Meet a local: Matt Smith Matt Smith lives with his wife and three year old daughter in the local area. He enjoys working locally too and shares how he came to set up a small business.”

Today a relaxed Matt Smith, the man behind Yemanjá Therapy on Southbourne Grove, tells of the rocky road he travelled after leaving school and during the early years of setting up his business. His careers advisor at school told him his best options were limited to two - joining the ‘forces’ or working in a factory!

He took a job in a factory as a sheet metal fabricator and recalls “I felt like a battery hen wondering if this was it ... I didn’t know what I wanted to do in life.”

Observing people around him he noticed the distinct difference in outlook of those with negative, and others with positive, attitudes and saw how attitudes shape what we believe is possible for our own lives. This made an impact and he began listening to motivational speakers and has been practicing positive thinking since then. His evenings and weekends were soon spent training to become a massage therapist. He subsequently trained in Indian Head massage, Reflexology and Shiatsu (a form of Japanese acupressure meridian therapy used to relieve stress).

Developing an interest in methods of quieting the mind he discovered flotation therapy (also now offered at Yemanjá).

His conviction to offering the benefits of therapeutic services to local people saw him walking away from his factory job and working from home. With no experience of business and “no idea of anything business related really” he found the shop by chance and says of setting up

a local service “It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done”. Although the first few years were a challenge the business is now well established and his appreciation of the support of local people is evident.

In Matt’s words “I want to give something more to help our community”. He would now like to donate some of his time to providing free of charge Shiatsu therapy to some of those who donate their time as local volunteers in the community. If you’d like to nominate someone (with their permission) you feel would benefit from a free Shiatsu session, or you want to book any therapy sessions, contact Matt directly on 01202 430577 or at letgo@ yemanjatherapy.co.uk. You can also book online at www.yemanjatherapy.co.uk. Late evening appointments are available on three evenings a week.

Dolphin in Dorset Waters In the UK we are very fortunate to have a variety of whale, dolphin and porpoise species that inhabit our waters year round. Sometimes you have to venture out to sea to encounter these marine mammals however sometimes they approach us. Danny, a male bottlenose dolphin has frequented the Dorset coastline, appearing between Portland and Poole since summer 2018 and occasionally seeks out human contact.

Since he rarely interacts with other dolphins and prefers to live alone but in the vicinity of people he is known as a “solitary dolphin”. It is understandable that people want to get closer to dolphins, however for the welfare of both Danny and the public it is vital that they respect this is a wild animal and do not indulge his inquisitive nature by entering the water or approaching in a vessel closer than 100m. With the summer season upon us it is vital that the public are advised on how to act around the dolphin. As an example concerns were raised during the recent Poole Boat Harbour Show when, over this period, the dolphin was disturbed by excess boat traffic, with many vessels specifically approaching him.

Although it can be tempting to try to get close to these marine mammals, it is always best to view them from a safe and respectful distance, both for their safety and the public’s. Dolphins need their space and as a bottlenose dolphin, Danny is afforded a high level of legal protection from national and European legislation, including from wilful interference. Marine Connection works within the Marine Animal Rescue Coalition (MARC) Solitary

Dolphin Working Group. Our aim, when dolphins such as Danny appear around the UK coastline, is to develop action plans tailored to the protection of each individual solitary dolphin to ensure that they are not harmed or killed. Danny’s welfare is of utmost concern and we all need to work together to protect this accessible dolphin.

Marine Connection’s Programmes Officer Liz Sandeman comments “Dolphins are enigmatic mammals and the excitement they cause when they appear off our shores and people’s wish to see or get closer to them is understandable. However it is vital that the public respect that these are wild mammals that bear no resemblance (except physically) to those in a captive environment and caution around them is required for the safety of the individual animal and other water users. People should view the dolphin from the shoreline and if in a vessel, not change direction to pursue the animal but keep on their original course. We have legislation which makes it a criminal offence in the UK to harass a dolphin therefore maintaining a respectful distance ensures that people are able to view this wild dolphin in his natural environment safely, without any threat to the animals’ welfare.”

My Week at RDF Television This year we were joined by Grace Taylor from Bournemouth School for Girls on work experience. We invited her to share some of the other things she had been involved in at her previous location.

For a week of my work experience, I worked in a television production company in London. It was an amazing week that I was privileged to be able to do. All the people were really welcoming, and it was because of them that I was able to fully enjoy the opportunity.

On my first day, I sat in on a brainstorm for a new programme for Amazon prime. It was truly awe-inspiring to see how the development team’s minds worked.

The way that their ideas all flew around the room was mind-blowing.

The next day was also very interesting and I got to see what it was like for a Runner. These are the people that are there to do all the little, yet vital, jobs. It was very important for me, as someone who wants to work in the industry, to have an insight into the less glamourous parts. Despite this, I was still as ready as ever to get stuck into the television industry.

The third day brought another brainstorm and even more inspiration. For the rest of the day after that, I was doing research for the development team. I never knew how much work went into getting a programme picked up by a company, and that’s just the first step! They had me finding pictures for possible “thumbnails” for the show.

The last 2 days brought even more intrigue. I was given an amazing tour of all the camera equipment.

Who ever knew there were so many different types of tripods? Also, I helped the team of Science of Stupid take inventory of the props needed for their experiments. This gave me the chance to know what it’s like to work on a running production.

Overall, it was an unforgettable experience and I am so grateful to RDF Television for allowing me to have it. It has not only shown me that I do want to work in television, but also made me excited for the future.

Talking about Wildlife...

Summer wildlife At Dorset Wildlife Trust we know summer is here with the arrival of the little terns and the barn owl chicks. Some of nature’s most exciting displays are about to start…

At Lorton Meadows Nature Reserve in Weymouth, the barn owls have already started to rear their chicks. At the time of writing, 5 of 7 eggs have hatched and under the careful watch of their parents, are thriving. Barn owls have been roosting in the box which is specially built into the Lorton Meadows Conservation Centre, since 2010. Last year, we had the most amount of chicks fledge ever (five!), and this year is already looking promising. All this is despite the decline of barn owls nationally. The Lorton Meadows Nature Reserve, which the barn owls hunt for voles and other prey on, seems to have plentiful food stocks. Lack of habitat and nesting space are the main challenges for barn owls, so it’s great that our nature reserve can provide both for these majestic creatures. Watch them live on our webcam, sponsored by Dorset Tea, at www. dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/raptorcam.

Over at Chesil, the little tern project is in full swing, with the first egg appearing on 20th May, nestled in the iconic pebbles of Chesil Beach. Each summer these little Little Tern near Chesil Beach Photo: Angela Thomas

Barn Owl at Lorton

birds arrive in Dorset, migrating from Africa for the summer, to breed on the beach, which is the South West’s only colony. Last year, they broke records with breeding numbers, and despite their numbers dropping to their lowest in 1997, careful management of the habitat by volunteers has ensured their continued survival and growing numbers. Little terns are the smallest of the UK terns and are a fast flying graceful little bird with a black cap on their head and a yellow bill with a black tip. You’ll hear them before you see them – with their distinctive ‘creeking’ call. They are ground nesting birds, so the Chesil little tern project, led by RSPB, concentrates on protecting the colony from predators and reducing disturbance. Before the birds arrive, an electric fence is put up around the colony, and a hide is constructed for the wardens and volunteers to monitor the birds 24 hours a day, and scare off any avian predators. The Fine Foundation Chesil Beach Centre has a viewing platform to view these birds, who are hunting for fish in the fleet lagoon. Bring your binoculars!

Your tree-related questions answered Deciding whom to instruct to carry out your tree works can be daunting, after all, what do we know about the fundamentals of shrubbery?

But beyond these technicalities, it is important to select a company who you have the upmost confidence in — someone who ultimately will work with you and provide a professional, stress free service. So, in the hopes of giving you a head start for finding your perfect local specialist, we asked the experts at Apex Tree Surgeons some of your most common treerelated questions.

If a tree is overshadowing a garden how can the natural light be increased?

Crown raising, tree thinning or reducing the tree’s canopy, are all effective methods to allow more light into the garden.

What rights do homeowners have when a neighbour’s tree overhangs their garden?

A homeowner is responsible for maintaining any tree or hedge that falls within their boundary, however, the owners of the tree have a duty of care to ensure that the tree is safe. If the tree is protected, an application to the Council is required.

How would I know/find out if a tree is protected?

Some councils show protected trees and conservation areas online, where others require you to contact them. As part of our service, we will investigate if your trees are protected and complete any necessary applications on your behalf.

If a tree is uprooting a drive can anything be done?

Yes, root pruning can be carried out which in most cases will overcome this problem.

In more extreme circumstances, tree removal can be an option.

Do you charge for quoting?

No, we carry out all of our quotations for free as part of our service. We will schedule an appointment to visit and advise on the trees in question and send a free of charge, no obligation quotation.

Why should people use you?

We’re under no illusion that tree surgery is at the forefront of everyone’s minds, but when a situation does crop up with regards to a tree or trees in yours, your neighbours or local community’s property, then we are the company to talk to.

We pride ourselves on delivering a professional, reliable and stress free service. From the original quotation right through to completion we work closely with all our clients to really understand their requirements and achieve the result they are looking for.

Contact Apex Tree Surgeons for a FREE QUOTE t. 01202 856404 or 0800 999 9910 e. enquiries@apextreesurgeons.com w. www.apextreesurgeons.com

What should be done if a tree is suspected of being diseased or dying?

Seek a professional such a ourselves to inspect the tree and provide a solution.

We will be able to advise on the disease and how best to resolve the situation so as to avoid further damage to other trees and plants.

The Dorset Directories Camper Van Oh, Daichi the Dashing Dude, our wonderful new Dorset Directories campervan was in full spirits this month and ever so excited to be taking us for our first full camping trip. Nellie, his Grandmother, had told him all about the New Forest Caravan and Motorhome Club Centenary Site in the New Forest.

He could not wait. It was a rather good weekend too, so we did not have to worry about getting wet and cold. Well, that is for later…

One of the main advantages of “Dash” is that he has a really nifty ‘lid’ in that it opens along the side of the van and not from front to back as Nellie’s roof lifted. This means there is a tent-like structure inside the van once the roof is fully opened. Not only can we stand up entirely inside, but Hayden, who is 15 and now taller than me, can not only lie down in the ‘upstairs bedroom’, but can also sit up and read too! This is a huge advantage for a teenager who likes his own space. We, the adults, can sit

We spy with our little eyes...

Daichi settles in for the night... ‘downstairs’ quite happily without needing the awning. For a short trip this is really useful. The Dashing Dude is big enough to take all of us with no squabbling. Bonus!

Being a youngster and ever wanting fun, Daichi had brought the I-Spy books which were perfect for a campsite. “I-Spy Camping” and “I-Spy Vehicles of the Road” were a great entertainment. If you have never tried these, you can get them at any good book shop or online. They can keep children (and us adults…) occupied for hours. We walked around the campsite finding all sorts of different caravans, awnings, cars, trucks and bikes. Daichi was thrilled we had so much fun.

The next day he had planned a Treasure Trail starting at Keyhaven near Milford on Sea. Now I am not a walker and Daichi knows that well, so he tricked me into doing a near seven-mile walk! Really, I could not believe it - seven miles! I have never done that before. The trick you see

29 is to keep me busy… busy looking for clues. One after the other this trail took us from Keyhaven amenity car park to Milford on Sea centre, to Shorefield Holiday Park (how many caravans?) and finally back along the coast! We did it, and boy was I glad to see the pub (now now…) and have a seat in the garden to enjoy lunch, even if it was a bit on the chilly side by then. A well-earned rest was had by all and Daichi was smiling from headlight to headlight, showing off his bright-white grill.

As if that was not enough… the following day we went to the New Forest Aqua Park for a friend’s 50th Birthday Party! This watersports park happens to have 2 trampolines, monkey bars, flippers, slides, hurdles, springboard, rockers, rollers, an overhang climbing wall, a swing and a giant iceberg. Seriously, are we having a laugh? How old do you think I am?

Well in fact all 12 friends, yours truly and another excepted, donned on wetsuits and off they went. Daichi was told he was too heavy and there were no wet suits big enough to fit his muscular, Herculean body.

Ready for action on (or in!) the water

There’s the answer...

He just strutted his stuff and puffed out his wing mirrors in indignation.

Men… After an hour of slip-sliding away, bouncing on air beds, climbing on wet slippery ropes and hauling themselves back onto the floating rafts, the gang came back all smiling (or was it grimacing?) and totally exhausted.

It was a weekend full of highspirited activity (and it wasn’t just the wine). Daichi is proving to be quite an asset I have to say. He maybe a little too energetic for an over 50 mature lady… or maybe not. He may just keep me young at heart! Where will the Dashing Dude take us next - I wonder?

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.

Gardening Tips

36

On Your Plot Start them young

I was an incredibly picky eater as a child. I remember wanting to like tomatoes because they were such a lovely bright colour but still I wouldn’t eat them! It was only after my mother started growing them at home that I finally plucked one straight from the plant and popped it, warm from the sun, into my mouth - delicious!

Jobs for July :• • • •

Make last sowings of carrots and French beans.

Keep harvesting those beans, peas and courgettes.

Sow Spring cabbage.

Lift onions (and garlic if it’s still in) and dry for storing over the winter. Plait and hang (or store in a string bag).

• Remember to feed your tomatoes.

• As crops go over use the free space for quick growing salad leaves or radishes.

• Peg down some of the runners from your strawberries to root into new plants. Remove the remainder.

Would you like to see your youngsters spending more time outdoors and get them eating healthy foods too? Then what better idea than to involve the kids in growing their own?

While we’d all love a string of willing, young, helpers on the vegetable plot you do have to be realistic. Children can have short attention spans, will only want to do the jobs that appeal to them, and usually expect quick results. Us adults on the other hand tend to be stuck in our ways, place great importance in doing things slowly and methodically and don’t usually take well to sudden changes of plan! So how can you encourage your little ones, without boring them out of the garden, or having them dig up your row of prize leeks?

If it is at all possible give children a space that is completely their own on the plot. Get hold of some good quality child size tools and encourage their attempts even if it isn’t quite what you’d have done - if digging holes and making mud pies is more in their line than neat rows of seedlings perhaps they could create a wildlife area? A shallow dish sunk into

the ground can be used by birds, frogs, toads and hedgehogs, and a log pile will be home to all sorts of insects plus providing a possible hedgehog home.

Giant sunflowers are great fun, especially if you have a growing competition, and wild flower seeds can just be scattered and will, in time, encourage useful insects and birds - natural pest control!

Keen young growers can browse seed packets or catalogues to see what takes their fancy. Quick growing crops are a good suggestion - radishes and salad leaves pop up in no time at all and should give them almost instant satisfaction! Sweet young carrots are likely to tempt even picky eaters, as are those lovely little cherry tomatoes. Popping peas out of their pods is very appealing and how about growing their own hideaway in the form of a lush green wigwam of peas or beans? They may not be keen on eating greens, but there is certainly a much better chance that they’ll be tempted to try something they’ve grown themselves.

Fruit, such as strawberries and raspberries is usually popular, and if you haven’t got any of your own planted yet you can always get them enthusiastic by having an afternoon out at the pick your own farm.

Ready grown plug plants can be good for helping them to set up an ‘instant’ plot - take a trip out to the garden centre to see what is on offer. If you already have seedlings started, then they could have the choice of some for their own plot (and you can see whose grows best!). Finally, don’t forget ‘indoor’ growing activities too - clean out the bottom half of a boiled egg and draw a face on it. Fill it with cotton wool soaked in water and sprinkle on some cress seeds - in just a few days the egg man will be growing hair and not only can they cut his hair but they can eat it too.

MasterChef winner to visit the New Forest and Hampshire County Show Jane Devonshire, winner of MasterChef UK 2016 will be making an appearance at the 2019 New Forest and Hampshire County Show which is taking place on 30th, 31st July & 1st August. Jane will be cooking live at The Kitchen by Chewton Glen in the Local Produce Market on Wednesday 31st July at 1.30pm. Jane will be cooking with fresh locally sourced produce from across Hampshire.

Visitors can meet Jane Devonshire after her demonstration at the Hampshire Fare stand in the Local Produce Market where she will be selling and signing copies of her new book ‘hassle free gluten free’. Since winning MasterChef in 2016, Jane Devonshire has taken the bull by the food horns and tested herself further by working with a number of top chefs including Marcus Wareing, Atul Kochhar, Jason Atherton, Michel Roux and Michael O’Hare at their restaurants. Since MasterChef’ inception, over 300 million viewers worldwide have tuned in to watch contestants transform their lives through a passion for cooking and the phenomenon shows no signs of slowing down. Jane has presented at numerous food and drink shows around the UK, including the BBC Good Food Show. Her travels have taken her from Edinburgh to Brighton, in the course of which she has developed a love for presenting her recipes and chatting to people about food.

In addition to the live cooking demonstrations, The Local Produce Market will feature more than 50 tradestands selling locally produced products and produce. All tradestands are members of Hampshire Fare, New Forest Marque of Hampshire Farmers Markets. The Local Produce Market will also feature a food court where visitors can enjoy some locally produced food and drink.

Sophie Stannett, Marketing Co-ordinator says “Jane is going to be a fantastic addition to the cooking demonstration theatre timetable this year. The Local Produce Market is a wonderful celebration of Hampshire’s finest local producers and is certainly a must see section of the Show” The 2019 New Forest Show is taking place on 30th, 31st July & 1st August at New Park Brockenhurst. All tickets purchased online via the New Forest Show website before 23rd July will receive a 15% discount. This year all children aged 5-15 can enter the Show for just £1 with all proceeds from child ticket sales being donated to the Samantha and Florence Bailey Bursary.

The Kitchen sponsored by Chewton Glen will also feature a busy timetable of cooking demonstrations from top local chefs each day including Matthew Whitfield from Montagu Arms, Beaulieu and James Durrant from Ideal Collection. James Durrant joined Gordon Ramsay’s Hospital Road shortly after it had won its third Michelin star.
