Speaker 2: times over the years and Manuel's always been so accommodating.

39
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: He takes you into his office and he sits down

40
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,279
Speaker 2: and has a chat to you, and he tells you everything,

41
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,400

00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: you know, some really important information for the people of

45
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: Fanny Bay and around that area where there's been issues

46
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: of crime, there's been different issues that have unfolded, and

47
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: he is somebody who's always stood up for his community.

48
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: Absolutely. I went in and see him yesterday and had

49
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: a quick chat to him and I sort of said

50
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: to him, how are you feeling about everything? And he said,

51
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: he goes, you know, I'm a little bit sad. But

52
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: then he went on to talk about how he feels

53
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: like he's leaving the shop in a really good place.

54
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: He said, he feels like the area in and around

55
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: Fanny Bay has settled down a little bit recently, so

56
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 2: he's feeling really comfortable. His staff are all staying on

57
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 2: which is really amazing here. So he's feeling a little

58
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: bit sad, But I think this would be really good

59
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,720

60
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,760

00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: put some flyers out to the Fanny Bay community and

78
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,240

Speaker 2: So hopefully we get few people down there. When we

83
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: were delivering some fliers, a lot of people didn't know

84
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: that he was leaving, so they were really happy to

85
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 2: sort of get the notification to come down and say

86
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: thank you. He's done a lot for the community.

87
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:29,839
Speaker 3: What time do they need to be there?

88
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: Five till about six thirty? Will chuck on the sausages.

89
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: M So, yeah, if anybody wants to come down from

90
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,520

Speaker 1: a wonderful family, and they do a lot to support

97
