The Feedback Forms from our January issue have been coming in thick and fast. I’m yet to go through them all with a fine toothcomb but I’m pleased with the general feeling – people enjoy the Local Beacon. We had new features planned for 2014, but now we can add a few more additions to this list. Over the coming months please do keep an eye out to see if your idea has been implemented within this publication. Winners to be announced in March issue.

News our end is we have a new lady joining the team. She’s local. She’s bubbly. She (like me) enjoys to talk. I know for certain our advertisers will love her and she’ll fit well within our team. Welcome aboard Lynda!

As explained in previous months, we are now VAT registered. Businesses were pleased to hear that we have absorbed this extra charge into our rates.

However, if you are VAT registered – you’re quids in! We will be monitoring this over a 6 month period.

News from Roger Williams MP In January the House of Commons debated the Water Bill. This Bill aims to boost competition in the water sector by encouraging more companies to provide water and sewerage services, and increase choice in the market, by allowing business, charity and public sector customers to switch their water

affordable and widely available flood insurance in the UK. Therefore, the Bill will also create a new flood insurance scheme for domestic properties, an issue of great concern, as we have witnessed in the past weeks.

This not-for-profit scheme, under the name “Flood Re”, would ensure flood insurance remains widely affordable and available. It will include powers to set up a levy on all household insurance, so that insurance companies can offer insurance to people whose property is liable to flooding at an affordable price. It includes all houses except those in council tax bands H and I, and houses that have been built after 2009, in order to avoid incentivising unwise building in flood risk areas.

“ The Coalition Government recognises that flood insurance is vitally important” and sewerage supplier.This will not affect customers of Welsh Water but those businesses who receive water from Severn Trent who will be able to choose their supplier. Furthermore, the Coalition Government recognises that flood insurance is vitally important in helping to protect vulnerable households from the effects of heavy rainfall and that a new approach is needed to provide

I spoke on behalf of the Liberal Democrats to support this scheme. I have strongly supported this scheme through Committee Stage and asked the Government to extend it to small businesses in the Report Stage.

Discussing the Pope On Thursday 6th February, Alan Marr, engineer and historian, will make a presentation to The Brecon Political and Theological Discussion Group on ‘Pope Francis in His Historical Context’. The talk will be followed by discussion and will take place on Thursday 6th February from 7.30 pm at the Three Horseshoes in Llanfaes.

‘Pope Francis’ is the most cited name on the Englishlanguage internet in recent months and, after ‘Obamacare’ and ‘Edward Snowden’, his twitter handle ‘@Pontifex’ is placed fourth. Even nonbelievers have been moved by his message, decrying runaway materialism and unbridled capitalism, arriving for meetings with heads of state in a Ford Focus, cradling the faces of the disfigured and declaring that each human being has his worth.

Discussion Group convenor Mike Douse observed that this is a highly topical issue but noted that, although several members of the Catholic clergy had expressed interest, none had agreed to lead the discussion. “To me this is rather surprising as the new Pope seems to have reinvigorated the church and numbers attending mass have in some parts of the world increased significantly”.

The Brecon Political and Theological Discussion Group is open to all who are seriously interested in the world they are living in, whatever their own political or religious views. Mike emphasised that “everyone is warmly invited to the discussion – you do not have to be a member”.

“Family disputes that are resolved through mediation are cheaper, quicker and, according to academic research, less acrimonious than those that are settled through the courts.” National Audit Office At a time when family finances are often under pressure and have to be divided, mediation is far cheaper and less time consuming than going through the court system.

Brecon actor receives award

Glanusk services Sennybridge

A new annual bursary called the Sarah Siddons Award has been created by Brecon Decorative and Fine Arts Society (BADFS) in association with The Royal College of Music and Drama. The first recipient was Rhys Whomsley who began his degree course with the College last September.

Rhys, a first language Welsh speaker, was educated at Brecon High School where he was head boy. He has been involved in music, drama and dance from an early age and has spent three years with the Mark Jermin Stage School in Cardiff. Being passionate about all aspects of stage work, he has already performed with professional companies and worked with the BBC, ITV and S4C. On receiving the award Rhys commented “My home town of Brecon has provided me with many opportunities for me to express my passion for performance. Whenever I have performed on the Theatr Brycheiniog stage, there has always been such an very special warmth attached to it.There is such a supportive community in Brecon and I am very proud of my Breconshire roots” The award, named the Sarah Siddons Award in honour of the acclaimed Georgian actress who was born in Brecon, was presented to Rhys by Alison McMillen, the President of BADFAS at the society’s December meeting at Theatr Brycheiniog.

It is to be an annual award to a student from Breconshire studying at the Royal Welsh College. There is also a second Sarah Siddons Award which will be given to the best classical actress of the year. Students will be selected for these awards by the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.

Cariad’s Column Happy New Year everyone!

I celebrated in style at Cantref ’s New Year’s Party.

I got to stroke some animals. I went in a ball pool and down some slides. I went on a tractor. There were lots of animals for us to see. Last of all we had some party games and I got to meet Mr Ev’s!

In January my mummy took me to buy some new shoes. The shop had the same name as me! Wow. I love my new shoes, they are good for dancing.

After shopping we went to The Play Barn for a party.

George my cousin is now a whole 2 years old. When I’m 2 I want to go there again – there’s lots of slides, ball pools and if you fall over it doesn’t hurt.

Did you know I have 2 kittens? Daddy says they are naughty but I fink they are funny. I really like animals I do.

This Is me and my mummy meeting Mr Ev’s

Dementia friendly The Friends of Brecon and District Mind look at Brecon’s attitude to dementia in the last of their talks this winter. Jean Howell and Kate West, both from the Alzheimer’s Society, will be at the George Hotel at 7.00pm on the 13 February to talk about their work. Jean will explain how Brecon is becoming a Dementia Friendly Community, where this may lead and what it means for people with dementia. Kate will discuss the local Alzheimer Befriending Service – what it does and how it is done.

As a dementia support worker Jean’s role is to support people with dementia and their carers.  She helps them maintain their independence, identifies their needs and helps them to access the services they need.

Kate’s role is to find volunteer befrienders, train and support them in their befriending role and match them to people with dementia who are in need of friendship and support. All are welcome. £5, Friends £2.

Child Trust Funds can finally be transferred from April 2015 The news is a huge victory for those who campaigned on behalf of the 6m kids stuck in CTFs.

INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVICE

“Your local source of unbiased advice explained in Plain English” f SAVINgS & INVESTmENTS

Under current legislation these accounts were available to all children born between September 2002 and January 2011. Since then CTFs have been superseded by Junior ISAs. This had led to the banks and building societies only competing on interest rates and terms for Junior ISAs.

f RETIREmENT PLANNINg f moRTgAgES f INhERITANCE TAx mITIgATIoN f FAmILy PRoTECTIoN Contact: t: 01874 611911 e: enquiries@beaconifa.co.uk w: beaconifa.co.uk

Because CTFs are the poorer relation, millions of kids risked having their money locked into an effective financial prison, with no escape from poor returns until age 18.

Directly authorised by the Financial Services Authority

Fortunately from April 2015 parents will now have the choice of transferring their child’s CTF to a Junior ISA, or to stay put within the CTF system.

Both accounts allow up to £3,720 (rising to £3,840 from April 2014) to be saved tax-free.

CTFs were set up with Government vouchers of between £50 and £250. Unfortunately parents are not given any incentives to fund Junior ISAs. Junior ISAs and CTFs are not always favoured by parents who are looking to save on behalf of their children.The inflexibility of the child having complete control of a savings account at age 18 is an unnerving prospect for some guardians.

One option for parents who want more control over their children’s savings is to use any remainder of their own personal ISA allowance.

This is still tax-efficient but allows the funds to be released as and when desired.

Either way, it seems as if no child will have to be a CTF prisoner in the future.

Creativity, talents & achievements of inspirational women in Brecon ‘International Women’s Day’ has been observed since the early 1900’s and is today marked with thousands of events the world over and is even deemed a national holiday in countries like Afghanistan, Belarus, Cuba, Eritrea, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Vietnam and Zambia.

“ Brecon Women’s Festival started in 2012 to mark the global occasion locally” ‘Brecon Women’s Festival’ was started in 2012 to mark the global occasion locally by staging a week of events taking place on and around International Women’s Day with the aim of celebrating the creativity, talents and achievements of inspirational women in and around Brecon during the past and

the present. This year sees the Festival enter its third year – no mean feat considering the Festival is purely self-funded and voluntary with all the organisation, staging and marketing of the events being undertaken by a small group of women from the town – Hilda Benham, Paula Keen, Leigh Hendra, Karin Mear, Nicola Bickerton and Sian Drinan.

This year’s festival officially launches on Friday March 7th at Theatr Brycheiniog with the launch of this year’s Womens Festival Art Exhibition ‘Mother Earth’ curated by Karin and Hilda heralding a week of eclectic events with something for everyone – Live Music, Storytelling, Talks, Theatre, and Poetry.

Stay updated by following the ‘Brecon Women’s Festival’ feed on Twitter and Facebook and go to www.breconwomensfestival.co.uk where the full programme will soon be available. Brochures will be available from shops and venues soon!

Trallong Eisteddfod 2013 – Two sisters have the most potential At Trallong Eisteddfod, which was held late in 2013 in Sennybridge Primary School, two sisters from Llanspyddid each won trophies in their respective age groups for competitors who, in the opinion of the music adjudicator and the literature adjudicator have the most potential. Glesni Powell won the trophy given

by Mrs. Mary Price, Maesydd in the local section and elder sister Martha won the minitiature chair made and given by Mr. Alec Tompkins in the open section.

Whilst the numbers of competitors in the children’s classes was a little disappointing, the standard was very high.The evening session was again outstanding with a number of new competitors, whose renderings were enjoyed enormously by the audience.The highlight of the evening was the Champion Solo competition which attracted six excellent soloists – any one of whom was good enough to win the competition.

Choirs representing Brecknock YFC competed against Aberhonddu Male Choir, we are very grateful to both choirs for their continued support.

Make the Most of Winter Light The lucky people who live in the Wye Local and Local Beacon areas are enveloped by some of the UK’s best scenery. Our appreciation of the landscape is increased if we can capture it in an effective photo – and the good news is that winter’s the best time to do it.

The word photography originates from the Greek words photos, meaning light, and graphos, to draw.

The first part’s crucial – put simply, to get a great photo you need great light. Although winter brings many dull days with very little light at all, when it’s good it can be very good indeed. The low, cold light throws long shadows which emphasise texture and perspective, separating our hills, and the leafless trees let through plenty of light instead of blocking it.

shown on your camera, and try not to let it fall too low. If it does, use a tripod or steady the camera on a wall or gate. And a photo-editing program will keep you warm on cold nights…

Article supplied by Rod Bird, Electric Landscape Photography.

Don’t forget to enter our Annual Photography Competition – please see the inside front cover for more details. Closing date is 30th March 2014.

Good luck from the Local Beacon Team.

Resist the temptation to buy new gear specially. Use a camera you know well. Always look round the viewfinder before clicking the shutter, seeing what the camera will see and eliminating anything which doesn’t help the photo.

The most common reason why photos fail is camera shake. So get to know where the shutter speed is

Wild in February

Protecting wildlife for the future

Shrews pack a hectic lifetime into less than two years. Their tiny hearts beat 1200 times per minute.

The smallest of our three species just six centimetres long, the Pygmy Shrew eats more than its own body weight every day. Like the slightly larger Common Shrew it must consume worms, insects, spiders and snails day and night with short naps between fast foraging. Water Shrews, bigger and darker, live by clean streams and ponds and their diet includes small fish and amphibians.

During spring and summer a female Common Shrew may produce five litters of five to seven pups.

Owls, Kestrels, Foxes and Weasels take many. Cats catch shrews but do not usually eat them. A dead shrew brought in by a cat is probably how most people see one.

Brecknock Wildlife Trust, with funding from The Cooperative, seeks your help to learn more about shrews and other mammals. Please let the Trust know what you see, where and when. There is a survey sheet with pictures at www.brecknockwildlifetrust.

org.uk, and details in the Events Diary of free Mammal Discovery Days during February half-term.

Thanks to Phil Morgan for this photo and Selwyn Richards for January’s fox.

Learning from the Past to Preserve our Future We are very fortunate to live in an area of the country which is literally saturated with great examples of built heritage whether it is a humble cottage, a medieval hall, an estate house or even a castle. However we are in danger of losing this asset as older craftspeople retire from the construction industry taking with them years of acquired expertise.

In the past, houses often were built, not with the involvement of an architect, but to a design determined by the materials available locally, and the work was carried out by craftsmen and women using techniques evolved over centuries. Original timber frame structures in these properties show evidence of being hewn using hand tools and you

often see carpenters marks that have been etched into the wood hundreds of years before. The walls were built using only material dug up from the ground in the immediate vicinity; the stone would have been sourced and the mortars mixed by hand.

These properties represent the skill and knowledge of our ancestors who built them and within their walls hold a very local history of those who constructed them and the environment in which they lived. Unfortunately the modern construction industry does not equip its tradesmen and women XS YRHIVWXERH XLI WTIGM½G VIUYMVIQIRXW SJ TVI buildings. We need to train our young craftspeople and pay respect to those who are already skilled through accredited courses and inspiring teaching.

In achieving this goal, we will serve to protect the buildings that we take for granted, so that they can be enjoyed by future generations.

Brecon Poets: Patricia Evans Each issue of your Local Beacon will from now onwards include a short piece by a local poet. This month’s poem is by Patricia Evans who is a hill-walker, writer and teacher (“in that order”). The Bridget in the title is the Celtic saint of February and, in that tradition, the flowers and blossoms associated with this month are known as ‘Bridget’s weeds.’

BRIDGET’S WEEDS Cousin Mildred is mad, so they say.

She came all in red to the funeral today, assuming we’d all be in black.

“It would make for a change,” she said.

“It would cheer us all up and Tom wouldn’t mind, being dead.”

Cousin Mildred is mad, so they say.

She’d made her own wreath from Bridget’s Weeds that carry the promise of lighter days, but the mourners were not at all pleased.

Yet she’d given them plenty to say, ‘till the chief mourner, mourning his dad, shut them all up with the startling cry, “Cousin Mildred, you’re mad, as they say, so take me with you from the sane: from the doctor’s pills from the black from the pall from buffets on sticks from deepest sympathy from life goes on from the tolling bell from those who tell me I’m free when I’m lonely as hell.

Cousin Mildred, you’re mad, as they say.

So take me away from the sane.”

Contributions from local poets are invited.

These should be no more than 24 lines in length and accompanied by two or three succinct sentences about the poet. They should please be emailed to breconpoets@yahoo.com and not directly to the Local Beacon.

News from local W I s TRALLONG & PENPONT W I Trallong and Penpont W.I. elected a new President at their recent Annual meeting. Mrs Ruth Jefferies will now lead us for the coming year – in her speech of acceptance of the President’s role she thanked Lynda Matthews for her hard work and leadership over the past two years, and also paid tribute to the other members for their work and friendship.

At a subsequent committee meeting the rest of the officers were chosen – Secretary Joy Bloss and Treasurer Heather Thomas were persuaded to remain in post for a further year.

Christine Evans and Julie Coade have been hard at work over the Christmas period compiling the programme for the coming year. We have a number of good speakers and demonstrations to look forward to. These include Farm Watch and Countryside Policing; slides on Tasmania, skin care, local history, gardening, putting and driving at a local golf course to mention a few.

The 2014 programme started last Wednesday when members and husbands enjoyed an excellent meal at the Usk & Railway Hotel in Sennybridge. This was a very happy occasion with members catching up after the Christmas holidays.

We would welcome new members of any age – meetings are held in Trallong Church Hall on the first Wednesday of the month at 7 p.m. Just turn up – you will be welcomed with open arms.

Llangasty W I On the first Wednesday of December members of Llangasty W I gathered at the Retreat House, Llangasty for their Christmas lunch. The Retreat House is in a wonderful location by the side of Llangorse Lake. Members enjoyed the superb meal as well as the spectacular views from the dining room looking out across the Lake to the mountains.

The winners of the monthly competitions were announced: 1st Doreen Dingwall, 2nd Ann Horning, 3rd Judith Pritchard. Doreen Dingwall entertained the members by reading one of her short stories and a poem.

Instead of giving gifts to each other, donations were made to Usk House.
