SE Veteran golf results

By Max Clifford A good field of 66 went to Millicent’s course on a fine winters day, including 5 of our Victorian  neighbours, but they all found the course hard to score on, with 36 points the best in  both Divisions. In First, Bill Mullan, a local, won from Mark Pilmore 34, counting out Milan Hodak 34. Second Div went to Rob “Tank” Thompson 36, from Dennis Smith 34, and Bobby Davies 33. The ball rundown was to 28, and the Ross Orchard trophy winners were Brian Foreman and Ian Todd. The NTP’s were Noel Chant, Lindsay Storer and Simon Browning. Barry Brook gleefully snaffled the Scotch. We next visit Robe on July 31 followed by Blue Lake, August 14 and Mt Gambier on Aug 28.  “Got the Snake”

KNTNA A Grade match reports / KNTNA Junior report – Round 12

1° KNTNA A GRADE MATCH REPORT By Sally Bywater Bordertown v Lucindale Bordertown played a tight, strong, controlled game which made it difficult for Lucindale. Lucindale played a great team game resulting in well deserved turnovers. There was great defensive pressure all over the court from both teams which made it difficult for the goalies to score. Scores were even at half time, 16-16. Lucindale made changes at half time and capitalised on turnovers getting themselves in front at three quarter time, 28-25. A low scoring last quarter with Lucindale finishing off better to get the points, 38-31. Keith v Mundulla Keith came out firing with Mary Wachtel and Em Richardson shooting the lights out in the first quarter, 17-9 at the first break. Mundulla fought back strong in the second quarter with some tight defence and turnovers coming from Alix Lovering and Renae Feder, Keith in front 25-17 at […]

Keith v Mundulla 22 July 2023

By Barb Altus The lead alternated multiple times during the very closely contested match before Mundulla retook the lead at the end of the third quarter and finished strongly to win by 28 points. After some minor scores the Tigers goaled first when Hinge and Stephan drove the ball to Guy who kicked truly, then Studham and King slammed the ball to Hinge whose banana kick from the boundary close to goal was accurate. McAuley, Innes, Bibby and Seb Schreiber were strong for Keith who replied when Wilson, McNeil and Colby Read worked the ball to Wade who made no mistake, and the Crows attacked repeatedly but only minor scores ensued before the Moots’ Noll and the Mosey brothers directed the ball to Hinge who kicked truly and at quarter-time Mundulla led 3-2-20 to 1-5-11. Keith goaled first in the second term when Innes and Hender forced the ball to […]

Footy report

The evenness of the KNTFL was underlined again on Saturday with some very close results and a near upset of the year. Bottom side Kybybolite led for most of the day before succumbing to top team Border Districts by just two goals in what would’ve been the upset of the year so far. Kyby led by 4 points at the last change but Borders’ class players stepped up when it mattered to win 12.6 to 10.6, with Mackenzie Bower kicking 4 goals and on-baller Mark Quinn 3. Mundulla powered away in the last quarter to have an important win over Keith. Mundulla led by only two points at the last change, but kicked four goals to none in the last quarter to win 13.10 to 8.12 and hold onto second spot on the ladder. James Hinge is running into some good form and kicked six goals for Mundulla, while Blake […]

Creek walk trees

Your Say: Robyn Hage I was very pleased to read Helen and Kingsley Baker’s article “Creek walk to nowhere” last week. I was walking the creek walk the day of planting, and it took 8 men to plant those hundreds of trees, obviously no one had any knowledge of the natives and grasses they were planting as besides being planted in the watercourse, they are planted far too close together. I believe if I walk that route this time next year, I will not see any alive. What a waste of time and money.

Power prices rort

Power prices rort

Your Say: Ken Grundy, Naracoorte Most power prices have risen by 25% but there are some reported to soon double. The feeble answers provided across the board say to ‘put on an extra jumper’ or ‘shop around’. Just imagine if basic food or fuel prices suddenly rose by such astronomical amounts  –  there would be uproar! Where are the political leaders in this case? The Government Minister Bowen smiles while he repeats, like a cracked record, that renewables provide the cheapest power.  Where is this beast? Opposition spokesmen reckon we need to generate more power to presumably offer more competition.  Well, we have adequate power now so why would more help?  Every time we turn the switch, the light shows power is evident.  Only in rare circumstances is there a shortage. Somewhere along the wires between the generation and the consumer there must be one or more cases of rorting. […]

The Voice

Your Say: Arnold Pfitzner Why are we faced with a race-based referendum on enshrining special privileges in the Constitution forever?  How can anyone seriously claim that this will unite all Australians?  How about ‘it is not meant to’.  Marxist in origin, this change is designed to tear down institutions, according to Thomas Mayo, the indigenous activist who contributed to the design of The Voice.  Readers, this is no “conspiracy theory” as Mayo has previously paid his respects to “the elders of the Communist Party who I think without a doubt have played a very important role in our activism”.  Our part will be to “pay the rent… (and) reparations”.  We all know what that means. A modest request indeed, Albo.

Loading allowance for teachers

Loading allowance for teachers

By Nasik Swami Good news for teachers who go and work in regional schools in South Australia. Minister for Education Blair Boyer has announced that the loading allowance for teachers in rural South Australia will become an ongoing payment from 2024. This means anyone who is eligible to receive the allowance in the 2024 school year, including those who currently receive it and those who move to a regional school or preschool, will receive the country incentive zone allowance for as long as they stay in the country. Mr Boyer said currently, the Country Incentive Zone Allowance expires after five or eight years, depending on the remoteness of the location teachers work in. He said this change will help attract teachers to work in the country and support teacher retention in regional areas, ensuring staffing continuity to support student learning. “Growing up in a small country town, I know firsthand […]
