Part ExchangeWelcome

A new series for children

has been a huge

success

encouraging

children and

parent to share

books and enjoy

reading for

pleasure.

With a target audience

of 3 - 6 year olds Bookaboo is a 13 part CITV series that ran

from 2nd March to 3rd April with a central drum playing rock puppy character called Bookaboo, who is

inspired by picture books, so much so says "I just can't play without a story a day!".

In each 11 minute episode, one of bookaboo's celebrity fans goes back stage to the rock puppy's tour

bus, the 'bookabus', to see if they can tempt him back to stage by sharing a picture book with him. The list

of celebrities sharing a book with Bookaboo included American rock singer Meat Loaf, British actress

Amanda Holden, footballer David Seaman, and former Spice Girl Mel C, comedians Al Murray and Julian

Clary among others.

THE BOOKABOO BOOKS

The 13 featured books were chosen on the basis that they are fun to read out

loud and both children and adults will find them entertaining.

The Cow That Laid An Egg by Andy Cutbill and illustrated by Russel Ayto

Splat the Cat by Rob Scotton

More Pants by Giles Andreae and illustrated by Nick Sharratt

Whatever by William Bee

The Hairy Toe, illustrated by Daniel Postgate

A Mummy For Owen by Marion Dane Bauer and illustrated by John Butler

No Matter What by Debi Gliori

Class Two at the Zoo by Julia Jarman and illustrated by Lynne Chapman

The Lamb Who Came for Dinner by Steve Smallman and Joelle Dreidemy

Pooh Is That You Bertie? by David Roberts

That Rabbit Belongs to Emily Brown by Cressida Cowell and Neal Layton

The Night Pirates by Peter Harris and illustrated by Deborah Allwright

Norma Snows by Paula Metcalf

One key area that Bookaboo is keen to

tackle is illustrating how fun reading is,

especially to boys as research has shown

boys find it harder to engage with reading.

With an increasing number of parents lacking

confidence in their own literacy skills and one in

five children leaving primary school unable to read,

Bookaboo's aim is to highlight the fun that can be had

when an adult and a child share a book.

Ricakro Books in Horbury is offering £2.00 offpurchases of the Bookaboo featured titlesexclusive to Ossett Review Readers. Call intoRickaros for details: 17 High St, HorburyTel: 01924 278811

Formed in response to customer requests for quality headboards, footstools andchairs to coordinate with their curtains bought from The Curtain Shop, OssettUpholstery has gone from strength to strength, now employing three local people.Providing a service to the many people who want to own quality furniture that willlast, tailor made to their own specifications. For re-upholstery of your existingfurniture or newly commissioned bespoke furniture, you can be confident of the highquality workmanship and customer service associated with The Curtain Shop.

Martin RandallWhen Martin Randall joined Ossett Upholstery in 2005, David Aldred, theowner, knew that he’d found the perfect person for the fledglingbusiness. Although Ossett Upholstery was a newly formed company,Martin’s 40 years of experience and expertise was, and still is, invaluableand ensures a standard of workmanship and service seldom found thesedays. Apprentice trained, Martin learnt his craft at WT Nettletons,working on both traditional and contemporary pieces of furniture.

Lucy HinchLucy has recently been awarded the prestigious award ofApprentice of the Year by the North Lancs Training Group forher work with Ossett Upholstery. She started herapprenticeship over two years ago after deciding her ‘A’ levelcourse at Ossett Sixth Form wasn’t for her and feels she’s reallyfound her niche in the male dominated world of upholstery.

Masi KholwadiaMasi joined Ossett Upholstery in July 2008, having worked as anupholsterer in Batley for over five years. Having been trained andqualified in traditional upholstery, Masi prefers the original method ofupholstery to modern techniques, which sits very well with the ethosof Ossett Upholstery, where a high quality of workmanship andmaterials used ensures fine quality furniture.

Easter means one thing in our household - chocolate,chocolate and more chocolate! Here are a couple of ourfavourite chocolate recipes that have stood the test of timeand are always great for giving as gifts.

ChocolateChocolate actually contains many substances that aregood for you. Flavonols - have antioxidising properties which helpprevent tissue damage and cardiovascular problems. Vitamin E, beta-carotene & copper - also antioxidants. Potassium - reduces blood pressure. Cholesterol-reducing hypocholesterolemiant fats - darkchocolate is particularly high in these.

Chocolate Oakcakes8oz (225g) Butter6oz (175g) Light muscovado sugar8oz (225g) Porridge oats1oz (25g) Cocoa powder8oz (225g) Plain dark chocolate

Preheat oven to 180C, 350F, Gas Mark 4 and grease ashallow 19cm (7.5in) square cake tin.Melt the butter in a suacepan over a low heat. Removepan from heat and add the sugar, cocoa and oats. Stirwell to combine evenly.Pour mixture into the tin and bake in oven for 10-15 mins,until bubbling. Allow the mixture to cool in the tin.Melt the dark chocolate and pour it over the top of thecooled oatcakes. Leave in a cool place until chocolate isset, then cut into squares.N.B. Chocolate can separate from oatcakes when cut.You can cut oatcakes into squares before pouring onchocolate and letting chocolate dribble down sides ofsquares to give it better purchase.

Rum Truffles

In a heavy based saucepan, heat cream & butter until almostboiling.Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate.When the chocolate has melted, add the alcohol.Pour chocolate mixture into a flat tin lines with greaseproof paperand leave in fridge for several hours until firm.When set, pull off small pieces and roll into balls (chill again if themixture becomes difficult to work with)Roll the truffles in one of the coatings or dip into melted chocolateand leave in fridge to harden

How does it work? Simply use your mobile’s phone book to

store the name and number of someone who

should be contacted if you have an

emergency – but add the letters ICE in front

of their name.

ICE stands for ‘In Case of Emergency’: it’s

what the emergency services will look for if

you’re involved in an accident and have your

mobile phone with you. This straightforward

idea was developed by the East Anglian

Ambulance Trust.

Getting startedOn most mobile phones you simply need to

select ‘Contacts’ and choose ‘Add New

Contact’, then enter the letters ‘ICE’ next to

the name, followed by the telephone number

of your next of kin. Make sure you choose a

number that’s easy to get in touch with – a

home number could be useless in an

emergency if the person works full time. We

recommend that you enter daytime and

evening numbers where this is possible.

What should I do next?Make sure the person whose name and

number you are giving has agreed to be your

‘ICE partner’. You should also make sure

your ICE partner has a list of people to

contact on your behalf, such as your place of

work. In addition, they’ll need to know about

any medical conditions that could affect your

emergency treatment, including allergies or

medication.

If you’re under 18, your ICE partner should

be your mother, your father or an immediate

member of your family authorised to make

decisions on your behalf. Friends and other

relatives won’t be able to make decisions for

you if you’re admitted to hospital.

If you store multiple contacts and numbers,

store them as ICE-1, ICE-2, ICE-3 etc in

order of priority.

Storing an ICE number makes it easier for

everyone if you’re involved in an accident. It

only takes a few seconds, so do it today -

please.

In Case of Emergency, who do you contact?Eight out of ten people aren’t carrying

information that would help if they were

involved in an accident.

Storing next-of-kin details in your mobile

phone can assist the emergency services if

you’re unable to tell them who to contact.

Healthy Hearts at WorkMillions of employees across the country are puttingtheir health at risk, just by sitting at their desk. The useof computers and email have drastically reduced theamount of time office workers spend away from theirdesk. Some workers even stay glued to their chairthroughout lunchtime. Physical inactivity is linked witha higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, coronaryheart disease, high blood pressure and cancer and recentfigures show that this is costing the NHS over £1 billion.

Many of find it difficult to fit in regular exercise, but we

could be missing great opportunities to increase our

levels of activity whilst at work. Just a 10% increase in

activity levels can make a huge difference, here’s how it

can be done:

Do the twist - Don’t just sit there, twist your body from

side to side, make sure you are sitting in a comfortable

position with you back straight and your feet flat on the

floor and twist slightly in your chair from side to side

Stretch your legs - Make a point of getting up and

walking across the office to talk to colleagues instead of

emailing. You could even hold a weekly ‘No Email’ day

In flight entertainment - Remember the feet and leg

exercises you are asked to do on aeroplane, these are

excellent for maintaining circulation in the lower body

Step out - Organise a daily ‘corporate walk, a brisk 20

minute walk every lunchtime will help to keep your

heart healthy

Use the stairs - Stairs are an excellent work out, even

when climbed slowly they offer a fantastic way of

improving fitness and making your heart muscle

stronger. If you’re on the ground floor you can go up

the stairs and back down, whenever you feel like

stretching your legs

Snack attack - If you get the munchies at work avoid

high fat, salty or sugary snacks. Instead go for fruit or

chopped crunchy vegetables, such as carrots, celery or

peppers.

Go nuts - Nuts and seeds are great to snack on and are

a good source of essential omegas 3 fatty acids. But

remember they are high in calories and you only need a

palmful every day so it’s a good idea to measure them

out and pop them in a small dish on your desk.

Keep your heart healthy, don’t just sit there, seek out

opportunities to get moving, choose healthy snacks and

keep your heart healthy.

health & wellbeingHit Your Peak forHeart Research UKYorkshire’s own national heart charity, Heart Research

UK, is urging keen walkers to get their boots on and

sign up for their flagship fundraiser, the ‘Yorkshire

Three Peaks Challenge’ on Saturday 20 June. This 25-

mile walk, not only provides spectacular scenery and

gets the heart pumping, it helps raise funds for

pioneering research into the prevention, treatment and

cure of Britain’s biggest killer, heart disease.

Now in its thirteenth year, the challenge covers

three of the highest peaks in the Yorkshire Dales -

Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough. The

charity needs as many dedicated, physically fit people

as possible to do one, two, or even three peaks to help

it continue the fight against heart disease.

Denise Armstrong, Lifestyle Manager for Heart

Research UK says: “Walking regularly is great

exercise to keep your heart healthy. It helps tone your

muscles, improves circulation and can make you feel

happier and more relaxed. Taking part in an

established event like this is a fantastic way to raise

money and find the motivation to get into an exercise

routine and stick to it.”

Unlike many other organisations, Heart Research

UK does not charge an entry fee, it simply asks all

walkers to raise as much sponsorship money as

possible. Often participants fundraise in memory of a

loved one or in support of someone who is living with

heart disease. Walkers can choose to face the

challenge alone, with friends and family, or with

colleagues from work, as part of a team building day.

For further information or to enter the YorkshireThree Peaks Challenge, contact Heart ResearchUK on 0113 234 7474 or visit our websitewww.heartresearch.org.uk/three_peaks.htm

Throw away those hair removal

creams, waxes and razors. Have

unwanted hair anywhere on the body

removed using Ellipse.

Ellipse Hair Removal is a fast and safe

treatment which offers you clinically

proven long-term hair removal. The

process uses light, which is absorbed

by the pigment in the individual hairs.

The pigment converts light to heat, a

process which disables the ability of the

hair follicle to grow further hair.

In addition, the Ellipse system can be used

to treat Facial Thread Veins, Acne and Skin

Pigmentation such as Brown Spots, Sun

Damage and High Colour.

Ellipse Treatment is gentle and relatively

painless, only a slight sting is felt on the skin but

;being experienced after the treatment.

Let us help you to put an end to tiresome hair

removal methods, such as shaving, needle

electrolysis or repeated waxing.

Ask at The Beauty Spa and we will guide you through

the whole process step by step.

Wakefield West Riding Operatic Society

In a Victorian West Midlands charity workhouse, orphan boys march towards their places at the dinnertables. They dream about the meal they are looking forward to. But although they anticipate the pleasuresof hot sausage and mustard, cold jelly and custard, in fact all they ever get is gruel.After eating their miserable daily ration, one boy called Oliver dares to ask Mr Bumble, who runs theworkhouse with Widow Corney, ‘Please sir, I want some more’. Mr Bumble is enraged and Oliver tries torun away. When he is caught, Mr Bumble takes him into the cold snowy streets to be sold for the price of amere seven guineas. He is bought by Mr Sowerberry, an undertaker, and is ill-treated by him and bullied bytheir older hired hand, Noah Claypole. Oliver is very miserable and daydreams of the mother he neverknew. When he is teased about his feelings, he hits out and is put into a coffin as punishment, but he escapesand runs out into the streets and after days and days of walking, finds himself in the streets of London.

Join the cast of Oliver to see where this timeless taleof the little orphan boy leads. With fantastic songssuch as Food Glorious Food and As Long as He NeedsMe, this is a night not to be missed and providesentertainment for all the family.

Running for PaulsworldCrigglestone man Colin

Ward is in training to take part

in the London Marathon on the 26th

April, raising money for the local Paulsworld charity.

Colin and his wife Sue were good friends with Paul

Curtis and his partner Julie for many years before

Paul was diagnosed and subsequently lost his

battle with Motor Neurone Disease.

Both Colin and Sue are involved with

Paulsworld, the charity Paul set up in frustration

after not being able to get the much needed

mobility equipment fast enough to ensure the best

possible quality of life for as long as possible.

Paulsworld fundraises to buy mobility

equipment, such as wheelchairs and a specially

adapted van so that sufferes with MND can remain

mobile as long as possible and get out and about.

It was one of Paul’s frustrations that there was so

much red tape and delay, that if applied for a piece

of equipment to help keep him mobile, by the time

the equipment arrived with him, the disease had

progressed to such an extent it rendered the piece

of equipment useless to him.

MND suffers

need equipment

quickly to benefit

from it and this is

what Paulsworld

tries to do - get the

right equipment to

the right people

quickly so that they

can use and

benefit from it.

Colin is no

stranger to running

marathons, having

fundraised

previously dor

different causes

including Breast

Cancer.

If you would like to sponsor Colin or make a

donation to the Paulsworld charity, please ring Sue

Ward, the treasurer of the charity, on: 01924 25023

or 07963 227857. www.paulsworld.org.uk
