Tatiara at Padthaway next week
By Chris Oldfield The community spirit of Tatiara District Council will be on show once again when it meets at Padthaway for its August 8 meeting. Traditionally, Tatiara meets at least once a year at Padthaway and once at Keith. The meetings in the outlying towns are always held at 2pm – a time when local school students can attend, watch and ask questions of councillors and the administration. Then, during a special “kid friendly” afternoon tea, councillors and students are able to chat one-on one about school and council matters. Tatiara’s Padthaway meeting will be held on August 8 at 2pm, in the Padthaway Sporting Complex. The council hopes members of the public will also feel welcome to attend. The public forum section of the meeting will be held between 2pm and 2.30pm. Meanwhile, Tatiara is hoping to attract funding to help pay half of a $20,000 design for […]
Our cardio Phil dies
By Chris Oldfield AFTER saving hundreds of lives in our district, and throughout South Australia, leading cardiologist Dr Phil Tideman OA, has died as a result of bowel cancer, aged 64. It was at Naracoorte and Robe that in 1999 Dr Tideman first teamed up with the Kincraig and Robe Medical Clinics, setting a blueprint for the rest of the nation to follow. At the time – following research he had done in the late 1990s – Dr Tideman was concerned at least three people aged between 50-70 in our region would drop dead each year from heart attacks. Additionally, our country people had a 20 percent less chance of heart attack survival than our city cousins. Dr Tideman was determined to change that statistic, and he did. Through his Integrated Cardiovascular Clinical Network (ICARNET) project, within five years he had bridged the gap. Dr Brian Norcock of Kincraig Medical […]
Telstra signs up with Starlink
By Chris Oldfield TELSTRA’s new deal with Starlink will help provide a fixed voice service to rural and remote customers, but it won’t improve the poor mobile phone coverage in areas of the South East. Telstra announced its new deal with Starlink via a press release dated July 3. Responding to questions from The News, Telstra SA Regional General Manager Michael Patterson said Telstra was working with Starlink “to be the first provider in the world to re-sell both consumer and business Starlink broadband plans that includes a voice service. “The product will help us serve customers that today have limited options for a fixed service,” Mr Patterson said. “Our new agreement with Starlink will provide fixed Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite internet and voice access to homes and small businesses anywhere across Australia, with availability prioritising remote and rural Telstra customers at first. “This service does not provide satellite […]
Balharry Memorial Kindergarten
By Rachel Savage Balharry Memorial Kindergarten and Rural Care are raising money to upgrade our outdoor play space. Our centre, based in Lucindale, is a combined Rural Care and Kindergarten caring for children from birth to 12 years. It can be difficult to design spaces that cater for the range of ages that use our centre. Our new play space will include a fort, bridge and tunnel allowing for a range of different experiences. We are working hard to raise $30000 to complete this project. Thank you to the Naracoorte News for their contribution of $500 which will be put towards this project! Editor’s Note: With this Give Back donation of $500 we have reached $100,799 donated to local service, arts and sports groups. Please register anytime by emailing news@naracoortenews.com.
