75th Burns Brow Well Ceremony Goes Virtual

75TH BURNS BROW WELL CEREMONY GOES VIRTUAL

South Scotland MSP Emma Harper, a keen Burnsian who is a Past President of Dumfries Ladies Burns Club No.1, has welcomed that the Dumfries and Galloway Burns Association (DGBA) have got behind her suggestion to hold the 2020 historic and prestigious Brow Well Ceremony online this year, rather than the annual ceremony being cancelled.

 

Ms Harper put the idea forward during a Zoom AGM meeting of the DGBA where the group were discussing how to allow for the time honoured, historic ceremony to be marked amidst the current COVID-19 pandemic, and current social distancing requirements including prohibiting group gatherings.

 

Burns aficionados – including the South Scotland MSP – from across D&G and beyond have joined in recording themselves reciting lines from Burns’ famous dirge ‘Man Was Made to Mourn’.  These clips have been edited together to show Presidents and members from Burns clubs across the region – and Her Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Dumfries, Fiona Armstrong, President Fiona Evans, Members of both Scottish and UK Parliament’s and Past Presidents of the Robert Burns World Federation – recite the poem in its entirety.

 

This video forms part of 4 social media videos for broadcast on newly created DGBAssociation YouTube channel, that starts with a welcome by President Evans, who introduces immediate past RBWF President, Bill Nolan, who delivers the eulogy followed by a prayer by the Reverend Gerald Moule from Ruthwell Kirk in memory of the Bard and then Howff Club Piper Callum Watson playing the lament.

 

Professor Gerard Carruthers, from the University of Glasgow, also presents a short history of the Brow Well and the last few days in the Life of Scotland’s National Bard. The virtual event will be linked to YouTube on the DGBA Facebook page where people are encouraged to visit, view and share.

 

Commenting, Ms Harper said:

 

 “The contribution of everyone has been phenomenal. I have been able to watch the careful editing process and the submissions are delivered carefully, competently and often passionately from all participants.
“This year, many festivals, ceremony’s and celebrations, have not been able to go ahead due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I am therefore pleased that the DGBA supported my idea to make this year’s service virtual. This has become part of everyone’s new normal across the region and Scotland.
“I want to thank the Dumfries & Galloway Burns Association for having such an open minded approach for this years’ service, and I also thank my Dumfries and Galloway MSP and MP colleagues who have agreed to join in reciting Burns.
“In the words of Burns himself, “The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men gang aft agley.” Meaning that no matter how much planning or preparation is made, things can still go wrong, but there is always an alternative or solution. Indeed, I am pleased that we have found one which allows the 75th Annual Brow Well Ceremony to go ahead and to honour the life and works of Scotland’s Bard.”

Dumfries and Galloway Burns Association President, Fiona Evans, added:

 

“I have been overwhelmed by the response and the support received from the local burns family. The response has been phenomenal, we have 39 people taking part including a representative of every member club from DGBA; local politicians & VIPS; past presidents & youngsters representing DGBA schools competition.
“As newly installed President of Dumfries & Galloway Burns Association, I was very much looking forward to my first official duty, to oversee the Brow Well ceremony.
“Emma made a suggestion at our recent virtual AGM to record a message to share on social media to commemorate this important date in the Burns calendar, I was determined to look into this more to see how we could make this possible.  I spoke with Emma & our executive committee and we started planning on earnest.”

Scotland Sees Dramatic Drop In On Farm Fatalities

SCOTLAND SEES DRAMATIC DROP IN ON FARM FATALITIES

NFU Scotland has welcomed the news that the number of farm deaths dropped from 13 to 2 in 12 months, but insists there is still work to be done

Today (Monday 20 July) marks the start of Farm Safety Week which sees NFU Scotland work with the Farm Safety Foundation, and other stakeholders, to promote the importance of proper health and safety practices.

To coincide with Farm Safety Week, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) released their report on fatal injuries in agriculture, forestry and fishing in Great Britain 2019/20

Over the last 12 months there have been two fatalities due to on farm injuries in Scotland, which is a marked improvement on the previous year which saw 13 deaths.

The Union has welcomed the news and recognises that this is down to a clear shift in the attitudes of farmers and crofters who are taking health and safety on farm far more seriously than they have in the past.

Agriculture has, for a number of years, had a poor record for health and safety and it is something which NFU Scotland has worked closely with the Farm Safety Foundation and HSE to improve the industries reputation.

Despite the improvements in the number of fatalities on farm in Scotland, there is still work to be done and NFU Scotland, along with the Farm Safety Foundation and HSE, is committed to continuing to improve safety on Scottish farms and crofts.

Speaking about the latest figures, NFU Scotland Vice President Charlie Adam said: “It is clear to see from the latest figures that the work NFU Scotland, the Farm Safety Foundation and HSE is having a positive affect and we are seeing some much needed improvements.
 “Two deaths are still two too many and it shows that there is still plenty of work to be done. These two incidents aren’t just figures on a report, they are two separate farming families who will be grieving and should be treated as such.
“The work that we do with the Farm Safety Foundation, and other stakeholders, during Farm Safety Week is vitally important to spread the message of good health and safety on farm but it cannot be just for the one week a year. Farmers and crofters need to buy into these new farming methods and technologies year round, not just for these five days.”

Council Kick Starts Project To Help With School Uniforms

Council kick starts project to help with school uniforms

An initiative to support parents with the costs of returning to school has been restarted. The School Uniform Project is an initiative that will help to tackle the costs of paying for new school uniforms and stationery.

Across our community, individuals will be encouraged to make donations of school uniforms and stationery for families in need. This could be uniforms that young people may have outgrown or don’t wear anymore or alternatively, some people are buying an extra shirt or jumper and donating that.

As a result of COVID-19, the way that the project works has been slightly changed from previous years. Donations will still be received in the same way – there are a variety of drop off points across the region where these items can be taken to. Families who would like some uniforms only have to complete an easy online form and then school uniforms will be delivered to their home address for free.

As a result of the recent pandemic, a number of families may be struggling financially. The school uniform project supports individuals by helping to removing the pressure of buying items as well as removing the stigma of free uniforms being given out within schools.

Speaking about the project, Chair of the Communities Committee, Andy Ferguson, said “This administration is absolutely determined to make a difference, a proper difference, to those who are living in poverty. This can be a worrying time of the year for parents who are facing the costs of the new school term. Having to pay for new uniforms, school bags, stationery and other costs can really add up. That’s why I’m so pleased that we are relaunching the School Uniform Project. It will make a real difference to those parents who are concerned about finding the money to pay for these items. This project is about supporting parents who need our help, not judging them.”
Chair of Children, Education and Learning committee, Jeff Leaver, added “our Council has a duty to become involved at grass roots level, to step up to the mark, engage, and take responsibility to help those most in need. We made a commitment to identify the best interventions that will make a difference to those who face poverty in our region. This project will help make a difference to those who need our support. I know myself how quickly kids grow up, sometimes outgrowing their school clothes throughout the year. That is why making sure that this project runs throughout the year is so important because this project is not just about supporting parents at the start of term. It’s about providing support throughout the year to those who need it, not just as a result of the pandemic.”

Boyd Group Donates Visors To The Dumfries & Galloway Hard of Hearing Group

Boyd Group Donates Visors To The Dumfries & Galloway Hard of Hearing Group
Raymond Boyd presenting the visors

Over 50 volunteers have received specialist safety visors which will allow them to deliver services to people with hearing loss across Dumfries & Galloway

The Boyd Group, a family run business based in Dumfries which specialises in health and safety services, training and fire safety provisions and support, donated the visors on learning of the specific needs of people with a hearing loss.

Ann Ferguson, Dumfries & Galloway Hard of Hearing Group chairperson highlighted the plight of people with a hearing loss during the COVID-19 lockdown “ While almost everyone will have experienced different degrees of isolation people with hearing loss and those with poorly functioning hearing aids have been even more isolated” she added “ This could have left them unable to hear the television, use the telephone or have a conversation so it’s important that we are able to resume our services albeit on a limited basis as soon as its safe to do so”

All of the charity’s hearing aid care and maintenance services have been suspended since the Covid-19 lockdown but before they can restart on a partial basis all of the volunteers need to have the appropriate safety equipment.

Raymond Boyd, Boyd Group Founder and Managing Director said” It’s really important that these volunteers have the correct safety equipment, including face visors which will allow service users to lip read. Other face masks which obscure the mouth make it much harder if not impossible for someone with a hearing loss to follow what is being said”  He added “ Hearing loss is to a great extent an invisible disability but not being able to hear can have a huge impact on quality of life. We are delighted to be helping people with a hearing loss get back to some form of normality and to be able to access the help and support they need”

Scotland Is Stunning, Let’s Keep It That Way

Zero Waste Scotland – in partnership with Scottish Government and Keep Scotland Beautiful – has launched a new campaign to encourage everyone to take pride in our outdoor spaces and keep them litter free.

The campaign calls on everyone to do their part in preventing litter by simply binning their rubbish, or if community bins are full, take it home. We can all enjoy the great outdoors – when we’re visiting parks, beaches, or woodlands – and look after our stunning country for ourselves and others.

 

Top tips to prepare for a daytrip

If you know you’re going to be travelling a bit further afield, there are a few steps you can take to ensure you don’t leave any litter behind.

  1. Keep a bin bag in your car or backpack, so you’re always prepared
  2. Take your own reusable containers for eating out, to avoid having to dispose of takeaway food packaging
  3. Use reusables when out and about including straws, coffee cups, water bottles and cutlery
  4. Make sure your litter won’t blow away, or get dropped while you’re visiting or having a picnic
  5. Remember that cigarette butts and fruit peelings become litter when dropped
  6. Don’t place a disposable barbeque in a bin until it has cooled down completely, make sure it is fully distinguished by using plenty of water or sand
  7. Make use of community bins or bring your rubbish home if they are full
  8. Recycle your litter when you get home, if you can

Biker Killed In Fatal A708 Collision Named

Biker Killed In Fatal A708 Collision Named

Police Scotland can confirm the identity of a 33-year-old man who died as a result of a road crash on the A708 near Moffat.

He was Hristo Hristov from Tranent in East Lothian.

The incident happened around 3.55pm on Sunday, 19 July, 2020 when a grey Audi Q2 car collided with a green Kawasaki motorcycle on the A708 between Moffat and Selkirk, near the Grey Mare’s Tail.

Sergeant William Broatch , of Dumfries and Galloway Road Policing, said: “Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of Mr. Hrsitov at this difficult time.
“Enquiries into the incident are ongoing and I would ask that anyone with any information contact police on 101 quoting incident number 2252 of Sunday, 19 July, 2020.”

Advance Warning of A75 Road Closure – Between Oxgang Farm & Collin

Advance Warning of A75 Road Closure - Between Oxgang Farm and Collin

As part of Transport Scotland’s strategic trunk road management programme, Scotland TranServ will shortly resurface 0.5km of the A75 between Oxgang Farm and Collin, east of Dumfries.

In order to deliver this essential resurfacing project as quickly and safely as possible, it will be necessary to implement a weekend closure of the trunk road. Works will follow strict physical distancing protocols in line with the Scottish Government’s COVID-19 guidance. In association with Transport Scotland, we have identified this resurfacing project as an essential maintenance scheme, vital to maintaining the integrity and safety of the trunk road network.

Alan Murray, Scotland TranServ’s Principal Roads Design Engineer said:

“Scotland TranServ and Transport Scotland would firstly like to take this opportunity to thank drivers for making only essential journeys over the last few months, and for playing their part in protecting the country’s key workers.
“Scotland TranServ has implemented many new working practices across our own workforce and those of our contractors and suppliers as we work towards the delivery of our Network Maintenance and other programmes. Thorough risk assessments have been carried out as we take a lead in the delivery of trunk road maintenance.
“This is an important section of the trunk road network, and as such is used by emergency services, freight, retail and delivery traffic as part of their essential working. It is vital that we resurface this area in order to maintain road safety. Traffic volumes are still lower than normal, and the programme can therefore be carried out safely and with reduced impact on communities and businesses as they recover at this time.”

To deliver this important resurfacing project with minimal disruption, we need to implement a full weekend closure of the trunk road in this area between the following times:

  • 7am on Saturday 25th to 6am on Monday 27th July

Diversions will be in place throughout, with drivers advised to allow an additional 20 minutes for their journeys. Special arrangements will be made for emergency service vehicles, however no additional measures will be taken for windfarm traffic or abnormal loads.

Motorists can find live trunk road information by visiting trafficscotland.org or by following @trafficscotland on Twitter.

SEPA Cracks Down On Illegal Dumpers Advertising On Social Media

SEPA cracks down on illegal dumpers advertising on social media

• SEPA enforcement team targets criminals and chancers using social media to sell illegal waste services.

• Regulator reminds waste companies that compliance with the law is non-negotiable.

• Illegal operators contributing to fly-tipping and other illegal waste activity.

• Public are reminded – don’t engage the services of people who are not authorised.

Chancers advertising illegal waste collections on social media sites are being targeted by Scotland’s environmental regulator in a new digital clampdown.

Household recycling centres are now open but many have restrictions in place – and people may still have bulky items and excess waste that cannot be transported. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) is warning those trying to make a quick buck from the current situation by operating illegally that they are firmly in the spotlight, and that direct warnings would be sent to those not registered with SEPA placing adverts – with fines of up to £5,000 for non-compliance.

SEPA’s specialist enforcement team has been working alongside partners Police Scotland, Zero Waste Scotland and local authorities throughout the lockdown period to tackle waste crime across Scotland.

These specialist officers are monitoring sites like Facebook and Gumtree to catch waste criminals as part of a wider effort to deter illegal activity across the waste management chain. SEPA is very clear that those who deliberately flout the rules will face the uncompromising regulator their behaviour deserves.

Jennifer Shearer, Head of Enforcement at the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, said:

“We know that illegal activity places further stress on legitimate operators – especially where services are being pushed through social media and other channels.
“Through our monitoring of social media we’ve unfortunately seen a number of instances of couriers and so-called white van men taking the opportunity to offer an unauthorised waste collection service and then often dumping in public spaces or remote parts of countryside – creating an unsafe environmental hazard and an eyesore for the local community.
“Having witnessed an increase in adverts of this kind in recent months, our digital disruption is designed to take those operating illegally, out of the market.”

Where enforcement officers identify that adverts and messages are being distributed by carriers not registered with SEPA, they will make contact to warn them that they are operating illegally. If they do not apply for a registration or stop activities, SEPA will take enforcement action which could see them subjected to fines or criminal prosecution.

There is also an important role for the public, with a warning that the use of unlicensed waste collectors could result in waste contributing to fly-tipping and other illegal activity.

“Don’t engage the services of people who are not authorised,” Shearer explains. “Remember, services that sound too good to be true often are, and could lead to your waste being illegally fly-tipped or disposed of by other illegitimate means.
“Anyone offering to take your waste away should be able to provide a waste carrier registration number and tell you the named facility they will take the waste to – if they can’t provide this information, don’t allow them to take your waste.
“Now more than ever, Scots are recognising the importance of local services like recycling and the part we all play in correctly managing our waste. You have the responsibility to take care of your waste and if we trace it back to you we can take enforcement action against you too. We don’t want people to be put in that situation so make sure that anyone who takes your waste for disposal is properly accredited.”

Roseanna Cunningham, Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform, added:

“We owe a massive thank you to all those in the waste industry who are working hard to keep services running in challenging circumstances. Illegal activities such as flytipping adds to the burden of those who continue to deliver essential services.
“SEPA has a vital role in regulating and monitoring waste carrier services and I welcome the proactive approach they are taking to target unregistered waste businesses. It is vital that individuals take responsibility for checking that the waste carrier they use is registered and will dispose of waste correctly.”

Visiting the new website – managingourwaste.scot – from SEPA, Zero Waste Scotland and partners, you will find updates and advice on how to manage waste.  As part of Scotland’s campaign to help manage waste during current restrictions the site also explains how you can help to tackle fly-tipping. SEPA is also offering support to help those managing our waste operate against the challenges of coronavirus.

Top three Dos and Don’ts of Household Waste Disposal

  1. DO use common sense. If you are approached out of the blue with an offer to dispose of your waste so quickly and cheaply is sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
  2. DON’T entrust your waste with someone if they are unable to tell you basic information like their waste carrier registration number and the named site they are taking the waste to.
  3. DO take responsibility for who you give waste to – if we trace illegally disposed of waste back to you then you could be liable for enforcement action too.

The COVID-19 Policy and Minimum Operating Standards outline the requirements that must be met before sites will be able to reopen in line with official government guidelines.

They have been developed from a wide range of sector and industry advice, guidance and best practice, and set the benchmark for the safe reopening of sites and resumption of operational activities.

The Operating Standards have been published to provide a resource for the wider heritage sector, and to support and assist other organisations with their own resumption planning.

Dr David Mitchell, Director of Conservation at HES, said:

“We have been undertaking an extensive exercise to carefully assess the requirements for the gradual reopening of our vast and diverse estate of over 300 unique properties.
The Policy and Guidance we have published today provides a detailed and robust basis for our approach to reopening, which above all has the safety of our staff and visitors at its forefront.
“We hope that this guidance will not only set out a clear and transparent approach to the reopening of the properties in our care, but also offer a resource for the wider sector to assist other organisations in the resumption of their own activities.”
