Lots to do at Kinder Cottage |
|
THE Kinder Cottage in Lindisfarne is a place with great history and an equally great future!
The Cottage was previously a kindergarten and preschool that operated four mornings a week. It is now offering the same kindergarten/preschool program, with qualified teachers on staff, in a long daycare setting.
 The Kinder Cottage children enjoy a walk around the community, from left, Connor Marriott, aged 3, Tilly Sweeney, 4, Julius Patiniotis, 3, Fergus Jacobs, 3, Nikolas Papastamatis, 4, Maeve Jacobs, 3, Betty Lawson, 3. Ben Paradisis , 5, is between Maeve and Betty on the right hand side but is squatting down and wearing his blue hat so is hard to see.

Increases in rates and fire levy hit Clarence ratepayers |
RATES in Clarence have risen by 3.9 per cent this financial year and ratepayers will face an added impost with a steep rise to the fire levy.
Mayor Jock Campbell said that actual rate increases experienced by individual properties would vary according to the mix of services received.
However, Ald Campbell said Clarence ratepayers would be hit with a further major increase in the state fire levy.
“The fire levy will increase by 16.8 per cent making a total increase of 62 per cent over the past three years,” he said.
