Hello Wareham, Wool & Bere Regis!

What fantastic weather we have had. It is so good to be able to go out and about for walks easily. How many of you have had early barbecues also? That is a great excuse to get together with family and friends and chill out a bit. Love it! The only problem is the rain, we do need it, so do be a little bit more careful with the use of water.

This month as always there are lots of trades people and services to help you around the house, in the garden and for you personally. We have many different categories from dentists to fencing, from chimney sweeps to prom dresses, from massage therapists to kitchens and many, many more. When you give any of the advertisers a call do mention The Wareham District Directory. Steve, Martin, myself and all of the advertisers thank you for your continued support.

Happy Easter everyone! Hayden, our son did a wonderful power point presentation on the computer this week, all done by himself of The Resurrection. The power point and the story is something they have all been doing at school, and it was very touching. He is only 8 and I thought of what I could do at his age...it certainly wasn’t as much as that. The children learn so much these days don’t they. Leave us standing! I hope you manage to get a break over the Easter Holidays and meet up with the family for a meal or a day out. Failing that give one of our advertisers a call and get some jobs done in the house!

Stephen, Martin and I wish you all the very best.

Regards,

Talking about wildlife with

Heard the cuckoo yet?

The sound of the cuckoo’s song is a traditional sign of spring, announcing the arrival of warmer weather and longer days. The cuckoo has a firm place in British folklore, and is a cherished summer visitor from sub-Saharan Africa, arriving in Britain in late April or early May. It can be seen throughout the country in open woodland areas, and is most abundant in the south. The cuckoo’s summer stay with us is rather brief, though, as the adults head back south in July and August, followed by the juveniles about a month later.

The cuckoo sound of the male’s song is instantly recognisable, but in flight, this medium sized, blue and grey bird can be mistaken for kestrel and sparrowhawk.

Male and female are rather similar in appearance and the juveniles are brown.

Apart from its song, the cuckoo is probably best known for being a brood parasite, as the female lays a single egg to be incubated in the nest of its chosen host species; reed warbler, dunnock or meadow pipit. The youngster, not to be outdone by its mother in the art of deception, ejects its ‘siblings’ as soon as it has hatched, thus securing the foster parents’ full attention at feeding times. The

WDD April 2012 page 6

cuckoos feed mostly on insects; caterpillars, beetles and ants. Bright coloured, hairy caterpillars are on the top of their list, as their digestive system is well adapted to tolerate them.

The cuckoo is currently a red list species of conservation concern, its numbers having been in steep decline for over two decades. The reasons for the decline are currently being investigated, but there are believed to be multiple factors, such as a reduction in prey species, especially caterpillars, changes in the cuckoos’ habitats here and in Africa, and even climate change.

‘Discover Purbeck’ Information Centre is Launched The planned move of the Purbeck Information/Heritage Centre to the Public Library in South Street has finally happened. Re-named the ‘Discover Purbeck’ Information Centre’, it shares integrated ground floor reception facilities and was officially launched on 20th March by Councillor Hilary Cox, Dorset County Council’s member for community services, and Councillor Eric Osmond, Chairman of Purbeck District Council, before a gathering of representatives from the local community, customers, staff and council officials. The Mayor of Wareham, Councillor Doreen Cleaton, also attended on behalf of the people of Wareham and thanked all who had worked so hard in achieving the move.

Councillor Mrs Cox said: “This is an excellent example of how our two councils, County and District, working together can provide a better service to both residents and visitors. While browsing for a book, people may now also be inspired to visit a local tourist attraction. Councillor Osmond added: “Early feedback from the local community is that it is a friendly, welcoming space and the improved access, especially for people with walking difficulties, has been welcomed.”

I went along myself to view the new facilities and it is impressive, looking like it had always been there. Well done to all concerned.

Councillor Mrs Cox cuts the This is surely a fine way of helping to preserve Wareham’s ribbon at the opening excellent library in the years to come.

Local MP to attend Annual Town Meeting - Wareham’s Annual Town Meeting, (not a Council meeting but a meeting of the parishioners i.e. electors of the town) hosted by the Town Council, takes place on Wednesday 11th April in the Corn Exchange. All Wareham Town electors are invited and may raise issues with the Town Council. This year’s guest speaker will be Annette Brooke, MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole, who will speak on ‘My Life in Parliament’ and be available to answer questions. This is likely to be a popular event and there is limited seating in the Corn exchange, so my advice is to get there early. Doors open 7.15pm for 7.30 pm.

Community Payback Services Presentation - at the 12th March Council meeting, a presentation was given by Tony Mason, Community Services Officer representing Community Payback Services (Dorset Probation). Over 400 offenders have been involved in Community Payback, with the service based in Wareham but working all over Dorset. Participants were involved with lunch clubs, cooking, serving, washing up, clearing up for the elderly, and general gardening/maintenance work, with charges just to cover costs. 76244.75 hours were worked by offenders last year and training was also provided for them e.g. food hygiene certificates/first aid courses. Reference was made to clearing the stream of litter and vegetation at the Town Council’s Hauses Field recently, an excellent job done by the team in a day at very reasonable cost.

Confirmation of Mayor-Elect, Nomination of Deputy Mayor-Elect – the Council has confirmed the Mayor-Elect as Councillor Keith Green and nominated the Deputy Mayor-Elect as Councillor Malcolm Russell. Both appointments will take effect from the new Civic year on 9th May 2012.

Wareham’s Saxon Sword: Home at Last (if only for a While!) The remains of a 10th Century Saxon sword discovered in the River Frome in 1927 and subsequently kept at Dorset County Museum

will return on loan to Wareham in April. A full size replica of the sword made by local blacksmith Roy Osmond of West Lulworth will be displayed alongside. This sword will be retained in the Museum following the original sword’s return to Dorchester in late August. On Friday 13th April at 7.30 pm, Lillian Ladle MBE, a member of the East Dorset Antiquarian Society, will give a talk entitled ‘’Home at Last – Wareham’s Saxon Sword and the Viking Invasions’ in the Corn Exchange. Admission free to public (donations welcome towards Museum running costs). A presentation will follow, together with the unveiling of the sword display in the Museum. This is also likely to be a popular event!

Word Of Mouth is Best — MouthPeace is more than a Soundbite!

‘We want to give you Dentistry with a Difference’ A regular MOT check on your car can keep your life safer. A regular Dental MOT should help spot problems before they become bigger and more complex.

Early detection of gum and tooth problems is best. Remember you can replace your car but you cannot replace your teeth!

Regular dental check-ups and hygienist appointments should enable us to assess your oral health, especially in areas where the toothbrush cannot reach, and where gum disease and tooth decay often start.

The hardest part of your body is your teeth – they are built to last! (See the article in the March edition.)

Invest in your mouth and smile. A good investment is something you pay for now and the benefit follows later. Good dentistry and prevention of future problems will give good long term investment.

21st Century dentistry enables you to keep your teeth and your smile and also helps you avoid pain in your mouth.

Losing teeth one by one puts more pressure as you chew on your remaining teeth which will mean they will not last as long. It is a Domino Effect!

Think of when your hair and appearance look good. Have you noticed when you wear nice clothes, you feel better in yourself? – But you are the same person inside the clothes? Think of valeting a car, have you noticed when you clean and polish your car, the car seems to drive better? It does not matter if this is psychological. If it motivates you – DO IT! - especially if, as a result of cleaning your gums and teeth, you have good appearance, pleasant breath and avoid a

WDD April 2012 page 18

lot of pain and discomfort in your mouth which many people sadly and unnecessarily endure and accept.

MouthPeace Dental practices have the support of Denplan Payment Schemes as well as provide independent Pay As You Go Private Fees. Denplan can help spread your costs and afford treatment you require. We can provide treatment, without any restriction to meet your dental requirements.

W e a i m t o h e l p ou r p a t i e n t s t o ‘understand’ their mouths and provide modern pain-free dentistry. We want our patients to ‘expect’ Peace in their Mouths. We say “Thank you” for helping us build our patient base and recommending your friends by sending a gift sent to anyone who recommends a new patient who joins the practice.

Cosmetic tooth coloured fillings, tooth whitening, Crown and Bridge work, implants and orthodontics and most o t h e r a s p e c t s o f G e n er a l D e n t a l Treatment are available, either in-house or by referral.

The Purbeck Association of The National Trust As part of our activities, alongside our social events and talks, we arrange a series of coach trips (mainly in the summer) to places of interest. It’s always difficult to draw up a programme that gives something for everyone. We try to have a mix of National Trust properties (which of course have free entry for our members) and ones that are privately owned. We also try to have some places that are close by, with others that are a long journey.

Sometimes it surprises us that people are keen to visit nearby places, but it’s a fact that we sometimes neglect the things on our own doorstep. In June this year we’ll be visiting Abbotsbury Swannery and the Subtropical Gardens (pictured). We’ve obviously chosen well, as the garden has just been named by the Historic Houses Association as their Garden Of The Year. Further afield we’ll be going to A La Ronde (a unique 16-sided house) and Knightshayes Court in Devon, and having a private tour of Cothay Manor in Somerset.

Why not get more out of your National Trust membership (or your status as a Trust Volunteer) by joining us? Our annual membership is great value at only £5, or £7.50 for a couple. If you’d like to, call Membership Secretary Jay Burke on 423775 or visit our website www.purbecknt.org.uk, where you can see our whole programme of activities.
