As we roll into a new year and welcome 2022 into our lives, it is unsurprisingly mixed with some trepidation as we wonder what is just ahead for us. The last couple of years have been hard and at some point, we have all been touched and affected by the forever changing world that we live in. Something that I have learnt over this time is that we can only live in the ‘present’... there is no point in worrying about the past, it’s gone, and we can’t change it and don’t stress about the future as it hasn’t happened yet. On that note, I would now like to wish you all a Happy New Year and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I’m sure many overindulged (like myself) and I put no limit on the amount of turkey or chocolate I could eat over the festive period. The Island comes to a bit of a standstill in January but if you have any events happening in February or March, please send me the details and I can share them on our ‘Dates for your Diary’ pages. Inside this issue you will find the regular news reports from local councillors, information, editorials, puzzles, and adverts from local businesses. As I am always known for saying “please support local businesses and use their services when you can.” All our advertisers work really hard and the last couple of years have been hard hitting to many of them so I know they will appreciate your support. If you have community news and information that you would like to share or are a business that would like to advertise with us, then please get in touch by any of the means below. Island Magazines prides itself on working with and serving the community and I would like to thank all contributors, advertisers, and readers for your continued support. Have a great January and I look forward to catching up with you again next month.

‘Walkabout’ with Michael Paler

Contact Details:- 07483251960 or email michaelpaler@btinternet.com December was a month of many Christmas events which I attended. The celebration of 100 years of the County Federation of WIs on the Isle of Wight and the service of thanksgiving at Newport Minster displayed flowers from all the groups. East Cowes Town Crafters spent many hours decorating the town with craft decorations made over the year. They also put on a Christmas tree festival in the Conservative Club over two days which was well attended. Kings Square and the Well Rd car park was the venue for the Christmas market and joined by Garage Inc. York Avenue, this was a successful event. St Mildred’s Church Whippingham held a Christmas tree festival over four days with creative trees from many parts of the island. The Christmas tree in Kings Square was decorated by Queensgate school placing messages in clear balls on the tree. The Isle of Wight Volunteer Centre will be holding a Community Day at the East Cowes Town Hall on 15th January between 1-4pm. This is to show opportunities to be involved with different groups around East Cowes. I look forward to seeing you there. Friends of the ORP Blyskawica Society have been busy making plans for the 80th Anniversary in East Cowes for the May bank holiday week. More details will be available soon. Dimbola Museum and Galleries have extended their Gered Mankowitz ‘Iconic Jimi’ until Spring, photos of legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix. It’s a good place for a stop to eat and enjoy the view over Freshwater Bay.

Baby steps to big change by Maggie Currie It is usually best to ease into a big change by starting small. By making small changes with baby steps we allow ourselves to grow into a new habit and make it a permanent part of our lives. Making a sudden change may set us up to fail and that will make it difficult to go on, and we will be more likely to revert to our old ways. But don’t despair, even if we have made a sudden change and find ourselves contemplating the choice to start over again, we can decide to take it slowly this time, and move forward. The goals we set for ourselves are indicators of the need for change and are very useful in getting us moving in the right direction. However, it is possible that once we try out what we thought was ideal, we may find that it doesn’t actually suit us, or make us feel the way we had hoped. By taking baby steps we have the chance to look around and consider other options as we learn and grow. We have time to examine the underlying values of the desire for change and find ways to manifest those feelings, whether it looks exactly like our initial goal or not. Taking baby steps forward gives us time to adjust and find secure footing on our new path. Often life doesn’t give us the opportunity to anticipate or prepare for a big change, and we may find ourselves overwhelmed by what is in front of us. By choosing one thing to work on at a time, we focus our attention on something manageable, and eventually we will look up to see that we have accomplished quite a bit. Forcing change is, in essence, a sign that we do not trust the universe’s wisdom. Instead, we can listen to our inner guidance and make changes at a pace that is right for us, ensuring that we do so in alignment with the rhythm of the universe. If this has resonated with you in any way, please get in touch. I want to work with you so you have more freedom, more fun, less stress. I offer coaching and mentoring to you – for you to make the changes you want to in your life. Build your confidence in your abilities. Read my clients’ testimonials here. To help you to have more fun, more freedom and less stress. That is it. There is no catch. I believe in you. 6

A New Day, Month & Year For the majority of people, January symbolises new beginnings and a fresh start. For others, it’s just another ordinary month! Check out these facts about January and some notable historical events that happened in this month throughout history. The name for January comes from the Roman god, Janus, who is always depicted with two heads. He uses one head to look back on the year before, and the other head to look forward into the New Year! Couples tend to separate or divorce more so in January than any other month of the year. If you were born in January, your birthstone is a garnet!

Grief is overwhelming. Let us help. If you’re struggling after someone close to you has died, there’s lots we can do to support adults and children. We can provide information, advice or simply listen. Find out how we can help you by: Visiting - www.cruse.org.uk Calling us on 01983 523030 Email us at isleofwight@cruse.org.uk

Some historical names for January include “Wulfmonath,” which came from the Anglo-Saxons because it was the month hungry wolves would come scavenging. King Charlemagne would call it “Wintermanoth” meaning “winter/cold month.” Originally, the Roman calendar had only 10 months, and it excluded January and February. King Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome, is responsible for adding both January and February to the Roman calendar. He did this so calendars would be equivalent to a lunar year. Even so, it only had 30 days. Julius Caesar added the 31st day to the month and completed it to the full month of January we practice now! Generally, January is the coldest month of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. January has two zodiac signs – Capricorn, which is until January 19, and Aquarius, which is for the rest of the month. The dianthus caryophyllus is the birth flower of January – more commonly known as the carnation! The first Penal Colony in Australia was established in January 1788 by the British in order to relieve overcrowded English prisons.

A unique local shop that attracts residents from all areas is determined to make sure the High Street doesn’t disappear. Owner of Cowes Town Central, Steve Tewkesbury has created a unique interactive shopping experience in the Centre of Cowes High Street. Inspired by The Shambles, in York, CTC is an Aladdin’s cave, department store, and fourteen individual shops rolled into one!!! Based in the former NatWest Bank Building, every nook and cranny has been converted into a unique shopfront including the vault and the hole in the wall, yet it remains open planned with plenty of space. A lot of thought has gone into the design and each individual shop has been hand-picked for its unique wares. ‘Socks of Cowes’ has a range to meet every taste and their vast collection of ‘Good Mood Socks’ are a well-known brand for something a bit different and they now come with matching ladies’ briefs, but do not worry if you are more of a traditionalist as they also stock other brands including a range of thermals! The whole experience of shopping here has been made interactive and you can try before you buy hand and body creams and lotions in Aquazen Bath and Body Care. That Umbrella Shop has every colour, pattern, and style you could possibly want and the main focal point throughout the whole of Cowes Town Central is that every budget is catered for. While wandering through the themed streets as shown on the map opposite you will come across surprises and delights within each unique shop and together there are over 7,000 products with plans to expand in the near future. This really is the one and only type of shopping experiences of this kind on the Island and when you get here you will find that it’s probably more of an attraction (without an entrance fee to pay). There is much to see and do, the space is open, and you are encouraged to wander from room to room and be safe in the knowledge that all government guidelines are being followed and is fully compliant including the automatic electronic temperature reader at the front of the store and the UV light virus killer machine that cleans the air. If you can’t get to the shop in person, don’t worry as you can shop from the comfort of your own home and still enjoy the experience of 14 shops under one roof at www.cowestowncentral.co.uk Ensuring our High Street stays alive with ‘fresh inspirational ideas’ is important to Steve who is community orientated and when Cowes did not have a main Post Office he stepped forward and found room in his shop to accommodate a Post Office counter and took on staff to run this vital community asset.

A ‘New You’ for 2022 - 7 top tips for successful weight loss from Slimming World January is famous for New Year’s resolutions – and this year that feeling is likely to be stronger than ever, as we emerge from the worst of the pandemic. Here are seven top tips to help you taste the freedom and make 2022 your healthiest and happiest. 1. Don’t go hungry - To lose weight you have to eat less, right? The kind of food you’re eating is much more important than the volume. Slimming World’s Food Optimising plan shows members how to make healthier choices to satisfy their appetite and lose weight beautifully, without hunger or guilt. 2. It’s OK to walk before you run! - If it’s your goal to get fitter, remember you don’t have to become a professional athlete to get active - just making a commitment to moving more all adds up. 3. Be kind to yourself - We all start January with great intentions, but it’s all too easy to go off track. It’s what you do next that matters most – and the most important thing is not to beat yourself up about it. 4. Set a goal - It’s hard to achieve a goal if you don’t clearly set it out in the first place! In fact, Slimming World research found that slimmer’s who set ambitious targets lose twice as much weight as those who try to be ‘realistic’. 5. Don’t opt for a quick fix - It’s no secret that many people find losing weight far easier than keeping it off long-term. It’s important to approach weight loss as a permanent change to your lifestyle. 6. Strike a balance - Restricting yourself when it comes to food and drink might work in the short-term, but pretty soon you’ll be fed up, hungry and giving up completely. Having a flexible approach and a balanced mindset is much more likely to deliver long-term success.

News Report from Town & County Cllr Karl Love - East Cowes. Email: karl.love@iow.gov.uk Facebook: Cllr Karl Love Congratulations to East Cowes Business You will have seen and hopefully Association and East Cowes Crafters for made comments about the their wonderful efforts prior to Christmas consultation on the waterfront in putting on the Town Market and Crafters plan and the levelling up public realm Fair. It takes an awful lot of effort to scheme held at the Columbine Building organise these events and our community in December. There was also a chance to is blessed to have such a wonderful team of look around the Classic Boat Museum for volunteers and organiser. The town market free within the consultation. If you have was bigger and grander than in previous not visited the Classic Boat Museum, it’s years and had at the centre an additional well worth a look as it’s been expanded and Christmas Tree adding colour and refreshed. There were some very interesting atmosphere. This was provided by the East comments with people engaging and Cowes Town Council which your local tax really passionate about the scheme. This precept pays for. Christmas was once again is an important location which our town disrupted by new Covid rules, but I know people are very protective of. There will how you have all tried hard to comply with be further opportunity to make comments the changing regulations and rules. I do as the development will require a planning hope you were able to enjoy Christmas and application for some of the proposed are looking forward to 2022. Have you change of use and developments. While not made any new year resolutions? I have everyone will be happy with the changes, decided my resolution is to make more it’s important to remember that this building of an effort to visit my now family in the is an important heritage asset for our town north and to try to be healthier. January and island and thankfully its future will be is a time when some people can feel alone secured. We shall endeavour to ensure that and isolated, perhaps your resolution can the very best of its use can be made for the help support others during early dark sky community as a whole. months. If we can all please just look out for our neighbours and friends, perhaps having a chat over the fence or pop round We have had some very big storms in for a coffee, subject to restrictions, it can November and December. They are make all the difference. definitely becoming more powerful and destructive. It is a sign of the changing You will have seen the new signage climate. Please can I ask people to drive advertising for our Esplanade placed on slowly in flood water especially if that water the wall at the bottom of Old Road and is near and adjacent to people’s homes. The Maresfield Road. The signage was created wash from speeding cars or lorries can flood after a town competition was held and in their homes. I will always try to be out and which many young people participated in about offering support in extreme weather the design of it. The competition was won especially at high water when there is a risk by Isabelle Dove who’s from Holy Cross of flooding. I’m trying to establish at what Catholic Primary School and her artwork point do the new temporary flood defences will be displayed there for many years to be erected! The flooding in early December come. The esplanade will see many changes was higher than normal and some homes coming soon and we look forward to these came close to flooding. The Environment positive changes. continued over the page

News Report from Cllr Karl Love continued Agency is responsible for making the decision to deploy the defences, but we need to seek clarity of the system and what are the specific indicators that trigger their use. In other news, Cllr Sharon Lake is still working on the landslip project and we will see some progress in the coming months one way or another. I am very confident of this work being achieved and have every confidence in Sharon and her team. Some news about Norris Castle - The Developers have now submitted their planning applications for the estates of Spring Hill and Norris Castle. I do not know at this time what the plans look like or consist of. I cannot comment further until I have seen the documents which is to ensure I have all the facts and information in line with the process. It is expected that after the council officers verify the application they will then be published for public consultation and comment. I expect this will be very soon in January. There will be a great deal of interest in this application as it has been in discussion and its making since 2016. There have been previous town meetings and this application will be of interest to our whole community. Please post your comments about the application to the Planning Office at Sea Close or do them on the planning application online. Comments on social media are interesting but they do not count within the application process itself. As soon as the documents go online, I will inform you. It will be a very significant and sizable application so please take time to digest the documents as I will do. This is the first of what I expect to see other important development planning applications during 2022 for East Cowes and Whippingham. Finally, I continue to work hard as the Adult Social Care (ASC) Member responsible for

the Island. It is taking up a lot of time and you may have noticed I am not about as often as I previously was. I am however keeping my eyes open and trying hard to represent you. We are approaching the thorny issue of setting council Tax and Precepts for 2022. I am very aware of what a tough year it’s been with many rising costs such as energy and goods. I have made no secret that our Islands ASC funding and staffing is under immense pressure from the Central Government still applying Austerity measures to the detriment of our council next year of 3 million. We have not received a penny of the 5,4 Billion promised by Boris Johnson to fix ASC. We are just about keeping our head above water with some fancy savings but all the time we are losing money, and this is simply not a sustainable position for our Island even with as yet, an unquantified amount of promised ‘Island Deal’ funding. If they give us 6 million in reality, we get just 3 as we still have to make savings. This means in the 23/24 budget that 6 million will be net Zero. Leaving us precisely where we are now, struggling. We need ASC to have its own funding on top of an Island Deal to boost our current position, pay a better wage, attract more staff and support an ever-increasing population requiring health services and support. The fact is we inherited a near empty piggy bank form the previous administration and with rising costs our council will not be sustainable in the not-too-distant future. We must have more government funding. There is still a great deal to be optimistic about for our lovely town as it changes. If we look after our environment and ensure that we are listening and leading the way, we can make a positive but slow recovery for Covid. Take care and I look forward to seeing you all in this New Year.

Climate Change... Let’s all do our bit The hard-hitting news that the planet will reach its global warming limit within the next 20 years, causing irreversible environmental damage and more extreme weather events can no longer be ignored.

Research shows that by freeing up farmland to grow more trees, worldwide veganism would reduce greenhouse gases by 13 million tonnes over 20 years, which would amount to a 25% cut in global emissions.

Latest reports call for “rapid and large-scale reductions in greenhouse gas emissions”, Avoid fast fashion urging people to treat climate change as an Our taste for fast, cheap and disposable “immediate threat”. fashion is hurting the environment.

Transporting and processing waste for recycling requires a lot of energy, which means higher CO2 emissions. So, before you recycle, look to see if you can reduce and reuse first. Reduce food waste Buy fruit and vegetables loose, freeze as much as you can and buy only as much as you need to cut waste. In the UK we throw away 17 per cent of our food uneaten – eliminating this waste alone would save 370kg a year of CO2 and save the average household around £500 a year. Wash clothes at low temperatures Avoid washing anything above 30ºC, and dry things on a line rather than in the tumble drier. Higher temperatures mean more energy is needed to heat the water, and modern washing tabs are able to do their job at cooler temperatures. Change your lightbulbs Swapping all your energy-guzzling lightbulbs for environmentally friendly LED ones saves 100kg of CO2 a year – an easy change that makes a difference.
