knuckledusters – he was sentenced to one month’s gaol for each of these offences. Police also found $4026 in cash at his house.

The future of Cooma A meeting has been called for tomorrow night to discuss Cooma’s future. The meeting is the result of a Facebook post last Wednesday by Jason Gardiner, who is new to town and can’t understand why there are so many empty shops and a dearth of job opportunities. Jason, from Melbourne, has experience in warehouse despatch and engineering, but can’t find work in those fields in Cooma. His comments on Facebook, about Cooma looking like it is dying, promoted immediate response from other Cooma locals who share his views.

The upshot of many posts on Facebook is a meeting at Cooma Ex-Services Club at 7pm tomorrow night. Jason would like to see anyone interested in the future of the town come along, including local councillors. However, he does not want the meeting to develop into just a ‘council-bashing’ exercise.

The Cooma Universities Centre (CUC) was one of three local organisations fortunate enough to receive a grant in January this year from regional telecommunications provider, Southern Phones. Southern Phones is owned by 41 local councils, each of whom has an equal shareholding, is currently the second largest home phone provider in regional Australia. The generous donation of $5,000 went towards purchasing technological resources for students studying at the CUC. A laptop purchased for the centre has enabled tutors to utilise the data projector and interactive whiteboard in the main lecture room, as well as allowing students studying at the centre to utilise the private tutorial rooms to link up with their host university lecturers via Skype interviews. Ten iPad mini’s were also purchased for the centre, specifically to assist the new cohort of students who are studying the Bachelor of Education degree being offered at the CUC. Students utilise the iPads on Wi-Fi at the centre to access online course materials, as well as during

Centenary of Anzac honoured in style The Monaro region excelled itself in commemorating the Centenary of Anzac last Saturday. In Cooma a crowd of about 2000 people attended the Dawn Service, which was marked by the bagpipes played by Ty Fallin. The morning service, augmented by a flyover of Navy helicopters, attracted more than twice that number of people, with the parade itself swelled by a good number of students from local schools and representatives of all local emergency services. As usual Kokoda Company was in Cooma in force to be part of the ceremonies. Horses were a feature of the Jindabyne services, as were members and past members of HMAS Albatross. About 80 sailors were present for the ceremony, as well as Navy cadets from SS Orion. Delegate held its first ever dawn Service, with about 150 people turning out. Delegate was the starting point for the Men from Snowy River March in January 1916 – Saturday’s response to Anzac Day is a good indicator of the support for the centenary of the march. In Adaminaby, veteran horsewoman Daphne Bell led the parade from horseback, carrying the Australian flag. After the service, two honour rolls, previously displayed in the Presbyterian Church, were rehung in the School of Arts Hall. The Nimmitabel march was led by a drummer, with the Pony Club adding an equine element as well. Bombala had two ceremonies – the first on Friday when the new monument “Dignity and Strength� was opened. This monument features one large carved rock surrounded by 33 others, all representing the diggers who fought in WW1 and did not return. On Saturday, the Bombala march was led by a piper and a drummer and featured a special 100th anniversary monument made from poppies.

This featured a temporary memorial made out of wood by a local resident, Mr White. The plaque will be repositioned on to a stone memorial in the near future. The memorial currently lists over 50 names of residents of the Michelago region who served in the First World War. Perhaps the most spectacular ceremony was held at Bradleys Hut, where 180 people, 30-odd on horseback, greeted the dawn.

Little Paris Bookshop

One Summer in Venice

On a beautifully restored barge on the Seine, Jean Perdu runs a bookshop; or rather a 'literary apothecary', for this bookseller possesses a rare gift for sensing which books will soothe the troubled souls of his customers. The only person he is unable to cure, it seems, is himself. He has nursed a broken heart ever since the night, twenty-one years ago, when the love of his life fled Paris, leaving behind a handwritten letter that he has never dared read. His memories and his love have been gathering dust - until now. The arrival of an enigmatic new neighbour in his eccentric apartment building on Rue Montagnard inspires Jean to unlock his heart, unmoor the floating bookshop and set off for Provence, in search of the past and his beloved.

Addolorata Martinelli knows she should be happy. She has everything she thought she wanted - her own business, a husband, a child. So why does she feel as if something is missing? Then when her restaurant, Little Italy, is slated by a reviewer, she realises that she's lost the one thing she thought she could always count on, her love of food. So Addolorata heads to Venice for a summer alone, aiming to find the ten things that make her happy. Once she's found them, she'll construct a new life around her ten things, but will they include her life in London?

Human remains discovered A gravesite at Gegedzerick cemetery, Berridale, became a crime scene last week. Preparations for a burial were interrupted when unknown human remains were found at the site. The remains were recovered and sent away for analysis. Unfortunately, the grave could not be used for its intended

recipient at least until forensic examinations are completed. A young male was arrested on Saturday after he resisted arrest and refused to leave licensed premises in Cooma when asked. He will appear in Cooma Local Court at a later date.

Music inspired by the Snowy Mountains Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen are in town for their upcoming performance at Concert Cosmopolitana on Saturday May 2. The concert event is an opportunity to celebrate Big hART and South East Arts’ Project Cosmopolitana so far. With music, story telling, food and performances, the night is jam-packed full of fun for the community to enjoy for free. The band will be starring in the upcoming Ghosts in the Scheme production, which is set to hit the Canberra Theatre stage in September. Mikelangelo and the Gentlemen have been working on this project for the last 18 months. Collaborating with the locals, they have been busy writing and creating songs that reflect the community and the history of the Snowy Scheme. “We’d like to thank the community for their generosity with their time and their stories,”

says Mikelangelo, Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen are gearing up for their “It has been performance at Concert Cosmopolitana this Saturday. wonderful to take inspiration from the local people and the local landscape to help us tell some of the stories through our music.” The process has been a collaborative one, with the band really enjoying the intergenerational aspects. “We have been speaking with many people who actually worked on the Snowy Sea Gentlemen have been band performs.

ANZAC DAY I was away from the Shire on the weekend and attended the Melbourne city Anzac Day Dawn Service which was a very memorable day for me. Many staff and Councillors attended services around the Shire and have advised that this year was possibly the biggest crowd attendance on record. In particular, the attendance at the Dawn Service in Jindabyne and the March and Service in Berridale was said to have exceeded expectations. This was a most fitting way for our community to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the Anzacs landing in Gallipoli. This year also marked the 20th anniversary of the Royal Australian Navy’s contribution and involvement in the Snowy Mountains. This was also acknowledged at the services held in Jindabyne and at a luncheon wherein Council presented a plaque to honour their service and dedication to the Snowy Mountains community.

St Andrew’s Uniting Church in Cooma has stood since 1882. The present organ was built in 1969 and overhauled extensively eight years ago. Recently the organ received a visit from an accomplished organist, Anthony Hahn, who enjoyed playing the instrument so much he agreed to return to give a recital this Sunday 3 May from 2:00pm. Anthony is Cathedral Organist at St Paul’s Anglican Cathedral in Sale, Victoria. For the performance he will be joined by his sister Narelle on trumpet and by local musician Rowena Evans on recorder (Rowena describes herself as being one of the few people who continued to play the instrument after learning in infants school).

Between the three of them they will perform a rich program of music from Bach and Handel through to Botsford’s popular rag-time piece “Black and White Rag” (which has been adapted for organ by Anthony himself). A particularly beautiful piece in the program is Morricone’s Gabriel’s Oboe which will sound delicious on organ and trumpet in the acoustics of the lovely church. Tickets cost $20 for adults, $15 for concessions, $10 for Snowy Monaro Arts Council members, and students and children are free. Tickets are at The Fabric Salon and will be available at the door before the recital. Afternoon tea will follow the recital affording the opportunity to chat with the musicians.

Eucumbene Trout Farm to build farm stay cabin A development application for a farm stay cabin to be built at Eucumbene Trout Farm was approved by the Snowy River Shire Delivery and Operations Committee on Tuesday 14th April. The 50sqm timber cabin will be located on a hill facing north-east for a view of the farm and of Stony Lake. The modern cabin, estimated to cost just under $45,000, will be constructed from sustainable materials, notably wood cladding with zincalume roof colouring to blend into the location. Sleeping four to six people, the accommodation will allow guests to be involved in the daily operation of the trout farm as much or as little as they would like. Since being established in the early 70s, the Eucumbene Trout Farm has

been a great regional asset, and an excellent tourist attraction. There are 22 trout farms across NSW, however Eucumbene is one of only two that are open to the public. In recent years, the farm’s visitor numbers are significantly increasing. In 2012-2013 there were just over 2,500 visitors, 4,013 people came to the farm in 2013-2014 and with over 2,000 visitors so far in 2015 numbers are expected to climb even higher. The building of the farm stay cabin is aimed at achieving long term sustainability, encouraging more visitors to the farm. The success of the farm means tourists will spend longer in the area, increasing tourism and employment opportunities across the region.

Fashion with Flair in Jindabyne

This was one of the many stylish ensembles modelled in the OP Shop Collection at the Youth Week Fashion Parade.

There was plenty of fashion with flair at very affordable prices amongst the recycled garments paraded by students from Jindabyne Central School, Snowy Mountains Grammar School and Shire Councillors Wallace and Beer on the cat walk at the Op Shop at Jindabyne’s Uniting Church Hall last week. The garments modelled included business, leisure and sporting attire, plus stunning cocktail and evening wear. The well attended Fashion Parade was part of the Youth Week activities. It was a fundraiser for the Snowy Youth Council.

Ricky Salvestro About me:

50 SHADES OF

Fabulous

I am a 44 years old builder who was born and bred in Cooma. My father moved to Cooma with his family from Italy when he was just 13 years of age and later worked on the Snowy Scheme. I went to primary school at Cooma North Public and later attended St Patricks and Monaro High School. I completed my apprenticeship with my father as a carpenter and I worked with my father for many years after that. I now have my own business “Salvestro Developments”. I too have been touched by cancer. In November 2013, despite that fact that I have never been a smoker, I was diagnosed with two forms of mouth cancer. I was admitted to Westmead Hospital in Sydney so they could remove up to half of the right side of my tongue and for a right neck dissection to remove all of my lymph glands. Following my surgery I suffered complications which resulted in severe blood loss. I was placed on life support for 5 days, where I nearly lost my life, if not for some amazing surgeons. I spent the remainder of January 2014 in Westmead Hospital. When I was discharged I was scared to leave the sanctuary of the hospital. To my amazement the best care I received was home here in Cooma. The Cooma Community Health Nurses were a saviour to me. They visited me daily, changed my dressings and gave me strength and advice. These ladies deserve special recognition in my recovery. I like many others, really didn’t know what a wonderful service we have right here in Cooma. Today I continue to be monitored by my doctors in Sydney but concentrate on my health and am grateful for a second chance at life. I do realise however that there are so many out there that are much worse of then me.

Why I am participating in Strictly Musical:

MCCR is an amazing organisation that helps our community support local people like me in the time of need. You never know who will need their help. I am honoured to be part of “Strictly Musical” so that I too can help give back to the community and support this great organisation.

Craig Mitchell About me:

My wife, Susan, and I own and manage a 10,000 DSE merino sheep property 30km east of Cooma. We produce 16 – 18 micron wool, verging on an Italian “type” (wool talk), which is sold predominantly into China. We have three adult (just) children who are currently working or studying in Sydney. I also spend two days a week helping to manage a wool, lamb and beef enterprise south of Bombala. I have been a Councilor on the Cooma Monaro Shire Council for the past two and a half years. My “main” areas of responsibilities are; The Arts, The Saleyards, Weeds, Koalas and a whole lot more…

Why I am participating in Strictly Musical:

Like many others, I have lost family and friends to cancer. I am very aware of what a difference the MCCR makes to local people who suffer from cancer, and so am willing to participate in strictly musical to help fundraise for this great organization. I also am very happy to show off my great dance skills on the stage!

Anthony Marshall About Me :

I moved from Brisbane fourteen years ago not knowing that I would soon fall in love with the region, the people and the incredible sense of community the district has. Along the way I have had the privilege to meet some truly amazing people and raise a wonderful family here on the Monaro.

Why I am participating in strictly musical:

I think it is a great opportunity to raise much needed money to fund some truly great quality of life improvements for not only the amazingly brave people battling cancer but also their loved ones. Cancer is a non-discriminate disease that unfortunately will affect everyone in some form during their lives so any chance to reduce the stress the disease causes is a great initiative to be involved in.

Michael Scott Lees About Me:

I’m 52 years of age, I grew up in Sydney and moved out of the city as soon as I could. I’ve travelled all over Australia on photographic adventures and have also shot in Africa, Canada, North America, South America, the UK, Antarctica, New Zealand, The Philippines, Fiji and Vanuatu… lets just say I like to travel. Having said that, there really is no place like home and I think we live in the best place in the world, the Snowy Mountains. And being a landscape photographer makes the Snowy Mountains the best place period! I am surrounded by talented, beautiful women, in my wife Steph and daughters Sasha and Measjaya, who constantly inspire and make me laugh. In my heart always is our daughter Marley who gave us the gift in her short life of ensuring we making every moment count. I try to live my life in a way that allows me to “Explore, Dream and Discover” and whilst I’m naturally pretty shy, I also probably have a cheeky streak that likes to be a bit of a larrikin and have some fun.

Why I am participating in Strictly Musical:

I’m participating in Strictly Musical because I lost my Dad in recent years to cancer and his father, my Pa, before him. My wife Steph, also lost her Mum and Dad to cancer when she was just a child and I want to do something that helps beat this insidious disease, break the cycle and help those locally, facing their own personal battle. I’m also doing this because, as an artist and a creative person, never having done any “performing” arts, I’m keen to see what magic our team can come up with and see if I really do have two left feet!

Heath Woolley About Me: Husband, dad, sports nut! Why I am participating in Strictly Musical: To support a great community event and assist in fundraising for the outstanding work completed by MCCR. Also to have fun and meet new friends.

Students challenged to carry on Anzac spirit Students at Jindabyne Central School (JCS) have been challenged to carry on the spirit of the Anzacs by being the best they can be. Retired Warrant Officer Paul Corcoran addressed all 700 JCS students at the school’s Anzac Day service on Wednesday to mark the 100th anniversary of Australian and New Zealand soldiers landing at Gallipoli. In an emotioncharged address, Mr Corcoran told children about the sacrifice made by all those who fought at Gallipoli and those who have served

in Australia’s defence forces. He said all Australians were indebted to the men and women who fought, endured, suffered and died for their country. “Their sacrifices gave us the invincible spirit of the Anzac,� said Mr Corcoran, who was a marine technician in the Royal Australian Navy. He said Anzac Day was the story of Australia’s courage and a time to remember the contribution of all who have served Australia, preserving the Anzac values and promoting them as shared values in the Australian community. Mr Corcoran said for himself and other veterans Anzac Day was also about remembering their mates, especially those they didn’t bring home. “I live my life to be the best I can, by putting others before myself to honour the Anzac’s sacrifice and that of my mates,� he said. “I challenge you to use the freedom and liberty given to us all - to be the best you can be.That’s what the Anzacs and our mates sacrificed their lives for.� The service was attended by serving and retired servicemen

along with all JCS students and staff. Special wreaths made Students spent last week learning about Anzac Day and Australia’s involvement in war. Each class made wreaths, with students laying them at the JCS Anzac Day service on Wednesday and at the Jindabyne Anzac Day commemoration service on Saturday. Navy cadets, who are also JCS students, stood guard at the school ceremony and served as the catafalque party during Saturday’s Dawn Service and Anzac Day ceremony. Hundreds of JCS students marched in Saturday’s parade from the town centre to Banjo Paterson Park to pay their respects. Year Six student Zac Corcoran offered a prayer of thanksgiving at the commemoration service. JCS principal DebbieLee Hughes said it was an honour for JCS to be involved in the Anzac Day march. “I am immensely proud of the school’s community spirit and sense of pride in commemorating our Anzacs,� she said.

Stunning new homes by Salvestro Developments

Heather Anoleck Dip FMBM

Finance Consultant Whatever your home loan requirements, let me find the best solution for you!

RATE DROP?

There is current sentiment that interest rates are likely to drop at the next meeting of the Reserve Bank, and possibly further in the future. What does that mean for you? Is now the time to fix your home loan, or do you wait for hopefully lower rates to come? There is no easy answer, as everyone’s circumstance is different. I am happy to explain the implications of fixing rates, and give clients a comparison. I don’t have a crystal ball to be able to tell people what the future holds with interest rates, but can help them by knowing what things they need to consider. It can also be a good time to get into the investment property market. Interest rates are low. Banks have some great special offers on. If you have other financial needs, more suited to a financial adviser, I can arrange an appointment with an experienced financial adviser, Damian Toms, who can provide specialist advice. For a free appointment to discuss your existing home loan, or future loan needs, please call me on my mobile 0431 351 873.

Over 130 people turned out to the Salvestro Developments open house on Saturday 28 March, where builder Ricky Salvestro not only had two houses with his high quality tradesman ship on display, but also the plans for his next development. The first home, a three-bedroom, two-storey open plan family property is located at 112 Massie Street, Cooma. Featuring a gorgeous wooden deck perfect for outdoor entertaining, and beautifully furnished by Cooma Furnishings, Betta Electrical and Mitre 10 Garden, the house certainly impressed visitors over the weekend. Right next to the Massie Street property, Ricky and his team have completed another three-bedroom home at 34 Creek Street. It features generous office space, a private courtyard, electric skylights and the main bedroom has a balcony with great views of Mt Gladstone. Ricky Salvestro is a born and bred local who has 25 years of building experience in the Cooma Monaro region. Joining the family business, Ricky did his apprenticeship and then worked as a partner with his father, Charlie, for many years. After learning from the best, Ricky has now started up his own business – Salvestro Developments Pty Ltd. His team is

experienced in building new homes as well as renovations and commercial developments. They also hold an asbestos removal licence and are an agent for Duratuff Vinyl Cladding, which has a 50 year warranty. Ricky says this is an exciting time for developing in Cooma, with extreme prices driving people out of the cities and into more affordable rural areas. However with so many builders in the Monaro region, Ricky is kept on his toes by the competition. When he is not busy working, or rehearsing for his upcoming performance in mcCr’s Strictly Musical fundraising event, Ricky is spending time with his three children and planning his wedding to the lovely Kirsty Cleverley later this year.

the

postman calls

Well, no-one could ever accuse the Monaro folk of being apathetic when it came to Anzac Day 2015. What a wonderful tribute to our WW1 serviceman and women. The Postman has attended more than 50 services in Cooma and last Saturday’s would have to be one of the biggest ever. Even at Dawn an estimated 2000 people braved the chilly morning to honour our fallen. Well done all – patriotism is alive and well and living on the Monaro. The sad part was, comparing this year’s march with photographs of the early 1960s marches, there are very, very few of our WW11 diggers left and of course, none of those who fought in the war to end all wars. Time also marches on… As we rocket towards winter, it is time to reflect on how we can stay fit and warm this year. The answer is simple – chop more wood! Alternatively, some nice woolly jumpers and socks might hold the key to comfort this winter.

Riposte Lisa Ashurst Just when I thought reality television had finally (yes!) run out of banal subject matter, I find we are about to be served up another one but seriously, who comes up with these program ideas and why does someone else believe they make great television? Okay, to be fair, some have a degree of substance and I’ll admit that I watch The Block and Master Chef but generally speaking, the bulk of reality television is pretty crass. Guaranteed drama, but still crass. Anyway, the one about to be dumped on us is calling itself a “social experiment” but initially, so did Big Brother (if I remember rightly) and look how that turned out! So now there’s this one which is all about couples who have never clapped eyes on each other getting married. According to the promos the couples have all been psychologically matched etc, etc, etc, and therefore considered to be perfect matches for each other. But as I was tuning out, a woman I assume is somehow connected to the program notes that arranged marriages tend to last longer. Okay, she was obviously saying some other things as well so if I am taking that particular comment out of context, I apologise, but while her comment is technically correct it doesn’t necessarily mean couples married off by arrangement are happy. It’s possible the couples getting hitched over the course of this program might be, given all that psych testing (no guarantees though) but in cultures where arranged marriages are the norm, such testing doesn’t

come into it and generally speaking, if the union turns out to be a bad one, there is no out, because cultures which adhere to the marriage-byarrangement system rarely allow the divorce option. So they stay together, until death do they part. This is why I had some issues with the “arranged marriages do tend to last a lot longer” bit. Yes they do, but not necessarily by choice! But as I said, this was just one quote taken out of her conversation and aired for the promo so maybe she felt she had something else to support what she was saying. But I also found myself questioning the mindset of people signing up to a national television show where they would marry someone they have never even met until I remembered that it is just another reality television show and more and more people are viewing an appearance on one of these as a hopeful foot in the door to celebrity and I suppose you can’t blame them. After all, at least one reality show participant ended up with a lengthy stint in a popular soapie while others have gone on to lucrative work in television and radio, or at least photo opportunities at media-covered social events and the occasional feature/ photo shoot in a variety of popular magazines. It’s all about exposure I guess and what better way to expose yourself to the all that potential than by thrusting yourself weekly into the spotlight via reality television? Lots of people watch trash TV! And for better or worse, they will all know your face.

cords before placing on the bed. Take care to keep curtains, tablecloths and bedding away from portable heaters. Keep wet clothing at least 1 metre from heaters or fireplaces and never leave unattended. If you use a clothes dryer make sure you clean the lint filter each and every time you use it. Only use one appliance per power point and switch off when not in use. Always extinguish candles or any other open flames before going to bed. Always handle candles or any other open flame with care. Store matches or lighters in a secure place not accessible to young children. Winter Fire Safety Tips To test an electric blanket

lay it flat on top of the bed, then switch it on for five minutes before putting it on the bed for use to confirm it is okay. • Use only authorised installers of fixed heating appliances. • Oil, gas or wood heating units may require a yearly maintenance check. • Only use fuses of recommended rating and install an electrical safety switch. • If possible, in the kitchen keep a fire extinguisher and fire blanket placed near the exit. • Never leave burning candles or any open flame unattended.

Save operation of portable outside gas heaters Fact Portable outdoor gas heaters are known to cause fires if they are incorrectly stored, not properly maintained and placed too close to awnings or other combustible materials. Safe outdoor gas heater use Portable outdoor gas heaters, also known as patio heaters, are a popular way to make outdoor dining possible during the winter months. These heaters are becoming increasingly popular among homeowners but are more widely used by restaurants and outdoor entertainment venues. The fire services recommend this simple safety checklist: • Only use in well ventilated outdoor areas and on stable, level ground. • Keep clear from overhead coverings such as awnings, shade sails and other combustible materials which can by ignited by radiant heat. The manufacturer’s instructions will show the necessary clearances from combustible materials. • Never store inside a building and minimise the number of gas heaters stored on site. The Australian Standard AS1596 does not permit

•

•

•

• •

storage within a restaurant or a cafÊ of any cylinder more than 4.5kg capacity and a total combined capacity of 20kg for all cylinders present. Gas cylinders must be stored outdoors in an approved, secure location. Have a nominated gas supervisor who knows how to safely use the heaters and always ensure children are supervised by an adult around outdoor heaters. Always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for maintenance. Outdoor gas heaters do require safety checks and regular servicing (every two years). Gas cylinders and hose fittings must be checked for faults and damage regularly. Watch for warning signs. Gas flames and radiant panels that burn yellow or produce soot are not working properly and require servicing. If a gas leak is detected, turn it off at the cylinder if safe to do so and call the Fire Brigade. Decanting – the transfer of gas from one cylinder to another – should not take place at catering and hospitality premises. A

dedicated area which complies with Australian Standard AS1596 is required for any decanting. Serious injuries and damage have resulted from illegal decanting by untrained people. • Heaters must be Australian Gas Association certified (as shown by a badge attached to the heater). Fire safety tips Where ever possible, use fixed natural gas supply heaters Fixed supply units offer a safe, affordable and permanent outdoor heating solution for hospitality businesses. Restaurants, bars and cafes are a dynamic environment where customers can also contribute to the risk by moving or adjusting portable heaters. Fixed supply units eliminate this potential hazard, as well as eliminating the need to store and handle LPG cylinders on site.

Choose Nobo heating The Norwegian company NOBO commenced making panel heaters in 1949 and is one of Europe’s largest manufacturers of panel heaters. The company is well known for its innovate products, high quality and modern design. NOBO’s clever design, incorporating a top mounted heat outlet, sets it apart from other panel heaters and enables them to be used in circumstances (for example behind furniture) where other panel heaters are not as effective or practical. NOBO Slimline Radiant Panel Heaters have the following advantages over other brands of panel heaters: - Attractive, modern clean face with no front grill - Cheap to run – independent running costs documented and available - Safer, low surface temperature on the front panel - Power point and cable out of sight behind the heater - Slimline – only 50mm thick - Large panel surface area equals greater radiant heat, and more comfort - Can be located close to or behind furniture DUAL HEAT NOBO Radiant Slimline Panel Heaters warm your room with a combination of both radiant and convection heat. Just like the sun, radiant heat is multi-directional, and works on the principle of warming surfaces and objects within a room. Radiant heat is universally regarded as a very efficient, healthy and comfortable method of heating. - Efficiency: In a typical room, there are more objects down low at people level. When these objects are heated,

they have the ability to maintain the heat in the room for longer periods of time. - Health: Radiant heat does not create air movement, therefore dust and air borne particles are not distributed around the room. - Comfort: The absence of air movement helps to maintain your own body temperature. Convection heat is gently distributed throughout the room through the top of the panel heater. NOBO’s unique design draws in cold air across the entire width of the panel, heating it as it passes over the element, producing natural convection (without a fan). With NOBO both types of heat happen simultaneously – resulting in the dual process of heating the room from the floor up (with radiant heat), and from the ceiling down (with convection heat), ensuring a quick start up, effective performance, and economical operation. ENERGY EFFICIENCY NOBO Slimline Radiant Panel Heaters are rated as 100% efficient because all energy used is converted to heating your room. There are no fans, or mechanical moving parts to waste energy or break down. Accurate electronic thermostats also ensure efficiency. Further economies and convenience can be achieved by installing timer models for automatic on/off operation. Due to their rapid start up, it is recommended to operate your NOBO panel heaters only for the hours heating is required. Or with the convenience of the timer models, preheat your room by programming it to switch on 15 - 30 minutes before use.

NSW Government gives firewood a big tick In June 2014 the NSW Department of Planning and Environment’s Building Sustainability Index (BASIX) was revised to set a lower greenhouse gas emission rating for residential wood-fire heating. The change is good news for anyone who has considered installing a wood-burning heater in their home, but has been put off by concerns about any perceived environmental implications. It is also good news for the Australian wood heating sector, which has struggled to get Australian governments to actively promote the proven environmental benefits of firewood. The Firewood Association of Australia (FAA) called for an improved rating for wood heaters in the BASIX system following the publication of research conducted by the CSIRO in 2003 and 2012, which found that firewood produced less greenhouse gas than all other domestic heating options. The CSIRO findings are supported by accepted national and international protocols for assessing greenhouse gas emissions from biomass. Prior to the change, wood heaters achieved the same rating as a 4-star fixed flue natural gas burning appliance in the BASIX rating system. With their new improved rating, wood burning fireplaces achieve a much better energy “score� than any other selectable heating option in the system including 5-star natural gas heaters, 6-star reverse cycle air conditioners and ground source heat pumps. Because the BASIX system provides a measure of both efficiency and greenhouse emissions, this new rating confirms

that wood heating is not just good for the environment but is also the best way to minimise winter heating costs. The unbeatable radiant heat, comfort, cheeriness and inherent feel-good factor of having a real wood fire in your living room are just the added benefits. Since its introduction in 2004, builders and new home buyers in NSW have become accustomed to modifying their house designs and appliance choices in order to achieve the specific energy, thermal efficiency and water use targets set by BASIX. In many cases the only way for home owners to achieve the required energy target “score� has been to install a costly and unsightly roof mounted photovoltaic solar panel array. Now, by simply selecting “wood heating� as an option within the BASIX rating tool, a much higher energy “score� is achieved which can be sufficient to meet the required target without having to resort to other more expensive, undesirable or unattractive options. Homeowners, builders and architects should be aware that all domestic wood heaters need to be installed in accordance with Local and State government legislative requirements as well as the Australian Standard AS/NZS 2918. Even if it is not a legal requirement in your area, for fire safety reasons it is strongly recommended that wood heaters only be installed by a licensed professional installer. Wood fires – not just the cheapest and most appealing way to heat your home in winter, but the best way to contribute to a sustainable future for our planet.

The wool market maintained the rage this week opening strongly on the first day of sales and consolidating on the final day. The fortnightly gain of 4.5% to the Eastern Market Indicator equates to $100 a bale for many of the Merino micron ranges. The market has closed the week at its highest level since May 2012, just a few weeks short of a three year high. The jump in the Crossbred and Merino Carding indicators has been more subdued however some of these continue to surpass all time record highs. 45,488 bales were sold nationally for the week with what must be nearly a record low passed in rate of just 1.9%. Major buyers included Chinatex, Techwool and Lempriere with a good spread of

buying interest from others. Forward market prices edged slightly higher but current bids for 21 micron for winter to spring delivery are up to 60 cents off the pace of the physical. The Australian Wool Production Forecasting Committee has left their prediction for the national clip in 2014/15 as unchanged on the previous season. The first forecast for the 2015/16 season has production shrinking 2.7%. This week’s sales 45,026 bales are expected to be on offer nationally with 11,430 in Sydney. Schute Bell, Wool Auctions, Goddard & Monaro Wool are selling on Thursday the 30th of April.

Howard Charles first-hand view of Chinese development

Retired grazier Howard Charles OAM and his wife Anne have just returned from a two-week trip to China organised through Nuffield Australia. Howard became a Nuffield Scholar in 1974 and it was through this scholarship he and Anne were able to travel to China to take in a comprehensive tour of China’s agricultural development. His group included three scholars from New Zealand, four from the UK and 13 from Australia. They flew via Singapore, where they learned many companies focussing on China were based there, then to Hong Kong before moving onto mainland China. In Hong Kong, they saw a number of small farmlets, where people are trying to achieve some self-sufficiency. Howard said Hong Kong is 63 percent selfsufficient in poultry, but imported most of its food and all its power and water from the mainland. He said there was no recycling – all waste going to landfill. On the mainland, the group visited demonstration farms, ethnic villages, dairies, consultancies, research farms, markets and a global company, Grand Farm. Howard said he was amazed at the speed of development they saw, with new highways and railways everywhere, and millions of trees being planted around every development. He said there appears to be a huge push into renewable energy, with the Chinese “really trying to clean the place up�. Every spare inch of land is being used, with the traditional farming communities being ‘urbanised’, or relocated to multistorey apartment buildings, so their land can be used for

agriculture. He said he had some concerns about the social impact that would have. Howard said the Chinese do not own their own land – they can only lease it from the government, which could explain why they are so keen to invest in Australian agricultural land.

He said China is the second largest producer of food in the world and the largest importer of food. He said it appears China aims to become self-sufficient in food production and with a stable government, five and 10 year plans can be put into operation quite successfully.

He said the new farming companies are using the very latest technology and using vast amounts of land to produce food. Howard said he was concerned this rapid development would leave Australia behind. Our product is welcomed in China and seen as being clean and green, but he is concerned that unless our primary industry moves with or ahead of the times, China will push ahead of us. “We need a better understanding of Chinese culture, which is thousands of years old. There are about 300 million middle class Chinese who want their children to have an international education. ‘They are very respectful of the elderly� he said. But he emphasised that Australia has to lift its game if it is to remain internationally competitive. Howard said the proposed Federal Government’s Free Trade Agreement would boost trade with China, increasing imports. He predicted imports of beef, lamb and milk would increase, as would wine imports. Milk products are very important, with milk still seen as a luxury, sometimes being gift-boxed. He said the Chinese eat the equivalent of one egg a day, or 1.3 billions eggs every day. The Grand Farm Company alone imports 150 thousand tonnes of beef and 40 thousand tonnes of lamb annually and wants to increase that. He said Australia’s strength lies in its reputation for being clean and green, ensuring food safety. He said the Chinese have a huge concern about food safety. “There are wonderful opportunities for our farming if we can get closer to China�, he said.

For some, it was an early start with a bus trip to Bradley’s Hut for a dawn service orgainsed by RSL sub-branch president, Peter Cochran. This was attended by about 180 people, including horse-riders who honoured the role of the horse in war. After the service, there was a special

Daniel didn’t get into any finals for Singles or Doubles this year because of the standard of players, he missed out by 1 point in the singles. In Bowl Throw Daniel was forced to throw his last ball to win that game to go into the semi finals, very close game was played in the semi final as Daniel was forced to go to another end to play to get the winner of that game. The Precision Throw is a do or die game you only get one chance to hit the ball, it’s a game of accuracy and Daniel won against a South Australian player 11-7. This was a win for Daniel 2nd year running and feels very pleased with his effort. The Progressive Throw is a game of running and accuracy Daniel was over the moon to get to the finals but it was going to be a tough game Daniel Pevere competing at the Junior Bocce Championships against the more experienced NSW in Melbourne. player T.

Cooma Colts round one results

Full On Constructions and Rhythm Snow Sports Under 6’s The under 6 Colts played their first round against the Belconnen United Sharks. Unfortunately they were defeated but they all tried their best. Aiden Dixon, Jana RosenbaumRobinson and Jesse Hurford all had great runs, mixing up the opposition by running them around the field before heading toward the home goal. Harper Woolf, William Bryan and Oliver Paul were always there to chase the other team whilst Tyler Lee and Nate Stokes made some big tackles. With the rest of the season to go it’s sure to be very interesting with a lot of potential showing already. South East Embroidery Under 7’s The Colts travelled to West Belconnen to take on the Warriors on Sunday. West Belconnen was first to score with two quick tries, holding the Colts to nil in the first 10 minutes of play. Rhylee Rosenbaum-Robinson, Bailey Benn and Mitchell Fletcher put in strong runs. The Colts hit back with length of the field tries from Othon Morgan, Riley McKenzie for a double and on debut and with his first touch of the football, Ari Geach. Throughout the game, there was some to and froing in the score between the two sides with some more good runs from Lachlan Burchall, Lachlan Bryan and Jackson Lee, but despite a good effort in defence from Cooper Lee, Jackson Cook and Kyte Lee, the Warriors went on to win the game 24 to 16. Try scorers were Othon Morgan 1, Ari Geach 1 & Riley McKenzie 2. McDonalds award to Cooper Lee for his outstanding effort in defence. Medal winner was Othon Morgan for his all-round effort as always. Snowy River Painting Under 8’s - Black The Snowy River Painting under 8’s Colts travelled to Canberra to play Queanbeyan Kangaroos. With a couple of players running late we took the field two short but this only allowed us more room to move. Within minutes Lachlan Sky made a break and ran the length of the field to score under the black dot. With a full side now on the field Queanbeyan had trouble finding the try line. Dempsey Woolf tackled like there was no tomorrow and Charlie Payne pulled off some great boot laces and all tackles. Wyatt Hurford, Jack Dunn and Darcy Rudd worked well as a team making the Colts line almost unbreakable. Natasha Kelly was brilliant at dummy half with some quick passes to allow the other team members the chance to catch Queanbeyan off guard. Charlie

Perea and Lachlan Sky both crossed the line on more than one occasion. The Queanbeyan Kangaroos where no match for the Colts, the Colts winning 32 – 10. Player of the day went to Lachlan Sky and the Managers award went to Darcy Rudd. Monaro Constructions Under 8’s - White Well what a way to kick off the season! Colts 54 Gungahlin 10.

Hunter Caldwell and Jayden Hart crossed for a try each and with Khian Flanagan over for two tries and man of the match went to Tyrell Bartlett who crossed for four tries. The boys were on fire with the boot with all tries converted. Many thanks to all our sponsors, parents and cheer squad for getting behind the team! Monaro Panel Beaters Under 9’s The U9’s travelled to Canberra to take on a bigger south Tuggeranong Knights side. The boys started on the back foot after giving away a few early penalties which resulted in tries for the Knights. Clayton Clarke and Charlie Fleming stepped up and led with their strong defence, backed up by Zane Usher-Rodahl and Jacob Smith. The lead then swapped back and forth with the Knights having trouble stopping Cooma’s attack led by Lee Morgan, Rhys Cleverley, Brendan Rees and Thomas Rudd. Cameron Filtness played at first receiver and directed the boys around the field showing good leadership with John Challis, Lachlan Buffet and Lucas Umback running strongly throughout the game. The last minutes of the game saw the Cooma boys dig deep and with 20 seconds left Rhys Cleverley scored his second try to snatch the win for the Colts 40-36. Other try scorers where Clayton Clarke (1) Charlie Fleming (1) Cameron Filtness (2) Lee Morgan (2) Conversions Lee Morgan (1) Jacob Smith (1) Thomas Rudd (2). Sportspower Cooma Colts Under 10’s The sports power under 10’s side travelled to Yass for their opening round of the competition. The team is pretty excited to be able to play for competition points for the first time and are keen to try to make it to the finals. The Yass Magpies had some big boys that were damaging runners. Great defence on their own line kept the Yass Magpies out. Strong runs from Jack McPherson, Azak Morgan and Mason Turner put the Colts in

good field position then Louis Mould had a great run and crashed over for the opening points. Good defence from Justin McDonald, Cooper Inskip, Louie Mould and Jordan Williams caused a mistake from the Magpies. Jordy got the ball, pinned his ears back and out ran the opposition to score a good try. The Colts went into the half time break with a 12-4 lead. The second half saw two super subs come in fresh from the bench. Charlie Paul served well at dummy half and Tristan Challis firmed up the middle.

Highland Ground Spreading under 11’s Stepping up a zone after last year’s great season, The Under 11s headed to Melba to take on the Belconnen Sharks. Kristian Zusak caught the ball from the kick-off and scooted around to score out wide, which settled any nerves we had. We welcomed two new players to the team, Jack Newson and Jack O’Donnell, both boys playing extremely well, Jack Newson making a spectacular try saving tackle in the corner, and Jack O’Donnell showing great speed and swerving through middle, and both boys kicking a goal as well. We also welcomed back Ryan Monday after a three-year absence, who tucked the ball in and charged into the defence like he never left. Barrett Bannon stepped up to dominate in defence, as did James Bannon. Shawn Ingham played out wide also defending very strongly and making metres with the ball. Tirone Morgan also stepped up, defending and running very strongly, as did Aron Umback who made plenty of metres through the middle. Kayla Fleming and Lachlan Hemphill were busier than ever, with big defensive efforts and enthusiastic running through the middle. Cody Clarke slotted into dummy half in the second half and very nearly snuck over the try line. Despite going down 32-20, a very solid effort by all, the season ahead looking good. Service One Alliance Bank Under 15’s Service One Alliance Banking under 15’s,

travelled to West Belconnen on Sunday to play their first game for the season. The boys had a fantastic game of football, they all played brilliantly in defence and attack. West Belconnen opened the scoring after four or five repeat sets on the line, but the boys regrouped with Matthew Chelin racing away to score the first try for Cooma. West Belconnen was leading 6-4, but the strength of Bill Zammit helped him barge over the try line leaving the score 8-6 at half time. Throughout the second half the boys’ defence was brilliant, keeping West Belconnen out until the last few sets of play they snuck through and scored two tries. The final score of the game was 14-8 in favour of West Belconnen. The 2015 team is Jak Adams, Matthew Chelin, Josh Hampson, James Hill, Lachlan Inskip, Noah Mylan, Liam Rankin, Jack Reid, Tommy Robinson, Joel Saville, Bill Zammit, Remy Oldrey and Sean Dixon. Well done on a first great game boys, you all should be very proud of yourselves.

Cooma boys travelled to Queanbeyan to play under the lights at Seiffert Oval on Friday night, coming up against the Canberra Valley Dragons, both teams ready to start the football season on a win. First half proved to be a tight game with both sides defending brilliantly. The Cooma boys went out strong and were able to put the first points on the board,. With a lot of team work, talking and determination Cooma powered through, even with a few unfortunate mistakes on our behalf the boys never let their guard down and were able to defend their line like warriors. Valley Dragons attack line was strong and they were able to put some points on the board as well, at one stage Valley Dragons were 2 points ahead of Cooma in the second half, but with the strong team effort and clever ball skills the Cooma Colts powered through and won the final points, with full time Cooma’s way 24 – 18.

Thredbo Ski Patrol - keeping the slopes safe - Elle Mackintosh If you are planning on visiting the beautiful Thredbo ski fields this season, rest assured that you will have the best and brightest looking after you. The Thredbo Ski Patrol is a fantastic rescue program that helps provide safety for skiers and snowboarders enjoying the slopes. The Thredbo Ski Patrol Association falls under the umbrella of the NSW Volunteer Rescue Association along with other operations such as Surf Lifesaving

and Road Crash Rescue. The main aim of the Patrol is accident prevention. At 8am, before the punters arrive, the patrollers head out for what is called the ‘morning sweep’. This involves actually skiing the runs to make sure the conditions are safe and there are no obstacles or other dangers on the slopes. The runs are not opened to the public until the morning sweep is completed and the Patrol has given it the all clear. There is also an ‘afternoon sweep’ that takes place after the public leaves. This involves the patrollers skiing down the slopes

simultaneously and in a zigzag pattern while calling out for anyone that may have become stuck somewhere on the mountain. This makes sure no one is left behind at the end of the day. Another responsibility of the Patrol is speed control. This involves a patroller being stationed in the slow zones to ensure no one is going too fast. This helps to prevent crashes and it is also means a patroller is visible in a stationed position in case a skier needs to report an accident. The Patrol places a significant

focus on constantly improving their response times. In a cold environment, acting quickly is essential. The Thredbo Ski Patrol boast some very good response times and this is mainly due to the number of patrollers who are out on the slopes at any one time. It is also due to the efficiency of the dispatch station and the communication system via radios, which every patroller carries with them. Once the first responder gets to the patient, they do an assessment and call in for any equipment that is required. In cases where the patient needs to be transported to

a medical centre nearby, they are taken on a sled called an akja. Equipment such as the akjas and all other first aid supplies are provided thanks to the many sponsors of the Thredbo Ski Patrol. Some of these include Thredbo Alpine Village, Canberra Airport, Larry Adler, Aspen Snowmass, Clubs NSW, Cooma Ex-Service Club, Whiteroom Tours, Rossignol and Icebreaker. A remarkable program and an invaluable service to visitors to the snowfields, the Patrol is a great initiative to be involved in. I spoke with three volunteers in the Thredbo Ski Patrol to get a first hand account of what it is like to be part of such an important operation in the Snowy Mountains. Barry May Barry May is a passionate skier who has been a volunteer in the Thredbo Ski Patrol since 1964 when he was a spry 26-year-old. Now entering his 51st season, Barry says he enjoys the Patrol as much as he did when he first started. The main thing that Barry likes about being a part of the Patrol is the camaraderie. “You get to mix with all types of people who have come to visit the ski fields and everyone involved in the Patrol are just a great bunch of people.” It is this social side to the Patrol that Barry really enjoys. “It adds a bit more to skiing than just going up and down the slope.” However being involved in the Ski Patrol is not all fun and games. “Probably the most challenging aspect of the Patrol is dealing with serious accidents, some of which

can be life threatening. In those circumstances, it can be difficult to remember your protocol and to try and work out what is the best thing to do in the situation,” he says, “However 90-95% of cases are very minor injuries and people generally pick themselves up again after a couple of minutes.” Back when Barry first started, these sorts of accidents were even more difficult to deal with because they had no radios. The form of communication was simply word of mouth. “I remember one time when there were two accidents that happened about 30 metres apart from one another. One fellow was screaming his head off in pain, whilst the other lay quietly bleeding into the snow. We had to spread the word that the quiet fellow needed our attention first, before the other loud one that was drawing all the attention.” Barry also says that the Patrol program is also much more structured than it used to be, with the morning and afternoon sweeps becoming part of every day, as well as rostered half-hour stints at certain control bases for the patrollers. There have also been changes to the level of training that a patroller

is required to have. “The level of first aid we are required to have has increased in my time to Australian Ski Patrol Association (ASPA) first aid, which is almost at a paramedic level,” says Barry, “We also need to make sure we keep up with all our recertification of that first aid, CPR, etc.” Barry says that the Thredbo Ski Patrol program is one of the best he has come across. “I have done a fair bit of travelling to other ski fields and the Thredbo Ski Patrol is equal, if not better, than anything I’ve seen in other places in the world. As an example, I took my wife to ski in Japan and she managed to slip over and break her wrist. The solution of the patrol there was to wrap it up with a bandage and two chopsticks before putting her in a taxi to the nearest hospital.” Pictured, Barry May in 2008.

Narooma too strong for Bombala On Sunday, April 26 the Bombala District Football Club hosted their second home game for this season kicking off round five against Narooma. The day was overcast and gloomy but the spirit of both teams shone through, with a modest crowd cheering them on. The end scores were not favourable to the home side; this was no reflection however on how the games were played. Ladies League Tag Both teams started the first half off rather measured testing out the field to see how it was going to best play for each team. It wasn’t long before the High Heelers found some ground with Maree Coates making a break through the Narooma She-Devils line. Even in the wet the chase for the ball was on, Jane Peadon, Dana Brownlie and Abbey Ingram putting in some early hard yards. Snatching the tags in the slippery cold conditions was hard but Tash Stewart and Kayla Jamieson made it look easy, keeping Narooma from scoring. Unfortunately Narooma scored half way through the first half putting the first points on the score board, but in no time Monique Ingram responded by putting the ball over the line with the help of a sharply placed ball from Tash Stewart. The ladies kept the positive talk going even though they were running into the wind, which had started to pick up. Sue Morgan, Lucy Sellers and Sam Ingram kept the defence strong, with Narooma attacking their goal line that wasn’t easy. There was eventually a fumble of the ball from Bombala however Narooma’s attack saw a kick with the ball sailing over the dead ball line. This was the fresh start the High Heelers needed to get their breath back and not to mention the ball. With Tash Stewart and Maree Coates set up for a play it was the pass to Kayley Keavey on the wing that saw her take off like a rocket. Tagged not far from the line, Monique Ingram took the ball to the right hand side throwing a floating cut out pass to Kayla Jamieson on the wing seeing her go over the line for more points for the Heeler girls. The hooter sounded shortly after indicating half time, with the score at a close 8-6 in the High Heelers favour. Back from the sheds and with the wind at their backs the ladies were ready to take on anything. Great attack from Jane Peadon, Janine Jamieson and Chloe Hodak pushed the Narooma girls back into their own half. Throughout the second half possession was fairly even between the sides under these wet cold conditions, play turn overs and a couple of penalties kept the crowd excited as the High Heelers took turns with Narooma to attack and defend. However it wasn’t to be the High Heelers weekend with Narooma girls slipping through the hands of Bombala’s defence to allow three more tries to the Narooma team in the second half. The score at full time ended as 22-8 to the Narooma She-Devils. Three points awarded from the crowd went to Monique Ingram for her solid defence and direction across the park, two points went to Jane Peadon for her firing tags and hard line running, one point went to Abbey Ingram for her solid running efforts making much needed metres for the Bombala team. The Players Player awarded from the players went to Jane

Peadon for as mentioned above. First Grade The lads joined Narooma Devils on the cold and wet field, with both teams hoping that the game would go quickly and injury free. Jackson Standon started the attack off early with Paul Perkins and Brett Hodak following suit, making some good ground under the Narooma defence. Daniel Douch, Charlie Lomas and Toby Morgan covering the wings and back line well, Narooma found it tough to get through their defence. Matt Stone and Rhys Crouch tackled hard making sure the Devils did not find a hole to get through. As expected in wet slippery conditions the ball would occcasionally come lose creating a mad scramble for the ball. Despite the early attack, Narooma found the line four times in the first half, they had given the Heelers a score to chase in the second half. With a rest at half time, the Heelers started the second half with the wind on their backs. Not long into the half Bombala was given advantage play when the ball didn’t find touch for Narooma. Play started and the ball was given to Brett Hodak who found a gap in the defence score for Bombala to put the first points on the board. Jackson Standon converted Brett’s try confirming the score at 22-6. Chris and Andrew Anderson were tackle machines and this sibling combination in at the halves seemed to work a treat, keeping the Heelers defence strong and the talk positive when attacking proved to be exactly what the Heelers needed. The next play was one of the most exciting of the game. The Heelers attack was on their way to the Narooma line, with Chris Anderson running toward the wing he was passed the ball and ran into the Narooma defence who tackled him over the tryline. The crowd were on their feet trying to see what the referees call would be. As Chris climbed out from the pack with a fist pump in the air, the ref awarded the Heelers a try, narrowing the score to 22-10. With only two converted tries down the Bombala lads could see the momentum shifting however it was Narooma who scored next to put the game just out of the home team’s grasp. The never say die attitude of the boys was to be commended and it was seconds before the full time hooter that they were in again via Andrew Anderson bringing the final score to 26-14. Three points and Players Player was awarded to Chris Anderson who stood up in every aspect of the game, two points went to his brother Andrew Anderson whose direction on the field has become a real asset to the team and one point awarded to the work horse Brett Hodak who continues to make vital metres for the team. The Bombala & District Rugby League Football club would like to thank everyone that came to support the High Heelers and Blue Heelers enduring the wet and cold conditions, just a taste of what is to come heading into the season and the winter months. Next weekend sees all group 16 teams having the bye round with Bombala’s next games set for Sunday May 10 against the Cooma Stallions and Fillies at Cooma in what is sure to be a highly entertaining afternoon of footy. See you all there!

Fillies make it two from two in one day Lady Tigers defeat The Cooma Fillies had a successful day on the field on Sunday, playing two games in quick succession for the first time this year. With the Candelo-Bemboka Panthers and Merimbula-Pambula Bulldogs combining on the draw, Group 16 found itself with two women’s sides in the Merimbula-Pambula Hot Doggies and the Candelo-Bemboka Pink Panthers which meant that the Cooma Fillies, along with the other Leaguetag teams, would play twice on these days. In the first game, the Fillies took on the Merimbula-Pambula Hot Doggies and were dominant across the park. Steered by Abby and Kate Schofield, the Fillies supported well and showed strength in attack. Meg Bracher’s long kicking game was impressive, positioning the team well, and the Fillies defensive line of Georgie Clarke, Erin Donnelly, Ashleigh Steinke, Lara Hansford and Tammy Povey put great pressure on the Hot Doggies. Kristy Nicholls and Anna Steel combined well in attack and made good metres before Abby Schofield made use of a dishevelled defensive line to slide through under the posts. Strong runs from Katelyn Patricks and Kirrily Carberry maintained the Fillies’ position well. Georgie Clarke’s powerful hit ups caused headaches for Merimbula and she was unstoppable for the course of the game, scoring out wide, while Anna Steel shimmied through defenders and scored

twice close to the line. The game was rounded out with a long range try from Raen Brademanne from the kick restart, as she outpaced multiple defenders and ran the length of the field. The attacking play throughout the course of the game was outstanding and the score reflected that, rounding out the game 56-0 victors. In this game, one best and fairest point was shared between Abby and Kate Schofield who could not be faulted throughout the course of the game, while speedster Raen Brademanne picked up two points and Erin Donnelly was awarded three points and players’ player for her strong attack and monstering defence. In the second game, the fatigued Fillies faced the Candelo-Bemboka Pink Panthers in their first clash since the Pink Panthers joined the competition at the start of 2015. The Fillies began their game shakily and the Pink Panthers’ halves controlled the opening passage of play. Great defence from Yasmin Williams, Jemma Watts and Elise Dyball kept the Fillies out of trouble, while Kate Schofield was unmatched for her vision and enthusiasm. Anna Steel and Kirrily Carberry combined well for a long range try, while Meg Bracher’s natural ability in attack and defence continuously tested the Pink Panthers and resulted in more points. Louise Barron and Ailish Pope had energy to burn, and their kick-chase put pressure on Candelo’s fullback on more

than one occasion, while Kristy Nicholls provided extensive support play and was never far from the ball. Raen Brademanne and Katelyn Patricks showed promising signs for the future of the Fillies as they combined for Raen’s second try of the day, while Georgie Clarke was unstoppable in scoring a try of her own. Despite the rocky start and waning energy levels, the Fillies defence held strong and again kept their opposition to nil, with the final score reading 28-0. For the second game, one best and fairest point went to the energetic Kristy Nicholls, two points was awarded to Raen Brademanne who was solid in attack and defence while three points and players’ player went to the dominant Kate Schofield. The Fillies have the weekend off before facing the newly reformed Bombala High Heelers on Mothers’ Day in what is sure to be a tough contest. Cooma Fillies 56 (A Steel, 2, K Schofield, A Schofield, M Bracher, K Nicholls, G Clarke, L Barron, A Steinke, R Brademanne tries; K Schofield 6/7, A Schofield 2/3 goals) defeated MerimbulaPambula Hot Doggies 0 Cooma Fillies 28 (K Schofield, R Brademanne, G Clarke, M Bracher, K Carberry tries; K Schofield 4/5 goals) defeated Candelo-Bemboka Pink Panthers 0.

Stallions - grit, determination, pride… Grit, determination, pride - three words that best describe the Cooma Stallions performance against Merimbula Pambula on Sunday at Bemboka. In one of the toughest games in recent times, both sides threw everything at each other with defence that rattled the ground. With Merimbula having more ball they finally broke the deadlock to lead 6 nil but Cooma hit back near halftime to go to the break at 6 all. The second half started just as furious as the first, the crowd now getting involved in this classic encounter. Merimbula pounded Cooma’s line for set after set with Stallions line defence outstanding. Cooma could not get not get out of their own half with a string of penalties

going against them 9 - 2 second half. The Stallions would not lay down and once getting some ball, Lynch scored wide out to the delight of the Cooma supporters, Cooma up 10 – 6. You always knew this game had another twist with the Bulldogs scoring -10 all 10 minutes to go. At this stage both sides were showing signs of fatigue but somehow Cooma drove forward one more time with captain / coach Todd Williams breaking tackles and slipping a pass to Mitch Hynes who raced down the touch line to score in the corner. He then calmly slotted the goal for Cooma to lead 16 - 10 but as predicted there would be one more twist. With only minutes to go the Bulldogs got across the line - now the pressure

was on young Schaefer to convert from close range to secure a draw and he hit the post, to the despair of Merimbula and delight of Cooma, Cooma winning 16 14 in a great game of rugby league. Try scorers for Cooma were Mitch Lynch, Liam Saunders and Mitch Hynes with Hynes kicking two goals. All 17 players can be proud of their efforts with special mention to Richard Bensley, Liam Saunders, Corey Thomas and young gun Luke Ingram off the bench. There are no games next week as Group 16 take on the power of Group 6 in rep footy at Batemans Bay this Friday night. Good luck and especially to the Cooma lads Todd Williams, Joel Smith Corey Thomas and Liam Saunders.

Reserves lose 32 - 8 against Bemboka The Stallions reserve grade took on a well organised and tough Bemboka team at Bemboka on Sunday. Cooma were on the back foot from the beginning, conceding early possession and defending repeat sets as Bemboka made the most of gifted opportunities and crossed early out wide. The Cooma boys showed a lot of heart in defence and slowly worked their way back into the game. A try to Jake Schofield off the back of improved ball control and better direction through the

halves saw Cooma go to half time behind on the score board but with their tails up looking the better side. With all but half a man left on the bench Cooma were up against it. The second half with no troops was an uphill battle but a gutsy effort was given by all. Jake Schofield bagged a double on his birthday and some positives for the team were the forwards working themselves to a standstill and a young back line trying till the very end for points. It was a tough day all round for the reggies

but credit to Bemboka being the better side on the day. With a bit more training and the benefit of learning a few valuable lessons in ball control Cooma reserve grade can prove to be a force, hopefully sooner rather than later. Final Score 32-8 to Bemboka Ben Rolfe - 3 points; Dean Blyton - 2 points Jake Schofield - 1 point and Players Player Next game for the Cooma Stallions Reserve Grade will be against Bega in three weeks at Bega.

Majura 2-nil Coming into the third round in the Canberra comp the Cooma Ladies Tigers were running on a high after a 7-0 domination against Tuggeranong the weekend before. Their opponents on Sunday were Majura who certainly proved to be up for the challenge. The game started with high intensity but Cooma found themselves defending early. Emily Perkin was placed as sweeper for the first time and she was in for a big game, she held the defence line extremely well for the whole game and was helped out by the goal keeper for the match Candice Geach. The first half was very close for both sides but Cooma kept pushing and felt if they held the possession for longer each time that a goal was looming. Lisa Drury had some great runs down the left wing and was getting some great crosses in for Miruna Moruz and Libby Goggin to work with. A few close chances but nothing came off so Cooma had to keep pushing. The second half Cooma lifted the intensity and they maintained their passing game from the back to the front. Erica Murphy really got into the action and her determination won the ball back many times for Cooma. Newly married Tina Baker was everywhere throughout the whole game and didn’t stop running. Carley Bartell worked with her winger to get the ball up to midfield time and time again. Kimberly King never stopped putting pressure on the Majura forwards and consistently took the ball from them and got it back to the midfield. Kerry Baines was again impressive and doesn’t stop running in every match. Beth Lloyd came onto the wing and showed more determination every time she went for the ball. A few passes kept together in mid field with Tina Baker and the wingers to get the ball to the front left to Miruna who took a shot on goal from

inside the goal box and floated into the back of the net, Cooma were 1-0 up but the job wasn’t over. Great goal Miruna! Alex Thoma got into the swing of things pressing the opposition and was really working hard as a winger. New addition to the team Tenielle Vonderburg had some great runs down the front as a forward and had some great crosses go into the box. Again with some solid passing coming from the defence through to mid field, a great cross from forward Libby Goggin over to Miruna meant there was some space in the box. Miruna and Annika Jones did the classic 1-2 1-2 and Annika saw an opportunity and took a shot on goal which went across and ended up in the top right of the net. It was Annika’s first ever goal ever and the team were pretty excited! Some excellent talking, passing and concentration meant that the Tigers were looking to wrap up the match. However, Majura pressed late in the game and really put the defence under pressure. Two free kicks from the top of the goal box meant that Candice was up for some serious goal keeping. Both shots were fired at the goal and Candice did a fantastic job both times really saving Cooma from drawing the match. Well done Candice and the backs. The referee wasn’t letting anything slide in the match and really stamped down on anything and everything including Tina’s ability to apparently defend with her bum. With quite a new team Cooma are showing some great team spirit and ability to work well together and will prove to be an exciting season for them. A good 2-nil result for Cooma. Next game is in Canberra 02/05/15 against UC Pumas in Mawson at 10am. Well done Cooma!
