Answer A Call Of The Wild While Enjoying A Glorious Day Out A golden opportunity for families and individuals to enjoy a lovely day out around the Somerset Levels while also helping threatened and endangered wildlife is being offered by the acclaimed Secret World wild animal rescue centre. The East Huntspill based charity is appealing for a cavalcade of hundreds to take part in their Willows and Romans fundraising bike ride on Sunday April 15. The aim of the exercise is to make people, especially youngsters, more aware of wildlife and the joys of being out in the countryside while at the same time raising funds for Secret World’s £4.4 million wild animal hospital and education centre project. Charity founder Pauline Kidner said sadly it was a fact that children now spent half the time outdoors that they did 40 years ago and many could not even identify an oak tree.” Starting and finishing at Secret World, there will be an opportunity to see some of the sanctuary’s wildlife guests before setting out to explore beauty spots of the Somerset Levels on the Willows and Romans ride.The event is being organised by the Bridgwater Cycling Club and comprises a two hour circuit mainly on the flat for families and other cyclists or a four to five hour circuit for those who want to go a bit further. Pauline revealed that Secret World would receive around 5,000 injured or orphaned 4
animals and birds over the coming year, yet when wildlife needed people’s support most, the nation was increasingly losing touch with nature, “The launching of our new Call of the Wild hospital and education centre project is a positive move to redress the balance and we are appealing for everyone in the region to give us their support so that we can open on schedule in 2013,” she said. For further information or to sign up for the Willows and Romans Bike Ride, email save@ secretworld.org or visit www.secretworld.org and click on the Call of the Wild link. It costs £135 to rescue an animal or bird and £15 to inspire another child so all funds raised will help to keep Secret World going and boost the hospital and education centre project.

Back Pain: Prolapsed vertebral discs Bouts of back pain are very common, less than 1 in 20 cases of sudden onset back pain are due to a prolapsed disc. Most cases are caused by a minor problem to a muscle, ligament, or other structure in the back. A prolapsed disc often causes severe pain. The disc can press on a nerve root, which also causes pain and other symptoms in a leg or arm. Heavy lifting or bending in an awkward position may trigger this; obesity and increasing age are other influencing factors. The symptoms may persist for several weeks, before gradually improving. The usual advice is to do normal activities where possible and visit a suitable health professional. Painkillers may provide relief and physical treatments from an osteopath may also speed recovery. Surgery can be an option if the symptoms persist. At the Somerset Health Practice our approach is to combine healthcare techniques from a range of disciplines including acupuncture, herbal medicine, osteopathy, exercise and lifestyle advice, which will vary with individual patient needs. We specialise in the care of musculo-skeletal problems for women, men and children of any age, pain relief, physical rehabilitation and the restoration of function.

Has your marriage broken up? by Judith Rouse
Don't know who to talk to? Try Mediation. Come for a free initial consultation. Judith Rouse has a Family Mediation service in mid-Somerset, helping people find a way forward out of family breakdown. Judith is a trained mediator and has also been a solicitor for 20 years. Now she is part of the thriving Acorn Solicitors www. acornsolicitors.com - 'where your family matters'. They have offices in Street High Street and Taunton High Street. Judith said: "It hardly needs to be said that the breakdown of a marriage is a difficult time. You need to work out fair arrangements. There are 3 main areas to consider. CHILDREN: The most important area is the children – who they live with and
making sensible contact arrangements. FINANCE: The average family has to work out how to manage in two different households but on the same income as well as a fair split in the matrimonial assets and debts. DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS: Who starts them? Who pays for them? When do they start? "It might seem impossible to talk with each other. That’s where your mediator can help. Together you discuss and work out fair arrangements with your mediator who is trained to assist to keep the discussions balanced and useful." Let Judith and Acorn help.

DIY Made Easier - Planning Permission & Building Control – By Mike Free Planning permission is the Council saying you are allowed to build any structure or carry out alterations - Building Control is the Council saying you are building it correctly bearing in mind safety and environment. Planning Permission - Most extensions or alterations to the outside of your house will require planning permission from the local council.. There are exceptions called "permitted developments" which include extensions to the rear or side of the property of a certain maximum size. These rules on sizes are complex and you need to consult an expert before going ahead. To obtain permission, a fee is paid to the council and plans are submitted - decisions can take 8 weeks (at least!) and you want to get the support of you neighbours and your Parish Council if possible. Building Control - Most structures, or alterations to structures will require the Council to see that you are doing it safely. and there are two methods :Full Plans Application - Plans are submitted showing every detail of the construction including types of materials, insulation, safety, etc. Again, it can take 8 weeks for these to be accepted and a fee is payable. Do you therefore wait until Planning Permission has been granted (you are now looking at 4 months!) or submit them at the same time and
risk losing your money if the Permission is refused? Commercial buildings have to use this method. Building Notice - The Council is notified at different stages of the construction (drainage, foundations, etc.) and an inspector visits the site in a matter of days to look at the work and give advice on the next stage. In both case, a fee is payable, but no time is wasted and you can work with the Inspector to ensure you are doing it correctly. Porches - Porches are one of the best ways to keep the heat in your Home when you go to the front door! They require no permissions when they are less than 3 square metres in area and usually no building control . please contact us for details of our made to order, prefabricated porches or for help with planning your extension or dealing with the Council.

Musings from My Garden
Street & Glastonbury
By Martin Mudie Every summer the Lovely Muriel loves to have a riot in the garden. Now before you start getting excited what she enjoys is the riot of colour available through bedding plants. All the books say that bedding should not be planted out before the end of May to avoid frosts, but there is a way of cheating by planting up containers in April. For down here in sunny Somerset we rarely get a frost now and if you did you can always protect with fleece or bring the pot under cover. For the early bird you can get lots of lovely plants now or even those little baby plants most garden centres sell. As to choice it really is up to you. Preparation: The main thing with pots is to treat them as a cocktail. Take any ordinary potting compost – add water retaining gel pellets and finish up with the slow release feeding pellets. Quantities will be on the packs. Or if you like it easy you can buy compost with all three in. Pots: I have used anything and everything. My favourite was an old pink loo my neighbours were disposing – complete with reservoir – sadly the Lovely Muriel felt it lowered the tone – something I’ve never bothered about – and I had to throw it away. Purchasing: I have found that two nurseries excel in bedding: • Sweet Acre Nurseries on the Godney Road • James Lovell (1st right after the High Street in Butleigh) - Outstanding for geraniums! Topical Tip: Start weeding now. If you get a dutch hoe you can do it with minimal effort. Happy Gardening
Street Parish Council The next councillors surgery will be from 11 am to 12 noon in Parish Rooms on Saturday 7th April.
Free Family Play Day A free family Play Day is being planned at the Children’s Centre / Brookside School on Wednesday 11th April. The organisers hope to attract as many local families with young children as possible so they have a lovely day out and also discover what the Children’s Centre can offer them. 12

Both of the above talks will take place at The Friends Meeting House, High Street, Street.

Ashcott Primary School pupils celebrate Book Week
The children at Ashcott Primary School marked Book Week with a wide range of activities related to the enjoyment of reading. Children were visited by “Arabella Storyteller and Fannysarah Storysharer” at the start of the week and each class were involved in making stories come to life through role-play and storytelling. Later on, the children created monster puppets and used them for storytelling too.
The library was transformed overnight when the ‘monster story cave’ appeared full of books about monsters – the children loved sitting in the cave and sharing books by torchlight! On the Wednesday evening there was a ‘candlelit bedtime story evening’ in the school hall which was very well attended by parents and children. Everyone came in their pyjamas and brought duvets, sleeping bags and pillows with them for an exciting evening of bedtime stories read by the teachers, parents and pupils - hot chocolate and biscuits were served by the staff too! The excitement continued on the Thursday, which was World Book Day, and everyone came dressed as monsters for the day, including the staff!

The Book Swap was organised by the ‘Reading Champions’ and ‘Reading Angels’ – groups of children at the school who have made it their aim to promote the enjoyment of reading to younger children in the school. “It is fantastic to see the impact on the levels of enthusiasm for reading in our younger children as a direct result of these pro-active young people!” said Richard Briar, Headteacher. All the children were encouraged to bring in books from home which they had read and in exchange they were able to select books to take home with them. The event was well supported by parents and children with nearly 200 books being swapped on the day!

From Brahms to the Brandenburg Gate A group of A Level Music and German Language students from Strode College recently discovered why Berlin is such a great city to visit for learning and leisure. The fifteen students and their Strode tutors made the most of their few days in this vibrant German capital, taking in some fascinating sights, sounds, cultural and historical highlights. As they toured the city the students got a great sense of history, but they also discovered the thriving modern day capital. They took in the remnants of the Berlin Wall, the Story of Berlin Museum, the Holocaust Memorial and the Brandenburg Gate, where they saw the two still quite different 'halves' of the city the former East and West Berlin. Strode’s German language students enjoyed a talk in the
German parliament; found out about the city's history in the days when it was divided by going to the 'Haus am Checkpoint Charlie'; and they visited a specialist art and technology college, where they were shown round by German students and found out about 16-18 education in Germany. The music students enjoyed four wonderful concerts during their visit: the Erlenbusch Quartet, which featured a highly expressive programme by Wolfe and Brahms; a modernistic production of the opera Eugen Onegin by Tchaikovsky; an outstanding and stirring rendition of Bruckner’s Symphony No 9 from the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Simon Rattle; and the glorious Prokoviev ballet Romeo and Juliet, which the language students also enjoyed.
The music students also visited the “amazing” Philharmonic Hall Music Museum, which has instruments illustrating the development of western tonal music from the harpsichord through to interactive synthesisers. Marian Jones, Strode’s A Level German Tutor said: “The trip was a valuable opportunity for our A Level German language students to try out their language skills, to find out about German culture and history, and to see what city life has to offer. The whole visit helped to put their learning of German in a real context. Also, for some of our students, Berlin was a first taste of city life and a chance to see how different life can be, even in another part of Europe; a real and enjoyable learning experience for our students on many levels.”

Hope Weighing in at just 100grms with her umbilical cord still attached, Hope is among the tiniest baby badger cubs ever to arrive at the Secret World Wildlife Rescue Centre in Somerset. And her timing could not have been more impeccable coming only days after famous Discworld author Sir Terry Pratchet launched a £4.4 million Call of the Wild Appeal for a new Wildlife Animal Hospital at the sanctuary. Now Hope, who was found with a fully grown injured female badger sheltering in a garden summerhouse in Crewkerne is being fed through a syringe every two hours around the clock. But a big surprise was in store for Secret World staff who recovered the pair because a vet quickly established that they were definitely not mother and daughter! Secret World founder Pauline Kidner said it could only be surmised that Hope’s mum gave birth in a nearby set and took her off spring into the summerhouse but then abandoned it leaving her tiniest daughter behind. “We can only assume that her cries were
16
heard by another female who had been chased out of the set and attracted to the summerhouse in search of food,” she said. “The female who had some minor injuries has been treated and will be returned to the wild shortly but Hope will be staying with us until she had been fully reared and taught how to fend for herself,” said Pauline. Besides the caring Secret World staff, this amazing story has an unsung hero because if nine-year-old Isabel James had not left her parents’ summerhouse door open, the badgers would never have found a refuge. And it was mum Kaye who raised the alarm when she went to the summerhouse to collect the feed for her chickens. “The seed was scattered all over the place and there sticking out from behind our sofa was a long grey tail,” she said.

Singing is good for you Every Wednesday afternoon a group of older people join together at the Crispin Centre in Street for a good ol’ sing-song. The Golden-Oldies Charity run this singing session with Gina Cleverley as the session leader. Each week older people from the local community join together singing the hits of the 50s, 60s and 70s – including songs from Cliff Richard, Dusty Springfield, Tom Jones and Elvis. There are no auditions, it’s just for people who love to sing and everyone is welcome. The charity was started by Bath-based choir leader Grenville Jones with four sessions in 2008. It now runs them all across the west of England. Sir Cliff Richard is the Patron. An independent study by academics at the University of Bath concluded that “participation
in the Golden-Oldies enhances a participants health and well-being, strengthens and stimulates communities.” Goldies, as it has become fondly known, brings people together for a fun session of singing, stretching, laughter and friendship – there’s even some dancing! Betty Barrett never misses her Monday morning session in Bath. Aged 86 she says “I love going to Goldies. I’d be stuck at home if I didn’t go. You can’t keep me away!” To join the Goldies session, just come along at 2pm each Wednesday afternoon to the Crispin Centre, Street for a warm welcome and lots of fun. To find out more about the sessions call Abby Rakes at Golden-Oldies on 01761 470006 or visit www.golden-oldies.org.uk
