News in Brief
ROUGH JUSTICE
The Magistrates Court in Wimborne is to close along with 92 other Magistrates and 49 County Courts in Dorset - as part of the Governments deficit reduction programme. Many people are asking who is this helping? As the closures will see delays, increased costs and cause inconvenience both for staff, defendants, victims of crime and witnesses. The whole of Dorset will now be served by only two Magistrates Courts, one in Weymouth and one in Bournemouth.
KEEN TO TAX Some 845 people filed their online tax return on Christmas Day - up from 620 the previous year; a further 2,408 submitted their self-assessment data on 26 December, HMRC
WHAT A WASTE Scientists have developed a type of packaging which can tell people when the food in their cupboards is starting to go off; an “intelligent” plastic indicator that changes colour when food is about to lose its freshness should help to cut food waste, around 8.3 million tonnes of which are thrown away in the UK each year.

Two Centenarian Firms Join Forces Wimborne’s two most historic family firms have merged.
Main Cover photo: Eric Watson
Funeral director F.C. Douch & Son, which celebrated its centenary this year, has teamed up with Charles Small & Son, the oldest family run business in Wimborne, established in the 1880s.
8 Gardening 20 Give a cat a home 24 Out & About
Martin Small, the third generation of the family to run the business, said: “Our friendship with the Douch family goes back many years… my father ‘Pickles’ played many a game of cricket with Jack Douch and both families have always been good friends and shared their knowledge of the funeral trade. This opportunity to merge is an ideal situation for me as I did not want to hand the baton to a large consortium and lose our identity as an independent family business. Part of me would have loved my children to take over but they’re pursuing independent careers, home and abroad and I am very proud of the choices they have made.”

Martin added:“Charles Small & Son means the world to me – I joined at the age of eighteen and have maintained the traditions set by my grandfather and father. The well being of bereaved families will always remain our priority.” The merger will see a renaming of the Douch business to incorporate the name Small. Nick Douch, Managing Director of F.C. Douch & Son, said: ”This is an incredibly moving moment – our two firms have worked in harmony for 100 years, we have strong roots in Wimborne and are very much part of the community we serve. My great grandfather Fred would have been very proud.” The businesses will continue to operate as normal, with all funeral plans honoured and the day to day running of the newly-named company overseen by the Douch family. In the near future the business will transfer to the Douch headquarters in Leigh Road. Martin Small will continue to play a close role in the firm. Visit us on the world wide web

Indonesian orang-utans and tigers threatened by new logging scheme Elephants, Sumatran tigers and some of Asia’s rarest orang-utans will be plunged into a “dire and immediate” fight for their lives as a result of a massive logging operation in Indonesia. The project could also unravel years of research spent solving the complex problem of how to reintroduce apes from captivity into the wild. The granting of the logging licence has provoked anger internationally among a coalition of conservation groups. The extensive new logging scheme, in which 124,000 acres (50,000 hectares) of forest will be felled on the island of Sumatra will threaten the last remaining patch of untouched forest near the Bukit Tigapuluh National Park and a critically endangered species of great ape living wild in that area. Subsidies for bio fuels have skewed historical demand patterns for corn, soya and other edible-oil crops. As grains have found their way into fuel tanks, demand for palm oil has soared and with it the threat of more deforestation as land is cleared for planting. “One worry is the impact of rising commodity prices,” said Andy Tait at Greenpeace. “Historically, higher potential profits have resulted very quickly in an increased rate of deforestation, with enormous impacts on biodiversity and huge releases of greenhouse gases.”

What to do at this time of year?
It’s cold, it’s wet and it’s fireside weather. But it’s the ideal time to plant bare-root roses – they’re dormant and they’re cheaper than pot-grown ones. I grow very few roses as they hate my poor soil and every time I fall for a beautiful floribunda (my favourite is ‘Margaret Merrill’) or a gorgeous English rose like ‘Gertrude Jekyll’, it languishes and dies. I am left with some species roses which seem to be much tougher: a gorgeous yellow double Rugosa hybrid called ‘Agnes’; Rosa moyesii ‘Geranium’ famous for its large red hips (but not on mine); a hybrid musk called ‘Penelope’ whose buds on first appearing are pinky orange, turning cream as they open, and my very favourite, Rosa Mutabilis, a China rose, an exceptionally graceful plant with bronze young leaves and single flowers which open yellow, changing to pink and finally to crimson, and flowering for most of the year. You will know that you shouldn’t plant a rose where a rose has previously been because of rose replant disease but a good tip is to dig a hole big enough for a large cardboard box and plant your new rose in that in the normal way.

Wimborne BID ‘Question Time’ Forum
28
Over fifty business people gathered to learn about the Wimborne Improvement District (BID) and what a 1.5% mandatory levy on their rateable values over the next five years could mean for them in terms of a better, stronger business future within the town. A ballot will be held in the spring when all business proprietors within the BID area will be eligible to vote for or against the initiative. Kevin Poulton, Economic Generation Manager at East Dorset District Council stressed that the BID process was not a Council proposal, but they did have a legal part to play in accordance with central government legislation. The levy will be gathered by the council solely for the BID Company who then administer how it is spent within the town. If the BID goes through, then based on a 1.5% levy of rateable value from around 350 eligible businesses, £95,000 per year will be raised over the five-year period of the BID. That’s £475,000 to spend on promoting Wimborne. Wimborne BID Director, Martin Tidd urged traders to get the levy charges into perspective and to examine all areas of saving. For example, in other BID towns, traders have covered their BID levy just by saving on energy costs, or by streamlining other costs. He stressed to consider the impact of a collective marketing strategy.

“As an individual it might cost you around £200 (a whole year’s levy for some) for just one advertisement.The BID has allocated £33,000 per year just for promotional and advertising campaigns to benefit the whole town.” Chris Slocock, Wimborne BID director, Managing Director of The Minster Press and Business Representative for the South West of The British Chambers of Commerce, pointed out “There is no other idea such as a BID initiative around at this time, or planned, that offers its business people such a priceless opportunity - autonomy to be involved in its town’s future potential.” For more details and answers to questions visit www.wimbornebid.org

Talking about wildlife
Frogs and Toads
Frogs and toads are our most common amphibians, widely found throughout Britain. They bear a close physical resemblance, but can be distinguished by several features. Frogs have a smooth, moist skin and long legs designed for leaps and jumps, whereas toads have a drier, “warty” skin and shorter legs, crawling being their preferred way of moving about. Frogs are more varied in colour, ranging from shades of green and brown to grey and yellow, whilst toads are generally photo: Steve Davis dark brown. Providing the weather is warm enough, frogs and toads emerge from their wintering quarters as early as January to breed in ponds. Male frogs make sure they are the first to arrive and emit a low purring croak to attract a mate. Frogs lay their eggs in clumps, covered in protective jelly-like substance, whereas toads’ eggs are laid out in long strings. The females lay thousands of eggs, but only a few survive to adulthood as spawn and tadpoles are extremely vulnerable. Tadpoles develop in stages in a process known as metamorphosis, and emerge as adults after a few months.Those that survive can live for up to eight years in the wild. The toads’ survival odds are slightly better due to toxins produced by the glands in their skin, making them unpalatable to some predators. Both frogs and toads feed on insects, slugs and worms, caught with their long tongues. Frogs, who can breathe through their skin, spend the majority of their lives in or near water, whereas toads are more terrestrial.

OPEN MON TO SUN LUNCH 12 - 2PM EVENINGS 5:30 - 11PM Tucked away in the quiet and serene corner of Crown Court, Wimborne Minster, lies The Square Chinese Restaurant. Yayu and I thought we would go to The Square to see what culinary delights they can produce. The atmosphere, although quiet at the time, was pleasant and tranquil, with the decor doing no end of wonders for the aesthetic appearance of the restaurant. Airy and spacious, the furniture reflects comfort and simplicity with no need for excess thrills to accompany the high quality food. After being seated and trying some Chinese tea and prawn crackers we then started our meal with a platter including chicken satay in a peanut sauce, fried squid, deep fried chicken in batter, crispy seaweed and freshly made vegetable spring rolls.
We believe first impressions are important, and our first impressions of the food were outstanding! The squid was soft and delicious, and the peanut sauce was chunky and flavoursome adding a lovely texture to the satay chicken. The vegetable spring rolls were a treat along with the spicy chicken and crisp, sweet seaweed to finish the dish off. With the starter done and already slightly full, we continued on to the main dish; King Prawn in Sambal sauce, with plain noodles and bean sprouts. We shared a single dish and found that it was more than enough to satisfy. The Prawns tasted mildly of sweet and sour but with a slight chili kick. Overall the food and service was excellent and we will be going back for more!

Even the mighty Tiger needs a coach
01202 870196
Q What exactly is business coaching, and how can it charliehaddon@actioncoach.com help me in my busine.ss ? A In simple terms, coaching is about empowering people to reach their full potential. The absolute key is that coaching is not for everyone. For some, a consultant better meets their needs. However, coaching is a fantastic way to expand your business knowledge, and take control of the achievement of your goals in your current and subsequent businesses. It’s also a great way of developing personally. And if you think about the words of the late Jim Rohn - “work harder on yourself than you do on your business” - that makes an awful lot of sense ! There are many business owners who ask me:“What can you tell me about my business that I don’t already know ?” My answer: nothing ! And therein lies the beauty of coaching - it’s about fusing the business owner’s knowledge of their business and the coach’s knowledge of how to help a business owner achieve their goals. The business coach’s toolkit is tailored specifically to any business in a structured and systematic way. This can be in one area, or F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F a combination of areas, F in the business - sales, F marketing, financial, time F F management, leadership F or team development.

T h e b u s i n e s s ow n e r takes responsibility for the implementation of the initiatives, and the coach equips the owner with the new skills and knowledge to facilitate the improvements in their business. This means that the new learning is internalised into the business and can be replicated time and time again. It’s the coach’s role to hold the business owner accountable for these improvements, and accountability forms a major part of a coaching relationship. After all, how many times have you promised yourself you’ll do something, and then never got round to it ? So what’s the real benefit of a coach ? When discussing his coach and support team, Tiger Woods said: “No matter how tough you think you are, you can’t do this on your own.” Charlie Haddon ActionCOACH Business Coach

In our community Christmas collection success
36
Rotary President Howard Smith said,“ I am delighted to inform all the residents of Wimborne and surrounding district that the Rotary Christmas collection at the new Wimborne Waitrose store reached the magnificent total of £1087. This will now be distributed to a number of charities.” Wimborne Rotary now has a number of local Business Partners who support the work that Rotary does and the manager of the new Waitrose store Mr Burdekin was able to allow a public collection to take place outside the main front door but under cover from the poor weather. If you would like to be involved in working to improve the welfare of the local and international community why not join Wimborne Rotary. There are currently 46 members including 4 ladies.

Black & White Photography Black and White photography has a classic, timeless quality whether applied to scenes or people.
Photos on this page: Roger Allen
Just because a photo is in colour does not mean that colour is an important element in the image. Sometimes removing the colour produces a more moody or dramatic image. Converting to black and white is best done on a computer, not in the camera. Firstly, you can rename the converted image keeping the colour original; secondly, computer based software gives you editing tools to alter brightness, contrast and the range of tones. Experiment with different settings, even going to extremes. Sometimes results produce images which are unexpected and much more dramatic also itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to experiment. There is now more use of black and white in professional photography, as people have rediscovered the power of the medium. This applies to commercial, advertising and social photography and it is not unusual to find photo book style wedding albums with both black and white and colour on the same page. This is an option I offer in album design.
Requesting restoration of damaged images is increasing in demand and the before and after examples here show what can be done. I get requests for colour and black and white restoration. One such commission was from a family who only had 1 precious damaged sepia photo of their mother/grandmother. They now have archival quality prints and the image on DVD. Usually a lot of computing power, sophisticated software and skill is needed but some simple restoration is possible with basic software on a home laptop. Whatever photography you do, think about the power of black and white. Experiment with your existing photos and have some fun on winter days or evenings when you are wondering what to do.

Belonging to BNI is like having dozens of sales people working for you because all the other members carry copies of your card with them. When they meet someone new that could use your products or services they hand out your card and personally recommend your services. It’s as simple as that! Last year members of BNI passed 6.2 million referrals, which generated more than €1.8 billion worth of business. BNI provides a structured, supportive, business environment in which local business people can get together to network, learn valuable new marketing skills and develop the strong personal relationships that lead to trust and the consequent generation of significant business for each other. Successful businesses depend on ‘word-of-mouth’ marketing as the best form of promotion there is and that is exactly what BNI provides with its members working together to help each other. There will be a visitors day on the 16th February so if you are looking for more business in 2011 and want to find out more, contact Peter Read on 01202 868800.
