Flood review supports Snowy Hydro NSW Minister for Primary Industries, Katrina Hodgkinson, has announced the release of the report into the late-2010 flooding in the upper-Murrumbidgee catchment. Ms Hodgkinson said there was some concern that the flooding along the Tumut and Murrumbidgee Rivers might have been exacerbated by releases from Burrinjuck and Blowering Dams, and the Snowy Scheme. “One of the first Ministerial tasks I undertook was to initiate a review of the October and December 2010 flooding events, and in particular, investigate how the operations of State Water and Snowy Hydro may have either exacerbated or mitigated the floods.” “The community needs to know if these organisations complied with their licence conditions and water management regulations in the water releases from Blowering and Burrinjuck dams prior to and during the floods.” The review was conducted by the NSW Office of Water’s Legal Branch. The ‘Review of Water Management during the 2010 flood events in the Tumut and Murrumbidgee River’ report describes the catchment and weather conditions, the operational requirements for the storages and the operational decisions that were made.

exceeded forecasts; the subsequent inflows into Blowering and Burrinjuck dams were the highest on record for that month • The operations of Snowy Hydro Limited and State Water were consistent with the conditions of their respective operating licences • Both agencies managed releases from their respective storages in anticipation of inflows from forecast rain events and their actions did provide some river height and flooding mitigation • Arrangements to obtain inflow data from gauging stations in the ACT were not adequate and one important gauging station downstream of Burrinjuck dam had been destroyed by a landslide • Snowy Hydro Limited has a right to specify Blowering Dam airspace for electricity generation purposes (but not for flood mitigation); in December 2010, Snowy Hydro had specified 50,000 megalitres of air space for electricity generation • The statement in the Tumut Local Flood Plan that “190,000 megalitres is available for flood storage to reduce flooding in downstream areas” is incorrect. While at one time that was the volume of airspace nominated by Snowy Hydro, the airspace volume for electricity generation purposes is variable and there is no requirement to maintain 190,000 megalitres in the dam. Ms Hodgkinson said the report confirms The review has made a number of there are competing multiple-use objectives conclusions. In particular: in dam operations involving maximising • The rainfall during December 2010 water supply, generating electricity,

for multiple purposes,” Ms Hodgkinson said. Snowy Hydro comment Snowy Hydro has welcomed the release the report. David Harrris, Snowy Hydro Executive Officer for Water said, “Snowy Hydro knows that some in the community along the Tumut River were particularly concerned about the flooding that occurred in late 2010. In light of these local concerns the Minister rightly commissioned a thorough review of the management of the Murrumbidgee and Tumut Rivers, the Burrinjuck and Blowering Dams and the Snowy Scheme during this period.” Mr Harris also said, “I am very pleased, but not at all surprised, that the Report has found that Snowy Hydro did not exacerbate flooding down the Tumut River, in fact that Snowy Hydro’s actions mitigated Tumut River flooding and we complied with the constraints imposed on us by the Snowy Water Licence. The facts are the facts - we gave these facts to the Government and to the public and really there could have been no other conclusion”. Mr Harris concluded by saying “We trust that this thorough review, released by the Minister, will now satisfy the local community and broader stakeholders. We will keep the community informed of our operations and Licence obligations and we will continue to work closely with stakeholders and the community to improve understanding about the operations of the Snowy Scheme.”

“Whether inland dams should or should not play an increased role in flood mitigation is an important question, but it cannot be answered on the basis of a single event; it needs to be the subject of ongoing appraisal,” Ms Hodgkinson said. “However, by detailing the water management rules on the Murrumbidgee and Tumut Rivers and how they are applied, this report informs the community of the checks and balances that The report is available on the NSW Office guide how these watercourses of Water website at www.water.nsw.gov.au are, and need to be, managed

optimising downstream river health and providing flood mitigation. “The Murrumbidgee River Water Sharing Plan creates clear and transparent agreed rules for management of the river and it is important that the water managers continue to operate within this framework.” Even so, the review has identified several areas which are being progressed: • Liaison with ACTEW (responsible for electricity and water in the ACT) to ensure that State Water has continual access to accurate and timely data about Burrinjuck dam inflows to inform water management actions • Proposed amendments to the Snowy Water Licence to enable better management of water releases from the Snowy Scheme following severe droughts. Public submissions on the proposal are currently being considered. • Review State Water’s Blowering and Burrinjuck dam water inflow and outflow notification systems to ensure there is a clear and effective procedure for informing relevant agencies, affected landholders and the broader community when required.

Denise McKenzie retires from teaching after 45 years compared to when she first entered the field as a new recruit. Since then, Mrs McKenzie has worked with every Principal who has ever held the post at Monaro, first as a student and then as a teacher, a career she has thoroughly enjoyed. But now Mrs McKenzie is looking forward to enjoying more leisurely days and being able to spend more time with her craft activities and the garden as well as her voluntary interests and basically plans to just enjoy being at home. There is the possibility of some travelling though when Mr McKenzie, who is currently still teaching at Monaro High School, retires in the not too distant future but for the moment, the McKenzie’s will be staying in Cooma. There was a “Celebration of Teaching and Education” dinner last Wednesday at the Alpine Hotel.

Lisa Ashurst After 45 years in teaching, Denise McKenzie is winding down her career and looking forward to being able to enjoy life at a more leisurely pace from now on.

Currently on long service leave pending retirement, Mrs McKenzie will be ending her long association with Monaro High School in 2011.

Mrs McKenzie began her teaching career in 1966 with a shared appointment, operating between Queanbeyan High School and Captain’s Flat Central School before moving on to Monaro High School a year later where she remained for 44 years. A long-time local resident, Mrs McKenzie attended school at Brigidine Convent in Cooma, followed by Monaro High School where she completed her education, so she was on familiar ground when she began teaching at the School some years later, where she would become Head Teacher of the Home Economics faculty. During this time, Mrs McKenzie and her husband, Jock, also a teacher at Monaro High School, raised their four children, balancing work with family and home. In her 45 years as a teacher, Mrs McKenzie has seen many changes on both a social and educational level as socioeconomic change inevitably exerted its influence on student numbers in the school, changes around the local community and also within the family fabric itself and the teaching experience is very different now

Nimmitabel town water solution still in the pipeline

President of the Nimmitabel Advancement Group, Mr David Wicks, has advised in a recent update that the Group are still working their way through the various processes involved in turning Lake Wallace into a reality.

Mr Wicks is very keen to see the project up and running, as are the residents of Nimmitabel, who have had to live with water issues for a very long time due to the inadequacies of We cater for Mens, Ladies and the current system. “Water has been a big problem here in Nimmitabel for too Childrens footwear for every many years” Mr Wicks said “so we are occasion. very keen to get this project up and running in order to ensure long term Dress, leisure, casuals, slippers, water security for the town as soon as joggers, school shoes... possible.” We carry a beautiful range of There are many processes to work through that require a lot of detail and Handbags and Accessories.

original development application, including a plan of the dam as well as the results of the survey, which was highly detailed. The application also required an environmental report outlining the amount of land needed for the project, which resulted in issues being raised including some regarding a small number of threatened species of flora and fauna in the immediate area. These however can, and would, be managed. The issues though have increased the timelines on the project, which will inevitably lead to an increase in costs down the line. Other issues include looking into how the water is to be delivered downstream and the effect it may have on the river in the process. Due to the nature of the terrain the water can be of a different colour plus there is a difference of a few degrees in the water’s temperature and any impact these issues may have on the river’s ecosystem need to be considered to ensure they are not going to cause any serious concerns. The Department of Environment Climate Change and Water (DECCW) want to be kept informed on a number of items that surfaced in the report. Further issues arising from the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage study may also need to be addressed and managed and the Group is waiting to receive any further information generating from that report. One of the biggest concerns though is the amount of good rain the district has had over the last few months which could have been caught and stored had the dam been in place and the Group is understandably worried that further delays could cause them to miss more good rainfalls in the future. “We really need to keep this project going” Mr Wicks added “and we don’t want to see the costs escalating, but this is what will happen if the continual delays with this project aren’t resolved.” Hopefully the project will get the green light soon and the work can begin. The members of the Nimmitabel Advancement Group, along with the rest of the township, are crossing their fingers crossed anyway.

The Yamaga diaries

Creating theNews Snowy5 Mountains look By Sally Ann Cottle Living in the mountains is all about creating a haven from the cold. It’s about being warm inside while you watch the wild mountain weather come and go. The Snowy Mountains also encompasses a sense of country living so it’s combining the traditional mountain style with elements that reflect our region. The end result is a unique, relaxed style drawing heavily on texture – original stonewalls and fireplaces and rustic timber features combined with natural rugs, and soft throw rugs.

Our style tips to create your Snowy Mountains style: • There is nothing nicer that a big roaring fire with a good stack of firewood Mayor of Kumamoto Prefecture who lives in Yamaga City and is a Lions Club member, and Mayor Dean Lynch. They are in a Lions Club stall which raises money for the return visit by Yamaga students in 2012.

The men in ancient costumes will line up in the street with pine torches, like the ancient folk, welcoming the emperor.

fabrics – they often distract from the stunning views. • Sofas should be deep, long, comfortable and lovely soft fabrics. Don't forget to add cushions and throw rugs to ensure your night on the sofa is a snug one. • Lighting should be kept soft - I always recommend table lamps to create soft pools of light and instant atmosphere. • Beds should be layered with natural fabrics. Wool underlays, cotton or linen sheets, down filled doonas and a lovely fur, wool or angora throw on the end for added effect and extra warmth. • It's good to add a few local touches to complete the look. Black and white photographs of local scenery will work well in most interiors. • Make sure everyone feels at home and don't make things too formal…. leave the minimalist interiors behind and enjoy the tree change.

Introducing Tasco and Bombala’s new future Tasco is a privately owned, medium-sized timber manufacturer that was created in 1966 from the need to produce high quality product from smaller type radiata pine logs. These products are now supplied to both the domestic and export markets successfully through Tasco’s sawmilling and remanufacturing divisions. Tasco is a vibrant company that prides itself on its ability to produce high quality appearance grade timber products from a resource that was once considered more suitable for woodchip than quality timber products. Through education, research and developing new applications for timber products, Tasco’s ambition is to help create a cleaner, healthier and safer environment for the generations to come. With Australian Radiata Pine becoming a viable replacement for native forest timbers both here, in Australian and around the world due to its large variety of uses, Tasco is dedicated to a 100 percent renewable resource for the production of timber. Project Namu – at a glance Project Namu: Korean for tree Investment value of $69 million Construction of the new green mill, planer and timber treatment plant and associated infrastructure (boilers, kilns, wastewater management system, Members of the Tasco and Dongwha Holdiongs ‘family’ at the mill launch on August 13. new office and car park) Expansion will incease: Softwood log input from 106,000 to 300,000 tonnes per year Log intake volume production estimate (per financial year) Treated timber from 31,300 cubic metres to 150,000 cubic metres per year 2013 – 190,000 tonnes Employment 2014 – 250,000 tonnes Will remain at around 87 employess 2015 – 300,000 tonnes 60 direct construction jobs will be created Inclusive of 30,000 tonnes for pole/post production.

Project Namu is the name that has been given to the expansion of the existing Sandy Lane mill. Namu is the Korean word for ‘tree’ which closely ties to Tasco’s mother company, an established Korean wood based company named Donghwa International. The $69 million investment will include the construction of a new green mill, planer and timber treatment plant as well as the associated infrastructure such as boilers, kilns and new site access and offices. Construction is due to commence in August 2011 during which more than 60 direct construction jobs will be created, adding to the current 87 local employees. Project Namu is estimated to be completed by December 2012 and increase softwood log input from 106,000 to 300,000 tonnes per year and treated timber output from 31,300 cubic mteres to 150,000 cubic metres per year. Benefits to the Bombala Community Provides long-term sustainable employment in Bombala in both the mill operations and related services; Represents capital investment in the Monaro region; Attracts further investment in timber processing and related industries; Compliments Tasco’s existing support of the Bombala community, including sponsorship of the Bombala Cup and local social and sporting clubs.

What a sad day for journalism last Thursday, when three of the ABC’s best died in a helicopter crash. Locals are familiar with the work Paul Lockyer has done in recent years – he visited the Monaro on a number of occasions to cover such things as wild dog predation, the drought, bushfires, etc. At least it can be said these professionals died doing something they obviously enjoyed and excelled at. Paul’s pieces on Lake Eyre and the Grantham floods will be his epithet. Cooma-Monaro Council’s community meetings last week seemed to have produced some interesting ideas for the next 10 years. Many of these may have been rehashed, but it’s great to see people getting their heads around what we want our place to look like and provide. The Postman suggests we look at our streetscape. In winter Sharp Street can look depressingly dull and uninteresting. Some of our shopfronts are also pretty uninspiring. It’s sad that the ‘modernisation’ of Cooma back in the 1960s saw our verandahs and awnings removed and replaced with flat-fronted edifices. Luckily the former Taffas building, the former State Bank and The Lott foodstore are doing their bit to lift the street. But couldn’t we find some grant funding from somewhere to create a theme for our town to work with? And remember that beautiful old tree that used to enliven Vale Street? It’s that sort of appearance and ‘feel’ which makes people feel like stopping and smelling the flowers (and spending in our shops.)

Climate change Editor, In my opinion climate change has been on Monaro all my life. We have four seasons and I can never remember two the same in following years. The experts say we are warming. We are having the best snowfalls in 20 years and the coldest winter. How do we know the scientists are telling the truth? Our Prime Minister betrayed her leader and has not been truthful on carbon tax. The scientists at CSIRO are public servants and most probably guided by what the government wanted them to say like the investment advisers on climate change who said our dams would never be full again. The recent pamphlet put out by the government tells us nothing on climate

change, only trying to buy us off with dollars. I note the government recognises that business MAY pass SOME of their costs on to consumers. I did expect some proof on climate change. The only figure I have seen is in my electricity account where I created 2.1 tonnes of carbon. How do they measure? Some comes from coal – hydro- wind farms and perhaps solar? I note the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, now says the Liberals will lose too much revenue if they cancel the carbon tax. I am now certain it is a tax and not the environment that is important.

Needs expertise Editor, Up came lots and lots of good ideas that could help grow Cooma and the shire and the region at the Shire organised “What is your vision for Cooma” workshops last week in Cooma. Most of these ideas have been around for a while, and there is nothing wrong with that. Over the 15 odd years of its existence Cooma Unlimited has promoted many of them, and what has happened nothing! So there must be overwhelming reason or reasons why not one of them has got up, and as to what we, as a large community, should be doing to get at least one of them up. So lets be what some people would regard as “negative” about the reasons why:

has been formed, but I have not seen any reporting of its progress to the community. There are many people within the local and regional community with expertise who could help but they are not, it seems, being sought after. The community needs to be involved and used. • It is a good rule to say “If it is not written down, it is not real.” These days with the need to go to Government for grants and the various departments, it is essential to get Government support by writing a document in the special detailed way required. I have not seen such a document for the proposed university campus. Why should such a document be secret – if it is the best way to get Government on side, surely it is the best way to get the local community active.

• Some residents believe that Cooma’s size is about right. It’s the right sized town, and it should stay that way. The problem with this is that only an increase in population small as it can be each year creates a market for real estate, and the interest of those small businesses in shops and services to set up or to remain in Cooma. Shops and services disappear if the population is not growing. (Shops are currenting closing in Cooma) • The community remains divided as to what we should support to grow the town and Shire. The widespread support for a university campus is the first time that the community seems to be unified in supporting a major development idea in the last 10 or 15 years. A shire committee

Tuesday produced a heap of good ideas, so what is the next step? Well, I think that the community must agree on a major development idea, and then the best expertise must be used to development that idea into a detailed written plan. This could be done within the Shire structure, or outside of it, or through a committee of the best expertise within the region. And it would seem to me that a committee of the best expertise within the region is the best option. Yours etc, Dugald Mitchell OAM Chairman of Cooma Unlimited.

The Cooma Country and Bowling Club has recently welcomed Roy’s Chinese as their new restaurant caterers. Head-chef and owner, Roy, has over 25 years of experience in Chinese cuisine. He started his cooking career on his second day in Australia, working in his father’s restaurant back in 1986. Due to his lack of ability to speak English, he was able to hone his skills in the kitchen. Roy’s family has a history in Chinese restaurants with his father, sister and brother all being involved in the food industry. Roy previously ran clubs at Culburra Beach and Callala Beach on the South Coast near Nowra and felt it was time for a change so began looking for another club. When he came across Cooma Bowling Club, he felt it was a good option and a restaurant such as his would help revitalise the club and attract other nonmembers to the restaurant. Above: The new caterers at Cooma Country and Bowling Club, Yuki, May, Along with his partner, May; his son, Jay and May’s Roy and Jay. daughter, Yuki, Roy’s Chinese promises to provide you with quality, good value food.

Residents rally to save 118 year-old bridge Bombala residents are continuing to fight the RTA plans to demolish the 1890 Coolumbooka Bridge. A meeting last Monday attracted 23 people, including the Member for Monaro, John Barilaro. Meeting organiser, Meryl Lock, said she is circulating a letter of protest to local businesses to sign to forward to the RTA. Bombala Council is also preparing a submission. Mrs Lock said submission close on August 31 and encourages all local residents to particpate. She said the bridge has significant heritage value, as it provided the first link to the coast from Bombala, allowing, for example, wool to be taken to Merimbula and Tathra wharves for transport to Sydney, a trip which had previously

SUPER SPECIAL

taken about three weeks. Supplies from Sydney were also offloaded at the wharves and returned to Bombala via that road link. Mrs Lock said the region had originally had four of the McDonald span bridges, but the Bombala, Bibbenluke and Cunningham Point bridges had all been removed, leaving the Coolumbooka Bridge the ony example of that type of construction in the district. She said the group wants to have the bridge retained and another concrete structure built to accommodate B-doubles. She said a bridge built to the east of Coolumbooka would protect the old bridge from floods while providing access for heavier vehicles. For more information on the protest movement, or to access a letter of protest, Mrs Lock said people should contact Steve Ricketts at Foodworks in Bombala.

Children take charge of their bit of creek Cooma Public School has recently received a grant of $1500 from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) to perform studies on the water quality and insect life in Cooma Creek. The studies are undertaken in conjunction with Cooma Water Watch. With the money, Cooma Public bought sampling equipment and a fish tank for the school where they have samples of the insects so the students can recognise the various species when taking samples down at the creek. Once a fortnight, students from years 3-6 at Cooma Public go down to the Cooma Creek (near the skate park) and take samples of insects

and the water to test its health and quality. The students will rotate each fortnight with a few staying on each week so as there are some who are familiar with the process. Co-ordinator of the creek study program, John Chapman said, “The aim is to make the children aware of what makes a healthy creek and what they can do to improve or maintain water quality”. As of the most recent sampling/ water quality check, Cooma Creek is very high in nutrients and is in excellent condition. John Chapman, on behalf of Cooma Public School, would like to thank CSIRO for their generous donation and helping them participate in such a program.

Applicant’s Name Application Number

5726 Monaro Highway Nimmitabel Lot 197 DP 756849 previously known as Portion 179 Schmidt Quarries being GC Schmidt (ACT) Pty Ltd 21/11/M

An application to modify the original Development Consent conditions relating to Development Application No 17/94 approved on 8 July 1994 and subsequently modified has been received which amends a previously defined designated development. The proposal would also be an integrated development. The requested modifications are to: 1. Modify Condition No 1(b)(i) to add to that condition “a council representative” as persons being able to complete the assessment required under that condition. 2. Condition No 3 be amended to require every 5 years the submission of a report on the rehabilitation program as opposed to every year. 3. Amend Condition 12 to reflect the correct figure in respect of the bond held by Council namely $50,000 in relation to any matter not completed by the applicant. 4. Condition 36(4) be removed which required the construction of a culvert adjacent to the vehicular entrance to the site. 5. Condition 36(8) be deleted which previously required bitumen sealing of the vehicular entrance roadway from the vehicular entrance to the quarry site. The full application and accompanying documents may be inspected at Council’s Environmental Services Division at 81 Commissioner Street Cooma during normal business hours, or at the Department of Planning’s Regional Offices at Wollongong (Level 2 – 84 Crown Street Wollongong) or Queanbeyan (Level 1 – 11 Farrer Place Queanbeyan NSW). The original development approval related to a Hard Rock Quarry and associated Crushing and Screening Plant. That approval as amended contained 39 Conditions of Consent and was granted for 25 years (from the date of the original approval). A maximum annual limit rate of 100,000 cubic metres applied with the operator being required to confirm with the details specified in the Environmental Impact Statement as amended by the conditions of consent. Any person may make a written submission regarding the application.

Initially, Deb, along with 1000 other people, was nominated for a Country Rugby League volunteer award. She was then selected to be in the top twenty where she attended a gala dinner in Sydney last Saturday evening. It was here that Deb was informed that she was now selected as one of five finalists to attend the national presentation dinner on September 26. When she thought it couldn’t get any better, Deb received a phone call on Monday morning from a representative from the National Rugby League (NRL) informing her that she has been nominated for a volunteer’s award. She replied that she was already aware of this nomination, only to find that it was a completely different award – the

Women in League Achievement Award! “It’s nice to be nominated in two categories but a bit of a shock!” commented Deb. This is Deb’s 10th year as secretary of the junior rugby league and fifth year as secretary for the seniors. Over this time she has acted as canteen manager, a contact person for schools and has performed countless other volunteer tasks over the years. “It’s just what you do in a small club,” Deb said. “You just enjoy what you’re doing because your kids are here.” “The junior league committee has been a really great group to be a part of. They’re hardworking and really committed!” Deb will attend Sydney Town Hall on Monday September 26 for the final gala dinner for both awards. Congratulations Deb – you’ve done us and yourself proud!

Pictured is musicians Glenyss Allen, Emma Armstrong and David Pereira after their performance last Sunday. Last Sunday August 21 Snowy Monaro Arts Council officially ‘welcomed’ the arrival of their new grand piano, with a fine recital attracting more than 150 people. The afternoon featured cello, flute and piano, showcasing the talents of David Pereira, Emma Armstrong and Glenyss Allen who performed music by Schumann, Mozart, Weber, Villa Lobos and Elgar. Emma Armstrong, who hails from Orange and is now a Canberra resident, is in her final year of a Bachelor of Music majoring in Performance at ANU School of Music. She seeks to pursue her Honours year in 2012. Glenyss Allen has studied in Australia and overseas, and has taught as a Music Specialist in NSW State secondary schools. Glenyss now lives in Cooma where she fosters the musical gifts of many young people in the community and is a busy accompanist in Sydney, Canberra and across Monaro.

David Pereira last year received the CityNews Artist of the Year Award, having been selected by The Canberra Critics’ Circle “for making his mark on music in Canberra and the immediate region… and for his encouragement of young associate artists…” David is a published author, an international performer and an experienced recording artist. Forthcoming CD releases include the piano and cello works of Rubinstein, Australian cello and piano works, and various works for cello and harp. Sunday’s performance definitely provided the new piano with a whirl of a christening. There are a number of other events planned for the end of the year, so stay tuned. On September 11 from 2pm - 5pm, members of the community are invited to visit St Paul’s Church Hall to have a play of the new grand piano.There will be no bookings, just a casual tinkle of the ivories for the pianists out there or those who would like to come along and listen.

Land Slide Signals Further Home Building Weakness Ahead Residential land sales fell for a sixth consecutive quarter in March 2011, signaling the prospect of weakening levels of residential construction through to at least the December quarter this year. The HIA-RP Data Residential Land Report provided by the Housing Industry Association, the voice of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residential building industry, and RP Data, Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading property information and analytics provider, found the volume of land sales fell to a record low in early 2011. Sales were down by 6 per cent over the March 2011 quarter and were 43 per cent lower when compared to the March 2010 quarter. Meanwhile, the weighted median land value in Australia increased by 0.8 per cent in the March 2011 quarter to $193,980, driven by growth of 2.7 per cent in the median value for Regional Australia (to $159,611). Over the year to March 2011, the

median land value was up by 4.4 per cent for capital cities and by 3.8 per cent for Regional Australia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The continuous and substantial decline in land sales volumes since late 2009 is a further indication that new home starts could reach one of their lowest levels seen since the mid 1990â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s,â&#x20AC;? said HIA Chief Economist, Harley Dale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Softer demand is part of the story and the dizzy heights sometimes reached in speculation regarding a fictitious housing bubble in Australia certainly doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything for home building confidence,â&#x20AC;? Harley Dale said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nevertheless, the cost of serviceable land is the big barrier. Clearly this cost is excessive in a great number of areas around Australia. Governments need to address this substantial constraint on residential building which is generated by costs they impose,â&#x20AC;? said Harley Dale.

Leading Australian online real estate agent, www.forsaleforlease.com.au, is urging all potential vendors to shake off the winter blues and follow some easy strategies to get their properties ready for the Spring-selling onslaught. According to Michael Atwell, founder of ForSaleForLease.com.au, Spring is usually the most optimum time to sell a home as the largest numbers of buyers are actively searching for a new home between September and November. Vendors come out in full force in the Spring season, eager to tempt enthusiastic buyers, who have held back during the colder months. With the lack lustre winter real estate season nearly over, sellers may easily improve their chances in selling their house more effectively by simply outshining the flood of listings that appear in the Spring time market: • Spring clean, literally. Tidy and de-clutter your home is the number one priority. As obvious as this tip is, a spotless, fresh-looking house is much more attractive than presenting a house filled with month-old newspapers, dusty benches and dirty windows. Make your property look its best. If you can’t do it yourself, hire a cleaner for half a day. • Clean floors, windows and mirrors – Make all these shine and twinkle • Have flowers arranged throughout the room – get buyers excited about Spring by showcasing the season inside your home • Clean up outside and create street appeal. This includes mowing the lawn, raking

Breaking the Sheep’s Back

Pictured is Monaro Regional Library Chairman, Tony Kaltoum; Gordon Litchfield, Principal of Gordon Litchfield Wool; author, Charlie Massy and his wife Fiona; Eddy Cernigoi of Monaro Books and Music; Director of Corporate Services, Alan Cairney and Monaro Regional Library Manager, Lyn Goucher. More than 80 people were present at Monaro Regional Library last Friday August 19 for the launch of Charles Massy’s book, “Breaking the Sheep’s Back”, a novel exploring the decline and fall of the Australian wool industry. Australia rode on the sheep’s back but in 1991 wool’s spectacular collapse led to the industry shrinking to a third of its size, along with 4.7 million bales of wool on the stockpile. Monaro Regional Library Chairman, Tony Kaltoum, opened the launch, followed by an introduction given by Gordon Litchfield, Principal of Gordon Litchfield Wool, one of the Monaro’s biggest wool brokers. Charles then spoke about the 12-year journey he experienced when writing the book and gave an insight into his 35 years of involvement in the industry. Copies of the book are available for purchase from Monaro Books and Music.

Grassroots 27 Get your return in by August 31 The Livestock Health and Pest Authorities are reminding landholders to lodge their 2011 Land and Stock Return before Wednesday August 31.

LHPA CEO Nigel Milan recently lodged a Land and Stock Return for his property and encourages landholders who haven’t lodged yet to do so. “Land and Stock Returns have been submitted for approximately 55 per cent of land holdings within NSW,” said Mr Milan. “It’s extremely important that all landholders lodge an annual land and stock return so LHPAs have the most up to date information on NSW properties and livestock. “The information you provide helps build a statewide biosecurity picture about agricultural usage and livestock numbers, which is invaluable in the event of an emergency disease outbreak. “Such information was used in the Equine Influenza emergency response,

allowing properties with horses in areas where outbreaks occurred to be identified quickly.” Anyone with a computer and access to the internet can lodge their Land and Stock Return online in a few simple steps, using the holding reference number and unique online password provided in the paper-based Land and Stock Return form. All LHPA ratepayers are required to submit a Land and Stock Return, even if they do not have stock. Failure to lodge a Land and Stock Return will mean an animal health rate and meat industry levy will be automatically charged in next year’s rates. The legislation does allow the LHPAs to issue fines for not lodging a return by the due date. To lodge your 2011 Land and Stock Return online, go to www.lhpa.org.au/ landandstock. More information about lodging online, including frequently asked questions, can be found at this address. For any queries or assistance in lodging your Land and Stock Return either online or by mail, please contact your local LHPA office.

Expert recommends ag investment Agriculture remains an attractive investment option, despite the industry acing significant challenges, according to one of Australia’s leading farmers. Growth Farms chief executive officer David Sackett said the current economic climate in Australia positioned agriculture as a smart investment opportunity because of its security. “The turmoil makes agriculture attractive because it’s seen as a relatively low risk and it’s backed by a sound asset in terms of land,” he said. Sackett said a lot of investors do not consider agriculture because they don’t quite know where it fits in their portfolio. “It’s not easy but if you get it right, it’s worthwhile doing.” “They look at it and sometimes think ‘well it’s all run by small farms – how does a big corporation with a few hundred million come in here?” Australia’s key point of difference according to Sackett is that it is seen as a “safe place”, where along with areas such as North America and New Zealand, investors can feel at ease bringing in their money. “So Australia is very attractive from that point of view,” he said. According to Sackett, the agriculture sector in North America and Europe holds less appeal because it is more expensive, and in Europe the concentration has been geared towards other drivers in the sector, such as environmental services. A similar position was echoed by Treasurer Wayne Swan on Monday who said with Europe and the US both facing a sustained period of sluggish growth, the prospects for the Australasian region remained strong. “While I know many Australians are uneasy about the economic outlook overseas, there’s a danger we lose sight of how different our situation is here at home,” Swan said. Sackett said while a lot of people were looking at investing in Africa, Asia and South America where the returns will be much higher – about 20-

30 percent – a lot more risk goes with those areas compared with Australia. “It’s a different market that is out there and people need to understand how it works and how to think about those things and how to present themselves in that market,” he said. Mr Sackett will be speaking about ‘Finding and thriving with outside investors’ at the Farming Ahead 2011 – Land, Water and Carbon conference, held at the Westin Hotel, Sydney, on September 7- 8. The company he leads, Growth Farms, manages significant agricultural assets in the vicinity of $300/$400 million worth – mainly in eastern Australia. At the upcoming conference Mr Sackett will discuss how to find investors, the range and type of investors and how to work with them. “I think you need to be really clear about what you want to achieve and what the benefits are to the investor, and then you need to learn to understand their language and understand how they think and what they’re looking at,” he said. “So you need to understand things like, what are the risks? What are the exit strategies, what’s the return, how you’re going to report, how you’re going to be accountable – all those sorts of things you need to think about.” Farming Ahead 2011 conference will present a comprehensive and insightful approach to the biggest issues confronting Australian farming’s key assets — Land, Water and Carbon. The Farming Ahead 2011 – Land, Water, Carbon conference will provide an ideal opportunity for primary producers, research, development and extension organisations and agribusiness corporations to connect. It will facilitate capacity building, the sharing of critical information for a sustainable and productive agricultural industry. The Farming Ahead 2011 – Land, Water, Carbon conference will be held at the Westin Sydney Hotel, Sydney New South Wales, on September 7-8.

Changes to Radio Services Nominate a hidden treasure at Charlotte Pass The Australian Communications and Media Authority has decided to vary the licence area plan (LAP) for Cooma Radio to make changes to radio services at Charlotte Pass, NSW.

The Rural Women’s Network program within Trade & Investment NSW, initiated the Hidden

Treasures project to promote and archive the work of these remarkable women. “There are plenty of hidden treasures in the Monaro and I hope we have many nominees from this area” Mr Barilaro said.

Bombala GP situation eases The critical GP situation in Bombala has been eased with two part-time doctors becoming available to assist Dr Colin Pate. Dr Pate has been coping as the lone doctor for a couple of weeks after the departure of Dr Tove Riphagen, following the departure of her husband, radiographer Dr Andre Riphagen. Southern NSW Health Services Director of Medical Services, Dr John Gallichio, has

advised Dr Pate will be assisted on two days a week by a former Bombala doctor who has been on maternity leave and on one day a week by an ex-Cooma doctor. Dr Gallichio said the health services were continuing to explore more permanent options and had been investigating an English-trained doctor, now residing in Sydney.

SNOWLINER DOES IT AGAIN! Last Wednesday August 17 Snowliner drove local residents to see the magnificent performance of Don Quixote, a ballet in three parts by the Australian Ballet Company held in the Canberra Theatre. Amongst those enjoying the performance were Des and Judy Trute, Geoff Bowland, Irene Ramm and Margaret Echarri. By all reports it was a most enjoyable evening everyone loving the production and admiring the choreography, expertly done by Aj-Gui Gaisina and costumes by Barry Kay. The ballet was set in Spain. For our ballet lovers The West Australian Ballet presents Cinderella on November 15 - 19, again at the Canberra Theatre. 10TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY A very proud David Price has just completed his 10th year as a presenter

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLIN Many Happy Returns of the Day to Col Cottam who celebrated his birthday last Monday at Cooma Chinatown where several of his friends joined him for lunch. Col has been laid up the last six weeks with a knee operation which kept him away from his favourite game bowling. However he hopes it wont be too long before he is out on the green again. Many Happy Returns of the Day Col and many more birthdays. WALKING GROUP The Magic Walking Group is proving very popular and departs from the Family Support Office at 9.30am for a 10am departure on Fridays. Everyone is welcome and the walk lasts approximately one hour. The Family Support Office is next to Medicare in Vale Street.

Riposte With spring just around the corner, (on my hands and knees in gratitude here. All hail to the Lord of the Green etc) be prepared to be inundated with television ads for diets and slimming aids, seemingly endless articles in women’s magazines about diets and slimming aids, whole pages in the lifestyle sections in the newspapers devoted to diets and slimming aids and your mail box full to overflowing with stuff about diets and slimming aids and possibly a flyer or two from the local gym. Supermarkets will follow suit and set about stocking the shelves in the personal care aisles with a fairly wide selection of sunscreen products, body lotions, after sun care lotions and the most amazing array of self-tanners ever known to Woman. Woman could be momentarily fazed here by the myriad on offer, which could also impact on her ability to make a snap decision in regards to which product on which to pounce (Note to Bloke: Woman can actually make snap decisions…!) but once she’s made up her mind it’s a cinch. Then, on the shelves in the next aisle, will be all the meal replacement biscuits, no fat health bars, slimming drinks and possibly other slimming things I don’t even know about hence

their failure to get a mention here and, in case you’re wondering…no, I don’t use them. I’ll happily power walk a couple of laps round the block though. It’s a seasonal thing though so if you have the misfortune to come down with a spring cold, don’t expect to find any of the usual cold/flu remedies on the shelves because there won’t be any but if you are pondering which shade of brown you want to be this summer you’re in luck. Oh, and hair care. There will be bottle after bottle of shampoos and conditioners, special conditioners, gels, mists, oils and leave-ins all designed to protect your hair from the ravages of summer sun, salt water, etc, etc, and keep it looking lustrous etc, etc, all summer long and I would swim backwards through shark-infested waters if they actually worked. Oh all right, so I have on-going issues with my hair and maybe these products really do all they promise but...only for others. Maybe I should just shut up on the hair thing. All the diets, slimming products and personal care products aside though, spring has almost sprung and this is one very happy girl, but one who could be happier if she dropped a kilo or two. Or three. Can power walking straighten hair?

Big win for Ben Bright Benny Bright, previously of Cooma, has recently won first place in the men’s snowboarding category of this year’s World Heli Challenge. The helicopter accessed snowsports competition held in Wanaka New Zealand came to life in 1995. From July 28 to August 11, 50 incredible skiers and snowboarders from around the world gathered at Mt Aspiring National Park where they competed in the two competitions consisting of an extreme day and a freestyle day. The extreme day involved riding steep, dropping cliffs whereas the freestyle day allowed the riders to show off their acrobatic and aerial skills. The winner was the best “all rounder” which is determined by combining their freeride and freestyle scores. On August 11, Benny was named men’s snowboarding

champion of the 2011 World Heli Challenge, the only Australian winner for 2011. This year, for the first time, the judging was done online as well as onsite. This allowed for the onsite judges, Nick Draxl and Mike Hygiemann, to consult with the virtual judges about the day’s conditions and any other specifics that may not have been discerned from the videos. Scores were reported as being very tightly contested within the top five in all categories. Ben was quoted on the Heli Challenge website saying “What sets the World Heli Challenge apart from other events is the camaraderie. I’ve been in and around lots of competitions, including heli-accessed competitions, and nothing compares. The camaraderie at the World Heli Challenge speaks for itself; it’s amazing.” Adding, “I’m pleased with the win

Sarah raises $21,000 for MCCR

because these days I spend more time coaching and managing athletes than in competition, this proves to the athletes that I’m working that I actually know what I’m doing”. Onsite judge, Mike Hygiemann, was also quoted on the website commenting “Benny went fast from the word go taking a nice air off the top and then stringing multiple airs throughout his entire run including two 360’s, an inverted 360 and a cork seven. He chose a different line too, which made the run stand out even more”. Benny came second in both the freestyle and extreme categories, giving him first place overall. As a prize he received free entry into the 2012 World Heli Challenge plus free entry into the King of the Hill and World Extreme Skiing Championships in Valdez, Alaska. The Bright family seem to have a consistency with success on the snowfields and should be very proud of what they have amounted to.

Sarah Allen in the City to Surf. Cancer survivor Sarah Allen (Nettleton) is thrilled with her first attempt at the City to Surf, in which she has raised more than $21,000 for the Monaro Committee for Cancer Research. Sarah said “I did it! The race was great fun and with completition came a great sense of achievement. I managed to jog the whole way as planned and my time was faster than I thought it would be. “It was great to be there on the day and I couldn’t help but

be swept up by the enormous crowds. “More importantly, though, I am so proud to have raised over $21,000 for MCCR to use to assist people with cancer on the Monaro. My hope is that this money can be put towards ensuring that people with cancer on the Monaro can receive services and treatment locally rather than having to travel to Canberra or Sydney.” Sarah’s Suitcase is open for further donations until August 30.

Julie Schofield and the Boyce City to Surf team. Another local runner in the City to Surf was Julie Schofield, running with the Boyce team. Julie reported “It poured rain between 7am until the gun went off at 8am. But then it turned out to be a nice day. “I crossed the finish line in one hour and 15

minutes so I am pretty happy with this effort. “A huge thankyou to all those that donated towards our fundraising efforts especially to my major sponsors; The ASC of NSW and Anytime Fitness (Cooma). We raised just over $18,000 for Angel Flight”.

Four Colts teams make finals series The last round of the season saw some great displays of rugby league and closely fought matches. The colts finished with four of the seven teams making the finals series. The under 10s, 14s, 15s and 16s have all qualified for the semis and we wish them the best. Presentation day for the colts is Saturday September 24 at Coffey’s hotel from 12 midday. Ex Cooma Colts players and Raiders stars Sam Williams and Brett White will be there on the day to give out the trophies and awards. The AGM will be held at 11am and all parents are encouraged to come along and help with the direction of rugby league in the Cooma District. Parents are reminded that team and individual photos are available from Schoo’s Studio. Snowy River Painting Under 7 Colts We travelled to Nicholls and took on Gungahlin Bulls Yellow and although we played really well we went down 36-12. It was a typical performance from the boys, one we’ve come to expect as they have improved each week. All the boys, Ryan, Adam, Talon, James, Brock, Kristian and Harry all had heaps of fun. Special thanks to Blayne, Belinda, Shaun, Jane and Brandon for carrying out the necessary duties required during the season. Thanks to A & D Scaffolding for their sponsorship and thanks to all parents, grandparents and siblings who came each week to cheer on the boys. Hope to see you all next year. Sportspower Cooma Under 10 Colts A top morning for our visitors, The Woden Weston’s. Kick off, first try and goal! Damon Fanning got the Colts the first and only score for the match. Even his catch, grab and shove over the side line to stop the opposition getting another try didn’t seem to help. 4-12. Second half saw the game turned up a notch with all boys getting amongst it but unfortunately Woden followed through to the end of the game getting past the Colts. Although Colts picked up the pace they couldn’t deliver. Coach Creedence Bartlett will be sorting out the team with hard hitting skills at training to get them back to form for the last leg coming up. Awards: Mc Donalds. Samuel Sergo. Player Of Week. Brendon Weston. Try: Damon Fanning 1. Score: 4-32 Byland Building Pty Ltd Under 11 Colts

Steve Byland Building under 11s travelled to Gungahlin on Sunday to play against the Gungahlin Bulls. The Bulls were first to find the try line but the boys defence was outstanding and they were unable to get to the line again. James Hill made an outstanding run dodging through the opposition to find the try line, with Luke day converting the try. Good solid defence by Josh Bruce, Dylan Elton, Matthew McDonald and James Cahill. A good run by Lachlan Inskip to score the next try in the corner and converted by James Hill. A good tackle by Lachlan Inskip forced the opposition to drop the ball and Joel Saville made a dash for the try line pushing through the opposition. The boys finished winning the game 16-4. Great game boys and what a fantastic season. Thanks you to Marlene Bottom (FAO) and dale Bond (league safe). Thank you also to our sponsor for the year Steve Byland Building. The South East Embroidery Under 12 Colts The South East Embroidery Under 12s travelled to West Belconnen to play the Sharks in a must win game to be able to make the semi-finals. Unfortunately the boys, even though they worked hard all game, were unable to come away with the win going down 26-16. I would like to thank Darcy, Sam, Brian, Sturg, Katrina and Tammy for all their help during the season. The Monaro Panel Beaters Under 14 Colts The Monaro Panel Beaters Under 14s took on fourth placed Yass in Yass last weekend trying to secure a semi final spot. The match was a tense one with the lead changing four times before a winner was eventually decided. Cooma got off to a great start with Josh Zammit scoring under the posts in the second minute. With the conversion, Cooma led 6-0. Late in the first half Cooma received a number of penalties in a row following indiscretions by Yass. The boys mounted good pressure and it was Josh Zammit who dived over close to the line to score. Aaron Pidcock converted for the Colts to regain the lead 12-10. The second half began with both sides unable to score due to a mixture of good defence and poor handling. Cooma were reduced to 12 players following Josh Zammit being given a 10 minute break for a high tackle. Yass seemed to lift after this and were able to score a long range try and regained the lead

16-12. Yass attacked again but dropped the ball. Cooma were able to control play and were rewarded with a try to Andrew Crimmins who scored wide out to even the scores. Aaron Pidcock was able to calmly kick the conversion from near touch for Cooma to again hold the lead 18-16. Andrew looked certain to score again late after being put through the line and racing 50 metres only to be brought down short of the line. Yass had the last few opportunities to score but Cooma’s defence again held and were able to take the points 18-16. Everyone for Cooma put in 100% with all players working hard in attack and defence. Good luck in the Semi Finals boys. Service One Members Banking Under 15 Colts BYE Melray Meats Under 16 Colts The Melray Meat under 16s, put on a great display of Rugby League on Friday night at the showground in front of a huge crowd. With both teams vying for fourth spot the game was always going to be tough one against Belconnen United. The sharks scored twice and converted both tries before Glen Paine dove across the line with a gutsy try. Jacob Moon used his onfield awareness to outsmart the sharks and score a sneaky try which Joel Smith converted taking the score to 1210 at half time. Blayne Thomas took second half first honours and barged over the line to put the colts in the lead 14-12. The sharks scored two consecutive unconverted tries to take the scoreline 20-14 in favour of the sharks. Blake Byrne was next to score a much needed try the colts and Joel kicked the conversion taking the score to 20 all. A penalty lead into a kick and Joel Smith snatched the two points to take the lead to 22-20 with only moments to go in the game. The colts ran out winners 22-20 enabling them to finish in third spot and now play Crookwell in the semi final next Friday. Thank you to Mark Weston, Lee Payne, Zac Smith and Nic Moon for assisting throughout the season and all the supporters who came along and watched the Melray Meats under 16s throughout the season.

Junior Red Devils semis loom All three junior teams have now played their final games for the 2011 season and all three have made it through to the ‘do or die’ semi final round next Saturday, to be held in Canberra. All three teams now must win on Saturday for a chance at the Grand Final the following week. The Melray Meats Under 10s - 10.30am North Curtin The High Country Hyundai Under 11s - 10.30am O’Connor The Mainstreet Under 13s - 1.45pm O’Connor The bus will be leaving Centennial Park at 7.45am Under 13s – won 77 - 7 Last Saturday the boys were back in tune with the game and although they played a much weaker Daramalan team they also did everything right as the score reflected. Everyone had a great game and positions were constantly changed to give the boys a run in different positions. Players were rested and others had full games with the tries spread throughout the team. The team drove over the top and cleaned out well, sending the ball to the backs. Mitchell Rolfe had an awesome game and Damien Hayden has tightened up the backline. Charlie Allen played well at halfback, as did

Hamish Martin-Smith in full back. Jeremy Mackay played a great game in the backs by defending and attacking the line and Christian Von der Berg played his best game of the season. Next week we meet Radford College in the Semi Final. This week training will be from 4pm until 5.30pm. Under 10s V Uni Norths 24 all With a confusing morning, the boys were off to a slow start. A much-improved Uni North team had the boys on the back foot for the whole game. The forwards played well, however the backs struggled due to players being absent or late to the game because of a ground change. The boys had to dig deep and fight all the way to get a 24 all draw. Hopefully next week will see a positive result in their semi final game. Points this week went to Broc Allen – 3, Colby Evans – 2 and Bailey Rogers - 1. Training will be at Rotary Oval from 4pm on Thursday.

Sport 33 Season ends on a bright note for Div 5 Cooma Tigers vs. Woden Valley Wednesday August 24, 2011

Saturday saw the final games of the season for Div 4 and Div 5 men; drawing to a close a fun and intriguing year in which many lessons have been learnt. At 1pm the Div 4 men took on the powerful Canberra Uni side, on a sticky and slippery surface. With nothing to play for, Coach Walker mixed the side up and gave some players a new position. Unfortunately the well-drilled UC team was too quick and experienced for Cooma, and the Tigers’ season ended with a poor result. In Div 5 it was a different matter. Taking on a struggling ANU team, the Tigers dominated the

majority of the game and the result was never in doubt.Goals to Troy Morgan, Andrew Bobinskas, and James Douglas sealed the three points and left the Tigers agonizingly close to the Semis in fifth place on the ladder. The boys wanted to pass on their gratitude to Coach Daniel Walker for all his hard-work and commitment this year. He has done a tremendous job running two teams, especially as half the players are based in Canberra. He was ably helped out by Ben Woodhouse,fitness coach extraordinaire!

Tigers feast on Woden inexperience PL Although the score sheet presented a substantial win for Cooma against Woden, the Tigers were made to fight hard for the victory. From the beginning both sides came rearing out of the blocks, but it was Cooma who had the first opportunities to open the scoring. With Cooma roaring in the home team’s ears, one would’ve expected the young Woden side to go on the defensive and try to hold out the rampaging visitors. However, the speed of Woden looked to pull them ahead on numerous occasions through ex Cooma Hector Alamos and star striker Alex Oloriegbe. Orchestrating a number of counter attacks, Woden produced a couple of one-on-one situations which went regrettably unconverted. Cooma responded immediately scoring in the 19th minute of the game through Goran Josifofovski. On the receiving end of a solid attack from Woden, Cooma dispersed the ball effectively through Marcial Munoz in the middle of the park, eventually finding Josifovski up front facing two Woden defenders. With quick dribbling and superb ball control Josifovski managed to beat both Woden centre-halves calmly placing the ball into the back of the net on a second ball rebound . 16 minutes later the Tigers doubled their advantage through Ian Elliot. Receiving yet another through ball from the mercurial Munoz, Elliot was able to beat the keeper and slot in his only goal of the game. The second half began with Woden substituting two of their most experienced players for a few up-and-coming stars of the future. Knowing finals football was out of the question, Woden’s young guns looked to gain invaluable experience of premier league football. From this point on, Cooma controlled the match with the majority of possession. Credit to Woden as Cooma failed to find the back of the net until 13 minutes from time even though the home side played with two 16 year old full backs without naming the numerous other under 18 players on the

pitch. The 77th minute of the match witnessed Jair Wilk cementing his place on the score sheet for the Tigers. Put through on goal by Josifovski, Wilk was fouled in the area after being pushed in the back. Stepping up himself to take the penalty, Wilk made no mistake as his shot beat the outstretched arms of the keeper who dived the right way. The 80th minute saw Adrian Labutte pull off a brilliant bicycle kick only to be denied by the keeper who parried the ball into the crossbar. The threat was not dealt with by the Woden defence as the ball fell to feet of Munoz who made no mistake from close range making the score line 4-0 to Cooma. Cooma then scored its fifth goal in quick succession as Josifovski’s superbly stopped effort fell kindly to striker Serdan Bircan who placed the ball into the back of the net.

penalty shot gave Woden the equaliser at 1 all. The penalty seemed to take the edge off the team. Cooma became defensive and kept themselves under pressure. Five minutes later Woden scored goal number two. Woden came back and scored a soft goal seven minutes later. Cooma were down 3-1 at half time. After a pep talk from Sam, the second half kicked off. This was a tighter contest. Cooma came back with a stronger sense of purpose and fine teamwork. Cooma pressured Woden and had several great chances to score. Woden defended strongly. They attacked but Cooma’s midfield and defence was up to the challenge. The game was hard and Cooma held their own but neither team was able to score. Final score Woden 3, Cooma 1.

With the win, Cooma now look to have one foot in the finals depending on Canberra City’s round 18 fixture against Olympic. City must lose to high flying Olympic and Cooma must beat bottom of the ladder Goulburn Strikers to cement their place in the final four. PPL It was a battle of hard tackling and numerous fouls. Cooma’s PPL fixture against Woden was one to remember as both sides had much to play for. Cooma looked to cement 2nd place on the PPL ladder and Woden could still play their way into a top four spot. Woden opened the scoring in the second half through young gun Oscar Ignetik who placed the ball into back of the net after confusion between two Tigers players. However, a Woden Valley victory was not meant to be as defender Serdan Bircan found the net when his low strike beat the home side’s keeper from long range. With the match ending 1-1, the race for a finals ticket will go down to the wire as the points are very close from 3rd to 9th.

Cooma 1 - Woden 3 (0-3 HT) Cooma started the game strongly, creating some half chances and holding Woden from creating much. However, against the run of play, a soft clearance by Cooma was punced on by Woden. The shot hit the post but unfortunately hit the back of diving Cooma keeper Barton and went into goal. The game settled into an arm wrestle but Woden managed to score a second. Cooma were still creating their own chances including a great through ball from Cirillo to Reis, with Resi chipping just over goal. A great break to Woden down the wing resulted in another heartbreaking goal. 0-3 at half time but the score did not reflect the eveness of the game. Much like the 1st time these sides met, Cooma dominated and won the second half. Cooma was rewarded for their efforts when Colbertaldo chipped over to Reis who rounded the Woden

Fielding the team was a concern on Sunday morning. Match fit players for Cooma were in short supply. Coach Sam had to borrow four players from the under 16’s. The whistle blew and Cooma hit the ground running. In spite of injuries and makeshift positions, the play was classy. Cooma pressured Woden from the start. Some great teamwork and pace delivered a sweetly positioned ball to Chris Phillips Waho drilled home a sensational goal. Possession and control of the game looked to be Cooma’s way. Midway through the half Woden broke into Cooma’s 6 yard box. Goalie Tim Magarry was penalised for pushing an aggressive Woden striker back. This

keeper and slotted into goal. The chances to Cooma in the second half were plenty. A Cooma corner was cleared out and fell to Ceravolo who then hit the ball first time only to see his shot tipped over the cross bar by the Woden keeper. The resulting corner saw a goal mouth scramble with 3 attempts at goal that Woden managed to survive. Soon after a thundering strike from Poon was well saved by the Woden keeper. Another good play by Cooma down the left wing fed the ball to Reis whose strike at goal clipped the crossbar as it came agonisingly close. Woden’s chances were few in the second half, with Gazy again being called on to clear off the line. Cooma deserved a better scoreline for their fantastic efforts, but regardless, everyone was proud of the boys today.

Cats end season with a terrific victory The Cooma Cats have thanked their supporters in the best way possible with an amazing come from behind win over the Gunghalin Jets in the final game of the 2011 AFL Canberra season. In what has been described as the Cats’ best 20 minutes of football in recent years, the Cats piled on seven goals to two in the final quarter to erase a three goal deficit at three quarter time and record an amazing 11 point victory. And in so doing, they capped off the club’s best on season in recent history. The final score read: Cooma Cats 16-11-107 defeated the Gungahlin Jets 14-12-96. Cats’ president Dave Paterson described the win as a great tribute to the team, and to the club as a whole. “It was a great effort by coach Damien Asanovski and the players to come out at the start of the final quarter two goals down and completely turn the game around with some great play, teamwork and desperation,” Dave said. But there was also a tinge of sadness with the Cats seeing two of their team mates hanging up their boots for the last time – stalwart Rob Brown and late starter Mark Fitzgerald. Coach Asanovski praised both players for their contributions to the team. “Rob’s been a great player for the Cats for many years and won the club’s Best and Fairest Award in 2008. His on field leadership and determination has been a constant inspiration to everyone on the field and his presence will be missed,” Damien said. “And Mark, who has only had two season’s with us, has also been a terrific influence on the team with his desire to learn the game at an age when most would be giving it away, and to provide terrific leadership to the younger players on the field,” he said. The Cats were very keen to end the season with a win to confirm the year as one of the club’s most successful in recent times with seven wins and a draw. “This win doubled the number of wins from last year and proves we are steadily improving on the field,” Damien said. The win also capped off a year of change and

challenges. “We have been working hard in developing and experimenting with our playing list throughout the season in an effort to increase our competitiveness which has been challenging at times,” Damien said. “Some things have worked, others have not been as successful as we might have liked, but overall we have continued to grow and the weekend’s win confirmed for us that we are on the right track in terms of how we as a club approach footy. “And that approach firmly remains one of ‘playing footy for fun’ through a club which has a strong family and community based culture which welcomes everyone into its ranks,” Damien said. As part of this family and community based club culture, the Cats hosted a special “supporters versus Supercats Juniors” game during the half time break in the seniors’ match on Saturday. “ W e had our S u p e rc a t s Under 14s side take on a team made up of parents and supporters during the half time break which was a terrific activity and won wide praise from everyone involved,” club president Dave Paterson said. “To see all those mums, dads and supporters who week in, week out provide all the off-field and administrative support to our senior and junior teams get a chance to play against the Under 14s was a highlight of the day. “And to have the Cats’ senior players in turn supporting the supporters and juniors on the field was a real and positive indication of the type of club we endeavour to be,” he said. The Cooma Cats will be holding their presentation night on Saturday night, 10 September. Pictured: Corey Tucker.

Cooma Stallions unlucky in nail-biter

Proud sponsor of the Holden Scramble:

Cooma Stallions vs Tathra Sea Eagles Knowing that this game could spell the end to their seasons, both teams were looking for a good start. The best part of the possession went Tathra’s way in the first 10 minutes of the game resulting in an early try to the visitors. The possession started to even out, and Cooma hit back with a try to Sommerville off a short ball from Smith. The Stallions then made it back to back tries when Andy Boller strolled over the line or Cooma’s second. The try was converted by Smith putting the home side in front 10-6. Tathra went into the sheds at halftime up 16-10 in a game that was still anyone’s to win. Cooma started the second half with all guns blazing, with tries to Clear and Findlow in quick succession leaving the score 20-16 in favour of the stallions. A freak try to Cooma’s Ben Rolfe extended Cooma’s lead to 8 points. Cooma’s go forward led by the likes of Issa, Sommerville and Berry was setting the standard for the crafty backline. Cooma’s early dominance in the second half was quickly put to an end with two tries to the Tathra Sea Eagles putting themselves two points ahead. At 26-24 the Stallions stuck together, and reacted with another classy try to Clear, this time off a cross field bomb. At 30-26 Cooma had it all but wrapped up with still plenty of time on the clock for Tathra to hit back. Tathra did so, not once but twice, putting the margin out to six points with three minutes to go, making the task very difficult for the stallions. The Stallions were finally beaten 3630 in front of a vocal Cooma crowd. In the end the speed of the Tathra backline proved a pivotal point in the game running rings around the Cooma defence at times. The Cooma Stallions would like to thank all supporters throughout the year along with major sponsor The Cooma Ex-Services Club. A reminder to all supporters and sponsors, Cooma’s reserve grade team and Oz tag ladies team play in Eden next weekend.

Tathra clawed their way back into the game, with Bega running out eventual winners 46-26. Best players were Tamateo (Bega), Parberry (Bega), and Finucane (Tathta). Reserve grade The reserve grade elimination semi-final between Eden and Bega was always going to be a knock em’ down, drag em’ out affair with both teams trying to gain control of the match in the early stages. Every time Bega scored Eden hit back, with no team being able to get a big break on the other. A flare up between the sides in the middle stages of the game saw Eden lift and take control of the match. Bega’s defence had no answer for to the fired up Eden team. The Eden Tigers proved too good in the end for the spirited Bega Roosters running away with the game 42-22.

Under 18s Tathra played Bega in the under 18s knockout semi-final at Cooma showground on Sunday. It was a spirited contest between the two sides that started out evenly, with both sides displaying exciting football knowing that a loss would end their season. Every time Bega gained the ascendency
