Do you like to keep fit or play sport and why?

Deidre Bennett, OPSM says; “I do as I believe it is very important for mental health, as well as the social side of it. It gives you a sense of community by helping or contributing. Organised sport also bring lots of business to town.”

Ethan Dunn, Batt’s Music Centre says; “Yes I do, although I don’t play sport, I like to keep fit by running. I believe it will keep me healthy and help me live longer!”

Sina Karimi, Volunteer says; “Yes of course. Doing sport connects me to my inner spirit because when we exercise we become happier, and that reaches every atom in our body to enrich it. When I play basketball it gives me a great feeling of happiness.”

 

What do you think of the new 3 bin waste collection system?

Susan Hocking, EWS Electrical says; “It is not good. The red bin does not make sense. If people put nappies in it for instance and it is only collected fortnightly, it will get very smelly.”

Steve Fulmer, Pensioner says; “There was not enough consultation with the NSW Health Department. The red bin should be collected once per week, especially if there are nappies in it as it would create a stink like you won’t believe.

Jaymie Wheeldon, La Bella Medispa says; “At first I hated it. Once I understood why it is being done, I thought it would be good to encourage people to recycle more.”
