Male, dob 1/2/04 Kelpie/Basenji X Benji is a lovely quiet dog who was abandoned by his owner after 8 years of loyalty. He has a lovely quiet nature, loves kids and gets on well with other dogs, poultry and horses. Benji is very obedient, walks well on or off leash and loves to play fetch. He is a fit and healthy boy whose exercise requirements are moderate. Benji has lived his life in the company of another dog and would be best re-housed in an environment with another dog or a human who can spend time with him.

Member for Monaro John Barilaro has announced that the Jindabyne Chamber of Commerce will receive funding for the construction of a new link of the Jindabyne Shared Trail under the NSW Government’s Community Building Partnership program.

The funding will allow for the construction of a shared use trail known as the ‘Coppertom Link’ that will be suitable for walkers and bikers. This trail will be located between Jindabyne Dam Wall and Jindabyne township. “The new trail is an important linkage to the existing Shared Trail Network and a critical part of an overall plan to construct a world class tourism trail around Lake Jindabyne,� Mr Barilaro said. “The funding will enable the excavation of an approved route

and the fabrication and installation of three steel bridges.� Mr Barilaro said. “The provision of the new link will help our overall strategy of diversifying the tourism products available in Jindabyne and help in attracting more visitors to the region,�

The projects form part of $300,000 worth of funding for community projects in the Monaro electorate, part of $35 million for 1424 community projects throughout the state. “This funding represents the delivery of another election commitment from the NSW Liberals & Nationals Government to renovate community infrastructure across the State,� Mr Barilaro said.

Full steam ahead for learning centre Snowy Hydro Ltd (SHL) and Cooma-Monaro Shire Council have formalised SHL’s leasing of the former Business Enterprise centre in Bombala Street, Cooma, to create a local learning centre.

A development Application to convert the building was approved at a special meeting of council on Tuesday, August 7.

The next day, SHL CEO Terry Charlton and mayor Dean Lynch shook hands and the approved DA was presented to SHL. SHL plans to have its first intake of students at the centre for first semester 2013, but is planning an open day late in October or early November to explain what tertiary courses will be available at the centre and how the centre will work.

Internal modifications will be made to part of the building to accommodate technology and study areas, while the exterior will have a new undercover

area.This type of learning centre is the first of its type and mayor Lynch said other local councils had been in contact, asking for more detail.

There has also been significant interest from a number of universities looking to offer distance education in this area.

Within a year, SHL intends to have high speed fibre optic cable connecting the centre with Bega to cope with the speed needed for remote access to real-time lectures, plus other downloads.

Mr Charlton said changing studying practices have made distance education more suitable for many.

He said the learning centre will be a great assistance to SHL in attracting employees to town, as it will offer tertiary learning opportunities for employee’s spouses and children, thereby increasing retention rate in the town.As well, some of the

Geoff calls it a day after 46 years!

Geoff Venables left school in 1966 and thanks to his brother-in-law, who found him the position, walked straight into a job as a clerical assistant with the Post Master General’s (PMG – later to become Telecom and then Telstra) department at the Telephone Exchange in Massie Street, Cooma.

“I remember the day I started.” Mr Venables mused. “It was August 8, 1966!”

He continued with his clerical work until 1971 when he was encouraged by his supervisor, Ron Horner, to transfer across to the technical side of things which required him to do tech training in North Sydney and Annandale but he did all of his hands-on work in Cooma, working with PABX systems etc, with a couple of short stints in Picton and Goulburn.

On finishing his training in 1972 he spent a lot of time working around the Alpine areas.

“Fortunately it was mostly indoors!”

But even that could be a problem. Like the time Mr Venables and colleague Chris Walsh got into Perisher at 9am on a clear fine morning on the Friday of the June long weekend to spend the day working in the Perisher Centre. They walked out again at 4.30pm to find their cars buried under 2½ feet of snow.

Mr Venables’ two-wheel-drive Toyota Camry had to be towed to the car park that led to the main road and the one-hour trip back to Cooma took two.

As a technician, Mr Venables worked with a great team and during the 70s and 80s he spent his time on the job with Chris Jux, Billy Jenkins, Col Coventry and Mick Burgess who were very helpful and he would like them to know how much he appreciated

their assistance.

Mr Venables also put in a lot of hours working on the telephone systems at SMEC, Cooma Gaol and a number of other larger places around Cooma and the snow resorts. He spent a lot of time crawling around in ceiling spaces and under floors and soon got used to crawling around with the “crawlies” except on the occasion of one domestic residence in Nimmitabel.

“The owner said ‘If you intend to go under the house, just be careful of the tiger snake.’ and I said ‘Well in that case, I don’t intend to go under the house!’”

It was a hazard of the job however, like the time he opened a cable pit on Jerangle Road not so long ago. It was half full of water and when he reached in to grab the cable, which was visible just above the water, the “cable” moved. It was a small black snake.

Mr Venables has seen a lot of changes in technology during his time with Telstra, especially from mechanical to digital, and says the jumps in technology have been mindboggling. But he really enjoyed his work and says the only thing he will miss, now that he has retired, is the cold and the driving.

Meanwhile, he has rediscovered a few interests that had fallen by the wayside during his long career; mainly his golf clubs, lawn bowls and his fishing rods and has already been out for some fishing!

“I’ll just keep them all on hand” he added “because I should have the time now to get back into all those things, but no doubt friends and the rellies will still find work for me to do!”

Neen Pendergast, OAM steps down After serving on the Snowy River Shire Council for twenty three and a half years, Jindabyne resident Councillor Neen Pendergast OAM will not stand for re-election during the coming local government elections in September.

Councillor Pendergast, known as Neen to the Jindabyne community, was elected at a by-election in 1989 when the seat on council was contested by three candidates including Bruce Marshall, Mick Shanahan and herself.

By the 2008 elections, the interest in standing for Council increased to nine candidates.

When asked why she stood for Council in the first place, Neen responded “I wanted to do something for the old people in the town, and help those people who couldn’t help themselves.” A wish based on her views formulated after attending Council meetings for a number of years.

A number of improvements in the Shire were achieved during her time in office. The one which stands out is the Snowy River Information Office in Jindabyne.

The Council had always been earmarked the land for the Information Office but it wasn’t going to happen.

So Neen facilitated a meeting in her lounge room, between the then Shire President Ken Prendergast, Peter Beer, Ross McKinney of the NPWS, and Gary Hugget, to discuss the matter with t it. t iit et e get ge t we can g it, ant iit want u w ou You the eventual result being the present P L AY structure.

N N I I W W O R N NO E E R O TO S ST

O FFICE

The community-based construction of the Jindabyne Bike Path is the second best thing that happened in Jindabyne.

The Council recently effected repairs to the Path which resulted from rising waters of Lake Jindabyne last February. Other achievements by the Shire Council included the Snowy River Shire Hostel at Berridale; the water supply from the Lake Eucumbene rather than a creek, for Adaminaby and the Berridale water supply.

On behalf of the electorate, Neen served on a number of committees. She served on the Kosciuszko National Advisory Committee for six years – a position she loved and through it, went to many great places.

She will remain on the Dalgety Women’s Day Committee.

In line with her desire to better the care for the older people, Neen served for seventeen years on the Sir William Hudson Nursing Home in Cooma.

She would like to have seen the Super Clinic completed however she is sure it will happen. Neen has been lobbying for a number of years for improved health services, As to the future, Neen said “I will bat on the same as I always have

been.” She plans to read a few books, a recreational opportunity denied because of the council literature took priority.

In retirement, Neen intends to stay in town and see what happens – she won’t be moving out. Neen thought that there was a lot of changes in Jindabyne during the past 20-odd years, not everything good, but mostly for the better.

For the future council: “It is important” said Neen “to have younger people with fresh ideas and energy. I hope that at least

one woman will stand for Council.”

As a woman, she was never made to feel an outsider, there was no discrimination and the male councillors treated her well. Her advice to anyone intending to standing for Council is that “They must have the support of a partner otherwise fulfilling the role of a councillor will be very difficult.”

After the 23-plus years on Snowy River Shire Council, Neen is sad to be walking away, adding “it has been my life.”

Look good, feel better!

People battling cancer have to face more than just fighting the disease.

There are also the side effects as a result of the treatments and two of the most traumatic are hair loss and changes to skin condition.

Both are very stressful and can be difficult for cancer patients to have to deal with on top of trying to come to terms with the disease itself but fortunately help is at hand.

Look Good…Feel Better is a free community service program which focuses on offering assistance to people dealing with the appearancerelated side effects of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and the impact these treatments have on cancer patients, especially on their hair and skin.

The aim of the program is to help cancer patients to cope with the changes in their appearance as a result of treatment and to help them discover better ways to deal with them. It goes a long way towards helping them to look better, which helps in recovering their self-image as well.

“The program is dedicated to showing cancer patients how to camouflage appearance related issues.” NSW/ACT Program Manager Joanne Meehan explained. “It’s a fun, informative pampering session that is all about having a good time and feeling good about themselves.”

The program achieves this via the use of skin care, make-up, hats, turbans and wigs and the two and a half hour workshop covers all the bases.

“We would like the community to be aware that the program has been running in Cooma for eight years now and that it is a free service available to all cancer patients, male or female, and for any type of cancer treatment.

We would really like to encourage people to take part in the sessions.”

Ms Meehan added.

Look Good…Feel Better welcomes all people dealing with the effects of cancer treatments to come along and relax and start to Look Good and Feel Better! You can register at www.lgfb. org.au or via free call to 1800 650 960.

Meals on wheels roster the

postman calls

The Postman never ceases to be amazed by the idiotic actions of people, especially so-called public servants.

Take for example the matter of a local trying to renew a passport, a relatively simple, straight-forward process, one would think.

But no – bureaucracy has to fiddle in this, making an easy process almost impossible.

The local, after jumping through the hoops put in their way, was eventually advised their passport was ready.

Wonderful, they thought. Until the telephone conversation which went something like this: “We would like to advise you that your passport is ready for collection.

“Great, what’s the address and I’ll come by and get it?”

“I can’t give you the address, that would be a breach of privacy” “Then how am I supposed to collect my passport if you won’t tell me where I can collect it from” “I’m sorry, I can’t give you that information, it’s a breach of privacy”.

“Get me your supervisor, please…”.

The Postman is awaiting the update from the passport holder.

But this is just like many small business people’s dealing with the tax office. Apart from the amount of time callers are normally left on hold (up to an hour is the record we know of so far), there is the problem of speaking with someone who can help and is prepared to do so.

Unfortunately the ATO doesn’t have a local office where one can have a face-toface chat with someone. That, too, might be a breach of privacy…

Now the Olympics are over, can we be spared the amazing egos of some of the so-called ‘superstars’? Enough, please.

Riposte Lisa Ashurst What has happened to our milk? I’m only asking because it occurred to me the other day that I haven’t seen a thick layer of cream in a bottle of milk in a long, long time and can’t help wondering why that is?

I definitely remember a coupe of inches of cream sitting at the top of the bottle when I was a small child and my mother would sometimes scoop some out to put in her coffee.

Usually though we’d just shake the bottle to mix the cream into the milk; milk that just happened to be thicker and richer anyway now that I come to think of it…

I don’t think it’s the change from glass bottles to plastic and cardboard that’s done it as a delicious layer of cream can develop regardless of the packaging. So what’s happened to the cream?

Is it being skimmed off before bottling or is it just not there anymore? Rumour has it that the milk we buy these days is watered down, which is probably illegal or something, but why would anyone want to do that?

But it could be true, as milk tastes a bit bland these days as well. But why fiddle with something that was just fine to begin with?

Milk is, or at least it used to be anyway, a healthy natural drink from a natural source and if anything, the cream on the top

was a bonus, not a health issue.

People drank a lot of it without getting fat. It was also tasty but something has gone very wrong and what comes in a plastic bottle or carton today is a poor substitute really for the genuine stuff of yesteryear. So what happened?

Figuring it was probably a production issue, I mentioned it to a good friend of mine who just happens to be a very qualified professional in areas of health and medicine and her response was “It’s not what they are doing to the milk. It’s what they are doing to the cows.”

Now that was an eye-opener!

But as I mentioned, my friend is more in the know here than I am and if she says our commercial dairy cows are being fiddled with then I believe her and as soon as we get a chance to catch up for a coffee I will find out just what’s being done and WHY it’s being done to our cows and our milk!

You see, my issue with milk and with a lot of other things actually that “experts” insist on sticking their beaks into, is this; if it’s fine the way it is, why fiddle around with it?

Thick creamy tasty milk with a respectable layer of cream on top was just fine the way it was.

Watery tasteless milk is not and sorry, but that “Full Cream” label also raises questions marks with me because it’s not full cream in my opinion. Others may argue that but I remember real full cream milk and what’s being touted as such today just isn’t!

Trust me, I’m going to find out what’s going on.

Advice for winter cold and flu blues As many of us sniffle and cough our way through another winter, University of Sydney Professor Robert Booy, from the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance at Sydney Medical School has some advice about colds and flu: It is not just people’s perceptions that this year has been particularly bad for colds and flu. It has been the busiest year for hospital admissions, including to intensive care, for complications from flu infections for the last three years.

It is difficult to know exactly why it is worse this year. Every year we chase the virus as it continues to mutate and we try to adapt, reviewing what is in the flu vaccine each year in order to keep up with changes in the virus.

To prevent getting sick there are several straightforward measures you can take: • Don’t shake hands – a smile will do!

• Wash your hands regularly including after blowing your nose • If you have a minor sniffle it is OK to

soldier on at work but if you have major symptoms then go home and save your colleagues from possible infection • If you sneeze use a tissue and throw it away – if you are caught without a tissue or hankie then sneeze into the crook of your elbow.

Once you are sick with a suspected cold then rest and fluids are the best treatment.

There are at least a dozen viruses which cause colds and they are not treatable with an antibiotic.

If you suspect you have the flu, because for example a colleague was diagnosed by a GP, there is a specific antiviral treatment that can be provided by your GP. It is effective if you take it within the first couple of days of symptoms. Some symptoms of flu are sore muscles, headache, high fever and a very sore throat.

All bookings carry a non refundable booking deposit of $100.00. At the completion of your consultation, if you choose to proceed with treatment, we will deduct your $100.00 deposit from your first treatment cost. If you cancel 48 hours prior to your appointment or do not attend, your entire deposit is forfeited.

If your symptoms worsen, with for example shortness of breath, chest pain or yellow or green mucus then you may be getting pneumonia. You should see a GP as your viral infection might have become complicated with a bacterial infection which is treatable with an antibiotic.

Pneumonia is an infection of the smaller airways while bronchitis is an infection of the larger airways.

Regarding the flu vaccine, even if you don’t fall into the risk groups it is valuable to have a flu vaccine because you help form a ‘chain of protection’ <ww.chainofprotection. org> around those who are vulnerable.

At-risk groups for pneumonia and flu are people 65 or over and younger people with chronic medical conditions such as emphysema, kidney disease, diabetes and cancer.

For flu, pregnant women are also in the at-risk group and can get the flu vaccine for free.

Free seminar on Wills and Estates People on the Far South Coast will be able to access free information on making a will and other estate planning matters as part of Law Society of NSW Will Awareness Day 2012 later this month.

Around 60 free community seminars will be conducted throughout NSW on or around 17 August, including in Bega, Narooma, Cooma and Pambula on this year’s theme “Adult Children and Your Will”.

President of the Law Society of NSW, Justin Dowd, said choosing to write a will is one of the most important decisions you can make.

“Most people know they must provide for their spouse and any children who are young or dependent on them, but can overlook the need to make proper provision in their will for adult children,” Mr Dowd said.

“Parents who fail to properly provide for adult children in their will run the serious risk of a legal challenge, which can be extremely costly and time consuming for their families.

“It’s vital to seek legal advice so that all your personal and financial circumstances are taken into account

when you are making your will,” he said.

Free Will Awareness Day community seminars being held at the following venues in the Far South Coast region on Friday 17 August: • Peter Tierney, from PT Legal (Bega) speaking at 10.30am, Pambula-Merimbula Golf Club, 173 Arthur Kaine Drive, Pambula.

• Tom Michelsen from Kennedy & Cooke (Narooma) speaking at 11am, Narooma Golf Club, 1 Ballingalla Street, Narooma.

• David Griffiths from David Griffiths Lawyers (Bega), speaking at 11am, Club Bega, 82 Gipps Street, Bega.

• Joanne van der Plaat from Blaxland Mawson & Rose (Cooma), speaking at 3pm, Cooma Library, Vale Street, Cooma.

Mr Dowd said it is also essential to have a well prepared will. “It’s no longer just the super wealthy who have huge battles over wills,” Mr Dowd said.

“Dying without a will in place or having a badly prepared one can cause major stress and expense for those left behind, and has even been known to tear families apart. “The best way to avoid problems is to give some thought to what you own, and who needs to be provided for, and make sure that you revise your will if circumstances change,” he said.

Will Awareness Day 2012 will be officially launched on Friday 10 August with events in Gosford and Sydney, including expert panel discussions.

News from Dalgety Public School Georgia Heeley and Maddy Kirshner represented Dalgety Public School at this year’s Interschool ski races in Moguls, Alpine and SkierX. Both girls have successfully earned a place in the State Interschool’s Mogul Competition in August. Dalgety congratulates them and wishes them goodluck!

Students at Dalgety PS also had the opportunity during week two of this term to learn the processes of Narrative writing.

Judy Miller, a visiting teacher from Sydney ran workshops with staff and students. A creative learning time was had by all.

THE FAIRY Once upon a time the little rainbow fairy lived in a beautiful colourful garden.

One day a mean bug came into the garden and chased the fairy but the fairy got her magic out of her pocket and put a spell on the bug.

By Gem The annual Snowy River Festival must really come back to Dalgety because this great little location is certainly where it belongs and always has since it is right on the Snowy River is right next to Dalgety.

Location Dalgety is a tranquil country town with a caravan park, pub and café amply able to service such a grand event. You can stay in the pub/inn or you could bring along your caravan or even a tent.

Economy If the Snowy River Festival was in Dalgety lots of profit will be made by the local community; shops etcetera.

Dalgety doesn’t often get lots and lots of people coming so it would give Dalgety more money.

Competition At the Snowy River Festival there are lots of valuable prizes including money prizes, donated prizes from sponsors.

This event attracts hundreds of people.

Summing up The Snowy River would be perfect for the stockmen’s challenge for all these reasons. Why would you want it anywhere else?

Robert Shearer completes his new opera, “The Dark Side of Midnight”

On Saturday July 28, three opera singers, an award winning theatrical set designer and one of Australia’s most revered opera directors and choreographers made their way to Matt Charlesworth’s recording studio at Pacific Lodge to record the concept tracks of the new opera “The Dark Side of Midnight”.

For the past six months local composer, singer and teacher Robert Shearer has been working with the esteemed director and playwright, Tessa Bremner, on converting her play into an opera. Tessa Bremner’s play, “The Dark Side of Midnight” is set in the turbulent period of history after India gained independence from British rule and during the partition of India.

Tessa, who has been well acquainted with Benjamin Britten, Leonard Bernstein, Janet Baker and John Williams (guitarist) as well as other influential musicians and educators, has been enthusiastic about the project since the beginning. Both Tessa and Robert were ecstatic to finally hear their work performed for the first time. Robert commented, “There was a magical moment during the final minutes of act two where both Tessa and I felt this enormous wash of emotion, the music, the drama, the voices and the people. It suddenly hit us that this was merely the start of the real journey. Composing it was only the beginning, but there is such life in this project.”

Throughout the day Ian McDonald, designer, photographed the proceedings and documented various aspects of the day. The singers, Pamela Andrews, Jessica Harper and Elizabeth Shearer, came to Cooma from various parts of Australia and were very much impressed by the facilities that the town and Matt Charlesworth could offer. Conductor Rodney Clancy also came to the recording, offering ideas on orchestral expression.

The next step, according to Robert, will be to gain funding to produce the first staged performance and live recording.

At present, a theatre in Canberra has offered its facilities, but around $15,000 is required to pay for the sets, costumes, orchestra and performers.

Robert Shearer has been extremely busy this year. In June, a combined audience of over 550 people heard him perform at the Cooma production, “Gilbert and Sullivan Extravaganza” which he also directed. In July, he sang in “A Grand Concert” presented by the Snowy Monaro Arts Council. In this performance he sang two of his own compositions, “Orpheus” and “Now Sleeps the

Crimson Petal”. He is the artistic director for “Together To Remember”, a special musical event for Remembrance Day, coordinated by the SMAC. This performance will also feature a Robert Shearer composition, “Anthem for Doomed Youth”.

Robert’s musical talents are also in great demand outside of Cooma. Later this year, he has three major roles in Canberra productions as well as many performances planned for interstate.

Mature Mob at Burnima Homestead Meandering through the Monaro in the Bombala region is just what the Mature Mob did on Thursday August 2.

Forty-seven folk in two buses left the St Paul’s Carpark at 9am bound for historic Burnima Homestead where they were greeted by owner, Steve Rickett.

Steve ushered the group into the Servants’ Mess Hall for morning tea and then conducted tours of the grand Victorian building comprising 10 bedrooms, sitting room, formal dining room, study, reception, billiard room and servants quarters.

A delicious lunch, prepared by the Women of St Matthias Anglican Church, Bombala, awaited the group in the warmth of the Church Hall.

Brian Lock, a former employee of the NSW Department of Forestry in the area, met the group there and guided the buses to the restored Woolingubrah Inn, Cathcart.

The Inn was on the only track from the coast

(Tathra, Merimbula and Eden ports) to Monaro and beyond to Kiandra during the gold rush.

It was constructed of American Sugar Pine timber in 1861 and is probably only one of three such buildings still in existence in Australia.

Brian then took the group on a “bonus” trip to view the Bombala timber mill and construction of the new mill, before the trip home to Cooma via Old Bombala Road and a view of the old abattoir.

In summary, it was a great day of Fun, Fellowship and Friendship exploring the Monaro, was had by all passengers!

The next trip is to the Tulip Top Gardens and Old Parliament House Rose Gardens on Thursday October 4. Please contact Heather (Phone: 6454 4305) for bookings.

Snowy Mountains Arts Council Inc invite you to go along to St Paul’s Anglican Church Hall on Saturday August 25 to hear a brilliant performance by “Strange Weather Cospel Choir”.

Climate change meeting Climate change has both global and local impacts, and for the Monaro, these will include increases in heat-related extreme weather, including fire weather.

This is the message that internationally renowned climate scientist Dr Mike Raupach will deliver on Sunday August 19 at Bredbo Hall at a public meeting organised by Climate Action Monaro.

Dr Raupach says that climate change will also bring decreases in cold-weather events with the upward movement of the winter snowline by several hundred metres of elevation.

“Rainfall will probably decrease on the Monaro, especially in winter and spring,”

says Dr Raupach. “This will be accompanied by changes in both natural and managed ecosystems that follow from all these biophysical changes.”

Dr Raupach says the Monaro is not unique, however, as changes like this are being experienced worldwide.

“We can expect temperatures to rise anywhere from 2 to 4 degrees by 2100,” he says.

Dr Raupach says that at global, national and local levels, societies will face enormous challenges in adapting to what climate change is already inevitable.

“They will also face challenges in mitigating, or reducing, climate change to the greatest possible extent,” he says. “Mitigation

requires the large-scale uptake of a range of strategies including conservation, efficiency, renewable energy, CO2 sequestration and others.”

Just as important as the technical options are the social, cultural and psychological dimensions of transforming society to meet the challenges of climate change, according to Dr Raupach.

“We must try and avoid maladaptive responses, for example, escapism, deferral, or various forms of wishful thinking ranging from climate-change denialism to technological overoptimism.”

Public meeting: 3pm Sunday August 19, Bredbo Hall, Monaro Highway, Bredbo.

Junior Land care Challenge Yates and Junior Landcare have a longrunning partnership, based on the common vision to get kids excited about gardening, nature and their local environment.

The Yates Junior Landcare Challenge is an annual activity that has engaged over 120,000 kids through primary and secondary schools, youth groups, Scouts and Girl Guides groups, and their own families.

What is the challenge?

The 2012 Yates Junior Landcare Backyard Challenge will ask kids (aged 8-16 years) to enter a short video or photograph around the theme of “how does your backyard grow?”

The challenge will give kids the opportunity to teach other kids about their backyard and the environment in their local community.

Their ‘backyard’ could be anything from an outback farm, to a suburban veggie patch or an apartment balcony. Examples of the types of things we might expect to see: • A thriving herb garden that is used in the family’s cooking every day • A community garden where neighbours grow and share their produce • A garden that has been hit by floods and in the process of rehabilitation • A prized bed of roses that requires lots of maintenance and

Mimi mentioned bullying and it made me think of my own story. As a 13 year old I take much for granted, as do my peers. Yet even I have been a victim.

Blueberries are said to be full of antioxidants that improve your health. A diet high in blueberries is even claimed to counteract the effects of aging. While some gardeners will grow blueberries because of these healthgiving properties, most are likely to just want them because they taste so good.

There’s a blueberry to suit most climates. In the colder areas you can grow the deciduous lowbush or highbush types, whereas the ones that require fewer hours of chill – and therefore are the best choices for warmer areas are called rabbiteye (it’s said the fruits look a bit like a rabbit’s eyes shining out from the bush). For maximum cropping, it’s better to have more than one variety of rabbiteye blueberry.

Blueberries come from peat-filled acidic soils in their native northern hemisphere homelands so they tend to do well in areas where azaleas flourish. If your soil is a bit higher in pH and less acidic, it’s helpful to start by digging some pre-moistened peat moss into the soil before planting, or grow the plants in pots filled with an acidic mix. Try to avoid using manure, especially chicken or horse manure. Feed lightly in spring, summer and early autumn with some Acticote for Fruit, Citrus, Trees & Shrubs. Mulch with a layer of organic matter such as partially broken down autumn leaves.

This mimics the plants’ natural growing conditions in the forest.

Pruning of blueberries is not absolutely necessary, but light trimming can take place at almost any time during the growing season.

Heavier pruning should be done in late winter.

Flowers develop on the outer tips, so cutting back too often will reduce the crop.

Blueberry pests Insects pose few problems for blueberries.

Caterpillars can be controlled with Yates Success and sap suckers (thrips, aphids etc) with non-toxic Natrasoap Insect & Mite spray.

Birds are the major blueberry pest. You will find you are constantly in a race to get to the fruit before the birds steal it all. Hence, bird netting will probably be an essential during the cropping season.

Free native vegetation workshop Are you a land manager in the Michelago region?

Do you have native grassland or woodland vegetation on your property?

Would you like support and funding to help manage this native vegetation? If the answer is YES, then this opportunity is for you!

The Monaro Landscape Connectivity project team wants to work with land managers to improve the condition, extent and connectivity of native vegetation across the Monaro region, in the Murrumbidgee catchment.

They are keen to hear from land managers in the Cooma-Numeralla region who would like to become involved. The funding for this project is provided by the Australian Government’s Caring for Our Country program.

What is available to land managers?

Interested land managers will be invited to attend a free workshop on Friday August 24 in Michelago. The workshop will provide land managers with advice on how to improve the condition, extent and connectivity of native vegetation on their properties. Each person at the workshop will be provided with an aerial photograph of their property, to show the location of native vegetation in their area and help plan onground works.

Participants will also learn about Traditional (Indigenous) land management principles, and there will be opportunities to apply these practices at sites on individual properties.

Following the workshop, interested land managers can receive ongoing advice and support from the three partner organisations in the project: Kosciuszko to Coast, Murrumbidgee Landcare Inc, and the Murrumbidgee Catchment Management Authority (CMA).

Options available for land managers include a flora survey, development of a Management Plan, and advice on Indigenous land management.

Funding will also be offered, through an agreement with the Murrumbidgee CMA, to assist with the management of native vegetation through activities such as controlling environmental weeds, strategic livestock grazing, replanting of native species, and fencing.

Who is eligible to participate?

All land managers (public or private land) across the Monaro region within the Murrumbidgee catchment are eligible to participate.

At this stage, we are particularly seeking land managers in the Cooma-Numeralla region.

Opportunities for land managers in other areas across the Monaro region will follow over the next twelve months.

Preference for funding will be given to properties with patches of native woodland that are greater than 10 ha (or 5 ha for native grassland), and connected (within 1 km) to another area of native woodland or grassland. This connectivity is important as it allows native species to move between habitat areas for foraging and breeding.

How can I get involved?

Interested land managers can register for the workshop by returning a one page Expression of Interest, available to download at http://k2c.org. au/node/593 or by contacting Lauren Van Dyke (Kosciuszko to Coast Facilitator): facilitator@k2c. org.au, or 0411 402 978.

Please RSVP for the workshop at the very latest

by Thursday, August 23.

Beware of lovegrass fire threat The NSW Rural Fire Service (NSWRFS) has warned of the heightened potential for lovegrass fires in the localities north of Cooma and south of Dalgety.

“Lovegrass continues to dominate pastures in these localities due to rainfall received across the region during last summer and autumn. Winter frosts have cured the lovegrass and it is now ready to burn,” Fire Mitigation Officer Monaro Team, Fred Nichols, said.

Mr Nichols stressed, “Monaro landholders must be aware of the threat and the risks associated with burning lovegrass for agricultural and hazard reduction purposes.”

“When burning lovegrass, every landholder must ensure they are adequately prepared by having fire fighting equipment on hand such as a full knapsack, an operational spray pump and a plentiful water supply.”

“If burning lovegrass you are responsible for containing the fire to your property,” Mr Nichols said.

“Landowners are encouraged to contact the NSWRFS before they burn so we can advise them of the precautions they need to have in place. This includes making sure

your local brigade is aware of when you intend to burn, the size of the burn and location of the burn.”

The NSWRFS has the following advice for landowners to help protect their property from grass fires: • Put fire breaks in place around assets, as well as boundary fences where possible.

• Slashers and mowers are a major cause of fire, they must be used with extreme care now that lovegrass pastures are cured.

Avoid using them on windy days.

• Heavy grazing around all buildings and assets is a safe way to remove fuel.

Autumn through to winter is the time to put in place measures to prepare your property for the fire season.

Lovegrass fires pose a real threat to you and your neighbours as they start very easily and spread very rapidly. Establishing good containment lines prior to undertaking burns is essential.

Please consult with your Brigade Captain or one of your Monaro Fire Control Centres at Cooma, Berridale and Bombala (ph 6455 0455) before you burn.

Wealth Vs. Health

Too often we get so caught up in making money to survive, create a better life and secure our future that we forget about our health. But the most important thing in our lives is our health!

Why? Well itʼs not rocket science is it, without our health it does not matter how much money you have.

Without our health we cannot work to make money.

But health does not have to mean too sick to enjoy life and be productive it could just mean not feeling 100%.

Sadly too many people get used to feeling tired and become accustomed to living a mediocre life.

Without pure health we often lack peak energy and the mental clarity to build real wealth.

So how do we create pure health, peak energy, and a clear and focused mindset and be physically fit.

Well again it is not rocket science but we do have to take responsibility for our own life, donʼt we if we want the most out of it.

Below are some tips that will help you have more energy, lose weight, build your immune system and have a clear and focused mind.

One of the main reasons we can lack clarity, energy, and look and feel older then we are is acid, the acidic levels in our body are too high, due to the food we eat, the things we drink and the lack of movement.

Your liver has two main functions eliminate toxins from your body and burn fat, if it is too busy fighting toxins it cannot burn fat.

Below are 3 tips that will help you eliminate the acid in your body:1. Try to eat more one source foods, f like fruits, vegies, meat, grains, things that have not been manufactured.

2. Drink more water, but add alkaline drops to neutralise the acid. Avoid too much coffee and alcohol – moderation is the key.

3. Breath and move, just a light walk each day is better than nothing, but you need to breath all the way down to the bottom of your belly, use all your lungs.

Give these a try and you can have the health required to build and enjoy wealth.

I welcome you to give me a call on 0430 096 823 to see how you can secure your future and enjoy life with pure health with an education session.

Complimentary and obligation free, I love to help people…

Have a great day!

Regulations impeding animal health R & D A global survey of animal health product regulators shows that Australia’s regulatory system has become so slow and expensive that new products are simply not being registered in the Australian market.

According to Animal Health Alliance it now takes more than 70 percent longer to register a new livestock animal health product compared to five years ago.

AHA chief executive officer Peter Holdsworth said the cost of registering a new product had increased by 36 per cent over the last five years – more than anywhere else in the world.

“There are innovative products that farmers overseas, competing in the same trade markets as Australia have access to which Australia’s farmers do not,” he said.

“Our farmers are suffering because they know that new products – which they know have been presented to the regulator here in Australia and are anticipating the release of those products – are stuck in the regulatory system and there is no clear certainty of when they will come out.”

Mr Holdsworth said problems with the regulatory system for animal health products were a gaping hole in the government’s ability to deliver on its proposed National Food Plan.

“To deliver the food security and pay our bills around the world through trade in agricultural commodities, Australian farmers are going to need the most innovative products,” he said.

“R&D is dropping in Australia and the survey has found this is mostly because of the uncertainty in the regulatory

environment in Australia – then that’s not going to be “There are now dozens of products readily available to driving innovation or new products for Australian farmers farmers in New Zealand, the United States and Europe that to be competitive.

Australian farmers don’t have Mr Holdsworth said.

“Livestock producers are an integral part of the food Almost 90% of respondents to the survey cited Australia’s regulatory framework as a barrier to innovation.

The federal government is currently undertaking a series of reviews of the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority, focusing on its structure and funding.

According to Mr Holdsworth the draft Better Regulation Bill released by the government has caused major concerns among the industry, suggesting that once a product has been registered, chemical companies will need to present themselves on a cyclical basis to re-register.

“The concern is that in that through the re-registration process registrants may have to regenerate data which will be costly,” he said.

“There is a concern that a lot of companies will look at the cost involved in generating that data versus the size of the market in Australia and say it’s not worth the exercise.”

Mr Holdsworth said that when the Better Regulation Bill was drafted and a discussion paper was released, it showed that up to a third of products on the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority register may production supply chain, and they rely on animal health disappear through this re-registration process. “ products and technologies to remain productive and The impact will be that there will be less products on the competitive.” According to the AHA the average cost to market, that’s going to drive down competition and have register a new product has increased by 36% – more than the adverse effect of increasing the price of products for anywhere else in the world – to between $33 million and farmers.” $84 million, depending on the type of product.

Numbers are down but shearing is still big business The Australian flock is less than half the number of its golden era, but there are still millions of sheep to be shorn.

A combination of new sheds, with more sympathetic designs and a new generation of shearers are proving that one of the cornerstones of the rural economy is in safe hands.

There has been a flurry of activity recently on renovating and rebuilding shearing sheds and yards thanks to improved prices for wool, lamb and mutton.

Many involved in the industry say reinvestment in infrastructure is overdue, but like any investment in plant and equipment, renovating or rebuilding yards and sheds requires careful planning.

Especially when build costs may be up to $10,000 per stand for a new shearing shed and a decent set of bugle yards will cost upwards of $40,000. It is also important not to overlook occupational health and safety. In fact, OH&S is often one of the main drivers of improvements in these key areas of sheep

management.

As wages and conditions for shearers and shedhands have improved over time, so has the expectation their workplace will be a safe one, where risks are minimised.

If a complete rebuild is not on the cards, it’s not hard to make small improvements which will make shearing far more efficient.

One of the main bugbears for shearers is the flooring, or lack of it in some cases.

Uneven floors, missing boards, loose boards and rough patch-up jobs make life miserable for the shearer.

In terms of equipment, today’s shearer is pretty well self-sufficient and while the number of brands of gear such as handpieces, combs, cutters, grinders and wool presses has shrunk, there is still plenty of choice depending on budgets and factors such as the type of sheep and the conditions.

For fair dinkum shearers their gear selection is a personal choice. It’s all about feel and matching the gear to the style of shearing.

Last year, retired police officer Glenn Grumley moved to Cooma and bought Monaro Panel Beaters from his childhood friend, Edith Flanagan.

He wanted to get out of Sydney and needed ‘something to do’ after retiring and when this opportunity arose he thought it was right. Glenn has always had an interest in cars and been involved in pit crewing and various motor sports for many years.

Monaro Panel Beaters offer their customers a personal service, having had years of experience of dealing with the public as a police officer. You will still see Edith’s friendly face behind the front desk as well as foreman Alan Burt in the shop.

“I’m here for the long term and will endeavor to support the local business economy wherever possible,” Glenn said.

Monaro Panel Beaters are the preferred repairers for a number of insurance companies and they will fix all insurance work, replace windscreens, do restoration work, re-sprays, and they even provide a loan car or they will pick up and deliver your car for you.

“I can understand peoples’ passion for their cars, owning a number of them myself!” Glenn added.

Cooma men in state pennants First up Saturday Morning Cooma played Taren Point , all teams got off to a good start and at the half way mark were leading 39-33, Cooma relaxing into the game came out the winners 67 – 58 and winning two out of three rinks.

Gordon Cox feeling a bit frustrated at being the only skip to lose declared that the rest of the teams he met would pay for this.

In the afternoon it was West Tamworth proud as punch with their success through out the season, but they weren’t prepared for the stamina and determination of the mountain boys, and found themselves down in all three rinks.

Cooma winning 80 – 45. Coxies chest expanded now as he took his team to 34 – 7 win.

By this time all teams were gobsmacked at the standard Cooma was dishing up.

Sunday morning with both teams holding two wins each St John’s Park with a very polished and boisterous team of supporters faced up to fight out the semi-final position.

Cooma boys fought hard to to keep up and show their colours with only a small contingent of followers to push them along but unfortunately nothing turned to gold and St John’s Park were victorious 67 – 51.

Congratulation to Coxie, Doggie ,Buck and Peter who were still able to win their rink 26 – 16.

Well done fellows this was fine performance you did Cooma proud.

It was unfortunate as the ladder showed Cooma on top with 80 points well ahead but only missing out by one rink .

Berridale Tennis Club news This year our Annual General Meeting was held in the evening at the Snowy River Winery and was attended by 10 members who were joined by partners for a wonderful dinner following the meeting.

The Executive were re-elected unopposed (not to suggested that nobody else wanted the job), however our officer bearers for 2012/2013 are as follows: Robyn Reid – President, Bill Smits – Treasurer and Margie Wade – Secretary.

In her 8th successive report, Robyn gave a comprehensive round up of the state of tennis in our area, noting that our Monday morning social group continues to roll on, while Saturday afternoon and night tennis have suffered a bit due to cold weather and a lack of players. She acknowledged as role models, Roger Federer for his inspiration and sportsmanship and Lleyton Hewitt’s passion and tenacity. Australia needs to encourage young tennis players wherever possible and Berridale has one of the best facilities on the Monaro.

We bowed out of the Summer Comp in the semi finals against

stiff opposition but enjoyed some great tennis matches during the season. The Monaro Hardcourt Tennis Association may not run a comp this summer and if that is the case, Berridale may have to look to clubs in Delegate and the ACT to stimulate healthy competition in friendly tournaments as we do with the annual Berridale vs Rocky Plains social day.

As a small club, we are always looking at ways to raise funds for ongoing costs such as rates, electricity, insurance etc. Last year we were able to raise much needed funds from stalls at the Daffodil Fete and Lions Spring Fair as well as manning the gates at the Cooma Rodeo. This, together with a small government grant, has enabled our Club to purchase a new BBQ and carry out minor maintenance and improvements to our facilities.

On a sad note, we said farewell to two of our members, Rosie Crisp and Anne Hayes. These ladies were friends to us all and are sadly missed. Our sympathies go to their families.

(Paraphrased from President’s Report).

Local netballers successful with SERAS squad in Maitland The South East Regional Academy of Sport (SERAS) Netball Program sponsored by the Triple ‘M’ Group of Companies had a successful showing at the NIB Games held recently in Maitland.

Twelve players from across the SERAS region played 10 games against academies from within NSW. The team showed considerable strength and determination playing six games on the second day. The games bought SERAS two wins against Western Region and Far West.

SERAS was highly competitive in their losing matches and improved on each performance over the three days.

Goal shooters Brooke Gay, Ellen Went, Rebecca Richardson and Dayna Sims were accurate in the goal circle and capitalised on any opportunities created. Centre courters Laura Fletcher, Emma Redman, Tahlia Christofersen and Sam Law demonstrated their ability to affectively manoeuvre around

the court and deliver the ball safely into the goal circle.

Pressure defence over the three days from Katherine Pajuczok, Beth Dixon and Rachael Kobold slowed down the opposition and provided great support to the team. Bec Harris also travelled with the team but unfortunately injured her wrist on the first day.

The 2012 SERAS Netball program will conclude with a training day on Sunday August 19at the Australian Institute of Sport.

Pictured, Back Brooke Gay (Jerrabomberra); Rachael Kobold (Buckenbowra); Dayna Sims (Bungendore); Ellen Went (Kameruka); Bec Harris (Bungendore); and Katherine Pajuczok (Rockton).

QUICK CLUES SOLUTION

PREMIERS: An over confident Woden was smashed by the Tigers’ claws, even though they opened the scoring with a defiant strike from Stevie Lee. This shot surprised Bangweni, and happened early in the match. The game seemed even to start with, until the goal. Both teams came close to scoring giving the sensation that a goal was close. The magnificent goal by Stevie unleashed the fury of the Tigers.

Cooma went on to score three times before the first half had ended.

First Domenici put the ball in the net, four minutes after Stevie’s goal.

He lobbed a defender, and then lifted the ball over the goalkeeper. Then in the 23rd minute Castro in the centre of 18 yard box passed the ball to the left, and found Stephen who did not wait for the ball to touch the floor. Domenici struck a half volley past Collins, who was at full stretch, to the lower, far post.

In the 30th minute Castro received a pass from Domenici. Just like Domenici did 15 minutes earlier, Castro struck a half volley to the far post, but this time top left corner.

Woden responded well to the pressure. Bangweni contained a ball shot by Marlette. However, despite the goalkeeper’s efforts, the left-side lineman saw that the ball had crossed the line (though whether it did or not was doubtful) and awarded the goal to Woden.

In the second half Woden could not find the formula to contain the Tigers.

The team conceded four more goals and scored none. The Tigers were on fire. Domenici scored a hat trick in the 55th minute, reaching his 21st goal in 19 games. Then Oloriegbe surprised the GK with an elegant left foot strike in the 63rd minute. Collins managed to touch the ball with the top of the fingers but the power on the ball curled it into the goals, despite the touch.

Cattanach, who was persistent in trying to increase his goal scoring tally, came close many times. He was unsuccessful until the 74th minute, where he managed to strike a low grass cutter torpedo outside the 18 yard box that went under Collins’ body.

Robbie now has 12 goals under his belt.

Oloriegbe scored his 20th goal of the season in the 87th minute, giving Cooma a comfortable 7-2 victory.

The Tigers now have 70 goals for the season.

PATHWAY: Cooma started brilliantly.

The ball came off the woodwork several times, and Pete de Witte scored a goal early on to open the proceedings.

Due to the Tiger’s blistering start, it seemed an easy game for Klima’s wonder boys. But things soon turned sour for the team. The Tigers ended up chasing the draw until the last minute.

Woden not only came back from the one goal deficit, but overtook the Tigers 2-1. This lead lasted until the last minute of the game. Keegan Staff redeemed the Tigers, and levelled the scores at 2-all Cooma will have a tough game next week when they meet the leaders Canberra FC at Nijong.

UNDER 18s Cooma Tigers under 18 Premier League vs Woden played at Woden Park.

A very determined Tigers took to the field and completely dominated the first 30 minutes of the game, but as it has been all season placing the ball in the back of the opponents net still remains a problem for the Tigers.

The Woden attack carried the ball to the left of the Tigers half and their wingman placed the ball inside the Tigers eighteen only to strike one the Tigers defenders in the arm giving away a spot kick to Woden.

The kick was taken and although the Tigers keeper got his hands to it he was unable to keep it out of the net, this gave Woden a one nil lead.

This was a shock to the Tigers and they simply could not regroup for the rest of the first half, Woden taking full advantage of this managed to extend their lead to three nil.

After the break and a talk by the coach the Tigers took the field with confidence restored but still a little shaken, Woden again used this laps of concentration and managed to score yet another goal taking the lead to four nil.

The Tigers did wake up and started to play some very good football with short accurate passing but the goal remained elusive and at the final whistle the result remained Woden four Tigers nil.

Next week we host Canberra F C at Nijong, and this should be a very entertaining match.

Thredbo’s Top to Bottom 2012 The were snow conditions were spectacular for Thredbo’s annual “Top To Bottom” downhill race on Saturday August 11.

The sunshine, snow and slope grooming, all aligned to provide an excellent course for the 129 skiers and snowboarders.

With the fastest times overall were skiers Anton Grimus (1:14.47), followed by Tom Lewis (1:17.36) and then Lukas Huebel (1:18.05). The fastest female skiers were Sami Kennedy-Sim (1:21.30); Katya Crema (1:30.55); and Marie McGee (1:30.19).

In the Men’s Snowboard division Brian Duncan (1:45.90) took out first place; Peter Baff (1:54.90) second and Brendan Wholohan (1:56.89) third.

The Women’s Snowboard winner was Wiki Jones (1:4.88); Laura Williams (2:03.46) second and Maryanne Wachowicz (2:15.60) third.

The forerunners were Reggae Ellis (1:18.92), Stewart Diver and Adam Hosie of the Le Mans start race which began at the “Opera House” behind the top station of the Kosciuszko Express and finished in front of the Valley Terminal. Each racer wore an electronic device on a leg band and this provided accuracy in the timing of the results.

There was stiff competition in the Top to Bottom race which included Shadow Olympians, present and past Thredbo Ski Racing Club members in addition to Masters’ racers and recreational skiers.

18 women competed whilst amongst the 99 males who participated, the largest division was 33 skiers in the Veteran category (over 35 years) with that winner, Duncan Burns, timed at 1:25.88. This statistic goes to prove that older skiers do (not) go downhill slowly!

With podium results in Thredbo’s Top to Bottom Race men’s open skier division were Tom Lewis (2nd) Anton Grimus (1st) and Lukas Huebl (3rd)

Stallions prevail in last home game It was the Stallions last home game for the season and as usual the weather did not disappoint. It was also call to arms day and the guys wore yellow sock to help provide awareness for male cancer With an unfortunate forfeit from the Merimbula Ladies and Merimbula Reserve grade the first grade game kicked off at 4:30pm.

The guys have really struggled in the last couple of weeks but were determined to give their best for the last home game and in front of their loyal supporters.

It was a pretty tight match from the outset with both sides having chances but the Stallions were the first to score with David Sommerville crossing after good lead up work from the Coach. This was converted and the boys were lading 6 nil after 5 minutes.

A slight lapse in concentration saw Merimbula get a repeat set on the Stallions line and Clay Clear crashed under the posts over in typical fashion and with the conversion successful the match was now even a 6 all. The remainder of the first half was a seesawing affair with The captain Coach crossing but Merimbula scored twice going into the break 4 points up at 16 – 12 There must have been some motivation going on in the sheds as the boys came out in the second half determined to cut out their errors thus shutting down Merimbula, Pambula’s chances.

As the mistakes dried up the tries came with the Stallions scoring three unanswered tries through Mitchell Lynch, Jake Schofield and Phil Johnson giving Cooma a 12 point buffer with 15 minutes to play.

However Merimbula were not done and a try from one of Cooma s mistakes had them back in the match with 10 minutes

on the clock. The Stallions seemed to lift their game at this stage and were determined to finish at home on a high and Brett Dorward and Adam Walters came to the rescue crossing for two more converted tires to take the final score to Cooma 42 – Merimbula Pambula Bombala 26.

There were many standouts on the day with Torin Findlow, Steven Russell the best while the Captain Coach, Chris Khouy was instrumental in setting up two tries while scoring one himself.

Next week is the last game of the regular season and we travel to Eden in all four grades.

The semis will follow and Cooma will definitely have the 18’s and ladies tag teams competing as they finished second and first respectively. The Stallions would like to thank all those that come along on Sunday and hope to see you travel to support the remaining teams through the semis as they try to bring home a trophy or two.

First Grade Supporting Call to Arms Fight For Cancer.

Under 18’s Supporting Call to Arms Fight For Cancer in last Saturdays game.

Cooma bowlers busy with rep games Players away on representative duty coupled with poor weather left only eight hardy souls for social bowls on Saturday.

Ken Bowden and Brain Seears won the first six ends against Ron Wainwright and Paul Cannell and had a 12/0 advantage before the latter pair got started. Good scoring over the next 13 ends by Ron and Paul saw the scores locked at 17/17.

It was anyone’s game in the run home with Ron and Paul winning 22/21.

Max Povey and visitor Graham Vale had an interesting match for the early eight ends against Mike Mannille and Keith Goodwin.

Mike and Keith won the first four ends then lost the next four and won three and lost two to trail 8/10. At that point Max and Graham dominated for six ends to stretch their lead to 21/10. In outscoring 10 shots to five over

the final six ends Mike and Keith were able to reduce the deficit but victory went to Max and Graham 26/20.

Last Wednesday Leonie Snell and Nelson Wallace played their mixed pairs match against Gwen Caldwell and Jim Lumsden.

Leonie and Nelson were going along nicely for six ends when Gwen and Jim scored six shots on end seven to lead 9/8.

Their joy was short lived as Leonie and Nelson puts shots on the card and by end 14 held a 26/13 lead. Gwen and Jim outscored Leonie and Nelson in the run home but had given too much start with Leonie and Nelson winning 31/21 to move to the second round where they will meet the winners of M and G D’Amico v M Frezza and T Botto.

Only nine social bowlers on Sunday with John Vincent and Richard Nichols being clear

winners over Ron Wainwright and Geoff Venables.

Keith Goodwin as swinging lead for Jim Lumsden and Paul Cannell against Colin Roberson ad Nelson Wallace with a win to Jim and Paul.

This was a slightly disorganised day as some players who had indicated on Saturday that they would play Sunday but did not arrive by start time.

Please players if you have indicated you will play and then decide not to, ring the club and let the bowls organisers know.

Our players in state playoffs on the coast had mixed results.

Peter Marsicano in senior singles lost 18/31, Peter Caldwell in state presidents reserve won 31/25, Gordon Cox in state reserve singles lost 26/31. In senior pairs Laurie Whitehead and Dave McDonald lost 15/20.

Cooma Ladies Golf Last Wednesday’s 9 hole stableford attracted quite a large field. The winner was Aileen Smith who had 19 points. She played good, consistent golf scoring well on all holes.

The runner-up was Dorothy Bilbow with 18 points.

Dorothy also had NTP second shot on the 4th. Balls were won by Clare Nowland, 16 points, and Maureen Fletcher, 12 points on a countback.

Two ladies participated

in the 18 hole medley and Akiko Tamura played very well to win her division with 37 points.

Congratulations!

A bitterly cold Saturday did not entice many ladies to play in the 18 hole event.

However, a small group took to the fairways and two managed to handle the conditions well.

The winner was Marion Burke with 34 points.

She scored well on many of the holes due

to excellent fairway play, sound approaching and putting. Lorraine McGregor also had a solid game with a number of pars being achieved.

Coming up: Wed, 15th – 18 hole stroke CS Vets; Sat, 18th – Round 1 Phinn Trophy 18 hole stroke; Sun, 19th – Round 2 Phinn Trophy.

See you on the course!

Cooma Colts preparing for last round of season U8 Another great effort by the Under 8s against Woden Rams who were a much more experienced and fancied team. Again defence was outstanding, moving up in a straight line and putting their ball runners with numbers in each tackle. Our attack too was great but with the team tiring towards the end it was hard to make a lot of ground, although they all tried valiantly.

Barrett continued his strong surging runs from previous weeks, making good metres.

Brock ran as hard as ever, taking a few knocks but kept getting up and playing on.

Lachlan played strongly again with good long runs through the middle as well as some excellent cover defence. Talon was highly involved, most impressive was his front on and cover defence. Marcus only had a few opportunities before leaving the field with an arm injury, but managed a few good runs up the middle. Adam was busy as usual, picking up any loose ball..Kayla led the way in defence as always, getting off the line quickly and shutting down the runners before they get some steam up. James also made some strong runs through the middle and out wide, making good gains. Kristian was great out of dummy half, scoring our only try. Jake also had limited opportunities but ran strongly and was keen as ever.

McDonalds Awards went to Brock, Lachlan, Adam and Barrett. Player’s Player was Kristian.

U9 This week a big thanks goes out to the West Belconnen team who lent us two players to make up the numbers and let the boys have a game. Hudson Laird was busy all day running the ball up and making a truck load of tackles. Darcy Clark received the 3 points this week and no one was sure where he has been hiding all season as he

was unstoppable. Clint Filtness was also on fire, finally yelling loud enough to get the ball out to him and making a brilliant try saving tackle. Clint received the 2 points for his efforts. Lachlan McGufficke got 1 point and was as consistent as ever. Jesse Eljuga and Jake Galvin were also in the mix and unlucky not to get points this week. Jesse made the tackle of the season and Jake had some good sideline runs and his efforts in defence were outstanding. Ryan Harmer did well to get up and dust himself off after a big defensive effort and Bevan Tidboald and Braith Fitzgerald also joined in to make valuable metres in attack. Daniel Watts also showed what he can do when he straightens up in attack. The boys should be extremely proud of their team effort as it was the best game they have put together all season. The 6-46 score line really didn’t reflect the quality of the game.

U10 - BYE U12 The 12s played Queanbeyan United losing the game 22-12.

The boys started off very slowly with Queanbeyan scoring two quick tries in the first 10 minutes of the game.

Bill Zammit again found the try line twice this week, and James Cahill scored a try as well. The boys did try their best throughout the whole game but Queanbeyan United was the better team on the day, scoring a few more tries leaving the game 22-12.

Medal went to James Cahill, Maccas to Cooper Swan and Gatorade bag to Bill Zammit.

U13 The Under 13s travelled to Canberra to play Tuggeranong Buffalos. The boys are starting to hit a bit of form at the right end of the season. The boys won 52 nil with 11 minutes still remaining on the clock. Great

defence by Carson Barrett, Zac Saddler, Blake Thomas, Will Shingles, Kane TrentSmith and James Walker all prevented Tuggeranong from scoring. This gave our back line plenty of opportunities to score some great tries out wide.

Good service through Charlie Allen to link up with backs, Jake Hedger, Patrick Connolly, Tim Gregory, Mathew Chelin and Declan Gregory saw the ball move along the back line opening up scoring opportunities.

Zac Saddler had a great day with his boot kicking 7 from 7 goals and scored 3 tries. Blake Thomas scored a hat trick and other tries were scored by Mathew Chelin, Charlie Allen and Carson Barrett. Player’s player went to Blake Thomas.

The boys have only one match game left (at home) until the semis start.

U14 The U14s took on the Goulburn Blue who are placed second on the ladder. The boys were switched on from the first whistle.

Coach reckons it was the best game of the season as the boys defended the best so far this season. A few penalties each way and dropped balls saw the whole team defend most of the game.

Jayden Walker pulled off the ‘Try of the Year’, Troy Freebody was unlucky to knock over the line and Tyler Fanning had a disallowed try. Damo, Charlie and Jayden had great attack whilst Isaac, Troy, Lachie and Tyler showed great defence. Dom McDonald had a blinder of a game – his best so far this season. The final score was 20-4.

U15 North Canberra Bears forfeited.

U16 The U16s got off to a cracking start against top of the table Woden Weston on Friday night for their last home game for the

Club.

Richard Bensley, Ben Bruce, Kurt Lomas, Ned McDonnell and Harry Sellars hit the Rams hard from the start and it was only a few minutes into the game before Thomas Cronan crossed the line, much to the joy of the Cooma supporters braving the cold and windy conditions. Josh Hogan converted and Cooma were on their way to entertain everyone as only they can.

Thomas scored again in the first half but was not to be outdone by his Raiders counterpart in Jack Williams, who also finished off a great passage of play from the Colts to leave the field at half time with Cooma ahead 16-6.

Cooma lost a little momentum early in the second half and let the Rams run in two tries but the Colts were not about to let them get away on the scoreboard. Dylan McCole-Wilson finished off another great passage of play from the Colts and Thomas chipped in with another try to level the score at 24 all.

Luke Johnson took the opportunity to kick a field goal and put the Colts back in front much to the relief of their supporters.

With only a few minutes on the clock and an unfortunate dropped ball by the Colts, the Rams crossed the line and converted to snatch the match from Cooma’s grasp, finishing with a 30-25 score in favour of the Rams.

Next Friday the U16s will travel to West Belconnen to take on the Belconnen United Sharks for their last game of the season and their last game for the Club that some of them have been playing with over the last 12 years. We wish them all the best.

REMINDER – Saturday September 22 at Coffey’s Hotel, AGM at 11am and barbecue presentation at 12.30pm.

Red Devils juniors post some good wins Under 10s The under 10s travelled to Jindabyne for their last away game for this season.

The Piglets started strongly and caught the Cooma boys by surprise with two quick converted tries. Cooma regrouped with some good attacking phases prior to half time. The Jindabyne defence held firm and Cooma went to half time without troubling the scoreboard. If only the Red Devils had eaten the oranges before the start of the game as the second half was a different affair. Damon scored a great try soon afterwards, converted by Daniel.

Jindabyne struck back with two more tries. Harry made a good blindside run to score. Bentley was unlucky to step over the sideline after a strong run from the kickoff. Cooma won a scrum soon after and Russ kicked into the clear which was gathered by Daniel who went over for a try. Once again the forwards did a great job in the scrums with several being won against the feed. Points this week Damon 3, Harry 2, Daniel 1. Well done everyone.

Under 11s This week the under 11 Devils proved to themselves that they can match it with the top teams. They took on Eddies at home in front of a supportive crowd in the lead up to a great day of rugby at Rotary Oval.

The boys lead the whole game with the full time score being 29-10 in their favour.

With lots of fast running, cleaning out and always being hungry for the ball the boys dominated the entire games against the much fancied Eddies team.

3 points to Archie Allen and 2 points to Broc Allen. A great effort by all.

Under 12s The under 12s played St Eddies at home on Saturday, in a must win game for the Devils to keep their finals hopes alive, they turned up ready to play and defeated Eddies 38-27.

In freezing windy conditions the second placed Eddies would have been favoured to win, but again the Devils forwards were

dominant in both attack and defence and worked tirelessly at the breakdown.

Jess Sergo dragging three Eddie’s players over the try line, slipped a pass to Peter Tangye to score the first try five minutes in, the conversion by Dylan Van Gemert was successful.

Dylan extended the lead to 14-0 with a converted try of his own before Eddies hit back with two quick tries but failed to convert them.

The Devils steam rolled their way back up field again for Matt Swain to plant the ball under the posts with Jess converting to lead 21-10. Eddies ran in another try just before half time to make the score 21-15 to the Devils at the break.

Coach Peter was not happy with the number of missed tackles and led them in the team song to fire them up for the second half. This must have worked as Dylan scored his second try early in the half but the conversion was unsuccessful.

Eddies answered with a seven pointer of their own making the score 26-22 in the Devils favour, the next 10 minutes were very tense until Oscar Litchfield scored a runaway try, hurting his knee at the same time and had to leave the field. This gave the Devils some breathing room, until a devils penalty kick, which failed to find touch, handed Eddies the ball and a try.

31-27 to the Devils.

The Devils desperate for the win rallied and Jess Sergo put it beyond doubt with a try under the posts, the conversion by Dylan was successful. Final score 38-27.

3 points this week went to Dylan Van Gemert, 2 points each Ryan Bolton and Azzam Hudson, 1 point each James Cahill and Jess Sergo, Pig dog award went to Joe Rossiter .

Coach Peter Ingram was very happy they played real rugby but defence will need to improve to beat first placed Marist next week.

Under 16s Following a humiliating 67-10 loss to

Cooma’s Under 16s played good rugby against Marist. fourth placed Uni-Norths last week, the their opponents.Superb cover defence by Under 16s took on second placed Marist fullback Matt Cusbert prevented Marist Sky at Rotary Oval and were beaten 24- from scoring.

Red Devils to host Hall in eliminations this Saturday

The Cooma Red Devils travelled to Goulburn on Saturday to play the last round of the regular competition; with results deciding final finishing positions it was going to be a tough match for both sides in both grades.

Reserve grade took to the field with a chance of wrapping up the minor premiership with a victory but Goulburn had different plans and from the opening whistle it was Goulburn who came out and stepped into Cooma who for the early exchanges had to just weather the storm and start to build into the game.

Goulburn was the first to score after Cooma had held up Goulburn four times over the line. This strong defence was lead by Brett Jones, Pat Dorahy, Neil Schouten and Aron Rogers.

Cooma finally got their hands on the ball and with some strong runs from Gary Moore and Mark Fraser were able to get across the advantage line and at times Cooma were looking dangerous but silly mistakes made it hard for Cooma to build any momentum and to get into good field position.

Goulburn scored again before half time and went to the break leading 14-0.

Cooma came out in the second half and with a strong wind at their backs were looking to play field position and control the game but again it was Goulburn who from the kick off were able to score after Goulburn kicked ahead and were able to regain the ball and score.

This kicked Cooma into action and Cooma was able control the ball around the break down allowing Cooma to build pressure, Cooma then turned over the ball but from the Goulburn clearing kick Matt Gibbs was ruled to have charged down the ball and was able to run over for Cooma’s first try. Nathan Boate converted and this reduced the deficit but Goulburn extended the lead when they were able to kick a penalty goal.

Leading 24-7 Cooma was again able to reduce the margin and again it was Matt Gibbs who found the try line after some good work from the forwards Cooma switched the play and Nathan Boate found Adam Schofield out wide who turned the ball back inside for Gibbo to cross for his second, Boate again converted but that was as close as Cooma came to Goulburn and with no further points added Goulburn ran out victors 24-14.

Points in second grade 1 point Matt Gibbs, 2 points Brett

Jones, 3 points Pat Dorahy and players player was Brett Jones.

Matt Gibbs on the burst for Cooma.

First Grade First grade took to the field against Goulburn with five players backing up from second grade as Cooma travelled short due to a number of niggling injuries that had sidelined a number of key players.

Cooma was running with a strong wind at their backs in the first half and were looking to dominate field position through a strong kicking game and backing that up with effective defence but it was Goulburn who won the kicking game being able to kick to the sea gulls and hit the right areas more consistently than Cooma.

Cooma looked dangerous when they kept ball in hand and

Great representation for Cottontails Cup Cooma Golf report by Garry Atkinson Over the weekend Cooma golfers were treated to some special events with the Cottontails Cup at Federal Golf Club on Sunday, an individual stroke on Saturday and a stableford medley on Wednesday.

With more than 18 Cooma teams travelling to Federal Golf Club on Sunday no competition was held on the local course.

The Cottontails Cup trophy was won by Federal 13 matches to 5 so the coveted cup now returns to the Federal Trophy cabinet for the next six months until Cooma have an opportunity to regain the prize.

On Saturday August 11 an individual stroke was offered for members. A grade winner was Adam Robinson with 72 nett. In B grade Heikki Evans came up trumps with 74 nett and in C grade Gordon Weston scored 72 nett to top the pool.

Ball winners went down to that smooth swinger Mal Crockett with 75 nett. Nearest the pin on the ninth went to Andrew Jeffrey and on the 17th our winner was Mal Crockett. Longest drives went to Adam Robinson in A grade, Heikki Evans in B grade and David Abraham in C grade.

Wednesday’s medley stableford saw 39 golfers

do battle. Brian Searl continued his good form to take out A grade with 37 points from Brian Turner.

B grade was won by Greg Wyllie with 36 points on a countback from Richard Hanna and C grade was taken out by Akiko Tamura with 37 points from Neil Venables.

Ball winners went down to Bob Ashcroft with 34 points. There were no nearest the pins.

Next week sees another big week of golf. On Wednesday there is an individual stableford. On Saturday there is a single medley stableford and Sunday sees an individual stableford for members and guests but also the first round of the business house competition.

A new event is also coming along soon. The Friday afternoon nine-hole social competition will be starting up on September 7. You don’t need to be a member, nor have a handicap to play in this new competition but it will be a lot of fun.

A sheet is on the member’s noticeboard to place your name if interested. Members have a great opportunity to invite and play with new golfers who may wish to try the game.

Don’t miss this relaxing way to finish off the week.

with Will Nicholls making good metres up the middle of the field and being able to link up with inside runners it looked like Cooma was going to put it to Goulburn but it was again silly mistakes that allowed any momentum that was building to be released.

Goulburn was able to post first points for the afternoon when they scored out wide, the conversion was charged down when Curtis Watkins raced out and got his body in front of the kick.

Goulburn again posted another try just before half time to go to the break leading 12-0. Cooma came out in the second half and played a much more controlled half with the forwards going forward on the back of strong runs from Pat Egan, Chris De Rooy, Adam Schubert and Cody Henderson it was looking like Cooma was going to fight back but again Goulburn was able to capitalise on a mistake and score down the other end.

It was Cooma’s scrambling defence that was keeping Cooma in the game this was lead from Tim Casanova, Alex Moon, Tom McGuire and Matt Gibbs.

Cooma was able to hit back with a try of their own when Cooma was able to kick long put pressure on the fullback steal the ball and quick hands allowed Cooma to spread the ball and Ryan Morgan was able to outsprint the defence to the try line he then proceeded to converted his own try. Goulburn again replied with another try and a penalty goal to extend the lead but with five minutes to go Cooma decided to play some structured football and after a number of pick and drives at the line Cooma was able to spread the ball wide and Neil Schouten was able to cross out wide, Ryan Morgan converted and the game finished with Goulburn winning 27-14. Points in first grade, 1 point Aron Rogers, 2 points Tim Casanova, 3 points and player’s player Pat Egan.

Cooma now plays Hall in both grades in the first round of the finals. This will be played at Rotary Oval in Cooma on Saturday afternoon so we hope to see a large crowd for it’s the last time the Red Devils play in Cooma this year.

Second grade is playing for a grand final spot while it’s sudden death for first grade, so get down and support the Red Devils in their quest for glory.

Cats set for positive finish to a great year The Australian Hotel Cooma Cats will be keen to wrap up a successful season with a win over the Harman Hogs this Sunday at Snowy Oval.

Despite going down to the Goulburn Swans in Goulburn last weekend, Cooma Cats club president Dave Paterson was excited about the success of the team on the field throughout 2012.

For record, the Cooma 9-11-65 went down to the Swans 14-1296.

“We have had our best season in 20 years, and a win this weekend to finish the year will be a terrific bonus for the club,” Dave said.

The Cats defeated Harman in the first round clash in Canberra

earlier in the season, and on form, should be favourites to take home the points again.

However, Dave encouraged all Cats’ supporters to get down to Snowy Oval this Sunday to support the team.

“It would be great to see a big crowd come out and support the team this weekend,” Dave said.

“Our crowds have been disappointing this year - which is a little sad considering how well the team has been playing.

“So to have a good crowd for our final game of the season will be a real motivator for the boys and hopefully help them get over the line and finish the year with another win,” he said.

First bounce is at 2pm, Sunday, August 19.

See you on the course.

Bushpigs take out Call to Arms Cup The Jindabyne Bushpigs have finished the regular season competition in fine form after a dominant 57-0 display against the Crookwell Dogs.

Playing for the Call to Arms Cup and looking to build momentum into finals football, the Bushpigs gave their large local crowd something to cheer about posting eight tries.

It was a big day for the Jindabyne Rugby Union Club hosting its annual Call to Arms fundraiser. A large crowd gathered to John Connors Oval to see five games of rugby of which the home team won three of the five.

The day also included a ‘Bushpigs Sponsors Day’ which attracted a number of club sponsors who thoroughly enjoyed the corporate hospitality the club provided.

The JRUC wouldn’t be viable without their tremendous support.

Only missing Josh Shortland from its squad, the Bushpigs fielded its strongest line-up for the first time in a number of weeks, welcoming back James Barb Winter, Michael Bottom and Craig Dixon from injury.

The Bushpigs began the game with plenty of intent with five eight Jake Roarty controlling the game with precise kicking allowing the Bushpigs valuable field possession. As a result of his own good work, Roarty posted the first points of the game after finding space and running 30 metres to put the Bushpigs in front 7-0 after the 10 minute mark.

The Bushpigs continued to sustain pressure on the Dogs defence after a series

of barnstorming runs by Michael Needham and Matt Tripet . This allowed the Bushpigs to get a good roll on and the support play of Matt Fish, Taku Taiaroa and Ian Vagg in the

The Dogs ability to hold onto the ball was halted as the Bushpigs defence lead by hooker Daniel Josifovski gave them plenty to think about. As a result, plenty of ball was being coughed by the Dogs which allowed the Bushpigs to pick up the scraps to race away to a lead after further tries to Matthew Caldwell and Adrian Butters. Liam Pepper was a standout with damaging running and crucial try saving tackles at fullback to go with a very mature display from the young player who has found great form recently.

At the half time whistle the Bushpigs were comfortably leading 38-0.

The second half started much the same as

and Caldwell going in for a double. A number of position changes saw the return of veteran Bottom and the injection of Andrew Burke, Isaac Maw, Jeremy Witherdin and super sub Ben Beattie to the game.

The substitutes presence was felt with Burke making a number of crucial tackles and great clearance kicking, whilst Witherdin and Maw’s presence was felt through strong defence. Maw’s hardwork in the second stanza paid off as he scored his maiden try for 2012 to take him off that elusive nudie run at the seasons end.

The referee blew the final whistle with five minutes remaining in the spirit of the game as the Dogs were struggling to finish the game with a full squad.

Miss Piggies out muscled by Queanbeyan

There was a huge crowd out to support the Jindabyne Rugby Union Club for its annual “Call to Arms” fundraiser for Men’s Cancer last Saturday.

At 1:15pm the Miss Piggies faced up against a very solid looking Queanbeyan team where despite putting in a huge effort the Miss Piggies lost 42 - 7.

The Miss Piggies played well in the first half, dominating possession for the first 15 minutes and scoring an early try (scored by Kate

Brown, conversion by Tayla Stanford).

However, after countless bone crunching and terrifying encounters Queanbeyan started putting points on the board. The Miss Piggies put in a gallant effort over the 60 minutes but in the end they were out muscled by a very strong team.

The forwards shone in this game, putting their bodies on the line in tackles, often against much larger opponents.
