Message-ID: <4bd55c67-f2d7-83ed-680a-ae2011d22e68@stronsaylimpet.co.uk>

/From OIC Updates:/
Teaching unions are planning further industrial action on 7 December 
which is expected to impact Orkney schools.
These are:
? Wednesday 7 December
? Tuesday 10 January? (primary schools and nurseries)
? Wednesday 11 January (secondary and junior high schools)
? Wednesday 18 January (all schools)
Whilst it is believed the January dates will result in a similar pattern 
of closures as last week - with almost all schools and? many nurseries 
closed - the impact next week is expected to be more restricted, 
impacting mainly on the senior secondary schools, some of the secondary 
classes at Stronsay Junior High School and just one class at Papdale. It 
is possible that in some primary schools, individual classes or groups 
of classes will be at home, while other children and young people are 
able to attend as normal.
On that basis, parents will be contacted directly by schools to inform 
them of their individual arrangements.
For isles students, the Papdale Halls of Residence will remain open. For 
students at KGS or Stromness Academy, who would be expecting to attend 
Orkney College, the college will be open but there will be no school 
transport.
National negotiations involving COSLA, Scottish Government and Trade 
Unions are continuing, and updates with any further information will be 
shared as soon as possible.

Message-ID: <5b5c5357-817d-c0cc-70ac-1236395962bd@stronsaylimpet.co.uk>

/From The Orcadian:/
Airport workers at Highlands and Islands Airports Ltd (HIAL) owned 
airports, including Kirkwall, have voted to take strike action which 
will is likely to cause disruption over the festive period.
Members of the Unite Union, which include fire and rescue, security and 
administration workers, have voted by 73.5 per cent in favour of taking 
the industrial action.
They remain locked in a pay dispute with Scottish Government owned, 
HIAL, which runs eleven airports across the Highlands, Western and 
Northern Isles, including in Kirkwall.
The exact dates of the action are to be confirmed next week.
HIAL have described Unite?s statement as ?unhelpful? providing no 
clarity for airlines or customers to plan ahead of the busy festive 
period, and say they will do all they can to minimise any disruption.

a GP) plus 45% enhancement for 24/7 cover plus Distant Islands Allowance

???????Westray - 18 weeks plus annual and study leave (equates to 23 weeks)

Be a single-handed GP in a wider supportive team of GPs and Nurses.
Be an important part of a small island community.
The Orcades Practice (1,961 patients), which consists of six 
single-handed island practices with GPs and nurses providing 24/7 
healthcare to the smaller remote islands of Orkney.? Weekly 
videoconferences enable clinicians to learn through case discussion, 
offer mutual support and overcome professional isolation. To ensure 
continuity of care clinicians are appointed to one island, working in 
rotation with colleagues.? We work in rotation with colleagues, usually 
for 3 weeks at a time, and are on call 24/7, with support from a 
community nurse.
As a part-time GP you have the advantages of working in one of the 
remote cohesive practices with more time for your patients, seeing them 
in the context of their lives surrounded by beautiful scenery and 
wildlife.? Practitioners either live on island or elsewhere where we can 
work in primary care, hospitals or even refugee camps. The best of both 
worlds?
Spice up your regular GP skills with the challenges of pre-hospital 
emergency care whilst waiting for helicopter evacuation.? Emergency care 
training with standardised equipment and protocols is provided.
The post will appeal to experienced GPs, but also those earlier in their 
careers looking for the challenge of widening their clinical skills and 
providing holistic care in a remote but supported environment. Annual 
and study leave allocations are built in to allow you to acquire and 
maintain those additional skills. Accommodation is provided.
If we have piqued your interest, we'd love to hear from you, and are 
happy to chat about our experiences to see if this might be the job 
you're looking for.? Please contact (01857) 616321 (Stronsay GP), 
(01857) 600221 (Sanday GP) or (01857) 677209 (Westray GP) to hear more.
Shortlisted applicants will be invited to come to Orkney to meet the 
island communities and your new potential colleagues.

Message-ID: <b3f60619-d81a-ad9d-cb20-49a4c9dd935a@stronsaylimpet.co.uk>

/From NHS Orkney:/

NHS Orkney is experiencing the same winter pressures which are being 
felt up and down the country across all health boards.
Our priority is to maintain patient safety and we are seeing a 
higher-than-normal level of staff absence. This is unsurprising 
following the Covid cluster, increasing cases of RSV and staff staying 
at home to look after unwell children.
In order to protect key services, we have had to postpone some surgeries 
which were scheduled for today, and further surgery may be disrupted in 
the days to come. We will notify patients as early as possible and 
understand the frustration this will cause, however this is for 
everyone?s safety. Please be assured we don?t make these decisions lightly.
It is essential our staff are well enough to come to work, especially 
when caring for vulnerable patients. We?re asking you to bear with us - 
we?re all working together to ensure we continue to provide the best 
level of service.
Please help us by continuing to wash your hands frequently and use hand 
sanitiser if out and about. If blowing your nose or coughing, use a 
tissue and dispose of it appropriately immediately. If unwell with 
respiratory symptoms, try to limit your contact with others wherever 
possible.

Subject: [Stronsaylimpet] OIC Updates - yellow weather warning for ice & snow
Message-ID: <18cac49d-1f46-9a87-a99a-dc3d6df82352@stronsaylimpet.co.uk>

 From OIC Updates:
With a yellow weather warning from the Met Office for ice and snow from 
midnight tonight and into tomorrow, we thought it?d be a good time to go 
over some winter driving basics including our gritting operations.
We'll be out and about from late this afternoon carrying out a full 
pre-treatment of Priority 1 routes this evening, followed by a 06:00 
start again tomorrow morning, starting with Priority 1 routes and moving 
onto others as conditions allow.
Make sure you speak to new and inexperienced drivers in your household 
about these important points below, so they can be winter ready:
?? In severe weather, use your judgement on whether or not to travel. It 
goes without saying but always drive to conditions, whether that be 
rain, snow, ice, or fog. Be prepared with a fully charged phone and warm 
weatherproof clothing, drinks and snacks. High viz clothing and signage, 
snow shovel, and torch are other great additions.
?? Always clear all snow and ice from your car before setting off. 
Remember, snow that?s settled on your car can become lethal flying 
objects once you start moving ? so get rid of it.
?? Remember, gritting is not magical. Ice can form even after salting, 
and it can take a while for newly applied salt to do its job. Gritting 
relies in part on traffic to help crush, disperse and activate the salt.
?? Our gritters can?t be everywhere at once. We follow a hierarchy of 
roads ? starting with ?Priority 1? roads which are major roads and 
emergency services access roads. In severe or prolonged icy weather, we 
may be fully occupied keeping Priority 1 routes clear and will only be 
able to move onto other routes and footpaths as conditions allow.
?? If you are travelling at night, be mindful that no gritting routes 
start after 6pm.
?? Don?t be tempted to overtake a gritter - the road ahead may not be 
gritted, nor the other side, and might be slippery.
?? Please, for the safety of our drivers and yours, drive courteously ? 
don?t follow too close behind a gritter or make sudden manoeuvres. Like 
all heavy vehicles, gritters can?t stop in a hurry, even in ideal 
conditions.
?? When driving in snow and ice, use main roads as much as possible, 
even if that means travelling a little further.? Avoid sudden turns or 
harsh braking or acceleration. Drive slowly, in as high a gear as you 
can to help prevent loss of grip/spinning wheels. Allow extra braking 
and stopping distance on snow covered, slushy or icy roads.
?? Remember, in winter, low levels of sunlight means road surface 
temperatures can remain stubbornly low, even if the outside air feels a 
bit warmer. Don?t rely on the temperature gauge in your car to 
accurately indicate true road conditions.
?? What you can do to help our gritting operations go smoothly:
? Park responsibly in bad weather so gritters can carry out their 
important work.
? Report empty grit bins via the 'Report It' link on our website 
www.orkney.gov.uk/reportit.

Message-ID: <429e9305-fb4e-769f-1620-c508be9e5c93@stronsaylimpet.co.uk>

/From OIC updates on Facebook:/
For the third year running, Christmas will come early for many of 
Orkney?s most vulnerable families with a direct payment totalling ?260 
for every child entitled to free school meals.
The Council-administered Scottish Government Bridging Payment, which 
will benefit 249 children in Orkney from P1-S6 (nursery children are not 
eligible), will be paid directly to families before Christmas and those 
receiving it will be able to use it for whatever they need.
This payment is per child and for those families on a low income only ? 
so a family with three eligible children will receive ?780.
Children who receive a free school meal through the universal provision 
are not entitled to this payment.
The Council is urging folk to check to see if they may now be eligible 
for free school meals.
No application for the payment is required if children are already in 
receipt of free school meals due to low income.
Applications for free school meals can be made online via MyOrkney at 
www.orkney.gov.uk/School-Benefit or call the Council's Customer Services 
team on 01856873535 for a paper application form.
The Council is continuing to make payments towards the cost of meals 
throughout the Christmas and Easter holiday periods in 2022/2023 and for 
the last teacher?s strike day for those eligible at the schools that 
were closed. All payments will be made at the same time.

Hi folks, we may have been temporarily removed from the Met Office 
yellow weather warning for snow and ice, but indications are that Orkney 
will be back in the zone come the weekend, along with much of the rest 
of the north of Scotland. ??
Our advice remains the same given how road temperatures can remain 
stubbornly low this time of the year so please continue to drive with 
care, be properly prepared, and park considerately so we can carry out 
gritting operations as required.
We are certainly in the midst of a very chilly spell so please wrap up 
warm if out and about, and it would be great if those of you who are 
able could check in on any vulnerable folk in your lives.

/From David Locke:/
Do join us on the third Sunday of Advent when we light our third Advent 
candle celebrating love - the love God shows for everyone and the love 
we can then share with others, helped by knowing we are loved; indeed 
it's partly how Christmas works best - by sharing where we can. Our 
morning service starts at 11am and the evening carol service at 6pm. All 
our services are informal and people can come and go as they are, but 
this evening service is especially informal with readings and carols, 
and favourite carols being chosen by those present on the night.
Both services are followed by food and drink and chat! Biscuits in the 
morning; mince pies in the evening. All are welcome.

Subject: [Stronsaylimpet] Ferry replacements
Message-ID: <4646d4cb-1fc2-29cc-abdc-16395d1f3037@stronsaylimpet.co.uk>

/From BBC Radio Orkney:/
The cost of replacing Orkney?s inter-island ferries and upgrading piers 
and harbours has been calculated at ?433 million pounds by the Islands 
Council. It will find out on Thursday if the Scottish Government has 
answered Orkney's call for funding when the Scottish budget is announced.
The substantial itemised bill for replacing Orkney's ageing ferry fleet 
and infrastructure has been presented to the Deputy First Minister, and 
interim Finance Secretary John Swinney.
The cost of replacing all of Orkney's current fleet - and an extra 
fourth vessel for the North Isles, totals ?238 million pounds. 
Modernising the pier and harbour infrastructure is calculated at another 
?156 million. Add another ten percent for inflation and it all adds up 
to over ?433 million.
The Islands Council is presenting the bill with a hard hitting letter 
(see images below) highlighting the increasingly perilous and 
unacceptable state of the inter-island fleet. It asks how Scotland's 
smallest local authority can possibly borrow the money itself - it 
estimates the interest alone would cost the Council twenty eight and a 
half million every year for twenty five years.
The Scottish Government has consistently said it's the council's duty to 
fund ferry replacement while Transport Scotland provided thirteen 
million pounds towards the running costs for Orkney's internal ferries 
in the last year. The Deputy First Minister has a long list of financial 
demands to account for when he sets the Scottish budget in Holyrood 
later. If replacing Orkney's ferries is not one of them, the islands 
council says it will have no option but to press the Westminster 
government for the money.

/From BBC Radio Orkney:/

There's been a breakthrough in the political deadlock over the 
replacement of Orkney's internal ferries. The Scottish Government is 
committing to a process to address the renewal of the fleet in a letter 
received by the Islands Council last night.
There was no mention of Orkney's ferries in yesterday's Scottish Budget 
speech, but Deputy First Minister John Swinney has announced he is 
setting up a ferry taskforce with the local authority which will meet 
monthly from January. He wants it to wind up in September with the 
objective of moving the fleet renewal forward and delivering a solution 
which will feed into the next Scottish Budget, for 24/25. There's no 
promise of money or of taking responsibility for replacement away from 
the Islands Council.
Speaking on Friday morning's Around Orkney, Council leader James Stockan 
welcomed what he called the most positive development yet in the long 
running struggle to replace the ageing inter-isles fleet. He said he's 
waiting to see the detail of how the taskforce will work, and he quoted 
a text he received from Mr Swinney last night which described this as a 
genuine constructive proposal which the Scottish Government will be 
taking forward.

Please join us on the fourth Sunday of Advent when we light our fourth 
advent candle celebrating joy - the joy that may not be easy to find 
amidst all the darkness and trouble that comes to us and others, but can 
still be found. For example, by a homeless couple in a dirty stable when 
some want to kill them. We explore how we can find and share moments of 
joy despite it all. Our morning service starts at 11am and as usual 
there will be refreshments and biscuits after the service to which 
everyone is welcome, whether or not you come to the actual service. All 
our services are informal and adults and children can come and go as 
they think appropriate. All are welcome.

Subject: [Stronsaylimpet] History of SS Athenia lifeboat on Stronsay
Message-ID: <e33819dd-3dad-dc86-988b-053cbe4cf193@stronsaylimpet.co.uk>

/From Brian Crowe on Facebook:/

A very brief introduction to the history of the restored lifeboat 
originally from SS Athenia, and now on the fore-shore at Seafield, Stronsay.
'On 3rd September 1939 war was declared between Great Britain and 
Germany. When the official announcement was made to the nation, the 
13,500 ton passenger ship the SS Athenia (Donaldson Line) was en route 
from Liverpool to Canada with 1147 passengers and crew on board. The 
majority of the passengers were women and children, and included many 
refugees from Europe fleeing the imminent bloodbath of war and 
oppression in Europe, as well as tourists mostly from the USA and 
Canada, whose main aim was to return home safely. At 11a.m. the news was 
broken to the passengers that a state of war now existed between Great 
Britain and Germany. The route taken by the SS Athenia was westward 
along the north coast of Ireland and thence to Montreal and Quebec. The 
declaration of war was not entirely unexpected and the possible 
existence of German submarines in the area was known to Captain Cook of 
the SS Athenia. By 1p.m. the ship?s 26 lifeboats had been prepared and 
were ready to be launched should the need arise. The Athenia was now 
about 300 miles from Liverpool, well out into the Atlantic and bound for 
a neutral port (Canada did not declare war for five more days). She was 
an unarmed passenger ship which had set sail before the declaration of 
war, and although alarmed by the turn of events, none of the passengers 
could imagine anything really happening to them.
At 7.39p.m disaster struck. The SS Athenia was torpedoed by a German U 
boat - U30, captained by Oberleutnant Fritz-Julius Lemp. Although under 
strict orders from Hitler to avoid any confrontation with civil shipping 
it was later stated in Lemp?s defence that he thought the SS Athenia was 
an armed and converted merchant ship as it was sailing without lights in 
a zig-zag formation. A second torpedo misfired, forcing the U boat to 
submerge to avoid being struck by it?s own torpedo, and on resurfacing a 
third torpedo was fired which also missed. Lemp then, realising his 
mistake and being aware of the potential international repercussions of 
his actions, rapidly left the scene, failing to report the incident to 
his superiors until September 14th.
The SS Athenia took several hours to finally go down. Most if not all 
the lifeboats were launched, although of the Athenia?s passengers and 
crew, 112 were killed (93 of them passengers) in the initial explosion 
or died later as a result of the sinking. There are many stories of 
individual heroism and tragedy told by survivors and recounted in the 
book ?A Night of Terror? by Max Caulfield published by Frederick Muller 
Ltd, London, 1958. Three British destroyers Electra, Escort, and Fame, 
together with two merchant ships City of Flint and Southern Cross, and 
the Norwegian vessel the Knut Nelson, all attended the scene over the 
ensuing hours rescuing the more than 1000 survivors from the lifeboats 
and the sea.
The German High Command initially denied any responsibility or 
involvement in the incident even going so far as to accuse the British 
of deliberately sinking the ship which carried many USA citizens on 
board, in order to encourage the USA to enter the war against Germany. 
The spectre of the sinking of the passenger ship Lusitania in the 1st 
World War haunted the German military command, and they feared that the 
sinking of the Athenia could have grave consequences on world opinion. 
As it happened this did not materialise although it did effect German 
naval tactics particularly in the early part of the war. Hitler issued 
an order that under no circumstances were attacks to be made on 
passenger ships, even those in convoy, regardless of nation, thus 
causing confusion to U boat commanders as to the vessels they were 
permitted to attack- for passenger ships sometimes carried troops, and 
freighters, passengers.
Of the lifeboats from the stricken SS Athenia, all did the job for which 
they were designed, ensuring the survival of more than 1000 passengers 
and crew. Several days after the sinking, the captain of a passing ship 
the SS Transylvania, noticed in the area ?an empty and abandoned 
lifeboat? floating on the waves.
Some months later an empty lifeboat found it?s way to Shapinsay one of 
the northern isles in Orkney, having apparently drifted on the currents 
from the north Atlantic to the waters off Deerness where, it is 
believed, it was seen and towed into Shapinsay by a father and son 
fishing-boat team both of whom have since died. What is certain is that 
at some time during the early 1940?s this lifeboat was acquired by a 
Captain Dennison of Shapinsay and used by him for carrying egg-boxes and 
the like, around and between the islands. There are those alive today 
who have verified that this lifeboat at that time had the name ATHENIA 
thereon and it was generally accepted and acknowledged then and up to 
the present day that this lifeboat was in fact from the SS Athenia.
During the late 1940?s the boat was regularly used for the collection 
and transportation of seaweed ? a thriving industry after the war when 
seaweed was used in the manufacture of iodine, soap, and fertiliser. 
Again there are those around today who can remember this boat ? commonly 
known as ?Desperate Dan? in view of it?s substantial weight and 
clumsiness in handling, for it had no engine and had to be towed.
In 1949, J.M.Davidson of Glasgow shut down his sea-weed processing 
factory on Stronsay and the boat became redundant. It was then acquired 
by Mr J Chalmers (Pye) of Seafield, Stronsay, who moved it from the 
foreshore at Lower Station to the foreshore at Seafield and converted it 
into a ?houseboat?, where it has remained to this day.
In 2004 the Stronsay Development Trust decided with the agreement of the 
current owner of the lifeboat, Mr Clive Martin, to investigate and 
confirm beyond reasonable doubt the history and identity of the lifeboat 
as being from the SS Athenia, with a view to obtaining funding for it?s 
restoration and preservation. This step is thought by many to be long 
overdue particularly bearing in mind the deterioration in the condition 
of the lifeboat over the years. The sinking of the SS Athenia was a tiny 
but nevertheless significant event in the overall maritime annals of the 
2nd World War, and as custodians of almost certainly the only surviving 
lifeboat from this ship, we feel it a duty to preserve this unique 
vessel to serve both as a memorial and a reminder of those who died and 
indeed of those who survived.'
It is exciting and very pleasing to see the SS Athenia lifeboat now 
beautifully restored on the foreshore at Seafield, Stronsay. Huge thanks 
are due to the Stronsay Development Trust and to Clive and Madeleine 
Martin for persevering and supporting this project over a period of some 
16 years or so, not forgetting the vital help and financial support of 
sympathetic Trusts and official bodies/(details will be added when 
verified/).
For those who would like fuller details, you will find these in the 
Stronsay Heritage Centre, or if you have an hour or so to spare in 
Kirkwall, visit the Archives in Kirkwall Library. Thank you.

Message-ID: <62f7b313-efd6-1526-68cb-73ab8082a29e@stronsaylimpet.co.uk>

/From Liam McArthur MSP:/
As I discussed on BBC Radio Orkney this morning, the establishment of a 
ferries task force is welcome but it is not the first such task force to 
be launched by this Scottish Government.
Former Transport Minister, Humza Yousaf made a similar pledge to people 
in Orkney back in 2018. It rarely met, had no real ministerial input and 
went the same way as SNP pledges on RET.
Given the importance of these lifeline service, that can?t be allowed to 
happen again. If Mr Swinney is serious about wanting to find a 
resolution to this long running saga, he can?t simply announce and retreat.
He must stay the course and make clear to his officials that he expects 
to see this task force agree such a plan for delivering the new ferries 
that are urgently needed. Orkney?s island communities need and deserve 
nothing less.

We have just had a big clear out of DVD's. I know that most people

They are all family films or box sets of series like Morse and Lewis. No

Help yourself if you want any.

Message-ID: <acf2247f-6211-fbe5-688d-af5abaee10d9@stronsaylimpet.co.uk>

/From Carrie Stout:/

?? And here is the route for the very first Stronsay Christmas Tractor 
Run!! ????
The tractors will set off from the Community Hall about 6pm on Friday 
23rd December, heading south towards the South School. They will then 
turn left and head around the queens drive. Once they hit the Fire 
Station (not literally I hope!!) they then make a right towards the 
village, going down past Hunton.
Hopefully at approximately 6:45pm, they will make it to the village, 
where they will carry on right through all the way to the Lower Station, 
before turning around and making their way back to the Stronsay Hotel. 
Some tractors might stop at the top of the pier whilst others will carry 
on towards their homes.
Can I ask that any children are always accompanied by a responsible 
adult, preferably wearing hi viz, and stay well back away from the 
tractors. I hope to see plenty of folk out along the way cheering on the 
tractors as they go about their way spreading plenty of festive cheer.

fisherman?s pier around 6.45, where the tractor run will pass then the 
Santa float will follow, then walk down following Santa through the 
village. Then into the pub for some nibbles and the raffle.
Please please can we ask parents to accompany all children at all times 
and wear hi vis. Also to stay behind the Santa float no running up the 
side etc as other tractors may pass again. Thank you for your 
cooperation with this.

Wow Stronsay, what an amazing night!! I think it?s safe to say the kids 
and adults alike really enjoyed it! Tractors were amazing and topped off 
with a visit from Santa!! ??
A big thank you to everyone that bought lucky squares and donated to 
RSABI for the tractor run, I think we are looking at about ?400 raised, 
which is incredible!
If anyone has any photos of the tractor run, of more than an individual 
tractor, can you please email me a copy.
Going to be a challenge to top that next year, but onward and upwards 
guys. Get that thinking caps on and here?s hoping for another amazing 
run next year! ??

Have a great Christmas everyone and thank you all once again.
