Wakefield Hospice is inviting everyone to remember a loved one this Christmas by dedicating a light on the Tree of Lights for its annual ‘Light up a Life’ appeal. The hospice will send supporters a personalised card for each dedication, and each name will appear in the Book of Christmas Blessings to be displayed at Wakefield Cathedral over the festive period. This year everyone who dedicates a light will also receive a small copy of the Book of Blessings so they can view their dedication at home.
\nThe hospice’s ‘Light up a Life’ service, which is usually attended by hundreds of supporters, will be held online this year in line with social distancing guidelines. Everyone is invited to join the virtual service. Details will be sent to supporters in a home pack which local companies are generously supporting.
\nSusan Wright, Ward Sister at the hospice, said, ‘Christmas is a time of celebration and sharing but it can also be a difficult time when you are parted from your loved ones, especially this year. The ‘Light up a Life’ appeal gives us all the opportunity to remember family and friends who are absent, and every donation will help fund the hospice’s services. We are doing our upmost to keep our patients, families, staff, volunteers and supporters safe during this challenging period. This year is our 30th anniversary and we need the local community’s support now more than ever. We are still here, sharing the care for people affected by life-limiting illnesses.’
\nFor details please visit www.wakefieldhospice.org/light or call the hospice on 01924 331401.

\nOssett historians Steve Wilson and Alan Howe maintain biographies of the 93 Ossett men and women who gave their lives in this conflict at www.ossett.net.
\nThere is also some recognition of men from Horbury and Middlestown.
\nThe family of an Ossett WW2 airman who died during an air raid over Europe got in touch with Mr Wilson after reading the biography of their relative and seeing several pictures of the Ossett War Memorial.
\n“The model of the Lancaster bomber was donated and sent to me,” he said.
\n“The family asked for it to be placed on the war memorial in memory of all the Ossett airmen who gave their lives during WW2.”
\nOne of Ossett’s oldest ex servicemen and Horbury, Sitlington & Ossett branch of
\nThe Royal British Legion representative, Harry Wakefield placed a memorial piece featuring the model at the Ossett site on VE Day last week.

\nLabour’s Darren Byford has been returned as Horbury and South Ossett Ward Councillor by just 161 votes, while Lyn Mastermann was replaced by Tory Tony Homewood with 2,395 votes in Ossett.
\nThe result reflects the overall pattern at Wakefield Council.
\nLabour still retains majority, but the Conservatives have made significant gains to reduce this. Labour holds 11 of the 18 seats they were defending.
\nThey gained two seats from vacancies: one held by an independent, another previously held by Labour.
\nThey lost six seats to the Conservatives, who held both the seats they were defending.
\nThe Liberal Democrats gained one seat from Labour.The make-up of the Council is as follows: Labour 42 seats, Conservative 18 seats, Liberal Democrats two seats.
\nMr Byford’s campaign focused on local issues that directly affect Horbury and South Ossett residents.
\n“It was a positive campaign showing what we as a community can achieve. It was based on achievements not negativity,” he said.
\nSince being first elected in May 2016, Mr Byford has worked with community groups to deliver change.
\n“There is an amazing community spirit in Horbury and South Ossett and I have been able to offer them help and support,” he said.
\nMr Byford hopes to deliver “more of the same” from “listening, understanding and then getting on with it.”
\nHorbury’s Conservative John Allum received 2070 votes, with Liberal Mark Goodair obtaining 174 and Green Richard Norris gaining 159.
\nConservative Tony Homewood took away over half the vote in Ossett with 2395 votes, outgoing Councillor Lyn Mastermann received 1729, Green Stephen Scott 220 and Liberal Malcolm Pollack 110.
\nThe voting count at Thorne’s Park Stadium in Wakefield went way into the early hours on Saturday, taking 15 hours with our Wards being some of the earlier decisions.

\nOnce results are confirmed, we will profile the issues our local government representatives from Horbury and South Ossett (HSO), as well as Ossett Wards will be rallying for.
\nThe Liberal Democrats, Conservatives and Greens put up candidates vowing to break the Labour stronghold, as Labour traditionally dominate the Wakefield Council with 63 seats.
\nTony Homewood in Ossett and Jonathon Allum in HSO supported Conservative MP’s Imran Kahn’s conservative line. Their party has attacked records on supporting local housing developments, infrastructure and skills development.
\nThe Labour vote was represented by current councillors Darren Byford and Lynn Masterman. They campaigned very hard, reminding voters of all the community’s wins in their respective electorates since they took office.
\nHSO Liberal Democrats Mark Goodair’s campaign was offset when he scorned Wakefield in a debate on The Big Yorkshire Phone In on BBC Leeds. Malcolm Pollack was his Ossett party comrade towing the national line of “being forward-looking, modern, green, internationalist and pro-European”.
\nRichard Norris and Stephen Scott represent the Greens, aiming to break the two party hold of local politics. They campaigned to provide a “district for the future”, declaring there’s a climate emergency and to boost equality.\nGiven the diversity in polling topics, the result is sure going to be interesting.

\nLike all charities Wakefield Hospice’s income was hugely affected by the closure of shops and being unable to host many of their usual events. If you would like to know more about Wakefield Hospice and how to get involved please visit www.wakefieldhospice.org.

\nIf you had intentions to get fit and eat better in 2021, don’t write off the year just yet.
\nAnd why wait? Here’s Julie’s advice that will hopefully help you make healthy choices, and convince you not to lie on the lounge binge junk food and Netflix.
\nCrash diets don’t work, here’s why…
\nAt this time of year many people embark on a ‘fad diet’. This can often lead to a roller coaster of going from one diet to another, creating a feeling of misery, hunger and tiredness.
\nThese diets are about what you can’t eat, which can lead to negative thoughts. A recent study that followed a group of individuals over a two-year period found that 83% of participants gained back more weight than they’d initially lost.
\nSo why don’t they work?
\nIn evolutionary terms, the human body is designed to maintain your weight and that is one of its main focuses. Crash diets do not work long term, FACT!!
\nIt is important to realise that losing weight will also not necessarily make you ‘healthier’. Dieting can be stressful and doesn’t teach you to eat healthily.
\nIn order to achieve and maintain health for the long term, you need to adopt lifelong healthy habits; thinking about what you can have, turning eating into a positive experience.
\nHere are my top five tips for long term healthy eating and avoiding crash diets:
\nPlan ahead
\nMaking the decision what to eat when you’re hungry and tired can be where it all goes wrong.
\nEat breakfast and never skip meals
\nTo help keep hunger at bay and balanced blood sugar levels, ensure food consistency. Research shows that people who eat breakfast tend to have a more balanced diet overall.
\nSo, start your day with a healthy breakfast which includes protein e.g. eggs or porridge with nuts and seeds will help you avoid you becoming overly hungry, avoiding snacking before lunchtime.
\nPortion control
\nTake a look at your portion sizes as it can be possible to eat too much of a good thing. A good guide is to divide your plate into four quarters.
\nFill your plate with a quarter protein and carbohydrates (potato, pasta, rice), with the final half featuring vegetables, salad or fruit.
\nExercise
\nRegular exercise will keep your metabolism high and is key for weight loss. It helps to improve glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity (which can lead to diabetes), burns calories and reduces abdominal fat.
\nPrioritise your sleep
\nSleep is critical in weight management, as it controls the hormones that regulate metabolism and appetite.
\nFinally, getting the right support and having the right mindset is key to maintain a healthy weight to help you reach your long-term goals for health and happiness.
\nFor long term success, it is important to adopt a healthy lifestyle rather than being on a diet, so that you feel good from the inside out.
\nJulie hopes this is an ideal opportunity for you to receive her expert support to beat those unhealthy eating habits once and for all.\nShe has supported many clients to successfully eat and live well. She offers support that would help to have a positive outlook during lockdown.

\nC20 Society caseworker Coco Whittaker said: “The 1920’s Gawthorpe Water Tower is a muchloved feature of the Ossett landscape in Yorkshire. We are delighted it has been listed and hope this will ensure it is protected and maintained for the benefit of future generations.”
\nChris Burley, who organised the local campaign and submitted the listing application, commented: “I’ve lived close to the tower all my life and seen it as a great local attraction. But this all started with my wife Joanne one day saying, ‘it needs a good paint job, it’s looking tatty.’ We tried a lot of ways to get it done. It needs substantial repairs, and you can’t paint it until then, but there is no funding for this, meaning it would fall apart and then be demolished which we couldn’t see happen. After great success with the local community and a meeting to discuss, we applied to get it listed to save it. Now we can concentrate on repairs and maintenance, then painting.”
\nHistoric England’s listing report states: “As a structure primarily serving a functional purpose one might expect it to simply be utilitarian in design, but instead it is treated architecturally, demonstrating that aesthetic considerations were clearly just as important as functionality. It is clear that the local board intended to make an impressive visual statement reflecting the civic pride of the township in this provision, and the tower’s elegant rotunda design successfully achieves this, with its panelled tank and domed cupola, all in reinforced concrete.
\n“Stylistically the tower compares very favourably with other listed concrete\nwater towers, including the water tower at Rockwell Green, Somerset (about\n1930, Grade II) and the water tower at Goole (completed 1927, Grade II). In a wider context, numerous listed examples of water towers serving private country\nestates survive, including the ornamental water tower and sun room at Wappingthorn, West Sussex (about 1930, Grade II), which is more like a folly, the near-identically styled tower at St Antony’s Convent, Leweston, Dorset (about 1930, Grade II), and the vernacular dovecotestyle water tower at Lytes\nCary, Somerset (about 1934, Grade II), but there are far fewer listed municipal\ntowers. Gawthorpe Water Tower is a notable example of this type of public tower.”
\nGawthorpe Water Tower is also of special historic interest in reflecting the\ndevelopments in public water supply provision that took place in England in the latter half of the 19th century and early 20th century.

\nEvery lady needs a little pampering and Christmas is the best time to do so. With\nthe family together these holidays, it’s the perfect time to go all out with something that will give her a true treat.
\nWe’ve got a great range of ladies clothing boutiques in Horbury and Ossett to support this festive season, where you could get a voucher or choose from the latest winter range if you dare!
\nCooking is a passion for many people, and there are plenty of stores where you can buy cookware. Great gifts from stores like these include specialist cookware sets (e.g. think paella pans, woks, copper-based saucepans), famous brand crockery, delightful cake storage containers and elegant cutlery sets.
\nFor the woman who enjoys creating art and craft, there are several excellent options. In terms of sourcing raw materials, don’t forget that vouchers from wool, fabric, and art supply stores are a great way to ensure that your loved one can select the materials that appeal to them and best meet their needs.
\nAs we mentioned last week for men, a skillfully executed portrait is also something to contemplate. This can be achieved by arranging a photo shoot with a photographer or else providing an artist with a photo.
\nThink about updating their electronic equipment for teenage girls. The modern\nsmartphone has replaced the need for all sorts of other tech. Find out what kind of ‘device’ your teenager currently has and talk to their mobile network provider about an upgrade. Or buy an accessory such as a camera lens or a new case.
\nMen, we’re going to let you in on a secret: whatever you do, please halt when it comes to buying a generic beauty product pack containing perfumed talcum powder, soap, and bath salts. Also, don’t buy anything to do with a gym or weight loss.
\nIn terms of providing your woman with experiences, think indulgent. Massages,\nbeauty and nail salons, reflexology and aromatherapy are all wonderful ways to say: “Thank you for all you do for me and our family. Here’s something just for you.” Consider arranging more than one session – think mid-January or early February after children return to school.
\nAnother great experience is a road trip. How about a local UK holiday for just the two of you or planning a weekend abroad together for next summer? Somewhere like Paris or Prague is going to be accepted well after the year we’ve had!
\nAs we wrote last week, no matter what sort of gifts you decide to provide the women in your life, don’t forget that the very best gift is time – the time you spend together sharing experiences, talking over the past and making new\nmemories.

\nThe role of a Community First Responder is to provide reassurance, potentially life saving treatment and care for the patients of Yorkshire until the arrival of an ambulance resource.
\nVolunteers will learn how to administer Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), provide oxygen therapy and complete a full set of observations, along with the policies and procedures of the CFR role and the Yorkshire Ambulance Service.
\nTo be considered for the role you must be over the age of 18, have a full\nUK driving licence with no more than 3 penalty points, access to a 4WD, be able to pass our recruitment checks which include an enhanced DBS,\noccupational health assessment and a satisfactory reference, and be able to commit to a minimum of seven hours each week. It is a flexible role that\ncan be completed from home, and you can volunteer 24/7, so times to suit.
\nThe benefits of the role are being able to give something back locally, providing\nsupport to a patient in their time of need, when calling 999. Also gaining knowledge and skills in a first aid capacity, potentially\nsaving a life.
\nIf you have some spare time, and would consider doing something really valuable\nin 2021, head to: www.communityresponders.yas.nhs.uk.
