It’s DonateLife Week commencing Sunday 31 July, which is all about organ donation. Statistics show that the majority of Australians support organ and tissue donation, but only 33% of adults have actually registered and joined the national database. Registration is important, as it leaves your family with no doubt that you wish to donate organs that can save other lives. 707 Australians have received life-saving transplants since January this year.

YOUNG RURAL AMBASSADOR’S PLAN TO RETURN

Monday, 25 July 2016 10:10

This year’s South Australia Young Rural Ambassador Award winners have been announced, and both young ladies plan to finish their university studies in the future, then head straight back to the bush. Caitlyn Marshall, aged 19, is from Coonalpyn and is studying her first year of speech pathology in Adelaide. Caitlyn has a passion for rural healthcare and said she sees how difficult it is for some people living in rural areas to access specialist healthcare and services. Georgie Beighton, aged 18, comes from Penola, and next year she’ll start Veterinary Science in Wagga. Georgie is working in the cattle industry during this gap year in her studies, and is also involved in cattle showing. She said it’s sad that a lot of people her age don’t have an interest in farming, and more young people are needed to work in the industry.

BOOL LAGOON WATERS RISING

Monday, 25 July 2016 10:10

Water has started to flow again into the Bool Lagoon Game Reserve, in Naracoorte. Some decent rainfall levels lately have contributed to the rise, and Naracoorte Lucindale council’s Director of Operations Steve Bourne says that we could see the lagoon fill completely if rain continues. Many hundreds of magpie geese and swans are apparently migrating back to the game reserve as a result.

PENOLA RATES HIGH IN ON-LINE SHOPPING FIGURES

Monday, 25 July 2016 10:09

Australia Post reports that the town of Penola’s online fashion purchases are growing by 39% each year, and the town is in the top four fastest growing locations in South Australia that purchase fashion items on line. Despite this trend, and the large volumes of parcels being delivered to Penola addresses every day, Penola Post Office’s Bev Banks believes that most people do look locally for items before going on-line and “adding to cart”. Bev said that people are wanting to support local businesses because they want the town to thrive, however if they can’t find what they’re after in town, they do shop in the bigger towns, or hop on-line, letting google and pay-pal help them shop.
