BOX CLEVER Three Veg Pakora
2 med carrots - grated 2 med courgettes - grated 1 small sweet potato - grated 1 med onion - grated 1 tbsp cumin seeds 1 tsp dried chilli flakes (opt) 2 tsp garam masala good pinch salt 250g gram flour sunflower oil method Put all the grated vegetables into a large bowl. Add the spices, salt and flour & mix well. Gradually add enough warm water to make a thick batter. Best done by hand. The mixture should hold together and not be runny. Heat about 1cm oil in a deep frying pan. Once hot, fry spoonfuls of the mixture. Turn half way through so they are golden brown. This only takes a few minutes. Drain on kitchen paper and serve with a mint yogurt dip and mango c h u t n e y. You can vary the veg. These are a great way to get kids eating a variety of veg.
I really like the idea of a weekly veg box delivery, so when Red Earth Organics offered me a box I jumped at the chance. I have to say I was really impressed with the quality, variety and freshness of the produce. A box like the one pictured is ÂŁ11. I think this is great value. These recipes are all from the goodies I received in the box. Red Earth Organics can be reached on 07794 467545.

Poor Disciplinary Procedures May Lead To Tribunal Claims As many employers recognise, there are times when it will be necessary to consider taking disciplinary action against an employee. However, problems within the process can often leave an employer exposed to a claim at the employment tribunal, usually for unfair dismissal. Angela Shaw, employment solicitor at Massers Solicitors in Nottingham, is advising employees of the need to understand their rights during a disciplinary process and also for employers to understand their obligations. An employer should have a written disciplinary procedure which clearly outlines what is deemed to be unacceptable in the workplace, what measures can be taken and the process that will be followed. The procedure should be clearly communicated to the workforce and a copy easily accessible. In some instances, a minor disciplinary issue could be dealt with informally as a means of resolving the problem as amicably as possible. However, more serious issues should be dealt with formally and the employer will need to ensure that it has complied with its obligations, which will also include writing
to the employee providing details of the allegations, arranging a meeting (where the employee can be accompanied by a work colleague or a trade union representative), investigating all the information and evidence gathered and allowing the right of appeal against any decision made. It may also be necessary, in extreme cases and only as a last resort, to suspend the employee on full pay in order to carry out a thorough investigation. There must be a genuine reason or suspicion to instigate the process, it simply cannot be used as a means to terminate employment on fabricated gross misconduct allegations, such as to avoid the costs of a redundancy or to remove an employee quickly! Where an employer fails to follow a proper process and dismissal results, an employee may have grounds to issue a complaint at the employment tribunal for unfair dismissal in addition to any other relevant claim at the time of issue. A claim should usually be issued within three months’ of the termination date but an employee should seek legal advice as soon as possible. Employers should also seek advice before commencing the process to avoid incurring the time, cost and inconvenience of defending a later claim.

All children, including beginners, are welcome to come for a free trial however they must be able to swim a minimum of 100 mtrs without stopping and ride a bike.

The sport is great for kids as the fun bit is training across the 3 different sports of swimming, biking and running.” The sessions form part of Nottingham’s successful Absolute Triathlon Club launched in 2009 and has subsequently raft of awards including the Nottingham Club of the Year.

The Lazy Gardener.... is turfed out!!
Whether your lawn is the size of a postage stamp or a football pitch, to keep it looking green and gorgeous requires some care and attention. In our house the most the lawn ever gets is a mow every few days during the spring and summer...and it does show.
Compaction and sub-surface thatch are two of the main problems on lawns by restricting water, air and nutrients getting through. Hollow-tine aeration is the most effective way of reducing these problems by removing thousands of cores out of the lawn, allowing the roots to spread enabling them to receive nutrients. Aeration stimulates and encourages root growth and can be done with a garden fork or a special mechanical aerator. Re seed Any worn/bare patches caused by the summer wear can be re-seeded now.
I have since learnt that grass never stops growing it just slows down and we should really keep mowing at least monthly through Autumn and Winter subject to dry conditions.
Leaves Prevent accumulation of fallen leaves by removing them from the lawn weekly otherwise the grass will struggle to survive and diseases may establish themselves.
For some more tips on improving the state of my lawn I contacted our good friends at Green Thumb and David Kelly has kindly given me some great tips which I am delighted to share with you.... Autumn is a very important time of the year for lawn maintenance. Scarification This is an essential part of lawn maintenance. We scarify to remove matted growth and thatch both of which are detrimental to a lawn, thinning out the thatch improves the plants growing conditions and it also reduces one of the causes of moss. It can be done with a specialist hand tool or a machine. Aeration Put simply aeration is making holes in the lawn to let carbon dioxide out of the soil and allow oxygen in.
....Blimey, thanks for all those tips Dave. I had no idea there was so much involved. For those of us with very little time (or inclination!) companies like Green Thumb offer a great lawn care service and it really doesn’t cost the earth. For more information on lawn care or to get Dave and his team round to help just give them a call on 0115 965 4743. Š Ali Wale

By the time you read this the Chorus will (hopefully) have had a successful Open Night and introduced some more men to the joys of Barbershop singing.

They will be headlining their own show on the 10th November at 7.30pm in Long Eaton Silver Prize Band Social Club, Salisbury Street, NG10 1BA featuring ‘Essentially Brass’ a quintet from the Long Eaton Club. They will be supported by two Barbershop quartets ‘Just in Time’ and ‘Homespun’. The show will finish at around 9.30pm when you can join us for a sing-along in the bar. Tickets are £5 and £3 for children. Contact Bryan on 01159463803 or e-mail bckc50@ sky.com to book tickets. If you are seeking entertainment contact Peter on 01530243822 or e-mail publicity. gcc@gmail.com Any number of singers can be provided from four to forty. Fees are negotiable. Quality is guaranteed. Visit the website www.grandcentralchorus.com for more information. Rehearsals are every Wednesday evening at 7.15pm in Harrington School, Derby Road, Long Eaton, NG10 4BJ.

From Inspector Germit Kaur... In recent weeks we have been dealing with some issues of antisocial behaviour and namely drug use in the area of Bernard Street, Watcombe Circus, Loscoe Road and Waldeck Road. We engaged with the local community on this issue, through a public meeting on 26 September 2012. We have also carried out a leaflet drop in the relevant areas. In conjunction with the City Council’s Antisocial Behaviour Team, we have increased patrols in the area in a bid to deter and detect this sort of activity and we are carrying out stop-searches and warrants, where appropriate. We have also dealt with a number of car fires in Mapperley and Carrington. These were started deliberately and caused a great deal of distress for the vehicles’ owners. While it may seem like a bit of fun to those responsible, the consequences of this behaviour can be very serious, both for the offenders and potential victims. A conviction for arson carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. At the very least a car fire can cause weeks of hardship for those left without their vehicles, but fire can also very easily spread to nearby buildings and property, causing further damage and also putting lives at risk. I urge residents to report suspicious activity concerning drugs or interference with cars to us immediately. Anyone with any information about the culprits should call the beat team in confidence or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
On a more positive note, it’s great to see the effect the Olympics and Paralympics have had on many of us, with local residents deciding to don the Lycra and get fit. This enthusiasm is directly reflected in an increased number of cyclists and joggers on the roads. Last month (September) we ran a road safety campaign highlighting the dangers of the ‘Fatal Four’ on our highways. Speeding, drink driving, mobile phone use while behind the wheel and a lack of seatbelts are the main causes of death or serious injury on our roads. Let’s make sure those of us who are hitting the roads in the name of a healthier lifestyle are able to do so safely. In the run up to Halloween and Bonfire Night I would also ask parents to be aware of their children’s plans in a bid to avoid any nuisance and antisocial behaviour. Ensure any Trick or Treating will be respectful of those members of the community who do not wish to partake on the festivities and enjoy the fireworks sensibly. And don’t forget your pets during the fireworks celebrations. Keep them secure indoors to avoid them escaping and being found on the roads or annoying your neighbours by barking the night away.

A Lifeline for Animals in Need
Animal Accident Rescue Unit is a transport service for sick, injured or vulnerable animals and birds. It provides both transport to a vet surgery, arranging for their treatment and caring for them in foster homes until either their owner can be traced or new homes can be found. The Charity has no central base and is run entirely by volunteers working from their own homes. It has taken in so many cats over the last few months, it desperately needs new fosterers who can provide a temporary home for one of our rescued cats. If you think you can help, please ring the Recruitment Officer on 0115-956 3799 (recruitment calls only).
