PINE KNOLL SHORES EMS SQUAD #65 PKS EMS #65 held its monthly meeting on January 2, 1996 at 7:00 PM at the Town Hall. We welcomed Emily White, our newly elected Commissioner for Emergency Services. Retired EMT-D, Gil Millington, was present. He shared words of appreciation with the squad, regarding the valuable asset EMS squads are throughout the county. Joan and Fred Libby were thanked for their planning of the Christmas Party The Squad recognized Kathy Trommer for the efficient job she does as Education Officer and Record Keeper. Carteret General Hospital Director, Dr. Bell, audited our records and gave them his approval. The Squad reviewed and approved the newest By-Laws Revision. The changes were presented to the Board of Commissioners for official acceptance at their January Meeting. The Squad has been informed that its application for a matching grant has been approved by the State. A committee, headed by Ted Lindblad, has been formed to recommend the purchase of an ambulance. The vehicle must be delivered by the end of April, 1996. The EMS and Fire Department had a joint meeting on January 4th to exchange ideas and make plans for joint training. New EMT Trainees: Marilyn and Andy Smetana. The Squad answered 10 calls in December. Remember...Call 911 and we will be there!!! Teddy Wimberley, Chief. PKS SWEATSHIRTS, POLO SHIRTS, AND CAPS ARE STILL AVAILABLE FOR SALE AT THE TOWN HALL. The PKS Fire Department and EMS Squad again remind you to be aware of the vehicle access to your home in case of an emergency requiring the services of our fire engines or ambulances. They estimate that tliey should have a vehicle clearance of 13- 16' high and 10' wide. Also, we would remind residents again that it is mandatory, and most important for your protection, that the numerical street address assigned by the town shall be posted on the structure or upon the lot upon which the structure is located. Attention to both of these items could mean a saving of valuable time if there should be an emergency at your residence. PINE KNOLL SHORES CARDEN CLUB The PKS Garden Club met January 10th. The speaker was Ms. Jeannie Kraus from the NC^B Maritime Museum in Beaufort. She talked on ^ "Mushrooms." She showed slides and examples of several kinds of mushrooms. Many kinds of mushrooms, particulariy in the South, are poisonous, so don't eat just anything! Jean takes groups on walking tours to look for and identify different varieties. Julia Woolard reported on the Christmas Eve luminaria project. The boat basins were "beautiful," but participation in other areas was sporadic. It was suggested that perhaps Garden Club might light just the basins next year. On Christmas Eve, Fred and Joan Libby and others, lit 164 candles in plastic milk bottles. It was spectacular. Plastic bottles are safer. The club would welcome input from citizens, since this has been a community project. Share your ideas with any Garden Club member. When planning flowers and planting, don't forget the Garden Club's yeariy plant sale will be in mid-April. 2
