Editor’s Message Ok, so we are officially in autumn and the clocks go back 1 hour on the 25th October. Always a tough time of year, especially for us working dog owners because apart from the weekends, we have to mostly walk in the dark….which is why we have some cracking walks coming up to keep your vitamin D levels up by enjoying a lovely long walk with a pub lunch on a Sunday!!

More bad news cushioned by good news. I know of at least one local fireworks display that has been cut this year due to funding issues and it was popular too! However, if you are looking for a good quality local event that has fun for all the family, Newton promises to host a fabulous event and I for one will be taking myself over there this year.

And on a happy note, the NEC 3-day Christmas Gift Fair is celebrating its 20 th anniversary this year and I’ve got tickets to give away again!! I went last year and it was absolutely fantastic. It really got us into the Christmas spirit and I even managed to pick up a few great pressies nice and early! So, if you want to be in with a chance of winning a pair of tickets, tell me which edition you receive and what pages the symbols below are on and send your answers into emily@voicemagazines.co.uk by the 1st November, with the title of the email reading “I want to win some tickets!”. Now be careful and make sure you get the symbols and page numbers right as there are a few red herrings in there! Good luck and see you next month for the Christmas Edition….EEEEKKKK! J Happy Reading,

Emily x

A Dad & his Lad...

Topical and controversial…what more can we ask for?!

Although the facts don’t lie, do you agree with our Dad this month?

Rooney breaks the record but is he the finest English striker?

Wayne Rooney overtook Sir Bobby Charlton’s record in September at Wembley v Switzerland but although he has scored more goals, will he really be recognised as our greatest striker of all time?

Considering Rooney has only scored 1 goal at World Cup finals and since making his debut in 2003 it is questionable. He did score 4 goals in Euro 2004 and only 12 of his strikes have been in Friendlies however there are more deserving candidates for the accolade.

Gary Lineker scored 48 goals in 80 games, a feat Rooney took 105 games to match.

It depends on the stage and the opposition of course.

Lineker scored a remarkable 10 goals in 12 World Cup final appearances, although interestingly he did not manage a single goal in 2 disastrous European Championship campaigns (1988 and 1992).

Jimmy Greaves scored 44 goals in 57 matches, including 6 hat tricks but Greaves was unlucky.

Fit enough to play in the famous final in 1966 v West Germany, Greaves was left out after being injured in the earlier stages of the

6

tournament after French midfielder Joseph Bonnel left Greaves nursing a wound requiring 14 stitches in his leg. Had Greaves been selected and scored in the ‘66 final, combined with his record he would have been the undisputed greatest English striker of all time.

Geoff Hurst, 24 in 49 appearances, cannot go without a mention. This is the man that scored a hat-trick in the 1966 World Cup Final after all. The fact is though he has scored less than half of Rooney’s total Bobby Charlton, the previous holder of Rooney’s record, notched 49 goals in 106 games. A record almost identical to Rooneys.

Including 4 World Cup Finals goals, it is easy to forget he wasn’t actually a striker but a midfielder. 22 of his goal were scored in friendlies.

So right now, in my opinion, Lineker pips it. A goal every 1.67 games at International level and his 10 goals on the biggest stage of all, at the World Cups in Mexico ‘86 and Italy ’90, make him the number 1.

Rooney, still only 29 and with 2 major tournaments left in him, needs two dominant performances in next years’ Euros in France and the 2018 World Cup in Russia, to be considered for the achievement of the greatest England striker.

Derbyshire Police UPDate

as the darker nights draw in and we say goodbye to the summer months, it is time to start thinking about home security and personal safety throughout autumn and winter.

You can step up security by using items including alarms and door chimes to better protect your property. If you are heading out for the evening but you are worried about leaving your house in darkness, consider applying timer switches to lights, TVs and radios, to make it look like someone is home. The use of outside lighting will help you to detect if someone is near to your property. Investing in gravel for your driveway or footpath will also allow you to hear if a person is approaching.

October brings with it the prospect of Halloween and trick or treating for many local youngsters. Whilst this is a great activity for young children to take part in alongside a responsible adult, trick or treating can be extremely daunting for the more elderly and vulnerable residents in the community. ‘No Trick or Treat’ posters produced by police will be available free of charge to pick up from local organisations including doctor surgeries, shops and libraries. These posters can be displayed by anyone not wanting to be disturbed during Halloween night and local Safer Neighbourhood officers are urging anyone taking part in the Trick or Treating celebrations to respect the wishes of those who display these posters in their homes.

Posters are also available for shops and businesses to inform people that staff will not be selling flour or eggs to anyone under the age of 16 during the Halloween period. Local officers are encouraging residents to be vigilant to anti-social behaviour (ASB) during this time and report any suspicious activity to police by calling 101, or 999 if a crime is taking place.

In November as commemorations for Bonfire Night take place, residents are again being encouraged to be alert to any ASB and crime that takes place. Posters are available to download via the Derbyshire Constabulary website informing members of the community about the laws around fireworks and these can be displayed in shop windows too.

For more information around security and safety, and to download the selection of posters mentioned above visit www.derbyshire.police.uk To speak to a member of your local safer Neighbourhood team call 101.

Rambles with Rafa What a lovely walk we have for you this month! As ever David from JH Legal continues to provide the very best walks for you to enjoy! I’d encourage you to break off at Newstead Abbey for a wander around the grounds, particularly the Japanese Gardens. As the nights draw in this should be a beautiful autumnal walk.

6.5 mile circular from Newstead via Newstead Abbey and the Linby trail.

A moderate walk for you and your dog. This medium length walk should take around 3 hours. There may be some sections of uneven terrain depending on the weather. There are a couple of road sections, so take plenty of care and make sure you wear appropriate footwear for the conditions.

Start: Car park adjacent to the Newstead Centre, Tilford Road, Newstead Village, NG15 0BS. 1. Walk back through the car park entrance, turn left and then immediately right to cross over a level crossing. After the level crossing take the first road on the right.

2. Continue along the road until it bends sharp left.

Continue around to the left, pass under a bridge pass by a metal gate and between two stone pillars.

Continue straight for some distance and pass between two more stone pillars. Continue straight to eventually pass a pond and waterfall on your left.

through a gap in the fence onto a signposted footpath.

Follow the path until passing through a gap in a hedge and then turn immediate right onto another footpath.

9. Continue to pass through a metal gate, over a stone bridge and pass by a pond on your left. Continue along the path until reaching a road. Turn right along the road into Linby village.

10. Pass the Horse and Groom pub on your right and continue along the road until reaching a roundabout. At the roundabout, turn right and join ‘Linby Trail’.

3. Further on you will pass Newstead Abbey on your right and then a car park on your left. Continue straight and cross over a crossroads. After a short distance turn right onto a footpath.

4. Continue into the woods along the path until reaching a tarmac road. Turn left along the road and continue straight for some distance.

5. Upon reaching a large pair of metal gates directly in front of you, take a footpath to the right of the gates and continue straight with a tall hedge on your left.

Continue to pass through a metal gate and then continue straight along a farm track for some distance until reaching a road.

6. Turn right along the road signposted for ‘Village Centre’.

After the road bends sharp right and then sharp left, turn immediately right along a tarmac lane signposted for ‘Linby’.

7. Pass by a large wooden gate and then pass through a double metal gate. Just prior to reaching a second double metal gate, bear slightly left and pass through a large wooden gate into a churchyard, ignoring the large wooden gate on your left.

8. After passing through the gate continue through the churchyard for a very short distance and then turn left

11. Continue along the trail for quite some distance until eventually passing a wooden signboard on your right reading ‘Linby Trail’. After the signboard, continue straight to cross over a bridge and then after a short distance bear left away from the trail and onto a playing field.

12. Head diagonally across the playing field towards the clubhouse building, near the clubhouse pass through a wooden gate onto a road. Turn left along the road and cross over a level crossing back to the car park.

This walk is for illustrative purposes only. Voice Magazines takes no responsibility for anyone who chooses to follow this route and encourages all walkers to obey all byelaws and signs and to respect the area they are walking in, ensuring they pick up all dog mess and obey the countryside code at all times.

Gardener’s Calendar ~ October 2015 Although it may seem like summer’s still with us some days, it’s spring bulb planting time. The earlier the better for most bulbs while the soil is still warm and roots can get established. This helps them fight the wet and potential rot of the winter. Tulips are different – plant at the end of November to prevent tulip fire.

Generally plant most bulbs, unless individual advice says different, at two and a half times their own depth.

Early spring flowerers such as azaleas and rhododendrons need plenty of water now to help buds swell in season.

If you’ve given your houseplants fresh air and fun outside this summer now is the time to start bringing them in. Try to do it slowly if possible, maybe to a cool greenhouse first, so the shock of a warm house doesn’t knock them back. Just make sure they’re in before the frosts

TOp Tip!

If you’re raking fallen leaves to create leafmould either run the mower over them first or put them into the shredder to help break them down more quickly.

Louise’s TraveL Page HI my name is Louise and I would like to welcome you to my monthly travel page. I have lived in the village most of my life and worked in travel for 30 years. Each month I will bring you the latest travel news and information to help you with your holiday or business trip.

Booking a holiday as easy as it used to be!

Do you remember the good old days before the internet? We would go into a travel agent to book our holiday and everything would be taken care of… Well booking your holiday can be as simple as that once more. All I need are your holiday dates, where you would like to go, an idea of what you would like in your hotel – pool? All inclusive? Separate sleeping area for the children? – things like that so we know between us we have the perfect holiday for you. Everything is taken care of and you will receive printed tickets, will be checked in online and even your luggage labels filled out for you. I am with you every step of the way. If you are travelling with children you will also get activity books or cards to keep them entertained on the flight.

“After previously going to a travel agent and getting little information on a destination we’ve never been to from an employee who didn’t seem to have much enthusiasm, I decided to ask Louise for a quote and information. She put me at ease by sharing her knowledge of the destination, the climate, what to do in the area etc. and put us at ease by answering all of my questions, no matter how small and with genuine care. It was also a lovely touch that we were checked in before we even got to the airport, our luggage labels were completed and our daughter had an activity pack to keep her amused on the plane. I would recommend Louise and in fact have already shared my experience with work colleagues!”

The Whittakers I don’t charge a fee for the service I provide as the suppliers I can use pay me a commission. As a truly independent agent I am not tied to any tour operators so you can rest assured that the holiday you book is perfect for you.

If you would like to meet me for a chat to discuss your plans, I now have an office in the South Normanton Business Centre and would love to have a cuppa with you to talk about your holiday plans. Give me a call and I will get the kettle on.

I am available 7 days a week to take your enquiries and 24/7 whilst you are away in the event of an emergency. For all your travel needs, business or leisure please call me on 01773 860347 / 07973 306280 or email me louise.cutting@travelcounsellors.com and experience the very best in customer service.

Gary’s Grumbles

I do love it when Gary goes on holiday, it’s like his world is broadened to a whole new level of grumbling! Safe to say that the beast is back with fire in his belly and all this just prior to his ‘favourite’ time of year…I can hardly wait for next month!

Just got back from Sunny Ibiza, did a couple of gigs at Pacha and went to Amnesia on the Saturday, the kids enjoyed it, but I can’t remember much about it. A couple of things stood out whilst away, one good and one not so. The good bit, well that was being able to walk past restaurants without being hassled to look at their menu or ‘just have a drink’, you may recall that it’s a pet hate of mine, so big up to the Ibizians for their courtesy.

The not so good was that the tattoo craze that seems to have taken a hold of the Continentals and I don’t just mean the young un’s. Middle aged women with medieval script all over their bodies I’m afraid is not attractive. The old tripe about it being a statement, I want to prove my individuality, it’s a proof of my love for my kids, blah, blah, blah. Well if you love them, then why not take ‘em out for the day with the money you could have spent on ya tat.

I saw one young lad with an eagle on his stomach, well let me tell you, in a few years is probably going to resemble a big tawny owl, as his gut expands. One of my best mates in my youth, let’s call him Glyn for these purposes, proved his love for his girlfriend by having her name tattooed on his arm. Of course they split up a few weeks later and he spent the next 3 years wandering around pubs and nightclubs conversing with anyone called Tracy. He thought he was in one

night until he found out that her name was Tracey with an ‘E’. It’s a fashion and fashions die out, rebellious youth is unlikely to want tats when they see the faded dolphin on their granny.

There’s a subject that is splitting this country in two and will lead to greater levels of violence and disorder than we’ve witnessed for years and it really does sadden me - Racism, we dare not speak of it, well some do don’t they? The ‘facebook warriors’. To upset the liberal amongst you, if proven beyond doubt that someone is a paedophile then I would fully support castration, if someone is proven to be a terrorist or have the intention of killing and maiming innocent people then again I would support the Government in destroying them. I know the argument about the Birmingham 6, etc. But at some point we have to believe in technology and hope that the establishment has finally rid itself of corruption. I so hope that it’s not a vain belief.

And to upset the rest of you, lets always remember that all Germans weren’t Nazis, that all Irishman weren’t terrorists, that all West Indians aren’t muggers and that all Muslims aren’t terrorists or paedophiles.

By all means target the criminals and guilty, but blanket hatred because of someone’s skin colour or religion is just wrong. There’s good and bad in every race, apart from the Welsh.

If on the off chance, you would like Gary to write about something in particular, feel free to contact Emily on info@voicemagazines.co.uk or 01773 604 178 / 07891 639 638 The views expressed in the column above are those of the author only and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of Amber Valley Media
