Notes from...

WarehamTown Museum Over 100 people from all over Dorset descended on the Corn Exchange in Wareham on Saturday 26 April to attend the first-ever conference on the town’s history. “Digging deeper, a Celebration of Wareham’s Heritage” was held by Wareham Museum to celebrate our 40th birthday.

The speakers included local archaeologist Lilian Ladle MBE covering 2000 years of Wareham’s history, and Professor David Hinton of Southampton University, on Anglo-Saxon Wareham. Wareham was one of the most important towns in the Saxon Kingdom of Wessex, and Wareham has the best preserved Saxon town defences in England. Roger Hills of the Dorset Castles Research Group talked about Wareham Castle, which was built by the Normans and abandoned in the 14th century; and Nick

Fagan , Chair of Wareham Town Trust, gave an overview of how Wareham’s heritage is preserved and enhanced. Mike O’Hara, the curator from 1991 to 2013, gave a brief account of the history of the museum.

The morning of talks was followed by a guided walk around Wareham led by Professor David Hinton. Photographs of the day, and of other events, can be found on our website: www.wtm.org.uk

Wareham Museum tells the story of Wareham from prehistoric times to the present day. It is situated in the Town Hall, Wareham, and is open 10-4, Monday to Saturday. Entrance is free. The highlight on display this year is the Saxon sword, found in the River Frome in 1927, and once owned by a member of the royal family of Wessex. The museum is run by volunteers, and if you would like to help, call in or visit the website.

Where is Nellie?

Do you know the South of England? Can you recognise these places?

These are just some of the sights that Nellie, the rather large Purbeck & Dorset Publications Campervan has travelled to in just the last month!

The answers are at the bottom of the page so you can immediately see if you are right.

Most are easy, but one or two maybe a challenge‌? Have a go and see how many places you know! You can also follow her... whereisnellie @whereisnellie 2

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

Wareham District

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.”

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.

01929 408080

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.

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

01929 408080

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

Adventures of Nellie

26

The Adventures of Nellie The Purbeck Publications Camper Van Harry at Top Shine Valeting 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

There is a £10 discount on a full valet and a £5 discount on a mini-valet available if you mention ‘Nellie at Purbeck 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

Wareham District

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…?

National Trust in Purbeck The National Trust is for a short time reintroducing grazing to an area of the Studland peninsula where cattle once roamed freely.

As part of our heathland conservation work, a small number of hardy Red Devon cattle are being introduced to a triangular area south of the Northern Boundary permissive footpath to graze on rough grass and heather.

Records dating back to the 1930s show that the whole of the Studland peninsula was once grazed by cattle which roamed at will in much the same way as they still do in areas like the New Forest.

Gradually grazing fell out of fashion around Studland until it was restarted by the National Trust on Godlingston Heath.

More recently, specific areas of Studland Heath either side of Ferry Road have been set aside as short term grazing areas for small numbers of cattle.

The latest area is surrounded on two sides by mire, which will prevent the cattle straying, while a temporary fence has been put up along the side nearest the footpath.

The plan is to allow cattle to graze this area for a time in the weeks leading up to the start of the school summer holidays.

They will then be removed during the peak visitor season and may be re-introduced for a time in September.

The effects of grazing will be studied as part of the Cyril Diver Project, a three-year study to compare the natural scene in Studland today with detailed ecological records made in the 1930s, when the whole peninsula was grazed.

Grazing, along with other traditional methods, is widely used by the National Trust and other landowners to maintain historic heathland landscapes and preserve the habitat of the many rare plants and animals which live there.

National Trust rangers are working with members of Disabled Ramblers to make the delights of the Purbeck countryside accessible to everyone.

Ranger Dave Williams and Disabled Ramblers Secretary Valerie Rawlings are identifying routes suitable for electric class three mobility scooters, which can be used off road.

“The aim is to allow those with mobility problems to enjoy the countryside in as natural a way as possible,” said Dave.

“It’s a question of identifying routes which are accessible wherever possible rather than adapting routes to fit,” he added.

“The disabled ramblers I have spoken to want to visit wild countryside and they are not really keen on tracks. They want to go to the places the ramblers do, but they realise they can’t get to everywhere.”

Some small adaptations have been made to existing routes however, including two wooden bridges on Studland Heath, and more may follow as the network of routes grows.

As well as Studland, the project has looked at the Priest’s Way near Langton Matravers and Middlebere Heath.

Some gates still need to be adapted for scooter users and not all routes are fully accessible in winter when heathland can become boggy.

Valerie said projects like the Purbeck initiative made a big difference to the lives of ramblers who are not able to access many traditional paths.

“If I didn’t have my scooter and the paths weren’t improved and accessible we wouldn’t be able to see half of what we do see,” she said.

“As a disabled rambler, this sort of facility is so important because it means we can get out into the countryside and access the wonderful views, the fresh air and wildlife.”

Exercise proves its worth The National Coastwatch Institution (NCI) watchkeepers at St Albans Head recently held a ‘table-top’ training exercise at Worth Matravers village hall.

Teams were presented with an invented scenario where a yacht had lost power and was drifting dangerously close to the shore, but the organisers of the exercise threw in other complications to test the watchkeepers to the full.

These included someone having had a heart attack on the coast path, so a member of the team had to go and use a defibrillator like the one which has recently been installed at the station and on which all watchkeepers have received special training.

One of those taking part said, ‘Although the exercise was done a couple of miles

from our lookout the sea, it is surprising how realistic it feels – including the pressure when the situation gets more complicated. Certainly my team made some mistakes, but it was tremendously valuable to learn from them, and better to make them in that situation than in a real emergency.’

Watchkeepers Dixie Dean, Dick Bellis and John Newth get to grips with the NCI exercise
