News in Brief Wimborne’s Police Station Faces Closure Local Councillors are concerned as the two staff that run the counter at Wimborne Police station have been told their jobs are at risk under a recent review. If the counter does shut members of the public will have to travel to Ferndown to report a crime face to face.Assistant Chief Constable Mike Granville said the force was reviewing all its counter services, but no decisions had been made. Detailed work and Discussions are on going.

Colehill Library Joins Short List for Closure Parish Councillors have spoken out after Dorset County Council left their library in Middlehill Road on a trimmed list of 10 community libraries that could have their funding removed. Real worries for the community of Colehill are being voiced if the library closes - The Colehill Library Action Group argue the usage and loans increasing each year prove that the library is well used.

Are you Donating your Organs? – To join the donor register visit organdonation.nhs.uk Apparently more than a third of the population of the South West is on the NHS donor register – the second highest proportion in the UK after Scotland. Last year more than 1,000 people donated organs after death, allowing more than 2,700 transplants to take place.

Nearly £4,000 SPITFIRE SOCIETY raised by WIMBORNE MEETING Gardens Open Event Saturday 10th September in aid of 3.15pm – 5.30pm Wimborne Royal British Legion, Wimborne 4 Redcotts Lane, Wimborne BH21 1JX In Bloom

Around 670 visitors enjoyed strolling around 21 Wimborne Gardens whilst at the same time raising almost £4,000 for Wimborne in Bloom funds.

The total was boosted by Barclays Bank and their matched fundraising scheme. .

The ‘In Bloom’ Committee were delighted with the response and we were indeed fortunate with the weather. On behalf of the Committee Anthony Oliver thanked all those who opened their gardens, all who helped and, especially those who served lunches and teas and all those who supported the event together with all the helpers. Without the latter the event could not have taken place.

Anthony Oliver MBE, Chairman,Wimborne in Bloom.

www.jonstokesgardenservices.co.uk Summer Garden People sneer at crocosmias and won’t have them in the garden. The dear old montbretia is to blame, it looks beautiful growing wild along the hedgerows in the west country, but in gardens it colonizes very rapidly by making a string of corms and stolons which travel from the mother plant and start into growth among the roots of shrubs and favoured perennials and become extremely difficult to eradicate. But the dazzling colour in my garden at the moment is the fiery red of Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora ‘Lucifer’, an aptly-named elegant upright plant, just over a metre tall. Lucifer is always the first crocosmia to flower in my garden and other gorgeous cultivars follow. (It’s amazing how one minute you like a plant and the next you have a collection!) I have ‘Emily MacKenzie’, ‘George Davison’, ‘Vic’s Yellow’, ‘Dusky Maiden’, ‘Solfatare’, ‘Severn Sunrise’, ‘Gerbe d’Or’ and ‘Star of the East’, which has the largest flower and is a lovely soft orange. Some people won’t have orange in the garden either but at the moment my best patch is Kniphofia ‘Shining Sceptre’ and Hemerocallis ‘Frans Hals’ (both orange) with Argyranthemum ‘Jamaica Primrose’ behind and a few heads of Aster x frikartii ‘Monch’ mixed in.

Glen Farm Pick for Success 2011 has been a successful year here at Glen Farm so far, the fruit crop had a good start due to the fact that we did not have any late spring frosts which were hard enough to kill the blossom.

This was followed by unusually hot weather, which brought all the crops on early, due to the way we grow the strawberries and the many different varieties that we grow that does not mean the season will end early for us. The heavy rain in June was a mixed blessing, it helped the raspberries, currants and gooseberries growing in the soil but was bad for the strawberries, the fruit of which do not like being soaked and it came at a time when most of the crop was not under protection.

Some areas of your life may be fine but bereavement, ill-health, relationship difficulties, redundancy, or simply everyday changes, may lead you to need a little extra help, just because you are human.

Counselling can help with developing an increasing understanding of yourself, your environment and the choices available to you.

Its a healthy option for people who are brave enough to ask for help and who have the courage to accept it.

Business to Business The role of the Business Coach

34

The role of the Business Coach is to coach business owners to improve their business through guidance, support, and encouragement.

Business coaching helps business owners with their sales, marketing, management, team building, and so much more. Just like a sporting coach, your Business Coach will help you focus on your game. We assist in setting the goals, laying out the plan and holding people accountable to achieving their goals.

According to a survey conducted in 2010, coaching clients of the International Coach Federation showed that: * 62.4% experienced improved goal-setting * 60.5% reported a more balanced life * 57.1% had reduced stress levels * 52.4% had more self-confidence * 43.3% felt coaching improved their quality of life * 25.7% reported an increase in income A Business Coach is like a consultant, with

01202 870196 charliehaddon@actioncoach.com

years of successful experience that can provide valuable insight, help you develop long-term and short-term goals and strategies, as well as improve your business in areas that you might have overlooked. It’s simple, it’s just not easy!

Business owners and executives have to want it and they have to be coach-able. We can’t change the business itself unless we change the behaviour of the owner. The formula we use is BE X DO = HAVE. We hold them accountable to do the things they know they need to do to improve the results in their business.

Call me today to arrange your free, no obligation business diagnostic session, where we explore the potential in your business !

I guarantee you will come away with two things at least: a lot of ideas for growing your business, and loads of enthusiasm for moving forwards !

In our community New President for Wimborne Rotary

36

Reverend Robert McBain has just taken over as President of Wimborne Rotary for the new Rotary year of 2011- 2012. He says that his aim for the Club is to continue the good things that Past President Howard Smith has achieved and to work Past President- Howard Smith – 2010/2011 with the community to bring assistance where possible to local & President Rev Robert McBain organisations and especially children.

If you want to see more of what Wimborne Rotary does or would like to consider joining them then log on to www.wimbornerotary.org . They are a dual gender club.

Antonino - New Ferndown President

Antonino Perella (left) has taken over as President of Ferndown Rotary Club, accepting the chain of office from the outgoing President, Keith Puttick, at a handover meeting attended by club members and their partners. Antonino has opted for Marie Curie as the chosen charity for his year that kicked off on 1 July, a year in which he aims also to expand the club’s public service activities – providing increased ‘hands on’ support to local people, organisations and events.

Wimborne Rotary “Young Poets Competition” “Once more the talent and confidence of our young people have amazed me,” said retiring Rotary President Howard Smith,“To come into a room of 40 Rotarians and read clearly their poems just goes to show how our education system in Dorset is working well.”

The annual poetry competition this year was with the Lockyer’s Middle School and the theme given to the children to create their individual poem was “School Day.” The three winners this year were – Isabelle Klein 9 with “School Day”, Eve McNeil 9 with “Wake up Eve” & Chloe James with “Teachers.” Each one was presented with a certificate, trophy & a £25 Gift Token. Mrs Sue Grimshaw Head of Year 5 thanked the Rotary Club.

Photography

Cropping Photographs When critiquing photographs, one word I use more often than any other is ‘CROP’. I have found that most people leave every image as shot whereas many ‘alright’ photos can be greatly improved with a little thought and simple editing of the shape and content of the image.

38

Sometimes purpose is a relevant factor. Cover images for magazines such as this Directory need ‘neutral space’ allowing for text and images to be placed over the photo without losing picture detail. Photographers creating images for publication always need to compose photographs so they can be used in a variety of formats and always look good. The end user can then crop to suit.

For personal images you are the end user. Cropping is often an effective way of improving images.

The photo of the 2 lads enjoying the New Forest point to point racing was a candid shot where it was not possible to exclude other people and dogs. Cropping the image has turned a messy photo into an effective informal portrait.

Photography

The series of images taken at Derwent Water in the Lake District is a different approach. The original photo, taken in black and white and blue toned, works well but there are other images which can be ‘extracted’ by cropping.

To summarize, some images are better with a single crop whereas other images can reveal several different equally effective photos from the one original. Have a look at your existing photos and experiment with different amounts of cropping. The result can be much more rewarding photographs.

Pets Corner

Raising awareness this summer…..

As pets spend longer outdoors, many of our dogs – especially young dogs– risk contracting lungworm from eating garden slugs and snails.

Some slugs and snails carry infective larvae which, if eaten by a dog, can lead to lungworm. Lungworms live in the blood vessels that supply the lungs, which can cause coughing, as well as problems with circulation.

In rare cases these worm

Well I’m still here after 14 years in my tack shop, Horse Bits Dorset Ltd in Corfe Mullen; in the next few months I will let you know what’s hot in the equestrian market and give you a few tips.

With the summer come the flies and midges. Horses bitten by midges can develop a condition called sweet itch, if not treated it can only get worse.The saliva from the midge bites makes the horse itch, one of the best products I have found is Nettex itch stop salve. The itch can be relieved by applying the salve once a week (you can apply more often if needed).This not only relieves itching but repels flies and midges from biting. At the moment Nettex are doing a special pack containing 600ml of itch stop and 250ml fly repellent plus sponge retailing at about £23.99, also if possible use a fly rug with full neck and face to aid protection before the flies are about, to stop the cycle before it starts.

Horse Bits Dorset Ltd infestations can be very serious – even fatal.

The rise in the number of cases of lungworm should remind pet owners of the importance of getting their pet regularly wormed by their vet Lungworm is just one of many types of worm that are controlled by regular worming. It’s important to use effective worming products and your vet is the best person to advise on worm control in your area. Where there is a risk of lungworm, your vet can ensure your dog receives the necessary protection.

It is recommended dog and cat owners carry out a thorough worming programme for the whole of their pet’s life. Please also be aware that slug pellets can be extremely ha rmf ul even life threatening to our pets should they eat them.

The Motor Company formally enters motorcycle racing this year. The first Racing Engineer is William S. Harley.

Within a few short years, team HarleyDavidson is referred to informally as the “Wrecking Crew” because of their incredible dominance of the sport.

The Two-Speed rear hub transmission is introduced for two years only in the Model 10F. Patented by William S. Harley, it was effective but discontinued in order to further improve drivetrain function in 1915 with a three-speed design.

1915 Harley-Davidson motorcycles are now available with three speed sliding-gear transmissions with final and primary drive on the same side.
