Odyssey Fisheries / CB Pharmacy / Sporting Complex/Golf Club & the Bowling Club GT Fishing Charters — Daniel & Kerri Raine & Horne / P & G Lewis CB Holiday Rentals / Cummins Recycle / Noel’s Flyscreens Beaches Hair Salon / CB Engineering B Hughes / Peter Bald Rick Myers / CB Motors / CB Hotel Dr Rowe has settled into the front room of the Hall and as from early February we will also have other health services running from the Hall. Talking of which, CB needs its own Health Clinic !!! It really is time for a Health Clinic that is owned by the Community for the Community, one that a Government department can’t just close down because they think that’s what’s best for CB. Somewhere that our doctor can feel settled and somewhere for other health services to work from. I have just become a member of the Port Lincoln Health Advisory Council and I will attend my first meeting in February. As the name implies, PLHAC main focus is the health needs of PL but I am hoping that I will be able to obtain advise, help, knowledge, that I will find where to source grants and what Government departments can help with funding. This is not just about what I think we need, please let me know what you think we need to cover the Communities health needs and I will share what I learn along the way. Don’t forget to pop into the Hall on Tuesday 16" for a pancake afternoon tea Cheers, Carol Fathers CONTACT US President: Mrs Carol Fathers 0400 854 441 Vice President: Ms Rachel Saxby 0417 858 122 Secretary: Mrs Tracey Matheson 0431 424 790 Public Officer: Mrs Carol Fathers 0400 854 441 Treasurer & Hall Booking Officer: Mrs Linda Christian 0409 092 168 Coffin Bay Sun: Holly Gill 0424 989 360 Hall Flag: Sandra Peters 0408 895 674 – Peter & Lorraine Bradford 0428 854 138 nd Next Progress Association meeting is 2 Tuesday of the month at 7.30pm in the kitchen of the Coffin Bay Hall. All welcome to attend 3 The Coffin Bay Sun Gardening Tip by Phil Siviour Coffin Bay Gardening Service Quite a few tomato gardens are experiencing blossom end rot. This is when the bottom of the tomato blackens and may cause young fruit not to develop. It is usually caused by not enough calcium in the soil or irregular watering. To control blossom end rot, you can increase the calcium by adding dolomite, especially if the pH of the soil is low. Gypsum can also be used as a good calcium source, but it won’t change the pH. It is best added before planting or if the tomato plant is having problems. Make sure you’re watering regularly, especially during hot weather. Use mulch to prevent the plants from drying out. Apply liquid seaweed weekly and cover with shade cloth in when it’s extremely hot.
