The principle of 220 new homes in Kelso has been accepted by councillors, despite concerns about the capacity of the town’s sewage works.

At Tuesday’s planning committee meeting members approved planning permission in principle for a development at Angraflat Road for around 100 homes and a new secondary school and for about 120 houses off the Ednam road at Cotterlee.

Ian Aikman, major development manager, said that in the existing local development plan both sites are outwith the ‘settlement boundary’ and designated for future use, with other sites to be used first.

However, he added that in the draft local development plan, currently awaiting adoption, the sites are identified as suitable for immediate development, and as such officers could support the applications.

Kelso councillor Simon Mountford said: “This goes some way to meeting future housing requirements for Kelso, but I do have concerns about the capacity of the sewage works.

“Scottish Water are cagey in their comments, saying it may be able to accommodate the increase in usage, but I’m not sure that is what I want to hear.

“We have got a situation in Kelso where sewage is trucked away from the town as the sewage works cannot cope with the volume that currently exists and residents in the area of the sewage works are already complaining about unpleasant smells.

“I do have very serious concerns about the capacity and about how this is going to affect future developments. Ideally I would like a commitment from Scottish Water to upgrade the waste treatment facilities.”

Mr Aikman said it would likely fall to the developers to contribute towards an upgrade should capacity be an issue.

Martin Wanless, forward planning manager, added that Scottish Water had been involved in discussions about the draft development plan and raised no issues with the allocation of the land for immediate development and had not objected to the applications in question.

The developers of both sites will need to provide masterplans to show the potential future development of adjacent sites and how this will be considered in the final design for the application sites.

They will also have to provide detailed transport assessments to help lead the design of junctions and inter-connectivity with the town for pedestrians, cyclists and for public transport.

Detailed final plans will need to go before the committee for both sites.

David Wilson Homes is set to develop the site near Hendersyde North Lodge, while the applicants for Nethershot, at Angraflat Road, are Lord Ralph Kerr, The Ferniehirst Trust and Roxburghe ­Estates.

A ‘town centre hub’ for Selkirk is a step closer with the submission of a planning application by the council to convert the Cross Keys Inn.

The council is in the process of purchasing the property to assist the long term development of a regeneration project for Sir Walter Scott’s Court House, which would provide a refurbished visitor centre and potentially a range of ‘co-located services’.

In the short term, the former Cross Keys would be used to promote various regeneration initiatives in Selkirk.

This is being taken forward by Selkirk Regeneration Company.

Lawrence Robertson, director, said: “We can do great things when we work together. This shows how Selkirk people and organisations working with our council can turn a dreary problem into a bright asset for the town.”

The proposed regeneration hub will provide a central point to get information on things such as the Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme (Selkirk CARS), the flood prevention scheme, pop-up shops and the Royal Burgh’s Business Improvement District Scotland project (Selkirk BIDS).

The facility, to be run by Selkirk Regeneration Company with the assistance of Selkirk CARS, will also provide a central location for talks, exhibitions and presentations related to the developments.

It is intended that Selkirk CARS will operate a weekly drop-in for the public to find out more about potential grant funding for building repairs from the initiative or simply about maintaining a property.

Colin Gilmour, Selkirk CARS project officer, said: “Having a town centre location from which to promote the regeneration activities is ideal in terms of engaging with the public and encouraging them to understand what is being undertaken and how they can get involved.”

Councillor Vicky Davidson, executive member for culture, sport, youth and communities, added: “While there is plenty work still to do, the fact that the Cross Keys has been earmarked to be part of the court house regeneration project is an exciting prospect and demonstrates the council’s commitment to the development of Selkirk town centre.”

Plans were lodged this week for up to 15 wind turbines measuring up to 132m at Birneyknowe, between Hawick and Bonchester Bridge.

Wind energy company Banks Renewables confirmed it had submitted a planning application to the Scottish Energy Consents Unit.

The Hamilton-based company’s application could generate up to 60MW of energy, which means it is a scale of development that has to go before the government consents unit.

Banks Renewables says the local community will see a “host of benefits” if the scheme gets the go-ahead, including around £300,000 a year possibly being used to set up jobs and skills initiatives, improve local facilities, support local organisations or deliver community-based environmental projects.

Residents may also benefit from the Electricity Contribution Scheme, which would see those living closest to the site receiving a contribution towards energy costs.

Meanwhile, Banks Renewables has also proposed that a share of revenues could support an innovative new scheme to boost training and workplace learning.

Phil Dyke, development director at Banks Renewables, said: “After two years of intensive work and extensive consultation with local people, we believe we have now drawn up the best possible proposal.

“Our scheme has been carefully shaped by the feedback we received and is well-designed, sympathetic to the proposed setting and would deliver real, tangible and long-term benefits to the local community.”

However, a recent public meeting organised by Hobkirk Community Council, saw a unanimous vote against the plans.

Around 40 people turned out for the meeting in the village’s Laidlaw Hall last month which heard concerns over noise, flickering and the number of vehicles it will generate.

The renowned Wedderlie herd of Aberdeen Angus cattle celebrates its centenary this summer.

And owners John and Marion Tilson, and their daughter, Wanda Hobbs, will host an open day at their farm, near Gordon, on Saturday, August 16.

Marion, whose family has farmed at Wedderlie since 1942, said: “The Wedderlie Aberdeen-Angus herd has always been the backbone of our farming enterprise and we want to demonstrate how the Aberdeen-Angus breed, with its hardiness and excellent maternal attributes, coupled with the strong consumer demand and premium prices for the end product, is the ideal breed for an exposed hill farm such as Wedderlie.”

The Wedderlie herd was founded by A.W. Baird in 1914 and was taken over by Mrs Tilson’s grandfather, Capt Thomas Elliot, when he acquired the farm in 1942. The 2,500-acre hill unit rises from 800ft to 1200ft.

On Capt Elliot’s death in 1954, the farm and herd were bequeathed to his daughter, Mrs J.R.L. Campbell, who, with her husband, Jock, continued to run the herd very successfully for many years.

Mr and Mrs Tilson, both former presidents of the Aberdeen-Angus Cattle Society, have guided the herd to even greater success, helped by Wanda who, as well as being in charge of the herd’s day-to-day management, has her own small Ellin herd which runs with the Wedderlie cattle.

The herd’s most recent success was at the Stirling bull sales in February when Wedderlie Ebsolution won the reserve supreme championship and sold for the second top price of 17,000gns.

The supreme championship was won in 2008 with Wedderlie Blackdown, which sold for 24,000gns and in 2003 the bull, Wedderlie Netmark, realised the top price of 25,000gns.

Wanda hit the jackpot with her own herd in 2009 when Ellin Evermore won the supreme championship and sold for 16,000gns.

However, most bulls are sold privately off the farm to both pedigree and commercial breeders: “We sell 50 or 60 bulls a year mostly to commercial buyers who know our bulls are structurally correct, reared naturally, not over-fed and backed by authenticated performance figures,” said John. “We have many repeat buyers each year which is testimony to the service we try to provide.”

Spring born steers are finished on the farm and sold to Scotbeef while autumn born steers are sold as yearling stores at St Boswells. The herd is closed, except for occasional stock bulls, with replacement females bred on the farm.

In addition to 195 pedigree Aberdeen-Angus cows and followers, which are managed on a strictly commercial basis, the farm supports a flock of 1760 ewes with all lambs, except for replacements, sold prime to Scotbeef.

The open day will include farm tours and practical demonstrations and competitions, including stock judging, a sheepdog handling demonstration and a parade by the Lauderdale Foxhounds. And Wedderlie beef will be part of a barbecue provided by Steve Mitchell of The Buffalo Farm. The open day starts at 10am, with official opening at 11am.

Around 1,800 children from Hawick and the surrounding area will gather on the outskirts of the town next Thursday to watch a special reenactment of the Battle of Hornshole.

The event is part of Hawick’s Vision 2014 project, the final part of a four-year initiative based around raising the ambitions and aspirations of young people.

It involves the local primary schools and high school, representatives from partner agencies, businesses, members of the community and councillors.

Janice Chapman, chair of the Vision 2014 steering committee, said: “We’re extremely excited about next week’s event which has been designed especially for the young people in the Teviot and Liddesdale area.

“It aims to help them understand a little of the history of 1514 and the events that took place, and which are commemorated each year as part of the common riding.

“We believe it will be something they will remember for years to come.”

Later the same day a bronze statue marking the 500th anniversary of the battle will be unveiled.

Councillor Stuart Marshall said: “Next week’s commemorations will be a spectacular celebration of the unique traditions of Hawick’s Common Riding, one of 11 fantastic festivals in the Borders that showcase our rich history and heritage and which are helping to attract increasing numbers of visitors to the region.

“This reenactment has been years in the planning and we’re sure the children will enjoy taking part in this once-in-a lifetime experience.”

Galashiels Air Cadets received a visit from British Transport Police to help get their Borders Railway-themed safety course under way.

The entry-level course in Workplace Hazard Awareness, which is awarded by the British Safety Council, has been made possible thanks to the Borders Railway project and Scottish Community Safety Network (SCSN) community fund.

Transport police officers briefed Cadets on safety relating to the construction of the new railway. As the course develops, the Cadets will produce safety guides and posters.

More than 80 people and over 40 dogs (mostly rescues) turned out on for The BIG Borders Dog Walk in Earlston.

The sponsored event, organised by Borders Pet Rescue, was held to raise funds to create a secure exercise area for the canines.

The rain held off for the day and walkers enjoyed a six-mile circular trek on footpaths around the town.

Although the money is still coming in, organisers estimate that around £2,000 was raised by the event.

Centre manager Simon Cullum said: “It was fantastic to see so many supporters turn out with their dogs. Thanks also to our fabulous volunteers who turned out to marshal on the route and provide tea and cakes for the walkers. And, of course, to Earlston Paths Group for building and maintaining the wonderful network of footpaths.”

There are constant reminders of how different life is here in Afghanistan to what it is like back home at Kelso.

In northern Afghanistan, the mountains are highly unstable and not just prone to earthquakes, but also to landsides as unstable rock surfaces subside in heavy rains.

Sadly, man’s constructions are no match for these massive forces of nature.

After flash flooding in the northwest, this weekend we had the huge landslides in the northeast which caused further loss of life.

Although Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) are in the lead, ISAF forces are on alert to assist if requested.

Two weeks ago we were asked to help with strategic airlifts of drinking water to assist those flooded out of their homes.

This past weekend, ISAF has been assisting with the movement of humanitarian aid, including tents, blankets and carpets for those left homeless by the huge landslides.

Part of my role is to ensure that we don’t just help our ANSF colleagues, but are seen to be helping all Afghans.

Hence, we arranged for key journalists to be escorted on one of our C130 planes carrying aid to Faizabad in Badakhshan, just 30 miles from the disaster zone.

One of the guys escorting found himself physically helping reload aid from air pallets onto a local truck to deliver to those in need.

Not something I had to do very often when working in my London office.

Caddonfoot village hall was the stage for a comedy night hosted by comedian Bruce Fummey.

The event raised £2,350 for Caddonfoot Parent and Toddlers Group and was supported by local businesses.

The group meets every Monday and Friday (9-11am) during term time. For further information, contact 07840 701953.

This week, Shoogly Towers has mostly been recovering from the Wedding of the Year.

Well, when I say Shoogly Towers I actually mean the Shoogly nippers, myself and Mr E. Gamford stayed behind to tend to our three house dogs, poultry flock, pack of beagles, herd of Highland ponies and the two pet Llamas.

Aha! I knew that the mention of Llamas would wake you up – any regular readers will know that I am not over-fond of Llamas or Alpacas or anything of that ilk which puts me in mind of a sheep with a stretched neck.

And so to the Wedding of the Year, a wedding so brilliant that it would have had Kirstie Allsopp crying into her hand-embroidered hankie. It was so home-made, so vintage, and so amazingly cool that I just have to share.

I think it would have chimed with any smallholder or wannabe smallholder, as the principles were very similar – from the hedgerow home-brew to the home-made bunting. For a start, it wasn’t in a church in the middle of town, it was up a hill, with a reception in a community centre at the bottom. No air miles.

There was a definite recycling/re-using theme, from the old spade found dumped by the path which was then used to stick in the ground to hold a ‘wedding this way’ sign, to the ‘bridal bower’ at the top of the hill which was a borrowed gazebo decorated with ‘flags’ of sumptuous material and home-made bunting radiating out from it.

Once the very moving civil ceremony was over we all trooped down the hill to a jam-jar of one of a wide variety of home-made ciders, ranging from deep russets to hospital sample yellows. Delicious.

Then we went to ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ over the tables, each one with a different home-made fabric table cloth and assortment of candles and mementoes from the bride and groom’s home. Every single item told a story about them individually and as a couple. We had a lighthouse ornament and two cat candles on our table, so I’m not quite sure what that says about them – kindred spirits drawn in from the darkness by a beacon of love? Or any port in a storm for something the cat dragged in? I jest.

The tables were laden with an eclectic mix of bottles, all labelled, from ‘perfectly acceptable tap water’ in old whisky bottles to ‘rhubarb wine’ and ‘stove wine’ (I think it had fermented by the stove, rather than been made from one, in an Irn-Bru stylee), representing months and months of foraging and brewing.

A selection of glasses from half-pint mugs to horn beakers and sherry glasses meant those who like a good kick of the ball could have one, and those who get tiddly on more than a thimbleful could moderate. Not that I saw many of the latter at this wedding.

I sampled well and happily, just stopping short of ‘tattie wine’. Why? A) It was in a teeny tiny miniature bottle, pointing to the fact it was probably lethal, and B) It’s smell (definitely lethal).

Borders College catering students did a fab job on the food, with guests pitching in with tray bakes and cheeses for the board.

And the highlight for the Shoogly nippers? Playing the spoons on stage with ‘Uncle Bob’ Burgess and the Bogie Close Stompers. Bob, we will blame you if they grow up into Chas ‘n’ Dave.

Thank you, June and Kev. Slainte mhath!

Government targets for renewable energy using wind turbines and solar panels have led to endless protests, neighbours in conflict, family rows and friends falling out. Just occasionally they have produced unlikely bedfellows, as with the recent support for solar panels by the National Trust and the RSPB.

The argument for and against wind turbines, whether in ones and twos or tens and hundreds is well known to most of us by now. It has been rehearsed more often than any other topic in local newspapers throughout the country for more than ten years. At times the argument has created more passion than I would have thought possible except at a Newcastle – Sunderland game or a Borders rugby clash.

For exactly the same reasons that it’s best for the neutral not to get involved – “Are you fae Hawick? No. Are you fae Gala? No. Then what’s it got to do with you?” – it’s best to stay clear of any specific wind turbine row. Which I do, while admitting that my general view has changed in the past year or so.

That is, I still don’t accept that wind turbines are an eyesore. Compare and contrast with the pylons strung across the countryside and along skylines in the 1960s and 1970s and say that wind turbines look worse. But we’re all happy to use the electricity pylons carry. The case is slightly different with wind turbines because of the subsidies involved. I now think opponents and protesters are probably right about the dodgy economies of wind-generated electricity and the difficulties of matching unreliable supply with demand.

So are solar panels a better bet, acres of them on the ground or on house roofs and the roofs of some giant sheds? The National Trust and RSPB apparently think so, offering support as the number of solar farms has quadrupled in the past two years to more than 180, each covering five acres or more with a further 250 being constructed and a further 100 at the planning stage.

A good thing? Certainly for wildlife, particularly bumblebees and butterflies and wild flowers, compared with their prospects on farmland, according to Dr Guy Parker, an ecologist, who carried out research on four existing solar panel farms. His report noted: “Because panels are raised above ground on posts more than 95 per cent of a field utilised for solar farm development is still accessible for plant growth.”

What could revolutionise the intermittent production of renewable energy sources such as panels or turbines, of course, is a method of storing the energy produced. That doesn’t seem imminent.

I have no sympathy for the farmer on whose farm Scotland’s first case of cattle scab was confirmed recently. Farmers have been warned since 2011 of the dangers of psoroptic mange reaching Britain, but the first confirmed case was found on, guess what, an imported calf. Shoot and foot come to mind.

The Selkirk-based Scottish H.A.R.T. charity found itself well and truly pampered when a student of Telford College in Edinburgh chose them as her favoured recipient of a special day in the education establishment’s calendar.

Selkirk resident Rebekah Turnbull, who is attending the college’s hairdressing and beauty department where she is a third-year student, has a placement once a week at Haircraft in the town’s High Street. It was there that she handed over a collection can containing £170.30 to Wilma Gunn MBE, founder and national chairman of Scottish H.A.R.T.

This was the amount Rebekah collected during her part in the annual Pampered Day where students are encouraged to support charities and also to have their clients who come to the college for the day to have their hair styled or their nails done, or facials and beauty treatments.

Within Sage Accounts there are several powerful tools for reporting and data interrogation.

The program itself comes with many reports for each module including detailed nominal activity, profit and loss and balance sheets, so looking at the standard reports should be your first port of call.

Sage Accounts also comes with a report design program as standard. This can be used to customise existing report templates.

This also enables you to edit invoice and statement layouts, add logos, boxes or additional data as required.

Reports can also be created from scratch, so you have a specific new report within the program. These can be customised, allowing grouping, filtering and totalling.

Batch reporting gives the facility to run a set of reports all together. Perhaps you always run the same set of reports at month end, these can be grouped and criteria specified for each one from one screen.

There is the facility to create favourites, similar to those you would find in an internet browser, so you can quickly find the report you need.

However, you may wish to work outside of Sage, and transfer data to a Microsoft product.

There are several ways of transferring data from Sage Accounts to a Microsoft program, for example Excel. If you are in a “grid” screen then an option exists to simply send the data exactly as it to Excel.

This does not allow any criteria change, so may require further manipulation in the spreadsheet.

Once enabled you will also find a new tab in Excel for Sage. This allows you to connect to your company data and gives access to data fields to build up your own spreadsheet, using Excel functionality.

The Haining Charitable Trust (HCT) is setting up shop for the day at 1 Tower Street, Selkirk, on May 12, in a bid to update the local community on progress concerning the estate, and encouraging support and feedback, as well as stories about the Haining, from the people of the area.

For the HCT is embarking on a project to write up the history of the Haining and would like to hear from anyone who has a personal experience, whether it was a visit to the house, fishing on the loch, or working with any of the previous occupants.

The trust would also like to hear from anyone who was around at the time the house was occupied by the army that have some interesting stories to tell.

“We encourage everyone to come to the pop-up shop where you can find out about the progress being made, and to provide us with their own stories from living memory,” said Lawrence Robertson, a trustee of the estate.

Staff and volunteers at The Haining will be manning the shop. Any information gathered will be used to compile a collection of anecdotes, adding to the history of the house now being compiled for publication.

There is nothing worse for calves than an outbreak of diarrhoea, write SAC Consulting’s veterinary investigation officers at St Boswells.

The losses can be high and it is hard work to nurse affected calves back to health. Oral fluids will help many calves, but some can be so badly affected that they cannot stand and will die without treatment from your vet.

Diagnosing the cause of the diarrhoea is important as there are specific medicines for some of the causes and it helps in taking decisions on whether or not to use vaccines next year. But it is also important to remember that some of the infections can also cause disease in humans.

At our lab in St Boswells we found Cryptosporidiosis and rotavirus to be by far the most common infections identified in 52% and 34% of the cases respectively. Other causes were found, but much less frequently. All these agents attack the gut lining stopping nutrients being absorbed leading to diarrhoea, dehydration and sometimes death.

Ensuring that your calves are born into a clean environment and receive adequate colostrum will give them a good start in life and help to prevent them picking up these infections.

Think carefully before buying in calves as they are a potential source of infection and could be carrying disease such as Salmonella, Johne’s disease and BVD virus.

By following good management practices you can reduce the likelihood of a diarrhoea outbreak in your calves.

Speak to your vet about preventing losses from calf diarrhoea this year.

The new state-of-the-art sports facilities at Peebles High School have been opened to pupils and the public just 11 months after work started.

An indoor four-court games hall, general purpose hall, fitness suite, classroom and associated changing facilities have been created at the cost of £4.8million.

They are complemented by a new 2G synthetic sports pitch, sprint track and long jump track and pit.

The council spent £4.3m on the project, with sportscotland contributing £500,000.

Councillor Vicky Davidson, executive member for culture, sport, youth and communities, said: “Peebles and the surrounding areas will reap the benefits of this major investment in sport for years to come.

“These fantastic facilities are not only available to pupils during school hours but are already available for the wider community to enjoy in the evenings and at weekends.”

Councillor Sandy Aitchison, executive member for education, added: “Pupils have already started to use the new sports centre and the feedback so far has been very positive.

“We need to do all we can to help our young people, and by providing first-rate facilities like these, we can enhance the experiences offered to pupils in physical education and extra-curricular activities.”

Borders Sport and Leisure Trust (BSLT) will manage community use of the facility.

Ewan Jackson, chief executive of BSLT, said: “The new facility is perfect for hosting an extensive range of sports and activities that are suitable for all age groups, from inflatable fun, teen zone and gym sessions to football tournaments.

“We are looking forward to welcoming the wider community to the centre outwith school hours and are ready to take bookings now.”

Members of the public can book the new facilities by contacting the Gytes Leisure Centre on 01721 723688 or gytesdutymanager@bslt.org.uk.

The facilities were designed by the council’s in-house architects and were built by GRAHAM Construction, who started work in June last year.

An official opening c­eremony will take place on May 21.

Do you walk, cycle, horse-ride, canoe or own/manage land? If so, the Outdoor Access Team at Scottish Borders Council (SBC) would like to invite you to an open meeting being held by the Local Outdoor Access Forum on Tuesday, May 20.

The forum is an important guiding influence that helps the council to manage public outdoor access under the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003.

The meeting is being held at Old Gala House in Galashiels from 6.30-8.30pm. Light refreshments will be available. More details at: outdooraccess@scotborders.gov.uk.

Two test runs for wind turbine deliveries to the Langhope Rig site near Alemoor Reservoir took place without incident through the tight streets of Denholm last week.

A spokeswoman for developers SSE said: “Everything went really well. There were no issues and the tests went as expected.

“There is likely to be one more trial run just before construction starts, which will be managed by GE, the turbine supplier.”

She added: “We would like to thank the communities impacted for their patience.”

Local resident and Minto Hills Conservation Group member Anna Dickson said: “A lot of people here are clearly concerned about these movements, not least because they may well be precursors to similar haulage of parts for proposed wind farms nearer the village at Birneyknowe and Highlee Hill.

“The vehicles are very long, so as to be able to carry the 40 metre lengths, but the turbines themselves at Langhope Rig will be almost three times that length and those planned for Birneyknowe and Highlee Hill appear to be even taller than that.”

Beauty therapist Misty Crew has proudly opened the doors to her own beauty salon in Galashiels thanks to support from RBS.

With support from RBS business specialist Craig Dickson, Misty has been able to get a small business loan as part of the bank’s involvement in the Government’s Funding for Lending scheme.

This has helped with refurbishing and fitting out the Channel Street premises.

Misty said: “I realised that I didn’t need to wait for my children to go to school before I could start the business – I saw the opportunity for a walk-in salon in Galashiels and knew that I needed to move quickly.

“I spoke to my husband and we figured out that between us it was completely possible for me to be a parent and run my own business.”

She added: “Craig was really good. I was a bit wary and thought he might question whether I could do this but he completely understood the opportunity and saw that it could work.”

Misty offers a range of walk-in services ranging from threading to mini-facials and file and polishing.

She has also decided to open the salon and take walk-in appointments until 6pm and then stays open until late with appointments for acrylic nails and eyelash extensions, fitting around her customers’ busy lifestyles.

Craig Dickson said: “It was a pleasure to help Misty realise her dream and start her business. RBS is proud to support businesses such as these that start small and work hard.”
