Welcome to issue 9 of the Wakefield North Review. With spring justabout upon us I think we’re all looking forward to lighter nights andwarmer weather and to at last saying goodbye to the wintery weather thathas plagued us this winter.
Many local businesses have really suffered over the last year with therecession and the bad weather, so please do support the businessesaround you rather than going further afield. One of the strengths of theWakefield district is the many individual towns and villages, each with it’sown identity and local economy. Supporting your local businesses will helpensure your own community retains it’s own spirit and will help it to thrive.
We are now planning our late spring and summer issues of theWakefield North Review, so please send us details of your summer fayres,fetes, galas and festivals as soon as you have them so that we can includethem in our Diary section or Community pages. We’re also always happyto hear about local news, achievements and campaigns, so get in touch ifyou have anything you would like featuring in future issues. We can’tguarantee inclusion, but we’ll do our best.
Here’s to a lovely warm, bright and happy springtime,
welcome

reviews...at the cinemaIt's the 21st
century, but the
gods of Mount
Olympus seem
to have walked
out of the pages
of Percy
Jackson's Greek
mythology texts
and into his life.
Percy has
learned that his
real father is
Poseidon, god of
the sea, which
means Percy is a
demigod - half
human, half god.
At the same time, the powerful gods on Olympus
are feuding, which could launch a war enveloping
our entire planet.
To prepare for the adventure of a lifetime, Percy
travels to a special enclave called Camp Half
Blood, where he trains to harness his newly
discovered powers and prevent a devastating war
among the gods. There, he meets two fellow
demigods - the warrior Annabeth, who is searching
for her mother, the goddess Athena; and his friend
and protector, Grover, who is actually a brave but
untested satyr.
Grover and Annabeth then join Percy on an
incredible transcontinental odyssey. At journey's
end rests the fate of the world - and the life of
Percy's mother Sally, whom Percy must rescue
from the depths of Hell itself.
Our Verdict: Very Harry Potter-esque but fastpaced and an excellent supporting cast. Theinclusion of Greek mythology was a great idea andlots of fun. Pleased we saw it on the big screenrather than waiting for it come out on dvd.Thoroughly enjoyed by adults and children alikeand looking forward to the sequel.

health & wellbeingMigraineMigraines are severe headaches that often have a number of
associated symptoms and are quite common, affecting about
one in four women and one in 12 men in the UK. It is
thought that hormonal influences may be the reason why
migraines affect more women than men.
It is possible for migraines to begin later in life. However, it is
more common for the condition to begin in childhood or as
a young adult. About nine out of 10 people who experience
migraines have their first one before they are 40 years old.
Some people experience migraine attacks frequently, up to
several times a week. Other people only experience a
migraine occasionally. It is possible for years to pass between
attacks.
Stages of migraineThere are five distinct stages to migraine, although not
everyone experiences all the stages:
1. 'Prodromal' (pre-headache) stage. Some people
experience changes in mood, energy levels, behaviour and
appetite, and sometimes aches and pains, several hours or
even days before an attack.
2. Aura. In about one in six cases, a migraine is preceded by
an aura. Symptoms include flashes of light or blind spots,
difficulty focusing and seeing things as though through a
broken mirror. This stage normally lasts around 15 minutes
to an hour.
3. Headache stage. This is usually a pulsating or throbbing
pain on one side of the head. There is often nausea or
vomiting, extreme sensitivity to bright light and loud sounds,
and a strong desire to lie down in a darkened room. This
stage lasts for four to 72 hours.
4. Resolution stage. Most attacks gradually fade away. Some
people find the headache stops suddenly after they have
been sick. Sleep often relieves the symptoms.
5. 'Postdromal' or recovery phase. There may be a stage of
exhaustion and weakness afterwards.
Migraine triggersMany factors have been identified as triggering the onset of a
migraine, including emotional, physical, dietary, environmental
and medicinal factors.
Emotional triggers - include stress; anxiety; tension;
shock; depression or excitement.
Physical triggers - include tiredness; poor sleep quality;
shift work; poor posture; neck or shoulder tension and
travelling for a long period of time. The menopause can also
trigger migraines.
Dietary triggers - include lack of food (dieting); delayed or
irregular meals; dehydration; alcohol; food additives; caffeine
products, such as tea and coffee, and specific foods like
chocolate, citrus fruit and cheese.
Environmental triggers - include bright lights; flickering
screens, such as a television or computer screen; smoking
(or smoky rooms); loud noises; changes in climate, such as
changes in humidity or very cold temperatures; strong
smells and a stuffy atmosphere (a lack of fresh air).
There is currently no known cure for migraine, and sufferers
tend to manage the condition with a combination of
painkillers and avoiding known triggers. Some people find
that complementary therapies such as acupuncture and
homeopathy help to keep migraines at bay but when a
migraine strikes, many people find that sleeping or lying in a
darkened room is the only way to lessen the pain and ease
the attack.

food&drinkEaster Simnel CakeLent is the period of 40 days which comes beforeEaster, beginning on Ash Wednesday. For manyChristians, this is a period of fasting andrepentance in preparation for Easter, culminating ina feast of seasonal and symbolic foods. In the late17th century, girls in service brought a rich fruitcake called simnel cake home to their mothers onthe fourth Sunday of Lent. The cake was enrichedwith marzipan and decorated with 11 marzipanballs representing the 12 apostles minus Judas,who betrayed Christ.
Ingredients
For the almond paste
250g/9oz caster sugar
250g/9oz ground almonds
2 free-range eggs, beaten
1 tsp almond essence
For the cake
175g/6oz butter or margarine
175g/6oz soft brown sugar
3 free-range eggs, beaten
175g/6oz plain flour
pinch salt
½ tsp ground mixed spice (optional)
350g/12oz mixed raisins, currants and sultanas
55g/2oz chopped mixed peel
½ lemon, grated zest only
1-2 tbsp apricot jam
1 free-range egg, beaten for glazing
Method
1. For the almond paste, place the sugar and
ground almonds in a bowl. Add enough beaten
egg and mix to a fairly soft consistency.
2. Add the almond essence and knead for one
minute until the paste is smooth and pliable.
3. Roll out a third of the almond paste to make a
circle 18cm/7in in diameter and reserve the
remainder for the cake topping.
4. Preheat oven to 140C/275F/Gas 1. Grease and
line a 18cm/7in cake tin.
5. For the cake, cream the butter and sugar
together until pale and fluffy. Gradually beat in
the eggs until well incorporated and then sift in
the flour, salt and mixed spice (if using) a little at
a time. Finally, add the mixed dried fruit, peel
and grated lemon zest and stir into the mixture.
6. Put half the mixture into a greased and lined
18cm/7in cake tin. Smooth the top and cover
with the circle of almond paste. Add the rest of
the cake mixture and smooth the top leaving a
slight dip in the centre to allow for the cake to
rise. Bake in the preheated oven for 1¾ hours.
Test by inserting a skewer in the middle - if it
comes out clean, it is ready. Once baked,
remove from the oven and set aside to cool on
a wire rack.
7. Brush the top of the cooled cake with the apricot
jam. Divide the remainder of the almond paste
in half; roll out a circle to cover the top of the
cake with one half and form 11 small balls with
the other half.
8. Place the circle of paste on the jam glaze and
set the balls round the edge. Brush the cake
topping with a little beaten egg.
9. Preheat the grill to high. Place the cake onto a
baking tray and grill for 1-2 minutes, or until the
top of the marzipan begins to brown.
Alternatively, lightly heat the cake topping using
a cook's blow torch, until the marzipan is
golden-brown

THE EMPIRECinema Themed Fish & ChipRestaurant, Takeaway andDrive-ThruTUCKIN G into a plate of the finest fish and chipsis always something of an occasion – but there’sone local restaurant where it becomes a reallyspecial event.
That place is the Empire, the former cinemaalongside the A61 at Outwood, which even fromthe outside brings back fond memories of abygone age of old-fashioned entertainment.
Step inside, however, and you’ll be in for a bigsurprise, for you’ll find yourself in a modern air-conditioned restaurant which, at the same time,has preserved much of the character andatmosphere from its cinema days.
Proprietors Brian and Sheila Cooper went togreat lengths to keep the cinema theme runningthroughout the restaurant, with memorabiliaranging from the golden age of the cinema up tothe modern era.
Everywhere you turn there are classic posters,photographs of film stars, even old cinemaprojectors, while one corner of the restaurant isdominated by a big screen showing classicmovies to watch while you eat.
As well as loving the food, diners will enjoythe family-friendly atmosphere and the fact theycan take advantage of the children’s menu andspecial deals for senior citizens.
The extensive menu is divided into curtains up(starter) and main event (main course) sectionsand offers plenty of choices beyond fish andchips, while the Empire also has a well-stockedlicensed bar.
Groups and parties looking for a venue with adifference are welcome to make a booking – anddon’t forget the Empire’s takeaway and drive-through service.
Fish and chips were never as much fun as at theEmpire. Telephone 01924 870002 to book atable.
A Little Bit of History...The Empire Cinema opened in 1921 and was owned andoperated by Rothwell Empire Ltd; it offered seating for 750and bookings were made at the hall. The Empire offeredone show nightly and the prices were between 4d and 10dper person. It featured a projector width of 28ft and it'stelephone number was Lofthouse Gate 7169.
The Empire Cinema also housed a Fish & Chip shopand DIY store at the front of the building, where thetakeaway is now. One of the cinema’s originalprojectionists is still a customer of ours today!
The Empire was closed to film in 1964 and was unuseduntil 1967 when it was then opened as a bingo hall.
The period of time between The Empire being a bingohall and becoming the establishment it is now is somewhatsketchy. It is believed to have been a childrens’ nursery fora period of time and has also been a carpet store.
In 1995 the idea was conceived to open the first everdrive through Fish & Chip takeaway in the UK, along witha 'themed' restaurant and take away. The idea was born andthe Empire Fish & Chip restaurant, takeaway and drivethrough was opened amongst much hype. The moviethemed restaurant was a real talking point and was evenfeatured on the 'Big Breakfast' show for the most amountof Fish & Chips served in an hour.

parenting...Expert opinion has changed a little over
recent years over how best to protect your
teeth and the teeth of your children from
decay. It was once thought that brushing
after every meal and avoiding sugary foods
was the surest way maintain a sparkling
white smile.
Many dentists now advise that is isn’t the
quantity of sugary and acidic foods but the
frequency they are eaten. They believe that
teeth can cope with three sugar attacks a
day, when your saliva goes to work to
neutralise the acid and protect the teeth. So
having a cake, biscuit or sweets after a meal
will allow your body to naturally get to work
on the sugar attack. Any more than three
sugar attacks a day and your body struggles
to keep on top of the acid that forms and
damages teeth. So if your child must eat
sugary foods, allow them with meals and not
to snack on throughout the day. For the
health of your childrens teeth, they are better
gorging on three Mars Bars at the end of a
meal than chopping up one Mars Bar and
eating a little bit regularly over the space of a
day!
With regard to how often your children
should brush their teeth, the advice is for
them now to brush when they wake in the
morning BEFORE breakfast, as this help to
get rid of the plaque and bacteria that has
formed overnight when their mouths are at
their driest with the least saliva to counteract
the acid. Brushing before breakfast with a
fluoride toothpaste helps to coat the teeth
with a protective layer which prevents acid
doing too much damage.
It is now thought that brushing teeth soon
after eating foods containing sugar, and
particularly after drinking a sugary fizzy drink,
actually damages the teeth because the
sugar and acid from the food or drink
temporarily softens the enamel of the teeth.
Brushing whilst the enamel is in a weakened
state is abrasive and over time can strip the
enamel from the teeth causing sensitive and
weakened teeth and dental erosion.
The advice from many dentists is now to
wait at least an hour after eating before your
children brush their teeth and before bed-
time it is better for your children to have
nothing to eat TWO hours before brushing
their teeth and going to bed, apart from
water. If they must have something to eat
within this time, the best types of food are
cheese, plain yoghurt and other alkaline
foods that don’t contain added or natural
sugars.
Other tips for keep teeth healthy
• Start cleaning teeth as soon as they appear.
• Develop a water habit from the beginning. If
you want your children to have fruit juice -
is it better for teeth to drink it through a
straw so the teeth aren’t continually bathed
in the sugars.
• Avoid fizzy water. Although it doesn't have
sugar, the carbonated water attacks enamel
in just the same way as acid.
Healthy foods to be wary of...
• Milk - Although milk is an excellent source
of calcium, vitamins and minerals it does
contain lactose, which is a natural sugar
and can damage teeth. If milk is consumed
frequently there is a higher risk of dental
decay, so should ideally be drunk around a
meal time.
• Raisins and dried fruit - A healthy
alternative to chocolate and sweets - dried
fruits can be a real problem as they stick to
teeth and contain a high level of natural
sugars.
• Fruit - While we all need our five a day, it's
better for their teeth to give your child raw
vegetables as a snack rather than fruit. If
they do have a piece of fruit, give them a
small piece of cheese to eat afterwards to
neutralize the acids.
