Jason Moorhouse, MHK Arbory, Castletown and Malew Response via email Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to share my concerns about the BBC threat to end the free television licences for people over 75 and over on the Island. As a Member for the House of Keys many of my Constituents are genuinely apprehensions about the proposed changes. I also have serious concerns about how the consultation is being managed and fundamental flaws in the process. It was expected that the group most affected by the proposed changes would be engaged with and encouraged to contribute. With the exception of an e-mail and a mention on Manx Radio this morning I have heard or seen nothing. Have those people who currently receive a free TV Licence been written to and asked to contribute to this process? The individuals currently benefitting from this support often have a television for company. Their television provides valuable interaction with the outside world. An elderly lady recently smiled at me and stated, ‘My television is all I have’ those words really must be considered. The Isle of Man people contribute a vast sum annually to the BBC and in some ways the return of £850 000 to improve the lives of our elderly helps justify this. There have been some noteworthy improvements in recent years such as on Island news team, but this in no way will compensate for the potential loss faced by some of our oldest and most vulnerable people. Jason Moorhouse, MHK Arbory, Castletown and Malew .

THE BARROVIAN KING WILLIAM'S COLLEGE MAGAZINE Published three times yearly NUMBER 232 . JULY I 9 $ J A Career for young men that carries responsibility Britain's need for coal increases every year. Oil and nuclear energy can only bridge the gap between the coal we have and the power we need. The bulk of this energy must, for many generations, come from coal. To meet the increasing demands for coal, vast schemes of recon- struction and expansion are being undertaken by the coal-mining industry, for which there must be an adequate supply of suitably qualified and well-trained men. University Scholarships.—The National Coal Board offer a hundred University Scholarships a year ; most are in Mining Engineering, and some are available in -Mechanical, Electrical and Chemical Engineering and in Fuel Technology. They are worth about the same as State Scholarships but there is no parental means test. School Leavers.—There are also good opportunities for advance- ment for boys with initiative who come straight into the industry from school. You can attend part-time courses (for example. National Certificate courses) at technical colleges for which you are given day release from work with pay. Management Training.—When you are qualified—either through the University or through technical college while working—you are eligible for a two or three-year course under the Board's Management Training Scheme. Each trainee has a course mapped out for him personally, with a senior engineer to give him individual supervision. Scientific Careers.—If you are interested in a Scientific Career, there is absorbing and rewarding work at the Board's Research establishments, in the coalfields on operational work.

Dear Parishioner, Arbory and Rushen Parish Commissioners are writing to announce some administrative changes which will lead to an improved service, as well as to ask for your views on some exciting proposals to improve the efficiency of service provision in both Parishes. In the next few months the two Parishes will be recruiting a Deputy Clerk, with the Clerk then reducing his hours accordingly.

If you’re interested in the new Deputy Clerk’s role (see brief description attached), please contact the Clerk for more information using the contact details above. Arbory and Rushen always focus on delivering best possible value for the money you provide and due to the changes above, the Commissioners have been looking to see what greater efficiencies from closer working between the two Parishes can be achieved. The Commissioners are keen to hear your views on the following options and would welcome your feed-back either through the Clerk using the contact details above, or through attendance at following public meetings – Ballafesson Methodist Hall, 7.30 on 11th September, or Arbory Parish Hall, 7.30 on 12th September.
