Use it or lose it’ — Holsworthy bus shuttle service to begin

The service, operated by Holsworthy Rural Community Transport, will start on Monday, March 13, providing a town shuttle offering an hourly service throughout the day from 8.45am through until 4.43pm, Monday to Friday.

The route will be a figure of eight centred on the library and church bus stops. There will be around 25 stops — including the medical centre — to the circuit and the fare will be £1/single journey, children 50p with under 5s free.

In broad terms the service will cover from Staddon Road to the Cattle Market and out to Rydon.

Martin Prentice, chairman of Holsworthy Rural Community Transport (HRCT) made a successful bid to the Department of Transport’s Community Bus Fund last year and managed to get two buses costing £50,000 each, one to replace the ageing ‘Ring & Ride’ bus and the other to set up this Holsworthy Town Shuttle.The cost of the service will be about £30,000/annum and so the bus will run for a trial period to establish what sort of usage it gets but if it cannot break even it will have to be terminated. So the message is — ‘use it or lose it’.

Timetables can be collected from the HRCT office in the Square or from the library and there will be a leaflet drop, including a timetable, to every house in Holsworthy the week before the service begins.

Mr Prentice said: “This venture is reversing the trend in the transport area where usually services are being withdrawn and so it is refreshing to have something new which will benefit everyone in the area.

“The town needs to get behind this worthwhile service and by using it make sure that it remains for years to come.”

Eleanor Doe-TAI CHI SHIBASHI TEACHER INTERIEW.

Good morning Mark

Well , my first introduction to tai chi was brought about because a friend of mine was mugged and badly beaten when I worked and lived in London. I went to Master Li who gave classes in Bermondsey on martial art. I learned as a form of self defence.

Later I took more interest in the greater role of tai chi as a life style including health well being nutrition etc.

Having visited China several times and studied more I was asked to join tai chi for health as an instructor and as my aims were similar to that of the charity, namely to bring taichi to more people especially those in provincial towns and villages, I agreed.

I have studied tai chi for over 40 years and hope to pass on what I have learned and am still learning to as many people as possible.

Hope this helps .

Rare mare map revealing Germany's WWII bombing targets is discovered after 75 years in an attic

An extremely rare map of Hitler's bombing targets during the Second World War has been unearthed after more than 75 years.

It belonged to a Luftwaffe navigator and highlights important buildings and infrastructure in central and south London, including Battersea Power Station and Chelsea Barracks.

Other notable German targets were the Duke of York's headquarters and Fulham Palace, the home of the Bishop of London.

The map, which focuses on Kensington, Wimbledon and Fulham, reveals how bombing targets appeared to follow the route of the river, using it as guidance for navigators.

It is dated from November 30, 1941, 14 months after the Germans began their Blitz bombing campaign on British cities.

The map was found in the loft of a late Second World War air gunner and is believed to have come from the debris of a shot-down Luftwaffe.

Scientists discover first-ever bee 'soldier'

The discovery was made by a team of scientists from the University of Sussex and the University of Sao Paulo including Professor Francis Ratnieks and Dr Christoph Grueter, from the University of Sussex Laboratory of Apiculture and Social Insects.

The team studied a common tropical stingless bee Tetragonisca angustula in Sao Paulo State in Brazil where it is known locally as Jataí. It nests in tree and wall cavities. Each nest has one queen and up to 10,000 workers.

Insect societies such as the Jataí’s are defined by cooperative and altruistic behaviour, with the workers caring for the nest and the queen’s offspring. This lifestyle also includes the division of labour among workers.
