The community magazine for Chickerell and Fleet NOVEMBER 2014 Issue No 456
FROM THE EDITOR: Last month I attended the funeral of Capt Ken Mills. After
a distinguished naval career Ken had settled with his wife and family at The Elms in
East Street. He opened his home up to raise funds each year for the church and other
charities; his gardens were always a pleasure to walk around and he was more than
willing to help out with the fete. Contact sends our condolences to his family.
This month we are pleased to welcome Mrs Christine Bird as another new agent.
However, we are still asking for a volunteer for the Cobham Drive area; otherwise
door to door delivery could possibly come to an end for this district. Please contact
Peter Critchell on Weymouth 770124 if you can help. If people in Cobham Drive do
not get a Contact next month they will be available from Charlestown Post Office and
the community fire station in Radipole Lane.
As we go to press the road works in Putton Lane are finishing so we all should be back
to normal there. Work will be starting soon on a footpath up Garston Hill.
Once again we have to thank Stan Groves for this contribution of a ballad by Stan’s
favourite poet, John Clare.
With November 5th approaching, please be careful with your fireworks and please be
aware of animals when celebrating.
Next month is our double issue for December and January 2015; please remember to
have all your articles for the two months ready for us by November 19th. Thank you!
John Dean

NEWS FROM DORSET TRADING STANDARDS: �Good neighbours stop rogue traders’ is the message from Dorset
County Council Trading Standards this November during National Consumer Week.
Latest research shows that nationally there could be as many as 170,000 incidents of doorstep crime each year. Doorstep
criminals exploit vulnerable residents by convincing people to pay for shoddy or incomplete repair work, charging
extortionate fees for their services, or threatening residents who do not pay.В Thankfully doorstep crime is low in Dorset and
with help Dorset Trading Standards would like to keep it that way.
The �Good neighbours stop rogue traders’ campaign focuses on preventing doorstep crime by encouraging neighbours,
family, friends and carers to look out for those most at risk in their communities.
Risk factors include cold callers and vans appearing; unexpected work starting on your neighbour’s garden or house; and
if poor quality work is visible on the roof, driveway, or property. Your neighbour may also appear anxious or distressed or
visit their bank, building society, or post office more frequently. They may even be accompanied by a trader. If any of these
signs are familiar then trading standards says you could ask you neighbour in private if things are ok and offer to help or
to contact family, other friends or carers. Report non emergency information to the Citizens Advice consumer helpline on
03454 04 05 06, or Dorset Police on 101. In an emergency call 999.
Trading Standards do have �We do not deal with uninvited traders’ door stickers available from district or borough council
office reception, from most libraries, through the Neighbourhood and Home Watch network, by phoning the Citizens
Advice consumer helpline on 03454 04 05 06 or by completing an online form at dorsetforyou.com/uninvited-traders.

HELP WITH FUNDING FOR LOCAL GROUPS: Dorset Community Action is holding it 3rd funding fair on

District Council.В The event will be held at the Community Learning and Resource Centre, Wimborne. Groups will be
able to talk face to face representatives from The Big Lottery, Lloyds Bank Foundation, The Charity Bank, Virgin Money
Giving, Viridor and others. Places are limited. Details: www.dorsetcommunityaction.org.uk/training-events

CLARE ASH GOES TO ICELAND 2014: I am immensely proud to announce that after several months of fundraising,
I DID IT! Those early morning starts, several trial walks and Khaki Bo classes helped me develop some level of fitness. I
have completed my five day Icelandic trek across the breathtaking, stunning and somewhat challenging terrain in varying
weather. With several blisters and a few aches and pains, I have been able to reflect on what has been an absolute privilege
and memorable experience sharing it with such incredible people, all of us wishing to raise invaluable funds for Weldmar
Hospice Care Trust.В I myself at the time of writing this have raised ВЈ3235.00 and still rising, with the amazing support
of friends and family. My sincere thanks to you all. Wendy Blackman, My dearest �big cus’ you will always be my true
inspiration – Clare.
*************************************************************************************************
MESS CONCERN: Can I please ask you to put in next issue the dreadful state of the track down to Tidmoor Cove (side
of farmhouse cottages) Charlestown, which many dog walkersВ use. TheВ dog mess left there is appalling!В People let their
dogs off the lead and obviously cannot see that far ahead or behind when their dog/dogs deposits, therefore not picking
up! Many also bag it then decide they won’t carry it on their walk and throw in the hedges or just leave on the ground!
This antisocial behaviour is affecting everyone and is making it difficult for the ones who DO CONSIDER others. As a
regular walker with my dog, I see many walkers just let their pet off the lead andВ let it run way off, even seen them not
pick up. When challenged they do not like it. As a user of this area can I and many others ask those responsible to BAG
IT AND BIN IT! – Name and address supplied.

NATIVITY TABLEAU AND CAROL SERVICE AT HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, FLEET on Sunday 21st

be shepherds or angels or even a king (small speaking/singing role involved) please contact John and Hilary on 772817.
Rehearsals will be held at Fleet at 10am on the 14th and 21st and costumes will be available on both these dates.
Finally, would you like to help keep our beautiful old church clean? As one of our teams of voluntary cleaners has
retired recently, we would like to recruit one more team (usually two people) which would mean that each team’s duty
only came round every two months. It usually takes an hour or an hour and a half to clean; no brass cleaning is involved!
Ring Hilary on 772817 for more details. Thank you.

CHICKERELL COMMUNITY LUNCH, Willowbed Hall: On Thursday 16th October we met in the Willowbed for
our first lunch. Thank you for all who supported me in this new venture. It was lovely to see you all. I want to thank the
three ladies who volunteered to help. We had not met until 11am that morning but they quickly set the tables and coped
well with waiting on the tables so thank you and I look forward to seeing you all again. Thank you also to Brian who has
said he will look after the monies; and to everyone who brought raffle prizes and bought tickets. The income from the
raffle pays the rent for the hall.
We served 42 lunches. We wanted to start off with about 50, to let Ron Beattie, our chef, get used to the kitchen. We
can now take more people, so if you want to come, you will be very welcome; give me a ring to book a place on 01305
780243. Those who came to the first lunch will be automatically included for the next lunch, but please ring as soon as
possible if you are not coming.
The next lunch is on November 20th and the menu is Roast Pork, followed by rice pudding. We cannot offer an
alternative. The December lunch is on the 18th at 12 mid-day for 12.30pm and will be a Christmas lunch. I am, as I write,
negotiating with Chickerell School to see if we can have their choir to sing carols.
Thank you all again and I look forward to seeing you in November and the coming months. Mary Barber - 780243.

WEST DORSET, WEYMOUTH AND PORTLAND LOCAL PLAN EXAMINATION: The hearings relating to the
West Dorset, Weymouth and Portland Local Plan Examination are due to commence on Tuesday 24th November at the
West Dorset District Council offices in Dorchester and will last for three weeks. Details of the draft programme can be
downloaded online at https://www.dorsetforyou.com/localplanexamination/west/weymouth.
*************************************************************************************************
WEST DORSET DISTRICT planners have agreed that up to 170 homes can be built on the site of Weymouth
Football Club - as long as a new ground for the stadium is secured first.
Planners agreed after hearing that the applicant will fulfil a requirement for affordable housing as well as not develop the
current stadium until an alternative is found.
It means the public inquiry for the original plan due to begin this month (November) has now been called off - as long as
planning agreements between the applicant and the council are signed by the end of October.
FROM STAN GROVES: Since my October article re: the John Clare Festival, several people have asked to know more
of �Swordy Well’. The following lines from John Clare’s ballad �Swordy Well’ I hope will suffice…
For passers bye I never pin
No troubles to my breast
Nor carry round some names to win
More money from the rest
I’m Swordy well a piece of land
That’s fell upon the town
Who worked me till I couldn’t stand
And crush me now I’m down.
Though I’m no man yet any wrong
Some sort of right may seek
And I am glad that even a song
Gives me the room to speak.
I’ve got among such grubbling gear
And such a hungry pack
And if I brought harvests twice a year
They’d bring me nothing back.
The silver springs grown naked dykes
Scarce own a bunch of rushes
When grain got high the tasteless tykes
Grubbed up trees, banks and bushes
And me! They turned me inside out
For sand and grit and stones
And turned my old green hills about
And picked my very bones.
I couldn’t keep a dust of grit
Nor scarce a grain of sand
But bags and carts claimed every bit
And now they’ve got the land.
I used to bring the summers life
To many a Butterfly
But in oppressions iron strife
Dead Tussocks bow and sigh.
I’ve scarce a nook to call my own
For things that creep or fly
The beetle hiding neath a stone
Does well to hurry bye.
Stock eats my struggles every day
As bare as any road
He’s sure to be in some things way
If �ere he stirs abroad.
My mossy hills gains greedy hands
And more than greedy minds
Levels into a russet land
Nor leaves a bent behind.
In summers gone I bloomed in pride
Folks came for miles to prize
My flowers that bloomed nowhere beside
And scarce believed their eyes.
Yet worried with a greedy pack
They rend and delve and tear
The very grass from off my back
I’ve scarce a rag too wear
Gain takes my freedom all away
Since its dull suite I wore
And yet scorn vows I never pay
And hurts me more and more
And should the price of grain get high
Lord help and keep it low
I shan’t possess a single fly
Or get a weed to grow
I shan’t possess a yard of ground
To bid a mouse to thrive
For gain has put me in a pound
I scarce can keep alive
I own I’m poor like many more
But then the poor mun life
And many came for miles before
For what I had to give
But since I fell upon the town
They pass me with a sigh
I’ve scarce the room to say sit down
And so they wander bye.
Though now I seem so full of clack
Yet when you’re riding bye
The very birds upon my back
Are not more fain to fly
I feel so lorn in this disgrace
God send the grain to fall
I am the oldest in the place
And the worst served of all
There was a time my bit of ground
Made freedom of the slave
The Ass no pindard dared to pound
When I his supper gave
The Gypsy’s camp was not afraid
I made his dwelling free
Till vile Enclosure came and made
A Parrish slave of me
And save his Lordships woods that past
The day of danger dwell

DID YOU KNOW THAT: In July 1923 the then Prince of Wales, (who was to become King Edward VIII and the Duke
of Windsor after he famously abdicated in the 1930s), visited Weymouth. It was part of a west country tour. Prior to
arriving in Weymouth he had opened the new Territorial Army HQ in the county town, met author Thomas Hardy at his
home, Max Gate; taken a look at Maiden Castle and dropped in on the Upwey Wishing Well, sampling the waters.

LOOK BACK TO NOVEMBER 1982:
• There were three winners to the guess the weight of the marrow competition at the Fairfield harvest lunch.
The weight was 32 pounds and it was donated to the residents at Westhaven.
• Chickerell School PTA was seeking wool and material oddments to make items for the school’s craft stall at
the Christmas bazaar. The bazaar included a prize draw with the winning ticket receiving a meal for two, the
value of ВЈ25.00, donated by the Porthole Restaurant.
• A Pyrex teapot was the third prize in the raffle in aid of Cancer Relief. The raffle was part of the auction
held for the charity at the church hall in October.
• Chickerell Carnival Treasure Hunt attracted 19 cars and a motor-bike. The motor-bike riders received a
consolation prize.
• Chickerell Post Office advertised as part of its prices worth noting section Burton’s Hippodrome biscuits all types - 15p a packet.
• The star attraction at the Concorde Inn’s Guy Fawkes Night party - The Woodland Brothers live.

NATURE NOTES: What has been seen in Chickerell:
As I write, the first Redwings have been heard overhead; their thin, squeaky calls in the night sky are one of the signs that
winter is on its way. One or two pairs breed in the UK but the majority of the birds you will hear are from the continent.
Around the size of our Song Thrush, to which they are related, Redwings are remarkably good looking birds, with a bright
pale stripe above their eye and a slightly paler stripe below it, making them look a little like they are wearing glasses!
There is usually a rusty red �blotch’ on their flanks, just below the wing, but, if you get close enough, or watch them
through binoculars, when they fly, you can see where they get their name from; the whole of their �armpit’ is a lovely
rusty red.. fantastic!
FIELDFARE
Their European cousin, the Fieldfare, is much bigger, around the size of a Mistle Thrush. It has a orangey chest and a
grey head and rump and tends to favour open fields, where it can often be seen standing tall and straight, as if a guard on
sentry duty. Both birds will eat berries and can sometimes be seen in large mixed flocks, a little later in the year.
BUSH CRICKETS and BUTTERFLIES
Even though winter visitors are arriving, there are still plenty of signs of summer still to be found. If the temperature is
approaching double figures you can still hear the occasional chirp of dark bush-crickets in the hedgerow.
Find an ivy bush that is in flower and you will be amazed at the number of bees and butterflies (often, but not always, Red
Admirals) that are busy topping up on the nectar and pollen from the flowers. For many of the bees it will be some of
the last food they eat, as many die as the colder weather bites, but for butterflies like the Red Admiral, they build energy
reserves that will see them through the winter.
Look in your garden shed (in those remote bits you don’t clean) or in your loft and you might see one hanging there
motionless; they are in hibernation and probably won’t wake up until some time in the spring. They can sometimes
be found like this in the summer, and usually in response to a hot, dry period, when they are trying to save energy and
waiting for the cooler periods. When they do this they are, technically, �aestivating’, not hibernating, as they can wake up
much quicker.
*****************************************************************************************
THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH: Sometimes the world can seem an unhappy place, with wars, famine and
pestilence almost always in the news, and little news that focuses on the good! So how are we to cope with all of this?
There are many therapies, exercises and programmes that might help, but I think we need to cultivate the habit of doing
nothing, of staring, of simply not doing anything!
I don’t mean, by this, that we should simply be bystanders to the world’s events; far from it - but, if we are to play our
full role in a caring and sharing society, however wide that society might stretch, then we need to find time to re-charge
ourselves. To rid ourselves of the day to day stress that fills out modern day lives, fills them so much that we can’t take in
the problems of others, we are so full we can’t care!
In recent years there is a growing body of evidence that access to green, open spaces helps us do just that. Fifteen
minutes �outside’ and our heart rate goes down, our muscles relax and those hormones and pheromones that drive the
modern stress filled world, start to fade. We are lucky in Chickerell that we are surrounded by countryside, and even in
the �depths’ of our village, green, open space is only a few minutes walk away. But even if you are unable to walk that
short distance, green, in your garden, in your kitchen or on your window sill can help. Even if you can’t be amongst it,
looking at it (and not the telly!) will help your mind, soul and body cope better and, by feeling better inside, we are able to
better help others.
As a famous poet (W H Davies) once said – �A poor life this is if full or care, we have no time to stand and stare’. A poor
life indeed!

NICK’S NOTES ON THE NIGHT SKY
Although the other planets of the solar system can be easy to see, Mercury is not. Part of this is its small
size (it is only around one third as wide as the Earth and nearly 20 times smaller in volume) but also
because it orbits the Sun very much closer than the Earth does (less than half as far away). The result of
these two things is that it is often lost in the glare of the sun, so close to it that, by the time the sun has properly set, and
the sky is dark, Mercury has also set. Every so often, however, with the �celestial dance’ of the planets, the Earth and
Mercury are positioned in such a way as to make it easier for us to see the inner most planet, and in early November this
is exactly what happens, with Mercury being in its most favourable position, for observers in the UK, this year. Get up a
little before sunrise during the first week of the month and, provided you have a reasonable low horizon in the east, you
will see Mercury low in the dawn sky, with the star Spica just below and to the right of it (Mercury will be the brighter of
the two).
SPICA
To be sure you are looking at Spica, follow this simple guide. First find the Big Dipper, then, as we discussed last month,
follow the arc of the handle of the Big Dipper away from the bowl of the dipper, and continue that curve for a little over
the same distance as the handle covers. That �arc to Arcturus’ will land you on the orangey red, second brightest, star in
the northern sky. Now continue that curve for around the same distance again and you will find Spica, the brightest star in
the constellation of Virgo, although it is considerably dimmer than Arcturus (it is actually very much brighter, but is very
much further away!)
METEOR SHOWER
Another thing to look out for this month is the Leonid meteor shower, which reaches its peak on the 18th November,
around 1am. You can easily find Leo, as it is a large constellation below the bowl of the Big Dipper. The meteors
associated with this shower are the remains of comet Temple-Tuttle and there can be as many as 20 an hour (although
typical showers will be around half this) and sometimes they leave brilliant trails across the sky. Simply find yourself a
dark site after midnight, face east and wait for the sky to light up!
COMET
Finally, an amazing first will happen on the 11th of the month; we will realise a long held ambition and land a space
probe on a comet (not a bad feat as they will each be travelling at around 135,000 kilometres an hour!). Launched by the
European Space Agency 10 years ago, Rosetta has looped around the Earth several times over that decade, the gravity of
the Earth acting on it like a sling shot, moving it further out each time until, earlier this year, it met up with its target, the
snappily named comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The probe that lands, and its parent probe which will remain in
order around the comet, will then travel with the comet as it begins it close approach to the Sun, and will monitor changes
to the comet. As comets are believed to be �left overs’ from the formation of the solar system, this close encounter will
tell us much about how the Earth formed which, in turn, may help us understand how planets, and therefore perhaps life,
might evolve around other stars; cosmic stuff indeed!

NEWS FROM CHICKERELL UTD FC - The Stalls, East Street, Chickerell
Chickerell lost their last game 4-3 away to the Balti House who are now unbeaten as league
leaders. Chickerell had the chance to take a 2-0 lead but missed a penalty that allowed Balti House
back into the game for a best of seven goals victory. Chickerell’s new found linesman, Steve
�Ginger’ Hoare, may have flagged himself out of an award after giving a goal that was plainly 2ft
over the line to the Balti House. However Chickerell have chance of a revenge win, after beating
Ferndown 8-0 in the Dorset Senior Trophy. The Chickens have been drawn away to the Balti House
on 8th November. Meanwhile the Reserves enjoyed a fine 4-1 victory away to local rivals
Portesham and also find themselves in a re-match on the 8th November in the Dorset Intermediate
cup. Note both of these games will be 13.30 KO, so book your travel early to avoid disappointment
