Give Back reaches $100,000
By Michael Waite, Founder/Volunteer michael@naracoortenews.com (08) 8121 4141 YOUR support has propelled The News’ Gives Back initiative past $100,000 in contributions to local community groups. From an audacious idea my sister, Mary Waite, had to give away 25 cents of every copy sold before we had even sold our first advertisement – let alone printed our first edition in May 2020 – to today, 1176 days and 160 editions later, we are thrilled to pass the donation milestone of $100,000. Thank you – our community of readers, advertisers, sponsors, members, annual advertisers, and community contributors – for your partnership and investment. A massive thank you also to the incredible team members, past and present, who have shared a part of their life journey with The News. The past three years (and two months) have included plenty of ups and downs, plus some bumps and bruises, but your professionalism, hard work, […]
iPad’s donated to Longridge residents
By Mary-Ann Koerner The local volunteers of the Naracoorte “Meals on Wheels” branch have again supported Longridge. Meals on Wheels volunteers donate their mileage reimbursement to their local social account, which is then paid forwarded, to support other local organisations charities. This time they have purchased two extra-large, 13-inch iPad’s for our residents to use, and needless to say, since their arrival, they have hardly been turned off! Some older people struggle with mobile technologies, often for reasons other than a lack of technological aptitude. The average smartphone measures 5 to 6 inches. This can make such a screen difficult for the older person with impaired vision to read and the screen size can also present challenges of manual dexterity for seniors who have arthritis or health conditions that cause weakness and unsteadiness in the hands. While it is still somewhat unusual for a senior to own a tablet, they […]
Listen, CEO told
By Nasik Swami A Naracoorte-Lucindale counsellor has asked the council and his fellow elected members what they intend to do about the poor management of road maintenance and the underutilization of the road-making machinery in the district. In a question with notice submitted on July 13 to be presented in the council’s meeting this month, Cr Trevor Rayner said, “I get re-elected on the promise of trying to address this issue, but at this stage it has been to no avail”. Council chief executive officer Trevor Smart has replied to the question, with a response appearing on the agenda item for the council’s July 25 meeting and published on the council website. Explaining the reason for his motion to The News, Cr Rayner said he brought a wealth of experience and knowledge on road works to the council, having worked with various councils on best practises for road maintenance for […]
McBride fires back
By Nasik Swami My priorities have not changed. That’s the message from member for MacKillop and quitting Liberal Party MP Nick McBride. Mr McBride made the comment while responding to claims made by South Australia Liberal Party leader David Speirs that the MP’s resignation was “disappointing” and a “changing of priorities”. “I would like to make it very clear—my priorities as the Member for MacKillop have not changed,” he said. “As I said in my statement when leaving the Liberal Party, my primary aim is to achieve better outcomes and more funding for the people who live and work in MacKillop.” Mr McBride said that as an independent, he had the freedom to work with whomever was in government to achieve results that benefitted the entire region. “That is my aim. “The people in MacKillop know that I pride myself on having respectful relationships with all sides of politics.” Mr […]
