Protecting Your Staff, Premises & Stock

Crimes committed against a business can result not only in high costs associated with damages and losses, but also costs related with disruption of your business. With the economy tightening, the winter months and dark nights drawing in, all businesses should be cautious and alert. They should take necessary measures to ensure the security and safety of their staff and premises. See below some of the common security issues your business could face and what you can do to prevent or deter crime.

CCTV is now an essential management tool. Not only can it be used for general security purposes (i.e. to deter, detect and record evidence of criminal activity), it can be used in numerous other ways.

Duty of Care - All employers have a duty of care to their employees and onsite CCTV can: 1) Reduce violent incidents from happening 2) Detect staff engaging in practises that breach their training 3)Be able to review incidents to reduce the number of health and safety at work incidents

4)Use to identify potential hazards Prevent Theft - Staff should always be vigilant for any suspicious activity. Behaviour associated with shoplifting and theft includes: 1) Choosing purchases quickly 2) Trying to rush the transaction 3) Working in groups to distract staff 4) Splitting purchases between different credit cards CCTV is a deterrent against such crimes but is also invaluable in providing evidence against these criminals. Missing Object Detection is even available in some systems, which will alert business owners when an object is removed, protecting valuable items.

Employee Theft No one likes to think their staff is stealing from them, but staff theft is an extremely common problem. Staff theft could be reduced by: 1) Regularly changing staff who control stock to avoid bad practises 2) Installation of CCTV over tills to ensure that the right money is being exchanged 3) CCTV covering car parks and communal areas 4) Educate staff about the potential effects theft has on your business Company Cars & Delivery Vehicles An increasing number of crash for cash incidents has been reported in the UK, leaving drivers vulnerable. Simple gadgets such as car camera recorders or dash cams can not only provide evidence should such an incident occur, but also make it easier to lodge claims with insurance companies.

They also have the added benefit of being able to monitor driver behaviour and for those companies with delivery vehicles, prove that deliveries have been made.

Lone Workers If you employ staff who work alone, you can help to reduce risks by advising sensible precautions they can take to ensure their personal safety: 1) Making sure their mobile phone is fully charged 2) Providing colleagues with details of any visitors they receive or external meetings they attend 3) Using a torch at night 4) Taking someone with them if they are unsure of an area 5) Carrying a personal duress alarm Alarms Alarms help to secure a building by alerting you to intruders. They can also deter would be intruders from attempting to enter the building in the first place.

Monitored alarms are extremely beneficial as you are notified of all events as they occur, regardless of where you are.

Installation of an alarm system can possibly reduce your insurance premiums.

Inexpensive Alternatives Safety, security and peace of mind, does not need to cost the earth. Security lighting is an extremely effective way of deterring criminals and used in conjunction with dummy CCTV cameras and warning signs, is a simple and inexpensive solution.” www.alarmservice2995.co.uk month…

Miss Julie

A period piece now for those of us that love a bit of costume drama.

Based on a Swedish play from the late 19th century, Miss Julie is set in 1890, in Fermanagh, Northern Ireland during the course of a midsummer night. Julie (Jessica Chastain, Zero Dark Thirty), the daughter of the Count, an Anglo-Irish aristocrat, attempts to seduce her father's valet, John (Colin Farrell, In Bruges) despite the class divide and the fact that John is engaged to the cook Kathryn (Samantha Morton, Minority Report). The affair quickly goes to some dark places, with power and class playing a key role.

Legend

The next film has already had a good build up as it tells the story of Britain’s most notorious gangsters, Ronnie and Reginald Kray, both played by Tom Hardy (Bronson, The Dark Knight Rises).

The film follows the identical twin gangsters as they terrorise London during the 1950s and 1960s and the relationship that bound them together which was one of gruesome violence and crime, and one that led to their downfall and imprisonment for life in 1969. Hardy is the

Everest

It is time for a disaster movie, although this time it’s based on real events. It is based on the real events of the 1996 Mount Everest disaster.

It will focus on the summit and survival attempts of two expedition groups, the one led by mountain guide Scott Fischer (Jake Gyllenhaal, The Day After Tomorrow), and the one led by New Zealand Mountaineer Rob Hall (Jason Clarke, Zero Dark Thirty).

The 1996 Mount Everest disaster which the film is based on refers to the events of 10–11 May 1996, when eight people were caught in a blizzard and died on Mount Everest during summit attempts. In the entire season, 12 people died trying to reach the summit, making this the deadliest day and the deadliest year on Mount Everest

Don't let pride stop you putting an end to this nightmarish situation.

GEMINI May 22nd June 21st

ARIES March 21st April 20th You need to be a lot more realistic about work deadlines at the beginning of September. A seemingly simple job will take much longer than you think.

Fortunately, you will get plenty of help and inspiration from a creative colleague. If you hit a snag, ask for their assistance. A Solar Eclipse on the 13th helps you find relief for a nagging health problem. By changing the way you eat and exercise, you'll feel years younger.

Be as flexible as you can and try not to get frustrated with last minute changes. This whole disrupting scenario will soon pass. A Lunar Eclipse on the 28th will tempt you to radically alter your appearance. Don't, or you will be sorry. This is not the time to go for a radical makeover or extreme image update.

Money for a house payment or tuition will arrive in early September. Resist the urge to squander these resources on something that will afford short term pleasure. A Solar Eclipse on the 13th is perfect for finding a beautiful living arrangement. If you want to buy a place, explore an area that is known for its natural beauty. You'll have to be extremely practical regarding work at mid-month. There won't be much money in the budget for extravagant projects. You'll also have to put in longer hours at the office. Your relationship with your best friend, lover, or business partner will take on a serious tone during the second half of the month. Don't be surprised if you have to take over some of your friend's responsibilities. A Lunar Eclipse on the 28th marks the sudden end of a friendship or group association. You simply can't afford to connect yourself with people who are involved in under the counter activities.

You definitely don't have to justify your new way of life to an inquisitive colleague. You don't have to defend yourself to relative strangers. A Solar Eclipse on the 13th is perfect for scheduling an overseas trip. Visiting an ancient city will uplift and inspire you.

Working in solitude proves enjoyable during the second half of September. It's easier to focus on your duties without constant interruptions. You'll be able to assert your authority more effectively on the 25th, when a chaotic situation demands your attention. People who used to challenge your assertions will gladly take direction from you when panic sets in. A Lunar Eclipse on the 28th marks the end of an emotional domestic drama.

At long last, you'll be able to retain control of your surroundings. If this means moving to a new place, so be it.

Finances will be tight at the beginning of September, so budget accordingly. Be realistic about what you want and need.

Fortunately, your best friend or lover will get an unexpected opportunity to earn big money on the 8th. The Solar Eclipse on the 13th is ideal for an intimate encounter. If you're in love, plan a surprise getaway for your amour.

Are you single? You will soon embark on a relationship with someone who exudes excitement and mystery. Be selective about the company you keep during the second half of September. You don't want a trouble maker to compromise your professional reputation. A very attractive newcomer will flirt like mad with you on the 23rd. It's nice to know

Totally Tina…

Having headlined the 2015 Glastonbudget Festival in May earlier this year (the biggest tribute festival of the year), Totally TINA comes to Chesterfield – Winding Wheel on Thursday 1st October!

Totally TINA is an awardwinning tribute to the Queen of Rock and Roll, Tina Turner, being given the “Official UK number one” honour by the Agents Association of Great Britain. Currently touring the UK theatres in a full production version with live band, dancers and our leading lady Justine Riddoch.

Rather than being a biography, this show focuses on Tina's live concert career, replicating scenes from various tours over the last 50 years with custom twists and turns created

by Justine and her cast.

Justine has been singing professionally for over 22 years now and has worked extensively in theatres and on national TV, she is also a much sought after session vocalist for some of the biggest record labels in the UK. In her early career she could be seen treading the familiar cabaret scene as a dynamic vocalist and could boast knowing over 5000 songs, becoming a human juke box at venues.

But it was in 2002 that her career would change direction. After winning ITV's “Stars in their Eyes” as Anastacia, her tribute show “Justine is Anastacia” was in great demand and she spent the next 6 years performing as her around the world, enlisting a live band to create more of a show feel. When Anastacia stopped releasing albums and her

20

popularity waned, it was time to change direction again.

Having been told on many occasions she really sounded like Tina Turner, Justine set herself the challenge to become the closest copy she could be. But this was going to take some transformation. After hours of scrutinising video footage, watching mannerisms and movements, hand making the all important wig, deciding which costumes to copy, listening to patter and hundreds of versions of the same songs from different decades, the band and Justine created Totally TINA. The boys in the band were informed that girls would have to be a big big part of this and surprisingly no one complained! A troupe of professional dancers were hand-picked, choreography based on Tina's live shows and our own unique creations were created and the whole production was rehearsed, tweaked and rehearsed again.

So get ready to Shake your Tailfeathers, with the Queen of Rock and Soul, Live from Nutbush and Simply the Best!

Fielding Stars for Amigos at Knockhill…

“It’s Sennan Fielding was one of the stars of the weekend at Knockhill (22/23 August) as he definitely my scored a win and two third places for the been lucky Amigos Tequila Flavoured Beer racing team. weekend Rising young star Fielding from far,” Chesterfield was racing in rounds 19, 20 and so 21 of the MSA Formula Championship and said was the weekend’s top points’ scorer to move Sennan as took up to third in the title race. Meanwhile, he Michael Caine represented Amigos in the the top step of the podium. “After qualifying I wasn’t expecting Michelin Ginetta GT4 SuperCup but much in the way of results. I bided my time had a tough behind Josh Smith and Colton Herta and weekend could see they were getting quite close to and came each other. As soon as I saw they had away with contact then I decided it was my time to take a best advantage down into the hairpin. I was finish of happy to settle for second and then on the sixth place. last lap I saw Dan have his problem, and it Fielding gifted me the win. It just shows the qualified importance of being there at the finish.” eighth To cap a fine weekend, Sennan took fastest in the ultra-competitive single-seater championship, with a best lap third place in the final race of the weekend. just half a second away from pole position. “What a weekend! I can’t really believe I’ve However, in the opening race he soon made had three podiums,” he said. “We’ve not had up ground to finish a fine third.

Archaeological Dig on the Chesterfield Canal…

In early August, volunteers digging out the channel to restore the Chesterfield Canal in Staveley discovered some stone remains.

They asked Dr Geraint Coles, archaeologist and former Chesterfield Canal Development Manager, to come and have a look. He immediately decided that the site deserved to be properly investigated.

Following an email appeal for helpers by the Chesterfield Canal Trust, the dig was arranged for 15th and 16th August.

The remains were of the walls and invert (floor) of the original Eckington Road Bridge over the canal, built in about 1776. It is quite incredible that it has remained intact, because three other bridges and a railway line have all been built within a few yards in the following 240 years.

Very early on the Saturday morning, Geraint Coles did an interview on Radio Sheffield. This inspired a listener to come along to Staveley to join the group.

First of all the site was roughly cleared by a mini-digger, then the volunteers set to work. There was lots of heavy clay that had to be shovelled and barrowed out, however the main work was done by removing the last of the muck from the stonework using trowels and brushes. Most of the 24 volunteers who helped over the weekend spent their time on their hands and knees doing this very slow and painstaking work.

As more and more was revealed, the story of how the construction was done began to emerge. It became obvious that the bridge had been constructed first and the towpath put in afterwards.

By the end, Dr Coles was able to say “Many thanks to everyone for a great weekend of digging - we now have a good sequence for the site and a much better understanding of how the bridge was built.”

As was expected, there were lots of objects found in the mud, such as old bottles, miners’ lamp and candle holders, a gentleman's sword stick and a clay pipe. Of particular interest were three coins, including a George III half penny, dated 1772 or 1773. Of this, Dr Coles said “This coin is probably a forgery as the obverse and reverse are inverted. This would not be unusual as the county was flooded with forged copper coins during the 1770's. What a great find and bang on date!” There remain the tasks of accurately measuring and photographing the site and washing and cataloguing the finds.

Eventually the whole site will be removed because the new, restored canal has to be lower in order to get under a nearby railway, however there is now a desire to do more such digs. A Cuckoo boat, unique to the Chesterfield Canal, is believed to be buried not far away. It is hoped that this will be next on the list.
