Social enterprise hit by 'disaster' as thief swipes £5,000 worth of equipment
Green Aspirations is a social enterprise focused on reconnecting people to their environment, through woodlands based at the Cardross Estate, Port of Menteith. A rural Stirling social enterprise was left reeling this week after a brazen thief stole equipment worth £5,000. Green Aspirations is a social enterprise dedicated to reconnecting people with their environment, operating from woodlands based at the Cardross Estate, Port of Menteith. The enterprise was established by Paul Cookson, who now manages the company alongside his partner Jo Edwards. They were devastated to find that several crucial tools had been pinched upon their return from holiday last weekend. Green Aspirations offers workshops, kids holiday clubs, events, products (charcoal, traditional games, other small items), volunteering opportunities, and sustainable woodland management – all focused on imparting traditional rural skills, such as green woodworking and blacksmithing. The emphasis is on teaching people to create things themselves and encouraging them to consider the origins and manufacturing processes of items. The enterprise has been operational since 2013. An online fundraiser has now been launched to help the group replace the stolen items. Jo told the Stirling Observer: "We had around £5,000 of equipment stolen that's really essential in what we do, so it's been a real blow, but at the same time, people are being really generous with their donations and offers of help, which has been amazing." Among the stolen items were two chainsaws – a STIHL 231 and a STIHL 661 , am Alaskan chainsaw mill, a generator, a circular saw, and various hand tools. Jo added: "The chainsaws are an integral part of the charcoal side of the business, and we're probably the second biggest charcoal producer in Scotland, so losing them is a bit of a disaster. "We buy our charcoal wood from the Cambusbarron Development Trust, and then process it on our site, so we've had to borrow a chainsaw this week to keep that going. "The chainsaw mill is used for preparing materials for workshops, so we've had to postpone the workshop we had planned for this weekend, as we can't get the pieces ready. While we've not cancelled, it does mean that the weekend we've moved it to now can't be used for any other workshops. "The other tools are also used for workshop prep, as well as helping us make the traditional games – stocked in Made in Stirling, so we'll have to find another way to keep that going while we sort things out." Regarding financial struggles, Jo added: "We're around 90 per cent supported through income we generate ourselves, rather than through grant funding, so all of this means that if we don't generate the income, then we can't pay our bills, or our one member of staff who works with us a couple of days a week. "We rarely pay ourselves as it is, although we were nearly at that point before this happened, so [this is] just another frustration." The Crowdfunder page states: "As a social enterprise, we operate on a pretty tight budget. So when something like this happens – the theft of a number of pretty expensive bits of kit – it really sets you back. We're looking for various sources of funding to help us replace what's been taken, but we're looking at all the avenues we can. So we're hoping you can help!".

I spend £1,800 on supplements from collagen to everyday vitamins. This is what it's done to me: OLIVIA DEAN
If someone were to burgle my flat, they'd find little worth taking. Frankly, if they want my 11-year-old MacBook or my TV that only works at a certain angle, they'd be doing me a favour. But if they made it to my bathroom, my breath would quicken. You see, I've got a stash in there worth a fortune.

Dodgers Send Andy Pages Message After Incident With Padres Manager
Dodgers Send Andy Pages Message After Incident With Padres Manager originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages found himself at the center of a brewing rivalry this week after a tense exchange with San Diego Padres manager Mike Shildt. The incident occurred during Monday's 6-3 Dodgers win, when Padres starter Dylan Cease hit Pages with a 97.7 mph fastball in the fourth inning. Advertisement Pages, who had doubled in his previous at-bat, stared down Cease before taking his base, prompting both dugouts to stir, though no physical altercation followed. After the game, Pages told reporters he believed the pitch was intentional, possibly in response to the Padres suspecting he was relaying signs from second base. 'I don't feel like my reaction was right,' he said in Spanish, via ESPN's Alden González, 'but adrenaline took over for me in that moment.' Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages (44)Jason Parkhurst-Imagn Images Shildt, visibly frustrated, was caught on camera shouting, 'Who the [expletive] do you think you are?'—a remark that added fuel to the Dodgers-Padres rivalry. Advertisement On Tuesday, the 24-year-old outfielder responded by going 4-for-4 with two home runs, two singles, and three RBIs in the Dodgers' 8–6 win over San Diego—his first career multi-homer game in the regular season. Following the performance, the Dodgers' posted a photo of Pages with the caption: 'A perfect night at the plate for Andy.' Pages is now slashing .293/.332/.513 with 15 home runs, 49 RBIs, and six stolen bases through 70 games in his second MLB season. With the series still underway and both teams battling for position in the NL West—the Dodgers holding a 45-29 record while the Padres, at 39-33, trail five games back—this battle adds another layer to one of baseball's most heated rivalries.
