Cootamundra War Memorial
COOTAMUNDRA WAR MEMORIAL ALBERT PARK – HOVELL STREET COOTAMUNDRA WORLD WAR 1 HONOUR ROLL Compilation by Kevin Casey, Breakfast Point 2012 COOTAMUNDRA WAR MEMORIAL – WORLD WAR 1 A marble obelisk and other memorials have been erected in Albert Park in memory of those citizens of Cootamundra and District who served and died in the defence of Australia during times of conflict. The names of many of those who served in World Wars 1 and 2 are engraved and highlighted in gold on the obelisk. This account has been prepared to provide a background to the men associated with the Cootamundra district who served and died in World War 1. While it is acknowledged that an exhaustive list of local men who served in the war has not been compiled, this account briefly highlights the family and military backgrounds of those who did and who are recorded on the obelisk. Other men not listed on the obelisk but who were associated with the district and who also served and died in the war have been identified in the course of the research. They are also included in this account. No doubt further research will identify more men. Hopefully this account will jog a few memories and inspire further research into the topic. An invitation is extended to interested people to add to the knowledge of those who served Those who served came from a wide range of backgrounds. A number of the men had long family associations with the district and many have family members who are still residents of the district.

Forum Media Statement 20 09 07
MEDIA STATEMENT - SEPTEMBER 2007 Making progress in battle with depression Rural communities have embraced a program to increase awareness of depression and how it can be treated, according to a psychologist who works closely with farming families. “The word is slowly spreading that if someone on the land is having trouble coping with today’s pressures, then help is readily available,” said Paul Templeton, of the Riverina Counselling Service based at Wagga Wagga, NSW. “While the program is aimed at helping farming families, it is great that it also delivers practical help to other members of the community who may not be travelling well.” Mr Templeton, who also lectures in mental health at Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga, addressed the fortieth community depression-awareness forum organised by fertiliser company Incitec Pivot. The milestone forum, held at Cootamundra on 19 September, attracted 600 participants. It was organised in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Cootamundra and Thompsons Rural Supplies. Mr Templeton told the forum that, despite a good start to the winter cropping season, many farmers were anxious about prospects for their current crops. “The good start to the season could have created false hope if we don’t get follow-up rain soon to enable growers to take advantage of the good prices for their crops,” he said. “It is quite possible that this is putting them under more stress that the drought did.” Mr Templeton said an array of support services were available to help people who felt they were not coping well with pressure. The Cootamundra community forum was initiated by Tania Baldock, a local mother of three who has close knowledge of depression and the potentially tragic outcomes it can produce if untreated.

Over 12,251 people have been tested for COVID-19 with the number of positive cases remaining at 45. The Murrumbidgee Mobile Testing Clinic continues to travel across the region to provide an opportunity for people to be tested locally. “The mobile clinic was established initially to be deployed to any COVID-19 hotspots,” explained MLHD”s Covid-19 Coordinator Emma Field, “We have received a great level of support as it traverses the region and increases public awareness about the importance of testing.” In addition to the mobile clinics, people are reminded that many towns have access to COVID-19 testing through their local General Practitioner (GP) and local clinics. GP-Led Respiratory Clinics have also been established in Gundagai, Young, Griffith, Wagga Wagga and Deniliquin. “Especially now that businesses are reopening and people are on the move, continued testing is critical to help minimise the risk of community to community transmission and to stop the spread,” added Ms Field. Anyone who feels unwell is invited to call the Murrumbidgee COVID hotline on 1800 831 099 to book a test. MOBILE TESTING CLINIC The Murrumbidgee Mobile Testing Clinic is in Gundagai and Moama today and will visit Temora and Ariah Park tomorrow.
