I am a retired clinical psychologist, and administrator and owner of a rehabilitation clinic we founded 40 years ago. For over 55 years I have managed several portfolios composed of investments accumulated over our professional careers. Since the financial crisis of 2008, I have employed specialized, customized dividend growth strategies aimed at enhancing and growing a dividend income stream.
Since December 24, 2014, I have demonstrated on Seeking Alpha the ongoing construction and portfolio management of the Fill-The-Gap Portfolio aimed at highlighting strategies investors may utilize to close the gap between an average Social Security benefit and the much greater costs faced in retirement.
This portfolio has outperformed all of the broad market indexes by a very wide margin, growing dividend income and total portfolio value consistently while the broader indexes struggle in negative territory all year.
Aside from free articles available to the general public, additional early-access, value-added ideas and deep-dive articles are offered to paid subscribers on my premium SA platform, "Retirement: One Dividend At A Time"
Let me show you how to build and grow your portfolio and dividend income, step by step, towards a comfortable and secure retirement.
Mr. Berger is the creator and developer of the YDP screening tool, a chart system and its analysis for screening and monitoring dividend income equity investments. The recipient of Seeking Alpha's Outstanding Performance Award, he also has been Seeking Alpha's #3 ranked Author for Income Investing Strategy & #4 for Utilities.
20 years of sitting in the board room gives me unique insights into Oil & Gas investments and corporate deal making in general. Additionally, he offers a Premium Research subscription service for boosting income while reducing market risk using covered option writing on a dividend income equity portfolio.
Residing in Brazil gives me a local's inside view on the pulse of its economy, politics, investment climate and breaking news. A view of my front yard is available here.
A former Chief Operating Officer, Director, Vice President and General Manger of Oil and Gas for Southern Pacific's Oil and Gas Operations, Business owner, geologist, and cribbage player, I've been an investor for over 48 years (started young at 13) and learned my lessons the way that makes them stick, by hard knocks and both big and little mistakes. Hopefully I can share some of those lessons with others.
I am an American expatriate that decided to retire at age 57 in 2009 and now live in Brazil. As an early retiree I invest for income and manage portfolio risk by screening for strong and reliable historic data along with favorable fundamental and technical current trends.
I spend 6 months/year living at home in Brazil and 6 months/year traveling the world. I have structured my financial positions so that I live virtually tax free with much of my income exempt from US tax since I live ex patriot and a lot of my US derived income over the annual ex-patriate exemptions is held in my tax free ROTH and tax deferred IRA/SIMPLE plans. This enables my tax savings to pay for my 6 months of annual traveling :) .
My investing is for income and appreciation with a balance of low to moderate short term risk and low long term risk. To accomplish this I use quality dividend payors with a long track record of steady or increasing dividends along with slowly appreciating equity prices. I target a 6 to 9 % yield and almost exclusively require a minimum history of 5 years of steady/increasing dividends and no decreases in dividend ever or at least past 10 years. I diversify through sector, country and currency unit the stocks are traded in, and security type (equity, royalty trust, REIT, mlp, etf, and ADRs).
I use covered call writing to enhance my portfolio yield with no added risk. In fact, it lowers the risk substantially. Once I identify a stock I want to own and an entry price for it, I write cash covered puts at or below that entry price (with a minimum of 1%/month time premium. Thus i obtain at least a 12% annualized yield before compounding just from the option premium.
Likewise, I use the sale of cash covered puts to generate income and and generally get an entry point at 5 to 10% below my acceptable entry level price if/when the put stock does get presented. Thus my strategy provides a 12% pre compound yield on cash and entry into stock purchases at a 5 to 10% discount from "retail".
Because I only select stocks that I am willing to hold long term for their reliable dividend yields of > 6%, I am not concerned much with market volatility or short/midterm risk. Indeed, market volatility is my friend since it increases the premiums paid on the options I sell. I also selectively sell covered calls on positions I hold long so as to add to my yield that way while not taking on any additional risk.
This strategy has kept me happily living off my portfolio income and traveling 1/2 the year while my portfolio has been slowly increasing in value even after my harvesting income for living expenses. Of course my income will incrementally increase when social security kicks in for me in a few more years and I may then slightly mofidy my goals and strategies.

I am a simple individual investor who believes that the playing field is level, but may require active management of one's holdings.
I've devised a series of steps that constitute a highly defined covered option strategy that most anyone can follow and that I've described in Option to Profit (2011).
Having retired from a career in Pediatric Dentistry, approximately 10 years ahead of schedule, after spending the previous 10 years working just 2 days each week, I now spend my time trading and alerting others of trading opportunities in large cap positions through the Option to Profit subscription service, a premium subscription service that provides actionable Trading Alerts via text messaging or e-mail at www.optiontoprofit.com. as well as a Web site access only subscription plan.

I want you to join me in making your stock portfolio improve the quality of your life. Whatever stage of life you are in, you can make your stocks improve that quality by putting them to work for you.
Dividend Growth Investor since 2011.
In July 2013 we moved from a managed account with a mutual fund, stock and bond portfolio to our own Dividend Growth portfolio. I am still evaluating the current portfolio holdings as they fit in our DGI "Plan".
Update: June 2015 I am now fully retired and am following our plan for life long financial independence. Retirement and financial independence are two different life goals and as such should be treated differently. Now when I check our discount brokerage account I now look at the cash being generated rather than the total value. This income generating plan seems to be working just fine as dividends are being used to support our day to day life. We currently have a 4.1% yield, 4.4% YOC and 6% dividend CAGR.
My Father was a DGI for over 70 years and my parents lived off the dividends for over 30+ years showing me the way forward.
I continue to read S/A articles daily and am still learning from the many dedicated authors.
I volunteer my time to our High School First Robotics Team. It is amazing what these students can do over the 6 week build season.
There are certain stocks I will not buy and I like to have stocks of products we use. For example when we pay for gas the dividends from XOM, CVX and COP pays the bill and BCE, RCI and VZ pay for phone and internet. You get the idea. If there was only a good dividend vacation stock... Maybe CNK.
I am long on the following: Comments welcome on my holdings.
Info Technology; AAPL, CSCO, GOOG, GOOGL, MSFT, WU
Telecommunications; BCE, RCI, T, VZ
Financials; AFL, BRK-B, CB, PRU, TMP, USB, ORI

My name is Mike McNeil and I'm the author of The Dividend Guy Blog along with the owner and portfolio manager over at Dividend Stocks Rock. I earned my bachelor degree in finance-marketing, own a CFP title along with an MBA in financial services. Besides being a passionate investor, I'm also happily married with three beautiful children.
I started my online venture to educate people about investing and to be able to spend more time with my family.
I used to struggle with the same issues millions of small investors deal with on a daily basis. Which stocks to buy? When to sell them? How to find the time to manage my portfolio? How to diversify? I wasn't into dividend investing until I looked in depth at my portfolio returns and realized I was having difficulty keeping up with the market.
The root of the problem was a very poorly built portfolio that lacked structure and the components required to build a sturdy base. I made good money from the stock market but I was taking unnecessary risk to achieve my investing goals.
From that point on, I was determined to create a portfolio strategy that would allow me to benefit from dividend growth stocks as a solid foundation. Since then, I manage my portfolio with a stress free method that enables me to cash out dividend payments even when the market goes sour.
The Parsimony community is made up of thousands of do-it-yourself dividend and income investors working toward one common goal...generating consistent income!

Investing is never 'no sweat' but how about some 'low sweat' investing? That's what I call my personal investing approach, which I think can work well for people living on their portfolios (or planning to).
My approach is simple: a diversified portfolio of stocks with dividends that rise to offset inflation, high quality fixed income investments, as well as a few higher yielding diversifiers like REITs and other alternative asset classes. I've been investing this way since the bear market of 2000-2002 and it has served me well in good markets and bad.
I'm an everyday investor living in a California beach town. Before deciding to support myself solely through investing (which is making money) and writing (which is making no money) I worked for a large advertising agency.
I've researched and written a number of articles and other posts on Seeking Alpha, mostly about dividend-growth stocks, but also on ETFs, the stock market and the economy. I also reviewed three books, including a couple of offbeat ones for financial adventure lovers.
The articles (and many of the Instablog posts) include references and links to the important numbers, news, studies, analysts' views, and strategists' outlooks I uncovered in researching the stories. That way, readers who want to know more can check it all out, or just dig deeper into an item or two that interests them most.
Kevin is an independent investor. He advocates a conservative strategy of waiting for significant market pullbacks and buying long-term dividend stocks during attractive buying opportunities.
I am an individual investor and the author of seven eBooks on dividend growth investing. I try to help self-directed individual investors profit from stock investing. I contribute articles and studies to both Seeking Alpha and Daily Trade Alert. I hold an undergraduate degree in physics from Holy Cross College and a JD from Georgetown University.

BREXIT, ARM and Uncertainty
It is Too Early to Tell
In the last few days, I heard that Garrison Keeler will no longer be intoning, "It has been a quiet week in Lake Woebegone…" He is retiring. Yes, even in Europe we have heard the Prairie Home Companion, and here in Britain none of the last few weeks have been quiet weeks.
The story goes that Zhou Enlai, the Chinese Communist Leader, when asked about the impact of the French Revolution, said, "It is too early to say." The myth-busting wisdom is that he was talking not about the storming of the Bastille in 1789 and the subsequent events, but the student events of 1968. However, the statement does encompass a great deal of historical wisdom: in particular, we should not rush to predict the consequences of events. Yet there is no shortage of people prepared to rush to judgement on the web within seconds of an event, whether or not they are fully informed.
Treading on Thin Air
Engineering the Second Generation
Somewhere, in a nondescript cubicle in building number umpteen of a multi-billion-dollar multinational multi-technology conglomerate, an engineer sits at a lab bench staring at an eye diagram on six-figure scope. It's the same every day. Any time he is not in a meeting or writing a status report, he sits in this lab and eats and breathes signal integrity. He has almost no concept of the end product that will incorporate his work. His entire universe is jitter, pre-emphasis, equalization, noise, amplitudes, and bit-error rates. For him, time stands still - in the picoseconds.
Processing Parallel Worlds
MIT Swarm Processor Shows Spectacular Early Results
Programming with parallelism is sometimes illustrated with a kitchen example. One cook working by himself has to do everything in sequence: turn on the stove, mix the batter, pour the sauce, grill the meat, etc. That's serial programming with no parallelism. That's how all computers worked until fairly recently.
But two cooks can work faster than one. While one stirs the batter, the other can be checking on the meat or seasoning the broth. Ideally, the work gets done twice as fast. In practice, it's not usually that perfectly efficient, but, even so, two heads are almost always better than one.
Keeping the FCC and Open Source Happy
Prpl: Routers Can Be Secure and Open
The FCC is worried. You and they spend all this time and energy getting your radio certified, and then some bozo hacks in, changes how the radio works, and puts you out of spec.
And so, back in early 2015, the FCC issued some guidelines or questions regarding WiFi devices – particularly home routers – in an effort to ensure that your radio isn't hackable.

Verific Language Parsers and Your Startup Success
Filed under "Don't Try This at Home" or "Not to be Taken Lightly", most EDA engineering teams don't even consider building their own language front end. Most of you will know the name Verific and some probably have used their language parsers a time or two (or twenty), but many of you may not know that Verific also has a robust and comprehensive startup program. In this week's Fish Fry, Rick Carlson and I chat about how your startup can stand out from the crowd with a little help from Verific. Rick also shares with us some Verific-assisted startup success stories and explains why the giraffe is Verific's signature giveaway.

Searching for a guitar with an absolutely classic style and tone? Congratulations, you've found it. The Loar guitars are the very definition of 'exceptional', from their gorgeous looks to their name (in honor of Gibson master luthier Lloyd Loar). Of course, the most important thing is how they sound, and with their vintage craftsmanship based on original Loar designs from 1919 to 1924, these guitars do not disappoint. They're built with care using century-old handcrafting techniques and concepts, and the result is a line of guitars that seem as though they were shipped in a time machine from that golden age. When you perform, your stage presence depends almost as much on your appearance as it does on your acoustics. That's one of the great things about The Loar guitars: they're amazing on both counts, so your audiences will have a treat for ears and eyes alike. Need something that's ready to go whenever you are? Check out the LH-200 Small Body Acoustic-Electric Guitar (or its acoustic counterpart if you're not planning to plug in). These compact instruments are perfect for songwriters and touring musicians in need of a portable guitar with full-sized sound. Some of The Loar's most timeless designs are their vintage and jazz-inspired archtop models, including the LH-300, LH-600 and LH-650 Cutaway. Finished in hand-buffed nitrocellulose lacquer for a uniquely golden-age look, these are beautiful instruments whether you're a solo artist or part of an ensemble. The Loar archtop guitars are traditional in the best possible sense of the word: modern-day relics of the early 1920s that keep vintage tone alive and well on stages all over the world. What do you like best about The Loar guitars? Is it their classic design? Maybe the flawless craftsmanship or, of course, their completely unique tone and character? Whatever attracts you to these stunning instruments, you're on the right track. If you like the idea of a sound and playing experience that's a century strong, The Loar guitars are the way to go.

Groovy, baby.
The Padres, who have the worst 1B OPS in the majors at .480, have traded Kyle Blanks to the A's (2nd worst 1B OPS at .580) for Jake Goebbert and a PTBNL.5. Nasty Nate Posted: May 15, 2014 at 01:45 PM (#4707533)

edit: damnit, those look like sunglasses outside of BBTF...
I was wondering what that was.
In a corresponding move with the Blanks trade, the A's have DFA'd Daric Barton. Again. Wonder if they'll even offer the assignment back to Sacramento this time or just let him go (I believe he can also choose free agency at this point). The Blanks deal also isn't good news for Nate Freiman.8. Der-K should've known better than to fly on AA. Posted: May 15, 2014 at 02:37 PM (#4707593)
He can elect FA, yes.9. Jefferson Manship (Dan Lee) Posted: May 15, 2014 at 02:47 PM (#4707601)
Man, if I'm Daric Barton, I take whatever gets me more paychecks. Electing free agency would be disastrous, IMO.10. PreservedFish Posted: May 15, 2014 at 02:53 PM (#4707607)
I just can't imagine there's any kind of market for a 28-year-old first baseman who can't play anywhere else and has hit .216/.323/.284 since the beginning of the 2011 season.
The principals of two public schools acting as umpires were stoned and the majority of 600 schoolboy spectators engaged in a general fight during a riot started by a woman at a baseball game here yesterday.
Are Americans better behaved than they used to be? If this happened today it would spark a long national conversation.
Most evidence suggests that on the whole we are safer and less prone to violence than at any period in human history. Despite that we are also more likely to feel unsafe than we have in many years.
I liked Blanks, he should flourish in Oakland.13. Eric J can SABER all he wants to Posted: May 15, 2014 at 05:16 PM (#4707752)
The Game of May 14, 1984. For many players, this would be a career game; for Tim Raines, it was Monday.14. Eric J can SABER all he wants to Posted: May 15, 2014 at 06:51 PM (#4707805)
(All right, it was still a really good game by Raines's standards.)
In yesterday's best game, one of the starting pitchers didn't allow a hit after the first inning - and then his team pulled him, and everything went downhill very quickly.15. RMc's Got a Lot of Trouble at Stake Posted: May 15, 2014 at 09:24 PM (#4707867)
If you grew up in the 60s, 70s or 80s, when violent crime was skyrocketing, you probably just assume that crime is very, very bad. It's always been bad, it's getting worse, and there's nothing anybody can do about it. But actually, crime peaked in the early 90s and has been dropping ever since. The current US violent crime rate is about where it was in the late 60s.16. RMc's Got a Lot of Trouble at Stake Posted: May 15, 2014 at 11:55 PM (#4707933)
But, of course, there's the internet and twitter and about a dozen all-news channels that need content. So, it's SHOCK HORROR! all day every day. And that's why people feel unsafe.

If you try to umpire while stoned, even in 1914, there is likely to be trouble. - Brock Hanke

Right off the bat, Newman advises that we should "think of microservices as a specific approach for SOA in the same way that XP or Scrum are specific approaches for Agile Software development". These analogies are very interesting because my expectation was that microservices is a pattern. So I might infer that microservices is a set of process techniques as opposed to an architectural approach. Yet in the book, Newman clearly includes some elements of concept model and architecture as well as p...

Let's just nip the conflation of these terms in the bud, shall we?
"MIcro" is big these days. Both microservices and microsegmentation are having and will continue to have an impact on data center architecture, but not necessarily for the same reasons. There's a growing trend in which folks - particularly those with a network background - conflate the two and use them to mean the same thing.
They are not.
One is about the application. The other, the network. T...

Before becoming a developer, I was in the high school band. I played several brass instruments - including French horn and cornet - as well as keyboards in the jazz stage band. A musician and a nerd, what can I say? I even dabbled in writing music for the band. Okay, mostly I wrote arrangements of pop music, so the band could keep the crowd entertained during Friday night football games. What struck me then was that, to write parts for all the instruments - brass, woodwind, percussion, even k...

Mint with a Dash of Cinnamon
Since switching to using Linux as my primary desktop, I'm always curious as to what options are available to me besides my default go-to distro of Ubuntu.
While Ubuntu 12.04 (the LTS version) is one of the best desktop operating systems I've ever used, I've grown less enchanted with each subsequent release since then. Part of it comes from some of the choices made by the Ubuntu team (such as the tight integration with Amazon) and I can work around most of those, but I've had numerous stability issues with Unity that didn't really exist in the older releases.
When Debian wheezy came out, I decided to give it a shot as a desktop operating system. I've used Debian as a server O/S for over a decade, but the main thing that makes it great for servers, the cautious nature of changes and inherent stability, kind of suck for the desktop. I've discussed this with Eric, who is both a Debian user and a Debian committer, and his reply is to ask if you really need to have umpteen updates to firefox, etc. I can see his point, but if I'm using, say, Gnome, having access to the latest release can have a huge impact on the user experience.

Chew on this: Ubuntu Core Linux comes to the uCRobotics Bubblegum-96 board
Linux and other open source software have been in the news quite a bit lately. As more and more people are seeing, closed source is not the only way to make money. A company like Red Hat, for instance, is able to be profitable while focusing its business on open source. Ubuntu is one of the most popular Linux-based operating systems, and it is not hard to see why. Not only is it easy to use and adaptable to much hardware (such as SoC boards), but there is a ton of free support online from the Ubuntu user community too. Today, Canonical announces a special Ubuntu Core image for the uCRobotics Bubblegum-96 board.

'Prognosis is good' for John Lackey after second opinion
|04.09.13 at 9:26 pm ET
According to a team source, after undergoing a second opinion Monday the "prognosis is good" John Lackey regarding the starter's injured right biceps. The source did report, however, that the starter will likely miss his next turn in the rotation, which was originally scheduled for Friday against Tampa Bay.
Alfredo Aceves is a candidate to make a spot start, likely Sunday at Fenway against the Rays.
Red Sox manager John Farrell said Monday that no tear was detected in the biceps, which was injured in the fifth inning of Lackey's first start of the season. The initial diagnosis following Sunday's MRI was that there was inflammation in the biceps, but nothing more serious.
Farrell also surmised prior to his team's home opener that it was "unlikely" the righty would be able to make his next start without at least being pushed back.
For more from Farrell's Monday morning press conference, click here.

Christmas is Coming | December 22th · chylerleigh | Vicky's blog is what I call "a Grey's Anatomy" source here on tumblr. At least is mine GA source here. I haven't talked much with Vicky, BUT I adore her blog for ages now. The fact that she's a massive Lexie Grey/Slexie fan might had helped in that. Hihi.

Yo! The first ever official screenshot of Broats has finally surfaced!
Many thanks to CICFF for choosing to use a Broats image to cover the whole "Animal Antics" section of the film festival!
For those that don't know - I made a short called Broats at Nickelodeon last year. It's about 3 goat brothers who live in a mega-mall's petting zoo, and it will be premiering at the Chicago International Children's Film Festival next month!
I guess I'm allowed to say this, since the full list has been published online - Looks like my Nickelodeon short, Broats, was accepted into the Chicago International Children's Film Festival.
I'm super excited! Thanks for accepting it, CICFF! Thanks to Nickelodeon for entering it! If you're in Chicago, check it out!
Can't wait for people to get their first look at Broats! I hope they post a screenshot or something soon…
Christmas is Coming | December 5th · lestreep | I don't even know where to begin because Mihaela is one of the best person I've met here. I'm gonna skip the part when I talk about her amazing photoshop skills because I don't need to — go through her graphics tags and you will know why. Mihaela is helpful, kind, smart and by far one of the people you would love to know here on tumblr. She had helped me through a bad phase and I am grateful because of this. Go follow her right now.
Here's a clearer version of that Broats screenshot from CICFF's schedule PDF. Find the rest of the CICFF schedule at their website, here!
If you're in Chicago, go see it in person!
Christmas is Coming | December 13th · downeying | I don't really know Gen because I haven't talked (hopefully, yet) with her, but I quietly admire her blog everyday. If you check it you will understand why. I adore Gen's edit and she is another inspiration of mine — even though I'm far, far, far away to edit anything like her. Rethink of your life choices if you are not following downeying already.
Christmas is Coming | December 4th ·
j-dempsiejojenreeds| Lena is sassy. *snap* Also, she has some serious blend/color porn/textures issues because I seriously don't know how she does that. We united forces together because of Sansa baby. And I'm really happy about how much, if I could say, close we got over time. Aso, she likes Evanescence. She's already in a altar by my eyes.
Christmas is Coming | December 12th · brookedaviz | Bruna is lovely. You is kind. You is smart. You is important. And you can't forget that you was one the very person that make me really laugh here, alond with edddard. I'm so happy for having you beside me and I will never never ever unfollow you because I luv you. :3

Christmas is Coming | December 19th · earnshawss | I love Meg. I really do. She's the sweetest person I've met here. She's talented and she has a gr8 taste on everything. We're a Leighton team on our blog, and friends and tumblr world~. Unfortunately we haven't talked that much lately, but I assure you that nothing has changed because she is still my baby gurl.
Christmas is Coming | December 21th · myaurahasneverbeenpinker | Do you know that person that you had so much interaction with that somehow, in some point of those interactions you just can't help but want to have them close to you forever? That's Patty for me. Of course it was one more of those Sansa's situations, so yeah. She's awesome.
Christmas is Coming | December 2nd · xanis | I am such a fangirl of Sandra. I still fangirl everytime she reblogs something from me. She is effortless talented and she's incredible kind. I think that if you don't follow her, you seriously need to take a look at your choices.
Christmas is Coming | December 11th · milajovovichs | I have stalked Gabe in her last three (?!) blogs. If she goes away I start to miss her until I find her again. I admire everything about Gabe and its just sad if you don't follow her. (Plus, she's speaks french and I thought she lived in France but she doesn't?!?!!?!? Shame on me).
Christmas is Coming | December 1st · restarks | Me + Charizze = soulmates. You can tell that by our urls, ehehehe. She's funny, her blog is the definition of blog porn and we hate the same people. I'm happy to have her around. Plus, Charizze, I love you. ♥
Inspired by samsastark and his advent calendar, I'm gonna start sort of a meme/follow forever (yes, other) of mutual followers. The ideia, so as Sam's original one, is to make a graphic/post per day dedicated entirely to them.
Those are amazing people that somehow have touched me. They're my so called tumblr-friends and/or amazing bloggers and/or just an inspiration. It's a pleasure to have them in my dashboard everyday and you guys are the reasons why I like to stay up until 3am of a Saturday at home. ♥
PS.: Once I'm running five days late, I'm gonna cheat a bit and post five people in a day, but after that I'm gonna be posting a person per day.
PS 2.: This is absolutely out of order.

The Three Athenas and A Royal Flush at 516 Magnífico Artspace
By Steven Robert Allen
There's something serenely calming about the three towers Rachel Stevens has installed in the front chamber of 516 Magnífico Artspace. Suspended from long, white hooks, The Three Athenas stretch 24 feet from ceiling to floor, but they never quite make it all the way down, hovering just slightly, an inch or so above the floor. If you ask nicely, the gallery's administrators will even lift up the metal and fabric hoops and let you step inside so you can stare up into Athena's hollow interior, or out through the white mesh like a bird trapped in a cage.

Fox plays the clown Akira-me. Both move around in a lonely, post-apocalyptic world, bringing life to their layered, idiosyncratic, experimental allegory. Expect The History of Pantalone ... Before the End to be more Beckett than Barnum & Bailey. The show runs Fridays at 8 p.m. through Feb. 27. $10. 242-6367.

It's hard to write a good short story. Honestly, most of the short stories I read last year, whether in magazines or collections, left me stone cold bored. Many of them felt limp, calculated and wimpy. They read like they were written by talented writers who had spent more time in creative writing seminars trying to please their professors with cute sentences than in examining their own lives and the world around them.

Police kept busy over holiday period
Heathcote and Axedale police have been kept busy over the holiday period.January 10, 2013 4:11am
Heathcote and Axedale police have been kept busy over the holidays with many incidents in the district since the start of the year.
On January 1, two men were arrested at Eppalock Holiday Park after getting involved in a fight.
Heathcote police Sergeant John Olver said the two men would be charged on summons with unlawful assault, causing an affray and other allied assault offences.
On Friday, a Heathcote resident was cautioned for possession of cannabis and, a Mt Camel person was charged with dangerous driving on a private property.
On the weekend, district police caught and charged two drivers for driving while suspended and, also on Saturday, Axedale police caught a driver with a blood alcohol reading of 0.123.
The man was served with a Section 51 and his driver's licence immediately suspended.
Despite all the activity, Sgt Olver said so far the summer holiday season in the district had been positive.
''All in all the summer's been pretty good to us and the drivers have been kind,'' he said.
