Welcome...

Local Debt Charity: “A Poverty Secret Can Be A Killer” THE ISOLATION and loneliness of living with a ‘poverty secret’ can be a killer, that’s the warning from a free East Dorset debt counselling service.
community, they’re social beings, and the long term damage of living with loneliness can be as bad for your health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day”
The warning comes from Pam Ansell, who manages the East Dorset Christians Against Poverty (CAP) Debt Centre, after the charity published new research about effects of debt in the UK.
She said that the common reasons for debt include low income, relationship breakdown, joblessness, problems with benefits, illness and bereavement. The East Dorset CAP Debt Centre visits every client in their own home, working with each until they become debt free, while CAP’s head office specialists negotiate with creditors, create a budget and provide ongoing technical support.
Pam said: “It’s a twenty first century parable really. There are hundreds, possibly thousands, of people in Dorset, living in isolation with a poverty secret. The sad truth is they may live in the same street as us, but they’re suffering from extreme loneliness because of their debts.” “It means that they can’t provide for their children, don’t have enough food to eat or can’t heat their home. Tragically, it even makes some of them consider taking their own lives.”
Pam said: “If your finances are out of control, please give us a call today and let us help you get your life back on track.” To find out more, visit capuk.org or call 0800 328 0006
She added that CAP’s Client Report, published last month, found that almost a third of its clients considered taking their own life because of debt. The report also found that almost four in ten were afraid to leave their homes, three quarters were afraid to answer the telephone and eighty per cent were scared to open their post. Pam said: “People are created for

Wildlife News
Talking about Wildlife...
Summer wildlife
At Dorset Wildlife Trust we know summer is here with the arrival of the little terns and the barn owl chicks. Some of nature’s most exciting displays are about to start… At Lorton Meadows Nature Reserve in Weymouth, the barn owls have already started to rear their chicks. At the time of writing, 5 of 7 eggs have hatched and under the careful watch of their parents, are thriving. Barn owls have been roosting in the box which is specially built into the Lorton Meadows Conservation Centre, since 2010. Last year, we had the most amount of chicks fledge ever (five!), and this year is already looking promising. All this is despite the decline of barn owls nationally. The Lorton Meadows Nature Reserve, which the barn owls hunt for voles and other prey on, seems to have plentiful food stocks. Lack of habitat and nesting space are the main challenges for barn owls, so it’s great that our nature reserve can provide both for these majestic creatures. Watch them live on our webcam, sponsored by Dorset Tea, at www. dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/raptorcam. Over at Chesil, the little tern project is in full swing, with the first egg appearing on 20th May, nestled in the iconic pebbles of Chesil Beach.

birds arrive in Dorset, migrating from Africa for the summer, to breed on the beach, which is the South West’s only colony. Last year, they broke records with breeding numbers, and despite their numbers dropping to their lowest in 1997, careful management of the habitat by volunteers has ensured their continued survival and growing numbers. Little terns are the smallest of the UK terns and are a fast flying graceful little bird with a black cap on their head and a yellow bill with a black tip. You’ll hear them before you see them – with their distinctive ‘creeking’ call. They are ground nesting birds, so the Chesil little tern project, led by RSPB, concentrates on protecting the colony from predators and reducing disturbance. Before the birds arrive, an electric fence is put up around the colony, and a hide is constructed for the wardens and volunteers to monitor the birds 24 hours a day, and scare off any avian predators. The Fine Foundation Chesil Beach Centre has a viewing platform to view these birds, who are hunting for fish in the fleet lagoon. Bring your binoculars! You can also keep track on Twitter (@Little_ tern17) for the latest little tern news. www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk By Sally Welbourn

George Augustus Place George Augustus Place was born in Hampreston and in 1838 became a medical officer for Wimborne and Cranborne Union Workhouse. Mr Place was there for five months before resigning on the 6 August. At the time smallpox was spreading in the workhouse due to poor conditions. Also there weren’t many nurses employed there, so smallpox was going undiagnosed and untreated. In 1839 a poster was published about smallpox in the workhouse. Mr Place had contacted The Times newspaper, who criticised the situation in the workhouse.
Opening times: 2 Jan-31 Mar and 1 Nov-22 Dec 2018, Mon-Sat 10am-4pm 1 Apr-31 Oct 2018, Mon-Sat 10am-4.30pm

As a result enquiries were made but Mr Place was not satisfied with the findings. He felt that the results left out important information.

He hoped the poor would benefit from his actions in drawing attention to the shortcomings of the workhouse and the Poor Law.

Stan The Man’s final race raises nearly £9,000 for local hospice A family from Poole have raised nearly £9,000 for Forest Holme Hospice at a recent Banger Racing event at Matchams near Ringwood. The Stanley family, who live on Alder Hills, organised the ‘Pete Stanley – One Last Time Retirement Meeting’ in May to celebrate the end of Dad Pete’s 45 years of racing. The brainchild of 23-year-old daughter, SammyJo, Pete only agreed to the event if they could use it to raise money for Forest Holme Hospice. Sammy-Jo, explains, “Dad isn’t one for enjoying any attention so his initial reaction to the idea of a retirement meeting was just as I expected. However, a couple of weeks later he said, ‘you know that retirement meeting, maybe we could do it but I want it to go to charity.’ Before he had a chance to change his mind, I set about organising a big old meeting full of crashes and handshakes to mark his retirement.” “Through blood, sweat, tears and constant phone calls”, Sammie Jo, continues, “I started to piece together an event which included all Pete’s wishes, from his favourite drivers, to his style of racing and then, of course, picking a charity very close to his heart.” Forest Holme Hospice in Poole provides end-of-life care and support to more than 1,000 people each year with advanced cancer and other life-limiting illnesses across Poole, Wimborne and the Isle of Purbeck. The hospice, which needs to raise £850,000 this year, was chosen by the Stanley family as they had provided care, support and counselling when Sammy-Jo’s Nan was ill and when Mum, Linda, had a cancer diagnosis. Sammy-Jo, recalls, “Forest Holme
hospice means a lot to me because it helped at a time when I felt alone and struggled to cope. Their kind staff were there every step of the way supporting me and my family.” Paul Tucker, Fundraising and Communications Manager at Forest Holme Hospice Charity, said, “Words can’t describe how grateful we are for this incredible donation which will help us to continue enhancing the quality of life for our patients and their families. Sammy-Jo has worked so hard to make this event happen and I’m sure her dad, Pete, is very proud of what she has achieved. Every little detail was thought of, from Forest Holme logos on all the rosettes to regular tannoy announcements at the event promoting the charity.” The all-day event, which attracted thousands of visitors, featured ten races with a total of 104 cars involved, including Pete’s very own ‘Stan The Man’ Jaguar XJ6 Series 3 built with Sammy-Jo. She said, “So for one last time, our workshop booming with laughter and full of people all keen to help, we built the final car my Dad himself will ever race. He’s done a great run, so I think he’s welcome to his retirement!”

Parenting after Parting
Creating a positive home environment
About 240,000 children each year in the UK experience the separation of their parents. When their parents split up, these children can react in different ways. Some will be hurt and upset, even angry with their parents or themselves. How children react to the separation of their parents can often depend on their age and different developmental stages:
and encouraging a young child to talk about their feelings is important. 10 to 12 years old – Pre-teens often view the world as ‘black and white’. Whilst they might think they know what is right and wrong, they often still lack emotional maturity. Therefore, they are more likely to take sides with one parent and possibly feel the need to take care of a parent. Parents should take steps to ensure

Durlston Court School Sponsor Schools Gardening Competition We are delighted to announce Durlston Court School are sponsoring our our Schools Gardening Competition in the Flower and Gardening Show at this year’s New Forest Show. We are keen to involve the younger generation in all aspects of the Show and to this end, we would like to invite local schools to take part in a gardening competition to be displayed within the Flower & Gardening Marquee in July. The competition involves a class or year group planting up two decorative window box planters with either flowering plants, decorative nonflowering plants, vegetables or salad plants. The plastic containers could also be decorated to add an attractive visual impact to the display. We would also encourage the children to keep a diary of how the planter grows and what actions they have taken, a group photo of the children involved could also be submitted and this would all be displayed alongside the exhibit within the marquee.
to be delivered to the Showground by Sunday 22nd July in order that we may create an exhibit within the Flower & Gardening Marquee. The planters will then be judged and will remain on display for the duration of the Show. There will be a trophy for the winning school, along with rosettes and certificates for the other participants. If you would like to take part in this competition, please contact our Flower Show Chairman, John Penney: wilverley@btconnect.com or 01425 612570 This project was a great success last year and we are looking to build upon it further for 2018.
If the children are able to, we would encourage them to incorporate ‘Celebrating Country Life’ into the theme of the planters. The New Forest Show would supply the containers and compost required for the display and the planters would need

Nuffield Health launches new diagnostic cardiac service Self-referral cardiac assessment service now available to Dorset residents. Nuffield Health Bournemouth Hospital has launched a new ‘much-needed’ cardiac assessment service, which has the facilities to identify undiagnosed heart conditions. Nuffield Health’s new cardiac assessment service launched this month at the Bournemouth hospital and is available to all. The facility will provide a thorough look at an individual’s heart using state-of-the-art machinery to help detect undiagnosed heart conditions. The assessment service is aimed at those who might be worried about genetic conditions or are interested in receiving a health assessment of their heart. Suneel Talwar, Cardiologist at Nuffield Health Bournemouth, said: “This is a muchneeded facility as some heart conditions do not present with symptoms. Regardless of
your age or physical capabilities, it may be beneficial to get your heart health checked as many conditions can go undiagnosed until it’s too late. “If there are cases of heart issues in your family, it may be beneficial to seek a health assessment sooner rather than later so that if there are early signs of a heart condition we can give you the medical guidance needed in order to lead a healthy life.” Those who are worried about their heart health are guaranteed to get an appointment within two weeks at convenient hours. During the appointment a cardiologist will provide a full assessment with some results given on the day, and others to quickly follow. For more information or to book an appointment at Nuffield Health Bournemouth Hospital you can call 01202 375032.

Adventures of Nellie

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Publications Camper Van The isle of Anglesey off the north coast of Wales. Many a good holiday was spent there as a child, so you can only imagine Nellie’s excitement when Stephen’s sister and Dad booked a week there for all of us last month. Driving towards our destination, Nellie was full of nostalgia and fond memories of times gone by. Betws-y-Coed where we met friends years and years ago, Swallow Falls, the low hanging clouds over the mountains, Llyn (Lake) Ogwen and finally we arrived at the shallow tidal waters of the famous Menai Straits which separates Anglesey from the mainland. Nellie danced across the Bridge and there we were on the island. Alan, Stephen’s father is a member of the prestigious “Holiday Property Bond” and we were booked into wonderful cottages overlooking the rolling green golf course at Henllys near Beaumaris, with magnificent views of Snowdonia in the background. Idyllic. Henllys used to be a Franciscan Friary and there is a quiet spot with statues, trees and greenery in commemoration of this. The rest of the magnificent house and grounds now provide stylish Enjoying a “rib-roaring” boat trip to Puffin Island
Nellie enjoys the secluded coves cottages and apartments for those who are investors within the scheme. Nellie was thrilled. Being on a golf course was a great excuse for Stephen to bring out those dusty clubs! It is a while since he has played (must be all that responsibility and hard work he is having to do), so Nellie persuaded him to have a go. Off he went, in a buggy of course, with his uncle David. The were both in complete contentment as they swung those clubs and drove off to find those balls. Uncle David, who does play much more often, shot a birdie (We did explain to Nellie that no birds were hurt in this action…) on hole number 15 and Stephen, well he did not lose ALL of his balls (now now Nellie) and was in fact very happy with his game. Both came back with big smiles and Uncle David unfortunately, also with sore knees. Nellie totally understands! Penmon Point was a favourite of ours in the past. Dad fishing off the rocks, while Mum worried about Sue and I falling on the rocks with waves crashing around us as we ran across to see if Dad had caught anything. The coastline seemed very different this time but maybe it was

39 my imagination? After all, dare I say it is nearly 40 years since we were regularly there! Oh my word how time flies. Puffin Island just off the shore “in those days” was literally that, full of puffins! Now there are around 200 pairs apparently, which is better as they had dwindled down to much less. The good news is that they are on there way up again. Knowing this, we decided to take a boat out to see for ourselves. There are many boats that go out from Beaumaris. We chose a Rib Ride with Seacoast Safaris! Nellie likes excitement and she chose well as Hayden loved it! The young man piloting was very proficient and literally took us for a spin. As a member of RNLI he was well trained and we felt totally safe as he spun the boat in circles before speeding up and chasing the ebbing tide out to Puffin Island. What a thrill! We saw grey seals bobbing up and down, guillemots, kittiwakes, cormorants, razorbills, eider ducks and ONE puffin! The skipper steered us carefully into the cave, smiling while telling us it was a good idea to put our hoods up! Those birds have no manners… It was a great trip and thoroughly recommended if you are ever on Anglesey. Beaches are another must on the island. As a child ‘Me and Dad’ picked winkles
off the rocks at Trearddur Bay and cooked them to eat many a good night. Trearddur Bay had been hit by a bad storm ten years ago and now has a smart new walkway right across the sands. Again, a sign of changing times. Alan and Rachel, Stephen’s dad and sister, love walking and were out each morning by 8am to take in the sites with plenty to see over the 276 square miles that the island occupies. Nellie let us rest, though I think she would have liked to skip along the cliff tops. We did take a walk along the coastal path from Lligwy Beach to Moelfre on a wonderfully sunny day. The ice-cream and coffee were a welcome find at Moelfre before setting off back again to Lligwy beach for a picnic lunch and an afternoon snooze. Nellie likes those! Nellie really enjoyed her stay at Henllys with its full-sized snooker table, huge outdoor chess set, bar billiards, air hockey, table tennis, sauna, steam bath and swimming pool. We certainly were not short of entertainment! The drive home was interesting as you will hear about soon… Anglesey is a wonderful island and if you have never visited there are scores of things to do. Enjoy! By Debbie Corney

Gardening Tips
a beginner’s
GUIDE Runner Beans
It’s not too late to plant runner beans. My Grandfather always put them in on Whit Sunday, never before, probably because the plants don’t like frost. For the cost of a packet of seeds you’ll get a continuous crop of lovely fresh runners for a month or so, and they freeze really well. Push a bean into a small pot of multi purpose compost and keep it moist. Within a couple of weeks they should start to grow and when you have some sturdy plants with 2 or 3 pairs of leaves they can be planted out in the garden or in deep troughs. If you have a vegetable patch or enough room, construct a wigwam of tall canes (about 6-8 feet) or a
row of crossed canes or even netting for them to grow up. They could even be added to flower beds to give a bit of height as long as they have something to climb up. Next to each cane, dig a hole with a trowel—add some garden compost if you have some or even a layer of newspaper (to hold the moisture) and carefully transplant the bean plants without disturbing the roots too much. Water well and keep them moist in dry spells, especially when the flower buds appear and the pods are beginning to set. Happy harvesting - and don’t forget to leave some pods on the plants to dry out and provide you with a fresh new batch of seeds for next year!
