The Riverina Press Goes to War
Presented by Dr. Nancy Blacklow,  Lecturer in Humanities and Social Sciences, Charles Sturt University
Saturday 13 September 10:30am-11:30am

During World War I, newspapers were the main source of news for communities throughout the Riverina. Even very small towns boasted their own newspaper.

These newspapers looked after their communities by not only providing war news, but printing letters sent home by local soldiers. These letters tell stories of a sense of adventure, relief at surviving a battle, pride in achievements, and a growing sadness as the war continued.

This public lecture explores some of the letters printed by Riverina newspapers and how they provide a social history of local World War I contribution.

Police appeal for Wagga Schools to contribute to upcoming commemorative exhibition

Wagga Wagga Police invite local schools and any other ‘budding’ artists to submit their art works for an upcoming exhibition to help raise funds for local Project Bowen, which commemorates the death of a police officer who was killed on duty in the 1800s.

Project Bowen began in 2013, and was established to memorialise the death of Senior Constable Edward Bowen, who was tragically shot by bushrangers in 1879 in the township of Wantabadgery. While his killer, Captain Moonlight (also known as George Scott), is well known in history pages, Senior Constable Bowen’s sacrifice has largely been forgotten over time.

Wagga Wagga Local Area Command has a limited number of canvasses they can provide for free to schools with a passion for history, art and doing the right thing – not the wrong thing with excuses which is theme of the exhibition. Interested schools can book in for a 45 minute presentation on the Hero of Wantabadgery’s exploits by police to get their imaginations flowing by Contacting Inspector Stephen RADFORD at Wagga Wagga Police Station on 69222599.

Participating schools art works will be displayed at the Wagga Art Gallery between Friday 3 October 2014 to Sunday 12 October 2014 and awards will be presented in various categories. Entries need to be submitted to Wagga Wagga Police Station by 19 September 2014.

Inspector Stephen Radford, said “The school talks conducted have been received well and have included a ‘Hero of Wantabadgery’ historical comic strip and examples of other exciting art works completed to date. We have a number of canvasses left and are encouraging interested schools and talented individuals to contact police if they want to participate in a worthwhile project”.

People wishing to contribute to the fund raising project in a non artistic way can “Buy a Brick for Bowen – and become a foundation of history”. Pavers that will support the monument can be purchased from Wagga Police. Individuals can have their names engraved on these showing their support for Project BOWEN for as little as $40.

Enquiries can be made to waggabowen@police.nsw.gov.au or donations made to Police Credit Union BSB 815000 Account 277506 (Charitable fund Raising Authority: CFN/23148).

Child Attack Near Wagga

Police are appealing for information after two girls were approached by a man near Wagga Wagga this morning.

About 10.30am (Sunday 24 August 2014), two girls, aged eight and 11, were at a playground on the intersection of Protea Place and Mangrove Crescent, Forest Hill.

Police have been told a dark-coloured, dual-cab utility containing four men and a child stopped near the park.

One of the men reportedly got out of the car and approached the girls, attempting to grab the younger one. Police believe she may have been on the roadway.

When the girls ran away, the man got back into the vehicle before it drove away.

The girls reported the incident to their parents, who in turn contacted police.

Detectives from Wagga Wagga Local Area Command would now like to speak with a man who may be able to assist with inquiries.

The man has been described as being aged in his late teens or early 20s, with brown hair. He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt.
Police are urging anyone with information about this incident to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page: https://www1.police.nsw.gov.au/. Information you provide will be treated in the strictest of confidence. We remind people they should not report crime information via our Facebook and Twitter pages.

KC COWGIRL MAY HAVE DROPPED CATCHIEST SUMMERTIME SINGLE THIS YEAR

Small town country girl Casi Joy is on fire (much like her hair) with her brand new summertime single “Old Town Lane.” The song features Casi’s imagery filled writing style, along with her smooth, yet powerful vocals. The single, from the singer/songwriter’s upcoming album, is receiving great reviews in the short two weeks it has been available in all online stores.
 
“Casi’s voice just blew me away.” – Michael Wagener, (Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, Motley Crue)Wireworld Studios
 
“When I first laid eyes on her and heard this amazing crossover sound, I was blown away. From her crowd pleasing stage performances to her powerful, yet beautiful vocals, this is no small town girl. She is on her way to the likenesses of Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift.”
– Duane Woods, Strictly Music Booking and Management Group Inc.
Casi (pronounced Cassie) has been the best kept secret of the midwest for quite some time now. Beginning her music career at age 10, she has produced an album with award winning producer Michael Wagener, performed in front of 500,000 people at the Kansas City Plaza Lighting, just recently played with Rascal Flatts and Brad Paisley, and more. Casi is known for her bright red hair, bright personality, and explosive stage show playing a different instrument almost every song. Her heartfelt lyrics and distinctive, rich tone pull every listener in to her relatable, self written songs. Casi’s new single “Old Town Lane” was written by Casi about a sanctuary of hers at a lake in northern Minnesota. Country music lovers are sent to a feel good place, taking their minds off the world for three minutes and thirty seconds (or more, once you put it on repeat). The summertime single will get your foot tapping, and you’ll be singing the hook for days. It is available now on iTunes and for radio play worldwide. For more information on Casi Joy (videos, downloads, tour schedule, etc.), visit her website at www.casijoy.com.
