Take the Plunge

Felixstowe’s famous charity annual Christmas Day Dip! The famous annual icy plunge into the cold North Sea, organised by and in aid of St Elizabeth Hospice, and kindly supported by this year’s sponsor David Button Independent Funeral Directors, will take place on Felixstowe sea front at 10am on Christmas morning.

Natalie Hill, events and challenges fundraiser at St Elizabeth Hospice, said, “This will be our 15th Christmas Day Dip and it’s gathering quite a following. We now have around 500 people take part each year who see this as the start of their festivities on the day. Their friends and family all come along to watch and there’s a fantastic atmosphere as everyone gathers to run into the sea.”

The Felixstowe Magazine - WINTER 2018

“The hospice itself is open 365 days a year, including Christmas Day, so it’s important that we fundraise 365 days a year too in order to offer our services to local people.

While those raising money will be dashing into the bracing waters, there will be patients in the hospice, receiving the care they need, thanks to their support.”

To help us launch the event, Mayor of Felixstowe, Councillor Graham Newman with brave the North Sea for photographs: “I took part in the dip a few years ago and really enjoyed it. This year I’d really like to lead the charge and be the first in – I’m sure people will give generously to see me take an icy bath!”

The event is short and ends following a countdown and dip into the sea. As they emerge from the water, all participants will receive a medal as a keepsake to remember the day before returning to the warm to enjoy their Christmas turkey.

If you didn’t have a chance to book yourself in to join the big dip, you can apply to take part in next year’s event by visiting www. stelizabethhospice.org.uk/dip.

WISHING YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Care for your Christmas Tree If you have a real cut pine tree to decorate for Christmas, here are some tips to choose the right Christmas tree and make it last, stay green and fresh for as long as possible.

Fresh Trees The fresher a tree is when you buy it, the longer it will last. To find the freshest tree: • Choose a good store that ideally display their trees in buckets of water and sheltered from harsh weather.

• A fresh, healthy tree will be bright green without dull colour or browning needles.

The limbs should still be somewhat flexible, and it should shed very few needles when tapped or shaken.

• Potted trees last longer and can be replanted to add to your landscaping.

Tips to Make a Christmas Tree Last Longer • Cut 1/2 an inch off the base of the trunk and immediately place in clean water. This will open the pores through which the tree can absorb water to stay fresh.

• Keep your tree out of direct sunlight and away from fireplaces.

• Trim away lower branches or any interior branches necessary to shape the tree.

Pine trees lose an incredible amount of moisture through their needles, and by removing some of those needles you can help the tree stay fresh longer.

6

The Felixstowe Magazine - WINTER 2018

• Use a tree stand that has a large water capacity.

• Refill the water twice daily.

• If the tree appears to be drying out, use warm or hot water to refill the stand. Warmer water can be absorbed more quickly and will help rejuvenate the tree.

Tree Preservatives • A litre or so of water to keep a tree fresh and lush.

• 5-2 cups of sugar will serve as “food” for the tree.

• 3-4 teaspoons of lemon juice or vinegar to will raise the acidity of the water.

• 3-4 teaspoons of bleach will act as a disinfectant to prevent mould, fungus, or mildew from growing in the tree stand or infecting the tree itself. Do not be tempted to use extra bleach, however, as too much can be harmful to the tree.

It is easy to make a Christmas tree last longer, if first you choose a fresh, healthy tree and then you care for it properly. With plenty of water, the right location and careful monitoring, a cut tree can last for several weeks and bring a lot of joy into your home throughout the season.

The Unique Personal Touch

The Felixstowe Magazine - WINTER 2018

Be a Santa to a Senior It’s back! A heart-warming scheme for this Christmas Local at-home care company, Home Instead Senior Care, has joined forces with M&S in Felixstowe and a number of local charities, churches and welfare organisations to bring a heart-warming scheme to Felixstowe this Christmas.

The gift-giving scheme, called ‘Be a Santa to a Senior’, will see gifts distributed amongst elderly people in our community. The way it works is simple.

M&S will have a ‘Be a Santa to a Senior’ Christmas tree on display on Friday 14th.

The tree will be decorated with gift tags carrying the first name of a local person and the gift they would enjoy receiving.

Members of the public can then buy an appropriate gift from M&S and leave it with the Home Instead team who will set to expertly wrapping the items, delivering them just in time for Christmas.

Speaking about ‘Be a Santa to a Senior’, Joanna McCall, Genereal Manager of Home Instead Ipswich said, “We are really excited about this scheme and are delighted that M&S and several local organisations have decided to partner with us to allow us to distribute gifts to people who really need them.”

Gill Bishop of Home Instead

who would really appreciate knowing that local people are thinking about them this Christmas.”

In closing the manager from M&S Felixstowe said, “We are more than happy to be working with Home Instead and helping to make ‘Be a Santa to a Senior’ a huge success. We are looking forward to receiving donations.” www.homeinstead.co.uk 01394 617558

“We provide care to older people in their own homes. Our clients are assured of regular company from their CARE Givers but we are hoping that ‘Be a Santa to a Senior’ will allow us to reach out to the many older people who, perhaps, don’t receive as many visitors as our clients and The Felixstowe Magazine - WINTER 2018

Decembeard A fun fundraiser for bowel cancer research Taking part is simple, just grow a beard this December and help us stop people dying of bowel cancer. Already bearded?

No problem. Dye, ditch or decorate your beard and join the campaign.

Sign up via the webiste (bowelcanceruk. org.uk) to receive your free fundraising pack, which will include a guide full of beard growing and fundraising tips, as well as posters for you to put up at work or in your community.

You can fundraise individually or as a team. Encourage your friends and family to get involved with your fundraising, creating challenges over length, style and even colour.

This year we’re asking you to fundraise £100 each. This will help fund vital services and lifesaving research to help ensure a future where nobody dies of bowel cancer.

Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK. Almost 42,000 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer every year in the UK. More than nine out of ten new cases (94%) are diagnosed in people 12

The Felixstowe Magazine - WINTER 2018

over the age of 50, and nearly six out of ten cases (59%) are diagnosed in people aged 70 or over. But bowel cancer can affect anyone of any age. More than 2,500 new cases are diagnosed each year in people under the age of 50.

1 in 14 men and 1 in 19 women will be diagnosed with bowel cancer during their lifetime.

Around 268,000 people living in the UK today have been diagnosed with bowel cancer.

Bowel cancer is treatable and curable especially if diagnosed early. Nearly everyone survives bowel cancer if diagnosed at the earliest stage. However this drops significantly as the disease develops. Early diagnosis really does save lives There is only a small chance that bowel cancer will come back after five years.

More than 16,000 people die from bowel cancer in the UK every year. It is the second biggest cancer killer in the UK. But the number of people dying of bowel cancer has been falling since the 1970s. This may be due to earlier diagnosis and better treatment.

So fellas, your beards go a long way to help fundraise for this cause! Join us this December, get growing and raise as much as you can. www.bowelcanceruk.org.uk

Felixstowe Town and Around Welcoming the return of the regular article by local councillor, Doreen Savage Well, I’m back! I understand from the Editor that many of you have missed my news round up and so, as the magazine will now be a beautiful quarterly production, I will have more time on my hands and I’m delighted to be able to contribute to this column once again.

The first item of news has to be the agreement of the Town Council to the employment of our own PCSO for the town. Ben Sagi, working under the direction of Sgt. Peter Street, a wellknown local police sergeant, has been appointed to the PCSO role which will be in addition to the regular level of staffing

by Suffolk Constabulary, but we all know that the priorities for the constabulary at the present time do not include parking issues and many of the other day-today things that concern us all. We hear an awful lot on TV about “county lines” and domestic violence and I am sad to say that Felixstowe is not immune to these activities and it is right that our constabulary concentrate on these areas of work. More on Ben on page 19.

The news of the 100% cut in the County Council funding to all Suffolk offices of the Citizens Advice has come as a body blow to the organisation. As you can imagine, meetings as to how the service will continue are prevalent and lobbying of our County Councillors is taking place across the county. With the roll out of Universal Credit in Felixstowe in October the need for the help of Citizens Advice is crucial – and the office in Orwell Road is geared up to assist anyone who needs help with claiming Universal Credit 14

The Felixstowe Magazine - WINTER 2018

working alongside the JobCentre in providing the best possible help and advice. Citizens Advice was warned last year of cuts to the funding – but no-one envisaged such a draconian action for the next financial year.

Citizens Advice has been in existence since the 1940’s and every year helps some of the more vulnerable members of our society, as well as being there for anyone who might need advice on a myriad of subjects. One of the services that is available again this year is advice on energy savings and I know that many people have been saved substantial sums of money based on the advice given by Citizens Advice on the benefits of switching energy suppliers. If you are thinking along these lines do go into the office in Orwell Road for advice and help.

The draft of the new Local plan is reaching its final stages at the District Council. I have been a member of the working party alongside another Felixstowe colleague and have attended most of the 27 meetings needed on this very important document. The meetings have lasted for hours and have been very intense as you can imagine. Felixstowe Town Council members were involved in the responses on the Felixstowe section of the document and I am pleased to say that many parts of the Felixstowe Area Action plan upon which Town Councillors worked previously, have been included in the new document.

The consultation process to which residents could respond have resulted in many of those comments being incorporated in the draft local plan, but, of course, many have not. I know there is concern in some quarters of the housing numbers required over the next 20 years in Felixstowe – and these have not changed. Concern was raised in the consultation process by a number of residents and the Town Council regarding the future of Eastward ‘Ho. I am pleased to say that the new wording in the draft local plan includes the importance of the open space at Eastward ‘Ho along with The

Grove as playing an important role in the recreational and community facilities for the residents of Felixstowe.

The draft has yet to go before Scrutiny and Cabinet at the District before submission to the Planning Inspectorate in the New Year.

Whilst on the subject of planning, the Wetherspoon’s application for the old doctor’s surgery site has been re-submitted for approval. The application is for a 5-storey building incorporating a pub and 24 apartments, 8 of which will be for social housing. These will be one- and two bedroom accommodation – for which there is a need. Many of the objections made by the Town Council to the previous application for this particular development have been addressed by the applicant and the Town Council has now approved the latest application. Purely on the grounds that I felt it was one storey too high, I voted to refuse it – but I was a lone voice! At least there is the prospect of that unsightly site disappearing from our landscape. Some of the existing trees will remain, but some will be removed and replaced with new planting.

The operator of the Felixstowe/Shotley/ Harwich Foot Ferry has now produced figures for passenger journeys for this year with a comparison to last year. The operator Christian Zemann reported the following:

“The increase in passenger numbers is about 10% compared to last year. But the increase from customers travelling from further away is about 25%.

2017 June 4289 2018 June 4720 2017 July 5421 2018 July 6729 2017 August 7970 2018 August 8367 March to August 2017 total passengers 25553 March to August 2018 28404”.

I realise we had a fantastic summer this year, but there is no doubt that the investment in a larger Ferry and the extra trips that the operator now provides have been a huge factor in this success story.

Funding towards keeping this service operating comes with grants from the Essex CC and Suffolk CC as well as Tendring District Council, Harwich Town Council and Felixstowe town Council. Fingers crossed that there are no drastic cuts to these funding streams as the Ferry contributes hugely to our tourist trade in Felixstowe.

Well, I think this is about all for this article.

I hope you have found the content of interest and useful.

A very Happy Christmas and New Year to all readers – and I wonder what awaits us in 2019?

Doreen Savage.

Book Review A review of Shelter in Place by Nora Roberts

What started out as a fun-filled day at the mall - watching movies, shopping and grabbing a bite to eat - became a memory that people there would never forget. They heard the term “shelter in place” many times before, but only then did they really understand what that meant. Sometimes hiding meant the different between life and death.

Nora Roberts, a New York Times best-selling author, weaves a tale that unfortunately mirrors real life all too often. Shelter in Place, published in 2018, shows how average people doing everyday things can quickly become victims and sometimes heroes while a nightmare unfolds around them.

Sixteen-year-old Simone Knox, who by a stroke of luck was in the restroom when the first gunman entered the movie theatre where her best friends were sitting, had the presence of mind to call 911. Her actions saved a lot of people that day, and she was heralded as a hero. Inside, however, she felt like a coward for not doing anything to protect her friends that day, even though the operator told her to stay hidden. Once old enough to be on her own, Simone tried to escape the pain by running as far away as she could from her hometown.

Reed Quartermaine was working at his after-school job and was on a break when the second shooter came into the mall. As he ran to hide, he spotted a scared little boy looking for his mom. Scooping him up and hiding him from the bullets saved both of their lives that day. Reed too was hailed as a hero. To deal with his pain, he went on to become a cop so he could try to prevent more crimes against the innocent.

Little did they know there was one person left from that night who was the mastermind 20

behind the terror, and she wasn’t done with her plans yet. One by one Patricia Jane Hobart was coming after the people who survived the carnage, and that included Simone and Reed. Now in a relationship and looking forward to their future, they will once again have to fight for their lives and the lives of those around them.

Shelter in Place is a book about the courage and resilience of everyday people who are forced to confront evil, not once, but twice. Will Simone and Reed escape with their lives once again, or will Patricia succeed the second time around?

A new PCSO on board to address local community priorities The Town Council has taken up the Suffolk Police and Crime Commissioner’s offer to provide the town with an additional, locally funded PCSO for the next two years to address some local matters that would otherwise be a low-priority for the Constabulary.

The decision was, in part, prompted by the reported two-year delay to civil parking enforcement – where district councils will take over the role of on-street parking enforcement – which had originally been scheduled to take effect from April 2019.

Mayor of Felixstowe, Cllr Graham Newman said, "Whilst we are fortunate in having a very low level of serious crime in Felixstowe, many residents are concerned about illegal, anti-social and inconsiderate behaviour, particularly involving the use of motor vehicles.

We appreciate the Police service is tasked to target serious crime throughout the County, but Town Councillors consider a more visible police presence in the Town is necessary. A dedicated PCSO should help to counter these perceived problems, at least until Civil Parking Enforcement is introduced in the town."

The new scheme offers a guarantee that the officer will work within the geographic area of the sponsoring agency rather than integration into a wider Neighbourhood Policing Team.

Sponsored PCSOs can only be deployed to other duties in exceptional circumstances.

For example, attending a major incident.

Felixstowe’s new PCSO, Ben Sagi, will begin work on 1st December under the direction of the Felixstowe and District Neighbourhood Policing Team. Working collaboratively with the Town Council, PCSO Sagi will be tasked to provide a visible and reassuring presence to our streets, on hand to help people on a day to day basis, gathering local intelligence and addressing other issues in Felixstowe, such as illegal parking.

Ben will work within the local policing team and remain directly accountable to the local Sergeant, who will liaise with the Town Council on a regular basis to identify local priorities to ensure ongoing community needs are being met.

Suffolk Constabulary pays for all training, uniform and equipment for a sponsored PCSO, with the Town Council covering the salary and on-costs associated with the role at £34,000 per year for the next two years.

Under the arrangement, the Town Council will receive monthly reports detailing the PCSO’s activities in addition to those of the Neighbourhood Policing Team. Ben will also be regularly available to the public at the Town Hall between 10am-1pm on the first Wednesday of every month.

Anyone wishing to report non-emergency crimes can contact 101 or make a report via www.suffolk.police.uk/contact-us/reportsomething. In an emergency, always call 999.

Pet Problems Helping pet owners around Felixstowe As winter is upon us it’s time to make sure that all animals that live outside are as comfortable as possible.

How do I keep my rabbits and guinea pigs warm and dry this winter?

Most small animals adapt well as the temperature changes and are perfectly happy outside in the colder months. The first thing to check is that any hutch is still sound, off the ground (4 inches), waterproof and sheltered from wind. Many people move their pets into sheds or garages but do ensure the new location is pet friendly and free from fumes from engines or chemicals.

You can add cardboard nesting boxes filled with warm hay and other bedding to keep pets cosy. Hutch covers, and heat pads can also add to their comfort or use old sleeping bags, blankets or carpet plus waterproof tarpaulin on top and around the cage to keep things snug and warm.

Do remove these from the front during the

day and allow some air to circulate at all times. In very cold weather, water bottles can freeze and it is a good idea to have a bowl of water as well as a bottle as you will need to compensate for the reduced moisture intake now that they are not out on the grass as much. Moisture in toilet areas can also freeze so should be cleaned daily. With less access to grass, ensure eating hay is available at all times and give a handful of fresh leafy greens such as carrot tops and broccoli and good quality nuggets every day.

Did you know a guinea pig should be eating their own body size in hay every day?

If your pet has lost a companion during the year and is now on their own or is getting on in years you could also consider bringing them indoors but make sure you do this before it gets too cold as they would not react well to a sudden change in temperature.

Winter can be a lonely time for outside pets so do make sure you still make an effort to interact with them on a daily basis and check that they are well.

A regular update from a brilliant local charity, providing financial, practical and general support Over the last year BASIC have increased the work with food insecurity issues in Felixstowe and the surrounding villages.

Pop-up shops We now have three pop-up shops per week at St. Edmunds Church, Langer Road, St. Philip’s Church hall, Wadgate Road and at Trimley Free Church.

Customers purchase a bag and then help themselves to the items on offer. These range from all kinds of fresh and perishable foods to toiletries and other items such as clothes, shoes and household utensils we supply from our shop stock.

The food is collected from our charity partners who include Marks and Spencer, Morrisons, Waitrose, Tesco, Lidl, The Co-op and others. We also have an account with Fare Share and purchase a substantial amount of food each week.

Overall, we collect and distribute over half a metric tonne of food per week supplying at least 100 local residents in need.

We are opening a fourth Felixstowe-area pop-up shop at St. Peter and St. Paul Church in Old Felixstowe on Thursday January 10th 2019. We feel this will be possibly the final piece in the jigsaw for this area and we will then look further afield to promote

Basic Life Charity the idea. A pop-up is planned for the Deaf Centre in Ipswich for early 2019 to compliment the one already at St. Francis Church, Ipswich. Another has been successfully operational in Leytonstone.

Universal Credit The alarming news about problems with Universal Credit has been confirmed with us as we have received a lot more referrals for assistance since it was rolled out in some local areas. In fact, at the time of writing, we have donated almost £1000 in the past three weeks alone, to local residents who are in dire need due to the gap in between usual payments ceasing and the new ones commencing. It appears that this ‘gap’ is the main problem.

information about residents who might be lonely during the festive period.

We were able to provide shoe boxes of gifts to these residents, along with our usual sacks of seasonal items to up to 100 local families/individuals as identified by groups such as local Social Services, Citizen’s Advice, Housing Associations etc.

Ipswich Night Shelter etc We were pleased to once again support the Ipswich Night shelter with essential items from our shop stock such as sleeping bags, boots and shoes. We have also provided support to many other local charities such as Stennetts Community Café.

Schools

In addition, we have assisted local people who have been evicted from their homes, which was almost unheard of in previous years.

We continue to provide free school breakfasts for the children at both Langer Academy and Causton Junior School in Felixstowe. This has been an ongoing project which started several years ago.

Period Poverty

General

We have been working with Suffolk Council and The Felixstowe Academy to tackle this problem. Girls at the school have been enthusiastic in promoting awareness, providing peer assistance and providing clear guidance within the Academy itself.

It is planned for the school to develop the idea and pass it on to other schools in Suffolk.

Christmas Parcels At the end of last year we developed our ‘Christmas with BASIC’ project further and wrote to all local care/residential homes for

Over the year we have assisted an enormous amount of people in need with free items from stock in emergencies. These include free provision of wheelchairs, bedding and clothes assistance for domestic fire victims and we continue to run our food banks at each of our shops.

2019 Calendar Raising charitable funds with a beautiful 2019 creative calendar by local photographer, Alan Boyle As some of you know, I’m a local photographer who loves to showcase our beautiful area with my photos.

We have an abundance of the most gorgeous scenery right here at our finger tips. We are very lucky indeed!

Some people have asked if I would put together a calendar with some of the images I’ve taken over the past year.

Well your wish is my command!

Boast International Ltd has been a part sponsor in this project and I’ve also decided to give some of the profit proceeds to a great charity that helps the local youth in our area, the Level Two youth project. This charity helps promote the welfare of young people between

Now I need your help. I need you to dig deep (well, not that deep really) and purchase one (or more) of the calendars. They only cost £10. This is for an A3 wall size calendar that comes in a cardboard envelope, so it can easily be mailed to you even if you live out of town. Please enquire for postal charge.

The Ultimate Drone Ex

Introducing to you Mick Richardson, one of Felixstowe most sought-aftermdrone trainers You’ve got your first drone and you’re itching to get out and fly around the skies, or maybe droning is something you’ve always wanted to do but you want to dip your toe in the water before committing to a drone of your own. Before you do there’s a couple of things you might need to think about.

We interviewed Mick, a local drone trainer offering the perfect drone flight experience for newbies and the more experienced flier.

How did you get into drone training?

In preparation for retirement from a 30-year career in public service, in June 2015, I began the three stages of training to qualify as a professional commercial pilot. The training began with a ‘ground school’ exam, BNUC-s British National Unmanned Craft) small, followed by th(e flight line exam to demonstrate safe flying ability. Finally, I completed my training with the PfCO qualification (Permission for Commercial Operation) issued by the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority.

What does the training entail?

The purpose of the training is to ensure that as a hobby flier, you will have enough control of your aircraft to be able to fly safely. I cannot qualify anybody to gain their PfCO – but I can teach inexperienced drone fliers to fly safe and fly legal. If someone wants to gain their own formal qualifications, they will have to sign up to the course and take the exams.

30

The Felixstowe Magazine - WINTER 2018

Do you have top tips for someone who has just got their first drone?

Tip 1: This is an important one so I’m mentioning this tip first - as of late 2019, any drone over 250g in weight will have to be registered with the CAA, so that’s something to think about – plus in registering the aircraft, fairly simple on-line knowledge test will have to be passed.

Tip 2: Before you fly for real, if your drone comes with a software simulator, why not get used to how it flies on the computer before putting it in the air for real for the first time? That way, you’ll know what to expect a little later on.

Tip 3: Put your phone number on the drone – just in case you lose it! (Even the professionals lose an aircraft every once in a while.)

Tip 4: You’re going to need much more space around you than you may think.

Unless you own oodles of land, don’t fly from your back garden – it isn’t going to be big enough. When I first learnt to fly I tried in my back garden and ended up destroying our flower beds!

Tip 5: The weather can be your friend and your enemy! Don’t fly in damp weather (rain, snow, fog, mist etc.). Moisture will penetrate the aircraft which can cause irreparable damage to the electronics that keep it in the air. Strong winds too can cause havoc – and as a rule of thumb, the higher you fly, the windier it is – even if it appears nice at ground level.

Tip 6: There are all sorts of other people up there in the sky – balloonists, microlights, gliders and so on – plus military and emergency services – so when you are in the air, always keep both an ear and eye out for others who may not see your drone. If you spot someone moving towards your drone, bring it down low as soon as you can if safe to do so.

xperience

Tip7: Always fly so as to keep your drone in your sight. The maximum distance you can fly is 500 metres as it’s about the max distance that you may be able to stay in sight of it.

Tip 8: If your drone is fitted with a camera, you may be able to capture some fantastic photographs, but images of people in their gardens etc. is not allowed unless you have been asked specifically to take them.

Tip 9: Lastly, you need to be aware that there are numbers of rules (laws) affecting the use of drones – these are put in place by the Civil Aviation Authority, and the local police are responsible for dealing with any offences that occur (and yes, they can seize your new drone if you break the laws).

In a nutshell, to stay out of the long arms of the law, you need to have a big space to take off and land in (a 30m radius into which no one else should be) and you must keep at least 50m away from people and property if you don’t have their permission to fly any closer to them. Never fly over crowds and always stay 150m away from any public gatherings!

There are many rules to drone flying so Google ‘drone code’ for some very basic rules so you get the most out of your your new aircraft!

Brilliant! So, are there any other projects do you get up to?

Whilst I thought I’d be earning an income from flying around for other people, I’ve ended up subcontracting to a team of people who offer the full training package from those like me who want to become professionally qualified in piloting a drone.

31

The Felixstowe Magazine - WINTER 2018

I now work for UAV8 in Ipswich and I’m their lead flight line trainer – meaning that most of my time is spent either training people from scratch or tutoring them. I have to say that I absolutely love doing that.

I fly aircraft fitted with UHD video cameras, zoom lenses and thermal imaging. I also provide ground-based time lapse video which are great for showing progress of ground-based work or construction.

We found you to be really approachable and the way you teach is perfect for newbies!

Thanks! I like to engage with ‘hobby fliers’ who wish to know more, learn more and discover how to ‘really’ fly safely and legally to stay out of danger and I’d like to focus on this as the laws being applied to drone flight get more and more complicated.

If someone is interested in having some drone lessons how can they get in touch?

I have some great drone experience packages for those that want to start up or those that want to brush up their skills.

My details are below or in the advert on the opposite page. I also have some lovely offers this winter which can make the perfect Christmas gift or even a unique Valentines experience for couples. All these offers are on page 95. ______________________________________ Thanks to Mick for this insight into drone flying. We had a little taster flight experience session of our own, and were lucky

enough to film the whole thing! You can check out the video clip on our website: www.thefelixstowemagazine.com.

Learning anything can be a little daunting so here are some recent reviews from Mick’s clients: “In 2017, Mick Richardson gave me step by step guidance to obtain my Permission for commercial Operation.

His knowledge of this industry is second to none, ensuring professionalism and safety was at the centre of my business.

His friendly personality helped me to relax and improve my skills on the controls whilst teaching me the disciplines required for a safe operation. He has a wealth of knowledge that helped me in the right direction of what relevant information to learn and understand. Without any doubt, Mick was a vital part to me endeavouring to become a professional drone pilot. I would recommend him to every aspiring pilot whether for commercial or domestic purpose. A pleasure to fly with!!!”

John Clarke – Ipswich “His friendly, approachable and professional manner ensures clients are trained to the highest standards.

Mick’s instructional style and mentorship ensures even the most nervous and inexperienced student completes the course with the knowledge, confidence and ability to fly safely within the confines of current legislation. A trusted and valued member of the UAV8 family of professional instructors!”

It was Curtains for Romance Random ramblings by our local lad During the shorter days and darker evenings, my significant other and I typically head off to warmer climes for a long weekend to cheer ourselves up.

Thanks to the marvellous thing that is Air BnB – which felt like authorised squatting when we first tried it – we recently bagged ourselves a nice little studio apartment in the wild city of Naples. Although I must say if you ever go don’t expect to be able to order Neapolitan ice cream like they sell in the CoOp! Most disappointing.

After a long day on the Amalfi coast and feeling slightly grubby and a little sweaty I was glad to return to our apartment where a ‘doccia calder’ (for those who haven’t discovered Google translate, that’s ‘hot shower’ in Italian… I hope!) was waiting for me.

I slipped out of my M&S summer singlet (covered in a dash of pistachio gelato, which was bought in lieu of finding a cardboard clad block Neapolitan ice cream; I’m still gutted about that), cut-offs and Mr Men flip flops, grabbed a towel and sashayed to the bathroom. Tastefully adorned with terracotta tiles from the Island of Capri (or possibly Ikea) I turned and followed by a slight squeal I observed with horror… the plastic shower curtain.

Now I’m sorry if any readers own one of these miscreations but they must be globally outlawed… now!

Why this outcry?

Okay, well let’s face it, in a shower you’re in your birthday suit; you’re quite vulnerable. There you are nude and now at this juncture we have to consider physics. You are standing in a confined space which is about to be filled with hot

water and steam. Outside the cubicle the air is cooler. Your person is wet, you have a bar of Imperial Leather (or Pears of if you like your soap transparent) in your hand ready to lather up and it attacks! Yes the aforementioned physics kicks in and the wet and now freezing cold plastic shower curtain (those two words should never be twinned) waits until you’re not looking, or even worse bending over and at a rate of knots it reaches in and envelopes your suds-smothered body.

And now the scary part; there’s no escape.

This monster of a design flaw has taken on a life of its own. However much you try and keep it off you, whether it’s with a foot while tackling an armpit, or your hand whilst de-fluffing your belly button this evil thing will have you in its hold. And how on earth does it get and stay so cold?

Plus my partner walked in the bathroom mid-shower only to spot me resembling a victim from the Body Snatchers; a sure way to kill the romance of Italy.

Inspire Suffolk Supporting our young people It’s been a busy month for one of Suffolk’s leading young people charities, Inspire Suffolk. With 5 Team programmes running across the county for 16-25-year-olds to build confidence and find their next step, a specific construction course for those looking to enter the sector and gain their CSCS cards, as well as their annual Charity Ball which raised over £16,000 to support local young people in need.

Team programme is one of Inspire Suffolk’s most successful programmes ran in partnership with the Prince’s Trust. Taking place over 12 weeks, the programme supports young people who are 16-25 years old and are not in employment, education or training living across Suffolk and North Essex. It is made up of various activities designed to increase selfconfidence, motivation and self-esteem, all which play a key part in helping to find positive sustainable outcomes and really does change local lives!

Firstly, the young people involved in the course take part in an activity outward bound trip, getting involved in canoeing, abseiling and raft-building. These trips are fundamental to overcoming challenges, facing their fears, building confidence and breaking away from their current situation, making them ready to take on the rest of the course. One young person said: “Without the residential trip, I would have never put myself out of my comfort zone. I now believe in myself more and am continuing to push myself.”

Other activities including planning, fundraising and co-ordinating a project in their community to support working as a team, initiative and putting themselves outside of their comfort zone! In the past, projects have included supporting Layden’s Community Café, Felixstowe, to spruce up their garden area for its users and clearing an overgrown area at Causton Junior School, Felixstowe for the pupils to use. These projects allow the young people involved to have a sense of pride in something

Not a Drop in the Ocean

Doing their part to safeguard Felixstowe’s environment with this fantastic local litter-free and plastic-free campaign When BBC’s Blue Planet II highlighted the plastic issue in our seas earlier in the year few, including Sir David Attenborough himself, could have predicted its impact on individual behaviour.

In Felixstowe, over just a few months, 1200 people joined a new group called Plastic-Free Felixstowe allowing members to share ideas and initiatives to reduce plastic waste in their lives. Through the campaign called ‘Not a drop in the ocean’, the group have been determined to try and make a difference across the town. Now with Community Interest Company (CIC) status, PlasticFree Felixstowe has been announced as a finalist in the national Groundworks Community Awards 2018.

38

The Felixstowe Magazine - WINTER 2018

Everyone is aware of the impact of plastics in the sea, so the focus is on galvanising people to take action whilst inspiring the next generation to make changes. Working with shops and businesses in the town, there has been a growing response with companies switching to paper bags, straws and wooden cutlery whilst promoting reusable carrier bags across Felixstowe.

In August, Plastic-Free Felixstowe organised their first Awareness Day for school-children who were invited by postcard to greet ‘Summer Santa’ who had arrived by water on his summer holidays to talk about plastic and litter. Dressed appropriately in Hawaiian shirt, shorts and flip-flops, Father Christmas delighted the young people with his knowledge of the environment and he engaged with them on the Pier before litter-picking on Felixstowe beach.

The feedback after the event was very encouraging. One mother posted on Facebook ‘Father Christmas inspired my 5 year old to pick up any litter she spotted on the walk home’ whilst a regular visitor to the town said, ‘we come to Felixstowe several times a year and the kids were made up that Father Christmas chose

to holiday in the same place as us. We did a beach clean together yesterday evening’. It was exactly the response the organisers were seeking and visits to schools and scout-groups have followed.

The group are now keen to take further positive action and are launching an ambitious plan called ‘Litter-Free Felixstowe’. Debbie Bartlett explains the new initiative; ‘We have been delighted with the success of Plastic-Free Felixstowe but we are aware that people want to do much more to ensure that plastic doesn’t end up in the sea’.

‘We will be including beach areas, woods and grass verges, river banks and parks in our campaign,’ said Debbie.

‘We want Felixstowe to be the UK’s first litter-free town’. To achieve this, large numbers of volunteers are needed. It is also hoped that companies will add their weight to ‘Litter-Free Felixstowe’. The group wants to encourage businesses, whether large or small, to pledge at least one day per annum to involve their staff in a litter-pick as well as looking at their use of plastics, eliminating single-use and recycling effectively.

The launch of Litter-Free Felixstowe took place on 18th November starting at Brackenbury Green in Old Felixstowe.

The organisers were encouraged by the number of volunteers who turned up to litter-pick on a crisp Sunday morning.

Over 70 people collected nearly 35 kilos of rubbish from the beach and surrounding areas. Residents of all ages worked together to gather the litter and it was clearly a fun event which created a lot of interest in further litter-picks across the town.

Anyone wanting to sponsor activities or pledge support should get in touch via the group’s Facebook page or website.

As Debbie concludes, ‘We hope people will want to get involved – this is a local response to the global crisis in our oceans’.

There’s no better way to feel closer to our town than getting to know our neighbours Originally from West Bromich, local lady Sarah Diane Caddick moved to Felixstowe and despite suffering from ME she has mastered the ability to make the most out of life and staying active with all the things she’s passionate about.

We met Sarah to find our about her new poetry book, how she copes with ME and two new kittens!

Tell us how you came to Felixstowe and what you love the most about the town?

I moved here in 1988 when I was in my 20s, to start teaching at a local school.

I love Suffolk; the flat countryside, the estuaries, the pretty little villages, and especially the sea.

Felixstowe is a lovely friendly town. So many good plays you can go to, Music in Felixstowe, just so many things. And Susan Hawkes’ amazing plays. So many drama groups. It’s a small enough town to be

friendly but just so much going on as well.

It’s so lovely that the sea has so many different areas and sections to it that have their own feel to them, like the ferry and the Spa gardens.

You’re a teachers, tell us about your career in teaching?

I studied in York for my BA Hons in Drama and French and later decided to train to be an infant teacher. So I got my PGCE in Northampton and specialised in one of my greatest loves, music.

When I arrived in Felixstowe, I taught in a local school for a total of 14 years. There I taught all subjects but was mainly in charge of music, playing piano and flute. I also read poetry to my pupils and encouraged them to do their own creative writing.

I particularly adore working with children becasue I love how they’re in the moment and have a fresh view. I also love playing and having fun. When I was very ill with ME, my friends’ children used to sit on the bed with me and we used to share and read books together. It was always lovely.

Why did you stop teaching?

After struggling with ME for several years I sadly had to take medical retirement.

It must be something for someone who is so used to an active lifestyle, how did life change?

I began writing poetry at an early age and was always encouraged by my parents. I won my first poetry competition at 5 years old. I find poetry is a wonderful therapy for expressing feelings and encouraging healing through finding your own truth. During the last 25 years there have been some periods when the emotional ups and downs of my relationships and my health have inspired my poetry more than ever. For several years when I had to spend a lot of time in bed, unable to walk or even read more than a few lines, poetry writing became even more important to me. It was one of the few hobbies that I could still pursue. I find that it helps me to express my frustratin and transports me to another world, inspired by the beauty of nature, love and my spiritual beliefs.

Can you tell us about your poetry book?

It’s called Loving for the Soul and is full of poems that are a journey though some of the highs and lows of my life and my illness during the last 25 years. Some poems are factual and others are fictional, inspired by someone or something, whether it is the thrill of falling in love, the pain of seperation or jealousy, the frustraton of illness, or the feeling of spiritual peace.

For all of us, life is a rollercoatser with its ups and downs, but I decided to turn this into poetry. When we open our hearts to love, we become vunerable. We can be hurt and feel intense pain, but it’s only by opening ourselves to love that we can experience wonderful magic of intimacy and closeness with another. Maybe the answer lies in the connection to the deep spiritual love of the Universal God. When we experience loving another from this vast sea of unconditional love, maybe we are loving from the soul?

I hope that my poems resonate with my readers’ experiences of love and life. I hope they bring comfort or inspire someone, or maybe just bring a smile to their face.

My dear cat, Pebble, died a couple of months ago at 21 (nearly100 in human years), a loyal faithful companion and I’ve dedicated the poetry book to her.

That’s lovely. You have two new kittens now!

Yes, now I’ve got Roman and Sparkle my two new black kittens. I’ve named them as such because I met them on 5th November so they’re firework names. In recent months my health has improved considerably so I felt I could take care of Roman and Sparkle with the help of my partner, Brian and my family. It’s very physical work to have these two! No regrets though. The house doesn’t feel a home without a pet. And with ME I find that they’re a positive distraction.

“

I find poetry is a wonderful therapy

What is ME? Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) as it is often called is a long-term condition characterised by a whole range of neurological symptoms and signs. You can feel like you haven’t slept for days and you have severe flu. It’s like an all-encompassing exhaustion with whooziness, brain fog, nausea, digestive problems, headaches, burning muscles… But different people have different symptoms and combinations of these symptoms.

The fatigue in ME/CFS is post exertional, often delayed and quite unlike fatigue experienced by healthy people.

ME is still a misunderstood condition.

I’ve been very lucky and my family and friends have really supported me. Some people don’t have that. My mum and step-dad live nearby and I’m very lucky that they give me a lot of support physically and emotionally.

At it’s worst, I was severaly ill with it about 3-4 years. I couldn’t stand and I couldn’t even hardly sit up in bed. I had to be fed.

I could only talk for a few minutes. I was like that for a few months.

I try to re-create the essence of the activities I once loved

It took two months before I could stand. It was 18 months before I could live on my own and then a I had to have 3 carers a day.

There are some people who have had ME so much worse. There are so many levels of it and so much in between. My friends and family know how bad it can be as they’ve known me when I’m fully well and at my worst. So they understand. It’s a fluctuating disease. Every day is different and it’s a hard condition to manage and pace.

How do you cope with the condition?

There are many things I do to help me. A while ago I wrote an article called, Capturing the Essence, which was published in the ME Association magazine. It’s all about how you can still find and re-create the ‘essence’ of an activity that you love. Find those things that you love about the activity, the things that make you feel happy, and recreate this in a way you can physically do. For example, I loved teaching, but not being able to do that now, my friends will bring their children over and we’ll read together. Or I love to performing drama and poetry, so I’ll read plays and poetry like a performance to my family and friends.

I used to be a keen swimmer and now I can do it again with a hoist. And in the seas floating about rather than swimming. There always ways you can adapt what you once loved to do. I’m very lucky to have a beach hut which makes it possible for me to stay out several hours as I can rest inside on a sun lounger.

I have a lot of interests like being part of the Felixstowe Community Choir, it’s wonderful to do that. I play the piano and like to play duets with friends at home when I have the energy. Flute takes a little more energy so don’t do too much of that. When I’m able I like to help with toddler singing in a local nursery school in Felixstowe.

I adore the theatre. Sometimes I only go for half the performance if I get tired. It’s the same with meals out, I have to leave halfway and ask for my meal to be packed for me to take away. But that’s the thing of capturing the essence; it’s all about adapting everything so I can still do what I love. Many activities I love I have at my house, like poetry reading, plays, piano and Bridge. This way I can rest when I need to.

Pacing is so important with this condition. I have at least four rest/ relaxation periods a

day. When I rest, I don’t tend to sleep but instead I focus on breathing and calming the body. Also I visualise the next activity I’m going to do, going well. I also use mindfulness meditation and Reiki.

I’m a very spiritual person and belong to a few spiritual groups. I was brought up Christian but I have a wide view of spirituality. I met some really lovely people from all over the world. None of these people have ME but it’s just being part of such a wonderful group and so supportive. Despite the ME, I actually have a very rich life in many ways.

I use Emotional Freedom Technique, an alternative treatment for physical pain and emotional distress. It’s also referred to as tapping or psychological acupressure. I’ve found that EFT works really well for me. Any long-term condition pulls you down so all these different techiniques really really help.

I also have Perrin technique from an osteopath and I use supplements and have a gluten free diet.

That’s really interesting. How have local people and services been to help support you?

Amazing! Felixstowe is truly amazing in this way. FACTS, (p.100) are absolutely brilliant. I don’t know what I’d do without them. I use them so much to meet friends on my powered wheelchair for a meal or going to the toddler group to help. They’ve even taken me to choir and also appointments.

My life would be very different without them.

I also go to Positive Pals (p.104), the local Felixstowe support group. They meet once a month to support people with ME. And the Optimum Health Clinic which is Londonbased but are great at provided holistic treatment etc. The Optimum Health Clinic facebook page is a support group. There I get some great advice about handling ME. I do hope that in reading this article, that people can get to understand ME more and those who might have it, can see how much more their life can improve despite the condition.

New Stained Glass Windows Bring Colour to St. Felix Church Thomas Denny’s beautiful stained glass windows now adorn St. Felix Church A pair of new stained glass windows by renowned craftsman, Thomas Denny have been installed at St Felix Church in Felixstowe, following a bequest from a congregation member.

These are significant because they have been designed and made by Denny, one of the leading stained glass artists of the day, Thomas Denny, who has produced noteworthy glass for the Cathedrals at Durham, Gloucester, Hereford and Leicester, amongst many other commissions.

When parishioner Marlene Strachan died last year she left a generous £10,000 bequest to pay for a stained glass window in the church, on the theme of The Divine Mercy - a representation of Our Lord Jesus Christ showing mercy and compassion to the world.

Looking to fulfil the request, Fr John Barnes had, four years before, seen some of Thomas Denny’s work at nearby Stutton Parish Church where he had created a Millennium window.

“I thought it was one of the best pieces of contemporary stained glass that I had seen, and resolved that if ever I had a hand in commissioning a window, then the artist who had created this one, Thomas Denny, would be the man whom I would want to use,” he said.

“Ecclesiastical art and artists’ expert Dr Peter Burman agreed that Thomas would be the right artist to approach. I was delighted when he agreed, and found him a most charming and amenable person to work with,” said Fr John.

Thomas has created over 60 stained glass windows including for Durham Cathedral (the Transfiguration Window), for Hereford and Gloucester cathedrals, Tewkesbury Abbey and Malvern Priory. He was also responsible for the 44

The Felixstowe Magazine - WINTER 2018

Richard III windows at Leicester Cathedral and created the Wisdom Window at St Catherine’s College, Cambridge.

Working with craftswoman Elizabeth Hippisley-Cox from Cumberland, Thomas spent a week in St Felix in late October installing the stained glass, which had taken several months to create, in windows with lots of natural light coming in through them.

“The commission was to make a pair of windows on the theme of The Divine Mercy visions experienced by St Faustina, a Polish nun who had extraordinary encounters with Christ in the 1930s,” explained Thomas.

“In one window, her vision of Jesus is depicted with red and blue light emanating from his heart, the light representing the Divine Mercy. He is standing on a shingly shore, reminiscent of the shore of Felixstowe with a curved bay and headland behind, where St Felix might have arrived in Suffolk.

“In the other window, is the figure of St Faustina in her wooden boarded monastic cell in Poland and Lithuania in the 1930s.

She is aware of the presence and reaching out to it and being affected by it. The narrative reaches across from one side of the church to the other.

“The two outer lights of each window develop the story further. In the right hand window, is the nunnery garden St Faustina would have worked in with rows of spinach and lettuce, also a landscape suggesting her vision of roads leading to heaven and hell.

“In the left-hand window, the light of the Divine Mercy coming from Jesus spreads out across the landscape of Poland and Lithuania. There are dark fir woods and tiny distant buildings – perhaps the city of Vilnius – with figures emerging from the landscape and becoming aware of the sanctuary of Divine Mercy. It also refers to Faustina’s vision of the terrible war that was going to

come to Poland and Lithuania, which did indeed happen.

“There are a number of Polish people in the current congregation who Fr John hopes will feel a special connection with the windows,” said Thomas. The designs were seen and approved by the congregation and by a diocesan committee.

The windows were created in a series of stages over several months back in Thomas’s Dorset studio, made in fundamentally the same way as the existing 19th century windows.

Thomas specialises in a method called acid etching, of which there are medieval equivalents. It involves clear glass being covered in a thin layer or two of coloured glass during the glass blowing process.

In this case, the clear glass was covered in a layer of red glass then either green or blue glass, parts of which are removed by the acid etching.

“You can get a lot of subtle nuances of the colours using this method,” said Thomas.

“The windows are then erected against a light to add the paint, which is more like drawing on the black details on the surface which is then fired.”

Acid etching for each section of the windows (called a light) takes a week and then the painting takes a month.

“Using old techniques helps to make something new more at home in an older setting,” said Thomas.”

Fr John said, “Now the windows are in place, both I and the parish are delighted with them. Thomas’s style is very distinctive, using very rich colours and somehow achieving both a glowing and a sparkling quality. His windows are full of detail, and the longer one looks, the more one sees.”

So, just over 100 years after stained glass windows were installed in the east end of the church behind the altar, the new windows have now brought colour to the west end.

Thomas Denny’s glass has remarkable quality. He uses deep rich colours, but achieves a memorable sparkle and liveliness.

The windows are full of detail, which gradually become apparent as the viewer looks at it.

The windows will be blessed by Bishop Alan Hopes at a Mass at 11am on November 18, at which Thomas will be present.

St.Felix church is open everyday, from dawn to dusk, and everyone is most welcome to come in and look at the new windows for themselves. http://thomasdenny.co.uk/ The Felixstowe Magazine - WINTER 2018

Mystery Shopper THE BOARDWALK

Reviewing everything local, here’s our elusive Mystery Shopper By definition a ‘boardwalk’ is an elevated footpath built with wooden planks but in Felixstowe it means so much more. The Boardwalk Café Bar, now known simply as ‘the Boardwalk’ is part of the multi-million pound redevelopment at the Pier. It has become extremely popular as a relaxed but stylish eating place, attracting a range of customers of all ages.

In the summer, the restaurant is alive with the bustle of holidaymakers and residents mingling in the sunshine under the distinctive red parasols which line the outside area. I wondered how this place, which maximises its location with magnificent views of the sea, would feel on a gloomy, grey, autumn day. Of course the tables still line the outside area but in winter although overhead heaters keep temperatures at a reasonable level, most diners are now understandably drawn to the warmth of the café inside.

46

The Felixstowe Magazine - WINTER 2018

Elegantly decorated the inside of the café is just as welcoming. The extensive, classic menu is unchanged from the summer and the friendly staff greet in the same enthusiastic way. Immaculately clean, there are tables and booths for families, individuals and for couples. The bar area is social and has a range of cocktails, beers and smoothies. At the end of the bar, the large glass cabinet displays tempting handmade cakes.

Breakfast is served from 9.30am -11.30am with everything from toast and jam to eggs benedict. At lunch, the Boardwalk switches to Paninis and ‘Lite bites’ including satay skewers and deep fried whitebait. Children are also welcome and the ‘Little Sailors’ menu gives youngsters a reasonably priced array of traditional kids meals. Serving pasta, salads, burgers, steak and chilli dishes. Fish, is the real speciality of the Boardwalk, and the portions are extremely generous.

The evening provides live music and a lively atmosphere but the Boardwalk’s main appeal is its casual and relaxed style. Customers are attracted to its easily accessible facilities, excellent location and stunning views. Add to that, friendly young staff who are eager to please and you have the recipe for a Felixstowe dining destination with a very bright future.

Five Men of Burgh A stunning new commemorative book for the Suffolk lives taken in WW1 In view of the centenary of the end of the First World War in 1918, there has been a particular emphasis upon that war this year, though we must always remember the soldiers who have fought and sometimes died in other conflicts – the Second World War, Korea, Kenya, Cyprus, Suez, Aden, Northern Ireland, the Falklands, Iraq, Bosnia and Afghanistan, to name some of them.

In researching the stories of the men, Shane learned that three of the five men, Herbert Hughes, William Chenery and Horace Sherman, had all joined the Army before the war, so they were experienced soldiers – that was their career. The fourth, Albert Last, though a railway clerk, was also the son of a retired soldier, so it is perhaps no surprise that he volunteered immediately after the war started in September 1914. The fifth soldier to die, Robert Broom, a shepherd by occupation, joined up in 1916 for service with the artillery, only to be killed in April 1918.

Nonetheless, the First World War continues to have a special significance for us, which is only natural, really, when you think of the sheer numbers involved in the war effort. Nearly 750,000 men volunteered for service by the end of the first month of the war alone. Over 5 million would join up over the course of the war, about a quarter of the total male population of the country, young and old.

Robert Broom’s family and his fianceé wrote poems following his death, which could have been written by so many grieving parents and loved ones to describe their loss:

The number of casualties is still shocking to contemplate: the total number of dead for the UK was nearly 900,000. Infamously, nearly 20,000 of these were lost on the first day of the Battle of the Somme, 1st July 2016. So, for Burgh, the loss of 5 men out of a population of about 200, of whom about 45 joined up, turns out to have been fairly typical of villages throughout the country.

His fianceé Edie wrote:

A new book, Five Men of Burgh, tells the story of men listed on the village war memorial at the small village of Burgh in Suffolk. The author, Shane Hines, began writing the book shortly after moving to Burgh in 2011, so it really started as a project in 2012 and Shane has received 48

funding from a local trust and from Suffolk Coastal District Council via his local councillor, Tony Fryatt, to cover the publication costs.

The Felixstowe Magazine - WINTER 2018

Sleep on, dear Bob, in that foreign grave; Your life for your country you nobly gave.

We loved you well, God loved you best, And took you home to eternal rest.

Rest on in peace, my dear one, ‘Tis sweet to recall thy name.

In life I loved you dearly, In death I do the same.

For ever in my thoughts, From his loving Edie.

The memorial at Burgh also lists three men who died in the Second World War: Harry Paternoster, a commando who died in the Middle East in 1941; Desmond Youngs, rear gunner in a Lancaster bomber shot down over Germany in 1944 and Arthur Woods, captured at the fall of Singapore in 1942 and who died in a Japanese prisoner of war camp on Taiwan in 1945.

The dedication of the war memorial in 1919, shows Canon Page (Rector of Clopton), the Reverend G. M. Shallard (Rector of Burgh), Mark Barlow of Hasketon (who donated the land) and Captain Sutton Smith, as well as the families of the five men killed in the First World War and named on the memorial. The photograph was taken by Emily Constance Shallard (daughter of Reverend Shallard). The original photograph is now in the Imperial War Museum.

In memory of Private Herbert George Hughes, 2nd Battalion The Black Watch (Royal Highlanders) Died 12th November 1914, aged 27

Private Harry Paternoster, ‘Layforce’ commando, Suffolk Regiment Died 6th April 1941, aged 19

Private Albert Victor Last 9th Battalion, Suffolk Regiment Died 30th December 1915, aged 18

Lance Corporal William Gladstone Chenery, 9th Battalion Suffolk Regiment Died 16th September 1916, aged 23

Private Arthur Henry Woods 4th Battalion Suffolk Regiment Died 28 January 1945, aged 37

Private Horace William Sherman 5th Battalion Duke of Edinburgh’s (Wiltshire Regiment) Died 1st February 1917, aged 38

The Big Clean Out with the old, in with the new “Oosouji” is the name of an annual ritual in Japan - its literal translation is “big cleaning.” At the end of every year, usually New Year’s Eve for many families, Japanese homes are meticulously cleaned in an effort to drive out any impure influences that may have taken up residence during the previous year – to start the next year with a fresh clean home, free of clutter and welcome the gods with respect.

While we may ignore or disregard the symbolism behind this age-old custom, the end result (ie. a clean and uncluttered house), is something I’m sure we all strive for – I am striving constantly but with three dogs, I am fighting a losing battle!

If you can’t face it on New Year’s Eve you could always push it back a bit and combine it with taking down the tree and decorations!

Some hints and tips to help you get 2018 off to a good start – the Japanese way!

• Got One, Toss Two – cut the ties to old, worn or unused items and for every new item received, toss two out! You can recycle or donate but whatever you do don’t just add to the bookshelf or wardrobe or toy box, make space first.

• Mail Box Challenge – we probably all have a stack of Amazon and other boxes from the online delivery extravaganza we undertook, take at least one and fill it with as many old items as you can to donate to a local charity – how about www.basic.org.uk • Sort before you stow – bin the Christmas decorations that didn’t quite make it through the trauma of your dog or child running into it; roll the lights around a kitchen roll to make life easier next year and finally place all unused Christmas cards and paper with your decorations so you see them before you go out and buy another bumper pack for this Christmas!

• Create a toy Library – some toys have a really long shelf life and you won’t want to throw them away. Use one of your Amazon boxes and fill it with some of these. Put it away and add a note in your phone to bring it out again in a month or two. The kids will love seeing their ‘old toys’ again and you will have saved space and money!!

Just a few ideas to help you through the mess and clutter created through all the fun...hope it helps! If you need help staying on top of the housework, please call 0800 878 6388 and a Maid2Clean can give you a hand.

Health Tips Are you getting enough protein?

Now, first of all, I want to point out that I’m not an advocate of the paleo diet, nor any other fad diet which overly focuses on any one food group. Too much protein long-term has negative health consequences. But what I am talking about is whether we get enough protein as part of a healthy balanced diet.

There is a hypothesis which suggests that when we don’t get enough protein, we end up overeating, mostly in the form of high-carb, high-fat snacks, whilst our bodies are still hungry for protein but confused. A lot of people don’t have time to plan breakfast if they make time for breakfast at all, and with popular toast and cereal options providing little protein, these could kick start the day with an appetite for snacking.

This is also something to think about for those trying to lose weight through diet and exercise. Weight loss can mean muscle loss and exercise works muscles which both mean increased protein needs. Protein intake estimates for the average adult is around 0.6-0.75g of 60

The Felixstowe Magazine - WINTER 2018

protein per kg of body weight, more if you exercise, which can mean about 52.5g per day.

Protein can be found in nuts, dairy products, pulses, meat and eggs and can be quickly calculated by looking at the nutritional contents on the pack or googling it. So if you find yourself snacking, why not try a little experiment of your own and see how your appetite varies over the course of the day after trying to hit your protein target at breakfast time.

Are smootihes really a healthy option?

You see people grabbing ready-to-go smoothies from the canteen, but here’s a thought, “Are smoothies really a healthy option?”

A normal diet rich with vegetables is likely to easily give you your five-a-day, nutritionally filled diet. Considering most shop bought smoothies are fruit-based, and are lower in fibre and micronutrients, what benefit is there in having a smoothie which usually has a high sugar content?

Dark green veggie have tons of health benefits You are always better off aiming to get your vitamins and minerals in the form of a meal or whole fruit and vegetables, but if you would like to explore the refreshing delights of a good smoothies, then lean towards a greater vegetable content, especially those that are dark green, like spinach and kales. Speaking of which, adding a little lime, celerly and apple, these greens make a mean juice too!!!

Cholestoral Tips How about some clarity on one of the most misunderstood aspects of heart health?

Firstly, all your cells produce cholesterol, which plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular health and survival.

When inflammation is present in the body, however, caused by poor diet, stress, and other individual sensitivities, ‘bad’ cholesterol (LDL) increases, raising your chances of heart disease.

HDL, on the other hand, aka ‘good’ cholesterol, lowers the negative impact of LDL and can be increased through diet and healthy lifestyle habits.

Some guidelines for a healthy HDL/LDL ratio: Increase: • Good fats, particularly omega 3 fats found in oily fish, nuts, seeds, eggs (yes!) plus other fats: avocados and olive oil • Fibre: helps to excrete excess cholesterol - oats, wholegrain, legumes, vegetables, fruit • Good bacteria in organic full fat natural yogurt, unpasteurised fermented foods and quality probiotics • Water - to ensure good elimination and help reduce inflammation Reduce/cut out: • Hydrogenated/trans-fats and processed vegetable oils in packaged foods • Poor quality meats • Refined ‘white’ carbohydrates, sugar, alcohol and caffeine • Pasteurised, homogenised non-organic dairy products Good dietary habits paired with regular exercise will go a long way to help with heart health – but stress also plays a major part in increasing inflammation.

So remember to simply stop, breathe, be grateful and do nothing!

Let’s Get Physical There’s more to exercise than weight loss and here’s why.

1.

Most importantly your heart has to service every cell with oxygen and nutrient-rich blood and carry away waste products.

2.

Exercise stimulates the production of immune cells so that you can better fight common infections.

3.

Everything from walking to weightbearing activities maintains bone density and protects against brittle bones in old age.

The earlier everyone gets into good habits the better. Don’t wait for everything to head south, under 35s! So here’s to a healthy 2019!

Training for fitness and maybe more...

A few tips to help you on your fitness journey, or perhaps that marathon you never got to do Like many people it can be challenging to be consistent with exercise due to injury and general life commitments. However, no matter your training or fitness level, it is possible to get ready for a half marathon in about 6 months.

As we move into 2019 and New Year’s resolutions coming out of your ears, when it comes to new fitness goals here is a little help to get you started.

To begin with, it’s always a good idea to train with a personal trainer who can give you a thorough consultation to discuss past or present injuries or illnesses, stress factors, food consumption, sleep patterns etc. Physical examination includes checking resting heart rate, blood pressure and posture; body fat, circumferential measurements and weight are recorded and some basic resistance exercises completed. These types of sessions enable you and your coach to discuss short and longer term goals for health, fitness, weight or whatever else you want to achieve so that your coach can set you realistic and measurable targets.

62

The Felixstowe Magazine - WINTER 2018

For the the four weeks of your training you could be running continually and comfortably for 30 minutes. This is achievable if you have no injuries and can set you on the right path to get you ready for your first half marathon. You should support your training with some core exercises at least twice a week to help reduce back strains and facilitate good posture and strengthen during his running.

Invest in some new trainers. Running is tough on your joints and with any previous issues of back and foot injuries you need cushioned and supportive trainers. This in itself can be a minefield to figure out what is best. The most expensive trainers are not necessarily the ones for you. Take yourself to a running shop, and try out the trainers they advise before you buy. This will be the best investment you can make towards getting fit.

It’s easy to feel a slight sense of trepidation embarking on a training programme to do a long distance run! However, if it’s a goal of yours to really prove to yourself that you can do it, with the right guidance, basics and gear, you can absolutely achieve your goal.

By the end of your training, you will not only be ready for a half marathon run, but you will feel stronger, fitter and generally happier and more productive in all areas of life.

Watch for upcoming tips for training in following issues - and here’s to a fitter, healthier you!

IN THE

Garden

Some ideas on how to spend time in the garden this winter Although this season is more of a planning month, there are still plenty of things you can do in the garden.

On a dry sunny day, mooch about the garden and hoe out the annual weed seedlings before they get a chance to establish. Also, check birds have access to water and food.

You can also collect up leaves from lawns and put on the compost heap.

If a really cold spell is forecast, wrap insulation around any outside taps to stop them freezing.

Tasks that you know are a good idea, but somehow you never get round to doing, could be either be tackled at this time of year, or handed over to a gardening or maintenance person.

Cleaning pots ready for spring and summer planting, cleaning, oiling and 63

The Felixstowe Magazine - WINTER 2018

sharpening tools, clearing dead leaves from ponds, sorting the compost and even tidying out the shed and greenhouse are all jobs that you could ask a gardener or maintenance person to do.

Redefining lawn edges is also well worth the effort. There are some great products on the market that are excellent at keeping your lawn area clearly defined. There are edges out there for all budgets, ranging from plastic and wood to steel.

How about planting up some containers for winter interest? If you have already planted up things like winter pansies and they’re looking a bit tired, then give them a pretty serious hair-cut and within weeks they’ll bounce back with lots of new flowers. While on the subject of pots and containers, don’t forget to take saucers away so that they can drain properly – not many plants are happy sitting with their roots in water.

Just as every person has individual needs, so do plants. Treat them as such and they’ll thrive!

What your flowers say

about your personality Could your personality dictate your choice in flowers?

There’s a lot to celebrate this season and flowers are the perfect way to lighten up the heart and home of a loved one. But how do you choose the right flowers for the right person. Have you ever wondered why they’re drawn to a particular kind of flower?

Seemingly, there is a reason; we’re attracted to flowers that most closely resemble our own personalities.

For example, if you’re a fan of the bright, little poppy, then you’re vibrant, quirky and enthusiastic. You are also creative, love to learn new things, and you’re great at expressing your unique personality.

Then again there’s the iris, which translates from Greek to“rainbow,” symbolic for optimism, a quality that is an invaluable trait to you. People who are attracted to irises are artistic and have wild imaginations.

A love for tulips signifies that you have a great love for travel. Yet, although you seek change and adapt very well to it, you are rooted with a deep love for family and friends. You are sweet, sensitive, thoughtful, and charitable.

An attraction to roses show that your romantic relationships tend to run deep.

You warm to tradition and you strive for excellence and seek perfection in your life.

Lily lovers tend to have a motherly but playful nature, while those who love orchids are sophisticated. They treasure their relationship and have a small circle of very close friends. They are smart and never shy from saying exactly what’s on their mind.

If you are attracted to a violet, you are reserved, and appreciate simplicity.

A daisy girl tends to spread joy. She’s laid back, passionate about social rights, and has lots of friends.

So there you have it. Do you agree with this little list? It’s always interesting to hear what other people think of these kinds of theories, so write in and let us know if you recognise any of these traits in yourself.

Now diverting attention back to your loved one; just be sure to pick flowers that suit that person, and if you have any doubt, one of Felixtowe’s fantastic local florists will be keen to help you out.

Felixstowe Photographic Society

U3A East Suffolk The University of the Third Age (U3A) in East Suffolk is a thriving cooperative offering educational, recreational and social activities for its members, who are in their ‘third age’ — the time after they have finished working full-time or raising a family and have the time and opportunity to pursue their interests or try something new. Most members are located in the south-eastern area of Suffolk including Ipswich, Felixstowe, Woodbridge, Saxmundham, and surrounding towns and villages.

An “open house” to the over 60’s - both resident and visitors to Felixstowe. It is not a Club, so you don’t have to “join” or pay a membership fee, to be able to come in.

It is provided as a haven for Senior Citizens to rest, have some tea/coffee or other light refreshments, meet or make new friends, use our Wi-Fi facility or just sit quietly in the company of others. Come by yourself or with someone else and stay for a few minutes or a few hours. We do not provide any medical or respite care services

Flower arranging clubs and societies joined together in 1959 and formed the National Association of Flower Arrangement Societies (NAFAS) with help and advice from the Royal Horticultural Society.

The Association has been a unifying and guiding influence to thousands of men, women and juniors whose love of flowers has opened up a new world of creativity.

The Felixstowe Master Mariners The object of the Club is to maintain and foster, locally, social and professional comradeship amongst Master Mariners, and to afford the opportunity for discussion of matters nautical and general interest, to sponsor selected projects of special nautical interest, and, for that purpose, to meet regularly at luncheon or dinner, at a place selected by the Committee.

7.30pm: Thursday 27 4pm & 7.30pm: Fri 28th & Sat 29th The new Christmas show from the Common Ground Theatre Company. The year is 1793. Paris is gripped by the sans-cullottes. Heads are rolling, and no-one is safe from the roving finger of fate, the thumb of tyranny and the wrist of injustice.

The poor Compte de CremeBrulée has been hauled up by the Jacobins and is to be guillotined on the morrow. Nothing can save him except a miracle, and the

Revolutionary Committee has outlawed miracles, except on Sundays and feast days, and only with a signed chit from Citizen Chambourcy, the feared leader of the Republic. Creme-Brulée’s only hope is a daring swoop by that dashing master of disguise and echo-location, The Scarlet Pipistrelle, a mysterious Englishman, who has already undertaken several rescues of condemned aristocrats. Who knows, perhaps this time, he might actually succeed!

Tickets £14. Under 21’s £7.

FACTS

QUIZ QUESTIONS

The Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square is donated to the people of London every year by the people of Oslo, Norway, in thanks for their assistance during World War II.

1.

In Poland at Christmas, spiders or spider webs are common tree decorations. Spiders are seen as signs of goodness and prosperity at Christmas.

3.

Santa’s other eight reindeer and sleigh date back to 1823; Rudolph was only added in 1939.

2.

4.

5.

The date of December 25th was chosen to celebrate Christ’s birthday at the Council of Nicaea in AD325.

6.

The Christmas cracker was invented by a London sweet shop owner called Tom Smith. In 1847, after spotting French bonbons wrapped in paper with a twist at each end, he sold similar sweets with a “love motto” inside. He then included a little trinket and a “bang”. His “Bangs of Expectation” included gifts such as jewellery and miniature dolls. By 1900, he was selling 13 million a year.

7.

You might be surprised to know that in the northern hemisphere the earth is closest to the sun during winter. Around the 3rd January, the Earth reaches perihelion (peri meaning ‘near’ and helion meaning ‘sun’) and the earth is 3.1 million miles closer to the sun than at aphelion (around July 5 when the earth is furthest from the sun).

11.

Earth’s distance from the sun is not what causes the seasons but it does affect the length of them.

Around perihelion the earth is moving around 1 kilometre per second faster than at aphelion which results in winter being 5 days shorter than summer.

Every winter, at least one septillion (that’s 1 followed by 24 zeros) snow crystals fall from the sky.

A New Zealand insect called the Weta freezes completely solid when temperatures drop during the winter. However, when temperatures warm back up, the insect unfreezes, thaws, and resumes its activities.
