After the Rochdale and Jimmy Savile revelations, Corby’s grooming scandal is not going away.
LEANNE– 3 WEEKS AWAY FROM JUSTICE? Extra has been told who the alleged accused are but due to legal constraints, we cannot name them.
The senior officer investigating allegations of grooming and sexual abuse by a group of Asian and white men against Leanne Mape when she was a child is hoping to complete his enquiries well before Christmas. Once the investigation is concluded a report will be handed to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), which ordered the enquiry. Members will then consider the report and, if necessary, ask for further investigation to take place or clarification of specific points. Leanne had complained to the IPCC that her case was not properly investigated over a number of years by Northamptonshire Constabulary and that, despite being led to believe that investigations were continuing, inquiries had, in fact, ceased. Last night Leanne said she had been told a report on her complaints was hoped to be finalised in three weeks. “The officer in charge is concerned, for my sake, not to allow the whole matter to be dragging on and on,” she said. This week, Leanne, who runs a help group for abuse victims called “We Stand Together,” has, in the wake of the Savile revelations, been urging charities and government departments to provide support for all victims of abuse. “Regardless of Savile, there are many other victims of abuse who need support, but little consideration or help appears to be being provided for them,” said Leanne, who recently attended a conference on abuse at the Home Office.

Who’s who in tomorrow’s by-election: CHRISTINE EMMETT
JILL HOPE
Having lived in the area for more than 20 years, it would be an honour to serve the communities I know so well as your local MP. “Growing up in Liverpool, I attended a comprehensive school before going on to Manchester University. I started my working life as an auxiliary nurse, before joining M&S as a buyer and then British Rail. As a former auxiliary nurse, I believe in the NHS and will work hard to protect and enhance local healthcare services such as the brand new Urgent Care Centre in Corby. At the same time, I promise to do what is best for the NHS, rather than worry people by scaremongering, as the opposition has done throughout this campaign. “I have visited many local businesses and seen for myself the hard work and contribution they make to the local economy. I want to use my extensive background in business to encourage and attract more businesses, so we can provide more jobs for people that live here. “I am passionate about encouraging our young people to reach their full potential and that is why I held a jobs fair with Year 10 students to show what options they have after school and how to get the skills they need to start an apprenticeship or job. “I will provide real local leadership, standing up for the people of Corby and East Northants and be a strong voice for the community in Parliament rather than a Westminster voice in Corby and East Northants.”
“Tomorrow, you will elect a new MP. “It won’t affect who is in Government, but it does give you an opportunity to decide who is best to fight for our area. “I have lived in Northamptonshire for moor than 35 years and work locally as a business adviser specialising in helping new businesses start up and grow. I worked at Connexions advising young people on their career development. I believe that young people need the best opportunities to strive for. As a mother, I know how important it is that young people have ambitions that can be achieved. If elected, I will make sure no young person is left behind. “I am campaigning to reinstate the funding for our Police Community Support Officers after Conservative bosses on the county council slashed their funding. I will also fight tooth and nail to make sure our library service is protected. “Labour are no better. The Corby Cube costs have spiralled out of control thanks to their mismanagement. They left the country in a terrible financial mess and they still have no answers to the problems they left.

New clinic brings care closer to home
News in Brief Tenants get to ‘talkabout’
> COUNTY A NEWLY-formed local search and rescue team is still hunting for willing pairs of hands, despite a successful open evening last month. Northamptonshire Search and Rescue are a new lowland search team in which members assist the police and other emergency services with looking for high risk missing persons, as well as providing other support in times of local emergency – uch as flooding or adverse weather. An open evening saw a good number of new members joining the team and some have already received their initial training. Rob Moore, who is co-ordinating the recruitment drive, still needs additional volunteers both as operational team members and also as fundraisers and supporters in all areas of the county. Rob said: “We could do with more, the more the better, but particularly in the south of the county.” There will be another opportunity to find out about the team on Thursday November 22 from 7pm at Kettering Police Social Club, off London Road, Kettering (behind the police station), and anyone interested in volunteering is welcome to attend the meeting. This lifesaving service is funded entirely by charitable donations and all team members are unpaid volunteers, with operational staff receiving full training to national standards. The only requirements are that members must be over 18 and undertake a Criminal Records check. Rob can be contacted on: 07940 739624 for more details or for directions to the meeting. Further information about Northamptonshire Search and Rescue can be found on the website: www.nsar.org. uk or via the team’s Facebook page.

for the benefit of our patients. “We are committed to bringing more health services to the local community in Corby, so this is a really significant step in bringing care closer to home. This innovative service will give patients access to the best care possible on their doorstep.” The clinic enables local people to see a hospital consultant close to their home if this is necessary and is an example of close partnership working between the hospital and local GPs. The clinic is being run by consultant urological surgeon
Mr Mohammed Al-Sudani from Kettering General Hospital. Mr Al-Sudani said: “This is an excellent example of the hospital working closely with local GPs and the Clinical Commissioning Group to provide specialist services more convenient for local people. “This kind of service will enable local people to have the common problems sorted out by their specialist GP but if they need the input of a hospital consultant, this clinic will enable more serious issues to be dealt with in a familiar environment and closer to the patient’s residence.”
> CORBY TENANTS got the chance to talk openly to council officers about its performance as a landlord during Corby Council’s third annual ‘Talkabout’. Held in the Corby Cube on George Street, the event was a chance for them to tell the local authority how it can improve its services. Staff from the council’s housing and neighbourhood management teams were among those on hand to answer questions and queries and listen to the feedback. Bob Eyles, the council’s Lead Member for Housing, said: “By talking openly and directly to tenants we hope to get their honest feedback on the services provided by the council, which can then help us shape our future services and practices.”

Thousands of bus passes set to expire > COUNTY WITH thousands of concessionary bus passes approaching their expiration date, Northamptonshire County Council is urging people to plan ahead to avoid any delay on re-issues. Following the introduction of the over-60s national concessionary bus pass scheme back in 2008,
it is now expected that around 50,000 passes will expire on the same date - 31st March 2013. To help manage the renewal process, the county council is putting in place a monthly schedule for anyone whose concessionary bus pass will expire at the end of March next year. People should visit a library to renew their pass during the month allocated to their surname:
● November – surnames starting with A to E ● December – surnames starting with F to J ● January – surnames starting with K to O ● February – surnames starting with P to T ● March – surnames starting with U to Z www.northamptonshire.gov. uk/concessionarybuspass

> WELLINGBOROUGH CHRISTMAS preparations might seem a little sleepy around Wellingborough next month . . . as The Sleeping Beauty will be coming to town! And the panto promises to be a real beauty! The Castle’s Christmas show will run from Monday December 10 to Saturday December 29. Remember the story? There is great excitement at the castle – the new baby princess is due to be presented for the first time and the king and queen have planned a wonderful party to mark the occasion.

This year, the team at The Castle are delighted to be working again with Paul Boyd, writer of the 2008 Christmas show, Alice In Wonderland. Paul will be presenting another all-singing, all-dancing production full of catchy sing-a-long tunes, fun and crazy characters . . . and a festive, party atmosphere! Tickets for Sleeping Beauty are £14 (£12 concession) with a family ticket costing £48 for four, from the box office on: 01933 270 007 or via: www.thecastle.org.uk
> COUNTY A NEW campaign has been launched across Northamptonshire urging the county’s male population to pay attention to actively managing their wellbeing. The campaign has been launched by pharmacists across the county. New statistics from the National Pharmacy Association have revealed almost nine out of 10 men don’t like to trouble a doctor or pharmacist unless they have a serious problem. Community Pharmacies throughout the county have been displaying ‘Two Small Steps for Man’ window posters, encouraging men to step inside and enquire about free NHS support. Mukesh Lad, chairman of
Pharmacy Northamptonshire, said: “Ask Your Pharmacist week is the ideal opportunity for men to ask those questions they’ve been putting off for months. “Our pharmacists are well aware of the domestic and pro-
fessional pressures faced by men each day, but you can have a private chat with a pharmacist any time between 8am and 10pm without having to make an appointment. So it’s time to stop making excuses!”

Happy networking! > THRAPSTON
MEMBERS of an East Northants business networking group which ploughs its proceeds into supporting Thrapston’s sports facilities are celebrating its fifth anniversary. Almost 30 entrepreneurs and representatives from in and around Thrapston blew the candles out on a birthday cake to mark the occasion at a meeting of Business in the Community last month, at the town’s The Bridge Hotel, which also supports the business group. The network is attended by town councillors and regularly has presentations from its business members and community groups. It supports the town’s sports facilities and in the past has paid for sheltered seating as well as the upkeep of the playing fields. Group founder and organiser Mark Brown, a director of DATS Print Services, said: “We offer an excellent opportunity for networking within
Thrapston, providing many businesses in and around the town with a platform to raise their profile and gain new business contacts.” Councillor Roy Jakeman, who attends every meeting, said: “They are different from most business networking groups where the focus is simply on generating business leads. At the town council, we support the group because it brings local businesses together and tries to make a difference to the town.” There was a presentation on the Thrapston Community Plan at the last meeting, where members were encouraged to speak out about the future of the town, as part of a wider consultation. Members spoke of the benefits of the group. Rodney Hogg, from Amps Fine Wine, said: “This meeting gives me the perfect opportunity to meet local business as I like to trade locally.” Martin Jenkins, managing director of Thrapston-based Protest Electrical Safety, said: “We are all local compa-

The next meeting is on November 30 and costs £10 for non-members (includes a buffet). www. businessinthecommunity.co.uk
Ofsted team praises academy’s sixth form > Corby OFSTED inspectors have praised Corby Business Academy’s sixth form following their visit to the school last month. The inspectors gave the school an overall ‘Good’ rating in a report of their findings, which has just been published. Their report described the sixth form as ‘well-led and managed’. It added: “All the students who applied gained places
at their first choice universities.” They also said: “Teaching in the sixth form is good overall and the use of assessment is rigorous. “Class sizes are generally small and teachers take advantage of this to provide personal interventions and challenge wherever possible” Head of the sixth form, Kim Isaksen, said: “The report recognises the impact of ongoing developments within the sixth form, especially our commitment
to providing a broad range of extracurricular opportunities. “Our success with students gaining places at first choice universities was also highlighted. Our sixth form aims to promote independent learning and this was also noted by the inspectors. “I am extremely pleased that the inspectors recognised the growing success of the sixth form here at Corby Business Academy. Our staff and students should be proud of this achievement.”

ate conditions for growth and maximise the performance of the UK. Lord Heseltine’s analysis of the UK economy is compelling and businesses will welcome his call for steady, longterm thinking to improve the UK’s economic performance. However, ministers should focus first on the key constraints facing the real economy rather than a restructuring of Government – for example, the availability of growth finance, practical help for exporters and an education and training system that responds to business needs. While I may not agree with everything in Lord Heseltine’s report, it is fair to say he has raised awareness of the problems faced by businesses and opened up new opportunities for the taking. And, as we all know, businesses that seize opportunities are more likely to succeed and win awards of their own.

EXTRA CHRISTMAS Dining
BOOKING THAT PARTY
Just because Christmas is still a few weeks away is no excuse for pushing thoughts of it to one side! It is after all never too early to start making arrangements! In fact if you are thinking of organizing a festive meal out in the company of a group of friends, workmates or family, you really need to be doing rather more than just thinking about the idea right now. Christmas festive meals have become more and more popular over the years. Instead of a ‘one-off’ affair occurring just the once, such meals have become a workplace tradition, a normal part of the Christmas celebrations. Naturally, with so many people aiming to eat and drink merrily in honour of the festivities, the possibility of getting your booking in, just where and when you want it, becomes more and more remote - unless you get really organized and book very early. And of course, the larger the numbers attending, the more difficult it will be to get slotted in. Most caterers can fit the odd two to four diners in at the last minute, but a party of fifty or more - no way! So it’s certainly not too early now to get your group together and start considering your options. Don’t expect a completely smooth ride. Make sure you have several mutually acceptable, alter-
native dates to play with because it is quite certain, some bookings will have been made already. If you have chosen the venue and made that provisional booking, you can start considering the menu. Generally speaking, most restaurants and venues have a special menus for the party season. In the ordinary way of things you might well be able to leave the ordering until you arrive. For big parties it’s easier and sometimes cheaper to have the orders, for the main courses at least, placed in advance. It is after all, rather difficult, even in a commercial kitchen, to have fifty or more meals cooked and served all at the one time without a little prior preparation. With modern diets and allergies as they are it’s also wise to mention any special meals or diets that will be needed. Vegetarians, vegans, those with gastric problems, those who don’t like certain vegetables, people with allergies to certain artificial colourants, flavourings or preservatives, can all be catered for - as long as you give reasonable reasonable warning. Entertainment is another thing that party organizers must think about, it gets more difficult year on year to find something just that little bit different. Some establishments lay it on as part of the package, or may offer entertainment at an extra charge payable by the number of people attending. Other establishments D & L HADDEN leave organizers to arrange their own FAMILY BUTCHERS entertainment and “Finalist Small Business of the Year” just provide the Famous for Home Cooked Beef & Ham space, however if Also our delicious Steak Pies, Pasties, going down this Sausage Rolls.Daily Fresh Filled Rollsroute make sure you Roast Beef and Fried Onions check with the ven& Roast Pork ue that they have music licence.

The idea behind Corby Indoor Market was created from a desire to give entrepreneurs the opportunity to try retailing and encourage growth of new businesses.

EXTRA ChristmasTime - Showbiz and Entertainment Fun from Heart 96.6 in Northamptonshire. IT’S INCREDIBLE to think that Dawn French has been making people laugh for thirty years! We know her best from TV Shows like French and Saunders, and The Vicar of Dibley, but she is now almost as well known for her writing! We had a fantastic chat with Dawn this week as she celebrated the release of her second novel ‘Oh Dear Silvia’, following the massive success of her first number 1 best selling novel ‘A Tiny Bit Marvelous’. We began by introducing her as the ‘lovely’ Dawn French, but the morning we spoke to her on Heart Breakfast, she told us she had left the lovely Dawn French at home! “I brought the horrible Dawn French and left the nice one at home in Cornwall today. I do find it hard to leave there these days. I came up to London to do a sitcom last year and it was the first time I’d been away, and I knew I would be away for three months, and as I drove up the drive I had a tear in my eye… I just know I belong there now”. It was lovely to hear how settled she had become in the Cornish Countryside. We wanted to know all about her new novel… and Stuart suggested that everyone has a novel in them… Dawn thought that sounded a bit painful. So moving swiftly on, we asked about her plans for 2013. “I’m doing a famous five film, and radio thing with Jennifer Saunders and I’m going on tour with a one women show… a bit of dressing up and showing off”. We think that sounds fab, watch out for it coming to Northamptonshire. Finally, we revealed that Dawn has recently been voted the UK’s favourite picnic partner, so we wanted to know which she would chose, a perfect date or a perfect food. We began with Daniel Craig vs. Chocolate Cake… “Chocolate cake every time, don’t even bother, there’s no competition… Chocolate cake is joy”… So how about David Tennent vs. Chicken and Leek pie…. “PIE! Pie is the winner, yeah Pie”. Finally Stuart Miles vs. Celery… “Stuart Miles, celery is my enemy”. Check out our interview with Dawn in full at heart.co.uk

Northants/Leicestershire four-piece The Incidents describe themselves as ‘a shot in the arm for rock ‘n’ roll’. Having formed a few years ago, bonded by a ‘hazy night in Kettering’, they now insist to have ‘awesome super powers and great haircuts’ which they use to claw back rock music from those who do not. However bizarre this may sound, four ‘bratty Midlands lads making a tuneful of racket’ can usually only result in a good thing. Throwing in influences ranging from The Smiths to The Ramones, the band ‘fight crime and songs in excess of five minutes (except The Smiths’ ones)’.

“Ello, ello, ello what have we got here then?” D DAY HAS ARRIVED….it’s time to nip down to your local voting station and put your cross against your preferred candidate in the most important election in years. No, I am not referring to the election of your next Member of Parliament for Corby and East Northamptonshire. Whoever takes over from fly-away incumbent Louise Mensch will make little difference to how the country is run and the economic travails we all face. On the other hand your vote for the man (there aren’t any women on the ballot sheet!) who will, at great expense, overlord law and order in Northamptonshire might be one of the most important decisions local voters will ever make. The election of 41 police commissioners up and down the country tomorrow could transform policing in the UK for years to come. In other words this American style leap into the unknown could be the answer to law and order problems the public has craved or be as effective as a chocolate teapot. Despite a last minute publicity surge by the Home Office to whip-up public interest, few people really understand why such appointments are necessary and, worse still, have little knowledge of the candidates and what each stands for and how they are going to conduct themselves in the new role. The biggest question is how will they interact with chief constables? Will they adopt the approach of quiet watchdog or attack dog, forcing decisions like privatization of large sections of policing. The majority of the 192 candidates (only 35 are women) represent one of the major political parties. Just over a quarter claim to be “independent,” with 32 serving or retired police officers, 16 magistrates and 90 local councillors hoping to anointed with the title of Police and Crime Commissioner. Unfortunately, the job description is rather hazily defined for a position paying up to £100,000 a year (the salary in Northamptonshire is £75,000) and encompassing large areas with millions of people who won’t necessarily identify with each others crime problems. The government, in its wisdom, decided that it would not give candidates a free mail-shot to voters because it would costs £35 million on top of the £75 million bill being spent holding the elections. This has resulted in many candidates having to rely on getting their message across via the internet. Few have been as fortunate as Mervyn Barrett, the independent candidate for Leicestershire, who has bombarded local voters with expensive leaflets, free DVDs and full page newspaper adverts. Appar-
ently, he is backed financially by an organisation called The Fund for the American Century, a US lobbyist and companies pushing for more privatisation. Even former commissioners of the Met police in London have differing opinions on the appointment of PCCs. Sir Ian Blair is urging people to boycott the election as it will create tensions, while Sir Paul Stephenson takes the opposite view and believes it will make the police generally more accountable. More worrying for chief constables is that not many people will bother to vote. Some estimates have put the turnout as low as 15%. So, if you want to have a say in formulating law and order in the future get down to the polling stations and place your cross on the ballot sheet. But be careful who you vote for; remember you and the candidate is each plunging into uncharted waters. Neither you, nor the winner, know precisely what the job entails. Yes, lots of talk about setting budgets and the ability to fire chief constables, but will the new position of police czar really change anything? It appears Northamptonshire police force is already trying to get ahead of the game with a new appointment within the force’s Corporate Services senior management team at a salary up to £76,000. With the title of Head of Services Transformation the job description states: “You will manage key strategic relationships including the Police and Crime Commissioner…..” giving the impression that the force’s hierarchy is creating a protective buffer before the new PCC incumbent has even found his office. All the candidates have criticised the creation of this “unique role” just days before one of them is to be elected and at a time when the force has to find savings of £4 million. An important footnote: On the ballot sheet is the name of Lee Barron, representing Labour. If you put a cross against his name it will be a waste. Mr Barron was forced to withdraw from the election after voting papers were printed following his disclosure that, 22 years ago at the age of 19, he was fined £20 for a minor offence. No one with any criminal conviction, however insignificant or however long ago, is allowed to become PCC. The other local candidates are: John Norrie (Ind), a former member of Northamptonshire Police Authority. Adam Simmonds (Cons), a senior official with Northamptonshire County Council. Jim MacArthur (Ukip), ex RAF officer and security chief for major companies. Paul Varnsverry (Lib Dem), deputy leader of Northampton Borough Council.

MAHMOUD KAFFASH: Looking for a job
After the sudden closure of three centres staff are still without wages.
THE OWNER of the government supported training centre in Kettering, which has been forced to suddenly close following an investigation into irregularities, has hit back saying he is “baffled and disgusted.” Mahmoud Kaffash, 53, who set up In Business Training (UK) Ltd in October 2008, operated three centres, in Tresham Street, Kettering, Bromham Road, Bedford and a third in Wigston. The centres ran courses to improve skills in maths, English, IT and business methods provided by learndirect, under a government funded scheme to help long term unemployed back into work. Last night Mr Kaffash told the Extra: “I am sick and gutted by what has happened. I did everything I could to keep the business going, including offering to resign as a director and handing the business over to the staff to run.” Three weeks ago staff arrived to find the three offices closed and computer equipment moved from the Kettering office. Days earlier staff had been interviewed at a local hotel by senior officials of learndirect and questioned about the running of the operation. The investigation centred on procedures, the awarding of course certificates and if trainees had passed courses and modules. A spokesman for learndirect at the time said the company was waiting to talk to Mr Kaffash and had been trying to minimise the disruption to learners. Last night Mr Kaffash said he was proud of the work and help his company had given to thousands of people who had passed courses at his centres over the last six years. “The business was flourishing. I had just opened a new learning centre in Wigston. In the time the business has been operating we have helped between six and seven thousand people gain skills and find jobs. “I have hundreds of testimonials from people who were unemployed for a long time and have now been able to turn their lives around because of the help, guidance
and confidence we have provided via the comprehensive courses we ran. “I am baffled, sick and gutted by what has happened. I still have no idea why learndirect pulled the plug. When learndirect officials said they were concerned about irregularities I offered to stand down as a director and hand the running of the business over to three senior employees, but learndirect was not interested. “I have asked for meetings with learndirect officials in an effort to get the centres up and running again, even without my involvement. The decision to pull the plug by learndirect has put 15 people I employed out of work just before Christmas and left unemployed people we were trying to help in the lurch. I did my best to try and stop this fiasco. We have lost all the hard work we have done over the years.” Mr Kaffash, who has lived in the UK for 33 years and is a British citizen, claimed that his centres provided excellent courses. “We had a reputation second to none for the quality of our courses and teaching. We were considered by many to be one of the best centres in the country. Ours was a one-stop-shop operation. Not only did we train people, but we had job and enterprise clubs and other facilities linked to industry and local commerce, placing people in work. We provided the whole package assisting people who had been out of work for a long time get a job and back on their feet. People preferred to come to us because we were good.” Mr Kaffash added that he kept in touch with the 15 former members of his staff by e-mail, but admitted that they had not been paid in November as he had promised. “I am out of work and looking for a job, just like everyone else,” he said. “I didn’t want the staff to lose their jobs. I cared for them. Some had been with me for a long time. I suggested to learndirect that the staff run the business on probation for six months, but they weren’t interested. This has been a very sad episode, but I am not in control anymore.”

Set Yourself up for a Positive Day – Every Day! Lisa Phillips Executive Coach, Personal Development and Enjoying life! As a regularly featured personality on radio and TV, Lisa is an international expert on self development and coaching. She has owned her coaching business, Amazing Coaching for ten years and has worked in over 20 countries. Her passion and love of life is infectious. AS the winter nights draw in over 2 million people in the UK will suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (OK, I promise not to rub it in that I am enjoying the warm Sydney spring). During this time, it is important that you stay positive in order to counter act those ‘Winter Blues’. One of the simplest ways to do this is to set yourself up each morning for a positive day. Think back to this morning - How did you feel when your alarm went off? Did you drag yourself out of bed mumbling about your day at work or what you needed to get done that day? Or did you jump out of bed with excitement wondering what wonderful things the day has in store for you?
How we feel and what we think about our day ahead can really effect how in fact the day will actually turn out. If we begin each morning dreading what the day will hold, we will unconsciously creating an affirmation or a statement of what we want. Those affirmations then become our reality. For example, if you get up in the morning and the first thing you do is trip over your slippers or poke your mascara wand in your eye, you will probably start to think ‘this is going to be a rotten day’. This starts to create a negative pattern of thought. The more you then focus on how 'bad' your day is going, the chances are, more things will probably go wrong and you may lose any opportunity to experience any positives in your day. Then, you may actually make your day worse and by the end of it, you may end up affirming, ‘this was a horrible day and everything I did just went wrong!’ Then, if this wasn’t bad enough, if you continue to bombard yourself with negative ways of thinking, you will begin to believe negative things about yourself and your behavior will follow accordingly. Negative thoughts, lead to negative expectations, lead to negative outcomes! However, had you believed the day was going to be great, and you jumped out of bed filled with excitement, you would have used the power of your own thought to make it a great day!
You will then feel more positive and attract more positive experiences into your life. Whether you believe in the power of affirmations or not, they are already operating in your life. That is why it is so important to understand and use them to your advantage. The process of consciously transforming your thoughts, through the use of positive affirmations is the first step in changing your external world. Positive thoughts, lead to positive expectation, lead to positive outcomes! Try these affirmations to start your day with a bang! • This is going to be a great day • Everything in my day goes wonderfully • I have a fabulous day at work and complete all my tasks easily
• My day is filled with love and happiness • Everyone I meet today is happy and loving Another useful trick to start your day on a positive note is to take 2-3 minutes each morning, visualizing the ideal outcome of your day. Don’t worry if you feel this is too difficult, just try and relax into it and run a little movie in your mind of how you wish you day to be. If you have a difficult meeting or task to do, imagine the perfect outcome to your situation and also how you will look and feel after you have completed the task. Visualization is very powerful and you can really make a difference to your day by taking a few minutes each morning to complete this task. Have a great week Lisa x

Mosaic on show - April Dear Editor Many thanks for including news of our mosaic campaign. We have more good news! We have been given permission by the owners of the Newlands Shopping centre to place the mosaic on the curved wall on the entrance to the car park. The mosaic is quite large and it has taken time to find a place large enough for it to be seen and enjoyed. We were generously offered a place on the Kettering Conference Centre, but unfortunately it would not be in a prominent position. At present we are completing forms to apply for Heritage Lottery Funding following a useful meeting with Helen Johnson, Development Officer in Nottingham on Friday. We need to raise funds to restore and reinstate the mosaic which is still in storage. Work to restore the mosaic would begin in April. If the Society is successful the mosaic could be in place by November 2013. On another matter, Wicksteed park sold a farm and fields to Redrow to build 450 houses at the bottom of Wicksteed Park and behind Polwell Lane. The development has been halted whilst archealogical digs have been taking place. On Friday 9th November there will be an Open Day when pupils and the general public will be able to join in a guided tour. Monica Ozdemir Secretary Kettering Civic Society
Dear Editor One hundred amd ten passengers from Gretton Corby Weldon and Kettering will be setting off on two coaches to enjoy the Bury St Edmunds Christmas Fayre on Sunday 25th November,the last excursion run by Wondertours in thier 40th anniversary year.And what a year it has been with 19 day trips and 2 Wonderweekends enjoyed by everyone. David Fursdon Organiser said despite the poor summer we have been lucky and had a wonderful 12 months taking people all around the country and 2013 looks like being just as good. We aim to make the days out interesting for one and all by providing informatiuon and maps before arriving at each destination.Sighseeing shopping and dining out are popular with the group and regular and new passengers are all welcome onboard. The low fares are also a big attraction made possible because Wondertours are run volunatary and not for profit....taking you further for less. The 40th anniversary is indeed a proud milestone and we will continue to serve the local community with a traditional reliable friendly service that has proved a winner.To all passemgers thank you for your continued support.
Copies of the 2013 programme can be obtained by sending a SAE to Wondertours c/o 9 Southfield Road Gretton Northants NN17 3BX All excursions call at Gretton Corby Weldon and Ketttering. David Fursdon Gretton Dear Editor Having announced plans to cut 310 posts over two years Northampton General Hospital has employed an Irish agency to recruit a newly qualified nurse from Portugal who says he is bringing 24 more with him. Can our own medical schools not provide all we need? Other hospitals are also recruiting abroad, while they make redundant UK trained staff who thought they were secure. Brussels has launched a scheme to encourage Europeans to find work here. This makes financial help available, up to £1000 per head, funded by the taxpayer. Brussels is claiming that thousands will take this opportunity, of course they will, they will be coming from countries whose economy has been wrecked by the Euro. Indeed, this newly arrived nurse has written to the Portuguese President slamming the handling of their economy, the third country to request an EU bailout.
Membership of the Euro has shot their economy to pieces and we are being expected to help reduce their unemployment as well as contributing to the bailout. This nurse went on to say that there is a climate of fear in Portugal, which is why so many are coming with him. Personally, I have a great deal of sympathy for this young man who, no doubt, has worked hard to obtain his medical qualifications. He should not have to leave the homeland he loves to find employment but I cannot see why this country has to take thousands in. We too have unacceptably high unemployment. David Cameron is trying to have it both ways. He says that he wants us to stay in the EU, which is promoting this exodus from southern member states. But he has also said he would not accept Greek people fleeing from their economic nightmare. What’s the difference between Greeks and Portuguese? Yours sincerely Derek Clark UKIP MEP for Northamptonshire

EXTRA MOTORS CATERHAM ADDS TO SEVEN RANGE WITH SUPERSPORT R WANTED

Caterham has added to its iconic range of Sevens, giving the acclaimed Supersport a steroid-induced brother – the two-litre Supersport R, which packs 180bhp and track-bred dynamics. Like the standard Supersport, the new edition has many circuitorientated performance essentials, but gains a bigger engine and a five-speed gearbox to boost outright performance significantly. Designed to sit immediately above its 1.6-litre sibling in the Seven range, the new adaptation’s 2-litre Ford Duratec engine has proven its durability and performance on the track, having been developed during three years in Caterham’s R300 race championship. Competitively priced at £24,995 (incl tax) in selfbuild form or £27,995 fully-built, the new model

benefits particularly in mid-range ‘punch’ and features a 25% power increase on the Supersport, as well as 5bhp more than the R300 road car. Caterham Cars announced a bold new joint venture engineering partnership this week with Renault, which will result in a range of brand new vehicles, starting with an ambitious ‘everyday’ sportscar that will deliver the brand’s ‘accessible fun’ philosophy to new markets. But the Supersport R shows the firm’s continuing commitment to develop the iconic Seven, which it has been engineering and building for nearly 40 years. Caterham Cars’ Chief Executive, Graham Macdonald, said: “The Supersport’s formula has struck a
chord with driving enthusiasts and we are confident that, by extending the range to include an R model, we will be able to build on the original’s success. “The performance of the car is very impressive but, teamed with the accessibility of the suspension specification that works so effortlessly on the road and track on the base model, it is well-balanced, satisfying and fun in terms of the driving experience it offers.” The front-mounted Caterhamdeveloped Ford Duratec engine pairs up with a limited-slip differential to further enhance its performance credentials. Meanwhile, grippy Avon CR500 tyres, Supersport dampers and
race springs ensure the car’s handling is highly-focussed but still supple enough for the road. Weighing just 535kg, the new vehicle extends the Supersport line, which already includes road and track versions of the 1.6-litre model. Inside the cabin, a bespoke Supersport steering wheel, integrated change-up light, composite race seats and four-point race harnesses complete the track-inspired experience. Naturally, an aero screen comes as standard. The Supersport R’s DNA stems from the Caterham Supersport Championship, which is the fourth rung of its motorsport ‘ladder’ and is Caterham’s fastest-growing series.

Round-UP
Duston Garage (Bosch Service) Star Award: Clipston who recorded a first win of the season after eight attempts Northants FA Lower Junior Cup: Northampton Spencer Reserves made short work of Yardley United to move into the third round of the competition. Jordan Richards, Chris Norman and Lee Clack all found the net to eliminate the last remaining Town League side. Tougher opposition awaits in round three with Spencer making the trip to UCL side ON Chenecks Reserves. Northants FA Area Cup: Eight sides faced external opposition with only two sides failing to progress. Duston Garage Reserve Premier Division leaders Bugbrooke ‘A’ were by far and away the biggest winners. The return trip along the A5 was miserable for visiting North Bucks outfit Yardley Gobion after the rampant Badgers ran in eleven goals. Both FC Titchmarsh and AFC Rothwell made the lengthy trips out to Syresham and Deanshanger respectively, and recorded wins that end North Bucks interest in the competition for another season. Town League sides JLB and Upper Mounts both found Combination opposition too strong. Spratton Reserves cruised to victory, scoring six against the Mounts, while JLB fell to Heyford Reserves. Harleigh East, Alex Marlow, and Paul McIntyre all found the target to bring some cheer to the beleaguered club. Craig Hall scored twice for Corby Redstar Reserves in the 3-1 win over Banbury League side Woodford ‘B’. Should Corby Albion Vikings overcome Town League opposition next week then the race for the Area Cup will be between the Northants Combination and the Peterborough League. Indeed it was to Peterborough League opposition that both Kislingbury Reserves and ON Chenecks ‘A’ succumbed. Kislingbury lost out to Wittering Harriers while Chenecks went out away at Peterborough Giants. The fixture computer threw up two derby ties, both of which ended in the favour of the lower ranked sides. Corby United hosted Stanion Reserves and it was the second-string side who romped to a massive victory. Mark Watson was the pick of the scorers with three goals, while teammates Luke McAuley, Dan Barker and Lee Greig added two apiece as the visitors fired in eleven times. Stanwick Reserves did not record such a high margin but still managed to upset neighbours Higham Town. Darrell Smith was the hero, netting a crucial third goal to see the second-string through 3-2. In the three remaining all-Combination ties Old Grammarians Reserves produced a third upset result, overcoming Desborough & Rothwell United. Martin Tamplin and Danny Moroianu netted for the hosts, but an own goal proved the winner for the Reserve Division One side. Earls Barton Reserves smashed eight goals past Orchard Park Reserves. Nick Charlton scored twice, with Leon Gavin and Jordan Hogden both picking up doubles. An own-goal sealed a miserable day for the Kettering side. Dan Brown scored twice for West Haddon Reserves and an Edward Harman strike forced overtime in the clash with Wollaston Reserves. Despite these goal-scoring exploits it was Wollaston who progresses with a penalty shoot-out victory. Duston Garage (Bosch Service) Premier Division Cup: Based on current form and league positions, three of the quarter final ties produced surprise results, with Moulton the only top six side to reach the semi-finals. Coming off the back of a run of three league wins and scoring thirteen goals in the process Moulton would rightly have been confident of getting a result against holders and seventh-placed Harpole. For eighty minutes however neither
side could break the deadlock, but the final ten produced four goals. Poor defending allowed Moulton to open the scoring through Adey Redmond before Liam Butcher immediately struck back for Harpole. The game became and end-to-end affair with Redmond converting two further chances to seal his hat-trick and a semi-final berth for his side. Milton had topped the league earlier this season albeit briefly, and were drawn against Ringstead who have lost the last five league games. With form like that Milton were expected by many to progress, but instead crashed out. Lee Bradley scored twice for the hosts, but Ringstead fired in five times with Danny Jackson scoring a hattrick. Despite taking an early lead Brixworth slumped to their heaviest home defeat since September2007 against Weldon. Three first half goals from Ben Smith, Paul Simpson and Sean Fraser, the first coming two minutes after Brixworth’s opener, put Weldon in control of the game. The visitors added two more goals in the second period to hand Brixworth a 5-3 defeat. Stanion Quantum Print have been a force to be reckoned with this term scoring 26 goals in all competitions thus far. The division’s newcomers travelled to face Roade, a side already heavily beaten when the sides met in the Junior Cup earlier this season. Early momentum from Stanion suggested that a repeat could be on the cards, but the lack of a killer touch was to prove costly. Roade served the opposition a statement of intent when Andrew Watts first saw a point-blank header miraculously saved, before the rebound was blazed over. Minute later Stanion provided Roade the opportunity to score from twelve yards when Watts was bundled over in the area. Steve Carroll converted the penalty to give Roade a first half lead. Two quick-fire goals after the restart rocked the visitors and put Roade into a commanding position. Zach Pugh netted with a cool finish before Watts got the goal his performance deserved. Ed Reece capped the shock win with a fourth goal on 70 minutes. Duston Garage (Bosch Service) Premier Division: Blisworth’s lead at the top of the table extended to five points with a second victory over Nomads, thanks to Chris Currey’s decisive goal. His strike gave Blisworth the slimmest of advantages in the 4-3 win. Welford meanwhile climbed two places with victory over Khalsa. Craig Cassidy netted twice in the 4-0 win. Duston Garage (Bosch Service) Division One Cup: Alex Patrick scored the Wootton goal that ensured the tie with Earls Barton needed an extra half hour to settle. In the end it was to be Barton’s day, as they found an extra time winner. Duston Garage (Bosch Service) Division One: After the rotten start that Gretton endured conceding 39 goals in the opening six games, securing a point from the tie with Burton was a welcome positive, particularly given that the same opposition had reached a record 11-1 win earlier in the season. Shain MacAlindon netted for Gretton to cancel out Lewis McIntyre’s strike. Ise Lodge ended a run of three straight defeats with a derby victory over Orchard Park. Mark Northover scored four of the five Ise goals. Denton bounced back from last week’s narrow defeat to Kislingbury with victory over Volta. Liam Downes opened the scoring in what was to be Denton’s first win in three matches. Rothenberger Tools Division Two: Right now, last week’s win seems to be the aberration for Corby Redstar, as the poor form returned with a vengeance. Derby opponents Corby Eagles took full advantage of Redstar’s apparent weakness scoring six times. Coin Hutchison was the pick of the scorers with a treble. Daventry Comms managed to hold onto top spot for a second successive week, possibly putting an end to the hot-potato that has characterised it thus far. A 4-1 win over Spratton

Out of the shadows > Football
By Stuie Buchanan. IN the wake of what’s been happening at Kettering Town Football Club, there has been a rather dark shadow cast over the future of football in the town. As it is, The Poppies haven’t played a game inside Kettering for a considerable period of time. Some would suggest fans can’t be blamed for giving up on the 140year club, after all, from the moment Paul Gascoigne pulled into Rockingham Road in 2005 it was apparent the new chairman would leave his mark. However, that mark could still wind up being the death knell of a once famous club. Paul Cooke is one of those fans; he felt the final straw came with his club’s upheaval to Irthlingborough at Nene Park: “I just feel we should be trying to keep football in Kettering at all costs. There were a few of us who just couldn’t go on with Imran Ladak in charge.” Disgruntled fans locking horns with a chairman isn’t a new expe-
rience in football, ask Newcastle’s Mike Ashley. The difference is the reaction. Again, starting a new club isn’t a new concept, with the likes of AFC Wimbledon or FC United of Manchester set up in similar circumstances in the past. It still requires a lot of hard work and effort. “We had to do something though,” Paul continued. “We set up a junior team last season and started playing friendly fixtures under the name ‘Kettering Football Club’. If KTFC folded, what would people have? We got up and made sure there was something there, but these things can take time.” ‘The Red Kites’, established in 2011, now play youth level football with a view to joining the UCL league set-up as soon as possible. New clubs must have been playing for a full year before they can apply. Paul is now the club’s press officer, but helped found the ideas behind the club set-up along with chairman Mark Bulley and Roger Patrick. The club’s primary objective is simply to return professional foot-

THE RED KITES: Kettering Football Club’s squad for the 2012-13 Northants Senior Youth League season ball to the town, they insist there are no hard feelings towards the club they previously visited week in, week out. “We’re not a rival, we’re a club in our own right,” said Paul. “We had 145 at our first game last year and for a junior side, that’s not too bad at all. There’s no animosity between us and them whatsoever as far as we’re concerned.” They have now expanded to include girls’ teams at under 12 and under 14 level as well as training for ages 10-14. Their under 14s recently picked up a 20-0 (yes, 20) win over Corby Hellenic Under
14s. Erin McNamara scored 8. The Red Kites themselves have picked up a win, a draw and a loss in their past three Northants Senior Youth League games. Most recently, goals from Curtis Mason, Jack Ash and George Boot secured a 3-1 victory against Northampton Spencer. “We have been looking at four potential sites for a new home in Kettering, once we’ve been through the details and worked out the most viable option, we’ll let everyone know.” For more information, visit: facebook.com/kettering.fc or @ kettering_fc on Twitter.

S&L Corby’s 100% record this season came to a crashing halt thanks to a 30-20 loss at home to Stamford. Having won their opening six matches, Stewarts and Lloyds relinquished their top spot of the Midlands Division – Midlands 3 East league to their opponents on the day. They go into their next game away to Queens on Saturday, November 17, sitting in fourth spot.
Meanwhile, Kettering Rugby Club has picked up their third win of the season against Peterborough. The Blues sent Peterborough away having put 43 points past them, ‘Borough scoring 18 in return. Things seem to be taking a turn for the better as Kettering claw their way back from the foot of the Midlands 1 East table, sat four from the bottom in 11th.

Rock bottom of the Midlands 4 East, their 31-0 home loss to Bedford Swifts was their seventh in seven, still having only notched up 24 points.

The Poppies were unfortunate 1-0 losers to Redditch on a historic day for football in Corby and Kettering. As chairman Imraan Ladak secured the club’s short-term future, an illness has kept him away for the past week or so, leaving Ritchie Jenue to secure a temporary home for The Poppies. As they could not get the power turned back on at Nene Park in time arrangements were made for the fixture to be played at Corby’s Steel Park. Mr Jeune, speaking before the game took place, said: “As a club, we are so very grateful to Corby’s chairman, board and supporters and Corby Borough Council for allowing us to use their ground. “The work that Kevin has done for us over the last few days with talking to safety officers, the council and the police over the last few days has been amazing and we have to thank him for it. At the moment, it is a one-game agreement. “As far as my involvement is concerned, I was asked by Imraan, who is ill, to step in and see if I could help put the game on. With the great help of Kevin and Corby Town, we have managed to do that.”
STEEL PARK: Kettering Town marked a historic day for local football in Northants with a 1-0 defeat.
It has come to light that Kettering’s Ritchie Jeune had called Corby chairman, Kevin Ingram, in the late hours of the Monday night before the pitch rental arrangement. Ingram said: “Where there is a will, there is a way and Ritchie and I spoke into the early hours of Tuesday morning and now we have reached an agreement for this weekend only initially. “It has taken a lot of work to get to this point with discussions with Corby Borough Council, the Safety Advisory Group and the police. “Ritchie has provided the financial guarantees that we needed.

In a tightly contested match it was the hosts who carved out the first goalscoring opportunity. However, Paul Walker pushed a close range header round the post to keep the scores at 0-0. Much of the pre-match talk had been about Josh Moreman, whose great run of form saw him named Blue Square Bet North player of the month for October. The former Deeping Rangers striker showed why he is so highly rated on 18 minutes, when some good work between Webb, Wedderburn and Malone set him through on goal, with his show going narrowly wide of the Wealdstone goal. Moreman was in the thick of the action again minutes later when he was sent off for dissent, after protesting that he was fouled. This left the Blue Square Bet North side with a mountain to climb against the in-form stones. Chris Plummer’s men dug deep however and continued to match their opponents all over the pitch despite their one-man disadvantage. And they were handed a great chance to take the lead, when Sam Ives was fouled and the referee pointed to the spot.

The league’s recommendation of changing this to two each season was unanimously defeated. There was also a defeated call from Overstone Park to use average points to decide league standings, as opposed to total points. Again, this was dismissed quite quickly, following a debate.

one-game deal was agreed between the two football clubs only and the CTST has not been involved in the negotiations in any way. “Members of the steering group have met with Kevin Ingram and raised the topic however, at which time any queries or fears raised by the supporters previously were raised and answered openly by the chairman. More information can be found at: www.ctfctrust.org.uk.” The Poppies’ first Evo-Stik Southern League Premier Division game since their first of three postponed games back at the beginning of October would take place at Corby’s home ground. This would be following Kettering meeting ‘certain conditions’ from the league to ensure they could still fulfil fixtures. This also resulted in their transfer embargo being lifted, meaning they could field a full 11 and five substitutes. A slight doubt still hangs over the payment of the Company Voluntary Agreement (CVA) put in place during the summer. It also sheds light on the shrewdness of the decision to sign a 25 year lease at Nene Park last year.
