Cooma dancers in Tinseltown After much hard work fundraising, the girls from Monaro Dance Centre have finally been to the United States of America during the recent school holidays, to perform at various locations.

The 19 girls along with their chaperones departed Cooma on a cold July winter’s day to Sydney then arrived in Los Angeles to lovely warm summer weather.

The dancers ranging in age from nine years to 30 years are part of a troupe that auditioned via video for a company called ‘Dance around the World’.

Alliance files summons against State Government Snowy River Alliance (SRA) will file proceedings today in the Supreme Court of New South Wales against the NSW Water Administration Ministerial Corporation (who is the Minister for Water) over the Snowy Water Licence review.

SRA are requesting that the Supreme Court declare the NSW government’s first five-year review of the Snowy Water Licence invalid as it did not comply with the Snowy Hydro Corporatisation Act and consequently the Licence variations given effect on May 1 are also invalid and should be set aside.

“The Snowy Licence review has been a sham from the start,” Chairman of Snowy River Alliance, John Gallard,

said. “According to the Snowy Hydro Act the first five-year review of the Snowy Water Licence is a review of the Licence provisions relating to Snowy River environmental flows however the NSW government has addressed everything but the state of the Snowy River.”

“It is obvious that 10 years after the original agreements were signed to restore the Snowy River the Snowy Water Licence has failed to deliver the legislated increased flows,” Vice-chair of the Alliance, Louise Crisp, said.

“The Snowy remains on four percent of average annual flow below Jindabyne Dam although the legislated target for June 2009 is 15 percent and by 2010 is 21 percent.

The Licence review was the only opportunity to change the Licence and deliver real environmental outcomes to the Snowy River without triggering compensation to Snowy Hydro Ltd, yet the NSW Government turned its back on the river,” said Ms Crisp “The continued inaction by the Victorian and the Commonwealth Government, joint signatories to the Snowy legislation, in the face of the NSW Government’s intransigence has been incredibly disappointing,” Mr Gallard said. “Snowy River Alliance has been left with no alternative but to initiate legal proceedings.”

Libs open campaign office in Cooma Liberal Party candidate for Eden-Monaro, David Gazard opened his campaign office in Cooma last Thursday, with the Shadow Minister for Immigration Scott Morrison on hand to offically launch the site.

This office is one of nine across the EdenMonaro electorate, which Mr Gazard will use in the next few weeks until the election.

A sparsely furnished and heated office, Mr Gazard said it was mean and lean, like his election campaign.

He said it didn’t have many comforts because he intended to be out meeting people and learning of their concerns, not sitting in an office waiting for them to come to him.

He said he believed it very important a potential local member should be going to the people and described his campaign as ‘no frills’.

He said he was glad he had ‘lit a fire’ under sitting member Mike Kelly. Mr Gazard said Dr Kelly had been ‘missing in action’ in the electorate since his election in 2007, seeming

to spend most of his time at Parliament House.

He said through his travels around the electorate, he had found several issues of concern to locals, from wild dogs to the Nimmitabel water supply.

He said he knew that in the country “you have to fight for everythinbg” and he said he was prepared to “stick up for Cooma” and other towns in the electorate.

He said he wanted to make Cooma a destination where people would come and stay, not just use it as a ‘drive-through’ to somewhere else.

Mr Morrison said he was pleased to open the office and looked forward to welcoming Mr Gazard onto the team as the Member for EdenMonaro.

He said the electorate had had a great local member in Gary Nairn and he was confident Mr Gazard would be as conscientious and hardworking “but super-charged”. He said said Mr Gazard was an “absolute resolute champion” who would work tirelessly for the electorate.

Liberal candidate David Gazard and Shadow Minister for Immigration Scott Morrison cut the ribbon to open the Cooma campaign office, on the corner of Sharp and Bombala Streets, last Thursday.

Air safety workshops in region Snowy Mountain pilots are being urged to attend important air safety workshops early next month.

The workshops will provide local pilots with special training to improve their flying and safety skills. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority is holding the workshops to help make the skies over the Snowy Mountains even safer.

Pilots will be given detailed briefings on recent changes to flying procedures at regional and capital city airports. CASA’s Peter Gibson says the workshops are part of a national regional air safety campaign.

“Giving pilots from the Snowy Mountains extra training will lift their

safety skills to even higher levels,” Mr Gibson said.

“All pilots receive comprehensive training but these workshops mean they will be even better equipped to fly safely at all times and deal with emergencies.

“The Snowy Mountains has a good air safety record but accidents do happen and everyone in aviation must work hard to keep local skies safe.”

The workshops are being held at Cooma Ex Services Club on Tuesday August 3 and at the Jindabyne Bowling and Sports Club on Wednesday August 4, starting at 6pm.

Liberal candidate David Gazard talks with Gordon Litchfield and Helen French.

Making your 40s fabulous: your hormones, your libido, your health Women are invited to attend a free online health information seminar on the evening of September 1, 2010 at 7.30 pm at Snowy Mountains Christian School, Cooma.

National organisation, the Jean Hailes Foundation for Women’s Health, has joined with Sharp St Surgery and Cooma Community Health to make some of Australia’s leading women’s health experts accessible to women right across Australia.

Jean Hailes gynaecologist Dr Elizabeth Farrell, Sexual Health Physician Dr Rosie King and Dr John D’Arcy will provide women with the latest evidence-based information on some of the health issues that face women in their 40s.

“Many women going through the perimenopause, or time prior to menopause, feel as if they are on a roller coaster as they experience changes to their hormone levels, their periods and their emotions.

“They are not necessarily expecting these changes and sometimes wonder if what they are experiencing is normal,” says Dr Farrell.

“This peri-menopause phase is unique for every woman and their symptoms will vary greatly.

“Women need to be informed about this important time of their lives so that can enjoy their 40s and start to make plans for a healthy future,” she says.

Local organiser Dr Effie Parakilas says: “this is a terrific opportunity for women to explore some of the health issues they may be facing and help them make important choices in their 40s to ensure their long-term health and wellbeing,” she said.

“We encourage women to come along to hear about the latest research from experts in the field and to be part of a fantastic national event.”

The Jean Hailes Foundation for Women’s Health is an independent, not-for-profit national organisation, caring for the health and wellbeing of Australian women through education, research and clinical care.

Cooma CWA president Kaye Anderson proudly presents Barbara Scanes from the Renal Dialysis Unit with a cheque for $1000 to go towards a new chair for the unit. The funds were raised from this year’s curry luncheon, held by the CWA.

Council ensures SEC future The Board of the Snowy Enterprise Centre wishes to publicly thank the Cooma-Monaro Shire Councillors for their consideration and foresight in agreeing to underwrite the potential financial shortfall which could result from the Centre’s activities through to the end of 2011.

Chairman, Sid Downie, said “both the State and Federal Governments having abandoned their previous support for small business enterprise in our region, on which the Centre’s activities were based, Council’s timely agreement to underpin the SEC’s activities for the next 18 months gives the Board the capability and the incentive to continue to support the enterprises that need our help.

“The decision will also ensure that the SEC’s premises will remain in community hands in the unlikely event that the SEC should ever decide to discontinue its operations.

“As many in the community will know, the SEC, then operating as the Snowy-Monaro Business Enterprise Centre, has helped many local businesses since 1993 to start, develop and prosper.

“Unfortunately, the withdrawal of Government funded programs forced the SEC to cease its Business Advisory Service, our Business Adviser having left at the beginning of this year.

“We can now, however, and with a high degree of confidence, continue to deliver the following levels of support, in the capable hands of Liz McMahon:

their enterprises via low cost space rentals and office/secretarial support, will continue.

2. The excellent training and meeting rooms at 38 Bombala Street remain available for hire.

3. The provision of office-based information to small businesses will continue, through our ongoing association with Business Enterprise Centres Australia.

4. Where more detailed advice is desired, particularly face-to-face support, The SEC will facilitate communication with Capital Region Business Enterprise Centre, which is based in Queanbeyan, and which has the capability to provide a limited outreach service via a mobile Business Adviser.

5. The SEC will continue to offer training programs in support of small businesses and community groups where the need for such is perceived.

“The SEC is also co-operating with other business and support groups, in the community, such as Cooma Unlimited and the Cooma Chamber of Commerce, in the pursuit of a sustainable future for the shire and a comfortable and enjoyable future for its residents.

“The Centre will also endeavour to minimise the level of its shortfall by generating as much income as possible, hence minimising the cost to the shire. We will also continue to pressure the governments to give more attention to the needs of small business (“the backbone of the economy”) in our region, and to seek ways of becoming more self-sufficient as a not-for-profit 1.

Brumby fence in KNP ‘impractical’ The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) says fencing the major highways in Kosciuszko National Park (KNP) to prevent the movement of wild horses across major roads is completely impractical and inappropriate.

NPWS Southern Ranges Regional Manager, Dave Darlington, said there are “too many reasons to list why it won’t work.”

“Aside from the expense of erecting and maintaining a fence it would create many more problems than it solves,” Mr Darlington said.

“If you were seriously considering it, the fence options would include electric fencing which would create an ever present liability for tourists who want to pull over onto the road verge and walk into the bush with their young children.

“The alternative is a fence high enough to prevent horses from jumping over it and this would be an eyesore in a place that’s internationally recognised for its scenic beauty.

When the vast majority of people who visit the park see most of it from the road while driving, this would be a travesty.

“A simple multi strand wire fence would probably be dangerous for horses running through the country as well as presenting a dangerous obstacle for other wildlife and nocturnal birds.

“Every major and minor access point onto the Snowy Mountains Highway would require a grid or a gate that motorists would need to open and shut manually. It would prevent many people from pulling over and walking into the bush as they do. It would also be a very irritating impediment to horse riders and other park users trying to enjoy the park.

“If the rationale is to prevent horses crossing the road then why stop at the Snowy Mountains Highway?. Surely you’d have to consider the Alpine Way and the Elliott Way, not to mention roads in State Forests and other areas. Then there’s the issue of snow drifts building up against some fences. As well as this horses and other wildlife that manage to breech the fence would become an immediate and constant risk to motorists while they are stuck within a corridor of fencing.

“What about placing a barrier to the movement of native wildlife such as kangaroos across the middle of the park? This is a national park after all. I think local people and particularly tourist operators would be horrified at the prospect of an ugly fence being erected along considerable stretches of the major roads in the park.

“Fencing was certainly one of the options considered during the development of the KNP Horse Management Plan however we concluded that, as the stretches of highway and other roads where horses are likely to cross were huge, this is not a practical undertaking in a mountain environment.

“I think some people believe we should just put a fence up and forget about controlling the horse population. It is a nonsense to suggest we should just let the population continue to rise behind a fence. This is a serious issue and it is one that does not have a quick fix.

“The most suitable way to reduce the risk to motorists is to reduce the number of horses crossing the highway through trapping. We will continue to work with Brumby welfare groups who seek homes for these horses and will happily give them away but the reality is that there is limited demand for them. None of the groups we’ve approached can take them all.

When there are 40,000 unwanted horses across Australia going to abattoirs, finding a home for a wild horse is a big ask.

“At the end of the day there are too many horses in the park, and the NPWS has a responsibility to reduce their number, from both an environmental and public safety point of view. We acknowledge the strong attachment people have with these animals but the legend of the brumby was born when there were only a couple of hundred horses in the mountains and today there are thousands. The evidence shows the number will continue to grow unless we can remove at least 500-600 horses from the park annually.

“Some will go to homes but the rest sadly, will end up at abattoirs along with 40,000 other horses no one wants,” Mr Darlington said.

Dancers in USA Backyard blitz at preschool

From page 1 Owner and dance teacher Kala Ross entered the troupe some time back and they were successful in being selected to perform in Disneyland, Universal Studios and California Adventure Theme Park.

Following a very busy schedule the girls arrived and performed at California Adventure on the Monday, the Tuesday saw them at Disneyland, again performing and then attending a workshop.

Wednesday was a free day and Thursday they played tourists at Universal Studios, before performing on the Blues Brothers Stage there. On Friday they toured Hollywood, looking at all the famous landmarks, including Hollywood Boulevard, Rodeo Drive, Santa Monica and the stars on the footpaths around Mans Chinese Theatre. The girls then attended some more dance workshops including hiphop, contemporary and jazz. This was organised by ‘The Edge’ a US entertainment company. On Saturday the troupe performed in the Disneyland Main Street Parade and their last performance was on Sunday at the California Adventure.

Last Saturday saw a gardening ‘blitz’ at the Lambie Street Preschool, where garden beds were created or renewed. The gardens include herb beds, berries and vegetables. The gardens will give students at the preschool hands-on experience with gardens and a chance to get outdoors.

Swan on hustings with Kelly Deputy Prime Minister and Treasurer Wayne Swan along with member for Eden-Monaro Mike Kelly visited Cooma on Tuesday July 20, in preparation for the forthcoming election.

They lunched at The Pastry Box in Sharp Street and talked with passers by.

When asked by The Monaro Post about what incentives they had for small businesses in the region, Mr Swan said, “We are bringing down the company rate of tax and this will help promote economic growth. All small businesses will be able to instantly write off assets costing up to $5000. A lot of small business assets will now be able to be written off in the year of purchase.

“These changes mean small businesses won’t have to spend as much time on

complicated tax calculations or with their accountant.”

Dr Kelly said “the Monaro is an area full of renewable resources, that are being utilised by a lot of local companies such as Snowy Hydro, Lloyd Energy and the wind farm projects. All of these companies plus more are helping to provide jobs and boost the local economy.”

“We have helped a lot of people to gain employment in this region, especially with all the money spent on the local schools over the past couple of years. I recently spoke to a builder at Cooma North public school and he had put on two new apprentices because of all the building work with the schools.”

Emergency services Police are warning people to be vigilant of where they are leaving their skis and snowboards when at the resorts as they have had several reports of stolen skis and boards over the past week.

A black stone female lion was stolen from the Grand Court Chinese Restaurant, between 5pm and 10pm on Saturday. The lion is valued at $500.

It is believed that whoever separates the male (he is still at the restaurant) and female lions will have bad luck.

A male was seen urinating just outside the 60km zone near Cooma on Friday. Police say he was in clear view of all passing traffic, which was significant including families. There are ample public toilets available and there was also bush a very short distance away. He was issued a criminal infringement notice for offensive behaviour of $200.

A break and enter occurred in Vulcan Street Cooma between 8am and 4pm on Thursday. A back shed was forced open and items taken. A white Commodore was seen parked on the

Lambie fire trail and near the shed.

Police are asking for public help if you saw this vehicle, call Cooma police on 6452 0099.

Police, Ambulance and the Snowy Hydro Southcare Helicopter all attended a single vehicle roll over on the Monaro Highway on Saturday at about 1.30pm. A Subaru travelling south drove off the road and rolled for some as yet unknown reason. There were five occupants in the vehicle, with three being flown to Canberra Hospital by helicopter and two to Canberra Hospital by road. The 73-year-old male driver suffered chest, head and spinal injuries and was stabilised at the scene by paramedics. A 35-year-old female suffered spinal and arm injuries and the three children minor injuries.

Two kelpie dogs attacked two poodles being walked by their owner in Lotus Avenue Kalkite on Sunday. The poodles were taken to the vet and the incident reported to police. The matter is now in the hands of the Snowy River Shire Council.

Something for our member to consider Editor, I would like to make the people of Monaro aware of what is happening at the Cooma Renal Dialysis Unit.

We, the Renal Dialysis Group, are requesting the State Government to give us a renal dialysis-trained nurse/s to assist the patients with their dangerous and complicated procedures they have to perform to do their dialysis treatment.

After each patient has finished dialysing, they then have to clean their machine thoroughly ready for the next patient to use.

Not only do they have to do this, but they have to check and order their medical stock, then in a couple of days when that stock arrives at the unit, the patient has to put it way in storage for when it is needed.

If we had a nurse, this would be part of her workload, not the sick patient’s workload.

Bega hospital started its dialysis unit with three patients and one nurse caring for them – why can’t Cooma be the same?

Members of the renal group have been approached lately by local residents about visitors dialysing in Cooma.

One resident was having family visiting her from Queensland and wanted to know if a member from the visiting family could dialyse at the Cooma facility. They were refused on the grounds that there were no nurses there to help that visitor.

Another example was visitors coming over from Adelaide.

The State Government, along with Greater Southern Area Heath Service (GSAHS) and the Member for Monaro, Steve Whan, don’t seem to care too much about these sick patients.

Steve Whan does not care and does not keep up with what is going on, is always ‘babbling ‘ about rubbish and

gives the incorrect number of machines at Cooma hospital.

If Mr Whan wants another term representing the Monaro, I suggest he reconsiders going us a nurse to make life a little bit brighter and of higher quality for our dialysis patients.

This facility is another service provided to the pubic where it is easier to dialyse at home in Cooma rather than travel a round trip of 200km every second day.

It is also a facility for visitors to the area that need dialysis.

If nurses were in attendance, visitors could make an appointment and have their treatment while holidaying here – we are a tourist area.

The number of people using dialysis now is 10,000, a sic percent increase e in the last 12 months.

The nurses that the government is making redundant could easily be employed to work in dialysis units around the state – including the Cooma unit.

Steve Whan would gather himself more votes in the electorate if he gave the renal unit a nurse.

His constituents Are very compassionate about their local hospital, especially the dialysis unit.

If he doesn’t give us a nurse, then let’s hope in March 2011 we have a change of State Government and the Coalition have already spoken to the renal group and promised nurses immediately and a satellite unit to be put in place at a later date for our beloved patients.

The satellite unit would be the ultimate!

Think about all this Steve.

the

postman calls

They must be printing money in Canberra – another election and once again the $$$$$ are being talked up around the electorate.

It’s interesting to see who is offering deals to whom, really.

The Greens have offered Labor their preferences, even though

they don’t like Labor’s climate change inaction.

So, effectively, a vote for the Greens, who can’t win on their own, is really a vote for Labor.

So what’s the point of being a separate party?

And that debate. Did anyone watch it? An hour of Julia Gillard’s

monotone would have been enough to put most people to sleep – those who hadn’t already turned to DVDs. Of course, the polls insist on telling us who is winning. The Postman would like to know ANYONE from this region who has participated in one of these.

Just asking someone in Queabeyan doesn’t count. It’s time Queabeyan was excised from both Monaro and EdenMonaro electorates and either made part of Canberra, or given its own voter base.

What bothers Queanbeyan voters doesn’t always reflect what

bothers the rest of us.

One thing that does bother is the bad driving in town in the last few weeks. Double white lines?

They just mean doing a U-turn in Sharp Street, doesn’t it?

Public travel not all that good

Broadband for all?

Editor, Recently we have been flooded with advertisements telling us the virtues of the National Broadband Network. Can Mr Kelly please clarify or answer the following.

The statement “The NBN will connect 90 percent of all Australian premises with fibre-based services with 10 percent connected with next generation wireless and satellite technology, subject to final design.”

If the wireless and satellite is so good, then why is not the whole of Australia being connected to this so called equivalent technology?

Will areas such as, Anembo, Jerangle, Peak View, Numeralla, Countegany and Kybean be connected to the NBN? If not, why not?

Is it because there are not enough votes in these areas?

If there is no NBN connection to these and similar communities, then satellite is the only option as generally there is no mobile coverage.

Will the government subsidise the cost of the plans.

For example, satellite 5 GB is

9

$49.95 compared with normal broadband, 180 GB is $49.95.

Those that are deemed to be unworthy of normal 21st century communications should be given access equal to what the 90 percent of the population will receive.

What will the government do to increase the reliability of satellite connections, eliminating constant dropouts and weather interference?

“The National Broadband Network (NBN) to be designed, built and operated by NBN Co will provide the enabling infrastructure to help Australia realise its digital potential.”

Mr Kelly, you must be reminded that people living in these areas that might be denied access to the NBN are all Working Families.

Yes there are Working Families living out in the bush, not only the Western Suburbs of Sydney.

People also try to operate businesses also in these areas.

Editor, We decided to visit the Hans Heyson art exhibition in Canberra on the last day but as our car was undergoing service we decided to travel by bus.

Seats were booked with Countrylink by phone and we were directed to collect our tickets at the Cooma booking agent.

My wife undertook this and after a lengthy wait while the proprietor guided a new employee through the intracacies she was issued with 2 computer printouts.

She was charged $12.87 booking fee and $2.50 return for her ticket.

She had omitted to take my senior’s card, the number of which had to be advised to Countrylink so I was charged $13.70 one way.

I bought my return ticket for $2.50 from the bus driver.

A later examination of the “tickets” showed that although not required nor requested we had been booked on the train to Sydney.

While waiting at the goldfish bowls with the ergonomically disastrous seats we were joined by an elderly friend who had been advised that the bus was fully booked, but he turned up on spec.

The bus was less than 3/4 full so for $2.50 return he got his trip to Canberra.

We alighted at Canberra railway station intending to take an “Action” bus but we had just missed one and as there was a wait of 50 minutes we took a taxi which for $12.50 delivered us to the door of the art gallery.

Afterwards we walked over to the National library and spent some time there.

When we decided to return we could find neither a bus stop nor a taxi. We walked for about a km. and found a bus stop but it was for the wrong bus route, so we walked the remaining 4km to the station to catch the bus to Cooma.

This was a bit slow as my wife’s reconstructed knee is not quite back to normal yet.

We had a very enjoyable day, the bus is very comfortable and I’m sure that the exercise was beneficial to our health.

However, I do hope our “Green” friends will forgive us when in future we use the car.

To those who do use the bus I suggest you book by phone and pay your fare to the bus driver.

Noel Carter, Cooma.

Staff and students celebrate at Gidgillys.

Gidgillys has recently undergone a rigorous process of Accreditation and come out with a “high quality” rating across seven quality areas of early childhood care and provision as an early childhood service.

The centre was required to submit a self-study report, as well as to demonstrate its knowledge and professional practice of policies, procedures and early childhood education.

Just a week after Accreditation, staff and

children were also celebrating Gidgillys’ fourth birthday with a giant birthday cake.

“The high quality score cements our place as a qualified, committed group of professionals providing a high quality service to the children and families of Jindabyne,” Director Emma Smith said.

“It is a testimony to our wonderful staff team, who continually aim for high quality everyday”, she said.

Cooma CWA news There was a good attendance at the July Cooma CWA meeting.

Following the friendship hour the members shared a special lunch of Scottish food as part of the study of Scotland for this year.

Another Curley One

Affairs of State

Will their chosen lose tonight And leave them sad and heartsick.

The great debate

Sunday night’s the great contest The nation’s gripped by fever The judge confers, the feelings The mums and dads, the young high and old We all wait to hear them say Are ready to receive her.

She’s won they shout and loudly The huge flat screens with sound cry To her belongs the day. all round

Light up in great excitement Now the Master Chefs been To fail at this late stage and lose chosen the prize Perhaps they’ll cahange the station Would be a sad indictment Switch to the other contest To see who’ll run the nation!

The fight begins, the tension grows Some viewers start to panic

Curley

As I see it Gail Eastaway There is a lot of fluff and bubble about illegal immigration into this country, mainly those visible folk arriving by boat.

The hidden illegal aspect of course, is those who enter the country legally, but then just won’t go home.

They get lost in the system somehow. Occasionally they are located in ‘raids’ on a variety of businesses, like farms, but so many of them just stay on and on, like the last guest on Christmas Day, not taking the hint that it is time to go.

Australians are still pretty wary of terrorism too – hence the security checks at airports. But are these checks worth the effort?

Flying to Melbourne very recently, it was possible to book and pay for a ticket online and download a boarding pass the same way.

This is great for travellers, but not necessarily so for national security.

At Canberra (and Melbourne) airport the usual checks were in place – the bags x-rayed, the obligatory percentage of passengers zapped for explosves, etc, and then onto the plane.

No official, airline employer, noone, bothered to check the identity of the holder of the boarding pass.

I could have been Ghengis Khan leading a horde of invaders onto the plane (okay, Ghengis DID tend to use horses, so that might have been a bit of a giveaway, but you get the idea…)

So, it is really no wonder we have ‘illegals’ at large and moving about the country at will, when they can do all their bookings, etc, remotely and nobody checks who they are when they get on the aircraft.

Scary!

At least we can see the seafarers as the flotilla docks at Christmas Island each day.

Picture an 80-year-old pensioner sitting by the recently aquired electric heater in her cottage on the shady side of Mulach Street on a July morning, with her $400 electrity bill in her hand, contemplating the cost of turning up the heater for warmth. She knows electricity cost are predicted to rise by 60%.

A few years ago she had her wood burning heater replaced by an new electric/gas heater as a result of a very tempting cash offer from the NSW State Labor Government who claimed that ‘smoke pollution’ was risking air quality and placing the lives of asthmatics at risk.

Over zealous environmentalists had convinced the NSW Government that burning wood was a threat to the atmosphere, native habitat and the health of the residents of Cooma and all country towns, despite the fact that the practice of burning wood for heat and fuel is as old as the human race.

The incentive scheme to change fuels was driven by political expediency not rational thought, common sense and here is why.

The wood gathered for the old lady by her Grandson on Sundays from nearby forests, not only was provided free heat to the pensioner , but reduced fuel levels in the forest and therefore the intensity of bushfires and threat to native animals, human kind and surrounding dwellings. Those surviving the Marysville fires in Victoria will testiify to this theory.

In addition it provided a healthy outdoor activity for the Grandson, regular contact with his lonely Grandmother, and a sense of goodwill in the community as this practice was common in rural areas across the State, and had been for generations. This was a way of life.

Now lets look at the comparisons of energy generation lifted from the Energy Cost Calculator and the science .

That new electric heater even at 2005 prices of say .18 cents /k Whr cost $50 per gigajoule, while Coal at $350 per tonne costs $16 per gigajoule.

And you guessed it, that old wood burning heater, with fuel carted by the Grandson, even if

Riposte Lisa Ashurst Looks like the next big thing in televisions is going to be the 3D version and I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not. It will probably be good for people in the market for a regular TV because the price of those are going to come down quite a lot in order to clear the shelves for the newer, more expensive 3D versions.

But do we really need them or have we just gone technology crazy? Okay, 3D movies are big at the theatres now and according to the reports, seeing them is quite an experience.

Not content to leave it there though, we now have the chance to own a 3DTV which means we can experience the 3D movie fix every day of the week if we want.

Well I’m not so sure that I want. Aside from the possible side effects of watching too much 3D, there’s going to be the probable annoyance of the lost glasses (needed to watch 3D) because I can see them going the same way as the TV remote...missing!

he charged his Granmother $160 per tonne, would only cost $10 per gigajoule.

Add to this the fact that wood laying on the forest floor is destined for the atmosphere in some form at some time in the future, surely it makes sense to capitalise on that process and generate energy.

For those who have had the good fortune to visit the Kosciuzsko National Park since the tragic 2003 Bushfires, you will be well aware of the vast areas of dead but retrievable dead timber. Massive areas of tombstone like forests across the park slowly rotting, pending their slump to the ground, where they become fuel for the next major conflagration.

It is illegal to remove dead timber from the National Park on the basis that it provides habitat for native animals. Regretably many of these animals no longer exist because they were burned in the 2003 fires, along with their habitat.

The little old Lady on the shady side of Mulach street will not turn her heater up, but will reach for another blanket to wrap around her shoulders, nor will she see the warmth of her Grandson and his load of firewood, because the environmental zealots have convinced a weak Government and its beauracrats, that it is politcally correct and ‘environmentally friendly’ to burn coal driven electricity to save the planet rather than use a renewable product which is destined to burn at some time.

As a Nation, a community and as individuals, it is time to consider if we can enjoy the luxury of such stupidity for another generation.

Scientists are already predicting a return to wood burning fuel an inevitability, as alternative non renewable fuels reach their point of extinction.

To achieve a sustainable environment, we must look backward as well as forward to extract wisdom from our ancestors and maximise the science of current generations to make decisions based on a healthy mix of evidence, rather than the whims of political activists of the day.

The Rabbit Trapper the remote only to find that you have to do it all over again to find the glasses? Do you really want the hassle?

But the other thing is this, how much 3D do you really need in your life because when you think about it, we live in a 3D world as it is and, until it became available, none of us were bemoaning the fact that all our visual entertainment was in flat screen 2D! It was still just as entertaining and we didn’t need the glasses Which brings us back to the technology thing. In a lot of cases it’s great but in others I find myself asking if it was really necessary and 3DTV is one of those things that has me wondering if it’s worth all the hype and the expense of owning one or is it just another case of one upmanship? Being the first in your street to have 3DTV will hardly impress the neighbours you know, because they’ll be too busy hating you for beating them to it.

With technology moving at the rate that it is though, you’ll probably find that by the time you can afford to get one they’ll be old hat because there will be something even newer; like hologram visuals that take place in the middle of your lounge room and you’ll need to mortgage the house just to afford it!

Nope. Think I’ll just stick with 2D.

Labor promises big spend on health Continued from page 7...

The aim of the program is to strengthen local partnerships to promote a range of exercise and activity groups targeting youth and working with local families.

Some of the activities include: • developing community gardens and kitchens, • conducting cooking classes, • providing education about food and nutrition; • establishing a local farmers market, • injury prevention programs focusing on road accidents and binge drinking,

• smoking cessation, and • youth mentoring programs.

The program will help a variety of towns in the council area including Bombala, Delegate, Jindabyne, Adaminaby, Dalgety, Nimmitabel and smaller surrounding towns.

The Minister and Dr Kelly also received a tour of the Cooma hospital and announced that Cooma will receive an additional $36,500 to purchase new equipment for the hospital – which will enable the purchase of a bipap ventilator and a forced air blanket warmer – equipment that will help the emergency department.

The volume of residential land sales fell for a second consecutive quarter in March 2010, while median land values flattened out.

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, highlights the risk of a renewed decline in new home building starts next year.

The HIA-rpdata.com Residential Land Report shows the volume of land sales fell in the March 2010 quarter to a level 40 per cent lower than in the March quarter last year. Meanwhile the weighted median land price for Australia held steady in the first quarter of 2010 (-0.1 per cent), for annual growth of 6.9 per cent.

throughout the remainder of 2010. It also reinforces the compelling case for urgent action in ensuring adequate, affordable land supply, including addressing the restriction of finance for residential development which is severely handicapping new home building activity,” added Harley Dale.

Sydney remains the most expensive residential land market in the nation with a median price of $305,000. Outside the capital cities, the Sunshine Coast in Queensland remains the most expensive land market with a median price of $260,000.

There are twelve markets across Australia where median land prices sit at or below the $100,000 mark. The most affordable market is the Mallee region of Victoria ($72,000), followed by Murray Lands ($77,000) and the South East ($80,000) in South Australia, East Gippsland in Victoria ($80,000), and the Murrumbidgee region in New South Wales ($83,000).

Rpdata.com national research director Tim Lawless, suggests the consecutive quarterly declines in land sales reflect the price sensitivity in the residential market.

“The interest rate rise in March, which followed monthly increases over the December quarter last year certainly dampened market conditions, particularly amongst the first home buyer and low income segments of the market.”

“The continued weakness in vacant land sales is a bit of a worry considering the ongoing demand for housing remains high. The low volumes of land sales suggest continued price sensitivity from the market and further housing pressures ahead.”

Mr Lawless doesn’t expect any material improvement in land sales over the June quarter. “Considering the rate rises in April and May, lower consumer confidence, and lower housing finance commitments over the June quarter, we don’t expect any real improvements in the vacant land figures soon”.

As with most modern homes, the kitchen is designed to form the hub of day to day family living with a centrally located breakfast bar incorporating the family room, adjacent a magnificent sunroom with perfect north east aspect for those sometimes chilly winter mornings.

Treasurer and member meet with Cooma Chamber of Commerce

Centre would be safe in Cooma under a Labour Government.

A range of issues impacting individuals and small business including some residual concerns over the Henry tax reform package were presented by Kathy. She also spoke of the extraordinarily unfair excess contributions tax that can tax contributions to superannuation above the caps at a rate of up to 93 percent.

Mr Swan received the comments and suggestions raised and agreed to consider them.

David and Kathy talked of the impact of the drought on our farming and economic community. They also spoke of excess retail capacity within Cooma and their hopes for growth to absorb this.

The Chamber expressed their thanks for the Treasurer and Dr Kelly making the time to meet during their busy schedules.

Treasurer, Wayne Swan accompanied by Dr Mike Kelly made time on their visit to Cooma on Tuesday July 20 to meet with representatives from the Cooma Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

President David Shelley and treasurer Kathy Kelly pushed the case for supporting growth in Cooma.

David explained about the infrastructure already in place in our town which is capable of supporting good healthy growth in the Cooma Region including fibre optic cable, natural gas, sewerage treatment capacity and water availability.

In recent days the Government has been asked to consider issues around expected population growth in Australia and the demands on infrastructure.

The Chamber representatives pointed out that we can offer so much to those moving to Cooma and the area however there is a need to ensure jobs are available. The treasurer and local member were asked for their consideration of government support in this area.

It was agreed that Cooma is incredibly lucky to have such wonderful facilities in our retail and general services as well as our schools and hospitals, the latter supported by wonderful doctors that many other country towns would be envious of.

Kathy acknowledged the positive impact that both call centres had in Cooma.

Dr Kelly confirmed that the Defence Call

The Snowy Mountains now boasts a new Japanese restaurant in Jindabyne, Eboshi.

Opening on May 1, Eboshi has attracted diners from all over the area for lunch and dinner.

Owners Adrian and Maiko Douglas are serving up freshly prepared, authentic Japanese cuisine, including Tonkatsu Curry, Sukiyaki and a huge range of sushi as well as take-away Bento lunch boxes.

After moving to Jindabyne five years ago Adrian and Maiko decided 2010 was the year to open their restaurant, as they had been planning to do since moving there.

With a little help from a friend, who just happens to be a Japanese chef, Hitomi Johnson from Berridale, the restaurant is now not only up and running but thriving. “At Eboshi you meet your friends, eat, drink and there’s no formality about it at all. The style of eating is similar to the Spanish Tapas way

2010 Federal election comment Funding for Bombala pool redevelopment The Gillard Labor Government will provide $460,000 to Bombala Council towards the redevelopment of the Bombala Pool Complex, if elected on August 21.

The announcement was made last week by Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, Anthony Albanese, and Member for Eden-Monaro, Mike Kelly.

The Bombala pool project is worth more than $700,000 and is expected to include: • Construction and fit out of a gymnasium and new amenities with access for people

with disabilities.

• A new entry point, kiosk, laundromat and associated infrastructure.

• Children’s play area.

• Solar hot water heating and water tanks for storage.

“We are committing these funds for urgent upgrades needed to provide Bombala residents with basic sport and recreation infrastructure,” Anthony Albanese said.

“The Bombala Pool redevelopment is an important part of Federal Labor’s plans to

Liberal Candidate for Eden-Monaro, David Gazard, has confirmed his support for the Cooma Defence Call Centre which was established in Cooma thanks to the hard work of Liberal Gary Nairn.

“Mike Kelly’s electorate-wide scare campaign on the Liberals public sector job freeze has done nothing but highlight all of the public sector jobs secured for Eden-Monaro by his hardworking predecessor Gary Nairn,” Mr Gazard said.

Mr Gazard said that under the coalition’s policy, no public servant would lose their job if they wanted it.

“It is irresponsible for the Government to borrow $100 million every day, and not seek to find some savings across government expenditure” Mr Gazard said.

build stronger and healthier communities and to tackle the longer term challenges we face in ensuring a sustainable population.”

“This is fantastic news for the Bombala community. The community has been fighting for this project for a long time and I am really proud that the Gillard Labor Government will deliver on the community’s vision,” Mike Kelly said.

“The project will support jobs in Bombala during construction while delivering infrastructure to support healthy sport and recreational activities over the long term.

“This funding will build on Federal Labor’s record investment in local community projects, such as the In-Ground Watering System and the Grandstand Upgrade at the Exhibition Sports Ground in Bombala, and the Trade Training Centre at Bombala High.”

This announcement will be fully funded, consistent with the Gillard Labor Government’s commitment to return the budget to surplus in three years.

Doctors call for ‘a fair shake of the sauce bottle’ this election The Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) is calling on all parties contesting the federal election to commit to provide rural communities with their fair share of health funding to improve local access to healthcare in the bush.

Releasing RDAA’s Federal Election Position Statement 2010, RDAA President Dr Nola Maxfield said over the past three years the Rudd/Gillard Government had been busy shaking up the health system but rural doctors hardly got a dribble of extra funding.

“Kevin Rudd was famous for calling for a ‘fair shake of the sauce bottle’ and we think it is about time someone shook the bottle our way,’ Dr Maxfield said.

“For too long healthcare in rural Australia has been overlooked, and it is time this great inequality is addressed.

“We know that Australians living in the bush have shorter life expectancies and poorer health outcomes than their city cousins. With at least 17,000 more health professionals needed in rural areas, including an extra 1800 doctors, urgent action must be taken to turn the worsening rural health crisis around.

“We call on all the parties to make a fair dinkum commitment

to addressing these inequalities and to set a higher standard of access to local health and hospital services for those living in rural communities.”

This election, RDAA is calling on the political parties to commit to introduce three key initiatives to support rural Australian communities: A National Rural Health Service Obligation—to set the standards of access that rural Australians should expect when it comes to local health services such as general practices, maternity services and other basic health services A National Rural Generalist Training Pathway—to support and train rural doctors of the future to provide essential health services to rural communities and rural hospitals A Rural Rescue Package—to reward those doctors who choose to support rural communities by providing medical services in the bush and who provide essential hospital-based services such as obstetrics, anaesthetics and surgical care.

“With a swing against the Gillard Government a real possibility, marginal rural seats will play a big role in this election,” Dr Maxfield said.

Property rights legal detail shows solutions The NSW Farmers’ Association’s Annual Conference’s official opening address by constitutional lawyer Professor George Williams has given hope to farmers jaded with the continual erosion of their property rights.

Speaking on the issues that have dominated the farm lobby’s agenda all year, Professor Williams says NSW law is in

a sorry state when it comes to property rights.

“This problem is a long-standing one that periodically comes to light when the community becomes aware of injustices around the protection of private property,” Professor Williams said.

“This problem can be fixed. There are a number of ways forward that offer better protection for NSW property rights.

“These range from amendment of the Australian Constitution through to the enactment of new legislation by the NSW Parliament.

“Whatever approach is adopted, it is clear that giving appropriate protection of property rights in NSW is achievable.

The legal impediments can be overcome, making this reform a question of leadership

and political will,” he said.

NSW Farmers’ Association President Charles Armstrong says this message is a very important one for farmers, and all members of the community.

“The legal detail of the battle we are fighting can be exhausting and daunting. To hear one of Australia’s most respected constitutional lawyers say it can be done is indeed motivating,” he said.

“The Association has been conscious throughout our property rights campaign that this is a battle that has many fronts, including the legal with the political.

“Professor Williams is very adept at explaining this complicated issue, and I know that the over 300 farmers and special guests who attended our Annual Conference opening this morning have appreciated his efforts,” Mr Armstrong concluded.

Farming industry desperately needs young people An urgent need for young people in farming industries has prompted delegates at the NSW Farmers’ Association’s 2010 Annual Conference: Value of Agriculture to seek immediate action from State and Federal Governments.

NSW Farmers’ Association Rural Affairs Committee Chair Sarah Thompson says at present, there are a limited number of young people in Australia’s agricultural industry resulting in a skills shortage in the farming industry.

“A specific example of this problem can be found in research recently commissioned by the Australian Council of Deans of Agriculture (ACDA) that concluded that there were probably fewer than 800 agricultural science graduates each year to meet job market demand of 2000,” Mrs Thompson said.

Another report commissioned by the ACDA has concluded that there has been a 30% decline in agricultural graduate completions at Australian universities for the period 2001-2006.

“These figures show the need to make tertiary agricultural subjects such as agricultural science more accessible and affordable to students across the nation,” she said.

“It also highlights the role agricultural education in high schools can play in promoting agriculture

Thursday 5th August at 10.30am

as a degree option for tertiary education which could then lead to a professional career in the agricultural industry.

“Highlighting the importance of sustainable food and fibre production through years K-12 can play a key role in promoting agriculture to young people and could encourage them into a career in the agricultural industry.

“A process by which this can be accomplished is through the integration of a Sustainable Food and Fibre Policy (SFFP) into the National Curriculum.

“A SFFP for schools across the nation would act as an important foundation to mandate compound units of study to be placed within the curriculum highlighting how food and fibre are produced, the interconnectedness of food and fibre production, rural communities, the natural environment, cities and the country as a whole.”

The Association is currently developing a SFFP to be implemented at a National level for schools from K to Yr12.

“The Association has voted to pursue an increase in funding in rural high schools, TAFEs and universities for the purpose of ensuring that rural families have access to high quality education,” Mrs Thompson concluded.

President re-elected Nyngan farmer Charles Armstrong has been re-elected as the NSW Farmers’ Association President for a second term.

The President was elected unopposed.

In his first year, Charles Armstrong has been heavily involved in successful campaigns relating to the CPRS and also the erosion of property rights.

Mr Armstrong says he looks forward to taking these campaigns into the future and representing farmers to the best of his ability.

Mr Armstrong holds a Bachelor of Agriculture Economics from the University of Sydney. He has held several positions with the Association including Executive Councillor, Vice- President, Senior Vice- President and Treasurer.

Charles Armstrong has been re-elected president of the NSW Farmers’ Association.

Serrated tussock battle launched near Bredbo

By Lisa Ashurst

The Serrated Tussock Working Party for NSW and ACT launched their Strategic Co-ordination of the Serrated Tussock Battle Project in NSW in Colinton on Monday.

The project launch was held at “Prospect Hill” the property of Dennis and Sheila Mason of Colinton with the Minister of Primary Industries, Emergency Services and Rural Affairs, the Hon Steve Whan, speaking at the launch.

Mr Whan told the group that he was very aware of the problem of Serrated Tussock and is very pleased to see a co-ordinated project up and running and welcomed the initiatives that lead to the funding of the project.

Mitchell Clapham, Chairman of the Serrated Tussock Working Party (NSW and ACT) opened the launch and discussed the Project, which has been many years in the making. “Our biggest problem in the fight against Serrated Tussock, and weeds in general, is lack of awareness. Many lifestyle block owners don’t know what Tussock is and so don’t know what they’re looking at. Our aim is to promote awareness and to look at the long term focus on eradicating it.” The Project is aimed at creating links between the groups to highlight awareness.

National Chairman of the Management Group, Scott Chirnside spoke of the need to keep weeds at the forefront of people’s minds. “We need to educate people on the importance of managing their land. They need to understand that landowners are responsible for their own lands and must look to controlling weeds on their properties as it’s the only way

to contain and eradicate them.”

Luke Pope who also spoke at the launch stressed that Serrated Tussock is a community problem so it demands a community response. “Serrated Tussock continues to fill bare gaps in our landscape so ground cover is really important in preventing seeds from establishing themselves.” Luke also mentioned looking at non-chemical options but if using herbicides, look at those that will not kill off the good plants along with the bad.

Key areas on the agenda are to encourage people to keep clean (weed free) areas clean. To provide people with the means to control and eradicate weeds and to educate landowners on the best ways to manage and deal with weed outbreaks on their properties before they get out of control.

Farmers part of solution

“Building community consensus around climate change action is a reasonable proposition,” National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) President David Crombie observed of the Prime Minister’s Citizens’ Assembly announcement last Friday “But it will be absolutely critical regional Australia and farmers are centrally involved. We live and work with the climate every day, we’re good at managing carbon and we are part of the solution, not part of the problem.

“Further, building consensus domestically is only one piece of the jigsaw. Farmers will be asking about the Prime Minister’s plan for building international consensus, particularly around the approach to agriculture and the flawed international Kyoto rules.

That’s the real challenge. In reality, global agreement and clarity on what international governments are prepared to do together on climate change is vital.

“Until we have a global solution, Australia going it alone would be reckless and irresponsible. In that, there is already a clear consensus among Australians.”

Based on the policies put by Labor to date, the NFF says: · The NFF welcomed the amendments to the CPRS (e.g. removing agriculture’s direct emissions from the CPRS cap, providing an offset mechanism to reward abatement by farmers, additional R&D for agricultural mitigation measures, assistance for food processors to reduce emissions). · Despite the amendments to the CPRS bill, that removed a large portion of the risks facing farmers, the NFF has been of the view that the CPRS in its entirety would still lead to additional indirect costs for Australia farmers that outweigh the potential benefits for most farmers (particularly while the international carbon accounting rules remain as they are).

Happy birthday, Marilyn.

THANK YOU A big “Thank You” to the CWA Cooma Branch for donating $1,000 to the Dialysis Committee at the Cooma Hospital.

This money was raised by the hard work of the CWA Ladies at their Curry Luncheon some weeks ago.

A small gathering at the Dialysis Room at Cooma Hospital last Monday saw Barbara Scanes accepting the cheque from Kaye Anderson. Also present was Christa Hartlander, Greg Luton, Ralf Struthmann and Robin Mould. Chairperson Dugald Mitchell was absent owing to being in Scotland visiting relatives.

This money will be put to very good use by the committee as unfortunately the number of patients is growing rapidly.

ENJOYABLE TRIP Lilibeth Stephens, Joan Fogarty, Sue Griffin, Janneane Cahill and Bernadette Nater, members of the Monaro Art Group accompanied by Ros Roypetch have just returned from an interesting trip to Leros - a Greek Island and also Athens. Previous to visiting these sites four of

the group spent an interesting two days in Istanbul and afterwards two of the ladies travelled to Malta.

From all reports all the ladies found the various aspects of the trip inspirational and very memorable, they were very impressed with the ruins in Athens and the monuments and sculptures seen in Istanbul. From an artists view point Leros had much to offer being as old as it is.

Pleased you all enjoyed yourselves and are now home safe and sound.

INVITATION FOR THE LADIES Ladies are invited to attend a free online health information seminar on the evening of September 1 at 7.30pm at Snowy Mountains Christian School, Cooma.

Dr Effie says this is a very important seminar for ladies especially in their 40s and 50s as it deals with perimenopause problems.

Jean Hailes gynaecologist, Dr Elizabeth Farrell, Sexual Health Physician Dr Rosie King and Dr John D’Arcy will provide women with the latest evidence based information on the many health issues facing women in this age group.

Do not miss this excellent opportuniy – you will find it very interesting and of great help.

Red Devils 10-year reunion All you rugby union fans in the area, come and get your tickets for a great day of rugby, lunch, drinks and much more. Marcus Caldwell has organised a great day not only to celebrate 10 years since the Cooma Red Devils first grade side went through the competition undefeated, but to celebrate rugby in general and catch up with some old mates.

All bar one player has been contacted and have been invited to come and be part of the day. This day is not only for the players but anyone who enjoys ‘the game they play in heaven’.

The day will commence at 11.30am for a 12pm start in the Cooma Ex-Serviceman’s Club for a “Gentleman’s luncheon”, with guest speakers Owen Finnegan and David Pembroke from the ACT Brumbies, who are both appearing for free as long as there is some money donated to ‘Camp Quality’.

Next it will be down to Rotary Oval at 1pm to watch Cooma second grade take on Royals.

Once at Rotary Oval, there will be a marquee

with refreshments and nibbles available for the duration of all games and your partners are welcome. Throughout the day there will be fundraising for Camp Quality, so give generously.

At 1.30pm the first grade side from 2000, will present the 2010 first grade side with jumpers.

At 2.30pm there will be a veteran’s game – Cooma V The Vikings, then at 3pm the first grade game will commence, where the mighty Red Devils take on Royals.

When the local lads have finished playing at about 5.30pm everyone will once again make their way back up to the club to continue the celebrations and watch the Wallabies V The All Blacks Bledisloe Cup match.

Tickets for this event are available from Marcus Caldwell, you can call him on 0427 467 259 or drop into Campbell Page Cooma.

Tickets are $50 and this covers all the days’ events and a portion will be donated to Camp Quality. You must purchase your ticket by Friday June 30, for catering purposes.

Two talented young Interschools Snowsports athletes will be heading off to Canada in January with the inaugural Mountainwatch.com Interschools Snowsports Scholarships.

Wanting to support developing skiers and snowboarders, Mountainwatch. com created the scholarships, which in 2011 will send one skier and one snowboarder, selected from Interschools Snowsports Championships competitors, to Big White and Silver Star Mountain Resorts in British Columbia, Canada for two weeks training with the Interschools Canada and Australian Race Camps programmes.

“At Big White and Silver Star we’ve been involved in teaching and coaching Australian athletes on our ski slopes since 1985 and as the former Director of Skiing, I am delighted with our involvement in the scholarship,” says Jim Loyd, Director of Sales for Big White and Silver Star Ski Resorts, which are generously providing the training opportunities, including lift tickets and accommodation, Air Canada is providing the airfares.

“It’s wonderful to be able to give two deserving young athletes the opportunity to develop their talents through our world class programmes here in Canada Big White and Silver Star Ski Resorts,” Loyd says.

“The scholarships are a great opportunity to identify and support talented young snow sports athletes,” says Peter Topalovic, Head Coach of Ski and Snowboard Australia/ New South Wales Institute of Sport and the Australian Development Mogul Team, who will be on the scholarship selection committee.

“Mountainwatch.com is helping to contribute to the growth of our elite snow sports teams as the kids awarded these scholarships could

go on to perform at an elite level,” says Topalovic. “As a selector I will be looking for kids who best represent the qualities of athleticism, sportsmanship and potential,” says Topalovic.

The scholarships will be awarded to the athletes who exhibit strong potential but are not as yet a member of a national or state team or significantly sponsored. “New racers to the seasoned professionals enter the Interschools competition,” says Steve Cooper, Chairperson of the NSW Interschools Snowsports Management Committee, also a selection committee member. “Amongst the entries, there are many talented athletes who may not know that they have the potential to compete in competitions outside of Interschools.”

Cooper will be looking for competitors with the determination to improve their racing skills and with a competitor field of nearly 10 000 across regional, state and national levels in Victoria, NSW, ACT and South Australia there will be plenty of potential to choose from.

At regional level in NSW/ACT and state level in Victorian and South Australia, Interschools entry is unrestricted, meaning all kids with an enthusiasm for skiing or snowboarding can have a go. Most compete in a school team of four, which removes the pressure of individual competition, but sole competitors are also welcome to enter.

The selection committee, which will also include representatives from Interschools Victoria and Mountainwatch.com, will assess performances in all 2010 Interschools events. The two successful athletes will be announced at the final Australian Interschools Championships presentation at Perisher on September 12.

Ever dreamed of being a Detroit Red Wing or a Chicago Black Hawk?

Well, here is your chance to be a Jindy Jet or a Dalgety Demon!

Hockey novices and players alike aged 12-15 years old are invited to get a team of six together and join a new round-robin SuperGlide hockey comp at the SuperGlide Skating Rink, Jindabyne.

The Tuesday night comp will kick off (or is that puck off?) on August 10 and will run for six weeks.

The mixed comp will require six teams to commence and kids will play one 40-minute game each week with the first game starting at 4.30pm. A competition roster will be generated with dates and game times for team captains. Each team needs a fun name.

The games will be run along “pond rules” which means that there will be no goalie, no marked lines and no offside. The game will incorporate the use of a soft ball and players will need to wear a helmet and gloves. SuperGlide will supply the knee and elbow guards and the hockey sticks.

Interested players can drop down to the rink to collect a registration form or call Richard

Pembroke on 0419 222 357 for more details. The cost of the comp is $90 per child.

A sausage sizzle barbecue will be run on the night and adults can purchase drinks from the Jindabyne Bowling Club.

The SuperGlide Skating Rink, Jindabyne’s newest winter attraction, is located at the Jindabyne Bowling Club and is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 11am-8pm.

Sessions, which include skate hire, cost $10 for adult and $8 for children, with a family pass being offered for $30. Visitors can purchase hot chocolates and snacks at the rink.

The 220 square metre rink features an amazing ice-like surface called Super-Glide that is used extensively throughout Canada and the USA by figure skaters and ice hockey players for displays, training and competitions.

Firsts satisfying win over Easts Cooma Red Devils Firsts travelled to Canberra last Saturday to take on Easts.

After two narrow losses away, the boys were keen for a win.

Cooma started well with great defence, particualrly on the edge of the rucks and strong running by centre Ryan Morgan had Cooma on the front foot.

A well-worked move on the blind had winger Zeb Learoyd in for the first try. To lead 5-0.

Easts hit back with a pently – Cooma 5-3.

A nice break by fullback Sam Zumba Bacigalup and good support from Matt Lee had Cooma hard on attack.

Sustained pressure led to a try to Ned Jeffries, which was converted – Cooma 12-3.

A late penalty to Easts had the halftime score 12-6.

Both teams attacked the line in the second half with Cooma looking like scoring on a number of occasions but unable to do so.

Easts, needing a converted try to win, threw everything at Cooma who refused to buckle. A credit to the Cooma boys’ defence, they kept their tryline intact with Easts only managing two penaty goals. Final score – Cooma 12 – Easts 6.

Three points went to Ryan Morgan, two Dan Jeffcoate, one Matt Gibbs and Curtis Watkins.

Players’ player – Leighton Bates.

Reserves 27-7 loss The Red Devils Reserves also played Easts away.

Losing by only one point in the first round, the Reserves were keen to turn the tables.

Easts started strongly, scoring a couple of tries early.

JASON ROUND 21 This stung the Cooma boys into action. Still getting over their loss in the World Cup, the Schouten boys combined brilliantly to score a long range try.

Easts led 20-7 at the break.

The second half was much better for Cooma, with Easts eventaully scoring a try and Cooma attacking strongly on many occasions. Final score – 27 -7.

Three points went to Marty Mankobasic, two Neil Schouten, one Ben Schouten. Players’ player – Marty Markobasic.

This Saturday, Cooma plays ADFA at Rotary Oval – Reserves 1pm, Firsts 2.30pm.

Junior Red Devils matches Under 12s The three week break in play really showed this week when the under 12’s played the competition leaders Tuggeranong Vikings in Canberra on Saturday. The Vikings are undefeated and have only had 12 points scored against them all season, by the one team, so Cooma had a hard match ahead.

Vikings were off to a flying start and the score was 22 nil in the first 14 minutes.

The holiday doldrums appeared to have set in for the Cooma boys, so they were given a big rev up by the coach. This seemed to work and they got going. The boys didn’t seem to get in the Vikings faces early enough and therefore no momentum and no tries.

The Vikings scored again late in the first half to take the score to 29-0 at half time.

The second half of the game the Cooma team were a different bunch of boys and only conceded one try the entire second half. Charlie Allen played a blinder of a game, being one of the smallest players on the team he was non stop all game giving his all. Blake Rixon, another one of the small boys also played a great hard game against this well drilled team. Isaac Singh has really stepped up and played a fantastic game getting involved and playing very well all game.

After a really impressive second half the Red Devils went down 34-0. It’s extremely difficult to get the team organised when you are expecting an unknown quantity of players to show up for the game on the day. If you are unable to come to the game let Chris know ASAP, same goes for training. Points this week were awarded to ; 3 Charlie Allen, 2 Blake Rixon, 1 Isaac Singh.

Next week sees them take on the second placed team Uni Norths in

The Monaro Post 37 Sport NRL footy competition

Canberra. Training this week will be at Rotary Oval form 4pm till 6pm, if you can’t make it let Chris know.

Under 14 lose 14-12 to Uni Norths The Cooma Rural Devils Under 14s faced competition leaders Uni Norths at Lyneham on Saturday in their first competition game after the long school holiday break.

The Cooma forwards took some time to clear the cobwebs from their rucking and mauling and the resulting glut of possession for Uni Norths allowed them to score a pushover try and convert it in the first few minutes.

No doubt expecting another easy win, the undefeated home team received a rude shock when Cooma captain Jack Williams produced a text book kick and chase which allowed him to score close to the posts and convert his own try.

With the score locked at 7 all Uni Norths stepped up a gear and both sides engaged in a titanic struggle for most of the remainder of the game, with neither team able to establish dominance over the other.

The Cooma boys let several opportunities go begging and eventually it was Uni Norths who broke the deadlock by scoring another converted try late in the second half.

Cooma responded by producing a couple of well drilled passages of attacking play which eventually put Jack Rudd over in the corner but the angle was too great for the shot at goal and Cooma’s opponents won narrowly, 14 -12.

The Devils’ loss of fullback Matthew Moxon to injury in a “friendly” game during the break necessitated some position changes.

Matthew Kelly showed a cool head and

plenty of ball skills as the new full back while Luke Johnson performed stepped into the breach as the new scrum half.

Tries; Jack Williams, Jack Rudd.

Conversion- Jack Williams.

Under 10s Last Saturday the Cooma Red Devils Under 10’s side who are second on the ladder took on the Jindabyne Piglets, who are coming first and are undefeated.

Cooma started off well and scored within minutes of the kick off, much to the surprise of Jindabyne. Jindabyne answered quickly and converted their try taking the lead a few minutes later. This is how the game progressed for much of the first half.

The second half saw Jindabyne run away with a couple of tries giving them the win of 27-15. The Red Devils were let down by their defence and failure to chase the opposition. This is reflected by their attitude at training, compared to the welldisciplined Jindabyne side.

Jindabyne are our biggest rivals and if you want to meet up with them in the grand final and win you will need to pick up your game and listen to the coach at training.

Joe Rossiter made a great break and ran the ball most of the way down the field before running out of puff and being caught by Jindabyne and not having any back up by his own team.

Joe played a great attacking game as did Dylan Van Gemert, Paddy Evans and Sam Larritt.

Points this week went to; 3 Joe Rossiter, 2 Dylan Van Gemert, 1 Broc Allen.

Tigers under 18s 2-0 win It was a cool and calm afternoon at Wanniassa oval, where Cooma under 18 Tigers faced off Tuggeranong’s Mighty Ducks.

The game started at a fair tempo, with possession changing a number of times without any real shots fired at either goal. In the fourth minute the Tigers broke through the centre, with the ball finding Kevin Smith who lobbed a nice pass to Cam Mackintosh at the right hand edge of the six yard box. Cam managed to lob it back over the Tuggeranong goalkeeper’s head into the net giving, Cooma a one nil lead.

The game moved back and forth, with Cooma dominating the midfield, however the score remained one-nil at the break.

The second half started with Tuggeranong charging forward with much more determination, trying to find an equaliser. However, the Tigers defence, backed up by Cody Nash in goals, kept the slate

clean for the Tigers.

In the 55th minute Jacob Millington placed a beautiful free-kick deep into the Ducks’ six yard box, and, unfortunately for the Ducks their defender, in an attempt to clear the ball with a header, placed it straight into the back of their net giving Cooma a two-nil lead.

In the 70th minute Cooma goalkeeper Cody Nash managed a magnificent save from a Tuggeranong free kick, which was heading deceivingly towards the mid right corner of the Tigers goal; a touch of acrobatics found Cody in the air slapping the ball out.

Full credit goes to both teams and the referee Mr Chris Millington for a game well played and controlled in the true spirit of good sportsmanship making it very enjoyable to watch. Final result: Cooma Tigers 2 – 0 Tuggeranong Mighty Ducks.

Premier Tigers 5- Goulburn 0 The Tigers were waiting for the opportunity this week to vindicate their name as unbeatable at Nijong after an unfortunate and unfair home loss last week.

The extra work at training on Tuesday and Thursday paid off early in the game, and the trio of Goran, Jair and Marcial worked perfectly in the first six minutes.

Munoz opened the scoring with the first of five goals for Cooma.

Goulburn did not have the sufficient answers to stop the methodical Tigers, who were outstanding in both attack and defence.

In the 31st minute Jair received a yellow card after stopping the ball with his hand. Soon after the incident Serdan would score one of his two goals of the game.

On this occasion Marcial came in from the middle and passed to Jair on the right, who then crossed the ball early and facilitated the second goal for Cooma.

In the 38th minute in a short play, Marcial passed the ball to Adrien who struck the ball from the third quarter of the field, beyond the

short reach of the keeper and into the top angle.

In the 43rd minute Striker #17, came out of the game injured and in an ambulance.

In the 65th minute a corner in Cooma’s favour, taken by Marcial, was directed to the near post to find Adrien #5 who scored his second of the night with a mighty header.

In the 70th minute Jamie substituted Jair, while in the 71st minute Adrien passed an aerial ball above the defending wall to Serdan #9 who controlled the ball with the chest.

As the ball was coming down he struck it from the left and beat the Goulburn goal-keeper for the fifth time in this memorable afternoon.

This victory maintains Cooma in third place, with Canberra City on equal points but seven goals behind in goal difference.

Our wishes for prompt recuperation go to the player from Goulburn who left Cooma injured.

Shooters take aim at the Cooma rifle range last Saturday.

Cooma Rifle Club Seven shooters turned up on a foggy morning last Saturday to compete for the last heat of the July spoon competition from 500 yards.

Initially conditions were windless and scores were good but then a flucky northerly blew up which changed later to a tricky variable southerly.

Still the shooters recorded some good scores with Damien Dolye shooting a possible 50/50 in his second stage and Noel Barrett a 49.

The off rifle scores were: 1 Damien Doyle 48.6

and 50.3 total 98.9, Noel Barrett 47.0 and 49.1 total 96.1, Don Robb 47.3 and 46.2 total 93.5, Roger Avis 46.3 and 47.2 total 93.5, Frank Toth 48.3 and 45.2 total 93.5, Graeme Crundwell 43.2 and 43.0 total 86.2, Brain Bradley 41.0 and 37.0 total 778.0.

by J. Catt.

The next try went to Dirk Wilkins with the forwards mauling the ball over the line after a good line out win from captain Matt fish, Catt converted to make the score 14-0.

The Bushpigs continued to dominate their opposition finding holes in their defensive line and on the rare occasion they had to defend they were rock solid, with this good defence it allowed for good field position.

Hooker Daniel Josifovski was next to score, after Jindabynes elder statesmen Andrew Burke offloaded to Josifovski who had to run ten metres to score near the posts.

The Bushpigs secured their four try bonus point with a try to shortland, who was put in a hole by his centre partner Gilkson, Catt converted.

Finally the Vikings had the ball in good field position, attacking the Bushpigs line only to be held out by some determined defence from the home side. With the Vikings attacking the line Josifovski stole the ball, scrum half Catt passed the ball to

Caldwell inside the in goal area, where he took off down the field where he found Ryan Mugridge in support who drew the full back in and passed back to Caldwell who scored under the posts. Catt converted.

After the half time break the Bushpigs lost none of their intensity and continued on their scoring spree, the first try of the half went to Gilkson who ran straight and hard through the defensive line to score near the posts.

Substitute centre Tommy Pinces was the next to score, who also ran straight through the defensive and over the fullback to score.

From the kick off Jindabyne turned the ball over which allowed Tuggeranong the rare opportunity to attack the Bushpigs line only to knock the ball on, off the scrum the home team made some good metres, Flanker James Lloyd found himself in a hole and ran 70 metres to score near the posts, Catt converted.

Pinces shortly after scored his second try of the game when he yet again found a hole in the defensive line, the final try of the game went to Substitute prop Nelson Mcfee who scored from a metre out to get himself a well deserved try.

The Cooma Tigers state league four side made the long trip to Kaleen on Saturday to take on the O’Connor Knights. Still hurting from their last meeting, a depleted Tigers outfit took the field with just the bare 11.

Disaster struck within the first five minutes, however, when Callum Patterson, dropping down from the Pathways side to help out, rolled his ankle quite badly. With Callum unable to continue, and no substitutes to call on, the Tigers braced themselves for a tough day at the office.

Despite the half-time score of 4-1, Cooma had a lot to be proud about.

Ovi Boaru, in his last game for this season, scored a typically predatory goal and had several other chances to trouble the scoresheet. Keegan Staff and Steven Flowers, also on loan from Pathways, were proving their class, and grizzled veteran David Elliott was showing up some of his younger opposition with tricks and flicks straight from the World Cup. Cooma really took the game to the Knights in the second half, and produced some dazzling passages of play. On another day, and with a

bit more luck, the scores could have been level. Dave Elliott hit the post, Dave D’Amico volleyed a difficult chance over the bar, and both Staff and Boaru failed to convert one-onone opportunities. Keegan eventually got on the scoresheet, with a well taken goal from a fantastic Flowers through-ball.

In the end, the 6-2 scoreline wasn’t indicative of Cooma’s dominance through much of the game. Mark Burke once again shone in midfield, and Michael Corcoran battled on through injury to put in his usual top-notch performance.

Michael Warren, returning from injury, put in a commanding performance between the sticks.

Coach Damian Knight said “I have to commend the 10 guys out there on the field today; they put in a super-human effort in difficult circumstances. We should have a full side again next week, and Lanyon had better watch out, because we are determined that the losing stops here!”

Best on field: Mark Burke, Keegan Staff, Dave D’Amico

Under 15 The Colts travelled to Nicholls to take on the Gungahlin Bulls on Sunday.

With only 12 players the game was going to be tough in unusually warm conditions. The boys started confidently, but a bit of scrappy play in dropped balls and moves just not going to plan meant the boys had to work hard.

The bulls scored two quick tries until Zane Weston scored a great try in the corner, Joel Smith kicked a superb kick to take the score to 6 points to 10.

Great defensive work from Michael Watsford, Eric Conley, Joel Smith and Zane Weston couldn’t stop the bulls from scoring two more tries.

However, captain Jacob Moon had enough determination to strike back adding another four points for the colts and Harry Roach converted. The half time score read 20 points to 12. Although the boys were feeling the effects of no bench players, they kept their heads up, Blayne Thomas was unlucky not to score and combined well in attack with Blake Jones and Blake Byrne.

The bulls took three more tries early in the second half and Dudey Moon scored another brilliant try and Harry Roach capped off the game with another superb try and added a successful conversion. Jack Downie and Ned McDonnell had their jobs cut out for them out wide and played strong solid games The final score read 42 points to 22 in favour of the Bulls.

SuperCats big win over Belconnen

Hill wins on Saturday Cooma golf with Max Turner

SuperCat McGrath had a strong game on Saturday.

The Snowy SuperCats Under14 AFL side had its biggest win on record when they defeated Belconnen at Snowy Oval on Saturday.

The final score was SuperCats 23-20-158 to Belconnen 0.

SuperCats’ coach Marty Currie paid tribute to his players’ tenacity from start to finish in what was a dominating display of junior football in Cooma.

The SuperCats took control of the match from the opening bounce and were never troubled by the under strength Belconnen side.

One of the pleasing features of the game was the way the SuperCats never took the pressure off and played the game hard right through to the final siren.

This was a key aspect of the SuperCats game plan as they prepare to take on competition leaders the Tuggeranong Hawks next week. The Hawks narrowly defeated the SuperCats in an epic encounter at Snowy Oval when they met earlier in the year.

While all Snowy SuperCats players put in excellent performances, there were a number worthy of special mention for their efforts. These were: Brad Dunstan, Ben Trotter, Jake Clarke and Brandon Williams at centre-half-forward.

Features of the SuperCats’ game was their protection of the player with the ball through effective shepherding, their desire to be first to the ball, and their general teamwork.

Another great aspect for all concerned at the club was the SuperCats display of sportsmanship in a game they dominated. While easily accounting for their opposition, they at all times showed total respect and admiration for their opposition’s efforts on the day.

Coach Currie also praised the strong local support at Snowy Oval which was a real boost to the side.

The Snowy SuperCats train on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and everyone is welcome to come down and get involved in the club

Outmanned - the SuperCats were gallant in their 158 point victory.

Frezza and D’Amico take minor pairs Mario Frezza and Giulio D’Amico have won the Cooma Bowling Club’s minor pairs championship with a dominating performance in the final played on Saturday.

On another beautiful winter’s day they were joined on the greens by very pleasing numbers playing social bowls as well as in the mixed and handicap pairs championships.

Frezza and D’Amico had a dream start in their final against Xin and Col Cottam when they picked up five shots on the very first end.

The Cottams steadied to win the next two ends to trail 5- 3. However, that was as close as they were to get.

Frezza and D’Amico won nine of the next 10 ends to set up a match winning lead of 22 – 4. Xin and Col did better over the next section of the game but the lead set up by Frezza and D’Amico was too great to counter.

The final score was a clear cut and well deserved 30 – 13 win to Frezza and D’Amico.

In another dominant display Cathy and Tony Gray proved too good on the day for Sue and Dennis Sellars in the mixed pairs. Once again the damage was done in the early ends of the game. After just 7 ends The Grays had a 17 – 1 lead. While the Sellars won nine of the next 13 ends they made only a small indentation on the margin. Critically, Cathy and Tony scored four shots on three of the four ends that they won in this period to cement their lead. The final score was 30 – 17.

The one match played in the handicap pairs was a much closer affair.

The match between Keith Goodwin and Geoff Venables and Don Jarvis and Jack Sajina was not decided until the last couple of ends. The first half of the game was very close with the two sides sharing the ends in a low scoring game. After 13 ends Goodwin and Venables held a narrow lead of 9 -8.

Goodwin and Venables had the better of the next eight ends and looked set for a comfortable win when they moved to a 20 – 12 advantage. Jarvis and Sajina struck back and with just two ends to go they cut the lead to 20 – 17. Goodwin and Venables were able to win the last to ends to take the game 25 – 17.

Cats in great display at Snowy Oval It was a game many expected the Cooma Cats to easily surrender, but despite going down to premiership contenders Yass on Saturday the local boys put in an effort described as their best for the season in a great display of Australian Rules football at Snowy Oval.

And while the final score did blow out in the last 15 minutes of the match to Cooma 10-6-66 to Yass 16-7103, the Cats put in a performance for three and a half quarters which said a lot about the team which gave its all in a tough, physical but fair encounter.

Going into the final quarter, the Cats trailed the much fancied Roos by a solitary point after three quarters of quality football which pleased the home and visiting supporters alike.

The Yass side started the game as the Cats expected – fast, tough and ready to stamp their authority on the game. Continuing from where they left off in the first round encounter in Yass, the Roos used their physical strength to try and quickly take control over their smaller Cooma opposition and a repeat of the first round game seemed on the cards.

But the Cats hit back, taking the physical approach straight back up to the Roos who were taken aback

by Cooma’s response and gave away some silly free kicks as their frustration got the better of them.

Full-forward Tony Fleming was the first to take advantage of the situation for the Cats, receiving a good pass from one of Cooma’s best – Rob Brown – and converting the opportunity. He was quickly followed by Cats’ ruckman Shaun Allen who kicked a massive goal from the well outside the 50 metre arc.

The Cats went into the first break leading by three points. The game continued at a fast, furious and skillful pace through the second quarter with the Cooma backs – led as always by Jimmy Russell – fighting off constant Yass attacks in a terrific display of determination. Russell was well supported by fellow backs Mal Brown, Dave Maxwell, and Greg Abrahamfy.

Cats’ assistant coach Luke Barrett was also

impressive in the second quarter adding some much needed size and strength to help nullify the Roos’ big men.

With the Cooma backs clearing the ball from defence, the Cats’ wingers Mick Johnston and Johnny Curry worked hard to take it forward into attack. Mick Johnston easily played his best half of football this season with an outstanding display of speed and skills.

The Cats went into the half-time break down by seven points and the buzz around Snowy Oval was electric.

The third quarter was one of great intensity and probably one of the best quarters of AFL football to be seen in Cooma for a long time. It was hard. It was tough. It was skillful. Regardless of who you supported, it was just great football to watch.

A number of key Cats’ players really stood out: Captain Daniel Bourke was inspirational in the centre, supported by Dave Clyde until he went off injured; Rob Brown again provided wonderful leadership and motivation all day; Corey Tucker, who despite a heavy knock in the first quarter, showed true grit and courage to stay on the field and make a valuable contribution; and Shaun Allen in the ruck who battled himself to a stand-still.

And in one of the highlights of the day, Cats’ specialist forward pocket Mark Macklan kicked a sensational career first goal after scooping on the ball from a pack and belting it between the big sticks in a goal which will be talked about for some time to come.

The entire team rushed down to celebrate Macca’s drought breaking goal in a great display of the Cooma Cats’ club culture – playing footy for the pure love of the great Australian game. The score at three-quarter time was Cooma 9-5-59 to Yass 9-6-60.

While the passion and desire were certainly there going into the final quarter, unfortunately the Cats’ legs were not. Having given their all in the first three quarters, the Cooma boys were physically spent and soon the premiership contenders from Yass managed to break the Cats’ shackles and run out comfortable 37 point winners.

Despite not getting the win, the Cats’ supporters clapped the team from the field and Coach Damien Asanovski described the performance as their best for the season.

Stallions reserves whitewash Merimbula Cooma Stallions Rugby League Club hosted Merimbula-Pambula in Under 18s and Reserves last Sunday.

In bright winter conditions, Cooma completely outclassed the depleted South Coast side, running up a big 54-nil score.

The Cooma defence was a feature of the game with Merimbula-Pambula mounting several strong raids inside the 20m zone only to be continually repelled by some two and three defenders working hard in tackles.

By halftime Cooma had a dominant 2-nil lead but was still not playing as well as expected.

The second half started much better with completion rates and general play a feature.

The Cooma forwards were paving the way with Issa, Elton, Dietrich and Jakins excelling while five-eighth Kaufline sparked up the backline.

Several first graders (not having a game) filled in and all gave strong displays.

Merimbula-Pambula, to their credit, never stopped trying right up to the full time, even when down to 11 men late in the game.

Cooma was well served by a number of players: forwards Issa, Winter, Boller and Elton as well as backs Kaufline, Robinson and Schofield stood out while wirey young gun Dietrich improves with every game.

Under 18s lost momentum Cooma faced the top coastal side, Merimbula-Pambula Bulldogs who now look to be Group 16 favourites for the junior title.

The game was very tight for the majority of the first half and both sides retreated to the change sheds locked up at 12-all.

Cooma certainly did not help their cause, continually losing the ball on the attack and generally not getting the bounce of the ball on a lot of kicks.

The second half saw the Bulldogs gain the upper hand late in the game, to lead 28 points to 12 before Cooma made a late come-back to push the final score to 28-22 in favour of the Dogs.

Cooma was best served by Clarke, Stores and Jackson, while Williams and Learoyd were good in the backs.

Under 15s put it to Rabbitohs In a very entertaining game before the Under 18s fixture, the South Sydney Under 15 squad played their annual game against the Group 16 squad.

The crowd was entertained by an exciting spectacle – the final score in favour of the city side 30 points to 26.
