Sunday saw an open day for the Adaminaby Snowy Scheme Collection Museum.

The musuem, now almost complete, will eventually house former equipment used in the construction of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme.

Some of the main pieces were bought at a dispersal sale of equipment owned by Kennedy Brothers of Adaminaby in 2002.

Other bits and poeices have been donated, including equipment from the Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation and, most recently, a large collection of interest from Snowy

Hydro Limited.

Sunday’s open day allowed visitors to inspect the new building and hear of plans for the future.

Funds are still being raised to line and climatically control the west wing of the musuem to house some of the collection.

Former employees and supporters have the opportunity to buy paving bricks which form part of the display.

Organisers are now looking for original Snowy clothing, especially from overseas and original steel stretchers. Contact Frank Rodwell on 6452 1613 if you can help.

Rotary learns about RDASI Guest speaker for the meeting was Rotarian Ken Prendergast, chair of the Southern Inland Board of Regional Development Australia, assisted by Rotarian Monica Alcock, Deputy Chair.

The Board, consisting of 12 members, covers 14 Local Government areas from Bombala in the south to Wingecarribee, Boorowa and Upper Lachlan in the north, from the coast westwards to Tumut, Tumbarumba, Harden and Young.

There are 55 RDA Boards in Australia, 14 of them in NSW and funding is granted 50/50 by the Federal and State Governments.

Ken detailed his career from the beginning as a machinist draftsman to engineer, heading a packaging company in PNG, moving to the Monaro in 1986 and serving on the Snowy River Shire Council, Monaro Electricity and National Parks for a number of years.

The Board, with an office based in Queanbeyan, has four focus areas: transport, health, population and planning, and tourism.

Within those areas the board works on Film Pictured is Katrin Hackney, Cooma Rotary’s President Elect and Club South-East and advertising, processing of Service Director of the Cooma Rotary Club with Rotarians Monica Alcock Temporary Work Visas, running a broadband and Ken Prendergast. project, setting up a region of councils in the South-East, and developing a regional plan to Organisation.

Cooma Hospital now has topline electric beds Last Friday the Cooma Hospital was presented with the 16 new electric beds that had been on their wish list.

The Cooma Hospital Auxiliary along with the Cooma Ex-Service’s Club, the Cooma Lions Club and the Vietnam Veterans Federal Chapter all contributed money for the beds. The Lions gave $7270; the Vietnam Veterans $5000 and the remainder was donated by the club and the hard work of the Auxiliary.

Two of the beds will be dedicated to families who have made personal donations in memory of their loved ones.

Cooma Hospital now has 37 electronically operated beds, which means all of the beds in the hospital are electronic, not bad for a country hospital when Westmead in Sydney don’t even have this.

President of the Cooma Lions John Neilson said “The purchase of these new beds is in keeping with the high standard the community has come to expect from our hospital. Cooma Lions is proud to be able to help maintain this great facility.”

Jan Carpenter from the Auxiliary also mentioned that because the beds were purchased through the Auxiliary and are therefore ‘owned’ by them they cannot be moved elsewhere in the future and will remain the property of Cooma Hospital at all times.

five of which have been listed as vulnerable and another four on the declining species list.

Once the new work has been seeded with native grasses and ground covers it will become part of a fenced-off one hectare area of endangered Yellow Box woodland that will hopefully become a welcome habitat for native wildlife and it will be monitored to evaluate the recovery of species.

Funding for the Project has come through the Community Partnerships program distributed by the Murrumbidgee Catchment Management Authority (Murrumbidgee CMA) and the Bredbo Landcare Group are very pleased with the way the Project is progressing.

Think F res

The Bredbo Landcare Group has been busy with a number of works in progress throughout 2010 with the current one being the Gungoandra Gap Rehabilitation Project on Dennis and Sheila Mason’s property just north of Bredbo Village.

The object of the Project is to control a serious erosion problem and to prevent silt from finding its way into an unnamed waterway which flows into Colyers Creek which in turn flows into the Murrumbidgee River.

The solution was to create a dam across the gully, complete with rock-lined overflows to counter further erosion and to trap any silt that is washed down. Water will also be piped from the dam to fill stock troughs.

The area around the overflow will serve as a bird watch area and will be part of the project and it has already been established that 35 different species of birds are already visiting the area,

Police just doing their job Editor, After the comments in last week’s local papers and on the radio, it would seem profits and satisfying the personal enjoyment of our visitors has a far higher priority than road safety.

The Police are not to blame for what happened the other week in Jindabyne.

The Police are doing their job, protecting us from those rare few who threaten our safety: driving illegal vehicles; or driving without a licence; or driving whilst effected by alcohol or illegal drugs; etc.

These sociopathic villains are the people you should be pointing the finger of blame at, for without their illegal activity there would be no need for Random Breath Testing by the Police.

Yes, we all have to suffer some inconvenience whilst the Police weed out those few who threaten our safety, but what would you prefer inconvenience or organising the funeral for a family member killed in a traffic accident?

We seem to forget it is the Police who have to witness the bloody carnage caused by those who disrespect the laws established by the government we elect.

Having lived in this region for more than 20 years I have seen

the insane way some of the tourists drive when there are no Police within sight. I try to avoid driving on Friday afternoons and on Sunday’s because of the near misses I’ve witnessed on these days. In my experience the safest you can be on the local roads is when there is a marked Highway Patrol vehicle travelling in the same direction as you, as everyone complies with the road laws.

We as a society delegate responsibility for our safety to the Police. They have a hard and thankless job and often see disturbing things which will stay in their memory forever.

Honestly would you want to be a Police Officer? As such we should not be criticising the things they do for our safety, we should be supporting their efforts. So next time you are pulled over or are delayed by Random Breath Testing smile and thank the Police for identifying and removing those drivers who threaten your safety. The driver they have stopped may have been the one who was destined to kill you, your family or your friends.

Farmers question cloud-seeding

Gail Eastaway Tracy Frazer Narelle Allen

Editor, My answer is yes. Yes it is nice to have a good snow season, Cloud Seeding, do you believe that it is having an affect but it would be even nicer to be out of drought and the heavens on the rainfall in Cooma, Bombala, Ando, Bredbo all of the open up.

Monaro.

Can the scientists answer me and show us the statistics that My question is - just look at the rain this week over the State it doesn’t affect us down on the Monaro? and also in July, and August - there’s a little patch between Name supplied but withheld Cooma and Bombala below 10mm, in the Mountains 50100mm and over 100mm.

Does cloud seeding have an affect on the rainfall for the Monaro Farmers, is my question to Snowy Hydro.

Now that the dust has settled, Australia has a parliament which can be undone by the smallest of actions – someone dying, one of the Independents changing their minds, somebody crossing the floor, somebody getting a bit miffed........

If, and when, that happens, it’s back to the polls.

But before we ever have to elect a federal government again (or even a state one, really) we should be taking a long hard look at our electoral boundaries.

Blind Freddy can see there is very

liitle commonality across either Eden Monaro or Monaro. With so many voters in Queanbeyan now quasi-ACT residents, voters outside that city are severely discriminated against.

There simply aren’t enough rural voters to put some balance into the vote. Queanbeyan is a city.

It should become an electorate in its own right, or be added to Canberra or Goulburn.

The electoral boundaries across Australia should be reviewed and changed where necessary – that way voters in Woop Woop might get the same value for their vote as anyone living in a high-density

bit of Oz. Perhaps the new Minister for Regional Australia, Regional Development and Local Government, Simon Crean, might like to take this on board?

by Greg Lissaman and designed by Imogen Keen and features Chrissie Shaw.

Synopsis Nikki lived on an island in a lighthouse when she was a child.

Her father was Head Lighthouse Keeper, in the 1950s. In the present day, Nikki gets a lift in a helicopter to revisit her childhood home on a remote island off the mainland of Australia. The memories flood back, and we are swept along with Nikki, who with her sister Sally had the whole island as an adventure playground. With help from the children in the audience, Nikki recreates her island and her family’s hair-raising journey there. She relives the games she played with her sister, their exploration of all the island’s

nooks and crannies, and describes the family celebrations. She takes us up in the tower to explain some of the children’s special chores.

Through the eyes of the playful and adventurous Nikki, and the anxious Mrs. Ingram who blows in from 1910, young audiences experience the joys and hardships of living in a wild and remote place, where school is “just me and my sister with Mum in the kitchen” and the nearest shop is hundreds of kilometres away.

The experiences of Mrs. Ingram’s family, contrast sharply with those of Nikki’s, and Nikki’s childhood differs greatly from that of today’s Australian children. Nikki, revisiting her island, regrets that her old family home has been wrecked by vandals and the weather, but rejoices that the lighthouse, now automatically run, still sends its light out every night.

“We had such fun watching Chrissie jumping about, changing character and turning us into the rocks and the sea and the cliffs.”

Liz Barfoed, Executive Officer, ACT Preschool Education.

Leigh Stewart with his new, full-colour book. on Adaminaby’s history.

Local historian Leigh Stewart recently celebrated his 80th birthday.

While some 80-year-olds might just celebrate with a party, Leigh celebrated with the publication of his new book “Historic Adaminaby”.

This is the third book Leigh has published, but this is the first time in colour.

This 36-page publication details the life of one of Australia’s highest towns – its beginnings, its move to miss the waters of Lake Eucumbene and the 50th celebration of that move.

Its also details the re-emergence of parts of the old town from beneath the waters of the lake when water levels were at historical lows in 2006 – 2009.

The book is available for sale at Leigh’s Gallery in Adaminaby, Adaminaby Newsagency, Cooma Visitors Centre, Snowy Region Visitors Centre, Yarrangobilly Caves Information Centre, Tumut Information Centre and “Between the Lines” Bookshop, Tumut.

Wendy wins Edna Ryan Award

Lions Club looking for members

The Lions Club of Cooma is looking for new members.

The club celebrated its 50th anniversary earlier this year and was congratulated by the Cooma and district community for its long and valuable service.

To maintain its energy and capacity to continue serving the community, the Lions Club would like to meet men and women interested in becoming members.

President John Neilson said this week Lions Club members worked on many and varied projects involving members in worthwhile service, mixed with fun and good fellowship.

Members are encouraged to assist in running the club and to work on its projects according to their individual abilities and available time.

The club meets fortnightly at a dinner meeting.

Current club projects included the ninth edition of its large print local phone book, the provision of five new electric beds at Cooma Hospital, the new concrete pathway from Southern Cloud park towards Lambie Gorge, further work on the Aviation Pioneers Memorial and preparations for the coming Yamaga Sister City youth Exchange visit.

The club invites those wanting to learn more about Cooma Lions Club and possibly joining it, to come to a dinner meeting next Wednesday, September 22 or perhaps later.

All interested people will need to contact either Roger Toole on 0428 489 120 or John Neilson on 0418 643 008 by Monday night. There is a moderate dinner charge.

Plans for 2011 Cooma Show is talking about.

The committee is looking forward to an expanded junior judging program.

At its September meeting, the committee considered its membership fees and gate entry changes for 2011.

Membership fees will remain the same, at $20 per family (two adults and two children, plus a car pass); or $10 single (including car pass). Gate entries have increased slightly, to $10 per adult and $5 per child and $5 per vehicle. This makes becoming a member of the Cooma P & A very good sense. Memberships can be paid prior to the show and tickets sent out, so entry on showday is so much easier.

As well, membership paid prior to show day allows the P & A to pay for entertainment and necessities, such as insurance. For more information on becoming a member, contact the president Gail Eastaway on 0408 930 180.

The 2011 Cooma Show will have a decidely local theme, with some exciting challenges for local teams.

Returning to the show after an absence of a few years will be the stockman’s challenge, a test of man and beast conducted in a light-hearted spirit.

This event has proved to be very popular in past years and the Cooma P & A is planning to make it great fun for participants and spectators alike.

A special event to be held next year will be sumo wrestling. Local teams and organisations will be encouraged to enter a couple of willing participants to don Sumo suits and challenge allcomers to determine a winner.

The P & A’s new junior judging steward, James Fletcher, has some exciting plans to revamp and extend junior judging across all competitions in 2011. James has competed in a number of junior judging competitions over the years, so he knows what he

Success has nothing to do with luck. It has everything to do with being better prepared and better informed. We call it professional wealth management.

Leave nothing to chance.

Lunch for Vision Australia The Cooma Friends of Vision Australia Committee is aiming to increase its support for people who are blind or have low vision in the local area by hosting a special luncheon fundraising event.

Guests will enjoy a delicious lunch with dessert and there will be great raffle prizes to be won - including one nights accommodation at the Monarch Hotel Moruya and various gift certificates.

Dave Wilkins, Cooma’s very own musical talent will keep everyone entertained.

All proceeds are proudly donated to Vision Australia to assist children and adults in Cooma and surrounding areas who are blind or have low vision, helping them to participate in every part of life they choose.

To date, Cooma Friends of Vision

Australia has raised an incredible $53,946.50 to help Vision Australia meet the growing need for their services.

By 2020, the number of people who are blind or have low vision is set to double to more than 600,000.

This presents a real challenge for Vision Australia and we are gearing up to meet this increased demand for services into the future.

What: Cooma Friends of Vision Australia Luncheon Fundraiser When: Sunday September 26 at 12pm til 2pm Where: Cooma Country & Bowling Club - 6 Mawson Lane Cooma NSW Tickets: $18 per ticket For ticket sales and enquiries, please contact Norma Lynch, on 6452 3334. The Committee also welcomes new members!

The Kosciuszko Brewery at thee Banjo Paterson Inn in Jindabyne brewed up a genuine German-style Bock beer ying our recent good snows. Mick and I used a combination of Pale, Munich, Chocolate especially for the skiers enjoying and Crystal malts to create a rich dark malt driven beer with an invigorating 7.5 % alcohol level. Super Alpha hops from NZ provided the background ound bitterness, and late hop additions of East Kent Goldings and a new USA variety Citra produced refreshing floral oral and fruity notes. The Bock is so refreshing that consumers are warned not to drink it in excess, but to savour andd really enjoy the rich character. It is available only on tap in middies from the main bar area. Only 4000 litres have been brewed.

New Home Lending Continues To Struggle Higher interest rates and perennial supply side obstacles continue to have a negative impact on new housing loans, with the number of loans flat in July and at an 18-month low, said the Housing Industry Association, the voice of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residential building industry.

HIA Senior Economist, Andrew Harvey, said that from peak to trough the recent fall in new housing loans is larger and faster than that which occurred during the global financial crisis.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The continuing low number of loans will feed through to a decline in new housing activity and again makes it clear that urgent policy action, from a Federal level down, is required to attack supply side obstacles such as slow land supply and costly planning delays,â&#x20AC;? Andrew Harvey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The steep drop-off in new home lending also reconfirms declining affordability trends and helps validate yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision by the RBA Board to keep interest rates on hold.â&#x20AC;?

The number of loans for construction fell by 0.7 per cent in July which represents the ninth consecutive monthly decrease. Loans for the purchase of new dwellings grew by 1.5 per cent meaning that overall loans for new housing were flat, but at a level almost 30 per cent lower than they were nine months ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Loans to first home buyers were always going to drop off after removal of the boost, but what we are also seeing is a substantial loss of s 4ORRENS TITLE WITH COMMUNITY PLAN trade up buyers.

added.

HIA calls on the new Commonwealth Government to state its commitment to pursuing three key policy priorities: a new housing cost reduction program; a housing and development ministry; and recognition and support for small business.

Over the three months to July 2010 total housing loans dropped by 26.2 per cent compared to the same period in 2009. First home buyer loans were down by 56 per cent, while trade up buyer loans fell by 16 per cent.

In seasonally adjusted terms, in July 2010 the total number of owner occupier loans fell by 2.5 per cent in Western Australia and by 7.8 per cent in the NT. Total owner occupier loans increased by 3.9 per cent in New South Wales, 1.0 per cent in Victoria, 1.6 per cent in Queensland, 1.0 per cent in South Australia, and 1.5 per cent in Tasmania.

In today’s climate of computer games and Wii sports it’s nice to know that some of the old stuff is still hanging around.

Like Truth or Dare. I thought this game had died out when Pac Man hit the screen but apparently not. We used to play this one as teens and I can remember kids doing crazy things on a dare like shimmying up telegraph poles, eating disgusting things and generally getting up to stuff they wouldn’t normally do but that was the aim of the game. Ditto with the truth part. There was also another game that the boys used to play called Chicken. It involved two barefoot players and one penknife and it was always played outside to avoid cuts and bloodstains on the carpet but that’s another story.

Today we’re talking about Truth or Dare because Twin I came home one day last week wearing bright lolly pink nail polish and that’s how I found out that kids today still played the game and that Twin I opted for Dare didn’t he! And then he spent the rest of the afternoon with his sleeves pulled way down over his hands, (until he got home anyway) and let me tell you, it was the first

Carports, Garages, Homes, Farm and Industrial Sheds.

thing I noticed as he headed for the fridge. Seriously, that is one colour that really sticks out like the proverbial, especially on the nails of an 18-year-old boy clad entirely in black! His attempts at getting it off had to be seen to be believed but fortunately I had a bottle of nail polish remover on hand and he pounced on it like a drowning man would a life raft and I’m fairly sure that next time around he might consider Truth instead of Dare.

On the other hand, at least he was involved in something other than a computer screen and was actually engaged with real people instead of 3D animated ones so I suppose I should just look askance at things like bright lolly pink nail polish and move on. It was definitely preferable to the time he came home with the blondest hair I’d ever seen because there was no quick fix for that one. So there you go, some things do get passed from generation to generation and it’s nice to know that Truth or Dare won’t end up lost in the mists of time but, on the other hand, if he dares to come home with another shocker before I’m fully over the pink nails I’m going to have one of those moments and that’s the truth!

Ph: 6452 1934

Noxious Weeds Management Services have had a large number of inquiries into the feed value of African Lovegrass for livestock. Below is a summary of a scientific trial conducted at Bredbo by the local branch of Department of Primary industries, (now called Industry and Investment NSW).

African Lovegrass is a native of Southern Africa. It is a hardy drought tolerant perennial grass species that thrives on sandy soils with low fertility. In Australia seven agronomic types of African Lovegrass are recognised, all of which impact on agricultural productivity and biodiversity. It is distributed throughout mainland Australia.

The Problem African Lovegrass readily colonises overgrazed and disturbed sites. Its ability to produce a large volume of seed means it can quickly form dense monocultures. It spreads via vehicle movements, water, fodder, and over short distances by wind.

The seed can also be dispersed by grazing animals.

The African Lovegrass Trial This is a short summary from a trial conducted at the Bredbo Travelling Stock Reserve. This reserve has a dense population of African Lovegrass with a large accumulation of dead material, which is typical of much of the district. The trial site had thirty plots where treatments using fertilising, slashing, burning, and combinations of these were used.

This trial was run between spring 2008 and autumn 2009.

Livestock require feed with 65 percent digestibility or above for the animal to maintain condition or gain weight.

The trial showed that the best digestibility was reached in early spring, when its dry matter digestibility of green leaf (the amount utilised by the animal) reached a maximum of 65 percent. So for the remainder of the year the digestibility was well below 50 percent and only 38 percent in winter down to 3.6

percent of crude protein of the dead leaf. Trials have shown that sheep and cattle will lose weight dramatically when forced to graze African Lovegrass in winter.

Both dry matter digestibility and protein are low in pastures dominated by African Lovegrass and severely limit voluntary intake of the grazing animals so overall carrying capacity is reduced with dense infestations. In better seasons when animals are able to exercise more selective grazing African Lovegrass often remains ungrazed in favour of more palatable species.

Control Methods Control methods of African Lovegrass are not an easy task and require an integrated approach to be effective. The best option is to prevent establishment in the first place and any plants should be destroyed before setting seed to prevent infestation. Keep stock away from fruiting plants and ensure purchase of fodder, produce, stock and soils are free of weed seed. If stock are bought from infested areas they should be kept for at least 14 days in a holding paddock that can be checked for weed seedlings later. In clean areas, be vigilant.

For more information on the African Lovegrass trial go DPI web site www.industry.nsw.gov.au.

If you require further information, please contact Roger Roach on (02) 6455 1942.

BVDV (Pestivirus) vaccination prior to joining District Veterinary Inspector, Chris Haylock pregnancy and the virus established within the Many producers are calving at present and thoughts should be turning to management for the next drop of calves.

This means making sure that you have enough bulls and that they are fit and healthy. It also means that it is time to be sure that any heifers are well enough grown and ready for their first joining.

If you would like to protect your heifers from problems with Pestivirus or BVDV infection, you need to act soon.

Like many vaccines, two doses are needed to give initial immunity to disease. Those two doses need to be given at least one month apart. The second dose needs to be given a couple of weeks before the bull goes out to ensure adequate heifer immunity prior to joining.

Pestivirus is a common virus. 90 percent of cattle herds have some level of exposure, but in many herds, there is no obvious illness. If cattle are exposed to Pestivirus before they are joined, then little harm is done. However, if cows or heifers are first exposed around joining or when pregnant, there can be issues with poor conception, abortions, stillbirth, weak or defective calves, calfhood infections and the survival of persistently infected (PI) animals.

In the last few months there have been two confirmed Pestivirus problems in the Bombala area. On one property, three thin, scouring, drooling weaners were shown to be PIs. Their mothers were infected during the first third of

foetus. Such cattle mostly die in their first year or two of life – usually the first winter in our district.

It is these PIs that shed lots of virus and continue the cycle of infection.

On another property, two of a group of heifers who had recently returned from agistment were noticed to have aborted. Blood tests showed that the heifers had recently been exposed to Pestivirus for the first time – probably as they returned home and mixed with other cattle. The infections lead to the abortions.

In some cases outbreaks in susceptible herds can prove very costly. It has been estimated that for commercial herds in southern Australia, that BVDV infection can cost up to $35/breeder/year.

The investment of $9 per heifer and $4.50 a year for booster vaccinations is good insurance.

All ages of cattle can suffer reproductive losses due to Pestivirus, but problems are most common in heifers simply because they have had the least opportunity to be exposed to the virus. Heifers can be given their first dose of vaccine at weaning time, so that only one booster dose is needed in the months before joining. Annual booster vaccinations ensure that immunity remains high in the whole herd.

Pestivirus is just one of the excuses that cattle have for failing to give you a live healthy calf each year. It is, at least, one that you can do something about. A properly timed vaccination program for heifers will remove the threat of infection over that first joining and early pregnancy; keeping your investment safer.

Shop changes hands Never Ending Memories has opened a new chapter in its life with Karin Spencer now at the helm. Karin has many years experience in the retail industry and brings with her a wealth of customer service skills and fresh new ideas for the store.

As a local lady Karin has always shopped in Cooma for everything, supporting the local community. Now she is going to make Never Ending Memories into a place where you can buy for everyone at reasonable prices. “The opportunity arose for me to buy the business and the time was right, I’m here for the long haul.” said Karin. “ I feel Cooma needs this type of shop, where you can get everything you need. I won’t be stocking the same products as the other shops in town, as I want to keep my stock unique with prices that reflect the products quality. I’m keeping the name because everyone knows where it is and I really like

it; it’s a lovely name for this type of store.

Karin will be stocking a diverse range of homewares, products for teens, men and special presents for new borns. She will be stocking more items specifically for men and is even going to have a coffee machine for you to have a cuppa while you browse.

Karin will add her personal touch to the shop, with new ideas, products and free gift-wrapping on purchases.

New stock will be arriving all the time so keep popping in and have a look.

Big discounts are on offer for the old stock and some opening specials.

“By Christmas time the store will be ‘ACE’, fully stocked and raring to go and help you find the perfect Christmas gift for your loved ones.”

She said.

Karin Spencer has bought Never Ending Memories.

Junior cricket competition needs more players and managers After a very successful season last year the Monaro Junior Cricket Association will once again be entering U/15 and U/14 sides in the ACT junior competitions.

The U/15 matches are played on Saturday afternoons while the U/14’s play on Sunday mornings.

This year the competitions will be a mixture of 50 over matches and 20/20 games played on a home and away basis.

The local primary school competition will be run on the same format as last year with the games to be played after school on Monday evenings.

Over past years the association has ran a local junior high school competition as well as entering U/12 U/14 and U/16 representative teams in the Southern Zone

competition.

Unfortunately this year, due to a lack of a significant player base and availability of team managers, the local junior high school competition and representative teams may not be formed.

For anyone interested in getting involved and promoting junior cricket they should come along to the junior cricket AGM or contact Garth Moxon on 64521947.

The AGM will be held on Wednesday September 22 at the Cooma ExServices Club commencing at 7.30pm

Cooma Tigers grand finals 2010

29

Lady Tigers lose grand final Tigers lose close grand final Cooma FC Lady Tigers played against Woden Valley Griffins in the division two grand final at The University of Canberra oval on Sunday.

After winning their semi final 1-0 last week, thanks to a Beth McMahon goal, the girls were ready to take on the formidable Woden Valley.

The grand final started with both sides trying to dominate the game in the midfield, but it was the Griffins who drew first blood in the 30th minute, scoring a scrappy goal after a defensive mix-up.

Only 10 minutes later Woden Valley scored their second goal with a header on the line from a speculative cross.

The Lady Tigers attacked in the remaining minutes of the first half from both the right and left, with fast wingers Beth and Alicia, but the result did not change.

Cooma played much better in the second half and they had more chances, especially in the last 20 minutes of the game. Unfortunately, they were unlucky not to convert their opportunities and the final score was

2-0 for the Griffins.

Lady ‘Tigers’ of the day were awarded to Courtney Freeman for outstanding determination playing left back and also Lara McAuley for dominating the right back, putting off Woden’s star striker “Shorty” on numerous occasions. Well done girls.

Congratulations to Woden Valley, who also took out the Minor Premiership; they were clearly the strongest team in the comp.

Overall, the Lady Tigers had a great season with 10 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses, finishing the league in third position.

They were the second top scoring team in the league and they produced the third and fourth top goal scorers in division two with Libby Goggin scoring 11 goals and Beth scoring nine goals.

They showed great team spirit all season, worked hard, and played as a team at every game. They started their football campaign having last years division three winners Libby Goggin, Tina Cafferelli, Beth McMahon, Emma Gerrand and Kailey Tonini, and also the four under 15 girls Annie Crofts, Deanne Baines, Georgia Peters and Bec Thompson. Grace Daley, Bec Pascall, Latitia Newman and goal keeper Clarie D’Amico all had a great season and contributed to the team’s success this year, as well as first time football players Alicia Connell, Lara McAuley and Courtney Freeman.

Congratulations to the Lady Tigers to making grand final; you made Cooma FC proud once again.

Cooma division five headed to Canberra to take their place in the 2010 Grand Final against Canberra City on Saturday.

After hitting impressive form late in the season, the boys were very confident coming into the last hurdle of the season.

Cooma started off slow and allowed City to control the game, which put the strong Tigers defence under strain from the start. Mark Chenery was up for a big game, and, just like every week, kept the final alive with some brilliant goalkeeping and a strong performance.

Against the run of play Cooma got a free kick just before the half time whistle. Andrew Bobinskas stepped up and curled a dangerous ball in, and with help from the City keeper Cooma found themselves up 1-0 going into the break.

Cooma came out a different team in the second half and were keen to put another goal away to finish off a Canberra City team that were not converting chances.

Before long a scuffle in the box lead to a Cooma player being clearly taken out and a penalty was awarded, as well as a Canberra City player being sent off. Captain Paul Lawson stepped up to try to convert the penalty to give Cooma a 2-0 lead, but it wasn’t to be. A great save by the city keeper kept them in with a chance.

Cooma’s heads were down and they found it hard to recover form here. Before long City found their easiest chance of the season presented to them with an open goal, and it was 1-1.

In the celebrations an argument had broken out, and in the confusion the referee showed Jason Warren-Smith a red card.

Cooma pushed on the counter

attack and were very unlucky not to score through a wonder strike from Tim Jordan. With 10 minutes left, a mishap in the Cooma back-line lead to another open goal for Canberra City to take a 2-1 lead; which they would hold on to until the end.

Coach Walker said “Cooma paid the price for not taking their chances. I’m not making any excuses, but Canberra City didn’t win the game; Cooma lost it. But that’s finals for you. No one expected us to be playing finals this year and we proved them wrong.

“We should all be very proud of the boys its been a fairytale season. Straight after the game all the boys committed to sticking together and wanting to push one better next year. Thankyou to the massive support at the game it was truly a fun day out and also a big thankyou to all the squad that have been there through thick and thin; it’s been an unreal season.

Best on field Ben Baker, Tim Jordan, Brendan Wall and Mark Chenery.

Tigers Under 18s lose in shootout Today our first Grand Final place was up for grabs as we faced our old foe Woden, with our 5-1 drubbing of them three weeks earlier fresh in our memories.

The game started at a furious pace with both teams keen to attack and the Tigers narrowly having the edge in the first 15 minutes. The Tiger’s first great opportunity came from the penalty spot, but the advantage could not be taken.

Our redemption came shortly later when a shot from Ciaran Rayment was deflected, and Chris Phillips made no mistake in giving Cooma a 1-nil lead.

Another missed penalty left the Tigers looking rather dejected.

Woden grabbed an equaliser right on half time when the Tiger’s defensive line was caught napping; 1-1 at half time.

Woden came out firing in the second half and really dominated the

first 20 minutes, as the Tigers found themselves under constant attack and only solid defence and some good midfield play kept Woden from scoring.

Despite Woden being reduced to 10 men, the Tigers couldn’t capitalise on this momentum swing and Woden held on to take the game into extra time.

The game went to penalty shoot out, with each side missing one each for the first five. It was the Tigers’ seventh penalty shot that was saved by the keeper and Woden rejoiced to win 6-5 on penalties.

What a game what a season! Today the team will look back on the missed opportunities but the boys can hold their heads high for a season of great accomplishments. Their fair play, sportsmanship and good humor is to be commended; congratulations boys on a wonderful season where, with a little luck, we certainly were a championship contender.

Tigers bow out of finals with 2-1 loss Our dream to become the 2010 champions of the premier league for this year were demolished, though it was not because of a lack of effort but due to what in Football is called the luck factor.

We do not want to take any credit away from Belconnen as a serious aspirant to the title, though it needs to be noted that they were challenged by the Tigers for most of the game.

In spite of all our efforts, two soft goals were conceded, the first one in the first half of normal time and the second one in the first half of extended time.

Cooma created excellent opportunities but was unable to find the goals. However, Tigers were at a championship level, the determination of every single one of the players impressed; and demonstrated that all of them are genuine Tiger warriors.

The moral compass of the team was proudly held by the captain (Marcial Munoz) throughout the season.

One could also say he was one of the top players of the season. Proof of this claim was his brilliant goal against Belconnen. Off a free-kick, a good long way out from the goal, he nailed the ball into the top right corner of Belconnen’s goal. This made the Tigers hopeful, confident of their team’s chances of conquering a game that was never too far away from them.

Even though the Tigers lost the preliminary finals one has to emphasise the successful campaign made by this team and its management throughout the length of the season. This team proved a lot of people wrong; as many stated that they would not achieve more than a sixth place in this year’s competition, particularly after losing the first few games at the start of the season.

However, the determination of Gabriel Wilk, the coach, to take Cooma to at least one of the top three places in the competition paid off.

It needs to be said that Gabriel is used to aiming and achieving very high with every team he has coached throughout the years.

We need to thank the sponsors as without them we would not have had a Premier team. The sponsors are Cooma Ex Service men, 3D paint store, and Mick Klima. Thanks need to be given as well to the CSC’s president, Harry Hovasapian, for the consistent support given to the Cooma Tigers Premier team. His involvement in the club and the team’s playing is invaluable.

We should also like to farewell Cristobal Soza who returns to Chile and Daniel Gecic who is going back to Brisbane. We need to thank them for their important contribution to the Premiers team this year.

Western horse weekend

Cooma pool shaping up for summer

Well, It’s shaping up to be a Super Show season for 10/11 with our first event being a clinic with the respected Western Performance Trainer Tim French.

He will be coming down from Sydney to pass his knowledge on to us on how to get the best from our horses and iron out any problems we are encountering with them before our shows start for the season. The clinic will be followed by a Beginners twilight show starting at approximately 6pm and we will be competing in classes that we have previously practiced with Tim during the clinic. On Sunday there will be a B grade show with Tim being the Judge for both events.

This is a not to be missed event and is giving our western riders the best start for the show season. We are a family orientated association and accredited with the AQHA we welcome all new members., As places are limited for the clinic you would need to be super quick to secure your place. If you are interested in participating or joining please contact Rebecca at mapleleaf@westnet.com.au or phone 6236269 or visit our website www. smwra.com.au

The changes are now evident in the construction work going on at the Cooma Festival Swimming Pool.

Work on the site has steadily been progressing since May and as you go past the site you can notice new walls, awnings and the demolition of the original buildings.

John Nassar from Full on Constructions said “progress has been good, not too bad at all but like anything in the building game you have got your issues, especially when it’s a community based project like this one.”

He also said the weather; especially during winter because of temperature constraints can cause delays. Though it hasn’t been too bad.

If being delayed by a few days is the difference between getting it right the first time and not rushing the job and getting the final product you really want then so be it. As with all community based projects a lot of things change through

Help shape national park mountain bike policy The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) has launched a discussion paper on mountain biking opportunities in the state’s national parks and reserves.

The discussion paper will help NPWS develop a NSW Cycling Policy and Mountain Biking Strategy.

NPWS head Sally Barnes said cycling was one of the most popular outdoor activities in NSW national parks, and as popular as camping.

“We have 6.87 million hectares of national parks and reserves in NSW. The best way to get people interested and involved in conservation or these areas is by helping them get outside and see the parks for themselves,” Ms Barnes said.

“Mountain biking is already possible along thousands of kilometres of management trails in many of our parks and specified tracks in reserves such as Glenrock SCA, Yellowmundee Regional Park, and Kosciuszko and Royal national parks.

“Planning is also underway in northern Sydney to help design, develop and closely monitor stateof-the art tracks that minimise environmental impacts such as erosion and water flow.

“There is strong community support for providing more for recreational opportunities in national

parks. At the same time, there are concerns about the impact uncontrolled mountain biking along informal tracks is having on our parks and the potential environmental impacts mountain biking could have on sensitive areas.”

Ms Barnes said the discussion paper looked at how new opportunities can be provided in a way that provides the best experiences for mountain bikers, minimal conflict with other users and the best conservation for the parks .

“At its heart is the recommendation that world class mountain bike experiences be provided in a limited number of parks, in places that are best suited to it,” she said.

“Some parks are not suitable for mountain biking at all.

“The discussion paper also canvasses track design and conservation to make sure we provide well designed, appropriately sited tracks without the negative environmental impacts often with associated with people using informal tracks.

“All new mountain biking tracks would still be subject to environmental assessment and need to be approved through the plans of management for the park itself – which would involve further community consultation.”

the construction process. Things get added in late, causing minor delays but at this stage nothing too major has occurred, just your standard delays.

It’s estimated that the building work will be completed in about mid October, but realistically it’s too early to call at the moment.

The project consists predominantly of a lot bulky work and groundwork, which is being completed pretty much on time. There has been some infrastructure work Council has come back to us with and said maybe we should put this or that in and he said your crazy if you don’t do it while it’s all at this stage.

“The building is here to last a long time, so if it means we have to take extra time to complete the project and get it right we will.

Council has been very reasonable about it all and it’s going along nicely.”

Bowlers enjoy spring weather Players at the Cooma Bowling Club’s made the most of the fantastic weather over the weekend to tune up for the upcoming opening of the 2011 bowling season by taking part in social matches.

Excellent fields participated on both Saturday and Sunday and some very enjoyable and competitive bowls was played.

On Saturday 33 players played in five games of triples and one of pairs. Four of the six matches produced very close results with a draw, one decided by one shot and two decided by two shots! In the drawn match six shots on the second last end to Jack Sajina, George Davidson and Bob Lahy allowed them to catch Sajina (playing swinging lead) Peter Marsicano and Keith Goodwin. In a twist Goodwin’s team won the last end by a shot on the last end to draw the match 22 all.

Five shots on the last two ends to Fiona Richards, Ken Boate and Terry Croker were not enough for them to catch Mick Mayhew, Maureen D’Amico and Colin Roberson. Down 20 – 14 with the two ends to play Croker’s team almost grabbed a last minute win but they fell short by a shot. Roberson’s team held on to win 20 – 19.

Sergio Roncelli, Peter Harris and Don Jarvis held on to finish 22 – 20 winners over Mary Murphy, Steve Lapham and Jim Fletcher. Jarvis pulled ahead in the very tight game when his team picked up 12 shots between the 14th and 20th ends going from 14 – 10 down to a lead of 22 – 17. Fletcher recovered to grab three shots on the last end but it wasn’t enough.

Mario Frezza, Col Cottam and John Schoon

needed six shots on the last end in their clash with Ron Wainwright, Renate Winckel and Peter Caldwell.

They were able to win the end well but could only manage four shots and went down 21 – 19.

The final game of triples resulted in a good 26 – 14 win to Daphne Buckley, Geoff Venables and Neil McGregor over obber Seears, Lola Wallis and Denis Steinfort. In the pairs game Xin Cottam and Paul Cannell combined well to get the better of Olga Jebbink and Giulio D’Amico by 23 – 17.

Eighteen players played in three games of triples on Sunday. In the closest game Mario Frezza, Keith Goodwin and Paul Cannell held on to down a fast finishing John Vincent, Ron Gammon and Don Jarvis by 23 – 20.

Cooma Rifle Club Cooma rifle club has been experiencing poor attendances lately, perhaps based on the weather forecasts.

After all, the range is bare, open and miserable in an icy winterland.

Last Saturday however there was a frost but the sky was clear the sun was warm and there was only a light westerly breeze, making it a nice day for shooting.

Five shooters turned up but only three shot. Don Robb had other

appointments and because our regular marker is still unavailable due to injury Noel Barrett with a helper did the marking so he didn’t shoot.

The off-rifle results from 300 yards were: Lachlan Thompson 37.1 and 31.0 total 69.1, Brian Bradley 28.1 and 30.1 total 58.2, Graeme Crundwell 43.2, single stage only.

Next Saturday shooting will be from 400 yards for the final stage of the monthly spoon competition.

School sports funds Member for Monaro Steve Whan today announced 28 schools in the region would receive a Premier’s Sporting Challenge grant to purchase new sporting equipment.

Mr Whan said the NSW Government had provided $20 million over three years for new sporting equipment through the Premier’s Sporting Challenge Equipment to School grants.

“In total, the Premier’s Sporting Challenge has funded $50 million in initiatives to encourage physical activity in schools,” he said.

“I’m delighted to deliver the latest allocation of grants to help Monaro schools purchase new sporting equipment,” Mr Whan said.

“Schools will use the funding to update existing sports equipment and purchase new items for students, such as cricket bats, footballs and tennis rackets.”

Mr Whan said the grants were an important part of the Premier’s Sporting Challenge.

“The Premier’s Sporting Challenge has been tremendously successful in challenging school students to make physical activity an important part of their daily routines,” he said.

“This program will help our region create the Terry Campeses and Torah Brights of tomorrow.

“The NSW Government is encouraging more schools to take part in the Challenge by providing these grants for new sporting equipment, as well as other funding

programs to upgrade schools sports facilities.”

Under the Premier’s Sporting Challenge, every primary school will receive an Equipment to School grant to purchase new sporting equipment.

UNDER 11S Next up at 11am were the Under 11s, with the Wombats taking on the Bilbies. Brahnie Mitchell, Lucy Merritt, Dakota Miles and Maaike Riphagen were all excited to be in a grand Ffnal in their first season of netball. Sisters Katie and Jaimie Farrell both played well on opposing teams in the goal ring. Final score went to the Wombats, 22 goals to the Bilbies 11.

Robyn Mikula, who coached the Bilbies with her daughter Tayla, made mention of the older team members, including Kayla, Terri and Mackenzie, for being fantastic role models, helping and encouraging the younger players all season.

Wombat coaches Julie Jones and

Dana Brownlie were delighted with their win. All those green and red frogs at half time had good effect! The team played well together, as they have all season. All spectators were thrilled when Lucy Merritt again potted a goal.

Players of the grand final for the Under 11s were Kayla Hall and Anna Horton, long time friends who enjoy their netball immensely.

Awards for 2010: Best and Fairest for Under 11s was awarded to Rosie Garnock, Coaches awards all went to first season players, Lucy Merritt (Wombats), Hannah Feilen (Echidnas), Dakota Miles (Bilbies), Jasmine Thompson (Possums), and Maddie Manning (Wallabies).

OPENS Next to take the court were the Opens, where the pace of play picked up one hundred fold. Stilleto and Diva battled it out, with only a couple of goals separating the sides at any stage during the game. It was a strongly contested game, with all players taking to their positions with gusto.

Final victors were Diva with 28 goals to Stilletto’s 26.

Both sides thanked their subs, Katherine and Clarra for Stilleto, and Jordon and Eliza for Diva, for playing on the day.

Players of the grand final were Eliza Reed and Katie Peisley, who both had very strong games in Wing Attack and Goal Shooter/ Wing Defence respectively.

UNDER 13s The final grand final of the day, the Under 13’, proved to be an absolute cliff-hanger, with all spectators on the edge of their seats. Not only was it team against team, but also sister against sister, with Tori and Chloe Wilson, Teri and Darcie Roberson and Caitlin and Lauren King all opposing one another.

The Finches and the Rosellas went head to head from the start, with only one or two goals separating them at any one time. By full time the score was 18 all, so extra time

of seven minutes each way was played.

After the first seven minutes the score was again even, but, with all the players nearly dead on their feet, the Finches finally drew ahead in the final minutes to beat the Rosellas, 28 goals to 25. Many spectators agreed that it was the game of the day, with wonderful commitment and skill shown by all players on the court.

Coaches Jordon Shelley and Clarra McKinnell for the Rosellas and Jessie Morgan and Dallas Stewart for the Finches were all very proud of their teams performances.

Player of the grand final was Tori Wilson, who was very strong as Goal Attack all game.

Awards for 2010: Best and Fairest for Under 13s was awarded to Aimee Badewitz.

Coaches awards went to Virginia Platts (Wrens), Charlotte Platts (Rosellas), Chloe Neven (Kingfishers) and Anna Horton (Finches)

UNDER 11s Caitlin King and Abbie Perkins had a great passing game. Georgia Jones defended anything that moved. Jaimie Farrell and Lucy Merritt, even though small in stature, played like giants; Jaimie saving a few goals and Lucy scoring one. Anna Horton shot like Susan Pratley and gave the defence no end of headaches. Miaake Riphagen - the smiley assassin - improved immensely throughout the year and played like a pro in the Grand Final.

I would like to thank my assistant supercoach, Dana Brownlie, for her professionalism during the year, and the skills she provided all players, especially one on one with Lucy Merritt, who received our Coaches Award. Special mention to Anna Horton, who gave Lucy every chance to improve her skills as Goal Shooter.

Great success for local riders - junior and senior Matt and Chrissie French own “Chansit” which is located at Nimmitabel, where they are currently running both sheep and cattle as well as horses.

They have both spent many long hours in the saddle and have at times been employed as contract drovers, musterers and horse breakers. They also use horses for all their mustering requirements on their own property.

The last time they went out droving was as a family with their two small children. This lasted for 22 months in which time they walked the cattle over approximately 5500 kilometres.

“Droving has proved to be a large part of our lives and it has been where our horses start their education. Whilst droving, our horses are put in all kinds of different situations, which in turn forms great groundwork for our horses to go on in all equestrian sports.” Said Chrissie.

Both Matt and Chrissie have a life long passion for horses and take a special interest in the Australian Stock Horse. They have used horses for both work and pleasure and have never found a horse more versatile. Their main hobby is Campdrafting and they have over the years been building up both mares and sires for their own stud, “Chansit Aust Stock Horses”.

When Matt and Chrissie are not in the saddle they are busy chasing and studying horse breeds.

At “Chansit” it has been a lifetime dream to be in a position to have enough well-bred and well preforming horses to start selling on a yearly basis and they are now joining approximately 10 to 15 mares each year.

“We are extremely proud of how are horses are preforming and excited about what the future holds with our different crosses coming through, both on a performance and breeding prospective.”

Having been brought up in the saddle, horse’s are just a way and part of life for Matt, his family have been on the land for six generations, during this time each generation has ridden, bred and broken-in their own horses.

Chrissie has been around horses all of her life, she has competed successfully at state level for Campdrafting, Showjumping, Sporting and Dressage and has been handling, breaking-in and educating horses for over 17 years.

Chrissie and Matt are focusing on getting their stud name ‘out there’ at the moment and are attending drafting events all over NSW and Queensland, so have pulled back from chasing rider points for the time being.

Having said that Chrissie recently won the Champion Lady Rider award for the Far South Coast/Southern Tablelands Zone and came fourth in the open division where she is up against the men.

As riding runs in the family her niece Tayla Ventry who is only eight years old came equal second in the eight to 13 year division. This was Tayla’s first year of competition and she has a natural talent for riding.

Tayla helps her dad on the farm to muster sheep, cows and goats and goes to pony club, where she competes in barrel races, flag races and “goes over jumps”.

Tayla has just bought her very own horse called ‘Suzie’ and she is white with a bit of black in her mane and forelock. What Tayla loves most about horses is the time you get to spend with them they keep you company, they are good fun to ride, they can take you to lots of places and everywhere you want to go. She said she thinks she’ll be riding for a very very long time.

Chrissie and Tayla were the only two local riders to place in this competition with all other place getters from other regions.

“This season saw the club’s senior playing list expand to around 40 players, new lights being installed at Snowy Oval, the first senior and junior AFL games being played at the Station Resort Oval in Jindabyne, and the a number of successful fundraising activities occurring,” he said.

“The Cooma Cats Football Club, which includes our junior Snowy SuperCats, is going from strength to strength and we look forward to continuing our mission of bring AFL to the Monaro and Snowy Mountains in 2011 and beyond.

The Cooma Stallions Under 18s came within a whisker of winning the title of junior champions when they went down to Bega 20 to 22 in the Group 16 grand final at Bega last Sunday.

Cooma started the game well, controlling the ball and having good territorial advantage.

Bega was first to score but Cooma bounced straight back to cross the line twice to go into halftime with the score locked up at 10-all.

Bega looked a little better organised early in the second half and slipped away to a 22 to 10 lead which looked like a winning margin, but Cooma had plenty of points left in them and were unlucky not to be in the lead when they crossed the line twice, only to be ruled correctly as lost and a double movement.

Not to be disillusioned, they pushed on and scored twice to turn the final minutes of the game into a thriller.

Smith out a kick in for his outside backs as the siren sounded and Learoyd was just beaten to the ball ingaol by the Bega fullback.
