Prepare for platform party
North Dorset Railway is preparing for a busy summer, kicking off with a 1960s Gala Weekend at Shillingstone Station to showcase how far it has come since it was ‘closed’ in 1966.
The weekend of June 6 and 7 will be very much a party to celebrate all that’s been achieved.
As well as tours of the station and signal box, there will be guided walks of the new track extension, and also a pair of model railway layouts,
including a steam version. There will be displays by the Big Yellow Bus Project, the Countryside Regeneration Trust, the North Dorset Trailway and the Blandford Fashion Museum, the Spetisbury Station Project and the Somerset and Dorset Railway Trust.
And it will all be boosted by home-made cake and toetapping music.
The station will be open both days from 10.00am until 4.00pm and entry is free though donations will be welcome.
Therapeutic classrooms transforming learning
Therapeutic classrooms in a Dorset school have radically improved attendance, engagement and behaviour, its headteacher has said.
John Bagwell, right, introduced the concept in January to two Year 3 classrooms and a ‘breakout space’ at Parley First School. It is based on work by childhood trauma specialist and founder of the ‘Therapeutic Classrooms’, Shahana Knight.
The plastic tables and chairs have been replaced by solid wooden desks of varying shapes, and comfortable leather seats. Sofas, heavy blankets and greenery have also been included in a bid to ‘bring the home into school’.
John said: “The therapeutic approach to learning meets the needs of all children but additional benefit is to those children with more complex needs.
“We have been working towards this for two years - there has been an initial investment but the tables and chairs will last for generations.
“On the walls are photos of the

children and staff to give a sense of belonging and to see them as individuals.
“I have been working with Shahana and she designed the classrooms and break-out space.
“Since Christmas, attendance and engagement have improved and behavioural incidents have dropped significantly, with no incidents to report.
“The change of environment has significantly improved the children’s engagement and focus.
“Each morning the children do mindfulness exercises and during the day they eat fresh fruit and are encouraged to keep hydrated.
“The old plastic chairs that most people will remember sitting on when they were at school we hope to send to Africa through an education charity.”

The Museum of East Dorset has announced two more dates for its popular Tearoom Makers Market on Saturdays, June 20, and September 26, from 10am–3pm.
The markets celebrate local creativity, bringing together Dorset-based artists, crafters and small businesses offering hand-made goods ranging from jewellery and ceramics to prints, homewares and artisan gifts.
Visitors can also enjoy homemade cakes and refreshments from the Garden Tearoom.
Local makers interested in taking part are encouraged to enquire early via programming@ museumofeastdorset.co.uk, as space is limited. The museum is situated at 23-29 High Street, Wimborne.
Crossing issue ‘black & white’
The headteacher of Ferndown Middle School has backed the campaign to keep its lollipop lady.
Sarah Middleton’s role helping children cross the busy Church Road will finish at the end of term, but the school community is campaigning to have her retained.
Headteacher Grant Hopkins, pictured, said that despite two zebra crossings being installed, danger remains.
He said that the weight of traffic along with many high, 4x4 vehicles and aggressive driving puts his pupils at risk.
Dorset Council terminated the contracts of several of its school crossing patrol officers and replaced them with zebra crossings.
Battersea Power
zebra crossings, some cars just will not stop.
“We see more 4x4 vehicles and this means drivers are less likely to be able to see children right in front of them.
Grant said: “Sarah does an incredible job and everyone was aghast when we learned that she would not be with us from September.
“I have stood on the road with her in the morning and watched her at work, and also seen the dangers.
“There is a great deal of traffic
“The crossing is used by our children and those at the first school and I am fully behind the campaign to keep her. We really don’t know why she is being relieved of her duties.”
Sarah, 53, has been the school lollipop lady for 18 months.
She said: “My two children used to go to the school but
so it needs to be manned.
“I receive a lot of abuse from drivers, some of whom just don’t want to stop - the zebra crossings don’t stop them”
Councillor Cathy Lugg, who has a granddaughter at each school uses the crossing.
She said: “The crossing patrol needs to stay - it is the principle of having someone to patrol the road.
“I may be the local councillor but I use the crossing - without the patrol it becomes very dangerous.”
Land girl through & through
Mile Oak Rest Home resident Violet Heckford has celebrated her 100th birthday. Violet was born in Pottery Road, Poole on May 22, 1926, the first of 10 children.
The family moved to Corfe Mullen and she went to Lockyers School where she met her future husband, David.
After school she joined the Land Army delivering milk on a horse and cart around Broadstone.
Vi and David married on August 20, 1946, at the Chapel in the Valley, Corfe Mullen. Their first home was rooms in the Towers with Dave working on various farms across Dorset, finally settling in Holt, with their two girls Marian and Angela in the 1950s, where Colin was born.
Vi had various jobs, her favourite being a dinner lady at the village schools which she did for more than 24 years.
Family life was busy with Vi tackling the decorating and even making her own double glazing. For their 50th wedding anniversary they took a flight on Concorde.
Losing her beloved Dave in 1999 was extremely hard; she also suffered from various illnesses and accidents which she overcame them all and during a chat with her doctor she said she was planning to live to 100, which she has now achieved.
Vi has four grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.
Keys open the door to training centre
Bournemouth-based charity SAMEE (Support and Mentoring Enabling Entrepreneurship) is expanding its work with young people with complex needs and disabilities through the launch of a new vocational training centre in the town.
The new facility, at the Coach House in Deans Park Road, sits just a short distance away from the first ‘SAMEE house’ which was opened last year.
The multi-award-winning charity will use the space as a dedicated vocational hub, giving interns a safe, supportive environment to build life skills, workplace confidence and practical experience.
SAMEE is nationally and internationally recognised for creating the UK’s first two-year supported self-employment internship programme, a pioneering programme offering intensive mentoring and training for young adults with learning difficulties, long-term health conditions and neurodivergence. Interns gain hands-on experience and develop the skills needed to start their own businesses or move into meaningful employment.
Pictured are the SAMEE team picking up the keys, from left, Sianell White, Samantha Everard MBE, Rob Amey and Wayne Ingram.
Carnival brings community together
Residents and visitors are invited to enjoy a vibrant programme of events as the Corfe Mullen Carnival returns, with its main celebration taking place on Saturday, June 13.
The much-loved annual occasion forms part of an exciting series of activities, bringing the community together through entertainment, fundraising, and shared celebration.
Organised by a dedicated team of volunteers, the carnival has long been a highlight of the
local calendar, uniting families, businesses, and community groups in support of a wide range of local causes.
This year continues that tradition, with proceeds helping to fund community initiatives and support local beneficiaries, including the 2nd Corfe Mullen Scout Group and Corfe Mullen United Juniors Football Club.
The celebrations begin with a Horse Race Night on Friday, May 29, hosted at the Royal British Legion.
The programme continues
with a quiz night at the Dorset Soldier on Thursday, June 11, and the centrepiece of the programme, Carnival Day, is held at the Platinum Jubilee Fields (recreation ground) on Saturday, June 13.
Free to attend, ensuring it remains accessible to all, visitors can enjoy a wide selection of stalls, games, food vendors and attractions, alongside live entertainment throughout the day.
The carnival parade leaves Albert Road at 1.00pm.
MP’s backing for residents’ safety petition
An MP is backing a Wimborne residents’ petition to make a busy route safer for pedestrians - who include many local schoolchildren.
The petition, which has already attracted 574 signatures, was launched by a Wimborne mum who experienced a near-miss with a vehicle while crossing the road on her school pick-up run. Petition organiser Rosanna Dean said: “This road has become significantly busier - and with additional housing developments, pressures on infrastructure have increased significantly.”
Her petition proposes a zebra crossing and pedestrian refuge on Wimborne Road near Knobcrook Bridge and the BP garage.
Among the residents backing her proposal is Liberal Democrat MP Vikki Slade who said: “I intend to present the petition in Parliament in the coming weeks and will use any other avenue available to me to ensure that the strength of community feeling is heard loudly and clearly”.
All aboard for wooden train
The first train since 1956 arrived at Spetisbury station earlier this month... however, this one was made of wood! A popular children’s feature at the station had been the log train but after it was removed at the end of last year after it rotted, many disappointed people asked when it would return.
Earlier this year members of Spetisbury Station Project sourced materials to make a replacement, but before work could begin they were contacted by Spetisbury parish councillor Stephen Dunhill. Stephen had spotted a play train advertised and offered to
co-ordinate the purchase and delivery of it from Hampshire. Even better, when the seller Peter Morton learned all about the Spetisbury Station Project, he generously offered it free of charge!
Peter also arranged for an inspection report as required by Dorset Council.
The train arrived at Spetisbury on May 7, assisted by volunteer Paul.
This was no easy task, as access onto the trailway at Blandford St Mary had to be arranged to get the vehicle and trailer to the station.
Some repairs are necessary before Dorset Council grants
permission for its use, but it is hoped to have it ready in its permanent position later this year.
In the meantime, it remains fenced off.
If anyone is interested in helping with its renovation, they are asked to contact the group via their website spetisburystationproject. wordpress.com.
n Also this month, the second running-in board was installed. Like the one on the opposite platform, it has been made by Vic Whiting in the workshop at Shillingstone Station using surplus hardwood from their brake van restoration project.
Is regime justification for war?
I would not disgree with Chris Wilkinson (New Stour & Avon, May 15), regarding the inhuman nature of the Iranian regime.
But was this justification for Trump and Netenyahu to (illegally) declare war, especially when there are equally odious regimes elsewhere?
My main point: Was this any reason why Christopher Chope MP, stated that the UK should have meekly followed yet another dubious US military debacle - a view shared by his Tory leader and by Trump lackey Nigel Farage.

Spring concert raises £766
At the end of April the Fayrewood Singers held their spring concert, ‘As Long As We Have Music’ at Verwood Methodist Church.
The programme, as usual, was varied, ranging from John Rutter to traditional folk melodies. We also heard songs from the musicals including, of course, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. Older songs included ‘Lean On Me’ by Bill Withers, ‘Misty’ by Erroll Garner and ‘He Was Beautiful’ by Stanley Myers.
The concert concluded with the song which the choir has adopted as its theme song, ‘You Raise Me Up’, a song which cannot fail to pull at the heart strings.
A total of £766 went to the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance. During the proceedings Jean Steele, one of the choir members, gave a brief, but inspiring outline of their work. for the charity. Thanks go to all the singers, both conductors and the accompanist.

Helping young people in transition to adult services
The transition from children’s services to adult services creates vast amounts of anxiety for families with disabled children as they are facing changes, new services, and new people.

Iconic Jaguar sports car roars into Charterhouse
A 1959 Jaguar XK150S fixed head coupe is one of the star cars in the Charterhouse auction of classic and vintage cars at the Haynes Motor Museum on Thursday, June 4.
Richard Bromell of Charterhouse said: “The Jaguar XK150 was the third incarnation of the XK range for Jaguar following on from the XK120 and the XK140. “All were fast, but the XK150S was the fastest with a top speed of mre than 130mph and a 0-60 time of 7.8 seconds which is very respectable today.”
WANTED Books hardback, fountain pens, coins and stamps, costume jewellery. Cash paid. Telephone Mr Jones 01202 733550
This XK150S was bought by the owner in 1972. By 1987 the Jaguar needed some restoration which was started, but by 1989 the project had stalled and this XK150 was garaged from 1989 until Charterhouse were asked to the property to value the car after the owner sadly passed away. There are nearly 60 classic and vintage cars being sold by Charterhouse in their auction which is being held at the Haynes Motor Museum on Thursday, June 4.
Viewing, at the museum, is on Wednesday, June 3.

Bikers rally for care home resident’s wish
ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE
Dozens of local bikers united to surprise a Parkstone care home resident at his own motorbike rally.
Tony, who lives in Alexandra House in Parkstone, spoke to the care home team about his lifelong passion for motorbikes. He started off at school on bicycles, before progressing on to mopeds, scooters and then motorbikes, often travelling to motorbike scrambling meetings in the West Country. In his working career, he became a bike mechanic before setting up his own shop, Seaview Motorcycles, in Poole.
After hearing Tony’s stories about his love for motorbikes, the activities team at Alexandra House, which is run by not-forprofit charity, Care South, put out a message to local bikers to put on a surprise rally for Tony in the home’s car park.
Bikers travelled from across Dorset and Wiltshire to be at the event, with many being members of the Bournemouth and Poole Bikers Forum.
In total, 36 bikes were there for Tony to admire, including bikes ridden by his daughter, Sally, and her husband, Graham, who joined him at the event.
Sally said: “Dad was very surprised when he saw it all.
“It was great for the Alexandra House team to arrange this for him.
“The staff just go out of their way to make wishes come true for the residents.”
The special visit was arranged as part of Care South’s ‘Make a Wish’ initiative which encourages residents to share hobbies and passions they once enjoyed but are now unable to pursue without the home’s support. The care home team then works to bring the special wish to life.
Lana Wright, home manager at Alexandra House, said: “It was lovely to see the huge
smile on Tony’s face as he saw our car park filled with motorbikes, with the look and smell of the bikes igniting happy memories for him.”
Alexandra House, which is part of the Care South family of care homes, provides residential, respite, and dementia care. It features a dedicated activities team which organises a daily programme of events to bring residents together to socialise and build friendships.
Ella’s our little miracle
Ella’s mum Chloe says Julia’s House is helping to fill her daughter’s world with giggles and laughter...
When she was just three days old, we were told to prepare to say goodbye. Her consultants didn’t think she would survive long enough to come home. But Ella is five now, and she continues to surprise everyone.
Ella has the most severe form of Edwards’ syndrome, a rare genetic condition that affects almost every organ and causes significant developmental delay. Children with this condition are often described as ‘incompatible with life’, but anyone who has met Ella knows how wrong that label is. She’s the happiest little girl you could ever meet – she’s constantly beaming. She loves her Labrador Rufus, having fun, and rough and tumble play. And she loves anything silly – basically the more silly you are, the more she’ll laugh!
Every moment matters
Ella was 3lb 4oz when she was born, and at her lowest weight in those first days in NICU she was just 2lb 9oz. She was so teeny-tiny.
When Ella was six weeks old, they let us bring her home. It was an unbelievable feeling. We were living with Kyle’s parents at the time, and we decided to surprise them. It was so nice and surreal really.
But then two days later, she became violently sick. She’d been given a rich feed for weight gain and her little body couldn’t handle it. She died in my arms, and I had to give her CPR to bring her back to life. It was terrifying. I laid her on the floor, and she was so tiny that I had to use just one finger on her chest, and I breathed over her whole face.
Thankfully, she came around almost straight away. And within minutes the paramedics had arrived to help us.
They sent Ella home from hospital that evening but the next day it happened again. This time, it felt like we knew what to do and it was awful but not as dramatic. The doctors changed Ella’s milk after that and fortunately it never happened again!
Up until she was around four years old, any little bug would make her really poorly and we’d end up in hospital. She is still susceptible, and we had a really scary stretch in hospital earlier this year, but things feel like they’ve calmed down a lot now.
Ella might be diddy but she is tough, and we have learned to treasure every single moment together
A safe space
Ella has been supported by Julia’s House for two years. She adores her nurses and carers, especially her named nurse, Molly, who always brings out the biggest smiles and giggles.
Ella loves anything sensory. At the hospice she’s a big fan of playing in the sensory room, or getting messy with sand, shaving foam, paints, all that sort of stuff. She loves music and reading and she loves when they do the baking at Julia’s House. She just loves it all really!
Most importantly, we know she is safe. We can relax, knowing the team understands Ella completely and knows exactly what to do if anything happens.
Fun and friendship
We do have to be cautious about where we go with Ella because she is extremely vulnerable, so she tends to miss out on socialising with other children. That’s why Julia’s House is so special. It’s a place where Ella can be herself, safely surrounded by other children who understand life with complex medical needs.
The moment we arrive, Ella gets excited. She loves the children, the noise, the music and the fun. She thinks kids are the funniest people in the world.
Julia’s House is your local children’s hospice, providing specialist care for children with life-limiting conditions and support for their exhausted families, giving them all a chance to have the magical moments and memories every child and family deserves.
Our amazing nurses and carers bring clinical care, fun, laughter and compassion to the children they support. And we give exhausted parents a much-needed respite break from around the clock care, with the peace of mind their child is in safe hands.

Responsible antibiotic use on farms
Part II
Reducing antibiotic use on farms
Good herd management is the cornerstone of reducing antibiotic reliance. Key areas include:
• Mastitis control: Focus on hygiene, milking routine, and dry cow management. Selective dry cow therapy should now be used on all farms.
• Calf health: Ensure adequate
pneumonia and scour.
• Nutrition and housing: Balanced diets and comfortable, clean housing reduce disease risk across all age groups.
• Prompt and accurate diagnosis: Treat the right animal, with the right drug, at the right time.
Working with your vet to review herd health plans and medicine use annually is an important step in identifying opportunities for improvement.
Change to Gamaret availability
You may be aware that Gamaret (intramammary antibiotic) has been used on some farms as part of mastitis treatment protocols. As a practice, from June 1 we will no longer be routinely stocking Gamaret on our shelves. This is because it is an imported product and does not hold a UK marketing authorisation. Gamaret also contains three components that fall into the Category C (Caution) classification. While it may still be prescribed in certain circumstances under veterinary direction, its use falls under stricter regulatory frameworks (see below). Our focus remains on using licensed products wherever possible, ensuring compliance and maintaining high standards of responsible prescribing. There are plenty of other options available!
A note on prescribing cascade The prescribing cascade is a legal framework that allows vets to prescribe off-label medicines,
when no suitable authorised product exists.
1 Use a product licensed for that species and condition.
2 If unavailable, use a product licensed for another species or condition.
3 If still not suitable, use an imported or speciallymanufactured product. While the cascade is an essential tool, it must be used responsibly and only when justified. Increased scrutiny means we must be able to demonstrate clear clinical reasoning when prescribing outside licensed options.
Looking ahead
Responsible antibiotic use is not about denying treatment - it is about using these valuable medicines wisely to ensure they remain effective for years to come. By focusing on prevention, careful drug selection, and close collaboration between farmers and vets, we can protect both animal health and the future of our industry.

Why Stress Often Shows Up in the Body First
Many people accept headaches,
tight shoulders, poor sleep, fatigue, and constant tension as simply part of modern life. But often, these can be signs that the body and nervous system are struggling to keep up with the demands of everyday stress.
At Karmalife Chiropractic in Wimborne, the focus is on helping people move better, feel better, and function at their best by improving how the body adapts and recovers. Physical stress, emotional pressure, poor posture, repetitive strain, and even old injuries can all affect how the body performs and how we feel day to day.
Using a combination of chiropractic care, posture and nervous system assessments, muscle testing, gentle cranial work, and movement-based techniques, the team aims to help restore balance and improve overall wellbeing. Assessments may also include HRV (heart rate variability) testing and Bio-Well scans to provide further insight into stress and energy levels.
Patients commonly report improvements in movement, posture, sleep, energy, stress resilience, headaches, and general wellbeing.
K armalife Chiropractic offers family-friendly care for adults, children, and teens from its clinic on Leigh Road in Wimborne.
Special Festival Offer: Consultation, examination, nervous system assessment, and chiropractic adjustment for £45.

Maisie maxes out at South West League
Committed to two matches on the same day was always going to affect team strength but both the athletes who went to Exeter for the South West League and those who joined the Team Dorset composite team in Portsmouth were anxious to show early season form. In Exeter, Maisie Robbins, pictured, hit top form to get maximum points from her three events winning the Under-14 high jump in a new personal best 1m43, the javelin with 27m14 and the shot with 8m32. The Under-14 girls were the strongest age group in the competition with Lila Richards winning the long jump 4m60 and the 75m hurdles in 13.34.
Lila had good support from Fiona Wesley, second with 4m36 and Eva Rourge third in the hurdles in 13.43.
Kayla Robbins has been struggling with injury but managed a winning 1m45 in the Under-16 high jump and a better 4m76
for third place in the long jump. Savannah Hastings enjoyed her first South West League appearance with a second-
placed 3m45 in the long jump and 2.55.45 in the 800 metres.
The Under-16s were the high scorers on the male side and top the table for the age group, Henry Read winning the pole vault with 2m45 and taking third in the discus 23.43. Elliott Trickey hit 5m84 to win the long jump and Will Hartley was second in the 100m hurdles 16.02.
Zac Johnson scored good points with his third-placed Under-14 shot put on 9m21. Dave Pearson won the seniors pole vault with a pleasing seasons opener of 3.40m and Jack Williams won the high jump with 1m90.
For the Under-12s Ezra Haydon was second in the long jump with 3m60 and the 100 in 14.86.
The team finished seventh out of thirteen clubs, effectively with only half a team.
