Helping fill little Aussie tummies

By David Lee IT’S devastating to learn that statistics show that one in eight school children across Australia go to school hungry or go without lunch, but this is what stemmed locals, Lyndon Galea and Bernie McCarthy to create Eat Up Australia.

For the last four years, the need for the organisation’s services has grown so much that not only are nine schools on board locally, but 160 schools across the state take on the over 3,000 sandwiches that are made by volunteers to help fill little Aussie Continued on page 25 tummies.

Disengaged youths disrupting local businesses Arcade tenants fear for their lives

By David Lee SHEPPARTON’S Centrepoint Arcade has become the latest targeted hangout destination for a group of disengaged

youths, who are disrupting local businesses operating from the centre.

For the past month, business owners throughout the arcade on Maude Street have

been subjected to property damage, rubbish and food being thrown at shop fronts and had threats made against their lives by a group of youths aged under 16, and now the business owners are fed up.

FAMILY LEGACY RECOGNISED… Local transport legend, Arthur Kreskas (right) and his nephew, Cohn (left) representing his late father, George, were proud that both Arthur and George have been inducted into the National Road Transport Hall of Fame. Photo: Supplied.

Local transport legends inducted into Transport Hall of Fame

By David Lee T WO local legends in the transport industry have received top honours after being accepted into the National Road Transport Hall of Fame.

Arthur Kreskas and his late brother, George are a testament to the reputation of local transport business, Kreskas Bros Transport and the family.

Since 1968, Kreskas Bros Transport has been at the forefront of the transport and logistics industry, and has made a name for itself as being one of the largest regional road carrier companies into and out of the Port of Melbourne.

The business began with a simple motto; to treat its customers’ businesses like its own. In 1968, Arthur Kreskas began by carrying fresh fruit and vegetables between Shepparton and the Footscray Wholesale Fruit and Vegetable Market in Melbourne with a 1957 Dodge tray truck.

George and Arthur were in business with one another from 1945 until transport business was registered and they then worked together for 20 years before Arthur bought the business out in the 1980s.

Page 2 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1370 Wednesday, September 6, 2017

Today, the third generation; sons Les and John continue Arthur’s legacy and with the cooperative efforts of all their valued employees, continue to provide the best possible service to their clients, offering consistent service at the highest level and with the latest in equipment and innovation.

The operation has now expanded to a fleet of 37 trucks, employs approximately 80 full time staff and has become one of the largest carriers of import and export containers between Goulburn Valley and Port of Melbourne.

K re sk a s B ro s . Tra n sp or t genera l manager, Peter Hill said, “I think that Arthur and George are the last link to the real pioneers of transport in the region. Their efforts and commitment to the local area over many decades in both employing local people and supporting local businesses is certainly something that has had a profoundly positive impact on the industry and the region and it is great to see that these two have finally been recognised.”

New facility to advance skills and education of locals with disability MORE than 100 service users at Shepparton Access are set to benefit from newly developed initiatives of the organisation’s Eco Store and brand new Education Centre, with the official opening of the premises taking place last week.

The redevelopment of the Kittles Building next door to the current premises of Shepparton Access has provided a unique and exciting opportunity for Shepparton Access to expand our services to meet the emerging needs of people with disabilities in the community and to provide them with increased opportunities for education and support.

Shepparton Access CEO, Wendy Shanks said, “We had been very aware of the ever increasing demand for our services and the purchase of the building provided us with a unique opportunity to expand our Eco brand and significantly increase the opportunities for people with disability to become enrolled in further education.

“The two new initiatives were a slow and steady process. We had expended most of our available cash on the purchase of the building and so we sat down and developed a three year plan which involved being able to complete the works through income raised through the Eco Store.

“We would like to thank the Shepparton Club, Greater Shepparton Connected Community and Australia Post for their

very generous donations for the purchase of specialised technology.

“The two rooms in the education centre have been named to reflect the generosity, one being the Bendigo Room and one being the Club Room.

“Today our Eco Store has become a weekly shopping destination for many locals. Our education centre with specialised technology will meet the emerging requests from many school leavers to enrol in further education. The wide variety of courses will prepare each person with the ability to build on their knowledge and skills to become active members of the community and to gain and maintain employment.

“Our board and team, as well as our

service users, are all very proud of our achievements and we look forward to continuing to provide support and education to all those who choose Shepparton Access as their disability service provider.”

Federal Member for Murray, Damian Drum said, “This type of service is critical for people with disability in enabling them to gain access to the services they need to integrate into the community.

“The skills that the service users at Shepparton Access learn in the training rooms will be phenomenal. These are game changing kinds of skills.

“This is a great example of how we have to continue to step up and provide support for initiatives such as this.”

COUNCIL NOT TRANSPARENT Dear Editor, I write regarding ‘changes to the way you pay your rates!’ Is it any wonder council did not receive one submission regarding ‘changes to the way you pay you r rates.’ No mention of changes directing ratepayers to the draft budget, a document containing more than 100 pages (talk about a ‘hidden agenda’). How many ratepayers would be looking for changes to payment options or thinking along these lines?

The option for ratepayers to pay in full

by February 15 was no longer available!

Although the lump sum payment option has now been extended this year it is important people make their views known before the changes are re-introduced next year.

According to rates explained 2017/2018 interest will apply if payments are not met by due date with four instalments or by 10 monthly direct debit Instalments. I have been informed via the minister’s office the notice set-out in Greater Shepparton 2017/2018 ‘Your Rates Explained’ is ‘inconsistent with local government policies!’

Greater Shepparton City Council placed an article under council meeting wrap in the local media on Friday, April 21 under Draft Budget 2017/2018. The draft budget is now available for consultation

on council’s website or at councils’ office.

Submissions are required by 5pm, May 19, 2017 (still no mention or suggestion of changes to payments directing ratepayers to draft budget).

Draft Council Plan; council endorsed the Draft Council Plan 2017/2021 the council got input from the community through surveys and community focus groups held over the municipality the council will hold a special meeting Tuesday, June 6, 2017 at 5:30pm to hear any person wishing to be heard in support of their submission on any proposal contained in the Draft Council Plan 2017-2021.

Once again Greater Shepparton City C ou nci l h as not b e en t ra n spa rent informing ratepayers of changes nor are they communicating clearly with members of the public with their lack of notification around the changes and public consultation. Upon phoning the council, I was informed the changes were showing in the ‘Rating Strategy Policy’ (Page 18) not the draft budget!

DONATIONS CONTINUE TO ROLL IN… From left, local residents, Theodore, James, Ellis and Rachael Howard and John Head have just donated funds to the Shepparton Art Museum Foundation Tree of Giving to help toward the new Shepparton Art Museum. Photo: David Lee.

Spring brings new leaves to Greater Shepparton SPRING is in the air, and new leaves are appearing on the branches of dormant deciduous trees throughout Greater Shepparton. At the same time, the energy of spring is encouraging friends and supporters of the new Shepparton Art Museum (SAM) to get out and canvas donations to the building appeal, which is fast approaching its first reporting deadline.

Visitors to the museum in Welsford Street will have noticed new gold leaves springing out on the Giving Tree in the foyer, as individuals and families buy leaves to record their names as supporters and promoters of this exciting project. The leaves may be purchased at the museum shop, and given names are engraved on each one at the direction of the supporter.

When they come back from the engraving process, they can be placed on the tree in the spot chosen by the owner(s) of those

Page 10 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1370 Wednesday, September 6, 2017

leaves. The tree will be relocated to a prominent spot in the new SAM where the names of generous supporters will be recorded for as long as the building stands.

It is wonderful to see families buying leaves, engraved with two and three generations of the same family. The youngest names belong to children who will be able to proudly bring their own children and grandchildren to the museum in future years, to show that when lots of donations of relatively small amounts are made by hundreds of community members, they add up to a significant and citydefining building of which we can be very proud indeed.

Don’t miss this opportunity to have your family recorded as generous supporters of the most exciting community building project to happen in Shepparton for many decades.

Taking group fitness to a new level

By Nicholise Garner THROUGHOUT the years, if I were to be really honest, I’d have to say I’ve been a gym member more than a gym go-er.

I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that the F45 Training System is designed for people like me, making workouts more achievable and appealing than ever before.

F45 Training is a unique, new, Australian designed training system that’s taking the world by storm. Designed to take the thinking out of your workouts this system allows trainers to personally assist each and every team member as their workouts are guided by a series of monitors, alerting the group to count downs, upcoming breaks, and instructions to encourage users to complete each workstation.

Originally from the UK, Shepparton’s F45 Training business owners, Helen and Nik Payne are thrilled to have started the franchise here in Shepparton.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG‌ With spring now upon us, the change in weather can affect your health.

Can the change to spring affect your health?

AT this time of the year, the weather is predictably unpredictable. Summer is mostly hot and winter is mostly cold. But spring can be either, on successive days or even in the space of a few hours.

At least half of all adults claim to experience changes in their health with the changing weather, including more frequent

headaches, joint pain, tiredness and even catching more colds.

Of course colds are caused by viruses, not the weather, but as the air temperature and humidity changes around us, so does the feeling of stuffiness of our nose.

Even though the nose does not actually block, hotter and humid air will make it

Page 16 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1370 Wednesday, September 6, 2017

feel more congested, like when you are in the shower. But once you step out, the blast of colder less humid air makes the nose suddenly feel more open, creating that freshening sensation in our head. The same thing happens in reverse when we step from the air-conditioned, cool indoors into the humid heat outside, making our head feel stuffy.

People prone to headaches report more episodes in changeable spring weather than in summer or winter.

Our skin uses the ultraviolet radiation in sunlight to make vitamin D, which also has important vital functions for health and wellbeing.

Sunny weather also puts us closer to our comfort zone at around 20 degrees celsius when we neither need to sweat to keep cool

or move/shiver to keep warm. The hotter we get above this or the lower we go the less comfortable we feel. This plays on our emotions and the health that results from them.

Pollen and dust carried by spring northerly winds that whip them up act as an irritant to eyes, noses and lungs, especially, but not only, in those with allergies.

The moist air associated with seasonal thunderstorms can also concentrate and break up pollen and pollution into smaller particles which are more easily inhaled deep into the lungs and trigger asthma attacks. Warm and moist conditions also promote the release of fungal spores which can set off allergies in some people.

How spring cleaning can be good for your health SPRING is in the air and that means it is time to start thinking about spring cleaning. Whether you love it or hate it, spring cleaning actually has some benefits to your health and wellbeing, and can make a big difference in how you feel for the rest of the year.

Increases productivity Making the effort to de-clutter and organise your home or office can save you a lot of time looking for or replacing lost items in the future. Organisation experts say that this makes you more productive, while the cleaning process itself can increase energy levels.

Healthy A good spring clean can help you avoid allergy symptoms. Removing allergens from the home can make you feel healthier, especially at a time when allergies are rife.

Makes you happy Taking the time to thoroughly clean and maintain a tidy home makes people happier, studies have shown. The act of

cleaning provides a sense of satisfaction, which in turn can put you in a good mood.

Reduces stress Cleaning and organising your personal spaces lets you enjoy a tidier and more organised environment and this can relieve stress. Levels of stress can also be reduced during the act itself as cleaning is considered to be therapeutic.

Helps you focus Those who make a point of clearing out the clutter once in a while are able to free up the brain for more essential decisionmaking. A thorough clean helps to clear your mind of things that need to be done around the house and makes it easier to focus on other more important things.

Shepparton Home Central transforms into

Shepparton Home BRINGING LIFE TO CENTRE WALLS… Local artist, Jane Spencer has recently had 10 2.4m x 1.2m paintings installed on the walls at Shepparton Home on Benalla Road. Photo: David Lee.

SHEPPARTON Home formally known as Shepparton Home Central is located 3km from central Shepparton. The new name ‘Shepparton Home’ refers to the group of stores within that space and their relationship to all things home and family. Located across from the old Bunnings Warehouse site the centre is slowly transforming into a warm and friendly shopping district.

The centre is home to BCF, Early Settler, Fantastic Furniture, Focus Furniture, Godfreys, Pets Domain, Pillow Talk, Plush and Provincial Home Living. Within this outdoor centre you will find the latest

homewares to furnish or upgrade your home along with everything you’ll need for your pets, and for your boating, camping and fishing needs.

Recently the centre recently partnered with local artist Jane Spenser to showcase the communities offering through art. Jane designed 10 paintings at 2.4m x 1.2m to create a beautiful mural that is currently on display in centre. The images are a reflection on the community and the beautiful natural things our community is made up of.

Just as spring has sprung,

reenergise yourself

By Nicholise Garner THE recent death of author, Louise Hay ignited an office discussion on her teachings relating to the transformative power of thought. We sat around discussing our own beliefs and came to the shared opinion that thoughts produce energy, that in turn have an effect on ourselves and others.

Further to this, coincidentally, that day I met with Reconnecting Health & Harmony business owner, Lyndal Lancaster.

Lyndal’s studio space is calm and simple, relaxing and inviting and her demeanour is warm, open and genuine. She smiles and laughs easily and is very approachable… down to earth. I’d seen Lyndal before around town and knew she was in Shepparton Theatre Arts Group, but had no idea about her true passion and skills.

Lyndal told me, “Most people are aware of the physical effect of foods and substances they take in, but what people don’t seem to realise is that you are also what you think. Every thought impacts your body as it responds chemically, releasing stress hormones with negative emotions. What I do is known as Reconnective Healing and unlike counselling, there’s no need to talk about what’s troubling you or what’s happened in the past. I use energy to help release these emotions, restoring your body to peace and health.”

A CAR AS RARE AS HEN’S TEETH… Local resident, Heather Windsor with her 1980 Holden Gemini SL. Photos: Alicia Niglia.

A little gold mine

By David Lee IT’S not too often that you come across a 1980 Holden Gemini SL and that is why local residents, Heather and Chris Windsor call their perfectly restored Gemini a little gold mine.

But their Gemini has an interesting past.

It was originally in the hands of 92 year old local resident, Kevin Woodhouse, who was gifted the car as a retirement gift from his former employer, Ormond’s Garage.

Chris and Heather said, “They gave Kevin the car instead of a gold watch, which was customary when somebody retired.

“When we got it 18 months ago, it was pretty knocked about, but we have restored

Page 19 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1370 Wednesday, September 6, 2017

it to its original glory.

“The interior is original trim and in immaculate condition. It has its original headlight protectors and even had air conditioning fitted when it was given to Kevin, which you normally don’t see in a Gemini.

“After removing the dints and doing some panel work, mechanical work and having it resprayed to the original red colour, we took it around to Kevin’s to show him and he had a huge smile on his face. He said ‘my god it’s exactly like when I got it in 1981.’

“These cars are as rare as hen’s teeth. You can’t really find them anymore.”

SEPTEMBER DEMENTIA AWARENESS MONTH 2017

Help and assistance for dementia locally BREAKING THE STIGMA SURROUNDING DEMENTIA… GV Health senior clinical director, Dr Arup Battacharya who explained that there is a lot of stigma still surrounding dementia, but there are myths that need to be dispelled and there are services available locally to help those suffering from dementia, as well as their carers and families.

SEPTEMBER is Dementia Awareness Month, which helps to bring to the spotlight the latest advancements in treatment and assistance available for those with dementia as well as their families and carers.

The Adviser sat down with GV Health senior clinical director, Dr Arup Battacharya who explained that there is a lot of stigma still surrounding dementia, but there are myths that need to be dispelled and there are services available locally to help those suffering from dementia, as well as their carers and families.

“Dementia is starting to become a very common problem in the community and it is no longer regarded as exclusively a disease of the elderly. It is important to recognise that nearly a fifth of the dementia population is under 65 years of age,” Dr Battacharya said.

“Nearly 1,800 people a week are being diagnosed with dementia in Australia, but there is more to it than just the numbers who are diagnosed. Anybody who has come in contact with people with dementia will recognise what a huge toll it can take not only on the carers but on the families. You feel as if a loving father, husband, co-worker or friend has been snatched away.

“Dementia is not a normal part of ageing, which a lot of people tend to believe and there are some prevailing myths out there that we as a health facility should start to dispel. There are certainly more benefits in diagnosing and picking up dementia early and raising community awareness will ensure that near and dear ones or carers pick up early signs of dementia, because not only are there treatments that, although they can’t cure the disease, can help to slow down the

progression but also will help with planning and future care.

“When we talk about dementia, we commonly associate it with memory loss or frequent lapses of memory, but dementia is a global reduction of brain function and can include things like issues with language, names, recognition, not being able to do everyday things that they used to be able to do such as banking, looking after investments, and can see some changes in personality and behaviour.

“There are many services out there in the community, including help through Alzheimer’s Australia and the Alzheimer’s Australia Victorian chapter and also the dementia behaviour and management advisory service.

“If anybody is concerned about themselves or their near and dear ones they should observe any behaviour patterns and in the first instance, go and talk to your GP to find out more or perhaps start early treatment of symptoms.

Following a normal healthy lifestyle is important, such as physical activity. What is healthy for your heart is healthy for your head.

“The focus nationally this month is that ‘we are not alone’ when you are diagnosed with dementia. There is a lot of help out there and this certainly is not a normal part of ageing and shouldn’t be treated as such,” Dr Battacharya said.

Disengaged youths disrupting local businesses H continued from front page

THE arcade’s business owners, Craig Hopson, Chen, Tracey Viccer and Dianne and Dahyna Heenan spoke with The Adviser about how the youths have been terrorising them and scaring away customers. “’It starts with about five of them and it quickly grows to a group of about 15,” the business owners said.

“They have been terrorising us all. We’ve actually been physically pushed and had threats made against us that they are going to stab us and slit our throats.

“You never know whether something terrible is going to happen or not.

Arcade tenants fear for their lives

“We’re worried that the only thing that will get action on t h is is when it is too late and somebody gets hurt.

“We need to take a stand and stop this from happening.

“We’ve been to the police and we’ve been in touch with the real estates to try and get something done.

“We’ve been fighting for years to have adequate security installed but it’s taking too long for this issue to be fixed.”

Shepparton Police crime prevention officer,

Leading Senior Constable Glenn Gibson said, “Local police are working with the youth, Centrepoint Arcade tenants, landlords and management – and are committed to continue to do so until we achieve some traction for improvement.

“A n allegation of assault is being investigated after a recent confrontation between youth and another a tenant. No physical injuries were involved by either party.

No comment can be made regarding this investigation at this stage.

“Police are working with the arcade management to investigate improved security options. Police have offered assistance to landlords in considering these options.

“Police have responded to all calls to the arcade and also have additional tasked patrols to ease concerns of tenants.

“Police would prefer if involved parties did not confront each other but worked with the arcade management and police to reduce any risks of further harm to individuals and property.

“Any community information about the youth involved can be provided to Crimestoppers via www.crimestoppersvic. com.au”

SPC’s first ever Australian-grown canned cherry tomatoes KNOWN as the home of ‘Aussie-grown’ tomatoes, SPC is expanding its popular range with the introduction of Australian-grown, Ardmona canned cherry tomatoes onto supermarket shelves.

Working with Australian growers in the Goulburn Valley, the launch of the Ardmona Cherry Tomatoes signifies a first for the industry, as Australians previously had access only to imported canned cherry tomato products.

The Ardmona Cherry Tomatoes are launching in IGA stores nationally. They are available on shelves at Richies Supa IGA and will be available at all other leading independent supermarkets.

Ritchies SUPA IGA CEO, Fred Harrison, says that the introduction of the Ardmona Cherry Tomatoes marks a bold new step for the Australian food industry.

“Canned cherry tomatoes from Australia have been missing

from shelves until now. We can finally give Australians the option to buy a home-grown product that tastes great and supports local growers.

“We’re especially proud to be first to market in Australia to stock the Ardmona Cherry Tomatoes. It’s a great sign of SPC’s commitment to supporting the Australian food industry – including g r ow e r s and retailers,” Harrison said.

Space Centre in SA NA S… AR TO THE ST

From

Alaska to San Francisco

FOR some time, Shane O’Keefe and his wife, Yvonne had wanted to cruise the inside passage in Alaska and with Yvonne having friends living in Vancouver, the stepping off point for the cruise, it was an excellent opportunity to do both.

Arriving in Vancouver they spent two nights and met up with their friends and toured the city using the hop-on-hop-off bus. Shane says it’s a great way to get around.

The next day they bordered their ship, the Star Princess, to begin a seven day cruise of the inside passage. Their first stop was

RA IL FUN… White Pass

Railway in Skagway Alaska .

Ketchikan. There was a lot to do so Shane went sea kayaking and Yvonne visited a cultural village.

Shane says the sea kayaking was great. It was cold. Only seven degrees, but there was no wind and the sighting of seals and eagles really made it an adventure.

Juneau was next and they had wanted to fly over the huge glacier there but the weather had closed in so instead they took a bus trip up to the glacier.

Arriving at the tourist centre, there was a large crowd gathered and the centre of attention was a bear and her three cubs.

The rangers were trying to keep everyone back as bears can be very dangerous but the cameras were out clicking away at the mum and cubs. It was a really great photo opportunity.

Back in Juneau they heard there was a band playing at a local venue. It was the Alaska String Band; Shane and Yvonne had seen them on a tour of Australia and it was great to see them again on home soil and enjoy the bluegrass music.

They then sailed on to Skagway from where they took the train up on to White Pass; the old gold mining fields. It was snowing and cold and on the way down they stopped to go gold panning. The water had been warmed so it was not too cold for the tourist’s hands.

They panned and everyone found gold.

The assay office said their gold was worth $35 so they bought a necklace to place the gold in.

Now it was two days of cruising as they sailed Glacier Bay and Prince William Sound.

The glacier had been calving huge slabs of ice off its face into the icy waters. As the icebergs floated by their ship stopped in front of the glacier to let everyone experience the silence of it all.

The Star Princess caters to 2,500 passengers and has a staff of 800. Shane and Yvonne found it wonderful. They had a balcony cabin and the views as they sailed along were incredible; so was the food on-board, and the entertainment.

The cruise had come to an end and so they took a train to Whittier in the Denali National Park. The train had glass sides so the view spectacular.

At Talkeetna they stayed in a lodge owned

by Princess Cruises and took a jet boat ride on the river and visited an Indian village.

Page 23 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1370 Wednesday, September 6, 2017

The next day they moved on to another lodge and took a trip into the Denali National Park. They came across caribou and moose and as they were admiring the animals it began to softly snow. It was a beautiful feeling seeing nature at its best.

Their next stop was another lodge, but this time it was at Fairbanks where they took a riverboat ride on the Chena River. They were out in the wilderness and houses on the river had floatplanes to get around.

It was now time to leave Alaska and head for the USA. They flew to Houston in Texas where they hired a RV or motor home.

They took time to visit the space centre at Houston. The displays were excellent with many craft that had returned from space.

They then took a trolley bus tour of the space centre where they visited mission control. It was just like you see it on television and it was great.

Shane and Yvonne travelled to New Orleans. Yes, they enjoyed Bourbon Street, the Mississippi River and the site of the war in 1812 between the British and the Americans.

At that time the American side had white Americans and African Americans and river pirates who fought side-by-side against the British and won.

They toured a plantation mansion and saw the plantation’s basic accommodation for the slaves. From there it was onto Memphis and a must do is a visit to Graceland’s and enjoy the memories of Elvis.

They toured Graceland’s and saw the cemetery where the family along with Elvis is buried. Later they took a tour of the recording studios where it all began.

On the final leg of their journey they flew to Las Vegas. The casinos were very impressive. It was 45 degrees on the day they visited the Grand Canyon. It was hot in the desert, but the next day it reached a sweltering 47 degrees, so it was time to stay indoors in the air-conditioner of the casinos.

Finally they visited San Francisco. Another hop-on-hop-off bus tour to Fisherman’s Wharf and then across the Golden Gate Bridge and of course a tour out to Alcatraz.

Back home, Shane and Yvonne have great memories and lots of photos to enjoy. They would like to thank Lauren at Lyn McNaught Travel in Mooroopna for arranging everything.

Until next time, Safe Travel’n.

Geoff Vallance.

AN IMPORTANT CAUSE… For the last four years an organisation started by locals, Eat Up Australia, has grown across the state, and recently they engaged year 9 students from Goulburn Valley Grammar to help them make some sandwiches for the important cause. Photo: Supplied.

Helping fill little Aussie tummies continued from front page In fact, in Melbourne, Eat up Australia has had the likes of big banks, media outlets, sporting clubs such as the AFL and even professional fighters from the UFC volunteer their time to make sandwiches for the cause.

Eat Up Australia local leader, Bernie McCarthy said, “In 2013 Lyndon saw an article in the paper about teachers talking about how the children aren’t being provided with lunch or are forgetting their lunch.

“He decided to grab some fruit and make some sandwiches and drop them off at schools. He gave me a call and asked if I wanted to lend a hand and I thought it was such a great way to give back.

“The need is definitely there, which is shown through how many schools are now on board.

“It’s a serious problem for the kids, so it’s nice to be able to do something to help.

“We recently held a sandwich making session at Goulburn Valley Grammar where year 9 students helped make over 400 sandwiches. It’s good for the kids to learn that there are others out there that are less fortunate and can help to do something about it.

“We generally deliver the sandwiches at the start of the school term and mid term, and we’re always happy if others which to come on board and lend a hand.”

Then there were three IT CERTAINLY looks like how far the Kyabram Bombers are at after last week but Seymour come into this game chock full of confidence. Kyle Mueller was on fire last week and is one example of how many options the Bombers have. Big Jake Reeves, Liam Ogden and Sam Sheldon were also great last week and Kyabram have plenty of back up. The Lions were a bit slow to start last week but hit top gear with a 13 goal second half and now have the double chance. Jake Anderson with six goals, Ben Clifton and Brandyn

Grenfell were on fire. The Bombers will book a ticket to this year’s grand final in this game.

The first Semi Final between Shepparton and Rochester could be the final of the final series. The Bears are coming off a reasonable showing against the mighty Ky Bombers but that result was predicted. The Tigers were very impressive against Euroa and are looking like a genuine challenger now. This one will go down to the wire but the Bears will have their noses in front at the final siren.
