Dear Readers Welcome to the June issue of Island Magazines.

Now that the local elections are over we need to focus our attention on the general election which takes place on the 8th June.

Don’t forget to vote and have your say.

We are very lucky to have Lora PeaceyWilcox and Paul Fuller still happy and willing to supply local news reports ensuring readers are kept up to date with important information happening in the area.

Summer should be kicking in now and we have been very lucky so far as there have been some really nice days. The Island has many beautiful places to visit and in the Cowes area there is a choice of parks, the seafront and a lovely town with some unique independent shops and eateries.

Cowes really does have it all...

What is MND?....

Island Dental Services

June is The Motor Neurone Disease Association’s Awareness month and still there is a lot to learn about this debilitating disease.

Many people aren’t aware of the disease and mention the words MND and a common New patients always welcome response is “What’s that?” at our friendly private clinic

Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a progressive disease that attacks the motor neurones, or nerves, in the brain and spinal cord. As the motor neurones gradually die, the muscles stop working. This means messages gradually stop reaching muscles, which leads to weakness and wasting. It can affect how a person diagnosed with MND walks, talks, eats, drinks and breathes. It is a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disease that can affect any adult at any time. Although there is currently no cure, symptoms can be managed to help www.islanddentalservices.com achieve the best possible quality of life.

34 Castle Street, East Cowes The Isle of Wight has an established branch of the Motor Neurone Disease Association and their sole aim is to serve and support all those on the Island who are affected by it. This includes people with MND, their carers, family and friends, in fact anyone who has been touched in some way by the disease.

Snoring/Apnoea Problem?

We can help Call 291423

Jennie Lewis, Chair of the IOW branch, commented ‘We regularly have between 12-20 people living with MND on the Isle of Wight. Each person has a different set of requirements. The disease can take hold very quickly so we need to react immediately to the changing needs of our local people. Our brilliant team in the Island branch are able to work closely with other professionals on the Island (including very close links with the Earl Mountbatten Hospice) to provide the best possible care and support to help people with MND and their families.

The Isle of Wight branch is run entirely by volunteers, many of who have personal experience of the disease and they hold monthly support meetings for people living with MND and their carers. These meetings provide an opportunity to meet with other people living with the disease, and to share experiences and ideas.

The branch wants everyone to know about MND and what it means for people and their families so that others will join in the fight for the best standards of care and for more research.

If you would like further information about their meetings, or wish to get involved, please email the Chair of the IOW Branch, Jennie Lewis at eandjlewis@aol.com or visit the branch website www.mndiow.org.uk 6

I suggest you get your skates on because on Wednesday June 21st its Summer Solstice.

Even though this midsummer date is when we get the most daylight of the year, it also marks the time where the days start shortening ahead of winter.

The midsummer date is set based on the sun’s tilt towards the sun, which hits its maximum at 23° 26′ and falls between June 20th and June 22nd in the northern hemisphere.

The ‘longest’ day of the year marks the middle of summer because the tilt of the Earth’s axis is most aligned with the sun, providing us with the most daylight of the year.

Prep Work by Lucie Ferguson My body and mind is in a serious state of shock.... I have woken up and realised that the half-year mark is right in front of my eyes.

June... yes that’s right I said June is here.... I don’t know where the other 5 months have gone and I don’t have time to look for them right now, as it seems only a few weeks ago that I was making my New Year’s Resolutions.

By this time of the year I should have already dropped two dress sizes, I should be eating more healthily and getting myself beach body ready... and I don’t mean being mistaken for a beached whale lying harpooned on the sandy shores!!!!

My feet have been encased for far too long in ankle boots and are so white that they look like I’ve been dipped in a tin of Dulux paint.

There is no way they are ready for bejewelled summer sandals just yet. Another important job I need to get working on is my tan as no way can these white bits be put so glaringly on display. I’m a fake tanner as it’s quick, easy and it’s much healthier than sun beds or sunbathing.

I hope as you read this, there will be many of you who are nodding your head in agreement and feeling my pain. It’s not that I want to inflict this on others but more that I need to know I am not alone out there in this cruel world, that I won’t be the only one on our sandy beaches that didn’t stick to the New Year’s resolutions I so proudly declared a mere few months ago.

I have thought about setting myself some midyear resolutions and perhaps between now and the end of summer I may have toned my rather round shape slightly. But then I think of all the ice creams that need to be enjoyed, the ‘all you can eat’ barbecues I will be attending and all the summer cocktails I plan on sipping and the answer I keep coming up with is.... maybe next year!!!!
