Healthy Food for Sport

improve healthy ea ng and reduce sugary drinks consump on.”

The DFNC had always provided toas es, soups, and casseroles, for the Thursday night players and on Game Days but now with healthier ingredients.

The program is not about disrespec ng anyone’s food choice but to provide tasty, healthier alterna ves.

Hmenu as The Victorian Government’s Healthy Loddon Campaspe and Vic Kids Eat Well ini a ves along with the Central Goldfields Shire have been working with our Dunolly Football and Netball Club (DFNC) to support healthy food op ons at their canteens.

Dunolly’s Football Netball Club spearheads the ini a ve this spor ng season, with the program providing DFNC with muchneeded small-scale kitchen equipment such as a sandwich press, display fridges, slow cookers, and air fryers to enable healthy food prepara on. In addi on, new menu boards and signage being developed will soon be available.

Tarr said the data from the 2019 Ac ve Living Census highlighted concerns regarding Loddon Campaspe residents not consuming enough of the foods and drinks needed for good health and wellbeing.

“Less than half (48%) of residents across the Loddon Campaspe region meet the recommended intake of fruits, just 13% meet the recommended intake of vegetables, 14% consume sugarsweetened beverages daily, and two-thirds of the popula on are overweight or obese.

“Our aim through the ‘Healthy Sports Clubs’ project is to support local spor ng clubs to offer healthy food and drinks which in turn aims to reduce obesity,

Central Goldfields Shire Healthy Kids Advisor Ciel Lindley said We’re not asking clubs to take the Chips or Pies away but maybe air-fry the chips for a healthier op on. Kids who come to the Canteen a er Sports Prac ce –that’s usually their Dinner for the night. Most children don’t have independence when making food choices so we provide delicious, seasonal op ons – Veggie Forward and Healthy. It’s about crea ng a good rela onship with Food, for Life.”

Natalie Conlin, DFNC Secretary and Canteen Manager said “We feed 60-65 kids, some mes 80 people so the new equipment makes a huge difference.”

The program also looks to work with community centres, volunteers to shi the a tudes towards healthier food.

“Don’t fear the colour Green! It’s about Educa on, if the kids try it, the parents may follow.” says Central Goldfields Shire Mayor Grace La Vella. “

No ced an ad on the TV the other night giving the business address as Princes Higway

I reckon the firm would be REALLY happy about that typo, as it would have cost a bit to get an ad on.

Niece Ramble and I took a short break in Colac at the weekend. All went well on Friday, cold and windy but the rain held off, so it was not too bad being outside. Went back to the B and B for tea, watched the cricket un l a er 11, then I went to have a shower.

The house had been done up fairly recently and the first bathroom is large.

Had my shower, then went to clean my teeth at the basin. I turned on the mixer, moved the tap to one side and it fell off.

I was right in the line of fire as the high-pressure water flew out and I had an unwanted cold wash and hair wash.

Before I got over the shock and turned the mixer off, the water had hit the big glass shower screen and was deflected upwards.

Just as well everything was led because the floor, ceiling and all fixtures got a wash down.

Niece managed to find a broom and mop bucket and sopped up the water while I stood around in my saturated nightwear dripping all over the passage floor.

No real harm done, except to one's dignity. All this happened at 11.30pm. I have been saying that mayhem and chaos follows me.

We followed the GPS down and back to avoid Ballarat and saw a lot of new (to us) territory, including ge ng quite close to the wind turbines at Waubra. They are huge!

Bealiba Bowls

The bowling of late has been first class and this week was no excep on. One game was decided by the closest of margins, one point.

Congratula ons to the team of Malcolm Campbell & Gary McClelland with two wins & a draw, just edging out the team of Shirley Coburn & Chris Evans on two wins.

Bowlers are reminded that if they wish to a end the social day at St Arnaud on Sunday June 25th, they need to have names in by Thursday 22nd June.

Don’t forget next week is supper night. Happy Bowling!
