I was appalled to see the drunkern antics of some young people in Goldthorpe on the national news celebrating the death of Mrs Thatcher. I only hope that people across the rest of Britain don’t “tar us all with the same brush” here in Barnsley. We may not have agreed with her politics but to celebrate in the way they did was nothing short of embarrassing - especially as some shown on TV were too young to even remember the strike.

A “touchy” subject Sarah. Thatcher and her government single handedly destroyed the mining industry in Barnsley which had a catastrophic effect on local communities which (in part) has produced some of the major problems in our town today. The anger is obviously still here particularly amongst some young unemployed people who must feel she is to blame.

Jakey’s Journey Charity Event A Charity Event has been planned to help raise funds and awareness for local lad Jake Blatch who has Diamond Blackfan Anaemia (DBA). Diamond Blackfan Anaemia is a rare blood condition usually diagnosed before 12 months of age where patients fail to produce red blood cells properly and may need treatment ranging from monthly blood transfusions to regular steroid treatment, and in some cases bone marrow transplants. The event held at Jump WMC in July will have the one and only Lady Bacardi starring and it promises to be the Charity Event of 2013. Jake himself describes DBA in the letter to the Barnsley Eye on the right and asks that you visit the website below to find out more about the condition.
Hi my name is Jake and I have a very rare blood disorder called Diamond Blackfan Anemia. This means my bone marrow doesn’t produce red blood cells which carry the oxygen around my body, this only effects 600-700 people in the world and only a 105 in the UK. I was very very poorly at first and mummy and daddy weren’t sure if I was going to live or die for a while. My hemoglobin level was very low at 3.7. I was having transfusions every week at first, and they then it became monthly.
Once my levels reached 8 I was able to start on a steroid medication which could help me. I started on a very high dose of 20mg a day and at first this wasn’t working and I was still having blood transfusions on a regular basis. Mummy and daddy were told that I would be in need of a bone marrow transplant but then 1 day my body starting reacting to the medication, and I am now maintaining.
I still have bad days and I have to go for fortnightly check ups and one day the medication could just stop working and a transplant will then be needed but we live each day as it comes and enjoy all the good days and hold on during the bad ones.
For more information on Diamond Blackfan Anaemia visit:
http://diamondblackfan.org.uk DBA UK is a registered charity (1083179) run by elected volunteers and governed by a written constitution. They aim to deliver support, research and hope to the DBA community by brining families together to share their experiences, communicate the latest medical information and raise funds to support those with DBA in the UK.
We want to raise funds and awareness for DBA UK so they can keep up the good work they do supporting families like mine. So please visit the website and donate any amount you can spare. Thank you for all your support. - Be Happy - Jake x

On Your Bike to Fight Cancer!
Local veterinary surgeon Caroline Richards and partner for Barnsley Vets4Pets is warning dog owners to be on the lookout for a potentially fatal disease caused by infection from the lungworm parasite (Angiostrongylus vasorum). Last year’s damp summer and mild winter conditions have proved ideal for slug and snail populations, leading experts to warn of a continued spread of lungworm in the UK. A study by the RVCi shows that lungworm is spreading beyond the traditional geographic distribution with 20 per cent of veterinary practices across the country reporting at least one case of the parasite.
Everyone can get on their bike and help fight cancer. You can choose from the 35 mile Ultimate Pedal, the 4 mile Grand Pedal or the 2 mile Mini Pedal. There really is a ride for everyone so please join us for this fantastic day and help raise vital funds to improve the lives of cancer patients in this area. This Father’s Day (Sunday, June 16) you can do something amazing and help keep more families in this area together for longer by joining our ride and raising vital funds to support our work. Whether you’re riding in memory of a loved one, in celebration of your family or in hope of a better future to come; join us on this special day and let’s pedal together to help fight cancer. The 35 mile road ride begins at Worsbrough Mill, taking in the Trans Pennine Trail before hitting the open road and heading out into beautiful South Yorkshire countryside. The ride will meander through green fields and local villages before passing Cold Hiendley Reservoir and eventually looping back around and heading back towards the Mill. The ride has a challenging yet achievable profile, including a number of gentle hill climbs and enjoyable sections of road riding. The route has a total gain of 965 ft, starting at 188 ft and reaching 515 ft at the highest point. The route will be comprehensively marshalled and First Aid and support will be on hand in the unlikely event you should need it.

Lungworm is a parasite that dogs become infected with after eating common garden slugs and snails carrying the larvae. Once inside the dog’s system, the parasite travels through the body eventually ending up in the heart. If the infection is left untreated, the dog’s health can rapidly deteriorate, and can even result in death. To help raise awareness of the parasite, Caroline Richards is joining other vets and owners nationwide in support of the national ‘Be Lungworm Aware’ campaign. The scheme will offer support and education to owners and vet practices throughout April, which has been labelled ‘Lungworm Awareness Month’. Caroline Richards explains “Dogs which have picked up a lungworm infection can show a number of different symptoms. Lungworm often gives rise to breathing difficulties, ranging from a lack of energy to coughing. However, the symptoms can be varied and some dogs may appear healthy in the early stages of infection, so if owners are concerned about their dog’s health, they should contact their veterinary practice for further advice”. Routine use of a specific treatment, available from veterinary surgeons, prevents dogs from developing a lungworm infection. Some pet owners believe that lungworm can be prevented using conventional worming tablets, which is unfortunately not the case.

Sculpture Set For Chamber Charity Appearance
A notable special guest will be present to do ‘his’ bit for good causes when Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber of Commerce holds its award-winning President’s Charity Ball next month – in the form of a model of the iconic Man of Steel sculpture. The 125-foot sculpture will overlook the area from a site in Kimberworth, Rotherham when it is erected in 2015 and the model will be present when the ball is held at the nearby Magna Science Adventure Centre on Saturday 11 May. Themed around ‘Yorkshire Pride’, the ball will celebrate the region’s mining and steel heritage, then travel into its future at the forefront of technological and manufacturing excellence. The event will also recognise Yorkshire’s superb businesses and the region’s cultural prowess in sport, music and art with entertainment from the Gillian Banks Theatre School. “This wonderful occasion will be a celebration of ‘Yorkshire Pride’, recognising the ambition and achievements of innovators and entrepreneurs across the region and the Man of Steel will add to this; honouring the steel and coal heritage of the City Region and embracing the new technology sector led by facilities such as the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre in Rotherham,” said the Man of Steel sculptor Steve Mehdi.
Steve Mehdi (left) and his business partner Paul Blackburn.
“Holding the ball at Magna chimes well with the historic connections of this former steel producing facility and giant of the industry - Steel, Peech & Tozer. Magna captures this bygone atmosphere well and offers a glimpse of an age when Britain - especially Barnsley and Rotherham - led the world in steel and coal production. It now stands as a reminder of the past but at the centre of the next generation of entrepreneurs, surrounded by companies who are setting new standards others will follow, adding new meaning to the term ‘Yorkshire Pride!” Owen Gleadall, President of Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber, said: “It is fitting that the Man of Steel will join us at Magna for this year’s ball as we mark the 100th anniversary of Harry Brearley’s discovery of stainless steel with our ‘Yorkshire Pride’ celebration. Guests will have a unique opportunity to see and be photographed with the model, in addition to enjoying a special Yorkshire-themed menu and superb entertainment provided by the Gillian Banks Theatre School. It will be a night not to be missed so book your places now!” Funds raised on the evening will be donated to four charities – the Barnsley and Rotherham Street Pastor Groups, the Barnsley Churches Drop-In Project (BCDP) and Shiloh - a Christian charity helping Rotherham people living in poverty, transition, oppression and homelessness to rebuild their lives. The ball is a past winner of the prestigious Insider Business Tourism Awards ‘Corporate Event of the Year’ prize and will mark the key social developments and business achievements which have helped shape Yorkshire into the vibrant region it is today. Tickets are priced at £65 plus VAT, or £500 plus VAT for a table of 10. A wide range of sponsorship opportunities are also available, starting at just £30 plus VAT.

08 Eye on Local News “Dogs Land” Comes to The Civic on the 4th May Yorkshire-based contemporary dance company, Mad Dogs Dance Theatre, presents the world premiere tour of Dogs Land, a new hard-hitting contemporary dance theatre work choreographed by Artistic Director Douglas Thorpe. Written by Yorkshire-based playwright Joanne Hartley, the piece uncovers a touching story of love, power and emotional attachment between man and wife. Provocative and profane, Dogs Land examines the relationships between two couples living in East London gang land. Within both relationships there are tensions and delusions. Time and space blur as each tragic individual reaches out tenderly for something that feels real. Jealous anger explodes, driving the story to a full throttle dramatic climax as relationships are pushed to the limit. A high impact, ‘full throttle’ piece of work, Dogs Land also has a surprising tenderness, exploring what happens when relationships fall apart. Mad Dogs Dance Theatre was founded in 2008 as the company of Douglas Thorpe. Since its foundation the company has committed to creating extremely explosive, powerful, physical dance theatre, with its based in Leeds, Yorkshire UK. To date, the company have created and toured 5 works – Dry Toast (2008), Beast (2009), A mind as beautiful (2010), Missing (2012-2013) and Dogs Land (2012-2013). Following the success of Beast, Douglas was commissioned to work with Internationally acclaimed ACE Dance & Music and Phoenix Dance Theatre whose work toured extensively throughout the UK and beyond during 2009-2010. In 2011, Douglas was commissioned to create a new work for Staatstheatre Tanz Braunschweig, Germany. This was shortly followed by a commission from Leeds Canvas and Brothers Quay to create a new work for Overworld’s and Underworld’s, Yorkshire Cultural Olympiad project that took over Leeds City Centre in May 2012. This work has since gone on to be presented at Yorkshire Dance and Dance City and will be presented at Dancebase as part of the Edinburgh Festival

Hospice Launches Volunteers Appeal For Inpatient Unit New volunteers are being sought to help provide care for patients staying at Barnsley Hospice. The hospice is urgently seeking dedicated people to work as auxiliary nurse support volunteers in its Inpatient Unit (IPU) plus volunteers for the unit’s kitchen. The IPU has ten rooms and is staffed around the clock, every day of the year, by specialist nurses who are part of a team of professionals. Both patients and their loved-ones have access to a range of services. Auxiliary nurse support volunteers carry out a range of jobs. These include helping to wash and move patients, sitting with them or reading to them, greeting visitors, and changing beds. Current volunteer Sam Prince, (right) aged 19, who is on a gap year before going to medical school, took up the role two years ago and spends every Saturday morning at the hospice, at Gawber. Sam, from Cudworth, decided he wanted to donate his time after initially doing a school work experience placement as a fund-raiser. He said as well as giving him valuable experience for his future career it was personally “very, very rewarding”. He commented: “Every time you leave, you have a massive sense of accomplishment because you’re making a different to people’s lives.” Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer should get in touch with volunteer services manager Barbara Cronin for an initial chat. Ring Barbara on 01226 323620, email barbara.cronin@barnsley-hospice.org or visit www.barnsleyhospice.org

Hillies Swings Back Into Action with Revamped Course On May 15th Hillies Golf Course in Wombwell will be visited by Cllr Linda Burgess to officially open the revamped course.

THE RADIO M. Jonathan Lee A comedy so black that youd have to eat a lot of carrots to know whether Georges adventures are actually visible. The Radio centres around the decline of the lovable, yet hapless George Poppleton, a middle-aged, henpecked father and husband who stumbles across an old transistor radio in his loft. His obsession with listening to the radio drives him on an unexpected journey, fuelled by the painful memories of the suicide of his only son many years before. M. JONATHAN LEE was born in Barnsley from 16-19 he ran a mail order collectible music store which he then sold. He went to university in Preston, travelled the world for a year and then got married and had three children. After getting a divorce four years ago, Jonathan wrote his first novel. In between seeing his children and running a tax department for an IFA, he writes whenever he can. The Radio was shortlisted for The Novel Prize 2012 and Jonathan is currently working on his second novel, The Page.

It would be very easy to get carried away with a job like mine – I can understand how divas are made. People stop me in the street and say how much they like the books, they ask for autographs and go all twittery when I sign books for them. It’s very flattering and seductive. However, if I did get ‘up myself’ I would feel a virtual clout around my ears, I’m sure. I was, as my godmother so nicely puts it, born in the wrong place to get up my own ****. I was once signing a book for an elderly lady who said to me, ‘I’ve seen you in the Chronicle this week. And on the TV. And doing a talk in the library. ’ ‘I know,’ I replied, ‘I’m everywhere at the moment.’ ‘Aye,’ she replied. ‘Like dog muck. That’s everywhere at the moment as well.’ No you can’t get up yourself with comments like that. And they aren’t just confined to strangers – family put in their two pennorth as well. There I was, swanking off my new Merc to my dad – flicking on the heated seats, demonstrating the parking sensors and the Bluetooth phone. ‘Hmm,’ he wrinkled up his nose. ‘Doesn’t play cassettes does it though?’ I admitted defeat – it doesn’t. My swanky car does not impress dad. Neither did my Mont Blanc pen which my beloved bought me for Christmas. ‘How much are the refills for that going to be?’ asked dad, a proper Yorkshire question. And when I treated myself in the old house to a chandelier of that episode of Only Fools and Horses’s grandeur,
his only comment was ‘How are you going to clean that?’ (my answer was that I wasn’t, in case you’re wondering). My parents are still waiting for me to get a proper job. Any grand ways will not wash with them. When someone commented how lovely my house looked on Come Dine With Me, dad told them that ‘It’s the first time he’s seen it tidy.’ Nope – can’t get up myself. You can guarantee that when one person gets excited when they see me in town and says to her friend, ‘Look it’s Milly Johnson.’ The friend nearly always says ‘Who?’ I then have to stand there wishing the ground would swallow me up whilst the person tries to explain what I do whilst the friend’s blank expression never lifts. Nope, you just cannot get afford to get up yourself, you’ll only get chopped down. I’m a long way off demanding riders of bowls of blue smarties and a box full of fluffy kittens to play with. To be honest, even if I were in a position of being able to demand a rider – I think my ask wouldn’t cause too much upset: egg mayo (Hellmann’s and not of that light stuff either) and spring onion sandwiches on granary, a foot long eclair and a pint of Baileys. That’s as far up myself as I hope I ever go and I’m presuming that I wouldn’t get too much of a clip around my virtual ear for it.

Why These Food Cravings? The Barnsley Eye spoke with fitness expert Shane Williams at Lifestyle Fitness on Peel Parade to get an insight on how to beat those unhealthy food cravings. Chocolate. Salt. Sugar. Cravings are sometimes too hard to resist. Try these tips when it’s tough to say “no.”
Watch the Clock Don’t go more than five hours without eating something. If it’s time for a snack, choose food low in calories and fat.
Eat Protein Every meal should include some source of lean protein, such as skinless chicken or turkey, fish, eggs, or low-fat cheese. Foods containing protein help you feel fuller.
Wash Away Food Cravings Dehydration can cause some people to crave salty foods. A glass of refreshing water can also help you feel full. In fact, what you think are food cravings may actually be thirst.
Find a Distraction Find an activity that will take your mind off your craving without adding calories. Call a friend, go window shopping, make a virtual visit to your favourite stores online, tune into a game, listen to music, read or workout.
Brush Up Floss your teeth and rinse your mouth with a little mouthwash. Once your mouth is feeling clean and fresh, you won’t want to spoil it with salty chips or sugary sweets.
Spring into Action Instead of heading for the freezer, head for the front door and go for a walk around the block. The fresh air and exercise will calm you down and clear your head.
‘Refine’ Your Palate Eliminate refined foods from your diet. The more you eat, the more you want. Replace them with whole grains and fibre - eat more nuts, beans, legumes, fruits, vegetables, and whole-wheat foods.

14 Eye on Hair Recently at Karl Smith Men’s Grooming we decided after nearly 4 years in this unit at the lucorum building a little revamp was needed just to keep things fresh and add a bit of interest to the shop. This has come in the form of going back to the roots of our industry. At the moment we trying to recreate the feel of an old school barber’s with a touch of gentlemen’s club thrown in for good measures. This will be achieved not just with the decor but with the uniforms as well. So far the changes have been received really well with aray of antique berbering equipment on display along with old pictures of barber shops and barber related adverts from the late 19th and early 20th century, it’s created a real talking point for us and our clients. The recent changes have been inspired by a number of things, one being the number of our clients wanting clean old school styles including side parting, quifs and modern intercaptions of rocka billy styles. (right). This style has been created using two great products from Structure. Beach sea salt spray and Twist styling Gum. Whilst the hair is damp spray in the beach spray and start blowdry the hair thaw sea salt in the spray gives the hair great volume and control meaning not much styling product is needed on this occasion we used Twist styling Gum, which gave us a great shine on the finished style without setting solid.
Along with all the changes we are still offering a great wet shave experience and at the moment you can get a cut and furnish and a wet shave for just £20. This is a great way to wind down after a hard day at work. For an appointment just telephone 01226 208555 or pop in and see us at The Thomas Whitworth Forum / Hanson St. S70 2HZ

16 Eye on Style You can never have enough hand bags! Men may tease women about how many handbags they own but there is a valid reason for it: women need a handbag collection that is appropriate for various occasions and outfits. Handbags make a style statement. Get it right and you will look super stylish, get it wrong and you will either disappear in the crowd or ruin your whole look. Whatever look you are drawn to, your bag needs to be in balance with your overall scale: a small bag will look lost on a grand scale woman and a large bag will swamp a petite woman. The shape of your bag needs to follow the line of your body. If you have a straight body line you need structured bags, softer, unstructured bags work best for those with curves. What’s hot? Two very good investments are the tote and the clutch. The tote is the perfect daytime bag whilst the clutch you can use for evening or daytime
Final tips Try out handbags as you do clothes, checking in a mirror whether the scale, shape and colour work for you Make sure the handbag is suitable for its purpose. You may be wowed by a great design or colour, but if you can’t get all your belongings in it, you will end up not using it When you carry your handbag it will fall near your body so, if you have a large bust, carry your handbag at arm’s length by your leg or by your waist. If you are fuller around the waist and bottom area, avoid handbags dangling at that level You now have permission for a new bag!

The Care Homes
20th MAY DEMENTIA AWARENESS WEEK All of The Care Homes will be giving tea parties for Dementia Awareness Week which is Alzheimer’s Society’s annual flagship awareness-raising campaign. It will take place from 19-25 May 2013.
The Care Homes: Caring for old people & those with Dementia - Respite/Short Stay - Emergency Respite. Registered with the Care Quality Commission for the provision of individualized care of old people and Dementia Care which includes permanent, respite, short stay, emergency respite, end of life care and day services.
The theme for this year’s Dementia Awareness Week is talking. Worrying changes nothing. Talking changes everything. We’re all living longer. That means we’re all facing a higher risk of one day developing dementia. It may be you. Or it may be someone in your family. But what can you do about it? How do you recognise the signs? And how will you cope if you or someone you love develops dementia? One thing’s certain. The more we know about dementia, the more prepared we’ll be to face it.

Eye on Education 23
New Financial Help For Students Aged 24 or Over From April 2013 people aged 24 and over will be able to invest in their future by taking out a loan for Further Education. Currently, many learners have to pay an upfront fee in order to start their chosen course, but the new 24+ Advanced Learning Loans will mean there is nothing to pay until the learner is earning more than £21,000. This is a great opportunity for anyone returning to education after a break, those who need qualifications for work or business, or anyone who simply wants to learn a new skill or take a refresher course. For the first time in the UK, these loans will give learners in Further Education the access to financial support for tuition costs that many learners in University already benefit from. The loans are not means tested or credit checked and are available to anyone planning to study a full or part time Level 3 or Level 4 course, Access to HE course, A Level or Advanced and Higher Apprenticeship. Students will be able to apply for a loan to meet the upfront costs of their qualification, which will be paid directly to the College on their behalf. Barnsley College Principal, Colin Booth said: “This is a great way for adults to access courses that previously, for financial reasons, may have been out of their reach.” Rates of interest will be lower than anything currently available and outstanding balances will be written off after 30 years. Loans can be taken out for Access to Higher Education programmes and if the student subsequently progresses to a HE course, the 24+ Advanced Learning Loan will be written off. Learners with an existing degree qualification can also apply for a loan if they are looking to take a course for a career change. Prospective learners are encouraged to seek independent financial advice from The Money Advice Service at www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk before taking out a loan. For more information on 24+ Advanced Learning Loans for courses at Barnsley College please contact the Information Unit on 01226 216 123 or email info@barnsley.ac.uk or visit the website

Eye on Entertainment TUSH LIVE @ CAMRA BEER FESTIVAL 1/03/13
March saw a welcome return to MAGNA of the CAMRA Beer Festival. Around 3,000 people gathered around the main stage to enjoy a huge selection of real ales and great music as primo Friday night position was taken up by Rotherham based TUSH. This local band’s origins span twenty years, during which the have morphed into an extremely capable band, who on the night performed an eclectic mix of top quality rock and pop. Vocally led by charismatic Barnsley resident Roddy Bridges, alongside veterans John Fox on guitarist and Ian Crowther on drums, TUSH created a ‘Wall of Sound’ experience. With rhythm guitarist Paul Woodcock, Sam Earl on Bass and Liam Fretwell on synthesizer and keyboards, performing fluently, TUSH worked through an enjoyable and diverse set-list with passion, professionalism and consummate skill. Initiating the set with fantastic covers of Simple Minds, The Stereophonics, Stevie Wonder, The Cranberries and Muse, climaxing with a cracking performance of Kings of Leon’s ‘Sex on Fire’ by way of the finale. Throughout, the festival was extremely well organized and supported, and for me at least, topped off by a band well worth seeking out.

Dyer said: “We’re really excited and this promises to be a historic event for the town. I met Fabrice at the Reebok Stadium. He’s a great guy with a powerful story and he’s excited about coming to Barnsley. “A big talking point about the day will be the exhibition game. I’m close friends with Bobby but we will be opponents on that day and will be going up against each other aiming to win. “He keeps joking with me that I’ve put a bit of weight on since I retired but I’ve scored a lot of goals on that Oakwell pitch and I’ll be aiming to bag a couple more!” Confirmed players so far for the All-star exhibition match are:

2003 - 2013
What were you doing in December 2003? We here at The Barnsley Eye certainly remember the above date.......it was when the very FIRST issue of the Eye was produced. (right): It seems like ages ago and in that time the magazine has had it’s fair share of ups and downs especially in tough economic times but 5 things have always remained in our ethos throughout the 106 issues we have produced... 1. We strive to give away a quality FREE glossy publication to the people of Barnsley no matter who you are; rich or poor, young or old...it’s YOUR magazine! 2. We make sure that the news stories are always and of interest to everyday local people, not bringing about doom and gloom or touching on boring, controversial or political issues. 3. We always include a letters section where people are free to express themselves in any way they wish - we very rarely edit down these letters. 4. We try not to overload the magazine with adverts. Indeed - it is with the aid of revenue raised by advertising that the magazine can continue to be produced but we make sure there is always a balance between articles, columns, competitions, news, pictures and advertisements. 5. Where possible we use local people to produce the magazine and always give the public every opportunity to get involved through their own columns, writing, photography and art.
