Hi Readers, You all know by now that we’re animal mad at Voice Magazines! So with that in mind, I set our chief designer, Lisa, a bit of a challenge this month. As we now have 10 magazines in total and we have 10 dogs between us, it made sense that for International Dog Day on the 26th August, I thought it’d be nice for Lisa to draw and paint each of our dogs and then place them on a picture with a caption that suits their personalities.
See you next month,
Emily x P.S. Don’t forget to mention the ‘Voice’ when you use any of the companies in this magazine

1.
Accidents can happen at any time, it is important to be prepared for any eventuality. Be prepared! Create or purchase a first aid kit.
2.
First Aid is precisely that. They’re the first steps to providing aid for your pet, the aim is to prevent damage, not cause it.
3.
If a pet becomes distressed, STOP.
4.
Always follow up any administration of first aid with a check-up with your vet.
5.
Never give human medicines to animals.
6.
Ensure the safety of yourself and others around you. Make sure you keep calm and assess the situation.
7.
Distressed or injured animals may demonstrate behavioural traits not usually associated with them so speak quietly and reassuringly to your pet.
8.
Move slowly to prevent any further distress and stay in view of your pet.

Always phone ahead and contact your vet as soon as possible.

The Nightingale Centre introduced to country life for the first time. They were accommodated in a Children’s home complex which has long since been demolished. By today’s standard it was all rather primitive but some 1500 children each year benefited from the fresh air and outdoor experience the beautiful Derbyshire countryside had to offer.
The Nightingale Centre and its Unitarian links go back to the early 1930’s when a convalescent home for ex-servicemen was built on the site in Great Hucklow. It replaced a more primitive building at Windmill village a mile along the road. Also in existence was a similar establishment for women, a large property called Barleycrofts. This has now been converted into three residences and is situated opposite the village chapel. It is these buildings along with an area of ancient woodland that makes up the present-day Nightingale complex.
Our commitment to social responsibility and the needs of children has continued and is an intrinsic part of the Nightingale Centre. With up to 14 weeks set aside each year to provide children in need with a holiday arranged by the ‘Send a Child to Hucklow’ organisation.
During WW1 many young people came here for peace and solitude having lost a father in many instances in the trenches. The records show as the war progressed more youngsters were either now with just one parent or were indeed orphaned. The Centre has a number of bronze plaques dedicated to those associated with the Centre including cousin of Neville Chamberlain, Norman Gwynne Chamberlain who died at the battle of Cambrai in France aged 33. Other plaques are dedicated to the ‘Memory of the men of the Unitarian Churches on the Tyneside’ who fell in the war. In the early 20th century ‘deprived’ children from the inner city areas of Sheffield and Manchester were brought to the Centre on open-topped lorries. Typically they stayed for a week, often

FOCUS ON LEARNING Voice Magazines recently had the pleasure of chatting to Sandra Smith, a secondary school maths teacher of 29 years standing. Sandra, who hails originally from Nottingham, has created a series of exercise books aimed primarily at 11 to 16 year olds but also suitable for a younger age range. We asked her what had inspired her and how these books could help children succeed both at school and in life. Talking to Sandra it is crystal clear that she is absolutely passionate about teaching and helping children to learn and grow…this is her WHY, her driving purpose and is what led to the creation of the books. The original idea of blank books with a contents page at the front, came to her back in November 2015 after she had asked the class she was teaching to locate a particular piece of work and saw how difficult that was for the children. Sandra jotted down that germ of an idea in a notebook, but it was November 2019 before she began to think about it again, and this time she realised that adding simple motivational quotes to each page would make the concept even stronger. In her own words, “it only takes one word or key phrase to inspire a child and sow the seeds for them to take charge of their own learning.” Focus Learn Book Company was born out of Sandra’s desire to get the exercise books published, printed and out to the people who need them children. So what exactly are these exercise books, and how can they help children towards success?
with your children at home could help them to stay on track, as Sandra’s experience has shown that children respond in an overwhelmingly positive way to the design, layout, and motivational quotes, and actually enjoy using the books which helps the learning process. Currently available in Maths, Science and English, there are plans afoot to increase the range and Sandra’s dream is that one day every child will have access to the books, and they will be readily accessible in our high street bookshops.
COMPETITION TIME WIN a set of Focus on Better Learning exercise books (Maths, English & Science)
They are very different to the traditional plain exercise books children currently use to write up their work, being A4 in size with striking covers, a contents page to enable the pupils (and teachers) to keep track of their work, and lined pages to assist with handwriting. The pages feature inspirational and motivational quotes such as, “Simple little daily habits create big success.” and “It’s OK to make mistakes, you can learn from them.” Sandra has used the books within her own teaching and says they make the children want to learn.
To enter simply email the answer to the following question to info@voicemagazines.co.uk with the title ‘Focus Comp’, including your name and telephone number.
As we are all too aware, children have missed a lot of classroom time over the past year or so due to COVID-19, and many schools will probably be providing children with ‘catch up work’ to do over the summer holidays. Using these exercise books

CHESTERFIELD SHOP MOBILITY The only hire service in Chesterfield and the surrounding areas disability organisations in the Derbyshire area and was a real value add to the Charity. Both Colin and Christine can empathise with their customers as they have direct experience of the barriers people with a disability face as they both manage their own disabilities. Chesterfield shop mobility offer workshop repairs, long term, and short-term hire of scooters, they carry out regular checks and services on all scooters. The long-term loans of scooters have no time limit in fact, the longest long-term loan a customer accessed so far is 25 years.
This week I went along to shop mobility to meet the fantastic team. After getting slightly lost, I finally arrived on the ground floor of the multi-story car park on New Beetwell Street where Chesterfield Shop Mobility is based. This base is in the town centre of the beautiful market town of Chesterfield. As you can see from the picture, Chesterfield Shop Mobility have many scooters on offer, which they have all set out for you to view. 35 years ago, 3 people with the same disabilities met with Chesterfield Borough Council as they noticed that there were people struggling to get around Chesterfield and surrounding areas (Derbyshire being a very hilly place to live). They wanted a service for people to be able to accesses scooters when purchasing was out of their reach. Christine, along with two others, decided to set up shop mobility to assist the locals and visitors of Chesterfield and surrounding areas in their endeavours to circumnavigate Derbyshire and its varied attractions. Chesterfield & District Shop Mobility Charity started with 3 scooters opening 6 days a week. The services Shop Mobility provided become very popular very quickly. Shop Mobility worked together with Chesterfield community transport for many years, but separated into two Charities in 2005.
They also offer Tracks and trails, where they take special scooters for people to use on days out when the terrain is not suitable for none specialised scooters. They offer guided days out and a drop off / collection service. These services are currently used by Queens Park, Chesterfield Canal, Holmebrook Valley Country Park, and other venues. To find out more please go to the Shop Mobility Facebook page or call Shop Mobility for more detail. Christine, seen here on power chaired, says “this is far more comfortable than a manual wheelchair” for people who are in wheelchairs for most of the day this offers a more comfortable alternative. This power chaired even has a recline feature. Colin is seen here on the tracks and trails scooter, just as its name says, it is a specialised scooter for use on track and trails where other scooters would struggle. Shop Mobility Chesterfield can drop your scooter to you at the start of your trail and collect it when your all finished. Even if your finish line differs from your start line. Anthony is seen here on the town centre service scooter, ideal to get in and out of the town centre the shops. Elaine is seen here on the boot scooter; this scooter is ideal for holidays and days out. It folds to fit in most boot spaces and is the perfect addition to any day trip or holiday.
In 2010 Christine’s husband Colin joined the Charity, Colin has over 30 years of experience working within

HOPE VALLEY RUGBY CLUB LOOKING AHEAD IN HOPE
MOVING TO PASTURES NEW
With it looking more and more likely that the Government will relax its’ COVID restrictions on grassroots sports Hope Valley RFC are hoping to finally be able to put all their hard training to use.
Hope Valley RFC will enter the coming season minus one of their most important supporters as Gary Fairchild has announced his departure from the Valley.
Their first opportunity will come with their entry into The Seven Hills 7s tournament to be held at Sheffield Tigers’ Dore Moor ground on Saturday 31 July. It promises to be a great afternoon for Rugby fans as five sevena-side competitions will be followed by a live screening of the British & Irish Lions’ encounter with South Africa.
As our host at The Woodroffe Arms Gary has not only kept the team “hydrated”, but has also provided the best post-match grub in the league. He will undoubtedly be missed and will hopefully pay the Club a visit if he’s ever back in the area.
g n i t i a aw l a v o r app
To say thanks for his efforts the Club arranged for a personalised game shirt, which was presented by captain Matt Keeley, vice-captain Jake Oldridge and 1st XV player Dominic Hunter.
Anyone who is interested in seeing what Hope Valley Rugby is all about is free to join us at training (every Thursday at Hope Sports Club from 18:30) or can contact To advertise please call Director the Voice 364 015979 029). the Club’s of Team Rugby,on Ian01629 Broad (07989

Take to the Skies, Life's too Short Pat and Ian Farr of Newton had a busy weekend flying. On Saturday 12th of June Ian undertook a Wing Walk to celebrate his 75th birthday in April and to ask sponsors to support local charities instead of buying birthday gifts. This was very successful. Pat, a Battle of Britain baby, celebrated her 80th birthday last year. Amongst her gifts was a flight in a Spitfire which she willingly undertook on the 13th of June. Having flown over London, she also flew two victory rolls before being handed control of this short-range, high-performance interceptor aircraft that came into its own during the Battle of Britain.
Not bad going for an 80 year old great granny. - Pat and Ian Farr

Watering can be a tricky thing, especially with a fruit as temperamental as the heavenly tomato. There are of course years when it’s too cold or wet for them to even make much effort. But even in a good year, they also have a tendency towards splitting or the dreaded blossom end rot – where they go black at the base. A basic rule of thumb is to water deeply, from the base, but not to over-water. Push your finger about an inch into the soil or compost and if it feels dry, water, but don’t leave the plant sitting in water. Blossom end rot comes from irregular watering and lack of calcium; cracking from too much water which makes the pulp inside swell faster than the outside skin can stretch. You can still eat split toms, just harvest them fairly quickly as they may start to rot if the flesh is exposed. Tomatoes which have started to change colour will ripen on or off the vine. As the trusses grow – ideally about five or six per plant - remove the lower leaves of the plant to prevent disease. All a bit of a faff, but worth it when you taste them just-picked. Cut back herbs now to get a fresh flush before the first frosts in autumn. Dry and freeze for winter food flavour. If you deadhead your lilies you’ll get a better show of blooms next year. Collect seeds if you want to grow more of your own plants next year. Pick dry (i.e. brown red or black) seed heads and put somewhere to dry before shaking or crushing. Discard chaff (anything that isn’t a seed.) Some seeds can be sown now and overwintered and others can be kept in labelled packets and either left somewhere dry or stored in a fridge at about 5 degrees.

Top Tip Try to turn your compost about once a month at the moment, or at least give it a good poke. This helps aerate and speeds up decomposition. 06/11/2018 18:16

Peak Damsels on the rise
If the weather is good, then from springtime onwards local ponds and lakes become the haunt of a delightful group of insects called ‘damselflies’. These delicate creatures are the smaller cousins of the much bigger and indeed more butch ‘dragonflies’. The two types of ‘odonata’ are in fact easy to tell apart. The damsels are much smaller and more delicate with thin pencil-like bodies and when at rest their wings lie lengthwise along the body. The dragons on the other hand have much bigger, heavier bodies and cannot close their wings; instead, these stick out sideways when resting. These insects spend most of their lives as aquatic nymphs and during that time they grow and periodically burst out of their old skin to expand into a new one. Having gone through up to fifteen moults before the final event from which they subsequently hatch as adults, the process takes a variable amount of time. Depending on the species and the location, the aquatic phase of damsels and dragons can be from as little as two months to up to three years. These water-dwelling larvae are voracious predators though the smaller damsel larvae with characteristic external gills at the end of their ‘tail’ or abdomen, take proportionately lesser prey such as mosquito larvae and other ‘minibeasts’ of the pond or stream. Interestingly, unlike other winged insects such as butterflies and moths, dragonflies and damselflies do not pupate to undergo a process called complete metamorphosis. Instead of this radical process they undergo ‘incomplete metamorphosis’ which means they transition directly from larva into adult. This change is effectively the final larval moult and takes place out of water. Day length and ambient
temperature are the key triggers for metamorphosis, and for some species this is synchronised with many individuals emerging together. This can happen in garden ponds for instance with large red damselflies emerging en masse as adults. If you look carefully at emergent pond vegetation then you may see the abandoned dried out husklike skins of the larvae attached above the waterlevel. Some species like common blue damselflies and large red damselflies for example, may be abundant in your garden pond but you can easily overlook them. There are different ‘blue’ damsels and the key to identification is in the patterning of blue and black down the ‘tail’ or abdomen. Of course, this may be hard to spot when they are in flight! Another group of damsels that is currently spreading across our region is the ‘demoiselles’ and these are absolutely stunning. There are two main species nationally, the ‘beautiful demoiselle’ and the ‘banded demoiselle’. It is the latter which we now see along riversides and streamsides in lowland areas. So watch out for these on riverside walks along the Derbyshire Wye or Derwent for example.
