President’s Letter

As I am writing this President's letter, I am overwhelmed with the unprecedented events that are taking place today. I am watching on TV the State Funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who died 10 days ago at Balmoral, Scotland. It is the end of a second Elizabethan era and we now have a new King, Charles III, and we will see many changes taking places soon.

I also have to announce the sad news, that one of our members since 2019, Susan Hall, who was the sister of Sally Holloway, died on 29th July in a tragic car accident in the UK. Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this time.

We haven't had many events to report over the last couple of months, but the club has remained open throughout the summer for a few activities and always for our Thursday meetings. These are the times that we can keep you up to date on what is happening at the club. Watch the information put out on our Facebook page, the ICE website if you can, and also the club noticeboard.

Many events are scheduled to take place over the next 3 months in the lead up to Christmas. I can't believe I am thinking about that already. The regular weekly activities are restarting and we also have a busy social calendar ahead.

We have accepted a volunteer, Paul Parrick, for the position of Treasurer, to take over the reins from Ted Lunniss when he retires next March. Paul will shadow Ted from now and will attend committee meetings until he can be voted into the position at the next AGM. Let us wish Paul good luck and thank him for coming forward to do this very important role.

Julie Wood has recently stepped down as the organiser of the Ladies Lunches, which she has done for many years and we thank her for all her hard work in this role. Lynne Danby has agreed to take on the role. It is not a committee position, but the lunches are very well attended and hopefully will continue to be popular. Although we always refer to it as Ladies lunch, the gents usually go to a venue close by at the same time.

We are still very short of volunteers to help in all the usual positions - bar and cooking assistance, advertising and maintenance managers being just a few. If you can offer some help with any of these things, please let one of the committee know. Looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the forthcoming events.

Sheila Fox, President

Like puzzles There’s a new one every day on the ICE website!

CODEWORDS (Answers Page 34)

Codewords are like crossword puzzles - but have no clues! Instead, every letter of the alphabet has been replaced by a number, the same number representing the same letter throughout the puzzle. All you have to do is decide which letter is represented by which number! To start you off, we reveal the codes for two or three letters. With these letters filled in throughout the puzzle, you'll have enough clues to start guessing words and discovering other letters.

SUDOKU (Answers Page 34)

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each 9-box square contains all of the numbers from 1 to 9.

SUNFLOWER OIL

TherecentinvasionofRussiaintheUkrainehasdrawnattentiontotheworld supplyofsunflower oil,andtotheprogressiveeffectsonbottledcookingoil, margarinesandmanyotherproducts.

Tomeitseemedoddthatoneglobalissuecanhavesuchaneffectonthesupply ofsomethingso‘everyday’ascookingoil.SoIdidabitofresearch.

SincelastMarch,wehavebeentoldthattheUkraineistheworld’sgreatest producerofsunflowersandhenceitsoil, andwithouttheircrops,therestofthe worldwillhavetogoshort,andyet,allaroundusinSpainweseefieldsand fieldsofsunflowers.Howcanthisbetrue?

Thenumbersspeakforthemselveswhenyoufindthatabout20millionmetric tonsofsunflowerseedsareconsumedeachyear,andahalfofthatamount comesfromthecombinedproductionofRussiaandtheUkraine.

SowhataboutSpain,andFrance,andtheUS? Itseemsthat,comparedwith RussiaandtheUkraine,allthosefieldsofsunflowersarescarcelyworth counting.Comparethe5milliontonsthatbothRussiaandtheUkraineproduce, pooroldSpainproducesonlyaboutahalfamilliontons,andwhileFrancedoes abitbetterwithabout 600thousandtons,theUnitedStatesproduceonlyabout aquarterofamilliontons allbasedonthe2019productionfigures.

Sunflowers need fertile ground, and rain and direct sunshine at the right time of the year. All of that is obviously available in Russia and the Ukraine, and so too in Kazakhstan, parts of Europe, Argentina, Brazil, China, Tanzania and South Africa. So it’s not impossible to produce more than we already do, even within Europe, but our fertile fields are already being used for other produce that we also want. And that’s why the vast majority of the crop currently being denied us by Russia or inaccessible from the Ukraine, has been allowed to happen.

Interestingly, once the sunflower itself has enjoyed its time in the sun, and the seeds have matured to the point of harvesting, and that happens in about September and October, the weather doesn’t play much of a part. In the States, the farms of North Dakota, for instance, can take out their John Deere harvesters in flurries of snow and sub-zero temperatures, and still return a good product in mid October, and no doubt the same happens on the plains of Russia and the Ukraine. So, while it is a seasonal crop, it’s not troubled at harvest-time as is wheat and barley, when a wet autumn can play havoc with the economy of the crop.

And as for sewing the seeds, there are no great demands either; after ploughing to a depth of about 30 cm, and sewing the seeds by automatic feeders 50 cm apart (to allow the leaves to get plenty of sunlight) the plants will grow to a height of 1.50 to 2.00 m in fields stretching as far as the eye can see. We really are talking of vast areas many square kilometres. And reliable machinery is the key to success. And we have that!

So, while we can say that we (the rest of the world) should not have allowed Russia and the Ukraine to dominate the world production of a very attractive seed, the shortage can be dealt with, in time, and meanwhile, there are other oils other that the yukky palm oil to use instead.

As Del boy used to say, ‘This time next year, Rodney, we’ll be doing alright!’ Submitted by Geoff Morgan
