Chairman of Tourism Snowy Mountains, David Sheldon, has welcomed the announcement by the NSW Legislative Council for an ‘Inquiry into Tourism in Local Communities’. ‘Inquiries such as the one announced by the Legislative Council can only been seen as beneficial to the state, the Industry and communities at large,’ stated Mr Sheldon. Mr Sheldon added: ‘The Tourism Industry is one of NSW’s Economic Drivers and this was reinforced just recently by the National Visitor Survey results that highlighted regional Australia contributed 51 percent to the nation’s domestic overnight expenditure. In dollar terms, that is $25.6 billion for the year ending December 31, 2012, with regional NSW contributing 61 percent to our total. I believe the Inquiry will not only show the strength of the Industry in NSW, economically, but also parlay into tourism’s valued role as a major contributor to the social fabric of communities and the benefits thereof. ‘Although I welcome the inquiry and see the benefits I do question the timing. For a period of time the Industry was somewhat in a standstill mode with the Government’s roll out of the Visitor Economy Taskforce, an initiative specifically

designed to gather and harness information on the Tourism Industry for recommendations to be put to Government. This was completed late last year with the Government and Destination NSW rolling out a vastly improved funding structure in March this year for Regional Tourism Organisations within NSW. The funding structure, a commitment for three years, was increased by $6 million dollars and the criteria for applications i n c l u d i n g Industry sectors has widened considerably. The NSW Government believe the success of the new structure relies heavily on the RTO’s engaging in a comprehensive Destination Management Plan. Such a process, if undertaken correctly, a warts and all approach will drill down and address the many issues within the inquiry as to the contribution the Industry make to Local Communities. The Destination Management Plan was an initiative from the Department of Energy Resources and Tourism in conjunction with the Australian Regional Tourism Network. The DMP is a process to assist industry to grow and operate efficiently while garnishing wider Community understanding and involvement,’ concluded Mr Sheldon.

CATALOUGE Massive search to find bushwalker SALE EXTENDED Wednesday May 29, 2013

At the time of going to press, a search continues for a bushwalker missind in Kosciuszko National Park. Canadian National Prabhdeep Srawn went to Kosciuszko National Park on Monday May 13 intending to go for a bushwalk. He parked his car in the Charlotte Pass Village. It is believed he intended to walk from Charlotte Pass Village to Mt Koscuiszko and then to another unknown mountain nearby. He has not been seen or heard from since. His rental vehicle was due to be returned on Wednesday May 15. When it was discovered he was missing a largescale search operation was conducted in the areas surrounding Mount Kosciuszko. On Saturday May 25 police and emergency services crews concentrated their search efforts on the north-western side of the main range, including the flat at Moira and around the Geehi River. Teams searched the western face of Mount Kosciuszko and ground crews looked between Charlotte Pass and Blue Lake. On Sunday 26 May a total of 28 personnel from NSW Police Force, Australian Federal Police, Victoria Police, State Emergency Service (SES) and National Parks and Wildlife Service searched with no luck in finding the man. Specialist alpine-trained rescuers were airlifted into six areas above the snow line. Crews also searched one area below the snow line and five kilometres along both banks of the Snowy River. The search resumed on Monday with personnel from NSW Police Force, Australian Federal Police (AFP), Victoria Police, National Parks and Wildlife Services (NPWS), State Emergency Service (SES) and NSW Ambulance Service. The Police Airwing and Westpac Rescue Helicopter were also involved in the search with alpine trained officers from NSW Police, AFP and Victoria Police being flown into the more isolated and rugged areas. Search efforts focussed on the ridgelines east and

west of Lady Northcott Canyon as well as the lower levels of Mt Townsend, Muellers Pass, Muellers Peak, Abbott Ridge and Abbott Peak. Mr Srawn is described as being of Indian appearance with a tanned complexion, medium build and short dark hair. He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans. Police also believe he may be wearing a red and black “Frogg Toggs� ski jacket. The body of the jacket is described as being red with a black hood and shoulder section. Mr Srawn is reported to be an armed forces reservist and it is alleged that he has been trained to survive in freezing temperatures. Police are still treating the operation as one of search and rescue. Anyone with information about this incident should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. House fire A house and a pet dog were destroyed in a fire on Towerang Vale Road last Tuesday. The Cooma Rural Fire Service, police, ambulance and Cooma Fire Brigade all attended the fire at about 4.45pm. When crews arrived, the fire had already caused significant damage and despite best efforts the emergency services were unable to save the building. The house was unoccupied at the time of the fire. An investigation into the fire is underway. Pictured, the search from the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter.

This is an important annual campaign that aims to encourage more young Australians to read and enjoy books. Now in its 13th successful year it is a colourful, vibrant and fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy using an Australian children’s book that explores age appropriate themes and addresses key learning areas of the National Curriculum for Grades 1 to 6.

Pictured, Mayor Dean Lynch reads to children at Cooma Library last Wednesday. Simultaneous Storytime book was ‘The Wrong Book’ written by Nick Bland and published by Scholastic Australia. Nicholas Ickle is trying to tell a story, but he keeps getting interrupted by characters from other stories - a pirate, a queen, even some monsters! To get a chance to tell his story, he has to convince the others that they are in the wrong book. Mayor Lynch and his audience enjoyed the reading. Pictured right: After the reading, some of the children, like Josh Caldwell, were able to try on the mayor’s robes of office.

Cooma has recently undertaken a branding development exercise. The concepts were placed on display and were widely accepted by the community. The branding reflects Cooma’s position as the “Capital of the Snowy Mountains.� It also recognises that Cooma is the gateway, not only to the Snowy Mountains, but also to the Coast and the Monaro Plains and all they offer in terms of visitor experiences. It is a “Gateway to Adventure.� The branding logos are simple, yet bright and colourful, reflecting the multicultural, multifaceted offerings of the Shire. The logos have been designed to enable them to be used in a variety of forms and forums, from welcome signs, to brochures and banners, to street decorations and shop displays. Following the branding development exercise Council have assembled a Tourism Management plan to ensure that the Snowy Mountains visitor economy can develop in a sustainable manner and develop in a way that can optimise the benefits for the whole community. This Destination Management Plan outlines a path for the sustainable growth and development of the Shire’s visitor economy. It addresses our product enhancement, development and infrastructure needs as well as the marketing and promotional directions we should take. Importantly, it is recognised that the successful implementation of this plan will require a partnership approach. Council, together with its Cooma-Monaro Tourism Advisory Committee (CMTAC), local industry, local businesses, arts, cultural, heritage and environmental groups will be the driving force for the plan’s implementation. It will also be necessary to work closely with our neighbouring shires, Tourism Snowy

Mountains, Destination NSW and the Federal tourism agencies. This Destination Management Plan is designed to provide a framework in which all of the Shire’s tourism stakeholders (both internal and external) can work together in a coordinated and cooperative manner. The plan identifies the issues to be addressed and opportunities to be seized upon, looks at strategies that can be employed to ensure Cooma Monaro’s tourism sector continues to grow in a sustainable manner so that it can bring real and tangible benefits to the wider community and identifies the actions and responsibilities necessary to implement those strategies. These three parts are focused in the same three key areas: Marketing, Product Enhancement Opportunities and Coordination, Communication and Management. The tourism committee and council are also looking at the possibility of appointing an events coordinator or manager to develop, implement and coordinate strategies directed at effective branding, marketing, tourism and cross promotion strategies and programs. Mayor of Cooma Monaro and Chairman of the Tourism Advisory Committee, Dean Lynch, believes that this document is a fantastic step to help to enhance tourism in the Snowy Mountains. “This is another great outcome from the tourism committee following the branding development. It’s a great document that will be adopted by council. A big part of the document is event strategy. The committee will be consulting local figures and organisers of key events and looking at ways to enhance these events and therefore enhance tourism in the Snowy Mountains,� he said. “It’s an exciting time and I hope the community will get behind it.�

In October 1892, a one-month-old baby boy was found buried in the backyard of Sarah and John Makin, two wretchedly poor baby farmers in inner Sydney. In the weeks that followed, 12 more babies were found buried in the backyards of other houses in which the Makins had lived. This resulted in the most infamous trial in Australian legal history, and exposed a shocking underworld of desperate mothers, drugged and starving babies, and a black market in the sale and murder of children. Cossins pieces together a dramatic and tragic tale with larger than life characters: theatrical Sarah Makin; her smooth-talking husband, John; her disloyal daughter, Clarice; diligent Constable James Joyce, with curious domestic arrangements of his own; and a network of baby farmers stretching across the city. It's a glimpse into a society that preferred to turn a blind eye to the fate of its most vulnerable members, only a century ago.

The Questacon Science Circus visited Cooma on Monday, giving local school children a different look at science and also having an open night at the Multi Function Centre. Local students spent the day punching slime, propelling rockets across their class rooms and challenging their teachers to balance on light globes as part of the Science Circus’ dynamic in-school science shows.

‘In the bin’ at Cooma Public School From Page 1...

EnviroMentors, an initiative of Keep Australia Beautiful NSW is the State’s leading environmental education program for primary schools. Through curriculumlinked interactive workshops, simple yet effective messages are communicated to almost 40,000 students a year. In 2012 our education unit visited well over 300 Public, Private and Independent Primary Schools across NSW and the ACT. David Imrie, CEO of Keep Australia Beautiful NSW said the workshops are an important component Class 23W from grades two and three are pictured with teacher, Selanie Waddilove, David Patterson of Cooma-Monaro Council’s overall strategy from the Cooma Resource and Waste Management Committee and Ale Torres from EnviroMentors. to increase environmental develop a high sense of personal responsibility.� awareness in local students.

Doing business in Cooma This week Cooma Chamber of Commerce & Industry Inc announced the launch of its new website coomachamber. com.au as a further service to its members and the Cooma business community. President of the Cooma Chamber of Commerce, David Shelley, said “As more and more people utilise the Web as their first port of call in searching for products and services, places to work, live and visit, make contact with others, it is essential that as the representative body of Cooma business we put our community front of mind to the external markets.� As part of their annual membership, members of the Cooma Chamber of Commerce & Industry receive a free listing in the directory titled “Doing Business in Cooma� with links to the member’s own business website if they have one. It is essential, Mr Shelley said, that while we promote our products and services to our local (internal) and the transient market, it is even more critical that as we look to develop a stronger more sustainable business community we widen our vision to the external markets. We have some very good examples currently of local businesses whose services and products are sold far and wide such as Snowy Hydro Limited, Monbeef, SMEC, Birdsnest and more. An increase in the markets tapped into by Cooma based

businesses not only benefits the individual business, it also benefits the wider community through increased work opportunities and a lift in the standard of living locally. Mr Shelley said that while the Cooma Chamber of Commerce & Industry will continue to focus its core activities on supporting its member businesses and the Cooma business community, as is its charter, we recognise the intrinsic relationship between the underlying strength of the business community and the overall health / attractiveness of the wider community simultaneously delivered by the various social services. It is intended that the newly launched coomachamber.com. au will continue to grow, Mr Shelley said, with further offerings to its members and links to other community sites in order to support Cooma as a preferred place to live and do business. We not only want to support those businesses currently operating in and from Cooma, we also want to promote Cooma to prospective new businesses looking to establish in a regional centre who can vertically and horizontally fill gaps in our local business structure. When both locals and non-locals utilise the Web, the newly launched coomachamber.com.au will introduce another medium to draw attention to the strong offerings of Cooma and the region.

/HJLVODWLYH ,QTXLU\ LQWR 7RXULVP LQ /RFDO &RPPXQLWLHV In recognition of the region's tourism potential, there has been a lot of attention focused by Cooma-Monaro Shire Council (CMSC) and Tourism Snowy Mountains Inc. (TSM) in addressing and developing professional strategies for further developing tourism. The most recent is the CMSC’s Destination Management Plan which essentially addresses the sustainable growth and development of the Shire's visitor economy through a series of recommended strategies in a partnership approach with all stakeholders. In conjunction with Council's support, TSM is currently marketing tourism via a series of television commercials on the Snowy Mountains and the region to be a year round visitor destination. Given the vast interest in developing tourism opportunities even further at a world class standard, the NSW Parliament has established a new inquiry that will review the value and impacts of tourism in local communities across NSW. Its main aim is “to examine the value to regional, rural and coastal communities and the impacts of tourism on the local government areas in relation to infrastructure services provision and key management, social impacts, unregulated tourism and employment opportunities.� In addition, the inquiry “will investigate the marketing and regulation of tourism and evaluate the use of special rate variations by local Councils to support tourism initiatives." The inquiry is keen to hear from community and business organisations regarding the impact of tourism activities on local interests. This is a vital inquiry for the future development of tourism in our region. Given that tourism is an integrated and interconnected industry, its economic impacts flow through every sector of the community. I urge all stakeholders with interests in tourism to take advantage of this opportunity with Council in raising your concerns or initiatives required for further developing tourism product enhancement, development and infrastructure needs in our region.

Riposte the

postman calls

There is nothing like a bit of uncertainty to keep us on our toes. Will Paul Broad become the new CEO of Snowy Hydro, as the Premier announced last week, or will he not? If he is, it is hoped there will be a more unified front between the government and the corporation – surely such an announcement should have been held off until the appointment was finalised? This Saturday offers great opportunities for local retailers to sell off excess thermals, fleecies and assorted warm clothing. With heaps of people expected to visit Cooma for the CRL match, it is to be expected many of them might not be accustomed to the chilly Cooma Showground on a winter night. Beanies, anyone? It is good to see the Cooma Universities Centre is continuing to grow, with its 40th student now signed up. The recent dog attack in Sydney, where a jogger was attacked by three savage dogs, highlights once again that some people should not be allowed to own dogs. It’s easy to blame the dog breed, but ultimately, it’s the owner who is responsible for their dogs’ actions. It’s a bit late after the dogs have mauled, or killed something, though.

And here we are, only days from the real start of winter and The Postman has grown weary of frosts already...it’s going to be a looooooong winter this year....

Lisa Ashurst I came across some long forgotten bits and pieces while sorting through a box (just when I was thinking I’d unpacked everything!) that triggered a lot of recollections of pure adventure from my childhood which lead me to wondering how many kids today would be able to look back on that kind of imaginative play, or will all their memories centre around a computer? I think my cousins (who lived next door), my sister and I may have been better off because for starters, we had a chook yard. Well the roof of it actually which moonlighted in its day as a “raft” while we were in our Tom Sawyer/Huckleberry Finn phase, a “mountain” at some other stage and it made a great lookout during “wars” with the neighbourhood kids. Best plaything ever, but what really helped was our imaginations; something that seems to be missing with a lot of kids today who have every form of entertainment thrust at them to keep them happy and occupied. They don’t really have to imagine anything anymore. But anyway, two clear recollections from my early years was 1) the expedition beneath my grandmothers house in search of the bottomless well that we just knew was under there and; 2) the day we decided that the narrow passageway between Nanna’s house and the little outside toilet was in fact the doorway to the Fifth Dimension. We spent a week one school holiday on Nanna’s

Your local Award-winning newspaper back steps eyeing off that passage and speculating over what we’d find should one of us work up the courage to walk through and “enter” said Dimension. Sure kept us out of everyones hair and all that speculation left no room for squabbles. Then we all went back to school and the passageway remained untested until the next school break. My sister was holidaying with our father, the cousins were away somewhere as well and at a loose end, I ventured into the skinny space… and came out at the fence on the other side, seriously disappointed that the “doorway” had taken itself off to some other out-of-the-way spot and I had missed my chance. As for the bottomless well, that expedition eventually led to the exciting discovery of a lid from a 44 gallon drum after crawling around under the house for a couple of hours and the euphoria was almost palpable when we thought we’d really found it. The decision to drop an Arrowroot biscuit down the “well” to see what would happen was unanimous and was followed by the careful and almost reverent lifting of the lid. We were speechless with disappointment though to find solid earth beneath but that only lasted until we hit on a whole new venture. It could have been any one of several but whichever it was, it was wonderful. So, how do todays kids spend their downtime? Hope it creates some decent memories…

Cooma Universities Centre now has 40 students The Cooma Universities Centre (CUC) has enrolled its 40th student, Mrs Beth Taylor. Mrs Taylor, who lives in Perisher and works at Snowy Mountains Grammar School (SMGS) in Jindabyne, is currently studying her first year of a Masters in Primary Teaching through the University of New England. “Being able to study by distance allows me to continue with my social and home life. With the support of flexible work and experience at SMGS, I am able to further

my career in my chosen field,” Mrs Taylor said. Mrs Taylor is very excited about the prospect of utilising the CUC to assist with her studies as previously she studied from home, often having to deal with unreliable internet connection and the general distractions encountered in a home office environment. “The CUC is a quiet space away from the distractions of home where there is always something to do. The rooms are conducive to study with large desks, access to a

printer, group study rooms and a quiet main room to work in,” said Mrs Taylor. CUC Coordinator Zoe Dawson said “My target for the CUC was to have 10 students enrolled by June and we are surpassing all expectations. With 40 students already enrolled in a variety of university courses, within just a few months, we have demonstrated the need for this facility in the Snowy Mountains”. The 40 students at the CUC are currently studying through 12 different University’s across Australia in a range of

courses from under graduate in Accounting, Agriculture, Teaching, Nursing and Journalism to PhD’s in Archaeology and Political Philosophy. If you are thinking about studying at the Cooma Universities Centre, please call Zoe Dawson on (02) 6452 3368 or visit www. coomauc.com.au for more information. The Cooma Universities Centre is funded and managed by Snowy Hydro with support from the Cooma Monaro Shire Council. Pictured, Zoe Richards and Beth Taylor.

Viet Vets at MHS On Thursday May 16 Monaro High School’s year 10 modern history classes were lucky enough to listen to a talk by Vietnam Veterans and members of Vietnam Veterans Association of Australia, Greg Cant, Gary Fizzell, Vin Cosgrove and Nancy Cosgrove. The veterans shared stories, information and brought along relics and objects used in the war. The students reported that the talk was very informative and quite confronting. Some students couldn’t believe some of the conditions that soldiers survived. Modern History teacher, Krys Schouten says this annual talk adds another dimension to the year 10 Vietnam War course. “It’s really good because they give us their stories and it makes the whole syllabus really real,” she said. On Friday May 17 Year 10 attended the Australian War Memorial with the veterans who gave the students a personal tour of the Vietnam War display.

The Child Care Rebate is NOT income tested

Is he or isn’t he? Speculation about the new Chief Executive Officer of Snowy Hydro Pty Ltd was fuelled last week, when NSW Premier Barry O’Farrell announced the appointment of Paul Broad in Parliament. Mr O’Farrell was acknowledging the resignation of the Chairman of Infrastructure NSW, Nick Greiner and also that of its CEO, Paul Broad. Mr O’Farrell said “Subject to the approval of other jurisdictions, he will now become Chief Executive Officer of Snowy Hydro”. However, there has been no official announcement from Snowy Hydro or from the Victorian and Federal Governments, who must both agree to the appointment.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT AIR SCOUR BLOWER SYSTEM A new air scour blower system is being installed at The Glen Wastewater Treatment Facility. The air scour blowers are used to backwash and clean the filtration system that filters treated effluent before it is released to the environment, and will optimise the backwashing capacity of the filters

while ensuring that proper filtering of treated effluent takes place when required. Local contractors were engaged for this project and worked under direct supervision of Council staff and successfully delivered specialised components of the projects such as commercial plumbing and electrical work.

Council staff and contractors recently carried out repairs to the Rotary Oval carpark. Pictured is relocation of existing equipment to allow positioning of the new air scour b l o w e r units.

Fluoridation upgrade work has been completed at the Cooma Water Treatment Plant. The new fluoride equipment provides for a safer working environment for Council’s operators and ensures that Cooma’s water supply is receiving the prescribed

fluoride concentration in accordance Department of Health Regulations. The new equipment installation has cost $97,000 and was installed using local and external contractors along with the specialised equipment supplier.

The resource industry has slowed but the Property Market has exploded!

The Perth market has exploded. Land sales have doubled and price growth is leading the nation, challenged only by Darwin. Buyers are offering more than the asking price to secure homes. "If you want to pick a time to get into housing, you can’t get a much better time than now." John Symond, founder and chairman of Aussie Home Loans. We were in Perth last week to see the demand for ourselves, along with reaching and identifying the best Suburbs and highest quality Estates for our clients.

• Three bedrooms • Natural gas heating • Single car garage • Ideal location • Timber floors

A single carport offer undercover access to the front door while the laundry is outside but also offers covered access.

Perth Explodes Why? Three months ago we said three certainties were death, taxes – and Perth price growth in 2013. We were right.

This little beauty is ideally located within walking distance to most amenities including hospital, shops and schools. The cottage has much to offer including

Two bedrooms are generous size and have large BIW’s while the main bedroom provides access to a small private paved area at the front.

Helping YOU Prosper

After speaking to Builders, Developers, and Property Experts, there is no doubt Perth is pumping. The average houses on the market at any one time is 12,000, it is currently running at just over 6,000. Land is in major demand and to find quality land in the best estates that is registered does not exist due to the demand. One of our developers Apartment complex is in the CBD, sold 76% on the opening weekend, along with ones we sold pre-opening weekend, as many developers provide us with the opportunity for our clients before it goes live to the market. Keep this in mind when you are looking to invest in Australia’s hottest markets in the best properties for growth, rental returns, tax benefits and quality to avoid maintenance issues.

Location is Everything

Again the 76% sold on the opening weekend is proof the market is hot, another great sign is the rental market has grown by 20% in the past 12 months. While we were there last week we circumnavigated the entire Perth Region stretching 120km North to South and 30km west to east and everywhere else in between, and there is no doubt the changes are out of control since I was there 12 months ago, the city has energy, the estates are booming and the beach estates are affordable, but for how long? I’m excited for our clients that have bought quality built properties in Perth from us already and the ones in the process who live here in the Snowy region and Nationwide, great work! As I said above Perth is exploding and this is before the next big wave, as per last weeks editorial once the election is over and if Liberal get in and abolish the mining Tax Perth along with many other cities will go through the roof.

Cooma crew arrive in Perth

PARTY SUPPLIES

After Broome we travelled down the west cost of WA to Port Headland. What beautiful scenery. We had our longest day by travelling 870 km. Some of us did a detour by travelling to Karratha. We caught up with Eddie Klack, a former Cooma resident. We then went on to Dampier. The development there is quite staggering. All the homes are brand new and the roads are still under construction. This detour made the day even longer to be 922 km before we arrived in Carnarvon. Carnarvon to Gerladton via Kalbarri gave us a view of the Indian Ocean coastline. It is really beautiful. Again, if anyone wants work in construction there is plenty going on here. The scenery changes from bush land to cultivated lands. There is a lot of history here. After Geraldton we rode on to Perth along the coast road and the Pinnacles. The sea was beautifully blue, the sands white and the roads fantastic. in Perth which gave us a chance to do Dale Coyte took the opportunity to repairs, service bikes and replace tyres. catch up with Chris Mattner a former We had Otherwise we rested and took in the Cooma resident. a rest day sights of the Indian Ocean.

“4 Points Of View� – a group of local Cooma photographers, Brian Hart, Judy Goggin and Tony Sergo enrolled in a Digital Photography Course at Cooma TAFE in 2009. The lecturer on the course was Paul McIver an accomplished photographer whose work has been published extensively in newspapers, magazines and television around the world. Paul also has an extensive background in the film industry including working on “Mad Max 3�. He was a finalist in the 75th Caltex Art Prize back in 2011. Over the following few years the three students, along with countless other students doing the same course, went on a wide variety of photographic expeditions. Over this period of time, the quality of the output of these students (Brian, Judy and Tony), grew to an outstanding level and their achievements in the public domain matched these levels. Judy was a finalist in prestigious awards including the Olive Cotton Portrait Prize and the Moran Photographic Portrait Prize. She has also

entered and been successful in numerous other prestigious photographic competitions. Brian has been recording his life in images since high school and his recent outstanding work has been acknowledged by his peers winning medals in the Epson Pano Awards and the International Aperture awards. Tony was recognised for his outstanding sports photography and won first and second place in the Samsung Snapshot Competition of the Try Rugby series in 2012. Tony also photographs local Motocross, Rugby League and Rugby Union events which he displays on social media for participants and their families to view. The four photographers regularly meet as equals on field trips that document a variety of aspects of life and landscape on the Monaro. The show is called “4 Points Of View� which enables the individual photographers to showcase their contemporary images. Pictured, Gang Gang by Judy Goggin.

The cost of worms to sheep producers

Worms cost Australian sheep producers more in lost productivity than any other animal health problem, a situation made worse with drench resistance now widespread and increasing in severity in all sheep regions. While most sheep producers realise the need to reduce the impact of worms in their flocks, Mr Brown says not everyone has the right information to effectively manage worms across their operation. “The starting point needs to be an accurate understanding of what drenches work on the worms present on an individual farm, because the situation will be different for every farm,” Mr Brown said. “It is also important to adopt a holistic approach like that advocated by WormBoss, which goes beyond just rotating drenches to also consider factors such as grazing management, genetics and nutrition for example.” Novartis use WormBoss

to provide their staff with information and materials about best practice worm control; the aim is that this information then flows onto farmers at the point of sale for drenches. This year, Novartis will have distributed approximately 500 WormBoss worm control programs nationwide. A common mistake seen by Mr Brown is sheep producers rotating brands rather than active ingredients when trying to manage worm resistance, assuming the chemical groups change between brand names and manufacturers. “It is important to rotate active ingredients, not brands. There is currently an over-reliance on Macrocyclic Lactone or ML drenches because it isn’t always realised that many different brands contain this same active,” Mr Brown said. “Using new actives such as monepantel now, as part of a drench rotation program, will help to prolong the life of older actives by removing worms from treated sheep already resistant

to these older chemicals.” Drench Decision Guides are available through WormBoss and help producers assess their worm control strategy through a series of questions, before making specific drench recommendations. The WormBoss website, www.wormboss.com.au, was re-launched in late 2012 and now offers producers more tools for making drenching decisions and developing worm control programs. It provides links to leading advisers in each state as well as advice on grazing management to reduce infection, advice on breeding to increase resistance and information on the importance of nutrition to provide further protection. The WormBoss website is designed to help producers develop management plans specifically for their local environment, and access advice and worm control tools, including a database to assist with drench selection.

Cooma store cattle sale A yarding of around 900 cattle was offered at the Cooma Store Cattle Sale. The yarding consisting of cows and calves of mixed ages, PTIC cows and young first calving heifers, older steers, steer calves and heifer weaners. A sizable gathering of restockers, agents to the south, agents in the Riverina, also commission buyers were in attendance, keen to snap up good lines of cattle. Cows with calves at foot ranged in prices from $740 to $580. A pen of 20 X 20 Black Baldys cows with CAF, four-seven years, topping the market at $740 Most of the cows and calves purchased heading to Bombala and

Braidwood areas. PTIC cows mixed ages ranged from $530 - $465. (Majority heading to southern areas). PTIC Heifers 2 and 2 1/2r olds, ranging from $610 - $405 also heading to southern areas. Steers suitable for the restockers were keenly contested, majority of the steers, were not good enough for the earlier store sales in March and April. Prices ranged from $540 - $350. A pen of Hereford steers topped the market at $540, around 12 months of age. Most lots heading again to the Southern districts, or to the NSW, Riverina Area, with a limited number heading north. Weaner Heifers suitable for the restockers, buyers were keen to snap up the good lines of the Monaro bred cattle. Prices ranged from $370 - $220. A pen of eight Hereford heifers topped the market at $370, around 12 months of age. Compared to the recent calf sales in March and April, prices increased, considering the market rate. Most lots heading to Forbes, Riverina areas, and southern districts.

Schute Bell wool report The market bolted out of the blocks again this week especially for the mid micron types, only for the brakes to be lightly touched on the final day of sales. The 19 to 22 micron types after being up to 30 cents dearer on the first day of sales fell 10 cents by the close of the final day. The tail continues to wag with the Merino carding indicator dearer again this week closing nearly 20% above the corresponding period last year. Skirtings and Crossbreds also had a solid week. The Fine and Superfine types continue to remain relatively friendless with price premiums being offered way below historical averages. The suddenly out of favour Aussie dollar has continued to be sold down this week and whilst this has been somewhat beneficial to us in US dollar terms the market has remained practically unchanged over the past three weeks. 32,970 bales were sold nationally for the week with a low passed in rate of 4.8%. Major buyers included Lempriere, Techwool and PJ Morris taking over 40% of the fleece offering between them. As we said last week the small offering’s and the Aussie dollars from grace appear to be counter balancing the demand

equation. This Week’s Sales 34,735 bales are expected to be on offer nationally with 9,735 in Sydney. Schute Bell, Wool Auctions, Goddard & Monaro Wool are selling on Thursday.

Be aware of fireweed A native of Southern Africa and Madagascar, Fireweed was introduced into Australia’s Hunter Valley around 1918. From this location the weed has spread both north and south through coastal New South Wales and Southern Queensland. Status Fireweed is a class 4 weed in the Cooma-Monaro Shire. The growth and spread of the plant must be controlled according to the measures specified in a management plan published by Council. Habitat Fireweed will grow on different soil types including those with low or high fertility. Fireweed is a highly invasive plant that can rapidly colonise heavily grazed or neglected pastures, as well as cultivated or disturbed land during the autumn to spring period. Identification Fireweed is a daisy-like plant that grows 10-60cm high. The most common form of Fireweed is a low, heavily branched, annual or short-

lived perennial plant. Flowers are small, yellow and usually have 13 petals that flower mainly from April-September. The plant produces large quantities of seed over long periods, which are easily dispersed by the wind. Each flower produces between 100 and 150 seeds. A single large plant has the ability to produce around 25,000 to 30,000 seeds. Why is Fireweed a problem? Fireweed is toxic to stock as a live plant as well as in hay or silage. Fireweed contains alkaloids that cause liver damage with all parts of the plant, at all stages of growth being toxic. Prevention - What can I do? Be vigilant and on the lookout for Fireweed at all times. If you suspect Fireweed, report it to Council’s Weeds Staff immediately. Early detention and removal is vital. Seed is long lived in the soil and is produced in large quantities, so prevention of seeding is important. The key to controlling any weed population is to prevent the plants from reproducing and encourage strong competition. Extreme care should be exercised when purchasing fodder and stock from land on the NSW South Coast.

The current mob-based system of traceability for sheep and goats in NSW meets national tracing standards and Livestock Health and Pest Authorities (LHPA) vets and rangers are encouraging producers, saleyard operators and stock and station agents to partner with them in a new approach to ensure compliance. Chair of the LHPA State Management Council, Ian Donges, said they are working with all sections of the sheep industry to gather information to support the NSW case to retain the current mob-based movement system. This evidence will be provided to the Minister for Primary Industries Katrina Hodgkinson in early July in an effort to avoid the mandatory introduction of electronic tagging, or RFID (radio frequency identification) in NSW. “The aim of this new approach was to ensure traceability and to provide comparative compliance costs between the mob-based paper and electronic systems�.

PROBATE NOTICE

Stockl Signs is moving. Jeannine and Christian Stockl have been designing artwork for the region for many years – now their business has grown beyond the capacity of their premises in Bradley Street so they are relocating to Murray Street. The new premises, alongside Landmark, are literally big enough to park a bus in. Jen said the new location will be much easier for the vehicle wrap side of their business, which continues to grow. Stockls now employ four designers, plus three installers. Their work includes rebranding businesses and premises. They are able to visualise their clients requests, so they can see what the new design is going to look like before the actual work takes place. By photographing the premises and then photo-shopping the changes, the client can see and approve the design on screen. An example of this is the new-look Birdsnest Shop in Sharp Street. But it’s not just the big jobs that have made Stockl Signs so popular. They can design a new look for business stationery or, for example,

www.monaropost.com.au Cooma squash report A grade report Hillross v Paul Dyball Builders In a somewhat fractured rubber, Hillross, led by Simon White, attempted to overcome the dual adversity of a season-ending injury to Darren Davis and Andrew Egan’s sudden gaining of 5kg after a rather accident prone safari across the Simpson Desert. After Hillross’s Narelle Rosewarne dispatched John Sutton three to zero things were dampened by the loss of Davis his replacement Jack Atkinson performed exceptionally well playing up one grade to demolish Garry Cornish three to zero, especially coming back from one to eight down in the third to win 10 to nine. Unfortunately the new replacement rule applied and the win was recorded as a three to zero loss, balancing the ledger. Andrew Egan (Hillross), fresh from a three week break was well beaten by the younger, fitter and more accurate Chris Pendergast who appeared to have put his injury woes behind him to easily win three to zero. This left Simon White to try and lead Hillross to victory against Paul Dyball without conceding a game. A fiercely tight first game saw White and Dyball go point for point until seven all before Dyball won out nine to seven by superior holding onto the T. The second game was a tight 10 to nine victory to Dyball through excellent exploitation of the nick. White rallied to grab the third game nine to five by playing faster, tighter and with a spot of luck thrown in. At this stage White appeared to be gaining momentum but increased pace, some exhausting rallies and a lower mistake rate saw

Dyball clinch the fourth match nine to six and sealing the victory for his team. Special thanks go to Jack Atkinson for filling in and playing so well and best wishes to Darren for a speedy recovery and return to squash. B Grade report What an interesting night. Dome very close results with points counting in some cases. Monaro Discount Tyres 114pts def Paul Dyball Builders 113 pts – with Alex Walters def Tony Potter 3-1 but Matt Shirvington going down to John Harding 3-1. Chris tame – undefeated so far – lost to the ever-improving Larry Maat 3-2, while Steve Johnson got the better of Irene Tozer 3-0. Lyn Elton lost her first game to Annika Jones but came back to take the next three – no mean feat as Annika has been playing well. Alex Childs had yet another five-setter before def. Bryn Jones in the fifth. Helping his team Kleven Spain win against Snowy Hydro 13-8. A couple of interesting results were in the Hillross v Hydraulinks matches. Jacquie Schofield fought hard against new dad Troy Stevenson before succumbing 10-8 in the fifth, while Jason Harris did very well to defeat Tim Wassink 3-1, only one point difference in the 40-39 final score. The competition is going along very nicely – keep it up.

Good wins to Piglets

Bushpigs 69-12 winners over Crookwell

Under 10’S The Jindabyne under 10 Piglets travelled to Canberra to play Easts at a very foggy North Curtin Rugby Ground. All the Piglets played well and are starting to come together as a team. Akira Nunan made a break and a long run that led to a try. Amy Thrum and Thomas Old defended well. Player of the match was Caiden Bolitho and coaches pick was Akira Nunan. The First Tracks under 10’s won the match 31-10.

Last Saturday The Lake Jindabyne Hotel Bushpigs hosted the Crookwell Dogs at John Connors Oval in what was speculated to be a hard and heavy hit out as the game was a top of the table clash. Both teams brought a full 22 man arsenal to the pig pen with the Bushpigs being the victors 69-12. The Bushpigs set the tone from the kick off with exceptional forward play which gave the back line the width to create some real havoc for the Dogs defence. The Pigs skill and pace just too good for the boys from Crookwell. The Dogs struggled to get out of their own half and looked to kick the ball for touch and play for territory. If it wasn’t for some good scrambling defence the Dogs were imposing real danger as the Bushpigs struggled to win some of their on line outs. The crowd was well entertained in the first half as the back line scored a total of four tries, two of which were “classic” set piece tries that were purely executed. Winger Craig Dixon (MINK), outside centre Liam Pepper (Jackson Constructions), inside centre Josh Shortland (Taylor Friend) and flyhalf Jake Roarty (G Z Engineering) were the back line try scorers. Number 8 David Akkersdyk (Lake Crackenback Resort) also scored a crafty try under the uprights from the back of a centre field scrum, 15m shy of the Dogs line which gave the Bushpigs a healthy 29-0 lead after half time. The Crookwell Dogs must have been giving a “rev” up as there attitude and intent on the ball was evident in the opening stanza of the second half. After positioning themselves well in the Bushpigs half and after a few solid attempts

Under 11s On Saturday morning at 7am we left from Jindabyne and had a four and a half hour trip to Broulee. On our way there we stopped at the Bemboka pie shop and had something to eat then headed straight up to Broulee. It was a pretty good game. We won 17-5. I scored three tries. We had a deal with our coach that if we won the game we got to go to the beach for a swim. The beach did not have very big waves but it was still fun. On our way back we stopped at Subway and KFC to have our dinner. ally It was a really cool day - especially after our swim! By Ben Taylor

without super coach John Taylor and the two assistant coaches Taku and Issac aka Bangers who had senior commitments in Jindabyne on the day. The game was played in great spirit with the referee stating at the end of the game “that was the best game of Rugby I have refereed this year” It was a high scoring affair with attack being the order of the day. In the first half, Jindabyne scored four tries to two with super boot Lochie Colin converting three goals. Tries were scored by Angus Sherriff, Matt Evans and 2 tries to Liam Allen. At half time the score was Jindabyne 26 to Marist 12. The second half started at a hectic pace but Marist started to put some good backline moves together. Drew Turner scored a try along with 2 tries to Daniel Cross and Lochie kicking all three conversions. Marist came home strongly and scored 4 try’s in the second half . However when the final whistle went for full time the Jindabyne Under 15’s had won the game 47 to Marist 38. Well done to the boys who played the game with a lot of commitment and in good spirit.

at the line the pressure couldn’t be contained and Crookwell eventually put a five pointer on the board. It didn’t take long for the home team to respond as the forwards and backs worked in unison which quickly took the wind out of the Dogs sails. As substitutions were made from both teams, the impact from the bench quickened the intensity in both the breakdown and defensive lines. The two centres Shortland and Pepper both crossed for second tries, results of strong and straight forward running. Loose head prop Steven Rompannen (Vanity Hair) and fullback Matthew Caldwell (Snowy Constructions) scored great individual effort tries and second rower Ian Vagg (Jindabyne Newsagency) and reserve wing Shane Rondfelt (Marshall Batteries) were awarded tries for their efforts in backing up. Captain Jake Roarty was quoted after the game saying (he was) “really proud of the boys today, our support play and ruck support were very good this week. I thought our backs were near flawless today on the back of secure ball. Some of the lines and handling was the best I’ve seen at this club” Players player went to Liam Pepper, 3pts Andrew McDonald (Alpine Gables), 2pts Taku Taiaroa (Mountain Munchies) and 1pt to Craig Dixon. The boys would like to thank all the supporters for attending the match. The lads travel to Boorowa to take on the Goldies this Saturday and will look to keep their undefeated record in tact. The long weekend brings a round bye to the competition, but the Pigs will then be back at home on June 15 as they play the Taralga Tigers. See you all at the rugby!

Big wins to Cooma Colts away Snowy River Painting U8 The Snowy River Painting U8’s took on the Valley Dragons in Gowrie, Canberra. The whole team performed extremely well, running out winners 40 to 10. Their defensive effort was the best it’s been. Strong tackles from Louie Mould, Charlie Fleming and Jordan Williams, who led the way. Mason Turner once again had a great game, scoring three tries. Strong runs from Jack McPherson, Shane Williams, Charlie Fleming and Louie Mould earnt them a try each. Cameron Filtness was strong around the ruck, and did some solid tackles. Jacob Smith and Clayton Clarke had great games in defence and attack. Well done boys! The Maccas Award went to Jordan Williams, the weekly medal to Louie Mould, the Pizza Award to Jacob Smith, and the Chocolate Award to Cam “Grinner” Filtness.

that could have gone either way. Tries went to Jayden Williams with three and one conversion and a try to James Dyball with the conversion going to Clint Filtness. James Dyball lead the way in defence with bone crunching tackles….he was helped out by Lachlan McGufficke, Jesse Eljuga, Hudson Laird, Josh Williams and Clint Filtness. An extremely fast Jayden Williams showed how to score tries…he was also helped out by great runs from Darcy Clarke, Lane Londero, Daniel Watts, Aiden Childs and Arthur Bottom. A huge effort from all 12 boys who worked together as a team. Well done boys your first win is just around the corner. Points this week went to: Clint Filtness – 3, Jayden Williams – 2 and Hudson Laird – 1 and weekly medal awarded to Arthur Bottom.

Monaro Panel Beaters U9 Monaro Panel Beaters U9 displayed a great effort today, just going down 16-12 to Bungendore. A much improved display, after a new structure was put in place last week, it’s starting to gel nicely with all players understanding their positions and how and when to get involved and to help each other out. Cody Clarke and Barrett Bannon shared the dummy half duties, with Cody proving he has what it takes when called upon any time, which gives Barrett more opportunity for his barnstorming runs. Jonah Perea had his best game so far, highly involved with some great runs and long chases in defence. Alex Aitkenhead also had one of his best games, just getting pulled down short of the line after some long gutsy runs. James Bannon and Kristian Zusak called the plays well at first receiver, with James’ defence a standout and Kristian crossing over for three tries. Jake Maddrell and Talon Kelly also improved in confidence, both boys getting in there for strong runs; Jake through the middle and Talon out wide, both defending strongly as well. Lachlan Hemphill and Adam Constance once again proved a handful, stepping and weaving leaving the defence in two minds. Marcus Riley and Flynn Palmer always give 100 percent and this was another step in the right direction for these two smaller fellas, gaining confidence every week. Kayla Fleming again was a handful, strong running, hard tackling, always in the thick of the action and always in position. Player of the Week was Cody Clarke and McDonald’s Award went to Jake Maddrell.

Highland Ground Spreading U11 The Highland Ground Spreading U11 Cooma Colts travelled to Canberra and took on West Belconnen Gold. The boys were looking forward to continuing their good form. The game started fairly slow and after a few minutes Belconnen scored in very sloppy defence by Cooma. Cooma’s Captain Will Cahill took charge from there with some great runs and defence and lifted the boys. The boys then opened up Belconnen with Noah Saddler, Nik Zusak and Tyler Rees finding holes in the defence everywhere. James McGufficke, Ethan Connelly, Colin Kingston, Jason Kelly, Alec Miners, Eddie Clarke and Josh Sharkey displayed some great runs and defence on their line. New comers to the team Jake Galvin and Travis Kelly fitted right into with some great runs. Try scorers were Tyler Rees, Will Cahill, Jason Kelly, Jake Galvin and Ethan Connelly all scored once and both Nic Zusak and Noah Saddler scored twice. Nic, Noah, Will, Josh and Jake all kicked the goals. Thanks boys, you should be proud of your efforts so far this season. Final score Cooma 46 Belconnen 4. Main Street U12 The Main Street U12 Colts played against Valley Dragons on Sunday and won the game marginally, with the final score 10-8. The medal went to Shaylee Strickland, McDonalds award to Brendon Weston and Tourist Cafe award to Darnell Bartlett.

The boys all braved the cold conditions and came out strong to play the game. All the boys’ effort on the day was shown by the possession of the ball, as Cooma held this throughout the game. Try scorers for the day were Lachlan Inskip x 5, Jak Adams x 1, James Hill x 3 and Bill Zammit x 2. Goal kickers were Lachlan Inskip x 2, James Cahill x 3 and James Hill x 1. Thanks to League safe Pete Gersak and first aid Joe Zammit. The team welcomes new comer Damon Fanning. Thanks to our sponsor Franks Butchery. Medal awarded to Jak Adams and McDonald Awards to Dylan Elton and Damon Fanning. Service One Members Banking U15 The Service One U15’s travelled to Melba to take on the Belconnen Sharks on Sunday. The boys started strongly making some good yards down field and for the first time in what seems a very long time completed their first set convincingly. Good pressure in defence on the next set had the boys in excellent field position and Damo Hayden crashed over to get some early points on the board. From that point on the boys kept the pressure on the Sharkies with their attack and not long after the boys were in again with great foot work by Toby Williams. From there the boys kept going to have the majority of possession in the first half and went into the break 28 – 0 to the Colts. There were some home truths discussed at half time to ensure that the boys did not get too complacent. This obviously sunk in with the colts kicking off and excellent pressure forced an early turnover from the Sharkies and again gave the Colts excellent field position. However the boys did switch off for a bit in the middle of the second half and the Sharkies made some good ground up the fringes. It was only desperate defence from our forwards that saved us from becoming the first team that the Sharkies scored against. The boys got themselves back together in a flurry to finish the game on the bell with their ninth try of the day. Final score was Colts 48 Sharks 0. Whilst the score looked good, there is still much more improvement to be done. In saying that the performance was 110 percent better than the previous two weeks. Good game lads, let’s build on this and make some magic happen.

Cooma Fillies continue to impress The Cooma Fillies have maintained their undefeated record with a convincing 68-0 win over the Merimbula/Pambula/Bombala Hot Doggies on Saturday night. With only 10 Hot Doggies travelling to Cooma, and with both teams complying to the rule that in competition rounds numbers on the field would be matched, the Fillies were left with 9 players on the bench and a team-on-team-off rotation of players. Alicia Bolton got the girls underway with a powerful kick-off and after a solid defensive set, the Fillies gained good field position in the early minutes of the game. Alana Nichols continued her early season form and opened the scoring from 10m out to kick-start the Fillies attacking campaign. Bolton broke through the line shortly after, and crossed under the posts, before Kristy Nichols extended the lead with her own try from a break out wide. Jade Lee got her first of the day shortly after in typical fashion, and while the Hot Doggies were gutsy in both attack and defence, errors in their own half became their worst enemy. Michelle Russell’s show and go was a crowd pleaser and while Patrice

Ingram, Teresa Dunn and Danielle McGufficke defended strongly, Bombala were kept quiet. Abby Schofield continued the barrage of tries and showed her attacking prowess with a try of her own, while she continued to hit the ball up with flair. With instruction from coach Craig Schofield to test out a few new plays, Bolton made the call with only a minute remaining on the clock before half time and from the set play, Meg Bracher crossed the line but had the foresight to pass back in field to Georgie Clarke who planted the ball closer to the posts. At half time the score read 32-0 and the Fillies were looking comfortable. Kristy Nichols took the ball from the restart and with support play from Kirrily Carberry and the hardworking Cassandra Pinner, set

the scene for Jade Lee to continue the point scoring onslaught, collecting a pin point accurate kick from Alicia Bolton. Tracy Frazer had the crowd on their feet, taking an intercept at the half way line and racing down the sideline, only to be caught by Hot Doggies cover defence. Brianna von der Burg continued the attack shortly after, proving that no matter how short the legs, it’s most definitely how you use them on the field, speeding past defence. Maree Ingram defended with vigour, and following this, Anna Steel put Lee through a hole from a set play, who sped away for her third try. Line breaks from the Hot Doggies were pounced on quickly by the Fillies and the girls

showed good support in defence. Monique Ingram capitalised from a Hot Doggies error on their try line to extend the lead, before Kristy Nichols found Von der Burg open on the flanks who gained her second. Jade Lee rounded out the day’s scoring efforts with another length of the field try which gave her 5 for the day and brought the final score to 68-0. While the Fillies comfortably held Bombala out, upcoming tests of their capabilities will give the girls an indication of what they still need to work on. They play the representative side from Group 10 in a demonstration game on Saturday as part of the Country Championships at the Showground, before meeting Bega in Bega on the long weekend. Points this week went to Cassandra Pinner (3), Alana Nichols (2) & Jade Lee (1) with Tracy Frazer awarded Players’ Player. Cooma Fillies 68 (J. Lee, 5, B. Von der Burg, 2, A. Nichols, A. Bolton, K.

Red Devils u/12s victorious Chris Anthony - 2013 NSW Formula The Cooma Red Devils U12 took on Grammar at Rotary on a glorious sunny morning. The boys from Grammar were only able to muster 13 players for the day, so showing great sportsmanship, the Red Devils only fielded 13 to keep the game even. The lads started very strong getting to the breakdown and clearing out well to streak out to a 22-0 before the boys from Grammar could cross the line late in the first half. However the boys bounced back quickly and crossed the line once more to go into the break 27-5. The second half started with both sides trading possession before the big strong Grammar forwards got on top of the Devils

pack and put on a few quick tries. However the boys rallied late the second half to wrestle back control of the game and a few late tries to the Red Devils saw us winners 41-19. The whole team displayed great passing and offloading, fantastic support, strong running and most importantly strong defence. Try scorers on the day were: Sam Larrit – 1, Bailey Rogers – 2, Nick Cootes – 1, Archie Allen – 1, Keegan Caldwell – 1 and Remy Oldrey – 1. Conversions: Archie Allen – 2 and Remy Oldrey – 1.

Wests began to show why they are leading the competition and scored five unconverted tries to lead 25-12 at the break. Cooma had chances with ball at hand but Wests were to skilled

at the breakdown and added two more unconverted tries making it 35-12. A great long range try to Will was justice for a determined team effort. Wests scored on full time to finish 40-17. This game was closer than the score indicated and the team is gaining experience and confidence every week. Points- Angus Schofield 1, Aramis Fitzgerald 2, Luke Fitzgerald 3 and the Capital dial a pizza went to Harry litchfield.

Anglo and Hugh has really worked hard to get me ready to run and I am happy with my performance so far. I have some tough competition in Trent and David, so I had to quickly learn the ropes. I am lucky to have been in the mix right from the start. I’m stoked with my first race win and the consistency throughout the weekend. Chris would like to acknowledge & thank the following people for their support, without their support he would not be able to race. My major sponsor Betta Home Living; my other sponsors I.T All-Over, Mitre 10 Cooma, Bellissima, Frank’s Butcher, Allan & Catherine Dodd and Monaro Discount Tyres plus All the Cooma local businesses who have backed me and for their support.

No-one can remember ever beating the Blues at Cootamundra and to come so close, it would have been great to come away with a win. “But, that said, they normally flog us and that didn’t happen this time so we have to be happy with that,� he said. The Cats are sitting just outside the top five in sixth spot on the ladder as we approach the halfway point of the season, and still have a sniff of finals football in September.

There will be four high quality games on To the Blue dogs credit they crossed for a Pambula Bombala side on Saturday and couple of tries in this half but further tries to the day with a number of Stallions featured came away convincing winners 70 – 14. The Blue dogs side were depleted through injuries and although tried hard all day were no match for the Stallions. The game started well for Cooma with Sam Gilbert crossing after just three minutes. The try feast continued for the next 20 minutes with further four pointers to James Boller, Andrew Boller, Zach Smith two tries to Cory Thomas, and a three try feast to Sam Dowsett leaving the score at half time to 48 – 4. The second half became a slog as the cold

It helped that Cooma was playing at home first game back against arch rivals Yass. Second grade took to the field with a full strength side ready to make up for their loss against Yass in the first round. Cooma started slowly and for the first 10 minutes both sides were sorting each other out and trying to find weakness in each other’s defence. Yass was the first side to post points when they scored out wide after their winger was able to grab a grubber kick that bounced at a right angles to the Cooma cover defence, giving Yass a 5-0 lead. This spurred Cooma into action and from the kick off they were able to create a turn over and after the forwards were able make some good metres, quick ball allowed the backs to spread the ball wide and James Boo Ewart was able to score out wide. Nathan Boate was unable to convert but Cooma was starting to dominate play. After winning a penalty from a Yass indiscretion, Cooma got a scrum and from the scrum win Nathan Boate was able to draw Yass’s defence and turn Neil Schouten back under him for Neil to score under the posts untouched. Boate was able to convert to give Cooma a 12-5 lead. The Red devils the forwards were setting a good platform which allowed for quick ball, which allowed the two Schouten brothers to make easy metres through the middle. They were then able to link up with their back three and this saw Ben Rolfe use his strength to crash over for Cooma’s third try. Boate was unable to convert but Cooma had started to create a good lead 17-5. Cooma continued its dominance and again the forwards set a good platform for the backs. Ben Schouten was able to get outside his opposite number, draw the winger and put Boo Ewart over for his second try of the afternoon. Boate converted and Cooma had a good lead 24-5 with three minutes before half time. Cooma was again able score - this time Reece Masdon was able to grab a ball that shot out of a scrum and ran 40 metres down the blind side to score to give Cooma a 29-5 lead at half time.

But Yass kept turning away Cooma’s attacking raids or Cooma would make a silly mistake and allow the pressure off. Yass was playing the percentage game and kicking to play field possession. From this field position Yass was able to post first points for the afternoon. Ben Rolfe busts his way through the Yass defence to score a try last Cooma’s forwards were making good metres Saturday. with Chris de Rooy, Andrew Rolfe and James Strange making good metres around the edges of the ruck. Cooma was unable to get any advantage of this good forward play and Yass was very effective at the break down by either pinching the ball or just holding it in to slow Cooma’s quick ball. Cooma was able to finally post points after Will Nichols made a clean break. With only the fullback to beat, Will took him on and went around him only for the fullback to run him down and tackle him on the try line. Will did not panic and was able to get a pop pass back on the inside to the ever present Pat Egan who scored an easy try, Ryan Morgan missed the conversion but Cooma was back in the game. Cooma was able to score again right before half time when a kick on the Yass try line went straight up in the air. Pat Egan was able to run through punch the ball back and The ever-present Pat Egan for First grade. then have the awareness to dive on the loose ball and score his second.

Maureen D’Amico, Olga Jebbink and Paul Cannell made a good start against Keith Goodwin, Renate Winckel and Nelson Wallace but later fell by the wayside to go down 27 to 10. Max Povey, Richard Nichols and Denis Steinfort trailed Paul Schulz, Daphne Buckley and Don Jarvis six to 10 after nine ends but then skipped away to eventually win 24 to 19. Bowlers will be happy to hear that Peter Harris is up and about, although still in hospital, following a hip operation. Commencing next Saturday June 1, bowls will start at 12.30pm with names to be in to the Club by 11.30am, so now all bowls will commence at 12.30 until further notice.

Major rugby league games this weekend Thousands of people are expected at Cooma Showground this Saturday for the first round of the 2013 Senior NSW Country Rugby League Championships. Eight teams and a total of 200 players and officials will be flocking to Cooma Showground with thousands of spectators also expected. After missing out on hosting this year’s City vs Country Rugby League match, Cooma has had a major success in securing games in the 2013 Senior NSW Country Rugby League Championships. While it may not be the Country vs City match that Cooma had originally hoped for last year, Cooma Stallions Rugby League Club President Craig Schofield says it’s the next best thing and it will be a great event for rugby league in southeast NSW and also in the town. Representatives from Country Rugby League came to inspect Cooma Showground last year for the City vs Country match and they were very impressed with the venue. “Unfortunately Cooma missed out on the City vs Country game but CRL representatives thought they would give us a go with the first round of the championships,” said Mr Schofield “There hasn’t been this kind of high quality football played in Cooma for over 40 years.” The showground is well equipped to host the event with all the facilities as well as the new scoreboard and goalposts. At this point there have been five Cooma Stallions players selected to play for Group 16 however Mr Schofield says that number could easily change by Saturday. Ex-Cooma local professional players, Kyle Lodge and Stuart Flanagan are also expected to be making an appearance. Kyle and Stuart have played professional

Rugby League in teams such as the Canberra Raiders, St George, the Manly Sea Eagles, the Roosters, the West Tigers and the Cronulla Sharks. Both players still have family in the area and are extremely excited to return to their hometown. However, Stuart says he’s definitely not looking forward to the cold conditions and recalls having ice burns on his knees when he used to play league at Cooma Showground as a child. Stuart’s advice to younger players in Cooma wanting to make it as a professional is to simply “listen to your coaches and take on any advice that you can.” Kyle hasn’t played on Cooma turf since he was 15 and is looking forward to returning home. He has very fond memories of his first 11 years playing Rugby League in Cooma and can remember catching the bus to Canberra with the Cooma Colts under 16’s with only nine players. He said he wouldn’t be the player he is today without those first 11 years in Cooma. Kyle’s advice to younger players is to “just stick with it and don’t give up. It’s a cut throat industry and you have to be passionate about it to make it as a professional.” The teams in the Championships are divided into two tiers. In tier one, Cooma will host the match between Canberra and Illawarra with Central Coast up against the Western Rams. Group 6 will face Group 20 in the other tier two match. “Members of the Cooma Community are providing a barbeque, bar and kiosk. Hopefully we’ll put on a good show,” said Mr Schofield. “Those who want to watch some high

quality Rugby League in Cooma definitely shouldn’t miss out on this.” Country Rugby League are also holding a meet and greet night at Cooma ExService’s Club on Friday starting at 7pm. Alan Tongue will be the master of ceremonies and Sam Williams and Brett White may be making an appearance. Local figure Ross Johnson will also be speaking about the history of Rugby League in the area. Ross is a former player, official and president and life member of Cooma Rover Football Club. All the players will be there and it’s a great chance for members of the community to meet some of their football heroes before the games on Saturday. Mayor Dean Lynch, who is also vice president of Group 16 rugby league and the Cooma Stallions and on the committee of Country Rugby League, is extremely excited about the event. “It’s great to see eight of the best teams in the state playing in Cooma and I ask everyone to come and have a look. The appearance of ex-Cooma locals Kyle Lodge and Stuart Flanagan will be a huge highlight of the day and another highlight is the Cooma Fillies tag team playing against a team from away,” he said. Cr Lynch said the Cooma Visitor’s Centre has co-sordinated with CRL for accommodation for players and council would ensure the grounds were up to standard for the game. “Overall there will be a great mix of the best blokes and the best women in the region and it’s not to be missed! “I’m all about encouraging these kind of events in Cooma. It helps the local economy and lifts the profile of rugby league in our area and in south east NSW.”
