The plants are grown at waist height in coir (macerated coconut fibre), which supports the roots and soaks up the irrigation and liquid fertilizer, the dosage and timing of which are computer controlled via sensors in the coir. The water supply comes from Hatchet Pond, which is slightly acidic and ideal for strawberry plants. Waterside Probus Club would like to thank the farm owner for personally taking the time to tell members all about his high-tech business. The club, which is for retired and semi-retired professional and business men, meets monthly at Dibden Golf Centre; for further information, contact secretary John North on In July the choir from Hythe Primary School went to London to sing at the Royal Albert Hall in the Barnardo s Young Supporters Concert, along with 45 other schools from across the United Kingdom.

AduLt Winner news from Home by Claire Buckley These people do not know my news. Yet they seem to understand. From behind their closed Iberian doors comes a rhythm that sinks beneath my skin. Their voices cry into the night like quail beneath the grass when dust-clouds rise up from the dunes. Their wail ascends, their heels punch the floor, they stop and stamp until the lone guitar comes to a cadence. Outside, the streets of sand are silent. Nothing stirs save one white horse, its halter tethered to a wooden bar, its tail swishing, swiping at a passing gnat. Two steps rise to a boardwalk, the surface bare and lifeless. So now I turn towards the cross that stands upon the shore where black-winged stilts pick and stab at worms along the edge.

Fawley s Front Line A Century of Firefighting and Rescue is not only a detailed account of the Waterside s private and military fire brigades during the 20th and early 21st century, but also a tribute to the bravery of those involved. With its massive petro-chemical complex, Fawley is potentially one of the most at-risk locations in the UK, so the fire service is vital to the area s infrastructure with its crews being ever ready to go into action. Roger s well illustrated book is the result of painstaking research and includes much previously unpublished information and images. This book will appeal to fire fighters past and present, local historians, current and former employees at the refinery, and local residents. Fawley s Front Line by Roger Hansford is published at by The History Press (ISBN ) and is on sale at The Herald office in Hythe. Roger will be holding a book signing session at The Herald on Saturday 30th August from 10.30am to 12.30pm. The Herald and Roger Hansford have agreed to make the occasion an opportunity to show support for our firefighters; The Herald will donate 1, from the price of each book sold on the day, to the Firefighters Charity and the author is to make a donation to the charity. 7th August 2014 The HERALD Page 5 HAnnAH S electrics A trusted tradeswoman with sensible rates Competent, Reliable Female Electrician covering Southampton, New Forest & Waterside areas Qualified to 17th Edition Wiring Regulations Installation of Light Fittings, Switches or Sockets from 30 Domestic Telephone Wiring & Extensions SpeCiAL offer - Led down LiGHtS For a free electrical quotation call e: hanabaker1594@hotmail.com Domestic Services NOW OFFER PROFESSIONAL CARPET CLEANING!

The exhibition, which was officially opened by Janice Taylor from The Herald, featured a varied selection of Gervase s watercolours, prints, art cards and his recent book A Lifetime in Postcards. The artist is, perhaps, best known for his iconic scenes of the local area, but visitors to this exhibition were also given the chance to see some of his paintings inspired by travel overseas, which captured the mood and climate of some exotic destinations. At the launch, Mr Lionel de Rothschild, welcomed guests and spoke warmly of the quality and style of Gervase s work, saying that his family, who own and run the Exbury Estate, are delighted to be able to support local artists like Gervase Gregory and to showcase local talent such as his.

The company has been assisting the Countryside Education Trust with conservation maintenance on the estate since 2011 and some of their employees recently returned to undertake a further session of scrub and path clearance, tree planting, and fence building as part of SSE s employee volunteering scheme, Community at Heart. One of the volunteers said Since we first began volunteering for the Trust back in 2011, nearly 100 employees have lent a hand. We re delighted that it has become a regular volunteering fixture for us, with employees now taking monthly opportunities to provide assistance which enables us to have a thoroughly enjoyable and productive time. David Bridges, Director of the Countryside Education Trust, added We rely heavily on voluntary input. Most companies that help us only come the once, so the regular help SSE volunteers have been giving us with our conservation work has been a great boost.

Swimming just against the tide Chris completed the distance in around 50 minutes and said it was one of the best days swimming he can remember. Bitten by the open water bug he intends to continue, perhaps looking to swim in the Brownsea Island 6.5km event in the next year or two.

Braving blistering heat, the youngsters, who were supervised by 5 members of staff, managed to navigate their way around their route and also completed a number of projects. These included geo caching, local history and how to survive D of E expeditions. Assessors from the New Forest D of E award panel commented on how responsible and determined the teams had been, and complimented them on the great display of team work shown by all the students.

15 the new Forest remembers Lepe Country Park marked the 70th Anniversary of D Day year with an event over the weekend of Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th July. The whole of the New Forest was involved in the build up to the Normandy invasion which marked a critical turning point in the war. Lepe itself was an embarkation beach where 6000 troops and their vehicles and equipment set off for France, as well as sections of the Mulberry Harbour being constructed, so it was an appropriate location to hold a commemorative event. Central to the weekend was a parade and moving cliff top memorial service on the Sunday morning at which all generations were represented.

The event continued into Monday and Tuesday with two days of activities for 180 local school children with walks to the D Day beach, code breaking challenges, archive films, maps and other artefacts helping them to learn about this time in British history. Alison Steele, Manager at Lepe Country Park, said that meeting some of the D Day veterans has been a huge privilege of her job in recent years and she welcomes the opportunity to make sure that their incredible stories are passed on to future generations and that everyone continues to remember those that made the ultimate sacrifice.

17 CuBBy And me Six year old Ellila-Jean Wood from Dibden Purlieu is the proud author of her first book Cubby and Me The Lost Teddy, helped by her Mum, Kirsty and Dad James. The book came about from Ellila s ideas and imagination based around her playhouse and the magical adventures that take place when Ellila and her pet Chow Chow dog, Cubby, step inside. Kirsty explained: I have always loved creative writing and reading books, I especially like reading to my daughter and take a keen interest in all the different types of children s books on the market. Having also previously worked with children in a nursery setting, I have been fortunate to read and purchase many of my favourites for Ellila to also enjoy. The story has been written with younger children (3+) in mind. It is a picture book, illustrated by Jennifer Polden, and encourages the reader to get involved with a few little questions along the way to answer- so whoever is reading the story can ask the child the questions which encourages them to think and also discuss the story. Ellila and Kirsty hope that this will be the first of Ellila-Jean and Cubby a series of books of Cubby and Me adventures. The book costs 4.99 (+P&P) and more details can be found on the Facebook page Cubbyandme or the website First World War in Songs and Sketches As part of the commemoration of the centenary of the start of World War 1, Copythorne Amateur Theatrical Society chose to present the challenging show Oh! What a Lovely War, an ironic depiction of the war through songs and sketches. Skilfully directed by Tony Maclachlan, this show featured not exactly a cast of thousands but 25 actors playing multiple roles, which involved some very slick costume changes and not inconsiderable ability to change from one accent to another. From the moment the audience arrived, they were transported back to the wartime period, with an Army Recruitment Officer stopping all the men at the door and endeavouring to persuade them to enlist for King and Country. Tables were set out in Edwardian tea room style with appropriate posters and wartime propaganda leaflets to add to the atmosphere; there was even an opportunity to purchase tea and cakes at WWI prices using genuine pre-decimal pennies. The show itself gave the players ample opportunity to demonstrate their singing talent and the group performances, especially those involving the squad of Tommies, were very effective indeed. Of the solos, Rebecca Stenson s memorable and glamorous performance was outstanding. The costumes, too, were superb especially the military Review by Janice Taylor uniforms which helped to set the show in the right period and helped the audience to keep track of the rapidly changing characters. With opportunities for the audience to join in with some iconic songs such as Pack up your Troubles and Keep the Home Fires Burning, CATS brought home the First World War as it really was not a glorious episode in history, but a series of blunders and miscalculations by the governments and high commands of all the nations involved. The devastating results of this in terms of human suffering were underlined by a series of images and statistics shown on a large screen at the side of the stage.

23 Firefighter Pete s Great Run Hampshire fire fighter Pete Broomfield, based at Hythe Fire Station, is currently training for this year s Bupa Great South Run which takes place in October, when he plans to run in full fire kit and breathing apparatus to raise money for The Fire Fighters Charity. Every 30 seconds in the UK fire fighters are called to an incident, risking their lives to save others, but sadly they often sustain physical injuries whilst carrying out their duties. The Fire Fighters Charity is there for fire fighters during their times of need and offers vital support services across the UK for all fire fighters, assisting in excess of 17,500 individuals every year. Pete has taken part in the 10 mile race twice before, but this time he will be weighed down by more than 30lbs of kit. He is not out to achieve a great time, but just wants to complete the run and raise as much money as he can. The charity is close to my heart and helps serving and retired fire fighters and their families. It costs 9 million a year to keep the Charity running and with no government funding they are completely reliant on the generosity and enthusiasm of their supporters. Any money you can spare to Classics to Cabaret A concert being staged at Cadnam Methodist Church in Old Romsey Road, Cadnam, SO40 2NP, is set to benefit the Copythorne Scouts Gambia Project.

Richard Martin was one of more than 100 Cancer Research UK Ambassadors who went to Westminster in July to highlight the importance of parliamentary support to accelerate progress in the fight against the disease. Richard was keen to highlight the importance of early diagnosis, including public awareness campaigns and increased participation in the bowel cancer screening programme. There have been major advances in the fight against cancer over the last 40 years and Cancer Research UK s work has been at the heart of that progress. Half the people diagnosed with cancer today in the UK will survive the disease for at least 10 years, compared to just a quarter in the early 1970 s. Richard (57), a Fundraising Manager, said I m really excited to have taken part in Cancer Research UK s day of action, because I know that this is a great way At a recent meeting of Marchwood Parish Council, local councillors expressed their concern about the Ministry of Defence s stance on not consulting with local residents on the future of the Marchwood Sea Mounting Centre. We understand that the Port is likely to be leased out to a private developer, but not working with local Councillors to ensure the appropriate infrastructure is in place is absurd said Council Chairman Cllr Keith Petty. The Parish Council is urging the MOD to rethink and has been getting local residents to sign a petition to that affect, which they are going to present at 10 Downing Street this month. The Parish Council has also written a letter Richard Martin, a Cancer Research UK Campaigns Ambassador, was among a group who travelled to Westminster to show support for the charity s campaigns to help make a difference. For more information about how to get involved in Cancer Research UK s campaigning work, visit Concern over development in marchwood to all potential bidders for the Port asking them to take into account issues like the limited capacity on the roads and the villagers concerns about train movements at night. At a recent briefing in Marchwood Village Hall, the MOD agreed to pass a letter on from local councillors. We are not NIMBYs said Councillor Petty, we just want to ensure any new development is managed in such a way that it does not have a major impact on the lives of Waterside residents. The electronic version of the petition can be found at tions/66618 and paper copies are available from the Parish Council office and local shops and pubs. v SEND YOUR local NEWS TO THE HERAlD v

25 Cadland Charity Success The children at Cadland Primary School, Holbury raised over 1,000 from a recent charity week. The charity week is part of the school s RRR (Rights, Respect, Responsibilities) ethos within the school which educates children on their different rights and responsibilities. Staff were very touched by the positive response from the children who raised the money by busking, dressing up as their favourite book character and creating their own stalls to sell items. Two thirds of the money went to Oakhaven Hospice due to a personal significance to the school as a few families have had need to use the charity s services, and this was a way to show appreciation. The rest of the money raised will be given to Cancer Research UK.

There was certainly something for everyone and the sun shone On a calm and pleasant summer evening more than hundreds of people settled down on the lawns of The Grove in Hythe to listen to the music of the Cavalier Jazzmen, a popular local group making a welcome return visit to the Waterside Arts Summer Festival. The sound of the music, the enjoyment of picnics, and the altogether relaxed atmosphere made this a most pleasant way to spend an evening, and the way the musicians varied the tempo and style of the melodies played, along with their lively banter and wry humour, helped to make this a hugely successful part of the festival.

27 Beaulieu Photo Exhibition Beaulieu Camera Group played its part at Beaulieu Village Fete, by staging an exhibition of photographic prints submitted by the group s enthusiastic members. Actress Geraldine Somerville, who had opened the fete, was invited to select her favourite print, and chose White Doe by Neil Hardy. The photograph had been taken in the New Forest and Geraldine said she loved it because she had only once seen one herself and understood that such sightings were rare. The Hon Ralph Montagu, who accompanied Geraldine during the viewing, generously donated a bottle of champagne to Neil for the winning photograph. The exhibition, which was popular with the crowds, drew many compliments on the diversity of style and quality of images. For the first time, visitors were asked to choose their favourite print and 326 votes were cast during the afternoon. The winning photograph, entitled Come in Number Four, was taken by Allan Orme and featured a group of puffins. Allan will be awarded the Bob Grier Memorial Trophy to hold Brass on the prom Despite the depressing forecast, the weather stayed dry and hot for Brass on the Prom featuring New Forest Brass Band on the Sunday afternoon of this year s Waterside Arts Festival. The band brought the festival to a wonderful musical conclusion with stirring tunes, rousing marches and old favourites, all performed with gusto to the backdrop of Southampton Water bathed in sunshine. The appreciative audience, who soon found their feet tapping and hands clapping to the jaunty rhythms, thoroughly enjoyed listening to the band s accomplished performance, which was a very fitting close to the 2014 Waterside Arts Summer Festival. Neil Hardy s winning photograph being shown by (l to r) joint exhibition organiser Jacky Daniel, actress Geraldine Somerville, the Hon Ralph Montagu, and joint exhibition organiser Hilary Flaxman.

This was the culmination of Transition Town Romsey s Festival Project Amplifying the Test, for which Trudi s imaginative and innovative designs provided the focus and the inspiration. Art and science were combined in the 3 willow-based eel traps, interwoven with artwork created from rubbish, to reflect facts and stories about the River Test and to convey some idea of the changes that have taken place and will continue to do so. The installation remained in place for members of the public to view it until the end of July, accompanied by information boards giving details of the complexity of river life and the fragility of its ecology in the face of climate change. At the opening, Dick Hewitt referred to the importance The installation event of becoming environmentally aware, and Town Centre Manager, Mark Edgerley, praised the artwork and expressed the hope that funding could be found to take it on to other locations further up the River Test.

Hythe Turned African for a Day Cornerstone Church in Hythe recently hosted an Africa Day to highlight the work being done in Africa by a number of local people and local charities. Organisers of the event, Steve Baker, Debbie Perkin and the Mission Team at Cornerstone, were delighted by the response and by the number of people who turned up to support the day s activities. The Africanstyle meal was a sell-out and there was much praise for Ric the cook. Lovers of African music were in their element listening to the Gospel Phonics Community Choir and also joining in with Kwame and his band of energetic African drummers. Look out for the music next year, said Steve Baker, when we hope to merge the two and have the Gospel Phonics Community Choir accompanied by Kwame and his drums! The day also included a large display showing some of the community and medical work being carried out in Africa by local teams, especially in the slums of Nairobi and Sierra Leone. There were activities for children, beautiful hand-made African crafts were on sale, and the whole church was a blaze of colour with so many of the volunteers wearing brightly patterned African-style clothes. market & Booty Totton & Eling Market & Car Boot is now up and running on the first Sunday of each month from 12noon to 4pm in the Memorial Car Park, off Salisbury Road, Totton. Any traders wishing to book a pitch should contact David on ; those wishing to set up a car boot stall can just turn up on the day. The next one will take place on Sunday 7th September. A fun day was had by all, continued Steve, and we raised significant funds for the work in Africa. All those who took part gave their time and effort free of charge and we are indebted to them for their contribution. Finally, a big thank you to all who supported the event and helped to make it both an informative and exciting day. Those involved in the humanitarian work in West Africa ask that people continue to remember the people of that region as Ebola Fever is spreading rapidly amongst the population, causing even more hardship and suffering.

46 Page 46 The HERALD 7th August 2014 HeaLTH & WeLLbeIng More Money for School Nurses Hampshire County Council has recognised the benefits of supporting children and young people s mental and physical wellbeing and is planning to increase funding for school nursing services, with up to a maximum of 2.5 million additional funding over five years to be used specifically to support the physical and emotional resilience of children and young people in Hampshire. In April 2013, responsibility for the public health of 5-19 year olds transferred to local authorities. School nurses provide a range of specialist public health support and advice including the delivery of the national child measurement programme. The new service will also provide additional support for young people s health and wellbeing up to the age of 19 years. Cllr Liz Fairhurst, Executive Member for Adult Social Care and Public Health, said: One of our key aims is also to ensure that it s not only teachers who know how to contact the service, but that children and young people, as well as parents, are able to get in touch with the school nursing service direct. Being more visible in schools and ensuring children and young people know how to contact a nurse will ensure that those who need extra support are put in touch with expert help as quickly as possible, thereby helping to avoid problems going untreated and causing greater difficulties in later life. This additional funding agreed by Cllr Fairhurst will increase the value of the five year school nursing contract from 17.6 million to 20.1 million. The new contract will be in place from 1st April HoW to make And BreAK A HABit by Alan Jones, Registered Hypnotherapist You know you want to change something and you know all the reasons why, but then you always decide to delay actually doing it. Sound familiar? Most of us are exactly the same, and that s because the problem with a habit or behaviour is that you have learned over time and constant repetition how to feel or behave and react to certain situations, so although you may no longer want to experience it that way, it just seems simpler to carry on in the same old ways. But because habits are learned, they can also be unlearned. Using special therapy techniques you can accept and make big changes without even thinking about it. If you have a habit or problem that concerns you and you really want to let it go then call me on or and discover how different life can be. Great outdoors for people with dementia With nearly 20,000 people estimated to be living with dementia in Hampshire now, and the possibility that this may double by 2030, Hampshire County Council has been helping people with dementia to access its country parks so that they can reap the physical, emotional and social benefits of being outdoors and sharing activities with others. As part of its Dementia Friendly Hampshire campaign, residents of two council-run residential care homes took part in a pilot Home Outdoors trip to Manor Farm & Country Park at Bursledon, a working farm of a bygone age set in a scenic landscape of farmland and ancient woodland on the banks of the River Hamble. The trip was supported by Dementia Adventure, a social enterprise that specialises in outdoor programmes for people with dementia. v SEND All YOUR local NEWS TO THE HERAlD v

47 HeaLTH & WeLLbeIng AdViCe For dads A recent poll by Action for Children has revealed that more than a quarter of dads (29%) in the South East of England have never sought advice on parenting, and one in eight mums in the South East (12%) say the same. Single dad, Lee Chadwick, 24, from Hythe, didn t know where to turn for help parenting his son, Shayne. On the advice of a health visitor, Lee was encouraged to attend a Positive Parenting Programme at Action for Children s Forest First children s centre in Fawley. Lee said: I had no idea about parenting courses available at children s centres but I m so glad I went. The course gave me so much and has been invaluable for me as a dad. It taught me how to communicate more effectively with Shayne and seeing the rewards of a better relationship really improved my confidence. Almost immediately I began to enjoy my time with him more - doing the parenting course has definitely brought us closer. I d recommend it to any dad, just taking a step back and thinking about how to be a good parent definitely helps. For information on issues like your child s behaviour, routines or relationships, parenting courses at children s centres can help. Although it is often the mother that tends to be more familiar with where to go for help, having had the support from midwives and health visitors, the majority of fathers want to do their best to be a MONDAY QEII Hall, Queen Elizabeth Recreation Ground, Thornbury Avenue, Blackfield, 5.30pm & 7.30pm Consultant Ian TUESDAY Marchwood Village Hall, Village Centre, 7.30pm Consultant Sue WEDNESDAY St John s Church Hall, New Road Hythe, 5.30pm & 7.30pm Consultant karen or THURSDAY St John s Church Hall, New Road, Hythe, 9.30am Consultant karen or FRIDAY St Anne s Community Centre, Warrys Close, Hythe (Butts Ash), 9.30am Consultant kim or Lee Chadwick, with son Shayne good parent and to share that responsibility.

ADHD, for example, is a condition often misunderstood by society which can lead to isolation for children and their families, so the support of the drop-in group is very valuable. Family workers are on hand at the drop-ins to offer support and advice; some parents pop in regularly while others go as and when they feel the need.

The Safer New Forest Partnership and Hampshire Police advise: When parking at the event site, don t leave valuables in your car. If you really have to leave personal belongings, they must be out of sight, preferably in the boot. But if it s not there, it can t be stolen. Check all windows are closed and your vehicle is locked. Never leave a dog, or any other animal, in your parked vehicle. They will suffer, and possibly die, if the car gets overheated. The RSPCA or police will rescue any animal that is reported in distress in a vehicle, and the owner will be liable for any damages caused to the car. Most events allow dogs on to the site however, it isn t always a nice environment with crowds, noise and risk of injury to the dog. It may be kinder to leave the dog at home or with a sitter. If the day promises to be hot, use a high protection sunscreen of at least SPF30 with a high UVA rating on yourself and your children. Hats and bottled water are essentials too, when the temperatures rise. Most events have first aiders on hand to treat injuries or the effects of the sun. A bright yellow Hampshire Constabulary notice is available which can be displayed in vehicles stating: No valuables have been left in this vehicle. They are available free of charge from NFDC information offices or from the Hampshire police stand at events. noadswood outstanding At ForeSt AtHLetiCS At the annual New Forest Schools Athletics competition held in Bournemouth, Noadswood School maintained their dominance by winning no less than 6 of the available trophies.

Safe Beds needed Sofa surfing (constantly moving between staying on friends, and even strangers, sofas because you are homeless) can be as dangerous as rough sleeping. Vulnerable, homeless young people are left wide open to sexual exploitation, crime, drugs, violence, suicide and physical health problems. In the last year, 73% of homeless young people referred to New Forest Nightstop have already experienced either rough sleeping, sofa surfing, or both. With such high numbers of homeless young people sofa surfing and sleeping rough, more volunteer homes are needed to offer a safe bed to a young person for a few nights. New Forest Nightstop, which has been providing the only emergency accommodation service across the district since 2002, offers a safe bed to vetted vulnerable young people in the homes of trained and approved volunteers, and can literally save a life. Nightstop manager, Jude Todd, said Homelessness can cause long term damage to a young person s transition into adulthood. Our volunteers offer a bed and hope of a future to homeless young people. It is not a permanent solution to homelessness, but an effective community response, keeping a young person safe whilst longer term solutions are found. If you would like to occasionally offer a spare bed to help a young person facing homelessness, contact New Forest Nightstop on All volunteers receive expenses, police checks, training and ongoing support. v SHOP locally FOR SERVICE AND VAlUE v

53 older and wiser pensioner pole dancers Visitors to Copythorne village may see pensioners twisting and turning on lamp-posts, road signs and flagpoles following an inspirational visit for this unusual, athletic activity by Hampshire pole dancers, Sharon Hermitage and Paul Bradley who visited Copythorne & District Royal British Legion recently to explain that their craft is not all it seems. Members of the village s Legion branch listened intently as Sharon and Paul gave an illustrated talk about the history of pole climbing which was an athletic activity in 12th century C h i n a. Explaining that erotic pole dancing is very much a 20th century phenomena, they described how it is now increasingly used for athletic exercise, inspires national and international competitions and is potentially an Olympic sport. Sharon, an English teacher in Highclere, and Paul, a government IT consultant, then demonstrated a series of strength, balance and agility exercises on their tenfoot high chromium pole. The demonstration ended with an amusing and entertaining routine to the accompaniment of the Austin Powers spy film theme. Members of the Copythorne Branch were pleasantly surprised to learn about the use of poles by weight lifters, gymnasts and fitness fanatics, asked their guests numerous questions, applauded enthusiastically and some, including one 90-year man, took to the pole at the end of the meeting to see if they could support their own weight on the vertical pole. They were unanimous in the view that this had been one of the most fascinating meetings they had attended for a long time, agreed that they had witnessed an exciting and enjoyable leisure pursuit but had to admit that, for them, the opportunity had come fifty years too late. opal For older people Older People s Area Link (OPAL) is a free information service run by Age Concern Hampshire to help people aged 50+ to find activities, clubs and local services across Hampshire.

The New Forest support at home service will be tailored to individuals, providing any of a mixture of services including practical and emotional support at home, mobility aids, hand, arm and shoulder massage and a range of fire and crime safety assessments. Once the volunteer team has been recruited, it is hoped that people will be able to access the support from September this year. The independent living team will be funded for an initial three year period by a gift left to the Red Cross in a will. The project will also benefit from money given by the Balfour Historic Museums Trust to pay for the delivery and collection of mobility aids within the New Forest and rural East Hampshire areas. Volunteers will be required to undertake tasks such as keeping someone company for a few hours, helping with practical tasks like shopping, collecting prescriptions, preparation of light meals, and providing respite for relatives or carers. For more information about volunteering for this new service in the New Forest area, contact Nicola Oldrieve on Elderly Residents Delighted by Birds of Prey Residents and staff at Woodlands House Residential Care Home were delighted to receive a visit from a team from Liberty s Owls birds of prey centre near Ringwood. The team took along several birds with them and the elderly residents enjoyed admiring the magnificent creatures. They were given the opportunity to stroke the birds if they wanted to and watched them spread their wings. Residents were particularly pleased to meet the baby snowy owl that the team took along. Head of Care at Woodlands House, Charlotte Watson, said We are delighted that the team from Liberty s Owls could visit us. It was a wonderful opportunity for residents to spend time with the birds of prey and to enjoy an activity that is a little out of the ordinary. The birds are absolutely beautiful and residents really enjoyed meeting them.

Go outside on a warm night and stand in the darkest places you can find. If you re not comfortable with placing yourself in a dark corner, a torch will help you identify species and is particularly effective for spotting moths. Up to 1000 species have been recorded in certain rural areas of Southern England and even the most urban location will be visited by at least 100 a year. To have a closer look, a moth trap can be easily put together using a white sheet and a torch moths will be attracted in as you shine the light onto the sheet ready for you to identify (just make sure other lights are turned off nearby). Once marvelled at they can be released into the night. By planting and organising your garden the correct way, you can attract an abundance of nocturnal wildlife and making it accessible and attractive to nocturnal creatures, you are more likely to see what is scuffling in those bushes than simply hear them.

Scott used Strawberry Boilies fished to a clump of lily pads in the middle of the pond. The right habitats and plants help attract the main night visitors, which are insects, and just as easy as attracting butterflies and bees in the daytime.

AN IIMAL MAG IIC Problem of Im-purr-fect Teeth by Bob Russell, Pet Healthcare Centre, Hythe Vets in practice seem to spend a lot of their working lives peering into the mouths of dogs and cats! Homer was still eating his dry cat food, perhaps not as quickly as he did, but otherwise he was absolutely fine. I could see a few tell tale signs of deeper problems. His gums were sore and two of his lower teeth did not look quite normal. After his mum s mind was put at rest regarding the very slight anaesthetic risk involved, Homer was booked in for his dentistry. I try to avoid telling owners that a quick scale and polish is required because it does not send the message about how important it is to examine the teeth and mouth thoroughly. No cat would tolerate the probing and X-rays that a human dentist needs to do to decide on our dental health. Fast asleep and oblivious Homer could be checked Hot dogs Can Lead to tragedy This summer s high temperatures have prompted vets to reissue their warning that pets can struggle as the temperature rises. Taking extra care as the thermometer rises can help to keep furry friends happy and healthy in the sunshine. Dogs may struggle in high temperatures as they are unable to cool down quickly through sweating, making them vulnerable to overheating. Despite publicity campaigns in recent years, dogs still die in hot cars every summer or succumb to heatstroke as a result of over-exertion on walks and day trips. The British Veterinary Association (BVA) is highlighting seven simple steps to help keep dogs safe as the temperature rises: 1. Don t leave dogs in vehicles. 2. Make sure they always have adequate water to drink. 3. Provide adequate ventilation at all times. 4. Avoid exercising dogs in the heat of the day. 5. Provide shade from the sun in the hottest part 7th August 2014 The HERALD Page 59 Big Butterfly Count AnimAL BAZAAr dogs allowed in the Nature lovers have until 10th August if they want to respond to Sir David Attenborough s appeal to become back garden wildlife detectives by taking part in the world s largest butterfly survey the Big Butterfly Count. More than 46,000 people took part last summer, counting more than 800,000 butterflies and day-flying moths in their gardens, parks and local countryside. For details about how to get involved, visit properly, but running a probe along the gums it was soon evident that a large hole in a tooth was masked by swollen gum. X-rays confirmed bits of tooth and root were missing from this tooth, and showed some other teeth were also affected. The next hour was spent carefully removing all the damaged teeth and root fragments and he went home a little sleepy, but hopefully a lot more comfortable. Homer s teeth problems are described nowadays as resorptive lesions. Up to two thirds of cats can be affected so it is a very common and painful condition. Sadly it is irreversible so affected teeth need to be extracted. Homer was reported to be like a kitten again when he came in for his post-op check. Clearly he was more comfortable and was digging into his food with renewed relish. of the day. 6. Watch out for early signs of heatstroke, such as heavy panting. 7. Contact a vet immediately if the animal does not respond to efforts to cool it down.

Farm Manager Richard Fellows explained how the variety was very different from the usual ones on the market, being selected for minimum skin and taste. The whole point was for a certain blandness to absorb all the flavourings when cooked as crisps. Club members keenly collected some potatoes to try making chips at home having been told that they make very good Getting ready for Winter It may be the summer holiday season, but every gardener knows that you can never start planning for the winter too early.

Earlier this year a small group of students came up with the idea of creating a stimulating outdoor classroom area where vegetables and herbs could be grown for use in the school s Food Technology Department as well as in the canteen. These budding gardeners persuaded staff to help them and then involved the whole school by running a Garden Project Design Competition, from which they drew the best elements to create a plan for the garden. Then, in just one day, with the help of volunteers from the local community and from Waitrose, the team created a most impressive vegetable garden. Max, one of the pupils involved, commented: I felt quite happy on the day we built it because I was doing things that I was good at, so I was able to be a good leader to the rest of the team. Another team member, Michael, says he likes the garden project because it makes the school look more alive. Now that the garden is starting to grow, the pupils have lots of ideas for its further development, and are aiming to plant more seeds, plants Applemore s Garden Project and fruit trees to enable produce and crafts from the garden to be sold to raise more funds for future improvements. Ben, one of the enthusiastic Garden Project pupils, said: I don t think we could have made our garden without the support of lots of people from our community. Thank you to everyone who has donated to our project. I like our garden because it gets me outside more often. The Applemore Garden Project has been supported by a grant from Hampshire Gardens Trust, part funded by the New Forest Food Challenge which encourages families, schools and individuals to start growing some of their own food, and donations and support have been received from Southern Water, Jewsons (Totton), Travis Perkins, Holbury Hardware, Fairweathers Garden Centre, IKEA, Best Buy DIY (Totton), Countrywide Farmers, and Cadnam Garden Centre.

Graham Baker, from the New Forest Association, said: The cycle usually starts with small well-meant developments that have some local economic or community element. But there is an urbanising effect and the environmental value of the land and its surroundings are reduced. Many consider that Totton has already become a suburb of Southampton and there are now indications that this development SPADEWORK Family Landscaping & Fencing Team ] Decking & Natural Sandstone Paving ] Patios ] Driveways ] Block Paving ] Turfing ] All Types of Domestic & Commercial Fencing ] Security Fencing Supplied & Fitted cycle has started within the National Park in Colbury. The NFA stated that Colbury has already lost land for allotments between Foxhills and the railway line, further planning application for a 15-acre solar park has been made, a consultation is underway for a car park and a mixed housing development and housing developers Taylor Wimpey have charge over approximately seven acres of land adjacent Knellers Lane and the A35. All these developments are on back-up pasture traditionally used by commoners for their animals.

Safer New Forest Partnership warns that opportunist thieves are on the lookout for quick and easy access to houses and ladders, garden and DIY tools left in the garden or outbuilding are an open invitation to burglars. Residents are urged to take simple security measures to prevent them from becoming burglary victims. These include: Locking away any household items which could be used to gain entry to your home ladders, tools, garden spades, etc. Clear piles of bricks or rubble away and remove dustbins from view. Keep all outbuildings sheds, garages, stores securely locked. House doors, windows and patio doors too. Make sure your outdoor security He continued: All further developments in this area threaten the small gap between Totton and Ashurst and it is necessary to oppose such schemes to prevent the slow encroachment of the surrounding towns into this area of national and international conservation importance. don t Leave an open House invitation to Burglars lights and burglar alarm work properly. Mark your property, tools, lawn mower with your house number/name and post code. Secure your gates to keep intruders out of your rear garden and mend any broken fence panels. If you re on holiday, ask a neighbour to look out for anybody behaving suspiciously and report it on 101, or 999 in an emergency.

65 DOWN THE GARDEN PATH Glorious Gilberts Gilberts Nursery is open all year as a general plant nursery with large selection of shrubs, trees, cottage plants and seasonal bedding, but the nursery comes to life during the summer months with its collection of over 400 varieties of dahlias. New dahlia varieties, known as seedlings, are also planted out in a field providing a glorious display of colour which is open for viewing from tuesday 12th August until October or the first frosts. There are grass walkways and although there is a slight incline, wheelchair access is possible and there is seating around the field. The dahlias can also be viewed from the tearoom or teagarden. Entrance to the field is free; however on Sunday 31st August the field will be open for the National Gardening Scheme, so there will be a charge on that day only with all money going to the relevant charities. Dahlias will flower from mid-july, right through to the first frost, which in some areas can be up until the beginning of November. There are so many colour variations, some of the two toned colours look as if they have been created by an artist with great dedication, many different size and shape blooms, some as large as dinner plates right down to the small pom dahlias. In recent years the dahlia has become popular in gardens to attract bees, especially the single petal varieties where the pollen is on show from the minute the bud opens up. Gilbert s Nursery, which also has a tearoom serving freshly prepared food, delicious cakes and cream teas, is open Tuesday to Saturday from 9am until 5pm, Sunday 10am until 4pm, and is closed Mondays, except Bank Holidays.

67 ask a ProfessIonaL divorce & Family Arbitration by Dinshaw Printer, Partner in Scott Bailey LLP Divorcing? Cannot agree the finances? Frightened of court process and cost? Is there another option? Lots of questions and one simple answer, YES, Family Arbitration. Imagine a scenario where, for an agreed fee, at your chosen venue and on your time scale, a decision can be made and your matrimonial financial issues resolved; that is family arbitration. The process is confidential and can be tailored by agreement to meet your needs. Decisions can be made on paper or in a hearing. What this process really brings you is control and continuity. Your arbitrator (who will be experienced in family matters) will be with you from start to finish and hence will know your case well. You can agree a mutually Dinshaw Printer convenient venue and timing. Contrast that with court. You have to attend a fixed venue, cope with an inflexible procedure. Delays at court are legendary. There is no guarantee of judicial continuity. There are often high levels of cost. Ask yourself, why not go a different way? The court still has the ultimate say. An arbitration decision - called an award - must still be translated into a court order and be approved, but this should be a formality. There has been a recent decision in which Arbitration was endorsed as a real alternative to court based resolution of family financial disputes. If you have solicitors acting for you, ask them about Family Arbitration, or telephone Dinshaw who specialises in Family matters incorporating more money For SuperFASt BroAdBAnd Hampshire County Council has won further funding of 1million plus from Government to help extend superfast broadband across the county. This extra money is to explore innovative solutions for superfast broadband that could fill the gaps in some of the more remote areas of the county. The 1.2million funding from the Department of Culture, Media and Sport provides a boost for the County Council s commitment to ensure that as many of Hampshire s homes and businesses as possible have access to superfast broadband, and recognises the council s willingness to work with partners in support of this goal. Hampshire s Superfast Broadband programme is already on track to support the rollout of the service to at least 95% of the county by 2017, and this additional funding means that coverage could be extended even further. mediation, arbitration and collaborative law, on , or visit for further information. 7th August 2014 The HERALD Page 67 CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS For a personal accounting, taxation and bookkeeping service Phone for free initial consultation (023) v THE HERAlD - SUPPORTING local BUSINESS v

68 Page 68 The HERALD 7th August 2014 ask a ProfessIonaL Gerri Pioneers new role Eric Robinson Solicitors has welcomed Geraldine Dobson-Magee to take a The new in-house locum of the conveyancing department at Eric Robinson Solicitors, Geraldine Dobson-Magee new role of In-house Locum within one of the largest conveyancing teams in Hampshire. Due to the increasing demand of the local property market and the need to cover a team of 18 fee earners in its conveyancing team, E r i c Robinson Solicitors has taken the bold decision to employ an in-house locum as a resource to ensure continuity and efficiency in its service. After moving to Hampshire a couple of years ago, I was covering staff holidays, sickness and maternity leave across a variety of firms, Gerri explained. As I had so much experience in conveyancing, Eric Robinson Solicitors was recommended to me, so I handed in my CV speculatively and was invited to an interview. We have one of the largest conveyancing teams in the region, so it is inevitable that someone is on leave within the department at any given time, explained Catherine Maxfield, Managing Partner. Apart from the cost implications of continually hiring locums from agencies, having one flexible member of the team means an office is getting someone who is familiar with the firm, its processes and staff, and can set to work moving cases forward. The position has already proved a great asset to the firm. I am getting to know everyone really well, said Gerri. The case management system at Eric Robinson is really sophisticated, so it s easy to pick up a file and get to grips with it quickly. Critical illness - Heart Attacks by Mark Davis, Waterside Independent Financial Advisers Ltd Critical illness cover can give you peace of mind that if you did become critically ill, you could receive a lump sum to help pay off your mortgage or provide money for the family. It s offered by many UK insurance companies, and typically a policy would cover around critical illnesses, but this can vary with some insurers only covering the basic illnesses under Association of British Insurers (ABI) guidelines. Some insurers offer far more coverage beyond the ABI definitions. One of the most common reasons for payouts is heart attacks, with more than 100,000 heart attacks each year in the UK. Around 900,000 men and 400,000 women in the UK have suffered one, and every seven minutes someone dies of a heart attack in the UK, with 1 in 3 people not surviving before reaching hospital.* pupils think Big Recently, O2 brought its inspirational ThinkBig School programme to 6 schools in the Southampton area, including Hounsdown School. Over the course of the 2- day event, year olds, including a contingent of 44 from Hounsdown, were given the opportunity to practise the principles of entrepreneurship by using digital technology to bring their ideas to life. The event, which was hosted in partnership with Young Enterprise, aimed to show young people how they can self-start, develop creative thinking skills, generate great business ideas, and express these ideas on digital platforms. The Hounsdown pupils are among 6,000 young people across the UK who have taken part in the programme so far. The project is part of O2 s wider ThinkBig commitment to help 1 million young people, by 2015, to develop skills for life and run community projects. When it comes to making an insurance claim, the definition of a heart attack can be confusing. One insurer who has simplified the definition is Aviva. Rather than focusing on severity or clinical symptoms, they now go on diagnosis, and if you are told you ve had a heart attack, they pay. This means you won t be told that the heart attack isn t bad enough.** When choosing critical illness cover, seek Independent Financial Advice to ensure the policy is suitable, affordable and has maximum coverage on illnesses.

69 ask a ProfessIonaL implications of the Care Act 2014 by Daniel Curnock, CGM Solicitors, Hythe Following agreement by both House of Commons and House of Lords, the Care Bill received Royal Assent on 14th May 2014 and is now an Act of Parliament (law). The Act has been implemented to reform the law relating to care and support for adults, to offer more safeguards for vulnerable adults and to improve care standards. The Act also responds to the recommendations of the Commission on the Funding of Care and Support. The Commission found that 1 in 10 people who will require care will face costs in excess of 100,000. Those who pay the most and face, currently, unlimited costs are likely to be those with long Daniel Curnock term disabilities such as dementia. The Act seeks to clarify entitlements to care and support to give people a better understanding of what is on offer and help them plan for their future. It further provides for the development of a National Eligibility Criteria hoping to create more transparency and consistency in care costs across the country. One reform will be how care and support is funded and to create a cap on care costs with the intention of protecting families from enormous care costs. The Care Act places a duty on local authorities to carry out their care and support functions with the aim of integrating services with those provided by the NHS. The Act now brings in to force a right to an assessment for adults and one for carers, based on having an appearance of needs for care and support. There will be an eligibility framework in legislation for the first time. This will set a national minimum threshold for eligibility and provide clarity on what constitutes eligible needs which for any of those who have applied to the NHS for continuing healthcare contributions, will be aware that establishing eligibility for funding is by no means straight forward. The Act still gives local authorities a power to charge for care and support services. However, the rules regarding charges are now to be transparent and the new system, based on the cap on care costs and extended means test, will define a clear and fair system in which people will still have responsibility for their initial care costs but in the eventuality that they require long term care, they will not face catastrophic costs. With a number of changes in the legislation it is important to ensure that your Wills are up to date and Lasting Powers of Attorneys in place to give you and your family the best opportunity of limiting care costs for the future.

The site has been badly neglected and an eyesore in what otherwise is a pretty waterside village. Indeed the precinct was, and is, an environmental improvement scheme with some features designed by the artist responsible for the Queen Mother s gates at Hyde Park. Under Town and Country Planning legislation there is a legal requirement for developers to keep their building sites clear, safe and secure. The same legislation gives local authorities the power to enforce the relevant laws. Unfortunately, the developer Solotop Ltd has not been prepared to clear the site and make it safe. However, a few local residents, traders and councillors have, since last March, b e e n attempting to get the Council to take action. As a result of this pressure, the Council has now written to Solotop asking them to carry out the clearance works and erect a more permanent form of fencing.

Riders are being reminded that they still need to wear protective clothing during the hot weather to protect themselves and ensure they are seen by other road users. As part of stepping up its biker awareness campaign, Hampshire County Council is continuing with bike safety posters on key routes. The posters, featuring the Think Bike and Bikers Think! messages will be on key routes such as the A272. The signs remind motorists to be alert to motorbikes during their journey. Motorcyclists are also being reminded to be aware of other drivers motoring behaviour while out on the road and to give themselves time to react. To increase awareness, a bus back advertising campaign Think Bike, Think Biker! was launched on double decker buses across Hampshire reminding motorists to Take Longer to Look for bikes. Hampshire Constabulary runs regular BikeSafe workshops for motorcyclists. To find out more, go to safe.co.uk Are you driving SAFeLy Safe driving doesn t happen automatically. Research has shown that most drivers only concentrate for 25% of their driving time, which means that 3 out of 4 drivers around you are not paying attention to the driving task, but are being distracted by something else. Everyone has seen the driver holding a phone, yawning, or chatting to a passenger, unfortunately these distracted drivers are failing to identify hazards that may occur. Following these tips is a great start on the road to becoming a safe driver: 1. Keep your distance. Rear-end collisions are one of the most common forms of traffic accidents, so managing the space between the driver behind you is just as important as the space in front. When stopping, the early use of brake lights to control the attention and slowing of the driver behind may well prevent a shunt from behind. 2. only a Fool breaks the 2 second rule. When it s dry, you should have at least 2 seconds of space between you and the vehicle in front, and this should increase to 4 seconds when visibility is low, such as in light fog, rain or at night time. In severe weather, such as snow, ice or heavy driving rain, double the distance again. 3. more haste less speed. In busy congested conditions or built-up areas, give yourself time. There is no need to speed and you won t get there any quicker. Don t treat speed limits as a target and ensure you are constantly taking road and traffic conditions into account. Knowing you have plenty of time to complete your journey will help you to relax and avoid the temptation to push your speed. 4. Look ahead and anticipate. Don t just look at the vehicle in front and in your mirror to see what is going on immediately around. You can anticipate what is happening ahead by looking at what is happening at the furthest point along the road as well as observing what your fellow road users are doing. v PART OF YOUR COMMUNITY FOR 20 YEARS v

78 Page 78 The HERALD 7th August 2014 ON THE ROAD Balancing Needs of Road Users & Wildlife Good visibility is vital for motorists and other road users which is why verges are trimmed to maintain clear lines of sight. However Hampshire County Council has responded to a challenge by TV gardener Alan Titchmarsh, who has asked councils to sign up to three guidelines while managing out of town road verges, to balance with the needs and cycles of plant and wildlife habitats. Alan has joined Conservation charity, Plantlife, in its campaign to ask councils to cut the full width of the verge once a year. In Hampshire, the full rural verge width is actually cut just every three years to allow for the natural ecosystem as far as possible.

Councillor Seán Woodward, Executive Member for Economy, Transport and Environment at Hampshire County Council, said: I m pleased to say that the way we manage verges in Hampshire, carefully balancing the needs of both wildlife and road users, meets, or in some cases exceeds, most of Alan s criteria. The second request is to refrain from cutting verges between April and August except to maintain sight lines or for other road safety purposes. Hampshire County Council does, indeed, cut verges The International Autojumble returns to Beaulieu over the weekend of Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th September, when veteran, vintage and classic vehicle enthusiasts are expected to throng to the grounds of the National Motor Museum. There are 2,000 stand spaces at this time, specifically and only for these reasons. The width cut is just one metre. The third request is to gather and remove cuttings wherever possible, and this is where we will have to agree to differ. As we cut the full width of the verge only every three years, we do not think the cuttings are detrimental to wildlife. On balance, because of the significant cost of removal and transport of cuttings from the 2,000 miles of rural verges we look after, together with the increased traffic of heavy vehicles through Hampshire s rural villages this would entail, we leave cuttings to naturally compost where they are. international AutoJumBLe v SUPPORT YOUR local BUSINESSES v offering a treasure trove of motoring parts, accessories, automobilia, literature, tools, clothing and more.

79 ON THE ROAD mp Supports talking Buses Campaign new Forest east mp dr Julian Lewis has strongly backed moves by the charity Guide dogs to make travelling by bus easier for people with sight loss. dr Lewis attended a presentation at the House of Commons in support of Guide dogs campaign for all new buses to have audiovisual next stop announcements, which are vital for blind and partially sighted passengers. Such announcements enable visually impaired people to understand their location, and prevent them from missing their stops. Audio-visual systems are fitted to only about 1/5 of the bus fleet nationally, with the vast majority of these buses being in London. The Guide Dogs charity is calling for the Government to require all new buses to be fitted with the new technology, as currently bus operators are under no obligation to include it when upgrading their fleets. James White, Campaigns Manager at Guide Dogs, commented: Buses are a lifeline for people who are blind or partially sighted, nd we welcome Julian s support for people with sight loss to be able to travel safely and independently. Prevent Summer Breakdowns punctures High summer temperatures can heat up car tyres and aggravate any existing damage to the rubber. If your car tyres are under inflated this can cause friction and added heat, which can prove too much for weak spots, causing punctures and blow-outs. Check your handbook for the correct tyre inflation pressures, especially if towing. Caravans laid up for the winter should have their tyres checked for cracks and any damaged tyres renewed before use. overheating In extreme summer temperatures, failure to keep coolant levels topped up, or leaking coolant hoses and broken electric cooling fans can all result in overheating and temperatures fierce enough to cause severe and expensive damage. Check the coolant reservoir level regularly (refer to the handbook if necessary) and look out for wet or white staining on coolant hoses. If the fan is broken it will soon become apparent when you meet slow moving traffic and the engine temperature starts to soar. Get a garage to check it, or do it yourself, by running the car to normal temperature and then allowing the engine to idle for five to 10 minutes, the cooling fan should cut in automatically. Quick checks before you go Check brake, clutch and power steering fluids, oil, and coolant levels are all up to the mark (refer to the handbook if in any doubt). Clean the windscreen, windows and mirrors. Fill the windscreen-washer bottle using a screenwash additive to help clear traffic film and dead insects. Check and adjust tyre pressures, increasing them for heavy loads if necessary. The correct pressures will be given in the car s handbook. If a service is due, get it done before you go on holiday, repairs can be more expensive away from home.

The 1m allocation to the New Forest from the Local Sustainable Transport Fund (LSTF) focusses on improving bus and rail services, making it easier for local residents and visitors to travel around the National Park without a car, helping to reduce congestion and carbon emissions, support the local economy and protect the area s unique landscapes and traditions. The year-long extension builds upon successful schemes developed over the past three years after 3.8m funding from the LSTF programme was awarded to both national parks in 2012, which has helped support the new blue route for the open-top New Forest Tour, the seasonal Beach Bus linking Lymington, Beaulieu, Lepe and Hythe Ferry, as well as the New Forest Travel Concierge at Brockenhurst rail station, guiding visitors to car-free experiences. Proposals for 2015/16 include: a new weekend and seasonal shuttle bus across the Forest between Ringwood and Hythe Ferry; improved bus services for the Bluestar 6 route between Lymington and Southampton; a new combined travel ticket for buses and ferries; promotion of rail services between Brockenhurst and Lymington; and development of the inclusive cycling programme which provides specially adapted bikes for young people with disabilities or learning needs. The 2.053m funding from the DfT will be match funded by 1.046m of contributions and support from local authorities and businesses. Hampshire County Council s six partner authorities are East Sussex County Council, Brighton and Hove City Council, West Sussex County Council, Wiltshire Council, the New Forest National Park Authority and the South Downs National Park Authority.
