A TOUCHING STORY
I don't usually get emotional on stories, but the Mercury story on Kayla Sterchow ‘Just treat us right’ (Illawarra Mercury, May 19, 2017) really touched my heart _ a refreshing change.

Bullying and rejection by school students mainly by not recognising a cry for help and the symptoms of Autism, subjecting the student to embarrassment and loss of self confidence.
As a Rotarian- the Dapto Rotary Club fully endorses the Dapto High School Autism Support Unit which produces an amazing start for people like Kayla, which allows them to restore their confidence and rebuild their lives.

THANKS FOR DONATIONS
On behalf of the Leukaemia Foundation, I would like to say a big thank you to readers for their incredible support of World’s Greatest Shave this year.
The extraordinary people who shaved or coloured and their generous sponsors have now raised an incredible $4,920,000 in NSW alone, helping to fund projects that will make a genuine difference to local families facing blood cancer.
The money will now be used to provide safe and comfortable accommodation in the city for families living in regional NSW so they can more easily access life-saving treatment.
It also means we can offer free transport, counselling, information and practical support to the 60,000 Australians living with a blood cancer.
Meanwhile, researchers funded by our supporters are working tirelessly to discover safer and more effective treatments.
Although their critical research is improving survival rates, sadly an Australian still loses their life to blood cancer every two hours.
But thanks to those taking part in World’s Greatest Shave, we are well on our way to reaching our goal of $5.6 million in NSW.
There is still time for people to sign up or make a donation at www.worldsgreatestshave.com.au.
Thanks to you, the Leukaemia Foundation will be able to help more Australians with leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and related disorders survive and live a better quality of life.
Bill Petch, CEO - Leukaemia Foundation
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
I wonder who is responsible for the all the cars for sale on the Princes Highway at Dapto opposite the Highway Fruit Market just outside St Aiden’s Anglican Church.
Are they on church property, or is council responsible for policing this?
I’ve noticed the build-up of used cars for sale on this verge for the past two or three years, and I wonder why it has been tolerated for so long?
What are the regulations concerning this?

A LITTLE HYPOCRITICAL?
President Trump flies to Saudi Arabia to sign contracts for billions of dollars of weapons which will be used in the Middle East to further US/Zionist agendas
And then calls the Manchester bombers a loser
One wonders how many losers there will be before the US is through pushing a greater Israel and petrodollar agenda in the Middle East
Seven countries in five years is their aim
They have bombed six. Iran is the last on the list.
Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Syria.
And those troops are there to stay.
They’re not coming coming home.
It's a corporate takeover.
The US today is the biggest terrorist organization in the world.
One wonders how much longer they can get away with this game of death.
