Playing Fair

What is Fairtrade Fortnight, and why do we need it

airtrade fortnight takes place this year between 23 February and 8 March 2015, and aims to continue to raise awareness and change behaviour around this important topic. Research shows that whilst 78% of the UK population recognise the Fairtrade Mark, over 50% still do not actively choose Fairtrade products. Fairtrade is about getting better prices, working conditions and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about supporting the development of thriving farming and worker communities, so that they have more control over their futures and protecting the environment in which they live and work. It is now possible to buy around over 4,500 products officially branded Fairtrade including: Tea, Coffee, Bananas, Chocolate, Gold, Flowers, Cotton and Sugar. Sadly however, only 1.2% of cocoa

and 10% of tea globally are traded on Fairtrade terms. Did you check the packaging for the Fairtrade logo when you last bought some tea? The Fairtrade mark means that the Fairtrade ingredients in the product have been produced by small scale farmer organisations or plantations that meet social, environmental and economic Fairtrade standards These standards help to protect workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rights and environment. They also ensure payment of the Fairtrade Minimum Price for the commodity, and an additional Fairtrade Premium which is invested into the business or community projects. Small scale farmers and workers are amongst the most marginalized globally, and Fairtrade helps them through trade, not aid, providing stable income to help them plan. Fairtrade only certifies small scale farmer organisations for products such as cocoa, cotton and rice, but does certify plantations with larger numbers of employees for goods such as tea, bananas and flowers. The standards required for larger organisations include allowing them freedom of association and collective bargaining, and prevention of discrimination and

child labour. The producers decide how the Fairtrade premium is invested. Often this will be in schools, transport, health care and better business equipment and practices. There are over 1.4 million f armers and workers in 1,140 producer organisations within the Fairtrade System. These are across 74 different countries and four continents. Fairtrade.org.uk would love people to get involved during Fairtrade fortnight. Here are some suggested activities to increase awareness and raise money. Create a Fairtrade Trail around your local area highlighting those selling Fairtrade products. Build a model of something funded from Fairtrade premium such as a school or health centre, and display this in a prominent place to make it a talking point. Have some fun creating a special event. This could be a film evening showing the Fairtrade film, or something more elaborate such as a Come Dine With Me experience. Tasting events featuring Fairtrade produce are also orris popular.

Unique Anglo-Saxon Sculpture Acquired for Somerset

Suella’s hair raising

ne volunteer from Weston Hospicecare gave more than just her time this week. Suella Stisted, of Yatton,had her head shaved in aid of the charity. Suella, who volunteers in the Hospice’s Yatton shop, has been fundraising since September for the event and has beaten her original target of £300 having raised £600 so far! “I wanted to raise funds for a charity close to my heart and thought what better way to go about it than have my head shaved in the middle of winter!” says Suella, who was joined by her son Tim and granddaughter Beth on the day.

unique Anglo-Saxon sculpture is to go on display at The Museum of Somerset in Taunton after the museum raised £150,000 to acquire it, including a grant of £78,600 awarded by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) .The sculpture, which depicts St Peter, was found by a Somerset builder who used it in his garden at Dowlish Wake near Ilminster to mark the grave of a pet cat. Not until 2004 was it recognised as a nationally-important object, probably dating from about AD 1000. The sculpture is on a limestone panel about 45 cm square and shows St Peter as a bishop with his right hand raised in blessing. A damaged inscription records his name. The sculpture is now back in Somerset and will be on permanent display at the Museum of Somerset from Saturday 17 January

The fundraiser took place at Broad Street Hair in Congresbury in January. Owner, Tracy Taylor,commented: “Even though she was joking whilst having her hair taken off, it felt very emotional. Sue is definitely the bravest customer I’ve ever had sat in my chair! Friends and family have been donating to the cause via Suella’s Just Giving page which will be kept active for a while longer. If you would like to holding an event in aid of Weston Hospicecare contact the team on 01934 423 960 for a Fundraising Tool Kit.

this draws down vital funding for schools. Every child entitled to claim free school meals as a benefit brings £1,300 directly to their school. Cllr Blatchford added: “If parents and carers receiving benefits do not continue to fill out application request forms for free school lunches, schools will lose important funding that benefits individual pupils and the whole school community. There are currently around 700 children in North Somerset who are entitled to claim for a free school meal benefit but don't. That's nearly £1m in wasted funding for schools."

Learning to swim as an adult

ow did it happen? You’ve reached and exceeded the age at which you are legally regarded as an adult. You can drink, vote, drive, get married, pay taxes and get called to war. You have a job, own a home and lead a fulfilling life in lots of ways, but there is just one blot on the horizon – you still can’t swim! The inability to swim is a cause of embarrassment for many adults, and some are reluctant and even ashamed to admit to it. But though you may feel that there is a stigma attached, the first thing to understand is that you are not alone. There are many others just like you, and if you really want to, there is no reason in the world why you can’t master the art! People fail to learn to swim for a number of reasons. Some may have had a traumatic experience – almost drowning for example, after falling into deep water, or being the victim of a prank that got out of hand – whilst others simply may not have had the opportunity. Regardless of the cause, most nonswimming adults are afraid of water, and need to acknowledge the psychological as well as the physical barriers. Fear can keep us safe, but it can also prevent us from moving forward. Many nonswimmers are afraid of putting their face in the water and are scared that they won’t be able to float, yet more or less everyone floats. What sometimes gets in the way is fear and tension that causes you to hold yourself stiffly, hunch your head and shoulders, and push your feet towards the bottom of the pool. Most non-swimmers are afraid to take their feet off the bottom and become panic-stricken if there is nothing to hold onto, but learning to trust that the water will hold you up rather than the reverse, is key to mastering the art of swimming. Though some people may opt to enlist the help of a friend or relative to teach them to swim, the best course is probably to turn to a professional with the correct training. But there are things you can do yourself to help boost confidence: Walk around in chest-deep water to get used to how it feels and maintain balance; Repeatedly dip your face and body in and out of the water, holding on to the side for support; Practice floating on your stomach with your face in the water; With the help of a float, lie on your back, gradually introducing kicking movements with your legs. However you decide to proceed, please remember there is no shame in not being able to swim! By Debbie Singh-Bhatti

Beat the burglar this winter

campaign to stay safe and beat the burglar this winter has been launched in a joint initiative between North Somerset Council and Avon and Somerset Police. The aim is to keep you and your belongings safe this winter whether you are at home or out and about. The ' keeping you safe in your home' leaflet will be distributed by council and police staff during winter and includes valuable tips on rotecting yourself and your belongings. This year the campaign includes an initiative in which council and police community support officers (PCSOs) are visiting hotspot crime areas and offering advice to residents whose homes appear to be at an increased risk from thieves. Top tips to help you beat the burglar include: Lighting: make it look like you are in when you are out by using a timer switch on lights fitted with energy saving bulbs or radios. Hedges and trees: trim hedges and trees so that burglars can’t hide and branches don’t block lighting. th Fences, sheds and gates: make sure the fences around your garden are in good condition and gates can be secured. Fit locks: fit good quality deadlocks to outside doors and ensure you have locks on ground floor windows. Use the locks: close and lock all doors and windows, even if you’re just popping out for a minute. Try to get into the habit of checking doors are locked when you go to bed too. Valuable items: make sure all valuable items (for example, laptops, car and house keys, jewellery) are kept out of view and not left by , your front door – especially if they can be seen through the letterbox. These important woodland areas are internationally-recognised hotspots for wild plants, and are a botanical treasure trove and Ladders and home tools: keep ladders and tools to some of the smallest yet most important wild plants the UK; storedinaway; don’t leave them outside where such as lichens, mosses and ferns that play a massive role inbeour they could used to break into your home. lives.

others. If your child is older, warn them about sharing items such as lipstick, lip balm, make-up, razors, creams, lotions and other personal items such as towels and sports kit. There are some germ hotspots in schools, and cafeteria trays are one of them! One survey found that there were more bacteria per square inch on a cafeteria tray than there were on a toilet seat, probably because the trays don’t get cleaned as often. If your child drops food on a tray, they should throw it away! Finally, your child can build up their immunity by getting enough sleep and exercise, eating a well balanced diet that includes lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, and by drinking plenty of water. Take these preventative measures and hopefully going back to school will be a happy, healthy time for everybody! By Debbie-Sing-Bhatt

Gargoylz: Get up to Mischief By Burchett and Vogler

The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry By Rachel Joyce

etirement is meant to be relaxing, isn’t it? You do what you love doing, and enjoy yourself. But what if you suddenly receive a letter out of the blue? A woman who worked in your office many years ago has cancer and is dying. She just wants you to know. This touches you for reasons you can’t quite explain, so you write her a note to say that you are sorry to hear that. Putting on your coat and your yacht shoes you leave with the note. Your destination? The post box. Just as far as the end of the road. And so starts Harold Fry’s extraordinary journey: 627 miles in 87 days. With no plan, other than to reach Queenie, he sets off on a journey of faith. Scribbling on the note he tells her to wait for him. This debut novel from radio and TV writer, Rachel Joyce, will take you on a gentle journey with Harold and the various people he meets along the way. Totally unprepared for what he will encounter, his faith in positive thinking keeps him going as he learns more about his life and relationships with his wife and son.

f you thought your time at primary school was exciting, then you have nothing on nine-year-old Max and his best friend Ben. Their school is next to an old church and to their delight, they discover that the stone figures on the church come to life. In this, the second book in the series, Toby, a mischievous young gargoyle with the ability to fly, manages to create havoc at the school, much to the disgust of Mrs Hogsbottom who, after an incident with a skateboard, reminds pupils of school rule number 27: the head teacher must not be run over without permission. Max spends most of his time trying to keep Toby and the other gargoylz under control: not easy when they can make themselves invisible and so avoid all the blame! When he suggests that Toby runs a bath to clean himself up after eating a packet of chocolate biscuits, it’s not difficult to imagine the rather wet chaos that ensues. Written for readers age 6+, with an interactive website to explore the stories and characters more, this is sure to keep both boys and girls engrossed, with the added bonus of many more books to enjoy.

Model railway show is a hit for Hospice

he 7th annual Weston-super-Mare Model Railway Show delighted fans of all ages in January. The event was held in aid of Weston Hospicecare who has received £20,000 from the fundraiser over the last five years. The Campus at Locking Castle was packed between the hours of 1 am and 5 pm which saw attendees queuing around the block to get in. The Mayor and Mayoress were in attendance to judge the best in show. First place went to Derek Briars from Halesowen who showed his very impressive layout for Owen Street. David Jeanes of Stockport was awarded second prize for his Llantwy layout which even included a canal scene. Third prize was given to one of the more unusual model layouts on display. Simon Addebee from Bridgwater presented his Lord of the Rings inspired work to the judges, which he has named Hobbington. Children and adults were invited to wander around the building looking at the impressive train displays, before taking part in a raffle to generate further donations for the Hospice.

Derek Briars was presented with an engraved clock as a lifetime achievement award. This was a lovely gesture as Derek will be ending his involvement with the show this year. Fundraiser Blair Chadwick commented: “It’s brilliant to see a Hospice event so well attended – especially by those who have travelled far. We’d like to say a big thank you for all of the generous donations that we have received and a very special mention to Keith Price who organises the show. We can’t wait until the next event in September!”

Weston’s New Event

SAVE BIRNBECK PIER www.birnbeck-pier.co.uk

fter several years of ownership changes, as well as many years of neglect, it appears that we are about to say goodbye to the grand old Lady of Birnbeck; otherwise known as Birnbeck Pier. We are all guilty in some way for the sad demise of this historic and unique pier (the only pier that links the mainland to an island).Our lack of action has meant that this dear old Lady has been put into the distant memories of many people's minds; who occasionally reminisce about the various paddle steamers and ferries that once visited - having a pint in the Paddle Steamer bar and, in her heyday, enjoying the roller-skating rink, a bioscope theatre (an early form of cinema), a flying machine, switchback railway and the famous water chute ride. The pier plays a significant part of the history of Weston even playing her part in WW2 as “HMS Birnbeck” but now she is crumbling into the sea. it was not until the last few weeks, with high tides and gale force winds, that it suddenly occurred to me that we might lose her for ever. How many of us have driven past her regularly and thought to ourselves,“why isn't anybody doing anything about her”? I decided that something needed to be done and, as the saying goes, actions speak louder than words.

As it happened, several other people had the same idea and, by coincidence, our paths met and here we are today seeking to save the old pier. Our group Let's Save Birnbeck Pier has been set up with the intention of gaining ownership of the entire Birnbeck site so that we can rejuvenate the pier and the island for past, present and future generations to enjoy once again. We are not concerned with the politics of why she has been left to fall into such a state of disrepair .That would be a waste of energy and time. What we are concentrating on is the immediate future and regeneration, which will involve the whole community; including youth organisations, schools and colleges, disability groups, etc. By involving the whole community we are hoping that everyone will take ownership of the pier,which we intend to run as a not-for-profit organisation. We are currently in the process of amalgamating with the , with the intention of forming a charitable trust. We need volunteers to join this campaign and save our pier.

HMS Birnbeck

MS Birnbeck played a vital part in the D Day landings in 1944. It was there that they developed some of the top secret weapons, that were to be used to storm the beaches.

One of these was the Panjandrum. Panjandrum, known also as The Great Panjandrum, was one of a number of highly experimental projects, including Hajile and the Hedgehog, that were developed by the Admiralty's Directorate of Miscellaneous Weapons Development in the final years of World War II.

Schoolchildren could be taught life-saving CPR under new Labour proposals

he Labour Party has released a new strategy to improve the nation’s health if the party wins the next election. As part of the strategy, Shadow Health Secretary Andy Burnham said that all young people would have access to training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of defibrillators before they leave school. The party would push to increase the number of Automatic External Defibrillators in major public venues. The strategy also aims to protect children from the marketing of products that are high in fat, salt and sugar. Simon Gillespie, Chief Executive of the British Heart Foundation, said: “The BHF has been campaigning strongly for a number of years for measures such as lifesaving CPR to be a mandatory part of the school curriculum and for action to be taken to stop our young people being bombarded with junk food advertising before the 9pm watershed. We are calling for these important measures because they could help save thousands of lives by helping prevent the onset of heart disease, and keeping more hearts beating in the event of a cardiac arrest. “Cardiovascular disease kills around 160,000 people in the UK every year. Each year over 30,000 people have a cardiac arrest outside of hospital. These figures show why improving the nation’s heart health and getting more people trained in CPR should be high on every political agenda.

“We are keen for all political parties to support these crucial causes.”

Feather Their Nest D

id you know that there is a National Nest Box Week? This year it takes place from 14-21 February. The event is organised by the British Trust for Ornithology. The idea started in 1997 following fears about birds losing their natural nest sites because of lots of trees being cut down, old buildings disappearing, gardens being ‘tidied’ and old houses being repaired. The Trust wants us to put up nest boxes so that we can protect the wildlife we have, and encourage even more birds to come into our gardens. It is estimated that there are now over 5 million nest boxes in the UK designed to help everything from Robins to Owls. Different types of nesting box attract different birds. So in a box with small holes, you might get Blue Tit’s, Nuthatches, Redstarts or House Sparrows. Boxes with larger holes may encourage Starlings, Spotted Flycatcher and Pied Wagtails. Imagine how lovely it would be to watch the birds going in and out of your boxes and hopefully some young ones hatching there. If you are careful and quiet, you can even peek inside the box from time to time when the eggs are

incubating, as most birds will sit tight. If you want to count the

How do you eat yours?

ver the years I’ve tried my pancakes with fruit, maple syrup, and a variety of savoury fillings, but I keep coming back to fresh lemon juice and a sprinkling of sugar...irresistible. Here is my own recipe for perfect pancakes. Ingredients

Pancake Day Tuesday February 17th

115g (4oz) plain flour Pinch salt 1 large egg 285ml (half a pint of milk) 115g (4oz) butter, melted Juice from 2 lemons, strained Caster or Demerara sugar to taste.

To make the batter: sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the The Weston & Worle Viewcentre. - September 29 Beat in2014 the egg and a little of the milk until smooth. Gradually beat in the remaining milk and add 4 tablespoons of the melted butter. Cover the bowl and leave to stand for one hour In a small non-stick frying pan heat some of the butter until sizzling, but taking care not to let it burn. Pour enough batter into the pan to coat the base evenly. Cook over a moderate heat until the pancake is light golden brown underneath and looks dry on top. Flip over (try to do this with style!) and cook the other side until golden. Continue until all the batter is used. The recipe should make 10-12 pancakes. You can keep the pancakes warm in the oven (Gas mark 1 / 140C) until they are all cooked, but in our house they’re barely out the frying pan before they’re scoffed.

Sieve the flour with the baking powder and mix in the ground almonds. Grate the lemon zest and add this to the mix too. Beat the eggs lightly then add to the creamed butter and sugar, a little at a time. Don’t worry if it curdles a little. Gently fold in the flour, almonds and baking powder with a large metal spoon. Dollop the cake mixture into the lined tin. Bake for 45 minutes until golden. To test it, insert a metal skewer. If the skewer comes out clean, the cake is cooked.

A Garden View

Blowsy Begonias

very gardener has at least one guilty secret: mine is begonias. My mother insists they are vulgar and she wouldn’t give them house room. A gardening friend turned up her nose at my begonia baskets last year, but I won’t hear a word against them. They are the cheerful, cockney barrow boys of the plant world and I love them. They are pretty easy to grow once you know how, and you can start them off any time now if you have a warm windowsill or a propagator. One of the reasons I find them so satisfying to grow is that they start life as a rather unprepossessing tuber, which my husband once described as looking like dried dog poo - he isn’t a gardener.The tubers should feel rock hard when you squeeze them. If they feel spongy, put them back . There is also a right way up and a wrong way up. Take your tuber and examine it. There should be a concave surface - like a little dip - and a convex surface. The dip is the upper surface from which the shoots will grow and the convex surface sprouts the roots. Fill some 12cm/5inch pots with soil-less potting compost so that the surface of the compost is 2.5cm /1 inch below the rim of the pot. This eventually allows for watering, but at this time of year the top of the tuber should be kept dry. Push the tubers – remember concave side up - into the compost so that the top of each tuber is still visible. Do not bury them.Keep the pots at somewhere between 15-18C / 60-75F in the propagator, in a greenhouse, or on a bright windowsill, though not in direct sunlight. Water with care, and when the first flowers appear make sure they are well ventilated. High humidity and erratic watering can cause the buds to drop off. Finally, begonias have both male and female flowers. The male ones are far bigger and more showy, so pinch off the female ones, which can be spotted because they possess an embryonic seed pod behind the bud. Doing this will mean that the male flowers last much longer. You may need to stake them to support the heads. When summer arrives, you will be able to plant up pots and baskets and bask in the flamboyant blowsy beauty of the begonia: Who could resist. By Rachel Leverton
