YMCA Bournemouth invites/challenges communityminded local businesses to take part in its biggest ever sponsored rough sleeping event On the night of November 17, directors and staff from an expected 20+ businesses and organisations across Dorset will be braving the cold on behalf of YMCA Bournemouth to support ‘The BIG Sleep Easy’ at The Bournemouth Sports Club (Chapel Gate) near Bournemouth International Airport. Fundraisers will wrap up warm, build shelters out of cardboard boxes, take part in fun challenges and then sleep outside for the night, protected only by their sleeping bag, hot drinks and the warm messages of those who’ve sponsored them. The event will take place in an enclosed area of Bournemouth Sports Club from 6.45pm on Saturday to 8am on Sunday morning. YMCA Bournemouth are inviting local businesses, groups and organisations to put their own teams forward for the event, the purpose of which is to raise awareness of local homelessness and essential funds to support the charity’s work. Fundraising Manager, Martin Stockley, said: “We had such great feedback from our previous Sleep Easy collaborations with Bournemouth University and Lytchett Minster School, we wanted to open the opportunity up to the local
business community, who we thought would also benefit from the event’s teambuilding aspects, positive local community involvement and resulting impact.” He added: “The aim is to raise at least £10,000 to go towards our work providing the support that homeless individuals need to help them return to independent living and a positive long-term future. We urge all employees to mention the event to their managers – it’s going to be a great night out for all involved!” Local businesses already putting teams forward include Altogether Care, Corbin & Co and Make Studio, plus Dorset Chamber of Commerce and Industry members ITSB, Keyfort and Lester Aldridge. If organisations would like to join other local businesses for a night under the stars this autumn and make a real difference to people’s lives, they can request an information pack from Martin Stockley on 07897 563 473 or martin.stockley@ ymcabournemouth.org.uk. Individual fundraisers are also very welcome to join in the fun!

Understanding Hearing Loss The ear is made up of three parts. The outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. Sound is received by the outer ear and is channelled through the ear canal to the ear drum and the middle ear. The sound causes the ear drum to vibrate and results in the tiny bones in the middle ear tapping against each other, this vibration is transferred to the 30,000 tiny hair cells in the inner ear. Types of hearing loss 1. Conductive hearing loss: sound is blocked in the outer or middle ear. Causes could be • Excessive wax • Damaged ear drum • Ear infection or fluid in the middle ear • Stiffness in the bones of the middle ear Solution • Often can be medically treated • Hearing instruments can be very successful if unable to treat medically
7
2. Sensorineural hearing loss: damage to the inner hair cells or the hearing nerve impairs the transmission of sound signals to the brain. Causes • Ageing • Noise exposure • Hereditary factors Solution • Cannot be corrected with medicine or surgery • Hearing aids can be extremely helpful If you have concerns about your hearing or are feeling hesitant about your next step, consider the vast improvements in quality of life experienced by people who take action. Studies, and our clients, have shown that once they begin using hearing instruments they enjoy great improvements in social, emotional and physical wellbeing. Make the first step today and call Clarity Hearing on 01202 478881 to arrange your free hearing health check.

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!

Talking about Wildlife... Red Squirrel Adoptions Red Squirrels are in need of help, so this autumn, treat yourself or a loved one to a special wildlife gift with a Dorset Wildlife Trust wildlife adoption. This time of year, the red squirrel can be seen scurrying around the woodland floor collecting nuts for winter and jumping between trees on Brownsea Island, in Poole Harbour, Dorset. The popular red squirrel, a native species, has been in decline for many years, but Brownsea Island, owned by the National Trust, is proud to give a home to a population of 200 of these enchanting creatures. The island is one of the few safe havens for the reds in the South West. They can be seen by visitors for most of the year but are particularly active during the autumn as they prepare for winter. It’s the perfect time of year
to make a daytrip to the beautiful nature reserve, managed by Dorset Wildlife Trust (DWT) on Brownsea Island. By adopting a red squirrel for just £20, DWT can help ensure that the habitat which is so important for their survival on the island is maintained and managed for many years to come. Adopting a red squirrel this autumn for £20 each, will not only make a unique and wonderful gift for yourself or a loved one, but will contributing to conservation work in Dorset. Each pack comes with an adoption certificate, soft toy, pin badge and information about the species. Buy online at www.dorsetwildlifetrust. org.uk/redsquirreladopt or ring 01305 264620 (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm). By Sally Welbourn Communications Officer Red Squirrel making eye contact

Wimborne’s community skate park enhanced by Talbot Village Trust Talbot Village Trust has provided the Streetlight Project in Wimborne with just under £7,000 to fit soundproofing in the local skate park café.
The Streetlight Project is a Christian charity which runs the skate park and community café in Wimborne, which is open to people of all ages. It first opened in 2014, to support and benefit the local community with the aim that people would come together to use the centre. More recently the centre required funding from Talbot Village Trust, the local grant giving charity, to soundproof the café floor as there is a recording studio below the café in the centre. Andy Putt, project director of Streetlight, explained: “We required help from Talbot Village Trust to resolve a sound issue in our cafe, by fitting a soundproof floor and acoustic seal. Since receiving the Trust’s grant and having the new equipment fitted, we can now accommodate more bookings for the private hire of our café. The extra financial support which we have received through more bookings, has allowed the centre to

L-R Ben Applin (Centre Manager), Andy Putt (Project Director) and Vanessa Wassell (Volunteer) become a better resource for the community.” Russell Lucas-Rowe, Trustee of Talbot Village Trust, added: “When we received the grant application for Streetlight we were impressed by the dedication and passion Andy has shown since opening the centre. Andy brought a completely unique concept to Wimborne with the vision to create a hub in the community which will support and benefit young people and their families within the town. “Our grant has been used to enhance the project’s facilities and it is fantastic to see how many people are able to enjoy the centre that encourages fitness and socialisation with others.” Talbot Village Trust meets biannually, and will be accepting applications for funding from both previous and new applicants in the area before the Trustees meet in the autumn of this year.

Pigs: It’s Pannage Time!
During the autumn months, it’s not an uncommon sight to see pigs roaming the forest floor. The reason for this is one of pannage! Pannage is the practice of releasing domestic pigs into a forest (also known as ‘Common of mast’), and goes all the way back to the time of William the Conqueror, who founded The New Forest in 1079. The pigs are released onto the forest to eat fallen acorns, beechmast, chestnuts and other nuts; green acorns in particular are poisonous to the New Forest ponies and cattle which roam the forest the majority of the year. Up to 600 pigs and piglets will work their way through the forest eating the acorns and nuts from the forest floor. It is the only time of year that the pigs are allowed to ‘roam’ the open forest, the rest of the time they are kept in their smallholdings by the commoners. In the 19th century the number of pigs released for pannage was as high as 6,000. Pannage is no longer carried out in many areas of the country but can still be observed every year here in the New Forest National Park. Pannage lasts for a minimum of 60 days and is vital because acorns are poisonous in large quantities to cattle and ponies and can lead to cholic. Pigs however are believed to spit out the toxic skins and enjoy eating the acorns.
You can usually find the pigs roaming the forest floors from around the third week in September, or whenever the acorns begin to drop from the beautiful oak and beech trees. The exact Pannage dates are decided by the New Forest Verderers and the Forestry Commission based on seasonal variations. This years Pannage is due to take place between 10th September 2018 and 11th November 2018. During times of exceptional acorn falls, the pannage season is usually extended by the Verderers. New Forest pigs must also be fitted with a ring through their nose which still enables them to forage through leaf litter and surface vegetation but stops them from rooting into the ground with their snouts causing damage to the Forest. Some of the different breeds of pig that you can find out on the New Forest include: Tamworth, Gloucestershire Old Spot, the British Saddleback and the Wessex Saddleback. There isn’t a specific breed of New Forest pig. During the pannage season also keep a look out for the local artisan bakeries, farm shops and shops that sell piggy-shaped biscuits to celebrate this most ancient of New Forest practices.

Wills, Estate Planning and Lasting Power of Attorneys We discuss legal professionals’ and the benefits of home visits to clients. We are often asked what is the advantage of using a member of the Society of Will Writers and Estate Planning Practitioners (SWW) over a more conventional solicitor? There are many good reasons. Members of SWW are trained specialists in the field of will writing and estate planning. All are fully insured, regulated and adhere to the SWW code of practice. After all if you contracted a serious illness you wouldn’t be treated by your GP you would be referred to a specialist. The same applies when you are deciding how best to manage all the things you have worked so hard for during your lifetime. Will writers also provide clients with convenience by attending them in their own home, more often than not at evenings and weekends when both parties (if a couple) can be available.
The SWW is coming up to its 25th anniversary and has always stressed to its members the importance of dealing with vulnerable, elderly and single clients in their own home. Taking instructions in the privacy and seclusion of the client’s home is not only about convenience. Without such a service many people who need a Will and Lasting Power of Attorney’s would go without if they were housebound, elderly or frail.. As a member of The Society of Will Writers and Estate Planning Practitioners, Dorset Wills has a totally transparent pricing policy. We offer various packages to make the whole process of getting your affairs in order both simple and cost effective. It is estimated that 67 % of people in the UK do not have a Will or Lasting Power of Attorney’s in place. With almost 1 million people living with dementia and the total growing yearly, perhaps now is the time to call Dorset Wills on 01202 065953.
Do you want to protect your family and loved ones? Probably the most important documents you will ever own. Wills & Power of Attorneys - £119.99 each

Bournemouth’s Town Centre BID Introduces Refreshed ‘Bournemouth Brand’ Representing the interests of local businesses, the Bournemouth Town Centre BID has enhanced the image of Bournemouth’s vibrant town centre business community with a new and recognisable logo. Chosen by their board of directors, who themselves are local business owners, the new logo design aims to capture the uniqueness of the local area. The Town Centre BID aims to promote the town centre and increase its competitiveness against other UK destinations. Introducing the refreshed logo and a recognisable brand, the BID has moved away from the previous logo design, which featured the old Bournemouth Balloon. The new logo has been updated to include images of current and iconic town centre structures, ranging from The Triangle to Lansdowne, and to give the organisation a clear and distinct image.
Paul Kinvig, Chief Operating Officer at the Bournemouth Town Centre BID, said: “The newly unveiled Bournemouth Town Centre BID logo highlights the remarkable growth of our town centre, which each year attracts new development projects, more international visitors, a growing number of students and new business ventures both large and small. It also expresses a clear independent identity. We hope you like it!’’ To find out more about the Bournemouth Town Centre BID, visit www.towncentrebid.co.uk.
Plant of the month Marigold
Marigolds are wonderful for the Autumn months, coming in rich colours of maroon, orange and red. They don’t just bloom in Autumn, however, they are also Spring and Summer flowers and are easy to care for (with few insect problems). Although native to Mexico and South America they can be found all over the world and can be planted in clay or sandy soil and prefer full sunlight. Some Marigolds can grow up to five feet tall. There are 50 species of Marigold and some are known for having a lovely aroma and are long-lasting even when cut.

Adventures of Nellie
26
The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Directories Camper Van Hayden went to see Nellie, The Dorset Directories Campervan who had an accident a few months ago. She is now at the Old Van’s Home and like all good Grandparents she was keen to find out what her 14 year old ‘grandson’ had been up to over the summer. Hayden was very excited to tell her… “Well Nellie, I got to interview Red 10 at the Bournemouth Air Show!” He exclaimed with a big grin, nearly as big as Nellie’s silver shine. “I got to do this because I was asked by the Blue Skies Team. Blue Skies is a programme to help young people with their communication and leadership skills organised by the Jon Egging Trust. The Blue Skies Programme has helped me build up my confidence.” Hayden continued, “Before I was shy in asking people things, but now I have more self-confidence to talk to people: even those I don’t know, like Red 10!” The interview went like this… Hayden - What is your role within the Red Arrows Team? Adam (Red 10) - I’m the supervisor of the team. In the winter workout period I am the supervisor of the practices, looking at the display patterns and liaising with the authorities about the displays we are putting together. During the summer display season, I

Hayden and Squadron Leader Adam Collins am on the road with the team flying the spare aircraft and then supervising the displays and commentating about the displays. Hayden - What motivated you to work with the Red Arrows? Adam - It’s a unique opportunity and a unique job that when the opportunity came to apply for it, I couldn’t really turn it down. When the Red 10 job came up it was something that really appealed to me. That is why I am doing it. Hayden - What’s the best thing about being a Red Arrow? Adam - It is such a variety of things that we do. We have had such good weather this year, so we have done lots of full shows. I love meeting the public (like you to be honest) and the commentary. It is an honour to be the face of the RAF and also representing Great Britain when we go overseas. It is a unique job. Hayden - What is most challenging thing about being a Red? Adam - The variety, as we are constantly going from one thing to another. This weekend for example we have 5 or 6 Displays up and down the country so we are on a very tight timeline between displays. We do PR and media bits in between and it is really finding that balance

27 to do everything to the standards that we expect of ourselves, being able to switch from task to task and then to focus on it. It is quite tiring, you just have to manage that carefully, but really the best bits are the hardest bits as well. It really is one of the roles that is unique, you are always working hard, but it is always rewarding. Hayden – What has been your favourite time with the team? Adam – This is my first season so the whole season for me has been amazing and I shadowed my previous predecessor for couple of months last season. But really going to events like this, it is the reaction of the crowd when the jets arrive, and we start the display. It is that feedback from the crowd that is the real buzz. Hayden - What would you say to someone aspiring to be a Red Arrow pilot? Adam - I’d say to them that we all started somewhere. One of the aims of our RAF 100 this year is to inspire the next generation and really with our Shows that is what we are trying to do. All of us at the Red Arrows were at school once. We went to college or university, we did exams, we were doing revision and that kind of thing and it really is a step by step approach to then join the Air Force and go through flying training and ultimately join the Red Arrows, so my message really would be just to work hard and take it one step at a time. We all made it, so there is no reason why anyone else can’t! Hayden – For my last question, what would you say to a young person who is struggling, to be the best they can be? Adam – Really it is that message that we have
The Red Arrows arrive at the Air Festival
all started somewhere, we have all struggled at some point, be it through school or through education or going along through training and flying training. Keep persevering, The Red Arrows all signed a take it one copy of the August edition, which step at a featured them on the cover time and all of sudden through struggling through something it becomes a great success. You are not going to get there instantly, so it is just working your way through it and having the right attitude, working hard and then eventually you will get there. Thank you. Great to meet you! Hayden turned back to Nellie, “Once I interviewed Red 10, I then got interviewed on the interview, by Bournemouth Air TV! It was quite a surprise. It made me really use all the skills I have learned from Blue Skies and I think I did ok, considering I wasn’t warned! Finally, I also got to meet the rest of the Red Arrows and other display teams. “I even had my photo taken with the pretty Wingwalkers (Nellie raised her wiper), as well as the Tiger’s Parachute Display Team from the British Army, Sally B’s pilots, the stunt pilot Rich Goodwin, the Strikemaster Pair and the new Team Raven were all there. How exciting was all that!” Nellie was super impressed with Hayden’s recitings and she hopes you had a great summer too! By Debbie Corney

Tastes so good...
PULLED PORK SANDWICHES
As the temperature drops, we find ourselves wanting more easy to make, comfort food. Not only is this dish simple to create is also tastes delicious. Perfect for quiet Autumn nights in.
Ingredients for 12 servings 1 medium onion (chopped) ½ cup of ketchup ¼ cup of packed brown sugar ¼ cup of tomato paste 2tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 1/3 cup of cider vinegar 2tbp. sweet paprika 1 ½ tsp. Salt 1 ¼ tsp. ground black pepper 4lb boneless pork shoulder 12 buns or ciabatta rolls
Equipment: Large slow-cooker, large bowl, forks Method: Mix together the onion, ketchup, brown sugar, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, paprika, mustard and then add the salt and the pepper. Once you have done this, pour the sauce mixture into the slow cooker pot and add the pork, making sure to also coat it in sauce. Pop the lid on top of the slow cooker and cook the pork. Do this on a low setting (one which the manufacturer recommends). Cook until the pork is tender for between 8-10 hours. When it is finally cooked, move the pork from the slow cooker into a large bowl. Change the temperature setting on the cooker to ‘high’, cover the pot and then cook the sauce. Do this until boiling point is reached to make the mixture thicker. Pull the pork apart into shreds (you can use 2 forks for this). Then put the shredded pork back into the slow cooker, mixing it into the sauce. Cover once again and cook on high. Finally, once warmed through, spoon mixture into buns and serve.

Gardening Tips
a beginner’s
GUIDE Ponds
If you are lucky enough to have a pond, large or small, at this time of year check all the pond plants and remove all dead and dying growth.
If you have a pump to run a fountain or waterfall, now is the time to clean and service it and store it until Spring. Feed the fish before Winter hibernation.
Cover the pond with netting to stop leaves from falling into the water and sinking to the bottom. Too much rotting vegetation in the water will create methane gas to the detriment of fish and other wildlife as well as a disgusting, smelly layer of sludge in the bottom that you will have to deal with, sooner or later!
If we have a severe winter, be ready to cover the pond completely during really freezing weather, or at least try to ensure fish can get oxygen by keeping a small area ice-free by using a ball or floating bowl. If the pond is covered with a sheet of ice, pour boiling water into the bowl until it can be lifted out.
In early Autumn, if you have clumps of marginal and bog plants, they can be divided and cut back the leaves of waterside plants.
Having said all that, I've actually seen goldfish frozen in solid ice for weeks, only to start swimming around perfectly happily when they thawed out - so what do I know?!
