Tramp in the Woods Living on an island we are spoiled for choice with local wildlife, and nothing beats the sighting of a red squirrel and it’s thanks to local photographer Tramp Woods that I can have the pleasure of sharing this one on the front cover. Dave Krowson AKA The Tramp (Tramp Woods) moved to the island after a sudden change in his life and after spending many hours sitting in the woods waiting for the opportunity to capture these beauties his friend nicknamed him Tramp in the Woods. The name stuck and has now been adapted into an online trademark through Instagram and Facebook.

Welcome to the May issue of Island Magazines. Another month has rolled by, and we have had some lovely sunny days, especially over the Easter weekend. There were many visitors to the Island who had the pleasure of experiencing what we have right on our doorstep. Do you sometimes forget how lucky we are to live here? I know I do...
Safe and trusted safaris, retreats and volunteering trips that benefit wildlife and local communities.
With another Bank Holiday due at the beginning of May let’s hope the sun is here to stay and then it seems the whole Island is getting ready for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June. I hope you enjoy this month’s issue which is packed with news and information along with some regular features and of course the puzzle section on pages 14 and 15 which I understand have become very popular.

A couple of warnings from Trading Standards. • The scammers are still trying to use Covid to their advantage and try to trick us into parting with money – A couple of texts have been reported, one stating that your Covid Pass is available and tells you to click a link to apply. You can obtain your Covid Pass through the NHS App or by calling 119. The other states that you have been in contact with someone who has Covid and you need to buy a test followed by a link, allegedly to the NHS. There is no longer a test and trace process – nobody would know if you had covid or had been in contact with somebody who did. These are SCAMS they can be forwarded to 7726 where the information will be gathered as intelligence into scams. • Another reminder about calls from domestic insurance providers. These are prolific and persistent – do not engage with them and don’t agree to take any insurance. These insurances generally aren’t worth the paper they’re written on and once you have signed up they will keep ringing. These cover items such as white goods, tv’s, Sky and drainage and all operate in the same way. We recently heard of a victim who had over 40 direct debits on his account to these insurances! • We have been contacted by a resident who had a couple of men at his door this week asking to buy his motor home – which they said they believed was for sale. These weren’t islanders and were travelling around in a white pick up. Their approach would be to try to negotiate a silly price or pay a deposit and drive the motor home away and you would never see it or the money again. DO NOT engage with anyone on the doorstep. 4

News report from Cllr Paul Fuller Elsewhere, I have been in touch with the IW Council’s Coastal Protection ‘Team’ concerning feedback following storm damage to properties and land west of Solent View Road. Environmental Issues • With summer fast approaching, please refrain from lighting bonfires on beaches? • A huge thank you to Gurnard Parish Council for arranging the latest litter pick. Thank you to the volunteers who gave up their Saturday morning and to lovely Kim and Mark from The Portland for offering a discount to litterpickers taking part! • I have received a number of complaints concerning the prevalence of rats on the Crossfield Estate. Please ensure food waste is kept secure in bins. If you do not have a secure food waste bin, let Waste Services know on 01983 823777. • I have requested graffiti and ongoing fly tipping is monitored and removed between Cowes and Gurnard seafront. Island Planning Strategy Since the last consultation, three new strategic policies have been included. These are: • BIO1 Isle of Wight Biosphere: Given the importance of the IW Biosphere designation and the role it plays showcasing Environmental benefits of the Island, and the associated key role that the environment will play in the Islands ability to achieve net zero, Strategic policy BIO1 will set out how this designation must be considered by all development coming forward on the Island.
• AFF1 Affordable Housing: Setting a clear definition of what ‘affordable’ housing is on the Island, rather than using the Government definition. This policy will encourage Town, Parish and Community Councils to undertake Housing Needs Surveys to help inform affordable housing provision. • INF1 Infrastructure: To ensure infrastructure provision is supported across the Island and that development makes an appropriate contribution (which could be physical or financial, or both). Strategic Policy INF1 will ensure that new infrastructure is provided or existing is upgraded. In addition there are policies to address Airbnb’s and its impact on holiday use and the private rental sector Since last year the Government has increased its housing allocation for the Island from 668 homes per annum to 730. In light of this the IW Council are seeking to build fewer homes due to the Islands special circumstances. The figure suggested as being sound is now 479 homes per annum. Last month the passage of the Island Planning Strategy was paused following a number of questions that were forthcoming from IW Councillors. From my perspective as Cabinet member it remains important to listen to feedback understanding how important and relevant the Plan is for the Isle of Wight.

What’s happening in our area by ‘Local and Vocal’ Lora Peacey-Wilcox JUBILEE: Newport Road will be recreating the events held in 1977.

Interesting Facts and Historical Events for May The name May is the modern-day English adaption of the Latin word Maius, which has origins going back to the time of the ancient Greeks. They named the month of May (or Maius) after the Greek goddess of growth. May used to have a very different name in Old English. Back then, the month was referred to as the “month of three milkings.” Unsurprisingly, this meant that during this month, you could milk your cows up to three times per day! May was once considered an incredibly ill-omened time to get married. There’s an adage for it actually, which goes: “Marry in May and you’ll rue the day.” It’s not clear where exactly the saying comes from, but there must have been a pretty good reason not to get married in one of the most beautiful months of the year! May isn’t just a bad time to get married, though. There’s one superstition that says that buying a new broom in May is unlucky. Oh, and apparently, you shouldn’t wash any blankets either! May is a pretty good month for US presidents. Every other month of the year, at least one US president has died, but never in May! May is the month that the Eurovision song contest is held every year and has been held every year since 1956 (with the exception of 2020). May is a special time for Star Wars fans worldwide. May the 4th is celebrated as Star Wars day, due to the way the date sounds similar to “May the Force be with you”. The Empire State Building formally opened its doors on May 1, 1931. At the point of its construction, it held the record for being the tallest building in the world. Many other sky-high constructions have since dwarfed it. Back in the day, it wasn’t a good May if you didn’t celebrate it with a maypole. In the UK, they were present since at least 1350 AD. Celebrants would erect a long pole and attach flowers, garlands, and strips of fabric to it, around which certain dances would take place. The birthstone for May is the emerald symbolising fertility and rebirth and May has two birth flowers – the Lily-of-the-Valley and the Hawthorn. The Hawthorn flower is a symbol of hope, while the Lily-of-the-Valley represents the return of happiness and sweetness. May also has two Zodiac signs, Taurus and Gemini. People born under the sign of Taurus are said to be ambitious and smart, yet trustworthy. Those born under the sign of Gemini are said to be passionate, adaptable, and smart. Many famous people were born in May, such as Queen Victoria, and Catherine the Great, Mark Zuckerberg, Karl Marx, Clint Eastwood, Wes Anderson and John F. Kennedy, 12

Soaring through the sky from March to October, swifts, swallows and martins follow their food and move to areas where insect populations are booming. These beautiful birds are all visitors to the UK, so let’s admire them while they are here! • Swifts are almost always on the go, only touching the ground to nest. • Swallows can be seen gathering on telegraph wires, or swooping low to gobble insects and collect mud. • House Martins often nest in groups, dashing between built-up areas as well as the countryside. • Sand Martins prefer to nest in colonies on rivers, lakes and flooded gravel pits.
