Dear Friends,
Grace… Yes, grace. “What’s that?” some may ask. “You mean the prayer offered before a meal?” Not particularly, although it is related. Grace. There doesn’t seem to be much of it about sometimes. So, what is it then? Well, essentially, grace is about treating people positively – in a way that they really don’t deserve. It’s about kindness lavished in the face of unpleasantness, goodness practised in return for evil and hostility. It’s about persistence when there’s ingratitude, and genuine respect for those with whom we disagree.
There didn’t seem to be much of it on display during the recent refer-
endum campaign, with both sides trading sometimes wild political in-sults! Yet grace is at the heart of what Jesus did, said and taught, and it’s at the core of the Christian message.
Grace is God not only withholding from us what our sins deserve, but
going further, and freely crediting the righteousness of Jesus to us. De-spite our failings, flaws, inadequacy, inconsistency and clear inability to live up to His standards, God accepts us and offers us new life and a re-stored relationship with Him. How can He do that without undermining His own holy perfection and character? Because in Jesus, God Himself took the blame for all our wrongdoing. For us, then, nothing now remains but to believe and be thankful. We can’t earn or deserve grace, otherwise it simply wouldn’t be grace! As the Apostle Paul wrote to Christians in first-century Ephesus, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
What needs to happen now is that we develop more and more grace in
our words, our attitudes and our actions. The grace we receive is not meant to be kept for our own private enjoyment, but is to be shared - a restored vertical relationship with God translating into changed behaviour horizontally with those around us. And not just with those we like, agree with or share interests with, but with those who may treat us with disre-spect or hostility. Imagine the difference there could be in our families, workplaces, communities… and churches… if we all practised more grace?
Grace has always been life-changing. It still is: “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become

Fippenny News
As many of you may have heard, I am retiring as Editor in the Autumn. I have really enjoyed being Editor. I took over when my husband died
7 years ago and had been very much involved during his editorship. In all about 13 years, but I now feel that this is the time for me to hand over the reins to some one younger.
So, we are looking for someone to take over. It needs to be some one
who is computer literate, preferably in Microsoft Publisher, or if you are an Apple person, with their desktop publishing programme.
If you are interested please contact Lydia or myself for a chat. It is a
very worthwhile job. Jane Tapping
A 102 year-old lady was asked if she had any worries about the future, and replied: “Not since I got my eldest son into an old people’s home.’

Okeford Fitzpaine Village Hall
I'm afraid the TOPS rally at Shillingstone was rained off early on the Sunday so we didn't make as much money as we'd hoped but £119 is bet-ter than nothing.
As you will all know rain was also involved at the street party but
again thanks to your generosity Anthea and I made £122 for Hall funds with the tombola and ice cream.
The Fippenny Fayre also had more than its fair share of rain on Sunday
19th so an especially BIG vote of thanks must go to all those volunteers who helped us with setting up and packing away afterwards.
Thanks to everyone who donated raffle prizes, cakes, plants and vari-
ous other items and thanks to all those people who came to support us and helped to make a profit of £1,159.49 for the Hall.
Probably also due to the weather there weren't as many bike riders do-
ing the Rotary Ride this year but they wish to thank all those who did take part. However £450 was made towards the prostate cancer charity.
Future fund raising:- Jumble Sale in the Hall Saturday 24th September 2pm. Christmas Market in the Hall Sunday 20th November 11am – 4pm, to book tables please contact me, details below.

From the Olde Bell Stores and Post Office
We are currently in the process of renovating Ye Olde Bell Stores with a view to opening mid to end of July. We will be using Spar as our wholesaler but we are determined to keep it a traditional village shop. We will stock a variety of everyday essential items and branded goods at rea-sonable prices, locally produced produce, reasonably priced beers, wines and spirits, newspapers and fresh bread served daily. At weekends there will be fresh cakes, croissants, pain au chocolate etc to go with your weekend papers. The Post Office has been applied for but to date we are yet to have a specific date for opening, although we hope this will follow very shortly after the opening of the shop. We look forward to meeting you all and hope that you will give us feedback on any produce that is not stocked in order for us to try to ac-commodate your needs. Without feedback it is difficult for us to evolve and improve our service. We are looking forward to becoming part of the community getting to know many of you. Hopefully see you soon Kind regards Vince, Sharne and family
Welcome to the village, I am sure that everyone is delighted and we wish you all the very best. Here’s hoping that your business goes from strength to strength..

‘Legal highs’ are now illegal
A blanket ban on the sale of New Psychoactive Substances came into force on 26 May 2016, outlawing the trade in so-called ‘legal highs’.
Also known as New Psychoactive Substances they are capable of af-fecting a person’s mental or emotional state mimicking the effects of drugs such as cocaine and ecstasy, but are structurally different enough to avoid being classed as class A, B, or C drugs.
One type are designed to make people feel overconfident and disinhib-
ited but can induce feelings of anxiety, panic, confusion, paranoia, and even cause psychosis, which can lead to takers putting their own safety at risk. They can put a strain on the heart, nervous and immune systems. People may feel quite low for a while after they’ve stopped using them.
Another type are designed to be more sedative reducing inhibitions and
concentration but they slow down reactions and make people feel lethar-gic, forgetful or physically unsteady, placing them at risk of accidents. They can cause unconsciousness, coma and death, particularly when mixed with alcohol and/or other ‘downer’ drugs. Some people feel very anxious when they stop taking them and may need medical attention.
The last type are hallucinogenic but can cause confusion and panics
making people behave erratically and putting their own safety at serious risk or self-harm. Feelings of mind and body separation can occur, inter-fering with judgement, putting people at risk of harm from acting care-lessly or dangerously, particularly in unsafe environments.
What concerns experts too is that there has been little or no useful re-
search into the short or long-term risks from human consumption. Psy-choactive substances have widely different strengths and effects on differ-ent people. You can become addicted too.
The new law makes it illegal to supply any so-called “legal highs” for
human consumption. This includes selling them or giving them away for free (even to friends) when they are going to be taken for their psychoac-tive effects. Importing them from abroad will also be a crime.
Police, working in partnership with Trading Standards will take action where they find people supplying them. Punishments range from a prohi-bition notice, which acts as a formal warning, to 7 years in prison.
11
If you have information about the sale of New Psychoactive Substanc-es or 'legal highs' please report it to Trading Standards via the Citizens Advice consumer helpline on 03454 040506.

Learning Opportunities at Our School
As you know, our school is at the heart of our village community and we welcome opportunities to extend our links here and in the wider local area too.
We have received many positive comments about the beautiful Lowry
inspired paintings which were recently exhibited at The Exchange. Thank you. We have also displayed a more contemporary style of art at Shaftes-bury School which linked with this year’s Royal Mail anniversary. We are fortunate to have an artist within the Shaftesbury Academy Trust.
Within our pyramid of schools, our younger pupils have attended a
Rounders Tournament and our pupils in Years 4 and 5 have enjoyed climbing, media and cooking activities at Sturminster Newton High School.
Meanwhile, we are delighted that the Village Community Group have
joined with the PFA (Parent, Friends Association) to hold a spectacular Summer Fayre and Treasure Hunt on the Friday 15th July. Do come and join in the fun from 3:15pm. You will be very welcome.

TRACKING YOUR DIGITAL FOOTPRINT
Some 25 years ago I listened to a talk by Dr Solomons, the leading figure at that time in anti-virus protection. What he had to say had his audience of engi-neering students totally enthralled and he was kept answering questions until well after it was time to go for lunch!
His words have certainly affected the way that I treat the internet to this day - with extreme caution! For example I have two computers, the one which is nev-er connected to the internet has my databases and everything that would be diffi-cult to replace. It is rather worrying that it has taken all these years for the Gov-ernment to treat the internet with similar respect.
The Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) has recently (2015) issued a booklet entitled 'Tracking my Digital Footprint - A guide to Dig-ital footprint discovery and management'. The opening paragraph sums it up ad-mirably:
"Every day most of us contribute to an evolving public presentation of who we are that anyone can see and that we cannot erase. We might think we are at home on our laptops, cell phones or iPads communi-cating to just a few people on our friends list. But in reality we are in a huge auditorium speaking into a public address system to a world that can record and distribute everything we say."
Just to take one example from the booklet, you will recall that each year you re-ceive an Electoral Roll form to record who is living in your house. There is a box that you can tick to indicate that you do not want your details recorded on the list that firms and the general public can buy. If you do not tick this box your details will also be available on a website (www.192.com) where anyone, anywhere in the world, can discover your address and the names of all living in your house.
Copies of the booklet are available online: Google search "Tracking my Digital Footprint" and click on the impossibly long site starting HTTPS://www.cpni.gov.uk/Documents/Publications/2015 . . . and so on. It is well worth a read. Then go to some of the other websites listed and search for you name. It could be interesting!

Dorset Police are alerting local residents about the latest phone & online scams after seeing a large increase in reports from previous years. The two most common companies criminals pretend to be from are cur-rently H. M Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and TalkTalk. Over the last couple of years fraudsters have pretended to be police officers and bank workers when they’ve called their victims, but the latest phone scam in-volves criminals pretending to be from HMRC. They cold call members of the public to tell them that they owe HMRC a sum of money or that HMRC owe them a refund. Criminals then obtain bank details and per-sonal information from the unsuspecting victims and commit fraudulent activity on the victims bank account. Some individuals receive an answer-phone message and are advised to call 01202 281260 or 01202 834780, but these numbers are not connected to the real HMRC. Dorset Police received 71 reports linked to scams in May 2016, compared to 1 in the same period in 2015 and 3 in 2014.
D.S. Andrew Kennard of the Economic Crime Unit said “Fraudsters
will scam any one - regardless of age, background or where they live. Criminals contact their victims by phone, mail, the internet, social media, email, and on people’s doorsteps. They are always thinking of new ways to steal money from people, particularly the elderly - no matter where people say they are from don’t let anyone into your property if you don’t know them”
Dorset Police has also received an increase in the number of reports for
online scams - most recently about criminals pretending to be from tele-comm company Talk Talk. These types of scams aren’t just happening in Dorset: Action Fraud is reporting these kinds of phone scams happen across the UK, and similar methods have been used to trick people in the USA. D.S. Tim Farrell from Dorset Police’s Cyber-crime Unit, said “TalkTalk appears to have it’s name used increasingly by scam calls to members of the public, not only in Dorset, but nationwide in recent weeks. Dorset Police is experiencing a spike in the number of reports for this type of criminality. We have received 86 reports of TalkTalk scams since 1 January 2016, with just over a third of those in May. It is possible that the criminals may have acquired access to many people’s personal data, possi-bly from the internet. “Having access to private information allows the offender (s) to manipulate the victim by appearing to know some of their basis details, convincing them that they are genuinely from the company they claim to represent. This can then lead to the victim allowing them-selves to be directed to the webpage or link that allows the criminal to
15
watch their online activity remotely and often leads to the gathering of bank details and in due course to loss of money from the accounts. We’d like people to continue reporting it so that we can build an intelligence picture and catch those responsible for causing misery to thousands of people.
The Microsoft brand name is also used in a similar way in this type of scam call. A70yr old man from Wimborne was recently targeted by fraudsters who pretended to be from TalkTalk. He lost approximately £6,000. Police are still investigating this crime. Sgt Farrell continued, “If anyone calls you unexpectedly and asks you to do something on your computer, please hang up and contact the company yourself to verify the call. “Dorset is a safe place to live overall, but the offenders who commit cyber-crime know no boundaries. They may be in another county, coun-try or continent, but they commit crimes in our communities. Cyber-crime often affects the most vulnerable in our society, so please consider your neighbours, friends or elderly relatives who may be at risk and ad-vise them accordingly.
Many of the telecom providers offer service that prevent unrecognised
numbers getting through and just this simple step can often be enough to deter these heartless individuals.

A Relaxing Meal in the Garden?
My favourite film of all time is “Singing in the Rain” but this weather is really getting ridiculous! Even the thought of Gene Kelly and his umbrella does not appeal as it once did. Oh to have a meal in the gar-den on a warm summer evening with the smell of roses, jasmine and honeysuckle floating on a soft summer breeze. Well we can dream I suppose, indoors, with the heating on!
Tarragon Chicken This is one of my favourites
1 3lb(1.35k) chicken, (If you are cooking for one, the part boned chicken portions are good): 1oz softened butter: 1 dspn olive oil: ½ pt dry white wine: ½ lemon sliced: 2-3 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon or 1tbs dried: salt & pepper. Lemon juice from other ½ lemon.
Blend tarragon into butter and place inside bird along with the lemon.
Season bird, smear with oil and put into oiled roasting tin . Roast in pre-heated oven until bird is cooked. About 45mins to one hour, Juices should run clear when you stick knife into meat. Remove from oven, drain out butter etc from cavity, reserve. Cover bird with foil and rest for about 15-20mins. Skim off excess fat from tin. Place on heat add wine and lemon juice. Stir well to get all the nice crusty pieces into mix and reduce. Add rest of tarragon & check seasoning. When carving add any juices into the sauce.
New Potatoes I just cook them with mint and serve with butter but try this. New Potatoes in Cream
700g (1½lb) new potatoes scraped: ½ oz (15g) butter: 4-6 spring onions, trimmed and chopped: 60-90ml (4-6 tbspn) single cream: chopped chives to garnish.
Cook in salted water until cooked, 10-15 mins. Drain well and keep
warm. Melt butter in pan, add onion & cook for 5 mins. Stir in cream and heat without boiling. Add potatoes, reheat and serve with chives.
French Style Peas 900g (2lb young peas) shelled, 12 spring onions, trimmed & sliced: 1
firm hearted lettuce, outer leaves removed and heart cut into quarters. 50g
23
(2oz) butter: 5ml (1level tsp) sugar: salt & pepper: 150ml (¼ pt) chicken stock.
Melt butter in large pan, add peas, onions, lettuce, sugar, seasoning and stock. Bring to boil, cover and simmer gently for 15-20 mins.
New Carrots
If very small just scrub well, if a little larger scrape. Cook in salted water for 6-8 mins until cooked. Don’t over cook. Drain well and toss in melted butter.
The ideal dessert ( or pudding if you prefer) to follow this would be
something with strawberries.
Strawberry Romanoff This is one for the adults but if you have kids just use the orange & its juice.
450g (1lb) strawberries, hulled and cut in half: 1 orange: 15ml (1 tbsp) Grand Marnier: 50g (2oz) caster sugar: 150ml (¼pt) double cream: 2 x 15ml (2tbsp) top of the milk. 1 egg white.
Grate orange rind, and squeeze juice. Soak fruit in the liqueur with
orange rind, juice and sugar (reserving 1 5ml (1 tsp) sugar. Leave for approx 1 hour, gently stirring from time to time. Tip into glass serving dish, Whip cream with reserved sugar, and top of milk. Whisk egg white and fold into cream. Pile on top of strawberries.
A brilliant summer meal! All you need now is a nice day. To drink I would choose a good bottle
of chilled aromatic and fragrant, German wine from the Moselle, but if you prefer red, who cares, just do your own thing, I think that there is too much snobbery about wine but I must admit that some of the stuff I’ve been served on occasions does leave a lot to be desired. Some of it would do very well as paint stripper.

So, if you have anything that you can exhibit in any class bring it along - it won’t cost you any extra. Anyone in the Parish can enter the show - you don't need to be a member of the Garden Club, everyone is welcome so why not give it a go. The show opens to visitors at 2.30pm with the presentation of the cups and prizes at 3.30pm by David Hurrian (Associate Editor, Gardeners World Magazine).
The show is open to visitors for viewing the exhibits from 2.30pm. En-trance is only £1.00 (children free) and you get a free raffle ticket giving you a chance to win one of our wonderful prizes (you can also purchase more raffle tickets if you wish). Refreshments will be available during the afternoon.
The craft category topic this year will be ‘An example of your hobby’ and there are 2 photo competitions; topics are ‘Your Vegetable Garden’ and ‘A Village Scene’.
A copy of the Show Schedule is included with this Fippenny News and additional copies of the schedule are available from me and at the entry desk on the morning of the show. The more entries in the show the better and good luck to everyone!
Don’t forget it all starts with the Potato Competition weigh-in on Friday 15th July from 6.00pm at the Village Hall.

Common Name: Stag beetle Latin Name: Lucanus cervus Identification: The UK’s largest land beetle with males growing up to 75mm long! They have a black head and thorax and brown wing cases. The male has large mandibles which are shaped like antlers whilst the female is smaller in size and has much smaller mandi-bles.
Behaviour: Stag beetles spend the majority of their life (from 3-7 years!!) as larvae underground in rotting wood. They then pupate and metamor-phose in adults which then emerge in May/June. During this time they are on a mission to mate but will only survive one season as they cannot sur-vive the winter.
Eats: Larvae eat rotting wood. Adults do not eat but live on the stored fat from when they were a larvae. They will drink sap from trees and fallen soft fruit.
Where can they be found? Larvae can be found in amongst rotting wood that is underground. Adult males can be seen flying around at dusk where-as females tend to stay on the ground (only going as far as 20m or so!).
Stag beetles are under threat and have become extinct in some European countries. They are found in the south of England mainly.
Wildlife Gardening Tips:.
Make a stag beetle stumpery! Half bury logs in your garden to create a home and diner for stag beetles.
Cover tops of water butts so stag beetles don’t drown!
Try to avoid putting down plastic sheeting as emerging stag beetles may get stuck underneath.
Avoid clearing away rotting wood - instead make a log pile or stumpery with it. And leave old tree stumps in the ground.
Leave long grass around log piles/stum;ery as lawnmowers may kill any emerging stag beetles.
Grow soft fruit and leave any fallen fruit for the stag beetles.

Loraine Casebourne 18th July 1835 - 26th May 2016
It was with great sadness that we learnt of the sudden death of our good friend and neighbour Loraine. She will be very much missed by her many friends and neighbours in the village.
A quiet, friendly, social woman, Loraine and her husband Rowland
came to Okeford over 20 years ago and settled into their cottage in Green-hayes. A nurse in her youth, Loraine was always ready to lend a sympa-thetic ear, and also enjoyed a good chat, whether during her many stints as a ‘Holy Duster’ in St Andrew’s, social evenings in the Village Hall or whilst shopping. When talking to Loraine, there was always a lot of fun and laughter. Her funeral took place at St. Andrew's on 17th June, fol-lowed by cremation. Our very deepest condolences go to Rowland and his family.
Congratulations to Alice Trowbridge and James Witcher on the occasion of their Marriage at The Crown Hotel Blandford On Saturday 11th June.
