As the price of sugar and other commodities drop further, Guyana’s and other Caribbean territories’ export recovery is starting to lose momentum and show signs of a slowdown, says a report from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
According to the first quarter updated edition of the 2018 Trade Trends in Latin America and the Caribbean, released by the IDB last week, the value of Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) exports rose 10.6 percent in the first quarter of 2018 against the same period last year, bolstered by higher demand from its main trading partners, particularly from other countries within the region and the European sUnion.
However, this growth was slower than the 11.9 percent registered at the end of 2017, due mainly to lower or flattening commodities prices for such products as sugar, coffee, iron ore and soybeans. The data, which is included in the six-month update of the IDB publication, shows sugar experiencing a severe 31 percent decline in price so far in 2018. It is followed by coffee – 17 percent, iron ore – 14 percent, and soybean – one percent. This downward trend in export prices was exacerbated by negative shocks that affected specific commodity markets and by the uncertainty following the announcement of potential tariff increases on major global export flows.
The price of sugar has affected regional export performance negatively since the end of 2016, the IDB report stated. Although it had stabilized by mid-2017, the downward trend reappeared at the beginning of 2018. Higher supply by Brazil, India and Thailand, coupled with lower global demand, led to fall in price. In 2017 the decline amounted to 12.7%, followed by a further 30.7% decrease in the first four months of 2018. The price of sugar in April of the current year was 33% below the previous peak of 2014, and at about one-third of the historical record of 2011.
LAC export volumes continued to grow at annual rates of approximately 4 percent, bolstered by shipments from Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and Argentina, the IDB release said. The rest of South America – and, to a lesser degree, Central America – contributed to the decline in growth in export values in the first quarter.
“After a long period of declining trade, the rise in export volumes is good news,” said Paolo Giordano, the Principal Economist for the Integration and Trade Sector of the IDB and the report’s coordinator. “However, the region must integrate and diversify more to be better prepared against volatility in commodity prices.”
In 2017, the recovery in the total value of Latin American and Caribbean exports was bolstered by greater demand from the region’s main trading partners, the IDB report said. The first quarter of 2018 was marked by a sharp slowdown in shipments to China, as sales to the European Union and countries within the region accelerated. South America, which had registered a 14.9 percent average rise in 2017, increased its sales by 10.4 percent on an annual basis in the first quarter of 2018. The lower growth rate comes when export volumes stand a full 25 percent below their 2011 peak.
In Mesoamerica, exports grew 10.8 percent on a year-on-year basis in the first quarter of 2018, due to the 11.5 percent increase in shipments from Mexico and 4.8 percent from Central American countries. This reflects an improvement in external sales by Mexico in comparison to 2017 (9.5 percent) and a deceleration in Central America (5.8 percent).
The Caribbean saw a 5.3 percent rise in its exports in 2017. This group, according to the IDB report, exhibited the most volatile performance of all LAC sub-regions, with above average year-on-year rates in the first half of 2017, and contractions during the second semester. The growth was observed by all the countries in the sub-region, except in Trinidad and Tobago where foreign sales contracted 7%, and in Barbados and Haiti, where they remained constant. Suriname, The Bahamas and Guyana registered notable expansions of 45.4%, 39.2% and 25.6% respectively, while Belize and Jamaica had moderate rates of 10.9% and 9.0%, respectively.
The IDB report noted that for the Caribbean, which includes The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Guyana Haiti, Jamaica, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, no aggregate data was available for 2018. Belize and Jamaica were the only countries whose data was utilized for the current year.
The value of imports to LAC jumped 14.3 percent on a year-on-year basis in the first quarter of 2018, after rising 9.6 percent on average in 2017. This growth has picked up throughout 2017 and early 2018, outstripping the rise in exports.

The many Virginia and national voices who have opposed over the last two years Fairfax County leasing its land to the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia for the operation of the Islamic Saudi Academy (ISA) will have an opportunity on October 19 once more to tell local politicians that they don't want the ISA operating on public land in Fairfax County.
Genuine and continuing transparency of both the curriculum and the practices of the ISA to ensure the school is not an academy for Shariah should be a condition precedent, in our view, to any such rental of Commonwealth land.
Here (p. 85) is pertinent text from the Fairfax County Supervisors September 14 "board package" on the October 19 hearing.
"TIMING: Board action is requested on September 14, 2010, to provide sufficient time to advertise the proposed public hearing to be held on October 19, 2010, at 5:00 p.m. BACKGROUND The Board of Supervisors is the owner of a facility located at 8333 Richmond Highway and identified as Tax Map Numbers 101-4 ((1)) 005A, 101-4 ((1)) 057, 101-4 ((8)) (E) 001, and 101-4 ((7)) 001. The Islamic Saudi Academy has leased the school since 1989 for the operation of a private school. The current lease expires on June 30, 2011, and the Islamic Saudi Academy has requested an extension. Therefore, it is proposed that the County enter into a lease addendum that will permit the Islamic Saudi Academy to continue leasing this site for the period of July 1, 2011, through June 30, 2012.Included in the lease addendum is an option, subject to approval by the County, to extend the lease for two additional one-year periods."
In June of 2008, ABC 7 News reported in its "Head of Virginia Islamic School Arrested; Protesters Demand Shutdown" that –
"The [Fairfax County] board [of Supervisors]'s chairman - Gerry Connolly, the Democratic nominee for Congress in Virginia's 11th District - offered a strong defense of the school and accused critics of slander during the meeting in which the lease was approved.
Connolly did not return calls seeking comment Tuesday. But Keith Fimian, his Republican opponent for the congressional seat, said that because the school is on public land, taxpapers have the right to ensure that the curriculum meets certain criteria.
'From what I know, the board was wrong to renew the lease,' Fimian said."
For background on the whole ISA issue, readers are encouraged to revisit two of our pertinent posts
'Yet the State Department and Fairfax County supervisors duck, hide, and punt the issue back and forth, failing to act in the best interests of county citizens and the U.S. This is my seventh post on this issue since May , and I am no more optimistic that they will act than I was in May.'"
The October 19 Fairfax County Board of Supervisors hearing on extending the lease is a sovereign opportunity to insist that the curriculum and teaching practices of the Islamic Saudi Academy be wholly and continually transparent if that school is to be allowed to conduct further operations on land belonging to the Commonwealth.
Their appearance in person at the hearing would concentrate the supervisors' minds wonderfully, and would get across the point that facilitating with public resources any propagating of Shariah is a national concern. For the Shariah costs to the fabric of our society would clearly outweigh whatever rental revenue Fairfax County might receive from the Royal Saudi Embassy.

Peasedown St John introduces 20mph limit
Speed restrictions of 20mph are to be introduced throughout an entire village in Somerset.
The scheme starts in Peasedown St John near Bath on 17 June after 62% of residents said they were in favour.
Liberal Democrat councillor Sarah Bevan said it was about encouraging a "cultural change" in drivers.
Bath and North East Somerset council is introducing 20mph limits to other roads across the authority and is currently consulting local people in those areas.
Ms Bevan said: "It [the village] is very densely residential. My view on it is that wherever people live or circulate, there should be a complete culture change in driver behaviour."
Local Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg said: "I'm not convinced.
"I think blanket bans tend not to be taken seriously by motorists because they're seen to be too low a limit when there isn't a particular reason for it at the particular time of day."
The council said it was working with the police to encourage drivers to adhere to the limit.
Consultation leaflets were delivered to 2,800 households in Peasedown St John.
Of the 640 returned, 397 people said they wanted the lower speed limit introduced.

Latest from Wollongong Library; my choices are often quite random but prove rather inspired. Such is the case this time.
With her husband perpetually away at work, a mother raises her children virtually alone. Her teenage son is testing the waters of the adult world, and early one morning she wakes to find the dead body of his gay lover on the beach of their rural lakeside home. What would you do? What is rational and what do you do to protect your child? How far do you go and when do you stop?
Jonathon Tucker as Beau in The Deep End
The gay sex scene is as explicit as anything I have seen in a mainstream movie: hence the MA 15+ rating. It’s a very good movie, though I found myself not quite believing that main plot twist.
Not yet seen – tonight probably – is a 2012 Australian movie that passed me by: Bathing Franky.
When Steve is released from prison, he is unable to connect with his girlfriend, as he is still haunted by his relationship with a fellow inmate. Taking a ‘meals-on-wheels’ job, he meets Rod, a wildly irrepressible older man, who is the full time carer for his invalid mother who, when not confined to a wheelchair, gets about on her modified ride-on lawn mower. Steve is captivated by the older pair’s extravagant world of make-believe and a close friendship between the men develops. – IMDb
It is featured in the Australian Film Festival of India 2014 / 2015 – and no, I hadn’t heard about that either! A link there goes to some interesting reviews, but I will leave you with this one from a viewer on IMDb.
Purchase[d] a copy of the movie at the Dungog Film Festival today, without high expectations. Sort of reminded me of Eye of the Storm, only different. Shot in the Hunter Valley which makes it more interesting for me, everything about the finished product is excellent. All of the things that matter, storyline, cinematography, direction, editing and acting are first rate. All believable, and no plot holes to be seen. The story is basically about two men from different generations that connect, because of circumstances that they have to deal with, and have no control over. I am sorry that I missed a screening at my local cinema. Fingers crossed that it gets a theatre release in Australia.

Properly balanced wheels play a vital role in ensuring a smooth and safe driving experience. Over time, the distribution of weight around the wheels can become uneven due to various factors such as normal wear and tear, potholes, and even minor collisions.
Wheel balancing service is all about fine-tuning the weight distribution on a car’s wheels for a seamless driving experience.
Why Does Your Toyota Car Needs Wheel Balancing Service?
Regular wheel balancing service is essential to ensure a safe and comfortable driving experience.
Find below the top reasons why your Toyota car needs balanced wheels:
1. Prolong Tire Life
One of the main reasons to prioritize wheel balancing service is to extend the life of your car’s tires. Uneven weight distribution causes certain areas of the tire to wear down faster than others. As a result, you may find yourself replacing tires more frequently, leading to unnecessary expenses.
Wheel balancing helps distribute the weight evenly across all four tires, ensuring they wear out uniformly. It further helps in maximizing their lifespan and saving money in the long run.
2. Enhanced Fuel Efficiency
Driving with unbalanced wheels can badly impact your car’s fuel efficiency. When wheels are unbalanced, the engine needs to work harder to maintain stability, leading to increased fuel consumption.
Avail of wheel balancing Toyota car service near me to reduce unnecessary strain on your car engine.
3. Smoother Ride
Have you noticed sudden vibrations in the steering wheel or the car itself? If yes, then it’s a sign of poor wheel balancing. Because, when the wheels are unbalanced, they may not rotate smoothly, causing vibrations that can be felt throughout the vehicle.
These vibrations not only obstruct driving comfort but can also lead to driver fatigue on long journeys. Availing wheel balancing service ensures a smoother and more comfortable ride for both you and your passengers.
4. Improved Safety
Safety should always be a top priority when driving any vehicle, and wheel balancing is essential in ensuring your safety on the road. Unbalanced wheels can lead to unstable handling, especially at higher speeds or during sudden maneuvers. It can compromise your ability to control the car, increasing the risk of accidents. By getting your Toyota’s wheels balanced, you regain control and reduce the chances of encountering risky situations on the road.

A family that cooks together…
... is always happy, says home
Metallurgical engineerturned-home chef Anupriya Prasad Sinha’s work has taken her across the country, from Lucknow to Vadodara to Bengaluru and Chennai, before she made Pune her home four years ago. But home is also where her fondest food memories are and these will always take her back to Sindri in Dhanbad, Jharkhand, where she grew up. “We were always talking about food and home. Kayasthas love good food and there’s a saying in Hindi ‘Kayastha khaa khaake hi marenge’. Fish was a staple at home, but we also loved all kinds of meat dishes,” says Sinha, 50, who set up her home kitchen Ananda Mela, known for its traditional Bihari fare, a little over a year ago.
However, the one dish that everyone in the family got together to cook was a vegetarian delicacy named daal pitha, says Sinha. “It’s similar to the modaks made in Maharashtra except that the daal pitha had a savoury filling made of channa dal instead of a sweet filling of jaggery and grated coconut as in modaks,” she explains. As her mother prepared the rice dough for the casing of the daal pitha and the filling, Sinha and her two sisters would wait to stuff the filling. “My father would take his seat by the large pateela (dish), which had a cloth tied to it, to supervise the last part of the cooking. This would be the cloth on which the pitha would be steamed,” adds Sinha. The taste of garlic and chilli is palpable every time Sinha thinks about the dish. “This is the aroma I associate with daal pitha as well. The filling is quite spicy,” she adds.
The daal pitha was a special dish made during bhai dooj, an important festival for the Kayastha community and similar to raksha bandhan, which celebrates the bond that a sister shares with her brother. “We also made it over the weekends when we had time on our hands,” adds Sinha, who recalls that this is a recipe that was passed on by her paternal grandmother. “It’s a very simple dish but making it was a family tradition, and it’s the one dish that is not available anywhere outside of home.”
What you need
2 cups raw rice flour
2 cups water
1 cup chana daal (soaked in water for 2–3 hrs)
1 tsp cumin seeds
7–8 garlic cloves (peeled)
Chilli powder to taste
Salt to taste
2 tbsp oil
½ tsp mustard seeds
1 pinch asafoetida, for seasoning
1 or 2 red chillies
1 tbsp coriander leaves, coarsely chopped
1 or 2 green chillies, coarsely chopped
How to make it
► Coarse grind the soaked channa daal and add salt, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, garlic and chilli powder. If it has excess water, you can heat the channa daal mixture in the microwave for one minute. The resulting mixture should be such that you can fill it in the pithas easily, and should still be moist.
► To prepare the pitha dough, boil 2 cups of water in a kadai, add salt and 1 tbsp oil.
► Add rice flour to the boiling water slowly, stirring it continuously, so that there are no lumps. Cover and keep for five minutes.
► Switch off flame and stir thoroughly. Gather the dough thus formed and knead it with oiled hands for at least 5 minutes till it becomes soft. Let cool.
► Divide the dough into desired number of parts and make smooth balls.
► Flatten each ball with hands or by rolling, and fill the daal mixture.
► Fold it to make gujiya/karanji like shape. Work the seam with oiled hands so as to get smooth edges.
► Steam the pithas in a greased steamer till the daal filling gets cooked. When they are poked with a knife, it should come out clean.
► Take out the pithas from the steamer and serve hot.
► For eating the leftover pithas, cut them in transverse sections of ¾ to 1 cm thick slices.
► Before serving, you can either add a tadka of 1 tbsp oil and mustard seeds or cumin seeds, whatever you have on hand, asafoetida and red chilies, or simply stir fry the slices in 1 tbsp oil.
► Garnish with green chilies and coriander leaves. Serve this with green chutney.
► Leftover pithas are also eaten with mutton curry or any gravy sabji of your choice. Just remember to warm them up on a steamer or a microwave.
It’s a simple dish but making it was a family tradition. It’s the one dish that is not available anywhere outside of home

This article originally appeared in “From the Sea to the City – 5 Years Alarm Phone”
Welcome2Europe Info Guide: ‘Welcome-2Spain’ (2018). Photo: Alarm Phone Tangier
Every call to the Alarm Phone brings with it its own story that deserves to be heard. In the Western Mediterranean, we have spoken to hundreds of people during their sea passages. The situations in which contacts occurred were manifold, ranging from travellers rowing on tiny rubber dinghies during calamitous weather conditions to huge convoys of up to 80 people crossing the Alborán Sea on large boats with engines. While some people were panicking in life threatening situations, others were still making jokes to Alarm Phone members while being in distress at sea.
With more than 58,000 arrivals to Spain, the Western Mediterranean route was by far the most frequented throughout 2018, with the EU border agency Frontex warning that it would become the next ‘migration corridor’ to Europe. From June to the end of October, crossings peaked, and the Alarm Phone accompanied an unprecedented number of boats on their perilous journey, with 91 boats in the last week of July 2018 alone. The response was political repression. Crossings declined from November 2018 but still remained high until the end of the year.
Sea rescue: Our experiences in changing realities
Although the Moroccan Navy has long played the part as Europe’s external frontier guard, intercepting many of the boats that reached out to us, we tended to have a rather good cooperation with the Spanish rescue organization, Salvamento Marítimo (SM). At the same time and especially more recently, we have witnessed a total lack of engagement from both the Spanish and Moroccan authorities in numerous cases, even if an exact GPS location was provided. On some occasions, the travellers had to endure more than a day in severe conditions before managing to paddle back to the Moroccan shore themselves. The Alarm Phone continuously put pressure on the relevant authorities, but often without eliciting a response. Sometimes this politics of non-assistance ended deadly. On 23rd of December 2018, 11 people attempted the crossing. They contacted the Alarm Phone and we called the Coastguards. There was no response. Many hours later, we lost contact to the boat. The travellers are listed as missing at sea, but, undoubtedly, they drowned.
The socialist government in Spain is eager to reduce arrivals via the Western Mediterranean route. They drastically reformed SAR operations in summer 2018. The Guardia Civil became the commanding authority for Spanish SAR operations. This amounts to a militarisation of the formerly civil rescue agency. SM has since stopped actively patrolling the Spanish SAR zone and often refuses to enter the Moroccan SAR zone. SM’s staff, naval and aerial assets were significantly reduced and in multiple cases, boats in distress were blocked by SM until the Moroccan Navy arrived to intercept the travellers. Moreover, SM has stopped tweeting about ongoing rescues. The result is that supporting actors, such as the Alarm Phone, have no access to crucial information. These new policies have undoubtedly been a factor in the disappearance and death of migrant travellers.
Push-backs and land border fortification
Illegal push-back operations occur not merely along the enclaves but also from Spanish islets, as i.e. from Perejil on 17th of March 2019. However, they are mostly practiced at the land borders of the Spanish colonies Ceuta and Melilla, often referred to as ‘express deportations’, for example on the 22nd of August from Ceuta (116 people were illegally removed) and the 21st of October from Melilla on 21 October (55 people were illegaly removed). The fortifications at the land borders are continuously augmented. The latest move is the construction of a new fence on the Moroccan side of the Ceuta border and massive investments in security installations on the Spanish side. Due to a wave of repression in northern Morocco in 2015, which involved the dismantling of many forest encampments close to the enclaves, fewer people have entered Spain by land (from about 11,600 people in 2015 to an average of about 6,500 people in the years 2016–2018). It has not stopped crossings – people continue to exercise their right to move by organising the so-called “attacks” onto the fences, such as in Ceuta in July and August 2018 and Melilla in October 2018 and May 2019.
Repression and the politics of deterrence
One thing that remains unchanged over the years is the behaviour of the Moroccan state whenever increased numbers of sea crossings incite the wrath of its European ‘partners’.
As a response to the sharp rise in crossings via the Western Mediterranean in June and July 2018, the Moroccan kingdom once again intensified raids on and arrests of black people, with or without legal status in Morocco. The first ones targeted were those in the main transit migration hubs such as Tangier and Nador, but later the wave of repression moved to cities further inland. According to the anti-racist group GADEM, more than 6,500 people were arrested and pushed-back to the south of Morocco or towards Algeria between July and September 2018 alone.
These violent and arbitrary arrests continue on such huge scale and remain a daily reality until today. Many of our Alarm Phone members and friends in Morocco have been deported south towards cities such as Tiznit, Errachidia or Agadir several times. These are cities, where many deportees are stranded, living precariously in makeshift camps around the train and bus stations. The deportations to countries of origin also increased. The testimonies of the people detained reveal a total deprivation of the detainees’ rights that should be recognised by Moroccan law. People suffer from police violence and theft of personal belongings. The detainees are kept in courtyards and cells in inhumane conditions, waiting for deportation or to be handcuffed and illegally forced to unknown destinations. And yet, many have not given up, but have returned north, scaling the Spanish fences or taking to the sea.
EU – Morocco relations
In light of the peak of arrivals in Spain in the summer of 2018, the EU increased its cooperation with Morocco in matters of border control. This cooperation was established in 2007 during various EU-Africa summits. Especially the EU-Emergency Relief Trust Fund for African countries (EUTF for Africa) was used in 2018 to limit and prevent the movement of people in this area. The EU’s agenda in these agreements on strengthened border management has always been to shift European asylum responsibilities further south. Without doubt, the brutality of police raids and deportation practices are a direct consequence of the influence of the EU on Morocco and its demand to ‘tackle’ unwanted migration. But, at the same time, the relations between the EU and Morocco are contested and multi-layered. For instance, the idea of “regional disembarkation platforms in relevant third countries”, a clear instance of the EU seeking to conscript northern African countries into the mass detention of people on the move, has been rejected by the Moroccan government, as well as by Tunisia and Egypt. Also, Morocco’s new centre for observing international migration movements and policies – the African Observatory for Migration and Development (OAMD) – is an attempt by Morocco to position itself more autonomously within the African Union (AU) when it comes to migration control. This indicates how Morocco is using its position as Europe’s external frontier guard to leverage its political position. It would be too simplistic to understand the interests of the Kingdom of Morocco merely in terms of the financial gains from cooperating with the EU in the field of migration policy. There is much more at stake: the economic and political struggle concerning the Western Sahara, Morocco’s attempt to forge a powerful position for itself in the international political context, inside and outside of the AU. And finally, the relations between the EU and Morocco in border security are also always connected to the question of mobility of Morocco’s own population.
The Alarm Phone in the region
Whilst people are constantly resisting the violent effects of inhumane border regimes by crossing borders clandestinely, they also resist in more visible ways. In open defiance of border policies, acts of resistance take place throughout Morocco, not merely at its territorial edges. Here associations and individuals engage in different ways for the freedom of movement for all and the respect of their basic rights. Alarm Phone teams continue to grow throughout the country, deepening ties with local associations, activists and, first and foremost, with communities in transit. We have facilitated and participated in diverse migration-related conferences, political actions and commemorations in Morocco. Alarm Phone members continue to raise awareness among the communities of travellers concerning the risks and security aspects of the sea crossings. We remain in close contact with the community networks and do the crucial follow-ups of cases on the ground. We search for missing people, monitor arrests and violent attacks, collect testimonies, identify dead people in the morgue and pass information to friends and relatives. Through the Alarm Phone, activists from all the different regions, communities and local struggles in Morocco, have established a crucial network to discuss incidents and political developments and to support each other in solidarity.
We use our experience on the ground, to keep the European public up-to-date and to denounce the brutal realities for people who contest the border regime in the Western Mediterranean. Not much is published based on direct reports from the people concerned and media coverage of the situation in the Western Mediterranean is still astonishingly low. The Alarm Phone is a crucial platform and channel for the traveller’s voices, reports and demands. Since no SAR NGOs are engaged in the Western Mediterranean the Alarm Phone remains not only a critical witness, but a crucial actor. Without the courageous work of the members on the ground and the pressure of our shift teams, many rescue operations would not have been initiated or carried out.

From boats.... And the shore... About six thousand people cast a line in hopes of landing a trophy fish this weekend.
Sun and clear skies provided the perfect atmosphere for the 32nd year of the annual Lake Champlain International Fathers' Day Fishing Tournament.
LCI's Ross Saxton said Saturday, "People from dozens of states come enjoy our lake because it's known for its great fishing. It's not just about fishing, it's about being with the people who you love, spending time with, while out on the resource that you love."
It's hard to find a six-year-old who fishes more than six-year-old Ferrisburgh resident Chase Stokes.
"Like every day. Just in the summer I'm guessing with school and whatnot? Nope every day after school too." said Stokes.
And his experience shows. Chase says he began young, landing his first fish as a one-and-a-half-year-old. He reeled in more than a dozen on Saturday.
"Mostly just white perch, and one little yellow perch, and one strawberry bass, once rock bass." said Stokes.
Chase isn't competing against the full tournament field, just the kids. This year about 65 youngsters between the ages of 1 and 13 are registered.
"We host the little angler derby every year too as a free event to encourage the next generation of anglers." said Saxton.
Chase doesn't need any encouragement, but despite all his success, he's still upset by the one that got away.
"He hooked into those weeds and I had to snap my line and he felt very very big, I just don't know how big." said Stokes.

The government has been urged to hold talks between manufacturers, wholesalers and pharmacies to discuss potential reforms to medicines supply.
Dr Leyla Hannbeck, chief executive officer of the Association of Independent Multiple Pharmacies (AIMp) said yesterday that she had had a ‘very constructive discussion’ with Will Quince, minister of state for health and secondary care with responsibility for medicines supply.
In a post shared on LinkedIn, she said that they had discussed the causes of the ‘escalating problems around medicines supply and their cost’ and their impact on pharmacy and patients.
She called for roundtable discussions between manufacturers, wholesalers and pharmacies to discuss how the current supply system could be reformed.
Dr Hannbeck also said that she had raised the ‘bureaucratic burden around the SSP process which could be eliminated to make the process easier for pharmacists’.
She said that Mr Quince had pledged to take these suggestions forward and continue further discussions.
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) confirmed that Mr Quince met with Dr Hannbeck to discuss issues in community pharmacy, including concerns about supply of cold and flu medicines.
A DHSC spokesperson said that it was ‘aware of reports of issues with the availability of some branded cold and flu medicines’ but that these appeared to be ‘temporary’ and ‘localised’.
They added: ‘Supply of over-the-counter medicines is not controlled by central government but we are engaging with suppliers to investigate and help ensure that over-the-counter cold and flu medicines remain available.’
Yesterday, Michelle Riddalls, CEO of PAGB, which represents the interests of OTC manufacturers, told The Pharmacist that ‘while some cough or cold products may be less readily available at some stores this is likely to be local and very sporadic as there are no reports of widespread shortages’.
She shared figures from IRI that show that demand for over-the-counter (OTC) cough and cold medicines at Christmas was nearly 60% higher than in 2019, as well as data from IQVIA showing that incidences of coughs, colds and flu were 46% higher in December than the same point in 2021, surpassing pre-pandemic figures and well exceeding the five-year average.
In December, pharmacists struggled with antibiotics supply issues and a surge in wholesale prices due to increased demand amid Strep A concerns.
In December, the National Pharmacy Association (NPA) wrote to health and social care secretary Steve Barclay to ask him to bring together relevant stakeholders from throughout the supply chain to convene a ‘medicines supply taskforce’, similar to the one set up for HRT last summer.
NPA chief executive Mark Lyonette said that ‘HRT and antibiotics are the most visible examples of a wider problem with medicines supply which needs to be addressed’.
In December, the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) called for a change in the law to allow pharmacists to make minor amendments to prescriptions without the need for a serious shortage protocol (SSP).
RPS England chair Thorrun Govind said in a statement at the time that the current process of asking the prescriber to change the prescription ‘causes unnecessary workload for GPs and delays for patients’.

Writeup of Death Café at Café Rouge in Hampstead, London on 11 November 2013 with Josefine Speyer
Following a very positive article about the October Death Cafe at Cafe Rouge in London’s Time Out magazine, this November Death Cafe was soon fully booked. I even considered holding a second Death Café that month to accommodate everybody! Fortunately I didn’t, as instead of the 40 plus people expected, only 19 people attended. It was a bit disappointing as I had turned so many people away, thinking we were overbooked. Nevertheless, we had a very good and positive evening. It was moving, inspiring, heart warming. There was a wonderful open sharing from people, gathering around three tables. Thank you to Sharon Young and Philomena Corrigan who helped facilitating at tables.
For the first half of the evening we invited everyone to say something about themselves and why they had decided to come. Most came for the first time. People shared intimate stories of bereavement, of the satisfaction of caring for a dying husband at home and sharing his moment of death; their feelings about facing death, the difficulty of addressing the subject with family members, with adult children or with elderly parents. We also spoke of experiences of near death experiences, nearing death awareness and after death communications with a sense of wonder and astonishment. It was interesting to hear of differing views and learning from each other.
In the second half we asked people what their ideal death would be like and what they felt would need to achieve that.
At the end of the evening we formed a large circle. This provided the opportunity for some people to speak to the whole group, reflecting on their experience of the evening. Comments ranged form the personal and emotional, to the philosophical and more general. There was a sense of something profound being shared. A woman living with a life limiting illness who was quite ill but looked very well said, quite firmly and calmly, in response to one comment: ”I am not JUST going to die! I am going to DIE!” For her, dying was not a far off theory. It was much closer to home.
Many of us are too easily lulled into believing our own dying is a long, long way off, so far in fact that it is not quite a reality. Death Café creates a space for people to practice thinking and talking about dying and death, this helps to make it feel more real. It encourages us to feel more appreciative of being alive right now and to recognise there are opportunities for us worth taking now. It feels a good thing to do.
Josefine, 62, psychotherapist and host of this Death Café
I attended the November Death Cafe as a facilitator for the second time. Each event brings different people and their different experiences to the table and over the course of an evening discussing our deep seated worries and individual concerns an atmosphere of profound intimacy grows through open and honest communication with others.
This month, there were two people at my table with a life limiting illness. It seemed that they were both able to safely express their frustrations and experiences of their illness and this was received by the others in a respectful and constructive manner.
When some participants are actively struggling with issues, I was touched by the support given and depth of conversation achieved bringing the discussion of difficult topics out into the open. By responding to others concerns we sometimes manage to answer our own and it seemed that there was a "spirit of fellowship" and openness around our table.
The process of dying often involves an accumulation of losses, of function, dignity, friends and relationships and Death Cafe is one of the few places I have experienced where individuals can be truly honest about their concerns!
Sharon, 42, Academic
I found that part of the discussion at the table I facilitated was about spiritual matters as it always is. What better opportunity to think about the meaning of life and what might happen after death than at a Death Café? It is always interesting and thought provoking to hear other people’s opinions and feelings about these existential questions. People were listened to with respect. By that I don’t mean that we had to pretend to agree with what others thought, but actively listen to what they had to say.
The act of speaking aloud helps us clarify what we do actually think and feel.
One of the other members of the group was also an atheist and we got into an enthusiastic discussion about a book that helps to overcome the fear of death, both for believers and non-believers. It is Irving D Yalom’s “Staring at the sun: Overcoming the dread of death”. Yalom is an atheist psychotherapist who thinks that much of how we live our lives and what we strive for is due to the ‘mortal wound,’ knowledge of death. In the book Yalom explains how he has dealt with his own fear of death, as well as discussing how he has helped his patients.

• Opportunity to talk to more people in the other groups
• Slightly dislocated start, with interruptions for food ordering and paying. Perhaps best to arrive earlier and eat beforehand.
• I needed to move a bit more – my mistake!
• I felt very comfortable throughout – apart from something I said – but I learnt a lot from it!
• I thought sitting in a circle at the end changed the atmosphere to more formal and distant. Maybe there is a way to do it differently?

Posted by Death Cafe St. Joe/ Megan Mooney
it is worth doing these write-ups, but I always put off doing them. In the early days I left off a lot of the feedback, just because it was all so very positive and I thought it would bore people to read too much of that!
I now think write-ups are important, but they take a great deal of my time. Arrrgh!

Odisha’s first newspaper ‘Utkal Dipika’ re-launched from Bhubaneswar after 80 years of shut down.
The newly launched weekly newspaper has exactly the same mast head like that of the old Utkal Dipika. The first Odia Newspaper started its publication on August 4, 1866 and continued up to 1936.
The Odia daily celebrated its 150th anniversary at Press Club of Odisha on Wednesday. The newspaper is the oldest such publication in the state.
When it was established in 1866, Gourishankar Ray and Bichitrananda were its editors. The newspaper played an important role in uniting Oriya people under one administration. It also played a crucial role in developing Oriya language and literature.
Writer Bibhuti Patnaik, who was one of the dignitaries at the celebratory event, said: “Being the first newspaper published in before Independence, the paper played a vital role in uniting Oriyas. It helped establish the identity of Oriyas and the language.”
The event also featured screening of a 20-minute documentary on ‘Utkal Dipika’. It contained clips of Gourishankar discussing the motive behind starting the paper following the great famine of Orissa and what it took to run the paper.
Bhagyalipi Malla, the superintendent of State Archives said copies of the paper had been digitised and preserved. “It will help future generations learn about the history of journalism in Odisha.”


Earlier this afternoon, Sen. Tim Kaine spoke with Karen Tumulty of the Washington Post. Check out the video, below, and also here are some highlights, courtesy of the WaPo. Also, Sen. Kaine predicts that the impeachment trial – “uncharted waters,” as he calls it – is “likely to last into early next week,” with evidence largely being “video evidence” and “not yet completely clear” whether there will be live witnesses.
- On the impeachment trial: “I have been very, very worried that we’ll get to the end of this trial and Trump will be acquitted again… I hope there can be some light shed and some truth found, but ultimately I think there need to be consequences for these actions and I’m at little bit nervous about that going into this trial.”
- Is censure still on the table after this?: “[W]e could get into this trial — the evidence could be so graphic it might make some Republicans say we have to do something, and Democrats contemplating the prospect of an acquittal that would embolden Trump might decide it shouldn’t be impeachment or nothing, maybe there is an alternative we could consider. So I think it’s still very much a live option that people understand the question is will it get a new look and maybe some momentum as we get into the trial.”
- On the $1.9 trillion COVID rescue package and bipartisan support: “Once we Democrats have said to Republicans in the Senate we’re doing this by reconciliation… Republicans are very actively engaged with us about in talking about things they would like to see in the bill.”
- “I can guarantee the ultimate bill that’s voted on, in the reconciliation process, is going to have Democratic priorities but Republican priorities too. What I’m not sure about, at the end of the day, is will Republicans vote for it.”
- On Virginia’s increase in vaccine distribution: “What Governor Northam eventually decided, and I certainly was urging this and others were too– go ahead and deploy all of your vaccine giving dose ones to as many people as you can and let’s count on the muscle of the American manufacturing capacity to produce enough for dose two.”

Koalas suffer from a wide range of diseases and illness, some of which are well understood, and others that are observed but have unclear aetiologies. A largely undescribed and poorly defined area in koala health is diseases presumed to be associated with koala retrovirus (KoRV) infection. Disease conditions putatively linked to KoRV infection are defined here as “putative KoRV-associated diseases” (PKAD). These include neoplasia, severe dermatological and oral conditions, life-threatening fungal and opportunistic infections, haematological disorders, chronic ill-thrift or poor body condition of undefined cause and other conditions suggestive of immune dysfunction. Multiple conditions are usually present at once and koalas invariably die despite treatment. The multifactorial nature of PKAD and the lack of clarity around KoRV’s role in many conditions means that developing a standard case definition encompassing all presentations is difficult. As such, presenting conditions have been defined as dysplastic/neoplastic versus those associated with immune dysfunction (putative immune dysfunction disorders—PIDDS).

Ingredients : salt, onion ,celery seed and spices .
- Steak Rub Seasoning (szeged) 5oz (142g)
Not the same product that I have bought in stores.
The product that was delivered was a fine powdered spice. The product that I have bought in stores and love had lager chuncks of spices, this was not the same product that I have recomended and used over the past years. Also the top had come off during shipping and half of it had spilled out. VERY disapointed!!!!
LiaFort Lupton, CO
i really don’t want to rave but…
this product is pretty phenomenal. i really don’t want other people to buy it since i honestly don’t want to share, but the truth is that it’s really great. it’s so easy to get great tasting steak with some olive oil & then this steak rub. we’ve had friends & family over for steak & everyone wants to know our secret. they’re surprised to know that it came out of a box!! i would honestly buy stock in this product if i could.
Szeged Steak Rub
This is a GREAT product! Steaks are delicious with this rub. I put it on about 4 hours before grilling. The spices are delicious and penetrate the meat. I highly recommend this product. Because I couldn’t find it in any stores near me, I ordered it on-line and found the company very responsive. Should be five stars.
DelindaOld Bethpage, NY
The best steak seasoning on the market today! Can’t enjoy steak without this seasoning! Rivals longhorns cowboy steak which is amazing! Will buy this product for life!!!!!

:Twingiant first came to my attention when we started conversing about carrying their vinyl in the Heavy Ripples Distro. Truthfully, I'd never heard them before, but one listen to "Pelisneros" the first track on Sin Nombre, and I couldn't get their vinyl into the distro quickly enough. I'd never heard anything quite like them before. Like atomic fusion, :Twingiant some how manage to fuse the ugliest, heaviness of sludge with what can only be called beautiful, southwestern desert-tinged guitar passages. It all creates something far more combustible than the hydrogen bomb.
Starting with a churning, heavy riff, "Pelisneros" drops down into a sublime valley of what sounds like twin guitar work that is sublimely melodic. Then the heaviness attacks, with vocals so thick they need to be pulled out of the vocal chords by a monster truck and a six-foot thick iron chain. Drop back down into that amazing dual guitar work, and erupt again. It's a formula the song follows from cataclysmic beginning to apocalyptic end. Simply an amazing song for those who dig nuance and texture in their sludge and doom, rather than pure pummeling.
From there, each song follows perfectly, working off that interplay of stark beauty and brutal heaviness. On a cut like "Fossilized" the guitars and riffs don't even have to change to bring in the texture. They continue to work through their amazing, melodic phrases while the vocal kicks in and takes the song to another dimension of brutality. And that's what's so amazing. Here, it's not the light giving way to the dark, and back again. It's the light and dark coexisting at the same time, each battling for supremacy. Simply perfectly done.
Only three songs, but in the space of those three songs, DoctoR DooM does everything you could possibly ask of them to introduce themselves as major new players in the heavy rock underground. Released on the outstanding STB Records Label, this one-sided vinyl EP sold out faster than the amount of time I'd last in a UFC ring. When I first heard some tracks by DoctoR DooM, I knew I had to hear more, so when I learned that it was STB putting out the album, I knew I'd be in good hands. STB only does the highest quality issues of great vinyl, and this release was no exception. I'm not going to apologize for writing up a review of a slab of vinyl that is already long sold-out, and there's no way I'm going to apologize for writing about the band. Even if you can't find a copy of this on the after-market, at least you'll know the band name to hunt down their next release. Because if DoomO is any indication, their next release is going to be epic.
Despite the name, DoctoR DooM aren't so much "doom" in the standard intent, as they are darkly progressive in a heavy-post 70s vibe. Employing tons of twin harmony guitar work, they come across like a moodier Thin Lizzy married to Kadavar with a wedding party of Siena Root and Orcus Chylde.
Moody and expressive, dynamic and textured, these three songs work their way expertly through rivers of post-70's progressive rock, never noodling or straying, but staying focused on the goals of the song. I'm reminded of such legendary 70's "Dark" bands like Coven or Black Widow. Acoustics and electrics blend and meld seamlessly in an intoxicating stew. I'm not going to detail each track so I can leave the surprise upon your listen. But listen you must. Free download at Bandcamp!
Can't wait for a full-length to come someday.
Thanks to STB for putting out such a killer release and be sure to check out the STB site for other merch and to see what the latest or next release will be. I'd suggest you check out their back catalog, but considering each release usually sells out within a couple of hours we both know that will be pointless. Follow them closely so you can get in on the magic the next time it drops.

Last year, veteran Maurice Evans was a key part of the Wizards effort to reshape their locker room. While less professional influences were moved out and away from John Wall, Evans was there to provide guidance in the vacuum.
The Wizards liked what he did, so they offered him a front office job, reports the USA Today.
A person familiar with the Wizards who requested anonymity because Evans is unsigned, said the team wanted to bring Evans back — as a front-office executive, a role Evans wants to embrace in the future. Just not now.
“I see myself in that kind of role,” he said. “I just don’t see it quite yet. I still have value as a player and look forward to playing this season.”
Evans also is a VP of the players union and has standing that way with players. There certainly are a lot of teams that could use veteran leadership in the locker room next season — Sacramento, Toronto, Charlotte come quickly to mind and there are others. But for the GMs of those teams they need to look and see if they can find a young player who might develop first, because in the end it is talent that wins in this league.
Evans finds himself among a group of veterans who have something to contribute but have to convince a team of that still, that need to land a contract. In his case, that offer likely comes in the next couple weeks as some GM realizes what he needs is not another prospect but someone to guide the ones he has.

RUGBY: Improved performance leaves St Ives feeling positive following seventh successive defeat
- Credit: Archant
A seventh consecutive defeat to continue a torrid start to a season might ordinarily be a cause for major concern.
But, in the case of St Ives last Saturday, it was seen as a major step in the right direction as they bid to mount a Midlands Division Two East (South) survival mission.
They took plenty of positives from a 24-7 reverse at Leicester side Vipers as players stepping up produced fine performances - despite many playing out of their preferred positions.
There was a resolute debut for newcomer Shaun Mundy in the second row while David Sykes found himself in the unaccustomed position of flanker and made a complete nuisance of himself at the breakdown.
Mitch Newman was forced into action in the centre and had a fine game, especially in defence, and the returning Stuart Cornwell ended the game in a makeshift second row.
You may also want to watch:
The Bulls enjoyed a perfect start as Alex Henly charged down a kick and displayed fine dribbling skills before gathering the ball to touch down.
Henly also added the conversion, but they proved to be his side's only points of the afternoon.

Their lead was cut by an unconverted try before Vipers completed the turnaround when making the most of a numerical advantage with a converted score after Cornwell was yellow-carded.
That second Vipers try was followed by another game-changing moment as St Ives lost Jack Hickman, who had been dominant in the lineout, to an ankle injury.
Two further tries followed for Vipers - one of them converted - in the opening 15 minutes of the second half with St Ives hit by more injuries.
Josh Dear and Sam Smith both soldiered on in the front row despite picking up knocks and the Bulls' walking wounded ensured the Leicester hosts did not have any further joy.
St Ives skipper Ollie Bartlett said: "I'm really pleased with the way the guys who came into the team stepped up.
"We put in a much-improved defensive effort despite having so many people playing out of position. With two home games coming up, we've now got some really positive selection choices to make."
St Ives host Northampton Casuals at Somersham Road this Saturday.

An interesting segment on NPR drew an analogy between Twitter ties and airline hub maps. A recent study from the University of Toronto found that airline connections between your city and the rest of the world predict your Twitter connections. For example, if you live in New York, you’re more likely to have followers in London (a popular airline route) than followers in a small town U.S. city, where an airline route does not exist.
The study also suggests that existing airline routes predict that people in these two connecting cities have common interests, and are more likely to follow each other on Twitter.
How does your Twittersphere match up?

Republicans Brad Raffensperger and Chad Eaton win the two statewide runoff elections in Georgia Tuesday night.
Raffensperger, a state lawmaker from the Atlanta area, defeated former congressman John Barrow to become the state’s next Secretary of State.
Eaton became Public Service Commissioner defeating Democrat Lindy Miller.
Raffensperger will succeed Governor-elect Brian Kemp.
“I’m going to make sure that elections are clean, fair and accurate. And that’s the No. 1 priority as your next secretary of state,” Raffensperger told supporters late Tuesday night, according to the Associated Press.
Kemp tweeted his congratulations to both candidates Tuesday night:

Charles Thompson—aka Black Francis, aka Frank Black—has been somewhat active in recent years with the Pixies, sans Kim Deal, of course. Whether he’s adding to or damaging the band’s legacy depends on whom you ask.
But there’s another body of work with his former band the Catholics that hasn’t been talked about for a while. They called it a day in 2003 when Black reformed the Pixies, leaving six records. The Catholics kept it straighter than Black’s better-known band on records like Pistolero and Black Letter Days, digging into Americana and classic rock, while retaining some of Black’s notable quirks.
He just released Frank Black and the Catholics: The Complete Recordings on Cooking Vinyl, and that’s literally what it is—seven discs, featuring every song ever recorded by the band (plus demos and B-sides) all arranged alphabetically as they have been known to do with albums and setlists. It’s a body of work worth revisiting. And that’s exactly what we did, spending a solid 45 minutes talking with Black about what makes his songwriting tick, doing things alphabetically and scratching his Tom Petty itch.
: In your eyes or, I guess, your ears, what makes the Catholics different from the Pixies or your solo material?
Frank Black: I guess the main thing, and this is from a technical aspect, is that it’s all recorded live. I would say in general that the Catholics material—not all of it, but a lot of it—tends to be rooted in this American rock and roll kind of aesthetic. Sort of reared in lots of ’70s music. It’s less arty, I would say. It’s not trying to be mainstream music or anything like that, but it’s sort of more like a Rolling Stones record, or Bob Dylan. A Tom Petty. But I don’t want to be black and white about this, because the Pixies have their Tom Petty moments, too.
: A lot of it probably has to do with the people you’re playing with.
Black: Some of it has to do with the people, because all of the guitarist players that played in the Catholics—and there were three—were all sort of, you know, kind of chops, hot-rod kind of guitarists. And a couple of them could play pedal-steel guitar. So when you have people like that playing with you, you can scratch a lot of itches. You can go like, “Well I wanna play something that sounds like Johnny Cash, or I wanna do something that sounds like Bob Dylan’s Blonde on Blonde.” I mean, sure, you want to be creative, you want to be original, you want to write songs that are good regardless of whatever itches you’re trying to scratch, but sometimes, you know, I consider it a treat to be able to be recording, and do something that is in a certain genre or certain feel. It’s not about, “Oooh, how can I impress the indie rock music business world?” Don’t get me wrong I don’t go through that kind of thought process when I’ve done artier records with the Pixies, either. You don’t sit around and calculate—you do what feels good to you, or what feels natural. It’s not really about that, you know. It’s just fucking music.
: How hands-on were you in putting this collection together?
Black: Well, I was literally hands-on to gain access to the material, because it was boxes of tape in my possession.
: How was it revisiting these songs?
Black: We had our A-list, which was from the original records. Then we had our B-list, which would’ve been other things that would’ve been bonus tracks or B-sides—stuff that was out there, but not on the records. Then there was the C-list, material that had never been released—so ultimately songs that would’ve been rejected for some reason [laughs]. It was these little rejects—and there weren’t a lot of them—that really were the only ones that required contemplation, know what I mean? Is there a reason why we didn’t release it the first time? Like, “OK, I can hear that. Are these best left unreleased, or can I forgive whatever aspects hindered them from being released the first time?” It was more about compiling everything as opposed to, “What should I put on there?” It’s box set—put everything on there!
: When you release a retrospective like this, you’re asked to reflect on the past. Are you interested in that sort of thing?
Black: I’m very accustomed to the routine of being interviewed by somebody, and inevitably that person is going to ask me to reflect on some point in time because, whatever, that’s your legacy, that’s what you’re dragging around with you. I’m very frank with people, and tell them, “You know I don’t usually think about that.” I’m really happy to have it released, but it’s not like I need to have some sort of magical, fuzzy reconnection with my past to coincide with the box set [laughs]. I’m sure there are people that are like that, and I’m not mocking someone that might have those tendencies, but I’m not going to sit around… those moments in my life will happen whenever they happen, but I can’t plan on them. And releasing a box set is a planned event, you know what I mean?
: Well, here’s another question that will ask you to reflect a little bit. If you were to assess your songwriting from your very early days to now, what would be your take on that?
Black: I guess as far as my songwriting, I’m sort of a quirky songwriter. I don’t want to use the phrase “I’m a hit or miss songwriter,” because it’s just all about creating a recorded document that is not boring. So, what is not boring to you in terms of your record collection? I’m sure it’s quite varied. Same with me. And same with all the records that I’ve been associated with. It’s not like I’m trying to do a certain kind of song. Anything is fine. You know, I gotta say that not every song that I’ve ever written, years later ends up being, “Oh yeah, what a magical song that I wrote.” You know, it’s like, “No, it wasn’t that magical.” At the time it felt magical. At the time it felt important. Certain songs just sound like the quirky ditties that they are. And there’s nothing wrong with that. In terms of the audience, when I talk to people and they say, “Oh, I love your stuff; I really love such-and-such song.” And it’ll be that weird little ditty. So that kind of blows everything out of the water. If that’s his favorite song, who’s to say that he’s wrong? It gives you license to just do a bunch of stuff; and some of it will sound really catchy, and some of it will sound weird, some of it will sound kind of mainstream, and some of it will sound like I have no business touching that genre. But I’m going to do it anyway. And part of being an artist is being willing to fail.
: The songs on the box set are arranged alphabetically, which, without a particular track order, shows how strong they are. It’s just a sea of songs.
Black: I think that’s the cockiness of doing something in alphabetical order, whether it’s a setlist, a record, or in this case an entire box set. It’s just a kind of cocky bravado. I know that every song is not amazing—I get it. But here I am asking someone to buy it—I’m releasing it. I’m saying, “Hey this is good enough to eat. You can buy this; you can eat this donut.” It’s kind of a way to show loyalty to the material. It’s like, “You know what? It’s all good. It’s all valid.” That’s my personality.
: With that said, is there a particular Catholics record that stands out to your ears?
Black: No, they all have their own little background story. And that background story has an impact on the sound.
: I’m a fan of Pistolero myself.
Black: Pistolero is songs that were written very quickly, because of the excitement of having this band. I was supposed to be patiently working out some songs with the producer, and it turned into more a situation of me calling the producer and saying, “Hey, I wrote like 10 new songs and I really love them; let’s start recording tomorrow.” [laughs] It’s impatience. But it’s not impatience for a bad reason; it’s the impatience of being really excited about making music. I think there’s a lot of energy in that. Would I have written better songs if I would’ve given it a few months? Well maybe, I don’t know. Again, it’s kind of bravado. It’s like, “I’ve got some songs! Let’s record them now! These sound fucking awesome! Let’s release them right now!”

Much Wenlock: The Shylte Brook
A Rapid Response Catchment
After the severe flash flooding in the Cornish town of Boscastle in 2004, the Environment Agency was tasked to look at other catchments around the country that would behave in a similar manner should conditions prevail. A number of other catchments have been identified and the Shylte Brook, running through Much Wenlock, is one of them.
In autumn 2015 the Environment Agency sent a briefing note to properties identified as at risk of flash flooding. This was the first step in raising awareness of the risks of this type of flooding. Whilst a large number of properties are shown to be within areas that may be affected by extreme flash flooding, everyone who lives or works in the Much Wenlock area should be aware. Flooding of this type can occur with very little warning, and the depth and speed of flood water can increase quickly. Knowing what action to take is extremely important.
The Environment Agency, Shropshire Council and the National Flood Forum met with representatives from Much Wenlock’s Town Council, Flood Group and Civic Society in February to discuss the issue and start to plan the next steps. Community concerns around the autumn briefing note were discussed, and ways of further raising awareness in the community were planned. The Much Wenlock Flood Group, formed by a group of interested volunteers, has a vast knowledge of the Shylte Brook catchment and how it behaves, and will be a major part of work in the wider community regarding the flash flooding issue.
Also discussed at the meeting was Shropshire Council’s progress with the Much Wenlock Flood Alleviation Scheme. The scheme now has full planning consent for construction of the flood storage ponds and the restoration of Westwood Quarry. Construction is due to start in autumn 2016. The group discussed that although the scheme will hugely benefit the town in terms of reducing flood risk it will be of limited effect during a ‘flash flooding’ event, and this is the reason that people must be aware of the risks.
The next step is to arrange a community flood awareness event. This will take the form of a drop in style session in late spring / early summer. Representatives from the relevant organisations will be present and the doors will be open for all to drop by and talk about flooding issues in the Shylte Brook catchment. Further details will be released soon.
