Millicent E: mprint@setimes.com.au P: 8733 3755 42 Davenport Street 4 - The South Eastern Times, Tuesday, January 17, 2017 FUN ON THE WATER: Kayaking at Robe was a popular pastime during the annual Coastal Connections summer activity program. Environmental education program winds downs THE annual Coastal Connections summer activity program finished on the weekend with hundreds of locals and visitors attending activities across the South East. Natural Resources South East coast and marine officer Elly Schultz said there was a strong response to the free events held in Beachport, Kingston, Southend, Robe, Port MacDonnell and Cape Jaffa between January 2 and 15. “The South East boasts an amazing coastline,” Ms Schultz said. “If we want to continue to enjoy it we need to understand its fragility and care for it. “Coastal Connections was a great opportunity for families to get out, learn and explore.” Popular events have included snorkelling at Piccaninnie Ponds, Creatures of the Night walk at Woolley Lake near Beachport and the seagrass discovery tour at Kingston. Cultural Journey activities were new to the line-up this year, with one on offer in Port MacDonnell run by award winning guide Ken Jones. Coastal Connections is supported by the Limestone Coast Local Government Association and Natural Resources South East through funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program. Long service rewarded From front page “I have always relied on my family to get me places so I am lucky I have a very supportive group,” she said. “I don’t drive, so my husband often runs me around. “The phone’s a good friend for organising things.” In 2000, Ms Carthew hosted Tantanoola’s inaugural Biggest Morning Tea cancer fundraiser after being approached by the Cancer Council. “The fourth Thursday in the month was Red Cross Day, so we had it before our meeting,” she said. “Little did I know how close it was going to come to home when my grandson was diagnosed with cancer. “Now we have the morning tea in the football club because it is bigger.” Among Ms Carthew’s longest consecutive community achievements was her involvement with the Tantanoola Red Cross branch with a membership spanning three decades and 15 years as president. Despite the Tantanoola Red Cross branch going into recess a few years ago, Ms Carthew continues organising an annual Christmas lunch of former members. The event is regularly booked out, with all proceeds donated to the Australian Red Cross. “Everyone used to enjoy going to it, so we’ve just kept it going,” she said. “It’s a lot of fun and it’s some- thing the older ladies really look forward to. “Everyone always asks me if we’re still going to have it and it’s a great opportunity to get together before Christmas. “We donate all the money raised at the lunch to the Red Cross through the Southend branch.” Since 2002, Ms Carthew has coordinated the annual Tantanoola Australia Day celebration held in the town’s parklands, which is annually attended by around 50 people. “It’s a really great day and all of the children really love it,” she said. “We have games and prizes for the children and we always ask people in the park to join in. “There’s a treasure hunt and Millicent tyre centre All leading brands of tyres and wheels • Computer wheel alignment and balancing 702850 • Lube service Performance & off road specialists • On farm service • Complete range of batteries we also have the Golden Thong competition which everyone really loves.” While grateful for the honour, Ms Carthew stressed the support of her family and friends was integral to her community participation. “I lived out at a farm near Lake Bonney for 19 years and it’s only been in the last 14 years or so that I’ve lived right inside the township,” she said. “There have been a lot of people that have helped me along the way, whether it is my husband running me around or my daughters helping me to print flyers. “I don’t think I have done anything special, but I think if you live in a community you have to put back in.” Surgeries scheduled THE operating theatres resumed yesterday at Millicent and District Hospital after all elective surgery was temporarily suspended for a month. Elective surgery is also conducted at hospitals in this region at Naracoorte, Bordertown and Mount Gambier and there has likewise been a festive season closure of various periods in those places. According to a Country Health SA spokesman, there was less demand by patients for elective surgery at this time of the year. He said the elective theatre suspension at the four hospitals allowed medical and nursing staff to have time off. Emergency surgery was still performed at Mount Gambier Hospital over the Christmas/New Year period. Visiting surgeons at the Millicent operating theatres undertake general surgery as well as urology, gynaecology and other procedures. www.thesoutheasterntimes.com.au 696686
