SNOWY SCHEME MUSEUM

OFFICIAL OPENING

Governor General opens museum Last Saturday, October 15, saw a much-anticipated occasion for Adaminaby when the Snowy Scheme Museum was officially opened by the Governor General of Australia, Quentin Bryce, AC A crowd of nearly 2000 people attended, including several former Snowy workers.

It was nearly 62 years to the day from the first blast to begin the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme, on October 17, 1949 by then Governor General Sir William McKell.

The museum houses an extensive collection of equipment and artefacts from the construction of the Snowy Scheme.

It began with the first purchases from the Kennedy Brothers dispersal sale in 2002.

Since then it has grown to include items offered by Snowy Hydro, SMEC, the Powerhouse Museum and local contributors.

Inaugural chairman of the Snowy Collection Committee, Jill Madew, outlined the struggle the committee has had since 2002 in achieving its goal. Funds were raised through government grants and donations, with more than $100,000 raised through the Adaminaby Op Shop and its volunteers.

Mrs Madew said the museum, which now consists of

Graeme Rochfort worked on the Snowy from Cooma to Khancoban.

Below: Don Mahoney (Ex Snowy1954-58) from Orange with Rev. Owen Davies from Snowy Mountains Church.

“three tin sheds because that’s all we could afford” would eventually all be under one big roof.

In her speech, the Governor General paid tribute to the Snowy Scheme and its assimilation of overseas workers into the local community, She said apart from the engineering aspect of the Snowy, the new migrants added to our culture – “How can we ever thank them for enriching our nation?

They helped us learn to embrace difference and to start our own journey towards multiculturalism.

Our palates were awakened: garlic and gherkins, pasta and paprika, black bread and borscht, sauerkraut and sour cream.

So foreign to our largely Anglo-Saxon diet, as were the languages and customs. Friends, this Museum will house the stories and the memorabilia of the 25 year life of the Snowy Mountains Scheme. The people who gave their all to the project. Some who died and some who were injured during construction. For many workers, and perhaps some of you here today, it was a deeply personal journey to a far-flung part of the world. An escape from oppression on the one hand, but also a leaving behind of family and tradition on the other. Such sacrifice must have taken great

inner strength and courage. Australian society is richer for your contribution. We thank you. Friends, this Snowy Scheme Museum is the culmination of years of work by many, many people. Unpaid work – I am sure!”

After a tour of the museum, the Governor General enjoyed a multicultural lunch at Adaminaby Bowling Club before joining Monaro women at ‘Hazelwood’, to celebrate International Rural Womens Day.

Our Bev graduates

New book for Charlotte Former Cooma journalist Charlotte Wood has just released her fourth novel “Animal People”.

The book was launched in Sydney last week by Sydney author and journalist Malcolm Knox.

This is Ms Wood’s first novel since she released ‘The Children’ in 2007.

While it has taken about three years to complete, Ms Wood took time out during the process to edit a collection of short stories in “Brothers and Sisters”.

‘Animal People’ is her first attempt at comedic writing and is set in eth day in the life of Stephen, a character from her previous novel.

Stephen is, Ms Wood says, “a bit of a drifter, a lost soul sort of a bloke who has no drive.

“His mother tells him ‘ you have a good brain, I just wish you would use it’.

Stephen works in a zoo as a sandwich hand and on the day the book is set, he has decided to break up with his girlfriend, right after her little girl’s birthday party that afternoon.

Into the story is woven the relationships of urban dwellers with their pets, a disastrous “team-building” exercise for Stephen, a child’s birthday party which goes horribly wrong.

Asked about the animal theme Charlotte relates the tale of the shop near here which sells ‘toys’ for pets, like clothing and even CDs for cats.

She believes country people are much more grounded in their relationships with animals and that while we can all love our animals, humans are also capable of brutalising them as well.

Animal People has received some excellent reviews, with John Purcell of Booktopia stating “I loved Animal People. I’ve read it twice. And may read it again. It is so difficult to review a book which has so much to offer with each new read. It is as though Charlotte Wood had written an encyclopaedic multi volume chronicle of our times and then had whittled it down to its essentials, before crushing the remnants into a paste, and pressing this essence into an engaging narrative. I can’t recommend Animal

Bev Alcock is pictured with the deputy chancellor of the University of Canberra.

Author Charlotte Wood started her writing career as a journalist in Cooma.

People highly enough. I think society would be a better place if more people read Charlotte Wood.”

Animal People is published by Allen and Unwin and retails for $29.95.

Charlotte is now preparing to publish a non-fiction book of cooking which is due for release in April.

She has a beautiful soft nature, is obedient, very affectionate, house trained and gets on well with other dogs and poultry.

Shadow is a playful, fun loving girl who loves her exercise and would love to be part of an active family.

Centennial Park was a venue of celebration last Friday when Cooma Visitors Centre celebrated its 50th anniversary.

Councillors and council staff, past and present Visitors Centre workers and members of the community joined in the celebrations.

CVC Manager, Donna Smith, welcomed everyone and gave a few words on the CVC’s history. Current staff of the centre decked out in 1960s clothing to bring back a touch of the era when the centre first opened.

Mayor Dean Lynch congratulated the CVC and talked of the importance on what they do for tourism in the area.

Peter Cochran recited the Man from Snowy River and a quote: ‘Look back at our struggle for freedom, ‘Trace our present day’s strength to it’s source; ‘ And you’ll find that man’s pathway to glory ‘ Is strewn with the bones of the horse. ~ Author Unknown’ The main street was decorated with antique vehicles from members of the Cooma-Monaro Historical Automobile Club.

First place in the lucky door prize, went to Mrs Pat Hain and second place was Ged Ball who won a large soft toy wombat.

Mrs Hain is the widow of former alderman Lindsay Hain, the driving force behind the creation of the CVC. Unfortunately, the centre’s longest serving manager, Cleve Maher could not be present due to ill health.

A writing competition for school age children was also held where students were invited to write 50 words or less on why they love Cooma.

The winners were: 4-7 years – 1st Lauren Chenery, 2nd Ebony Baker.

8-10 years – 1st Nyah Baker, 2nd Jana Munclinger, 3rd Matilda Thomas; 11-14 years – 1st Zoe Fraser, 2nd Amy Grose, 3rd Tom Tugwell.

NSW Planning System Review Cooma Community Forum We all care about the neighbourhoods, regions and communities in which we live but many of us don’t stop to think about the system used to make planning decisions that build and strengthen these areas.

The NSW Government is creating a new planning system. We need your ideas to establish the principles and objectives that should form the bedrock of any new system.

We are keen for anyone interested to attend an open forum to speak with Tim Moore and Ron Dyer, the Review joint Chairs, at:

which eliminates cables while monitoring the patient.

It can be submerged in water, allowing expectant mothers to relax in a bath, and is also portable, so women need not be confined to the labour ward bed.

The auxiliary is currently raising funds to pay for a new birthing bed for the maternity unit of the hospital, which they have ordered and will soon arrive at the hospital.

The birthing bed will be a wonderful addition to the unit as the old bed is more than 30 years old.

Thursday, 27 October 2011 3pm - 5pm 6pm - 7:30pm Together we can make a difference!

Last Thursday, October 13, the United Hospital Auxiliary Cooma branch presented a Telemetry Cardiotocography (CTG) machine to the local maternity ward.

The machine, valued at $14,863, was also paid for using funds from the capsule account in the maternity section of the hospital.

Use of the CTG allows monitoring of a baby’s foetal heart rate and the mother’s contractions during labour.

It provides a picture of the baby’s wellbeing and alerts to any signs of distress during labour.

The CTG is a new-age advancement in foetal monitoring,

Nimmitabel needs water, not reports the

postman calls

Well, that was a pretty salubrious start to the Snowy Collection Museum last Saturday.

Almost 62 years after the Snowy Scheme was started by Sir William McKell, our current GG was on hand to do the honours.

It was great to see all the old hands there, too. As father Time marches on, occasions like this will become a rarity.

Congratulations to all the hard workers who made the museum happen. Well done all.

While we are celebrating our local multiculturalism, our “rulers” continue to lurch from one debacle to another in dealing with illegal immigrants and/or asylum seekers.

Our community is a wonderful example of how different people can live together in harmony and enhance their collective community. But there needs to be a willingness for that integration to happen before it can be successful.

Trying to overthrow the existing culture, or imposing a radically different one, is a recipe for disaster.

Luckily, our community has grown richer for the introduction of different tastes, fashions and customs and not at the expense of our own.

For all the carers out there - the Snowy Respite Service will conduct a free information morning in Centennial Plaza, Cooma, tomorrow.

Information will be available on services which can be provided and carers can enjoy a free morning tea courtesy of NSW Carers, Australia. It’s all part of Carers Week.

While the Monaro might be extending the scale at each end at present, from minus five to 20 degrees, there is something we should be aware of - it’s snake season and they are about. Take care and remember - snakes are protected.

Editor, I read the published report in the Monaro Post (24 Aug 2011) “Nimmitabel Town Water solution still in the Pipeline”. I sincerely don’t know how to express in words ,the shock and horror that in the 21st Century a town of Nimmitabel’s size has been without a constant supply of reticulated water for so long; the following words come to my mind; disaster, debacle, cataclysm, calamity, catastrophic. Is Nimmitablel in Somalia?

The Babylonians and Romans didn’t treat their people like that, the Babylonians invented the keystone in arches to cover their Canal system to protect the water for drinking. The Romans built aquaducts to supply drinking water. Water pipes and pumps were invented much later, but the Romans had to contend with bureaucrats and dealt with them-” finem facere ad hic calamitas - it means put an end to this calamity! Councillors have promised uninterupted Water supply on several occasions, result nil. I remember sums of more than $25,000 were spent on feasibility studies; this money would have built part of the dam or at least it would have been a good start.

Does anyone remember the Adaminaby water supply hold ups and delays due to possible fauna and flora, threatened species, land disturbance, biodiversity et al; caused by the supposed impact of excavation work required? The Adaminaby Water Supply was being held up because of the problem of the possible excessive excavation

works required and the affects on bio-diversity. I did some calculations at that time of the excavation area requirements which did not tally with the grossly overstated Departmental figures, but which were identical to the Shire Engineers and reported them in the Press and to the Snowy River Shire Engineer at that time.

Our State Member then got onto things and the wheels of progress started moving the next day.

Now we are once again waiting for our Federal and State MP’s to get the wheels of progress working and talk to the Butcher in Sydney not to the Block, (DECCW Department of Environment Climate Change And Water) for instance. If the Department wants to be kept Informed perhaps they should be given a Pick and Shovel and bottle of 1 /ltr water-H2O per day to start digging the dam. That is the whole problem with this delegated machinery, invented by academic bureaucats, green orientated Departments, Authorities et al., they are morally insensitive to human suffering. If humans came under the RSPCA jurisdiction all hell would break loose! Now that the General Store in Nimmitabel has closed down suddenly how many more people will leave ? To build dams or similar structures takes willpower and muscle not reports, if it is complex you use the Engineering Critical Path Method. It is ironic in another rural paper a day after this report the Murrumbidgee CMA has > 2500/ltr. of WATER to give away.

Pianist Peter de Jager returns to Cooma

Accomplished pianist Peter de Jager is nearing the end of his second year of a Bachelor of Music at the University of Melbourne, majoring in composition.

In August this year, aged only 22, Peter beat other Australian and international competitors to take out the top prize in the International Chopin Piano Competition. And, not only did he win First Prize, but he was also awarded the People’s Choice Prize, the awards for Best Performance of the E Minor Concerto and Best Performance of a Chopin Nocturne or Etude, the Best Performance of a Mazurka and Best Performance of the Roger Smalley Variations.

Fifteen years ago Peter and his family were residents of Cooma, where Peter and his sister attended Cooma North Primary School. His mother Helen taught piano through Cooma School of Music.

“It was obvious from a very early age that Peter was a gifted child with a remarkable musical talent,” Allan Spencer of the School of Music said, “He was totally in love with the piano.”

In 1997 the de Jager family moved away from Monaro. In Melbourne, Peter continued his study of the piano and achieved his Licentiate of Music at the age of just 11.

The Licentiate is considered the highest diploma awarded by the Australian Music Examinations Board, and is rarely achieved by anybody aged below adulthood, often taking many years of study.

Snowy Monaro Arts Council is very proud to welcome Peter’s return to Cooma, when he gives a recital on Sunday November 6 at 3pm, at St Paul’s Anglican Parish Hall. Tickets for the performance are available from The Fabric Salon and at the door prior to 3pm.

Nursing students bid farewell

News 9 HAMPTONS-STYLE DECORATING

By Sally Ann Cottle WHERE TO START COLOUR PALETTE A true Hamptons home should have a lovely subdued colour palette. Greyish blues, mineral greens, sandy beiges. These colours relax you the moment you walk through the door, and that’s what people expect from a Hamptons house: to be relaxed.

WALLS AND FLOORS In more formal houses, use a darker ebony brown timber floor for that classic Hamptons estate house look. For a more casual beach house, I like limed timber or even white painted wood floors for a fresh, beachy look.

LIGHTING Lighting is a great opportunity to have some fun. Oversized drum shades in fun colours work well.

Nursing students, Margaret and Stella, are pictured outside Sir William Hudson Memorial Centre.

After two months of placement, nursing students Margaret Byrne and Stella Okoro bid farewell to the staff and residents of Sir William Hudson Memorial Centre last week.

The two women are both third year nursing students at the University of South Australia in Adelaide and were undertaking their final specialty nursing placements at the local nursing home, concurrently with the interprofessional learning (IPL) project.

Funded by the Department of Health and Ageing, the IPL project, also known as the “Hubs and Spokes” program, is a joint initiative between the Australian National University and the University of South Australia.

The program is supervised by Dr Rob Wiles of Sharp Street Surgery, and brings together undergraduate students from different health science disciplines to learn together while working on a project of relevance to the host community.

“Aged care is my chosen nursing specialty,” student, Margaret Byrne, said.

Her last placement was in intensive care so this placement has been more beneficial.

When asked what she liked about working in aged care, with much thought, Marg responded, “I guess it’s because ageing is what happens to everyone. It is normal. This is what happens. It is real!”

“It’s all about making the residents’ last years

as comfortable and dignified as possible.”

Marg said that if she ends up in a nursing home she hopes she’s in one like Sir William Hudson.

“It’s really fantastic here, top class!”

Stella Okoro is an international student from Nigeria who has been living and studying nursing at UniSA for the past two years.

“Working in Cooma has been an ideal project,” Stella said.

“It’s been a good opportunity to work in other disciplines and see them all working together.”

Although she is heading towards working in mental health, ideally Psychogeriatrics, this area [aged care] has its links because of the various dementia cases.

Konrad Reardon from ANU has been based in Cooma all year and has also been involved in the IPL project. Hailing from Cairns, Konrad is already a qualified pharmacist now making the transition to becoming a doctor and will finish up his time here in November.

The students all agreed that the people and medical professionals in Cooma have been wonderfully kind and helpful during their stay.

“We have been so warmly welcomed everywhere we go,” Marg commented.

“The health professionals in the region have been so friendly and willing to give their time and share their knowledge with us.” “We can’t thank them enough!”

Never Ending Memories

giftwear & collectables

ESSENTIAL PIECES Curtains can be stunning in more formal houses, but if you want to use them in a casual beach house, you have to know how to do it. Stay with natural textiles like linen without too much fullness. Roman blinds give a cleaner, more tailored look. For beds, I suggest an upholstered bedhead.

You can make a statement with the fabric and pattern as it adds a lovely soft finish to the room and is always the more comfortable option. For furniture, use natural wood tones evocative of driftwood, white-painted furniture works too, but mix it with natural timber for a more relaxed look.

WHAT TO AVOID Too much clutter! Keep it open, fresh and clean. If you are going to use decorative touches, don’t overdo the seaside/seashell touches – a little goes a long way. Keep it in context. If your home is by the sea by all means use them but make it subtle. The Hamptons look is all about creating a relaxed, understated look with a bit of fun. That’s why people go there after all!

Snowy history comes to Cooma Monaro Railway Cooma Monaro Railway last week took possession of a piece of Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Authority history when the powder van used to carry explosives, arrived in Cooma.

The van was found at Thirlmere about two years ago in a dilapidated condition.

It was taken to Eveleigh where it was restored at the Apprentice Training Annexe.

It left Sydney on the back of a truck on Wednesday morning and early on Thursday, was carefully lowered onto the tracks near the former goods shed.

It took two cranes from Cooma Cranes to lift and lower the van.

From then it was all man power to push the van into position.

There will be an official opening of the van at a date to be announced, but it is a wonderful addition to the collection which is growing at Cooma railway Station.

The van was thought to have

been built in the early 1940s. A compliance plate states “Robert Kilborn Ltd – regents Park Auburn NSW. Rolling Stock manufacturer est1910” From the outside, the van looks like something from an old movie – painted black, with a big EXPLOSIVE signs on either side.

The doors are fastened with heavy railway issue padlocks, while inside the van, the timber work has been varnished.

Accompanying the van are two gun powder barrels, suitably singposted with a skull and cross bones, a few heavy detonator cases, an old bakelite detonator and the piece de resistance, an old wooden plungerdetonator.

Importantly, the provenance of the van shows it was used during the construction of the Snowy Scheme and as such, a link with Cooma’s past.

“I started praying and asked the Lord to get me through this and to show me the right way down. I then started crying.”

“I knew if I fell asleep I would be in a really bad place so I got up, stopped crying and kept moving.”

With intermittent rests, he pushed on. After sunrise, Peter decided to try his iPhone one last time to see if he could get his bearings. To his surprise it turned on so he went onto his maps application and discovered that he’d

come down the next gully over from Thredbo and all he needed to do was get to the top of the ridge and work his way back to Thredbo.

Despite having lost one of his water bottles, both gloves and a broken snowshoe, Peter kept pushing himself, waded through streams, incredibly dense bush and found himself on Alpine Way. He managed to flag down a 4WD, which stopped and took him to the village.

The medical centre was closed so he went to the ticket office.

“I went in there and alerted them that I had just spent the night on the mountain and I needed medical help urgently,” Peter said. “At this point I collapsed and three people came running over and took all my wet clothes off and got me a cup of coffee. They then took me up to the operations room where it was heated and got me some jackets and called the ambulance.”

Paramedics later confirmed that Peter had hypothermia. His feet and hands were affected the most, especially the tips of his fingers and his toes and underside of his feet.

The Thredbo operations manager reported that it was -5 degrees Celsius the night Peter was on the mountain with -15 to -20 degrees Celsius wind chill.

Arriving home from hospital at 2pm last Tuesday, Peter has spent the past week recuperating from what was a chilling experience.

“The point where it went wrong was when I took advice from someone else,” Peter reflected. “I should’ve stayed at Seamen’s Hut till the blizzard PLAY had stopped.”

NORFOLK ISLAND 24th March1st April 2012

More than 100 people gathered at Monaro Air Rifle Club on Saturday evening to celebrate the much-loved German celebration, Oktoberfest.

There was an abundance of German costumes, food catered by the Rotary Club, and music provided by the Cooma District Band, Darrell Gaukroger and John and Joan Holmes.

Best dressed female was Marion Mondello and best dressed lad was Geoff Bowland.

An exact figure of how much was raised hadn’t been calculated at time of going to press, but it is thought to be around the $1900 mark.

Everyone had a thrill of a time and it is hoped that this event will continue in future years.

Move more for better bones!

About 70 per cent of adults in Australia are not active enough – which is bad news for their bone health.

While good calcium intake and vitamin D from sunshine are important for maintaining strong bones, so is exercise – and some types of exercise are better for your bones than others.

“I think most people know exercise is good for general health but they may not be aware that exercise is of great benefit to our bone health,” says Dr Sonia Davison, an endocrinologist at Jean Hailes for Women’s Health.

“Exercise is important for bone health throughout life but it becomes particularly important later when issues such as fractures and osteoporosis become more common.”

To mark World Osteoporosis Day on October 20th, Dr Davison is urging women to move more to boost their bone health. Weight bearing exercises such as running, walking, skipping, dancing and even Zumba are particularly good, says Dr Davison.

“With these exercises you take the load through your body so your skeleton is used for what it’s actually designed for,”

K N I H T

says Dr Davison. Load placed on bone leads to increased bone formation at the site where the load is greatest, too.

“Exercises that improve balance, such as Tai Chi, Pilates and yoga are also good as with good balance you are less likely to suffer falls and fractures,” she says.

“Resistance training, such as working out with weights, is the third type of exercise important for our bones. It strengthens our muscles so they can support loads on our joints.”

While most physical activity benefits our health in some way, Dr Davison says these three types of exercise are the best for our bones.

“Swimming and cycling don’t really help our bone health and strength because they don’t encourage you to support the load through your skeleton. In water you float and when you cycle you are sitting down,” says Dr Davison.

“If nothing else, at least go for a walk a few times a week for around 40 minutes or more – walking is great because it works on your balance and it includes resistance training and weight bearing.

“Push your body a little but you shouldn’t feel any pain or discomfort when you exercise and if you haven’t exercised for a while, ease yourself into it and perhaps talk to a doctor or physiotherapist first to find out what is best for you and your bone health.”

property muster

Lesser known paths to property investment Seasoned investors take ‘think outside the square’ approach

at the end of each year, you receive it evenly throughout.

Care must be taken to estimate your EOFY tax position with great forethought: you may be stuck with a large tax debt if estimations are way off.

Mortgage Choice, Australia’s largest independently-owned mortgage broker, says there are many approaches to property investment that help borrowers maximise their cash flow and build wealth.

Line of credit with a ‘global’ limit – This is a line of credit home loan with a ‘global’ or ‘umbrella’ limit and several subaccounts, meaning you have maximum access to equity to optimise your investment opportunities. The loan can be operated with multiple accounts under one ‘global limit’, eg. your mortgage, investment accounts, car loans and personal loans. You can make changes to and use the sub-accounts freely without having to re-apply each time for a different borrowing limit.

Local Mortgage Choice franchise owner, Donna Robson states, “Some lesser known paths to property investment can be quite rewarding once understood. Many Australians could be missing out on building their property portfolio simply because they are unaware of simple, successful solutions.”

“Making strategic property investments is half the battle.

The subsequent steps seasoned investors make, thinking outside the square, sees them achieve goals faster and with less hassle.”

“Some of the more widely known approaches to property investment are taking out an interest only loan, buying with others as ‘tenants-in-common’ and tapping into your home equity. These can be great ways to free up cash flow, enabling more substantial contributions to a principal place of residence - if that’s your strategy - or to access cash flow for other investments.”

While these tactics, coupled with buying investment properties in the right place at the right time, have reaped financial rewards for many, savvy investors take their strategy to the next level. Some of the less traditional approaches to property investing are: Varying your income tax – If you’re negatively geared, a good way to improve the immediate cash flow is to have your accountant submit an income tax variation form to your payroll office. This reduces the tax rate charged on your wages by estimating your total end of financial year (EOFY) tax position in advance, so rather than receiving a lump sum tax refund

Build a secondary dwelling as an investment – A growing trend is building a second dwelling, (eg. granny flat), on the land held by either an owner-occupied or investment property. These secondary dwellings are used to generate extra cash flow via rental income and increase the property’s value when sold in future. Secondary dwellings also provide depreciation benefits. They must be council-approved, be fully selfcontained, have their own access and be part of a formal tenancy agreement. Always research how similar properties in your area performed at time of re-sale and keep in mind that lending criteria for secondary dwellings varies from lender to lender.

Blatantly Honest Property Investment I am very excited about providing you the reader a complete Property Investment guide on a weekly basis.

WHY? Because I am extremely excited about the future of the Australian property market and the direction it is moving, and I love to educate people with the inner knowledge to affordable, safe, secure and successful property investments.

We really are in a great position in Australia; right now we are at a time of tremendous opportunity. There are four main reasons this is a unique time in history 1) China growth 2) Mining Boom 3) Population growth and 4) Property shortfall.

China is affecting the landscape of Australia- 3 to 4 years ago China made up for 5% of our exports they are currently at 25% and in 3 to 4 years set to exceed 32%. China is building approx 30 million houses per year, and a New York City every 6 months, and they need our resources to build these cities. Glen Stevens the Reserve Bank Governor of Australia said a few days ago we are in the biggest resource boom in history and it has only just started. There is $700 Billion of new projects set to start in the next 3 to 4 years, this is amazing!

Due to the mining boom Wayne Swan Australiaʼs Treasurer said we have a major shortage of skilled labour therefore we need to increase migration to meet these demands, approx 3.2Million skilled immigrants in this decade. The shortage is worsened due to the baby boomers where we have 25% of the work force retiring.

Population growth drives property demand and there is currently approx 250,000 house shortfall in this country set to be over 500,000 by 2020, on top of interest rates going down, wages going up, unemployment coming down, the share market in turmoil. All these factors drive up property prices, Australia wide.

The question is where do you get the maximum capital growth and rental income and why do you need to seriously look how you can take advantage of this opportunity? If you would like to read more please visit prosperitygroup.com.au/monaropost. Or call me for a chat 64526957 Have an excellent day!

CLAIRE’S CAROUSEL

Riposte Lisa Ashurst It’s amazing really when you think about how many muscles there are in the human body. Not that I would normally think about them but right now I’m feeling every one of them (acutely!) following a sudden impulse to rearrange the furniture in one of the bedrooms.

It happens sometimes. I just get a sudden yen to move everything around to a new position and how I feel afterwards depends on what I actually moved, how far I moved it and how bloody heavy it was to shift! In this latest move-fest just about everything was on the heavy side and so here I am a couple of hours later, very conscious of Every Single Muscle from head to foot. Even my fingers and toes!

Apparently I’m not alone though in the rearranging thing as I know others who also come down with the sudden urge to move all the furniture around from time to time and we have had some in depth discussions on the best way to slide, shove, drag and “walk” hefty items from A to B, across to C, then D, back to B and finally to E before taking a tape measure to see how it would go if it could be shoved, dragged and “walked” over to F. As a work-out it’s pretty good. Like, every muscle you have from head to toe gets a look-in and if you really put

the grunt into it then guaranteed you’ll probably burn a lot of calories which is always a positive.

Then there’s the added feeling of a job well done unless you decide you’re not happy with the new arrangement after all and you have to put it all back again. That doesn’t happen very often though so it’s probably not really worth mentioning here.

But anyhow, the room I just shoved around looks really good so it was worth it in this case and this is what I’ll be telling myself in the morning when Every Single Muscle will be protesting in earnest and just to prove it I’ll make my way very carefully to the newly made-over bedroom to check it out again.

The only problem with all of this is that I’m finding myself casting a critical eye over the other rooms in the house and I can feel myself wanting to improve on their current look and in my present state of being barely able to move this could be a mistake.

If I give myself a few days to recover though I could really do some stuff around this house! Okay, maybe more than a few days, let’s say a week.

Even my hair hurts!

All revved up for Motorfest 2011 Saturday November 5 will see Cooma, capital of the Snowy Mountains, host the Cooma Monaro Historic Auto Club’s fifth Bi-annual MOTORFEST, taking place at the picturesque Cooma Showground – just follow the signs.

As a major check point for the Snowy Ride, we can look forward to the presence of thousands of bikers converging on our town and surrounding areas to not only support the Steven Walter Foundation fundraiser, but also a visitation to our Motorfest, which will be an exciting and interesting distraction for them as well as welcome relief from the road.

Apart from the biggest gathering of cars and machinery on the Monaro, there will be an impressive display of Trucks, Snowy Mtns. construction machinery, Race cars, Speed cars, Stationary engines and Tractors.

A feature this year, a Monster Tractor, something new to our show. A huge Aircraft engine with wheels to match the engine, a sight to be seen.

Some examples of what you can expect to see are: EH Holden with a 800 horse power engine.

A Summernats winning Datsun 1600.

A Nissan Skyline with a 900 horsepower engine.

A huge array of new vehicles on display from our many trade supporters.

The Motorfest kicks off on Friday night at 5.30 pm with a meet and greet at our brand new Club house premises in Bolaro Street.

Registration is available on the night.

State SES Week NSW State Emergency Service (SES) volunteers are being recognised during National SES Week 7-13 November for their efforts in serving the community, with 549,803 hours spent responding to storms, floods and other emergencies.

The NSW SES and NRMA Insurance have joined forces to recognise this remarkable effort and to encourage Cooma-Monaro residents to say thank you to their local volunteers.

The past 12 months have been busy for the NSW SES with severe storms and floods affecting many parts of New South Wales. Some of the activities SES volunteers have been involved in include: • 257,217 hours responding to storm events • 97,321 hours helping communities affected by flood.

• 3,526 hours carrying out flood rescues • 5,856 hours assisting with road crash rescue and • 21,063 hours aiding other emergency services with land searches The NSW SES has around 10,000 volunteers across the state from all

walks of life. Volunteers range in age from 16 up to 80 and can be involved in any activity from tarping roofs and clearing fallen trees to educating communities about storm and flood safety.

Cooma controller Mick Thomas said SES volunteers provide an invaluable service to the community.

“These men and women selflessly give up their time to help people during floods, storms and other emergencies.

This year has been especially significant for many of our volunteers who’ve helped communities affected by severe weather in NSW as well as Queensland and Victoria.”

“National SES Week is a perfect time for residents to say thank you to the volunteers of the SES who have given so much to their communities.

It is also an opportune time for people to consider joining the SES to become more involved in their local area.”

According to NRMA Insurance research, 12 per cent of NSW residents report that a neighbour, or they themselves, have had to call on the SES for help as a result of a storm or flood emergency.

A trans Tasman battle of different dimensions took place in Hobart at the weekend when 600 of the best young minds from every state and territory in Australia as well as New Zealand, Singapore and Hong Kong competed in the Tournament of Minds Australasian Pacific Finals.

Saint Patrick’s students represented the ACT region in the Applied Technology section and were also the youngest Secondary school team competing.

They demonstrated exceptional skills in problem solving, teamwork and creativity in reaching this point of the competition. The team consisted of Year 7 students: Florance McGufficke, Clair Schofield, Angela Sullivan and Year 8s: Jasmine Bujalski, Madalene Shatrov and Vendulka Wichta.

The four-day tournament was opened at a civic reception in Hobart City Hall by the patron

of Tournament of Minds, Aaron Tait, a young Australian who has started an organisation called the LEADERS Project.

He encouraged students to use their creativity and problemsolving abilities to be the change-makers of our world.

Above all, he stressed the importance of teamwork and the need for leaders of any sort to work with the people around them and to use their collective talents to create meaningful and long-lasting change.

Tournament of Minds was introduced to Australia in 1987 by the Victorian Association for Gifted and Talented Children.

Since then it has grown to include all Australian states and territories as well as Singapore, Hong Kong and New Zealand.

This year 50,000 students took part culminating in the Australian Pacific finals in Hobart. Teams of students work on a challenge in the six weeks

leading up to Tournament Day. They choose from one of the following disciplines: Applied Technology, Maths Engineering, Language Literature and Social Sciences. St Patrick’s has been involved in Tournament of Minds since its inception in the ACT in 1991.

During that time they have represented the ACT region at the national finals five times in all disciplines.

In Hobart, the Cooma team certainly enjoyed the challenges of the competition but also had the opportunity to meet other amazing young people who share their enthusiasm, creativity and energy.

They were not winners on the day, but the skills and experiences they have acquired will, no doubt, inspire this young team in future years.

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

The scholarship provides the opportunity for young Monaro people involved in agriculture to broaden their knowledge, experience and career prospects with an educational grant or an exchange program between the South Island of New Zealand and the Monaro.

Local land lad, Matthew Walters, received the Cecil Brown educational grant in 2010.

The grant offered him financial assistance in purchasing textbooks and paying tuition fees for his course in agriculture and economics at the University of Sydney.

One of Matt’s relatives won the scholarship in the past, which influenced him to apply for it in 2010.

Before moving to Sydney to attend university, Matt lived on his family farm, which consists of

Australians just don’t understand farming Research released last week has revealed 83 percent of Australians believe the nation’s farmers deserve better recognition.

Founder of the Australian Year of the Farmer campaign, which kicked off last Thursday, Phillip Bruem said despite widespread support for farmers there was still a need to communicate its personal relevance to all Australians. “Our research indicates emphatic support for the campaign, with nearly three-quarters (74 percent) of respondents recognising the importance of the year. But it also suggests that many Australians do not fully understand the contribution farming makes to their own lives, with a large proportion (40 percent) saying the campaign was not relevant to them personally,” Mr Bruem said.

“There are many Australians who find it difficult to appreciate the intrinsic link between the food, wine, clothes and wide range of farming products that support our lifestyles and the farmers responsible for providing them.”

Mr Bruem said every person who eats food or wears a wool coat is connected to

farming. “Every person who has timber in their house construction or sits at a wooden table is connected to farming,” he said.

Minister for Agriculture Joe Ludwig said the Australian Year of the Farmer campaign would highlight the contribution made to Australia by its farmers. “Australian farmers are some of the best in the world,” Ludwig said.

“The Year of the Farmer will boost Australia’s recognition of the important contribution our farmers and our rural communities make to our food supply, to our economy and to the Aussie way of life as a whole.”

Mr Bruem said the campaign was particularly important because of the key role farmers would play in providing food to meet significant growing demand in Australia and abroad.

“By 2050, there will be 9.3 billion people in the world, up from seven billion today. Farmers globally will need to increase productivity by 70 percent over the next 40 years,” he said.

“It goes without saying that we need a strong, sustainable farming sector in Australia.”

Touching Base Tour continues The NSW Farmers Touching Base Tour will continue its journey across the State with the next events to take place in Mangrove Mountain and Mittagong.

Mangrove Mountain fruit grower and NSW Farmers Treasurer Peter Comensoli is encouraging anyone interested in agriculture to attend, after a successful launch in Moree earlier this month.

“The number of people who attended our first forum in Moree has shown us that farmers are keen

to take up an opportunity to have their say on issues impacting their businesses,” Mr Comensoli said.

NSW Farmers will have a stand at the Mangrove Mountain Country Fair on Saturday 22 October, with local horticultural and poultry meat members on hand to offer expert advice.

The Tour will then make its way to Mittagong on Monday 24 October, which will host a dedicated seminar on the incoming Workplace Health and Safety laws.

An historic day for Snowy River

Over the last week, the Snowy River has received life-giving environmental flows from the Jindabyne dam.

On Monday last week, the dam gates were opened for the first time in nearly 40 years, allowing more water to spill into the river and refresh it.

The event attracted a large audience and the effects downstream have seen the Snowy flowing at metres above its former level.

Pictured, the flow started as a trickle, turned into a torrent and transformed the lower lying areas of the Snowy at Dalgety. Main picture: as seen from the air. Photo courtesy of Snowy Hydro.

Cape York with Snowliner and Oz Safari Tours Continued from last week...

The skyrail which was erected entirely by using helicopters during construction to minimise damage to the forest, continues the ride above the canopy of the forest providing good views all the way down to the terminus.

Near the terminus having passed above two aboriginals in a clearing giving boomerang lessons to tourists it was time to reassemble and wait for the coach for the drive back to the Coral Tree Inn. The terminus is quite a busy spot and we encountered two Indian gentlemen who were very sociable types. They were speaking with their intriguing accents emphasised by “head wobbles” as they do. They were happy to engage in conversation and with good humoured banter which kept the waiting crowd amused.

One raised the subject of cricket with a question – “What do you think about Tendulka?” I responded that I thought he was probably one of the best ever cricketers. “What? Even better than Bradman?” “No, but certainly way up there in his class”. “Oooooh you think so much of Tendulka then?” “Yes I do” Seeing he wanted to continue talking cricket I said, “I see India just lost their first place in world of Test Cricket to the Poms.” “Aaah-yes (accompanied by a head wobble) “Sad that, but in cricket someone wins and someone loses,” he said. I then continued “Is that why you had to leave India and come to Australia?” Both Indians roared with laughter and the common bond of an interest in cricket provided more good humoured fun until it was time to leave.

before him he had also learned to kill and butcher a beast, to skin the animal, to tan the hide using alum, salt and water and when ready to work the hide, to cut into straps in a circular fashion around the hide. From this, using a razor sharp pen knife the strap would be cut into either four or eight strands leaving an uncut section at the beginning for connecting to the whip handle. After stretching the strands which had been cut on the circle of the hide the plaiting would begin, making sure to stagger the joints between additional strands. Kate was an interested listener to the conversation, mentioning her grandfather also made stockwhips. He must have been very skilled since he was commissioned to make whips for the Australian Governor General of the time also one for the President of the USA. Gordon had attended the Cooma TAFE for 14 years taking

Jenny being the resourceful Jenny she is, offered her suggestion for the evening meal which everyone accepted. It was to dine at “Charlies” a restaurant on the Esplanade offering a flat rate $25 smorgasbord. Never doubting her judgement – it can only be said that we “pigged out” on the most scrumptious meal of prawns, oysters, mussels, calamari and barramundi without even seeking out the wide range of other offerings.

Suffice to say “Charlies” is a must for visitors to Cairns. As a sidelight to this, there was a good mobile phone signal in Cairns and I sent a message to Andrea telling her of our intention to dine at Charlies. Promptly back came a reply, “is that Charlies on the Esplanade? She had never been to Cairns so she must have gone Googling and found Charlies. “Don’t tell me you know what is on the menu?”

I replied.

many courses and eventually becoming a teacher there.

One course he put to good use was controlled blasting enabling him to successfully blast rabbit warrens on the property and rid the land of the pests. His instructor at TAFE was none other than Professor Tom Leech, Chief Scientist at SMA Scientific Services. The Prof had earlier proposed to the Australian Government to create a channel for an inland sea or lake in Western Australia using controlled atomic blasting which would fuse the soil such as to make it impervious to water leakage. The powers that be probably never understood or appreciated the possibilities for such a scheme and his proposal was never accepted. It was time to join our coach for a tour around Cairns before boarding the Sea Swift cargo vessel “Trinity Bay” to Horn As mentioned the Coral Tree Inn is a very pleasant place Island, Thursday Island and Seisia on the and next morning after breakfast Gordon and I stayed mainland in the far north. on by the pool passing time before the next stage of the Cairns is a very clean, well set out city trip which was the sea voyage. Noting his interest in whip cracking the previous day I asked him about this to find of about 150,000 population located that from an early age he had lived and worked on the on a mangrove swamp. Much land has land, raising cattle, droving, riding horses, and learning the been reclaimed providing exceptionally many skills that go with farm life. One of these was making wide streets, an International Convention circular stranded and plaited stock whips. From his Father Centre, a wide range of hotels for

tourist accommodation, tropical shrubbery at ground level softening the concrete of the high rise buildings. Although tourism is the big money earner for Cairns the surrounding vast sugar industry also contributes significantly to the wealth of the city. The big game fishing off shore draws the attention of international as well as Australian fishermen where marlin up to 450kg has been caught. The Marina is a showcase for luxury boats on display as well as the many craft offering trips out to the Great Barrier Reef. Helicopters and seaplanes also operate out of Cairns separate from the international airport. We arrived at the wharf where the Trinity Bay was loading cargo. The waiting lounge was an open sided steel container with a few seats. No “Princess” line vessel here, ours was a working cargo vessel 81m long, 15m wide, 3200 tonnes dead weight, 5.74m draft, licensed to carry 38 passengers and just keep out of the way please while we are loading. But this is no small operation. Just look at http://www.seaswift. com.au/downloads/Corporate_Brochure.pdf We were given a briefing by the Oz tours Manager, also a Sea Swift official particularly about safety, of what to expect on board during our on going trip and were to expect another briefing once on board.

Sure enough we were met by the Purser, an enormous New Zealander, a Maori named Pere pronounced (Perry) who went through the “do’s and don’ts” expected of passengers. Pere was age 36, had a son age 18 and had as happy and friendly a nature as anyone could wish for in life. His voice was loud, he was amusing, very hard working, constantly on the move and most attentive to passenger needs.

An ex Rugby player it is doubtful anyone tackling him could bring him to ground. He informed us that mobile phone coverage would be lost for 85 percent of the voyage to the tip of Cape York and even then it was only Telstra offering a service although the ship had multiple means of communications. There would be only one stop at Lockhart River when the ship would stand off shore during the night and be met by a barge on to which cargo would be unloaded. We were able to witness this interesting transfer of cargo later when the floodlights on the boat showed the dangerous conditions the deck hands operated under. They had safety harness attached to their body, very necessary when clambering over the cargo and containers which were being transferred to the waiting barge alongside.

Continued next week..

Cooma students go rowing in Sydney During the second week of the school holidays eight boys from the Cooma community gained the opportunity to learn about, and participate in, the sport of Rowing.

As part of a first ever initiative by any of the elite GPS schools in Sydney, The Scots College invited a group of Monaro High School boys to come to their Boat Club and try this wonderful sport. It was the brain child of the Rowing Master at Scots, Mark Dwyer, who saw the Eton School in England offering the local schools there the chance to row, and thought that a similar program would be the right thing to give back to the community in Australia. After obtaining permission from The Scots College Principal, Dr Ian Lambert, to make his dream a reality, Dwyer contacted Monaro High School to offer this unique invitation to some of the school’s students. This was warmly received and a group of Year 10 boys signed up to be involved.

So on Tuesday morning Agustin Albertoni, Brandon Atkinson, Eric Conley, Jack Downie, Laurence

Redmond, Oscar Schoon and Blayne Thomas, all from Monaro High, and Joel Smith from St Patrick’s, who kindly agreed to be a last minute replacement for a Monaro student who fell ill the day before departure, headed off to Sydney and into the unknown world of Rowing for a four day “Camp”.

On arrival at The Scots College Boat Club the boys were welcomed

by Dwyer and a number of coaches, who normally help out with the Scots crews. The Cooma boys were given a quick chance to have a look around the facilities before they were directed by the coaches towards the Rowing Simulators and Ergometers so as to be taught the techniques of Sculling (two oars each) and Rowing (one oar each). After this brief session was over the boys took to the water in Single Sculls. Conditions were not favourable for brand new oarsmen, with strong winds blowing and choppy water bouncing the Sculling boats around. With the combination of lack of experience and the testing

conditions it wasn’t long before many of the boys were having to use their swimming skills as “crabs” were caught and boats “rolled” tossing out the novice rowers into the cool waters of the Parramatta River. To their credit the boys were not daunted by these swims and, after bringing the boats back into shore, regained their positions in the boats and set off again. This session lasted about two hours, a very thorough introduction to this brand new sport.

Over the next two days the boys also had a number of rows in Quadruple Sculls, Coxed Eights and the Single Sculls again. With each row the skill, confidence and enjoyment levels increased dramatically, to the point that Mark Dwyer made comment at how shocked he was by the natural ability several of the boys showed to such a technically, psychologically and physically demanding sport.

The possible highlight of the trip was that the boys experienced several of Dwyer’s “floor sessions”,

which are famous in the Scots Boat Club. These seated floor discussions allowed him the opportunity to take the boys on a psychological journey that explored their views of their world, themselves, their friends, education, their future and what sort of lives they wanted to live. He also threw in a number of silly little physical challenges that had the boys laughing hysterically. These off-water learning session were arguably more valuable, important and empowering for the boys than anything they learned on the water, a little piece of gold they get to keep and use for the rest of their lives.

Apart from some fuel money for the bus trip to Sydney and back, this four day Rowing Camp had all costs covered by The Scots College which was extremely generous of them and greatly appreciated by the boys.

Not having to worry about paying for accommodation, all meals, use of the Rowing equipment, the coaching they received and all their wet clothes being washed and dried each day, allowed the boys to

relax and enjoy themselves without having any distractions or concerns on their minds.

To give up four days of your school holidays was always going to be a big ask of any boy, the fact that eight boys were willing to do such a thing was very brave. Their bravery allowed them to experience a unique opportunity and meet some remarkable people as well, something that could be deemed as priceless, and from their many comments on the way home something they were so happy they did.

Mark Dwyer at the start of the Camp asked the boys to “imagine yourself moving to a place you have not been before, then have the courage and determination to go there”, the boys met his challenge perfectly and made better people of themselves by having the desire to do so. It was wonderful to see such fine young men from Cooma shining so brightly while having so much fun.

Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy in Cooma could expand physiotherapy services to provide service to patients, like those in age care facilities or those using the hydrotherapy pool, without their having to visit our Bombala Street clinic.”

“This would be akin to what is being done in Bega, for example, where Sapphire Coast Physiotherapists visit the Bega Cheese factory three times per week to provide physiotherapy to workers from the three different shifts at the factory.”

Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy has clinics in Cooma, Bega, Merimbula and Eden. It has a reputation for its innovative approaches to providing physiotherapy services to rural communities. It was recently named as one of the ten finalists remaining in the running to receive the 2011 NSW Rural Community Business and Employment Achievement Award because its growth has resulted in many more physiotherapists and ancillary staff being employed, and because it has significantly improved the physiotherapy service available to residents in the south-east of the state.

More information about Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy is available at www.sapphirecoastphysio.com.

Physiotherapy appointments with Renee Pirozzi at the Bombala Street Medical Centre clinic in Cooma can be made by phoning 6452 4203.

LAST WEEKS SOLUTION

Cooma’s Renee Pirozzi has become a Director and partner of Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy.

Normally a director’s appointment would pass unnoticed. A form would be sent to ASIC and the new director would simply join the company board.

“But my appointment is much more than this,” Renee said. “It signifies a significant long-term commitment to the region by Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy.”

“It means that our patients from Cooma will have greater access when it’s needed to specialist physiotherapy, such as the hand physiotherapy and women’s health services, which can be best provided by the Sapphire Coast Physiotherapists who have had additional training in these areas.”

“It also means we can plan to attract more new graduate physiotherapists to Cooma, because they will be able to receive the training and mentoring that only a reasonable size practice like the Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy group can offer.”

“This will ultimately mean more physiotherapists are available to provide treatment to people in the area.

Of course, Cooma’s specific needs will now be directly represented at the highest level within the company.”

Renee joins three other directors on the board of Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy. At age 25, she will be the youngest of the directors.

“We are delighted with how Renee has helped Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy as an employee over the past two years, and are thrilled that she has now accepted our offer to become a director and partner,” Naomi White a Director of Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy said.

“She will bring young thinking and incredible enthusiasm to the company board, which is where the planning decisions are made on how Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy can continue to provide better service to our clients. I know Renee already has some great ideas on how

Bowlers entertain travellers Last Friday the Cooma Bowling Club was host to members of the Fishers Ghost Travelling Bowlers from Campbelltown. Thirty-nine men and women from Campbelltown joined up with thirty-three of our local bowlers to enjoy an afternoon of bowls and good fellowship. The recently renovated Litchfield green was brought into play and although a little heavy, it seems to have run truly and will improve with further play.

On Sunday a group of bowlers from Belconnen in the ACT were welcomed to the club for morning tea, a game of bowls, lunch and another game in the afternoon followed by much discussion over afternoon tea or a drink. In all thirty-six bowlers travelled from Belconnen and were joined by thirtyfour of our own local players, Once again, a great day.

Social bowlers were a bit scarce on Saturday with just ten players having a game. Jim Fletcher and Richard Nichols had an enjoyable game of pairs with Ernie Lapham and Paul Cannell.

Ernie and Paul got away to a great start to lead 14/6 after twelve ends when Jim and Richard finally started to click and scored 13 shots to Ernie and Paul’s two and went on with the job to run out winners 32/20.

In a game of triples, Peter Dahl,

Mark Buckley, and Peter Schroeder got in some practice against Jack Sajina, Geoff Venables and Colin Roberson prior to their coming trip to Cowra. Jack and Col set up a handy 16/9 lead on the 15th only to see their opposition score seven shots in a row and by mutual consent, call it a day on end 19.

On Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd, four bowlers will travel to Cowra as part of a team representing zone seven in a new tournament between zones five, eight and seven and the ACT. They are Peter Dahl (lead), Mark Buckley (second), John Schoon (third) and Peter Schroeder (skip). They will play Saturday morning and afternoon and one game on Sunday. The balance of the zone seven players have been from clubs on the coast. We wish them every success.

The monster garage sale is only 11 days away , 29th October, so check out your unused but useable items and bring them along to the club any time from 3:00pm on Friday 28th til 10:00am Saturday, either as a donation or ask the club to sell them for you.

Fifteen percent of sale price will go to the club. Some overnight storage for smaller items could be available on Friday night.

Only one game of cricket A rather disrupted round of cricket with the Aussie hotel officially folding from this years competition and Coffeys Hotel forfeiting their match to Jindabyne.

Which meant the only match to play this week was Berridale V Alpine Colts.

The Alpine Cricket Club travelled to Berridale on a terrific spring day to take on the Berridale Cricket Club in a Twenty20 match.

The Alpine won the toss and commenced to bat with Kevin Regan and Damien Roach opening. After the two opening batsmen fell for 0 and 7 respectively, it was up to the Smith brothers, Zach and Joel, to salvage the situation.

With only 15 overs, the two brothers put on an unbeaten third wicket partnership of 138 runs to bring the Alpine’s total to 2/161.

After drink at the change of innings Berridale came out firing with Ben Hearn and Andrew O’Keeffe opening up the batting.

Hearn was dismissed early for 9

by Mark Fraser, after which a steady partnership between Simon Freebody and O’Keeffe started up. O’Keeffe was eventually dismissed by young Jacob Moon for a quickfire 51 while

Freebody was undone by a brilliant ball from Boo “Schapelle” Ewart for 25.

Laurence Redmond came in and steadied the ship but was run out

by Campbell Young off Joel Smith’s bowling.

The Alpine bowlers then tightened the screws and slowed down Berridale’s run rate, with Tug Boate’s spinners holding down one end very economically. By the end of the innings Berridale’s run chase failed to meet the requirements with their final score being 7/123.

Rep team The following players have been chosen to play Far South Coast on Sunday October 23 at Rotary players to be at ground by 9.15am for a 10am start.

Andrew O’Keeffe (c), Ben Shaw, Luke Hayes, Campbell Hillman, Simon Freebody, Troy Saddler, Chris Khoury (WK), Damian Asanovski, Kris Oliver, Adam Hayes, Jacob Moon.

The following players have been chosen as standby for the above players. The squad will be finalised on Wed night.

Nick Hind, Joel Smith, Josh Frazer.

Alan has Golden Oldies’ measure

Golden Oldies, Bede Nichols (left) and Mick Mayhew (right), are pictured with their sponsor, Alan Dodd (centre).

The CRUMBYs, short for Cooma Rugby Union Mature Battlers and Yesteryear’s Strugglers, have been invited to participate in the Tathra Crabs eighth annual ‘Golden Oldies’ tournament on October 22.

Only eight teams have been invited to play including Jindabyne Soar Boars, Bega Blue Veins, Shoalhaven Shags and RMC Duntroon.

For the first time the Crumbys have gained sponsorship, generously supported by Allen’s Funerals – just in case he is needed…

Crumbys players are generally ex-Cooma rugby players but of course, any other ex-rugby players are welcome to participate.

“Golden Oldies rugby is the only way to relive

your youth,” Crumbys player, Bede Nichols, said.

“The only difference is the girls are a little older!”

There are approximately 20 players on the team at present. If you would like to be involved, give Bede Nichols a call on 0408 484 104 or Bede McCosker at Camping World on 6452 2729.

The combined amount of the players’ subs and money raised from the raffle on the day will be kindly donated to Monaro Early Intervention Service (MEIS).

If you haven’t registered to play yet, jump to it, or simply come down to Tathra for the day to support the Golden Oldies in what will surely be a time warping and thoroughly entertaining display.

Stars of the future get in2CRICKET The next generation of Australian cricketers will this month take their first steps towards the Baggy Green, as boys and girls in Cooma, Berridale and Jindabyne join their local MILO in2CRICKET centre.

MILO in2CRICKET was successfully launched in 2008, and the program for children aged 5-10 years old promises to be bigger and better in 2011-12, with 3 cricket clubs offering the program to boys and girls in the Monaro district.

With a new generation of players coming through in both the men’s and women’s teams at international level, a sharp focus is being put on encouraging the next generation of cricket heroes through the ranks – and MILO in2CRICKET is the natural starting point.

Australian Captain Michael Clarke is one that can vouch for the impact a program like MILO in2CRICKET has, being a graduate of the system.

“As a young kid I participated in a community program like MILO in2CRICKET and have continued my involvement through roles with Cricket Australia and MILO. I can highly recommend the program as not only a way to learn about cricket but more importantly for girls and boys to have fun and keep active,” Clarke said.

Commonwealth Bank Southern Star Ellyse Perry also praised the program, in particular its focus on

encouraging girls to participate.

“The MILO in2CRICKET program caters for young girls equally to boys, so all young girls can feel comfortable in taking up the game. Having boys and girls both involved makes it a program that all of the family can enjoy,” Perry said.

The program also has high profile ambassadors in recently retired cricketing great Adam Gilchrist and television personality Nicky Buckley who will be involved with MILO in2CRICKET activities around the country.

Kezia Okulicz, Southern and Illawarra Participation and Growth Officer is excited about how the MILO in2CRICKET program can develop cricket in the Monaro area: “The launch of the new MILO in2CRICKET program in 2008 created a lot of interest in cricket in the Monaro area. We hope to continue to build on that success this season and help all girls and boys in Monaro have a positive first experience with Australia’s favourite sport” Okulicz said.

The following clubs will this season be conducting MILO in2CRICKET program through the cricket season, Cooma. Berridale and Jindabyne. For more information please call Kezia Okulicz on 0416 488 141 or see www.in2CRICKET.com.au.

Mayor acknowledges SERAS athletes Back to Zero’s cup From P42...

Despite doing plenty of work in the run, Mr Massee, ridden by Kayla McEwen, fought on gamely but Back To Zero proved to good to win by a ¾ length margin. Strike Me Happy was 1 ¾ lengths back in third place. Back To Zero is raced by Bombala locals, Peter Joseph and Mike Walcott along with Kevin and Jenny Casey, Peter Reynolds, Ben and Gary Donoghue and Greg and Trish Maloney, the parents of Joseph’s main track-work jockey.

Essential Energy’s Phil Green; Thomas Crimmins; Andrew Crimmins; Kristen Whiting; Mayor Dean Lynch; and SERAS Chairman Mick Mayhew.

The Mayor of Cooma-Monaro Shire Council, Cr Dean Lynch, held a reception on Monday October 10 to acknowledge the achievements of local athletes who have been scholarship holders with the South East Regional Academy of Sport (SERAS) during 2011.

SERAS executive director, Garry Lane, provided a brief update on the academy and introduced this year’s scholarship holders to the Mayor who presented them with a certificate to commemorate their year on scholarship with the academy. Mayor Lynch responded by acknowledging the good work done by the academy and confirming Council’s ongoing support.

Essential Energy’s Regional General Manager, Phillip Green, was also in attendance to congratulate the local athletes. “Essential Energy South Eastern

has been a long-standing partner of SERAS and we were thrilled to continue our association and support of the region’s young athletes through the Essential Energy scholarship program again this year. We look forward to hearing more about the achievements and successes of these local athletes into the future.” he said.

Athletes from the Cooma-Monaro region who are scholarship holders in 2011 include: Essential Energy Program – Andrew Crimmins (Mountain Biking); Thomas Crimmins (Mountain Biking); and Kristen Whiting (Equestrian). The academy also ran a scaled back netball program and local athlete Laura Nesbitt was a member of the SERAS Netball Squad in 2011.

Monaro High School – Fiji basketball tour 2012 Last term selections were held for the 2012 Fiji Basketball Tour teams. Thirty students from years 8-11 attended including students from St Pats and the Christian School enrolling at Monaro in 2012.

The players were put through a comprehensive set of drills and games which gave them the chance to display their skills. Each participant received a reversible training singlet, water bottle and basketball and a great day was had by all. All players gave 110% and the selection process was very difficult.

After much deliberation the coaches were able to announce the team the following morning. Thankyou to all those who participated. Planning is well under way for the tour and all players and parents are reminded that there will be an information evening in the Staff Common Room at Monaro High School on Wednesday the October 19 (tonight) at 7pm. The students will also be entering three teams in the Cooma Basketball Mixed competition starting on Monday the October 17, as well as training as a squad at the stadium on Thursday afternoons. This is the third overseas basketball tour for Monaro High School and all of the participants are very excited about the new location. Organisers chose Fiji as a location because they operate on a three term school year allowing travel in NSW school holidays and the chance to visit and compete against Fijian schools in session. Lautoka, Fiji is very interested in developing their basketball and was extremely welcoming of the group. The school students intend

to donate their playing uniforms and other resources at the conclusion of the tour to their Fijian hosts.

The itinerary consists of 4-5 games of basketball per team, an overnight stay in a traditional Fijian Village and an island visit. The group is considering attempting to beat to the previous Monaro High School Basketball Marathon of continuous playing for 28 hours as well as looking forward to another fantastic Cooma basketball dinner early next year.

The group will be accompanied by Kari Ingram, Michelle Pollard, Alicia Clarke, Jena Shaw, Janet Johnston, Richard Lyons and Michelle Ardle. The group is also very lucky to have a number of other parents and friends intending to visit Fiji to support the group.

Congratulations to the following students on their selection; BOYS Shashank Bokil, Orion Mckinnon- Campbell, Oscar Schoon, Cody Nash, Declan Tozer, Caton Vracar, Luke Bracher, Cameron Johnson, Blake Byrne and Caleb Lachmund.

GIRLS Carly Rixon, Louisa Wall, Kate Schofield, Abby Schofield, Brooke Ardle, Kara Hynes, Georgina Clarke, Lauren Swain, Emma Gerrand, Kate Connolly and Lauren Stewart.

The Yellow Tail and Landmark Bombala Maiden Hcp over 900 metres was Race 1 and saw the Joe Clearly trained Zarweep, $2.40 favourite, start from barrier one with Jason Collins aboard. On barrier rise Zarweep flew the gates to lead with Half Back Kid in close quarters. Meanwhile, Shelley Walsh aboard Brackenborough rode patiently off the pace, not riding hard into the notorious Bombala Hill.

This proved the winning tactic as her mount had enough in reserve to overhaul Zarweep in the last fifty metres to prevail by a ½ length and with Heybill, from Ensay in Victoria, a further 2 ½ lengths back in third placing. Brackenborough, ($4.60) is trained at Kalaru by Doug Cole for six members of the Slater family from Bega, C Murphy, Peter Crawford and S O’Brien.

Murphy’s Transport and Building Supplies Benchmark 45 Hcp was Race 2 and saw seven runners line up for the 1000 metre dash. The Nick Olive Canberra trained Thunderali was favourite to win the event and ridden

by Kayla Nisbet strode away to an early lead with the speedy Mia Familglia in hot pursuit. However, using the same tactics as she had in the first race, Shelley Walsh rode Runaway claim off the pace before making up ground when Mia Famiglia compounded and Thunderali went wide at the turn.

On entering the final 100 metres, Runaway Claim challenged Ballydoyle, trained at Bairnsdale by Bob Triplow, and went on to score by the margin of a short head with the Joseph and Jones runner Thirty Love a further 3 ¼ lengths behind in third placing. The

winner is trained by Benny Wynen at the Sapphire Coast and is raced by himself and Bruce Mackie.

Race 3 was the Monaro Wool – Schute Bell Maiden Plate over 1200 metres and saw eight runners head to the barriers with the Nick Olive trained Estanite, ridden by Jason Collins, being the $3.80 favourite. However, it was the Rebecca Kelly trained First Defence who proved superior on the day to win by a convincing 4 ½ lengths from Estanite with a ½ neck margin back to Riverdot Girl in third place.

With First Defence taking home $3500 in prize-money and starting at $6, the long journey from Sale in Victoria proved worthwhile for the trainer and managing part-owner Travis Kelly who enjoyed a celebratory drink with sponsor representative Ben Litchfield after the win. At a stewards inquiry after the race, Call Me Combo was declared a non-runner as he had been denied a fair start as a consequence of his barrier gate malfunctioning.

The last race on the day, the Bombala RSL Club and Vodka Cruiser Benchmark 45 Hcp, had a capacity field of 10 runners with Ocky Vella, who eventually finished fifth, starting as the $4.60 favourite. In what appeared to be one of the easiest wins of the day, Nowra based apprentice jockey Kristen Smart guided Short Stay ($7.50) to a comfortable 3 length victory from Joy Street ($11), ridden by Jason Collins, and Shades of Justice ($6), trained at Traralgon by Robert Lont, in third placing. Chalmare took up the lead when the barrier opened whilst Short Stay was back in third position on the rail coming up the hill.

On rounding the turn and entering the straight, Miss Smart peeled her horse three wide to round up the leaders and draw clear 150 metres before the line. Keeping the horse balanced by riding hands and heels, and without flailing the whip, the youngster rode her first race winner to the delight of the Short Stay’s owner/trainer Georgie Boucher and part-owner Michael Flanagan from Jindabyne. In a great show of camaraderie her fellow riders congratulated Kristen after the winning post on a win she will no doubt long remember.

Bombala locals enjoying the races: Sally Chapman, Lauren Yelds, Wendy Hampshire, Louise Wright and Leisa Mackay.

Back to Zero’s cup

The Barbara Joseph and Paul Jones trained Back To Zero was the winner of the 2011 Tasco Bombala Cup held on Saturday.

A large crowd gathered to watch the races, meet with friends or make some new ones on what was a great day weather wise, in contrast to the cold and wet weather of 2010.

When the gates opened to release the seven horses making up the cup field, Gelderbelle missed the start whilst Peekay left the barriers

with gusto to lead from Mr Massee and Strike Me Happy. The eventual winner, ridden a treat by Jason Collins, sat in fifth place early before making a forward move at about the 600 metre mark. As the two leaders entered the home turn and Strike Me Happy went wide to make a challenge, Collins made his way between runners in the middle of the track to take the lead at about the furlong.
