Girder Fork Rally

Cooma was the venue of the annual Girder Fork Rally last weekend. A total of 47 vintage and veteran motor-cycles, all with the distinctive girder fork construction took part in a rally to Berridale and on to Old Adaminaby before a presentation night on Saturday. The oldest bike was a 1914 Douglas 3 1/2hp which was restored by Kevin Boardman of Camden (pictured at right). Another classic was a 1918 Regnis, complete with wicker side car, restored and owned by Bernie Medway (centre). The rally was started by Cooma-Monaro Shire councillor Rogan Corbett (left) after breakfast at the Car Club in Bolaro Street.

The University of Canberra College (UCC) in partnership with the University of Canberra delivered the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE40110) as part of a regional pathways project to community personnel from three shires including Cooma Monaro, Snowy River and Bombala.

This program was developed through extensive stakeholder engagement with members of the Monaro Regional Interagency led by the Cooma-Monaro Shire Council and a range of community groups from across the Monaro, Bombala and Snowy River regions.

It was primarily funded by the Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations as a project aimed at providing ‘Pathways to enhance regional participation in Higher Education’.

The 15 applicants enrolled in the 12-week program were selected on the basis of their involvement in community development or community services work and their potential

to promote ongoing training and mentoring in the region.

Geographic isolation of participants was reduced because the program was delivered in the region, workplace sponsorship and the provision of local learning support raised success rates.

Successful participants of this program have achieved a nationally recognised qualification and have developed academic and presentation skills that will support ongoing workplace development and advancement.

This program has strengthened the relationship between the University of Canberra College, the University of Canberra and the three shires, with a number of communitybased initiatives being developed for delivery in the future including the Certificate II in Active Volunteering (CHC20212).

A ceremony to celebrate the achievements of the program participants will be held in the Cooma library at 10:30am on Friday 19th October 2012.

Facilitation of Training and Assessment

The University of Canberra College, Professional Education and Training, is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) that provides genuine learning experiences with nationally recognised qualifications in Vocational Education and Training (VET).

The UCC is located on the University of Canberra campus in Bruce ACT. TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is a nationally recognised qualification, and is the foundation for all training in the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector.

VET Training Packages are industry endorsed units of competency and qualifications in a wide range of fields including Community Services, Hospitality, Child Care and Frontline Management to name a few.

Any person who delivers and/ or assesses nationally recognised training in these fields must have the qualification and expertise in the field they are delivering as well as the TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment.

Jacqui Retford, the Training and Assessment Facilitator at UCC travelled to Cooma each week of the 12week program to deliver the training in the 76 Commissioner Street Cooma Library Friday 26th October – Tuesday 30th October 2012 meeting room for CLOSED Thursday, Monday & Wednesday. workshops on Training Design, Delivery and

Assessment.

In addition, participants were expected to complete four major assessment tasks throughout the program and gather evidence demonstrating their skills, knowledge and experience in the units of competency.

This was a heavy workload as the participants still maintained their usual work and family commitments during this period.

By the end of this program, participants developed extensive skills and knowledge in the field of training delivery and assessment, a strong camaraderie and valuable community networks.

Some testimonials from program participants: “The course has given me practical skills and also inspiration – a path forward. The course has revealed the world of VET and adult learning, and a greater understanding of how we can build training opportunities locally” “I feel honoured to have had this opportunity and thankful to the University of Canberra College for realising the potential of this course for this community and for making it so accessible” “I wanted to do this course so I can better support the young people I work with to achieve their goals.”

“The TAE40110 course gave me the skills and confidence to help train and develop new training courses for people from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds to fulfil their dreams.”

Ensemble’s first MCCR donates to Cooma Crew ride concert The Snowy Mountains Ensemble will hold their first concert in Cooma on Saturday October 27 at 7pm at the Ex-services Club.

The ensemble consists of approximately 20 players, and they are conducted by Rodney Clancy.

The ensemble was formed several years ago by combining existing adult and youth ensembles who were both struggling as independent entities but by combining have become a musical force within the community.

There is a wide mix of ages starting from about 12 years of age to 70ish.

Our players are of all different skill levels and experience, but everyone works together to put on a great performance that both audience and players can enjoy.

Earlier this year the ensemble featured in the community production of Gilbert and Sullivan Extravaganza.

Saturday night’s concert will feature Spring and Autumn from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, Memory from Andrew LloydWebber’s Cats, Jupiter from Holst’s Planets Suite and other Classical favourites.

Also joining the ensemble on the night will be violin soloist Jessie Regan from the Canberra Symphony Orchestra, and other guest players from Cooma and Sydney.

Tickets are available at the Fabric Salon (Vale Street) or at the door before the concert.

Child/Student $5, Senior/Concession $15 and Adult $20.

Come along for an enjoyable night of classical music!

SRSC news with Joe Vescio I’m proud to announce Council’s annual Health & Safety Day is on again and is scheduled for Wednesday 7 November 2012. This is an initiative started by Council and has proven very popular over the last few years.

The very popular free skin cancer screenings will he held again, with a limited number of appointments available for staff.

New for 2012 will be the ‘Crookback Clinic’ which is a seminar for people who want to protect themselves from muscular-skeletal dysfunction and/or restore poor function to good function. It is an essential for people with crook backs, stiff necks, frozen shoulders and sore arms.

Also available are seminars on worklife balance and general well being.

They are targeted at people who want to make improvements to their lifestyle and get a better balance

MCCR president Sandy Schofield presents a cheque for $5000 to the Cooma Crew, Kathy Manthey, Jack Nott, Dianne Nott, Andrew Manthey, Dale and Brian Coyte last Sunday.

On Sunday October 21 president of the Monaro Committee for Cancer Research (MCCR), Sandy Schofield, donated $5000 on behalf of the MCCR to the Cooma Crew who are raising funds for the Steven Walter Children’s Cancer Foundation (SWCCF) by participating in the Around Australia Ride in 2013.

Over the past 12 years, the foundation has had a strong

commitment to raising funds for much needed and vital cancer research, supporting the provision of a full range of clinical services to patients, tertiary care and health promotion and prevention programs for children and adolescents. MCCR have had a close association with the SWCCF for some years and feel the two groups have the same aim and goal – a cure for cancer.

For every 10 children diagnosed with

cancer, three do not survive and here in Australia, that translates to three children losing their lives to cancer every week.

All monies raised through the Around Australia Ride will go directly to an experimental therapy for childhood brain tumours which will be conducted in three stages. The estimated cost of Stage 1 is $150,000.

Cooma CWA meeting was held on October 8, following the AGM of the branch.

President Barbara Scanes welcomed a good attendance of members and asked for special thoughts to be given to those less fortunate than ourselves.

Top honours to Snow FM’s Josie SNOW FM has woin a major Commercial Radio Award.

Josie Fitt who is part of the Brekky Crew on Snow FM picked up the award for best Music Director Country.

Apart from being part of the morning crew Josie is responsible for all the music that is played on Snow

FM. Josie travelled to Sydney with a number of the staff to attend the presentation.

She was overjoyed when her name was called out as the winner. It is quite an achievement as there were entrants in this category from country radio stations from all over Australia

There has been significant discussion in the business and general community as to the future economic development of Cooma and the region. In particular, debate has focused on the professional process council is undertaking to achieve a balance between quality of life, sustainable development and conservation of our environment in line with the State Government's planning guidelines and Strategic Community Plans identified by the community earlier this year.

The mayor, Cr Dean Lynch, is encouraging all residents to look at the report, which will be on display at the Cooma-Monaro Shire Council offices in Commissioner Street, the Monaro Regional Library and the Cooma Visitors’ Centre as well as on council’s website.

“This plan, when adopted, will set the direction for upgrading the centre of Cooma over the next few years and I would like to see as many residents as possible comment on it,” he said.

“It is only with input from the community that council is able to produce plans that reflect local opinion.”

Public submissions will be accepted until Thursday 15 November 2012, following which the plan and comments will be considered at the regular December 2012 meeting of Cooma-Monaro Shire Council.

If you require further information, please contact Pat Booker on (02) 6455 1801.

What Graffiti?: Mural Completed in Jindabyne After eight days of hard work and only a few weather delays, Ben Eyles and a team of 33 young people completed the CASP-funded What Graffiti? mural project on Jindabyne’s Mitre 10 building.

The pop-art inspired piece features hundreds of characters from history, literature, film, and video games. Each series of faces emerged from the

imagination of Eyles and local young Wales and Snowy River Shire Council, people, with truly stunning results. and through the generous donation of

Snowy River Shire Council would like to thank everyone that worked on the project, particularly Mr. Eyles and the young people that worked so hard to beautify Jindabyne.

What Graffiti? was funded by a Country Arts Support Program (CASP) grant through Regional Arts New South

Snowy River Alliance to host internationally renowned ecologist Dr Alec Costin, an ecologist with more than 50 years experience in research and management of alpine ecosystems, will be guest speaker at Snowy River Alliance’s Annual General Meeting in Jindabyne Memorial Hall on Sunday.

Dr Costin studied science at Sydney University and in his honours year began studying the ecology of the Australian Alps at a time when very little was known of the mountain ecosystems.

In the late 1940’s he established a soil conservation research station at Cooma to undertake research on the high mountain catchments including Mt Kosciuszko, the source of the Snowy River. Later he worked in

the CSIRO Division of Plant Research as head of the Alpine Ecology Unit. Over his long working life Dr Costin (now retired) developed an incomparable knowledge of the interrelationship of water, soil and vegetation of the Snowy Mountains, including the ecological impacts of high country grazing and the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme. Dr Costin’s presentation will be on the future of the Snowy River and Catchments and Snowy River stories.

into effect in 2002, some progress has been made on returning environmental flows to the Snowy River below Jindabyne Dam. The river has also benefited greatly from the last two years of especially good rains.

However there is still much work to be done to ensure that Snowy River is restored to ecological health: this year’s allocation is approximately half the minimum environmental flow of 28 percent that the Commonwealth and Victoria and NSW Governments agreed to return to the Snowy; no environmental

flows have been returned to the Upper Snowy above Jindabyne Dam; the Mowamba River which could provide a surrogate natural headwaters for the Snowy has been re-diverted back into Jindabyne Dam; and the NSW Government has failed to re-establish the pivotal independent Snowy Scientific Committee.

Anyone interested to become involved in the continuing campaign to save the Snowy River please come along on Sunday October 28 to Jindabyne Memorial Hall at 2pm to hear Dr Costin’s talk and catch up with Snowy River Alliance members for further information on the current state of the Snowy River.

As a key strategic outcome from these plans, council’s objective is clearly to encourage and facilitate population and enterprise growth in the local and regional economy by developing and maintaining Cooma as a regional centre of high-level sustainable economic, social, environmental and community activity.

Council will achieve this objective by providing economic and social development leadership with a variety of stakeholders through consultation, facilitation and the co-ordination of council’s strategic service delivery plans.

For example, as a starting point, a strategic economic provider/driver involves consideration in the areas of land-use planning and improving desired infrastructure provisions and economic strengths of local resources.

Currently, the draft Local Environmental Plan (LEP) is the principal legal instrument for addressing such land-use planning decisions. In this context, the LEP allows council to effectively and professionally manage the ways in which land may be used through zoning and developmental controls to achieve desired community outcomes.

The draft LEP has been on exhibition now for several weeks and council wants to know whether your concerns have been adequately addressed to reflect the strategic future direction of the Cooma-Monaro Shire.

I call upon not only community members to assist council in these matters but the professionals involved with economic development concepts, such as surveyors, land brokers, real estate agents, lawyers and others that provide the backbone to land-use planning and development in our shire.

A series of public meetings designed to address areas of concerns about your property and land areas for development across the Cooma-Monaro Shire is being provided to assist in establishing desired long-term community-based economic development strategies involving opportunities and capabilities.

If you are interested in the future of Cooma and your shire, your input is vital in providing a clear expression of the desired character and sustainable development of Cooma, its villages and rural areas.

Your input will form the foundation of future economic and social development. A list of public meeting times and venues can be obtained from council's Communiqué Page and council's website.

The draft LEP can be viewed at council's office between the hours of 8.35am and 4.45pm Monday to Friday; the Monaro Regional library between the hours of 9.30am and 5.00pm Monday to Friday and 9.30am to 1.00pm on Saturday.

The LEP maps and supporting documentation can also be viewed on council's website at www.cooma.nsw.gov.au. Submissions can be made in writing to council or via e-mail to council@cooma.nsw.gov.au. All submissions must be received by COB. Friday, 15 December 2012.

Post & Rail

8 the

postman calls

There was a fair bit of popping and wheezing and clanging and banging going on around the place last weekend.

Not, it wasn’t The Postman mowing his lawn (although the sounds were very similar) it was the annual Girder Fork rally.

More than 40 old (back to 1914) motor cycles were in Cooma to celebrate the joys of riding cycles with no or very little, shock absorption.

The riders, some of them almost vintage themselves, enjoyed a rally around the Monaro and back for a presentation dinner on Saturday night.

The oldest bike, a 1914 Douglas, had a top speed of 75khp, a knuckle-whitening pace considering the limited braking capacity.

The Postman was a tad embarrassed, however, by the behaviour of some local motorists towards the visitors.

Observed on a the drive to Adaminaby at lunchtime on Saturday – several old bikes chuffing along with about six impatient motorists behind, resorting to overtaking on double unbroken lines, around blind corners and having to pull up short so as not to collide with the old bikes.

Maybe it’s time our local councils invested in some signage along the lines “Vintage rally in progress – drive carefully” which can be erected at suitable intervals to advise motorists to show some manners?

Speaking of which – has peeing in public become some new craze, like planking? Our local police seem to be constantly having to move on, and chastise, blokes who seem to need advice from the continence nurse.

Either that or a crash course in manners and personal hygiene.

Everyone been to the pool now it’s open?

Enjoy the long, long hike from the carpark to the entrance? Its even longer when the temperature is only just three degrees and the wind is blowing.

How about we install an electronic gate opener adjacent the carpark? If gym users can swipe their little gizmo to gain entry to the gym, why can’t season pass holders have a similar facility at the pool?

Challenge for PI ministers Editor, Our primary industry ministers throughout the country have a golden opportunity on Friday October 26 to stand up for rural Australia and put in place a framework which will assist farmers and our agriculture industry manage future extreme weather conditions.

They will be meeting with the federal minister for agriculture on this day to decide on the future of drought policy.

Encouragingly, governments are favourable towards household income support.

However, we must ensure that any asset test allows farmers to preserve their farm assets for future income generation.

We have also had very positive discussions around the issue of preparedness and self-reliance, and constructive ways that governments might be able to assist farmers in this way.

Riposte Lisa Ashurst Funny how fast grass can grow…a bit of rain, a bit of sun and whoompa! Jungle! I swear that only a week ago our grass was shorter and far more well behaved and yet here it is now, all grown out and shot in every direction like a bad hair day.

It’s a lovely colour though, all bright green and healthy and lush looking and it will look a picture once it’s had a run-over with the mower so all I need now is a clear day to do the mowing, but that hasn’t been happening because on the days I’m home and free to mow it’s either raining or snowing or else it is kind of clear but the long shaggy grass is still sodden from the rain/snow of the day/ night before! Then it grows even longer and shaggier.

But hey, isn’t it always the way!

I mean, I really, really want to get in and do the lawn mowing before it turns into a case of hacking my way through the yard with a machete but doing it in the rain and/or tying to run a mover over it in it’s current sodden state would probably be unproductive and the end result would just look awful.

Disappointingly business support is not attracting the same interest from government.

This forms an important part of any drought policy and we want state and federal ministers to commit to investigate business support options.

We also want to see improvements in farm management deposits, skills and training, investment in tools and technologies and social support measures.

Current drought policy measures have played a vital role in helping rural families and businesses through the recent drought.

The challenge for governments is to design a policy that delivers better outcomes than the previous one.

So….what to do? Well, possibly I could borrow a sheep or two. I’m sure they could mow through the jungle in just a few days and wet grass can be eaten down with no ragged side effects and it wouldn’t matter what the weather was doing. Sheep will eat regardless, plus an added advantage would be the visuals. I just adore sheep (have done all my life) and find them really appealing.

But sheep and cuteness aside, I have a real spring growth thingy going on so I need to get my mowing thingy on ASAP. I should seriously consider my weeding thingy too as the garden beds have a whole lot of new stuff sprouting in them that shouldn’t be there and as is usually the case, the new stuff wants to take over. Well if the new stuff was good looking it would be welcome to the space but since when has any weed ever been a looker?

Anyway, it’s becoming a bit of a race now so I’m hoping for a clear weekend so I can get into it once and for all. Front and back yards all done and back to their neatlooking selves again and then I’ll be ready to tackle those gardens.

Just one dry sunny weekend, that’s all I need.

Just one…!

Gearing up for sesquicentenary Cooma Public School is gearing up for its sesquicentenary – its 150th anniversary, in April 2013.

The big reunion is planned for April 28 and the school is hoping as many former students and teachers as possible will be able to attend. Pictured on this page are students from the sixth form classes of 1966 – the year before they moved on to high school.

Many of these students will be Cooma this weekend as they celebrate the 40th anniversary of leaving Monaro High School.

For more information on the CPS 15oth , contact John Chapman at the school.

YALLAMBEE LODGE

PUBLIC NOTICE Re-Introduction of disposal fee for E-Waste In June this year, Council resolved to conduct a threemonth trial where fees were not charged for the disposal of E-Waste items (e.g. computers and components, televisions etc.) from residential premises within the shire.

Throughout the trial period, approximately 700 E-Waste units were taken to the Cooma Landfill for disposal.

As the anticipated Stewardship programme is not available for Council to dispose of these items, Council has resolved to re-introduce the disposal fee.

The fee for the disposal of E-Waste items is $6.00 per item and will apply from 1 November 2012.

The fee of $12.00 will still remain for disposal of domestic units from outside Cooma-Monaro Shire. E-Waste items from commercial premises or commercial quantities located outside Cooma-Monaro Shire will not be accepted.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL A POOL

Yallambee Lodge resident Doug Vaughan was helped in the garden by Monaro High School students Natalie, Ben and Sam. The students are part of the school’s community service group which visits Yallambee Lodge on Wednesday afternoons.

REMEMBER: Children can drown in pools

If you are considering purchasing a pool this summer, it is essential that you contact Council and discuss the requirements of having a pool in your yard.

“A pool is an excavation or structure that is capable of holding water of 300mm or more and is for the purpose of swimming”.

A pool must be surrounded by a child-resistant barrier that separates the pool from any residential building situated on the premises and from any place adjoining the premises. (This is a new requirement under NSW Government) • This fence must be a minimum of 1.2 metres in height • Be no more than 100 mm from the ground • Have gaps of no more than 100 mm between gaps/spaces • Gate must be child resistant and swing outward • Fence must be 1.2 metre from any objects e.g. bbq, rock walls, deckchairs, cubby houses.

• Pool owners must clearly display a current resuscitation sign which is legible from a distance of 3 metres • Pool safety checklists are available from Council to assist you with the requirements.

Linemarking

As of 1 September 2012 the Public Health Act 2010 and Public Health Regulation 2012 came into practice.

The new Act and Regulation continue the provisions of the earlier legislation and include a number of changes that will affect a wide range of industries.

Of particular interest to the Water Industry are changes to the drinking water safety measures that apply to suppliers of drinking water and effect private suppliers and water carters.

Water carters provide a drinking water supply in areas where other water supplies are insufficient or temporarily unsuitable. NSW Health and NSW Food Authority have developed Guidelines to help water carters provide safe drinking water and comply with the requirements of the Public Health Act 2010, the Public Health Regulation 2012, the Food Act 2003 and the Local Government Act 1993.

The regulation requires water carters and water supply utilities to make and maintain records detailing the customers they supply water to. The records are to include: • Name of the water supplier from which the water carter received water • Name and address of each person to whom the water carter supplies water • Place, date, time and volume of water supplied to that person • Details of any substances other than drinking water transported in any water tank used by the water carter • Dates on which any water tank used by the water carter is cleaned Water carters are required to notify the NSW Food Authority of their business and obtain the necessary approvals from the water utility or supplier of the water.

Documentation and records provide evidence that the water carter’s business is being operated appropriately. These records and logs may be requested

by Public Health or Council to check on business operation and provides assurance that any water supplied for drinking purposes is suitable for safe consumption.

For further information contact council on 02 6455 1777 or NSW Public Health at www.health.nsw.gov.au/phact

Council recently carried out new linemarking on the corner of Commissioner and Bombala Streets.

National Water Week is an annual awareness week that aims to improve community understanding of water issues in Australia.

Commencing on the third Sunday of October, it is Australia’s only national water awareness week.

The theme for 2012 National Water Week is ‘Valuing our Water’.

Water must be used wisely if there is to be enough to meet the needs of future generations.

Mowing Program Council’s spring mowing program has commenced. Pictured is Kearin Paton slashing the verge along Polo Flat Road.

It is times like now, when the dam levels are rising, that we should look at the long term usage by continuing to encourage sound water practices and investment in diverse sources of water, whether these be recycling, desalination inter-basin transfers or demand management or a combination.

To celebrate Water Week 2012, Council will be holding an information stall in Sharp Street, near the Visitors Centre, on Friday 26 October, from 10.00 am to 3.00 pm.

There will be information on saving water in the home and garden, water-wise garden watering, greywater use and much more. We will have three 60ltr water tanks, with tap, to give away to three lucky residents of the Shire. To be eligible for the draw come and visit us at the stall and fill out an entry form (one entry only per Cooma-Monaro Shire resident). The draw will take place on Monday 29 October and winners will be notified by phone.

Mick Joffe Book Launch

Dalgety Numbla Vale branch of CWA After a successful year, we recently held our AGM. Unfortunately our president was unable to attend as she is still avoiding our cold weather.

Likewise our Treasurer however, they will be back before we have to do any hard work We had a successful year, both financially and socially .Our biggest fund raiser was again the Women’s Day at Dalgety. This day is a very successful day when the women of Monaro meet to hear the inspirational speakers and to get together and catch up on the year’s events.

We again did the baby and mother packs for PNG, they were suspended for a short time but are now back on the agenda so we will be again collecting goods for them.

We went to the Dalgety school for our International Day. It was amazing what the small school (nine pupils) managed to present to us about our country of study. The Principal is to be congratulated as well as the children. Very well done.

We recently had our rooms painted (at the cost of paint only) and with the new curtains donated by Molly, we have a completely new and fresher look.

We have attended the Group meetings and participated in group fund raising.

We had the pleasure of our Group International officer, Carol Morris, attend to chair our election of the new office bearers. She also gave a short talk on attending Armidale and other related work attendant to her office, and also our country of study, Timor Leste.

We should soon know our country for next year.

The result of the elections were as follows President : Maree McMillan Vice Presidents; Megan Power. Leonie Kelley Secretary: Judy Walters Treasurer. On hold until Gillian returns Land cookery; Leonie Kelley Handicraft ; Debbie Law International; Judy Walters Publicity; Beryl Seears Councillors; Gloria Mugridge, Beryl Seears

Cooma-Monaro Nashoes sub-branch turns 10 CHICKEN SCHNITZEL

$12.99kg

The Cooma-Monaro Sub-Branch of the National Servicemen’s Association is now 1o years old.

At its last meeting on Sunday October 21, members welcomed NSW State Treasurer George Sachse, who was guest speaker for the meeting.

To mark the association’s first 10 years, Mr Sasche also presented the subbranch with a plaque and a certificate.

The Nashoes between 1951 and 1972, a total of 287,000 young Australian men were called up in two separate schemes for compulsory training in the Navy, Army and Air Force.

Of them, 212 died on active service in Borneo and Vietnam.

National Service was part of Australia’s defence preparedness for three decades.

The late Barry Vicary founded the National Servicemen’s Association of Australia in Toowoomba, Queensland, in 1987 to seek a better deal for Vietnam-era National Servicemen and a medal recognising National Service. The Association now has branches Australiawide and is the second-largest exservice organisation after the RSL. Pictured at top, the members of the Cooma-Monaro subbranch with State

COOMA NORTH PRESCHOOL CELEBRATING 60 YEARS

Cooma North Preschool’s history

In 1952 the newly formed Snowy Mountains Authority (SMA) Women’s Auxiliary decided that one of their first projects would be to establish a Preschool Education Centre.

The SMA offered the use of one of its buildings for this purpose as

there was overwhelming interest from parents in the Cooma North area, most of them worked for the SMA. After meeting all of the requirements set down by the Kindergarten Union, and after obtaining a site in West Camp,

the Kindergarten opened its doors on October 13, 1952. As an interesting start to the service only 30 children out of 50 were able to attend due to a measles epidemic.

After the establishment of the Cooma North Neighbourhood Centre, the site at West Camp was no longer convenient.

A site in Baroona Avenue, adjacent to the current site of the Preschool was chosen and the building was moved there in three parts by low loader. Sir William Hudson opened the new building on April 18, 1958.

In 1974 the SMA offered the Preschool the land on which the Preschool now stands at a small cost and the Preschool received a grant for a new building.

As the grant could only be allocated to a self contained

independent body the Preschool finally ended their relationship with the SMA Women’s Auxiliary and became the Cooma North Preschool Association. Families spent many hours of their time preparing the yard and interior of the new building as well as the huge task of removing the old building.

This could not have happened without community support and donations from SMA and SMEC. Over the years the Preschool building has continued to evolve as the need has arisen for more space or to comply with Government Regulations. The additions include the enclosure of the outdoor verandah, upgrading the disabled bathroom, a new kitchen and a timber deck.

COOMA NORTH PRESCHOOL CELEBRATING 60 YEARS

Cooma North Preschool’s history Continued from Page 18 2008 saw the commencement of major upgrades to the interior and exterior of the Preschool including painting the interior walls, a new fence along the front of the Preschool, transforming the very sloping yard into tiered play spaces, landscaping, a bike path and a new shed for our outdoor resources.

The staff at the Preschool bring a wealth of experience to their roles with several staff having worked in early childhood education for over 20 years.

All of the staff hold a qualification in the early childhood area, with two university trained Early Childhood Teachers, another staff member undertaking a teaching degree and two other staff studying their Diploma in Early Childhood.

The staff are passionate, dedicated and committed to working in partnership with families in providing a play based learning environment fostering children’s development in all areas and promoting a lifelong love of learning. The current staff (pictured) are:Narelle Avis Director Tracy Stanford Assistant Jackie Jackson Educational Leader Kim Bolton Educator Juliana Johnston Educator Nina Dowd Educator Heather Prince Educator Kylie Hain Office Administrator (maternity leave) Celena Wells Office Administrator (temporary)

The children enjoy a balance of indoor and outdoor experiences and are particularly interested in sustainable practices through their interest in the preschool chickens, worm farm and vegetable gardens.

We are all very excited to unveil our new creek bed and commemorative paver path which will form part of our natural play space and create more connections between people, plants and the land.

It is a privilege to be part of the Cooma North Preschool Community and as we reach our 60th year of providing an early childhood education to the many children who have passed through our doors, we would like to thank everyone who has helped make our Preschool unique and special.

Snowliner’s Kimberley experience We now have a long drive ahead and the last stretch being on The Trek of Death to the Bungle Bungles arriving just as night closes in.

Onward ever onward and day 6 rolls around with an early start for the helicopter flyers – what a brilliant experience. Height is 598m above sea level and flying just above this you could almost put your hands out and touch the famed bee hives or domes.

Cathedral Gorge was later walked in to and awe inspiring and ‘wow’ were descriptions heard among our travellers.

The Giggle Tree has an interesting background. The mother-in-law and sonin-law leaves that back each other. In aboriginal culture they do not talk as this avoids any conflicts.

From the airport we drove to Echidna Chasm where the echidna tired to escape at the end. Rounded rocks and pebbles reinforce the power of nature. Sunlight, like lava flows shine through the rock crevices.

To be told the numerous creek crossings we pass can be 9 metres deep in the wet season is fascinating, consequently this area is inaccessible during the wet season.

After our walk we arrive back at the vehicles for hamburgers which Rob was busy cooking while Ryan was guiding us through the Chasm. I am sure we are loosing weight with all the exercise, not gaining it!! Well we can live in hope We are currently sitting on the decking at Bellbird camping area enjoying a cold drink (soft of course) while you are all snuggled up n front of fires and wrapped up in blankets.

100’s of photos have been taken but they cannot represent what the eyes see in panoramic vision.

Friday arrives and we are a week into

our travels. Leaving the Bungle Bungles behind we retrace our ‘steps’ along the Trek of Death – 75 causeways and creek crossings all impassable in the wet season – and our trusty vehicles Johnny West and Tilly perform admirably. The little truckstop at Doon Doon is again our lunch time rendezvous as we eat with gusto. We

Questro.

Our destination is Home Valley Station another 50kms along the dirt road. On arrival at Home Valley we are greeted by Cassy who allocates rooms and takes our dinner order.

A refreshing swim in the ‘private’ pool is enjoyed before boarding Johnny West

are now travelling on the Great Northern Highway before turning off on to the notorious Gibb River Road and its 750 kms.

Upgrading and sealing of the first 60kms to El Questro Station is planned to be completed by the start of the wet season.

This will provide year round access to El

for a trip back to the Pentecost River for a remarkable sunset – pinks, blues, mauves change the approaching night sky.

The Cockburn Ranges change colours continually while the sun is setting.

A sleep in on Saturday was a welcome relief, breakfast then on the road, back

tracking to El Questro Station. The sharp faces of the Cockburn Ranges are referred to as Questra and local legend has it that when the original owner filed his claim he had had a few drinks and wrote El Questro down by mistake.

Our first stop was at Zebedee Hot Springs (26o) supposedly named after a cartoon the owner’s daughter watched. I think we were almost prunes when we immerged from the springs. On to the booking office of El Questro Station – unable to visit the actual Station as guests pay up to $3,000 per night to guarantee their privacy. Lunch was a fabulous mince or chicken taco and salad but I am sure most of us sampled both.

The worn out returned to Home Valley station while the hardy trekked up to Emma Gorge (named after the owner’s daughter). For almost 2kms we clamoured over rocks and boulders, up hill and down dale, and was it worth it – absolutely. A secluded water hole surrounded on three sides by towering cliffs with water spraying in from waterfalls and a thermal spring. The rocks were cruel on our tender feet. The refreshing feel of the cool water was magical on our tired bodies – worse part was that we had to retrace our steps out. Arriving back at Home valley station after sunset.

On their way to dinner Ryan and Rob came across a King Brown snake which Matthew, our restaurant manager, caught and bagged – apparently he use to work for the Australian Zoo. Home Valley Station was officially opened in 2009 and it is like an oasis in the desert surrounded by green grass which was so pleasing to our eyes after the dust of the roads.

Bill had plenty of pull at field days

Merino wether trials

Shearers at work during the Merino wether trail finalised at Delegate last week.

Local tractor collector, Bill Shanley of Bunyan, had plenty of pull at the recent Murrumbateman Field days. Bill is pictured above in a Vintage Tractor Pull.

Some other exhibitors from our region were: 〈 Tom Barry with his lifting device, Jack Strap 〈 Artist Lucy Rose with her Snowy Mountains inspired paintings

〈 The team from Jindabyne-based Heli Surveys who did helicopter flights on the day There were 420 exhibitors - more than ever before. Plenty of new exhibitors were there this year with a huge range of products and services.

This helped to give the event a fresh and exciting feel. Exhibitors were reporting an increase in sales this year too.

Don’t forget about footrot The Livestock Health and Pest Authorities (LHPA) are advising sheep producers to be mindful of footrot during spring and summer and employ preventative strategies to keep flocks free from the debilitating disease.

Even though it hasn’t been as wet as last year, producers are being encouraged to be vigilant and on the lookout for footrot.

Footrot, as the name suggests, is a contagious bacterial disease of sheep and goats. In its virulent form the disease has significant welfare and productivity implications and can result in reduced fertility, poor growth rates and reduced wool value and quality.

Prevention is the key when it comes to footrot. Producers are encouraged not to buy sheep with footrot and one way to ensure this is to request a Sheep Health Statement.

The statement contains a legal declaration on footrot, as well as other important livestock health considerations such as ovine Johne’s disease, ovine brucellosis and lice.

Introduced sheep should also be isolated on

arrival to the property and checked thoroughly for footrot, as well as any other livestock health issues. Early detection of any issues will reduce the impact.

If producers have lame sheep, it’s important that they are inspected to check for virulent footrot, as conditions that favour lameness and foot abscess also favour footrot.

Maintaining fences is also an important consideration – this will limit strays coming onto your property which may bring footrot with them.

Since 1988 significant progress has been made with the control of footrot in NSW, and the entire State was gazetted as a footrot Protected Area (less than 1% flock prevalence) in August 2009.

Everyone has a part to play in ensuring footrot prevalence remains at current low levels.

LHPA staff can assist with diagnosis of foot problems and advise on the most appropriate treatment for affected animals – for more information contact your local LHPA office.

Serrated Tussock Field day Producers to decide on OJD areas Serrated tussock has long been established in the Cooma-Monaro region.

It is a difficult plant to control, is a declared noxious weed and requires and ongoing and coordinated effort to manage.

Conventional, organic or chemical free – if you are in agriculture or own land this field day is for you! It will focus on the things we know work, explore some of the alternatives and look at the threat of flupropanate resistance.

Speakers include: Luke Pope (District Agronomist, NSW DPI), Tony Cook (Technical Specialist, Weeds, NSW DPI), Brett Jones (Chief Weeds Officer, CoomaMonaro Shire Council), Martyn Noakes (Valley View Farm, Bredbo).

The Field day is being held on Martyn’s 1200acre property where he uses biodynamic methods and manages a large proportion of his property for conservation.

He has had to contend with the conundrum of controlling serrated

tussock in this situation.

Field Day details: Where: Valley View Farm, 3260 Monaro Highway, Bredbo NSW When: Saturday October 27 Time: 9.30am – 12pm (followed by a light lunch) Bring: A chair, the day will be held in the paddock.

Cost: Free, please RSVP for catering RSVP: Clare Hamilton M: 0428 791 359 or email: clare. h a m i l t o n @ m i d w e s t e r n . n s w. gov.au <mailto:clare.hamilton@ midwestern.nsw.gov.au> Brett Jones M: 0427 419 177 Please remember to register is you are coming so we can organise catering.

For more information contact Clare Hamilton: 0428 791 359 or clare.hamilton@midwestern. nsw.gov.au <mailto:clare. hamilton@midwestern.nsw.gov. au> or go to our website: www. serratedtussock.com.au <http:// www.serratedtussock.com.au>

Sheep producers in areas that may meet the technical requirements of a protected area for ovine Johne’s disease have the opportunity to vote on whether they wish to become a protected area.

Under the revised National OJD Management Plan, being led by the Sheepmeat Council of Australia and Wool Producers Australia, which is proposed to take effect on 1 January 2013, regions throughout Australia will be declared either a Protected Area or Control Area for OJD. Simply, a Control Area is where there are variable levels of OJD and producers manage their own disease risk, while a Protected Area is where the disease is rare or unknown and there is active management.

At a series of meetings across NSW during September, sheep producers were informed on how they could elect to become part of a Protected Area and what their responsibilities would be. Representatives from the sheep industry, Livestock Health and Pest Authorities (LHPA), NSW Farmers’ Association and NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) were present at the meetings.

Areas which met the technical prerequisites for becoming a Protected Area and for which producers have elected to vote on obtaining an OJD Protected Area status include: • Walgett • Narrabri • Warialda • Moree • Coonamble • Nyngan • Forbes – Vote anticipated during February 2013 • West Wyalong – Vote anticipated during February 2013 • Hay

Individual sheep producers within these areas will soon be receiving a mail out from the LHPA which will contain information on the revised plan, Protected and Control Areas and a voting paper for becoming part of the producer’s proposed Protected Area.

If 50% of eligible sheep producers in the proposed Protected Area return the survey form, and if 50% of these vote “YES”, a Regional Biosecurity Plan will be developed for the area with the assistance of an LHPA District Veterinarian.

To fully appreciate the implications of voting to be a Protected Area, producers should review the information on the National OJD Management Plan available at www.ojd.com.au before casting their vote.

It is intended that areas that do not satisfy the criteria for Protected Area status will become Control Areas on 1 January 2013.

LHPA Acting CEO, Tim Johnston, said the LHPA has played a lead role in the implementation of previous OJD management plans for NSW and will continue to work with government and industry in implementing the revised plan.

“The LHPA is supportive of industry deciding on how it wants OJD managed at the local level and will assist industry where appropriate,” Mr Johnston said.

Individuals and regions should be able to determine how they can manage pests and diseases – including OJD – at the local level, but it is also important that a balance is achieved between the ability to trade and the ability to manage a disease.

For more information on the surveys contact your local LHPA office. Further information on the revised National OJD Management Plan is available at www.ojd.com.au.

Cooma women’s bowls

President Una’s Friendship day on Tuesday turned into a wild windy morning of bowls.

We had 26 bowlers from Cooma and District, even the company of a few men which was great to see.

On rink two we had a game of four’s between Del Turner’s team battling it out to creep over the line against Keith Sach’s.

On rink three wife Kath Sach team combined with the Adaminaby ladies reversed the score to come out winners over Ron Gammon’s girls.

Rink four saw a pleasing welcome back to Simon Schoon after his operation although not a winner on the green his team had a hard tussle up against an up and coming performer Ron Wainwright.

Well done to Ron’s team, I think Olga must of disliked the colour lime green the way Ron sent those new bowls up the rink.

Rink five was the all girls teams where Bridget Corby’s team came out winners over Leonie’s team. We must welcome Evelyn Hamilton to her first game as a new member of the ladies.

I think all the bowlers were pleased to finish as the aroma of the hearty casseroles cooking inside the clubhouse was more pleasant than the gusty wind blowing outside.

A delicious lunch was enjoyed by everyone.

Closing date for the Open Triples is next week so if you haven’t got your team in please do as there is only a few places left.

November brings Melbourne Cup day we would like to see as many men and women to join in for a great day of bowls and lunch.

Wednesday October 24, 2012

Numbers soar as daylight saving starts Seventy-two Athletes turned out for the first ESDST on a barmy night until a cold wind arrived around 6 pm.

Personal Best performances dominated the night with 31 athletes achieving 47.5 Personal Bests.

U/7 Angus Wood and U/10 Angela Constance topped the night with three P.Bs each, closely followed by Angela’s older sister U/12 Maggie Constance with 2.5 P.B’.

Angus Wood created P.Bs in the 50m where he clocked 10.59sec taking over half a second off his

previous best. Angus also clipped over half a second in the 70m sprint, running 15.38 ec. The third P.B. was the result of this extra speed he acquired from the track as he sped down the runway of the Long Jump and lifted off to produce an extra 35cms on his landing above his old mark and broke through the 2m barrier leaping 2.12m.

Angela Constance. achieved her three P.Bs, two of them on the Track and like Angus, the third at the Long Jump event. Angela’s run over the 100m saw her shave

off 1.59 sec and nearly break through the 20 ec barrier for the 100m. She should be able to crack this milestone next time she runs the 100m.Tthis week her time was exactly 20.00 seconds for the 100m. Angela is also very close to breaking another barrier, the 2 minute barrier for the 400m. This event is claimed to be the second hardest Track event, only the 400m Hurdles is harder. This week Angela’s run over this distance produce 2.48sec P.B. in clocking 2m06.00sec. Angela also broke through the 2m

barrier at the Long Jump by leaping 2.10m.

Maggie Constance.

Collected 2.5 Personal Best over the night. The half point relates to her effort in the High Jump, where she equalled her personal best this season of 0.95m. Maggie’s P.B’s came via the 100m where she shaved off 100th of a second in clocking 18.16 sec. The other P.B. was result of a fantastic throw in the Discus where Maggie hurled the discus over 4m to lift her ranking to third in the U/12 Girls with a heave of 12.30m.

Other Athletes who had

two P.B’s on the night.

U/7 Girls, Kate Maurier with 2 seconds in the 50m (11.19 s) and over ½ metre in Long Jump (1.88 m). Molly Norris also picked up her second P.B’s in the same events (Long Jump =1.95m and 50m = 10.63s).

U/8 Boy Alex Gould knocked off half a second in his 70m run and just on 3 seconds in the 400m.

It has been a wonderful trip down memory lane sorting through my stash of Little Athletics memorabilia. I started with the Cooma Little Athletics Club as an U/6 in 1981 and continued competing into the U/18 and Open age groups, specialising in shot put, discus, and hammer throw. We travelled to many places for carnivals and State and National competitions. Year after year Mum took me to Wagga Wagga, Tumut, Bega and Canberra for carnivals, Sydney and Wollongong for athletics camps, and State and National Championships in Canberra and Sydney.

As an U/12 I was selected in the ACT Team for the Nationals in Sydney in 1988, and as an U/15 the NSW Team for the Nationals in Perth in 1991.

I was also lucky enough to be selected for an Australian team which toured Canada and the USA in 1991, this was an amazing experience and I came home with four medals.

Tom Stead was my throws coach up until the time I went to boarding school in Sydney in 1992, and being a member of various State and National teams also enabled me to train at the AIS in Canberra, and I was coached and trained by some of the best coaches in Australia. My collection of medals and trophies grew considerably over the years, and they are something I will always be proud of.

FAVOURITE FOOD: Anything I haven’t cooked!

FAVOURITE SONG: The Rattlin’ Bog. FAVOURITE TV SHOW: Dr Who. FAVOURITE MOVIE: All the Harry Potter movies.

WHO IS YOUR IDOL? Winnie the Pooh.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO LITTLE ATHLETES? Be your best and have fun!

WHAT DO/DID YOU ENJOY ABOUT LITTLE ATHLETICS? Little Athletics gave me so many wonderful opportunities to travel, achieve my personal best performances, and I am still friends with many other athletes who I met along the way.

Recently I have helped to coach local kids for school athletics carnivals and last season my own two children started at the Cooma Athletics Club which was a big thrill for me. Athletics is all about fun, family and fitness. It’s a great way for children to build confidence, have fun, do their best, and make lots of friends along the way. Congratulations to the club and all the volunteers over the last 30 years who have provided such a wonderful sport for the children of Cooma.

Sport time of 1m41.72s. While Jessie Lunt lowered her best by half a second to 1m 39.41s. Both Girls also increased their PBs over the bar in High Jump by 5cms, with Jessie leaping 0.85m and Jessica just a fraction ahead with 0.90m.

Two U/10 boys Philip Webb and Jordan Davis both excelled on the Track with Philip raced past his old PB in the 100m by slashing 4 seconds off his time to cross the line in 17.16sec. While Jordan was doing the same, over the 400m in 1m 28.88 sec (the second fastest time of the night). Both boys Improved their Long Jump leaps with Jordan clearing 3.55m (5cm PB) and Philip jumping out to 2.54 (9cms PB).

U/11 Girls, Summer Rees and Chelsea Lunt knocked up 2 P.B’s each,

31

Summer gained hers in the 100m by taking her time down to 19.90s (a 0.32sec PB) and 400m where she is trying to break through the 1m50s mark and slowly creeping up on it, this week’s run of 1m50.40 sec Summer has only has to increase her strides length by 1cm and she will be a sub 1m50 runner.

Chelsea Lunt is hot on the heels of the boys in both the 100m and 400m with the second fastest time for the girls over the 100m. Chelsea lowered her time down to 16.38 sec eclipsing her old mark by 1.79 seconds.

On the Circular Track in the 400m, Chelsea ran the fastest time for the girls event clocking 1m 32.65 sec, and is slowly creeping up on the 1m30 sec mark.

Sprint 1000 Saturday October 27 will see an event that hasn’t been seen in the Snowy Mountains before, the Shannons Insurance Snowy Mountains 1000.

This event is being hosted by Runway Motorsport Australia and is being held at the Snowy Mountains Airport, Kosciuszko Road, Cooma.

In the making for some time now it is hoped that this will become an annual event here in the Snowy Mountains, as it is very difficult to find somewhere to run this type of event, with a runway being the perfect place.

The Snowy Mountains 1000 is a 1000 metre Runway Sprint with competitors racing from a standing start. It has been estimated that some cars will reach up to 300 kilometres in under 19 seconds in this sprint event, using cars that haven’t been purpose built for drag racing.

Entries were limited to 100 people and this has now been fully booked for several weeks.

Competitors and their vehicles are travelling from all over the country to compete, including two

from Jindabyne and one from Cooma. The field of vehicles entered is hugely varied with manufacturers such as Lamborghini, BMW, Porsche, Chevrolet, Ford, PFV, Honda, Lotus, Holden, HSV, Audi, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Volkswagon, Shelby and more.

The event is alcohol free so perfect for a family day out of high-speed fun.

Gates open for spectators at 9am with racing also starting at 9am and running to 5pm.

Entry is $10 for adults, $25 for a family of four and kids under 12 are free. There isn’t any seating available so it is advisable to bring along your fold up chairs or picnic blankets. You can bring your own food and there will also be food and cold drinks available.

The pit area is open to the public from 12.30pm until 1.30pm for you to have a better look at some of these fast unique cars.

With a Show and Shine being run by Shannon’s Insurance and a full day of awesome racing, there is bound to be something there for everyone.

When old cricketers get together...

Beautiful weather accommodated the past and present cricketers from Coffeys Cavaliers Cricket Club last weekend when they held their 25-year club reunion.

Fours champions decided A great day for bowls last Saturday but surprisingly only 14 players.

Simon Schoon, Mike Buress (visiting from Queanbeyan) and Keith Goodwin trailed Sergio Roncelli, Max Povey and Dennis Steinfrort by just three shots after 16 ends and then went to sleep as Dennis and co scored 12 shots over four ends to run away with the match 25/10. Mary Phillips and Peter Marsicano were even at 5/5 with Daphne Buckley and Jack Sajina when the latter pair scored a five to lead 10/5. This stired up Mary and Peter as they outscored Daphne and Jack in the concluding stages to win 28/16. Mai Burgess and Paul Cannell trailed Renate Winckel and Jim Lumsden 5/7 when Renate and Jim had two five shot ends and were not headed from that point on and won 28/2L. Just eight for Social Bowls on Sunday with Lorraine West and Don Jarvis having a ding dong battle with Ron Wainwright and Olga Jebbink with the former pair holding a slight lead only to be overtaken on end 13, but able to recover and eventually win 19/15. Bob Douglas and Jim Lumsden had a close battle with Renate Winckel and Ignazio Mondello for fourteen ends when Bob and Jim applied the pressure in the closing stages to win 26/16.

A good crowd witnessed firstly the semi-finals of the Fours in the morning and the final in the afternoon.

Allan Crowe, Ken Bowden, Dennis Steinfort and Nelson Wallace started well against Steve Lapham, Guilio D’Amico, John Schoon and Wayne Lodge to lead 14/5 after 13 ends. Six shots to Wayne’s team on end 14 turned the game around and although Nelson’s tam won five of the last seven ends they went down 23/20 to put Wayne’s team into the final.

In the other semi, Keith Goodwin, Peter Marsicano, Richard Nichols and Peter Caldwell had a dream start against Mike Mannile, Garry Taylor, Kim Weston and Mark Buckley to lead 17/4 after 11 ends.

Mark’s tem then won eight ends to trail by just two shots 15/17. The last two ends to Peter’s team gave them a place in the final 20/15.

As in the morning match.

Peter’s team set up a handy 12/4 lead only to drop six shots on end nine to put Wayne very much in the game and eventually take the lead 16/15 on end 13 and although Peter drew level on end 17, Wayne’s team dominated in the run home to win 23/20.

The bowls was, for the most part, of a very high standard and worthy of a final that kept the onlookers entertained.

Congratulations to Steve Lapham, Guilio D’Amico, John Schoon and Wayne Lodge, Fours Champions for the 2012/13 season.

The garage sale is shaping gup to be bigger and better than last year.

Local boys in St Greg’s top team

33

Local Monaro Boys – Jacob Moon – Back Row second from Left and Harry Roach Back Row Third from left .

On October 13 and 14, St Gregory’s College Campbelltown was named first in NSW and second nationally after a truly brilliant season.

The national final was played at the IRB World 7’s at Skilled Stadium in front of 20,000 people.

St Gregory’s won the NSW Championships from such schools as Patrician Brother’s Blacktown, Farrer Agricultural College Tamworth, St Stanislaus’ College Bathurst, Scots College Sydney and Westfield Sports High and Hills Sports high before heading to the Gold Coast.

St Gregory’s won their first game 19-7 over Aranmore from Western Australia before a convincing win over Brisbane State high 31-12.

The semi-final place was then secured as St Gregory’s faced Erindale College from the ACT for a 38-0 win enabling them to make the grand final against Keebra Park High QLD. At half time the boys felt the pressure coming from Keebra and were down 19-0 but a half time chat with coach Matt Brennan saw them power on to level the game in the second half.

Sadly, 2012 wasn’t to be St Gregory’s year with Keebra Park High winning 24-19 but what a battle it was and an experience none will forget.

Jacob Moon – Year 11 said “It was an incredible experience. To be crowned best in NSW and then to

play in that atmosphere and come so close , while disappointing in some respects, it’s a memory I will have for life” Harry Roach , also in Year 11 was not only ecstatic to enjoy his first plane flight but also said “ To be No 1 in NSW and 2nd in Australia – I’ll take that as something I can claim to be a part of!”

The final was St Gregory’s 13th Game in this Tournament after winning the first 12 and all boys played exceptionally well.

With an overall ranking of No 1 in NSW and econd in Australia it is an extraordinary achievement for our boys who are a class act both on and off the field. Well done to you all.

Cats looking for girls for AFL Youth Girls carnival team The Cooma Cats are looking for girls aged 13-18 to represent the club in the inaugural AFL NSW/ ACT Youth Girls Under 18s Cup to be held in Canberra on Saturday 17th November, 2012.

Cooma Cats Youth Girls football project manager Rob Barnes said the AFL NSW/ACT Youth Girls Under 18s Cup provided an ideal opportunity for girls interested in playing competitive AFL football to come along and try out Australia’s fastest growing female participation sport.

“The number of female AFL teams and competitions is rapidly growing across Australia as more girls discover the benefits of playing the game,” Rob said.

Teams from across the ACT and NSW will take part in the oneday carnival which is designed to develop interest in and awareness of female AFL football.

Rob said the Cooma Cats were working towards entering a team in the AFL Canberra Youth Girls competition in 2013 and the AFL NSW/ACT Youth Girls Under 18s Cup in November provided potential players a great opportunity to come and see if it is a game they would like to pursue.

The Cats supported the region’s first ever all-girls AFL team from St Patrick’s Parish School playing in the Giants Cup earlier this year which was a great success, and now want to take the next step

GET FIT!!

with raising a Cats’ Youth Girl’s team for 2013.

Rob said no experience is necessary and all girls aged 13-18 are welcome to join the team for the carnival in November.

“We’ll be running a number of short training sessions prior to the carnival focusing on the basic skills of AFL football,” Rob said.

“All the girls need is a pair of boots, a mouth guard and a desire to learn a new game in a team environment,” he said.

Rob can be contacted on 0425827130, or email at secretarycoomacats@gmail.com <mailto:secretarycoomacats@ gmail.com> .

Next Saturday the monthly heat of the Club Championship and Gregory Shield Competitions will be held from 400 yards.

Konica Cup Round 1 Monaro V Ginninderra Monaro won the toss and elected to bat in warm conditions.

Monaro got off to a poor start losing two early wickets in the crucial first 6 overs.

Adam Blacka (33) and Chris Khoury (16) steadied the innings picking the run rate up to a run a ball. The batsmen look set to really lift the run rate before both batsman fell in consecutive balls sending the Monaro middle order in a mad dash to pad up. Zach Smith(33) and O’Keeffe (22*) pushed the score to 117 at the end of the 20 overs. General consensus around the ground was 130 was par score. Monaro were going to have to bowl very well to restrict the Ginninderra side to 116 or less.

Ginninderra opening bat D Robscoe (27) fired early slaying Akkersdyke to the boundary on numerous occasions. In the third over Adam Blacka (1/13) got the much wanted early wicket to stem the ballooning run rate. D Asanovski (3/14) got an earlier than expected call up in to the action. Asanovski bowling his quick leg breaks had the Ginninderra batsman in knots picking up a wicket in his first over and with Blacka tying the batsman down at the other the end the run rate started to creep up and the pressure built. Asanovski again doing the damage picking up two wickets in consecutive balls sending the Ginnindrra chase from seemingly easy to a very difficult chase. Stephanson (25) and Hocking (17) rebuilt the Ginninderra innings and once again looked to be a fairly comfortable win for Ginninderra but two comical runouts let Monaro back into the game and the Monaro boys never let them get away as the bowlers and fielders did an outstanding job restricting the Ginnindera side to 9/108.

Man of the Match- Damian Asanovski Konica cup Round 2 Monaro V ANU @ ANU South Monaro won the toss and elected to bat on what looked like a fairly dry and wearing wicket.

Monaro again got off to a less the stellar start being 2/26 after six overs. Khoury (42) the back bone of the Monaro innings ticked the scoreboard over at close to a run a ball for much of the innings before he was run out ending a fine innings. Chris Dwyer took over where Khoury left off hitting several lofty blows into the outer before another run out ended his cavalier innings on 34 in the 18th over. Monaro finished the innings with a huge Adam Hayes six with Monaro posting a very good score of 7/129.

Monaro bowled some good early lines keeping the attacking ANU bats to just under five an over with the unusual opening combination Adam Blacka’s pace and Adamy Hayes off spin.

The gamble of bowling the off spinner in the power play paid off when the Hayes dart ball trapped the opening bat plumb in front. At the end of the six over mark ANU had their noses in front but the Monaro boys had a couple of “old” tricks up their sleeve

bringing on veterans O’Keefee (3/22) and Asanovski (2/20) picking up key wickets and slowing the run rate. Monaro continued to bowl and field very well and the run rate blew out to 10 an over with three overs remaining.

O’Keefe and Blacka restricted the batsman and Monaro kept ANU to 7/124. Monaro are now sitting on top of their pool in the Koinca Cupo Third Division.

Country Plate Monaro V Crookwell @ Crookwell Monaro was greeted to cool and overcast conditions and a turf wicket that had seen better days.

Batting was never going to be easy on this wickets which had cracks that the likes of Tony Greig could of quite easily have lost keys or even gold fountain pens down.

The toss was very crucial and O’Keeffe unfortunately lost the toss and Monaro hit the field knowing that a score over 100 would be a difficult chase. Monaro got off to a cracking start with Iain Elliot (4/21) destroying to Crookwell top order and at 6/47 Monaro thought this was going to be a fairly easy outing. Monaro let the foot of the pedal and the high standard of fielding and bowling from the previous day slipped as S Smith (32) and B Evans (55*) got on top of the Monaro boys and put together a wonderful partnership.

Monaro eventually got the break through when Asanovski (1/29) enticed Smith to drive down the ground to the waiting hands of Mitch Hynes.

Zach Smith was bought into the attack and cleaned up the tail taking 2/9. Crookwell all out for 156 in the 35th over Monaro had the difficult task of chasing down a good score but also having a lunch break an hour into batting Khoury and Hearn had the awkard task of making it to lunch without losing their wickets while making sure they kept the scoreboard ticking on a pitch that was now starting to play up.

The pair were looking solid until Khoury (16) fell to a ball that stopped on him pulling a ball straight to short mid wicket. Hearn (15) followed shortly after with another ball stopping and short mid off took a spectacular diving catch. Zach Smith (15) and Sam Williams (46) played through to lunch in attacking style punishing some short pitched bowling. Monaro were sitting comfortably at lunch at 2/77. Zach Smith fell right after the lunch break and Mitch Hynes (36) fresh off a pair of ducks played his natural game blasting the Crookwell bowlers to all parts and with Williams at the other end doing the same thing the game quickly slipped away from the Crookwell boys. Crookwell had a late sniff as Monaro lost 3 quick wickets with the winning total in their sites but cool head prevailed and Monaro knocked the runs off in only the 28th over.

Man of the Match- Iain Elliot.

Three from three for the Monaro rep side!!

Outside wins Bombala Cup Continued from page 36.

Race 1 on Saturday was The Merimbula Lake Oysters, Veisto/ Tui, Landmark Maiden Hcp over 900 metres. Canberra trainer Gratz Vella started off the day well when Bay Moon, a mare he trains for himself, took out the event.

Starting as the $1.80 favourite and ridden by Kayla Cross, Bay Moon had a long head margin to spare on the line from Lady Zizou with the Sapphire Coast trained Yambulla a ½ neck behind in third placing.

The second place-getter is from the Joseph and Jones yard whilst Yambulla is trained by Grant Bobbin for local identities Norm and Wendy Wilton.

The RSL Club, West End Estate Wines, Schute Bell Benchmark 45 Hcp was Race 2 and saw nine runners line up for the 1000 metre dash.

In a very keenly contested event, which saw Smooth Honours and Rapacount start as $4.40 equal favourites, it was a Victorian visitor Ballydoyle ($7.50), ridden by Lachlan Pillar, who prevailed.

Smooth Honours, trained in Canberra by Trevor McIlrick was second, a length margin in arrears, with 1 ½ lengths back to Tee Off Tiger in third.

Starting from the outside barrier on Saturday, it was a great effort by the Bob Triplow Bairnsdale

trained Ballydoyle who had been beaten by a short head margin when running second in the same event last year.

Race 3 was the Wilton Logging P/L, Village Ford, Women in Racing Maiden Plate over 1200 metres and saw six runners head to the barriers.

After winning the first event with Bay Moon, Gratz Vella saddled up Double Night and put aboard Lachlan Pillar in an effort to win with the stockily built grey gelding he trains for himself along with Jim and Norm Munro.

As the race unfolded, Michael Travers took the Joseph and Jones trained Because We Can to the lead with King Mini peeling to his outside to challenge.

However, as they rounded the bend, Because We Can took charge of the rider and headed towards the outside fence with the consequence being that both she and King Mini became uncompetitive.

In the meantime, Double Night kept his mind on the job to race away and score by a convincing 5 ¾ lengths from Tantangara with a further 3 ½ lengths back to Brengun Bruce.

The win notched up a winning double for Vella and also Pillar.

Having only her third lifetime start, Tantangara pleased trainer Shannon Byrne from Jindabyne with her progress whilst Julia

Ceely from Queanbeyan was also happy with the performance of Brengun Bruce.

The last race on the day, the Murphy’s Transport & Building Supplies, Beca Amec, Monaro Wool Benchmark 45 Hcp, had a field of nine runners.

Quite Venom, started as the $4 favourite however, after suffering early interference, was left rearwards as Drama Lodge led the field up the hill.

Having a much better ride than in the earlier race where his horse took charge of him, Michael Travers aboard Light Magic ($10) easily caught the leaders before the turn and a win was never in doubt from the 150 metre mark.

Light Magic, trained at Moruya

by Greg Backhouse, scored by 3 ¼ lengths from the gutsy Drama Lodge with the Chicka Pearson trained Bimbi Town in third placing. Shortstay, trained by Georgie Boucher from Jindabyne, and the winner of the same race last year, was making up ground late to finish in fourth placing.

Racing in the district continues with the Adaminaby Cup racemeeting on November 17. The feature race will prize-money of $14,000 and the five supporting races will have purses of $6500.

The Cooma Cup and Sundowners Cup, both with prize-money of $12,500, will be held on December 1.

on the Monaro

One of the biggest crowds in many years gathered in warm and sunny conditions at the Bombala Racecourse on Saturday to enjoy country racing at its best.

In the feature event, the $12,000 Dongwha Timbers Bombala Cup, it was the Rado Boljun trained Outside who was successful. Ridden by Kevin Sweeney, Outside beat his rivals out of the gates but the experienced Sweeney allowed Casanova from gate five to take the early lead with Trescorpioni also going forward.

As they climbed the hill,

Trescorpioni took the lead from Casanova, whilst Sweeney on Outside remained midfield on the rail until allowing his mount to press forward to catch the leaders just before entering the straight. In the final 200 metres, Outside rounded up Trescorpioni to win with ease by 1 ½ lengths.

Trescorponio battled on well for second placing and Back to Zero, last year’s Bombala Cup winner trained by Barbara Joseph and Paul Jones, finished third, a head margin behind.

Sebony, now a nine year old, a prolific winner of local cup races,

including the 2010 Bombala Cup, finished a close up fourth.

Rado Boljun trains the winner in Canberra for his daughter Mary.

In his acceptance speech, Rado thanked the veteran Sweeney for his “perfect ride” and comically encouraged him to have more of them.
