Flying high to Aspen X-Games

OR motorcyclists, the most terrifying experience is being airborne upsidedown or sliding sideways in loose gravel. But, for two Riverina residents these experiences are just part of riding a motorbike. Jackson Strong, from near Lockhart, travels the world as an extreme Motocross rider, while Bob Sunderland from Wagga spent 47 years competing in speedway and short circuit dirt track events around Australia. Although the respective sports are widely differing disciplines, the pair has one fundamental in common – they both developed their skills on the family farm. At the tender age of eight, Bob began his riding on an 800cc Indian at the family
property, Temora Station. “We had to push start it and jump on the pedal clutch straight away to prevent it from taking off,” Bob said. “With a 1000acre property we had a lot of fun and it got even better when a full-size dirt track was built. “My father, Lindsay, raced bikes so the family used to travel to all the meets he competed at. I was 22 when I had my first competitive race in 1959 in Wagga and my last ride 47 years later also was in Wagga,” Bob said. During his long career Bob accumulated 21 speedway and short circuit Australia championship titles which included seven first, seven second and seven third championship placings. “At my last event in 2014, the world’s
best from the United States, Europe and the United Kingdom, including world champion Kelvin Tatum from England, came to Wagga at my invitation,” Bob said. Although a privateer throughout his career, Bob used his motorcycle repair shop, B & S Motors in Edwards Street, to sponsor aspiring speedway riders from Wagga, including international speedway and grass track champion, Michael Stormonth, and short circuit champion, Lloyd Richards. Although accidents are the last thing riders think about when approaching the start-line, they are omnipresent. While racing at Bathurst in the late 1980’s Bob ‘died twice’ as the result of an horrendous accident caused by another rider hitting him from behind at full speed. “I remember being catapulted over the
handlebars breaking my ribs and piercing a lung but eventually the bike and I came to a stop. I stood up and talked for a while before being taken to hospital.” “Due to a lack of oxygen, my body started shutting down but I was revived, twice.” Bob and friend, Eugene Heffernan, attended the last Bathurst motor cycle races in 2001 where another spectator recognised Bob from that terrible accident. “I was standing next to the fence when that happened and I thought I was watching someone about to die,” the spectator recalled. Bob continued competitive racing until 2014 and still has his precious bikes, the later racing models sporting the number 53 which was the age he began racing the Classics in 1991. continued on page 2...

...continued from page 1 He maintains a keen interest in all sports with two wheels. The moment Jackson Strong walked into Bob’s workshop, you could immediately see the shared passion and knowledge between the two. “Do you do your own tooling, Bob?” Jackson asked and so their conversation started as they pored over a metal lathe. “The engine oil was stored in the frame,” Bob explained as Jackson inspected one of Bob’s former racing- bikes. Building bikes from individual and purpose-built components is indicative of the skills these two riders have. At present, Jackson is building a 250cc bike with a ski in place of the front wheel and a metal track with individual paddles for the Aspen X-Games in Aspen, Colorado, at the end of January. This construction is done in his specialised workshop at the family property near Lockhart. Jackson leaves on 12 January for California where he’ll spend six days practicing a range of tricks for the competition against seven others. “Until I get to Aspen, I can practice on my dirt bike and use the foam beds to practice my landings” Jackson explained. “Although snow and dirt are very different the approaches are similar and the weight of the (dirt) bike is similar to the one I’m building now.”
The Aspen X-Games award is presented to the best trick and, where forward somersaults are no longer regarded as spectacular, Jackson is yet to decide on what will be his piece de resistance. “I’ll have three days in Aspen to practice on the snow, with the other guys, and that’s usually enough time to get the act going smoothly,” Jackson said. “I competed there in 2016 and last year gave an exhibition performance so I’m familiar with the set-up.” Jackson is highly regarded in the global X-Games sphere and presently is a Summer X-Games holder of three gold and one silver medals. The timetable for Jackson is hectic as, on 3 February, he arrives back in Sydney and will be the central attraction for a promotional event for the Sydney X-Games in October, at Homebush. Designed to capture and captivate television audiences, Jackson will jump from bargeto-barge floating under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. “No. I haven’t done this before so it will be interesting,” he said calmly. “I love having new challenges to calculate then execute.” Jackson can be followed on his Instagram account @jackostrong and on his Facebook page Jackson “Jacko” Strong.

Flying high to Aspen X-Games
Sponsorship for sportspeople is seen as a distinct advantage which can create many opportunities and provide otherwise outof-reach benefits. But there are times where sponsorship can be a real burden – literally. For most people carry-on luggage means a small hand-held bag, a computer or a briefcase. However, if the sponsorship happens to be a motorcycle company and the recipient of that support is in a foreign country it could result in a whole new scenario. The situation occurred for World Speedway Champion, Kelvin Tatum, when he visited Wagga for an invitation event involving the world’s leading speedway exponents. Kelvin was preparing to fly home to England when he realised no arrangements had been made to return his bike to the home-country. His bike was not a problem – but its engine definitely was. Under his sponsorship, the engine had to be returned to the manufacturers at the end of the racing season. So, Kelvin removed the motor from the bike in the backyard workshop of local speedway identity, Bob Sunderland, tucked it under his arm and boarded his flight with the somewhat unusual carry-on luggage. Subsequently when Bob ran into Kelvin and asked what he wanted to do with the motorcycle frame. Kelvin said Bob could keep it, so, Bob being Bob, he installed another motor in the frame and made it ready to once again be recognised as a speedway motorcycle with a very special feature – the name TATUM embroided across the back of the seat.

New look for Wagga Civic Theatre
Wagga Civic Theatre from Wollundry Lagoon. FOR some buildings it can take more than 100 years before they receive much needed attention and improvements, but in the case of the Wagga Civic Theatre it has taken less than 20 years for a major facelift. The theatre is about to receive an injection of $700,000 for a major refurbishment with a $60,000 grant from Create NSW and funding from Wagga Wagga City Council. The Civic Theatre Manager, Carissa Campbell, said the facility was brought back to life in 1999 when the balcony was added, the auditorium was made accessible and the technical facilities were upgraded. “Since then the theatre has developed into a major performing arts centre with more than 140 performances and in excess of 50,000 audience members each year and after 19 years of use it needs an upgrade to be a contemporary, beautiful and comfortable space which audiences look forward to coming to,” Carissa said. Works as part of the refurbishment include, new auditorium seating and carpet,
SESSION TIMES
fresh paint, carpet and furniture for the foyers, a wheelchair lift to the stage, an accessible backstage toilet and a retractable roof on the balcony as well as new balcony furniture. Carissa said the addition of a permanent lift and an accessible backstage toilet will ensure that everyone can fully participate in the performing arts and be a part of the theatre. “By adding a retractable roof to the balcony it means the space can be used in all weather conditions for events and functions overlooking the beautiful Wollundry Lagoon,” she said. The extensive works will necessitate the Civic Theatre closing until late March, although patrons can still purchase tickets for the 2018 season shows in the lower foyer, or online at www.civictheatre.com.au. Following the refurbishment, an open day will be held on Tuesday, 27 March for visitors to try out the new seats and see the refurbishment for themselves.

Volunteers say goodbye to Mary Potter
LONGEVITY isn’t usually associated with nursing homes, but in the case of a group of volunteers at the Mary Potter Nursing Home their combined 60 years of service adds up to a dedicated group. They are Shelley Kershaw (8 years), Sue Kendall (14 years), Jill Rehardt (15 years) and Joan Brain (23 years) who retired last month.
The Chief Executive Officer of The Forrest Centre, Mr Evan Robertson, which is the organisation responsible for the Mary Potter Nursing Home, said the volunteers have spent many hours over the years brightening the days of residents and staff. “They have treated everyone with respect and kindness and are an inspiration
to us all. We will always be grateful for their contribution to The Forrest Centre,” Evan said. “Our volunteers are involved in all kinds of activities such as arts and craft, bingo, board games, indoor bowls, reading, delivering morning tea, assisting at church services or simply having a chat with residents.
“They share their time and talents without any financial compensation and are worth their weight in gold,” he said, adding an invitation to anyone who would considering volunteering and sharing smiles and laughter with residents at the Mary Potter Nursing Home and other Forrest Centre facilities.
Sue Kendall, Jill Rehardt and Shelley Kershaw thanked by Evan Robertson.
Casting Call: ABC set to start production on ESCAPE FROM THE CITY
THERE is nothing worse than moving house – well maybe managing teenage boys – but loading up all your belongings after years of accumulation and taking on a whole new lifestyle is not everyone’s cup of tea. Many residents in the Riverina know the pitfalls of a tree change, while former residents know the problems associated with a sea change. This year ABCTV will look at the machinations of moving to a new home
in an Australian production, Escape from the City, which should give many in the Riverina a feeling of deja vu. Each week 90 minute episode of Escape from the City will explore Australian’s obsession with property by following people who make the life changing move which sees them pack up, say goodbye to the city and all its trappings and move to coastal and regional towns, the bush or the country-side. From terraced houses in country towns
in need of renovation and bushland retreats to beach-side shacks and the edges of tropical rainforests, property-mad TV hosts will take a couple on the house hunt of their dreams. Taking into account the couple’s needs, desires and budget, the hosts will scour the country and present each couple with four homes. Along the way the couple will sample local delights and visit local attractions to get a feel for the area they are planning on moving to.
A joint venture by the ABC and FremantleMedia Australia, Escape from the City will source up to date property information for people with all sized homes and budgets and take viewers on a viewing extravaganza as they imagine themselves house hunting along with each couple. If you’re planning an escape from the city, or know a friend who plans to view the city home in their rear-view mirror, the program’s partners are seeking potential applicants.

EDITORIAL & LETTERS To The Editor, The Wagga Weekly. 22 December 2017 Rosemary Gaussen’s letter (p 5, December 15, 2017) is in urgent need of reply, not only to expose inaccuracies and unsupported statements but, especially, to remind readers of the wealth of rigorously developed scientific evidence, gathered over decades, that demonstrates the safety and efficacy of vaccination in all its facets. One might start with Edward Jenner and smallpox, then consider prevention of tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough, poliomyelitis, ending with meningococcus and influenza vaccines. The number of lives saved by the introduction and usage of the vaccines against these diseases is probably in the millions. Let me consider particular aspects of Ms Gaussen’s polemic: 1. Aluminium and autism: the paper describing this connection has been revealed to have had its results altered. The evidence is, thus, spurious. 2. “Vaccines are neither ‘safe’ nor ‘effective’: such a sweeping statement ignores all the accumulated evidence to the contrary for both safety and efficacy. 3. “..a democratic society”; “devastating results, including death”: democracy is rule by the people through their elected representatives. Having considered the accumulated evidence in favour of vaccination
as a public health measure and an individual preventive, governments and the people who elected them have wholeheartedly endorsed vaccination. This is democracy in action. As for ‘devastating results, including death’ I would love to have the information that supports this statement! 4. Dr Judy Wilyman’s thesis: Dr Wilyman presented a PhD thesis examining some of the social and political aspects of vaccination. It was not an examination of the science of vaccination and neither did it address the public health value or disvalue of the matter. When we look at vaccination in regard to its individual and its public health aspects we need to stick to the science. I could go on, but I think this is enough. While I agree that, in a democratic society such as ours, freedom of choice ranks along with freedom of speech in importance, that freedom has limitations attached to it. If an individual has the right to make a choice that individual has a reciprocal responsibility to ensure that, in exercising his or her choice, no one else is adversely affected. If an unvaccinated child presents at school with a disease that would have been prevented by prior vaccination, and one or more other children contract the disease, then the reciprocal responsibility has not been observed. And if one of those children were to die from the disease, what are we to think? Ian Stewart
That type of day pennie scott
IT’S that type of day when you know the squint-lines will outdo the laughter-lines around your eyes. It’s that type of day you hang all the washing inside out otherwise all the garments will end up pale, almost ghostly white versions of their former selves. It’s that type of day when the washing hung out first is already dry as the last, damp, garment is pegged to the line. It’s that type of day when your nostrils are flared, twitching like those of a horse seeking a special feed for the smell of smoke. It’s that type of day when dark equals cool and the house is subdued into torpor thanks to blinds pulled right down to window’s edge. It’s that type of day which precedes the fascinating fiery fury of capacious bushfires cavorting across countryside with only mere mortals holding puny hoses trying to slow their ravaging journeys. It’s the type of day when those who hate the heat literally shrivel and do not talk to save their breath. It’s that type of day when all the weather forecasts repeat the same information; temperatures are expected to reach the mid 40’s before the cool change. It’s that type of day when the refrigerator groans with the constant opening and closing for bottles of cool and cooling water. It’s that type of day when scantily-clad bodies lie languidly on couches, floors and beds as no movement equates with less metabolic activity to stay as cool as possible. It’s that type of day when, emerging from the gloom of the house into the dazzling, blinding light of outside, it’s possible not to see the brown snake on the verandah. It’s a day when winds reveal themselves as mischievous and untrustworthy as they bring dust, debris and more heat across the landscapes.
It’s that type of day when mirages fool eyes and minds into (wanting to) believe there is water just ahead. It’s that type of day when one has to stir every gram of resolve in the body to leave the sanctity of the cool(er) house to check the animals. It’s that type of day when a ten-degree differentiation between inside and out is welcome relief. It’s a day when all livestock are checked every couple of hours to make sure water troughs and dams are full to the brim and big old trees are thanked for their quiet, solid reliability of shade in all conditions. It’s that type of day when the air is so hot the inhalation of blow-torch scorching air causes an immediate raspy throat. It’s that type of day when you silently will all the plants in the garden to hang on just one more day until the promised rain will relive the desperate dusty dryness. It’s that type of day when battening down the hatches seems perfectly appropriate although the term was created for exactly the opposite circumstances. It’s that type of day when self-talk convinces one that an afternoon sleep is for survival, not indulgence. It’s that type of day when you believe that if you sleep then the time until relief will be shorter. It’s that type day when countless counterintuitive cups of tea are the key to slaking deep, throbbing thirsts. It’s that type of day where, with maniacal obsession, the Bureau of Meteorology website is checked with morbid regularity to locate this saviour of that cold front. It’s that type of day when exposed metal and water in hoses reaches skin-burning heat within minutes. It’s that type of day when we who live in rural Australia know well and maintain a grim, metallic tension until that southerly buster blows its gusty coolness across the countryside. People living in town don’t have to think of most of these things as air conditioners are cranked up, water sprinklers are turned on full in the middle of the day and NetFlix pours fantasy into family-rooms. The shopping centres, cinema and bowling alley are well frequented on these days as the air-con provides ‘free’
relief from the oppressive heat on paved streets. Even the swimming pool has fewer attendees on the really hot days whereas, before the advent of mass air conditioning, the pool was the only place to cool off on over-36-degree-days. In spite of the natural conditions, there is an element of grit as we on our farm, learn how to live through the heat without the use of electricity. What did our forebears do to endure, yes, endure, weeks of high temperatures in small log cabins minus running water and probably six scrapping children, irritable with each other and the feeling of their own skins in prickling, stifling heat. Often, these rudimentary dwellings were built in the open, sometimes without shade trees or natural water in sight. The galvanised tank to hold precious rain water was the only source of liquid but, even in the hottest times, every scrap of water was used for drinking, not the luxury of splashing it over dry, stretched skin. Living in these conditions required mental discipline and vision; yes, vision to imagine, and remember, that this, too, will pass. The mental discipline is to keep thoughts between the lines so sanity is strictly adhered to; the opposite of this confinement of thoughts becomes desperation as energy is used to desire, crave and scream for coolness and water…… which would eventually come but sometimes not before every modicum of control had been abandoned. These days, mental discipline isn’t required as coolness is created by the flick of a remote control to activate the air-conditioner. Water is always available from many taps in the house. Air-conditioned vehicles transport to other, air-conditioned venues so, in reality, actually breathing the dry, hot air can be avoided. Feeling hot dry wind on skin is prevented due to air-conditioning and sheltered environments. What would happen if electricity was to cease? What if overload or breakdown resulted in none of the modern conveniences being obedient to our every command? Is the measurement of our standard of living overcoming the quality of life our forebears lived through, being selfsufficient and resourceful? Yes – there are pros and cons to both scenarios and, as I write this editorial, it’s that type of day.

The future of Healthcare in the Riverina Malcolm Gregory, Strategic Futurist
IN the Riverina today, most visits to the doctor involve a patient meeting with a doctor in their surgery. Any diagnosis is generally in real time, after the patient describes their symptoms for diagnosis. By 2029 significant change is likely to occur in healthcare and wellbeing because of global social and technology trends. These trends include ‘being kept well’ by health professionals rather than waiting until you are sick, medical wearables, telemedicine, health artificial intelligence, brain/computer interfaces, biogenetics, 3D printing, surgical robots, virtual and augmented reality, and exoskeletons. Global trends are already emerging in which groups of health professionals aim to keep you well with customised healthcare. These professionals include doctors, nurses, nutritionists, exercise physiologists and surgical specialists. Furthermore, some of these groups are offering their own health insurance cover, often for lower rates than health insurance funds, because
the new relationship between doctor and patient allows personalised insurance cover and reduces the incidence of treatment. The advent of a wide range of wearable devices, including wrist bands, sensors and implanted microchips, will enable remote monitoring of vital signs such as heart activity, glucose monitoring for diabetes, allergy control, and activity levels, with patients determining who has access to their personal data. Increases in telemedicine, including telesurgery, will enable the delivery of medical services from a distance, supported by local health staff, enabling service delivery to smaller centres which may not have a permanent doctor. Brain/computer interfaces will enable wheelchair operation after spinal cord injuries and the use of neuro-prosthetic limbs controlled by the patient’s thought. Biogenetics will enable the diagnosis and elimination of hereditary diseases such as blindness and breast cancer at birth, at the choice of the parents, as well as the use of drugs personalised to each individual’s DNA to maximise benefit.
3D printing will be routine for body parts such as hearts and lungs, and surgical robots will enhance the capabilities of surgeons, enabling less invasive, more accurate, best practice surgery for each operation. Virtual and augmented reality will enable better education and training of health professionals to world’s best practice while exoskeletons of metal or plastics will reduce back pain, facilitate mobility for seniors and reduce the limitations of spinal cord injuries. And more and more innovations will enable disabilities to be overcome with technology. These developments will offer the potential for more convenient and efficient provision of quality healthcare to patients anywhere in the Riverina, as well as an improvement in overall population health, and a reduction in costs as new providers enter the healthcare market. It will also enable smaller regional communities better access to medical services. And there will be new opportunities for students in the Riverina to study, work and live in the region.
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 over 1500 global trends, then apply those trends to each client’s 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 readers are invited to a free workshop on 19 January on making 2018 your best year yet, and gaining some insights into the future. The workshop will be presented jointly by Steve Barker and myself. Registration for the seminar can be made online. If you have a particular area of interest in the future, contact Your Local Wagga Weekly and I’ll schedule it for a future column. For details and registration please go to http://bit.ly/2As1fza
TAFE NSW student case study: Wafra Hamka “TAFE has been very helpful to me; it’s changed my life.” That’s the view of Wafra Hamka who has gone though so many life changing experiences during the past five years. It began in 2014 when Islamic State (IS) forces captured the northern Iraq cities of Mosul and Fallujah, forcing Wafra and her family to make the heart-wrenching decision to leave their village and flee. What followed for Wafra and her family was a two-year ordeal as refugees until, in August 2016, they were given asylum status in Australia and resettled in Wagga. Arriving in an unfamiliar culture and with little English, 21-year-old Wafra committed to learning the language and enrolled in a Certificate II in Spoken and Written English at Wagga TAFE. After 15 months Wafra has graduated and has embarked on a Certificate III in the same discipline. She also spends an extra day each week at the campus as a Bilingual Education Support Officer, acting as an interpreter for those in the same position she was in just last year. Explaining how TAFE has changed her life, Wafra said, “I didn’t understand anything at first but the teachers have been so helpful and everyone makes you feel welcome. “They don’t just teach me English, they teach me about Australian culture and about how to do things like introduce yourself to people.” After completing her Certificate III, Wafra plans to continue at TAFE and finish her formal schooling, an opportunity she was denied when she fled Iraq. TAFE NSW Regional General Manager, Kerry Penton said TAFE was a beacon of hope for many people like Wafra. “We are extremely proud of the role we play in helping both new arrivals and local residents learn the skills to transform their lives,” Mrs Penton said. For more information on courses for Semester 1, 2018, visit TAFE NSW at www.tafensw.edu.au or call 131 601.

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.

DESTINATION RIVERINA MURRAY
A rich cultural experience on offer in Albury Wodonga
DO you sometimes forget what’s available just 90 minutes down the road at our closest regional city neighbour? Over the past few years, Albury Wodonga has become something of a special destination for art, culture, food and wine enthusiasts without having to brave the crowds of the city or the expensive accommodation and parking. Whether you’re travelling solo, with a friend or with the whole family, Albury Wodonga has something to inspire you this summer. First item on the agenda has to be art, and Albury Wodonga is now home to Murray Art Museum Albury MAMA (www.mamalbury.com.au). Re-imagining what a gallery can be, MAMA is much more than a centre to view artworks, it is an all-encompassing experience with every corner being bold, vibrant and alive. MAMA hosts both international touring exhibitions and local collections which reflect the region and Albury Wodonga’s own cultural identity. The Archibald Prize is being exhibited at MAMA until 28 January 2018. If you’re keen to explore your art outdoors, take the time to visit the Yindyamarra Sculpture Walk. Created by local Indigenous artists, the walk consists of sculptures scattered along five kilometres of the Wagirra trail between Kremur Street and the Wonga Wetlands. The sculptures are accompanied by interpretative panels and videos via smartphone, which tell the story of Aboriginal history and the cultural significance of the Murray River. For art buffs and collectors, make sure you visit Sam and Aaron, local Indigenous gallerists and artists at Wickman Gallery on Dean Street.
Albury Wodonga also has many diverse entertainment venues, notably The Cube Wodonga, Hothouse Theatre and the Albury Entertainment Centre. At The Cube on 13 February, Kate Cebrano will perform her new show ‘Love Songs’ with her musical partner, ARIA and Helpmann Award-winner Paul Grabowsky. As well as art and culture in abundance, you’ll never be short of places to eat and drink in Albury Wodonga. The city’s cafe culture can rival Melbourne’s with no shortage of hipsters and baristas. Then there are restaurants and bars to satisfy any culinary craving. Check out the small European style Bistro Selle or the delightful La Maison Restaurant. And for wine buffs who appreciate great food, the Border Wine Room is not to be missed. For daytime dining The River Deck is the most scenic of restaurants overlooking the Murray River and offering seasonal, fresh food in a French style. And for something to go with the cuisine there’s the local wines. Flyfaire Wines is located in Woomargama National Park and has a cellar door for their low chemical and low carbon wines and their own cafe serves locally sourced produce. And for something completely different why not try strawberry wine and liquor at Schmidt’s Strawberry Winery. It’s the only one of its kind in Australia, and, as well as the wine, you can pick up fresh strawberries when they’re in season. Accommodation in Albury Wodonga is abundant with something for every budget and preference. From B&Bs to caravan parks, motels and luxurious hotels, it’s got you covered. If you’re thinking about how you can get a little culture this summer, think about a mini break to Albury Wodonga.

Three Big Agri Predictions for 2018
L-R: Ian Robinson, Brad Sewell, Deb Purvis, David Robertson, Michael Stout, Andrew Toole, Alex Robinson) Ian Robinson: Robinson Sewell Partners THERE is no benefit in rehashing 2017. It was all too raw and real for all of us, in ways that only has meaning for you personally. But what about 2018? What market intelligence lurks beneath our professional veil that may rain good fortune on us all? With some sanction to entertain, there are three absolutions we would like to share. Firstly, that this year is going to be better than 2017. How? Because the liberty
of self-improvement is an innate human quality that continually gives. Information is widely available, networking is limitless, and execution of positive action is only bound by fear and spurred by the universal motivation to succeed. Education eliminates fear and the thirst for knowledge is evidential. Secondly, that agriculture as an investment class will continue to surprise the agricultural commentators as new participants backed by smart capital emerge in the market. This means more competition for limited resources;
and their applied business techniques are going to push the realms of traditionalism. Agriculture is no longer a game of harvesting, fattening and shearing. It is a proclivity of enterprise integration, expansion, succession and consumer driven value chain economics. Thirdly, strong farming and business alliances will continue to foreshadow the moat and castle approach to farming. The days of DIY farming in managerial isolation are being superseded by the collaboration of industry and professional intelligence. The extension of management
by strategic engagement of advisory professionals provides a farming business the hybrid vigour it needs to navigate the increasingly scientific world we now operate in. So, with the New Year upon us, let us stand back and celebrate the good times and the hard learnings of 2017. From all of us at Robinson Sewell Partners, have a very well-deserved break with family and friends and we look forward to marching into 2018 with great ambition. To good health and safe travels.
Cattle, sheep, goat and dairy farmers asks for input ANECDOTAL evidence is frequently disregarded by researchers, but more often than not the people on the ground and in the paddock have a wealth of knowledge they can make available for researchers. And one research group, the Graham Centre for Agricultural Innovation, is taking advantage of just that wealth of knowledge. Postdoctoral researcher, Dr Jennifer Manyweathers, says the centre is seeking information from producers involved in the cattle, sheep, goat and dairy industries via an online survey. “Livestock producers play a vital role in surveillance for animal diseases and the survey aims to find out about their management practices and attitudes towards biosecurity,” Dr Manyweathers said. “We also want to find out how they can be supported to improve animal health management and on-farm profitability. “Our aim is to build producer-led and partnership-based animal monitoring systems so that Australian livestock industries are more resilient and prepared for an outbreak of emergency animal disease,” she said The research is part of the FMD Ready project, which aims to improve surveillance, preparedness and return to trade from emergency
animal disease incursions using foot-and-mouth disease as a model. The confidential survey will take about half an hour to complete and can be accessed at: • Sheep survey https://www.surveymonkey. com/r/sheep09 • Cattle survey https://www.surveymonkey. com/r/Cattle10 • Goat survey https://www.surveymonkey. com/r/Goat08 • Dairy survey https://www.surveymonkey. com/r/dairy11 The project is supported by Meat and Livestock Australia, through funding from the Australian Government Department of Agriculture and Water Resources as part of its Rural R&D for Profit program, and by producer levies from Australian FMD-susceptible livestock (cattle, sheep, goats and pigs) industries, and Charles Sturt University, through significant in-kind support from the research partners. The research partners for this project are the Commonwealth Science and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), CSU through the Graham Centre for Agricultural Innovation, the Bureau of Meteorology and the Australian Department of Agriculture and Water Resources, supported by Animal Health Australia.

For the love of herbs Friday, January 12, 2018 - Your Local Wagga Weekly
Jo Wilson
BY now you might have picked up that I love herbs. I have studied them for many, many years and deliver courses on how to use everyday herbs to treat common ailments. Most of us have more well known herbs such as rosemary, mint and thyme growing in pots and in gardens and we use them only sporadically in food or as a garnish. However, there are many different ways to use herbs in our everyday diet and lives. Not many people realise that herbs have incredible content of vitamins and minerals; for instance, rosemary contains vitamins A and C plus calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron and zinc. One of the ways I get an extra helping
page 13
of herbs is by making herbal salts. Rather than using table salt, which has been highly refined, I use a base of either Celtic salt or pink Himalayan salt, both rich in minerals. After gathering some rosemary, thyme or sage leaves, place them on a tray with the salt and leave for a couple of days. The salt naturally dries the herb and, once dried, blends for a few seconds and there you have herbal salts. Delicious on meats, eggs, salad or anything you like to eat. Other ways to use herbs are in and as teas, herbal butters and honeys, and one which I am experimenting with – herbal ales and meads. I will let you know how that turns out! Until next week – have a herbally good time (or should that be thyme).
Just a Moment Sara Stockman, Positively Growing OWNING the skills to self-regulate and take a break – pause for just a moment - are a combination of nature and nurture and are lifelong when taught early, and teachable throughout life. Relax Kids uses an evidence-based seven step system to journey through natural higher energy rhythm, towards and into this mindful pause. The strategies practised in sessions can be used at home and in the child’s natural environment with ease. “We use the slow hissing snake breath to calm down in the car. The slow controlled exhale redirects the children and reduces the sibling bickering!” Children who have attended Relax Kids sessions respond with great enthusiasm, sharing their love of focussed breathing, stretching and relaxing. They have tales of massaging their hands to calm their nerves and stopping and breathing to reduce their anger, They also report sleeping well after class. Relax Kids itself takes the form of Little Stars for under 5s, Magical Adventures, and Chill Skills, with something for all ages. “My dad asked what on earth I was doing! I told him I was massaging away my worries and preparing to do my best at the eisteddfod”. What is fantastic is that these techniques are not bound by age, gender or sporting prowess. Nor do you need to be pretzel flexible. The seven steps are the basis also for Just Relax for parents, grandparents and teachers, and every bit as engaging with a 4 – 6 week course available to boot! “During the massage section at the end of Preschool today, a little friend had his mouth wide open, eyes closed, and gently fell asleep where he was!” Acknowledging and validating emotions, and using fun ways to explain the brain to your child, helps reduce the confusion of bigger feelings and big reactions. It also provides the starting point for teaching regulation. Try teaching this in your calm time, to use during high time. 1. Stop – whatever you are doing, saying, or even thinking. 2. Take some calm, slow breaths. 3. On each in-breath think/whisper “I am….” And each out breath think/whisper “calm”, “peaceful”, “kind” (or just breathe). 4. Name how you feel and name for your child the emotions you felt and what you think you saw and the physical signs that made you think that. “I thought he was bored. He would lash out and say he was bored. After we learnt how to help him calm down, it turned out he didn’t know how to play. He wasn’t bored, he was lonely!”.
National Art Glass Collection WAGGA WAGGA Art Gallery’s National Art Glass Collection is the most comprehensive public collection of Australian studio glass. It reflects diversity in style, subject and technique in contemporary practice as a continuous record of the glass community’s achievements and evolution from the 1970s to the present. The significance of the Collection was acknowledged in 1992 when it was officially designated the National Art Glass Collection. The use of glass as a medium for artistic expression enjoyed a major revival in the United States in the 1960’s. At this time technical developments made it possible for individual artists to
work in private studios and freed them from the factory model of production. This gave rise to the term ‘studio glass’ and the artistic phenomenon known as the ‘studio glass movement’. This movement emerged in Australia in the early 1970s. Full-time tertiary courses in glass were established in the late 1970’s, beginning with the South Australian College of Art (1976), Caulfield Institute of TAFE (1978) and Canberra School of Art (1982). Wagga Wagga’s own Riverina College of Advanced Education, which later became a campus of Charles Sturt University, introduced glass into the ceramics curriculum in 1978. Since 1990 through to the present
day, international opportunities and recognition for Australian glass artists have become paramount. With several generations of Australian glass artists now devoted to serious professional practice, a dynamic and competitive glass sector has prospered. Wagga Wagga Art Gallery instituted a policy to collect Australian contemporary glass, and launched the first of its national survey exhibitions of glass in 1981. From small beginnings, the Collection has now grown to over 600 pieces, the largest in the country. In 1999 the National Art Glass Collection was relocated to its own architect designed gallery within the precinct of the Wagga Wagga Civic Centre.

What’s your favourite bird and why?
Bindi Vanzella, Regional Landcare Facilitator for Riverina AUSTRALIA has an abundance of magnificent native birds and we are very fortunate in the Riverina to have such a rich diversity that live here permanently or migrate from as far away as Japan and China. But how familiar are we with our local bird life? Can you name 12 birds in your area? Did you know we have one of the rarest birds in the world living on the Hay Plains? Recently we all had the opportunity to vote on our favourite bird. The public poll was conducted by The Guardian Newspaper in conjunction with BirdLife Australia. Fifty-one Australian bird species were shortlisted and nine of the top 10 can be found in the Riverina. The only bird not in the Riverina is the Southern Cassowary, which came in at number nine. Endemic to tropical rainforest in north eastern Australia, New Guinea and Indonesia, the Cassowary would be very lost if it was found in this part of Australia. The winner of the poll was the Australian Magpie - not really surprising because it would be hard pressed to find someone who doesn’t know a magpie. Sure, the beginner or tourist might confuse it with other black and white birds such as the Pee Wee (or Mudlark) but it doesn’t take long to associate maggies with its morning carolling, request to share your lunch or less friendly swooping in spring. It’s polls like this that suddenly make us stop and think about local bird life. What is your favourite bird and why? Do you like a particular bird for its familiarity, colour, song, size, secrecy or even attitude? We must acknowledge that some people are petrified of birds (known as ornithophobia), but many people are
curious and want to learn more about them. Perhaps over the holiday period take time out to identify a new bird or two. Or even better make it a New Year’s resolution. There are around 200 species in the Wagga Wagga region so there is no shortage of diversity. Oh, and in case you wondering - the Hay Plains Wanderer is one of the rarest birds in the world with an estimated 200 still living in the wild.

New Years Andean Ceremony
SPENDING New Years with Q’ero Shaman, Don Benito, in Peru was a touching experience which allowed me to explore the sacred act of reciprocity in a way that allowed for a deeper connection with Mother Nature. The Q’ero Lineage live within the highest mountains of the Andes in Peru and are the direct descendants of the ancient Incas who were invaded by the Spanish Conquistadores in the 1500’s. Although some indigenous cultures choose to keep their teachings closed from outsiders, the Q’ero has witnessed signs from an ancient prophecy with the observation of glaciers on their mountains melting and now share their teachings in schools around the world. In the Andean cosmology, all of life is perceive as one infinite ceremony. The Q’ero Shamans wish to spread their teachings of how we can better come into balance through reciprocity to Mother Earth and each other, of which the Despacho Ceremony is one.
The Despacho Ceremony, which creates a prayer bundle made up of sacred objects, went for three hours to create two prayer bundles, one representing feminine energies and another representing masculine energies. A piece of white paper was used for wrapping and prayers were made by adding coca leaves for the mountains, lakes and rivers, sweets to bring sweetness and love, then rice and other grains to nourish Pachamama. We gathered three coca leaves then blow in our blessings and intentions for Pachamama. Don Benito kept reminding me it is a joyous experience, not to be rushed. After hours of prayers Don Benito placed all the gathered items and placed them in the prayer bundles, which were then burnt within a Sacred fire. A simple way that we can all begin to bring more ‘ayni’ into our lives is through cultivating gratitude each day and being respectful of Mother Earth.

Where lies respect?
Steve Barker: I am Enough Coaching
HOW well are you communicating with your Teenager(s)? Are you communicating at all, or is it all shouting and screaming? Do you find yourself sending a text message, even though they are in their bedroom, just to let them know Dinner is ready? The key to effective two-way communication is respect, and just as effective communication is a twoway street, so too is respect. You give to receive! This week, I would like to discuss respect and what does respect mean in a teenager’s world: “To be respected is to be given significance for what teenagers stand for. To be listened too on the same level that you would listen to an adult. For them to be recognised for their achievements and actions. To be understood. Are we really giving them all of these wholeheartedly? As adults, it is our job to demonstrate consistently how to give respect. I am not saying that we bow
Rodeo wrangle
By Alan Reid
THE hat bobbed in rhythm behind the pricked ears as the horse weaved towards the back of the chutes through the landscape of tin top utes and horse floats. The hat wasn’t as big as most of the headgear at the rodeo. It sat high, pushed forward to reveal a tuft of light brown hair which straggled above the collar of the faded blue shirt. It featured a blackened circle of sweat extending from the centre of the flattened crown with another climbing erratically from around the brim and a well-worn dipto-the-ladies thumbhole in the front of the brim he could look through with one eye. The men sitting on the fence turned their heads lazily to survey the new arrival as he dismounted and tied his horse to a post. “Only riders around here,” a fence sitter said with authority. “You’ll have to tie your horse up behind the grandstand.” The new arrival threw the nearside stirrup over the saddle, flicked the leather loop from the surcingle and swung the saddle to the ground against the fence. The task completed he turned his attention to the self appointed director with the high heels of his boots hooked on a rail and colourful red and white chaps over tight fitting jeans, his flash could-be satin red shirt with its white shoulders a glaring contrast under the wide brimmed black hat that almost swallowed
the wearer’s head. He was a short, stocky man whose muscular build was more suited to the back of a bucking bull than the top rail of a fence at the back of the chutes “There’s no shade over there,” the interloper said, squinting against the brightness at the face obscured under the shade of the big black hat. “Doesn’t matter,” the black hat persisted. “You’ll have to shift. This area’s reserved for riders.” “Well, I’ll just have to register,” the intruder replied. “You can’t ride,” the black hat argued. “You’re too old. Blokes like you do your ridin’ in the grandstand.” “You’re a contrary young colt,” the horseman replied calmly. “First you tell me I can’t tie my horse up here, then you tell me I can’t ride. Now you tell me to take a soft cushion in the grandstand.” “No offence mate, but we don’t want to see you gettin’ hurt and goin’ home empty handed.” “No offence taken,” the man said, “I’ll take my chances and if I can’t ride like you reckon then you’ve got nothing to worry about. Now, where do I pay my money?” “I’ll take it over. I’m about to register myself,” the black hat said as he jumped down from the fence. “What name’ll I give ‘em?”
down and give into their every whim and desire, not at all. But if we are not consistently demonstrating how respect is given, how are teenagers going to learn how to give respect? For example, when you are communicating with your teenager (and all is good), really take the time to listen. Listen with the intent of listening and understanding, not listening to interrupt or share your experience. Truly listen. Because the next time your teenager is disrespecting you, you can remind them of how you respectfully listened to their content the other day, and that you would be grateful if they afforded you the same level of respect. Of course, initially they won’t, but if you consistently demonstrate this, and raise their awareness to how you are listening respectfully, they will start to get it. This is a long-term strategy, as with most things to do with teenagers, it will take time, persistence and determination, but the outcomes are well worth it. For further information, please email steve@iamenoughcoaching.com
“Ben,” he said, handing the young man a crumpled note for the registration. “Ben what?” “Just tell them Ben, on the blue horse. They’ll know,” he said. “Tell them I’ll be in the grandstand. They can call me over the loud speaker when the time comes.” The young man scooted through the dust towards the official tent, as the horseman put a finger to the brim of his hat and winked at the throng on the fence who nodded a reply and threw a knowing smile in unison. It was clear the young fellow in the big black hat had ridden before. It was obvious by the way he checked the gear as he stood over the horse in the chute; and by the way he grabbed a good handful of the bucking rein and tested its length; and by the way he settled himself in the saddle with his spurs positioned high on the horse’s shoulder ready for the markout. The black hat nodded and, as the chute opened, the horse plunged high into the arena. The rider’s markout was good and the horse was up for a high score, but when it dropped a shoulder and twisted, the rider lost his rhythm. He kept his seat, and he made time. He rode well, but he’d had better rides. The score wasn’t too bad when it echoed around the ground. He was still in with a show to pick up some money. There were only a few rides to go when Ben walked from the grandstand to the back of the chutes. He untied the blue horse, slung the saddle onto its back, fitted
the crupper, tightened the girth, removed his quart pot and saddlebag and fitted a bucking rein to the headstall. He walked to the race behind the chutes and led the horse through. “You can’t ride that horse,” the familiar black hat directed from the top of the chutes. “He’s not a buckjumper.” “She’ll be right,” Ben said with a grin as he led the horse into the chute, loosely fitted a wool padded rope around its flanks and climbed on top to hang the end of the padded rope from the back of the saddle. “He’s too quiet,” the black hat persisted with an air of respectful concern for the older man. “That old hack’ll just trot around the arena. He’s been standing in the same spot the whole time without movin’. Even when the bulls crashed the fence he just stepped around and didn’t do a damned thing. People will laugh at you. You’ll be made look a fool,” he added with a note of desperation Ignoring the pleadings, Ben adjusted the padded rope around the horse’s flanks, turned to the man standing over him on the chute, and handed him the end of the rope. “Do me a favour - give this a bit of a tug as he leaves the chute will you mate. Not too hard, just enough for him to feel a tickle. If I do it I’ll be disqualified for touching down before I get out the gate.” The result of Ben’s ride in the rodeo and the fate of the black hat rider will be known in next week’s Wagga Weekly.

LIVING WELL
Needle-point in China pennie scott
INITIALLY, Rosie Shuter was skeptical about the claims made about acupuncture. However, there was a lure of this ancient and traditional form of healing and medicine which drew her to commence a five-year course at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) of a double bachelor degree in health and applied science. The degree began as general (Western) science providing diversity in the fourth year to learn the intricacies of Chinese herbal medicine and the meridians of the human body. Integral to the learning the theory was the application of the knowledge and, from third year, they commenced observing older students at the RMIT’s own Chinese Medicine clinic. Once in fourth year, they had their own patients at the RMIT clinic and worked at privately owned Chinese Medicine clinics around Melbourne for months under the watchful care of established and experienced practitioners. “Even by fourth year I was still a little skeptical about the claims that acupuncture could cure a huge range of maladies but I had proof when I arrived at the clinic one morning with a swollen, weepy eye which I couldn’t see out of.” “I told the clinic owner I wouldn’t be able to see (literally) any patients but, as quick as a flash, he had me lying on the table, and proceeded to insert needles under and next to my affected eye.” “I asked how long will this take and his answer was about 30 seconds.” “And, that’s how long it took for my open to be fully operational again and I commenced my shift at the clinic,” Rosie recalled. The majority of patients at the RMIT clinic were men and women over the age of 55 with chronic pain problems. “Sore backs, legs and necks were the most common complaints and it was incredibly satisfying to provide treatments over a few weeks and see their mobility return, not to mention their sense of humour and confidence.” “At the clinics, the first appointment with a patient was for one and a half hours and return patients 45 minutes. Taking a history involved creating flow-charts of lifestyle, associations and diet; gathering the information needs to be carefully done and, while the information is being gathered, your mind is making connections
between events and lifestyle practices of the patient,” Rosie explained. “We learn about the relationships between organs and symptoms with the five major connections being: 1. Heart and joy. 2. Spleen and worry and overthinking. 3. Lungs and sadness and grief. 4. Kidneys and fear. 5. Liver and anger.” For this young student from Wagga, the highlight of her learning has been spending four months in the Nan Jing Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, one hour by bullet train west of Shanghai. “All the practice we gathered in the RMIT and private clinics was invaluable to apply in a busy hospital setting. This hospital sees 18,000 out-patients every day.” While at the Nan Jing Hospital, Rosie and two class-mates rented a 25th floor apartment only 15 minutes away and experienced life as a local. “Living and working in the centre of the city was brilliant. We bought our food where the locals did and learned the customs and practices such as having house shoes (no-one ever just walks around in bare feet) and protocols when buying food.” Within the hospital structure, both Chinese and Western medicine diagnoses are used to ensure the best outcome for presenting patients. “X-rays, CAT and MRI scans are all used and, for gastrointestinal problems, a patient will have a colonoscopy with the results available in a couple of hours so treatments can immediately commence.” ‘Tuina (tu-wai-nah) is a form of massage which is successfully used for many conditions. The Chinese believe that if it doesn’t hurt, it is not doing any good so the screaming and groaning from this department was continuous,” Rosie recalled. The 15 students from RMIT worked in the departments of gastroenterology, gynecology, paediatrics, dermatology, respiratory disorders and nephrology with herbs and acupuncture skills well honed on the hundreds of patients coming into the departments every day. “I love being a detective when meeting a patient, learning about them and determining why certain symptoms are presenting. With accupuncture and Chinese herbs it is possible to improve the wellbeing of almost all people,” Rosie concluded.
POLICE REWARDED FOR ABOVE AND BEYOND Marguerite McKinnon
COURTESY, kindness, understanding, compassion, courage and devotion to duty – attributes frequently applied to members of our police force, but how can a decision be made about which individual member exhibits any one, or all of these qualities. That’s the task facing members of Wagga’s Sunrise Rotary when they choose recipients for the Police Officer of the Year Awards in the Wagga Local Area Command, which takes in Ardlethan, Ariah Park, Coolamon, Ganmain, Junee, Lockhart, Tarcutta, Temora, The Rock and Wagga. Sunrise Rotary President, Dawn Smith, says the award is the one chance for the community to thank those officers who have gone above what’s expected to make the community feel safe and better protected. “I think it’s a two-way benefit. I do think it’s something to build police esteem. Just the fact they’ve been told they’ve done a good job, helps. We all like to be told we’ve done something good,” Mrs Smith said. “We’re not interested in somebody who does a very efficient job; we expect them to do that. I think it’s the things that are not always expected from police,” she said.
Mrs Smith said that in many cases, the extra care shown by police can have a powerful flow-on effect and cited cases in which police personally returned a lost wallet after a Good Samaritan had handed it in to police, and an Inspector helped a distraught child who was scared of riding his scooter in the dark by driving him to a friend’s house where he told the boy and his friend that if they ever get scared they should call police who will come to help them. “Just to hear stories like these, are exactly the things we are looking for. To unearth those moments when police went above and beyond, which the community needs to hear about, because it’s comforting,” Mrs Smith said. Wagga Local Area Commander, Bob Noble, says most people appreciate the positive work police do. “I think there’s strong appreciation from most people, even though those that might not like police, and there are people out there that don’t like police, but even those people appreciate it’s a difficult job,” Commander Noble said. “One in which solutions to complex problems are not always easily reached, and sometimes some quite imperfect solutions are reached by police because of the intractable nature of the issue they’re
called to deal with, but again I think it’s mainly positive,” he said. Nominations for the Local Area Command uniformed or plain clothes police, office staff and volunteers close on 1 March with the awards on 17 March. Superintendent Noble said Wagga has a proud record of police going on to being recognised at the State level pointing out that Inspector Rob Vergano took out NSW Police Officer of the Year in 2016 while last year, Senior Constable Nicole Forrest took out the State’s Customer Service Award.
“Wagga and the surrounding areas have quite a high operational tempo so officers get exposed to a more diverse range of policing more frequently,” Commander Noble said. Of equal importance, money raised from the awards and sponsorship will go towards the PCYC, which has been helping young people make good choices since 1937. Wagga Weekly readers can nominate police officers they believe are worthy of special recognition by going to Wagga Wagga Police Officer of the Year Awards or by contacting your local police station.

Sun raining energy on Wagga and Riverina
pennie scott THE sun has been the object of worship and gratitude for eons with rituals and ceremonies celebrating the basis of life on earth. Many cultures still take the time to honour the energy emanating from this star around which our solar system orbits. Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics, indirectly using concentrated solar power, or a combination. Solar energy has been harnessed and captured through the creation of receptors to transform the light into retrievable and useable energy. The leaps of imagination and creation to apply sometimes quite old battery technology to store this energy continues to grow and, Wagga is a centre of brilliance for domestic, commercial and industrial application of this free source of infinite energy. Planet Power was established almost ten years ago and was at the forefront of providing roof-top solar panels for customers with the implementation of
the then NSW government’s incentive to increase uptake of this renewable energy. Craig Burmeister, proprietor of Planet Power, remembers the day in 2009 when he signed a five-year lease on his shop and the NSW government announced the end of the 65c/kw feed-in rate. “Many people said I was doomed to continue and I ought to pull out,” Craig recalled. “I saw a much bigger picture and that solar energy was just scratching the surface of what was to come.” “When you see what Elon Musk has envisioned and created across the world, and the demand for the Tesla Powerwall ll batteries (a five-month waiting period) awareness and action give us a very exciting business, and sector, to be involved with.” Craig’s prediction of many changes to what we are currently familiar with is especially around electric cars. “Charging stations are still a novelty in rural areas but not in the cities anymore.” “In the United States, Elon Musk has
been creating charging stations from west to east across the country so owners of Tesla electric cars can easily access the charging stations. That’s what we need to do here, too.” “The biggest shift in efficiency with solar energy is in the advances in microinverters. These can provide individual panel data and improve yield from between ten to sixty per cent.” Almost half of the Planet Power business is from existing customers who are taking advantage of newer equipment and the maintenance service provided. According to Craig there is a red-hot debate about the placement of panels – north or west. “Data shows more electricity is used in summer, and in the afternoons so it makes sense to have the solar panels on the western aspect of the roof,” he said. “Most of our work is from retro-fitting
into established houses and, surprisingly, there is very little enquiry from anyone building a new house except if they out of town. Once people find out the cost of having mains power connected to their block, they realise that installing solar energy is far more cost effective from an infrastructure perspective and there are no quarterly bills!” The Riverina is a desired location for utility-scale solar farms with two under consideration in the Bomen Industrial Estate at present. Terrain Solar’s 70-hectare site next to the TransGrid substation is in the planning stage. Spokesman, Simon Ingram, explained the energy will be fed directly into the national electricity grid for sale into the merchant market. The company anticipates all approvals will proceed smoothly for construction to commence later in 2018.

Making waves in Randwick
RUGBY UNION
Andrew Stanham FOR most people, playing rugby union is just a way of spending time with mates and having a run around on a weekend, and Wagga’s Harry Tyson is no exception. “From the time I started playing at nine or 10, rugby has always been good fun”, Harry explained. Never did he think he would be rubbing shoulders with ACT Brumbies and NSW Waratahs superstars. Now, the 21-year-old is moving on from the nation’s capital to the big smoke of Sydney to test himself in the Shute Shield. Harry, an upcoming playmaker at fly-half, has just signed with the Randwick Rugby Club. Having come through the Wagga juniors and finding a passion for the game through being able to spend time with his other playing friends, Harry’s ability has been evident from the very beginning. After moving to Canberra Grammar School in 2011, Harry continued his love for rugby in his school’s First XV, and, on finishing school, started a degree in commerce at the University of Canberra. In his first year out of school Harry was picked to train and play with the Brumbies under 20’s squad. However, as with many aspiring and professional sportsperson, an injury reared its head with Harry suffering a dislocated shoulder during a trial game in early 2015. The mishap definitely didn’t deter Harry who came back bigger and better
a year later and cementing a permanent spot in the Brumbies under 20’s side. In 2017, this helped the youngster crack the first-grade side for his club, Canberra Royals and playing a pivotal role in leading the side to only its second John Dent Cup premiership in 40 years, an achievement he rates as one of his proudest moments on the rugby field. After spending two years plying his trademark play in Canberra and continuing his Bachelor of Commerce, Harry is transferring to the University of Technology in Sydney and looking to continue his degree while shouldering the workload of training with the aim to break into first grade at Randwick. But for Harry it’s not just about playing first grade and being seen on the field. He says that being a vital member of the club and helping out behind the scenes is just as important. “I’ll get involved in the club, put my hand up to help out and just try and crack first grade”, he said. Another motivation to break into first grade is the opportunity it presents to play against a close friend of his from a junior age, Hamish Dunbar, who is currently representing Sydney University in the Shute Shield. With Harry signing with Randwick, this is just another example of the Riverina producing high quality sporting stars, having them challenge themselves while taking on some of the nation’s best. We wish Harry the best of luck for the year ahead with his rugby and degree and hope to see him taking on Sydney’s finest players in the Shute Shield in the very near future.

Liam Mowbray – right on target ARCHERY Andrew Stanham
Liam Mowbray shoots 200 arrows every day.
CONVENIENCE and proximity were what paved the way for Liam Mowbray to become an Australian representative in archery. For the Charles Sturt University Veterinary student, having an archery range across the road from his parent’s property in Possums Brush on the NSW north coast meant that after school, there was only one thing to do. Liam’s talent was quickly noticed. Having been picked up at the age of 14 by the Hunter Academy of Sport, he competed in his first Junior National Championship a year later, fending off competitors three years his senior to take home the Juniors Nationals. In 2008, Liam was selected to represent Australia in South Africa at the World Junior Championships, where he won the competition and broke two world records. Since that success, Liam has represented Australia every year, picking up even more medals and trophies. After taking two years off in 2014 and 2015, he returned to elite competition the following year when Australia hosted the World Field Championships. Again, Liam picked up a silver medal, something he considers a special achievement because he entered the competition hoping only to
perform well considering his extended time off. 2017 was another year of travel and exciting times for Liam, with gold at the State And National Field Championships, which allowed him to participate in the World Indoor Championships in Romania. Heading into the competition, Liam’s objective was to perform well, but his performance was vindicatory of the hard work he put in and he left Romania with a gold medal and his head held higher than he could ever have imagined. Liam has been lucky enough for archery to take him to numerous places across Australia and the world, including New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, Germany and Romania. However, as archery is not a main stream sport it hasn’t been easy; the cost of travel and accommodation has been out of his own pocket. For Liam, fitting in a full-time university schedule, working, and training it’s a busy lifestyle for the 25 year old. However, he is able to keep up with it all and has set up a little range in his back yard where he can practice and keep on improving When training full time for an event. Liam says “every day, up to 200 arrows, each and every day”. Meaning he is always getting better and improving, and we believe it won’t be long before we see Liam at the top of the podium again.

Wagga Water Polo attracts the best
The 22-man squad from UNSW Magpies Water Polo Club at pre-season training at the Oasis Aquatic Centre. pennie scott REGARDED as one of the finest aquatic facilities in NSW, the Wagga Oasis Aquatic Centre was the perfect location in which to cool down in last Saturday’s mid-40 degree temperatures. An added bonus for pool-goers was the presence of the University of NSW Western Magpie’s Men’s Water Polo 22-man squad in town for a weekend-long pre-season training session. This is the second year the squad has come to Wagga and, as they won the National League titles last year, this practice is serving them well. On Friday, 5 January, two of the squad, Richie Campbell and Corrie Eames, conducted a coaching clinic for junior players from the Wagga and Albury Water Polo Clubs. Richie and Corrie shared their skills with 40 junior girls and boys who

appreciated the close contact with these two well credentialed players. Richie is a three-times Olympian, the captain of the UNSW Magpies and vice-captain of the Australian Sharks team. Corrie is a four-time time National League Championship and Australian Under 20 player. Both commenced their Water Polo careers in country areas and now play on the international stage and with the powerful UNSW Wests Magpies, the most recent Australian National League Men’s Champions. Alex Donovan, assistant coach and manager for the Magpies, described the facilities and hospitality in Wagga as brilliant. “The team really enjoys coming here and the pool alone is international standard”, he said. Formerly a member of the Water Polo squad at the Australian Institute of Sport prior to the Sydney Olympics, his career was stifled doe to a severe right shoulder
injury. Even though it was reconstructed, Alex was unable to reach his former prowess. “That’s why I manage the squad,” he explained. “I love the sport and being with the players keeps me one of the team, but not just playing any more.” “While we’ve been here, Maurice Eames has organised our stay so we utilise the beach for soft-sand running, enjoy generous family hospitality and, thanks to the sponsors of the Wagga Water Polo Club, the William Farrer Hotel, a great pub dinner, too.” Capitalising on the high standard of Oasis Centre facilities, Water Polo Australia (WPA) have confirmed the 2018 Australian 12 years and Under Male & Female National Championships will be contested at the Oasis Regional Aquatic Centre over the 2018 Australia Day long weekend from Friday 26 to Sunday 28 January. This is the second year in succession the
Oasis Aquatic Centre is hosting the national championships with 40 teams competing in all-boys, all-girls and mixed team events. The players number more than 400 and, with families and support groups the total number of attendees to Wagga will be more than 1,200. The tourism benefits of such an event extend to accommodation, cafes, hotels, sports stores, attractions, service stations and other local businesses in Wagga. Tourism Research Australia (TRA) calculates the yield for sports tourists is $257 per person, per day. Wagga is providing a mixed team with Albury sending one boys and one girls team for the championships. Games will start on Friday 26th from 10am and spectators can purchase a pass for the duration of the championships. More information is available from http://www.wagga.nsw.gov.au/oasisaquatic-centre.
