St Mary’s 150th a joyous occasion

The Right Rev. Stuart Robinson, Bishop of Canberra Goulburn (left) and acting rector, Berridale and Snowy Mountains (right) ready to leave Gegedzerick homestead on Sunday morning. They were conveyed to the church in buggies pulled by ‘Dalenburg Lester’, driven

by Fiona Stone and ‘Kiandra Clyde’, driven by Colin Reid and held by Myles.

About 300 people attended the sesquicentenary of St Mary’s Anglican Church, Gegedzerick last Sunday.

With too many people to fit into the small stone church, two marquees were erected to accommodate worshippers.

The celebrations started with the arrival of Bishop Stuart Robinson and acting Rector of Berridale and Snowy Mountains, Lloyd Bennett, in two horse-drawn buggies.

They were joined along the road by parishioners for the last 200 metres.

The service on Sunday was taken from the Book of Common Prayer of 1662.

It included the dedication of a replacement cross for the church, the original having been stolen some months previously.

The service was carried out by Bishop Robinson, Rev. Bennett, Rev Gordon Thomas, Rev Dalba Primmer, Rev Bob Lindbeck and Rev Anne Dudzinski, with lessons read

by Snowy River Shire general manager Joe Vescio and mayor, John Cahiil.

The thanks was given by Vi Jamieson.

To conclude the ceremonies, a cake, made by Esma Burling in the shape of St Marys, was cut by the Bishop.

The congregation then enjoyed lunch and many availed themselves of a guided tour through the adjoining graveyard.

Music for the celebrations was provided by the Cooma Town Band and vocals by the Snowy Mountains singers.

The whole ceremony was one of laughter and joyousness, with many local families represented.

Council hands down decision on Michelago airstrip

Ms Love also stated that they never intended to be a nuisance to the community, wishing to assure everyone that they did not want to cause anyone any problems. The applicants added they had already done much to enhance the visual corridor on their land.

But aside from concerns with the applicants’ continued development of the site and their failure to adhere to orders to remove unauthorised shipping containers and a demountable structure from the property, Council and local residents expressed concern over the length of the runways. If fully developed as bitumen runways in both directions, the airfield would be a significant development and seemed excessive for use as a private facility. The general concern was that it could be used for commercial purposes.

Both Mr Clearihan and Ms Love emphatically denied this and stated

they needed the longer runways to accommodate gliders.

Following deliberations, Council decided to refuse the application based on the belief that the extent, nature and proposed level of activities for the proposed airfield would be detrimental to the area within the proposed location as it would adversely affect the quality of life of the occupants of the neighbouring dwellings as well as other residences in the vicinity. Also, the significant number of objections received and the concerns expressed in the submissions added to the decision to refuse the DA. The applicants will be allowed a further four weeks to comply with the Order 2(d) issued on 9 March 2010 to remove the shipping containers.

The unauthorised transportable building is to be removed within 60 days of the Order being issued.

It was great to see such high quality editorial combined with very strong support from advertisers. I think that some metropolitan newspaper publishers could take a lesson from The Monaro Post. Well done and congratulations.”

Council to cease all activities while the DA was under consideration.

While three local residents spoke in support of the application, the majority spoke out strongly against the application being approved, especially those whose properties are in close proximity to the development.

The applicants, Chris Clearihan and Cheryl Love both spoke in support of their application during the open forum of the meeting, with Mr Clearihan stressing his willingness to be a valued member of the Michelago community. While he understands that he may have initially made some mistakes in his dealings with local residents and with the handling of his DA, he still believes he can bring improvements to the community and is willing to co-operate with the locals.

After much discussion and several deferments, Cooma-Monaro Shire Council finally handed down their decision on Development Application 66/10, the proposal for a private airstrip and storage facility at Michelago.

The development has been the

subject of heated debate between the landowners and neighbouring residents for some time, with the local community voicing great concern over the impact of the development on their quality of life and the community in general, as well as with the landowners continued work on the site in contradiction of orders from the

Year of Women in Local Government With the next council elections only two years away, councils around Australia are being encouraged to celebrate the Year of Women in Local Government.

A meeting is being convened to discuss how this can be done.

Local women are invited to attend a meeting in the Berridale Chambers on Thursday October 21 to discuss ways to encourage more female involvement in the Snowy River Shire Council.

Those interested in learning more about decisionmaking roles as a future councillor and those looking for a career in local government are encouraged to attend. The meeting will be held at: Snowy River Shire Council Chambers, 2 Myack Street Berridale, Thursday October 21 from 1.30pm to 2.30pm Councillors Neen Pendergast, Kris Laird and Jan Leckström are pleased that Snowy River Shire Council now has three women elected to council, the most in the Shire’s history.

They want to take the opportunity offered by the ‘Year of Women in Local Government’ to discuss what’s involved in becoming a councillor or choosing a career in local government with local women.

Organiser Cr Laird said “I know how busy most women are, so I want to keep the meeting focused.

“Those who are not in a hurry because of their responsibilities to get home can stay on a while and enjoy a tea or coffee with other participants.

“This is the second meeting held about on this important subject and there are other meetings planned over the next two years leading up to the Council election in September 2012. Hopefully by then we’ll have a group of women who will consider standing for election as well as a group that will assist women who do.

“Anyone who would like more information can contact me on 0429 910 521 or email me at kris. laird@snowyriver.nsw.gov.au.”

You can also contact Cr Neen Pendergast on 02 6454 2454 or 0409 849 641; Cr Jan Leckström on 0400 406 729 or by email at jan.leckstrom@ snowyriver.nsw.gov.au; or contact Snowy River Shire Council reception on 6451 1195.

Come along, meet and talk to your local female Councillors and senior staff, and have some of your questions answered.

Year Ten Drama at Monaro High School.

Monaro high school selected for international theatre festival Monaro High School is one of only three Australian schools or groups that have been selected to participate in the prestigious Connections 2011 Theatre Program run by the National Theatre in London .

The theatre was swamped with applications before deciding on 200 schools or youth theatre groups from across the UK. Eight international groups were also selected, three of them being from Australia.

The three groups chosen from Australia were NIDA; The NSW Public Schools State Drama company and Monaro High School.

The National Theatre is regarded as one of the world’s great theatres.

Each year the National Theatre organises the Connections program to create meaningful and vibrant new theatre for young people.

Ten professional playwrights are commissioned to write new works which are then forwarded to the selected companies or schools.

The companies or schools then choose one of the plays to stage.

The Year Ten Drama class at Monaro High School has spent the last term examining each of the 10 new plays before choosing the play that they will produce.

The class has chosen “Shooting Truth” by Molly Davies. Molly Davies has recently had her plays staged at the Royal Court Theatre in London.

As part of the program the class will liaise directly with the playwright providing feedback on their progress and receiving guidance from her directly.

Double Double toil and trouble, Fires burn and Caldrons bubble, Calling all witches, goblins and ghosts, Office Play will be your host.

The school will premiere the play in term one 2011.

Head of Drama, Ian Greig said ”It’s a wonderful exciting opportunity for the students and a huge honour for the school.

The students will learn so much by staging a new play. The students and I will work closely on the direction and production of our “world premiere”.

As part of the program Ian Greig will travel to London to attend workshops with the directors of the national theatre and to meet and work with Molly Davies directly.

Principal Adrian Bell said, “This fantastic opportunity will only further enhance the school’s excellent reputation in the Performing Arts.

For a country school to be part of a major international program is a wonderful achievement and reflects the quality learning that takes place at Monaro High School.”

The school has a proud tradition in Drama, it is a popular subject that has produced many outstanding results.

The school has staged many successful performances including some from previous Connections programs such as Philip Ridley’s “Sparkleshark.”

The Year 10 class are also currently working on staging two other plays for later in the term: Chat Room by Edna Walsh and Daffodil Scissors by Philip Ridley

Cloud seeding requires serious consideration Editor, We have heard that Snowy Hydro reported earlier this year that cloud seeding could increase snowfall by 14 percent, without adverse environmental impacts or downwind effects.

The company says that these results were the outcome of an independent scientific assessment, and that there were two peer reviews which supported the conclusions.

From my inquiries I have learnt that the scientists involved are publishing this research in peer reviewed scientific journals – this is what we would normally expect from a genuine scientific research program.

Separate to this, the New South Wales government is undertaking its own further independent review, using its own experts.

That review is being conducted by the NSW Natural Resources Commission, and the Commission is expected to report its findings within a few weeks.

Just to establish the bona fides and credibility of the Natural Resources Commssion, it is worth noting that this organisation is

Another Curley One

headed up by Dr John Williams, a former Chief of Division of the CSIRO, and also a member of the Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists.

I think given the implications of the Murray Darling Basin Plan proposal and the proposed cuts in water allocations, cloud seeding must be given serious consideration.

Most importantly, surely we should hear what Dr Williams and the Natural Resources Commission has to say about cloud seeding, before concerns about poisoning with chemicals and down wind impacts are given further consideration - at least there will be further independent evidence on the table, rather than relying on local hearsay and the favourite pastime when things are crook of “looking for someone else to blame”.

What a lovely day Sunday was for the worshippers of St Mary’s, Gegedzerick.

With 150 years under her belt, the little stone church is looking in the peak of condition and set for many more.

While Mary Mackillop was being feted in Rome, Bishop Stuart Robinson, paid tribute to a more local heroine, Mary Andrews, a former Berridale girl.

As the Bishop said, while “they” have a special Mary, so does Berridale.

Spare a thought for the hardy souls who enjoyed the annual Girder fork rally through the region last weekend. Rain, hail, snow – nothing deterred these veteran motorcyclist owners, even if a few did some extra encouraging to get going on Saturday morning.

Kudos too, to the organisers of the Sip ‘n’ Swing night on Saturday in Cooma. It’s amazing how creative some people can be with cardboard, gaffer tape and paint..

However, some were a tad disappointed the MC, Monsieur David Learoyd did not preface his repartee with “Listen closely, I vill zay zis only once…”

The music was great, the food delicious and all around a great night was had by all.

But he did get extra points for his ‘song’……Vive la France!

Bird Seed Woes Jasmine Redhead, Sky Burdett, Julian Redhead, Kayla Burdett under the motherly eye of Felicity Redhead were quick off the mark at 8.30am and ready to collect rubbish in Banjo Paterson Park.

On last Saturday which was unseasonably bitterly cold, more than 90 individuals in addition to volunteers from Emergency Services, the Bush Pigs, the Dragon Boat girls and other organisations, signed on to clean up Jindabyne.

Organiser of the event, Alan (Barney) Davis reported that the amount of rubbish collected filled one large skip and five or six bins of cardboard and bottles. He said the event proved that “people do care about their town and Jindabyne

does have a heart.”

He added that by keeping Jindabyne tidy, it would be good for summer tourism.

By 12.30pm in the Memorial Hall, the volunteers satisfied their hunger by supporting Cystic Fibrosis NSW at the Lions barbeque for which donations were made by Tip Top Bakery, Jindabyne Butchery and the Fruit Dude, and then had a relaxed family afternoon with live music.

Poor nutrition is still a leading cause of illness and poor health in aviary birds. Many bird keepers often selectively forget losses in their aviaries, like the young birds that have died over the years and the low number of young being hatched. Much of the time these are problems that relate directly back to poor nutrition and can be easily solved with the correct diet.

A prime example - Feeding ‘wild bird mix’ to aviary birds in order to save money.

All it takes is a realistic look at what is happening when these mixes are fed, how much seed is wasted and the huge nutritional gap that is left in the birds diet – you can soon make the connection that these wild bird mixes are the actually the most expensive feed on the market and are guaranteed to give you the worst results.

Farewell to health service head NSW Health Director-General, Professor Debora Picone AM, has congratulated outgoing acting Chief Executive of Greater Southern Area Health Service (GSAHS), Dr Maggie Jamieson on her new appointment as Chief Executive of Lifeline Australia.

Professor Picone said Dr Jamieson, who has been with GSAHS since 2005 and acting Chief Executive of GSAHS for the past 10 months, has had a long and distinguished career in the NSW health system.

“Maggie has displayed outstanding professionalism throughout her 20 year career in health and has helped to deliver quality health services to hundreds of communities,” she said.

“Over the years she has built a cohesive team to deliver major health programs in the region – notably the Aboriginal Maternal & Infant Health Strategy to support antenatal and post natal care for mothers and their babies in Narrandera and Leeton.

“The Baxter Award-winning program created the Koori Mum’s and Bubs group which provided antenatal classes to Indigenous families and gave local mothers the opportunity to get together and share their ideas and experiences.

“Maggie has also lead efforts to increase staffing for the Aboriginal Health team and driven innovative programs like ‘Tai Chi for Arthritis’ to keep older people healthy and

relaxed.

“With more than 60 towns across the GSAHS involved in the Tai Chi initiative, many residents living in rural and remote areas now have an opportunity to participate in regular physical activity.”

Professor Picone said Dr Jamieson’s leadership and commitment was valued by the organisation.

“I am extremely proud of Maggie’s record of achievements and I wish her every success with her new role at Lifeline – she will be a great asset.”

Dr Jamieson will continue as acting Chief Executive of GSAHS until the end of 2010.

USELESS VAGRANCY How sad it is to hear we have residents of this district going around throwing eggs at people’s homes and destroying gardens – not only does it make you angry but these people need help.

They must be so bored and they should not be as we have so many volunteers wanted in our area and The Hub has so many activities for young people not to mention all the sporting groups.

What can we do – I certainly do not have the answer?

BIRTHDAYS GALORE Many happy returns of the day to Marlies Keppel and Marion Mondello who celebrated their birthdays recently.

Marion is planning a luncheon with her friends next weekend and spent the day with family on the actual day.

She is recovering from her recent overseas trip of eight weeks which she enjoyed very much (loved seeing her Mother too)!!

Marlies spent the day quietly with afternoon tea with friends as she is recovering from a shoulder operation but is looking forward to her overseas trip in November where she will attend a friend’s formal wedding.

Best Wishes to you both.

Thank you.

Riposte Lisa Ashurst Have you ever noticed how men have a totally different concept from women when it comes to washing hands? Actually they have a completely different idea to women altogether when it comes to what constitutes the need to wash them in the first place. They can have god-knows-what in copious amounts from fingertips to elbows, entire ecosystems alive and well beneath their nails yet can fail to see the problem of using said hands as food utensils.

As the twins were growing up, I noticed that my idea of grubby hands was very different to theirs. Apparently grease, oil and other blokey stuff was not necessarily dirt and therefore it was quite okay to make a couple of sandwiches and eat them without making a trip to the washbasin first. In my opinion it was not okay at all and there were a few scenes when I had to get really heavy and hound them into the bathroom.

Which brings us to the actual hand washing bit. What I noticed was that the size of the dirty mark on the handtowel was directly related to the amount of grot on their hands.

For some reason, guys can have all the soap and water in the world at their disposal yet they can still manage to transfer most of it to the towel...after they’ve allegedly washed it off!

This is something I don’t get. How do clean hands totally destroy a handtowel? Fortunately the twins grew out of it which, for their sakes, was just as well!

So what got me thinking of all that stuff now? Well, I think it was the smell of oil (or something) in the kitchen sink, on the washing-up sponge, the other sponge, the bench top and the kitchen handtowel. I stepped back into the lounge with a question on my lips and my eyes flicked out of habit to Twin I’s hands but they were nice and clean, as were the bicycle and skateboard parts that were now spread out all over my good rug!

Right! So, could we please explain why we used all those things connected with washing the dishes to clean greasy, oily bicycle and skateboard parts and while we’re on the subject, whatever possessed us to do it in the kitchen sink!!! Because male logic told us that if we used the bathroom vanity and Mum’s exfoliating gloves or the face washers we may not live to see another day! Yeah? And what made us think the kitchen sink etc was going to be a safer bet?!

It wasn’t!!!

Does your family adhere to the traditional Aussie Sunday lunch?

Are you a whizz-bang cook who can create a great family meal to feed the hordes on a Sunday – either for a special occasion or on a weekly basis?

Do you use Sundays as the best day for the family to get together, even occasionally?

If you answered yes to any of these, then the NSW Agricultural Societies Council would like to include your recipes in a new cookbook to be printed by New Holland.

This year, the ASC produced “The County Show Cookbook�, which included prize-winning recipes from cooks from around the NSW show circuit.

Local cooks Margaret Barron, Nikki Harmer and Margaret Weeks, were all included in the 2010 book.

Locally, the cookbook was a sell-out and very popular statewide.

For 2011, the ASC wants to produce another book, using recipes which aren’t possible to be included in show competitions, such as entrees, mains and dessert for a Sunday lunch.

While there is sure to be a plethora of ideas for roast lamb, the ASC would like to have other options available too.

Each show society has been asked to submit three different recipes from a variety of categories including entree, main, dessert, drinks, dips, cakes, H’orderves, to family favourites, anything which represents food that is served for lunch.

If there are any stories about lunches at your place, we would also like to receive these.

Keen cooks can submit their recipes to the Cooma Pastoral and Agricultural Association, who will forward them on to the ASC. Entry forms are available from Dale Coyte at South East Printing, in Commissioner Street, Cooma.

The Cooma P & A will need to receive your entries by November 10. For more information call the president on 0408 930 180.

Please post entries to PO Box 1227, or drop them into The Monaro Post office, SMEC complex, 220 Sharp Street Cooma.

Land Sales Ease, Confirming Weaker Housing Outlook Land sales eased in most Australian capital cities over the June 2010 quarter, according to the latest residential land report from HIA, the voice of Australia’s residential building industry, and rpdata. com, Australia’s leading property information and analytics provider.

The weighted median residential land value for Australia eased by 3.6 per cent over the quarter, but was up 2 per cent over the year to June.

Sydney remains the most expensive residential land market in the nation with a median value of $280,000. The Sunshine Coast in Queensland is the second most expensive land market with a median value of $261,750, followed by the Gold Coast ($235,000), Richmond Tweed ($228,700) in New South Wales, and Perth ($227,000).

HIA Chief Economist Harley Dale said the HIA-rpdata.com Residential Land Report signals a weaker outlook for new home building in 2011. “A sustained weakening in residential land sales volumes over the nine months to

June 2010 and a raft of other leading indicators point to a renewed downturn in new home starts next year,” Dr Dale said.

“That is a sobering outlook, particularly in the context of a very tight rental market, which is already placing enormous pressure on low and middle income renters and aspiring first home buyers,” Harley Dale said.

There are twelve markets across Australia with median land values of $100,000 or less. The most affordable land market in Australia is the Mallee region of Victoria ($72,250), followed by the Murray Lands ($75,000) and South East ($78,850) regions in South Australia, and the Mersey-Lyell ($80,000) and Southern ($87,000) regions in Tasmania.

RPdata.com senior research analyst Cameron Kusher said falling land volumes and values is mirroring the experience of the established housing market.

“Values of established residential dwellings have been easing in recent months, as have volumes, and the

market for vacant land is experiencing a similar slowdown. The lack of sales activity is a worrying sign given the population continues to grow at a level well above average.”

“Despite the fact that sales volumes have fallen, it does not necessarily indicate falling demand and has more to do with affordability factors and the high price of serviceable land. Australia’s growing population is providing plenty of demand for vacant land, the issue is the price and location of the available land.”

Mr Kusher anticipates that the weakness in sales activity for vacant land will persist over the September quarter.

“Although economic indicators such as employment and consumer confidence are positive, the key housing market data including: building approvals, housing finance and values of houses and units are all flat or falling. Overall, this data suggests that sales activity for vacant land will continue to soften over the coming months,” Cameron Kusher said.

BER Finale The Federal Government’s National Schools Solar Program has funded the most recent addition to the St Patrick’s schools upgrade. During the recent school holidays St Patrick’s had the 6kW Solar system

installed on the roof of the stage 1 building and it was putting out a surprising 5,200 watts on its first trial last Wednesday.

This is being linked to the power grid and will help offset the schools large electricity bills in the future.

St Patricks principal Phil Stubbs with Sister Magdalene, of the St Josephs order.

St Patrick’s Parish school celebrated the impending canonisation of Mary Mackillop, Australia’s first saint, on Friday with a school mass.

Students from kindergarten through to year 10 as well as teachers, parents and friends all attended.

A special guest for the day’s celebrations was Sister Magdalene of the Saint Josephs order.

Sister Bernadette was unable to make the visit but was there in spirit. This is the same order of nuns that Mary MacKillop started back in 1866 in Penola in South Australia.

The students gave speeches of Mary Mackillops life and told of her hardships as a young girl.

They spoke of her help to the poor and under privilidged people and her initiation of education in the catholic school system that was made available to everybody.

Sister Magdalene told many more stories about Mary including one that Mary Mackillop had once visited Cooma in 1899. She had caught the coach from Bombala and the local priest met her in town and brought her back to the Brigandine convent, which is now part of St Patrick’s school. Sister Magdalene also said the students are very lucky because part of their school is very a hallowed spot because a saint has been there.

Basin Plan impact “grossly underestimated” The social impact of the Guide to the Murray Darling Basin Plan (MDBP) has been “grossly underestimated” by the Federal Government and Murray Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) according to NSW Farmers’ Association.

NSW Farmers’ Association Water spokesman John Ward said the community of Griffith is still coming to terms with the MDBA consultation meeting with a huge outpour of emotional distress.

“It is an understatement to say the meeting in Griffith was full of emotion, with people extremely angry by the process and extremely upset about the uncertainty and future of their town,” Mr Ward said.

“My phone has not stopped ringing since yesterday’s meeting, with farmers, business people and community members looking for answers.

“People want to know how this process got so far down the track, without the MDBA taking into account the impact this Plan was going to have on the people it affected – such as the people of Griffith.

“To date, the process delivered by the MDBA has been that of a very sterile nature – totally disregarding the affect the Plan would have on the people of Griffith,” Mr Ward said.

Among the many speakers at yesterday’s meeting in Griffith, a mental health worker highlighted the enormous impact this was having in the town and the massive outcry for help over the last few weeks.

“While this issue is about the environment and food production, it must also take into account the people who work and live here,” Mr Ward said.

“Griffith is a very proud and strong community that has pulled together in times of adversity, but this issue has devastated the town.

As the MDBA Information Sessions continue to make their way around NSW, Mr Ward is concerned the emotional stress will also continue.

“We do welcome the Inquiry announced by the Federal Government, however the Government must acknowledge the distress the process has already caused and provide additional services to cope with it,” Mr Ward said.

“The root of the problem lies in the Water Act – which must be changed to force the MDBA to give equal consideration to the social, economic and environmental concerns in developing the Plan,” Mr Ward concluded.

AUCTION - “Braeside” Adaminaby

Wednesday October 20, 2010

Don’t risk a bad dognosis Forty percent of dog owners wrongly turn to internet search engines for dog health advice.

Up to 40 per cent of dog owners have used online search engines to diagnose their dog’s condition before visiting a vet, according to just released research by PawClub.com.au - a new dog care website aimed at prospective and current dog owners.

The study, which surveyed 90 vets and veterinary nurses across Australia has revealed the negative impact internet search engines are having on dog care diagnosis – ‘Dognosis’.

Worryingly, the online diagnosis is likely to be inaccurate, with vets claiming nine out of 10 dog owners incorrectly diagnosed their dog’s condition by either jumping to the ‘worst case scenario,’ using irrelevant international medical information and in some cases using cat care information for dogs.

Leading vet and media personality, Dr Michael Archinal says using online search tools can be a very dangerous way to diagnose your dog’s condition.

“Using online search engines to diagnose your dog, is potentially more dangerous than diagnosing human symptoms, simply because your dog cannot tell you what’s wrong. I have been involved in cases at my hospital where on a list of possible diagnoses’ the client has researched the conditions online jumped to the wrong conclusion and assumed the ‘worst case scenario.’ In some instances dog owners use US based pet websites and apply it to their

dog. They are often not aware that Australia sometimes has more advanced medications and treatment options available in comparison to the rest of the world.”

Despite these findings, 72 per cent of vets would recommend a credible dog care website such as PawClub.com.au to their clients for general dog care advice.

“The new PawClub site is a great resource for general dog care information” continued Dr Ark. “The ‘Ask a vet’ section in particular is a great way for dog owners to connect with a vet online, which is perfect for time poor dog owners who may not be able to get a vet straight away. I also like the treatment reminders which help you remember your dog’s vaccinations.”

PawClub.com.au aims to fill the need for online dog care information by providing dog owners and potential dog owners with the resources and support they are searching for, bridging the gap between vets and the online space.

Becoming a Pawclub.com.au member is free of charge and by doing so dog owners will receive tailored newsletters including treatment reminders and access to veterinary advice.

As part of PawClub’s focus on happy, healthy dogs, right now when you sign up to become a PawClub member, you will be given a choice of either receiving a free PawClub lead, or PawClub will donate two dollars to Assistance Dogs Australia on your behalf.

Busy stalls at farm field day

Stallholders were kept busy at the Bredbo Farm Field day/

A new voice for rural women October 15 was the International Day of Rural Women, a day which recognises the contribution of rural women to Australian life, its national development and economy.

To coincide with this significant day the National Rural Women’s Coalition (The Coalition) will launch a new National Rural Women’s Network (The Network) in Griffith, NSW on Saturday October 23 There are 137,000 farms in Australia so of the 34 percent of the Australian population based in rural areas, all are not farmers said Chair of The Coalition Lesley Young today.

“Rural women are not a special minority group – they are a basic component of the Australian population, and make a very significant contribution to its economy. The demarcation between rural and urban women in Australia should only be geography, not disadvantage. The difference lies in the distribution of the resources and opportunities.

At last month’s UN Summit on the Millennium Development Goals in New York, all member states, including Australia, pledged to ensure equal access for rural women to full and equal participation in national development as equal partners, not as beneficiaries. On this International Day we call on the Australian government to ensure that rural women and girls enjoy the full range of rights and opportunities as their metropolitan counterparts.”

That is not yet the case in Australia. One example: it is not uncommon for rural women

and their families to have to leave their home and move closer to cities for health care incurring, child care, maternal care, accommodation and travel costs that are not incurred by their metropolitan counterparts. A pregnant woman with a potentially problematic birth may have to relocate to a city or larger centre up to a month before delivery, having to find childcare for other children, suffering isolation, expense and separation from family at this important time.

The new national Network will give women from rural Australia a national platform, training and support for the wider use of traditional as well as social networking technology as a means to improve and share communication, share stories, the flow of ideas and opportunities to advocate for rural issues.

Mrs Young said that the official launch of the Network is an important development for the Coalition and for rural and regional women across Australia. Advances in technology and the planned roll out of the National Broadband Network will make it possible to connect rural and regional women where ever they are located, whatever their status or their communication issues, to interact with one another and have a stronger voice ensuring that rural women’s issues are firmly on the agenda.

Women from rural Australia are invited to join the new network by registering on line at www. nrwcn.org.au , by email at eo@nrwcn.org.au or by calling the Network at 03 54223238.

Students can speak their minds Locusts, vegetables, flowers and the country versus the big smoke debate, will be the hot topics when Years 5 to 10 students speak their minds in a bid to win cash prizes in the LandLearn NSW Speech Spectacular.

Industry & Investment (I&I) NSW education officer, Carolyn Smith, said the competition is open to students across NSW with first-round entries closing on Friday, December 17.

Topics which the young speakers have been asked to address are: • Locusts do more harm than good • It is better to plant a potato than a rose, or

• Working in the country is better than working in the city.

Grassroots 19 Mates helping mates in the Monaro A series of ‘Mate Helping Mate’ community events will be held in Bungarby on of November 11 at 11am Guest speaker for the events will be John Harper, farmer and founder of the Mate Helping Mate program.

In his home town of Stockinbingal, John recognised that people were becoming isolated or socially withdrawn as a consequence of the continuing drought and other factors.

John decided to do something about it. He wanted to ‘recreate a Friday night of times past’, to have a relaxed and informal evening where men could open up and discuss matter and issues with others in a similar position. From this the concept of Mate Helping Mate was born.

Since then, Mate Helping Mate events were held across the Riverina, and John has been invited to present on Mate Helping Mate to other interested communities across NSW. John presents his information in a relaxed, humorous and easily

understood manner, and utilises a lot of interesting and ingenious props.

Mate Helping Mate events will be held at: Bungarby Fire Shed on the 11/11/10 at 11am. Remembrance Day ceremony followed by BBQ lunch and John’s talk.

RSVP for catering purposes to Sarah on 64536240 These are free family events, and food will be provided.

Bring a mate, have a catch up and enjoy a good time!

This event is funded by the Catholic Care and NSW Department of Industry and Investment; and is supported by Greater Southern Area Health Service and Monaro Rural Health Service.

For more information, contact Meridee Bladwell (Catholic Care) on 0448838970 or Dick Kearins (Industry and Investment) on 0427781514..

Quick, clean shearers wanted Community Link Program Shearers from all over the Monaro and other sheep-strong regions will compete at the Dalgety showground’s sheep pavilion in a quick shear competition on Saturday, October 30.

Held in conjunction with the Dalgety Show Society’s Team Penning event, the shearing competition will find out who is the quickest and cleanest shearer in southern NSW. In 1892, one of Australia’s most famous shearers, Jackie Howe, shore 321 sheep in seven hours and 40 minutes, using blade shears thereby setting a record.

How fast can a shearer shear with mechanical shears?

Judging is strict and a shearer will be penalised if they handle their sheep roughly, do not throw the belly wool clear, if there is evidence of second cuts on the fleece, cuts or injury to the sheep, any wool tufts left on the sheep after shearing, and many more.

Sheep shearing has a long tradition in Australia and especially around the Monaro.

Shearing hasn’t been without controversy. In 1983 the Australian shearing industry was disrupted by the wide comb dispute.

Wide combs were introduced

to Australia by shearers from New Zealand. In 1984, Australia permitted the use of wide combs.

In 2009 the Australian Sports Commission was asked to recognise shearing as a sport but it refused saying shearing was an occupation not a sport.

This was despite the wellknown physicality of shearing and the fitness shearers must retain to continue shearing.

Attend any shearing shed when shearing is in process and you will agree just how physically demanding shearing is. Shearers start their workday at 7:30 am and the day is divided into four “runs” of two hours each. Morning tea is from 9.30 to 10am, lunch is called at 12 noon for an hour and the afternoon break is at 3 pm.

Shearing stops at 5pm.

A long day in anyone’s thinking.

Come out to the Dalgety showground and see for yourself how tough shearing can be. Entry to the showground is free.

Phone Shelley Thompson on 6456 5015 to enter. Shearing competitors pay $20 to compete.

Get your entries in quickly. There’s an Open class and a Learners class.

COOMA-MONARO SHIRE COUNCIL PLANNING PROPOSAL AMENDMENT OF COOMA-MONARO LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN 1999 - (RURAL) TO ALLOW SUBDIVISION FOR INFRASTRUCTURE PURPOSES To facilitate the development of infrastructure and extractive industries in the Cooma-Monaro local government area, Council wishes to amend the Cooma-Monaro Local Environmental Plan 1999 - (Rural) to allow subdivision for infrastructure purposes.

Currently clause 14(2A) of the Cooma-Monaro Local Environmental Plan 1999 (Rural) requires that land be a ‘1997 holding’ for consent to be granted for the subdivision of land. The current provisions have been identified as being impractical in relation to land required for infrastructure or extractive industries purposes as such land may not be a ‘1997 holding’.

The proposed amendment is intended to allow subdivision for infrastructure and extractive industries purposes without the need for a ‘1997 holding’.

It is intended that the proposed amendment will apply to land zoned 1(a) (Rural Zone) and 7(d) Environment Protection (Scenic) under the Cooma-Monaro Local Environmental Plan 1999 - (Rural) for both private and public infrastructure and extractive industries.

It is also intended that: · a lot created for infrastructure purposes would not be able to have a dwelling erected on it, · the residual lot would only be able to have a dwelling erected on it with consent, if a dwelling was permissible with consent prior to the subdivision.

The Planning Proposal can be inspected at: · Cooma-Monaro Shire Council administration office at 81 Commissioner Street, Cooma · Monaro Regional Library and Information Services (temporary office) at SMEC Headquarters 220 Sharp Street, Cooma · Cooma-Monaro Shire Council’s website www.cooma.nsw.gov.au Written submissions on the Planning Proposal will be received by CoomaMonaro Shire Council no later than 4.30pm Friday, 19 November 2010. Written submissions should be addressed to: General Manager, Cooma-Monaro Shire Council PO Box 714 COOMA NSW 2630 If you wish to discuss this matter contact Sue Robb or Ron Dakin at Cooma-Monaro Shire Council on 6455 1777.

Kenta Solutions stocks a large range of lots of different types of energy and water saving devices as well as solar grid systems.

“I will be teaching people anything about solar hot water systems and introducing a new hot water system which is suitable for areas down to minus 20 degrees, so perfect for this region.” Said Tom Black, owner of Kenta Solutions. “It’s the only one

of its kind and we are the exclusive agent for this product in this area. I invite you to come along and learn how to save.”

Solar Christmas lights are now available to help you keep the cost of Christmas down too. The idea is to change the mindset of what to look for, especially in a grid connect solar power system.

They will be promoting a bulk buy grid connect solar scheme on the evening and for every 10 kilowatts sold they will donate a one kilowatt system to a local charity. You the general public gets to choose the charity it goes to from a list available at the shop.

If you are a charity and would like your charity included on the list or you would like to nominate a charity call Kenta Solution on 6452 6155 or pop in for a chat, next to the bridge Sharp Street.

The tall ship is train a ‘Sail training ship’ that is 44 lo metres long weig and weighs tonnes it 239 tonnes; was a gift for fro Australia from Unit the United Kingdom

other better and climbed up the 32-metre mast. Ariel said he’s not scared of heights but it was a bit daunting at first to climb that high but you soon get used to it, “climbing it at night with just the lights on is so amazing.”

“Because it is run by the Navy I thought the trip might be pretty strict but the only thing they are really strict on is the safety aspect. Everything else, they are great, chilled a fantastic group of people. We had lots of lectures on how the sails work, how to put them up and take them down and because there were about six different types of sails each one had their own way of going up and coming down.

Once the navy guys on the ship found out I was joining the Army next year they spent the trip trying to convince me to join the Navy instead. This trip has definitely made me want to do more sailing but as far as a career I’m still happy to join the Army not the Navy.”

Luckily for Ariel he didn’t suffer from seasickness although it probably helped that they re protected from were e larger swells the by the Great bicenten rrier Reef for Australia’s bicentenary Barrier 1988. of colonisation in for the 19 to 29 Ariel sailed as 10-day -day From August crew onboard the You p. part of the youth Young trip.

Townsville down the Gre Endeavour from Great Mackay in Queensland.

Barrier Reef to It was his mum who first suggest suggested the trip, about two ye Ariel apply for years successful then but tthis ago, he wasn’t a position onboard. He year he gained online application as d applied via an did crewmembers from all the other youth Australia.

Ariel was the only pers over person Cooma and didn’t know anyo from anyone when he first arrived af else onboard after from Canberra. his plane flight was spent at Magne The first night Magnetic just off Townsville, whe Island, where crewmembers we the 24 youth were into groups of eight per watch. watc divided by a crew from the Ro The ship is run Royal Australian Navy and that first nig night the various watches played games to get to know each They had frequent sstops along the coast and spent a few d days in the Whitsunday’s enjoying the lo location.

The youth crew set personal goals at tthe start of the trip and they reassess tthem about half way through the trip, to ssee how they are going with them and if tthey need to set new or more goals.

Ariel said one of his biggest fears was sswimming off the side of the ship when h he couldn’t see the shore; he has now c conquered that fear and set new goals to a achieve in the future.

Towards the end of the trip the youth c crew have a ‘command day’, which is a c culmination of the they work they have d done in the previous days sailing. It is

when, in i a 24-h 24 h i d the h youth h crew have h 24-hour period total command of the ship, of course they are watched over by the Navy crew but on a whole they are “it”.

They hav have 22 tasks to complete in that 24 hours varying from making a hammock from rope that is stro strong enough to hold the entire 24 youth crew to cooking a three-course meal for the coo cook (and he has to like it!).

T They have from 1300 hours to 1200 ho hours to arrive at a set destination, send a beach assault team ashore in a rowboat w who then raise the Australian flag and sing th the national anthem so it can be heard ba back on the ship. This was accomplished by them taking UHF radios with them, sm smart thinking. There were many other task tasks which were all fun, nothing too serious but yyou had to work as a team to complete them.

The day Ariel’s crew faced ‘command day’ the weat weather was very challenging, the wind had picked up and they were sailing faster and had a lot more swell th than they had experienced previously. All but one task was achieved during their ‘command day’.

The highlights o of this trip for Ariel was seeing what the crew had achieved and how everyone had developed and got along together togeth and worked together. Another was the endless amount of great food available to you; “it was amazing, cooked breakfasts and lunches with six different choices, so much food amazing.”

“It was a pretty amazing experience, best ten days of my life. You have to sleep when you can and are flat out most of the time, it’s hard work but rewarding, not that hard but busy and tiring.” Said an enthusiastic Ariel.

Once they reached Mackay the Young Endeavour took a group of disadvantaged kids and adults from Mackay for a half-day sail then they camped off an island for their last night.

Ariels final comments on the trip were “I’d recommend it to everyone. You’ll love it.”

Only one cricket match played Never too old to enjoy............ tennis Coffeys won the toss and sent Berridale into bat on a very cold and soggy Berridale ground. Coffeys opening bowlers worked hard in the trying conditions.

Chris “stawberry” Allen (1-24) had good pace and movement with the strong breeze behind him.

Unfortunately the Coffeys catching behind the wicket was a little untidy but totally understandable considering the cold weather.

Matt Moxon (2-24) bowled into the wind and was also a little unlucky.

The first wicket fell on 34 with Hayes (10) falling to Allen.

A O’Keefe (44) joined Hearn (103) at the crease putting on 96 for the second wicket. Introna (2-44) got a double breakthrough picking up O’Keefe and Simon Freebody in the one over. With a long Berridale tail, Hearn picked up the scoring rate and rode his luck to bring up the first hundred of the yearThe Berridale innings was over shortly after Hearns dismissal - J Johnson the chief destroyer of the Berridale tail with (3-24) Alex Bruce the last man standing with 9 not out.

Berridale all out for 189.

The Coffeys innings started after yet another brief snow shower.

M Moxon (87) and S Smith (26) laid the platform for the Coffeys chase against some quality bowling led by O’Keefe (0-17) who was near unplayable at times, putting on 71 before Smith fell to a good catch from Daniel Roberson off the bowling of Bruce (1-16).

The pressure started to build on the Coffeys young batsman as Allen fell to Freebody (1-39) but Moxon and Devereaux (53) calmy went about chasing the imposing Berridale total with a mix of defence and aggression.

A couple of misssed chances in the field from Berridale let the pressure off. Moxon finally fell to Hearn (1-55) with a great catch on the boundary from Jack Parkyn.

Devereux and J Johnson (9*) passed the Berridale score with three overs remaining.

Coffeys 4 for 191.

A & C FUN DAY

SATURDAY 23RD OCTOBER 2010 ADAMINABY RACECOURSE FULL PROGRAM OF FUN HORSE AND NON-HORSE EVENTS

• QUALITY HORSE AUCTION • GENERAL AUCTION • CAR BOOT SALE • FULL BAR & BBQ ALL DAY DETAILS AT www.coomarodeo.org.au

All funds raised will go towards the improvement of the Campdraft Facilities at the Adaminaby Racecourse and the construction of a Permanent Equestrian Arena in Cooma.

Myrtle Boate has been playing tennis since she was about six years old, she started by picking up a racquet and just hitting a ball.

Now a spritely 92 years old Myrtle ‘only’ plays twice a week.

Over the years she has represented the Monaro/south coast in the ‘A’ Grade division and participated at White City for Country Week for 45 years from 1954-1999.

Myrtle said by playing tennis it helps keep the arthritis and rheumatism away! Tennis is a great social game and a wonderful form of exercise, no matter what your age. You meet nice people and I’ve played for a lifetime.

Myrtle last played masters in Canberra in 2003 but has now finished playing competitive tennis, it’s now just a social game for me, she said. I’m a fair bit slower getting around the court now, the mind says go and the feet say no.

Myrtle has also competed in golf, bowls and cricket but none compared to her love of tennis. Always a mad keen tennis player Myrtle doesn’t intend to give up the game as long as she can still get around.

She even still has a few wins on the court, but like everything else her serves and returns are not as good as they used to be. She doesn’t have the power to hit the ball like she used to but it’s still a lot of fun and she gets a lot of enjoyment from her twice weekly games of tennis.

I didn’t outplay everyone but I have just about outstayed everyone.

Myrtle Boate on the court.

Basketball approaches semi finals time The ‘B’ women, junior girls and junior boys basketball teams will contest their last games this week before the semi finals.

‘B’ women A very closely contested grade with wins of less than six points for most games. Rebels and Blueberries play this week with the winner likely to claim first place and a place in the major grand final; their previous game was a draw.

Diamonds and hopefuls play another important game with a place in the major semi final up for grabs, the loser will meet Diehards in the minor semi.

Junior girls After a slow start this grade has developed into an even contest. Slamdunks has a narrow lead over Misfits, Speedies and Chooky Chicks. All the teams are capable of making it to the major grand finals but need all of their players to be committed on the day.

Girder Fork rally in town

Ross with mum Kelly Pratt from Victoria enjoying the side car.

The annual Girder Fork Rally was a great success for Cooma Alpine Tourers Motorcycle Club, despite the weather, over the weekend.

On Friday afternoon a small group of riders were prepared to do a two hour ride in the rain. However, on discussion they called it off with a comment of “Tomorrow we will ride, rain, hail or shine”. Kathy Manthey, President of the club, said.

On Saturday morning 35 riders from all over NSW and Melbourne braved the conditions.

The organisers sent marshalls out to investigate the route that had been planned. After a short delay the decision was made to move the morning tea stop from Middlingbank to Berridale and shorten the ride by eliminating the Rocky Plains and Jindabyne leg and heading straight to Dalgety for lunch.

Riders set off and arrived in Berridale - cold but very happy. They had seen lots of snow on Slacks Creek Road and Middlingbank Road,

and many had stopped and taken photographs. One pillion, Di Smith, was so excited when she arrived in Dalgety and she told Kathy she had taken “Lots of photos of bikes in the snow; her husband in the snow; their bike in the snow and lots of snow shots”.

Other riders were equally excited as some had never seen snow before.

Saturday night the Presentation Dinner was held in the Coombah Lounge of Cooma Ex-Services Club and a very enjoyable evening was had by all. Kathleen Toovey had downloaded her photographs of the day and riders took the opportunity to re-live the day and tell lots of stories.

Sunday morning most of the riders again braved the conditions for a ride to Countegany and back to Numeralla Hall where they had a nice warm cuppa and morning tea by an open fire. Kathy described it as “A very pleasant way to finish off the rally.”

Athletics season begins anew Cooma kicked off its 30th season last Thursday with a bumper crop of new athletes and many of the seasoned athletes made this one of our best starts this century.

The influx in younger age groups is fantastic. Also a hardy welcome back to our returning athletes, this season it should be a “Bobby Dazzler” with a good percentage of new comers and all you returnees; we will make 2010-11 one to remember.

We have refigured the all circular track so there will be no confusion where the finishing line is, as last year we had two finishing lines (one for both the straight track and then 15m away the other for the circular track) and the poor old timekeeper had nightmares.

Had they made you run further than you were required to or did they cut the race shorter than it ought to have been. So, now everyone finishes at the judges stand no matter which race you are in.

Highlights of the night.

With the introduction of the 300m this season as a regular event for the Grasshopper brigade (U/6 to U/8’s), we hade some excellent results.

U/6 Girls Maggie Johnson (1m39.29s) and Clair Thornton (1m 41.06s) setting a good standard for the Girls in their first attempt over this distance.

While in the Boys, Jacob Southern (1m49.22s) and David Shorten (1m49.41s) had a great tussle in their run.

U/7 Girls Lucy Thornton (1m21.73s), Brock Freeburn (1m35.55s) and Jesse Lunt (1m36.32s) managed to stay ahead of the pack in their first up attempt.

U/7 Boys Two of the U/7 Boys, Lachlan McGufficke and Ryan Harmer cleared out of the rest of the field in their endeavour to reach the finishing post first.

Lachlan setting the Record at (1m15.44s) to out pace Ryan (1m17.73s) in the straight. These boys should have some exciting races over this distance as the season progresses.

U/8’s Hugo Steiner set a fiery pace in the 50m clocking 8.56 sec; while Taylah Maurier 9.16 sec was within ½ a second of the U/8 Girls Record for the 50m.

U/9’s In the 100m there were two close heats; heat 1 saw three girls within 3m of each other crossing the line, Chelsea Lunt clocking 19.10 sec with Laura Hobbs (19.34s) one of the new girls this season, nipping at her heals only 1.25m behind her.

Then Brenna Clayton (19.61s) in 3rd place 1.75m back. In heat 2 the closeness of this race rivalled heat 1 with two girls just over a metre apart. Bronte Hely 19.18 sec outlasted Anna Connolly 19.50 sec in a tight affair.

U/9 Boys Kayne Johnson-Smith was first to meet the Judges in both the 100m (18.72s) and again in the 400m with a 1m 47.47 sec. Zach McCauley (19.06s) not far behind Kayne in the 100m and then came James McGufficke (19.68s) and Hamish Bottom (19.71s).

U/10’s Jessica Povey dominated the track events with excellent performances in the 100m with 16.34 sec and 1m 36.07 sec in the 400m.

Gabrielle Steiner picked up from where she left off from last season in the discus with a 10.92m throw.

Keegan Cardwell posted three impressive times in the track events on the night, with a 15.34 sec in the 100m, the 400m was equally impressive clocking 1m23.65 sec and finally a great first up run over the 1500m in 6m36.91 sec.

Remy Oldrey is another U/10 athlete to look out for this season, his 100m time shows he has some spring in his legs when he clocked 15.69 sec and a 1m30.13 sec for the 400m.

Kurt Wassink (16.68m) had a battle royal with

Jesse Ingram (15.59m) at the discus with just over a metre between them. There should be some close contests in the discus events this season with most of the boys throwing over 10m on the night.

U/11’s When the Athletes reach the U/11 age group they are introduced to some new events, including Javelin (400 gms) and Triple Jump. It takes some time to master these events fully; the Triple Jumps have the concept of a “Hop” then a “Step” and finally a “Jump” into the sand pit. Some children are able to click on to it quickly while others take some time. In the U/11 on their first night all of them were able to record a legal Jump. The outstanding jumper was Zach Ingram who was just a 1 ½m off the record with a leap of 7.31m. “Fantastic”.

The other event was the javelin, here each athlete must be able to throw a Javelin over arm (above the shoulder) with a bent elbow and able to have the tips of the Javelin strike the ground first on landing.

It’s harder for most girls to do this as they usually don’t throw things! I was very pleased to see young Nikki Harmer improve on every throw throughout the competition and finally recorded a throw of 8.79m.

In the boys event Aaron Pottage and Zach Ingram using different styles were able to master the action and each throw over 13m, with Aaron using the standing action, heaving 14.11m and Zach using normal Javelin style of running approach before delivery which boost the speed of the Javelin on release, Zach managed 13.55m toss. Bas de Ruijter also managed to heave of the Javelin over 10m with 10.53m.

U/12’s This is our second largest group, where the girls outnumber the boys 2:1 ratio.

Jazmin Fely is running hot at the moment with the fastest time of all the girls on the night over 100m and 400m. Jazmin clocked 16.28 sec for 100m and topped off the track with 1m29.25 over the 400m. Jazmin was also very impressive at the Triple Jump recording a leap of 6.65m Ellie Bowe, Javana D’Amico plus Zali Steiner were also impressive over the 100m with Ellie Clocking 17.14 sec and less than 12 cms away Javana 17.16 sec was breathing down her neck.

Zali was in another heat and broke through the 18-second barrier, recording 17.90 sec.

Imogen Payne (5.80m), Zali Steiner (5.84m) and Elizabeth Fletcher (5.30m) the only other girls to master the Triple Jump.

Boys Another battle loomed on the track between Jordan Louis and Tyler McParland in the 100m, with Jordan clocking 16.35s and Tyler 16.66s. Jordan set the pace in 400m (1m22.65s) and 1500m (7m23.87s) The Triple was a close encounter between three of the boys Jordan Louis (6.80m), Tyler McParland (6.66m) and Nick Wassink (6.40m).

U/14 Daniel Pevere heaved the Shot 7.70m.

Vets Ingrid Pottage a 50+ Veteran is running at our meets this season and we hope she will encourage some of our “X Little A’ers” who are parents now, to join her on the track. The more the merrier. Ingrid’s best event on the night was the shot put where she heaved the 3kg Shot 7.70m.

The Country Rugby League Far South Coast U/18 Academy has launched its campaign for the 2010–2011 season.

Once again a strong contingent of players made their way to the Pambula Beach Sporting Complex to trial for a position in the Academy squad on September 29, 2010.

This year was a little different to other years with Kim Williams from the Melbourne Storm bringing a squad of SG Ball Academy players to the coast for a combined trial.

The trial was very successful for both playing groups and the quality was of a very high standard.

A big thank you to all players who made themselves available for the trial and their parents for making the trip to Pambula for the Andrew Jones game.

The Country Rugby League coaching staff and selectors had their work cut out to select this season’s squad was chosen and will be monitored squad due to the high standard of play during the trial and throughout the program and into next season.

The two Cooma Stallions players who will be the quality of players who had made themselves available representing their local Group 16 clubs in the CRL U/18 for selection.

It was very difficult to select the right balance for the Academy Program for the 2010–2011 season are Andrew Academy squad, as there are so many quality young Jones and Bryan Cronan. Andrew said “It will be a good players in the South East Group 16 area. A high quality experience and it means I get to go to Fiji next year.”
