Hi there, Welcome to our September edition. It looks like we’ve had our Summer! It was lovely while it lasted but it has come to an end very quickly. The evenings throughout most of August were really quite chilly !! The six weeks school holidays have now come to an end I can’t believe how quickly they have gone too. I hope you have all enjoyed them spending time with the children and Grandchildren. Our Charity this month that we are supporting is the Danny Green Fund. They are a small local charity trying to make a big difference. This month they explain about all the research they contributing to and raising money for. To read the story see page 28.

Once again the Basildon Community Partnership have kindly wrote an article for us asking for volunteers to help with victim support on page 38. If you have a child with special needs and are looking for friendly support then please contact Stay and Play on 01268 491511 to find out their next Special Needs Play sessions. Last Month’s quiz winners are: Paul Francis from Deacon Drive, Laindon who won a £50 Meal voucher for Akash Laindon and I Rogers from Reed Pond Walk who

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!

Gardening Section

If your soil is heavy clay, start digging it over now add plenty of organic matter to improve the quality and pea shingle to improve the drainage. It can be left in a pretty rough state over the winter when the cold will break the lumps down, making spring planting infinitely easier!

Watering

Should September turn into an Indian summer, remember to keep watering thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often. Containers and hanging baskets need watering every day.

Gardening in September Clear garden debris

Keep weeding; most perennial weeds are susceptible to weedkiller this month and systemic weedkillers will carry on working throughout the winter. Also clear any debris and diseased material from your garden. Pests and diseases that overwinter in your garden will reappear next spring with a vengeance so get rid of them now. Burn diseased material and put the rest of your garden rubbish (apart from woody stems) in the compost.

Dig clay soil

For recently planted large shrubs or trees, leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour. The same goes for established plants in dry periods camellias, rhododendrons, azaleas and hydrangeas will abort next season’s flowers if they get too dry. Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of clear earth around them - this MUST be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through. Mulching with bark or compost will help.

Planting

With the ideal planting conditions of autumn (warm moist soil), now is the time to plant container grown shrubs, trees, fruit bushes, perennials and bulbs. The key to successful planting is to water in well. Soak the rootball in a bucket until no air bubbles come to the surface, dig the planting hole, fill with water and allow to drain away. Place the plant in the hole, fill with soil, firm gently and water well with a watering can - this will give the plant a huge advantage over one planted with a dry rootball in a dry hole and watered only on the surface.

and you’ll have the place to yourself because Italians rarely go on holiday outside the month of August. Malta is one of the best holiday destinations in October – it’s far enough south to enjoy glorious sunshine long into autumn, but it’s cool enough to make it comfortable when touring the island’s fascinating historical sites. See the latest offers. We also recommend villa holidays in neighbouring Gozo, along with the laid-back Greek island of Paxos. Corfu is a great destination for villa holidays, while Corsica has some lovely villas with pools, apartments and hotels and great special offers in October. If you want to splash out, try the Verdura Golf & Spa Resort in Sicily. Foodies should check out this gastronomic tour of Sicily, while a great options for families is Sani Resort in Greece.

Hot Holidays in October 2014 If you want to be sure of catching the last of the Mediterranean sun in October you’re best advised to head south. You can expect fine weather on the Aegean coast of Turkey – where you’ll find some great-value boutique hotels, while Crete is usually a dead cert for warm temperatures and sunshine. North Cyprus combines a great autumn climate with bargain prices, as it is located outside the Eurozone. One of our favourite hotels there is the Pia Bella, just outside the pretty port town of Kyrenia. Puglia in the south of Italy stays warm for much longer into the season than the north of the country. It has wonderful beaches and charming accommodation,

And if you want guaranteed sunshine and high temperatures, it’s only a 3-hour flight from the UK to Morocco where you’ll find exciting cities such as Marrakech, Taroudant and Casablanca which you can combine with beautiful beaches. You can also take a trekking holiday in Morocco, exploring the majestic Atlas Mountains with a local guide. About 4 hours flying time from the UK, the Canaries offer even more assured sunshine than the Mediterranean. We recommend Tenerife and Lanzarote and the small unspoilt island of La Palma. If that’s too rustic for your tastes, check out the lovely Abama Golf & Spa Resort in Tenerife. If you like the idea of cruising from one port to another, but don’t like the idea of ships the house of housing estates, check out Star Clippers which has some tallship departures in October including this cruise around the Greek Cyclades.

So long as you avoid half term week you can find some great cheap holidays in October.

Farfalle with Sausage, Tomatoes, and Cream You need: 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 pound sweet Italian sausages 1/2 tsp dried crushed red pepper 1 cup chopped onion 3 garlic cloves, minced

1 2 3 4 5 6

1 can crushed tomatoes with added puree 1/2 cup whipping cream 1 pound farfalle (bow-tie pasta) 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil Freshly grated cheese

Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and crushed red pepper. Sauté until sausage is no longer pink, breaking up with back of fork, about 5 minutes. Add onion and garlic; sauté until onion is tender and b sausage is browned, about 3 minutes longer. Add tomatoes and cream. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sausage mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid. Return pasta to same pot.

www.TheDannyGreenFund.org.uk The Danny Green Fund were privileged to attend a brain tumour lab tour at the Portsmouth University Centre of Excellence courtesy of Brain Tumour Research at the end of August. During the tour we learnt that brain tumours are not like other cancers. The powerful protection mechanism that is the blood-brain barrier means that many of the typical treatments to fight cancers occurring elsewhere in the body cannot be applied to brain tumour patients. We were given the opportunity to find out more about the ground breaking research being carried out but in particular we saw the research being done in respect of a medulloblastoma brain tumour which is the type of tumour that Danny was diagnosed with, research is being done which will lead to different ways of

Eye test

Impaired vision can lead to trips and falls. Have your eyes checked regularly and keep your specs clean and scratch free.

Improve your balance

Ageing Gracefully Stuart Lawrence BSc(Hons MSc(Chiro) Registered Osteomyologist

www.spinalcarecentre.co.uk As we age, our coordination and balance may decrease and we become more likely to trip and fall. Simple slips can lead to pain, decreased mobility and, in the worst case, fractured bones. Every day more than 1,500 people aged 60 or over have a fall and need to attend hospital. I find that figure staggering and very sad as many of those accidents are surely preventable. But you needn’t let the fear of a fall prevent you from getting around. I’ve collated some advice for you here to improve the safety features in your home and prevent easily avoidable accidents. I’ve also noted down some basic health advice to keep you active and mobile in the safest possible way.

Home safety check Arrange furniture so that you can move around the house easily. Avoid placing furniture so that its legs stick out as trip hazards. Are your hard floors non slip? Ensure that floor coverings are in good repair and that rugs and mats are firmly secured. Tidy away any trailing electrical cords and ensure that stairs are well lit. De-clutter! Don’t have umbrellas and shoes posing trip hazards in the hallway. Install grab handles in the bathroom. Check that your stair banisters are stable and consider adding in extra hand rails if necessary.

Build a sensible exercise routine into your week. Exercises such as walking or tai chi will help to improve your strength, balance, co-ordination and flexibility. If you look at our website I show how to use a wobble board as well as some of the great postural exercises we recommend. Go to www.spinalcarecentre. co.uk/pages/members/ReliefPhase.html.

BUS

400g

The American Chiropractic Association cites an experimental study, published in the Journal of Advanced Nursing, where scientists investigated the effectiveness of tai chi in helping reduce the incidence of falls in the elderly. Patients who participated in a 12 week tai chi program, practicing Sun style tai chi 3 times a week, significantly increased knee and ankle muscle strength and improved flexibility and mobility compared with a group that did not participate in the exercise program. Tai chi participants were almost twice less likely to experience a fall.

Check your medication

Some medicines, especially when taken in combination, can affect your balance and make you feel dizzy. Ask your GP or chemist to review your medication’s affect on your balance.

Fracture risks

Osteoporosis is a disease that decreases the density and thus the strength of your bones. To reduce your risk of developing osteoporosis, ensure that you have enough calcium in your diet and that you are do regular weight bearing exercise. A daily brisk walk or even lifting small weights (tinned food) will make a difference. The National Osteoporosis Society has excellent information leaflets (call 0845 450 0230 or see their website www.nos.org.uk). Please read our next article about what to do if do happen to fall. Or in the mean time visit www.ageconcern.org.uk for more information.

Burglary and Knife Crime Campaign in Basildon The independent crime-fighting charity Crimestoppers is launching two campaigns to support a crackdown by police on burglary and knife crime in and around Basildon. The campaigns ask residents to tell Crimestoppers what they know about any burglaries/stolen goods or if they know someone who carries a knife - they could even get a cash reward of up to £1,000 for any information which leads to the arrest and charge of those involved in these types of crime.

Victim Support - Volunteers Needed Basildon • Billericay • Wickford • Pitsea • Laindon

Victim Support is a National Charity supporting Victims of Crime. In Basildon alone over the last 6 months we have provided one to one support either by phone or face to face to over 300 victims. We rely on our Team of Highly Trained Volunteers to deliver this valuable service and are always looking for exceptional people to help us deliver support in the local area. As a Victim Support volunteer, we will train you to support victims from the first time you meet them, until they feel strong enough to move forward on their own. You will listen to their concerns and make sure that

People who do not want to speak with Essex Police on 101 can use the Crimestoppers 24-hour phone number of 0800 555 111 where they can give information about crime 100% anonymously. Information can also be given online via Crimestoppers’ Anonymous Online Form. Ann Scott, Eastern Regional Manager for Crimestoppers, said: “We really need people across Essex to tell us anything they know about these types of crime. Maybe someone has confessed to being involved in a burglary. Maybe you know who is handling stolen goods in your area. Maybe you know someone who carries a knife. Burglary and knife crime can have a devastating impact on people’s lives, so please give any information you have, no matter how insignificant you feel it might be. Help us bring those involved to justice”.
