The Nurtured Village Upper South East
By Molly Hannaford The Nurtured Village is a nationally registered maternal mental health charity that relies on the generosity of our community to support young mothers and families around Australia. Myself (Molly Hannaford) and Emma Mehlhopt are proud to be supporting an Upper SE Limestone Coast branch that services Naracoorte, Lucindale, Padthaway, Bordertown, Mundulla and Keith. Our goal being to bring back the traditional village of support in early parenthood. Each month, with the help of community members and The News Gives Back program, we knock on a families door with a car boot load full of donated home cooked meals, baby essentials, non-perishables and small gifts in an effort to provide practical support to families, express solidarity, kindness and in the process, forge villages in our community. Reminding them no matter how deep the trenches of parenting feel, there is a tribe of people who are tunnelling with them. […]
Spending welcomed in MacKillop
Your Say: Nick McBride MP, Member for MacKillop The Member for MacKillop, Nick McBride MP, has welcomed specific spending on Education and Health in this year’s Labor State Budget, but says there are still many areas that need to be addressed in the region. Mr McBride says he was pleased to see money directed towards upgrades to ageing school infrastructure, including a massive $9.7 million to the Meningie Area School. “The Meningie Area School has plans for a new Administration and Library area. I advocated to the Education Minister for this upgrade, and am pleased to see that the Government has listened and chosen to invest in this school.” Other schools in MacKillop to receive funding include the following: – Coomandook Area School – New science lab and LED lighting – Naracoorte High School – Refurbishment for music area – Naracoorte South Primary School – refurbishment of toilet facilities – […]
Creek walk to nowhere
Your Say: Helen and Kingsley Baker, Naracoorte Every day we walk our dogs along the Naracoorte creek, weather allowing, and different sections each day. Walking down the ramp behind Foodland to get onto the walk, what a shock we got. The section to the right to go under the railway bridge was blocked off by huge rocks, and the walk dug up and a lot of trees planted blocking the whole area off. So then walked to the “duck pond ” area, only to be shocked again, as trees planted in the water way, which will be washed away, the tree guards to be washed away as well, to become an eye sore along the creek. Continuing along behind the caravan park, a lot more trees planted once again in the water ways. These are completely covered in water, these trees require little water, so will die. What a dreadful […]
Population: to what end?
Your Say: Jennifer Grundy, Naracoorte An increase in population in our cities and towns begs the question, to what end? It seems to be governments, developers and city councils in particular that advocate such policies which do not necessarily align with the wishes of the general population, whose domain it is to determine such life changing decisions. The aim to fill the employment gap is not the answer because larger numbers of people require ever more services and a larger population will not guarantee a better or more prosperous nation. I suspect our leaders have succumbed to globalisation in all its aspects which is to the detriment of the way of life we have known and cherished and still desire for this country.
