Stay Together Forever - MicroChipSmart & Get CHIPPED Now… NEW DOG MICROCHIPPING LAWS The new law is aiming to protect animals who may become lost or stolen and return them safely to their home.

From 6th April 2016 it will be a legal requirement for ALL dogs to be Microchipped under Government plans announced three years ago.

From April 2016, every dog in England and Scotland will have to be microchipped in a plan by the Government to help reunite people with lost or stolen pets and track down the owners of vicious or illegal dogs.

Microchipping for dogs in Wales became law in March 2015, while Northern Ireland led the way by being the first devolved administration in the UK to introduce compulsory microchipping in April 2012.

The Environment Secretary Owen Paterson also announced in 2013 that people attacked by dogs on private property will be able to press charges.

What does this mean for you if you're a dog owner?

Under the Microchipping of Dogs (England) Regulations 2015 – new laws that were made in February 2015 – it will be compulsory for all dogs over the age

of eight weeks to be fitted with microchips from 6 April 2016.

PETS CORNER - New Research In Dog Psychology…

There is lots of ongoing research into dog psychology and importantly how they relate to us as humans. Reading some of this recently it made me smile how much dogs are still learning at a pace to understand and work with us as humans. I thought this month I would share some of this with you.

It has been understood for some time that dogs are one of the only animals that can read and respond to facial expressions but the range of expressions they can understand apparently now extend far beyond what we originally thought with jealousy, empathy, fear, upset being easily understood. Moreover, dogs can mirror our behaviours and emotions so if we’re having a bad day or are upset our dogs feel this directly as well. So after a hard day shake off the tension and play with your pooch or both you and they might end up feeling the stress.

This understanding of our feelings and behaviours can

also extend to dogs understanding and mirroring our feelings towards other people as well. So however hard you try to make it look like you like the in-laws if your dog doesn’t warm to them he could have actually picked up on your feelings and be openly behaving how you are inwardly feeling.

There has been a quote around for some time that say “if my dog doesn’t like you I probably won’t either”.

However, there could also be more truth in this than we thought as well.

Dogs appear to watch people and make judgements on them. Studies have been carried out with dogs watching people being helpful, unhelpful and doing nothing at all when doing a task with their owners.

All categories at the end of being observed by the dogs were offered a treat by the person (helpful, non-helpful and neutral) and the dogs significantly preferred to take treats from the person who was helpful first, followed by the neutral person and bottom of the preference list to take treats from was the unhelpful person in the

task. So in fact if your dog does or doesn’t like someone there maybe something there you really should observe in case your dog saw it first!

Your dog will also focus and watch what you focus on. This was believed to be the case when food was involved but yet again studies have shown that your dog is more in tune with you than first thought. Dogs will watch and focus on what you look at and will react also as we said earlier based on emotions you display.

Finally, studies have also now proved what all us dog owners probably already knew which is a dog can see and watch TV! No wonder then given all the above that our dog is our best friend. In fact they possibly understand us better than anyone and quite literally feel for us on a daily basis.

Or to run a competition to win tickets to see this show – email back or call Will on 01702 427100 MORE THAN 100 NIGHTS OF DIRTY DANCING ALREADY ANNOUNCED AS HIT SHOW UNVEILS ITS SPRING TOUR Back in 1987 a low-budget film captured the hearts of cinemagoers the world over as two relatively unknown performers – Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey – danced their way to movie immortality, and $214m at the box office.

Since then, generation after generation has continued to take the legendary production – Dirty Dancing – to their hearts.

Demand for a film sequel has swelled year upon year. Prospects of a remake have escalated during the past five years, only to be scotched in July 2015 when the producers announced they wouldn’t be taking up a multi-million dollar production grant offered towards making the film.

There’s no doubt music and dance fans are crying out

for a new brand-new dose of Dirty Dancing, according to theatre show producer Michael Taylor of Easy Theatres.

“To satisfy the overwhelming demand,” says Michael, “we went on the road during the spring of 2015 with a theatre show that offered an all-new take on the classic story.

“Having enjoyed many sold-out performances as we criss-crossed the country we are now proud to announce an even more extensive tour with a larger cast commencing March 2016.”

A Night of Dirty Dancing – the ultimate tribute show – fast forwards theatregoers to Kellerman’s end of season show, retelling the tale from an alternative perspective, and still featuring the hits from everyone’s favourite dance movie.

Recast and rescripted for 2016, more than 100 dates are already scheduled for the 150-day tour period. More than 2,000 performers applied for a role in the production.

“Celebrated film Dirty Dancing boasted the greatest movie soundtrack of all time,” says Michael Taylor. “All these hits are superbly performed in this fast-moving, slickly-choreographed theatrical treat.”

Dirty Dancing’s score included: She’s Like the Wind, Big Girls Don’t Cry, Hey Baby, Wipeout, Do You Love Me, Be My Baby, Hungry Eyes and the Oscar-winning (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.

Fans are invited to take a trip back to the summer of ’63, to relive Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey’s sizzling performance in the ultimate coming of age romance.

“It’s all down to Kellerman’s end-of-season show,” says Michael. “Revel in the moments you loved, the memories you made and the music that’s resonated throughout the years.”

The film defines the 1980s. It was the first movie to sell 1 million videos, it produced a number one single and achieved album sales of 42 million worldwide.

“Prepare for a night of dirty dancing with the brand-new sensational, inspirational, ‘aspirational’ box office smash of the year,” says Michael.

“Our sensational production brings all the hits to life, lavishly, live on stage.”

The show is not affiliated with Dirty Dancing: The Classic Story On Stage currently on tour in the UK and worldwide.

“It’s an all-new production featuring an all-star cast, the next exciting chapter in the amazingmusical legacy that is Dirty Dancing,” says Michael.

Unfortunately, the rebellious young women refuse to go down without a fight, proving more out of control than the last.

With the premise the same as the last, there won’t be any surprises plot-wise but plenty of laughs are sure to be had, as well as plenty of ab shots from Zac Efron.

We can’t seem to go too along without another sequel and this month’s offering is Bad Neighbours 2.

The first was released back in 2014 and didn’t do too badly at the box office, not that reviews have much influence on sequels nowadays.

With the support of her devoted partner St. Clair Bayfield (Hugh Grant; Bridget Jones’ Diary) and pianist Cosmé McMoon (Simon Helberg; Big Bang Theory), they attempt to help her make her dreams of stardom come true.

Streep has had her fair share of singing roles of late (Mamma Mia and Into the Woods) so this isn’t too

Featuring a hilarious, all-star voice cast that includes Bill Hader (Trainwreck, Inside Out), Maya Rudolph (Bridesmaids, Sisters), and Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones), as well as Kate McKinnon (Saturday Night Live, Ghostbusters).

A great one for the kids and I’m sure a lot of adults as well.

When released back in 2009 the Angry Birds game went global in popularity and was the obsession of both kids and adults alike. Not surprising then, after the success of films like The Lego Movie, that a film version would be made.

In the 3D animated comedy we'll finally find out why the birds are so angry. The movie takes us to an island populated entirely by happy, flightless birds - or almost entirely.

Fake Festival Comes To Chesterfield…

…AS PART OF 10TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR The UK’s only touring tribute festival is coming to Chesterfield for the first time this summer, with tributes to Queen, Oasis and U2 as well as five local support bands. On Saturday 25th June, Stand Road Recreation Ground will become a festival for all the family, with doors opening at 12:30pm and lasting throughout the day.

The Fake Festivals Tour is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and at Chesterfield we’ll be able to party whatever the weather, as the stage and bar are inside a giant marquee. There will also be food and entertainment stalls outside within a secure arena to create a true festival atmosphere that has something for all the family.

Discounted early bird tickets are on sale until 25th May (ticket prices increase thereafter) from the Fake Festivals website, www.fakefestivals.co.uk/2016/Chesterfield.html and are priced as follows: Adult £16.50 - Young Person (10-17 years) £9.00 Family (2 Adults, 2 Young Persons) £42.00 Under 10’s are FREE. For anyone who would prefer not to buy their tickets online, then tickets can be purchased directly from the following outlets: Chesterfield Visitor Information Centre, Rykneld Square, Chesterfield. The Healthy Living Centre, Staveley, Chesterfield Chesterfield Fake Festival is a brand new date on the Fake Festivals tour, and licensee George Thomas is excited to be part of it. “I’ve always been a huge music fan, and my wife and I have supported previous Fake Festivals, so we are familiar with the set up,” explains George. “When the opportunity came along for me to run my own festival in Chesterfield, I jumped at the chance.”

“Fake Festivals is pretty well represented in the north of the UK, but Chesterfield was missing out, which didn’t seem fair. Now it’s easy for those who don’t fancy Glastonbury to enjoy the

20

festival atmosphere in their own community. We hope everyone will embrace it, come along and have a great day.”

“We’ve been amazed with the response from in and around the Town since bringing the event to Chesterfield. The town has a great community spirit, and the event will be an opportunity for family and friends of all ages to come together and have an amazing day’s entertainment without breaking the bank....”

“Our highly experienced security team provide the comfort and peace of mind to ensure that the day can be enjoyed by both the young and more senior members of the Community. “We pride ourselves on taking care of the finer details such as providing well as maintained, clean toilets, which we all know can be the worst part of any festival” says George.

Make sure you arrive early, as one Chesterfield’s favourite bands ‘Crackin’ Right Foot’ will be opening the event, plus ticket holders who arrive before 2pm will receive a free drinks token to use at our bar.

Local Support Band Information As well as three touring tribute bands, there will also be a chance to see some local acts. Crackin’ Right Foot open the day at 1pm playing all of your favourite rock songs, followed by Sheffield-based Trinity Road who deliver a great mix of modern pop and rock hits from the likes of Ed Sheeran, Pink, Bruno Mars as well as classic rock anthems.

Our third support act are the mighty Spitfire, a classic rock influenced band from Chesterfield, who will bring the noise of AC/DC, Def Leppard, The Darkness, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden and more.

Our fourth act on the Festival bill are the amazing Stand Amongst Giants, a young, hard rocking five piece from Chesterfield & Matlock with

musical influences of Motörhead, Free, Wolfmother & Audioslave.

Finally, we’re delighted to have Fake Festival favourites The Nameless headline at Chesterfield, who always have the audience will bouncing and singing along.

Tribute Band Information New 2 are a widely acclaimed and simply awesome tribute to U2. Lead singer Frank Farkas is the double of Bono in both looks and voice.

U2 fans will be amazed at how true to life this band is. New 2 perform regularly to sell out crowds across the UK and are regulars on the Fake Festivals tour.

Oasish have fine tuned their show so much so that fans are now hailing them as being better than the real thing. Unlike other Oasis tributes, Oasish are a full five piece band and play every single song note for note as it is on all of the albums.

They have the look, the sound and most of all the ability to make any venue rock to the sounds of one of the most influential bands in history.

FLASH are widely regarded as the UK’s most authentic live QUEEN tribute act.

Our headline act have worked with some of the World’s leading brands, including: Hard Rock Café, Mercedes Benz, Ford, Visa and are still the only Queen tribute band used by Harley Davidson, Europe.

When these guys hit the marquee stage you could almost convince yourself you are watching the real thing…

And in September, the Big Fake Festival The end of season Big Fake Festival takes place again this year at Thoresby Park in Nottinghamshire from 2nd to 4th September, where all of the twenty tribute bands on the tour will be performing.

Tale of Mortimer Mouse to raise money for… …Macmillan Cancer Centre

By Andrew Dempsey Two sisters recovering from serious illnesses have written and illustrated a children’s book, with all profits going to support the appeal to build the new Macmillan Cancer Centre at Chesterfield Royal Hospital.

Cynthia Evanson, 68, from Duckmanton, Chesterfield, was given a terminal cancer diagnosis in March 2013. Her only chance of survival was a six-month course of chemotherapy which thankfully proved to be successful.

Her sister Maggie Fielding, 51, from Hady, Chesterfield, is also making an excellent recovery from a serious blood disorder, diagnosed in August 2012.

Cynthia said: “The medical care we received was excellent, along with the very important love and care of our family and friends.”

She continues, “I was worried that I may never see the birth of any of my niece’s and nephew's babies, but when my great-nephew, Oliver arrived, I sisters will be felt inspired to put pen to paper, create promoting it by giving talks at mother and some felt animals and a rhyming story to go with it...and the story of ‘Mortimer toddler groups, primary schools and various other community groups with all Mouse Messes Up’ was born.” profits going to help build The Chesterfield The book is aimed at children from birth to six years, Royal Macmillan Cancer Centre.

Barlborough Heritage Centre…

78 years on Barlborough Heritage Centre remembers the Markham Pit disaster of Monday 10th May 1938 when 79 miners lost their lives and 38 were injured.

Barlborough itself sadly lost 10 men and 7 more injured when between 05.30am and 05.33am a runaway tub on an incline derailed spilling coal dust into the air . The tub then cut through a power cable causing an explosion on the Black Shale Seam where 170 men were working 690 yards below ground. This dreadful incident occurred when the nightshift men who worked at the coalface were on their way to the pit bottom at the end of their shift. Rescue teams

were called out from Chesterfield, Mansfield and Ilkeston arriving at 06.25am to find that many miners were suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning. The mines rescue teams worked tirelessly until 10.00pm on Wednesday 12th May, 65 hours after the explosion!

This was the worst mining disaster in Derbyshire mining history at the time.

On display are many pictures taken at the time along with Newspaper cuttings and mining artefacts.

This exhibition will be on view from Tuesday 3rd May until Saturday 28th June The Heritage Centre is open 09.00am – 14.00pm Tuesday – Thursday and

Hi readers, I’m Roxanne Rhodes and I’m a psychotherapist, clinical hypnotherapist and coach with a private practice in Clowne.

Summer is coming!! Well technically and with any luck anyway. It conjures up images of beaches & barbecues, splashing & ice cream for me. And although I’m now perfectly content to bare my legs and let my mum tum hang out, lots of us are not.

Some people dislike how they look, others are concerned about how other people judge them. Too large, too thin, too tall, too short, too saggy (I’ve never heard too firm!!) – there are a heap of reasons that both men & women have body hang ups. Often when I’m talking to clients I question around why they care what others think? Who do they want to impress? If they weren’t worried about what others think would they actually worry about it themselves?

The thing is so much of how we perceive things isn’t how others see it. I know that any of you that know me will have scoffed when I said I have a mum tum, as I look perfectly slim.

But I have – and if I’m having a rough day I might moan about it – but mostly I can live with it. Because it’s just in our mind. Issues around confidence & self acceptance are things that I work with a lot. I see gorgeous clients with body

dysmorphic disorder who genuinely believe they are completely unattractive, amazing clients who have been conditioned to believe negative thoughts about themselves and are stuck in this pattern and remarkable clients who just genuinely want to lose a few pounds but struggle with motivation. Changing your mindset about yourself is a big step.

Listen to the way you speak to yourself. Would you talk to your best friend that way? No? Then why is it ok to say these things to yourself? Try some encouraging self talk, and back yourself up. What we focus on is often what we get, so focus on the positives.

If you feel that you have any issues with confidence, self acceptance, eating disorders or weight control that you would like to address then as always feel free to get in touch with me.

See you next month.
