Travelling in style

Sunday afternoon in Cooma will never be the same. In a glimpse of a bygone era, Cooma’s streets resounded to the hoof beats of a fourin-hand team in a ‘Park Drag’.

The coach is a modern replica of an original and was driven by

master horseman Bob Edwards of Toowoomba and the owner of the horses, Byron McIntyre.

The footman for the run was Lea McIntyre.

Pictured, the coach heads down Amos Street; then negotiates the Sharp Street roundabout.

Students of all ages are involved with the musical with students from year seven all the way to year 12.

Monaro High School has always put a strong focus on their performing arts and drama faculty and each year they attempt to stage a school musical for the community.

Producer of Monaro High School’s Singin’ In The Rain musical, Brad McElroy says it’s important to encourage students to take part in the performing arts.

“It gives students who have an interest in the creative and performing arts the chance to express themselves and use their talents to

develop these abilities, to be entertainers for the school and wider community. But more importantly it gives students a confidence that comes from being able to step up to a significant challenge and succeed.”

“We’re building on the fine tradition that has been established over the last 12 years that is entirely attributable to the past and present teachers who have worked tirelessly in the performing arts area of the school to present a musical to the community each year.”

“We’re really looking forward to seeing what the staff and students have put together and to finally see the fruits of their efforts.”

Yarrabin Fire investigations underway Investigations into the cause of the devastating Yarrabin bushfire that occurred in January are still underway even though the fire is not being treated as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;suspiciousâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

The investigation, lead by Senior Constable Matt Barry, started when the fire began on January 5, however police are now following up with interviews and further investigations in the coming months in order to attain a more detailed account.

The Yarrabin bushfire destroyed about 12,166 hectares, two homes, an estimated 2,400 head of sheep, more than 250 kilometres of fencing (worth about $250,000) as well as farm machinery, sheds and equipment.

Because of the size of the fire and the shear destruction that it caused, many members of the community are still looking for answers.

Senior Constable Barry says over the coming months police will be going back to those involved and affected by the fire and collecting statements to reach a final conclusion as to what caused the fire that raged across the Kybeyan area for weeks in January. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of the size of the fire the Coroner has asked for us to investigate it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By waiting a few months we can get a far more detailed account of what has happened and

what has been lost.â&#x20AC;?

Due to the size and severity of the fire, a state of emergency was declared, (known as a Section 44), which enabled the Rural Fire Service to call on additional resources from a number of government agencies to help fight the fire.

The full cost of the fire is still yet to be determined.

Multi agencies came to support the Rural Fire Service volunteers, and support staff, from all over Australia including the police, ambulance services, Forestry NSW, Fire and Rescue NSW, NPWS, ACT rural fire service and emergency services, special remote area firefighters and strike teams, CoomaMonaro Shire Council, the Department of Primary Industries, Livestock Health and Pest Authority and public health authorities and BlazeAid. The Monaro was declared a natural disaster along with 71 other local government areas following fires and extreme weather conditions across the state in January.

Five months after the fire and farmers are still in the process of recovery and fixing and replacing what was lost. However with the help of the rest of the community and of BlazeAid volunteers most farmers affected have been able to resume life as normal. Fire Fighters did a truly amazing job

in protecting the community and should be commended for preventing what could have been a much worse result. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Police have not come to any conclusions yet and are not ready to release any information. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fire is not being treated as suspicious however this investigation will help us to figure out what we can do to make sure it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen again,â&#x20AC;? explained Senior Constable Barry. Anyone with information about the Yarrabin fire is asked to contact Detective Barry at the Cooma police station on 6452 0099.

Man missing in Snowy Mountains A large search was underway in Kosciusko National Park on Monday for a Canadian student who currently resides in Queensland and is assumed to be of Indian decent who went missing between Charlottes Pass and Mount Kosciusko last week.

The 35-year-old man was reported missing when he failed to return a hire car by last Friday.

The hire car was located over the weekend in a car park at Charlottes Pass. Last Monday May 13

the man entered the National Park on his own and explained that he would be hiking and camping from Charlottes Pass to Mount Kosciusko throughout the week. On Monday a Police Search helicopter and a dozen police trained in alpine search and rescue began the search for the man and have not yet been successful in locating him. Police hope that the search will be successful and are asking anyone with information on this man to come forward.

Nuggets Crossing in Jindabyne is undergoing improvements prior to the ski season.

Nuggets Crossing in Jindabyne is undergoing some very exciting changes this year to help deal with the yearly winter rush.

The first major changes to the shopping area will be an expanded Woolworths loading dock and a bigger arcade as well as 30 new car spaces on the top side of Woolworths.

These changes will be completed by the long weekend just in time for the winter rush.

After winter in late September, the interior of Woolworths will be undergoing major changes that should be finished by December this year.

Currently the Jindabyne Woolworths is much smaller than the usual footprint size. With the population of Jindabyne currently at 2500 the smaller size of Woolworths is sufficient to cater for this population.

However with the population increasing sometimes by thousands in winter the size of the only grocery store in the town becomes inadequate and often cannot deal with the winter queues.

from Centre Management at Nuggets Crossing says that these new changes will benefit the community in a very large way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These new changes will mean the community will have access to a greater range of products, and they will have less waiting time. The main arcade will be shifting to the middle of the shopping centre alleviating the pressure, which can sometimes exist on the down ramp and the existing Woolworths loading dock,â&#x20AC;? explained Mr Marshall.

The expansion is being completed by Bellevarde Constructions, Jindabyne. There will also be three tenancies at the front of the arcade, including, First National Real Estate Kosciusko, Alpine Sports upstairs which will have escalators put in for customers access and there is currently one vacant tenancy which will hopefully be filled by either an optometrist or an up market deli, both of which Jindabyne is in need of.

These changes are very exciting for the Snowy Mountains Community and will benefit tourists visiting as well as the local community. Centre Management Nuggets Crossing says that the expansion wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prevent the community from going about their usual shopping in any way.

Fires and accidents keep emergency services busy Emergency Services in the area had a very busy week beginning last Tuesday when Cooma Fire Brigade was called to a grass fire at the Four Mile at 11.45am, which they managed to extinguish quite quickly.

Last Thursday morning between 1am and 2am an aggravated break and enter occurred at a heritage home on Cromwell Street. The theft occurred in a unit attached to the back of the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home.

The victim reports hearing male voices in the vicinity and police reported that the criminals were average sized men.

The men broke in through an unlocked window and ransacked containers and cupboards in the house as well as stealing two expensive watches and a black IPod. If anyone has any information

on this crime please call Crimestoppers or Cooma Police on 64520099.

On Thursday May 16 Fire Rescue, Cooma Police and Adaminaby and Shannons Flat RFS were called to a house fire at noon at Bobeyan Road, Shannons Flat by a neighbour. By the time emergency services reached the property the house had already collapsed. Luckily the residents had left the house for Adaminaby at 6:30 that morning and no one was injured. The cause of the fire is still yet to be determined but police believe the origin of the fire was in the area of the kitchen.

Four houses were threatened last Saturday May 18 when a grassfire occurred at Dromore around 2pm. Cooma Fire Brigade attended along with

Monaro RFS and it took the team three hours to contain the fire. The cause of the fire is still under investigation however it burned 46 hectares of land covered by African Lovegrass.

The Rural Fire Service warns landowners to be very careful when lighting fires on land covered by African Lovegrass especially at this time of year as morning frosts can dry it out further and make it very volatile when alight.

Police, Ambulance and RFS attended a two vehicle head on collision on Bungarby Road at approximately 5.30 on Saturday. In poor light the two vehicles collided as they were both coming over a crest. The three occupants of the cars were attended to by ambulance and South Care but had no life threatening injuries. Monaro RFS attended and extinguished

the two vehicles, which were destroyed by fire.

At 7pm last Sunday night there was a motor vehicle accident on Seven Gates Road where a 1992 land cruiser containing four passengers rolled and SES, ambulance, police and Cooma Fire Brigade attended. A woman aged about 28 was trapped, suffering back injuries. She was released after about 70 minutes and airlifted by rescue helicopter to Canberra Hospital in a serious condition. Three other occupants â&#x20AC;&#x201C; two boys aged about 10 and 3 and a male aged about 26 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were assessed at the scene by paramedics, with the two boys transported to Cooma Hospital with minor injuries.

The accident is still under investigation by police.

Local accounting firm sees the 2013 Budget as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;restrainedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; but with some small wins for farmers There were few winners from a Federal Budget that was framed around the much publicised reduction in revenue this year of $17 billion dollars and the soft economic conditions currently being experienced.

It could all be hypothetical though as Jono Forrest, a director of well-known regional accounting firm, Boyce Chartered Accountants, points out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are very few Parliamentary sitting weeks before the September 14 election,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Forrest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This means that there is not much time for the measures contained in the 2013 Budget Papers to be legislated â&#x20AC;&#x201C; except for the previously announced increase to the Medicare Levy which Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, has said his party will support.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Forrest said the Budget was most unlike normal election year â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;spend-a-thonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which he believes was hardly surprising given the huge spending commitments the Gillard Government has signed up to â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including the National Disability Scheme and the Gonksi school reforms - and the need to find savings or revenue raisers to fund these.

The budget deficit for the 2013-14 year is expected to reach $18 billion dollars which is a huge turn-around from the Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prediction last year of a $1.5 million surplus. The growth of the Australian economy has been revised down from 3% to 2.75% for 2013-14 and unemployment is predicted to rise to 5.75% by mid-2014.

Inflation is expected to remain within the Reserve Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s target range of two to three per cent.

The major announcements contained in the Budget papers to impact peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal financial positions according to Mr Forrest are: ¡ An increase in the Medicare Levy from 1.5% to 2.0% from 1 July 2014 to help fund the new disability insurance scheme. ¡ Abolition of the Baby Bonus and the introduction of new family payment arrangements. ¡ Deferral indefinitely of the planned 2015-16 income tax cuts.

Mr Swan outlined a number of measures in regard to business although most were aimed at larger entities including: ¡ Changes to the R&D tax incentive scheme. ¡ Extension of monthly pay as you go (PAYG) income tax instalment regimes to include trusts, superannuation funds, sole traders and large investors as well as large companies as previously announced. ¡ The imposition of withholding tax on foreign residents disposing of certain taxable Australian properties including real property and mining rights. ¡ A variety of corporate tax integrity and tax compliance measures designed to tighten up the taxation system Agriculture Mr Forrest said that he and his colleagues were pleased to see that Mr Swan had included some measures designed to assist farmers in the Budget, although he described these as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;modestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

The Government will provide funding of $99.4 million over four years for a new Farm Household Allowance under the National Drought Program Reform commencing from 1 July 2014.

The allowance will be available to eligible farm families in periods of hardship regardless of the source of their hardship and will be paid at a rate equivalent to the Newstart Allowance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our farmers have been battered by the surge in the Australian dollar and falling commodity prices, so whilst we welcome the announcement of the Farm Household Allowance, we are yet to be convinced that this is the most effective way of providing assistance,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Forrest.

This measure is on top of the recent announcements in regard to the Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farm Finance Package which provides funding for concessional loans, changes to the Farm Management Deposits Scheme, additional rural financial counsellors and a coordinated approach to debt mediation across the nation.

Superannuation The Budget Papers confirmed the Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previously announced changes to Superannuation including: ¡ Changes to the concessional caps for superannuation members aged over 60 from 1 July 2013 and those aged over 50 from 1 July 2014, to $35,000 per annum; ¡ Abolition of the tax exemption on the earnings on assets supporting income streams above $100,000 per year; the earnings will be taxed at 15% from 1 July 2014. ¡ Reform of the Excess Contributions Tax treatment of concessional contributions.

Mr Forrest said many people are expecting a Coalition win at the September 14 election and if this is the case we will likely see a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;mini-budgetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; delivered very soon after Mr Abbott takes office.

Specifically, it was to address the opportunities and potential for further developing the well-established tourism infrastructure in Cooma.

The Committee saw the need for a Strategic Plan that addressed the vision for Cooma â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Monaro â&#x20AC;&#x153;to be a vibrant year-round visitor destinationâ&#x20AC;?. To this end, the Destination Management Plan was developed which was recently endorsed by Council.

As a working document, the Plan outlines the essentials for the sustainable growth and development of the Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visitor economy.

It addresses Coomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s product enhancement and branding, development and future infrastructure needs; as well as the marketing and promotional directions that will need to be established.

The Plan is presented in three parts. The first part addresses the current tourism infrastructure, market and opportunities.

The second part highlights the way forward through key areas of marketing, product enhancement and communication strategies. Part three identifies the actions and responsibilities necessary to implement the desired strategies.

Given that tourism is an integrated and interconnected industry, its economic impacts flow through every sector of the community. To this end, it should be recognised that the successful implementation of this plan will require a partnership approach with Council involving all stakeholders associated with tourism activities; including the upgrading of economic and communication facilities to meet changing visitor needs. The Plan is designed to provide such a framework in which all stakeholders and tourism interests can work cooperatively to a desired outcome.

I urge all stakeholders to visit the Plan on Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s web page and support Council through its Committee to ensure that we develop the facilities, events and attractions that will significantly increase visitations to the Shire; with obvious multiplier effects to our community.

The Destination Management Plan can be viewed on Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website www.cooma.nsw.gov.au.

Time again for thanks the

postman calls

The Postman believes he has caught-out the NSW Premier trying to fob off concerns about shooting in national parks.

In a radio interview last week, Mr O’Farrell was talking about how hunting in the parks will help control feral animals. He said on his recent trip to Bombala from Cooma, he had seen dead wild dogs alongside the road.

The Postman has spoken to a few people who regularly travel from Bombala to Cooma and asked if they, too, had seen the dead wild dogs.

Nobody has. They have seen dead wombats, kangaroos and a couple of foxes, but wild dogs. Nup! Not a one.

So, perhaps Mr O’Farrell needs a wildlife guide with him the next time he ventures out of Sydney?

As to hunting in national parks – he can’t seriously believe a bunch of shooters blasting away will do anything more than send every feral (and native) animal into hiding.

There are more effective means of controlling feral animals, if only the people making the decisions would talk to the people who know.

Well, The Budget has handed out a bit more pain for the average taxpayer. Not only will the Medicare levy increase, but patients will now get less back after seeing their doctor.

Private health insurance, as we know, will not cover the gap, so again the question – what’s the point of having it?

That’s one way of discouraging people to see a doctor – in a surgery. Looks like hospital casualty departments will be forced to cope with the overflow.

Just what this region needs as winter and the ski season, is about to begin.

Editor, It is time again to thank all the dedicated and caring people on the Monaro and their friends who have knitted, crocheted, patch-worked, donated wool or sewn up rugs over the past six months to achieve a total of 105 rugs.

These “Wrap with Love” rugs will keep some of the homeless and needy people in Australia warm during our winter.

The rugs were packed in three large boxes and Monaro Freight will deliver them to the “Wrap with Love”

warehouse at Alexandria. Sydney, free of charge, this week. Many thanks to Marco Revelant.

Thanks also to Beryl Seears for sewing the labels on the rugs, Jenny and John Evans and their staff at Snowliners for collecting the packed boxes and getting them ready for transport.

Thank you one and all four your compassion and concern for the homeless.

Betty Mattner Cooma-Monaro Convenor for “Wrap with Love” Inc.

Every time I see one of those ads for toddler supplements and kiddy vitamins I ask myself the same question; why would they need them and how many mums are being coerced into forking out for them as a result?

I haven’t priced these items myself but I suspect they don’t come cheap because items aimed at a particular group never are and let’s face it, the mummy market is a biggy.

If you look at the facts regarding vitamin supplements the general rule is that they are only beneficial in cases where the diet is lacking in some way, otherwise they are a waste of time and (definitely) money. Basically we get all the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc, etc, etc, we need for good health from what we eat and if we are eating the right things then supplements just aren’t necessary.

This is especially true when it comes to babies and toddlers and growing children. Years ago, once they progressed to the solid food stage, kids grew up smart, fit and healthy on fruits and home-cooked veggies, meat and fish without the aid of expensive baby and toddler vitamin thingies and it worked very well.

But as I said, the mummy market is a thriving goldmine for the companies

that make baby/toddler/children’s vitamin and food supplements and women are spending up big on them when all they really need to do is sit down and feed their kids on real food.

Trust me, your kids will eat it if that’s what you start them off on and they won’t need all the pricey extras because they will be getting everything they require to grow up strong and healthy from a far more natural source; Mother Nature.

I’m not saying supplements are bad news, I’m saying that on the whole, they just aren’t always necessary. If you think about it though, the same applies to vitamin supplements for adults too. As I said, if you read the really tiny print on these items it actually tells you that vitamin supplements may only be of benefit if your diet is lacking. If this applies to you, wouldn’t it be healthier and more economical to change your diet to what you should be eating instead of popping pills and potions to compensate for the lack? Of course it would! You can buy a lot of fruit and veg for what you’d spend on a little bottle of multivitamins and they contain a lot more goodies naturally than the man-made products that try to emulate them anyway. Just think about that the next time you see one of those ads, huh!

Cups for a cure!

Cooma local, Christine Williams is set to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Cancer Council’s Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea tomorrow.

Last year, morning tea participants across southern region raised $359, 022 towards the nationwide total of $12.3 million for Cancer Council’s popular annual fundraiser, and locals are looking forward to making the 20th anniversary the biggest year yet!

Funds raised go toward Cancer Council’s research, prevention and support services, like the Cancer Council Helpline (13 11 20), referral to free counselling services and legal assistance and a financial assistance scheme that includes vouchers for food, fuel, payment of rent, gas and electricity bills.

Christine decided to hold a morning tea in honour of family members, including her husband, that have lost

their battle to cancer and as a way to draw attention to the cause. Christine is hoping that by hosting a morning tea she can contribute towards a cancer-free future.

“All of our staff and students really like to contribute to this cause because they have all been affected by cancer in one way or another. I think everybody can do something, we are just doing what we can to make a difference.”

“Every cup brings us closer to a cure and it’s such a simple way to give back to the community,” Christine said.

Tracy Thomas, Communication and Events Coordinator at Cancer Council NSW Southern said “Each year, we’re blown away by the community support for Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea.

It’s amazing how something so simple has grown into something so big with over a million Australians taking part across the country. It’s great that we can all be a part of Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea.” “The official day for this year’s Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is tomorrow, but morning teas can be held anytime during the month of May and can be as simple or as extravagant as you like - we’re looking forward to seeing lots of photos!” Tracy said.

Digger’s debut delayed by surgery

GREAT INTEREST RATES ON CARS FOR INDIVIDUALS & BUSINESSES Don’t waste your valuable time dealing with the banks, call us today and we will do all the work for you!

Call Tony Rayner 0418 625 312 Melody Carne 0409 781 662 Maxine Linnane 0422 225 162

It has been six months since Digger the Waler arrived at “Keno” Cooma, under the care of Michelle O’Neill of Cherry Tree Equine.

Digger was one of six Walers captured near Alice Springs and brought east to be part of a special Waler presentation at Equitana in Sydney this November.

Each Waler was given to a different trainer to be trained in their specialist discipline.

Digger was set to be a barrel racer, under Michelle’s expert guidance.

However, it hasn’t been plain sailing for Digger.

While now taught to lead and accustomed to being handled, Digger has had a major problem with his teeth, one of which has had to be extracted in a lengthy operation at Canberra Equine Hospital.

Because of this problem, Digger’s breaking-in process has had to be delayed because he could not be mouthed due to his sore mouth.

The operation, which lasted more than three hours, has removed the tooth, but he now faces a lengthy recovery period before training can recommence.

Digger was expected to be a three-year-old colt, but veterinary checks have shown him to be more than twice that age.

His age, as well as his teeth, have caused a rethink in the training program he was to undergo.

Michelle said that while Digger recovers, slowly, she can’t guarantee he will get to Equitana this year. He certainly won’t be broken in and going as a barrel racer at that time.

While he recovers, he is getting the best of care at Keno, with his own accommodation, good feed and calm hands handling him.

Michelle thanks Danny and Sandra Brabon of Imagine Stock Horses for all their support and guidance.

Pictured, Digger has a couple of months recovery ahead of him after dental surgery. Left: Digger when he first arrived from the NT.

POSTPONED â&#x20AC;&#x201C; BOBEYAN ROAD CLOSURE Cooma Monaro Shire and Snowy River Shire Councils would like to inform the community that the planned Road Closure of Bobeyan Road at the Bolaro Bridge scheduled for 20 May to 15 July 2013, has been postponed.

Public concerns regarding Councilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; communication strategy and timing of the works have been noted and have factored in the decision to review the planned work program.

Although work will continue with some facets of the bridge repairs, both Councils believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the best interest of the

community to further review the required road closures with the local businesses and residents, with the aim of minimising any impacts and providing adequate advice to the communities.

The locals and some politicians were still in the bar and it was really interesting to get their perspective on the beef situation in Queensland.

The next day we headed further west to Mt Isa. The landscape changed from farming to mining as the dirt and rocks got redder. On day nine of the trip they crossed into NT, riding across the long open plains to Tenant Creek. The temperature was rising and they were looking forward to the next rest day in Katherine. They stopped at the famous Daly Waters Hotel for lunch on a Barra Burger and then had a quick dip in Mattaranka Thermal Pool.

The rest day in Katherine was great. Time for

some of the crew to take the Katherine Gorge boat trip while others took a helicopter flight over the gorge. Both were spectacular.

They spent their 12th night in Kununurra. The scenery through the Kimberley was truly stunning and it changed around every bend and over every crest. A night in Fitzroy Crossing and then Broome and another rest day. Cooma Crew have now raised $20,000. in fund raising efforts.

Charlotteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book most popular Former local, Charlotte Wood, has won the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice prize in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NSW Premierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Literary Awards for her novel, Animal People.

Animal People is Charlotteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth novel and was released in 2011.

It provides an astute commentary on modern

The Other Typist

Australian life as the bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;heroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Stephen, struggles through an unspeakably lousy day.

Charlotte is currently working on her fifth novel. Her cook book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love and Hungerâ&#x20AC;? was released last year. Part recipe book and part memoirs, the book is an indispensable kitchen companion.

Coomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest citizen

One of the most fascinating, unreliable narrators ators s d youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll read this year, for fans of The Talented Mr. Ripley and Rules of Civility. It is 1923. Rose se Baker is a typist in the New York City Police ions Department on the lower east side. Confessions are her job. The criminals admit to their crimes, and like a high priestess, Rose records their every word. Often she is the only woman present. And while she may hear about shootings, knifings, and crimes of passion, as soon as she leaves that room she is once again the weaker sex, best suited for making coffee. It is a new era for women, and New York City is a confusing time for Rose. Gone are the Victorian standards of what is acceptable. Now women bob their hair short like men, they smoke, they go to speakeasies. But prudish Rose is stuck in the fading light of yesteryear, searching for the nurturing companionship that eluded her childhood and clinging to the Victorian ideal of sisterhood. But when glamorous Odalie, a new girl, joins the typing pool, despite her best intentions Rose falls under Odalieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spell. As the two women navigate between the sparkling underworld of speakeasies by night, and their work at the station by day, Rose is drawn fully into Odalieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high stakes world and her fascination with Odalie turns into an obsession from which she may never recover.

BAD NEWS

The bad news for investors is if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take action now to put things in place to secure your future you are crazy!!!

Why? We are at a very special time in history for property investors, and there will be no better time to invest in Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premium capital growth locations for safe, secure and successful property investing then in 2013.

Why? 1. IT IS CHEAPER TO BUY THAN TO RENT Interest Rates are the lowest they have been in 53 years and tipped to go down even lower, as of today Westpac have a fixed rate at 4.79%. What does that mean to you the investor, it means all properties with 5% plus rental yield after your tax benefit you will have a positive cash flow property. What does that mean a property will provide you from $5000 to $12,000 approx savings on your Taxable income per property.

Due to your tax benefit, your rental returns and the low interest rates you will have a Positive Cash Flow property which means money in your pocket every week, increasing your income giving you a better life today, no holding costs.

When you invest in key growth areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Australia you gain maximum capital growth and if you can earn income and gain a tax benefits why would you not invest for your own and your families future.

2. It is a buyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market, prices in most capital cities have corrected and prices are more affordable now than ever. You would have heard the saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;You make money when you buy and not when you sellâ&#x20AC;?. This is half true, but if you buy and hold you will make compound capital growth and if you add to your portfolio it will supercharge your growth so you can retire when you want to, in your terms living the life you deserve.

3. China is buying up Australia they are rushing in like a cyclone whipping up all our property, this is driving up demand and it will only get harder to find quality property in the key growth centres and this will drive up property prices.

4. Auction Clearance rates are up over 70% in the major capital cities, vacant quality registered land is hard to find, rental prices are climbing all these factors are key indicators for the start of strong capital growth.

5. Population Growth is going out of control with the house shortfall in Australia currently at approx. 300,000 and forecast to be 500,000 within 5 years.

Guys there is no doubt this is the time to invest for your future if you want to buy for capital growth. I urge you to take advantage this time in history.

Please find my contact details if you would to have personal consultation in your home, we have access to Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premium properties, investments of choice not chance.

Have a great day!

A & A Worm Farm waste systems Take the common sense approach to a recycling program for the entire site.

Make your waste, including sewage, organic garbage and waste water work for you.

Reduce garbage to landfill by approximately 90 percent.

Installing a Worm Farm Waste System translates into a system which processes all the sewage, waste water and organic garbage your site generates in a very natural, non mechanical way.

Let the worms do their job as mother nature designed.

Just like on the rain forest floor, the worms process all organic matter converting it into worm castings.

Normal plumbing fittings such as flushing toilets etc. connect the whole household

into the system.

This systems stands head and shoulders above the rest of the waste treatment systems because it has very low energy consumption energy costing less than $20 per year for a standard four bedroom home. If your site is hilly, no power will be required.

Process all organic garbage including food waste, meat, bones, citrus, onions, garlic, weeds and animal waste converting it into worm castings.

When the waste water from the household is processed in the system it takes the worm castings and worm eggs with it to the sub surface disposal area in your garden. This worm liquid is a natural liquid fertiliser for your gardens. The

worm castings are absorbed into the soil as fertiliser and the worm eggs hatch and live in the disposal area improving the quality of the soil.

We live in drought conditions including water restrictions.

The Worm Farm Waste System re uses all your waste water and organic garbage as a liquid fertiliser. All sewage, waste water and organic garbage generated onsite is re used onsite 100 percent in a positive way.

Imagine if all households reduced garbage to landfill by 90 percent.

No smell, no service contracts.

We will apply to Council on your behalf for a permit to conduct the installation.

The installers

are trained and accredited and directly employed by this company. We do not use the local plumber to install. One phone number is all you need for the entire process.

Commercial applications such as schools, caravan parks, golf clubs, restaurants, food manufacturing, food preparation and animal waste are a few examples of where this technology may be beneficial.

For more information contact A&A Worm Farm Waste Systems on 03) 5979 1887 or email: enquiries@ wormfarm.com.au or visit www.wormfarm.com.au We invite your enquiry.

Feral pig control

Schute Bell wool report The market maintained last week’s upward momentum with the positive past fortnight adding up to $100 per bale for merino fleece wool. Fewer than 35,000 bales were offered nationally for the week and the projected offerings for the next three weeks look like they could even fall below this figure. Buyers may have taken the opportunity this week to fill orders at a more favourable exchange rate as the Aussie dollar finally came under pressure, falling almost 4% compared to last week’s sale.

The market actually closed slightly cheaper in US dollars for the week.

33,247 bales were sold nationally with the passed in rate dipping to 4% Major buyers included Techwool, Lempriere & PJ Morris.

The run up over the past two

A reported increase in the number of feral pigs has prompted Livestock Health and Pest Authorities (LHPA) to issue a reminder to landholders about controlling these pest animals.

Ideal breeding conditions over the past few years have led to a significant rise in numbers of feral pigs throughout the State and as they are a declared pest animal, landholders must implement effective measures to control them.

According to Tim Seears, LHPA Project Manager for Pests and TRSs, broad scale coordinated control activities are essential to make an impact on the feral pig population.

“Feral pigs have a large home range and therefore individual landholder control efforts are less likely to have any long term benefits,” he said.

“As with all pest animal control, it’s the coordinated group efforts of landholders and agencies that are the most effective”.

weeks is the best fortnightly gain we have seen since November/ December last year. It appears that the market had overcorrected on the downside however the swift recovery has surprised a few. The forward market is now trading slightly below this week’s physical close, giving us little indication of direction. For the time being the small offerings and the Aussie dollar falling below parity appear to be offsetting the somewhat slow demand.

This week’s sales Just over 35,000 bales are expected to be on offer nationally with 9,861 of these in Sydney.

Schute Bell, Wool Auctions, Goddard & Monaro Wool are selling on Wednesday 22.

Contact MPs about LLS Farmers and landholders across NSW who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have confidence in the new Local Land Services (LLS) agency are urged to contact their local member of parliament now, NSW Farmers have announced.

President Fiona Simson said the agency currently proposed by the LLS reference panel had failed to adequately address farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs as ratepayers.

Ms Simson said although the association was initially encouraged a new organisation with a new vision could provide the stability needed for ag extension services in NSW â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that hope was quickly fading. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The decisions made around the table by stakeholders have failed to recognise the views of grassroots farmers around the state on important issues such as boundaries and the makeup of local boards,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition, we have been given no certainty the government is committed to properly funding this new organisation into the future despite the fact there are significant public benefits involved and the government needs to play its part. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is unfortunate the reference panel has chosen to ignore the wishes of so many farmers when we

are the ones who stand to be affected the most by changes to the current ag extension model. â&#x20AC;&#x153;NSW Farmers is doing everything it can to put forward the views of our members at every opportunity on the issues around this new organisation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is now up to the Minister to reject these outcomes and listen to her most impacted constituents - the farmers who the LLS has been established to provide services to and who will pay LLS rates,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Ms Simson said boundary issues remained unresolved and farmers were concerned they would disempower local groups and impede service delivery.

She added that the establishment and composition of boards did little to fulfil the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original vision of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;regionally-based, semi-autonomous statutory organisations that are governed by 50 percent locally elected and 50 percent skills-based board membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Feral pigs cause a lot of damage to our agricultural industry through crop and pasture damage and lamb predation with significant economic losses every year.

Control methods include baiting with 1080 poison and using traps, which are available from most local LHPA offices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Landholders wishing to use baits must be accredited to do so, and the LHPA provides short training courses on a regular basis in 1080/Pindone to certify them,â&#x20AC;? said Mr Seears.

He said that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to remember that the effectiveness of any pest animal control program is determined by the number of animals

that are left, not the number of animals that are killed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those left will continue to breed and be your ongoing future problem.

Actively monitoring for the movement of remaining feral pigs and targeting any isolated pockets that might remain are critical components of any programâ&#x20AC;?.

Many of the 14 LHPAs throughout the State coordinate feral pig control programs which landholders are encouraged to get involved in.

Contact your local LHPA office for information on these, as well as 1080/Pindone training courses and accessing feral pig traps.

Beware of grass fire threat - RFS warning to graziers The NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) has warned of the heightened potential for grass fires in the Monaro and Snowy’s area.

“With little rain recently, cured grasses and generally warm sunny days, we have seen an increase in grass fires over the last couple of weeks” said Ailish Pope, District Officer.

“We urge landholders in Monaro Snowy area to be aware of this threat and of the risks associated when using machinery (including lawn mowers) and harvesting during these conditions.

“Every landholder should be prepared for fire and have firefighting equipment on hand, such as a full knapsack, spray pumper or hand-held chemical fire extinguisher in good working order.”

The NSW RFS has the following advice for landholders to help protect their property from grass fires: • Put fire breaks in place around assets and standing crops, as well as boundary fences.

• Check that your farm equipment is in

good repair and ready to deal with a fire should one occur.

• Be aware that when blades of slashers, mowers and similar equipment hit rocks or metal, sparks can ignite dry grass.

• Register any Static Water Supply sources on your property, such as dams, swimming pools and water tanks with the NSW RFS, which will assist firefighters if a fire breaks out.

“Grass fires can move much faster than other fires, because the fuels ignite so quickly,” said Ailish Pope, District Officer.

“Every landholder in the Monaro Snowy area region should have their Bush Fire Survival Plan ready, so they and their family can make decisions quickly if a fire

threatens their property.”

For more information contact RFS Monaro Team Officer on 6455 0455 or visit www.rfs.

For the same team as Alex, Matt Shirvington played Steven Johnson.

Steven had lost his first encounter with Matt but really tried hard this time.

Whilst he won 3-1 the score does not do the game justice as there were some good rallies in this very hard fought match.

Again for the same teams (Monaro Discount Tyres and Hillross) Matthew Nader won the first against a tenacious Jason Harris 10-8 but then took the next two 9-5 and 9-3.

Team results were: Monaro Discount Tyres 11 def. Hillross 4;TruckStop 13 def. Hydraulinks 5; Snowy Hydro 12 def. Cooma Trophy and Gifts 3 and Kleven Spain 13 def.

Paul Dyball Builders3 Keep up the good team spirit and continue to make this an interesting and hard-fought competition.

LAST W

Round three was completed last Thursday with only two members out with illness.

Once again there were some interesting results with the most notable being the Tony Potter vs Kim Kleven match.

Tony has been playing really well this comp but was completely outfoxed by Kim and scored only 8 points.

However we are sure that Tony will bounce back in future games. For the same team as Kim, Kleven Spain, Alex Childs had a long match against Eloiuse Blanchard.

They both played well with Alex winning by 3-2 in the end. They are both vastly improved players since they started and that is good to see.

Irene Tozer, who has had a good run so far, hit a brick wall when she played John Harding (who had the right shoes this week!) and lost 3-0 Her team captain, Larry Maat, was the only winner for their team Cooma Trophy and Gifts by defeating Jed Mackay 3-1.

Chris Tame continued his winning run this comp by defeating Susan Walters 9-2, 4-9,8-10,9-2 and 9-5 in a long 5 setter.

Big night out for Fillies at Women in League dinner Cooma Fillies travelled to Canberra recently to attend the Women in League evening held at the Canberra Raiders Club.

It was a glamorous evening, with the girls dressing up for the occasion.

They met a number of current Canberra Raiders during the evening.

In a Semi-final of the Minor Singles played last Friday, Ron Wainwright and Colin Roberson had an early tussle, with the scores locked up at nine all after 10 ends.

Twelve shots on two in Colin’s favour over the next seven ends put Colin in front 21 to 11 and although Ron matched him over the concluding stages, Colin advanced to the final 31 to 18 where he played Tom Reed on Saturday.

In this final Colin got away to the start he must have been wishing for to lead 12 to five after nine ends.

Colin continued to dominate and by end 24 held an eight shot 22 to 14 lead. At that point both players played some wonderful draw shots and each held shot on most ends, however the final shots started to go Tom’s way and he kept Colin on 22 for eight ends and took the lead 25 to 22. Four ends decided by just one shot had the scores 26 to 25 in Tom’s favour when he scored four shots on the 36th end and two on the 37th to win Minor Singles for this year 32 to 25. A great match that held the onlookers interest till the last bowl was played.

On Sunday the number one Pennant side played a practice and

friendly match against the number two Pennant side.

On rink one, Peter Marsicano, Guilio D’Amico, Neil McGregor and Gordon Cox got off to a good start against Mick Mayhew, Jason Thompson, Colin Roberson and Kim Weston but then faltered a little before recovering and going on to win 22 to 16 to put the one team in front. Keith Goodwin, Ron Wainwright, Ignazio Mondello and Paul Cannell faced up to Mario Frezza, Tom Reed, Mark Buckley and Wayne Lodge and were able to get away to a good start to lead 12 to two and just managed to hold off their fast finishing opposition 18 to 14 to trail in the aggregate by two shots.

John Vincent, Jack Sajina, Garry Taylor and Peter Caldwell were early leaders against Colin Peuker, Don Jarvis, Denis Steinfort and Brian Seears but the latter gradually overcame the deficit to go on and win 23 to 11. With wins on two rinks and an aggregate 57 to 47 advantage the two’s were celebrating.

We wish Peter Harris every success with his operation next Friday.

Cooma Rugby Club history Bob Dorman

There were no easy games, as Our assembled team of â&#x20AC;&#x153;renegadesâ&#x20AC;? soon we soon found out. found out that the standard of rugby in the ACT was of a very good and solid standard.

COACHES As explained earlier, the ACT was a region The first coach was Brian Burton, a grazier in the state of NSW so accordingly, you had from out the back of Jindabyne who did a pretty to be a quality player indeed to move up to fair job in moulding the team. He was followed the representative ranks, from club football to by Steve Aboud, a very well-known grazier who the A.C.T. side and then NSW. The two NSW owned Michelago Station. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember any centres were the Royalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pairings of Barry other coaches except Tom Rathborne whose Sibley and Peter Scott (captain). Also Australian son Peter played either fly-half or fullback in internationals we were playing against were Peter the Cooma 1st grade side.

Cooma Colts mixed fortunes at home Monaro Panel Beaters U9 Monaro Panel Beaters U9’s played a determined and classy Queanbeyan Blues side that turned up ready for a big game.

Talon Kelly returned after a few weeks out injured and showed no ill effects with some great long runs we’re used to. Barrett Bannon was outstanding, playing his first entire game at dummy half, with great service all game. Lachlan Hemphill and Alex Aitkenhead continued their good form with the ball also making some good runs. Marcus Riley also improved with strong straight running. Jonah Perea and Jake Maddrell both defended strongly and with more confidence, improving each week. Cody Clarke and Flynn Palmer also gain confidence each week with ball, running strongly, hard and straight. James Bannon and Kristian Zusak ran the team left and right well, sticking solid to the game plan. Brock Freeburn and Michael Day defended well and ran strongly all game, gaining plenty of metres for us. Kayla Fleming played with plenty of heart as always with hard running and strong defence. With a little more work with our defensive line I’m sure we’ll keep improving each week.

Player of the Week was Barrett Bannon. McDonald’s Award went to Lachlan Hemphill.

SportsPower U10 The SportsPower U10’s played at home against Crookwell on Sunday. These boys were unlucky not to come away with the win, leading 16 to 8 at half time with tries from Jake Galvin and Jayden Williams and conversions from Clint Filtness.

Unfortunately in the second half lack of possession proved to be our downfall with the Crookwell boys running in three unconverted tries to win 28 to 16.

Defensively Lachlan McGufficke, Aiden Childs, Lane Londero, Jesse Eljuga, James Dyball and Darcy Clarke were power houses with strong defence. Precision passing from Arthur Bottom hit our runners in Hudson Laird, Jake Galvin, Jayden Williams, Clint Filtness, Daniel Watts and Josh Williams.

These boys are going from strength to strength, each week improving in defence and attack keep up the great efforts boys!

Points went to 1 Hudson Laird, 2 Jake Galvin, 3 Jayden Williams and Medals went to Lane Londero and Josh Williams.

Main Street U12 The Mainstreet U12’s played their first game of the season in Division 2 against Yass Magpies at Cooma Showground.

It took around 10 minutes for Yass to cross the line missing the conversion. This was partly due to Cooma attacking too slowly which saw Yass cross the line again missing another conversation.

Bailey Rogers made a line break running half the length of the field, and having support, Bailey passed the ball to Remy Oldrey to score under the post, which saw him converting his own try.

Half time score 6-8 to Yass.

In the second half there were some good runs from the forwards such as Brendon Weston, Sean Dixon, Sam Sergo.

Bailey Rogers crossed the line with Will Pendergast converting the goal. There was good tackling from Clayton Miners and Jayden Miners. Darnel Bartlett crossed the line, with Shaylee Strickland unfortunately missing the goal. Yass were too strong crossing the line two more times with one conversion. That made the score 18-16 with two minutes to go, it then made the game become a real nail biter with Yass having some good defence, we saw the boys under pressure playing the ball quickly trying hard to get the ball across the line, with around 10 seconds to go

on the clock James Hayden passed the ball to Remy Oldrey who scored. James Hayden converting making the final score 22-18.

Well done to the whole team.

Players Medal - Sam Sergo, The McDonalds award - Bailey Rogers and the Tourist Café mini meal went to Darcy Barnes.

Franks Butchery U13 Franks Butchery U13’s played Belconnen United on Sunday at home. The boys came out strongly with James Cahill running through the opposition scoring a try in the first two minutes of the game. The boys continued to have possession of the ball with Jarrod Jeszczenko finding the try line next, and then after great passing through the players Bill Zammit scored next with James Cahill converting.

Jack Reid and Josh Dwyer-Gersak held their positions well with great defence and spot on tackling all throughout the game.

Lachlan Jones was then next in possession of the ball scoring from dummy half.

James Cahill followed suit scoring again, converting his own try. Jak Adams, Josh McConkey and Dylan Elton all had a great game defending and controlling the ball perfectly. Bill Zammit scored next with James Hill again converting. James Hill made a great dash from play scoring the next try with Lachlan Inskip converting.

After a great off load from Lachlan Inskip, Tim Bottom scored his first this season in the corner with Lachlan Inskip converting.

James Hill again scored with Dylan Elton then converting. Will Saddler made a great break racing towards the try line scoring and converting his own try. Lachlan Inskip finished off the game scoring the last try leaving the score 58 points to 8 points. All the boys need to congratulate themselves for the effort and team work they put into the game as they all played a fantastic game of footy. Man of the match went to James Hill; Maccas awards went to Tim Bottom and Josh McConkey. Bec Medal went to James Hill. Thanks to first aid Jo Zammit, League safe Pete Gersak and Nick Dwyer-Gersak. Thanks to our sponsor Franks Butchery.

Snowy Plains Merino Stud U14 The Snowy Plains Merino Stud under 14’s played a strong Yass Magpie’s team who wanted revenge after being knocked out of last year’s semi finals by Cooma.

The Yass side scored first early in the game and converted.

Cooma Colts then defended strongly through Will Shingles, Kane Trent-Smith and Joel Saville. Yass were penalised for off side and then again for a shoulder charge which saw Cooma attacking through big runs by Alex Swan and Bailey Davis, however we lost possession and found ourselves on the defence again.

Mathew Chelin and Will Shingles were strong in defence and made tackle after tackle.

Through a penalty to us, Joel Saville was able to make some good metres and we were then attacking our line. Joel pushed over to score. The score was now 6 to 4 in Yass’s favour. Yass attacked back and we saw more good tackles

by Matthew Chelin and a good run by Charlie Allen who was unfortunate not to score. Yass had the scrum feed and again we found ourselves on the defence. Jake Hedger and Joel Saville provided some great tackles however our defence couldn’t keep Yass out and they scored under the posts with a successful conversion. Yass were now leading 12 to 4 at half time.

In the second half Cooma’s defence let them down greatly.

Cooma women’s bowls The semi finals of the Minor Pairs were two great games of bowls .

Rink 2 V Clark and M Obermaier, Mary had a slow start, but soon let Val know her presence.

There was never much in this game with the score seesawing from one player to the other, however Mary was able to finish off the stronger to win 25-8.

Rink 3 C Meillon was against up and coming player E Hamilton. This game also

was a real nail-biter until the last end with both players showing great ability to draw bowls.

Evelyn winning 25-22.

Congratulations to all the winners, and there will always be next year for all the losers.

May 28 will be the final of the club fours and the Minor Singles between M Obermaier and E Hamilton ( marker U Roberson).There will be a general meeting at 10.30 am with bowls starting 12 – 12.30 pm .

Tops are provided.

Our markers weren’t marking up and we weren’t moving up in defence. Through these errors Yass scored several strong tries.

Again we saw some good tackling by Will shingles, Jake Hedger and Matthew Chelin; however the missed tackles really helped Yass keep on top of us. The score near the end of the game was 40 to 4. In the final minutes Jamie Rogers made a break up the sideline and was able to score with Timothy Gregory making the conversion, the final score was 46 to 10.

The McDonald’s Award went to Mathew Chelin and the Azzan’nare Pizza Award went to Will Shingles.

Service One Members Banking U15 The Colts 15’s played Crookwell for the second time in as many weeks and playing at home were keen to reverse the score line from last week’s match.

After a good week at training we got off to the worst possible start with Crookwell scoring on the first tackle after the kickoff. To the boys credit we scored straight away to level the score and a strange day was in order.

Simple mistakes and poor execution cost us all over the park and the crowd would have been excused thinking that they were watching an U6’s match not an U15’s game. After speaking about what we had to do to all week to get on top of the Crookwell playmakers, we allowed them to run at will and they made very easy ground on every set.

We did show some glimpses of what we can do when we play to our game plan but they were very rare and the end score of 32-20 well and truly flattered the Colts.

Daniel Swain had a blinder and was about the only tackler on the field, well done 3 points. James Russell had a great game back at fullback 2 points and Troy Freebody showed improvement to earn himself 1 point.

Australian Hotel U16 The Australian Hotel U16 Colts got off to a flyer against the much bigger North Canberra Bears side at the Cooma Showground on Friday night with a try to Josh Zammit after three minutes.

The Bears were able to impose themselves with their bigger boys lumbering upfield and making good metres with the ball.

They were able to put on the next three tries and take the lead 18-6 after 20 minutes. Cooma were unlucky during this time with a number of try scoring opportunities to Jeremy Mackay and Connor Rendoth going unrewarded until the last minute before half time when Sean Bodycott-Pielli charged over for a try much to the disgust of the Bears. Half Time score 12-18.

The Colts again fired early in the second half and were unlucky not to come away with points after only two minutes.

Instead it was the Bears who scored the next 2 tries with the Colts defence holding solid until the last tackle on a number of occasions. Cooma hit back mid way through the second half with a try to Daniel Hopkin after good lead up work by both Jeremy Mackay and Josh Steinke.

This was converted from the sideline by Aaron Pidcock to reduce the lead to 8 points. The Bears posted a late try to take the match 30-18.

The two front rowers Jackson Reed and Sean Bodycott-Pielli tried hard all night, as did the entire team, but errors let the team down on the scoreboard. The medal this week went to Connor Rendoth who was like a machine in both attack and defence.

Fillies outclass Cobargo Eels The Cooma Fillies have continued their early season form with a resounding 56-6 win over the Cobargo Eels on Saturday afternoon.

Brianna Von der Burg cemented herself on the points list in only the second minute of the game to begin the day’s scoring plays.

Following a long range line break by Kirrily Carberry, Sheila Sillery looked to Von der Berg on the wing and took advantage of fragmented Cobargo defence to score out wide. From here, the game ebbed and flowed with each side putting the other to the test. Tracy Frazer and Monique Ingram defended with vigour, while in attack, Kristy Nichols and Anna Steel tested Cobargo’s line.

After 10 minutes of competitive play from both sides, Alicia Bolton added to Cooma’s score after finding space out wide and storming past defenders. Cobargo hit back through halfback Kristina Dummett and following Millie Boyle’s conversion, the score was locked at only 8-6.

With the game in the balance, Alana Nichols stepped past the Cobargo defenders well into the Fillies own half and sprinted, unsupported, to within 20m of the try line which set the scene to allow the tireless Maree Ingram to break through the line from a set play and score.

With Bolton’s conversion, they took the score to 14-6.

Shortly after, Abby Schofield shimmed around defenders on the flank to cross in the corner and just before half time, Maree Ingram got her second try under the posts and round out the first half.

With the score at 24-6, and with both teams showing

determination and grit in the first half, the game could still have gone either way.

Fortunately for the Fillies, expert long-distance try scorer Jade Lee swung the game in favour of the girls from the mountains, scoring two tries in identical conditions; one

within only minutes of the other.

Running off Bolton’s hip in the Fillies own 20m, Lee managed to speed her way through defenders at close range, before outclassing the fullback and scoring under the posts. Not to be outdone, Meg Bracher and Patrice Ingram followed with classy long range tries, taking pressure of Cooma’s defensive line and widening the gap between the two scores. With Cassandra Pinner and Georgie Clarke defending strongly, they gave the Fillies an opportunity to gain good field position and despite some handling issues, Von der Burg and Maree Ingram both crossed for their second tries.

The Fillies showed class in attack, but it will take hard work and continued motivation to maintain this form all year. Get behind your team and head down to the Cooma Showground on Saturday afternoon to see the girls take on the Merimbula/Pambula/Bombala Hot Doggies in the local derby.

Points this week went to Maree Ingram 3 and Alana Nichols 2, with Kirrily Carberry and Abby Schofield sharing 1 point. Players’ player was shared by Tracy Frazer and Patrice Ingram.

Stallions in good form The Cooma Stallions travelled to Cobargo on Saturday to take on the Cobargo Eels in what shaped as a critical game.

The Eels are always hard to beat at home and with this in mind the Stallions were prepared for a tough encounter.

The first half was a solid affair with both sides taking the game to each other with strong defence and enterprising attack, down 6 nil early.

The Stallions fought back to lead 14 - 6 at the break.

The halftime talk was straight - no stupid penalties and keep up the enthusiasm as Cobargo’s bigger men would tire in the second half.

The first 20 minutes was a hard slog with Cooma missing several chances to go further ahead, then what was said at halftime began to happen.

Cooma, through their speedy backs, started to take control running in 28 unanwered points in the final 20 minutes to win running away 42 – 6.

In the end, superior fitness and skill paved the way for a good away win.

Best for Cooma were Todd Williams, Sam Dowsett, and Steve Dunn with young guns Joel Smith and Jake Schofield bagging two tries each and Zach Smith converting five from eight.

Next week Cooma takes on Merimbula Bombala at home at the Cooma showground.

MEIS Golf Day attracted 100s Snowy Supercats struggled against Marist Brothers

The MEIS golf day organisers and committee with the Great White Shark at Cooma Golf Club last Saturday.

Cooma golf with Garry Atkinson Over the weekend Cooma Golf Club held the charity day for the Monaro Early Intervention Service and with over 100 golfers, part golfers and non-golfers playing the day was full of laughter, fun and occasionally serious golf.

AFL 2013 Tipping Competition

Over the week.

The MEIS day saw more than 100 golfers have a magic day and with plenty of prizes, good food and companionship everyone enjoyed themselves.

Our overall net winners were Brian Tugwell, Shaun Truter and Alan Fjording with an outstanding 52 and a half net. Full results will be published later.

On Sunday Tony Monday took out first place with a fine 38 points followed by Phil Amey with 37.

Ball winners went down to Richard Hanna with 33 points. Nearest the pin on the ninth went to Steve Young and Brian Searle took out the 17th with a fine shot.

The hottest golf on Sunday was by Prawit Prakotasung with three birdies on the first nine he was on fire with 22 points but unfortunately couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep the hot golf continuing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; probably lucky for the rest of the field.

Wednesday saw a single stableford conducted with 36 golfers heading out in beautiful late autumn conditions.

A grade winner was Norm Marshall with 38 points with Bart Joseph (36 points) runner up. B grade saw Charlie Beaumont amass 37 points with runner up Paul Beaver with 36 points and C grade was won by Geoff Glanville with a round of the day 40 points.

Runner up in C grade was Jim Darley with 36 points on a countback. Ball winners went down to 34 points.

Nearest the pin on the ninth went to Tony Slater and on the 17th Sandy Litchfield. Both gentlemen hit great shots within two metres from the cup.

All events for next Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday are individual stablefords.

See you on the course.

ROUND 9 Collingwood v Sydney Swans Port Adelaide v Geelong Cats GWS Giants v West Coast Eagles St Kilda v Western Bulldogs

A valiant but under represented Snowy Supercats played against Marist in the under 14s AFL competition on Saturday.

The team, captained by Tom Innes, took to the field on a sunny autumn day with the even up rule in play. This rules allows a team that is low in numbers to â&#x20AC;&#x153;borrow â&#x20AC;&#x153; players from the opposition.

Sometimes this allows for the borrowed players to be less sporting and favour their home team, but this wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the case. A good game of football developed in the first quarter with Marist running away and building a lead that was going to be hard to claw back.

The second quarter saw our team finally get some points on the board with good play coming from new comers Reagan Darrant and Maddy WoodIsles. The Wassink brothers , Nick and Kurt, kept the pressure on in the centre to cause Marist to slow their scoring back.

After the halftime break and with a swap over of replacement Marist players, the Supercats pushed on and made a noticeable difference in Maristsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; aggressive offence. Good team work amongst the backs had the ball moving up the wings pressuring Marist and allowing Reagan Darrant to score his first

goal. Molly Caldwell showed her kicking skills when given a penalty.

The final quarter saw a hotly contested game between the two sides but little chance of avoiding the outcome with Marist taking the win.

Unfortunately without 14 Supercat players it is an automatic forfeit. While the team took to the field aware of this it still didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dampen their spirits to play football.

The team is developing well with a mixture of new and seasoned players and with each week we are gaining more players.

Congratulations to Dan Swain for the sustained effort and quick thinking he exhibited during the match collecting the votes for Coaches Choice and Parents Choice. The playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; choice went to Molly Caldwell on her maiden game. Well done to the team and we are looking forward to playing against the Tuggeranong Hawks next Saturday at Gordon101 kicking off at 11 am. If you are in the area why not come along and support our juniors.

And, if you are interested in playing, come along to training on Tuesday and Thursdays at 5pm at Snowy Oval, all welcome.

Stallions select ball boys for 2013 Stallions players Sam Dowsett and Jake Schofield are pictured with the 2013 ball boys selected by the club.

They are James, Ben and Damo Hayden and Archie, Hughie and Charlie Allen.

Jindabyne Bushpigs celebrated 30 years in fine style last weekend, winning the seniors match against Bungendore 48-5, with nine games played on the day, followed by a gala ball.

Junior games as well as the Miss Piggies were played during the day, with many former Bushpigs players on hand to cheer the club on.

Sir Gruntsalot led the senior players onto the ground through a guard of honour formed by the womens teams.

It didn’t take long for the Bushpigs to assert their authority on the game, with Matt ‘Pecker’ Caldwell sprinting to the tryline to dive over a few metres out and start the scoring.

Tries rained freely on the John Connors Oval
