Fire threat

continues

While the Murrrumbucca fire to the north of Cooma has been controlled and under patrol until rain falls, possibly this Friday, to the south of the region, fires have wreaked havoc in parts of East Gippsland. Delegate housed a base camp as hundreds of fire fighters and machinery poured in the district. A Watch and Act message

was issued by Department of Environment and Primary Industries for Bonang, Cabanandra, Deddick Valley, Delegate River, Dellicknora and Tubbut. The large bushfire in this area had subsided due to cooler weather conditions, but was not under control at time of going to press on Tuesday morning.

Clean Up Australia Day 2014 Clean Up Australia Day is gearing up to be bigger and better than ever with site registrations coming in thick and fast. In 2013 more than 550,300 volunteers across sites removed an estimated 16,150 tonnes of rubbish from 7,341 sites across Australia. 2014 targets are to increase this by 10% nationally. So there’s never been a better time to put yourself in the picture. “Putting yourself in the picture is as simple as registering your own local site or volunteering to help at an existing site,” said Mr Kiernan AO, Chairman and founder of Clean Up Australia.. “We all know there are places in our community that need

some attention - our streets, parks, sporting grounds, beaches and waterways so check to see if they have already been registered for a 2014 Clean Up. Putting yourself in the picture is easy as volunteering to join that site. It’s a great way to meet your neighbours! “And if that important place is not yet registered – it’s not too late you take the lead and put yourself into the picture by becoming a site supervisor. Simply register your site, then call on family, friends and neighbours to join you.” “The challenge is over to you. Make 2014 the year you put yourself in the picture.”

Cooma’s historic railway closed Cooma’s historic railway has had to suspend its activities on the advice of inspectors from the National Rail Safety Authority. President of Cooma Monaro Railway, Rodney Clancy, said yesterday the railway would be working toward reopening as soon as possible. The suspension means the Valentine’s Day train trip planned for this Friday has had to be cancelled. Mr Clancy said the inspectors had recommended the suspension after inspecting the track. As well, some of the engines have come off-line pending restoration. He said as they are 90-years-old, the engines are treated with respect. However, work at the railway precinct continues, with a working bee planned for this weekend.

BENNY’S CAR OF THE WEEK

At Monday’s nights meeting of Cooma-Monaro shire Council, the administrator of the Cooma Universities Centre, Zoe Dawson, outlined the progress of the centre. The centre will celebrate its anniversary on March 6, and Ms Dawson advised council there will be celebrations. She said since its opening, the centre had had more than 102 registrations, with 67 students currently enrolled. In that time, several students had completed courses, especially courses which enable them to undertake further study. The range of courses being studied is vast, from undergraduate degrees to post-graduate degrees. Ms Dawson outlined her vision of making the centre a hub of learning for Cooma, which she said was appropriate given its proximity to the Cooma campus of TAFE. Looking to the future, Ms Dawson said she was exploring some exciting new possibilities for courses which would fit with demand in the local area. One of these courses is nursing. She said the centre could facilitate study into nursing from a couple of universities, but said what was lacking was a *training

Dalgety Show celebrates 70 years young The historic town of Dalgety celebrates a milestone birthday this year with the Dalgety Show now in its 70th year. The agricultural show which first began in 1945 holds childhood memories for those from five to 75 and this year celebrates being the ‘show for kids’ on Sunday March 2. President of the Dalgety Show Society, Tricia Gerny is proud to be involved in a community event that holds a special place in the hearts of so many people. “The show attracts young and old alike, but going to the show as a kid is amazing. So many people have fond memories of being a kid at the Dalgety Show, we want to celebrate these memories, while making memories for the kids of today.” A familiar face for kids has been invited to officially open the show. The official PRIME7 mascot, PRIME7 POSSUM will meet kids as part of the official opening taking place at 1pm at the Dalgety Showground. POSSUM’s cheeky

streak and colourful antics have been well known to kids for the past 20 years with his television program broadcast across regional Australia. Kids who attended last year’s show will be pleased to know that Milo the Clown is returning once again bringing with him his very silly magic wands and performing juggling and unicycle routines to delight children of all ages. The 70th Dalgety Show will take place on Sunday March 2, with all the usual favourite displays and competitions including horse events, sheep dog trials, pavilion displays and the famous Snowy River Tyrepower Teams Challenge. With rides and amusements for the kids plus stalls and art and craft competitions the Dalgety Show is a great day out for families. Entry is $10 for adults, $5 aged pensioners and free for school aged children. For more information visit the Show’s website www.dalgetyshow. com.au

New principal appreciates warm welcome St Patrick’s new principal, Frances Robertson, with Year 7 students Damon Fanning, Taylor Healy, Sara Knott, Sean Dixon and Zara Childs.

General Manager, JOE VESCIO

Later this week, Snowy River Shire is hosting the next RDASI Committee meeting. Currently funding applications are submitted for various projects under the Regional Development Australia Fund (RDAF) grant stream and Regional Development Australia Southern Inland's (RDASI) board oversees the application assessment process for our region. At present the Federal Government is reviewing these arrangements. When the Committee meets, a dinner and networking lunch will be held to discuss priorities for Snowy River and presents a great opportunity for Councillors, senior staff and community members to showcase the various options for grant funding in our Shire. The Committee will not only be talking to Council but to prominent local businesses who will be able to discuss project requirements for our region. They will also have a ‘tour’ of the area to gain insight as to the best fit for funding streams. Previously Council had raised formal concerns with the RDASI about the reality of the purported merit based assessment of applications against the stated criteria for funding applications. Council will seek some clarification and commitment from the RDASI in relation to its priorities. Council hopes that with further knowledge of our region, the Committee will be better placed when assessing funding applications to understand our region, its growth, services and requirements into the future.

St Patrick’s Parish School’s new principal, Frances Robertson, feels she has ‘come home’ to Cooma. Mrs Robertson started her tenure at St Patrick’s with the commencement of the school year – and she is loving her role in a very vibrant learning community. She has spent her working life –teaching classes from kindergarten to university – in rural areas. Having grown up in Forbes, Mrs Robertson is a country girl at heart and enjoys the sense of community that pervades rural communities. When she and her husband Garry visited Cooma in November, she said she felt that she was ‘coming home’. They had spent some time living in the Scottish Highlands and Switzerland in 1983 and determined then that they would make their permanent

home ‘in the mountains’. Then followed positions at Hay, Junee, Tarcutta, Wagga and then Griffith. However, now they have finally achieved their ambition and settled in a much cooler climate at Cooma. They are looking forward to exploring the mountains. Their adult children, now graduates, are pursuing their careers in dentistry and law. Mrs Robertson is passionate about education for children. Her desire is to see all children educated at her school leave as well-rounded individuals – whether that is going on to university, another school or into the local community. She will be a very visible principal, and has blocked out time in her diary every day to spend in classrooms – especially at the moment settling in Kindergarten children.

She said she loves the magic of the classroom – it energises her, especially when she sees students pick up on something and gain an understanding of complex ideas. She is keen to see her students appreciate a sense of community and a dedicated community service program for young people is high on the priority list. Mrs Robertson pointed out, “This is very much in line with our Christian faith. We also know that community service builds self-esteem, connects with the community and ultimately helps students to achieve better all round.� In the short term, much of her time will be occupied with planning a new building program for the secondary department, the full implementation of the Australian Curriculum and the

enhancement of the use of technology at the school. “The school has been in the very capable hands of Mr Phil Stubbs and has a lovely tone to it, with very positive academic results. However, all schools are a work in progress and there will be some changes. These changes will be in line with recent research and designed to bring about good learning for all students.� Mrs Robertson said her welcome to St Patrick’s and the Cooma community had been very warm, with flowers and gifts presented to her. “It has been a genuine country welcome,� she said. Mrs Robertson is looking forward to meeting the community and other educators in the region. “We do feel we have come home and that’s a lovely feeling� she said.

Cassie to feature at National Conference Cassandra Maye is currently studying in Year 12 at Snowy Mountains Grammar School. Last year, Cassie entered the Heywire Competition. This competition, hosted by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, is an opportunity for young people aged between 16 and 21 years to express an opinion about something which is important to them within their local community. Applicants can use any medium to make their point and regional winners are selected based on a variety of criteria,

but essentially the competition seeks out the voices of our young people in a non-political forum. Cassie w a s judged the South Eastern Regional winner with her clever video and voiceover presentation

proving that the youth of our region are not second-rate and are not disadvantaged w h e n compared to their city cousins. Cassie was responding to a newspaper article from a leading Sydney source which suggested that the ‘local kids’ came

in some distance behind their Sydney counterparts. This had hit a nerve for Cassie who came to Jindabyne to complete her schooling because of all that was on offer here for her. Cassie will join seven other regional winners in a week-long conference in Canberra next week, where she will have the opportunity to meet and mingle with people from all areas who are currently directing our future: politicians, business personnel, educators and many more.

New facility to assist mental illness in the region Over the past few months you may have noticed some increased activity in a small building in the carpark of Woolworths in Cooma and a very bright yellow and purple sign. The building has had a number of interesting past lives including being a 2nd hand clothing shop, cafe and restaurant. Today the building houses the Personal Helpers and Mentors Program (PHaMs) which provides individualised non-clinical support to people recovering from severe and persistent mental illness and funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services. PHaMs works with individuals to rebuild lives, to build individual capacity, to connect to the community and to help find meaning and purpose in daily life. It is a strength-based approach based on the principles of respect, empowerment, trust, commitment, flexibility and involvement. Particular target groups are those individuals most disadvantaged by their mental illness especially people who are aboriginal, culturally and linguistically diverse, young people and people who are experiencing homelessness, substance dependence and people who have been in jail. PHaMs Cooma is part of a larger BegaCooma team which provides outreach support to 45 people on their journey of recovery. The Cooma service currently has 2 staff with an additional staff member providing another program new to the Cooma region, the Partners in Recovery. PIR is a partnership between the Schizophrenia Fellowship of NSW (SFNSW), Medicare Local, Workability Personnel and PRA Richmond Fellowship, funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing. Partners in Recovery also assists people

who are living with a serious and persistent mental illness by improving access to and co-ordination of services so people receive a more inclusive and integrated service. The Schizophrenia Fellowship of NSW is a non-profit, community-based organisation dedicated to assisting people affected by all mental illnesses. As an organisation SFNSW is committed to improving

The brigade also attended a truck on fire near Cooma saleyards on Thursday afternoon and assisted its progress to the Truckstop at Polo Flat for repairs. The brigade has also been called to false alarms, with fire

Meeting the increasing demands for transport mobility is one of the biggest challenges we face in the Monaro region. To this end, an integrated transport plan involving road, rail and air is not only necessary in enhancing our growing population and its economic needs, but is vital in shaping our regional towns and communities in which we live. How we meet this challenge will have a great and lasting influence over many aspects of our social cohesion and regional identity within NSW. Your Council is working closely with both State and Federal governments, local stake holders and transport operators in addressing these issues, as mandated under the Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework guidelines, which you, the community have given us. On the local scene, Transport NSW has commenced the regulation process of interstate air transport services by calling applications to service the route between the Monaro-Cooma region and Sydney as a result of the current operator declaring bankruptcy. The process which closed on 7 February 2014, addressed the longer term service requirements which will operate under licence to expire in March 2018. A joint submission with Snowy River Shire Council has been submitted requesting regular passenger (RPT) services, for tourism requirements, health and medical support specialist servicing, and business group interests. Special thanks is extended to the variety of local interests including Cooma Chamber of Commerce, Regional Development Australia Southern Inland, The Monaro Regional Interagency Group, Tourism Snowy Mountains and others for their inputs to this air transport licensing process. On a broader stage, given the interest of the State government of late regarding regional aviation services, the NSW Legislative Council's Standing Committee on State Development are currently conducting an inquiry into air services. This is primarily focused on regional areas and its socio-economic impacts of air service needs, connectivity with other regional and Sydney arrangements, and future operator developments. It will also be addressing the development of future modern RPT aviation for both goods and passenger movement, including the training of professional and skilled aviation personnel, manufacturing and other related service developments. The Committee intends to hold public hearings following the closing submission date of the 14 March 2014. Hearing dates will be published on the Committee's website www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/statedevelopment. Council will be submitting to this inquiry, together with other councils, and is seeking input from the community in terms of the need for a modern regional air transport service to meet future needs of the Monaro region.

It must be time we had a drop of rain to put out the remaining bushfires. With the intense heat the region has experienced lately, one can only hope there is a bit of a weather change, even on the Monaro. Ah yes, frost on windscreen on Thursday morning and basking in 38 degree heat on Saturday. Our region must go close to having the greatest temperature fluctuations anywhere in Australia. Derby, WA, has the biggest tides - Cooma, NSW, has the greatest fluctuation between hot and cold. Except in winter when it is always just cold! Readers are advised to be on the lookout for the moron who has been lighting fires around town – especially in the Cooma North region. If you see anything suspicious, ring the cop shop immediately! Quick action might just stop this person from destroying a home, if not a life. For those still unsure, the choppers flying around town on Saturday morning were assisting our local town fire brigade with one of the deliberately-lit fires on Friday night. It’s not often we see a water bombing in a residential area. But that was why it was here – a firebug at work! The question is, what to do with such people once they are caught? Should they be counselled, rehabilitated, imprisoned?

Or should they be made to face the same fear and outright terror the victims of fires face - including the wildlfie which have to run for their very lives?

Before Christmas my husband Carl, 38 years, experienced a most unexpected stroke and was in Canberra Hospital for three weeks, including over Christmas. Just six weeks prior to this he had ruptured his Achilles tendon playing cricket for Dalgety at the Dalgety Showground. So he was in a very bad way. Members of the Dalgety and Berridale cricket teams were a great support to us, raising over $500 for our family which went a long was to covering accommodation costs for myself and our two young kids in Canberra.

We thank all of those who contributed with a special thanks to Ben Hearn and Gary Thompson who coordinated this effort. Carl has recovered very well, and while still receiving speech therapy he is back at work and showing improvements every day. We had so much support and well wishes from the Snowy Mountains community, our employers, friends and neighbours which certainly helped us through a difficult time reminding us how special it is to live amongst such wonderful people.

Opinion on the ABC Onya Maurie, I and I’m sure the majority of Australians applaud your protest against the activities of the taxpayer funded propaganda arm of the ALP, euphemistically referred to as the ABC. One correspondent in a Sydney newspaper refers to it as the ALPBC. UnAustralian is one thing, anti Australian something else. The only response so far has been a denunciation of your protest in the local Fairfax controlled ABC fellow traveller newspaper. There is now a growing groundswell of concern about the antics of this ragtag organisation and calls for the PM to review its activities. That of course will take years and what I would advise the govt. to do is to immediately abolish the overseas activities, cut the rest of the ABC budget in half and invite the ALP to make up the shortfall. The ABC/ALP activities in undermining Australia’s relationship with Indonesia are little short of treason. Indonesia responded to the hype about Schapelle Corby by giving one of the vicious murderous Bali bombers the same sentence as her and there was not a bleat from the ALP govt. Then there was the debacle over the live cattle trade with Indonesia when the ABC highlighted cruelty to animals which turned out to involve about two percent of Australian cattle. Never-the-less, the dreaded Thugwig took the opportunity to cancel the trade altogether - his only interest was taking a free kick at Australian farmers but that backfired badly. Then there is the attempt to undermine the highly successful border security initiative. Incidentally in the

Your local Award-winning newspaper

interests of recycling Tony Abbott should offer $10,000 to Indonesia for the return of each lifeboat. Remember six years ago when triple R (ranting raving Rudd) came to power the wild claims about the nasty mischiefs he was going to inflict on people smugglers before sneaking off overseas. Three of my five grandsons are serving in Australia’s Defence forces. Imagine my feelings while the eldest at age 26 was serving in Afghanistan to see a picture of a 26-year-old Afghan man having given all his money to people smugglers sitting with his hand out complaining about his treatment in Australia. Then there was the case of that scum writing letters to bereaved families congratulating the Afghan insurgents on killing their loved ones. Again, triple R ranted and raved about what he was going to do to this creature before sneaking off overseas. In the event that scoundrel after about two years of pussy footing around and celebrity appearances on TV has escaped with hardly a smack on the wrist. I kept my grandson up to date on these events and wise counsel has now prevailed. Although promoted to sergeant he has now dumped the Army and gone to the land of opportunity Canada where I am sure he will do very well. At the time I wrote letters to many interested parties including our ex Army federal ALP MP without a single response. Again congratulations to Maurie Henderson on his initiative. Noel Carter, Cooma.

COUNCIL communiqué COUNCIL MEETING 10 MARCH, COUNCIL CHAMBERS @ 4.30PM Council will hold its next Ordinary meeting of Council in Chambers, commencing at 4.30pm. Business Papers are available to the public on Council’s website www.cooma.nsw.gov.au the Friday of the week

preceding the meeting. Public Forum where residents are welcome to address Council on any matter commences from 6:30pm. Please contact Council’s Public Officer to register on 6455 1705.

PUBLIC NOTICE NIMMITABEL WATER SUPPLY LEVEL 6 WATER RESTRICTIONS Water flow into the pumping pondage on the McLaughlin River has ceased. To ensure a continued supply to meet the town’s essential needs, and to ensure there are sufficient reserves for firefighting purposes, Cooma Monaro Shire Council, in accordance with the Local Government (Water Services) Regulation 1999, Cl 5, has applied Level 6 Restrictions to water use, from 1.00am Wednesday 15 January 2014. • Water can be used for domestic purposes only. • Hand held hoses are banned. • Re-used domestic water may be applied to gardens using buckets. • No fixed sprinklers are permitted on residential, commercial or public properties. • No in-ground watering systems, soaker hoses or microsprays are permitted in residential, commercial or public properties. • Filling and topping up of private swimming pools with town water is prohibited. • Washing of motor vehicles is banned except for safety reasons. • No hosing or washing of paved or concrete areas. • Automatic flush toilets are banned. • Water cartage from Town Supply is prohibited. Rural

properties requiring domestic water supplies may obtain water from Cooma. These restrictions will apply to all properties connected to the Nimmitabel Water Supply Scheme. The restrictions will apply until further notice. The Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources has advised that for domestic use, consumers should be using approximately 135 L per person per day. Under Section 637 of the Local Government Act 1993, a person who wilfully or negligently wastes or misuses water from the public water supply, or causes any such water to be wasted, is guilty of an offence for which the maximum penalty is a fine of $2,200. Council’s Water & Wastewater Operator will be making random checks of usage to ensure compliance with the restrictions. Non potable water is available at the Council depot site, Bentley Street, from a 25 kl tank from which residents may obtain additional water for their garden. Please note this water is not for drinking. The tank will be refilled regularly from Cooma. For further information about the water restrictions please contact Cooma Monaro Shire Council’s Engineering Services Division on 6455 1802.

A recent inspection was made of the Maclaughlin River to survey the current river flow situation. Nimmitabel remains at Level 6 water restrictions due to the lack of river surface flows. Continuing hot

and dry weather conditions have caused surface flows to cease and have led to a declining storage level at the pumping pondage for Nimmitabel’s water supply.

Tears were mixed with excitement as 69 kindergarten students began their first day at Jindabyne Central School (JCS) on Monday. While most of the four and five-yearolds were thrilled to start their school journey, some parents were overcome with tears at the prospect of leaving their child for the first time in their short life. Parents received words of comfort from JCS relieving principal DebbieLee Hughes, who told them it was a milestone in their child’s life as their

youngsters took their first steps towards independence and interacted in new experiences. “The greatest gift you can give your child at this time is love, support and understanding,� Ms Hughes said. The JCS primary school leadership team of Rhiannon Warner, Josie Baff, Nick McLennan and Aiden Gibbs welcomed kindergarten parents at a “Tea and Tissues� morning tea and assured them the whole school community would embrace the newest

members of JCS JCS. Mum Rebecca Zigic confessed she had mixed emotions as her five-year-old daughter Zara struggled to contain her excitement about starting school. Mrs Zigic said while it was wonderful to see Zara’s joy at starting school she was sure she would miss her little girl. “I’m very excited for her,� Mrs Zigic said. “I just can’t believe I have a school child.�

Police are reminding parents and carers to keep safety at top of mind and ensure children ‘Play Safe, Stay Safe’ as they go back to school this week. Students have returned to primary and secondary schools across the state. NSW Police Operational Programs Commander, Chief Superintendent Brad Shepherd, is reminding the community of important safety tips and considerations to keep kids safe. “As our kids start their school year, it’s important for parents and carers to take simple safety precautions to avoid unnecessary accidents and help keep them out of danger,� Ch Supt Shepherd said. “Firstly, I remind motorists that school zones are now back in force on the state’s roads and urge everyone to take care when driving in suburban or built-up areas. Your child’s safety depends on you. Look out for buses, always park legally, even if you’re only stopping for a moment; avoid dangerous manoeuvres, such as u-turns and three-point turns; and always give way to pedestrians, particularly when entering or leaving a driveway. “When dropping off or picking up kids, it’s always best to do so on the school side of the road and encourage kids to exit the car on the kerb side. “It’s also important to check you are using the correct vehicle restraints. We see many children injured in car crashes where they are incorrectly restrained.� Ch Supt Shepherd added that children should be taught about road safety, especially before being allowed to walk or ride a bicycle home from school without an adult. “Young children need help to spot dangers when walking near the road and it is best to hold their hand for guidance until they are around eight years old. “If you practice safe pedestrian habits with young children, they will continue to use them when they are old enough to travel alone.�

“The ‘Safe People, Safe Places’ messages are part of ‘Keeping Me Safe’, a program that teaches kids simple strategies for their own personal safety,� Ch Supt Shepherd said. “If a child is going to be making their own way home, it’s important they feel safe to do so and that they know what they should and shouldn’t do. “As a parent, encourage your child to stay in touch as they make their way home, ensuring they have the right contact details; and teach them what to do in an emergency, whether on the way home or once they get home. “Finally, set firm rules about what they can and can’t do, this includes detours on their way home and general house rules, like answering the door or phone, using household appliances or swimming unsupervised. ‘Safe People, Safe Places’ messages with children, including; Make sure your parents or another adult you know knows where you are at all times. - Always walk straight home or to the place you are walking to. Walk near busier roads and streets, or use paths where there are lots of other people. - Know where safe places are – a shop, service station, police station, library or school. If you are ever frightened, you should go to one of these places and ask them to call the police. - Learn about safe adults you can look for and talk to if you need help – police officers, teachers at school, adults you know and trust. - Don’t talk to people you don’t know and never get into a car with someone you don’t know. If a car stops on the side of the road and you don’t know the person inside, do not stop. - If you are scared and can use a phone, call 000 and tell them you are scared. If someone tries to grab you, yell out, ‘Go away, I don’t know you’. This lets other people know you have been approached by someone you don’t know.

Good behaviour bond for firearm offence A 75-year-old Jindabyne woman has been placed on a two-year good behaviour bond after being found guilty of firing a firearm on enclosed premises. Barbara Mackenzie, of Lakewood Estate, Jindabyne, was accused of entering a neighbour’s property and discharging a rifle in retaliation to the neighbour’s dog attacking dogs she was walking. Two other charges relating to the incident were withdrawn. The charges were laid after the woman called police to advise what she had done. Police attended her home and interviewed her. They also inspected the injuries the dog had caused her and advised her to seek medical attention. They seized three firearms and her shooter’s licence. The incident happened after

two previous attacks on dogs she had been walking, by two German Shepherd dogs owned by her neighbour, Cameron Dredge. After the second attack, on June 15, 2013, Mr Dredge had called on her and advised her one of his dogs would be euthanased because of his aggressive nature. On June 20, when Ms Mackenzie was again walking the dogs, the aggressive dog again attacked her dogs, jumping a wire fence to do so. When she tried to pull the dog off her dog, it turned on her and bit her leg, causing several puncture wounds and bleeding. Another neighbour came to her assistance, pulling the aggressive dog off its victim and throwing it over the fence before securing the gate. Ms Mackenzie returned to her

property, picked up a .22 calibre Cooey rifle and walked to Mr Dredge’s property, where she shot what she thought was the dog which had attacked her. The dig did not die, and Mrs Mackenzie shot it a further four times before killing it. Then she returned home to report her actions to the police. The next day, Mr Dredge reported to Jindabyne police station, advising that the second dog had also been shot in the chest and had been inspected by a veterinary surgeon. Ms Mackenzie has been a wildlife carer for more than 20 years. She used the firearms in her possession to assist wildlife group LAOKO in euthanising injured animals.

Cooma Local Court decisions In Cooma Local Court on January 21, James Robert Barnett was sentenced to 16 months imprisonment, with six months nonparole on charges of an assault occasioning bodily harm and being in custody of a knife in a public place. Harold Henry Bridges was

sentenced to 100 hours community service on a charge of stalking, intimidating with the fear of physical, etc, harm. The charges related to an incident in Bombala Street on October 15, 21013. Darren Paul Brotherton was fined $600 and ordered to pay compensation of $1259.50 after

an incident outside Dodds Hotel on December 7. He was charged with resisting arrest, malicious damage and failing to leave licensed premises when ordered to do so. During the incident, he fell against an damaged a vehicle parked in the street.

Roll up for Cooma Show The 139th annual Cooma Show will be held on Saturday, March 8, 2014. The show’s major sponsor this year is Snowy Hydro Ltd. Television personality and former Cooma radio announcer, Steve Liebmann, is returning to Cooma to perform the opening ceremony at 12.30pm. He will also spend the day at the show, catching up on old friends and maybe sashing a few winners. The show has also secured Flickerfest for the 2014 show. This will screen on Friday night, at the Snowy Hydro Discovery Centre theatrette. The pavilion will be open from 6pm to 8pm for a preview of the pavilion exhibits. Once again the show is jam-packed with sheep, wool, cattle and horse exhibits.

The ground space steward has reported an increase in interest from a wide variety of exhibitors, from service groups, car dealerships, food outlets, emergency services groups plus others. Sideshow alley will be in full swing this year and the woodchop is set to get the crowd excited. There is good prize money available in the yard dog competition, courtesy of Westpac, Jindabyne. While the unpredictable Monaro weather has thrown a few challenges at local gardeners, the usual keen exhibitors are expected to have some impressive blooms and vegetables on show. For the kids, Toot the Clown will be offering special shows, plus circus play workshops. A talent quest will be held during the afternoon and on Saturday night, there will be a fireshow.

A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THE CREWS, VOLUNTEERS, FAMILY, FRIENDS AND NEIGHBOURS WHO HAVE ASSISTED US IN ANY WAY DURING THE RECENT BUSHFIRE EMERGENCY.

Meet the Drivers

Snowy River Shire Council is currently undertaking three major road work projects between the Alpine Way and Berridale, as well as between Abington Park and Berridale. Drivers should expect delays as they travel throughout these sections of the Shire. The road works

Go with Joe Joe was a former resident of Thredbo and has returned to settle in the Snowy River Shire after 24 years. Joe’s past experience includes but is not limited to ski resort operations and customer service. Joe also has many years experience with airport transport services. Having resided in areas where public transport options existed, Joe is aware that transport options and services for residents living in this area have been inadequate for some time. Joe stated that “in fact not much has changed since I first resided in the area some 30 years ago�. Joe is interested in contributing to the team to initiate and develop this much needed service. Passengers can expect an eagerness to not only meet but surpass passenger’s expectations from perspectives of safety, reliability and customer comfort. Leave with Steve Steve has lived and worked in the mountains for the last 18 years and has resided in Berridale for the past 14 years. Steve very much enjoys living in a friendly quiet village. Steve advises that he is a bit of a car nut and has been

a member of the Cooma Car Club since 2001 and he is currently the club Secretary. Steve owns a Leyland P76 which apparently draws many c o m m e n t s wherever he goes. Steve is married to Frances and they have four grown up children and two grandchildren with another grandchild due at the end of February. Steve decided after 39 years in the NSW Public Sector it was time for a change and this job is just the ticket as he loves to drive and interact with people. Being a member of Tourism Snowy Mountains Board the public transport issue was one that was always high on the list and one that Steve fully supported. Steve says that “it is now great to be a part of the actual project and have the opportunity to drive people to connect with the Canberra region�. Passengers can expect a friendly experience and Steve is always happy to have a chat.

Catch Karen if you can Karen has a long connection to the Bombala community. Her parents Graham and Di Hampshire have lived in Bombala for approximately 15 years and all extended family also reside here. Karen moved back to this region approximately a year ago with her young daughter. Karen has always involved herself with the public and wider community through her work roles. Karen has a long history of management in the retail sector and was responsible for organising many community events. One such event was establishing a knitting group to

make beanies and scarves for homeless people. Karen loves reading, spending time with family, craft and being a mum. Karen became interested in the Transconnect project as she wants to be able to get to know people in the community and to be involved in a project that will be highly beneficial to residents in the area of all ages. As Karen formerly resided in Dubbo she had access to many forms of public transport and said that transport services are dreadfully lacking in the Bombala Council area. Passengers can expect great conversation, a safe trip and excellent customer service.

History for sale If these walls could talk? The former hub is social activity in Nimmitabel for many years, the Nimmitabel pub is being auctioned, on site, this Sturday. The hotel is in need of some TLC and work was started on a new kitchen. This has since been halted but the base is there for a thriving country

pub. If you are after a tree change this could be it. Imagine owning a classic Aussie country pub at a very affordable price. The current licence is dormant but will be included with the sale. The land size is approx. 2000m2 or half an acre - this would allow for a number of ventures. The auction starts at 11am.

Fairy tales speak to the heart. They are the foundation stories that embody darkness and light, good and evil, and use magic to convey essential truths. In Once Upon a Time in Oz, Griffith REVIEW holds up an enchanted mirror to explore the role of fairy and folk tales across cultures in this country, and create new ones. How have the European tales transported in the nineteenth century affected Australian literature? What role do the legends of the Aboriginal Dreamtime, and the stories of Asia, South America, the Pacific and Africa, play in the Australian imagination? Is it wise to censor traditional stories for the good of children? How do the stories change, and why? Are fairy tales really only for children? Once Upon a Time in Oz presents new stories by renowned writers, and examines through essay and memoir some of the mysteries of storytelling. This edition features Carmel Bird as contributing editor.

The Property Industry unfortunately has a history of dodgy dealings, Hype, Over Inflated promises, sharks selling land that doesn’t exist or is a swamp. There is no doubt you need to be careful when purchasing property be it for principal place of residence or for investment purposes. Why? Because it still goes on but these days the internet has helped the shark find its prey. Before I reveal all the tricks and traps to avoid, I just want to say the number one way to avoid heartache, stress and financial loss is with education. You don’t know what you have not already learnt! I cannot emphasise enough do not purchase an investment property before you have gained the education, the inside knowledge to make astute educated decisions. You need know to what is the correct property model for you and why, what is your time frame to achieve the financial outcomes you need to replace your income, retire on your terms and give you a life of choice not chance. What is your personal Prosperity Plan? But when you take the step of investing in property and building a successful portfolio, guys you need to invest for maximum returns, not just to say you own an investment property and hopefully it works out for you! I mean maximum capital growth, cash flow and tax benefits. Once you know how, what and when you must carry out thorough research and due diligence, this is crucial to avoid mistakes and to gain maximum returns. When purchasing make sure you are buying a quality built property as this can mean the difference between a set and forget strategy allowing you to duplicate. Compared to a poor quality property which could be a stressful, and financial burden with hidden pitfalls that kill your cash flow. This is why I only by new quality properties. Now heres 5 Tricks and Traps to avoid, there is many many more but it’s a start:1) The internet is full of misleading information, false advertising, hyped returns, pictures that falsely present a property. 2) Turn key property – where actually the price is only to lock up stage. 3) Sales Offices projected growth and return 4) Magazine editorials are often just sales pitches and the location they recommend it is normally too late to invest there. 5) Companies flying you to a destination – don’t do it, it’s a pressure sales pitch and a waste of your time. If you would like to know all the mistakes and traps to avoid I am happy to help you. If you would like to learn more about property investment visit Prosperitypropertyadvisors.com.au

Schute Bell wool report After last week’s solid showing the market got gang tackled by the largest weekly gain in the Aussie dollar against the US in well over 12 months, combined with an expected offering next week of nearly 57,000 bales. If they all turn up it will make it the largest offering of the season to date. Most of the falls were registered on the first day of sales with the final day showing some encouraging pockets of resistance. This week was a designated superfine sale in Sydney with AWEX reporting some large price differentials between Best style types compared to those with imperfections of up to 200 cents clean. 37,618 bales were sold nationally for the week with a passed in rate of 16.3%. Major buyers included Chinatex, New England Wool & Tianyu with the traditional superfine buyers operating strongly on the Sydney offering. AWTA test data for January shows the weight of wool tested nationally still in decline with the season to date now

down 2.7%. WA is the only state showing an increase in production. Things could get a little bumpy until the currency and quantities on offer both stabilise. This week’s sales 56,910 bales are expected to be on offer nationally with 11,274 of these in Sydney. Schute Bell, Wool Auctions, Goddard & Monaro Wool are selling on Wednesday 12th Feb.

This year the cattle section was yet again a great success with eight stud entrants, although the weather and local conditions had a large effect on numbers, we still had a great day with plenty of bystanders watching some of the best stud stock the Monaro has to offer. The judge this year was local Kydrabah stud owner Howard Charles who thankfully filled the gap for a judge this year. Although smaller numbers, the standard that was presented in the ring was exceptional the ribbons were handed out as below: C h a m p i o n Female Of Show – Limousin – Marida Honey, Exhibited by Narooma High School Reserve Champion Female – Limousin – Kia Ora Honey, Exhibited By Narooma High School Champion Bull Of Show – Santa

Gertrudis-Nungar Plain Jasper, Exhibited By W & J Crowe , Reserve Champion Bull – Santa Gertrudis-Nungar Plain CJ, Exhibited By W & J Crowe Supreme Stud Beast Of Show Limousin – Marida Honey, Exhibited by Narooma High School But without the exhibitors and the sponsors we could not have had the success that we had, so I wish to thank all the exhibitors, Rosskin Angus, Nungar Plain Santa Gertrudis, and our coastal studs Marida and Kia ora Limousins exhibited by Narooma High School. To all the sponsors thank you, Cooma Rural Supplies, South East Rural, Bollar & Co, Landmark, The Monaro Post, Kylo Herefords, Nungar Plain Santa Gertrudis Stud, Monaro Cattle Scanning Service and Monbeef.

Our aim is to breed long bodied, well-muscled and structurally sound rams with excellent temperaments. All of our sheep are paddock reared so that they are in sound joining condition for our clients. They are very quiet natured and are easy to work with. Saree Border Leicester Rams are Brucellosis accredited and routinely drenched and vaccinated. In 2013 we attended the local shows for the first time with a team of four ram lambs. We were excited with

Riposte Lisa Ashurst

It’s funny how things go full circle, like with the powers-that-be now having no choice but to face the fallout from the decades of social engineering that granted children far more rights and options than they ever had the maturity to contend with while restricting the rights of parents, teachers and other authority figures to set boundaries or curb totally unacceptable behaviour. The result of all this meddling is the growing number of self-centred, rude, indifferent and in many cases, feral young being inflicted on our schools and society today. Sure, society evolves, but ripping out core values that have withstood the test of time to replace them with some fool government department’s experimental BS is just plain irresponsible. Whatever happened to “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it�? Seriously, it wasn’t “broke�! But anyway... Those who were not brainwashed by that damaging flood of political correctness (responsible parents, level-headed teachers and freethinkers in general) were driven up the wall by all the nonsense but it proved to be a boom time for parents who opted not to discipline their children. It also handed them plenty of options when it came to who/ what was responsible (it was never

27

Claire’s Carousel their fault) for their child’s obnoxious behaviour, but when the general excuses began to wear thin there was the added bonus of a doctor who could hand them a new one in the form of a “disorder�. Fortunately these “disorders� have also come under the spotlight lately and people are even daring to comment out loud that child discipline is not only necessary but also every parent’s responsibility and therefore should definitely begin at home, thus putting the onus back onto parents where it belongs. Hence the full circle. Okay then, let’s start off on the right foot by bringing back the word “No� and reinstating it right across the board. Despite what the cotton wool brigade would have you believe, children can cope with this word. They don’t like it but they get over it with no lasting damage. Ditto a swift smack in the right place when necessary and yes there are times when it is! Neither of these actions will result in children clocking up hours on the analyst’s couch somewhere down the track but they will go a long way towards raising children who are more teachable and manageable in the classroom who then go on to become decent members of society in general, so I fail to see how setting boundaries and calling children to account when they cross the line is a bad thing. It isn’t, and it never was.

CHIT CHAT FROM U3A The computing class began on Tuesday January 28, and there is still time to join in. Please phone 64523112 to book your place.

Cherry Bomb weekend

This coming weekend, February 15 and 16 from 9am onwards, Cooma locals should prepare themselves for some heart stopping speedy action to take over Mount Gladstone. The Cherry Bomb Gravity Festival will entice lugers and speed trike riders from all corners of Australia to our region to compete in what is the only legal road race left in the country. “We want to grow the event, we want to have more participants and more spectators than we have had before,� said Tim Gordon, event organiser and Berridale local. Though the day will be an impressive display of professional lugers and their abilities, there is plenty of room for first-timers to participate and explore the endorphin rush of luging. “Our festival is all about firsts, we want first timers to explore gravity sports and for $50 they get leathers, a board and coaching,� explained Tim. There are eight places left for locals to enjoy this experience in a highly sterile and safe environment under the instruction of professionals, the sport is illegal on roads and so it is really quite a rare opportunity. Spectators can enjoy the festival for free and there are busses provided for convenience that not only ensure all on-lookers are given access to the best viewing locations, but their safety and the safety of the lugers are also considered throughout the event.

Jindabyne heads Monaro cricket table Round three of the Cooma McDonalds two-day cricket competition was completed in warm conditions on Saturday. Round three summary Dalgety picked up maximum points in defeating the Cooma Cats in an outright victory. Eddie Hogan (pcitured below) continues to impress with the bat, scoring 118 and Matt Crowley took five wickets. Berridale scored first innings points, holding back a spirited Coffeys fightback in the second innings- J Moxon top scoring with 42, Andy Bartell picking up four wickets. Coffeys set Berridale 158 from 39 overs with Berridale finishing the day at 7/107, J Riley scoring 42 not out and Mark Williams bagging four wickets. Jindabyne 207, with 180 Chad Stevens top scoring with 74, came away with a first innings win with Alpine all out 146. Next week sees the top of the table clash between Jindabyne and Berridale, Coffeys host Dalgety whose late season form is seeing them in a real battle with the Alpine to grab that last semi final spot. The Cats, desperate to get off the bottom of the table, take on the Alpine who are really needing a win to fortify their position in the top four.

The table has Jindabyne on top with 50 points, Berridale 40, Coffeys 38, Alpine 32, Dalgety 27 and Cats 15.

LUTION

Coffeys V Berridale match report. Day two began with J Moxon (42) and J Nichols (17) getting a solid start with the help of some terrible fielding from Berridale. The pair put on 63 before J Riley had J Nichols caught behind. A Bartell (4/22) was introduced into the attack and the change of bowling bought a rush of wickets as A Bartell took three wickets in his first over. With Coffeys floundering at 7/107

and with a small 80 run lead an outright victory was looking a big possibility. The Coffeys tail showed some solid resistance as the Berridale bowlers started to run out of steam in the trying conditions. A Moon (34*) led the fightback and put Coffeys into a position where an unlikley outright victory would be a chance. Coffeys M Introna declared the innings closed at 9/176 setting Berridale a tough chase of 158 from 39 overs on a wearing wicket. Some good tight bowling from S Summerville (0-5) and L Schofield (1-7) put a halt to Berridale chasing outright points and Berridale went into survival mode. The change in tactics bought on the slow bowlers and the fielders bought into more attacking positions. M Introna (2/18) and M Williams (4/64) bowled well in tandem as the slow bowling from M Introna and off spinners from M Williams seemed to get a bit more out of the wearing Rotary deck. The Berridale middle order failed to come to terms with the lack of pace from Introna and varying bounce and turn from Williams as several soft catches were spooned to the close in fielders. At 6/48 and still a minimum of 11 overs left in the day’s play Coffeys were right in the hunt for an outright victory but a handy knock from J Riley (41*) who took full advantage of the attacking fielders, played some attacking shots and with the help of some poor catching from the Coffeys side, took the game away from the plucky Coffeys outfit. Berridale finished the day at 7/107.

Flowing Festival It’s only two short weeks out from the ninth annual Lake Jindabyne Flowing Festival and the event is set to be even bigger than previous years. This favourite community event is run by the Lake Jindabyne Snow Dragons in conjunction with Dragon Boats NSW and is the perfect way to get out and enjoy some great times at picturesque Banjo Paterson Park. Once again the lake will be a site of fevered competition, starting with the 2km Twilight race for the sports teams making its return on the Saturday night between 5 and 7pm. The main event however will be the ninth annual Lake Jindabyne Dragonboat Challenge on Sunday the 16th, once again involving dozens of sports teams, local community and corporate teams as well as school teams. This year the community races set to be spiced up with the addition of the High Country Fitness, Fitness

Challenge: are you up for it? The Flowing Festival has always been about more than just dragon boat racing. Once again Banjo Paterson Park will host an evening picnic, starting at 6pm on Saturday, accompanied by a variety of excellent local artists including the local bands Sibling Rivalry, The Jukes and The Heretics as well as Jindy Idol winners Maddie Davies and James Richards. For those not competing on Sunday there will be a variety of food and market stalls from 8.30am4pm. And of course who could forget the rides! This is also reminder to all corporate and community dragon boat teams to get your teams together. Final registration and practice will be occurring on Saturday the 15th from 2pm and you do not want to miss out on the fun. Hope to see everyone down there and BE PREPARED TO GET WET!

Cooma ladies golf results On Wednesday February 5, in cool conditions, the fifth round of the Sisters Trophy was played. We had a good field of 15 players. The winner was Dorothy Bilbow with 18 points on a countback from Madge Butler who received the runner up voucher. Balls were won by Marilynne Weston 17 points, Lyn Last 16 points, Aileen Smith 16 points, and Gaye Wilson on a countback from Clare Nowland, Rulie Steinfort and Maureen Fletcher all with 15 points. Nearest the pin was won by Lyn Last on the fourth hole. It was good to see Joan Bracher back on the fairways after her holiday.

Saturday February 8 was the last round of the Summer Cup. The day’s competition was won by Rulie Steinfort with 18 points on a countback from Gaye Wilson. Gaye took the first ball and Clare Nowland took the second ball with 17 points. Gaye also won the NTP ball with a super shot to the fourth hole. Our congratulations go to Rulie Steinfort who was the winner of the 2014 Summer Cup. Rulie had 78 points. On Sunday February 9, the fifth round of the Marion Burke Trophy was won by Gaye Wilson with a great score of 41 points Marion Burke won a ball with 35 points.

Cooma Rifle Club Last Saturday morning was hot, fine and a bit windy but some scores were achieved from 400 yards. Jas Friedricks rifle wasn’t properly zeroed and, due to a failure of a walkie-talkie, the marker couldn’t tell him where the shots were going. We’ll get all this straightened out next Saturday, as Jas can shot quite quell. Graeme Crundwell’s eyes have just about given up but he wants to try a

scoped rifle instead of iron sights so that he can continue shooting. The scores were: Damien Doyle: 48-5 and 47-3, total 95-8 Frank Tooth: 47-0 and 43-2, total 90-2 Brent Cain: 47-2 single stage only. Next week shooting will be from 500 yards with the bench available so we expect more shooters.

Invitational pairs bowls carnival The Cooma Ex-Services Club sponsored Invitational Pairs was concluded at Cooma Bowling Club on Thursday and Friday February 5 and 6, with 48 players from Bega, Tura Beach, Merimbula, Moama, Bombala as well as local clubs, Cooma, Jindabyne and Adaminaby. Three game winners on day one were all from Cooma. They were P Marsicano/G Venables, S Seears/ G Cox and M Storta/W Lodge. All three pairs won their first match on day two, which set up an interesting situation, with tow of these pitted against each other. Peter Marsicano and Geoff Venables defeating Mel Storta and Wayne Lodge in their match and Steeve Seears and Gordon Cox losing their match it altered the scene very much. The final placings were, Mariscano/Venables first, Buckley/ Caldwell second, R Wallis/E Dean (Tura Beach) third, R Cock/A Blacka (Bega) fourth, S Seears/G Cox fifth and M Storta/W Lodge sixth. Best wins on the final day who were not prize winners, N McGregor/P Schroeder win +17, B Rusling/D Pope (Tura Beach) win +16. At the conclusion of play event organiser, Mark Buckley, thanked all who helped with the day and made it a success. Thanks to you too Mark. On Saturday afternoon February 8 the semifinals of the club major pairs were completed with Neill McGregor/Peter Schroeder against Tom Reed/ John Schoon in one and Brian Seears/Paul Schulz against Peter Marsicano/Peter Caldwell. The two Peters never really got going against Brian and Paul with the latter winning 13 of the 18 ends played for a winning score of 28/8. In the other semi it was a similar story with Neil and Peter dominating against Tom Reed and John Schoon in winning 15 of the 20 ends played for a winning score 23/11. Three major singles were also completed on Saturday with similar results to the pairs. A very fast green was probably a contributing factor. John Vincent made a great start against Steve Lapham to lead 14/6 after 13 ends. John kept up the pressure and ran out winner 31/10. Geoff Venables continued on his winning way from the invitational pairs in his match with Ignazio Mondello in handling the fast green better to win 31/6. Mike Mannille had a small lead 13/11 after 13 ends. This proved an unlucky number for Mike as he was held on it for seven ends whilst Mario Frezza went to the lead 20/13 and he continued to outscore Mike and win 31/19. District singles played at Cooma last Sunday with the following results. In state singles Steve Jackson forfeited to Dave Pastro, whilst Max Reeve forfeited to Paul Cannell in senior singles. In state singles Tom Reed and Steve Harriden had 15 one shot ends in the first 16 ends with Tom

holding a one shot advantage. At that point he gradually pulled ahead and eventually won 31/19. John Schoon got an early break on Graham Clarke to lead 21/1 after seven ends and went on tow in 31/16. In senior singles, Terry Croker and Colin Peuker had a close match for the first 12 ends with Colin holding a 13/11 lead. Six ends for 13 shots to Terry put him in a winning position but Colin made him earn every shot on his way to a 31/23 win. The remaining match for the day in senior singles was that between Neil McGregor and Sergio Roncelli. Whilst Neil had the better of the early stages he was unable to set up a commanding lead and Sergio drew level on end 32 with the score 22/22. From that point on it developed into a real arm wrestle with Sergio holding game on two occasions only to see Neil pull off great saving shots. Sergio finally won 31/28 after 42 ends of great draw bowls. Next Saturday morning the following watches will take place; markers are listed in brackets. Mens senior singles, S Roncelli v M Mayhew (N McGregor), T Crocker v D McDonald (C Peuker), P Cannell v L Whitehead (M Reeve), V Weston v G D’Amico (T Reed), J Vincent v J Sajina (P Harriss), N Wallace v M Frezza (D Steinfort), I Mondello v R Wainwright (T.B.A). In state reserve singles, G Venables v P Caldwell (K Goodwin), K Weston v S Seears (M Buckley) and P Marsicano v G Griffen (P Schroeder). Due to the Povey Green not yet fully returned to play and district singles commitments there will not be green space for social play on Saturday February 15 and Saturday February 22. Sundays are available as per usual. Pictured, Cooma Ex-Service’s Club secretarymanager Kade Morrell with winners Geoff Venables and Peter Marsicano.

Chris Anthony to make his formula three debut Young local formula four racing car driver, Chris Anthony, has taken a huge step into the formula three racing world, joining the BRM South Australian team to compete in the Clipsal 500 in Adelaide toward the end of this month. Chris, who is only 18, has shown outstanding potential in his formula four career and this opportunity is a chance for him to get his foot in the door for what he hopes could be his path to formula one racing. “It’s a huge opportunity, massive,” said Chris’s father Tony. “It’s a big, big step, one that we are hoping will lead Chris overseas,” he explained. Chris, who has just finished school, would like to make a living out of his driving career and could not be more excited for this opportunity that has arisen – it is particularly hard to believe that he has only been competing for one year! “He drove go-carts for five years beforehand,”

explained Tony, making Chris’s success only seem more substantial. This enormous opportunity does not come free, however, and the Anthony family really need the support of the local community in order to allow their son a chance at the career he desires. Chris will fly to Adelaide to compete and in order to raise enough funds to support his dream Cooma Betta Home Living are holding a sausage sizzle fundraiser this Saturday at 10:30 am in front of their store in Sharp Street. The event will boast Chris’s Formula Four car on display, along with some other racecars, old touring cars and some classic cars from the Cooma Car Club. Betta Home Living will also be having a big sale on during the day and a donation bucket will be on hand to collect money to help support Chris. Tony Anthony has also said that private donations are also welcome, “Even fifty cents helps!” He said.

Last Tuesday night saw the opening round of the Cooma Squash A Grade Autumn Comp. The new 6 teams of 6 players format was fully subscribed and saw many players rankling at their new-found gradings and keen to prove the graders wrong. The return of Andrew Nowland to Cooma after more than a decade spiced up the A1 which has been dominated by Corey Bedingfield and the Bolton Twins in his absence. The A3 match between Craig Wheatley (Mark Kenmir & Co) and Braden Skinner (Hillross) attracted plenty of interest. Skinner , returning from a long period of injury enforced absence looked set for a walkover based on prior form. Wheatley surprised, taking the first game 9-6 while Skinner was getting his bearings. Skinner retaliated with a 9 -3 drubbing in the second setting up a tight 3rd game. Wheatley took a handy lead in game 3 with his usual selection of unorthodox reverse boasts and unanticipated drives before Skinner rounded him up to take the game 9-5 after playing a disciplined game of deep drives. Game 4 looked to swing the other way with Wheatley again taking an early lead only to before Skinner’s tactical experience stole the match with a 9-6 finish. The final result of 3-1 to Skinner didn’t reflect the intense competition on the court. B grade has got off to a flying start with 9 teams of 4 players. It was great to see new faces at the courts – particularly younger players Aaron Pottage, Dane Freimanis and Abby Freimanis. Will be interesting to see if Dane and Abby follow in the footsteps of their father and grandfather, some of the best players Cooma has seen. Ged Mackay came out with all guns blazing against Larry Maat and won the first, but Larry’s fitness won out and took the next three games. Tony Sergo rejoined the comp after a long absence but proved he is a force to be reckoned with by only conceding 10 points to up-and-coming young player Tim Wassink. The Christmas break proved too much for husband and wife Alex and Leanne Corby. They each went down 3-0 to David Hogan and fiery Jason Harris conceding 12 points and 13 points respectively. However everyone will get into their stride as the comp continues. An interesting match was held between Darcy Clayton and Eloise Blanchard – another two of our ever-improving juniors. Darcy took the first two games 9-2,9-4 but Eloise went into overdrive and won the next three 9-5,9-5,9-6 to win the match. Was great to see Narelle Rosewarne back with us but she has not hit her straps yet and found the going tough against Sue Walters, going down in three.

Cooma Stallions jumper sponsors decided

Cooma Stallions Football Club held their sponsors night last Friday, where the jumpers numbers were allocated to each sponsor. Pictured above, the white boards displaying reserve and first grade jumper sponsors.

Mark Kelly claims summer Rovers development camp Cooma Golf report by Garry Atkinson With 89 golfers participating in the Summer Cup Mark Kelly came out on top with his best 3 rounds of 40, 43 and 35 totalling 118. Second was Wayne Ryan (113) with Jeff Burgess coming in third with 111. All in all the Summer Cup saw some pretty high scoring golf. With the short course championships on in a couple of weeks, the daylight saving nine-hole comp on Wednesday afternoons, junior golf on Sunday from 2pm and our normal competition days the golf schedule for members is only gaining pace over February. So what happened last week on the course… On Saturday, 36 players hit off in a single stableford medley. In A grade Dave Goggin won the day with 37 points. B grade saw Jeff Burgess amass 38 points. C grade was won by Bill Dyball with a round of the day 39 points. Ball winners went down to 35 points. Nearest the pin on the ninth was won by Wayne Ryan. Chris Brown won the 17th with a great shot. Longest drives went to Bart Joseph in A grade, Gary Batten (B grade) and Bill Dyball in C grade. Sunday saw a lovely day with 20 members playing an individual

stableford medley. The winner was Richard Hanna with 41 points on a countback from George Froeschl (both gentlemen had the round of the day). Nearest the pin on the ninth was Chris Brown. The 17th was taken out by Mal Barnes. On Wednesday 29 players competed in three grades for the top prizes with A grade being won by Campbell Childs with 34 points. B grade was taken out by Tony Monday with 35 points and C grade was won by Egils Freimanis with 30 points. Ball winners went down to 31 points. Nearest the pin on the 17th was won by Tony Mitchell. Next week sees individual stableford medleys on all three competition days. Of course there is the daylight saving comp. on every Wednesday afternoon. You can hit off up until around 5:30pm with dinner provided it’s a great way to get over hump day. Junior golf is on this Sunday afternoon. Members are asked to lend a hand if they can, to encourage our young golfers. There are also beginner clinics on at the same time for any new golfers who wish to improve their swing. See you on the greens.

In approximately 1965 the Rovers Club purchased a house from the Snowy Mountains Authority and transported it to Cooma where they rebuilt it in Betts Street for the purpose of housing a coach. When the Rovers became the Alpine Wanderers in 1970 the house was placed in the hands of a trust to be used for the development of junior rugby league in the area. It is still being used for this purpose today, 38 years later, and the present trustees include Chippy Boller, Chris Mould and Mick Schofield. Today the trust continues to support junior Rugby League by helping clubs purchase jumpers or trophies and by donating money to the Harry Nicholls Shield each year. We would like to thank the following sponsors, without their support the Cooma Rovers Development Camp wouldn’t have been

able to be provided FREE to the participates. Cooma Rovers, Woolworths, Coles, Melray Meats, Monaro Milk and Juice, Cooma’s Original Hot Bake, Cooma Colts, Cooma Stallions, Australian Hotel Bistro and Franks Butchery. Retired Canberra Raiders Captain, Alan Tongue will be leading a training session during Session 1 on Saturday February 22. Also in attendance will be Cooma Stallions first grade captain/ coach Steve Dunn, plus first grade player Todd Williams and retired Cooma Stallions player Ty Fallins. The 2012 South Coast Academy Representatives Zane Weston, Joel Smith and Blayne Thomas will also be attending. Session one commences at 8.45am on Saturday February 22 at Cooma Showground.
