2 NEWS Seniors Lunch Specials with free coffee Come and see the amazing waves from our sea view restaurant! Thursdays $15 R BOMPAS OF BEACHPORT 8735 8333 3 Railway Tce, Beachport Millicent motorists accused of drug driving offences NINE drivers across the Limestone Coast were detected for drug driving on the weekend following last week’s detection of three Millicent drivers for the same offence. Between last Friday and Sunday, drug drivers were detected in Mount Gambier, Naracoorte, Millicent, Kingston and Penola. Their ages ranged from 20 to 54 with six returning positive results for cannabis, two for methamphetamine and one for both methamphetamine and cannabis. The detection of the nine drivers follows after three in Millicent on the previous weekend. On Friday, June 20 at about 2.10pm, police stopped a 19-year-old Millicent woman on North Terrace, Millicent for a driver screening test. She allegedly recorded a positive result to methamphetamine and she was issued with a driver direction notice not to drive for 24 hours. At about 11.20am on Saturday, June 21, a 21-yearold Millicent man was stopped in relation to driver screening testing on Thomas Drive, Mount Burr. He recorded a positive result to both methamphetamine and cannabis and was issued with a driver direction notice not to drive for 24 hours. Around 11.35am on Sunday, June 22, a 19-year-old Millicent man was stopped on Scanlon Street, Millicent for driver screening testing. He allegedly recorded a positive result to cannabis and he was issued with a driver direction notice not to drive for five hours. He was also fined for driving an unregistered car. All samples will be sent to the forensic science centre and if the results are confirmed each of the drivers will be reported for drug driving. Millicent Senior Sergeant Peter Brown said police were disappointed with the behaviour of motorists throughout the region who were driving after using illicit drugs. “For the 12 months until June 2014, about 18pc of drivers tested have returned positive results to either methamphetamine or cannabis,” Sgt Brown said. “If you are a drug user and choose to drive you are a danger to others. “You should take responsibility for your actions by not driving and if necessary getting help for your drug problem.” 2014 Land RoveR neW ModeLS. neW FeaTUReS. neW ReFineMenTS enqUiRe aT yoUR deaLeR noW Mac Land Rover 44 Mount Gambier Road Millicent, SA 5280 Phone (08) 8733 2325 www.maclandrover.com.au Land Rover Finance is provided by St. George Finance Limited (abn 99 001 094 471) australian Credit Licence 387944 to approved customers only.

Golden anniversary Hospital commemorates 50 years of operation From front page “Whenever change moves from the old to the new, we bring along our memories and our tradition,” Ms Atkinson said. “We do this because the old has influenced our personal lives, made an impact or transformed us in a particular way. “Hospitals and health care services are renowned for these characteristics because it is vital that we enjoy good health and we experience birth and death and everything in between.” Ms Atkinson commended the care provided by the hospital staff since doors opened 50 years ago. “Rural hospitals such as Millicent become an icon in their communities through personal need, tragic events, the miracle of birth and the reality of death,” she said. “Fifty is considered to be the golden age and may it remain that way for the Millicent and District Hospital outreach.” Wattle Range councillor and former hospital board member Rural hospitals such as Millicent become an icon in their communities through personal need, tragic events, the miracle of birth and the reality of death Daphne Atkinson John Drew spoke fondly of the past and present employees and community members who have contributed to the success of the hospital. “We have had hardworking and skillful doctors and nurses to the cleaners who ensure a healthy medical facility, to the admin staff who work quietly behind the scenes,” he said. “The hospital wouldn’t be what it is without the volunteers, especially the auxiliaries, service clubs and the cancer support group who all work tirelessly in their efforts.” Cr Drew was optimistic about the hospital’s continued prosperity during times of adversity. “We know there are challenges in the future but we need to keep going forward,” he said. “We need to continue the ongoing fight to make sure our hospital remains as strong as it was 50 years ago today.” Six commemorative roses were planted by past and present representatives from the hospital before an afternoon tea was served at Banksia House. www.thesoutheasterntimes.com.au C H E SAFETY DEPENDS ON YOU Tractor 644815 644149 649476 H • O Y • P O E H WIN A $1000 bank account U A N C E T O • • S R
