The signature of a 19th century carpenter and joiner has been uncovered for the first time in nearly 130 years.

Joseph Twelvetrees made his mark on an internal wall of a building at the corner of Victoria Street and Station Street, Spalding, now occupied by Ernvale House Dentistry.

The business is being refurbished room by room and Joseph’s signature – dated September 16, 1888 – was behind a cabinet and a strip of wood fixed to the wall in a room now used by hygienist Erika Ayres.

Practice manager Emma Scott hit the history trail, delving into census records and found that J Twelvetrees had the first name Joseph, worked as a carpenter and joiner and lived in St Thomas’s Road, Spalding.

She also discovered Joseph was born in 1838 but hasn’t yet found out when he died.

Emma said: “The signature looks as though it was written in charcoal or some form of black ink.”

Ernvale House Dentistry is owned by Andre Bergh and plans are being made to preserve Joseph’s signature – perhaps behind glass – so that today’s and future generations of patients can see it when they visit.

Even before the signature was found by Graham Hicks, who is refurbishing the property, Emma had been looking into the history of the building and believes Joseph’s name may have been written as the building was being constructed.

In the latter part of the 19th century and early part of the 20th century, the building was a piano and furniture dealers run by Alfred Cole, and had a large sign facing Station Street. Later it was occupied by dentist Albert McDonald and false teeth maker Walter Forman – Walter also had a practice in Spilsby.

A new chapter has started for Pinchbeck Library now it has re-opened with an enthusiastic army of volunteers.

The official re-opening ceremony takes place at the library in Knight Street on Tuesday, but doors opened this week for volunteers to get familiar with how things will work.

Barbara Camps, clerk to Pinchbeck Parish Council which formed a library committee to take over the running of the services, said: “It’s fantastic to be back open.

“The library is a lifeline for many people and so important to the village.”

Among the guests at the re-opening ceremony will be Coun William Webb, chairman of Lincolnshire County Council, and local county councillor Elizabeth Sneath, who is on the library committee.

Pinchbeck Library, which has been closed since September, is the latest to re-open with volunteers after Lincolnshire County Council decided to target libraries in cuts aimed at saving £2million.

Not only is Pinchbeck Parish Council continuing with the provision of the library services, the other rooms in the building are available for letting for meetings, training sessions, exercise classes, painting classes, flower arranging and many other uses.

Opening hours will be similar to when the library was previously open, but they are extended on a Wednesday to 5pm. For more information or to book a meeting room, call 01775 724348 or 723838 or email pinchbeckparish@btconnect.com

Officers searching for Market Deeping man Graeme Mutton, who went missing last week, have found a body.

This morning (November 30) a Lincolnshire Police spokesman said: “At around 12.30pm on Saturday, November 29, officers involved in the search for missing man Graeme Mutton located a body at Greetwell Quarry in Lincoln. The death is not believed to be suspicious.

“Formal identification has taken place and next of kin have been made aware. A file is being prepared for the coroner.”

Mr Mutton, 41, was reported missing on November 24.

One can only admire Shirley Giles for continuing her fight against the proposed second combined cycle gas turbine power station at Sutton Bridge.

In this David and Goliath struggle, who are the Philistines Goliath is representing?

On Wednesday, November 4, a balmy windless day over most of the UK, the unexpected temporary shut down of two major generation stations forced National Grid to activate its emergency strategy to prevent power outages.

Major business consumers were asked to shut down early and power was bought in from Ireland at a price 40 times higher than the normal cost per unit.

The margin of capacity over potential demand for electricity is only 1.5 per cent.

Only one of the 10 largest coal burning power stations producing 23 per cent of the UK electricity has been fitted with the necessary equipment (at a cost of £250 million per unit) to clean up the emissions from burning ‘dirty’ British coal, some 90 per cent of their fuel feedstock.

Clean coal is available at a low price (£30 a tonne) from Columbia and Kazakhstan.

The date for stopping burning dirty coal has been brought forward to January 2016.

The carbon fuel floor tax is to almost double in early 2016. The UK is desperately short of power generation capacity.

For all politicians, their prime responsibility lies in satisfying the needs of the wider community.

The UK planning law and process too often gives parity or priority for the private benefit of the few over the demonstrable needs of the wider local community and national interest.

Any development change or proposal will erode someone’s real or imagined rights.

In a democratic society, private benefit for the few must be carefully evaluated against the greater benefit of national interest.

A fair compensation scheme to alleviate for the loss of private benefit may well be necessary but the greatest good of the greatest number must prevail.

The ‘not in my backyard’ approach to planning should never be regarded, on its own, as a sufficient reason for refusing planning consent.

Judicial review cannot overturn a planning decision that accords with due process, but only demand that the process be done again, this time properly.

For Mrs Giles, the second power station at Sutton Bridge remains a major issue, but it is trivial compared to the far greater issues the PM of our country has to face daily.

The correspondence officer erred in not referring Mrs Giles’ letter to the Department of Trade and Industry, as well as the Department of Energy and Climate Change.

Straight talking and honesty in politics does mean occasionally explaining and justifying to an elector why they cannot support their burning issue.

Being all things to all men at all times does not encourage respect for or trust in the integrity of the political process.

It would seem Goliath is representing all those households and businesses that will suffer from power outages or face higher energy expenditures to cover the cost of avoiding outages.

Nigel Wickenden asks me directly in your pages what more MP John Hayes, as minister for Security, could do following the Paris terror attacks on Friday, November 13, to reassure the public, other than, I assume, turn up on a Radio Tulip roadshow the following day.

I hope you’ll allow my reply because that is a good question. You see, I served 23 years at sea in Royal Navy ships, circa 1963 to 1986, defending the realm: and I can tell your readers that on several occasions, when even the slightest threat was perceived against our national security, all leave was cancelled and we were ordered to return onboard to exercise preparedness.

So when a full-blown terrorist attack takes place in Paris, directed at our nearest and closest EU/Nato neighbour, may I be forgiven for assuming that certain alarm bells involving UK national security would have been ringing, and, if so, then surely a re-called Minister for Security would have been at his desk the very next day, digesting what, if any, were the implications for UK security, rather than taking part in a radio roadshow.

It seems in the eyes of some, however, that this assumption may be totally wrong; because things are done differently nowadays... and there is no need to recall the Minister of Security and call him to account and that we should all keep calm.

Today’s headline in one national newspaper (Daily Express) proclaims ‘Now we face jihadi missile attack’.

Against this current background, some people, like Mr Wickenden, may well believe that Mr Hayes has everything under control.

Sorry Mr Wickenden, but I don’t – and I will continue to call him and others to account.

Meanwhile, I’m still awaiting a reply from Mr Hayes to the letter I sent him about current airport security operations, specifically highlighting the possibility of terrorists infiltrating on-site catering/logistics supply and baggage handling commercial operations.

Finally, as an old sailor, I can tell your readers with certainty... that if a ship was in any sort of danger, you’d be unlikely to find the skipper playing bingo with the passengers.

Spalding could completely lose its Christmas street market for 2015 after organisers pulled the plug on the event due to take place yesterday (Sunday).

Spalding town centre manager Dennis Hannant will be in talks with council officials tomorrow (Tuesday), and admits scrapping the Christmas market altogether is one of three options being considered.

Mr Hannant says rescheduling for another Sunday “could be difficult due to the time required (13 weeks) to notify the public of road closures”.

The only other possibility being looked at is beefing up one of Spalding’s normal Saturday markets so Christmas stalls could be sited at Bridge Street, Red Lion Quarter and Sheep Market.

The Christmas market was called off shortly before 6.30pm on Saturday when Mr Hannant sent an email out saying the decision had been taken due to forecast high winds, with 30-45mph gusts, and rain.

Meanwhile the Sunday Christmas market went ahead in Sleaford, around 25 miles away.

Christmas florist Paul Foyster was planning to have a stall at Spalding’s Christmas market and says – as things turned out – the weather was okay and it could have gone ahead.

He said: “I am really cross at the Met Office, especially all this about calling little storms names because it tends to frighten people.

“We have stood on markets that have been in weather a lot worse than that of Sunday in Spalding.”

He’s also disappointed to learn the market may not go ahead at all, there may be a 13 week wait or the Christmas stalls could join up with a Saturday market.

“Obviously there’s no point in having it in 13 weeks’ time,” he said. “It’s not exactly going to be a Christmas market. If they are going to do it, I would have thought they would need to do it on a Sunday because there’s also the question of entertainment. The ordinary market in Spalding isn’t terribly entertaining.”

Mr Foyster said any traders with perishable stock planning to attend Spalding’s Christmas market would be out of pocket – and it’s not unknown for them to lose hundreds of pounds when a market is cancelled.

He and wife Sue will be attending the Holbeach Christmas market this Sunday. If Spalding’s event had been switched to the same day, the couple would have tried to cover both events.

Spalding florists Flowers ‘n’ Things opened specially on Sunday for the Christmas market, having planned their staffing in advance, and learned off the cancellation too late to change anything.

Partner Anna Avery said trade was “quiet”.

She said: “There were a few people in the coffee shop. Several people enjoyed lunch and mulled wine.

“It was disappointing but you can’t blame anyone, can you?

“We have had windier days, haven’t we? It was unfortunate.”

She said Flowers ‘n’ things won’t open again for a rescheduled Christmas market although it will open on the last Sunday before Christmas, December 20.

One Spalding Guardian reader told us she was disappointed Sunday’s event didn’t go ahead.

She said: “Lincoln has a Christmas market but I want to attend one in my home town. I love our Christmas market.”

HEALTH MATTERS: By Jenny Hinchliffe, Head of Clinical Services for the South at Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust

The colder weather has started and the Christmas festive period is drawing ever closer.

Our staff at Johnson Community Hospital remain busy and there is much planning under way for the expected additional winter pressures.

But I am now turning my attention to you – have you started to plan for the winter for you and your family?

The message across the NHS this winter is that patients are being asked to choose well. This means thinking about what services are available to you rather than going straight to A&E.

This could be your GP, an urgent care centre, walk-in centre and your local pharmacy.

The minor injuries unit here at Johnson Community Hospital will treat people with injuries such as sprains, cuts and grazes, broken bones, bites and stings. It is open 8am until 6pm seven days a week.

Your pharmacist is a trained health professional who can provide free advice on the best treatment for a wide range of illnesses and minor ailments.

Before the bad weather gets worse and the winter ailments start doing the rounds, be prepared by keeping a well-stocked medicine cabinet at home.

If you take repeat medication, you should request your repeat prescriptions in good time to ensure you have adequate supplies for the festive period. During December, GPs are happy to take early requests for repeat prescriptions.

Wherever you celebrate the festivities this year, I would like to wish you a very happy Christmas and a healthy new year.

About 150 of South Holland’s business leaders celebrated the best in innovation, entrepreneurial spirit and customer care in the area.

The third annual South Holland Business Awards was held at the Springfields Event Centre.

Phil Scarlett, president of the Spalding and District Chamber of Commerce, said: “The awards once again showcased the outstanding level of innovation and services being developed across our diverse and growing area.

“The competition was stronger than ever and it is a significant achievement to have been honoured today. The standard of entries meant that it was difficult in most cases to clearly identify the winner, which is why we have decided to recognise entries that narrowly failed to win a category by awarding them a highly commended or commended.”

Simon Beardsley, chief executive of the Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce, said: “The sheer cross section of applicants for the business awards highlights the breadth of businesses in the South Holland area – from major companies to SMEs.

The awards served as a celebration of the most inspiring examples of how South Holland businesses and organisations are performing, innovating and developing their staff whilst also making a contribution to the community. Speaker Major John Mayo entertained the audience with tales of military life from Norway to the Falklands.

Praise for success of ceremony to reward businesses

After the awards, chief executive of the event sponsors praised the evening as a great success.

Joe Verde, of PSP IT,based in Elsoms Way, Pinchbeck, said: “Winning the Business of The Year Award last year, gave PSP an excellent platform to promote what we do and win new business.

And I’d like to thank the Spalding Business Chamber for the opportunity to get involved as this year’s headline sponsor, allowing us to give something back and help grow this event further.

It was a fantastic evening that really celebrated Spalding’s vibrant and diverse business community.

Big congratulations to all the winners from all at PSP.”

Chamber president Phil Scarlett said: “The Spalding District Chamber would like to say thank you to PSP IT and all the sponsor of our different awards.”

Brian Hill’s dominance of the table tennis VETTS Masters series continues.

He has been crowned the Eastern Masters champion in Norwich, extending his run of singles victories to nine from nine tournaments.

This latest success also means Brian has won all three Masters singles events this year.

In the singles final Brian defeated old rival Peter Radford 7,-6, 7, -10, 11 in a close tussle to claim the title at the University of East Anglia.

Meanwhile, there was further success as he won the over 60s doubles.

With regular partner Roy Norton not in attendance, Brian teamed up with Derek Holman and they defeated David Bowles and John Williamson 6, -9, 11, -9, 8 in the final.

Brian, from Wyberton, also reached the final of the over 60s singles - after beating Radford a little more comfortably in the semis - but was defeated in the final by number one seed Brian Johns.

“I was chuffed to win the singles and to also win the doubles after coming down an age group,” said Brian, 71.

Next up will be the Southwrn Masters in Crawley, with Brian looking to extend his winning streak in the singles.

Women with cancer can lose so much more than their health.

As a result of the treatment they might lose their hair, their eyebrows and lashes, and their skin can dry out and become sensitive.

Understandably, that can lead to women losing their body confidence and feeling less willing to go out.

Now health and wellness enthusiast Jo Esdale – who runs Essential Well-Being – is planning to run free masterclasses to educate women in that situation about what they can do to help themselves look and feel better.

They are being run for the charity Look Good Feel Better and will be held at Jo’s new clinic at 9 London Road, Spalding.

The first one is being held on January 15 and the clinic will provide all the gentle, mineral-free products used during the class and give participants a trial size to take away – it is up to them if they would like to buy more.

Jo, who will be leading the sessions with clinic manager Michelle Parker, says Look Good Feel Better is currently running workshops in hospitals in Peterborough and King’s Lynn. However, she says: “What I don’t like about that is you have to go to the place where you are getting chemotherapy.

“The chemotherapy changes your skin completely, makes it feel dry, sore, sensitive and uncomfortable and if you use your normal products it can make your skin even more sore.

“We’ll talk to women about how to care for their skin, and give them nutrition, exercise and make-up advice. We’ll teach them to recognise their eyebrow shape and re-create it naturally.”

Jo has been helping women to look and feel better since she joined the industry in 1990, first working at home until she moved into the Vine Street clinic three years ago.

Since then the team has grown, prompting the move to the former bed and breakfast premises.

The larger premises will allow the clinic to extend the range of treatments and therapies on offer and a courtyard garden will allow space for summer out-of-doors workshops.

Contact the clinic on 01775 249425 for more information about the masterclasses.

Jo Esdale offers bespoke treatments to clients using ‘face mapping’ to identify problems on different areas of the face and try to find out what’s causing them.

For instance congestion under the skin along the hairline and eyebrows might be as a result of the shampoo that is being used, or it could be due to poor digestion.

If the skin of the cheeks is sensitive, has broken capillaries or breakouts, there could be allergies or sinus problems, or it might be due to ingredients in make-up.

Jo will talk to clients about their lifestyle to try to identify triggers in conjunction with a treatment, to tackle problems from the inside and outside.

Jo also works with people suffering from stress, anxiety and illness, using therapies that work on the physical, emotional and spiritual level.

UCL Premier Division: Rothwell Corinthians 1, Deeping Rangers 4

A Scott Coupland double helped Rangers climb into the top five after Saturday’s UCL Premier Division clash.

Skipper Spencer Tinkler put Rangers ahead after 14 minutes to send their struggling hosts sliding towards their second successive home defeat.

The visitors’ lead was doubled by Jack Cotton three minutes before half-time.

And victory was as good as confirmed when Coupland added a third for Deeping after 71 minutes.

Dom Page did manage a consolation for Corinthians three minutes later.

But Coupland’s 15th goal of the season, with nine minutes left on the clock, completed the scoring.

Deeping Rangers: Danny Bircham, Matt Porter (Matt Carter), Tom Smith, David Burton-Jones, Jack Cotton, Luke Hunnings, Dan Flack, Spencer Tinkler, Jezz Goldson-Williams (Luke Avis), Scott Coupland, Jason Kilbride (Will Bird).

* Deeping Rangers are back home tonight (Tuesday) against Boston Town in the Lincolnshire FA Senior Trophy quarter-final after a couple of postponements.

This means the scheduled Premier Division derby with Holbeach United has been rearranged for next Tuesday.

* Deeping Rangers Reserves slumped to a disastrous 11-0 defeat to Moulton Harrox Reserves in the Peterborough League Premier Division.

Rangers Reserves were up against a team which have won every games this season and they continued that run in some style.

There were hat-tricks for Ian Bradbury and Ryan Wheeler while both Joe Townsend and substitute Oliver Maltby netted twice as Moulton made it 13 straight wins.

Rangers’ second string travel to mid-table Ketton on Saturday.

STAR MAN: Paul Walker

UCL Division 1: Potton United 0, Bourne Town 1

The Wakes stunned promotion-chasing Potton on their home patch in Saturday’s UCL Division 1 clash in Bedfordshire.

Bourne battled throughout and their efforts were rewarded right at the death.

Kieran Blanchard’s goal two minutes into time added on at the end of the match proved decisive to give the visitors an impressive victory.

It was sweet revenge for The Wakes after suffering defeat at the hands of Potton at the Abbey Lawn back in October.

Bourne host Thrapston on Saturday.

* Bourne Town Reserves were beaten at home by impressive league leaders Rushden and Higham United Reserves at the weekend.

The Wakes’ second string were hoping to close the gap on the top four with a shock victory but they slipped to a narrow 2-1 defeat.

Evo-Stik Northern Premier League First Division South: Rugby Town 1, Spalding United 1

On the day former non-league player Jamie Vardy set a new Premiership scoring record, Paul Walker bagged a goal to earn the Tulips a valuable Evo-Stik League Division One South point at Rugby Town.

And the point won at a windswept and rain drenched Butlin Road ensured Tulips remain unbeaten in five league games since the start of Marcus Ebdon’s reign as manager.

Such were the conditions, with the elements continuing throughout and the pitch becoming heavier, both teams deserve credit for combining to give the 147 spectators a thrilling game to watch.

The home team played well above their fourth from bottom league spot and made the Tulips battle all the way in an energy-sapping encounter.

Play was continually from end to end. Rugby were first to be tested with Josh Moreman ending a trademark dash down the left side with a low cross-shot which man-of-the-match Paul Walker just failed to connect with at the far post.

At the other end a free kick by Kevin Thornton from just outside the area flashed inches with of Michael Duggan’s left side post. Shortly afterwards another Moreman effort was cleared off the home goalline.

The Tulips enjoyed considerable possession and were near to taking the lead. Sam Murphy saw a good effort deflected for a corner and goalkeeper Sam Andrew, Rugby’s ninth ‘keeper of the season – signed a few days earlier from Goole, saved bravely at the foot of a post with Jake Newman ready to pounce.

The stalemate was ended on the stroke of half time with the hard working and impressive Paul Walker on hand at the far post to knock in Adam Jackson’s cross from the left.

Despite no let-up in the dismal weather conditions in the second half, the level of commitment from players did not deteriorate with play continuing to switch rapidly from end to end.

Rugby finally got the goal their efforts deserved on the hour with the tricky and speedy Callum Powell’s shot, buffeted by the strong wind, spooning out of Michael Duggan’s hands into the roof of the net.

The game opened up following this with Rugby’s Mason Rowley doing well to cut out a dangerous Walker cross and shortly after roles were reversed with the Tulips’ star man Walker blocking a Rowely header on the line.

Tulips: Michael Duggan, Paul Walker, Adam Jackson, Neal Spafford, Nathan Stainfield, Sam Murphy, Dan Banister, Dan Lawlor, Jake Newman, Josh Moreman, Mitch Griffiths (Tom Waumsley 75 mins).

Subs (not used) Ellis Humble, Charley Sanders.

UCL Premier Division: Holbeach United 5, Harborough Town 0

Holbeach bounced back from their disappointing FA Vase exit to inflict a first defeat in seven on the Bees.

It took 38 minutes for the Tigers to break the deadlock with a Jake Clitheroe goal.

Two minutes later Lee Beeson doubled the lead, expertly converting a spot kick he had won himself.

The outcome was all but settled two minutes into first half added time when Jordan Thomas found the net for number three.

Beeson doubled his personal tally after 73 minutes and Gary King completed the nap hand a minute into time added at the end to round off a dominant display.

Third-placed Holbeach will be confident of another three points on Saturday when travel to UCL premier division strugglers Oadby Town.

Tulips’ boss Marcus Ebdon praised his team as they kept up their unbeaten start to his reign with a useful point at improving Rugby Town.

Spalding had to cope with driving wind and rain as well as a heavy pitch four days after their hard-fought victory over fellow high-fliers Coalville Town.

And Ebdon was pleased with the effort of his team, who led through Paul Walker’s goal only to be pegged back.

He said: “I was happy with a point because Rugby are not a bad side.

“Our energy levels were not as high as they have been after a tough game on Tuesday and the pitch was not in the best condition.

“And they are a decent side who have come on leaps and bounds in recent weeks.”

The Tulips were hoping for a fifth straight league win at Butlin Road against a side just four places off the bottom in Evo-Stik Northern Premier Division 1 South.

And they were on course for three points when Walker converted Adam Jackson’s cross. But Callum Powell levelled with a shot which proved too hot to handle for keeper Michael Duggan.

“Paul Walker did really well for us - he scored one and could have scored another,” said Ebdon.

“The back four were good and Dan Banister had a decent game in midfield.

“But it was a good team performance from us.”

The next two games will be a big test for United with fifth-placed Market Drayton Town visiting the Sir Halley Stewart Field on Saturday and the Tulips heading to leaders Stafford Rangers the week after.

Mitch Griffiths came off with a tight hamstring at Rugby and is the only injury doubt for the next match.

Ebdon said: “It’s about the performances at the moment rather than the results.

“We’ll be going for two wins in these next games because we always go out to to win.

“But I will be happy with four points from the two matches.”

Ebdon said he was looking to strengthen his squad, adding: “With Christmas coming up and the heavy pitches we’ll need to bring some in.”

Members of the South Lincs Competitive Swim Club returned from a prestigious meet in Sheffield with an impressive 96 long course personal best performances, four gold medals, a silver and 12 bronze medals.

For many of those taking part from the club it was their first experience of competing in a 50-metre pool, at the ‘Snow Frills’ event at Ponds Forge.

But they were not at all overawed against opposition from across the UK.

Rebecca McKenzie was top performer in a squad with an average age of 11, as she won four gold medals, a silver and five bronze medals.

Last week the Spalding and District League – sponsored by Vital Recruitment – held its annual competition for the Val Mackey Doubles trophy.

In this, entries are paired from the league’s ranking tables - top quarter with bottom, second with third.

The beauty of this event is the pairing of inexperienced players with both stronger and/or more experienced partners and frequently a little coaching is added to the evening’s play.

This year 24 members took part and new winners were guaranteed as neither of last year’s pair attended.

Two groups of six pairs played an all play, all best-of-three ends with the top two pairs going through to the semi-finals.

No one achieved five wins in either group, though both winners took four.

In Group A that was Richard Matthews and Hannah Gilbert while three pairs - Richard Hammond/Tom Coley, Joe Beadle/Dylan Taylor and Garry Wilkinson/Phil Knowles – tied on three.

On countback of results, between them, Beadle and Taylor defeated both rivals and so went through to face the B winners.

That was Keith Davey and James Coote, who scored four and two pairs, Allan Lewis/Andrew Hay and James Gibson/Henry Sharman, tied on three.

The latter won their round robin match and so they progressed to meet Matthews and Gilbert.

Davey and Coote took a close tie with Beadle and Taylor 4-11 12-10 11-9 to reach the final.

Gibson and Sharman progressed more comfortably in their match, winning 11-7, 11-8 against the Matthews/Gilbert pair.

The final was a match worthy of its status.

Played over five legs Davey and Coote took the first, lost the second and third but levelled in the fourth.

They then led 5-2 at the turn round in the fifth, only to have to come back from two match points down to level again.

However Gibson and Sharman held their nerve and won three of the next four points to emerge as winners 5-11 11-5 11-7 9-11 13-11.

Team secretaries are reminded that there are only two matches scheduled for this Wednesday – one match has also been moved forward already.

There is, therefore, room to move matches from January 6, when there is likely to be restricted space, or from anywhere in the second half of the season.
