May In The Garden Don't rush to do your borders , baskets and pots as you may get caught out by late frosts. Unless you have some means of protecting your plants the best advice is not to buy your bedding until late may. We always recommend this to our customers as we want you to enjoy your garden with minimal loss. May in the garden is probably one of the most important months for all gardeners. Planting up baskets, pots and borders this should be completed late this month to ensure a colourful summer display. One thing you must do is to feed your plants regularly to keep them healthy and flowering to their full potential. This can be achieved by using purpose made slow release fertilisers or liquid feeds which are high in potash (K) which promote buds and flowering . To find out which feeds are suitable look on the container and you require the highest number to be on the right which is under K (potash) the other two elements are N ( nitrogen ) used for leafy growth and P ( phosphate ) used for good root formation. Tomato fertilisers are a good example of feed high in potash. Remember to water regularly as baskets and containers dry out very quickly so anything that will retain
moisture is useful, including water retaining crystals or if you have any old floristry oasis cut it into small cubes and add this to your compost. Other jobs this month include: Earthing up potatoes, and plant any still outstanding. Regularly hoe weeds from borders and veg plots. Open greenhouse vents and doors on warm days and nights. Mow lawns weekly. Lift and divide overcrowded clumps of daffodils and other spring flowering bulbs.
Beemats are a great new product and are now readily available, the mat is 6ft x 2ft and impregnated with a mixture of wild flowers which will attract bees. Simply lay on a prepared surface and water. Other mats Lay new turf but only if you can water available include , butterfly, bird, and frequently otherwise wait until autumn. bug control. Plant your tomatoes in Have a great gardening month and if cold greenhouses and you require quality plants ,shrubs or stake at regular trees visit us at Johns Plants, intervals, keep well Doncaster road, Langold S819QL, or ventilated by leaving call us on 07979377570 vents and doors open always happy to help. as much as possible. Protect plants from Slugs and Snails use slug baits, course grit or traps, or Alternatively Encourage hedgehogs, birds and frogs as they all prey on slugs and snails.

Touring Company Beat The Street Moves In…
Beat The Street (Ground Transport) are specialist passenger transport company Beat The Street has recently moved into Midland Court, located on the Barlborough Links Industrial Estate. This new office, run by Clowne locals Ian Massey, Mark Baddams and Garry Lewis, is the chauffeur division of Beat The Street UK which supplies sleeper busses to the entertainment and music industry.
“Our music industry and touring background means the whole team is very experienced when it comes to planning any sort of journey; from simple airport pick-ups, to providing a full chauffeur service.” This experience, combined with the facilities at their new offices at Unit 1B Midland Court, means Beat The Street can also offer an indoor vehicle valeting and detailing service and a full laundry service.
“Our car drivers have experience ranging from transporting top stars across Europe to making sure you get to the “When you live on the road, knowing airport on time. They are prompt, polite where to get your vehicle cleaned and and always have a fresh, gleaming car your washing done quickly is vital! Our offices act as a drop in for the fleet of ready to go!” says manager Ian. Beat The Street busses as they travel up and down the UK, so we have our own vehicle valeting facilities and a laundry with capacity to take on more.”
With over 20 years’ experience in the music touring industry,
TENT KITS GROW LIGHTS VENTILATION SYSTEMS HYDROPONIC SYSTEMS SOIL & COCO GROWING NUTRIENTS LIGHTING REPAIRS FILTER REPAIRS
Beat The Street entered the chauffeured cars business four years ago at the suggestion of Ian, who had spent 15 years on the road as one of its top drivers. “We could see there was an opportunity to offer a chauffeured car service to our regular music and entertainment clients and other top business executives, and we’ve gradually built up the business to the point where we’ve been able to buy and move in to our own purpose-fitted building,” explains Ian. So, with a mix of chauffeuring, valeting and laundry services on offer, Beat The Street has an interesting legacy of experience for you to take advantage of! If you are interested in finding out more about any of these services please give the team a call on 01246 810577.

Becky’s Movie Previews Things are heating up in the cinema now with the mid-year blockbusters starting to roll out. So here’s what’s coming up this month.
Coming Soon…
Sabotage
He wasn’t lying when he said he’d be back, Arnold Schwarzenegger is bringing the action once again in new shoot-em-up Sabotage. As the saying goes, ‘if it ain’t broke…’ Arnie stars as the leader of an elite team of DEA agents that also includes the likes of Joe Manganiello (Magic Mike), Sam Worthington (Avatar) and Josh
Holloway (Lost). The team goes out on a drug raid that results in the capture of the leader a drug cartel and the recovery of $10 million. Soon the team start to realise that something isn’t right when the money that was recovered goes missing and some of the team are found murdered. It’s not long before the team are investigated for the theft and they have to find out who is setting them up before they all wind up dead. This is definitely not one for the younger generation as its packed full of death and destruction that we have only come to expect from the likes of Schwarzenegger. One for the die hard action fan. Release date: 07.05.14
Godzilla
I think it’s safe to say that everyone is familiar with the concept of Godzilla as it has been known in popular culture since its Japanese release in the 50’s. This film is a reboot of the first franchise and retells the origin of Godzilla in modern times as well as being faithful to the original films.
Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston stars in the epic as well as Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass) and Elizabeth Olsen (Martha Marcy May Marlene). This may be one of the blockbusters of the year and with its 3D status, it will no doubt draw a substantial crowd. Release date: 15.05.14
From the looks of the trailer the effects look immense (it will also be in 3D) and this is definitely a film that is worth a reboot, unlike so many others from recent times.

X-Men: Days of Future Past
This is the seventh in the X-Men series so far and is the third to be directed by Bryan Singer (X-Men, X2). Days of Future Past sees a mix of stars from the original trilogy as well as the recent films which looked at the origins of the Mutants. This film acts as a sequel to both X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men: First Class as well as a follow-up to The Wolverine. These all come together for what may be the last of the films with the entire ensemble cast. The X-Men all come together to fight a war for the survival of the species across two time periods. The characters from the original X-Men trilogy join forces with their younger selves in a battle for their lives. The film sees Wolverine sent back to the past to convince the
Maleficent Now is another origin story of sorts and another in 3D, but this time it comes from the House of Disney. The film follows the untold story of the villain from 1959 Disney classic Sleeping Beauty that reveals the events that hardened Maleficent’s heart and drove her to curse the baby, Aurora. The film is told from the perspective of Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) herself and is the re-imagining of the elements of her betrayal that ultimately turn her pure heart to stone. She is driven by revenge and a fierce desire to product the land in which she resides, so she puts the curse upon the King’s new-born infant. As Aurora (Elle Fanning) grows, she is caught in the middle of the
Bolsover 1st

younger Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) of what will come to be and to prepare for it in an effort to change the course of history. This is not an easy task as he isn’t the same man he later becomes (Patrick Stewart). Could this finally be the end for the species of mutant kind? There have been rumours of a similar origin story for the character of Mystique, recently played by Jennifer Lawrence so this may not be the last we’ve seen of the X-Men. Release date: 22.05.14
seething conflict between the Forest Kingdom which she holds in her heart and the human kingdom that is part of her legacy. Maleficent soon comes to realise that Aurora may hold the key to bringing about peace in the land and is forced to take drastic action that may change both of their worlds forever. This is the directorial debut of the production designer Robert Stromberg (Alice in Wonderland and Oz: The Great and Powerful). So this is sure to be an impressive set piece if nothing else but I’m sure with the following that Disney has both young and old, I’m sure this will not suffer at the box office. Release date: 28.05.14

Whitwell & District WI… …April 2014 Update Jackie from Chesterfield Street Pastors came to talk to us at our meeting on Monday 14 April 2014 about the wonderful work done by these dedicated volunteers every week-end in towns and cities all over the country. She gave us a potted history of the origins of the organisation which was started by Les Isaacs in London in 2003 and has grown rapidly to cover over 300 locations with 11,000 volunteers today in 2014. Street Pastors can be found on our streets from 10.00 pm to 3.00 am to 4.00 am every Saturday night/Sunday morning offering support and assistance to young adults who may be vulnerable after an evening of drink or substance abuse. The aim is to ensure that they arrive home safely after a night out without having come to any harm on streets which can quickly become dangerous late at night. All are full trained, totally committed volunteers who are generous with their time doing a wonderful job
keeping our young people safe in very difficult and sometimes dangerous situations. ACWW (Associated Country Women of the World) Derbyshire Federation is aiming to raise £4,250 to fund a clean water supply to a village in Cameroon with water to spare to irrigate surrounding land to grow vegetables for home consumption with any excess being sold in the markets to raise additional income. To support this at the end of April we intend to join with WI members from the De Rodes Group to walk around Creswell Crags at 10.00 am on Sunday 27 April 2014, again to raise money for the project. All over the world at 10.00 am their time women will walk to celebrate this special day. One of our members held a Group Coffee Morning at her home in aid of the Derbyshire Federation ACWW Project 2014. By selling home-made cakes and preserves, holding a raffle and making an admission charge for the event £90.55 was raised towards the Federation target. We are also collecting
unwanted silver, gold and costume jewellery and watches which will raise funds for ACWW. Plans for our summer outing on Wednesday 20 August 2014- a trip on the Kiverton stretch of the Chesterfield Canal with a meal at the Lock-keeper Inn have now been finalised and this trip is full. The visit to Winthorpe Gardens with the opportunity for a Yoga session and of course afternoon tea has not proved so popular and may have to be cancelled due to lack of support Our next meeting on Monday 12 May 2014 is our Resolution Meeting. This is our opportunity to vote for or against resolutions for our National Annual Meeting in June. In other words it is our opportunity to ‘make a difference’ Come along and meet us – every second Monday in the month from 7.00pm in the Community Centre, the Square, Whitwell, S80 4QR. Check out our web site: www.whitwellwi.weebly.com, or catch up with us on our Facebook page – Whitwell WI – please – we do need lots more likes!

Judge Doesn’t ‘fix it’ for Bob The Builder Tycoon’s Daughter… Two recent high profile divorce cases show just how the complexities of divorce law can continue to surprise and dismay. Victoria Luckwell, daughter of the director of a company behind the creation of Bob the Builder, enjoyed a lifestyle which stemmed largely from her father’s money, including a substantial property that he had transferred to her. When she married Frankie Limata he signed pre-marital agreements confirming that he wouldn’t claim against family assets. The couple had children and were financially assisted throughout the marriage by Victoria’s father.
compared to Victoria. Mr Limata was awarded £1.2 million overall, which included a house/flat, funded by Victoria, not exceeding £900,000 – although she would recover 45% of that when the youngest child reached adulthood. Victoria’s only personal substantial asset was the property that her father had given to her. She confirmed that her father would stand by his decision not to continue to financially support her following the divorce, and she would have to sell her home to finance the settlement, leaving her and the children impoverished. She said that the judgment created a ‘gold digger’s charter’.
the Court of Appeal dismissed her claim with a 2-1 majority, saying that the settlement wouldn’t have been significantly different had the relevant information been known. The court said that in the interim, Mr Sharland’s fortunes had changed and his parents’ financial position was now largely as he had said it was, albeit untruthfully, in the divorce proceedings. Is this a licence to lie, and do we have another subscriber to the ‘cheat’s charter’, given Mr Sharland’s ability to mislead his spouse about financial dealings and get away with it?
It is hoped that recent Law Society proposals on prenuptial agreements When the couple divorced Mr Limata will re-address some of the sought a larger settlement than was uncertainty caused by this kind of agreed in the prenuptial agreement. case by making prenuptial Victoria’s father said he wouldn’t agreements more legally binding If you want to make sure that you continue to financial assist her if Mr than they presently are. get the best possible result in your Limata’s claim succeeded, nor would divorce, you need expert, he make up any financial loss she Contrast this with the case of Mrs experienced lawyers on your side suffered in the divorce - inferring that Sharland who brought a case against right from the start.

Russell Grant’s Monthly Horoscopes
ARIES March 21st - April 20th Early May is ideal for getting a makeover, updating your wardrobe, or undergoing a cosmetic procedure.

The Full Moon on the 14th will allow you to pay off a long standing debt. Your newfound freedom will come as a profound relief. A stalled relationship will move forward toward the end of the month. Disappointing news will arrive on or around the 28th. It will be difficult to communicate with a moody relative or neighbour.

A Masterpiece For £50… Local Artist, Keith Arrowsmith, studied at Art College in his youth, but decided to get a "proper" job in order to pay the rent. He kept up his artwork as a hobby, but after retiring decided to try his hand at selling portraits. He found he could provide a product at a quality and price pleasing to people. Using digital photography to capture the character and detail for an accurate portrait, Keith usually arranges a free photo session at the subject's home. Working in oil pastels Keith's striking portraits hang in pride of place in dozens of homes. Unusual pets including ferrets, rabbits and racing pigeons as well as people portraits are to be found in his portfolio. " It's important to capture" that look" of the subject in the photo, and agree the choice with the
customer- that's what I feel makes the difference.. Because it's still my hobby, i take the pictures and deliver a painting free of charge, which means I get to enjoy the reaction to my work" Working with pets can lead to some funny situations..... " A local lady phoned to ask for a portrait of her "pudding". She explained she had several photos of her old cat that might be suitable. On visiting I carefully selected one I could use, I sympathised " It's a pity she's not with us". "Yes it is really".....came the reply......" but she usually comes in for her tea about five." I returned with my camera the next day to find pudding sat in an armchair facing the TV. " She's very skittish and doesn't like men so you'll only get one" explained the owner. I took three identical photos of the immovable pet who was totally engrossed in the TV and the owner agreed it made for a lovely portrait.!"

Castle Street Medical Centre Update‌ The Patient Participation Group held its latest meeting on 8 th April with 12 members present. Emma Round our Care Coordinator was also present. Emma later introduced Helen Weston from the Derbyshire Carers Association who then gave a talk on what the association does. The association has been in existence for some 25 years and covers the whole of Derbyshire with centres in Chesterfield and Derby City. It is estimated that there at least 10000 carers in the county and in addition there are many more who do not recognise themselves as carers. Helen said that it can take up to 5 years before people decide to ask for help. There are any number of ways DCA can help, advice on benefit claims, adaptations to the home, information and DCA also arrange Days Out, trips etc, for carers. DCA can also arrange handyman services, assist with Carers Assessments, Respite Care and Relaxation Sessions. They also support Action for Children and raise awareness in schools through Drama Sessions. DCA also provide help through an Advocacy Service. Starting on June 9 th it will be DCA Carers Week and we are hoping to have a Coffee Morning during that week to help DCA with their Fund Raising and to assist anyone who might need help ( details at a later date ). DCA also produce a Quarterly
Newsletter and they have plenty of leaflets available, these are available in our waiting room. Our PPG are to look into ways to help received.
