SPOT LIGHT On S66
July 2012
Issue 10
A Word From The Editor
Welcome to the July issue of Community Spotlight on S66. This is our most popular issue to date and I’ve been sent that much content that I’ve struggled to include everything. Please keep checking our website, where in addition to back issues we will soon have additional content not featured in the magazine and a calendar of events. Spotlight is celebrating it’s 1st anniversary this month, and I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than to announce our expansion into Maltby. We will be delivering another 2,000 magazines this month into some areas of Maltby. Over the next few months this will continue to expand until by September we will cover all of Maltby, and start to look at expanding again to cover the whole of S66. Our aim is to provide excellent community information, events, news, views and spotlight on businesses to all of the properties within the S66 postcode. In this issue we have more news and events from your community, an article on page 6 about the history of the Olympic Torch and a competition to win Anti-Virus software worth £49.99, courtesy of PC-Part X (see page 14), plus much more!. The image on the front cover was captured on Monday 4th June at the Manor Field, Maltby where The Tiger Parachute Team helped Maltby celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee. Seeing the TV images of peoples excitement and sense of national pride at the Queen’s Jubilee Celebrations I believe we are in for a Great British Summer! We also have the Olympics to look forward to, and I’m sure that the community celebrations will continue. If you have a story, event or general community news that you want to be ‘spotlighted’, please let me know. If you would like to advertise in future issues of Spotlight please contact us or see page 10. I hope you enjoy this issue. Please continue to send us your feedback and input for future issues of Spotlight.

SPOT LIGHT On Torch Light Torch Light
The history of the Olympic torch The Olympic Games are almost upon us. The Olympic torch arrived in Britain on May 18th and is now travelling all around the country. The route is planned to take in 1000 towns and villages along the way, and is designed so that 95% of the population will be within 10 miles travelling distance of at least one stopping point. But what is the story behind the Olympic flame? During the ancient Games in Olympia, Greece, a flame ignited by the sun burned continually on the altar of the goddess Hera. The modern flame first made an appearance in the 1928 Olympics, held in Amsterdam, Holland, where it burned throughout the period of the Games. The tradition of the relay began in 1936 in Berlin and persists until this day. The torch is lit a few months before the start of the games, in Olympia, at the Temple of Hera. An actress, dressed in ceremonial robes uses a parabolic mirror to focus the rays of light from the sun, igniting a flame. This flame is then carried in a fire pot to the ancient Olympic stadium. It is taken to an altar and used to light the first runnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s torch. The design of the torch changes for each Olympics. The London torch is triangular in shape - the three sides represent the three times Britain has hosted the Olympics: 1908, 1948 and 2012. It is decorated with 8000 tiny cut-out circles, one for each of the runners who will carry the torch, and is
constructed of a lightweight-but-strong metal alloy. The route the flame then takes varies according to which city is hosting the Olympics. In the past it has been to the top of Mount Everest (Beijing 2008), and even into space (1996 and 2000)! It is carried on foot wherever possible, but also has to travel by other modes of transport, including boat and plane. On planes the fire has to be housed in a special lamp as open flames would not be allowed. As the torch is carried by relay, each runner carries it for only one part of its total journey. They then light the torch of the next runner. On average 110 runners will take part each day, and each runner will run approximately 300m. Until the 1950s only men could carry the torch, and it took until 1968 in Mexico City before a woman was allowed to be the final runner. The first woman to do this was called Enriqueta Basileo. Carrying the torch is considered a great honour. Perhaps surprisingly, most of the runners are not athletes. They are chosen for many reasons, often because they have overcome personal difficulties, or because they are charity workers. The final runner is generally kept a secret until as close to the time of the Games as possible. Previous Olympians mooted as a possible final runner for 2012 include Steve Redgrave, Steve Ovett and Daley Thompson.

We would like to thank Mrs Robson for her continued support in this project.. If you haven't already looked at the website take a look on www.bramleypc.net
Children’s Playground A new basket swing has been erect in the playground we hope this is an attraction to the visitors to the playground. Regular visitors will have noticed the lack of emptying of the litter bins, this is due to Rotherham Council budget cuts. We apologise to visitors and ask you to be patient while the parish council can put in place staff to empty the bins and clear the litter. At the moment the Parish Councillors are doing this job as and when they are available.
Youth Club We are continuing in our efforts to secure the lease on the Bill Chaffer VC building. The youth club is continuing to run in a partnership with Bramley Parish Council and RMBC. On 7th June a party was held to celebrate a year of the youth club partnership. Thanks to Tim Needham and all the volunteers for their enthusiasm in keeping this facility for the young people of Bramley.
Jubilee Party Thai was a very successful event held on Monday 4th June at the Bill Chaffer VC centre. There were children’s rides , games, live music and plenty of party food. Thanks to Cllr Sarah Count and her army of helpers. Also to Cllrs Hardwick and Jackson for driving this along. Bramley Cemetery There has been a lot of response to locking of the cemetery gates, most residents are in favour of this. The reasons for locking the gates is the vandalism that has taken place in the cemetery as well as the problem of household waste being dumped in the cemetery. There is ample access for people to walk into the cemetery as well as wheelchair access from Slacks Lane. Flower Beds The Parish gardeners are busy putting in the bedding plants

SPOT LIGHT On Garden View, Letters of Thanks & Competition
Garden View
What's hot ... And what's not! We often talk about trends in gardening, but unlike in clothing fashion, they tend to move more slowly. In fact, I reckon it takes around 10 years for a significant change to happen, and many of these stem (pardon the pun) from just a few sources. New trends begin with wild ideas from our top designers at flower shows like Chelsea and Hampton Court. These are then picked up by television and other media and slowly trickle down the chain into DIY stores and garden centres, where you and I can use them in our own gardens. By the time this process has happened, it's normally a couple of years down the line. Take the 'Barley Wood blue' phenomenon for example. This paint colour was used extensively in the 90's by a popular TV makeover show, and then once available in DIY stores, it was sloshed onto the fences of every 'trendy' garden. Thankfully things are now a little more subtle, with muted tones being the favoured choice (in the main), although I think it is fun to indulge in a few bright colours now and then (like my 'loganberry' rendered garden walls at home!). If you want to be bang on trend this year, then it's great news, as not too much effort is required. With the opening of the new parkland and gardens surrounding the Olympic
stadium setting the trend, you can't go wrong in 2012 with a few weeds! No, I'm not kidding, but to be more accurate and fair to the fabulous landscape architects who designed it, weeds are actually just plants growing in the wrong place, so in this instance they are wild flowers (how much nicer do they sound now!) Native insects love the natural open blooms which wild flowers provide, and they have a very calming element to them for humans too. So if you're up for a change next summer, and want to be bang on trend, then ditch the grass, rotate the soil and sow yourself a wild flower meadow. Until next time, Lee
Jobs to do this month • Tulips can now be lifted and stored in a cool dry place. Re plant in November. • Bedding plants can now be planted up in hanging baskets, tubs and containers. • Tender perennials such as Dahlias and Salvias can also be planted out as all risk of frost should have now gone. • Sow fast maturing crops such as radish, lettuce and spinach at weekly intervals to ensure a succession of crops. • Ensure the greenhouse doors are left open during the day to give maximum ventilation, and on really hot days you’ll need to water morning and night.
Letters of Thanks Hi Matthew, May I take this opportunity to thank you for your excellent feature in your 'Community Spotlight' magazine re: the National Autistic Society. It is well written and informative and a good read. Again Many thanks Matthew. Regards Keith Stringer Dear Matthew, Just a quick note to thank you for the article that appeared in your recent issue of Community Spotlight Magazine. Not only was it nice to see our business ‘under the spotlight,’ but it has had a very positive effect on the volume of customer enquiries we have had, and indeed continue to receive. Our website too has seen a dramatic increase in the number of hits and of course that can only be of benefit to our business. Thanks once again and rest assured we will continue to use Spotlight for our advertising needs. Kind Regards Andy & Angie Mutts’n’Mongrels

SPOT LIGHT On Rotherham Volunteer Centre equivalent, and have a minimum of ten years experience Sunbeams Pre-School where quality is recognised
working with children.
Sunbeams Pre-School in Maltby is notching up a host of awards and quality recognition schemes. The Pre- School cares for children from 2-5 years, term time, during school hours. As part of Full Life Church it is committed to serving the needs of children and families in the local community and beyond. Their motto of “the sunniest place to be” is apparent once you walk through the doors into light and airy rooms with warm and friendly staff.
There is a strong desire for excellence and staff are currently preparing to be assessed for two further awards. Healthy Foundations which looks at emotional, physical and healthy lifestyle issues and Quality in Action, the most prestigious of all awards in Early Years and covers all aspects of the curriculum.
Most recently assessors were delighted to award Sunbeams the Quality Mark, where all aspects of childcare provision were looked at but there was a focus on foundation skills of numeracy, literacy and ICT. Both assessors said they would want their children to come to Sunbeams, noticing how happy and confident children were. They also gave particular praise to leadership, and said documentary evidence was “exemplary”. Praise too came to Sunbeams Toddlers which was also awarded the Quality Mark. This is a stay and play session, where babies and toddlers can enjoy a range of activities both indoor and outdoor, including a small soft play area and ball pool. This group is held term time on a Thursday 9.30 -11 am and first session is always free. Sunbeams is managed by a qualified teacher who has been awarded Early Years Professional Status (EYPS), she has also been awarded Childcare Champion and been recruited by Hallam University to assess those wishing to achieve the prestigious EYPS. This is a postgraduate acknowledgement for those who can evidence the highest standards of personal practice and leadership and support of others. The setting as a whole has been awarded Childcare Affiliation Status by the local authority, recognising the high standards it offers and the level of experience and qualifications of its staff. All staff hold diplomas in childcare and education, or an
Sunbeams has continued in recent years to rise from strength to strength with substantial investment ensuring the learning environments both indoor and outdoor reflect the quality of care provided. As part of Full Life Church and holding charitable status, Sunbeams wants to ensure their services are affordable to all, and offer stay and play sessions for £2.50 per family and Pre-School sessions from £7, they also offer sibling discounts.
i
Parents too have given Sunbeams their seal of approval with once again a staggering 100% satisfaction rate in an anonymous parent questionnaire on issues such as child welfare, quality of resources, variety, learning outcomes and approachability of staff. Ofsted endorsed Sunbeams with one of their rare “outstanding” grades for parent partnership, with all other areas graded as “good” with elements of outstanding. Currently waiting to be inspected again staff trust that they will be bowled over by improvements made since their last visit! Sunbeams has been involved in a host of pilot projects for the borough including being part of Every Child a Talker, Thrive, 0-7 Transition project and the Toddler Room project where their experiences have been shared amongst their peers and findings reported nationally. Sunbeams gives one of their warm invites to anyone currently considering childcare and welcomes showing prospective parents around their facilities.

A Good Read
Bryant and May and the Memory of Blood Christopher Fowler
May are an acquired taste. I would argue that they are a taste worth acquiring. This is as good a place to start as any.
It seems that Bryant and May refuse to be pushed into what some would call overdue retirement. Despite the best efforts of various government departments during their previous outings, the start of this latest novel in Christopher Fowler’s popular series finds the Peculiar Crimes Unit still very much operational. And so it should be. Where else could you find a talking fortune telling automaton, a copy of Common Folk Remedies and an ancient Tibetan skull all in the same building? The Memory of Blood is the ninth novel starring the two unlikely heroes, ably supported as ever by a vividly drawn cast of characters. This time they are battling to discover who or what is behind a series of deaths linked to a London theatre - the first murder apparently committed inside a locked room by a puppet... Thanks to the circular structure, we know where Bryant and May will end up – hosting a grim version of a cocktail party for the main suspects. However, there are many twists and turns along the way, and a significant subplot involving the sinister Oskar Kasavian and his repeated attempts to destroy the PCU also weaves across the main storyline. As ever, Fowler educates and entertains seamlessly. The book is packed with detail, from a thorough exploration of the story of Mr Punch through theatrical history and the making of waxwork models. And, of course, London is at the heart of it all, very much the third main character. Fowler’s love for, and encyclopaedic knowledge of the capital city is evident on almost every page. Some would argue that Bryant and
Have You Seen Who’s Just Moved In Next Door to Us? – Colin McNaughton
28
If you are still at the wonderful stage of reading aloud to your children, then this book is a gift. On the surface, it is simple enough – the house next door has been sold to a clearly undesirable family, and the narrators are horrified. Not only that, but the rest of the street is in uproar – it’s shocking! Gradually, on each page, we are introduced to the normal residents – ‘a lovely bunch of people’ who include Mr Thing, the Humpty Dumpty family, Michelangelo and Frankenstein. Even the park is distinctly odd, boasting piranhas, a hammerhead shark and Tarzan. So who – or what – could have brought them to such a state of disbelief? I won’t give away the answer, of course – but even when you know, you will return to the story again and again, if only for the pleasure of McNaughton’s illustrations. We see inside each character’s home and running jokes carry from page to page packed with verbal and visual puns. Younger readers may note that the postman arriving with a parcel for the three little pigs is a thinly disguised wolf, but may not realise why you are chuckling the narrator’s ‘hunch’ that the face of the man in the belfry ‘rings a bell’. Multi-layered, clever and laugh out loud funny – what more can you ask for in a bedtime story? Kath Bennett

Bramley and Wickersley Lions Club JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS Some said “impossible”, others said “you’re mad”, but we wanted a challenge, a test of strength, courage and determinedness - 3 Galas, 3 different locations, 3 consecutive days. Weeks of planning, an early night and a hearty breakfast, we woke with the birds and arrived in mass at Wickersley Doorstep Green in preparation for their Jubilee Celebrations. People couldn’t wait for the 12.00 noon opening of the event, probably because our coconut shy was too tempting, families, groups of friends, even outings of our older generation came flooding in to compete against each other trying to dislodge a coconut and win a fantastic prize. When the show closed, it was pedal to the metal, as we dismantled our portable homes, packed them neatly in the bus, drove them to the Three Horseshoes Public House (the home of B&W Lions ), only to start reassembling them in readiness for Sunday, which was very thirsty work........We were ready, all we needed were families to test their skills on the hoopla, to win the crown making competition, and to feast upon the boxes of buns made by our member from the House of Cakes at Bramley who had slaved away all night. So to Monday the third and final day, off we went in the bus we packed the night before to Bramley Jubilee Gala on Flash Lane to be met with sunshine, what a transformation in the weather. Our marquees up in record time, we were
true experts by now, tables set, coconut shy at the ready, plants for sale; people came flooding in from all directions to enjoy the celebrations, what a difference a day makes. So to a close, a quick pack up and off to unload the bus and put all the equipment away, a fantastic 3 days, Lions working together, having FUN whilst raising money to put back into our community to needy causes. A BIG thank you to everyone who helped us and remember you too can make a BIG difference. WE meet at the Three Horseshoes on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 8.00pm, so come along and see for yourself the hard and dedicated work we do. Lion Gary

SPOT LIGHT On The Next Big Thing? & Love Where You Live? The Next Big Thing? By Aaron James
Popping up on lots of products, advertisements, leaflets, business cards etc. etc. are curious, square shaped, barcode like images. Many of us have seen them without really knowing what they are or what they do. Quite simply they are called quick reaction codes and although in their infancy in the UK they look set to become the next big thing. Already in widespread use in Japan and growing quickly in the United States their potential is huge.
With a little bit of creative thinking the QR code can be a fantastic tool for converting interest into sales. The more relevant information that can be given to a prospective customer, at a time when they want that information, increases the probability of a sale. Very few small shops can be open 24 hours a day but a shop that perhaps displays QR codes in its window really can. A customer walks passed the store and spots an item in the window they want. Normally that person would walk on disappointed because the shop is closed. Now though with a quick scan of the QR code they are directed immediately to the online shop where they can order and pay. A potential lost sale is converted to an online customer. Alternatively, if you want to get your business phone ringing, QR codes can be created to automatically dial a predetermined number or even send text messages. The marketing opportunities are endless.
They are used to transfer digital information directly to a user’s smart phone. They are far superior to a standard barcode in that they are able to store substantially more data. For example they may contain URL links, geographical co-ordinates, text, images and much more. All a user needs to do is download the free QR code reader to their phone, scan the image and hey presto! They The additional benefit of the QR code is that its use is completely free both to the seller and the buyer. Just as the QR reader app can are directed instantly to the required information. be downloaded to the smart phone for free, the creation of the Let’s take an example of how this could work.

Love where you live? By Aaron James
Littering has long been a persistent problem in every town and village in the country. The streets are all too often scattered with irresponsibly discarded cans and bottles, sweet wrappers, crisp packets as well as old newspapers and packaging from food takeaways etc. This not only causes an unsightly mess but also potentially damages the environment too. However, a new initiative has recently been launched in Bramley to combat the problem locally. The “Love where you live” campaign is the result of dialogue between retired councillor Malcolm Brown, local residents and McDonalds restaurant. Tim Smith, the assistant manager, at the Bramley branch of McDonalds told Spotlight, “As we are the leading brand in this area, and our packaging is heavily branded, it is something we are very conscious about as a store and company. We do trash walks around the store at least five times a day and send our maintenance man out to do a community trash walk where he visits right up to the local housing estates picking up rubbish of all kinds. Despite us committing to this it’s still an issue and
30
it’s frustrating.” Describing the aims of the campaign he continued, “As a starting point we send out at least eight volunteer staff members to a different area of Bramley once a month. The area, chosen by the local residents and councillors, will be where there is a particular problem.”The first event was held on 14th June and was focused on the local youth club as this location had been identified as a specific nuisance. Many bags of rubbish were collected and the day was considered a great success by all who took part. The removal of so much rubbish can only have a beneficial effect on the local environment. Other businesses and local people are very much encouraged to join in the campaign. Help can be given by joining the next litter pick day, which will be anounced in the next issue or even by simply discussing the campaign with as many people as possible to raise awareness of the issues. The aim of the campaign is not only to clean up but also to change people’s mindset about how they dispose of their rubbish and the subsequent impact it has on the local environment and community. The greater the number of people that take part substantially increases the likely success of the campaign. If you “Love where you live” and would like to get involved please keep checking the pages of Spotlight and we will keep you informed.
