Hi there, Welcome to our April edition
It's April already, and things are slowly getting back to nearly normal. Shops will be opening soon along with Gyms and Pubs and Restaurants. Your Local small Businesses have taken a hit financially over the last 12 months so once they re open, please please try to use them. For a lot of Businesses, April and May could be make or break so please shop locally and get yourself down your local pub for a well earned drink. We hope that all the little ones have a fantastic Easter, they've also been through a lot and I'm sure they've earned some Chocolate. I'm sure you're all looking forward to them meeting up with their friends for a catch up. This month we have a new puzzle for anyone who loves a challenge. Reminds me very much of a popular Phone App Puzzle Game. The Masyu are going to become a regular feature so get practising before they get too difficult.

The People’s Independent Party LOCAL PEOPLE STANDING UP FOR CASTLE POINT
Fed up feeling like your views don’t count? Fed up of listening to excuses?
We offer you a real alternative We pledge to work with the community and ensure that the majority view rather than the will of the Government is at the centre of everything we do. We value the generation that made our community what it is, the generation who are now ensuring the area thrives and will invest in the young who represent our future.
By voting for us you are voting for change. We will always be honest & transparent We will be visible, approachable & most of all will always represent your views rather than the views of central government.
We will challenge the current Conservative Local Plan and will push for additional work to be carried out taking into account the many changes to Government Policy since the plan was compiled. We do not accept it is a done deal. We will establish the viability of a local LIDO in Benfleet and will work tirelessly to put in place local projects that improve the health and wellbeing of Parents and Children within Castle Point. We hope to challenge the local balance of power so that people are no longer taken for granted in an area where we have traditionally been a one party community.

Hoe! Hoe! Hoe!
Following on from last month’s list of essential garden tools for beginners I thought I’d explain about the humble hoe. When I first started gardening, I didn’t really understand how to use one. There are a couple of varieties of hoe and they are used in different ways, and they really are your friend at this time of year. The hoe is actually one of the most ancient garden tools and came before the plough. It’s mentioned in Egyptian art, the Code of Hammurabi and in the Bible. The reason spring is a great time to put your hoe to good use is because right now is when the annual weeds (the ones that self-seed freely and pop up all over the place every year) have started to germinate. The aim when hoeing, aim to sever the top growth from the roots, just below the soil surface, then leave it in the sun to dry out and die. Hoeing is best done when the soil is dry as this creates a ‘dust mulch’ which inhibits the germination of new weeds. I prefer a hoe with a long handle because it’s better for preventing back pain. I also have a short-handled hoe known as an ‘onion hoe’ for closely planted areas. A shorted handle gives more control, so you don’t damage your prized plants. It’s important to note that hoeing only kills the annual weeds, not the deep-rooted perennial weeds, those need to be dug up by hand. There is also a tool called a Dutch hoe. This is used by sweeping it smoothly over the soil so that the surface is just ‘brushed’. If used correctly it slices the tops from the weeds. It’s actually simple to use but you do need to practice your technique. Slice the tops of weeds by bringing the hoe towards you, altering the angle to accommodate slopes. When you turn over a Dutch hoe you can use it to make a shallow trench called a seed drill to sow larger seeds, like peas into. Larger seeds are better because they need to be covered well. Your hoes need to be kept sharp and well maintained for maximum effectiveness. I use a metal file to both clean and sharpen, but you can buy sharpening stones reasonably cheaply and they are easy to use. Happy gardening By Rachael Leverton

BBQ - TLC The start of the beautiful British spring is just upon us with some great bank holiday weekends to look forward to, your BBQs will probably be getting its first airing after having been packed away for the winter. This also coincides this year with us being allowed to have another household come and join us socially in our gardens. However, if you want to be able to eat from it safely this spring, you will need to do a spot of cleaning before you use it for the first time. Luckily, the experts at OvenGleamers have some top tips for brilliant BBQs so that you can cook with confidence and look forward to another year without the dreaded scraping of months’ old burnt on grease hindering your lovely fresh food. ‘Greasy BBQ grills are as much a part of the great British spring as the ever changing weather,’ explains OvenGleamers Rob Garnett. ‘They are a bit of a nightmare to deal with and rather a mess. The key to getting the very best from them each time is to show them the same love that you would give to your kitchen oven.’
1.Soak it up
Clean those racks before you start cooking on them – burnt on grease turns to carbon and then gets stuck to your lovely fresh food. Clean the racks by soaking them overnight in your bath with some washing powder, then rinse them off. Or, scrub them with washing up liquid and a wet scourer!

Breakfast | Lunch | Cake
2. Liner time
Keep the racks clean in the first place by cooking on a non-stick oven liner. Just place the non-stick liner on top of your usual BBQ rack and cook your food on top of that. Then, just rinse the liner under the tap with soapy water or pop them in the dishwasher once you’ve finished cooking.
3. Rust away
Before your first BBQ of the year, your trusty BBQ needs to be cleaned thoroughly before using it. It might seem a pain now but you’ll thank me for this later! Ensure that the whole of your BBQ is completely degreased before attempting to cook on it. You really don’t want last year’s burnt on grease spoiling your delicious fresh BBQ meats, fish and halloumi slices! If you’d like OvenGleamers to help with cleaning your BBQ then call Rob Garnett on 01268 833909 today.

MASYU PUZZLE U
INSTRUCTIONS
Masyu is a charming but sophisticated puzzle where you are required to “string” black and white “pearls” with a line that forms a continuous loop. The string can only be horizontal or vertical. On unmarked cells the line that is the string can enter and exit in any two of the four sides of a cell. The trick and the trouble starts when the pearls are adjacent to one another. There are two rules according to the colour of the pearl:
I
A
1) Black pearls: A line going through a black pearl must enter and exit at right angles on the pearl. It must also extend straight for two squares in the chosen directions. 2) White pearls: A line goes straight through a white pearl. In one or both directions the line must perform a turn immediately after the white pearl. It is optional for it to turn in both cells after the pearl.

It’s never too early..
…but one day it may be too late. It’s time to make an LPA. There is a common misconception that Lasting Powers of Attorney only need to be put in place when an individual gets older. In fact, it is always wise to put LPAs in place earlier in life. By doing so, you will gain peace of mind that your affairs – both financial and health – can be looked after if you are ever unable to do so. You will also be ensuring that your loved ones are not left in an impossible position, unable to deal with your affairs, if the worst should happen.
