Please don't travel from Coolamon to United petrol at Wagga expecting to find unleaded at 126c per litre.

Last Thursday and yesterday, unleaded was about 133 cents per litre at United.

This might be cheaper than Coolamon but it's much the same as most Wagga servos.

As you don’t seem to accept my observations on the matter, then perhaps you should have read the article in the DA reporting the United price hike.

ON SATURDAY, our son Cameron Roberts was brought into the emergency section of the Wagga Base Hospital as a result of a horrific bike crash during the Wagga Cycle Classic.  

The treatment he received from the doctors and nurses was absolutely tremendous.

I can’t name all involved unfortunately, but the nurses Courtney and Paul and Dr Richard Harrison deserve a special mention.

As well as them, we’d like to thank all the staff in Ward 8, particularly Stephanie, who looked after him on the Sunday morning.

In this current time, all we hear in the media are horror stories about the public health system and hospitals.

Well let us tell you Wagga, you are lucky to have such professional and dedicated staff.  

Once again a very big, public and heartfelt thank you to all involved.

I AM the volunteer archivist at Saint Patrick’s College, Campbelltown. 

Our school has celebrated an historic anniversary this year – 175 years of establishment.

I am endeavouring to expand on our current archival collection and I am asking for your help.

In 1900, two sisters - Miss Lillian Mary Gertrude Terry and Miss Irene Constance Terry - attended as boarders at Saint Patrick’s Convent School in Campbelltown. 

They met with a tragic end as both girls, despite the valiant efforts of Sister Cecily, drowned in the George’s River while on an outing with the school. Their bodies were returned to their home town of Hay for burial. I am searching for the descendants of these girls.

I can be reached by email – sjscav@hotmail.com – or you may wish to contact our school principal Sue Lennox on 4629 2999 for further details. 

MCDONALD’S have co-sponsored newspaper ads recommending redefinition of marriage to include homosexual couples.

This reminds one, for some reason, of the little-discussed disorder of coprophagia. It’s a condition affecting some children - they eat their own faeces.

Apparently, coprophagia also occurs in small numbers of adults with schizophrenia, depression, autism etc.

Various treatments have been tried seeking to reverse the condition.

What is not done is to tell them they’re doing the right thing - and to organise poo-eating Mardi Gras-type parades. Some things are not just “diversity”, they are unhealthy and abnormal. McDonald’s and fellow advertisers are possibly on the wrong track.
