No sooner had last month’s edition gone to print bemoaning the fact that there were tough times ahead than we had the absolutely marvellous news of a potential revival of steel making on Teesside. It was thrilling news indeed and certainly a reason to be much more optimistic for the immediate future. This news helped us to choose this month’s front cover photograph. That was followed a couple of weeks later by the emergence of a potential new superstar at the Riverside when the intriguingly named Tarmo Kink single handedly provided three well needed points against Burnley with a couple of superb strikes. It will be very surprising after that if many of Teesside’s local footballers aren’t sporting yellow football boots in the very near future! The third and final good news story of the last few weeks was a piece that appeared on BBC’s North East News proclaiming Skinningrove to be potentially the next tourist hotspot for the North East. Geographically it certainly has potential but there’s a bit of work to be done first. Never mind. Things are definitely looking up! Happy reading.

New £3m college development opens Redcar & Cleveland College’s brand new Higher Education Centre doors were opened for the first time recently. The £3.94m Higher Education Centre at Redcar & Cleveland College will offer the opportunity for students from Redcar and beyond to study for accredited degree level courses in an environment specifically developed to meet their needs. The centre has been developed in collaboration with two key partners, Teesside University and the Sir William Turner Foundation, who have provided the funding in order to see the project through to fruition. Teaching will focus on courses from within the emerging Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) sector, as well as the Built Environment, Business and Management, Care, Counselling and Health, Computing, Engineering, Sport and Teacher Education & Learner Support. Principal of Redcar & Cleveland College, Gary Groom, said of the centre: “The opening of Redcar & Cleveland College’s Higher Education Centre marks an important step for the provision of education and training in the borough. “It will now be easier than ever for our students to progress through the college to obtain degree level qualifications and we are also looking forward to working with local business and industry to meet their training needs. “Our focus for the centre is firmly upon providing the kind of courses that will be key in filling the future skills needs of PAGE 4
employers within the region and it is great to see so many of our industry leaders here today to share the opening with us.” Chair of the Redcar & Cleveland College Board of Governors, John Coulthard, added: “What we have achieved with the Higher Education Centre builds upon our already world class Phase 1 development, which opened in 2008. State-of-the-art equipment, including the latest Computer Aided Design software, robotics, Biometric and 3D technology, will be installed in the centre’s classrooms and workshops, ensuring that students receive their training using the most cutting edge facilities available. Peter Chester, a Sir William Turner Foundation Governor and former history lecturer at the College, said: “The College, the University and the Sir William Turner Foundation have come together to invest in a building which represents a new vision for this College, the town and the local community, and we are pleased to be part of this.

Potentially fantastic news! While the news that a multi million pound deal to revive steel-making on Teesside has potentially been struck we should still be careful not to consider everything totally signed and sealed just yet. The deal will – according to Corus bosses – “take a few more weeks or months” to fully complete so we should at least temper our joy for the time being. The memorandum of understanding signed between Thai steel company SSI and Corus
to acquire the Teesside Cast Products operation in a proposed £320m deal is nevertheless the most promising chain of events since the mothballing last February and union officials have warmly welcomed the news. SSI President Win Viriyaprapaikit claimed his company had great respect both for the tradition of steel-making on Teesside PAGE 6
and for the highly-skilled Teesside workforce. His knowledge of the area - and indeed its steelmaking emanates from the fact that towards the end of 2009 SSI was TCP’s biggest single customer and it was the site’s skills, experience and passion that helped pave the way for a potential takeover. “This transaction’ he said, “will enable SSI to fulfil its long-standing objective of becoming a fully-integrated steel producer with both melting
and rolling facilities. When I came to the site last October I saw and felt the people’s passion for the plant. I’d never felt that anywhere else in the world it was special. My family has always been in steel - this is our 55th year in business and we are about investing for the long-term.” With statements like that we can only hope that things will continue to
move forward and that some of the 1600 jobs lost in the initial closure can be restored in the not too distant future. Corus Long products director Jon Bolton is certainly optimistic, saying that this was very good news and a significant step towards restarting steel-making on Teesside. “It is” he said “the result of almost 18 months hard work by Corus to find a long-term strategic partner who will provide a sustainable future for Teesside Cast Products.” Things are quickly moving on with financial institutions having already inspected the Redcar facility with a view to putting the multi million pounds financing in place. It is now estimated that all being well steelmaking could be resumed early next year – yet more confirmation that Corus have never wavered from their determination to maintain their Teesside presence. And while this is still not a final agreement and there is still plenty of work to be done, confidence in the deal is growing by the day.

Alternative approach to disease High Blood Pressure High blood pressure is a huge problem these days, partly because there is an increasing number of people with it, but also because of many doctor’s approach to it. When we go to the doc’s for an ordinary check-up we will usually have our blood pressure taken to see how we are doing. This is fine as long as it is done ‘with feet on the ground’. However most of us can be found to have high blood pressure at some stage or other for various reasons and if assessed at that time could find ourselves put on some regime or other – even drugs. If our pressure is up there can be many reasons for it. It may just be on a high at that time because something is going on in our lives. We may be one of the many who suffer with ‘white coat syndrome’, where we have anxiety about seeing the doctor for fear of them or what they might find. A red-blooded male may find a rise in pressure if it is taken by an attractive female, and conversely the red-blooded female! The biggest causes of high blood pressure are stress, obesity and eating habits, hardening of the arteries, and one must also consider a genetic susceptibility. Blindly giving blood pressure tablets and being told that we will likely have to take them for the rest of our lives is way off course. The medication forces the blood pressure to reduce, but does absolutely nothing about the reason for our having it. This means the cause only continues to affect us, which means if it is unable to affect us in that way it will find another, and possibly more dangerous or sinister. It also means that we are possibly needlessly poisoning our bodies with chemicals which can also result in slowly built-up side-effects. We have become a nation that waits until we have a problem and then expect our doc to sort it. What we should be doing is taking control for ourselves. Assessing ourselves as to where things may be going wrong and taking steps to correct it. Better still, being aware of how we can maintain our health and take preventive measures whenever we believe we are in danger. Prevention is far less effort than cure. Quite often, all that is needed is some small change in out lifestyles or eating habits, but I still find it amazing that most people do not wish to make those changes, and would rather take the pills and have done with it! For those who do wish to be in control for themselves, it can be a simple matter of attending a series of lifestyle workshops to learn how to maintain our optimum health. Otherwise get a holopathic assessment to establish exactly why we have the problem and what we can do about it. It does not necessarily mean that we commit to seeing a practitioner for numerous sessions as it usually involves awareness and self-help.

A series too far There is little doubt that ‘My Family’ has been deservedly one of the most successful British sitcoms in the last twenty years. Launched in the early 2000s, audience figures have been consistently high despite a constant change in personnel and after ten years it appeared to be as popular as ever. However, the latest series – the tenth - came to an end recently and with storylines becoming increasingly bizarre and the main characters acting totally out of character with the people we have come to know and grudgingly admire it seems that this is definitely a series too far. At the beginning ‘My Family’ featured strong stereotypical characters that were easy to identify with in situations that were simultaneously comical, embarrassing, and yet believable. Stars of the show were comedy veteran Robert Lindsay as dentist Ben Harper, the excellent Zoë Wanamaker as his wife Susan and Kris Marshall, Daniela Denby-Ashe and Gabriel Thomson as their children. The real find was Kris Marshall who played oldest son Nick, a gormless, naive buffoon who worked harder to stay out of work than he did to stay in it. Testaments to his ability as a comedy actor included the ‘Best Newcomer’ prize at the 2002 British Comedy Awards. Sadly he only lasted four series and left for a wider variety of roles including his current character Adam in the BT adverts. He was quickly followed by Daniela Denby-Ashe who played sister Janey and it was at that point that the series began to deteriorate. Attempts to replace the two led to a series of unlikely scenarios in which virtually anyone who turned up at the Harper’s front door was allowed to become a lodger. Since then a variety of characters have come and gone and Janey has returned – but all to the detriment of the programme. Amazingly, Series 11 - as well as two Christmas specials - have already been recorded, and is likely to be broadcast in spring 2011, but it really has already gone further than it should. Zoë Wanamaker, in fact said in 2007 that she was no longer happy with the quality of the writing, and claimed she and Robert Lindsay even refused to film one episode because it was so poor. In May 2009, the two stars revealed they were still unhappy with the writing quality, with Robert Lindsay stating "There's Kirkleatham Churches Charity Shop some real dross in the scripts and we're aware of it". He later admitted that the Open: Tuesdays 9.30am – 12.30pm eleventh series might be the last stating Good quality clean clothes; bric-a-brac; "As far as Zoe and I are concerned, we will small household items; CDs & DVDs do a tenth series of 16 episodes, which the Details of larger items available BBC will probably split into a tenth and Refreshments available eleventh, then that will be it.’ Let’s hope so!

Thumbs down to the new social plague! At the risk of appearing to be one of those irritating old people who refuse to move with the times I have to admit to believing that mobile phones are quickly becoming the modern equivalent of the plague! It doesn’t matter how hard you try to avoid them it’s an impossibility because it would appear that every human on the planet under fifty has suddenly grown one like an extra appendage. If Darwin was right and evolution is a fact it’s quite clear that any future human development will include a mobile shaped ear and a narrower, stubbier thumb for more accurate texting. Not that accuracy in texting is a particular necessity because the way most texts are composed has very little to do with the English language and absolutely nothing to do with spelling and punctuation. ‘A recent study’ (another irritating modern expression that alleviates the need for hard evidence) has found that texting from a mobile has become the most popular means of communicating ahead of both telephone calls and social networking sites. (I could have told them that without any expense whatsoever!) A further, quite astonishing find was that HALF of all kids aged five to nine own a mobile - despite Government guidelines warning no one under 16 should use them. For youngsters aged seven to fifteen the figure goes up to 75 per cent. Now while even I accept that pen and paper is virtually obsolete and there are huge advantages in being able to electronically send someone a message so easily, the tendency among the young is to use texts instead of speech so they can no longer communicate in the traditional fashion. There is therefore a danger that this comparatively recent phenomenon will ultimately render conversation redundant and consign properly written English to the dustbin. It has to be a worry that despite the odd Government innuendo about the health dangers caused by overuse of mobiles the real threat is to the whole future of the English language.

game board so that the numbers 1 through 9 occur exactly once in each row, column, and 3x3 box. The numbers can appear in any order and diagonals are not considered. Your initial game board will consist of several numbers that are already placed. Those numbers cannot be changed. Your goal is to fill in the empty squares following the simple rule above.

New Habits
Start saving money and reduce your food waste, and make the most of the food you buy. Here are our top tips ... • Why not start writing a shopping list - Did you know that half of us make a shopping list all or some of the time, but half don’t stick to it in the store. Try making 2010 the year of the shopping list and sticking to it! • Try planning weekly menus - Take the effort out of thinking what you are going to cook each night, and wondering if you have the ingredients to make it, by planning weekly menus. By buying ingredients for the delicious meals we’ve planned at the supermarket, we will be less likely to buy foods we won’t get round to using up. • There really is such a thing as a free lunch - Simply by using what’s already in the fridge, or last night’s leftovers for a packed lunch at work, we can save between £3.00 and £5.00 a day. • Get friendly with your freezer - There’s not much that can’t be frozen for later. Freeze your leftover festive foods such as meats and cheeses to eat in the New Year. • Double up on family favourites - When you’re cooking dishes such as Bolognese, chilli, soups and casseroles, cook one for now and freeze one for later. That way you will have a ready made meal when you get in on these cold nights. • Store cupboard essentials - Keeping essentials such as oils, sauces, beans, pasta and rice in the store cupboard means that there’ll always be something to create a quick meal with odds and ends in the fridge which might have been forgotten otherwise. • Perfect Portions - One of the reasons we throw away food is because we cook too much! Its easy to cook too much of foods such as pasta, rice and potatoes, so use the Love Food hate Waste portion calculator to help you buy and cook just the right amount of food for yourself, your family and your friends.

What Should I do with Unwanted Electrical Goods? Waste electronic and electrical equipment (commonly referred to as “WEEE”) such as phones, televisions, fridges, household gadgets and tools and computers is one of the fastest growing types of waste in the UK; we threw away over one million tonnes of it last year alone. Much of this waste ends up in landfill, where lead and other toxins can cause soil and water contamination: but is possible to repair and recycle many electrical items, or to extract components, such as precious metals, plastic and steel. So how do we dispose of electronic waste? If you are buying a new appliance, ask the store what you should do with it. Some retailers will take back old electrical items in store, while others will direct you to your local recycling centre. At Dunsdale and Warrenby we have containers specifically for electronic goods. We also provide a bulky waste collection service. If you are getting rid of something in good working order, consider donating it to a friend, family or local school, hospital, residential home or suchlike.
Battery Recycling
Currently over 1 billion batteries are thrown away in Britain every year. By recycling batteries we can reduce landfill and recover hazardous waste. We will also help meet the target of recycling over 25% of the batteries used by 2012. We have battery buckets for household batteries to be deposited in our Council Office Reception areas. Batteries can also be taken to Asda, Tesco or Morrisons stores.
If you have any questions about our waste and recycling services, please contact the council on 01642 774 774 or visit www.redcar-cleveland.gov.uk/recycling PAGE 18

Carrot, tomato and courgette soup At this time of year most local allotments are teeming with hearty vegetables and that tends to be reflected in lower prices at the grocer or supermarket. Autumnal weather is also setting in so we thought a nice, hearty, warming soup might be a great idea for the family. Despite its heartiness, however, it is also very low on calories so it will fill you up, warm you up and yet do no damage to your figure at all. Try it with a slice of warm crusty whole-grain bread! Cook Time: 30 minutes Ingredients: • 1 medium onion, finely chopped • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped • 1 tsp ground coriander • 4 medium carrots, peeled and sliced • 1 medium courgette, halved lengthwise, then sliced • 1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained • 3 cups chicken stock (made with chicken cubes for low fat content) • 1 cup fresh coriander, roughly chopped Preparation: Heat 2 tsp olive oil in large pot on medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic until softened. Add ground coriander and stir well. Add carrots and courgettes, followed by canned tomatoes and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Add fresh coriander. Stir and simmer for 5 more minutes. Remove from heat, transfer soup to a blender, working in batches if necessary. Blend until smooth. Serves 6-8

Join the revolution We are all obviously aware that the biggest industrial revolution since the industrial revolution has been taking place over the past twenty years or so with technology almost doing what George Orwell said it would in his spookily accurate 1949 novel ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four.’ Big Brother is indeed watching us and there isn’t a legitimate resident of this country (or any other for that matter) who doesn’t already appear on innumerable computer lists. Yet despite terms like ‘computer,’ ‘laptop,’ ‘Email,’ ‘Broadband,’ ‘digital’ and ‘networking’ becoming part of the everyday language there are still many, many people in this country – especially among my generation of sixty somethings – who consider it all just a blur and something way beyond them. And that is actually a real tragedy because if you’re one of those people you really are missing out on an awful lot. I was fortunate that in my working life a computer was an integral part of my equipment and since I am far from being technical I was led into the revolution gradually, assimilating each piece of information at my own pace. I am so glad I was able to do that because like many others the computer has made life so much easier. Items like shopping, booking holidays, getting accurate, upto-date information on bus and train journeys, keeping in touch with friends and relatives and keeping control of my finances are all aspects of life that can now be undertaken easily and quickly from the comfort of my own home because the digital revolution is primarily an information revolution. There is nothing – apart perhaps for the true meaning of life! – that can’t be discovered at the push of a button. The best aspect for me, however, is being able to keeping in touch with loved ones instantly and very, very easily. My daughter emigrated to Australia four years ago but through the miracle of ‘Skype’ I can sit in front of my monitor with her lovely face beaming back at me and hold an hour long conversation without having to worry about the clock ticking. It’s all part of the Broadband service and there are many, many people who would benefit tremendously from it if they were only given the opportunity. That opportunity does actually exist, of course, because there are loads of adult education centres only too pleased to take older people in as pupils and teach them the rudiments. Most libraries also have computers available for general use so you can actually discover what you’ve been missing before you make the financial commitment. And even there things have changed dramatically because prices of computers continue to drop and costs are far from prohibitive. Most of us could be up and running with all the power and technology we need for just a few hundred pounds. In a ‘Catch 22’ scenario it could be even cheaper if you bought your equipment through ‘E-bay,’ but of course that sort of thing comes later once you know what you’re doing. So don’t be frightened. Get out there and try it while you have the chance. It’s really fun, it’s highly therapeutic, it’s extremely enlightening and eventually you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it! PAGE 22

Proof reading is a dying art Is it our imagination or is headline writing – and obviously proof reading - becoming something of a dying art. The classic of all time had to be the one placed in the Scottish Daily Record following mighty Celtic’s Scottish F A Cup defeat to the then minnows Caledonian Thistle. ‘SUPER CALLY GO BALISTIC – CELTIC ARE ATROCIOUS.’ really does show a great sense of humour and a terrific use of a popular expression. It’s pretty certain it had editors all over the country wishing they’d said it first.

A bit of light relief from the cricket world Sport seems to be going through a few crises at the moment and after the disappointment of the Pakistan match fixing allegations we decided to delve into the more humorous side of cricket to provide a bit of light relief. We hope you enjoy the stories! The ball had been knocked out of the ground into the lane and everybody was out looking for it. One of the players came across an old tramp, lying in the shade. 'Excuse me' said the cricketer, 'but have you seen a cricket ball?' 'No, I haven't,' replied the tramp. 'But I've brought one from home I could sell you!' Visitor (to cricketer): 'Why are you hitting that little boy?' Cricketer: 'We lost the game.' Visitor: 'Well, what's that got to do with him?' Cricketer: 'He's our mascot.' Fred Truman became famous during his career for the acidic comments he may or may not have made but that were attributed to him anyway. On one occasion Fred clean-bowled a young opening batsman with his first ball and as the youngster was leaving the pitch he said to Fred, ‘Mr Truman, that was a fantastic ball.’ ‘Aye,’ replied Fred, ‘but it were wasted on thee lad.’ The batsman was having a bad time. He played and missed at every ball and was becoming hotter and more flustered by the minute. As the bowler was walking back; the batsman turned to the wicketkeeper. 'Phew,' he said 'what couldn't I do with a bottle of beer.' The wicket-keeper thought for a moment and said 'Hit it with the bat?' During the game, a batsman noticed that the splice was coming out of his bat. In his small village, he was at a loss where to take it to be repaired. Finally, he decided that the blacksmith might do the job and went PAGE 28
along to ask. 'Splice coming loose, eh?' said the blacksmith. 'I get a lot of you chaps in here. I'll have it fixed in a minute.' He put the bat on the anvil, took an enormous hammer and gave it a mighty smash. The bat was as good as new. 'Marvellous!' enthused the batsman, ‘how much do I owe you?'' Let's say a fiver, eh?' said the blacksmith. 'A fiver,’ yelled the batsman, ‘but all you did was hit it with a hammer.’ ‘In that case I'll make you out a bill,' said the blacksmith. He scribbled on a piece of paper and handed it over. The batsman read: ‘To hitting bat with hammer 10 pence. For knowing where to hit £4.90.’ On a tour of Australia, the Pope took a few days off to visit the coast for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach in the Pope-mobile when there was a frantic commotion just off shore. A helpless man, wearing an English cricket shirt, was struggling frantically to free himself from the jaws of a 20 foot shark. As the Pope watched in horror, a speedboat pulled up with three men wearing Australian cricket shirts. One quickly fired a harpoon into the shark's side while the other two reached out and pulled the blue, semiconscious Pommie fan from the water. Then, using long clubs, the three beat the shark to death and hauled it into the boat. Immediately the Pope shouted and summoned them to him. "I give you my blessing for your brave actions. I heard that there were some bitter hatred between Australian and English cricket fans, but now I have seen with my own eyes that this is not true." As the Pope drove off, the harpooner asked his mates, "Who was that?" "It was the Pope" one replied. "He is in direct contact with God and has access to all of God's wisdom." "Well" the harpooner said, "he may have access to God and his wisdom, but he doesn't know sod all about shark fishing..........Is the bait holding up OK or do we need to get another one?"

Have we turned the corner? At the time of writing Gordon Strachan’s job is a hundred per cent safer than it was five days ago, because for the first time for as long as I can remember ‘Boro have taken six points from the last two games. The bizarre fixture lists conjured up by the Championship computers may have had something to do with that, because for the foreseeable future ‘Boro have two home games followed by two away games followed by two home games followed by two away games etc. What happened to alternate home and away fixtures for goodness sake? The big disadvantage is that it may well give us football fans a false sense of optimism because the two winnable home games against Burnley and Reading were duly won and the six points took us well away from the drop zone. Could it be that by the time you read this we’ve lost the next two away games and are back where we were? I sincerely hope not. Tarmo Kink’s heroics against Burnley meant he started the Reading game but sadly he missed a couple of easier chances than the two he had taken on the Tuesday night and was eventually replaced by Halliday - a reversal of the previous game’s substitutions. And despite once again getting into some excellent positions Scott PAGE 30
McDonald also missed a couple of decent chances (just as he did against Burnley). That we are making those chances, however, is definitely a turn for the better and eventually we would hope they start to go in. It is, as they say, all a matter of confidence. Most of the fifteen thousand die-hards who attended both games will at least have the satisfaction of knowing that the second performance of the two was infinitely better than the first and was probably the best performance of the season so far. That our next opponents Watford despatched the previously unbeaten-athome Millwall by six goals does not auger particularly
well for our chances but if we have truly turned the corner then this is a game we would hope to get something from. We ‘Boro’ fans have always suffered from inconsistency but now is surely the time to start putting a run together and there’s no better way of showing we can actually do it than by bringing something home from both Watford and Derby. Here’s hoping!
