Editors’ Letter Welcome to the May/June issue of Chiltern View Villages magazine. This issue we have some very exciting news that we hope will be welcomed by our readers and by our advertisers. After much thought and considerable Market Research we have decided that, from the July/ August issue, we are going to merge our 3 magazines into 1. Many of you may not be aware that for many years we have been publishing 3 local magazines ( Villages, Risborough and Thame) – printing and distributing 8000 magazines in each area. We are now going to be merging these into one magazine (printing and distributing 24000 every other month). For our readers, you will now have Community and Events information for your area, and also for the other areas – so if you live in Stokenchurch you will also be able to see what is going on in Thame and Princes Risborough. Even more extensive information will be available online at our website www.chilternviewmagazines.co.uk. For our lovely advertisers, we will be able to spread the word about great local businesses to even more local residents and, due to the economies of scale, at a very reasonable price. If you run a business locally and are not advertising with us, why not ask for more information about the area that we will be covering and the many different options for promoting your business. You can email us at salesvv@live.co.uk or give us a call on 07500 048230

Health Matters
OSTEOPATH DAVID GRAY
Foot Pain
Walking is the safest, easiest form of exercise, so why should you bother reading up on the risks? If left ignored, foot pain or leg pain can become a chronic problem, affecting or affected by our bodies, above the feet! The foot & ankle is made up of a number of small bones interconnected by ligaments & tissues all working together to give the strength, stability and flexibility the foot & ankle needs to function properly. Common conditions of the foot & ankle areas which can give rise to pain include: Acquired flat foot, Plantar fasciitis, Achilles pain, Sprained ankle.
Acquired flat foot – when the inner side of the foot or inner arch flattens. Symptoms can include, pain, swelling, change in foot shape & knee pain or swelling. Often, people who have Plantar Fasciitis describe it as a sharp pain, most often under the heel or instep of the foot. Heel pain is a very common foot problem. The sufferer usually feels pain either under the heel or just behind it (Achilles tendinitis), where the Achilles tendon connects to the heel bone.

Sprained ankle. Typically, the result of a sudden twisting or “going over” on the ankle joint. Typical symptoms are swelling, bruising, pain & instability of the ankle.

We were recently asked, what are the most popular destinations for 2017? Spain, Italy and the Canaries remain high on the list, but increasing numbers of travellers are venturing further afield with the biggest growth seen in cruising – both river and ocean. So what is the appeal of this growing type of holiday? Could it be that you can meander along the rivers of the world or set sail on the oceans, visiting popular ports and sampling the delights of each destination which might determine whether you return for a longer stay in the future. Maybe it is the amazing standard of cuisine that you will find on most cruise ships, where every meal is another gourmet adventure, or could it be the luxurious surroundings you enjoy with a glass of wine on deck taking in the scenery around you; the best of all – cruising offers fantastic value for money! Now let’s explore some of the wonderful places you can visit. RIVER CRUISES Each day is spent meandering through sublime scenery, dotted with fairytale castles, lush vineyards, medieval towns and hillside villages. There are optional guided coach and walking excursions, providing an insight into the local culture, architecture and history. Excursions are, of course, optional as you may prefer to sit back on the sundeck and watch the world go

by, but then you may be wondering what you are missing. The most popular cruises are The Rhine and The Danube with visits to Nuremberg, Budapest, Amsterdam and Prague to name a few. Choose a 7 or 8 day shorter cruise or up to 16 nights if you really want to explore. Let’s not forget The Douro (for Portugal) and The Volga (for Russia) where you can enjoy the wonders of these two wonderful countries. OCEAN CRUISES The world is your oyster – amazing destinations travelling on state of the art ships – the ultimate in luxury. If you have never cruised before, you can now take a sampler cruise for a couple of nights to see if you enjoy the experience! We are pretty certain you will. Life on the ocean wave really is an exhilarating experience – you can choose one of the smaller ships where luxury and personal service are second to none, or cruising for families, where great value for money can be had with deals for children travelling with adults. Many of the ships have Kids and Teenage clubs, featuring activities such as climbing walls, wave machines and many more so your kids are never bored! Choose The Caribbean, Europe, the Mediterranean or the Far East, all of which are now at your fingertips. CRUISING IS A DELIGHTFULLY AFFORDABLE OPTION – for expert advice and to get a quote call Spear Travels – specialists in cruising.

Stokenchurch Dog Rescue
Dog of the Month Tippy (black) and Lucky (red) are mother and daughter. They are such a bonded pair, it would be unfair for us to rehome them separately, so we are looking for a new home where they can go together. The pair came into our care through no fault of their own, as sadly their owners circumstances changed and they were being left for too long. Tippy loves playing with toys and will enjoy having a garden where she can play fetch with her owner. Lucky follows Tippy around everywhere and will try and steal her toys – Tippy allows this and then finds herself another toy to play with. They are lovely, affectionate girls and will need an active home to join. Owners should have previous experience with dogs as taking two dogs on will obviously more work than just the one – but it will mean double the love in return.
26
It would be advisable that owners attend training classes with them, being together for so long, they will need 1-2-1 time with their owners to bond. They can pull when on the lead, but they are motivated by treats and respond well to you when they are on lead (Tippy more so) – so it’s important that new owners reward Tippy and Lucky for all their good behavior. They really will make a wonderful addition to an active home that has a good sized garden. If you are interested in offering Tippy & Lucky or any of our dogs a home, please visit us. We are open every day except Thursdays between 2pm & 4pm for Viewing www.stokenchurchrescue.org.uk 01494 482695

Out of the Doghouse Dog Listening
Do you want to give yourr puppy or rescue dog the best possible start in your home? Does your dog:
• jump up • pull on the lea ad • bark excessively • display nervous, obsessive or aggressive behaviour • chase joggers, bicycles or livestock • destroy carpets or furniture when left alone • have issues with food? Dog Listening uses a simple non-confrontational method, suitable for all dogs, regardless of size, age or breed, through which you can address all undesirable behaviours and build a rewarding relationship with your dog.

What’s Wrong With My Dog? If you are you looking at other people’s perfect dogs and wondering what’s wrong with yours, perhaps it’s time to change your thinking? Many of us blame our dogs for their behaviour but have we looked at ourselves? Do we need to change what we do? Roselle Collins from Out of the Doghouse believes that it is too easy to blame the dog. She says, “Like every person, every dog has a unique character and temperament, some placid, some confident, some anxious, and all view their world through canine, not human, eyes and respond according to their individual character. If you are willing to see the world from your dog’s point of view and perhaps adjust your ways, you can help your dog to become calm and responsive, whatever its character.” If you would like help, call Roselle on 07989 947316 or email roselle@outofthedoghouse.co.uk An independent company

Empower yourself - Learn more about how hearing technology can keep you connected to the world and help to keep your brain active
Auditory Processing The eyes are often referred to as the gateway to our soul - perhaps then we could think of the ears as a gateway to the brain! From the moment we are born the input from our auditory system is shaping our neural pathways. So we must not ignore this fact as we age. If the brain stops receiving auditory signals such as speech and conversation, social isolation is a likely consequence and this is seen to be a significant factor in early onset dementia. It is mishearing that can age a person not the wearing of hearing aids Recent reports show that 81% of hearing aid users are satisfied with their devices, but this goes up to 91% for people with instruments less than one year old. This shows how far hearing aids have come, and how advances in technology are improving people’s lives. The old fashioned view is that hearing aids age you - but the truth is - it is mishearing that ages you and those who empower themselves by using state of-the-art hearing technology are keeping young and connected for longer - which has to be a good thing! Hearing Technology has made great leaps forward in the last few years, opening up new possibilities for its users. Just as our mobile phones have become smaller, shinier, and more advanced than ever before, huge developments have also been made for hearing aids. With new functions, better processing and more cosmetic designs, hearing devices now offer some of the most innovative wearable technology available today.
Connectivity - helping to keep you connected Many hearing aids can be paired with a smart-phone. This means more control than ever before for the user, allowing hearing devices to fit in with the rest of your technology and your busy lifestyle. Bluetooth technology, allows hearing aid wearers to stream sounds from the television directly into their aids, meaning volume can be set for personal needs without disturbing anyone else watching. Look no hands Hearing Technology offers complete hands-free options, so you can hear the phone call directly in both ears via the hearing aids at the right level, providing much better clarity. Apple or Android The made-for-iPhone hearing aids offer very simple solutions for connectivity and android phone users have the option to download free apps, turning your phone into a remote control for your aids, allowing you to adjust volumes, switch to special programmes for certain sound environments and use directional speech focus technology - all controllable discreetly with your mobile phone in real-time. Speech in background noise One of the greatest challenges for people with hearing loss is hearing speech in noisy environments. It is still one of our most challenging areas, but the options available now do make the very best of any situation. We also encourage people to train themselves to become better lip-readers and crucially, better listeners. There is an art to listening well and we can all practice these techniques to help support the hearing technology.

A Good Read Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier
Authors draw inspiration from many places and it has been said that there are only so many stories to be told. Very often the skill of the storyteller is not in the story but in how it is told. Ancient mythology is a common source of inspiration and it is from the old Celtic myths of Ireland that this New Zealand author has turned for this historical fantasy fiction. Based loosely on the legend of the Children of Lir and elements of the German fairy-tale ‘The Six Swans’ Marillier manages to conjure up the rich and mystical landscape of ancient Ireland. Sorcha is the youngest of seven children and is raised largely by her six older brothers following the death of her mother during her birth. Her father remarries but his new wife is jealous and attacks the children. Sorcha escapes but her brothers are all turned into swans. Desperate to save them she learns that they will be freed if she weaves six shirts out of nettles without speaking a word to anyone. Retreating into the forest to complete her task she is cared for by the faerie-folk and visited twice a year by her brothers in human form. But if Sorcha thought that this seemingly impossible task was all that awaited her she was very much mistaken. This engrossing story will completely transport you to a magical landscape, evocative of Tolkien and ancient mythology.
Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman
For today’s teenagers the mid-20th century really is history, and the attitudes of that time are alien to their lives. Young people today are exposed to such a range of cultures and people that segregation (South African apartheid or the Jewish ghettos) can seem unimaginable. Yet 34
even a cursory glance at the news reveals that it is perilously real for some, and not just those in foreign lands. This is why Marjorie Blackman’s award-winning teen novel is so unsettling. It tells of a divided society with two groups. The Crosses are the lucky ones: born into privilege and wealth. They run the country and have the best funded schools. But the Crosses couldn’t function without the other half – the noughts. The noughts are the bottom half of society. Their purpose is to work for Crosses and to keep the country ticking over. They are suppressed at every opportunity. This is segregation taken to the extreme: and it doesn’t work along the lines you might think it does. At the start of the story 13-year-old Sephy (a Cross) is secretly continuing a childhood friendship with Callum (a nought). This is a friendship that seems to be on a path to self-destruction as their feelings for each other grow. Fuelled by the growing uprising among noughts and the Liberation Militia the two teenagers are destined to be pulled apart. Blackman presents many echoes of the past: America in the 50s, South Africa under apartheid, and even the IRA of the 70s and 80s. Add to this some inspiration from Romeo and Juliet and you have a novel that will challenge the way you view the world. By Willow Coby To advertise here please email salesvv@live.co.uk

Tick Season Again!
It’s tick season again, so time to start thinking about protecting your pets from these pesky pests. Ticks are small parasites that attach to your animal’s skin and feed from their blood. Often animals will not show many signs of being bothered by ticks, but a large tick infestation can cause anaemia and some ticks carry potentially fatal diseases which they can transmit to a pet as they feed. How to prevent tick diseases: 1. Check your pet each time they come in from outside. Ticks look like little warts in the skin but look closely you will see wiggling legs. Animals that spend time in woods and long grass are most at risk. 2. If you see a tick then this needs to be remove
CROSSROADS
carefully - it is important to ensure that the head (which is burrowed under the skin) does not detach as this can cause infection. 3. Prevention is always better than cure! There are many tick products available. Some will kill a tick within 48 hours however this is plenty of time for the tick to transmit disease. Better products repel the ticks to stop them attaching in the first place. Speak with your vets for advice on which product is right for your pet. Kathryn Miller MRCVS BVSc

It turned out to be very fortunate that we did, as Owain spotted that one of our trees was showing the early signs of a fungus infection which would have eventually brought down the tree!
From start to finish Owain was a pleasure to deal with, and we would definitely recommend Devey Tree Care. Thank you!” Sam & Lucy Haddenham Devey Tree Care prides itself on providing the best possible service to its customers and can guarantee excellence in arboriculture.

Abingdon Air & Country Show Sunday 14th May year’s show under the new guidance from the CAA and MAA, the Civilian and Military Aviation Authorities but this year there seems to have been even more work for Neil and our aviation experts to consider.
For the past two years we have given you an insight into the helicopters, the crews and the kit they use but this year we thought we would give you some idea of what we do to put the show on. The show is a charity event, raising money for the Thames Valley Air Ambulance and takes about 6 months to prepare although some aspects can take much longer. Once the debrief is over mid-year we are back on it again looking out for acts that would appeal to our visitors and, in Neil Porter’s case listening to flying display pilots who believe their aircraft should be at our show next year! As we get closer to the show everything ramps up from advertising and publicity to ticket distribution to our outlets, from taking bookings for traders and classic vehicle owners to doing all the paperwork you need to put on a show like ours. PostShoreham we got through last
The decision has been taken to move the show through 180deg. For those that have been to the show before you will be on the eastern side of the airfield facing west, meaning our displaying aircraft will fly over a far less densely populated area. What we have to do now is prepare the airfield and any work that needs doing is done by us and we pay £11,000 for the privilege! By the time you get to us everything will be done and we hope to have another exciting day for all the family. As well as all the usual attractions we welcome the following:On the ground we have The Mangelwurzels and Britain’s Got Talent contestant Ellie May joining us in the music tent. In the arena we have the Buckingham Search and Rescue Dogs and the Cotswold Pheasant and Poultry Club have a stand. From today’s Army, 3 & 4 Regiments RLC, No. 7 Rifles and RAF 4624 Auxiliary Squadron, RAF Brize Norton will give presentations. We also offer a very special welcome to No. 322 Sqn Royal Netherlands Air Force with their highly advanced Spitfire

Simulator, make sure you speak to them and have a go! It is the same in the air as Classic Jets Model Aircraft get us off the ground, followed by first time displays by a replica CAC Boomerang making its UK debut, the RF4 Motorglider, the Antonov AN2 the world’s biggest bi-plane and the Great War Display Team. Rich Goodwin will display his ‘Muscle Pitts’, a much altered Pitts Special doing things a plane shouldn’t do! Amongst the many other displays we also welcome for the first time the DeHavilland Sea Vixen, a 1950s Royal Navy carrier-borne jet aircraft.
We hope you will have a great day with us! For your chance to win a family ticket to the show: Please answer the following question and email your answers by May 10th to salesprv@live.co.uk Name the 1950’s Royal Navy jet booked to appear at the show?

If you’ve often thought about growing vegetables, but have never got around to it, why not give it a go this year? There is one crop that is relatively easy to master, and will supply you with an excellent crop - Tomatoes. There is still time to grow your tomato plants from seed, they will germinate in just a couple of weeks, and once potted on into a 9cm pot, will romp away. If you want take a short cut, and start with a ready growing plant, now is the time to come in and make your choice. And there is the first decision you must make. There are dozens of different tomato varieties, from the small sweet cherry fruit such as Gardeners Delight to the big slicing beef types such as Big Boy. If you have a greenhouse then you can get going now, tomato plants are tender and will not tolerate a frost or cold weather. Growing in a greenhouse means, as long as you can keep it frost free on a cold clear night, your plants will soon mature and you will be able to harvest your first tomatoes in July. If you are planning to grow your plants outside, wait until any threat of frosts have passed, the end of May is usually a good time.
50
The three most popular ways to grow your plants are in a growbag, a planter (which is a jumbo growbag) or in a decent sized pot, something like a 3 litre is ideal. Growing in a growbag is fine, as long as you keep a very close eye on watering. Your compost must stay moist, and the one drawback of using a growbag is there isn’t a great deal in it, so watering every day is a must. The planter is a better bet, there’s a lot more room for your plants to thrive, and you can get away with missing the occasional day with your watering can. Growing in a large pot using multipurpose compost gives you a lot more room, meaning water can be retained for a lot longer. One way of growing that has become very popular and great for children to get involved, is growing the variety Tumbling Tom in a hanging basket. Your plant will trail over the side bearing small sweet fruits. Once the first flowers begin to show you should start to feed with a liquid high
potash fertiliser, something like Tomorite is ideal. When your plants have grown to the roof of the greenhouse, it is best to remove the main growing stem above the top truss. Although tomatoes are relatively easy to grow, there are a few things to take onboard to prevent any problems. As I’ve already mentioned it is vital to get the watering right. Letting the compost dry out then flooding it means that you run the risk of your fruit splitting, or you’ll get dark patches on your fruit which points to Blossom End Rot. If you are growing outside and the weather turns wet and cold, Tomato Blight can affect your crop, so keep a close eye on your plants to ensure they stay healthy and strong. We all enjoy growing tomatoes at the nursery, so if you would like some more advice, do pop in. See you soon, Simon, Alison, Edith the Jack Russell and all at Askett Nurseries.
