So we’ve had a playlist about Rain this year when the rain kept tumbling down and we’ve had one with ‘Mud’ in the title and now that it is Summer and it is doing what summer does best, lets try putting together some music that has summer in the title.

We could have cheated and just put every Beach Boys song up and call it the playlist but we have to go for variety and hopefully we’ve delivered the right amount of mix.

From the 1950’s to recent years we think we got things covered for your entertainment and many of these songs are considered classics or songs that suit most moods.

Billy Thorpe’s ‘It’s Almost Summer’ has been included because firstly it is Billy Thorpe and secondly it does have ‘Summer’ in the title even if it is saying it’s almost summer when it actually now is summer.

Calvin Harris – Summer
Demi Lovato – Cool for the Summer
Bananarama – Cruel Summer
Daryl Braithwaite – One Summer
Belinda Carlisle – Summer Rain
Eddie Cochran – Summertime Blues
Grease – Summer Nights
Keith Urban – Long Hot Summer
Kid Rock – All Summer Long
Sherbet – Summer Love
Brad Paisley – Beat This Summer
The Ataris – The Boys of Summer
Billy Thorpe – It’s Almost Summer
Young Talent Team – Hot Summer Nights
Van Halen – Summer Nights

We finish this playlist with perhaps the greatest of all songs with the word ‘summer’ in it and that is Bryan Adams hit ‘Summer of ’69’.

Enjoy your Summer readers.

Deniliquin is situated in a place where nothing political really happens, elections come and go and the results are usually the same.

Federally the local area is held by the Liberals and state wise the area is held by the Nationals and has been that way for a long time with little chance of change.

But over in the seat of Orange, The Nationals seemingly carved in stone hold on that seat may come to an end as the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party have their noses in front thanks to preferences from Labor.

A Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party win would give them their first ever seat in NSW Parliament and could be a catalyst towards winning other rural seats in the state.

Many voters have stated that they were unhappy with the coalitions council mergers and the now cancelled ban on Greyhound Racing.

The council merger point is something we can relate to because we lost Deniliquin Council to merge with Conargo Shire to form the Edward River Council and that meant we lost the only council in the nation to serve just one town.

So what could all the above mean? It could mean that in the next NSW election our local seat may not be a safe place at all for the Nationals and when it is not safe it means pork barrelling happens because the Government will be desperate to hold it and the Opposition will be desperate to take it.

Perhaps we should start writing out our Political wish list to be ready in time for the elections.

Deniliquin is now getting through the second of five days of temperatures that are expected to get over 30 degrees.

33.4 degrees was the highest the temperature got today (Friday November 18) and tomorrow is expected to be 32 degrees before it picks back up on Sunday to reach 35 degrees.

Monday will be the hottest day with 39 degrees expected, earlier predictions stated 40 degrees and so we will watch carefully to see if the prediction remains on track or is either upgraded or downgraded.

Tuesday is expected to be 28 degrees before it falls further to 25 degrees on Wednesday.

Winds will be relatively calm for all days except Monday when 22 to 27km/h winds are expected to blow through town.

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are all expected to get some kind of rainfall, with Monday and Tuesday leading the odds at 80% and 90% chance each.

DNS hopes all readers make sure that everyone around them and themselves are properly hydrated and don’t forget to regularly check pet water bowls to ensure your pets have water available to them.

Stay cool Deniliquin and remember the Swim Centre is open for those who like a good late afternoon and early evening swim.

Pokémon Go Deniliquin

Pokémon Go Deniliquin is still holding steady at 184 members.

The Group is the place to go when you want to know everything local about Pokémon Go.

Group activity has been quiet in the last two weeks so perhaps interest in the game has slowed down.

Pokémon Shuffle News

Past and present locals have continued to have made progress on Pokémon Shuffle.

Kirlia on Stage 223 was defeated in the last week and so that victory was followed quickly by wins against Staraptor, Klink, Mr. Mime and Klang and now we are on Stage 228 where the Pokemon to defeat and try to catch is Gothitelle.

Mewtwo had popped up on the Special Stages though it did cost players 400 coins to have the chance to take on and try to catch the legendary Pokemon.

Slaking is available to try catch for the next week, Zygarde goes away today and so does Dialga, Keldeo is an ‘Escalation Battle’ Pokemon and there is the Pokemon Safari where you could come up against a range of Pokemon.

Pokémon Shuffle is free on Nintendo’s eShop and Apple App Store and other locations.

We’ll be back next week with a new edition of The Deni Pokémon Wrap.

September 2016

The Ute Muster is only a few weeks away but right now one of the top topics around town is Fruit and Veg.

Yes that’s right, Fruit and Veg and the reason why is because since Deni Fruit Shack opened for business, Residents have been able to purchase good quality fruit and veg at prices that are considered a must shop proposition

Deni Fruit Shack is located on the corner of Cressy Street opposite Central Pizza & Pasta which isn’t the best place when it comes to direct parking but nobody will mind a few extra seconds of walking.
