Community News

“It’s key people leave us feeling better” Every year around 23,000 people are diagnosed with cancer in the Wessex area. A diagnosis can be a shock and have a huge impact on the entire family. That’s why Wessex Cancer Trust is committed to providing free emotional and practical support for anyone affected by cancer at its five support centres, one of which is in Bournemouth. During the first six months of 2019, the Centre saw 578 clients.

Befriending, counselling, support groups and complementary therapies – such as aromatherapy, yoga, reflexology and Reiki are available for patients and their families. Children are welcome, as well as adults of any age, with any type of cancer and at any stage. Visitors can also find out more information about cancer and speak to others going through a similar journey.

Elizabeth Lazell began visiting the Bournemouth cancer Support Centre after being diagnosed with breast cancer. She says: “I think I probably did the typical thing of putting a brave face on it and protecting those around me, but inside I felt emotionally, as well as physically, damaged. Wessex Cancer Trust was there for me. As soon as I walked into the Support Centre it made me cry with relief. It was comforting, kind and gentle. The light is wonderful and the layout makes you feel so calm. I talked with the Centre manager, Emma, as well as befrienders and others who were living with cancer. I had acupuncture and counselling. Some of the most valuable times for me were just sitting and having a cup of tea with others in the centre.

The centre is empathetic about the emotional impacts of cancer and really helps people to feel they’re not alone.”

Other client says: “In October 2017 I was told I had months to live. I’d been diagnosed with a very rare type of blood cancer which affects just 2,500 people in the UK every year. I was told there was no cure and felt shocked, confused and overwhelmed with fear. Because of the

rarity of the disease, I also felt incredibly alone.

As soon as I stepped into the Bournemouth Support Centre I knew I could offload and share my darkest feelings – things I couldn’t say to family members or friends for fear of worrying them, and that I would be listened to without judgement. Miraculously, at one of my regular check-ups, I was told I was getting better.

Coming face-to-face with death has, of course, changed me. I couldn’t have gotten through it without Wessex Cancer Trust. The support they provide is incredible and I’d go as far to say it’s an essential service. I’ve been told my cancer may come back, but I’ve made a decision to stay positive and keep relying on Wessex Cancer Trust. There’s nothing quite like them and I’m incredibly relieved and grateful they’re still besides me on my journey.”

The centre manager, Emma Ormrod, says it’s key that people leave the centre feeling better: “We feel passionately that the Centre should be a haven for anyone living with cancer, where our clients can be themselves without the filtering we sometimes do around our family and friends.

Our trained befrienders offer a sympathetic, nonjudgemental ear to anyone going through what can be a particularly difficult time of their lives. ” The Centre costs £121,000 per year to run. A counselling session costs £40 and a therapy is £37. The Centre relies on help from a number of volunteers, who between them provide around 2,400 hours of befriending time every year.

The centre is open Monday - Thursday between 10am and 4pm, and can be found at Fairview House, 17 Hinton Road, Bournemouth, BH1 2EE. Telephone: 01202 315824 E: bournemouth.centre@wessexcancer.org.uk

Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service.

Group Managing Director Marcus McGee believes that Which? have endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s long standing

company policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 25 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle.

Locally Cloudy2Clear service the Bournemouth area

and manager Justin Friel agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Justin a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Talking about Wildlife...

Reptiles: soaking up the sun in Dorset

Like humans, reptiles love basking in the sun at this time of year. In Dorset we are lucky to have lowland heathland habitat to support all six British native reptile species.

Reptiles are truly magnificent creatures, but they need a very specific habitat to thrive in and can be very sensitive to changes in their environment, which is why all reptile species are legally protected. You also need a license to handle and monitor them.

As reptiles are ectothermic (cold-blooded), they bask in the sun to warm up, and hide away in the shade to cool down again.

During the colder months they hibernate, but in the summer months, reptiles will be enjoying the sunshine and feasting on the delights the heath has to offer, with lizards preying on spiders and insects and snakes favouring small mammals.

As with lots of wildlife species in Dorset, their survival and success is largely due to having well-managed habitat to thrive in.

Dorset Wildlife Trust’s Great Heath team work hard on our heaths to ensure there is sandy soil, low vegetation and not too many trees, to create a dry and warm habitat for reptiles.

If you’re out on the heath this summer, please admire reptiles from a distance, and do not lift metal tins (used for surveying purposes) to see them. Fires can be devastating to a reptile population on heathland so please report any suspicious behaviour on heathland to Dorset Police on 101. In the event of a fire phone 999.

Going Green...

I have great respect for Sir David Attenborough. His recent campaign to make us all much more aware of our current planet problems and just how much we need to care for it, inspired me to do something about it. We are all individuals, and as a team of individuals working together, we can keep our environment safe and prevent unnecessary decay and destruction.

With that in mind I took an honest look at how much plastic I really use. How many items do I possess, and use on a daily basis, that have plastic bottles?

When you really look it is a minefield. We have become so used to plastic, we don’t even see it. It is quite shocking. Becoming overwhelmed usually means nothing gets done as it all seems too much, so it is best to look at the problem one step at a time. My plan in the next few months is to look at some everyday products that can be replaced by not only plastic free containers, but products which are actually BETTER for YOU too!

I looked in the bathroom… and saw no end of shiny, colourful plastic bottles. Oh dear. Soap. Since when did we start purchasing soap in bottles? This is so easy to replace with good quality, wonderful smelling natural soaps. These soaps not only have enhancing properties for your skin, they do not at all harm the environment! I am particularly

fond of the lemongrass soap, but if you look on the website you will see many more. All “Friendly” soaps are Free from Palm Oil, Parabens, Sulphates, Triclosan, Phthalates and Cruelty, as well as being boxed in plastic free recycled (and recyclable) packaging.

Another product (I had at least 3 different plastic bottles of) was shampoo! Again, there are some much more natural products, that leave you hair soft and shiny, are good for your scalp AND are not stored in plastic containers! There is one on the opposite page for you to see. I tried it and have been amazed by the results!

Finally, deodorant. I have tried natural products in the past and been highly disappointed. This one on the following page is incredible. “Earth Conscious” deodorant is aluminium free, paraben free and contains no carcinogens or toxins allowing your body to perspire as nature intended.

The packaging is PLASTIC FREE, recyclable and lightweight, making them perfect for travelling.

If you would like to know more about the products please feel free to visit my website at debbiegoesgreen.wikaniko.com or give me a call on 01202 894397 as I would love to hear from you.

Let’s get plastic free!

Explaining... Lasting Power of Attorney A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a document which legally enables one or more individuals you know and trust, your Attorneys, to have the Power to make decisions on your behalf if you lose Mental Capacity (capacity). Unlike a Will which deals with your estate when you are no longer here, an LPA deals with your Financial and Care decisions while you are alive but lack capacity. There are two types of LPA; a Property and Financial LPA, and a Health and Welfare LPA. Plan for the Future Contrary to beliefs like, “I would never need an LPA”, or “My next of kin will get the final say”, the reality is that everyone needs an LPA, regardless of age or current mental health status. A former Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice said in 2007 when LPA’s were first introduced, “We all know how important it is to plan for the future. Having a Lasting Power of Attorney in place should be as common and natural as making a Will”. Less than 1% of the adult UK population has an LPA. However, 1 in 3 persons on average over the age of 65 in the UK develop dementia (Alzheimer’s Society), and every 90 seconds someone in the UK, is admitted to hospital with an acquired brain injury (Headway).

Four reasons why you should make and register both types of LPA. 1. Choice. You retain the choice of who to appoint as your Attorney’s and how they should act. If you lose capacity without an LPA in place the Court of Protection will have to appoint a Court Deputy to make decisions on your behalf. There is no guarantee this would be someone you would want and could even be a stranger such as a professional listed on the court panel.

2. Costs. For the Court of Protection to appoint a Deputyship the initial application fee is £385 plus all legal fees and ongoing annual fees payable to the court. All of which can run into thousands of pounds. However, to register each LPA with the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) is only £82.

3. Time. To register an LPA with the OPG currently takes 8/10 weeks. A Deputyship application is more time consuming and can take as long as 9 months or more at a time when you desperately need some immediate help.

4. Instructions. LPA’s allow you to specify any instructions you may have for your Attorney’s. These are legally binding and your Attorney’s must follow them.

The earlier an LPA is created and registered the better With an LPA document in place, you have peace of mind and full estate planning control. You would have specifically selected your Attorney’s and given them authority to make Financial and Care decisions on your behalf. LPA’s allow you to choose any Replacement Attorney’s and even a professional Attorney (such as a Trust Corporation), in case your primary Attorney’s are unable or unwilling to act. Finally, if you lack capacity but your Property and Financial LPA is not registered, your Attorney’s would not be able to access your bank accounts to pay for expenses such as care home fees until after they validate your LPA when it is officially stamped and registered with the Office of the Public Guardian. If you hold an account jointly with someone else they will find themselves unable to operate the account until an LPA or Deputyship order is produced to the bank.

Adventures of Daichi

The Adventures of Daichi

The Dorset Directories Camper Van We love Lulworth Cove, so when an aunt, uncle and my Mum and Dad came to stay Daichi, the Dorset Directories Campervan, decided it was a great place to go and whileaway the hours in good company.

Despite this being a really popular place for tourists, there is a large extended car park and Daichi had no trouble finding a place to park his muscular body (really…?) ready for a spot of sunbathing (it is a good job he doesn’t know about speedos…), while we all walked down to the wonderful shoreline.

The Jurassic coast here is quite magnificent. The beautiful almost enclosed cove is quite picturesque.

I could not believe how crystal clear the sea was. Pure diamonds were glistening above a greeny-blue hue.

Just gorgeous. I could have gazed at it for hours.

The rock formations are also fascinating. The Luworth estate website tells us that these rocks are ‘folded’ which means “the sedimentary rocks no longer lay one

Uncle & aunt have an energetic coffee!

Stephen... dreaming of having a boat? on top of the other with the oldest at the bottom and the youngest on the top, but have been twisted so that the oldest rock is nearest to the sea and the youngest inland. Some of the beds have crumbled, twisted and sheared”. The result is a layer of different colours which is quite unique. The whole passage of time and evolving history can be seen at a glance.

Back to today - there is a small pleasure boat here now, that takes people out to sea to bob along the shore and have some family fun on the water. Of course, for those who are more energetic you can take your own kayak, snorkelling equipment, dinghy, boat or paddle board. There is no end of amusement and when the weather is good, it is good for the spirit too.

For those who like walking (as you know I like to sit with Daichi having coffee), there are stunning views from the cliff tops. We have, believe it or not, done this in the past but

27 today was a leisurely day. A crab sandwich and a coffee by the water was as energetic as we got.

What I also love about this area, are the quaint houses and particularly the little sweet shop (ummm…) that used to home a whole family. It is called “The Dolls House” and dates back to the 19th Century.

Here you can also have one of our tasty Dorset Cream Teas or of course any one of the delicious Purbeck icecreams. Maybe a walk would have been a good idea… Daichi keeps telling me I need to lose weight. Oh well, it’s just gotta be done.

The Museum is also interesting and really informative, so for those who like to learn, this is the place to go.

For those who like to shop, this is also the place to go. Lots of local crafts, paintings, fossils and other memorabilia to help remind you of your wonderful day by the sea.

A great day was indeed had by all.

Fortunately, Daichi didn’t get too sunburnt and with a toot of his horn and a skip in his step he danced us home.

Grandma enjoying herself at the Cove Where will he take us next, I wonder?

Gardening Tips

On Your Plot Hoarding

It’s hard to remain excited when you’ve had courgette at every meal for a week, and marvellous though raspberries are there is a limit to just how many you can eat at once. Take a bit of time to store your harvest and you can be enjoying home grown right through the winter.

Jobs for August :-

• Water regularly - try to water either in the evening or early mornings.

• If you are growing main crop potatoes, watch out for signs of blight. Brown patches on the tops and edges of leaves are usually a first sign.

• Pinch out the tops of runner bean stems that are outgrowing their supports.

• Keep harvesting those courgettes!

• Sow turnips and oriental salad plants such as Pak Choi and Chinese Cabbage • Strawberry runners that were potted up in June to produce new plants can be planted out now.

If all has gone to plan (that’s a big if!) then August should be a very satisfying month on your plot, with your hard work being repaid by ample harvests of a good range of fruit and veg.

The reality tends to be that the excitement of seeing your crops grow and ripen is initially followed by much enjoyment of the first fruits of your labour which can soon be replaced by a panic stricken ‘What the heck do I do with all these’! Certain crops (courgettes and tomatoes spring to mind) can almost guarantee this sequence of events!

Sharing with friends and neighbours is great but very often they will have a glut of exactly the same thing at just the same time. What is called for are some simple ideas for storing and preserving your produce. It may be a long time before you are harvesting fresh peas or raspberries again but that doesn’t mean that you can’t be enjoying your home grown produce throughout the winter - it just takes a little planning and now is the time to do it.

Onions (and garlic) that have been lifted and

left to dry can be plaited and hung in a cool, dry place. Net bags, or tights, also work if you don’t fancy plaiting. Potatoes can be stored in boxes or paper sacks in a dark, dry building but you should check them regularly, removing any that show signs of rotting.

A good size freezer is a real boon for making the most of your produce. Blanching and then freezing works for loads of vegetables. Key to success is to cool quickly after blanching so have a bowl of cold water at the ready and don’t forget to label what you are freezing!

Another option, and one that can work well for all those tomatoes, is to find a good recipe that you can cook, freeze and use later (how about a wonderful pasta sauce with your own tomatoes and home grown basil?). Even ‘difficult to freeze’ veg such as courgettes can either be incorporated into a sauce, or blanched, frozen and then added to a stew at a later date.

Cooking and freezing can work well for fruit too - apple or rhubarb are good stewed and frozen all ready for use in a crumble or pie. If you have a truly wonderful fruit crop then why not arm yourself with a good recipe book and get started on some jam making? It’ll be delicious on your toast in the morning, and what better gift than a pot of homemade raspberry jam?

It’s amazing how many books there are that tell you how to grow your fruit and veg, but how little information there is on just how to store it all! One wonderful little book, that deals with just this question is ‘How to store your garden produce’ by Piers Warren. It’s packed with information about how to store just about anything and a great addition to any gardeners library.

Happy harvesting!

Dorset Police Male Voice Choir Dorset Police Male Voice Choir, a registered charity, was established on 4th July 1995 celebrating its 21st Anniversary in 2016 when it was privileged to sing at the American Embassy in London as part of their Independence Day celebrations.

Having started with just 6 members, the choir now numbers 50.

From these small beginnings, the choir has grown, not only in numbers, but also in reputation, with the quality of its singing and breadth of repertoire. The choir aims to promote male voice singing whilst providing enjoyment for its members, supporters, audiences and the wider community.

Whilst the choir has a number of retired police officers within its ranks, there are unfortunately no longer any serving police officers. Notwithstanding this situation, the choir is proud to represent Dorset Police both within and outside of the county.

The choir based in Bournemouth, is led by their Musical Director Dr Jane Oakland along with the choir’s accompanists Lisa Timbs and Sue Stein.

Jane Oakland has been the choir’s Musical

Director since 2009 following her return to the UK from the Netherlands, where she sang primarily with De Nederlandse Opera, but also with Nationale Reis Opera, Groot Omroep Koor and Vlaamse Opera in Antwerp. Since then, Jane has completed a PhD researching career stress for professional musicians.

The Choir has performed throughout Dorset in many concert venues in recent years, having also performed widely in many parts of the UK and internationally in France, Guernsey, Jersey, Ireland and the United States of America.

During the past 23 years the choir has helped to raise in excess of ÂŁ300,000 for local, national and international charities and through its concerts, given numerous young local musicians the opportunity to perform, sometimes for the first time, in public.

The choir is currently recruiting new members and anyone interested should contact the Secretary at:secdpmvc@btinternet.com or visit dorsetpolicemalevoicechoir.co.uk

Tastes so good...

MINI PIZZAS

With these Mini Pizzas you really have the chance to make them your own. Cover them with tomato and cheese and then pick from any number of topping choices: Pineapple and ham, pepperoni or even chicken and sweetcorn. Alternatively create your own unique toppings.

Ingredients 450g strong white bread flour 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil 7g sachet fast-action yeast 350ml warm water 2 tsp. salt

Equipment: Large bowl Oven: 240C, Gas Mark 9, 220C Method: In a large bowl, mix together the yeast, flour and 2 teaspoons of salt. Once this is all mixed together, create a well in the middle. In a separate jug, mix together the oil and the water and then pour into the bowl. Then, work the liquid into the flour mix to create the dough. Leave the bowl to one side for 15 minutes. Create a well-floured surface and put flour on your hands then begin to knead the dough. Do this for about 2 minutes until it is soft and even. Put the dough back in the bowl and cover it with oiled cling film. Leave it once again to one side (preferably in a warm place). When the dough has risen to double its size, heat the oven and place a baking sheet on a high shelf. Then dust another sheet with flour before splitting the dough into 8. Roll 3 balls thinly into circles and put them on the floured sheet. Use a thin layer of sauce on top with some seasoning and cheese of your choice. Bake for 12 minutes until golden then add fresh toppings of your choice and use the rest of the dough to create more!
