KNTNA Junior report – Round 16

KNTNA Junior report – Round 16

By Georgia Gill In Focus – 13A Keith got the jump on Kingston in their clash shooting five goals in the opening term and holding their opponents scoreless. A more evenly contested second quarter thanks to Rasheed and Ogilvie kept Kingston in the game as both teams scored five goals apiece. The third quarter was a mirror of the second, both teams trading goals as the margin remained at five at three quarter time. Bennett and Zacker found another gear for their side as Keith rallied and extended their lead out to nine, winning 27 to 18. Kyby had a strong start against Mundulla with Redding shooting beautifully to be up by nine at quarter time. The second quarter was much more evenly contested as Mundulla found their rhythm with excellent passages of play from both Excell and Bennett. The third quarter saw Kyby assert themselves as a top five […]

Naracoorte Golf Club Ladies results 9th August 2023

By Sally MacLeod Gus Hole kindly sponsored last week’s Stableford round when 21 ladies competed for the very generous prizes donated in memory of his mother, Lorna Hole. He has moved away from Naracoorte, so it is great to see that he is still keen to support the ladies competition from afar. The A grade winner was Trish Brooker with 35 points and the runner up was Di McCully with 28 points.   In B grade, Felicity Miles was thrilled to score 41 points – she is in cracking form having played a perfect game when competing against me in the Vice Captain’s Trophy quarter finals, last Monday. Needless to say she won on the 15 th hole. The runner up was Sylvia Adams who is continuing her good form with 36 points.  Ball run down winners were Jenny Castine with 33 points and Elaine Zerk with 32 points. Nearest the […]

NLC hangs up on Telstra

NLC hangs up on Telstra

By Chris Oldfield AN unexplained drop in mobile phone services throughout the district, Telstra profits, Optus and looming satellite mobile services are among reasons the Naracoorte Lucindale Council has rejected Telstra’s second call for ratepayer cash. But the main reason is cost-shifting and ratepayers being asked to pay for a taxpayer funded federal government responsibility. The issue arose for a second time at the council’s June meeting. Cr Monique Crossling invited In2it owner Daniel Hayes to address the meeting on behalf of Telstra. Mr Hayes explained he was a member of the Tatiara Economic Development Committee, and was originally against Telstra’s 27 mobile tower proposal which sought council funding. Mr Hayes also highlighted the problem everyone was having with Telstra throughout the district – an unexplained drop in signal. That included Telstra calls dropping out while driving between Naracoorte and Lucindale – apart from when the SE Field Days were […]

Agri Finance Specialists in Naracoorte

By Farm Finance Co The farming game has probably been the most exciting game to be in of late. The past few years have presented a lot of opportunities; low interest rates coupled with strong commodity prices has enticed many to make the move home and complete their succession planning, provided a perfect ground to expand, and allow businesses to improve farm management practices internally. Working as both finance brokers and farmers ourselves, we closely monitor the current market. We hear weekly livestock prices being released and convert that into a $/head value and ponder what turnover is going to look like for our clients. Like many, we are shocked about how quickly things have turned. The ongoing increase in expenses has meant our clients are now taking a stricter view on all expenditure. Direct enterprise costs, overheads and finance costs should all be up for review as businesses complete […]

100% mobile coverage in 2 years

100% mobile coverage in 2 years

By Chris Oldfield ACROSS the Limestone Coast and throughout Australia, Optus and SpaceX plan to provide 100 per cent mobile coverage by the end of 2025. The deal means an Optus customer should be able to connect to Starlink’s satellites to get mobile service if an Optus network is not available. It also means Crs Cameron Grundy, Darren Turner, Crash Downward, Abigail Goodman, Trevor Rayner and Peter Ireland may feel vindicated. Twice they rejected Telstra’s calls for ratepayer cash to help build 27 mobile towers in the Limestone Coast – including three in the Naracoorte Lucindale Council district – each costing $1.5 million. It’s called the Limestone Coast Connectivity project. At the council’s May meeting a block of four councillors were in favour of handing over the ratepayer funds – around $140,000. Cr Tom Dennis moved for the matter to be discussed in confidence and Cr Damien Ross seconded it. […]
