Wage regulations violations are common in a number of industries. enon poses problems to law-abiding employers, who struggle to match the prices set by dishonest competitors. But on the other hand, if the issue regards something legislative, the right way is through The Chancellor of Justice.? L E H T I K U VA / S E P P O S A M U L I Debt problems becoming critical Finland has experienced issues with debt before, especially in the late 1980s, but today Finns owe a larger percentage of their takehome income than ever before. See page 8 A NOW controversial speech by Finland?s Interior Minister Päivi Räsänen during a Lutheran Church event earlier in July, continues to cause a stir in the public discourse a week after entering the limelight. While addressing the crowd gathered in Kankanpää earlier in July, Räsänen, who leads the Christian Democratic Party said that, ?We have to consider whether we have the courage to act in the face of general public opinion or norms, peer pressure, and sometimes even the law, if these contradict the word of God.? Räsänen, whose responsibilities include religious affairs, also questioned the legislation regarding abortions in Finland during her speech. 24 JULY 2013 . ?Animal protection law grants better protection to animals than the law on abortion gives to unborn children. ?The thought of slapping a corporate ?ne on top of all that sounds excessive and unfeasible,. ?The prime minister will ask for an inquiry if he thinks it is necessary. The Interior Minister told Yle?s A-studio program on Monday that the she was surprised by the ?fuss. he states. The debate was ?ared up by Minister of Finance Jutta Urpilainen (SDP), who ?oated the notion of penalising employers who deliberately violate the minimum wage stipulations of collective agreements in an online column for MTV3 on 12 July.. In a bulletin issued on 12 July, SAK director Nikolas Elomaa laments the fact that violations of collective agreements result in no penalties, despite the agreements. ?Introducing penalties [?] is the only way to tackle this ?aw,? Elomaa stresses. In contrast, Markus Äimälä, the director of labour law at the Confederation of Finnish Industries (EK), believes the current legislation acts as a suf?cient deterrent to employers. He reminds that underpaid employees are entitled to recover withheld wages with penalty interests from employers, while violations of collective agreements may also result in non-statutory compensatory ?nes and even charges of extortionlike workplace discrimination. binding nature. ?3 .

Räsänen?s statements have drawn criticism from other governing parties, with representatives from the National Coalition Party, the Green League, Left Alliance and Swedish People?s Party of Finland all stating that further discussion over the matter is needed. ?As the speech has received a lot of attention, a discussion with the prime minister would be in order and why not with the government as well. Instead, underpaid employees are typically deemed entitled to recover the wages unlawfully withheld by employers. Ann Selin, the president of PAM, says that such wage claims are only the tip of the iceberg. ?Conservative estimates suggest that we are talking about thousands of cases,. Oras Tynkkynen, Chairman of the Green League parliamentary group said. Some politicians even called for Räsänen to be relieved from her ministerial responsibilities over religious affairs, with the Chairwoman of the Left Alliance parliamentary group, Annika Lapintie, stating that they would ?t better under the Ministry of Education and Culture. But Peter Östman, who chairs the Christian Democrats. Moreover, the phenomenon concerns particularly workers from foreign backgrounds and may even be associated with human traf?cking. According to SAK, wage underpayments not only jeopardise the livelihoods of employees but also rob the state of tax and pension contributions. This has led to some considerable ?nancial rami?cations for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Finland, which receives an average of 1.33 per cent of members of the church?s yearly income in taxes. Räsänen has since said that she stands behind her statements, but that some of the remarks have been taken out of context and that the Finnish law should always be abided by in principle. she told STT on Saturday. SAK estimates that violations of wage regulations are especially common in the cleaning, construction and restaurant sectors.

Is the secret behind the success these years in the life of a child? be no surprise if I mention that the ?rst document outlining the need for a state policy regarding a progressive early childhood policy was written and published in Finland in 1907, when Finland was an autonomous duchy in the Russian empire. When I am asked abroad why Finland is so competitive, sometimes sharing the top position with ambitious South Korea and beating all our excellent Nordic neighbors, I quote three reasons: ?rstly, respect for learning and education as a tool for a small country´s progress; secondly, respect for the teaching profession, choosing the best to become teachers (only 11 per cent of applicants are accepted for academic training in the pedagogical faculties); ?nally, we follow the slogan, ?Leave no child behind?, meaning that we invest time and money in bringing every pupil up to an acceptable level. FINLAND WHAT does this mean in terms of Early Childhood policies and services. Before that law, one important form of day care was family care in private homes: one mother agreed to take care of a small group of children of the same age. But the starting point for every Finnish child is the years in kindergarten and in preschool training. Around the country, you ?nd many notfor-pro?t organisations and institutions, some of them rather old and respectable, running daycare centres. We got our ?rst Child Protection Act in 1936, but the next legislative step was taken only in 1973 when the ?rst law regulating children?s day care was promulgated by Parliament . As in all Nordic countries, state support for childcare and education in general is channeled to the municipalities as a lump sum, without earmarking money for speci?c tasks. own and do not represent the official policy of the Helsinki Times. Pär Stenbäck became Minister of Education for the Finnish government in 1979 and Foreign Minister in 1982. The National Core Curriculum Guidelines for PreSchool Education (2010) are on the website of the Finnish National Board of Education and the National Curriculum Guidelines on Early Childhood Education and Care in Finland (2010) can be found on the website of the National Institute of Health and Welfare. 3. This publication was even seen in our Western neighbour Sweden as the most modern and forwardlooking in Europe at the time. Indeed, kindergartens and crèches had existed in Finland many years before that publication. IT SHOULD appears at the top of the international PISA evaluation of teenage pupils? achievements in reading, mathematics etc. They will not be forbidden and the useful side with them is that they can inspire the public sector to improve the quality of its own services. show that only eight per cent of all children under age seven are in private care, receiving social insurance support, just as those in public care do. STATISTICS THE PRIME Minister of Sweden (Olof Palme) in the eighties called private forpro?t crèches ?Kentucky Fried Children?, but today Sweden has taken one step further by allowing private schools, supporting them on the same grounds as the public ones. He is a Founding Board Member of the International Crisis Group (ICG) and Chairman of the European Cultural Parliament, as well as Elected Member of the Standing Commission, the coordinating body of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. The Ministry of Education appoints an Advisory Board (Delegation) for Early Childhood Education. I was then an MEP and remember that we were proud of the reform but concerned as to how it could be ?nanced and implemented in LET US It contained the principle of universality: this service should be offered to every family and every child in need of it. 2 VIEWPOINT 18 . The law supported and motivated municipalities ?nancially as well. an integral part of the total educational system and municipalities were given the freedom to choose. An ordinary teacher needs around three years of studies for a candidate degree and can continue around two more years to a masters degree, which offers competence for planning and expert tasks in the administration.. This training started in the autonomous period in 1892 and, as I have indicated, has now been offering academic pedagogical training at several universities since 1995. In addition to these four hours, 2/3 of the pre-school kids also need day care so these are hard-working, fully occupied young boys and girls. in the Finnish model. I do not predict a bright future for this business because there is little, if any room for luxury class centres in a country with fairly small income differences. In 1985, he left parliament to become Secretary General of the Finnish Red Cross, then of the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. Today, there is a certain backlash in the public debate concerning this subjective right: the question is asked, should those families where one parent is not working, also have this right, when public ?nancing is under pressure and there are queues in expanding urban communities. State support for all municipalities is de?ned according to an intricate scale with many criteria such as population density, morbidity rate, percentage of elderly people, surface area, number of children, etc. WHO PAYS now have concluded that childcare in Finland is solely a public affair. Yes, overwhelmingly so, but there are two other actors in this ?eld. This reform was introduced in 2000, is free of charge for families and comprises four hours daily. Its three-year mandate is broad: it shall promote, strengthen and coordinate cooperation between different state agencies, organisations, research and educational institutions and the municipalities; it shall monitor domestic and international development in this sector; and it shall initiate proposals for long-term development of ECE. comes from the Ministry for Education and the 16 members from teachers´ training schools, trade unions, municipalities, government agencies, etc. THE CHAIRMAN THIS is clearly a forum where all relevant issues can be discussed freely and consensus reached, then presented to the coordinating ministry, which can bring proposals to the government and the Parliament. 2. 24 JULY 2013 HELSINKI TIMES Viewpoints are commentaries written by experts and authorities about specific topics. They are obliged to follow exactly the same rules and regulations as the public centres. YOU MAY all our over 400 municipalities. This article is a condensed version of a speech given by Minister Pär Stenbäck, former Finnish Minister of Education, at a World Bank meeting in Moscow, discussing the ambitious Russian plans for expanding Early Childhood Education. Around that time, the variety of day care models was broad: kindergarten, crèches, play parks, day homes, etc. 1973, the introduction of public day care services grew more quickly and the family care model started to fall into disuse. The training/education of teachers and other staff for day care centres. I do hope that this trend will not reach Finland as we would probably lose our top PISA position quickly. How can we master this system, ensure the quality of every unit around the country, avoid disputes between the different interest groups and constantly develop the quality and volume of services rendered to the families and their children? HERE are three factors that help to de?ne the quality and volume of Finnish ECE: 1. This trend comes from abroad and runs parallel with the expansion of private health care. The emotional, intellectual and linguistic foundation is laid before the age of 6 or 7, and shortcomings by the society are paid for dearly by the whole community. YOU MAY now get the impression that I am trying to portray Finland as having the perfect educational system. Far from that: this system has come into being rather slowly and not without many administrative and ?nancial dif?culties. So far, it is fairly limited in scope and its growth depends solely on the needs and the willingness of the biggest cities to use its ?product?. You can ?nd English translations of these on the Net. But the local spending of this money is of course regulated by national legislation. Before 1973, this was usual in those municipalities where no organised public day care was available, in about 1/3 of all communities. When a new Act regulating Early Childhood Education (ECE) is promulgated in 2015, the government and Parliament will certainly debate this issue and one can predict some restrictions here, especially if budget cuts are needed. these years, day care activities came under the social sector, both at the government and the municipal level. Only from the beginning of this year was it made ?nal: at the national level, the Ministry for Education and Culture now has the overall responsibility for all policies affecting children. After these policies have been adopted, the responsibility for monitoring will lie with the National Board of Education and the implementation with the municipalities, as before. AFTER TODAY, 63 per cent of children between one and seven is in day care, public or private. The curricula for both ECE and for Pre-School Education are established as nation-wide, binding documents for all pedagogical activities. It means that Finland strongly adheres to the belief, thoroughly researched at home and internationally, that the years spent in day care facilities are the most important formative years for the future education of a child. Slowly, awareness grew that day care must be DURING Finland strongly adheres to the belief that the years spent in day care facilities are the most important formative years for the future education of a child. be available for those living far from population centers. However, Finland needs to encourage more women to work outside the home and to offer quality childcare is certainly a good carrot. WHEN speaking about the number of children in day care, I need to add that almost all six-year old kids in Finland are in pre-school education. More importantly, in reality they may have dif?culties becoming pro?table, as parents compare their fees with the public ones. You can submit your articles to viewpoint@helsinkitimes.fi.

Early childhood education: the Finnish model FINNISH education has become an export product because of its PISA results. Not all families need or wish to use day care services, and services may not THE NEWEST actors are forpro?t companies who also offer their services to the public sector. In 1990, this right was explicitly added to the law as a subjective (or personal) right for all children under age 3, and in 1996 for all under age 7. On the other hand, as the saying goes, small countries have small problems, big countries big ones. take a quick look at Early Child Care from a Finnish perspective. It should immediately be stressed that these centres must strictly adhere to all public regulations and they are inspected even more thoroughly than the public centres. In most cases, the municipality signs an agreement with them and one may say that they integrate well into the system

The project is not without its problems however, Hajjar reminds. Myllyntausta explains. However, in addition to persisting concerns, the report also acknowledges the positive developments reached by Finland since the previous report, in 2007. The Ministry of Justice has mulled over the revised act for several years and is expected to present the bill to the Parliament for consideration in the autumn. Mosque to encourage integration Elsewhere, the watchdog expresses its concerns over the lack of a dedicated mosque in the Helsinki region. It is not turned into an of?cial matter,. explains Kimmo Rentola, Professor of Political History at the University of Turku. According to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, it is extremely rare for Finnish diplomats to get sent back to Finland ?They are political disputes, slaps on the wrist,. in Finland. A diplomat caught redhanded spying can be declared a persona non grata, a process that is carried out discreetly and out of the public eye. There are also other ways of delivering a request for a person to leave the country. ?Often the country in question is simply told who is unwanted after which the person leaves quietly. Tiina Myllyntausta, Chief of Protocol Seppo Hentilä sees the line between between normal diplomatic reporting and espionage as being difficult to define. Power in espionage changing hands Traditionally, when spying by a foreign state becomes the topic of conversation in Finland, the ?nger is pointed at Russia, but the Finnish Defence Forces nowadays consider China a bigger threat regarding espionage, according to STT. Hentilä endorses the view of China?s growing signi?cance as a player in the intelligence ?eld. ?China is interested in different aspects of Western countries, such as social innovations. On the other hand, you cannot discuss funding until a location has been identi?ed.? Despite positive developments, several issues remain unresolved in Finland. M I K KO N I E M E L Ä , J A N N E H U U S KO N E N . And they will strive to gain the information that is not made public,? says Hentilä. Rentola states that the dictatorships of the developing world are also involved in espionage in Finland even though Finland is usually not the target but its own citizens living in the country. ?For example, Iraq was doing this very actively during Saddam?s rule.? According to Supo?s annual report, foreign spies are more interested in Finland?s international relations than its domestic policy, with the economy, science and technology, military questions and of?cials? activities being the internal matters that get foreign intelligence of?cials. she reminds.

Finland has its work cut out to weed out racism and that they have not been consigned to the basements.? Jussi Pajunen (NCP), the Mayor of Helsinki, says he is prepared to show a green light to the construction of a mosque as long as the funding has been secured and a suitable location identi?ed. He highlights that although roughly half of the 50,000-60,000 Muslims in Finland reside in the Helsinki region, the facilities in the city?s vicinity hold no more than a few hundred people each. Moreover, Hajjar believes a mosque would encourage the integration of Muslims from immigrant backgrounds into the Finnish society. S T T A L E K S I T E I VA I N E N .

For example, the new report commends Finland for the adoption of stricter penalties for offences motivated by race, religion, ethnic or national origin, and the reduction of residence requirements for acquiring Finnish citizenship. That alone demands that a location is found,. In an e-mail to STT, Minister of the Interior Päivi Räsänen (Christian Democrats) underlines that the Ministry of Justice is already contemplating extending the ombudsman?s scope of activities. ?The Islamic tradition in Helsinki stretches back to the 19th century.

However, such a clause is not incorporated in the draft proposal which is currently being circulated for comments. The Ministry for Foreign Affairs does not want to comment on whether diplomats from any particular country ?gure more often among cases of suspected espionage. In its recent report, the ECRI calls for a greater emphasis on the Sámi people and their culture in education, as well as more rigorous efforts to combat the prejudices against the Roma and the discrimination faced by Russians especially in the labour market. In addition, an independent human rights watchdog urges Finland to increase the resources of the Ombudsman for Minorities in order to establish regional branch of?ces with the authority to initiate legal proceedings. Intelligence gathering is usually carried out under the guise of a diplomatic post, reveals a report by the National Research Institute of Legal Policy. Hentilä states that espionage has always been the hidden side of the diplomatic profession. ?Of course not everyone engages in these activities.? Supo told STT that every year it thwarts efforts by intelligence of?cers working under the cover of diplomatic service to recruit information sources in Finland, with diplomats having also been deported under a cloud of suspicion over possible espionage.

Once in the city, Finns are less likely to perform physical activity in their daily commutes, such as biking to work or school. A body mass index under 18.5 is considered underweight, 18.5 to 25 is deemed optimal, and 25 to 30 is called over- FINNS weight. Childhood obesity is particularly worrisome, because it is associated with a higher chance of premature death or disability in adulthood. 4 DOMESTIC 18 . C O R D HEL SINKI TIMES have steadily gained in weight for the past thirty years, but the percentage of obese women in the total population seems to be stabilising. Yet, the number of successful citizenship applications declined moderately to 4,200, as roughly 20 per cent of the applications were rejected. Accordingly, the immigration service expects citizenship applications to exceed the last year?s record of 8,750 applications. Beginning in the late 1980s, this proportion began to rise. Despite high expectations, only a quarter of the local policy-makers and company representatives surveyed believe the effort to promote tourism has been successful. The World Health Organisation cites a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, osteoarthritis and some cancers. However, Finnish women aged 55 to 64 have seen their waist circumference jump 6 per cent, from 86 to 91 centimetres, over the same timeframe. Generally, the older a person is the more likely they will be overweight. I am not about to resign or to discuss the possibility with anyone in the autumn. In 1950, the average Finn ate 120 kilograms of cereals a year. By 2001, this had fallen to 75 kilograms. For men, however, 19 per cent of men were obese in 2011, up from 17 per cent in 2010. The National Institute for Health and Welfare de?nes obesity as having a body mass index (BMI) over 30.

On the other hand, the district court imposed ?nes on a security guard and a police sergeant for data protection violations and negligent violations of of?cial duties, after both admitted to accessing the register out of curiosity. ?I looked it up out of curiosity and thoughtlessness,. The prosecutor had called for a penalty for murder for the defendant, Sauli Kalevi Halonen, for shooting the 32-year-old victim in the chest with a sawn-off ri?e in Noljakka, Joensuu, last March. The bank has already compensated for the losses incurred by its customers. Meanwhile, the defendant, Pavel Stserbits, adamantly called for the dismissal of all charges and claims for damages. In addition to Stserbits, the court of appeal convicted a roughly 30-year-old man of foreign origin of aiding and abetting aggravated fraud. The shooting took place in Ikonen?s home and was committed with his unlicensed ?rearm.

In addition, it reduced the aggravated rape sentence of Eronen?s girlfriend, Olga Arkhipova, by ?ve months to two years and two months in jail.

Elsewhere, the court upheld the four-year prison term handed to Eronen?s employee, Alex Hallikainen, for aggravated rape, rape and attempted rape. The suspects were apprehended by the police in March, after they struck at the steel mill for the second time. The men were found guilty of principally drug and ?rearms offences and consequently handed penalties ranging from a nominal ?ne to roughly one year in prison, as the court viewed that there was no evidence to suggest the crimes were committed on behalf of a criminal organisation. The punishments range from one year and six months? to three years and three months. The gunman is tentatively suspected of attempted manslaughter. Elsewhere in Oulu, a roughly 40-year-old man was arrested on 11 July after discharging a shotgun into the air in the Kaukovainio district.

In addition, Matti Luolavirta, the of?cer in charge of the investigation, conceded that the course of events remains largely unknown, suggesting that the incident may have been preceded by an argument between the two, possibly inebriated, men. In addition to Halonen, Jarno Kristian Ikonen, 31, was convicted to four years and eight months in prison for ?rearms offence and aiding and abetting manslaughter. imprisonment as the court dismissed demands by the prosecutor, who had cited the organised nature of the thefts as aggravating circumstances, for stricter penalties.

The world of precarious workers was one of the concerns taken up. ?For a certain period there was a network of different groups around Europe, a mailing list, an organisational structure, a common manifesto and a common platform for calling demonstrations,. Those contributions are to continue for the next ?ve years, though critics warn that this aspect of the plan is only voluntary. Initially it had seemed as though the North American companies, in refusing to sign the European accord, would simply proceed with individual plans for remediation in Bangladesh and public relations elsewhere. Yet as analysts were suggesting that Bangladeshimade clothing might soon become taboo to consumers, in early June several of the largest companies here agreed to negotiations hosted by the Bipartisan Policy Center, a Washington think tank.

Indeed, according to a joint response by a halfdozen labour rights groups (not including the AFL-CIO) shared with IPS, companies that decide to withdraw from the alliance are only penalised by being forced to pay their share of administrative costs. ?In this sense, Italy represents an anomaly. Alessandro Marca from the San Precario movement told IPS. BIRON IPS of 17 major US brands and retailers, including Walmart and Gap, has unveiled a ?ve-year agreement aimed at strengthening conditions and worker rights at garment factories in Bangladesh. The new alliance, announced in Washington on 10 July, received cautious initial approval from some sectors. Yet the response from labour rights groups has been excoriating, with advocates particularly warning that the agreement?s enforcement provisions are too weak to ensure robust implementation. ?The so-called Global Alliance for Bangladesh Worker Safety was developed without consultation with workers or their representatives and is yet another ?voluntary? scheme with no meaningful enforcement mechanisms,? Richard Trumka, president AN ALLIANCE of the AFL-CIO, one of the largest labour unions in the United States, told IPS in a statement. ?Companies that sign onto the alliance but fail to meet a commitment face no adverse consequences beyond expulsion from the scheme. ?What we aim at?is to simplify the system, make it much more fair and understandable for everyone, and dismantle the problem with the current welfare system in Europe.? Sceptics inevitably pose the problem of ?nancial backing for such measures. Jourdan said the proposed basic income would be fairly low and would serve only as base that each member state should top up with its own resources. Gobetti, who is lobbying the Italian parliament to adopt a minimum income system similar to that already in place in most European countries, said it is only a matter of political will. he told IPS. precarity. While both on 10 July offered their support for the results, the spectre of the European accord clearly remains foremost in many minds. ?Before they began this process, the members of the alliance decided that they would not join the accord, so this was not and is not a question of the alliance versus the accord,. ?When we started we also discussed the idea of an unconditional basic income for everybody. ?The grassroots movement of precarious workers has been the undisputed protagonist of the ?ght for the introduction in Italy of a minimum income,. said Marca. Transnational mobilisation such as the anti-G8 demonstrations and the European Social Forums allowed many grassroots movements to connect and raise cross-border initiatives. was coined by the No Global movement in Italy back in 2001 to de?ne the condition of a new generation of workers who have no option but to take up short-term and unstable jobs. Now, with unemployment skyrocketing across Europe, the quest for better working conditions and a common European strategy to tackle precarious work seems further than ever. ?When we started to talk about it, the political class and the trade unions considered precarity a transitory condition, not destined to become chronic,. The criterion should be simply, what?s the best way to improve worker safety.? no paid holidays, not to mention unemployment subsidies. Millions of precarious workers have no rights, no maternity leave, After the recent factory collapse in Dhaka, workers in the garment industry shall now produce under safer labour conditions. subject us to potentially unlimited legal liability and litigation. What they want is to be able to make promises now, at a time of major public and media scrutiny, that they can walk away from whenever it suits them, at a token cost.? The creation of the new alliance follows a ?ve-week process of negotiations among the companies and two and a half months after a factory collapse in Dhaka killed more than 1,100 people, the worst disaster in the garment industry?s history. But the agreement also comes after nearly 70 other companies, primarily in Europe, agreed to support a new ?re and building safety accord that has won widespread approval from labour groups. As the European Commission site explains, the ECI allows citizens, upon the collection of one million signatures from at least seven out of the 28 member states, to participate directly in the development of EU policies by calling on the European Commission to make a legislative proposal. The UBI aim is to pressure Brussels to adopt a uni?ed basic income system for all EU citizens, regardless of their working and ?nancial situation. ?The crisis proved them wrong. For large companies, this would work out to around ?ve million dollars ? while Walmart alone brings in more than 400 billion dollars annually. ?For a company with billions of dollars in revenue, such a penalty is a minimal cost of doing business, not a serious deterrent,. The education system is also very expensive, but one would never think of abolishing it.? According to Marca, initiatives like the ECI are welcome because they create awareness around the issue, but there is a need to be realistic. Gobetti said. ?The main problem with precarity is that workers are liable to be blackmailed, and we believe that the introduction of a minimum income is the only real solution to it,. we don?t want one dollar of that to go to lawyers; we want every cent of that to go to the factories.? Under the terms of the new agreement, by October a common set of safety standards will be created for all factories producing products for alliance members. The Italian movements are stronger here because there is more need for them to exist.? The introduction of a minimum income is indeed one of the core battles for San Precario. Stanislas Jourdan, French activist from the Unconditional Basic Income (UBI) network, is pursuing a European project. ?The European Citizens Initiative (ECI) is a tool that enables citizens to speak out,. Jourdan told IPS. Mitchell said. Yet he noted in closing: ?My hope, and here I speak personally, is that the members of the alliance and the accord will one day soon make their efforts common to the extent possible

18, Mon closed. Held for the ?rst time in 1998 as the Finnish Championship, there has been active interest in participating in the muddy enjoyment. E. 17. Taking place on 24 August this year in Savonlinna, the last event in 2012 saw a new competition record, set by then-18-year old Ere Karjalainen, who threw his old Nokia phone over 101.46 metres! The current world record is held by British Chris Hughff, who threw his mobile phone over 102.68 metres in 2012. For passionate berry hunters all over the country, the annual World Championships of Berry Picking on 7 September is a day to be marked in the calendar. 24 JULY 2013 HELSINKI TIMES BARS & PUBS & RESTAURANTS GU T H I W O O DY MUSEUMS & SOUVENIRS 32 F8 RESTAURANT WORLD Stockmann department store WK ÁRRU Aleksanterinkatu 52 00100 Helsinki T +358 20 729 6803 Swamp soccer has experienced an ongoing increase in popularity since its invention.

Be it out of overcompensating, simple boredom, or a funny mood after a couple of beers with friends . Held just 40 kilometres away from the swamp-soccer crazy Hyrynsalmi in the town of Suomussalmi, inhabitants of the Kainuu region seem to have a special talent for coming up with new trend activities. Both individually or in teams, contestants must pick as many lingonberries as possible in order to be crowned berry picking world champion. But aspiring champions watch out: in order to beat the current individual world record, one has to pick over 27.98 kilos of berries in only one hour! SOUVENIRS & CAFES Café ????

Blueberries, for example, contain fatty acids such as omega 3 and 6, vitamins A, B and C, antioxidants and ?avonoids. This year does not seem to be a great one for picking these ?super fruits?, according to the Finnish Forest Research Institute, which has estimated that, despite the warm weather, this berry season is set to be a pale one. Pick only ripe berries . It?s recommended to avoid using plastic bags or sacks and not to pour berries from one container to the other, as they break rather easily. Those planning to sell the fruits should try to bring them to the buyer the same day they are picked. Compared with last year, numbers have gone up nearly 10 per cent. In recent years, it has become a real business. This summer, thousands of people are expected to come to Finland to pick and sell berries, whose price varies depending on the type of berry. According to Yle, some 2,500 foreign berry pickers should come and work in Finland during the berry-picking season. However, only a few per cent of these is picked.

Each berry picker should avoid disturbing other people by collecting fruit too near to their houses, and refrain from damaging their property, making too much noise or leaving litter. Pick berries too close to homes . LIFESTYLE HELSINKI TIMES 18 . The most popular, and commercially most signi?cant, types of berries are lingonberry (puolukka in Finnish), blueberry (mustikka) and cloudberry (lakka), as well as crowberry (variksenmarja), cranberry (isokarpalo) and rowanberry (pihlajanmarja). Finland, the world leader in the development of functional or health-enhancing foods, is home to these fruits, often classi?ed as ?superfoods?. Those travelling with cars or motorbikes should refrain from driving off-road without the landowner?s permission. In addition, breeding birds, their nests and young should be left in peace, as should reindeer and game animals. As in previous years, a berry phone hotline and email service will be available to ask question and report problems related to berry picking. A plastic cover or cloth should cover the container, so that dirt does not get on the berries during transportation. During the last berry-picking season, the operator received 55 messages, mostly complaints. Twenty-one of these were about people picking berries too close to villages, 15 were more general criticism of berry picking practices and the remaining were a miscellany of comments regarding littering, open ?res and traf?c behaviour. Generally though, berry picking is a fun activity for the whole family: sunny days, nature, and buckets full of delicious fruit, at least for the lucky pickers. to pick and eat berries, there are a few things that should be kept in mind before heading to the woods.

For the rest of the people, with no money-making thoughts, berry picking is simply an enjoyable pastime. Both adults and children look for the best berries to eat them as they are, or perhaps to add as ingredients to pies, smoothies or soups. Since no speci?c skill is required for berry picking, other than comfortable shoes and, most importantly, the will to spend a day outdoors, it is easy to start a berry-picking adventure in the forest.

It turns out to be a mere formality as Pihkanen soon brings all three dessert options to the table and with the last bit of effort we devour the Blue delicacy (?11.20) . The menu is full of traditional Finnish dishes made out of raw materials from small, local suppliers across the country. ?We are continuously searching for new, local Finnish food and drink products to enhance our menu with,. Although the lamb was delightfully tender and almost melted in my mouth as a result of 10 to 15 hours of braising, the reindeer proved both Eva?s and my favourite, a dish that chef Kaitanen also seemed particularly proud of.

Pihkanen explains, as we order the Supreme Savotta (?22.60/ pers) for a starter, which is an assortment of Finnish appetisers intended for two people or more to share.

The ?oorboards are over a century old, the wooden furniture well seasoned and the walls are ?lled with memorabilia from all over Finland. The presence of wood is almost absolute as Savotta is not simply a nostalgic take on Finnish cuisine, but also a tribute to the Finnish logging industry, which so many Finnish families have depended on. But as the day was a fairly sunny and warm one, we decided to eat outside instead, on the rather spacious terrace complete with a wooden shack where lumberjacks could have stayed the night when working in the logging camps or savottas, if it wasn?t for the lack of forest and lumberjacks around us.

Upon entering the restaurant itself, a strong scent of wood greets you by the door and following the staircase down to the cosy dining area feels like descending into a rural Finnish cabin some decades in the past. Before leaving, I still have a sip of the Mamsellin Makea (8cl/?9.20), a Finnish sweet berry wine made out of green currants, which turns out to be the perfect summer refreshment. It is the evening sun that greets me when I ?nally resurface into the Senate Square, as what had started out as a simple lunch somehow turned into a whole day?s feast.
