A warm welcome everyone to the Christmas edition of Spotlight. It strikes me that there are many different ways as to how people approach the festive season. The ultra organised will have had all their presents and cards bought, wrapped and written by the end of the last January sales! The lastminute.com’ers will soon be engaged in a frenetic shopping spree, buying totally unsuitable, over priced gifts; which will inevitably end up at either a boot sale or re-gifted before Easter. Whichever one you are, here’s hoping you have a great christmas! Spotlight magazine is delivered to 6,000 homes and businesses in the North Mansfield / Edwinstowe / Ollerton area each month, with similar magazines going to Mansfield South, Mansfield Central and West Bridgford To Advertise or contribute: T: 01623 706570 E: info@spotlightlocal.co.uk Web: www.spotlightlocal.co.uk

Asbestos: the time bomb Asbestos, a once valued friend, is now a feared foe and the time bomb is ticking for those exposed to asbestos even as long as 50 years ago. Whilst intact, asbestos cement locks in harmful fibres but it is when it is disturbed that the danger arises. Microscopic fibres become airborne and can be breathed into the lungs where they become lodged. There, the fibres may lie unnoticed for many years before any disease develops. It can take between 20 and 50 years or more for this silent, hidden time bomb to explode. The diseases it can cause include mesothelioma, asbestosis and pleural thickening – and the
number of people diagnosed with asbestos illnesses is expected to peak over the next decade. For many years, asbestos use was not regulated and, even when the dangers became known, employers were not all quick to provide employees with adequate protection and warnings of the risks it posed. Even innocent family members have been affected by asbestos dust being shaken from their relatives’ clothing on their return home from work. At Dedicated Asbestos Solicitors, we have represented asbestos sufferers and their families and recovered compensation for the failure of former employers to properly guard against the risks of asbestos exposure. Successful claims have been brought even though the exposure to asbestos was many years ago and the former employer is no longer in existence. We do this by locating the insurers of the former employer and seeking payment from them. If a relative has died due to asbestos exposure, a claim for compensation may be brought on behalf of their estate for their illness and losses incurred before death.
In addition, there may be a claim for compensation for the bereavement and the financial losses sustained by any dependants left behind. If you think that you might have an asbestos claim, it is important to contact specialist asbestos solicitors. At Dedicated Asbestos Solicitors, we are accredited by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers as experts in this field. No win-no fee arrangements are available so that you can relax in the knowledge that you will not have to pay towards our high quality legal service and that you will receive your compensation payment in full, without any deductions of any type.

embellishments to accentuate the bust line. In addition, the skirt should define the waist and loosely skim the hips.
When selecting the ideal LBD, pay attention to the cut, style and length.
Wide shoulders can be minimised by wearing a one shoulder style, and by avoiding a full or blouson top and fitted bottom.
Petite frames look good in short dresses – they elongate the legs - but if you want your LBD to last more than a season or two the most enduring, universally flattering length is around the knee. If you have a large chest, try a square, V-shaped or wrap neckline, and avoid puffy sleeves that will add unwanted volume. Pear shaped ladies should balance out a larger bottom half by wearing a top with

Board Games “They’re anything but boring” Despite the increasing popularity of computer and electronic games, good old fashioned board games still have their place. There are websites dedicated to fans of the genre, and when I posted a request on Facebook for recommendations, I was inundated with suggestions. Yes, a passion for this type of gaming is still very much alive! As a child I spent rainy Saturday afternoons sprawled across the living room carpet engrossed in a game of Monopoly. British weather being what it is, mum would entertain us three children for several hours with this rather long winded game that has aptly been renamed ‘Monotony’ by some! The most memorable games always involved dad. He was kind, fair and compassionate by nature, but once involved in a game of Monopoly, a much darker side would emerge. If he met with bad luck at the start, he would tug at our heart strings, persuade us to part with valuable properties for next to nothing, talk us into letting him off rent, and then end up winning by placing about fourteen hotels on Park Lane! Merciless, totally merciless. Scrabble is another favourite. Mum and I have enjoyed many an hour challenging one another’s wits and word power. It’s a great way to improve vocabulary and
8
spelling skills, but neither is actually required to win. Dad was notorious for his somewhat unorthodox spellings and when it was his turn, he would pour over the board for what seemed like hours, giving mum time to make a drink, eat a round of toast and watch the latest episode of Coronation Street, before placing his three letter word that included an x and z over a triple letter word-score and earning himself in excess of 100 points. Strategy was always the key, and he was not lacking in that department! I remember the time the family played Pictionary on a caravan holiday. We laughed and teased and giggled at one another’s attempts at drawing, but none were as funny as dad’s rendition of a horse. It took us the best part of an hour to identify it and the cup and saucer that followed weren’t much better! Fun, friendship and family time together are all reasons why board games continue to be as popular now as ever. Nothing can replace that feeling of camaraderie that comes with physical proximity as you nudge elbows and knock knees, or even the board itself, while engrossed in the very serious business of trying to beat down your opponents. All the better if those opponents are blood-relatives! More recent additions to our games cupboard include Blokus, Rummikub and Uno, but there is a whole host of games out there just waiting to be discovered and enjoyed! Go get yourself one!

It’s That Man Again!
es that one...it might be your dad, your brother or your favourite uncle. You don’t want to buy socks but you’re darned if you do know what to buy them. Relax, we’re here to help. Is the problem that your difficult male is too cool for anything as mundane as socks? Try Rough Trade’s Album Club (www. thealbumclub.com). Each month your lucky man will receive a package containing the must-have album of the moment – a new musical discovery. For genuine cool it’s hard to beat. Gift subscriptions start at just £24. Perhaps the problem is that your tricky chap has such a unique style that it’s tough to choose anything guaranteed to appeal to his sartorial side. Last year I discovered Bivolino (www.bivolino.com). Here your man can design his own shirt in 3D, and have it custom made. The site has style advice and hints and tips on
designing. It’s rather addictive and I guarantee that if fashion is his thing he’ll have fun. E-vouchers start at £25. Sometimes, and this is especially the case with older men, they really don’t want for anything and secretly dread having to dispose of unwanted smellies and sweets. Socks are useful, but boring. So what about a gift subscription to a magazine? There’s a title for pretty much any interest, including current affairs, history, psychology and sport. Many can be purchased for downloading to a tablet or phone. The final male is the trickiest to satisfy. He’s grumpy and unappreciative, no matter what, so in this case I’d recommend a charity gift. That way at least someone somewhere in the world will appreciate your generosity! Happy hunting. By Sarah Davey

Quick Fix for Your Hair Volume In A Flash When your hair is flat and lifeless add body and volume by using a root lift spray on dry hair. Tip your head upside down and lift hair away from scalp, rubbing spray into the scalp in a circular motion. For even better results, blast the roots with a hair dryer as you do this, then spray the roots from a few inches away with a strong but lightweight hairspray, flip head back up and gently smooth into style.
Adios To Greasy Roots When you don’t have time to wash greasy hair, there are are a few tricks you can use to degrease. The cheapest is to sprinkle a little talcum powder onto the roots to soak up excess oil, don’t go too mad with the powder though or you will be left with a greyish tinge toyour hair!
Stop The Frizz When wavy or curly hair goes frizzy, it is usually due to humid weather conditions. There are many products on the market now to help combat this, usually in the form of creams or sprays, these put a coating on the hair which act like an umbrella. When dryness is the cause, use a serum on towel dried hair, then rub a tiny bit in from the mid lengths to ends once the hair is dry.
Covering Up Regrowth When your roots need doing, but you have no time to get them done, there are now a few products available on the market designed especially for this purpose, there is a powder that just washes out, and a pen that does the same. The colour choice is a bit limited, but you should be able to find one near enough to your colour to do the trick. A longer lasting solution is a colour specifically made to blend your re-growth into the existing colour, you just put it on your roots, leave for ten minutes, then wash off, giving you a few weeks grace before having to re colour.
Banish Bed Head If you look like Worzel Gummage every morning and you do not want to wash your hair every day, try sleeping on a satin pillow. Satin allows hair to glide across the pillow as opposed to cotton which creates more friction, disrupting the hair cuticles. www.spotlightlocal.co.uk • 0115 822 4995 • info@spotlightlocal.co.uk e mail us at info@spotlightlocal.co.uk

Let’s Ditch Secret Santa Secret Santa is a trial by ordeal - really! It’s one more gift to buy; one we may resent buying, and let’s face it, most Secret Santa gifts are pretty naff. So what could replace Secret Santa? We wracked our brains and came up with a few ideas. A Giving Tree: People bring in nonperishable goods and place them under a tree. The goods are then made up into hampers and taken down to a local homeless shelter or church, where they can be distributed. It’s a win-win situation because no-one has to take home a garden gnome, or floral bubble bath they’ll never use, they’re giving to those in need instead. Charity Swap: People bring in one really nice item of clothing and a pound coin. In return they receive a numbered ticket. The clothing is donated to a charity shop and the pound is put into a fund. Finally a ticket is drawn and someone wins the fund.
If the workplace (and therefore the fund) is large, it can be divided into smaller prizes. So there’s a chance of winning some cash and a charity benefits. What’s not to like? Quiz-Pick: Everyone brings in something - could be home made goodies or an unwanted DVD from the previous year. None of the gifts are wrapped, but they’re all placed on display. Everyone picks a numbered ticket out of a hat, and in order they get to answer a Christmas quiz question e.g. name all of Santa’s reindeer. If they get the question right, they get to choose a gift: if not, they have to wait until their turn comes round again. It’s fun and inexpensive, though of course there’s always the chance you’ll end up with that garden gnome! By Sarah Davey

Elf and Safety at Christmas!
e’ve all met them - those odd souls who bound up to us on the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve, informing us that there are just 358 days until next Christmas. They seem thrilled at the prospect of another season of peace and good will to all men, whilst we’re still recovering from the last one, grateful to have emerged unscathed.
Nothing less than total vigilance is called for. Do not open beer bottles with your teeth, or leave fairy lights on unattended, nor should you use a knife as a substitute for a screwdriver, pair of scissors or tooth pick. Every year, dozens of people are admitted to Accident and Emergency departments over the Christmas period having done one, (or in some cases more than one) of these.
There are health warnings about any number of things, but Christmas rarely features. Yet there are all kinds of dangers lurking behind innocent looking fairy lights and seemingly innocuous novelties. A whopping 31 people have died since 1996 from watering their Christmas tree while the lights were still on, others have suffered broken arms from pulling Christmas crackers (really?!), and each year a couple of people die after testing 9 volt batteries on their tongue!
And finally... the Food Standards Agency tells us that some ten million turkeys are sold every year at Christmas. They also tell us that 20 percent of all cases of food poisoning are poultry-related, so you can see there is a capacity for disaster lurking inside almost every oven in the land.
These facts and figures are not for the faint hearted, nor is paying a visit to Father Christmas apparently. Experts say that small children often find a trip to Santa ‘terrifying’ and that responsible adults should take appropriate action to lessen the trauma. I must admit, I do possess a photo of my daughter looking highly distraught, whilst a white haired, bearded stranger desperately tries to wrestle her back on to his knee. We all know the dangers of drinking and driving, but did you know that accidents have occurred involving out of control toy racing cars? The police warn us to stay at home when the weather is bad, but not if there is a novice Scalextric driver on the loose! Incidents with unfamiliar toys rate in the top three causes of accidents at Christmas.
How many of us check our oven temperatures using a thermometer? And how many more of us are still eating left-overs a week later. Make an oven thermometer top priority this year, and freeze left-overs or dispose of them after three days. Wherever you are, and whatever you’re up to this season, take care and have a very happy (and safe) Christmas, then exhale because it’s a full 358 days before you have to do it all again.
By Debbie Singh-Bhatti
When my sister and I dropped the odd Lego brick, we knew dad had found it when we heard a loud howl and saw him hopping around on one foot. Treading on broken toy parts, or being stabbed by pins left in shirts, may result in a trip to casualty.

CHOCOLATE IS A SUPER-FOOD!! Just the word is nice to say; CHO...O...L...A.T.E.......it rolls off your tongue indulgently, but what actually is it and why is it good for you? CHOCOLATE- THEOBROMA CACAO is made from the cacao bean. This is inside a pod which believe it or not grows on tress. The beans are sorted and then crushed in a mill, next they are roasted which and mixed with liquid coca mass (the white bit that surrounds the cacao beans) this silky liquid is sweetened and turns into to that delicious goo we call chocolate. Chocolates dark past... Chocolate is known the world-over as the ‘feel-good’ food, a therapeutic and ancient whole food and an indulgent treat. But what are the true origins of this culinary versatile delight? For sure it’s been around for centuries but it’s come a long way from the chocolate Mars bar we see on a shop shelves today. The history of chocolate chequered past starts in the new world .It’s known that the Aztecs and Mayans created a drink made from the beans of the cacao tree. They called the beverage cocoatl. In 1528, the conquering Spanish brought the concoction known as chocolate (choco- LAH-tay) back to Spain. In 1615, chocolat (sho-co-LAH) debuted at a royal wedding in France. From there, it made its way to England in 1662 as chocolata. The first chocolate house was opened in London in 1657. Chocolate cost 10-15 shillings per pound and was considered a beverage for the elite class. Chocolate is a super-food! This humble cacao been that is the origin of what we know as chocolate is grown in Ecuador, Brazil, Mexico Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Peru and The West African countries of cote de ivory and Ghana. All of these cultures a have been using chocolate for medicinal means for a long while like moisturizing skin with cacao butter cream. Chocolate contains powerful antioxidants called flavonoids, as well as some magnesium. These nutrients may help lower blood pressure and reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. So chocolate is what Nutritionists call a super-food. Raw chocolate is highest in anti-oxidants but dark chocolate is the most nutritious common form of chocolate. Compared with milk chocolate, it contains more than double the amount of heart-healthy flavonoids. Milk chocolate has another strike against it: The added milk it contains may reduce the body’s ability to absorb the beneficial flavonoids. To enjoy the delicious taste of chocolate and receive the benefits of flavonoids, choose a dark-chocolate variety that contains at least 70 percent cacao, or cocoa.

News from your MP
O
Mark Spencer MP
n the approach to Christmas it can sometimes feel like we might as well move in to our local supermarkets –presents, decorations, drink and of course all that food. In the UK, large grocery retailers account for around 85% of the total grocery markets with Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and Tesco accounting for two thirds of the total. Those numbers probably don’t come as a surprise to many of you; supermarkets have come to dominate family shopping in the UK and they undoubtedly provide a service to millions of us in our everyday lives. I believe that with that enormous power, we have the right to expect responsibility from our supermarkets both to their customers and to their suppliers. Any regular readers will know I’m a farmer and that backing British produce is something I’m very passionate about which is why I’m going to be working, as part of a Bill Committee, on proposals for a Grocery Adjudicator . Many of you will have seen local farmers’ tractors and trailers heading up and down the A614 taking carrots and parsnips destined for our supermarkets and it is vital that these businesses can continue to function, make a profit and employ local people. Now ‘adjudicator’ is not a word most people would regard as exciting or revolutionary but these proposals aim to protect the independent suppliers who provide our supermarkets with fantastic British produce, keeping them in business and keeping our need to import all our food down. In short, if these proposals are successful and executed properly, the Adjudicator could protect the future of British farming. But why do we need one? Supermarkets in the UK have enormous purchasing power and in the past there have been allegations that this power has been abused to drive down prices paid to primary producers. Classic examples include the buy one get one free offers we’ve all come to expect: it is not always the supermarket who incurs the cost of that ‘free’ product. Instead, farmers are often told at the last minute that in order to accommodate these deals, they
20
will not receive the agreed price and will instead be paid less. I do not believe that anyone would regard this practice as being fair but the farmer is in a bind: does he refuse to accept the lower price and find himself lumbered with a perishable crop he can’t shift quickly or does he agree to take the lower price and cut his losses? Similarly, does he complain, perhaps even have his complaint upheld, but face being blacklisted for future contracts? The goal of the Adjudicator is to stop this situation from arising by enforcing a code of practice – the Groceries Code - on supermarkets and by being able to ‘name and shame’ those supermarkets who do take advantage of their strength against smaller retailers, allowing consumers to make an informed choice about where to take their custom. These changes will only apply to the 10 retailers with an annual turnover of more than £1 billion – it seems entirely reasonable to me that rather than pushing the cost of their marketing pitches onto small retailers or indeed shoppers, giant supermarket chains should be expected the absorb discount costs themselves. My goal on this committee will be to ensure the Adjudicator really has teeth and I’ll keep pushing to promote and protect British business and food production, but customers have a role to play too. Times are tough, we all know that but we need to bear in mind that when products are on offer in the supermarket, at present, it isn’t some giant faceless company taking the hit for us that week but rather it is very likely that a local producer has borne the brunt of that discount and if we allow supermarkets to continue these practices, that small scale local producer may not be around for next Christmas In the meantime, may I take this opportunity to wish you and your families a very happy Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous new year.

Dukeries Lions and U3A Edwinstowe and the Dukeries Lions Club has had a busy time lately raising funds to be used for local and national charities. Our Race Night in September proved to be as popular as ever and helped to swell our coffers as did our Ceilidh on 10th November All the money raised at our fund raising events is distributed to charity without any deductions! On October 20th we celebrated our 33rd birthday with a Charter Dinner and Disco at South Forest Leisure Centre where some sixty guests enjoyed a great meal and a fun evening. During the course of the evening our President Tony Pink pointed out that during the past year we have raised and donated over £7000.00 . Charities , Organisations and individuals that have benefited include Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice,Lifespring Church Christmas Hamper Appeal, National Search and Rescue Dogs Association and many more too numerous to mention. The club also paid the air fares for the family of a sick young lad so that they were able to accompany him to Euro-Disney. Lion President Tony also presented a framed testimonial to Past President Lion John Whitlam in recognition of his unselfish service to our club. Lion John has served as President for five of the last seven years, he also received a Past President’s Badge and a Voucher for dinner for two at The Copper Beech. We are now preparing for our annual Santa’s Sleigh Pull around the villages and are hoping that the weather will be kinder to us this year and we will be able to visit a greater area. Do look out for Santa’s sleigh in your area, the children love to see him!! All members of Edwinstowe and The Dukeries Lions Club wish you all a very happy Christmas and a good New Year. We are always looking for new members to help us raise money for those less fortunate than ourselves. If you would like to join us please contact us by ringingLion Vice President Lion Jon Yarwood on 07581265531 or 01623 411136

DUKERIES U3A During November and December the Dukeries University of the 3rd Age have been busy celebrating the closure of 2012 with Christmas parties. I say Christmas parties, plural, because, in addition to the general Christmas party that took place in December at the Jubilee Hall, Ollerton, several of our interest Groups have held their own Christmas parties. Parties were arranged by the Gardening Group, the Tuesday Luncheon Club and the Sunday Lunch Group. 2012 has been a significant year for the Dukeries U3A. Our membership has continued to grow throughout the year and several new Groups have been formed. We now have a Wine Appreciation Group, competently managed by Mary Morris; a Holidays/Theatre Breaks Group run by Cynthia Davies; a thriving Scrabble Group (personally recommended!) organised by Carrie Woolnough; and the formation of a Yoga Group is nearing completion. We are a supportive, self-help organisation with members contributing towards our local U3A in many different ways. The Chairman, Officers, Committee Members and Group Leaders all give their time and their expertise on a voluntary basis for the benefit of all fellow members and 2012 has seen, not only the growth of the membership, but a pulling together of all participants of the Dukeries U3A for the common good. It is no exaggeration to say that we are one of the friendliest U3As in the area. We are still looking for a few more members, so why not find out more about us by coming along to one of our monthly meetings. Meetings are held at 1pm on the third Monday of each month. Our next meeting is on 21st January, 2013. It only costs £1 to attend - and our Greeters will put you at your ease, introduce you to our activities and make you feel welcome. If you are retired or semi-retired (no age limits) and you would like more information please call either 01623 824789 or 01623 862827.

New Leaf
f stopping smoking is on your list of New Year’s resolutions for 2013, why not think about contacting New Leaf for support? New Leaf is the local NHS Stop Smoking Service for Nottinghamshire County & last year we helped over 3,500 people to stop smoking! Research has shown that you are 4 times more likely to quit successfully with our help than trying to go it alone. With convenient, community based clinics across the county, along with weekend, daytime & evening appointments we can offer a personal support service. You can receive your support by seeing an advisor face to face, (in a one-one, or group clinic) or by telephone, text or email. We can offer 8 forms of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT). For those who don’t pay for prescriptions, we can offer 12 weeks worth free of charge. For those who do pay, the cost is a one-off prescription charge of £7.65. We can also provide information, advice & GP referral letters for Zyban & Champix.
The health benefits of stopping smoking begin almost immediately after quitting – it only takes 20 minutes from your last cigarette for blood pressure & pulse rates to return to a more normal level, and only 24 hours for Carbon Monoxide to leave your system. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never tried to quit before, or if you’ve tried 100 times before! A warm, non-judgemental welcome awaits you, and there is no limit to how many times someone can access the service. Why wait until the January rush to make your appointment?! You can contact New Leaf today by calling 0800 389 7712, or by texting ‘Leaf’ to 80800 & get your appointment booked, so that you’re prepared & ready to go on 01 January 2013. Make 2013 the year you quit for good with New Leaf!

Health & Wellbeing The Morning After........
Y
our head is pounding; you feel nauseated, dizzy and shaky. No, you’re not coming down with ‘flu - it’s the morning after the night before and you have a hangover.
Across the centuries and around the globe some very peculiar hangover cures have been formulated. For example, Mongolians swear by a concoction of pickled sheep’s eyeballs washed down with a brine and tomato juice cocktail. Sorry, did that make you feel worse? How about this less revolting but equally bizarre remedy from ancient Ireland: hangover sufferers should be buried neck-deep in damp river sand! Or you could make the famous ‘Prairie Oyster’: carefully crack an egg into a glass
without breaking the yolk. Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce and swallow whole. Oh dear, that’s making me think of the sheep’s eyes again. More sensible, but less dramatic, is to take the recommended dose of Paracetamol with lots of water. Then drink some more water and take an antacid to settle your stomach. If possible, go back to bed. When you’re ready to eat, have a banana to replace minerals lost due to alcohol, or have a good fry-up if you prefer. Other recommended mineral-rich foods are pickles or canned fish… but it’s understandable if you don’t want to try these. Get outside for some fresh air too. Of course, the only way to avoid a hangover is not to drink alcohol, but hey - it’s Christmas. So drink in moderation, don’t mix your tipples, and alternate with soft drinks. That way you’ll enjoy a hangover-free party season! Suki North

Who’s taking you home tonight?
M
ansfield District Council is reminding people out partying in Mansfield this Christmas to make sure they plan ahead and get home safely by using a licensed Private Hire vehicle or taxi.
checks. They are also required to pass a knowledge test about the local area. If you have any concerns about taxis in Mansfield, make a note of the vehicle’s license number, which will be on a plate on the rear of the vehicle and the driver’s name (if possible) and call the Council’s Licensing Department on 01623 463 401.
A Private Hire vehicle is one which must be pre-booked through an operator. You are not insured to travel in one which has not been pre-booked. Private Hire vehicles CAN NOT be flagged down in the street.
Cllr John Smart, Chairman of the Licensing Committee at Mansfield District Council, commented:
A Hackney Carriage (taxi) is either all black or black and white and will have the word Taxi illuminated on the top and CAN be flagged down in the street or from the following ranks: Edwinstowe
