I’m sure readers will join me in extending thanks to Chris Dance who steered the good ship ‘Really Useful’ for the last nine years.

Dave Smith is staying with the new look publication so please continue to contact him with any advertising requirements.

Covered has been publishing magazines in Leeds for years now and, having merged with RUG, now boast the biggest monthly distribution in the city. 90,000 copies per month in total. You can expect to read more local news as our team spends time out in the community; attending, supporting and reporting your events and activities. If you have an event you’d like some exposure for, just let me know and I’ll do my best to offer some support.

Other changes will include new reader-friendly listings for non-profits and charities, features on fashion, hair & beauty, gardening, property, pets, arts & entertainment and much, much more. We’ll also include giveaways and cash prize competitions – everyone likes a freebie don’t they? Try and ‘Find Sid’ this month for your chance to win £100. If you’re a party person then there are two tickets for the city’s hottest New Year event up for grabs on Pg2.

If there is something you’d like to see in the new look magazine then don’t be shy, let me know! You can also share your views with others in the community by writing to our Readers’ Letters page – there’s £10 up for grabs if you’re the Star Letter.

I hope you will welcome the changes to your local magazine and I look forward to providing you with a quality publication for many years to come.

The deadline for editorial submissions and advertising for the next edition is 22/11/13.

Until next month,

Chris Barnham Editor

Fabian Hamilton the MP for Leeds North East Of all the issues that constituents raise with me at my advice surgeries, housing is the one that outweighs all others. Put simply, the reality is that people who cannot afford to buy their own home have almost a zero chance of being able to rent a council house or one from a housing association. Virtually none have been built in this area for years. The only alternative is the private rented sector where rents are often high and accommodation poor. I believe that good housing for everyone is a characteristic of a just, humane and civilised society and I want a fundamental change of policy on house building. It would be good for those in need of a home and good for the economy creating tens of thousands of new jobs.

Here in the Leeds North East constituency, a flying start could me made by building on land in Meanwood formerly occupied by the now closed and demolished Miles Hill Primary School. More new council houses could be built on this one site than have been built throughout Leeds in the last ten years. We must ensure that land where houses can be sensibly sited does not lie idle and that Councils are empowered to get on with the job of building. The growing practice of converting houses into separately let rooms or studios and the construction of micro apartments is symptomatic of a national crisis in housing provision. Years ago Leeds used to have an enviable reputation for being the city where there was a genuine choice between buying a house or renting a council house and there is no reason why this cannot happen again.

Readers’ Thoughts What do you think to the comments your local Councillors have made?

Share your views with the community by dropping a line to: The Editor, Covered, Butonia House, Clayton Wood Close LS16 6QE or email: chris@covered-magazine.net The best letters will be included in next month's magazines and the Star Letter will win £10!

Really Useful Guide

Planting shrubs with berries will brighten the garden and encourage wildlife.

There is still time to finish planting daffodils, crocus and other small spring bulbs, as these need to be growing now. Next comes the tulips, plant in groups of five at a depth of 8”, which will allow them to naturalise over the next few years. These may be inter-planted with wallflowers, winter pansies or violas to keep the beds looking interesting.

Foliage and berries are essential at this time of the year, to provide colour in the garden. Japanese acers are slow growing, with their leaves turning yellow, orange and red. Similar to the smoke bush Cotinus, Euonymus and a number of other shrubs. There has been a good crop of bright yellow and red berries on the pyracantha shrubs, also on the Rowan trees which can be white, yellow, pink, red and orange.

There are a number of other shrubs with berries, so look around and choose one to brighten your garden and feed the birds as well.

Prepare to take all your tender pots under cover, checking they are not harbouring any disease or

insects before housing them. Then have your fleece, bubble wrap or plant covers handy, ready to insulate them when the first frost warnings arrive. Do not lift your dahlias until the first frosts have blackened the leaves, then take them inside and store them upside down for two weeks to dry out – followed by storage in a frost free area in dry peat. Garden chrysanthemums should also be lifted and kept in moist soil, ready for taking cuttings next year.

This is an ideal time to plant bare root fruit stock, roses and perennials, as the soil is still warm enough for them to establish their roots before winter arrives. Prepare the site well, incorporating organic matter if necessary.

What our advertisers say:

What our readers say:

"We advertised in the first edition of Covered and the response was fantastic. We still advertise to this day and every advert brings more and more customers to our busy garage.

“After a life time of working in newspapers, your little gift through my letterbox is both welcome and awaited!

We've found Covered to be by far the most productive means of promoting our business to the local community - I would have no hesitation in recommending it to others" Phil Leeks M.D.Town Garage, Featherbank Lane, Horsforth.

Great local news content, beautiful quality glossy paper and its A5 size makes it perfect to read anywhere.

The adverts have become my Bible, I refer to them for everything, and I have found brilliant, local, reliable contractors and lots of amazing deals, which have saved me money and give a feel good factor of supporting local businesses.

I also share my mag, it is read from cover to cover first and then passed on to family who might need this or that, or simply enjoy "COVERED". The name say's it all, you've got it Covered!”

Property Matters: WINTER CHECKLIST It’s no coincidence that during winter’s harsh months you’re far more likely to need the services of tradespeople. Frost, rain, wind and snow are enemies of bricks and mortar. Trades-people tend to be at their busiest over winter too, so you might not get quick service should you have an urgent need. Here’s Covered’s Really Useful Guide for ‘winter-proofing’ your home, inside and out!

OUTDOORS Get a roof survey: If your roof leaked last year, the likelihood is that it will leak again this year - it won’t have magically self-repaired. Leaks can be cured by something as simple as replacing a tile, but left unremedied will create bigger problems. Call in an expert to survey and sort it.

Look after your gutters: Be it a bungalow or a threestorey town house, debris will find its way into your gutters.

Remove sticks, moss and leaves regularly. If you don’t, then you risk water build-up, or worse still, ice, which may cause water to seep down walls. Gutter Guards (available from most DIY stores) will alleviate this problem for you.

Take care of trees: Snow, ice and wind are all bad news for weak trees or fragile branches. If a tree topples, it could fall on your car, your house or injure a passing person. If you suspect your tree needs attention, don’t leave it until the high winds arrive – get an arborist or tree care specialist in to take a look.

Holes & gaps: Use expandable foam to seal large gaps in brickwork (take a look around pipes, for example).

Check around window and doorframes, and fill with caulking if needed.

INDOORS Pipes: Ever had a burst pipe? You’re lucky if not – the consequences can verge on catastrophic and resultantly require flooring, ceilings and furniture to be replaced.

Keep the heating on low if frost is forecast and make sure you know where the stop tap is.

Insulate: There are many initiatives offered to homeowners who want to wrap-up their homes. Take advantage of this opportunity. Add extra insulation to lofts/attics. Well-insulated cellars and garages will also keep pipes from freezing.

Check smoke detectors: This is a must-do all year round but an increase in domestic fires during winter means extra vigilance is essential. Make sure your detector is working. Install a carbon monoxide detector too if you don’t have one already – better to be safe than sorry.

Service your boiler: Boilers should be serviced at least once a year to make sure that they are safe and

functioning optimally. Have your heating system looked over too, and check pipes for cracks and leaks.

Chimney: If you’re lucky enough to have an open fire, then an annual sweeping is essential. An unswept chimney is a potential fire hazard. What’s more, when it comes to Christmas Day you’ll want to ensure that Santa makes his descent without getting too dirty!

As always, the best advice and solutions will come from local independent traders and retailers. If you are undertaking any work on your home it is important that you have professional advice.

Oakwood Farmers’ Market - the real thing Oakwood Farmers’ Market celebrated their fifth birthday in March. They started and remain a wholly owned and fundraising subsidiary of REAP (see other article). Leeds City Council could have refused the necessary market licence on the impenetrable and ancient grounds that there were other comparable markets within a 6⅔ miles radius, including LCC’s own. But they had neither the nerve nor intention to oppose such a well-organised and supported body of ecowarriors, not least of all because REAP members do a lot of LCC’s work for free – including litter clearing at Roundhay Park. Resistance would have been futile.

FARMA certified FARMA, Farmers’ Retail & Markets Associaton, represents, regulates and inspects farmers’ direct sales, farmers’ shops and local farmers’ markets throughout UK. It has been in existence for thirty years in one form or another. FARMA expects, inspects and authenticates self-produced and marketed goods, their authenticity, their provenance - and other ecological and animal welfare criteria.

Oakwood became members of FARMA in their first year and are now fully accredited. Many of the thirty or so stallholders have been there from the outset.

Oakwood Farmers’ Market - third Saturday morning every month. Oakwood Clock Tower, Leeds LS8 2HU and oakwoodfarmersmarket.com

FARMA market accreditation favours produce actually farmed or made in the locality – not shipped in and relabelled. Mornington House Preserves (Ilkley) and Swillington Farm certainly tick those boxes.

Reaping rewards in Roundhay and Oakwood REAP (Roundhay Environmental Action Project) was started in 2007 by Roundhay residents, motivated by the grim predictions of climate scientists and the passive reaction of politicians.

With the overall aim of promoting local action on carbon reduction and the environment, they want to raise awareness and come up with real ways to change individual lifestyles, so that people feel they can do something, however small.

REAP aims to encourage local residents to live more sustainably. They run projects on energy, transport and gardening as well as events and activities. One highly successful initiative is the edible bed at Oakwood. Anyone can have a go at planting and looking after the bed – and anyone can pick the produce, guided by “Pick Me” notices! Vegetables, soft fruit and herbs are flourishing, often in varieties not found in supermarkets, and are chosen for

looks as well as taste so the bed enhances the area around Oakwood Clock. The main group activity days coincide with the Oakwood Farmers’ Market (monthly, third Saturday). In October, for example, was a seed and plant swap day – a great way of adding variety to your own fruit and vegetable plot.

Really Useful Guide

In search of Shadwell’s past – Shadwell History Society Shadwell (Scadewelle at the time) figures in 1086 in the Domesday Book. A much later publication by the WI in 1978 (recently reprinted), set out to trace the history of “Shadwell and its People” via memories and reminiscences. A concerted effort is now under way to build on existing documentation. The Shadwell History Society came into being in November 2012, inaugurated at the centenary event marking the village’s leaving Wetherby to become part of Leeds. Helped by a grant of £10 000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund, SHS aims to promote interest in Shadwell’s heritage, to build up an archive and to undertake and publish research.

Current projects include a further record of oral history, a study of Parish Council records from the turn of the 20th century, a collection of maps, photographs and memorabilia, including resources from Shadwell Primary School and research into the stories of those who lost their lives in war, as recorded on the memorial outside Saint Paul’s Church.

SHS would like to hear from anyone who wishes to be involved or has any archive material. Newspaper cuttings, photos, letters, bills are all relevant to the history of the village.

Really Useful Guide

Getting into character on day three of six weeks of rehearsals – Jacob James Beswick (Mowgli) and Andrew French (Shere Khan)

Into the Jungle at West Yorkshire Playhouse To panto or not to panto? If you are looking for a family Christmas treat with a difference, head for West Yorkshire Playhouse. Running for eight weeks from 30 November is an adaptation of Kipling’s Jungle Book unique to WYP. Adapted by Rosanna Lowe, directed and choreographed by multi award-winning Liam Steel (of Les Misérables fame) and with original music by Niraj Chag, it is a fastmoving and dynamic production using physical theatre, dance and puppetry. Mowgli’s journey brings him into contact with friendly and fearsome characters, brought vividly to life.

Watched over by a kindly panther and a clumsy (but well-intentioned) bear, he confronts a boa-constrictor, greedy dancing monkeys and, finally, the bloodthirsty tiger Shere Khan.

Each encounter teaches him something about the world, other people and himself – and how to build on his gifts and qualities and curb his dangerous tendency to over-confidence.

There is a cast of twelve, including Andrew French as Shere Khan and Jacob James Beswick as Mowgli.

Neither is a stranger to Leeds; Jacob’s sister lives in Armley and Andrew was here six months ago in the world première of Refugee Boy, based on the novel

by Benjamin Zephaniah. Both are happy to be back in Yorkshire. Andrew told Covered, “the fish and chips are the best in the country – and people here even say thank you to the bus driver!”

This Jungle Book is very much aimed at families.

There is plenty of music and dance, but Disney it is not. The recommendation is for 7-year-olds and up as the story is very close to Kipling’s original, tracing Mowgli’s path to manhood. It is a tale of rites of passage, of a coming of age, fiercer and edgier than the softer film version.

What about younger children? The Playhouse is also staging the well-loved Father Christmas by Raymond Briggs, running for six weeks from 6 December. All the giggles will be there in this version, along with song, live music and puppetry against a magical set.
