Mr Wally AWOL and Friends Mr Wally AWOL and Friends is an Isle of Wight (Cowes based) self funded voluntary organisation which rescues and rehabilitates Wild Birds. It is run by Kay Ounsworth, with help from Donna Henderson, Tracy Lane and Leah Ounsworth. Their aim is to help sick and injured birds back to peak health and get them returned back into the wild once this has been accomplished. They work closely with a fantastic team of veterinary surgeons. If you spot a sick or injured bird, the best course of action is to:

News Report from Councillor George Cameron Email:- george.cameron@iow.gov.uk - Mobile 07701011481 I would like to thank everyone who voted for me in this election, I am honoured and I will do my best for all residents in Freshwater North. What makes this so interesting is that I think I am right by saying that I am the only Councillor who stood and was successfully elected in the three wards of Freshwater North, Freshwater South and Totland, this gives me great pride and in the last four years I have taken up and dealt with issues on behalf of residents in an unofficial capacity. As many of you may be aware, I have been a Freshwater Parish councillor since 2003 and I think our Parish Council is the most progressive and active council on the Island and the work they have done in the past is evident when walking around the area. We can be proud of them. A little information about the area of Freshwater North Ward: I am sure you will find this information interesting. Freshwater North is a ward within the West Wight cluster. It has a population of 2,484. Of the five wards in the cluster Freshwater north’s population density is ranked number two and of the 39 wards on the Isle of Wight it is ranked 27 with 4.75 persons per hectare. The mean age of the population in the ward is 51 years. This compares with a mean age of 44 years on the Isle of Wight, and 39 years for England. I attended West Wight Sports and Community Centre’s the first Community Support Celebration at the end of May, this 4
scheme was launched a year ago and if you can spare £1.00 per week please join the scheme, it is well worth it and I congratulate the staff and volunteers for all their hard work. Details of the scheme are available at the front desk at the Sports Centre or phone 752168 or on line at info@westwight.org.uk. I was very disappointed to learn that the Council introduced a ban on trailers over 1.8 meters long at Afton recycling centre. I have had numerous calls of complaints about the effect this decision would have on our local community but fortunately following discussions with waste contractor Amey, the council has said vehicles and trailers with a combined length of 7.7m — approximately 25ft — or less can continue to use the facilities as usual, regardless of the length of the trailer. I thank my fellow West Wight Councillors for lobbying with me on this issue. Parish Council News: As a Parish Councillor I can report that the installation of new play equipment at the Stroud is well underway. The new swing was installed on 12th June and the remaining items (zip wire, roundabout and additional swing) will be installed around the middle of July in time for the school holidays. This is a valued investment for our community to enjoy

A lot has been happening at the Friends of St Mary’s Hospital since our last update. We had a record number of applications in 2016 for funds for equipment and resources from various parts of the Hospital We were able to make a large number of grants which will enhance the already excellent care and service we Islanders get from St Mary’s. The items have been ordered and are coming into use daily. Examples of what we were able to provide are monitoring equipment for community midwives, traction splints, transfer hoists for stroke patients, warming equipment for hypothermia cases dealt with by ambulances, dementia friendly crockery, and learning resources for children with special needs. We also looked after our staff with some exercise equipment and refurbishing a rest room. We have taken the opportunity to give a fresh look to our branding and have launched a new website. Check it out at www.fosmiow.co.uk. We are now communicating regularly on Facebook and gradually building up a healthy following there. It is important to let people know what we are doing for the Hospital and how they can help us to do it. Our amazing volunteers are running our friendly cafe and well stocked shop in the Hospital foyer. And we now have an outlet in the Health and Wellbeing Centre in Ryde. With the Laidlaw cafe and the daily ward trolley, that gives us five outlets to look after so if you have some time to spare to volunteer, please do contact us through the website or ring our office on 534405.
At a cost of £3,000, the Friends have provided 20 traction splints for the ambulances, to be used to relieve excruciating pain from certain leg fractures. Paramedic Mike Wigley (pictured) explained that essential pre-hospital treatment for someone suffering a mid-shaft femur fracture is to relieve the pain through a combination of pain relief and splintage.
Although legacies and donations are very important to us, our cafes and shop are our main source of income, and we do see these facilities as being a very important part of our service to the hospital. The coffee and tea is good and reasonably priced and there is a range of sandwiches and snacks. We have “Splintage is particularly important, as joined the Hospital initiative to promote less separating the fracture bone fragments sugary food and drinks and our customers are provides significant pain relief and reassurgetting used to that. Our lovely staff have a ance for the patient,” he said. “If a bone is caring attitude and always reach out to those shattered in half the leg muscles immediately in the cafe who are struggling. This is not pull the bones together, and it really hurts.” always physically, as inevitably we meet many people who have had bad news or who are worried about a loved one. We work closely with the Hospital to make sure that our funds really do make a difference to patients, staff and the Island community and we enjoy great support from the Trust, to help us to help them. So if you can help us in any way, do get in touch via the website or by ringing the number above. We would love to hear from you. 6
