Royal day for foster carer A VETERAN foster carer has spoken of the day she met Prince William and was awarded an MBE for her long service and dedication to fostering. Cath Gullen, 67, of Mansfield Woodhouse, who has been fostering for more than 30 years, was awarded the medal in the main ballroom at Buckingham Palace. She said: “I was honoured to be named in the Queen’s Birthday Honours but I don’t think of the award being just for me — it is for all foster carers who do such an amazing job.” Cath was out when the letter arrived with her invitation to the palace and her husband, Stuart, rang her to come home and read it. “I was in shock and had to read it two or three times,” she said. “An old friend put me forward and I was so nervous, but I have enjoyed all of it. “People have stopped me in the street and congratulated me. I hope this award can bring fostering to the fore and encourage more people to think about it.” Cath added: “Buckingham Palace couldn’t have made us more welcome. “Prince William had already spoken to around 50 other recipients, but he made me feel like I was the only one in the room with his interest and his questions about fostering. It was a wonderful day. “Fostering is part of my life and I have

New chairman takes over at district council
A NEW chairman has taken over at Mansfield District Council.
Coun Andy Sissons, ward councillor for Newgate and member of Mansfield Independent Forum, has served as vice-chairman for the past year. He replaces Coun Kevin Brown, who was thanked by the Mayor of Mansfield, Kate Allsop. She said he had been an excellent chairman. “Thank you for doing a wonderful job of chairing the meetings all year, I am sure that everyone will agree with me you have done a tremendous job,” she said. The mayor spoke of what she called a challenging year for the council. “Across the country local authorities are struggling to deal with the cuts imposed on them,” she said. But she said Mansfield had been able to meet the challenge — with no increase in council tax. She pointed to many success stories in the district, including: •A 5.4% increase in footfall in the town centre against a national picture of a 3.4% decrease. •Plans to build hotels in the town and to refurbish and repurpose the Old Town Hall as shops and offices. •Plans to bring an outdoor Christmas ice

•Successful implementation of the ASSIST housing scheme to reduce bed-blocking by hospital in-patients. •The successful launch of the Robin Hood Lottery to help local good causes. The mayor also highlighted a number of consultation initiatives to help the council understand and deal with issues facing local people, including the Warsop Commission, Healthy Mansfield Commission and Meet The Mayor sessions. The new vice-chairman is Coun David Smith, ward councillor for Woodlands and a member of Mansfield Independent Forum. Members of the cabinet and committee chairmen remain unchanged.
Foster carer receives MBE
(Continued from page 1) “You experience highs and the lows but overall fostering is a very positive experience. “I would definitely recommend it to others.” Mrs Gullen has been registered as a foster carer with Nottinghamshire Fostering Association since 1988. Working with Nottinghamshire County Council, she has fostered more than 35 children, often taking on children with high needs, including babies. and has built strong relationships.
Coun Tracey Taylor, vice-chairman of the Children and Young People’s Committee, at the council, said: “Cath and her husband, Stuart, can be rightly proud of the years of service they have given to support children and young people.” The council is looking to recruit 20 foster carers across the county.

Showpiece cycling event to return for second year
MANSFIELD is to play a major part in the country’s biggest cycling event for a second successive year.
The town will be the finish point for the seventh stage of the OVO Energy Tour of Britain cycle race on Saturday, 8th September. The biggest free-to-attend sporting event will see cyclists start in West Bridgford and pass through Southwell, Retford, Worksop and Hucknall before riding into Mansfield. The route this year will take in key Nottinghamshire landmarks such as the new Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre at Edwinstowe, Newstead Abbey, Clumber Park and Trent Bridge Cricket Ground. Last year Mansfield was the starting point for a stage, bringing thousands of people into the town and showcasing the area to a global television audience of millions. The Mayor of Mansfield, Kate Allsop, said: “We are very pleased and proud that Mansfield has been chosen as a host for the second year in a row — this time for the exciting finish. “As it is on a Saturday, we hope this will enable even more people than last year to line the streets and provide a huge welcome for the cyclists as they make their way to the finish line. “There will be plenty of ways you can get involved — from decorating your home or business and entering competitions, to enjoying the cycling-themed entertainment at our summer festivals — so keep an eye out for more information nearer the time. “We hope you will join us to show the
Mick Bennett, Tour of Britain race director, added: “The turnout for the Nottinghamshire stage last year was incredible.
“The viewing figures for ITV4 show that Stage Four was popular with the audience at home too, with half a million people tuning in to watch the highlights – the highest ratings of any of the other seven highlight shows. “We are delighted to be returning to Nottinghamshire as this year’s route makes it seem like a completely different county. “We are taking in a lot of new areas, approaching a significant part of 2017’s route from the opposite direction as well as having hillier sections this time.”
The good overall rating was in contrast to a 2016 report that said it was failing to give pupils an acceptable standard of education. The new report said: “The quality of the education has been transformed since the last full inspection.”
Ofsted highlighted the highly-effective leadership of head Katrina Kerry for tackling previous weakness, leading to good quality teaching and learning in all subject areas, including the sixth-form. There was also praise for links with the Two Counties Trust.

world the very best that Mansfield has to offer.” Last year’s successful event attracted 210,000 supporters across Nottinghamshire on the day — one of the biggest turn-outs on the eight-stage race across the UK. The race boosted the Nottinghamshire economy by more than £3.4m.
Woodhouse school improving
A MANSFIELD Woodhouse school that was in special measures has been awarded a good rating by Ofsted inspectors. Their report said the Manor Academy was good in all four main categories — pupil outcomes, teaching and learning, behaviour, and leadership.

News Trailblazing minister makes church history 9
THE congregation of Mansfield’s historic Old Meeting House Unitarian Church have appointed their first female minister, the Rev Maria Pap.
In another unique move, the new minister is the first in Mansfield from the Eastern European Unitarian movement of Romania and Hungary. Old Meeting House trustee Pauline Smith, wife of retired Unitarian minister the Rev Derek Smith said: “We are delighted to welcome Maria to become our minister, having very much enjoyed her visit earlier this year where she led a service and joined in with congregational activities. “We are privileged to be able to appoint as our minister someone who has broken new ground in female ministry in the Transylvanian Unitarian Church and who has served as the secretary to the bishop of the denomination in that part of the world.” The Rev Pap added: “This appointment is a great honour and I hope it will be a great opportunity, both for the congregation and for me. “I bring an outsider’s perspective, but our common faith and values will be a bridge between our cultural differences and could give us a fresh look on ourselves and our calling. “As Unitarians, both in Mansfield and all around the world, we have a long history of openness and acceptance, and we strive to be a caring and welcoming community for whoever is in search of a spiritual home.” Old Meeting House deputy chairperson
THE Rev Maria Pap. Paul Frost said: “Unitarians have a tradition of breaking new ground and standing up for people who encounter discrimination and injustice.
This page sponsored by: Savanna Rags
“We have been long-term advocates of social justice and social progress. “Unitarians have historically been active in standing up for women’s rights and in opposing racial and religious discrimination. “We are blessed to be able to appoint an excellent female minister from Eastern Europe with very good English language skills and shared values with our Unitarian and Liberal Christian congregation.” The new minister’s induction service will be celebrated on Saturday, 14th July, at 2pm, after she led some Sunday services in June. Whilst the Unitarians were the first church in England to actively train women ministers, starting in the East Midlands with Gertrude von Petzold in 1904, the Mansfield congregation had not yet experienced a female ministry. Although the Unitarian churches of Transylvania predate those of England with foundation in the 1560s, contact between the Anglo-American and Eastern European strands of the worldwide Unitarian movement have been intermittent due to historical and geographical obstacles. While some Unitarian ministers from Hungary and Romania have visited Britain and the United States over the years, and others have joined Western congregations, the Rev Pap is a trailblazer, both in female ministry in Transylvania and in being a female minister from the Transylvanian Unitarian Church to take up a position with an English congregation.

MICHAEL Beresford, of the Mansfield branch of the Royal British Legion, with the mayor, Kate Allsop, and deputy mayor Mick Barton, right, with part of last year’s netting and recentlydonated poppies
Knitted poppies appeal returns for second year TO mark the centenary of the end of the first world war on Remembrance Sunday in November, Mansfield District Council is to create a display of thousands of knitted poppies.
The council is aiming to build on the success of an appeal last year, when the old Town Hall was decorated with more than 8,000 poppies knitted by hundreds of local volunteers, by adding another 10,000 poppies to the display. People are also being asked to donate plastic tops from milk and fizzy drinks bottles, which will be used to create a bottle-top mosaic of poppies. Green semi-skimmed milk bottle tops and red skimmed milk tops are particularly needed but other colours can also be used. The tops are being collected at the Civic Centre and the council’s offices at Clumber House, Clumber Street. The Royal British Legion is again supporting the call for individuals and groups in the community to get involved by crocheting or knitting poppies. The knitted poppy decorations will adorn part of the route for the Remembrance Day parade, which goes through the town
centre via West Gate and into the Market Place on the way to St Peter’s Church. Kate Allsop, the Mayor of Mansfield, said: “Last year the display of knitted poppies on the Old Town Hall made a really impressive and unforgettable statement. “With this year being the 100-year anniversary of Armistice Day, we want to go even better. “The flood of poppies coming into the council last year was remarkable. The community got behind the project and produced an amazing array of beautiful individual poppies.” The council decided to organise last year’s knitted-poppy appeal following the success of the authority’s yarn bombing display for the Queen’s 90th birthday celebrations in 2016. Michael Beresford, Mansfield’s Poppy Appeal organiser, for the Royal British Legion, said: “The generosity of the people of Mansfield has been amazing over the years, and long may it continue, to help Servicemen and women and their families. “Many have given their lives so we can live our lives. Remember them on this 100year anniversary of the first world war.” The council is again working with knitting group Yankee Yarns to co-ordinate the
display, which means knitted or crocheted poppies can be taken to the shop at 185 Westfield Lane, Mansfield. Alternatively, poppies can be taken to the Civic Centre, Mansfield, marked for the attention of the marketing and communications team. They will be collected until 21 September and various opportunities will be held in the Market Place throughout the coming months for people to help tie the poppies to camouflage nets. People will also be able to write messages on a commemoration board. The displays will be installed during the week prior to Remembrance Sunday, on 11th November — exactly 100 years to the day that peace was declared after four years of war against Germany. Remembrance Sunday is a memorial day for all British and Allied Servicemen and women who have died in active service in various wars and conflicts since 1914. Anyone interested in helping should speak to the events team on 01623 463376 or email events@mansfield.gov.uk for information.

Cancer care nurse wins top award at celebration EIGHT inspirational nurses, midwives, allied health care professionals, support workers and students have been recognised for their compassionate and outstanding care.
Sherwood Forest Hospitals Trust’s annual Chief Nurse Awards, at Kelham House Hotel, Newark, had an NHS70 theme to celebrate the NHS’s 70th anniversary this year. Penny Tindall, trust lead cancer nurse, was named winner of the overall Chief Nurse Award — a special award, chosen and presented by chief nurse Suzanne Banks, for outstanding contribution to leadership, and empowering and inspiring others. Penny said: “I’m absolutely overwhelmed. I feel very proud to have been nominated in the first place. “I have only been working for the trust for just less than a year. “It has been a real privilege to be part of the team here. I feel like I have got one of the best jobs in the world in terms of looking at how we can improve services for our patients with cancer.” In total there were a record number of 288 nominations for individuals from patients, visitors and Sherwood Forest Hospitals staff across all of the categories, with the winners judged by a panel led by Suzanne.

IN the third of her regular columns for the NewsJournal, local author K. L. Loveley shares her thoughts on local writers. Affectionately known in the bookworld as Katie, she is the author of two published works of fiction, with another psychological family drama on the way. Born and raised in Mansfield Woodhouse, where she still lives, Katie writes under her pen-name of K. L. Loveley. Katie worked locally as a nurse for more than 40 years until her recent retirement as a practice nurse. During her working career she met people from all walks of life and witnessed sadness and joy, new life, and death. Her many experiences have enabled her to write with empathy and understanding of the health process; at times tackling gritty subjects and helping to raise awareness of such issues. In addition to writing novels, she also writes a regular blog post on her website, and book reviews for GoodRreads.
Two important local writers to celebrate
HAVE you ever wondered how many local authors there are, in and around our region? I am guessing that we would all be surprised if we took the time to search the internet and library archives.
However, there are at least two very important local writers who I imagine most of us are aware of. David Herbert Lawrence was born on 11th September, 1885, in Eastwood. His father was a miner and his mother a schoolteacher. Famous for writing Lady Chatterley’s Lover and Sons And Lovers, D. H. Lawrence was the first pupil to win a county council scholarship to Nottingham High School in 1898. Considering that his father, Arthur John Lawrence, was reported as being barely literate, that was commendable for young David. In 1906 he began studying to be a teacher at Nottingham University. Between 1911 and 1913 he had three books published — The White Peacock, The Trespasser and the well-known Sons And Lovers. In 1915 he wrote a book titled The Rainbow. However, this was considered so obscene that it was banned in Great Britain. That did not deter our Nottinghamshire lad, who went on to publish two further novels that were also considered obscene. Women In Love was a spin-off from The
Rainbow and was published in 1920. Lady Chatterley’s Lover was privately printed in Florence in 1928. As times began to change in Great Britain, Lady Chatterley’s Lover was finally published here in 1960 following an unsuccessful court case brought against it for obscenity. Today, as we read such well-known novels as Fifty Shades Of Grey, it is hard to imagine why D. H. Lawrence was considered so obscene. However, it is important to remember that our society was very different in the early 20th Century. Perhaps we have gone too far in terms of the material that is now published or broadcast. No doubt, time will tell. Lord George Gordon Byron, born on 22nd January, 1788, has long been associated with his ancestral home, Newstead Abbey, where he moved after the death of his father and uncle. Byron was an English nobleman, poet, peer, politician and leading figure in the Romantic movement. He was regarded as quite a colourful figure and one of the greatest British poets. His notability is not only based upon his writing but also on his life, his numerous love affairs and his debts. Byron was once described as being mad, bad and dangerous to know. Among his best-known poems is Don
Juan, a lengthy narrative too long for the purpose of this article. However, I have chosen a short extract to give you a taste of his poetry. Let us have wine and women, mirth and laughter. Sermons and soda-water the day after. These lines are full of mischief, as is the rest of the poem. It is a satirical poem, based on the legend of Don Juan, which Byron reverses. He portrays Dob Juan not as a womaniser, but as a man who is easily seduced. Byron once wrote that poetry is the expression of excited passion. His work reflects this sentiment and even if you are not a lover of poetry, sometimes it is good to take a leap of faith and look at some of the amazing poetry written not only by Byron, but also by our other great British poets.

JUNIOR angler Joshua Paling, 15, has been selected to fish for England under-15s in the World Youth Championships for a second successive year.
In 2017, the youngster, who lives in Mansfield Woodhouse and Langwith, was a part of the team that won a bronze medal in Ireland. This year the team is heading to Italy, fishing the Cavo Lama Canal, Modena, at the end of July, with high hopes of bringing home gold. The team is mostly self-funded by parents running fundraising events and any local company wanting to back them can contact Joshua through his Facebook page — Josh Paling angling. Joshua helped to raise nearly £2,000 for the team, running a fundraising match at Sherwood Forest Fishery, Warsop, with Woodhouse Angling Centre. He also helped to run another event at Lindholme Lakes with local angler Robert Atkins, and collected money at Rushfield Lakes, near Lincoln. l RIGHT: Joshua Paling, who will represent England for a second successive year at the World Youth Championships.
