New Photocopier for Newsletter
Port Wakefield Community Newsletter committee has purchased a new photocopier for printing the newsletter. The committee raised the funds through fund raising, donation from the Port Wakefield Community Management Committee and a Wakefield Regional Council Community Benefit grant. Although the photocopier prints in colour the newsletter will continue to be printed in black and white due to costing constraints.

will be the last for 2017. Printing will resume Wednesday 17th January 2018.

Lost: On Sunday 19th November,
somewhere in the vicinity of Company Street to Burra Street intersection, a CHAIN NECKLACE WITH BLUE STONE. This is of sentimental value as it belonged to Heather’s late daughter, so the return if found would be much appreciated. If found it could be returned to Margaret (Opposite the old croquet court) or Diana (Corner of Company and Burra Streets), who will see that it is returned to Heather.
Please keep an eye out for this necklace if
you are walking on this street, Your help will be very much appreciated, With thanks, Diana 88671045

Napoleon Bonaparte was not particularly short – at 168cm, he was of average height for his time.
Getting your own back A middle-aged woman is in her birthday suit, trampolining enthusiastically on her bed, giggling and humming with wild abandon. Her husband walks into the room and sees her. He watches her a while, then remarks, ‘You look absurd! What on earth do you think you’re doing? She announces, ‘I just had a medical exam and my doctor says I have the breasts of an eighteen year old.’ She starts throwing herself about the bed again, trilling songs for all she’s worth. He snorts. ‘Yeah, right. And what did he say about your ass?’ ‘Your name never came up,’ she retorts.

Andrew Ettingshausen and his film crew went fishing with Bart Butson and Shaun Martin on Monday the 13th November. Chef Bec Stubbs came along as well, for the purpose of finding out how the fish are caught and prepared for delivery to the restaurants. Justin Ciccollela and Gary Brown assisted the filming on the day by providing a second boat for the film crew. The day was filmed so that it could be made into one of ETs seafood adventure programs that are produced to promote Australia’s fishing industry. The program should air nationally on channel 10 in late December to mid-January.

She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of sh….!
