Port Wakefield ambo numbers at

critical low

SA Ambulance Service is urgently seeking

people from Port Wakefield to volunteer their

time to train and provide ambulance services to

the local community. Colin Smith, SA

Ambulance Service regional team leader for

Adelaide Plains, said the ambulance station at

Port Wakefield only had five volunteer

ambulance officers. “Port Wakefield is only able

to provide a local crew two or three nights a

week. They don’t have enough team members,”

said Mr. Smith. “The current amount of

volunteers at Port Wakefield station is

unsustainable and therefore the station is at

risk of closing down because there aren’t

enough people to fill the roster. “While an

ambulance will always come when someone

calls triple-zero (000) for assistance, there may

be delays if there is no local crew available to

respond. Bronwyn Olsen, 54, has been a

volunteer ambulance officer at Port Wakefield

for nearly nine years and said there was a lot to

enjoy about volunteering, but it was hard with

so few people. “We’d like about three more

volunteers. That would help us out no end, it

would really take the pressure off,” said Ms

Olsen. “It’s very gratifying when you’ve been

able to help someone when they’re at their

most vulnerable.”

For more information about becoming an

ambulance volunteer, contact Colin Smith on

0418 851 769 or the SA Ambulance Service

volunteer recruitment hotline on 1800 655 306.

Where do pine nuts come from? There are two varieties of pine nut, the Mediterranean and the Chinese. The Mediterranean is more common in Australia. As the name suggests, pine nuts come from pine trees – the Mediterranean comes from the stone pine. The nut is located inside the cone. Pine nuts are relatively expensive because the cones have to be heated to release the nut – a labour-intensive process. Buy pine nuts in small quantities, as their high fat content causes them to go rancid quite quickly. Store in the fridge for 1 month or freeze for 6 months.

Working Bee at Tidal Pool

Many thanks to around 25 people who turned up to help clean around the tidal pool on Saturday morning. The area now looks fantastic and over time I'm sure we can get the bottom much cleaner. This area is definitely one of our towns biggest assets .... Thanks Vicki for cooking the BBQ while my car was bogged ...... Doh !!!

Know your Coffee Macchiato, which means ‘stained’ or ‘marked’, is espresso with a dash of warm milk.

Don’t forget to water your street trees With the warmer weather fast approaching it is time to consider your street trees.

We all require water in the hot weather and so do our street trees.

Happy Birthday was the first song to be

performed in outer space. It was sung by the Apollo IX astronauts on March 8, 1969. If a surgeon in Ancient Egypt lost a patient while performing an operation, his hands were cut off as punishment.
