attended the Great Debate between Labor candidate for the seat of Eden Monaro, Mike Kelly and the Liberal candidate David Gazard, (pictured right) at Quality Resort Horizons in Jindabyne on Tuesday, August 3. Ashley Blondell as chairman, closely controlled the debate during which the opponents acted in a restrained manner. Two days prior to the Debate facilitated by the Jindabyne Chamber of Commerce, the candidates were supplied with a list of questions focussing on Jindabyne’s needs and pertained mostly to Health, Tourism, Education and Transport. Following are summarised responses to some of the questions. In answering the first question relating to Health, David Gazard announced $6 million funding for a new Jindabyne Health Multi Purpose Service (MPS) which would included an emergency department, acute inpatient beds, aged care beds, diagnostic imaging services, community health services and colocation of existing general practitioner services. Mike Kelly responded that the cost of an MPS is closer to $11 million, whereas the Super GP Clinic for which $5 million had already been allocated for one in Jindabyne and construction would begin within 16 weeks if Labor is returned to government at the election. Concerning Tourism, the Liberal Party is allocating $4 million to tourism, with Tourism Snowy Mountains to receive a grant of $305,000. Labor would continue to work with Tourism Australia, and focus on a more cohesive strategy for the promotion of the Alps and the South Coast of NSW highlighting eco tourism and renewable energy. Both candidates were supportive of cloud seeding by Snowy Hydro and they were in agreement that a Premier should not hold the tourism portfolio as is the case in New Zealand. With regards to the question on education, David Gazard announced that the education tax rebate would be $500 for a primary student and $1,000 for a secondary student, thus providing support for the parents. With respect to the disadvantages a country student experienced whilst living away from home in order to obtain a tertiary qualification as compared to a student living at home in a city, Mike Kelly agreed to look into a case where particular 18-year-old student had been disadvantaged due to the means testing of the parents. Mike Kelly advised that it would be eight years before the full roll out of Broadband is complete when a range of packages costing up to $60 will be available. When the question arose concerning the “Building Revolution for Schools”, Mike Kelly declared it an overwhelming success and only one of the two percent of the complaints received, came from Jindabyne. David Gazard was in favour of all schools having the ability to direct the funding to what they wanted. The perennial question of transport arose and a service between Canberra and Albury via the Snowy Mountains was suggested.. David Gazard thought that it would be a good case to re-open discussions with Country Link concerning the route. The issue of water releases into the Snowy River below Jindabyne dam was raised. Of the 28 percent of water to be released, flows have only increased by four percent. David Gazard said that agreement made by government and stakeholders was not honoured and needs to be upheld. Whilst Mike Kelly said that the drought had impacted on releases and that he was unhappy with the State Government, He could not answer the question as to how the $425 million had been spent with regard to the water which had not been delivered into the Lower Snowy River. t the conclusion of the debate, Gordon Jenkinson thanked David Gazard, Mike Kelly and Ashley Blondell for chairing the meeting.

Candidates must address fire issue Editor, The Victorian Bushfire Royal Commission has stressed the importance of fuel load reduction just as the Federal Government has cancelled funding for the Highfire Research Project on Snowy Plain the specific purpose of which is to determine where, when and in what form fuel reduction needs to be carried out. I am informed by the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science & Research in Canberra “this research has now been completed and those funds have been fully expended”. How can this be? Whatever fuel load reduction methodology the Highfire research scientists recommend (and there is still a way to go before this can happen) on-going monitoring of fuel reduction outcomes is vital.

power, irrigation and river system health. All of this takes time. There are no short cuts. The fires of 2003 which destroyed 70 percent of the Kosciusko National Park killed millions of normally fire resistant trees. This massive quantity of dead timber has contributed to a fuel load build up now estimated to be seven (7) times the quantity in 2003. Therefore we who live in the electorate of Eden-Monaro are threatened by fire to a degree at least equal to the horror that befell the communities of places like Kingslake and Marysville in Victoria last year.

It was good to see so many voters interested enough to make the effort to attend Sunday’s Q & A in Cooma.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
It was just a shame that so many people tried to quote a couple of volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica BEFORE actually asking their question. This meant others dipped out on their chance to raise an issue, which was a bit
disappointing for some. Property rights are still a hot topics around these parts, too, it seems, judging by the applause for candidates supporting farmers. The Postman would like to know why so many TV
presenters these days (the male ones, that is), seem to think they look okay with a halfgrown beard? Here’s a hint chaps, - you don’t look hip, cool or even groovy – just scruffy! Either grow a proper one or shave, please. So there!

Consideration needed for coeliacs
I’ve had incidents in town at local busy, wellknown businesses – the usual attitude is one of defence, being put out, fed up – not interested in looking for me – so I don’t purchase. I just sit there while friends partake because they plainly don’t want to. Or I ask, I state, they say fine, I drink – within 151hr symptoms kick in – I’ve even gone back, made them look – not take NO for an answer – they still continue to use that product and serve people with coeliac (obviously). What is that?? What does it –what will it take. What? If I start legal proceedings. It’s not right.

Editor, I really would like to see these words in print for all the people who own, manage, work, that are in the food industry – restaurants, takeaways, bakery and cake chops, especially those that sell coffee, hot drinks – even the sweet and lolly shops, ice creameries, motels, the list goes on. I have coeliac disease – it is a serious condition and the symptoms differ greatly for each individual. I always clearly state my condition before I order and always ask gratuitously, like a food Nazi, what the ingredients are. To all those out there – I’m not interested in stealing your secret ingredient, I’m not threatening in any dimension – but when I ask I’m also regarding your interests – I do not seek libel in my motivation, I only seek self preservation – My health. Everyone’s immediate response/reaction is one of defence ‘ ‘it’s just frozen chips ya know’. Well, it’s not just frozen chips – it’s a whole lot of preservatives, flavours, emulsifiers and especailly thickeners which is usually wheat unless otherwise specified as maize, not to mention the deadliest -unnecessary maltodextrins, sugar – highly regained – cooked – but if stated very rarely (our labelling is appalling) with corn maize. If I state I am coeliac, then the owner, proprietor, wait staff, say it’s all good and does not check the labelling as I ask, but still assures me its ok – I eat, I drink the product I get sick, I have rights – I don’t see why the latter should even be an option.
Please comment on health reform
Editor, Last week, the NSW Health Department released a “Discussion paper on implementating the National Health Reform in NSW”. The document outlines the boundaries of Local Health Networks and the role that they will play in the National health reform, should the current government be re-elected. I urge everyone interested in health reform and local health services to read the document, available at www.health.nsw.gov and give feedback. As a local clinician, I am concerned that, yet again, the ACT is not part of any reorganisation in southern NSW. The ACT is our major referral centre for tertiary services and a critical part of our local hospital network. I am also concerned that, given one of the aims of this reform is to return to a system involving more local input into health services, the LHN remains large, virtually identical in make up to the old Southern Area Health Service. Dr Brian Tugwell Cooma
Talented youth Editor, Cooma was again treated to an outstanding performance last Wednesday with the Young @ Art, a night of music making by local artists. Well over 20 young Cooma people showed off their talents using a wide variety of musical instruments. Cooma has an amazing group of gifted young musicians. I am not a relative, nor do I know any of the young artists well so my appreciation of their talent was not influenced by family bias. It was a great pleasure to be able to hear them perform. Congratulation to all the players and also to the proud parents and the impressive group of music teachers we have in Cooma. We are so fortunate to have you here! Suzanne Dunning Cooma

St Pats Year 10 Sydney excursion 2010 saw the Year 10s venture to Sydney to experience the glitz and glamour of the big smoke. After an early start of 6:00 am we had an action packed four days of Sydney sightseeing ahead. On our arrival in Sydney we travelled to Manly by ferry, which was a first for some, to take in the beach and shopping. Some highlights of day one included ten-pin bowling and laser skirmish. After departing Aarons Hotel on the second day, we visited Taronga Zoo and after seeing animals such as the new baby elephant and monkeys, it was time to head back to the National Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour
for a submarine tour and more shopping! We then had a very exciting and (dare we say it) educational afternoon of racing planes at the Sydney International Airport for the very last Airside Tarmac Tour. Our charismatic tour guide was a wealth of knowledge, telling us facts like: did you know that the aeroplanes are washed by hand? And that the Sydney International Airport is one of the only airports in the world with a runway long enough for a space shuttle to land? This bus trip around the airport and runways was a highlight for many, thanks in part to the tour guide himself. We finished off our second day with ice skating at Macquarie Centre which saw many bumps and bruises on

almost everyone. Waking up stiff and sore from the previous night’s spills everyone put on their ‘Sunday best’ for the traditional Formal Day. After a visit to St Mary’s Cathedral and a marathon photo shoot at the Hyde Park fountain we took a tour of Sydney’s tallest building, Sydney Tower. Lunch saw us all trying many different culinary delights in the revolving restaurant, such as seafood bisque and roast kangaroo. We took a stroll through our parent’s era at the Powerhouse Museum’s ‘The 80s are back’ exhibition. The monorail then took us back to the City Centre to enjoy our much anticipated free time in Pitt Street Mall for dinner and shopping. We then had a night out at the Lyric theatre. “West Side Story” took our breath away with a spectacular opening performance captivating and inspiring the group. The final day saw us finding bargains at Paddy’s Markets, some coming back with curious objects such as Samurai swords, machetes and doorags.

SNOWY RIVER ALLIANCE Inc.
‘VOTE 1’ for the SNOWY RIVER 2010 Federal Election
In 1967, when Jindabyne Dam was completed, 99% of the Snowy River headwaters was captured by the Snowy Scheme and diverted west for electricity generation and irrigation. The mighty Snowy River became a swampy creek. In 1996, scientists identified that 28% average annual flow was the MINIMUM required to restore the river. In 2000, following a long community campaign, the Commonwealth, Victorian and New South Wales Governments signed an agreement to restore 28% flow to the Snowy River. In 2002, the three Governments passed the Snowy legislation which included funding to return 21% flow to the Snowy River below Jindabyne Dam, by 2012. In August 2002, the first environmental flows were returned to the Snowy River when the Mowamba Aqueduct, which diverted the Mowamba River into Jindabyne Dam, was shut off allowing the Mowamba River to follow its natural course down to the Snowy. However in January 2006 the Aqueduct was re-opened. The water, which flowed down the Mowamba River whilst the Aqueduct was shut off, is known as the Mowamba Borrowings Account and it has to be repaid to Snowy Hydro Ltd. The repayment of this ‘debt’ is capping Snowy flows at 4% annual flow. To date, the three Governments have jointly provided $425 million to return 21% flow to the Snowy River by 2012, B U T ... ten years on, the Snowy River remains on life support, of 4% annual flow.
The following actions are required immediately to save the Snowy River: •
Permanently close the Mowamba Aqueduct to allow the Mowamba River to flow its natural course down to the Snowy;
•
Payout the Mowamba Borrowings Account to avoid capping Snowy flows at 4% annual flow;
•
Funding to deliver 21% ‘real water’ below Jindabyne Dam by 2012;
•
Return flows to the Upper Snowy in Kosciuszko National Park below Guthega Dam and Island Bend Dam;
•
Funding to deliver the final promised 7% to return the 28% minimum annual flow required to restore the Snowy, including compensation arrangements with Snowy Hydro Ltd;
•
An independent inquiry into the expenditure of the $425 million of taxpayers’ money provided for Snowy River environmental flows.

Looking at career path Sarah Cooke, who recently graduated from Monaro High School, has just spent a valuable two weeks of work experience at Snowy Mountains Christian School. Sarah is interested in investigating a possible future career path as a teacher’s aide. Sarah worked with a very wide range of students at Snowy Mountains Christian School. This included working with Kindergarten and their teacher, Mrs Trevaskis, and she says that these younger students are a particular passion for her. She also worked with Mrs Chesham, a teacher’s aide, to assist students in Years 1-2, she helped to teach drama to Years 3-4, and she also worked with the High School English and History classes led by Ms Dee. Mike Nightingale, the school principal, said Sarah quickly fitted
into the programs at SMCS and her enthusiasm ensured that she made a very valuable contribution school life.

Both libraries look forward to your visit. BRISBANE VISITOR Cooma has turned on its very cool weather for visitor Teena Gray who comes from sunny Brisbane but she does not mind in fact she is hoping to see snow in Cooma!! She is having an enjoyable time with her Mother Janette Stone exploring Cooma and all the local sights. She can’t get over how friendly everyone in Cooma is after shopping and living in a suburb of Brisbane. Apart from visiting Thredbo she hopes to drive over the Brown Mountain next week to discover the magnificent scenery. An afternoon tea was held in her honour last week, attended by Marlies Keppel, Irene Ramm and others.

Australian Unity is providing members with the right health remedy to prevent osteoporosis and manage bone health. Through its preventative health business Remedy Healthcare, Australian Unity is the only Australian health fund offering a free chronic disease management program to members with or at risk of osteoporosis. Australian Unity group executive Healthcare Amanda Hagan said half of all women and a third of all men over 60 years will suffer an osteoporotic fracture. “Australians may not know that for Caucasian women of all ages, the risk of hip fracture is greater than the risk of breast cancer. The death rate associated with hip fracture is also greater than that associated with breast cancer, with 20-30 percent of all patients dying within 12 months,” Ms Hagan said. “The statistics are just as alarming for men. The risk of men developing an osteoporotic fracture is

greater than the risk of developing prostate cancer.” She said up to 80 percent of people with osteoporotic fractures are not treated to prevent further bone loss and future fractures. “Our Bone Health, program available depending on the level of cover held, can help members prevent fractures, stay out of hospital and promotes safety and independence at home. Australian Unity also provides a dedicated benefit for members to assist with the cost of bone density screening, so those at risk can be identified and prevent further deterioration. “While the federal government funds bone density screening for Australian’s aged over 70, we recognise this may be too late for many people, especially women as the risk of osteoporosis in women rises dramatically after menopause,” Ms Hagan said. She said it pays to review the level of cover and benefits your health insurance product offers, especially for older Australians.

I was stunned when I realised that some men still harbour that long dead belief that women can’t drive but there it was in one of the Sunday papers; men in general admitting they are still apprehensive about travelling in the car when their women are in the driver’s seat! Oh Diddums!!! But let’s back up a bit here. Once upon a time men were of the opinion that women were incapable of dealing with anything outside the home and therefore would never be able to cope with something so “complex” as driving a car so, as more women started tossing the tea towel and getting behind the wheel, they countered it with condescending remarks like “I’ll just get her a bomb because she’s only going to wreck it anyway” when it came to getting a second car for her to drive. Oh really? Grrrrrrr! So where do men get off? A woman has to sit the same theory test, the same driving test and has to abide by the same road rules as a man so hey, if she passed the theory test and the driving test then guess what? She has been deemed competent and capable of driving a car which is why she was given a driver’s licence and if I hear one word from
some sneering male about what she may (or may not!) have been wearing when she sat the test I will stomp all over him in my five inch stilettos (which are impractical for driving, I admit, but hello! I Am Woman etc)! But seriously, I really thought that men were over the “woman driver” thing and let’s face it, how many women do you see driving one handed, with one arm resting carelessly on the driver’s door (window right down) checking out the eye candy on the footpath instead of watching the traffic? Or hooning around in some pimped up machine that the (inevitably male) driver mistakenly believes will compensate for any lack in inches? Hey, I’m talking height here (what were you thinking??!). Well okay, so maybe I was thinking that too... Anyway, it just goes to show that despite everything, men have not evolved at all. They still see themselves as superior in all things except those things they don’t want to have a bar of, like housework and childcare, and still believe the little woman should refrain from bothering her pretty little head over things she just couldn’t begin to understand, like driving. So where do we go from here? Straight for the throat girls, that’s where! Now where did I put those shoes?

Bring biodiversity to life and Operation Christmas Child win prizes Australian school students are being urged to embrace the variety of life in the world around them by entering the Bayer Science For A Better Life online competition, developed by Bayer Australia and the Australian Science Festival, with the assistance of the CSIRO. The competition is being launched today as part of the Australian Science Festival (2-15 August 2010). The Australian Science Festival is the second largest science festival in the world. This year’s festival celebrates the International Year of Biodiversity by encouraging students to learn about living plants and animals. A report commissioned by the Group of Eight universities has painted a bleak picture of science in Australia, with low participation rates among school students. The report found the state of the sciences in Australia “has deteriorated to a dangerous level, and continues to deteriorate”. The Bayer Science For A Better Life Competition encourages both primary and high school students to take an interest in the subject with the hope that these students pursue studies and careers in science. Winning entrants of the competition will be awarded CSIRO prizes including a microscope set, biology madness kit or Australian
menagerie game. All schools with winning students will receive a worm farm and eco-composter – to get those green juices flowing! Winners will be announced on the Australian Science Festival website. The competition closes at 5pm on September 1, 2010. Bayer, sponsor of the competition, has been at the forefront of science and innovation in health care, crop protection and high tech materials for nearly 150 years. CEO of Bayer Australia and New Zealand, Joerg Ellmanns, says providing avenues for Australian students to pursue interests in science will build strong foundations for the next generation of thinkers and pioneer home-grown innovation. “Scientific advancements are imperative to our future, especially in the face of global environmental change. To position Australia at the cutting edge of creativity and innovation, we need to foster this talent in young minds,” said Mr Ellmanns. “This is especially important for protecting Australia’s endemic species and conserving natural resources.” To enter the Bayer Science For A Better Life Competition please visit www.sciencefestival.com.au. The Australian Science Festival will run from 2 – 15 August at the National Convention Centre in Canberra.
Volunteers and goods for Operation Christmas Child last week. Have you ever thought of someone less fortunate than yourself, especially at Christmas time? What about those children from countries not as lucky as Australia, what do they do for Christmas? If you have ever crossed this bridge and thought about it, now is the time to make your thoughts into actions. Operation Christmas Child is a project of the Samaritan’s Purse, which is an International organisation helping poorer communities throughout the world. Operation Christmas Child is where you can donate a shoe box (pre wrapped in Christmas paper and labelled for either a boy or a girl and of a particular age group) filled with inexpensive gifts. Some gift ideas are a soft toy or doll, something for school, clothes, balls, skipping rope, musical instrument, personal hygiene items (no tooth paste or liquids), sunglasses, handbag, craft items, stickers or jewellery. There are many items that cannot be included because of international shipping regulations and customs but you can get a full list of what you can and can’t send from off the website www.
samaritanspurse.org.au The organisation has worked very hard over a number of years gaining the trust of authorities from various countries and all boxes are checked prior to being shipped to make sure items are exactly what is acceptable. Many of the ‘shoe boxes’ go to non Christian countries and this year boxes from Australia and New Zealand will be sent to Vietnam, Cambodia, Papua New Guinea, Thailand and Fiji. Last year Australia and New Zealand sent 8.2 million boxes away for children to enjoy and in the ACT Southern NSW region alone there were 24048 boxes sent to children less fortunate. For the first time Vietnam has given permission to have the ‘operation’ filmed and this is one example of how they are gaining the trust from the countries they are donating to. From October 1 the boxes are beginning to be sorted, but you can still donate a box anytime before October 25. Details for drop off points are available on the website, you can also donate online and all cash donations are tax deductible.
‘The Barstars’ Storm Jindy by Rob Thomas, Snowy River Echo ‘The Barstars’ are the hottest new band to take the Snowy Mountains by storm and these four talented Cooma based musicians have a great sound and some serious musical history behind them. In August 2010, ‘The Barstars’ are looking at plenty of `firsts’! The band will make their first live appearance in Jindabyne at the launch of their self-titled debut CD on Saturday August 21 at the Jindabyne Bowling Club Auditorium commencing at 2pm. The show will also coincide with the opening of the Barstars first group art exhibition showcasing the talents of guitarist Gunther Gorman, drummer Dave Twohill, bass player Mike Waddle and `front man’ guitarist/songwriter Roger McCullough. Guitarist, Gunther Gorman has been a part of Australia’s music industry for more than just a couple of years, starting in the swinging sixties at the ripe old age of 12 when he landed a wedding gig at Parramatta Bowling Club. After attending the National School of Art in Canberra, Gunther returned to Sydney to play with Australia’s first country rock group ‘Home’- the brainchild of Glyn Mason, former member of ‘Chain’ and Trevor Wilson from the original ‘La De Das’. Gunther went on to work with such legendary groups as Ross Wilson’s ‘Daddy Cool’ and 70’s super group ‘Sherbet’ with Daryl Braithwaite and Garth Porter. After receiving a call from Glen A. Baker, Gunther then embarked on a ten year `here, there, and everywhere’ stint Frankie J. Holden and Wilbur Wilde in `Ol’ 55’ in addition to being a major contributor to the recording of Richard Clapton’s pivotal album ‘Good Bye Tiger’. Drummer, Dave Twohill is a founding Member of ‘Mental As Anything’ and also is without doubt a key part of Australia’s music history. In addition to being a part of the most successful `singles charting’ band of all time within Australia, like other former ‘Mentals’ he is also a recognised painter in his own right. Dave was born and bred in Cooma and recently returned there with his partner ceramic artist, Angela Buckley. Avid readers of the Echo will remember from this time last year, that Dave, along with the other members of ‘The Mentals’, was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame at the Forum Theatre in Melbourne.

Dave has toured with groups including New Zealand’s ‘Dragon’ and iconic Aussie band ‘Men at Work’. More recently, Dave performed in Sydney with rock legend and aboriginal elder Vick Simms and says that he is incredibly excited about the formation and the future of ‘The Barstars’. Mike Waddle is the versatile hub of ‘The Barstars’. Originally from Sydney’s northern beaches Mike plays bass, guitar, keyboards and Didgeridoo as well as doing the `post’ production sound mixing for the album. Mike was faced with the interesting task of taking what was originally a live recording and adding overdubs, backing vocals and finishing touches. Mike says that the way the album was put together, based on the original live recording, has given the music a more vibrant, spontaneous, and dynamic `old school’ feel that you just don’t get with a purely studio recording. From a list of 25 original songs recorded at Jerry Pavey’s `Down by the Lake’ studio at his Michelago farmhouse the group has settled on 12 tracks that they ALL really love for their first CD. Vocalist/guitarist Roger McCullough was a major catalyst in the formation of ‘The Barstars’. Roger was singing one night when Dave and Gunther walked into Coffees Hotel to enjoy one of the venue’s popular ‘Musicians’ Nights’. They both enjoyed Roger’s performance so much they struck up a friendship and the band evolved from there. Roger has been playing since he was 14, starting for the same reason as many musicians, ‘to get the girls’. Prior to inception of ‘The Barstars’, Roger performed on the south coast for several years with ‘The Fish’. Roger said the group has already got together about 3 albums worth of original material with more on the way but like the other members of ‘The Barstars’, he is particularly happy with the tracks they have chosen for their first recorded album. According to Roger: “If you love the music of the sixties, seventies, eighties and beyond then you’ll love the music of ‘The Barstars’...I honestly think every generation, especially the baby boomers, will really dig it”.

a Bachelor of Veterinary Science to work in rural NSW. Dr Kathleen Farr OAM was one of the University of Sydney’s first female veterinary graduates and a trail blazer for women in the profession in Australia. Born in Sale Victoria in March 1917, Dr Farr then moved to Vaucluse, Sydney in 1933 where she attended Sydney Girl’s High School. After graduating from the University of Sydney in 1938 she went on to a successful career in government and army services, followed by private veterinary practice in rural NSW. Renowned for taking female undergraduates under her wing and exposing them to the rough and tumble of rural veterinary practice, Dr Farr was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia “for service to Veterinary Science, particularly
through the Australian Veterinary Association.” “Kath Farr not only knew that she could do things as well as any male vet, in many cases she could show them how it was done,” explained NSW Division President Dr Geoff Tomkins. The AVA is calling for donations to help to establish the fund as self supporting. “We invite our colleagues in the bush, members who knew Kath personally, country people wishing to perpetuate the values espoused by Kath, and from anyone wishing to help a cause in country NSW to contribute,” said Dr Tomkins. Anyone who would like to contribute to the Kath Farr Scholarship, please contact the AVA at execnsw@ava.com.au or call on 02 9431 5064
Coalition commits to trade priorities In a double windfall for farmers the Coalition has committed to pursuing comprehensive trade agreements – reaffirming agriculture as a central pillar in all negotiations – and returning to a dedicated, stand-alone federal trade minister who has a seat in Cabinet. “Some have suggested Australia should throw in the towel and carve out sensitive sectors, such as agriculture, from future trade negotiations,” National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) President David Crombie explained. “Such a weak-kneed approach to our national trade objectives would send a signal to our trading partners that they can undermine Australia’s $32 billion-a-year farm exports.“Agriculture is already

Rural scholarship to attract female vets A new scholarship which encourages young female veterinarians to practice in rural areas has been established in memory of one of Australia’s first female vets. The Kath Farr Scholarship, which will be awarded annually to a final year female veterinary science student at the University of Sydney, was announced by the Australian Veterinary Association this week. This scholarship commemorates the life of one of Australia’s pioneering female veterinarians, a well know personality who practiced for many years in the New England region of NSW (from Tamworth to Toowoomba and Armidale and everywhere in between). The scholarship, which is worth $1,000 annually, has been established to encourage female students enrolled in the final year of

the most distorted area of international trade. If we are to remain sustainable and prosper, Australia must be resolute and pursue all-inclusive trade deals to ensure the export side of the ledger works for us.Today’s commitment is reassuring for Australian farmers who export over 60 percent of everything we produce. “It is also important that trade be a stand-alone portfolio with a seat in Cabinet. In the wake of the global financial crisis trade liberalisation has been put on the back-burner, which is ironic given that now, more than ever, freeing up trade can provide a significant boost to economic welfare.

26 Grassroots Short 1080 and Pindone courses
Wednesday August 11, 2010
Students learn about noxious weeds
In order to assist landholders in controlling pest animals, the Livestock Health and Pest Authority has developed a new shorter training course which will allow landholders to use 1080 and Pindone baits on their properties. Pest animals such as rabbits and foxes have a considerable economic
and environmental cost to agriculture and biodiversity, and it is the legal responsibility of all landholders to control pest animals on their land. The 1080 Pesticide Control Order (PCO) restricted the supply of 1080 baits to persons holding a minimum AQF3 chemical accreditation – many landholders failed to meet this requirement. As a result, participation in baiting programs has declined by as much as 85 percent. The Pesticides Regulation 2009 has been amended so that successful completion of this course will allow the use of 1080 and Pindone baiting in NSW. The new training course will be delivered by LHPA rangers and will cover topics such as baiting techniques, toxicity, risk management, storage, transport and legislation. Those completing the course will be issued a certification card and will remain accredited for five years. As an introductory offer, ratepayers to LHPA will receive a 50 percent discount on the standard $44 course. At $22 and only two and a half hours, this represents a significant time and cost saving on the full AQF3 course. The next courses to be held in Bega are on Monday August 16 at 9am and Saturday September 4 at 9am. Please register your r -PU (VOZBI 7BODPVWFS 8)(%
interest by phoning the Bega office of LHPA on 6492 4JSF 0OTMPX 8JOXPPE 1283.

Weeds advisory officer Roger Roach and the students. Last week the Monaro High School Year 12 Earth and Environment students spent time in the field with Roger Roach, Noxious Weeds Advisory Officer from Cooma-Monaro Shire Council. The enthusiastic children were armed with a range of questions on the impacts of noxious weeds on our environment. They wanted to learn about which weeds are present and how to identify the worst weeds on the Monaro; what practices are used to control these weeds and how/what can be done to minimize the damage that weeds cause. The students compared weed affected areas to undisturbed native sites and pastured improved sites. Monaro High School Earth and Environment teacher Kasey Marks said the students showed a real concern for our local area and the environment as a whole.
Did you know? Weeds cost Agriculture almost 4 billion dollars per year in control cost and lost production. Environmentally no costs can be assessed, but there is a widespread impact on Bio-diversity and ecosystems, heritage values and public amenity. Did you know? Over the last 200 years we have introduced over 27,000 foreign plants. Over 10% are considered weeds. Did you know? A staggering 65% of weeds in Australia are garden escapees. Did you know? The six worst weeds in Australia have already degraded over 20 million hectares of land. (Approximately the area of Victoria)

Mike Edmondson with Sharon Ellis of Snowprint Bookshop at the launch of The Australian Alps – Classic Mountains Landscapes. Mike Edmondson once again captures the grandeur and beauty of the Australia’s Alps in his latest book The Australian Alps – Classic Mountain Landscapes. Launched on Tuesday, August 3, at the Snowy Mountains Visitor Centre in Jindabyne, Mike said that following the success of his first book ten years ago and the need for a second edition, it was decided to compile a new book with hitherto unpublished images from the 34,000 photos he took over many years. The Australian Alps – Classic Mountain Landscapes contains 76 pages of mountain scenery which was captured with either panorama or digital cameras and laid out season by season.
Dedicated to his parents, his wife and children, their children and their children, the book targets those love and care about the environment. Mike was proud to thank the people who assisted him in the project including his son Tom and his sponsors - the National Park & Wildlife Service, the Mountain Adventure Service, Snowprint Book Shop, Jindabyne Newsagency, Perisher Blue, Lake Crackenback Resort and Tourism Snowy Mountains. Some of the scenes depicted in the book are currently exhibited at the Snowy Region Visitor Centre where Mike shares the Theatrette with paintings by his mother Sue Edmondson.

Colts season nears completion Mini Lotto has now finished and the Cooma Colts would like to thank the local hotels and the public for supporting the Colts during 2010. Under 9 Cooma Colts under 9s played at home against the Bungendore Tigers, although the Tigers had to forfeit even though they made the long journey, we decided to still have a game. It was nice that some of our boys happily joined in on the Tiger’s team, for the love of the game. This week’s Medal went to Brendan Beileiter and the McDonalds award went to Jordan McLeod. Next week is our last game of the season so we hope that we will see lots of supporters down at the showground supporting the Colts. Under 10 Cooma Colts under 10s played North Canberra on Sunday winning the game 42 points to 6 points. Dylan Van Gemert made a run through the opposition to score the first try, with Cameron Faulkner converting. The boys’ defence was outstanding throughout the entire game, keeping North Canberra out from the line. Lachlan Inskip went on to score the next two tries with Thomas Hain Converting 1. James Hill scored just before half time to leave the score 24 points to 0. The boys’ lapse in concentration saw North Canberra come back and score minutes into the second half, but the boys regained control and went on to score. Connor Inskip scored his first try of the season with a brilliant offload from Dylan Van Gemert. Lachlan Inskip went on to score the next two tries with Bill Zammit converting one, leaving the score 42 points to 6 points at full time. All the boys are to be congratulated on their great game. Medals went to Cameron Faulkner, McDonald awards went to Dylan Van Gemert and Tyrone McDermott.
take the half time lead at 14-6. Cooma re-grouped and scored out wide through a sneaky pass from Minards to Dean Blyton who successfully took on the Dragons winger. Richard Bensley made amends for a dropped ball by charging through the Dragons defense to score under the posts and Luke Platts converted to have the Colts winning the second half but falling short on the final score, going down 20-16. A well deserving Josh McDonald received the team medal and all players received the encouragement award as they didn’t give up all match. This is the end of the season for the U14’s as they have a bye next week and will not make the finals but they certainly showed some heart to bounce back from a tough start to the season and finish with a good team structure to be built on next year.
Under 13 The Under 13 Colts travelled to Kaleen to take on the North Canberra Bears last Sunday. The Colts scored first after eight minutes following a Bears’ error via a try to Austin Riley. In the next set of six the Colts spread the ball left and found Daniel Anderson who found holes in the Bears’ defence before finding the try line. Aaron Pidcock converted for a 10-0 lead. The Colts were showing good ball control and got a repeat set of six following a penalty. Daniel Hopkin was able to dive over from close range to extend the score to 14-0 right on half time. The Bears awoke from their slumber in the second half and posted their first points after two sets attacking in Cooma’s half. Cooma’s defence picked up after this and forced a mistake from the Bears. Cooma scored from the scrum via Austin Riley who picked up a double. The Colts managed two more tries in the next two sets of six, both to Andrew Crimmins, the first a solo effort from 40m out and the other on the back of a strong run by Jeremy Mackay. The Bears managed a consolation try, but the Colts had the last laugh with a try to Daniel Anderson (who picked up a double also). Josh Zammit converted making the final score Cooma 36 Bears 12. Players Player was awarded to Austin Riley and the Player of the Week to Jerod Blyton. A great team effort by the boys who had no reserves and dug deep to make the most of their uses of the football and keep the much bigger Bears forwards under control. We have a home game against Bungendore next week. It would be great to confirm a spot in the finals with a win. Under 14 The Colts U14 team travelled to Gowrie last Sunday to take on the Valley Dragons White side and all anticipated a strong match. Cooma was going to struggle without key injured players but felt they were up to the task. Valley Dragons opened the encounter but were soon pegged back by a James Minards’ special from the kick off and Austin Willis-Reynolds successfully kicked the goal from near the sideline. The Dragons crossed the line twice to

Under 11 The boys played Tuggeranong in a match with lots of penalties interrupting the flow of the game. Will Shingles scored in the first five minutes and Zac Saddler converted making the score 6-nil. Zac Saddler scored another two tries after strong runs with one conversion by Dane Freimanis. The half time score was 16 nil in favour of the Colts. In the second half only one try was scored when Tuggeranong found a gap in the Colts’ defence and the final score ended up 16 points to 4 in the Colts favour. There were strong performances by Jake Hedger and Carson Barrett and good defence by Zac Saddler and Will Shingles. The boys have a bye next week. With only one loss for the year the boys are in second position and will play in the semi finals on Sunday August 29, against Yass. It has been a great effort by the boys this year to make the semi finals. Under 12 The Colts under 12s played Crookwell at the showground on Sunday. Mitch Rolfe opened the scoring after nine minutes with a great try and Jessy McMahon added the extras to put the boys up 6 points to 0. The Crookwell boys responded not long after with an unconverted try to have them trail the Colts by two. The Colts were next to score after a kick from Damo Hayden saw Hugh Allen get to the ball first and crossover out wide. With the conversion waved away the Colts led 10 points to 4. Right on half time Damo Hayden kicked a penalty goal to put the Colts ahead 12 to 4 at the break. Mitch Rolfe was first to score after the break and with Hughie Allen converting the boys led 18 to 4, then the bad habit of going to high set in with the boys’ tackling. Crookwell scored three quick tries and luckily for the Colts none were converted. Just before the full time whistle Jimmy Russell scored after another kick from Damo Hayden to take the full time score 22 points to 16 in favour of the Colts. With the semi finals on the doorstep the boys will have to do some homework on their defence. The medal this week went to Chris Burns, the McDonald’s awards went to Harry Nichols and Jesson Bowerman and the Percy’s Newsagency Award went to Jimmy Russell.

Cooma Colts under 9 played Bungendore.
Under 15 Cooma headed to Gowrie on Sunday to take on second on the ladder Valley Dragons. With only 10 players the boys knew the game would be tough, but played in the right spirit of having some fun with it. The Dragons stamped their mark when the scored three quick tries before Harry Roach and Jacob Moon combined to pull off a great try. Blake Jones took second honors and scored our second try out wide and Blake Byrne capped it off with a fabulous kick. The forwards fought tirelessly all day and Dean Byrne, Eric Conley, Michael Watsford gave their best. The Dragons retaliated with another try and the half time score read 20 points to 10. Coach Mark Weston told the boys to enjoy the game and maintain control, attitude and aim to complete the sets, while Captain Dudey gave words of wisdom and encouragement. Scrums proved to be a bit of a joke as we were down three players. With no reserves to give the boys a rest the Dragons came back fast and strong in the second half after they realised we weren’t fielding a full team. Zane Weston, Blayne Thomas, Jack Downie and Blake Jones tried to cover out wide but the lack of numbers enabled the Dragons to score five more tries. Not to be left scoreless in the second half Harry Roach pulled off some magic and converted his own try. The final score was Dragons 44 Colts 16 and Michael Watsford took man of the match. Under 16 The boys played their best game of the season when they took on Goulburn at the Cooma Showground last Friday night. Goulburn scored early and went to a six point lead before Cooma countered with a brilliant cut out pass from Mitchell Hynes that gave Jack Johnson a ten metre passage to the try line, along the side of the field, from the wing position. The boys went to the break with the score 6 to 4 in Goulburn’s way. Coach Brian Johnson praised his team’s effort and told them to mix their play up by using planned moves and not to run one out in attack. He also suggested that they slow the opposition down at the play of ball. Goulburn scored two early tries in the second half and raced to a 14 point lead. The boys were unperturbed and muscled up in both attack and defence. Tim Williams led a resurgence by creating a line break for himself and then raced 50 metres to the tryline. Moments later he figured in our third try with an inside pass to Lachlan Fraser who burrowed his way to the try line from five metres out. Unfortunately, time ran out and at the completion of play the boys were behind 18 to 16 with goal kicking the difference. There were many outstanding performances. Brian Cronan, Tim William, Mitchell Hynes excelled in the backs and Campbell Hillman, Josh Whittle, Lachlan Fraser, Tom Harmey, Andrew Jones and Jake Byrne provided a solid platform in both attack and defence. Next week the boys take on the competition front runners in their final game of the season at Greenway Oval.

Red Devils Under 10’s win 70-nil against Marist Once again the mighty High Country Hyundai under 10 Red Devils showed the Canberra teams what they are made of with an astonishing win of 70-0 against Marist in front of a home ground crowd on Saturday . Coach Campbell Young couldn’t decide on who should receive the points this week so all players got two points. The only advice from the coach was in games like this the boys need to share the ball around more and give some of the others who haven’t scored this year a go.
The team was all over the Marist side from the very beginning, showing great ball control and cleaning out continuously. The defence stepped up this week and the marking up was very impressive to say the least. Now as the season is approaching the finals it’s time for the boys to buckle down, listen to their coach at training as well as on game day and not get over confident. The finals are well within their reach as long as they continue to pass the ball and listen. Next weeks game is in Canberra at Grammar against Grammar.
Marist too strong for under 14s The under 12 Red Devils can still make the semi finals.
Under 12 Red Devils 19-5 win Some of the under 14s action on Saturday. The Cooma Rural Under 14s Devils went to Rotary Oval on Saturday looking for a win against Marist College to end a two game losing streak. The match started well for the local lads, with the Cooma forward pack dominating the break downs and providing plenty of possession. Matt Cusbert was impressive in his first game as fly half and soon dodged through a swarm of defenders to score Cooma’s first try in the corner. Realising they could not match the home team’s forwards, Marist started spinning the ball out wide and soon found some gaps, despite some determined tackling by substitute winger Sam Scarlett and full back Kevin Fraser, newly returned from a training camp in Canada. By keeping the ball out wide the visitors managed to score three tries
in quick succession, converting two of them to open up a 19 – 5 lead. The Devils did not let this set back put them off and fought back admirably for most of the second half, right to the final siren. Aggressive rucking and mauling by the Cooma forwards, particularly Keegan White, Charlie Miners and Daniel Robinson kept the ball away from their opponents and resulted in tries to Sam Eljuga and Gregor Wallace and Jarrod Sopniewski’s successful conversion of the last try put Cooma within two points of the visitors. Unfortunately the full time whistle put an end to the Devils’ fight back while it was still gathering momentum. The Cooma boys were a little unlucky to suffer another loss but are still in with a chance of making the semi finals if they can lift slightly for the last two competition games.
Last Saturday saw the black division Mainstreet Red Devils under 12’s side play against Marist. The Devils had the home ground advantage but at half time the score was 5-0 to Marist. This being mainly due to a lazy breakdown. At halftime a few words of ‘encouragement’ were given by the coach and in the second half the boys turned it on. They were switched on and drilled the Marist boys all the second half. Coach Chris Allen said this game was the best game he had seen them play all season. Last year a few players were the team, this season every single player has grown and become a much more confident and stronger team orientated player, creating the team we now have at the end of this season. Next year if we keep most of our players we will be a very competitative team in the black division. The defence was simply outstanding, Marist had no answers for it all game. The boys all played an outstanding game with Hamish ‘twinkle toes’ MartinSmith having his best game of the season playing great defence at five eighth and running the back line
up in Marists face, he took the 3 points this week. Liam ‘refrigerator’ Allen was in fine form doing his old trick of diving into the maul stealing the ball palming a few players off and scoring. Luke ‘go to’ Rixon also had a great game with Liam and Luke taking the two points. Jordon ‘Sniper’ Chenery played a blinder and took away the one point this week. Troy ‘bling bling’ Freebody played a great game and was in the action all game. Next week is unfortunately the under 12’s final game of the season as they have a bye on the last game. They have done the club and themselves proud this year in the black division and only just missed a place in the finals. They are playing Grammar at Grammar and are hoping for a win in their final game of the year. The under 12’s then had the ‘pleasure’ to watch their coach play in the ‘Golden Oldies’ division against Tuggerangong, where they constantly gave advice, yelled instructions and handed out ‘water’ bottles to him.
Bush Devils too good for Eddies The Bush Devils played in Jindabyne this weekend and had a much deserved win they raced away to lead 17 nil at half time. At the resumption of play St Edmunds came out and scored an early try to make it 17-5 then it became a defence dominated game as the
forwards of both teams fought it out and cancelled each other out, the player points for man of the match went 3 to James Cole 2 Kaile Bailey 1 Tom Filpot the final score was 17-5 to the Bush Devils,

Jordan Louis in awe At the Athletics ACT August “High Noon Meet” in Canberra on Sunday August 1 Jordan Louis (U/12) in this his first competition was in awe to be throwing the Hammer against the 2010 Australian Commonwealth Games Rep Tim Driesen (66.23 mts). Jordan marvelled at the speed of Tim’s turns and the elevation that Hammer soared to, as Tim recorded a best on the day throw of 66 mts plus. Jordan, who was throwing for the first time at a major venue, and throwing up an age, recorded 17.60 mts (3kg). Keep swinging that Hammer Jordan and see if you can “hurl it into orbit”.
At the Javelin and also throwing up a weight, Jordan astounded himself and others by hurling the 600 gms Javelin to a “Personal Best” Throw of 27.09 mts. This surpasses his PB with the 400 gms by two metres. As the third throwing event began on the day, Shot Put, the heavens opened and cold stinging rain engulfed the stadium. With everybody saturated to the skin, no one produced any quality throws on the day with Jordan managing a 6.44 mts as his best. The next “High Noon Meet” is on August 15 at the AIS Track Bruce ACT.
Cooma Rifle Club Last Saturday morning Cooma rifle club shot from 400 yards for the deferred July heat of the club championship and Gregory Shield and for the August heat of the NRA Medal competition. The morning was cold and frosty but conditions improved rapidly when the sun came out and a light breeze blew the fog away. There was a good turn up of eight shooters with some very good stages shot when the wind was light and consistent. Later in the morning a cold south westerly sprang up with ground turbulence that caused a lot of variation, including reversals that held the
scores down. The off-rifle scores were: Damien Doyle 49.7 and 45.3 total 94.10, Noel Barrett 48.2 and 46.2 total 94.4, Don Robb 45.0 and 44.3 total 89.3, Graeme Crundwell 43.1 and 42.0 total 85.1, Roger Avis 43.1 and 39.0 total 82.1, Liam Robb 47.5 and 31.0 total 78.5, Brian Bradley 13.0 and 37.0 total 50.0, Lachlan Thompson 35.0 single stage only. With handicaps Damien was first followed by Noel, Don, Graeme, Liam and Brian. Next week shooting will be from 500 yards for the first monthly spoon.
Big day for Rugby in Cooma It was a big day for rugby at Rotary Oval last Saturday. The day started at 9.30am with juniors matches, which led into a ‘gentlemen’s lunch’ at the Cooma Ex-services Club where Owen Finnegan was guest speaker. A second guest speaker, David Pembroke was unable to attend. The occasion was to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Red Devils 2000 first grade ‘undefeated’ premiership, winning at home against Crookwell. The celebrations continued as the ‘old’ team presented the 2010 team with their jerseys at halftime in the reserves match. Then followed a veterans’ game between some veteran Devils and Vikings, a couple of whom played for the Devils as not everyone was sure of their fitness levels. In true rugby fashion, the veterans match was a seven-all draw, but a good time was had by all, especially the drinks waiters. Then followed the first grade match against Royals. The Vikings may have done well to lend Royals a couple of players, as 13 players, who had already played a full game against the Reserves, were no match for the revved-up Red Devils first grade. The game ended 10 minutes early, the referee obviously believing that at 82-nil down, Royals had no hope of reversing their fortunes.
While this ended up little more than a spirited training session for the firsts, there were some good patches of play. Tries were scored by Matt Gibbs, Curtis Watkins, Phil Johnson, Will Nicholls, Luke Taylor, Craig Willock, Ryan Morgan 2, Zeb Learoyd 2 and Sam, ‘Zumba” Bacigalup 2. Ryan Morgan had plenty of goal kicking practise, landing 11. Points for the game went to Zeb Learoyd 3 and Players’ player, Curtis Watkins 2 and Ed ‘Steggles’ Ingram and Phil Johnson 1. Reserves While the reserves were unlucky not to win against Royals, they did do a good job in tiring them before first grade. As in previous weeks, the reserves had a much stronger second half than first half and went close to pegging back the lead. But it was not to be and Royals managed to escape with a 27-18 win. For Cooma, tries were scored by Ned Jeffries and Ben Abraham and Ben also landed one conversion and two penalty goals. Points for the match went to Ted Green 3, Damien Hopkins 2 and players’ player and Ned Jeffries 1. Next week both teams are at home again, matches starting at 1.30pm and 3pm.
Phil Johnson was never touched as he sprinted over the line for this try.

Depleted Cats stay the course
33
The Cats Mal Paterson contests a mark with his Magpies’ opponent. It was never going to be an easy day for the Cooma Cats when they met the Belconnen Magpies at Snowy Oval on Saturday, but that’s footy. With 17 players on their list unavailable through injury, work or family commitments, a depleted Cats’ side took to the field against the secondplaced Magpies knowing that grabbing the four points was unlikely – and the final scoreboard proved them right reading Cooma 5-6-36 to Belconnen 22-28-160. But sometimes, the points are not the measuring stick of club success. “We knew this was going to be a tough day, but I’m extremely proud of the way the 21 blokes who donned the blue and white jumper of the Cooma Cats today gave it their all for themselves, their teammates and their club,” Cats Club president Dave Paterson said. “It was just unfortunate we had so many blokes unavailable through thoroughly understandable reasons – that’s just something that happens towards the end of a long, hard season of footy. But it is a strong measure of club pride and spirit that we still manage to put a full side on the field and pay our opposition the respect of providing them with a competitive match regardless of what the final outcome on the scoreboard,” Dave said. On what was a glorious day for footy on the Monaro, the Belconnen Magpies came out determined to take control of the match from the start and build their percentage on the ladder as they head into the 2010 finals campaign. The Magpies were fast, direct and highly skillful from the opening bounce and quickly capitalized on the Cats’ vulnerabilities in the centre. They dominated the centre bounce and clearances and bombarded the Cats’ backline with repeated forays into their attacking 50. Again, as it has so often been the case this year, the Cats’ backs were at the forefront of the game with Stu Wood working tirelessly all day under constant pressure. He was ably assisted by Mal Green who improves with every game. One bright point for the Cats was the return of Mark Fitzgerald after almost three months on the sideline. Fitzgerald suffered a broken collarbone when the
two sides met back in their Round One clash. Fitzgerald’s return was a real boost to the Cats’ backline because of his strength and desire – but more importantly it was just great to see this great first year player get back on the track with an immediate impact after such a long break. Acting captain Jimmy Russell and wingman Mal Paterson battled hard all day in the midfield, along with Rob Brown and Greg Abrahamffy who was the Cats’ standout player, being considered the team’s ‘best on ground’ for a tireless display of determination and grit. With the Magpies building a massive score on the scoreboard, it would have been easy for the Cats to throw in the towel, but in front of a small be appreciative local crowd of dedicated supporters, they battled hard all day. For coach Damien Asanovski, who again pulled on the Number 29 jumper to get the numbers on the field, the game was all about the club’s overall ethos – that of playing footy for the pure love of the game. At each of the breaks, he praised his charges for their efforts and reminded them of the club’s mantra: have fun. With the coach’s words in their ears, they returned into the fray each quarter and continued to battle the best they could. And in the final quarter, that spirit and perseverance paid off when the Cats jumped on a sleeping Belconnen and kick three goals in as many minutes to their delight of their loyal fans and showed the Magpies that they were going to play the game out to the final siren. The Cats have two more games for Season 2010 – next week they travel to Cootamundra and then on Saturday August, 21 they are at home at Snowy Oval for the final game in what should be a highly entertaining season ending blockbuster with Eastlake. The sponsors’ awards for the day were: Capital-Dial-A-Pizza – Mark Fitzgerald; Shell Service Station - Greg Abrahamffy; Cooma’ Original Hot Bake – Jake Byrne; and Players’ Player – Rob Brown; and Supporters Award – Rob Brown.

A terrific effort which resulted in the team receiving the Under 10/11 runners-up trophy. This award follows on from their win in their age group at the Bega Carnival some weeks ago.

She was ably assisted by Caitlin King, who improved markedly with each game as the day went on. Tahlia and Akyra Stone, and Abigail Perkins played well above their skill level, and Rosie Garnock was a stolid defender all day. Keiarna Rodwell was also instrumental in defence, and Anna Horton was everywhere in her role as Centre. All in all a great team effort, and well deserved Runners-up in their division.

Coach: Tracy Glawson We had a great start to the day with a win against the Bombala 13’s team 12 - 8. Then we played Bega, followed by Merimbula losing to both teams, although they were more polished teams on the day we had some good passages of play in defence and attack. We then won against another Bega team 10 - 4 in a very exciting match with some great shooting by Aimee, Hayley and Casey and pocket rocket Kurt playing the position of centre kept the ball moving down court. Darcie and Chloe restricted the opposing shooters in the game, and with Laiken and Tanika playing on the wings did a wonderful job of supporting both attack and defence in our team. Unfortunately we then had to play another game straight after losing to Merimbula. It was a beautiful day, they all played well and I hope they had some fun as well. BOMBALA UNDER 13s Players: Tori Wilson, Dana Brownlie, Hannah Ingram, Tayla Mikula, Nikki Hepburn, Lauren King, Virginia Platts, Charlotte Platts Coaches: Jo Wilson, Robyn Perkins The Bombala 13s started off slowly, then came back into the games with some close scores.

Bowlers make most of the weather
Marshall takes Saturday comp Cooma golf with Max Turner
Olga Jebbink in action at Cooma Bowling Club on Sunday. The beautiful winter sunshine over the weekend attracted excellent fields to the Cooma Bowling Club on both Saturday and Sunday. Further matches were played in the mixed and handicap pairs and there were some great social matches. On Saturday there was one match in the mixed pairs and two in the handicap pairs with the winners in all three games finishing well to move into the next round of the competitions. Mario Frezza and Teresa Botto played a high standard match against Una and Colin Roberson in the mixed pairs. Frezza and Botto set the pace for most of the game but could never set up a match winning lead. The Robersons managed to stay in touch and when they drew level at 17 all after 18 ends the game was in for an exciting finish. Frezza and Botto, however, were able to assert their dominance and won the next two ends both by three shots to give them breathing space. They ended up winning 23 – 18. The two handicap pairs games played on Saturday were remarkably similar. Jason Thompson and Neil McGregor had to give Col Cottam and Stumpy Wallis five shots start but were soon back on level terms when they took 5 shots on the first end. The game then settled into a very tight struggle with Cottam and Wallis managing to just stay in front. After 17 ends the game was tied up at 18 all. Over the next four ends Thompson and McGregor turned the game on its head. They picked up 13 shots to race to a 31 – 18 match winning lead. They ran out winners 34 – 20. Bill McDonald and Paul Cannell also needed a strong finish to take their clash with Keith Goodwin and Geoff Venables. The two sides started the match on equal terms and the first 17 ends reflected this. The two sides were level pegging with Goodwin and Venables just ahead at 20 -18. McDonald and Cannell started their run on the 18th end. They won the next seven ends to finish over the top of their opponents. While the ends
were tightly contested they did enough to take the match 29 - 21. They proved too consistent over these critical ends and move into the semi finals as title favourites. The pattern of match winning finishes continued on Sunday with three mixed pairs games decided. Lola Wallis and Geoff Venables finished over the top of Maria and Sergio Roncelli. The first half of the game was very even. The Roncelli’s lead 11- 10 after 12 ends. Wallis and Venables won 7 of the last 9 ends to record a good win by 22 – 14. The defending champions, Peter Marsicano and Margherita Zasso, were in scintillating form and completely dominated their match against Renate Winckel (subbing for Mary Phillips) and Keith Goodwin. In the final match Olga Jebbink and Stumpy Wallis continued their good form to outplay Dot and Kevin Jackson. While the ends were tightly contested, Jebbink and Wallis were able to play the crucial bowl time and again. They won the first 8 ends to lead 11 – 0. The Jacksons started to win some ends but they could not score enough shots to seriously bridge the gap. Jebbink and Wallis moved into the next round with a 23 – 10 win. This weekend there will be two mixed pairs matches and one handicap match played. On Saturday Lola Wallis and Geoff Venables will play Leonie Snell and Jim Fletcher. Fletcher will be in action again on Sunday when he teams with Ron Wainwright in the handicap pairs against Jason Thompson and Neil McGregor. The other game to be played on Sunday will be a very important mixed pairs clash between Mario Frezza and Teresa Botto and Peter Marsicano and Margherita Zasso. There will be plenty of space on the greens for social bowlers on both days. With the weather warming up and the greens in good nick it is a good way to spend an afternoon.
Jim Fletcher has two important games this weekend.

A large field of golfers competed in Saturday’s August round of the Monthly Medal Stroke Competition. Saturday’s golf was played on frosty greens after a savage early morning frost.

much sand remained in both the bunkers after he completed the hole, the player was not the talented Marty Gelling. Tony (Team) Monday was at his best on Sunday, winning the Single Stableford with an excellent round of 40 pts, Tony edged out Jeff Burgess on a count back to win, Jeff was the recipient of the runners-up prize for his equally fine round of 40 pts.

Stallions record hattrick at Tathra With a major semi final spot on the line the Cooma Club travelled to Tathra on Sunday. Knowing a defeat would put their possibility back into either second or third spot and have no hometown advantage of a major semi final. Early in the first half Cooma although looking the stronger and fitter side, could not put Tathra away and at the drinks break went to the sheds leading 12 points to six courtesy of tries to Clay Stewart and captain coach Donald, both converted by Moon. The halftime talk was all about shutting down the ball carrier late in the tackle count and to show a lot more dominance in both attack and defence. The second half was a completely different effort with Cooma running with a number of tries with several scored from long distance. The Cooma forwards are really starting to click into gear and they are lead very strongly by Jono Clarke, Bottom, Bruce, Clay while ‘Evergreen’ Russell plays with heaps of passion, direction and encouragement. The Cooma backs had plenty of ground to cover when breaks were made and winger Nick Moon was excellent while Salvestro, Stokes and Ingram played sharp football. A few injuries came out of the game with winger Mark Kelly and half Lochie Schofield in need of therapy. This was an excellent win away by the firsts and they
are certainly playing well enough to give the title a good backline moves, powerful forwards dominance and A1 shake. Captain coach Donald well and truly gives over 100 kicking game by captain Zac Smith. percent each game and his encouragement is rubbing off Big front rower Ryan Stokes improves each week as at the business end of the season. he gets fitter and was well supported by Bodycott-Pielle, Turner, and Byrnes while young Andrew Jones does not Reserves know a backward step. Under 18’s centre Jackson again Cooma reserves took a while to get into scoring against shone while half Tredigo, Pepper fullback Lynch and winger a well depleted Tathra side and coped a good spray from Sutcliffe excelled.
