Early years pupils at Holbeach Primary Academy have been studying transport this term and so were delighted to welcome a tractor to their school.

The vehicle came from tractor dealers Doubleday, of Holbeach St John, and Richard Hook, of the firm, was happy to let youngsters take a seat in the cabin.

The day had been organised by the academy’s school meals provider Willoughby Foods.

In the afternoon the pupils enjoyed World Book Day activities.

At Tydd St Mary Church of England Primary School, pupils brought in their favourite books and dressed up as their best-loved characters.

Children also enjoyed dressing up at the Priory School in Spalding and the Pinchbeck Penguins playgroup.

DOCTOR CALLING: By Dr Kevin Hill

When it comes to sickness and diarrhoea, no-one likes it when you overshare – particularly if that means spreading a virus around.

That’s why people in south Lincolnshire are being urged to look after others as well as themselves if they are unfortunate enough to be laid low with a nasty stomach bug this winter.

Norovirus is particularly widespread at this time of year, and diarrhoea and vomiting are among its symptoms. It’s also very easily spread through contaminated surfaces and close contact with other people.

There is no cure for norovirus but it usually clears up by itself within a few days, and the best way to recover is through self-care at home – getting plenty of rest, drinking lots of fluids and washing hands regularly with soap and water.

There’s nothing your GP can prescribe for norovirus, and sitting in a doctor’s waiting room if you have the bug can put others at risk – and is a sure-fire way to share your misfortune with others.

There’s no denying that the symptoms of norovirus can be pretty unpleasant, and many people’s first instinct when they’re struck down by the bug is to head straight to their GP.
With something like a stomach bug, however, looking after yourself at home can often be the best option. If you need guidance on what you can do to help yourself get better, you should contact your local pharmacist – they can provide quick advice without you having to wait for an appointment or sit in a waiting room.

If you are worried your stomach complaint is something more than a simple bug, a pharmacist will be able to let you know if they think a visit to the doctors is needed.

If your local pharmacy is closed, call NHS111 for free and a trained advisor can talk you through the best course of action.

Norovirus is sometimes known as D&V or the winter vomiting bug. Symptoms include suddenly feeling sick, projectile vomiting and watery diarrhoea. Some people can have a slight fever, headache, painful stomach cramps and aching limbs, too.

The symptoms start around 12 to 72 hours after picking up the infection and can last up to 60 hours. You should stay at home for at least 48 hours after the last symptoms have cleared.

Anyone suffering from norovirus can help to stop the spread of the bug through good hand hygiene using soap and water rather than alcohol hand gels, which do not kill the virus.

Spalding chartered accountants Duncan and Toplis say there were “a few positives” in the Budget on business rates but also disappointments for entrepreneurs and single-director businesses.

Alistair Main, an associate director at the firm’s Spalding office, said: “This Budget was not one particularly full of surprises. As many predicted, not much was revealed of major concern but there were a few positives scattered in there.

“One was the business rates relief for pubs that has been announced.

“Publicans and landlords have been hit hard in previous budgets so that will be encouraging, particularly for our rural pubs which add to the visitor economy and the sense of community in South Holland. The hint at a fund that will go towards alleviating the impact of the potential business rate rise was also interesting, but we will look forward to what form that takes and who will benefit in the future.

“The only disappointments have been for entrepreneurs and single-director businesses.

“The reduced cap on dividend allowance to just £2,000 is a drawback but it shouldn’t put people off starting their own business as there is support out there in other forms.”

A man of 57 has died after being hit by a train at Quadring level crossing.

It is understood the man was on foot when the incident happened between 4.30pm and 5pm yesterday (Wednesday).

A spokesman for British Transport Police said: “It is not being treated as suspicious.”

It is believed the man involved in the tragedy was from the local area.

The man’s death has been reported to the South Lincolnshire Coroner and an inquest is expected to be held at a future date.

Evidence of the high regard for Lee Addison, both as a sportsman and student, came in the summer of 2016 when he was awarded a Talented Student Bursary.

The award was made by the Parents and Friends Association at Sir John Gleed School before it became part of the South Lincolnshire Academies Trust last September when it was renamed Spalding Academy.

Lee said: “I didn’t know what the bursary was at the time and I remember shaking hands with the head teacher, PTA members and then pictures were taken.

“Afterwards, I found out that the head of PE had nominated me for the PTA Award because he thought it could help me progress.”

At the time of the award, a school spokesman said: “Lee’s commitment and determination to succeed, alongside his talent, made 
him an outstanding choice for the award and the PFA is pleased to have supported Lee.”

Ian Billinghurst, behavioural lead manager at Spalding Academy, said: “Lee has worked extremely hard in his athletics to achieve and surpass his potential.

“He is committed to training, rain or shine, and takes this seriously by coming to athletics events after school.

“I know that Lee follows the lead of famous sports stars before him and sometimes sacrifices what normal teenagers do to attend extra training sessions and events.

“During the athletics season at school, Lee always attends after-school clubs where he helps and supports his peers by giving them advice on how to improve their own techniques and performances.

“The younger students look up to Lee because he’s very humble, he is respected by his peers and is an excellent role model for our students.

“Lee has been well-supported by the school and we are immensely proud of his achievements so far, not only representing the school in athletics but also participating in football and rugby.

“We are sure that if Lee continues to progress as he has done over the past couple of years, he will continue to break records and ultimately achieve his goals.”

To his classmates at Spalding Academy (formerly Sir John Gleed School), Year 10 student Lee Addison (15) is known as “the kid who runs quickly”.

But the member of Nene Valley Harriers Athletics Club (NVHAC) may, in time, belong to a more exclusive club occupied by some of Britain’s finest athletes of all time.

Mary Rand, Dame Mary Peters, Daley Thompson, Judy Simpson, Dean Macey, Denise Lewis, Kelly Sotherton, Louise Hazel, Katarina Johnson-Thompson and, perhaps most famous of all, Jessica Ennis-Hill mastered up to ten trades in track and field.

Lee said: “I enjoy athletics quite a lot but after a while, it does get quite repetitive which is why I like doing a variety of events.

“Everything I do in athletics helps me in other sports like football and, at the moment, I see it as something fun to do.

“When I think about things too much and take athletics too seriously, I won’t do as well.

“That’s why the sport is something fun for me to do and if I get a medal that’s a bonus.”

The fun and bonuses earned by Lee since starting out in athletics two years ago have so far brought him success at district, county, regional and national levels, most notably a long jump bronze medal at the English Schools Championships at Gateshead International Stadium in July.

Lee said: “A few weeks before the English Schools Championships, I went to train in Boston and my coach told me to buy a pair of spikes to help me improve on my run-up.

“So the school bought me a pair of spikes and my coach said ‘Take a certain amount of steps, then run and jump’.

“After measuring the jump, I was told that I’d jumped 6.08m and so my coach thought I could win the English Schools Championships.

“But I never thought that and when I competed in the Lincolnshire County Championships, I only jumped 6m which I wasn’t happy with because I fouled the next two jumps.

“Then three weeks before the English Schools Champ-ionships, I jumped 6.24m in Norwich to win the Anglian Schools Championships and go to Gateshead ranked third in the country.

“So when I signed up for the nations, I said to myself ‘I should get a medal’.”

When the dust finally settled on the 2016 English Schools Athletics Championships, Lee was among a select trio of NVHAC athletes who came back from Gateshead with medals.

Alongside Lee’s bronze medal in the junior boys long jump, the club also won silver in the intermediate boys 200m through Spalding Grammar School sprinting prospect William Hughes and a gold in the intermediate girls shot put from the Geoff Capes-trained, Lincoln-based prodigy Hannah Molyneaux.

Recalling the long jump final, Lee said: “I remember thinking ‘if I can get just one good jump in, I’d be happy with that.

“But I saw Daley Thompson in the stands and that made me do better, good enough so that I ended up getting a bronze medal. I was happy to get it, 
although I felt that I could have won it.”

Lee’s coach, Spalding High School-based Arthur Simmonds, would have told him that he should have won gold based on his performance at an East Anglian League meeting in Cambridge where he jumped 6.47, good enough to have taken the English Schools’ title by eight centimetres.

Lee said: “I got into athletics accidentally when I was in a PE lesson and the teacher said ‘run and jump’.

“I jumped 5.50m which surprised my teacher, so he told me to do it again and I went a little further.

“Then my teacher entered me in a competition which I won, going on to win every competition I went in for.

“After that, I tried the high jump which I’d never done before, but my teacher entered me for a competition where the field event marshals kept putting the heights and I kept clearing them.

“I remember winning a competition against a guy who was 6ft 3in where we both broke the Year 8 record of 1.62m.

“He’d jumped 1.59m, I followed him and then we moved up to the next height of 1.62m which we both cleared.

“But when they moved the bar up to the next height, he failed it and I cleared it which was when I decided that I wanted to do the high jump and long jump more often.”

Lee’s exploits in his first full season as a NVHAC member resulted in him being nominated in the Outstanding Sporting Achievement category at the 2016 Lincolnshire Free Press and Spalding Guardian Education Awards.

Such recognition, with Lee ending up as a certificate-winning finalist in the category, were far from his mind two years earlier.

That was until the joint influences of Spalding Academy PE teachers Martin Lakin and John Stewart guided Lee towards linking up with Simmonds whose coaching skills laid the foundation for ex-Spalding High School student Charlotte Taylor to earn world triathlon glory at under-20 level in 2013 and European cross country team gold in Italy last year.

Lee said: “Arthur is the reason I began athletics and why I went to the track in Boston to give it a try.

“I get along with Arthur and I don’t see him as a coach, but as a friend because he knows me best and he’s trying to help me.

“The first year I trained with him was in 2014 when I got a county record in the high jump and won county titles in the high jump and long jump.

“At that time, I also did cross country and the 800m where I won races by quite a distance.

“I knew all my competitions so I ran the first 400m very hard and I was so far ahead, that I could relax for the second 800m.

“But I remember one race where I ran so quickly that my legs were tired and, with the wind in my face, two runners came past me before the finish line.

“That’s when I learned about race strategy and take the race gradually which meant that I could win races by 60m to 80m.”

In one race, Lee took on and beat an existing NVH athlete while a club coach was watching which led to an invitation for him to join the club.

“I was quite tall for my age when all the other lads were quite small,” Lee said.

“But in one race, I was on another runner’s shoulders and when I tried to kick away, he kicked as well and ended up winning the race.

“That’s when I realised that I could only go so far in my running and that’s when I started doing a lot of other events in PE.

“I started beating bigger lads than myself in the shot put, so my teacher asked ‘why don’t you try doing combined events?’”

Before the switch to pentathlon, however, Lee won his first-ever title at the 2015 Anglian Schools Championships in Peterborough where he jumped 5.26m to win the long jump.

Lee said: “I was in Year 8 and I’d come second in the county championships.

“But competing against Year 9 students in Peterborough, I jumped 5.26m with my final attempt.

“Before the jump, I can remember thinking that if I could just get a few more centimetres on my distance, I can win it.

“So I forgot about my run-up, went at it as hard as I could and jumped as high as I could.

“At the event, anyone who won or came second went up to the stands to get their medal and that was my first-ever medal.

“Then I won the South Lincolnshire Cross Country Championships but afterwards I thought ‘should I do distance running or should I do the long jump and high jump?’.

“In the end, I thought my standards for the 800m were good but my standards for long jumping were better.”

After finishing tenth in his first pentathlon (80m hurdles, high jump, long jump, shot put and 800m) at the Anglian Schools’ Combined Events Championships in Chelmsford in June 2015, Lee improved to come fifth in the same competition in Peterborough last year.

But after coming 15th in the English Schools Combined Events Championships in Exeter last September, Lee said: “I thought that I could have done a lot better, even though I did a personal best of 12.96secs in the 80m hurdles.

“In everything I’ve done, I’ve looked at certain athletes and said ‘I want to be better than them’.

“Whatever I do, I don’t want to lose and if I do so one time then I want to come back and beat my competitor the next time.

“This year, I want to get an international vest because when I went to the English Schools Championships, the organisers said ‘This is the best year of athletes we’ve ever had’.

“If I can beat the high jumpers and long jumpers from the year I’m in, I can get an international vest.

“But I’m not sure if I’ll do athletics in the future, it depends on whether I can continue to develop and improve.”

Football and baking are lining up at a game and for a good cause in Spalding next Saturday.

Spalding United supporter and mascot Peter Bailey (ten) will be urging Tulips fans to support the town’s players against Derbyshire side Belper Town in a match which starts at 3pm on March 18.

But spectators for both clubs will also be asked to dig deep for Peter’s Great Bake Sale at pitchside which is raising money ahead of World Autism Awareness Week from March 27 to April 2.

The event has been brought forward a week from its original date and Peter said: “We’ll have a table at the side of the pitch and some collection boxes where people can give to the National Autistic Society.

“We would like to see lots and lots of people please to come along and support us, while watching the best team in the whole world at the same time.”

Peter, a pupil at Gosberton House Academy, was given VIP treatment by the football club as the star mascot for their game against Newcastle Town last November when he led the team out onto the pitch.

Jo Bailey, Peter’s grandmother, said: “He’s very excited and looking forward to the Great Bake Sale and we’d like to thank everyone at Spalding United for all they have done in allowing us to have it.”

A Spalding United spokesman said: “When we heard of Peter’s plan to hold a bake sale at our home match next Saturday to support the National Autistic Society’s World Autism Awareness Week campaign, the football club was delighted to say ‘Yes’.

“Peter will be in attendance with his nan Jo between 1.30pm and 5pm when he is hoping to sell out of his home-baked treats and raise as much funds as possible for the National Autistic Society.

“As well as his baked goodies, Peter will also have a Guess The Bear’s Name competition and a How Many Sweets In The Jar promotion, bound to be a favourite amongst the Tulips players.

“Already assured of legendary status at the Sir Halley Stewart Playing Field and beyond for his infectious enthusiasm, joy and willingness to help whenever he can, Peter is one of those special people who leave others feeling better having simply been in his presence.

“We wish Peter the very best of luck in his fund-raising efforts for the National Autistic Society and look forward to buying and munching some of his baked goodies on Saturday, March 18.

Soccer mascot Peter has day to remember at Spalding United

A whistleblower wants authorities to stamp out sales of illegal cigarettes, booze and fake designer brands on social media in Spalding.

Vodka at £11 a bottle, tobacco sold loose from a clear plastic bag, medicines, and counterfeit items bearing the names of Nike, Armani and Superdry are just some of the ‘bargains’ found over the last few days on two popular Facebook sites.

The whistleblower, who has handed his findings to Lincolnshire Trading Standards over several months, says the same names appear over and again as sellers.

Some cigarettes are cheap but known brands while others, it is feared, are fakes that fail to comply to self-extinguish standards like those linked to the deaths of four people in Spalding house fires – one in 2012 when a woman of 71 perished and a second last year when three men died in the same fire.

The whistleblower told us: “I just think that by highlighting this issue, it will make more people aware about the dangers of purchasing fake or illicit goods as well as letting the people selling these items know that, hopefully, a new crackdown will now happen.

“Items for sale have included tobacco products in bulk, bottles of vodka, also in bulk, as well as beers by the case.

“I have also seen for sale fake designer clothing on these same social media sales pages.”

“When the person selling was questioned online about if they were real or fake they admitted they were, indeed, fakes.”

He believes most of the tobacco products advertised are illicit, costing the UK more than £2billion a year in unpaid duty.

“Not only are they most probably illicit but also they could be putting the health of those who choose to smoke them in danger because of the unknown,” he said.

One brand of cigarettes is for sale at £45 for 200, some £50 below the normal retail price.

Bottles of vodka are offered at £11, giving buyers around a £9 saving on the usual price in the shops.

The whistleblower says: “This not only costs the UK more than £1.2billion per year in lost revenue but, with many items not legitimate, do we really know what we are drinking is safe.”

Fake clothing sees so called Armani EA7 hoodies costing £12 when the true retail item costs more than £90.

The true cost of a genuine Michael Kors handbag can range from £92 to £270 but on a Spalding Facebook site the fake item sells for as little as £25.

The whistleblower is also worried by a seller listing medicines “which are clearly not labelled for the UK market” and believes that could pose a danger to people who buy them.

County trading standards public protection manager Ian Newell said officials are concerned about illegal sales on social media and does all it can to have sites “taken down” as well as issuing warnings to sellers.

He said: “Last year in Lincolnshire there were about 12 sites taken down, of which seven had tobacco and alcohol implications.

“Since 2012 trading standards have had 94 completed prosecutions and about one-third of those involved tobacco and alcohol – six of those prosecutions were for offences on social media, Facebook or equivalent.”

Mr Newell said three of the prosecutions for offences on social media led to proceeds of crime confiscations.

In the biggest case dealt with by his department, the seller of counterfeit DVDs had to pay back proceeds of crime totalling more than £100,000.

Trading standards have issued repeated warnings about the risk of fires from non self-extinguishing cigarettes and Mr Newell is concerned they remain on sale in South Holland when Spalding has experienced four tragic deaths in house fires started by the fakes.

Mr Newell says the bulk of sales of illegal products still appear to be concentrated in the High Street, including shops where raids have uncovered sophisticated hides for counterfeit goods like cigarettes.

A lawnmower and pressure washer were stolen from two sheds in Surfleet at the weekend.

The items, including a Karcher-brand pressure washer, were taken after the sheds were broken into outside a house in Wood’s Lane between Friday and Monday, March 3 and 6.

Police are advising people to check that sheds and outbuildings are locked and surrounding areas well-lit.

Anyone with information should call 101.

Goods were stolen from a garden shed near Bourne Leisure Centre at the weekend.

There is a possibility that a wheelie bin was used to take the goods away and anyone with information should call 101.

Summer play times will be more exciting at Long Sutton Primary School thanks to nearly £10,000 of lottery cash.

New equipment, including a ‘trim trail’ and rubber flooring, will be installed at the school next month ready for children to use during the summer term.

The school was handed a grant from the Big Lottery Fund through its Awards for All England programme to replace existing equipment that was considered to be unsafe.

Head teacher Bill Lord said: “The trim trail will provide a much-needed play space for our Foundation Stage and Key Stage One children.

“It will include a tyre challenge, balance beams, net traverse, inclined balance, Burma bridge and swinging steps.

“Whilst aimed primarily at children as a play area, it will also benefit them in developing their hand-eye co-ordination and encourage them to be active at break times.”

It is the seventh time a group of organisation in Long Sutton has benefited from Big Lottery Fund cash since November 2010 and in that time, just over £42,500 has been given out to six different causes.

Mr Lord said: “Long Sutton Primary School is so grateful to Awards for All England, part of the Big Lottery Fund, for this award which will have a significant impact on the daily lives of the children in our infants’ department.

“We are very grateful for the support in placing the bid from Inspire+, the Grantham-based sports charity, without whom it was not certain that we would be successful.”

The school was also successful in gaining a separate £1,000 grant from the Grange Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund for an outdoor learning area, with workstations, orienteering course and educational fire pit.

Funding has been provided to the school by Renewable Energy Systems (RES) Ltd, the developer of the wind farm between Sutton Bridge and Tydd St Mary which opened in April 2013.

Mr Lord said: “At a time of shrinking budgets, charitable donations and grants are absolutely vital in providing resources for our children.”

The school is ready for an active summer term after a recent talk by runner Ben Smith who completed 401 marathons in 401 days last year.

Mr Lord said: “We are now looking at other ways of increasing the educational provision we offer for the children in other areas of education.”

James Harcourt, Big Lottery Fund England Grant-making Director, said: “This is a great example of the types of community-led projects we love to see.

“Thanks to National Lottery players, this funding will support local people to bring about positive changes in their communities and improve their lives for the future.”
