News in Brief Dangerous Amounts of Fat in Children? The national child measurement programme (NCMP) is working with the NHS and schools to measure and weigh children and the results are sent to parents - help and advice is provided where needed. Claims are being made that nine out of ten children could grow up with excessive and dangerous amounts of fat in their bodies.
Up to 200 Jobs could go at Poole Council as the Borough tries to balance its books! Following the comprehensive spending review in October the council is facing a 28% reduction in Government funding over the next 4 years. Savings of at least £29 million need to be made - about a third of the council’s net overall spend.

A non statutory public enquiry will be held by the County Council and a decision will be made by Councillors instead of a Planning Inspector - but this could still cost around £11,000 in barrister’s fees – it will probably be the end of next year before a result is known.

The Imagination Library
:cYdghZY VcY gZXdbbZcYZY Wn
Dolly Partonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Imagination Library was developed in 1995 by Dolly for her native Sevier County, Tennessee. Dolly wanted every preschool child to have his/her own collection of books. The Imagination Library is now available for replication in any community in the world that would financially support it. Each month, from the day the child is born until his/her fifth birthday, a carefully selected book arrives at the mailbox. Kids across the country have shared the excitement of running to the mailbox to retrieve their book. More often than not, the child wants the book read to them now â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not later, not tonight and not tomorrow.Â

The Imagination Library is currently at work in 1,100 communities in three countries - the U.S.A., Canada and the United Kingdom. More than 560,000 children each month receive books through the generosity of local sponsors and the Dollywood Foundation.  In 2010, Recipe the 25,000,000th book was delivered! By inspiring parents to read to their children, we can help them Dream More, Learn More, Care More and Be More! Learn more about Dolly Partonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

Baby giant pandas A baby giant panda born Nov. 3rd has his neck measured by Dr. Hayley Murphy, director of veterinary services, during a check up at Zoo Atlanta on Dec. 2nd in Atlanta. At 1 month old, the baby Panda was still smaller than a house cat, but he was healthy and growing fast. He measured just over a foot in length and weighed 2.2 pounds. The cub, which will be named when he is 100 days old following Chinese tradition, will be placed in public viewing areas when he can walk, usually around 4 months old. This is the third cub for the cub’s mother, Lun Lun who has been with the zoo for more than a decade.
Picture David Goldma/AP
Masked and gowned to avoid passing on an infection, wildlife presenter Nigel Marven gazes in wonder at a tiny baby Panda. Just a few inches long, with a furless, pink body and tightly scrunched-up eyes, it could be a newborn rabbit, or some sort of rodent, perhaps.
Nigel Marven meets a 10-day old baby panda at Chengdu Panda Base in Sichuan province, China
In fact, this is a ten-day-old giant panda — still blind and unable to crawl — being nurtured in a remarkable Chinese panda nursery which is leading the fight to safeguard the future of the world’s most emblematic animal.

Yes I know that’s irresponsible and it may be the cause of these extreme weather conditions, but I’ve got more than one hundred pots of little treasures to over-winter - and they’re frozen solid. (They’re to decorate the grounds of Victoria Hospital next May when it has the opening ceremony of the marvellous new operating theatre suite.) They’re in the greenhouse, in the summerhouse and in the garage, covered by several layers of bubblewrap and fleece. Oh, why didn’t I invest in a heater when I had the greenhouse installed? We live in such a mild part of the country I told myself, and I never mind losing the occasional plant as it presents an opportunity for a rethink and another purchase. And, after such a fabulous autumn, I decided to leave my cannas and dahlias in the ground, a decision I hope I don’t regret next spring. My poor hardy fuchsias, which don’t look so hardy now, and my collection of salvias – of only borderline hardiness. I love the snow though, the peace and the purity and the crunch underfoot as I walk in the woods. The plants will do what they can, I’ll just have to keep my fingers crossed. Barbara Gooch

Your town needs YOU! Do you want Wimborne to stay vibrant and alive?
IF your answer is ‘yes’, then the whole community – businesses and residents alike must pull together. To prevent the worst of all scenarios – shops closing down which is happening in other Dorset towns, there is a survival scheme underway for Wimborne – to become a Business Improvement District (BID). This business ��������������������������������������������������������������� led initiative is supported by government legislation which by way of a levy on business rates gives local businesses autonomy and the power to ‘raise funds locally to be spent locally’. Over five years,��������������������������������������������������������������� the BID will implement a dynamic programme of advertising and marketing, support current and new events and help businesses by offering advice and training. �������������������������������������������������������������������� It will aim to maintain a ‘cleaner and greener’ Wimborne to enhance the town and encourage visitors to stay longer. A BID can breathe new life into a town, as it has done in Dorchester, which is experiencing a healthy upturn, with new businesses opening because of its BID status. Wimborne’s businesses will vote on the BID next spring. So, if you want to see Wimborne improve and grow – please use its shops and services and indicate your support for the Wimborne BID.

Spectacular Starlings Gregarious and widespread, starlings are one of the most common British garden birds. Smaller than blackbirds, their plumage is glossy with iridescent green and purple in the summer, turning darker in the winter, with white speckles. On the ground, they walk with a curious waddle, but their flight is fast and direct, aided by the pointed, triangular wings. The female and the male are virtually indistinguishable. Starlings are omnivorous, happy to eat almost anything from a variety of fruits, seeds and insects to worms and kitchen scraps. Assisted by the female, the male builds the grass nest in a cavity of a tree, wall or a building. Normally one brood is produced in April or May, consisting on average of four to seven glossy, pale blue eggs. The fledglings leave the nest at three weeks of age.
31
Autumn sees the arrival of hundreds of thousands of migrants from Scandinavia and Eastern Europe, here to overwinter in large communal flocks consisting of thousands of birds. Returning to their roosts at dusk, starlings provide a spectacular sight in the sky by performing complex aerial acrobatics, known as murmurations. The reason for this behaviour has mystified biologists for centuries, but it is generally believed that by flocking together in this manner, they aim to protect themselves from predators such as hawks and peregrine falcons. Despite their widespread presence in Britain, starling numbers have declined in recent times by about 70 per cent and they are now a Red List species of conservation concern. Niina Silvennoinen

Communication is the foundation
01202 870196
Q How can I improve communication in my
charliehaddon@actioncoach.com business ? A Quality communication is the foundation for any business - not just with the teams within our business, but also with the marketplace, our customers and our suppliers. So why is communication so poor in so many businesses ? Two of the fundamental principles of communication are ‘true communication is the response you get’, and ‘seek first to understand, then be understood’. So let’s deal with each of these in turn. How many times have you sent an email, or said something to someone, and they have completely misinterpreted what you meant ? Maybe you said something in jest which was taken seriously and caused an argument; maybe you said something important to you which the other person chose to ignore. Our response is often to cast blame on the other person for their misunderstanding - which normally doesn’t move us too much closer to a resolution ! What about if we asked a different question ? By adopting the principle of ‘true communication is the response I get’, F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F we take ownership of F F our communication, and F can ask ‘what is it about F F my communication that F caused that response?’. F When we get a better F F understanding of this, F A local we can modify our F F family run communication to make F sure we get the response F business F we want.

YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR’S PET PROJECT SUCCESS At an age when many youngsters are packing their bags for university or off on their gap-year travels, Ian Hulbert of Wimborne is packing his van to make his rounds. Ian, 20, has set up a pet food and supplies business, PetzRus, which offers free delivery within Dorset and at competitive prices. The business was founded by Ian, who decided against university in Ian with his dog, Elsa favour of self-employment and loves the independence it brings. Ian left sixth form but university didn’t appeal to him. He keeps dogs and a combination of this and constant trips to the pet shop led to him come up with the idea of pet food delivery. Ian did some research and found that this was a niche market and decided to set up the business, which offers all kinds of goods for all kinds of pets with a website giving details of an extensive range of products. “I love the independence of being self-employed,” said Ian. “My research showed that whilst supermarket prices were cheap, the range of goods was relatively small. Also, large bags of pet food are the most economical to buy, but bulky and heavy to carry, so PetzRus will deliver these and many other products. I am very pleased with the way things are going and I’m looking forward to the challenge of building a successful business.” Ian can be contacted on 01202 840234 or www.petzrus.co.uk

In our community PRE-CHRISTMAS COFFEE MORNING RAISES NEARLY £600 Wimborne in Bloom’s Pre-Christmas Coffee Morning at the home of the Chairman and his wife, Anthony and Christine Oliver, raised £592.
36
“It is a splendid amount” said Anthony Oliver after the event. “We had around 100 people attending. He thanked everyone for their support in coming and all those that helped and indeed supported the event with items for both the main raffle, the Christmas cake raffle and the bring and buy. The total raised comes as we celebrate this week the 18th birthday of Wimborne in Bloom and the money will help fund next years ‘In Bloom’ campaign. Although we have had a good fundraising we cannot rest on our laurels as inevitably costs to plant up the Town for both the summer and autumn together with watering throughout the summer will rise next year and are likely to cost in excess of £14,000. We believe its money well spent and our contractor Heathlands Garden Services certainly ensured a good display this year. In addition around £2,000 is spent on Hanging Baskets from Little Banks Nursery and we are grateful to many of the Traders who help with the funding of these. Anthony Oliver appealed for continued support. If you feel you can help please do get in touch with either the Chairman on 888703 or Secretary, Terry Wheeler on 849838 or just come along to the Annual Meeting in the Town Hall on 28th February at 7.30pm to find out what is involved. The small working committee and a large number of supporters have managed to ensure the town has looked good for the past 18 years. Please help us to ensure it continues that way for the year ahead.

Photography - Snow Here in the south of England, we never know whether or not we will get snow or how much. A nightmare when traveling BUT snow scenes are wonderful to look at and likely to bring out the child in many of us. Temperature: Is the biggest problem we have as it is rarely freezing during daylight hours. Snow is only crisp and sparkling when the temperature is below freezing point. The result is a soft white mass. We need to rely on shadows to get effective photos in the snow, so direction of light is again very important. With the light coming from the side or behind the subject, shadows will be created, and although soft will give form and texture to the scene. Composition is easily forgotten in the excitement of trying to capture the magical scenes but without good composition, the resulting images will disappoint. Take a little time to look and think about the objects in the scene. What do you want to include and what do you want to leave out?
Photos on this page: Roger Allen
Keeping it simple with one clear subject usually produces more effective images. Bare trees, reflections and foreground objects give a focal point in a photograph. Consider light direction to get shadows. Consider viewpoint, high or low, for impact. Exposure: You will have noticed that snow is mostly white and a lot of white in the picture will result in under exposed images with disappointing results. Some cameras have settings for snow scenes; does your camera have one? If not, alter the Âąev setting to +1. This will generally give more accurate results but always experiment to find the best settings for your specific camera. Night scenes: You could also photograph local buildings at night with street lighting (could also be an excuse for a trip to the pub). Finally picture format: Consider the shape of the final image. A panoramic format can often be more effective as you can crop off the uninteresting foreground or sky. Experiment as you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to keep the shape of the photographic image formed in the camera. Roger Allen www.rogerallenphotos.com

The open road is not the same if you have to walk.
Regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority
A car and the open road means the freedom to go where you want, when you want. The alternatives are crowded buses, expensive taxis or plodding the miles on foot. So to lose your licence can have a devastating and foot weary effect on your life. At MJP Law we have a Specialist Motoring Law Department headed up by Peter Greenfield, a barrister and true expert in road traffic law and procedure who over 20 years has helped many motorists keep their licence. So if you have been caught speeding, drink driving, careless driving, using your phone while driving or even booked for wearing no seat belt then give us a call and we will use all our expert knowledge to ensure that you and your car still have the freedom of the open road. You can contact Peter on 01202 823666 or pop in to see him at MJP Laws offices in Bournemouth, Wimborne or Verwood or email pg@mjplaw.co.uk

Founded in 1936 by H. L. Slocock, in his father’s garage the family business has grown and expanded significantly - moving again in to new premises in 2010. Already that space has been filled and we are looking to expand into more. Our production of books and magazines has increased dramatically and the volumes of full colour printing from brochures and leaflets to folders, newsletters and mail shots have grown significantly. We have taken on a number of new high profile projects this year, including the management of the Spitfire Journal which we edited, designed, printed and distributed worldwide to all their members. We have continued working with a number of long standing clients such as The International Camellia Journal and the International Journal of Management which are publications that are distributed worldwide. We manage production and printing of these projects from start to finish. Our partnership with Advertising Hub has become invaluable over the last year and has been a massive factor in our growth. We have worked with them on projects such as the Ringwood Town Guide, which we designed, managed and distributed. We have also used them as a vehicle for regular
