The Bentham News March 2016 48 Could You Be A Responder? By Sue Halsall Yorkshire Ambulance Service operates a Community First Responder (CFR) scheme where volunteers are trained to use life-saving skills in their local area. In many medical emergencies the first few minutes are critical and if effective treat- ment can be provided at this time, lives can be saved and disability reduced. This is especially true for heart attacks and medical conditions that have caused someone to lose consciousness and CFRs may arrive before an ambulance, especially if the nearest ambulance is already attending an emergency. The CFRs are trained in basic life support (BLS) skills in- cluding cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), defibrilla- tion and oxygen therapy and are equipped with an auto- mated external defibrillator (AED) oxygen and a first aid kit. This shows the AED closed and then opened ready for use. CFRs receive regular training sessions usually in Bentham Fire Station or in Burton Vil- lage Hall and must requalify every 6 months in order to stay in the scheme. Once quali- fied, we organise a rota for going on duty and most of us go on duty 4 or 5 times a month for about 10 hours at a time, though this depends entirely upon how much time we can spare. Sometimes things crop up or dogs need to be walked and so we do what we can but call outs are not that frequent. The YAS mobile phone is used so you can get on with jobs in the house or garden with the phone in your pocket. If you would like to join us then we would be delighted to welcome you to our team – Ben- tham needs you! Learning CPR and how to use the AED is a very useful skill so if you would like more infor- mation, please visit the website http://www.communityresponders. yas.nhs.uk or contact me on Ben- tham 62083. This is the kit bag showing the oxygen cylinder, various breathing masks, bandages and other equipment. 2 47 Notice about ads@ Your Advert In Colour From just £20, why not make your advert stand out?

It was great to see scores of people both young and old down at the station, on the bridges and in the adjacent fields, on Thursday, 4th February, all wanting to catch a glimpse of the world famous Flying Scotsman steaming along the Bentham Line. The newly re- stored locomotive made not just one but three appearances that day. Bedecked in an unusual matt black livery, the Flying Scotsman was out on its light and loaded test runs, (part of a steam locomotive’s MOT), prior to hauling a steam special the following weekend. 46 3 Some words or change for ????? Local residents mingled with serious rail photographers, workers from Angus Fire, pu- pils and staff from the primary school and fam- ilies with young children, to watch the locomo- tive working hard on the inclines into and out of Bentham. The Flying Scotsman did not dis- appoint with her performance. For some it brought back memories of a bygone era in rail travel or a previous encounter with the locomo- tive, whilst for others it was their first sight of a steam locomotive in action. Work has begun at the station to install the latest style of information kiosk near the shelters on TO LET both platforms. This is a £15,000+ investment by Northern Rail which will further enhance the Double Fronted Shop facilities at the station and complement the work of the Friends. The kiosks will provide ‘live’ train on Main Street, running information and a Twitter feed, along with local information and details of promotions.

However, Terry had to make the difficult decision to close the shop on 24 May, despite last-minute efforts initiated by a villager to rally support. We wish Terry well for the future and for his other business interests. As a newly-formed voluntary group we are not in a position to immediately step in and take on the shop, but we will be continuing with the feasibility study, once we have reviewed what we now need to do and the timetable for doing it. An immediate task is to liaise with the Post Office about the possibility of a temporary ‘outreach facility’ being set up in the village. The Steering Group comprises Nick Burton, John Dawson, Diane Elphinstone, James Innerdale, Wendy Jennings, Eddie Leggett, Sue Mann, Esther Pugh, Denise Wilson and me.
