Hi there, Welcome to our December edition I know it’s early for a lot of you reading this but Merry Christmas everyone! I always love Christmas but for some reason this year I’m in an even more festive mood than usual. I’m writing this mid-November and I’ve already got an urge to put on the Fairytale of New York. Sadly the rest of the office insist I wait till the 1st! As much as the majority of us love this time of year, we must not forget about the older people that are feeling more vulnerable and lonely at this time of year. As busy as we all are simply offering to pick up something whilst doing your shopping or just popping in for a 15 minute cup of tea could really make their Christmas. Every month, we have donated a half page to a local Charity to give them a bit of exposure. This month we have given it to the very hardworking and deserving Danny Green Fund. We have a really tough riddle for you this month in amongst our headscratchers of the month. We also have 3 nice and easy ones if you are feeling a bit delicate from your christmas party.

www.

This month we have a Movie Preview of Rogue One the new star wars movie, make sure you don’t miss it! In this months quiz we have a Finding Dory DVD to win for the kids. Remember you’ve got to be in it to win it! Last month’s quiz winner was Claire Dearson from Lambeth Court in Benfleet who won a party for Children at Stay & Play. Congratulations, we hope you enjoy your party. If you would like to advertise with us, the last day to get your advert in is 18th December. We can design your ad for Free and a Month’s Advertising to 20,000 homes costs from as little as £50. You can contact us on 01268 330271 or email at sales@ essexbusinessandleisure.co.uk.

the answer bystanding on any High St Corner for a couple of hours asking anyone at random! Still, there you have it –It’s Official, get yourself a Hobby, start Socialising, & Happiness will follow. What they forgot to factor in though, is that although the best things in life may come free, hobbies & socialising costs money! As you get older you may have the time to do all the things you want, but unlikely to have the Income or Savings to make the most of it.

HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS... Brought to you by Ron Radway from Essex Equity Release. Let your heart be light, From now on your troubles will be out of sight. According to the Latest News from the Media, following a study of over 9,000 65 year olds, over an 8 year period, Experts have come to the conclusion that those who have an interest & purpose in life are likely to have a better sense of Well Being, in addition to a more positive attitude, leading to greater longevity. Not sure as to what qualifies one to be an Expert in this particular field, presumably an Honours Degree in the Bloomin’ Obvious!! Goodness knows how much this Research cost, but they could have got

So, don’t forget that it’s never too late to be the person you always wanted to be, & if your New Years’ Resolution is to grasp the chance to do so, if only you could afford to…… Perhaps you should look at releasing some of the cash locked up in the value of your home. The monies released can be used for any purpose including Travel ( Cruises or visiting Distant Relatives) -Hobbies & Activities (Golf or Bowls, Art & Education), you’re never too old to learn new tricks or make new friends! Here we are as in olden days, Happy golden days of yore, Faithful friends who are dear to us, They gather near to us once more And whilst it is also a truism that Money can’t buy you Happiness, it can certainly make Misery a whole lot more palatable!! Through the years we all will be together and If the fates allow, But ‘til then we’ll have to muddle through somehow But you don’t have to muddle through – Find out if Equity Release can work for you. It’s not suitable for everyone, & you will need to seek Independent Financial Advice. For more details, please call for a quick chat, or to arrange a No Obligation Home Consultation Have yourself a merry little Christmas now. And a Happy & Prosperous New Year!!

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 Benfleet, Thundersley, hadliegh &

Daws Heath and manager Chris Miller 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 Chris a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

MAKE A FROG &TOAD ABODE Create an underground den where frogs, toads and newts can find safe lodging through the winter’s chill.

Amphibians like to hibernate in a cool (but not cold), dark and damp shelter, safely away from predators. Some frogs use the mud at the bottom of ponds, but many amphibians spend the winter on land. They do like to get a little way underground if they can, so give them a helping hand by creating their very own mansion, full of cavities galore. 1. Choose your location. Basically you need somewhere where you can dig a hole in the ground about 30-45cm deep where you can part-bury your collection of logs and stones. A shady or semi-shady spot is ideal. It doesn’t necessarily have to be near a pond, but within a hop and a leap of one is no bad thing! If you’ve already dug a damp ditch for diversity, you could use part of the bank you created when doing that! 2. Dig a round hole with a flat bottom. Pile the soil to one side as you go. Once big enough, fill it with your assorted rubble and logs. The idea is that the bricks and rocks are stable enough that they won’t collapse and crush creatures within, but at the same time don’t pack it all down. Imagine that you are creating a higgledypiggledy underground maze. There has got to be a myriad of hidden winding corridors ranging from a few millimetres wide through to a few centimetres, all leading deep into the pile.

3. Continue to pile material up above ground level – it is really useful to continue to build the pile into a low mound. 4. To cap it off. If you’ve go some, put some builders ballast over the rubble and logs, followed by the soil back over the top. What you don’t want to do is close up all of the entrances - you still need to be able to see lots of gaps around the edges. You can pile the soil over the back half of the abode so that the front entrances are all clear of soil. 5. Finishing touches. If you like, sprinkle a little wildflower seed over the soil on top of and around the edges of your mansion – amphibians will love their garden path being damp and sheltered. Or you could just add some branches and twigs for camouflage. Over time, rain and gravity will push some of the soil back down into the holes, so after several years you may need to create another home. But this one should last for a few seasons.

STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE

MOVIE PREVIEW From Lucasfilm comes the first of the Star Wars standalone films, “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” an all-new epic adventure. In a time of conflict, a group of unlikely heroes band together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire’s ultimate weapon of destruction. This key event in the Star Wars timeline brings together ordinary people who choose to do extraordinary things, and in doing so, become part of something greater than themselves. “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” will deliver a new and different take on the Star Wars universe. The first Star Wars spin-off hits theatres on 16 December. And Neal Scanlan, one of the special effects Jedi masters working on the movie, reckons British director Gareth Edwards has something new for fans. “What’s amazing and exciting about ‘Rogue One’,” said Scanlan, “is that Gareth Edwards is a young, dynamic guy who’s brave enough to throw out the rule book.” “It’s very respectful,” said Scanlan, “but he’s stamped his own personality on it.”

The Danny Green Fund will once again be taking Christmas presents to the children staying in Great Ormond Street Hospital and our local hospitals over Christmas this year. These special Christmas deliveries really do make a difference to the lives of the children who receive the gifts and to their families. We know from personal experience that staying in hospital over Christmas is very tough for the whole family and knowing that others are thinking of you really does make a massive difference at this special time of year. We would like to thank everyone who has donated a gift, we are very fortunate to live in such a great community who support this toy donation every year. This will be our 4th Christmas gift donation and we know that the gifts received are treasured by the children who receive them. If you would like to donate a gift we ask that each gift is new and is under the value of £10 so that each child receives a gift of a similar value and can be for any age from a baby to 18 years of age. We would be obliged if you could deliver the unwrapped gifts to The Danny Green Fund before 19th December so that the gifts very kindly donated can be sorted ready for delivery on Christmas Eve. For further details regarding this very special delivery or to get involved please take a look at our web site The Danny Green Fund | PFS Charity . Thank you for your continued support to help children in Great Ormond Street Hospital and in our local hospitals once again this year.

BRAIN EXERCISES Stuart Lawrence BSc(Hons) MSc(Chiro) DC Consultant Osteomyologist www.spinalcarecentre.co.uk Worried about holding on to your mental dexterity and memory as you age? Think sudoko, cleverly-marketed computer games and ‘brain exercises’ are the answer? Think again, regular exercise, such as a brisk walk three times a week, is the key to keeping, even growing, your cognitive powers as you age. Numerous animal and human studies have shown that regular exercise improves what is called our ‘executive functioning’. This is controlled by an area of the brain just behind your forehead and it is what allows us to choose appropriate behaviour, inhibit inappropriate behaviour and concentrate in the face of distractions. Executive function also influences basic cognitive functions such as processing speed, response speed and working memory. Executive function starts to decline when people reach their 70s. But elderly people who have been athletic all their lives have much better executive function than sedentary people of the same age. Studies have indicated that when inactive people get more exercise, even starting in their 70s, their executive function improves. So do you need to start training for the Olympics in order to remember your shopping list? No! Even just a regular programme of fast walking for 30 to 60 minutes three or more times a week will make a difference to your brain functioning. Plus you get the added benefits of improvements to your muscle tone, circulation and general health! A big worry for us all as we age is the risk of dementia but again, we should consider an active life as part of our protection against mental decline. People who exercise regularly in middle age are one-third as likely

277656

to get Alzheimer’s disease in their 70s as those who did not exercise. Even people who begin exercising in their 60s have their risk reduced by half. We’re not really sure exactly how exercise helps brain function: theories being investigated are the increased production of the feel-good hormone serotonin, improved blood circulation to the brain and the increased production of a growth protein that may stimulate the generation of brain cells and the connections between them. What is known is that regular exercise slows the age related shrinkage of the part of the brain responsible for executive function. So put down that pencil, don’t bother investing in expensive computer games (which encourage you do spend more time on the sofa) and pull on some trainers. If it’s a while since you exercised regularly or you have some problems with backache, foot or knee pain then I’d recommend seeing your local chiropractically trained practitioner before you begin a new exercise programme. It’s better to start with a properly aligned and functioning body than to worsen niggling problems by ignoring them. Remember, it’s never too late or too early to begin an active life.

hangman - you don’t know which is which. One of the guards always tells the truth and the other always lies. You don’t know which one is the truth-teller or the liar either. You have to choose and open one of these doors, but you can only ask a single question to one of the guards. What one question do you ask so you can pick the door to freedom?

OUR HEAD SCRATCHERS OF THE MONTH We’re 3 months in now, so you should all be on the verge of getting your blackbelt in riddle solving. I have given you 3 easy ones this month to warm you up for the difficult fourth headscratcher. So lets get cracking. What can you catch but not throw? Thats one you’ll kick yourself for if you give up too easily. Now I will put the answer in the back for this next one but I strongly advise you don’t take a peak! Miss Mary’s father had 4 kids: Joseph, John, and Jordan. What was the name of the 4th child. Now our warm up stretches are almost done, I hope you’re almost ready for riddle 4. If there is a bungalow and everything is pink. The floor was pink, the cat was pink, the man was pink. What color are the stairs? Definitely not the hardest riddle around but this final one will definitely get you thinking. There’s no trickery in this text you simply need to use your wit on this one. You are a prisoner in a room with 2 doors and 2 guards. One of the doors will guide you to freedom and behind the other is a

I hope you’ve enjoyed this months head scratchers, I’ve got a good one for you next month so be sure to check back. Don’t forget the answers are under the index at the back of the book.

CASTLE

COMMUNITY SAFETY PARTNERSHIP

Restorative and Mediation Service A scheme which allows victims of crime and anti-social behaviour (such as neighbour disputes) the chance to communicate with the perpetrators is available across Essex. The Essex Restorative and Mediation Service facilitates safe communication between those involved in a crime or conflict and allows victims to ask questions and receive meaningful reparation for the harm that has been caused. It holds offenders to account and helps them take responsibility for the harm they have caused. Both parties discuss next steps and the perpetrators can then make amends

Restorative Justice results in high victim satisfaction and a reduction in reoffending as it encourages those who have caused harm to take responsibility for their actions. Restorative justice is used for criminal offences or conflicts, such as graffiti or anti-social behaviour. It is a voluntary process and everyone must consent to take part. If you have been involved in crime or Anti Social Behaviour and you feel that this process could help you... Or.... You would like to become a volunteer Restorative Justice Facilitator and become part of the RJ Hub (full training is provided) Please contact restorativejustice@essex. pnn.police.uk or ring 01245 291609.
