4 Dear Bournemouth residents,
Introduction
The Bournemouth Directory -
It is that very festive time of year again. Yes already! We have the whole family coming for to stay for a few days and I am really looking forward to it. What are your plans? A luxury holiday away (oh that sounds amazing), a big family gathering or just some time on your own? Whatever you decide to do, Stephen and I hope that you can relax, have some Christmas cheer and ponder over the last year, whilst looking forward to a bright new start in 2019. Setting goals for a New Year can be quite refreshing. Do well with that one!

Bournemouth & Poole College showcases local talent at the fifth Dorset Arts Prize One of the largest arts prizes outside London has once again attracted outstanding submissions. This year Bournemouth & Poole College teamed up with Poole Museum to present the fifth Dorset Arts Prize. Created to actively engage the community and help promote a broader, more inclusive vision for the arts locally, the competition was open to all Dorset artists, designers and makers. The theme for this year’s competition was ‘open’, to allow the artists the freedom to produce work in whichever format they felt most confident in. This year the Arts Prize welcomed Sibyl Fine King, director of the Fine Family Foundation, as the newest member of the judging panel. The foundation supports Dorset-based charitable bodies working with the environment, the arts, education, health and also in community projects. Sibyl worked alongside international artist and former student Stuart Semple, international photographer Tony Worobiec and the Borough of Poole’s Museum and Arts Manager Michael Spender, to judge the competition. Funded by the College and the Dorset Community Foundation Trust, the winners of the award categories ranged from Year 10 and Year 11’s, to the over 19’s and received rewards of up to £1,000. The winner of the Student Achievement Award also won a £2,500 bursary to put towards higher education progression or a business start-up. This year’s winner of the Achievement Award was photography graduate Charlotte Acton. Charlotte one day hopes to open her own photography studio and expressed her joy at receiving the award, which she “really didn’t expect to win”. Charlotte was rewarded for her portraiture work. She explained how she enjoyed creating photographic portraits of her brother, who is “one in a million.” She went on to say that “his features are really unique and offer some fascinating angles.” Parkstone Grammar School’s winner of the 16-18 year old category, Mia Pangilinan, was equally pleased with her award. Mia took the time to create a 3D piece of work depicting “the little things in life.”
Mia explained that she wanted “to take everyday things in life that we don’t appreciate and make them permanent.” Parkstone Grammar representatives Elizabeth Sturdy and Anne Batley were hugely impressed with Mia’s imaginative artwork, along with the submissions of their other students which contributed to Parkstone Grammar winning the overall School Art Prize. The pair explained how they encourage as many of their students as possible to enter their competition, as “they have a really good chance to gain some rewards and recognition for producing such wonderful work.” Anne and Elizabeth also mentioned that their students were “hugely excited” at the prospect of their work being on display for the public at the Poole Museum. Diane Grannell, Bournemouth & Poole College Principal, said: “It was a pleasure to work with the Poole Museum to host the fifth Dorset Arts Prize. “The Prize has always been a fantastic way to encourage collaboration between local schools, and as a way for both students and adults in the local community to showcase their tremendous creativity and talent. “With the artwork being placed on display in the museum, we are proud that this year the wider public can also enjoy the fantastic work that has been submitted.”

Bournemouth Books on Wheels Cream Tea
Over 40 volunteers enjoyed a delicious cream tea in beautiful sunshine at the Argyll Bowls Club in Westbourne on 29th October. This annual event brings together Royal Voluntary Service volunteers from Books on Wheels and other services across the area. Lisa Knight, Operations Manager for the South West, presented volunteer Sylvia LeGros with her 5 year badge, and volunteers Jenny and John Gurden with their 15 year medals. She thanked all our volunteers for their hard work and commitment, and the difference they make to people across their community. Mrs. Knight gave special thanks to the county’s longest serving volunteer, Mrs. Gwen Raggett, who, now aged 92, joined the organisation in 1964 and is still delivering books on 6 rounds.

Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service. Group Managing Director Marcus McGee believes that Which? have endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s long standing
company policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 25 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. Locally Cloudy2Clear service the Bournemouth area
and manager Justin Friel agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Justin a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Wildlife News
Talking about Wildlife...
Thinking Green! Sustainable living seems to have moved higher up on the news agenda’s in 2018. This year there won’t have been many of us who haven’t seen an image of a beach, home or away, littered with plastic, or a beloved marine creature wrapped up in plastic, inside and out. This raises the allimportant question: what can we do about it?
Being ‘green’ and caring for the environment isn’t easy – if it were, we wouldn’t be in this situation. The plastic that pollutes our seas exists because it’s made our lives easier in some way. For some of us, changing our habits to move to an alterative may seem more inconvenient or expensive a�er years of taking the ‘easy option’ which has been given to us. But there are things we can do in our daily lives which take little or no effort and could actually save you money in the process. 1. Reduce single-use plastic: Say no to drinking straws, say no to single use plastic bags and say no to plastic bottles. Did you know some of these items can hang around for over 500 years before they start to break down? Buy a reusable water bottle, go without the straw or buy a material shopping bag you can use time and time again. 2. Composting: Not only is composting your food scraps great for reducing waste, but it’s also beneficial for your garden and its
wildlife. Many councils offer a food waste collection bin – if you have one, make sure you use it!
3. Seafood sourcing: Do you know where your seafood is coming from? 90% of global fish stocks are either fully or over-exploited. Use the Good Fish Guide to find out which fish are the most and least sustainable before you make your purchase. www.mcsuk.org/goodfishguide/ search 4. Replace your coffee cup: Not all takeaway coffee cups are recyclable, so why don’t you help cut down on the waste and get your own reusable coffee cup? Some cafes will give you a discount for doing so – in DWT’s Fine Foundation Chesil Beach Centre and Lorton Meadows Conservation Centre, receive a 10% discount on your coffee or tea! 5. Buy and support local: 100% of the profit from DWT’s online shop and visitor centre shops goes straight back into looking a�er wildlife in Dorset. Where possible we focus on locally sourced and made products that have acceptable environmental and sustainable credentials. Dorset Wildlife Trust offers, in our online shop, selected ‘eco-friendly’ products, perfect for a gi� for Christmas or to change your way of living. By Sally Welbourn Communications Officer

An overnight carer who doesn’t need to stay Right at Home Bournemouth and Poole is an award winning home care company.
Its superb home care services don’t stop just because most people have gone to bed, it also offers short overnight popin visits known as Twilight or Mobile Nights for those who need reassurance or specific tasks carried out between 10.30pm and 7am. Our twilight service means: • You get a short visit of up to 20 minutes at a time you choose during the night • You don’t have the imposition of a carer staying in your house overnight with you • Your family is reassured that someone is able to attend to you during the night. • For our existing daytime or twilight clients, we are able to offer an oncall service overnight to assist with the unexpected • For many of our clients, this is a viable and cost effective alternative
to having a carer stay in their house overnight: it costs £30 - £35 compared with £100 plus per night • In many instances, taking advantage of our Twilight service has enabled clients to be discharged from hospital earlier than would otherwise have been possible Our Twilight caregivers are carefully selected and we pay them and treat them well. This means they are experienced and proactive: caregivers who really make a difference. Although many care companies find recruitment really difficult, when we seek applications for our Twilight roles, we really are overwhelmed with excellent candidates. For client safety and to ensure the safety of our staff, Twilight caregivers always work in pairs. Working in pairs ensures they better able to deal with the unexpected. Even so, for our Twilight team, there is always a member of our dedicated and experienced management team on the end of a phone if they need further support.

Likely tasks for a Twilight caregiver could include a safety check, assistance with turning or positioning, toileting and continence care, pressure area checks, assistance with hydration or nutrition or simply a reassuring visit for someone living with anxiety or dementia. We’ve also supported clients who need assistance going to bed at night but find conventional care companies are unable to offer them a late enough visit: such visits attract a bespoke charge and many of our clients have appreciated the increased choice this offers them. If you would like more information about our Twilight service, please contact our friendly team on 01202 280855. You can also get in touch through our website and Facebook page or by emailing bournemouth@ rightathomeUK.com www.rightathomeUK.com/ bournemouth

“My family have used Right at Home since 2014. My father had suffered a stroke and had a major heart operation and as a consequence had mobility and communication issues. At times he could be difficult to manage and required understanding and patience. “His close family lived an hour away and it was essential that a care provider was found to cope with the possibility of a call at short notice and be there for him if needed urgently. Right at Home assessed his needs and allocated care staff that understood my father’s health issues and ensured his care was sensitive and delivered in a way that was supportive to him. This was a great relief to his family. I found all the staff to be extremely helpful and they were always willing to change visiting times, purchase food or drink if stocks were low and administer medication if necessary and at times call for the emergency services if my father was unwell or in need of medical assistance. I cannot thank them enough for the professional service we received whilst my father was at home. “In conclusion, no issue was too big and no problem too small for them to deal with and put the family’s mind at rest. My father has now moved to full time nursing care and is near his family and although he now has residential care he is extremely grateful and complimentary regarding all the staff from Right at Home. Thank you.” Jerry D

Bournemouth Town Centre BID & Bournemouth Council Collaboration Increases Free Christmas Car Parking With the Christmas period fast approaching, collaboration between Bournemouth Town Centre BID and Bournemouth Borough Council has resulted in a significant rise in the amount of free car parking which will be available in no less than 13 locations across the town centre on selected dates from the 16th November. Representing the interests of local businesses, Bournemouth Town Centre BID has worked with the council to address concerns over the impact of lane restrictions on the A338 and provide further incentive for visitors to Bournemouth this Christmas. Bournemouth Borough Council’s yearly provision of free car parking on Sundays and Thursday evenings will return this year in selected car parks but this year it will also include the Avenue Road car park. Free parking will be available all day Sunday on the following dates; 9th, 16th 23rd, December. From 4 pm on Thursday evenings, free car parking will also be available on the following dates; 6th, 13th, 20th December. The car parks included are: Avenue Road, Richmond Gardens Multi-Storey, Eden Glen, Central, Richmond Hill, Winter Gardens, Braidley Road Bridge, West Hill, Town Hall Forecourt, Town Hall Extension, Town Hall Annexe, and 9/11 St Stephens Road.
Bournemouth Borough Council who were positively responsive to our request.
Complimenting the Christmas Tree Wonderland and other town centre attractions, the increase in free car parking represents another strong enhancement to Bournemouth town centre’s superb visitor experience this Christmas.” Leader of the Council, Cllr John Beesley, said: “We are pleased to have been part of the ongoing, constructive and open dialogue with Bournemouth Town Centre BID about the pressures traders and retailers currently face. We also recognise that most rely on the crucial Christmas period for trading. Already working with the BID to offer fabulous and exciting new Christmas attractions this year, we are pleased to extend that support to increase the Christmas car parking offer in Bournemouth. I very much hope this will lead to an upturn in town centre visitors to shop, eat, relax and generally soak up our amazing festive atmosphere.” To find out more about the Bournemouth Town Centre BID, visit www.towncentrebid.co.uk.
Martin Davies, Town Centre BID Chairman, said: “Many of our town centre businesses have expressed the need for increased free parking provisions this Christmas period. Acting on their behalf, the BID discussed this with

27 and walk with the tress in this warm, humid envelopment. Quite an experience. We even had a neck and shoulder massage from a therapist inside. How wonderful was that. In the treetops There are also educational talks for the youngsters and adults alike, so you can learn as you look. Now, I was there with two active ‘boys’. One my husband and one our 14 year old son, so this wonderful calmness I was experiencing was not going to last long. No. Mum there is an exciting, fast and exhilarating life to lead out there, after-all, there is the adventurous “Hangloose” Zip Wire and colossal Swing to fly on! Oh dear, it had to be done. Hayden and I did go on the huge swing which literally falls from a great height and hurls you into the valley above the tree tops,
Yes, let’s!
...whose bright idea?
Up, up and away... screaming away. It was a far cry from my blissful wander with nature. Fun though I have to say, but shush, don’t tell the boys that! Stephen and Hayden had a thrilling ride on Zip Wire, while I looked after the bags (a rather good excuse…). Stephen, who does not like heights, tried to get off rather quickly at the end and looked a little white, but I think he enjoyed it! Actually, both he and Hayden were grinning from ear to ear. It gave them that adrenaline rush these boys so yearn. Oh for that cup of coffee… The whole day was truly enjoyable. Tim Smit wanted to create a “symbol of optimism where ordinary people working together could do the nearly impossible.” What an amazing purpose. Nellie was truly impressed when we recounted our day to her. Ever optimistic herself and always happy when we have a family day out, she also grinned from headlight to headlight. If you want to become a member of the Eden Project please go online to www. edenproject.com. I am sure they would love to hear from you. Where will we go next and will “Daichi, the Dashing Dude” be here to take us…? Find out next month. Debbie Corney

Naturally good...
CURRIED CELERIAC SOUP WITH PARSNIP CHIPS Ingredients for 6 servings: 2 medium sized celeriac (celery root) ½ a white or yellow onion (diced) 2 sticks of celery (diced) 1 clove garlic (minced) 50 g unsalted butter 1 litre vegetable stock 250 ml double cream 1 tsp medium curry powder Pinch of smoked paprika Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste 1 small parsnip 6 tbsp. crème fraiche
Method: 1. Use a sharp knife to remove the rough outer skin of the celeriac and then wash to remove any dirt. 2. Cut the celeriac into 1 inch cubes and place into a large heavy bottomed saucepan along with the diced onion and celery and cook on a medium heat with the butter for approximately 5 minutes without allowing it to color. This helps to release the flavors of the vegetables. 3. Next add the vegetable stock and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and continue to simmer for approximately 20 minutes until all of the vegetables are tender. 4. While the soup is cooking add the curry powder and paprika. 5. Once the vegetables are fully cooked remove the pan from the heat and use a stick blender to puree the soup until thick and creamy. At this point stir in the cream and taste the soup for seasoning, make sure you add the right amount of salt and pepper to help bring out the flavors of the soup. 6. If you like your soup a little spicier, then add some more curry powder. 7. To make the parsnip chips peel the parsnip and then use a vegetable peeler to slice the parsnip into thin long strips, deep fry in hot vegetable oil for 2 minutes until crispy and then drain onto paper towels and season with a little sea salt. 8. Place the soup back on the stove for a couple of minutes to make sure it’s piping hot. 9. To serve spoon the soup into bowls and then drizzle with a generous spoonful of crème fraiche and top with a sprinkling of parsnips crisps and freshly chopped parsley or micro shoots.

Nuffield Health Bournemouth Welcomes Dorset’s Only Female Orthopaedic Surgeon Nuffield Health is ‘thrilled’ to welcome Dorset’s first female orthopaedic surgeon to its evergrowing team of leading consultants. Nikki Kelsall is an orthopaedic and trauma surgeon who specialises in foot and ankle problems, including diabetic foot conditions. Nikki offers a regular clinic at Nuffield Health Bournemouth Hospital tending to patients with any problems affecting their feet or ankles. Nikki often sees patients that suffer with bunions, curly toes, flat feet, foot or ankle pain, ulcers, ankle arthritis and Achilles disorders. As well as this, Nikki also commonly sees patients with soft tissue and bony foot or ankle injuries. As a once committed dancer and performer, Nikki knows first-hand how important it is to look after your feet. Nikki Kelsall, orthopaedic surgeon, said: “I was a dancer for 13 years before studying medicine, this helps me understand why amateur and professional performers and athletes, have a drive to get back on their feet quickly, no matter their age. “Recently I treated a man in his 70s who is a professional table tennis champion and required treatment for foot pain, but was desperate to be in tip-top shape before an upcoming match. Seeing him at the Nuffield we were able to schedule his surgery perfectly to get him match ready in time. I was delighted to be able to help him with this.” Nikki undertook her medical training in Bristol and Liverpool before moving to Bournemouth in 2003. Nikki added: “I’m very excited to be starting a regular clinic at Nuffield Health Bournemouth. I love building relationships with my patients and working at Nuffield gives me the opportunity and time to be able to do that in a relaxed and efficient environment. People underestimate the importance of their
feet until something goes wrong. Foot pain can affect every aspect of your life including simply driving to work or doing the shopping as well as high level functioning on a stage or the pitch.” In addition to her passion for treating patients with foot problems Nikki has also focused on medical education and attained her Masters in this subject in 2014. Nikki commented: “For me all the work I put in to educating more junior doctors allows me to focus not only on staying up to date myself, but also on finding ways to communicate complex subjects in an understandable way. This has changed the way that I interact with my patients, helping me to ensure they fully understand the nature of their problems and finding the best ways, with them, to improve their mobility.” David McNair, Hospital Director at Nuffield Health Bournemouth Hospital, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Nikki to the team and have the only female orthopaedic surgeon in Dorset on our staff. Nikki’s expertise allows us to extend our offering for the benefit of our patients and provide new services.” For more information or to book an appointment at Nuffield Health Bournemouth Hospital, call customer services on 01202 375032 or visit: www.nuffieldhealth.com/bournemouth

Gardening Tips
a beginner’s
GUIDE Composting
No garden can have too much compost and rich, fertile soil is the key to great vegetables and plants. In these days of fortnightly bin collections (and the threat of slop buckets for our kitchens) why leave kitchen waste to fester in your wheelie bin when it can be put to good use? Find a corner somewhere in the garden to start a compost heap or, if space is limited, many councils offer bins for the purpose at reasonable prices. If building your own bin, it's best to put it on a soil base which will attract worms to start work on the heap. You could use old planks of wood or chicken wire supported by posts in each corner. This works well as it is important that air can get in to help the process. You need a good mixture of material to make good compost. If you just put in grass cuttings you'll end up with a foul, soggy mess so they should be mixed with shredded newspaper, pruning clippings (not the really woody stems)
and even cardboard. Annual weeds can go in as long as they haven't gone to seed but avoid perennial weeds like dandelions as even the smallest piece of root will produce another plant. Almost all vegetable waste from the kitchen can be used, but avoid meat, fish and cooked food as these may attract rats etc. Use crushed eggshells, used teabags, used kitchen towels and fruit and vegetable peelings. Keep the mixture damp. The aim is to end up with something that is dark, crumbly and sweet smelling and alive with worms. If you wanted to hurry up the process, you can buy accelerants from hardware shops and garden centres but a cheaper and just as efficient method involves collecting urine, diluting it with water and wetting the heap with it. Well, what do you imagine our ancestors used?
