Welcome to the June issue which marks the beginning of Summer. There is no better place to spend sunny days and long evenings than on our island with so much to see and surrounded by beautiful beaches and countryside. This issue also marks that we are halfway through the year already. How is your year going so far? Did you set yourself plans at the beginning of the year and have they happened or are they on the back burner? One of my plans this year was to spend more time outdoors, having great adventures on my bike, exploring the island on two wheels, and enjoying regular stops at local cafes and tearooms... sadly due to one thing and another this hasn’t happened so far, but I am not giving up and I hope to have those two wheels in motion very soon. Probably the biggest news for June is the Platinum Jubilee - it seems that communities across the island are coming together and have been planning all types of events, from picnics in the park, to crafts and markets, live music, and much more. If you are holding a street party, I hope you have a great day and feel free to send me any pictures of your event. This month’s issue is packed as normal, with news, advertisers, puzzles, and features. I hope you enjoy reading this issue and look forward to catching up with you again next month, until then have a fabulous June.

Interesting Facts and Historical Events for June June is a time when summer is really starting to get into full swing! Every day lasts just that little bit longer. There are multiple theories as to what the month of June was named after. One theory is that it was named after the Roman goddess of marriage, Juno. Another theory is that its name originates from the Latin word iuniores, which translates into “younger ones”. Yet another possibility is that the month was named after Lucius Junius Brutus, the founder of the Roman Republic. June was called ‘sera’ monath by the Anglo-Saxons, which translated into “dry month”. June used to be the fourth month in the year. Before Julius Caesar came to power, the calendar year only had 10 months. In 46 BC he created the Julian calendar by adding two more months to the year, which made June the sixth month. No other month in the year begins on the same day of the week as June. June has both the longest and the shortest day of the year ( June 21st), and depends on whether you live in the Northern or Southern hemisphere. Television licences were issued in Britain for the first time on 1 June 1946; they cost £2 If you were born on or before June 20th, then you’re a Gemini. Geminis are said to be passionate, adaptable, and smart. If you’re born on or after the 21st of June, though, then you have the Cancer star sign. Those born under this sign are said to be loyal friends with great emotional depth. June was apparently not very popular with William Shakespeare, as it was only referenced in two of his famous plays – Cleopatra, and Henry IV. The birth flowers of June are the honeysuckle and the rose. Both of these flowers are symbols of all things relating to love, desire, generosity, and affection. If you’re a big fan of tennis Wimbledon begins on June 27th. June has three birthstones – alexandrite, moonstone, and pearl. Alexandrite is said to represent longevity and health. Moonstones are said to bring good luck and are associated with love and passion. Finally, pearls, the main birthstones of June represent purity and faith. June 3rd, 1937, The Duke of Windsor married Wallis Warfield Simpson in Monts, France. As King Edward VIII, he had abdicated the British Throne in December of 1936 amid tremendous controversy to marry Wallis Simpson, an American who had been divorced. Following the wedding, the couple lived in France and had minimal contact with the British Royal family. The Duke died in Paris on May 28th 1972 and was buried near Windsor Castle. 4

News Report from Cllr. Michael Lilley for Ryde Appley and Elmfield & Mayor of Ryde. 07769 551 578 | Michael.lilley@iow.gov.uk www.michaellilley.uk Celebrating Ryde and Creating Hope! May 2022 has been a rollercoaster month and June will be even more as the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations get into full-swing. I am delighted and so proud to be asked and re-elected as Mayor of Ryde. The election of Mayor was at the Ryde Town Council’s Annual General Meeting on the 9th May. Celebrating Ryde Event on the 14th May Every year the Mayor hosts an Annual Town Meeting and this year it was held at Garfield Hall. It was an exhibition and presentation of what had been and what was going to be achieved in Ryde. There was a range of organisations exhibiting including the New Carnival Company, Birds Aware, Ryde Aspire, Ryde Community-Build, Ryde Society, Shademakers, Ryde Arts, IW Council, Ryde Town Council, Wave Beach Sports, Network Ryde (Youth Service) and Ryde Carnival. It was a celebration of a range of projects and initiatives that are happening now and that will start to fully develop in 2022/23. This includes St.Thomas’s Youth Centre, the Interchange, Ryde Marina and much more. Heraldic Beasts and Shademakers Shademakers is a Ryde based community enterprise that is world renowned for producing carnival props and shows. They are based in the Packs Building on Cross Street and recently received a £2.5 million grant from the Arts Council to develop an arts centre. They have been commissioned by the Queen’s Royal Pageant to perform in the Queen’s 6

Pageant Parade in London on the 5th June 2022. 270 local residents of all ages are involved and all will be travelling up to London. Amazing puppets have been designed that are operated by people inside and replicate the heraldic beasts that were part of the Queen’s Coronation in 1952. They are quite incredible and created in Ryde. The plan is the heraldic beasts will be on show later on in the summer at Ryde, Sandown and Newport Carnivals. Jubilee Events in Ryde – 2nd -5th June 2022 The Jubilee events in Ryde include a Celebrating Ryde Citizen’s Award Event at Captains Table and lighting the Beacon on 2nd June. Ryde’s Jubilee celebratory event in the Town Centre on the 4th June which has been organised by Ryde Town Council, New Carnival Company, Ryde Business Association, Monkton Arts and Ryde Arts. Ryde Rowing Regatta is also on the 4th June. There are also a range of Street parties and other events throughout the Town during the weekend. There is much to celebrate in the Town and much to enjoy. The events celebrated above involve hundreds and thousands of Ryde residents aged 0-100 and their talents and skills. It is about friendship, partnership, collaboration, working together, opportunity, inclusivity and hope. Together we make up Ryde and together we will create Ryde’s future.

From joy’s humble

crumble kitchen

In this issue we continue to look and find ways of helping each other along the difficult path that today’s living brings to so many of us. This month is about feeding the family for under £3 and these recipes will hopefully become a firm favourite. Next month we will be looking at ways to reduce food waste by making your vegetables go further, with suggestions for making edible use of peelings and skins.

TOP TIP Use the kettle to boil water quickly and transfer to pan on hob for boiling vegetables and pasta.

TOP TIP

Get rid of ants with cucumber peel – place strips of peel along their entry point – they don’t like it – not toxic, not expensive.

News Report from Cllr Phil Jordan - Ryde North West. Tel: 07929 376375 | Email: phil.jordan@iow.gov.uk Incredibly sad to hear about the recently announced closing of the Barclays Bank in Ryde High Street. I do fear this is a trend that will be followed by other banks as the world for many seems to have moved to online banking or mobile banking and the so-called cashless society. With many younger generations completely used to and at ease with electronic payments, often using just their phones, it is not hard to imagine that older generations who are less likely to be comfortable with electronic banking systems are the most vulnerable to these closures. It seems a trend that is likely to continue and along with the more recent exodus into online shopping, enhanced by the past two years of Covid restrictions, we can see our High Streets are seriously under threat. I am sure High Streets will evolve but it is always hard to see the outcomes as you go through periods of change. The HAZ scheme in Ryde is an example of trying to improve the High Street experience and offer, to make it more person friendly and to encourage safe dwelling in the retail areas. We are almost there with preventing vehicles from entering the High Street for most parts of every day and the traffic regulation orders are in place and implemented, we just need to resolve some small operational details for deliveries and collections and a physical barrier is being planned for that purpose. The walkway and cycle way work at the Esplanade is under way and due to be finished shortly. There will then be a pause in the wider works until the start of September to minimise disruption at the key visitor period over summer. Plans 10

progress for the temporary toilets on Western Gardens in preparation for the main works starting to the Highway in September and I have asked that the toilets are made as incongruous as possible by temporary planting around them with flowers and shrubs to mask, as best we can, the actual toilet facilities. It is, of course temporary, and the scheme must be finished by next summer when new toilets and café facilities will appear inside the newly refurbished station area. I am aware of suggestions that a café also be sited on Western Gardens and that will no doubt get public consultation as planning would be needed for such a venture. The Town Council continues to be proactive in Ryde and in May agreed a Memorandum of Understanding with Portsmouth University to assist working partnerships for the benefit of the communities involved. I was surprised to learn that well over one hundred residents of Ryde alone work at Portsmouth University so there is already a strong connection between the two organisations. Finally, this month, the roof works to St Thomas’s church are now complete and the building safe and secure from water ingress that would have only become worse is now completely watertight. I am pleased that Historic England were able to fund these works as a grant and we look forward to the continued final restoration and improvements in the building before the award-winning Ryde Youth Service takes up residence there.

News Report for Wootton Bridge from Cllr Daryll Pitcher Tel: 07511 045 145 | daryll@planetmail.net The application for gravel extraction at Palmers Farm is now in the determining phase. This means that the Planning Officer will study all the documents submitted along with all the comments made by members of the public and other bodies. He will then move towards a recommendation. Given the size and nature of the application I have requested that the final determination should be made by the Planning Committee and I will continue to push for this to happen. Going before the committee would mean that elected councilors would vote to decide the outcome having heard representations from both sides and having had the chance to visit the site and see for themselves the issues involved. I think that in the circumstances this is the best and most democratic option given the sometimes heated nature of the debate as placing the responsibility for the decision solely on the shoulders of one person would be too much to ask. I will keep you informed of the progress on this application although given the complexity I am not expecting a quick resolution. I have been continuing to hold meetings with interested parties regarding New Road. I cannot give away too many details regarding these discussions as nothing is yet decided for certain however progress is being made and things are looking up. The meetings held this year have unearthed a number of underlying issues held by individual parties that were not previously apparent to the others. By unearthing these more understanding has been achieved and competing interests are starting to work together to find resolutions. One thing that is very clear in my mind is that all the parties involved; the Isle of Wight Council,

Island Roads, Wootton Bridge Parish Council, affected businesses large and small and residents of both New Road and Woodside all want to see the road fixed. Knowing this makes me believe that the will to make the necessary compromises to find a workable plan is present. Along with Wootton Bridge Parish Council I am continuing to chase the Isle of Wight Council regarding the missing gate on the Rec. This issue is still very much a serious concern due to the safety aspect. I had the great pleasure of attending the Annual General Meeting of the Isle of Wight AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). They do great work in promoting and safeguarding the iconic landscape and wildlife of the island. Much of the focus is naturally on the southern coast and the chalk downs which are home to numerous rare and special species and habitats but their areas extends to the coastal parts of Wootton Bridge. It was interesting hearing about research into our red squirrels and how they are adapting to separation from the mainland. It was also interesting learning about the reddish buff moth which while dull looking is incredibly rare. The AONB are also responsible for the island’s UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and there are many interesting things going on here also. This June marks the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. I know many events are planned around the village during the celebration weekend and I hope to see many of you there. The Parish Council are also planning a few surprises but I cannot give too much away yet!
