Snowy River day

Last Saturday the three guest speakers for the Snowy River day, Jane Roberts, Chair of the first Snowy Scientific Committee, Simon Williams from the Office of Water - Director of the Snowy Flow Response Monitoring Program, and Brett Miners Southern Rivers Catchment Authority, landscape, really nailed it. The information was delivered in a way that was 10 Litres easy to comprehend, with less technical jargon and plenty was $164.99 of photographs in their powerpoint display. The Dalgety and District Community Association hosted the day, with its NOW $99 president Vickii Wallace being impressed by the speakers, 4 Litres saying “Jane, Simon and Brett were fantastic, providing charts was $72.99 and graphs that you could actually understand. “ The background information delivered by the speakers made NOW $49.99 many at the meeting more aware of the behind the scenes *Sale ends 30 September or until sold out. work. Due to its nature much of this has gone unnoticed by the general public. It needs to be recognised that it is this, along with the public pressure on past and current governments, 1 - 3 Sharp St, Cooma Ph: 6452 1736 which will now result in this most significant water event. A total of 83 gigalitres of water (the equivalent of 83,000 Olympic swimming pools) will be dispersed over a two-week period, with daily releases spiking at the 12-gigalitre mark. This peak water is expected to hang around Mobile: 0418 620 626 for a few days and will provide the Cooma: (02) 6452 1598 Snowy with more water than it Sydney : (02) 9531 7550 has seen for almost half a century.

Later on the group moved to Dalgety Public School where Hannah Baldry from the Office of Water walked the locals though a view on Google maps, showing the current state of the Snowy. Then turning on an overlay comparison of the expected inundation of water via an interactive application, available on their website. It covers the length of the river from the Dam Wall to the Victorian boarder. This means anyone who is at all concerned about where the water might go, will be able to identify this, but it will be especially valuable for those landholders who own properties on the Snowy.

Snowy River Day was a wonderful opportunity to showcase details of this much-awaited event. It is acknowledged by all, that there are many challenges ahead. The items recognised on the day that are close to the hearts of the locals and high on the agenda are, a natural head water for the Snowy in the form of the Moonbah River and also delivery of water to upper montane sections of the river. These stretches of the Snowy are still high and dry, apparently due to infrastructure work remaining uncompleted. Both these issues were raised with the speakers during a “question and answer time”, with positive comments forthcoming from Simon Williams.

The DDCA along with the Snowy River Alliance are planning a special picnic day in recognition of the passing of Zara Hetherington-Struik, who was very special member of both teams. The date is yet to be announced but it will coincide with this major flow event for the Snowy River.

Yallambee Lodge Fire

Emergency services responded to an urgent call from Yallambee Lodge Hostel on Wednesday evening when a fire broke out in the laundry of Building 2, filling the entire block with smoke.

The fire began when the ceiling fan in the laundry caught fire, setting off the smoke alarms as it spread swiftly through the building. The Fire and Rescue crew received the call at 8.55pm as the Yallambee staff put their emergency fire procedure into action and evacuated the eight residents of the building to a specified area.

Fire Station Commander, Captain Chris Reeks, commended the Yallambee staff on their speedy and efficient response to the fire situation “It all went very well” Mr Reeks said. “The Lodge has a fire emergency procedure in place and they followed it.

Everyone co-operated and they did a great job in keeping the situation under control.”

Once the fire had been extinguished, ambulance officers at the scene checked the eight evacuees to ensure they were well and also checked the Hostel’s other residents in case they had been distressed by the emergency.

The building was ventilated and following consultation with the fire service and the ambulance officers, the residents were able to return to their rooms.

Cooma-Monaro Shire Council’s General Manager, Mr John Vucic, has called for an investigation into the fire and any recommended modifications to the electrical system and other safety measures would be implemented.

New Controller for Snowy SES The Snowy River SES team held a get-together July 5 at their Leesville, Jindabyne headquarters to express their thanks to retired Controller, Les Threlfo, for his 10 great years on the job and to welcome the new Controller, Mike Wilson, to the position.

Mike, who joined the SES in 2004, expressed his commitment to continuing the invaluable service that the SES provides to the community. “The Snowy River SES is one of the more successful units in the region and certainly one of the most successful country units and I want to keep that going, improve the unit and carry on Les’s legacy.” Mike said.

Mike added that Les was also instrumental in obtaining the much needed funds for the Leesville facility’s extensions, which will be happening in the near future.

“Les has been a fantastic Controller for the last 10 years and has got us a lot of equipment that we wouldn’t otherwise have had.”

Many of the rural SES units in NSW are struggling for new members but the Snowy River unit is actually growing thanks to the advocacy and dedication of Les Threlfo. Les has confirmed that he intends to remain active in the SES for the moment adding that with 60 committed

members, the unit will continue to be very active in its service to the community.

Due to Les’s efforts, the team is very well equipped for search and rescue work with two road rescue trucks, two cars plus they will ultimately have seven skidoos and a fully equipped boat to round out their rescue kit.

“I have helped to bring safety into this Shire.’ Les said “People have paid the money though their rates and they have received good value for it.”

Pictured front from left is Ebony Layton, Cara Yates and Josie Levkich.

The Cooma Monaro region was lit up with yellow last Friday, August 26 as the community celebrated and supported the Cancer Council’s 25th annual Daffodil Day. There were a number of stalls around the region selling various merchandise as well as activities in Centennial Park.

The money raised from the stall operated by Sue PetersSmith in Centennial Plaza and the activities in the park totalled a generous $1200.

Throughout the week, youth of the town in conjunction with the Hub and Youth Development Officer, Emma Green, made paper daffodils which they wore and planted in the park on Friday.

To further support the annual fundraiser, Cooma Monaro Shire Council formed an official partnership with Cancer Council NSW. Mayor Dean Lynch attended the activities in Centennial Park on Friday to accept a certificate outlining the newly formed partnership from the Cancer Council Regional Programs Coordinator, Toby Dawson.

“Its very exciting to see the initiative that Cooma Monaro Shire Council has taken in forming this partnership,” Mr Dawson said.

“It gives greater opportunity for providing a cancer smart community for the residents of the shire and will help improve the ability to provide education programs and policy advice to the council and their employees.”

In 25 years Daffodil Day has raised over $100m with $40m going to cancer research. All funds raised through Daffodil Day help Cancer Council fund vital cancer research, prevention, information and support services, including the Cancer Helpline (13 11 20).

Farmers rally against carbon tax

News

5

Lisa Ashurst Coming hot on the heels of the rally of August 16, the “Convoy of No Confidence” rally held outside Parliament House on Monday August 22 just confirms the growing public discontent with the Labor government and the continued opposition to the government’s determination to impose a carbon tax on Australia.

While the numbers were down on previous rallies, the opposition to the tax is as strong as ever and the rally was still very well attended according to local resident, Mrs Sue Litchfield, who took exception to the comment by Greens leader Bob Brown who said the rally was “a bit of a flop” and the comment from Senior Minister Anthony Albanese, who labelled the rally a “convoy of no consequence” has also angered several people.

“It was an insult to call it a flop” Mrs Litchfield said “If they are calling it a flop then they don’t appreciate rural Australians!”

Many people travelled over great distances to attend the rally and the general feeling is that Monday’s rally should be seen as a clear indicator that the rural people and service industries do not want a carbon tax.

There were reports of police stopping trucks at the border and drivers claiming they were being denied their democratic rights by being prevented from getting close to Parliament House however, police deny they were stopping the trucks or blocking their access.

Various speakers bolstered the crowd, giving strong speeches in support of the rally and those who attended felt it still sent a strong anti carbon tax message to the Gillard government despite the smaller crowd.

One of the participants in the carbon tax rally held in Canberra last week.

The rally was strongly supported by Opposition Leader Tony Abbot along with Warren Truss and Barnarby Joyce and the common theme running through the event was the repeated call for a new election. Mainly, the people are determined to continue to fight the introduction of the carbon tax and are hoping to force a government backdown.

Further rallies could follow in the countdown to the introduction of the tax in 2012.

The Prime Minister did not attend Monday’s rally.

postman calls

Bureaucracy never ceases to amaze (and annoy) The Postman. Take, for instance, Centrelink.

The Postman was shown a Centrelink statement of earnings, which was pretty self-explanatory, except for a couple of interesting questions which highlights the ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach doesn’t necessarily always work.

The statement was for an aged pensioner, which would, one guesses, mean people aged 65 and over.

So the questions concerning additons to the family seems a little unnecessary.

The question about having HAD a baby would also seem irrelevent to most people aged 65 and over. But, miracles or immaculate contraptions as the Postman’s old dad would say, may still occur. Or not.

The whole thing just seems to bundle people into a loose arrangement of categories which don’t necessarily fit the bill.

Mobility is a pretty big thing to all of us, which is why we see so many people out and about on their motorised scooters.

There is a lot to be said about maintaining one’s independece for as long as possible, so these little beauties are great. So is the assistance local retailer Heinz Gloor has been giving to scooter owners, like the Bombala Trailblazers.

The Trailblazers have learnt heaps about maintaining their wheels, so thanks Heinz, for being such a good egg.

With spring arriving tomorrow, The Postman wonders what the warmer weather will bring for the Monaro.

Certainly recent rain has given The Postman’s lawn a vibrant new colour.

Won’t be long before the lawnmowers are revving up again. What joy!

At least the blossoms are brightening up the place after a fairly dull winter.

Pharmacy monopoly In regards to “not happy with monopoly” (August 10).

We are also long time residents of this area having lived here for 45 years and are regular users of pharmacies in Jindabyne, Berridale and Cooma. We have never received discounts from any of these chemists but find them very helpful and well stocked for our needs. If by chance items we require are not in stock, they are usually there the next day. You may have forgotten that we are still country towns. We think the service is great in all the shops

and as far as the staff goes in Cooma, some have been there for over 15 years.

The Cooma shops also deliver to the elderly and incapacitated in the town area as well as Yallambee Hostel and Sir William Hudson nursing home. These are a service to the community.

We and most people we know are happy with the service.

Carbon tax Editor, As it was raining, I started thinking about the future as I read the Federal Government Carbon Price booklet and what carbon pricing will mean to you and me.

I have written to Mr Mike Kelly for some answers and he was very helpful. It isn’t easy getting answers from politicians as, while their answers are eloquent enough, they lack any real weight, being mainly empty promises. These are the same promises given by previous governments, jumping from one thing to another and now we have the Carbon Tax. But where did it all come from? Monte Carlo in February 2008 where bankers, economists, greens, politicians, the UN, the IPCC and various financial cartel heads who celebrated the birth of the dynamic new world of carbon capitalism.

The flyer states “The science of climate change is clear and no responsible government can ignore this advice. The Current Labor Government has developed a comprehensive plan to tackle climate change.” Then it goes on to say “This plan has the support of the independents and will be introduced next year.” I didn’t vote for the independents so how can they dictate to me what is right or wrong!

Because the scientists have

raised differing views, those who have disagreed have been silenced or demoted. Carbon is an element of the non-metals common to all organic substances including human beings and I asked in my letter to Mr Kelly if it was C12, C13, C14, charcoal, diamonds, graphite or active carbon that we were talking about? We sell coal to China so what is going to happen to the carbon produced there?

Our closest underdeveloped neighbour who provided us with financial assistance (Indonesia) will not have a carbon tax despite their high population so what will be their carbon cut? We assist them so they can sell fuel (petrol and diesel) for $0.38 cents per litre.

They generate far more pollution than we do.

For politicians to believe that market forces can be used to fix climate change is to believe in magic!

To quote former US President, Thomas Jefferson, “To compel a man to subsidise with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.” Of course, Julia Gillard is only the mouthpiece for the green President who plots the course. There must be a commission in it!

Our Frank Prihoda

Wednesday night in Thredbo belonged to Frank Prihoda, when 100 members of the Thredbo Historical Society, residents and guests including his cousins from Prague, Czechoslovakia, paid tribute to him. Frank recently celebrated his 90th birthday.

Jerry Krejzar and Michelle Reichinger hosted “Our Frank” which took the form of visual images of Frank’s life and a moving speech by Michelle about his contribution to Thredbo village life.

Frank Prihoda was born in Prague on July 8, 1921.

After a happy childhood and the traumatic years of the Nazi regime Frank, together with his elder sister Sasha and her husband Karel Nekvapil, fled their homeland of

Czechoslovakia to arrive in Australia in 1950.

The early years were spent in Melbourne, commuting to Mt Buller where Frank played an active part in the skiing community. He was on the board of the Victorian Ski Federation and in 1956 represented Australia at the Winter Olympics in Cortina, Italy.

In 1974 Frank settled in Thredbo and opened his gift shop. During the following years he was active in the Thredbo community and on the Masters ski racing circuit both in Australia and overseas.

In 2000 he and sister Sash both carried the Olympic torch in Thredbo and Frank was awarded the honour of lighting the Thredbo Olympic cauldron.

F r a n k ’s Shop was relocated to the Mowamba Place in 1992.

In 2001 Frank retired from

Organised by the Thredbo Historical Society, the evening was held at the Knickerbocker Bar and Restaurant, included an auction and raffle to raise funds for the Society which operates the Thredbo Ski Museum. Reggae Ellis was the lively auctioneer who convinced people to generously bid for the items on offer.

The Thredbo Historical Society thanks the following businesses and people who generously sponsored the auction and raffle: Kosciuszko Thredbo Pty Ltd, Phoenix Leisure Group, Rip Curl Thredbo, Michelles of Thredbo, Hot Shots Photography, Sante Churrasco Restaurant, Kareela Hutte, High Country Outfitters Jindabyne, Monchichi Gift Shop Jindabyne, Graeme Holloway, Frank Prihoda, K7 Adventures, Mountain Adventures and Jindabyne Sports.

Cooma Hospital Auxiliary News The Cooma Hospital Auxiliary held its Annual General Meeting on August 11 at 2pm preceded by their general meeting at 11am and a shared lunch that was enjoyed by all.

Ms Christine Smith from the Moruya Hospital Auxiliary, who is Deputy Regional Reprehensive of South East Region, United Hospital Auxiliaries of New South Wales was in attendance and praised the work done by such a small auxiliary as Cooma Hospital Auxiliary, the auxiliary which donated in excess of $27000 of equipment to Cooma Hospital in the last 12 months. This equipment stays in our local hospital for the benefit of patients using the health service in this area. Ms Smith sympathised with the auxiliary for being unable to recruit new members, as it is such a rewarding experience to be able to give something back into the community for the benefit of the community. Ms Smith said raising funds to purchase equipment for the hospital is especially important as we never know when you or one of your loved ones may need this service.

Office bearers elected are: President: Janette Langwill, Vice President: Robin Fletcher, Vice President 2: Helena Reeves, Secretary: Jan Carpenter, Ass. Secretary: Hazel Walker, Treasurer: Mary McKee, Ass. Treasurer: Christa Harlander, Publicity Officer: Jan Carpenter, Kiosk Person: Mary McKee. The guest speaker for the meeting was Ms Sue Gorringe Lupton and Sue explained the services available at the new Werri-Nina Centre in Sharp Street. The centre is funded to provide several types of basic home services to assist eligible older people and younger people with a disability to continue living in their own homes - Home and Community Care, known as HACC. The centre has a very extensive contact program and caters for all needs and every one is welcome to drop in.

Just arrived at the hospital are five high back

chairs with adjustable, removable armrests, a reclining backrest and mobile base and five utility chairs with multi-purpose adjustable seating for A level rehab, purchased by the auxiliary with the help of a generous donation by the Cooma Defence Centre Social Club. The chairs will make it easier for rehab patients to sit down and to alight from. Thank you to the Defence Social Club.

The auxiliary jointly with funding from the Capsule Fund have recently ordered a cordless CTG unit ($14863.20) for the Cooma Maternity Unit. Use of the CTG is the only way women can be continuously monitored during labour.

CTG provides a picture of the baby’s well being and alerts to any signs of distress during labour. The CTG is a new age advancement in foetal monitoring which eliminates cables while monitoring the patient.

It has been brought to the auxiliaries attention that the maternity unit is in need of a new birthing bed as the current bed being used is approximately 30 years old and does not work as it should and the bed is not Bariatric rated and could be a safety concern, the mattress section will soon need replacing. A new bed will give greater comfort and positioning options for women in labour and better for midwives and doctors especially for emergency procedures.

The Cooma Hospital Auxiliary’s fundraising will focus on trying to provide the requested bed, which will cost approximately $18000. At present the auxiliary are running a raffle with a $500 prize of gift vouchers for fuel and groceries. Tickets are available from members of the auxiliary at the hospital. If you would like to help the auxiliary all donations would be greatly appreciated.

The Cooma Hospital Auxiliary meets on the second Thursday of the month at 2:pm in the Education Centre at the Cooma Hospital.

St Pats students entertain residents at Sir William Hudson

Students from St Patrick’s visited the Sir William Hudson Nursing Home on Tuesday to entertain and spend time with the residents. One group of twenty two guitarists led by Mrs Spencer played musical items and facilitated a sing-along. The Secondary choir and performance group enjoyed the opportunity to present items they have been Sing Series. It was an enjoyable afternoon and working on.

The Primary choir performed songs from the ABC the students hope to return next term.

Sue to speak at teachers’ conference in Sydney

Cooma Public School teacher, Susan Burke, with her Year 5 class and the interactive whiteboard in use.

Local school teacher Susan Burke, from Cooma Public School (CPS), is heading to Sydney in October to present some exciting new technology to her peers.

Mrs Burke will speak at the national “See, Share, Shape the Future” teachers’ conference at the Sydney Church of England Grammar School.

Conference organisers approached Susan after seeing her share her ideas during a videoconference and she is very excited to have the opportunity to be involved in such a high profile event.

The two-day conference will showcase cutting-edge innovations on how to use interactive whiteboards (IWB) to enhance student learning.

At Cooma Public School, each classroom boasts an IWB, a touchsensitive screen that works in conjunction with a computer and a

projector.

These affect learning in several ways, including raising the level of student engagement, motivating students and promoting enthusiasm for learning.

IWB support many different learning styles.

Mrs Burke said learning with the IWBs can assist students learning, using kinaesthetic, as well as visual and aural senses.

She said children learn in different ways – the IWBs promote learning using those senses.

The programs used on the IWB can be designed by teachers to suit the needs of their students and can complement the standard programs available.

It is this customisation which Mrs Burke will be speaking about at the conference.

Arts community support the formation of a 355 arts committee More than 50 representatives from the arts and cultural community of Cooma gathered at the council chambers last Thursday evening, August 25, to discuss the feasibility of a proposed 355 arts and cultural committee.

The meeting attracted people from a diverse amount of disciplines ranging from visual arts and music to dramatic arts and dance.

Instigator of the meeting, Councillor Stephanie McDonald, said “It was an overwhelming endorsement for such a need for the community and an example of how the town and council should be working together”.

“It gave such a good indication of the willingness of the arts community to collaborate,” she added.

As well as the large crowd who attended, there were also at least a dozen apologies from people who also

supported the formation of such a committee but who couldn’t be there on the night.

Mayor Dean Lynch also attended the meeting and showed a positive and supportive attitude towards the arts in the community.

Councillor McDonald also commented, “The arts in the community are not celebrated or promoted as much as they should be”.

“I recognise that we have strong arts and culture in the community and that a committee such as this will make it even stronger and robust.”

A number of observations were made throughout the night including that the many disciplines within the arts need to support each other and that, at present, they are somewhat segregated.

A number of people spoke on behalf of particular groups and gave their input as to why they were in support of such a committee. Ideas ranged from topics such as introducing an arts festival to the area, to building a new multi-disciplinary hall with appropriate acoustics that can host larger performances and bigger audiences.

The decision to form a 355 arts and cultural committee will be made at the next council meeting on Monday September 12. People are encouraged to come and sit outside the council chambers and await the decision to show their support for the flourish of arts and culture in the community.

Census through the snowfields Census Collectors have a challenging job at the best of times but winter throughout the Monaro/Snowy Mountains region is a very different experience, especially for the team covering the snowfields. The challenge was not only the unique conditions but also in catching up with every visitor on the snow.

The Collectors worked hard to count all the travellers in the area at the time and are still very busy

with collecting forms from the local population.

If you haven’t completed your 2011 Census for as yet, it isn’t too late. Collectors will be around until the end of the month and the online eCensus option will be available until 5 September. More information can be found online at www.abs.gov. au/census or via the Census Inquiry Service on 1300 338 776.

Friends of Dalgety Women’s Day plan future direction for the event The driving force behind the Dalgety Women’s Day event organised a workshop recently to assess how the event has evolved and to look at how it should progress into the future.

Held at the Berridale Memorial Hall on July 19, the planning session also welcomed two new members to the committee, Cassie Seears of Bungarby and Jen Keioskie from the NSW Health Centre for Rural & Remote and Mental Health, Southern Health Network in Cooma.

The meeting, run by facilitator Barbara Pamphilon, was aimed at exploring the future direction of the Dalgety Women’s Day event, as well as defining the roles and responsibilities of the members themselves. The workshop also highlighted the positives as well as the challenges that face members of the committee.

Some of the challenges raised during the meeting focused on the

constantly changing format of the event itself and drew on previous years as well as the wishes and expectations of the community.

Feedback forms filled out by participants at the 2011 Dalgety Women’s Day, held in May, resulted in a lengthy list of positives which included such things as diversity, fun, entertainment value, the location being Dalgety, good organisation, connection between the women as well as forming new friendships, great speakers, interesting workshops and most definitely…the catering efforts of the CWA! If you would like some more information or are interested in joining the Friends of Dalgety Women’s Day Committee to help with the 2012 event, please contact co-ordinator Narelle Willems on 6457 1044 or 0421 792 870.

Work begins on Jindabyne outdoor stage The initial work on the new outdoor Jindabyne Community Stage, located at Claypits Park, got under way on July 25 as local builder, Michael Sell, got the project off to a good start when he commenced turning the earth, constructing the footings and pouring the concrete foundations in preparation for the much anticipated outdoor stage structure.

The stage has been long awaited by the local community and these first steps see it becoming a reality at last. Described by Michael as a challenging and complex structure, the project has been a major community effort with the

Mountain Life Church, the State Government and the Snowy River Shire Council all on board and working together to bring it to fruition.

It is expected the new outdoor stage will be essentially completed by September and the community believes it will be a valuable addition to the local scene as it has the potential to evolve into an ideal community tourism spot as well as a wonderful arts venue for the area. The location will also allow the stage to take full advantage of the stunning natural backdrop provided by the local terrain, especially that of Lake Jindabyne and the Snowy Mountains.

Council supports run

At the recent Cooma Monaro Shire meeting October 16.

The run is to be held in Cooma to raise funds council has decided to support the Snow Much More fun run by allocating $1400 towards for the Cooma Hospital and Snowy Hydro operational costs for the event being held on Southcare.

Platypus spotting walk The weekend’s showery conditions did not deter 25 keen people who attended the Platypus Spotting Walk along the Murrumbidgee River just before dusk on Saturday. Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch Facilitator, Tanya Rucosky Noakes lead the walk and instructed participants on what to look for when spotting Platypus. Ms Rucosky Noakes also gave a brief natural history of the platypus prior to the walk.

In terms of location, platypus are generally easiest to spot in places where the water surface is fairly flat and calm, which means that the ripples formed when as an animal moves are more conspicuous.

Especially at this time of year, a male platypus will sometimes swim along the surface for several hundred metres as he travels in search of breeding females or chases a rival male.

This movement creates a long, narrow wake behind the animal, often seen as a distinctive silvery streak in calm water.

More typically, a platypus will be seen diving and surfacing in a leisurely manner as it gathers food. A diving sequence begins with a platypus arching its back briefly as it launches itself downwards. It remains underwater for less than a minute, usually returning to the surface within 20 metres of where it was last seen. The platypus then floats on the surface for about 1030 seconds, chewing its mouthful of aquatic insects and worms thoroughly before again diving.

While floating on the surface, a platypus paddles gently with its front feet to avoid drifting downstream. This creates a conspicuous “bullseye” pattern of ripples, which is generally the first clue that a platypus is active in the area. Because

a platypus floats very low in the water, the animal’s body often resembles a piece of floating driftwood (about 40-50 centimetres long) at the centre of the ripples, with two rounded brown bumps marking the top of the head and rump. The concentric ripples strengthen as an animal dives, and then gradually fade away.

Although here are never any guarantees when looking for wildlife, August is a great time of year for people to watch for platypus, as the animals tend to be very active just before the onset of the spring breeding season.

Early morning and evening are the best times to look, although platypus are also sometimes seen right in the middle of the day.

Despite very calm conditions on Saturday, the walkers did not spot a platypus on the Murrumbidgee River, upstream of the pumping station, despite confirmed sightings in this area. A quick stop off at the Cooma Creek afterwards though lead to more success for the spotters, where a platypus could be heard, but the impending nightfall made visibility difficult.

The value in spotting platypus is not only enjoyment, but also in understanding more about the platypus, how many there are and where they are found, so actions to protect and bring back the species can be better focussed. It is for this reason that Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch has partnered with the Australian Platypus Conservancy to collect information about sightings and platypus activity. So if you spot a platypus or have in the past, please forward details to Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch by emailing tanya. rucoskynoakes@act.gov.au. Reports of water-rat sightings are also welcome as very little is known about the status of this attractive native rodent.

Many people appreciate the convenience of a gift registry when shopping for that special event so it’s going to be a very popular decision by Cooma Mitre 10 Store manager, Chris Fitzgerald, and Liv Manager, Carolyn Hayden, to introduce a full gift registry service in the store’s giftware section, Liv 4 Home & Kitchen.

Mr Fitzgerald and Carolyn had been mulling over the idea of providing such a service for some time, following feedback from the staff in Liv who had mentioned how often people shopping for a special event, and knowing the staff were often acquainted with who they were shopping for, would ask for advice on what type of gift the recipient might like.

The gift registry is already operational but plans are in the works to extend the service to make it even more convenient.

“The idea is to create a gift registry that will take the hassle out of choosing a gift, whether it’s for a wedding, a christening, a 21st birthday or whatever.” Carolyn explained “We want to make it easier for people shopping for a gift as well as for those who will be receiving the gift and our plan is to help shoppers by removing the guesswork.”

The beauty of a gift registry is not only that it allows people to make a list of the things they may need and/or would like, it also eliminates the chance of giving/ receiving duplicate gifts, so it’s very practical when planning

Are you using proven profitable genetics Two significant commercial trials have both completed their first shearings in 2011, the Peter Westblade Memorial Merino Challenge (Temora) and the Bookham Ag Bureau Wether Trial (Bookham). Under these two trials 83 teams are being evaluated.

Wether trials are run as commercial production evaluations providing a significant source of genetically benchmarked information and contributing to the national genetic Merino Bloodline Performance analysis.

Commercially run wether trials consist of randomly drafted teams. All teams are shorn on arrival and run together under fully commercial conditions, given the same nutritional, animal health and management opportunities.

The information presented from wether trials and the Merino Bloodline Analysis are genetic differences not management differences.

The current results from the PWMMC using March 2011 wool and mutton prices showed a difference of $86 to $45 (fleece) and $110 to $70 (carcase).

Bookham used a 12 month average price from June 2010 to June 2011 showing a difference in fleece value from $83 to $45 over the 33 teams participating. This difference is commonly seen and highlights the opportunities available to the Merino industry.

Generating a comparison per hectare from the dollar per head production information shows significant opportunities and differences. Taking into consideration both variable and overhead costs the range in Net Profit per hectare for the PWMMC was $964/ha to $479/ha, a 101% difference at the same stocking rate or dry sheep equivalent rating.

Translating this information to focus on the top 20% and bottom 20% based on trait and value performance the top 20% where 1.7 micron finer and cut 600 grams more clean fleece weight. There was only 1 kilogram difference in body weight. Effectively the higher valued teams required the same energy as the lower valued teams.

Chilean Needle Grass

Nassella neesiana Chilean needle grass is a member of the speargrass group of grasses and is a native of South America, Chilean needle grass is one of Australia’s top 20 weeds.

Status Chilean needle grass is a class 4 noxious weed within the CoomaMonaro shire. The growth and spread of the plant must be controlled according to the measures specified in Council’s published Management Plan.

Habitat Chilean needle grass is tolerant of a wide range of soils and conditions, however it tends to grow in open, dry habitats where fertility is low. It is less likely to establish in fertile, productive pastures where competition is often greater, but given the opportunity it will also establish here.

Plant growth occurs mostly during the cooler months.

Chilean needle grass is highly invasive. It is common in Canberra and some of the shires to the south and east where it is considered one of the most invasive species of grassy ecosystems.

A small infestation has recently been found in the CoomaMonaro Shire.

An independent analysis of sheep enterprises by NSW DPI has shown a 36% increase in Net Profit when the top and bottom performing bloodlines in Merino Bloodline Performance are compared. The work presented from the PWMMC supports the massive opportunities to improve your bottom line through genetics. These benefits are additive over time when joined with precision management.

You have control over the genetics that walk through your gate. Use the available tools such as wether trials, Merino Bloodline Performance and Sheep Genetics.

Wether trials allow you to benchmark your flock and compare to others in the industry. The combined wether trial analysis presented as Merino Bloodline Performance provides information to find the best ram source that will meet your breeding objective. Sheep Genetics can then be used to select the right rams to meet your breeding objective.

Sally Martin, Sheep & Wool Officer NSW RIRDC Rural Women’s Award Runner-up Dep Primary Industries (Agriculture) M: 0427 401 538 | E: sally.martin@industry.nsw.gov.au

Characteristics Chilean needle grass is a tussock that can grow to about 1m high in the absence of grazing and resembles tall fescue.

Leaves are mid to dark green, up to 5mm wide and 10mm - 30mm long.

Reproduction is by seed and can be dispersed by animals, on clothing, machinery, vehicles, by water, slashing, in contaminated fodder and in soil.

Seed may be produced at flowering, or alternatively, from stem where seeds are found at nodes or swellings along the stem and are hidden by the leaf sheath. These stem seeds allow the plant to reproduce even if flowering has been prevented.

Prevention Early detection and removal is vital. Seed is long lived in the soil and is produced in large quantities, so prevention of seeding is important.

The best control strategy is to keep Chilean needle grass off the property. Any plants found should be destroyed before seeding to prevent infestation. Keep stock away from fruiting plants, and ensure purchase of fodder, stock and soil is free of weed seeds.

The key to controlling any weed population is to prevent the plants from reproducing and encouraging strong competition.

Borders no boundaries to fire in far east Bushfires have no respect for borders of any description, so if a fire started near the VictorianNew South Wales border in the far east of our state, firefighting agencies would have to be ready to share their resources, expertise and information across all boundaries to protect lives and property in both states.

NSW Rural Fire Service Monaro Team Manager, Jim Darrant said a recent cross-border training exercise has helped involved agencies test their cooperation, collaboration and shared systems and processes to ensure the most effective response to an incident.

“Under the auspices of the Bombala and Snowy Monaro Bush Fire Management Committees, an inter-agency exercise was held at the Bendoc DSE office. Seven agencies were represented with 40 people attending. This included: Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE), Parks Victoria, Country Fire Authority (CFA), NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS), NSW Police, NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service and Forests NSW.” “The exercise was a real test of how we can work together, sharing our skills and knowledge and putting the systems and processes in the Cross-border Cooperative Agreement into practice.”

“It also gave NSW agencies an opportunity

29

to become familiar with the DSE Level 3 Incident Control Centre and the CFA Divisional Command facility at Bendoc. The exercise also reviewed the interagency and cross border co-operative fire fighting arrangements to further improve management of wildfire when required in the region”.

“This was a really worthwhile exercise, bringing together experienced fire managers from both states and across relevant agencies Interagency members at the training exercise that was recently held in Bendoc. that are critical to any firefight in this border area” Mr Darrant said.

“I think we all left feeling reassured that our cross-border arrangements are strong and effective and that we’ll be as ready as we can be for the approaching fire season.”

HAZELDEAN ANGUS Sitz New Design 458N – the curve-bending sire with below average birth weight and super growth and carcase. There will be 23 sons on offer at Hazeldean Angus Spring Sale on September 6th.

The Litchfield family will offer 70 performance bulls at their annual Spring Sale on Tuesday September 6th. The sale commences at 1 pm with gates open for inspection from 10 am. The makings of a strong Spring season following the excellent start to the year have enabled the bulls to grow out very well and present in good working order.

“The bulls in the catalogue are a great group of young bulls. We have 23 Sitz New Design 458N sons that are very impressive along with some exciting sons of Bando 9074 (14 sons) and Leachman Boomtime (16 sons). There are also some excellent sons of Hazeldeans home bred sires including Hazeldean Brave B195 and Bard B21.” Jim said.

Hazeldean Brave B195 sired the equal top price bull at Hazeldeans recent Queensland sale where 4 bulls reached $10,000. The other $10,000 bulls included 2 sons of Boomtime and 1 son of Bando 9074.

The Spring sale bulls at Cooma have grown out on pasture from the very beginning with the exception of one group grazing crop this past month and although the winter chill has taken off

CROSSWORD Cryptic Clues

The Colts were up against the Valley Dragons with a tight play off for the season in Canberra. The Dragons took the first 10 points but with the Colts seizing all other points, it became extraordinary play from all team players.

Noah Saddler took the honours’ for the first lot of tries. It then became 1210. We saw Damon Fanning, Jayden and Clayton Miners, David Constance, Brendon Weston all having ball contact.

Remy Oldrey got straight into it along with Will Pendergast giving their speed.

James H a y d e n surrendered the ball to give a great pass to Remy Oldrey who took it up and over the try line only seconds into the second half. Sean Dixon took a hard blow after going in head on into a pack but got up to play the ball.

Nicholas Zusak took hold of play with a good run, only to be disappointed by being denied a try.

The Dragons tried to keep up with tackling hard but the colts came through continuously. Outstanding ball play and moves from the team made it a striking and weaving run to the try line for William Pendergast to score.

Dragons started throwing colts around like rag dolls in frustration seeing one of their players sent to the sin bin. Colts took the advantage of this penalty seeing action coming from Archie Allen, Will Pendergast, Nicholas Zusak and

Will Saddler. Matthew Hopkins trying hard to put himself out there, doing well. Sam Sergo had a great run with back up of Nicholas Zusak for support, he handed the ball over to him for his much sort after try after breaking through the defence he made sure he was getting this one. The colts had the game won 28-10. Coach Creedence Bartlett had a grin to match his boy’s win. The Colts couldn’t believe they had done it and sat in silence!

Melray Meats Under 16s bow out of finals The Melray Meats under 16s travelled to Queanbeyan on Friday night to take on Crookwell in the minor semi final. Crookwell scored two consecutive tries and lead 10 nil before Zane Weston scored a great try. Next to score was Dean Byrne and Joel Smith kicked a great conversion. Crookwell retaliated and at half time we were down 18 - 10. The second half saw Dean Byrne score another great try with Joel converting down only 16 - 18, the boys were playing a great defensive game. Crookwell scored again and converted. Harry Roach then scored again and the final score was 24 - 20 after a try was disallowed at fulltime by the colts. The colts were exceptional in their performance and never gave up, full credit to a magnificent group of young men. The colts Farewell team dinner will be held on September 16.

The 2011 Toyota One Hit Wonder returns to Thredbo This coming September, the Toyota One Hit Wonder Down Under event will return to the slopes of Thredbo.

Recently premiering on Channel Nine in a one hour exclusive, the Toyota One Hit Wonder is a totally unique, big-air event format that is unrivalled worldwide.

International and Australian competitors are selected from individually submitted audition videos featuring their best ‘one-hit’ trick. The top 16 entrants will then go head to head from the 6th – 10th of September at Thredbo Resort, demonstrating their best tricks off a 100-foot jump built by world-renowned terrain park builder, Charles Beckinsale.

Skiers were invited to capture and submit online their best ‘one-hit’ tricks, for their chance to compete in the 2011 One Hit Wonder event.

“The Toyota One Hit Wonder event has made its mark as Australia’s best showcase of skiing talent and in 2011,

competitors and spectators should expect nothing less than an amazing week of progression and jaw-dropping skill” says Event Director, Tim Myers.

“Now in its third year, this event attracts the best skiers in the world and highlights the incredible talents of our upcoming athletes with an international standard of cinematography.”

In a voting format unrivalled in Australian snow-sports, a virtual grandstand, made up of anyone connected to the Internet, will decide on the event winner by voting for their favorite big-air trick at www.onehitwonderevent.com The public has three weeks to vote for their favorite skier, which will be crowned the 2011 Toyota One Hit Wonder Down Under Champion and take home the $10,000 grand prize.

Each member of the public who votes will also go into the draw to win the ‘Ultimate Winter Package’ worth over

Cooma Challenge utilises gym

Pictured: (left to right) Graham Hodges, Independent Living Skills Coordinator Susan Falls, Paul Toffoletti, Chris Nichols, Gym Manager Shane Johnson, Michael Williams.

Since the beginning of this year Cooma Challenge Limited has been arranging regular visits to Cooma’s Anytime Fitness gymnasium for several local people.

The mission of Cooma Challenge is to provide support to people to enable them to participate and integrate in the community, and regular visits to the gym are proving to be an excellent way to do this.

“The guys and girls love coming,” says gym manager Shane Johnson, “and all of them have made such big improvements since they’ve been coming. Of course their flexibility, strength and fitness have increased, but it has also been great getting to know them individually. One of the guys was extremely shy when he first started coming, and it was not easy teaching him how to use the equipment. Now he comes in confident, he always

smiles and he feels at home.”

Shane commented on the excellent work of Challenge coordinators, including Susan Falls.

“Susan is amazing,” he says, “She knows all the individuals’ programmes, she spots them and encourages them constantly.”

“It helps that all these guys have positive attitudes and are willing to push themselves,” explains Susan, who has a background in sport and fitness, “And we can engage with them because we know each of them really well. It’s important for us to know when we can push them harder and when to hold back.”

The joy and the pride on the faces of these gym’ members is inspiring. They tell a story of a successful partnership in the community between Anytime Fitness and Cooma Challenge Limited.

$10,000. This includes an all-expenses-paid holiday for two to Hakuba Japan, staying at the luxurious Phoenix Hotel, a complete Salomon ski or snowboard package, Von Zipper eyewear, plus a GE DV1 HD Waterproof & Shockproof Video Camera to film the trip.

In 2010, international ski superstar Bobby Brown from Breckenridge Colorado won the peoples vote. “The jump was one of the best I’ve hit and the competition format made for a very fun week, Thredbo did an amazing job” says Brown, who when asked if he would be defending his title in 2011, replied “the plane ticket is already booked.”

As well as the publicly voted champion, the athletes themselves will vote at the end of the week to decide the most impressive peer performance to be awarded at the Thredbo Village after party on the 10th of September.

Cooma Rifle Club Last Saturday the monthly heat of the Club Championship and Gregory Shield competition was shot from 500 yards.

Four shooters competed in a wind that, as predicted, changed from the north to the south during the morning.

The change took quite some time to occur with the winds from the south-west and north-east fishtailing along the range until the change settled down.

All this caused the shooters a fair bit of trouble.

The off-rifle scores were: 1. Noel Barrett 48-3 and 49-5, total 97-8 2. Don Robb 48-4 and 46-4, total 94-8 3. Nick Skobelkin 43-0 and 44-2, total 87-2 4. Brian Bradley 42-0 and 40-0, total 82-0 With handicaps the order was Noel, Don, Nick and Brian with little between them.

Next week shooting will be from 300 yards for the monthly heat of the NRA Medal competition.

Big win for Ben Bright

Three Junior Red Devils in Grand Final Mainstreet under 13s V Radford College 26 – 7 The performance of the team last week could not be faulted. The boys went out there to win and proved they are worthy contenders for this coming weekends grand final game.

The team played to their full potential on Saturday peaking at just the right time. The forwards powered all game and the whole team showed great disapline in playing their own game and not succumbing to Radfords dirty tactics.

All of the bench players slotted into any position they were placed in and played to their full potential. All 19 players worked well as a team and cannot be faulted for their game.

Ryan Van Gemert has come into his own over the past few weeks and is playing his best rugby of the season. Daniel Swain also had a great defensive game and the whole team attacked well. Jesse McMahon played a fantastic game on the wing with Damien Hayden and Henry Schofield both making great breakaway tries.

The grand finals sees the boys taking on Trinity Goulburn, which will be a tough match with a very strong inside centre and a vert strong regimented forward pack. Saying that it’s nothing that the Devils can’t handle if they play like they did the week before. They are playing at Canberra Stadium on Sunday and would like to see Cooma come along and support them in their bid for another grand final win.

High Country Hyundai Under 11s V St Edmunds College 31-12 The under 11s have cemented their spot in the grand final after a convincing win over St Edmund’s College at O’Connor. Pre-game preparations were shaky with only 10 players for the game but the boys quickly showed that would not matter a jot when Zac Ingram took the ball from the kick-off and drew in the Eddies defenders to pass to Callum Sewell who ran 40 metres and scored under the posts.

The first half all went Cooma’s way as they repeatedly gained the ball back from kickoffs and cleaned out spectacularly, preventing the ball-hungry Eddies boys from pilfering the ball as they did so successfully in the previous game where they beat the Cooma team narrowly. Excellent work from Matt Swain and Oscar Litchfield kept the ball secured for Deuchar Allen to fire the ball to Cooma’s ever-threatening backline. By halftime Eddies were scoreless with and the team were on track to making the grand final for the second year in a row.

Eddies opened the second half with a lot more determination than previously and managed to score in the first five minutes of the second half. Unperturbed by this, the Cooma boys stepped up again and took it physically to the Eddies boys in the forwards.

Dylan van Gemert showed what a weapon he really can be with some devastating clean

outs that put the Eddies boys on the back foot. However, the intensity of the game really took it out of the team and made it a real effort to continue defending seamlessly. Eddies scored one more try, however it was too little too late. Cooma ran away with the game 31-12. All the team played brilliantly in their most important game of the season so far and hope to see you supporting them, and all the other Cooma boys, this Saturday at Canberra Stadium.

Melray Meat Under 10s V Marist College 47- 14 On Saturday the Under 10 Junior Red Devils played a semi final against Marist in Canberra.

The game started at a fast pace with both teams trying to secure the ball and score the first try. Cooma was successful with Sam Larritt scoring the first points with a strong run down the sideline after a good build up of hard yards won by the forwards. Marist came back quickly with some good running of the ball and fast passes resulting in a try which put the Cooma boys on notice.

However it was not long before Remy Oldrey used his pace to race away for the first of his three tries. Nick Cootes used his strength to continue to push the scoreline helped by some good forward runs by Rhys Sopniewski and Colby Evans. Bentley Walker-Broose also backed up the ball runners well and kept the gate shut not letting any Marist boys get past him at fullback. The Cooma team continued their strong play up to the half time break with a try to Keegan Caldwell after good backing up and support play. Cooma going into the break 33 points to 7.

After halftime Marist came back strongly scoring a great try after pushing through some sloppy defence. The Red Devils however did not let this upset them too much and it was not long before Bailey Rogers was whipping downfield and over the tryline. Further good breaks were continually made by the strong straight running of Archie Allen who was unlucky not to score for his team.

The Marist team showed good character by not giving up and made Cooma earn any advantage. Zac Van Der Plaat showed his team how to protect the man on the ground and clean out, helping win the ball on the ground. Also helping in the forwards with some good strong runs was Brendan Beileiter who pushed hard through the opposing forward pack. Broc Allen also made a good break down the sideline after supporting a blindside run by Bailey Rogers. It was almost full time and the Cooma team was still trying hard to increase the score when Marist won possession. However, their run was cut short with a clinical tackle by Spencer Walker-Broose.

Busy Weekend of Golf With fine weather and warmer conditions golfers turned out in large numbers for the Holden Scramble on Saturday, a single stableford on Sunday and last Wednesday for the individual stableford. The course is now starting to green up as the soil temperature rises above single figures.

Fields on all three competition days have more than doubled this week and with the Centenary Cup to be played next Saturday and round one of the business house competition another big weekend is predicted.

Now for the detail…

On Saturday 27 August a great combined round by Brad Burke, Charlie Filtness, Roy Hankinson and Darren Hedger saw that team finish 11 under par with a net score of 53.125 to take out the Holden Scramble for 2011. Nearest the pins went to Nick Massari on the 4th, Terry Johnson on the 9th, Niall Marshall on the 11th and on the 17th Ian Gibson. Longest drive for the ladies went to smooth swinging Jenny Rainsford. The men’s A grade was won by visitor Jonathan Alder. In B grade, always competitive Dave Ware hit a screamer and in C grade a visitor from the gold coast - Nial Marshall found the centre of the fairway with a lovely drive.

Our thanks go to Commonwealth Motors for their fabulous support of this years Holden Scramble.

On Sunday August 28 a field of 24 golfers contested an individual stableford. Prawitt Prakotasung came out on top with a great round of 42 points from junior Sam Patricks on 39 with Frank McKnight coming in third on a countback from Nick Massari – both with 38 points.

On Wednesday the 24th of August the mens single stableford saw Bruce Burton continue to find form taking out

the day with 40 points from Kerrie Blencowe on 39 and Gino Cerro also on 39 points (just being pushed out on a countback). Ball winners went to 36 points and nearest the pins going to Bruce Burton on the 9th and Richard Harris on the 17th.

Next week sees single stablefords the order of the day on Wednesday with the Centenary cup on Saturday and round one of the business house competition on Sunday. There is

Where have all the bowlers gone? Just twenty on Saturday and twelve on Sunday to enjoy the fine weather and a well running green.

On Saturday there were two games of pairs and two of triples. Geoff Venables and Margarita Zasso started well and set up a good lead of 12/6 after ten ends against Ron Wainwright and Jack Sajina.

The lead was increased to 19/8 before Ron and Jack recovered to go down by just three shots 21/24.

Maria Roncelli and Paul Cannell started well against Sergio Roncelli and Neil McGregor but then came to a full stop on six shots for seven ends to allow Sergio and Neil to lead 15/6 on end eleven and they were never headed to run out winners 31/21.

Gail Fitzgerald, Mario Frezza and Richard Nichols were

having a good battle with Jim Fletcher, Fiona Richards and Don Jarvis in the early stages of their match then Gail, Mario and Richard won nine of the last twelve ends for a convincing 23-10 win.

After a bit of switching players, Maureen D’Amico, Keith Goodwin and Gulio D’Amico won nine of the first eleven ends against Mary Phillips, Ron Gammon and John Schoon and were able to keep up the good work to run out 28/10 winners.

Just two games on Sunday with Rod Hassall, Jack Sajina and Paul Cannell running into a red hot Jim Fletcher, Mario Frezza and Peter Marsicano.

With a 24/4 lead at the halfway point, Jim, Mario and Peter ran out convincing winners 33/9. Keith Goodwin, Dawn Russell and Neil McGregor had a great early tussle

Do all the Grandmothers realise that ”Many a child is spoiled because you cant spank two grandmothers”?

Saturday 27th August saw the Jindabyne under 10 piglets travel to Canberra for their Semi-final match against Uni-Norths.

It was an uphill battle with no reserves due to illness and state skiing championships depleting piglet numbers but they put in a gallant performance with a big Uni-Norths pack too good on the day.

It has been an incredible season from the piglets who took the giant leap to first division and did themselves, our club and the region proud.

To have finished second on the ladder before the semis in such a tough competition was a real testament to the talent, determination and positive attitude of players, coaching staff, club and parents!

Most importantly, it has been fun!

We look forward to another successful season of rugby in 2012.

Well-done Piglets!

Premier League Pathways into first phase of finals Premier League Cooma played with the urgency to score goals in the first few minutes of play against Goulburn. They had to score in case Canberra City drew their game which was played on the same day. In the first half Cooma played most of the game in Goulburn’s territory.

In the twenty-third minute, Castro opened Cooma’s account. A custom-made high cross from Josifovsky was turned in by Castro who headed the ball into the back of the net.

Half an hour into the game, D’Ambrosio struck the ball from outside of the area. The force of his shot could’ve burst the ball into flames. He found the net and there was nothing the goalkeeper could have done.

In the thirty-ninth minute, Josifovsky passed the ball to Castro who neatly returned the ball to him. The move had all the sharpness of a mathematical triangle and Josifovsky, without a thought in his head, pushed the ball past the goalkeeper.

Nearing the end of the first half, Goulburn was awarded a penalty. Cooma also suffered a red card.

In the second-half the mood turned gloomy for Cooma.

The Tigers already knew that Canberra City was winning the game against Olympic but this did not stop the team from scoring more goals.

After sixty-seven minutes, Adrien Labutte added to the tally. Castro got a high ball from Josifovsky but instead of trying to score himself, he put the ball up for Adrien who controlled the ball on his chest and on the half volley, placed the ball into the net.

Later in the game, Serdan put a simple header past

the goalkeeper. The ball was provided by Josifovsky.

One minute into extra time, Castro finished his hat trick.

Josifovsky again provided a ball into the box, and Castro accomodated it and beat the keeper inside the near post.

Premier League Pathways Pathway finalised the tournament on a high note.

They defeated Goulburn 3-0 and in doing so secured second place on the table. The goal scorers for today were Serdan Bircan, Cam Mackintosh and Keegan Staff. Next week the tigers will play the top of the table in the first phase of the finals. Well done boys!!

Fillies unlucky in golden point Under a scorching sun on Sunday, the Cooma Fillies took on competition leaders, the Narooma Devils in the semi-finals of the Ladies Oztag competition. Having had mixed results against the Devils in the past, and without captain Alicia Clarke who came off second best to a Perisher Blue ski slope, the Fillies were full of nerves as they took to the field.

Meg Bracher started t h e game

strongly for the Fillies with a dominant kickoff and through pin-point perfect positioning, gave the girls possession early in the game.

Cementing themselves in Narooma’s half through persistent attack from Patrice Ingram, Jade Lee, Alana Nichols and Tara Barnes, and with improved and tight defence from Maree Ingram, Shannon Schofield, Paige Kucks, Louise Barron and Kirsty Patton, the Fillies were dominant and looked set to post early points. Abby and Kate Schofield showed early why they are so dangerous in all facets of the game, with both

Reserves have one last chance The reserve grade Stallions travelled to Eden to take on the minor premiers Cobargo on Sunday and came away second best from the encounter. A few things did not go their way early with some 50 / 50 calls going against them. It is hard to win games especially semi finals when luck is against you and Sunday proved this. Cobargo got off to a flyer and by half time were leading 22 nil. The guys knew that the aging Cobargo side will tire in the second half but the 22 points was going to be too hard to peg back. Some frustrations came to the boil with Dean Wolf after witnessing the Manly Storm game was given 10 minutes

narrowly missing out on posting first points, before Anna Steel crossed in the corner to give the Fillies a 1-0 lead going into half time.

The game continued in its fiery style in the second half, with tensions high and a grand final spot on offer. An early try to the Devils levelled the scores at 1-all and it became very clear that this would be a low scoring game. Big hits from Louise Barron, Jade Lee and Georgie Clarke led to a few injuries to the Narooma team and despite half breaks from both teams, including a barnstorming sideline break from Sandy Schofield, defence remained solid. As the full time siren sounded, the score stayed at 1-all, so the girls were thrust into golden point extra time.

Maree Ingram charged onto a ball from sister Patrice and looked to have scored in extra time to snatch victory for the Fillies. Unfortunately, Cooma’s celebration was premature, as the try was called back for an infringement in the grounding.

After 10 minutes of extra time, the score still remained 1-all and confusion rang through

to cool his heals after being involved in a scuffle. Cobargo eventually came away victors 34 - nil Cobargo certainly can be beaten and if Cooma get a second chance at them will have the know how to get over them.

This week they have a second chance at getting to the decider with a qualifying semi against Eden in Bega on Sunday. They have had some luck over Eden this year and hopefully will get over the top of them again on Sunday. The game will get underway at 12 noon and the boys would like a crowd of supporters make the journey to help them in their quest for the premiership.

both teams. Officials decreed that a winner would be decided from a ‘shoot-out’ with each team nominating their best goal kicker to have three shots at goal; the team with the most successful goals advancing to the grand final. Having not trained for this circumstance, and with no experienced goal kicker in the side, the Fillies nominated superstar Patrice Ingram as their best chance of success. Unfortunately, the Devils’ kicker was too good, and in double extra time, the girls from Narooma were victorious. A heartbroken Fillies team could not have done more than what they did on the field, and should be proud of their efforts. Having such great success during the season, they have a second chance of getting into the grand final and will play Eden in Bega this coming Sunday for an opportunity to take on Narooma once more.

Points this week went to Louise Barron (3), Alana Nichols (2) and Patrice Ingram (1) with Patrice Ingram an undisputed players’ player.
