Sports Vision and Sunspectacles By Adrian Springett Vision performs a fundamental role in sport and leisure activities. If our vision is not completely corrected with driving, cycling, running , skiing and many other sporting or leisure activities, our visual and physical performance may be compromised. Outside of a competitive environment it is still vital to have good vision and eye protection so the activities undertaken can be enjoyed safely. Vision is of critical importance in outdoor environments. Here, there may be extreme light conditions and a lot of glare. This will reduce clarity and comfort of vision. Therefore, selecting the best performing solar lenses will have an impact on the eyes and therefore the outcome of the sport or leisure activity. The sunglasses most suited to extreme conditions and sport activities are wrap around or highly curved frames. These frames are more ergonomic, adjust better to the human face and provide more comfort to the wearer. They give protection from side and back light and give physical protection from windy and dusty climates. Unfortunately, if standard lenses are glazed
into a wrap frame, the optical properties of the lenses are compromised. Bending a standard lens to fit a highly curved frame produces peripheral blur and loss of clarity. This will result in the narrowing of the wearer’s useful visual field. This can happen even with Plano lenses in wrap around frames. SHAMIR are a lens company who have designed special lenses called “Attitude” which aim to compensate for the wrap of a sports frame. They are available in both single vision and varifocal formats. Special “Eye point technology” and digital lens surfacing techniques means that lenses can be tailor made for the client, their prescription and the frame chosen. These lenses therefore provide clearer vision with wider fields of view, ideal for sporting activities and wrap frames. Shamir have now combined with SUNWISE to produce a range of fashionable prescription sports sun spectacles. SUNWISE prescription spectacles have just been launched in the market place and are available from selective optical practices throughout the country.

Musings from my Garden By Martin Mudie Today I want to write about pot culture – no not that sort of pot – shame on you! – I mean growing plants in containers. This has become very popular of late, judging by all the wonderful shapes and sizes available. However, for me it took a trip to New England a few years ago which I made with the Lovely Muriel to open my eyes to its full potential. You see they have such hard winters there that mostly all you can get are trees, hardy shrubs and annuals and it took a visit to a lovely GC high in the Aderondacks to understand. It
Walton W.I. Walton W.I. has had a very busy year so far with regular table tennis, croquet, whist, singing, Scrabble, craft, 'ladies who lunch'
was a lovely autumn day and all you could see in pots were Chrysanthemums in all their golden hues. Now this set me thinking. Up until then I had just used my pots in the summer. Now if you divide the year into the four seasons, it is now possible to have colour from flower and foliage all year round. So when the display is getting tired just pop over to the garden centre and indulge yourself, both in the café and the plant area. The autumn – spring is even easier as to care for as they rarely need water and never feeding. Just think of the back ache you save! Now we are coming up to autumn here are a few ideas apart from ‘mums’
Dahlias – Helianthus – Rudbeckias – Salvias – the choice is yours. Virtually anything in flower now will last till the frosts and come November you can start all over again. If you are frugal you can then plant the perennials in the garden for next year.
and walking groups as well as theatre and outdoor trips There are also pre-arranged tennis and swimming sessions available for fitter members. On Thursday 13th September Aileen Hase will be speaking
to the group about 'Chinese Cookery' and, hopefully, giving out some tasty samples. The competition will be a 'Chinese Object'. New members and visitors are very welcome to join at 7.30pm in Walton Village Hall.
Topical Tips Keep up with the dead –heading it will keep your plant flowering longer and will look tidier. Many choose to buy bulbs now but if you wait to December they are often reduced. Plant them then and they will flower just a little later. Happy Gardening

For peace of mind, see a solicitor writes David Sinclair.
Politicians, bankers and journalists have all taken a knock in recent times. A survey commissioned by the Bar Standards Board showed solicitors to be the most trusted professionals with 17 per cent saying they trusted them. As you'd expect, politicians and estate agents were the least trusted, with bankers only slightly higher. When it comes to writing your Will, you need the trusted skill of a legal expert. A Will is an extremely important document and you can't take a gamble by using amateur Will writers or by doing it yourself. Solicitors like myself are highly trained, insured and regulated by the solicitor governing body. But Will writers are untrained, noninsured and totally unregulated.
Acorn Solicitors can help you get your Will written with legal expertise and regulation, bringing you peace of mind. We are a local, friendly, family firm based in Street and Taunton, and specialising in Wills, Probate and Property Law. As we are on the High Street, we are easy to pop in to see and talk to our friendly legal experts. You can also find us on Facebook and Twitter. For more information visit our website www.acornsolicitors.com or call 01823 273010. David Sinclair runs Acorn Solicitors with his mother Jill. David is also a UK Director for Solicitors for the Elderly which has nearly 1300 members and which exists to help ensure that elderly people have access to top class professional legal advice.

Local girl bounces her way to success A rising trampoline star from Charlton Mackrell in Somerset is celebrating after achieving a great result in the national trampoline competition in Birmingham recently. After qualifying to get to the finals, Charlotte Male competed with 17 of the best under 19s ladies in the country. She achieved an excellent sixth place by performing a complex routine which included six double somersaults. Charlotte is no stranger to success as she was also a member of the South West Colleges team that won the British Colleges Sport competition in April this year. Jenny Stevens, Griffin and Strode Academy Trampoline Coach said: “Charlotte performed 10
superbly at the nationals. She competed with her toughest routines to date and achieved an amazing result; we are very proud of her. She has undoubtedly benefitted from the extra training she has managed to fit in this year by being part of Strode’s trampoline academy.”

Scrapstore Saved A last minute solution has been found to prevent a local Scrapstore service from folding. LocalReach previously reported that following the end of local authority funding, GEMS Scrapstore and Play Resource Centre based in Wells would be closing down in mid August. Prior to the announcement, Scrapstore Manager Laura Kavanagh had been in discussion with the Revd. Diana Greenfield to explore whether the Scrapstore could be set up and run as a new charity venture based at the Red Brick Building in Glastonbury. However, with little time to spare on waiting for an outcome, the
decision to close the Scrapstore had to be made. But following renewed talks and negotiation, an agreement has been reached to move the Scrapstore operations to Glastonbury, with new independent charity being established by the Revd Greenfield to run the Scrapstore and help raise funds for the Red Brick Building. Manager Laura Kavanagh said: ‘This news is absolutely brilliant and I am thrilled to see the service transfer to be based at the Red Brick Building. It is a fantastic location with the café and plenty of parking. The Revd Greenfield and her team are in a great position to make a real success of running a Scrapstore. Having to initiate the closing down procedure was pretty heart breaking, not

least because of the potential this service has to thrive, with the right team and structure. Those who will be involved in running the new Scrapstore will be in a really strong position to take the work forward and I am delighted that it will continue; it is the most fantastic outcome for the community. ‘ It is expected that the new Scrapstore will open in the New Year when works to the building have been completed. ‘The Red Brick Building is going to become a great focal point for art based activities, education and community projects’ said Laura ‘and a Scrapstore based there will be key to so much of that work. It is destined to flourish’. For more details keep an eye on the website: www. gemsscrapstore.org.uk

Somerset Rural Youth Project shortlisted for prestigious nattional youth participation award Local youth charity, Somerset Rural Youth Project, has been shortlisted for a national award by the National Council for Voluntary Youth Services (NCVYS) for its excellent work in youth participation. The NCVYS Young Partners Award is supported and funded by BIG Lottery and the award celebrates and recognises youth leadership and what young people can achieve through working in equal partnership with adults in organisations and projects.
Somerset Rural Youth Project, based in Edington near Bridgwater, works with young people in rural areas, enabling them to access opportunities such as training, accreditation, learning and means of transport through its popular Moped Loan Scheme. The awards, planned and organised by members of NCVYS’s national youth forum, ENVOY, are divided into four award categories, which are the Midlands, North, South and national category. Each currently
have three shortlisted nominees. Steve Baker, youth worker for Somerset Rural Youth Project, said: “It’s great that we have been recognised for our hard work in involving young people in running our organisation.

Getting your weight down under the tonne - By Nick Cater, Senior Communications Officer, Somerset Waste Partnership One of the biggest challenges for those living in Walton, Ashcott, Street and Glastonbury is to drive down the levels of waste they produce. With landfill costing Somerset council tax payers around £10 million a year, reducing waste would save materials and money, and cut our impact on climate from greenhouse gases. So it is great news that there has been a 4% fall in the annual average amount of Somerset’s “household waste arisings”, to below a tonne for the first time since probably the 1980s. A factor is likely to be the recession, encouraging new thrifty habits that could mean we buy less, and sell or pass on items rather than throw them away. Of course, an average 990kgs arisings per household means that some people are below that figure and plenty of others have more to do to lose weight. If this is you, is it time to declare yourself a WasteWatcher? It is important to maintain and improve our good habits, find new ways to make our refuse bins ever lighter, and reduce our need to recycle. On a practical level, that would mean taking care to only buy what you need such as food, avoiding disposable goods, such as carrier bags, razors, paper plates or tissues, and investing in products that last
18
and retain their value for reuse. For waste prevention options, a good example is moving home, which can include passing on furniture you no longer need for reuse, buying second-hand items, investing in durable appliances, stopping and forwarding post. Practical action will be under discussion later this month, when groups from across Somerset will gather to share experiences and consider how to encourage the essential behaviour change that ensures less waste. Invitations to the conference on Saturday 29 September have been going out to a range of green groups, youth clubs, parish councils, housing associations, companies, charities and more. Any organisation from Glastonbury, Street, Ashcott or Walton keen to attend should contact recycle@ somersetwaste.gov.uk. PS: That is also where to send your best WasteWatcher tips – all ideas welcome.

Pain Clinic
What is pain? Health professionals use different terms for different types of pain. • Short-term pain is called Acute Pain.eg. a sprained ankle. • Long-term is called Persistent or Chronic Pain - back trouble or arthritis are examples. • Pain that comes and goes is called Recurrent or Intermittent
Pain - toothache could be one. Many acute pains are like an alarm telling us something is wrong. Most minor ones are easy to treat. Persistent pain often serves no useful purpose. The messages from the warning system linked to long-term conditions like arthritis or back pain are not
needed - just annoying. Over time, it may affect what we can do, our ability to work or sleep. It can have a strong negative effect on our family and friends too. Our aim is to help people improve their painful symptoms and coping abilities, naturally. Contact us on: 01458 860425

Local young people feature in national newspaper report Somerset Rural Youth Project has featured in a national newspaper in a report about the impact of the recession on young people. The story in the Independent on Sunday highlighted the difficulties for young people living in the countryside who are hit harder by fuel costs, transport cuts, bad career advice and few training options. Triston Watkins, of Burtle, who is involved in the charity’s Moped Loan Scheme, was
featured in the national paper. He said: “I live 10 miles from Bridgwater College down on the Somerset Levels. It’s a pretty isolated village. Transport is an issue. There is not much really to do there. I haven’t seen a bus in three years. Those we have are for schools. “When lived in Baltonsborough, I had to cycle to Glastonbury along the canal path about seven miles most mornings. You end up tired before the day has started. I
got a moped at 16. Once you have got a mode of transport it’s alright, but if you haven’t you are pretty stuck. My dad is working abroad and we liek to chat every day on Skype, but somethimes we can’t do it because the internet is so slow. There is no signal for mobiles where we are. It does create problems.” For more information on the charity you can visit the website at www.sryp.org.uk or call 01278 722100
