Welcome to the September issue of the Ossett Review. A hugely
busy month for us as we prepare our the titles to our group of
local magazines. The team here would like to thank all the
advertisers who have supported us over the last three and a half
years, making the Ossett Review the success it is.
A big thanks also to our contributors who help to make the Ossett
Review a useful and interesting local magazine - particularly to
Lesley who always writes the ever popular ‘Life with Lottie’ page.
This month we’ve included an article from a young lady, Taylor
Kent, who spend some time with us in the summer - she had very
strong views on the lack of youth facilities in Ossett.
There’s lots going on in the area this month - Trinity Church are
busy with their Open Day on the 13th (the views from the top of
the tower are amazing!) and a really fun Duck Race on the Calder
on the 20th. Proceeds from these events are going towards their
Make It Hot fundraising. Ossett Town Hall is open for the Heritage
Open Days on the 13th, so if you’ve ever wanted to see the
Mayors Parlour or council chamber, go along for a guided tour. In
fact our Diary page is full this month - take a look on page 26.
And for those of you who have been wondering where
Sitlington is, we’ve included a quick explanation on page8.
See you in October,
Caron

The Tales
of Beedle
the Bardby J. K. Rowling
In December 2007,J.K. Rowling unveiledThe Tales of Beedlethe Bard, a very
special book of five wizarding fairy tales. Sevenindividual copies were produced, eachhandwritten and illustrated on vellum, bound inbrown morocco leather and mounted withdifferent semi-precious stones. Six of the bookswere given by the author to those most closelyconnected to the Harry Potter books over thelast 17 years; the seventh was given to TheChildren’s High Level Group charity andauctioned by the charity at Sotheby’s in London.
J K Rowling says: “There was understandabledisappointment among Harry Potter fans whenonly one copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bardwas offered to the public last December. I amtherefore delighted to announce that, thanks tothe generous support of Bloomsbury, Scholasticand Amazon (who bought the handwritten copyat auction) – and with the blessing of thewonderful people who own the other six originalbooks - The Tales of Beedle the Bard will nowbe widely available to all Harry Potter fans.Royalties will be donated to the Children’s HighLevel Group, to benefit institutionalised childrenin desperate need of a voice. The new editionwill include the Tales themselves, translatedfrom the original runes by Hermione Granger,and with illustrations by me, but also notes byProfessor Albus Dumbledore, which appear bygenerous permission of the HogwartsHeadmasters’ Archive.”
Containing clues that were to prove crucial toHarry Potter’s final mission to destroy LordVoldemort’s Horcruxes, The Tales of Beedle theBard is the volume of five wizarding fairy tales
left to Hermione Granger by Albus Dumbledorein the seventh and final book, Harry Potter andthe Deathly Hallows. Only one – The Tale of theThree Brothers – is recounted in the book. InThe Tales of Beedle the Bard, the fourremaining stories are revealed for the very firsttime.
The Tales ofBeedle the Bard ispublished by TheChildren’s High
Level Group (CHLG), a registered charity co-founded in 2005 by J.K. Rowling and EmmaNicholson MEP to make life better forvulnerable children. JK Rowling has waived allroyalties and all net proceeds from the sale ofthe books – expected to be in the region of £4million / $8 million – will be donated to CHLG.
The Tales of Beedle the Bard will be availablefrom December 4, 2008.

Where’sSitlington?
We recently received a call from a gentleman
in Wales saying that after reading the Ossett
Review during a visit to Ossett, he had
looked for Sitlington on his road atlas but
couldn’t find it - even his Tom Tom didn’t
know where it was! Could we explain?
Since advertising that the Ossett Review isdistributed in Sitlington, we have beeninundated with calls and emails asking whereSitlington is, including calls from people livingthere! So here’s a quick background to clearup any confusion.
Sitlington is the name of the parish councilcovering Netherton, Middlestown, Overton &Midgley and going up to the boundary ofKirklees in the West and down to the RiverCalder in the East. The parish council hasnothing to do with the church, it is purelyanother tier of local government and is able tolevy a local charge which is collected with theCommunity Charge and used specifically forlocal facilities and projects.
Until about the 19th century, Sitlington wascalled Shitlington and according to A.H.Smith’s The Place-Names of the West Ridingof Yorkshire, part II, meant ‘Scyt(t)elsfarmstead’.
It included Over Shitlington (now Overton),Middle Shitlington (now Middlestown) andNether Shitlington (now Netherton) - eachname gradually changing and the ‘h’disappearing altogether from Shitlingtonpresumably for reasons of delicacy!
On a similar note, fed up with constant jeersand jokes, the Ugley Women’s Institute inEssex changed itself to the Women’s Instituteof Ugley!

Food & DrinkThe recipes below are favourites with my daughter and have stood the test of time. The Creamy
Salmon Pasta is great for anyone following the Weight Watchers or Slimming World diets as the
sauce is made with low fat Phili - the Cookies however are a whole different ball game and
definitely not recommended if you are counting the calories!
Chocolate Fleck CookiesSo easy, so moreish and so very naughtyINGREDIENTS125g butter2 tblsp castor sugar½ cup sweetened condensed milk1½ cups self-raising flour75g dark chocolate, gratedMETHODCream the butter and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer untillight and fluffy and then beat in the condensed milk. Fold in thesifted flour in 2 lots and stir in the chocolate.Take about a teaspoonful of the mixture and roll into a ball,place on a lightly greased baking tray and press down lightlywith a fork to flatten . Repeat with remaining mixture,Bake in a moderate oven (180C / 350F / Gas Mark 4) for about10 minutes. Leave on the tray for a couple of minutes toharden and cool on a cooling rack.The biscuits will keep for up to 2 weeks in an airtight containerand can be frozen for up to 2 months.
Creamy Salmon PastaA delicious quick, low fat & healthy mealINGREDIENTSSpaghetti or your preferred pasta shapesSalmon fillets - 1 fillet per personFrozen peasLow fat Philidelphia cheese (or any low fat cream cheese)Skimmed or semi-skimmed milkOregano
METHODStart the pasta cooking in plenty of salted boiling water. Boilaccording to packet instructions - usually about 15 mins. Ifcooked before the salmon sauce, leave in the water to keepwarm. Don’t drain until you are ready to serve or the pasta willclog together.Poach the salmon fillets in a little water, milk or diet lemonadeuntil cooked through, usually about 10-15mins. Keep warm.Meanwhile make the sauce by mixing the cream cheese with alittle milk in a small saucepan and add the frozen peas. Half astandard tub of cream cheese serves two, a full tub for four.Use just enough milk to give the consistency of pouring creamand adjust after adding the peas as this can water down thesauce a little. Flavour with dried oregano.Drain the pasta and put onto serving plates. Place a salmonfillet on top of the pasta and pour over the sauce. Alternatively, flake the salmon fillets and mix in with the sauce before serving- this is good if you want the salmon to go further and want toadd more vegetables.

Ossett has many good leisure resources; GreenPark, Cricket Club, Manor Park, Skate Park.However, some of these Parks are ruined with“Graffiti” and “Vandalism”.
Ossett needs a Youth club! It could have funnights, fun activities and fun days out that wouldappeal to each personality. There could be specificnights which catered for specific ages: for example7-10. My vision is that it would be supervised with aGroup leader who would arrange all the activities,trips and outings. It would be a great opportunity tomeet new people and see new sights.
The trips could include; the seaside, themeparks, playing games, trips to the zoo, campingetc... Whatever the trip involved, it would givechildren and teenagers a chance to have an outingand meet and make new friends. All that would berequired would be a small fee that would pay forthe Outing and transportation.
On the nights that you go to the Youth Club youcould: play pool, watch TV, have organizedactivities and even just hang around with yourfriends. Alternatively, the younger children could bedoing activities such as: painting, baking, playingwith toys, paper mashie and making things etc…
The idea is that there is somewhere you can goto play or hang. Also, there could be a homeworkclub; an area which children can form a studygroup. If they can’t concentrate or need help withthe homework, then they can work as a team anddo it together.
The youth club wouldn’t have to just cater for theyounger end of the community. It would be a greatidea for other ages to get involved. There could bea senior session with a mixed age where everyonecould meet each other. The outing for the senior
session could involve going to the seaside or havea gathering on Sunday for a meal (something thatwould get the community together).
This is only an idea but I think that it would begreat for Ossett to have a youth centre. It wouldgive people something new to experience; andhopefully give something new to Ossett.
It would be a fantastic opportunity for Ossett tohave a Youth Club, and a fantastic opportunity forour community.
However, the “Youth Club” wouldn’t have to becatered for the younger end of the community. Itwould be a great idea for the other side of thecommunity to take part. There could be an elderlyyouth club where they could go and meet newfriends. The Outing could involve trips to seasideresorts even just on a Sunday meeting and havinga meal with your community. This is only an idea,although I think that it would be great for Ossett tohave a “Youth Centre. It would give peoplesomething new to experience; and hopefully givesomething new to Ossett.
On the nights that you go you would probablyplay pool, board games activities then just hangaround in you own space with your friends. But, asyou can see the younger children will probably bedoing activities such as: painting, baking, playingwith toys, paper mashie making things etc… Theidea is that you can go somewhere to play orhang. It should also be considered to have ahomework club; have an area in which childrencan form a study group. If they can’t concentrate orneed help with the homework, then they can workas a team and do it together. This would beFantastic change for Ossett to have a YouthCentre. This is what Ossett needs!
Does Ossett need a Youth Club?
A Centre where you can meet your friends,
have fun and enjoy yourself,
with different activities to suit your personality.
Youth Club
This is what Ossett needs!☺
Taylor Kent, a student at Ossett School, has explained thetype of youth facility she would like to see in Ossett

What is Baby Yoga?Baby Yoga sessions are fun, relaxing ways to help stimulateand develop babies in a safe and supportive environment.Baby Yoga consists of exercises for both baby and mum, andthese are intertwined with songs and fun activities. Parentslearn how to stimulate their baby’s mental and physicalabilities using gentle movements and rhythm; learn how tosettle colic; get help and techniques to induce sleep; and gainconfidence in handling their baby. Baby yoga, which complements infant massage, offers qualityphysical stimulation including flowing postures, holding,movement, touch, voice and deep relaxation. It induces ahappy, carefree and lively parent-infant interaction, whichdevelops as the baby grows. It encourages pre-verbalcommunication and enhances baby’s physical confidence.The experience of movement combined with touch is probablythe richest stimulation we can offer babies from birth. In yoga,this stimulation occurs through the mutual involvement ofparent and baby, at a pace at which the baby can absorb andintegrate it. As yoga postures induce deep relaxation in adults,so in babies they bring a state of deep contentment andpromote deep sleep. Yoga offers babies a resource that willenable them to deal positively with stress and know how torelax. The handling of the babies is a loving one, in which theconversion of a challenging movement into a safe game, toplay and enjoy, is repeated again and again. This playfulstimulation through yoga-based exercise is a powerful way ofhelping babies relish life, with all its demands, as they grow.
What are the benefits of Baby Yoga?Benefits of Baby Yoga include:• Physical - In one short session, the baby is given as much
physical activity as they would receive if they were handledand carried all day. This activity will help the baby sleepmore deeply. The baby’s behaviour will be more ‘settled’. Itprovides a daily routine of activity through which the parentcan engage constructively with their baby from birth
• Physiological / developmental - All the baby’s bodilysystems are stimulated, including the digestive and nervoussystems.
• Psychological - Baby yoga helps the parent and baby toget to know each other, enhancing communication betweenthem. Yoga helps to heal any birth trauma; the baby will alsobe better equipped to deal with shocks. The baby’senjoyment of the positive stress of yoga will increase thebabies ability to cope with future challenges. Through thehigh quality attention the baby receives from it’s parents, thebaby learns to interact with others and play actively, thedeep relaxation that is part of yoga helps parents cope withthe stresses of early parenting.
How can I find out more about Baby Yoga Classes?Baby Yoga classes are currently being run in the Wakefieldarea at a number of Children’s Centres and Health Centres.Classes usually last for 1 hour per session for a 6 weekcourse, and are suitable for babies from 6 weeks to crawling.A class size of no more than 10 works well. Parents attending recent sessions in Wakefield have benefitedas follows:• Young mums with little experience of motherhood gaining
confidence holding and interacting with their baby• Mums who have struggled to bond with their baby have
found that Baby yoga has helped them in this area• Coping with colic, and helping to ease the babies’ distress• Improved sleep among the babies attending• Social interaction for mums in a baby-centred environment

Do you rememberthose TV showsthat were all about
“instant gardening”? I always thought it tookthe pleasure out of the planning, watching,marvelling and evolving of a garden. Thatslow side of gardening is what is the mostexciting. I love to see the changes markingthe passing of time. I always remember MontyDon writing that in order to feel alive heneeded the soil on his hands and in his nailsand he had to dig daily. I know exactly whathe means. I read about sporting fanaticsneeding their “fix” of exercise, and I realisethat I’m like that with soil and gardening.There’s no excuse to stay away from theallotment (Lottie), even when the weather isnot on your side. I call it “The Lure of theLottie.” The allotment has a kind of hypnoticpull. It’s like a horticultural version of a siren;although only good can come from it. I’vealways been interested in horticulture as
therapy and blow me down with a feather, it’sa real therapy! Look it up on the web, thereare many great sites to inform you of thegoodness of gardening. Being down on theplot is a real antidote to modern living. Life isso busy, hectic, full on, but gardening issomething you can’t speed up. The slowmovement is gaining followers and a return tolife in the slow lane is making a come back.Horrah! As I write it’s actually NationalAllotment week (yes there is one!). This fillsme with great warmth. The importance of theland, taking life at a healthy pace, thegrowing of your own food and knowing thesource are now seen as part of the lifebalance. Pick up your spade and join in therevolution! (slowly).
Question Time(Send your questions to [email protected])
Question from Malcolm: “Dear Lolo, which is thebest green manure to sow at this time of year?
Lolo’s reply: Good question Malcolm: Winter beans,Italian rye grass or grazing rye are good to sow inautumn and dig in the spring. Get green and grazinggrass crazy!
Keep some sun in your soul,
OUT AND ABOUT:• Last chance to plant strawberries for next year.
• Collect your own seeds. Take a look at TheHeritage Seed Library (Garden Organic) for allthe old varieties our recent ancestors grew.
• Cover your cabbage well and keep checking.Them there pesky pigeons must have inventedthe phrase “where there’s a will there’s a way”.
• Lift root veg (beetroot, maincrop carrots &turnips). Store in a dry place.
Lolo x
Welcome again to our series dedicatedto all things green and garden based...Lottie will be sharing her secrets withus, but if you have some tried andtested tips, we’d love to hear from you!
September
In September• We’ve had so much rain and flash flooding that I
don’t feel the need to mention watering!
• Harvest maincrop potatoes on a sunny day; liftdry and store. Also your last onions areharvested. Also keep harvesting late raspberriesand blackberries; fresh beans, autumncauliflowers and Florence Fennel. Leave parsnipsin as the frost makes them sweet.
• Start a new compost heap…go on..you know youwant to. There’re plenty of ingredients at yourfingertips on the plot.
• The digging time begins so that you can improveyour soil. Clay soil needs a good digging beforethe rains make it unworkable.
• Plant garlic. For it to grow well it needs the coldweather.

Perfectly Logical!A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class
that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are
designated as either masculine or feminine.
'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la Casa.'
'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.'
A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?'
Instead of giving the answer, the teacher
split the class into two groups, male and
female, and asked them to decide for
themselves whether 'computer' should be a
masculine or a feminine noun.
Each group was asked to give four reasons
for its recommendation.
The men's group decided that 'computer'
should definitely be of the feminine gender
('la computadora'), because:
1. No one but their creator understands their
internal logic;
2. The native language they use to
communicate with other computers is
incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in
long term memory for possible later
retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to
one, you find yourself spending half your
salary on accessories for it.
The women's group, however, concluded
that computers should be Masculine ('el
computador'), because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you
have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data, but still can't
think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve
problems, but half the time they ARE the
problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you
realize that if you had waited a little
longer, you could have got a better model.
The women won!
