Welcome...

The West Moors Directory

Dear Neighbours, We have an information and fun packed Directory for you this month. Inside Edition 110 there is the new West Moors map especially drawn by Julia Brown in coordination with the Parish Council. Good job.

An important date for our diaries is 13th July as it is West Moors Fun Day! We Debbie & Stephen Corney will see you there‌ From with our son, Hayden 7th July there is a World War 1 Exhibition at the library, so another one not to miss. West Moors Parish Council has also asked us to include an important notice about a survey of the memorials in the cemetery, see page 48. Nellie had a top to toe polish as well as a weekend at the Vdub at the Pub Festival, and Crazy Golf Courses has a crazy offer for you! There is a lot going on. Of course there is our usual prize wordsearch and the winner of the meal for two at the Tap and Railway last month, is Mr L. Brown - we hope you have a great night out. We also have a reader competition to win tickets to see Broadway Showtunes on page 60.

Our local trades and service people would all love to hear from you.

Keeping the work local hugely helps our economy, which keeps all the wheels turning. If you have used one of our advertisers and want to let us know how good they were, please email or send us the data. We can publish this for others to see. If you have a company yourself and want to advertise locally then please let us know too. As you know we give free space to local charities and clubs so do get in touch and let us help you.

Stephen and I hope you have a great month of June and the weather is good so we can all get out and about.

Very best wishes,

Excellent care for every patient... every day, everywhere We started 2014 focusing on a new direction for our organisation; to consistently provide high quality care across all of our services. We focused on shaping a new vision (or aim) for our hospitals and redefining what is important to us as we go about our daily work – our values.

Our values are shared beliefs that are important in the way we work. They impact on what we do and say, how we say it and how we look when we speak to patients, carers and each other. We worked with 300 members of staff, public and patients through workshops and surveys to redefine both our vision and our values.

We want to deliver excellent care for every patient, every day, everywhere. To do this, we will endeavour to live by four key values: Communicate - Say it, Hear it, Do it! We take time to listen, asking open questions to better understand and keep us all informed.

Improve - Change it! We always look for ways to improve what we do.

Teamwork - Share it! We are one team working together to achieve the best outcome for everyone.

Pride - Show it! We are proud of who we are and the care we provide together.

There are staff across our hospitals who already live by these values every day. Our aim is to ensure that we all live by them every day and for every patient.

In the Developing our Values workshops you told us you would like to be able to recognise the efforts of our staff. Here are just two of the ways you can do just that: #ThankYou! We have launched #ThankYou! – an online staff recognition site which enables you to thank a member of staff that you think deserves recognition for the care you have received. It takes two minutes of your time to submit a thank you and we will make sure the individual is aware of your nomination. You can access #ThankYou at www.rbch.nhs.uk Nominate your unsung hero Do you know an individual or team that works tirelessly in our hospitals, goes the extra mile or has made an outstanding contribution? If so you can now nominate them for an Unsung Hero Award as part of our 2014 Pride Awards. Enter online at www.rbch.nhs.uk

The West Moors Directory

Gary Cupin, Housekeeping Assistant Communicate - Say it, Hear it, Do it!

“On Ward 11 the whole multidisciplinary team builds a rapport with patients and their families to ensure they’re fully aware of any changes in their care and treatment.”

Marie Miller, Practice Educator, Ward 10/11

Improve - Change it!

“Our clinical and IT staff are joining forces to improve patient care and enhance practice. We have successfully implemented eNEWs, which enables patients to have their condition monitored via an electronic system. It automatically alerts staff if they start to deteriorate, enabling a quicker clinical response, improving safety and enhancing patient care.” Lisa Brinkman, IT Specialist Nurse

Teamwork - Share it!

“In March some of our doctors organised a number of sport challenges at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital to stimulate some inter-professional and interdisciplinary team working outside of the wards. We had a good turnout and raised over £200 for charity.” Tamsin Lillie, Junior Doctors’ President

Pride - Show it!

Every month staff working in our Emergency Department nominate a member of the housekeeping team to acknowledge who has taken pride in their work and gone above and beyond their duties. Gary Cupin, the nominee for May, said: “Taking pride in my work for me means being happy and satisfied when my area is clean.”

Law Spot ...providing the answers

to your legal questions

Every month the solicitors and lawyers at Harold G Walker will be providing answers to your questions about the law.

I’m replacing my broken fence but my neighbour says it’s in the wrong place and he’s going to make a complaint.

before commencing work so as to ensure difficulties do not later arise either as regards the materials used or the position and placement of new posts, fences or walls.

The most common reason for conflict between neighbours is a dispute over a boundary. Boundary disputes can be lengthy, costly and often difficult to resolve.

Some may even be tempted not to restore, for example a damaged hedge and to take the opportunity to scrub it out altogether and reinstate in some other form. Early discussions and sensitivity towards adjoining owners is essential to avoid misunderstandings and disputes. It is often forgotten that frequently a fence or hedge that has become overgrown does not necessarily delineate the true boundary between properties.

In the spate of the recent atrocious weather, many boundary fences will have been blown over. Trees will have fallen damaging hedges, fences and brick walls.

Insurance policies may not respond in all cases and the responsibility will lie with the tree, fence or wall owner or joint owners to effect repairs and to restore the boundaries.

Hugh Storry Deans Dispute Resolution

Frequently the precise location of the boundary will be obvious and communication with any adjoining owners is essential

My personal circumstances have changed. Can I make alterations to my existing will?

We would advise you to make a completely new Will if you need to make an alternation to an existing Will. You can revoke your Last Will at any time by destroying it or making a new Will.

You can make alterations to your Will by adding a codicil which is a mini Will but if the alterations are extensive then it would be advisable for you to prepare a new Will altogether.

Do not under any circumstances attempt to write in any additions or make an alteration to your Last Will yourself after it has been prepared. Do not permanently pin, staple or clip anything to your Last Will.

If agreement cannot be reached, the best way to determine the legal boundary is by looking at the oldest conveyance deed of the property. Subject to the wording of the deed, the plan attached to the conveyance may have measurements, a description of the boundary in question or “T” marks showing who owns a boundary feature. These days however the deeds are not always available.

It is always sensible to periodically review the provisions contained in the Last Will to consider if any change in your circumstances has altered the contents of your Will.

Changes can flow from a variety of events such as if you marry or divorce; the birth or adoption of children; a significant change to your financial status; a desire to add or change beneficiaries; or the death or incapacity of a named Executor or Trustee.

Lastly steer away from home made Wills and always seek legal advice with regard to any changes you need to make.

Wildlife News

Talking about Wildlife...

Darting Dragonflies With summer at long last here it is rewarding to watch some of the richly coloured wildlife that is now about, such as the dragonflies and damselflies darting about over our ponds and water courses. Dorset Wildlife Trust (DWT) is carrying out surveys of these short-lived species in the Purbeck region, during the coming months.

Having been living as larvae in a water bed, sometimes for a number of years, once hatched these ephemeral fliers may survive for only a few weeks; even the largest dragonflies, for example, will live for a maximum period of two months only. The survey last month revealed some of the first of the species to be on the wing, such as the Large Red and Azure damselflies, Banded Damoiselles, as well as the Four Spotted Chaser dragonfly.

Ali Quinney, carrying out the surveys for DWT, says, “On our first day of recording we were fortunate to have a really calm, bright sunny day, the perfect conditions in which to spot these beautiful creatures. Later we shall expect to see Darters, various Hawkers and hopefully some rarities; on Tadnoll Brook, the chalk stream that runs through our Tadnoll & Winfrith heathland nature reserve, we may well see Golden Ringed dragonflies.”

Azure Damselfly by Ken Dolbear MBE

Four Spotted Chaser by Ken Dolbear MBE It is often asked how one can spot the difference between a dragonfly and a damselfly. The former has a more robust body shape and flies faster, whereas the latter is more slender and dainty in its movements, tending to ‘float’ rather than to fly. Another distinguishing factor is to watch when they settle, when the dragonfly stays poised with wings outspread and the damselfly retracts its wings over its body length.

Work is to continue at DWT’s Tadnoll & Winfrith reserve, subject to planning approval, to create two more scrapes there, to encourage more of these species and other water orientated wildlife. The survey work that is now taking place is proving greatly beneficial to our existing knowledge of the wildlife in the area and all records are passed to Dorset Environmental Records Centre (DERC). Any ad-hoc reports of both dragonflies and damselflies sightings, especially if accompanied by good quality photographic images, may be sent to the Dorset Dragonfly Group at: www.dorsetdragonflies.org.uk/recording For more information about dragonflies, damselflies or other wildlife please contact DWT on 01305 264620 or visit our website: www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk

Can a garden be both beautiful and There are many different types of artificial low maintenance? longer. grasses available, from luxuriously soft, 37mm Gardens offer a natural escape. A haven from the pressures of life – it is a precious outdoor space that people relax and enjoy themselves in.

However, “I love my garden, but not the work!” is a common complaint amongst householders.

For some people life is just too busy to fit those precious gardening hours into a hectic weekly schedule. For others, whilst passionate about gardening, find that keeping on top of the mowing is getting too much.

Despite the work, most people are clear about one thing, they do not want to give up their patch of green. So what are the options for a beautiful but low maintenance outdoor space?

Some people opt for a quick and easy fix - paving over their gardens and disguising the concrete surface with pots and planters. This is not ideal, as rainwater has nowhere to go, possibly leading to flooding issues.

One more affordable and increasingly popular option is artificial grass. Artificial turf provides the perfect lawn without the mowing, mud and maintenance hassle of natural grass. Importantly, most of the artificial grasses are pet and childfriendly. Front lawn installations are just as popular as back lawns. Artificial grass can give a property instant ‘kerb appeal’ – looking tidy and well-kept all year round. According to locally based artificial grass installers Green Scheme Solutions Ltd, maintenance is minimal and an annual spruce up is all that is usually required.

Latest manufacturing technologies mean that modern fake grasses are very realistic with brown thatch woven into the root zone. Colours have changed from bright greens to more naturallooking olive shades (several different coloured yarns are used to give a realistic finished look).

The best grasses use ‘shaped fibres’ - the individual blades of grass are stronger by design which means that the lawns look great for

pile heights for an immaculate looking garden, to more affordable and hard wearing grasses with shorter pile heights.

Given the wide range and styles of grasses available, it is particularly important to get some expert advice to ensure you get a product which matches your needs. As with paint pot samples, good looking grass samples do not necessarily give you the lawn you want.

Artificial grass is an ideal choice for people wanting to enjoy their garden whilst cutting down on their maintenance workload. Local resident Nick White is very enthusiastic about his new artificial lawn: “What’s great is that rather than constantly working on the garden, I can spend quality time in the garden playing with the kids. Even our Old English sheepdog loves the new lawn.”

ARTIFICIAL GRASS = PERFECT LAWN!

Adventures of Nellie

38

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Publications Camper Van Harry at Top Shine Valet had done such a great job in valeting my little blue Citroen recently that we thought Nellie deserved a polish after all her hard work. (She has been a very busy girl!)

Harry absolutely takes pride in doing the best job possible for his clients. He uses high quality wax and pays attention to detail, including painting the wheels to give a very professional finish.

Nellie has never looked so good! A top to toe, full manicure, pedicure and facial in fact… including a deep clean massage. All from a dishy looking young bloke! What more could a girl want?

Harry has these tips and advice for you when cleaning your car or van…

“When washing your car ensure you start from the top, going down and leaving the lower parts till last as this is were most of the dirt collects.

“Avoid using a sponge as small pieces of grit and dirt will stay in the pores of it and make fine, swirl like scratches on your vehicle. As an alternative use a lambs wool or microfibre wash mit. These are less likely to pick up abrasive grit.

“Avoid washing in direct sunlight as you will find that your soap will dry quickly. Wash in the shade.

The paintwork is cooler and you will have more time to clean without having to worry about your

Harry gets a deep shine on Nellie soap leaving stubborn drying marks and spots.

“Rinse the vehicle with clean water first to remove excess mud and grit. When you have finished do not throw the remainder of your wash bucket over the vehicle. Instead use a chamois or microfibre drying towel.

“Do not use washing up liquid or detergents as they strip wax from your paintwork and speed up oxidation and fading of the paintwork. This could even contribute towards rust. Instead use a high quality PH neutral shampoo that gives a nice glossy finish.”

So, if you want a really good clean to your car both

Harry and his van with Nellie all spruced up

39 inside and out then Nellie highly recommends Top Shine Valeting. She was so shiny after her waxing that the whole house could be seen in reflection in her paint. It was quite remarkable.

There is a £10 discount on a full valet and a £5 discount on a mini-valet available if you mention ‘Nellie at Dorset Publications’, so don’t miss out on the offer!

You can contact Harry at Top Shine Valeting on 01202 855933 or 07825 157200. Also take a look at his website at www.topshinevaleting.com.

We deliberately had Nellie polished by Harry at Top Shine Valeting especially for our great weekend at the Vdub at the Pub Festival last month! Though Nellie isn’t a VW she is rather cute, if somewhat overweight. She really shined amongst the other vans!

The atmosphere in the Wimborne FC area was great: friendly, family orientated, spirit of play and the sun was shining! Hayden found two friends and they spent their time running around, playing games, on and off the bouncy castles, body zorbing and even watching a film in the friend’s converted VW. Stephen and I had time to lay around and sunbathe which I have to say is a rarity. We weren’t as prepared as usual though having worked on the magazines almost right up to leaving. This was definitely a lesson to learn! What I had done, I had very carefully packed the food…salad, tinned tuna, hot dogs, beans, all in preparation for our Nellie picnics.

Arrrr! Hayden after seeing Alfredo El Mago

The West Moors Directory

Meeting Fiffi at Vdub at the Pub What I hadn’t done was pack the tin opener or any pans! It is amazing how needed they were with what I had packed, and salad for breakfast, lunch and dinner just gets boring. Fortunately there was a food tent and the breakfast there was a welcome sight. The neighbours in the caravan behind us were really accommodating too and lent us a pan for the evening, so the hot dogs didn’t go to waste. Anyway, what we have decided to do now, in light of this experience, is have two of everything, one set in Nellie and a separate set in the house. That way I don’t have to worry about it! It is all a learning curve as the saying goes…

Hayden slept the best he has done that night in Nellie. The last time we went camping in the New Forest, Hayden had developed tooth ache literally just before leaving and that was an interesting night with him up every hour and then a trip to the dentists. This time all was well and we all slept until after 8am. Hoorah!

There were some really interesting vans at this Festival and one of the cutest was Fiffi the Ice Cream Van! What a great idea. On the sunny day we had she was a very popular van to visit!

So camping at a festival was a new experience for us and one we really enjoyed. Live music, family fun and a great atmosphere. Nellie highly recommends it. Where will Nellie go next…?

14. BE WORTHY OF TRUST Unless one can have confidence in the reliability of those about one, he himself is at risk. When those he counts upon let him down, his own life can become disordered and even his own survival can be put at risk.

Mutual trust is the firmest building block in human relationships. Without it, the whole structure comes down.

Trustworthiness is a highly esteemed commodity.

When one has it, one is considered valuable. When one has lost it, one may be considered worthless.

One should get others around one to demonstrate it and earn it. They will become much more valuable to themselves and others thereby.

14-1. KEEP YOUR WORD ONCE GIVEN When one gives an assurance or promise or makes a sworn intention, one must make it come true. If one says he is going to do something, he should do it. If he says he is not going to do something, he should not do it.

One’s regard for another is based, in no small degree, on whether or not the person keeps his or her word. Even parents, for instance, would be surprised at the extent they drop in the opinion of their children when a promise is not kept.

People who keep their word are trusted and admired. People who do not are regarded like garbage.

Those who break their word often never get another chance.

A person who does not keep his word can soon find himself entangled and trapped in all manner of “guarantees” and “restrictions” and can even find himself shut off from normal relations with others. There is no more thorough self-exile from one’s fellows than to fail to keep one’s promises once made.

One should never permit another to give his or her word lightly. And one should insist that when a promise is made, it must be kept. One’s own life can become very disordered in trying to associate with people who do not keep their promises. It is not a casual matter.

The way to happiness is much, much easier to travel with people one can trust.

People with Hearing Loss rate level of After-Care as top reason for choosing Independent Centres More than three quarters of people in the UK with a hearing loss say that the high level of after-care offered by independent hearing centres is the primary reason for choice over national outlets or the NHS, according to new research.

The survey of 360 adults was commissioned by Phonak, and found 80 per cent were likely to recommend independent centres to others looking to purchase hearing aids.

Following their experience with independents, the top three satisfaction ratings among customers are: a good after-care service, being treated like an individual and the expertise of staff.

When it comes to the most important factors for influencing their choice of hearing aid, customers highlight: the most appropriate device for their hearing, comfort, level of technology and audiologist recommendation as the top qualities.

With the average length of time being 4 years before someone experiencing a hearing difficulty visits an audiologist, the key reasons for prompting a customer to finally book an appointment were: difficulties following conversations, difficulties hearing the TV or radio and difficulty hearing their partner. Source: Phonak

The good news for you is that in your area you have Clarity Hearing Solutions. Their level of after-care has been recognised as “outstanding” by a number of the leading manufacturers. They were recently the first in England to be accredited as a ‘Consultant Approved Centre’ by Phonak.

To achieve this they had to meet very high standards of aftercare and audiological expertise.

Their after-care service includes: • 5 years supply of batteries • Free follow up visits • Regular retesting of hearing • Assisting with any repairs or servicing of aids • Loan of aids if required • Home visits if required • Same day appointments for urgent problems So if you, or someone you know, have any hearing concerns or questions call Clarity Hearing Solutions on 01202 820638.

You can be assured that you will receive knowledgeable, tailored, independent advice.

Everyone seems to enjoy our games of Bingo which follow the afternoon tea and cake. Prizes are given for the first line and full house in each game and usually we manage to fit in two games before the end of the afternoon.

If you live in West Moors, are aged 60 or over and are interested in joining us please give us a call, Club contact: transport may be arranged for those who are unable Joan on 01202 891519 to make their own way.

West Moors Parish Council IMPORTANT NOTICE

REGARDING MEMORIAL HEALTH & SAFETY CHECKS AT WEST MOORS CEMETERY West Moors Parish Council is under a statutory duty to ensure the health and safety of visitors to the cemetery and hereby gives notice that work will commence on 16th June 2014 to assess the stability of memorials in the Cemetery, Priory Road, West Moors. This will not include Cremation memorials.

This action is necessary because there have been a number of incidents in other cemeteries in England where unstable memorials have caused injuries and even fatalities to both children and adults.

The work will be completed by an

experienced independent consultant and is expected to take up to a week to complete. When a memorial is found to be unstable, the council will arrange for it to be temporary stabilised with a stake bracing mechanism that will not undermine or damage the memorial in anyway.

The Councils will endeavour to contact the grave owner to notify them that their memorial is unstable and request that they arrange for it to be repaired by a memorial mason.

If you have any questions regarding this matter please contact West Moors Parish Council on 01202 861044.

Canine Foster Carers Urgently Needed!!

Could you make a short term commitment to look after a dog until a new home can be found?

We are in great need of more foster homes for the waifs and strays that we are asked to take in. It is never possible to help them all but we could help more dogs if we had more foster carers. Fostering can sometimes suit people who have owned and loved dogs but do not want the commitment of a full-time dog.

You should be: • at home most of the day • experienced with dogs • calm in a crisis • able to take the dog to the vet when required and to our monthly Open Days • able to work as part of a voluntary team to find the right home for the dog in your care Short term fostering requires looking after a dog as if it were your own (whilst trying not to fall in love with it) for as long as it takes to find a new home for it.

Money Saving Tips

Martin

LEWIS Bank Accounts

Once upon a time, bank accounts were ugly creatures that bit hard when you went overdrawn, and gave nowt back when you were in credit.

Today most still do exactly that. Yet a few innovative gems are starting to sparkle. So instead of bank bashing, today I'm applauding the bank accounts that pay. It couldn’t be a better time. Last September, in response to multiple wristslappings for blocking competition, the banks finally made switching easier, launching the new ‘seven day switching’ system.

They now switch your direct debits and standing orders within a week, close your old account and ensure payments get forwarded to your new bank for 13 months.

The bank that pays you to pay your bills Three years ago, Santander.co.uk was a customer service pariah. Now its innovative 123 current account is the customer service silver medallist, with 74% rating it great.

Roly tweeted me: "We've been using it for seven months – we've earned £350 with the credit card."

You gain in two ways. Pay bills by direct debit and you get 3% cashback on mobile, phone and broadband; 2% on energy; and 1% on water, council tax and Santander mortgage payments. These should dwarf its £2/month fee, as someone with typical bills earns £10/mth. It also pays a best buy 3% AER savings interest if you've £3,000-£20,000.

To qualify, you must pay in £500/month (ie, a £6,000+ salary). You can also apply for its linked credit card which gives 3% back on petrol spend (repay IN FULL to avoid interest).

The bank saving you up to £500 on travel, mobile and roadside insurance Many have been ripped off for years with fee-charging bank accounts. Some are even entitled to reclaim years of fees, which can add up to to £100s (full help in www.mse.me/ reclaimpackage).

Used correctly, a few fee-paying accounts can win.

Nationwide.co.uk’s FlexPlus tops the tree. You pay £10/mth and included is European breakdown cover, family worldwide insurance (max age 74) and family smartphone insurance. A family needing them all could pay £600/year separately. For travel cover, ensure you disclose pre-existing conditions.

The bank that pays you £100 then £5 each month The Halifax.co.uk Reward account pays no interest, just pays you £5 monthly after tax if you stay in credit. It also gives £100 for switching, so provided you don't keep savings in

there, it can add up well.

The bank service gold medallist Your bank account's the one financial product you interact with day-to-day, so service counts. So every six months, I poll on my site to find out which bank you rate the most.

And every time I’ve done it Firstdirect.com has won the gold medal by a mile. Financially, it's decent too, giving £100 to join and a 0% overdraft for up to £250.

The banks that give you a 0% overdra� An overdraft's a debt like any other. If you go into the red often, the most crucial thing's cutting its cost to give you respite to clear it. While Firstdirect.com offers a 0% overdraft for up to £250, Nationwide.co.uk's FlexDirect may give an interest-free overdraft for more, though it only lasts a year (it's 50p/day after).

If that isn’t long enough to clear your debt, then it's possible to shift your overdraft to a few specialist credit cards which are 0% for 29 months. This can be a little tricky though, so read my full instructions on that, and best buys at www.moneysavingexpert.com/moneytransfers It's worth noting that if you regularly go beyond your overdraft limit, there are no competitive banks. While for those in severe hardship bank charge reclaiming is still possible (see mse.me/bankcharges), the best thing to do is try to keep a tight rein on your money.

The banks that don't credit score you Sadly, there are up to a million people in the UK without a bank account CHECK; and some banks don’t make it easy to get them.

For all the top pick deals above, you'll need to pass a credit score. If that’s not going to happen, basic bank accounts don't need credit checks, as they just provide a no-frills, nooverdraft service. You need ID to get one.

When applying, ask for the specific account by name – otherwise you could get forms for standard accounts, then get rejected. The better options include Barclays.co.uk Cash Card and Co-operativebank.co.uk Cashminder (not available to bankrupts).

Even though there's no overdraft, they can still fine you if you try to spend more than you've got.

Recipe

Tastes so good...

PIZZA TURNOVERS

©image Nigel Maisey

Ideal for a lunchbox filler, picnic or afternoon snack, this twist on a traditional pizza turns this dish into something that resembles a blend of a Cornish pasty and savoury pastry. Serve with a crisp green salad for a larger meal.

Ingredients:

Equipment: Flat tray, covered with baking parchment

500g packet ready roll puff pastry 1 egg 1 onion 400g tub passata ½ green pepper 2 tablespoons cooking oil 2 tablespoons tomato puree Pepper and salt Teaspoon oregano 5 thinly sliced mushrooms 4 slices of ham chopped 250g Grated Mozzarella cheese

Method: Flat tray, covered with baking parchment To make the pizza sauce, chop the onion and pepper finely and put in a pan with the oil on a medium heat.

When the onion is soft add the passata and the tomato puree, stir in well, add the oregano and salt and pepper and leave to simmer for 5 minutes.

When cooked take off the stove and leave to cool.

Take the puff pastry and roll onto a floured surface about 3-4 mm thick. Cut into 12 equal squares.

Beat the egg in a cup and brush the squares.

Spoon the tomato sauce diagonally along each square, place on the sliced mushrooms and the chopped ham.

Place a handful of mozzarella cheese on each square and in the opposite corners and squeeze them to seal in the filling. Place on a baking sheet.

Brush the outside with egg and bake on the middle shelf in the oven until pastry is golden brown and cooked underneath.
