The tough economic climate was further stretched with the recent approval of £3.1m cuts to Redcar and Cleveland’s 2010/11 budget by a meeting of the full council. This cut in the funding allocation is in addition to a £9.8m “value for money” savings target the council was already pursuing and underlines in an area still reeling from the Corus closure that times will continue to be tough. To compensate somewhat we have tried in this edition to feature some of the more positive local events. We outline the plans to convert the existing Redcar Fire Station into a new state of the art community facility to meet the needs of young people in the area while also applauding the same young people for their excellent ‘A’ level results. Yet if anything is likely to raise our spirits it’s the piece of history we were all able to celebrate on August 20th when the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain was marked with a reading of Winston Churchill’s most famous speech and a fly-past of Spitfire and Hurricane fighter-planes outside the Churchill War Rooms in central London. Churchill’s stirring “so much owed by so many to so few” address was read exactly 70 years after the wartime prime minister delivered it in parliament and still stirs the blood even now. We should all feel both grateful and lucky! Happy reading. The Eye is published by Media Eye (NE) Ltd, Unit 116, Innovation Centre, Corfu Way, Kirkleatham Business Park, Redcar, TS10 5SH.

Trainee joiner James makes it a fantastic seven for college at construction competition A student from Redcar & Cleveland College has nailed a top title at the regional heats of a prestigious national skills competition, bringing the total number of winners from the college to seven over the past eight years. James Dent from Kirklevington near Yarm proved that he is one of the best trainees in the North East, following success at the regional heat of this year’s SkillBuild – the UK’s biggest construction skills competition. James, 18, who is studying a Foundation Modern Apprenticeship at NVQ Level 2 in Joinery, won a gold medal in the Joinery category of the competition, which took place at Newcastle College. Talking about his success at the competition, James, who has been supported throughout his studies by his employers Walter Smith Joinery, said: “Living on a farm, I have always enjoyed the practical hands-on style of working and through my apprenticeship and studying at the college, I could develop these skills even further. When I didn’t win last year I was gutted so it spurred me on even more to win this time and I am really pleased.” To win the competition, including a prize of his own set of tools, James was required to create a door from pieces of softwood timber which includes drawing out the design, marking the wood, cutting accurately and assembling the pieces, using various bits of equipment. Head of Department for Construction at Redcar & Cleveland College, Keith Smith, said of James’ success: PAGE 4
“Redcar & Cleveland College has a long and successful history of construction craft training and a great track record at the SkillBuild competition. The strength of the partnership between the college, local employers and providers such as Construction Skills means that we can offer top quality training to rival any college in the UK. “James has worked really hard in this competition and his success provides additional motivation for other students on the course. We have some real talent here in the north east, as the results show and we hope that he will now go on to national success.” James will now be flying the flag for the North East and will have their chance to compete against the other UK regions at the SkillBuild national final, which will take place from 8 – 10 September at Coleg Menai Construction Skills Centre in Anglesey. National winners from this year’s competition will then have the opportunity to represent the UK and compete in the 2011 international WorldSkills competition in London.

Coffee break humour One man’s hobby was fishing and he spent all his weekends near the river or lake, paying no attention to weather. One Sunday, early in the morning, he went to the river, as usual but it was so cold and wet he decided to return back to his house. He came in, went to his bedroom, undressed and laid near his wife. “What terrible weather today honey,” he said to her. “Yes. And my idiot husband went fishing!” she replied. PAGE 6

Youth development project for Redcar starts as fire station moves premises temporarily AN ambitious project to build a community facility for young people in Redcar reaches a significant milestone this week Building work will shortly commence to covert the existing Redcar Fire Station into a new state of the art community facility that will be open for business in Spring 2011. The aim is to bring together partner agencies under one roof to deliver services that meet the needs of young people in the area

Have you made a will? A recent report claims that one person in two dies without leaving a will, a situation that - in the opinion of the experts we talked to – could lead to numerous problems after death. They assured us that it is so easy to make a will that everyone should be able to do it. ‘Even a homemade will,’ they declared, ‘is certainly better than not having one at all.’ The main problem is that if you die without leaving a will it can not only create legal and financial problems for your family, but – even worse – it could lead to the possibility of the government getting your money. There are numerous ‘do it yourself’ will kits available on the market but they obviously mean you have to read the instructions carefully as there’s nobody with them to offer advice or check if you’ve done it correctly. Even simple mistakes such as having your signature witnessed
PAGE 10
by someone who is a beneficiary can make it invalid, so there are rules that need to be adhered to. The most important aspect of your will, however, is that it has to make it very clear how you want your estate to be distributed. It also has to be legally and properly witnessed and it has to be dated and signed by yourself. Bear in mind that the solicitor who handled your house sale or your divorce isn’t necessarily the ideal person to consult on your will. For more advice in that department you can contact the Law Society on www.lawsociety.org.uk or by calling 0870 6062555 for details of solicitors working in your area who specialise in will writing. You really do owe it to your family to be properly prepared.

The Origins of the great hit singles The piece on page 24 in this edition that lists the top ten selling British singles of all time got us all thinking about those truly iconic hits that never actually made it to number one, but influenced not only the popular music of the day but society as well. It was therefore decided to begin a series that traces the origins of such music and where better to start than with “The Who’s’ absolute classic ‘My Generation.’ In 1965 guitarist and songwriter Pete Townsend has purchased a car with a bit of a difference – it was a Packard hearse which he parked outside his house in London’s Chesham Place immediately adjacent to Buckingham Palace. The funeral of her husband King George VI had used a similar vehicle and it brought back unhappy memories for the Queen Mother who could see the car from her window. With an imperious wave of the Royal Hand she arranged to have the car immediately towed away, much to Townsend’s disgust. A short while afterwards he was driving a different car and had another run-in with a similarly upper class lady who made a disparaging comment about his class and his origins.
These two incidents inspired him to put pen to paper to create a composition that outlined the frustration of being young and working class in grey, drizzly, rigidly hierarchal 1960s Britain. That each verse was dominated with the line ‘Hope I die before I get old’ was a hard hitting comment on the way most kids felt in that era. The song actually started as a slow blues number but Townsend’s colleagues John Entwhistle (bass) and Keith Moon (drums) created a relentless, charging, repetitive rhythm that was wholly sympathetic with the snarling, protesting lyrics. Singer Roger Daltry introduced a stutter to the words to demonstrate not only that the younger generation were not as confident as their elders perceived but also to emulate the effect of the mod era’s preferred drug ‘the Purple `Heart.’ In view of the song’s undoubted influence it was amazing that it didn’t go to Number One but on this particular record “The Who’ became the mouthpiece for millions.

Mixed feelings about excellent results The pointless annual argument about levels of difficulty in exams has once again reared its ugly head following the 28th consecutive year of grade improvements. Over one in four have achieved an A and one in 12 the new A* so surely it’s time the critics accepted that because of the constantly increasing competition for top jobs students are simply working harder to achieve the necessary grades and should therefore get the credit they deserve. Unfortunately there is an even more worrying aspect to the argument this year because even with the right results the future is looking increasingly perilous for many. Some 660,000 school-leavers have applied to go to university yet the coalition's capping of entry levels means that more students than ever – up to a third according to Government forecasts - face disappointment. Higher Education minister David Willetts sparked a storm of controversy when he suggested that those who don't succeed in their first choice should either apply for slightly less competitive universities or go into work. In some ways he’s right, though, because kids who show they are willing to do almost anything just to get onto the employment ladder have a much higher chance of ultimately succeeding than those who consider certain jobs beneath their dignity. There is no doubt in my mind that it is easier to get a job when you already have one than it is if you haven’t. The big problem that should be pointed out to Mr Willetts, however, is that with so many school leavers looking for that initial start many will again lose out. It really is a ‘Catch 22’ situation. For now, though, we should be proud of the achievements of our students and congratulate them on some excellent figures. That mixed feelings about the future should accompany those results is a problem that the new coalition Government should address before it escalates out of control in years to come.
Sudoku There is really only one rule to Sudoku: Fill in the
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.

The world according to Cliff Claven Frequently repeated on the Sky entertainment channels, Cheers remains one of the most popular American soaps thanks in no small part to Cliff Claven - the verbose know-it-all postal worker who was one of the regulars at the bar. Played by John Ratzenberger, Cliff hung out with his friend Norm at the tavern in Boston where he often spouted awkward bits of knowledge to his fellow drinkers. Here are some of his gems! "Well you see, Norm, it's like this . . A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of alcohol eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few drinks".. Asked for an explanation of how someone can drink ice cold beer in freezing weather Cliff tells them. ‘When the British ruled the Punjab,’ he said, ’they drank steaming hot pots of tea on the hottest days of the year to balance out their inside and outside temperatures. See, conversely drinking an ice cold drink on a cold day actually results in a more comfortable body temperature.’ ‘In that case,’ Diane asks, "Why do you drink ice cold beer on a hot day?" and Cliff comes back with "What else are you going to do with it?" PAGE 18
Asked about the animal kingdom Cliff says ‘Here's a little known fact. The smartest animal is the pig.’ Norm interrupts: "They look pretty stupid.” No, I'm telling you, your average oinker, yeah, yeah, yeah, scientists say; if a pig had thumbs and a language it could be trained to do simple manual labour. Norm then asks "You mean they'd be part of the workforce?" Cliff answers: "Yeah, yeah, they'd give you 20, 30 years of loyal service, then at the retirement dinner you could eat them.’ Norm is talking about buying a new house with a bathroom big enough that you could fall down without hitting your head on anything. Cliff thinks that it's a smart idea. ‘That's smart, that's smart,’ he said ‘because it's a little known fact that 42% of all deaths in America are caused by accidents in the home.’ "So were you!" uttered Carla. ‘They did a study comparing postal workers to chimpanzees’ says Cliff, ‘and proved that while chimps were 32% slower they were better with public relations.’ ‘A Freudian slip is saying one thing and meaning a mother.’

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. Log onto www.lovefoodshatewaste.com for more information.
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.

Alternative approach to disease - IBS When we go to the doc’s when we have a problem with our bowels, we may be told that we have irritable bowel syndrome and possibly given an anti-spasmodic and told to eat plenty of roughage. Although these can help with the symptoms sometimes, they can actually also sometimes make things worse. So what is going on? To answer this I think we need to know something about IBS and why it’s happening. Irritable bowel is when our bowels become erratic in their function, as in loose to normal, or bunged up to normal, or worse still, bunged up to loose. Our bowels go into irritation for various reasons, such as we may be a very nervy person, which can result in a nervous bowel, or have a ‘tummy bug’. The most common, however, is because the flora and fauna in our intestines is out of balance. When we are well we should have a healthy balance of approximately 85% friendly resident bacteria to 15% not so friendly fungoids. If that balance is tipped over one way or other our bowel can go into distress. For example, if we eat something that threatens the balance, the body will do what it can to get rid of it, possibly in the form of diarrhoea. Nowadays though, we have an even greater threat in the form of liberally prescribed antibiotics – they kill bacteria, and not just where you have the infection. Coupled with all the sugars we eat, it often upsets that ecological balance in the gut. This now allows the fungoids to flourish and start to actually try break down our gut as well! Like a trodden-on worm, our bowel now wriggles, one moment going into spasm which blocks the regular passage of the bolas of food, and the next moment ejecting it as fast as possible which results in loose bowels. An added give-away of the above can come in the form of thrush, where the fungoids have escaped via the anus and now invade the creases, particularly in the female. Long-term invasion can spread into the bladder and even the kidneys. Too much fibre can irritate the situation even more. Other symptoms can include the likes of fatigue, rashes and even acne, but the telling one is the build-up of cravings for the likes of sweets and sugars, as well as starches like breads, biscuits and pastries, also root veggies such as potatoes. All those starches turn to sugar when we chew them and it is sugars that feed the fungoids. So what is the answer? The answer is very simple: antibiotics should be given more appropriately, and our cravings should be fettled. Remedying it is not so easy because it does take a fair amount of will-power. Bear in mind that the fungoids need to be reduced back down to their 15%. The easy part is to build up the bacteria levels again by regularly taking some form of pro-biotic, and that does not mean those nice little bottles we get from the supermarkets. I have yet to see one culture in a petrie dish! We can get various pro-biotic supplements from health shops and chemists. Better the smaller ones and more regularly. The difficult bit is the dietry regimen that is needed to starve the fungoids out, bearing in mind what it is they live off! Yes, usually for a basic case a four-week strict regimen is need to bring them to order, followed by a gradual move back to relatively normal eating over a period of about eight weeks. To be sure that we are doing the right thing we should be checked out by the likes of a Holopathic Practitioner who will assess our specific needs. Those with an extensive bowel problem definitely need their full case taken first. By Prof. Steve Russell for The Restoratory 10 Dundas Street West, Saltburn. 01287 207787

Lists CAN be interesting! Creating lists of things and then turning them into TV programmes seems to be the latest ploy to create cheap broadcasting. ‘100 best TV endings,’ ‘100 best family film moments,’ ‘100 scariest scenes’ have all been created over the last couple of years and I suppose if it’s a subject that interests you it could be a fascinating watch. My personal favourites are always the music lists and with the pop industry changing completely over the past ten years to accommodate the huge switch from buying to downloading it’s more than likely that the list of the UK’s top selling single and albums of all time in the UK lists will now remain unchanged. So, unless something extraordinary happens in the future these will probably remain the top selling records in the country forever! Can’t believe Robson & Jerome feature and Elvis doesn’t!

The philosophy of a multi billionaire Whatever your feelings about a man who has made billions from the computer revolution you have to look up to him if that same man recognises that the modern trend towards feel-good, politically correct teaching could have created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and therefore set up to fail in the real world. At a recent High School speech day Microsoft founder Bill Gates outlined his rules for life - vitally important lessons that children would certainly not learn in the modern classroom. They were: Rule 1 : Life is not fair - get used to it! Rule 2 : The world doesn't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. Rule 3 : You will NOT make ÂŁ60,000 a year right out of high school and you won't be a vice-president of a big company until you actually deserve both. Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. Rule 5 : Serving burgers in somewhere like McDonalds should not be beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different expression for it: they called it opportunity. Rule 6 : If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them. Rule 7 : Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you think you are. So, before you go off to save the rain forests from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the cupboards in your own room. Rule 8 : Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and stopped having winners and losers on sports day. They'll also give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life. Rule 9 : Life is not divided into holidays. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that in your own time. Rule 10 : Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs. Rule 11 : Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one. PAGE 26

Football is indeed a funny old game Football people consistently prove with both their actions and their words that football is indeed a funny old game. And since the launch of the ‘Red Tops’ many moons ago it has also become the most talked about subject in the country - a fact that has given rise to both dubious legend and numerous quotes whose origins are to say the least questionable! Here are just a few.... While on Sunderland’s books Kevin Phillips was stopped for speeding and the policeman told him he would get three points. ‘I don’t suppose,’ said Phillips, ‘you could give them to the team!’ When Gary Pendrey was booked for a dangerously late tackle he asked the referee why he was having his name taken. The ref said ‘you were late in the tackle.’ ‘Well,’ said Pendrey, ‘I got there as quick as I could.’ ‘It took a lot of bottle for Tony Adams to admit to being an alcoholic.’ Ex Arsenal footballer and TV presenter Ian Wright. ‘I couldn’t settle in Italy. It was like living in a foreign country.’ - Liverpool legend Ian Rush. ‘I had eleven clubs in my career – or twelve if you count Stringfellows!’ – The much – travelled Frank Worthington. Scottish international goalkeeper Andy Goram was described in the Sun as being ‘a bit of a schizophrenic.’ At the next game supporters began chanting ‘Two Andy PAGE 28
Gorams, there’s only two Andy Gorams’..... Gordon Strachan (at a previous club!). ‘We’re fourth in the table. Fourth! I just hope nobody gets a nose bleed. I’m going home now and I’m going to sit with a bottle of coke, a packet of crisps and stare at the Teletext league tables for three hours.’ A referee who was also a police inspector was giving his pre-match talk at Manchester City. When finished he asked if anyone had any questions. ‘Yes,’ said Mike Summerbee. ‘When are you going to catch Lord Lucan?’ Peter Beardsley – ‘When I was seventeen I could have signed for Newcastle but I decided I was better off at Carlisle. I’d had a good drink that night!’ Alan Brazil – Breakfast time on Talksport; ‘Our talking point this morning is George Best, his liver transplant and the booze culture in football. And don’t forget, the best caller wins a crate of john Smith’s.’ Mark Viduka ; ‘I wouldn’t care if we lost every game as long as we won the league.’ Alan Shearer ; I’ve never wanted to leave. I’m here for the rest of my life, and hopefully after that as well.’ Ron Atkinson after a particularly bad decision was given against his team : ‘I never comment on referees and I’m not going to break the habit of a lifetime for that prat!’
