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.
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 […]
