Welcome to the March issue of Community Spotlight on S66.Spring is one of my favourite times of year. We see Trees begin to bloom, �owers sprouting and all the vast variety of colours in the �elds.

We also begin to start thinking about Easter. No matter what this season means to you and yours I want to wish you a “Happy Easter”. Why not have a think this year as you tuck into all your chocolate just what Easter is all about.

I’ve had even more positive feedback from readers and advertisers about Spotlight. We’re almost 1 year old and, now more than ever I want to see our communities coming together and connecting with each other.

SPOT LIGHT On Bramley Parish Council


New Vice ChairmanCllr Dennis Hardwick is the new vice chairman of Bramley Parish Council. Cllr Hardwick takes over from Cllr Sayner who had been vice chairman for a number of years. The parish council would like to express its thanks to Cllr Sayner for his years in o�ce and wish Cllr Hardwick all the best in his new role. Bramley CemeteryDue to vehicles entering the cemetery after dark the Parish Council has taken the decision to lock the cemetery gates at dusk.As from 1st March 2012 the gates will be locked at dusk and opened at 8am each morning. This decision has been taken to ensure the dignity of the cemetery and we hope visitors to the cemetery will support this action. Skate ParkA few months ago a group of young people asked the Parish Council if there was any chance of a skate park in Bramley. Following this approach a meeting was arranged by Cllr Caress at the youth club and approximately 12 young people attended.From this meeting a committee has been formed which has a chairman, secretary and a treasurer and ten other members. This committee is working with Bramley Parish Council, RMBC, Groundworks Dearne Valley and South Yorkshire Police SNT team. The committee meets every two weeks at the youth club.Bramley PC has funded the production of plans for the skate park and draft plans have been submitted to the group. Also a funding application has been submitted towards the cost of the project, the parish council hopes that all costs will be covered by funding.This project has brought the young people of the area into a working group with other agencies and is proving to be very useful for all concerned. Details of the project from Cllr Caress tel 07595 604144. Community GardenWork on the garden will be starting very soon. Last year we were late in getting the project up and running, and we want to develop the community involvement in this project.

Five Ways to Get Kids ActiveBy Debbie Singh-Bhatti

Around 30% of British children are overweight, due primarily to an unhealthy diet and not enough exercise. Experts state that children should engage in 60 minutes of physical activity each day, and encouraging them to become more active now will help them maintain a healthy weight, improve their general �tness and wellbeing and reduce the risks of serious health problems in the future.

Following are �ve suggestions to help kids get more active.

1) Walk to school. Often our kids’ lack of activity is due to OUR busy lifestyle. Factor an extra half hour or so walking to school and back into your daily routine.

2) Give them chores. Doing a bit of housework

or walking up and down stairs a few times will get the cardiovascular muscles working.

3) Limit the amount of time spent on the TV or computer. This will free up more time to engage in other more physical activities.

4) Buy them sports equipment like a ball, racquet or bike for birthdays, instead of toys or sedentary games. This will get them up and moving!

5) Exercise with them! Go swimming, cycle or do some gardening together.

If you incorporate physical activity into your normal routine, you are more likely to keep it up. Good luck!

SPOT LIGHT On April Fool! & Five Ways to Get Kids Active


April Fool!The origins of April Fools’ Day seems to be lost in time but like many traditions probably has a number of historical roots.There was certainly a Roman festival called hilaria around that time of year, to celebrate the vernal equinox.

The most popular theory about ‘modern’ April Fools’ Day is that it began to take shape in late 16th century France. At that time, there was a switch to the Gregorian Calendar under Charles IX. Prior to this there had been a New Year’s week (March 25th-April1st) , and under the Gregorian system, New year’s Day fell on January 1st.

As with any change there was some resistance, and many people stubbornly

refused to accept the new system, continuing to celebrate New Year on April 1st.

These people were ridiculed and labelled ‘fools’ by the general populace and were often the butt of jokes and pranks. They were known as poisson d’avril, or April �sh, possibly because a naïve young �sh is easily caught.

Over the years the custom of prank-playing spread to the general population and eventually to Britain, where schoolboy pranks are still the order of the day. Watch out!

SPOT LIGHT On April Is National Pet Month

April Is National Pet MonthI have a lovely photo of my mum from the 1960’s, hugging tight her pet mongrel, Sally. She loved that dog, treated her like one of the family and was devastated when she �nally had to be put to sleep due to the e�ects of old age. Now su�ering from old age herself, mum can no longer care for a dog but still enjoys the companionship of her pet budgie Bernard, who gets to hear about her day and always chirrups back in reply.

Pets can play a key role in a person’s life, providing companionship, a�ection and even protection. Children who keep a pet get the opportunity to learn how to love, care about and be responsible for another living creature. Caring for their pet helps in the development of self discipline. They say that a dog is a man’s best friend and never is this truer than in the case of working and assistance companion animals. Chosen for their social nature, dogs work closely with people in a variety of roles including law enforcement, search and rescue, and farming. As assistance animals, dogs provide help for the visually and hearing impaired, serve as an alert system for impending seizures, and o�er additional strength and mobility for the physically disabled. Dogs also provide comfort for some people su�ering emotional di�culties.

As a child I remember the Blue Peter team showing me and thousands of others how to prepare my tortoise for hibernation during the winter months. Nowadays there are a myriad of professional services available to help us care for our precious pets. From pet sitting to micro-chipping, there is

somebody out there who can do it all!

Starting 7th April is National Pet Month, an annual event that brings together pet lovers, animal welfare charities, professional bodies and pet businesses. Throughout the UK until 7th May fun-�lled events are being held to help improve the welfare of pets. If you’d like to take part, visit www.nationalpetmonth.org.uk for further details.

CHARTERED SUCESS

We are sorry we missed you in the last edition of Community Spotlight but what with Father Christmas and his sleigh we were kept extremely busy, so a big Thank You Thank You Thank You to you all who put something in our buckets when we came visiting.

January saw us receive our Charter where Vice Presidents, District Governors past and current, District O�cers, Club Presidents, wives, partners, children all gathered together at the Consort hotel for a truly fantastic luncheon to see the �rst club for many years to be presented with their frame of honour. Guests were amazed at the fantastic ra�e prizes that included a lead crystal decanter with matching glasses and enough bottles to start a small o�-license. Thank You to everyone who donated a prize as we raised more than £350.

Our membership is going from strength to strength where Lion Lee became our 25th and proudest member. Our aim is to welcome our 30th member by Easter so if you are interested then we meet on the �rst and last Thursday of each month at the Three Horseshoes pub at Wickersley at 8.00pm and remember we only come to have FUN.

Also in January Lion Les worked his magic once again and went on his bi-yearly missionary visit to Gambia to deliver thousands of pairs of shoes to the needy youngsters who have to walk everywhere in bare feet in the scorching heat . Manchester airport was left hopping mad as suitcase after suitcase crammed pack full of shoes of all sizes, styles and colours were put on the scales as queues built up behind. Once at the other side they were loaded onto an awaiting 4x4 for the long drive for them to be delivered by hand, the delights on the children’s faces said it all.We are hard at it as I write this as our Lions District Convention takes place this Valentine’s weekend as Clubs from all over Yorkshire, Derbyshire and North Lincolnshire gather together to discuss and share new ideas for helping needy people. With us being the newest and now also one of the largest clubs I think we’ll be dominating this Convention as we take over the car park.

Welfare requests are now rolling in and we are now proud to be a part of the community we serve. We are here to o�er our help and services

Bramley and Wickersley Lions Clubwherever it is needed. If you, or anyone you know, is in need or di�culty PLEASE contact us on 07505 914 080 as we are here to help. All communications are treated with absolute con�dentiality.

So what are we up to in the coming months? Well we are planning another Awareness day at Morrisons supermarket in March where you can pick up your free lifesaver “Message in a bottle” (M.I.A.B.) which is a simple white plastic bottle containing a form where you place vital information about yourself which will help to save your life. The emergency services are trained to look out for our unique M.I.A.B. so pop along and pick up two, one for you and one for your friend.

We are always looking for new ways /ideas for fundraising so if have any thoughts / suggestions or are holding a fete / gala please get in touch as we would like to get involved.

Finally, keep looking at our website www.bwlions.org.uk where you’ll �nd fantastic information about us and what we are up to and you’ll be able to download our latest newsletter. Looking forward to meeting you all at Morrisons.Bramley and Wickersley Lions Club.

SPOT LIGHT On Garden View & Foot NotesGarden ViewCaring for garden toolsAs spring begins it’s time to take stock of our garden tools. Ideally these should have been cleaned, sharpened, polished and carefully stored at the start of winter. If they were you can pat yourself on the back and skip this month’s advice. Still with us? Oh dear, then you need some help. Tools which are badly stored may develop all manner of problems during their enforced rest period.First check electric power tools. Are the plugs and �exes in good, safe working order? If not, have them professionally repaired or replaced. Clean o� any dust, then spray the metal surfaces of the tools with some general purpose oil. Turn the tool on so that the oil is worked into all those hard-to-reach areas. If your mower is petrol-driven the spark-plugs should have been disconnected when the mowing season �nished. If it takes unleaded petrol, then this loses ignition quality over time so ideally should have been siphoned o� or run down at that point too. If you didn’t do this, then you’ll need to check the spark plugs and fuel, but before you do that, use a sti� brush to remove all the dust and old grass. You will then need to apply some grease to the height adjusters, turning them to work it through preventing them from seizing-up. Check the throttle and clutch cables for wear and tear, and oil them, then clean any dust and dry grass out of the air �lter. Check the blades, if they are very blunt or damaged, they will need to be replaced or

sharpened professionally. Electric mowers should have their cable checked, their plastic cover checked, and then be up-ended and any caked grass or dirt cleaned o� with a sti� brush. Sharpen or replace the blades.Take a good look at your hand tools. Are shovels, forks and trowels looking sharp and clean? Most of us don’t care enough for these hard-working implements and then wonder why they don’t work well.Find a large bucket and �ll it with about 2.5 kilos of rough builders’ sand and a litre of general purpose oil. Mix it all together until the sand is thoroughly moist.Clean any dried-on soil or rust o� the tools using a sti� wire brush, then plunge them into the oily sand and leave them for a day or two. Remove and rub them with a rough cloth. Finally, sharpen the cutting edges with a �ne metal �le or sharpening stone. Some DIY stores o�er this service if you don’t feel con�dent yourself.Bare wooden handles can be returned to smoothness if you give them a good rub with linseed oil. They’ll be much more comfortable on your hands if you do this.Finally, remember...all of this should have been done before the winter. With this new-found knowledge we can be better prepared in 2012!


Foot NotesWhat is the di�erence between a Chiropodist and a Podiatrist?There is no di�erence. Podiatrist is the internationally accepted term, but both have the same quali�cations and both need to be registered with the Health Professions Council.

What does a chiropodist/podiatrist do?They treat and advise on all matters relating to feet. Most people think of ingrown toenails, but they also treat Athlete’s foot, fungal nail infections, corns, verrucae and cracked heels.

What about foot pain?Yes, a good Chiropodist will be able to advise, diagnose and provide a treatment plan for biomechanical problems of the feet as well as bunions and toe deformities.

I su�er with smelly, sweaty feet. Could a Chiropodist help me?Absolutely. In some people the sweat glands of the feet are over active, producing more sweat than they should. Some people also have greater than normal amounts of bacteria on their skin and it is the reaction of the bacteria with the sweat which causes the unpleasant odour. A

chiropodist will be able to advise on footwear, foot hygiene and any sprays or creams which might help.

Care HomesHow to choose the right one

Care of the elderly is an emotive subject. Whether you are choosing a care home for yourself, or searching on behalf of an elderly relative, you want to make sure you get it right.

First you need to decide on the level of care required.

Residential homes are for people who can no longer cope with daily activities in their home. They may also need help washing, bathing, dressing and going to the toilet.

Nursing homes are for those people who require regular nursing care, by or under the supervision of a quali�ed nurse. Residents tend to have no mobility or severely limited mobility, mental confusion, and may be faecally incontinent.

As with any home, location is important. You may want to choose a place where family or friends can visit regularly?Once a location has been decided on, select as many care homes as you can and visit every one of them. The Care Quality Commission (www.cqc.org.uk) have over 18000 care homes registered with them and publish all their inspection reports online, so this is a good place to start. Two other excellent sources of information are the websites www.yourcarehome.co.uk and www.carehomesupport.co.uk.

Groundwork is good, but there is no substitute for visiting and assessing the standard of service yourself. Begin your inspection by ringing to arrange appointments to visit the premises. Ask yourself if the phone was answered in a friendly way. Did the person answering the phone sound stressed or abrupt?When you visit, what are your �rst

impressions? Is the place bright and clean, comfortable, welcoming and airy? Did the receptionist make eye contact and smile? Were you o�ered a cup of tea while you waited?What are the noise levels like? Are there any unpleasant odours? Look at the residents and chat to them if you can. Do they look clean, well-cared for and happy?

Monitor how much interaction there is between the sta� and the residents. Is there lots of friendly chatter? Check to see if call lights over doors are on and being left unanswered. This might indicate sta�ng problems.Check the �oor, especially in corners and under beds. This is a good indicator of whether standards of hygiene and care are high throughout.

When you’ve reached a decision, take good �nancial and legal advice. What are the fees and what do they include? Can you a�ord them on a long-term basis? What happens if funds dry up? What is the protocol for making a complaint? Consult the O�ce of Fair Trading ‘Fair Terms for Care’ booklet to see whether the contract you’ll be asked to sign is a fair one.

Ask as many questions as you can up front, and you will help ensure that any move you or your elderly relative makes will be the right one.

Going SolarShould you?

Since April 2010 when the government announced massive new incentives for making the switch, there has been a huge surge in the solar power industry, but recent changes to this incentive scheme (e�ective 12 December) demand the question, “Is it worth it?”

Solar panel electricity systems, also known as solar photovoltaics (PV) consist of small solar cells wired together to form larger panels. These panels are �tted to roofs at least 10m2 in size which ideally face southeast to southwest. Although direction is not critical, the amount of electricity produced will depend upon the amount of sunlight received.

The solar cells capture the sun’s energy and convert it to electricity which can be used in the home for lighting and to run household appliances. It is estimated that a solar installation could meet around 40-50% of a household’s annual electricity consumption.

Electricity can only be generated during daylight hours,and as it cannot be stored, it must also be used during the day. When it is not possible to generate your own electricity, for example when it is dark, electricity is supplied by your utility company at a reduced charge.

Under the government’s Feed In Tari� (FIT), any electricity produced and used by the householder is free and the excess is sold to the national grid where it is bought by utility companies for supply to other consumers. In addition to the savings and potential earnings already outlined, you also get paid for generating the electricity in the �rst

place.

Although there is still money to be earned by switching to solar, the amount is substantially less than it was before the recent changes, so the cost of installation needs to be taken into consideration to determine whether or not it is a �nancially sound investment. The current cost for a typical solar system is around £11,000, and the estimated earnings over a 25 year period are around £13,750 – making a total gain of almost £3,000.

Advice on the Money Saving Expert website suggests that unless you are able to pay outright for the installation of the panels, the cost of a loan or credit could dwarf,or possibly even wipe out,any savings made, so the decision to switch to solar should be made very carefully.

Of course, there are other issues at stake here. It’s not all about money! By going solar, you will be using a free and renewable source of energy which doesn't release any harmful carbon dioxide or other pollutants. By reducing your personal carbon footprint you will be helping to ensure that the planet will still be here for your grandchildren and their children to enjoy in years to come!

Soda Bread - Quick to make and tastes great with butter, jam and a cup of tea.

Ingredients• olive oil or lard, for greasing• 250g/9oz plain flour• 1 level tsp salt• 1 level tsp bicarbonate of soda• 2 tsp soft brown sugar• 225ml/8fl oz buttermilk or live yoghurt

MethodHeat the oven to 230C / Gas 8. Grease a baking sheet with a little oil.

Sift the �our, salt and soda into the mixing bowl and add the sugar.

Stir in the buttermilk or yoghurt, at �rst with a wooden spoon, then bringing it all together in a doughy mass with your hands. It should feel soft and �rm, not sticky. Add a little more �our if the mixture is too wet.

Knead the dough lightly in the bowl for about half a minute, until smooth, and then shape it into a ball, as deep as you can make it. Place it on the greased baking sheet. Slash a deep cross in the top of the loaf with a sharp knife. This will allow the bread to open out as the soda starts to work and expand the dough.

Bake in the oven for about 12 minutes, and then turn the oven down to 200C/400F/Gas 6 and cook for another 15-20 minutes, until the base of the bread sounds hollow when you tap it.

Allow the bread to cool for 15 minutes, then cut it into thick slices and serve.

SPOT LIGHT On What’s Your BMI?


What’s Your BMI?And does it matter?

Many years ago my mum joined a well known slimming club, and after several months was within three pounds of achieving the target weight the club had set for her, but try as she might, she just could not shift those last few pounds. After several disheartening weeks she �nally gave up trying and eventually regained all the weight she had worked so hard to lose.

This wouldn’t happen nowadays. Modern slimming clubs rarely dictate end weights and are more likely to invite you to set your own targets, although they will encourage you to choose a weight that is within a healthy range. But who decides what a healthy weight is, and does one size �t all? Since the 1970’s, health professionals have calculated a person’s BMI – or body mass index – as a guide to determining their “fatness”. Body mass index is calculated by dividing a person’s body weight by the square of their height, and universally the calculation is made by dividing kilograms by metres squared. So, if a person weighs 80 kilograms and is 1.8 metres tall, �rst square their height (1.8 x 1.8 = 3.24) and then divide this into their weight. Thus 80 divided by 3.24 gives a BMI of 24.7.

Once armed with this information, what do you do with it? Health professionals suggest that a person’s BMI should fall between 20 and 25 to be classed as healthy. If it is below 20 you would be considered underweight and anything above 25 would be

classed as overweight, with obesity setting in at a BMI of 30 and morbid obesity at 35 or more.

Although a person’s BMI is a useful way of determining if they are at a healthy weight or not, it should be used with caution. Several factors can distort the results and render the BMI meaningless. For example, it is not appropriate for the very young, nor the very old and the excessively tall. Similarly, athletes and others with high muscle mass may appear abnormally overweight.

At 5 feet 5 inches (1.65 m) tall and based on a BMI of 20-25, a healthy weight for my mum is between 8st 3lbs (53 kg) and 10st 5lbs (68 kg). The elusive target weight she couldn’t quite manage was 9st 13lbs (65 kg) – well within her healthy BMI range. What a shame this information wasn’t around all those years ago!

SPOT LIGHT On A Good Read & Puzzle Solutions


Room – Emma DonoghueJack is 5. He lives with Ma, in Room, with Bed and Rug and Lamp and Rocker. Each day has its own routine: they wake, they have breakfast, they play games, they watch TV – but not too much or their brains will rot. In the eleven square feet of Room, they do Phys Ed and eat and draw and bathe and do laundry – the everyday tasks

of mother and child. Then, at night, Jack has to climb into Wardrobe to sleep, because Old Nick might be coming....At �rst, Jack’s artless narration is puzzling, but it soon becomes clear that he has no concept of a world outside of Room – everything beyond is Outer Space, and everyday things like dogs and stores are just TV. The reader, however, realises that Jack and his Ma are prisoners, and that Old Nick’s visits are sinister rather than benevolent. Emma Donoghue’s seventh novel was controversial even before it was nominated for the Booker Prize in 2010. She denies that ‘Room’ is based on the case of Josef Fritzl, saying instead that it was ‘triggered’ by it. And certainly, there is no concentration on the Fritzl �gure of Old Nick – Jack is the centre of the book, and his relationship with his Ma is what Donoghue explores. The bond between them is �erce, touching and above all realistic: they love each other beyond all measure, but also get frustrated and angry too – and as the novel moves out of the con�nes of Room, their relationship is tested still further.Jack’s narration is sharp and funny, bewildered and sad by turns, but it is always convincing. Small details like his reaction to the arrival of a mouse in Room – a real living creature – or the importance of using Meltedy Spoon to eat cereal, are told with the real intensity of a �ve year old. We see his Ma through his eyes, but begin to understand more than

he can about her pain and her strength. The novel is beautifully structured, and while it is a page turner on �rst reading, it merits a second, more in-depth study. It is not a horror story or a voyeuristic take on real events – instead, it is a quiet, thoughtful portrayal of the love between a parent and a child.

It Was A Dark and Stormy Night – Janet and Allan AhlbergIt was a dark and stormy night, and in a cave in the mountains, a little boy called Antonio is telling a story to the brigands who have captured him. The trouble is, they keep interrupting – especially the Chief – and so the story takes a number of surprising turns: killer parrots, treasure, Neapolitan ice cream and a Thingy in the moat, for example. Antonio, however, is made of stern stu�, and he is able to respond to anything that is thrown at him – which is more than can be said for the brigands...From the beginning, we know that Antonio will make it home to his mother and father and �ve little sisters. But quite how he does it is what makes us read on – and no-one, not even Higgins the English brigand, could predict what happens.As you may expect from the Ahlbergs, this book is funny, clever, gripping and beautifully illustrated. A slightly longer and more complex read than some of their better known works, it is ideal for readers who not only want the comfort of pictures, but also a good deal of text too – a halfway house between picture books and chapter stories. There are plenty of jokes for parents, too, so whether you are reading or being read to, a smile is guaranteed. Destined to become a family favourite, this is a must for �ve year olds everywhere.
