Hi everyone,

Sue Simpson

How are you all doing? Did you have an overindulgence of chocolate over Easter? Did you wait till they went down to half price and grab a bargain? Or were you just totally and utterly restrained? I was very good and only had half an egg!

With the lighter nights now in full flow a smile always comes on my face - it just generally makes me feel happier and allows you to do a little bit more with your day - why, I do not know - but it’s great anyway.

Gillian and Ann are donning their cycle gear and travelling coast to coast - 140 miles of saddle sore - wishing the girls well on their adventure and thank you in advance if you care to sponsor them. The church is opening it’s door to Nosh and Natter - a great initiative to enjoy a bite to eat and a blether with some friends, hoping they ban mobile phones too.

The Bach Choir are doing a concert in May if that’s of interest and the Cults Scout Jumble Sale is always a good one to attend. There will be the MayFest which is a bit more creative, look out for leaflets round and about - plenty for families to partake in.

I was very sad to hear about Helen, one of our delivery team who passed away in December very suddenly. Helen was a keen walker and I’m sure you would have seen her going about the village. She will be missed.

Sorry to end on a sad note, but go grab that cuppa and enjoy this copy of the ‘KCN’ - until the next time.

COAST TO COAST CHALLENGE Good friends Ann Perrott and Gillian Dobeson met when their local Rainbow Guide unit was struggling to find leaders. From that point they discovered a mutual love of cycling, arranging weekly trips (weather permitting).

Both ladies have family members who are or have been affected by dementia and discovered that research is seriously underfunded. Anyone who’s been in this situation will know how heart-breaking it is to gradually lose communication and be unable to share memories with the parent you have loved, it may happen to us one day.

Ann and Gillian, along with family and friends, are planning on cycling a 140 mile Coast to Coast challenge in the North of England in June, hoping to raise funds for Alzheimer Scotland. If you would like to donate to the cause please search for Ann or Gillian at www.wonderful.org or use the following link - https://wonderful.org/fundraiser/ anngillianscoasttocoastchallenge-2e8def60 Any amount would be really appreciated.

Kingswells Primary School News Spectra Spectra is the festival of light. It was held at Marischal College, Union Terrace Gardens and St Nicholas Kirk in February. Schools from across the city took part in doing something based around Spectra.

Inspired by SPECTRA, all classes at Kingswells Primary School took part in a whole school PROJECT about light which was shared with parents during an open afternoon. Everyone really enjoyed doing all the activities there was to offer in the topic. We have taken a lot of time and effort to produce this interesting project.

P7 linked their learning about plastic pollution in the oceans to their light installation. The Marine Conservation Society came in to classes to present a very interesting talk to us about how much plastic is affecting sea life. We have learned about how long plastic takes to break up, if at all and have researched the issue of plastic in society and have found out amazing and interesting facts. Plastic is a bigger threat than you know and we took that into account when we made our sea creatures.

Plastic is becoming more of a problem every day. Millions of pieces of plastic are being discarded.

Each P7 Pupil used an empty 2 litre plastic bottle to design and make into a sea creature. They were sanded down and decorated them with UV (ultra violet) paint.

We let them dry and hung them from the ceiling. We also made giant parabolas using UV wool on wooden frames to represent fishing nets.

We learned about bioluminescence which is

found in lots of sea life. They use it to attract food, protect themselves against predators and to find a mate. You may have seen a picture or two about it on the news or in Blue Planet 2. Bioluminescence occurs through a chemical reaction that produces light energy within an organism’s body. For a reaction to occur, a species must contain Luciferin, a molecule that, when it reacts with oxygen, produces light.

To show this effect we used UV lightbulbs which made our installation glow when we turned all the lights out in class We have taken a lot of time and effort to produce this big project.

Minecraft – Arts Across Learning

Last week Primary 6 and 7 had a visit from Mark and Phil, who are technicians, and they taught us how to code on Minecraft, using

Check out our website www.gazettemagazines.com

04-Apr-18 9:05:25 PM

Python. Python is a coding application that allows you to programme everyday games (like Minecraft). It has a design philosophy that emphasises code readability, noteably using significant. We learned how to place certain blocks (dirt, wood, stone etc.)

We were given a book of instructions of what code to type in to Python to control Minecraft. There were lots of different codes for different things, such as how to make flowers and TNT appear when you walk.

We also briefly spoke about Raspberry Pi’s.

Raspberry Pi’s is a series of small single board computers developed in the UK by

using fun and enjoyable activities. It is, as we all know, very important to be safe and Absafe taught us just that.

When we arrived, the whole class got an interesting talk from Malcolm, the owner of Absafe, he told us about making dangerous consequences safer. After that we took a quiz on how to keep safe in our everyday life.

After our talk we all split up into our different groups. One group went into the bedroom.

We played a bullying version of ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? ’ We took it in turns to read out questions about bullying. The majority got the questions right.

Secondly, we made our way to the road safety room. In there we watched a short film about three boys crossing the road and the last boy got run over. We had to right down the ways to make this event safer. We had a risk chart and we tried to get the risk down to green, which means totally safe, but the only way we could do that is to not do it at all. So we could only get it to amber.

the Raspberry Pi Foundation to promote the teaching of basic computer science in schools. It is a credit card sized computer.

It’s available anywhere in the world, and can function as a proper desktop computer and can be used to build smart devices.

Overall, everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and it was a great experience. P6 and P7 all learned something new especially if they hadn’t been on Minecraft before.

Next we went into the train safety room. The leader of this activity pretended to drop her phone on the train rail and she chose one of us to go retrieve it. When they went onto the train track the light went on and a colossal noise went off. This showed what it would be like to be on real train tracks. They advised

Visit to Absafe On the 21st of March, P7EH from Kingswells Primary went on a visit to Absafe. We did a lot of great activities and we all had a great time.

us to not go onto train tracks for anything. e : kingswells@gazettemagazines.com

Ever! We then took a corners quiz and we had a question and answers. We went to the corner with the answer we thought was true.

We found out that a train weighs the same as eighty elephants. We also found out that a train has to stop 20 football pitches away from their final destination. Will you promise to never get anything from train tracks?

Then we went out for lunch and got to go outside for a bit. We watched a show of Tracy Beaker indicating us to be safe and aware with our social medias. Then we played a game to try and keep our online passwords safe from the Vikings.

Then we went to have another quiz. Our scores had improved by then as we had a lot of important and helpful information in our visit. We got a few 27/27 scores and we all cheered.

We really enjoyed Absafe. It was a great experience. It made learning about things we don’t know a lot about fun. We would all definitely recommend going. It is so important to be safe and hopefully we can make all occasions amber or green.

-Grace and Maryam

Then we went into the kitchen where we had to spot all the dangers in there. After a while we spotted an aerosol can and got told that the dangers of inhaling it is equivalent to having a drug. It is called solvent abuse. We watched a video about people who are being affected by this or even dying.

After the kitchen we went into the living room and we talked about fire safety. We also had to pick out the dangers in this room. We watched another video about people lying about house fires and putting other people in danger by making hoax calls.

The Questionnaire Kingswells Community Council would like to improve the way we communicate with you and to ensure we identify the issues most important to you. Can you please spare a few minutes to let us know your views?

The questionnaire is available online at http://kwells.org/quest-april-18 If you don’t have access to the internet please complete the form, tear off the form and pop it in the post box in front of the Community Centre in the Village Centre.

Alternatively, post to Kingswells Community Council, 3 Corse Avenue, Kingswells, AB15 8TL. Thank you for taking the time to complete this form.

Local Development Plan The new Local Development Plan (LDP) will guide development in the City up to 2031. We are now at the beginning of the five yearly review process.

The first stage of the LDP Review Process is the Pre-Main Issues Report. During this stage ACC will consult community councils and developers to determine significant issues in the City. The public will be consulted later this year, but if you have any views you want KCC to take forward please let us know. You could use the questionnaire or come along to one of our meetings.

The comments made will influence the preparation of the Main Issues Report later this year. The Main Issues Report lists the main issues facing the city and suggests a range of options to address these issues. This is where the public will become involved in the consultation.

You can get more details from the links to Development Plan on http://kwells.org

New Members The membership of KCC has changed significantly over the last year. We would like to thank the outgoing members for their service and welcome the new members.

Restrictions on the rules governing KCC limit the number of members that can be co-opted on to replace the outgoing members, and we now have four new associate members.

All community councils in Aberdeen will be elected in October, so this temporary restriction will be resolved then.

We can have any number of associate members, so if you are interested please come to one of our meetings and have a chat.

Could you have anxiety even if you function to a high standard?

it’s often the case that people with High Functioning Anxiety don’t realise that they have an anxiety disorder that would benefit from treatment.

The physical symptoms of anxiety can include headaches, a fast heartbeat, sweating, shaking, stomach aches, tense muscles, chest pain, dizziness, breathlessness and problems concentrating.

This is a common scenario here in Aberdeen, with the increased pressures in the oil and gas industry. With workloads ramping up as the workforce continues to shrink, High Functioning Anxiety is a growing problem and one that I’ve been supporting numerous clients with through Solution Focused Hypnotherapy since the economic situation worsened.

These type of symptoms can be very debilitating and are what people typically associate with anxiety. However, some people experience very high levels of anxiety but still manage to struggle through life without treatment.

With High Functioning Anxiety, you’re still able to get yourself up and off to work but are plagued by anxious thoughts, a racing mind and chronic insomnia. None of this is obvious to other people and as you’re still able to perform your job to a good standard,

with NHS

My 33 years of clinical experience (including mental health nursing) means I’ve been able to help clients to overcome High Functioning Anxiety. The first step is to recognise that anxiety still requires treatment, even if you still seem to be coping okay with life. Think how much better life would be when you’re not fighting a constant battle with your mind!

KINGSWELLS CHURCH NEWS Our Minister, Rev. Alisa McDonald, took her last service with us on Sunday 25th March. Alisa is moving to be the Parish Minister at Barnhill St Margaret’s Church in Broughty Ferry. Alisa brought a freshness of approach and a depth to our worship and praise: her message has always been inclusive, recognising the importance of all sectors of our community irrespective of colour, race and sexual orientation. Her legacy is a freshness of spirit, a better understanding of what God expects of us, and the promotion of a compassionate regard and unconditional love of all people. We feel sadness at her leaving, but rejoice with her in anticipation of this next phase of her life as a parish minister.

While we wait to start the recruitment process for a new minister, services continue as usual on Sunday mornings at 11am. We will have a number of visiting ministers leading worship, and this will add variety to our services. Activities for Young Church and Creche also continue as usual, and you will be assured of a warm welcome at our services.

A new initiative starting on Wednesday 4th April is NOSH and NATTER. This is a lunchtime friendship club which will meet in the church halls from 12.30 to 2.30pm on the first Wednesday of each month. A soup lunch, entertainment and fellowship are offered to everyone on the community. Please come along and support this initiative which has been made possible through funding received from the Kingswells Co-op Community Fund.

At a time when mass redundancy due to the financial failure of employers is a timely topic, it is worth reviewing an oftenoverlooked right of employees: their entitlement to protective awards.

When collective redundancy situations arise, employers must consult with the representatives of affected employees before they start the process. If they fail to do so, the employees can be entitled to up to 90 days pay, called a ‘protective award’.

Where an employer becomes insolvent, the government can make these awards through a fund called the National Insurance Fund (commonly abbreviated as ‘NIF’) which is, partially, designed to cover these situations.

While it is not guaranteed that everything owed to you will be paid, the main payments that you can claim are up to 8 weeks arrears of wages, statutory notice pay, holiday pay, and redundancy pay.

A limit applies to the maximum rate of pay per week that can be claimed under all of these headings, and that rate is currently £489/ week. If an employee earns more than that, the NIF will only pay out at that rate, leaving some of their claim unpaid. Before the NIF will make any payment, however, an employment tribunal must order that you are entitled to the protective award.

While company administrators or liquidators will usually tell employees all about claiming pay, notice, redundancy and holidays from the NIF, they rarely inform employees about the right to claim for a protective award.

Raeburn, Christie, Clark & Wallace would be happy to guide you through this often stressful and difficult process.

For more information please contact a member of the employment team.

News from Councillor Delaney...

Hopefully we’ve now seen the last of winter and can look forward to some warmer weather.

It was a long winter, made so much worse by the “Beast from the East” and, bad as it was, we fared so much better than many other parts of the country. On a positive note, things can only get better, but not until after the backlog of potholes have been cleared!

It’s pretty much par for the course, but I do feel the council, in an attempt to balance the books, employs false economy when it comes to road repairs. We have some decent pothole repairs over the past year or so, but the quality has not been consistent and anecdotal evidence suggests standards are slipping once more.

The crumbling road surfaces at various locations in Kingswells have been reported and I await responses. The list of roads and pavements which are to be resurfaced during the next financial year is likely to be published mid April.

Of course potholes has not been the only issue we’ve faced in recent weeks. Last month we saw flash flooding across the North East with a particularly concerning situation arising in Old Skene Road and John Arthur Court. As water levels rose rapidly, the street drains were unable to cope and a lot of water began streaming down the road. As bad as this was, the primary risk was to homes in John Arthur Court as water careered down the slope.

Luckily there was no damage to property and nobody was injured, but this was primarily down to the resilience of local people pulling together in a crisis and helping out their neighbours. The council also sent a team to assess the situation and distribute sand bags. They are to follow up with works on the street drains and the main culvert and these are expected to be completed by the time you read this.

Ongoing issues with overflowing rubbish at the recycling facility at the Park & Ride remain unresolved. The council has yet to take a decision as to whether this facility will remain now that the “new” household recycling service has settled down and recycling rates are up. If it is retained we need more regular pick ups, a case I have already made. Regardless, people dumping rubbish next to the recycling bins does not help the situation.

Now back to the long running saga of poor broadband connections in the north of the village.

It may not seem like it, but works are indeed ongoing and the majority of unconnected homes should be able to get fast broadband connections within the next few months. Concraig Park, the largest unconnected street, will be done over the next 3-6 months. Unfortunately, like the rest of the programme, there’s no details of timescales for any of the other streets.

I have made Openreach aware of a handful of properties in Wellside Circle, Wellside Place and Derbeth Park which were not completed along with the rest of the homes in these streets.

They have confirmed these addresses are indeed on the programme. Other than that, half of Derbeth Grange has still to be done and I’m chasing that up once again.

If you are still awaiting connection, please check out your address on www.scotlandsuperfast. com periodically. Don’t be put off if it says they are having difficulties and nothing is expected

within 12 months. This is a standard message which only changes once the service is up and running!

Sadly I’m going to end on buses as not everyone may be aware of the expected withdrawal of Stagecoach’s 210 service from 7th May. This service was subsidised by Aberdeenshire Council for the benefit of their own residents.

Unfortunately its withdrawal is likely to have an impact on Kingswells residents as the service ran eight buses a day through the village, terminating at ARI. The significance of this announcement cannot be quantified until we know what’s happening with the replacement for the No 94 shuttle bus, something I will hopefully have informed you about separately before you read this!

As always, please get in touch to raise any concerns you may have. I hold monthly surgeries in Kingswells Community Centre and regularly attend the meetings of various community groups in the area. I would of course be more Councillor Steve Delaney than happy to receive an invitation to attend Home Tel: 01224 694469 any groups I am not currently attending.

Why is stretching so important?

There are many health benefits to undertaking a flexibility programme: Benefits of stretching: Improved range of movement at a joint. Whether the joint is your finger, elbow, knee hips or ankle we all need to be able to move them for our daily functions. Keeping them all moving is essential to healthy joints, muscles and mind.

Increased muscle power. Due to good blood supply, and taking the muscle to its limit stretching a muscle will provide more muscle fibres to be working. When it’s as long as it can be and mobile, we will achieve more power from all the muscle fibres working when we move.

Reduced post exercise muscle soreness. Given that a muscle will tear slightly when exercising, but builds stronger for doing so, a stretch will reduce the soreness of the muscle by bringing the blood supply into it to repair it.

Reduces fatigue. Following exercise the muscle soreness can cause fatigue, but stretching will reduce or eliminate this possibility.

Improves posture. The greater length the muscle is the better we are able to stand tall and move well. A body builder will increase muscle he reduces the ability to move so well due to too much tissue at a joint and little or no stretching in their fitness programme.

There are 5 different types of stretches - static stretching being one of them.

But all of them we do at our Strength & Balance classes in Mannofield & Cults.

If you would like to come to class, or have a class near you please contact Laura on 07773021851 Looking for a speaker at your group?

Kingwells Health Walks Please come and join us. Kingswells Health Walks are short, gentle walks of between one to three miles. They start every Thursday morning at 10.30 from the Community Centre and return after about an hour with the option of a stop for coffee and a chat. The walks are led by local trained volunteers and are free. We go out every week, whatever the weather, except when extreme conditions make it unsafe. You don’t need any special equipment, just sensible, comfortable shoes and clothing suitable for the weather. It is an opportunity to make new friends and explore Kingswells and its surroundings. We are lucky to live in such an attractive area with a variety of pleasant walks.

Some folk may already be reasonably fit and active and for them we can walk at a normal pace, but there will always be a leader who is prepared to take beginners and slower walkers, or those with health problems, who prefer to go at a more gentle pace. We have been assessed as Dementia friendly and suitable for the Move More programme of activity for people affected by cancer. Walking has many health benefits for us all, whatever our age or ability. Health walks occur all over Scotland and are supported by Paths For All and Sport Aberdeen and are approved by the NHS. Bring along your family, friends, and neighbours too! We do hope to welcome you soon.

However, if you don’t fancy walking, there are all sorts of other activities for people of any fitness level, or with disabilities, of any age and gender, organised by Sport Aberdeen.

They use a variety of different venues around Aberdeen. You will find all the information on their website: sportaberdeen.co.uk.

sea symbolically to the city. The gesture was thought to keep sea-farers safe for the coming year. The ceremony of the Marriage of the Sea continues to this day.

Lo Sposalizio del Mare, or the Marriage of the Sea was an ancient ceremony which used to symbolise the maritime domination of Venice. It took the form of a solemn procession of boats, headed by the Doge's lavish ship, out to sea by the port on the Lido. In 1177 Pope Alexander III drew a ring from his finger and bade the Doge cast a ring into the sea each year on Ascension Day, and in so doing, wed the

The Aberdeen Bach Choir’s concert is an attempt at a musical reconstruction of Lo Sposalizio as it might have sounded in the 1630s. The first half will consist of madrigals and sacred music by Giovanni and Andrea Gabrieli, as would have been played and sung on the water during the procession of boats, and the second half will be a reconstruction of the church service held afterwards in the church of San Nicolo, on the Lido.

The concert will be held at St Machar’s Cathedral at 7.45pm. Tickets are available from Aberdeen Performing Arts at £15, £12 for concessions, £5 for students and children under 16 are free.
