Every dog has star potential pennie scott

“I’ll have a catachino and four dog biscuits to go, please”

THE Riverina is home to many talented people from all walks of life and creative sectors yet often unknown in their own patch.

Located in Coolamon is a photography studio (the envy of her metro colleagues) where internationally acclaimed pet photographer, Kaz Tuckwell, has 12 individual sets and 10 hectares of land on, and in which she takes endearing photos of favourite pets.

“I’m known as the dog whisperer of the Riverina,” she laughs “as I can persuade dogs to wear costumes and sit quietly in prams, on suitcases or in buckets to have their photos taken.”

Kaz is seeking owners of dogs as subjects for her forthcoming pictorial ‘StoryTails’ featuring local fur-babies.

“This is the Chinese Year of The Dog and the perfect time to celebrate the wonderful furry family friends which bring so much happiness to thousands of people.”

“I want to include little, coloured, young, big, boofy, happy, working, unusual, athletic, old, rounded and bitsas in this book. Every dog is a potential star.”

“I want to include dogs from across the Riverina and I’m having a photo shoot at the Markets by the Lake (Albert) on Australia Day. Owners can book in or come on the day.”

“Bring your dog to The Shed which is behind the main market area.”

Kaz has been a professional photographer for decades starting her career taking beautiful baby shots.

“I was known as the Anne Geddes of Australia, a great honour,” she described.

“I became well known as the Mummy & Me Photography Studios of Coolamon where I learned how to create beautiful sets and use appropriate props which make such a difference to the overall effect of the final product.”

An accredited member of the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers, Kaz travels extensively, nationally and overseas to take photos and collect awards and is never without her camera.

“I started entering photographic competitions a few years ago and have won awards from the United States, Britain and New Zealand as well as many from Australia.

“It is a blast to have my peers evaluate what I do and decide my work is among the best they see. Entering competitions is beneficial for me professionally as the exposure and feedback help me improve technically, and brings in clients.”

Kaz can be contacted via her Facebook Page Kaz Empire or call her on 0408 266 330 to arrange a time for your dog to be photographed. The sitting fee is $99 per furry-friend.

The lighter side...

The flushes and giggles erupted in the Wagga Weekly office when news hit that the Sydney Hotshots male revue show was coming to Wagga, Lockhart, Albury and Griffith next month.

Usually the domain of hen’s parties and those looking for a night of escapism and a laugh, the Hot Shots have to be admired for the work they do to make their show so slick, and their physiques so fine.

The hours they must put into the gym to look like that is mindboggling.

Now, Hot Shots can also cite “relationship counsellors” to the mix of skills, with the show’s producer, Paul Reynolds, offering Wagga Weekly readers some tips on keeping that special lady in your life happy.

“We get a lot of people asking that question a lot which is interesting in itself,” said Paul Reynolds.

“The number one tip is, don’t be arrogant. Number two is, keep your hygiene levels up, and thirdly, treat all women like they’re queens,” Paul said.

As well as perfectly-formed physiques, thumping beats and a big dose of humour, Sydney Hot Shots relies heavily on cheeky smiles and twinkling eyes, making those in their line of sight think they might just have a chance.

As our Wagga Weekly story inside shows, they could well be right, with some performers not only finding true love, but going on to having a long and happy life with a girl who simply came along to see a show with her friends.

So the New Year’s resolution of finding true love may not be found online, but rather at the Commercial Club, with an Adonis who was simply passing through. Stranger things have happened.

A forest for the loungeroom

IF you have that favourite tree species in nature and would like to be able to admire it in both the garden and your loungeroom, the Wagga Bonsai Society may be able to provide just what you need.

The Society is starting a series of classes for beginners as part of its monthly meetings on the third Saturday of each month.

The Society’s president, Gail Tooth, said the hour-long classes would begin on 17th February and continue for six months.

“Beginners and people already nurturing plants will receive expert advice on techniques such as pruning, wiring, root reduction, potting and the application of fertiliser,” Gail said.

“The classes are a great way to be introduced to Bonsai and its techniques “As well as the beginner’s classes, anyone joining the Society will be able to develop bonsai skills through presentations at its meetings, show and tell displays, workshops and assistance to work on trees.

“The Society also has field trips to local and interstate nurseries as well as demonstrations, exhibitions and workshops from some of the Australia’s leading bonsai artists,” Gail said.

Founded in 1982, the Wagga Bonsai Society currently has members ranging in age from teenagers to people in their 80’s, with the varied experience embracing both traditional exotic and Australian native plants. A foundation member of the Society, Pat Green, has about 30 deciduous trees, including an olive tree she acquired in 1999 during a dig in a park in Adelaide.

“The olive tree is considered noxious in South Australia, so we were able to take cuttings and young plants,” Pat said, adding that some enthusiasts even took chainsaws to get large cuttings.

In contrast to Pat’s start in April 1982, teenager, Joe Howe, joined the Society as its youngest member only last year along with his father Steve, making Bonsai a family affair.

Already Joe and his father have 10 trees and they expect to have many more after they learn more about Bonsai at the

upcoming beginner’s classes.

The ancient artform of growing miniature trees in containers originated in China, but is most widely known for its association with Japanese culture. The practice combines the disciplines of visual art and horticulture in which almost any species of plant can be cultivated.

The Wagga Bonsai Society meets in the Association of Riverina Cultural Clubs Hall (ARCC) in Tarcutta Street on the third Saturday of each month from 1:00 pm until around 5.00 pm.

For further information contact Gail Tooth, phone 6922 4356 or email: ww.bs@hotmail.com.

The Society also is on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ WaggaWaggaBonsaiSociety and has a Blog at http://waggawaggabonsai.blogspot.com.au/

Specifically bred cattle are athletic rodeo performers pennie scott

FOR thousands of country people, the annual rodeo is a feature of their calendar.

The cowboys, cowgirls, clowns, hotdogs, big hats, cuban heels and tension are vital ingredients in every event, with the commentators experienced at building the atmosphere for the drawcard events.

Standing quietly in the yards behind the chutes and the arena are the rodeo stock – horses and cattle deliberately trained for these special events. They are especially bred to be athletic, supple, competitive and display their attitude as entertainers.

There is still widespread misunderstanding that bucking bulls and horses are simply found at auctions, forced into a truck, unloaded into yards, have rigging strapped onto them then let loose into an arena, bucking and twisting operating out of fear to unload the rider.

Nothing is further from the truth.

John ‘Happy’ Gill is the fourth generation of his family to continue its tradition of being entertainers and showpeople with horses and cattle at the core of their enterprise.

“I was born on the road to Koondrook and my youngest son, Jarrod, was born on the road to Condobolin as we were on the road to these towns to put on our shows,” Happy explained.

“My grandparents and their families were all entertainers as were my parents, and my wife, Margaret and I”, he said.

“We had aunts and uncles in the Wild West Show which toured for most of the year around Australia and then rodeo events. My mother, Gladys Gill was the Women’s Bucking Bronc Champion in 1946 and 1947, then my Aunt Kittie won the same title in 1948.”

“I’ve never known life without horses and cattle,” Happy said.

On the Gill family’s property north of The Rock there are unusual installations greeting visitors next to the road to the house and in another location further up the hill.

“This is where we’ve buried our champion bucking bulls and horses,” Happy explained. “Once they retire from the circuits, they come home to retire and end their lives in these paddocks.”

“There are mares, stallions, geldings and bulls – all of whom have been part of our team, sometimes for decades, and they deserve a quiet life until they die naturally.”

Unlike other cattle breeders (especially beef) seeking physical characteristics to grow and accumulate as much muscle in the shortest possible time, Happy’s eye notices athletic attributes in breeds most suited to bucking, a natural activity for horses and cattle as a show of exuberance.

“The perfect build for a bucking bull is a big, muscly forequarter, a short barrel, light in the hindquarters and bloody big horns. Bucking bulls need small testicles and a tight sheath as these two parts of their anatomy tend to get swung around quite a lot,” he smiled.

“You have to remember these bulls are performing very athletic movements so they need to be fit and agile and trained to go to the unsaddling yard when the rider is off his back.

“We’ve had a breeding program here for years with 35 cows, all who were good buckers so that trait is passed on to their calves. None of our older cows go to abattoirs; they die here with dignity. If a bull isn’t going to make the grade then he will be sent for meat, but, as they don’t commence the circuit until they are at least 200kg, they have enjoyed a happy life in open paddocks.”

Current Australia Professional Rodeo Association (APRA) Bucking Bull of the Year, High Flying Akubra, is a mildmannered bull at home with his two favourite mates, but a superstar on the rodeo circuit.

Bulls from the Gill’s string have developed a reputation for almost being unrideable as very few cowboys have clocked up a score on them. “The addition of a flank-rope on a bull and horse is to encourage them to buck but, to buck in a way they are less likely to injure themselves,” Happy said.

The Code of Conduct on Animal Welfare is strictly developed and controlled, with the APRA and NSW Department of Primary Industry collaborating to make the safety of all rodeo stock the highest priority. APRA Chairman of Animal Welfare, Steve Bradshaw, outlined just some of the mandatory requirements rodeo contractors have to fulfill to have stock used for rodeos.

“The minimum age for a bucking horse

is four years, lactating mares or foals cannot be used and fireworks can’t be let off while a rodeo is being run,” Steve said.

“There are very stringent self-regulated protocols which, if not adhered to, will result in sanctions against that contractor,” he said.

“Stock owners and contractors must be approved by the APRA veterinary committee and meet all the conditions to gain accreditation.”

After witnessing first-hand the animals at the Gill’s property, they enjoy a naturally free life except when it’s time for work. That’s when the show business personalities come out and they are the star performers.

Look out for High Flying Akubra and the other bulls and broncs at the Gil Matthews Pro-Rodeo is on Saturday 3 February at the Equex Complex in Copland Street, Wagga when Australia’s best cowboys attempt to make the eight seconds and get a high score on these four-legged entertainers.

Your Local Wagga Weekly - Friday, January 19, 2018

NEWS Marguerite McKinnon IT’S amazing how quickly a group of intelligent, savvy women can morph into a gaggle of giddy squealing creatures when perfectly-formed confident men start dancing before them in choreographed unison. Having some banging tunes only adds to the loss of inhibition.

This phenomenon will be experienced in the Riverina next month, when the Sydney Hotshots Ladies Night Show comes to town.

“We’ve got a great bunch of talented guys coming to Wagga in February who will give a nice mixed fruit salad of fun in the show,” said show producer Paul Reynolds. Fruit salad, you say? Please tell us more.

“We have guys from all over the world wanting to sign up with us, along with some great home-grown talent. They all having something to bring and we train them up, get them choreographed, and send them down to the show and the girls absolutely love them,” Paul said.

Sydney Hotshots have three shows scheduled for the Riverina; Lockhart on February 15, Albury on February 16 and the Commercial Club in Wagga on Saturday February 17.

With washboard abs, confidence to burn and a cheeky twinkle in their eyes which drives femmes crazy, the Sydney Hotshots is considered one of Australia’s best male revues but, assure the organisers, the show is strictly good fun and not smutty.

“We have nothing that’s too risqué, there’s no full nudity but we are bulging with content throughout the show, Paul said.

“It’s all in a bit of fun which is why we get such crowds; the girls absolutely love it.”

In some incidences, girls get far more than a show.

Hot shots for love

Hotshots in action on stage.

“We lose guys all the time to relationships.”

One performer; Billy, from Canada, did a strip-a-gram for a Hen’s Party when a job became a whole lot more.

“Billy met the love of his life, Paula.

They got married, had three beautiful children, and now run a successful fitness business together. It happens.”

All the single ladies, put your hands up.

Paul says he won’t be surprised if a similar story happens in Wagga where girls like Daisy and her friends have the chance to find their own special fruit salad too.

The escapism factor is another drawcard with the dancers employing humour and fantasy costumes to conjure up life with such in-demand dream-guys as a crazilytoned policeman who is determined to bring to justice anyone naughty enough to misbehave, or the fire-fighter who manages

to battle blazes without a shirt, yet can still walk away without so much as a whiff of smoke inhalation or having one of those shiny muscles even remotely singed, grabbing his hose and rescuing equipment, and do it all over again.

The formula has worked successfully for more than 20 years in shows across Australia and New Zealand, making it an unusual mix of titillation with credibility.

With 2,000 Hen’s Party’s a year plus their regular shows, Paul admits it’s the rush of being screamed at and fawned over wears off, yet some Hot Shots are seasoned veterans.

“Time goes on and we have a pretty packed schedule with the shows, Public Relations and of course the training at the gym and practicing routines, but its hard work and the guys have to be pretty focussed,” Paul said.

One performer who will be appearing at the Wagga show has come all the way from England and can be claimed by the Riverina after spending time in the region in his two-year working visa.

“Oh yes, the crowd can claim a little ownership with Ashley as he got his tan from the Riverina sun and honed his muscles working in the Riverina too,” laughed Paul.

It’s a bit of a stretch but when it comes to Hot Shots, who have built a business on imagination and lost inhibitions, creative logic seems to fit the perfectly-formed mould.

The Sydney Hot Shots will be taking their male revue show to venues across New South Wales as part of a national tour, with Griffith the first in our region on Friday February 9, before returning the following week.

The show says Wagga is one of their favourite stops because the crowd is always so enthusiastic.

“Wagga is really good because is so well populated. The girls who come really love our show and we mix it up for them every time we come so they get something new,” Paul said.

“Getting the feedback from a happy crowd really pumps the guys up and makes them excel, and it makes them happy too, so everyone wins.

“And we really love performing at The Commercial Club, too. It’s a great venue for us and for the guests.”

The Wagga Weekly is giving away 5 double passes to see the Wagga show on 17 February.

Quiet achievers recognised

MANY who give their time and energy to society do it without accolades, without fanfare, and, most of all, with little recognition in the wider community.

But the Wagga Wagga City Council is taking steps once again to single out those people the community believe are the most deserving for their actions.

And, for the first time, young people aged from 12 to 25 years will be recognised for volunteer work through an Intergenerational Leadership Award which recognises the development of connections made and programs delivered across the community that foster genuine interaction between people of all ages and demonstrate positive ageing.

Overall the Wagga Local Achievement Awards, which previously were the Community Service Awards, recognise volunteers aged 50 and over in the areas of diversity and inclusion, education, healthy and active living and arts and culture.

Wagga Wagga City Council’s Director Community, Janice Summerhayes says the city is lucky to have so many people in the community who selflessly give their time

to clubs, groups, causes and more.

“The awards are a fantastic way to thank older volunteers for their enormous contribution to our community,” Janice said, adding that individuals and community group should nominate by 16 March anyone whose work deserves to be celebrated.

The awards will be made to volunteers who achieve positive change for marginalised individuals and/or groups in the community, create opportunities for increased access to leisure, lifestyle and educational courses.

Other categories recognise volunteers who create opportunities for increased access to community based health and recreational programs and others who have made a significant contribution to Wagga’s cultural landscape.

Nomination forms are available from the customer service at the Civic Centre or online at www.wagga.nsw.gov.au/laawards.

Nominations close at 5pm Friday, 16 March and finalists will be presented with their awards on 9 April during a ceremony at the Civic Centre.

EDITORIAL & LETTERS

Letter to the editor

ONE swallow does not a summer make.

Nor does a hot day or two in January. Yet for those slowly easing their way into 2018, perusing social media, you could be mistaken for thinking that last week’s near record 47.3 degree maximum at Penrith was conclusive evidence that climate change is real.

The left, progressives, and the climate change cheer squad were quick to jump on this hot weather and throw it in the face of climate change deniers.

“It’s hot! Really hot! How can you deny climate change in the face of this evidence?”

In reality, you could easily. All that this week’s hot weather was evidence of was just that – hot weather. To use it as evidence of climate change being real is foolish.

Right now, you’re probably thinking either your author is either another one of those climate change denying nut jobs

(I am a straight, white, male, so it’s a reasonable assumption), or one of those guys that “knows” the truth about the climate change conspiracy, and the agenda being pushed by the scientific community.

Let me clear things up. Climate change is real. Climate change is almost certainly being influenced by human activity. We need to desperately start taking serious action to head off the worst impacts of climate change.

It is a mistake, however, to point at hot weather in summer as being evidence of climate change, and it is a mistake the left, and other good meaning people who accept the science constantly make. It is true that on one level, more hot weather and more hot, dry days, are what we would expect if the climate is warming on earth. However, hot days are also normal, and it is difficult to point at a particular day, and pinpoint it as being hot because of climate change.

Engaging in this sort of exercise,

and pointing at 47 degree days as being evidence of climate change in the climate change debate is dangerous. It really just opens the door for the “very stable geniuses” out there to engage in the same sort of exercise and point at cold weather on the East Coast of the United States during winter as evidence that climate change is not real.

It’s an argument that falls into the same error of understanding of climate science that most deniers slip into, which is failing to understand the difference between weather and climate. In fact, it is rare to find a denier that actually understands this difference, and they end up arguing that climate is not changing, without even knowing what climate actually is! They’ll show you a newspaper story from 1870 which shows that it was 49 degrees on 16th February that year in Boree Creek as if its evidence of something.

Weather is short term conditions in

the atmosphere. Today it was hot. This week was hot. That is weather. Climate are the long-term temperatures averages over time. Not days and weeks, but years.

Climate is not concerned with short term variability, but what an average temperature is.

It is tempting to do, and whilst technically symptomatic of what we would expect in a warming climate, those of us on the side of science and reason should really avoid getting in the weather debates.

Yes, it was hot this week. But we also need to remember that this winter will have cold days that deniers will incorrectly cite to derail the discussion.

What is far more important is that global average temperatures are increasing.

That is a fact. And that is a fact we should be really concerned about.

Steven Cook, Wagga 11 January 2018

Editorial

pennie scott

HEARING about the suicide of 14-yearold Amy “Dolly” Everett last week hit me in the heart for a number of reasons.

I don’t necessarily agree with the old adage ‘one hadn’t reached their potential by living four score years and ten’ as potential can be realised at any age.

What really shocked me was that cyber-bullying was the cause of this young country girl deciding she could no longer bear the nastiness being doled out to her and there was no other option to escape it.

Being bullied is one thing but, who is responsible for the nasty small-minded people who are the bullies?

Electronic gadgetry has enabled people to connect with anyone, anywhere at any time of the day and night however there appears to be little, if any, etiquette training provided to the holders of these devices. Instead, giving a child a smartphone (“everyone else has one, why can’t I?”) is attached to the premise they are free to do anything with them.

When a child, I played tennis and golf.

Both sports have rules of the game and etiquette attached as well as developing athletic proficiency in each sport.

Our elders provided the information and, if we ever forgot, we were quickly reminded so the knowledge became ingrained. Playing these sports was a privilege (there were costs attached) which my parents paid.

These days, I hear children as young as three demanding their parents hand them their smartphones so they can play games.

It is rare to find a child under the age of ten who doesn’t have their own device.

How many parents sit down with their child when providing this gadget (and paying for the unfettered use) to explain the etiquette that must accompany the privilege of being the use of a smartphone?

I suspect very few.

Why? Because I see parents being bullied and intimidated by their own children and crumbling to the demands placed upon them by the high maintenance ‘princes and princesses’ who display such disrespectful behaviour towards their own parents and, obviously, others.

People treat you the way you let them.

Some kids’ parents are responsible for the suicide of beautiful, sad and desperate Amy “Dolly” Everett.

This is a wake-up call to every parent whose children are in possession of a smartphone.

Do you know with whom they are connected?

Do you know what they actually are doing with their smartphones?

Have you given them any etiquette training regarding it being a privilege to actually use one?

May there be a reversal of pathetic parents who are too scared to intervene in their children’s cyber-lives.

Cyber-bullying (and any form of bullying) is revolting.

Parents – it is up to us to take responsibility.

Settlers now have 19 new apartments care and independence...

Stephen McCrea Manager, Settlers Apartments

Settlers Apartments in the leafy suburb of Estella, close to Wagga’s town centre, is about to enter a new phase in its recent development and expansion.

There are 19 new apartments available for sale now, adding to 67 existing apartments.

Settlers Apartments have been in operation for nine years, developed as a continuation of Settlers Village, and this latest release gives prospective residents, aged over 55, the opportunity to be part of a safe, secure and independent community.

Manager Stephen McCrea said the many benefits of assisted living at Settlers Apartments was providing more options in seniors living.

“The Settlers Group identified the need in the local community for “Assisted Living” and Settlers Apartments was opened in 2008 in response to that need,” Mr McCrea said.

“Assisted living gives people the choice, to be as independent as they like, knowing there is always help, care and assistance on hand if and when they need it.

“Our facility has now expanded to accommodate the needs of the local community and we’re pleased to offer 19 new apartments as an option for prospective residents.”

Mr McCrea said Settlers took the hard tasks out of life, such as laundry washing, cleaning and cooking. There is also 24/7 care available, with all staff fully qualified.

New household recycling opportunity

Caroline Angel explaining the tender process for organic waste collection.

WAGGA residents will have the opportunity in future to contribute further to the production of high quality compost through an initiative of the Wagga Wagga City Council.

Under the move, residents receiving household waste collection will be able to add food scraps to the green waste bins currently used for lawn clippings and other garden organics.

As part of the change, the 240-litre food and garden organic waste bin kerbside collection will move from a fortnightly schedule to weekly from 2 April. However, the red lid will be collected every two

weeks instead of the current weekly schedule. The yellow lid bins will continue to be collected fortnightly.

Director of the Council’s Commercial Operations, Caroline Angel, said that efforts were underway to award a contract for the kerbside collection service before it begins on 2 April.

“Kerbside waste is one of the most important services Council provides, so it’s vital the option we go with is in the best interest for the community,” Caroline said.

“Tenders were called to recycle organic waste last year, but Council gave the issue more thought and decided the best approach was to seek pricing on a number of different options,” she said.

The options include a short-term contract of up to 24 months to allow processing to start on 2 April while a longterm processor sets up its facility.

As part of the project, up to five hectares of land will be made available for lease at the Gregadoo Waste Management Centre for construction of a processing facility.

“We know the community wants government to offer efficient and sustainable services and this new initiative in recycling, which reduces waste being buried in the ground, is a good example of how Council is delivering on this community goal,” Caroline said.

Tenders for collecting and processing food and garden organics will close on Friday 9 February. The tender documentation is available on the Council website at E-Tendering.

SoAct set to amuse IF you have a penchant for a biscuit and a cup of tea you might like to go along to the basement theatre on any Saturday next month. There you’ll be treated to a production of the musical comedy, Dinkum Assorted is being performed by members of the Wagga School of Arts Community Theatre, SoAct.

DESTINATION RIVERINA MURRAY

The wonderful pubs of Wagga Wagga Genevieve Fleming, Chairperson of Destination Riverina Murray

YOU’VE probably spotted the fact that there are a lot of pubs in Wagga. We’re spoilt for choice to say the least. But have you ventured outside your comfort zone lately and visited some of the newest or most recently refurbished pubs?

Let’s start with the Riverina Hotel on the corner of Crampton and Fitzmaurice Streets, Wagga’s oldest, still operating pub. It started life in 1851 as the Hope Inn and has enjoyed many owners and loyal customers along the way. Today it’s a family business run by Joe Walsh and his son Todd.

With many of its original features intact, the front bar is full of traditional charm, which is complemented by the recently renovated beer garden. The bistro does a modern take on Aussie pub food and is open seven days a week. On Australia Day 2018, the Riv, as it’s affectionately known,

will have a great themed bistro menu, a raffle and live music.

Another Wagga institution on Fitzmaurice Street is Romano’s Hotel. This icon of the Riverina pub scene has been rejuvenated to become a venue to rival anything in Sydney or Melbourne.

The only place in town where you can get Pimms on tap all summer long, Romano’s Hotel also offers weeknight feasts, including parmigiana Mondays, fish and chip Tuesdays and pasta Wednesdays, all for $18. Thursdays are for $22 T-bone steaks and of course there’s always a full menu of favourites like pork belly, salmon, ribs, risotto and $10 kids’ meals.

Within Romano’s you’ll find the Hampden, a sophisticated cocktail bar with exposed brick walls and rustic floorboards which highlight the 1857 features of the building. Its drinks menu features fabulous cocktails, craft beers, unique wines and what’s believed to be the largest spirit and liqueur range in the Riverina. The Hamp-

den is the perfect place to meet friends after work or enjoy a special night out.

Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday the Hampden hosts its $10 cocktail hour from 5-7pm.

From cocktails to beer but still on Fitzmaurice Street is the Thirsty Crow, a unique brew house which is so much more than just a pub. Thirsty Crow is home to a working brewery that stands proudly within the bar, so you can see the brewing action up close. Head brewer, Craig Wealands, is responsible for producing a core collection of 11 beers with everything from the popular Sporting Ale to the internationally acclaimed Vanilla Milk Stout that has won more gold medals than any other beer entered in the Australian International Beer Awards.

The Thirsty Crow team isn’t just passionate about beer though; the food is another big drawcard, with a menu full of delicious pizzas, brewery bites, sharing plates, house-smoked smallgoods and

regional produce. Thirsty Crow does lunch Wednesday to Sunday and dinner seven nights a week. On weekends it’s open for breakfast from 8-11:30am.

Whether you’re after a great meal, a night out for the whole family or just an ice-cold beer, there are so many great pubs to choose from. If you’re near the heart of town check out the Union Club, the William Farrer, the Victoria Hotel (aka the Vic), the Duke of Kent, the Farmers’ Home or the Sportsmen’s Club. And further afield you’ll find the Kooringal Hotel, the Thomas Blamey Tavern, the Red Steer and the Palm and Prawn to name just a few.

So why not get out of the house on a balmy evening this summer and give yourself a night off from cooking? Treat yourself to a meal and a chilled glass of something lovely at one of Wagga’s wonderful pubs. Your family will be pleased you did!

Rodeo wrangle (part 2) Alan Reid LAST week Ben arrived at the local bush picnic rodeo to be challenged by the bloke in the black hat about tying his horse up at the back of the chute, his eligibility to enter the buckjump because of his age and the choice of his horse for the event. Now Ben is about to put all that to the test as he eases into the saddle, takes a measured length of the bucking rein, jams down his hat, set himself with his spurs resting against the shoulder of the blue horse standing calmly in the chute and pushes his right hand high in the air.

Ben nodded to the chute boss and the gate swung open.

The blue horse stood, rigid, its legs spread and head turned, surveying the open space in the arena, the officials with their score sheets, the anxious look on the face of the chute boss. The riders on the chutes stopped their preparations and watched, the loud speakers muted; and the black hat dipped, covering the face beneath as

it moulded with the bright red shirt. The sudden silence of anticipation flooded over the arena and through the surrounding grandstands.

Ben sat motionless, watching the mane between the ears. He clicked his tongue and the ears turned. He flicked the bucking rein and clicked again. The ears flattened back along the neck and the world underneath him exploded. The blue horse reared straight up and swivelled, almost bashing Ben’s head against the back of the chute before uncoiling into the arena to jar heavily on its front legs with its hindquarters twisted high in the air.

The chute boss, the scorers and the riders scattered in their attempts to climb up the face of the chute gates as the blue horse gyrated through their station with its head wedged between its legs, throwing, twisting, rearing, leaping, diving.

Ben sat, part of the horse, his eyes glued to the mane at the point of the wither just beyond the pommel of the saddle, following its every move; skyward and down; circling and askew; springing on the balls of his feet as each bone-jarring slap of the stretched stirrup leather heralded a return to Earth. His

feet rocked rhythmically along the sides of the horse as he spurred an accumulation of points. His big hands keeping a firm strain on the bucking rein, allowing the horse freedom to rear without falling, freedom to jam its head between its legs and throw its wildly twisting rump into the air. Horse and rider almost vanishing in a cloud of dust as the whip cracked to announce the eight seconds.

“Whoa!” Ben shouted above the speaker’s call and the horse stood, as though fitted with Athena’s bridle, blowing, prancing, fidgeting as the rider reached back, removed the flank rope and dismounted under the watchful gaze of the pick-up riders. Ben patted his companion on the neck, stroked its forehead and whispered in its ear. He walked from the arena, a bit player, leading the blue horse with its head held high, tugging playfully at the bucking rein dancing a Lipizzaner Andalusian ballet as the crowd roared its approval amid a chorus of car horns.

The black hat wasn’t at the presentation, and plenty of the other riders had slapped Ben on the back and offered to share a beer before the young rider appeared in the bar.

“Buy you a beer Ben?” he offered.

“No, I’ll buy you one mate,” Ben said broadly. “After all I took out the money you had your sights set on.”

“It’s a good horse and it was a good ride.

You deserved to win,” the black hat said.

“It’s usually hard to get a good score at these picnic carnivals when you don’t have your own mount and have to rely on stock that’s been run in just for the rodeo.

Anyway, where you headed?”

“I won’t be goin’ anywhere for a while thanks to you and your horse,” he added.

“You know of any work around here?”

“I might be able to help out there,” Ben offered. “I have to shift some brumbies and break a few fresh horses out of the mob. A good rider would be handy. You interested?”

“How d’ ya know I’m any good outside the arena.” the black hat said.

“You came back here and offered me a beer,” Ben said. “That tells me enough about you. Now do you want the job or not?” The black hat nodded agreement.

“OK,” Ben said shaking by the hand.

“What’s your name?”

“Hendricks,” he replied.

“Well, now that’s out of the way, let me go and get you that beer Mr Hendricks.”

New face for Junee festival

JUNEE’S Rhythm and Rail Festival has moved a step closer to its annual event with the election of a new president.

He is Nicholas Pyers who has taken over the role from Jeanne Kennedy who is stepping down because of personal commitments.

On her retirement, Jeanne said that she was leaving the Festival in the hands of a capable and hard-working committee supported by a team of dedicated volunteers.

“Over the past couple of years we’ve worked together to make the Festival a huge success, and I know its tenth anniversary in March will continue to grow upon our previous efforts and the ongoing dedication of the committee,” Jeanne said.

Through involvement with the Junee Business and Trades, Jeanne will continue her association with the Rhythm and Rail Festival with various behind the scenes services and assistance with some other tasks.

“I am planning on attending, and enjoying, a number of the 2018 Festival events and hope to see my fellow Junee residents over the Festival weekend,” she said.

Confirming the agreement on the new president, the Festival Committee said that Jeanne’s dedication over the past few years helped make the recent Festivals a success while her help in guiding the current team would make the tenth anniversary even bigger and better.

Nicholas, who’s also the publicity coordinator and webmaster for the Rhythm and Rail Festival, said that the Festival

combines an amazing harmony between two very different passions — music and trains.

“I’m excited be involved with the Festival’s Tenth Anniversary,” he said.

“As publicity co-ordinator and webmaster I’ve already been heavily involved with the many aspects of the Festival, so there will be no loss of continuity with existing events and projects.

“I’m looking forward to seeing the all the various events and activities coming together and providing the residents and visitors to Junee with the best Rhythm and Rail Festival yet,” he said.

While announcing the new president, the committee also took the opportunity to appoint Al Smith as Vice President of the Rhythm and Rail Festival.

The Festival, which will run from Friday 9 March until Sunday 11 March, has received entries in the street parade already along with an array of stalls confirmed for the markets in Memorial Park. The committee has confirmed also that heritage trains will be a major part of the 2018 Festival, along with miniature train rides for children and the ‘big kids’.

The Festival’s opening event will be a bush dance in the heritage listed Athenium Theatre while numerous musical performances have been confirmed for venues across Junee Shire.

The ever-popular poets breakfast will take place on Sunday morning, while the Rotary Gnomes will return to challenge the Junee community.

Nicholas Pyers, President of the Rhythm and Rail Festival

How do you communicate?

Steve Barker: I am Enough Coaching

SO last week I talked about communication and arguments, escalation and respect.

I would like to keep the same theme this week and raise your awareness to the unspoken communication; the way that we communicate through our body language and being.

You must have experienced when talking to someone about something and they yawned in front of you without an apology or anything. How did that make you feel as the person who was talking? Maybe, it made you feel insignificant, boring, uninteresting or like you were wasting your time.

Now this is the same if, when you are listening, you don’t maintain eye contact. If you are distracted and not focusing on what the other person is talking about, you may as well be yawning in their face.

I would like also to raise your awareness to your body language. What is your posture?

We know that when we are feeling under attack, we tend to cross our arms or legs. Maybe you are doing this subconsciously and therefore portraying subconsciously that you are disinterested.

These are just a few of the very many ways that we communicate nonverbally; and let’s not get into eye rolling and sighing.

So please bear these in mind when you are talking to your teenager.

Not listening fully is a massive sign of disrespect and we all like to be afforded at least the minimum standard of respect.

Unfortunately, I don’t have enough words in this article to do this subject justice, there is just so much I would love to cover. However, I am happy to discuss this further with you in person if you like. If you would like to catch up for a coffee and chat further please email steve@iamenoughcoaching.com.

Everybody is welcome to a free seminar with Malcolm Gregory and myself this Friday 19th of January at the Council Committee Meeting Room from 9am until midday.

Call Steve Barker on 0499 152 552 with any queries.

The Future of Construction in the Riverina THE construction industry has an exciting future in the Riverina, with significant changes likely to occur by 2029 because of the impact of numerous global social, economic, technology and environmental trends. These trends include the Circular Economy, new materials, 3D printing, improved design, solar power, robots, prefabrication, smart homes and augmented reality.

Likely benefits will include improved productivity, sustainability, wellbeing and affordability.

Globally the construction industry is the largest consumer of materials such as steel and timber, and contributes about 30% of global carbon emissions.

The growing trend towards a Circular Economy, with a focus on design, reuse, repair and recycling, could achieve large energy savings, see significant cuts in emission rates, and reduce landfill.

By 2029 homes and buildings will use new materials, including eco-friendly materials, clear glass windows which generate energy and solar cell materials that can be used as a coating on traditional materials instead of just having solar panels on a roof.

The costs of construction will reduce as a result of productivity improvements such as 3D printing, robots, estimating software and increased prefabrication for modular housing. At a global level, small functional houses will be 3D printed in a day for areas hit by cyclones or earthquakes. The average house in the Riverina will utilise this 3D printing technology also to reduce construction time, as could

Tiny Homes.Building Information modelling will enable complete three-dimensional computer design of buildings across professional disciplines, and drones will be used for monitoring worksites, sending data and lifting small items.

Artificial Intelligence will enable design to global best practice, improving sustainability, energy use and even occupant wellbeing by controlling the internal environment. Homes and buildings will be designed to be smarter, connecting people, systems and the environment so that it will be simple and routine to monitor and control parameters such as lighting, water, energy, air conditioning and security.

These and other trends offer the potential for the construction industry to play a key role in achieving significant benefits to our economy, environment and lifestyle in the Riverina.

Being a Strategic Futurist enables me to be a part of making the future happen, not just talk about what it could be. I explore the global future using more than 1500 global trends, then apply those trends to each unique client situation using strategic foresight to help individuals, businesses and communities develop strategies to create new futures. “Choice, not chance, determines destiny” (Aristotle) To support future prosperity in the Riverina, I am happy to give talks to schools, teachers and service clubs. And if you have a particular area of interest in the future, let the Wagga Weekly News know what it is and I’ll schedule it for a future column.

Young blood at the helm Marguerite McKinnon

WOMEN’S Health Centre pioneer Jan Roberts has stepped down from the top job in favour of ‘younger blood’ and highlyrespected new president, Jenny Rolfe.

For most observers, the women at the helm of the Wagga Women’s Health Centre are a very strong bunch. For some, that doesn’t sit well, and for nearly 40 years, the centre has had to fight for women amid cat calls from some claiming they’re “just a pack of lesbians”.

Happily, the tide is turning as education and maturity bubbles to the surface of leadership.

Respected pioneer, Jan Roberts has been there from the start and new president Jenny Rolfe says she has big shoes to fill.

“One of the things I admire about Jan in particular is her ability to call out actions and behaviour in a respectful way. She is absolutely uncompromising, and I really respect that, but she highlights issues and engages people in such a way that she can do it without necessarily offending,” Jenny said.

The mutual admiration is clear as Jenny is seen as a woman with a sharp mind, blueblood economic credentials, and a passion, just like Jan’s, that also fizzes through her veins.

“Jenny will do amazingly well because she is a big-hearted woman and very knowledgeable, particularly on social issues,” Jan said.

“The Wagga Women’s Health Centre is part of my life. Last year I was made a Life Member at the Annual General Meeting and we are all working towards the 40th Anniversary of the centre in 2019. So there is still so much to do.”

Recovering after breaking her hip on New Year’s Day, Jan said that while Jenny didn’t think she was an obvious choice, everyone else did.

“Jenny embraces social justice and fairness and she is politically astute, which is really important for the centre as we go forward,” Jan said.

“I’m really delighted we are getting that generational change. Jenny could be my daughter on an age level. I think it’s great to

move the leadership into her age bracket.”

Like some of the best leaders, Jenny didn’t have any airs of grandeur, or powerbuilding.

It was Jenny’s work during last year’ Wagga Wagga City Council elections in pushing for more women candidates that the Wagga Women’s Health Centre took notice.

“This isn’t a role I saw myself taking, at all. I was happy being a committee member,” Jenny said.

“I absolutely stepped out of my comfort zone in taking up this position and, to be honest, joining the committee itself was stepping out of my comfort zone.

“But the women recognised skills in me that can help shape the strategic direction of the centre, and so I did it; I got out of that comfort zone, and everyone has been so incredibly supportive.

“I look up to the women on that committee so much and never imagined myself to be in the same ball-park,” Jenny said.

Armed with accounting and economics degrees, which also have been directed in teaching roles in financial literacy spanning 20 years, Jenny is an expert on the issues of financial inequalities and a cold observer of financial abuse that faces many Wagga women.

“Women over their 50’s are more likely to become homeless; it’s the growing demographic of homelessness and there is a lot of financial insecurity,” Jenny said.

“And when you add into that the impact of economic abuse, which fits in with domestic violence, it fires my passion.

We have all these systemic inequalities and it means that women on the whole are financially insecure, so we need changes.

“After caring for kids, they find themselves financially vulnerable. I will be taping into this at a local level while also working with women to build their skills to fortify themselves against this big problem.

“Take superannuation for example; seemingly the most equal policy you could possibly have, except it’s designed for somebody who starts in the workforce in their 20’s, works consistently throughout their life, reaches their peak earnings in their 40’s and 50’s and then retires.

New president at the Wagga Women’s Health Centre, Jenny Rolfe.

“That might be the average male work occupation but it’s not what most women do.

“So what it means is, if we talk about that, one-in-three women have no superannuation. Of those who do have superannuation, the average balance is less than half that of a male and yet women live longer.

Such a mountain of a problem is being shifted, one grain at a time.

The aim for Jenny this year is to continue the inroads taken by the Women’s Health Centre to roll out the DV2650 Project, a multi-disciplinary and agency strategy to reduce, and ideally wipe-out, domestic violence in Wagga’s 2650 post code.

Community funding is also making a difference.

Huge task for anniversary

Four-wheel-drive enthusiasts receiving instruction at Alfred Town.

“The finding of the research in the DV2650 project, which came from Rotary, The White Ribbon Ball and Wagga It Takes Two,” Jenny said.

“Having had Rosie Batty here last year was a positive way to focus the issue into the community’s mind as we need everyone on board.”

Added to this, extra workers have been funded to help the hundreds of women who come through the door every year seeking help in varied forms.

“You make every dollar count. None of it is wasted here.” Jenny said.

Extra funding has allowed the centre to stay open every day except Friday, as weekends see increased demand.

Welcome, Jenny Rolfe.

REUNIONS for special events, such as the Wagga Four Wheel Drive Club’s 40th anniversary, often require extensive organisation to ensure everything runs smoothly and detective work to locate past members.

As one of Australia’s longest running off-road touring and adventure clubs, the Wagga club is finding that locating past members for the ruby anniversary is proving to be a massive task with more than 400 hundred families registered on its database.

One of the anniversary organisers, John Kent, says it could mean attempting to contact around 800 people.

“We expect up to 150 people to actually attend the celebrations, but we need to contact as many former members as possible to give them the opportunity to decide whether they’ll attend,” John said, adding that, eventhough there was some time before the event, planning and organisation needs to happen well in advance.

“Although the club was founded in January 1978, the celebrations are being held in April when it’s cooler,” he said.

The anniversary celebration on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 April will take place at Camp Kurrajong on Oura Road and will include a dinner, recovery breakfast, and what organisers call “organised fun activities” on Saturday. A book detailing the history of the club will be available during the celebrations.

“There will be opportunities also for those attending the event to visit the club’s driver training centre at Alfred Town and test their skills,” John said.

“Additionally, participants in the celebrations will be encouraged to organise tours to surrounding areas,” he said.

John also expressed the club’s gratitude for the support for the event from the Wagga Wagga City Council through a $1500 Community Grant.

As well as the anniversary event, the club provides regular driver training and education, and encourages family activities with social events and regular trips to places of interest in the bush. It also has comprehensive club rules and a code of conduct to support of its policy on caring for the environment and positive approach to conservation.

Further information about the 40th anniversary event can be found by ringing John on 0419 691 218, or on the club’s website at https://www.wagga4wdclub.org/40th-anniversary-1978---2018.html.

LIVING WELL

Treat yourself to Natural Health and Healing Jo Wilson

ONCE again, I had the pleasure of visiting another business which has your best interests at heart.

This time it was to see Janine King at the Natural Health and Healing Centre in Karoom Drive, Glenfield.

An absolute smorgasbord of choice awaits you.

In the massage realm you can choose from remedial, relaxation, sports, lymphatic drainage and specialist pregnancy massage.

There’s also a salt room which

can assist with sinus problems psoriasis and eczema. I must admit I find the salt room relaxing and with the quietness and fairy lights it reminds me of a fairyland – think of the Faraway Tree. The relaxation massage rooms all have a spa bath too and one room is kept for couple’s massages.

Manicures, pedicures and facials also are available.

The detox regime includes an infrared sauna, foot detox and a magnesium jacuzzi.

At the helm is Janine who is a qualified naturopath and

iridologist. Many diseases of the body can be picked up through

the iris and it is a fascinating diagnostic method which results therapeutic treatment.

Janine makes her own herbal medicines and can prescribe remedies for your ailments in accordance with each individual’s requirements. A naturopath studies for at least four years with definitive learning on all systems of the human body.

Naturopaths are similar to detectives as they are taught to locate the cause of an ailment, not to just provide something to ease the condition. Your initial

consultation will last one and a half hours as a full, holistic history of your life is taken to determine possible causes perhaps due to lifestyle, stress and pollutants and ascertaining where you are on the wellness paradigm.

The Natural Health and Healing Centre also has an outdoor area where you can sit under the gazebo having lunch and champagne on a girl’s pampering day or hens party.

This area is being more fully developed into a healing garden – a much needed space in Wagga.

Just a Moment Sara Stockman, Positively growing WE are ploughing through January just like the past 12 months!

What is happening to our flower smelling time?

It is January, and even when it feels that the rush is on, we need to plan for ourselves and our little people to have some quiet and some moments of stillness.

Be realistic, and choose a time of day which you know to be generally more focussed. Some of us are morning, some evening. The following points are great to go through with children and prepare them to use them when they wake.

1. As you wake in the morning, keep your eyes closed for an extra moment as you notice the sounds around you. Count different sounds and sending ‘good morning’ thoughts.

2. Take a breath in that travels from your toes, all the way up through your body and takes your body with it. Scrunching and relaxing each body part until you reach your eyes.

3. Blink your eyes three times and open them wide, have a large smile, then open your mouth wide for a morning yawn.

4. Look in the mirror and repeat your calendar affirmation, or one of your own. “Today I will be bright like the sun. Today I will pause. Today I will be busy as a bee” Planning for a positive year, you may like to use the following each day and check in with your child morning and evening using these Relax Kids Happiness Questions: Morning - What will make your day amazing? What three things are you grateful for?

Evening - What’s the best thing that happened today? On a scale of one to ten, how happy did you feel today?

Mountain Spirits of Peru Sam Brunskill

Sam Brunskill meditating in Peru.

CLIMBING through the mountains of Peru, visiting Inca ruins and sacred temples, allowed for a deep communion with the land of Peru and the ways of the Q’ero Shaman.

The Mountain Spirits (Apu’s) of Peru whisper powerful wisdom to serve each of us as we make our way into a New Year, which revolves around where we draw meaning in our lives.

I visited the Nuapa Iglesiar portal when I was shown how, all too often, we gain meaning through pursuit of achieving, the collection of material objects and climbing the status ladder. Often there is an empty space within ourselves we are trying to fill up in some way. Thinking that, without these things, we are not enough, have not yet proved who we are, or are less than until we have obtained this.

Taking the time to reflect from where we are drawing meaning in our lives allows us to align and attract what is closest and true to our heart.

For instance, if we draw meaning in life from our family, yet continually do not make time for holidays and quality time for memories to be made, then we are not aligning our choices with what we wish to attract in our life, being family time.

The New Year creates a powerful cleansing time, and leaves the past behind.

Rather than jumping into New Year’s resolutions, goals and strategising, instead harness an intention practice which will allow you to connect with your heart centre (nonqo sanwi).

Each morning, share with your partner or write in your journal, three things you are grateful for. Then, speak “Today support me to embody my authentic self by seeing, speaking and acting from what I know to be true in my heart centre.”

As difficult moments and choices come up in the year ahead, use this practice as a way to carve a life consciously true and meaningful to your heart.

The heart always knows what is invisible to the eye.

RURAL & BUSINESS

Banking the Farm: A Financial Confession

Are you on a financial chain?

Ian Robinson, Robinson Sewell Partners AN honest and frank discussion is sometimes the tonic for jolting thought into action. We invite vocality when there is a lost opportunity that sits behind a veil of silence. There may be a fine line between constructive discussion and criticism, but if it is to the betterment of our farmers and business owners, then let’s rejoice in the rhetoric.

There is around $67million lent to farmers around Australia from the traditional banks. Every day our farmers are banking on the banks banking the farm. The banks conduct compliant annual reviews to test the viability of each of their agribusiness clients. If they pass the credit performance check, its business as usual, if they fail it’s a work out solution or loan recall.

But how does a borrower test the banks to see if their appetite for lending is changing and where they sit in the spectrum of bankability?

The answer is that most agribusiness borrowers generally don’t test the banks, or test where they sit as a business within the banking spectrum. Their funding

then becomes a blind spot for a financial grenade to explode without apparent warning. In these instances, the borrower has not created a mechanism within their business model to provide visibility as to the bank’s willingness to lend to their business, and under what guidelines.

For farmers who borrow, it is almost a laissez faire playground where both parties are agreeing to terms in which one party has full visibility and the other doesn’t.

Under these trading terms it is no surprise we continually get asked by farmers; 1) Which is the best bank to bank with?

2) Which banks are lending to agriculture?

3) What is their appetite to lending?

4) Is it getting tougher out there?

5) Why are the banks taking so long to make decisions?

6) Is there something wrong with our business?

And so it goes.

The realities of banking in terms of the bank’s internal mechanisms are not communicated to the borrowers. This is not designed for public knowledge. It’s in the banks best interest to keep a positive

Hollows as homes

perception in the open market of their capability to lend while behind the scenes they reconfigure their balance sheet, lending to meet their own internal requirements and targets. This perception is called marketing, and they are very good at it.

What does this mean for the borrower?

The borrower must be accountable to undertake their own due diligence to ascertain their nett worth in the value chain of banking. At face value, this would be deemed an improbable task because both time and skill are required to obtain a measurable reward for their investment in this process. On the flip side the reward is well worth the effort.

How does a borrower achieve it and where does this reward lie?

Reward is Twofold.

Let’s talk reward first; it’s definitely more exciting than process.

First, it removes the ‘blind spot’ of funding risk. First and foremost is having an intimate knowledge of the bankability of the business, and knowing what the borrowing thresholds are to make viable strategic decisions. Pricing is immaterial if funding risk (albeit tail end) can destroy the liquidity, wealth and viability of a business.

Second, reward can create economic advantage to the business. With a lower cost of capital, and with access to flexible capital, both gross margin and opportunity capture is a most desirable outcome.

Now wouldn’t it be a shame not to have that reward in your business?

Timing… timing… timing…

Seek advice if required, but timing is an essential characteristic. Layered with timing is the art of presentation. Critical to satisfying credit policy is knowing how to present an enterprise with the many unforeseen risk variables which are inherent within agribusiness. Accidental or deliberate misrepresentation of any business to the financiers is the peril of the business.

But, by applying some true and tested principles of good corporate governance, the reward is profound for those who apply and adhere to the rules of engagement.

Banking is not static. Banking is not set and forget. The banks are continually evolving their exposure and appetite, and businesses, by their very nature, are forever evolving.

“Never the twain shall meet” ~ Rudyard Kipling, Barrack-room ballads 1892

DID you know it takes around 300 years for nature to provide a home for an owl.

It takes even longer to create habitat for possums.

Their creation is a slow process because there aren’t animals in Australia which create tree hollows, but in NSW species which rely on tree hollows for shelter and nesting include at least 46 mammals, 81 birds, 31 reptiles and 16 frogs.

Forty of these species are listed as threatened with extinction and the loss of hollows as a key threatening process.

In urban and agricultural areas throughout Australia, hollow-bearing trees are in decline.

Local Landcare Coordinator, Jason Richardson has been visiting primary schools to promote the role of tree hollows as habitat.

Students learned how contested hollows can be, particularly in urban settings where trees with hollows can be considered a public risk.

Jason spoke of his experience observing

ringneck parrots intimidating grass parrots to prevent them returning to their nest within a hollow in a suburban grey box tree.

The children were fascinated to handle the skull of a grass parrot chick which subsequently had been pushed from the hollow by a new tenant.

The students then had an opportunity to assess their school grounds and the surrounding area for hollows and observe local bird life using binoculars.

“One of the highlights was learning how much the primary school students knew about local birds,” Jason said.

“Many of them had stories about the wildlife nesting near their homes and encounters they’d had with them.”

With hollows requiring many years to generate, it is vital the next generation understand the use of trees by many Australian fauna.

If you want nature to make a home for an owl, your great-great-great-great-greatgreat-grandkids might be the lucky ones to see the result.

Will Mitchell returns to coach Wagga Ag College Rugby RUGBY UNION pennie scott THE decision for Will Mitchell to again take the head-coaching role at Wagga Ag College rugby for 2018 was not made lightly.

“I have a fond spot for these young players and the gains made last year can be consolidated this year in the competition,” he said.

“Last year some of the players in second and third grade played in firsts which gave them some experience at this level.”

Coaching a university team has some challenges as the player population keeps shifting due to courses being completed, practical work placements falling in winter holidays, and part-time employment to earn income sometimes has to come before playing rugby.

“Two of our main playmakers, Jeremy Lin and Tom McLeay have both finished their studies and their skills and commitment will be missed,” Will explained. “That’s why, last year, I called half-backs up from the lower grades so they could experience the intensity of the first-grade comp.”

“Playing against older men who often weigh many kilograms more than our young blokes takes getting used to.”

The Aggies are fielding first, second, third and women’s’ teams again this year and the coach is wondering what talent he may find within the cohort of new students coming to CSU. “We won’t know who is interested until O-Week when our training starts and players rock up.”

“With other clubs starting pre-season training this week, we are at a disadvantage compared to the teams which start the season with much fitter players than we usually get,” Will said.

“Obviously, fitter players tend to have fewer injuries so I hope anyone coming to CSU this year, and expecting to play in the First XV are already doing their own training programs.”

The development officer for the Southern Inland Rugby Union, Zac Elliott, is the assistant coach for Aggies and Will anticipates a beneficial connection to the Brumbies resources in Canberra.

“Having access to this great club really enables our players to literally shift into another level as they learn and then lift their games,” he said.

Will anticipates the first few rounds of the competition beginning in March ‘will be interesting’ as most of the other clubs have been actively recruiting new players.

“Preparation is so important for every player and every club and, although Aggies can’t start training as soon as the other clubs, it’s pretty impressive the Firsts have made the semi-finals for the past two years.”

“One thing the other clubs have to remember is not to take this young team for granted,” he concluded.

Wagga Pro-Am golf tournament has the X-factor GOLF pennie scott THE passion for golf in this town is ready to hit fever-pitch with the eighth Wagga Pro-Am Golf Tournament only a few weeks away.

Relatively speaking, the prize-money offered to attract world-class players is modest. However, there are many other factors contributing to this competition,

which has seen the Wagga Pro-Am win the coveted country NSW / ACT Pro-Am of the year for four of the last five years.

Ashley Briggs is the co-chairman of the Pro-Am committee with eight years’ experience in organising the event.

“In 2011, Ron and Geoff Crouch asked me, what do we have to do to make this the best Pro-Am in the state?” Ashley explained. “Since then, their commitment to being involved with this event has increased as a major sponsor, and this year,

we have 11 major sponsors (entitled to 10 players in the competition) and 30 minor sponsors who can have two players per company.”

“There also are 30 places for members of the Country Club, which are hotly contested.”

“The course at the Wagga Country Club has been described by international players as always being in tournament condition,” Ashley said proudly. “That is due to the care and attention of the club’s greenkeeper, Brenton Morey.”

In total, 70 professional and 140 amateur golfers play with usually three amateurs playing with one professional.

Craig Parry first played in Wagga in 2012 and is returning for this year’s weekend competition after spending the past two years on the United States circuit.

“I love visiting country NSW and Wagga’s Country Club course is the best of all the country courses,” Craig said.

“The chatter between the pros is the same – everyone loves coming to Wagga as we always are treated so well, the tournament has such a good feel to it and the organisation is great.”

Craig is based in Sydney and will arrive in Wagga the day before the tournament and play a few holes with his regular caddie, Ron Crouch.

“Until the entries close three weeks before the Pro-Am I don’t know who

the competition is, so can’t predict the winner.”

Craig principally competes in the Legends Pro-Ams of which there are at least 80 around Australia, keeping him on the move most of the year.

Kurt Burns is a Wagga amateur golfer who appreciates playing with Craig Parry.

“I learn so much playing with him.

Although he’s not the biggest striker of the ball, he knows how and where to place the ball exactly where he wants to,” Kurt explained.

“So many of the golfers want to have the longest drive which looks impressive but if it’s not straight, more strokes may be needed to actually get on to the green.”

“The Pro-Am is a great week for Wagga as there’s a big buzz in the town and it booms,” Kurt concluded.

Genuine hospitality is the X-factor the Wagga Pro-Am provides as all the professional golfers are privately billeted.

“One Wagga doctor always hosts eight players every year,” Ashley said, “and the players genuinely appreciate staying with people rather than in hotels.”

Craig agrees as the genuine hospitality the professional players receive keeps them coming back.

The 2018 Pro-Am is on the 22nd and 23rd March.

Cricket skills test available

CRICKET ANY girl or boy who loves their cricket and believes they have the potential to be a representative in regional, State, or even international cricket will be able to test just how their skill levels measure up this weekend.

As part of the Sydney Thunder and Adelaide Strikers Women’s Big Bash League match at Robertson Oval on

Saturday and Sunday the Thunder will be bringing along the Mazda Thunder Bus. It has a smorgasbord of activities and facilities to measure and help develop cricket skills in a fun environment while learning about the enjoyment and excitement of the Big Bash League and the Women’s Big Bash League.

A key feature is the back of the Mazda Thunder Bus which turns into a fully functional inflatable throwing net where

hand held speed guns can measure the pace at which individuals throw. It also contains targets to test throwing accuracy.

In addition to the activities, the Mazda Thunder Bus has TV screens where enthusiasts can watch and listen as Sydney Thunder players talk about their favourite dance moves, first cricketing memory and show off their favourite highlights.

The Sydney Thunder currently are two points clear at the top of the Women’s Big

Bash ladder but they won’t have an easy task against a fired up Adelaide Strikers.

Suzie Bates, the Strikers captain says the squad is eager to test itself against ladder leaders.

“The Thunder has a lot of depth and is a really good side, but if we stick to our game plan its been working so far.”

“If we can do the job with the bat, we already have a really good bowling side,” Suzie said.
