performance at the Cobargo Folk Festival at the age of seven, Vendulka has grown as a performer, where she has developed a unique maturity and emotional connection to her songs. She has self-taught herself guitar for the past 18 months, and at the beginning of this year, she wrote her first original piece, ‘Daddy’s Little Girl’. “When you’re singing your own song, it’s like showing someone your diary,” Vendulka said. “It’s a really personal experience, and a way of expressing your thoughts and feelings.” Vendulka said she used to watch people on talent and singing shows and wonder how they got on them, and when X-Factor dropped their audition age to 14 last year, she decided that she would audition this year once she was old enough. Since her performance was televised, Vendulka’s Facebook fan page, Youtube profile and Twitter account skyrocketed with likes, viewings and followers, where she has received thousands of positive comments. “It’s crazy to see the amount of support I’ve received and is all very overwhelming,” she said. Vendulka and the other successful contestants will now go to ‘bootcamp’ where they will be split into four groups: under 25 boys, under 25 girls, over 25s, and groups. Following bootcamp, the judges will have to eliminate to make four equally sized teams.

NOW AVAILABLE
Residents at Yallambee Hostel in Cooma North, will have no trouble accessing the Cooma North Shopping Centre now, due to a new path created by Cooma Lions Club with help from Cooma-Monaro Shire Council. Some of the residents like to walk across what was a lawn area to the post Office or coffee lounge and there was always the risk of them slipping or falling. A suggestion by Yallambee’s manager, Donna Saddler, had a positive response from Cooma Lions,
who were more than happy to take on the construction of the path as a project. Assistance was provided by council, in doing the excavation work, designing the path and providing the steel. Cooma Lions Club members spent three days concreting the path, which gently slopes through the lawn to the shops. The pathway will have some landscaping done, plus a few seats, so the daily walk to the shops will become more of an outing for the
residents. Lions president, Ken Hanna, said the club was only too happy to take on the project and pleased to be able to assist the residents. To mark the official opening of the path, resident Maggie McKendrick cut a ribbon and the residents were treated to a Lions barbecue for lunch. Other projects to be completed to complement the path will be a concreted area at the front of Yallambee and seats, so those waiting for transport can rest while they wait.

This was Elizabeth’s first formal year of debating, in a competition where the speakers range from Year 6 to Year 9. Elizabeth is in Year 7 and is the team’s resident first speaker. “It is particularly difficult for first speakers to make a huge impression on adjudicators but Elizabeth is quite exceptional.

Bravery award for disarming gunman Berridale resident Timothy James Reid has been named as a recipient of a bravery medal in this week’s annual bravery awards. On the evening of August 3, 2009, Mr Reid assisted in disarming an intoxicated man armed with a shotgun who had fired shots at a home in Berridale. Mr Reid heard a gunshot while sitting on the veranda of his home and went out onto the street to investigate. He saw an armed man and shouted at him to put the gun down; however the man fired a second shot that hit the legs of a resident of the house. Mr Reid immediately moved toward the offender, pulled away the shotgun
and threw it over a neighbouring fence. Mr Reid remained with the offender until police arrived and arrested him. By his actions Mr Reid displayed considerable bravery. Mr Reid said he was pretty chuffed to have received the award, although he said he thought it “wasn’t warranted”. Asked if he would do it again, Mr Reid said “sure, well and truly, I wouldn’t hesitate. But my wife might think differently”. Mr Reid believes he was nominated by one of the police officers attending the incident. His medal is one of 17 announced in the honours list.
Emergency service report At about 10am on Sunday August 26 near Chakola a 55-year-old ACT male was riding his motorcycle and as he was over taking cars he lost control and was thrown from his bike. He was taken by ambulance to Canberra hospital for treatment. Police investigations are continuing.

Engines running for Cooma Hill Climb Remediation of Council Land at 84 Polo Flat Road In order to address certain concerns raised by some community members relating to the rehabilitation of certain contaminated properties in Cooma, this is to advise that Council has provided copies of remediation plans and reports on recently identified sites on its web site. The Council site at 84 Polo Flat Road is one of many that have been identified in NSW as either known or suspected to have contaminants present. It is a requirement of the NSW Government that all Councils in NSW keep a register of land that is either known or suspected to have contaminants present. To this end, it is also the responsibility of landowners and businesses to take appropriate actions in relation to contaminants. This is encouraged by Council to minimise any risk to their families, employees or members of the public. The register of known/reported sites is on Council’s website. Pictured near the finishing line for the hill climb track are, Cooma car Club’s event organiser Rogan Corbett, David “The Stig” van der Plaat, Mayor Dean Lynch and Counil’s manager, engineering service, David Byrne.

This has included reinforcing guard rails on some of the bends, pavement improvements and widening some sections of the road. There will still need to be other removable barriers erected for race days to protect trees (and vehicles). Club members have been busy with working bees to construct barriers from old tyres.

With regards to the specific remediation of the site at 84 Polo Flat Road Cooma, Council has commenced and will complete works between 1 August and 30 September 2012 to remediate the site. This follows the discovery of asbestos-containing materials at the site, and is in accordance with directives from the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA). Council has been working closely with both the EPA and Work Cover to ensure these works are carried out in accordance with approved standards to ensure the protection of Council staff, contractors, neighbouring landholders and the general public. A number of documents to this effect are located at Council’s Web site with appropriate links for further information on this matter. Any questions in relation to the proposed works should be referred to David Byrne, Director of Engineering Services, by calling on 64551801, or to the NSW EPA office in Queanbeyan, by calling on 02 62297002. Request for Return of National Grant Overpayment to Councils All NSW Councils recently received notification from the NSW Grants Commission indicating that a national overpayment of $53 million has been made by the Australian Government to the Financial Assistance Grants in 2011/12. The NSW share of this overpayment amounts to $16 million. Advice has been received that each Council’s overpayment in NSW is to be reduced from the second instalment of the 2012/13 payment. Based on issues raised by respective Councils, the Local Government Associations have objected strongly to the Australian Minister for Local Government, the Hon. Simon Crean MP about this money being taken from Council’s 2012/13 budgets as expenditure has already been planned in consultation with communities. The overpayment to Cooma-Monaro Shire Council was $116,039 made up of $88,844 for general service programs and $32,195 allocation for roads. Appropriate representations are being planned to Minister Crean by this Council to the withdrawal of these planned funds in the current budget and the serious impact it will have on Councils already limited resources in the provision of service delivery to the community.

postman calls
The Postman had hopes last week that winter was finally on the wane, that spring was returning and all was right with the world. But that was until more Arctic weather hit us late in the week. But there’s no fooling the spring blossoms. The prunus trees are starting to do their thing, the daffodils are starting to flower and the apricot tree, like the claret ash, is in bud. But if we get another minus seven morning again between now and the end of October, The Postman will be pretty peeved. This has to be the “on” year for apricots, surely? This weekend, our two rugby towns do battle for grand final honours – Jindabyne at home to Crookwell and Cooma away to the Goulburn Dirty Reds. There’ll be some serious celebrating in Jindabyne if the Bushpigs win the flag. Possibly some serious celebrating even if they don’t. Meanwhile, on that long, long bus trip to Goulburn and back, the Red Devils will no doubt be giving voice to a few old favourites, ‘Dinah’ and her friends included (or was that only in the last century?) The Stallions will be represented in the major semi finals by the ladies Austag team, the Fillies. They defend their unbeaten season on Saturday, at Bega. Let’s hope they win through to the grand final in another two weeks. Good luck, also, to the Cooma Colts, who are also into the finals. Cooma has had a pretty good year on the football field, really! The Bombala Bluetongues play Batemans Bay this Saturday in another rugby semi, while the Bushpigs under 15s play their grandfinal in Canberra. Phew!

Repeal Native Veg Act Editor, I write with regard to serious problems with the current native vegetation laws and the Review now in process. The current Review has so far ignored major economic, social and environmental costs imposed by the Native Vegetation Regulation. For these reasons, I reject the proposed Native Vegetation Regulation. I call on the government to move towards the repeal of the Native Vegetation Act and Regulation by re-doing the Regulatory Impact Statement properly. I submit that the Regulatory Impact Statement must wherever possible quantify the costs of the Regulation that were ignored, including: the extent to which the native vegetation Regulation promotes weeds, and is actively worse for biodiversity, sustainability and native ecology the costs in terms of reduced productivity the cost of all federal, state and local government salaries, taxation, superannuation, all leave categories, offices, cars, phones, mobile phones, training, travel, and accommodation
devoted to promoting, making, administering and enforcing the native vegetation laws the time and money costs to all farmers of compliance, administration and resource allocation the number of jobs, businesses and industries destroyed the number of people dispossessed of their farms as a result of the native vegetation laws the extent to which the native vegetation laws have reduced local council services including roads due to the funds they would need to comply with the difference between the value of land impacted by Native Vegetation Regulation as opposed to land unimpacted. the high value of the principles of innocent until proven guilty, protection from search without warrant, the privilege against self-incrimination, Constitutional protection of property rights, etc. reduction in the quantity of food and clothing produced and the need for agriculture to produce far more that it currently does to meet world food requirements. Jim Litchfield Hazeldean
Message from Fiona Simson Editor, Twelve months ago, one of my first meetings as newly elected President of NSW Farmers’ Association (NSWFA) was with several members of our dairy committee who wanted to brief me on their new idea for dairy farmer representation - Dairy Connect. This group was to unite processors, vendors and farmers. To do this, they would need control of the Graham Park Trust, a sum of money held in trust for the committee by NSWFA. When asked why a new body was being established when dairy was a specialist commodity section with full policy autonomy, I was given a long list of failings by NSWFA which appeared to be more personality based than anything else. I’m sad to say that for the past 18 months at least, it appears to me that our committee has been more focussed on moving away from NSWFA than policy issues affecting our members. Dairy farmers are certainly not alone in the difficult position they now find themselves. Horticultural producers in particular are also experiencing a similar price squeeze. In my view, it seems an extraordinary time to join with the
processors to fight an issue that is arguably being driven by them and the supermarkets. For this obvious reason, the raw milk pricing issue has been specifically excluded from the “operating principles” of Dairy Connect. However, a new representative body is a decision for the dairy farmers of NSW as they decide where best to place the Graham Park Trust. Like all industry bodies, NSWFA is only as strong as the members and their elected representatives make it. Compared to the $1 million that the Graham Park Trust holds, NSWFA holds an asset base of $60 million, and represents more than 8,000 farm businesses. For this reason, we will continue to have a dairy committee. We will continue to speak with a united voice on the big issues that affect our farmers including pricing issues, native vegetation, mining and CSG issues, bio-security and industrial relations.

COOMA LIVESTOCK SELLING CENTRE – REPLACEMENT OF CATTLE RAILS
Following the heavy rainfall and flooding in March this year, work has been undertaken to raise the switch and control assembly (SCA) that forms part of the wastewater pump station control at Polo Flat. The SCA was flooded during the March rainfall event and caused some major electrical damage at the site. The raised platform is sufficiently high enough to avoid any future forecast flood damage.
Council has just completed the replacement of 3 rows of holding pens in the Cattleyards with all steel rails. The new pens were used for the Cattle Sale held on the 16th August 2012. The project was completed at a cost of $36,000 and carried out by Cooma Steel. This is part of Council’s ongoing improvement to the infrastructure at the Cooma Livestock Selling Centre.
Pictured is the modified SCA shelter being lifted into position over the newly raise SCA platform.

The ‘Piece Makers’ create care bags for cancer patients A dedicated group of thoughtful ladies, known as The Piece Makers, have been busy of late, piecing together a selection of attractive fabric bags to be donated to cancer patients in our local region and they have done a wonderful job. But these aren’t just ordinary bags. The Care Bags have been specifically designed and come with a selection of very useful items for cancer patients which include four comfort pillows (for breast cancer patients), two wheat heat bags, a drainage bottle bag, plus another to hold all their x-rays films. Care Bags were introduced to Cooma by breast cancer survivor, Jane Redmond, who had seen them elsewhere and believed they would be welcomed by cancer patients
here. Many people are involved in making the bags including Sue Broder, Vicky Burt, Marnie Stewart and the Fabric Salon. The contents of the bags can be varied and patients can choose their favourite colour, pattern or design from the selections brought to the wards by McGrath Breast Cancer Nurse, Bronnie Taylor. It is a small gesture, but one that makes patients feel good at a vulnerable time in their lives and the bags contain items that will be very useful for them during their recovery. The Piece Makers visited the Cooma Community Health Centre last Thursday afternoon to deliver several of their Care Bags to Ms Taylor for distribution.
McGrath Foundation Nurse Bronnie Taylor accepts the care bags from members of “The Piece makers’.
Monaro girls thrive at St Scholastica’s It’s understandable that families sometimes wonder about the wisdom of selecting a boarding school for their children’s high school education,
belief, valuing school, mastery orientation, planning, persistence and academic buoyancy, while on the non-academic side, boarders also score higher on meaning and purpose in life, life satisfaction, participation a ls o in extra-curricular activities and relationships with their parents! The Monaro district is well represented at St Scholastica’s College at Glebe where the girls seem to thrive on the pleasures and challenges of boarding life. Gabby, a Year 12 student from Dalgety, speaks positively of the support system offered at Schols by teachers, coaches, supervisors and friends and says that the College has helped her significantly in making choices that matter. Lily, a Year 11 student from Bombala, speaks positively of the big adjustment required in moving from
so it may be reassuring to learn that current research on the benefits of boarding notes that boarders actually score higher than day students on their self-

small town life to a city boarding environment, but agrees that the challenge has helped her to grow as a person; her cousin Ginnie in Year 9, who comes from Ando, greatly enjoys the convenience of a school that is so close to the city that she can also share with family when they visit. Brianna, a Year 12 student from Cooma, has loved every minute of boarding school, enjoying the many friendships she has made with the girls who are “like sisters” and also the opportunity to pursue her interest in dancing at nearby Urban Dance. Aimee, another Year 12 student who comes from Jerangle, has appreciated so many opportunities that she feels would not have been available to her elsewhere, and speaks warmly of teachers and boarding staff who are always willing to “go the extra mile” for the girls. Sarah, a Year 11 student from Braidwood who takes up the responsibility
of College Boarding Captain next year, praises the academic, cultural and sporting richness that is offered at St Scholastica’s and is confident that the friends she has made at school will be “friends for life”. These girls speak from the heart and are great ambassadors both for their home towns and for the College that has become a home away from home for them and their friends. To find out more about boarding at St Scholastica’s and what the boarding experience can offer your daughter, contact the Boarding College directly in the first instance to speak with Boarding Administrator, Diane Anderson, on 02 9660 0342 or danderson@scholastica.nsw. edu.au <mailto:danderson@ scholastica.nsw.edu.au> or visit our website where you can view a video that will show you what Schols boarding is all about.

Cooma CWA Branch News The Branch President, Barbara Scanes, welcomed everyone to the August meeting of the Cooma CWA and thanked them for helping out with the Council meeting. Special thoughts were extended to those members who had not been enjoying the best of health and apologies were accepted from those unable to attend the meeting. The next few months are going to be extra busy for the CWA members and events coming up were well discussed, particularly Awareness Day. Cooma Branch are celebrating this event on Friday September 14, 2012 with a sausage sizzle in Centennial Park. Members of the public are welcome to come along. Reports were given of the Group Council meeting and business dealt with. There is to be a bus trip to Tulip Top Gardens an October 9 and those interested are asked to contact Barbara Scanes by September 7. Members are asked to help out with refreshments at the launch of the Mick Joffe book of Monaro personalities. This is to be held at the Berridale Community Hall on
September 16. The students of Cooma North Public School are interested in cooking and craftwork and the Cooma members agreed to help them. Kaye Anderson was the winner in the cookery competition with her passionfruit cake. For the September meeting the cookery competition is for any of the following; Madeira cake, carrot and lemon jam, cucumber pickles and beetroot relish. The recipes for these can be found in the June Journal. The next meeting of the Cooma CWA Branch will be held on Monday September 10, 2012 at the Cooma Country Club, Mawson Street, Cooma.

Landholders and interested parties in the Berridale and Rocky Plain area are being asked to participate in the planning of an agenda for the Landcare Group. An invitation has been extended for a Barbeque and Planning Meeting on Saturday September 1 from 12:30pm to 2:30pm at the Berridale Fire Control Centre. The Landcare group has had success in getting substantial funding over the last few years, but now needs to take stock and set an agenda for the next few years. The input of the local community is vital to establish
issues which are important for this area. The meeting will be asked to suggest Group Projects which they would like Berridale Rocky Plain Landcare Group to pursue and field days which could be held. The Group would then follow avenues to secure funding to assist with work on properties or for group work, research or educational activities. The introductory barbeque will serve as an opportunity for landcarers to mix socially and discuss their issues.

Monaro High School students tackle 2012 City to Surf Monaro High School students were excited this year to take on the challenge of the 2012 14km City2Surf.

Why? The NSW Government is providing all Australiaʼs with a $5000 new building boost. So if you want to buy an investment property you can gain $5k tax free, with any new property purchase. I donʼt know about you but free money is hard to find. The average family would take 12 months to save $5k and the Gov will give it to you tax free. So what does this mean to you if you want to invest. This money can be utilised however you want. But what makes the best sense to me is to use it for the stamp duty. If you buy a new property off the plan you only pay stamp duty on the land as you settle on the land first. Therefore the $5k should cover this cost. But importantly you want to buy a property in a key location for capital growth and strong rental income. So where is the best locations in NSW for growth and rental income, well again on the back of the resource industry continuum of growth the Hunter Valley is picked as NSW number one place to invest. The beauty of the Hunter is it also has strong agriculture, wine and tourism industries. As I always advise you need to have multiple industries to assure sustainable growth. But it is the mining that is driving the region, with 17 mines with half an hour from each other makes the Hunter a great location. I would not suggest investing in a one or two mine town, but with 17 mines each with 20yr plus worth of resources you know you have a safe investment. As many people jump into a one or two mine town due to the high rental return, and if you have a very short term strategy and you are willing to watch the regionʼs economy you can make incredible money, but it is all about risk management. But the problem is many people have lost their money with the mine shutting leaving the property with no demand, no demand means no growth and no tenants. So where is the best place in the Hunter to invest, our research and other experts like Musselbrook, Maitland, and Scone. But after my trip there next week I will tell you more. Have a great day!

Sketch of school for school from local artist Monaro region artist, Andrew Dawes, made a gift of his stunning charcoal sketch of Cooma North Primary School when he presented the framed artwork to the school’s Principal, Les Percival. Treasurer of the P and C Alana Brown, and the co-ordinator of the School’s 60th Anniversary Marie Cox, were also at the presentation. Mr Dawes actually sketched his work back in 2005 because he liked the clean-cut look of the School and the picture had been in his possession ever since but he recently decided to donate the sketch to the School. Principal, Mr Percival, was delighted with Mr Dawes’ generosity. “This picture is very gratefully received.” Mr Percival said at the presentation.
Mr Dawes has exhibited his work at The Raglan Gallery, The Little Gallery at the Hain Centre and on two occasions he has won The Briscoe Award and has also won the Lions Club Art Competition. During the School’s 60th Anniversary, to be held at Easter next year, prints of two of Mr Dawes’ drawings of Cooma North School will be for sale; one in colour and this particular charcoal sketch. “Mr Dawes’ has definitely won the Cooma North Artist of the Year!” Ms Cox said at the end of the formalities.

Cupcakes for RSPCA The Snowy Mountains Christian School Interact Club were the organisers of a Cupcake Day to raise money for the RSPCA. The students are very enthusiastic about animals and were, therefore, keen to bake and decorate cakes to raise money for this worthy cause. Sandra Brabon, from Cooma Pet Shop, was keen to support the students in their efforts. The students enthusiastically cooked cupcakes for sale and the school had a competition
for: Most colourful, Best animal, Most creative and Mrs Wadland’s favourite cupcakes. Prizes were won by Abigail Sopniewski, Amy Carlson, Shaniah Rackley, Jessica Fjording and Jianna Fjording. The money raised was $272 and this was given to Sandra, representing the RSPCA, by Lara Sav, President of Interact and Maddison Rackley, director.

Loyalty pays off for GIO customers Craig and Sandy Cooma GIO agency owner Catherina Evans received a very pleasant surprise in July when she was contacted by the heads of GIO and informed that one of her business customers had been chosen to be one of only 30 people in NSW to be rewarded for their loyalty. Sandy Schofield was that lucky person, after firstly insuring her newly purchased hair dressing salon more than 25 years ago with GIO, because “My dad told me I had to. I guess I followed what he had done, as he had been with the GIO for his business
too”, Mrs Schofield said Sandy along with husband Craig and Catherina are now all off to Sydney tomorrow to see the Beach Boys, including a pre-show dinner with host Richard Wilkins, plane tickets and accommodation. Mrs Schofield said “I’d like to thank GIO for acknowledging my loyalty, I’m very excited and looking forward to going.” Pictured, Craig and Sandy Schofield accept their reward from Cooma GIO manager Catherina Evans.

VIDEO ART SHOWING AT THE RAGLAN The “Sense of Place” Video art exhibition is continuing to show at the Raglan Gallery in Cooma with a new work screening approximately every two weeks. Video art has become the default medium of the 21st century. Over the last ten years, video art has found new popularity and validity in the context of biennials, private collections, private galleries and public museums. In galleries and museums around the world, projection spaces, plasma screens and sculptural video installations are now common... According to Australian artist and critic, John Conomos, “video art has shifted, over the last three decades, from being an avante-garde medium of representation located at the margin of our art world to now being at its centre.” (Peter Callas, ‘Australian Video & Australian Identity – A Personal View,’ 83) The widespread presence of video can be attributed to a number of aesthetic, cultural, historical and technological factors. According to Australian curator and writer Russell Storer “the growing sophistication and economic accessibility of video recording, editing and projection technology; the dominance of the moving image in everyday life and culture; and the art world’s constant desire for the new” (“Video Logic” in Video Logic (Catalogue), Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, 2008 , pp.9-13) The launch of television in the 1950’s thrust the mass media into most people’s living rooms, providing an unprecedented way for political and commercial messages to be promoted via advertising, news and entertainment. Early video art was often a response to this rapid expansion of corporate culture in a private space. The introduction of portable video equipment into the domestic market in 1965, made it possible for individuals to produce their own videos in contrast to the controlled and centralised information of broadcast television. This exhibition is a first of its kind for the Raglan Gallery and you are welcome to view it in the gallery hours from Wednesday to Sunday 9.30am to 4.30pm A dLux MediaArts exhibition toured by Museums and Galleries NSW
St Pats Choir is first On Wednesday August 22, the St Patrick’s Parish School Primary choir travelled to Merici College in Canberra to participate in the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn Catholic Primary Schools Choir Festival. It is the first time such an event has been organised for Catholic schools in this archdiocese and seven Catholic schools from Gundagai to Moruya, including several schools from Canberra, performed two songs each. They were judged for the four categories of enthusiasm, appearance, musical ability (harmony, clarity) and general performance. The St Patrick’s choir performed Seek Ye First by Karen Lafferty and Riversong by Roger Emerson. Christina Rooney conducted the choir and Jane Wilkinson accompanied
them on piano. After an entertaining afternoon of listening to all of the choirs and everyone joining in with some singalong songs, the judges delivered their verdict as to which choirs would receive first, second and third places as well as an encouragement award. To our excitement, the St Patrick’s choir was awarded first place! We are very proud of our 15 singers who, with their wonderful voices, have strived so hard over the last couple of months to achieve this great result: Zara Childs, Adelaide Chong, Sarah Connolly, Erin Dodd, Tyler Elias, Brooke Fraser, Bronte Hely, Emma Hopkin, Claudia Kerr, Sara Knott, Kadee Laird, Miranda McGufficke, Jasmin Pascoe, Josie Platts and Megan Schofield. Well done girls!

Offices not closing - Gay
New location is sweet!
NSW Minister for Roads Duncan Gay said that, despite Labor’s best scaremongering efforts, no regional community would lose its frontline services. “It’s typical of Labor to criticise reforms that will improve customer service in the bush,” said Minister Gay. “NSW Labor neglected services in regional communities for 16 years. The idea of actually improving services for country areas is completely incomprehensible to Labor. Here are the facts; _ The NSW Government is improving customer service by moving to offer more services in a single location. _ We recently announced 210 Government services would be available at 18 new onestop shops across the State. _ One-Stop-Shops will be open from 7am until 7pm during the week and from 9am to 3pm on Saturday – making it easier for people to do their business with Government at a time that suits them. _ There will be no frontline staff reductions as part of this proposal, in fact in many
Don’t panic if you pop into Vale Street and discover Cathy’s Lolly Shack is no longer there. The Lolly Shack has simply moved to a new location and can now be found occupying the former Horizon Real Estate site in Sharp Street, across on the next corner from McDonalds. “We simply outgrew our old location”, Shop owner Cathy Potter said. “We needed more space and the new shop offers that, plus we will be more visible to the passing tourist trade.”
instances there will be an increase _ This is about making it easier for customer so they can access all services in one place. “As part of the ongoing consolidation of Roads with Maritime Services, there are opportunities to provide customers with one stop shops where they access services both for roads and waterways. “In coming weeks, three sites at Batemans Bay, Blacktown and Liverpool will be among the first to offer customers this improved service delivery. “It’s self-evident that in other communities that have both motor registries and NSW Maritime offices there is an opportunity to make life easier for customers by bringing these services under one roof. Although in some of those communities it will be important to retain both offices. “We are going about this in a sensible manner, with a focus on delivering the best possible outcome for the customer. The Labor party couldn’t tell the truth in government and it’s carried its bad habits into Opposition, they have learned nothing.”

The extra space has been put to very good use with seating available as well as some cosy nooks where people can relax with friends over coffee and a snack and locals needing a “meeting place” need look no further than Cathy’s Lolly Shack as the shop is offering the space for groups to get together. But as well as the delicious array of lolly treats, you can also browse the new lunch menu for a choice of toasted sandwiches, muffins, salads and foccacia.
Cutting red tape in NSW Member for Monaro, John Barilaro, has outlined the measures the NSW Government is taking to slash red tape to save businesses time and money, consigning 152 regulations to the scrapheap last financial year. “Less regulation will mean more businesses will be attracted across the border to NSW and will make it easier to do business in NSW,” Mr Barilaro said. “For instance, the NSW Government’s changes mean vets who have qualified in other parts of
Australia no longer have to go through another registration process before they can practice in NSW.” Mr Barilaro said the NSW Government was on track to save businesses and taxpayers $750 million by 2015 by removing unnecessary regulations. “A strong economy needs businesses to be successful and creating jobs, not getting tied up in red tape from government departments,” Mr Barilaro said.

Time poor dads miss out on Father’s Day Financial pressure, time constraints, lack of sleep and not enough ‘me time’ or time with the kids is the reality for many modern day Aussie Dads, according to a survey. A total of 1,012 Australians took part in the survey conducted by Fantastic Furniture to get a glimpse into how the majority of Dads will spend Father’s Day. “As an Australian company, we aim to understand consumer habits and lifestyles, so we conducted this survey to see what Dads get up to on Father’s Day. What we found is that the majority of Aussie Dads are feeling stretched financially and are frustrated they don’t spend enough time with their kids or have enough time for themselves,” said Mr Brent Allan general manager, marketing, Fantastic Furniture. Well over a quarter of Dads (27.34 per cent) who responded to the survey said the burden of financial pressure was what they least liked about being a Dad, with 30.47 per cent wishing they had more money. This is quickly followed by not enough time to do everything they want (24.22 per cent), while 35.94 per cent of Dads said they wished they could spend more time with their children. It seems that Mums agree too, with 64.82 per cent of mums saying that spending quality time with the kids is
what makes for a good Dad. Interestingly, just 3.26 per cent of mums said that working hard and providing financial support was what made for a good Dad. “Maybe Dads are putting the financial pressure on themselves and need a little bit of down-time to chill-out, play with the kids and have some fun this Father’s Day,” said Mr Allan. Almost all of the respondents said they celebrate Father’s Day (94.57 per cent) and that it is just as important as Mother’s Day. Yet whilst only seven percent of Mums manage breakfast in bed on Mother’s Day, this drops to a measly 3.36 per cent of Dads on Father’s Day. Yet 35.77 per cent will at least receive a card and gift from their kids. Most Dads would like more sleep, with the majority (65.62 per cent) getting between 6-8 hours per night and 29.69 per cent getting less than 6 hours. The majority of Dads are handy around the house with 53.12 per cent rolling up their sleeves for some DIY with 33.59 per cent saying they would do more DIY but simply don’t have time. Yet Dads still spend more time relaxing on the sofa than their partners, with the majority (39.6 per cent) averaging 4-6 hours per week, compared to most Mums who spend just 1-2 hours per week on the sofa. Most Dads (42.19 per cent) even have their favourite spot and 18.75 per cent have a trusty old recliner. In spite of this, when it comes to choosing the furniture, it’s Mum that wears the trousers with 31.48 per cent of Mums making the decision over which furniture to buy. “When it’s time for the recliner to go and

the smart new sofa to take its place, it’s Mum that makes the choice,” said Mr Allan. Interestingly, although most Dads would prefer to spend more time with the kids, they are happy with the amount of time they spend with their wives, with just 10.94 per cent saying they would like to spend more time with their partners. “When it comes down to it, most men would prefer to escape to the shed, or at least fantasise about their own ‘man cave’,” said Mr Allan. This was borne out by the survey, with many respondents keen to describe their perfect ‘man-cave’. “My ultimate man-cave is in a corner of the garage with a couch, rug, TV, small gym, tools and some signed car pictures on the wall,” said one entrant. “A fully stocked fridge, wide screen TV, Xbox, microwave and lock on the door, is my dream man-cave,” said another. “However Aussie Dads spend Father’s Day this year, our survey shows that they need quality time with the kids and a little bit of ‘me time’ as well. Those Dads looking to treat themselves this Father’s Day, can pop into one of our stores and invest in a brand new recliner or armchair (with their partner’s permission of course!) joked Mr Allan.

Serves: 4-6 Preparation time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 1-1½ hours or 2-2½ hours 1kg casserole beef (see beef cuts below) 2-3 tbsp olive oil 1 large onion, diced 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 2 tbsp red wine vinegar 1 tbsp plain flour 1 tbsp tomato paste 1 cup red wine 1½ cups beef stock 2-3 medium sized sprigs of fresh rosemary
400g can diced tomatoes 2/3 cup green or black olives 2 small zucchini, cut into 1.5cm thick slices Creamy polenta and braised baby carrots, to serve Preheat oven to 180°C. Cut beef into 2.5cm-3cm cubes. Season with salt and pepper, add 2 tbsp oil and mix well. Heat a large frypan over a medium-high heat. Brown the beef in 2 or 3 batches. Remove each batch and place in a
casserole dish. Reduce heat; add a little oil and onion to the frypan. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and stir for 1 minute more. Add the vinegar; stir to scrape up residue from the base of the pan. Add the flour and tomato paste, stir until the onion is coated. Gradually pour in the wine and stock, stirring until the mixture boils. Pour over the beef in a casserole dish, add the rosemary and stir to combine. Cover the casserole dish, place in oven and cook until the beef is just tender, then add the tomatoes, olives
and zucchini and cook for 20 minutes more. Stir casserole every 40 minutes or so, add water if needed to keep the ingredients just covered. Tips: 1. Beef casserole cuts and approximate cooking times. Chuck or boneless shin/gravy beef - 2 to 2½ hours. Topside, round, blade - 1 to 1½ hours 2. Browning is crucial. Don’t rush the initial stage of browning the beef, it’s important to brown it in small batches to maximise colour and taste. Remember the better it browns, the better the flavour.

Herb and mustard roast beef with cauliflower mash Serves 4 Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 55 minutes, plus 15 minutes resting time 800g bolar blade roast 2 tsp olive oil 2 tbsp Dijon mustard 2 tsp finely chopped rosemary 2 tsp finely chopped thyme 2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley 250g desiree potatoes, peeled, chopped 500g cauliflower, trimmed, cut into florets 1/2 cup fresh ricotta 2 tbsp chopped chives Roasted cherry tomatoes and steamed green beans, to serve 1 Preheat oven to 160°C or 140°C fan forced. Brush beef with the olive oil. Preheat a large non stick frying pan over a high heat. Cook beef, for 1-2 minutes each side or until evenly browned. Transfer beef to a rack over a roasting dish. 2 In a small bowl combine the mustard, rosemary, thyme and parsley. Brush the mustard mixture evenly over the top and sides of beef. Roast beef in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes for medium, or until 65°C on a meat thermometer. Remove from oven, cover loosely with foil, set aside to rest for 15 minutes.
3 Meanwhile, cook potato and cauliflower in a saucepan of boiling water for 12 minutes, or until tender. Drain. Return to saucepan, mash until smooth, stir through ricotta and chives. 4 Cut the beef, across the grain into slices of even thickness. Divide mash between plates, top with some slices of beef. Serve with roasted cherry tomatoes and steamed green beans. Tip: if you have a little extra time, try cooking the roast slower and for longer, you will get an even more tender result. Roast beef at 130°C for approximately 11/2 hours, or until 65°C on a meat thermometer. Tip: to roast cherry tomatoes, place 250g tomatoes on a baking tray and spray with olive oil. Roast for 1012 minutes, or until just wilted.

Hospital Auxiliary annual report Cooma Hospital Auxiliary has re-elected Janette Langwill as president at its annual general meeting earlier this month. Vice presidents elected are Robin Fletcher and Helena Reeves, secretary Jan Carpenter, assistant secretary Hazel Walker, treasurer Mary McKee, assistant treasurer Christa Harlander, publicity officer Jan Carpenter and kiosk person, Mary McKee. Guest speaker at the AGM was Sue GorringeLupton, who spoke to the meeting about the Werri Nina Centre, it’s services and history. The South East regional representative, Chris Smith gave a talk on what is happening in other regions and thanked Cooma for their commitment on raising funds to buy equipment for Cooma hospital. Those purchases have included six selfpropelling wheelchairs for the rehab and aged
care department, which should arrive soon. Donations from other organisations to the auxiliary during the year included $2500 from Cooma Monaro Historical Car Club, which was spent on equipment for the hydrotherapy pool; Old time Dance Group – donations will go towards the six wheel chairs. A concert in April saw $1000 raised, also to go towards the wheel chairs; Nimmitabel Garden Club – donation will go towards ultrasound examination beds. The auxiliary has received a request for two ultrasound examination couches and chairs, at a cost of about $10,400. These are motorised and allow manipulation of patient position and elevate from low positions, providing easy access for the elderly and patients with mobility issues.

As a result, many of us are looking for different ways to generate an income from our farms. Some of us have thought about truffles as they provide the opportunity for a reasonable return from relatively small farms. Truffles have the potential to be grown in areas of the Cooma – Monaro region. They prefer free draining, poor quality, alkaline soil (usually through the addition of lime); and hot summer temperatures and cold winter

Cooma involved in exercise to track exotic disease outbreak Cooma saleyards have featured in a statewide exercise to track a simulated exotic disease outbreak. Biosecurity measures performed well during this major livestock tracing exercise which simulated an outbreak of foot and mouth disease. ‘Exercise Tuckerbox’, a desktop simulation, also tested the effectiveness of livestock identification systems, comparing individual electronic identification for cattle against the mob-based ear tag system for sheep. “Foot and mouth disease poses a $13 billion risk to the Australian agricultural sector and could cripple the livelihoods of the State’s farmers,” Ms Hodgkinson said. “Exercise Tuckerbox demonstrated the speed and effectiveness of our current livestock traceability systems to respond to a disease emergency with all animals traced within 12 hours, which is half the time required by the National Livestock Traceability Performance Standards. “The success of the exercise suggests there is no need to move to a radio frequency identification system for sheep traded on the domestic market as long as producers ensure all sheep are tagged and accompanied by the appropriate National Vendor Declaration forms and documentation,” Ms Hodgkinson said. Exercise Tuckerbox is part of the NSW Government’s program to defend the economy, environment and community against the negative impacts of animal and plant pests, weeds and diseases. It is part of a suite of biosecurity measures which include the recent opening of Australia’s most modern biosecurity laboratory at Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute which gives NSW the capacity to diagnose multiple exotic and emerging plant and animal diseases. Exercise Tuckerbox traced over 421,000 sheep and cattle to nearly 2,300 properties, saleyards and abattoirs throughout NSW and in other states in less than 12 hours. The exercise tested and compared the mob-based
tracing system for sheep and goats with individual electronic identification for cattle using the NLIS database and found both systems were highly effective and met the national tracing performance standards. Exercise Tuckerbox was conducted by the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) and the Livestock Health and Pest Authorities. NOTE: This was a simulation exercise only. There was no actual exotic disease alert or outbreak.
Snapshot of Exercise Tuckerbox: Traced 181,000 cattle and 240,000 sheep to 2,050 properties, 47 saleyards and abattoirs. Animals were tracked to Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT. Using the NLIS database, tracing was completed with the equivalent of 7 people within 12 hours, well within the 24 hours required by national tracing standards. Five Facts about Foot and Mouth Disease: Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) is NOT present in Australia. FMD is a highly contagious viral disease that affects cloven-hooved animals such as pigs, cattle, sheep, goats and deer. It does not affect humans, horses, or companion animals such as dogs and cats. Strict quarantine measures are in place in Australia to prevent entry of the disease through preventing animals and product imports which may host the virus. The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) estimated losses from an FMD outbreak in Australia could range from $AUD 7.1 billion for a small, three month outbreak to $AUD 16 billion for a large, 12-month outbreak. Major FMD outbreaks in Japan and South Korea in 2010-2011 incurred costs of approximately US $2.74 billion and US $2.7 billion respectively.

Could beer solve global warming? Burping animals are currently under the spotlight as Australian scientists rush to find a way to reduce the methane emissions of sheep and cattle – and beer may play a valuable part. The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry has funded two studies; one takes a closer look at the byproduct of the beer making process, while the other is focused on unravelling the genetic makeup of sheep in the hope they can one day breed animals that produce less methane. University of Western Australia associate professor Phil Vercoe explained methane is a byproduct of the fermentation in the sheep’s rumen and hind gut. “Methane production is largely dependent on diet quality and feed intake, but research in cattle shows that animals selected for higher feed efficiency produce less methane per kilogram of dry matter intake than cattle selected for lower efficiency,” he said. “This suggests that methane production is heritable to some degree and that reducing methane emissions through genetic selection is feasible.” The University of Western Australia has carried out tests on about 2,500 animals from the Sheep Cooperative Research Centre Information Nucleus Flock in New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia. “Our tests indicate that a preliminary estimate of heritability using a shortterm methane measurement is low but encouraging,” Prof Vercoe said. “But we need to screen more animals to improve the accuracy of this estimate and to enable correlations to other production traits to be estimated.” Results collected by UWA, together with results gathered from work undertaken in New Zealand, indicate that heritability is about 0.1-0.2. Prof Vercoe said that reducing emissions from sheep production systems will not only assist Australia in achieving its longterm domestic emissions targets, but also improve the profitability of sheep producers. “It is likely that more feed-efficient animals will produce less methane per unit of wool or meat,” he said.
“Economic modelling shows that decreasing feed requirements in terms dry sheep equivalent per head by one percent would add more than $15 million to the value of the industry each year.” DAFF have also ramped up efforts to help cattle producers reduce methane produced by cows, setting their sights on one of Australia’s most popular beverages – beer. The byproduct of the beer-making process, brewer’s grain, is just one waste product which scientists have shown can reduce methane emissions in cattle by 1520 percent. University of Melbourne associate professor Richard Eckard said the project aimed to develop practical feeding strategies that dairy farmers can implement to curb methane emissions and maintain profitability. “Methane is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide,” he said. “And each grazing dairy cow can burp up to 600 grams of the gas per day.”
The project has investigated several waste products that are high in oil including whole cottonseed meal, cold– pressed canola meal, brewers’ grains and hominy meal as feed additives for dairy herds. “For every one per cent of oil added to a ruminant’s diet it translates to a threeand-a-half per cent reduction in methane emissions,” Prof Eckard said. The results show the most valuable time for the oil to be added is when pasture is limited in quantity and has a low nutritional value. “In spring, our ryegrass gets up to around five per cent oil anyway, and you can’t go above seven per cent, so you don’t have as much margin,” Prof Eckard said. The study also found that drenching cows with tannin can also reduce methane emissions by up to 29 percent. However, Prof Eckard said scientists had trouble getting cows to eat the tannin because of its bitter taste.

2012
A Piece of Pigs history The club commenced in 1983 over a beer at the Lake Jindabyne Hotel between local builder Harry Cummins who was challenged by a Cooma electrician Brian Kaufline to start a team to play against Cooma. Team jumpers were bought in an Irish emerald green colour which is still part of the club colours today. The Club started in the ACT sub-district competition in 1984. Grand final wins were in 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996,1999 and 2006. The latest grand final win was against Bungendore at Bungendore in 2008. This year 2012 will see history made as the club hosts a grand final for the first time. The club seems to be very lucky in Olympic years. There are 14 life members, Harry Cummins, Ross Field, Mick Swinney, Lochy Thompson, Garry Mugridge, Mick Mugridge, Barry Mugridge, Tommy Granabetter, Murray Johnson, Jimmy Crocker, Ian Graham, Matt Fish, Richard Boys and Steve Carter. In 2004 the Bushpigs took over the junior rugby previously being run by Snowy Mountains Grammar School. The juniors then
took on the appropriate name of the Jindabyne Piglets, today there are four Piglets teams. 2006 saw the commencement of the Miss Piggies where a few local ladies, some who have never played before indicated they would like to have a go at the game. In 2007 the Miss Piggies played five social games of which they won two. Since this beginning the girls have made the Semifinals of the ACT Comp many times including 2012. The Club also has a very strong Golden Oldies team “The Soreboars” who are committed to enjoying their rugby and travel to various carnivals throughout the year. The Club started with its home at The Banjo Paterson Inn but with the expansion of the club has now moved to major sponsors the Lake Jindabyne Hotel. Over the last 29 years nearly every business in Jindabyne has sponsored the club in some way and many of them continue today. Pictured, Harry and the next generation of Bushpigs.
The Coaches Word- Matt Tripet
Reflecting on this year’s Bush Pig season it has certainly been a remarkable and humbling experience for me as a coach, captain and more importantly as a teammate. We as a team have been able to add a few amazing chapters to the club’s history books, achieving a number of significant milestones. Out of all those achievements the most important is that we have been able to bring the grandfinal home to Jindabyne for the first time in the club’s history. The results that have been achieved to date are a reflection of the senior player’s dedication to each other and the fantastic club whose banner we proudly play under. As a member within the Jindabyne community, club and team we should be very proud of the achievements we have all had a part in throughout the year and be excited with the prospects that will be presented before us on grandfinal day. The one chapter left that remains unwritten for this year will unfold on September 1 and fingers crossed it will end with a happy ending. All the records we achieved this year and all the great results we earned were only a vehicle to put us in the position we are in today and nothing more. Being brilliant on September 1 is not the scoreboards or the wins in the past, it will come down
to looking at our brother and sister in the eye knowing we didn’t let them down with the 80 minutes of opportunity we had on that field and in the grand stands. Great moments are born with opportunity and that is what we have as a player group and as a club. So I ask everyone in this fantastic town and club to back a very special bunch of young men on the field on September 1 and be a part of the journey that could see us do something that has not been achieved before. We as a community, club and as a player group should embrace the challenge before us and only together we will achieve great things. Thank you for all your support this year and I look forward to taking this journey with you all! Dress in green and cheer loud!

Congratulates the
Who would have guessed at the season beginnings that these two teams would be playing one another in grand final? Who would have guessed that the Bushpigs would be playing in a home final? So it brings us to the last game of the season, the ultimate prize at the end the 2012 Premiers of the Monaro Two competition. The Bushpigs the most consistent team in the competition this season find themselves for the first time in its club history in hosting a grand final. The team has put an impressive season together with a healthy for and against that many teams and coaches would relish. Its season results against Crookwell have been impressive clocking up plenty of points in the victories including a 76- 13 and recently a 56-0 wins in Jindabyne and also a narrow 37 -34 win in Crookwell when Bushpigs five eight Jake Roarty converted a penalty after the siren. However, the season that has been is nothing to go for going into finals. The Dogs put on an impressive display to blow away the Taralga Tigers 30- 12 in the preliminary final over the weekend. The Tigers the only team to test the Bushpigs this season were favourites to be coming back to Jindabyne to play off for the grand final; however something must have been put
in the water in Crookwell after their dominating display. The Dogs are team that Bushpigs must be very aware of, take it back to the Preliminary final last season where the Bushpigs were all money to go on to make it to the grand final only to be up staged by a more determined Dogs team in Jindabyne. Even though this season results have been in favour of the home side this year, there will be no doubt that the Dogs lead by their captain Gearin Price and Coach James Mc Cormack will ensure that all their players are firing for the special occasion. The Dogs would be still hurting from its 20-6 grand final loss last season to the Bungendore Mudchooks and will be looking to rectify this. The last time the Dogs went on to win a GF was in 2004 when they defeated the Bushpigs in Crookwell. Bushpigs coach Matt Tripet will be looking for big performances from Matthew Caldwell, Michael Bottom and John Field to ensure that the Premiership trophy remains in Jindabyne for a season. Let’s hope history doesn’t repeat itself and history is created at John Connors Oval this weekend. Come along and support the Bushpigs in their quest for glory. GO THE PIGS!

Under 15s Bushpigs
August saw the Jindabyne “Bushpigs” Under 15s team play at home against Wests who travelled from Canberra in the final game of the regular season. The game started strong and our forwards dominated through out with some very tough rucks and mauls gaining some much valuable ground through the centre of the field. We went to the half time break down 7-5. The second half was much like the first with our forwards again dominating. With some sensational ground made by Kurtis Atkinson and Daniel Cross, and two excellent tries scored
by Drew Turner one by Luke Teine, one by Jess Cooper and some fantastic conversions by Jordan Lewis. Our back line got a little extra ball in the second half with some excellent runs by Liam Allen, Bailey Farmer and Daniel Hunter. The whole team played exceptionally well with some amazing tacking and ball control, and we came away with a 26-19 win. Well done to all the boys and good luck as we now head to the grand finals this week in Canberra.

Jindabyne under 10 Piglets v Queanbeyan semi-final From the players...Mitch Thrum, Ben From The Coach... Taylor and Jake Taylor John Taylor Today we went to Queanbeyan to play our semi-final. We tried our hardest. Bryce Robinson scored one try and we all got player of the day. Thank you to our coach and all the supporters that came to watch us today. It doesn’t matter about winning or losing as long as you tried your best and had some fun. Thank you to all our sponsors – especially Gloria Jeans who gave the whole team a delicious drink every time we won a game!!! We look forward to seeing you next year for season 2013. Go the senior BushPigs and under 15’s next Saturday in your grand finals. We will be there to cheer you on!!
Congratulations to the mighty under 10 piglets! When we started the year we only had three team members that had ever played rugby before so to finish equal second on the ladder and make it to the semi-finals was a great achievement!! In the semi-final match against Queanbeyan it was 7-7 with only 10 minutes to go before two quick tries to Queanbeyan sealed the match for them. This showed how evenly matched the semifinal teams were – it was a great season with some very entertaining rugby. A big thank you to all the parents who helped throughout the season and for making the effort to get the players to training and the games. We look forward to another successful season in 2013.
Bushpigs mascot Sir Gruntsalot will be on hand on Saturday to cheer thew club to victory.

Red Devils Reserves taking on the Goulburn Dirty Reds... The Cooma Red Devils reserve grade side this week take on the Goulburn Dirty Reds in the ACT/Monaro First Division Second Grade Grand Final on Saturday afternoon. Cooma has had a successful year finishing in second spot on the ladder after blowing the chance to finish minor premiers by losing to Hall and Goulburn in the last two games of the round. Finishing second though allowed Cooma to have two chances at making the final but they only needed the first week after defeating Hall in the Major Semi Final last week and giving them the week off. This week off will have allowed the Cooma players the chance to get over any niggling injuries that have been hampering them. The game on Saturday will be a real arm wrestle with both sides having won one game each and the other being a draw. Although Goulburn will have the advantage of playing at home with their first grade side playing Yass in the other Grand Final. This will only make Cooma more
determined to travel there and bring back the silverware. The Cooma side will be looking for the forwards to set a good platform from both set pieces with the experience of Mark Fraser, Adam Schofield, Chris Robinson and Gary Moore to take the side forward early. Look for the back rowers of Brett Jones, Matt Gibbs, Tom McGuire and Dean Perry to be all over the opposition in both defence and attack. Aron Rogers will be leading from the front as always and his big game experience will lift the others around him, been halfback he will be the link between the forwards and backs. In the backs it will be defence that goes a long way to winning the game so look for Tom Laddams, Credence Bartlett and Phil Johnson to lead this while Nathan Boate and Neil Schouten will need to have their kicking boots on so Cooma can dictate terms during the game. The Red Devils would like to see your support in Goulburn on Saturday afternoon so letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get everyone to Goulburn and paint the town red and bring home the cup.

Colts win through to major semis Frank Butchery U13 Frank’s Butchery Under 13s are through to the major semi finals this Sunday. The boys are playing well and have found form at the right end of the season. The boys had a hit out on the weekend to their fitness up and mind on the job. The boys play this Sunday at 12 pm at Braddon Oval, ACT. Best of Luck boys! The Australian Hotel U15 The Australian Hotel Under 15s Cooma Colts took on West Belconnen Blue at Northbourne Oval last Sunday evening in a do or die Minor Semi Final with the loser hanging up their boots until next season. Both teams were looking to assert themselves early on with tough defence. After receiving two penalties, Cooma were unlucky not to score when Josh Zammit charged over the line only to have the ball knocked from his hands. It took until the 18th minute of the game before the first points were scored with Andrew Crimmins diving over for a try wide out following good lead up work by the Cooma forwards with bustling ball running. In the very next set, Jeremy Mackay made an incisive run down field, the ball was spread to the right only to be put down in an attacking position.
The score remained at 4-0 in Cooma’s favour at half time. Cooma started well in the second half with their first set ending with a Josh Steinke grubber kick, coupled with a great chase forcing an error from West Belconnen. This resulted in Andrew Crimmins getting the ball and diving over to the left of the posts for an 8-0 lead. The Cooma attack was starting to cut holes in the West Belconnen defence, only for their handling to let them down. Andrew Crimmins hung onto a Josh Steinke pass to crash over for his (and Cooma’s) third try for the game and a 12-0 lead after 10 minutes. West Belconnen were their own worst enemies, giving away penalties, then having a player sent to the sin bin for ten minutes for a high tackle. Following sustained pressure from Cooma, Josh Zammit was able to add his name to the try scorers list with a good individual effort. Josh Steinke added the goal for an 18-0 lead with seven minutes left to play. West Belconnen managed two tries and had another disallowed over the next four minutes when Cooma’s defence went to sleep to close the gap in the scores to 18-10. The Cooma boys managed to hang onto this lead until full time
to come away with a hard fought, but well deserved victory. Coach, Jason Kelly praised all the players for their efforts, for toughing it out in a game they were probably expected to win, but had to fight hard to come out on top of their opposition. Enjoy the week off boys and now build for the next game – a shot at playing in the Grand Final. South East Embroidery Under 12s have made it to the top and are Minor Premiers for 2012.
The boys have all had a tremendous year this year. They have all put in 100 percent and proved to themselves, as well as to the coach, Richard Inskip, that they are all more than deserving of being the Minor Premiers. They have won all but two games all season, and that is their reward for playing as a great team and using their skill and determination to win, and play the game that they love. We have had a few new
members to the team, and they have slotted in like they have been with the boys for years. This group of under 12’s boys are recognised for their ability to play football but also their ability to become great mates. The boys will play their first semi finals in Canberra on the September 2, 2012, and I know that I, as well as the parents wish the boys all the best. Pictured, the Under 13s.
Under 12 Red Devils play the game of the season in semi The Sports Power U12 Red Devils played the game of their lives in the semifinal against Marist but were defeated 19 – 0. This score was certainly no indication of the game. Their first season in the top division playing against Marist the reigning premiers would have been a bit daunting for the Devils but they all rose to the challenge and showed Marist and all who were lucky enough to watch what a good side they are. From the kick off the Devil’s game was played with huge intensity from both teams with Devils matching them across the field until weight of possession lead to a Marist converted try. This fired the Devils even more and they hit back straight away with Peter Tangye appearing to score
under the posts only to have it disallowed. The Devils didn’t drop their heads and were desperate to equalise. With ball possession everything, the Devil’s forwards were outstanding, constantly over powering the Marist scrum and winning the ball against the feed, they attacked the Marist line and were unlucky not to score.
Marist’s slick backline extended their lead with a converted try in the corner to lead 14 – 0, this score remained until half time. The second half was just as intense with the Devils forwards still dominating the scrums and winning a lot of possession. Great ball control and cleaning out had the Devils pressuring Marist’s
line constantly but the Marist defence scrambled and kept them out again. Oscar Litchfield made a fantastic break down the sideline and with only the fullback to beat was caught in a try saving tackle. The momentum stayed with the Devils for most of the second half, but they just weren’t able to score. With time running out, Marist sealed their win 19-0 with a late try. Three points to all players this week. The Devils can be very proud of themselves making the finals and topping off a fantastic season. Big thanks to Coach Peter Ingram for a great year.

Cooma women state pennants runners-up
Cooma Women’s Bowling Club was represented at the recent state pennants play-off at Tuncurry/Forster Bowling Clubs. Two teams attended: Team one – Margherita Zasso, Kath Sach, Olga Jebbink, Maureen D’Amico; Team two – Leonie Snell, Lorraine West, Helen Peuker, Dawn Russell. Reserve Daphne Fraser and team manager Hazel Walker. A few of the bowlers arrived on Friday afternoon to wind, rain and very loud thunderstorms. The others arrived on Saturday to overcast skies and pouring rain. On Sunday they checked out the venues and found they were more like pools than bowling greens – they had a feeling they may have travelled all that way for nothing. Monday morning started to look better. Luckily this was a practise day and Forster greens were still quite soggy but the rain was holding off. The bowlers thought the heavier greens would be more of an advantage to them than
the dry fast ones they had been preparing themselves for. On Tuesday morning the bowlers first game was against the local Manning Point teams. The greens were quite soggy but the bowlers felt comfortable and were unfortunate not to come out with all five points, but were happy with four, Margherita’s team winning 21-11 and Leonie’s team losing 18-19. In the afternoon the game was against Bowral. By this time the greens were drying out but the bowlers were determined they had not travelled all that way for nothing and were pleased to collect four points again – this time Leonie’s team won 21-11, Margherita’s team down 13-18. Wednesday morning was basked in sunshine and the bowlers we up against Weethalle, another small town team which was struggling with the fierce competition. The bowlers knew we could not take anyone with ease and this time won both rinks and the total five points which gave them a total
of 13 points to be sectional winners over Manning Point on 10 and this encouraged them to do better. The teams then battled the section winners, firstly Maitland City, winning both rinks and won all five points, Margherita’s team winning 22-12 and Leonie’s team 2416. In the afternoon, Cooma played RSL Sussex Inlet who were also on five. Although all the bowlers did their best, they were only able to win one rink and lost the aggregate. Unfortunately, due to a hiccup on the score card, Cooma found out the next morning they had lost the point and would have to give their all in the last game against Walla Walla/Oaklands who had a tough battle with Maitland the previous afternoon. The game was played at Tuncurry with all the grade one, two and three winners, Even State Champion Kate Murphy was playing and Dawn was so excited after shaking hands with her the previous night,
when she wished us well. After a good start it looked that we might get through with full points but the determination of Walla Walla was not to be underestimated, Leonie’s team 18 all on the last end and the oppostion was able to get a two point win. Margherita’s team won 32-10. The final point scores were RSL Sussex Inlet to top 14 points, Cooma 9, Maitland 5, Walla Walla Oaklands 2. This was tremendous effort by all the girls – to win the runner-sup flag against so many other teams. Thanks go to Hazel and Daphne who supported the team each day, the supporters that turned up each day to encourage, even our past president Val, their sponsors and members of the community and district who helped them raise the money to enable the 10 bowlers to go together. To everyone who wished the bowlers good luck and sent messages, thank you.

Monaro High in national interschools x-c skiing Kai Bakker, Pierre Wall and Tim Wall skied out of their skins in the Interschools years 9 and 10 cross-country ski relay at Perisher on Tuesday 21 August 2012, to claim third place in a big field of talented skiers. The boys skied hard for their Monaro High School team. Each outdid their results from the individual races held earlier. With the first five going through, the boys will represent Monaro High in the National Interschools Cross-Country Championship on 5 September 2012. That will be the second year running where Monaro High has been represented - last year the Division 1 girls (years 11 and 12) won the National Championship at Falls Creek with a team of Gabi Cigana, Louisa Wall and Linda (an exchange student from Finland). The achievement was all the better given the ages of the boys - Division 2 relay is for those in years 9 and 10, with skiers aged mostly between 14 and 16. Kai is in year 10 at Monaro, aged 15, Tim in year 9 aged 14, and Pierre Wall is in year 7, aged 12. It was an exciting race. On the first lap Hamish Roberts led the field by quite a margin. Kai Bakker fought for second position in a pack of three or four skiers, and held his position up the hill and
down into the interchange area. It was a great effort to send off Pierre Wall in second place. Kai gave it everything. Pierre kept his skating tempo high all the way. Skiing with many skiers up to four years older than him, Pierre was passed by one skier, but held onto a very close third place. A great effort from Pierre, on his third cross-country ski of the season. Soon Tim had moved into second place. Matthew Bull from Trinity Grammar tailed Tim, who was leading by about 15 metres. Along the flat Tim gave it everything and stretched his lead on Matthew. Out of sheer exhaustion Tim stumbled on the first small uphill, but was quickly to his feet. Matthew closed in and got past him on the uphill. But the race wasn’t over. At the top of the hill Tim was about 30 metres behind his rival for second place. He worked hard, skating and poling to catch him up on a fast downhill, and closed to about five metres as they hit the finishing straight. Tim went to go right around some skiers heading to the interchange area, then left to the finishing shute, and lost five metres. With Tim 10 metres behind, both skiers gave it everything. Tim crossed the line in third place by about five
metres, collapsing to the snow in ahead to the Nationals relay on exhaustion. Wednesday September 5. In the individual Division 2 race held before the relays, there was an exciting finish between Kai Pictured, MHS students Kai and Tim. With a fast finish, Kai got past Tim into fourth place, with Tim right behind in fifth. Pierre in Division 3, years 7 and 8, was still finding his ski legs and came 11th in a field of 44. Well done to the boys pulling out all stops to make third in a hotly contested relay. It was great to see the sportsmanship of all the boys shaking hands on the podium at the presentation. They are all looking

on the Monaro
The Cooma Stallions under 18s rugby league team were beaten in the last 60 seconds by Bega in the elimination semi final on Sunday at the Bega Showground after looking all over winners with five minutes to go. In a fantastic game of football the Cooma lads played their hearts outs leading most of the way and at 14 – 10 at halftime the game was typical semi final football, tough, uncompromising football with either team capable of winning. The second half started great for Cooma as centre Cronan ran on to a great backline move to run 70 metres to score. Cooma led 18 – 10. The game then got even tougher with both sides
trying to gain the ascendency in a do or die game. Cooma had several chances to put the game to bed but just fell short. The coaching staff from both sides as well as the crowd were nervous knowing this was going down to the wire, and with just seconds remaining a Cooma mistake gave Bega a chance to win the game, and on the final play of the game they did just that, scoring the winning try that broke Cooma’s hearts and aspirations with the score ending 22-18 in Bega’s favour. Cooma heartbroken, you could hear that famous song ring around the ground it’s never over till that fat sheila sings. The better team on the day had been pipped on
the post. The Cooma stallions under 18s have done themselves and the club proud with their never say die attitude throughout the season always turning up to play. All players can be proud to be a Cooma Stallion with their efforts being first class. The coaching staff would like to thank all players and parents for the year and hope to see everyone at the presentation night on September 21. Pictured, a strong-running Dean Byrne takes on the defence at Bega on Saturday. The under 18s can be very proud of the way they played this season.
