Cooma-Monaro Shire mayor Dean Lynch joins with Ale-Alija Basic and Ambassador of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Damir Arnaut to celebrate the raising of the new flag.

Right: Ale-Alija Basic in his former SMA helmet.

A large crowd from all over Australia gathered at Coomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Centennial Park on Sunday June 23, to witness the inauguration of Bosnia and Herzegovina into the avenue of flags.

The man responsible for the fundraising efforts is Cooma local, Ale-Alija Basic, a Bosnian man who came to Australia to work on the Snowy Scheme. Mr Basic worked on Talbingo Dam in 1967 and was a part of the Snowy Scheme for five years.

Mr Basic felt that Bosnia and Herzegovina should be acknowledged in Coomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Avenue of Flags. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I walked past the park everyday and I always felt like something was missing,â&#x20AC;? he

explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I contacted the Bosnian Herzegovinian Ambassador last September and he helped to make this possible.â&#x20AC;? $3120 was raised to place the flag in the park and it was all thanks to Bosnian Australians.

Ambassador of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Damir Arnaut attended the flag raising ceremony and said that he was very proud to support a man like Mr Basic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not only a legitimate project but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also worthwhile and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so glad to see it through,â&#x20AC;? said Ambassador Arnaut.

Petition to improve reception ^^^ TVUHYVWVZ[ JVT H\

LOCALLY OWNED & OPERATED NEWCOMER OF THE YEAR NSW & ACT 2012 OPEN 7 DAYS. 8AM TO 9PM

COOMA

Snowstop Village 30-42 Sharp Street, Cooma NSW 2630

P: (02) 6452 7767

Cooma resident Brian Curzon is fed up with not being able to listen to ABC radio, due to poor reception in his home four kilometres from Cooma Post Office.

Despite numerous attempts, he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the answer he wants.

He has now started a petition to bring the issue to a head. Together with Leading Edge Electronics and Cooma Betta Home Living, Mr Curzon is calling for other local residents who have issues with the ABC reception to sign the petition. It will be presented to the Member for Eden-Monaro, Mike Kelly, who has already been contacted by Mr Curzon and other residents.

The problem of poor ABC Radio reception arose during the January Yarrabin bushfire emergency.

Many people in the Numeralla and Kybeyan regions reported that had not heard bushfire warnings because they could not pick up the ABC. These people also had no mobile phone reception.

These issues were raised at community meetings during the emergency.

But Mr Curzonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems with poor reception are ongoing.

At first he thought is was the radio he had and replaced it, but there was no improvement.

He has spoken with local retailers who also report people bringing back radios that cannot pick up the ABC. He believes the problem could be solved with a higher powered transmitter at Polo Flat, which, he believes, would be a minimal cost.

Mr Curzon is not the only person to have had a problem with the ABC reception.

Numeralla resident Lloyd Smith complained about poor reception back in January â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he was told by the (now former) Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Conroyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office that the system was working to capacity.

In recent correspondence to the Member for Eden-Monaro, Mike Kelly, Mr Smith has again raised the issue of poor reception.

A response from Senator Conroy to Dr Kelly states: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Please note that Mr Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence is located outside of the predicted coverage of the Cooma and Bega ABC Local radio services transmitted on 1602Am and 810 FM respectively.

SNOWLINER TRAVEL 7KH :D\ 7R *R

UPCOMING TOURS ALAN JACKSON

EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST BEING TAKEN

I understand that the ABC has no plans to increase the coverage of these services and I note that Ms Smith can receive alternative ABC FM services. To improve local reception of AM services, Mr Smith may wish to consider investigating a range of options including installing a mains power filter or connecting his radio to an external antenna.

Mr Curzonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial contact with the ABC drew the following response: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you for your email, which has been forwarded to me for response. I can advise you that the 1602AM Cooma transmitter is only intended to cover Cooma itself. If you are travelling more broadly in the region then you may receive better reception for South East Local Radio on 810AM, which covers the area from the coast at Bermagui as far west as Jindabyne and down to the border. You should be able to pick up this service in Berridale, however if you would like more information about the transmission and reception of ABC TV or Radio services I would encourage you to call the ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Reception Advice Line on 1300 13 9994.

Yours sincerely, Kevin McAlinden ABC Audience and Consumer Affairsâ&#x20AC;?

Les Sutcliffe of Leading Edge Electronics in Cooma, has supported Mr Curzonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requests for better reception, directed to ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corporate Affairs.

Mr Sutcliffe said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I own the local Leading Edge Electronics business here in Cooma and have been selling radios to people across the Monaro for eight years. I have also been part of the electronics industry for almost 40 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both I and the owners of the local Betta Home Living have experienced issues with our customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ABC reception the entire time we have worked and lived in the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reception in this region is totally inadequate.

It is not a localised issue, almost every customer outside of about a 3-4 Km radius of Cooma has poor or no ABC reception. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I myself have a clear view of the transmitter and live 3 KM from Cooma â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the reception is always poor and at times useless. I have to resort to getting my news and weather from the local commercial station. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I fully understand the ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funding issues the technical issue that the ACMA will need to address to fix this problem. But to tell us - and our local member that the reception is adequate and that Mr Curzon has a â&#x20AC;&#x153;localised issueâ&#x20AC;? is misleading and does not match any of the facts that I have experienced over the past eight yearsâ&#x20AC;?.

FAREWELL TO ENGINEER DAVID BYRNE

New ways for ambos to save lives Cooma paramedics can now provide high quality cardiac health care to patients thanks to the roll-out of a new world class level of health care for cardiac patients.

The procedure is called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pre-Hospital Thrombolysisâ&#x20AC;? or PHT and it is traditionally only provided in hospitals but now can be provided on the spot by paramedics. The treatment is aimed at patients suffering from heart attack symptoms, including chest pain.

The National Heart Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guidelines promote Ambulance as pivotal to improving patient outcomes in acute cardiac events.

The new procedure has proven to be highly successful on the Monaro since its commencement in January with seven patients already saved using the thrombolytic drugs.

Under the program, paramedics are enabled to deliver life-saving medications (thrombolysis â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or â&#x20AC;&#x153;clotbustingâ&#x20AC;?) to the patient in the pre-hospital phase, as soon as possible after symptom onset. No time is lost before accessing definitive care and patients, once thrombolysed, are delivered to a hospital which can best manage the ongoing care of their heart attack.

As part of the Statewide Cardiac Reperfusion Strategy, PHT is now being provided on the Monaro with most ambulance vehicles equipped to deliver this care after a trial period in the Hunter region, which proved very successful.

Cooma Station Manager Paul Beaver says his team of

Paramedic Mick Kuvee and Station Manager Paul Beaver with the new LifePak15 monitors.

After 19 years of dedicated services to the Cooma-Monaro Shire Council, Director of Engineering Services, Mr David Byrne, has decided to take down his professional shingle and retire from the job at the end of July 2013.

David's position covered a wide range of infrastructure asset management and service provision to the community ranging from roads, footpaths, culverts and bridges to water, waste water, saleyards, plant and property, parks and gardens, playgrounds, sportsgrounds and other recreational youth facilities and emergency services.

David, in each of his engineering roles, and with his staff, brought value and best practice performance management in the services Council provided to the community. To this end, David has been recognised by his peer group and Council as having delivered a high level professional service within the limited financial resources available to Council.

Council has been very fortunate to have such wide managerial experience and technical engineering knowledge in David, and his replacement will take some doing. He leaves behind an infrastructure in Cooma which is the envy of a lot of larger Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engineering portfolios with much larger available resources.

He is looking forward to many more hours on the ski slopes pursuing his passion for snow skiing with his wife, renovating their recently acquired coastal retreat and looks forward to spending more time with family and friends. They plan in staying in Cooma and continue their involvement in community work. David is a member of Cooma Rotary Club.

Senior management, staff and Council wish David well in his future endeavours.

Reunion organisers thanked the

They say a week is a long time in politics – last week probably proves the point.

With former PM Julia Gillard now shown the door by her Labor comrades and the former, former PM, Kevin Rudd ushered in like a new Messiah, one can only ponder what our international neighbours think of us.

The mute button on the telly is still going to get a workout with the leadership change.

And while the new (or is it old?) PM has been handing out titles to his fans, one waits, not a little impatiently, to learn when the Federal election will be held.

No doubt Mr Rudd will be setting the date to fit in with his political ambitions, which is not necessarily the same as for the good of the country.

With so many departures last week, or pending the election, it’s hard to see how the good ship Australia will be able to steer a steady course.

Meanwhile, federal legislation now has small businesses in Australian facing a reported $2billion bill, with increases to superannuation, and its maximum age limit, the minimum wage and continuing cost of living increases.

The small business sector is the largest employer in Australia, employing about 86 percent of the workforce.

If small businesses fail, especially those in rural areas, the knock-on effect will be pretty drastic.

It’s why small businesses are forced to increase their prices.

Let’s hope our politicians take that into account while they are sitting back, earning points towards their pension scheme.

Small business - too big to ignore!

Editor, I have just returned having attended the Cooma Rugby Union Club’s 50th Anniversary celebration.

It was a wonderful weekend of rugby and fellowship with around 400 ex players, present players and partners attending the Saturday night function at the Show Ground.

Over the years a band of supporters

have worked tirelessly for the club and they are to be congratulated for their efforts shown in the strength of the club today. May I thank Peter and Marg Quodling, Gordon Litchfield and Graham and Wendy Litchfield for organising such a great event.

Peter Mason Ebor.

What is it with warning signs and speed cameras? In New South Wales, unlike some other states in Australia, wherever there is a speed camera ahead you will inevitably hit a string of signs warning you that it’s up ahead (at least that’s what I’m finding in rural areas) and waiting for you which leads to my next question; why have speed cameras in place at all if you are going to warn drivers beforehand via a string of signs? I mean, think about it. What are drivers going to do when they see signs warning them that a speed camera is up ahead? Well, they’re going to slow down from the 120 or 150kph that they are whizzing along at to a more sedate 100kph so that they are doing the speed limit when they pass the camera, that’s what, and then as far as the camera and the authorities are concerned the drivers are not speed offenders. Pity there isn’t a hidden one further along because if there was it would catch those drivers putting pedal to the metal once they were out of camera range. The thing is this, out on the highways many drivers opt to break the legal speed limits because for some reason they either a) see said highway as a long, long drag strip or b) figure the legal speed limit is not fast enough or c) decide the speed rules just don’t apply to them. They

completely ignore things like double lines and drivers coming the other way as they weave their way at high speed through other cars travelling at the legal limit because of some selfish belief that they are entitled to do so and this is where sign posted speed trap cameras fail completely.

The speed demon sees the signs, slows down to a more acceptable speed as they pass the camera and then hit the gas as soon as they are passed the trap. So, how do these work again in getting drivers to keep to the speed limit for their entire journey? I’m pretty sure they don’t. At least not in New South Wales because we get the heads up via signage before we hit them!

It could be another story though in states that make no mention of where the cameras are, so it can be guaranteed they catch a lot of speed fiends, even if they suss out where the cameras are, because they’re bound to miss at least one and just one is all it takes to catch the leadfooters. Seriously, the authorities need to take the signs away.

Sensible drivers who acknowledge and comply with speed limits wont complain, but those who do will probably be the worst offenders when it comes to speeding and will complain loudly about it being terribly unfair when they get caught doing the wrong thing. Well, ain’t that just too bad!

Mike Kelly MP

Each year Cooma Rotary Club plays host to an international youth exchange student and each year the student is welcomed and accepted into our community. For the past 11 months 17-year-old, German exchange student Lea Nickels has been a part of the Cooma community and has learnt a lot about Australian culture as well as made a lot of friends.

At the 19 June meeting, Lea gave a presentation on her last 11 months as a guest of the Cooma Rotary Club.

She particularly thanked her host parents, Mark and Fiona Cooper, Mark and Janine John-Natley, and David and Alison Learoyd for their hospitality.

During her visit, Lea has seen much of Australia travelling with her host family’s as well as going on an around Australia trip with other exchange students from around the country. On the trip she visited Canberra, Wagga, Melbourne, Adelaide, Alice Springs, Cairns and the Gold Coast and was able to scuba dive and snorkel at the Great Barrier Reef as well as see Uluru. Lea has also learnt much about our customs and says she was very surprised at how open hearted and friendly the people are compared to Germany.

“It’s very hard to summarise my time here, it’s been amazing, the people here have been so welcoming and I’m very grateful to Cooma Rotary and to my host families for having me,” said Miss Nickels.

Whilst Lea was here she was an ambassador for her country and was able to teach people about German culture and ideas as well as learn about Australian culture and ideas.

For over 75 years, students and host families have broadened their horizons through Rotary Youth Exchange. More than 80 countries and over 8,000 students each year participate in the program,

Exchange student Lea Nickel. which is administered at the regional level by Rotary districts and at the local level by Rotary clubs.

Over 1.2 million Rotarians in more than 32,000 clubs create the extensive network that provides support for Youth Exchange.

Rotary Youth Exchange programs allow students from all over the world to learn a new way of living, make new friends and maybe even learn a new language.

President of Cooma Rotary Club, Margaret Hassall says that “Lea has been a worthy ambassador of her country and family and has been a delight to host.”

Gets the job done for the high country

Since his election in 2007, Mike has delivered: $19.2million for education including upgrades to Cooma TAFE, the $1.47m Trade Training Centre at Bombala High and new classrooms, halls and libraries at schools throughout the Monaro.

$21million for new health facilities such as a $1.5m for the Cooma Home and Community Care (HACC) centre, the Jindabyne GP Superclinic which will begin construction in September, and $260,000 for a Bombala surgery.

More than $100m for better infrastructure including $12.9m for Dongwha Timers in Bombala, $7.2m for Council Roads and upgrades to sporting facilities, pools and playgrounds across the region.

Tax Time 2013

Your 20 Financial 13 Guide

Challenges and opportunities in new financial year The new financial year brings both challenges and opportunities for the business community, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about planning according to Kathy Kelly, director Boyce Chartered Accountants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that businesses are aware of any legislative changes that came into effect on 1 July and have adjusted their systems and processes accordingly,â&#x20AC;? said Kathy.

One important change is the increase to the superannuation guarantee charge paid by employers which has risen from 9% to 9.25% with further increases to follow over the coming years.

In a win for business, under changes announced in the recent NSW Budget, the payroll tax threshold has been raised from $689,000 to $750,000 effective 1 July 2013. Around 1,300 businesses that would have paid payroll tax in 20132014 will now not be liable for the tax.

According to Kathy, many small businesses have taken advantage of the new tax rules introduced in the 2013 year that apply to the purchase of plant and motor vehicles.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the case of plant and equipment small business entities can now claim an immediate deduction for items costing less than $6,500 (GST exclusive),â&#x20AC;? explains Kathy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In regard to motor vehicles, the first $5,000 of the purchase price is deductible in the first year, and the balance over the following few years.â&#x20AC;?

These generous concessions were implemented to encourage business investment in tight economic conditions.

The popularity of self-managed superannuation funds continues as investors decide to take more control of their retirement savings. The industry though has been wary of the political rumblings about changes to superannuation.

Boyce Cooma operates a specialist self-managed superannuation division under the leadership of director Julie Schofield. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most recent changes announced by the Government will only impact those funds that are in pension phase and have significant balances,â&#x20AC;? Julie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Superannuation is still the most tax effective way for

people to save for their retirement.â&#x20AC;?

Jono Forrest, director Boyce Chartered Accountants notes that 1 July 2013 heralded the introduction of the Federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;future of financial adviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (FOFA) reforms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many financial planning firms are going through some upheaval as they have been forced to move away from commission based fee structures,â&#x20AC;? explains Jono. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boyce Financial Services, the financial planning division of Boyce, has always had a transparent â&#x20AC;&#x153;fee for serviceâ&#x20AC;? model, so clients know upfront what the annual costs will be.â&#x20AC;?

Jono says that Boyce Financial Services has been at the forefront in terms of the reforms being implemented in the industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The requirement to act inherently in the best interest of the client is a value that underpins our business.â&#x20AC;?

Boyce offers a complete range of accounting and business advisory services to help you maximise your business profit.

Tips for rental property deductions What is new this year?

The ATO has put together some tips to help investment property owners correctly claim rental property deductions this tax time.

This year we are writing to more than 110,000 rental property owners about their entitlements and obligations, to help ensure tax returns are filled in correctly.

are also immediately deductible expenses.

What can I claim over a number of years?

You can claim other expenses over a number of years, including the cost of depreciating assets, structural improvements and most borrowing costs.

Assets that are part of the property such as stoves, refrigerators, air conditioning and hot water systems can be claimed over a number of years as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;decline in valueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; deduction.

You may also be able to claim the cost of building, construction and structural improvements made by you or a previous owner as a capital works deduction, for example adding a room or constructing a retaining wall or fence.

Another example of expenses that need to be claimed over a number of years is borrowing costs such as stamp duty charged on a mortgage, loan establishment fees and title search fees charged by the lender. If these amounts are less than $100 in total they can be deducted immediately. Otherwise, they are generally deductible over five years or over the term of the loan, whichever is less.

What can I claim straight away?

Some expenses may be immediately deductible in the income year in which they are incurred. For example, you may be able to claim an immediate deduction for interest on a loan used to: - purchase a rental property - purchase land to build a rental property - purchase a depreciating asset for the property such as an air conditioner; or to finance renovations or home improvements, like a deck.

You can claim a deduction for the costs that you pay to repair and maintain your rental property. For example, replacing part of the guttering or windows What cannot be claimed? damaged in a storm; replacing part of a fence Expenses for which you are not able to claim damaged by a falling tree branch; or repairing an deductions include: electrical appliance.

- acquisition and disposal costs of the property Tenancy costs such as the preparation of a lease expenses not actually incurred by you, such as agreement, or costs associated with evicting a tenant

water or electricity charges borne by your tenants - expenses that are not related to the rental of a property, such as expenses connected to your own use of a holiday home that you rent out for part of the year - borrowing expenses or interest on the portion of the loan you use for private purposes like buying a new car.

What if I sold a rental property?

You may have a capital gain or loss that you will need to include in your tax return if you sold a rental property in the 2012-13 financial year, unless you acquired it before 20 September 1985.

You can also make a capital gain or loss from some capital improvements made since 20 September 1985 to a property you acquired before that date.

To work out whether you have a capital gain visit www.ato.gov.au/cgt for more information.

Need help?

The ATO website ato.gov.au/rental and the Property page have information outlining what you can and cannot claim for your rental property. If you are unclear or have further questions, talk to someone at the ATO about tax deductions for rental properties on 13 28 61.

Shadow Minister for Tourism and Regional Development Bab Baldwin with Chair of ARTN, David Sheldon and Opposition leader, Tony Abbott.

Shadow Minister for Tourism Bob Baldwin acknowledged the role of the Australian Regional Tourism Network (ARTN) and the value of tourism to regional communities and local economies at tourism function at Parliament House, Canberra, last week.

Chair of ARTN, David Sheldon, said â&#x20AC;&#x153;this was a great opportunity to raise the profile of regional tourism an our members at the national level and that now I the time for the industry to come together as one.

Mr Sheldon has been actively meeting with industry leaders and both sides of parliament on his trip to Canberra.

The ARTN, as a member of the National Tourism Alliance, supports the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tax tourismâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; campaign and will work with the national body to set policy, especially as it relates to regions and ARTB members.

Tourism continues to be a major economic drivers for regions, with 46 cents in every dollar of tourism expenditure being spent in regional Australia.

The tourism and hospitality industry employ more than 1,074 millions Australians with tourism related employment in regional areas generating more than 220,000 jobs in 2011.

Council infrastructure funding Councils in the Monaro will soon be able to apply for the remaining $31.5 million in Local Infrastructure Renewal Scheme loan subsidies to help tackle their infrastructure backlogs, the Member for Monaro John Barilaro said.

The NSW Government is currently providing a total of $100 million over six years with the aim of unlocking up to $1 billion in infrastructure investment.

The allocation will allow for the implementation of the overall local infrastructure backlog policy, of which the Local Infrastructure Renewal Scheme is one component.

Mr Barilaro said there was still $31.5 million to disburse for vital infrastructure projects that were allowed to languish under Labor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the first round of the scheme, the NSW Government provided interest subsidies worth over $64 million over 10 years to 64 councils for 81 projects throughout the State,â&#x20AC;? Mr Barilaro said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Councils are urged to balance their infrastructure needs against their financial circumstances and consider applying.â&#x20AC;?

The Local Infrastructure Renewal Scheme was first introduced in 2011/12. Round one of the scheme provided a 4 per cent interest subsidy to assist those councils with legitimate infrastructure backlogs to help meet the cost of borrowing.

Round two will provide a three per cent interest subsidy on loans taken out for infrastructure backlog works as well as for projects providing infrastructure to enable new housing.

These subsidies seek to provide an incentive to councils to make greater use of debt funding to address those backlogs and are intended to augment other funding options available to councils.

Applications for the third round of the Local Infrastructure Renewal Scheme (LIRS) will be called for in August.

A powerful dual time-frame novel about forbidden love.

In the present, a British hostage is released from ten years in solitary confinement in a hole in the ground in Afghanistan, only to find that his wife is dead and that his feelings for his suddenly grown-up daughter are disturbingly confused.

In the past, after two male lovers are arrested in 1939 in a hotel room overlooking Piccadilly Circus, an English soldier must fight his way across war-torn Europe to save his lover from the death camps. With all the elegant prose, cracking suspense and food-for-thought themes of the Costa-shortlisted The Blasphemer, Nigel Farndale's second novel again delivers on all fronts.

One scheme.

One focus on individuals.

One commitment to lifelong support.

From 1 July, Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current support system for people living with disability is being progressively replaced with DisabilityCare Australia. This new scheme will help provide a better quality of life for Australians with a signiďŹ cant and permanent disability, and for their families and carers too.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new about DisabilityCare Australia?

DisabilityCare Australia is a new way of funding personalised support for people with disability. As well as looking at a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immediate needs, it will take a lifelong approach and enable people with disability to have choice and control over their supports. It will focus on early intervention, recognising that timely support can minimise the impact of a disability on individuals, families and carers. Assistance will be provided at the right time, rather than only once people reach crisis.

Who is eligible?

DisabilityCare Australia will help people who have a signiďŹ cant and permanent disability and who need assistance with everyday activities. This includes people whose disabilities are attributed to intellectual, cognitive, neurological, sensory, or physical impairment, or a psychiatric condition.

Will I lose my current support?

No. Your current arrangements will stay in place until you have met DisabilityCare Australia to discuss your needs.

Will it affect my Disability Support Pension?

No. Your Disability Support Pension will not be affected.

When does it all begin?

DisabilityCare Australia is being rolled out in stages because it is a big change to the current system.

Locations that start from July 2013 Barwon region of Victoria ......................People aged 0-64 Hunter region of NSW .............................People aged 0-64 South Australia .......................................Children aged 0-14 Tasmania .....................................Young people aged 15-24 Locations that start from July 2014 ACT ................................................................People aged 0-64 Barkly region of NT ...................................People aged 0-64 From July 2016, DisabilityCare Australia will continue to extend to more locations and age groups around Australia, including Queensland.

Wild dogs will eliminate sheep industry Without a substantial and co-ordinated effort, wild dogs may eliminate the sheep industry from entire pastoral zone of Australia within 30-40 years.

The extent of the wild dog expansion across Australia is outlined in a new scientific review by Ben Allen and Peter West from the Invasive Animals CRC published in this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Australian Veterinary Journal.

The report concludes that without co-ordinated control, wild dogs will eliminate sheep across the vast pastoral areas of Australia. Read the report here (pdf 653Kb).

From various sources of data it is clear that wild dogs are increasingly becoming distributed across almost all rangeland sheep production areas in Australia.

Although small numbers of wild dogs have probably been there all the time, records show that their distribution, number of sightings and damage to livestock enterprises are increasing. That change corresponds with the decline in sheep numbers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While wild dogs are not the sole cause for the contraction of the sheep industry, they are one of the major causes,â&#x20AC;? Dr Allen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Consequently, without substantial effort put into integrated wild dog control programs, then, at the rate the industry is presently

contracting, the rangeland sheep grazing industry will likely disappear within 30 to 40 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fortunately, the National Wild Dog Facilitator initiative by the Invasive Animals CRC, with funding support from Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) and Meat and Livestock Australia, and other wild dog officers with state agencies are steps forward in assisting land managers to develop and maintain cooperative programs to manage wild dogs across Australia,â&#x20AC;? Dr Allen said.

Head of on-farm research and development at AWI, Dr Jane Littlejohn said wild dogs are the single biggest factor holding back wool production in Australia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The latest research has shown how large and widespread the wild dog problem is in Australia.

The pastoral zone of Australia has been home to some of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest sheep flocks but is in serious danger from wild dog attacks.

Almost every alpine region also faces a similar problem and this is why AWI has committed significant resources to help communities protect their flocks.â&#x20AC;?

According to Peter Fleming from the Vertebrate Pest Research Unit of Biosecurity NSW, there are examples of successful cooperative wild dog management

programs such as in eastern NSW and northern S.A. In the Queensland rangelands, the Paroo Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wild dog management plan is a model that is being applied across shire boundaries and into the Western Division of NSW. Applications are still being sought for the next wild dog control project from Australian Wool Innovation (AWI).

Stage One achieved control methods across 1.3 million square kilometres of country in every mainland state of Australia through almost 50 wild dog control groups.

The survey results of 259 participants revealed how: â&#x20AC;˘ 41 percent intend to reintroduce sheep. â&#x20AC;˘ 71 percent noticed an increase in native animals. â&#x20AC;˘ 68 percent intend to increase sheep numbers. â&#x20AC;˘ 94 percent reported better wellbeing as a result of participating.

To apply, groups should download and complete the application form from www.wool.com/pestanimals and submit with a project budget and map to wilddogs@wool. com

The market had a touch of the BLUES this week and continued on from the soft closing of last week. Superfine wool in Sydney initially resisted the first day falls which were confined to the fine and medium types. Fortunes reversed on the final day with the superfine types experiencing a 30 cent decline while the balance of the market remained unchanged. Merino Cardings continued their run up into near record territory.

33,007 bales were sold in the final sale of the season with 13.1% passed in.

Techwool, PJ Morris & Fox and Lillie filled the major buyers list. Total bales offered for the season have risen by 2% compared to last season with the market closing just above its average over the last twelve months.

The high point of the season was early February and the low in early September with 214 cents separating the two. ABARE has revised down its forecast average for the EMI in the 2013/14 season to 1080 cents.

Even with this downward revision the forecast is 5% higher than this seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s average. Two selling weeks remain before a three week recess and on face value an unchanged

Bushpigs flog Bungendore - again!

Last week the Lake Jindabyne Hotel Bushpigs travelled to Bungendore to face the Mudchooks in the round nine game of the Monaro Division.

Conditions werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t friendly with the pitch damp under foot and a few mud patches spread across the Bungendore Oval.

In a rife game of wet weather rugby the Jindabyne Bushpigs were the clear and eventual winners with a final score of 417.

This also concludes the second of the three round competition with the Bushpigs still holding onto to their number one spot on the ladder and aswell reiging undefeated.

It was evident from the kick off that both teams were going to play for teritory with a few kicks going back and forth from both teams. With a sneaky blindside play the Bushpigs opened up the scoring with great pass and draw skills from Mickeal Bottom (Taylor Friend) and Ado Butters (CBD) which saw fullback Craig Dixon (Snowy Constructions) cruise towards the posts for a easy 7 pointer.

Blindside flanker Rob Morris (Serges Cafe) left the field with a shoulder injury bringing on the young substitue Sam Maidjobsy (Marshall Batteries) who showed a lot of discipline at the breakdown which led to some good runs gaining valuable

field position. Two more tries were scored in the first half, after having what seemed like endless attempts at the line from four possibly five 5 metre scrums, big Number 8 Micheal Needham (Lake Crackenback Resort) finally got the ball down over the line. Liam Pepper (Snowy Constructions) once again found himself in the right place, right time to run in an easy try for a good set piece play construsted from playmaker and captain Jake Roarty (G Z Engineering).

The second half began under different circumstances and the Jindabyne lads showed great compusure under pressure to defend their line and not give away penalties at the breakdown. The Mudchooks rallyed to apply early pressure, but it was soon depleted as the Bushpigs dug in deep to work their way out of their own half and maintain possesion of the ball.

The entire forward pack especially the front three of Steven Rompannen (Vanity Hair), Jeremy Witherdin (Alpiinet) and Issac Maw (Sponsors Chalet) absolutely destroyed the Mudchooks scrum. Again the Bushpigs had some troubles at lineout time but quickly regathered possesion from their commanding scrum. Tries in the second half went to Cody Norling (Mynk), Micheal

Needham and Liam Pepper.

Both players bagging a double in the try coloumn. Taku Taiaroa (Mountain Munchies) scored the final try by swooping on a loose ball right on the Mudchooks goal line, made possible from a dominating and devistating tackle from scrum half Andrew McDonald (Alpine Gables) on his opposite scrum half. Michael Needham was unseccsuful with the conversion.

Captain and Flyhalf Jake Roarty said that he was again â&#x20AC;&#x153;most impressed with the way all the lads showed determination and discpline. The penalty count has improved tremoundous from past weeksâ&#x20AC;?. He is also â&#x20AC;&#x153;really looking forward to go into battle against Crookwell with all the boys, every member of the team is really stepping up to the markâ&#x20AC;?

Players Player went to Michael Needham, 3pts to Michael Bottom, 2pts to Issac Maw and 1pt to Andrew McDonald.

Next week the boys travel to Crookwell to play the Crookwell Dogs.

This wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be an easy encounter as the Dogs are hard to beat at home.

The senior men wish to thank all the sponsors and supporters and look forward to entertaing a home crowd against Boorowa at John Connors Oval on July 20.

With recent rain on the golf course the winter run that has been helping golfers is now a thing of the past however scores are still very good and golfers are really enjoying the greens over the last week.

Sean Smith (getting ready for the ho lidays) took out B grade with 40 points from Prawit Prakotasung with 38 points and in C grade John Langton had 37 points and just won by one point from Nick Massari with 36 points. Ball winners went down to Wayne Ryan with 35 points.

Nearest the pin prizes were taken out by the very accurate Tony Monday on the 17th, brilliant golfer Adam Robinson on the ninth (Adam needs a birdie on the ninth to gain 2 points off plus 3) and Bart Joseph on the 18th (second shot).

On Sunday golfers played an individual stableford with Lindsay Blewitt taking out the event with 38 points from Prawit Prakotasung with 36 points.

If any member can help with the barbecue please see Campbell Childs who is organising the roster.

See you on the greens.

Cooma Rifle Club Last Saturday morning was a bit foggy but cleared but the cloud cover made the light dull.

It was raining until just before 10am then it stopped to allow us to shoot and recommenced just after we finished. Seven members attended but only three completed the full course.

The event was the monthly heat of the Club Championship and Gregory Shield competitions from 500 yards.

The results were Frank Toth 92.3, Brent Cain 86.2 and Richard Lapham 83.3 with handicaps Frank won narrowly ahead of Richard and Brent.

The Club can now cater for a variety of shooting methods – the traditional prone with iron sights, prone with scope sights either hand held or with a tripod, and bench rest with any type of sights.

We also have a 50m small bore range intended for Brathlon practice but available on Saturday mornings when the big bore shooters are at 500 yards, otherwise any time by arrangement with the Rifle Club.

Next week shooting with be from 300 yards for the July heat of the NRA medal competition.

Red Devils battle hard against ADFA The Cooma Red Devils played at home again this week against the Army boys from the Australian Defence Force Academy, reserve grade took to the field ready to build on their success of beating ladder leaders Goulburn last week.

Cooma started well and from receiving the kick off worked the ball down field with the forwards making good metres early.

After receiving an early penalty and on the back of field position Cooma was able to start to apply pressure to the ADFA line.

With the Schouten boys looking dangerous out wide, Cooma attacked the open side and then with quick ball were able to switch the direction of play and with good ball movement Adam Schofield was able to link up with Mat Crowley and put him over untouched.

Nathan Boate missed the conversion but Cooma had an early lead.

Mistakes then started to creep into the Cooma game and ADFA were able to capitalise on these mistakes and apply a huge amount of attacking pressure to the Cooma line.

Cooma’s defence held tight with good defence from Luke Van Der Platt, Mat Jamieson, Cody Henderson and Kade Graf.

This strong defence made ADFA opt to take the points his penalty goal reduced Cooma’s lead to 5-3 and was still the score at half time.

Cooma came out in the second half ready to improve on their first half performance but again was on the back foot and had to defend for most the half.

Good defence from Curtis Watkins, Tommy Maxwell and Chris Robinson was keeping Cooma in the game. Not being able to crack Cooma’s defence, ADFA again opted to take the points and with that took the lead 6-5.

With a one-sided penalty count against, Cooma just couldn’t get the bounce of the ball and with five minutes to go Cooma decided it was time to chance their arm and spread the ball wide from deep inside their own half, allowing Ben Kelly to link up with Boo Ewart on the outside who was able to get around his opposite number, kick ahead then chase the kick and cause an ADFA infringement.

This led to a Cooma penalty 22 metre out from the ADFA line.

With two minutes to go Cooma opted to kick for goal, Nathan Boate kicked the penalty to take the lead 8-6 and with a minute to go Cooma held on for a hard fought win.

Points in second grade 1 point was shared between Nathan Boate and Luke Van Der Platt, 2 points Kade Graf, 3 points Ben Schouten and player’s player was Cade Graf.

First grade First grade took to the already wet and boggy field under a heavy sky that was looking more and more threatening ready to take it to ladder leaders ADFA. Both sides were ready to play from the kick off but playing with contrasting styles, ADFA looking to spread the ball wide and quickly whereas Cooma was looking to keep the ball in tight and use the forwards to truck the ball forward.

ADFA were first to trouble the scorer when they crossed out wide to take a five nil lead.

Cooma was able to hit back after all the forwards were able to roll the ball down field and get ADFA on the back foot then with quick ball the backs were able to spread it wide and score with Alex Moon on the end of some good quick hands.

Ryan Morgan was unable to convert but the scores were locked at 5 all for the next 20 minutes with both sides defending well, Cooma’s defence being led well

by Leighton Bates, Pat Egan, James Strange and Tim Cassanova.

With 15 minutes to go in the half ADFA were able to score two quick tries after they had kicked a penalty to go into half time leading 22-5.

Cooma came out in the second half and took control of the game with everyone putting in 100 percent with the rain now falling and Cooma with momentum soon were troubling ADFA’s defence with Jimmy Nicholls, Andrew Rolfe and Tom Maxwell taking the forwards forward.

Will Nichols was controlling the back line with Damien Hopkins making good metres through the middle of the field.

Cooma was able to score when Ryan Morgan went in and helped out the forwards and was able to dive over out wide. He converted his try and Cooma was back in the game trailing 22-12.

Cooma was soon able to score again this time Tommy Maxwell was able to get the ball across the stripe. Morgan again converted to narrow the margin to 22-19.

Cooma forwards again went on the attack and with the help of the wingers Matty Lee and Alex Moon Cooma again worked the ball back down into ADFA’s half and relentlessly attacked ADFA’s line but a simple mistake and a couple of dubious refereeing decisions stopped Cooma from being able to convert this field position into the winning points and ADFA held on to win 22-19.

Points in first grade 1 point Matt Lee, 2 points Leighton Bates, 3 points and player’s player Kingsley Vance.

Some big wins to Cooma Colts Snowy River Painting U8 No report Monaro Panel Beaters U9 The Monaro Panel Beaters U9 Colts put on another superb display, despite narrowly going down 16-14 to Tuggeranong Knights.

The team has a habit of starting slowly, giving the opposition an early try or two for Cooma to chase down. Michael Day improves each week and he was tremendous, unstoppable with the ball and barging over for a great try to everyone’s delight.

Jake Maddrell also brought a cheer from the crowd with not one but two catches from the kickoff on the full. Jonah Perea’s defence was also outstanding, putting his body on the line again this week and also kicking a goal.

James Bannon and Kristian Zusak ran the left and right well like they do every week, with James bagging two tries. Flynn Palmer and Marcus Riley had limited chances but are always keen to get involved, particularly in defence.

Brock Freeburn and Lachlan Hemphill held the middle strong all game with great defence and strong running. Alex Aitkenhead kept up his long, energetic runs like he does each week. Cody Clarke also had limited chances, but played well at dummy half. Kayla Fleming came on for the second half and again was very strong, running hard with the ball and helping out in defence.

Barrett Bannon again was outstanding at dummy half with his passing and running game. Overall a gutsy effort. Player of the Week was Michael Day. McDonalds Awards went to Kristian Zusak and Marcus Riley.

SportsPower U10 The SportsPower U10’s Colts travelled to Gordon ACT to play South Tuggeranong Red. Unfortunately they were short one player but they stood up and were counted as a full team.

From the kick off South Tuggas ran in a try but were unfortunate not to convert. South Tuggas ran in another couple of tries before Cooma stood their ground. Some great defence from Lachlan McGufficke, Jayden Williams, James Dyball, Jesse Eljuga, Hudson Laird, Clinton Filtness and Arthur Bottom helped to bring Tuggas to a halt.

Then the Colts showed some fancy footwork and some strong running with Josh Williams leading the defence out to the

right side then Lane Londero ran one up the middle.

Suddenly James Dyball took off with some great hit ups and Tuggas were on the back foot. Darcy Clark took a run up, played the ball to Jayden Williams who stepped through the defence and scored with Hudson Laird converting. Lachlan McGufficke blew the defence away when he scored in the corner and Clinton Filtness converted the try.

After half time, Lachlan McGufficke slipped another try in as well as Jesse Eljuga with a try on full time. Unfortunately South Tuggas managed to regather and fought back with some strong running and good defence.

The score did not reflect how the game was played. Final score was 42 – 20 to South Tuggeranong. Points awarded to Lachlan McGufficke – 3, James Dyball – 2 and Darcy Clark – 1. The weekly medals went to Jayden Williams and Jesse Eljuga.

Highland Ground Spreading U11 Highland Ground Spreading U11’s played in Bega for the Group 16 Carnival on Saturday and then backed up again on Sunday for their regular competition game. Two games were played at the carnival, the first being against a very strong and experienced PambulaMerimbula team.

The stand out for the Colts in this game was Jake Galvin who scored three sensational tries with final score 24 – 16 to Pambula – Merimbula.

The next game was against Narooma and the Colts came away with a confident win over Narooma with a final score of 12 to 6, with all three tries being scored by Nic Zusak.

The boys all played extremely well and did the Colts proud, thanks to Lachlan McGufficke for stepping up from the under 10’s to make up the numbers for the day.

Sunday saw another strong game against Gungahlin Bulls at Nicholls.

A huge tackling game for all players on the field with great runs from Alec Miners, Will Cahill, and Jason Kelly early in the game.

The Colts had control for most of the first half with two tries from Noah Saddler and Josh Sharkey converting made the half time score 10 to 6 in favour of the Colts.

Ethan Conley, Eddie Clarke and James McGufficke kept on top of the opposition with continuous tackling. The second half saw two very quick tries from Nic Zusak with great support from Noah, Will and Tyler. Final score was Colts 26 to Bulls 18.

Travis Kelly was awarded the Coach Award for his determination and getting more involved with each game. Weekly awards went to Noah Saddler, Alec Miners and Tyler Rees who all continue to have consistent games week in week out. Congratulations to the boys for the three great games they played over the weekend, they showed great sportsmanship and teamwork.

Main Street U12 No report Franks Butchery U13 Franks Butchery U13’s travelled to Kambah on Sunday to play Tuggeranong Buffaloes winning the game 34 points to 4 points.

The boys found it hard to move with the ball past their own half way line as the opposition was great in defence.

Bill Zammit with his amazing strength was able to push through half of the opposition to find the try line with Lachlan Inskip converting.

Josh Dwyer-Gersak and Jack Reid effort on the field today was again outstanding as no opposition could get past them. Bill Zammit powered through a second time to score, with Lachlan Inskip again converting.

Jarrod Jeszczenko’s pace helped him dodge through and find the try line. Lachlan Jones, Josh McConkey and Will Saddler kept up the defence and ran the ball very well. James Hill and James Cahill were both brilliant in defence and attack.

The quick thinking footsteps of Dylan Elton helped him over the line next and Lachlan Inskip converting. Damon Fanning and Tim Bottom were great in all aspects. Bill Zammit dodged through once more and Lachlan Inskip converted. Luke Day finished of the game by scoring and converting his own try leaving the score 34-4. Thank you to our great first aiders Gina McConkey and Joe Zammit and the speedy league safe Peter Gersak and Nick Dwyer-Gersak. Thanks also to our sponsors Franks Butchery.

Snowy Plains Merino Stud U14 The Snowy Plains Merino Stud U14 boys played the Gungahlin Bulls and came home with a huge win 52 - 4.

Within the first five minutes, through strong lead up work with forwards Matty Robinson, Bailey Davis and Joel Saville, Jake Hedger sprinted down the side line to score under the posts with Bailey Burke converting.

Charlie Allen and Bailey Burke gave the

team good direction for further tries to be scored by Jake Hedger and Carson Barrett making the half time score 24 nil.

The second half saw further great defence and some great runs by Declan Gregory, Jamie Rogers, Patrick Connolly and Matthew Chelin.

In defence Carson Barrett, Will shingles, Jamie Walker, Alex Swan and Joel Saville proved strong.

Great kick offs and great scrum moves saw Declan Gregory score as well as a great solo try by Jamie Rogers after running 50m from dummy half and fending off three players.

Jake Hedger was Man of the Match after scoring five tries and Bailey Burke kicked eight out nine goals and scored a try. Good captaincy by Charlie Allen directing the players around saw him score a McDonald’s award and Declan Gregory also received a McDonald’s award for great kick returns and reading the game.

Service One Members Banking U15 Last weekend we travelled to Kippax to take on the West Belconnen Warriors and continue our run into the top four.

After a hard fought win last week against Yass we needed a win this week to keep us in the hunt for the semis’.

On a very mild day we only managed to start with 12 players and we were already in school holiday mode with the warriors scorching away to an 18-0 lead after only 10 minutes.

This set the scene for the game and with several players carrying injuries into the game and more injuries during the first half, things were going to be tough.

We gave the Warriors too much ball and with some indifferent defence we were down 26 - 0 at half time. To the boys credit we battled on and never gave up and managed to score early in the second half and but with only 11 players the warriors attacked ran wide and made the most of our limited numbers.

The final score was 56 - 6 to the warriors.

With several players playing out of position the points went this week to James Russell playing in the halves 3, Toby Williams at fullback 2 and Steve Freeman and Dan Swain 1 point each.

Cooma winter netball grand finals decided

Pictured from left, Cherry Ripes, Bluebirds, Predators.

Saturday afternoon saw the end of Cooma Netball Association Winter comp, with our final grand final games being played.

At 1pm was the14’s Division finals between Cheery Ripes, who hadn’t lost a game all season, playing against the Pink Polks Dots.

What a clean game with Cherry Ripes having a decisive win but well defended by Pink Polka Dots. The Pink Polka Dots should be proud of themselves to be in a grand final against this team. Cherry Ripes winning 41 to

11.

At 2pm the Cadets division grand final was played between the Bluebirds, and the Mungbeans.

Both teams continued to go goal for goal for most of the game, both were well drilled, and the skill levels continue to develop.

During the second quarter the Bluebirds pulled ahead to take the lead, something the Mungbeans where unable to come back from. Actually the finally score didn’t

reflect the closeness of the match. Bluebirds winning 24 to 15.

Two strong Opens teams fighting it out for the grand final title, with the Predators playing against Shell. Both teams maximized their use of the court, with Predators pulling ahead slightly in the first quarter, and being able to maintain that lead despite it seeming like both teams were going goal for goal. Predators winning 44 to 32.

be at the Alpine Hotel on Saturday August 3. Tickets available at Workways, 61 Massie Street, Cooma. Or email coomanetball@ hotmail.com 2013 Night comp, continue to ask for expressions of interest from teams please email coomanetball@hotmail.com

Playing with only 13 players and no subs, the Bushpigs came out for a big game.

There was some very committed defence from the boys against a much bigger side. Vikings came to within 7 points of the Bushpigs in the last 10 minutes of the game but our boys dug deep and ran in another try, sealing the game.

Cooper Swan scored a strong forwards try in his first time over the line in union.

All the boys played well as a team and each and every one of them can be very proud of their performances and sportsmanship alike.

Wet weather means few bowlers

Coolamatong Golf Sunday was stroke round for the Monthly Medal.

Roger White was the qualifier for June with 70 nett. Runners up were Mark Lockyear and Charlie Filtness. Nearest the pin on the third was Bill Quin and on the eighth was Charlie Filtness.

Wednesday’s winner was D Rupcic ahead of Gavin Ross and Werner Siegenthaler. Nearest the pin on the third was Sid Wall and on the 15th was D Rupcic.

The cold and wet weather of the last few days has not been very encouraging for Bowlers with only 11 starters last Saturday who just managed to finish before the rain set in.

Don Jarvis played swinging lead for Bob Douglas and Maureen D’Amico against Max Povey and Olga Jebbink.

This developed into a real test of nerves as the lead changed several times and at no time was it more than two shots. With the scores locked at 14-14 on end nineteen19 to each side for the remaining ends resulted in a 15-15 draw.

The other match up was a little different with Mike Mannile, Renate Winckel and Richard Nichols getting an early 5-1 lead over Ev Hamilton, Sergio Roncelli and Keith Goodwin.

Keith and co. almost caught up on a few occasions and eventually did on end 16 at 1212.

Four shots to one in Mike, Renate and Richard’s favour over the remaining ends gave the victory 16-13.

Sunday’s weather was much kinder for Bowlers and we were pleased to welcome new members John Baldwin and wife Jo from Bombala who joined 10 others for a game.

Keith Goodwin, Renate Winckel and Colin Roberson had all the good fortune in their match against Max Povey, Mario Frezza and

Stallions 60-14 runaway win over Tathra Todd Williams looks to pass.

Jack Williams.

Left: Jake Schofield.

Far left: Sam Gilbert.

The Stallions certainly made up for the first round defeat of Tathra to inflict a 60 – 14 win on Sunday The game started well for the Stallions with a try in the first eight minutes to Sam Dowsett. As has been the case in the previous games the opposition hit back and leveled the score soon after.

This week however, things were different and the Stallions were making their mark in defence with a lot of talk and enthusiasm.

By half time the game was out of reach of Tathra with the

score 28 – 4 in favor of the Stallions. Tries in this half were scored by Sam Dowsett, Tim and Todd Williams, Tom Holmes and Steven Russell.

The atmosphere in the sheds at half time seemed a little relaxed and it showed at the beginning of the second half as all the boys’ enthusiasm and talk was missing.

Tathra scored early and this seemed to get the Stallions back on track and they eventually ran away convincing winners 60 – 14.

There were a number of good tries in the second half from

Tim and Todd Williams, Sam Gilbert, Corey Thomas and Steve Dunn.

This was a good all-round effort against a side that has performed well all year.

Best for Cooma on the day went to Tom Holmes, Zach Smith and Tim Williams.

Cooma travel to Narooma next week and hope to take their winning formula with them.

Local Stingrays acquit themselves well

35

Happy birthday Michael

Pictured, Joel and Blayne with a proud coach Matt O’ Brien.

Sideline Eye The finals of the NSW country rugby league were held at the fantastic venue of Apex Oval, Dubbo on Saturday.

Attending the day was Rugby League CEO David Smith, Geoff Carr, President of Country Rugby League Jack Colley and a host of former players.

The under 18s final featured our own Joel Smith playing lock and Blayne Thomas interchange for the Southern Stingrays against the Newcastle Rebels.

From start to finish this game was played at a frantic pace with both teams throwing everything at each other.

The Stingrays were first to crack when the Rebels scored out wide and with a great conversion led 6 nil.

But as always the Stingrays hit back with a try, then mid way through the first half a couple of simple errors cost the Stingrays a kick out on the full enabled Newcastle good field position which they took and scored, 12 – 4.

Then the unthinkable- just as the Stingrays were

on the attack an intercept was taken and Newcastle ran 90 metres to score to lead 18 - 4 five minutes before the break.

But the great trait of the Stingrays is never ever lay down and the boys hit back to score two late tries to go to halftime trailing 18 - 14.

The second half was as tough as the first with neither side taking a step backwards (apart from being smashed in tackles).

Newcastle always looked more potent in attack and this proved to be the telling point in the end with their very classy centre Camron Burns crossing for his third try and the Rebels running out winners 30 – 14.

In what has been a great ride for these boys, they can be enormously proud of their achievements starting way back last October (that was Joel’s 23rd game so far this season ) with only injury stopping Blayne for a period of time.

Well done boys you did yourself and your group proud, played outstanding football and made new friends for life.

Cooma Stallions First Grade side had a resounding win over Tathra at Cooma Showground last Sunday. Tathra forfeited reserve grade, leaving Cooma with just one match for the afternoon.

With an uncatchable lead at half time, the Stallions cruised to a 60-14 win, with strong games by the whole team. Pictured above, Matt Salvestro does some high-stepping to avoid a tackle.

Pictured left, Tom Holmes showed plenty of grit and determination.
