Obviously many people hadn’t made their minds up as to which option they favoured.

The general feeling from the meeting was that most people were not particularly concerned with which materials were used to repair the bridge but the closure of the Dalgety Bridge for any length of time was a huge concern.

Emergency services Cooma police report a number of motorcycle accidents over the past weekend.

Most were minor, but a couple of riders or their passengers required hospitalisation.

On Friday, a motorcycle collided with a motor vehicle which was making a right-hand turn at the Four Mile.

The cyclist received a knee injury and his passenger suffered a suspected broken arm. The rider was trying to avoid a collision with another vehicle at the time.

On Saturday, a motorcyclist suffered a broken wrist when his bike overturned on the Kosciuszko Road near Jindabyne. The rider was trying to avoid a collision with an animal.

On Sunday night, police were called to a 50-year-old woman in Lambie Street who received an infringement notice for being drunk and disorderly.

Thredbo Ski Museum wins Heritage Grant Thredbo Historical Society has been awarded a $5,000 federal Community Heritage Grant to fund a Significance Assessment of the Collection at the Thredbo Ski Museum.

The grant was announced in Canberra on 30 October, 2012.

This year, grants worth $428,675 have been distributed to 78 community groups and organisations from around Australia to assist in the identification and preservation of community owned but nationally significant heritage collections.

In addition, Christina Webb from the Thredbo Historical Society

attended a three-day intensive preservation and collection management workshop held at the National Library, the National Archives of Australia, the National Museum of Australia and the National Film and Sound Archive in Canberra.

Christina Webb said the grant was important in supporting the effort to preserve the Thredbo Historical Society’s collection at the grassroots level. “While the grant provides the funds, the workshop offers the expertise to help us protect our collection and make it accessible while it remains in the

local context,” she said.

Execution of the grant will begin in December when the assessor will spent two days examining the Collection housed at the Ski Museum in Thredbo Director-General of the National Library of Australia, Ms Anne-Marie Schwirtlich, said the CHG program showed the commitment by the National Library, along with its partner institutions and the Federal Government, in encouraging communities to care for the nation’s heritage, be it in small country towns or capital cities.

Movember month is growing at Woollies

General Manager, JOE VESCIO

Residents may not know that there is currently new infrastructure being installed for broadband services in our Shire. The CountryTell Community Regional Broadband program funding is being provided by the NSW Government.

CountryTell management are contracted to build and deliver services to eligible communities. It operates as a social enterprise wherein earnings contribute to expansion of the network. Communities with no access to competitive high capacity broadband services and a population of fewer than 5,000 residents are eligible.

Snowy River Shire is the first implementation under the NSW Community Regional Broadband program.

The locations are identified and the local government agency approached to partner in the project. Snowy River Shire Council are assisting with the provision of Community Broadband Service by allowing the use of Council land for the infrastructure required to deliver these services. Council obtaining services from CountryTell as the regional “cornerstone” client ensures the long-term sustainability of these new services.

CountryTell will install a wide area Wi-Max system for each regional centre in the Snowy River shire. So residents around Adaminaby, Berridale, Dalgety and Jindabyne will be able to access these services. The range will vary but a rough estimate will be that services should be available out to about 10-15km from each of these townships. CountryTell expects that this should be available to residents and visitors in early 2013.

WOW – what an amazing weekend Cooma has just enjoyed.

Apart from 2800-odd motorcyclists heading though town, there was also a town full of music on Sunday, with the national busking championships happening.

What a great atmosphere through the day, all day, with musos on every street corner, entertaining the masses.

Some showed their versatility by playing different instruments at different locations, others amused, others were just plain good.

Congratulations to Alan Spencer, the man behind the buskers, for a great idea, done very well.

Perhaps next year we could consider closing Sharp Street, at least between the roundabouts so pedestrians can wander between buskers without worrying about traffic?

Meanwhile, the Raglan Galley was once again the host of the Feast of Poetry, another event that seems to keep growing.

With so much talent in the area, maybe Cooma needs to become the Capital of Culture for the region?

Further up the hill, the annual trout festival was hooking onto another sector of the travelling public. All in all, it was a little pearler of a weekend.

Good news this week that Cooma-Monaro Shire Council will recoup money lost in a bad investment five years ago. The battle by 13 councils to recover the funds they lost in a ‘recommended’ investment was well worth it and the recovered $$$ will be gratefully received.

Council is certainly very happy with the result. A fully enclosed swimming pool on the agenda, perhaps??

This weekend, Cooma Car Club’s annual rally will be leaving the club at 8.30am on Saturday. Be there to see 80 beautiful cars head off for the coast.

Thanks to our wonderful people Editor, As President of the Cooma Friends of Vision Australia what can I say but a sincere thanks to the wonderful people in Cooma and district who continue to support the people who are blind or have low vision in our area.

The cost per client that Vision Australia provides in free services for the people in need in Cooma-Monaro is far more than our small committee can raise, but what we do raise goes

towards subsidising the work that Vision Australia does in our area.

(Anyone needing this service please call 1300 847466)

The latest figures from Head Office in Sydney show clients receiving these services over a three-year period.

I would like to thank the members of the committee who supplied the cakes, slices and biscuits for our stall at the Rotary Markets on Sunday October 21, and of course those who maned the stall. It was a good team effort. We had a successful day.

What a very special day Dear organisers and performers, Thank you for all the wonderful new first buskers day.

This event was an absolutely great experience which will help our musical performers and attract many more from away

Riposte Lisa Ashurst You know, being an avid reader and having a new book in the house by one of your favourite authors is such a bad idea when you don’t have the time to sit down and get into it. I know, because right now the latest book by Kathy Reichs is sitting unread on my coffee table and I am just too busy right now to pick it up and open it!

If I had any sense I’d pack it up with the rest of the books so it couldn’t tempt me but there it is, not packed and whispering to me every time I trundle past with another load of packing.

Thing is, if I risk having a quick read during a cuppa break it won’t be a quick read at all. Everything I’m supposed to be doing will not get done because when it’s me and a book that’s what happens. It’s why I tend to do all the things I need to do before I pick one up because absolutely nothing will get done once I have. I just love to read!

But as I mentioned, I am just way to busy right now to get into a good book and am pretty amazed at my strength of will in not opening

to participate and bring more visitors. The whole day was a very special entertainment and special experience for us all Kevin and Anne Hambly, Cooma

this one but...will it last? Maybe I’m just testing my self-control. Either that or I’m a closet masochist but whichever, that book is there, in plain sight and I am very, very conscious of the fact that between those pages is a great story and I so want to read it!!!

But as I said, I am packing up and about to move house and anyone who’s ever lived through a house move knows how flat-out exhausting and hectic it is. You barely have time to think let alone read so why am I even thinking about taking a sneak peek? Why am I trying to convince myself that I can be very strong and therefore could safely get away with reading a chapter, just one, while taking a short coffee break? Right, like who am I kidding here?!!

I really should put it in a box and be done with it and then I’m not going to get all jittery at the sight of it sitting there unread. Thing is, I have left it out because I plan to have everything organised with a couple of days to spare and what better way to unwind from all that heavy activity than with a great book! It’s a really good plan, don’t you think?

That’s assuming I don’t pick it up before I’m done packing, cleaning and organising...

Leaving it out is such a bad idea.

The sky is their classroom In 2008, Snowy Mountains Grammar School in Jindabyne, introduced an Aviation Studies program as part of their co-curricular program.

The program was deliberately kept separate from the normal academic program so as students could pursue externally examined theory courses that would count towards commercial qualifications.

Phil Ryrie, Head of Aviation Studies

at the school, noted the program had two objectives: to provide students with information on the aviation industry not readily available in the public domain so as they are more readily able to make an more informed career decision, and secondly, to provide students with a competitive advantage when applying for post school opportunities.

The program has worked for one of the original students, Rowan Haydon (sp?) who was selected from

over one hundred and fifty applicants for one of the thirteen places in the Sharp Airlines Pilot Cadetship program.

Rowan has excelled since joining the program having recently been the first of the group to gain his Commercial Pilot’s Licence.

Rowan notes that his time in the SMGS program not only nurtured his interest in aviation, but also provided him with the opportunity to study a large amount of the theory required to

“On the Trail of The Silver Brumby” is a book for those who love the Snowy Mountains. This 231-page anthology of the non-fiction writings of Elyne Mitchell AM, edited by her daughter Honor Auchinleck, with accompanying spectacular digital images by Elyne’s grandson James Auchinleck, plus pen and ink sketches by Annette MacArthur Onlsow, will delight all.

Elyne Mitchell was born in 1913, the elder daughter of General Sir Harry Chauvel. In 1935 she married Tom Mitchell, a grazier at Towong Hill near Corryong. After university at Cambridge and qualifying as a barrister, Tom was an Australian champion skier. He served in the 8th Division in Malaya and was a prisoner of war in Changi. In 1947 he was elected to the Victorian parliament as Member for Benambra, was appointed Attorney General 1950-51 and retired from politics in 1976.

A prolific writer, Elyne’s book “The Silver Brumby” published in 1958, quickly became a much-loved classic of Australian children’s literature. This anthology includes many of the writings together with the illustrations depicting the actual scenery, which provided the basis for “The Silver Brumby” series and other children’s novels by Elyne. The publisher, HarperCollins, has now reprinted four of the Silver Brumby stories in the one volume.

Now, on the centenary of Elyne Mitchell’s birth, Honor in her recently published book “Elyne Mitchell - A Daughter Remembers”, relates the story of this amazing person, her mother, who “led a life of accomplishment and privilege. But strong undercurrents of discord

and misunderstandings flowed beneath the enchanted surface” and Elyne sought to escape through her writing and skiing.

In the writing of “Elyne Mitchell - A Daughter Remembers”, Honor recalls her own unconventional upbringing in the Australian Alps and “pays tribute to her remarkable family, and in particular her adored – and elusive – mother.”

MFS traineeships available

Two, full-time, traineeship positions will again be offered in 2013 across the Monaro, initiated and driven by local farmer group, Monaro Farming Systems.

Craig Mitchell (MFS member) was the main initiator of the traineeship program in 2012 due to the growing concern of retaining and attracting young local youth to choose a career in the agricultural industry and to stay and work on the Monaro.

Statistics show the number of farmers is declining over time, falling from 246,000 in 1996–97 to 192,600 in 2010–11. Numbers of people enrolling in agricultural courses at a tertiary level are also significantly declining.

In 2010-11, the median age of farmers was 53, compared to 39 for all employed persons. Seven out of ten (71%) farmers were 45 or over compared to four out of ten (39%) employed persons.

MFS is hoping to address this issue of labour force age structure by continuing to support the MFS trainees.

Craig believes one of the strengths of MFS is seeing the diversity of ways people farm successfully and sustainably on the Monaro.

The traineeship program was set up to enable young people thinking about a career in agriculture, the opportunity to spend a year experiencing the delights of different enterprises, different systems and different ways of thinking from MFS producer members.

In 2012, the 2 successful applicants (out of 48 candidates) were Jake Goodlock (originally from Bemboka) and Daniel Rowson (originally from Berridale) who have spent the year working across 8-9 properties each in the Bombala and Cooma region.

Both Jake and Daniel praised the program and said they have learnt many new skills and techniques as a result of being on several different properties.

Daniel mentioned “staying longer on each place would help improve skills even more” and the experience Daniel has gained this year has given him the confidence to apply for agricultural positions interstate for 2013.

The boys have also nearly completed a Certificate 4 in Agriculture delivered through Cooma TAFE. The RDASI (Rural Development Association Southern Inland) donated $5000 towards the program in 2012 and RB Sellars also donated clothing to the value of $1300 to clothe the trainees.

MFS is also contributing funds towards the program and ideally hopes this initiative will become a long-term, annual program in the years to come.

Anyone interested in finding out more about this traineeship program for 2013 is asked to contact either Craig Mitchell, gaerloch@ activ8.net.au, (02) 6453 3388 or 0429 383 388 or Nancy Spoljaric – MFS Project Officer, nancy@msanda.com.au, 0438 066 322.

RECYCLING WEEK

GE

November 12-18 2012

VED L O V T IN

Recycling week 2012 is upon us and it’s time to have a look at how we are performing as a community.

THE FACTS: Over 2000 tonnes of resources were diverted from landfill during the last financial year.

Since implementing a recycling service several years ago, our community has been gradually improving with higher recycling rates recorded across the shire annually. Cooma-Monaro currently has a resource recovery rate of around 38%, which is higher than the state average. But more needs to be done if we are to achieve the 66% target set by the Office of Environment and Heritage.

WHY BOTHER WITH RECYCLING? It is important that as a community we continue to improve and minimise the amount of waste we send to landfill for a variety of reasons: 1. SAVE ENERGY It generally takes less energy to make products with recycled materials than virgin materials, often significantly less. For example, it takes 20 times more energy to make aluminium from bauxite ore than using recycled aluminium. Recycling one aluminium can saves enough energy to power a computer for 3 hours. Reducing our energy consumption will reduce pollution from burning fossil fuels.

2. SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT Making products with recycled material slows the depletion of non-renewable resources such as metal, oil and natural gas, and reduces the encroachment of new mining and drilling operations.

Conserving renewable resources through recycling also helps preserve undisturbed land and natural diversity by reducing the amount of land needed for agriculture and timber production.

3. SAVE MONEY Financially, recycling will save our community substantial amounts of money. The cost of additional landfill space is extremely high, with other councils in NSW forced into spending millions of dollars to create new landfill space. We can extend the life of our landfill by recycling, which will save our community money and help keep rates at a reasonable level.

SO DO YOUR BIT FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITY & RECYCLE!

Novel fundraiser for Cooma Public School Cooma Public School P&C along with Rotary Club, Birdsnest and Cromwell House have joined forces to raise funds for the schools Swimming Program and Sensory Education Facility.

The Cooma Public School aims to teach all children attending the school the basic swimming techniques through the school swimming program, funding was needed so that all children would have the opportunity to learn the basic swimming skills.

Funding was also needed for the Sensory Education Facilities.

Sensory Regulatory Disorder results from the brains inability to respond to various information it receives from the body’s five sensory systems – sight, sound, smell, taste, position and movement of the body.

Up to 70 percent of individuals suffer from this disorder at various stages of their life.

Although many of these children are identified as having special learning needs, many are well integrated into mainstream classrooms.

In order for them to cope with the “sensory demand” of a school day it is imperative for them to have sensory breaks every 90 minutes.

If these children could be removed from the confines of the classroom to a special sensory facility then they could obtain the sensory input they need, without disrupting the other children.

As adults we might have a cuppa or go for a walk to clear our heads if the situation gets a bit stressful, children at school haven’t had this freedom until now.

This is where the Pre-race Garden Party comes in. With the assistance of sponsors from Birdsnest, Cromwell House and Cooma Rotary, the aim is to raise money to set up three different sensory stations within the school. Also within one of the sensory stations is a specially designed gym that allows children to take a break, exercise and be ready for the next class.

Yaouk set for power network upgrade

Essential Energy crews are set to commence a power upgrade around Yaouk to strengthen the local electricity network.

The work will be carried out in the Stewartfield Road area near Bolaro and includes the replacement of more than six kilometres of high voltage copper powerline, 19 power poles and 41 crossarms.

Regional general manager South Eastern, Phillip Green, said the upgrade will ensure the power network is more resistant to the harsh alpine weather conditions.

“Essential Energy is focused on continuing to maintain and upgrade our regional electricity networks to ensure

our customers have a safe and dependable electricity supply,” Mr Green said.

“As part of this commitment, we’ll be replacing 6.3 kilometres of ageing high voltage powerline with aluminium cable which is stronger and able to carry greater capacity than traditional copper wires,” Phillip said.

Essential Energy is advising residents that some planned power supply interruptions will be necessary to allow crews to work safely on the network.

“All customers affected by the scheduled power supply interruptions will be notified in advance,” Phillip said.

“Additional crews from the Jindabyne and Bombala depots

will be on-hand to help the team from Cooma complete the project in as short a time as possible.”

Weather and ground conditions permitting, Essential Energy expects to complete the upgrade by the end of January 2013.

“We would like to thank the local community for its patience while we work to deliver a safe, reliable and sustainable electricity supply to our customers,” he said.

Gardening Notes Tomorrow Counts gives men permission to Week 1: open up about prostate cancer

November is the month when conditions become reliably warm, so it’s an important growth month in the garden.

Vegies to sow in November - Beans Green beans are summer favourites, but why not try growing something a bit different such as Yates Bountiful Butter or Borlotti beans? Pink and cream speckled Borlotti pods can be eaten fresh when young, but are more often left to reach maturity so that the seeds themselves can be harvested and dried.

Flowers to sow in November Nasturtiums are workhorse plants. They have pretty flowers, the plants make excellent ground covers, you can eat the leaves and they’re reputed to have some pest-repelling properties. For example, nasturtiums growing beneath apple trees are said to deter codling moth and woolly aphids. Sow nasturtium seeds straight into the soil but do so sooner, rather than later, before soil temperatures get too high.

Feed in November All fruit trees will benefit from a feed this month with a specific fruit tree fertiliser.

Dynamic Lifter Plus Fruit Food combines the organic goodness of composted chicken manure with extra nutrients that enhance production.

Prune in November Continue pruning spring-flowering trees and shrubs as soon as their flowering period’s over. Pinch back summer annuals (such as young petunias) to promote bushy growth. Remove developing seed pods from azaleas and rhododendrons.

Shorten long shoots on pumpkins, cucumbers, zucchinis etc. to encourage sideways growth (more likely to bear fruit). Thin excess crops on fruit trees - remaining fruit will then reach a good size.

November pest watch Dust young tomato plants with Yates Tomato & Vegetable Dust. This helps prevent fungal diseases from infecting the plants and protects them from a number of common pests.

November job file Roses in full bloom are now available in pots, making it much easier to choose the exact colour and fragrance you are after.

But don’t forget to plant out your potted roses before summer’s heat is at its worst.

Providing a voice to the thousands of Australian men touched by prostate cancer has been the driving force behind a new social media platform officially launched in Canberra.

CEO Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia, Dr Anthony Lowe, said, “The Tomorrow Counts website is set to become one of the largest social media platforms from which Australians touched by prostate cancer can share their personal experiences”.

He has invited all Australians affected by prostate cancer to “open up” and use the new medium to share their personal experience. “Men are historically bad at talking about their health, however, we have found that once given permission to tell their story, men really open up about the impact cancer has

had on their lives, their fears, dreams and concerns for those around them,” Dr Lowe added.

“Every day more than 55 Australian men hear the news they have prostate cancer. We wanted to create a medium through which those men, and those diagnosed before them, could support each other and their families and friends,” Dr Lowe said.

“It is easy to find information on prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment, however, it can be difficult to locate another person whose story or situation is similar and with whom you can relate. The Tomorrow Counts site lets people do just that,” he added.

The Tomorrow Counts website was launched alongside the Tomorrow Counts book – a collection of

ten stories of inspiration told by men who have confronted – and in some cases are still fighting – prostate cancer. The stories featured in the book appear on the website and serve as an open invitation for anyone touched by prostate cancer to share their story.

motivational mantra allows men and their loved ones to focus on the potential of tomorrow and the opportunity to enjoy life’s simple pleasures, the chance to realise dreams and the opportunity to access all advancements in treatment,” said Dr Lowe.

The Tomorrow Counts website allows men, their families and loved ones to share their experience as a written story, video clip or series of photos. The site comprises user generated content and is linked to other social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

MONARO MERINO WEEK

Monaro Merino Association: MMA President: Mark Pendergast Ph: 6453 5559 | MMA Vice President: Simon King Ph: 6453 7199 | MMA Secretary/Treasurer: Sue Clayton Ph: 6456 3735

Welcome to the 2012 Monaro Merino Association ram sale week The past year has seen some extreme prices for all commodities associated with the Merino, and although there has been an easing with both wool and meat there is still a definite trend back to the Merino with many farmers either increasing their Merino operation or moving back into Merinos.

The modern day Merino is well placed to improve the profitability of farmers and is a true dual purpose animal.

Indeed, the strength of the Merino is in its diversity.

When making your choice on rams this season be clear in your mind on what you want your sheep program to be for the next three seasons. Determine what market you are breeding for, because the decision you make now will carry the consequences for that time, the right decision will be rewarding and profitable.

Although some sheep can handle minimal management better than others, your management is the key to making the breed profitable. Remember, all breeds have their virtues its about type for you, your management and your environment.

With

seasonal

conditions

currently

favourable throughout most of the state this surely must be the time when all involved in the sheep and wool industry need to focus on making money. Profitable genetics seriously come into their own when feed abounds.

When making your breeding decisions this season I hope you will give the studs of the MMA a careful consideration I encourage local producers, visitors and anyone with a passion for Merinos to mark this week on your calendar and support your local studs of the Monaro.

Cecil Brown Scholarship winner to be announced The winner of the Cecil Brown Memorial Scholarship for 2012 will be announced prior to the Hazeldean ram sale on November 14.

The scholarship was established in 1995 in honour of Cecil Brown, a renowned Monaro sheepman who worked on the Monaro at Hazeldean.

The scholarship provides the opportunity for young Monaro people involved in agriculture to broaden their

knowledge, experience and career prospects with an educational grant or an exchange program between the South Island of New Zealand and the Monaro.

Last year’s winner, Angus Litchfield from Bombala has only just returned from his exchange to New Zealand.

Angus, 26, described his experience as ‘fantastic’ and a ‘great learning

experience’.

Angus spent his two weeks visiting many different farms, in different areas of New Zealand. He said techniques there were very different, but there were some ideas he would like to incorporate into his framing practices.

Angus said he would encourage any young farmer to nominate for the Cecil Brown Award.

“They might not get it first time, but they should keep trying. It’s a great program providing a great experience and certainly worth the time and effort in nominating.” Angus said.

People with a commitment and passion for agriculture aged between 15 and 35 can apply for the educational scholarship or 18-35 for the New Zealand exchange.

MONARO MERINO WEEK

Monaro Merino Association: President: Mark Pendergast P: 6453 5559 | Vice President: Simon King P: 6453 7199 | Secretary/Treasurer: Sue Clayton P: 6456 3735

Middleview Merino Stud

The rams this year had a tough start and a difficult summer with the worm burden very high and just too wet underfoot for sheep.

This was followed by an extremely cold wet winter, it has been hard on young sheep all round. With the on property sale last year averaging $1800 and five sale rams at Great Southern (Canberra), four Poll Merino rams in Bendigo and two Poll rams in Armidale all averaging over $4000 the last twelve months has been good for our sheep and the breeding they represent.

Two out of four drivers of profit in a Merino flock are fibre diameter and greasy fleece weight. At Middle View Merino Stud we place emphasis on breeding sheep, with wools that test well and have good greasy fleece weight, on a sound uncomplicated frame. Since the start of the stud in 1977 we have lowered our micron by 2.8microns and have lifted our wool cut by 3kg’s, this has put us into the top 20% of genetics that are the most profitable. For example the Glasson family, Jimenbuen Past Co placed third out of some 50 teams in the Peter Westblade Memorial Merino Challenge held at the Temora research station using Middle View genetics (2011 figures). This is the only true national and totally commercial trial, with every wool growing state represented.

What a fantastic result.

The other two profit drivers are body weight and fertility or above average lambing percentages. Extra body weight and frame size will demand more money from the butcher (more kilo’s = more $). The re-stocker will normally pay a bit more because bigger sheep rare more lambs and lamb a lot easier which will help him particularly if he joins them to a terminal sire. Maiton Agriculture from Mangoplah had the highest growth of all the merino teams in the latest Peter Westblade Memorial Merino Challenge with pure Middle View genetics. 15 randomly selected wethers are put into a feedlot and measured both in

actual body weight gain and then on eye muscle ect. They were then taken to Fletchers and assessed after being slaughtered. The Middle View blood team from Mangoplah were a whopping 30% above the average live body weight gain and were at the top of all merino teams entered, a great result considering a lot of the other teams promote themselves as being bigger, better doing sheep. Fertility is a profit driver simply because the more lambs you have the more you can cull to enhance your keepers and have a bigger line to sell both as culls and at 5years of age(more sheep to sell = more $). This year our total lambing was 103% on joining with the Poll Merino’s at 111% on joining.

With the wool indicator down to 1100 cents from last year’s 1360 cents, an 18 to 19 micron, self replacing merino flock is still more profitable than wheat or first cross ewes joined to a terminal and self replacing Dorper enterprises according to the latest figures that are available. Mainly due to the high cost of planting wheat and the price of lamb and mutton falling up to 60% in some cases. One of the major benefits of the merino is the low cost of production. I guess the message is to make the most of what we have, remember, wool was down to 850 cents while the Global Financial Crisis was on.

I would recommend to all merino breeders to breed sheep that suit your environment and have good greasy fleece weight combined with style and confirmation coupled with adequate body size then you won’t go to far wrong providing the bloodline you choose can prove this through some sort of benchmarking. Remember that feed conversion into wool, meat and lambs is what the Merino is about! We believe that our genetic pool here at Middle View can help you achieve this. Our gate is always open if you would like to inspect our sheep by prior appointment.

MONARO MERINO WEEK

10th - 16th NOVEMBER

Monaro Merino Association: MMA President: Mark Pendergast Ph: 6453 5559 | MMA Vice President: Simon King Ph: 6453 7199 | MMA Secretary/Treasurer: Sue Clayton Ph: 6456 3735

Adina Merino Stud Adina Merino Stud was registered in 1986 and breeding quality Merinos is both the business and the passion of long time Monaro local family Ray, Margaret and James Barron. Adina sheep have become renowned for their heavy cutting and superior wool qualities and with a less than buoyant wool market of

late, James has never been more happy that they are in the business of producing heavy cutting, bale filling Merinos.

Over the years the aim was to firstly lower and then maintain micron without sacrificing fleece weight or fertility. Adina Merino Stud rams are run on the tough Monaro, they have hardy constitutions and fine to fine-

medium wool on large frames.

In 2012, Adina Merino Stud will offer 42 one-year-old rams for auction and the principals are extremely happy with the growth, handle and wools of this years sale team, which they believe are very true to type and typify their breeding aims.

Included in this years sale team are 8 Poll Merino Rams, following the registration of the Poll Merino Stud in 2011.

This year James was invited to judge the FineMedium Merino Wool Class at the National Sheep Show & Sale in Bendigo, this was an honour he happily accepted and an experience he thoroughly enjoyed. Over the 3 days he saw a wide

cross section of Merinos from all over Australia and the eventual Supreme Exhibit came from the Fine-Medium class judged

by James. After a several year break from showing at Sydney Royal, Adina were particularly pleased with this years success, coming home with broad ribbons for Reserve Junior Champion August shorn Ram and for winning the 2-4 tooth production class – a good effort considering they only entered 3 rams .

Ray and James continue to see the benefits of the use of selective mating, using sires not

only from within the Stud but also sourcing sires from leading Australian Studs to introduce new and desirable genetics to assist in achieving long term goals.

The 2012 Sale, will be the 12th Annual stand alone sale for Adina and it will be held on Monday November 12th at the AWH Wool Store commencing at 12pm, with inspections available from 10am.

Avonside Merino Stud Avonside Merino Stud was founded in 1990 at the family property “Avonside” near Berridale.

The stud moved to its new home “Muniong” between Cooma and Adaminaby in 2010.

Our aim to produce large framed, structurally sound sheep, capable of consistently producing heavy fleeces of fine-medium wool remains unchanged.

Over the years we have reduced adult fibre diameter to 18.5-20 micron whilst still making gains

in both wool cuts and bodyweights.

Emphasis has been placed on wool quality, which must be stylish, well nourished, long stapled with superior handle and measurements.

We believe that this blend of fine-medium wool, combined with high body and fleece weights is consistently the most profitable.

Avonside has been able to achieve these aims by accessing some of the industry’s best genetics through AI. Leading sires from both Roseville Park and Wurrook have

been used with great success. Recent ram purchases include a $7,500 Tara Park ram in 2009 and a $5,000 sire at the 2011 Roseville Park On Property Ram Sale. Our latest AI program was in 2011 to Roseville Park 1864 and several of his sons will be available in this years’ sale.

Hazeldean teams made on average $9.06 per head more than the other teams for total wool & meat value, $6.31 net $ per head (DSE) more than the other teams, and $75.65 net return profit/hectare more than the other teams.

“It is very satisfying to see clients sheep performing at the top in trials and know they are at the top of their game and making serious money with Hazeldean sheep.”

As usual. the Hazeldean sale rams will have the most comprehensive and detailed information available on sale day including full ASBV’s, indexes, rankings and latest wool test results so that buyers have the complete tools in order to make the best decision on the rams that will be breeding their next generation of high performing sheep.

New funding for tourism businesses A new grants program for regional tourism business operators looking to improve their tourism offerings is now open for applications.

The new Tourism Industry Regional Development Fund (TIRF) Grants Program will help achieve industry goals for increased productivity, innovation and quality contained in the national Tourism 2020 strategy.

Member for Eden-Monaro Dr Mike Kelly welcomed the announcement, highlighting the potential benefit to local tourism businesses in his electorate and the flow on effect to the rest of

the region.

“A major focus of the TIRF Grants Program is improving the quality of accommodation and attractions in regional areas like ours,” Dr Kelly said.

“Funding will also be available for creating completely new projects to attract interstate and international visitors and extend their length of stay.

“This investment by the Federal Government will help attract visitors to Eden-Monaro.

These visitors bring with them important tourist dollars that benefit not only our local tourism business, but also have a

positive effect on the rest of the community.

“Eligible applicants have until December 14 to get their applications in, and I encourage tourism operators in the area to investigate this valuable new opportunity.”

Assessment criteria for the grant include alignment with Tourism 2020 goals, the strategic and collaborative value of the project for its region, the expected outcomes from the innovation or improvement, and the capacity to deliver the project within agreed timeframes.

Grants from $50,000-$250,000

will be offered on a matched dollar-for-dollar funding basis.

Successful recipients will be expected to work closely with regional industry partners, tourism organisations and local authorities, especially where development approval is required.

The program guidelines, application form and frequently asked questions are available on www.ret. gov.au/tirfgrants.

For more information, call the Tourism Grants Information Line on 6243 7604.

Zac’s progress after 10 months It has been 10 months since Zac Sliwaka stopped breathing and required urgent medical treatment.

He has made amazing progress, he has gone from not being able to lift his head, to drinking from a cup, self-feeding finger foods and rolling.

He is very close to commando crawling; he is able to support himself in a walking frame and is starting to initiate steps thanks to his wonderful therapist Gabby.

The need for this early intervention therapy is paramount to Zac being able to re-learn all the skills we take for granted.

The bulk of Zac’s therapy is self funded due to limited government funded recourses, sadly demand far exceeds supply.

Zac’s family would like to thank all their Cooma family and friends for their support over the past 10 months; the donations, buying raffle tickets cakes and chocolates, Skip for his purposely built change table, Rotary Club, Cooma Visitors Centre and the Cooma Men’s shed for his purpose-built trolley.

The support has been overwhelming all money previously raised has paid for Zac’s treatment to date.

We hope you can continue to help Zac’s family who are participating in Riverwalk Canberra on November 17.

The event is a 5km walk designed to help families caring for children and adults with acquired Brain Injury.

The funds raised go directly to the families to assist in specialised equipment and therapy, the cost going forward into the coming 12 months for Zac is in excess of $20,000.

If you are able to help the family by donating please log on to http://www. developingfoundation.com.au Click on the donation cause dropdown menu for Canberra Jody Sliwka Family, all donations are tax deductable and a receipt will be sent to you accordingly.

Snowliner’s Kimberley Experience (continued from last week…)

3,157kms later we arrive in Broome. Final farewells are given to Ryan and Rob and we settle in to our accommodation for a few days.

Wednesday has us enjoying a town tour.

Broome has a population of 18,000 and up to 50,000 visitors during the season.

Cable Beach is admired and Gantheaume Point with its dinosaur footprints visited.

A Qantas jet is taking off and we are sure we can see Fran waving to us. From a distance we can see the wharf, which on our first tour around Australia we drove out on – it is 1km in length. I still remember the box of prawns purchased which had to be cooked and of course eaten.

The Japanese Cemetery and its tragedies were explained – many young died from the bends while diving for pearls. Mainbeach, Roebuck Bay and mention of Gus Winckel’s (Jim’s dad) efforts in fighting off the Japanese single handed were just some of the information Linda, our informative driver/guide, gave us.

Many chose to disembark in Chinatown to support the local economy. Stay tuned for exciting purchases made.

This afternoon many enjoyed the Intombi Sail Cruise. Owing to choppy waters they remained in Roebuck Bay with friendly dolphins visiting while

enjoying canapés.

The remainder of our group met at Cable Beach to enjoy nibbles while watching the amazing sunset. A bonus was seeing whales in the distance frolicking in the ocean.

Thursday arrives and a free morning before some head off to Willie Creek Pearl Farm for an interesting and informative talk on pearl production.

I have now been to Broome three times and never had the opportunity to swim at Cable Beach.

Realising the tide was in I dragged Jim along to share the experience.

Jim Winckel is along for the journey and his father was a dutch air pilot who shot down a Japanese zero over Roebuck Bay during the War saving numerous lives. Two streets are now named after Jim’s father – Gus Winckel Road and Winckel Court.

We drove to these streets this afternoon to take the obligatory photo to show Jim’s dad who will turn 100 in October – he currently lives in New Zealand.

Friday arrives and an early start is required for 16 who are going to enjoy the Horizontal Falls – what an experience.

We had six hours in a 4WD – just in case we didn’t have enough on the Gibb River Road.

Visiting Cape Leveqee for breakfast and the rock formations on the beach where the Children’s Choir sang part of the

wonderful Qantas song.

From here we went to One Arm Point, visiting a shell breeding business before swapping on to a seaplane for our flight to the Horizontal Falls.

There are actually two Horizontal Falls which we flew over before landing next to our pontoon for several hours.

Transferring to a jet boat we were taken to the Falls. The wider falls were very calm but the narrower opening had water raging through it with about a five-foot difference in height as the incoming tide tries to rush through the narrow opening.

On return to the pontoon some foolhardy persons, both with the names starting with J, go into the shark proof cages while a bull shark and lemon sharks are fed. Lunch was the best barramundi we have tasted. The tide has turned and we go for another visit to the Falls this time racing through the gap. By the time we have completed our last pass through you can visibly see the difference in the water height. The area around the gap is like a whirlpool, I would not like to fall in here. Once again I doubt the photo will do justice to what the eyes are seeing.

It is now time to return to Broome and along the way we can see a massive front of control burning. It is our last night in Broome and I think some are wishing

Regional Employer’s Roadshow The Regional Employer’s Roadshow is Heading Your Way Would you like to sit down with an industry expert and analyse how you might improve your business?

How about a 66% discount on staff training? Maybe engage a team of professionals to recruit someone with just the right skills for your job vacancy? The Regional Employer’s Roadshow offers you access to all this and more, for free!

An initiative of Regional Development Australia Southern Inland (RDASI), the Roadshow aims to introduce regional employers to the wide range of programs, incentives and resources on offer in the Southern Inland region.

Eight government agencies will share information about their programs and answer your questions.

Presenters include the Commonwealth Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations and the NSW Department of Trade and Investment. With such a wide range of agencies, there will be something of value for every employer.

RDASI Chair, Ken Prendergast, explains the aims of the Roadshow project. “There are a number of excellent programs available, but often business owners are

unaware of them, or the process of accessing them appears too complex.” Ken continues “The Roadshow has been designed to showcase a broad range of programs, incentives and resources.

The format means employers can meet government agencies face to face and pinpoint exactly which programs would be a good fit for their business.”

Ken concludes “We see the Roadshows as a conversation between employers and service providers. We’ve got information to share, but we’re also very keen to hear from employers – what are the key challenges you’re facing today, how can we help you overcome these challenges?”

These events are free, refreshments will be served. You will enjoy a night of great networking opportunities, access valuable resources and maybe even win a lucky door prize! Roadshow events commence on Monday 12th November and continue until Friday 16th November at venues throughout the Southern Inland region.

To find out more and to register, visit www.rdasi.org.au and follow the links to the Roadshow page.

they were continuing the journey.

Saturday we depart by plane arriving in Perth where eight say goodbye with hugs and kisses as the others wait for their flight to Canberra and return to the cold.

Wednesday has also been and gone when our Indian Pacific travellers leave Cooma bright and early for their train connection to Sydney.

Owing to a derailment the Indian Pacific is running an hour late but eventually our train travellers entrain and sit back and enjoy their journey. A short stop is made at Broken Hill unfortunately unable to do a tour as they are trying to catch up on time.

Meal times come and go, the scenery passes by, a quick tour of Adelaide is enjoyed and the Nullabor is ahead. Heather has the ladies knitting, including another passenger who volunteered here services.

Some enjoyed a tour by night of the Super Pit at Kalgoorlie – it is like watching matchbox cars driving around.

VIDEO ART SHOWING AT THE RAGLAN “Sense of Place” – Now Showing!

Gallery Hours 9.30am to 4.30pm Wednesday to Sunday 9-11 Lambie St, Cooma Remember the Carpenters?

Darren Sylvester is well known for his cool, pop culture-savvy photographs, but in recent years he has also begun to work in video, a medium that allows him to explore his love of Music. In the video installation “I Was the Last to Walk in the Carpenters’ Garden” he recreates pop idols Karen and Richard Carpenter’s Japanese style garden in Los Angeles that was razed in 2005. So, in a Melbourne studio he built himself a mock-up, rolling out reams of red fabric, and hysterically green fake grass, hand carving the names Karen, Richard and Superstar, in Romaji, (the Roman alphabet used to transliterate Japanese) on wooden plaques, and building his own bridge over troubled waters, all in painstakingly exact proportions. Music of running water is in the background.

It is perhaps a commentary on the emptiness of hero worship and the comic inability of genuinely connecting with those pop-culture icons you adore from afar. (courtesy Sullivan and Strumpf fine Art)

From 19th November until 4th December Liam Bensons’ two works “I believe in You” and “True Blue” run end to end and feature perhaps the most unfettered and certainly the most optimis tic of responses to the post Cronulla riot in Australia. Referencing a number of pop cultural influences including Kylie and The Bra Boys, Benson’s video “I Believe in You” is a disarming and highly charming treatise on love and acceptance.

Monaro Property Muster - Wednesday November 7, 2012

Do You Have Super?

The scary reality is that 86.6% of Australians will retire on $16,000 p/a or less. Is that going to be enough to maintain your current lifestyle? I don’t think so.

STOP watching your super decrease. ACT NOW! It is not too late to make your super work for you.

What if you could make up to $60,000 p/a, that is sustainable, Interested now?

We started Prosperity Property Advisors, to help people just like you secure their future with safe and affordable properties. This is achieved by teaching tried, tested and proven systems of success.

We educate our clients on what makes a successful investment and why. We also facilitate the entire process to avoid the mistakes others make and save our clients time, money, and stress.

So you too can have a Personal Prosperity Plan.

A set and forget strategy so you can truly say “she’ll be right mate” with the peace of mind you and your family deserve.

We are at an incredible time in history where in specific locations, people like you, can invest in high returning positive cash flow property.

Which means you can purchase a property with no cash deposit, that returns you approx. $100 per week for holding this property, in locations where economist believe property will experience $60,000 growth per annum. It really is a no brainer getting paid to build wealth.

In a nutshell, you could make $5000+ p/a additional income for purchasing a property. Plus, capital growth of approx $60,000 p/a, whilst someone else pays off your house.

Are you making $65,000+ p/a in your current super fund?

Many people just like you are also buying property in Super, by setting up a Self Managed Super Fund. The Government has relaxed the laws and people can now have total control of their Super fund. They too realise that with Australia’s aging population there isn’t going to be enough money to pay you a pension. That is why there are so many great tax benefits to setting up a SMSF, for example once you retire and sell your property it will be TAX FREE. YES! TAX FREE!!!

With a national presence we have consultants and properties Australia wide. But one of the most important elements to the properties they recommend to their clients is QUALITY. They only select the premium builders in each location to assure the property is built to the highest standard, at wholesale prices, 100% full turn key and on a fixed contract (No more to pay). So, there is no hidden costs, no maintenance issues, the highest rental return and maximum tax benefits but importantly Capital Growth!!

For a complimentary strategy session please contact Peter on peter@prosperitygroup.com.au or call 0430 096 823.

Have a great day!

Grassroots

These noxious weeds are invasive

Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius), cape broom (Genista monspressulana) and gorse (Cytisus scoparius) are from the legume family (Fabaceae) and are invasive noxious weeds in some areas of the Australian landscape.

These three shrubs are characterised by a long seed life. Originally, broom and gorse were planted as a hedge or as ornamental garden plants. Gorse and broom smother desirable vegetation, which reduces pasture stocking rates; they invade the environment, out-competing native plants and altering the ecosystem.

Gorse and broom are spread via seed in soil, water, machinery, stock and wildlife. Their pods burst open in hot weather during spring and summer, scattering seeds up to several metres from the plant, allowing infestations to thicken quickly and spread, particularly along water courses and forest margins.

Seedlings take two or more years to grow to seed-producing shrubs and adult shrubs can then live several decades. Seeds of these species have a hard coat that can delay germination for months or years, allowing large seed banks to

develop.

Seed can germinate on a range of soil types and remain viable in the ground for many years. Broom and gorse are able to flourish in areas with an annual rainfall of more than 400mm.

Broom and gorse are mostly confined to the cool temperate areas of NSW, particularly the tablelands. Large areas of broom exist on the Barrington Tops and near Braidwood. In the CoomaMonaro Shire, the main areas of concern are the Badja area, around the Cooma/Nimmitabel townships and in the Shannons Flat region.

Flowering mostly occurs from late winter to late spring. For gorse, a second flowering may occur towards the end of summer and into autumn. Broom and gorse produce a yellow flower which is easily identified and can be controlled by mechanical removal and herbicides.

The cost of control is typically high and therefore it is more costeffective to control new infestations early so as not to become an

established infestation.

Recently, the Department of Primary Industries listed gorse, Scotch/ English broom and cape brooms as Weeds of National Significance (WONS), which is an indication of the importance to control these noxious weeds in the Cooma-Monaro Shire.

Solid results at Greendale Merinos A collection of new and repeat clients were focused on securing the quality merino sheep of Greendale Merinos, at the on property sale last Thursday 1 November.

Buyers attending travelled from Bowna, Goulburn, Alectown, Bigga, Corowa, Seymour Victoria as well as strong local support.

The McGufficke Family were optimistic for a solid sale and this was achieved.

There were rams available for all budgets and the rams lined up for sale showed great qualities and more depth.

There where 32 bidders registered under the Helmsman Auction System which generated keen competition for the 112 lots offered selling 82 lots to an average of $1,345.00.

Volume buyers were Warrembool Pastoral Co, Oli & Jane Cay, Jimenbuen Pastoral Co, Meurer Pastoral Co, Corowa Vic and Eastwood Partnership Seymour Victoria.

Equal Top priced rams Lot 12 sold for $2,500.00 to B & E Dwyer and Lot 14 sold for $2,500 to Jimenbuen Pastoral Co. Lots 63 and 77 sold to Wathonga Partnership for $2,400.00 each.

Other high achievers were Lots 3 sold to John Fisher and Lot 7 to Lake Bullenbalong Pastoral Co each for $2,300.00.

The majority of other purchasers secured two or three rams each.

Greendale Merinos offer clients wanting to improve profitability within their own flocks, a genetic package of high fleece weights, low micron wool. This is validated with clients’ performances of highly profitable results in a number of Comparison Trials.

By providing information from data collected on fleece weight, micron and growth to Sheep Genetics, they have been able to provide clients with ASBVs to further identify the right sheep to introduce to

their flocks.

The McGufficke Participation in families would like to Australian Merino Sire thank all buyers and

Buyers B and E Dwyer with Mark McGufficke and Craig Wilson Evaluation Program and Wether Trials has also provided Greendale Merinos with more benchmarks and highlighted why they are a high ranking, high performing Merino breeding business.

Greendale Merinos have worked hard to breed rams that will put ‘more dollars’ in their clients’ pockets with sheep producing more wool cut per hectare.

Managing our native vegetation Free workshop for local land managers in the Adaminaby region Are you a land manager in the Adaminaby region? Do you have native grassland or woodland vegetation on your property – particularly consisting of Snow Gum trees? Would you like support and funding to help manage this native vegetation?

If the answer is YES, then this opportunity is for you!

The Monaro Landscape Connectivity project team wants to work with land managers to improve the condition, extent and connectivity of native vegetation across the Monaro region, in the Murrumbidgee catchment.

Interested land managers are invited to attend a free workshop on the

Stewartfield Road, Adaminaby on Friday 9th November 2012.

The workshop will provide land managers with advice on how to improve the condition, extent and connectivity of native vegetation on their properties.

Each person at the workshop will be provided with an aerial photograph of their property, to show the location of native vegetation in their area and help plan on-ground works.

Participants will also learn about Traditional (Indigenous) land management principles and there will be opportunities to apply these practices at sites on individual properties.

This project is being delivered in partnership between the Kosciuszko to Coast Partnership, Murrumbidgee Landcare Inc and the Murrumbidgee Catchment Management Authority, with funding from the Australian Government’s Caring for Our Country program.

To register for the workshop, or receive further information about the project, contact Felicity Collins (Murrumbidgee CMA): 64 524 150, or felicity. collins@cma.nsw.gov.au.

38 Grassroots Merino Wether Trial results show the difference bloodline can make…

Wednesday November 7, 2012

The first shearing for the Monaro Farming Systems (MFS) “Merino Genetic Comparison trial” took place at “Knockalong” on Tuesday October 216.

Twenty-four teams entered the trial representing a total of 19 bloodlines.

The teams include seven seven from the Yass, Bookham, Crookwell region, and 17 teams originating from the Nimmitabel, Bombala, Jindabyne, Cooma, Bungarby, Berridale and Jerangle regions.

The trial was initiated by MFS to assist producers in the Merino Breeding Industry to make more informed decisions on their genetics and to show the entrants in the trial and the wider sheep industry the genetic opportunities that exist.

The fist year results have already started to demonstrate, under equivalent commercial conditions, the variation in the relative productivity of Merino sheep flocks for economically important characteristics i.e. fleece weight, fibre diameter and body weight and the resultant difference in gross margin per dry sheep equivalent (GM/DSE).

The averages across the 24 teams include; -Greasy Wool Weight = 5.5kg -Clean Wool Weight = 4.0kg -Shorn Body Weight = 48.3kg -Micron = 16.8 -Schlum. Yield = 74.2 -Clean Price = 1672 c/kg -Average Wool Value = $64.09 (per head) -Gross Margin / DSE = $59.60 -Fleece Rot Score (visually assessed) = 1.03 The top five teams ranked by average wool value included; Tallawong Pastoral (Tallawong S), Bellevue (Bobingah S), Greendale (Greendale S), Mayfield Partnership (Greendale) and Anunaka (Pastora). [**Note; the italics in brackets denotes the bloodline and S identifies enterprises that are selling rams for commercial purposes.]

In terms of wool value ranking, the difference between the top team (Av. $76.77 / hd) and the bottom team (Av. $50.28 / hd) was $26.49 against an average of $64.09.

The top 5 teams ranked by Gross Margin per DSE (dry sheep equivalent) included; Greendale (Greendale S), Bellevue (Bobingah S), Tallawong Pastoral (Tallawong S), Mayfield Partnership (Greendale) and Gaerloch (Gaerloch).

In terms of gross margin per DSE ranking, the difference between the top team ($68.12) and the bottom team ($32.97) was $35.15 against an average of $59.60.

Each team was also visually assessed and given a score for fleece rot and an average per team for body wrinkle score.

Average market prices for the 12 months (October 2011 – October 2012) were used to value all fleeces, pieces etc.

Fleeces were valued within their bin lines (AAAM, BBB etc) on the basis of the average micron and discounts applied according to the tested length, strength and observed colour. This method avoids the issue of single fleeces of being valued at elevated levels even though they could not be sold this way in reality.

The net result is a valuation for the team which is very like the result that would occur in the commercial shearing shed.

All wethers were weighed and fat scored at the time of even up shearing as well as at mid side sampling.

Fleece free body weights were calculated by subtracting the total wool weight of each sheep from this body weight at mid side sampling.

DSE rating was calculated by adding the energy required to maintain the average weight of the animal throughout the year and the energy required for the average rate of gain in weight throughout the year using published relationships (SCA 1990).

This DSE rating was used to determine the expected gross margin per DSE. Gross Margin was calculated by subtracting a constant $14.82 variable costs per head from the average gross wool value of the team.

This trial will be run over three years, with two more years of data to be taken into account.

MFS will ensure the local rural community are kept well informed of the results of the trial and the potential opportunities it may highlight.

MFS would like to thank Doug Alcock and Phil Graham (NSW Industry and Investment) for all their work in measurement of data and collation and presentation of results, MFS sponsors for the trial Gordon Litchfield Wool and Jemalong Wool, MFS members for supporting the trial (especially Alan McGufficke, Oli Cay, Stephen and Lionel Platts & John Murdoch) and Rowan Wright for hosting the trial and his outstanding management of the trial wethers during the year.

Monaro Club Sunday challenge With so many bowlers away playing Monaro Club Sunday Challenge at Adaminaby on Saturday and at Bombala for Patrons Shield, social bowlers were thin on the ground at Cooma last weekend.

Just seven players each day. This gave us a chance to trial a format for seven as suggested by Dennis Steinfort, which proved successful after the initial confusion.

Keith Goodwin, Sherry Seears, Steven Seears and Dennis Steinfort were unable to match it with Daphne Buckley, Sergio Roncelli and Jim Lumsden going down 10/27. On Sunday, again only 7 players so they too were introduced to the same format. Keith Goodwin, Lorraine West, Mary Phillips and Bob Lahy had a close encounter with Renat Winckel, Ken Bowden and Nelson

Wallace with the former getting home 16/13. A feature of this game was fifteen of the twenty on ends were decided by just on shot.

In Monaro Clubs Challenge at Adaminaby, Adaminaby played Jindabyne, Cooma played Nimmitabel.

Adaminaby lost the pairs to Jindabyne but won both the Triples and Fours in a tiebreaker in each to give each team 6 points. Cooma proved too strong for Nimmitabel in winning on all three rinks for 12 points plus 3 for a win on all three rinks.

The points score is: Cooma 15, Adaminaby and Jindabyne 6 each and Nimmitabel 0.

In Patrons Cup at Bombala, Cooma won 4 rinks to 2 with one rink even but lost overall by six shots. A great time was had by all.

Round four of the Cooma Netball Association Night competition was played last Monday night, with the weather being perfect.

Court 1 Had Hair Reflections playing against Boyce Bandits in a fast paced Game. Hair Reflections, winning 73 to 8.

Court 2 Saw the experienced Shell

Shampas playing against Cooma 13’s Rep team, with a fun match evident on the court, Shell Shampas betting Reps 42 to 19 Court 3 match was between Team 5 and the younger Purple Pops team, with Team 5 skills level evident winning 33 to 12.

Cricket Gala Day in Cooma

A great day was had by all at the recent schools cricket gala day held at Nijong Oval.

Students attended from Cooma Public, Cooma North Public, St Patrick’s Parish and Nimmitabel Public School.s They learned the basics of cricket, had a bat and a bowl.

Generally, the boys and girls had a fun day of learning.

First new record for Cooma athletics season Nicholas Zusak knocks over our First Record for 2012/13 Season.

On another blustery night with the wind in a favourable direction for the sprinters, running in the U/11’s 50m, Nicholas blasted from the start with power to burn.

He has one of the best running styles you ever likely see and cruised like a missile over the surface with absolute ease. As he crossed the finish line both timekeepers watches showed 7.59 sec.

Nicholas had broken the old record by 1/100th of a second.

The old record was held

by Jay Rowley set in 2002 Jesse Williams nearly had his name in the record book too.

Jesse Williams set fire to the track when he had a scorcher of a run in the U/12’s 50m Sprint.

Jesse came within 1/100th of the record clocking 7.26 sec. The record is held by Jason Galloway in 7.25 sec set in 1995.

In one of the closest finishes so far this season , Jesse Williams just edged out Liam Rankin (7.34 sec) which is only 55cm between him and Jesse, with Bailey Rogers (7.47 sec) just on a metre behind Liam.

1500m outstanding performances from the program - U/12 Bailey Rogers in 6m 44.91 sec and U/11 Nicholas Zusak breaking through the 7 minutes barrier with 6m 59.28 sec.

The U/11 girls also showed grit and determination with only 3.5m between first and second with Emma McDonald (7m 39.9 sec) just forging ahead of Brenna Clayton (7m 40.18 sec) with Laura

Hobbs third in 8m 08.40 sec.

Walks Chelsea Lunt (8m 28.15 sec) and Leah Rogers (8m 34.30 sec) showed their skills in the U/11 Girls 1100m Walk.

Gabrielle Steiner Best of the U/12’s Walkers with 12m 32.05 sec U/10’s Boys saw another titanic struggle between Hugo Steiner (5m 03.43 sec) and Jordan Davis (5m 10.01 sec) and Hudson Laird (5m 35.29 sec) in 3rd place.

There was another excellent display of walking in the U/9 girls competition , with only inches between the leading girls. Jesse Lunt 5m 05.16 sec just one stride ahead of Lucy Thornton whose time was 5m 05.68 sec.

In the U/6’s and U/7’s most of these athlete were having their first attempt at the “Art of

Race Walking”.

The distance for the young ones is limited to 200m, we encourage their parents to walk with them to ensure they don’t run and keep pace with their parents (usually the children are faster than the parents).

The leading athletes in the U/7’s were Stephen Davis, Luke MitchellRukin and Adele Lunt all around 1m 30 sec mark. The U/6’s saw Will McPhee, Damien Kennedy, Michael Pevere and Nevesh Assanaski below the two-minute barrier.

Field Events Only seven athletes were able to achieve above 80 percent of each events record.

Adele Lunt (81%) soared to 2.63m in the U/7 girls Long Jump.

Kristian Zusak (90%) is striving to break through the one metre mark. This

week he cleared 0.90m and is only 21 m off the record in the U/8 Boys High Jump.

Lucy Thornton (89%) is less than a metre away from the U/9 girls Shot Put record of 6.63m.

Lucy just fell short of the 6m barrier as she powered the shot out to a season best of 5.93m.

Hugo Steiner (80%) jumped impressively this week when he rocketed to 1.05m in the U/10 Boys High Jump.

Nicholas Zusak, after his record breaking run in the 50m and followed by his excellent 1500m effort, polished off the night with a near perfect display of High Jumping as he cleared 1.05m, equalling 80% of the Cooma’s High Jump record of 1.42m.

The result of the U/1213 boys High Jump produced the closest result in the field events on the night as four boys

cleared the one metre mark. First to leave the competition was Bradley Pevere with 1.05m (76%, PB), and then Bailey Rogers (87%) was able to clear 1.20m before he was eliminated. The remaining two cleared the next height at 1.25m, but Liam Rankin (80% SB) was unable to match Jesse William’s long legs and exited at the height of 1.30m, leaving only Jesse in the competition.

Jesse couldn’t clear the next height 1.35m, giving him a season best at 1.30m (=SB).

Personal bests A total of 39.5 PBs were achieved overall, our second largest haul of the season. Those with two personal bests were: U/6 Girl Nevaeh Asssanski in the 50m and Discus. U/9 Girls Sariah Clifford also in the 50m and then the Shot

Put, Shelly Roberts two came in the Shot Put and Discus and Lucy Thornton in the 50m and Shot Put. U/9 Boy Colby McDonald also collected his PB’s in the 50m and Shot Put. U/10 Girl Taylah Maurier, received hers for her effort in the 50m and Discus, while Jordan Davis 2came via the 50m and High Jump. Only Nicholas Zusak in the U/11 was able to procure 2 PBs, Nicholas’s record run in the 50m and then the Javelin. Two Under 12’s acquired 2 PB each; Jessica Buckland, collected her two in High Jump and Javelin. Bailey Rogers also picked one for the Javelin and other at the 50m.

Next week is competition week four, the end of our second rotation of events. So, I’ll see you all on the Track.

Big weekend of cricket on Monaro A big weekend of cricket began on Saturday with the MDCA one day competition now in full swing.

Cooma Cannons 9/181 defeated Jindabyne all out 151Chris Khoury top scoring for the Cats with a well made 91.

The Alpine 8/321 defeated the Cannons all out 82- John Langton scoring a massive 130 and Coffeys 1/113 easily accounting for Berridale all out 112.

The table stands as: Berridale 28 Cooma Cats 28 Alpine 22 Jindabyne 22 Coffeys 22 Cannons 10 Sunday saw three matches of representative cricket played with the Seniors taking on a well drilled Robertson Burrawang who posted a very large total of 314.

The Monaro put up a strong showing with the bat and posted a fairly handy 241- Kris Oliver the standout for the Monaro taking 4/55 with the ball and smashing 78 with the bat.

The under 16’s all out for 79 defeated Eurobodalla all out for 68 with Luke Johnson taking 5/20.

The Under 12’s travelled to Bodalla and put up a strong showing all out for 132 and the Eurobodalla getting the runs with five wickets in tact. Top scorer with Jimmy Hayden with a nice 48.

Country Plate Match Report Monaro V Robertson Burrawng at Rotary Monaro won the toss and elected to bowl hoping to take a few early wickets on a pitch that may have had some early assistance for the bowlers.

Monaro got off to the perfect start with Kris Oliver (4/55) hitting middle stump on the first ball of the morning.

The Roberston team looked a little bit shell shocked after the early barrage and a couple of run out chances were missed in the next few overs which proved to be very costly as the solid number three for Robertson Dean Roxburgh (102) went

about smashing all bowlers to the boundaryRobertson were going at just over eight an over and a massive score looked likely.

With the pace attack not having any chance on the Rotary deck which had now resembled something similar to the Monaro Highway runs continued to flow at alarming rates with the aid of some poor ground fielding.

Spin was the only option left and Sam Williams (2/53) and Damian Asanovski (1/43) did the trick with the pair bowling a combination of quicker balls and the odd one taking a bit of turn and bounce.

The run rate slowed for a brief fuve over period as a few wickets fell and the Monaro looked like keeping the Robertson side to around the 260 mark but the last seven overs the Robertson tail blazed away posting a very handy 314.

Monaro were going to need a great start to stand any chance of chasing down the big total but the Roberston

opening bowlers had different plans, bowling at a good pace and tight lines to a very defensive field ripped through the top order and Monaro were in real trouble at 3/26 after eight overs.

Sam Williams (27) restored the Monaro innings and was looking in good touch and if the Roberston team hadn’t been so negative setting a 9:1 field we may have seen a great knock from Sammy but with the Robertson team bowling two foot outside off stump runs were hard to come by.

Williams was caught off the bowling of Buffet (4/41).

At 5/72 Monaro were pretty well done and dusted but someone forgot to tell Dean Wolf (43) and Kris Oliver (78) as the pair smashed an amazing 100 run partnership with a mix of pure power hitting and elegant touch.

The negative 9:1 field placements soon dissolved as the ball was dispatched to all parts of the ground. A small glimmer of hope started to come over

45

the Monaro camp as the runs ticked over at well over 10 an over.

The Roberston team who were very vocal were suddenly very quiet and the match had started to turn. Dean Wolf was caught right on the boundary and with the score on 174 in the 32nd over the Monaro had a chance but with only three wickets left in the shed it would require something special but it wasn’t to be as Oliver started to run out of steam and was caught behind with the score on 207.

Monaro all out for 241 in the 45th over.

Junior representative cricket 12’s Monaro vs Eurobodalla U at Bodalla.

The U12’s headed to Bodalla on Sunday for the first game in the representative season.

Jimmy Hayden won the toss and chose to bat, a decision that reaped rewards early with 21 runs being hit

by Lachie Jones and Remy Oldrey from the first three overs.

Remy (1) was bowled in the next over, and that saw Hayden come to the wicket to continue scoring at a good rate. When Jones fell for 19 with the total at 31, support for the innings was needed, but Will Saddler (1), Toby Haylock (1), James Cahill (5) and Lachie Inskip (0) all went cheaply while Hayden went on his merry way.

Declan Gregory came to the rescue with a solid 11 runs including two fours, but when the captain was dismissed for an excellent 46,

Y E ES ABL T UR VAIL O C A S BU Members

hope of stemming the run flow with two quick wickets; McPherson (18) went to a good catch by Toby at mid-off, then next ball saw an easy catch to Inskip close in.

The hat-trick was avoided by Piper, and when he put on 22 before Will Saddler had him caught behind by Russ Haylock (now with the gloves on), the score had gone on to 107.

From there Gallen saw the side to the target, finishing with 36 wellcompiled runs. Two late consolation wickets were claimed by Toby and Will, but Eurobodalla were home with wickets and overs to spare.

The boys played the game in the right spirit, and tried hard until the end. With a couple of bigger partnerships in the middle of the innings, and the bowlers pitching the ball up, the result could easily have been closer. The next game

is at Bomaderry on November 18, hopefully everyone can work hard on their games before then.

Thanks to the MDCA for providing the shirts and caps, and to the parents and coaching crew who made the trip to Bodalla.

Under 16s defeat Eurobodalla The Monaro Under 16 Rep side faced the Eurobodalla side at Nijong Oval on Sunday. Eurobodalla won the toss and sent Monaro into bat.

Monaro made a solid start against a well drilled Eurobodalla bowling attack being 2/57 after 17 overs.

The outfield was extremely slow with no reward for attacking shots along the ground which made scoring very difficult. The last eight wickets fell for only 22 runs leaving Monaro all out for 79. The top contributors for Monaro with the bat were Matt Bruce (26) who was well supported by opener Kevin Fraser

(14).

Eurobodalla came out to bat chasing the low score of 80 for victory.

Good bowling by Josh Hogan and Zac Saddler kept the pressure on without luck.

Eurobodalla made a solid start and were 0/22 after 7 overs. The first breakthrough occurred in Luke Johnson’s first over when he picked up 2 wickets. An important partnership followed but then Kevin Fraser sent down a tight ball to get the next wicket. Some excellent fielding performances by Josh Steinke, Noah Learoyd and Daniel Robinson and great catches

by Brandon Williams, Damian Hayden and Tim Wall followed for Eurobodalla to be all out for 67 runs. Luke Johnson finished with the attractive bowling figures of 5/20.

Well done by Monaro and thanks to the people who assisted on the day.

What’s happening @ the Banjo

HAPPY HOUR 4.30-6.30pm Mon-Fri

the innings was wrapped up fairly quickly after Russell Haylock (3) and Will Cahill (8) were sent back to the sheds, leaving Danyon Corby stranded without facing a ball. With some generous wides and no-balls, the Monaro boys posted 132 after 31 overs, making the mistake of not batting out their full 40 overs.

For Eurobodalla, L. McPherson, J. Gallen and S. Griffin each took two wickets.

Their openers came out to bat knowing that only three runs per over would get them home, so the run rate was kept at a steady level until the sixth over when Declan Gregory got the breakthrough with the score at 23.

From here the trouble started as Gallen and McPherson went to work with some good hitting, and by the 15th over were 1 for 65.

Drinks were taken, and in the next over Russ Haylock provided some
