Editorial From the Editor... Hello and welcome to the January edition of the Stowmarket & District Flyer. A new year and it's a new start for the Flyer, last year was a great year with many many new businesses advertising with us and we hope and work for more of the same in 2010. If you have or know of any events that are happening in or around Stowmarket in 2010 please let me know so we can make sure we let as many people as possible know about it. There is no better form of advertising than word of mouth, combine that with 7000+ people talking about your event or business and you have a mix that's destined for success.
Gary Rayner, Editor of the Stowmarket Flyer
The Stowmarket & District Flyer has plans to be delivered in rural villages in the Stowmarket area increasing it’s circulation throughout 2010, in the hope of bringing you news and events from these new areas.
We’re putting together the Stowmarket Flyer website (www.stowmarketflyer.co.uk) where you will be able to advertise and read the Flyer online. The website will have up to the minute news and reviews on events and businesses in and around Stowmarket. A dedicated website for the flyer is a new idea and one I hope will grow and spread to be as successful as the Flyer itself. And remember, for anyone interested, Stowmarket isn't the only place the Flyer goes to, we cover the whole of Suffolk with a Flyer magazine for almost every area..! I wish you a very Happy New Year and hope you're all sticking to your resolutions. Regards, Gary Rayner (Editor)
Deadline for content for the February Edition is the 25th of January so please call the Stowmarket Flyer on 01449 798333 or email editor@stowmarketflyer.co.uk

Your Garden Garden Matters With Ken Crowther - House Plants If you were given a present of Hyacinths in a bowl for indoors, keep in a cool, shady spot where the temperature is about 10C (50F) and leave the container there. Once you can see the flower head peeping through move the bowl to its flowering position. For the longest flowering season this should be a bright, but not sunny spot, away from draughts, away from a radiator or heater, and fairly cool in the 15-21C (60-70F) range.
has come in a box with pot and compost follow the instructions for planting. If the bulb is bought 'loose', plant it up in a 15cm (6 in) pot using multi-purpose compost. Set the bulb so that at least half of it is exposed above the level of the compost. Wet the compost and store in a warm place until growth starts. Make sure the surface of the compost dries out between watering.
Don't over water the compost or the bulbs will tend to rot. Wait until the surface of the bulb fibre dries out and then water carefully. Use tepid water rather than freezing cold straight from the tap and add some feed every couple of weeks. Once the flowers have faded, cut off the flower stalk and find a cool light spot indoors for the bulb to continue growing. Water and feed as required and you will be able to dry off the bulb for storage during the summer. Next autumn, plant the bulb outside in garden soil or patio tubs ready to bloom again the following spring.
I can't finish without mentioning Poinsettias as many of you will have had one for Christmas. They still need watering and feeding every couple of weeks, with a good general purpose plant food such as Baby Bio.
Another great bulb to grow is Amaryllis as they have a spectacular stem topped with large trumpet flowers that last a long time if you keep it in fairly cool conditions. If your bulb
www.flyeronline.co.uk
The Amaryllis will bloom on the top of a stout flower stalk before the strap-like leaves have grown to any size. Keep the plant in a warm, well-lit place and continue to water. The bulb may well throw up another flower stem a few weeks after the original one.

Drive Safely in Bad weather Suffolk Police's top tips for winter driving
Suffolk Police's top tips for winter driving include:
Members of the Suffolk Resilience Forum, including Suffolk County Council, Suffolk Constabulary, NHS Suffolk, and district and borough councils, are working together once again to ensure the county's residents stay safe during the current adverse weather conditions. The Forum is issuing a series of key messages and top tips to let people in the county know what's being done to deal with the bad weather and how they can keep safe in the snow and ice.
During z z z z z z z z z
wintry weather conditions: Ask yourself - is your journey essential? Check the local and national weather forecasts. Listen to local and national radio for travel information. Tell someone at your destination what time you expect to arrive. Adjust your driving to the conditions, as hail, heavy snow and rain reduce visibility. Use dipped headlights and reduce your speed. Dazzle from winter sun can be dangerous. Keep a pair of sunglasses handy and slow down. Make sure you are equipped with warm clothes, food, boots and a torch. In snowy conditions, take a spade. Clear your windows and mirrors before you set out and carry a screen scraper and de-icer.
Vehicle condition: z In winter it is even more important to check your vehicle is well maintained and serviced. z Keep the lights, windows and mirrors clean and free from ice and snow. z Keep your battery fully charged. z Add anti-freeze to the radiator and winter additive to the windscreen washer bottles. z Make sure wipers and lights are in good working order. z Check that tyres have plenty of tread depth and are maintained at the correct pressure.

Keith Wood Associates Reg Ruffles, Suffolk's Assistant County Trading Standards Officer, said; "The fact that the team have stopped these from entering the country is a great result but our concern is that similar products are known to be on sale via internet auction sites.
Self-employment Whether you are starting your own business because that is what you have always wanted to do, or because you have been made redundant in the credit crunch, there are some rules you will need to follow to avoid running into problems.
"People may use these items thinking they are safe but they may receive an electric shock if the product leaks. Our tests on the water bottles stopped at the Port of Felixstowe show that the product does not meet safety requirements, as electrodes are used to directly heat the water. We advise anyone who has purchased an electric hot water bottle not to use it and contact trading standards for further guidance."
Firstly, you will need to register with HM Revenue and Customs If you have purchased an electric hot water bottle please within 3 months of starting your business. If you don't you may contact Suffolk Trading Standards on 01473 264859. have to pay a penalty. You are required to keep records of your business for at least 5 years and 10 months after the end of the tax year to which the records relate. You will also need to complete some forms on an annual basis depending on how you decide to trade, and, of course, you will have to pay tax on your profits. Other income will need to be taken into account such as bank interest, or if you have any dividends, and included in your tax return. There are 4 deadlines you will need to keep in mind for sending in your tax return and paying any tax due, and penalties and surcharges may be applied if you miss these. Keep an eye on your turnover, as you will have to register for VAT if your sales exceed ÂŁ68,000 in a twelve month, and complete a VAT return quarterly. There is a lot to bear in mind when running your own business, and if you are interested in taking this on, do give us a call to discuss the above in more detail. We have lots of experience with start-ups, from form-filling to bookkeeping and filing your tax returns. Call us on 01449 798285 or see our advert on page ? for more details
Warning! electric hot water bottles Suffolk Trading Standards has stopped a consignment of potentially lethal electric hot water bottles from entering the country and are concerned that more may be in circulation.

Cllr Rae Leighton, Portfolio Holder for Public Protection said; "Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service continue to deliver a service which is very cost effective compared to all other fire and rescue services. We have the lowest cost per head of population in England and maintain high performance. "The Audit Commission praised the service for working well with its partners and delivering a wide range of community initiatives, specifically focused on vulnerable people. The fire service has also launched a number of initiatives to improve the health and fitness of young people in the county." SFRS has been commended for reducing the number of deliberate fires as well as lowering the number of people who are injured in a fire. Cllr Leighton continued; "Although the results we have received are pleasing, Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service is not complacent. We know there are still areas where we can improve and we will continue to do what we need to in order to protect the people of Suffolk."

Health Matters Health Matters
With Dr Janet M. Massey
The bowel cancer prevention card is coming to Suffolk One cancer can be prevented. Perhaps this is not one that we like to talk about, and those who have it don't discuss it as much as those who suffer from breast or prostate cancer. However bowel cancer takes about 7 years to develop and we now have a way of finding and preventing it at an early stage. Dr Janet M. Massey Bowel cancer usually starts in a polyp in the rectum or colon. Polyps may slowly change into cancers which start to grow into the wall of the bowel. As they grow, some of the polyps cause bleeding, traces of which can be picked up if faeces are put onto a special card, and this is sent to the laboratory. Although some polyps may not bleed, this is the safest and the most economical screening method we have at the present, provided that the test is repeated every two years.
very busy year, with lots of support from local people and organisations. In addition, we take the opportunity to reward our younger members, for all their achievements. We have a very active youth section, and many certificates and badges were received from visiting senior members of the organisation. Our leader in charge took the opportunity to thank our local council, police force and fire service, for their help and guidance during the year. We are looking forward to another busy, but successful year in 2010. Perhaps you are ready to learn something new in 2010? If you are interested in volunteering opportunities with St John Ambulance, then you are most welcome to come along to one of our meetings and have a chat, and a cup of tea! We meet on Monday evenings, from 7.30 pm for adults, at Kingsfield School, Chilton Way, Stowmarket. Alternatively, you may prefer to contact our Leader in Charge, Mrs J Wager, 01359 270334.

Your GP surgery nurse can start of the pre-planning consultation process. also answer your queries. The ÂŁ4.75m building called The Mix will be built opposite the Regal Cinema. It will be an exciting modern facility providing If you are one of those with blood in the faeces, you will be young people with a safe space to explore their talents, sent an appointment for an investigation of the lower bowel socialise with friends and access independent advice and with a flexible light source (endoscopy) which has replaced guidance from various specialists. the previous rigid tool! You will also be asked to clear the bowel so that the surgeon can see the bowel wall clearly. S/he can also treat you, often by being able to remove even large polyps at the time of the endoscopy. Noit all traces of blood in the stool come from polyps or a cancer, and other illnesses such as ulcerative colitis may also be found and treatment started for this.
Councillor Graham Newman, Portfolio Holder for Children, Schools, and Young People's Services said;
"This new development in Stowmarket represents a superb and almost unique investment in young people's services. It's really fantastic to see how the different statutory agencies are coming together and providing a range of services in a Once again, most people will not have a problem, but unles purpose-built environment.
