Hi there, Thank you for reading our March edition of the Essex Business and Leisure Magazine, and thank you for your continued support of the small local businesses that we advertise every single month. Thankfully this month Spring will start to show, I know I’m just looking forward to seeing some longer days. I can’t stress enough again how important it is for all the sons and daughters out there not to forget Mother’s Day on the 15th. Every Mum deserves to be spoilt one way or another even if it is just a small bouquet of flowers. This month we have a simple and yummy recipe that would be great to put together with your children or grand children around the easter time so be sure to have a look on page 28 and let us know how you get on! I’d also like to bring your attention to the Danny Green Fund on page 30. They really do some fantastic work and there is a short story about brave little boy that they are doing their utmost to help.

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile! It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director Chris Miller feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is 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 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although

that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. 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. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service the Basildon, Billericay, Bowers Gifford, Laindon, Langdon Hills, Pitsea, Vange and Wickford areas

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

the days in between runs as your body is adapting to the training. Cross-training can be walking, biking, swimming, or any other activity (other than running) that you enjoy. If you find that the program progresses too quickly for you, you can repeat a week before moving on to the next week. Week 1: Day 1: Run 1/16 mile, walk 3/16 mile – repeat 4 times Day 2: Rest or cross-train Day 3: Run 1/16 mile, walk 3/16 mile – repeat 4 times Day 4: Rest Day 5: Run 1/16 mile, walk 3/16 mile – repeat 4 times Day 6: Rest or cross-train Day 7: Rest

Run a Mile in 4 Weeks! This four-week training program is designed for total beginner run/walkers who want to build up to running a mile. This program is a run/walk to continuous running program. Each week, you’ll make a slight increase to your running distance and a decrease in your walking distance. By the end of four weeks, you’ll be able to run one mile without stopping. If you do struggle with excercise please consult a medical or training professional and only use this as a guide. Notes about the training schedule: For measuring purposes, you can use MapMyRun.com or the MapMyRun free phone app. You should start each run with a 5-10 minute warm-up walk. Finish up with a 5-10 minute cool-down walk. You don’t have to do your runs on specific days; however, you should try not to run two days in a row. It’s better to take a rest day or do cross-training on

2. Winter burn

This is caused by loss of water in the roots & stems during the winds & late winter sun, which in turn causes the roots & stems to freeze & can make the tree lose moisture

3. Salt Unbelievably salt being spread on icing, trees near through moisture systems.

Gardening Section Look out for your trees after Winter Winter can be harsh time for trees which can leave them at risk of disease or fractures. Here are five things to llok out for to ensure your trees stand strong and tall this spring.

1. Sudden drop in temperature Trees are able to acclimatise to winter in gradually reduced temperatures, but if the temperature drops suddenly trees can become stressed & injured when they are in a dormant stage.

can damage trees when roads to prevent roads by can absorb the salt & in turn can affect root

4. Animals In the depths of cold winter animals look for alternative food source & some rodents will peel bark & eat it as food, this can have an adverse affect on young trees & make them weaker & susceptible to disease.

5. Limb fractures & breaks When heavy snowfall happens the limbs & shrubs will be frozen & are at risk of splitting as being brittle & fragile from being frozen, a good tip is to gently brush of the snow using a soft broom as to prevent any breaks or splits to the shrubs or limbs. For any advice or help with any aspects of tree care please contact Branches tree services & we would be happy to help.

Dale is a miracle and here is his story. The Danny Green Fund will soon be funding private one to one horse riding therapy sessions every week for a very special little boy. Building up his core strength and confidence. Dale is a miracle and here is his story. Dale was diagnosed with a brain tumour in April 2008.He underwent surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The cancer had spread down his spine so he had to have additional boosters of radiotherapy. Dale has also been diagnosed with Posterior Fossa Syndrome and was unable to talk for 4/5 weeks. Dale was unable to walk for a long time, he just couldn't move. He couldn't swallow and he still has double vision. He walks with a K frame in school and short distances out and about. Anything more he uses his wheelchair. His left hand and wrist don't work very well. Sadly Dale relapsed in April 2011 and this time the tumour was at the right frontal lobe. It was suggested he went

chemo first to see if it had any effect. He also had a massive seizure a few days after a routine MRI picked up the second tumour. He now has epilepsy as well. At first the chemo shrank the tumour a little and surgery was planned for October 2011. The surgery went well and radiotherapy followed. Three days before Christmas 2011 the family were told that the chemo wasn't working and advised to stop as it was just making Dale so ill. The family were told to take Dale home and enjoy him.They sought a second opinion at another cancer hospital and the doctor said she agreed that Dale was on borrowed time. Miracles do happen because the doctors don't understand why Dale is still here and in remission but he is. His balance is something the family work on all the time and he continues to improve. We are so proud to be able to assist Dale's recovery by providing horse riding therapy.

P Thank you to all our supporters for making this possible for a very brave cancer warrior. We currently provide physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and horse riding therapy sessions for 8 children on a weekly basis. If you would like to get involved and help fund raise for Danny's charity why not take part in the egg cracking challenge that was started on Facebook by Danny's friends to celebrate Danny's 14th birthday. Lets crack brain tumours together. To donate please text 70070 DANN02 £1. The Danny Green Fund thank you for your continued support.

develops and matures our bones need different levels of calcium. The pre-adolescent years are particularly important as this is when our bones greatly need and can store calcium. Remember there is a lot of contensious information regarding calcium and dairy consumption. It’s vital that teenagers also get enough calcium as this is when the bones rapidly grow into their adult size. The Food Standards Agency recommends that adults need 700 mg of calcium per day (not exceeding 1500 mg per day). During pregnancy it’s best to seek the advice of your GP or midwife because in some instances, for example for teenage mothers, the calcium requirement increases.

Calcium is Key. Stuart BSc(Hons) MSc(Chiro) DC Consultant Osteomyologist www.spinalcarecentre.co.uk

Osteoporosis is a bone disease that leaves bones fragile and highly prone to fractures but a healthy diet and weight bearing exercises go a long way to prevent this painful and debilitating condition. Most of you will already know that calcium is essential for bone health. It’s tricky to get enough of some vitamins and minerals in your daily diet but with calcium it’s very easy. Calcium is essential to the growth and maintenance of strong, healthy teeth and bones. It’s used in our nerves, kidneys, and in the contraction of our muscles. It is also necessary for regulating the heartbeat, lowering cholesterol levels and forming blood clots. It’s also thought that calcium may help to protect against colon and breast cancer, although more evidence is needed to confirm this. Bones are living organs that are constantly changing and repairing. As our body

Aim to get your calcium from your diet remember green leafy vegetables! But if you do take a multivitamin supplement, check that it also contains calcium in a natural format. Myself and my family use Juice plus as a supplement to our diet. Dietary sources of calcium, include broccoli, curly kale, mustard greens, cabbage, okra, horseradish, watercress, petit pois, soya beans, red kidney beans, (ware too higher levels of peas and beans due to lectins) celery, parsnips and bok choy. Most bread has calcium added to it as do breakfast cereals, however, the acid digestive breakdown of grains can remove more calcium than you gain from it! Tinned salmon and sardines (if you eat the soft bones) are great sources too and dried fruit (especially figs) and nuts such as almonds and brazil nuts also contain calcium. Vitamin D is necessary for the body to absorb calcium, therefore a diet should provide an adequate supply of vitamin D. We get most of our vitamin D from the effect of summer sunlight on our skin but vitamin D is also found in oily fish and eggs.

Build a better backbone for Britain

Weight bearing exercise such as walking is also crucial for building and maintaining healthy bones. However, building up to impact exercise is the goal here. I personally like the research that has gone into Crossfit, my personal exercise of choice. The varied movement patterns are excellent and there is also Crossfit Kids, designed to provide strength and conditioning exercises for children of all ages. If children are able to do these movement patterns on a regular basis, you are going to help them from getting bone mineral wasting as they age. In an age where sitting on you back side and either watching TV of computer games are king, it is our job as parents to give our children a healthy future so get them out and exercising as soon as you finish reading this article.

• Lock away your tools such as spades and forks overnight when you’re finished using them. Tools left out overnight could be used by an intruder to gain access to your property. • The most effective way to secure shed doors is to fit a strong hasp and staple (also called a pad-bar). Secure this with coach bolts and lock the hasp over the staple with a closed shackled padlock.

Shed and Garage Security

WORKING TOGETHER FOR A SAFER BOROUGH

Basildon • Billericay • Wickford • Pitsea • Laindon

Many people under estimate the value of the items they store in their shed, garden or garage. Unfortunately, criminals are fully aware of the value of the goods that some people do store in vulnerable places. The following advice can help to keep your property secure and reduce the chance of you becoming a victim of crime. Shed Security - Sheds can be attractive targets for thieves. They can contain expensive equipment and are often poorly protected. Whilst a shed is not designed to withstand any form of determine attack, there are some simple measures you can take to make them more secure: • Position your garden shed as near to your house as possible so that it is clearly visible from your home • Paint your house number and post code onto your valuable gardening equipment. This makes them much less attractive to potential thieves. • Avoid storing valuable items such as tools, golf clubs or fishing tackle in a shed. These items can be stored inside your home or a secure garage.

Garage Security - Garages usually contain valuable items and many have integral doors, which could offer a thief easy, hidden access to your home. • ‘Up and Over’ garage doors are usually fitted with a central locking handle; these are often quite weak and can easily be attacked. To make it more secure it can also be fitted with a hasp and staple, and a padlock. • If you have a household alarm fitted, consider extending the system to cover your garage. This should be a relatively cheap and effective way of protecting your garage • It is good practice to fit British Standard approved locks to all your external doors and this includes integral garage doors. BASILDON Council is cracking down on metal thieves by teaming up with the police and using the new Scrap Metal Dealers Act. The act came into force in October 2013 and since then more than 1,500 offences have been recorded. Under the Act, local authorities and the police have been granted the same enforcement powers. Enforcement is important to ensure that a ‘level playing field’ is maintained for those who do hold a licence as well as help to reduce metal theft - the main aim of the law. To avoid duplication of effort by both agencies and minimise the risk of instances where one agency mistakenly assumes another is taking a lead on enforcing rules, an enforcement protocol, drawn up between Essex Police and Essex Local Authorities, was agreed by Basildon Council’s cabinet in January this year. This protocol helps to clarify that the Police will take a lead responsibility for unlicensed activity and the Local Authority will take lead responsibility for monitoring compliance of those who are appropriately licensed. Both agencies will continue to work together to ensure that the Act is enforced. Basildon Council has licensed some 50 scrap metal collectors and sites since the Act came into force.
