Nimmitabel celebrates St Mary
The people of Nimmitabel turned out to welcome Sr Mary Mackillop, now St Mary of the Cross, last Saturday. St Mary was conveyed by buggy from Lake Williams to St Andrews Catholic Church for a special mass of thanksgiving for her cannonisation. St Mary has close connections with
Nimmitabel, and was instrumental in having a convent built there as well as St Joseph’s School. Some of the sisters who have lived in the convent returned to town for the celebrations.

Council not “anti-development� Cooma-Monaro Shire Council’s general manager, John Vucic, is applauding a statement from Bunnings that it has not had failed discussions with council about a development in Cooma North. Council had been seeking a correction to an article in the October 19 edition of the “Cooma-Monaro Express� in which council was blamed for Bunnings not pursuing a development at the former St Patricks School site in
Mittagang Road, Cooma. The matter was raised at the November 8 meeting of council, with a report on the incident tabled by general manager John Vucic. Mr Vucic advised council he had been seeking a retraction of the article which had caused council, councillors and staff significant abuse from the general public. The manager of Cooma-Monaro Express, Martha Atkinson, addressed council in open fourm, seeking a retraction of a statement in Mr Vucic’s report, that she had agreed with him that there had been inappropriate research by the reporter into the matter. Referring to Mr Vucic’s request for a Mobile: 0418 620 626 retraction to be printed, Mrs Atkinson Cooma: (02) 6452 1598 said she had advised Mr Vucic to write a Sydney : (02) 9531 7550 letter to the editor. When the matter was discussed by Fax Cooma: (02) 6452 1583 council, Cr Roger Norton asked “how did Fax Sydney: (02) 9531 7551 this all start?� Email: bettinip@bigpond.com Mr Vucic said it began when the article Professional and Reliable service was published, because the information for 30 years was incorrect. Local * Country * Interstate He said council had not had any Weekly service Sydney to Snowy Mtns discussions with Bunnings about the and all points in between matter and he had been quoted out of context.
Mr Vucic said the information used in the article had come from a private document “which had nothing to do with Bunnings�. Council’s director of environmental services, Peter Smith, said he had contacted Bunnings, who told him they had not initiated any inquiries about development in Cooma at this stage. Mr Smith said Bunnings “were not happy they had been dragged into something they were not responsible for�. Councillors at the meeting said they had been forced to defend council after the article appeared. Cr Jenny Lawlis said she had been “hammered� when she came to Cooma the day the article appeared. Cr Winston Phillips also said he had been contacted by ratepayers who were concerned about council’s reported ‘anti-development’ attitide. Mayor Dean Lynch said council had not turned anyone away. He said “when the speculators looked at the site, they were more than accommodated� He said he wanted to see the matter resolved and did not want there to be ‘bad friends’ between council and the media. Mr Vucic said he had been in negotiations with the “Express� and now needed to know whether the newspaper would change its line. He said he was still prepared to negotiate, but said the next time he was quoted “please ask me�.

First Snowy Mountain property goes under virtual hammer A picturesque alpine property set amongst the playground of Australian celebrities will be the first Snowy Mountain property to be sold online. The “Jillamatong” property located on the Alpine Way, the ‘golden mile’ between Jindabyne and Thredbo is expected to draw a large amount of interest from around Australia due to its close proximity to two of the major snow fields and a major tourism area of Australia. The property will be marketed to potential buyers by Kosciusko First National using SOLDONLINE. COM.AU, Australia’s premier online property auction provider, with bidding starting on December 9 and ending on December 14, 2010. Gordon Jenkinson, Principal of Kosciusko First National said, “We are really excited to be the first in the Snowy Mountain area to be selling properties online. Most of our buyers are from outside the region so it makes complete sense to offer this service.” “The majority of our sales are now coming over the internet as are our enquiries, so online auctions are the perfect extension of our services.” “In rural areas including our own it is increasingly difficult to get genuine buyers to attend an onsite auction. We end up with a lot of onlookers, but no buyers.” “In places like the Snowy Mountains there are great distances involved in attending auctions and often unpredictable weather that turns buyers away.
By removing the need for unnecessary travel we are hoping to achieve a better result for all involved.” “The auction will run over four days allowing interested parties to make educated decisions and consult family members or advisors throughout the whole process which is not always possible on the spot at a traditional auction.” “This is a great opportunity as property along the Alpine Way rarely comes onto the market and “Jillamatong” is the only rural residential property currently for sale in the Crackenback Valley,” Mr Jenkinson said. Director of SOLDONLINE.COM.AU and Licensed Real Estate Auctioneer, David Scholes agrees: “With nearly 80 percent of properties being researched online, it makes sense to have auctions online as well.” “An online auction is the perfect choice for a property such as this one with interested buyers potentially coming from right across Australia.” “We have made auctions accessible for a greater range of bidders who can register and bid from wherever they are at their own convenience. “This way both buyers and sellers have increased flexibility and can make their decisions from the comfort of their own home in their own time,” Mr Scholes said.

Gidgillys director receives award and scholarship
It's a busy time at the Cooma - Monaro Historic car club. All the members are "flat out" preparing the new clubhouse in Bolaro Street, Cooma North for the start of the Snowy Mountains Touring Classic this coming Saturday morning November 20. More than 100 cars aged 30 and over will gather at the club house at 8am and will be on display until 9am, when the first cars will be flagged off. Bev has been there on crutches supervising the preparations and helpers have ranged from three to 86 years old + "OP" the dog. The Canberra Falcon club and the Australian Sporting Car Club have visited. The club has had runs to Tuross Heads and the Bombala Engine Rally and have been to Thredbo after the Snowy Ride to collect some of the children with cancer and return them to Cooma. The clubhouse hosted the Monaro Early Intervention Service "Sip N Swing" function which was very well attended and was a successful fundraiser for MEIS. On November 6, the Lions Club hosted a barbecue at the clubhouse for visiting Japanese Lions, Students and Council members from Cooma's Sister City Yamaga in conjunction with Cooma Monaro Shire. The visiting Japanese children had an absolute ball that night.

Emma Smith, director of Gidgillys, was recently the recipient of an award from Early Childhood Association (NSW) for “Her outstanding commitment to the child care sector”. With her passion for early childhood education and the issues affecting children and their families, Emma was very pleased to be selected as one of six throughout Australia. Furthering her achievement in her chosen profession, Emma also won a scholarship enabling her to attend the Early Childhood Association’s National Conference, held early last month in Adelaide.
At the conference Emma was lucky enough to attend many workshops and lectures, covering such topics as Curriculum, Leadership, and Environmental Sustainability in Childcare Settings. She has already put in place a swag of new initiatives at Gidgillys including a new bike track for the children incorporating a garden and stepping stones. Next year she plans to introduce regular Parent Workshops at Gidgillys where she will provide information and training tools to parents of young children and babies.

Snowy Strings Community Orchestra On Sunday November 6, local young musicians performed for the first time as a community orchestra. Students from both JCS and SMEGS played not only as a full orchestra but also demonstrated their solo and small ensemble skills. The primary aged players were introduced as the Snowflakes, followed by the full orchestra entitled “The Snowy Mountains String Orchestra” and other groups including “The Snowy Strings Quartet” and our boy band – “The Band From Snowy River”. The children performed for over an hour delighting friends and family with a wide range of musical styles including modern, folk, classical and jazz pieces. Students rehearse every

NPWS issues warning on harming kangaroos
The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) today warned that there were very serious penalties for harming kangaroos following a recent incident on a Cootamundra wildlife refuge in which kangaroos were allegedly hunted with dogs. NPWS Area Manager, Steve Cathcart, said that kangaroos were protected by law. “If you are caught harming a kangaroo you are liable to a penalty of up to $11,000 and or six months in gaol,” Mr Cathcart said. “Hunting kangaroos with dogs is a particularly nasty thing to do, especially in a reserve which has been a refuge
for these animals for decades. “If landholders are experiencing hardship because of an over abundance of kangaroos on their land then they can apply to the NPWS for a licence to cull an agreed number. otherwise it is illegal. “If anyone has any information about the recent incident at the Rathmels Lane property on November 3 then we would be very interested in talking to them. “All information would be treated with the strictest confidentiality. “People can contact the Tumut office of the NPWS on 6947 7000 or the Cootamundra police,” Mr Cathcart said.

Legacy chairman hands over the reins The annual Cooma-Bombala Legacy group luncheon was held at Cooma Ex-Service’s Club on November 7. The day marked the end of the group’s chairmanship by legatee John Field, who has handed over the position to Mick Meillion. In his report, Mr Field thanked all Legatees for their support over the past 12 months. He said the local Legacy family comprises six women, two WW11
veterans, 11 ex-servicemen and 11 non ex-servicemen. He said the group remains in a strong financial position, due largely to the annual Badge Day, which this year netted $18,000.

Fire The annual McHappy Day was held on Saturday at Cooma McDonalds. The NSW Fire Brigade provided four crew to help out on the day, by cooking, taking orders and serving in the drive-through. Also working on the day were Melbourne Storm Brett White and two Brumbies players.
attempted robbery took place in Commissioner Street Cooma. The victim was walking down a driveway, when a male holding a large hunting knife and a spanner approached him. A scuffle ensued with the victim disarming the attacker. The attacker fled through the ExServices Club car park and drove off in a dark coloured sedan with P plates on it.
On Monday at about 11am NSW Fire Brigade attended a laundry fire in Harris Street Cooma. The fire was caused by an electrical fault in the common laundry of a duplex building. The fire totally destroyed the laundry area including a washing machine and clothes dryer. No other part of the building was damaged.
Also on Saturday night between 7.40pm and 7.50pm the Subway Restaurant in Sharp Street Cooma was held up. A tall, thin male aged approximately 18 to 20 years old entered the store and approached the front counter with a large black handled knife. He was banging the knife on the counter and threatening staff. He made off with an amount of money and ran from the scene. CCTV footage is still being examined.
Police The owners of a vehicle parked outside their residence in Old Adaminaby had it broken into last Thursday, sometime between 9am and 5.30pm. The rear quarter window had been forced open and a backpack, wallet and several other items were stolen. Sometime over the weekend several windows at Monaro High were damaged. The school bus also had its front windscreen broken. At around midnight on Saturday, several young intoxicated males were asked to clean up their mess and put out their fire in the grandstand at the Cooma showground. A 20-year-old Cooma male was arrested and given a criminal infringement notice for offensive language. He was dropped off at a friend’s house, due to his state of intoxication. A 17-year-old Cooma male was charged with under aged drinking and consuming alcohol in Centennial Park on Friday night at 9.15pm. He was issued with a criminal infringement notice.

Cancer groups run out of funds
Another Curley One
Editor, I write this letter with great regret and sadness that there are no funds currently available to financially assist people undergoing treatment for cancer in the Cooma area. With the increasing number of people being referred to us for assistance in the Cooma area this has put a large strain on funds already raised. The group is currently assisting 97 families in this area in which we receive no government assistance from either State or Federal which we have been lobbying very hard to obtain funds. Current grants available from State and Federal Government do not cover what our group does in relation to financial assistance. We would like to thank Ray and Sue Peters-Smith for all their hard
A Weighty Issue.
work in raising the funds that they have raised. Many people have benefitted from their hard work as all money that has been raised in the Cooma area, goes directly back to assisting families in your area with medication, food and petrol costs, special food supplements and chemotherapy costs. In order for assistance to be provided to the Cooma community, there needs to be a Committee formed and some serious fundraising to be implanted, without this, there is no help. Yours in Friendship and Charity Mark Green Manager Eden Monaro Cancer Support Group
Editor’s note:
This letter has been reprinted due to a technical error in last week’s edition. Moves are now underway to assist the group with funding and this will be reported once finalised.
Half of the country is now overweight Perhaps it’s because of something we ate. Fast food for sale wherever we look Quicker and simpler than having to cook.

Even the kids are driven to school Walking or cycling may not be cool. Perhaps parents believe all the media hype That danger lurks there and other such tripe. The real danger for children is in what they eat Not in the someone they may chance to meet. Diabetes keeps rising at a terrible rate To see it slow down would be really great.

Here’s some late-breaking news - anyone intending to attend the evening with Barbara Holborrow OAM on November 26 will be disappointed. Mrs Holborrow has had to cancel due to ill health and all tickets already purchased will be refunded.
Nimmitabel residents enjoyed greeting a new ‘saint’ on Saturday. Because of the town’s close association with Sr Mary Mackillop, a special mass was held to celebrate her canonisation. The Postman can report that a semi-fit person can keep up with a
Clydesdale – at a walk. It is when the horse is clicked into a trot that any lack of fitness becomes apparent… Here’s another bit of info, too: the gradient of the hill St Andrews sits on is quite steep to jog up – especially if one has previously
been trying to keep pace with the aforesaid trotting Clydesdale! It’s been a tad wet, lately, but The Postman notes there are still plenty of dry dams about the place. However, on a still, warm day, one can hear the grass grow!
And for those whose wisteria was nuked by the last minus seven morning, take heart. The Postman’s valiant climber has rallied and a few flowers are now blooming! And something really scary there are now only 38 days until Christmas!

Snowy Ride kids day out Once again the Lake Crackenback Resort hosted an afternoon of fun filled activities for some of the children and their families from the oncology wards. After arriving on the back of motorcycles, some lucky families were treated to a scenic flight in a Navy helicopter over the Snowy
Mountains. Then they could try their hand at archery, paddle around the lake in a canoe or paddle boat, ride the mountain bikes or jump on the trampolines. After an afternoon of activities the kids then once again rode on the motorbikes to Thredbo for the 10th annual Snowy Ride.

Cockatiels These medium sized birds are simply a delight to keep. Members of the parrot family, these Australian natives are known for their surprisingly advanced whistling and singing abilities. While cockatiels are capable of learning to talk, many owners find that their birds prefer to whistle, and tend to mimic quirky, random sounds such as the ringing of a telephone. These birds are available in increasingly diverse colour combinations and have an average life expectancy of between 15 and 20 years. These birds are available at the Cooma Pet Shop p

In week two of this term, Bombala High School students from 9/10 Agriculture, 11 Primary and 11 Agriculture travelled to Orange to attend the Australian National Field Days. On the first day they attended talks from the Australian Wheat Board, examining the new and outclassed winter wheat varieties, examined fertiliser trials, viewed tillage demonstrations of minimum till drills, and deep rippers, and participated in the junior judging competition which involved assessing, fibres, sheep, cattle and grains. The second day they examined different breeds of sheep and various technologies associated with sheep handling. They participated in a shearing demonstration and then were given excellent instruction on the tasks of the rousabout and the wool skirter. Another machinery demonstration followed, with new haymaking technology reviewed. During the two days the students also had free time to explore demonstrations and

Accommodation was organised at the Colour City Caravan Park and apart from the first nights meal at Pizza Hut, all meals were organised by the students. Evening activities included a visit to the movies and ten pin bowling. While the students were certainly in high spirits on the bus trip there, the above full schedule (and the 6am start) meant that the bus trip home was a little more quiet and subdued. The behaviour of the students was impeccable throughout the four days, and from my observations, were one of the more focused school groups attending the field days. Thank you to Ms Mackey who also accompanied the students and helped make the experience possible.

New Zealand with Snowliner Coaches - Jenny Evans Leaving Cooma behind, we journey to Sydney to catch our flight to Auckland. Sydney is experiencing more rain and after a delay due to weather we arrive in Auckland to be greeted by our driver come tour manager, Brian. Auckland is our overnight accommodation before heading north. Sunday and our tour really begins as we head north to the Bay of Isles. We journey over the Auckland Harbour Bridge which in recent years has had an extension put on it increasing the lanes in each direction. This extension was successfully completed by a Japanese firm and is locally referred to as the Nippon Clipon. Our first stop was at the Parry Kauri Park to get our first glimpse of the famed kauri trees. The landscape is magnificent, rolling hills with beautiful green grass that the stock are thriving on. Just imagine driving along and the next thing you see are pink sheep, just what are the Kiwi’s up to now! A local farmer who tragically lost his wife to breast cancer, each year now dyes his sheep pink to emphasise breast cancer awareness week. Don’t worry it is a vegetable dye and does not harm the sheep. The Matakohe Kauri Museum is our next stop where we enjoyed a talk from one of the enthusiastic museum volunteers. The size of the Kauri trees are unbelievable and are now in short supply so the felling of live trees is now banned. Instead the industry revolves around finding the trees that have been buried in swamps for thousands of years, hauling them out and then making wonderful furniture or the little souvenirs that tourists are so interested in. Some of the trees have been carbon dated to 45,000 years, a rather incredible age. This timber is now referred to as swamp kauri. This museum also has a climatically controlled area for displaying kauri gum which is the resin that bleeds from the tree following an injury. During this bleeding stage insects are often caught and preserved. Many of our travellers enjoyed the display of restored machinery including a steam sawmill. The Kauri Clock Factory at Whangarei had thousands of clocks of all shapes and sizes on display. Our final stop for the day was
at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds which overlook the Bay of Islands. It was here on 6th February 1840 that the Treaty of Waitangi was first signed between Maori and the British Crown. Here we enjoyed a talk on the local area including The Treaty House and its design and Ngatokimatawhaorua – one of the world’s largest Maori ceremonial war canoes. This canoe is 35 metres long and was made from three massive kauri trees. It requires a minimum of 75 paddlers to handle it safely on the water and Maori tradition only allows men in the canoe. Home for the next two nights is the Kingsgate at Paihia with beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. Monday is a free day to do as we please. Max, Ray and John went fishing but alas the dolphins had more luck than them. Many enjoyed supporting the economy of Paihia with several others taking the ferry ride across the bay to Russell which was at one point in time the capital of New Zealand. Fourteen hardy soles got up early to travel to the most northern point of New Zealand, Cape Reinga. One stop on the way was at the Ancient Kauri Kingdom. The feature here was that the ‘Kingdom’ was designed around the butt of a Kauri tree. The butt was placed on the block of ground and carved by chainsaw for two months to install steps within, another two months refined the steps and then the museum was built around the butt which is how you now access the first floor. Cape Reinga is a spiritual place for the Maori people. After dying their spirits travel to the Cape on their way to their traditional homeland of Hawaiki-a-nui. It is said that if the spirits sip the water flowing from the creek here they will continue on their way, if not they are destined to stay in New Zealand. After walking down to the lighthouse at the Cape and then struggling back we are on our way again. The sport of sand dune surfing created the ‘awesome foursome’ the worse part was climbing the sand dune. After the experience Gerald and Kaye looked more like a sand dune themselves!! We are now driving through salt water in a half million dollar vehicle, as we travel along 90 mile beach which was actually used as a runway in 1932 for some of the earliest airmail
services between Australia and New Zealand. After this journey the vehicle was taken to the nearest wash down facilities. We arrived back at the motel after our hair raising adventure. Tuesday morning we join a luxury catamaran to cruise the Bay of Islands (there are 144 stunning islands in the group). Although we started in fog, it was not long and the weather was glorious. The Hole in the Rock it was easily navigated through. During the cruise we enjoyed the varied island landscapes and were also entertained my numerous dolphins. Leaving Paihia behind we retrace our steps back to Auckland for a tour around the scenic waterfront areas and then the look out at Mt Eden (an extinct volcano) which has a 360-degree panoramic view of Auckland. Before farewelling Auckland we made a visit to the Sky Tower, rising 328m from ground level and one of the tallest buildings in the Southern Hemisphere. You can travel up to the observation deck in 40 seconds via a glass lift and look below you via the glass walkway. If you were really game you could sky jump back to ground level – lucky it was closed while we were there! Peak hour traffic is now over so we leave Auckland bound for Rotorua travelling Highway 1. Along the way we drive through what is called Fitzgerald Glade, this is a small area of forest like vegetation. It is claimed that every variety of tree and shrub in New Zealand is growing here, the area is approximately 150mts x 2kms. Owing to its uniqueness the owner has given section of land to the local Council in the hope that it will be kept as it is for future generations. We have noted that cemeteries are often on high lots of land. Maori culture believes that the head of the tribe should be buried in the highest point so they can continue to look after their family members. Visiting Rainbow Springs where all the fishermen amongst us would have liked a rod and line, trout of all sizes were swimming leisurely around the pools. Trout in New Zealand are only available for the amateur fisherman, they cannot be purchased in shops or eaten in restaurants. Rainbow Springs are involved
in the Kiwi recovery programme and we saw Kiwis in their habitat (once we adjusted our eyesight to the darkness). A visit to Te Puia is a must in Rotorua where you can see geysers, mud pools and of course enjoy that sulphur smell! Which I do believe is lessening over the years, or maybe we are becoming more accustomed to it. Tonight we enjoyed a traditional Maori concert where Max had to be the leader or our group and accept our welcome from the Maori’s. At the end of the show some of our ladies showed their talent (or lack of) with the poi balls and four game men performed the Hakka. Day 6 and we have seen so much with so much still to enjoy. On our free day in Rotorua many enjoyed a Duck tour around the town which also took us out to Blue and Green Lakes. Ron, Lexie and John enjoyed visiting the Cat Museum – a private collection of Caterpillar machinery not matched elsewhere in the world. Many enjoyed a visit to the thermal pools which is suppose to make you look 20 years younger! Ann is our birthday girl today with a wonderful birthday cake to enjoy. An impromptu concert was held after tea with Ron leading us on the guitar and Gerald on the singing. Brian’s welcome each morning is Kia Ora to which sometimes we reply gidday! Heading off this morning our first stop is at the Wairakei Geothermal Steam Field where wells up to 2000 metres deep tap into zones of hot fluid, at temperatures of 230-260oC. This area has been producing power since 1958. From here we visit the Huka Falls.
At the Huka Falls, the Waikato River which is normally 100m wide, is squeezed through a 20 metre wide gorge and over a 20m drop. Every second up to 220,000 litres of water gushes through the gorge. From here a lunch time stop is made in Taupo then on to the Fruit Bowl of New Zealand, Hawkes Bay and our overnight accommodation at Napier – all our rooms had wonderful views over Hawke Bay. Napier is known as the Art Deco capital of the world. On February 3, 1931, most of Napier was leveled by an earthquake. The collapse of buildings and the ensuing fires killed 258 people. The centre of the town was destroyed by the earthquake, after which the current town was rebuilt in the Art Deco style popular at that time. Some 4000 hectares of today’s Napier were undersea before the earthquake raised it up above sea level but this area still has a salinity problem today. The grass is still green, the roads windy, the countryside mountainous and the stock fatter than ever. Today we visit Southward Car Museum a comprehensive private collection of vehicles, bikes and pushbikes throughout the ages. The combined value of the collection is unknown. To be continued…

New Home Lending Continues Downhill Run Higher interest rates and the removal of the First Home Owners Boost has seen September mark a further fall in new home lending, said the Housing Industry Association, the voice of Australia’s residential building industry. HIA Senior Economist, Andrew Harvey, said that in September 2010 the number of loans for the construction or purchase of new homes fell by 0.7 per cent to be down more than 33 per cent from the peak in October 2009. “Housing finance leads dwelling starts by around six months, so today’s finance numbers mean we can expect building approvals and starts to continue along their downward trajectories over coming quarters,� said Andrew Harvey. “Lending for new homes continues to be below trend and highlights the problem the nation is now facing in terms of a two-speed economy. It’s great that the mining sector is about to take off like an Aston Martin DB9, but unfortunately we have the residential building industry stuck in neutral,� Mr Harvey noted. The weaker outlook for residential construction was further highlighted yesterday by the Treasury markedly downgrading its forecasts for dwelling investment in its Mid-year Economic and Fiscal Outlook. “In light of the weakening housing outlook, the Federal Government needs to examine how it might achieve a more balanced growth profile across various sectors, particularly in the face of tightening monetary policy, which is a fairly blunt instrument,� added Andrew Harvey. The number of loans for the purchase of new dwellings fell by 3.2 per cent in September 2010 to be down by 19.7 per cent on September 2009. The
number of loans for construction rose by 0.5 per cent in September 2010 but is down by 33.5 per cent on September 2009. Over the three months to September 2010 total housing loans dropped by 24.3 per cent compared to the same period in 2009. First home buyer loans were down by 52.9 per cent, while trade up buyer loans fell by 14.6 per cent. In seasonally adjusted terms, in September 2010 the total number of owner occupier loans fell by 1.4 per cent in Victoria and by 0.5 per cent 781ha / 1930ac - Kosciuszko NP adjacent. in Queensland.

BUSINESS OF THE WEEK High Country Kitchens - Ph: 6452 7833 High Country Kitchens have only been in business for a short time, but the demand and interest in custom designed kitchens and cabinets, has Norman Moers and his staff busy. Norman has been in the cabinet making and furniture industry for the past 20 years and has worked in the local area for most of it. He saw the demand for custom made kitchens and felt it was time to venture out on his own. Cabinet making and furniture has been in his family for years and he feels he knows what works when it comes to designing for a specific space. Norman and his staff are also in the process of designing and implementing a show room in order
for customers to see firsthand what is possible. Norman’s strong principle is how a kitchen is designed and installed. From quality made kitchens, laundries, wardrobes and vanities HCK can cater for your needs. From commercial to residential, High Country Kitchens cover the whole Monaro region and are more than happy to provide you with a free quote. Contact Norman and his team. For more information, call in or contact Norman on 6452 7833.

Claire’s Carousel Welcome, readers, to Claire’s Carousel where I invite you to join me as I explore some of the social events and community happenings in our region. If you would like to tell me of your special outings or have community events coming up please phone me on 6452 3137, mobile 0434 352 992 or email spray5@optusnet.com. au A LITLE BIT OF HEAVEN 15 children made their First Holy Communion last Sunday at St Patrick’s Church, Cooma – a very moving, ceremony. Each Child was supported by parents and friends. The music and singing in the backgroud was very moving as each child dressed in a white cloak proceeded to the altar to receive their First Holy Communion. Next Saturday another 13 children will receive the same sacrament and another two children on Sunday at Nimitabel Catholic Church. Many thanks to Lou Mackay and others for the efficient organisation and instruction to the children. Many tears were shed as older parishioners remembered their “Special Day” too. RSPCA RSPCA will be holding a cake stall next Saturday November
20 outside GIO office in Sharp Street commencing 9am. All money raised goes to our local RSPCA. Can you assist by donating, cakes, biscuits, muffins etc.?

COOMA Twin Cinema 76 Commissioner Street Friday 19th November – Super Tuesday 23rd November 2010
Riposte Lisa Ashurst I was thinking about Murphy’s Law over the weekend. I’m not really sure who Murphy was but he must have been a canny sort of bloke because he seemed to know a lot about everything that could possibly go wrong and could even predict when it would be most likely to happen. What had me thinking about him though was the weather reports stating rain was going to be the deal for the next several days, the fact that, while cloudy it hadn’t exactly rained as yet and that the grass in my yard had shot up like you wouldn’t believe since the last spate of rain. The dilemma was (a) should I trust to luck and leave the grass for a few more days while I completed more urgent tasks or (b) nick outside and do it while the going was good. The thought kept nagging because that little inner voice warned that should I ignore the state of the grass the skies would open before the day was over and wouldn’t close again till December and the next time I stepped outside I would be lost forever in the jungle that used to be the front yard. I tried
really hard not to even think about what might happen out the back! When I couldn’t stand it anymore I leapt up from the computer and ran outside to do the dash with the lawnmower before it could happen but somewhere in the back of my mind I knew that it wouldn’t rain at all now because I’d done the dash, etc. It’s the same with the washing. Leave it on the line because hey, it’ll be fine till the morning and the biggest storm to ever hit town will not only leave your nice dry washing drenched to within an inch of its life, it will also rip it from the line and send it to parts unknown for good measure. Bring it in, though, in case such a storm should strike and the skies will remain peacefully clear for days and nights on end. Murphy’s Law apparently! Meanwhile, I’m not quite out of the jungle yet because I’ve yet to tackle backyard and I swear the grass out there grows a few more inches every time I turn my back. Rather thick and lush, now that I’ve taken a better look, and for a minute there the other day I thought I’d lost the chooks, but I’m sure they’re still around because I keep hearing muffled chook noises coming from various spots throughout the greenery... ...I’d better be real careful where I mow.

Nudes, figures and portraits at Polo Red Friday November 5, saw the opening night of the new exhibition at Polo Red Gallery entitled, “Nudes, Figures and Portraits”. It is a visually stunning show of 30 works from artists in and around Cooma. The standard is excellent, showcasing a large variety of styles and scale. For instance, works on paper go from small sketches of nudes to 2m charcoal figures. There was much interest in Chis Lawler’s large yellow man, as well as Hanna Kael’s 2m high face of an African child. Gallery Director, Ian Pfeffer, said that the figure and the nude are still essentials in fine art as they are the first human experience. Every child learns its mother’s face first. The figure is used to represent all parts of the human condition.” This must-see exhibition runs until November 28 and the Gallery is open Wed-Sun 10.30 to 5.30pm.
Eaglesrealm Alpacas Imported from Chile and Peru some 16 years ago, the alpaca is now farmed very successfully in many states and regions of Australia, and does particularly well on the Monaro. Alpacas are grown primarily for their fleece, a luxury natural fibre which has wonderful thermal properties and is very lightweight – it was known as “the fibre of the Gods” in Peru in the time of the Inca civilisation. Alpaca wethers also work extensively as sheep or herd protectors in Australia – they guard newborns in the flock against fox and eagle attack in lambing season. At Eaglesrealm, we have been breeding quality fleece producing huacaya alapacas over the past
7 years. Many of our stock have been multiple show champion ribbon winners, and are true to type with correct and robust conformation, good temperament and reliable breeders. Special alpaca sales packages are offered with agistment available. Quality raw fleece in white, light fawn and dark fawn is available for sale. This fleece is much sought after for hand spinning and felting. We welcome your enquiries and farm visits are encouraged, by appointment. Contact Lynne & Ray Dominish on 6454 6180 for further information or view our website: w w w. e a g l e s re a l m a l p a c a s @ bigpond.com

Small schools day Sustainable living is the theme for 2010, so last Tuesday six small schools from around the region congregated at Numeralla Public School to learn more about it. Approximately 130 students from Numeralla, Adaminaby, Dalgety, Nimmitabel, Jerangle and Bredbo all took part in a day of learning, fun and making new friends. Numeralla Public School is fortunate enough to have a Stephanie Alexander kitchen garden, so one of the activities was cooking with produce from the garden. The students were divided into mixed groups of
schools and ages. They had two rotations of activities which were selected by drawing them out of a hat, as there were too many activities for everyone to all have a go of. Some of the activities on offer were waste and water, garden groups, kitchen groups, solar and renewable energy, saving water and building sculptures from recycled items. Bounda Environmental Education Centre were also there to help the teachers and parents.

Cats continue on winning track
The Cats in action during the 2010 season. The Cooma Cats Australian Rules Football Club has re-elected unopposed Dave Paterson as it Club President for Season 2011 in a vote of confidence in the successful direction the Cats have been moving in recent years. The Cats held their Annual General Meeting at Dodds Hotel earlier this month, Novemebr 8, to start the planning for next year. On re-election as president, Dave reaffirmed the Cats’ mission to make AFL available to everyone in the region through a family-focused, community-based sporting club. “Our mission at the Cooma Cats is to bring AFL football to the region so anyone who wants to be involved in our Australian game in any capacity can have the opportunity to do so,” Dave said. The Cats reflected on what had been a very successful year on and off the field as they grew to expand their junior player base and enhance the Club’s profile. “As a club, we are going from strength to strength,” Dave said. “We are in a sound financial position, we are improving our on field success at senior level, and our junior Under 14 side made the finals this year in only its second year in the AFL Canberra competition,” Dave said. The Cooma Cats have been undergoing a significant refocusing and development program in the past few years in their efforts to take an on
ambassadorial role for AFL in the region. “We are committed to providing everyone who wants to play or be involved in AFL, no matter their skills, gender or background, the chance to so,” Dave said. “We are also committed to maintaining our reputation as a family-focused, community-based club which represents our region well,” he said. The Cooma Cats are looking at expanding the opportunity for younger players to play in the AFL Canberra competition next year. “Our Under 14 side has been very successful in two years, with one of our players coming second in the competition’s Under 14 Best and Fairest Award which was a fantastic achievement,” Dave said. “Ideally, we’d like to have an Under 12 and Under 16 side in the future to provide a complete pathway for junior footballer who would like to one day play at a senior level,” he said. Dave also played tribute to the Club’s loyal sponsors and supporters. “Our sponsors and supporters are a great group help us bring our great game to the region. We look forward to returning their loyalty through striving to improve the Club even more in 2011,” he said. Dave encourages anyone interested in becoming involved in AFL football in the region to contact him on 0438 089 758.
Vochteloo is new cycle club president The Cooma Cycling Club held its AGM on November 9 and our new president is Wouter Vochteloo. The club’s summer program of cycling will soon be out and we look forward to a great season. The Club no longer conducts cycle races, it is too small a group to set up and man road races as per the relative requirements, however we are very active in social rides and also general training rides, also our members are active in most major charity cycle events. Cooma Cycling Club is very committed to promote cycling in the Cooma area, the club meet every Saturday at Centennial Park car park for a 4pm start. There are also rides on Wednesday afternoon and for those who can make it, a very social group that have
a short ride Monday and Thursday mornings and of course a very long coffee break after. New members are always welcome, inquires can be made to the president Wouter Vochteloo on 6452 7331 AH or our secretary Mark Robertson on 6452 5583 AH. It’s worth noting that Cooma has had a long association with cycling. It was way back at the start of the 20th century that two local brothers, Tom and Mark Robinson, had wins in the Classic Goulburn to Sydney road race. Tom won in 1904, and Mark won the 1905 and 1908 events, the machines and clothing have changed dramatically but the passion for road cycling has never been stronger.

Cooma U/15s too good for Grammar The under 15’s Cooma cricket side travelled to play Grammar at Grammar on Saturday for a 20/20 match. In hot steamy conditions Cooma were sent to bat and from the second ball of the match Harry Roach hit a six to show the Grammar team that they should have batted first.

Inclement weather causes cancellation The weather caused our first cancellation of the season last Thursday, without anyone taking to the track. Three of our athletes ventured to Canberra on the weekend for the ACT Little A’s multievent championship titles at Bruce AIS track. Taylah Maurier (U/8 Girl), Jordan Davis (U/8 Boy) and Jordan Louis (U/12 Boy) kept Cooma’s colours flying as they encountered stiff opposition with a large field of athletes in their respective age groups. It was the first time that either of the U/8’s had competed on a synthetic track, which some athletes take longer to adjust to, plus the noise generated from the grandstand. Taylah Maurier came 13th out of a field of 19, with a total of 226 points. Taylah produced two PB’s in the four-event competition and produced a quality time in an event we don’t hold at our regular weekly competition in the form of the 60m. In the long jump, Taylah managed to leap just on 90% of this seasons PB to record a 2.3m leap, scoring 93 points towards her total and getting her 12th place in this event. Taylah finished second in her heat of the 60m in 13.26 sec earning herself 18 points and ninth overall for this event. By the times Taylah has been running at our weekly comp, she was a bit down on form on the day. Taylah picked up a PB in the 200m and finished fifth in the first heat, racking up 21 points and coming in 14th place with 44.13 sec. The shot put event is one of Taylah’s favorite events and she excelled with a heave of 4.13m to produce her second PB of the day and received 94 points for her effort. Mean while, our other U/8 athlete Jordan Davis was having a mixed day. As well as picking up two PB’s and two events well below his normal competition standard. Jordan finished seventh with 395 points out of 31 contestants, “Great effort well done Jordan”. Jordan posted a second in the third heat of the 60m in 12.85 sec (31 points) and finished in seventh place for the event. In the 200m event Jordan placed third in the third heat and earned 97 points, with a massive PB just short of four seconds to stop the clock on 38.20 sec. Jordan’s PB up to this run was 42.17 sec for the 200m, now breaking through the 40 second barrier he needs to be reproducing that time on our track. Jordan scored a third to be in the top three placings with another PB in the long jump reaching 3m the for the first time, earning himself 142 points. He topped off a good days work when he placed third in the shot put with 125 points and a distance of 5.02m. This was well down on his 5.71m from last weeks Cooma comp performance. Our third and final athlete at these championships was U/12 boy Jordan Louis. The events for Jordan’s age group are a little different than the other two athletes. Jordan finished seventh overall with 831 points and two PB’s out of 25 competitors. The first event was the 800m; he produced a mammoth performance in clocking 2m55.99 sec an excellent PB of 25 seconds to claim 227 points. These points put Jordan in 10th place after the first event. Jordan picked up his second PB in the 100m in 16 sec via the second heat and chalking up 136 points but slumping to 14th placing overall. Jordan picked up two placings in long jump where he recorded a legal jump of 3.42m earning him 174 points.
There was a major problem in the first event; the discus, due to a mix up of thrower markers and the event was rescheduled to be the last event. With discus now the last event on the day for Jordan and this being one of his favorite events, he was expecting he would have a good chance of taking out this event. The leaders on the point’s table were miles in front and it would be impossible to make any impression on the top three placings. At the conclusion of the event, Jordan was in first place with 24.20m throw that earned him 294 points and shot him up the ladder five positions, on the overall leader board where he finished in seventh place.

Berridale too strong at home for Cats Berridale recorded a 10-wicket win over the Cooma Cats at Berridale last Saturday. The Cats won the toss and elected to bat under cloudy and slow conditions. The young opening attack bowled great lines to the Cats batsmen and runs were at a premium. Laurence Redmond (3-14) got the early wicket thanks to a great one-handed catch at point from Daniel Robinson. M Green (55) joned D Asanovski (9) and the run rate increasef as Green attacked anything over-pitched. The Cats were getting back ino a
handy position when they had a mini batting collapse, losing two quick woickets. J Kinsella (15) joined Green at the crease and went about rebuilding the stumbling Cats innings. The Berriale boys worked hard in the field and with a few catches just landing out of reach of fielders and a few near runouts, the boys could have dropped their heads but they continued to chase hard and back each other up, keeping the pressure on the Cats batsmen. The breakthrough came when Simon Freebody (3-10) removed the middle
stump of the danger batsman Green. The Cats innings never recovered from there and the Cats were eventualy dismissed in the 32nd over for 101. This was always going to be a tough score to defend at Berridale. The Cats bowlers threw everything at the Berridale opening pair of B Hearn (54 no) and A O’Keeffe (48 no) but were unable to get a wicket as Hearn and O’Keeffe palyed well, waiting for the bad ball and running hard between the wicket.

The next game was at the International Stadium in Rotorua the following week, October 30. Unfortunately the Junior Kangaroos were no match for the Junior Kiwis this time, losing 3620, taking the series to one game each. “This
has been a great experience for Sam, playing with the best players in Australia, with some even representing first grade. He has loved every second of it,” his father Mark, said.
Semi finalists decided in bowls triples Cooma bowlers braved the rain that fell from mid afternoon on Sunday to complete the quarter finals of the triples championship. To their credit the standard of play was very good with some very tense matches played. The very welcome recent rain held off on Sunday until all four matches in were at the half way mark. While the rain was light to start with it gradually got heavier but the bowlers were resolved to finish their games. In a real nail biter, the game between Mick Mayhew (sub for Mick Meillon), Robbie Roberson and Bob Lahy and Rod Hassall, Keith Goodwin and Artur Baumhammer was decided on the last end. The game was a tight tussle throughout. At no stage was the difference more than four shots. The sides traded the lead several times. With one end to play, and the rain getting heavier, the scores were locked at 18 all. Lahy’s side held their nerve and were able to score three shots on this end to win 21 – 18. Ross Russell, Waynne Lodge and Mel Storta had the ideal start in their game with Neil McGregor, Mark Buckley and Paul Schulz. Storta played an exceptional bowl to give his side a 5 shot start. They held the advantage despite some excellent heads and after 15 ends looked home at 24 – 10. But a game is never over. Schulz’s side rallied and won the next seven ends and looked a real chance at 24 – 21. The next two ends typified the game. All six bowlers played excellent bowls in very trying conditions. Storta’s side prevailed in both ends to run out winners 27 – 21. Storta will now play Baumhammer in one semi final. The second semi will be played between John Vincent, Tony Gray and Kim Weston and Peter Marsicano,
C
Terry Croker and Peter Caldwell after these two sides at good wins in their matches. Weston continued his recent good form as he steered his team to an impressive win over the defending champions Bob Lowe (sub for Sergio Roncelli), Jack Sajina and Paul Cannell. This game was very close for the first 16 ends with the teams locked at 12 all. Weston then took control. His team won the next five ends to race to a 21 – 12 lead. They finished well to win 23 – 17. Caldwell’s side combined very well and controlled their game with Ron Wainwright, Dennis Sellars and Jim Fletcher. They had a good start and lead 5 – 0 after three ends. Fletcher’s side battled hard but could not capitalise on their chances. Caldwell was able to defend well when needed and maintained a handy buffer throughout. They finally won 22 – 12. Social bowlers also braved the rain on Sunday with the winners being Gaile Fitzgerald, Mario Frezza and Dawn Russell and Daphne Buckley, Richard Nichols and Ignazio Mondello. On Saturday Ron Wainwright and Don Jarvis and Helen Peuker, Cobber Seears and Richard Nichols were the winners. Next weekend district bowls will hold centre stage with the last round of the Monaro Clubs Challenge on Saturday and the first rounds of the mixed pairs on Sunday. Jindabyne will host the Challenge while games in the mixed pairs will be played at Nimmitabel and Cooma. The draw for the mixed pairs is available at all clubs. The Cooma side for the last round of the Challenge is: P Marsicano, L Snell, G D’Amico, K Weston, N McGregor, C Roberson, P Caldwell, M Buckley and J Schoon.
