SUN IN YOUR EYES… … CHILDREN NEED PROTECTION
For more information about the different types of sun lenses, the importance of proper eye-care protection or expert advice visit Red Bank Opticians KODAK Lens Vision Centre at 113 Redbank Road, Bispham or call 01253 350048 www.kodaklens.co.uk
A Blackpool optician is warning parents about dangers of UV rays on young and undeveloped eyes. Lisa Barrett from Red Bank Opticians Kodak Lens Vision Centre in Bispham is encouraging parents to think of their children this summer when buying sunglasses for themselves. “Everyone knows to protect their children’s skin from the sun, but it is really worrying that so few people are giving their children’s eyes the same protection. Given that children’s eyes are more sensitive and fragile, it is not surprising that they need even more protection against the harmful UV rays than adults.” (Lisa Barrett, Red Bank Opticians Kodak Lens Vision Centre)
Sun damage from UV rays contributes to a wide range of eye disorders from cataracts to cancer. Recent research has shown that by the age of 16 more than half a lifetime’s worth of damaging UV light has been absorbed by a child’s eye. Red Bank Opticians has an excellent range of sunglasses designed especially for children. KODAK lenses for Kidz are designed to suit children’s growing eyes and faces and are perfectly suited to children’s active lives as they are scratch and impact resistant, ideal for the rough and tumble. Red Bank Opticians KODAK Lens Vision Centre offers the following tips for choosing children’s sunglasses:
• Only buy sunglasses with CE marking which means they conform to European safety standards • Only choose sunglasses that block out UVA and UVB rays as other versions could actually damage your children’s eyes rather than protect them • Think about buying a strap to hold them in place • Encourage your children to wear their glasses by wearing yours • Explain the damage the sun can do to their eyes

Sir Peter Blake statues return to Promenade
Blackpool Council’s Great Promenade Show on South Promenade can now boast the return of two sculptures designed by legendary artist Sir Peter Blake.
The Council has been working with sculpture specialists AB Fine Art Foundry to re-install the ‘Life as a Circus’ piece of artwork on the Promenade across from the Pleasure Beach. The artwork consists of two sculptures, ‘Four Man Up’ and ‘Equestrian Act’. The two statues depict balancing acts as seen in a circus, of strongmen, horses and a mermaid, each reaching around 10ft in height. Blackpool Council has been working to recreate the statues after they were damaged in 2011, and remould them in a material that holds no value to metal thieves. Cllr Christine Wright, cabinet member for culture and heritage at Blackpool Council said: ‘We are delighted to bring Sir Peter’s works back to the Promenade where they can be appreciated as part of a wonderful stroll along the Great Promenade Show. Blackpool is very proud of its high quality public art works that everyone can enjoy, many being made by internationally recognised artists. The Great Promenade Art Show along with works such as our award winning ‘Comedy Carpet’ by Gordon Young, are part of the many unique cultural experiences Blackpool has to offer.’ Following the replacement of the statues, the Great Promenade Show now consists of 10 pieces of artwork along Blackpool Promenade, 24
including works such as the Mirrorball and Glam Rocks and now joined on the Tower Headland by the award winning Comedy Carpet outside the Blackpool Tower. The show is generally thought of as an outdoor art gallery reflecting Blackpool’s history and character, with the works commissioned from both established and emerging artists. The original bronze statues have also been restored and will return to a secure space within the town in the near future.
Sir Peter Blake
Sir Peter Blake is widely regarded as the father of pop art. He studied at Gravesend School of Art before being accepted into the prestigious Royal Academy of Art in London. His work extends across a diverse range of media including watercolour, drawings, prints, collage, painting, and sculpture. Sir Peter has designed many album covers including The Beatle’s ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ and Paul Weller’s ‘Stanley Road’ album. Sir Peter received his knighthood in 2002. Sir Peter Blake Picture by: Steve Vas / Featureflash

Blackpool News Cllr Kath Rowson and Cllr Amy Cross at the new Re-use store with cashier Leon Ibbotson
New re-use store launches
Blackpool Council’s flagship recycling shop has expanded to brand new premises Launched in April 2013, the original Re-use store at the tip on Bristol Avenue has been a roaring success, raising £10,000 for the Mayor’s charities last year. And due to its success, the shop, which fixes old items brought to the tip and sells them on for charity, has now moved into a much bigger unit. The new shop is located on the upper level of the tip, near the recycling skips, and will now be able to sell even more stock.
and now need something even bigger to sell from. The success of the Re-use store just shows what a big difference we can make to recycling across Blackpool. Our levels of recycling are moving in the right direction but we can still do more. Recycling week is a perfect opportunity for us to get out into the community and let people know what we are doing, and what the public can do to.’
As well as the regular items such as old golf clubs, books and games consoles, the new shop will now be able to sell electrical items which have been fixed and tested at the also newly opened Renew shop on Bristol Avenue.
Cllr Val Haynes, Mayor of Blackpool, added: ‘The Re-use store is a wonderful idea. Everybody who buys an item at the store will not only bag a bargain but they’ll also be donating money to this year’s Mayor’s charities, Donna’s Dream House and the Snowdrop Centre.’
Cllr Amy Cross, Blackpool Council’s cabinet member for Streetscene and the Environment opened the new Re-use shop with fellow Ingthorpe ward councillor Kath Rowson. She said: ‘The Re-use store is an excellent idea. Not only do we save lots of perfectly good items from going to landfill but we are allowing people from around the town to pick up cheaper second hand items that they can benefit from. The fact that it raises money for charity is an added bonus. Nobody could have guessed that the Re-use store would have been used so much. It’s been so popular that we’ve outgrown our first store
26
Last year, 39.6% of the rubbish that was thrown away in Blackpool was recycled, up 1.4% from the year before. That’s the equivalent of 25,000 tonnes of waste, roughly the weight of 6000 elephants and almost 10 Blackpool Towers. With new initiatives like the Re-Use store and Rover, a new mobile tip service, in place, officials believe that number may increase still further in 2014.

Full time jobs for success story leisure apprentices Three young, local leisure workers have secured full time jobs with Blackpool Council after completing successful apprenticeships. Rob Cousins, River Starkey and Rob Perch, all from Blackpool, have completed a year of dedicated on the job learning, training and work experience in a number of different fields from lifeguarding to activity leadership. They achieved certificates in leisure operations, exercise and fitness, circuit training instruction, activity leadership, instructing adolescents, employment awareness and function skills as well as a Level 2 NVQ in exercise and fitness and the National Pool Lifeguard Qualification. Another apprentice, Jack Harrison, has also successfully passed the qualification and also remains an employee with Blackpool Council. Cllr Graham Cain, Blackpool Council’s cabinet member for leisure and tourism, who met and gave a talk to the trio at the start of their apprenticeship, said he was extremely proud of their progress.

polished and extremely professional members of staff and you can see the difference. It’s a credit to them and a credit to the staff who have taken them under their wing. We always want to give opportunities to local young people wherever we can and this is a prime example.’ River Starkey, 18, from Blackpool, added: ‘The course has been great and we’ve learnt as we went along. The hardest thing for me was dealing with customers and speaking to people because I wasn’t very confident but I’ve got a lot better and the training has helped. I’ve enjoyed the college side of things a lot too.’ This year’s intake of leisure apprentices Josh Crowe, Jordan Cawley , Alexandra Mason, Jamie Coey and Jason Watson are following the successful footsteps of their predecessors’ and have already achieved the National Pool Lifeguard qualification.
