Alana Greig and Alastair Wharton recently graduated from the University of Technology being awarded a Batchelor of Arts in Communication. Both Alana and Alastair majored in film production. They are pictured here with a very proud Ian Greig who aside from being Alanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad also taught both students in year 11 and 12 at Monaro High School in Extension English and Drama. It was in those two subjects that Alana and Alastair honed their skills in film making, both of them getting top bands in Drama and Extension English at the HSC. They are both very grateful for the opportunities the school afforded them. It allowed them to get into the

course at the University which required students to achieve an admission mark of above 95 on 2008. Alana was also supported in her studies at University by the Monaro Education Foundation. Both students are furthering their studies in the film industry. Alastair is continuing to do freelance wok on a number of film projects. Alana was one of only six people selected for the Editing course at the Australian Film and Television School which adjoins Fox Studios which has produced such luminaries as Jane Campion, Samantha Lang and Chris Noonan. Her achievements to date in this very intensive course have been outstanding.

Yallambee benefits from Call Centre demise Pictured at the presentation of $20,000 to Yallambee Lodge from the Cooma Call Centre last Monday night, are, from left, Mayor Dean Lynch, Neil Watt, Margaret Clifford, Roger Norton and Tony Kaltoum.

Exacta Jackpot

Yallambee Lodge has received a $20,000 windfall from the now defunct Cooma Call Centre. The presentation was made before the June 12 meeting of Cooma-Manor Shire Council. The call centre was closed down late last year due to a loss of contracts and an uncertain future. But as the business had been profitable for its 12 years of operation, its closure meant the proceeds from its winding up were available to assist a local group, with Yallambee being the lucky recipient. Chairman of the call centre management board Roger Norton, said the centre had been established

to provide another industry for Cooma and to ultimately attract the Defence call centre. He said more than $3million in contracts had been serviced by the centre over its 12 years. He said he was very pleased with the work done by the staff in fulfilling all its contracts. Chairman of Yallambee, Tony Kaltoum, said the presentation was a great gift to the centre, assisting its senior residents, who, he said, “made this town what it is today”. Call centre manager Margaret Clifford paid tribute to her staff, who, she said, had all worked well and had been able to put their training to good use.

She said the problem for the centre was overseas competition which the centre could not overcome. Mayor Dean Lynch also paid tribute to the centre, saying it was very sad to see it close, but ultimately it has benefited the community. Former council general manger Neil Watt, who was closely involved with establishing the call centre and a member of the management board, said it had been great to see the centre established, with people ‘coming out of the woodwork’ to assist its establishment and development. “It has been a long and exciting road” he said, “but it’s sad to see it go”.

Emergency Services report A 19-year-old Cooma female was arrested at 5.15pm on Friday for a ‘revocation of parole warrant’. She is now in Silverwater Correctional Centre serving the remainder of her original sentence. On Friday at 4.30pm a 58-year-old Cooma female was issued with infringement notices for having two children occupying the same seat belt in her motor vehicle. An 18-year-old male from Yass was issued with a criminal infringement notice at 7.15pm on Saturday in Dawson Street Cooma for offensive conduct. A number of people had to be removed by police from Rhythm Ski Hire in Sharp Street Cooma at 1.30am on Saturday. The males

were moved on for anti social behaviour. A 22-year-old male from the ACT was arrested on Sunday at 1.45am. After being continuously refused entry to a hotel in Cooma, he continued to act in an offensive manner. He was charged with resist and hinder police, offensive language and refusing a direction to move on. He will appear in Cooma Local Court at a later date. At 11.40pm on Sunday along the “Frog in a hole fire trail” at Numeralla a 45-year-old male was thrown while riding his trail bike injuring his shoulder. The 4WD ambulance was used to retrieve the injured male from the heavily wooded area and transported him to Cooma Hospital for treatment.

Kimberleys & WA: 18 Aug - 20 Sept

Pictured from left are Nimmitabel Garden Club members John Caldwell and Sue Jardine, with MEIS committee members Robyn Boyce, Rhonda Howie and Ron Abela The Nimmitabel District and Garden Club held a very successful Open Gardens event recently and welcomed at least 500 visitors, with people travelling in from all around the local region as well as from Canberra and beyond. The rain stayed away so everyone was able wander at their leisure through the beautiful gardens, which were looking wonderful after all the rain across the region over the last few months, and the Club is very thankful to Trisha Dixon-Burkitt, Anne and Howard Charles and Sally and John Cottle for opening their gardens gates for the event.

The members of the Garden Club nominated to donate the money raised from the event’s gate takings, morning tea, lunch, plant stall and raffle to three worthy organisations and one of the recipients was the Monaro Early Intervention Service (MEIS) who gratefully accepted a cheque for $2000 from Garden Club President, Ms Sue Jardine and Mr John Caldwell. MEIS President, Ms Robyn Boyce, along with Director, Rhonda Howie and Treasurer, Ron Abela, were very pleased with the donation and no doubt it will be put to very good use.

A snapshot of NSW – Census data to be released What makes NSW unique? On June 21 the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) will release the first results of the 2011 Census of Population and Housing. In 2006 Census data showed that NSW had a population of 6,549,177 with the highest percentage of unit/apartments dwellings in Australia (19 per cent). 2011 Census data will now show how the State has changed over the past five years. Ever since people filled out their Census forms on August 9

last year, the ABS has been hard at work turning the state’s 1.6 million paper Census forms and 889,535 eCensus submissions into the data that will help shape New South Wales’ future over the next five years. NSW Census Director, Mark Harding, said the ABS is encouraging everyone to make use of Australia’s richest source of statistical information. “Census data is available free online and can be used for a wide range of purposes. “It provides high level data on important topics such as populations, rents, mortgages, incomes, religion, languages, housing and more. “Many people think Census data is just something used by Government, but it is also an invaluable tool used in many different ways by many different people,” Mr Harding said. 76 Commissioner Street “Businesses, charities, religious and community groups, schools and individuals can all use CLOSED Thursday, Monday & Wednesday Friday 22nd June – Super Tuesday 26th June 2012 Census data to help with their planning or just to get a better understanding of their community. “The Census is the only truly national snapshot of Australia, shedding some light on who we are, and where and how we live,” he added. Data from the 2011 Census of Population and Housing will be available on the ABS website from 11.30am on June 21. Visit www.abs.gov.au/ census WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN

postman calls

Anyone out there believe we should all be allowed, and encouraged, to dob in an idiot? Good. In that case The Postman would like to make mention of the white 4WD station wagon, driving along Bombala Street, whose occupants thought nothing about throwing out Macca’s wrappers, a cigarette and further along, a drink container – all in broad daylight. By the way, did we mention the red ‘P Plate’ on the vehicle? Then there was the motorist who overtook a car almost of the crest of Mt Gladstone heading towards Cooma. A few hundred metres along, they did the same thing over double unbroken lines, then, just before Cooma Back Creek bridge, overtook another car on the wrong side of the road, then sped up Sharp Street. Were they in a hurry to get to the hospital, one asks? Or just impatient and reckless? Then there were the hoons wasting tyre rubber on burnouts around town late Saturday night and Sunday monring. They must have a lot of spare cash to use on tyre replacement. It was good to see some Golden Oldies back in town last weekend to celebrate the Cooma Red Devils 10th premiership anniversary. Some of them even pulled on a pair of footy boots for a bit of a lap of Rotary Oval. Some didn’t of course, and some who did didn’t even get mud on their knees (as their non-playing mates pointed out, Jamo). But win, lose or draw, rugby was the winner on the day. But The Postman is guessing there was a spike in sales on liniment and painkillers on Sunday. Nice to see Wallaby Phil Waugh, guest speaker at the gentlemen’s lunch, sticking around for the matches too.

Wednesday June 20, 2012

Discontented with LHPA Editor, On May 30 you had an article called “Call to reject LHPA report “. It looked absolutely terrific, for the uninitiated of the real history and promises by the creator of this unique authority with delegated legislated powers beyond anyone’s dreams; extreme constructivism conceived by no other than, ex Minister Ian Macdonald and Tony Kelly as they are or were of the same clique as reported in the Sydney Morning Herald and look where they are today, trying to justify their past actions. So they should, and all other politicians that create detrimental legislations that are not for the benefit for the whole community. I cannot understand how the NSW Farmers President, Ms Fiona Simpson can honestly justify the whole article and comments, with all the past Opposition State wide, eg. protest meeting held at Nimmitabel according to my memory also at almost every other locality state wide; even the then quote “Minister Macdonald agrees there is a problem with LHPA rates “ -THE RURAL week ending Friday May- 1 - 2009, page 3; there is also an article called “Backlash could lead to election boycott”. The Election of the chairman and vice chairman and others was not by the ratepayers but non paying, unknown persons. The whole election process is an enigma. Our objections were answered “saties Eloquentiae, sapientiae parum; suppressio vei, suggestio falsi; summum jusi, summa jura; qui tacet consenti !” I even have a reply from ex Minister Ian Macdonald with GOLD embossed letterhead for your perusal according to the Fee Simple Deed you can’t incur

any debt unless you ask for service yet our rates are based on “Notional Carrying Capacity and Notional Intensive Carrying Capacity”. The LHPA in their ingenuity send out a “Question and answer sheet” you have to read them to believe them based completely, academic bureaucratic market jargon. The base charge is similar to a -Flag Fall - in a Taxi. It is a uniform charge on all rateable land., NOT TRUE - every Areas have different ha. and different general and animal rates (regulation 2005 # 859 )Cooma ; 4/ha, general rate $70.00; animal 28.50; Bombala 10/ha, $44.55, $ 26.70; Braidwood $51.19, $45.44. Our rates went up by 60 percent at changeover and to date this rate increase has not been explained, others went up even more. We are not classified as primary producers but classified as HOBBYIST. During the drought we paid out of our savings for fodder, we received No assistance from LHPA. I have signed a Petition compiled by a Mr. Trevor Kirk CPA FCIS. This was presented to our Federal member Mike Kelly. This petition is based on the unconstitutionally LPHA rates flouting the Australian Constitution by imposing mandatory “landholder- funded excises on only some rural properties. “To compel a man to subsidise with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical” quote by Thomas Jefferson third President of the United States of America 1743-1826. Cooma RLPB flyer dated 2008 -volume #2, “$$$$$SAVINGS of “ $ 8.3 million where they are is Unknown to date Artur Baumhammer Peak View

Power promises can’t be trusted Editor, For those that can remember the year 2000, Bob Carr was the Premier of NSW and decided to amalgamate our local Monaro County Council. He fired the directors and claimed that we would have cheaper electricity and better service. He took the seven million dollars the council had in reserve, got rid of most of the plant and staff and sold the building and did no new infrastructure and only minimal maintenance. Poles were not replaced and supported with steel plates and posts driven in and around the poles. As one ex-retired staff told me if we ever have a decent snowfall on the

Monaro, one pole would fall over it would bring down the rest in that area like a pack of cards. There has been an increase in charges every year since and still going up. It appears the Labour government never did a thing for 16 years as this is why we are paying more for it now.

Blokes do health check at the Men’s Shed Thursday June 14 was a health check-up day for the men at the Cooma Men’s Shed with medical health professionals visiting the shed to conduct a number of health Screening checks on the Men’s Shed mob as well as some of the volunteers from the Cooma Railway. An initiative of the Australian Men’s Shed Association and appropriately named “A Spanner in the Works”, the yearly health screens have been put together in conjunction with various health organisations to monitor men’s health and to identify any issues in the early stages when treatment can be more successful. The checks look at hearing, eyesight, cognitive issues, blood sugar, blood pressure, psychological health and physical wellbeing and are designed

to encourage men to “go in for a service’ and then follow up on any recommendations that may result from their check-up. As part of the health check, men also have the option of using the “Tool Box” which is a comprehensive booklet featuring questionnaires and checklists relating to specific health issues plus lots of important health information for men and even more importantly, websites and contact details for several organisations that are specific to men’s health issues. The health screens are going to be an annual event at Men’s Sheds and will be geared towards working with men as a means to encouraging them to look at healthier choices and lifestyles as well as monitoring their general wellbeing.

State Budget Comment Member for Monaro, John Barliaro The NSW Budget 2012-13 commits to building for the future and invests to meet the growing needs of Monaro. “In these difficult economic times, this Budget builds for the State’s future through responsible spending to deliver more housing and more infrastructure to stimulate economic growth” Treasurer Mike Baird said. “The Budget builds better services including more nurses, more police and more teachers throughout NSW. “Due to the unprecedented drop in revenue the Government has made some tough decisions, however our investments now will make a huge difference for the future,” Mr Baird said. Member for Monaro, John Barilaro said he welcomed the Budget’s focus on infrastructure to get regional NSW moving again. “While the Federal Government is contributing less to NSW infrastructure, the NSW Budget increases infrastructure spending by 17 per cent over the next four years, compared with the last four years. “The people of Monaro will see in this Budget a focus on building better infrastructure for the services we rely on every day,” Mr Barilaro said. “The 2012/13 NSW Budget will be remembered in the Monaro as The Roads Budget” “I’ve secured over $46 million in investment for

Combined Pensioners and Superannuants Budget NSW: Carbon tax compo and poorest of the poorest spectacle program fair game “Comments by the NSW Ageing Minister, Andrew Constance, suggest pensioners in public housing need to brace for the clean energy supplement, aka carbon tax compo, being included in public housing rent calculations.

housing are already struggling to pay for basic goods and services and need this modest boost to their income to keep up with rising living costs. “Pension supplements have always been quarantined from public and community housing rent calculations as they are paid for a specific purpose. It is very concerning that the NSW Government seems to be going against this tradition, effectively robbing those in public housing from their entitlement. “It’s a case of the Federal Government giving people a hand with the rising cost of living and the NSW Government immediately snatching it away”, Ms Christie said.

CMSC supports “Love food, hate waste” campaign Did you know that 74 percent of the contents of the typical household garbage bin is actually recoverable? That’s right, 74 percent! If you think that sounds like a lot, it’s because it is and a breakdown of the contents demonstrates just how much waste we are sending to landfill every year that doesn’t need to be there. Even more disturbing is the amount of good food that ends up in the same place. In NSW alone, $2.5 billion worth of good edible food finds its way into garbage bins every year and around $231 Million worth of drinks get wasted as well. According to Cooma-Monaro Shire Council’s Jeff Tate, Safety Education Officer with the Resource Centre and Waste Services division, a lot of what is going into garbage bins shouldn’t really be there. “The average household bin contains 40 percent food, 11 percent green waste, 16 percent recyclable containers, seven percent paper and cardboard and 26 percent nonrecyclable landfill.” Fortunately, Cooma-Monaro Shire Council (CMSC) has joined with 12 local government bodies located in South-East NSW to form a partnership aimed at educating people to raise their awareness about the impact of food waste in NSW and to hopefully counter how much “good” food is being wasted and ending up as landfill. “A UK study found that up to 40 percent of household food waste is avoidable.” Mr Tate said “The study, which looked at the way people shop, prepare and dispose of food, was so successful that the NSW Government decided to adopt and implement it here.” The result is “Love food, hate waste” which will be an ongoing project designed to encourage people to look at the way they shop, what they are buying, how much they are buying and then what they are doing with it when they get it home. “Food preparation does not have to be a chore.” Mr Tate added. The “Love food, hate waste” campaign is a NSW Government program managed by the Office of Environment and Heritage and is being run in partnership with retailers, food manufacturers, local government authorities and community groups and is designed to raise awareness about food management. The message is that wasting food wastes the energy, water and natural resources used to grow, package and market that food and what a sad fact it is that so much good food is thrown away when it doesn’t need to be. 44 percent of households are tempted by deals and special offers and NSW households send an average of 800,000 tonnes of food a year to landfill but when food waste breaks down in landfill it produces methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas. Inaugural partners, Woolworths, local governments, NSW Health, the Shires Association

of NSW and the Australian Food and Grocery Council are all working together to show people better alternatives. Uneaten food can be recycled into the home compost bin, a worm farm or can be fed to pets or livestock but sensible shopping and correct storage means that food will stay fresher longer which will cut down food waste quite dramatically. One of the main messages is to prepare a list before you go grocery shopping and then stick to it as, when you only buy what you need you are less likely to have a lot of waste. Also, rediscover the art of turning leftovers into new meals! If you would like to know more about the “Love food, hate waste” program, please visit www.lovefoodhatewaste. nsw.gov.au as it has some clever tips for managing your food more effectively and also www.serrroc.nsw.gov.au which is also very informative about the program

and its partners. Mr Tate added that this will be an ongoing program that will be revisited on a regular basis and some possible future projects are in the works as well. Mr Tate has also spoken with the Cooma TAFE College in relation to holding forums aimed at teaching people better ways to manage their food and if they go ahead, the forums will run around November 2012. “People just need to realise how easy it is to avoid food waste and that’s what we hope to achieve” Mr Tate said.

Council waives Scouts fees Cooma-Monaro Shire Council has agreed to waive more than $5000 in unpaid services charges to assist the Cooma Boy Scouts. Cooma Scouts wrote to council requesting a donation to the value of their outstanding service charges of $5,112.15. The Scouts explained the current committee took over in 2010, and was unaware of the previous arrangements that required them to apply to council to waive the service charges. Council wrote to the Boy Scout Association on March 8, 2010 advising that a donation in respect of the water and wastewater charges up to the amount of $1,000 was approved and would be credited to their assessment. The letter also advised it was a requirement to request a donation in relation to the charges at the time the rates and charges notice is received. The $1,000 credited to their assessment did not cover the outstanding amount owing since 2006. Cr Bronnie Taylor spoke in favour of waiving the charges: “They do incredible work – I’d like to give it to them as a donation”. Councillors voted unanimously to donate the cost of the fees.

Suzannah said, “Our aim is to have the project completed by summer, just in time for the enjoyment of our warm weather visitors in addition to looking wonderful for all the great community events that happen in Adaminaby”. Local Adaminaby artist, Andy Lomnici created the Big Trout in 1969 and she was officially unveiled in 1973 and after this full restoration, she will continue to represent one of the region’s most prominent public sculptures and be an internationally recognisable symbol of the Snowy Mountains and the beautiful town of Adaminaby, for many years to come.

Final call for bush poets

Pre-registration is not required, however, interested participants can subscribe to receive news and updates about the seminars. 2 July 2012

The restoration of our ‘Big Trout’ at Adaminaby is currently ‘in hibernation’ due to the onset of winter but the project is progressing nicely and the dedicated ‘Friends of the Fish Committee’ are confident that the 43 year old sculpture will be resplendent in her new coat of lustrous colour by early summer. Snowy River Shire Council’s Heritage Officer and Committee member, Suzannah Plowman says that they really wanted to complete the extensive and most recent restoration of the iconic Big Trout before winter. However because of the cooler temperatures, the special paints and fibre glass resins used are unable to cure properly which would result in a poor quality job that would not last in our harsh environment, not to mention voiding any manufacturer’s product warranty. Erring on the side of caution, PPG Industries the supplier of the high quality products used on the job - have also pointed out that the freezing overnight temperatures may cause the undercured, multiple clear finish coats to become cloudy in appearance and completely spoil the job. Until the warmer weather kicks back in, our beautiful Big Trout will be protected by a special coat of silver sealer, so that our harsh winter

Local supermarkets support food rescue programs One of our most basic requirements is food and while most of us manage to have enough to eat, there are many others out there who, due to circumstances beyond their control, do not and with the number of people needing help on the increase it is reassuring to know that Australian food outlets are stepping up in a big way. Metropolitan residents are probably familiar with names like FoodBank, OzHarvest, FareShare and SecondBite and everyone knows the Salvation Army. These are all charitable organisations which visit the various restaurants, cafes and markets to collect the overflow of fresh food items that would normally end up in landfill and redistribute them to a much nobler end as healthy food for struggling families and individuals. Spiralling living costs are sending many people to the wall these days so it comes as a relief to know they can still access decent fresh food thanks to the co-operation between the various outlets and the collectors, ensuring perfectly good produce will go to help people in need. Supermarket giants Coles and Woolworths both have food rescue programs in place, as do Aldi stores. Woolworths is aiming for “zero food waste” by 2015, where composting facilities are available and so far have diverted 9000 tonnes of food waste to EarthPower and fit-for-consumption foods to food relief organisations. While it is easier to orchestrate in a metropolitan area, food rescue is now spreading rapidly beyond the city limits and has found its way to a number of regional areas where it has been loosely tailored to recognise and support the differing needs in rural communities. Around 100 Coles’ stores throughout Australia are now donating fresh produce and bakery items to local community food programs in both urban and rural areas and Aldi, Coles and Woolworths in Cooma are all on board with all three donating fresh produce and bakery items seven days a week to local landholders who use it to feed their livestock. “We have an arrangement where local landholders come in and pick up what they need” Coles Store Manager, Damian Pennyfield, said of the store’s Second Use program “and they can come in every day of the week if they wish.” The Cooma store is happy to do this as it means fresh grocery produce and bakery items are being recycled rather than wasted and landholders are happy to abide by the condition that they use the food for their animals and not sell it. The main thing is that it is available for collection and going to a better use than landfill. Coles is committed to donating surplus healthy fresh produce to charities around the nation which will go on to provide over five million meals to people in need over the next two years and local community food programs, once fully implemented will help and estimated 1.2 million Australians. Coles expect around 655 of their stores will participate in the program. Woolworths in Cooma is also donating food items to local farmers and charitable groups under their Fresh Food Rescue Program. Fresh grocery produce and bakery items are available for collection plus the store also donates nonperishable food items and items with a long shelf life like pasta, cereals and canned goods to local charity groups to use to help people in need. Perishable items could also be available so long as collectors can demonstrate that they can transport and store it correctly and safely. Woolworths

Cooma Store Manager Michael Silleto is happy for the Barnardos with items such as children’s books, bed linen, food to be collected and redistributed for a better use than clothing, electrical items and a number of other household goods donated for distribution. landfill. It is a credit to our local supermarkets that they are fully “There is a little bit of paperwork involved but we are more than happy to see the food go to a better use. We behind the food rescue programs and are supporting our have a lot of farmers collecting from us plus charity groups local community and charitable organisations by donating their products where they can do the most good. as well.” In 2010, Woolworths nationally donated 2,247 tonnes of food to relief charity partners which has been used to make more than two million meals for those in need. Under the Fresh Food Rescue Program, Woolies aims to rescue surplus fresh food from the waste stream so it can be used to create meals for the needy and the program was developed to assist in addressing an underlying social problem in Australia that is becoming more prevalent. Woolworths believes it has a role in making sure that fresh edible food, which for different reasons cannot be sold, is not wasted. Instead it can be put to better use by turning it into good healthy meals and Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs Woolies works in sync with organisations (FaHCSIA) has established panels of early intervention service providers to deliver such as FoodBank, OzHarvest, evidence based services to eligible children as part of the Helping Children with SecondBite and the Salvation Army to Autism (HCWA) package and the Better Start for Children with Disability (Better achieve this and over 500 Woolworths’ Start) initiative. The purpose of the panels is to improve access to targeted and appropriate early intervention services for eligible children. stores are currently rescuing surplus food which would otherwise go to landfill. FaHCSIA is now seeking further applications from eligible organisations and sole Like Coles and Woolworths, Aldi is providers who wish to apply for membership of one or both panels. also a strong supporter of food rescue Allied health professionals who are qualified and experienced in the disciplines programs and recognises the need to do of audiology, speech pathology, occupational therapy, orthoptics, physiotherapy more than just trash excess foods that or psychology are invited to apply for membership of the Better Start Panel as can be used more wisely.

Cooma North debating team Last week the Cooma North Public School debating team attended a debating day at Braidwood to complete three rounds of the Premier’s Debating Challenge. The team consisted of Zoe Dixon, Tayla Reynolds, Laila Bradshaw and Abby Freimanis. The team debated against Braidwood Central School, Bungendore Public School and Crookwell Public School.

Each adjudicator commented on the high standard of the speeches, presentation and teamwork. Congratulations to the girls for being such wonderful ambassadors for our school. Thanks to Lynne Reynolds who assisted with transport.

Primary colours shows off young talent Thanks to the artistic talents of primary school children around the state, offices in the Department of Education and Communities are now looking a whole lot brighter. Primary Colours, a project instigated by the NSW Primary Principals Association, invited primary students to produce an artwork especially for a senior member of staff. The senior officers each selected a topic close to their hearts and students then let their imaginations run riot in 2D. Students could choose to reproduce an image on paper in paint, crayon, pencil or pastels from topics as diverse as birds, animals, abstract images, rainforests, snow, people and cities. Across the state, 460 artworks were submitted by more than 55 public schools. In the Illawarra/South East region, student works from three schools were selected. They were: • Pambula Public School • Bomaderry Public School, and • Jindabyne Central School. Regional Director, Illawarra and South East, Maria Gray-Spence, said the exhibition was a wonderful opportunity to highlight younger students’ expertise, to help develop their skills as they work towards a goal to finally see their artwork exhibited in the atrium of the department’s head office. “Forty seven pictures were chosen for the exhibition and through an auction of the remaining works, Primary Colours raised over $4,140 for the department’s charity, Stewart House, which helps up to 1,800 public school children in need each year with medical treatment, schooling and emotional support,” Ms Gray-Spence said. “These artworks have brightened many peoples’ lives in different ways.” The Primary Colours Exhibition were on show in the Department of Education and Communities’ atrium gallery, level 2, 35 Bridge Street, Sydney, until last Friday, and now they will brighten senior officers’ workplaces for the next year.

Riposte Lisa Ashurst Tomorrow is the Winter Solstice and I’m gearing up to celebrate the fact that as from tomorrow, the Great Star will be on the rise again in our southern skies. The daylight hours will gradually increase and as a harbinger of the (eventual) warmer weather to come, it’s about the best one yet. For me anyway and I’m singing and dancing for joy. Admittedly, all this cheering and sashaying around the house in my winter woollies may seem a little premature to some, seeing as we still have the rest of June plus July and August to get through yet (and they can be a bit chilly to put it mildly) but the fact that we have reached the halfway point as far as the sun is concerned is good enough for me as it means we are definitely on our way towards spring and summer. I just love it! I’m sure some of you are still shaking your heads and wondering if I’ve lost it or something and in all fairness, I can go with that. A woman singing and dancing through the house with wild abandon because spring is only two and a half months away can be a little weird but if I was doing it naked around a fire in a 44-gallon drum in the middle of the back yard it would be weirder so, if you happen to be passing and see me briefly on one of my flings past the loungeroom windows, just keep walking/driving/

whatever. I’ll be over it in about 48 hours. It’s just the way I am. I’ve always had a spontaneous streak and a tendency to leap, laugh and dance around the place in moments of pure joy and the Solstice sets me off every year. No doubt if I was someone who just loved ice, snow and minimum temps in general I would save all my celebrating for the Summer Solstice on December 21 and just might be tempted to do that one in the back yard because it would be warm enough to be out there. But I wouldn’t be naked, I swear, and due to the fire restrictions I’d probably have to forgo the 44 as well. Much better to be a summer-lover and do the Big Kahuna round the heater in June. Meanwhile, I’m stepping up the fitness routine and thinking non-depressive thoughts and it should be enough to see me through to September and if I’m not exactly thrilled to bits with the weather, at least I won’t be sobbing into my porridge over the fact that the temperature is reading in single digits. Nope, I’m over all that now because the sun hits its lowest point (for us here in the southern hemisphere anyway) tomorrow and then it starts to make it’s way towards it’s zenith again and one of its biggest fans (me) is doing cartwheels etc, just thinking about it! Such joy, bliss and positive vibe thingies! Almost there! Almost…

A LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN Last Satuday night I had the pleasure of visiting Michaelago Catholic Church for the first time. What an inspiring Church with its stained glass windows, marble baptism font, religious statues and very different colour scheme surrounding the altar. It was constructed in 1907 and carries a feeling of peace when entering. The Church is set in lovely grounds and definitely a must for our Tourists.

$60,000 CAPITAL GROWTH PER ANNUM UNTIL 2018 Every property investor dreams of exponential growth that is sustainable. Why: Capital growth is key and when it is sustainable this equals compounding capital growth. What Albert Einstein said was the8th wonder of the world. I travelled to central QLD last week and there was a presentation from Professor John Rolfe from 4th Annual Gladstone Resource Conference. The presentation is titled ʻModelling the future economic, population and housing impacts of developments in Gladstone. The presentation is centred on what the resources boom could do to housing demand and property prices in Gladstone and Central Queensland. The figures are quite staggering, and very incredibly positive for people investing in the region. The modelling shows how many potential jobs are required for the massive projects underway in the region. It then explains the additional jobs created to service this workforce and the population growth that will then follow. The professor then calculates how population growth has traditionally affected property prices and uses these formulas to project possible outcomes. Now remember Professor John Rolf is not in the property industry, his report is completely independent, he is not a real estate agent, a developer a builder or a property advisor/coach like myself he is a professor of economics. Below are just a few findings from his report…. Page 16/ Extrapolating previous trends shows that Gladstone median house prices will grow by approx. $35K per annum up until 2018 Page 30/ QLD population growth forecasts for Central QLD are between 700,000 and 850,000 up to 2031 Page 31/ A map of the incredible amount of resources projects underway in Central QLD Page 35/ Please note the massive percentage of population growth that will occur in Mackay Page 37/ Mackay median house prices to grow on average by 60,883 per annum until 2018 Rapid growth in Central Qld is generating employment, with subsequent population and housing effects Simple models used to make broad forecasts – but will be inaccurate Gladstone population predicted to increase between 10,000 and 25,000 by 2018, depending on scale of industry development Gladstone median house prices predicted to increase to between $604,000 and $928,000 Higher price increases predicted in Mackay, and lower increases in Rockhampton You know where to invest for maximum returns, to make it easy, safe and successful in the premium suburbs within Mackay and Gladstone and other Central Queensland locations by the finest quality builders at wholesale prices please contact me for a COMPLIMENTARY 1Hr CUSTOMISED STRATEGY SESSION by your local Investment Advisor direct on 0430 096 823

Buyer Beware: Seven hidden costs of switching mortgages With the official interest rate lowered in two consecutive months, thousands of borrowers are likely to reassess the terms of their loans and consider switching financial institutions. But beware the hidden costs of switching – even with the recent reduction in mortgage exit fees – says a leading national property investment group. Wayne Duffin, Club Loans Mortgage Professional at The Investors Club, which has sold more than 17,000 properties to more than 9,700 investors since it was established, says some financial institutions still have in place hidden charges and fees to discourage switching. “With the May 2012 interest rate drop, the top four banks chose not pass on interest rates savings in full to their customers, creating what seemed like the perfect opportunity to look for a better home loan deal. The situation will be even more volatile if June’s rate cut is again not passed on in full. “With lenders adjusting rates independent of the RBA, what looks like a good deal today may not be tomorrow,” continued Wayne. However Wayne says it is still best to renegotiate with your current lender if you’re only switching for a more competitive interest rate. “You might find there is no need to switch, as many lenders are open to negotiation and, once adjusted, your rate is competitive.” For those concerned about the long-term who may not be in a position to negotiate, Wayne shares seven key areas where hidden fees or additional costs are likely. “Assess the terms of your loan before making the decision to switch. While there can be substantial savings on offer, you need to be aware of the costs,” he says. The Investors Club reveals the seven hidden costs of switching mortgages: 1. Lenders Mortgage Insurance: When switching financial institutions, a new lender may require a new property valuation. If your new valuation is lower than planned, you may be required to pay mortgage insurance. To sidestep this situation, your new property valuation must be higher than 80 per cent of the loan amount. If not, you could potentially be adding 2 per cent to the cost of your loan. Ask your broker for an upfront valuation, before proceeding with your refinancing application to check your current valuation is on track.

2. Deferred Establishment (Exit) Fees: Although from 1 July 2011, deferred establishment or exit fees are no longer applied to new loans, non-banks can still charge them on older products for the first five years of the loan. Make sure you check your loan documents or call your lender to confirm if fees are payable. The amount payable varies according to the total loan amount and how long you have held the loan.

3. Mortgage Discharge Fees: Don’t confuse these with exit fees. Check your loan agreement to see if your lender charges a discharge fee. This could be up to $500. With government charges, expect to pay around $1,000 in total. Although they are not as willing as a few months ago to negotiate fees, it’s still worth talking to your lender to look for cost reductions when discharging your mortgage.

4. Break Costs on Fixed Rate Loans: When you break a fixed-term loan, your financial institution will charge you for not fulfilling the agreed terms. The amount you pay will vary according to the interest rate your fixed loan was secured under, the current interest rate and the duration of your loan. Charges can often run in the thousands if poorly managed.

5. Direct Debits: One of the biggest difficulties in switching lenders is managing direct debits. If not done well, you could be hit for “over the limit” and cheque dishonour fees. It’s also often time consuming to not only change your main account and mortgage, but also update details with other institutions that access your accounts for regular payments. The good news is the government has new legislation coming into effect in July 2012, which should make this process simpler.

6. New Application Fees: Your new mortgage will incur application fees and mortgage registration fees, which you need to take into account. Application fees typically range from $400 to $750 and mortgage registration varies per state, starting at $100 to $140.

7. Stamp Duty: Is payable in NSW on refinancing. Expect to pay around 0.35 per cent of the loan value plus GST.

Inquiry into NSW water storage Balancing water needs for agricultural, urban, industrial and environmental purposes will be the focus of a new inquiry announced by the Standing Committee on State Development. The inquiry will examine the capacity of existing water storages and models for determining water requirements for agricultural, urban, industrial and environmental needs. The inquiry will also examine proposals for the construction and/or augmentation of water storages in NSW. Submissions from interested individuals and organisations are due by Friday August 3, 2012. “Access to and security of water resources is one of the mosta important concerns for many communities and industries throughout NSW. “Without secure water storages, these communities and industries may be unable to develop and may, in some cases, struggle to survive,” Chairman of the Committee Rick Colless, said. “Over the last 15 years there have been many changes to the demands placed on water, particularly with the implementation of environmental flows resulting in significant changes to storage management procedures and water pricing structures. “It is important that these issues be carefully examined when making recommendations in relation to the adequacy of water storage capacities,” “We want to explore the capacity of water storages in NSW to meet the needs of all water users now and into the future. “On behalf of the Committee I’d like to encourage all interested persons and organisations to engage with this inquiry and help us identify solutions that can improve water storages in NSW.” The inquiry was referred to the Committee by Minister for Primary Industries. Katrina Hodgkinson Given the scope of the inquiry, the Committee hopes to report its findings in mid 2013. For further information, including guidelines for making a submission and copies of the terms of reference, visit the NSW Parliament website at www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/ statedevelopment or contact the Committee secretariat on (02) 9230 3081.

Prices lower at Cooma sheep and lamb sale

Prices were steady to lower at the sheep and lamb sale at Cooma saleyards on Monday.

Regional NSW ignored in State Budget NSW Farmers is disappointed regional and rural communities have been overlooked in the NSW Government’s second budget announced last week. While recognising the tight financial conditions of the current economic climate, the association said the government had missed an opportunity to invest more broadly throughout the state. NSW Farmers president, Ms Fiona Simson, said the Department of Primary Industries $1.1 billion bumper budget was in fact exactly the same as it was in 2011-12. Meanwhile, the government’s $3.8 billion commitment to rural road networks was mostly allocated to major highways the Pacific, Princes, Great Western and Hume. “Although these major routes are important to the state, farmers and businesses in rural NSW cannot utilise the benefits of these roads because of limitations to their own local road networks,” she said. Ms Simson said later this year, Infrastructure NSW had the

potential to highlight key projects in rural and regional NSW and looked forward to some announcement here for rural communities. However, The Treasurer announced today that funds had been pre-committed to projects in Sydney in the knowledge that this is what Infrastructure NSW will include in their strategy. Meanwhile, NSW Farmers was disappointed that no new projects were announced for research and development in rural and regional NSW despite a $1.00 investment in rural R&D having a return of more than $10.00. NSW Farmers looks forward to getting more detail on the government’s $4.8 million commitment to the National Biosecurity Interjurisdictional arrangements and other biosecurity programs. Agriculture is an important contributor to the NSW economy. It generates more than $8.4 billion annually and employs 74,000 people full time. More importantly, it is the backbone of thousands of rural communities throughout NSW.

Farmers welcome workers comp report NSW Farmers thave welcomed the Joint Select Committee’s report on NSW orkers’ Compensation stating it fully supports its recommendations to change the scheme. The report confirms that increasing premiums would be prohibitive for employers and would result in job losses for NSW. The association said it was crucial to implement the review’s recommended changes without delay because the scheme was not competitive compared with interstate schemes and NSW had the second highest premium of all mainland states. NSW Farmers president, Fiona Simson, said every farmer and small business person already felt the cost of current broken workers’ compensation insurance in NSW, whether in their own premium, or in contractor costs, such as shearers.

Today, NSW premiums are around 40 to 60 percent higher compared with other states. In certain industries, premiums are more than double those in Victoria. Ms Simson urged parliament to adopt the recommendations from the committee to improve the scheme’s effectiveness in supporting and promoting return to work. “Our parliament needs to reform this flawed scheme to better assist injured workers return to work and ensure employers can compete against those interstate”. “We support the committee’s recommendation that seriously injured workers should receive adequate and appropriate support, and injuries not directly related to work (such as journey claims and recess claim when work is not a contributing factor) should be excluded from the scheme’s coverage.”

Cooma Tigers weekend results Once again it was a great day for the Tigers. They defeated the Monaro Panthers in 3 of 4 PL divisions. Only the PL 16 fell to Monaro on the weekend PREMIERS: On the cold Sunday afternoon, the feline-derby was played out by two of the most ferocious teams in the competition. Although both teams tried their best, the Tigers came through in the end. For the first few minutes at the start of both halves, the Panthers were the better side. In the 11th minute the Panther’s Paul Ivanic opened up the scoresheet. Soon after, Tigers Domenici levelled the scores in the 13th minute. Monaro was not giving up. They did not need to wait more than the 17th minute to convert their second goal. This time it was Stein who punished the Tigers, 2-1. Monaro retracted everyone to the defensive line in an attempt to protect the result. They built an impenetrable wall, against which Cooma launched several attacks. But all attempts from the Tigers were frustrated by the goalkeeper and his boys. The resistance lasted up until the 37th minute. The audacity of Robbie Cattanach broke through the door of the Panther’s defence. The score was levelled at 2-2. Two minutes later, now knowing the weaknesses of the brick wall, Domenici once again broke the defensive line. He tilted the score to 3-2 in favour of the Tigers. This ended the first half. The second half started with a reenergised Panthers squaring up the match at 3-3 five minutes from the starting whistle. Monaro’s nº 11 scored for the Panthers. The match was quickly turning into a tug-ofwar, and the Panthers seemed determined

to defeat the Tigers. But in the last 10 minutes the derby changed direction. Domenici busted open the tie. He scored a hat trick in the 81st minute. While the Panthers were down, the Tigers struck again this time from Jordano San Martin. He brought the tally 5-3 in favour of Cooma. Goran Josifovski replaced Aleksovski and scored in the 87th minute. Then, to terminate any sign of recovery the Panther’s conceded their most painful goal yet. This occurred in the 91st minute when ex-Cooma goalkeeper Rade Kosanovic attempted to clear the ball. The ball was intercepted by Colucciello, and the keeper, trying desperately to regain the ball, went shoulder to shoulder with the midfielder. But the dices fell in the favour of Cooma. The scores finished 7-3, despite Monaro playing at home. Domenici is now the leading scorer in the competition with 15 goals. PATHWAY; The return of Joe, Felipe and Jerry plus the incorporation after injury of Goran to Cooma PPL this week helped the team gain a healthy victory over Monaro 6-0. Goran, who played only in the first half, was able to score two consecutive times. Jerry scored another hat-trick between the first and the second half. Then, the cherry on the pie was put on by Felipe near the end of the game. This victory keeps Cooma PPL in a very comfortable second position. Under 18s 1-nil win Cooma Tigers Under 18 Premier League vs Monaro Panthers at Riverside, the weather was cold with a cloud cover, strong breeze and not much sun. Right from the first whistle the Tigers

dominated the play but true to their current form had difficulty finding the net, a number of golden opportunities went begging, Monaro had no real answer. The Tiger’s attack was fierce but the goal remained elusive and at the break it was nil all. The second half started with Monaro almost netting the ball right from the whistle, but luck was with the Tigers as the ball went harmlessly past the Tigers goal, this must have given a wakeup call because within a minute Glover put a beautiful through ball sending Magarry on his way who made no mistake placing past the Monaro keeper giving the Tigers a one nil lead, from that moment on both teams attacked and counter attacked but neither side could score and the match ended Tigers one Monaro nil. Next Sunday the Tigers will face competition leaders Woden at Nijong. Lady Tigers This week saw the first loss for the Lady Tigers for 2012. In what was always going to be a tough game ADFA arrived in their bus with a squad of 28 players. The Lady Tigers were suffering from injury and also most of the team have or have had the flu the past week. Not to be put off though the Ladies were first to score, with Stacey Brookes putting the ball away. Next the Ladies scored again this time by Rachael Brookes but having the goal disallowed. This seemed to put a damper on the girls spirits and although the half time score was 2-1 it was all downhill from there. The final score was 4-1 to ADFA making them the top of the table and undefeated so far this season. Next week the Ladies play at home again against ANU at 2pm.

Bushpigs suffer season’s first loss The Jindabyne Bushpigs have suffered their first loss of the season to the Taralga tigers. Always a tough trip away , the more determined Tigers grinded out a 17-10 win in atrocious conditions. The Bushpigs knew this was going to be won in the forwards due to the sodden wet ground conditions. The Tigers started the game with urgency making some good metres through their forwards and pin point kicking from their five eight and fullback putting the Bushpigs on the back foot early on. The Bushpigs defence was holding its own with some solid hits from Josh Shortland, John field and Daniel Josifovski . However after a couple of consecutive penalties the Tigers hit the lead when their hard running centre went over for a try to put the Tigers in the lead. This was the first time this season the Bushpigs had been under pressure. The Bushpigs tried to pick up the intensity in the last 10 minutes of the first half and were gifted some great field possession by some crafty kicks from Jake Roarty and Matthew Caldwell. Camped inside the Tigers 22m for the final minutes of the half the Tigers defence held out only to give a easy penalty goal kicked by Roarty right on the stroke of half time to take the scores 7-3 at the break. In the first five minutes of the second half the Bushpigs stepped up to the task and began to roll forward with some smart work by Ian Vagg and hard running. Craig Dixon scored the Bushpigs first and only try of the game. Roarty converted from the sideline to put the Bushpigs in the lead 10-7 for first time of the game. The Tigers began to take control of the ball as they did in the first half. The Bushpigs were camped in their half for much of the remainder of the game which the Tigers took full advantage off . The Tigers hit the lead 14-10 midway through the second half after a number of phases inside

the Bushpigs 22m . A Tigers penalty goal 10 mins from time seem to have put a dent in the Bushpigs squad. The final minutes of the game were evenly matched as the Bushpigs pushed for a try however in end the better team had won the game. Coach Tripet was happy with the efforts and said ‘ It may have been a loss we needed and this will only makes us stronger. We must ensure we put this game behind us and focus on next week’s game.’ after the game. The points this week were given to hooker Daniel Josifovski (3 points) who led from the front, John Field ( 2 points and players player ) and Mathew Caldwell (1 point). This weekend sees the Bushpigs at home to the Braidwood Redbacks. The Bushpigs are set to bolstered by regular winter seasonal players James Barb Winter and Lindsay Winter this weekend. The boys will be a welcome addition to the team to add even more depth to the squad. A big day of rugby is planned yet again at John Connors oval this weekend beginning with the mighty U10s at 10. 15am and the main game between the Bushpigs and Braidwood at 2.30pm.

Tayla only turned 16 last week and after such a long wait was itching for her first game of senior rugby. She was playing at inside centre and was very strong in defence and inspiring in attack scoring the Piggies only try of the game of a Kate “Kooka” Brown chip kick. Tayla’s positioning in defence and return kicks showed skills well beyond her young years. She is a star of the future and is a great addition to the Miss Piggies. The girls played strong and defended well but were outplayed as a team and when a nasty clash saw Simone Dixon ruled out for the rest of the game the girls had to dig deep and they did. The forwards all played hard especially Kate “Wacka” Waterhouse having a big game at hooker and Heather “Hbomb” Craig returning for a guest appearance at breakaway, she showed she still has it. Nicole “Nikkas” Raine and Eve “Bean” Milham both toiled hard all day and provided a strong platform in the second row. The backs were up against it all day facing a Queanbeyan backline with six ACT Rep Players in it, they continually Weekend results: troubled the Queanbeyan girls when they got the ball but JRUC Weekend results: the size advantage and knowledge of each other’s play 10s win against Royals at home 36-26 helped the Queanbeyan girls break the defensive line. 12s lost against Broulee away 22-26 It was obvious that the drills at training have shown a 13s lost against Eddies away 7-48 marked improvement but the attendance at training also 15s lost against Trinity away 0-45 needs to improve so that players can train in the correct Miss Piggies lost against Queanbeyan position and maintain their fitness.

Piglets U/10s win 36-26

Cooma Auskick season 2012 about to begin

This week the mighty U10s Piglets played a home game against The Royals. I made the first tackle and continued to work on my defensive game. The Royals made the first two tries in the game, which made us wake up. Jake Midgley scored a try and kicked three goals. Bryce Robinson made two tries and Darcy Alexander made three tries. The second half was very exciting as the Royals came back with

Junior Red Devils results Under 10s – had a BYE Under 11s The U11s had a hard fought match against the Gungahlin Eagles last Saturday in Nicholls. The Red Devils got off to a strong start with an early try, via Remy Oldrey which put the Cooma boys in front by five nil, no successful conversion. Archie Allen played well in his new position. Bailey Rogers provided some excellent support play, but Gungahlin with their tall second rowers won a turnover and went onto score, making the score five all. Sam Larritt, Bailey and Remy all combined to score straight from Sam’s kickoff, making the score 10-5, and with a skilful conversion by Archie, the score was 12-5. Some solid defending from Broc Allen, taking on tackles front on, and Rhys Sopniewski getting quickly to the breakdown, meant the score remained the same as they went into half time. Our first aider, Soppy showed his skills by attending to a nosebleed for the opposition. In the second half, the Cooma boys came out firing, and after Sam doing a clever spinning manoeuvre to evade the tackle, Bailey did a smart steal, and Keegan was up the sideline to make the score 17-5. A classy conversion by Remy had the score up to19-5. Bailey made a brilliant solo run with Remy in support, and after a soccer kick to push the ball on, Remy managed to plant it over the try line. The score was 24-5, with a conversion kick not going our way. Gungahlin slipped through with a diving try that Cooma didn’t see coming. The score was 24-10, and Gungahlin were on their way back into this game. This was the wakeup call Cooma needed.. Nick Cootes did a quick-footed run up the sideline from out of the mess, and Damian Fanning had his best game of the season. A clever quick short lineout by Nick showed how much clearer the forwards are looking at their options. The final score was 24-10. Points were awarded, 3 to Nick, 2 to Damo, and 1 to Rhys, well done to the forwards who have stepped up a level from the previous weeks. Under 12s Red Devils U12s got up 29-21 against Tuggeranong Vikings at Gowrie in a very tough. Devils scored the first two tries through Callum Sewell and Oscar Litchfield to lead 12-0. Vikings scored and converted to make it 12-7 at half time. Devils widened the gap in the second half through another try to Callum and Ryan Bolton who after some great lead up work picked the ball up from the back of the ruck and charged through the defence to score his first try. The Vikings fought back with two converted tries to trail by only

one at 22-21. It was only great defence that held out the Vikings charge before Oscar was able to score under the posts with Zac Ingram converting to seal the win. Well done to Justin Manning who had a good game in the hooker position replacing Matt Swain who was taken out early in the game due to injury. This week Oscar was awarded 3 points, Ryan Bolton 2 and Justin Manning 1 with the Pig Dog Award going to Joe Rossiter. Under 14s The 14s took on Radford College for the first time this season after moving up a division. The boys pulled together and played well all game but a few small mistakes and several cases of white line fever saw the score in Radford’s favour when the fulltime bell rang. The Devils showed guts and determination to take the ball over the line after the bell had rung and took the final score to 10 all. Christian Von der Berg played a great game and earned himself the three points this week. Dan Swain and Hugh Allen both had a great game in the forwards and Tyler Fanning has found the transition from league to Union no problem at all. Under 16s It was a case of déjà vu for the Under 16s who lost to Radford by five points for the second time this season. The game started exactly the same way as the round two encounter with the Red Devils knocking on from the kick-off and Radford scoring a converted try within the first two minutes. Radford was playing with confidence but the Red Devils rallied and centre Ned McDonnell crashed over to score the first of his two tries. Scrumhalf Matt Kelley converted and the score was 7-7. A bone-crunching tackle by centre Richard Bensley on his opponent was penalised with the referee ruling that the player had been lifted above the horizontal. Richard was sent to the sin-bin for 10 minutes and Radford capitalised scoring their third converted try to lead 21-7 The Red Devils started the second half with purpose and aggression. Luke Bracher kicked deep into Radford territory and a good chase by the forwards gave Cooma good field position. Cooma’s effort was rewarded with a try to second-rower Tom Manning. Matt Kelley narrowly missed the conversion and Cooma trailed 21-12. Radford received a fortuitous penalty and kicked a goal to take a 24-12 lead. Ned McDonnell scored another try, which was converted by Matt Kelley. With the score at 21-19 time was Cooma’s main threat. The Red Devils continued to attack but unfortunately were unable to score again.

Some good results for Cooma Colts U8 The U8s travelled to Bungendore and narrowly went down in a game that went from end to end. Kayla’s running was again very strong through the middle and her defence also very strong. Talon got his running legs back in attack with some great long runs, resulting in two tries and kicking one goal. Adam also made some incisive runs as well as making a few thundering tackles. Brock was heavily involved with excellent weaving run. His defence was also great one on one as well as kicking a goal. Kristian bagged himself a try and kicked a goal. James led the team around with confidence again and his attack out wide was great as well, also kicking 1 goal. Barrett probably had his best game to date. Lachlan never disappoints, his speed with the ball proves him hard to catch when he breaks through, scoring himself a long range try. A few lapses in defence proved the difference, but after a three-week layoff defence was pretty good overall. McDonalds Awards went to Kayla and Brock. Player of the Week went to Barrett. U10 The U10s Colts went to Canberra to play the Queanbeyan Blues which turned out to be a very exciting game with both sides testing each other’s attack and defence. Cooma showed plenty of determination with their team under strength, (Tyler Rees, Colin Kingston and Dean Ashton out with illness) but they dug in with Noah Saddler, Nic Zusak, Eddie Clarke and Will Cahill with great attack and defence. Cooma went in to half time with scores level with a great solo try to Nic Zusak down the sideline with his blistering speed. Cooma started the second half with great attacking from James McGufficke, Jordan McLeod, Alec Miners and Jason Kelly and some real solid defence from Josh Digges and Ethan Connelly who both showed no fear and took on some big boys and won. Lachlan Baker played while he did not feel very well but didn’t let his mates down and never gave up. In the end, the Cooma boys only just lost 22 to 14 in the last five minutes of a very physical game with no reserves. They should be as proud of their efforts as the Coach is. U11 U11 Colts were at home to Yass. First try went to Yass but no goal converted straight off the cuff. William Pendergast took the lead for Cooma to bring on a try with Remy Oldrey kicking a goal. A loss of ball near Cooma’s try line gave Yass the chance to a quick pick up and score. Sean Dixon, Damon Fanning and James Hayden played hard full on into the Yass players. Darnel Bartlett coming off second best to a Yass player went to ground with no return after a good start to his game. With Yass back in control of the game, both Sean Dixon and James Hayden stopped play to be cautioned with a warning from the referee. The Yass side managed to score through the line of defence. The Colts gave a re-enactment once again for Remy Oldrey just missing on a try to their corner. After Yass took the ball from the Colts and up to their line, Cooma wasn’t going to let them go over this time. Colts regained the ball and taking it up more than half way with Damon Fanning’s force and the run of Remy Oldrey taking it to the last of play at half time showing a score of 6-16. In the second half an offside ball gave the making towards a good pass to Damon Fanning who covered a fair length of ground. Jayden Miners and William Pendergast showed a fantastic display with team mates, Brendon Weston and Archie Allen. A change over to Yass didn’t last long as a lost ball pick up by Sean Dixon had Cooma going again. But the ball found its way to Yass players once more with Colts trying to come back to put points on the board, Yass lost the ball in a tackle. Remy Oldrey saw the chance and took it down the side line, on to Sean Dixon, James Hayden, Jayden Miners and back to Remy to go over for a try. Samuel Sergo converted the goal. An outstanding run by Sean Dixon straight down the field shortly afterwards, resulted in his own try. William Pendergast successfully converted. Sean Dixon got right back into it with Jayden Miners. William Pendergast gave a great pass to Remy Oldrey who ran on to score with James kicking the goal. Score: 24-20 to Cooma. James Hayden was awarded Players Medal and Samuel

Sergo heading to McDonalds with their Award. Tries: William Pendergast, Sean Dixon, Remy Oldrey. Goals: James Hayden, Samuel Sergo and William Pendergast. U12 The under 12s played Bungendore on Sunday winning 16-10. Bill Zammit still had his amazing strength this week powering through and scoring the first try. Lachlan Inskip passed the ball to Andrew Pearce and he was centimetres from scoring his first try for the season. Lachlan Inskip was next to find the try line after making a great dash up the sideline. Jack Reid picked up an amazing ball and made great distance down the field, as did Thomas Hain’s great hands in collecting the ball before the opposition picked it up and scored. James Cahill, Luke Day and Jarrod Jeszczenko again put in lots of effort making great tackles. A refreshed Dylan Elton had a great game. Tim Bottom made it to the game with five minutes to go, after running straight onto the field and being passed the ball he was unlucky not to score in the corner. Lachlan Jones found the try line next after weaving his way through the opposition. Bill Zammit scored the winning try leaving the game 16-10s. Medal couldn’t go past a brilliant Cooper Swan this week, Maccas awards went to Tim Bottom, Andrew Pearce and Lachlan Jones and Gatorade bag went t o Jack

Reid.

U13 The Under 13s travelled to Queanbeyan to play Queanbeyan Blues. From the kick off too much drop ball and missed tackles saw us down 12 nil in the first eight minutes. With slightly better ball control and field position the boys hit back with two tries through Zac Saddler and Jake Hedger, to make the score 8-12 in Queanbeyan’s favour. More mistakes crept into the game and the Blues were able to score again before half time making the score 16-8 in favour of Queanbeyan Blues. Our two smallest players, Charlie Allen and Will Shingles, completed most of the work in attack and defence, which resulted in Will Shingles scooting from dummy half to score and the conversion by Zac Saddler made the score then 1416 in Blues favour. Poor defence again saw the Blues score two easy tries and they converted once. With better ball control in attack Cooma scored two late tries through Zac Saddler and Jake Hedger. The final score saw us down by only two points, 24-26. Awards went to Charlie Allen and Will Shingles. The team would like to wish Zac Saddler a Happy Birthday!!! U14 The U14 Colts played Yass at Yass. Within the first 15 minutes, Yass scored with three tries and one conversion, putting the boys behind 14 – 0. With 10 to go, Toby Williams was unlucky to have a try disallowed after a tremendous run. With not long left in the half, Tyler Fanning scored and converted successfully, leaving the half time score sitting at 14

– 6 to Yass. Second half kicked off with Yass scoring and converting. Soon afterwards, Charlie Keegan-Bull crossed the line to have it disallowed. The boys thought they were out of the game until Fanning scored again though missed the conversion, leaving score 20-10 to Yass. With not long to go, the boys were tired and let Yass in to score an unconverted try. Full time score was 24 – 10. Good tackles to Wenban, Walker, Fanning, Bowerman, Sellars, McDonald and Keegan-Bull. Good runs to Williams, Singh, Hayden, Rosten and Freebody. Good ball control by James Russell in Full-back and Power was good off the bench. Charlie Keegan-Bull awarded 3 points, Tyler Fanning 2 points and both Toby Williams and Jayden Walker 1 point each. Lessons learnt were to keep mouths shut, pay attention to what the Coach says and switch on from the start of the game. Thanks to parents who came along to support and to Andy and Craig for driving the bus. U15 The U15s took on Gungahlin Bulls in Cooma last Sunday looking to continue their winning form. There were danger signs early on for Cooma, giving away an early penalty and then conceding the first try. The boys then consolidated and settled into working the ball forward through the ruck and were rewarded with a try to Aaron Pidcock. Cooma went on the attack again straight after and were looking to spread the ball wide when Gungahlin intercepted and ran 60m to score and lead 10-4. The lead was short lived after Josh Zammit scored the first of his three tries next to the uprights. Josh then backed up a great run by Andrew Crimmins and picked up a pass off his toes to score. In the very next set it was Cooma’s right side attack that sparked with Jeremy Mackay making an incisive run downfield, but the final pass went astray and the half time score remained in favour of Cooma 18-10. Cooma lifted their intensity again in the second half working forward well via their forwards. This laid the platform allowing Jeremy ‘Birthday Boy’ Mackay the chance to dive over for a try. Cooma continued to gain momentum with a penalty and Jackson Reed making good ground and then Luke Tredigo charging over to extend Cooma’s lead to 2610. Over the next 10 minutes Cooma’s defence was able to shine and repel the Bulls on a number of occasions and ending with Sean Bodycott-Pielli taking a great catch in goal. This allowed Cooma to start working the ball up field via Connor Rendoth and Pat Bond. Josh Zammit capitalised with a barge over try from dummy half. A few minutes later Aaron Pidcock put the icing on the cake with a try and goal to take the final score to 36-10. The Player of the Week Medal was awarded to Jeremy Mackay and the Azzannare Pizza Voucher to Andrew Crimmins. U16 The U16s had a home game last Friday night against the Belconnen United Sharks. From the outset the Sharks proved a well drilled team and the Colts let basic errors put pressure on their own game. The Sharks scored early but Cooma hit back with a bustling try by Jack Williams who also successfully converted to take the score to 6 – 4 Cooma’s way. Despite some desperate tackling by the Colts, the Sharks had the majority of possession which gave them the opportunity to run in another five tries before half time where the score showed as 32 – 6 in the Sharks favour. Cooma came out from the sheds all fired up and they tackled the Sharks out of the match in the second half. Injuries were taking their toll on the Colts but this only inspired them. Jack, Glenn, Harry, Ned, Richard, Dom and Eric combined to pound the Sharks forwards and this proved to unsettle the opposition. Thomas, Dean, Dylan and Ben also contributed to stem the Sharks attack with try saving tackles and Dylan showed what he can do on the wing by scoring an exciting try, then Austin scored a try of his own, which had the Colts winning the second half 8 nil leaving the final score at 32 – 14 in favour of the Sharks. Luke, Jamie, Nic, Josh Hogan and McDonald all played a great game, as did Peter, who has to get back to match fitness and Brandon who really deserved the team medal..

Stallions seniors lose two at Bombala The Stallions travelled to Bombala on Saturday with four grades and came away with two wins and two losses. Reserve Grade The reserve grade side struggle every week to get numbers to training and that was reflected in how the game was played. They started well and were first to score and gave the team confidence but as the game progressed the combinations were starting to break down as players were being replaced on a regular basis mainly due to the lack of fitness. The effort was there but for the reserve grade to make any impact on this year’s competition more commitment will have to be shown to the coach by turning up to training. There were some good performances from a few with a handful playing their first game of the year. Tony Levitt showed he can mix it with the best playing wing and then later in the game moving into the forwards where he was tackling everything that moved, Dylan Pielli was impressive in his first match of the year as was Todd Mould. In the end they guys went down 44 – 24. First Grade A tough day at the office for the first grade outfit when they came up against Merimbula Pambula Bombala on Saturday. As was with reserve grade the guys got off to a good start with a try in the corner to Jessie Jackson and another try disallowed from a bomb. It did not take the combined side long to hit back and before long they started to take control with some strong runs through the centre of the field.

The Stallions never stopped trying but it was going to be one of those days with the ball not sticking a couple of times when looking dangerous and they guys were also dropping off the one on one tackles. The half time score left the Stallions behind by 12 and the combined side scored an early try in the second half to make life that little bit harder for them. It was in this period where the Stallions fought back and gained some momentum scoring a couple of tries and with Corey Thomas barging over the ref decided he was held up and disallowed the try. This proved to be a huge turning point in the game because this halted the Stallions momentum as it would have put them within a try of the opposition and they had all the running. Unfortunately Bombala regained their composure and finished with a couple of signature tries through the middle of the field on the back of a couple of repeat sets. All is not lost for the Stallions as there are a couple of players coming back from injury in the next couple of weeks this will bolster the depth and give them confidence leading into the second half of the comp. The game could have easily gone Cooma’s way if the ball stuck and the 50 / 50 calls went our way but this was not to be. The coach has pleaded with the players to stick together and keep coming to training to try and turn things around. The best for Cooma was Corey Thomas while Millard Issa kept trying all day The final scores were Bombala, Merimbula Pambula 38 – Stallions 16.

Cats continue good form with strong win over Eastlake The Australian Hotel Cooma Cats have continued where they left off before last weekend’s mid-season break with a resounding win over the Eastlake Demons at Football Park in Canberra on Sunday. The final score read: Cooma Cats 15-12-102 defeated Eastlake Demons 4-10-34. The win entrenches the Cats in fifth spot on the AFL Canberra Division three Premiership Ladder at the midpoint of the 2012 season. While it was a game the Cats were expected to win, it was the way the Cooma side went about its business in gaining the four all important premiership points which pleased Cooma Cats Club President Dave Paterson the most. “For the third game in a row, the Cats have not only stamped their dominance on the game early, but have then driven home their advantage with goal-filled final quarters and a drive to put away the opposition on the scoreboard,” Dave said. “Our four-quarter fitness has never been better, along with our determination to keep applying the pressure even when the result is beyond doubt. “These are good signs, and the goal-difference percentage points the Cats have gained in recent weeks may well become very important to us as we head towards the business end of the season,” he said. However, Dave was cautious not to get too carried away with the Cats’ current good form. “We’re only just half-way through the season and while we are travelling better than we have been in 20 years, we need to remember that there is still a long way to go,” Dave said. “Coach Damien Asanovski is working hard with the team to keep them focused on the game at hand, and to keep improving the things we’re doing well while working on those things we still need to address,” he said. The Cats lead from the opening bounce against the Eastlake Demons in Sunday’s game, and were never threatened. A key observation is the growing strength of the Cats’

defensive quartet of Joel Smith, Zac Dowden, Travis Dureaux and Jimmy Russell. “Our backline is really becoming one of our key strengths through the way they are now working together to repel opposition attacks,” Dave said. “Zac Bowden’s ability to bring the ball out of defence and turn it into an effective attack has become a real positive for us this year,” he said. The Cats also welcomed back to top form tall-man Shaun Allen who has been struggling with injury and sporadic form so far this year. “With the arrival of new tallman Anthony Brennan to share the rucking duties this year, Shaun has been able to rebuild his fitness and form and this weekend he showed what a great player he is when fully fit,” Dave said. Allen was pivotal across the centre-half forward area providing a strong target as well as proving accurate with the ball. Dave was full of praise for all the Cats’ players who continue to show individual and collective improvement. Even some of the old stagers have found some extra petrol in the tank with players like the evergreen Mick Gratwick making some strong cameos off the bench across the half-forward flank and goal sneak Stu Wood always reliable when given the chance to score. Two of the game’s individual highlights were goals at opposite ends by Stu Wood and Matt Bryant. Wood managed to shark a ball off the ground deep in the forward pocket and screw it over his shoulder for a terrific goal, while Bryant went one better with an amazing

Stewart and Lodge win h’cap pairs Last Saturday the handicap pairs was finalised, three games in minor singles decided and eight people enjoyed social bowls in far from ideal conditions. Col Stewart and Wayne Lodge showed they meant business in the handicap pairs final against Sergio Roncelli and Steven Seears by scoring four shots on the first end and didn’t let up in racing to a 16/7 lead at the halfway point. Despite their best efforts, Sergio and Steven were unable to make up the deficit and Col and Wayne were convincing winners 31/27. In winning nine ends in a row, Tony grey turned a 6/6 situation into an 18/6 lead against John Vincent and then went on to win 31/17. A feature of this match was that of the 35 ends played, 26 were decided by just one shot. Neil McGregor had a dream start in his match with Jason Thompson in scoring 13 shots to nil in the first five ends and continued in that manner to run out 31/15 winner. Rod Hassall started well against Mick Meillon to lead 19/9 at the half way point. Although Mick was able to match Rod in the run home, Rod eventually won 31/20.

In social bowls, Jim Lumsden and Paul Cannell started with five shots on the first end against Ron Wainwright and Nelson Wallace and continued in that manner to win 29/14. Keith Goodwin and Leonie Snell had early success against Allan Crowe and Geoff Venables to lead 12/4. This stung Allan and Geoff into action in the run home but just failed to make up the deficit to go down 18/20. In a mid-week game of minor singles, Jim Lumsden made a good start against Mick Mayhew, but the latter then staged a good comeback for the match to be level at end 13. Two three shot ends put Jim ahead 16/9 and although Mick played some wonderful recovery shots Jim went on to win 31/16. An important date for the ladies is June 26, at 10am when the Annual General Meeting will be held. All ladies are asked to attend so that everyone can have a say in the future of the club. Once the meetings over get behind the elected office bearers and committee and give them your full support, your club depends on it.

The Cats face a tough challenge this Saturday when they take on top four side Belconnen at Snowy Oval in what will be a pivotal match for Cooma. First bounce at 1pm. Call to arms for Cats’ blockbuster this Saturday The Cooma Cats are calling on all of Cooma to get down to Snowy Oval and show their support for the local boys this Saturday when they take on Belconnen in what promises to be one the biggest games of the local 2012 AFL season. Coming off three straight wins, the Cats will take on the in-form Belconnen side as both teams battle it out to cement a top four spot in the AFL Canberra Division Three competition. “There will be a lot riding on this for the Cats because a win will be a real indication of just how far we have come this year and we could also break into the top four,” Cooma Cats Club President Dave Paterson said. The Cats are sitting in fifth position on the premiership table, just outside the top four on percentage behind Belconnen. “We need anyone and everyone in town to come down and support the Cats this Saturday at Snowy Oval and get behind the team, Dave said. “It promises to be a great game, and any extra support will be greatly appreciated by the club,” he said. The game is at Snowy Oval on Saturday, with the First Bounce at 1pm.

Rugby- the game was the winner on the day The Cooma Red Devils took on the Yass Rams at Rotary oval on Saturday afternoon in overcast conditions which were good for football. It was not good for the large crowd that had gathered to watch the Red devils and the golden oldies who were celebrating the 10 year reunion of the grand final side from 2002. Reserve Grade took to the field full of running on Saturday and were completely dominant for the first half. Yass scored a try in the first five minutes but this spurred Cooma into action and for the next 30 minutes the Red Devils took complete control dominating all areas of the game. With Cooma forwards going forward on the back of some strong runs from Mark Fraser, Pat Dorahy and Egan Smith, this allowed the backs room to run but it was the two Boos who scored all the points this week with Credence scoring three tries and handing his fourth off to James Boo Ewart who dived over untouched. Boo was also able convert two of the four tries. This gave Cooma a 24-5 half time lead but whatever was said in the change rooms at half time certainly had an effect on Yass who came out in the second half and blew Cooma off the park scoring three converted tries to steal the game and run out winners 26-24. Disappointing for Cooma but it shows that you have to put in on the training paddock if you want dominated the Yass scrum. Cooma’s only points for the first half came about to get the right results. Points this week 1 Gary Moore, 2 points Mark Fraser, when Will Nicholls was able to pick up a cross field kick from Nathan Boate 3 points Aerial Miners and player’s player went to Credence Bartlett. and score out wide. Cooma went into half time down 21-5 and looked to regroup and put up First Grade was looking for revenge against Yass after losing to them in a better fight and started the half well regaining the kick off and working the the second round in Yass. ball down the field with some good picking and driving from the forwards So with a home ground advantage and a large crowd Cooma was looking and with good ball retention James Strange was able to dive over for his first to avenge the score. try of the afternoon. It was Yass who came out firing and put a lot of pressure on Cooma and Yass again replied with a try of their own but Cooma was able to get down it was not long before Yass had crossed the line for the first time for the the other end and again put points on the board when Pat Egan crashed afternoon. over under the posts. The problem was Yass again hit straight back with Cooma tried to regroup but it was Yass who had all the answers and every another try, much to Cooma’s disappointment. The Red Devils again were time Cooma looked to be building pressure and starting to make inroads able to build pressure through the forwards and again James Strange through the Yass defence, the Red Devils either made a mistake or turned crossed for his second try of the afternoon. Yass scored one last try to finish over easy ball. the game winners 45-26.

Fillies resounding win over Merimbula/Pambula/Bombala

BE ENTERTAINED Sport

3 BIG ACTS

ONE BIG SHOW

Maree Ingram dashes away for the Fillies against Bombala. The Cooma Fillies travelled to Bombala to take on the Merimbula/Pambula/Bombala Bulldogs in what was only their second game of the season. While the girls had trained hard in the monthlong break between their games, they were anxious to see how they would perform on the field against a match-fit opposition. The Fillies kicked off to begin the first half and after a strong defensive set, got quickly into the rhythm of the game. Maree Ingram shimmied through defence to score under the posts in only the second minute of the game which opened the floodgates for a torrent of points. The defensive line was steadfast, lead by Patrice Ingram, Tracy Frazer and Georgie Clarke, and kept the Bulldogs within their own end of the field for much of the first half. As a result, the Fillies were able to capitalise on this field position with more points. Alicia Clarke’s deceptive footwork from dummy half had her across the try line before Anna Steel’s ‘show and go’ continued the blitzkrieg of points. Line breaks from Zoe Lynch, Alana Nichols and Georgie Clarke continued the Fillies attacking onslaught before Maree Ingram ran the length to score. Kate Schofield’s goal kicking was without error in the first half, and as the half time siren sounded, the Fillies found themselves on top, 22-

0. The second half continued with the same fervour as the first, and a resolution to keep the opposition scoreless. Alicia Clarke got her second try within the opening set of the half, stepping off her right foot and breaking the line 40m out, outrunning the defence for her points. Try-scoring machine Jade Lee hit a gaping hole to race through for her first, before Kate Schofield ran a masterful line to score out wide before Jade Lee finished the day off with a second lengthy try. Meg Bracher remained solid at fullback all day, running the ball back with vigour and gaining valuable ground, while Monique Ingram, Kirrily Carberry and Abby Schofield kept the defence up for the remainder of the game. It was a well-deserved win from the Cooma girls, who will take this enthusiasm into next week’s home game against Eden to hopefully continue this winning culture within the team. Well done Fillies! Points this week went to: 3 – Patrice Ingram, 2 – Tracy Frazer, 1 – Georgie Clarke Players’ Player: Tracy Frazer Cooma Fillies 46 (Maree Ingram, 2, Alicia Clarke, 2, Jade Lee, 2, Anna Steel, Kate Schofield; Kate Schofield 7/8) def.
