In early December I became aware of what seemed to be a fair amount of discussion of weather forecasts: “Yes, we are going to have a white Christmas. And not just a little snow, but lots of it.” Well that was just before it started raining, and the floods began to rise. Yet things hadn’t stopped, for already the signs of Spring are beginning to show in our villages.
The weather has caused so much disruption to our neatly planned lives. Many of you will have been delayed in your journey to work by water flowing across the roads, or felt it best to stay indoors. Some had had to face the distress of flooded homes. Our modern society seems to take it for granted that our lives will run smoothly –yet, in reality, life is rarely that easy, and when something out of the ordinary happens we often struggle to cope.
Even joyful events can turn our lives upside down. Three years ago, and just a month before Christmas, my sister gave birth to her second child. Everything went essentially “to plan” (as far as can be expected of such a natural process), but I’m all too aware that it might not have happened the way it did: childbirth remains one of the most dangerous events for mother and baby, as some of you will be painfully aware.
I’m sure that from the earliest times people have tried to identify ways of living that might guarantee a happy or successful life and to understand the mystery of, apparently random, life- changing events –even that great scientist Albert Einstein, unhappy with some random elements of life, was quoted as saying “God does not play dice”.
The biblical book Ecclesiastes (written in perhaps the 4th-3rd century B.C.) has a message for us today: life is not about pursuing the rewards promised by the path of conventional wisdom but about living simply and in the present. True wisdom means carpe diem, “seize the day” – don’t miss it, don’t let life slip byunnoticed. Instead, live life to the full –for all of us life is short. As the author says: “Go, eat your bread with enjoyment, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has long ago approved what you do ... Whatever your hand finds to do, do with your might . . .” (Ecclesiastes 9.7, 10a)

FEBRUARY
Chilmark Clergy Notes
Our Family Communion service this month, on Sunday, 16th February, will have the theme of “Living with Jesus”. Do come and join us for this informal communion service. On the preceding Sunday, 9th February, you will see that there isn’t a lay-led Matins service in Chilmark, but that we are having a group service of Sung Evensong at 6.00 p.m. at St. Editha’s, Baverstock. I hope that this will be of particular interest to those who love Evensong, as so may do, but don’t have the opportunity to share in this service regularly. Felicity Pattenden will be leading the Chilmark-Hindon choir who will be performing an anthem and leading the singing of the familiar canticles and responses with the congregation, and there will be singers from Baverstock as well. All are most welcome, from any of the parishes. Do bring a torch, as there is no street lighting in Baverstock, and I suggest car-sharing to help with parking. Evensong is often regarded as a treasure of Anglican worship, so do come and share this very special service. Thinking about the two services I’ve mentioned this month demonstrates the variety of worship in an Anglican parish church, where we seek to meet the needs of people who find they can come close to God in different ways. It’s important that we try to offer these different ways in our monthly service pattern, and that can be quite a challenge at times. As a PCC were are thinking about our worship pattern to add more variety and I will be writing more about that in future months. It just reminds us that we are all different and that God treasures us as unique individuals called into a personal relationship with him. Jane
Parish Notices Second Sunday. 9th February No Morning Service at Chilmark. 6.00pm Sung Evensong at Baverstock with the choir. Take a torch.
Chilmark Parochial Parish Council (PCC) Annual Giving 2013 The PCC made the following donations in its annual programme of giving for the year: The Children’s Society L 56 (Collection at Christingle) World Vision L 273.60 (Awoke,Ethiopian Boy @L22-80 a month) Friends of Salisbury Cathedral L 10 Sudan General Funds L 350 Sudan Medical Fund L 350 L 350 Philippines Disaster L 350 Chilmark School PCC Fund L 75 _____ PCC Total L 1464.60 4 Chilmark's carol singers: Saturday 20th December
It was dry when we set out. Twelve hardy carollers set off into The Street's darkness, clutching their trusty books of music. The wind soon began to get up, however, and slowly the rain began - lightly at first, then annoyingly persistently and then the downpour happened. One kind person had to hang on to her front door as the wind tried to whip it off its hinges. As she held on, she was confronted with a medley of utterly bedraggled and drenched people, trying to raise their voices above wind and rain to render 'In the bleak mid-winter...' By this time the ink was running on the page and the pages were sticking together, so sadly we had to call it a day afteronly an hour. (Special thanks to Cross Farm for providing us with most welcome hot resuscitative beverages en route.) Apologies if we didn't manage it to your door this year. But the good news was the generosity of donations for the Salisbury Trust for the Homeless. A record total of L168.60 (plus L 7.50 Gift Aid) was raised! The chairman has written to thank the people of Chilmark and said that all of the money will be used to help the homeless in the Salisbury area. The Trust provides accommodation and support for 32 single people who are on the streets (often as the result of breakdowns in relationships/families) and helps them develop life skills, regain self-esteem and find employment, education or training opportunities to enable them to return to independent living, so is an excellent cause.
That Saturday night we all returned to our warm, comfortable homes; how lucky we are.

CHILMARK PARISH COUNCIL
Flooding Incidents
At the Parish Council meeting held on 8 January 2014, grateful thanks were recorded to Mr Neil Pattenden and Mr Rob Snook for their invaluable assistance during the recent period of wet weather which resulted in some local flooding. The work which the riparian owners had carried out earlier in the year was also much appreciated as this prevented the situation from becoming worse. The flow of the Winterbourne continued unimpeded and the bridges were not breached. The Chairman of the Parish Council was also thanked for his intervention and support to parishioners who were affected. The Parish Council purchased a supply of aqua bags but residents whose homes are susceptible to flooding are advised to obtain their own supply in readiness for such an occasion.
The next Parish Council Meeting will be held on Wednesday 12 March 2014 at 7pm in the Reading Room. 8

SARUM Concern for Israel/Palestine is the subject of the next talk to church group the Nadder Valley Women Who Lunch. Pat Clegg, an Anglican priest living in Salisbury, will speak about the organisation at the group’s meeting at the Wyndham Arms in Dinton on 12th February. She first visited the Holy Land just before being ordained Deacon in 1999 and describes herself as having “fallen in love with a people and a land”. “Certainly nothing was as I expected,” she said, “and this lead to a desire to return. “I have recently returned from my 13th visit.”Pat Clegg is a founder member of Sarum Concern for Israel/ Palestine, an organisation which tries to educate, understand and listen in this difficult and complex situation. Donations can be made at the lunch for Medical Aid for Palestine, whose work in the Gaza, Pat says, is quite literally life-saving. Anyone interested in attending the lunch should contact Sue Evans on 01747 840600 or email [email protected].

Hindon Surgery News
Hindon Surgery –Alcohol Awareness
Many of the illnesses we treat every day are related to life style – smoking, exercise, diet, sun exposure and alcohol. As we have written in previous articles by not smoking, being of ideal weight, having a healthy diet and drinking in moderation will on average add 15 years to life. With the increasing retirement age that represents the average duration of life after retirement.
As a practice we have concentrated on the most important of these risk factors –smoking. We will be doing more but already the smoking rate in adults registered with us is around 13% whilst in Wiltshire it is 20%. We continue working with the Council and NHS in Wiltshire to provide vouchers for free courses to reduce weight or subsidised exercise programmes.
One area where we have done less has been to reduce harm from excessive alcohol consumption. This is a significant cause of hospital admission, cost to the NHS and problems for the patient and their family and friends. Wiltshire has above average numbers of the population with alcohol problems although in Hindon for hospital admissions we are well below the Wiltshire level.
As with all problems prevention is the best approach and the first step is to raise awareness of the possible harmful effects of alcohol. In general we all tend to under estimate how much we drink and also not realise the harm that can be caused by consumption levels we feel are OK. As little as having a glass or two of wine most daysa week could be enough to cause harm.
We have been raising alcohol awareness for some time for new patients registering with the surgery or those who attend NHS health checks by giving out a standard questionnaire. We are now working with Public Health at Wiltshire Council to extend this to more patients as part of their routine check-up for a number of long term conditions including high blood pressure (where 10 – 20% of patients will have excessive alcohol consumption as the cause), heart disease and diabetes. Your doctor or nurse will give you an explanatory letter, an information leaflet about alcohol and a scratch card. This asks how often you have an alcoholic drink, how much you usually drink on a typical day and how often you drink more than six units of alcohol on one occasion (that’s just over half a bottle of wine, three doubles of spirits or two points of strong beer / lager). You will be asked to return the completed card.
Anonymous data will be returned to Public Health so they can plan services to support their population live more healthily. We can also offer support and advice to any patient who feels they may be drinking too much and wants to drink less. 12 TISBURY SURGERY
This is the first in what we envisage to be an occasional article just to let our patients know some of what is going on at Tisbury Surgery. We have an active patient participation group who also hope this article may reach a wider audience than our newsletter, (which we issue 3 times a year), website (www.tisburysurgery.nhs.uk), practice leaflet, etc.
Leaflets are also available at the surgery giving advice on such varied items as immunisations, information for carers, local support groups and much more. Contact details for the members of our patient participation group are also given on our website and they would all be happy to be contacted on general surgery matters relating to the surgery –although nothing clinical! We are also trying to improve the help we offer to carers –Mrs. Sharon McGookin on reception will be pleased to give you more details.
Staff:
Tisbury Surgery is a training practice and both Dr. John Dalton and Dr. Laurence Carter are qualified trainers. We were very pleased to welcome Dr. Robin Latham in August 2013. He is a fully qualified doctor and will be with us for a year after which he should become a fully fledged G.P. His trainer is Dr. Dalton. When he leaves, we will be joined by Dr. Natalie Ashman, for whom Dr. Carter will be the trainer. We were delighted that Dr. Alexandra Jones also joined us in September. She works for us all day on Tuesdays and on Thursday mornings and is a permanent member of staff. She is also a qualified G.P. tutor and helps train G.P.s in Dorset. Other doctors who work at Tisbury regularly on a locum basis are Dr. Nicky Wray (who trained with us), Dr. Emma Naylor, Dr. Bill Price and Dr. Martin Essigman.
Medical Updates
We were pleased that there was such a good uptake when we offered the flu vaccination at our various clinics. Some patients also had the vaccine against pneumonia and shingles (although the shingle vaccine was restricted by Department of Health criteria and could only be offered this year to 70 and 79 year olds).Our asthma clinic, run by our specialist asthma nurse, Mrs. Liz Wiltshire, runs each month. We also have weekly child immunisation clinics –and would encourage all parents whose children have not received the MMR vaccine to do so. Measles is a serious disease and can lead to such complications as ear and chest infections, fits, diarrhoea, brain damage –and it can kill. If your child has not been fully immunised (2 doses) we would urge you to talk to a practice nurse about getting their immunisations up to date as soon as possible –especially as there has been considerable publicity lately about the prevalence of the disease in Wiltshire.
New Surgery Computer System
Last –but by no means least –we now have an updated computer system!We have undertaken rigorous data checking and are confident that all information on our old system has been transferred ‘seamlessly’ to the new one. That, of course, doesn’t mean that we are necessarily as speedy as usual when using it! Thus please bear with all the doctors, nurses and receptionists while we do our best to master the new technology!
