This month sees the charity Petrus People, which advertise<br />
in all our magazines each month, celebrate their second<br />
birthday. Read about the good work that they do on pages<br />
44 and 45. We would recommend that you visit their store<br />
on Hamer Lane Rochdale OL16 2UL as it’s like an Aladdin’s<br />
Cave!<br />
A date for your diaries is definitely the Exhibition to be held<br />
at St George’s Church in April <strong>2016</strong> where local people will<br />
have the opportunity to view a life size replica of the Turin<br />
Shroud, one of only six in the world. On page 52 there’s<br />
also a list of key events at Springhill Hospice this year. With<br />
a bumper What’s On Guide, there’s plenty to look forward<br />
in the forthcoming months.<br />
Remember to contact us if you are organising an event or<br />
involved in a local cause and we will include your<br />
information for free.<br />
Until next month…….<br />

Need some help with<br />
technology?<br />
With just a few weeks to go before Rochdale Digital Festival returns, organisers have<br />
revealed more about this year’s event. The festival, aimed at de-mystifying<br />
technology and showing how useful, easy and fun to use it can be, will be staged at<br />
Number One Riverside on Saturday 27 <strong>Feb</strong>ruary.<br />
Names already confirmed to be at the festival include Barclays, Google, BBC iPlayer, 02 Rochdale and BT.<br />
They’ll be joined by a host of others including Boots, Rochdale Online and Hopwood Hall College.<br />
Organised by Rochdale Borough Council, in partnership with BBC Radio Manchester, the festival has been<br />
designed to improve people’s digital skills with hands-on help and advice for all age groups. Visitors will be<br />
able to find out how to do online banking, how to browse products, shop or read a book online, and get tips<br />
on using smartphones and tablets.<br />
If you want to know more about how to use technology to find a job, you can visit the Careers and Skills Zone<br />
for expert advice on the digital skills you need to find work in <strong>2016</strong> and beyond. For the first time there will<br />
be a Digital Community and Creative Zone, highlighting local digital projects and how they can help you.<br />
There will also be demonstrations of how residents can use the council website to avoid making unnecessary<br />
and time-consuming telephone calls or face-to-face visits. There will be friendly faces on hand to show how<br />
easy it can be and tablets, phones and computers will be available for people to try.<br />
Councillor Neil Emmott, Cabinet Member for Corporate Services and Neighbourhoods said:<br />
“We’ve really stepped up a gear for <strong>2016</strong> and already have a great line-up of local and national names<br />
joining us. It’s going to be an unmissable day for local residents, helping you do more online, whatever your<br />
level. You’ll be able to find out how to do online banking, how to browse products, shop or read a book online<br />
and get tips on using a smartphone or tablet. There will be friendly faces on hand to show you step by step<br />
just how easy it is, as well as tablets, phones and computers for you to have a go on.”<br />
The festival will bring together a range of exhibitions, performances and workshops and there will also be a<br />
‘help-bar’ where an 02 ‘guru’ and students will help you get the best from your smartphone and tablet.<br />
Rochdale Digital Festival is being held as part of BeOnline <strong>2016</strong> – a national two-week campaign to help<br />
people discover the internet and how it can help them make <strong>2016</strong> a year of transformation.<br />
If you’re already online, find out more about the event at www.rochdale.gov.uk/RDFest16<br />
DO MORE ONLINE: Rochdale Digital Festival is promising all the help you need to get to grips with<br />
technology.<br />

A Slice of Saturday Night<br />
A big taste of the 1960s comes to Rochdale<br />
Some of the best young musical talent in the borough will be onstage this April at the Curtain<br />
Theatre this April. The smash hit musical “A Slice of Saturday Night” tells the story of a single<br />
evening in 1964 in the basement “Club a Go-Go” nightclub. It is accompanied by a live four<br />
piece beat combo not dissimilar to The Fab Four and the fashions and haircuts match the beats<br />
and rhythms.<br />
Musical director Paul Nicholls is making his debut at the Curtain Theatre said, “A Slice of Saturday Night is one of my all-time<br />
favourite shows. What the writers have done is take the styles, riffs, solos and harmonies<br />
of dozens of favourite sixties tunes, and reworked them into a jukebox full of familiar<br />
seeming songs and routines. Every song in the show, sounds like you’ve heard it before,<br />
but you haven’t.”<br />
“The choice of show is no accident either.” added director Andy Kelly. “The production<br />
will showcase some of the best youth performers in the town, most of whom are making<br />
their Curtain Theatre debut. Most of the cast are studying performance or musical theatre<br />
at colleges across the North West, and are looking to go into acting professionally.<br />
We are very fortunate to get them now for this two week run.”<br />
This is not the first time Andy has tackled this material either. ”Twenty years ago, I<br />
played the part of Eddie in the show. And I was ten years too old then! The youngsters<br />
in the cast are all supposed to be around 17, and the show tackles the issues around<br />
relationships, growing up, love and separation- all in a comic way though”<br />
“A Slice of Saturday Night” by the Heather Brothers (with Kind Permission from Samuel French Limited) runs from Monday 11th<br />
April-Saturday 23rd April <strong>2016</strong> at the Curtain Theatre Rochdale.<br />
The Curtain Theatre manages its audience through an invite system. You are invited to come and<br />
see a performance by being on the invitation list, to which you receive the chance to see all of the<br />
five productions that year. (plus some guest companies who use the theatre.) To be added to the<br />
list you simply need to submit your full name and address to :<br />

Slice Synopsis:<br />
Seven teenagers dance and eye each other and flirt on a Saturday night at<br />
popular Club A Go Go in a town in the British provinces. Sue is going out<br />
with Gary, but he flirts with Penny and the other girls at every opportunity.<br />
Sharon and Rick like each other but are too shy to tell each other. Eddie<br />
is challenged to a bet by the boys regarding "frigid" Bridget, over the<br />
course of the night he tries everything, with very little success. The owner<br />
of the club, ageing rocker Eric "Rubber-legs" De Vene, watches and lends<br />
an ear to the young people as they navigate the rituals of teenage<br />
fashion, music, and relationships.<br />

anything and everything; including furniture, clothing, electricals, toys, books, music, DVD’s, bric-a-brac and<br />

purpose of! If you are having a clear out of items that are in good condition please call us, we can collect<br />
furniture locally.<br />
At the store we have received great support from a small army of around 85 volunteers! This amazing team<br />
of people have contributed in all aspects of the building maintenance and operation of the store. Rochdale<br />
Rotary Club has proved an indispensable source of support, labour and skills for us. Other volunteers are<br />
drawn from all areas of our community; Petrus service users, customers, donors, work placements, Rochdale<br />
people that want to support a worthy cause.<br />

crisis situations. These are referred by an agency worker such as school worker, health visitor, support worker,<br />
housing officer.<br />

CRIME PREVENTION TIPS<br />
Throughout the cold months, please take care when<br />
deicing your car. If you are driving anywhere early in<br />
the morning and your car is covered with frost, don't<br />
leave the engine running while you are not with it,<br />
even if it is for a couple of seconds. Not only could you<br />
not be insured if your car is stolen, if you leave it on a<br />
road, running and unattended you could be prosecuted<br />
for the offence of "quitting".<br />
We continue to tackle burglaries in your area, research into<br />
Rochdale offences shows the below advice will help reduce the<br />
chance of you becoming a victim of burglary. Offenders are<br />
mainly entering houses through ground floor rear windows /<br />
doors - some of these have been windows left open, as the<br />
cold weather is on its way, open window insecurities will<br />
decrease but please if you are out or in another room close<br />
your windows & doors. Items from the garden are being used<br />
to aid the offenders, so far we have - Wheelie bins, garden<br />
rakes, garden chairs that have been used - if you have a shed<br />
please use & lock it keeping these items out of sign & mind of<br />
would be thieves. Some homes have been successful in<br />
disrupting offenders by having a working house alarm that is<br />
set while the occupants are out or in bed -<br />
each crime reported over the period<br />
researched shows where a house<br />
alarm has been set off the offenders<br />
haven't managed to gain access &<br />
have left with nothing.<br />
Please use this advice to reduce the chances of you becoming<br />
a victim of crime. This advice has been tailored to the<br />
particular type of criminals operating in the Rochdale area. We<br />
are working hard to tackle crime and antisocial behaviour in<br />
this area and information from the community is vital.<br />
BEAT THE BURGLAR<br />
Outside - your first line of defence<br />
•Walls, gates and fences - High fences are hard to climb, but<br />
they give a burglar cover once he's over. So keep them low.<br />
The best have a trellis on top, making them difficult to climb.<br />
And make sure to lock any gates to prevent access to the side<br />
or rear of your property.<br />
•Hedges and plants - Prickly bushes and hedges around a<br />
garden can act as a deterrent to a burglar.<br />
•Lighting and driveways - Get an outdoor light with a sensor<br />
that comes on when someone's around and don't<br />
underestimate the deterrent of a gravel drive. It makes quite a<br />
noise when walked on and can deter burglars.<br />
Is anybody home?<br />
Lights - You can get plug-in timers for your lamps - and timers<br />
for your ceiling lights. Don't just light up the hall. Fool a<br />
burglar by lighting up the landing, bathroom, bedroom and<br />
living room too. Really fox him by varying the times each light<br />
comes on. Sound advices - Use a plug-in timer for a radio -<br />
make it a talk station rather than music.<br />
Windows - Remember to shut all windows, even small and<br />
upstairs ones, when you leave the house, in your garden or<br />
in the rear of your property. If you're upstairs, close your<br />
downstairs windows and if you're planning some time<br />
away, get a trusted neighbour to shut the<br />
curtains at night. You could return the favour<br />
some time!<br />

NEWS & APPEALS<br />
Police are investigating after a man was attacked and bundled<br />
into a car in <strong>Milnrow</strong>.<br />
At around 5.20pm on Sunday 17 January <strong>2016</strong>, a man<br />
parked his car on the street outside the Waggon Inn,<br />
Butterworth Hall in <strong>Milnrow</strong> when three masked men attacked<br />
him and bundled him into their car, a black Ford, which was<br />
on false number plates. The man was located safe and well in<br />
the early hours of this morning, Monday 18 January, at his<br />
home in <strong>Milnrow</strong>. Police are appealing for information and<br />
witnesses. Detective Inspector Lee Hopwood said: “This<br />
incident will be understandably worrying for the local<br />
community but I want to give them some reassurance that this<br />
was a targeted attack and the local community should not feel<br />
unduly concerned.<br />
“There were a lot of people at the pub at the time who<br />
witnessed the incident and I would ask that these people come<br />
forward and tell police what they saw or give us any<br />
information they may have about who is involved.”<br />
Anyone with information should call police on 0161 856<br />

Burrs Country Park and<br />
The River Irwell<br />
Bury, of course, is famous for its market and its black puddings. It also has some interesting and beautiful countryside<br />
on its doorstep and this walk is a short taster of what it has to offer. Take the Brandlesholme Road out of Bury and<br />
very shortly turn right following the brown signs to Burrs Country Park. Leaving the car at the car park take a few<br />
minutes to read the interesting stories on display on the information boards which explain the industrial heritage<br />
of the site. Now head for the caravan site but soon turn left and follow the path around the large grass field which<br />
will soon lead you to a walk through woods down to the River Irwell. As you approach the river you will walk<br />
alongside a channel which was constructed at the time of the Manchester, Bolton and Bury canal to feed the reservoir<br />
at Elton some two miles away which in turn fed the canal. This was supplied by the construction of a weir, which<br />
you soon reach, to raise the water level. The system is still working some 220 years since its construction although<br />
the canal is long since defunct.<br />
Continue to follow the path until you come to a railway bridge under<br />
the East Lancashire Railway where you may encounter a steam train<br />
working the line from Bury to Rawtenstall. Pass under the bridge and<br />
follow the road up by a couple of farms until you reach a path turning<br />
sharply left marked Irwell Sculpture Trail which you should now follow.<br />
I could not see any sculptures so good luck with finding any. The path<br />
now passes above woods and when you come to a turning to the left<br />
follow it down through the woods to a railway crossing. Cross the<br />
railway carefully and turn right and you will soon reach Station Road.<br />
Here is a fine bridge over the river which you should cross. Soon you<br />
will arrive in the hamlet of Summerseat where you will find a garden<br />
centre with toilets and refreshments.<br />
Continue to the end of the terraced houses and turn left up the flight of steps. At the top follow the road for a hundred<br />
yards then turn left along Higher Summerseat where two pubs offer meals. The walk now levels and offers expansive views towards Tottington,<br />
Walshaw and Holcolm Hill. Across the Irwell valley Rooley Moor wind farm is clearly visible. Once you have passed the new tennis centre<br />
and reached the main road it is worth catching a bus if one is due. This will save a somewhat tedious walk along this busy section of road.<br />
If you do so then alight at Hunstanton Drive. If you walk then the<br />
varied architecture of the property hereabouts offers some interest<br />
to this section of the walk.<br />
Walk down Hunstanton Drive to the bottom of the hill and turn<br />
left. On your left you will find the canal feeder once again<br />
looking like static water. Below it must move very slowly on its<br />
inexorable journey to Elton. In a few hundred yards you will<br />
be back at the car. There is an old pub The Brown Cow, built<br />
as a farm in 1792, tucked away near the caravan site which<br />
will hopefully be open for refreshments and toilets. The full<br />
walk is about 5 miles.<br />

TURIN SHROUD EXHIBITION COMING<br />
TO ROCHDALE<br />
Everyone loves a good mystery. The Loch Ness<br />
Monster, the Bermuda Triangle and the Mary<br />
Celeste are just three but among the longest<br />
lasting and most baffling puzzles is the Turin<br />
Shroud. This has divided experts for centuries and<br />
even today there is no definitive view.<br />
For those who have never heard of it, the Shroud of Turin is a<br />
strip of linen cloth about 12 feet long which is held in Turin<br />
Cathedral and very rarely seen in public. The last occasion was<br />
when the current Pope was given access to the relic during a visit<br />
to the city last year (2015).<br />
So what is so special about it? The Shroud carries an image of<br />
a man of middle-eastern appearance, both front and back. He<br />
is about six-feet tall and has long hair, typical of men in biblical<br />
times. There are what appear to be blood stains and wounds in<br />
hands, feet and side which coincide with the accounts of Jesus<br />
Christ’s death as described in the Gospels. A few singe marks<br />
and minor repairs are also in evidence. The image is like a<br />
photographic negative.<br />
Many experts believe that this is the actual burial shroud of Jesus<br />
Christ in which he was wrapped after being taken down from the<br />
cross, laid in a tomb and then rose again on Easter Day – the<br />
foundation of Christianity.<br />
Equally there are experts who discount this theory but one thing<br />
that puzzles them all is how the image came to be on the cloth.<br />
Photography was unknown but the image is anatomically correct.<br />
How was it imprinted on the cloth?<br />
Surprisingly carbon dating has been allowed only on strands of<br />
cloth used to repair the Shroud, probably in the middle ages but<br />
no one has been allowed to remove strands from the original<br />
material to test its authenticity.<br />
Now people of all faiths (and none) in Rochdale will have the<br />
opportunity to see a full-size replica (one of only six in the world)<br />
in an exhibition which will be in Saint George’s Church,,<br />

Thai Style Mussels<br />
I love mussels but only if really fresh, in season<br />
and nice and plump. I’ve given them an Asian<br />
style makeover which gives them an awesome<br />
kick. Have some hot crusty bread ready at the<br />
end to mop up the juices.<br />
If your in a rush or a bit dodgy with your knife<br />
skills you could always blend up the onion, chilli,<br />
garlic, ginger, fennel and lemon grass in a food<br />
processor instead of chopping everything fine by<br />
hand.<br />
Thai Style Mussels<br />
Serves 2<br />
2 table spoons olive oil<br />
1 small onion – chopped fine<br />
1 red chilli – de-seeded and chopped fine<br />
1 clove garlic – chopped fine<br />
1 knob of fresh root ginger – chopped fine<br />
½ fennel chopped fine<br />
½ lemon grass – chopped fine<br />
Method<br />
1) Heat the olive oil in a large sauce pan. Add the onion, chilli,<br />
garlic, ginger, fennel and lemon grass and sauté for 3-4<br />
minutes until softened.<br />
2) Add the mussels and white wine and cover. Cook over a high<br />
heat for approx 4 minutes shaking the pan frequently until the<br />
mussels open.<br />
3) Transfer the mussels to warmed serving bowls and add the<br />

Bring to the boil, season to taste then pour over the mussels<br />

Springhill Hospice Winter Update<br />
Man of Rochdale <strong>2016</strong><br />
With a heavy heart the team at Springhill Hospice waved goodbye to the 2014-<br />

Town Hall last November and graciously handed over the reins and responsibility<br />
of Rochdale Man of the Year 2015-<strong>2016</strong> to Celebrity Chief Andrew Nutter, a<br />
great fundraiser for local causes and a fantastic ambassador for Rochdale.<br />
