‘Tony’ the koala, a victim of the January Yarrabin fire, has been returned to the bush near to where he was found.

‘Tony’ was found by Tony Corey in his driveway after the bushfire swept through the Mt Forrest Road property.

He has spent the last three months in the care of James Fitzgerald, at Peak View.

Last Wednesday, he was released and happily climbed back up a gum tree to peer down at the observers watching his release.

‘Tony’ is a four-year-old male and has recovered well from his bushfire ordeal.

3 GIVE MUM A GIFT THAT

SHE WILL CHERISH

Pictured, Dennis Feaver is presented with his Anzac of the Year award at the Cooma Anzac Day ceremony by Cooma RSL subbranch president Peter McMahon.

Anzac Day was well supported at ceremonies around the region last Thursday.

In Cooma, more than 300 people attended the dawn service, while the morning service drew one of the biggest crowds seen.

Once again, Kokoda Company joined the marchers at the Cooma ceremony, with all schools, the RFS, police, scouts and town fire brigade represented.

The morning service saw the announcement of two awards â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the John Holden Memorial Award which was presented to Laura Hobbs and the Anzac of the Year award, which was presented

to Dennis Feaver, in recognition of the community work he has carried over many years.

This was particularly for his contribution to the Cooma-Bombala Legacy group, for which he has acted as treasurer for many years.

A special award was presented to photographer Frank Heffernan, for his photographic contributions to the Cooma RSL sub-branch over the last 24 years.

Anzac Day addresses were delivered by Rob Barnes, AM at the dawn service and by Fr Paul Huthnance at the morning service.

Local government review â&#x20AC;&#x201C; amalgamations pending Last week was a week of speculation and concern for local government A report by the NSW Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s TCorp into the financial sustainability of local governments across the State drew strong comment from our three local government authorities across the Monaro.

This report stated that Cooma-Monaro Shire was in a weak position and that both Bombala and Snowy River Shires were neutral, but facing unsustainable futures.

Later in the week, another report from the Independent Local Government review panel has drawn outrage and criticism from the Bombala Shire mayor, Bob Stewart, over a recommendation his shire be amalgamated with either Cooma-Monaro or Snowy River Shire Council.

Regarding the TCorp report, Snowy River Shire general manager Joe Vescio said he viewed the report as a tool. He said the report has indicated that perhaps council needs to have a another look at what it has planned to see if those proposals are sustainable.

General manager of Cooma-Maonro Shire council, John Vucic, said the figures TCorop used in its analyisis of Cooma-Monaro Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standing, were not used properly and other factors, such as

councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reserves funds, were not factored in to the findings.

Mayor Dean Lynch agreed. He said the report card handed out by TCorp did his shire a disservice and did not reflect the real financial postion.

In regard to the review panelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report, Bombala Mayor Bob Stewart said he was tired of bureaucrats and academics making decisions when they did not know anything about his shire.

He said if the review panel could prove that Bombala Shire is not doing a good job, or that â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Monaro can be better managed than it is at presentâ&#x20AC;? he would support a model that would improve the situation for his shire and its ratepayers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, have a look at the Rural Lands Protection Boards changes debacle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a complete messâ&#x20AC;?, Cr Stewart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They want to sort the city councils out firstâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is what we expect from people not doing it right â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they try to change things on a population basis and it gives us a bad result. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they can prove itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m all for it, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a valid argumentâ&#x20AC;? he said.

Cooma-Monaro mayor Dean Lynch said he had â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;seen this comingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; a while back.

Mayor Cahill assists Judy Walters and Charlie Roberson with the ribbon cutting.

A small crowd gathered on the Dalgety Road on Saturday morning for the official opening of the new Bates Bridge over the Wullwye Creek.

The bridge has replaced an old wooden structure which was becoming a danger.

The work was completed on schedule and to budget, costing $1.4million.

In his address, mayor John Cahill praised the efforts of council staff and contractors, especially councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s works manager Garry Shakespeare, for getting the job done.

Mayor Cahill said council had had to find funding for the

bridge by cutting other council projects, like widening the Dalgety Road.

The bridge was opened by the cutting of a ribbon, a task given to two Dalgety residents, Judy Walters and Charlie Roberson, assisted by Mayor Cahill.

After the opening, Keven Burke drove his 1963 HD Holden across the bridge, to become the first â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;officialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; car across.

Veterans from the Vietnam War and other armed conflicts march to the War Memorial in Jindabyneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Banjo Paterson Park On Anzac Day, veterans from the Vietnam War and other armed conflicts marched to the War Memorial in Jindabyneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Banjo Paterson Park, supported members of the Jindabyne community groups including Jindabyne Central School which led the procession, Snowy Mountains Grammar School, Kosciuszko First Scout Troop, Gidgillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Child Care Centre, Marine Rescue, Jindabyne Fire Brigade, State Emergency Services, Royal Australian Naval officers and cadets, and the Snowy Mountains horse riders.

At the Memorial, a large crowd joined them to pay tribute to those who served in the Australian armed forces. The service was led by retired Warrant Officer Paul Cochrane. Paul served 21 years in the Australian Navy during which time he received the Order of Australia Medal for meritorius service onboard HMAS Westralia when it experienced a tragic engine room fire resulting in the deaths of four sailors, in May 1998.

Following the service, people gathered in the Jindabyne Memorial Hall for morning tea.

The key overriding outcome from this report highlights that NSW Councils, to varying degrees, have been struggling to balance their community led service requirements within the existing government cost shifting scenarios, rate pegging restrictions and inadequate financial grants.

Within the dilemma of meeting financial capabilities of communities, TCorp has also provided a Financial Sustainability Rating (FSR) and Outlook for each Council. This report was based on audited Council statements and forecasts supplied within the restrictive financial regime it operates under. To this end, it was not surprising that Cooma-Monaro Shire Council (CMSC), along with a vast amount of other Councils, were assessed as having an unsustainable financial position to fund current and future levels of service over the long term. Within the ratings and definitions used by TCorp to compare different Councils operating under different scenarios, they have relied upon a simplistic definition of 'sustainabilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that Councils will be financially sustainable only when they are able to generate sufficient funds to provide the levels of service agreed to with their community.

With regards to CMSC, it is acknowledged that there were a variety of factors affecting Council's position in that it went through a number of abnormal natural catastrophic events (floods, bushfires, and global financial crises) over the past four years that have impacted on its financial results. During this period, Council also went through a revaluation of its assets, significantly increasing its depreciation expenses resulting in a downward trend with operating deficits over the last two years and into the future without some changes to the operating scenario being considered.

The TCorp Report has been reviewed by Council's auditors, Auswild & Co who have confirmed that Council is well managed with its reserves and is well positioned to make an application for special rate variation or to increase fees and charges as is necessary to manage the threats and demands into the future.

Ideas on new cemetery the

postman calls

Well, that was a pretty big weekend for the old town.

Cooma Public School was full to overflowing with ex-students and teachers, plus some of the contemporary models, all catching up on their history.

The Postman would have liked to have seen the celebrations last a bit longer, however. With 150 years to account for, just one day really wasn’t enough.

And for those with a passion for reunions, it is Monaro High School’s 60th next year.

Who is organising a reunion for that one?

Out at Dalgety, while there are real concerns about the closure of the town’s iconic bridge for repairs, another bridge was officially commissioned last Saturday.

With a flourish of a big pair of scissors, the ribbon was cut and a 1963 HD Holden rolled across the bridge.

There had been a call for someone on a horse to dash up and do the honours with a sabre or a sword or similar, but there weren’t any around.

Now with talk of changes to NSW Local Government, how soon will we see the ‘no forced amalgamations’ the NSW Government promised?

Mayor Bob Stewart is rightly outraged that his patch has been nominated as the first to go – even though his council is looking pretty good financially.

And while Bob held off on referring to the ‘shiny bums’ who conduct these reviews as such, we all get your meaning Bob. Time for these people to get out off their flash offices in Newcastle, Sydney and Wollongong and meet the people they are pushing about.

Editor, I hope you can use this email and the attached pictures to inform your readers that the time is now to request the Cooma Monaro Shire Councillors to continue preparing for the future of the next Cooma Cemetery. This could be done by drawing a sensible layout that provides off street parking with summer shade from planting the types of beautiful trees that adorn the Cooma Streets now (trees need about a ten year lead time to become big enough for useful shade).

The vitality of the town and district will be enhanced by developing and building a new cemetery that will serve the future well. * A long internal road leading to the higher southern part of the site would provide a beautified and practical parking facility; * The road could terminate in a ceremonial square with views back to the Tindaries; * The square could be flanked by memorial cairns depicting the lives of those who came to work on the great Snowy Mountains Scheme and other significant pioneering events etc; * An adjacent section should be provided for Pet burials and memorials; * It is understood that Council is already allocating space at the front of the site for a Funeral Facility; * Cooma and district could become more attractive to existing and prospective residents if we develop a first class place for Remembrance Ceremonies for our recently departed; * The location near existing large

There was an interesting snippet on the news through the week that related to further price rises with our electricity bills. Power companies are trotting out the usual lame excuses, and then there’s that carbon tax that no one wanted that is also adding to our electricity bill woes, but it was the mention of something else in the report that really peed me off and I’m sure any others out there who caught the news that night are spewing too! You see, the other reason mentioned for the continuing price soar apparently relates to the fact that people are using less electricity in an attempt to contain their bills (and the impact of that unnecessary tax) and as a result, the major power companies aren’t raking in as much as they were so they want to bring in further increases to make up the shortfall!

I kid you not. Like, they aren’t already charging like wounded bulls to fund the extravagant lifestyles of their executives! If this is the case though, why is it allowed to happen? The huge profits these power companies are pulling in at our expense are supposed to go back into the company to cover the costs of things like infrastructure

etc, so I’m not falling for the old “poles and wires” excuse they trot out every time someone queries billing increases because they well and truly have the money for that now! But to increase cost even more to cover the fact that people are using less power and/ or going solar in an effort to keep their bills lower is like a slap in the face with a wet washer and if that is what they are really doing, then where is the point of monitoring our power usage if we are going to be penalised by the power companies for doing it? I repeat, why is this allowed to happen? If this is true, it’s a totally nasty and underhanded thing to do. As mentioned, we have already been funding the ridiculously high salary packages, perks and extravagant lifestyles of the power company executives as it is, but now it appears they are putting the boot in because we have taken steps towards surviving their crippling bills. So who is going to look into that on our behalf and if it’s found to be the case, whose going to do something about it?

Probably not this particular Labor Government we’ve been saddled with which is why we are all hanging out for September. This really needs to be sorted!

Frogs take up residence at visitors centre There was much excitement on Tuesday April 22, when eight juvenile Southern Corroboree Frogs (Pseudophryne corroboree) were placed into their specially designed enclosure which is best described as a frog tank, at the Snowy Region Visitor Centre.

NSW Minister for Environment and Heritage, Robyn Parker was on hand for the relocation, before fascinated Jindabyne children and adults.

The children asked many questions and the NPWS frog expert Dr David Hunter provided the following information: These 2 ½ year old little frogs which measure about two centimetres in size, were bred at Taronga Park Zoo in the reptile division as part of the threatened species breeding program funded by the government.

To date there are about 400 Southern Corroboree Frogs at the Zoo, however only 50 or so are known to exist in the wild.

The species is only found in the sub-alpine area of the NSW Kosciuszko National Park within an area of about 400 square kilometres above 1,300 metres.

It has two distinct types of habitat during its life cycle: pools, wet tussock grass and wet heath for breeding; and forest, sub-alpine woodland and tall heath next to the breeding areas during other times of the year.

The female frog, which reaches maturity at four to five 5 years of age, lays up to 25 eggs at one time only once a year. The life span is up to 10 years. The mucous membrane covering the skin of the frog contains poisonous alkaloids, and it has no known natural predators.

Ants are part of the frogs’ natural diet, however those bred at the Zoo eat hatchling crickets.

The tadpoles are slow growing, spending over six months in shallow pools. Its restricted habitat and specialised breeding pattern makes this frog species extremely vulnerable to disturbance.

The Southern Corroboree Frog is also threatened by infections caused by the deadly Chytrid fungus –

an infection contaminating frogs worldwide.

Staff at the Snowy Region Visitor Centre undertook special husbandry training at the Zoo, to ensure that the frogs get the very best of care, and it was revealed that they were still moving about following their first night in the Snowy Mountains. The Southern Corroboree Frog does not hop, so there is no chance of them escaping from their display tank.

Later in the week a number of Corroboree Frogs were released into a specially constructed, protected area in a deep ravine at the northern end of the Kosciuszko National Park. There they will be monitored to establish their ability to survive in their natural environment.

Whilst in the region, the Minister watched the release of koala back into its natural habitat following its recovery from being b u r n t in the bushfires in the Nimmitabel area; visited Curiosity Rocks at Lake Jindabyne; the Blue Cow pygmy possum habitat; inspected erosion and feral animal damage, Above: Four endangered Southern the Kiandra Corroboree Frogs prior to being placed in Court house the “frog tank.” restoration and the Yarrangobilly Top right: NSW Member for Maitland, Caves House Minister for Environment and Heritage, where the Ms Robyn Parker MP talks to Jindabyne second storey children in front of the “frog tank” at the section has been Snowy Region Visitor Centre following restored. the placing of eight Southern Corroboree Frogs in it, whilst Michael McFadden from the Taronga Park Zoo Reptile Department looks on.

Charlotte was guest speaker at a literary luncheon at Crackenback resort at Easter, as part of the Snowy Mountains Readers Writers Festival.

She is currently working on her fifth novel.

Her cook book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love and Hungerâ&#x20AC;? was released last year. Part recipe book and part memoirs, the book is an indispensable kitchen companion.

Stories shared as community celebrates Delegateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aboriginal Place About 80 people came together on Friday, April 12, to celebrate

last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s declaration of Delegate Aboriginal Reserve as an Aboriginal Place under the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974.

Families came from hundreds of kilometres away to share their stories about Delegate Aboriginal Reserve, reflect on the significance of the place, and to celebrate its formal recognition.

Office of Environment and Heritage Manager Southern Region Paul House officiated the day and encouraged the community to nominate more Aboriginal Places. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The McLeod sisters, Donna and Sharon, were instrumental in

Delegate Aboriginal Reserve was used for meeting, camping, teaching and resource collection by the Ngarigo, Monaro, and other local Aboriginal people of the region. It is located within Ngarigo Country, and was a government-managed Aboriginal Reserve between 1892 and 1957.

Photos: Lucy Morrell substantial traditional Aboriginal High Country meeting place and former Aboriginal Reserve was important to help people maintain their connections to country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Acknowledging Delegate Aboriginal Reserve as an Aboriginal Place preserves its Aboriginal history without hindering the current land use,â&#x20AC;? Mr House said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This place is rich in traditional resources and provides Aboriginal people with a bush schoolroom, a place where children learn from their Elders about their history, cultural practices, traditional stories, and spiritual interpretations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The gazettal of Delegate Aboriginal Reserve is a modern example of recognising an areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shared history and the relationships

between Aboriginal people and settlers, which continue today.â&#x20AC;?

Aboriginal Place declarations acknowledge that Aboriginal culture is living and continuing, and that the connection of Aboriginal people to land and culture is immensely important to their wellbeing and future.

The declaration of an Aboriginal Place does not change the status of the land or affect ownership rights.

However, a person must not harm or desecrate an Aboriginal Place.

The Office of Environment and Heritage supports this and many other local public programs in which people work together, with mutual respect, to honour and acknowledge the declaration of Aboriginal Places.

The Child Care Rebate is NOT income tested

The Australian Government offers two types of ďŹ nancial assistance for child care: the Child Care BeneďŹ t and the Child Care Rebate.

The Child Care Rebate is not income tested.

It pays up to 50% of your out-of-pocket costs.

Up to $7,500 per child, per year.

The Rebate helps to cover the costs of approved child care, including out of school hours care.

If you use approved child care for work, study or training, you may be eligible.

For more information on what you are entitled to and how to claim, visit australia.gov.au/mychild or call 13 24 68

CCR1/C8

Continued from Page 3.

He said the local councils were already resource sharing and working together to share costs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about collaboration and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supportive of thatâ&#x20AC;? he said.

However, Cr Lynch was not enthusiastic about the review panels proposal to create county councils, as well as amalgamate councils with fewer than 5000 ratepayers and establish local â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;boardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to provide community input.

Cr Lynch said this was creating even more bureaucracy than exists now.

The review panel has made a number of recommendations or suggestions about the future of local government, the responsibilities of mayors and councilors, creating a sustainable system; ensuring fiscal responsibility, build strong regions and refocus on local government.

For example, the review panel makes the following recommendations about the shape of councils: Local Whilst there is a need for increased scale in some aspects of the local government system, submissions to the Panel have rightly stressed the importance of keeping the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;localâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in local government â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the sense of place and community identity that is so important to the quality of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives.

Opponents of amalgamation rely heavily on the argument that local identity will be lost in bigger local government units; that larger councils will pay less attention to specific needs of different suburbs or neighbourhoods and will fail to take steps to maintain their character. Certainly people may fear that this will happen, and there have been a few cases (just five, including four recently in Queensland) where community pressure has led to de-amalgamation.

However, the Panel can find no evidence that loss of local identity is an inevitable consequence of creating larger local government areas. What does seem clear is that very rarely communities are so different, or so fiercely independent, that forcing them to share a local council is probably unwise. Experience also suggests that special efforts need to be made after an amalgamation, or in a large, growing local government area, to support local identity at the level of suburbs and townships, or in the pre-existing council areas.

Many councils have done this successfully and the concept of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;place managementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is well understood.

Clearly, it is simply not possible to have a separate council for every identifiable place or community.

That would mean, for instance, dividing Sydney into hundreds of suburban council areas. The Panel therefore believes that a range of methods have to be used to keep the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;localâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in larger local government areas. These can include: â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Place managementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; approaches as mentioned above, with community committees, suburb or townships plans and development projects, and local service centres â&#x20AC;˘ Dividing local government areas into wards, with ward councillors convening local committees or forums â&#x20AC;˘ Using new technologies to establish closer contact between councils and their communities, to inform and engage local people, and to conduct â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;citizens panelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or online forums to explore community views and ideas Local Boards would have perhaps 5-7 elected members and would carry out functions delegated to them by an individual council or County Council. They could be established: â&#x20AC;˘ To replace small rural or remote councils that lack the capacity to undertake a full range of local government functions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as a general rule, the Panel considers that conversion to Local Board status would be appropriate for councils with current or projected populations of less than 5000 â&#x20AC;˘ To provide representation and some delegated service delivery at suburb or district level within very large metropolitan councils â&#x20AC;˘ As a transitional measure to ensure continued community identity and representation when several existing small-medium councils are amalgamated into a much larger local government area.

A new set of legislative provisions would be required for Local Boards and the Panel will be formulating those in detail over the next three months, after consultation with the Local Government Acts Task Force and other key stakeholders. â&#x20AC;˘ Modern customer service systems that ensure swift replies to requests for information and rapid responses to problems or concerns.

Local Boards As indicated in the Section 2, the Panel sees a need for an additional option for community governance in the form of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Local Boardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. This idea revives the Barnett Committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal 40 years ago for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Community Councilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;; it also echoes experience with similar structures in Britain and New Zealand.

Helping YOU Prosper Can YOU afford to Invest?

The first question you need to ask yourself is “Can I afford not to invest?”

Why? Due to the election approaching, there is a number of reasons why pre-election will be one of the best times to invest for years to come, don’t miss out on the opportunity!

There is no doubt You do not need to be wealthy to invest but you do need to invest to wealthy. I know I have said this before. I am just passionate about helping you go forward in life, and there is no doubt when people see their financial future on track it makes you much happier in life today whilst securing your future.

So what are the numbers, as with all investments and businesses it is all about the numbers?

Property investment is no different, sadly too many people get all emotional with property which generally causes new investors to invest poorly, and that normally causes enough pain that causes them to sell up for a loss or break even and never invest again.

18 Mary Street Berridale $229,000 3 Bed 1 Bath 1 Car As the hub of the Snowy River Shire, Berridale offers summer and winter activities at its doorstep, providing a perfect and affordable base for holiday makers all year round.

The property we are offering is within walking distance to the town centre, schools and a sports oval. The property is a three bedroom Hardie plank home with aluminium windows and colourbond roof. The wet areas have been updated while two bedrooms have BIW’s.

This home has the full package starting with a wide front veranda and enclosed rear patio as well as another verandah at the rear. All this add to the living space.

Included is a wood heater electric cooking and hot water.

A single car garage with workshop attached and there are a number of smaller sheds.

The block is level and fully fenced, perfect for children and pets.

Back to the numbers, based on where you invest and what type of property and what is your borrowing capacity.

You can start with no savings at all, actually most people start with zero savings.

How? They utilise their equity in their home or in another property, or their parent’s property. Your own home is a non deductable debt, by not utilising your equity it is like burying that money in your back yard. Why not utilise as little as $20,000 and turn that money into fully deductable debt. You are not losing that money you are transferring that equity into another property and now you have two growth assets working for you. With the correct financial structure your home is completely secure. As the investment property is security for itself.

If you do not own a property for equity you can utilise savings, based on your budget the deposit and costs can be easily calculated.

Everyday Australian’s can invest and if they invest wisely they can duplicate out of the investment properties equity and buy a second and repeat this duplication over and over again and easily own 6 houses in 10 years.

The power of compounding capital growth is the answer to real wealth, it is not rocket science it is just growth on growth!

Next week I will discuss why Pre Election is an opportunity not to be missed for all investors!

Each year on the second Sunday in May, children of all ages treat their mothers to something special. It is the one-day of the year when children, young and old, can show, in a tangible way, how much their mothers mean to them.

Leading up to Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day local Cooma mothers have had time to reflect on what they would like to be given on the day from their children.

The votes are in and the consensus has been reached, children are going to have a tough time this year with most mothers just wanting a day off work.

Lorraine Robinson, however, would prefer two weeks off and Louise Lynch would like a new diamond to replace the one she lost recently; not a big ask at all.

But seriously, Lorraine and Louise along with many other mothers simply want a nice family day off with breakfast in bed and without having to cook or clean.

to children is to â&#x20AC;&#x153;just get your mum something that she perhaps wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy for herself.â&#x20AC;?

Sandra Brabon from Cooma Pet Shop would like a more practical gift of something to pamper herself with like a voucher or products from somewhere like Country Skin Reflections. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like a day off but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably not realistic,â&#x20AC;? Sandra laughed.

Ros Mackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughters have left home and live in Sydney so all that Ros wants for motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day is just to be with her family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to just go out somewhere nice with the girls for brunch and we will probably drive up to Sydney to see them but it would be nice if they could come home and surprise me,â&#x20AC;? said Ros. There will be a lot of mums to fuss over in Monica Burchallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family with five generations of women in the family after Georgia Rose Collins was born last month (see picture). But on Mothers Day this family wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just be celebrating mothers, as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also greatgreat grandmother, Josie Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 83rd birthday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be having some kind of birthday celebration for mum, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just be getting together as a family. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really want anything for Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day but some flowers or something might be nice,â&#x20AC;? explained Monica.

Bronnie Taylor unfortunately wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to spend time with her two daughters this year as she will be opening the Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Classic in Jindabyne, supporting all the mums there who are raising money for Breast Cancer Research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just love to spend time with my family so I suppose the best present would be if my two teenage daughters came home for the weekend or if they bought me something from Louise Lynchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new shop [Your House].â&#x20AC;?

Vicki Schoo has been trying for 24 years to get a nice framed photo of her kids for Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day but she says it has definitely been a struggle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All I want is a nice framed photo of the kidsâ&#x20AC;Ś and a puppy,â&#x20AC;? Vicki laughed.

So the verdict is in, the best thing you can give your mum on motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day is a day off, some pampering, breakfast in bed and some family time.

HOW PROUD WE SHOULD BE Yes, the 110 guests that attended last Sunday’s Youth Concert at St Pauls Church Hall were indeed amazed and delighted with the talent of our young people.

The Youth Concert featured Harp, Bassoon, Saxophone, Flute, Guitar, Trombone, Vocal and Piano recital as well as a Youth Choir. Ages ranged from 11 to 20 years old.

Seen enjoying the concert were Robin Mould, Pat Green, Nella Bacon, Elaine Mooney, Marilyn Spellman and Russell Fox. ST VINCENT DE PAUL The above organisation is celebrating its 200th Year – what a record and a successful one at that helping so many people.

Its Founder was Frederic Ozanbam who with other friends decided 200 years ago that they wished to assist others in need -so the story began.

An invitation is extended to you to attend Mass at

the Catholic Church next Sunday at 10am followed by morning tea in the Parish Centre.

BIRTHDAY LUNCHEON Eight guests enjoyed a delicious four-course luncheon last Thursday to celebrate Pauline Rad’s birthday. Pauline is our charming hostess from the Canteen at TAFE College, Cooma.

Pauline was the hostess at her own home and among the guests were Rosi Schenker, Marion Mondello, Leony Snell, Marliess Kappell and Robin Mould. Many happy returns of the day, Pauline.

INVITATION The friends of the Dalgety Women’s Day invite you to Dalgety Women’s Day on Wednesday May 15.

There will be entertainment, raffles, give-aways and highlight of course is the guest speaker much loved Noeline Brown (also a great comedian.)

Noeline is Ambassador for Ageing.

The theme is connections and caring and a day of friendship is promised.

Tickets are available at Cooma Visitors Centre, Snowy River Shire Council Offices at Berridale and Jindabyne.

CWA are making up lunches please phone them before May 10 or take along a picnic lunch.

Cooma CWA meeting President Barbara Scanes welcomed 14 members to the April meeting of Cooma CWA and accepted apologies from four members.

All members were thanked for their efforts over the past month and presentations were made to the ladies who worked so hard for the BlazeAid workers at Nimmitabel.

Reports were give from the Group Council meeting which was held at Dalgety in March.

Members were reminded of important group events coming up.

April 29 was ACWW day and women were asked to take part in “Women Walk the World” to raise funds for oversees projects.

Group Cultural day is June 18 at Bredbo, Group facts day is planned for June 24 at Bredbo. Within the Cooma branch the June

meeting will be held on the third due to the normal meeting for the 10th being the pubic holiday.

The annual Curry Luncheon is to be held on Friday June 28 and more information will be announced later.

The proceeds this year are to be divided between CWA projects and the local Community Chest. A number of the latest CWA cook books have been ordered and will be available for sale next month.

Grassroots Farmers should comment

Wednesday May 1, 2013

Schute Bell wool report Sales were held on Tuesday and Wednesday last week to allow for ANZAC day. The market opened the week solidly and was even showing some improvement on top of last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gains.

This was however short lived with Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market closing unchanged and Wednesday heralding the continuation of the downtrend that commenced in early March. The mid micron categories bore the brunt of the falls with lower style types particularly struggling.

35,396 bales were sold nationally for the week with a passed in rate of 16.3%. Major buyers included Viterra, Lempriere and Techwool with the falling market seemingly encouraging a healthy spread of buyers.

Quantities on offer over the next three weeks are hovering around the 40,000 mark which if correct will be higher than the corresponding period last year but certainly not large by any stretch of the imagination.

The pressure could be on the market again next week if the Fremantle sale after the Eastern seaboard closed is any indication.

49% of the offering was passed in with selected micron indicators dropping up to 45 cents.

This Weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sales 41,284 bales are expected to be offer nationally next week with just 9,903 of these in Sydney. Schute Bell, Wool Auctions, Goddard & Monaro Wool are selling on Thursday May 2.

NSW Farmers will be lobbying on behalf of our members following the release of the Independent Local Government Review Future directions for local government paper.

NSW Farmers Business Economics and Trade Committee chair Bill McDonnell said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Representing one of the largest ratepayer bases in rural areas, NSW Farmers is concerned about the financial stability and provision of services by local governments.â&#x20AC;?

Mr McDonnell said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Despite the report proposing a number of local councils in rural and regional areas would benefit from amalgamations, NSW Farmers continues to strongly support the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current position of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no forced amalgamationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Councils need to be able to make the judgment on what is best for them and their constituents.â&#x20AC;? he said â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are concerned that the panelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preference is to abolish rate pegging.â&#x20AC;? Mr McDonnell said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Local councils donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t face any competition on price or services. It is therefore suitable that there be a regulatory mechanism that prevents unaccountable increases in rate base revenue.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;As such we strongly believe that the rate

23

pegging provisions remain.â&#x20AC;? he said â&#x20AC;&#x153;We welcome the exploration of new sources of revenue given the limited rating bases for rural and regional councils.â&#x20AC;? Mr McDonnell said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of the increase in cost for local government is the result of costshifting from other levels of government without appropriate compensation.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both state and federal governments must firmly establish priorities for local government funding to allow local governments to plan for longer term commitments.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We support the idea that consideration needs to be given to redistributing more of the grant funds to the most needy councils and communities in reflection of the higher infrastructure costs experienced by rural councils.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is concerning the review panel considers the current fiscal climate a limitation on any increase in grant funding from the federal government, yet seemingly foresees an unlimited ability for councils to extract more revenue from their own ratepayers.â&#x20AC;? Mr McDonnell said

Weed Spraying using Glyphosate New radio equipment for Noxious Weeds Management Services receive a large number of inquiries from land holders regarding poor and mixed results from their spot spraying of serrated tussock and African lovegrass.

On inspection, the poor results have been most commonly attributed to a result of incorrect application of Glyphosate (i.e. Round-up, Wipeout, Touchdown, Growler).

Glyphosate is one of the most widely used herbicides for the control of weeds. This chemical is most effective against actively growing plants and needs to be used in the correct way to achieve adequate results.

Analysis of failed spray jobs has found that most commonly the right amount of chemical had been used as per label directions, with poor results having occurred due to two major factors, poor technique and/or poor timing.

Glyphosate and how it works Glyphosate is absorbed through plant leaves. It is then carried by the sap stream into the plant roots, where it prevents them from absorbing nutrients from the soil â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereby killing the plant.

This process is achieved most efficiently when plants are growing actively with ample soft, green tissue so that they are able to quickly absorb enough chemical to destroy the plant.

Getting the best results To get the best results from spraying with Glyphosate make sure that: - Plants are actively growing;

- There is plenty of fresh green growth to absorb enough of the spray mix to kill the plant - spray only when there is enough foliage to ensure adequate chemical intake; - Leaves are free of frost or heavy dew; - Dry conditions; - No rain is expected for at least six hours; - If the breeze is strong enough to shake the foliage of trees and bushes, it is probably too windy to spray safely; and - More is not better.

Glyphosate, like all registered herbicides, works best when applied at the correct rate.

Applying more than is needed is not only unnecessary it also places you and the environment at risk.

Glyphosate is a contact chemical that can affect all plants it contacts, so be aware of possible off target damage.

Use the recommended amount of spray mix needed according to the directions on the label, to achieve uniform coverage of the target foliage without runoff.

Always read the label before use.

If you require further information, please contact Weed Management Services 02 6455 1777.

Weekly Market Update - Week ending Friday, 26 April 2013

Shannons Flat/Yaouk RFS

Clunie Fraser (Shannons Flat/Yaouk Rural Fire Brigade volunteer), Jim Darrat (RFS District Manager Monaro), Norman Marshall (Shannons Flat/Yaouk Rural Fire Brigade volunteer) & John Barilaro MP. Shannons Flat/Yaouk Rural Fire Brigade volunteers will soon take possession of a radio repeater thanks to funds generously donated through a grant from NSW Emergency Services.

The Member for Monaro John Barilaro today presented the Shannons Flat/ Yaouk volunteers with a $4,000 cheque on behalf of the NSW Minister for Police & Emergency Services Michael Gallacher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Minister Gallacher stumped up the additional funding necessary for the purchase of a UHFCB radio repeater to supplement the money already earmarked for it from the Commonwealth,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Barilaro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our RFS volunteers perform a crucial and sometimes dangerous role in our community, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important they have the

appropriate equipment to undertake this vital job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope that this extra piece of communication equipment will go a long way in aiding volunteers with the tools they need to help protect their community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The brigadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts in providing fire fighting services to the region are very much appreciated.â&#x20AC;?

A radio repeater extends the range of transmission by receiving and automatically rebroadcasting a transmission using an antenna located in a high location, normally the top of a mountain, tall building or radio tower.

Sometimes a transmission range of over 100 kilometres can be achieved through the use of a repeater.

Australian wool production increase

â&#x20AC;˘ The Australian Wool Production Forecasting Committee has increased the forecast of shorn wool production for 2012/13 to 350mkg, 2.3% above the 342mkg produced in 2011/12. The increase is due to an expected 3.3% rise in the number of sheep shorn, partly offset by 1.1% fall in average fleece weight â&#x20AC;˘ The Committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first projection for 2013/14 has been set at 345 mkgs, down 1.4% from 2012/13, as a result of an expected decrease in sheep numbers and a reduction in average fleece weight next season.

The Australian Wool Production Forecasting Committee (AWPFC) has increased the 2012/13 shorn wool production forecast to 350 million kilograms (mkg) greasy, up 2.3% from 2011/12 levels.

Committee chairman Russell Pattinson

commented that reports from state committees and recent data such as Australian Wool Testing Authority (AWTA) year on year pre-sale wool test data (+3% till end March) were the main reasons for the small upward revision in production for this season.

Wool production gains for 2012/13 are a result of increases in New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia, which have more than offset the slight decreases in wool production in Victoria, Tasmania and Queensland.

The AWPFC reports higher opening sheep and sheep shorn numbers for this season, and a slightly lower fall in fleece weights than previously expected, as being the key drivers in the increased forecast from the December estimate.

Monaro Panel Beaters U9 It was a great first up effort by the U’9s Sunday, narrowly going down to the Tuggeranong Knights in a tight battle, fighting hard all the way to the end. Brock Freeburn was very strong in defence and attack, making good metres running out wide. Kayla Fleming and newcomer Michael Day worked excellently together, both running extremely hard through the middle proving difficult to stop.

Lachlan Hemphill and Talon Kelly were both very busy, making long, much needed runs around the outside, showing plenty of speed and evasive skills. Also new to the team, Alex Aitkenhead and Flynn Palmer were well involved, making good runs and helping out in defence every time they were needed.

Adam Constance battled through bravely despite feeling a little under the weather, with his typical weaving runs through the middle.

James Bannon didn’t stop all game, calling the shots in attack and his defence was outstanding. Cody Clarke got himself involved at every chance with some good tackles. Barrett Bannon made some good solid runs and filling in at dummy half and first receiver like a pro. Kristian Zusak was great at dummy half and made some good long runs out wide. Marcus Riley was also very busy with some good runs up the middle.

Franks Butchery U13 The under 13’s travelled to West Belconnen for their first game of the season playing West Belconnen Gold.

The boys started off brilliantly scoring consistently; their defence was outstanding as well. West Belconnen tried to come back but the boys were too strong keeping the ball in their possession. The boys left the score 38 points to 6 points at half time. The second half was as strong as the first with the team winning the game 58 points to 6. Try scorers for the day were Lachlan Inskip 2, Lachlan Jones 1, James Hill 2, Luke Day 2 and Bill Zammit 4. Goal kickers Lachlan Inskip 3, Jak Adams 1, Luke Day 2 and Bill Zammit 1.

The team welcomes newcomers Jak Adams, Josh McConkey and Will Saddler who all had an outstanding first game. The medal went to Bill Zammit for man of the match. Two points to James Hill and 1 point to Lachlan Inskip. Encouragement Trophy went to Will Saddler. Thank you to First Aid Officer Jo Zammit and League Safe Officers Nic DwyerGersak and Pete Gersak.

Snowy Plains Merino Stud U14 The under 14s started off the season travelling to Melba to play

Belconnen United in Zone 1.

With only 12 players the boys were already at a disadvantage then injury saw the boys down to 11 players.

Matty Robinson and Carson Barrett made some valuable metres and the first try came from a kick through by Jake Hedger to see new recruit Jamie Rogers score in the corner. The score at half time was 24 to 4.

In the second both Timothy and Declan Gregory made valuable runs to help the forwards out. Carson Barrett tried hard all day in both attack and defence along with Kane Trent-Smith, Patrick Connolly and Alex Swan. Carson Barrett’s efforts were rewarded by scoring two tries from running off Jake Hedger and Will Shingles. The boys put up a great effort however went down 48 to 12. Player of the week went to Matty Robinson.

Australian Hotel U16 The Cooma Colts Under 16s took on Belconnen United Sharks in the first game of the season at Northbourne Oval in Canberra on Friday night.

The Sharks continued to grind their way forward with basic yet effective play. The Colts were up to the challenge in defence and when they had another opportunity after 23 minutes were able to post their second try, via Josh Zammit. The boys took a 12-4 lead into half time.

In the second half the message was simple - hold the football and complete your sets. The Colts forwards carried this out early on making good metres, putting the Sharks defence on the back foot.

This was exploited by Tyler Jones, diving over for a try from dummy half to extend the lead to 18-4. Simple errors and poor discipline lead to the Sharks attacking close to the Colts line and with a converted try had the Colts lead cut back to 8, and were unlucky not to score again, spilling the ball with the line wide open.

The Colts looked to hit back shortly afterwards with strong lead up work by the Cooma forwards only to knock on in an attacking position. After absorbing further pressure the Colts defence held and then Josh Zammit made a break on his own 20m line and raced 80m to score to take the lead to 22-10, which remained until full time.

A great start to the season with good hit outs from the two debutants - Ben Trotter and Liam Graf. Austin Riley again was a workhorse in attack and defence. The medal was awarded to Aaron Pidcock for a great all round game.

Cats back on track with big win The Aussie Hotel Cooma Cats have bounced back with a big win over the Gunghalin Jets in an historic first-ever night match for the club in Canberra last Friday night.

The final score read Cooma 12-22-94 defeating the Jets 3-6-24.

The win gives the Cats 3 wins from four games in the start for the club in recent memory.

The Cats are now entrenched in the top half of the ladder in the 2013 AFL Canberra Division Three competition and should cement this sport next week when they take on Ainslie - a team they have had the better of in recent years.

Cooma Cats coach Damien Asanovski said while he was happy with the win, he was disappointed in the poor kicking in front of goal which saw the Cats kick 22 behinds.

“We should have won by at least another 10 goals which would have been great for our percentage, but our poor kicking in front of goal let us down. It is something we are going to need to work hard at,” Azzo said.

The Cats were never really troubled in the game, controlling the ball well and doing what they needed to secure the valuable four points.

The atmosphere of a playing a game under

lights for the first time was enjoyed by all who ventured to the Greenway Oval in Tuggeranong for the match, despite the cold and frosty conditions.

“While we lost a home-ground advantage by playing the game in Canberra, I think it was important to give the players the opportunity to play competition footy under lights. It was a great experience for all concerned and we hope we may be able to do it more often in the future,” Azzo said.

The Cats take on Ainslie at Ainslie Oval in Canberra next Saturday in a game they should win, and must win to reinforce their positive start to the season.

First bounce is at midday.

The Snowy Supercats Under 14s will start their season this Saturday against St Edmunds in Canberra at 11am.

Anyone 14 years or under wanting play AFL this year is welcome to come down to training at Snowy Oval on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 5pm, or call team manager Dave Innes on 0411171489.

Cooma women’s bowls On Tuesday April 23 Cooma hosted the first round of the grade three Pennants against the previous State Grade four winners for 2011 and last year’s runners-up Cooma, everyone expecting a tough encounter ahead .

On rink 3 M D’Amico, O Jebbink, K Sach, M Zazzo played G Daal, L Theobald, L Waters, L McMahon.

Cooma struggled to find their form and found themselves down most of the game.

However by end seven, the scores were five all but from here on Adaminaby girls drew great draw bowls and positively skipped by Lyn were able to capitalise on this.

Even when Margherita’s team tried to bridge the gap it was not to be, Adaminaby winning 23-10 .

Rink three was a much closer tussle between the two teams. Cooma’s team of D Russell, H Peuker, G Caldwell, L Snell (Skip) was against T Sanders, P Brayshaw, C McMahon, A Madden (skip).

Leonie’s team led until the halfway mark when Adaminaby drew level 8 all, with only minimum shots being won by both teams till end 18.

Adaminaby picked up four shots to lead 1610 .

Cooma was able to pick up the remaining three ends but not enough shots to give them the win.

Adaminaby defeated Cooma 16-14.

Congratulations to all the teams as it wasn’t the most pleasant day for bowls with the wind changing its direction and the sun popping in and out the clouds.

Adaminaby took the day 5-0 with the aggregate 39-24.

On Wednesday April 24 it was Adaminaby’s turn to play Cooma on their home greens.

It was a cold frosty morning to start but the sun was shining early, just a cool nippy wind blowing across the greens

at times .

Cooma was off to a better start this morning and all girls were playing more confidently showing their capabilities and gusto.

On rink two, M Zasso’s team played A Madden’s team.

Cooma led 10-5 by end seven but not to be outdone, Adaminaby found form and drew level 11 all on end 12.

From here on it was game on and over the next eight ends the game was very competitive end for end and at the 20th end 20 all.

Two shots to Cooma on the last end gave them the win 22- 20. A great effort girls and well done.

Rink 3 D Russell, H Peuker, H Walker, L Snell played the top team from Tuesday, G Daal, L Theobald, L Waters, L McMahon.

After playing so confidently the day before Lyn’s team found themselves struggling for the same form .

This gave Leonie’s team the drive to show their ability to play the great draw and on shots they are capable of, to come out convincing winners 21 – 13.

A wonderful effort girls .

Unfortunately for Cooma although they came out winners on the day 5 –0, 43 points to 33, alas the aggregate over the two days 72 to Adaminaby 67 to Cooma which gave Adaminaby the over all score by 5.

They will now go to Tathra for the playoffs as the number three Pennant Team and Cooma no four’s will represent Cooma on May 20 and 21.

Congratulations to all the teams and Ladies that played through out the season and good luck to Cooma and Adaminaby girls.

Hopefully the Snowy Mountains will be represented at Port Stephens In August again in the State Play-offs.

Cooma bowling club a busy venue The weekend bowls kicked off on Anzac Day with the first of the Handicap Pairs being played between Ron Gammon and Nelson Wallace up against Bob Douglass and Stephen “Cobber” Seears who got 1 ½ shots start.

Bob and Cobber started well winning the first two ends, Ron and Nelson then set the scene winning the next seven ends to go to an eight shot lead. They weren’t challenged until end 15 when Cobber picked up a maximum six shots to close the gap to four.

One shot on the next end gave them a sniff however Ron and Nelson closed ranks and picked up 12 shots on the run home for a comfortable 31 to 22.5. On Saturday there were seven games of Handicap Pairs played and some results did not go according to form.

The handicap system was the winner as all were close games with the exception of Red’s and Mick Manille who had a resounding victory over Skip Hamilton and Mel Storta.

As this was Skip’s first game of competition bowls we needn’t write so much into this score all we hope was that he enjoyed the game and it has him wanting more.

The score, Red 28 Storta 10.

Other games were a lot closer and played out closer to handicap. Sergio Roncelli and Ignazio Mondello defeated Alan Crowe and Gary Taylor 22-18. Colin Peuker and Geoff Venabled def Steve Lapham and Jack Sajina 26-24, Gordon Cox and Tom Reed def Jason Thompson and Wayne Lodge 22-16Mario Frezza ans Ron Wainwright def Mick Mayhew and Mark Buckley 2927, Albie Marshall and Paul Cannell def Max Povey and Neil McGregor 27- 251/2 and John Vincent and Peter Caldwell def Don Jarvis and Peter Marsicano 26-22.

Games continued on Sunday and Semi-Final spots were up for grabs.

Geoff Venables and Colin Peuker continued their good form and accounted for Sergio Roncelli and Ignazio Mondello 27-2 to book a place in the semis against John Vincent and Peter Caldwell.

Peter was not available on Sunday and had an able sub in John Schoon who combined with John Vincent to defeat Tom Reed and Tony Gray by the smallest margins of the weekend 26-25 ½.

Mario Frezza and Ron Wainwright must have played all their good bowls on Saturday as they were not able to keep up the momentum and went down to Mike Manille and Red Roberson 25-19.

The sleepers in the competition are Albie Marshall and Paul Cannell who followed up a good victory on Saturday with an equally impressive effort on Sunday to account for Ron Gammon and Nelson Wallace 26-21.

Social Bowls and18 players turned up to take advantage of the great conditions on Anzac Day and enjoyed a pre-game barebcue and then a competitive afternoon on the greens. Initially all games were supposed to be over 18 ends however as it was such a good day these were extended to 21 ends.

Lorraine West, Mario Frezza and Peter Marsicano played Dave Pendrik (a visitor from Tumbarumba) Sergio Roncelli and Neil Mcgregor. For 15 ends Peter’s team enjoyed the game and set up a 16 to 8 lead. Then the wheels fell off and Neil’s team then won six ends in a row to score 15 shots and run out winners 23 – 16.

Daphne Buckley, Guilio D’Amico and Paul Cannell played Lestelle Lodge, Colin “Red” Roberson and Geoff VenablesPaul’s team set up a good lead after ends to be up by 3 shots. Geoff’s team then won 6 of the next 8 ends to win by 22 – 14.

Renate Winckel, Jack Sajina and Wayne Lodge were

up against Olga Jebbink, Richard Nichols and Mark Buckley. This was a game were both teams played well but when the ends were decided Mark’s team were always holding the shots and they ran out convincing winners. Maybe Wayne will not forget to bring his own bowls next time.

On Saturday there was one game of social bowls with L Snell playing swinging lead the others were Dave Pendrik, Renate Winckel and Denis Steinfort up against Rulie Steinfort, Elaine Taylor and Daphne Buckley. This was a game of two periods where firstly Daphne’s team ran up comfortable lead only to see Denis’ team fight back thanks to 13 shots on two ends. Then they settled down to fight it out to the end and a 23 all draw was a fitting result.

Only one game of social bowls on Sunday to round out the weekend wad played between Max Povey and Evelyn Hamilton against Skip Hamilton and Neil McGregor. In what was a good fun afternoon, Neil’s team were the victors 21-13.

Next weekend will see the District Champion of Champions played at Cooma on Saturday.

In the singles Graham Clarke (Adaminaby) will play Chris Demczuk (Jindabyne) in the morning game commencing at 9.30am. The winner of this game will play Wayne Lodge (Cooma) in the final in the afternoon.

Also in the afternoon the pairs final will be played between Tom Reed (subbing for Peter Schroeder) and Neil McGregor (Cooma) playing B Lowe and David “JT” Turner (Jindabyne.

The seni-finals of the Club Handicap Pairs will also be played on Saturday and this will be Peter Caldwell’s team will play G Venables team and Col Roberson’s team will play Paul Cannell’s team.

Cooma girl tops in cutting circuit

Stallions under 18s

Former Cooma girl, Helen Bottom, has had a great 12 months in her chosen horse sport of cutting.

She finished 2012 winning the National Title for the $10,000 non-pro as well as being runnerup in the National $500 non-pro.

Helen also both the $5000 and $10,000 events at Wild Horse and Maura Shows and was co-champion in the Open non-pro at Paradise Lagoons.

A horse rider since about the age of six, Helenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first horse was an ex-racehorse.

She later joined the pony club and went on to compete in the hacks events at local shows , then dressage at state level.

Later, she started campdrafting and in 2007, cutting caught hold of her when she tried twohanded cutting.

At the time, Helen was living and working on a cattle station between Bowen and Collinsville.

Her early cutting education came from DVDs and practice.

The next year Helen moved to Kemmis Creek

Cooma Stallions Under 18s took on the Moruya Sharks at Cooma Showground last Sunday, winning 38- 22.

station, working for Graham and Craig Ross.

This is where she found her horse, Yulgilbar Missouri, and first showed him in 2009.

Missouri has since won $63,000 in prizemoney and Helen says, gives her 110 percent â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;every single timeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Helen and her partner James Parker now live and work on Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; family property at Monto, Queensland.

James is also a cutting competitor and Helen said his influence has helped her achieve what she has to date.

Helen will compete in the 2013 NCHA Futurity at the Australian Equestrian and Livestock Centre in Tamworth from May 30 to June 9.

This time she will compete on a Pepto gelding she co-owns with Craig Ross.

Helen has broken in and trained this horse herself.

Red Devils too strong for Hall The Cooma Red Devils travelled to Hall to take on the Hall Bushrangers on Saturday afternoon and came away with the competition points.

Reserve grade took to the field looking to get back on track after last week’s loss to Yass.

Cooma started well and from the kick off were applying pressure to Hall with good defence keeping Hall down inside their own half and for the first 10 minutes both sides slogged it out.

Cooma was first to score points when Nathan Boate grubbered through for Chris Roberson to run through and score. Nathan Boate converted and Cooma were off to a good start.

Cooma then worked the ball down the field and this time Neil Schouten was able to catch Hall out after Cooma was awarded a penalty 15m out. Neil took a quick tap catching the defence with their backs turned and scored under the posts.

Boate converted and Cooma was out to a 14-0 lead. From the kick off Cooma worked the ball back down the field with good running from Aerial Miners, Cody Henderson and Kingsley Vance.

Cooma on the back of a penalty and a lineout win worked the ball close to the line where Nathan Boate was able to dive over. He converted his own try and Cooma was out to a 21-0 lead.

The Red Devils were again able to post points. This time it was the backs who were

able to create space with Ben Kelly and Tom Laddams making metres through the middle quick ball then allowed Pat Egan to link up with Mitch Doyle to score his first for the afternoon.

This was unconverted but it gave Cooma a 26-0 lead with five minutes to go in the half but Cooma wasn’t finished and after a good phase of pick and drives from the forwards the backs were given room to move and Tom Laddams was able to burrow and bash his way across the line. This was unconverted and Cooma went into half time leading 31-0.

Cooma came out in the second half determined to keep the momentum that they already had. For the first 10 minutes Hall controlled the ball and the game but Cooma’s defence held tight with good tackling from Tom McGuire, Luke Van Der Platt and Curtis Watkins. On the back of this strong defence, Cooma was able to turn defence into attack and on the back of a good short side raid Aerial Miners was able to crash through the defence and score.

With a successful conversion Cooma extended the lead to 38-0. The Red Devils kept playing good footy and worked the ball back down to the Hall line where Cooma was awarded a penalty. From the tap Cooma worked a blindside move and Kingsley was able to put Mitch Doyle over for his second for the afternoon.

The Red Devils were not finished there and from the kick off Cooma worked the ball back

up field. This then saw Pat Egan in space with only the full back to beat. Pat chipped and chased only to see the ball beat him over the dead ball line.

From the 22m drop out Cooma worked the ball back towards the Hall try line. This time Pat Egan was able to crash over to give Cooma a 48-0 victory. Points in second grade this week, 1 point Neil Schouten and Luke Van Der Platt, 2 points Nathan Boate, 3 points Aerial Miners and player’s player Nathan Boate.

First grade wons 24-16 First grade took to the field on Saturday ready to make up for their disappointing loss to Yass the week before.

From the opening whistle, Cooma knew they were going to have to work hard for the next 80 minutes if they were to come away with a victory.

Hall started well and applied a lot of pressure to the Cooma line. Cooma’s defence held tight but Hall were able to secure first points through a 40m penalty goal.

Cooma looked to hit back with the forwards making good metres on the back of strong runs from Pat Egan, Damien Hopkins and Matt Gibbs.

From this momentum Will Nichols was able to run to the line and kick through for Ryan Morgan to sprint through, pick up the ball and score.

Will Nicholls converted but Hall then hit straight back with a try of their own to lead

8-7. Cooma was looking good in patches but silly mistakes were allowing any momentum to be stopped.

Cooma was next to score when Will Nicholls was able to link up with Ben Kelly and he was able to score. Will converted and Cooma had a 14-8 lead. Hall then kicked a penalty after Cooma was again penalised for ill discipline.

The Red Devils extended the lead just before half time when Chris De Rooy was able to barge over to give the Devils a 19-11 half time lead.

The second half saw both sides throw everything at each other and it was Cooma’s defence that cracked first with Hall scoring a try out wide which was unconverted.

Cooma had to rely on defence and good tackling from Andrew Rolfe, Matt Lee, Leighton Bates and Curtis Watkins stopped any attacking raids in their tracks.

Hall applied pressure to the Cooma line for a majority of the second half but Cooma held strong and after Cooma was able to pinch the ball a clearing kick was charged down by Hall but Ryan Morgan was able to pick up the loose ball and sprint 70 metres and score.

Will was unable to convert but the try gave Cooma the breathing space they needed and the Red Devils held on for a 24-16 victory.

Points in first grade 1 point Matt Lee and Chris De Rooy, 2 points Andrew Rolfe, 3 points Ryan Morgan and player’s player Chris De Rooy.

Stallions lose to Moruya Sharks The Stallions took on the Moruya Sharks on Sunday at Cooma Showground, full of confidence as their pre season form was impressive.

However the Sharks were the team showing the most confidence and gave the Stallions a huge wakeup call and after 20 minutes were in front 12 nil.

The Stallions soon found some rhythm and after good lead up work the guys put on one of their special plays and Steve Dunn went in under the posts.

With the conversion successful the score was now 12 -6. The Stallions discipline was again getting them in trouble and Moruya were able to capitalise on a couple of penalties and cross for another converted try taking the score along to 18 – 6.

Once again Cooma were able to bounce back and after two good individual tries from the old stager Steven Russell and new boy Sam Dowsett they went into the break 18 – 16 down.

The second half started very promising for the boys and Jake Schofield made an elusive run down the left wing and crossed the stripe to put Cooma in front for the first time in the match.

Unfortunately an error of the restart gave the Sharks good field position and they crossed for a try and with the conversion they were again in the lead.

Cooma’s discipline again got them in

trouble and Caine Breiely walked through Cooma’s defence and crossed for a couple of easy tries.

Another from the sharks looked to have put them out of reach taking the score along to 38 – 22.

With seven minutes remaining the Stallion again hit back with two converted tries to Zach Smith and Adam Walters bringing the score to 38-34 giving the crowd a grandstand finish. With the clock ticking down a kick was put in for the outside backs but unfortunately it found touch and not a Stallion player and from the ensuing scrum and with the fulltime hooter

sounding the Moruya halfback ran 80 metres to score under the posts.

The conversion was successful leaving the full time score 44 – 34. The boys really tried hard but came up with too many penalties handing Moruya at least an extra six sets at them. The effort was there but discipline and some easy one on one missed tackles really was the difference between the two sides. The coach touched on an improvement in those areas and if that can happen they will take it to any side this year. Best for Cooma went to Todd Williams with Sam Dowsett also among the best.

Next week the first and reserve grade travel to Tathra who are coming off a good win over Eden last week. The under 18`s and league tag sides have a week off.

The B grade comp. was easily won by a fit and healthy Tim Bedingfiled with a round of the day 42 points.

In C grade Ken McGrath had fine 41 points to blits the field. Ball winners went to 35 points with Phil Patricks the last to gain a prize.

Nearest the pin on the ninth went to Andrew Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keeffe with a super shot and on the 17th Brian Searl put it nice and close.

Long drives went to Terry Johnston in A grade, Nick Massari in B grade and Greg Abraham in C grade.

On ANZAC day 27 golfers played in a single medley stableford in absolutely beautiful conditions.

Dave Paterson took out A grade with a fine 40 stableford points and included in that score was an eagle on the 16th hole.

B grade was won by Dom (the

tiler) Rossi also with a great round of 40 points and C grade saw Bill Fasch score 39 points.

Ball winners went down to Brian Searl with 34 points. Nearest the pin on the ninth went to Ben Langdon and on the 17th Denis Minehan continued his accurate stroke play.

On Sunday Frank McKnight continued his good form to win the event with a great 39 points.

Ball winners went down to 30 points. There were no nearest the pins at hand at the time of writing.

Last Wednesday scores were steady with Garry Atkinson taking out A grade scoring 37 points.

In B grade Frank McKnight had 35 points and Luke Day took out C grade with 37 points.

Ball winners went down to 34 points with our new President Steve Young just getting over the line.

Nearest the pin went to Gerard Day on the 9th and Geoffrey Glanville on the 17th. Both players receiving a ball for their great shots.

Next Saturday and Wednesday see individual medley stablefords for men with the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cooma Open on Sunday.

See you on the greens.

Young Stallions trial for Stingrays After being part of the Far South Monaro Rugby League Academy team, local under 18 stallions players Joel Smith, Blayne Thomas and Zane Weston were all selected in the Group 16 team to take on Group 7 for the opportunity to be selected in the Stingrays Team.

All three boys trialled at Dapto in hope of being selected in the South Coast Schoolboyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams then travelled on to Bega for group training the very same day.

Unfortunately the trials took their toll on Zane and Blayne who both sustained injuries in their games.

From there fellow team mate Richard Bensley was given the opportunity to join the group 16 team, but also sustained an injury to the knee at training.

Joel was the only one fit to trial last weekend. In two hard fought games group 16 ended up having a 14 all draw against Group 7, then on Sunday they played Illawarra and a fulltime draw saw the group 16 team lose in golden point.

The Stingrays team will play at the Country Championships in June in Newcastle.

Stallions Reserves 38 to 10 winners With their first hit out for the year the Cooma reserves hit the ground running, with great enthusiasm and all players keen to make an impression.

Some handling errors put the team under pressure early in the first half, but with some committed defence and perseverance from all the boys, they managed to turn things around and gain some more consistent ball control, which led to the first try out wide by winger Seb Jones, with the conversion unsuccessful Cooma led early 4 -0.

Although Moruya had struggled with numbers they managed to put a team on the park and they were here to play.

Their frustrating tactics consisting of a clever kicking game, kept them in the hunt continually turning the Cooma pack around, eventually leading to a converted try making the score 6-4 to Moruya.

As the half progressed Cooma slowly starting gaining the upper hand, with better ball control and some strong defence. With half time approaching Scott Lloyd dived over for a clever try from dummy half to put the stallions in front at half time 8- 6.

After a positive chat a half time and a couple of positional changes, Cooma came out and dominated the second half, with Dave Sommerville crashing over for four great tries, showing his great strength and skills with the ball. The strong running game of the likes of Ryan Stores, Mark Kaufline, Matt Avis and Fergus McCosker kept Cooma on the front foot for most of the second half.

The defensive efforts led by Jason Brazuliatas, Scott Lloyd and Travis Robinson had the Moruya team rattled as the second half rolled on. Moruya managed a late try against the run of play, while Cooma scored the final try right on the siren to make the final score 38-10.

A great effort by all the players, man of the match honours went to Dave

Sommerville, with his impressive order to fine tune all aspects four try haul. Debutants for the of our game and become a stallions Matt Avis and Fergus competitive force for the season.

McCosker had strong games and will only improve over the Top: Fergus McCosker coming weeks with more footy.

on the Monaro

Georgia Crisp has recently returned from Breckenridge Colorado, USA adorned with 11 medals after competing in the United States of America Snowboard and Freeski Association (USASA) Snowboarding events.

Originally Georgia was only supposed to be in Colorado for three weeks to train but she ended up staying for three months after qualifying through the Rocky Mountain Snowboard Series and then being invited to compete in the USASA national’s competitions.

In the last three months Georgia has been training and competing in Slopestyle, Halfpipe, Giant Slalom, Slalom and BoarderCross with some of the best young snowboarders in the world.

She has definitely proved that she can contend with the best of them, returning with seven gold medals, two silver and two bronze despite being the youngest on the team.

Georgia is definitely a talent to watch out for as at the end of the USASA nationals competition she came out in fifth place overall in the USA, a solid effort for a 13 year old who had spent time in hospital with a suspected broken pelvis just three days before the main event.

But all of this didn’t come about without a lot of hard work.

Georgia spends a lot of time training in the gym and she has suffered her fair share of injuries including sprained ankles, a broken nose and a suspected broken pelvis whilst in the USA. Georgia has been skiing and snowboarding since she can remember, starting when she was three. Originally Georgia was a skier but turned to snowboarding when she was nine.

She has been involved in a winter sports club at Perisher on weekends and snowboards every Wednesday in winter with her school, Snowy Mountains Grammar.

Georgia takes to the slopes whenever she can and has recently been chasing winter around the world, from the Snowy Mountains and to Victoria to New Zealand to Colorado.

She has also competed in a number of esteemed competitions around the world and in Australia including the World Rookie fest Tour, The Burton Australian Snowboard series and last year she competed in the New Zealand Nationals.

It’s obvious that Georgia is in love with snowboarding and is definitely aiming to pursue snowboarding as a career.

“I like travelling to different places and meeting new people, I have now made lots of friends for life in particular those I stayed with in Colorado. I just like everything about it,” Georgia said.

Georgia also has earned herself a snowboarding scholarships with Skiing and Snowboarding Australia Future Olympian program as well as a South East Region Academy of Sport (SERAS) scholarship.

But now Georgia can look forward to what’s ahead hopefully with plenty more gold medals, travelling, and the next Winter Youth Olympics in 2016 ahead of her.
