s from Monday 5th September, Bridget
A would like to welcome Carol Kretschmer to
Normanville Physiotherapy Clinic. Carol
recently did a locum for Bridget, so is already
familiar with our practice. She will be consulting
Mondays and is sure to be an invaluable member
of our team. Following is a few words of
introduction from her.
“Hello there, my name is Carol Kretschmer. I
am a ’50 something’ mother, grandmother,
physiotherapist and Reiki Master, now living at
lovely Aldinga Beach.
My longstanding career as a physio has been
largely in my own private practice in the city
limits (North Adelaide and Unley). I have
specialized experience in the field of women’s
health (pregnancy related disorders and pelvic
floor rehabilitation). More recently I have
studied Reiki therapy, a gentle but effective form
of Energy Healing which balances the body,
offering relaxation and stress relief, and
supplements the body’s own ability to heal itself
on many levels.
My own personal battle with a chronic (auto
immune) illness in recent years has led me to
embrace a broader, more holistic approach to
healing in my life and in my work.
Now that my health is returning, I look forward to
joining Bridget and her team in her
physiotherapy practice at Yankalilla.”
For appointments with Carol or Bridget, please
telephone 8558 3460.

Norfolk Pines not for
Normanville
uth Eisner and I would like to thank all of
you who put your names on our petition to
the Yankalilla Council about not planting Norfolk
Island Pines in the main street of
Normanville. Together with another petition,
there were over 350 signatures. Surely this
groundswell of opinion from residents can not be
ignored by Council? The petition has now been
submitted in time for the next Council meeting on
August 18, 2011.
We would also like to thank the editors of
Yankalilla Regional News for being willing to
publish our letters over the last few months. This
helped inform residents of the issues at stake. As
well, thank you to all the businesses and public
places in Normanville and Yankalilla which
allowed us to place our petitions in their
shops. This is a good example of everybody
working together for the general good.

Climate Change
, along with other readers of your otherwise
informative magazine, was disappointed to see a
copy of an unsigned email regarding climate
change in the last issue of the Yankalilla Regional
News (p. 12). Whilst I don’t wish to argue against
each of the opinions expressed in the article/email
and would defend the right of individuals to
express those opinions, at the very least people
with the courage of their convictions would have
included their name. In addition, if the statements
made are to be taken seriously, then proper,
documented references to the “information”
should also have been included.
As the document stands, it is little more than a rant
about the proposed carbon tax. Many of the
statements made have more to do with sustainable
living than climate change. Whilst we are
powerless to do anything about volcanic eruptions
or raging bushfires which have been with us since
time immemorial, we can reduce our impact on
the environment by taking small measures to
ensure we reduce our reliance on finite resources.
A world population of more than 6 billion people
must have a very significant impact on the
environment/climate. As a wealthy country we can
take steps to ensure that industry takes a more
sustainable approach to its production by forcing
the big polluters to limit their impact on the

environment. Whilst it will no doubt have an
effect on our hip pockets, at least Australia can’t
be accused of not taking steps to reign in pollution
and carbon emission and who knows, we as
individuals might think more carefully about the
way we use resources if there is an additional cost
incurred.
And before I am accused of being a mouthpiece
for the carbon tax or the Gillard government, I am
not certain that the proposed scheme is the best
there is. It’s a pity that other viable models have
not been seriously discussed, but at this stage it’s
the only one on offer. Australia must make a start
sometime to reduce its impact on climate and the
environment. Whether a carbon tax is the best way
of doing this, only time will tell.

Depressing religious
views
just read the August issue of the
Yankalilla News, including the coldly
depressing article by Barry Steel on page 17.
I personally found Mr Steel’s article distasteful
and needlessly critical of other religions. He also
implied that only Christadelphian teaching is valid
and everyone else’s views are wildly inaccurate.
The superior arrogance of the item was astounding
and I can only guess at whatever possessed Mr
Steel to pen such a pessimistic and negative
discourse. Perhaps he fondly believed that normal
Christians would be so impressed with his learned
bible references they would feel compelled to join
the Christadelphians and forsake the alleged
corrupt teaching of their own personal faiths.
Should a hesitant reader be looking for an
uplifting church offering empathy, love and
compassion, my advice would be to continue
searching. However, if the article in question
raised a desire for more of the same, they would
not be disappointed with the Christadelphians.

asked “Why were they on the shelf”. Answer
“That is how they came to the store”. All the more
