Well, summer is finally here and the country’s thoughts are turning towards the Summer Olympics.

We are lucky to be in such close proximity to

one of the 2012 Olympic Venues with

Hadleigh farm playing host to the Mountain

Biking events on the 11th and 12th August.

The venue is expecting over 20,000 visitors

over the 2 days! Our Olympic article on page 6

looks at the history of some of the symbols

associated with the Olympic Games.

If you have a business based in the local area

or serving local residents, Your Canvey and

Your Benfleet & Hadleigh magazines both

offer an affordable and effective way to

advertise. We have been publishing our quality

magazines for 5 years in July so we are here to

stay! We find that many local residents keep

hold of their magazine and use it as a useful

reference guide to the area. To keep our

advertising costs as low as possible, we deliver

to half of the area one month and the other half

the next. We can also include your own leaflets

with our magazines if you prefer.

The Olympic Games

Excitement is really beginning to build now in the run up to the 2012 Olympics. The Summer Olympic Games will be held in London from 27th July to 12th August 29th August to 9th September. There are many symbols of the games and here is a brief look at their origins.

The Rings

The Olympic Rings are five interlocking rings

that stand for the five continents - Africa,

America, Asia, Australia and Europe and the

athletes from around the world. The colours of

the rings are blue, yellow, black, green, and

red respectively. They were chosen because at

least one of these colours is found on the flag

of every nation.

The symbol was originally designed in 1912

by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of

the modern Olympic Games and was first used

at the 1920 Antwerp Olympics.

The Flag

On the Olympic flag, the rings appear on a

white background. At the Olympic Games, the

flag is brought into the stadium during the

opening ceremony. After its arrival, the flag is

hoisted up the flagpole and it must fly in the

stadium during the whole of the Games. When

the flag is lowered at the closing ceremony, it

signals the end of the Games.

Motto

The motto of the Olympic Games is “Swifter,

Higher, Stronger.” These three words

encourage the athlete to give his or her best

during competition and to view this effort as a

victory in itself. In other words, the most

important thing is not to win but to take part!

The Flame

The Olympic flame is one of the best-known

features of the Games. From the moment the

flame is lit to the moment it goes out, a very

precise ritual is laid down :

The lighting: In memory of the Olympic

Games’ origins, the flame is lit in Olympia,

Greece, some months before the opening of

the Games.

The relay route: The torch is carried by relay

from Olympia to the host city of the Games.

Arrival at the stadium: The day of the

opening of the Games, the flame enters the

stadium. With the lighting of the cauldron by

the last relay runner the flame is transferred

from the torch to the place where it will

continue to burn for the entire length of the

Games. The flame is extinguished on the final

day of the Games at the closing ceremony.

Mascots

Since the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble,

France, the Olympic Games have had a

mascot, usually an animal native to the area

or occasionally human figures representing

the cultural heritage. The first major mascot

in the Olympic Games was in the 1980

Summer Olympics in Moscow. Nowadays,

most of the merchandise aimed at young

people focuses on the mascots, rather than the

Olympic flag or organization logos.

Local History

Daws Heath was named after Philip Dawe who held land there in the late 13th century. This was a patch of heath and scrub entirely encircled by woods.

During the mid-late 19th century, Daws

Heath, a remote and forbidding place was

the haunt of smugglers and thieves. It’s

proximity to Hadleigh, the fishing port of

Leigh-on-Sea and the creek between

mainland Canvey Island offered a good

landing spot for smugglers who would

recover their contraband at the foot of the

hill below Hadleigh Castle, take the goods

up Castle Lane and through Hadleigh

Village and beyond to the wild wastes of

Daws Heath.

Centuries before this, a thriving woodland

industry had been in action. We know today

of woods such as Pound Wood. The wood

charcoal produced was noted for it’s quality

and was used in the manufacture of

gunpowder. Great cartloads would have been

conveyed by horse-drawn carriage to

London and there is evidence that this usage

of woodland resource dates from the Tudor

period.

Church life in Daws Heath

originated with The Peculiar

People movement. It was founded

in 1837-8 by James Banyard from

Rochford. He was a drunkard who

converted to religion as a

Wesleyan and went on to found

the movement. The Peculiar

People - a sect - was principally

confined to membership in Essex

and with Daws Heath found to be

of “evil repute” as mentioned

earlier, the missionary zeal and

industry of these people transformed it into

one of the most prosperous agricultural

communities in the county.

Several suicides occurred in Daws Heath and

these sorry individuals and vagrants, without

religion or family, were not allowed to

receive a Christian burial. It is said that

several such people are buried in the triangle

in the road outside St Michael’s Church with

another such site being at the junction of

Daws Heath Road and Western Road. This

folklore has been supported by local

residents over many years who have also

reported several ghostly sightings.

The road called Sherry Way was once a

slaughter house for pigs and at one time,

residents dug up bones and mistakenly

thought they were human.

had short pieces published in places such as

local papers and national magazines. She

reads for the Rayleigh & Rochford Talking

Newspaper and has written a humorous

monthly column for them for the past ten

years. Lorraine met Gill McKinlay from

Shoebury at a writing group in Southend a

few years ago. Gill has had over 75 short

stories published in a variety of national

magazines such as Take a Break and Fiction

Feast both in the UK and Australia. Both

authors are proud and excited to be a part of

this revolutionary new website.

To read Gill and Lorraine’s contributions to

Two local authors, Gill Mckinlay and Lorraine Coverley have been selected to contribute to a new short story website.

Revolutionising the publication of short

stories for the internet age, publisher Alfie

Dog Limited has, through its internet site

www.alfiedog.com, brought together quality

stories from current writers across the globe.

Unlike other sites offering short stories

www.alfiedog.com carries three different

formats of every story so that readers can use

whichever e-reader they have, or print the

story out to be read in the traditional fashion.

With new stories being added every week,

the publishers hope that once a reader is

‘hooked’ they will be happy to come back

for more, knowing they can find a reliable,

good quality read.

The site carries a wide range of stories and

Managing Director of the site, Rosemary

Kind, hopes that it will appeal to readers

with a variety of tastes. Even parents looking

for a new bedtime story to read to young

children can find something suitable.

Natural help for Migraine and Headaches

Summer’s here at last! I hope you’re well and enjoying life and it’s still sunny when you read this after a very long winter.

Recently I’ve had a lot of clients suffering

from migraine and headaches looking for

help. Last year I was asked to speak at a

migraine conference. I was there to

demonstrate Bowen Technique and

Reflexology and how they can be of help to

migraine sufferers. Excitingly research

projects on both Bowen and reflexology

found in just a few treatments, migraines

could be reduced or sometimes even

eliminated, something I’ve seen in my own

practice.

Migraine affects one in ten of us at some

time and the people at the conference told

me of migraines that lasted 72 hours and

were so painful that they couldn’t even sleep

during that time. Sometimes they seem to

be triggered by something in your

environment such as lighting, the

atmosphere before a thunderstorm, even a

particular odour. Other times there seems to

be no obvious cause at all. A tension

headache or bad neck, lack of sleep or not

eating regularly is factors that can affect a

migraine if you’re susceptible.

Sufferers feel the need to rest and there are some

excellent medications available but sufferers can

become quite dependent over time and too much

medication makes the condition worse so you

may need professional help to get the balance

right.

What can help your migraine?

The consultant experts at the conference said

that codeine and paracetamol are not helpful for

migraine but if it suits you, aspirin and an over-

the-counter anti-sickness tablet is effective, if

taken very early when symptoms first show. Do

consult with your doctor or pharmacist before

trying new medications and you could also ask

your GP to refer to an expert headache clinic or

migraine specialist.

I’ve seen Emotional Freedom Technique help

someone who was actually in the throws of a

migraine to get full relief in 5 minutes. This

involves a sequence of tapping acupuncture

points, simple and painless and you can do it

yourself when symptoms come on. Acupuncture

is also helpful and is recommended by the NHS

for migraine. Homeopathy can be helpful too.

All these therapies help your body get back in

the best possible state of balance when life’s

stresses, injuries and the environment we live in

throw us off balance.

QR Codes - Hints & Tips You might have seen codes like this popping up everywhere with no explanation to the uninitiated as to what we are supposed to do with them!

So far this week, I have seen them in

advertising leaflets delivered through the

door, in the Evening Standard newspaper

and on an advertisement hung up in the local

shopping centre. So what are they?

QR Code is an abbreviation for “Quick

Response Code” and is the trademark for a

type of matrix barcode first designed for the

automotive industry. The code consists of

black modules (square dots) arranged in a

square pattern on a white background. The

information encoded can be a web site URL,

telephone number or business card

information.

To read the information in the QR Code, you

need to download and install a special

program called a “QR Code Reader” onto

your laptop (which also needs a web camera)

or an app onto your mobile phone. When

you run the program/app, you simply point

the camera at the QR Code, position the

image within an onscreen grid and it will

automatically guide you to the website URL.

Download a Laptop “QR Code Reader”

You will need to do a Google Search for a

QR Code reader - download it and then

install the program onto your laptop. Look

for the “Quickmark QR Reader” which is

free for personal use and can be used to read

QR codes or generate one for your own website

URL for advertising purposes.

Download a QR Code Reader for your iPhone, iPad or Android Phone

Do a Google Search on your phone or iPad for

“QR Code Reader App” and download the one

from Warrior (this one worked for me.) To use,

you simply run the App and point the camera at

the QR Code and

poition it inside the

on-screen grid - the

App will probably

“Beep” and then

load the relevant

website.

Try it out on the

codes on this page!
