Your Say: Representative Government

Your Say: Ken Grundy, Naracoorte
It was very refreshing to read in the News (Jan 24th) of the considerable work Cr Peter Ireland had undertaken to gauge the community attitude to the proposed Sporting Centre. If all councillors made the effort to discover the community wish list, we would have less debate and better outcomes.

Your Say: Philip Cornish, Bordertown
As a new year begins and we celebrate Australia Day, there is much to reflect on as pressure increases on our Nation to change those values and traditions that have made Australia a great place to live in. The daily news segment clearly reflects a Nation falling apart at the seams.

Cricket report

by | Feb 6, 2024 | , ,

Inspired by a century from captain Loren Bald, Naracoorte Warriors nearly pulled off a win that would have given their finals hopes a massive boost in Millicent & Naracoorte Cricket Association last Saturday. Playing at Wortley Oval and needing to win to stay in contention for 4th spot on the ladder, Bald was elevated to Playing at Wortley Oval and needing to win to stay in contention for 4th spot on the ladder, Bald was elevated to open the innings rather than bat in the middle order, and the move paid off.

Reconciling our past

by | Jan 30, 2024 | ,

By Nasik Swami
We would have been so much better if we had reconciled our past with the First Nations people of this land.
This was the message delivered by James Darling AM, a South Australian conversationalist who was the guest speaker at Australia Day celebrations at the Naracoorte Town Square.
In a thought-provoking message, Mr Darling said we must continue to give a fair go to all, irrespective of backgrounds, culture, or creed.

Your Say: David Beauchamp, Naracoorte

Your Say: Poor wheelchair access and information available at the Naracoorte Caves National Park

by | Jan 30, 2024 | , ,

Your Say: Ivor Wolstencroft
For a World Heritage Site I found on a recent visit to the caves that the service by Rangers was exceptional but the offering for wheelchair users was very poor. Has anyone recently reviewed the wheelchair accessible display (which a visitor pays for) with their very dated “touch screens” at the end of the display.

Bridge: Don’t Bid Again

Bridge: Don’t Bid Again

by | Jan 30, 2024 | , ,

by John Elliott
One of my firmly held principles is that after opening 1NT or a Weak Two, I will not bid again unless Forced or invited to do so.  Stayman and Transfers count as forcing bids after 1NT and a single raise of 1NT to 2NT counts as an invitation, to bid 3NT with a maximum, or Pass with a minimum.
