Giants need Juniors

News, , ,

The Deniliquin Junior Giants are looking for players to participate in Under 14 Boys and the Under 16 Boys and Girls teams.

That means that boys and girls born between 2002 and 2005 have opportunity to play in the 2016/16 tournament season

Basketball is a great sport as kids and adults get to play one of the biggest sports on the planet, be in a team environment and become friends with many fellow players in a short period of time.

There’s also the incentive that they get to play for a team called the Giants and history has been mostly kind to teams with the Giants nickname.

Some of the teams to be called Giants in sport are for example the Coburg Giants (NBL/Big V), North Melbourne Giants (NBL), New York Giants (NFL), Greater Western Sydney Giants (AFL) and many more.

Visit Deni Junior Giants or contact John Fitzpatrick on 0402 500 182 for more information, expressions of interest must be in be Wednesday August 3.

Target severely damaged by fire

News, , , ,

Target has been severely damaged by a fire that erupted in the early hours of this morning.

The fire is believed to have started from the power box and made it’s way across and down causing major damage to the building and it’s contents inside.

Deniliquin History in Photos has photos of the fire in progress and the aftermath, one picture by ‘Big Robbo’ shows the fire raging at ground level just before the RFS and the FRNSW arrived to fight the fire.

Details of the fire can also be found at NSW RFS – Mid Murray Zone‘s page and DNS praises the fire services for their actions in stopping the fire from completely destroying Target and spreading to connecting shops.

Cafe 285 gave the firefighters on scene free coffee in appreciation of the firefighters efforts in fighting, containing and then extinguishing the fire.

DNS is also very pleased that nobody was killed or injured in the fire and hopes the best for the owners of the business.

What can be done?

News

Since our publishing of the latest reports on the rubbish situation, the pictures have been viewed dozens of times and are hopefully causing residents to have conversations about what to do about it.

Below are the pictures once again for those who want to see them again or see them for the first time;

So let’s brainstorm some options on what to do about the rubbish and see where it takes us.

1. Plaza owners get it cleaned up.
2. Edward River Council gives the Plaza some help.
3. ERC installs new bins throughout town (outside CBD).
4. The public gradually picks up the rubbish a piece at a time.

The first option can sound very logical to people for the place is managed by the Plaza and they should look after every inch of it even if they didn’t create the mess in the first place.

The second option can work as the ERC can get some council workers to sweep along the boundary of the Plaza and get as much rubbish as possible and their efforts would be a good news piece for the ERC as satisfaction in the past and present Council are not at high levels.

The third option sounds good and would be welcomed by those who don’t want rubbish in their yards particularly along the Plaza side of Henry Street

On the other side of Henry Street, A bin could also be placed on the corner of Napier and Henry which is 150m away from the Plaza fence but if people use it then rubbish amounts would drop and from that corner bins could be placed every hundred or so metres down Henry Street or at the end of each block creating an outside of the CBD bin network as shown below with the black and white squares and rectangles representing bins.

The last option that has been thought of can work but it is acknowledged there is a discomfort in being seen picking up rubbish whilst the town goes by going about their daily business but there is always those who won’t care and do the task for the good of all.

What do you the reader think? What can be done? Feel free to post your thoughts anytime as the expression of thought is a wonderful thing.
