Through a series of events that went wrong while cooking dinner at her apartment in Thailand on 11 April, 2018 Victoria was rushed to a Thai hospital suffering 30% burns to her upper body. 37 year old Victoria is sharing her story through the Coober Pedy Regional Times, reaching out to thank many of those who came to her aid and to perhaps inspire others who may be facing a serious life challenge of their own. Throughout this ordeal (far from over) Victoria has shown strength and courage that might rival some of history’s finest women warriors. Victoria relived her ordeal for our story: “I was heating up a pot of oil on a portable burner, which is what I use for cooking at home in Chiang Mai Thailand.

Dean Miller rolled into town on Sunday 29 September, just in time to attend a Concerned Resident Group meeting at the Greek Hall, addressing council accountability. While many may expect such a meeting to be a culture shock for an incoming CEO, Dean said that he has worked in country councils before. Dean is an experienced leader having been the CEO at Hindmarsh Shire Council and Swan Hill Rural City Council, both in Victoria. He has had an extensive career spanning 30 years predominantly in local government. His leadership and people skills are his main attributes, along with very strong financial management and strategic planning experience. Dean is a Certified Practising Accountant and grew up in Geelong. When asked his age, he responded with, “46, plus GST”. “The challenges of the role and the opportunity to help place the Council and community on a more sustainable footing were key factors in my decision to accept the role”, Mr Miller said. He added, “My focus for the first 100 days will be to engage with as many people as possible to understand their aspirations and priorities for the future. The results of these discussions will, amongst other things, guide my decision-making for the term of my contract.” District Council of Coober Pedy CEO Dean Miller.
