Chocks away for sky-high show PREPARATIONS for next year’s Folkestone Air Show - with plans to make it even more successful than the 2012 event - are already under way, organiser Folkestone Town Centre Management Ltd (FTCM) has announced. Branded as Folkestone Airshow, it will take place on Saturday, June 8, the middle day of an action-packed weekend which will also include ground displays, exhibitions, entertainment, family fun and children’s activities. With town centre manager John Barber in overall charge of arrangements, FTCM has appointed a dedicated project team to plan and promote the event. Project manager responsible for day-to-day planning and marketing is Yvonne Holder, previously co-ordinator of Shepway District Council’s Inspiring Communities and East Folkestone Together programmes. Matt Davidson provides social media and other support.

As this year, the show will be funded by local sponsors, donations and the proceeds of sales of memorabilia, and, in a bid to keep most of the spend of the scores of thousands of spectators in Shepway, FTCM is engaging retailers, accommodation and hospitality-providers, entertainment venues and other businesses in its plans. Said Ms Holder: “We aim to make the air show weekend even more successful than the one staged in June, the first since 2003. The flying programme will not be announced until nearer the date, but with thrilling displays in the air and plenty of events on the ground to entertain visitors and residents Folkestone AirShow will give a flying start to the month-long Folkestone Festival, also organised by FTCM, which follows”. “Lessons have been learned from the 2012 event, and our plans include dealing with the important issues of on-theday parking and communications with spectators. Support from Shepway District Council, the business community and tourism organisations is fantastic. “A big promotion programme to stimulate and sustain local, regional and farther-afield interest starts this month. It will include print, online, radio, TV, film, website and social media. A separate campaign will target tour and coach operators and group organisers. No one will be able to say that they don’t know about next year’s show. We’re looking to attract bumper crowds throughout the weekend”. Folkestone Airshow 2013 will be officially launched in January by Visit Kent chairman Amanda Cottrell OBE at a ceremony at The Grand.

Natural First Aid I often get asked what to keep at home instead of conventional first aid items. I try to use things that are easy to source, and some that might even be hanging around for culinary use too! Marigold is useful for many simple self limiting complaints. It helps damaged skin tissue repair itself so use topically for cuts and grazes. Carry on using it and it might limit scarring, especially if you mix with a little wheatgerm oil. Marigold is anti-fungal so can be helpful for athletes foot or other such conditions like ring worm or thrush. It’s been used by nursing mothers to help heal sore nipples and similarly on babies bottoms to help treat nappy rash, the anti-fungal action can be an added bonus here too if thrush is present. You can buy the dried marigold flowers at specialist herb outlets (contact me for details if you need help with that) or you may have them growing in the garden (check the variety is Calendula officinalis). Try freezing into ice cubes so you always have some to hand. Lavender pure essential oil from a reputable supplier. Try rubbing a drop into your temples to ease a tension

headache or a little on your pillow to relax at bedtime. You can apply neat onto burns, bites and stings providing the skin isn’t broken; it’s anti inflammatory so helps take the itch and heat from swelling or discomfort. I would dilute in a teaspoon of carrier oil if using on children though and be careful not to get it near the eyes. Fresh Sage leaves can be rubbed onto bites and stings for quick relief in a hurry. Made into a tea they help ease a sore throat and many ladies swear by sage tea to help hot flushes. I usually find menopause requires more a more complex approach but I have met some for whom sage has been enough. Honey is a wonderful food but also a great remedy to have to hand. Add to luke warm water (with or without lemon) to help sore throats; drink as it is or gargle too. It’s also great to slap onto a burn immediately after the accident to take out the heat and minimise blistering (providing the skin remains intact). Runny honey is the best for this but no expensive type or brand needed.

Try making a simple onion and honey syrup by slicing an onion into a clean jar, cover with honey and store in the fridge. Give the mixture a shake every now and then and after 48 hours you will notice how thin the honey has got as it absorbs the constituents and properties of the onion. Strain into a sterilised bottle and keep in the fridge for up a month, use the discarded onions in cooking asap – don’t leave them hanging about too long now. Upto 8 teaspoons a day of the syrup can be given to adults to help sore throats and coughs. Chamomile tea is sold everywhere these days ! It can be helpful if you have had a heavy night or simply got a bit of a bad stomach following over indulgence or a bug. Chamomile is known as ‘mother of the gut’ helping to calm and support most disturbances of the stomach and digestive tissue. Once it’s been brewed it can be drunk immediately or left until cool/cold. Chamomile mixes well with peppermint and fennel that are also widely available and good tonics for the digestive system.

A Weighty Issue produce in us a need for ‘emotional or comfort eating’. Well that’s all well and good - but how can you shift those extra pounds? Here are some ways to reduce emotional eating:

You may have noticed to your dismay that you are carrying a few extra pounds around your middle - and perhaps your warmer clothes are a little tighter than you remember? It is a fact that as a population we are generally much heavier than our recent ancestors. If you like looking at old photographs of people promenading along The Leas you will notice that on the whole Victorian men and woman look pretty trim compared to now. Modern day life is much faster and we are all susceptible to stresses and pressures which sometimes P8

•

Remove comfort foods from your home and replace them with healthy snacks or if you can’t remove them entirely start by buying less cakes and biscuits and more fruit.

•

Find another way to soothe yourself when you are feeling stressed - music can help and make sure you drink lots of water as sometimes your body fools you into thinking it is hungry but actually it is thirsty.

•

Enlist the help of your family and friends... ask them not to tempt you with sweet things.

•

Start to become aware of how you sabotage yourself and STOP doing it. If you say to yourself “Just this once is okay” or “Just one cake won’t hurt” or “I am really down today, so this time doesn’t count?” - STOP fooling yourself - it WILL pile on the pounds.

•

Spend a few minutes every day imagining what you look like at your ideal weight, how your clothes fit so comfortably when you are lighter, how much more energy you have, how much more confident you feel in yourself and how your face looks more defined. If you can find a picture of yourself at your ideal weight use that as a reminder. Positive thinking does work - if you set your sights well and truly on your goal of weight reduction then your sub conscious does everything it can to help you reach your goal.

There are many ways to get to your idea weight dieting is perhaps not the answer for many people and often they turn to Hypnosis to support them in reaching their ideal weight goal. A review of studies published in leading medical journals between 1985 and 1998 offers the compelling evidence that hypnotherapy is the added ingredient that helps people stay on track with weight control. But don’t put it off - start now. Jan Holben NLP Hypnotherapist Folkestone and area

Peter Green My name is Peter Green and my aim is to raise over £1million pounds for my chosen charities before the end of 2015. I am raising money for the four leading cancer centres in the UK and for Together for Short Lives; the charity that supports all children and young people living with terminal or life threatening illness. I’d like to share with you a small part of my plans, and feelings, and if you’d like to follow my progress, or sponsor me, that would be fantastic. Either way, I hope you’ll enjoy the journey… Sometimes we do not know what is worth doing until we actually do it and reflect upon it. My challenges are what I call “My Bucket List” - My bucket list is not about me dying, but about me living and helping others as I challenge myself both physically and mentally to achieve the goals of ‘My Bucket List’.

Many of the challenges that I have chosen to undertake are very much based on things that I have never really been good at, and will no doubt push my resolve to the limit. For example… Until May 2011 I was a holiday swimmer. I never achieved my 25 length swimming certificate at Primary School and preferred to ‘bob around’ in a pool. As part of this challenge, I’m now training to swim the English Channel. Whilst I can run up hills and mountains much faster than most cyclists, I dislike cycling immensely; the last time I owned a bicycle was in the 4th year of school and it had ‘cow horns’. As part of this challenge, I have set myself the task to cycle and run around Scotland, in pursuit of conquering “The Munro’s”, and then the entire coastline of Britain. I am perhaps what you call a ‘big lump’ and prefer performing in milder climates but I want to face the

P10

extremities that many of the ‘Bucket List’ challenges will bring; the cold of the sea or Arctic, the heat of the Sahara or the tough terrain of the Highlands; after all my philosophy is that ‘Because one day I won’t be able to’. Yes, I have set myself some tough goals but these pale into insignificance to the challenges faced by many individuals and their families on a daily basis. I will not let it obscure the rest of what matters in life. If you can help me in some small way to support other ordinary people and their families, those that are leading extraordinary lives as a result of fighting cancer or a terminal illness, wouldn’t it be time well spent if we can keep families together that little bit longer?

At the end of “My bucket list”, I will have reached my 50th birthday.

Please get involved, we can me make a real difference and help keep families where they belong, together for longer.

Poetry Corner by Joe Thomas

(Sandgate Writers)

A Dead Cert I’m informed by a reliable source, who’s related to a jockey of course, that Napoleon a ten year old grey is destined to win the 3.30 today. He says. ‘If he keeps a steady pace he’s guaranteed to win the race:

The four runners sprint off the line, with my horse last - the rest doing fine. At the first fence the mare Blue Bird allows my no hoper to slip into third, and at the fifth with Star short of space, Napoleon slips into second place,

it’s all been arranged my sonthe nag will win at fifty to one.’

then suddenly the leader covered in foam, dramatically falls a furlong from home;

To ignore this would be a sin so I wager five hundred to win.

so Napoleon is first of course pity the jockey isn’t on the horse.

Lasting Power of Attorney thousands of pounds over the years. The OPG takes control of your finances and the receiver has to continuously obtain authorisation from them to pay certain expenses on your behalf. Additional authorisation means additional fees. Everybody should have a Lasting Power of Attorney to save their family expense, grief and aggravation at a time they need it least.

A vital document enabling a person to appoint another they trust to manage their affairs when they are unable to act for themselves due to the loss of mental capacity through illness, accident, dementia or stroke for example.

Jaci Godman Irvine specializes in Wills, Trusts and Lasting Power of Attorney. She is also the advisor in the South East for Universal Asset Protection Ltd. Tel: 01303 773178. Email: enquiries@estatelegacyservices.co.uk

www.estatelegacyservice.co.uk

Without this document your spouse, relatives or friends cannot legally act on your behalf. They must apply to the Court of Protection, also known as the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) who investigates the background of the person applying to decide if they are ‘fit’ to be appointed ‘receiver’. To apply to be a ‘receiver’ your family member or friend must complete 50 pages of forms giving huge amounts of personal information about themselves, their family, their own personal finances and their relationship with you, the person they wish to care for. If they are appointed as a receiver, the OPG charges numerous fees to supervise their activities; commencement fees, an account fee, transaction fees, accountants fees and finally a winding up fee which can all add up to P22

Wet Rooms by Katherine Sorrell They’re hip, they’re hot and they’re wet, wet, wet - and no, we’re not talking about an Eighties pop band, but the aspirational trend for bathrooms. Katherine Sorrell looks at what you need to know before installing a wet room or walk-in shower. What can go wrong?

Collage 1200mm corner panel with standard brace bar, £510; JT40 1200x800mm shower tray, £225; Roman shower basket, £125; concealed twin and multi-function hand set, £820; Jasper Morrison 50cm basin, £124; Bristan Quadrant mono basin mixer, £279; all Bathrooms 365, 01454 417111; www.bathrooms365.com

Just what is a wet room anyway? In a conventional wet room, the whole bathroom is, potentially, the shower area. There’s no step up into the shower cubicle - in fact, there’s no shower cubicle; instead, the room is tanked (treated to make it completely waterproof) and given a floor drain and a decentsized shower head. Add a conventional loo and basin, and bingo, you have a wet room.

Why would I want one? Wet rooms done well are stylish, contemporary and seen as the last word in luxury, and some say they add value to a property - though it must be added that this seems P30

to apply mainly to high-end, urban homes rather than your average suburban semi or country cottage. If you enjoy an indulgent shower then a wet room gives you an unparalleled sense of freedom and space (you can even design it so you have a view); and if your bathroom is on the small side then removing the bath will give you loads more room. Wet rooms should be easier to keep clean, too - no fiddling around the screen or tray, just a mop over as necessary, which is especially easy if you fit a wall-mounted basin and WC. Finally, wet rooms can be better for older people or anyone with impaired mobility, as there’s no step up into the shower to negotiate.

It’s not advisable to convert your only bathroom into a wet room - potential buyers tend to want at least one bath and, what’s more, you do need access to a dry loo and basin, especially if there’s more than one of you in the household. In a family bathroom a wet floor may create problems for small children. As with all home improvements, adding an inappropriately over-thetop wet room to an otherwise ordinary house is not a good idea. Without good ventilation a wet room can all too quickly become musty and mouldy. And, last but by no means least, there’s every wet room owner’s nightmare - a failure in the tanking resulting in leaks and damp patches.

Can I have a wetroom without the potential problems? Absolutely. You can create a walk-in shower, which is larger than usual, at floor level for ease of access, and just as streamlined and chic. The advantage is that it has its own below-floor drainage area and is enclosed by a good-looking glass panel: thus the water is contained in one area (so no soaked loo roll), and the room won’t need such extensive preparation with regard to drainage and tanking. The risk of leaks is reduced - though there are no guarantees. The disadvantage is that a walk-in will take up more space than a standard shower cubicle.

What are the technicalities?

the room, which could mean having to re-size the doorway.

Wet rooms are often recommended for ground floors and basements, where the sub-floor is more likely to be solid. In a first-floor installation it’s more tricky. You may need to strengthen joists in order to bear the load of heavy stone tiles; you’ll certainly need to ensure that the floor is stable, as wooden joists that flex could create cracks in tiles or waterproofing. In all cases you need to create a suitable drainage slope, either with a ‘former’ and suitable levelling compound, or a pre-formed tray set into the floor. To accommodate waste fittings, you may need to raise the entire floor level of

Really good tanking is vital. It may be in the form of impermeable sheeting or a trowelled-on sealant, and should be applied to the entire floor of the wet room or walk-in, the walls that are likely to become wet, and extend beyond by 50cm each side. Another option for walls is to use prefabricated waterresistant boarding. In both cases it is necessary to seal vulnerable areas (corner joints and pipework penetrations) using a special sealing strip. Then there’s your water supply. If you have low water pressure or a small tank, for example, you may need to fit a bigger tank or add a

pump. Finally, ventilation. Fit a really good extractor fan, following building regulations religiously (ask advice from your local planning authority), and avoid condensation by also having some form of heating in the room, whether underfloor or radiators.

Fit Exercise Around A Job And Busy Lifestyle! So many people in today’s world use ‘Oh I just haven’t got the time’ as a reason for not exercising. It’s true that it can be hard to fit exercise around your job as well as a busy lifestyle, but mark my words it is far from impossible. There is a common misconception amongst people that exercising will just tire you out; this is obviously true to a certain extent, but in fact regular exercise is proven to make you feel much more refreshed and invigorated throughout the day. Everyday tasks that maybe you sometimes struggle with e.g. walking to work, will become much easier after a period of exercise, in turn improving how you feel mentally and physically. It is clear that regular exercise can have a positive effect on your lifestyle; here are 3 ways to help you incorporate regular exercise into your busy life: 1. Planning - Always plan when to exercise and what particular exercise you will be doing, for example, if you finish work early on a certain afternoon of the week then say ‘Right! That’s when I’m going to exercise’ and make sure you stick to it! 2. Exercise at home - If you haven’t got time to get to the gym exercising at home can be a great way of getting fit at no cost, and there’s also a time saving measure, which is obviously a positive. A quick circuit training session, core workout, Pilate’s … or a run (obviously not in the house!) can be perfect when you have a free 30 min in the day. 3. Goals - Setting short term goals such as work out 3 times this week, lose 3 pounds in a fortnight will help increase motivation to exercise even if you feel you haven’t got time. A small investment in a pair of dumbbells, a new pair of trainers or even a slightly larger investment in an exercise bike or cross trainer will act as a huge motivation to exercise. Exercising 3-5 times a week could make a busy life become much more manageable P32

and enjoyable. I cannot stress the importance of good planning enough. So have a sit down and work out what free time you have pick when you want to exercise and go out there and do it. Now is a great time to start making positive changes to your life. Good luck, Andy King, AK Health & Fitness

The Evil Weevil by Pippa Greenwood hatch to produce the creamy coloured grubs which feed and grow until they reach full size.

What Can You Do? Try to avoid getting vine weevils in the first place. Check plants, including their roots, carefully for foliage damage before introducing anything new to your garden. Avoid re-using compost in containers as it might contain grubs or eggs, which are impossible to spot.

The vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) will always feature in any gardening poll of ‘top pests’. They’re an immensely successful pest; there are only females and each one is capable of laying about 1,000 eggs during the summer. If you have them in your garden, whether you like it or not, you probably need to get to know better.

How Do You Know You Have Vine Weevils? The adult vine weevil is just under 1cm long, matt black with tiny gingery brown flecks on its wing-cases. They’re a classic weevil shape with elbowed antennae and a phenomenal ability to grip on to nearly any surface. You’re likely to notice the notches around the leaf margins before you see the weevil. They tend to feed in the evening or at night, usually on the lower, most accessible leaves.

The young stage weevils or grubs are about 1cm long, creamy white in colour and often curled into a ‘C’ shape, with no legs but a gingery brown head. You’ll find them in the compost or soil, close to the roots or tubers that they’ve been feeding on. Unless you’re removing a plant you’re unlikely to notice the grubs; it’s when a plant suddenly starts to wilt or die, or you realise that something is no longer firmly rooted that alarm bells should begin to ring.

What Do Vine Weevils Attack? Vine weevils will attack nearly any plant you try to grow, particularly in containers. They’re a greater problem on perennial plants and those with fleshier roots or tubers. The adult beetles emerge mostly between March and May, but also at other times in greenhouses. The eggs are dark brown, less than 1mm diameter and are placed close to a suitable host plant. The eggs

As vine weevils can’t fly, making barriers is relatively easy. Put a ring of non-setting glue around the rim of containers, use a gritty mulch to reduce the number of eggs that are laid and hatch and try creating miniature moats around the legs of greenhouse staging, by standing each leg in a bowl of water. Vine weevils can’t swim and won’t be able to access the plants provided the staging doesn’t touch the sides of the greenhouse. I’m a fan of the biological nematode controls. They’re available from mail order suppliers (including www. pippagreenwood.com) and seed catalogues and are applied as a compost or soil drench. To work effectively, keep the area moist, so that the nematodes can move through the compost to attack the grubs, entering their bodies and producing a bacterial infection to kill them. The nematode controls need to have a soil or compost temperature of 5-21C and work best during August and September.
