INTRODUCTION Hello readers and welcome to your October/November edition of the Scunthorpe Journal!

We can barely believe that the summer months are well and truly over but autumn brings with it lovely crisp mornings and warm woolies, which we are all for! It’s also Halloween this month, which for me signifies the start of winter - dark nights and the run-up to Christmas. How quickly has the year flown by?!

If you’d like a boost for your business in the lead up to Christmas, which for many is the busiest time of year, please do get in touch with our friendly team to see how the Scunthorpe Journal and our sister publications could help. We have worked with so many businesses this year who have truly felt the benefit of featuring in our publications.

We received such a positive response to our last issue - it’s great to show Scunthorpe’s

For now, sit back with a cuppa and enjoy this issue. We’ll see you again in December!

This edition we focus on Andrew’s Hedgehog Hospital

A prickly issue

Page 8

Please mention Scunthorpe Journal when calling advertisers

October/November 2018 - Issue 10

Frank and Veronica Tett had their hearts stolen back in 1993 when someone knocked on their door and presented them with three baby hedgehogs that had been found in the street

Frank said: “We were known as the crazy couple who were mad about animals, which is true! Although we had handled orphan kittens, puppies and guinea pigs before we knew nothing about hedgehogs.

“Luckily, only five miles away, was ‘Hedgehog Care’, a rescue centre run by Elaine Drury, and after giving us detailed instructions, we left Elaine’s with three baby hoglets less than two weeks old.”

One of the hoglets died, which left a male and a female, which Frank and Veronica named Sally and Linford. A love for the prickly creatures grew and Andrew’s Hedgehog Hospital was born. They now have a triage and an A&E (the kitchen), an isolation ward (a fully fitted outside shed), an intensive care ward (the spare room), a nursery (bedroom) a recovery and overwintering ward (a converted barn) and an outside hedgehog village for housing hogs before release.

Marlborough as its patron. The hospital will be built in three phases. Phase one is to build a hospital capable of transferring the present facilities into a new building. £50,000 has already been raised and Andrew’s needs to raise a further £50,000 to plan to open phase one in March 2019.

Phase two will be to add full veterinary facilities, including an education centre, laboratory and research centre and phase three will be to extend to a full wildlife hospital.

Frank said: “It is essential to point out that Andrew’s is not where it is today solely because of our efforts but as a result of a wonderful army of dedicated volunteers and public support.”

If Scunthorpe Journal readers would like to support Andrew’s, and visit the website www.andrewshedgehoghospital.org.uk or ‘like’ the Facebook page.

Frank said: “Andrew’s grew and grew and by 2017 we had taken in 521 sick and injured hedgehogs.

Last year we made the decision that, as neither of us are getting any younger, we would like to leave a legacy and the decision was made to build a fully operational hedgehog hospital, with the hope of extending it to a full wildlife hospital.”

Andrew’s Hedgehog Hospital was registered as a charity in March 2016 with the Duke of To advertise, please contact 01724 622004 or email info@createtvt.co.uk

SCUNTHORPE WINNER TAKES IT A singer in an Abba tribute band from Scunthorpe is celebrating after receiving not just one, but two amazing prizes in the People’s Postcode Lottery Amanda was ecstatic to discover her postcode, DN16 3FT, had been drawn as a winner and scooped a cash prize for a staggering £25,000, as well as the keys to a brand new BMW. After finding out what she had won, Amanda said: ”What an amazing surprise – I’m totally gobsmacked! When Judie pulled out the second golden envelope and I found out I’d won the car as well it was the cherry on top of the cake. Nothing like this ever happens to me – I’m completely lost for words and just can’t get my head around it!”

After celebrating the windfall with her husband

Jack and a bottle of champagne, Amanda plans to go on the trip of a lifetime.

She said: “It’s always been my dream to go to Australia but up until now it’s never been a possibility because of affordability. It’s so exciting knowing I’ll be able to go now and that I can share the experience with Jack and our three children!”

Offering her congratulations, People’s Postcode Lottery Presenter Judie McCourt said” “It was my absolute pleasure to meet Amanda and present her with two incredible prizes. I hope she enjoys spending her winnings and driving her brand new car!”

Organisations come together for Winterton makeover

As part of national ‘We Care Day’ in September, over 30 staff and volunteers from housing provider Ongo embarked on a huge neighbourhood makeover in Winterton

We Care Day was created by Placeshapers, which is a national network of more than 100 community-based housing associations. The aim of the day was to encourage members to volunteer time to give back to their communities.

Paul Grimley, Housing Management Team Leader at Ongo said: “Our promise is that everything we do is put back into local communities, so events like the We Care Day fit perfectly. For us, it’s what makes the job worthwhile.”

Ongo coordinated teams throughout the day to complete the big clean-up, with help from partner organisations such as Scunthorpe’s Buildbase, the Probation Service, North Lincolnshire Council, Humberside Police and Veolia Waste Management.

Steve Marris, Branch Manager at Scunthorpe Buildbase, said: “Supporting community projects is something we feel is important, so when Ongo got in touch to tell us what they were planning we didn’t think twice about getting involved.”

Residents also got involved, with four skips being filled with waste from homes and gardens in the area. Other activities to improve the look of the estate included litter picking, fence painting, grass cutting, flower planting and restoring fences.

Lisa Hall, who is one of our tenants living on the estate, added: “I think it’s absolutely brilliant what Ongo did. They’re really committed to making a difference, and are doing a great job of tackling issues head on.”

Lindsey Lodge

The Hospice is to hold its first ever charity ball on Saturday 17th November Tickets for the ball are now on sale, with the event giving you the chance to dress to impress for a glittering evening of fine food and live entertainment - all in a redcarpet setting at The Baths Hall in Scunthorpe.

Lindsey Lodge Hospice Chief Executive, Karen Griffiths, said: “We’re delighted to be offering our Winter Ball as a new flagship event in our fundraising calendar!”

She added: “Not only will this offer a perfect opportunity for people

Page 14

Please mention Scunthorpe Journal when calling advertisers

October/November 2018 - Issue 10

to enjoy a great night out, our guests will also be helping to raise vital funds to help Lindsey Lodge Hospice continue to support local patients and their families who are living with a life-limiting illness.”

“We’re run as an independent charity to provide free of charge, specialist palliative care to patients and families living in North Lincolnshire. Last year alone we provided 2,160 overnight stays in its Inpatient Unit and had 2,090 attendances to its Day Care Unit.”

Karen added: “Our running costs are around £3.3million this year, and with less than 20% of our funding coming from the NHS, we rely on fundraising activities and donations.

We hope people will come along and support our Winter Ball, in the knowledge they’ll be making a really difference for our charity.”

A £50 ticket (or £400 for a table of eight) promises guests a sparkling drinks reception at 7pm, followed by a delicious three-course dinner, live entertainment and music from the brilliant Rolling Keys, as well as lots of exciting surprises throughout the evening.

Dyslexia Awareness Week in October Dyslexia is a term that most parents and teachers are familiar with, but did you know that 1 in 10 people in the UK struggle with some form of condition?

Clare Powell, from Kip McGrath’s Tuition Centre in Scunthorpe, is an experienced teacher and an expert in identifying dyslexia.

Clare said: “In a modern education system where reading, writing and exam success is so prominent, dyslexic students can really struggle with low self-esteem.

“The new curriculum in England and Wales has removed the coursework for English and focuses more on spelling and grammar, making it even harder for dyslexic students to succeed.”

• Inability to remember times tables, months of the year

A dyslexia screening test to identify the weak areas is the ideal place to start so you know what challenges you are dealing with.

A structured multi-sensory teaching programme can really make a huge difference in confidence and reading levels.

HOROSCOPES Oct/Nov October/November 2018 - Issue 10

Aquarius

(20th Jan-18th Feb) You are the humanitarian of the zodiac and it’s time to express your originality and inventiveness in your job and eliminate what’s not working.

Pisces

Gemini

(21st May-20th June) Look at what you eat and how much sleep you get.

Exercise regularly and make changes in these areas so that you create a vibrant, healthy mind/ body/spirit.

Cancer

(19th Feb-20th March) Normally gentle and compassionate, it will surprise you how easy it will be to blast anything out of sight that prevents you from expressing your inventiveness.

(21st June- 22nd July) You’ve had to be more responsible for your feelings and emotional well-being. You’ll have one more opportunity to create internal support structures.

Aries

Leo

Libra

(23rd Sept-22nd Oct) If you’re cashing in now, it’s because you deserve it.

You’re reaping what you’ve sown over the last 12 years as it appears that everyone is your raving fan.

Scorpio

(23rd Oct-21st Nov) Expect things to really heat up as you become at one with your passion.

When you’re focused on your heart’s desire, there’s no one more determined and relentless than you.

Sagittarius

(21st March-19th April) While you are always prepared to go it alone because others can’t keep up with your pace, you know that when you align with others, it’s much more fulfilling.

If there is friction at home or underlying tension, try to remember when you felt similar energies as a child. Create an amazing present out of that past.

(22nd Nov-21st Dec) Wherever you need clarity and direction in your life, ask for answers in your dreams, because while the body sleeps the soul never does.

Taurus

Virgo

Capricorn

(20th April-20th May) Normally you abhor confrontation, but underneath that desire for peace your soul wants greater intimacy and the only way is to be willing to dance in the fire.

(23rd July-22nd Aug)

(23rd Aug-22nd Sept) Don’t be so anal about everything having to be just so.

You can miss the miracle of life if you’re so focused on every little detail.

(22nd Dec-19th Jan) Take a long hard look at the quality of your relationships, both personal and business.

This is a great time to set boundaries and ask for what you want.

Local county pool team only one win away from National Finals!

Humberside County A team, playing out of Showmans Sports Bar in Scunthorpe, are only one successful game away for the finals

Colin Finn, owner of Showmans Sports Bar and Humberside County A team player, said: “Scunthorpe’s leading pool team are making waves in the EPA Inter-County tournament with recent wins of 30-14 against a strong Lincolnshire team and 27-17 against Nottingham’s team.

October and away to Nottinghamshire on 18th November. Alongside their success in the InterFinals, some of their players also have a chance at the England trials with their stats; Matt Steeper, Paul Clark, Cameron Dunlop and Paul Jackson all are in positions that they could qualify in, with Matt Steeper at the top of the stats for the region.

“With only one loss all season so far they are setting their sights on getting that final win from two of their remaining games that will see them qualifying for the 2018 National Inter-County Finals!”

The National Finals will be taking place on Friday 1st - Sunday 3rd March 2019 at Vauxhall Holiday Park in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, where county teams from up and down the country will go head to head to be crowned winners.

The remaining games that they will need the match win from are at home to South Yorkshire on 14th
