ubbish bin – it is an easy clean-up with my having a quick shower and then<br />

into my Sunday best for the final hour of church.<br />

Nothing ever came of my community service work while at CTC because<br />

there was work to be done at ‘home’, which I considered to be more<br />

important than getting out into the small community that is Cadell. I grew<br />

up in the bush and so I am quite familiar with such environment.<br />

In 1986 I joined the local Tidy Town Competition group to beautify<br />

Goroke. When we won the Tidy Town Award for a population under 500,<br />

I was part of the delegation that picked up the prize from John Cain, the<br />

premier of Victoria.<br />

Individuals who cannot clean up after themselves and who show no pride in<br />

having a clean environment still amaze me. Why is it, for example, that<br />

South Australia is still the only state with a deposit on bottles and<br />

containers?. South Australia certainly has far less litter than the other states.<br />

After receiving a copy of the November 2009 edition of the Cadell Courier<br />

the Director of the Adelaide Institute, Peter Hartung, writes the following<br />

and reproduces the article written by editor, Peter Wiskich.<br />

Poster Boy - Dr <strong>Töben</strong> honoured in prison newspaper<br />

Page 4 of the Cadell Courier, the monthly newspaper of Cadell Training<br />

Centre, where Dr <strong>Töben</strong> is currently imprisoned for three months.<br />

Since he started this initiative, several other prisoners have followed suit.<br />

Toben seems to be enjoying his little holiday immensely, the food is<br />

good and he has made lots of new friends. He is due to be released on<br />

12th November. A naughty boy like him, who refuses to believe the silly<br />

World War Two Holocaust propaganda, will probably end up back in<br />

there again before too long!!<br />

As an aside, I mentioned to Peter Wiskich my trials and tribulations at the<br />

hands of the Victoria’s education system. He then informed me that his<br />

brother had advised him I had been one of his teachers at Marryatville High<br />

School. Yes, from 1994 to 1997 I was a relief teacher at that school. It is a<br />

small world when it gets to such matters. But that is the problem that always<br />

crops up when we begin to think politically. More of this elsewhere in<br />

discussing how the premier of stated publicly, ‘No Early Release for Earley’.<br />
