School relocation2
THE RELOCATION of the Riverland Special School has been ongoing since 2004 when the governments wanted to redevelop the existing site when there was around 40 plus students.

Embellished headline1
IN REFERENCE to the police report headed 'Teen bashed at fundraiser' in a recent edition of The Murray Pioneer (30/3/10), I would like to express my disappointment in your reporting of the incident.

Cut immigration now
IN MY 65 years I've never voted Liberal, or Labor for that matter.

SCHAPELLE CORBY'S on the cover of Woman’s Day again.

EDITORIAL: Rip-offs provide perspective1
The State Government has little influence on where the Federal Government spends its - or more accurately 'our' – education money.

Local sinners are being punished. First a plague of locusts (The Pioneer, 7/4/10) and floods are coming soon. What’s next? Death of first-born? Or worse, a beer price hike?

Berri

Now that Mike Fuller has a bit of spare time on his hands, maybe now is a good time to crank up the Barmera Berri Ratepayers Association, of which Mike is the chairman and founder. Maybe they can lobby the council once again for a bit of rates relief in the upcoming council budgets. Keep up the good work, Mike.

‘Tiger Woods owes us all an apology’, so says one of his lovers. All the lovers deserve is to be sued by Tiger’s wife. They all knew he is married and who he is. Time for a law change to protect the married man against vultures. It takes two to have an affair.

Hopefully the Riverland Central Plaza can replace those couple of shops and flourish into the future (The Pioneer, 7/4/10). We need Berri to be a strong shopping hub. I think rent relief for shop owners would be a great idea. I don’t buy the excuses the plaza’s management give for not being able to do that, simply because if many more shops pull out, the plaza will go down the gurgler. How much rent money will management collect then? It’s a no-brainer.

Help! I’m being invaded by grasshoppers (The Pioneer, 7/4/10) and they’ve just been getting worse all week.

Great to see other sports, like netball, soccer and hockey judging by your cover, are getting a mention in The Pioneer’s Winter Sports Guide next week. Can’t wait for my copy.

To Graham: Since when do grown, married men need laws "protecting" them from so called predatory women? The only protection they need is self control and adherance to their marriage vows. Your letter is so absurd it makes me wonder whether you are having a joke.

Here we go Berri / Barmera Council rates to go up again. I wonder if they will get smart and realise just because some houses are valued high the people who live in them and pay the huge rate bill are not always wealthy with plenty of spare cash to part with. Yup we are doing it tough and the Council, State and Fed Gov all dont give 2 squirts of anything.
