Community Groups - Don’t Miss Out On Cash Money is up for grabs but community groups in South Holland are not claiming their share.

Now local voluntary groups and parish councils are being encouraged to find out more about ‘Awards for All’ funding and to apply for a grant.

The BIG Lottery discovered a low rate of applications for its Awards for All scheme in the area and asked South Holland District Council and other agencies for help in pushing the message that money is available.

As a result a funding and information event was held at Quadring Church Hall in November,

with 27 delegates from 24 community groups taking part to find out more.

“It was extremely encouraging to see so many people attend this free event,” said Councillor Gary Taylor, South Holland’s Portfolio Holder for Stronger Communities.

“Many groups feel that in the current economic climate there are not many grants available to support their ideas and projects. I hope that this event highlights that the lottery is actively encouraging groups to apply for money and that they came away with a greater understanding of what they need to include in

an application to be successful”.

Hints and tips aimed at making a grant application more successful were given at the event, organised by South Holland District and Lincolnshire County Councils and South Lincolnshire Community and Voluntary Service.

There were presentations about various funds that are available - Awards for All grants, Lincolnshire County Council and South Holland District Council Community Grants including the PIP (People, Ideas and Places) and FLASH (Funding local action across South Holland) fund.

Race Is On For New Sports Complex The aspiration to open a new sports complex in Spalding in 2012, the year of the London Olympics, could take a big step forward this month.

On Tuesday 7th December South Holland District Council Cabinet gave the go-ahead for £10,000 to be spent on drawing up a business plan.

The council’s corporate director Andrew Petcher said he believed a business case for the scheme could be drawn up very quickly because a great deal of work had been done three years ago when the scheme was first considered.

“The project was put on hold at that time because of the economic downturn”, he explained however that “by a twist of fortune, it is now partly because of the downturn that we now have an opportunity to revive the scheme; but we may have only a brief period in which to act.”

South Holland District Council deputy leader Coun Nick Worth emphasised that the business case will be based on the project being cost neutral so that there is no increased cost to the local tax payer.

The original scheme was for a replacement centre to be built on the

edge of town but it ceased being viable when development land prices fell.

“It was a council priority to replace the sports facilities and it has remained a priority, but on the understanding that the economic situation had to be right”, Mr Petcher said.

Cllr Worth said the council hoped to consider a plan for a new centre being built at Castle Field, the location favoured by many who took part in the big consultation exercise three years ago.

He answered criticism that money had been spent on refurbishment work at the existing centre by pointing out that this work had been essential to meet customer expectations in areas like the changing rooms and had been financed through business rates discount and not through council tax.

“At the moment we are concentrating on the detailed business plan”, Cllr Worth said. “Details of the new centre itself have still to be drawn up, but a great deal of the work that’s already been done will still be relevant.”

The Snow Code

As we seem to be gripped in the middle of cold spells and much ice and snow there is much confusion over the legalities if clearing snow.

There’s no law stopping you from clearing snow and ice on the pavement outside your home or from public spaces. It’s unlikely you’ll be sued or held legally responsible for any injuries on the path if you have cleared it carefully. Follow the snow code when clearing snow and ice safely.

The snow code - tips on clearing snow and ice from pavements or public spaces Prevent slips Pay extra attention to clear snow and ice from steps and steep pathways - you might need to use more salt on these areas.

If you clear snow and ice yourself, be careful - don’t make the pathways more dangerous by causing them to refreeze. But don’t be put off clearing paths because you’re afraid someone will get injured.

Remember, people walking on snow and ice have responsibility to be careful themselves.

Clear the snow or ice early in the day Use salt or sand - not water Take care where you move the snow Finally, off er to clear your neighbours’ paths If your neighbour will have diffi culty getting in and out of their home, off er to clear snow and ice around their property as well. Check that any elderly or disabled neighbours are alright in the cold weather. If you’re worried about them, contact South Holland District Council.

Local Heroes DVD ‘Local Heroes’, the fi lm launched recently about Long Sutton’s wartime experiences, is now on sale as a DVD - and it could make the perfect gift.

Veterans from the town, an evacuee and a prisoner of war recall the very diff erent roles they played in the Second World War. The fi lm, made by Sophie Currell, of Kangaroo Kommunications, and sponsored by South Holland District Council, was premiered at Long Sutton Royal British Legion Hall on 30th November.

Stories include a fi rst-hand account of the D-Day landings, an ex-Naval man speaking about minesweeping in the North Sea and a former RAF navigator talking about his missions.

The old village school played an important role in the lives of the London evacuees who shared the classrooms with the Long Sutton pupils, each having half-a-day.

The evacuee who recounts his time at the school liked the village so much he came back after the war, married a local girl and stayed.

Cllr Paul Espin, South Holland’s Portfolio Holder of Place for Long Sutton, said he was very pleased the DVD was now available as a permanent record of a vital slice of Long Sutton history.

Cllr Espin said: “One of the reasons for doing this was to enable everybody, particularly younger people, to learn about our history and the role local people played in it.”

The DVD is available from Bookmark, The Crescent

Spalding Magistrates’ Court to Remain Open Campaigners have been celebrating as their battle has been won and Spalding Court will not be closed.

The court had been put under consultation by the new Coalition Government saying that cases could have been dealt with at Grantham but was saved by ministers and was not among the 142 that will shut across the country.

Campaigners argued that the journey to Grantham would be too far for witnesses and defendants, especially those reliant on public transport.

The court is a vital part of the town from both a justice and heritage perspective with money spent on restoration in recent years, which would have all been a waste

South Holland had seen this coming and have been putting plans in place for a few years now, thereby negating the need to cut front line services.

Firstly, a happy new year to you all! I am fairly certain however that it is unlikely to be a prosperous one with an increase in VAT, petrol and diesel rising almost daily and food shortages related to weather disasters around the world aff ecting food and clothing prices. What I do know is that you will not be getting an increase in your council tax, so some good news at least! In these notes I will concentrate on the District Council and what it is doing to save money and in February I will concentrate on the County Council.

The government announced that South Holland’s “spending power” (our grant from government, which makes up the bulk of our income, would be reduced by £1,247,000 in 2011/12 and by £800,000 in 2012/13 equalling a total reduction of £2,047,000.

In reality the cash we actually received from government in 2010/11 was £8,982,000, the cash we will be getting in 2011/12 is £7,347,000 and the cash we will be getting in 2012/13 is £6,546,000. So at the end of the day we will have received a total reduction in cash of £2,436,000 over the two years which is over £400,000 more than they actually said!

The reality of this will cause some serious problems for many district councils around the country resulting in serious cuts to front line services. Fortunately,

By jointly delivering back offi ce services with East Lindsey (Customer services, HR, I.T., Finance, Revenues and Benefi ts) we will be saving £623,000 in the coming year, which will rise year on year. We will also be saving £84,000 a year by sharing a chief executive with Breckland in Norfolk and a further £350,000 a year by having a shared senior management team with Breckland, giving us yearly savings of over £1million a year.

On top of this the district is negotiating a variety of savings with our leisure provider as part of a new contract which will provide further savings in excess of £200,000. A number of staffi ng posts throughout the council, that have become vacant in the last year or so, will not be fi lled providing further savings to meet our overall savings target.

As in previous years myself, the leader of the Council and the portfolio holder for fi nance will be answering questions on the proposed budget in a live webcast from the council chamber on Monday 24th January. You are encouraged to send in email or text questions either live on the night or prior to the event. Details will be available on the council website www.sholland. gov.uk The Holbeach Conservation Management Plan is now out for consultation.

This will allow planning offi cers to enforce breaches of planning in the conservation area and have more control over applications for future takeaways and the appearance of shop fronts among a range of recommendations. There is also a proposal to extend the conservation area to include the cemetery chapel.

A copy of the management plan will be available at the Parish Council offi ces and in the Library and also on my own website www. nickworth.btck.co.uk

Advice

Should You Be

Getting Help With Your Housing Costs?

More and more people are going to be struggling to aff ord their essential housing costs, such as rents, mortgages and council tax, as the recession bites.

D

iane Clay, Manager of South Holland CAB, says that they are fi nding that many people are not claiming benefi ts to which they are entitled.

“There seems to be a very common misunderstanding that you can’t claim any help with your council tax, or any other benefi ts, if you own your own home or if you are working”, she says.

What is Housing Benefi t?

Housing Benefi t is a benefi t, administered by the local authority, for people on a low income to help them pay their rent. You may be able to get Housing Benefi t if you are on other benefi ts, work part-time or work full-time on a low income. You cannot get Housing Benefi t to help with the costs of a mortgage or home loan. If you are an owner-occupier, you may be able to get help with your mortgage interest through Income Support, incomebased Jobseeker’s Allowance, income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) or Pension Credit. Housing Benefi t does not help with the Council Tax, but if you are on a low income you may be able to get Council Tax Benefi t to help pay your Council Tax. To get Housing Benefi t you must pay rent. It does not matter if your landlord is the council, a housing association or private landlord. You can also claim Housing Benefi t if you rent a room in a hostel, or are a boarder. You can claim it if you share a fl at or a house and can get Housing Benefi t as a joint tenant or a sub-tenant. There are a few exceptions, such as not being eligible if you rent from a close relative, which you may need to explore further.

You can only get Housing Benefi t if you are responsible for paying the rent for your home, or live with your partner who is responsible for the rent. Only one member of a couple who live together can claim Housing Benefi t. You must also live in the accommodation for which you are claiming Housing Benefi t.

What is Council Tax Benefi t

Council Tax Benefi t is a benefi t for people on a low income to help them pay council tax.

Like Housing Benefi t, it is paid by your local authority. If you are entitled to Council Tax Benefi t, your council tax bill is reduced.

Remember to check that you are paying the right amount of council tax. You may qualify for discounts, instead of or as well as council tax benefi t, because you live on your own, or a reduction because you are disabled. If you have a ‘severe mental impairment’ such as Alzheimer’s disease, or if you are under 18, you don’t have to pay council tax at all.

If you have to pay Council Tax, you can claim Council Tax Benefi t as long as your capital and income are low enough. If you live with your partner, only one of you can claim Council Tax Benefi t and your income and capital will be assessed together. Even if you own your home or are working full time, you may still be entitled to help.

You must be living in the UK to claim Housing and Council Tax Benefi t. If you are from overseas or have recently come to live in the UK you may have diffi culty claiming the benefi t, depending on your immigration status.

Get help!

If you are not sure about your right to claim benefi t, you should consult an experienced adviser, for example, at a Citizens Advice Bureau or at your local council offi ces. At CAB we can calculate your entitlement to these benefi ts, but we will need to know details of your household, your income and your capital, as all these have an eff ect on your entitlement.

Pension Credit, without making a claim!

We also wanted to fl ag up a new initiative by the Pension Service, which may cause concern to some elderly people. The Pension Service is looking at new ways to reach pensioners who may be eligible for Pension Credit by paying a small group of people without them making a claim!

8 SIMPLY HOLBEACH www.simply-holbeach.co.uk

From 15 November, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is running a pilot scheme in which it will pay an estimated amount of pension credit to 2,000 people without them fi rst having to make a claim. The amount will be based on the DWP’s records of people’s fi nancial circumstances. The DWP has said it will never ask anyone to pay back any payments it makes under the scheme.

The DWP has set up a Pension Credit Estimate Team to oversee this scheme. People taking part in the trial can call the team free on 0800 587 8924. Lines will be open from 8.30 am to 4.00 pm, Monday to Friday.

The DWP will send a letter to people included in the scheme to notify them of this. It will do so three to four weeks before their fi rst payment. People who do not want to receive pension credit without making a claim can contact the Pension Credit Estimate Team.

There is more information about receiving pension credit without making a claim on the DWP website at www.dwp.gov.uk and on the Directgov website at www.direct.gov.uk.

Preventing colds and flu Many people believe vitamin C can cure the fl u Echinacea and echinacea can prevent colds.

There’s no harm in it.”

“Unfortunately, this has been found to be no more eff ective than a placebo.”

Getting cold or wet

The only thing that can cause a cold or fl u is a cold or fl u virus. Getting cold and/or wet won’t give you a cold. However, if you are already carrying the virus in your nose, it might allow symptoms to develop.

A study at the Common Cold Centre in Cardiff found that people who chilled their feet in cold water for 20 minutes were twice as likely to develop a cold as those who didn’t chill their feet.

The authors suggest that this is because some people carry cold viruses without having symptoms. Getting chilled causes blood vessels in the nose to constrict, aff ecting the defences in the nose and making it easier for the virus to replicate.

“Getting a cold from going out in the cold or after washing your hair is a myth,” says Dr Joshi.

Getting fit f r

the new year!

By Kate Gibbard

Christmas is over and it feels like you’ve overdone the mince pies and pudding. Now is the time to beat those post-holiday blues and burn off the excess calories.

Easier said than done, I hear you cry?

W

ell, with a bit of determination and encouragement, you really can get fi t and lose those extra pounds. To give you a helping start, we’ve put together some ideas. But fi rst, here is a statistic that should kick start you into action: According to research, on average you consume 6,000 calories on Christmas day. Now, to burn off 6,000 calories you would need to do roughly: • 1715 minutes of walking (over 28 hours).

• 2143 minutes of cleaning windows (over 35 hours).

• 858 minutes of football - that’s playing, not watching!

Your age and weight would have an eff ect on these fi gures, and they’re only approximations, but they certainly give pause for thought. If you’re feeling really brave, why not check out the Food Standards Agency’s website www.eatwell. gov.uk? Their healthy diet section has a useful calorie calculator that shows you how much exercise you need to do to work off a certain number of calories. There is also lots of information about healthy eating and eating well.

Whether you want to lose weight, get fi t or 12 SIMPLY HOLBEACH www.simply-holbeach.co.uk

just tone up in time for your summer holiday, there are lots of fun and cost-eff ective ways to get started.

Your diet There are many types of diets out there - from the Atkins diet to fi xedmenu diets. But if you don’t want to get bogged down, why not just make an eff ort to eat a healthy balanced diet?

When you reach for that packet of crisps or chocolate bar, why not swap it for a piece of fruit or a healthier alternative? Not only will this help you take more nutrients into your diet, but you’re also helping yourself to achieve that all important 5-a-day portions of fruit and veg.

Think about what you’re eating; make healthy choices when you shop.

If you want to look at following a specifi c diet, talk to a qualifi ed nutritionist or diet specialist for professional advice.

But exercise is boring!

We’ve all used this excuse before but exercise really doesn’t have to be a chore. If jogging round the park or hitting the treadmills isn’t your thing, why not pick an activity that you enjoy or that you’ve always wanted to try? Salsa classes, yoga, swimming, pilates (not just for women!), weight training (not just for men!) aqua fi t, martial arts - even rock n roll lessons if that takes your fancy!

The Department of Health recommends that adults should do at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity fi ve times week, so the trick is to do something you enjoy.

Get motivated to move

If you fi nd it hard to stick at something, why not ask a friend or group of friends to join you? It’s much harder to back out of something if you’ve got other people to keep you motivated.

I’m too busy to exercise!

If you’re pushed for time, you just need to get creative with the time you have. Can you walk your children to school rather than drive? Perhaps you can walk part of the way?

Do you really need to drive to the local shop? If you work in an offi ce that has a lift and stairs, make sure you take the stairs. The housework has got to be done at some point, so why not put more eff ort into it? Scrubbing, mopping and hoovering vigorously will soon get you out of breath! While you’re waiting for tea to cook, switch on some music and get exercising. Don’t take your car to the local car wash, get outside and wash it yourself.

Why not check out the opening times of your local gym? You’d be surprised how early they open - you might fi nd you can fi t in a session before work. Or maybe you could go in your lunch hour?

Beating depression, stress and insomnia Not only can exercise reduce the risk of health conditions like diabetes, blood pressure and arthritis, but it can make you feel better emotionally.

When we’re feeling stressed or depressed, it’s easy to give in to comfort eating, which can develop into a vicious circle. However, exercise can help reduce your stress levels and improve your mood. Doing regular exercise is also a chance to escape from the pressures of everyday life and meet new people. By using up energy, you’re also helping yourself to a good night’s sleep.

depression, grief and much more. Alternative therapies can often not only help with the physical weight loss but the symptoms behind the initial weight gain.

Always make sure you seek advice from qualifi ed professionals only.

According to the Royal College of Psychiatrists, there are a whole range of benefi ts to keeping active including being more likely to feel good about yourself and being less likely to have problems with concentration and memory.

New Year’s resolutions for your pet

The New Year brings the opportunity for a fresh start; a refocus on those things that are important to you – so that includes your pet, right?

First thoughts for resolutions often turn to diet and exercise – most of us will have over indulged over the holidays, but when it comes to being a good pet owner there’s more than just diet and exercise to think about.

So, here are Rooke’s top tips for giving your pets a better year!

Exercise Regular exercise not only provides great health benefits for your pet, but a simple daily walk can help a dog learn proper manners and it gives you quality bonding time with your pet. Not only that, it does you good too – win, win!

Ensuring your pet is the right weight reduces the risk of heart and joint problems, diabetes, and a host of other poor health conditions.

While some pets are unquestionably on the pudgy side, most people don’t realise their pets are overweight. Some diseases (Hypothyroidism, Cushing’s Disease, etc.) can cause weight gain, so it’s important to check regularly.

Here are a few signs to look out for, which may tell you your pet is overweight • You can’t feel the ribs with gentle palpation of the sides • There’s no visable “waist” - an indentation in the area between where the ribs end and the hips begin • You can’t feel the hip bones when palpated with gentle pressure?

• Your pet has trouble or is slow to rise or move about • Your pet reluctant to exercise • Your pet tires easily with activity

If you would like to check your dog’s weight, head in store to Rooke’s and use their weighing scales for FREE! General check-up Regular visits to the vet is the best way to stay ahead of potential problems. This year, book your pet in for examinations of teeth, heart/lungs and body condition. In the long run this will save you money as any problems can be spotted early, it’ll also save your pet suffering needlessly from complications of preventable problems.

And, if you remember the regular check-ups, it gives your veterinarian a good “baseline” of information about your pet, so when something isn’t quite right the vet is able to compare against the information they have and determine exactly what is wrong.

Diet Just like us pets with a poor diet will pay the price. Feeding your pet low quality food can cause poor skin, a shabby coat, lost muscle tone and obesity. And it’s not just their main feed that’s important, consider the treats and tidbits they receive too. A diet rich in table scraps is not a healthy one and it can lead to problems. Just because your pooch gives you puppy dog eyes, don’t always give in!

Grooming With a fresh start you want a fresh pet! No one likes a smelly pet. Make sure you regularly groom your pet.

Basic grooming activities should include – • A bath • Toe nail clipping • Brushing out the coat • Parasite control (predominantly flea and worms)

23 High Street, Spalding PE11 1TX Tel: 01775 713005 www.rookespetproducts.co.uk 18 SIMPLY HOLBEACH www.simply-holbeach.co.uk

This general care regime will not only make your pet more pleasing to be around, but it is much healthier for them too!

If your pet has skin or coat problems that don’t resolve with regular grooming, see your veterinarian. If you need advice on the best way to cut your pet’s nails and the clippers you should use ask our friendly staff in store at Rooke’s.

be freezing with feet of snow before you return!

Love and attention Make sure this year you give your pets the love and attention they deserve. Too many pets are left outside in all kinds of weather, with very little human contact. And those inside are sometimes ignored for lack of time and busy human schedules.

Safety Every year hundreds of pets are poisoned in their own home! Make sure it doesn’t happen to your pet. Take a moment to assess the toxic chemicals used in your house and garden. Only use those that are necessary, make sure you follow all the safety precautions and store them somewhere your pet cannot access them.

Give your pet some tender love and care and they’ll return the favour by the bucket load! And as a result they can improve your health too by lowering cholesterol, lowering blood pressure, reducing stress levels and providing you with better mental health too.

Here are a few signs to look out for, which may tell you your pet has been poisoned • Muscle tremors or seizures • Vomiting and or diarrhea, sometimes with blood • Excessive salivation - drooling or foaming • Redness of skin, ears, eyes • Mental depression or excitement (may be easily excitable) • Bleeding (as with rat poison ingestion) • Ulceration or blisters of the mouth or skin • Excessive pawing at the mouth, excessive licking • Swelling (i.e. of a limb or face, commonly seen with insect bites and stings) • Elevated or depressed body temperature (elevations usually due to increased muscle activity -- tremors, seizures)

Volunteer

But it’s not just poisonous substances that pose hazards to your pet, think about their enclosure too. Make sure any fencing is secure and there is nothing your pet can get caught up or hooked on and choke.

Also, if you go away to catch some winter sun or hit the slopes, make sure your pet isn’t stuck out in the weather while you’re away and have adequate shelter. It may not be too cold when you leave, but with the UKs unpredictable weather it could

Don’t just consider New Year’s resolutions for your own pets this year. There are thousands of animals in need of help each day. Why not volunteer your services and see what you can do to help. And if this is too daunting or you don’t have a great deal of spare time financial donations or donations of supplies is always appreciated. Every little helps! Why not consider volunteering at the Exotic Pet Refuge Visit www.exoticpetrefuge.org.uk or contact Pam on 01778 345923.

Cleaning There are a few aspects of pet care that people will avoid if they can, but they’re necessary to ensure our pets have a happy life, this includes: litter box scooping, garden clean ups, cage cleaning and fish tank maintenance.

A clean environment for our pets is a healthy one! Poor sanitation can lead to behavior problems (i.e. litter box avoidance) and health problems such as skin infections and the spread of communicable diseases. So, don’t cut corners, make a resolution this year to clean for your pet regularly.

Make 2011 the year you make good on your resolutions and keep your pet on the path of good health and happiness.

Happy New Year! www.simply-holbeach.co.uk SIMPLY HOLBEACH 19

Home & Property

Don’t forget the lights!

When you are decorating your room don’t forget to give your lighting some consideration.

Diff erent lighting styles and techniques are available that can help boost your décor in achieving that ‘wow’ factor, it can also help to enhance the nice aspects of the room, and disguise the bad ones. However, to create maximum impact, consider your lights carefully; the fi ttings you choose for your room are the most important accessory, get it wrong and the eff ect could be disasterous!

T

he light we use comes from two main sources - natural and artifi cial.

Natural light comes from the sun or from combustion sources, such as fi replaces and candles. Artifi cal lighting is generated by electricity and falls into three main types; ambient, accent and task.

Ambient lighting; is the general, everday lighting that you would normally use in the room Accent lighting; is used to create drama to a specifi c area or item Task lighting; provides targeted light enabling various tasks to be completed safely and comfortably

So what lighting do you use where?

Firstly consider what moods you want to be able to create in each room, for instance:- The use of the room - is it used mainly during the day or at night? Is it an area for study or entertaining? Is it a room that has to cater for various tasks for both adults and children? If so, think about how you are going to style it to meet both demands The colours of your room – is your room light and airy? Or does it have a warm, cosy décor? Remember, pale colours refl ect light, dark colours and material absorb light so be aware of how much daylight the room receives and for how long The positioning and density of furniture - play with your layout, think about the diff erent uses you want from the room, if you have a large open space think about creating diff erent zones. If there a specifi c piece of artwork or areas that you want to accenuate think about the best way to achieve this Size and positioning of windows - remember natural light can provide a variety of eff ects throughout the day; from making the room feel light and airy to subdued and tranquil so consider how much natural light your room gets and try to utilise it as much as possible

Next stage think about each specifi c room and the tasks completed therein:- Kitchens and utility areas require bright general lighting and task lighting for the countertops and preparation areas. So under cupboard lighting and strategically placed small lights are key. To help create atmosphere, lights in glass fronted cabinets or lights embedded into the kick boards are great additions, especially for those long, dark winter evenings Living rooms, dens, and family rooms require bright general lighting for the busy, hectic times during the day and early evening, strategically placed lamps for tasks such as reading and writing and then gentle, ambient lighting for when it’s time to sit back, relax and watch the TV Bathrooms and dressing tables require areas of stark light so detailed tasks can be completed, this can be achieved more eff ectively if the light fi xtures are mounted on, above or on each side of the mirror. This will help to create maximum impact by keeping shadows at bay Bedrooms and dining rooms may require some task lighting for late night reading or completing homework, but also think about adding some subtle yet sparkling lighting that can be adjusted to suit (or set) the mood!

Lastly, time to decide on what type of artifi cial lighting to use. There are many diff erent styles to choose from, but they fall into the three main categories:- Decorative Lighting – usually ceiling lights and lamps which provide the visual focus of the room and the general lighting requirements Downlighters (Spotlights) – these can be recessed into the ceiling or wall mounted and can be static or moveable

This month we welcome our new Home & Property Editor Sue Hessom to the team. Sue runs a successful interior design company, Tidy Inetriors, here in Lincolnshire and is going to share her tips of the trade with us every month. If you have a specifi c need please contact Sue via her website www.tidyinteriors.co.uk, email to tidyinteriors@gmail.com, telephone 01476 564035 or 07540 612 143 to allow the light to be focused Uplighters – these are fl exible as they can be free standing (fl oor lamp) or wall mounted. They cast light onto the ceiling to provide a nice even glow.

Wall washers – provide a focused even light on a wall area.

Whatever your requirements, consider a selection of lights during the design. Remember lighting is an integral feature of your room design so choose wisely - style and colour is imperative if you want to achieve your desired look.

“Building a foundation for the future”

Family Life

Teaching Kids to

Love Vegetables!

We all know vegetables are good for kids, but for some reason they just won’t believe us! Kids will fi nd any excuse to keep from eating their veggies. They even get quite creative about places to hide them so we think they ate their vegetables! So what can parents do to make sure their kids are getting good nutrition that includes veggies? Just use a little creativity!

First of all, you should start introducing fresh produce into your child’s diet when they are very young. If your child grows up eating fresh fruit and vegetables, they will be less likely to refuse to eat them later in life. Now even if your child loves lettuce today, don’t be surprised if they don’t like it next week. That is just the way kids are, their tastes vary from week to week. But don’t worry they will like it again someday.

If you are having trouble getting your kids to eat vegetables now, fi nd creative ways to serve them. Younger kids love little fi nger foods so have a plate of cut up veggies with dip on the table during dinner time. You will see your kids munching away on baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, and celery sticks. Something about having bite-sized food with a delicious dip gets kids

excited about them!

One of the best ways to get kids to eat right is to disguise the veggies in something else. Do your kids like fresh fruit smoothies? Throw a handful of spinach leaves in the smoothie maker and let them blend in with the fruit. You cannot taste the spinach at all and your family will get the good nutrition they need without even knowing it!

Make soups or stews that are rich in vegetables. My friend’s daughter will not eat a vegetable if her life depends on it, but she loves my homemade vegetable soup, personally I think it’ because I make it!

As a result, I am called upon to make large pots of soup and then freeze individual portions so she could eat it for a snack – and she would! Small children love interesting shapes so put fun noodles in your soups. If you use alphabet pasta kids will enjoy trying to spell their names as they eat the soup.

Getting kids to eat their vegetables can be a diffi cult task, but it isn’t impossible. Just use your creativity and never give up!

You will win and they will love their veggies someday.

HE CRUZE, which is underpinned by GM’s latest platform, represents a major leap forward for the iconic Chevrolet brand.

The car has sporty, coupe-esque styling, a good diesel engine as well as decent handling. The interior has been attractively crafted too and although the Cruze competes on price with the Kia Ceed, Hyundai i30 and Skoda Octavia, it is signifi cantly larger, making you feel like you’re getting more bang for your buck.

First impressions when you get behind the wheel are very pleasing. The dials and control panel are chic and the seats and soft-touch materials are good quality.

There’s ample room in the front but far less in the back, so taller rear seat passengers will defi nitely struggle with legroom. I would have preferred a dial rather than a lever to adjust the backrest of the driver’s seat, and there is no lumbar adjustment. That said, the seats are so supportive you soon realise you don’t need one. The boot is big too, and very accessible for a saloon car.

In diesel guise it’s a bit noisy to start with but the Chevy is smooth and hushed once up to speed. The 2.0 VCDi LT turbo-diesel automatic version, on test here,

produces 150bhp and oodles of pulling power. Its relaxed high-speed performance means you sometimes feel the car shifting through the automatic gearbox more than expected when driving up hills, but the car never feels out of puff . The only downside about having an auto box is that the average fuel economy drops to around 35mpg, whereas on the manual version of this Cruze you’d expect around 51mpg. Still, it’s pretty reasonable if you don’t like a lot of left foot work.

The Chevrolet certainly provides good levels of on-road comfort and is a truly impressive distance car, so ideal for anyone who regularly travels the UK’s motorway network. The steering is a bit on the light side and therefore feels a tad uninvolving at times, but the Cruze corners strongly, with great body control and masses of grip. It’s easily as comfortable as its rivals and with an on-the-road price tag of £16, 845 as well as a 5-star NCAP crash safety rating, it’s a lot of car for the money.

Sport

Ayscoughfee School Thrive On The Rugby Field Ayscoughfee Hall School are having a great season on the rugby pitch. Every year they organise an under 11 Tag Rugby tournament for independent schools in the area and they won this year’s event with fl ying colours, winning all four of their matches.

Brian Chittick, the headmaster at Ayscoughfee, said that the squad of 11 players from years 5 and 6, including 2 girls, did themselves proud with 100% winning success in the four games played, particularly as they were playing against much larger schools.

In the fi rst match of the round robin tournament Ayscoughfee beat The Grantham Preparatory School. They then went on to beat both Peterborough High School and Copthill before clinching the title beating Laxton Junior School from Oundle by six tries to four in the deciding game.

Players were: Molly and Archie Davies, Charles and William Hughes, Rosie Parkinson, Patrick Harrington, Willis Ingleby, Henry Wardman, Tim Moore, Conall Mason, Hugo Kedzlie

Tim Wins Volunteering Award A local volunteer has received a prestigious award for his services to volunteering in sport after being nominated by Volleyball England. This is the fi rst time in many years a Lincolnshire volunteer has received this award. Tim Barzycki, who is involved in a number of volleyball clubs in Spalding, was presented with a Torch Trophy Trust award. Tim said “I am passionate about volleyball and really enjoy teaching young people how to play as well as still playing myself.”

In 2000, with the support of Lincolnshire Youth Service he set up his fi rst club for young people which has gone on to play in local leagues against adult clubs as well as some of the young people representing the region in national competitions.

Two have represented their country for their age groups. Not content with this he was instrumental in establishing Spalding Junior Volleyball, a club for 10-12 year olds. This has now been running successfully for three years and young people from this group are now playing regularly at county level and are part of the regional training squads and have progressed to the youth squad. Most recently

a new women’s group called Volleyfi t has been started. This is to enable women to keep fi t but instead of doing repetitive exercises at a gym they learn a sport at the same time.

Writing a Good CV A great CV is probably the most important part about getting a job that you need. Your CV shows the kind of person you are and refl ects your achievements in life and is the fi rst impression you will make on any potential employer.

It is important that your CV clearly shows your personal and contact details such as your name, your address or your contact numbers inclusive of your e-mail. These should be right at the beginning so that it is clearly visible and the employers can contact you easily.

It is best if you can list your educational qualifi cations fi rst and often a table makes it easily comprehensible and pleasing to the eye. It will also show that you are well organized with your facts and will not demand any extra attention or eff ort from the reader. It is here that you must state in details about your school, college and university together with the marks obtained and other related details!

Most CV experts would advise you to next enter into your work experience facts and details. Here too, be objective and informative as you must ensure that the information that you provide helps to show your strengths and experience in a positive way! Include in details the

Make a clear list of the qualities and strengths that you have and what you can give to the company by way of these. In fact make sure that the strengths that you speak of are those that are required in the job that you are applying for so that it is of interest to the reader.

Finally on the last part of your CV include a list of references, generally a mix of personal and professional contacts are recommended. Don’t forget to include the contact details of your references too! Make sure that these are people who are well acquainted with you and if they are in a fi eld similar to the job that you have applied for then nothing better than that.
